Mayor Dean Kaufert of Neenah surprised Phil and presented him with a "Citation of Recognition" to thank him for the many ways he has given back to the city of Neenah, with his time and talents over the years. Phil is a charter member of the Neenah Community Band, which is celebrating 50 years this year! Two different bands played at the Open House; the Ambassadors played Big Band music and The Happy Wanderers, a German Polka band (of which Phil is also a charter member) entertained everyone. Both bands are off-shoots of the Neenah Community Band. Several family members talked on "How Dad/Grandpa has influenced their lives" and Phil's favorite poem was read entitled "I Am a Veteran." Phil's wife, Nancy, and family hosted this very special event. ? A fantastic time was had by all. Published in the Appleton Post-Crescent on September 11, 2016 |

He was honored here Thursday June 14th by the Daughters of the American Revolution, with a program staged at the triangle at Reaume and Hendricks avenues. The tablet unveiled today is to the memory of Captain Hendrick Aupaumut, a member of that great tribe of Algonquin Indians, his particular clan being known as the Muh-he-con-nuk originally known as the grandfather of them all. When the tribe gathered near Stockbridge, Massachusetts, they became known as the Stockbridge tribe. Captain Aupaumut was written of, by those who knew him in high esteem and General Washington mentioned him with praise on several occasions. He was born about 1757, descending as he did from a long line of chiefs noted for their sagacity and wisdom. He obtained his education and spoke several languages being sought after by the government to negotiate treaties with Indian tribes. At the closing of the ceremony the "The Star-Spangled Banner" was song. | ||||||||||
| 48 | I167513 | Babcock | Havilah A. | 8 Sep 1838 | 19 Apr 1905 | 14 Oct 2015 | Appleton Post Crescent | Those who know Havilah Babcock's life story say the 19th-century man's accomplishments with his business partners are remarkable even by today's 21st-century standards. The paper industry will honor Babcock Thursday night in its Paper Industry International Hall of Fame for his role in co-founding one of the Fox Cities' iconic businesses, Kimberly-Clark Corp., almost a century-and-a-half ago. But there's more to the story than a Neenah industrialist who worked hard with his partners to create what would eventually become a $20 billion-dollar global company. "Everyone thinks they know Kimberly-Clark, but there's an aspect no one knows," said Peter Adams, Babcock's great-grandson and last descendant remaining in Wisconsin. "They did something that was truly phenomenal in the times they lived, or in any day. It was 150 years ago, before the Green Bay Packers. They honed the idea of what it was to be a team." In 1872, Babcock and three other men - John Alfred Kimberly, Charles Clark and Frank C. Shattuck - created Kimberly, Clark & Co., which first made paper used for newspapers. "It sounds simple, but it was not. Every one of the four partners had the same say," said Adams. "They all knew everybody else's jobs. They had equal shares of the business. They even went so far as when there were community projects, like the Neenah library, they gave the exact same amount of money. They played up each other's strengths, but they had this collective identity." Clark was a strong leader, Adams said. Shattuck was a meticulous record-keeper and Kimberly had a scientific mind. Havilah Babcock, co-founder of Kimberly-Clark Corp. Havilah Babcock, co-founder of Kimberly-Clark Corp. (Photo: Courtesy of Peter Adams) Babcock was the one with charisma and salesmanship. "The thing that stands out for me was how young and progressive they were," said Susan Middleton, records analyst and lead archivist for Kimberly-Clark. "I don't think any were over the age of 35. You look at what they did as a group, and it's phenomenal. They were inexperienced men who took on something like this. "Babcock played a vital role in helping with the mills and businesses in those early years. He was successful in building those operations in the Fox Valley. He played a big role as corporate vice-president and later treasurer after Shattuck died." Babcock was also a pivotal link to the next generation of leadership, and served as mentor to Frank J. Sensenbrenner, K-C's next chief executive who helped move the company toward becoming a world leader in paper and tissue-based consumer products. A ladies' man Havilah (a Biblical name his family pronounced ha-VY-lah) Babcock was born in 1837 in Vermont and began working for his father in construction in Neenah at age 12. He had a sixth-grade education, but was an avid reader and became self-educated. He and business partner Alfred Kimberly owned a dry goods store, bank and flour mill before they created Kimberly, Clark & Co. with their partners. He sang in the church choir and led an all-female Bible study at his Presbyterian church. "He was tall and good looking, and he first established his reputation selling dress goods to women. He had a devoted following of women. He loved beauty, the arts, fashion and style," said Adams. "He also understood quality. His reputation was based entirely on the highest quality possible. The company's initial success was because of the rag content of their newsprint. It was the highest quality paper being manufactured. It was a disposable product that was almost archival quality." An American Downton Abbey Babcock's grand 1883 Queen Anne mansion at 537 E. Wisconsin Ave. in Neenah still stands as a perfectly preserved testament to his taste and love of high quality 110 years after his 1905 death. The house remains as he created it with allegorical stained glass windows, ornate woodwork, lavish furniture and oriental rugs. It has been nicknamed "An American Downton Abbey," after the TV show, because of its grandeur. Though it's not open to the public - it is still a private home where Adams lives today - it can be seen via Wisconsin Public Television's "Remarkable Homes of Wisconsin" at the 10 minute mark in http://video.wpt.org/video/2365438345/. It is also documented in the book "Wisconsin's Own: Twenty Remarkable Homes" and on Adams' 2012-2013 blog http://anamericandowntonabbey.blogspot.com/. Neenah High School students collaborated on a landmarks project with the Neenah Historical Society, and their research on the house is found at http://havilahbabcockhouse.weebly.com/. Company's early success Building was also part of the K-C company's early success. Once the four partners got into the paper business, they built or acquired seven paper mills in a little more than a decade. "Through this rapid expansion of capacity, Kimberly, Clark & Co. established the Fox River Valley as one of the leading centers of paper production in the U.S." according to Babcock's hall of fame biography. Babcock will be the third of the four K-C founders to be inducted in the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame. Kimberly and Clark were previously inducted.

| 54 | I190347 | Balck | Harry | 23 Jun 1911 | 7 Nov 1995 | 18 Jan 1976 | Appleton Post Crescent | Putterer turns scrap into furniture BY ED VAN BERKEL Post-Crescent staff writer He calls himself a "putterer" but to anyone who views the finished work of Harry Balck, 64, 1615 Riverdale Drive, he is a craftsman. Balck, an employee of Appleton Wire- An Albany International Co., makes furniture. With no formal training and without the benefit of woodworking classes, he turns out furniture which matches or surpasses anything that can be purchased in the finest furniture stores. What most people consider scrap or junk lumber, Balck turns into a work of art. He uses shipping crates, skids, pallets and tree trimmings in fashioning creations which cannot be duplicated. Balck has been interested in wood and creating things with it all his life but only in the past five or six years has he pursued the hobby in earnest. He started out with Christmas cribs and shrines but has graduated to much more elaborate items. Today, practically anything made of wood in his home and those of his four children are the results of his efforts. End tables, coffee tables, flower benches, chairs, bookcases, toy boxes, octagon tables, hutches and display cases are only a few of the many items he has turned out. Many of the items turned out by Balck are replicas of antique furniture formerly owned by his or his wife's parents. Some are patterned after pictures taken from newspapers or magazines and a good many are duplicates of items found in the most expensive furniture magazines. "One of the items came to me in a dream," said Balck as he displayed an ornamental key which graced the wall of his home. Power tools in his basement would be the envy of anyone having the slightest ability to work with wood. A drill press, lathe, handsaw, jigsaw, joiner, belt sander are only a few of the many tools which indicate a major financial investment needed to pursue his hobby. Balck estimates that he spends three or four hours per day working in his basement but his wife claims that he is underestimating. Both agree that his woodworking is limited to winter months as warm weather in spring and summer finds him busy with yard work. The craftsman has no preference for the type of wood with which to create his finished products. He has used pine, "cherry, oak, ash, apple, maple and even sumac in creating many of his masterpieces. Every piece of scrap wood is valuable to Balck and each has a character of its own. Scrap trim from the home he helped build was used to create a table with 48 pieces of wood fashioned together to form a 10-inch diameter top. His interest in making furniture probably can be traced back to his father, who did upholstery work. Balck remembers his first endeavour a small sewing cabinet for his mother. He had to borrow tools from a neighbor to fashion the piece which has since been duplicated on a much larger scale for his daughters and daughter-in-law. Many of the tools, gluing tables and supplementary items used in his craft were either designed or built by Balck to help facilitate and simplify his work. Displaying what he calls his "supply depot," he said that about 75 per cent of his basement, a goodly share of the family garage, an outdoor picnic table and a pile of logs in his back yard are loaded with materials for future use. A daughter Margie assists him with design work and another daughter, Mrs. Gary Van Marter, has the responsibility for finishing the final projects. Balck rattles off the type of woods which result in the most beautiful furniture and claims that he almost cried when he learned that a friend had cut down a black walnut tree and had the wood hauled to a dump. Shipping crates, discarded broom handles, logs, broken furniture, discarded doors or anything wooden finds a place in the Balck home. Even the smallest piece of wood may someday find itself part of a master product. Picture frames made of logs with the bark still intact surround rustic scenes while modern plaques with a bicentennial motif show the versatility of the craftsman. Once, a plastics firm asked him to build 1,500 Christmas cribs, but when his wife figured out the cost of materials, hours of labor involved and governmental red tape, she estimated that the net profit would be about $4 so the request was quickly discarded. Balck does most of his work for himself and his family and occasionally will turn out an item for a friend on special request. His basement contains stacks, boxes and even barrels of patterns he has turned out over the years and his library consists of "Popular Science" and other magazines dating back to the 1930s. Mrs. Balck complains of sawdust in air ducts, on furniture and in the carpet and the loss of her laundry room to an assortment of wood and semi finished furniture, but the pride she shows in the accomplishments of her husband belies the complaints.

He was in route from his home in Shawano to the Reunion of the 14th Wisconsin Infantry in Fond du Lac next Monday. He is the oldest veteran in the State as far as known. He is holding the Meerschaum pipe, dated 1814, which is one of his prized possessions. Indian, 102 Years Old, to Attend Reunion of Civil War Regiment Life is just one round of social events for Alexander Besaw of Shawano. Having just finished his 102nd birthday party, he now is going to Fond du Lac for the annual reunion of the 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, with which he served during the Civil War. At this reunion, which opens Monday, he will be the oldest member present, and one of the spryest. One would never guess that Besaw was 102 years old last month. He talks clearly, with a slight French accent, and makes his way without difficulty, depending only slightly upon the cane, which he carries. His sight is good, although his hearing is impaired. He says he is 102 years old and claims that his Civil War records bear out his assertion. Born at West De Pere "Lots of folks say 'He is not that old.'" He declared vehemently. "How can they tell? What do they know about how old I am?" Besaw was born in West De Pere on the banks of the Fox River, 102 years ago, and lived in that location until 22 years ago, when he moved to Shawano. He tells interestingly of early personages and incidents in this locality. The first white man he ever saw, he declares, was Cornell Dixon, who operated a sawmill on East River to turn out the timbers for the De Pere dam, but when the dam was in place it was insufficiently weighted, and following a northeast wind one night, the unfinished portion was carried upstream nearly to Little Rapids, where it broke up. "And when the timbers floated back down stream, we got our share," he confessed with a grin. He was about 12 at this time and had never owned a pair of trousers, he said, only jeans. His mother, using a needle larger than a lead pencil and tread made from vine fibers, finally turned him out a pair of trousers, but neglected to tell him how to put them on. He finally solved the riddle by typing their corners to an angle in the rail fence, climbing the fence, and jumping into them. "I' m a man now," he thought, and announced his intentions of seeking work. He went to Mr. Reid, superintendent of the sawmill, and asked, "Do you need any more men for the drive?" referring to the drive of logs. The superintendent looked him over gravely, and announced he would try him out. Valley was Haunted "He gave me a peavey made of six-inch maple, with an iron a foot long on the end," the old man relates. "I could not carry it, so I dragged it along by the small end. Then we came to a stump along side the log chute." "You stay here he told me, and when a log comes a past, give it a shove with the peavey. I waited and then the log came, I dropped the peavey onto it, the point held fast so I could not get it out, and away went the log, peavey and all." "You are no good for the drive, Mr. Reid told me, 'Go and help the cook.'" Soon young Besaw had saved enough money to buy a white linen suit for 1.50, and decided to go to a dance in Fort Howard. The trousers were too long and the coat too big, but he turned the trouser cuffs up, and tucked his coat in, and decided he was quiet a well-dressed young man. The trip to Green Bay (Fort Howard) necessitated a walk through the Ashwaubenon Creek and Valley, near where Hockers' Brickyard is now located, a locality commonly credited with being haunted. Besaw decided not to go through alone, but to wait for some other party. So he crawled into some bushes and waited. Soon two Frenchmen came along singing. Then one called to the other, "If you see a ghost yell; and if I see one I will yell." Thinking to get bast under this protection. Besaw fell into step behind them. Then the nearest Frenchman turned around and saw the white-clad figure. Frenchman See Ghost "Oh Lord, there is one now. Run!" he screamed, and he and his companion took to their heels. Besaw unaware that he was he 'ghost,' also fled, and being young soon winded the Frenchmen, the weaker of whom collapsed on the ground, praying for deliverance from the specter. So weak and terrified was he that the combined effort of his companion and Besaw were required to get him to the settlement, and the well-dressed young man did not go to the dance. Four times the young Indian accompanied Dixon to Chicago with the mail. At Fond du Lac, there was a single settler; on the site of what is now Milwaukee, Solomon Juneau had his shack of popple poles. On one trip, near where Racine stands now, Dixon was trapped by a falling tree, and Besaw had to ride to the nearest settlement help. He knew only his own tongue but by a dint of energetic chopping motions, he convinced them that they should bring axes and follow him. Dixon was free and unhurt. The route led through Sheboygan, which, pronounced in Indian, sounds like Chetaucon. At Sheboygan Falls, Besaw declares, he saw from 10,000 to 15,000 Indians housed in gathered there to spear the fish as their ascent of the river was blocked by the falls. In those days, he said one could 'walk on money,' but he had no place to spend it, and nothing to spend it for. At one time, food was so scarce that tea was $8 a pound and a 50 pound sack of flour brought $29. The only thing cheap was whiskey. It sold for 15 cent a gallon, and any store, which did not provide a barrel of it with a dipper, for the refreshment of customers, was boycotted for its failure to show this courtesy to patrons. Hale and Spry When the war broke out, Besaw joined Company F of the 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, sometimes called the 'Indian Company,' although its roster included a large portion of whites. He served throughout the war and was wounded four times. At Gettysburg, a ball pierced his stomach and lodged in his backbone. One of his prized possessions is a meerschaum pipe bearing the date 1814. He originally bought it for $7, he said, but later the shopkeeper sought to buy it back, claiming he had not known its real value. Besaw finally consented to relinquish the pipe upon return of his $7 and 36 pounds of tobacco 'to boot.' He later regained possession of it when the merchant retired from business at Antigo. |

Besnah, Chicago and North Western railway switchman fatally injured in an accident here Saturday, came to his death through the "failure of N. L. Ropp in not keeping the proper lookout," a coroner's jury decided here yesterday at the municipal building. Besnah was crushed between a car, driven by Ropp, and an engine. District Attorney Raymond P. Dohr said that Ropp's failure to keep a proper lookout did not constitute gross negligence and that no criminal action against him is contemplated. Evidence introduced at the inquest showed that Ropp was, approaching the Main street crossing from the south while Besnah was engaged in flagging traffic. Witnessed Accident : George Kramer, engineer and the only witness to see Ropp's car ac tually strike Besnah, said he thought Ropp was traveling about 30 miles an hour, and that the switchman realized his danger when the approaching car was about 10 feet away, dodging in an attempt to avoid being hit Kromer, Dan Hennessey, switch engine foreman, Ben Zwick, fireman, and Richard Helf, switchman. all riding on the engine, testifies the bell had been ringing continuously since 200 feet east of the accident. Under the questioning of Raymond P. Dohr, district attorney, it was brought out that visibility was good, the pavement dry and no obstructions which might have obscured Ropp's vision were present. Brakes Didn't Work Ropp was not at the inquest, being confined to his nome, unable to testify, his physician reported. John Haid, assistant chief of police, and Kromer, told the jury they had questioned Ropp as to how the accident happened, and he had told them his brakes did not work, and that he saw no man in front of the engine. Dohr remarked that it would appear Ropp would be unable to offer more information than this if he was present. Dr. A. M. Bachhuber, who arrived on the scene of the accident almost immediately, said Besnah came to his death from the amputation of his left leg, shock, hemorrhage and a very likely skull fracture. Besnan died shortly after he was taken to St. Elizabeth's hospital at Appleton. Page Four APPLETON POST-CRESCENT, Wednesday Evening, September 27,1939 |

He spent 77 days behind the enemy lines before being returned to the American base. A ball turret operator on the bomber, the Little Chute airman said that the failure of two motors forced the craft to fly low looking for a landing. They ran smack into a German airfield and 20-millimeter shell completed the job of landing in a hurry. All but three of the crew escaped to the hills. After 36 hours of hiding, the Americans made contact with Ugo-Slav and Italian patriots, who gave them clothes and food which enabled them to pass the Germans unmolested. It was a Udene, Italy, that the group of seven split up as the German S. S. troops knew that there were Americans in the vicinity through spies. At Trieste a German patrol encountered them but the Americans again escaped. They were contacted several different times by the German S. S. troops, but had plenty of help from the patriots, both men and women, who had no use for the Germans. After again encountering a group of 25 of the enemy on patrol the American guides were lost and Biersteker and his companions again had to take to the hills for three days, going without food and water. Finally, venturing out of hiding, the party met an elderly man who turned out to be a partisan, and contact was made with the American Intelligence operating near there. But before long another German group rounded up a number of men of military age and any found were shot on the spot. A large group of patriots captured the Germans and forced them to dig their own graves before they were shot down, the Little Chute airman recalled. Fierce Hatred He was handed a gun and asked to help liquidate the enemy. He appeard reluctant and one of the women in the party called him softie, and finished the job herself. The women had more fierce hatred than the men for the enemy and proved it many a time, he said. Later on the American group was taken to a highway where they were met by a Dec 22 2012 Family of Peter C Biersteker - continued Page 4 truck, which proved to be on of Marhall Tito's. From there they were taken to airfield and flown back to American lines. Credit for the rescue of the Americans was given to the Ugo-Slav and Italian Patriots who fought the enemy with everything they possessed. On the day the Americans landed, the partisan sut communication lines to stop reports of the American whereabout from being forwarded. The boys first escape was made by lying down in a water-filled ditch which the German marchers passed by. From then on was forced hikes of 15 hours per day to keep ahead of the S. S. troops who were constantly following them. Corporal Biersteker has been in the service two years and overseas six months. He has four battle stars, the air medal, and a unit citation, received by the 14th airforde, of which he was a member. He will report back to his base aug. 23 for reassignment. Corporal Biersteker is the youngest of five members of the family in service, including Major Nic, who is expected home within a few weeks from Europe; Sergeant Neil, stationed at Georgia with the air corps; Staff Sergeant Maurice, stationed at Lockbourne air base as an engineer; and First Lieutenant Joe, a navigator on a B-29, who still has six missions to complete out of a total of 35, before receiving his leave.

| 169 | I307678 | Blood | Katherine "Kitty Or Katie" | Miller | 4 May 1851 | 28 Dec 1874 | 31 Oct 2015 | Appleton Post Crescent | APPLETON - Kate Blood has been called an ax murderer and a witch. Regardless of details, the modern-day implications of the Appleton urban legend remain the same for those who dare visit Blood's off-the-path tombstone at Riverside Cemetery. There have been claims of an apparition. It's been said those who approach during a full moon might witness blood oozing from the face of the family stone on which her name is engraved. Judi Gault, cemetery administrator, said Blood's final resting place is among the most visited there, having been included in books on haunted locations and wild tales circulated on the Internet. "There's intrigue," she said. "There's mystique." The genesis of Blood as an urban legend is a mystery. The annals of history couldn't address claims of supernatural activity at her final resting place, though the record does speak of a woman far removed from the dark tales for which she's become known. She was the daughter of an influential settler and one of the first children born in the young community in the mid-19th Century. Frank Anderson, an Appleton musician, artist and author - and a man with zeal for early Appleton history - says Blood is a woman maligned. "I will always call her the first daughter of Appleton," Anderson said. "The people loved her, and they'd be stunned by what we're doing today." 'It's fantastical' Blood's tombstone stands a distance from the remainder of markers for Appleton's earliest residents. Finding the grave from within the cemetery requires a short walk down a sloped trail that's chained off from vehicle traffic. It's on a Fox River bluff in a wooded area that feels separate from the pristine grounds. Some approach from a trail head on the riverside portion of Peabody Park. Chad Lewis, a paranormal researcher and author from Eau Claire, couldn't pinpoint origins of the Kate Blood tales, though they first caught his attention about 20 years ago. "I love stories that are a little unusual - ghosts, the blood oozing," Lewis said. "It's a little bit different. It stands out. It's fantastical." A common story says Blood murdered her husband and children with an ax before committing suicide, though a glance at the stone is enough to debunk it. Her husband, George M. Miller, outlived her by 42 years and had married again. In another version that has been passed from generation to generation, she was murdered by her husband. Lewis said witchcraft and murder are common themes in urban legends across the country, but in another sense, the tales associated with Blood break from the mold. "Normally, there's something about the legend that rings true," Lewis said. 'She lived for others' The real Kate Blood was affectionately known in life by her nickname, Kitty. Her father arrived as a Methodist volunteer, became a prominent community member and his family was held in high regard. Kitty Blood's husband was an editor of the Appleton Post. Her father, Henry Blood, played a significant role in Appleton's founding and was among four who laid out the plots for the village and for Lawrence Institute. He built the first shanty in Appleton in 1848 and was named Grand Chute's first town chairman. He was a hands-on man and leader, whether laying out the community's grid or pulling tree stumps from what we know today as College Avenue, Anderson said. Kitty's passing was a tragic event and word spread quickly. The Appleton Post stopped the presses to include an announcement. She was just 23 when stricken with tuberculosis, and had traveled south to stay with family in a warmer climate. She soon died in Lawrence, Kansas, and her body was brought back to a grieving community by train. She left behind a 2-year-old daughter. Her full obituary - printed in the Jan. 7, 1875 edition of the Appleton Post - ran longer than many of the news stories that day. "She lived for others, and for those she loved, no sacrifice was too great which involved their happiness," it read. Her influence was such that condolences were offered in the Fond du Lac Reporter. The Post's competitor, The Appleton Crescent, offered sympathies. "In all of the endearing relations of Wife, Mother, Daughter and Friend, few will be so much missed from society here," it read. 'Blood' a likely explanation Lewis and Anderson each suggest her sanguine surname gave rise to the dark tales. Blood is a common English surname, though one that has been mostly absent from the Fox Valley since the early 20th century, Anderson said. Riverside isn't the only Wisconsin cemetery that's given rise to rumor based on the presence of a person named Blood. A legend arose from a small Portage County cemetery and the grave of Civil War veteran Calvin Blood. The stories there suggest Blood hung himself in a cemetery tree, and today blood will flow from it, Lewis said. Use of Kate Blood's maiden rather than married name on the tombstone contributes to the tales, as does the stone's tucked-away location. Anderson suggested a more reasonable explanation for the location of the grave. It was among the first at Riverside Cemetery, which was established just four years before Blood's death, and the plot suggests her importance. It's prime real estate, and in a similar fashion to Sen. Joseph McCarthy's burial place at St. Mary's Cemetery. "Both have commanding views of the Fox River," Anderson said. 'Believing is seeing' Lewis isn't one to declare a place haunted or not, encouraging the curious to determine for themselves. He's heard from those convinced the Blood grave is a supernatural site. The more common phrase: "seeing is believing." Lewis thinks there are circumstances in which "believing is seeing," or that those who arrive with expectations might be more likely to have them fulfilled. It's human nature to not let facts get in the way of a good story, and urban legends will persist as long as there are teenagers craving a scare. Anderson said the many versions of the tale represent the need of people to contribute to lore. Society prefers gossip to fact. "People are creative, and storytelling is at the root of every human," he said. "She was a wonderful girl, who's now Kate Blood, this creature - and everyone would rather go with the witch." The stories have most certainly made their rounds. Incidentally, Anderson and Susan Howe in their musical collaboration have dubbed themselves "The Kate Bloods." Blood's name this Halloween season was found frosted upon tombstone-shaped sugar cookies at a Fox Cities grocery store. The stories of Kate Blood are pervasive enough that Riverside Cemetery references the grave on its website, with a request for respect and a reminder the cemetery grounds close at sunset. Its staff abhors the thought of vandalism, but they're happy to have Kate Blood as part of their story. Gault said the cemetery is a place of mourning and reflection, but also one that speaks to Appleton from its very beginnings. The respectfully curious are always welcome, whether the draw is frightening folklore or a chance to connect with the community's past. "We know our biggest gem is our history," she said.

| 212 | I321855 | Bosveld | Rachael | 7 Nov 1983 | 26 Oct 2003 | 20 Oct 2011 | Appleton Post Crescent | She repeatedly heard the story about Department of Veterans Affairs payments falling short of medical bills for wounded soldiers. The Grand Chute woman hopes an event Saturday in Kaukauna bearing her daughter's name will help with some of those expenses and support local vets. "The government pays for certain things, but then there's a gap for soldiers when they come home," Bosveld said. "We're also doing it to honor and respect all who serve in the military." The Rachel Bosveld Fallen Soldiers Memory Walk at 1000 Islands Environmental Center in Kaukauna will host a walking route past several "memory sites." Organizers hope families will post pictures and reminders of service members before the walk begins. Mary Bosveld said she would like the event to become an annual tradition supporting a new fund through the Community Benefit Tree, a Kaukauna-based nonprofit providing funds for medical expenses. Some of the proceeds also will go to a music and art scholarship in Oshkosh and the preliminary planning of a Women's Fox Valley Memorial Park, honoring female veterans. At the age of 19, Rachel Bosveld was the first female service member from Wisconsin to be killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and also the first female to be killed in action in Iraq in 2003. She grew up in Oshkosh until shortly before enlisting when she moved to Waupun. "We'll have an art display with some of Rachel's oil pieces, a statue and some pottery," Bosveld said. "It's a family event to help educate folks about the military, and it's about cherishing life." Heidi Frederickson, Community Benefit Tree executive director, said the event will feature members of the American Legion and National Guard. "At 12:30, we'll have a ceremony for Gold Star families along with a gun salute and taps," Frederickson said. Bosveld said she hopes the walk will take on a positive tone and reach out to living military members and their families, as well as honor those who have died. "So many times when people have fundraisers, it's a sad thing. I want it to be a happy, family event because we're celebrating their life," she said. "The funerals are done — let's celebrate what they did in their lifetime. Each person that lost their life, or puts it on the line, is unique and special." |

Dennis McCann Askeaton - Every other time I had driven right on by. Not this time. Maybe it was the afterglow of Irish Fest, or maybe it was that I wasn't exactly headed anywhere, so why not stop to check out the sign that read "Askeaton - Irish Country."And I was not misled. The first farm on Hill Road was a Finnegan's, and there were shamrocks on the front of Holland Town Hall. Halfway up Hill Road was St. Pat's Church Road, and up St. Pat's Church Road was St. Patrick 's Catholic Church itself, its steeple stretching toward heaven. And across the road, as I had suspected, was a cemetery filled with Burnses and Brennans, Meehans and Shannons, even a cluster of Clancys. It was Irish country, all right, and has been for more than 150 years. That much I could read with my own eyes, if nothing else from the 1856 on the cemetery sign and the names on the stones. But behind those obvious clues was a larger story of immigrant America and pioneer Wisconsin, a story filled out in a history of Askeaton I borrowed from Father Al Geisler ("like the potato chip") when he emerged from his rectory to mail a letter and found me in the parish bone yard.Askeaton (originally called East Holland) was still covered with virgin timber when the first Irish settlers arrived in the early 1850s, refugees of the devastating potato famine. Some were from Askeaton, in County Limerick, and so the name was resurrected in the new world. Soon land was cleared for farms, a small log school was built and also a small log church to house the growing congregation of Irish Catholics. Of course it was called St. Patrick's. As the community continued to grow, it became evident that a larger church was needed, so funds were sought and plans drawn. The basement was dug by parishioners with teams of horses and scrapers and in November of 1908 the current St. Patrick's Church, which still has 250 members, was blessed and dedicated.Today there is little other than the church and scattered farms to suggest Askeaton was once a thriving little place. Its mailing address is actually Greenleaf. But there was a time baseball followed 8 o'clock Mass, and there were cheese factories, a depot, post office and both parochial and public schools just a hundred-yard dash from each other in the shadow of the church's steeple.The separate schools share a neat historical footnote. For some years, Franciscan nuns taught the area's first and second grades at the parochial school, and also taught third through eighth grades at the public school, a blurring of church and state boundaries that ended under a frown from Madison in 1953. And the day there were not enough nuns for St. Patrick 's school, either, said John F. Hart in his story of Askeaton, "was a sad day indeed, and it took a number of years to get over the shock."The real fun of reading Hart's account was not so much the official story of Askeaton as the unofficial stories of its residents. Thomas Brick, a prosperous farmer with 12 children, was noted for playing nice sweet music on his violin. Patrick Clancy danced the jig and played violin in the church choir. Thomas Hart had an orchestra that played for dances, Michael Kelly ran Kelly's Saloon and none other than one Patrick Hart became the first priest-son of St. Patrick's Church. Askeaton was once a place where loose pigs on the highway could be confiscated, where widowed ladies were given $20 in aid from taxpayers and music mattered."The Irish didn't need much of an excuse for a house party," Hart wrote. " If they would run short of an anniversary, they would make one up! I went to a few of these parties as a boy. One night there was a party at Thomas Brick Sr.'s and I watched 'Long' Maurice Summers do the 'Irish Clog .' It fascinated me so that from that night on I tried to imitate him."None of that, of course, was in evidence the day I stopped by. Askeaton was country quiet, as it always is, said Father Geisler, except on Sunday mornings or for parish picnics. But I'm glad I read Hart's account of what once was to lend context to the names on the stones. I like cemeteries, but it's nice to know a place once had life, too.Contact Dennis McCann at (414) 224-2528, e-mail him at dmccann@onwis.com or write him at Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Box 371, Milwaukee, WI 5320 1. |

| 302 | I20837 | Brunner | Evely L. | Leis | 27 Dec 1913 | 8 Oct 1999 | Re Murder | Shooting suspects in custody By ED HOSKIN Of the Tribune staff TUNNEL CITY, Wis. -- Two suspects in a double-homicide shooting are expected to appear in Monroe County Circuit Court on Monday. The bodies of a mother and son from rural Tunnel City were found Friday morning. The suspects were arrested later in the day in Berlin, Wis. Saturday, police named the victims as Evelyn L. Leis, 85, and William D. Leis, 51, of 10094 Elk Road, in the town of La Grange. Preliminary autopsy results show they each were shot several times. The suspects are Jimmy L. Grimes, 18, and a 16-year-old male, both of Berlin, Wis. The 16year-old can't be named because he is a juvenile, although this would change if he were waived to adult court, authorities said. Monroe County Sheriff Dale Trowbridge confirmed Saturday that the deaths were being treated as a double homicide. There was probably a total of nine or ten shots,'' Trowbridge said. A school bus driver found William Leis' body on the side of a road, about 50 feet from the end of the Leis driveway. His mother's body was found in the farmhouse, where they both lived. Berlin police officers arrested the suspects about nine hours later, after Monroe County authorities had asked for the help of surrounding agencies in finding a black Ford Mustang seen near Tunnel City in the days before the shootings. Police had a license plate number because of an earli er traffic stop that had been made in Monroe County, Police Sgt. Jason Westpfahl said. Trowbridge said both suspects were brought to the Coulee Region. Grimes is being held at the Monroe County Jail, and the 16-year-old is being held at a juvenile detention center in La Crosse. One of the men had been interviewed as of Saturday afternoon, but because Trowbridge wasn't present at the interview, he didn't know if the suspect had been cooperative. We're still investigating,'' Trowbridge said. We' re going to try and work through the night. We're trying to process evidence and re-interview people.'' There was still no word Saturday on a possible motive. Westpfahl had said Friday he didn't know if anything was taken from the farmhouse. Not to my knowledge, but we're not sure either way,'' he said. Evelyn Leis, the mother of six children, was born and raised in Norwalk, Wis., said one of her daughters, Alice Hill. A longtime member of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Tomah, Wis., Evelyn Leis was an independent lady who loved gardening and fishing. Her husband died six years ago. William Leis was a veteran of the Vietnam War who never married, Hill said. He was vice president of a power company called Uninterruptible Power Products. He was quiet,'' Hill said. He kept himself to himself somewhat, but he was a very likable person. He had no children, but he loved children, and was loved by children.'' Hill said the circumstances of her mother's and brother 's deaths are much harder to bear than if they had been killed in a car accident, for example. This was a malicious act to two innocent, loving, caring people,'' Hill said. There are a lot of whys. I hope we get those answers soon.'' Bus driver relives day he found body By JOEL HANNAHS Of the Tribune staff SPARTA, Wis. -- With Halloween only a few weeks awa y, Tomah School District bus driver Jeff Hill at first thought what he saw lying alongside the road on the morning of Oct. 8, 1999, might be a scarecrow. Since he had children on the bus, he decided to park the vehicle some distance away and walk to where the figure lay face-down and with one shoe missing, he said. The man's head was bloodstained, Hill testified at the Monroe County Courthouse Tuesday. His legs were together, his feet were extended, his hands were underneath his chest and he was face down,'' Hill said. I would say two-thirds of his body was in the road.'' He had found the body of 51-year-old William D. Leis. When State Patrol Inspector Jim Vieth arrived -- expecting to see a bus accident because Hill had been careful about what he said in the children's presence while making the emergency call -- he determined Leis had been dead for some time. Later that morning, he and another officer entered the house at 10094 Elk Road in La Grange and found the body of 81-year-old Evelyn L. Leis in the bathroom. They knew immediately that she was a homicide victim, Vieth said. Both people had been shot. Jimmy L. Grimes, 18, of Berlin, Wis., accused of committing the slayings with 17-year-old Daniel F. Cerney, listened to the testimony of nine witnesses on the second day of his trial on two counts of first degree intentional homicide and other charges. The Marathon County jury is sequestered in a Sparta hotel, and the trial's opening arguments were heard Monday in Wausau. Testimony will continue today in Sparta. Cerney has already been tried and convicted of the same crimes. In a motion hearing before the day's testimony, Assistant District Attorney Elisabeth Andrews Mueller noted that defense attorney Timothy Gaskell of Westby, in his opening arguments, outlined a strategy of blaming Cerney, which is interesting, because Dan (Cerney) blamed everything on Jimmy (Grimes) during his trial.'' Gaskell reinforced that strategy with his brief cross-examination of Monroe County Detective Eric Matson. Under questioning from a prosecutor, Matson described dozens of items found in the Oct. 8 search of Grimes' residence. But Gaskell's questioning pointed out that Cerney's high school identification card also was found there. When officers entered the Berlin residence, they found garbage, cans, bottles, pizza boxes and bullet holes in the walls, but not a single item of furniture, Matson said. There were televisions, a videocassette recorder and a black plastic bag containing several rifles and knives. Prosecutors Mueller and state assistant attorney Judy Schultz called several neighbors to testify that they saw a black Ford Mustang being driven near the Leis' home Oct. 6 and 7. The car matches the description of one Grimes drives, authorities said. PPP Every half-hour, 40 minutes, I saw it driving by,'' said neighbor Greg Von Haden. The car was distinctive enough that, at one point, he saw the partial plate number 255 and remembered it, reporting it to officers after the deaths were discovered. Gary Von Haden testified that he saw the black car in the driveway of the Leis residence about 4 p.m., and another neighbor, Perry Lamb, said he also saw the car backing down the hill near the driveway and turning around. That was about 4:15 p.m ., he said. Debbie Abbott, who raised Grimes from age 2 for his birth mother -- her sister -- but never adopted him, testified that he arrived at her home, about five miles from the crime scene, between 4: 30 and 4:45 p.m. Grimes told her he was not feeling well and was going to his Berlin residence, she said. At the Elk Road scene, officers collected seven .22 caliber casings from the roadway and later found a .357 caliber handgun in the nearby cornfield, officers testified. Burglary plot supported in testimony at Grimes trial By JOEL HANNAHS Of the Tribune staff SPARTA, Wis. -- The day before William and Evelyn Leis were killed, Jimmy Grimes had spent the day driving the neighborhood with three girls plotting a burglary, one of the girls testified Wednesday. Two acquaintances who said they plotted thefts with Grimes, now 19, testified Wednesday at his double homicide trial at the Monroe County Courthouse. Former co-defendant Daniel Cerney, now 17, was convicted in May for the crime. On Oct. 6, 1999, Crystal Lancaster had only known Grimes for a few weeks, but was hanging out at his place in Berlin, Wis ., as a runaway and had ridden with him in his black Ford Mustang to the Tomah area. She said that he talked about the home of someone he had worked for as a burglary target, and the group ended up driving by the house about 10 times that day, confirming testimony from neighbors earlier in the trial. At one point, Grimes pointed a gun out the window and said he had perfect aim.'' The group convinced Lancaster to approach the house and try to get a ride into town, while the others could hang back and burglarize the place after the owner was gone. She testified that she went to the house and pretended to use the phone but did not ask for a ride. When she got back to the Mustang, she told the others she had followed the plan, but the woman would not give her a ride. Grimes, with an accomplice, is accused of returning to the house at 10094 Elk Road in La Grange the next day and slaying 51 -year-old William Leis and his 85-year-old mother, Evelyn, early Oct. 8. Justin Lenski, now in a military-styled juvenile program for his admitted role in an attempted robbery of a fast food restaurant, testified Grimes did most of the planning for that failed robbery. A group of four teens had parked and three of them walked across a field wearing ski masks or nylon over their faces, but were thwarted when the woman closed up for the night a few minutes before they got there. They had brought duct tape with the intent of tying her up, because they thought there would be $26,000 available at the restaurant. Cerney talked Lenski out of going along when the pair went to Tomah, but Lenski said he saw Cerney carrying a rifle wrapped in a black leather jacket. They were gone about three or four hours, and when they returned Cerney was excited and Grimes was quiet, he said. Oh, my God, I just shot two people,'' Cerney said, according to Lenski's testimony. Later, he amended it: I mean me and Jimmy just shot two people. I hope we don't get caught.'' Attorneys questioned Lenski repeatedly about those words because his statements have not always included all of that phrasing. Lenski also testified that he overheard Grimes say some thing about burning bloody clothes, but under cross-examination said he had never mentioned that to officers or in the Cerney trial . Lenski and Lancaster both testified that they saw the pair bringing in several guns out of the trunk after getting back Oc t. 8. Lenski, who ended every phrase with ma'am'' or sir,'' also saw them bring in a bag of apples. Lancaster testified that on O ct. 6, after being thwarted in the initial plan to burglarize the Leis residence, the group of Grimes, Lancaster and two other girls entered two other houses in the rural area, stealing a TV, about $100, change and knives. In other testimony, David Larsen of the Wisconsin Department of Criminal Investigation testified that at least one of the shots that struck William Leis was from no further away than five feet. His body was found partially on the roadway, and all of the nearby shell casings were from a semiautomatic .22-caliber rifle that matched one seized from Cerney's home. Analysis of the actual bullet fragments is also consistent with the gun, but not conclusive, he said. All of the casings found inside the house, near where the body of Evelyn Leis was found huddled on the bathroom floor, matched the bolt-action .22-caliber rifle that was seized. Through the testimony of Gerald Kotajarvi, latent fingerprint examiner for the DCI, prosecutors introduced dozens of photographs of the crime scene, and jurors looked them over one-by-one while the courtroom fell silent for nearly 30 minutes Wednesday morning. Grimes showed no emotion as photos of Evelyn's blood stained body were held up for jurors to see. Kotajarvi testified that part of the bathroom door latch had been broken off and was found lying on the bathroom floor near her body . Jurors were actively interested and passed in questions for several of the witnesses: Could William's body have been lying on any cartridge shells before he was moved? Kotajarvi was unsure; Was anyone at the Berlin residence drinking or using drugs that day? Lenski said they were not; Did Cerney live with Grimes? No; How long were the pair gone? About three to four hours; How many people typically hung out at the Berlin place? Often 13 or 14; Were there footprints in the cornfield where a handgun was found? No; Did any of the doors in which Leis kept some guns lock? No, said Kotajarvi. Published on Wednesday, June 28, 2000 Grimes guilty on 14 counts, including homicide By JOEL HANNAHS / Of the Tribune staff SPARTA, Wis. -- Jimmy Lee Grimes looked at the jury as the judge read verdicts finding him guilty of murder, but his face remained as impassive as it had throughout the seven-day trial. But in the back row of the courtroom, the woman who raised him as her child from the age of 2 wiped tears from her eyes while her husband placed his arm around her shoulders. Grimes, now 19, will be sentenced within 30 days on 14 criminal counts, but the date of the hearing has not been set. The jury returned guilty verdicts on all four counts of homicide, but two counts of conspiracy to commit first-degree homicide were dismissed after the verdict because they are redundant to the two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. In all, Grimes faced 21 counts covering accusations from Sept 30 to Oct. 8, 1999. Defense attorney Timothy Gaskell of West by spent the early part of his closing argument dealing with some of those charges, and the jury returned innocent verdicts on five counts: three of soliciting a child to commit a felony and two of armed burglary. Grimes, with an accomplice, was charged with shooting his mentor, 51-year-old William Leis, and his 85-year-old mother, Evelyn Leis, at their home at 10094 Elk Road, La Grange. Their bodies were found the morning of Oct. 8, and Grimes and Daniel F. Cerney were arrested that day in Berlin, Wis. Cerney, now 17, was convicted in May and will be sentenced Friday at the Monroe County Courthouse. He testified for the prosecution in Grimes' trial. Unlike Cerney, Grimes never said a word in his defense, and never gave a statement to officers. Gaskell called just one witness to point out Cerney's involvement with a gang, but relied on cross examination and his closing argument to sway the jury. The case went to the jury at about 3:20 p.m. Tuesday, and the panel, brought in from Marathon County due to pre-trial publicity, took about 5 hours and 40 minutes to consider 42 options on 21 counts. They notified Judge Michael McAlpine that they had reached a verdict about 8:55 p.m., only moments before he planned to check with them to see when they wished to quit for the night. In addition to the homicide charges, Grimes was found guilty of three counts of soliciting a minor to commit a felony, one count of robbery, one of theft of a firearm, and several counts of burglary. In closing for the prosecution, Monroe County Assistant District Attorney Elisabeth Andrews-Mueller took the jury chronologically through the days that led up to the killings, portraying Grimes as desperate for money, with a $25,900 debt still outstanding on his black Ford Mustang. She noted that as Grimes and his friends plotted an attempted robbery on a fast-food restaurant in Tomah Sept. 30, the amount they expected to find was $26,000. She reminded the jury of an Oct. 5 theft of a gun used in the attack and, the next day, how Grimes and the others planned to burglarize the Leis residence even as they broke into two neighbors' houses. The prosecution's theory is that Grimes stole a second gun from the Leis barn Oct. 7, when his car was seen parked in the farm's driveway that afternoon. William Leis was shot nine times, but only seven of the bullets were found. One shot that went through his body and was not found could have been fired from the bolt-action .22 that Grimes carried, Andrews-Mueller said. That gun was the more powerful of the two, according to trial testimony. Seven of the shots came from a semi-automatic. She stressed the reliability of the juvenile witnesses, pointing out that the crime scene and testimony by officers bolstered much of their testimony. Juveniles testified a pistol had been thrown into a cornfield, glass had been broken out on the Leis' home and the guns had been hidden in Grimes' basement. If Grimes had no intent or plan to kill the Leises, Andrews-Mueller said, why did he and companion Daniel Cerney go to the house at all when they could have just stolen guns from the barn? Why did they go to the residence at night, when they knew the Leises would be home? Why did they bring guns, why did they load the guns, why did all their friends think they were going to kill someone? These aren't accidents,'' Andrews-Mueller said. These are intentional, deliberate acts against people who did nothing but try to help this kid. She recalled a statement by Cerney, who testified against Grimes after being convicted in the killings in May, that the plan was to lure William Leis out, shoot him and then kill Leis' mother. That's the only statement that's consistent with all the physical evidence,'' Andrews-Mueller said. She called Grimes the main reason'' why the Leises are no longer alive. But defense attorney Gaskell countered by offering the jury several theories on what could have happened on the night of the slayings, including one in which Cerney was mainly responsible. Gaskell contended the pair had no plan or intent to kill the Leises, pointing to statements the two made to friends when they returned from Tomah that something had gone wrong.'' That statement indicates they never planned to kill, only to rob, he said. He argued it was Cerney who shot William Leis after Grimes lured him out of the house. Both then went to the back of the home, but it was again Cerney who shot through the window, striking Evelyn Leis before she reached the bathroom. Grimes then reached through the window and entered, to get the money, Gaskell said. He attacked Cerney's credibility on the witness stand and the credibility of the main juvenile witness, saying the girl tried to make Cerney look better because they were friends. He recalled statements about Cerney's involvement with a gang, and testimony that Cerney had told others, Oh my God, I just killed two people, I hope I don't get caught. Dan Cerney's been convicted,'' Gaskell said. Ladies and gentlemen, they've already convicted the right guy. In her rebuttal, Andrews-Mueller dismissed Gaskell's theory as a crazy story'' that, even if true, would still make Grimes guilty of aiding and abetting in the killings. Don't let him get out of this,'' she told the jurors. He's responsible. Teen gets life for murders By JOEL HANNAHS Of the Tribune staff SPARTA, Wis. -- Daniel F. Cerney will be 62 years old before parole officials can consider whether he should have a second chance at freedom. The Berlin, Wis., teen was sentenced Friday in Monroe County Court to two concurrent life sentences for his role in the Oct. 8 murders of William Leis, 51, and his 85-year-old mother, Evelyn Leis. It makes him eligible for parole after 45 years. It's probably one of the most vicious crimes this court has seen,'' Monroe County Judge Steven L. Abbott said. Cerney, now 17, and Jimmy Lee Grimes, now 19, lured William Leis from his rural Tomah house by telling him that Grime s' car had broken down. They shot Leis nine times, according to trial testimony, then Grimes broke into the house and shot Evelyn Leis in the bathroom as she tried to call the police. Abbott said he decided to grant Cerney the possibility of parole because he believed Grimes was the instigator. But he stressed that Cerney not only had the option not to commit the crime, but could have stopped Grimes by simply not accompanying him. Grimes had shown an unwillingness to commit crimes alone. |

The question has arrisen as to whether he is entitIed to the full amount of pension given to an officer who has served twenty years as a patrolman. Until a few months ago, Carroll was night watchman, having gone on as a regular at the recent reorganization ofthe force. The matter will be decided în a couple of days." 09/18/1914, Appleton Evening Crescent: Size of Pensions Still Unsettled. If Carroll îs Retired Is He Entitled to $40 or $l7.50 A month, Is question. What pension will Po1iceman Dennis Carroll draw when he retired is a question which has to be solved before he leaves the force, As yet no definite date for his retirement has been set, that no doubt depending on the pension decision amved at. Under the laws after a person has served as a policeman for twenty years he may retire on half pay. Up to the tîme of the re-organization of the force about six months ago Carroll was a merchant police, being paid $35 a month by the cîty and the balance by the merchants. The power the chief had over him was limited. He could not be ordered out of a certain down town district even in an emergency. Since he has been a member of the regular force, doing patro1 duty under the chief's orders, he has received $60 a month hom the city. Now the question which arises is as to whether he is entitled to $30 or $17.50 a month pension. To go on the pension list one must have been a member of the force for twenty years. Carro1l was first appointed twenty-eight years ago, but the question arises as to whether he is entitled to the full pension inasmuch as most of that time he has been on the force his police duties were limited and he was not under the full jurisdiction of the chief, or whether having been a member of the force for over twenty years he is entitled to the salary he is now drawing. In the railway service the pension is based on the average yearly salary the pensioner drew while he was in the road's employ. In the army an officer's retired pay is based on that which he was drawing when retired. |

Mr. Carroll, who is 67 years old, has just recovered hom a two month illness but his health does not permit him to continue in the work to which he devoted more than haIf of his life. He is one of the best known men of Appleton and carries with him into retirement the good wishes of the many men and firms he has served. He is making his home with his daughter, Miss Genevieve Carroll, who is a teacher in the Fourth ward kindergarten. Mrs. Carroll died only a few months ago. Mr. Carroll would have completed thirty-five years as a police officer if he had remained on duty until April 13. The first two and one half years of his service on the force were spent as a patrolman with assignment to any beat. He was then given the position of merchant police with the special duty of guarding the downtown business section, a position he held until his retirement from the city po1ice force on a pension four years ago. Since that time he has been a deputy sheriff and special night watchman, his territory included five blocks on College Avenue. He was paid from a fund established by merchants and bankers whose property he guarded against burglaries. While he was a member of the police force part of his salary was paid by these same men. The story of Mr. Carroll's connection with the police force is the storu of Appleton's development and of the changes made by the time. Only nine ofthe firms and institutions on College Avenue when Mr. Carroll took up his work 34 years ago are still in existence. They are A, Galpin Sons, then hnown as Galpin Brothers; C.F. Smith; David Brettschneider; Rossmeissl Shoe Company; First National Bank; Pettibone Peabody Company; K.F. Kel1er and Sons; Schalfer, Barrett and Tesch, now two firms, and the Post Publishing Company. Mr. Carroll figured in several interesting arrests in his 34 years but only once was he injured in a fight with thugs. This one injury was received seven or eight years ago in a fight with three would be burglars back of the Pettibone-Peabody store. Mr. Carroll had two of the men under his control when he was struck on the head by the third thug." Came up from Behind. A11 three were later captured and hauled into court, Fearless Officer. In his younger days Mr. Carroll was one ofthe most fearless men on the police force. His friends assert he was afraid of nothing and was willing and able to tackle a regment of "hard guys." Even in his older days he experienced no quakings of fear when he investigated mysterious disturbances in the darkest p1aces in the city's business district. Retirement of Mr. Carroll places the entire burden ofthe protecîon of the downtown district on members of the regular police deparment. Mr. Carroll asserted when he resigned his position Wednesday night that his greatest regret was that he could not continue indefinitely in the service of the men who had treated him with every consideration in the performance of his duties. | |||||||||||

| 341 | I73874 | Cerro | Samuel Bernard | 12 Dec 1925 | 31 Aug 1994 | 4 Nov 1985 | Legal Trouble | 775 F.2d 908 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. SAMUEL B. CERRO, Defendant-Appellant UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT No. 85-1112 September 19, 1985, Argued - November 4, 1985 Lead opinion by POSNER 909 POSNER, Circuit Judge. A jury convicted Samuel Cerro of five counts of conspiracy to distribute cocaine and three counts of filing false income tax returns. The judge gave him concurrent 15-year sentences on the first three conspiracy counts and consecutive 15-year sentences on the fourth and fifth conspiracy counts, for a total of 45 years. (Sentences of 3 years on each of the tax counts were made concurrent with the conspiracy sentences.) Cerro had also been charged with being a drug "kingpin," see 21 U.S.C. § 848, a charge that allows the most severe punishment possible under current federal law -- life in prison without possibility of parole, see 21 U.S.C. §§ 848(a), (c), but this charge was dropped before trial on the authority of a dictum in United States. v. Jefferson, 714 F.2d 689, 702 n. 27 (7th Cir. 1983), that a drug conspiracy is not one of the felonies on which conviction of being a kingpin can be based, see 21 U.S.C. § 848(b)(1). The dictum was rejected in 910 United States v. Young, 745 F.2d 733, 750-52 (2d Cir. 1984). See also United States v. Schuster, 769 F.2d 337, 345 (6th Cir. 1985), and cases cited there. Its validity was left open in our recent decision in United States v. Markowski, 772 F.2d 358, 361 n. 1 (7th Cir. 1985), and need not be decided in this case either; the government did not appeal the dismissal of the kingpin count, as it could have done under 18 U.S.C. § 3731. The principal issue raised by Cerro's appeal is whether the five conspiracies were indeed separate or were instead aspects of a single conspiracy; if the latter, the maximum sentence (apart from the tax counts) is 15 years and Cerro must be resentenced. Each of the alleged conspiracies was between Cerro and one other person, to whom Cerro consigned ("fronted") up to one ounce of cocaine each week for resale to users of cocaine. Each dealer would remit all or part of his retail sales revenues to Cerro, either retaining some of the revenues as compensation for his services or retaining some of the cocaine in lieu of money compensation. The five dealers were the principal witnesses against Cerro, testifying under grants of immunity. In Count I the dealer was Amato, and the evidence showed that the conspiracy ran from April 1980 to December 1980. The dealer and dates for the other conspiracies were as follows. Count II: Corti, summer or fall of 1978 to November 1980; Count III: Gaulke, March 1977 to the spring of 1979; Count IV: Schnidt, August 31, 1977 to December 8, 1980; Count V: Phillips, fall of 1979 to spring of 1981. Why the district judge imposed concurrent sentences for the first three conspiracies and consecutive ones for the last two is unclear. The fifth conspiracy did end later than the others, but the fourth (August 1977 to December 1980) fell within the overall span of the first three (March 1977 to December 1980). There was no evidence that any of the dealers knew that Cerro was selling cocaine through other dealers, beyond what might be inferred from the nature and timing of the conspiracies and the facts that all the transactions took place in Madison, Wisconsin, that Amato and Gaulke were brothers-in-law, that Corti "fronted" cocaine to Amato as well as selling cocaine at retail for Cerro, and that Phillips knew that Corti sold cocaine, though there is no indication that he knew that Cerro was Corti's supplier. More often it is the government that is arguing for a single overarching conspiracy and the defendant for multiple conspiracies, the most recent examples in this court being United States v. Andrus, 775 F.2d 825, slip op. at 20-21 (7th Cir. 1985), and United States v. Towers, 775 F.2d 184, slip op. at 8-9 (7th Cir. 1985). The reasons, in descending order of importance, are that the statements made by a conspirator are admissible against all coconspirators, that multiple conspiracies involving different parties can raise serious problems of misjoinder under Rule 8(b) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedures, see United States v. Velasquez, 772 F.2d 1348, 1352-53 (7th Cir. 1985), and that if a defendant is acquitted on one count of conspiracy and his convictions on other counts are reversed because of an error at the trial, retrial on those counts will be barred on the ground of double jeopardy if they actually charge the same offense as the one of which the defendant was acquitted. Although it might seem that the government would want to charge multiple conspiracies in the hope that the defendant(s) would receive heavier sentences, this is rarely the case. The indictment of a major drug distributor will usually contain multiple substantive counts, for which consecutive sentences can be imposed, as well as conspiracy counts. And consecutive sentences for a substantive drug offense and a conspiracy to commit such an offense are also permissible, see, e.g., United States v. Wylie, 625 F.2d 1371, 1381-82 (9th Cir. 1980); United States v. Cardi, 519 F.2d 309, 315 (7th Cir. 1975); United States v. Espinosa, 771 F.2d 1382, 1402-03 n. 27 (10th Cir. 1985), though infrequent, see Marcus, Conspiracy: 911 The Criminal Agreement in Theory and in Practice, 65 Geo. L.J. 925, 938 (1977). By a fluke, none of the disadvantages of multiple conspiracies to the government is present here (there is no misjoinder problem because there is only one defendant, so that Rule 8(a), which is more liberal than 8(b), see United States v. Velasquez, supra, 772 F.2d at 1352-53, applies). And since the government unaccountably failed to charge any substantive drug offenses and the "kingpin" count was dismissed, the only possibility for imposing a very long prison term on the defendant was to prove multiple conspiracies. Whether this should be important when the defendant is 59 years old and in exceedingly poor health is not for us to say. A conspiracy is an agreement; and to be a party to an agreement you must know something of its general scope and objective though not necessarily its details. See id. at 1351; Blumenthal v. United States, 332 U.S. 539, 557, (1947); United States v. Williams, 737 F.2d 594, 614 (7th Cir. 1984); United States v. Andolschek, 142 F.2d 503, 507 (2d Cir. 1944) (L. Hand, J.); cf. Raffles v. Wichelhaus, 2 Hurl. & C. 906, 159 Eng. Rep. 375 (Ex. 1864); Smith v. North Am. Co. for Life & Health Ins., 775 F.2d 777, slip op. at 5 (7th Cir. 1985). You must, of course, at the very least know there is an agreement. So for any of Cerro's dealers to be a party to an overarching conspiracy to distribute cocaine through more than one dealer, the dealer would have to know that Cerro was selling through other dealers. See, e.g., Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 755, (1946); United States v. Elam, 678 F.2d 1234, 1245-47 (5th Cir. 1982); United States v. Barnes, 604 F.2d 121, 155 (2d Cir. 1979); United States v. Borelli, 336 F.2d 376, 383 n. 2 (2d Cir. 1964) (Friendly, J.). The cases sometimes say must know (Borelli, Elam, many others), less frequently must have reason to know (e.g., Barnes). Taken literally the latter formulation would imply something very curious indeed, that a conviction can be upheld without proof beyond a reasonable doubt of an element of the crime (knowledge of the conspiracy). But it should not be taken literally. Although usually in the law to say that someone has "reason to know" something means that he would be negligent in not knowing it, in the present context it means only that knowledge can be inferred from circumstantial evidence. If the facts indicate that the defendant must have known something (the formulation in Borelli), then a jury may be able to find beyond a reasonable doubt that he did know it, especially since the requirement of knowledge is satisfied by proof that the defendant willfully shut his eyes for fear of what he might see if he opened them, United States v. Josefik, 753 F.2d 585, 589 (7th Cir. 1985). This interpretation of "reason to know" is supported by the full text of the passage in the case from which Barnes got the phrase: "if each [defendant retailer] knew, or had reason to know, that other retailers were involved with the Hernandez organization in a broad project for the smuggling, distribution and retail sale of narcotics, and had reason to believe that their own benefits derived from the operation were probably dependent upon the success of the entire venture, the jury could find that each had, in effect, agreed to participate in the over-all scheme." United States v. Baxter, 492 F.2d 150, 158 (9th Cir. 1973) (emphasis added). But the jury would have to find participation beyond a reasonable doubt. A jury could have found that Cerro's dealers knew there were other dealers if for example Cerro had told the dealers this, if other dealers had told them, if they had observed cocaine dealings between Cerro and other dealers, or if they had seen Cerro with a quantity of cocaine too large to be distributed through one dealer. See, e.g., Blumenthal v. United States, supra, 332 U.S. at 549-59; Note, Federal Treatment of Multiple Conspiracies, 57 Colum. L. Rev. 387, 388-89 (1957). Considering that the dealers had a common 912 supplier, that most of the conspiracies overlapped in time, sometimes by years, that the conspiracies had the same purpose and one common participant, and that Cerro apparently made no effort to insulate any dealer from knowledge of the others, it is highly likely that the dealers did know they were part of a conspiracy involving other dealers. Nevertheless there is no direct evidence of this, nor evidence from which such knowledge could be inferred with the degree of certitude required for a criminal conviction. Even if the relationship among Amato, Corti, and Gaulke could be thought to warrant an inference that they knew of each other's involvement in Cerro's distribution of cocaine -- a proposition doubtful on its face but supported by language in some of the cases cited in the Columbia Law Review Note, supra, at 388 n. 12 -- these were the dealers involved in the first three conspiracy counts, and Cerro received concurrent sentences on those counts. The only link forged between those dealers and Schnidt and Phillips, the dealers involved in the other two counts, was Phillips' testimony that he knew that Corti was a cocaine dealer, and he did not testify that he knew that Corti was a dealer for Cerro. The failure to prove a single conspiracy is not surprising. It was no part of the government's purpose to show an overarching conspiracy -- quite the contrary -- or to show that the prosecution witnesses were members of such a conspiracy. And while Cerro might have wanted to establish a single conspiracy in order to put a cap on his sentence if he was convicted, he would not have improved his chances for acquittal by exploring the extent of the witnesses' knowledge of each other's dealings on his behalf. Testimony of their knowledge would have strengthened the case against him; testimony of their lack of knowledge would not have weakened it. But lack of proof that the dealers knew about each other need not be decisive on the question whether Cerro could be punished for multiple conspiracies. It is never right to try to answer a legal question, such as (in this case) whether there was one conspiracy or five conspiracies, without considering the purpose of the question. The purpose here is to decide whether Cerro was given an illegal sentence. For other purposes it would be clear that there were multiple conspiracies. It would be clear for example if any of the dealers had been charged with participating in an overarching conspiracy and the issue was whether the dealer could be convicted; lack of proof of a dealer's knowledge of a conspiracy broader than his own dealings with Cerro would doom any attempt to make such a charge stick. If on the other hand Cerro had been charged with being the hub of a single conspiracy embracing all five dealers, proof of the dealers' knowledge, though no doubt easy to come by if the government had wanted to explore that knowledge, might conceivably not have been necessary. Suppose, as has become familiar from the literature on espionage, revolution, and terrorism, that the leading members of a clandestine organization seek to minimize the chances of detection by adopting a system of "cut-outs" under which subordinate members know nothing about their superiors, their coordinate members, conceivably even the objects of the organization. See, e.g., Copeland, Without Cloak or Dagger: The Truth About the New Espionage 111-12, 140 (1974); Seth, Anatomy of Spying 97 (1963). It might be possible to argue that the leaders' ability to conduct their operations through completely insulated cells, thereby making those operations more rather than less effective, should not protect the leaders from charges of participation in one large conspiracy rather than a series of petty two-man conspiracies, with all the obstacles to effective prosecution in the run of cases that multiple-conspiracy charges create; that the "hub" of an illegal enterprise can be guilty of conspiracy even if the "spokes" do not have a common rim. Otherwise there is the paradox that "a central figure will be guilty of one conspiracy or of many, depending entirely upon whether he informed each individual with whom he plotted of the others' existence." 913 Developments in the Law, Criminal Conspiracy, 72 Harv. L. Rev. 920, 928 (1959). Whether the objection that a conspiracy of many requires a multiplicity of knowing conspirators could be surmounted is fortunately not an issue we need decide in this case. Maybe it will never have to be decided. In the type of case we have put each spoke is bound to know, in fact, that he is "participating in a collective venture" of some sort, United States v. Martino, 664 F.2d 860, 876 (2d Cir. 1981), though the government didn't bother to prove that here. It will be rare for none of the spokes to know even the general character of the venture. And one possible solution to the problem of cut-outs (though limited to drug cases), if there really is a problem, is the "kingpin" statute, cited earlier. True, it requires that the kingpin's substantive violations have been committed "in concert with five or more other persons with respect to whom [the kingpin] occupies a position of organizer, a supervisory position, or any other position of management," 21 U.S.C. § 848(b)(2)(A); and the Supreme Court hinted strongly in Jeffers v. United States, 432 U.S. 137, 147-50, (1977), that the words "in concert" imply an agreement. But this requirement might conceivably be satisfied by proof of a separate agreement between the kingpin and each of his underlings. Cf. United States v. Becton, 751 F.2d 250, 254-55 (8th Cir. 1984); United States v. Dickey, 736 F.2d 571, 587 (10th Cir. 1984); United States v. Phillips, 664 F.2d 971, 1012-13 (5th Cir. 1981). In this case, where the only issue is length of sentence and no one suggests that the defendant was attempting to minimize his fellow conspirators' knowledge of the larger conspiracy, the argument against finding multiple conspiracies is compelling. The government cannot, just by choosing to prove less than it could easily have proved by asking its own witnesses another question -- namely, whether each of the dealers realized he was not alone -- get a defendant punished more severely; cannot, simply by not proving a single conspiracy, obtain punishment more severe than if it had proved one; cannot shift, to a defendant fearful of more severe punishment, the burden of proving how much his coconspirators knew about the conspiracy. The balance of advantages in a conspiracy case is adequately in the prosecutor's favor without his being allowed to gain a sentencing bonus by atomizing a single venture. Maybe for purposes of trial the government can charge as many conspiracies as it wants unless the effect is to confuse the jury. But we do not think the government can get the judge to pile on consecutive sentences by arbitrarily, as in this case, declining to present minimum evidence of what is pretty apparent without evidence, that there really was one conspiracy. The issue has arisen more commonly when the government, rather than charging multiple conspiracies in the same case (for, as we have said, the government's interests are ordinarily best served by charging a single overarching conspiracy), reindicts a defendant acquitted (or convicted) on another conspiracy charge, and the defendant argues that the conspiracies are one and the same for purposes of double jeopardy. Courts in such cases do not ask just whether the evidence required to establish the defendant's guilt is the same in both cases; that would encourage the prosecution to withhold some of its evidence in the first case. They also ask whether the "conspiracy has been subdivided arbitrarily, resulting in multiple indictments for a single illegal agreement." United States v. Castro, 629 F.2d 456, 461 (7th Cir. 1980); see also United States v. Sinito, 723 F.2d 1250, 1256 (6th Cir. 1983); United States v. Papa, 533 F.2d 815, 820 (2d Cir. 1976). The inference of arbitrary subdivision is particularly strong in this case and persuades us that the government should not be allowed to obtain a sentencing advantage from having failed at trial to explore the dealers' knowledge of the scope of the conspiracy in which each was involved. Contrary to its usual position in conspiracy cases, the government argues, however, 914 that it could not have charged a single conspiracy, because the dealings between Cerro and each dealer were not "mutually dependent." Many cases do say that mutual dependence must be shown for a course of dealings to be a single conspiracy. See, e.g., United States v. Percival, 756 F.2d 600, 607 (7th Cir. 1985); United States v. Dickey, supra, 736 F.2d at 582; United States v. Abushi, 682 F.2d 1289, 1295 (9th Cir. 1982); United States v. Bertolotti, 529 F.2d 149, 154 (2d Cir. 1975). But as the government well knows, this language is not taken literally. If it were, single conspiracies could not be charged in most cases (which are extraordinarily common) where a wholesaler of illegal drugs deals through more than one dealer, no matter how much each dealer knew about the scope of the operation. As is true of wholesale distribution generally, the viability of wholesale drug trafficking does not depend on the adherence of any single dealer. Lop off one dealer, and the wholesaler can hire another in his place or shift the dealer's allotment of drugs to one or more of his remaining dealers or simply reduce the scale of the drug operation. The dealers are not dependent on each other as a bank robber is dependent on the driver of the getaway car and vice versa. Just as Exxon would not go out of business if it lost one of its retail dealers, so a substantial drug operation would not go out of business because one of its retail dealers left the business. The expression "mutual dependence" can be taken literally only in cases (and not all of them, either) where the conspirators are different links in the chain of distribution. If the conspiracy is to distribute imported drugs and the sole importer defects, an essential link has been severed. But when the conspirators (all but one) sell in parallel, each is a strand rather than a link, and normally an inessential one; yet conspiracies of this sort are prosecuted all the time, and successfully, too. You can be part of a common enterprise without being indispensable to that enterprise; and a common enterprise for illegal ends is a conspiracy whose inessential as well as essential members are conspirators. "Mutual support" would be a more accurate description of the cases, which require at most that the various arrangements and transactions alleged to constitute or manifest a single conspiracy contribute to the success of the overall undertaking and in that sense reinforce each other. At any rate, by choosing not to inquire into the dealers' knowledge of Cerro's operation, the government is barred from obtaining a sentencing advantage, since as we have said the facts show that Cerro was the hub of a conspiracy the "spokes" of which probably knew of each other's existence, and which was no more effective or dangerous a conspiracy if, contrary to all the probabilities, they in fact were in the dark and thought, each one, that he was Cerro's only dealer. The only other question that requires discussion (Cerro's other grounds of appeal being plainly without merit) is whether his conviction should be reversed because the district court improperly curtailed his efforts to impeach the credibility of the dealers, the principal witnesses against him. The pretrial order in this case, which apparently is used routinely by this district judge in criminal cases, requires written notice before the final pretrial conference if either counsel intends to try to present at trial evidence of, among other things, "prior similar acts or any person ([Fed. R. Evid.] 404(b))." Cerro's counsel did not object to the order and did not give the required notice, and at trial the judge forbade him to present some of the evidence regarding the prior crimes of the witnesses with which he hoped to impeach them. The two most important items of evidence that were excluded were that witness Gaulke's insurance-brokerage license had been revoked for fraud and that witness Corti was an extortionist. Although the district judge must know better than we what his pretrial order means, we find it very hard to understand how it could be read to require that defense counsel give the prosecution written 915 notice of the evidence with which it hopes to undermine the jury's belief in the truth of the testimony of the prosecution witnesses (and thus Cerro's counsel cannot be faulted for having failed to object to the order when it was entered). Rule 404(b), which provides that evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts illuminating a person's character is not admissible in order to prove that he acted in conformity with that character (but allows it to be admitted for other purposes), applies to evidence in chief, not to impeachment evidence. This is apparent from a comparison with Rules 608 and 609, which deal specifically with using evidence of character and of prior crimes to impeach witnesses. See also the Advisory Committee's Note to Rule 608(a). Whatever the pretrial order means, there is a serious question whether a district judge is empowered to require discovery of impeachment evidence. Pretrial discovery of federal criminal defendants is regulated in detail by Rules 12.1, 12.2, and 16 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, and nothing in any of them suggests that impeachment evidence is discoverable. Rule 16(b)(1)(A) limits compelled disclosure of defense documents to those "which the defendant intends to introduce as evidence in chief at the trial." Rule 16(d), on which the government relies here, regulates the manner rather than objects of discovery from a criminal defendant and is thus irrelevant to our issue. Whether the provision for pretrial conferences made by Rule 17.1 is intended to override the limitation in Rule 16(b)(1)(A) is most doubtful. Nothing in the language or history of the rule suggests that it is, an omission not surprising when we consider that a defendant's interest in being able to conduct a vigorous and effective cross-examination -- an interest central to the right of a criminal defendant under the Sixth Amendment "to be confronted with the witnesses against him," see, e.g., Davis v. Alaska, 415 U.S. 308, 315-16, (1974) -- would be impaired if he had to give a precis of his cross-examination to the prosecution before trial. The effect of the pretrial order, as interpreted by the district judge, is to make the defendant do just that, whenever he plans to use evidence to buttress his cross-examination -- as often he will. For not only does effective cross-examination require that counsel be prepared to prove the falsity of replies to questions intended to undermine the witness's credibility, but independent evidence is usually a more fertile source of impeachment in cross-examination than replies to questions. See McCormick on Evidence 66 and n. 3 (Cleary 3d ed. 1984). But any error here was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Keeping the revocation of Gaulke's broker's license from the jury could do little harm to the defendant. Given Gaulke's own testimony that he had stolen funds from his employer to pay for cocaine that he bought from Cerro, evidence that his insurance broker's license had been revoked would have been anticlimactic and its exclusion was surely harmless. And similarly with Corti. Evidence that he was an extortionist was excluded, it is true, but Corti admitted having committed perjury (though he said it had been done under duress), and perjury is more relevant to credibility than extortion would be. And remember that the whole premise of Gaulke's and Corti's testimony, as of the testimony of the other three dealers, was that they had sold cocaine illegally. Thus it is not as if the jury could have thought that Gaulke and Corti were anything but what they were: crooks singing for their freedom. Finally, the evidence of Cerro's guilt would have been overwhelming even if Gaulke and Corti had been thoroughly discredited by a mountain of evidence of their prior crimes -- especially once the three conspiracies are recharacterized as one, as we have held they must be. It is always perilous to speculate on what the effect of evidence improperly admitted was on a jury, or what the effect of evidence improperly excluded would have been. See Teitelbaum, Sutton-Barbere & Johnson, Evaluating the Prejudicial Effect of Evidence: Can Judges Identify the Impact of Improper Evidence 916 on Juries?, 1983 Wis. L. Rev. 1147. The lay mind evaluates evidence differently from the legal mind, and while many appellate judges have substantial experience with juries and perhaps great insight into the thinking process of juries, others do not. This is a reason to be wary about invoking the doctrine of harmless error (on which see, e.g., United States v. Hasting, 461 U.S. 499, 507-12, (1983); 3 LaFave & Israel, Criminal Procedure § 26.6, at pp. 278-81 (1984)) with regard to evidentiary rulings in jury cases. Most cases of harmless error involve the erroneous admission of evidence favorable to the prosecution. As a practical matter, if the evidence of guilt that was neither erroneously admitted nor tainted by the erroneously admitted evidence is overpowering, and the tainted evidence neither probative nor inflammatory (inflammatory evidence might overbear the judgment of a lay trier of fact), so that the appellate court can safely conclude that the likelihood that the defendant would have been acquitted is very small -- too small to warrant the delays and other costs entailed by ordering a new trial -- the error will be pronounced harmless (harmless beyond a reasonable doubt, if the appellate court is strongly convinced of its conclusion). Despite some contrary language in Davis v. Alaska, supra, 415 U.S. at 318, the doctrine of harmless error is available not only when the error consists of erroneously admitting evidence but also when it consists of excluding defense evidence in violation of the defendant's constitutional right to confront the witnesses against him. See, e.g., United States ex rel. Nance v. Fairman, 707 F.2d 936, 941-43 (7th Cir. 1983); United States ex rel. Scarpelli v. George, 687 F.2d 1012, 1016 (7th Cir. 1982), and the very full discussion of this issue by Judge Rubin in Carrillo v. Perkins, 723 F.2d 1165, 1170-72 (5th Cir. 1984). The test cannot be identical for the two types of error, however, and this for two reasons. First, the fact that improperly excluded evidence was inflammatory, in the sense of likely to distract and confuse the jury, would hardly be an argument against finding the error harmless; what would be, however, would be that the evidence was of the sort that might properly have carried great weight with the jury, even though the evidence put in by the prosecution was very strong. Second, there is an asymmetry between the prosecutor's being allowed to put in more evidence of guilt than he should have and the defendant's being prevented from putting on a defense. If the defendant were utterly precluded from defending himself, it would be clear that his conviction had to be reversed even if the evidence of guilt was overwhelming and could not have been offset by the evidence that the defendant would have introduced if allowed to do so. The Constitution assures the criminal defendant who wants it of some minimum amount of adversary procedure even if the outcome of the contest is a foregone conclusion. Otherwise the right to trial by jury could be denied on the ground that the outcome of the trial was foreordained and therefore the trial would be a waste of money. See Walberg v. Israel, 766 F.2d 1071, 1074 (7th Cir. 1985). But we are far from that extreme point in this case. Cerro's defense was impeded, probably improperly, but the impediment was a minor one; the error in keeping from the jury impeachment evidence of a marginal and cumulative nature must be deemed harmless beyond a reasonable doubt in a case such as this where the evidence of guilt was overwhelming and the defendant was allowed to put on a defense, if not quite so complete a defense as he might reasonably have desired. Cases in which error in the curtailment of a criminal defendant's right of effective cross-examination was found not harmless, such as Hoover v. Maryland, 714 F.2d 301, 306-07 (4th Cir. 1983), and United States v. Bates, 617 F.2d 585, 588 (10th Cir. 1980), are readily distinguishable. So Cerro's convictions must stand, along with the sentences for the tax offenses. But the case must be returned for resentencing 917 on the conspiracy counts in accordance with our conclusion that the defendant cannot be given consecutive sentences on those counts.

| 409 | I7206 | Coonen | James Louis | 18 Jun 1869 | 1 Jun 1958 | Abt Jun 1986 | Kaukauna Times | The following is an excerpt from an article written by Lester P. Coonen a nd published in the Kaukauna Times in June 1986. In our very small town of Dundas, transportation was hardly taken for gran ted a half century ago. School and church were remote; both were in a neig hboring town. There were twelve children in our family, and a varie ty of transportation challenges. In retrospect, each of our vehicles wa s, in its own way a jewel.We had a Dolson, the first auto in our town, but we didn't use it on Sunda ys because of its threat to our business. (My dad and Uncle George) h ad a general merchandise and farm implement store.) Buggy horses wou ld be frightened and farmers were scornful of the puffing, smoking gadge t. In fact, some buggy- riding farmers refused to share the road if they w ere approached from the rear. The Dolson was our weekday, business car, d riven proudly by Uncle George.For a long time Frank was our sole Sunday transportation. Frank was our ho rse, our OAT-A-MOBILE. He endured up through my mid-teen years. Three gas hes in the fur of his right flank told of his bronco heritage. That roman tic ancestry, however, was not otherwise evident in his appearance. He lo oked old, decrepit and hangdog. Since he refused a checkrein, which wou ld have forced his head high and proud, he drooped his loose-lipped bla ck head and shaggy-maned neck very low, as though he were perpetually look ing for whatever he might find in the dust of a country road. A crackof t he whip was good for only a half-minute acceleration, after which he resum ed his lazy sleep-walking trot. A piece of paper on the roadside, howeve r, momentarily whisked along by the wind, would startle him and transfo rm him suddenly into a fiery western steed, dancing laterally, and snorti ng into high gear. But only very briefly.Bales of hay went into Frank - energy of a sort - and garden fertilizer ca me out. He was important, and he seemed to know it. That made him at on ce our friend and our enemy. Several times, when we needed his hoof-pow er to take us to church, the barn door was found open and, instead of Fran k, a blank. We would devise new guards for the stable door lock. It beca me a game of wits: horse against man. He would fit his aging teeth in to or behind the mechanism of the lock, open it and trot away. He wasn't m ean or spiteful in this I think just a lover of freedom, and grass.We sold buggies, and whips and blankets and harnesses in our implement bus iness. |

Mr. Coonen, known as Pa to nearly half of the Dundas residen ts was the Proprietor of the General Store. Jim sold groceries, feed f or your animals, coal for the furnace, clothing, and hardware. His fami ly of 7 boys and 5 girls were active in the area. The boys all partici¬pa ted in the business, acting as sales agents and roofing agents. In 195 3, as Pa was 84 years old, the store was sold at auction on July24th.To give you an idea of the size of the home place, the property in¬clud ed a 9 room flat upstairs, a 10 room house, a 24'x60' frame building, a 15 x15' frame garage, 15x60' coal shed, a 16x27' feed shed a 18x24' storage s hed and a 20x30' barn. All this was on a one acre of land at the side of t he railroad tracks. A truck scale was located at the back of the store. Y ou did not have any prob¬lem finding a beer in Dundas with a bar on eith er side of the Coonen General Store. Dundas is not a large populated plac e, but a small crossroads. Back in the early part of the century, its' pop ulation was primarily Coonen. | ||||||||||

| 470 | I129 | Culligan | Mary Ann | Solie | 25 Dec 1920 | 12 Jun 2016 | 20 Aug 2007 | Mercury News - Patty Fisher | Newspaper article; Fisher: One woman, two hands, many smiles By Patty Fisher Mercury News Article Launched: 08/20/2007 01:33:53 AM PDT Mary Solie is a knitting machine. She spends several hours each day on the "knitting couch" in her sunny Palo Alto living room, turning out multicolored afghans, the kind you want to curl up in to watch TV or wrap around a sleeping child. Solie, who's 86 and has been knitting since she was a girl, went into afghan production decades ago. She has made afghans for her three children, her five grandchildren and her three great grandchildren. She has made them for friends and neighbors. In 1993, when everyone she knew had all the afghans they could possibly use, she started knitting them for the patients at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, and then for the families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House at Stanford while their children are in the hospital. So far, she has donated more than 700 afghans, including a few in red, white and blue made specially for firefighters after Sept. 11. "I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have my knitting," she said. "Go out of my mind, I guess." I stopped by to see Solie last week, after a friend of hers told me about the afghan operation. I had to meet this woman, who has given so much of her time and talent to so many people. She had just delivered a load of 10 afghans to Ronald McDonald House, so she didn't have very many on hand. But she showed me a green one, in a pattern of alternating squares of knit and purl stitches, that she had made several years ago for her late husband, Allen. "In the evening, he'd sit with his crossword puzzles and I'd knit," she said. "It was so relaxing." Cheery stripes I asked her to show me a work in progress, so she sat down on her knitting couch, not to be confused with her "reading couch" across the room. She picked up a half-finished blanket in cheery lavender and yellow stripes. It takes Solie about 10 days and two pounds of yarn - $12 worth - to make an afghan. She knits for a couple of hours in the morning after breakfast, in the evening when she's watching TV and in the middle of the day "when I'm avoiding the things I should be doing." Her granddaughter has been after her to knit sweaters, but she prefers to stick to afghans, which don't require that much concentration. "You don't have to count stitches," she said, as her graceful fingers turned out row after perfect row. The only tricky part is making the stripes. She showed me how she ties the two different colors of yarn together and then weaves the loose ends back into the row so they don't show. Gifts for families Pat Tamaras at Ronald McDonald House said Solie's afghans make great gifts for families who stay at the house, especially those with babies. "We accept them graciously," Tamaras said. "In fact, we have a whole closet full of them." When I told Solie that Ronald McDonald House had a stockpile of her afghans, she looked troubled. "I must be giving them too many," she said. Does that mean it's time to cut back on production? Hardly. "I think I just need to find a new place to donate them," she said to me. "Do you have any suggestions?" I thought about the homeless shelters I've visited over the years, the group homes and battered women's shelters. I could imagine how delighted a homeless mother would be to wrap her child in one of Solie's lovely afghans. So I called Kristin Chandler at InnVision, which runs the Opportunity Center in Palo Alto and an emergency shelter for families in Menlo Park. She said she'd be more than happy to take Solie's excess inventory. "The families who come to us have very little of their own, so we welcome donations," she said. "Afghans are always special - especially if they are handmade." |

Innovator: John De Bruin Appleton fabricator finds success in both product prototypes and BMX parts By Maureen Wallenfang • Post-Crescent staff writer • July 20, 2009 Q How many companies do you have? A I have two. I started Richmond Technologies in 2001. I started my BMX company, Trick Bike Co., in 2007. Everybody refers to it by the primary brand, Hutch Hi-Performance BMX. Q Prior to all of this, what were you doing? A I'm originally from Appleton and went to NWTC for industrial prototyping. I went into CNC machining of early product development and prototyping. Large companies that typically design their own products will create data or prints of new concepts and then we're the first ones who make a physical prototype that they can test. Q What kinds of things? A Mostly medical, consumer, technology and industrial products. After graduating in 1990, I went to Minneapolis, which is a hotbed of product development, especially medical. There was a big boom in technology that the machine shops saw at that time. They were using PCs and software combining with machine tool technology. I was right at the beginning of all of this. At the time, there were no instructions on using the software. You had to figure it all out. After eight years in Minneapolis, I took a job in California working directly for Surfcam, one of the largest CAD/CAM software companies in the world. The three years I spent there was part of the tech boom era. My job was to support the product. I had flown all over the world for them. We supported many high-profile customers such as NASA and most of the Winston Cup race teams. Q Why did you leave that? A In my last six months, they allowed me to telecommute, so I moved back to Appleton. I said I'd rather live back here because of the cost of living. During those months, I was starting to go on my own, buying equipment and machines. I could see the writing on the wall. When the tech bubble burst, I was laid off, but it was the right time. I was going back to hands-on making of the prototypes rather than working in software. It's what I did best and enjoyed most. Q What kinds of things are you making here? A The work is all highly confidential. It could be a cell phone or a coffeemaker. It could be a medical device. Generally, it's a part of a larger assembly, so I may not always know what it is. (2 of 2) Q Are the customers still there? Advertisement A I haven't cold-called for customers since 2001. Once my customers find me, they are generally repeat customers. I have a small, loyal base. My goal is to provide my customers with accountability, high confidentially, accuracy and most importantly is speed. I turn my quotes within 24 hours. Many times, I complete a job and have it in the customer's hands before other shops even get around to quoting. Certainly, business has slowed down somewhat in this field because of the economy. I actually saw that a year and a half before the rest of the public because I'm so early on product development. The good news is that I'm starting to see that come back. Q You also have the BMX business. You bought the rights to the Hutch name? A It was the largest of many large companies in the golden years of BMX, from 1980 to 1985. They made a very high-quality product using materials that were unheard of at the time, like titanium and magnesium. As the bicycle industry changed in the late '80s and went overseas, they went out of business. We're seeing a resurgence in the popularity of BMX because BMX racing was in the Olympics in China. I raced as a kid from 1983 to 1987, from age 13 to 17, and decided to try to track down and acquire the ownership and trademark rights to the brand I was most passionate about, which was Hutch. Q Do you sell bicycles? A I sell bicycle components. Some I make in my machine shops and some I outsource to other machine shops. Original vintage Hutch pedals were $70 to $90 back in the early '80s. It's not uncommon for those vintage pedals to sell for $500 to $900 a set today. I make and sell Hutch pedals that are almost identical in likeness but are about $190. They're very, very popular items. I'm also doing a re-issue of Hutch cranks. The vintage cranks are $2,200 to $3000. I'll have re-issues for $500 to $600 a set. I have people lined up asking me, "When can I buy?" from all over the world. They're very popular in the U.S., Australia, Europe and Asia. Q Which of your businesses is bigger? A Right now, the BMX side. The economy hasn't impacted the bicycle segment in general very hard. People are trying to drive their cars less and they're riding their bikes more. There are a lot of guys just like me in their 30s and 40s who have young kids and they want them to experience BMX racing. Working with BMX is the closest thing I know to the fountain of youth. Innovator Insights Family of inventors "When you have a dad who built a submarine from scratch, you learn anything can be done. You just have to focus your passions." Licensing venture "A toy company approached me about licensing the style of the Hutch bikes and logo for toys called finger bikes. I've been working with them over the past year. They're being shipped right now to Wal-Mart, Toys R Us and Target world wide." Measuring success "I measure it by each individual success, shipping a job that a customer is happy about or creating bicycle components that are as good or better than Hutch made back in the day."

He became acting mayor in September 1995 after Nancy Nusbaum was elected Brown County executive, serving until her term expired in 1996. De Cleene retired from public office after that, but he continued to serve his community for more than a decade as an American Red Cross bus driver, Meals on Wheels volunteer and secretary of the De Pere Men's Club, among several activities. "He was all about making life easier for someone else," De Pere's Larry De Cleene, one of Vic's seven children, told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "He delivered Meals on Wheels to people 20 years his junior." He received the Silver Knight Award from St. Norbert College in 1994 and initiated the Multiple Sclerosis Walk in Brown County in 1995 in honor of his daughter Vicki. |

| 509 | I42180 | DeGroot | Donald | 2 Aug 1937 | 15 May 2015 | Little chute Windmill Opening LITTLE CHUTE - It's a symbol of Dutch settlers and ancestors, representing the customs and traditions they established along the Fox River's northern bank. Little Chute's windmill, though, speaks deeper than history. It tells just as rich of a story about the contemporary village, its fierce pride and the power of a community to accomplish big things when all eyes are focused on a goal. "It was time, effort, money and blood, sweat and tears," said Jay Van Stiphout, executive director of the nonprofit Little Chute Windmill Inc. "It was amazing to see how when people come together, through their collaborative effort, a dream can become a reality." Residents will gather Saturday for a long-awaited celebration, as the Little Chute Windmill hosts its grand opening. Tours of the windmill at 130 W. Main St. will begin at 8 a.m. It's not as if visitors would need a street address. The 110-foot structure, which comes with a price tag of $3.5 million, dominates the village landscape. The journey to today's grand opening started nearly two decades ago with some "What if?" wondering. Don DeGroot, a member of the windmill board and its former president, has been with the project from the beginning. The first talk of a windmill project surfaced in the mid-1990s, and soon after the village incorporated a windmill into its logo. At that point, dreams weren't quite as big as the landmark that greets visitors today. They talked of a smaller replica that would serve as a welcome sign. Ideas grew, and deepened, after a 2000 trip to Holland by village leaders. "What if?" slowly became "Why not?" A nonprofit committee began fund-raising work in 2003. It was by no means smooth sailing, The recession years slowed efforts as "pockets closed a little bit," DeGroot said. Leaders didn't become discouraged. Though the grand opening came later than expected, it has arrived. "People are proud of their Dutch heritage, and we want to pass it on for future generations," DeGroot said. "I think that's what's made it successful." The windmill itself cost about $800,000. The $3.5 million overall cost includes its base, visitors center and land acquisitions. "We raised all the money without taxes," DeGroot said. The windmill was built from an 1850s design from the North Brabant province in the Netherlands. It's authentic beyond its specifications, having been built by fourth-generation millwright Lucas Verbij of Verbij Windmill Design & Construction in the Netherlands. It was built in the Netherlands and assembled here. The adjoining Van Asten Visitor Center will be operated by the Little Chute Historical Society and feature exhibits about Dutch settlement in the region. The historical society will maintain a historical archive in the center, which will keep the stories of its families readily accessible - whether they're Dutch or not. Virgie Janssen, president of the historical society, said the windmill speaks not only to a community that takes pride in its heritage but wants to share it. "A lot of people worked hard to put it together, and hopefully it fulfills its purpose to bring people to see what Little Chute is all about," she said. Saturday's festivities also will celebrate the completed remodeling and expansion of Little Chute's village hall, which will have an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. The windmill is fully paid for, though fund-raising efforts continue to help meet operational costs. Village Administrator James Fenlon said the grand opening celebration is a testament to community dedication. "I'm blown away on a daily basis by the dedication of our citizens," he said. - Jim Collar: 920-993-1000, ext. 216, or jcollar@postcrescent.com; on Twitter @JimCollar If you go What: Little Chute Windmill grand opening Where: 130 W.

Utter 'Nunsense' University Theatre ending its season with a humor habit By Mary Ann Holley Sheboygan Press staff Anyone who is Catholic, has ever been Catholic or knows a Catholic, m ay as well just surrender to the laughter as University of Wisconsin-Shebo ygan University Theatre presents "Nunsense," the musical comedy that satir izes convent life with an anything-goes sense of fun. This madcap review opens Thursday, April 24, at the university's Fine Ar ts Theatre - converted to an eighth-grade classroom and home to Mount S t. Helen's Catholic school. "It is the cutest damn thing. It's a lot of fun, and it's big entertainmen t," said director Chuck Krebs. "What's funny is I grew up Catholic - we nt to St. Mary's School my whole life. This stuff gets bred into you. A nd I must say, Sister Patrice wrapped a ruler over my knuckles once or twi ce." "Nunsense," takes a comical look at the Little Sisters of Hoboken - a cad re of nuns who go virtually unnoticed until one day Sister Julia (Chi ld of God) unwittingly serves tainted vichyssoise and 52 of the sisters d ie of botulism. Even worse, those who survived had only enough cash to bu ry 48 of the dearly departed - the other four are in the freezer. "Nunsense" becomes a benefit concert staged by the Little Sisters to rai se money for their proper burial. "It's hilariously funny, but we see their tender hearts under their starch ed habits," Krebs said. "They are beautiful women underneath it all - nu ns you may recognize." Characters like Sister Mary Amnesia, the Saint Andrews sisters and a long- lost nun who won the Publisher's Clearinghouse Sweepstakes, poke a b it of fun at reverence, singing and tap dancing to tunes like "Tackle Th at Temptation with a Time-Step," and "Just a Coupl'a Nuns." The five women who makeup the cast are seasoned actors in community theate r, Krebs said. The Reverend Mother, played by Jean Deltgen Enking - a wom an Krebs calls the "grand dame" of community theater - performs with her d aughter, Di Sciarra. The two say they believe they're the only "only mothe r-daughter 'sister act' in town." Krebs said his personal stretch for the show was to take on the job of cho reographer as well as his traditional director role. "I worked with (choreographer) Kristine (Foerster) so much, and watched h er thinking, and thought I ought to try this," Krebs said. "So I felt I ne eded to be over-prepared. I'm dancing around in my living room listeni ng to the music and it was like the choreography choreographed itself." There are only five women in the show, along with four guys who play in t he band, dressed like monks of course. "So we've got the brothers in the band and the Little Sisters of Hoboken ," Krebs said. Krebs said when spend your childhood at St. Mary's School, you say a l ot of Hail Marys, so to get the cast in the spirit of it all, every day be fore rehearsal they pray. "Remember how the nuns used to dole out Hail Marys when you did somethi ng wrong?" Krebs asked. "I thought the nuns were like the state troope rs of God, and I wanted the cast to understand it all. There are so many p ieces of Catholicism woven into it - both from reverend level and comicall y." Paul Sucherman is doing the music, and because of his extensive experien ce in the Sheboygan County music scene, Krebs said the theater has gain ed a wonderful pool of musicians to draw from. "We've built up a good relationship with some wonderful musicians," Kre bs said. "They like us and like performing here, so the music is really fu n." "Nunsense," is the last show of the season for Krebs and UW-Sheboyga n, so for more than one reason, they're wrapping up with a blast. "We're so happy about the year we've had and so we're in a celebratory moo d," Krebs said "We're in a dark time right now, with the war going we ll - if there is such a thing. It's like - oh my God -we need to laug h. So we're focusing on the humor, but also the truth." "Nunsense" runs Thursday, April 24 through Sunday April 27 and Thursday, M ay 1 through Sunday, May 4. All performances begin at 8 p.m. except for Su nday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $13 each and may be purchased at the University Theatre Box Of fice (459-6652) Monday through Friday, noon to 6 p.m. For further information, call the UWS Theatre Department at (920) 459-66 77 or email ckrebs@uwc.edu.

| 516 | I328912 | Depies | Laurie | 17 Sep 1971 | 21 Aug 2015 | Appleton Post Crescent | New Article dated Aug 21, 2015 "23 years now." That was the subject of a post Wednesday on the Facebook page of the Town of Menasha Police Department. Beneath those words was a smiling picture of Laurie Depies, who literally dropped off the face of the earth on Aug. 19, 1992, and hasn't been heard from since. The brief Facebook post was a grim reminder of one of the most confounding, perplexing and heartbreaking cases in the history of the Fox Cities. "It's been a long time," said officer Jason Weber, who posted the Facebook entry. "Nothing new has come in on (the investigation into Depies' disappearance). This (post) keeps it on everybody's mind." Depies was 20 and living in Appleton when she disappeared after leaving work at the Fox River Mall and arriving at her boyfriend's apartment on W. Wilson Avenue in the Town of Menasha. She never made it inside. Police were notified. They found her car in the parking lot of the apartment complex, but no sign of Depies. Twenty-three years later, there still has been no credible sighting of Depies. Her family hasn't heard from her. There's been no phone calls and no activity on her bank account or credit card. Weber, who was with the Town of Menasha police when Depies disappeared, said his memories of the early stages of the investigation — which included a busy command post and large-scale organized searches — are still vivid. "And the building at 310-320 W. Wilson Ave. still looks virtually the same (as the night Depies disappeared)," he said. Weber said the department still gets calls "periodically" about the Depies case. The investigation is now in the hands of the Wisconsin Department of Justice. He hopes that the case is someday solved. Depies' parents, Mary Wegner and Mark Depies, have the same hope. The pain of waiting to hear what happened to their daughter has been excruciating. Weber summed it up best in his Facebook post: "Please keep Laurie in your thoughts and prayers, and let's pray for a resolution." — Andy Thompson: 920-993-1000, ext. 320, or awthompson@postcrescent.com; on Twitter @Thompson_AW |

| 544 | I307283 | Dobinski | James "Jim" | 22 Mar 2010 | Appleton Post Crescent | March 22, 2010 Inc. Innovator Update: Stellar Blue Web Design sees good business at end of the tunnel of recession By Maureen Wallenfang Post-Crescent staff writer The small Stellar Blue Web Design has grown by leaps and bounds in its first four years. But the firm, which could reach a volume of $500,00 this year, still doesn't have an actual office. "It's getting close though," said Jim Dobinski, partner in the company with Dustin White and Cathy Wunrow. "We're hiring. We know the growth is going to force us to be more centralized." They still work from their own homes, which has not only has helped with overhead, but also has allowed them great flexibility. But they know the handwriting is on the wall that they have to give up this free spirited existence connected by technology, especially since they've hired three people and plan on hiring two more in programming, design and server administration. "We'll try to resist it as long as we can. It will probably be sometime this year," said White. "We want to keep it fun and interactive and keep the passion we had coming into it." The company's partners are positive that they've seen the end of the recession. "With the economy turning around, we're getting four or five leads a week. People calling us needing expansion or needing a project done," said Dobinski. "It kicked in in December and has been gangbusters ever since." When Inc. Innovator profiled Stellar Blue in April 2007, it was a startup in existence for a little more than a year. It had 30 clients, and a second-year volume of about $75,000. At that time, just Dobinski was full time, and White and Wunrow were holding onto their day jobs. That changed quickly, and the two partners came on board full-time that year. Though they hit the same recessionary speed bump as others in 2008 and 2009, stalling their volume at about $250,000, this year they're poised to double that. Since the beginning of the year, Stellar Blue has won a Rising Star award given by the Heart of the Valley Chamber of Commerce and purchased the Web design development portion of Com Resources, another Appleton firm. Now, Stellar Blue has 164 clients, with about 130 of them needing active Web site maintenance. Sites include features like shopping capabilities, monetary conversion calculators and all sorts of custom applications. On Darboy Stone & Brick's site, for example, the company set up an entire design center. "Say you want to purchase a fireplace, you can choose the different options. At the end it shows your fireplace and all the information. You can print it out and come in and say, 'This is exactly what I want,'" said White. From a client's perspective, Stellar Blue has been attentive and quick. "They were small enough where I wasn't a little fish," said Gary Vaughan, founding member of Guident Business Solutions, a consulting and management development firm based in Appleton. "I wanted to be a valued client and get a little TLC. The larger companies have these big corporate accounts, and I didn't want to complete with them." He appreciates that Stellar Blue services were in-house rather than subcontracted out, which he said sped things up. Another client, Menn Law Firm in Appleton, was looking for a user-friendly site that could function as a resource for local people looking for legal services. It needed a lot of links and an easy path from its e-mailed newsletter back to the company's site. "Stellar Blue has taken it to the next level," said partner Bob Duimstra. "We've gotten a lot of positive feedback on it." Stellar Blue also has walked clients through search engine optimization strategies and the value of social media. The next step in most companies' Web site evolution is being able to manage their own content, said White. He has programs to make that work. "People want to be in control of their own Web sites. You can create your own blogs, articles, calendars, image galleries and Web pages," he said. "There's no calling your Web company asking for updates. But we're still here to help them out if they need it." Additional Facts Inc. Innovator Update Stellar Blue Web Design was first profiled in Inc. Innovator in April 2007. Since then, the company has expanded its clients five-fold and volume many times over. |

Advertisement "They didn't have this when they came home from war," Dreger said as dozens of post office employees and honor guards from two local veterans organizations gathered Thursday to honor Dreger and three other mail carriers who served overseas during the war in Iraq. Co-workers and city officials honored Dreger of Kaukauna and fellow U.S. Army veteran Mark Klineschmidt of Neenah, along with U.S. Navy veteran Joseph Gayan of Appleton and U.S. Marine Corps veteran Rick Biesterveld of Combined Locks. "I'm proud that in this country people can say, 'I support the soldiers even though I don't support the war,'" Dreger said. "Pray for the troops and, hopefully, they will be home soon." Mayor Tim Hanna praised the country's men and women for joining the armed services when the country is at war. "It's a time of economic stress and uncertainty, but yet we have so much to be thankful for," Hanna said. David Martin, Postal Service district manager for Wisconsin and Upper Michigan, himself a military veteran, noted the Postal Service has the highest percentage of employees nationwide serving in the military. Martin presented an American flag flown in Iraq on Dec. 24, 2005, to the Appleton Post Office "to represent our freedoms earned due to the efforts of people like these four guys."

| 609 | I6790 | Ederer | Micheal Ray | 11 Sep 1989 | 20 Aug 2009 | 21 Sep 2009 | Appleton Post Crescent | Mourning for her son has a Kaukauna mom on a mission to beat childhood cancer By Cheryl Anderson, Post-Crescent staff writer There are plenty of times when Chris Ederer cries. She quietly weeps for her son, Michael, who died of cancer a month ago today at age 19. But for the sake of her family and her own mental health, she keeps busy. She has to. "Your kids and your family are only as strong as you are," the Town of Kaukauna woman said. "That's my job." It hasn't gone unnoticed by her husband, Terry, daughters Kasey, 16, and Justine, 19, family and friends."She's just been phenomenal through the whole thing for her family and for everybody around her," said family friend Bruce Van Boxtel, whose son Rich, 20, was a pallbearer at Michael's funeral. In remembrance of Michael and to raise awareness, the Ederers are spreading the word about childhood cancer one gold ribbon at a time. Chris in particular is on a one-woman mission to raise the profile of childhood cancer - the need for research and the need to love and pray for those children going through the same hellish journey her child endured these past three-plus years. "People need to realize what these kids go through," Chris said. "I can't get Michael back, but I'm going to do all I can to spread the word. We need to find a cure." Her car, adorned with a paint job and stickers commemorating area children being treated for cancer, is a moving billboard of sorts, giving all who come upon it a reason to pause. Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children between infancy and age 15, according to the National Cancer Institute, whose 2008 budget was $4.83 billion. Of that, breast cancer received roughly 12 percent, prostate cancer roughly 6 percent, and childhood cancers roughly 4 percent, according to reports at fundedresearch.cancer.gov. "There needs to be continued research, even though we've made such progress in the last 40 years in increasing cure rates in childhood cancers and decreasing side effects and long-term effects from treatment," said Terri Lewis, a nurse with the Prevea Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, where Michael was treated.The Ederers' crusade, Chris said, is to make the gold ribbon of childhood cancer as well known as the pink ribbon, the international symbol for breast cancer awareness. "I'm not knocking pink ribbons. My mom and my mother-in-law are both breast cancer survivors," she said. "But the kids need a little more acknowledgement now." Van Boxtel credits Chris Ederer for not only raising awareness about childhood cancer, but also "helping people that don't even have cancer be more aware of it, and try to prevent it and go in and get checked." Michael's story Much has been written about Michael Ederer, a 6-foot football player and track hurdler at Kaukauna High School who was diagnosed with Ewing's sarcoma his junior year. But his story started two years earlier in December 2005 when he went to the doctor with a pain in his side. "The doctor pushed on it and thought (Michael had) pulled a muscle," Chris said. "Physical therapy was prescribed." "Physical therapy" is a phrase Chris still hates to hear. "What I know now, I would have demanded (an x-ray)," she said of her son's initial diagnosis. "There's something hurting him. …Confirm it." A year to the date later, Michael's pain was so bad he was losing sleep at night. He again went to the doctor, and this time an X-ray was performed and showed small, stringy objects hanging down from his rib. A biopsy was sent to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Two weeks later came the diagnosis of cancer. Ewing's sarcoma is a rare bone cancer that affects only 150 to 200 cases a year in the United States. "It's rare, but once it hits your kid it's not so rare anymore," Chris said. "It's your life." The cancer was in his ribs and had already spread to Michael's lungs. He had a 10 percent survival rate. Chemotherapy, radiation and surgery had Michael and his family hopeful he had beat the disease. But the week of his high school graduation in 2008, it returned. And the grueling process began again, but it never changed Michael's disposition. "He was always a happy go-lucky kid," Chris said. "Even when he was not feeling good or things weren't looking good, he always looked back to Kevin Sharp, a country singer he'd met a couple times, who is a Ewing's sarcoma survivor now of probably 15 or 16 years. … (Michael) would still always say, 'I'm not giving up. They told Kevin Sharp he wasn't going to make it.'" Though Michael never mentioned dying with his family, he did to his friends. "He was worried about the girls (sisters Kasey and Justine) being taken care of and dad having a hunting buddy," Chris said. Early in the week Michael died the doctor told the family nothing more could be done. "So even though he battled almost three years, it went fast," Chris said of her son's death Aug. 20. "I wouldn't of thought he'd be gone now. I thought we'd get one more Christmas at least. I still can't believe he's gone." A mother's mission In the Ederer family's front yard in the Town of Kaukauna sits a large cutout of a gold ribbon Chris designed. There also are dangling gold stars blowing in the breeze, hung before her son's death. They represent the children undergoing cancer treatments at the St. Vincent Hospital Regional Pediatric Center, which works in concert with the Prevea Health Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Clinic in Green Bay. The number 50 has been crossed out and replaced with 49. Chris sent e-mails to corporations such as Toys 'R Us, Grayco, Crayola, Hershey's, Precious Moments and Kimberly-Clark asking for their support. She's e-mailed Oprah and Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres and Bonnie Hunt, to no avail. "I can't help but feel unless we get someone to back us, like Deanna Favre (did) with breast cancer or Michael J. Fox with Parkinson's (disease), we will never get enough funding," she said. "It is the most underfunded research there is. We just need more. … Something needs to be done about it." Piles of black T-shirts created by Eagle Graphics in Kaukauna lay on a table in the family's garage with the same gold ribbon and slogan, "Spreading the word one gold ribbon at a time." The shirts were Chris' idea, and they're offered for a minimal fee to families on Caring Bridge, a nonprofit Web service connecting families and friends of those enduring a critical illness, treatment or recovery. It's on her to-do list to get the shirts in the mail. Parked in the garage is her red Chevy Impala. From behind it looks like any other car. But from the front it is a conversation starter. Painted in black, the hood is emblazoned with tiny gold ribbons and the names of those the Ederer family met or have gotten to know through Caring Bridge who've either beaten cancer, are undergoing treatment or who've lost the battle. If a child dies, a small, white angel is added. In the fall sunlight, the car sparkles. "I think it's very special what Chris is doing," said family friend Terry Gussert of Wrightstown, a body shop technician who helped with the car conversion. "She's dedicated and committed to finding a cure and promoting the awareness of childhood cancer." Never forgotten On Sept. 4, the Kaukauna School District and community paid tribute to Michael at Kaukauna High School's football game against Appleton East. His No. 81 jersey was officially retired before the game, followed by a moment of silence. Prior to the freshman football game against Neenah Sept. 10, the teams lined up across from each other on their respective 45-yard lines. The captains met at mid-field. The Neenah players had heard Michael's story, took up a collection among the team and presented a donation. In Michael's honor, they would not wear No. 81 for the game. And the Kaukauna girls volleyball team is wearing gold shoelaces in recognition of September being Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Michael's sister, Kasey, is on the junior varsity team. About a dozen of Michael's friends showed up at the Ederers' house Sept. 11. Michael would have turned 20. They released balloons in his honor. "Even those big, sturdy football players stood and watched (the balloons) until you couldn't see them anymore," Chris said. " Then they came in, sat down and played video games just like (Michael) was still here until 12:30 or 1 in the morning." For just a moment, the Ederers' world again felt normal. Additional Facts Cancer awareness September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. Here are some facts: # Of the 12 most common forms of childhood cancers, leukemias and cancers of the brain and central nervous system account for more than half of new cases. # About one-third of childhood cancers are leukemias, the most of which in children is acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The most common solid tumors are brain tumors, with other solid tumors being less common. # In the United States in 2007, approximately 10,400 children under age 15 were diagnosed with cancer and about 1,545 children will die from the disease. Although this makes cancer the leading cause of death by disease among U.S. children ages 1 to 14, cancer is still relatively rare in this age group. On average, one to two children develop the disease each year for every 10,000 children in the United States. Source: www.cancer.gov |

Wright agreed Tuesday night to pay $1,350,000 to the fami ly of a 9- year-old boy who died after being swept into a storm drain duri ng a downpour in 1995.The payment settles a lawsuit that Steve and Mary Elsbernd brought again st the city over the death of their son, Charles.''This was a terrible tragedy for the city and for the Elsbernds,'' said c ity attorney Pete Summe Tuesday night, after the city agreed to the settle ment in a closed session during the city council meeting.''Our heart goes out to them. We're relieved to have this over and the Els bernds can start healing,'' he said.The settlement with the city resolves all issues covered in the suit, sa id Steve Elsbernd. The Kenton County & Municipal Planning and Zoning Commi ssion and the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission reached a joint s ettlement a few weeks ago, said Kenton County & Municipal Planning and Zon ing Commission chairman Tim Theissen. He would not reveal the settlement a mount.The Elsbernds had filed suit last year against the city, the planning comm ission and the developer Charles Berling and his company, saying Berling w as negligent in the design of the storm-sewer system in the subdivision a nd the city was negligent for accepting the design.Berling's company settled its portion of the suit previously. Berling wou ld not reveal his settlement amount. ''That was up to the lawyers and t he insurance company,'' Berling said Tuesday night.The defendants had petitioned the court to add 27 neighbors to the lawsui t, saying if a court apportions blame, it should have the option of incl ud ing the neighbors who lived along the storm sewer line.The neighbors were dismissed from the suit some time ago, Elsbernd said.He said he and his wife had been asked not to comment on the suit for seve ral days and preferred not to say anything more.Charles Elsbernd had been playing in a yard on Beaumont Court, near his F t. Wright home, when he was swept through the 18-inch opening of a drain p ipe.The pipe had not been covered by a grate or bar because of the possibili ty the opening would become clogged with debris and worsen flooding proble ms. The city later placed a metal bar across the drain-pipe opening.In June of this year, the Kenton County & Municipal Planning and Zoning Co mmission adopted new safety standards for storm drains in new constructio n. The standards are aimed at making storm-water drains safer in neighborh oods and subdivisions by requiring smaller openings and other safety measu res. The kind of inlet that swept Charles Elsbernd into a pipe is prohibit ed. 1997 Cincinnati Post ; Parents pray son's death a message; By Crystal Hard en, Post staff reporter; Publication date: 08-21-97Charles Elsbernd, who was swept to his death two years ago through a storm -drainage pipe, would have started sixth grade Wednesday at St. Agnes Scho ol in Ft. Wright.But instead of seeing their only son off to his first day of class, Ste ve and Mary Ellen Elsbernd marked the two-year anniversary of his death.At a press conference Wednesday afternoon held in a Covington law offic e, the couple alluded to the sadness of not sending their son to school th is year. But their primary message was that local governments need to ta ke safety more seriously.''It is our hope that this case will get the attention of municipal offici als everywhere and cause them to correct safety hazards similar to the o ne which caused our son's death,'' Elsbernd said.''If this is accomplished, perhaps some other innocent child will be sav ed and some other family will be spared the indescribable agony of losi ng a child.''The Elsbernds blame city officials who knew about problems with the draina ge system where Charles died but failed to fix them.The Elsbernds said they were unaware of the danger before Charles' death.''Charles was playing in what appeared to be a pond of water in a resident ial backyard,'' Elsbernd said. ''The water was calm and there were no indi cations of a submerged drainpipe or any other danger.''The couple sued the city of Ft. Wright and settled Tuesday for $1.35 milli on.In all, the Elsbernds received more than $2.3 million in settlement paymen ts from their lawsuit.In addition to the city, Berling Construction Co. paid $500,000; engine er Jim Berling paid $375,000 and the Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commi ssion and Kenton County plan ning and zoning commission paid $100,000.''Our purpose in pursuing this lawsuit has been to send a loud messa ge to all persons and entities with control over the design, constructi on and maintenance of storm-sewer systems and to bring about change,'' Els bernd said.Flooding in the area was caused by the improper design of the drainage sys tem along a section of Beaumont Court, Elsbernd said. The city knew abo ut the flooding through residents' complaints. One resident even asked th at a cover or grate be in stalled over the opening of the drainpipe yea rs before Charles drowned.Charles died Aug. 19, 1995, when he was forced through the storm-draina ge pipe while playing in a yard during an intense downpour. As much as 2 i nches of rain fell in a 30-minute period, creating a torrent of water rush ing into the 325-foot drainage pipe. It empties into a creek behind Beaumo nt Court.The 9-year-old boy was found about 15 feet from the end of the pipe, wrapp ed around a tree limb in the creek.After his death, the city in stalled a single metal bar in the openi ng of the 18-inch storm drain. Someone subsequently added another bar to t he opening.The Northern Kentucky Area Planning Commission said the drainage pipe th at took Charles to his death met the minimum standards required for the su bdivision. However, the commission set up a committee to determine possib le changes for new subdivisions.In June the Kenton County & Municipal Planning & Zoning Commission adopt ed new standards aimed at making storm-water drains safer in residential a reas by requiring smaller openings and other safety measures.Elsbernd says that isn't enough because the standards only apply to new su bdivisions. Talk from city officials in Northern Kentucky about the expen se of fixing existing storm drainage problems makes him angry.The costs of fixing the system shouldn't outweigh the life of a chil d, he said.The Elsbernds and their attorneys also said residents need to take respons ibility to help solve the flooding problems. They should report hazardo us situations to city officials, consider putting grates over storm drai ns and post signs to warn others of the danger.The city was the last defendant to settle the lawsuit. City officials decl ined comment Wednesday. | ||||||||||

Gayle Schuster was one of those people. "Gayle was instrumental in getting support for the library we have now," said Betty Hague, a member of the Library Board of Directors and Friends of the Pike County Public Library. "She persevered and did not give up. She fought like a gladiator to have this building constructed." Schuster was a longtime library volunteer and member of the Friends and Library Board. She worked tirelessly to establish the new library before her death in October at age 72. To honor her public spirit, the board plans to create the Gayle Schuster Children's Theater and reading area in her name. It was Schuster's dream to create a theater especially for children. The new Dorothy E. Warner Pike County Public Library building opened its doors on Sept. 30, 2013. It was preceded by a contentious period when some promoted a grander building that would not fit on the lot set aside for it. A design more in keeping with its surroundings and approved by most residents was ultimately approved. Hague said Schuster came up with the idea for a stage for children's theater and a circular seating area for storytelling. "It would be a place that was happy and fun and special for children," whom Schuster loved, Hague said. According to Elspeth Goodin, former President of the Library Board, Schuster was a very positive, hard-working person. "Gayle was wonderful to know, outgoing and believing in outreach and services for the community," she said. "She was very dedicated to this library and it was her idea to include a Friends' room where the Friends of Pike Library could make available used books for sale." The room was officially named the James R. Goldstein Friends of the Library Room. Hardcover books sell for one dollar and paperbacks for 50 cents. In just one year, they've managed to raise $13,000, all of which goes to the library's operations. Hague misses her friend. "Gayle and I were not only board members together, but very close friends," she said. "I can't come up with the right adjectives. She was considerate of other people, quiet when she believed in something and she didn't give up and stuck to her guns. She was one of the kindest people I've ever known." Both Elspeth Goodin and current Library Board President Kirk Mackey felt an instant connection with Schuster. Mackey said he met Schuster ten years ago, and that she was one of the first people to welcome him. He said he formed "an instant connection" with Schuster and her family, thinking, "This is a person I would like to spend time with, (sharing) the same values and goals." A fearless advocate Mackey said Schuster stayed involved when many others dropped off the board during the controversy surrounding the proposed new library. "Her motives were never self-serving," Mackey said. "They were always for the betterment of the Milford community, especially the children." The library is only a few thousand dollars from its Children's Theater goal. The community has contributed generously. Board members hope they will receive a grant in January 2015 that will enable them to complete the entire lower level and proceed with construction of the theater area. An opening will be created near the circulation desk and a staircase installed down to the lower level. In addition to the stage for the children's theater, there will be audio-visual, recording and sound system equipment. Storytelling, too, will take place, and people from all walks of life will be invited to come and read to the children.

She worked as an English teacher in the New York City public school system in the 1960s and '70s, and later as librarian for Hunterdon County for the Kingwood Elementary School, High Bridge Middle School and Hunterdon Central High School. She and her husband-to-be, Richard Schuster, were neighbors in Jackson Heights, Queens. They married in August 1967. The couple bought a house on Long Island and adopted daughter, Nicolle. A few years later, to their surprise, biological son Evan arrived. The family moved to Twin Lakes in Milford in 1996 and spent 15 years there before moving to Stockton, N.J., in 2012 to be closer to Nicolle and their adopted grandchild, Yue Li, now 4. Gayle retired as a school librarian from High Bridge Middle School in 1999. After that she substituted for a year and a half at Hunterdon Central High School for a teacher on maternity leave. After her retirement, she spent many years volunteering. Nicolle and her husband, Scott Belsky, now teach at Hunterdon Central High School. Evan recalls with amusement the somewhat difficult circumstances of his senior year in high school. "I had both my sister and mom as teachers there and I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there," he said. Evan now lives in Florida and owns Paramount Training Services, a chain of health care schools in South Florida. He has an adopted daughter, Madelynne, who is 4. Evan's father, Richard, worked for Dow Jones, near the World Trade Center. He retired in 2001, a month before the 9/11 tragedy. Gayle, who retired earlier, spent much of her time with the friends of the library and her garden club. After the move to Stockton, Gayle suffered from health problems - first pneumonia, then mitral valve replacement surgery in 2013, and then the gastro-intestinal cancer that took her life. "Why was she taken so early?" Her son Evan asks himself. "She did so much." He is comforted by the fact he got the chance to tell her how much he loved her, and how many friends she had, and how many lives she touched. "If the life you have is going to be measured," Evan said, "it should be by how many lives you've touched." And Gayle Schuster touched many lives - and will continue to do so through the Children's Theater she dreamed up. |

| 676 | I157519 | Evers | Whitney | 11 Feb 1985 | 29 Jul 2009 | Central Michigan University | Evers Signs Pro Contract to Play in Switzerland Courtesy: CMU Sports Information Release: 07/28/2009 Evers tallied 1,204 kills in her four seasons and is one of just 12 players to post over 1,000 in her CMU career. MOUNT PLEASANT -- Whitney Evers became the first former Central Michigan volleyball player in program history to sign a professional contract overseas, agreeing to terms with KBS Volley in the Nationilliga League A in Dudingen, Switzerland. She is just the second player in program history to play professionally. Angie Henderson-Montroy played in the Major Volleyball League with the Chicago Breeze. Evers became the 12th player in program history to crack 1,000 kills in 2008 and sits eighth in CMU history with 1,204 kills. She's also the only player in the post-rally scoring era to be among CMU's top-10 in solo blocks (64, ninth) and is also the only post-rally scoring player in block assists (366, fourth) and total blocks (430, seventh). In addition, Evers ranks fourth in program history with 132 aces. "It's exciting to have the opportunity to not only continue my playing career, but also explore and learn about another culture at the same time," Evers said. Evers is one of a four-person senior class that helped rebuild CMU volleyball and return it to the consistent success it experienced during the late 1970s through the mid 1980s. The 41 wins over Evers' final two seasons (2007-08) were more than the team had tallied in a two-year stretch since 1984-85 (47) and the 22 wins in 2007 was the first 20-win season since 1985. "The Chippewa volleyball family is extremely proud of Whitney and her accomplishments," head coach Erik Olson said. "The next endeavor will be a challenge, but she is ready for it and will do very well. Whitney has a great passion for the game and I'm excited to see how far she can go with it." Evers also helped guide the Chippewas to its first postseason win in 25 seasons, beating Toledo in the opening round of the 2007 Mid-American Conference Tournament. It was a long and difficult path for a quartet of seniors that lost 24 matches (3-24) as freshmen before putting together the biggest turnaround in MAC history as sophomores (17-13, +12.5 games). The Little Chute, Wis. native earned first team All-MAC and Academic All-MAC honors in 2008, finishing with 319 kills, a .258 hitting percentage, 33 aces, 204 digs and 74 blocks and graduated cum laude, posting a 3.50 grade-point average with a integrative public relations major. She is just the third three-time All-MAC honoree in school history (first team in 2008, second team in 2006 and 2007). Evers also earned Academic All-MAC honors her senior season. "It's really a great honor to represent CMU, to be just the second professional volleyball player from the program and to have a chance to spread the word about their program in any way I can," Evers said. "The university and the volleyball program did a lot for me during my four years in Mount Pleasant, so anything I can do to give a little back is very important to me." "Whitney is a very good volleyball player with a very diverse skill set," Olson said. "She is capable of playing as many as three different positions, and has the self motivation and sense of independence required to live overseas and prepare herself for elite competition. She has what it takes to get it done." Evers leaves for Switzerland in mid-August, with practices set to start later that month. go to http://www.tsvd.ch/volley/default.aspx for more info. |

Kaukauna turned out a large crowd at the station to see the boys off and they left amid the cheers of their friends and the shedding of tears of their mothers and sisters.

| 734 | I308166 | Feeney | John | 27 May 2012 | Appleton Post Crescent | Green Bay diocese liable for molestation cover-up APPLETON — When an Outagamie County jury decided the Roman Catholic Diocese of Green Bay covered up a priest's history of child molestation, it sent a message to the rest of Wisconsin, an advocate for sexual abuse victims said. The outcome of Todd and Troy Merryfields' civil lawsuit against the diocese Monday empowers victims across the state to come forward, said Peter Isely, the Midwest director for Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. For others who have reported sexual abuse by priests, this "should increase the pressure to bring these cases to a just resolution." "That is always something that occurs when this culture of secrecy ... is pierced and opened by cases like this," Isely said. Rev. John Feeney molested the Merryfields in 1978, when they were 12 and 14 years old. In 2004, Feeney was convicted of sexual assault of the brothers. After the criminal trial, the brothers said they learned the priest had a history of similar assaults in the 1960s and 1970s that the diocese knew about and hid from parishioners at St. Nicholas Church in Freedom, which the Merryfields attended. So in 2008, they sued the diocese and now-deceased Bishop Aloysius Wycislo, who was in charge of ensuring priests were fit to serve, for fraudulent misrepresentation and sought unspecified damages. Things got specific Monday, when the Merryfields' attorneys asked the jury to compensate Todd $900,000 and Troy $1.8 million for pain, suffering and medical costs related to the molestation. The diocesan attorney, Patrick Brennan, said if the jury found the diocese guilty, the brothers should be given $100,000. The jury awarded Todd $225,000 and Troy $475,000, but that might be just part of the diocese's bill. On Wednesday morning, the jury will reconvene and hear more witnesses to determine if, and how much, the diocese must pay in punitive damages, which are punishment to deter the organization from committing fraud again. Deacon Timothy Reilly of the Green Bay diocese read a statement outside the courthouse after the verdict, in which he apologized to the Merryfields for the pain they suffered but disagreed with the jury's decision. The diocese argued the brothers suffered only minor trauma from the abuse and there was not enough evidence to back their claim that Bishop Wycislo knew Feeney had a history of molestation and committed fraud by representing him as safe. "From the very beginning of the time when this lawsuit was filed against us, our focus has always been on discovering the truth and on achieving justice. If the documents and depositions indicated that there was a legitimate basis for the allegation of fraud against Bishop Wycislo and the diocese, we would not have undertaken the expense and time to so vigorously defend (them)," Reilly said. The Green Bay diocese sent an email response to the verdict that said it has rigorous policies to ensure children are safe, including background checks on staff and volunteers, barring clergy who have a "credible allegation" of child abuse from ministry and mandatory reporting of those allegations to law enforcement. The Catholic church hasn't been held accountable for many past abuses in Wisconsin, Isely said. "They have enjoyed an extraordinary immunity so this is a really historic, landmark day for the victims and the truth," he said. "This is just one small drop of the deception and the lies and the devastation that has been caused to countless lives in that diocese." Over the past week, Jeffrey Anderson and John Peterson, the Merryfields' attorneys, called several priests as witnesses. The priests testified there were allegations of inappropriate behavior by Feeney — that he swam naked with boys and showered with them after basketball games — long before he assaulted the Merryfields in 1978. Feeney was attending mental health counseling in 1974 after he touched girls inappropriately at a church retreat, Rev. Lawrence Canavera testified. Anderson and Peterson presented a letter forwarded from psychologist Thomas Kelley to the bishop stating under stress Feeney's "usual controls over sexual impulses may fail and cause some indiscretions." But the bishop, who died in 2005, said in a previous deposition that if there was merit to complaints of sexual abuse by Feeney, he would have immediately suspended the priest. After the jury deliberated for five hours, Judge Nancy Krueger announced it had reached a verdict. The Merryfields stared quietly at the front of the court, Troy and his attorney fidgeted nervously — then the jurors filed in and Krueger read the verdict. Four years after they filed the lawsuit, the Merryfields and their attorneys shook hands and hugged in celebration. Troy sat with his arm around Todd, comforting the older brother who had spent most of his life denying the molestation ever occurred. — Jessie Van Berkel: 920-993-1000, ext. 426, or jvanberkel@postcrescent.com; on Twitter @jessvanb |

We saw the stone and it looks and feels exactly like a limestone. The child is doing well and will recover; the mother is of course in attendance here with her child. The parents have been consulting physicians for last 16 months without the latter ís discovering the true cause of the ailment. Last week the same gentlemen removed from the arm of Mr. LORENZ near Sheboygan Falls, a large portion of diseased bone with such success as to save the amputation of the arm . |

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports a stranger found Ryan Fieck face down on a running path beneath a concrete wall with a drop of about 10 feet. The Milwaukee County medical examiner's report says Fieck had been out with friends earlier at a pub crawl. Credit cards and nearly $50 in cash were found in his pockets, along with his cell phone. His parents, Mark and Lana Fieck, of Appleton, told police that their son was excited about graduating in December and had a few job interviews lined up. They declined to comment to the newspaper but referred to a statement on a Facebook page created in their son's memory. "In loving memory of the single person whose contagious, upbeat attitude and hickish humor could put a smile on even the most serious of faces," it said. "You were and will always be remembered as an amazing son, brother, friend, humanitarian, classmate as well as so many other things. May you live on through all of us that you have so positively affected throughout your life. With love, your friends and family."

| 787 | I322050 | Filyes | Lawrence | 26 Nov 1915 | 15 Jan 2005 | 29 Apr 2003 | APC | Just as he's always done, Lawrence Filyes slides onto the stool smack in the center of the counter that runs the length of Rudy's Diner in Brillion. As usual, Warren Engel, a plumber, sits to his left. And to Engel's left again sits the town's retired postmaster, who insists, "Oh, just call me Dutch." The three have been coming into Rudy's for so long that they can't even remember when it wasn't part of their routine. "Is it 30 years, 40 years?" Filyes mused. "It's good camaraderie," said Dutch, nodding. "And you find out what's new. (We're in) at least once a day ... provided nothing else is pressing. It's a regular routine." For more than 60 years, Rudy's Diner has been part of life in Brillion. And now, just as it's always been, it's a meeting place for friends to chat over coffee and a slice of pie, a comfortable spot for families to start the day over bacon, eggs and pancakes, or a welcome waystation for truckers or cyclists to dig into the meatloaf, mashed potatoes and gravy. Real home cooking is both a promise and a tradition at Rudy's that apparently transcends time. "The neat thing about the restaurant is that it's still small and has that small-town flavor and we've really tried to keep the consistency and quality of the food," said Rosemary Clarke, who co-owns the place with husband Kevin. The Clarkes are only the second owners in the eatery's long history. Rudolph Seljan -- or Rudy -- originally bought the place from his brother, Emil, for $825 back in 1939 when the sign outside said "hamburgers 5 cents." His first day of business, he took in $6.50. He ran "Rudy's Cafe" for 50 years before finally turning it over to the Clarkes in 1989. Talk to anybody about Rudy and it doesn't take long to get the picture. Rudy was a gruff little man who wasn't afraid to snatch the newspaper out of a diner's hands and shoo him out of a seat if he didn't want anything else and other customers were waiting. "And you didn't dare sit in a booth unless there were four of you. You just didn't do it," Rosemary said. Rosemary recalled one occasion, when they'd been open about six months, when a man came in and sort of apologetically said, "I'm really hungry for a hamburger. Do you think it'd be OK if I had one?" "Of course," she told him, somewhat puzzled by his tone. Turns out that Rudy had never liked to make hamburgers because it took too long and he couldn't work the customers through fast enough. In perhaps cheeky irony, the burgers on the Clarkes' menu are called "Rudy's Hamburgers." But if Rudy's manners may have been rough around the edges sometimes, his food always kept people coming back. It never pretended to be anything fancy but, gosh, it hit the spot. And that, the Clarkes are proud to proclaim, hasn't changed. "It's a landmark in this community," said Heather Zander, Brillion's community development director. "Rudy himself was just a neat old fellow and the new proprietors have taken that and gone with it. You know how much weight you can gain just sitting in that place? It's just great." In 1993, the Clarkes remodeled, expanding the kitchen and bumping the diner's seating capacity from 27 to 44. To enhance the feel of an all-American diner, existing counter stools were rechromed and reupholstered rather than replaced with newer vintages. An old cooler from the 1930s still stands behind the counter. "The only time we might have lost a few regulars was when we went non-smoking," Rosemary said. "We were the first restaurant in Calumet County to go non-smoking, back in about 1994." Neither Rosemary nor Kevin grew up in Brillion -- Rosemary grew up in Seymour and Kevin hails from Australia -- but the town, its people and their tiny diner have so burrowed their way into their hearts that they can't imagine living anywhere else. Rosemary was a former schoolteacher and Kevin was a banker in Green Bay when they took over Rudy's place. "We were raising a young family and we just decided we wanted to get out of the larger city," Rosemary said. "I've always liked cooking, baking and I'd done private catering in Green Bay ... that was the niche that we thought we'd go into." "Fourteen years later, we're still hard at it," Kevin said. Typical of a small town, news always travels fast and Rudy's Diner is definitely in that loop. "We usually hear it here," Rosemary said. "Sometimes it even starts here." Neighbors and their comings and goings are familiar. The same goes for customers. "They'll pull up in the driveway and we'll say, 'Two pancakes and crispy bacon just rolled in,'" Rosemary said. "You just get used to what they like. It's almost like an extended family. "But that's part of the reason we came to a small town because we like that closeness. We like to know the people that live next door or in the town. I think that's the way to raise a family." Seljan died in 1993 at age 80 but there are still moments when his ghost lurks around the corner at Rudy's. "Sometimes we'll yell back and forth and customers will say, 'Boy, it's just like Rudy's here,'" Rosemary said. "Rudy was a legend and he was a legend because he had a small little place that served good food ... and he took care of his customers," she said. "In that way, we feel as though we can successfully carry on that whole feel of what Rudy's is all about." Just save that center spot at the counter for Filyes. The Post - Crescent; Appleton, Wis.

| 795 | I33230 | Fink | Helen Ann | Forbeck | 7 Dec 1944 | 14 Jan 2018 | 3 Jan 2013 | beloit daily news | Helen Forbeck is beginning her first day of retirement today after a long career in politics, including most recently serving in the Beloit office of U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin, the newly elected Wisconsin senator. For nine years, Forbeck was charged with managing Baldwin's Beloit Congressional office. Baldwin was elected to the U.S. Senate in the November election. "She was just a treasure to work for. In my humble opinion, she stood for the right things, and was consistent yet flexible. I was very proud to work for her. She was a great representative, and she'll be a great senator," Forbeck said. "It's been a pleasure I and appreciate the opportunity to serve." As Forbeck focuses on the next stage of her life, she said she will feel freer to speak out publicly on more issues. Although she doesn't plan to run for any local offices, she said she will remain active in helping campaigns and staying true to her convictions. "I'll be around," she said. Forbeck, 68, said she had considered moving on with Baldwin, but wasn't interested in having to work out of Madison or Milwaukee and the necessary driving associated with it. She decided now would be a good time to catch up with her grandchildren, pursue her love of genealogical research and just have fun. Forbeck, born Helen Fink, grew up in Menasha and attended college at Marquette, majoring in history and minoring in English and Education. She was a teacher for two years in the Milwaukee area before moving to Beloit in 1970. She was a stay-at-home mom for 12 years while doing substitute teaching and working on Les Aspin's 1982 campaign for Congress. While raising her family Forbeck was active in the community for years as a Girl Scout Leader, Cub Scout Den Mother, soccer coach, girl's softball coach, and a member of both the Beloit Planning and Beloit Parks and Recreation commissions prior to her service on City Council. She worked at Rock County Opportunities Industrialization Center for almost eight years as a job developer. From 1991 to 1993 she served as Rep. Les Aspin's ombudswoman, where she managed his district office, represented the congressman at local functions and helped local communities and businesses secure and retain federal resources. Her experience extended to the Beloit City Council where she served three terms and was elected the first female City Council president. Following her service in his congressional office, Forbeck joined Aspin at the Department of Defense where she served as a special assistant in the Office of the Secretary of Defense in Washington. after being elected to office herself, Forbeck said she discovered she preferred to work for someone else. She said she admires and respects politicians' commitment to public service, noting that traveling back and forth can be very wearing. Forbeck was particularly impressed with Baldwin's "grace under fire." "She just cares abut people and is a class act," she said. Forbeck said she introduced herself to Baldwin when she was first elected in the late 1990s during a reception. She was drawn to Baldwin's unwavering commitment to civil rights, the environment and health care. Once Forbeck worked for Baldwin, she said she found it to be a family-friendly and supportive office. "We, in turn, would give her (Baldwin) everything and work hard for her. It was like family," Forbeck said. Although Forbeck enjoyed her years managing Baldwin's Beloit Congressional Office, she is ready to start a new chapter with her family. With two sons, two daughters, and twelve grandchildren, Forbeck will be busy watching sports or leading ice fishing and sledding expeditions, although she's in the "watching and driving" phase of participation. Forbeck is also working on leaving her grandchildren a legacy of family research after travels to Holland and Ireland to unearth more family history. She's already discovered an ancestor in the Civil War as well as Vinkenvleugel, an early predecessor to the Fink family. Forbeck plans to continue her adventures seeking out clues to her family's past to hand over to the future generations. |

Three saloon keepers paid fines of $200 and costs when they appeared before Judge A. M.

Those who paid fines were Edward Mantz, Stephensvills, and Martin Verbeten and Theodore Jacobs of Kimberly. Trials of John and Vincent Forster, Maple Grove-st., and Jacob Miller, Kaukauna. still are pending. All five arrests were the result of raids in Outagamie Co. within the last few days by a group of federal and state prohibition officers, who confiscated liquor for evidence in each place. A pitcher of moonshine whisky behind the bar and a jug of the fluid in the back room ware found at the Mantz soft drink establishment, Stephensville, in a raid Monday afternoon At the Forster brothers' establishment, one man is said to have fled through the rear door as the officers entered at the front. He was followed and a pint of liquor was found beneath a stairway. A path was followed to the end of, the yard, where a jug containing more "moon" was discovered. This raid was conducted Monday morning. The visit to the Jacob Miller place of business on Wisconsin-ave, Kaukauna, Sunday evening revealed a pint bottle of moonshine concealed in the flushing tank of a toilet. In the two Kimberly raids, the officers confiscated several pop bottles filled with the strong brown fluid at the Verbaeten place and a pint bottle half filled and a 3-gallon jug partially filled at the Jacobs place.

They lived for some yea rs in the States of New York and Ohio. The subject of this notice marri ed Miss Mary Keating, of Templetuohy, County Tipperary at Elibans, in t he latter State. The year 1865 found them in the present family homestea d. John's first farm consisted of eighty acres of wild land, but he own ed nearly 500 acres of improved soil when the grave claimed him. He lov ed farming and constantly studied to acquire a knowledge of it's best meth ods. American citizenship was highly prized, and his native country fond ly remembered, by this skillful farmer. Thomas and Bridget Fox are buried in the old part of the parish graveya rd and so are Reverend James Lane, the founder of the parish, and Revere nd William Herbert, also a former pastor, and well kept are their graves. The influence of John Fox contributed largely to the prevalence of devoti on to the Sogarth Aroon. He could not see how a man could sincerely profe ss the Catholic faith and belittle the priest. He inherited the religio us traditions of two countries, his own gallant Tipperary and conservati ve Limerick. His mother was a Miss Ryan Rill of Murroe, a village that co nstantly gazes on the historic Galtee Mountains and enviously looks down f rom the hillside of "Sweet Cappemore". His faith partook of the durabili ty of Tipperary rock and the richness of the Limerick soil. Mr. Fox esteemed his church and was seen in his pew every Sunday and Ho ly Day of obligation. When the family sitting became too small for his ho usehold he rented a second pew and took care that every member of it occup ied his allotted place in the church. The house was locked and no one rem ained at home during the one and only Sunday Mass of the parish. He did n ot believe in the false economy of some parents who allow their childre n, from want of pew room to clog the church doors or intrude on others. T he loss of faith is too often the said results of this parsimony. Economi cal he was but he spared in another quarter where no one experienced the i nconvenience save himself and his concurrent family. Our departed friend loved to hear sermons and often received the holy sacr aments during the year. The beads were recited in his house every nigh t. His cordial sympathy with the church in the efforts to promote tempera nce was manifest. Whether others encouraged or, through avrices or fraili ty, checked the progress of sobriety, John Fox remained a teetotale r. He could not do too much for his friends, and would sooner forfeit a r ight than quarrel with a neighbor. Pretence and fuss were foreign to his nature. The visit of a Tipperary em igrant lit up his countenance and brought out the characteristic trai ts of Irish patriotism and he would talk over old times and frien ds as if things of yesterday. Children's love built him a monument, but h is own maxim and piety continued through the years of his stewardship, con structed for him a golden memorial. His children live on the cultivated broad acres which his faith and indust ry procured and attend their religious duties as in the days of their belo ved father. No marble could so honor his name. May he rest in peace. Acquinas |

These three men, with two others, will be inducted to the Paper Industry International Hall of Fame on Sept. 23, 2010 in Appleton, Wisconsin. Henry Frambach was a ?pioneer papermaker who built and ran six paper or pulp mills in Wisconsin and Michigan. Frambach was instrumental in bringing an advanced groundwood process to Wisconsin in 1872 which helped accelerate the US paper industry. He obtaiined fourteen U.S. patents. One interesting part of his career was being the manager for paper making exhibit at the Chicago Columbian Exposition of 1893e. John Swanson was a famous professor at the Institute of Paper Chemistry, where he served from from 1941 to 1982. (The Institute later moved to Georgia and became part of Georgia Tech as the Institute of Paper Science and Technology.) He was an expert in the chemistry of surfaces and colloids and used his expertise to help advance papermaking from a mysterious art into a science. Gutenberg, I understand, was some guy from Germany who had something to do with early non-electronic media (maybe early precursors of the Kindle and iPad?), apparently using some kind of printing technology to create reading material that had to be physically picked up to be accessed. Go figure. Well, I guess that's cool, too. There are two other inductees: Friedrich Gottlob Keller (1816-1895, Germany) who helped develop ways to use trees for papermaking (it was his process that Frambach brought to Wisconsin and further refined), and Jasper Mardo (1921-1997, Vancouver, Canada), a leader and educator who brought about many advances in knowledge and practice in papermaking. |

F. Winsey After working in the garden all morning, Michael Gainor, 87 year old Mackville, complained to the writer a few days ago, that he was getting a trifle weaker day by day and less able to stand physical exertion than when he was young. "Are you not in good health", inquired the writer. "Yes," was the prompt reply, "I have a good appetite, sleep soundly and was never ill a day in my life." "If that is the case and if you would go easy on that work in the garden, you might hold your own and even notice some improvements." suggested the writer. "You are no spring chicken and you should not try to keep pace with the young birds." After the introductory dialogue was completed in the Gainor home, Mr. Gainor for the entertainment of his guest sang a good old Irish song. Stimulated by the words and the music, weariness was displaced by animation. At this point, Mr. Gainor declared that he had sung Irish songs and played the violin in his home and at parties and dances for the last fifty years. In October, 1877, soon after he was married to Johanna Barry while working for the Barrys near Mackville, Mr. Gainor bought a stock of goods in Chicago and opened up a general store and saloon in Mackville. 2 FAMILIES IN VILLAGE At the time Mr. Gainor started in business, he had, as competitors in the saloon business, Geo. Rabb and Edward McGillan. There were only two families living in the village and David Barry who cut down the first tree in the town of Center was living to the north of the village. Barry settled in the town of Center in 1848. A log church, built by Peter Hephner, who settled in Mackville in 1849 and who donated the land for a new church and the cemetery, was standing when Gainor opened up his doors for business, but the frame of the new church had been put up. Mr. Gainor was a large contributor to the building of the new church and new sisters' house and helped to build them. As soon as he could, he bought the old house, formerly occupied by the sisters, moved it to an acre of ground and is now living in the house and working the land. After enjoying a very prosperous business for a long term of years, and setting aside a snug little fortune, Gainor rented his store to Philip Barry in 1893, bought five houses in Appleton and retired from business. His store burned to the ground in 1898. To rebuild he sold his five houses in Appleton, moved back again to Mackville and when the new building was ready for occupancy, opened up a new general store and saloon. He continued in business till nine years ago when he sold out to his son Joseph and retired for the second time. In 1847, when the famine in Ireland drove a number of emigrants to America, the Gainor family and a party of relatives and friends started from the city of Limerick for Quebec. In the Gainor family were father and mother, Mrs. Patrick Patten, Appleton, and Mrs. John Barry. They went to Canada to join an uncle who had been writing and inviting them to come. The party landed at Montreal, stayed there a few weeks and proceeded by team and boat to Branford, Canada, where the elder Gainor died. After the death of the father the family moved to Norwich township later to Woodstock and remained in Canada until October 1849. After the mother had married Phillip Greening, a blacksmith, Thomas Hays, an uncle of the Gainors who was a builder of locks on the Fox river, invited the family to come to the Fox river valley. The Gainors set out by boat from Canada for Green Bay. Greening got work shoeing horses for the government and the family lived in Green Bay until 1851. Later the family located on a wild tract near Chilton in February 1857. There were no trees cut on the land and no buildings when the family arrived to take possession. After clearing and improving the farm, in 1863, when the war of the rebellion was on, the family sold out and shipped the household goods and located on a farm near Prairie du Chien. In 1868 the Iowa farm was disposed of and the family moved to Fond du Lac, settling on a farm of 120 acres four miles southeast of the city. The family remained on the latter farm five years when a sale was again made and another farm of 260 acres was bought at Seven Mile Creek. Later the family again sold out and returned to Chilton. When Mr. Gainor, subject of this sketch, returned to Chilton he worked at the carpenter trade several years before starting for Mackville. He was married in Chilton and the newly wedded pair naturally gravitated toward their relatives, the Barrys in Mackville. Mr. Gainor was born in Tipperary, Ireland in 1836, was married to Johanna Barry in Chilton in 1876. Mrs. Gainor died in 1895 and he was married again in 1895 to Helen Holsknecht, still living. The children are, Mrs. Paul Schroeder, Appleton; George, Oregon; Joseph, Mackville, Mrs. Wyenberg[Weyenberg], Apppleton; Mrs. Edward Verkeuhlen, North Dakota; Mrs. Louis Hartl, Seymour; Victor, living with his parents.

If you kn ow this person is living, please contact me with an address, either post al or email. Thanks.) Faith and Wilbur are my great Aunt and Uncle and they are still livin g, they reside in Bonita Springs, Fl. The following is a article about th em, that I found on the internet last year. It was in "The Florida Cathol ic - Venice Edition". I am also attaching the picture that was included w ith the article. If I can be of further assistance please let me know. B est Regards, Robby Still in love after all these yearsThe Anniversary Mass brought together more than 28,000 years of marriage. By: Heather Felton (Venice - Feb. 20, 2003) The Epiphany Cathedral was packed and ne ar to bursting as couples from across the 10-county diocese to celebrate t heir marriages and renew their vows. A total of 545 couples attended, brin ging 28,851 years of marriage to the celebration on Saturday, Feb. 1 "Thank God for the example of all of you good people," said Father Willi am Adams, the homilist for the 19th annual event. "You wouldn't be he re if it weren't for your strong love and good example."He spoke about many older couples he knew and told their stories of how th ey met and why their marriages are so successful."We are forever young and we like to remember good things," he said.During the Mass, sponsored by the diocesan Family Life Office in the Pasto ral Ministries Department, the couples were recognized in groups by the nu mber of years married. There were 23 couples celebrating their silver anni versaries, 186 celebrating gold anniversaries and 336 with more than 50 ye ars married.The final couple introduced were Fay and Wilbur Conklin, married 74 yea rs and the longest married couple at the Mass.Bishop John J. Nevins, the presider at the Mass, went down to meet them wh ere they sat in the first row wearing matching outfits of light blue. He l ay his hands on their heads and blessed them, hugged them and then told t he congregation that the blessing and hugs were for them all.The Conklins, of Bonita Springs, attend St. Leo Parish. They met at a dan ce hall in Oshkosh, Wis., in 1928 where the diminutive Fay was dancing wi th friends. That was how she caught Wilbur's attention."I'd seen her on the floor dancing with another girl," he said, sitti ng at home a few days before the Anniversary Mass. "The girl she was danci ng with was so much taller than her…. She was short and cute." Fay cut in. "I wasn't as bad looking as I am now," she joked.The couple "went together" only a few months before they were married M ay 16, 1928. They were 20 years old.In the early years of their marriage, things were tight. It was during t he Depression and jobs were hard to find. Wilbur worked at a tire compa ny repairing and selling tires for many years while Fay stayed home with t heir children."Everybody had hard times," she said. "It didn't hit us alone. It hit ever ybody. It was a bad spell."Now 94, the couple have had four children, two boys and two girls, and exp erienced the death of their eldest son. Wilbur served in World War II alth ough illness kept him from serving overseas. He also converted to Catholic ism from Methodist without telling Fay, as a surprise to his Catholic wif e.The couple lived in Wisconsin for most of their lives although they travel ed a great deal and made winter trips to Florida for many years before fin ally settling here with their daughter, Nancy.They attribute their continued marriage to just getting along."We just seem to click," Wilbur said. "We liked each other and got along g ood together." "It's always been pretty good," Fay added. "He's always be en good to me." Wilbur jumped in."She's not combative," he said. "She won't get mad at anything." Fay laughed at this. "We never argued much," she said. "We never cared to argue."The couple agreed that the hardest time married was during the Depressi on years and the best time is now. They enjoy reading and going to concert s. And each morning the couple goes for a walk together."We don't have to work, we can go wherever we want to go," Fay said. |
