Those who left us in 2013 left wisdom behind

Source: Milwaukee Journal SentinelDec.文件倉 30–One of them marched through the steamy jungles of Burma as a young man, engaging in some of the most miserable combat of World War II as one of the famed Merrill’s Marauders. He died in March at age 90, over a cup of coffee in a hospital cafeteria.One of them served up casseroles and cookies to generations of children — who, in turn, remembered her as the lunch lady at Mother of Good Counsel School.Notes from those youths made their way to her hospital room as she neared death in September. “She would just light up like a Christmas tree. She’d say, ‘Oh, I remember them.’ To her, every one of those names had a face, some little kid she saw every day for eight years,” her son Kevin Malloy said.Goodbye to Bill Binter, that soldier, and Joan Malloy, the lunch lady, and to the teachers and preachers, musicians and politicians, who left us this year.Before they left, some bestowed wisdom that only the dying possess.”Remember how easy it is to let go of this life. How hard, sometimes, to be in it,” journalism instructor Donna Decker wrote in a blog she kept.Here’s a look at the souls who left us in 2013.JANUARYDonna Decker, 45, journalism instructor known for engaging classroom styleDecker taught the media writing class at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, a “gateway class” taken by all students before they declare a major or minor in the department of journalism, advertising and media studies. She also taught classes on media literacy, gender in the media and an upper-level class on advertising and public relations. Earlier, she taught freshman English at Marquette University.”I interrupt this communique to tell you, as gently as I can, that my nurse, just this moment, had to take a break to help with someone’s passing. Say a prayer. Part of my praying has been to write to you all. Remember how easy it is to let go of this life. How hard, sometimes, to be in it. How little time we have to teach our children those very important lessons. Our lifetimes pass.”– Donna Decker, in a blog post written shortly before her death while she was hospitalizedSam Pace, 68, member of the Esquires, one of the biggest R&B acts to come out of MilwaukeeA sensation in the ’60s and early ’70s, the Esquires had a national hit with “Get on Up,” a bouncy tune that made it to No. 11 on the national pop charts. Pace, a native of Kansas City, Mo., joined the Milwaukee-based Esquires in 1961 — four years after the band was formed. Pace was a tenor. Growing up in Kansas City, he heard many jazz greats perform. The Esquires toured nationally and played at venues such as the Apollo Theater in New York City.”He always dreamed of being a singer.”– Nephew Ronny Reed Sr.Pamela Moorer, 69, one-time drug addict who lived on the street and became voice of Repairers of the BreachMoorer told her story to more than 150 church and student groups: sexually assaulted at age 9, her mother died when Moorer was 13 years old and it sent the family into a tailspin. Moorer left school after the eighth grade, had a baby at 15 and married at age 16. Four more babies came, and in her 20s, the father of her fifth child introduced her to cocaine. Salvation came on the winter day in 1999 when she walked into Repairers of the Breach, a daytime resource for the homeless.”There are no throwaway people.”– MacCanon Brown, founder of Repairers of the Breach, on Pamela Moorer’s messageElmer Lenz, 85, police officer who pulled George Carlin off a Summerfest stage in 1972It was a hot July night, and Officer Elmer “Al” Lenz knew exactly what to do when George Carlin cut loose on a Summerfest stage with “the seven dirty words you can’t say on television.” Police Chief Harold A. Breier had told him, “If he starts in with that, you’ve got to get him out of there. It’s not going to happen. Not on my watch.” And so Elmer Lenz became more than just a cop that day. Lenz became the cop who pulled George Carlin off a Summerfest stage and was named on the complaint that landed Carlin in jail.”I sat there and I laughed a few times. He was funny.”– Elmer Lenz, on watching a George Carlin special on HBO years later.FEBRUARYDorothy Nelle Sanders, 96, arts advocate and co-founder of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s African-American Art Acquisition Committee (now called the African-American Art Alliance.)Sanders held degrees in history and French and loved all kinds of art. She moved to Milwaukee in the 1950s with her husband, physician Arthur C. Sanders Jr., where he was one of the first two black interns at the old Milwaukee County General Hospital. They were among the first black families to move to Wauwatosa, and Dorothy often found herself the only African-American at the many arts events she attended. She served on the Milwaukee Art Museum Board and founded the Town and Country Garden Club. In 1994, the African-American Art Acquisition Committee she co-founded helped with acquisition of “The Ascent of Ethiopia,” an important Harlem Renaissance-era painting by Lois Mailou Jones. Sanders and her husband provided additional funding to acquire the painting for the art museum.”Wherever she was, she wanted to see the best of what was there. She said, ‘If you can, attach yourself to the beautiful things in life and look for the positive things — what’s good and what’s right.’ She’d say, ‘Just look at that tree, how the limbs are shaped …'”– Longtime friend Venora McKinneyAlice Stayer, 96, co-founder of Johnsonville SausageStayer and her husband, Ralph, co-founded a little butcher shop that grew into a mouthwatering multimillion-dollar business. Both she and her husband dreamed of owning their own business, and they saved up to do it. With friends Carl and Hannah Hirsch, they founded Johnsonville Sausage in October 1945. The partnership lasted until 1957, when Carl Hirsch died. The Stayers continued on, turning out sausage using family recipes dating to 19th century Austria. She did the cooking, but it was generally agreed that Ralph possessed the keen sense of taste in the operation.”With one bite, Dad could tell if Mom had prepared the hamburgers with the onions in the pan or if the onions had been added after the meat had been cooked.”– Their son, company CEO Ralph C. StayerRay Harmon, 46, former aide to Gov. Jim Doyle and Democratic Party organizerHarmon was a bright light in Democratic politics, known for deep roots in the community, a cool head and a competitive spirit. But health problems were a persistent thread through his life — for him and those close to him. There was his heart transplant, and in December 2012 his 21-year-old son, Dominique Johnson, had a heart transplant, too. Harmon had suffered from heart failure and lived for six months on an artificial heart before getting a transplant in February 2007. Six months later, his mother, Mary Harmon, had a severe stroke and died. The family that had so recently found life through organ donation — Ray’s new heart — followed her wishes and donated her organs. Shortly after his heart transplant, Harmon became an aide to then-Madison Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, leaving that post in 2011. After an unsuccessful run for alderman, Harmon served briefly as deputy chief of staff to state Sen. Lena Taylor (D-Milwaukee).”No matter what your circumstances, you can have a great impact. Ray refused to let the challenges of his health prevent him from being a voice in the community. He had so much wisdom wrapped up in that tall frame.”– State Sen. Lena TaylorJerry Kortendick, 82, electrical and building superintendent at MECCA, the complex of downtown buildings formerly known as the Arena, Auditorium and Exposition Convention CenterHe was in the house when Elvis was in the house, and the Beatles and the Bucks and an American president, too. Not to mention the wily raccoon that refused to leave after the Milwaukee Sentinel Sports Show. It all happened while Kortendick was on the job, from 1959 until his retirement in 1992.”Ten children — he worked hard to bring in the moola and support his family, and he still had time when he’d come home. He wouldn’t just say, ‘I’m tired.’ He’d play with his kids. He was my rock and my hero.”– Shirley Kortendick, his wife of 62 yearsJoseph LaPorte, 91, former Waukesha mayor who lobbied hard to bring the State Office Building to downtown WaukeshaLaPorte ran a popular restaurant, LaPorte’s Tap, before diving into politics — first as an alderman, then with four terms as mayor, from 1978 to 1982. He returned to politics in 1985, serving as both alderman and a county supervisor. Besides the office building, he worked to bring the mass transit system to Waukesha and pushed for senior citizen discounts, making Waukesha a leader in that area.”He always wanted to serve the people. He always wanted to make a difference.”– Daughter Kathleen HoffmeierLucy Cohn, 90, psychotherapist, psychiatric nurse, head of psychiatric nursing at the old General Hospital School of Nursing in WauwatosaCohn was a nurse by trade, but it was her relationship with her husband that made news. He died in March 2000 but compiled a package on his beloved Lucy just 11 days before he died. The package arrived by first-class mail, a hand-drawn arrow pointing to the address. Inside, an envelope for “the editor of obituary column, by husband Norman” and beneath that a last note to his wife in a shaky hand: “I love you, babe.” The package had been given to a friend who mailed it, as instructed on the sealed envelope containing Norman Cohn’s work.”The memories of Norman were very vivid. Their love story seemed to be a never-ending one. She would just light up whenever she would speak about him.”– Friend Ralph La Macchia, who mailed the packageMARCHMary Ehrmann, 59, longtime teacher in Milwaukee archdiocese schoolsAll but a few weeks of her 35 years teaching were spent in Milwaukee archdiocese schools, much of it at her alma mater, Holy Cross School on W. Blue Mound Road. Ehrmann taught for a while in Milwaukee Public Schools but didn’t much care for it. She said she felt like a babysitter, or a referee. She lasted about six weeks. When an administrator asked why she was leaving, she was characteristically to the point. “I miss teaching,” she said.”Mary often said to me she thought she was so lucky because she got to do in her life what, to her, was most important. She said, ‘And what’s most important to me is being a good Catholic schoolteacher?'”– Fran Quinn, friend and volunteer teacher’s aide in Ehrmann’s classMelvin Rhyne, 76, jazz organist famous for sessions with jazz guitar legend Wes MontgomeryRhyne will be forever known as Montgomery’s organist, from 1959 to 1964. But he put out CDs of his own over the years and performed with B.B. King, T-Bone Walker and others. His years in Milwaukee — he came here in 1973 — were spent performing at clubs — The Jazz Estate, the Main Event, the Jazz Oasis and jazz lounges at downtown hotels. He taught privately and served as musician-in-residence at Malcolm X Academy in Milwaukee. In the 1990s, Rhyne gained notice when he recorded CDs for the Criss Cross label, including the critically acclaimed “Boss Organ” in 1993 with tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman, guitarist Peter Bernstein and drummer Kenny Washington. Rhyne recorded with celebrated jazz guitarist Brian Lynch (“The Legend”) and the late bop guitarist Herb Ellis (“Roll Call”) in 1991.”It was just magic to be working with him. He just had the soul. He had the rhythm. He had the old school understanding of the music.”– Milwaukee jazz singer Adekola Adedapo, who frequently performed with RhyneChuck Arnold, 77, longtime broadcaster who filled in for Dick Clark on “American Bandstand”He was a disc jockey for almost two decades at WISN radio, master of ceremonies on the old “It’s a Draw” TV show with Sid Stone and the cheerful voice of afternoon drive time. But it was Chuck Arnold’s one-time stint filling in for Dick Clark on “American Bandstand” in 1959 that captured Milwaukee’s teenage heart. When his Bandstand day came, he was flustered by the studio crowd. He flubbed his opening line, announcing the first record as “Lorraine” when it was really Bobby Rydell’s “Kissin’ Time.””We all have bad days, so sometimes it’s contrived. But if you don’t like what you’re doing, you should get out.”– Chuck Arnold, on how he managed to be so cheerful when he was the afternoon “drive-time voice” on WISN radioBill Binter, 90, member of famed World War II guerrilla unit known as Merrill’s Marauders and founder of Milwaukee’s Golden Zither German restaurantBinter was just 20 years old when he found himself a part of what would become the famous Merrill’s Marauders. The guerrilla unit’s sole mission was to penetrate Japanese-occupied Burma (now known as Myanmar) — cutting communication and supplies — to reopen the Burma Road to allow supplies into China. Of the unit’s roughly 2,800 members, 130 made it to the end of the campaign, including Binter. He served as a medic during the rugged five-month campaign through dense jungle. After the war, he came home and eventually opened the Golden Zither restaurant in Milwaukee. He died after suffering a heart attack in a hospital cafeteria near his Florida home, where he met regularly with friends.”He never talked much about the war because he had such terrible, terrible memories being a medic. He said, ‘If I had one guy die in my arms, I had a hundred.'”– His son, Gary BinterThe Rev. Charles Y. Ho, 91, founder and leader of Milwaukee’s Chinese Community Baptist ChurchHo came to America in 1956 to study at divinity school in Berkeley, Calif., but his wife, Susan, had trouble getting out of Hong Kong. Her physical examination showed evidence of tuberculosis, though the family said she never had the disease. Their story came to the attention of U.S. Sen. Stuart Symington, who ushered through a special bill granting her a visa. The story caught the attention of the “Truth or Consequences” show, which arranged a surprise reunion. Susan Ho thought she was about to sign immigration papers but instead walked onto a Hollywood TV set of the show — bright lights, wild applause and across the stage: her husband and their three children — David, Ruth and Daniel.The family did not deliver the scene Hollywood envisioned.”We just froze, and Mom froze on the other side of the stage. It was just a frozen moment of nothing,” said David Ho, the oldest son. The producers of the show stopped the taping and had the family re-do their reaction.”They wanted us to be surprised. You know how Americans love surprises.”– The Rev. Charles Y. Ho, looking back on the “Truth or Consequences” momentFather Daniel Sherman, 93, Maryknoll priest who performed in vaudeville as a childOn stage, he was Danny the Wonder Boy, charming audiences with a hat and a cane and a song on Milwaukee’s vaudeville circuit in the 1920s.At home, little Danny liked to act out Catholic church services — he played the priest and his sister played the nun, with their Scottish terrier and their cat dressed up as residents of the imaginary orphanage they were serving.The singing career and the make-believe church faded, but Daniel Sherman’s calling was clear. He would become a Maryknoll missionary priest, traveling to China where he and others were tried as American spies and expelled. He would serve for decades in Japan. And he would eventually come home, making particular use of his ability to celebrate the Latin Mass.”He’s the epitome of a Catholic priest who is a priest 24/7. He knew his faith.”– David Tennessen, who became a friend when Father Sherman moved back to MilwaukeeAPRILNorbert Blei, 77, Door County writerBlei left his job teaching English at Lyons Township High School near Chicago in 1968 for what he thought would be the perfect place: Door County. And it was. He took up residence in a classic writer’s lair — a farmhouse in the woods, where he would produce 18 books — short stories, novels, essays — in a career spanning 40 years. Much of the time he worked from a converted chicken coop in the woods, piled high with papers and about 3,000 books.”I like artists who are almost obsessed with their work — painters who paint, writers who write, potters who make pots. You write to find out about yourself. If you’re in areas where you’re not finding out about yourself, it’s futile. You’re wasting your time.”– Norbert Blei, on the writing lifeAnthony Mensah, 86, longtime Milwaukee Public Schools teacher who created Rites of Passage programMensah came to Milwaukee in 1961 from his native Ghana, West Africa, on a scholarship to study at Marquette University. He taught for 28 years in MPS. Mensah brought the Rites of Passage program to Milwaukee in 1980, when his friend Reuben Harpole, distressed at troubled black youths, asked Mensah, “What can we do to save them? What do they do in Africa?” Infused with African traditions, it involved a series of tasks — all associated with identity.”People think they do not have any culture. They do not know who they are, they don’t know where they fit.”– Anthony Mensah, speaking at a 1989 Rites of Passage ceremonyPatrick Kennedy, 59, Milwaukee police detective who got serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to talkPeople sometimes said that he had looked evil squarely in the eye, but Patrick Kennedy, the towering Milwaukee police detective who got serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer to talk about his crimes, saw it another way. During six weeks of questioning Dahmer, he was struck, he said, at “how very much like you and me he really was.””I had breakfast with him and lunch with him, and I would bring the paper in and show him what the people were saying about him. It sounds weird that we became friends, but we were kind of friendly. We were friends. I actually kind of started to like the guy and feel sorry for him. He was a pathetic soul.”– Patrick Kennedy, on his six weeks with DahmerLenny Zuba, 84, longtime owner of Gordon’s Coffee Shop in RiverwestZuba didn’t just run a Riverwest diner for years — he presided over a neighborhood institution. It was an institution founded on elbow grease, saturated fat and one-liners, devoted to the cause of cheap, tasty chow, bountiful banter and the firm belief that a greasy spoon can hold the keys to culinary heaven. Zuba wielded a soup ladle like a gavel while holding court at the former funeral home his Uncle Al turned into a restaurant at 825 E. Center St. Zuba insisted that all customers order soup, no matter what else they ordered. The edict was reinforced by a sign by the cash register — “No shoes, no shirt, no soup, no service.””My dad had a knack for being able to insult customers and endear them at the same time.”– Son Jerry ZubaCissie Peltz, 85, grand dame of Milwaukee art communityPeltz began her career as a cartoonist in the 1950s. Her social satire illustrations appeared for 40 years in The New York Times, the Chicago Tribune, The Milwaukee Journal and Saturday Review. Beginning in 1989, Peltz ran one of the more established — and welcoming — art galleries in town, a gallery that championed female and minority artists. Peltz’s gallery was in a home, a bright purple Victorian house on Milwaukee’s east side. You had to ring the bell to get in, and Peltz often greeted visitors in art T-shirts featuring her favorite artists.”It was such a personal gallery.”– Artist Warrington Colescott, a patriarch of the Wisconsin art communityMAYLena Sommers, 69, advocate for youthSommers had what her daughter called “a laboring childhood.” Born in Baton Rouge, La., Sommers endured violent relationships, ran away from an orphanage and was taken in by a woman she came to call “Mom Mary.” Details of her youth were painful and came to her family in incomplete snippets. She’d been put to work picking cotton at the age of 6. But those who knew her also knew that those early years forged her into a tireless youth worker — with decades spent at the Next Door Foundation and the Nehemiah Project.”To come away from all of that, you could be bitter and angry. She turned it all around to look out for kids like she used to be.”– Marye Beth Dugan, executive director of the Nehemiah ProjectMyron Ratkowski, 90, former Greendale police chiefRatkowski rose through the ranks of the Milwaukee police department, serving in the detective bureau and vice squad. He was a captain in 1971 when he applied for the top cop job in Greendale, a position he held for 14 years. He presided over a department that expanded during a time when the village was transformed by the opening of Southridge Mall. Among those hired by Ratkowski was Wisconsin’s first female police officer assigned to regular patrol duty. Ratkowski also started Wisconsin’s first successful police social worker program. Ratkowski grew up in West Allis during the Depression and Prohibition. He wrote in a self-published memoir how he found an unusual way to help supplement the family’s income. He delivered bottles of moonshine, made by his parents, to homes in his West Allis neighborhood.”He was pretty strict, but he also had a soft heart. He was very compassionate. He understood how other people felt. He put himself in their shoes.”– His son, Thomas RatkowskiMary B. Riedl, 99, pioneer in law and among first WAVES in World War IIOne of two women to graduate from the Marquette University Law School’s class of 1936, Riedl was honored in 1998 by the State Bar of Wisconsin as one of the first 150 female pioneers in law.During World War II when her future husband, Charles, was drafted, she tried to enlist in the U.S. Army but wasn’t accepted. So she joined the Navy. She was in the first class of WAVES that went through training at Smith College. In 1946 she and Charles, a lawyer, were married and she stayed home to care for their eight children. When she returned to work in 1963 she was employed by NASA and the Air Force as a contract administrator for the Department of Defense at AC Delco Electronics in Oak Creek. Later she was transferred to the Veterans Administration office, where she became an adjudicator of benefits.”She had quite a life, and she packed it full.”– Her daughter, Mary WoznyJessie M. Chaney, 91, wife of the late Milwaukee NAACP leader Felmers O. Chaney and longtime member of the group’s executive committeeShe met Felmers Chaney through friends and they married in 1942, beginning a life of civil rights and community work. He was head of the NAACP for 12 years beginning in 1987. Jessie was a quiet force but no less committed to the cause. She served for more than a decade on the executive board. She worked on the annual Freedom Fund dinner and youth scholarships. She was chair of the membership committee.”She was the solemn voice behind the success of Mr. Chaney. She believed in what he believed in. She believed in right and wrong and justice for all. That was his motto — ‘justice for all.’ And she stood with that.”– Friend Bettye Loving, who served alongside Jessie Chaney on the NAACP executive committee and later became caregiver to both ChaneysWinston Van Horne, 69, guiding force in creation of department of Africology at UWMVan Horne liked to say that Africology was both the newest idea and the oldest. It was as old as Africa itself, but the notion of having a department of Africology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee took some time. Van Horne came to America from Jamaica in the late 1960s to study political science. He taught at Ohio State University and Ohio University before coming to UWM in 1978 as chairman of what was then the Afro-American studies program. Van Horne served as chairman from 1978-’87 and 1995-’98, guiding it from a program into a department of Afro-American studies and finally the department of Africology.”He birthed a discipline, at once father and mother.”– UWM Provost Johannes Britz, quoting one of his colleagues, in announcing the death of Van HorneJUNERobert Gilka, 96, photo editor at the Milwaukee Journal and National Geographic magazineA native of Milwaukee and a Marquette University journalism graduate, Gilka made the picture desk at the old Milwaukee Journal a national force in the 1950s, and then led National Geographic as director of photography. He was measured in praise and direct in criticism, colleagues recalled.”I hired the best I could, and then got out of their way.”– Gilka, on how he built the Journal picture desk into national prominence, as recalled by former Journal photographer John AhlhauserAustin Goodrich, 87, CIA agentYou never know who might be a CIA agent. That was the case with Austin Goodrich. While he was overseas during the Cold War under cover as a CBS News freelance reporter and writer, almost everyone was in the dark about what he really was doing there — working for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency and recruiting disenchanted communists to help the other side. Goodrich was drawn to the CIA after serving in the U.S. Army’s “Blackhawks” 86th Infantry Division in World War II and seeing close-up “what happens in a world without democracy,” his death notice said. His CIA career took him to Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, Germany and Thailand. He retired and moved to Port Washington in 1990, where he returned to writing. He produced a series of books: “Recollection of a Gravel-Clutcher” and “Chicken Soup for the Christian Soul” in 1997; “Born to Spy, Recollections of a CIA Case Officer” in 2004; and “Hot War, Cold War & Beyond, Tales from the Trenches of the 20th Century” in 2011.”What I remember him saying is that it was a great cover because it allowed you into places that normally you might not be able to get into.”– Wife Mona Goodrich, on her husband’s undercover work as a journalistAl Culbreath, 90, one of the first black models in MilwaukeeThe son of sharecroppers, Culbreath came to Milwaukee from Tennessee in the 1950s. For decades he was a fixture downtown — working at Johnnie Walker’s, the men’s clothing shop, on Wisconsin Ave. After work, he managed the Cafe Melange at the Hotel Wisconsin around the corner. As a model, he appeared in ads for Miller, Schlitz, Pabst, the Boston Store, Macy’s, Gimbels and Nunn Bush. He also ran his own downtown business, Al Culbreath’s Modeling and Charm School.”He had so much energy. And he was charming, charismatic and knew so many people. He always made people feel welcome.”– Friend Larry KruegerJack Weissgerber, 75, longtime restaurateurBorn in Yugoslavia, Weissgerber came to the U.S. at age 17, graduated from UW-Madison and worked as an engineer and manager at Allis-Chalmers International before joining the family restaurant business in 1978. He owned and operated Seven Seas in Hartland and Weissgerber’s Gasthaus and Beer Garden in Waukesha, part of the Weissgerber family’s brand, which includes the Golden Mast Inn in Okauchee. The Weissgerbers also owned Third Street Pier Restaurants and the Edelweiss cruise boats in downtown Milwaukee. Jack Weissgerber also started Seabird Restaurant at the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan. His civic work included services on more than a dozen boards, committees and commissions. And he had a passion for the accordion, which he would play at Rotary meetings and at his restaurants.”Jack was always such a gentleman and would always go above and beyond. (A club member) had a flat tire in the middle of winter, and there he was with his business suit, on the ground trying to fix it for her.”– Cathy Waller, president of the Waukesha Noon Rotary ClubJoe Aaron, 93, Milwaukee musicianOn his 87th birthday, Aaron was asked what songs he heard when he thought of himself playing. Old standards, he said. “Body and Soul.” “Stardust.” Gershwin tunes. They were fitting selections for Aaron, who was himself an old standard on the Milwaukee music scene — a saxophone and clarinet player whose eight decades in music ranged from jazz and Dixieland to big band and classical.”In music and in life, he taught me how to sing. He taught me how to make a particular row of notes sing. And his life was an amazing song.”– Son Rick Aaron, a flutistJULYMartine Meyer, 84, French professor at UW-Milwaukee for nearly 40 yearsMeyer was born in Casablanca and came to America for college, right after World War II. Her grandparents had been deported to a concentration camp, and her grandfather died on the train. Her grandmother died in Auschwitz — a tale Mey存倉r did not tell until her granddaughter read about civil rights figure Rosa Parks, leading to a discussion of the Nazis.”We were once in Paris at a restaurant and she was telling a story and the people next to her said, ‘Lower your voice madam!’ She was a great storyteller because she really did have an interesting life.”– Daughter Stephanie MeyerJackie Loohauis-Bennett, 62, longtime Journal Sentinel feature writerLoohauis-Bennett was a skilled and playful writer with an encyclopedic knowledge of local lore. She took on everything from pirates to the Great Circus Parade, the Titanic to animals of all kinds. She worked at the old Milwaukee Journal as both reporter and editor before joining the entertainment staff at the Journal Sentinel in 1995. Her Journal assignments included a stint working at a local Hardee’s restaurant (“Buns, buns, buns,” the story began. “You dream of them at night, they say, once you’ve been here for a while … “) and an essay about her father’s sailor tattoo (“I had been suspicious of that damn tattoo from the get-go,” she wrote. “It was on my father’s right forearm, a perky portrait of a ‘sailor girl'”).”She was a wonderful writer, and she loved Wisconsin. “– Jill Williams, deputy managing editor for features, entertainment and new productsDiane Pawlak, 81, and Jerome Pawlak, 86They were inseparable in life and, when death came to Jerome, it came to Diane, too. He was suffering from leukemia. She held his hand and told him, “Goodbye Jerry. You can go.” A moment later, she slumped in her chair and died of an apparent heart attack.”We think that she wanted to go with him. They were truly inseparable. And I think neither one wanted to start the next chapter without each other.”– Their son, Jerry PawlakKatie Morrison, 71, first woman elected to Wisconsin LegislatureMorrison was viewed as a trailblazer when she was elected to the Wisconsin Senate back in 1974, but she didn’t see it that way. “It really wasn’t important to me until I got elected. Then, everyone made such a fuss about it,” Morrison said later in one example of that fuss — a long newspaper feature headlined “‘Katie’ Morrison reviews her first weeks in the senate.” A Democrat, Morrison lost her bid for re-election but helped pass pass landmark legislation: limits on medical malpractice, the Farmland Preservation Act, and reducing inheritance taxes, especially important for widows and farm wives. She also worked on no-fault divorce.”There couldn’t have been a better first woman state senator than Katie. She was so likable yet so serious on the issues. And she was serious about getting things done.”– State Sen. Tim Cullen (D-Janesville), who was elected the same year as MorrisonAUGUSTPaul Poberezny, 91, founder of the Experimental Aircraft AssociationWithout Poberezny’s vision, it’s likely far fewer people would fly, own and build planes. Poberezny, a pilot in World War II and Korea, built a plane in his Hales Corners garage because he couldn’t afford to buy one. He formed a club of home-built airplane enthusiasts in 1953 and called it the Experimental Aircraft Association. It’s now one of the largest aviation conventions in the world, drawing thousands of spectators and more than 10,000 planes.”He really sparked a passion that caused people to say ‘Hey, I can do that, too,’ … “– EAA Vice President Sean ElliottTerre Borkovec, 56, obstetricianBorkovec was known for her direct manner and distinctive style. She never cut her hair, wearing it in a long braid down her back, and she always wore black. She liked wearing open-toed shoes — even in the winter. Borkovec delivered thousands of babies in the Milwaukee area over her 30-year career. Patients kept in touch, and when they moved, they often traveled many miles to see her.”She would crash into patients’ rooms and BOOM! she was there. When I would refer patients to her, I’d say, ‘At first she might frighten you, but once you get used to her you’ll love her.'”– Longtime friend and colleague, reproductive gynecologist Grace JanikJohnny Logan, 86, Milwaukee Braves player and baseball Hall of FamerLogan was on first base on Sept. 23, 1957, when Hank Aaron socked an 11th-inning home run off St. Louis’ Billy Muffett to clinch the NL pennant. The Braves went on to upset the favored New York Yankees in seven games in the World Series, bringing Milwaukee its only championship. Logan played for the Braves from 1953 to June 15, 1961, when he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates.”Of all the great hitters on those Braves teams — Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Red Schoendienst, Joe Adcock — Johnny was one of the best clutch hitters they had. He was a critical part of those teams.”– Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig, who grew up watching the Braves at the old County StadiumJames G. White, 51, executive director of the Harambee Ombudsman Project and former Milwaukee County supervisorWhite’s community work was varied and passionate. He served on the County Board from 1996 to 2008. He served as chairman of the board’s transportation committee and was first vice chairman of the board. He survived a recall election in 2003 that was launched in the aftermath of the county pension scandal. But he lost his 2008 County Board re-election bid after failing to file a ballot petition with enough signatures. He then ran as a write-in candidate. Later in 2008, White began a stint in Washington, D.C., as associate director of an addiction research program at George Washington University. White then returned to Milwaukee, where he helped revive and headed the Harambee organization.White also ran unsuccessfully in a three-way Democratic primary for the state Senate in 2004 that was won by Sen. Lena Taylor. In the 1990s, he was a hip-hop recording artist, whose stage name was the Ghetto Priest. He continued to perform, including a rap delivered at a recent Juneteenth celebration.”He was a quiet giant. He has done some extraordinary things with community-based organizations with little fanfare for himself.”– Milwaukee Ald. Milele CoggsSusan Scherr, 57, co-creator of the “Pump-a-Present” device that became a hit on the home shopping television showsSusan Scherr was just 18 years old and a new mother when she got the news: She had a rare form of blood cancer. Few people survived. If she did, she could rule out having more children. Scherr beat the cancer and the odds of having much of a life. She had nine more children, and with her husband became a “kitchen table” entrepreneur, hitting on a winning product called the Pump-A-Present — a device that enclosed a gift inside an inflated balloon. The fast-talking Scherr made it a hit on QVC — the product sold out in minutes and earned her a nickname: The Balloon Lady.”I couldn’t believe a person could talk that fast. She brought me out of my shell. She taught me that. Without her, I would not be the same person I am.”– Husband and business partner Mark ScherrSEPTEMBERLouis Romano, 92, educator, co-author of “Gertie the Duck” book and other children’s worksMost people probably knew Romano as a co-author of “Gertie the Duck,” the story of a mother mallard and her six ducklings that brightened the lives of millions in the gloomy, waning days of World War II. Others knew the author of more than 100 children’s books and magazine articles as a teacher, administrator, professor or the founder of the National Association of Middle School Educators. A product of Milwaukee’s old Third Ward, Romano and a Milwaukee pal, Nicholas Georgiady, heard about Gertie and her brood while they served in England during World War II. The 37-day saga of Gertie, the mallard hen that incubated her eggs and hatched her brood on a rotting piling under the Wisconsin Ave. bridge next to Gimbels Department Store, captivated Milwaukeeans and drew national attention. In 1959, Romano and Georgiady, who had also become an educator, began searching for a children’s book idea.”I don’t know why the book became so successful. People just bought it. Princess Diana gave one to Prince William.”– Louis RomanoAl Schrager, 95, owner of Schrager Auction GalleriesThe shroud has no pockets — that’s what Al Schrager liked to say. Eventually, beloved possessions need to move on. Schrager considered it a privilege to find new homes for those items, and for more than 60 years he did just that, presiding over Schrager Auction Galleries, a premier auction house specializing in estate work.”Children hate the things their parents had, tolerate what their grandparents had and take to their bosom what their great-grandparents had.”– Al Schrager, on the value objects take onSister Mary Jean Raymond McBride, 92, longtime educator of elementary school teachers at Mount MaryMcBride probably taught thousands of children in 68 years as an educator. Her specialty was teaching reading to first-graders throughout the Midwest, and later she would teach generations of teachers at Mount Mary College. There she served as an assistant professor and director of elementary teacher education and later, chair of the education department and director of teacher placement.”Children just gravitated to her. It was like she just knew how to reach them. Her legacy was that she taught them (her students) to equally love children, as she had.”– Sister Ellen Lorenz, a friend and colleague of 40 yearsDonald Steinmetz, 88, former Wisconsin Supreme Court justiceSteinmetz considered his opinion in the landmark 1998 case involving Milwaukee’s school choice program the high point of his 19 years on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The case, Jackson vs. Benson, upheld the Milwaukee program and was later cited by the U.S. Supreme Court when it also affirmed the legality of school choice.”He influenced my decision to go to law school and was a mentor throughout my career.”– Son-in-law Ralf Boer, a former CEO at Foley & LardnerFather John E. Naus, 89, Marquette University priest known for sending Christmas cards in July and appearing as Tumbleweed the clownIn nearly half a century at Marquette, Naus held a variety of roles — starting as dean of students in 1963, then director of spiritual welfare, assistant to the president and associate professor of philosophy. He taught theory of ethics, Eastern philosophy and philosophy of humor, and was resident chaplain in Schroeder Hall for 28 years.”The priest clown is not an incongruity. What is my job as priest? To make people happy, because we’re the resurrection people.”– Father John E. NausJoan “Joanne” Malloy, 75, longtime “lunch lady” at Mother of Good Counsel elementary schoolMalloy dished up mock chicken legs and Salisbury steak, and a casserole called Russian Fluff. She was the lunch lady and happy about it, and while Malloy turned out all that food, she got to know all the children who passed through the lunch line at Mother of Good Counsel School in her 25 years there. The ones she was especially fond of — she’d slip ’em an extra cookie.”…there are thousands of kids that went through that line, and she made an impression on them.”– Son Kevin MalloyElla Washington, 74, founder of the Heritage ChoraleA choral music supervisor in the Milwaukee Public Schools, Washington frequently got calls for a chorus — a black chorus. So she would gather together singers. “After each program, we’d break up,” she once said. But after a concert for a teachers’ workshop in 1983, some of those singers approached her with a message: Let’s stay together. That was the beginning of the Heritage Chorale, which went on to perform at Carnegie Hall, the Florentine Opera Company, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra and on tour in Europe.”She was always about exposing people to a higher level of art.”– Daughter Shari RhoneOCTOBERRonnie G. Sherrill Sr., 60, owner of the Satin Wave barbershopFor decades, the Satin Wave barbershop has been the buzzing place to be — to pick over events of the day, swap some advice — and yes, get a haircut, too. Preachers and teachers, lawyers and laborers — they all came to the shop for haircuts. For years, Sherrill gave free back-to-school haircuts to children.”A haircut makes kids feel better about themselves. They also get to start school fresh. Who knows, this kid might be a doctor one day, and then he’ll be serving me.”– Ronnie G. Sherrill Sr.Joseph Glorioso, 91, one of three founding brothers of Glorioso’s Italian MarketJoe did the ordering, Eddie handled deliveries, and Teddy — he was just a kid then — he cleaned the wood floors and loaded the basement storeroom. That’s how Glorioso’s Italian Market began on Feb. 14, 1946, financed with a $1,000 loan that the three boys’ father, Felice, got from his boss. It was only supposed to last a few years for young Joe, who was just back from the service in World War II. He was going to be a doctor, said his son, Felice Glorioso. But the little shop on Brady St. changed that. “He just fell in love with it,” his son said.”‘You run and run, and everybody’s waiting for you right here.’ Meaning: You can run yourself ragged in circles trying to do so much, and you kind of end up in the same spot. You miss too much when you’re running.”– Son Felice Glorioso, recalling an old Sicilian saying his father passed on to him.Tommy Gumina, 82, jazz accordionist whose prowess earned him the nicknames “the incredible Mr. Fingers” and “Milwaukee’s accordion wizard”Born and raised on Milwaukee’s south side, Gumina knew when he was 10 that he wanted to play the accordion. He was discovered at a Milwaukee club by Harry James, and Gumina recorded scores of albums and toured with James when he was barely 20. Gumina very nearly had a big screen career, too. He was cast to play the role of Angelo Maggio in “From Here to Eternity,” but before it went into production, Frank Sinatra went to the studio and said he wanted the role, the Milwaukee Journal reported at the time. Gumina had “the kind of handsome but wistful look that the character called for,” the paper noted.Gumina said he was disappointed but thought Sinatra was “wonderful in the role — probably better than I could have been, but it was a role that I wanted and think I could have done very well.”Throughout the 1950s and ’60s, Gumina recorded and performed with James, Buddy De Franco (forming the De Franco-Gumina Quartet), Tommy Dorsey, Charlie Barnet, Gene Krupa, Joe Pass, Art Pepper and others. It was alto saxophonist Pepper who described him as “the incredible Mr. Fingers.”Gumina was featured on the variety shows of the era, too — Ed Sullivan, Jackie Gleason, Perry Como, and another Milwaukee son, Liberace. By the time he was 20, Gumina had moved to the Los Angeles area, where he worked with Nelson Riddle and Billy May, making background music for the TV series “Route 66” and “Naked City,” and was on the musical staff of ABC Television. He performed in Las Vegas and at many of the big night clubs in L.A. — the Cocoanut Grove, the Mocombo.He also was an innovator when it came to amplification and equipment, and in 1968, Gumina founded the Polytone Amplifier Co., with customers including such stars at guitarist George Benson.”I told my dad how I wanted an accordion and he said, ‘Son, I’ll rent one for you. I can’t buy one. I haven’t any money.’ Just renting seemed wonderful to me, but my dad, still too weak to go to work, went to a place to get an accordion — and he didn’t rent it. He bought it — on time. Gosh. That’s being fine to a kid.”– Tommy Gumina, recalling how his father, who worked at International Harvester and was recovering from pneumonia, got him his first accordionHarold Vogt, 84, creator of the Original Flyrite Tangle Free Flag Holder SystemVogt worked for 48 years at Allis-Chalmers, first as a machinist apprentice, then as a supervisor. But it was a flag that his son and daughter-in-law gave him in the late 1980s, as he had an eye on retirement, that bugged him. The darn thing just wouldn’t fly right. It kept getting tangled. This bothered him. His son Jerry, who had given him the flag for Father’s Day, told him, “You’re a machinist all your life. Do something about it.” And he did. The result was the one and only Original Flyrite Tangle Free Flag Holder System, and a family business was born: Flyrite Corp., based in Germantown.”We never really did push a lot to grow a lot bigger than what we are. We were all making a decent wage. We were content with what we had. Very much so.”– Son Jerry Vogt, on the family businessPhilip Sgarlata, 91, and wife Therese Sgarlata, 88Moments after his death, Philip Sgarlata’s daughter sat with him and said her goodbyes. She had a request of him, too: “I said, ‘Daddy, you’re going to have to call Mom to come with you, and you’re going to have to show her the way. You need to show her the way. You need to tell her to come with you.'”Then Terri Sgarlata-Lutz followed her father’s body down the hallway of AngelsGrace Hospice in Oconomowoc, his body covered by a handmade quilt reserved just for this purpose. As is tradition during this escort ritual, a candle was lighted near the entryway, signaling that a death had occurred, and a bell was rung as his body headed toward the front door. Staff came to the hallway and observed in silence.Before her father’s body had made it to the waiting hearse, the word came. Her mother had died, too — in the hospice where the couple had shared a room for one day.”They just were so — how do I say this? — they were just a team. They would argue like everybody else does, but in the end they were a team, and they accomplished so much in life. Such an example of what a marriage can be.”– Daughter Terri Sgarlata-LutzNOVEMBERLeonard Pawlak, 90, blinded by landmine explosion in aftermath of Normandy invasion; worked for 30 years as medical transcriber at Zablocki Veterans Affairs Medical CenterIt was nearly a month after the D-Day Invasion of Normandy, the Fourth of July 1944. Leonard Pawlak was in France, bringing up shells for the mortar squad of the U.S. Army’s 69th Infantry Division. He was on the edge of a road when a German landmine exploded 10 feet away. Pawlak would later say he didn’t remember much of the blast that caught him full force in the face. He laid there badly injured for nearly a week. He lost one eye to the blast, the other to gangrene.”He said, ‘The Lord left me on this Earth for some reason. I’m alive and I’m happy. I’m lucky to be alive.'”– His sister, Evelyn GoossensPastor Joe Allen Games Sr., 73, founder of Providence Baptist Church and an organizer of MICAH, a coalition of central city churchesGames came to Milwaukee from Arkansas in 1959 looking for work, and he found it at a foundry. But there was a call to a bigger job that he finally could not ignore. Beginning in 1963, he was an assistant pastor at St. Mary’s Baptist Church, 2710 N. 4th St. He’d worked in a foundry for 17 years when he quit to began organizing Providence Baptist Church. In 1969, the doors opened to its first home, a storefront at 3267 N. Green Bay Ave.In 2005, the church moved to 3865 N. 82nd St. Today it has 35 ministries, his wife said, including four choirs and ministries for senior citizens and for women, and a college scholarship program.”He felt led to do it, and he obeyed the spirit of God.”– His wife, Gloria GamesNoel Cutright, 69, birder extraordinaireCutright was known for an uncanny ability to not only pick out what types of birds he heard, but how many. Any birding field trip, he was the ears of the trip, his wife, Kate Redmond, said.Cutright worked for 29 years as senior terrestrial ecologist for Wisconsin Electric Power Co. — now We Energies — where he pioneered a method to deal with birds of prey that would try to nest in transmission lines.”He was listening all the time. He was tuned in to birds all the time.”– Colleague Karen Etter Hale of the Madison Audubon SocietyConnie Squier, 88, animal advocate and environmentalist; descendant of the Chester family, founders of the old T.A. Chapman department storeSquier could hunt and ride, and once kept a rooster and a couple of lambs in her house. She loved literature and outdoor adventure and all kinds of creatures, which led her to rescue animals, build a cabin on Chambers Island in Door County, and serve as president of the board of the Wisconsin Humane Society. For the past 27 years, she ran the Stone House bed and breakfast in West Bend, populated with a variety of beasts — goats, chickens, geese, donkeys and more.”She taught me how to burn a prairie. She taught me the proper way to poach an egg. I learned how to handle chickens and other animals. I learned different prairie grasses. And not to be afraid to love. I just had a really, really good time.”– Longtime partner Bob Fuller, who ran the bed and breakfast with herMitchell Fromstein, 85, leader of ManpowerFromstein led a multi-faceted life — he wrote speeches for the hallowed Vince Lombardi, served as an informal adviser to Gov. Patrick Lucey, and was an early investor in and executive with the Milwaukee Bucks. At the heart of Fromstein’s rich and varied life was Manpower, which he helped take from a small, temporary-help firm to a multibillion-dollar enterprise. In the middle of the takeover-crazed 1980s, Fromstein succeeded in regaining control of Manpower from British raiders who had captured the firm in a hostile takeover.”He’s a Milwaukee hero.”– Manpower CEO Jeff JoerresAdolph “Pappy” Arms, 65, civil rights activistIn the civil rights movement of the 1960s, when Milwaukee stood out as one of the most turbulent hotbeds of protest, Arms was on the front lines. Milwaukee’s marches, mainly meant to press for fair housing, often attracted counter demonstrators by the hundreds hurling bricks, bottles and spit. Arms was one of the designated marshals whose job was to shield marchers. Arms was descended from one of Wisconsin’s oldest African-American families, with roots in the state dating back to the 1850s.”My mom used to get so mad when we’d come home and our clothes smelled of tear gas.”– His wife, MaryDorothy K. “Dory” Vallier, 103, nature lover; Uihlein descendant who pushed the family brewing company to donate land for Schlitz Audubon Nature CenterVallier channeled a childhood love of the great outdoors and her family’s considerable means into helping preserve Wisconsin’s woodlands, bogs and wild areas. The granddaughter of Henry Uihlein, Vallier spent almost 10 years quietly persuading the company’s board of directors to give the land for the Schlitz Audubon Nature Center in Bayside. Some of the brewery fathers had wanted to develop the land into condominiums. But Vallier, blessed with a quiet, regal grace, felt a responsibility to the 185 acres that had once been the Uihlein family’s Nine Mile Farm. In 1971, the Schlitz Foundation directors gave their unanimous support to the nature center. The land now includes the Dorothy K. Vallier Environmental Learning Center. The center serves about 145,000 visitors each year.”As prominent as she was and coming from the family she came from, she was down to earth. But Mrs. Vallier could put on a business suit and pearls and run a board meeting like nobody’s business.”– Muriel Poindexter, her personal business manager and health care advocate for the last 13 yearsDECEMBERJane Sijan, 92, mother of Medal of Honor winner Capt. Lance Sijan and MIA/POW advocateA quiet beauty who was named Milwaukee’s “Clean City Queen” in 1949, Jane Sijan helped run Mary’s Log Cabin, a tavern and eatery across from the old Allen-Bradley building where workers could get a check cashed and, sometimes, a loan if they needed it. But it was as the mother of Air Force Capt. Lance P. Sijan, who received the Medal of Honor after he was shot down during the Vietnam War and died at the “Hanoi Hilton,” that Jane Sijan quietly shined.”My mother was the strength that held us all together. … she became a warrior with a graceful, beautiful stride.”– Daughter Janine Sijan-RozinaBetty Quadracci, 75, co-founder of Quad/Graphics, president of Milwaukee magazine and longtime arts supporterMost people knew Betty Quadracci as the “Queen Mother” of Milwaukee’s magazine industry or for her philanthropy that breathed new life into the Milwaukee Art Museum. Others recognized her for her work as an early childhood educator and mentor to women trying to break into business. Yet her greatest accomplishment may have occurred outside the public eye in the battle she fought — and won — over the polio that struck her as a little girl.”She was a fighter. She had to learn to walk all over again. She always tried harder than everybody else — just to make up.”– Her sister, Sue EwensFather Joze “Joseph” Gole, 97When he was a boy growing up in the tiny village of Zagorica near Dobrnic in Slovenia, it was clear that Gole was gifted at his studies. The parish priest saw this and sent young Gole off to continue his studies.Gole would become fluent in nine languages and study at the Sorbonne in Paris, where the Nazi occupation forced him to leave and continue his studies in Yugoslavia. His journey to priesthood would take yet another turn, when he fled from Yugoslavia because of rising Communism. He went to Austria, where he was detained by Nazi troops and sent to a concentration camp. Gole received his doctorate in theology and eventually an invitation to teach at Marquette University, where he taught international law. He taught philosophy, scripture and other courses at Sacred Heart School of Theology in Franklin for more than a half-century. The war years, though, would remain with him.”He would start talking about it and his eyes would just well up and his hands would even start to shake. He saw a lot of atrocities. He would break down real easy, and he would have nightmares after that.”– Helen Frohna, longtime friend who knew him through St. John the Evangelist Church in Greenfield, where Gole said Mass in Slovenian on weekends.Stephen Edward Marshall, 48, FBI agent; winner of agency’s Medal of ValorMarshall was a career FBI agent who was awarded one of the agency’s highest honors, the Medal of Valor, for an “exceptional act of heroism” while serving in Afghanistan in 2009. He headed into gunfire to get to an injured soldier. Marshall was with a military detachment that was ambushed. “He went back to help this soldier and get him to safety,” said Marshall’s wife, Lisa, shortly after Marshall died of natural causes at their Verona home. “I was proud, but not the least bit surprised that he had done that. He had a very ‘no man left behind’ mentality.” It was Marshall’s second tour of duty in Afghanistan.”He believed you didn’t know when your time was up and you needed to live each day the best you could. I know that sounds very cliche, but that’s very much what he believed.”– His wife, Lisa MarshallMike Hegan, 71, original member of the Milwaukee Brewers; later a broadcaster for the teamHegan was playing for the Seattle Pilots when they were bought out of bankruptcy in 1970 by Bud Selig and his ownership group and moved to Milwaukee. During the Brewers’ inaugural season, Hegan batted .244 with 11 home runs and 52 RBI in 148 games. The left-handed-hitting first baseman/outfielder was sold to the Oakland Athletics in 1971, and in 1973 was dealt to the New York Yankees, for whom he had begun his big-league career in 1964. He returned to the Brewers in 1974 and played with them until retiring after the ’77 season.He spent 12 years as an analyst for Milwaukee before being hired by Cleveland in 1989 to broadcast Indians games.”Mike was not only a dedicated player and broadcaster for the organization; he was a great friend to many and much-loved in the community.”– Brewers Chief Operating Officer Rick SchlesingerGordon Hinkley, 88, whose half-century in radio featured the “Ask Your Neighbor” showOnce called the “Granddaddy of Milwaukee radio,” Hinkley’s “Ask Your Neighbor” call-in show ran on WTMJ-AM (620) for more than 30 years, covering questions on everything from how to best use leftover mashed potatoes to removing chewing gum from corduroy.”People just believed in him.”– Steve Smith, former general manager of WTMJ, now chairman and chief executive officer of Journal Communications, publisher of the Milwaukee Journal SentinelCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Visit the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at .jsonline.com Distributed by MCT Information Services儲存

香港文匯報訊（記者　郭兆東）今年除夕夜是寓意一生一世的「13/14」，文件倉預料將有大批市民外出倒數慶祝，與親朋好友共度2013年至2014年的珍貴一刻。為配合節日氣氛，本港餐飲及零售業已摩拳擦掌準備以奇招吸客，除了有商場以熱門手電遊戲為賣點作招徠外，亦有多間酒吧及食肆推出除夕消費優惠，料除夕夜營業額情況相當樂觀，有望按年增長逾10%。同時，倒數少不了煙花點綴，今年維港將上演歷來最大規模的8分鐘海陸空煙火匯演，預料可吸引近50萬市民在維港兩岸觀賞。(見另稿)聖誕過後除夕緊接而來，今年除夕夜將橫跨2013年及2014年，不少人將之視為寓意一生一世的「13/14」，而且每100年才會出現一次，預料會吸引不少市民與親朋愛人共同度過這特別的一刻。入境處預料，今年聖誕節及元旦假期期間，將有逾千萬旅客人次經各口岸進出香港，按年大增約7.6%，當中約74%旅客，即逾825萬人次，預計會經各陸路邊境管制站進出香港。有見及此，多個大型商場及旅遊熱點將會進行連串倒數活動，港府亦安排大型煙花匯演錦上添花，同時本港餐飲業為接待龐大人流，亦早已蓄勢待發準備以奇招搶客。酒吧換新裝預慶2014其中蘭桂坊早已為除夕裝飾換上新裝，除懸掛大型「2014」標誌外，不少酒吧已在店內貼上慶祝字句。向來以提供直播足球賽事為招徠的酒吧王經理表示，雖存倉今晚沒有大型足球賽事播放，但本港各處均有大型倒數活動，其中尤以尖東海旁及時代廣場的活動較為矚目，故直言蘭桂坊貴為「全港最出名的酒吧集中地」，當然要緊貼潮流，今晚會在店內電視直播各倒數活動的同時，亦會與客人進行抽獎送大禮活動，務求「人人共享開心時刻」。加價料無損消費意慾另外，為方便市民在倒數時能盡情暢飲，店舖特意將不同飲品價值清楚列於店外當眼處。王經理指，已同時調低當中部分飲品的單價，希望藉此吸引更多市民外出消費，坦言不怕做蝕本生意，因度過「13/14」是普天同慶的日子，「更多人出街慶祝先夠開心」。對於除夕夜的餐飲消費預測，香港餐服管理協會主席楊位醒表示，由於今年餐飲業整體表現不錯，不論訂位、客次及生意額均錄得增長，故相信在本港市民消費力回升，及大量個人遊旅客來港過節的催谷下，料今日本港餐飲業營業額的增長，將可錄得按年10%至11%的升幅，形容情況相當樂觀。楊位醒又稱，加上港人追求不時不食，同時本港又聚集多國菜於一身，故除一般酒吧及西餐的生意會大為暢旺外，有提供火�的曙U生意將會有明顯升幅，「冷天吃熱食，為時令進補，熱辣辣的肉食一定最受歡迎，特別是港人最愛之一的羊腩煲會大受歡迎」。他續稱，雖然餐飲業要面對通脹帶來的營運壓力，同時行內人手仍然短缺，但相信食肆為彌補成本而加價的幅度，將不會影響港人消費意慾。儲存

江門版

2013年于江門而言是不平凡的一年，迷你倉旺角鶴山擬建核燃料加工廠的消息讓民�“談核色變”，台山漁船西沙遇險牽動了每個江門人的心……南都作為事件的記錄者，見證了江門在政治、經濟、民生多方面的發展與蛻變，而這些新聞事件也將成為江門歷史上的一筆，供人思考與回憶。年度事件江門拒絕核燃料項目7月4日，鶴山核燃料項目進行社會穩定風險評估公示；7月13日，鶴山市市長伍宇雄宣佈核燃料項目不予申請立項。短短10天時間，一個投資370億元的超級工程在洶湧的民意下迅速夭折。當中引發的輿論關注早已超越江門本地，在當下的中國也有著它的樣本意義。3月31日，鶴山市政府與中核集團簽署了《中核集團龍灣工業園項目投資框架協議書》和《中核集團龍灣工業園項目用地協議書》，中核集團核燃料項目選址鶴山市址山鎮大營工業區，項目總用地面積229.0665公頃(含配套設施用地4.9125公頃)，總建築規模約50萬㎡，總投資約370億元，由中國核工業集團公司與中國廣核集團共同投資建設。對於鶴山經濟來說，這是一個極具誘惑的項目。項目將為鶴山市帶來巨大經濟利益，官方稱在工業產值和稅收方面都將會“再造兩個鶴山”；如在稅收方面，該項目每年預計創稅30億元，而鶴山市2012年地方公共財政預算收入為15.95億元。然而，始料未及的是穩評公示後來自民間的強列反對意見。7月4日江門市發改局發佈“穩評”公示後，反對聲不僅僅是江門民�，更有來自于珠三角及港澳公�的聲音，網絡上更是一邊倒的罵聲，從公示時間短到核燃料項目安全的懷疑，民�的不信任來自于方方面面。官方的反應也可謂迅速，7月5日鶴山市發改局、中核集團向省內十多家媒體對項目情況進行了說明，稱核燃料廠絕對安全、無汙染，公�不應“談核色變”。7月9日，江門市及鶴山又通過微博解答公�疑問，江門市委當日同時邀請清華大學專家來到江門向全市幹部科普核能源與安全知識。官方的各部門的微博也紛紛開始發佈核電安全知識。然而官方的溝通與輿論並未奏效。7月12日，在東湖廣場、市政府等地方，部分市民聚集表達對中核集團龍灣工業園項目安全性的擔憂。當天，江門市政府、鶴山市政府宣佈“穩評”公示期延長10天。正當民間在進一步表達自己意見的時候，7月13日上午，在一個不能再簡短的新聞發佈會上，鶴山市市長伍宇雄宣佈為尊重民意，鶴山決定核燃料項目不予申請立項，發佈會隨即結束。官方的表態令市民始料不及，甚至懷疑其真實性，隨後江門市政府以正式文件確認取消項目。徵地拆遷在此項目中並未遇到太大阻礙，而因為民間對“核”的恐慌，在穩評的環節上最終導致項目下馬。時下國內多有涉及環境安全的重大項目因公�的激烈反對而取消，鶴山核燃料項目事件又是一例。10天時間，這個超級項目迅速夭折，對公�和政府來說結果都並非完滿。事件中，官方與民意的溝通有了可喜的進步，但顯然並未足夠。重大公共決策上，特別是涉及到當下最為關注的環境安全的問題上，公�如何能享有充分的知情權、充分的議事時間和空間，從而告別“天然反對”單一模式；官方又能否改變固有的“維穩”模式，打開與民溝通的平台，顯然值得思考。來也匆匆，去也匆匆，顯然並不利於民間形成專業、理性的聲音，告別官方也不願意看到的項目“一鬧即停”的局面。鶴山核燃料項目作為年度事件不僅在於媒體及公�關注度，同樣在於它提供的這一個思考樣本，在時下的中國不無借鑒意義。年度事件提名1 漁船遇險 軍民聯手大搜救事件回放：2013年9月29日晚，受強颱風“蝴蝶”影響，瓊、粵兩省漁民在西沙海域遇險或被困，涉及漁民171人，其中，來自台山的三艘漁船粵台漁62116號、62150號、62108號沉沒，88人落海。災難發生後，習近平、李克強、張高麗等中央領導同志分別作出重要批示。海南省及南海艦隊組織軍民聯手展開海上大搜救，最終88人中有40人成功獲救，其中26人生還，遇難14人，48人失蹤。2 被老師冤枉10歲女生跳樓事件回放：12月11日，因被老師懷疑偷了2000多元錢，年僅10歲的江門市江海區江南小學五年級女生小敏從教學樓五樓跳下，身受重傷並昏迷。事發後第六天，真相大白，江門市江海區警方公佈調查結果稱：該校音樂老師譚老師並未丟錢，而是記錯了放錢的地方，丟錢案是個“大烏龍”。小敏跳樓事件發生後，江海區教育局每天向媒體通報事件進展。12月13日，該局召開全區中小學安全教育會議，除了號召全區中小學生捐款獻愛心之外，還提出5點安全方面的要求。此外，江南小mini storage校長李榮宏主動提出引咎辭職，江海區教育局也�動行政問責處理程序，將對涉事老師進行處理。3 合署辦公 江海高新再攜手事件回放：6月19日，江門市委市政府發佈正式通告，宣佈江海、高新兩區合署辦公，高新區與江海區黨政領導班子有關成員實行交叉任職，江海區黨政工作機構與高新區相應內設機構實行合署辦公，高新區主任梁許贊兼任江海區委書記。江海區原有20個黨政機構，高新區為13個，兩區“合併”後，僅保留13個黨政機構，其中黨委部門6個，政府部門7個，這一機構調整是江門有史以來力度最大的一次大部制機構精簡。兩區“合併”，也讓懸置已久的高新區大部制改革方案逐步明朗化。4 聚首五邑800海外嘉賓參加嘉年華事件回放：10月26日至10月31日期間，江門舉行第五屆中國(江門)僑鄉華人嘉年華暨僑鄉旅遊節，活動以“華人盛會·百姓舞台”為主題，來自海外20多個國家與地區的800名華僑華裔聚首“中國第一僑鄉”，敘鄉情謀發展，其中不乏如美洲各地中華會館中華公所華僑總會聯誼會秘書長黃金泉、美中經濟文化發展促進會會長方偉俠等重量級的僑領。按照中央“八項規定”和提倡節約辦會的要求，今年嘉年華活動取消了龍船巡遊，而改為以文體活動周的形式開展，受到了�多市民認可。5 致敬30人“三十年三十人”評選 事件回放：1983年，經廣東省政府批准，江門實行市領導縣體制，管轄新會、台山、開平、恩平、鶴山五縣。今年正好是江門建成省轄地級市的三十周年。為此，南方都市報特主辦“三十年三十人”評選活動，盛邀了本地知名學者、專家和媒體人組成評審委員會，歷時三個多月，經過客觀公正的評審，從近百位優秀人物中遴選出三十位代表，向他們致敬。其中，江門建成省轄地級市後的首任市委書記黎子流獲得了“特別貢獻獎”。6 廣東製造 首列城際動車組江門下線事件回放：5月28日，首列廣東造CR H 6型城際動車組在江門的廣東軌道交通車輛修造基地正式下線，這標誌著廣東南車基地“形成了完全生產能力”，填補了廣東軌道交通裝備製造的空白。五邑大學教授劉志堅表示：“南車項目投產標誌著江門近幾年不遺餘力引進大項目開始步入收穫期。同時，CR H 6動車作為江門又一張城市名片，江門的知名度和影響力將隨著動車駛向全國、駛向世界。”7 大病保險 醫保報銷上限提高到60萬事件回放：12月4日召開的市政府十四屆四十次常務會議審議通過了《江門市城鄉居民大病保險實施方案(試行)》、《江門市職工基本醫療保險大病保險(補充醫療保險)實施方案(試行)》。根據方案，從2014年1月1日起，江門市醫保參保人的保障水平將大幅提高，城鄉居民醫保每年報銷封頂線從16萬元提高至30萬元；職工醫保每年報銷封頂線由30萬元提高至60萬元。大病保險方案是對江門市現行基本醫療保障制度的拓展和延伸，通過引入市場機制，向商業保險機構統一購買服務，提高參保人的大病保障水平。城鄉居民大病保險資金從城鄉居民醫保基金累計結餘和當年個人繳費中籌集；職工大病保險資金每月從補充醫療保險基金中籌集、劃入。參保人只要參加江門市的醫保即可享受大病保險制度的相關待遇，無需為大病保險另外繳費。8 無恥之徒 江門市人大代表帶幼女開房事件回放：以金錢誘惑等方式，今年50歲的江門市人大代表黃寶林竟四次帶著兩名幼女到酒店開房，強迫兩女孩為其“打飛機”，還試圖強姦這兩名女孩，幸得兩人極力反抗方未得逞。7月18日，這名村幹部出身的市人大代表正式被公安機關刑事拘留。警方表示，黃本人對涉嫌猥褻兒童罪供認不諱。事件發生後，黃寶林被撤銷了江門市以及崖門鎮人大代表資格。崖門鎮召開了警示教育會，要求全鎮幹部要引以為戒，千萬不要違反原則，更不能觸犯法律。9 治汙升級 潭江汙染再治理事件回放：23年前，江門�動潭江治理工程，造就“潭江模式”赫赫威名。23年後，日趨嚴重的水質汙染又讓“潭江模式”遭遇質疑，面臨愈治理愈汙染的尷尬。23年投入大量治理資金，未能保住這條母親河，江門今年再推潭江汙染治理新方案，提出要在2020年前恢複潭江水質。根據江門市政府批准實施的新一輪潭江治理3項方案，分別由環保局(工業汙染)、農業局(農業汙染)、城管局(生活汙染)牽頭實施，對潭江流域治理提出了時間表，並要求流域內各區市主要領導人擔任“河長”，治汙將納入政績考核，成為“潭江模式”的升級版。特刊統籌：南都記者 楊秀偉14-15版 採寫：南都記者 張奇鋒 謝婷 攝影：南都記者 孫振飛 實習生 張家樂迷你倉

惠州版

南都訊 記者萬明 以橫瀝湯粉聞名的橫瀝鎮有可能再增加一張地方名片，儲存這張名片就是集垃圾焚燒廠和填埋場于一身的“垃圾綜合處理基地”所在地。日前，市住建局公開的《惠州市惠城區橫瀝鎮總體規劃(2011-2025年)(草案)》(下稱“規劃草案”)顯示，橫瀝鎮內要“規劃垃圾綜合處理基地1座”。不過，綜合市住建局、市環衛局的回應，橫瀝還不是板上釘釘的垃圾處理基地選址。綜合基地規劃描述僅12個字在規劃草案中，關於環衛設施的規劃位於最後一條，而描述垃圾處理基地的只有“規劃垃圾綜合處理基地1座”短短12個字，再無詳情。與此相關的環衛設施則包括標準壓縮式垃圾中轉站3處，環保型垃圾轉運站14處和環衛管理站1處。事實上，在橫瀝鎮規劃垃圾綜合處理基地已不是首次。早在2008年的《惠州市城市環境衛生專項規劃(2008-2020)》里就預測惠州的東北部將發展東江科技城，人口規模可達70萬，故提出在橫瀝東南部山地規劃新建一座生活垃圾綜合處理基地的遠期規劃。規劃的基地以垃圾焚燒為主，規劃日處理量為800噸/天。據悉，根據專項規劃的定義，所謂垃圾綜合處理基地，是將生活垃圾分選回收、焚燒發電、高溫堆肥、衛生填埋等垃圾處理工藝集于一身的環衛綜合基地，即垃圾焚燒廠和填埋場的綜合體。新焚燒廠“選址還處於朦朧狀態”近一兩年來，市垃圾填埋場庫容告急，特別是垃圾焚燒廠頻遭市民投訴，焚燒廠的搬遷問題已成為民�長期關注的焦點。而本次橫瀝鎮總體規劃草案近期規劃年限僅為2013年-2015年，橫瀝會不會成為新焚燒廠的所在地？對此，市住建局和市環衛局相關負責人昨日均明確表示否認。市住建局迷你倉市規劃編制研究中心相關負責人表示，規劃草案提及的垃圾綜合處理基地與火車西站焚燒廠的搬遷選址沒有必然聯繫，“不能說它是(新焚燒廠的選址)，也不能說它不是，新焚燒廠的選址還處於朦朧狀態，在橫瀝安排相關用地屬於規劃戰略考慮。”同時，市環衛局環境工程科相關負責人亦表示，對橫瀝鎮總體規劃草案涉及垃圾處理基地知情，但其強調稱“在橫瀝的規劃充其量只能算是備用選址之一，建與不建還沒有定論。”前述市住建局相關負責人透露，新垃圾焚燒廠的選址將在新版的“城市環境衛生專項規劃”里得到確認，目前該規劃正在緊張修編，預計明年上半年完成。“如果現在誰肯定地說哪個地方是最終選址，那一定是謠傳。”鏈接2025年橫瀝城鎮化水平翻番根據《惠城區橫瀝鎮總體規劃(2011-2025年)(草案)》，橫瀝鎮將定位成東北部山區以自然生態、現代農業、休閒旅遊度假為主導，生態特色經濟突出、環保型高新產業適度發展的科技新城衛星鎮、休閒旅遊特色鎮和綠色濱江生態鎮。到2025年，橫瀝的城鎮化水平將達65%，即在現在的基礎上翻番。按照規劃草案，未來橫瀝將形成鎮區和矮陂社區兩大公共服務中心，大嵐、墨園、新榮、黃沙洞、招元水庫等5個片區將設服務點，同時服務于居民和遊客。作為生態聞名農業鎮，到2025年，該鎮生態綠地將接近3萬公頃，占鎮域總面積的87.09%。據瞭解，惠城區橫瀝鎮地處惠城區東北部，轄區總面積343平方公里，下轄40個村和3個社區，總人口7.56萬人，是惠城區面積最大、農業人口最多的鄉鎮。除了橫瀝湯粉遠近聞名，橫瀝鎮還是惠州梅菜的原產地和主產區，曾被國務院授予“梅菜之鄉”的稱號。儲存倉
