8 Walworth County Sunday Sunday, December 23, 2007 Place Your Ad Today!! MBA to hold camp in Walworth WALWORTH — Midwest Baseball Academy is accepting registrations for its winter and spring program to be held in Walworth. Spring Training 2008 will be led by Big Foot High School head coach Alex Baker and other coaches from area schools. This training session is one of 125 programs held in 20 states throughout the country. With a player-coach ratio of 6-to- 1, each player receives plenty of individual attention in a smallgroup atmosphere. The fee for the sixweek program is $99. The Walworth session will run from Feb. 3 through March 9 at Big Foot High School, located at 401 Devils Lane, Walworth. The program is a unique concept that provides young players in first- through 12th-grades with advanced hitting and pitching instruction. Each week, hitters rotate through a series of supervised stations, including indoor batting cages. Each drill is designed to teach a different aspect of hitting. Players participate in hitting games and stations used by top high school and college programs. The registration deadline is six weeks before the session begins; last year’s camp sold out prior to the deadline. For more information, call (866) 622- 4487 or visit www.baseballacademy.net.

Walworth County Sunday Sunday, December 23, 2007 9 A HOLIDAY DISPLAY FOR ALL SEASONS BY AMY RATH STAFF WRITER DELAVAN — Like many this time of year, Norene Nelson’s home is decked with all of the traditional sights and sounds of the holidays. But, those who drive by in mid-summer might be surprised to see those same seasonal relics still on display. “When I was little, my family would wait until Christmas Eve to put up our tree, and would take it down again the day after Christmas,” Nelson said. “I loved Christmas, though, and so I told my mom (that) when I grew up, I would put my tree up whenever I wanted.” Nelson has spent much of her adult life collecting unique and rare historic and holiday items from Delavan and from various corners of the world. Making use of her maiden name, Nelson transformed her home into the Joppa House Museum, and her year-round Christmas tree is perhaps its biggest attraction. “I keep the tree up all year-round mostly because I love Christmas, but also because some of these ornaments are so old and unique that I want everyone to be able to enjoy them anytime of year,” she said. Some of her treasured ornaments are remnants of her childhood, but many are items she has accumulated from her time in the antique business or from friends and family who are happy to add to her collection. Many of her ornaments and decorations have come from downtown Delavan retailers like Remember When. “(Norene) is in here almost every day,” store owner Lori Wuttke said. “Over the years, we have come to know what types of items she likes, and so we will keep an Whatever it takes. eye out as we get new things in and will show them to her when she stops by.” Some of the pieces from around the world carry unique stories of their own. In a small nook off the stairway landing sits a small, white turkey-feather tree, originally from Germany. “The tree is over 100 years old and is very rare,” Nelson said. “Many years ago in Germany, it was illegal to cut down trees at Christmastime, so families fash- 532 E.

She also has several snow globes, fabriche eggs, nutcrackers, Santas and a large Italian nativity scene which sits on top of her grand piano. Other holidays are represented throughout the home, as well. Several ceramic rabbits with Easter baskets and many black cats and pumpkins line the rafters that divide some of the rooms. “I figured if I am going to leave the Christmas things up all year, I might as well leave all of the holiday items up too,” Nelson explained. Many other historical items also are on display, including a chandelier that once hung at the Delavan Opera House and an entire room dedicated to Delavan’s circus history. “I like many of the items she has from Delavan’s history, and I think it is very unique to see how things like advertisements and such have changed over the years,” Wuttke said. Nelson hopes to continue to add to her collection of holiday decor and historic relics, and is always on the lookout for her next intriguing antique or collectable. “I Just like having reminders of the past, and I have always loved Delavan and its unique history,” Nelson said. “Someday, I want to donate my home to the city of Delavan, so everyone can always enjoy all these items.” Nelson frequently opens her home throughout the year to visitors who wish to see her Christmas trees and historic items.
