Health Tip of the Week Registered Pharmacist Bob Stresing and the Serv-U Team 257302060 Preventing Diverticulitis Small pouches (diverticula) along the walls of the colon sometimes become inflamed or infected, causing a painful attack (diverticulitis). Some lifestyle changes may help reduce the risk of diverticulitis. Maintaining a healthy weight may be helpful. According to a recent study, obesity was linked to a 50% increased risk of diverticulitis. Regular exercise appears to also reduce the risk, as well as consuming a high-fiber diet. In one study, eating a high-fiber diet lowered risk of attacks by 40% when compared to a low-fiber diet. To add fiber to your diet, eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes.

No longer a fundraiser The Frolics had been the Bay View Lions Club's largest annual fundraiser until going into the red. "The lack of profitability from the Frolics has meant that the Bay View Lions Club doesn't have the revenue it needs for its community support efforts and commu- nity projects," Graziano said. "Further, the losses have hurt the Bay View Lions Club ability to sponsor disabled children to the Lions Camp, support the Lions Leader Dog Program for the blind as well as con- tribute to the Lions Disaster Relief pro- grams. "The Bay View Lions Club's motto is 'We Serve' and our mission is to help those in need locally in our community and also contribute to important causes throughout our state and nation." The event, which began in 1948 as the South Shore Water Frolics in Bay View's South Shore Park by the Inter- Organization Council of Bay View, has hap- pened every year since except 1993. Since 1995, the Bay View Lions Club has hosted the three-day free event featuring music, an art show, a classic car show, food, many family activities, a parade until 2014 and the Frolics "atomic" fireworks to close each evening. A portion of the fireworks, called "blow up the beach" for its noisy finale on the sec- ond day of the Frolics, was eliminated the last two years after complaints from some residents. Graziano said the fireworks change has adversely impacted the Frolics attendance and revenue. "At times, it has been very difficult and frustrating to deal with the fireworks man- dates initiated by the Milwaukee County parks director," Graziano said. Milwaukee County Parks Director John Dargle Jr. said the "blow up the beach" part is not something that could be revisited because an agreement had been reached because of the environmental impact, the new parking lot and neighbors' complaints. Beyond that, he said he would be willing to sit down and discuss changes. "I'd be happy to work with them," Dargle said. "They've been there so long." He's not sure what the discussions would entail. "We charge them a permit like everyone else. And that's pretty much it," he said. Once drawing 200,000 in the first decades, the Frolics annually attracts 50,000 to 60,000 people. Reszel said while the fireworks change has hurt attendance, the growth of other festivals and activities has also cut into attendance over the years. "People have a lot of choices when it comes to entertainment, but this is on the calendar for a lot of people every year," Reszel said. Graziano said the big questions that need answers to bring back the Frolics are: ■ Does the free summer event in a Milwaukee County park make Bay View, the South Shore area, and city of Milwaukee a better place in the summer? ■ Are the tens of thousands of people who attend this event every year from this area and city as part of their summer bet- ter off with the Frolics than without it? She said ultimately it's up to the public, local government representatives, county parks leaders and business leaders. Without major support from those sec- tors, "the Frolics will join the West Allis Western Days, the Circus Parade, RiverFest and other community festivals as former free summer events that are gone forever and our community will be worse off for it." continued from Page 11 Conley News Service WAUKESHA — A Menomonee Falls woman who had sex with a student she knew from her job in the St. Francis School District entered pleas in the mat- ter on Thursday in a Waukesha County courtroom. Kimberly Gersonde, 24, pleaded no contest to two counts of sexual assault of a student by school staff in a plea agree- ment that saw four counts of child entice- ment dismissed. She remains free on bail pending sentencing Dec. 13. A criminal complaint against her said Gersonde worked as an aide in the Menomonee Falls School District and kissed a boy and had sex with him after meeting him through a program there. It added she also had sexual contact with a student who attended St. Francis High School; the contacts took place at her apartment, according to the complaint. She was a study hall and lunch monitor in the district there. After meeting in March, the second boy and the woman began to communi- cate via email and Twitter and she began to show interest in his football and track practices, according to the complaint. During one of the breaks at a football try- out in Mequon, the boy told police, he joined her in her car and they kissed. Later that night they allegedly spent the night watching movies at her apartment and then went to bed together and had sex. The second boy then allegedly went to her apartment again on May 5 after a track meet during which time they watched a movie and then proceeded to the bedroom to have sex. Blake Peuse, superintendent of St. Francis schools, said: "Prior to complet- ing our investigation, Ms. Gersonde resigned her employment, the district immediately accepted her resignation, and she has not been employed by the dis- trict since the date of her resignation."
