BURLINGTON…DISCOVER THE TREASURES
Watch those bids!
Changing it up again this
year, from chairs to garden
benches, you’ll love the
creativity of this year’s artists!
In partnership with Burlington High School, students in the Burlington
Construction Academy build benches suitable for your garden,
child’s room, entry way – well, just about anywhere in your house.
Once that building phase was completed, Burlington High School students,
under the direction of Shannon Wiswell, created more beautiful works of art for
the Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce Bench Auction. Also this year, art
students from Catholic Central High School, under the direction of Sue Sheldon,
painted beautiful chairs which will also be out in the community for auction.
The proceeds from the auction are used for an annual scholarship and
community marketing and tourism projects. Our talented students have
out done themselves. Also this year, art students from Catholic Central
High School, under the direction of Sue Sheldon, painted beautiful chairs
which will also be out in the community for auction.
The benches and chairs will be featured at Associated Bank,
Badgerland Financial, BMO Harris Bank, Coffee House at
Chestnut & Pine, Community State Bank Educator’s Credit Union,
Fox River State Bank, Gooseberries Fresh Food Market, Hampton
Inn, Johnson Bank, Landmark Credit Union, North Shore Bank,
Richter’s Marketplace, and Town Bank, allowing everyone a
chance to bid on the bench of your choice. Visit us on
Facebook or go to www.burlingtonchamber.org to find exact
locations of each bench.
Please call 262-763-6044 for more information.
Auction ends May 31st.
BURLINGTON…DISCOVER THE TREASURES
Discover
Life in Burlington
By Jan Ludtke, Executive Director
Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce
Our customers and visitors turn to us to help them relax and
enjoy themselves year-round. You can always count on a
short getaway for an emotional lift, whether shopping,
spending time with families, discovering our natural
resources, or planning for a hunting or holiday road trip.
Tourism is a catalyst for growth and economic stimulus in
other business sectors in communities and cities of all
populations. This is an important message as it helps our
local businesses survive and thrive. Our recent guidebook
produced by CSI Media and Quad/Graphics is used
extensively for this marketing effort. Additional marketing
efforts reach out to areas in Minnesota, Illinois, Indiana and,
of course, all of Wisconsin.
To continue to strengthen our image and enhance the
Burlington experience, each month this leisure section known
as “Burlington Discover the Treasures” is produced by the
Burlington Area Chamber of Commerce. Our efforts tie
many facets together and serve many purposes.
Chocolate Extravaganza
We are committed to partnering with the Walworth County
Visitors Bureau, Racine County and other county CVBs and
Chambers to undertake area-wide marketing efforts as a
tourism destination. Through these partnerships, we uncover
and promote the differentiating factors that make each
area a unique tourist experience.
Enjoy a fabulous getaway this summer. Plan yours right now
in Wisconsin, and, it can begin right here at home. Visit us at
www.burlingtonchamber.org, 113 E. Chestnut Street and
“Like” us on Facebook.
And the Winners Are…
With WLKG 96.1’s Nancy
Douglass doing the emceeing,
the Chocolate Extravaganza
was hit on March 21st at the
Burlington High School. The
tasty treats of the Chocolate
Extravaganza were admired,
sampled and judged. Event
goers eagerly waited for their
chance to try the delicious
entries, while enjoying all the
entertainment the Chocolate
Extravaganza had to offer!
While all of the Bake-Off entries were full of chocolaty goodness, only a few
could be chosen as winners, and here they are:

Have you had your salad today?
Eating salad greens is an easy way
to fill up on fiber and add nutrients
to your healthy-eating habits. However, it is easy to get into a salad rut,
and who wants to eat a boring
salad? Keep it interesting by
growing your own! It’s
easy to do and you
can choose from a
myriad of gourmet
mixes that you
won’t find in the
grocery store.
Don’t these sound
delicious?
Farmers Market
Lettuce Blend is a mix of
tender and sweet lettuces in
reds and greens. It includes the
frilly, lime-green Tango, upright
green Little Gem, crimson Cimarron
and burgundy Outredgeous.
California Spicy Green Mix is a
beautiful blend of colors and
textures for a full flavored salad. It
contains peppery arugula, sweet
Mizua, tangy Dijon-flavored Red
Mustard and nutty French Curly
Endive. Mmmmmm!
APRIL 2015
Page 5
Like it sweet? Sweetie Baby
Romaine is for you! This new
variety is compact, juicy, and ideal
for containers. It is also slow to bolt
and heat tolerant.
Gourmet Braising Mix is a
brand new blend of Ruby
Queen and Bulls Blood
beet greens with
Silverado and
Eldorado chards.
It’s delicious
when sautéed or
quickly braised.
Create Your
Own Salad Blend
It’s fun to create
your own salad blend
of leafy greens. Choose
several types of greens and mix
the seed together in a jar before
planting. Each brings its own flavor
to the salad bowl. Start with leaf
lettuce like romaine. Add in bibb
lettuce like buttercrunch, then
arugula, endive, and spinach for
interest. Mix in a small amount of
turnip greens, mustard and beet
greens.
Growing Inside
You don’t have to wait another day to start your salad garden. You can
start seeds indoors and sow directly in a container. Choose a shallow bowl or
pot with drainage. Fill the container with a sterile potting soil and wet the
soil. Sprinkle the seed over the soil then cover with a light layer of vermiculite
or more potting soil. Keep the soil moist until the seeds germinate. Sow your
lettuce seed in a seed starting flat or in a container. If you want to grow
organic salad greens, begin with organic seed and use organic potting soil.
Growing Outside
Salad greens are a cool-weather crop, so they grow well in spring and fall.
To continue into the summer, choose a variety that is heat tolerant and plant
in a partial-shade location or in between taller plants. Once the top half inch
of soil has thawed, you can sow seed. Prepare a smooth bed; broadcast the
seed by hand, then cover with ¼ inch of fine soil or potting soil. Gently water
and keep moist until seeds germinate. Covering the seed bed with row cover
will help keep it moist and keep birds from making off with the seed. Raised
beds work well for growing your own salad. Use the square foot gardening
technique and grow a different variety in each square foot space. It will look
like a living quilt!
Harvest time
When leaves are 4 inches tall, use a scissors to cut them leaving 1-2 inches
of crown to re-grow. Apply a high nitrogen fertilizer like fish emulsion after
each cutting. You can expect to get 2-3 cuttings from each plant. Remember to
sow more seed every two weeks for a continuous supply.
With so many seed mixes to choose from, grow your own greens, and
keep your salad bowl tasty, colorful, and interesting!

by Jim Webley, 2015 Chamber President
As we transition into spring, the longer days, warmer
weather, and the chirping of birds makes us feel reborn.
This invigorating feeling energizes us and provides a
sense of gratitude. This is also an ideal time for the Burlington Area Chamber of
Commerce to show its gratitude to the many individuals that perform countless
acts of kindness, good deeds, and volunteerism to create a successful chamber
organization. Some of these extraordinary people have been contributing time
and talent for over 30 years while others are just beginning. For those “newbies,”
I extend a warm welcome to a wonderful team. For the long-term “veterans”, I
thank you again for your many years of great service. And, for everyone
involved, I look forward to a great year ahead.
2014 saw tremendous growth in the
addition of 42 new businesses to the
BACC. The membership is vital not
only to the financial sustenance of the
chamber, but more importantly to the
pool of talent that it brings to our
organization. Sometimes, as a
member, it seems as if not enough is
going on or being done to benefit you
directly. It is precisely at this point
that you should ask yourself, “How
can I be of greater service to the
chamber?” Our membership and
potential membership is filled with
bright, creative, and talented
individuals who can provide significant contribution through ideas, committee
involvement, or simply helping out at a single event.
It is important to realize that involvement in the BACC does not necessarily mean
being a board member, although the general board meetings are open to anyone
wishing to attend. These are held at the chamber office the fourth Wednesday of
the month at 7:30 AM. Additionally, there are numerous committees/events that
always welcome some extra help. These include the Annual Dinner & Auction,
the Home Expo, Chocolate Extravaganza, Sidewalk/Maxwell Street Days, the
Annual Golf Outing, and a local favorite, The Christmas Parade & Santa Chalet.
All of this and so much more is what contributes to the very high quality of life
that we all experience living in Burlington.
My challenge to all of you is give a little bit of yourself and reap the great
rewards that follow. We all play a part in making Burlington a great place to live,
grow, and thrive.

Hello Burlington Residents
Insects - everyone has them, no one wants them!
I will help you learn what you can do to take care of those
insects or rodents that may be bothering you.
This Month’s Pest: INDIAN MEAL MOTH
Where they live: In Homes or Commercial Buildings
What they like: They feed on grain, grain products, dried fruit, seeds, graham
crackers, nuts, powdered milk, chocolate, candies, etc. In homes they are usually
found in bird seed and dehydrated dog food.
How to treat for them in your Home or Business: The key is to identify all of
the infested food. All other foods should be sealed up in a clear bags making sure
that they didn’t get infested. Inspection is very important looking for pupal
cocoons and other adult Indian Meal Moths. Treatment should be done using the
crack and crevice method with an insecticide labeled for Indian Meal Moths
indoor use only.
Time to start treating for Insects is NOW. Being pro-active rather than
re-active will save you money and insect problems in the coming months
In the months ahead, I will be highlighting a bug of the month in Ask the Bug
Expert. If you have any questions between publications, call 262. 308. 3396, or

Win a Complimentary
Makeover...
for an exceptional
woman in your life!
by Tom Lebak
Organizations and groups of any size, even if they have experienced success,
find it valuable to periodically step back and do a self-evaluation. This kind of
exercise can stave off complacency, uncover potential new directions and help the
entity to refocus. This process, when carried out honestly and transparently, can yield
important information about how a group is doing, how it is reaching its clientele
and what gaps in products or services need to be addressed.
The old adage that sometimes we cannot see the forest through the trees is often
times true. That holds true in the economic and business health of a community
when a community fails to either foresee developing downward trends in the
business environment or misses golden opportunities to expand because it failed to
see them. Sometimes it is just a matter of seeing the same thing but with new eyes,
but other times it takes the nudge from an impetus from outside of the organization.
The successful organization reaches out to its constituents and is not afraid to ask the
tough and revealing questions and embrace the feedback that it gets.
Know someone who deserves
some extra pampering?
Nominate an exceptional woman in your life –
your mother, wife, sister, friend – to win a
complimentary make over at our salon (including
color, haircut, style and makeup application).
With that in mind, the Chamber of Commerce is taking the proactive approach of
developing a community-based survey to try and gauge public opinion regarding
Burlington particularly as it pertains to people’s likes and dislikes as far as shopping,
commercial services and similar quality of life issues. This survey will be a combined
effort of the Chamber, both high schools, the Racine County Economic Development
Corporation and the City of Burlington. And speaking of the high schools, staff and
students alike have really embraced this effort and their legwork on the survey will
be the key to its success. So actually there will be a mutual benefit; the Chamber gets
a valuable survey done at a fraction of the cost while our students get to participate
in a hands-on and important project for their community.
At this point, the survey is not quite ready but we wanted residents to be aware that
it is coming before this school year ends and to urge you to participate. If you are not
contacted for a personal interview, you will be able to access the survey via the
Chamber’s website. The survey results will be featured in a future column.

O
nly three of the street-side
buildings seen in this 1913
photo of the west side of
Pine Street between Chestnut and
Jefferson streets still exist. The
photo, which looks southerly,
appears to have been taken from
the upper floor or top of the
McCanna (Bank of Burlington)
Building now occupied by May's Insurance. The
photo was donated to the Burlington Historical
Society in 1972 by the Clarence and Clara
Gleason estate.
The building whose top is partially seen
in the lower right corner, behind the top of the
utility pole with the multiple insulators, is now
occupied by Chase Bank. At the time of the
photo, the Meinhardt Bank occupied the building, which was erected by Caleb Barns in 1847.
The next four buildings to the left no longer
exist. The two taller brick and stone buildings
were demolished in 1968 and 1971 to make room
for the bank drive-thru. The two shorter wooden
buildings were razed in 1914 and replaced by the
three story Keuper building, recently occupied
by the Schuette-Daniels Furniture Store, which
experienced a fire in April 2014.
At the time of the photo, Hugo
Breuckman's shoe store and Andrew Jacobs' barber shop shared the larger of the two brick and
stone buildings, while Mrs. Mary Stang's City of
Paris variety store occupied the three-windowed
building with the "Wallpaper" sign extending
over the sidewalk. The final occupant of the larger of the two buildings before it was demolished
in 1971 was Mrs. Evelyn Dwyer's Fashion Shop.
Before 1964, Allan Vogt's Barber Shop had
shared the building with the Fashion Shop. The
last occupant of Mrs. Stang's building before it
was demolished in 1968 was the Vogue Beauty
Shop.
At the time of the photo, the two wooden
buildings were occupied by John Jensen's bakery,
Leonard J. Smith and Joseph P. Schiefen's real
estate office, Mrs. Louisa Keuper's variety store,
and Arthur H. Mueller's plumbing and steam
heating business. The Keuper family had the
wooden buildings razed in 1914 to make way for
a large brick building that was first occupied by
William Rosenberg's dry goods and clothing
store. Rosenberg's closed after the building was
leased to the Montgomery Ward Co. in 1939.
After Ward's department store closed in 1973,
Rogan's Shoes occupied the building. SchuetteDaniels moved its furniture store to the building
in 1979.
The two-story brick building south of the
two wooden buildings was occupied by Frank
Mathews grocery store at the time of the photo.
The building, erected by Charles Keuper in 1895,
was part of the Schuette-Daniels Furniture Store
and was damaged in the fire in 2014. Before
Schuette-Daniels expanded into the building in
1986, the building had been occupied by such
businesses as The Rustic Hut, Headley Home
Care Medical Supplies, Julie's Closet, Tri-County
Homes, the Smart Shop, B & R Hat Shop, and
the bakeries of John Jensen, John Bauman, P. J.
Wallingford, and Frank J. Granzow.
The last building on the block, at the
Washington Street end, is currently occupied by
Flippy's Fast Food restaurant. At the time of the
photo, the furniture and undertaking business of
Henry J. Roesing and John H. Haas occupied the
building. The building was erected in 1908 by
Mathias Petrie for the Multiscope and Film Co.,
which moved to Chicago in 1910. The Roesing
furniture store – Henry Roesing bought Haas'
interest in the business in 1936 – remained in the
Petrie building until 1951, when Henry's son,
Arthur, moved it to a new building on Main
Street on the east side of the Fox River.
After Roesing's moved out, the Spurgeon
Mercantile Co. of Chicago leased the building
and opened a department store, which remained
there until 1967. Subsequent occupants included
Jackson's Drug Store, Lux's Gift Shop, Uncle
Bob's Sandwich Shop, and Beach Bed Tanning.
Flippy's opened in the building in 1995.
Across Washington Street from the Petrie
building is the property of the Wehmhoff family
whose house roof can be seen over the back of
the Petrie building. That property was
bequeathed to the city following the death of the
last family member in 1968 and is now a city
park called Wehmhoff Square.
In the upper left corner of the photo,
south of the Wehmhoff property, is a large stone
house with a tower. The site is now occupied by
the Burlington Public Library. The house, built
by Dr. Frederick Kords and his wife Maria in
1868, originally had three stories, 22 rooms, and
a flat roof. The Kords' son, Dr. Louis Kords, and
his wife Frances moved to the house in 1876
after his parents built and moved to another
residence on the east side of the Fox River. The
Kords sold the house to Dr. A. J. Rosenberry in
1885 and he, in turn, sold it to Dr. Levi N. Hicks
and his wife Elva in 1886. Dr. Hicks put in steam
heating and hot and cold water and fitted the
building up as a sanitarium. He also added the
peaked roof and had a barn built on the property.
Dr. Hicks sold the property and his
medical practice to Dr. William A. Fulton in 1893,
with Dr. Fulton selling the property a short time
later to Elliott C. Benson in exchange for another
property that Benson owned. Benson's daughter
and son-in-law, Emma and Louis Smithers,
converted the building to a boarding house and
hotel. Subsequently, Peter M. Jacobson, Mrs. D.
M. Edgerton, and Mrs. Mary Pierce leased and
operated the boarding house, each for a few
years with Mrs. Smithers conducting the
business between leases. During the time he
owned the property, Benson built two smaller
frame houses on the property.
The property was sold to the U.S.
Government in 1915, with the two frame houses
moved, one to Madison Street and the other to
Perkins Boulevard just south of the Episcopal
church. The large stone house was torn down to
make way for a new post office building. The
post office opened June 1, 1918, and remained in
the building until 1961. The Government then
sold the building to the City of Burlington. The
Library moved into the former post office
building in August 1964.
