Editor’s Note: The following was provided by the Southern Wakes United Water Ski Show Team.
The 2022 ski season is fast approaching and the Southern Wakes United Water Ski Show Team (SWU) is ready to entertain YOU!
In case you missed us, last year was a great year for SWU. In addition to competing at the Wisconsin State Water Ski Show Regional Tournament, we performed five shows at the Lauderdale Landing, six at Scenic Ridge Campground on Whitewater Lake, two on Delavan Lake and two on Elkhorn Lake in Babe Mann Park.
We are always looking for more talent to join the team. You do NOT need to know how to ski or own your own equipment. You don’t even have to ski to join our team as there are many things we need team members for. If you are interested in being a spotter in the boat, a boat driver, doing sound for the shows, designing or sewing costumes etc… WE WANT YOU!!!!! If you are interested in joining SWU, contact us at membership@southernwakesunited.com. Members on our team range in age from 6-75, so grab the family and join us for some fun in the sun! Our first on-the-water ski practice is May 19, 2022 at 5:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. at Babe Mann Lake in Elkhorn.
About Us
In 2018 the Lauderdale Lakes Aqua Skiers and Whitewater Lakes Sports Club (Minneiska Water Ski Show Team) merged, forming the ONLY water ski show team in Walworth County!
Over forty years, the teams formed a unique rivalry which included competition, shared skiers and great friendships, but both remained too small to compete against the larger teams in the state. After a failed merger attempt in the 1990s, the teams remained separate and continued to struggle.
Once again in 2018, the two boards decided to explore the option, knowing that a merger would allow them to share resources and create the best learning environment. This time the merger was a success!
SWU is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose purpose is to give its members an opportunity to work together to build confidence, learn new skills and promote leadership development, water safety education and sportsmanship. We are financially supported by SWU Magazine advertising sales, donations, team fundraisers and private performances.

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 information was provided by Walworth County Administration Department.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Walworth County will host an Open House on Friday, May 20, from 10 a.m. until 12 p.m. at the Walworth County Health and Human Services building located at 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn.
The Open House will feature musical entertainment, snacks, information, and free bingo provided by the Walworth County Council of the American Legion. The event is a celebration of Older Americans Month, a national observance that pays tribute to the contributions of older persons in our communities. The 2022 Older Americans theme is Age My Way; an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.
“We are very excited to offer an in-person social opportunity for older adults in Walworth County, celebrating life, longevity, and the many contributions they have made to society while they aged their way,” says Randy Kohl, manager of the ADRC.
The Open House is free and RSVPs are not required. Check out the new Health and Human Services building and have fun socializing with other older adults.

Curtis Chester Millard, 66, passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, May 3.
Curt was born on November 12, 1955 to parents Chester and Harriet (Kienbaum) Millard in Elkhorn, Wisconsin. Curt grew up in Whitewater and graduated from Whitewater High School in 1974. He went on to study at Madison Area Technical College.
In 1985, he married Maureen Schindler of Fort Atkinson at Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fort Atkinson.
Curt worked for 30 years as a pressman at W.D. Hoard & Sons. He was always willing to help colleagues and friends, and earned a reputation of reliability among all who knew him. He would not hesitate to help a neighbor in need by shoveling driveways or driving over to fix a TV.
Curt was always incredibly dedicated to his family whether bringing them a meal at work, helping them move, or simply checking in. He was in contact with his daughters every day and always provided a shoulder to lean on.
Curt enjoyed grilling and cooking new recipes. His family was always in awe of his intelligence, and despite valiant attempts, no one could ever beat him at “Jeopardy.”
Curt is survived by his wife, Maureen of Fort Atkinson; daughter, Megan (Wesley) Chiu of Chicago, Illinois; daughter, Erin (Alex) Herrera of Waukesha; sister, Ellen Millard of Whitewater; sister-in-law, Laurie Millard of Reedsburg, and nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, David Millard; father and mother-in- law, Doug and Dolores Schindler; and two brothers-in-law, Mike and Tim Schindler.
Private services will be held, followed by a celebration of life at a later date.
As an expression of sympathy, please consider a donation to the Fort Atkinson Food Pantry or the Humane Society of Jefferson County.
Nitardy Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences can be made at www.nitardyfuneralhome.com
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.
