Kettle Moraine's varsity boys golf team, ranked No. 1 in the state by the State Coaches Poll, lived up to that lofty ranking on Saturday as they won the Division 1 championship at the 31-school Lake Country Charity Invite at Western Lakes Golf Club in Pewaukee.

The Lasers won with 303 strokes, defeating Arrowhead (312) by nine shots. Milwaukee Marquette was third at 315.

Many of the top teams in the  state took part. More than $40,000 was raised for the MACC Fund in their fight to defeat childhood cancer.

Kettle Moraine senior Nic Johnson won the individual championship by defeating Arrowhead sophomore John Langhoff on the  third playoff hole. Johnson won the the title with a birdie. Both Johnson and Langhoff shot rounds of even-par 72.

Other KM scores were Ryan Franklin with 74, Tyler Sheveland 76 and Eric Rogers 81.

Other AHS scores were Kyle Driscoll with 77, Matt Ross 78 and Matt McIntosh 85.

Fifteen golfers in the field of 124 shot 79 or better.

Arrowhead's varsity boys track team won the Northstar Classic at Waukesha North last Saturday by defeating talented Brookfield East. AHS won with 151 points and Brookfield East had 108. A total of 16 schools took part.

The Warhawks have won the Northstar title 7 of the past 8 years.

On Monday, May 2, Ten Chimneys Foundation will showcase the lighter side of Russian playwright Anton Chekhov in Chekhov: Two Hours, Four Plays.  The evening play reading, featuring the talents of the Milwaukee Repertory Theater’s Artistic Intern Company, will include four hilariously funny plays that nevertheless show the careful attention to everyday life that fueled Chekhov’s major full-length works.  Pieces to be read include The Dangers of Tobacco, The Proposal, The Festivities, and The Bear.

Anton Chekhov began his career as a short story writer, writing “comic sketches” drawn from everyday Russian life. This comic sensibility never left him, and is shown to its best effect in the short plays that actually made up the main bulk of his theatrical work.  Among Chekhov’s full-length masterpieces is The Seagull, which premiered on Broadway starring Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne alongside a young Uta Hagen.

Chekhov: Two Hours, Four Plays
Monday, May 2 - 7 p.m.
Location: Lunt-Fontanne Program Center at Ten Chimneys in Genesee Depot
Tickets: $15 advance, or $20 at the door
Reservations: (262) 968-4110

Mary Sheridan, coordinator of the Oconomowoc Area Senior Center, announced today that it has received a $20,000 donation for a planned handicap entrance project.

The Center had recently embarked on a fundraising campaign to meet the expected $20,000 cost of the job and had collected approximately $500. About two weeks ago she received a phone call from a woman who said he would like to donate to the cause. The check was received on Friday from the Kenneth and Patricia Thomas Memorial Fund.

For more on this story, read the Thursday edition of the Oconomowoc Focus.

When I was an associate producer at Today's TMJ4, I had the pleasure of working with consumer reporter Lynise Weeks. She was a transplant from New York who made her presence known in the newsroom and the viewing area. She was one of the most generous, kind and caring people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

Lynise was friends with everyone in the newsroom, and when she found out that our morning anchor, Linda Breshears (Marcus), was pregnant with her first child, she organized the most amazing baby shower for her. She laid out quite the spread for the event, but one appetizer she prepared stood out in my mind. I never did get the recipe from Lynise, but this next recipe is a close contender.

If you like savory and sweet, it's sure to please.

Sadly, Lynise died in July 2005 after a long battle with kidney disease.

Baked Brie with Jam

Ingredients

1 large sheet puff pastry dough, a tube of refrigerated crescent rolls may be substituted

1 round or wedge of Brie cheese (do not remove rind)

Raspberry jam, or other sweet jam

Brown sugar

¼ cup maple syrup

Slivered almonds, optional

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Roll out the puff pastry or crescent rolls on a nonstick cookie sheet and place the Brie round or wedge on top of the pastry in the center. Spread the jam over the Brie and fold the dough over top, cutting off any excess dough. Drizzle the maple syrup over the top and sprinkle with a handful of brown sugar and slivered almonds. (If you don't have maple syrup, use melted butter.)

Bake for 25-30 minutes until pastry is golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving. Slice as you would a mini pizza and serve with crackers or apple slices and enjoy the gooey goodness.

Helpful hint

This recipe can also be made without the puff pastry. Just cover the Brie with jam and adjust the baking time to 20-25 minutes. Make sure you bake it in a pie dish sprayed with a nonstick cooking spray.

If you don't like jam, just cover the Brie with brown sugar and almonds.

Waukesha  - Daniel P. Henningsen, 45, of City of Pewaukee, will be incarcerated for the next 27 years for a fatal crash that occured nearly three years on Capitol Drive in the City of Brookfield.

Henningsen, already convicted six times for drunken driving and now convicted for his seventh such offense, was sentenced this afternoon in Waukesha County Circuit Court on charges of homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, two counts of drunken driving while causing injury, possession of marijuana, driving with a revoked driver's license and driving with a prohibited alcohol concentration.

Killed in the crash was Willam E. Gray, 51, of Elm Grove. Gray's wife Kelley, and his sister-in-law Lori Borden were injured. Henningsen was driving west on Capitol Drive at about 81 mph when the van he was driving slammed into the side of Gray's Jeep, which was pulling out from Mountain Drive at the time.

Judge James R. Kieffer sentenced Henningsen to 25 years in prison on the homocide charge to be followed by two years in teh Waukesha County jail for injuring the two passengers in Gray's vehicle. Following incarceration, Henningsen will serve 15 years of extended supervision.

Pewaukee football coach Clay Iverson thought the crazy whirlwind was going to have a disappointing end as he de-boarded a plane that never took off from Chicago on the morning of April 28. Along with PHS defensive coordinator Mike Lecher, Iverson had been presented airfare to New York for the chance of a lifetime by one of his former pupils, but now time was running out.

“I said to Mike, ‘We got this close, but I don’t think we’re going to make it,’” Iverson said. “You lose an hour when you fly out there, and the next plane was supposed to leave at 2.”

The plane finally did leave, putting the duo in New York at 5 p.m. They hustled through the airport, and just as a taxi driver had opened his door for them, another cab collided with the door and pulled it right off.

“We had the best intentions, but maybe we’re bad luck and should just turn around and go home,” Iverson said.

But the coaches did make it to their destination, and the bad luck didn’t last all night. In a matter of hours, Iverson and Lecher were witness as former Pewaukee star J.J. Watt became a member of the National Football League, selected 11th overall by the Houston Texans in the annual draft at Radio City Music Hall.

Coach speak

The event was loaded with highlights. Initially, Iverson and Lecher sat in a friends and family section at the draft and chatted with former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman, now the Texas A&M coach who was on hand to watch one of his players, Von Miller, go No. 2 overall. Even before that, NFL luminaries such as Franco Harris and Jim Taylor had been milling around in the hotel where the two quickly changed clothes upon arrival.

“Especially for Coach Lecher, it was great for him to see some of the guys that he grew up with,” Iverson said. “He got to talk to Jim Taylor a little bit.”

Lecher, who will retire from teaching after this school year but continue coaching has been with Pewaukee’s football program since 1967 and served as defensive coordinator for most of that timeframe. After Iverson accepted the gift from Watt to attend the draft, the two conspired to surprise Lecher with the same gift at a morning lifting session with the football team.

“We were three rows from (analyst Mel) Kiper and it was definitely awesome seats,” Iverson said. “Then they called and said they got another pass and asked if I wanted to come back into the green room area, which is more than we expected and frankly, more than we deserved. It’s different than I thought it would be. It’s tense.”

With agents and television cameras moving throughout the area, Iverson observed the space reserved for draft prospects – including a record 25 invited to attend the draft in 2011.

“JJ handled himself just like a pro,” said Iverson of Watt, who became a front-line playmaker for the Wisconsin Badgers defense during a run to the Rose Bowl this past season. “When the phone rang and JJ picked it up, you could tell he was talking to the GM (of the Texans). That’s the part that’s burned in my memory. To see him with that phone call and to see that emotion is something I will never, ever forget. It’s ten times better than meeting anyone famous … you can’t even describe that moment of watching someone work so hard to get that phone call.”

Sitting and waiting

Iverson admitted surprise that the Texans made the maneuver to draft Watt. After Dallas took another player with the No. 9 pick, Iverson said Watt expected to get taken at No. 17 or No. 18.

“Even on Kiper’s draft board, there was never anything about a top-three need on the defensive line (for the Texans),” Iverson said. “I won’t watch the draft the same way again. I’ll definitely watch it with a lot more empathy for those kids who are falling (in the draft). It’s real special to see those young men get that phone call and watch their dreams come true.”

Iverson returned the green room during the draft's second day and reported a much lighter atmosphere, and he observed Randall Cobb get the news that he had been selected by the Green Bay Packers with the final choice of the second round. Many other NFL legends were on hand, including Richard Dent, Charles Haley and Barry Sanders.

“The feeling back there is like right before a football game, anticipation and tenseness and maybe a little more frustrating that you can’t do anything about it,” Iverson said. “Fans down there are going to be amazed at how athletic a kid he is. You’re going to have all these playmakers (on defense in Houston), and it’s going to be fun to watch.

“It was really a great two days to be there; it was nice to be there as representatives of the Pewaukee school district.”

The Pewaukee girls soccer team improved to 9-0 and took complete control of the Woodland Conference with a 4-2 win over New Berlin Eisenhower on Tuesday night.

With the win, the Pirates have now defeated each of the next four best squads in the league, according to overall standings. The team already logged its first-ever win over Wauwatosa West this season, as well as victories over Whitnall and Shorewood.

Abbey Toureene scored twice, including a crucial goal in the second half just 40 seconds after Eisenhower had pulled to within 2-1. Dayna Costello and Raleah Schaeffer added additional tallies.

Maddie Dallman lofted a high-arcing free kick from 40 yards out, just beneath the crossbar to account for the only goal of the game as Arrowhead topped visiting Kettle Moraine on Tuesday, 1-0.

Dallman, who also keyed a defensive attack that did not allow a shot on goal after halftime, was fouled after intercepting the ball at midfield and converted at the 62-minute mark, her first score of the year.

The Warhawks moved to 5-1-1 and 1-1 in Classic 8 Conference play. The Lasers likewise hold a 1-1 league record and 6-3 mark overall.

Arrowhead's varsity girls fastpitch softball team, thanks to a pair of league victories on Monday and Tuesday, moved into sole possession of first place in the Classic 8 Conference standings.

AHS defeated Waukesha North on Monday, 20-7 and then nipped Catholic Memorial on Tuesday, 6-5. The Warhawks improved to 5-1 in league play and 8-1 overall. Milwaukee Pius is second at 5-2 and Kettle Moraine is third at 4-2.

In the win over North, Kelsey Wasilczuk had two hits and four RBIs to lead the winners. Jordy Brengosz drove in three runs.

On Tuesday against Memorial, Alexis Panaro and Carly Brengosz drove in runs in a two-run sixth inning to lead the Warhawks to a come-from-behind win. Panaro, Carly Brengosz and Kara Olsen all had two hits for AHS.

Kettle Moraine's varsity girls fastpitch softball team rolled over visiting Milwaukee Pius Tuesday in a Classic 8 Conference game, 17-6. Katie McCann hit a walk-off three-run homer over the left field fence to end the game in the bottom of the sixth inning.

KM is now 4-2 in league play, one game behind Arrowhead (5-1) in the loss column. Pius is 5-2.

McCann had a monster day for the Lasers. She had four hits and seven RBIs. The hard-hitting second baseman had two doubles, a triple and homer.

Candace Rupnick, Hannah Foltz, Maddie Churches and Jordan Fink all had three hits for KM.

Oconomowoc's varsity girls fastpitch softball team, after starting the season with a perfect 8-0 record, got hammered Tuesday by visiting Watertown in a Wisconsin Little Ten Conference game, 19-3. Watertown had nine consecutive hits in a 14-run, fifth inning rally.

Renate Meckl had two hits for the losing Raccoons. Meckl is batting .667 on the season

The 8-0 start was the best beginning to a season in school history for OHS.

Oh, those evil nuns in Sauk County!

Seems the sisters, who have taken vows of silence and spend their days making communion wafers,  are known to vote by absentee ballot in every election.  The ballots are dropped off during each voting cycle by the town clerk, the nuns select their candidates, and the same town clerk then picks them up in a sealed envelope. 

There are 18 nuns living this life of peace and quiet at the Lady of Our Valley Monastery.

Well, seems the Kloppenburg team noticed that the nuns absentee ballots didn't have witness signatures on them.  (Keep in mind that although there are rules on the books dictating that every absentee ballot have a signature from a witness, it is questionable as to whether or not such enforcement - from the Government Accountability Board -  always occurs.)  However, in this case, the Kloppenburg team insisted that the ballots be discounted.  And they succeeded - for the time being.

The canvas board and the town clerk who works with the nuns were disturbed by the unbelievable and distrusting manner in which the Kloppenburg team insisted on disenfranchising the nuns.  After all, anyone think that these nuns belong to moveon.org?  or ACORN?  were they going out and passing out cigarettes in an effort to get people to vote for their candidate?  slashing tires of the opposing party so they cannot get to the polls? falsifying information on their own ballots?  voting twice?  (maybe there are only 9 nuns in the Monastery instead of the 18 mentioned!).  Ridiculous.

The town clerk was adamant that she collected the ballots from the nuns the way she always does.  She stated that their votes were legitimate and should be allowed.  However, the Kloppenburg lawyers prevailed and the canvas board relented, tossing out the ballots.

By the way, 4 ballots were for Kloppenburg, while 14 went to Prosser.

The canvas board has appealed the decision to not allow the nun's votes.

Many seem to feel, and I agree, that the Kloppenburg camp is nitpicking small discrepancies in an effort to make them bigger ones.  When the final tallies come in  - once again showing Joanne Kloppenburg lost - the lawyers for Kloppenburg will then take the matter to court.  The goal - to hold up seating elected Supreme Court Justice David Prosser and keep him from voting on the budget repair bill and other important legislation that may be presented. 

Can the Kloppenburg camp sink any lower?  Nuns?  Sure hope Archbishop Jerome Listecki dotted all his i's and crossed all his t's on his ballot... 

Osama bin Laden is dead. America did not give up in its determination to kill or capture the world’s most sought after Islam terrorist coward.

The questions surrounding this event is how much data can we get from bin Laden’s compound and those that were captured. Will another hate-filled Muslim take over and continue the senseless and cowardly attacks on Americans and the Jews plus murdering daily their own Muslims like bin Laden did for decades?

Whatever the future holds, the coward is dead. May he rot in hell. And he will since that is the only justice this man deserves.
