Steven Rosales, Wisconsin inmate 737526, born 1989, incarceration intake December 2024 at age 35, anticipated discharge date not yet determined

Bestiality

In November 2024, a former police officer who had inappropriate sexual contact with his dog was sentenced to two years in prison.

Steven Rosales, 35, pleaded guilty to three counts of bestiality - engaging in sexual conduct with an animal for incidents at his Campbellsport Wisconsion home.

Rosales is a former school liaison officer in Washington County Wisconsin charged with misconduct in office and one count of sexual misconduct by a school staff member.

While investigating an another matter, police reviewed the contents of Rosales' phone, and found conversations "regarding Steven engaging in sexual intercourse and cunnilingus with his dog." That information led to the bestiality charges in Fond du Lac County.

He was also placed on extended supervision for three years by the Court.

Before the sentence was issued, Rosales apologized to his family, friends, and the community. He pointed to health issues, work stress, multiple miscarriages by his wife, and other circumstances which damaged his mental health, leading to negative coping skills and sex addiction.

According to the criminal complaint, in the texts, he describes the interactions with the dog, and also explains his behavior.

Police went to Rosales' home in Campbellsport, where they found three dogs, all golden retrievers. Rosales said the contact was with just one of them, a 4-year-old named Tolula.

Ghosts from All Over the State

Boscobel

Ghosts aplenty are said to haunt the old Boscobel Hotel. Celebrity shades John F. Kennedy and his wife, Jackie, may haunt room 19, which the former first lady used as a place to "freshen up" during a campaign stop in March 1960. Or maybe the ghosts of John Nicholson and Samuel Hill haunt the room. These two traveling salesmen met here in September 1898. They later formed the Gideon Society, dedicated to placing Bibles in hotel rooms around the world. Or maybe the spirit is Adam Bobel, who built the hotel in 1865. Columnist Ralph Goldsmith once penned this ode to Bobel, the only bit of Wisconsin doggerel we know of dedication to a ghost: "The ghost of Adam Bobel came a knockin' at the door. 'Come in, come' I says to him. 'But don't track up the floor. It's newly washed this afternoon.' And then I shook with fright, for Adam stood before me, with the door still fastened tight."

Campbellsport

The Amber Hotel, a popular supper club and bar at 139 West Main, is home to the ghost of Ed "Mush" Bauer, a former owner. A true larger-than-life legend, Bauer once tipped the scales at a not-so-spectral eight hundred pounds and was renowned as one of the world's physically largest hotel-and-tavern owners. At the age of his death in January 1957 at the age of fifty, Bauer had slimmed down considerably, to a mere four hundred pounds. Much loved the Amber and can still be heard clumping around the building. "There are so many rooms upstairs, we heard different noises," says Lois Zingsheim, who her husband, Dale, currently owns the hotel. "We say it's him walking around up there. He gets lonely when we are gone."

Edgerton

The Fuchs family met Pete Oppengaard face-to-face only once, in unusual circumstances on a chilly November morning in 1987. Shirley Fuchs woke from a restless sleep to find Pete standing at the foot of her bed. He was dressed in something blue that extended over his head. Pete had died twenty-four years earlier, in 1963, so perhaps it was a shroud. Shirley had known Pete as a child-she had often visited his home to share sugar doughnuts with the old guy. Now, as an adult, she was living in his former home, and despite Pete's face being covered by the blue shroud, she knew right off who it was. Shirley's son, Alex, saw him too. This was the sole occasion any of the Fuchs family saw Pete in person, though he continued to reside in the house for several more years. The night he chose to reveal himself was the very night his widow, Hilda, died in a Stoughton nursing home. Pete was a playful soul, and when he did manifest himself, it was always in a lighthearted manner-taking small objects, turning lights on and off, moving furniture, and leaving dirty wineglasses on the table, presumably his.

Elm Grove

The two-story farmhouse at 1920 Highland Drive has at least three long-term resident ghosts. They're spooky but friendly. An older female ghost with her hair pulled back sometimes walks down a hallway. She wears a striped floor-length dress gathered at the waist. Sometimes a little girl is seen peering into cupboards and a ghostly dog is heard paddling, his toenails clicking across the uncarpeted floor. Demo, the son of the man who owns the house, had the most unnerving encounter of all. "I thought I heard my dad in the other room snoring," Demo said. "It bothered me, and I had to shut the door. I went in the other room and looked on the couch, where I thought he was lying, and he wasn't there. Needless to say, the hair went up on my head. I flew out the back door as fast as I could. It was a good excuse not to do my homework."

Green Bay

For many Green Bay Packers fans, Vince Lombardi was like God-he could do it all. And like God, Vince is all around us even though he can't be seen. Marie Lombardi, Vince's window, used to "visit with" her dead husband at his exhibit in the Packer Hall of Fame. According to Lombardi's biographer David Maraniss, "She certainly talked to him or believed she talked to him after he died. I got recordings of a speech she was going to give at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. She was practicing it, and she stopped and startled, and you could hear the address Vince like he was there."

Mark Kanz of the Packer Hall of Fame agrees. "Once in a while, it looks like something is a little out of place or awry, and it seems like the ghost is a good place to lay the blame." Then there's the local businessman who gave up a fifty-yard seat for the 1996 NFC Championship-the first played in three decades-"so Vince's ghost would have a good seat."

John Gehring, a Green Bay psychiatrist, a purchased Lombardi's home in 1969, when the coach went to the Washington Redskins. Lombardi used to watch films of games in his basement and had his home office there. Gehring says, "Sometimes you get a feeling that Vince is here. When there's a bad game or a bad play, you can hear someone walking around here."

Fans around the country were startled to see a familiar-looking figure staring back at the TV camera, wearing the trademark hat and brown coat and standing atop a pile of snow as he watched the victory parade in 1997, following the Packers' trouncing of the New England Patriots 35-21 in Super Bowl XXXI. Turns out it was a man had attended the same church Lombardi had once attended. However, many fans weren't convinced. They believe it was Vince himself.

Still not convinced? Keep an eye on the sports pages or your ears open to football commentary for the number of times Vince Lombardi's ghost is invoked. You'll be surprised. If Wisconsin has a most famous ghost, known the world over, it's that of Vince Lombardi. Asked about replacing a legend, former head Packer coach Lindy Infante said, "There is a ghost of Lombardi here, but it's a friendly ghost."

Hartland

Ghost Harvey's claim to fame is that he contributed to a soundtrack recorded at Hartland's Millevolte Recording Studio in 2000. Owner Vinny Millevolte dubbed the ghost Harvey, naming him after invisible rabbit from the famous play and movie. Millevolte said that during a recording session, a heartbeat-like sound showed up on one of the tracks, though no one present played that beat. Harvey wasn't the only ghost alone in haunting the building, which backs up against the hill below the cemetery. "Late at night, you can sometimes hear doors creaking, someone coming up the stairs, or something in the kitchen," says Millevolte. "I always have to look."

Madison

In 1989, four university women sharing a house on North Brearley Street experienced lights flashing on and off, appliances coming to life for no reason, and loud music blaring from the switched-off stereo. Joy, who was home alone with the doors locked, was napping one afternoon until blaring music jolted her awake. Every light was on in the living room, and the dining-room chandelier was lit. All the kitchen cupboards were open, the front door was unlocked, and the screen door was ajar, as if the ghost had made a hurried exist. Sarah couldn't breathe, couldn't move, couldn't scream. Sometimes the old hag stared down at her from a perch in the chandelier. Amy couldn't stand the feeling of being stared at by unseen presence while the claw-foot tub and refused to bathe there. The fourth roommate had nightmares about what was behind the door leading to the attic. Later the women learned that their landlord's mother, who had lived in the house for eighty years, had died in it.

Milwaukee

Hands down, Aunt Pussy has the best name of any ghost we know. Though long gone, she still holds a tight grip on the Brumder Mansion at 3046 West Wisconsin Avenue, as she haunts the Gold Suite. The Victorian mansion is now a bed-and-breakfast, and the Gold Suite was formerly Aunt Pussy's room. An austere, fussy German immigrant when she was alive, Aunt Pussy remains so in death, frequently expressing disapproval for owner Carol Hirschi's ornate decorating. Aunt Pussy is known to rearrange window shades according to her half-shuttered, half-open preference, and she frequently fusses with table settings. Most of all, she doesn't like dogs, especially when they're on the bed. A creepy feeling awoke Carol one night, and she got the distinct impression that Aunt Pussy was really ticked off that one of Carol's dogs was sleeping with her on the bed.

The list of Aunt Pussy's alleged ghostly activities continues. A visiting Native American medicine man complained of many chatty spirits in the Gold Suite, and one psychic went "completely off her nut" after spending a night there. At one point, the suite's mirror moved across the room, landing in the bathtub without breaking. Then Carol found fresh droplets of blood in the bathroom, though she was the only person home. And for years, the doorbell refused to work for guests, and the programmable tune would always change from the one Carol had chosen. Eventually Carol let Aunt Pussy pick the tun3e, and so long as "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" or "Happy Birthday" is selected, she's as happy as any austere German woman can be.

Pipe

Club Harbor, built in 1846 as a stagecoach hotel and later used as a bed-and-breakfast, began showing its ghostly side after Chris Bray purchased the building in 1999 and began renovations. At first, Bray noticed little things such as lights being turned on after hours. "Somebody wanted to party," he says. "Some people have stayed here don't really recall what the checkout time is." A rotund Asian man with a Fu Manchu mustache who had once worked at Club Harbor as a cook manifested before Bray's eyes in a medicine-cabinet mirror. Then there's the mischievous young dark-haired girl with pigtails who runs through the hallways slamming doors. Remember, if you go looking for ghosts, consider taking some time for the ghosts to get used to you. "It's like deer hunting," cautions Bray. "You have to sit still and be like that for a long time before you hear something."

Rochester

The first tavern in western Racine County was the Union House, now Chances restaurant in Rochester, built in 1843. Co-owner Deb Schuerman says, "We've had the cash register do crazy things when it's not even plugged in. And one time, I saw on the second floor taking inventory when I heard this beautiful music that sounded like piano music. We don't even have a piano! It was almost like a harpsichord." There's also a young Civil War soldier and a woman in a green dress who are often seen in the building."

Sawyer County

Professional fishing guide and longtime firefighter Al Denninger says, "I intended to keep quiet about it. I didn't want to sound like people who have lunch with Elvis or just talked to God." But people all up and down the Chippewa Flowage were talking about the polaroid photo Denninger had snapped while fishing the "Big Chip" in October 1991. The picture shows an amorphous animallike shape shrouded in white and suspended in front of the tree line. According to Denninger, his client was the first to spot the apparition. "All of a sudden he looked at me, his mouth wide open and his face white as a ghost, and said, 'Al, wha-wha-what's that?' I looked up and saw it coming down through the trees on the island just across the channel."

The two fishermen said the white-robed ghost remained in position for about a minute and a half drifting to the left and away through the trees. "All this time, it never changed shape. And it had been raining for five straight days, so smoke was not a possibility. Besides, I know what smoke looks like." Denninger sent the photo to Polaroid for analysis. "When they gave it back, they said. 'Whatever that thing is, it's not a doctored negative or trick.' Anyway, you can't tamper with Polaroids-there is no negative." Denninger later discovered that for years, locals had been referring to the area of his photo as Ghost Island, based on a number of other strange encounters there.

West Bend

The RESTAT Building at 724 Elm Street was built in 1897 and today houses the RESTAT prescription benefit management company. It previously housed the West Bend High School, and in later incarnations was home to the elementary school, the library, and even the city's recreation center. In an all-too-frequent scenario that's become a ghostly cliché, this building is haunted by a janitor. This janitor committed suicide in the school's basement, and from all accounts, he wasn't-and-isn't-all that nice. According to Jackie Maynard, a former instructor at the recreation center, "The ghost tended to mess with females; not too many men ran into him. It was definitely a male spirit. He was never menacing, but there was a distinctive presence, cold spots where you could feel the hair on your arms stand up. In the morning, things would be moved on people's desks."

Usa, Joe l'idraulico della campagna 2008 muore a 49 anni

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, l’idraulico del Midwest divenuto famoso con il soprannome di ‘Joe the Plumber’ durante la campagna elettorale del 2008 come metafora dell”uomo qualunque’ della middle class americana, è morto di cancro a 49 anni nella sua casa di Campbellsport, un centinaio di chilometri a nord di Milwaukee.     Wurzelbacher si era fatto notare per un faccia a faccia con l’allora…

[shahananasrin-blog]

[ad_1] Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who briefly became “Joe the Plumber,” the metaphorical American middle-class Everyman, by injecting himself into the 2008 presidential campaign in an impromptu nationally-televised face-off with Barack Obama over taxing small businesses, died on Sunday at his home in Campbellsport, Wis., about 60 miles north of Milwaukee. He was 49.The cause was complications of pancreatic cancer, his wife, Katie Wurzelbacher, said.Mr. Obama, then a United States senator from Illinois, was campaigning on Shrewsbury Street, in a working-class neighborhood of Toledo, Ohio, on Sunday, Oct. 12, 2008, when Mr. Wurzelbacher interrupted a football catch with his son in his front yard to mosey over and ask the Democratic nominee about his proposed tax increase for some small businesses.During a cordial but largely inconclusive five-minute colloquy in front of news cameras, Mr. Wurzelbacher said he was concerned about being subjected to a bigger tax bite just as he was approaching the point where he could finally afford to buy a plumbing business, which he said would generate an income of $250,000 a year.Three days later, “Joe the Plumber,” as he was popularized by Mr. Obama’s Republican rival, Senator John McCain, was invoked some two dozen times during the final debate of the presidential campaign.Mr. Wurzelbacher became a folk hero of sorts during the campaign’s final weeks, particularly among McCain supporters and conservative commentators who cottoned to his remarks that Mr. Obama’s share-the-wealth prescriptions for the economy were akin to socialism or even communism and contradicted the American dream. Mr. McCain’s running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska, also jumped in, appearing onstage with Mr. Wurzelbacher at rallies.But by Election Day, his image in the spotlight as a burly, bald, iron-jawed John Doe eroded as the public learned that he was not a licensed plumber (he could work in Toledo only for someone with a master’s license or in outlying areas) and owed $1,200 in back taxes.He flirted with supporting Mr. McCain but later referred to him as “the lesser of two evils” on the ballot and never revealed whom he voted for that November.“Let’s still keep that private,” his wife said by phone on Monday.In 2012, Mr. Wurzelbacher won the Republican nomination to challenge Representative Marcy Kaptur, the Democratic incumbent in Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, but was crushed in the general election, winning only 23 percent of the vote to her 73 percent.During that campaign, he released a video defending the Second Amendment and blaming gun control as having helped enable the Ottoman Empire to commit genocide against Armenians in the early 20th century and Nazi Germany to carry out the Holocaust, saying gun laws had stripped the victims in both cases of the ability to defend themselves.Again defending a right to bear arms, he wrote to parents of the victims of a mass shooting in 2014 in Isla Vista, Calif., near the campus of the University of California, Santa Barbara, saying, “As harsh as this sounds — your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights.”Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher was born on Dec. 3, 1973, to Frank and Kay (Bloomfield) Wurzelbacher. His mother was a waitress, his father a disabled war veteran.After high school, he enlisted in the Air Force, where he was trained in plumbing. He was discharged in 1996, and worked as a plumber’s assistant as well as for a telecommunications company.Capitalizing on his celebrity after the 2008 election, he appeared in TV commercials promoting digital television; published a book, “Joe the Plumber: Fighting for the American Dream” (2009, with Thomas Tabback); and covered the Israeli ground invasion of Gaza in 2009 for PJ Media, a conservative website. In 2014, he went to work in a Jeep plant.In addition to his wife, who had been Katie Schanen when they married, he is survived by a son, Samuel Jr., from his first marriage, which ended in divorce; and three children from his second marriage, Samantha Jo, Henry and Sarah Jo.Although Mr. Wurzelbacher ended his encounter with Mr. Obama by shaking hands with him, he didn’t seem satisfied by the candidate’s response to how his tax proposal would affect a small plumbing business.“If you’re a small business — which you would qualify, first of all — you would get a 50 percent tax credit, so you’d get a cut in taxes for your health care costs,” Mr. Obama explained. And if his business’s revenue were below $250,000, he added, its taxes would not go up.“It’s not that I want to punish your success; I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too,” Mr. Obama added. “My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody.“If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off,” he continued. “If you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you — and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody — and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.”Mr. Wurzelbacher was unpersuaded.“It’s my discretion who I want to give my money to,” he would later say repeatedly. “It’s not for the government to decide that I make a little too much, and so I need to share it with other people. That’s not the American dream.”Ms. Wurzelbacher insisted on Monday that her husband’s encounter with Mr. Obama in 2008 was completely spontaneous, not staged by Republican operatives or anyone else, and that Mr. Obama’s appearance in the neighborhood had actually been arranged by a neighbor down the block.“It was completely coincidental,” she said. “It always amazed him that one question thrust him into the national spotlight.” [ad_2]

Buechel scores four touchdowns, Kewaskum outlasts Campbellsport

KEWASKUM – In a battle of explosive offenses, Kewaskum had a couple more strikes.

The Indians had a big kick return and two receptions for scores by senior receiver/defensive back Benjamin Butler and two rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards to outlast a 40-30 big play battle with Campbellsport on Friday night. Kewaskum senior quarterback/defensive back Matthew Buechel accounted for four touchdowns with two runs and the two passes to Butler to help the home squad capture the Kettle Moraine Trophy.

“Heck of a game on both teams part,” Indians’ coach Steve Tennies said. “I’m just so happy for my guys. We’re still trying to find out what kind of team we are and we’ve won two different ways. I feel real good about what these guys are doing and who they’re becoming.”

Kewaskum exploded to start the game. Buechel fired a 27-yard dart over the middle to fellow senior receiver/defensive back Damareyon Taylor on the first play of the drive. Two plays later, Buechel rolled left on a quarterback keeper run and scampered 41 yards to paydirt.

“Matt is one of our captains,” said Tennies of Buechel. “He’s a senior quarterback who is doing a phenomenal job. It’s not easy to do what he did tonight.”

Campbellsport responded with their flex bone offense rushing attack. Gardner ran for 50 yards on the Cougars’ first drive, including a 30-yard run down the left sideline before scoring from five yards out. Senior tight end Cullen Beisbier caught a two-point conversion pass.

Senior running back/linebacker Max Melzer gained 18 yards on a shovel pass from Buechel after Buechel escaped a sack. Buechel later dropped a perfect back-shoulder pass on the left side to Butler for a 14-8 advantage.

The road squad then brought in its passing game. Junior quarterback Mitchell McCarty tossed a short pass left to fellow junior running back Cole Kaehne, who turned it into a 28-yard gain. Gardner had a 20-yard run and a touchdown called back on holding before McCarty later hit Kaehne again for a 9-yard touchdown on the right side. Gardner ran in a two-point conversion.

The Indians then got a stop after a turnover on downs inside the Cougars’ 5 and capitalized. Buechel, after two runs for 31 yards, hit a wide-open Taylor with a 24-yard strike on the right side to the Cougars’ 10. Buechel then scored on a 5-yard read option and Melzer added a two-point conversion run for a 22-16 Kewaskum lead at halftime.

“I think our coach put in a very good game plan today,” Buechel said. “Our head coach made sure we were all on the same page before the game and we all practiced really hard this week. We went full pads on Thursday, which we usually don’t do. We knew that we had to put in a lot of work and I had a lot of good blocks by the offensive line today and a lot of good blocks by the wide receivers. Runs like that can’t happen without them.”

Both teams combined for three touchdowns on three plays in a 30-second stretch near the middle of the third quarter.

Buechel and Butler hooked up again to extend the Indians’ advantage four minutes into the second half when Butler caught a 3rd and long pass on the left side and made two tacklers miss on his way to the end zone.

“Damareyon Taylor made a great block that allowed me to get through,” said Butler of the big pass. “When I got through, I broke those two tackles but without Damareyon Taylor, I probably would have been down.”

Gardner picked up where he left off in the first half when he took the first play on the ensuing drive 80 yards. Butler then returned the following kickoff 85 yards up the middle.

“The kickoff return team made that gap for me and I just took off,” said Butler of his runback.

All three scores featured missed two-point tries.

“Ben Butler is a heck of a player,” said Tennies of Butler. “He does a lot of little things that aren’t as explosive, but we watched him on film last week and thought, ‘What a phenomenal game he had,’ even though he didn’t score the touchdowns. Tonight, he did that and had the explosive plays.”

Gardner later capped off a run-only drive at the end of the third quarter with a 16-yard burst down the left side. He then punched in a two-point try.

Melzer scored the knockout punch on a 27-yard burst up the middle with four and a half minutes to play.

“What unbelievable balance that kid has,” said Tennies of Melzer. “He looked like he was going to go down there like three or four times right before the goal line. That’s just a senior wanting to put a cap on the game and he certainly did.”

Portage County Historical Society

6549 N. Chestnut St.

Ravenna, OH 44266

The Portage County Historical Society was formed in April, 1951, as a non-profit educational society whose objective is "to collect, preserve and display items of historical value" relating to Portage County; to collect historical material of all kinds; and to "promote and disseminate historical information." One of the society's goals is to encourage interest in the history of Portage County. This is achieved by the many activities of the society which includes tours of the museums and grounds for school groups and the public, a free lecture series, displays of historic items, a research library, numerous publications, speakers, and various preservation activities. The Portage County Historical Society is located at 6549 North Chestnut St. in Ravenna, Ohio, southwest of Maple Grove Cemetery and next to the Ravenna High School Stadium complex. The 12 acre campus has many attractions, some of which are for rent.

The John Lowrie and Mary Helen Beatty Library was built in 1968 with a cathedral style stained glass window on the west end of the building which came from the 1882 Portage County Court House in Ravenna. The Strickland House (rentable) was built by George Strickland in 1869 for his wife Lucretra Welton Strickland. The Salmon Carter House Museum is a notable example of a Greek Revival farmhouse built by one of the first generation settlers in the Western Reserve in 1835. The Earl G. Proehl and Emmett J. Kline Clock Tower was originally atop the Portage County Court House in Ravenna and was removed when the court house was torn down in 1960. The Indian village represents a hypothetical, stone-age living site in Portage County.

The Campbell Land Office was built by John Campbell in 1810-1811 for his headquarters at Campbellsport, which is about three miles southeast of Ravenna and is believed to be one of the first land offices in the Western Reserve. The Log Cabin is an early 1820’s hand hewn log cabin that was reconstructed on the grounds of the Historical Society and furnished to the period of the 1820’s in mostly primitive country antiques. The Amphitheater (rentable) made of composite lumber is available for events that require an outdoor stage with electrical hookups for bands and a cover for the stage area. The Ford Seed Company Collection is housed in a Photographers Studio that was originally located on South Street in Garrettsville. The Mahan New England Barn is an early nineteenth century New England "Yankee Barn" that was moved to the Society in 1974.
