BY THOMAS J.MCKILLEN MANAGING EDITOR The structure of Washington County gov- ernment in the near future was a key theme of the "state of the county" report given by County Administrator Joshua Schoemann at the May 8 County Board meeting. Currently, the day-to-day operations of county government are managed by a county administrator (Schoemann) appointed by the Washington County Board. There have been discussions in the past about changing to a county executive form of governance, in which the executive is directly elected by voters. A presentation on governance options will be held at the Washington County Fair Park Ziegler Family Expo Center at 6 p.m. May 22 as part of the Executive Committee meeting. The meeting will include a presen- tation by Village of Germantown Administrator Steven Kreklow – who worked in Milwaukee County government prior to being selected for the Germantown post – on various governance options with a question- and-answer period afterward. "Which model better serves Washington County today, tomorrow and 50 or 100 years from now? Regardless of the leadership model you choose, the focus must be on people. Citizens want to talk to their elected offi- cials, and the people they can hold account- able," Schoemann said. Schoemann said in the county adminis- trator model, county elected officials have to be engaged and active participants. "Let me be unequivocally clear: The deci- sion you will take up later this month should never be about any group of supervisors, any generation of employees -- and most most importantly, any single individual. It should always be about what is best for the people, the current and future residents of Washington County," Schoemann said. He later added: "There is little doubt as a reality that this county will eventually move to county executive model -- will this be the board to make this momentous decision?" At the beginning of the presentation, Schoemann offered a glimpse of the future based on the county's strategic direction that was adopted by the board. Schoemann said the direction emphasized that the role of county government "is to create an envi- ronment for residents and businesses to enjoy our authentic quality of life.

and attractive communities.""The reality is our greatest strengths, our largest

challenges and our biggest opportunities are all intri-cately woven together through our people -- those whohave come before us, those who are here today andthose yet to come. Our focus should always be on them.

Schoemann said that over the past five years, theboard has transitioned from being involved in day-to-day operations to a policy-making body that focuses onstrategic thinking. Schoemann said when he was hiredfive years ago, 30 supervisors served on 10 committees

which he said had a limited strategic vision while lead-ership was spread out.

"The result of this model was that something as sim-ple as an internal promotion could take as much asthree or four months to get final board approval. This isgovernment at its worst," Schoemann said.

He added that there was discussion from 2004 to2014 to change the governance model, with a changebeing made in 2014 to go from the county manager tocounty administrator model. Schoemann stated by giv-ing up day-to-day control and appointing an adminis-trative officer, the board established organizational

accountability. By 2015, strategic direction was estab-lished through vision, mission, values and prioritystatements.

"Additionally and more importantly, the resultingtrust and credibility has made the county organizationlead-able," Schoemann said.

Following Schoemann's comments County BoardChairman Don Kriefall encouraged supervisors to attendthe May 22 meeting and also have residents to come tothe meeting.

"We want them to have a role in how we move for-ward as a county," Kriefall said.

Lawns and gardens tend to draw the bulk of home-owners’ attention come spring and summer. But it’simportant that property owners tend to the trees thatdot their property as well.

The types of trees homeowners have on their proper-ty may influence when it’s time to trim and prune thetrees. Homeowners concerned about tree maintenanceshould speak with local landscaping professionals andtree services about caring for the trees on their specificproperties, but there are a few tricks to pruning treesthat homeowners should keep in mind when dusting offtheir gardening tools.

• Prune at the right time. The Arbor Day Foundation®notes that pruning during dormancy (i.e., winter) is themost common practice. Pruning in late winter, after theseason’s coldest temperatures have passed, can lead toimpressive and healthy growth in the spring. The ADFadvises that some trees, including maple and birches,

may bleed sap during pruning. But this is normal andshould cease as the tree starts to bloom. Novice land-scapers should confirm with landscaping professionalsabout the best time to prune trees on their properties toensure they are not inadvertently harming the trees ormaking them more vulnerable to fungus.

• Use appropriate tools. When removing branches,use sharp tools to minimize damage to the bark. The ADFnotes that young trees are best pruned with one-handpruning shears with curved blades. For trees with highbranches, use a pole pruner or hire a professional treeservice. Novices should avoid anything too risky whenpruning their trees, leaving the more difficult jobs to theprofessionals.

• Follow the rules of pruning. When pruning trees,the ADF advises homeowners follow the one-third and aquarter rules of pruning. In adherence to these rules, nomore than a quarter of a tree’s crown is removed in a sin-

gle season, and main side branches are at least one-thirdsmaller than the diameter of the trunk. When trimmingdeciduous trees, homeowners should never prune upfrom the bottom more than one-third of the tree’s totalheight. Finally, where possible, homeowners should aimfor side branches that form angles that are one-third offvertical to form 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock angles with thetrunk.

• Water correctly. Like lawns and gardens, trees needwater to thrive. Insufficient watering can make it hardfor trees to thrive in summer, but overwatering can beharmful, too. The ADF suggests that watering each treefor 30 seconds with a steady stream of water from a gar-den hose equipped with a diffuser nozzle should be suf-ficient. Newly planted trees may need more help as theytry to establish deep root systems, so consider layingmulch around newly planted trees. Mulch helps the soilretain moisture and form deeper, stronger root systems.

The popularity of outdoor livingspaces has been growing for years. A2014 study from the home remodelingand design platform Houzz found that56 percent of homeowners were makingupdates to improve their yards for enter-taining. Similarly, nearly 60 percent ofarchitectural practices surveyed by theAmerican Institute of Architects in 2016said outdoor living spaces were popularfeatures in the homes they built.

Outdoor living spaces may also besound investments for homeowners look-ing to improve the resale value of theirproperties. According to Remodelingmagazine’s 2017 “Cost vs. Value” report,outdoor living spaces returned between55 and 71 percent of homeowners’ initial

investments at resale.When planning an outdoor living

space, homeowners with ample back-yards have much to work with. However,to make the most of the space whilesimultaneously hoping to get as strong areturn on their investments as possible,homeowners should look to create spacesthat offer broad appeal and are not toopersonalized. The following are somepopular outdoor living space featureshomeowners may want to consider.

Millions of acres across North Americaare devoted to lush, green lawns.According to Duke University’s NicholasSchool of the Environment, lawns takeup 40.5 million acres and individualsspend $30 billion on average for lawnand garden upkeep in the United Statesalone. People certainly love their lawnsand often wonder if those lawns are bestleft in the hands of professionals.

The National Gardening Associationstates that 72 percent of Americanhouseholds do some work in their yards.However, a growing number of homeown-ers also hire others to make their lawnslook pristine. Homeowners who want toleave lawncare to the professionals canconsider the following factors as theysearch for a company that best suitstheir needs.

• Work with a licensed and insuredcompany. Lawncare services that arelicensed and insured provide more peaceof mind to homeowners than the alterna-tives. Should an injury occur on yourproperty while work is being done, aninsured business will be able to take careof it and you won’t be liable.

• Ask about membership in a profes-sional or trade organization. Businessesthat belong to an organization invest incontinually learning about the evolutionof lawncare. This increases the likelihoodthat member companies will be up-to-date regarding the latest, most environ-

mentally friendly lawncare techniques.Participation in a trade organization alsomay indicate education in the landscap-ing field.

• Research reviews before hiring.Although public reviews may not paintthe entire picture and they often reflectonly the very positive or very negativeexperiences previous customers have hadwith a given business, they can providean idea of how a lawncare companyinteracts with its customers. Prospectivecustomers who contact the BetterBusiness Bureau may learn if there havebeen any glaring complaints against aparticular contractor.

• Find out which services are offered.Ask each business what services theyprovide. While nearly every lawncarecontractor will mow the lawn and trimshrubs, many homeowners prefer compa-nies that can adapt when the yard needsa change. This may include pest treat-ments, fertilization, aeration, and sea-sonal cleanups.

• Look for a company that’s organ-ized and connected. Customer serviceshould be a factor when choosing a lawn-care service. You want to be able to reachthe company promptly. A company thatresponds quickly is ideal, especially ifyou need to change a service or need toinquire about additional or emergencywork.

Shopping for a lawncare service cantake time and effort, but the results willbe well worth it when homeowners havelawns and landscapes that make theirneighbors green with envy.

charcoal grill in the backyard might getthe job done, but a built-in gas grillcomplete with burners and surroundinggranite countertop makes for a morefunctional outdoor entertaining space.

BarsIndoor entertaining areas often

include bars, so it makes sense thathomeowners want to include a place toprepare and serve beverages to theirguests. Homeowners with room in theirbudgets may want to install wet barswhere they can rinse mixers, glasses andother items needed to prepare drinks fortheir guests.

Warming featuresFeatures that can keep homeowners

and their guests warm after the sun setsinclude outdoor fireplaces and firepits. A2016 survey conducted by the AmericanSociety of Landscape Architects foundthat fireplaces and firepits were the mostpopular outdoor design element in 2016.Such features can provide a focal pointin the backyard while also extending the

outdoor living season into autumn andeven early winter.

Porch spaceOutdoor living spaces are often found

in the backyard, but homeowners withbigger front yards than backyards maywant to expand or open their porchspaces to create more space outside.Porch swings and rocking chairs providea great place to relax, and porch spacesare covered, meaning homeowners cancontinue to enjoy time outside evenwhen it begins to rain.

Outdoor living spaces are growing inpopularity. Homeowners who want tocapitalize on this trend can do so in var-ious ways.

Many people consider summer themost enjoyable time of year, as the sum-mer sun and warm breezes make the sea-son perfect for rest and relaxation. Butthe months of June, July and August,which are often characterized by risingtemperatures and stifling humidity, canbe tough to endure as well.

When summer heat becomes especial-ly uncomfortable, humans can simplyhead indoors and beat the heat in airconditioned buildings and homes. Plantlife is not so lucky, and homeowners mayneed to take steps to help the plant lifeon their properties survive the summerheat.

• Monitor soil moisture. Soil mois-ture, or a lack thereof, can help home-owners determine if their plants arestruggling to survive the heat. To checksoil moisture levels, use a ruler or evenyour finger, sticking either two inchesinto the ground where you suspect thesoil is drying out. If the soil is damp twoinches below the surface, then yourplants are likely retaining enough mois-ture to withstand the heat. If the soil isdry two inches below, then you maywant to give the soil a deep soak.

• Keep an eye on container gardens.Containers may have an especially diffi-cult time staying moist in the summerheat. That’s particularly true for contain-ers that sit in direct sunlight. Water con-tainer gardens daily during summer heatwaves, being sure to adhere to any localwater restrictions.

• Lay down mulch. Mulch helps insu-late and protect soil during summer,when soil can quickly dry out. Whenapplied correctly (ideally before summertemperatures get too hot), mulch helpsthe soil conserve moisture and preventsweed growth. Weeds can rob soil of the

water it needs to promote strong rootsystems, which can help plants get thenutrients they need to withstand sum-mer heat. Mulched soils also do not expe-rience the fluctuations in temperaturethat non-mulched soils can experienceduring summer heat waves, helpingplants to grow evenly.

• Move plants when possible. Plantlocation can affect their chances of sur-viving summer heat. Driveways linedwith flowers or other plants may looknice, but driveways exposed to the suncan radiate heat at temperatures thatexceed the temperatures noted on thethermometer. If possible, move plants tolocations on your property that are lessexposed to the heat and/or less likely tobe affected by the heat. Move containerplants beneath trees on hot days, andconsider summer heat waves beforeplanting new flower beds.

Summer heat can be especially harm-ful to plant life. But homeowners canemploy various strategies to protect theplant life on their properties when tem-peratures rise during the dog days ofsummer.

Thick grass is often a hallmark of ahealthy lawn. If grass begins to thin,homeowners may feel as though all thetime and effort they spent tending totheir lawns was for naught.

Thinning grass can be caused by anynumber of things. And while it mighttake a little effort to address, thinninggrass can be treated if homeowners cor-rectly identify that cause of the problem.

Leaf spotThe Center for Agriculture, Food and

the Environment at the University ofMassachusetts Amherst notes that leafspot diseases affect both cool- andwarm-season turfgrasses. Various fungican cause leaf spot. Symptoms and thetiming of the appearance of leaf spot willvary depending on which fungi is caus-ing the problem. For example, bipolarissorokiniana, which affects grasses inwarm, wet summer months, producessmall spots that are dark purple to black.Dreschslera poae is another fungi thatcauses leaf spot, and it also producesdark purple to black spots. However, ittends to appear in the spring when theweather is cool and moist.

Understanding the different fungi andwhen they typically strike can helphomeowners identify what is causingtheir grass to thin. In such situations,professional landscapers can be invalu-able resources as well.

Stripe smutThe University of Maryland Extension

notes that stripe smut primarily poses athreat to Kentucky bluegrass that isolder than three years. Pale green streaksthat run parallel to the veins in theleaves and leaf sheaths are symptomaticof stripe smut, which tends to be noticedin spring and fall, when weather is cool.As the disease progresses, stripes turnblack or a silvery gray, causing the leafblade to shred and curl. After the bladeshave shred, they turn brown and die. Thegrass thins because stripe smut makes itvulnerable to problems like drought.

Ascochyta leaf blightLawns suffering from ascochyta leaf

blight will become straw-colored.According to the lawn care and pesticideexperts at Ortho®, when a lawn is affect-ed by ascochyta leaf blight, its healthy

grass blades will be mixed in with dis-eased grass blades. Most prevalent in thespring, this disease can affect grass atany time during the growing season.That’s because the ascochyta fungiinvade leaf blades through wounds, suchas those that can result from mowing.Ortho® notes that dull lawn mowers can

contribute to the disease, which mightdisappear on its own and can even returnafter it’s seemingly been cured.

Various issues can cause grass bladesto thin. Working with a landscape pro-fessional is a great way to combat suchissues before they compromise the lookof a lawn.

Curb appeal cango a long waytoward making ahome more attrac-tive to its inhabi-tants as well asprospective buyersonce the house isput on the market.Improving curbappeal is a goal formany homeowners,and while manyprojects aimed atmaking homes morea e s t h e t i c a l l yappealing can becostly, there are ways for cost-conscioushomeowners to improve their propertieswithout breaking the bank.

• Put your green thumb to use. Awell-maintained landscape can dramati-cally improve a home’s curb appeal. Payattention to the plants, shrubs andtrees throughout your property, water-ing them during periods of little rainfalland trimming them when necessary soyour lawn does not look like an over-grown, neglected suburban jungle.Professional landscaping services canhelp you maintain your property, buteven if your budget does not allow forsuch an expense, you can still makesure your landscape adds to your home’sappeal by keeping a watchful eye onthe property and addressing any issuesthat arise. Maintain your lawn throughthe colder months of the year as well,making sure no one walks on the grasswhen frost has settled, as doing so canproduce dead spots throughout thelawn.

• Redo your front door. While theireyes may initially be drawn to a well-manicured lawn, prospective buyers willeventually find their way to the frontdoor. If your door is especially old, con-sider replacing it. If your budget doesnot allow for such an expense, you canstill give your home’s front entrance anentirely new look by installing someinexpensive molding around the doorbefore giving the door a fresh coat ofpaint. Molding around the front doorcan make an entrance more impressive,

while a new coat of paint can make ahome feel warmer and more vibrant.

• Plant flowers. Another inexpensiveway to make a home more appealing isto plant some colorful flowers aroundthe property. Line walkways with flow-ers native to your region, as such plantswill last longer than exotic alternativesthat may not be capable of adapting tothe local climate. In addition to liningwalkways, hang window boxes filledwith colorful flowers or plants outsidenaked windows. Doing so can make win-dows seem larger and add some color toyour home’s exterior.

Another creative way to make use ofcolorful flowers is to place a fewplanters at the foot of your drivewayand painting the numbers of youraddress on the planters. This can beboth effortless and inexpensive, but itcan instantly make a home more invit-ing to prospective buyers.

• Spotlight certain parts of yourproperty. Many homeowners focus onimproving the curb appeal of theirproperty during the daytime hours, butyou can take steps to make a homemore appealing at night as well. Solarspotlights placed around trees andother attractive features in your yardcan shed light on those areas of yourproperty you’re most proud of, evenafter the sun has gone down. Solarspotlights won’t add to your energy bill,as they are powered by the sun, andthey can make certain accents on yourproperty stand out at night.

Inexpensive ways to boost curb appeal

Maintaining plant life on a property won’t cost homeowners alot of money, but such an effort can add substantial curbappeal to a home.

Four outstanding volunteers wererecently honored by the GreaterMenomonee Falls Foundation (GMFF) atits Ovation event. Awards included: VikkiSchmidt, Shining Star; Rick Rechlicz,Lifetime Achievement; Monica Schultz,Unsung Hero; and Bob Otzelberger, whowas honored posthumously with thePatriotism Award.

Several years ago, the GMFF expandedbeyond one lifetime achievement awardbecause there are so many people inMenomonee Falls who deserve recogni-tion. The GMFF committee selects hon-orees based on community nominations.

The GMFF hosted Ovation May 9 atNorth Hills Country Club to applaud civicleaders and award over $20,000 in grantsto non-profit groups that help keep theMenomonee Falls area strong andvibrant.

Shining Star - Vikki SchmidtBob Cowan, a 2017 Shining Star

recipient, nominated Vikki Schmidt andstated: “As I look out there, it’s like thewho’s who of Menomonee Falls. Howmany of thousands of hours have you allput in over the years? It’s really some-thing to be proud of.”

He went on to list many of Vikki’spast and present volunteer activities,including the Children’s CommunityCenter, Community League, MenomoneeFalls Historical Society, and even visionscreenings at Menomonee Falls schools.She donates many of her handmadequilts, knit and crocheted items to theRonald McDonald House and other chari-ties for fundraisers.

In her acceptance speech, Vikkijoked, “I love history, so it was a given

that I would stay on the board (of theMenomonee Falls Historical Society) —forever.” She thinks Menomonee Falls is a“fantastic community,” and is “glad to bepart of it.”

Lifetime Achievement - Rick Rechlicz The GMFF board president, Sue

Jeskewitz described Rick Rechlicz as a“silent icon” who has “dedicated much ofhis spare time to volunteerism.”

His achievements include co-found-ing the Menomonee Falls ScholarshipFoundation, serving on the board ofdirectors and leading the telethon andscholarship house fundraisers.

Rechlicz also served in village gov-ernment on the zoning board of appeals,planning commission, and as villagepresident from 2005 — 2009. He cur-rently serves on the zoning board ofappeals and is a member of theOptimists.

He describes his time in village gov-ernment as “just a tremendous opportu-nity.”

During his acceptance speech,Rechlicz recognized the many peoplewho were involved with establishing andfundraising for the scholarship founda-tion. Humbly, he stated, “It really wasn’tabout me. These people did the work. Ijust had an idea.”

Unsung Hero — Monica SchultzRobin Manke, who nominated Monica

for the recognition, started her introduc-tion by stating: “Any community wouldbe lucky to have a volunteer like MonicaSchultz. She is a selfless philanthropistwho is not afraid to help anyone inneed.”

Schultz is a board member and

church volunteer coordinator for theMenomonee Falls Food Pantry, where shehas volunteered for over twenty years.Schultz serves on the Good ShepherdCatholic Church Human ConcernsCommission and prepares food for theCathedral Center, St. Ben’s meal program,and Repairers of the Breach. She also vol-unteers with Faith Coalition Against SexTrafficking (FCAST) and LARCUM.

A hairdresser by trade, Monica creat-ed Barbers without Borders, a group ofhairstylists who cut hair for the home-less at St. Ben’s in Milwaukee.

Monica thanked her husband Jeff anddaughter Ashley for their love and sup-port. She said, “I feel humbled andappreciated for being recognized for mypassion for volunteering.”

Patriotism Award — Bob OtzelbergerJohn Meyer, Janet Hickle, and Jean

Kanack, all relatives of Bob Otzelberger,shared his life story that spanned nearlya century in Menomonee Falls. GMFFboard member, Robin Manke and JanetHickle both told Bob that the GreaterMenomonee Falls Foundation would behonoring him with the Patriotism Award.He felt honored and humbled.

Sadly, Otzelberger passed away fourdays shy of his 98th birthday, so he washonored posthumously.

In 1941 Otzelberger signed up toserve in the Navy, working as a torpedo-man on the U.S.S. Dentuda thatpatrolled the Pacific. After completinghis service, he returned to MenomoneeFalls, joining the Veterans of ForeignWars (VFW), and becoming a foundingmember of AMVETS for WWII veterans in1947. This group created the WWIIMemorial that stands today in VillagePark. This year’s Memorial Day Tributewill take place at the memorial onSunday, May 26 at 1pm.

Bob and his wife Cora Mae were alsopart of the Kiwanis Club, Menomonee

Falls Historical Society, and the EireniconClub. Cora Mae led the drive to build asenior center, and Bob was her right-hand man.
