LONG-TIME EMPLOYEE BECOMES NEW OWNER,

BRINGS LIFETIME OF EXPERIENCE
Decades before he became the new owner of University Coin and Jewelry,
Lake Mills native Jason Wrasse was cultivating his love of coins and stamps. From
the age of seven, he could be found at his grandfather’s side as they browsed estate
sales, auctions and antique shops for rare coins, stamps and collectibles. Although
it was the start of a lifelong passion, Wrasse never imagined his hobby would one
day become a career.

“My grandfather taught me a lot of what I know, but it wasn’t the coolest
thing to do anymore in high school,” he laughs, adding that he went on to college
and worked as a golf professional at several area golf courses. But when he saw a
job listing for a part time position at University Coin and Jewelry in 2010, he jumped
at the chance to work for the business he’d frequented over the years, with many
positive experiences—including selling a gold chain to pay for college textbooks.
Then-owner and founder of the business, Dennis Lemke, was skeptical at first, until
Wrasse shared all he’d learned from his grandpa. “He hired me on the spot,” says
Wrasse, “and within seven months I was manager of the store.”

It turned out to be a perfect fit. Lemke was already one of the top stamp
experts in the Midwest, and he’d built his buy-and-sell shop into a successful jewelry
store as well. The two enjoyed the wave of historically-high gold and silver prices in
2012-13, when customers lined up outside the door with buckets of coins and jewelry
to sell. They also diversified when that wave ended, investing in more jewelry and an
already skilled, highly experienced staff; the University Coin and Jewelry team now
includes two certified GIA gemologists, two expert jewelers and goldsmiths, and
Wrasse himself is a rare watch and coin expert.

Hall comes calling for Kind

Middleton’s

coach named to
Hall of Fame
BY ROB REISCHEL
Times-Tribune
Jeff Kind was a first-year
teacher at Cuba City back in
1978. And due to the diminu-
tive nature of his paycheck,
Kind signed up for as many
coaching jobs inside the build-
ing as he could find.
“Freshman football, fresh-
man boys basketball and
assistant baseball … and my
contract to teach and coach all
of those was for $9,400,”
Kind recalled. “When I got
my first job at Cuba City, it
was almost a necessity
because they paid you so
poorly.”
Coaching has always been

PUBLIC NOTICE
The owner of the Club Tavern property at 1915 Branch Street
has filed a petition to remove and de-commission the historic des-
ignation of the property. The Club, formerly known as Ye Olde
Tavern, was erected in 1908 and was the subject of the book,
“Blue Collar Aristocrats,” by E.E. LeMasters. The owner has stat-
ed that the historic designation has been a major detriment to the
ability to sell the property, and he would like for the historic des-
ignation to be removed.
Per the Landmarks Commission ordinance, if by June 6, 2018,
no buyer can be found who is willing to abide by the landmarks
designation, the landmark designation shall be rescinded from
the property.
Please contact Abby Attoun, Director of Community
Development, at 821-8343 or [email protected] for
more information.
