Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support: Contact:  Jake SawyersDementia Care [email protected] August 20, 2024 ADRC of Walworth County Dementia Awareness Spotlight: Frontotemporal Dementia and Family Support (ELKHORN, WI): On Friday, September 13, 2024, the Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) of Walworth County will host a free educational presentation on frontotemporal dementia, also called FTD, and family support. Speakers from the Association of FTD and Lorenzo’s House, a non-profit organization focused on supporting families with younger-onset dementia, will provide the presentation. “FTD is the most common form of dementia for individuals under the age of 60,” says Jake Sawyers, dementia care specialist. “FTD symptoms are different from Alzheimer’s. The age of onset is typically younger. And it is often misdiagnosed. This presentation will educate attendees about FTD and introduce families to the amazing work of Lorenzo’s House.” The Dementia Awareness Spotlight will be held from 10 a.m. to noon at the Walworth County Health and Human Services building, 1910 County Road NN, Elkhorn. Registration is preferred. Virtual attendance options will also be available. Contact Dementia Care Specialist Jake Sawyers at (262) 741-3273 to register for the event.

The Town of Delavan held a Special Town Board Meeting last evening, Tuesday, July 6, 2021, and the following occurred. Below is an excerpt from the ” draft” minutes from the Special Town Board (TIF) Meeting on 7.6.2021.

Supervisor Phillips made a motion to dissolve the TID district, in its entirety. The motion was seconded by Supervisor Jedlicka.

Supervisor Knipper confirmed that the TID/TIF Project was brought to the attention of the Town Board and “when an idea comes to the board, it is our job to put it on the table for discussion, which we did. There was no attempt to hide this from the public. We bring things to the attention of the people?”

Chair Larry Malsch called for a Roll Call Vote, and this is how the Town Board voted.

Chair Malsch – YES

Supervisor Jedlicka – YES

Supervisor Phillips – YES

Supervisor Gaulke – NO

The motion carried 4-1 (Gaulke, NO), which means the TID District Boundary Project was dissolved, in its entirety (7.6.2021).
