A “heartbroken” 24-year-old
Burlington man killed himself while
fleeing from police Monday after
allegedly abducting a woman from a
Walmart in Mukwonago, according
to authorities in Eau Claire.
The suspect, Mitchell F. Owens,
24, was found dead Tuesday in a
wooded area near Eau Claire from
what appeared to be a self-inflicted
gunshot wound.
According
to
WEAU.com,
court records filed Tuesday in Eau
Claire show Owens told the former
co-worker he abducted outside
the Walmart in Mukwonago that
she had broken his heart and the
kidnapping was the only way they
could be together.
The criminal complaint filed
against Owens also contends
the victim told investigators she
recognized
Owens as a
former
coworker when he
walked up to her
Monday about
3 a.m. outside
the
Walmart
and ordered her
into his car at
gunpoint.
Mitchell f. Owens
At a news
conference Tuesday afternoon, Eau
Claire County Sheriff Ron Cramer
confirmed Owens was found dead
in a wooded area about a half a
mile from Zion Lutheran Church in
Fall Creek, WEAU.com reported.
Cramer said Owens took his own
life. A rifle was found next to his
body.
According to the report, law
enforcement on the scene heard
a gunshot at 1:30 p.m. Monday.
Crews spent the remainder of
Monday evening and into Tuesday,
searching the area. The sheriff told
those at the press conference the
department was cautious about
entering the wooded area because
they were concerned Owens could
be waiting for them. About 200 law
enforcement personnel participated
in the search.
Several residents in the area were
forced to evacuate while police
searched for Owens.
Schmidt initially said police
weren’t releasing the name of the
victim because they weren’t sure if
all her family members had been
notified.
“We don’t want them to hear it on
the radio,” he said.
Schmidt said it was sometime
after 3 a.m. Monday morning when
other Walmart employees became
concerned about the victim’s
whereabouts.
“Apparently she took a break
at about 3 a.m. or so and after that
they couldn’t find her,” Schmidt
said. “Store personnel checked
surveillance cameras after paging
her and not being able to find her.
They saw a silver, four-door car on
the tape and a male got out. He was

Chief Kevin Schmidt said Monday
the 21-year-old woman who was
abducted escaped on her own at an
Eau Claire gas station and is safe.
The Twin Lakes Village Board
discussed the $9 million drop in
value of the village’s tax incremental financing district in their regular
board meeting Monday.
The district, used as a financing
tool for communities to build and
develop, was created in 2007. With
the issues the economy faced in
2008, the district’s property value
has dropped by about 17 percent and
is not generating tax revenue for the
district.
Dawn Gunderson, senior municipal advisor and vice president of
Ehlers and Associates, said readjusting the base value would take
the district from $55 million to $43
million.

In a stark juxtaposition of a recommendation
handed down a week ago, the Waterford Town
Board this week flatly denied a proposed gravel
extraction operation that has been the source of
controversy within the community.
Last week, the town Plan Commission largely
favored a cursory review of a proposed mining
operation at 33319 Hill Valley Road. While
a formal vote was not tallied, commissioners
attempted to offer the Town Board a 3-1 recommendation of moving forward with the project.
Because the proposal did not have a fourth
“yes” from the seven-member appointed body,
however, a formal vote was not recorded.
While revisiting the issue this week, the
five-person Town Board on June 8 made a clear,
decisive decision to deny the plans to offer brothers Dale and Greg Himebauch a conditional-use
permit for the proposed mining operation at their
property.
The board based its denial on 11 separate
points, many of which were raised a week ago
when nearby residents aired concerns about the
plans to commissioners.
From an environmental and quality-of-life
standpoint, the list of reasons behind the denial
include the likelihood of increased truck traffic,
the prospect of standing pond water from a nearby
wetland and the ongoing presence of dust in the
immediate area.
Other reasons behind the denial include the
potential for nearby property values to decline and
an assertion from town officials that the proposed
mining site is not in keeping with the intended use

for the property.
The recent debate over the mining site has been
a case of déjà vu for long-time town residents.
Seventeen years ago, the Himebauchs came
before the town with a similar request. A permit
was initially issued in 1998, but the town reversed
course in 2002 as the land sat idle and a litany of
concerns — including noise, increased traffic and
impact on the rural character of the area — were
raised at the time.
Many of those same concerns bubbled back to
the surface during the recent review. While there
was some support at the recent Plan Commission
meeting for the potential economic growth in the
town, most of the recent speakers have opposed
to the plans.
The 11 bullet points came at the recommendation of Town Attorney Michael Dubis, who
reminded town officials of the 2002 suit the
Himebauchs filed against the town.
“Whatever we say, we need to say it with
specificity,” Dubis said.
With the Town Board’s swift denial of the
conditional-use permit, there are no further plans
to discuss the proposed revisiting of the mining
site.
Had the board approved the permit, it would
have been one in a series of lengthy steps before
any construction work would have taken place.
Editor’s Note: A corrected version to last
week’s Waterford Post story on this topic was
posted to our website at www.myracinecounty.
com.
The correct vote in the Plan Commission was
3-1 in favor of the gravel pit, but the vote needed
four affirmatives to pass.
w
Numerous arrests were made June 7 in an
incident at Homerun Heaven in Yorkville.
The sports center/event venue was hosting
a rodeo and concert when the Racine County
Communications Center received a complaint
of loud music at about 5:30 p.m., according
to a Racine County Sheriff’s Department
release.
Deputies responded and spoke with
management about the loud music, and it was
determined that the facility had a permit.
However, the communications center
received another call at 7:30 p.m. The caller
stated that a man had assaulted a security
guard at the center.
When deputies arrived, they learned there
were multiple fights in progress. Ten Racine
County Sheriff’s squads, four Mount Pleasant
police squads, two Sturtevant police squads
and one Wisconsin State trooper responded to
maintain order.
Two private security guards were injured,
with one taken to the hospital by rescue
personnel. No law enforcement personnel
were injured, and five patrons were arrested
and taken to the Racine County Jail.
About an hour after the second call, the
communications center received a report of a
rollover crash on northbound I-94. The State
Patrol handed the accident, and a preliminary
investigation showed the crash involved
patrons from the event.
Authorities said they believe alcohol was a
contributing factor in the accident.

WIAA STATE SOFTBALL CHAMPS
DAIRY BREAKFAST:
Herda Farms will host the
34th annual Kenosha County
Farm Breakfast on Saturday.
The farm is at 4602
Highway 83, Burlington. The
breakfast runs from 6:30 to
10:30 a.m. and costs $6 per
person. There is no charge for
children 6 and younger
With a big breakfast and
a wide variety of animals to
meet, there will be plenty to
keep visitors entertained.
The breakfast will serve a
purpose beyond having fun,
however, and that is educating
the public, said Rachael
Crane, a member of the
Kenosha County Dairy Team.
Crane, who is also
breakfast host Ben Herda’s
sister, said the event is fun for
kids to come see the animals,
but this serves as more of an
informative experience.
“It gives people an
opportunity to come out and
see where their food comes
from,” Crane said.
New to the event this year
is a tent called “Agriculture in
Action.” It will have booths
with various agriculture
professionals to answer
questions.
“When people think of
agriculture, they think of a
farmer milking a cow,” Crane
said. “There are so many other
industries that touch that we
do.”
