     William Chaplick has been named as “Citizen of the Year 2007.” Coming to the New Berlin area over four years ago, Chaplick helped transform what used to be an old school building into what in the football world would come to be know as Milford Academy, now the number two rated prep school in the nation. Along with Chaplick’s record of success, he said just making a difference with one student and making them a positive part of the community is worth his many efforts.
