WAUKESHA – Between the attire of those
in the crowd; the red, white and blue trim on
vehicles and elaborate floats; and the Ameri-
can flags that adorned the streetlights in
pairs, the Fourth of July parade in Waukesha
was awash in stars and stripes.
At ground level, children chased after
pieces of candy, while groups such as the
local chapter of the Vietnam Veterans of
America received a steady stream of
applause.
“This is the best turnout I’ve seen in 25
years,” said Jim Clemens of Veterans Quest,
a West Allis-based group that provides local
veterans and their families with services such
as trauma therapy and peer counseling.
“Waukesha loves its veterans.”
Clemens, a Waukesha native, said that this
type of response means the world to those
who’ve served their country.
“I have five brothers and sisters, all are
Vietnam-era veterans,” he said. “It’s like we
were homegrown to be patriots.”
Family time on the Fourth
While the adults saluted their military
heroes, the children’s attention was on the
candy, marching bands, music and fire trucks.
Waukesha resident Andrea O’Brien noted
that these were the favorites of her children
Mackenzie, 3, and Landon, 2, who were
attending this event for the first time.
“Though the bagpipes were awesome,
watching their excitement was my favorite
part,” she said. “What kid wouldn’t remember
getting candy and ice cream?”
“The parade is great,” agreed Sarah
O’Brien, Andrea’s sister-in-law. “But I love the
family time.”
The view from above
Rising above the crowd were several stilt-
walkers, garbed as patriotic figures such as
Uncle Sam and Lady Liberty.
Adam Nelson of the Jolly Giants in Madi-
son estimates he is 8 feet, 11 inches tall when
he dons his stilts and joins parades in an
Uncle Sam inspired costume. From his lofty
perch, he built a rapport with Thursday’s
crowd.

WAUKESHA – The Obama admin-
istration unexpectedly announced on
Tuesday a one-year delay of the
health care law that would require
medium and large companies to pro-
vide health care coverage for their
workers or face fines.
Kurt Bauer, president of Wiscon-
sin Manufacturers & Commerce, the
state’s largest business association,
said the delay was both practical and
political, considering the rule-mak-
ing process has to this day left much
unknown and “has been weighing
heavily on the minds of those in the
business community to be sure.”
“It also doesn’t instill much confi-
dence in one, is this a good policy
and two, if the federal government
can manage the national health care
system even if given more time,” he
said.
Complex requirements
The act, commonly called Oba-
macare, was signed into law March
23, 2010. It represents the most signif-
icant government expansion and reg-
ulatory overhaul of the health care
system since the passage of Medi-
care and Medicaid in 1965.
The employer requirements are
among the most complex parts of the
health care law, with companies with
50 or more workers needing to pro-
vide affordable coverage to their full-
time employees.
Sue Ezalarab of the Wisconsin
Office of the Commissioner of Insur-
ance said because it is a federal man-
date, employers that fail to follow the
future mandate will receive fines
when they file their federal income
taxes.
‘Overall frustration’
In an official statement, U.S. Cham-
ber of Commerce President Thomas
J. Donohue said “the Administra-
tion’s decision to ... delay the imple-
mentation of the employer mandate
is welcomed by the business commu-
nity and will help avoid some serious
near-term economic consequences of
this law.”
With business owners feeling
uncertain and left with questions
about what is upcoming with the
health care law, Bauer said that some
businesses may hold back on making
important decisions, including addi-
tional hiring.

Lifeway
closes on
sale of
Golden
Guernsey
Hopes to have it
up and running
in August
By Sarah Pryor
Freeman Staff
WAUKESHA – The shut-
tered Golden Guernsey plant
was officially sold to Lifeway
Foods, Inc., Tuesday with the
official closing of the sale,
said bankruptcy trustee
counsel Jeff Testa.
Last month, a Delaware
bankruptcy judge approved
the sale, and Illinois-based
Lifeway Foods Chief Finan-
cial Officer Edward Smolyan-
sky said he hoped to get the
lights on and the factory run-
ning again by mid-August.
In May, Lifeway acquired
the bankrupt Delafield Street
plant at a New Jersey auc-
tion, with a winning bid of
$7.4 million.
Smolyansky said last
month that the company’s
main priority now is to get
the lights on at the plant and
start processing bulk milk,
but it will likely eventually
begin producing Lifeway
kefir, a probiotic dairy bever-
age.
The plant closed suddenly
Jan. 5, leaving more than 100
employees scrambling to
search for new employment,
health insurance and more.
The plant’s former owner, a
California-based capital firm
called OpenGate, announced
shortly thereafter that the
plant was filing for Chapter 7
bankruptcy in Delaware.
OpenGate CEO Andrew
Nikou issued a statement that
blamed operating expenses,
the union and pressure to
lower prices for the decision.
Both the Department of
Workforce Development and
Bankruptcy Trustee Charles
Stanziale are further investi-
gating what happened lead-
ing up to the closure and
afterward.

2. MILWAUKEE (AP) – The
Obama administration’s
decision to delay a health
care obligation for employ-
ers until 2015 is being
applauded by many in Wis-
consin’s business commu-
nity who say they could
use the extra time to
understand the new law
and its options.
Some employers said
they’ve been working on
compliance for months and
would have been ready by
the Jan. 1 deadline. But
others said there’s so
much complexity that
they’re grateful for the
postponement.
At issue is the so-called
pay-or-play rule, a provi-
sion of the Affordable Care
Act that would apply to
any employee who works
at least 30 hours per week.
The provision, which
applies to employers who
have the equivalent of
more than 50 full-time
employees, imposes two
conditions:
Employers who don’t
provide health benefits
would pay a $2,000 penalty
for each employee who
qualifies for subsidized
coverage and buys health
insurance through the
online marketplaces called
exchanges.
Employers who pro-
vide health benefits that
cost more than 9.5 percent
of an employee’s income
would pay a $3,000 penalty
for each worker who quali-
fies for subsidies who buys
insurance through the
exchanges.
The looming deadline
and threat of penalties
were a concern to Ray Lip-
man, the chief executive of
Westbury Bank in West
Bend. The bank has about
150 employees, including
about 50 part-time work-
ers.
‘‘We were getting down
to the wire here,’’ Lipman
said. ‘‘And there was con-
cern about the penalties.’’
The law defines a full-
time worker as one who
works 30 or more hours per
week on average. But for
some employers, determin-
ing who meets that
requirement turned out to
be surprisingly complicat-
ed.
For example, an employ-
ee on a salary, such as a
part-time lawyer or
adjunct professor, may be
paid based on working 24
hours a week while in real-
ity working more than 30
hours a week, said Rich
Yurkowitz, a benefits con-
sultant with Aon Hewitt.
‘‘It is not as simple as
you work in a factory and
you work 40 hours,’’
Yurkowitz said.
Retail and restaurant
chains, which generally
hire a large number of
part-time workers, also are
among those most affected
by the new law. Two indus-
try associations, the Retail
Industry Leaders Associa-
tion and the National
Restaurant Association,
praised the administra-
tion’s decision.
For other employers, the
pay-or-play penalty wasn’t
likely to have as much
effect. Most large employ-
ers provide health insur-
ance: 98 percent of those
with more than 200
employees and 94 percent
of those with between 50
and 199 employees, accord-
ing to the Kaiser Family
Foundation.

Conference will bein county for firsttime in yearsBy Sarah PryorFreeman StaffCITY OF PEWAUKEE –
For the first time in several
years, the Wisconsin News-

conference will take place
in Waukesha County next
year.
The conference is planned
for the Milwaukee Marriott
West in the City of Pewau-
kee on Feb. 27 and 28, 2014,
according to a statement
from WNA Executive Direc-
tor Beth Bennett.Tammy
Tritz, executive

excited for Waukesha County
to host the conference, which
will bring almost 500 publish-

state.
“We’ve been reaching out

Special to The FreemanWAUKESHA – At $4.08 per
gallon, the cost of regular
gasoline here is six cents
more than the
statewide
average of $4.02 per gallon,
according to figures released
Friday by AAA-Wisconsin.
The uptick in prices is hit-
ting consumers squarely in
their pocketbooks.
Last
month, the cost of a gallon of
regular gas was about $3.75
in Waukesha, according to
AAA. Last year at this time,
regular gas cost $3.62 per
gallon in the city, 46 cents
less than the
current aver-
age.
In comparison, the nation-
al average is $3.63 per gallon,
up from $3.56 a year ago.
The cost of gasoline in
Wisconsin is the sixth high-
est in the United
States.
Only consumers in Hawaii,
Michigan, Illinois, Indiana
and
Alaska
pay
more,
according to AAA.Buckle your seat belts.
Relief from rising gas prices
may not happen for a couple
of weeks.
“We have a number
of
refinery problems in the
Midwest and
elsewhere,”
Aaron Roth, executive direc-
tor
of
the
Wisconsin
Petroleum
Council, said.
“There’s not a shortage of
crude oil. The problem is
with the production of gaso-
line.”
‘It’s just one thingafter another’Refineries in Wisconsin,
Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana,
Kansas and
Michigan
are
experiencing
production
reductions for a variety
of
reasons, Roth said. And they
all supply gasoline to the
Milwaukee area, he said.
“It’s just one thing after
another,” Roth said. “We are
experiencing a 22-year low
in
gasoline production.
We’re not running out of
gasoline, but some suppliers
are setting their prices high-
er to get people to drive their
cars less.”Troubled Midwest refiner-
ies are seeking gasoline via
pipelines from Gulf Coast
refineries. That
supply
would be distributed to Mil-
waukee-area retailers, but
the turnaround could take
10 days to two
weeks, he
said.
Refineries that are off line
for upgrades should be back
at full production before the
Fourth of July, he said.
Until then:■ A St. Paul, Minn., refin-
ery that produces 300,000
barrels a day is down for pol-
lution control upgrades.
■ An Indiana refinery is
upgrading to accept Canadi-
an oil.
■ An Illinois refinery just
completed an upgrade but
found a leak.■ A Detroit refinery was
heavily damaged by a fire
last week.■ Improvements at other
refineries in Kansas, Michi-
gan and Wisconsin will not
be done until mid- to late
summer.
“Try to conserve fuel and
don’t make unnecessary
trips,” Roth advised. “This
has just got to work itself
out.”

IN BRIEF
By Darryl J. Enriquez
Special to The Freeman
WAUKESHA – A top offi-
cial at Catholic Memorial
High School said Wednesday
that he and other decision
makers are evaluating
whether the expanded school
voucher program would fit
the school’s educational and
spiritual missions.
Gov. Scott Walker earlier
this week approved a $70 bil-
lion state biennium budget
that included provisions to
expand school vouchers
statewide for low-income
families.
The budget allows 500 stu-
dents from families with
incomes below 185 percent of
the federal poverty level to
enroll in private schools,
including faith-based schools
such as CMH. In the pro-
gram’s second school year,
the number of students will
increase to 1,000.
Private schools that want
to participate in the program
must apply through the state
Department of Public
Instruction. The enrollment
deadline for schools is July
26.
The Rev. Paul Hartmann,
president of CMH, said in an
email Wednesday:
“Catholic Memorial High
School is proud of the pre-
mier education that our stu-
dents receive. With the
school choice expansion, we
have the opportunity to pro-
vide this level of education
to students who otherwise
could not afford to attend
CMH, while living our
Catholic mission to serve.
“This is an important deci-
sion, and it is our process
and our responsibility to
take our time to evaluate the
details of the program in
order to make the best deci-
sion for our students, their
families and the community
we serve.”
CMH serves about 700 stu-
dents – freshmen through
seniors – and is recognized
by the Cardinal Newman
Society as one of America’s
best Catholic high schools.
Repeated calls since Mon-
day to the Waukesha
Catholic School System,
which serves K -8 pupils,
about its position on the
voucher program, were not
returned.
DPI official: Many
enrollment details
not clear yet
Patrick Gaspar, DPI com-
munications officer, said
voucher candidates must
enroll in schools that are pro-
gram participants or are in
the application process. Par-
ents must request vouchers
through those schools. The
narrow window for student
voucher enrollment will be
Aug. 1 to 9, Gaspar said.
Many other details about
enrollment still need to be
ironed out, Gaspar said.
Eligibility guidelines are
basically that a family of
four with a single head of the
household cannot make
more than about $32,000
annually to comply with the
program’s earmarked pover-
ty level.
A family of four, headed by
a married couple, will need
to be below about $40,000 in
annual earnings to be vouch-
er eligible.
School Choice of Wiscon-
sin, a leading advocacy group
for school voucher expan-
sion, might be in Waukesha
County next week, offering
private school officials
instructions on how to par-
ticipate in the program.
Jim Bender, School Choice
president, said his organiza-
tion is holding informational
sessions throughout Wiscon-
sin for private schools offi-
cials who are interested in
learning more about the
voucher program.
The budgetary provision
does not apply to Milwaukee
or Racine schools. Both dis-
tricts already have voucher
programs in place.
WAUKESHA – No one was injured but
someone apparently was shooting in the
1500 block of Big Bend Road late Tuesday
evening, and police have more questions
than answers.
According to a press release from Sgt.
Joe Hendricks, police responded to the
area after receiving multiple 911 calls
reporting shots being fired.
Police locked down the area and began
an extensive search to locate possible vic-
tims and/or suspects, but only found mul-
tiple fired gun cartridges, according to the
release.
Additionally, police found bullet casings
and bullet holes on the scene, but it does-
n’t appear that anyone was injured.
Witnesses described subjects fleeing the
scene in a white SUV and an older model
four-door sedan.
Anyone with information regarding
this shooting incident is urged to contact
Detective Dave Feyen at 524-3784.

“What people need to understand is
that uncertainty is a major drag in an
economic recovery, so it really affects
everyone,” he said.
Bob Suycott, owner of Tailor Made
Benefit Solutions in Milwaukee, serves
many small businesses throughout
southeastern Wisconsin. He said compa-
ny CEOs are now in limbo.
“The sentiment I have gotten from my
clients is one of overall frustration,” he
said Wednesday just after the decision.
“It is a complex law with so many mov-
ing parts, and we just can’t get clarity.”
He said the extension leaves questions
on whether they should move forward
on the health care plans that have
already been designed.
“It is just very unclear on how the new
deadline will affect the guidance that
has already been put out there for busi-
ness owners,” Suycott said.
Individual health care
This process for individual applicants
is a separate issue. The delay of the
employer requirement does not affect
the law’s requirement that individuals
carry health insurance starting next
year or they will face fines, said Wauke-
sha County’s economic support coordi-
nator Luann Page.
The county is expecting about $1.65
million to administer enrollment pro-
grams from July of this year through
June 30, 2015, which coincides with the
state’s biennium budget.
Early projections say 11,000 applicants
will approach the county to enroll in the
health care plan during the first six
months of the program, Page said in a
previous interview.

insurance and the Health Insurance

CMH’s Hartmann: Still evaluating expanded voucher program
State warns of lottery scams
MADISON – The Wisconsin Lottery and
the state Department of Agriculture,
Trade and Consumer Protection are warn-
ing people of lottery scams.
The state Lottery has heard from several
players who reported being contacted
about supposedly winning a special draw-
ing associated with the Mega Millions
jackpot game. The caller has sought money
and personal information in order to “pro-
cess” prize claims.
The special drawing does not exist. The
caller is a thief, the state agencies said in a
news release.
Lottery, prize notice and sweepstakes
scams are a significant issue for Wisconsin
consumers. The “Contest / Sweepstakes /
Prize Notices” category received the tenth
most complaints to the DATCP last year.
The DATCP urges people to be wary of
anyone who says you’ve won a prize in a
game or drawing you never entered, to
understand that legitimate lotteries and
contests will never ask you to pay a fee to
collect a prize, and think twice before pro-
viding bank account numbers, credit card
numbers or Social Security numbers over
the phone, especially to someone you don’t
know or on an unsolicited call.
People should also be suspicious of
“urgent” solicitations that suggest you will
lose a prize if you don’t act immediately.
For more information, call the Lottery
office at 608-261-4916 or send an email to
info@wilottery.com. For additional con-
sumer information or to file a complaint,
visit the Consumer Protection Bureau at
http://datcp.wisconsin.gov, send an email
to datcphotline@wisconsin.gov or call 1-
800-422-7128.
MS walks raise nearly $1.3 million
HARTLAND – Walk MS events held in 18
communities around the state this spring
raised nearly $1.3 million but fell short of
a $1.5 million goal, the state chapter of the
National Multiple Sclerosis Society report-
ed this week.
The funds will be used for research into
multiple sclerosis, as well as programs and
services for the more than 10,000 people
diagnosed with MS in the state, a press
release said. More than 11,500 people
walked in the events and 550 volunteers
worked them.
The walks have been held in Wisconsin
every spring since 1984; the largest this
year were held in Milwaukee, Madison and
De Pere.
Funds come from participant fundrais-
ing and donations. Donations are still
being accepted. For details, call 369-4400 or
