seeds. The program will be held this Saturday May 19th at the Whitewater
Farmers Market located at True Value Hardware Store Parking lot in Whitewater.

(May 17) UWW Police
Services will once again team up with hundreds of law enforcement agencies
throughout Wisconsin for the Click It or Ticket safety belt enforcement
mobilization from May 21 to June 3rd.
The objective during the
mobilization is not to write more tickets but to save lives and reduce injuries
through voluntary compliance with Wisconsins mandatory safety belt law.
However, if voluntary compliance fails, they will enforce the law. They will
not accept excuses and you will not get a warning if you are stopped by an
officer and are not buckled.
Consistent safety belt use is the single
most effective protection against being ejected from a vehicle or thrown around
violently inside it during a crash. An estimated 237 lives were saved by safety
belt use in Wisconsin in 2007, and 100 percent safety belt use could have saved
an additional 137 lives, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

(May 17) The Whitewater
Breakfast Kiwanis Program Chair, Rollie Cooper, invited Amy Bleile, Ms.
Wheelchair Wisconsin, to be the Breakfast speaker.
Amy is a UWW graduate with Masters Degrees in
Social Work and Special Education. She currently is on the substitute lists for
Palmyra and Whitewater. Amy provided a bit of her route to Whitewater from Iowa
as she saw that UWW was #4 on the list of schools providing for the disabled.
She arrived in Whitewater never having seen the school but has found it, and,
Whitewater, friendly to the wheelchair bound, but still with a few problems.
She was a preemie at birth, with cerebral palsy and has undergone 70 surgeries
during her lifetime. Never-the-less she has participated in many sports; she
was on the men's wheelchair basketball team a few years ago, and does not shy
away from anything new. One thing she can't do right now is drive but she is
working on that. Amy recently won the crown of Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin and
will compete in Rhode Island in August in a Ms. Wheelchair America pageant.

(May 16) Banner
featuring The Banner and Jim Stewart has been stolen!
Linda Long displaying missing "Banner"
prior to placement on light pole at corner of Main and Fremont
Streets.
Only one day after the Banners were placed on the light
poles in downtown Whitewater, the banner created by students to honor Jim
Stewart and The Banner was stolen. This crime has been reported to the
Whitewater Police. Anyone with information about this crime should contact the
police department at 473-0555.
"This banner was donated, created by
students, and was to be auctioned off in September to raise funds for the
Whitewater Arts Alliance. This particular banner is a beautiful depiction of
'The Banner' online site created by Jim Stewart. We are very sad and upset that
someone has taken the banner and would like it to be returned," said Linda
Long, President of the Whitewater Arts Alliance.
Comment from WHS Art
Teacher Debbie Brigham-Schmuhl "I am asking you all to keep your eyes and ears
open for any information concerning the beautiful banner my art students and I
painted for this year's community art project. We just finished it, and it was
hung up yesterday on the corner of Main and Fremont Streets. ........This
year's theme was, " It's a Banner Year for Whitewater". We decided to honor Jim
Stewart and his work with the Whitewater Banner in our design. On one side we
painted Jim's face using Andy Warhol's style of portraiture. On the other, we
painted the Whitewaterbanner.com logo. My guess is that at least 15-20 students
had a part in this process. We're so disappointed that someone would do
this!" |

(May 14) Helping the
Helpless - Jenny & Tyler partner with local Youth Group to bring hope to a
community devastated by AIDS and HIV. On Saturday, May 19th 7-10pm, the
artistic duo Jenny & Tyler will be putting on a benefit concert to raise
funds for the CrossPointe Community Church youth group summer missions trip to
Nassau, Bahamas.
Tickets are $7 at the door and all proceeds will benefit
the missions trip. The concert will be held at
CrossPointe Community Church
, located at 445
N Warner Rd. For a map/directions
.
This
concert promises to be a dynamic night, filled with music that has been called
"prolific" and "moving." Jenny and Tyler artistically weave Christian lyrics
with folk, rock, and pop music that is sure to resonate in everyone's soul.
They just released their fourth album, titled Open Your Doors, which was #59 on
iTunes the day after its release, and promises to be just as impactful as their
first three albums.
Jenny and Tyler are not strangers to helping those
whose needs can be easily overshadowed. Earlier this year, Jenny and Tyler
recorded a cover of The Sound of Silence, which was released on iTunes, and all
the proceeds were donated to organizations that fight human trafficking. They
are dedicated to fighting for those who are helpless, and have already raised
over $2,000 for this cause. They are excited to partner with CrossPointe
Community Church to help raise funds for the youth group mission trip.
The CrossPointe Community Youth Group will be taking 12 people to
Nassau, Bahamas to help partner with Next Step Ministries to renovate the All
Saints Camp in Nassau, which provides housing and care for those facing
terminal illnesses such as AIDS and HIV. With its broken sidewalks and
worn-down cabins, it is clear to see that these people, who have been sent to
this place, away from the tourism and commerce of Nassau, are neglected and
forgotten. The camp is poorly funded, and without outside intervention, will
not be able to continue properly caring for the people who need care so
desperately.
The youth team will be spending a week helping in the
repairs on cabins, sidewalks, stairs, and creating handicap accessible
structures. They will be able to spend time encouraging the residents as well
being encouraged by the people who continue to be full of joy despite their
dismal circumstances.
The youth team needs to raise $13,200 and your
attendance at the concert will help them fulfill the call to help those who
need help the most. Tickets will be available at the door. For more information
on Jenny and Tyler . For more
information on the CrossPointe Youth Missions Trip, please

(May 14) The UWW
Theatre/Dance Department and the Whitewater Arts Alliance, with support from
the UWW College of Arts and Communication, will present a staged-reading of
Among the Squirrels by Eric Appleton at the Cultural Arts Center, 402 West Main
Street, on Saturday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, May 20 at 2 p.m.
Due to the support from the Whitewater Arts Alliance, the event

262-472-5943. This annual event is a fundraiser for the UWW Theatre/Dance
Department as they work to restore Summeround Theatre to its traditional
three-show season. There will be a silent auction one hour prior to each
performance. If you are interested in donating items or need additional
information about the event, please contact Sarah Altermatt, 262-472-5943 or
altermas@uww.edu Among the Squirrels is about an out-of-work computer geek
inspired out of sheer boredom to collect data on squirrel interactions. He
could never have guessed how his backyard observations would reveal truths
about his own, stagnant existence. Skillfully combining real life inanities
& insights, including Netflix, Goth culture, & nature shows, this play
examines the complexities of love, friendship, employment & creating
community. The staged reading will feature UW-Whitewater students: Jake Lesh,
Corey Hagen, Jennifer Samson, Alycia Ruge and Adam O'Neil with direction by Jim
Butchart.
From its premier in Chicago in the spring of 2011, Paige
Listerud, a reviewer from ChicagoTheatreBeat.com, says, "Among the Squirrels
genuinely and authentically explores the transition from wild, countercultural
delayed adolescence to taking on the fierce demands of settling down and
parenting. The play is almost a love letter to the influences of one's youth
that continue to mold one's worldview long after the stage of youth has been
passed."
While at the CAC, visitors are invited to view the artwork of
the "Visions of Wisconsin and Beyond" exhibit that showcases more than 100
paintings by Joyce Follis, Marilyn Fuerstenberg, Barbara Grant, Tom Jewell, and
Karolyn Alexander Tscharnack. |

The Whippets struck early in the Varsity match on a cross
by Amanda Halfmann to an awaiting Ally Quass. Quass then scored two goals
unassisted. Melani Martinez, on another assist by Amanda Halfmann, added to the
scoring fury. Riding the wave Ally Quass scored again as did Marisabel Valdez
extending the Whippets halftime lead to 6-0. In the second half Quass scored
her fifth and final goal on the night. Courtney Samuels had 13 saves in goal
for the Whippets.

(May 16) On Tuesday
Whippet Girls' Soccer defeated the Jefferson Eagles 3-0 in Rock Valley
Conference play. Whitewater struck early on two goals by freshman
Ally Quass. Quass's first goal was unassisted and Jasmin Fernandez assisted on
the second. The Eagles awoke after giving up two goals in the first fifteen
minutes and pressured the Whitewater defense until the close of the first half.
The play between the two teams was fairly even until another freshman, Yvanna
Strait, scored off an assist by Melani Martinez late in the second half which
sealed Jefferson's fate. "I can't say enough about how well the girls played
tonight," commented Coach Dauti. "We were down five starters but everyone rose
to the occasion. Were we perfect? No, but our passing and off-ball movement has
greatly improved since the start of the season."
Earlier in the JV
contest, shortened by lighting, the Whippets defeated Jefferson 2-0 on goals by
Tisa LeFaive and Carson Vance. The Whippets return to play on Thursday at
Clinton. (Dan McCrea) |
( May 16) Softball WHS
13 East Troy 9 The Whippets came out really hitting the ball tonight.
One disaster inning almost destroyed an otherwise very good night. After
finishing an inning where Whitewater had 8 hits and scored 9 runs the rain,
wind, and lightning really kicked up. The team ended up sitting around for over
a half hour waiting. "Between the long inning, the sitting, and the lead we
were too complacent and we didn't go back into the field ready to play. A few
walks along with a couple of errors and we let East Troy right back into the
game." commented Caoch Nelson. The girls were able to overcome this one inning
though as they followed up with 4 runs over the next two innings. After scoring
those runs the team settled back down and played well the rest of the way and
closed out the game. The Whippets finish up the conference season at Jefferson
this Thursday.

(May 13) Softball Double
Header - 1st Game WHS 2 and Edgerton 11 2nd Game WHS 5 and Edgerton
7
The Whippets did not get started well on Saturday morning.
Katie struggled the first inning and Edgerton just jumped out right away. Katie
really settled down after that, but then in the 4th the defense didn't help
making 2errors after 2 outs and Edgerton ended up scoring 3 unearned runs. The
rest of the way the team looked much better, but you can't have a bad inning,
let alone 2 against a good team. The bright spot in game one for the Whippets
was Michala Schramm's hitting as she hit 2 fantastic shots.
In game 2 a
different Whippet team came out. Edgerton had one inning and there wasn't a
thing the Whippets did wrong that inning. Edgerton didn't hit anything hard,
but they just hit a bunch of choppers through and over the infield, we played
defensively very well that inning and the whole game, they just found the
holes. The Whippets came right back and put 3 on the board, but it just wasn't
quite enough. Defensively, Sarah Reynolds made several good plays this game.
Stephanie Nelson had a couple of nice hits, along with a nice hit and sacrifice
from Tori Samuels.
Whitewater is back in action home for Senior Night
on Tuesday against the Trojans of East Troy. |
