My family and I were honored that an independent panel of individuals recognized the hard work that we have put in to keep our property vibrant even amid some pretty harsh July weather.

Thank you to the Mayor, Roots and Branches and all the other honorees who help keep West Bend a naturally beautiful community.

Several constituents voiced their concerns about this technology and so I was privileged to sponsor the enactment of this ordinance, the first of my tenure as Alderman. As technology evolves, we must meet it with sensible legislation to ensure our community maintains a balance between mobility, recreation and safety concerns. I appreciate all of the careful work our City Officials put into crafting the language and hope this will keep everyone safe and supported going forward.

“Sleep, comrades, sleep and rest
On this Field of the Grounded Arms,
Where foes no more mo**st,
Nor sentry's shot alarms!

Ye have slept on the ground before,
And started to your feet
At the cannon's sudden roar,
Or the drum's redoubling beat.

But in this camp of Death
No sound your slumber breaks;
Here is no fevered breath,
No wound that bleeds and aches.

All is repose and peace,
Untrampled lies the sod;
The shouts of battle cease,
It is the Truce of God!

Rest, comrades, rest and sleep!
The thoughts of men shall be
As sentinels to keep
Your rest from danger free.

Your silent tents of green
We deck with fragrant flowers;
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours. “

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

A blessed Memorial Day to all those whose friends and family gave all they could for our country.
