Lake Country Chamber Ensemble Concert is Saturday, February 28. This free concert begins at 2:30 pm, at Shorehaven’s Lake Terrace Apartments, Clubhouse
1380 W. Wisconsin Ave. Door # 7

Lake Country Chamber Ensemble (LCCE), the newly formed chamber ensemble, will present its debut concert at Lake Terrace Apartments on Shorehaven’s campus. This Chamber orchestra is made up of local area musicians, many who played in this past summer’s pit orchestra for the Oconomowoc Community Theatre’s production of Oliver. Orchestra members simply wanted to come together again to play beautiful music and share it with our community. Founder Rick Grothaus has created a smaller chamber ensemble for accomplished amateur musicians that blend traditional band music with an orchestral string section. Any donations received will be used to cover concert production costs with all other proceeds going to the Rudolph E. Timmel Music Scholarship Endowment Fund to support Oconomowoc School District students’ music endeavors.
Repeat performance will take place at 7:00 pm on Feb 28 at Dr. Martin Luther Church, 325 S. Main Street.

"Let's Make A Deal" brought the house down when contestants raced for prizes, peeked behind curtains and fell for unwieldy winnings. Everything from smelly old shoes to a lime Jello mold was bargained, along with beauty shop and Cafe LaBelle gift certificates, and Italian dinners. The afternoon rocked with laughter, costumes and wild surprises.

The Sussex Thirsty Duck was Lake Terrace residents' destination for a wintry afternoon of frolics. Strikes, spares and gutter balls sent laughter across the alleys as the novelty bowl created new friendships and tall tales. Duck bowling consists of 18 mini bowling lanes. The rules are the same as regular bowling, everything is just 1/4 the size.

Oh Deer! The frigid temps brought in visitors to resident Cleo W.'s courtyard apartment window, where they munched on shrubs and gazed at their onlookers. Cleo said the deer have become her friends on the frosty mornings. "I feel a real connection with nature, and they feel really comfortable with me," she laughed. "Watching these graceful creatures is uplifting for us all."

The Life Enrichment Library offers new furniture, an unmatched Lac La Belle view and a sunny perch for avid readers, and volunteers Ginny S. and Nancy A. couldn't be happier. Lake Terrace resident resident Ginny, a former Wauwatosa librarian, and Nancy, a former math textbook editor, said they duck out during a load of laundry or after a nice walk to catalogue books. "It's a great location for us, and easy to pop in and out," said Nancy. "This gives us both a sense of accomplishment." They love when bridge groups use the space as a wintry escape, when staff dine there, and when someone is looking for the perfect weekend thriller. The Library serves on an honor system for returning books. "It all seems to work, and we know we're providing a needed service," said Ginny.

No small feat - She turned 100 yesterday. 100. And if you know longtime RN and smart talker Marilyn P., you know she nailed it. And then some.
Marilyn was showered by dozens of friends and family, so many people that she finally had to ask them to leave. "I survived that birthday," she winked. "She has WAY too many friends," said a woman across her dining table. "And they all want to be there for her."
Shorehaven Tower resident Marilyn served as an RN care coordinator at Shorehaven for more than 20 years. Her background in nursing included caring for, and about people. "You have to be patient. You have to be kind. But most of all, you have to carry on."
Amidst state and federal regulations, "bossy" coworkers and doting families, Marilyn stuck to the rules, and to her glib humor. "As long as I've got my head on right, I'm grateful," she smiled. "Aging comes naturally for me, and all that comes with it." The week before, she crossed the skywalk to Cafe LaBelle for a couple blueberry pancakes and unlimited coffee. Her banter rings throughout common spaces and her quick wit catches fans midstride. She awoke at 3 a.m. this morning just to count her blessings. "It's monumental all right," she proclaimed as a giant chocolate birthday cake skirted her side. "And I'm going to keep carrying on, just you watch."
