Whitewater
offers something for everyone Whitewater has a little bit of everything that people enjoy out of a small city. There is the University of WisconsinWhitewater, which supplies the cherry on top of the community sundae. But visitors get a little taste of everything: restaurants, live music, Broadway-esque productions and a topnotch school system. Although situated mostly in Walworth County, it also sits partially in Jefferson County, giving the community access and connections to communities such as Jefferson and Fort Atkinson, not to mention Janesville and Elkhorn. The City of Whitewater’s population is little more than 14,000, giving it a smalltown feel with some large city amenities. The Young Auditorium, a venue on the UW-Whitewater campus, features musical performances, plays and other entertainment. The Greenhill Center of the Arts also hosts events at UW-W for the entire
family. Other destinations in Whitewater include the Train Station Museum, which is in the old Whitewater Passenger Depot, part of the earliest railroad linking system in Wisconsin. Cravath and Tripp lakes offer their own unique beauty and scenery. The nearby Kettle Moraine State Forest Southern Unit features Whitewater Lake, multiple campgrounds and 56 miles of trails. Whitewater Lake features water skiing performances. Whether it’s entertainment or athletics at the university, museums or dining downtown or the natural beauty just a stone’s throw away, Whitewater indeed provides residents and visitors alike something for everyone. So, sit back, relax and enjoy checking out the pages in the 2019 Whitewater Our Town, a publication of the Whitewater Register and Southern Lakes Newspapers.

The groundbreaking for the new community center at Fairhaven’s Prairie Village was held June 27, 2018, in Whitewater. From the left, Paul Kuenning, Fairhaven Senior Services president and CEO; Scott Ehlert, Ehlert Construction; Russ Walton, RR Walton; Fred Wileman,

n audience of more than 40 braved sultry BY Tom Ganser afternoon conditions June 27, 2018, to CORRESPONDENT attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the Prairie Village Community Center. Prairie Village is a project of Fairhaven Senior Services. The community is designed for those age 55 and older located on County Highway U just a mile from downtown Whitewater. It also is near walking/biking trails and adjacent to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater campus. Property for the Prairie Village homes was purchased in 2004, with the first residents of Acorn Ridge arriving in 2007. Twenty-five additional sites were opened this spring for the development of 50 residences. Now home to 85 residents, Fairhaven Board of Directors President Jim Caldwell, said that Prairie Village could grow to a community of 175 residents over the next five to seven years — without taking into account additional land that has been purchased for possible future development. The new community center is scheduled to open in summer 2019. It is designed to be accessible and architecturally pleasing inside and out while fitting in with the prairie setting. The building will be approximately 8,000 square feet, including a gathering hall, catering kitchen, refreshment area, fitness and game rooms, a four-season sunroom and two outdoor patios.
Fairhaven Senior Services President and CEO Paul Kuenning highlighted the history of Prairie Village and Fairhaven. “It is amazing to see how far we’ve come from the first visions of Fairhaven in the late ’50s and early ’60s and the vision of our first founder, Rev. (Carroll) Olm. Kuenning credited Olm’s work as “the foundation for what has become known as Fairhaven and Prairie Village. “We also remember and recognize Rev. David Yochum, who actually worked with the Board of Directors for many years to make the initial concept and vision for Kathy Ross Prairie Village,” Kuenning added. He called the new community center “a gathering spot, a social connections place, an activity center, a place to connect with neighbors.” Kuenning said the facility will offer much more than the original one. It is part of “continuing our vision of service to others in new and different ways, our mission of serving God’s older men and women in more creative ways, offering vitality and choices and life to years.”

Kuenning also expressed appreciation for residents’ input in conceptualizing a community center. “We had a lot of resident input,” he said. “The residents were a listening post and would listen to what other residents had to say. They would share that with us, and it helped in our vision.” Jim Caldwell, a longtime member and current chairman of the board, shared his vision for the new center. “We see this as an excellent gathering point and focal center for this campus, and we look at the interchange between people as being what really adds life to years here at Fairhaven.” Caldwell expressed gratitude to the Fairhaven Foundation’s $250,000 support. “We’re able to do that through the generosity of prior residents and friends of Fairhaven that have stepped forward with legacies, gifts and grants that we’ve been able to invest and grow to the point where we can take some of these dollars and put them into adding and expanding this project.” Fred Wileman, vice chairman of the foundation echoed those sentiments. “The foundation is very, very happy to assist in the funding for this community center,” Wileman said. “The foundation was established to support all of the programs of Fairhaven. The gift that we are giving is the largest that the foundation has ever given to anything.” Whitewater City Manager Cameron Clapper also touted the new center’s benefits to the area and the city. “It truly will be a signature amenity and it will become, I envision and anticipate, something of an anchor for anyone traveling up and down the road this way. “Building community and creating spaces for people to come together is one of the most rewarding and exciting events or projects that can happen in a community,” Clapper added, highlighting its many potential benefits: “The ability to build a true sense of community among what could be a diverse population with diverse origins of individuals. The ability to instill more effectively community pride and ownership in a place, something that happens when you have a quality and superior community center in your neighborhood or in your community. “(A community center) can make the community more pleasant as a place to live because more people have contact with one another. It can increase the general enjoyment of life in the community as a place to exchange ideas that will be enriching and create memories for members of the Prairie Village community.” Clapper said the city is thrilled to see this development. “On behalf of the city, I want to pledge my support in any way to ensure things go smoothly for you.” Kathy Ross, a Prairie Village resident and chairwoman of the Residents’ Council, capped the event’s list of speakers. “Every piece of this facility, every architectural design, every part of this building, will be looked at and considered as to its acoustical function,” she said. “We want to use the facility, but we’ve got to be able to hear in it.” Ross acknowledged the board’s support and Kuenning for making the project a reality. “We also want to thank Cameron and the city council and staff for supporting and permitting this facility.” Ross offered a personal and humorous perspective about the project. “I’ve told my family that I don’t want another birthday party until I’m 90 years old,” Ross said. “My goal for that event has always been to be able to walk into it on my own and to know everybody

that’s in there. I may not know your name, but I will know your face. That birthday party would be 22 years from now. “I want my birthday party to be in this facility, so take a minute to think about what this spot will look like in 22 years. … And who knows, by that time, there may be some kind of facial recognition drone system that, when we’re walking over here, it will know who’s coming and it will have our coffee ready when we walk in the door. “I know this facility will be here in 22 years, whether I am or not, because this facility, as well as everything in Fairhaven and Prairie Village, will be well maintained, carefully considered and used well. It will have long been just a regular part of the City of Whitewater because our future trails and streets will be so well maintained. “For all of you who have contributed to this facility so far, and who will in the future, I am grateful and proud that we are all here for this groundbreaking.”
We had a lot of resident input. The residents were a listening post and would listen to what other residents had to say. They would share that with us, and it helped in our vision.”

UW-Whitewater students, faculty, administrators and others set a Guinness world record for longest glow stick Sept. 7 at Perkins Stadium as part of the university’s sesquicentennial celebration. It
measured over 150 meters, one for each year. Willie the Warhawk, the university’s mascot, also greeted eventgoers as part of a birthday bash in his honor.
A sesquicentennial year of highlights
UW-Whitewater breaks ground on Community Engagement Center and new hotel
TOM GANSER Our Town
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater celebrated its 150th anniversary during 2018. One of the many highlights occurred on Sept. 18 when officials broke ground on the Community Engagement Center and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Hotel. One of those officials was Grace Crickette, UW-W vice chancellor for administrative affairs.

2019 WHITEWATER OUR TOWN
Collaboration and creativity are driving plans for the University of WisconsinWhitewater’s Community Engagement Center and a new hotel on the city’s west side. The site, located at 1260 W. Main St., is undergoing a major redesign, including the construction of a privately owned and operated 70-room Fairfield Inn & Suites on the south side of the property. The university leased the existing 52,000-square-foot building to the north, which previously housed a Sentry grocery store, which is being transformed into a state-of-the-art hub for faculty, staff, students and community members to engage in learning, projects and research. A groundbreaking ceremony was held on
Sept. 11. “For 150 years, UW-Whitewater has been dedicated to serving our communities, and we are proud to be a partner in bringing a hotel and the Community Engagement Center to the region,” former Chancellor Beverly Kopper said in a news release. “I want to express my appreciation to the UW-Whitewater Foundation, which previously owned the property and saw the potential for this space to serve the educational and hospitality needs of the community. This project is an example of the outstanding cooperation between UW-Whitewater, the foundation, the City of Whitewater, the developer (United Development Solutions) and the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development
Authority, which helped make the project a financial reality.” According to the release, the engagement center’s mission keeps with the Wisconsin Idea, that the people and resources of the university stretch beyond the boundaries of campus to positively impact lives across the state. “We envision this building as a place where everyone can collaborate to find creative ways to make a difference in our communities,” Kopper said in the release. “We also will expand and enhance our training and certification programs to serve even more students and adult learners.” The facility will house: • Business development centers that support entrepreneurs and business owners
with consulting, market research and educational and other services • A safety lab to train future workspace inspectors about the proper techniques using hands-on experiences • Clinical suites for counseling, speech pathology and social work faculty and students to serve patients and clients • An art gallery and studio to display UW-Whitewater’s permanent art collection, welcome visiting artists and provide archival storage • A computer testing center for students and community members to complete certifications and fulfill degree and licensure requirements
• Continuing education services to facilitate adult outreach and training opportunities In addition, the center will feature dedicated classrooms, meeting spaces, conference rooms and co-working areas to host training sessions, workshops and other programming. “The Community Engagement Center is being redesigned with an architecturally industrial vibe that allows for innovative and flexible spaces,” said Grace Crickette, vice chancellor for administrative affairs. “Some areas will feature roll-up garage doors so that visitors can see learning as it happens.”
UW-W addresses food insecurity with pantry Despite the stark numbers jumping off the page, it took a chance conversation with a University of WisconsinWhitewater student to put a human face on a troubling problem. “It was during spring break,” Kristine Zaballos said of her crucial encounter in late March 2018. “A student reached out to me, saying his meal card wasn’t working and asking if he could come over to the Campus Food Pantry. “And the only reason he knew about it was through someone in student government.” Fortunately for this young man, the Campus Food Pantry opened that same month. However, awareness about the facility and the need for it still present obstacles. The pantry offers nonperishable food, including gluten-free and vegan items, toiletries and school supplies.

An even dozen members of the Minneiska Water Ski team strut their stuff during a performance last summer on Cravath Lake.
OUR LAKES & PARKS Area lakes CRAVATH LAKE Covering just 70 square acres, Cravath Lake is the smallest and shallowest of the area’s three lakes. Classified as a drainage lake, Cravath averages only three feet in depth and reaches a maximum depth of 10 feet. The lake is accessible by boat ramp, and for those who like to fish, it is stocked with panfish, largemouth bass and northern pike. TRIPPE LAKE Similar to Cravath Lake, Trippe Lake is classified as a drainage lake, but is larger in overall size. Trippe Lake covers 121 acres and reaches a maximum depth of 8 feet. The lake is accessible by way of a boat ramp and is stocked with panfish, largemouth bass and northern pike. WHITEWATER LAKE Covering 625 acres, Whitewater Lake is clearly the largest of the area’s lakes and is located in the Town of Whitewater. The lake is 20 feet deep at maximum depth and is stocked with panfish, largemouth bass, northern pike and walleye. This lake can be accessed through two ramps.
Community Parks STARIN PARK Starin Park dates back to 1888. It is one of the oldest recognized parks in the state and boasts the second oldest operating municipal water tower. The park, 504 W. Starin Road, provided housing for veterans during and after World War II and has hosted many celebrations and recreational events ever since. A Veterans War Memorial was erected to honor area servicemen. The Community Building, built in 1934, was rebuilt after a fire in 1998 and provides a
Whether you’re looking for a little exercise, a little solitude or even an opportunity to learn about Whitewater’s Native American culture, the Whitewater area offers parks and lakes that fit everyone’s needs.
meeting place and hosts the Seniors in the Park program. Located in the north-central portion of the city, Starin Park is adjacent to the UWWhitewater campus and offers a variety of recreational activities, including basketball, baseball, horseshoes, sledding and hiking. There is also a playground, picnic area, two open shelters and restrooms. It also features Treyton’s Field of Dreams youth baseball complex.
designed to resemble Whitewater’s historic depot. It offers restrooms, picnic areas and an adjacent parking lot.
TRIPPE LAKE PARK Trippe Lake Park was dedicated as a city park in 1958. The lake was named in honor of Dr. James and Rosepha Trippe, credited as being the founders of the city. Trippe Lake was formed as a result of a dam that was constructed to operate or power the old sawmill. Trippe Lake serves as the local “swimming hole.” Recent renovations to the park, located on the city’s southeast side at 407 S. Wisconsin St., include playground equipment, a shelter, restrooms and environmental and landscape upgrades. The park’s large hill is a popular sledding destination in the winter. An open shelter, picnic area and restrooms make this a year-round park.
BARK PARK Located at the east end of Commercial Drive, as its name suggests, this portion of the park is the only area in the city dedicated solely to dogs. It opened in 2006. A dedicated group of dog enthusiasts raised more than $25,000 for the project, and convinced many local businesses and organizations to donate their time and resources to the creation of the park. Licensing and membership fees help offset the maintenance costs.
CRAVATH LAKEFRONT In the 1990s, faced with environmental issues, the city opted to create an open space to encourage visits to the downtown area. A history that included being a dumpsite, oil tank storage, candle factory and other industrial uses are now redefined as the lakefront that hosts numerous celebrations, concerts and Park and Recreation events. It is on the north side of Cravath Lake at 341 S. Fremont St., which now hosts community events, including the annual Fourth of July celebration, Freeze Fest, Pig in the Park, Concerts in the Park and Family Fun nights. The Cravath Lakefront Center building was
MORAINE VIEW PARK Moraine View Park, established in 2000, is located adjacent to the Whitewater Technology Park in the northeast section of Whitewater at 1201 E. Innovation Drive. The park is home to soccer fields and the Community Garden.
WHITEWATER CREEK NATURE AREA Nestled between Fremont Street and Whitewater Creek, this nearly 60-acre nature area offers a picnic area, hiking and crosscountry ski trails, fishing and a wildflower planting area.
Neighborhood Parks BREWERY HILL This park, 116 W. North St., received its name from a George Streng’s brewery that had stood on the top of the hill beginning in 1859. The 7.3-acre indoor and outdoor recreation area, located along Whitewater Creek, contains Rotary Skate Park and a portion of the Whitewater Creek path. It is also adjacent to the downtown Armory that offers a gym, dance studio and workshop area. • CONTINUED ON PAGE 22

LAKES & PARKS
FROM PAGE 21
MEADOWSWEET PARK Meadowsweet Park, developed in 2002, is located in the northwest corner of Whitewater along Tratt Street. Working with the neighborhood and developer, the four acres feature native grasses and plantings that provide seasonal color and habitat for a variety of birds and other creatures.
Mini Parks
SKYWAY PARK This 4.1-acre park on the city’s far northwest side sits in the Parkcrest subdivision. Its close proximity to Gutzmer’s airport off Tratt Street gave it the moniker Skyway Park. It offers playground equipment, open space and an environmental corridor. The park is located at 1302 W. Tower Hill Pass.
FLAT IRON PARK This triangular park, 402 W. Main St., is home to the Birge Fountain, a War Memorial and park benches and serves as an appropriate entrance to the Whitewater Cultural Arts Center. Its point is at the intersection of North and Main streets. The Birge Fountain, which was designed by J.W. Fiske, was donated to the city by Julius “Jule” Birge and dedicated in 1903. The fountain is 17 feet high and 9 feet in diameter. Birge required the fountain be placed on the Little Brick School site, where he learned to read and write. The war memorial, located near the park, was erected in 1922 to recognize soldiers of all wars through 1919. In the spring of 2007, the White Memorial Building, once the city’s library, became home to the Whitewater Cultural Arts Center.
CLAY STREET NATURE PARK In 2010, an additional .79 acres was purchased by the City of Whitewater to expand this park that consists of a turtle nesting mound, fishing pier and small boat launch at 511 E. Clay St.
Archaeological Park WHITEWATER EFFIGY MOUNDS PRESERVE This collection of effigy mounds – numbering between 12 and 15 – is on the city’s far southwest side. The mounds were built between 800 A.D. and 1200 A.D., with the oldest ones being geometric shapes ranging from 60 to 300 feet. Studies suggest these mounds were a gathering place for several Midwest tribes. Sammual Prince was the first settler of Whitewater to build a log cabin in this area. Today, the 21.5-acre park, located at 288 S. Indian Mound Parkway, is a nature study area for schoolchildren learning about Whitewater’s Native American heritage. It also features a hiking trail.
BIG BRICK PARK Big Brick Park, 611 W. Center St., was acquired by the City of Whitewater in 2001 from the Whitewater Unified School District. The park inherited its name from “Big Brick” school, which was located on this site. Also known
as Union School, it served the community as a grade school from 1883 until 1928, when it burned to the ground. The basement had a short ceiling and in stoking the furnace too high, the timbers caught fire and burned down Whitewater’s first high school. Today, it offers ice skating, hockey, basketball court, a playground and picnic areas. MILL RACE PARK A chance meeting between Asaph Pratt and Dr. J. Trippe led to the raising of a mill on Whitewater Creek in 1839. It provided the settlers with their biggest needs: flour and grain products. Men from La Grange, Milton and Fort Atkinson provided labor. The Village of Whitewater grew around this mill. William Birge purchased the mill in 1853. This .6-acre park is downtown on the north side of Main Street along Whitewater Creek and offers an observation area for Cravath Lake. TURTLE MOUND PARK Located on the southwest side, this oneacre park is situated in the Mound Park Acres subdivision and contains play equipment and a picnic area. In 2008, through the help and support of the Whitewater Optimists, a shelter was added to the park located at 1602 W. Turtle Mound Circle. WALTON OAKS PARK This 2.6-acre park was dedicated in 2008 and is a natural wooded oak lot in the Park Crest subdivision.

Heart of the matter
Whitewater youth bond after being born with severe heart disorders Zach Tomomitsu BY Todd Mishler and Hunter Peters took COPY EDITOR golfing lessons together for two years and have participated with the Minneiska Water Ski Show Team most of their lives. However, the Whitewater buddies share a much more tangible bond. Both of them have undergone multiple open-heart surgeries — by the same surgeon — and continue to take daily medications and endure regular checkups and stress tests. The Whitewater High School students — Zach is a 14-year-old freshman and Hunter a 16-year-old sophomore — are patients of the Herma Heart Institute at Children’s Hospital in Milwaukee. That’s because they were born with hypoplastic heart syndrome, a defect that affected the left side of Zach’s heart and the right half of Hunter’s. But unless one knows the details of their ordeals, they likely wouldn’t notice anything different about these friends who love water skiing and other recreational activities. “Through the excellent care and treatment of the institute, these boys are living full and active lives despite their heart abnormalities,” Tammy Tomomitsu said. Zach is a prime example, running cross country and participating in FFA among his

many activities, which also include playing video games, riding go-karts and eating pizza. Still, the echocardiograms and blood draws provide a reminder of what he, his friend and their families have gone through and never lose sight of. “Hunter and I are friends because our moms started to hang out a whole bunch when they realized that Hunter and I had pretty much the same heart defect, just opposite sides,” Zach said. “We have different cardiologists that we see for checkups, but they all know each other. I like that Hunter has to do the same things I do; sometimes he even has to do them first because he is older.” And the fact that Hunter knows exactly what trials and tribulations Zach has faced, the latter knows he can confide in the
former when times get tough. “I like to talk to him because no one else that I know has to do that stuff, and it’s not always fun,” Zach said. “The doctors and nurses are pretty cool, though. I think our moms like to talk about it, too. I know my mom calls Hunter’s mom a lot about my heart stuff. “The biggest thing with my heart is I get tired a little faster then everyone else, and I get cold easier, too,” Zach added. “Sometimes Mom doesn’t want me to ski if the water or air is too cold because I can turn pretty blue and it takes forever to warm up with my circulatory system not as good as others. But it’s great to have the support of family, friends and teachers that help me.” Hunter’s mother, Shawnda, agreed wholeheartedly when it comes to her son,

who was diagnosed when she was about 6 months pregnant. “When I found out about Hunter’s condition, it was very hard, and my mother’s words to me, ones I would never forget, were that God only gives you what you can handle, and she said he knows you can handle a special child like Hunter,” Shawnda said. “Our family was amazingly supportive and still is to this day. During Hunter’s second surgery, his sister, Halee, was 1 year old and I had all my family taking care of her, giving me a break at the

hospital. I never had to worry (because) they were there for anything we needed.” Those travails have not stopped Hunter, who enjoys snowmobiling and riding his dirt bike. He started water skiing at age 5, although his mom says he was on the team before he was born. “My husband and I have skied for over 25 years with the team,” Shawnda said. “When I was 9 months pregnant, I was the ski team show director. Our whole family skis; it is a wonderful family activity. Hunter is an amazing, strong skier. My
husband and I have not held him back from anything he wants to try. “He gets worn out a lot faster then other kids and may not be able to stay caught up, but he gives it his all,” Shawnda added. “He has tried all sports he wanted to try and we are proud of him for that.” Shawnda said water skiing provides more than a recreational pastime for Hunter. “Mentally, I feel it is his out,” she said. “It’s a second family and friends that have each other’s backs if needed. I think Hunter can be himself with no peer pressure from friends. “Hunter is a hard worker in and out of school,” she added. “He is a very sensitive, special child. He cares about people and tells me he loves me every day and night.” And Shawnda said that having a comrade in arms like Zach helps Hunter, and vice versa. “Zach and Hunter have a special bond,” she said. “They get each other and get things that other friends would not get. They can be themselves around each other with no pressure. They are both special boys.” And the two families have joined Minneiska team members to raise funds for the Herma Heart Institute. One of the team’s latest efforts — it does fundraisers for different organizations every year — occurred Aug. 18 when the ski team presented a check for $1,503 from a benefit show that included monies from raffle baskets, T-shirt sales and bucket. Their philanthropic efforts and the Herma Heart Institute not only help Zach and Hunter. Three other younger Whitewater boys suffer from heart-related maladies and complications: Andrey Scherr, Jack Hartman and James Foucault. On Sept. 14, the Whitewater High School football team made Scherr an honorary captain for the game against McFarland and gave him an autographed football. The Whippets also chose to make another donation to the 11th annual Jack Hartmann Open, which raises money for the Herma Heart Center and raises awareness — about 40,000 babies are born with heart defects each year in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease SUBMITTED PHOTO Our Town Control and Prevention.
