VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR’S corner 

MANY TIMES, WE walk through our busy day with barely a glance at 

our surroundings. Life is funny that way. We think we know what is 

going on around us but do we really look at stuff? Some days, I leave 

my house to head out for work and I think to myself, did I even stop 

for a moment to really look at the kids before I left today? Yes, I see 

them in the house, I may even talk to them as I am doing a multitude 

of other things, but, do I really look at them? You may get that 

same feeling some times when you drive. Suddenly, you find yourself 

several miles down the road from the last point that you really remember. 

Normally, the reaction is to get scared. Did I really just drive 

that far without really remembering what I was doing? Unfortunately, 

that is the result of our busy lives. In a perfect world, we would slow 

down and pay a little bit more attention, especially to those important 

people around us. 

Let me share a couple pieces of gratitude for things that I have 

noticed recently as I have tried to pay more attention to the smaller 

things in life. First, I really appreciate working here in this Village. I 

think this community and the people who live here, are quite special. 

I love to ride on the donated Segway and drive around the Village to 

meet and talk with people. I like the positive feelings I get by helping 

people. Just today, a resident was so happy after our phone call that 

it made me really happy just being able to make her day with the information 

I gave to her. There are many more examples I could share, 

but let me talk about one other thing I am really aware of: Maple Bluff 

has some of the best people working for the Village! 

I make that statement as I review our Village Staff. The people who 

work here are some of the most conscientious, hardworking, caring, 

thoughtful, and committed people I’ve ever been around. They care 

about their jobs and making sure they are doing good work on behalf 

of the Village. In many communities, the staff lives where they work, 

so they have a vested interest in the work they do. That is not the case 

here; very few of our staff members have direct ties to the Village. But 

that said, I have found that it really does not matter. We all care for 

the Village as if we did live here and I have found our elected officials 

and most residents, treat us just as though we were their neighbors. 

The positive feelings really seem to go in both directions. 

One of my jobs is to make sure that as our staff changes, new people 

that we hire come in with the same hard working, positive attitudes 

we are all used to. We want new staff to adopt the values and morals 

that the Village expects. As I work with the Village Board, we are 

planning for staff changes. I am anticipating that over half of the full 

time Village staff will be retiring within the next ten years or so. That

In the Northgate Shopping Center 

is a lot of institutional knowledge of our Village that will no longer 

be here. Recently, some of those changes have begun. Sandy Wilke, 

Clerk/Treasurer for the past fourteen years recently resigned to move 

into retirement. Also, Rick Rogers, who has worked with the Public 

Works Department for the past fourteen years, has gone on a leave 

for a medical issue that will likely not allow him to come back to 

work. With the loss of these two employees, we have begun the process 

of evaluating our needs. We are considering options for replacements 

or, for job reassignments. Please trust that with the guidance 

of the Village Board, we will make the best decision for the Village. I 

would like to thank both Sandy and Rick for their long time service 

to the Village! 

One other thing I want YOU to start paying more attention to. 

That is, your own personal safety and that of your property. We continue 

to emphasize that you need to lock cars and garages to protect 

yourself from thievery. We had many residents hit numerous times 

the past couple months. Don’t worry about what street they hit, don’t 

worry about what they took in those past incidents. Just worry about 

taking care of your property and your family. Lock your doors, don’t 

keep valuables in your cars, be aware of your surroundings and if you 

do that, that will be the best attention that you can pay to protect 

yourself.

Dear Residents, 

There’s nothing like a Wisconsin October! As a life-long Wisconsin resident one of the 

best days of every year is when I pull out the sweatshirts for the first time. For me, it 

symbolizes a special season full of opportunities to make memories. There are football 

games spent under blankets on cold bleachers and football watching parties packed 

with everyone’s favorite comfort foods! October is my favorite month of the year due 

in part to the baseball and football seasons overlap this month. 

If you’re not a sports fan there are outdoor opportunities, Halloween costume shopping/making, 

fall foliage tours and the foods that make our homes smell of cinnamon 

and spice. 

I’d love to hear about what makes fall special in your home. If you’ve got trick-ortreating 

photos to share, shots of the season’s colors or your favorite recipe of the season 

please contact me at holly@ncpublishers.com. 

As neighbors in one of Wisconsin’s most beautiful cities, October in Madison is sure 

to be a month of making memories in our homes and in our neighborhood. I’d love 

to share your memories with your neighbors! 

Enjoy all October has to offer! If you see me in the stands at Camp Randall cheering 

on the Badgers at this year’s homecoming 

game against Michigan State on Saturday, 

October 27th make sure to say, “Hello!” 

Happy fall,

HALLOWEEN TRICK OR TREATING HOURS 

OCTOBER 31, 4:30-6:30pm 

After 6:30pm, please turn off 

your porch lights and do not answer 

the door for trick or treating 

children. Due to a large crowd of 

trick or treaters last year that were 

disrespectful and often disorderly, 

we will be deploying extra staff 

this year. 

The thefts from vehicles have continued, this includes thefts from 

vehicles that are parked in closed garages. Keep in mind that now the 

thieves are only a few steps from potentially entering your home. We 

have been asked what streets are at risk - our response is ALL of the 

streets. There have been thefts of this nature the whole length of the 

Village. 

I cannot stress enough the importance of taking valuables out of 

your vehicles and locking your vehicles even when they are parked inside 

your garage. Lock your garage doors, don’t leave them open – an 

open door is an invitation. 

If you have bicycles, register them with the Village PD. We then 

have a record of the serial number. We can’t enter stolen property information 

without serial numbers. 

Other scenarios to consider: 

• A vehicle is entered at a football game, the garage door opener, 

GPS and some cash is taken - but it gets worse. When the vehicle 

owners returned home; their home had been burglarized. The 

thieves had everything that they needed; cash for gas money to 

get to the home, directions on the GPS unit, and the garage door 

opener to gain entry. 

• A woman’s purse is stolen. Her cell phone was in the purse. Her 

husband, who is listed under contacts as ‘hubby’, receives a text 

message that she has forgotten the PIN for one of their financial 

COUPON 

Planned Maintenance 

Agreement 

$ 195 

(a $ 35 Savings) 

transaction cards. He texts her back with the PIN. By the time they 

actually have an opportunity to speak, the account is maxed out. 

These are situations that have actually happened to people! Times 

are changing, we need to change with them to stay safe and secure 

in our homes. 

Not only are the times changing, but also the seasons. Give yourself 

extra time in your travels. Roadways covered with wet leaves can 

be very slippery. On those mornings that your windshield is covered 

in frost, give yourself enough time to have a clear windshield. Driving 

while peering out a softball-sized clear spot in your windshield is asking 

to be involved in an accident. 

State Patrol has started a publicized project about texting or emailing 

while driving. This is an offense that you can be pulled over and 

cited for. The number of individuals behind the wheel that do this 

every day are playing roulette with their lives and the lives of others. 

In one of the breakout sessions at the Governor’s Highway Traffic 

Safety Conference, all the participants were asked to list their top three 

concerns about unsafe driving behaviors. From about a dozen choices, 

the top 2 concerns by a very wide margin were texting/emailing while 

driving and speeding. Is sending that text worth the $100+ ticket and 

4 points on your driving record? For a probationary driver, after the 

first citation the points are doubled administratively by the Dept. of 

Transportation. So, if a probationary driver is stopped for speeding 

and texting the speeding citation is 4 points, the second citation the 

points will double to 8. BAM! You’ve got 12 points on your driving 

record and you just lost your license. 

If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1. If you need to speak to an 

officer call Dispatch at 255-2345. If you call the Village business line, 

it may be HOURS before the on duty police officer gets the message. 

The business line should be used for requesting on-street overnight 

parking and vacation check requests. Leave a message at extension 113. 

If you call the Village Center you are delaying a response. For calls 

that come here, we still have to call the Dispatch Center to have an 

incident number created. For the officers to take the time to do that 

causes delays in our response time to your needs.

Buying LOCAL 

Just Got Closer to Home 

THE MERITS OF buying goods locally can’t be overstated. It’s good for the earth, good for 

the local economy, and allows you to directly support your community. As we approach 

the holiday gift-giving season, perhaps you’ll want to check out some items made by a 

couple of Maple Bluff artists and a handful of others from the Madison area. It doesn’t 

get more local than that! 

This second annual Artisan Sale brings local artists’ goods together for a day of preholiday 

shopping fun, and convenience since the sale is being held right in the Village of 

Maple Bluff. You are invited and welcomed to visit the sale on Saturday, November 10 

from 9am until 2pm at the home of Mary Ann Germanson located at 924 Farwell Drive.

taught in the Wisconsin school system for nearly 25 years and creates jewelry, drawings, 

photo greeting cards, and so much more. An artist her entire life, Mary Ann also commissions 

paintings, co-authored a book, and teaches private art lessons. She’ll have an 

array of items on hand for sale at the event and invites you to come and meet some of 

your neighbors and support artists from the area, like Vicki DeWitt. Vicki is Mary Ann’s 

neighbor and has lived in the Village of Maple Bluff for about 18 years. She’s been a knitter 

for 13 years and will be selling scarves, hats, and mittens made from the finest yarns. 

“This annual sale is a fantastic place to find unique, reasonably priced, gifts. And it 

supports your local artists, which makes it a win-win event, said Mary Ann. “Please come 

by and introduce yourself. Since I’m a relatively new resident of Maple Bluff, it’s always 

great to meet more of my neighbors.”

Fire Prevention Week 

The reality is that 

when fire strikes, 

your home could 

be engulfed in 

smoke and flames in just a few minutes. It is important to have a home 

fire escape plan that prepares your family to think fast and get out quickly 

when the smoke alarm sounds. What if your first escape route is blocked 

by smoke or flames? That's why having two ways out is a key part of any 

escape plan. This year’s fire prevention week theme, “Have 2 Ways Out!”, 

focuses on the importance of fire escape planning and practice. 

Open House 

In an effort to raise fire safety awareness, we will be holding our annual 

fire safety open house on Saturday, October 13, 2012 from 9am-12pm.

Notes from the Department of Public Works 

A SUMMER OF extreme heat and drought like 

conditions will likely not be missed by many. I 

for one am looking forward to the cooler days 

and evenings that the autumn season provides 

to get a chance to catch up on projects or maybe 

take a break and get away for a while. None the 

less, there will be football weekends and yard 

work to perform, so find a good sturdy rake and 

take care of business. 

As you collect the lawn and garden debris and 

place it out near the street for collection, please 

remember to place material in like piles. The 

leaves should be free of all other debris. Sticks 

and branches and woody material should also 

be free of lawn and garden debris. To mix these 

items up may prevent us from collecting in a 

timely fashion - or until you properly separate 

materials as needed. 

Following these guidelines will help prevent 

damage to collection equipment or the personnel 

operating the equipment. Also, be sure that 

material is NOT placed in the street where it 

can be carried (whole or in part) into the storm 

water system that is directly connected to the 

lake. Avoid placing material near mailboxes, 

poles, trees or parking a vehicle that will prevent 

us from collecting. These suggestions are 

small classes

all very important and help us perform a more 

complete and timely service to everyone. 

Yard waste, leaves and brush will be collected 

thru the end of November and/or early 

December. Winter conditions can and do arrive 

at this time, so do not delay in getting yard 

waste out and available for collection early. We 

are able to make village wide collections each 

week up until the week of Thanksgiving. To 

wait until then or later is a gamble you take, we 

will do what we can with consideration of the 

seasonal changes. 

You will likely see department staff inspecting 

storm and sanitary sewer systems this time 

of year. There will also be some preventative 

maintenance performed. Some of these infrastructure 

features are on easements that require 

accessing side and/or back yards in order to inspect 

and/or perform maintenance. 

Refuse and recycle collections are going very 

well. Remember that placement of the recycle 

cart requires clearance for the mechanical arm 

of 3’ all the way around. With our ability to 

begin yard waste collections at the beginning 

of the week, the terrace and curb line is usually 

less crowded. 

We have had some recent street maintenance 

done on Lakewood/Roxbury consisting of paving 

small sections. There will also be some crack 

filling done in the next few weeks. 

The Marina Project should be nearing completion 

soon. I’m looking forward to seeing the 

area freshened up. 

Please, water your trees! Young and old, small 

and large. IF the weather fails to provide, continue 

to water at least once a week until the 

temperatures drop and frost begins. Consider 

mulching, if you have not already. 

Thanks! Call with questions or concerns.

Meet Four Generations of 

a Maple Bluff Family 

Submitted by: Sandy Thomas 

OVER THE YEARS, Grandma Olson’s house was a highly trafficked spot. Many neighborhood 

children have sat at her table enjoying milk and cookies and listening to Grandpa Olson crack 

his jokes. Grandma Olson’s grandchildren would easily escape to her home when they were 

not happy with mom and dad. Her love and generosity even extended to family and neighborhood 

pets. Numerous times, Grandma would call to inform us that our golden retriever, 

Maggie, had arrived on her porch looking for treats. We could not even walk Maggie past 

grandma’s house without her expecting a stop to nosh on something good. 

Every morning during the school year, Sara, Katie and Michael would stop by Grandma 

and Grandpa’s house on the way to the school bus stop. They’d take the daily newspaper down 

to their house and spend time chatting with them. Grandma would always keep a watchful 

eye on the clock, and out the window, ensuring her grandbabies would never miss the school 

bus. When it was time, she’d always say, “Okay, time to get to your bus, grandma will watch 

you until you’re on. Have a good day at school and Grandma loves you.” Grandpa would always 

follow with, “You be good today, you hear?” As 

Grandma would send us off to the school bus, we’d 

undoubtedly turn around from time to time to see if 

she was still watching us. Without fail, she’d always be 

waving out her front door and when we were on the 

school bus and driving away, she was still there waving. 

Every Easter there was an Easter egg hunt in their 

backyard. Grandpa would fill the plastic eggs with 

nickels, dimes and quarters. And then of course 

Grandma would slip a dollar bill into a few, just for 

the big WOW factor of us finding one with a whole 

dollar bill in it - we felt rich in that moment. Then 

we’d search her house for our hidden Easter Baskets. 

Grandpa collected tennis balls from the balls hit 

over the country club court fence. We’d help him 

scavenge the yard for them, and we’d put them in a 

big Rubbermaid bin in his shed. Whenever we needed 

some tennis balls, we knew right where to go. 

The Faces of Four 

Generations 

Viola Olson (great-grandmother): 

Viola is a life-long resident of Madison 

and a 34 year resident of Maple Bluff. 

She worked for numerous years for the 

State of Wisconsin in the purchasing 

department. She and her husband, 

Stanley, have been retired for twenty 

years and enjoy traveling to their family 

cabin and spending time with their 

two daughters, grandchildren and 

great-grandchildren. Viola’s husband, 

Stanley, was the owner of Madison 

Flooring for 17 years. He has laid 

floor at many of Madison’s most well 

known and loved spots: Camp Randall, 

UW Hospital, UW-Madison, Meriter, 

St. Mary’s, East High School and 

West High School to name a few. 

Sandy (Tripalin)Thomas: Sandy is 

a life-long resident of Madison as 

well and a 35 year resident of Maple 

Bluff. She worked for the Dane 

County Juvenile Court System and is 

recently retired. Sandy had invested 

time as a board member for Historic 

Madison, is an avid cyclist, and enjoys 

spending time in her garden and 

with her grandchildren. Her husband, 

Stephen Thomas, is a Family Medicine 

Doctor at Dean Care. Sandy has three 

children from her first marriage, Katie 

Tripalin (Arizona), Michael Tripalin 

(Arizona), and Sara Tripalin-Gingras. 

Sara Tripalin-Gingras: Sara and her 

husband, Bob Gingras, have been 

residents of Maple Bluff for 10 years 

and have three children, Logan, Karson, 

and Haley. Sara is a psychotherapist 

and recently opened her own 

practice, Peace of Mind Therapy. Sara 

volunteers her time with Carbone 

Cancer Center leading a cancer 

support group and is actively involved 

in Business Networking International 

as the current acting President. 

Sara’s husband, Bob, is a plaintiff’s 

attorney with Gingras, Cates and 

Luebke and the owner of the Madison 

Mustangs semi-pro football team. 


A few years ago, our family started a Christmas Eve tradition of 

kickball in the snow at our local park with hot chocolate and a bonfire. 

The family breaks out into two teams, “The Nutcrackers” and 

“Stocking Stuffers”, and we play nine innings to declare the yearly 

winner. The winning team has the privilege of signing the losing 

team’s t-shirts with funny quips. 

A Maple Bluff Family – 

“Maple Bluff has been a special place for all 

of us over the years. We have fond memories 

of Fourth of July parades and fireworks, 

neighborhood block parties, sledding and 

skiing on the golf course, swimming at the 

beach, riding bikes, gathering at neighbor’s 

homes, and watching this special neighborhood remain untouched 

by the rapidly evolving world around us. We have long-time 

friends that still reside here and now have their children moving 

back to raise their own families. Every day is a reminder of 

how lucky we are to be a part of this special neighborhood.”

How Low Will They Go? 

Mike Bacsi, your Maple Bluff neighbor and senior 

mortgage lender at Johnson Bank shares a few thoughts 

on the state of home financing this month. 

Mortgage rates* have dropped to a level that is hard to believe - a 

41-year low! Hereʼs how you can take advantage of the low rates: 

• Lower payments mean you can “move-up” and buy your 

dream home. Just a few years ago the 30-year rate was 

6.00%. Late summer 2012 the rate was 3.55%. A mortgage 

payment on that $300K loan would be $443 less per month! 

• Refinance from a 30-year to a 15-year, saving thousands of 

dollars in interest. For example, a $300K balance on a 30year 

fixed at 4.00% refinanced to a 15-year fixed at 2.9% will 

save $145,286 in interest over the term of the loan. 

• Consider construction financing for major renovations 

(something that has become less available from other banks.) 

Johnson Bank is a Wisconsin-based, familyowned 

business. Local, elite-level service is 

our strength. Please let me know if I can 

be of assistance! 

* Rates are subject to change. Ask Mike for a specific quote and APR.
