Judge Pepper's hubby reveals plan to keep book
acquisitions low at meeting held other than where it was announced
Hanewall announces he privately inquired whether
$100,000 library contribution can be diverted from acquisitions to slush
fund
Board scheduled and posted notice of a
5:30 p.m. meeting in "Library Program Room" but met elsewhere to discuss 'Auermiller
Gift' because library was closed
SHOREWOOD, Wis. (April
6, 2006) -- Jeff Hanewall, the squirrelly hubby of federal Bankruptcy Judge Pam Pepper who
managed to become library board president, wants to hide money like acorns in ancillary accounts. On Thursday he admitted private talks in which he asked whether a $98,000 gift specifically meant for library acquisitions could
be diverted to a "seed" fund outside the usual flow of library
funds for an endowment or quote unquote, "whatever you call it," but prefaced the confession
with "but I'm not suggesting we do it."
Lord knows, the library could
use a book or two.
In a comparison to six other
Wisconsin municipalities with similar populations in 2004, state statistics
show that Shorewood
was dead last in number of books owned.
Shorewood library also:
The Village Board on
Nov. 14, 2005 rejected
whiney pleas for special treatment by Hanewall and his surrogate, Trustee Ellen Eckman. Five trustees and
Village President Mark Kohlenberg endured then beat back a
longwinded, poorly articulated and rambling series of words
uttered with halting determination but little rhetorical
significance as Eckman, an expert on what makes old women happy,
went on begging like a snitch in a 50's mob flick caught stealing
from the godfather. The reason -- Eckman's bizarre effort to
'negotiate' a promise to give the library anything it wants in the future
despite the library's $80,000 slush fund.

Investigating a possible felony, police take 'Hanewall for Trustee' yard sign
into evidence
Resident asks police to notify U.S. Justice Department if official
misconduct is discovered
SHOREWOOD, Wis. (April 4, 2006) --
Shorewood Police today took into evidence a Hanewall for Trustee yard sign
after vandals ripped out a handmade sign that articulated the viewpoint of
the residential property owner and replaced it with the commercially
printed one supporting the husband of Federal Bankruptcy Judge Pamela
Pepper.
Police said the signs would be dusted
for fingerprints after the precious darlings terrorized and chilled the
resident for three years running because he criticized things like
Hanewall lying to voters.
Because the resident would have
rented the space had he been asked, police are being asked to determine
whether a felony "theft of services" crime was committed, and whether
Hanewall, in his official capacity as president of the Shorewood Board of
Library Trustees, ordered the crime.
"This is supposed to be a liberal
community, professional and progressive, but this shows how intolerant and
fascist the smiling power elite is, and a public relations committee is
not likely going to overcome the truth that readers will find on these pages," the
resident said.

SPECIAL EDUCATION EDITION FOR PEOPLE HOLDING TEACHING JOBS AND
CLAIMING TO BE EDUCATORS
Some doctors are better at thinking through
concepts than others, who merely ask old ladies what makes them happy then
spend the rest of the time on format.
Trustee Ellen Eckman, the self-proclaimed
better-than-all-others educator, received a doctorate for her
intellectually minimalist UW-M dissertation that probed a question on very
few minds: What makes old lady school teachers happy? Listening to this
PhD struggle to put three words together with syntax offers proof of the
failure of the education system she considers herself to be a shining star
of, despite the way it failed her. Looking at Eckman, you have to ask: "What
do you want out of education."

The increasing interest in introducing more
social responsibility into education reflects widespread concern with
the declining authority of the traditional institutions that dealt
with childhood socialization, such as organized religion and the
family. In this context, many people turn to education to fill the
vacuum. However, it is not clear what a “socially responsible
education” might mean.
Village Board puts
U.S. troop pullout from Iraq on spring ballot
SHOREWOOD, Wis. (Feb. 6, 2006) --
The village board today unanimously
agreed to place a referendum on the spring ballot that would allow voters
to "advise" them whether there should be a timetable for troop withdrawal
from Iraq. Trustees sidestepped the question of whether the
1,100-signature petition for direct legislation went beyond the
mechanism's purpose.
Village
Clerk Kathleen E. Greig said the cost to taxpayers of the democratic
exercise would be less than $1,000. Trustees did not say how much already
had been spent on staff and village attorney time looking into the
complexities.
Library
Board President Jeff Hanewall, an opponent of transparency in government
expenditures who is again running for a trustee position after being
repudiated by voters two years ago, did not attend the meeting.
Trustee
Michael Maher, who signed the petition supporting the referendum, said he
did not feel he had a conflict by voting on the question after Village
Attorney Ray Pollen said it was up to Maher to decide.
Seemingly needy for
approval, but who's watching the kid?
Insatiable
Mr. Hanewall wants (yet) another public position
SHOREWOOD,
Wis. (Jan. 30, 2006) – Whether he likes it or not, Trustee candidate
Jeff Hanewall’s tumultuous tenure as president of the village Library
Board offers us an undeniable record that arguably is an indicator of the
qualities he would bring, if elected, to the village board.
This is
Mr. Hanewall’s second bid for a seat on the municipality’s ruling body; he
was narrowly defeated two years ago by Trustee Michael Phinney, who
assumed office despite Hanewall’s demand for a recount that the repudiated
candidate did not bother to attend.
