VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR’S corner 

RECENTLY, A PARENT shared concerns about 

her child no longer wanting to wear a bike helmet. 

It is no longer “cool” to wear that helmet! 

This attitude normally begins around the age of 

10 or 11, and only escalates from there. How 

often have we heard that argument from our 

kids that “none of the other kids have to.” Below 

you will find some information and suggestions 

regarding this topic. At the end of the day, the 

responsibility falls to you, the parent, to enforce 

the bike helmet wearing rules within the family. 

Personally, I have seen several bike accidents 

with kids and I have seen the damage that can 

be caused to the head and, tragically, to the life 

of a young child. These accidents do not have 

to be at high speeds to cause trauma. In fact, 

two of the worst child bike accidents I’ve seen 

both occurred in a 25mph zone. This does not 

include my own bike accident where I flew over 

the handlebars when the bike stopped abruptly. 

No, I was not wearing a helmet. 

As we talk about bike safety, please remind 

your kids that riding down the hill from the 

MBCC pool to the beach should be done carefully. 

The natural reaction for a kid is to get up 

as much speed coming down the hill as they can. 

At the end of the MBCC driveway, there is a 

road which is a completely blind intersection for

the approaching drivers operating a vehicle. The 

kids need to be under control so they can properly 

navigate that crossing over to the beach. 

Here is some information and 

suggestions about helmets: 

Helmets are important for kids’ safety and 

to prevent brain injuries if there is a collision. 

About 20 states have laws that kids under the 

age of 16 or 18 must wear helmets. Please go to 

the following website for some great facts compiled 

by LAB: www.bikeleague.org/media/facts/ 

pdf/BicycleHelmetUseLaws.pdf 

There is an exercise called the "egg drop" 

that can be done in the classroom or at home 

to show how fragile the head is, and how it is 

protected by a helmet. 

Many teen and pre-teen kids don't like bike 

helmets, but do like multi-use helmets which 

can also be used for other sports, especially 

because they can put cool stickers on those 

helmets. 

Parent education is key - including data on 

why helmets are important for kids to wear. 

Parents must lead by example! Do your research! 

Promotional programs (especially led by 

kids) promoting helmets as cool and safe. To 

affect middle school and high school students, 

the program is best to be led by the kids with 

support from adults.

Dear Residents of Maple Bluff, 

Summer is one of the fullest seasons of the year and with July comes the peak of many 

of our summer activities and commitments. This month means it’s time for one of 

Madison’s great summer traditions, the All-City Swim Meet. If you’ve cheering on a 

swimmer at the meet we would love to hear from you. 

This past spring, my husband and I decided that this year we would try our hand 

at our very own vegetable garden. Unfortunately, the garden didn’t fare so well in our 

yard! I’ve heard from many of you that your gardens are thriving and we’d love to hear 

about it! Share your pictures, tips, tricks and summer recipes here in the newsletter. 

Remember, this newsletter is for you! If there is something you’d like to see in the 

pages here each month, or if you have a special neighbor you would love to see us 

highlight, please feel free to contact me. 

Thank You, 

Holly Rutchik

The Village of Maple 

Bluff Community Corner 

Garden Volunteers Needed! 

Springtime in Maple Bluff and 

the public gardens come alive, 

creating beautiful spaces for 

everyone to enjoy as they walk or 

drive through the neighborhood. 

These public triangles, as well 

as the Beach Park gardens, 

are maintained by resident 

volunteers. The Village provides 

a budget for planting each one. 

However, the Lakewood entrance 

and the border around the gazebo 

at Johnson Park are currently 

without caretakers and it shows. 

These areas need to be weeded, 

deadheaded, and mulched in 

order to look their best. A design 

is being drawn up for the empty 

area south of Lakewood Blvd. 

and help will be needed for 

installing plants sometime this 

summer. If you would be willing 

to help revitalize the entrance 

please contact Bruce Morrow 

at morrowcain@gmail.com. We 

would all appreciate your help.

I HOPE EVERYONE has been able to enjoy the 

summer thus far. We have made it through the 

majority of the local events, Walk for Courage, 

Madison Marathon, Village Garage Sale, and 

Rhythm & Booms have all come and gone. I 

want to thank you all for your patience. 

4th of July is here and the Fireworks concerns 

must be addressed. By Wisconsin State 

Statute it is illegal to discharge anything that 

explodes and/or leaves the ground. It is not 

illegal to purchase or possess fireworks, but it 

is illegal to discharge. Even sparklers, that are 

legal, can reach a temperature of 2000 degrees 

F. We are very fortunate to be close enough 

to Warner Park to view the fireworks that are 

professionally displayed, as well as our own 

Village Fireworks displays. Officers will cite 

for fireworks violations. 

With the balmy summer nights come 

some other issues as well. Some law enforcement 

instructors like to teach their students 

Make Your Own Memories 

The freedom to live without the worries of everyday life. Freedom to 

pursue your passions. Stay. Go. Do as you please. We’ll take care of the 

details to make sure that you’re free to make new memories. And our 

assisted living, memory care, rehabilitation and long term care services 

provide the full continuum of care should the need arise. 

Getting more information about senior living options is easy. Call (608)

“night time is crime time”. While this does 

not always hold true, it certainly seems to 

for what we have termed “car shopping”. I 

am learning that residents are not always reporting 

entry into their vehicles to the police 

department. Even if nothing was taken, it is 

important for the police department to have 

knowledge of these activities. We track crime 

trends of facts and try to schedule officers to 

maximize deterrence. 

So many times we are presented by the 

media with the “burglar” all dressed in black 

prowling in the night. The more common 

trend is actually daytime burglaries. People 

go to doors with a pretense and if no one 

comes to the door, may try to make entry 

right then and there. So if you see suspicious 

activities call 9-1-1 or the non-emergency 

number 255-2345 and an officer will be radio 

dispatched to respond. **By calling the

Melissa Droessler and 

AMI Montessori School 

MELISSA DROESSLER AND her husband, Chet Droessler live with 

their son, Roman in the Upper Bluff. They have lived in the neighborhood 

for almost two years, and have enjoyed every minute of it. They 

feel fortunate to have such kind and wonderful neighbors! 

Melissa Droessler of Maple Bluff and Carrie Marlette of Madison 

began the process of creating Isthmus Montessori Academy almost a 

year ago. Montessori has grown exponentially in all major cities in the 

United States and around the world. Melissa believes it is now time for 

Madison to be able to provide the same for its children and families. 

“We are Madison’s only AMI Montessori school serving children 

and families from the age of 14 months or steady walkers to the age of 

12,” said Melissa. “After three years, IMA will offer an AMI Montessori 

Junior High Program and a Montessori High School Program by 

2022! It will be the first Montessori High School in Madison and only 

the second in the state!”

fundraising and creating fabulous events for the 

neighborhood so that they can begin building IMA’s 

scholarship fund and building fund from the start! 

If you have any special talents, fundraising 

ideas, or if you would like to join us for a 

workday at the school, please email Melissa at 

administration@isthmusmontessoriacademy.org. 

Melissa and Carrie founded this non-profit organization 

in the beginning of this year with the hopes of 

creating an educational environment that responds to 

the individual needs of each child while fostering community 

involvement and collaboration. Melissa and 

Carrie saw the need for an authentic AMI Montessori 

school in Madison and they are passionate about making 

it happen. Not to mention, Melissa saw a need for 

a neighborhood school for her son, Roman! 

Isthmus Montessori Academy (IMA) will begin its 

inaugural school year on September 4th of this year. 

Their vision is to help all children of the Madison area reach their 

highest and unique potential. They seek to reflect and inspire the 

true diversity of Madison’s urban setting and to encourage a society 

of compassionate, responsible, and productive leaders. Their mission 

is to provide an aid to life through a holistic AMI Montessori 

Education; helping children achieve their greatest success, develop 

independence, and live with genuine kindness to others and the 

world. 

IMA is partnering with Drumlin Community Farms to provide 

organic and natural snacks as well as CSA packages for families. 

All families who sign up for a CSA through Drumlin Community 

Farms will have their CSA box delivered to the school during the 

growing season. As the school grows and the need for space increase, 

their farmer, Sandy, has agreed to help in planning the school garden. 

The older students will then run the garden as a business, proving 

the snacks for the school and selling goods to help raise funds 

for the school. 

The school is also partnering with Harmony Art and the Green 

Bag Lady to provide families with 3 organic cotton bags for spare 


clothes, library books, and lunch. It is a priority of their learning 

community to foster resourcefulness and sustainability. 

IMA is working with a Madison permaculturist to create a natural 

playground for the children, complete with riverbed and water 

wall. They are always looking for volunteers to help with the labor 

in creating the playground. 

The children love creating art, music, and being active. As often 

as possible they like to connect the children with Madison artists, 

musicians, or people who have special outdoor talents such as kayaking 

or cross country skiing. They have also had specialists come to 

the school to work with interested children, such as Archaeologist 

PhD candidate Emily Epstein allowing the children to help classify 

the specimens found at her dig site in Oregon’s high desert. 

“It is important that children connect with people in their 

community as a part of the learning process,” said Melissa. “It is 

an experience to watch a YouTube video of an artist create work 

with textiles. It is an unforgettable experience to work alongside 

a Madison artist like Bird Ross creating thoughtful and complicated 

work!” 

Melissa and Carrie have 23 years teaching experience, in both 

public and private, traditional and Montessori schools. Their inspiration 

has and will always be their incredible passion for working 

and learning with families and children of all ages. 

Melissa has a special message to share with her neighbors: 

Collaboration is imperative to the success of the school and in 

turn, for the success of the children. IMA is excited about meeting 

the families of Maple Bluff and working with them to continue to 

make our neighborhood a wonderful place to live.

The 10 th Annual 

Bocce Beach 

Bash Raised 

$25K for Parks! 

THANKS TO MANY, this year’s Bocce Beach 

Bash set a record for funds and fun. Our 

Silent Auction divas, Bonnie Stewart and 

Michelle Pressentin, solicited and coordinated 

over $20K in donations—which over 300 

residents who donated and bid helped to raise. 

Special thanks to the rest of the hard-working 

Parks Committee, the volunteer bartenders, 

Village staff, and the Martine and Pedro’s family 

for making this Bocce the best organized ever. 

And, of course, big congratulations to 

this year’s tourney champions, Teri Gehin 

and Eric Hausmann, for winning 7 matches 

to claim the 2012 title, have their names 

emblazoned on the traveling trophy—and 

drink free at next year’s Bocce Beach Bash. 

So start planning now. Next year’s Bocce

With your help, we’ll set another record.

Why Are There So Many Lake Homes 

For Sale In Maple Bluff? 

Most of the people selling are doing so because after 

many wonderful years of living on the lake with their 

families, the kids are grown and are moving out. There are 

also those who simply want to retire to warmer climates 

or a downtown condo. They’re ready to switch gears and 

find a home that better suits their new lifestyle. Facing 

your own life transition? Ready to make your own family 

memories on the lake? Maybe it’s time to consider a 

home move. It certainly is a great time to buy a house 

on the lake!

Calling All Kids & Teens! 

This is where you can showcase your services to the neighborhood. Your 

neighbors need things done around the house and you need a little extra 

money. Just have your parents help you go to www.ncpublishers.com 

and, under “submit classifieds,” type in what you want to do and what 

neighborhood you’re in. The next month you could be in business for yourself!

Village Wide Garage Sale Re-Cap 

Thank you to all village residents who participated in the 

June 16 garage sales, to those who did not participate but 

patiently tolerated the increased traffic, and to the Maple 

Bluff police department for their hard work in keeping 

traffic and parking problems to a minimum. Approximately 

40 homes participated in the sales. There was $275 left 

over from registration fees after paying for ads, maps 

and signs. That money has been donated to Camp Ya- 

Gotta-Wanna. Thanks again for a successful event.
