Top of the Laurels: Honoring a role model for children

LAUREL — To Milt Dean, on being named the 64th Kenosha News Person of the Year. More than 30 people were nominated this year, and Dean was chosen by six judges for being a former teacher and exemplary role model for children, and an advocate for veterans and Little Leaguers. He’s going for 50 years (he’s at 48 now) of leading the Prairie Lane Elementary School students in intramural sports. “I never want to look back,” he said. “I want to keep doing what I’m doing.”

DART — To those who are running red lights in the city. You see them every day, wrote a Kenosha reader to the Voice of the People. Lee Simons summed it up: “People seem to think that the yellow light means speed up and get through the intersection, and most of the time they are going through a red light. This happens at every intersection … Yellow means slow down and stop.”

LAUREL — To those who took the plunge in Lake Michigan, many for another year, in the annual New Year’s Day tradition in Kenosha. In particular, we salute 21 members of the Jandrowski family who took the plunge to honor patriarch Anthony Jandrowski of Kenosha, who died Dec. 30. “We know he would think we all are crazy,” said daughter Tricia Strash.
