A Banner Service: Garage Sale Ads

As a result of a reader’s comment that it’s hard to find garage sales in Whitewater now that we no longer have a weekly shopper, the Banner staff agreed to begin a “consolidated” garage sale posting that will be published by Thursday morning for the upcoming weekend’s sales. This announcement will only be for garage sales (a sale of miscellaneous household goods, often held in the garage or front yard of someone’s house) in the city and school district boundaries. We will not be accepting, for example, ads for cars or other items that are not part of a scheduled garage sale. There will be a limit of three times per year for a particular property. Although we may eventually make a small charge for this service, initially it will be complimentary.

Those wishing to place a notice must send the information to whitewaterbanner@gmail.com by Wednesday at 6 p.m. You may include a brief description of the items that are for sale, the hours and days of the sale, and of course your address.

Editor’s Note: The following was provided by the Rock County Sheriff’s Office. That office has assured the Banner that a person need not be a resident of Rock County to enroll in their classes.

Sheriff Knudson is pleased to announce that the Rock County Sheriff’s Office will offer two 8-hour
Boater Safety Education Courses this summer. Anyone born on or after January 1, 1989, is
required to complete a Boater Safety Education Course in order to legally operate a motorized
boat or personal watercraft (PWC) on Wisconsin waters. It is recommended that participants be
at least 12 years of age or turn 12 shortly following completion of the class.

A class fee of $10.00 per student will be collected at the in-person registration meeting. The

registration meeting in order for the student to take the course. Students will receive course
materials at the in-person registration meeting.

Editor’s Note: The following was provided by the Whitewater Unified School District.

The 5th grade bands from Lakeview, Washington and Lincoln will be combining together for a District Wide 5th Grade Band concert on Thursday, May 12 at 7 p.m. at Whitewater High School in the Auditorium.  They will be working with a special guest, Composer Peter Terry during the day for rehearsals as well as at the concert. Peter Terry will be joining the 5th grade band to work with them as well as premiering his new composition called “The Whitewater March” that he wrote and dedicated to the Whitewater 5th grade band, and their teacher, Justin Kamp. Peter Terry’s travel and expenses have been paid for by Excelcia Music Publishing Company in Florida.  At the Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic in 2019, Mr. Kamp won a raffle from Excelcia Publishing and they awarded a composer visit to WUSD!

Peter Terry (b. 1957) is an award-winning composer, conductor and educator. He holds a bachelor’s degree in trumpet from the University of Michigan, a master’s degree in music composition and theory from Bowling Green State University, and a doctorate from the University of Texas at Austin in music composition and theory.

Dr. Terry’s compositions have been performed and broadcast worldwide and appear on numerous contest and festival required music lists. With over 70 works published by Excelcia Music, Carl Fischer, BRS Music, Dorn Publications and Music for Percussion, Inc., Dr. Terry is sought out for commissions by numerous chamber groups, choirs, concert bands and orchestras. He is accomplished at every level of ensemble writing from beginner to middle school, high school and advanced ensembles. His music is colorful, dramatic, and characterized by a rhythmic verve and a deep lyricism that shows the influences of American popular music, world music and American classical composers such as Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland and Samuel Barber. He is particularly proud of the emphasis on playability and melodic interest for all the instruments in his compositions.

Dr. Terry has served on the faculties of the University of Texas at Austin, Cal State-Los Angeles, Bowling Green State University and Bluffton University and the Interlochen Arts Camp.

Steve Watson writes, “This morning (May 8) on my daily walk, I spotted a bald eagle out on Trippe Lake watching a pair of swans. After a short time the eagle flew off hungry and no swans were harmed.”

Our thanks to Steve Watson for sharing another interesting nature photo.

This quilt, Color to Lift the Spirit, was made by Whitewater’s Mary Taft Althaus. It was entered in the Quilt Week Show of the American Quilters Society which was held in Paducah, Kentucky, April 27-30. The beautiful piece was the Honorable Mention winner in the stationary machine quilted large quilt category. The award winners may be viewed on this website.

Mary Althaus said, “When I began quilt-making in the late 1980’s, I used traditional patterns and fabrics. In the early 2000’s, I began using reproduction 1800 patterns and fabrics. I joined other quilters via the Internet in discussion groups. Groups are geared towards style, fabric, a quilt designer, a fabric designer, or a specific quilt pattern to name a few. In the last few years, I have drifted towards the brighter fabrics, using Electric Quilt for design, and Inklingo to print sewing and cutting lines on fabric using my laptop and home printer.”

Editor’s note: The following message was distributed on the UW-W internal announcements page.

UW-Whitewater is proud to announce the recipients of the 2022 University-wide Awards. Please join us in congratulating these individuals on their well-deserved recognition. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to your respective units and our university!
