A five-day recount of the Sept. 14 primary, which concluded Sunday, gave him the victory by three votes over Adam Gibbs. Initially, Gibbs won the primary by four votes, but August called for a recount.

Chicken nuggets and tater tots top favorites in Unified BY TERRY FLORES When it comes to lunches served at elementary schools, nothing beats chicken nuggets and tater tots. At least not among the hundreds of students who attend elementary schools in the Kenosha Unified School District and participate in the National School Lunch Program. Like any preference, familiarity drives what kids tend to choose to eat, and a food item's popularity is among the factors that helps the district to decide whether it remains a staple on a school lunch menu, according to Cindy Gossett, Unified's director of food services. USDA standards Even before it decides what to offer, however, the district also must follow the federal guidelines for nutrition prescribed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

"Then she walked around the building looking like a rock star, like Mick Jagger," said Bruce Benhoff, Corinne's son. Corinne's longtime friend Pat Alderson said watching Corinne come down from the sky "was something else." Just after the jump, Corinne called her son, Ronald Benhoff, who lives in Arizona. "She told me it was so cool and so quiet, that she could just hear the wind," Ronald said. Bruce said his mother's determination was contagious.
