Racine Community Foundation filming
Village President and Administrator Featured
Racine Community Foundation,
through their competitive grant pro-
gram, has provided tens of thousands of
dollars to activities and projects in the
Village of Waterford. From supporting
River Rhythms to funding the library
programming and the rain garden to
giving $40,000 toward construction of
canoe/kayak launches around the Wa-
terford and Rochester dams, the organi-
zation has made a commitment to en-
hancing the quality of life for Village
residents and visitors.
The foundation asked Tom
Roanhouse, President, and
Rebecca Ewald, Administra-
tor, to share the story of
RCF’s contributions to the
community and the changes
these grants have made for the Village.
A film crew interviewed the two by the
library’s rain garden and village launches.
“We were thrilled to participate,” said
Ewald, “RCF has made
a huge impact in our
community and we’re
proud to have them as a
partner as they continue
their outreach in west-
ern Racine County.
They have inspired us to find new op-
portunities to enhance the qualify of life
for our residents.”

This is a story about community celebration on TWO fronts:
Civic Dynamics and Civic Volunteerism . . . and together they
equal Civic Pride!
Perhaps, Waterfordians take it for granted. I hope not. But, to
out-of-towners, the IT, the sense of place, our identity, is read-
ily recognized — a glowing civic achievement. What’s the IT?
Well, IT is the number and diversity of Big Events that unfold
annually in our river community of nearly 5400, telling others
that we are people who do things, enjoy life, and are proud of
our community.
Take a minute and reflect on what happens here for residents
to enjoy. Let’s name a few: Balloonfest, Full Moon Five Miler,
Absolutely Waterford’ River’s Edge Art Walk, Winter Wonder-
land Parade, Lions July 4th Parade, Chicken Barbecue and
Tractorcade, Family Picnic Day, River Rhythms, and AW’s newest event, the Pooch Parade. Not to mention
church festivals, car shows, school sports and events, and the numerous youth sporting events at Whitford Park.
My absolute favorite feedback comment, which was shared by someone in a neighboring community, “You Wa-
terford people do the neatest things!” A shiver of pride went down my spine at hearing that.
This is Civic Dynamics at its best— “Waterford people doing the neatest things!”
Crowds and crowds of people attend these many events and it brings me to storyline number two - Civic Volun-
teerism, with the creation of a Waterford Police Reserve, delivered by everyday people stepping up to physically
support our police department. Volunteerism—another great Waterford tradition!
The Waterford Police Reserve was officially formed in January and presently has six members and will eventually
have a full complement of 15 members. Reserve members receive training, attend regular meetings and are issued
uniforms and two-way radios.
The mission of the Waterford Police Reserve, specifically, is to “help support community events mostly through
traffic and crowd control and to offer ride-a-along support with the patrol officers,” says Waterford Police Chief
Tom Ditscheit.
The program was developed through funds donated to the Waterford Police Department and are used mostly to
outfit members of the Police Reserves, according to the chief. Reserve members are volunteers, not paid for their
service.
Recently, reserve members assisted with Balloonfest and the Full Moon 5-Mile race. “An example of the reserve’s
contribution and value to the community was illustrated at Balloonfest,” Ditschiet told me. “The police depart-
ment had three service calls in 10-minutes on Saturday night and officers had to leave the grounds and their traf-
fic control assignments. The reserves stepped in and we did not miss a beat, especially with traffic control.”
Ditscheit said the Reserve volunteers are people “who wanted to get involved in their community and police
work. Maybe, at some point they wanted to be in law enforcement, but for whatever reason never had the op-
portunity.”
Whatever the duty assignment, Police Reserve service is invaluable. “Whatever the situation, in addition to help-
ing with patrol or crowd and traffic control, we also get another set of eyes,” said Chief Ditscheit
The members are: Samuel Heitl, Adam R. Smikowski, Erik M. Unmuth, Leslie A Strickland, Jerry F. Jones and
Jason Martin. Their service and contribution to our community ultimately translates into CIVIC PRIDE!
Thanks to All. And thank you to the many volunteers who plan, organize, and staff the wonderful array of com-
munity events that we can all feel so proud of.

Village Meeting
Updates on Opposition to RCDD drawdown Requests
A public meeting held on Tuesday, August 2nd opened with
Village President, Tom Roanhouse addressing confusion
about drawdowns and stated that the meeting was not
about the over winter drawdown of the impoundment
north of the Waterford Dam, as proposed by the Waterford
Waterways Management District to kill lake weeds.
This meeting was about drawdowns of the Fox River between
the Waterford and Rochester dams as requested by the Racine
County Drainage District (RCDD).
RCDD obtained DNR permits
to drawdown the Fox River
for the past two years. Mem-
bers of a citizen's group op-
posed to these drawdowns and
Village staff provided an up-
date on the status of the oppo-
sition efforts. People from the
Village and surrounding com-
munities interested in preserving
the fishery and recreation activi-
ties on the river attended, along
with Jonathan Delagrave, Ra-
cine County Executive and state
Rep. David Craig, and Sen. Van
Wanggaard.
The meeting then focused on two distinct issues:
1. Drawdowns of the river between the dams for drainage
canal maintenance, specifically dredging; and
2. A request to permanently draw down the river every
winter from October to March to address RCDD's con-
tention of canal bank erosion and potential flooding.
First issue - RCDD has drawn down the river for the last two
years between October and March to dredge the middle sec-
tion of the Wind Lake/Goose Lake Branch canal, which runs
from Wind Lake to the Fox River, but it has not performed
dredging. The district is entering the third year of a five year
permit to dredge, although they do need to request a permit to
draw down every year. Mechanical dredging is the method used
and it requires banks to be frozen to accommodate heavy exca-
vation equipment. Recent mild winters have prevented that.
The second drawdown request - the "Forever" drawdown is
sought by the RCDD to prevent bank erosion caused by ice
dams which they claim pulls soil and vegetation into the canals.
They also claim that it will prevent potential flooding.
Members of the Citizen's group have educated themselves
on the issue and shared their findings at the meeting, assert-
ing that the river does not need to be drawn down at all for
either reason the RCDD is stating. The Village also noted
the investment being made in the riverfront — canoe/kayak
launches, park improvements, and work with organizations
in Illinois and the National Park Service to develop a two-
state Fox River Water Trail. These efforts are tools for eco-
nomic development and downtown revitalization.
The presentation included information about legislation that
was introduced last session to give drainage districts greater
power and flexibility for dredging drainage canals. The legisla-
tion failed, but will likely be reintroduced with revisions. Sena-
tor Wanggaard encouraged citizens to contact them with their
concerns regarding the river and
the drawdowns, noting that just
five letters on a subject causes
them to sit up and take notice.
What can you do?
The Village and Citizen’s
Group are asking citizens to
contact legislators, just as Sen.
Wanggaard has encouraged,
with your concerns about the
repeated drawdowns, destruc-
tion of the fishery, and loss of
use of the river for six months
of the year. A list of contact
information for legislators,
committee chairs and vice
chairs who may have a role in the legislation, the Wisconsin
Department of Natural Resources and the DNR Board,
and editorial boards for local newspapers can be found on
our website, www.waterfordwi.org/FoxRiverDrawdowns.
You’ll also find FAQs, timeline of the opposition effort,
and more. Please write and express your concerns and the
need for legislation that protects the river. Let us know if
you contact your representatives; we'd like to track the ef-
fort.

Waterford’s Water Recreation
Village of Waterford continues to work on the trail develop-
ment as a member of the Fox River Water Trail Core Develop-
ment Team (CDT). Members of the team include Southeastern
Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission (SEWRPC), Fox
River Ecosystem Partnership (IL), Fox River Partner-
ship (WI), and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for
Planning with technical assistance from the National Park
Service and the Rock River Trail Initiative.
The group has been meeting since July 2015 and is
making great progress in identifying access points and
features that will be included in mapping the trail —
amenities such as picnic areas, camping, restroom facil-
ities, drinking water;, and parking; hazards such as
dams, rapids, and low bridges; GPS coordinates; and
identifying various journey trip times. The Wisconsin
section of the trail, from Waukesha County through
Racine and Kenosha counties has identified many of
these items and is verifying data with local and county
personnel.
Illinios’ portion is much larger, including five counties
with existing data collected from several sources and in
different ways.
Once completed the Fox River Water Trail Core Development
Team will apply for national designation through the Depart-
ment of the Interior. There are currently 20 such designations
in the United States and only three others to cross state lines.
Water Trail Development
Kenosha County’s
Water Trail
Development
Kenosha County recognized the
growing interest in paddle
sports, and developed their
section of the Fox River
Water Trail. The trail is eleven
miles long with four non-
motorized launch sites main-
tained by the Kenosha County
Parks Division. For more info,
visit:
www.co.kenosha.wi.us/1737/
Fox-River-Water-Trail.
The Canoe/Kayak Launch Ribbon Cutting drew Wisconsin
state and county officials, and visitors and dignitaries from three
counties and Illinois. Kayakers rested in the waters alongside the
launch while speakers took to the podium to share their well-
wishes, congratulations, and excitement over the Village and Ra-
cine County’s official opening of ca-
noe/kayak launches above and below
the Waterford and Rochester dams.
Cathy Stepp, DNR Secretary, and
Sheila Bugalecki, President of the
Racine Community Foundation,
spoke about the success of the project
and why their organizations saw this
as a project worth funding. The DNR
Stewardship grant provided over
$86,000 and an RCF grant gave
$40,000 to the $208,000 project.
Other guests and speakers included
Village President Tom Roanhouse,
Racine County Executive Jonathan
Delagrave, Kenosha County Chair
Kimberly Breunig, Waukesha County
Director of Parks and Land Use, Dale
Shaver, Ken Yunker, Director, and
Mike Hahn Deputy Director of
Southeastern Wisconsin Regional
Planning Commission, and Angie Tornes of the National Park
Service.
Guests were invited to stay and enjoy River Rhythms follow-
ing the ceremony.
Launch Ribbon-Cutting Brings Many to Celebrate
Sheila Bugalecki (left) and Cathy Stepp (right) assist as Tom Roan-

Police News
Policing in the village has been a natural fit for our officers in the Waterford Police Department. For example, during Balloonfest,
officers were assigned to five intersections, the Balloonfest grounds, regular patrol and boat patrol. On the busiest night, Saturday,
three incidents developed within a ten minute period; a personal injury accident, an intoxicated driver and an intoxicated boater.
All these events required substantial time and manpower.
Because the officers felt the new reserve officers were doing well helping with traffic and
pedestrian control, some officers left to assist with the three incidents. In the end, every-
thing was handled by our reserve officers and police officers who were on duty at the
time without interruption.
Over the summer, the department participated in Stuff the Squad, Picnic in the Park,
Annual Sand Bar Party, Tichigan Lions parade and the new Tichigan Lake Treasure
Hunt. We will also have handled the Tichigan Lions Club Car Show in Jensen Park (they
are preparing for 1,500 vehicles) and Absolutely Waterford’s Pooch. It is clear from
these events and situations, handled so well by our officers and reserve officers, and all
the calls and situations since the first of the year that the department and staff are han-
dling the extra coverage in the village.
We held two Cops and Bobbers events for the children this summer. Watch for Badges
and Bullseyes (archery) and Gutter Busters (bowling) over the next several months.
We see no crime trends at this time. Still, be sure to lock your vehicles, garages and
homes. Nearly all thefts and burglaries (home entries) in this area occur because doors
are left open. Talk to your children about alcohol and drugs - strongly describe how dan-
gerous they are and how much you object to them.
Finally, with all the negative media coverage of law enforcement throughout the country,
I want to express our gratitude for the strong and constant support we are experiencing
nearly every day from our citizens in this community and surrounding communities – we
have never seen anything like this before.
Police station door gets update: Removing “Town of” to
reflect new status of the department.
On August 8, 2016, the Village of Waterford Board of Trustees passed Ordinance
No. 639 s.174-7.5, Residency and Loitering Restrictions for Sex Offenders.
The ordinance notes that sex offenders that are repeat offenders, who use physi-
cal violence, and those that prey on children are an extreme threat to the public
safety. The high rate of recidivism creates the purpose of this ordinance — not
to punish sex offenders, but to protect Village citizens by creating areas around
locations where children regularly congregate in concentrated numbers. These
areas restrict certain sex offenders and sexual predators from establishing tempo-
rary or permanent residence. A map identifies restricted areas and provides for
1500 foot safety zone for all identified areas where children congregate. The or-
dinance also restricts certain sex offenders from loitering within the identified
child safety zones. Penalty fines for violating the provisions of the ordinance are
also provided.
Waterford Police Chief, Tom Ditscheit, said all offenders known to currently live
within the Village will be tracked to ensure that they remain in compliance with
the new ordinance. Offenders seeking to live within the Village will be advised
about the ordinance and that they must comply with it. The state sexual offender
database will be checked periodically to identify any new offenders residing in the
Village for compliance with the ordinance. For more information, visit the Vil-
lage website: www.waterfordwi.org/485/Sex-Offender-Ordinance.

Village Construction Projects
On the Road Again
ROAD
WORK
AHEAD
2016 Construction Finishing Up
Construction of the Racine Street Area project tied
up much of that area over the summer. The project
was divided into areas east and west of Jefferson
Street to allow for summer park activities to con-
tinue most of the summer. River Rhythms had an
abbreviated season, but promises a spectacular
return next year as they celebrate their 10th season.
The east section of the project began after the
partisan primary election on August 9. At press,
curbs, gutters and sidewalks had been installed
and the first layer of pavement laid.
Challenges have been overcome by the residents,
but with anticipation for a new and better street. Village
Hall and Library patrons and staff have felt the inconvenience as
well, as the construction moved to the area east of Jefferson, in-
cluding the Village Hall Parking lot. It also meant that the public
boat launch was closed through much of the end of August into
September.
Future Construction Plans
Road construction for the River East project, which includes 2nd
and Division streets, and Fire Station 1/municipal parking lot will
begin in 2017. It will add parking to the downtown area with ad-
ditional stalls in the municipal lot and in a small area along the
private parking north of Main Street businesses.
In 2018 Village construction of sanitary sewer and water infra-
structure will begin on West and East Main Streets in preparation
for the DOT reconstruction of Hwy 20/83. The DOT will begin
construction at the end of 2018.
Along with that project, the Village will continue construction of
East Main from 1st Street to Milwaukee Street, which is not in-
cluded in the DOT project. The bridge will also be reconstructed
The Wisconsin Department of Transpor-
tation (WisDOT) Southeast Region in Waukesha continues
with the design on the WIS 20/83 (Main/First Street) project,
from just west of Buena Park Road to WIS 36 (Milwaukee
Avenue). The work will include the reconstruction of East
Main Street from First Street to Milwaukee Street. Designers
continue to work on the final design which will include coor-
dination with utility companies that have facilities within the
project limits. Real estate acquisition for the project has start-
ed and is anticipated to continue through 2017. Final design
is expected to be completed in spring 2018. Utility work is
expected to start spring of 2018, with the roadwork starting in
November 2018 and completion November 2019. The con-
struction will be staged to allow the bridge and highway to
remain open to local traffic the entire project.

Josh Bowser, a 17-year old Waterford High School student, is working
on an Eagle Scout project. His project involves designing and building
two oversized Adirondack chairs to be placed in Village Hall Park. A
GoFundMe campaign was initiated to accept donations and he has col-
lected $1,105 toward his $2,000 goal. The chairs will be about eight feet
tall and will be placed along the river in the park. "They will become a
landmark, drawing people to the park to take their picture, and provide
a spot to sit and enjoy the river," said Josh. A design contest will be
held next year to select an artist to paint the chairs.
“I’d like to thank the generous donors to this project!” said Josh.

A couple of things to be aware of for the
coming winter months to ease the incon-
venience for residents and public works
staff.
Garbage and Recycling
Bins
When taking your bins to the curb for
pick-up, place them so they will not
obstruct the sidewalk or the street. We
all want the streets cleared as quickly
and efficiently as possible, so placing
containers off the street will allow plow
crews to continue their work without
stepping out of the truck to move trash
containers out of the road and resi-
dents won’t find themselves picking
garbage up out of the road.
Mailboxes
Mailboxes located in the Village right-
of-way shall be installed in accordance
with U.S. Postal Service Residential
Mailbox Standards, http://
www.residential-mailboxes.net/
uncategorized/us-postal-service-mail-box.
The Village of Waterford Municipal
Code also states:
Front of mailbox must be set back a
minimum of 8 inches from back of
curb; door when open should not ex-
tend past the back of the curb; vertical
height of box must be 42-48 inches
from road surface; not installed within
10 feet of a fire hydrant.
Mailboxes and posts shall be construct-
ed and maintained to withstand the
force of heavy, wet snow being pushed
against them by snow removal equip-
ment. Approved posts are 4”x4” wood;
4” diameter wood; 1 1/2” inside diam-
eter steel pipe; steel channel, not
weighing more than 2 lbs per foot.
This is a good time to check that your
mailbox is in compliance and the posts
are secure. Many older mailboxes have
posts that have become unstable due to
weather and rot, making them vulnera-
ble as snow is pushed against them.
Mailboxes that fail to meet the specifi-
cations in Village Code and US Postal
standards will not be repaired by the
Village in the event they are damaged
by Village snow plow operations. If all
specifications and standards are in
compliance and a mailbox can’t be re-
paired, the Village will replace mailbox-
es up to $100.
Snow and Ice Removal
The owner or occupant of any lot or
parcel within the Village must remove
all accumulation of snow and ice on
sidewalks in front of the property with-
in 24 hours of any snow storm. If ice
has formed and cannot be removed,
the owner/occupant shall keep side-
walk sprinkled with a material to pre-
vent a danger to pedestrians.
Do not shovel snow from sidewalks
and driveways into the street. Plow
crews will either be plow snow back
onto terraced spaces, sidewalks or
driveways or it will become packed
down and create a new problem of
slippery surfaces for walking or driving.
Preparing for Snow Season

online utility payments

HPV Vaccine is Cancer Protection
In both males and females, Human papillomavirus (HPV) can
cause warts and lead to cancer. HPV-related cancers can devel-
op years after a person gets HPV, and it is difficult to predict
who may develop these health problems. The good news:
HPV vaccine works extremely well. It is safe
and effective at preventing most cancers caused
by HPV. Since the vaccine was first recom-
mended in 2006, there has been a 56% reduc-
tion in vaccine type HPV infections in teen
girls in the U.S.
All girls and boys 11 - 12 years old should get
HPV vaccine, as well as older teens who have
not already received it. HPV vaccine produces
a higher immune response in preteens than in
young adults, and should be given long before
any type of sexual activity and exposure to
HPV. HPV is transmitted through intimate
skin-to-skin contact, and is so common that
nearly all men and women get it at some point.
Anyone who is sexually active can get HPV, even if they have
sex with only one person.

Zika Virus
Zika virus is a mosquito-borne infection that can cause symptoms including
fever, rash, and joint pain. The virus can be transmitted from a mother to her
baby during pregnancy, and may be associated with poor birth outcomes.
The species of mosquito that transmits Zika is not yet found in Wisconsin.
All reported U.S. cases from the mainland are associated with travel to a high-
risk area. Women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant are advised
to avoid travel to high-risk areas. Travelers to high-risk areas should take pre-
caution to prevent exposure to mosquito bites.

The Lions Club will be hosting the Save-a-Life Benefit to
purchase two LUCAS CPR devices. LUCAS. is a chest
compression system which can be strapped onto a person.
The device provides con-
tinuous chest compres-
sions, critical lifesaving ac-
tion for someone in cardiac
arrest by delivering vital
oxygen to the brain and
maintaining blood flow.
Manually delivering CPR
requires multiple staff to
deliver and maintain con-
sistent compressions. The
LUCAS device also travels
with the patient to the
emergency room, through
testing, to deliver needed, continuous compressions. In
the ambulance, rescue staff are kept safely belted in, while
the LUCAS continues regular compressions.
According to former Waterford Fire & Rescue EMT and
current Lions Club of Waterford President Ray Jones,
“The LUCAS Compression Devices will save lives and
the Lions Club of Waterford is committed to raising the
$30,000 necessary to equip our rescue vehicles to better
serve our community.”

It’s the 18th Annual parade through Waterford’s

Absolutely Waterford
River’s Edge Art Walk
Five Years Strong!
Looking for unique art pieces for your home or
for a holiday gift? We can help with that!
Absolutely Waterford is excited to bring out-
standing fine arts to the Village again this year. Featuring local and regional art-
ists, the Fifth Annual River’s Edge Art Walk will be held on Friday, October
7, 2016, from 4:00 to 9:00 PM. Twenty-three downtown businesses and com-
munity organizations will host 30 artists who will display and sell their latest cre-
ations. This free event is sponsored by Runzheimer International and Fluegge
Optical.
The Art Walk, which draws visitors from far and wide, will feature art work of
almost every type and medium. Art Walkers will be treated to weaving, jewelry,
photography, ceramics, pottery, paintings in oil, pastels, watercolor, and acrylic,
fiber and wearable art, metal sculpture, mixed media and digital art. Many favor-
ite artists from last year are returning, with a healthy mix of new talent this year.
Several businesses will also host musicians during the Art Walk, including: Jim
Bergles (guitar, vocals), Lena Schaal (easy listening piano), Sean Cranley (guitar,
mandolin), Rich and Ruth Schwartz (Irish music) and Dave Glynn (singer/
songwriter).
Carrying on a special Art Walk tradition, an old-fashioned trolley will convey
shoppers up and down the Art Walk route. Long-time Waterford resident and
historian, Bob Gariepy, will be on board the trolley as Sam Chapman, one of
Waterford’s first settlers. Bob will share stories and anecdotes about Waterford’s
unique people, buildings and history along the way.
Traditionally held just on Main Street, the Art Walk is expanding this year to
include several businesses on Milwaukee Street as well—all fully accessed on
foot, or by trolley. A map of the Art Walk route will be available at each partici-
pating business that night. In addition, a 50/50 cash raffle to benefit Absolutely
Waterford will be available for those who’d like to support AW’s efforts to pre-
serve the history of the Village and promote the downtown Heritage District.
For the third year in a row, Absolutely Water-
ford has received designation as an accredited
Main Street America™ program for meeting
rigorous performance standards set by the Na-
tional Main Street Center (NMSC). Each year,
the NMSC announces the list of nationally ac-
credited Main Street America programs in
recognition of their exemplary commitment to
preservation-based economic development and
community revitalization.
“Once again, we are thrilled to recognize Ab-
solutely Waterford as a nationally accredited
Main Street America™ community for their
outstanding work,” said Patrice Frey, President
& CEO of the National Main Street Center.
“We are experiencing an exciting era for Amer-
ica’s cities and towns, with a growing recogni-
tion of the importance of strong local enter-
prise, distinctive character, engaged residents,
and a sense of place.”
Absolutely Waterford is evaluated annually to
determine if they meet ten performance stand-
ards. Evaluation criteria determines which
communities are building comprehensive and
sustainable revitalization efforts, and include
standards such as fostering strong public-
private partnerships, securing an operating
budget, tracking programmatic progress, and
actively preserving community history.
18th Annual Winter Wonderland Parade
Kick off your Holiday celebrations with Absolutely Waterford’s 18th Annu-
al Winter Wonderland Parade, scheduled for Saturday, December 3 in
Waterford’s downtown Heritage District. The number of spectators at last
year’s parade topped 3,000—what a great night!
