“Try it, you’ll like it”
“Try my new bike, it has
‘indexed shifting’!” said
our friend Ron who was visiting us with
some other friends on May 23, 1992. That
day Ron and friend John biked about 20
miles to Green Lake and back. I tried Ron’s
bike and experienced the “Click” of the indexed shifting. That was all it took to change
our world. Our previous bikes had been old
10-speeds with “hunt and grind” shift levers
on the downtube. As a mechanical engineer
the grinding of gears (or chain and sprockets) was not music to my ears. The new indexed shifting was music to my ears, as the
next gear was a simple “click” away.
“Round the buoy and into
the wind!”

Wednesday mornings are a ritual. I remember how much I loved helping get my
mom's pram out of the garage and carry it
down the hill to ease it carefully into the
lake. It was a lovely bright blue with a warm
wood interior like an antique piece of furniture. The lines and hardware were just my
size. On occasion I would fit snugly in with
my mom and go for a sail. Most days, I
watched her sail away from the pier and join
the others on the racecourse. "Good luck,
Mom!"

Little did Judy and I realize how much
that “Click” would change our lives for
years to come.
On April 15, 1993, we bought new bikes
with the new “click” shifting. I wanted the
bike to have a seat with the thickest padding
and with the highest handlebars available to
mankind so I could sit upright.

It wasn't for many years, after my mom
had quit sailing, that I understood how competitive this group of women sailors truly
was and what a Green Lake tradition I was
destined to be part of. As a young adult,
qualifying me by age as a "Sr. Girl", my
Aunt Jill encouraged me to race and gave me
her pram. It was the newest in the fleet, perhaps the last wooden Green Lake pram
made.

DOWNTOWN GREEN LAKE
RENEWAL PROJECT AND
TOWN SQUARE
MERGE
TO FORM A
DYNAMIC NEW
ORGANIZATION!
Green Lake County area’s two most dynamic organizations, Downtown Green Lake
Renewal Project and Town Square (operated
by The Cornerstone Project), have merged,
forming Green Lake Renewal, Inc., a new
non-profit organization focusing on revitalization of the entire Green Lake area through
economic development. The announcement
was made on Saturday, July 11 at the Hoedown fundraiser held by the two groups at
Boerson Farm, an event made possible by
the Boerson and Pearsall families and organized by Joan Lloyd.
In just six years since the inception of
Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project,
and three years since the opening of Town
Square, the two organizations have made
dramatic and permanent changes to Green
Lake, bringing new life, vibrancy and a
sense of optimism to the area. Projects range
from opening a fitness center to offering
university-level classes to constructing a 270
-foot wharf to completing a large number of
Lake Renewal.
“Everything we’ve done has been
aimed at strengthening our area’s economy,”
said Burkart. “Both organizations have invested in high-impact projects aimed at long
-term growth—from the physical improvements in Green Lake to transforming the
former courthouse into a vibrant community
center.”
“By making this an attractive place to
live, and—at Town Square—providing people with resources that they don’t normally
find in a small town, we’ve created an environment that makes people want to live
here.” added Johnson.
“Now we’re taking it to the next level,”
she said, “One of our immediate goals is to
provide opportunities for young families to
live here through our initiative to bring in
good jobs.”
Green Lake Renewal’s first major project
will be Hill Street Station, the renovation
into office space and marketing of the former Green Lake County Safety Building.
The project, which began a year ago as a
joint initiative by Town Square and Downtown Green Lake Renewal Project, recently
completed its first phase—a feasibility study
funded by a grant from The Wisconsin Economic Development Corporations with assistance from The City of Green Lake and a

number of private donors.
“We will be actively seeking a larger
company to locate in downtown Green
Lake,” said Johnson. “One that will offer up
to 100 or more professional-level jobs.”
Added Burkart, “We’re seeking to develop an industry niche that will serve as a
springboard to attract further development.
We think that the downtown location—
physically right in the middle of Green Lake
County and Ripon—is key. You can really
live ‘the good life’ right here in Green Lake,
raise your family, and get to work where you
play.”
“When we
created Town
Square,
we
called it ‘a
community
center for the
21st Century.’
What we mean
by that is creation of critical
mass—people
see one another here and
talk to one
another. Ideas
are generated.
The energy is
c on t a gi ous. ”
Said Fran Hill,
CEO of Green
Lake Renewal.
“Small towns across the nation and around
the world are struggling to survive. Our ultimate goal is to create the model for how
small communities will live and work into
the 21st Century.
THE CLICK TO ADVENTURE
STORY CONTINUED ...
I biked in my cutoffs. Our biking would
be the plodding-along type…..nothing
wrong with plodding along.
We were “weekenders” at the lake then,
and the first weekend – April 17, 1993 – was
here with our new bikes. The weather was
good. Soon we were off on our first biking
“adventure”, to the Terrace area. When we
got back we had to jump in the car to drive
our bike route and measure the distance (we
didn’t have an odometer on our bikes).
Seven miles!! We felt good!
The next day we biked a country loop
south from our place. When we got back we
again eagerly jumped in the car and measured the 11 miles we had biked.
The following weekend was cold and
Judy had to be away for the weekend…. I
rationalized that I couldn’t bike by myself.
paved path along State Hwy 23 for a couple
of neophytes to bike on. We had to bike on
the Highway with the fast cars. We made it
and we were Happy Bikers! About 23
miles! We still had no idea where our biking
future would take us, literally.
Later that year we read classified ads in
bike magazines that told of biking trips to
just about any place in the world! I had had
the wild idea of walking around all the Great
Lakes, but biking them would be much
faster! (It is still on our list!) We were now
one “Click” away from bigger adventures,
but we had an obstacle in our way….. we
were both still working. One Sunday afternoon while in the hammock at the lake I
thought “We could fix that”! “Click!” We
discussed retiring on the always-sad Sunday
ride home.
By Thanksgiving of 1993 we had sold
our share of the company of which we were
both a part. We kind of want to think of it as
we had “downsized” the company by two.
We were busy dreaming.
By early ’94 we took part in our first
week-long group bike ride. The brochure
told about a lot of good food--that caught
our eye! What didn’t catch our eye was the
title of the ride, The Ozark Mountain Bicycle
Challenge. We had no idea what that meant.
It was a hot week and we were still rookies.
While going up the long Ozark Mt. grades, I
could see the drip marks on the pavement
from Judy sweating in front of me. Someone said if we continued to bike like we did
we would become good bikers. I have no
idea who said that or what made them think
that or if they were even sober when they
made that comment!
In June of ’94 we took part in a group
ride going the length of the Wisconsin River.
This trip now involved camping, but our
gear was transported for us. July ‘94 was
the same for a ride across Iowa, RAGRAI,
with 15,000 other bikers. It
was a carnival with lots of
food and fun!
We still had one more
“Click” to conquer. Late fall
of ’94 we took a 3-day testrun self-contained camping
trip carrying all our gear from
Green Lake to Waupaca to
Plainfield and back. No support vehicles, we were on our
own. It was a success. We
were ready.
Jan. 30, 1995, we took off
on our first big adventure.
We packed up all our gear,
clothes, and bikes and flew to
Auckland for a 7-week bike
tour of New Zealand. The
trip was a great experience
but we had a lot of changes to
make in our packing and the
carrying of our gear to get
ready for future adventures.

Then came Saturday, May 1, 1993. The
weather was good. We packed some food
and drink. Hesitantly and nervously we
were off on our first bike ride around the
lake. It just happened to be the Saturday of
the annual GL city-wide Garage Sale and the
streets were busy with cars and people. We
took our time. We don’t remember seeing
any other bikers on our 2 hour 45 minute
ride. There was no cutting through Camp
Grow or the GL Conference Center at that
time to avoid the traffic. There was no nice

Now one observes many more bikers
while riding around the lake. Biking is becoming a tourist attraction for our area. Bike
rentals and shops have sprung up in the area.
The Heidel House and the GL Conference
Center now have bike rental fleets to satisfy
the demands of their guests. Green Lake
Greenways was created to promote multipleuse paths and routes in the area. Bike routes
and maps have been developed mainly as a
result of organized fundraiser bike rides.
Green Lake has come a long way.
Our biking has changed our lives for the
better, health-wise and socially. We have
met many great people as a result of our

biking. We can’t say enough good about the
people we have met in all the countries in
which we have biked. We now understand
our bodies better as we place more demands
on ourselves. For instance, when biking a
lot, Judy has different nutrition needs than I
do. We have learned that eating salty foods
is not necessarily bad when sweating a lot
day after day.

The worst place we
have biked was in Eastern

biking across the US.
The best tour we have
been on was always the

Our favorite one-day
ride is the Going to the

In our travels in the States
we see towns and cities that
are catering more to the
demands of bikers and
walkers. It has been successful for these communities. The phrase “If you
build it they will come”
holds true to attracting active people to a community
with multi-use paths. A
few prime areas to look at
as good examples are Sanibel, FL; Coeur d’ Alene,
Idaho; Lanesboro, MN.

In 1988, having lived in Illinois since 1970,
Jerry and Judy Specht looked for a weekend
place on a lake in Wisconsin from where they
each had roots. All the lakes they considered
had some drawback. They stumbled across
Green Lake in the fall of '88, and although had
never been on the lake or seen the area before,
were impressed. Shortly thereafter, they
purchased a weekend home on the south shore
and became "full timers" about 2000.

To become a Sr. Girl, you needed to be a

60th ANNIVERSARY of SR GIRLS
CONTINUED ...
Every pram has a story, whether
passed on by family or friends or
hand crafted for a new user. A Sr.
Girl recently told me the story of
marrying a Green Lake sailor in her
youth and receiving a pram as a
wedding gift, crafted just for her.
Locally, prams were built by makers like Mr. Travis, Bob Rogers,
Howard Hanson, Mr. Brooks, Ken
Kinas, and Joe Norton, among others. It’s fun to listen to the Sr. Girls
share the provenance of their boats.
My mother will gladly tell you that
her Hanson pram is the best, extra
fast and well made. Others say my Kinas
pram, the newest, is the fastest of all. The
boats are becoming rare, but can still be found
in boathouses and garages around the lake in
various states of disrepair.

In our 60th year, both the times and the Sr
Girls have changed. The Sr Girls still sail, in
good old wooden prams, on Wednesday
mornings. We still convene on Zeratsky's
terrace for dessert. The biggest difference
today is the accessibility and the relaxed welcoming atmosphere. The competition is still
fun, but more light and jovial than ever before. While the wooden pram fleet is still
alive and well, the Opti fleet is a way to continue to grow using a fiberglass boat that is
readily available. New sailors are always welcome and boats are easy to purchase or available through the Green Lake Sailing School.
Membership to the GLYC is easier than ever
and the Sr. Girls are happy to help those interested in joining the tradition of the Sr. Girls.
Green Lake Greenways
is the one of the area’s best examples of cooperation in action. Greenways is often mistaken for a bicycle group or environmental organization. “Our work benefits both of these groups”
said Lauree Renaud, founder and President of the
organization.
Green Lake Greenways, a not-for-profit organization, was started by a group of local citizens, and working with the City of Green Lake Parks and Recreation
Committee wrote the first of many grants to build the
paved biking and walking path along State Highway
Residents and visitors from all across the state
recently had the opportunity to enjoy some biking on
several county road routes. Gear Up Green Lake
Fundraiser Bike Ride serves as the largest fundraising
event for Green Lake Greenways, and it includes
routes from 14 miles to 100 miles on scenic county
roads across three counties.

Since its inception in 2007,
Green Lake Greenways
has assisted in funding trail
projects, including
the Mascoutin Trail
which is open
year-round
and provides a
link between
the cities of
Berlin
and
Ripon. “When
we first starting
working with
the counties
that maintain
the trail, it was
only used by

Renaud. The trail was in need of complete
renovation including new gravel, benches,
kiosks and a parking lot, all of which the
trail now has thanks to the cooperative
efforts of Green Lake Greenways supporters, local businesses and county
government. The Mascoutin
Trail has a beautiful wetland
area filled with many species of
birds, not to mention wildflowers, and cows are also along the
trail for all to enjoy.

Answer: By far…Fireworks! So noisy and
terrifying!
Question: What is your favorite food?
Answer: Anything with ham..YUM! I also
love when my owners go to dinner and bring
leftovers in the car. If we make a stop, I
know that’s my cue to swoop in and gobble
them up.

On the weekends I greet customers at Teak & Soxy and
the Horseradish Food Truck
in Princeton. Oh, and I love
roadtrips!! I would live in the
car if they’d let me!
Question: What is your life
story?
Answer: I moved around a
lot when I was puppy. The
farm where I was raised was
trying to sell me as a puppy
but after almost a year and no
home, they just kept me
locked up outside and didn’t
give me much attention. Then

Sailing has been an important Green
Lake summer activity since the earliest visitors discovered the area. There
is no better way to enjoy the beauty of
Green Lake than to harness the power
of the wind and allow it to carry you
across the deep green waters of the
lake named Lac Verde.
The Green Lake Sailing School has been teaching
people to sail on these waters since 1960 and
offers lessons to suit every skill level, from firsttime beginners to experienced sailors looking
for a “refresher” course. Courses are offered for
adults and children and are taught by nationally
certified instructors. Regularly scheduled classes
are offered each summer during three,
three week sessions. On a limited basis as
well we offer private lessons. Our fleet includes
three Precisions, seven Barnetts, four Lasers,
eight Opti-dinghies and one Zodiac safety boat.
You will find the Green Lake Sailing
School at our convenient location on
