Brookfield native is finalist in chip

flavor contestBy Sarah Pryor

Freeman Staff

BROOKFIELD – WhenChristina Abu-Judom stum-bled upon the Lays Do Us aFlavor contest while hangingout with friends and familylast summer, she thoughtcoming up with unique fla-vors for chips was just a funway to pass the time.

“I entered Thai peanut,cilantro, yogurt, tomato basil,feta, mozzarella – I just wentthrough all my favoritefoods,” Abu-Judom said. “It’ssuch a blur now because Inever thought it was going togo anywhere.”

One of the last flavors sheentered was chicken and waf-fles, based on an incidentwhich has become now infa-mous in her family, at leastfor her 13-year-old nephewKaden.

“A few years ago there wasan enormous line for the con-tinental breakfast at thishotel, and Kaden got this waf-fle and before he walked awayfrom the table he told my sis-ter not to let anyone take abite of it. I didn’t hear himsay that, and I took a bite of

WAUKESHA – The execu-tive chairman of HUSCOInternational has vowed thathe will match every dollarthat is contributed to SchoolsThat Can Milwaukee bytoday’s date, up to $1 million.

After Gus Ramirezannounced this at a breakfastreception a week ago, STCMreceived more than $150,000

toward the cause in the firstday alone, or $300,000 with thematch money included. As ofyesterday, $600,000 had beenraised – or $1.2 million withmatch funds from the RamirezFamily Foundation included.

Ramirez fully believes inthe program. STCM wasfounded in 2010 with the goalof closing the achievementgap between low-income andminority students in Milwau-kee’s schools and their subur-

ban peers.Leaders in the community,

business world and educationhave been challenged to worktogether to improve Milwau-kee’s schools through STCM’sefforts, Ramirez said.

The program’s goals are toexpand and replicate thearea’s high-performingschools, to give the schoolswith the potential to be greatthat extra boost to achievegreatness, to recruit strongleadership, train existing lead-ership and create networks ofhigh-performing schools.

Whether a school is public,

charter or choice doesn’t mat-ter, Ramirez said, as long as itfollows the best practices thatproduce results.

“The biggest problem Wis-consin businesses are hav-ing right now is in meetinghuman resources needs,” hesaid. “The problem is thatMilwaukee’s schools aren’tpreparing enough studentsto fill the positions available.For the jobs here, we couldinterview 10,000 studentsand maybe 200 would bequalified.”

Holy chip!LAFAYETTE COUNTY – A

LaFayette County circuitcourt judge set bail at $3 mil-lion for Jaren Kuester, theWaukesha man being held inconnection to an apparenttriple homicide in the ruralvillage of South Wayne onApril 27.

No charges have been filedyet, but Kuester is still beingheld in the LaFayette CountyJail on three tentativecharges of first-degree inten-tional homicide after 70-year-old Gary Thoreson, his wife,66-year-old Chloe Thoresonand his brother, 76-year-oldDean Thoreson were foundapparently murdered in theirresidence. No informationhas been released on how thethree were killed.

“Judge William Johnstonhas ordered the probablecause statement sealed for atleast the next 60 days and itmay be extended at the dis-cretion of the judge,”LaFayette County SheriffScott Pedley said in a Thurs-day press release. “The inves-tigation of these homicidesremains active and is contin-uing. Search warrants issuedduring this investigationhave also been orderedsealed. Sealing these docu-ments is necessary in orderto effectively investigate andprosecute criminal cases.

“Preventing the interfer-ence with the ongoing inves-tigation outweighs the publicinterest in disclosure of theinformation contained inthese critical documents, atthis time.”

The cover page of the sealedprobable cause statement also

states that thejudge has prob-able cause tosuspect thatKuester com-mitted bur-glary and theft.

On April 27,Kuester wasarrested at an

apartment complex at 1001Delafield St. in Waukeshajust before 3 p.m. after one ofthe alleged murder victims’1998 blue Ford pickup truckwas found in the complex’sparking lot.

Pedley said in a newsrelease that a family memberreported finding a deceasedperson at a residence in the9000 block of Phillipine Roadin the Wiota Township at 9:53a.m. Sunday. When deputiesresponded to the location,they found two additionaldead people inside the resi-dence.

Dozens of friends andneighbors gathered at achurch in Wiota to mourn thethree family members foundslain in their rural home.

Rev. Luke Smetters toldthose attending the prayervigil at Wiota LutheranChurch Wednesday nightthat community membersneed time to slow down,regroup and grieve the loss ofthe three.

Former Wiota LutheranPastor Lisa Nelson said theThoreson family is a part ofthe fabric of the community.

No one from the Thoresonfamily was present at thevigil.
