WAUKESHA — A Brook-field man has been chargedafter he allegedly wasdrunk while he was armedat the Elm Grove PoliceDepartment earlier thisyear.
Jeffrey Munson, 58, wascharged Thursday inWaukesha County CircuitCourt with possessing afirearm while intoxicated,a misdemeanor punishableupon conviction by up tonine months in jail. He wasordered to appear in courtMay 20.
A criminal complaintsaid Munson was at theElm Grove Police Depart-ment for unspecified train-ing March 11 when he wentout to his truck for pens,didn’t see his vehicle in the
lot, then reported it wasstolen. But he alsoappeared to be “overlyexcited, laughing” aboutthe matter, police officersobserved.
Officers did indeed findhis vehicle in the lot out-side, the complaint said.But they also observed hisspeech was extremelyslurred, his eyes wereglossy and bloodshot, and
there was an odor of intox-icants coming from hisbreath.
Munson underwent fieldsobriety tests and gave abreath test that showed aresult of 0.17 — twice thestate’s legal limit fordrivers — and had a 9 mmhandgun holstered at hisright hip, which had around chambered, the com-plaint said.
WAUKESHA — State Rep.Scott Allen, R-Waukesha,has proposed a budgetamendment that wouldrequire state agencies toreport on statutorily andadministratively requiredfees.
The budget amendmentwould require agencies tosubmit to the governor andlegislature, along with itsbudget request, a detailedreport which lists each feethe agency is authorized tocharge, along with theamount or method of calcu-lation, an identification ofstatutory authority,whether the agency chargesthe fee, whether the fee haschanged over time, and
agency rec-o m m e n d a -tions regard-ing the fee,according toa pressrelease.
Allen saidthere aremore than
16,100 references to fees bystate statute and adminis-trative code and it does notappear they are updated bylegislation or the adminis-trative rulemaking processin a timely fashion.
“For instance, the fee for‘motor vehicles operatedfor hire in intrastate com-merce for carrying passen-gers’ has not been updated
since 1975,’” Allen said.The proposal now goes to
the Joint Finance Commit-tee to determine whetherthe idea will go into thestate budget.
“Because the fees havenot been updated, it is like-ly that they have not keptup with the cost of infla-tion, or do not account forlowered costs throughadvancements in technolo-gy or market factors,” Allensaid. “We owe it to Wiscon-sin taxpayers and thosewho use government ser-vices to charge user fees ina responsible manner. Thisis the type of commonsense governing that Wis-consin residents expect.”

SUMMIT — All her life,Sally Roach said, she hasstruggled with her weight.But she is struggling nolonger after losing 400pounds after choosing tohave bariatric surgery inMay of 2017.
Roach, a Pewaukee native,said she was camping —one of her favorite activities— when she realized shewas having trouble gettingup from her air mattress onthe ground.
“I thought I was going tohave to have somebody helpme get up off the ground,”Roach said. “That was kindof my ‘oh my god’ momentthat something needed tochange.”
At the time of the surgeryRoach was 610.9 pounds, shesaid.
“I had tried lots of timesand lots of ways to loseweight,” Roach said. “I hadsuccess and at times lostover 100 pounds and gainedit back. Nothing reallystuck.”
Sick of not being able tolive her life to the fullest,Roach decided to look intobariatric surgery at AuroraHealth Care at Summit. Shechose to have the Roux-en-Yprocedure, which reducesthe size of the stomachusing staples and bypasses apart of the intestine to helpwith weight loss, said Auro-ra Health Care General Sur-geon Peter Garza.
Garza said an averageamount of weight lost is70% of the patient’s excessfat. With the help of ahealthy diet and her newfavorite form of exercise,kickboxing, Roach stunnedher doctors, weighing in at209.3 pounds.
“I’m trying things I’dnever thought I’d try,”Roach said. “The differencein energy I have now isamazing compared topresurgery to now.”
Garza said bariatricsurgery is only a single toolthat helped Roach and oth-ers lose weight.
“I don’t view the proce-dure necessarily as the rea-son people lose weight,”Garza said. “It’s just a toolthey utilize to help with howthey modify their lifestyle.”
Garza said a healthy dietand exercise are just asimportant when patients gothrough the surgery.
“The body may require xamount of calories for theday, but that doesn’t meanyou have to eat that manycalories a day,” Garza said.“If you eat less calories thanwhat you use, your bodymakes up that difference byusing its energy storage,which is fat.”
Support systems are alsovital in whether or not apatient succeeds in losingthe weight they want toshed off, Garza said.
“Patients need that sup-
port, whether it’s throughonline support groups orpersonally. Our programhas face-to-face supportgroups that meet monthly,”Garza said. “That’s a bigpart of success, just feelinglike they are supported indoing what they are doing.”
Roach said her biggestpiece of advice to peoplethinking about having thesurgery or those about to isto just be patient.
“People get impatientafter surgery too becauseyou want to be dropping thishuge amount all at once,”she said. “You have to bepatient with your body andit’ll eventually catch up.”
After losing all of theweight she has, Roach saidshe is exploring new thingsin life.
“This summer I’m bring-ing my Girl Scouts on a tripto Georgia,” Roach said.“We’re planning a bunch ofthese to do in Savannah andwe plan on walking thewhole time.”
And she has even gottenback to camping.
“Last October we went toDevil’s Lake on a scoutingtrip,” Roach said. “I hadn’t
actually done the hike sinceI was in middle school, butthis past year I went and didthe hike for the first time ina long time.”

WAUKESHA — Permit-ting and more permitting —that’s the state of Wauke-sha’s Lake Michigan diver-sion project, WaukeshaWater Utility General Man-ager Dan Duchniak told aFreeman reporter Thursday.
“The best analogy thatI’ve heard from one of ourconsultants is, we’re kind oflike that duck on the pondthat looks like they’re just
floating on the water, buttheir feet are going crazy,’”Duchniak said. “There are alot of things behind thescenes with regards to per-mitting.”
The Common Council alsopassed two resolutions,which has allowed them tobegin the process of acquir-ing necessary easementsand land as part of the pro-ject, Duchniak added. Thereare approximately 14 ease-ments they’ll need for waterproject infrastructure, noneof which will cause proper-
ty owners to relocate or theremoval of buildings.
“We’re just acquiring someadditional land that’s adja-cent to the right of way with-in the setbacks so that we canhave the pipeline within thatarea,” Duchniak said.
City officials are nowworking with New Berlin tofinalize the purchase of the8.5 acre parcel they willneed to acquire for thereservoir and pump stationin Minooka Park, which willhelp convey water intoWaukesha.
