This will help us to protect our responders for as long as needed. THANK YOU again to everyone involved in this project we know it took a great deal of time and effort to make these masks. We wish we could thank you all personally.

Thank you to the dedicated volunteers who help keep our community safe. Feeling especially grateful that no one was hurt in this fire. Kenilworth is in District 8. My thoughts go out to the home owner as they deal with the aftermath and needed repairs.

On Saturday evening 4/25/2020 at 9:52pm the Volunteers of your Mequon Fire Department were requested to West Kenilworth Circle for the report of a house fire. Mequon Fire and Police units responded and police on scene confirmed that all of the occupants were out of the residence and uninjured. Mequon Fire units arrived and quickly began fire suppression efforts. As is standard practice at fire events, Mequon Fire requested assistance from our neighboring communities via the Mutual Aid Box Alarm System MABAS Division 119 This system alerts the neighboring communities and sends a pre-determined set of resources to the community requesting assistance. In this case the following communities responded with equipment and personnel.

North Shore Fire/Rescue
Village of Grafton Fire Department
Thiensville Fire Department
Saukville Fire Department
Menomonee Falls Fire Department
Cedarburg Fire Department
Germantown Wisconsin Fire Department
Port Washington Fire/Rescue
Jackson Fire Department

The initial units that responded to the scene were able to quickly extinguish the fire on the roof and in the attic of the residence. The fire appears to be accidental and was the result of embers from a fire in the fire place of the residence igniting the roofing material of the home. There was no major structural damage to the home and the occupants were able to re-enter the home at the conclusion of the event. Again, there were no injuries to the residents of the home or any emergency responders. Mequon Fire thanks all of the neighboring communities that responded to assist.

Erosion control structures on Great Lakes - Wisconsin DNR

Important information for those that own property on Lake Michigan. The State of Wisconsin and the DNR have created a streamlined permitting process to allow for expedited temporary erosion control measures to taken to protect property and structures. The process allows for quick action via a self certification process and a list of pre-approved materials for use. More info is available below:

https://dnr.wi.gov/topic/waterways/shoreline/greatLakesErosionControl.html

Water levels on Lake Michigan have been below average until recently. There is now a greater potential for shoreline erosion and ultimately bluff failure.

Congrats Ozaukee County! Just one of the many reasons it’s awesome to live here.

Congratulations Ozaukee County. Your generosity has been recognized. A new study shows that, as a percentage of income, Ozaukee residents donate more to charity than any other county in the state. So not only are you consistently healthy (always No. 1 for healthiest county), you've got a kind heart, too.

In just 10 days, the Common Council will kick off the budget process for 2020. Meetings of the Appropriations Committee, which is comprised of members of the Common Council and the mayor, will be held on September 17, September 24 and October 1.

Your input is vitally important in determining the outcome of the budgeting process. As we try to balance the desires for maintaining or improving city services like police/fire, roads, parks, etc. with desires for stability in property taxes direct input from the public is helpful in determining what people’s priorities are.

Please forward this to as many people as you can and encourage them to reply to either me or their Alderman with their opinions. They can either respond to this post, email me at [email protected] or PM me on Facebook. Please also consider attending one of the above meetings of the Appropriations Committee and also perhaps speaking at the meeting to voice your position directly to the Committee.

Thanks in advance for you input on this important matter!

District 8 residents, I wanted to pass this along from a friend who lives across Lakeshore Dr. from Beechwood Farms just south of Virmond Park. This happened last night. The “man in the bushes” was actually on Beechwood Farms common area property by the pond. This is probably an isolated incident but please remain aware/vigilant. If you see anything, I actually recommend you call Mequon PD. Despite the concern of potential over-reaction by the PD stated below, calling the PD is your safest bet. They are trained in deescalation techniques and are trained to handle these situations with appraise force. My friend has special training through his military and medical experience to deal with mentally I’ll people like this and he is also 6’6” and 300# so he was uniquely able to deal with the situation the way he did. I wouldn’t recommend that the average untrained citizen respond similarly.

————————————————————

A man popped out of the bushes while I was uncharacteristically checking the mail at 12:15am. He didn’t appear to be a hiker. He looked disheveled and spoke in a manner that suggested possible mental illness. Instead of being reactionary, I remained calm and said hello in the nicest way possible. He asked for water and a ride to the nearest town over. I obliged and had him sit in my truck while I got his canteen and my keys. While riding it was clear that he was either unaware of his reasons for being there or was being evasive, so I was accepting of everything he said so as to not rock the mental boat. I told him that I was excited to be a family nurse practitioner and he then started talking about his disability, simultaneously grabbing my arm and yanking it toward his head to show me his disability (three bullets lodged in the temporal and occipital bones of his skull). I went with it and calmly kept my hand there, making sure to feel each one while driving on the highway. He divulged that he had fallen in with the wrong crowd. I didn’t dig further.

My wife was worried because my phone died during this drive. I didn’t initially call the police for a couple of reasons...this man appeared unstable and I didn’t want him turning on me or my family. He was also a Black man in Mequon and I didn’t want him to be shot if he turned on the police due to his mental status. He directed me to drop him off at a gas station in Milwaukee’s poorest zip code (53206). I gave him some money and he called me an angel man, which was nice.

The experience left me feeling a little worried that his presence in my bushes might not be random, and that he could have been watching us for a while. We are buying shades for all windows today.

He was about 5’ 9”, Black, and had long curly salt and pepper hair with a short white beard. The close proximity of his chin to his nose suggested some missing teeth, though I could not confirm in the dark. I guess his age to be about 55-60 years old.

I did call the Mequon police and reported the incident after I returned home.

Fear the deer: Aggressive encounters on the rise in B.C.

District 8 residents, please keep a close eye on your dogs. There were at least two encounters with aggressive deer in Beechwood Farms today. Most likely it is a mother deer with a newborn fawn. One resident reported a deer confronting her barking dog in her porch which she was able to chase away. I also had my own encounter just a few minutes ago as a deer, perhaps the same one attacked my dogs when I let them out. It was trying to trample them to death. I charged the deer screaming as loud as I could and got within about 2 feet of it before it backed off.

This news story below showed exactly what happened to me. Please keep an eye on your dogs! I wouldn’t let them out without a leash and close supervision for at least a couple of weeks until the fawns get stronger and the mom’s a little less protective.....

Conservation officers received four reports on Sunday of aggressive does stalking people out walking their dogs - even confronting them. Subscribe to CTV New...
