CALENDAR 2 • LAKE COUNTRY POST • JUNE 13, 2015 GMTODAY.COM HEALTH By Eric Oliver Enterprise Staff OCONOMOWOC — I sure hope I don't fall into the lake. Those were the first words that went through my head as Mitch Pelsue of Boards and More, 124 E. Wisconsin Ave., stood in the doorway of his shop with a grin stretch- ing across his face. He quickly assured me I would be fine while he carried my paddleboard out to the dock, (I offered to help numerous times, but Mitch always turned me down). He claimed he had a perfect streak. Everyone he took out didn't fall in. I was going to break that streak. It was almost fate. I can balance, but not well. "Graceful" is not exactly my middle name. I walked into a wall when I was little. I could pro- vide support for my clum- siness for hours and hours and hours. But Mitch assured me I wouldn't break his streak. After lugging my board there, I drove Mitch's car to the boat drop-off of Fowler Lake and took his board out of the back for him. He gave me a life vest and measured me up for my paddle. He grabbed my board and placed it in the lake then he told me exactly where to stand. Then like a child learning to ride a bike he pushed me off to float. As I slowly made my way toward a buoy, I knew I had to try to stand up and fulfill my destiny of being the groundball through the middle, breaking Mitch's perfect streak. I put one foot up. Then the other. I was shaky. The board was desperate- ly trying to stay straight as my legs decided now would be the perfect time to try out dance moves I didn't know I had. I looked like a baby learning how to walk, but I was standing. I dipped my paddle into the water and with a strong pull I was going straight. That's when my second problem appeared. The current started pulling me away, and with my limited kayaking experi- ence (flipping over in Lake Delton twice) I never learned how to turn. That's when Mitch came to my rescue as he peacefully floated down the lake. He taught me how to turn. And 10 minutes later we were off toward the river. Mitch shared a million stories along the way, never shy to give my (at best) shaky paddleboard- ing many compliments. Mitch got on his first pad- dleboard four years ago and fell in love. He picked up two boards for himself and then opened up a lit- tle shop to sell them in Oconomowoc, offering lessons, service and deliv- ery with every board. He has expanded to include rentals this year. His job is busy enough where he is always on his feet, but quiet enough where he can slip away and spend an afternoon on the lake. He claimed he never met an angry paddle- boarder and it's a streak he hopes continues. As we approached the mouth of the river, a crane sat off in a bog, Mitch found a giant fish he chased around and that's when I realized why. When you get to spend time on the lake and watch as nature tries its best to surround you, it's pretty hard to be angry. Unfortunately we had to go back to shore and back to dry land. My legs felt tighter, my face was sunburnt, but I had a smile plastered on my face. I didn't fall in; I didn't break the streak, and Mitch's perfect game went another inning.

Local WCCF youth fund holders present check to nonprofit WAUKESHA — Waukesha County Community Foundation youth fund holders recently presented a check in the amount of $625 to Waukesha-based Addiction Resource Council. Joining in the presenta- tion were, from left, front row, Ethan Leverenz, Brett Leverenz and Blake Leverenz, all from Oconomowoc, and Joe Muchka, executive director of the ARC; and back row, Ellen Lasecki, ARC program finance assistant, and Lindsay Just, ARC program fiscal and operational assistant. In all, six youth fund holders with the WCCF participated in a real-time, competitive grant cycle process with the goal of determining which local nonprofits, all vetted by the WCCF, would receive a pool of $1,500. Safe Babies Healthy Families and NuGenesis Farm also were awarded funds by the group. The Addiction Resource Council is a nonprofit organization that helps Waukesha County residents and their families who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism.
