Fall is the time to visit Hafs Road Orchard.
2020 marks Hafs Road Orchard’s 27th year of growing the Honeycrisp variety of apples. Their first Honeycrisp were planted in 1992, 60 trees as a trial. In the next several years customer enthusiasm and a buzz in the apple grower community convinced Hafs Road Orchard owners Richard and Deborah Polansky to dive in. They went on Honeycrisp tours, talked with fellow growers and now grow over 1,000 Honeycrisp trees. In spring 2015, Hafs Road Orchard planted 400 new Honeycrisp trees.
The orchard store is bursting with fresh apples for eating, cakes, pies, apple sauce, salads and crisps. Please feel free to call (262) 279-3638 to check on quantities of your favorite varieties. Be sure to pick up some fresh apple cider and don’t forget the orchard’s handmade Honeycrisp caramel apples.
The orchard also has a fantastic selection of gourds and pumpkins.
This year Hafs Road Orchard has opened a new out of doors selling area.
Hafs Road Orchard is open through Thanksgiving. Check here for hours.
Honeycrisp are a delicious healthy holiday gift.
Hafs Road Orchard is conveniently located just 7 miles east of Lake Geneva at W632 Hafs Road, Genoa City.
The Sharing Center receives new van as part of grant program
The Sharing Center in Trevor is among 13 emergency food partners of the Hunger Relief Federation that will receive brand new vehicles to transport food to their communities as part of a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP).
Hunger Task Force is administering the grant on behalf of the Federation and will present the hunger relief partners with the keys to their brand new vehicles during this event.
The Sharing Center, which serves Western Kenosha County, will receive a new van, valued at about $40,000, said Sharon Pomaville, the center’s executive director.
“Funding like this is unheard of in all my years as a director, and in all the years prior,” Pomaville said. “We were fortunate for the foresight of the Hunger Task Force to take the lead and present a strong application. Grants are very competitive. It was immensely impactful to all who applied.”
The Kenosha County Food Bank also received a new truck through the grant valued at about $120,000.
During the past several months of the pandemic, need has continued to increase throughout Wisconsin. Since June alone, Hunger Task Force has distributed 1,790,463 more pounds of food than in the same period in 2019 – an increase of nearly 30%. Additionally, the Hunger Relief Federation has received and distributed more than 2.5 million pounds of Wisconsin milk, cheese and dairy products to families statewide, as well as 9,195,280 pounds in combination boxes of produce, meat and dairy.
In September, Hunger Task Force received $7.2 million in grants from DATCP to build Hunger Relief Federation members’ capacity and provide Wisconsin-based food products statewide to food pantries and emergency feeding organizations impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The grants included a $2.2 million Food Security Network Grant to purchase coolers, freezers, trucks and other essential equipment, and $5 million to purchase food from local farmers and producers.

Western Kenosha County seeing elevated absentee/early voting
Western Kenosha County is part of the trend toward increased use of absentee voting, either through mailing in a ballot or voting early in-person.
We contacted the municipal clerks in Bristol, Salem Lakes, Twin Lakes, Paddock Lake, Randall, Wheatland, Paris and Brighton. The clerks that responded all said use of absentee voting is above the 2016 presidential election.
Interest in presidential election is always high, officials say, and in this year of COVID-19 and its need for social distancing people are availing themselves of options besides voting at the polls on election day.
Here is absentee voting data we received as of earlier this week.
- Bristol — As of Monday, 1,390 absentee ballots had been returned and 616 had voted early in-person. Registered voters: 3,554.
- Paddock Lake — As of Monday, 392 absentee ballots and 270 in-person early. Registered voters: 1,876.
- Wheatland — As of Monday, 441 absentee ballots. Registered voters: 2247.
- Randall — As of Tuesday, 808 absentee. Registered voters 2,273.
- Brighton — As of Thursday, 410 absentee ballots. Registered voters: 1,030.
Besides mailed in or dropped off absentee ballots, there is also the option to vote early in-person.
“We have had considerably more this election,” Paddock Lake village Clerk Michelle Shramek said of in-person early voting this election.
In-person early voting — in which voters fill out an absentee ballot at the polling location — opened Oct. 20 and closes Oct. 30. Wheatland town Clerk Sheila Siegler thought there would be more use of the system in her town this year.
“I expected we would have more in-person absentee voting the first week,” Siegler said. “I’m hoping this second week will bring more voters as it gets closer to November 3rd.”
In Randall, absentee votes are approaching doubling the number from 2016, said Clerk Callie Rucker. And the town is seeing about 100 early in-person votes per day.
When mailed and dropped off absentee ballots and early in-person voting is combined almost 50 percent of Brighton’s 1,030 registered voters have voted this year, said town Clerk Linda Perona. In 2016, just 173 people requested absentee ballots in the fall partisan election that included the presidential race.
Paddock Lake village Clerk Michelle Shramek urged people who still have possession of absentee ballots to not delay in returning them.
“If they have a ballot that was mailed to them, the ballot they received is considered a live ballot and they should return the ballot by dropping it off at the village hall or mail it back before 8 p.m. on Election Day,” Shramek said.
In the end, elections are just another aspect of normal life that might be a little different this year.
“With Covid, we have to space out and it cuts down on how many can be in the building to vote at one time,’ said Siegler. “Normally, even presidential elections haven’t had a long wait (in Wheatland). But this is not a normal year in any respect.”

4-H Club may add community garden to Paris Town Hall site
The Paris Happy Workers 4-H Club received Paris Town Board approval to pursue plans for a a community garden somewhere on the grounds of the town hall-fire station complex.
The Town Board discussed the matter and gave their OK to the general concept at Tuesday night’s monthly meeting.
“I’m comfortable with the idea,” said town Chairman John Holloway.
Nicole Niccolai, the club’s general leader, said she sees the garden as a way to revitalize the club’s public service with something hands on and local.
“I kind of want to bring community into their community service,” Niccolai said.
Niccolai said the garden could have been hosted at her property, but she felt the Town Hall location is more central and people might be more comfortable going there than a private property.
Supervisor Ken Monson said he was concerned the garden be kept up so that it did not reflect negatively on the town if it got weedy or otherwise unkempt.
“When it comes to weeds, there’s a heck of a lot of work,” Monson said.
Niccolai pledged to keep the club working at the site.
“The kids will be working there regularly for community service,” Niccolai said.
Town officials also noted that currently outside water is not readily available from the building, which has no outdoor hoses. A hydrant at the site does not work.
Niccolai said she could supply hoses to use the outside bibs or could truck in water with a tanker truck her father-in-law has access to.
Holloway said the town will develop a list of concerns it has and ask for the club to come up with ways to address them.
Members of the committee that looks after the Veterans Memorial on the site also requested the garden not be located to close to the monument.
In the meantime, Holloway said Niccolai had the town’s blessing to apply for some grants to help pay for supplies for the garden.

From the Kenoshas County Clerk’s office:
Kenosha County Clerk Regi Bachochin is urging people getting married this year to make it a priority to schedule an appointment for a “virtual” marriage license application.
The County Clerk’s Office has returned to accepting marriage license applications primarily through the “virtual” process, via videoconferencing. Appointments will be scheduled for Monday, Wednesday or Thursdays. Call the County Clerk’s Office at 262-653-2552 to set up an appointment once you have an officiant, a location, are able to provide an email for correspondence, and have access to a phone or computer with video calling/chatting capability as well as access to print documents during the interview, if necessary.
“Once you set an appointment for application, you will receive an initial email with the virtual meeting invite as well as an application document that must be completed and returned via email before 4 p.m. the day prior to your appointment.” said Bachochin. “The morning of your video appointment, you will receive copies of your completed documents
that must be reviewed timely, confirmed via email, and printed prior to the beginning of the video call.”It is recommended if you do not have access to a printer, please plan to complete the interview where you can access both your email and print documents. The virtual interview may be conducted at your home, another residence or even the public library, so that you may access your email and have printing capabilities.
Even though the application process is fairly simple, conducting virtual marriage license applications requires a little more work on the backside for the deputy clerks; therefore, it limits the number of applications that can be processed each week simply because of time constraints, Bachochin said.
It is important to make sure you get your application scheduled in advance to allow for the state statute waiting period for the license to be issued, she added.
Wisconsin’s waiting period must be considered when scheduling an appointment, Bachochin said. Applicants must apply no more than 35 days and no fewer than seven days before the wedding.
“Often many couples put off the application process to the very end of their wedding plans. That makes it more challenging to fit in an appointment time that will work for both the office staff and the couples.” Bachochin said.
Bachochin said applicants must have a wedding date and officiant when they schedule an appointment to receive a license.
You will need to call the County Clerk’s Office at 262-653-2552 to schedule an appointment. If you have more questions about the process or any questions along the way, please contact the office.
There are currently no walk-in marriage license application services available at the County Clerk’s Office in downtown Kenosha or the Elected Officials Office in Bristol.
More information about the required documents for applying for a marriage license and other services the County Clerk’s Office provides is available at https://www.kenoshacounty.org/137/County-Clerk.
