Jeff Mastin, the new activities director at Port Washington High School, knows firsthand the struggles teenage students — especially student-athletes — can go through.
Despite finishing his high school career as the leading scorer on the Hayward boys’ varsity basketball team, Mastin wasn’t always a star on the court.

Professional wheelchair tennis player Kaitlyn Verfuerth is in her hometown of Port Washington for a few days before playing tournaments in St. Louis and Canada in preparation for the Paralympic Games Sept. 6 to 17 in Beijing, China.
Verfuerth, 22, who lives in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., is the No. 1 female wheelchair tennis player in the United States and is ranked 12th worldwide by the International Tennis Federation.
“Earlier this summer, I was in the top 10, but my ranking dropped because I haven’t played in as many tournaments. I want to get back to 10th by the time I go to Beijing,” Verfuerth said as she relaxed with her mother Katherine “Kitchie” Allen on the patio of the home where she grew up.

“ Allen will go to Beijing to watch her daughter play and hopes to see her wheel onto the winner’s podium.
This will be Verfuerth’s second Paralympics, which is held a week after the Olympics at the same venue. Four years ago, she competed in Athens, Greece, and made it to the quarterfinals in doubles competition. In singles play, she won two matches, but lost her third one.

Panel floats idea of
moving waste plant
off lakefront
Port commission wants concept
included in plan, but cost may
doom project

Port Washington should begin planning for the day when it needs to rebuild its wastewater treatment plant with an eye to moving it from the lakefront, members of the Plan Commission said last week.
“Isn’t it about time we start talking about moving the treatment plant, or at least start to plan for it?” asked commission member Earl Kelley.
“Maybe we want to start putting a little money in the bank every year or two for this purpose.”
|
Mayor Scott Huebner concurred, saying this would be one way to open the lakefront and increase access to the city’s north beach
“We’ve got to keep pushing the idea that this is important,” he said. “We should incorporate it into the plan to let people know that this is our wish. We’re making a priority of our beach and taking some of it back. I know we’re getting more beach access (with the south beach) but this beach is important too.”

Port's largest festival

Fish Day participants attribute
attendance decline to cancellation of
parade, bad weather and econom

 The crowd at this year’s Fish Day was smaller than usual, and the revenue taken in by the nine civic groups that sell fish and chips at the festival was down as well, event participants said.
The reasons were varied, festival participants said, and included the lack of a Fish Day parade, bad weather, road construction and the economy.
Representatives of several civic organizations said their revenue was down 10% to 25%.
“For a while, I thought Fish Day was going to be a bust,” said John Sigwart, who organizes the Fish Day stand for the Kiwanis Club. “It was scary. But it was salvaged by a good crowd toward evening.”
Although Sigwart said the Kiwanis Club brought in about 25% less in revenue this year, Mike Husting of the Lions Club said their revenue was only down about 10%.
