BY THOMAS J.MCKILLENMANAGING EDITOR

The Slinger Village Board got a first look for a poten-tial development in area east of I-41 and west ofHillside Road of during its Oct. 7 meeting.

The potential development would be located on a9.56 acre parcel north of American Eagle Drive andsouth of Stoney Lane. There are 10 eight-unit buildingsproposed which are identical or similar to the HillsideTerrace development three-fourths of a mile east onCedar Bluff Way. According to information from DittmarRealty, the tenant profile would be for "young profes-sionals and empty nesters looking to downsize, with amedian family income of approximately $75,000 (per)year."

Kevin Dittmar of Dittmar Realty said when the itemwould typically go to the Plan Commission first, therewas a scheduling matter that resulted in the item notbeing before the commission until late November and atthe Village Board in December.

"There's so much background work we have to getdone if we want make this happen in terms of con-struction in 2020 and lining up of contractors and com-mitments -- we would have missed a construction sea-

son if the village had not even seen what we're doinguntil two months," Dittmar said. Dittmar said he waslooking for feedback from the Village Board about theproposal.

The project is a joint venture between Dittmar andSiepmann Realty. Dttmar said the 9.56 acre site hasbeen vacant 2003. He said most of the parcel has neverbeen developed with sewer and water. Dittmar said thesite was intended to be the site of a big box retailerwith multiple outlots.

"That just never came to be, didn't come to be backin the mid-2000s, probably because there wasn'tenough people around here to support it. Since then,the landscape of retail has changed so dramatically,brick and mortar buildings just aren't happening muchanymore except in high, high traffic population areas -- people are buying everything online," Dttmar said.

Dittmar added there are available commercial areasin the village already, which is why residential is con-sidered for the site. He said they would want to get thefirst phase of buildings along American Eagle Driveconstructed "right away." He said the project wouldcreate a minimum of $10 million in assessment for theTIF.

The development would require a change to the vil-lage Comprehensive Plan to allow for a rural, two lanesection along Stoney Lane between the driveway for theproject and Hillside Road.The item will go to the PlanCommission for the changes to the Comprehensive Plan.

Village President Russell Brandt said the parcelwon't be developed for commercial. He said the wholearea was going to be a big box site.

"We know that's not going to happen," Brandt said.He said "this fits with the development in that area.Kevin (Dittmar) has produced a good product on theother side of (Hwy.) C. I think as housing continued tobe in great demand in Slinger, this should be success-ful."

Trustee Lee Fredricks said he likes the conceptualplan for the proposal while Trustee Rick Kohl said "Ihave no issues with it."

The parcel does fall within the village's fourth taxincremental finance (TIF) district. In a TIF, taxes nor-mally directed toward local government units (munici-pal, school district, technical school district, county)are instead used to pay for infrastructure improve-ments, with the local government units later benefitingfrom the increased property value generated by the

The Slinger Village Board approvedadoption of the Downtown Vision andStrategy Document during its Oct. 7meeting.

According to the resolutionapproved by the Village Board, on Dec.3, 2018 the board authorized staff towork with Vandewalle & Associates toproduce the document. The resolutionstates "the Village Board concluded thatthis document represents an accuratesummary of the Village’s vision for itstraditional downtown area" and "formaladoption of this document will empha-size the importance of continuingaction in the development and improve-ment of the Village’s downtown area."

The document was included in theagenda packet for the Sept. 16 VillageBoard meeting. The vision statementlisted states: "Downtown Slinger is theplace that Slinger residents go to meet,connect, and have fun. Centered onSlinger’s origin at the crossroads ofWashington Street and Kettle MoraineDrive, today it is home to a dynamicmix of entertainment, dining, personalservices, gathering places, new housing,and recreation options."

According to the document, morethan 30 members of the public attend-

ed an open house held on March 27,2019. The document states that duringthe open house there was support forredevelopment efforts such as rehabili-tation and restoration of existing build-ings, infill development, screening ofoutdoor uses, and public parking; andimprovements to Washington Street.

The document states that duringpublic workshop in January, statementswere made indicating that "downtownshould be a place for meeting up, enter-tainment, (and) socializing." It indi-cates there is a need for public and pri-vate physical gathering places in thedowntown, strong support for aestheticimprovements and additional publicparking and strong support for anactive village role.

The document states that projectsrecommended to be implementedinclude a downtown grant program (at acost of $50,000), Community Park for-mal gathering space ($325,000),Community Public Park parking/multi-use space ($275,000), a CommunityPark amphitheater ($350,000),streetscaping along Kettle Moraine Drive($36,000), streetscaping alongWashington Street ($290,000), improv-ing on-street parking ($10,000), and

evaluating the potential for sharedparking (less than $5,000).

The total cost of improvements rec-ommended in the document is$1,665,000. The report deducts$453,750 from the original amount onthe assumption that grants, donationsand other funding sources could fund aportion of the improvements. With theremaining amount of $1,211,250, thereport states that "7 highly-visible,achievable and catalytic projects" couldbe completed between a three-to-fouryear period.

took at a 7-3 lead with 40 seconds left in the fourthquarter when Logan Homberg and Connor Goodwin con-nected on a 24-yard pass play. Ayden Dauterman then

added a 45-yard field goal with 6:39 left in the fourthquarter. Slinger improved to 6-2 with the win.

When three crossover deaths occurred alongInterstate 41 in 2018, Washington County official andthe public sought support from the WisconsinDepartment of Transportation (DOT) for additionalsafety measures along the road. As a result, the DOTwill be installing a new cable barrier system onInterstate 41 between Cabela’s and the Dodge Countyline sooner than originally planned. The first portionof the project from STH 144 to CTH K will be complet-ed by Nov. 15. The remaining portions will be com-pleted by October of 2020.

“We’ve felt that safety improvements here were apriority for years,” said Scott Schmidt, Highway

Commissioner. “The three crossover fatalities duringthe summer of 2018 on the stretch between Highway144 and Highway 28 were really the straw that causedus to double our efforts.”

Following multiple accidents and deaths last sum-mer, Commissioner Schmidt, the Sheriff’s Departmentand County Administration engaged in conversationswith Senator Stroebel, Representative Gundrum andthe public. Local leaders and organizations requestedWisDOT take action on the stretch immediately. TheWashington County Farm Bureau passed a resolutionrequesting action and many members of the publiccame to support the projects throughout the process.

“We thank the WisDOT for their support on the twoprojects to tackle the long problematic cross-over acci-dents on I-41,” said County Administrator Schoemann.“This project is a direct result of the WashingtonCounty Board passing priorities of safe and securecommunities and effective mobility and reliable infra-structure.”

WisDOT has confirmed that cable guards will beadded to the entire stretch before October of 2020.

The county reminds motorists to be mindful ofworkers installing the cable barrier system. In addi-tion, the public should be aware of potential lane clo-sures on I-41 during the projects.

NEWS & EVENTS

A warm fire can make even the cold-est winter day more enjoyable. Fireplacesmay not get much use in spring or sum-mer, but come late fall and throughoutthe winter, the fireplace can be a greatplace for families to gather.

Before fireplace season hits fullswing, homeowners might want to brushup on a few fireplace facts so they cansafely enjoy nights spent sitting by thecrackling flames.

The Chimney Safety Institute ofAmerica advises homeowners with fire-places to hire a CSIA-certified chimneysweep to clean their fireplaces. After alengthly period of non-use, various issuescould be affecting the chimney, many ofwhich might not be noticeable to anuntrained eye. Professional, certifiedchimney sweeps have extensive knowl-edge of fireplaces, making them valuableresources who can let homeowners knowif any safety issues developed since fire-places were last used. The National

Protection Agency recommends thatchimneys be swept at least once per year.

A full inspection of the chimneymight be in order as well. Chimney serv-ice technicians will conduct thoroughexaminations of readily accessible por-tions of the chimney exterior and interi-or and accessible portions of the appli-ance and the chimney connection. TheCSIA recommends that homeowners whoplan to use their chimneys as they havein the past request a Level 1 inspection,which will examine the soundness of thechimney structure and flue as well as thebasic appliance installation and connec-tions. Technicians also will verify if thechimney is free of obstruction and com-bustible deposits.

Homeowners also should inspect theirchimney dampers before lighting theirfirst fires of the season. Dampers shouldopen and close smoothly. If not, a servicetechnician can help fix or replace thedamper.

Firewood is another thing homeown-ers must consider before lighting theirfirst fires of the season. The CSIA saysthat well-seasoned firewood works best,noting that wood that is not well-sea-soned will produce more smoke thanheat. In addition, the home improvementresource This Old House recommendsusing dense wood that’s been split andstored in a high and dry place for at leastsix months. Oak is an example of densewood that, when stored properly, canmake for an enjoyable fireplace experi-

ence. Avoid softwoods like pine. Pine canproduce a lot of creosote, which is abyproduct of wood combustion. Creosoteis highly flammable, and as it builds upin a chimney, the risk for a chimney fireincreases. Choosing the right wood, mak-ing sure it’s well-seasoned and having achimney professionally cleaned canreduce the risk of a creosote-relatedchimney fire. A Level 1 inspection shoulddetermine if there are potentially dan-gerous levels of creosote deposits in thechimney.

The cost of owning an automobileextends beyond maintenance and fuelingcosts. One of the biggest expensesmotorists must plan for is auto insurance,the cost of which can vary greatlydepending on geography and driver his-tory.

But no matter where drivers live orwhat their histories are, there are somesimple ways for drivers to save money ontheir monthly insurance premiums.

• Reassess your driving habits. Autoinsurance companies consider how manymiles drivers drive per year when deter-mining the cost of an insurance policy.Many drivers provide this informationwhen opening a policy, but then neverupdate it when renewing or extendingtheir policies. If you drive less now thanyou did when you opened your policy,notify your insurance company and youmight end up paying less each month,especially if your daily commute is con-siderably shorter than it used to be.

• Check your credit rating. Anotherway to save money on your auto insur-ance is to check your credit rating and, ifnecessary, take steps to improve yourcredit score. Credit rating is another vari-able insurance companies use to deter-mine drivers’ premiums, and a good cred-it rating can save drivers a substantialamount of money on their policies. Ifyour credit rating has improved since youopened your policy, contact your insur-

ance company and you might see the costof your insurance reduced dramatically.It’s also good to periodically view yourcredit report to determine if there are anyerrors that are negatively affecting yourrating. Such errors may be inflating yourauto insurance premiums.

• Hit the books. No matter how manyyears you have behind the wheel, yourauto insurance company may offer youdiscounts if you periodically take defen-sive driving courses. Such classes areinexpensive, but they may save you asmuch as 10 percent on the cost of yourauto insurance policy. Young, inexperi-enced drivers and seniors tend to benefitfrom defensive driving courses more thanother drivers.

• Change your policy. Drivers also cansave money by making changes to theirpolicies. Raising your deductible is per-haps the easiest way to save money with-out affecting your coverage, and such adecision can save you as much as 15 per-cent depending on how high a deductibleyou’re willing to pay. Drivers whose carsare older and completely paid off mightwant to drop their collision insurance,which pays you if your car is damaged ordestroyed in an accident. Such insurancewon’t yield much in return if your car isnot worth much money, and dropping itfrom your policy can save you between 10and 15 percent.

Automobiles are significant invest-ments. According to Kelley Blue Book,the average transaction price for lightvehicles was $34,968 in January 2017,marking a 3 percent increase from just ayear earlier.

The decision to spend tens of thou-sands of dollars on a new vehicle is notone consumers should take lightly. Oncedrivers purchase their new vehicles, theycan protect their investments and getgreater returns on those investments byprioritizing maintenance and taking sim-ple yet effective steps to extend the livesof their cars and trucks.

1. Drive defensively. Aggressivedriving is dangerous and can haveadverse effects on a vehicle. When driv-ing, always obey posted speed limits andavoid accelerating and deceleratingquickly. Such a style of driving can strainvehicle engines and drive trains whilenegatively affecting fuel efficiency andwearing down brakes, states the NationalInstitute of Automotive ServiceExcellence.

2. Maintain a clean vehicle. Carwashes do more than just clean a vehicle.

Routine washing and waxing can removedirt that, if left on a vehicle, can gradu-ally scratch paint and contribute to chipsand rust. Over time, rust can affect vehi-cle performance and may even compro-mise the safety of drivers and their pas-sengers if bad enough frame rust affectsstructural integrity. Routine washingalso can remove road salt from vehicles.Salt can build up during winter whenroads are routinely treated during andafter snowstorms. Road salt can beextremely corrosive and, if left unre-moved from a vehicle, can contribute torust that ultimately can cause extensivedamage to a vehicle.

3. Routinely check tire pressure.Many of today’s new vehicles alert driv-

ers when tire pressure is low. Driversshould not ignore such warnings, as lowtire pressure can affect engine perform-ance by forcing it to work harder thanshould be necessary. Engines that areforced to work harder than they need tolikely won’t last as long as those that runefficiently. Low tire pressure also nega-tively affects fuel efficiency, potentiallycosting drivers substantial amounts ofmoney over time. Drivers of older vehi-cles without tire pressure alerts shouldroutinely check tire pressure and keeptires adequately inflated. Vehicles thatare slow to accelerate from resting posi-tions may not have enough air in theirtires.

4. Adhere to maintenance guide-

lines. Drivers may have heard thattoday’s vehicles were built to go longerperiods of time between oil changes andtuneups than the vehicles of yesteryear.But drivers should still adhere to manu-facturer-recommended maintenanceguidelines. Upon buying new vehicles,drivers should read their owners’ manualsto determine recommended maintenanceintervals, and stick to those intervals foras long as they have their vehicles.

Cognizant of the sizable investmentsthey’re making when buying new vehi-cles, many drivers want to get as manymiles out of their vehicles as possible.Simple maintenance and safe drivinghabits can go a long way toward keepingvehicles on the road for years to come.

Impaired visibility can be a safety hazard while driv-ing. Everything from sun glare to hail can affect a dri-ver's ability to see the road and navigate it effectively.Before drivers get behind the wheel, they should makenote of their local forecast and make a plan for what todo if rain, snow or other conditions make it challengingto drive.

The International Association of Traffic and SafetySciences indicates that, based on an examination ofcrash test data conducted by the National Oceanic andAtmospheric Administration, the "likelihood of a crashincreases during periods of low visibility, despite thetendency for less traffic and for lower speeds to prevailduring these times."

Drivers can take several steps to improve their visi-bility when driving in poor weather conditions.

• Inspect and change windshield wiper blades.Wipers are instrumental in clearing precipitation away

from the windshield. If they're not functioning proper-ly, wipers cannot do their jobs. Drivers should replacetheir wipers at the first indication that they are nolonger effective. In some conditions, wipers can freezeor stick. Drivers should then pull over and clean thewipers manually.

• Clear obstructions. Always make sure the wind-shield is clear before driving. This can include removingice and snow in the winter and cleaning off mud or bugsplatter in the spring and summer. Use the front andrear defrost if condensation fogs up windshields andwindows.

• Slow down. Foul weather can reduce drivers' abili-ty to see far into the distance. Drivers should alwaysdrive slower in inclement weather in order to improvereaction time.

• Top off fluids. Always keep the windshield washerreservoir full and keep extra fluid in the trunk. In addi-

tion, look for a fluid that does not freeze in very coldtemperatures.

• Learn how to drive in fog. Each year, more than38,700 vehicle crashes occur in fog, states the FederalHighway Administration. Travelers Insurance recom-mends slowing down, staying focused and using regularheadlights and not high beams when driving in fog.

• Go out only if necessary. In snowy or icy condi-tions, drive only if it's absolutely necessary, as snow andice can impair visibility and make roads slick, says AAA.

• Avoid driving at dusk and dawn. The human eyecan have trouble adjusting to rapidly changing light anddarkness conditions, which are common at dusk anddawn. If possible, drivers should make trips during theheart of the day, especially if poor lighting conditionstypically make it difficult for them to drive.

Drivers can take steps to improve visibility wheninclement weather makes roadways hard to navigate.

Washington County, FRIENDS, Inc. sign agreement to improve servicesWashington County Children and Families and

Friends, Inc. recently signed a Memorandum ofUnderstanding (MOU) earlier this fall to set ongoingexpec tations of both agencies to the community andto outline the most effective way to provide servicesand care for the families served.

“Child Protective Services and Friends, Inc. havehad a positive, long standing relationship,” said JulieDriscoll Human Services Director. “This agreement rep-resented a renewed focus on streamlining communica-tion and ensuring that safety and therapeutic servic-es for kids and families experiencing both child mal-treatment and domestic abuse are coordinated to thehighest degree possible.”

There is a well-established overlap between domes-tic abuse and the maltreatment of children.Nationally, the reported rate of overlap between vio-lence against children and violence against women inthe same family is 30-60 percent. Studies also showthat children who witness domestic abuse have dra-

matic physiological changes to their brain and experi-ence similar trauma to that of physical abuse.

“Yet, there are recognized barriers to providing thebest care possible like confidentiality laws,” addedFriends, Inc. Executive Director Kate Nickel. “We werehappy to be one of three partnerships within the statethat received an award from the WisconsinDepartment of Children and Families and End DomesticAbuse WI for technical assistance to break down thesebarriers.”

“Partnering to ensure the community’s basic needsare met providing care and assistance to improve thecircumstances of those at-risk is a high priority for usand through this effort, we believe that we willenhance the safety of our children in their homes,”added Driscoll.

The Washington County Human Services Committeewill hear from Children and Families and Friends, Inc.at their standing meeting in October. The agreementwas signed at the end of last month.

Washington County Children and Families - Theservices of the Children and Families division supportand enhance safe, responsible family functioning andthe protection of children and our community. Wehelp families to identify unsafe/risky behaviors andovercome struggles that limit ability to properly carefor their children, including those challenged by dis-abilities.

West Bend receives grant for downtown Riverwalk improvementOpening of the newly renovated Riverwalk on the

east bank of the Milwaukee River in downtown WestBend has fueled excitement over plans to reconstructthe Riverwalk on the opposite bank of the river.

The concept plan for the west bank DowntownRiverwalk was unveiled earlier this fall. Improvementsinclude areas for the public to sit and relax along theriver, an accessible fishing deck, a kayak launch, anda new bike/pedestrian path under the WashingtonStreet bridge that will link the Riverwalk trail indowntown West Bend to the existing trail north ofWashington Street.

“The City of West Bend is grateful to the Fund for

Lake Michigan for this design award. Our community,prides itself on both quality of life and a strong down-town business district, so there is widespread supportand anticipation for the west bank reconstruction,”said West Bend Mayor Sadownikow.

As part of the design, the engineering firm ShortElliott Hendrickson (SEH) Inc. is investigating ways toaddress water quality issues posed by stormwaterrunoff from nearby streets, roofs, and parking lotsthat flows directly into the Milwaukee River. Thedesign will include green infrastructure to capture andtreat runoff in the immediate area of the Riverwalkarea. SEH is also exploring the possibility of incorpo-

rating stormwater treatment for runoff that flows intothe project area from outside of the Riverwalk. TheFund for Lake Michigan has generously awarded a$100,000 grant to the city to help pay for projectdesign and engineering.

Fund for Lake Michigan Executive Director VickiElkin said “The West Bend project is an opportunity toachieve long-term measurable improvements in waterquality while supporting the City’s recreational andeconomic goals. We are excited to fund it and to seemore and more municipalities address their develop-ment needs in a way that promotes a sustainable LakeMichigan.”
