Wisconsin Ag Experts Worry about Farms’ Financial Resilience As the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) forecasts a slight decline in farm income this year, Wisconsin agriculture experts continue to worry about the financial resilience of the state’s farms. The USDA’s annual Farm Income Forecast expects net farm income to increase by 1.4 percent from 2019 in inflation-adjusted terms. But net cash income – a measure of farm-related income minus cash expenses during the year – is forecast to decline by 10.7 percent this year. A big part of that decline comes from large sales of commodities in inventory or storage. In 2019, inventory sales reached $14.7 billion, but the USDA expects this year’s inventory sales to be only $500 million. State Senator, Marinette County Residents Oppose PFAS Amendment State Sen. Dave Hansen (D-Green Bay) and a group of Marinette County residents spoke out March 3 to denounce a lastminute amendment on PFAS regulation that passed the Assembly in February. The amendment calls for additional research on PFAS contamination in Wisconsin. At a press conference at the Brown County Courthouse, Hansen said the measure doesn’t hold the companies that contributed to the contamination accountable. He called for senators to vote it down. Hansen and members of the community group S.O.H20 said they would urge Gov. Tony Evers to veto the amendment if it passes the Senate. “Unfortunately, if the amendment were to become law, it would not be a step forward, but more than a few steps back in an effort to protect our children around the state from drinking water poisoned by PFAS,” Hansen said. PFAS, or per- and polyfluorinated substances, are a type of chemical believed to be hazardous to human health. They’re known as “forever chemicals” because they don’t break down in nature. High levels of PFAS contamination have been found in Marinette and Peshtigo and have been attributed to the firefighting foam used at Tyco’s fire-training facility in Marinette. Some Counties Struggling to Recruit Census Workers Some Wisconsin counties are lagging behind in receiving applications for censusworker jobs. Census postcards will be mailed to Wisconsinites in mid-March, and they can respond online, by phone or by mail. The U.S. Census Bureau and local communities are pushing to get the most responses possible because the census, which happens every 10 years, helps to determine the state’s congressional representation and the amount of federal funding that Wisconsin gets. Any undercount could mean a loss of money, so census takers will knock on the doors of people who don’t fill out the census form on their own. But as of March 3, Dane County needed 2,380 more applications to meet its recruitment goals, and La Crosse County needed 1,029, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. Census Bureau spokesperson Bob Giblin said Wisconsin’s tight labor market has made it hard to recruit people, so the bureau raised the per-hour pay a couple of months ago. “In Wisconsin,” Giblin said, “they can earn between $17 and $24 an hour depending on the county.” Wisconsin Public Radio, © Copyright 2020, Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System and Wisconsin Educational Communications Board.

many seasonal viruses such as the flu. Precautions include: • Staying home when you’re sick, except to get medical care. • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick. • Washing your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use hand sanitizer. Look for one that’s 60 percent or higher alcohol-based. • Coughing and sneezing into a tissue (make sure to throw it away after each use!), or coughing and sneezing into your arm or elbow, not your hands. Teach kids to do the same. • Cleaning and disinfecting your home as usual with regular household disinfectants. Pay special attention to frequently touched surfaces such as doorknobs, countertops, tabletops and handrails. A Scandia Village Good Samaritan in Sister Bay new restrictions on visitors went into place Wednesday. Administrator Michelle Knox said the facility is barring all non-essential visits to the campus. “It will be determined on a case-bycase basis,” she said. “We don’t want to restrict family in an end-of-life situation or other very specific things.” Visitors will be screened, wash hands, and given protective equipment to wear. Those with potential exposure to COVID-19 through travel or contact will not be allowed into the facility. At Sister Bay’s Hometown Pharmacy, customers are depleting the store of hand sanitizers and masks. “We can’t get any masks or hand sanitizer in our pharmacy right now,” said Paul Fritschka, a retired pharmacist who fills in at the pharmacy as needed. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, but I’ve never seen the interest people have in it now,” he said. “People should be aware of what’s going on and what the ramifications are.” He said people are asking whether they can or should stock up on medication, but he said most insurance plans allow for only a 30-day supply. Customers have also asked him whether there will be any shortages of medication. At this point, Fritschka isn’t seeing that, but, he said, “All those types of things we really don’t have any answers on at this time. But stockpiling isn’t the way to go.” At Northern Door Children’s Center, the staff is following the story just as everyone else is, encouraging frequent handwashing, cleaning and not touching your face. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released a list of registered disinfectant products qualified for use against COVID-19 through the agency’s Emerging Viral Pathogen Program. This program allows product manufacturers to provide the EPA with data, even in advance of an outbreak, that show their products are effective against harder-to-kill viruses than SARS-CoV-2. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced last week that it intends to purchase 500 million N95 respirators for the Strategic National Stockpile during the next 18 months.

oor County is still considered at low risk for COVID-19, the virus that, through Tuesday, had infected more than 1,000 people and killed 32, mostly in Washington State. That’s eight times the number of infected people reported one week earlier. Door County schools and medical centers are stepping up preparations and communication to the public in light of local concerns. Door County Medical Center hosted an informational session on Facebook Live on Monday, and officials from the Door County Public Health Department and Door County Medical Center met with superintendents from the four mainland school districts Tuesday to update them on the latest guidance for the virus. Sevastopol Superintendent Kyle Luedtke said the school is not yet looking at canceling any large events or sending special guidance regarding family travel with spring break approaching in April. “We’re going to follow what Public Health tells us to do,” Luedtke said. “We’re in contact with Public Health regularly.” He said some families that have traveled have contacted the school and self-quarantined. “We hope people use good judgment and take precautions in traveling,” he said. University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank released a statement advising staff to reconsider nonessential personal or business travel away from Dane County. “For the next 30 days, UW-Madison is canceling and suspending all upcoming university-sponsored travel to countries severely impacted by the virus,” she said. “This currently includes China, France, Germany, Italy, Iran, Japan, South Korea and Spain. However, the number of impacted countries likely will expand as the disease progresses. This action includes universitysponsored spring break trips.” Luedtke said Sevastopol has made additional hand sanitizer available, continues to emphasize handwashing and has instructed custodians to wipe down surfaces more frequently. Though children and healthy young adults have so far proven resilient to the worst symptoms of COVID-19, they can still contract the virus and spread it to more vulnerable populations, which is one reason why colleges and schools in heavily impacted areas have closed. Gibraltar Superintendent Tina Van Meer said the district will send a letter to parents later this week asking them to follow the Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ recommendations regarding travel during spring break. Those recommendations advise that anyone traveling to countries with a CDC Level 3 travel health notice must follow a limited self-quarantine for 14 days after returning to Wisconsin. “We will also remind parents of the signs and symptoms to look for with COVID-19 and encourage parents to keep children home when they are sick,” Van Meer said.

The district will complete more deep cleaning of the building during spring break, with special attention to door handles, railings and other areas with high traffic. At Door County Medical Center, two patients have been tested for the virus. Both were suspected because of travel to affected countries, and both came back negative. During a Facebook Live session, Dr. Jim Heise, chief medical officer of DCMC; and Susan Powers, public health manager/health officer of Door County Health and Human Services, discussed the latest updates on COVID-19. “The risk remains low, but seasonal illnesses are peaking right now,” Powers said. Though the peninsula is relatively isolated and no cases have been reported here, Heise and Powers urged people not to become complacent in taking precautions. “The reality is [that] we live in a global community,” Powers said. “We’re working with state and national experts to continue monitoring this.” Heise said that just two places in the state handle COVID-19 testing: the Wisconsin State Laboratory of Hygiene in Madison, and the Milwaukee Health Department. Hospital staff take a swab of patients, send it to one of those labs and get results within 24 to 36 hours. During the intervening period, the patient is quarantined. “Whenever there is a suspected case, we alert Public Health immediately,” Heise said. Heise urges visitors to the hospital to continue following the advice for handwashing that they would follow throughout the year. “At this point, we don’t have any specific limitations on visitors,” he said. “In Green Bay, with influenza outbreak, some hospitals have had limited visitation this year.” The medical center is prepared to alter cleaning protocols slightly in light of the virus’s characteristics. “What we know is, the virus can sit on surfaces longer,” he said. “So [a] room is cleaned thoroughly, and [we] let the room sit for two hours.” The general criteria for testing patients for COVID-19 are travel to an affected area and/or contact with a person infected with the virus or symptoms of the virus. “Fever, cough, respiratory issues, and some people have had diarrhea,” Heise said. “It can come across like the common cold. The time from exposure to a positive test is generally five days. The time from exposure to symptoms is about 11 days.” Evidence so far shows that 80 percent of those infected will have a mild, selflimiting illness. Heise said one reason not to do blanket testing of anyone with symptoms is that a positive test “doesn’t change how we would treat you because there are no specific treatments for COVID-19. We would treat you much like if you had the flu or other respiratory illness. The testing is good to tell us whether the virus has spread.” In a press release, Door County Medical Center explained that the virus is spread in the same way as

A New Path

Egg Harbor pursues recreationaltrail connection by CELESTE BENZSCHAWEL celeste@ppulse.com

he Village of Egg Harbor is developing plans for a multijurisdictional recreational trail in conjunction with the Town of Egg Harbor, the County of Door and the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s UniverCity Year Program. The Town of Egg Harbor has not yet viewed the proposal. The trail is envisioned as an off-road, all-seasons trail approximately three and a half miles long. The idea is for it to be “beach to beach,” with trailheads in Murphy Park in the Town of Egg Harbor and Beach Park in the Village of Egg Harbor, but largely accessible from anywhere in the village. It may include several offshoots with challenging terrain for experienced bikers and potential access to the waterfront on the bay. UniverCity will be in charge of the bulk of the design, including stakeholder and public engagement, identifying obstacles, soliciting ideas, reviewing easements, studying topography and establishing routes. Collaborating with the UW-Madison engineering program allows master’s students to get real-world experience. The trail will be a way to expand the silent-sports activities in Door County. “There’s not a lot of safe cycling facilities up here,” said Egg Harbor Village Administrator Ryan Heise. “As much as we think we’re this silent-sports/ecotourism destination, when it comes to biking facilities, there’s not a lot that exists.” Aside from the Ahnapee Trail from Sturgeon Bay to Kewaunee County and the Sunset Bike Path in Peninsula State Park, there are few cycling-specific paths in Door County. The trail would cut through four private-property parcels. Heise said most landowners are supportive of or have already committed to having the trail exist on their land, which is critical to making this project happen. The exception is the Village of Egg Harbor’s component, which would all be on the Alpine Resort property. Ideas for the

trail began after it went up for sale in 2018. Any commitment on that parcel would likely not be made until it has a new owner. The Village is looking to move a wastewater lift station that pumps water to the main treatment plant, which is currently located in the middle of the beach. The Village is also looking at an opportunity to buy a piece of the Alpine property to create more parking, use it as a trailhead and move the lift station there. It’s likely that any buyer of the Alpine would look to the Village of Egg Harbor to provide financial support for the project, in which case the buyer may want to strike a developer’s agreement. However, the Village is aware of the possibility that new owners may not want to go that route. “Regardless of if the Village can get their component of this going, I would still highly encourage and will work on this project, even if it’s just on these private properties,” Heise said. The Village included a question about the creation of the trail as part of its comprehensive plan update, which is in the process of being finalized. Seventy-five

percent of respondents said they would support its creation. “That is the most alignment of all the questions on our stakeholder survey,” Heise said. “It’s pretty significant. It’s something that everyone can get behind.” The county supports the project and will be including the trail in its Master Parks Plan, said Parks Director Wayne Spritka. It has also agreed to look at opportunities to maintain the trail because of the multi-jurisdictional crossover, depending on how creative the county can get with resources. An all-seasons trail will be a way to extend educational programs and to spread events throughout the year, including winter silent sports such as skiing, in addition to an already-packed summer schedule. One connection is the Horseshoe Bay Farms property, which has confirmed its support for the trail. The nonprofit organization in charge of its preservation and restoration, Horseshoe Bay Farms Inc., hopes to promote heritage, innovation and learning and make the property a center for community and education. The trail may also parallel the Niagara Escarpment in a section that includes caves

such Horseshoe Bay Cave, which are used for scientific research. The escarpment provides potential programming opportunities for organizations such as the Greater Escarpment Organization Discovery Center as well. “What a great opportunity to preserve a large swath of land and promote cultural heritage,” Heise said. “It’s land that would not be developed, so it wouldn’t be sprawled with a number of single-family homes or condos. I really do feel like this is something people can get behind.” Heise said the trail could be a way to create synergy among their common goals. “To make something happen could create a model that could then be replicated many times over in our other municipalities,” Heise said, “and eventually find ways to connect them.” To learn more about more plans for the Village of Egg Harbor, listen to the podcast “The Future of Egg Harbor” with Andrew Kleidon-Linstrom, Myles Dannhausen Jr. and Ryan Heise at doorcountypulse.com/ podcasts.

Condo Proposal Sent Back to Drawing Board Commision says condo development is too large for site by MYLES DANNHAUSEN JR. myles@ppulse.com

he Egg Harbor Plan Commission sent developers back to the drawing board on a plan for a condo and retail complex at the property now home to the BP gas station. “I really like the concept of the project,” said commission member Kathy Navis. “I much prefer to see 22 units in this arrangement than on 22 acres of land out here,” pointing to the orchards behind the Kress Pavilion. “I think it is too big. You hear it from every person in this crowd.” Developer Mike Schwantes said his team is willing to re-work their proposal. “We want to do the right thing here,” Schwantes said. “Now we’ll go back and look at it again.” Developers brought forward a plan with several revisions to the original plan based on feedback from the Plan Commission and residents. The new plan for a three-story building with 22 residential units on the top two floors and commercial units on the first floor, reduced the impervious surface area from 81 percent to 69.8 percent, about 1,600 square feet more than exists on the site under present use. The overall footprint of the building was reduced from 76,000 square feet to 73,000, and the design was adjusted to have commercial units along the entire street-facing side of the first floor. Developers also eliminated parking spaces from the front of the building. With the new design brought forward Wednesday, builders would still need relief from ordinances that restrict the maximum floor area of any building in the zoning district to 18,000 square feet, and limits impervious surface to 60 percent. “Even though the footprint is large compared to the site, I think we’re getting closer to the right feel of the building,” said architect Rick Fisher of Fisher and Associates. The total footprint of the building includes approximately one-and-a-half floors of parking in the basement level and first floor to reduce the need for surface parking. “This is important space in the community downtown,” Fisher said. “We’re not using land to park cars on.” Taking that into consideration the total footprint drops to about 46,000, which still far exceeds the village ordinance limiting it to 18,000 square feet. The project would require blasting 11 feet deep. Charles Paschke of Paschke Drilling and Blasting addressed concerns about blasting noise and damage. He noted that his family has been doing blasting for 92 years. “The project can definitely be done safely,” he said. “We do have dust control with giant vacuums that suck the dust out of the ground.”

Wisconsin Act 141 Snowmobile-trail funding On March 3, Gov. Tony Evers signed Wisconsin Act 141, which increases funding for counties to maintain snowmobile trails by $3 million. The state reimburses snowmobile groups to clear and maintain trails, but groups have argued that the reimbursement rate is significantly below the actual cost of trail maintenance.

Governor Tony Evers Gov. Tony Evers announced March 4 that he has authorized Attorney General Josh Kaul to add Wisconsin to a coalition of 18 other states in filing a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s diversion of $3.8 billion dollars for the construction of a border wall. In this lawsuit, the coalition argues that the court should rule that the federal Department of Defense’s diversion of funds to construct a border wall is an unconstitutional violation of the appropriation power of Congress. “This diversion by the Trump administration is a wasteful use of taxpayer dollars and neglects the needs of our state National Guard units,” Evers said. “There is simply no justification for the president’s continued desire to create a crisis at the border, and this move negatively impacts not only Wisconsin’s economy, but the safety of our communities.” Source: Evers press release Representative Mike Gallagher Rep. Mike Gallagher released the following statement after the House passed $8.3 billion in emergency supplemental funding to help address the coronavirus outbreak: “Congress has an obligation to take swift and decisive action to combat the threat posed by coronavirus,” Gallagher said. “This bill provides necessary resources to the federal, state and local officials on the front lines of this fight and will bolster the entire government’s ability to identify, respond to and treat those infected.” Source: Gallagher press release Senator Ron Johnson In an interview on The Story with Martha MacCallum on March 4, U.S. Sen.

Meanwhile, Outagamie County Executive Thomas Nelson criticized Johnson for closing his eyes to the deportation of Hmong residents of Wisconsin. There are nearly 50,000 Hmong living in Wisconsin, most of whom are refugees or descendants of refugees of the Vietnam War. In February, Nelson called on Johnson to hold hearings on the Trump administration’s announced intention to deport thousands of Hmong residents. Nelson tweeted March 9: “It has been FOUR weeks since I called on @SenRonJohnson to hold hearings on the #HmongDeportationCrisis – no response.

BILLS TO WATCH

He referenced a blasting job his company recently completed in Kaukauna across from an elementary school that required blasting 40 feet deep. That job was completed without issues. “The blasting itself is no louder than a firecracker,” he said. Cambria Mueller fears approval of the plan sets a dangerous precedent for the village. “What you have to do for one, you have to do for all, so where do you draw the line then?” she said. “What’s the point of having the 60 percent [impervious surface requirement] in there if we allow that to go through? It’s a very slippery slope and Egg Harbor is doing a great job thus far. This development needs to meet the regulations that Egg Harbor has set forth.” Sarah Bonovich took that concern a step further. “Deviances or variances are to be granted in proven cases of hardship to the owner or developer when there is no remedy,” Bonovich said. “In this case, the requested variances are requested only to increase density.” Several speakers expressed concerns about parking both during construction and when the building is completed, when many of the units will be rented out as short-term vacation rentals. Karen Peterson, owner of Maxwell House, echoed those size concerns. “I think the concept is good, but the building is massive,” Peterson said. “Anything over 2.5 times our largest allowed is out of character for Egg Harbor. It’s not close to being appropriate for little Egg Harbor. I think we need to keep working at this and bring it into a controllable size. “If you want to see what it’s like to despoil a village, go to Sister Bay. You don’t want to be another Sister Bay,” said Dave Callsen of Main Street Shops. Lauren Schar of Fireside Restaurant in Egg Harbor appealed to the existing character of the village, urging the plan commission and developers not to “give up on the things that make Door County special.” “Leave that space for a small business owner to run a business and put their heart and soul into it and leave a mark on this community,” she said. Egg Harbor historian Giz Herbst spoke passionately about not tearing down the long-standing stone building constructed by Herman Birnschein in 1931. “Nobody has said anything about that building down there that stands as an icon that nobody is making any attempt to save it,” he said. “Door County has had a habit of tearing all of these types of buildings down.” Schwantes said he knows there are some changes that can be done and recognizes that there are more steps to come. “We want an opportunity to address those concerns and do what’s right for the development, the Mueller family, and the village of Egg Harbor,” he said.

Representative Joel Kitchens Rep. Joel Kitchens said in a statement at the end of the Wisconsin legislative session that more than 94 percent of bills passed by the Assembly this session had bipartisan votes. “Since I was elected to be your state representative in 2014, I have always made it a priority to find common ground with my Democratic colleagues so we can address our state’s most critical issues,” Kitchens said. “After all, if we can’t learn to collaborate with each other for the betterment of Wisconsin, we will never get anything done. To me, that is unacceptable.” The last general business day on the Capitol floor for the Legislature is March 26, but the Assembly is not expected to meet before then. Source: Kitchens e-newsletter

Alumni Door County Profile

Lillie Conrad An attorney finding work-life balance by CELESTE BENZSCHAWEL celeste@ppulse.com To suggest an alumnus or alumna to profile, email celeste@ppulse.com. To learn more about Alumni Door County, visit alumnidoorcounty.org.

ven after living in France for a short time, 1997 Gibraltar graduate Lillie Conrad decided to come home to Wisconsin to become a corporate attorney – and her French still comes in handy. Conrad grew up in the deep country of Door County, somewhere in between Baileys Harbor, Fish Creek and Ephraim, she said. Her father lived in the Cayman Islands, so she also spent some time going back and forth between the two places. She said her experience at Gibraltar was very positive: She had a core group of friends that was really her whole class, as well as supportive teachers. She participated in mock trial and also spent her senior year in France as an exchange student. Conrad said she didn’t have much rhyme or reason for pursuing her undergrad degree at UW-Madison, where she studied French, international relations and political science. Also at UW-Madison, she earned her master’s in French and European Union studies and was able to do an internship in Paris with a government agency. From there, she attended Marquette University Law School in Milwaukee. Conrad always knew that she wanted to be a lawyer, but also that she would thrive in

a business setting. So instead of working at a law firm, she became an in-house attorney at Kimberly-Clark in Appleton, where she looks out for the legal needs of brands such as Kleenex and Pull-Ups when working on projects for product launches. It’s been the middle ground she was seeking for the past 12 years. “Sometimes we are resolving issues as well, but more of it is forward looking than backward looking,” Conrad said. For the past four of those years, Conrad has switched her focus to all things privacy and digital, she said. When asked how she’s able to move among different departments, she said, “You try to bring yourself along as much as you possibly can and ask a lot of questions every single day. Every day I’m learning something new. I’m never afraid to be the one to raise my hand to say I don’t understand.” Conrad has been able to work on larger issues that have been very meaningful to her, though they might not directly fall within her area of expertise – things such as women’s rights and unconscious-bias awareness within the company, she said, which she views as some of her biggest accomplishments. Conrad’s day starts with getting her nineand 11-year-old kids ready for school. When she gets to the office, it’s meetings, meetings, meetings. Because she’s working with clients who are located all over the world, sometimes she has to be on the phone early in the morning or late at night. That’s where the challenging part of her job comes in: achieving and maintaining a work-life balance and being present wherever she is. It was especially hard to create that balance and keep things moving while she was having her kids. “When I’m home with my kids, when they’re awake, I’m just 100 percent with them,” Conrad said. “I don’t want to be answering emails in that short period of time that I have with them in the evening.” When she’s not working, she’s spending time outside and traveling with her family. She also “really loves drinking coffee.” Conrad advises upcoming Door County grads to keep opening doors, keep learning and be kind to themselves.

SOUTHERN DOOR, SEVASTOPOL GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONIES The Southern Door County School District invites all community members to a groundbreaking event March 16, 5:30 pm, to celebrate the start of construction projects following the district’s successful referendum. The ceremony will be held in the high school cafeteria. Weather permitting, a ceremonial shovel turn will take place on the site of the new high school office addition by the east parking lot. Attendees will hear from district leaders and design and construction partners while enjoying music by the vocaljazz and jazz-band student ensembles. “We want to thank the entire community for your continued support of our schools,” said Superintendent Patti Vickman. “These improvements will update our buildings and impact the educational experience for all students in the district as they continue to excel in the classroom and throughout our community. We have so much to celebrate, as the school is the center of our community, and we are excited to invite everyone to share in this event together.” The Sevastopol School District is hosting a groundbreaking ceremony to kick off construction of its 2018 referendum

projects March 27, 2 pm. All community members are invited to learn more about the improvements that voters approved Nov. 6, 2018. The project will positively affect all students, 4K-12, by replacing aging facilities with new spaces designed for today’s teaching and learning. The project includes an academic addition to hold 4K-5 classrooms; a state-of-the-art tech-ed addition, including spaces for art, agriculture, woods, metals and a Fab Lab; and modern science labs funded by a donation from Therma-Tron-X. These additions will replace the two oldest portions of the building. “What an exciting time for our district,” said Lisa Bieri, school board president. “We are so grateful to the community for its ongoing support of our school district and are excited about the future for our students and community. My hope is that parents and community members will join us to celebrate this momentous occasion.”

Donald E. Rondou Donald E. Rondou, aka “Coach”, passed away on Monday, March 2nd, at the age of 87, at Woodside Manor in Green Bay. The only child of the late Marion and Edgar Rondou was born July 29, 1932, in Green Bay. Don attended West High School where he was a star in football, basketball, and tennis. While at West High, he excelled in tennis. Until last year when his record was broken, he was the only local Green Bay tennis player to win the Boys State Single Championship Title. Heavily recruited, Don chose to attend Northwestern University where he played quarterback, defensive back and also punted for the Wildcat’s football team. Don was also a very integral part of the tennis team, playing doubles and singles throughout his 4 years. The most pivotal part of Don’s college career, was meeting Jane Sutton, who was a member of the Synchronized Swim Team at Northwestern, and was his avid scholar. Don and Jane were married on September 1, 1956. After graduating from Northwestern, Don signed a contract to play for the NFL’s Washington Redskins, and played for head coach, Curly Lambeau. Don then pursued his love for the game of tennis, and was the first tennis pro at the inception of Western Racquet Club in Green Bay. Throughout the years, he taught hundreds of local tennis players from the Green Bay area, and was inducted into the Brown County Tennis Hall of Fame, where he served as a charter member. Even into his 60’s, Don was still playing tennis competitively. During this time, he was given the opportunity to coach both the Women’s and Men’s teams at St. Norbert College, where he eventually led the Women’s team to the Division 3 Rolex National Team Collegiate Championship. After Don and Jane both retired, they enjoyed 20 years of living year round in Door County. Baileys Harbor was their sanctuary. Watching the Packers, any and all tennis matches on TV, and spending time with family and friends was what he looked forward to every day. We will miss his wit and sassy sense of humor...there was never a dull moment when he was around! Survivors include his wife of 64 years, Jane; four children : Perry (Beth) Rondou, Green Bay, Craig (Diane) Rondou, East Lake, FL., Pam (David) Stahlke, Green Bay, Kevin (Tiffany) Rondou, Pulaski; Grandchildren: Lindsay (Steve) Lantz, Annapolis, MD, Austin Rondou, Minneapolis, MN, Brock (Mariah) Stahlke, Sturgeon Bay, Kaden Stahlke, Sturgeon Bay, Bella and Grayson, Pulaski, Gabriel Rondou, East Lake, FL.; Great Grandchildren: Henry, Violet, and Ruby Lantz, Annapolis, MD. Don’s family would like to say a BIG thank you to his Cardiologist, Dr. Jazayeri, and his team for giving us an additional 3 years to make memories with Dad. Thank you, thank you, to all of the staff at Unity Hospice for your guidance, care and compassion throughout this time. You are all such amazing people. We’d also like to thank all of the staff and residents at Woodside Manors. There are no words to express how much you meant to Dad, how many friendships and memories he gained, and how much you mean to Mom and the rest of the family. Per Dad’s wishes, there will be no service, but please stop by for a “Celebration of Life” gathering for him to share some memories with us on Saturday, April 18th, anytime from 12pm-4pm at the Woodside Chapel (1040 Pilgrim Way, Green Bay 54304)

This handsome kitten is very shy and enjoys being petted from the comfort of his bed. Once he warms up to you, though, he will gratefully cuddle in your lap and give kisses. We know Rascal has a wonderful personality that he’s saving for just the right family! Because of his withdrawn nature, he would be most successful in a home with children older than five. Like all cats at WHS, he is neutered, vaccinated and microchipped, plus his adopter will go home with a certificate for a free veterinary exam! Stop in to meet Rascal during our adoption hours. The WHS Door County Campus – at 3475 Park Dr., across from Cherryland Airport in Sturgeon Bay – is open for adoptions Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 12-6 pm; and Saturday, 12-4 pm.

(1) Of the more than 1,000 children younger than

five in Door County today, how many must be cared for all day, every day by an adult? All of them. Some families are able to have a parent stay home to provide childcare until the child enters school. Other families rely on grandparents or family members for childcare. No Small Matter is a groundbreaking documentary that examines who provides childcare across the county, how they do it and the tangible and intangible costs to families, childcare providers, businesses and communities. As part of United Way of Door County’s mission to build a community in which all people can achieve their full potential, it will screen No Small Matter during four free community showings: March 31, 5:30-7:30 pm, at the Southern Door High School library; April 6, 6-8 pm, at Crossroads at Big Creek in Sturgeon Bay; April 13, 6-8 pm, at the Sister Bay Village Hall; and May 19, 6:30-8:30 pm, at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. Sunshine House has received funds from the nonprofit organization Amber’s Last Promise to host mental health awareness sessions for its clients. Counseling Associates of Door County will lead eight sessions at Sunshine House, beginning April 1, covering subjects such as self-esteem, healthy friendships, coping skills and suicide awareness. “The goal is to ensure that we are being proactive with our clients and ensuring they have the tools and resources needed to assist in the event they need it,” said Mike Rabas, director of employment services. “We are here to better the lives of our clients, and that involves their mental health as well.” Amber’s Last Promise is a that promotes mental health awareness and strives to eliminate the stigma associated with the many forms of mental illness. In honor of her late daughter, Amber Ripple, Jodie Baacke started the organization to carry out Amber’s dream of providing a safe haven for those suffering from mental illness. Amber quietly dealt with mental illness herself and at the age of 28, took her own life. To learn more about Amber’s Last Promise, visit amberslastpromise.org. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and the Kewaunee County Public Health Department is partnering with Prevea Health to increase awareness of it. Free skin-cancer screenings will be held April 4, starting at 9 am, at the Prevea Luxemburg Health Center, 101 School Creek Trail in Luxemburg. They are open to all age groups. Medical professionals

(1) will offer spot checks and discuss the signs of skin cancer and how to protect your skin. “It only takes one blistering sunburn during childhood or adolescence to nearly double a person’s chance of developing melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – later in life,” said Cindy Kinnard, director of the Kewaunee County Public Health Department. “The single best way to protect yourself is to use sunscreen anytime that you’re outdoors.” To schedule an appointment, call the Kewaunee County Public Health Department at 920.388.7160. Eligible voters who live in Kewaunee County’s Town of Lincoln have a new polling location: the new town hall at N8016 Maple Road in Casco. Town of Lincoln voters should report to this location starting with the spring primary on April 7, when polls will be open 7 am – 8 pm. Eligible Kewaunee County voters can find out where to cast their ballot by contacting their local clerk’s office or the Kewaunee County Clerk’s Office at 920.388.7133. UW-Green Bay researchers are seeking adults ages 65 and older to participate in the Oral-History Project: Exploring Purpose and Meaning in the Life Stories of Older Adults. This project seeks to illuminate the purpose and meaning assigned to significant life experiences and milestone events as described by older adults. Participants will be asked to tell their life story and discuss social events, cultural forces and personal concerns that shaped their life from the earliest times to the present moment. Within this framework, participants may discuss interests, family histories, sociocultural influences, careers, cognitive and intellectual changes, life challenges and more. Participation is voluntary and will consist of telling your life story to an interviewer who will record it and use it to create an edited, journalisticstyle article that may be published as a posterpresentation at a conference or in a journal article, book chapter or internet blog report. Interviews are expected to take one and a half to three hours each. If you have any questions about the project or would like to participate, contact Dr. Dean VonDras at 920.465.5012 or vondrasd@uwgb.edu.

wasn’t sure what to expect when I walked into the Kress Pavilion on Feb. 29 for the second annual Fashion Forward show. I could only make assumptions based on clips of fashion shows I’d seen on the internet, but what I saw that night was so different and so much better than I could have imagined. I arrived early to get a front-row seat. It was my best friend’s first time walking in a fashion show, and I wanted to be right in front to cheer on this amazing woman. The room eventually filled with many other people who were also there to support the extraordinary talent of their friends and family members. But how did the Fashion Forward show start? Claire Erickson grew up in a home where her family was always asking what they could do to make the world a better place. Her mother was a sociology professor who taught courses on race and diversity and is now a social-justice activist, and Erickson took cues from her mother as she explored her own passions. When she began the show, Erickson – an artist with a passion for fashion – was a visual merchandiser and buyer for Target. Her job was to teach people how to put together outfits, track fashion trends and understand how they relate to current culture. During this time, she was asked to walk in a fashion show that benefited a breast cancer organization. Unsure about walking a runway, but intrigued by the idea of a fundraiser fashion show, she decided to participate. And it inspired her to begin organizing her own. “I thought, ‘This is really cool, and Door County doesn’t have anything like this,’” Erickson said. “And it might be kind of weird because I don’t know how many people in Door County have experienced a fashion show, but I thought this was something that could be cool in the offseason.” She chose female empowerment as her show’s focus: There would be diversity among her models, and proceeds would go to an organization that supports women. This year the recipient was Family Services’ Sexual Assault Center.

“With the focus being empowerment, I really wanted to not only be diverse in the sense of skin tone,” Erickson said. “To me it was important to have models of all sizes and heights and ages.” Choosing those models ended up being a harder task than she’d anticipated. After a public callout for models yielded a rather homogeneous response, Erickson knew she had to get more creative to find the wide diversity she was seeking. She turned to her friends, who told their friends; and she approached strangers if they were what she was looking for. Many of them responded, “Me? I’m not a model.” But that was exactly Erickson’s goal: “I want people in the crowd to say, ‘That’s like my sister; that’s like my mom; that looks like me,’” she said. And she pulled it off. Those who walked in the show weren’t trained or coached. They were simply told, “Here is the mark you need to hit,” and “Vibe with the music.” That was easy for those who had done it before and more intimidating for runway first-timers. As the designers’ works were presented one at a time, and you could feel the crowd’s love for each model. Although many had never done this before, they fed off the energy in the room as they strutted down the runway in their own individual way. Erickson’s other hurdle was finding designers. During the first year, she worked with some local designers. After that, she started receiving inquiries from people around the state and even a designer from Chicago. As her show grows, so do the reach and interest. Erickson also put a lot of effort into curating the show’s music. She asked for advice from friends who have done music for Fashion Week in New York and Paris but their suggestion of “Parisian, underground rave music” wasn’t the vibe she was going for. Instead, Erickson studied the looks of each designer to get a feel for their personal style. When she found possibilities for complementary music, she played it while walking around her apartment to see whether it worked. The result was a blend of tunes that flowed seamlessly from one look to the next and connected the designers into a cohesive show. With Fashion Forward 2020 complete, Erickson is brainstorming ideas for the shows to come. Some ideas she’s pondering are featuring only minorities or only older women, and increasing student participation. No matter which direction she takes future shows, her goal is always to create an event that supports, celebrates and empowers women.

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

hen you’re cranking out a half dozen stories a week, it’s easy to fall back on reporting crutches for the sake of efficiency. You come to rely on the people you’re most comfortable talking to: official sources from local government offices and boards, the heads of corporations or just the people you know will pick up the phone. Far too often, this leaves you with an overwhelmingly male perspective and not nearly enough voices of those who will be affected by a policy, law or development in their community. When I moved back to Door County and back to a desk at the Pulse in 2017, I aimed to flag this in my own reporting, to force myself to expand the range of perspectives our paper portrays in news stories, and to include more women in the conversation. I still don’t do it as well as I would like, but that voice in the back of my head has made a difference in many stories I’ve written since. In March of 2018, The New York Times began a concerted effort along similar lines to correct an ongoing oversight that had continued for nearly 170 years. “Since 1851,” its editors wrote, “obituaries in The New York Times have been dominated by white men. Now we’re adding the stories of other remarkable people.” In its Overlooked series, the Times combed history to find women, members of minority groups, and others whose contributions the paper had failed to recognize. Among them were poet Sylvia Plath, writer Charlotte Brontë, civil-rights activist Ida B. Wells and Emily Warren Roebling, who oversaw construction of the Brooklyn Bridge when her husband fell ill. No, it shouldn’t take a concerted effort to put more women on the page, but in a world in which leadership positions are dominated by men – from municipal and corporate boards, to executive director chairs, to state and national political positions – it follows that the lives and achievements we celebrate most often are those of men. So in the 2020 Philanthropy issue, we celebrate women in philanthropy: the organizations focused on women’s issues and the women grinding away at difficult problems and inspiring the next generation. You’ll get a glimpse of women who inspire, who have challenged the status quo, who are working every day to solve some of our community’s and our state’s most vexing problems.

(1) Sturgeon Bay High School students, led by senior Ava Carmody, are working together to prevent and reduce domestic violence within their generation through FYRE, a program in which students gather for peer-led programs that discuss taking leadership roles in recognizing and preventing teen dating violence, bullying, racism and sexism. (2) P.E.O. – Philanthropic Educational Organization – supports women through scholarships, and many chapters support their scholars with assistance beyond money: they send them gift cards and snacks, take time to meet with them in person, provide childcare or help with car rides. (3) When her son, Grady, wasn’t getting the reading help he needed in his fight with dyslexia, Kari Baumann became a crusader to change the way schools in Wisconsin teach reading. (4) Door County Medical Center is now home to a breast-milk depot thanks to the efforts of Jessica Skinner. Milk banks collect donated breast milk that can be fed to babies in neonatal intensive-care units or distributed to women who need it. (5) The Tales of Our Lives story slam has helped women – and men – to open up about some of the most formative stories of their lives, whether they are heartwarming, heart-wrenching or humorous.

Meet the women leading by example: Kendra Clarizio-Bilodeau

Habitat for Humanity’s board secretary, Kendra Clarizio-Bilodeau, was first the organization’s 40th partner. After going through her own struggles to find a home, she now gives back to the organization that helped her to land on her feet. “I knew I wanted to stand and help others who were feeling what I felt, to tell them it’s OK,” said Clarizio-Bilodeau. “I want others to look at me and know that if she can do it, I can.”

Anne Egan

After reading her son’s book, The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, Anne Egan realized that more needed to be done to bring awareness to the threats against water – an issue that’s crucial for the Door County community. She established Celebrate Water Door County to help celebrate and bring awareness to the waters that surround us. “Without the water, the county would be just another agrarian patch of Wisconsin – beautiful in its own right, but lacking so much that we have come to rely on,” Egan

said. “Water is a defining element of this county we call home. So where better to start than at home?”

Megan Lundahl

Megan Lundahl was already involved with the Women’s Fund of Door County when her mother approached her about a new story-slam event: Tales of Our Lives. Lundahl believes that storytelling – especially for women – is an opportunity to connect with others and create empathy among people and about experiences. “This is something I’m really focused on: helping people to create space for themselves,” Lundahl said. “That always comes down to empowerment. When we help people out, we need to be sure we are helping them out but not disempowering them, and then empowerment can become self-sustaining.”

Kaaren Northrop

Kaaren Northrop credits her father, Dave Callsen, for instilling her philanthropic drive. When the Door Community Auditorium needed an interim leader, Northrop stepped up and took on many of the responsibilities of an executive director. In addition to running Egg Harbor’s Main Street Market, Northrop serves on the board

She was also instrumental in developing the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor. “I don’t golf,” Northrop said. “I don’t go to the beach. I guess I feel like as long as I can contribute something, that’s what I’m going to do.”

Diana Wallace and Mariah Goode

Diana Wallace and Mariah Goode have been quietly working behind the scenes of the affordable-housing movement in Door County. Wallace is the president of the Door County Housing Partnership, and Goode heads the Door County Planning Department. “I just developed a passion about the need for affordable housing for our workforce in Door County,” Wallace said. “Some folks move every six months, and some live in deplorable conditions. These are full-time workers, people who are college educated, small-business owners, and it touched me in a way something has not for a very long time.” Photos by Len Villano

BOYS BASKETBALL

CLAFLIN CROWNED PLAYER OF THE YEAR by MATT POTHAST

f there was a season to break the Southern Door boys basketball team’s run of five consecutive Packerland Conference titles, 2019-20 was it. The Eagles lost more than 43 points per game to graduation, and the starting lineup opening night averaged just 22.7 points per game last season. Returning starters Ryan Claflin and Alex Daoust – plus a supporting cast of role players who developed quickly – extended the title run to six by finishing 14-2 and tied for first place with Kewaunee. The Eagles defeated the Storm 53-48 on the road in the final game of the season to secure the tie. Although Southern Door’s championship was certainly a team effort, Claflin stood out as a team leader for the 17-7 Eagles. The rest of the coaches in the Packerland Conference agreed by voting him Player of the Year. Claflin turned in a special senior season, averaging 22.2 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and finished his career with 1,188 points. He scored a season- and career-high 32 points twice, scored in double figures in all but one game, and scored 30 or more points four times. “It was definitely a great honor to be selected Player of the Year,” Claflin said, “especially because there were so many players who were deserving of it.” Claflin said that although others may have had some doubts about Southern Door’s chance to win the conference crown, he had a hunch that his team could be contenders. “There was a little added pressure [losing so much scoring], but I was confident in myself and my teammates that we would get the job done,” said Claflin, who will play at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay next season. “I thought coming into the season we were underrated, so it was a great reward to keep the streak alive.”

Grant Engelbert

Sturgeon Bay’s Gunnar Tebon and Sevastopol’s Robby Pollman also earned first-team honors. Tebon was a unanimous choice after averaging 22.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game and leading the Clippers to a second-place finish in the Packerland standings at 13-3. Sturgeon Bay coach Jim Benesh said Tebon was a big reason the team soared past expectations to compete for the conference title. “I was very appreciative that Gunnar earned an unanimous selection,” Benesh said. “From the end of last season to the start of this season, Gunnar worked extremely hard. I don’t think I have had a player work any harder.” Pollman scored 20.6 points and grabbed 4.4 rebounds for the Pioneers and broke the 1,000-point barrier midway through the season. The Pioneers finished 8-17 overall, including three conference wins in the last week of the season. Those eight victories were the most by a Sevastopol team since the 2010-11 team won 10 games. “I worked hard and had fun while doing it,” Pollman said. “I’m glad to end my high school career on that note.” Southern Door’s Alex Daoust, Sturgeon Bay’s Jake Schneider and Gibraltar’s Luke Steebs were named to the second team. Daoust averaged 15 points, 4.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists for the Eagles. Schneider scored 14.5 points and 6.7 rebounds per game, and Steebs averaged 15.5 points and 4.2 rebounds. “Last year [Alex] was the fifth starter, but he didn’t play as big of a role because of the senior class,” Claflin said. “He made a huge leap this year. He put in a lot of work in the offseason, and it showed in his success and the team’s success.” Sevastopol’s Brent Haberli and Gibraltar’s Dominic Krauel were named honorable mention. Haberli was the Pioneers’ second-leading scorer at 10.3 points per game and added 4.3 rebounds and 5.6 assists per outing. Krauel was Gibraltar’s third-leading scorer at 8.6 per game. 2019-20 BOYS BASKETBALL ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM First Team Name, school, year * Unanimous selection Tanor Bortolini, Kewaunee, senior Marshal Bukowski, NEW Lutheran, junior Ryan Carmichael, Kewaunee, senior*

by MATT POTHAST Eagles Fade Late A lost lead late in the game and an insurmountable early deficit ended the seasons of the two remaining Door County boys basketball teams in regional final action Saturday. Southern Door led 59-53 with four minutes, five seconds remaining, only to go scoreless the rest of the way as Kohler rallied to win 60-59 in Division 4 action. “It’s a tough loss,” Southern Door Coach Pete Claflin said. “Our guys feel bad, and I feel bad. We were right there, and we had a chance. We had them, but we couldn’t stop them down the stretch. We had a couple of looks at the end, but we just came up a little short. I’m proud of our guys. “We competed against a very good team on their home court, and we were one point away,” Claflin said. “That’s how these come to end at tournament time

sometimes. I’m proud of our guys. It was a fun ride.” Early Deficit Dooms Vikings Gibraltar trailed by as many as 17 points during the first half, rallied to cut its deficit to seven points three times during the second half, but couldn’t complete the comeback in a 79-70 loss to Wausaukee in a Division 5 matchup. Wausaukee jumped out to a 16-2 lead on Gibraltar with 14:00 left in the first half and stretched it to 27-10. The Vikings cut the deficit to 38-31 on a three-pointer by Spencer Krause, only to see the Rockets take a 46-36 lead at halftime. Dominic Krauel paced the Vikings with 16 points; Krause and Luke Steebs each scored 14. “Getting a couple of wins in the postseason feels good as a team, but obviously we wanted to move on further,” said Gibraltar Coach Justin Burress, whose team finished 7-18.

4 EAGLES EARN ALLCONFERENCE HONORS by MATT POTHAST

The conference coaches honored four wrestlers, including state-tournament entrant Grant Englebert at 160 pounds. Alec Guilette (113), Kyle Conard (138) and Riley Phillips (195) also earned AllConference honors. Griffin Slezewski, who qualified for the state meet at 126 pounds, was edged out of All-Conference honors by state champion and conference Wrestler of the Year Jack Severin. “We should be tougher next year with all five back, plus a number of eighth-graders coming up,” said Southern Door Coach Jerry Englebert. 2019-20 WRESTLING ALL-CONFERENCE TEAM First Team Name, weight class, school, year Brayden LaForce, 106, Peshtigo, freshman Alec Guilette, 113, Southern Door, freshman Max Severin, 120, Kewaunee, sophomore Jack Severin, 126, Kewaunee, junior Logan Steinhorst, 132, Kewaunee, sophomore Kyle Conard, 138, Southern Door, junior Mitchell Thompson, 145, Kewaunee, freshman Mason Jeanquart, 152, Kewaunee, junior Grant Englebert, 160, Southern Door, junior Mitchell Peters, 170, Peshtigo, senior Logan Kubetz, 182, Kewaunee, senior Riley Phillips, 195, Southern Door, sophomore Jason Reinke, 220, Kewaunee, junior Kody Klimek, 285, Peshtigo, junior Wrestler of the Year Jack Severin, 126, Kewaunee, junior

ibraltar needed Abbi Sitte to step into big shoes this season, but even her coaches couldn’t have foreseen how quickly she’d grow into – and out of – them. Gibraltar lost all-time leading scorer Payton Pluff to graduation and returning starter Karlee Kita to a torn anterior cruciate ligament that she suffered in softball last spring. All that Sitte, a senior point guard, did was lead the Vikings in scoring (16.6 points per game), rebounding (6.0), assists (4.4) and steals (4.6). Sitte led the Packerland Conference in assists and steals and was also the second-leading scorer behind conference Player of the Year Mackenzie Tlachac from Kewaunee. Sitte also leaves Gibraltar as its all-time leader in steals and assists, fifth in points, sixth in rebounds and tied for ninth in blocks. Head Coach Devin Thomas was effusive about Sitte’s season, and so were the other conference coaches who named her unanimous All-Conference along with Tlachac and Southern Door’s Nicole Norton. “I thought no one in the conference deserved to be a unanimous selection more than Abbi,” Thomas said. “She proved in conference play that she was one of the best players.” Sitte said she knew her team would lean on her to make up for losses from last year’s 16-7 team. Thomas also was in his first season, replacing longtime coach Josh Kropuenske. “I knew coming into the season it was going to be a big change being the only returning starter,” Sitte said. “I really started to push myself in summer basketball, and I started to gain confidence with every aspect of my game. It’s a pretty fulfilling feeling being able to hear that the other coaches recognize all the effort I’ve put into the game.” Sitte’s biggest impact came in Packerland games. The Vikings were 11-2 in games in which Sitte was at full strength and 0-3 when she missed a game or played limited minutes due to a bruised quadricep. The Vikings finished second to 16-0 Kewaunee in the conference standings. “I think the biggest step up was seeing how much faith my team and coaches had in me,” Sitte said. “It really pushed me to believe that I could accomplish my best season yet.” Norton was the third-leading scorer in the Packerland at 16.5 per game and added 4.2 rebounds per outing. Norton scored in double figures in each game but one, and she scored a season-high 28 points in a win over Oconto. Norton averaged 12.8 points during the last two seasons.

“It was a great accomplishment for Nicole to make the first team,” Southern Door coach Jason Shimon said. “She works so hard on the court and in the weight room, which paid off with this accomplishment.” Sarah Bridenhagen and Gibraltar’s Sage Krause were named to the second team. Bridenhagen scored 13.4 points and grabbed 4.6 rebounds per game. Krause averaged 12.9 points and 3.2 rebounds. Southern Door’s Jackie Atkins, Kendra Dantoin, Natalee Jandrin and Chloe LaCrosse made the honorable-mention team, along with Greta Meleen and Morgan Reinhardt from Sturgeon Bay.

For more than a decade, Tom Wurm had been taking prescription medicine for his acid reflux. Tom routinely scheduled physicals with his hometown provider in Manitowoc, but he felt like he had control of his symptoms, so he never questioned it. But around a year and a half ago, Tom’s symptoms were getting much worse.

More than 9 months after his laparoscopic Nissen procedure, Tom recommends anyone experiencing acid reflux issues to visit the Heartburn and Reflux Center at DCMC. “The fact of the matter is I haven’t taken a prescription drug for my stomach since the surgery. I’ve taken antacid a few times, but I think everyone does that on occasion. I have not had a stomach problem since,” shared Tom. “The whole team was very respectful and accommodating; they took care of me and made sure I was comfortable. Most importantly, they cured my illness.”

“I experienced painful burning when I would lay down to sleep,” he said, “bile would move out of my stomach and into my esophagus.” The medication he had been using didn’t seem to help. Sometimes his symptoms were so strong that it caused him to vomit. He also experienced pain in his chest while sitting up. “A couple of times, I really felt like I was having a heart attack.” With the support of his wife Tracie, Tom decided to seek medical attention.

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

He briefly considered a LINX procedure with his local provider, which is a band of magnets placed inside the esophagus to create a mechanical sphincter—a family member who works at Door County Medical Center (DCMC), recommended he try a more permanent procedure. “She spoke very highly about the hospital so I scheduled an appointment.” After initial tests at Door County Medical Center Heartburn and Reflux Center, which included a BRAVO monitor to gauge the severity of his acid reflux, plus the results of his esophagram, Tom’s greatest fear became reality: he not only had a hiatal hernia, which is a tear in the diaphragm causing the stomach to bulge upward, but he also had a condition called Barrett’s esophagus, a complication of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD). “With Barrett’s, my stomach had essentially grown into my esophagus,” explained Tom. “It also had the potential to cause cancer.” Because of these two diagnoses, DCMC surgeon Dr. St. Jean and his team recommended Tom undergo a robotic-assisted laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. A Nissen fundoplication strengthens the valve between the stomach and esophagus restoring the natural, physiologic anatomy to prevent GERD. The laparoscopic approach also allowed Tom to have his hiatal hernia repaired. Ahead of the surgery, Dr. St. Jean made an agreement with Tom that he would need to lose at least 15 pounds in order to be wholly successful. “One of the things that lead to acid reflux is belly fat,” says Tom, “and that extra weight just pushes on your stomach.”

Price Transparency with DCMC Cost Estimator

Cost Estimator is a resource on the Door County Medical Center (DCMC) website that allows people to obtain an estimate for the cost of services prior to booking an appointment. This tool includes estimates for over 1,000 different procedures and exams, including radiology, lab, surgery, and office visits. “Price transparency fits within DCMC’s promise to keep patients first in everything we do. We have offered estimates internally for over 10 years for our services to our patients,” says DCMC Patient Financial Services Manager Tiffany Huston, CAC, CRCR. “This tool has allowed us to work with patients and assist with the resolution of out-of-pocket expenses. Those resolutions can be payment plans, financial assistance, grants, and even signing up patients for insurance at no additional cost to them.” Cost Estimator is located on the homepage of dcmedical.org. Once there, users will be prompted to enter basic demographic information and the services needed from a scroll down menu. It is helpful to include insurance information if available or applicable. Cost Estimator will then generate a sample bill using historical data. If applicable, estimated insurance benefits will display. Cost Estimator combines this data in order to give an accurate estimate of the out-of-pocket expense to users.

In May of 2019, Tom had an outpatient robotic-assisted laparoscopic Nissen procedure with incredible results.

“Door County Medical Center values transparency and being an organization that patients can count on for excellent care and service,” says Huston. “We also encourage our patients to compare prices with Price Point, which you can search for online.”

“I no longer worry about lying down and going to sleep. I can sleep through the night and not be awakened by my stomach

GREEN DOOR TO NATURE

The Sugar Maple, Our State Tree by CHARLOTTE LUKES

(16)

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

his winter has been warmer than usual, and I learned that good friends had already tapped 180 sugar maple trees by Feb. 29 – a bit earlier than in the past. The best conditions for good sap runs are sunny, warm days with light winds, plus subfreezing nights. Back in 1893, a statewide vote by schoolchildren made the sugar maple Wisconsin’s state tree. A law that the state Legislature passed in 1949 officially named the sugar maple our state tree, the robin our state bird and the wood violet our state flower. We Wisconsinites, along with the people of Vermont and New York, can be proud that the sugar maple is our state tree. This outstanding species is without doubt the best known and most important maple in the United States, if not the world. Many people believe that this tree, native to northeastern America and nowhere else, reigns supreme as the world’s most beautiful broad-leaved tree. I enjoy an occasional breakfast of homemade multigrain, walnut, buttermilk waffles with pure maple syrup on them. Artificial syrups just can’t duplicate the flavor. Drizzle some pure maple syrup – an organic product that contains some minerals and antioxidants – onto your French toast, waffles or pancakes, and you will taste one of the finest and most healthful forms of sweetener known to humans. It’s also a native product that’s made in many areas of the northeastern part of the country. Thank the Native Americans for discovering the process of evaporating the sap to obtain the sweetened syrup and sugar. More than 10 million sugar maples will be tapped this spring in our country, mostly in Vermont. The tree’s hard, smooth-grained wood weighs about 44 pounds per cubic foot and is prized for making fine furniture, floors and musical instruments, including certain parts of high-quality pianos. Many of you bakers likely have a rolling pin made of maple. As much as we look forward to seeing trees flower and leaf out, we also admire the distinctive character that their winter silhouettes reveal. One favorite is an opengrown sugar maple that has a broader form and lower branching. It still stands alone in a large field north of Valmy, and my late husband, Roy, and I would always slow down to admire it on our way to Sturgeon Bay. Its trunk is relatively short compared to the tall, telephone-pole-like trunks of maples in forests, where one of these hardwoods can attain a height of 35 feet in 20 years.

Roy Lukes stands next to a huge sugar maple tree in Blossomberg Cemetery in Peninsula State Park. Photo by Charlotte Lukes.

Moist, well-drained slopes are their best habitat – along with American beech, paper birch and eastern hemlock – and they do not tolerate wet, acidic soils. Prime growing conditions can result in a 120-foot-tall tree with a diameter of five feet. The largest specimen Roy measured in Door County has a 16-and-a-half-foot circumference measured four and a half feet above the ground. Deer are fond of maple and hemlock saplings and eat large quantities of them during the winter. As a result, more climax maple-beech-hemlock forests are slowly

reverting back to being predominantly beech woods. Good examples are the habitats on Rock Island and at Peninsula State Park, where it’s difficult to find sugar maple and hemlock saplings. As long as deer populations remain high and out of balance with the carrying capacity of the land, the total number of maples will gradually diminish until the day when they will be rare in northeastern Wisconsin. Deer do not eat small beech trees – only the nuts of the mature trees. Sugar maples have taken over as the number-one street shade tree in the U.S.

because of the large and unfortunate die-off of millions of American elms. Perhaps the maples tend to be more of a small-town tree than a large-city tree because they’re sensitive to air pollution produced by heavy traffic and industry. Regardless of where you live in this region, find yourself an imposing sugar maple, and watch its development from day to day. Let it be your spring parade marshal: steadfast and strong, yet delicate and delicious – the king of all the broadleaved trees.

(ABC) of Wisconsin honored Keller with a Silver Projects of Distinction Excellence in Construction Award for Hatch Distilling Co. in Egg Harbor. The facility needed to be highly efficient for the distillation process and cost effective as a newly formed business. Keller met these design challenges by using two interlocked, pre-engineered buildings and a small, woodframe structure. This allowed the building to have various heights, roof slopes and exterior cladding reminiscent of old distilleries. And despite large snow storms, the project was still completed on time and on budget. The Projects of Distinction Awards recognize the most distinctive construction projects in Wisconsin and elevate awareness of the quality construction performed by ABC member firms and their employees.

THIS OLD STORE

The ‘BS Store’ on County F by PATTY WILLIAMSON, PHD

illiam and Wilhelmina Reinhard built Reinhard’s Store in 1916 on the southeast corner of Highway F and Maple Grove Road. They lived on the farm across the road, where Camp David – the home of today’s Fishstock concerts – is now located. Their grandchildren, Delores Prust Spittlemeister, Helen Prust Mueller and her twin brother, Herbert, were born at the store in the 1930s, when their parents, Herbert and Hildagard Reinhard Prust, ran it. Helen remembered the store’s potbelly stove, a gas pump out front, and flour and sugar that came in barrels and were sold by the pound. Delores added that vinegar also came in a barrel with a pump. Local farmers provided the butter and eggs for sale, and eggs sold for eight cents per dozen. A truck came by regularly to deliver bread. Candy was moved to higher and higher shelves as the children got old enough to climb. During the winter, their father cut ice from the bay in Fish Creek and stored it in sawdust in a shed behind the store. Times were hard. Delores remembered her parents saying that dairy farmers earned about eight dollars per month for the milk they sold, with a dollar going to the bill at their store, a dollar for cattle feed, and soon it was all gone. Victor Champeau, who lived up the road, owned the cheese

The Sturgeon Bay Advocate March 13, 1913 DON’TS FOR THE BOYS ON THE FARM. Don’t go behind a horse or cow without speaking. Neglect to do this may cause fright and the most docile animal

cannot be blamed for kicking under such circumstances. Don’t tie the rope around your waist or wrist when leading an animal. Should it become frightened and unmanageable, serious injuries might result, unless the hold could be released at once. Don’t kick the cow or thrash her with the milking stool when she seems cross. Cows are very sensitive creatures and such treatment only makes them worse. Besides being cruel it interferes with the flow of milk. Don’t mistreat dogs and cats. Animals are quick to show gratitude and you ought to be proud to be their protector. A gentle boy is almost sure to become a gentleman. Don’t fail to be careful when around autos or steam cars with the team. Leave plenty of space between you and them. Any chance taken merely to “show off” may mean serious damage or loss of life.

factory next door, and teachers at Maple Grove School, across the road, boarded with the Prusts. About 1940, Alfred and Margaret Franke bought the store, when their son, Allen “Toby” Franke, was five and his sister, Joanne, was three. The family lived in rooms behind the store and rented the upstairs to Smoky Bley, who worked in the cheese factory. Toby remembered “like yesterday” that his first-grade class was outside for recess when the cheese factory, which by then belonged to his parents, burned to the ground. Instead of rebuilding it, his dad tore out a wall of their living quarters to enlarge the store. When Toby and Joanne were quarantined for six weeks with scarlet fever, their aunt, May Jarman, built a miniature snowman on the ledge outside the bedroom window to entertain them. A few years later, John and Tessie Nippert bought the store and operated it for a number of years before selling it to William and Wilhelmina Reinhard’s son, Lawrence Reinhard, and his wife, Glenna. By the time Gloria Hardiman and her husband bought the building from the Reinhards in 1968, locals called it the “BS Store” because older men in the neighborhood loved to sit around the stove and tell tall tales. (There was even a sign on a nearby corner pointing to the BS Store.) The Hardimans spent five years turning the building into Maple Grove Gallery, where

Supporting Wotachek for District 9 Supervisor Laura Wotachek is a hardworking, passionate and honest mother, wife and student, which also makes her a great representative as Door County’s District 9 supervisor. I have known Laura for more than 10 years. We were introduced at Mary’s School of Dance, and I soon became the childcare provider to her two girls. Not to mention, she has played a huge role in my life. Laura knows how to multitask and prioritize, one of the many skills I adopted from her. Every time I visited her, she would inform me about her work with the county and the new ideas she wanted to implement. Laura is always so passionate about work and her projects, which were always successful. On top of all that, she was always passionate to further her education by taking classes and using her knowledge to start

programs such as Fairest of the Fair and the Youth Apprenticeship Program. An example of Laura’s exemplary characteristics is her kind heart. She donated a large portion to my church mission trip to Tijuana back in 2015. Prior to that and now, Laura has always assisted me with things I needed help with. She and her positive attitude gave me hope for my future and the future of the community. She was a great example of a moral person to inspire me during my teen years. As a resident in District 9, I truly believe she should keep her position. Because Laura is in the middle of several projects and is working to upgrade existing ones, I would hate to see her lose this progress. Knowing how hardworking, devoted and passionate Laura is about her friends, family, career and bettering the community, I know that she needs more time as District 9’s supervisor. She has my vote! Alysha Nelson Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin Schuessler Lauds Wotachek’s Economic-Development Work During my tenure as executive director for Door County Economic Development Corporation, I had an opportunity to work with a diverse group of elected officials. Many were selfless, missionoriented and high-quality public servants. This is important because without good elected officials, it is impossible for economic-development corporations to achieve their mission. One of those quality public officials is Laura Vlies Wotachek, who currently serves the constituents of District 9 on the Door County Board of Supervisors. When making a decision about whom to support for elected office, it is important to consider the action (or inaction) of incumbents to help enhance the quality of life for their constituents. This includes seeking opportunities to find new and creative ways to enhance the local economy. Laura saw an opportunity to expand the markets of Door County

businesses to growing markets in China, including the city of Jingdezhen. Although it is important that the sister-city program helps to increase cultural exchanges that can enhance better human understanding, from an economic-development perspective, the development of new markets for Door County businesses through the Collaborative Market Access Grant was visionary, and it offers great promise to help expand the world’s access to Door County-manufactured products. This grant, which was provided through the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation, helps bring tax dollars back home to Door County from Madison to the benefit of local businesses and the employees who are part of those companies. I encourage District 9 voters to support Laura in her bid for reelection. Her leadership is enhancing the local economy by helping take Door County products to the world. Jim Schuessler Former Executive Director Door County Economic Development Corporation Creating Confidence in Sturgeon Bay Recently I looked out a window and saw a city employee in a “cherry picker” working on the streetlight across the street. I wondered why as the light had not burned out. After reflecting on the professional backgrounds and knowledge of the Sturgeon Bay mayor and City Council members and the personal integrity and devotion to elected duty displayed at the City Council meetings I watch on TV, I decided that a more cost-efficient or ecofriendly method of street lighting was being installed by the man. It is gratifying to be a homeowner and taxpayer in such a well-run city as Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Thank you for creating confidence. Leonette Tackenberg Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin

Health Information Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791). Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune systems disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Environmental Protection Agency's safe drinking water hotline (800-426-4791).

Educational Information The sources of drinking water, both tap water and bottled water, include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity.

2019 CCR Report(1) -that Copy.htm[3/6/2020 11:34:40 AM] Contaminants may be present in source

water include:

Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally- occurring or result from urban stormwater runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining or farming. Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban stormwater runoff and residential uses. Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff and septic systems. Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water, which shall provide the same protection for public health.

SixthGraders’ Views on Climate Change

by ALISSA EHMKE alissa@ppulse.com

he line, “The houses we grow up in have ways of not only containing our childhoods but defining them: They’re the stages of our earliest, most primal memories, and from them we each derive our idiosyncratic conceptions of home” struck me the first time I read it. It’s from David McGlynn’s One Day You’ll Thank Me: Lessons from an Unexpected Fatherhood, and in a few words it reflected back to me all the responsibility I feel as a parent – the weight and greatness of it. Lines and lessons like this are scattered throughout McGlynn’s most recent work as he tells stories that illustrate how parenting missteps ultimately help lead to parenting adaptations. McGlynn – the 2020 nonfiction Hal Prize judge and Lawrence University English professor – found his way to writing nonfiction as a graduate student when he learned that writing about his life gave him a unique access to emotions, dialogue and memory. Here, McGlynn shares some of his thoughts on writing. To read the full Q&A, go to doorcountypulse.com.

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

Do you have apprehension when you’re sitting down to write about your family? Yeah, on the one hand you always do, because you recognize pretty quickly that you’re not just writing about yourself – you’re always writing about people that you’re close to, and the last thing you want to do – especially when it comes to your own children – is embarrass them or say something about other people so they think less of you or less of them, and in some ways the book kind of has that as a topic. If I come to a truth about some mistake I made, is this going to reflect badly on the entire family? Navigating that sort of becomes part of what the book is about. When you’re writing in the first person, how do you manage to not come across as self-centered or narcissistic? That’s a fair question. I try just to sound honest. There are a couple tricks that nonfiction writers can use to avoid sounding like they’re just narcissistic, and one is selfdeprecation. You’re aware of your own flaws and shortcomings, and I don’t think I would have written One Day You’ll Thank Me had I not had a pretty acute awareness of all the ways I was failing to live up to the task of a father. Even though a little of that, if I’m totally honest, is a little tonguein-cheek because I don’t think I was a bad father, but I thought that the things that kept happening were really funny. So self-deprecation becomes a kind of device that a writer can use to avoid that tone of self-congratulation or narcissism. And the other is plain honesty. I think that one of the reasons that narcissism bothers us is that it feels like a cover for something else. Something about it seems

disingenuous, and if you really tell a sort of whole and unvarnished truth about yourself, you can’t really avoid talking about those things that are harder and darker. So I find that when I write with all of the honesty I can muster, you don’t really end up in narcissistic territory – you end up in the genuine territory. What’s your writing routine? I learned pretty early as a writer that as much as I felt like writing was something I was good at, I wasn’t good enough at it that I could just jump in and do it whenever I wanted without having a schedule. I think it’s easily likened to training for a really difficult athletic event or a marathon. I think a marathon is an apt analogy in a lot of ways. No matter how good of a runner you are or [how much] natural ability you have as a runner, you can’t just go out and win the marathon by running without having the training. You have to go out and train. It gets a lot easier to train if you have a schedule so that it becomes predictable. What’s your writing space like? My writing life and my professional life and pretty much all of my adult

life has been co-terminus with having kids. I’ve never been able to write much at home; I’ve always had a very busy home. When I was in graduate school, I had this tiny, crappy apartment, so I didn’t have an office or room to write in. I’ve always gone to libraries, and to this day I go and I sit and I work at the library. I spend a lot of time sitting at the Lawrence library, tucked away in a back corner somewhere, just with my notebook or loose pieces of paper and a pen. I can elaborate a little bit more about the process. I really like to work by hand because I find that computers are distracting …. Moreover, there’s something about computers that seems to sit there and say, “Make me into something good.” It becomes so easy to sit there and evaluate yourself and to think, “Am I doing what I’m supposed to be doing? Is this the right word?” And I find that’s a real impediment for getting words on the page. I’m much better if I just sit there and not worry about how everything looks on the page, how it’s going to look when it’s all printed out and ready for publication. Everything I have ever published has been written longhand first – and not only once, but many, many times – and in the case of something like a book, I’ve written the whole thing by hand maybe six, seven, eight times – sometimes even more – because it’s how I make sure I’m really concentrating correctly.

rite On, Door County and Northern Sky Theater continue to inspire local students to write about nature through the SkyWriting program. Teaching artists from both organizations conduct writing workshops geared toward creating work that can be performed. Students brainstorm ideas, then work together and independently to write poems, stories or graphic novels – whichever genre they wish. A review committee will then select work to be set to music and performed at Northern Sky during the 2020 summer season. Last month, students in sixth, seventh and eighth grades at St. John Bosco Catholic School in Sturgeon Bay participated in the SkyWriting program. One of the activities is a group poem: Students are given a heading or title; then each student has one minute to write a line and pass the paper on to the next student. Although we’ve heard a lot recently about adults’ thoughts on climate change, here we’re sharing the perspectives of sixth-graders about what scares them about the climate and what makes them hopeful. Thinking about the climate makes me scared because … Something might happen to it one day. Sometimes it can get so cold that if you step outside, you freeze. Things might change to bad stuff. A big flood or natural disaster may destroy something I like. I hear about global warming, and I think the world’s going to end soon. There could be no school, or a really bad storm could come. Things changing is not always good and sometimes leads to destruction. It means I have to wait a whole year for the same kind of feeling. It might be so hot that you have to stay inside, or it could be so cold, too. It could be bad and dangerous. There could be an earthquake at any second. I think about the earth and the pollution. I wonder if we’ll survive. Thinking about the climate makes me hopeful because … Spring will be warmer and summer will be even warmer, and I like warm weather. There are many different things to do. Sometimes it could be warm, and I can go swimming. It could also be cold, and I could go sledding. It’s a mix of warm, cold, muggy, humid and freezing. It might get warmer, or colder for snow days. I get to go sledding down on Big Hill, and I could go sledding and build snowmen, or I could go snorkeling and find cool treasures. I love snow and warmth. I hope for good weather like a snowstorm. When summer comes, I love to play soccer, which is way better outside. Things might become better. I get to see more of nature’s mysteries.

(2) (1) Washington Island author Robert

Mazibuko has released a memoir called In Pursuit of Meaning to Riddles (dorrancepressroom.com or rosedogbookstore.com) in which he finds the patterns that run through his life. If the inner principle of one’s life is in contradiction to one’s outer behavior, the individual faces difficult life patterns that tend to create dire consequences. However, if one sincerely pursues adhering to inner principles and beliefs, the person can then easily answer, “This is what I attempted to do with all of the talents I have been granted to work with in my life.” Mazibuko’s book pursues a path of accounting for behavior by relating it to the associated principle of life and tracing such patterns insofar as they explain the inner principle or the deviation from it.

She has been a tireless advocate for refugees through her work in the Wisconsin State Refugee Oﬃce and through extensive volunteer efforts addressing the needs of the state’s Hmong community.

decades-long tradition that’s unique to Wisconsin will take place in every county in the state April 13, when citizens can take an active role in natural-resources management through the 2020 Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) spring fish and wildlife rules hearings and the county meetings of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress (WCC). Locally, they’ll begin at 7 pm in the high schools in Kewaunee and Sturgeon Bay. For the second year, there will also be an online option to vote on advisory questions. The link will go live when the meetings begin and remain open for 72 hours. As always, however, you’ll need to attend in person if you want to run for or vote for county delegates to the WCC, or submit or vote on citizen resolutions brought up that night. The State Conservation Commission (the predecessor of the Natural Resources Board) created the WCC in 1934 to provide Wisconsin citizens with a local avenue for input and exchange concerning conservation issues. Prior to 1937, the state Legislature established all fees, seasons, bag limits and regulations. In 1972, legislation legally recognized the WCC to ensure that citizens would have a liaison between the Natural Resources Board (NRB) and the DNR. This structure allows citizens to vote on proposals offered by the DNR, NRB or WCC, or submit their own. The results – although not legally binding – provide valuable insight for decision makers when considering rule changes. The WCC is an independent organization of citizens that serves in an advisory capacity to the NRB on all matters under the board’s jurisdiction. When former Gov. Scott Walker signed Act 21 in 2011, he and legislators created a much longer process for proposed rules to be enacted and opened the door for politicians to slide in changes without going through the WCC. In even-numbered years such as 2020, the hearings are basically opinion polls. In odd-numbered years, there are rules proposals. Many would like to see the WCC get its teeth back. If you’re interested in getting involved with the WCC or have questions, contact liaison Kari Lee-Zimmermann at Kari.

LeeZimmermann@wisconsin.gov or 608.266.0580. You can also check out this year’s questionnaire, learn how to submit a county resolution and find out where your hearing will be held at dnr. wi.gov/About/WCC/springhearing. html. Deer Meetings April 6, 8 The first County Deer Advisory Committee meetings of 2020 are set for April 6, 7 pm, at the Door County Government Building in Sturgeon Bay; and April 8, 7 pm, at the Muskrat City Sportsman’s Club north of Kewaunee. It’ll be interesting to see whether there’s some pushback on the number of free tags given this year, and whether there’s another bid to try to split Door County into a “north” and “south” management unit to better reflect differences in habitat and deer numbers. Want to contact your county representatives to learn more? Find out whom to contact, and see the 2019-20 deer hunting season data at dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/cdac.html. Outdoors Notebook • Many anglers pulled their ice shelters from the bay last weekend as mild temperatures and strong winds preceded Monday’s rain. Ice fishing shelters must be removed from Green Bay by March 15. Portable shelters may be used past the deadline; just remove them daily when they’re not in use. • March 15 is also the last day to keep yellow perch caught on the bay. There’s a two-month closure after that for the spring spawn. • Leftover wild turkey hunting permits will go on sale next week, including March 17 for Zone 2. See what’s available by zone and time period at dnr.wi.gov/permits/ springturkey.html. • Fishing licenses for 2019-20 will expire at the end of March, and new licenses are available. Learn more at gowild.wi.gov, or visit the Sturgeon Bay DNR Service Center. • Comments on the DNR’s proposed 2020-21 waterfowl hunting season structure will be accepted through midnight on March 13. One of the proposals would open the North Zone a week before the South Zone. Another would replace the Mississippi River Zone with an Open Water Lake

Michigan/Green Bay Zone. See the rest of the proposals and comment on them at dnr.wi.gov/topic/hunt/ waterfowl.html. Water-Levels Update As of March 6, Lake Michigan was 14 inches higher than last year and three inches above the previous record, set in 1986. Those numbers likely climbed this week, thanks to a big meltdown last weekend and Monday’s rain. Lake Michigan is expected to rise two to four inches by early April, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

LEARN ABOUT INVASIVE SPECIES, FISH TRACKING, NIGHT SKIES AT CROSSROADS Visit Crossroads at Big Creek on March 12, 7 pm, for the Wild Ones lecture “Alien Invaders – Not Welcome!” Kari Hagenow – The Nature Conservancy’s Door peninsula land steward and president of the Invasive Plants Association of Wisconsin – will discuss how invasive plant species steal space, water and other resources from our native habitats and create monocultures. The Fish Tales lecture series will continue March 19, 7 pm, with “Where Fish Wander in Green Bay: Tracking Movements of Walleye and Whitefish” by Dan Isermann of UW-Stevens Point. He will discuss how acoustic-telemetry technology enables him to track where walleye and lake whitefish fish spawn and move from southern Green Bay to Bay de Noc and even Lake Michigan. The Door Peninsula Astronomical Society (DPAS) will host a viewing night March 28, 7 pm. If the sky is clear, DPAS will point the 16-inch telescope at some of the early-spring sky objects, and the images can be seen live on the 80-inch ﬂat screen in the Stonecipher Center. When the sky becomes sufficiently dark, participants may borrow the viewing binoculars and telescopes, and members will be outside to help participants find constellations and planets. If the sky is overcast, programs will be presented in the inflatable planetarium. The Collins Learning Center, 2041 Michigan St. in Sturgeon Bay, is open weekdays, 10 am – 4 pm; weekends, 1-4 pm; and during scheduled activities.

Snowkiting: What You Need to Know

and the kiter to become immersed in the environment. It takes many factors to produce optimal conditions for snowkiting: The right wind, snow coverage and temperatures all dictate safe enjoyment. The side effect in seeking these conditions is that one’s perspective on weather becomes skewed – and perhaps for the better.

aking to inland lakes or the frozen bay in winter is an experience usually reserved for snowmobiling and ice fishing. However, there’s another way to experience the Hothian landscape. When snow is fresh and winds rise above 15 knots, the window of opportunity to snowkite opens. Similar to kitesurfing, snowkiting uses a kite to harness wind power and propel riders. The main difference between the two activities is that a wetsuit is swapped for a winter jacket and a kiteboard for a snowboard or skis. The kite itself is similar in design to a set of wings. Kites vary in style, but the most common ones have inflatable bladders that, when pumped, keep the sail rigid. They can be used on both land and water. When kitesurfing was being pioneered in the late 1990s, many of the kites were designed with two lines. Modern kites now have four lines that give the kiter the ability to “sheet,” which changes the angle of the kite and gives the rider improved control over wind power. Kiters harness into the kite through a “chicken loop” that descends from a control bar that they hold on to and use to steer. Because the rider is tethered to the kite, snowkiting is a high-risk sport that requires sufficient training. There is plenty of video evidence of the force of the wind putting kiters into tricky

situations and overpowering their ability to maintain control. Kites range from five to 18 square meters in size, so with wind variations, a session can quickly go from being fun to scary. For this reason, it’s highly advisable to learn kite handling from an experienced kiter before trying it alone. With experience, snowkiting can be both physical and meditative. Wind power allows kiters to move across the snow at incredible speeds, and they can send themselves into the air with a simple adjustment of the kite. Although it’s best to ride with others for safety, once moving, snowkiting tends to be a rather solitary activity. The horizon is unobstructed, and the sound of a motor is nonexistent. That’s when things can go on autopilot, allowing the stress of navigating to fall away

Local Music Recommendation: Stephen Cooper & The Nobody Famous

MUSIC

by SOLOMON LINDENBERG intern@peninsulafilmworks.com

fter the departure of Stephen Cooper’s fellow singer and songwriting partner, Ruby James, from WiFEE and the HUZz BAND, Cooper sought to capture the same huge sound and danceability in his newest project, Stephen Cooper & The Nobody Famous. Digging into this album, I quickly discovered that the quality of musicianship and composition it features is almost unseen in northeast Wisconsin. Similar to the style that Cooper’s developed over 25 years, he finds a great

balance between mimicking exactly the music that inspired him and adding eccentricity, without being unrelatable to listeners. He includes many aspects that are authentic to music from the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s, but he manages to keep it appealing to all ages by employing universal themes in his lyricism, such as love, breakups and the power of dance. If I had to describe this album in a single word, I would say “lively.” It’s not music I’d listen to if I were trying to relax or calm down; it’s more the type of music to jam out to in the car or serve as a soundtrack for a bedroom dance party.

It’s often dynamically and melodically unpredictable, which is in part why it’s so exciting. This musical eccentricity is evidenced in “It’s You,” in which the guitar opens the track with gentle, innocent waltz-style arpeggios, only to be pleasantly punctuated by the rest of the band in a series of punch-in-the-face-style hits. Although listening to this album through headphones isn’t nearly as exciting as seeing Stephen Cooper & The Nobody Famous live, it does a great job of replicating the energy of a live performance by offering a distinct variation in the mix and staying relatively light on vocal and instrumental effects.

It’s hard not to be enthralled by Cooper’s vibrato-heavy, soulful and dextrous vocals on this record. And it’s easy to see how much his vocal and musical inflections are inspired by Motown and R&B greats such as Al Green, Otis Redding and Stevie Wonder. He proves his ability to seamlessly transition from a percussive and wobbly modulation in a track such as “Three Shades of Black” to a more legato style that’s fitting for a track such as “I Love You More Than You’ll Ever Know.” The only thing as evident as the emotion in his voice is the emotion in his saxophone playing. Cooper has incredible range for a tenor player, and his licks and style

Yomassage: A New Way to Relax by CELESTE BENZSCHAWEL celeste@ppulse.com

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

hough this winter has been fairly tame, it’s still the time of year when bones get stiff and limbs haven’t truly been stretched in months (if you’re like me, that is). That’s why, when I heard about “yomassage,” I had to try it – and figure out what it was. So I gathered two of my coworkers, and off we went for a session at Saguaro Day Spa & Wellness Center in Sturgeon Bay. Along with offerings including pedicures, massages, fassages and cupping, the spa started offering yomassages – a combination of yoga and gentle massage – in November. Yomassage is a group-based session during which participants, each on their own mat, enter easy, seated or lying yoga poses assisted by blocks, blankets and pillows. After entering a pose, the instructor goes around to each person to gently massage target areas of the body. Stretching into yoga poses before the massage is meant to open up the body and Milewicz felt that a make those target areas group-based yoga-andmore accessible. massage experience was a Melissa Milewicz, who way to make either activity led our session, is the person feel more accessible to those who introduced the idea to the Melissa Milewicz who are new to the practices or spa. She’s originally from New more comfortable and confident York, but she’s made her home in in group settings. Right now the session can Sturgeon Bay for the past four years. She accommodate up to five people, but the spa also specializes in other services such is looking to expand that to a group of eight as Thai massage, cupping, stones and to 10. aromatherapy.

Milewicz was also noticing that her kids spend lots of time on their phones or tablets, even when they’re in the same room together. She figured that an activity such as yomassage would encourage more of a team-building spirit and a chance to escape from the pull of electronic devices. The same idea applies to businesses that are placing more emphasis on employee wellness, and yomassage is a great workplace team-building experience,

especially for anyone who must hunch over a lot or be seated at a desk constantly. “Every individual is going to take something different away from that experience,” Milewicz said, “but the fact that you’re experiencing that together gives you that common, shared bond, and hopefully [it] reinforces that ability throughout the day for you guys to look at each other and say, ‘Maybe it’s time to do a little bit of a stretch for our shoulders’ or something like that.” That was very fitting for my little coworker group: We were excited to wear our comfy clothes to work and relax away from our desks during the hour-long session. We joined Milewicz in the lower lounge of the spa, where we sat on our mats in front of a warm fireplace, surrounded by large windows with views of the property. Relaxing music filled the room. With a soft voice, Milewicz explained and demonstrated how to get into each position. I felt a little clumsy trying to arrange the pillows and blankets during each position change, but once I’d gotten into each position, it was easy to relax. We practiced our breathing, and I almost lulled myself to sleep throughout most of the session. When it was my turn to receive a massage, I secretly willed Milewicz to forget about the other two and focus just on me – it felt that great. But of course she gave us all equal massage time, using hand sanitizer in between people. We changed positions about four times and ended with a meditation. Before we knew it, the session

JODI PICOULT

resemble the chops of Saturday Night Live bandleader and former Tower of Power saxophonist Lenny Pickett. Cooper exhibits this toward the end of his Fats Dominoesque track “Don’t You Dare Say Goodbye.” On this album, Cooper’s 13-piece band complements his singing and playing perfectly. The horns are arranged to be conversational with Cooper’s melodies, often playing long tones in the background to bring out the vocals and emphasize harmony tones, and at other times, playing their own melodies in response to the vocal parts. The characteristics of these horn arrangements are on display in the album’s title track, “My One and Only.” What Cooper and his band sacrifice in conforming to Motown and R&B musical dogma, they make up for with the inventiveness of their soloing. On “Breaking Up Somebody’s Home,” a few of the band members demonstrate their improvisational prowess with a trilogy of virtuosic solos. I wasn’t sure whether the quality of the Cooper’s songwriting and arranging would diminish after WiFEE and the HUZz BAND disbanded, but after listening to this album, I can say that Stephen Cooper & The Nobody Famous is equally – if not more – exciting, fun and dance-eliciting as Cooper’s past projects. This album is definitely worth a listen and maybe a few dance moves, and I hope it grows in popularity to the point where the band name and album title no longer make sense.

PENINSULA PULSE MARCH 13–20/2020 • v26i11 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM

oor County Brewing Co. will host a new storytelling event this weekend – a pilot in what it hopes will become a regular series. The theme is Tales of the Trade, and storytellers may share their most embarrassing, funny or shocking stories about their experiences in the workplace. This event offers an opportunity to band together and bond with the people who serve in the industries that make up such a large part of the Door County identity. To learn more about why the Door County Brewing Co. and Write On, Door County wanted to collaborate on this project, we asked Angie McMahon, general manager of the taproom, a few questions. Celeste Benzschawel (CB): This is a pilot in what you hope will become a regular storytelling series. Where did

the idea come from, and why does the brewing company want to start doing it? Angie McMahon (AM): I love real stories told by the people who experienced them. Being around a group of people who are telling any kind of interesting story can be a kind of therapy. Laughter, crying and just being absorbed in the moment are not things that happen in this day and age of social media. It takes us away in a sense, and it increases empathy toward our fellow human beings when we share parts of our lives. CB: You had an earlier storytelling event called Mortified. How did that one go? AM: Our event Mortified didn’t do well. On our own, it was just hard to gather people willing to put themselves out there. When Lauren Bremer from Write On, Door County reached out to me, I knew this

CB: Why did you choose Tales of the Trade for the theme? Do you plan to have different themes going forward? Any you’d care to share? AM: Write On, Door County came up with the theme. What better theme than a Tales of the Trade storytelling event in March? Assuming and hoping we do have more of these events, I would love to revisit Mortified. The theme here is reading from your middle school/high school journals. There’s real gold there.

CB: What do you hope these events will do for the community? AM: I hope they will make us laugh and think; let us see insecurity, strength, hilarity and humbleness coming directly from people we know; and open our own minds that we’re all okay and in this together. Ultimately a damned good time – all of us together. Tales of the Trade will take place March 14, 7 pm, at the Door County Brewing Co. taproom in Baileys Harbor. Dan Klarer, part of the Door County theater scene, will host; and Marcus Trana and Nick Orlock will provide live music between stories. Ten to 12 storytellers will have up to 10 minutes to share a story.

CB: Do people have to sign up prior to attending, or is it first-come, first-served for storytelling? AM: We have people who have already signed up, but we have also purposely left a few openings for anyone in the audience who is inspired to share.

Third Avenue Playhouse’s production of David Mamet’s A Life in the Theatre will run March 26 – April 26, with a pay-what-you-can preview performance March 25, 7:30 pm. Directed by Robert Boles and featuring Doug Mancheski as Robert and Christian Davis Aldridge as John, A Life in the Theatre has been called a “love letter” to the theater. Mamet tells the story of passing the theatrical torch from one generation to the next using the ﬂuctuating relationship between two actors in a repertory company – one older (Robert) and one younger (John). Through 26 intermingled onstage and offstage scenes, they spar and critique each other’s performances. The audience becomes a fly on the dressing-room wall, eavesdropping on the actors’ conversations, and getting a from-the-wings look at pieces of their performances. Performances are Thursday – Saturday, 7:30 pm; and Sunday, 2 pm. An additional performance will be held April 22, 7:30 pm; and there will be no performance April 12. Purchase tickets ($32 per person) at thirdavenueplayhouse.com, by phone at 920.743.1760, or in person at the box office in Sturgeon Bay.

(3) Peninsula Players Theatre presented a reading of Joseph Zettelmaier’s Haunted: The Great Lakes Ghost Project on March 2 to a capacity crowd at Björklunden. This collection of ghostly tales from around the Great Lakes region captivated the audience. Several years ago, Zettelmaier, a Michigan-based playwright, began a journey across the Great Lakes states to collect stories of true, otherworldly encounters by Midwesterners from Indiana to Wisconsin and wove these tales of the supernatural into a theatrical piece that asks, “Do you believe in ghosts?”

(4) The Peninsula Music Festival has received a generous contribution to its Thor Johnson Endowment Trust from the estate of longtime Peninsula Music Festival patron and supporter George Verheyden. The gift’s mission is to provide sustaining funds for this established educational initiative, which will now be called the George Verheyden Memorial Scholarship. It is given each spring to a graduating senior who resides in Door County, demonstrates great ability as a performer, shows dedication and a sustained interest in music-related activities, and wishes to further her or his musical studies by pursuing an undergraduate major or minor in music. Verheyden was generous with his family, friends and favorite charities, which included the Moravian Church, Peninsula School of Art, The Clearing, the Moravian Camp Morris and the Peninsula Music Festival. Midsummer’s Music welcomes two new board members to three-year terms. Board members typically exhibit a special, continued dedication to the organization. In her youth, Ann Morgan was a Door County summer resident, and she and her husband, Mike, continued to visit while raising their family in New Glarus. They moved to Egg Harbor full time following her 2017 retirement. She holds an MBA in accounting from UW-Madison and spent her career working primarily in finance and accounting for manufacturing companies. Tyler Powell lives in Sturgeon Bay with his wife, Kori; and their daughter, Norah, and has been a county resident for four years. He grew up in Janesville, Wisconsin, and grew to love Door County when his family moved to Sturgeon Bay as he began college. He had a double major in economics and political science at Luther College and earned a JD in 2013 from the William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. He serves as the executive director of the YMCA Northern Door Program Center. Midsummer’s Music thanks the board members whose terms recently expired for their dedication and support: Gerri Friedberg, Carole Kraemer, John Stitt, Judy Widen and Carl Zapffe.

Growing Grapes and Making Wine in Door County When a grape is slightly underripe, you get a more aromatic component and a nice, crisp backbone to that wine, which gives it great aging potential and food-pairing potential. My philosophy is really to let the grape be itself as a wine. You can’t take a Marquette grape and make a wine that’s a deep, bold cabernet, but you can make an incredibly aromatic La Crescent that’s slightly underripe because of the cool climate it grows in, and that cannot be duplicated in California or in any other part of the world. Rather than try to mimic another part, we are just trying to say, this is what we grow; this is what it smells like, tastes like; and let it shine.

How did Door 44 begin? I like to say it goes back to our honeymoon. Maria and I were in Napa Valley back in ’94, and we were at the Coppola Vineyard Winery. We were in law school, so we couldn’t afford the really expensive wine, but we found an inexpensive bottle of wine in the tasting room, grabbed a baguette and walked out in the vineyard and looked up at the sky and thought, why not Wisconsin? We didn’t really know what we were getting into at the time, but it was something we felt compelled to do. About a decade later, we had our first vineyard and winery, and here we are 13 years later – we have this new location for Door 44. So the wine industry was something new to you? We have a little bit of wine in our blood. Her father came from Italy, and he and his friends would get together in his garage and make wine. And my father grew grapes in the backyard and would make wine, too, which we would have for family celebrations. We kind of understood the process, but we didn’t have any of the technical skill that you typically associate with starting a vineyard and winery. The more people heard me talk about it, the more it sounded crazy to them. That just fueled my fire. I think there is great potential for this area. At the time, we didn’t know much about grape growing or winemaking, but as we studied it more and more, we realized the unlimited potential. What are some of the challenges with wine in Door County specifically and Wisconsin in general? The irony of it is, when people think of Wisconsin, they think of beer. They think of cold weather. Wine is not something that comes to your mind, but people are surprised to learn that from April to October, this line of latitude here around the 45th parallel has identical weather

conditions as Bordeaux or Tuscany, which has the premium wineries of the world. So if you can plant varietals that survive the winter, you have the perfect, world-class ingredients here for wine country. Part of the irony in this also is that there is a Wisconsin dairy farmer by the name of Elmer Swanson who is primarily responsible for any type of viticulture in the upper Midwest. He discovered that if you found the right varietals, [these were] the perfect conditions for grape growing, and through his work – basically grape breeding local wild-grape pollen with worldclass varietals that we are all familiar with, like cabernet, chardonnay, merlot – we ended up with the varietals that are now being planted in this part of the world. Tell me about the first few years. This is the perfect example of “ignorance is bliss” because if we knew of every challenge that was going to cross our path, we would have thought, maybe there’s a better venture to get into. But as we’ve done this, we’ve learned a great amount, and the thing about grape growing and winemaking is that you never stop learning. That’s part of what drives us: Every day there’s this opportunity to keep learning about what we’re doing, and that by nature inspires me to do this more. That’s part of the fun of this. It’s part art, part science, part intuition and a lot of sharing of information. The more growers, the more winemakers we can get to this part of the world, the faster the reputation of this area will grow.

Your wines only use grapes grown here in Wisconsin, correct? Yeah, I guess I’m kind of a purist. To me, wine is the ultimate regional product. Wine is so expressive of the soil and climate that [the grapes are] grown in, and I always like to say that because we are both growing and making wine, you really don’t make wine as much as you grow wine. So to continue that philosophy, to acknowledge the fact that almost every wine store is set up in a regional dimension – that just brings home the point that wine is one of the products that you have to demonstrate to people its uniqueness based on the area [where] wine is grown and made. I know it’s a lot more work to do it this way; it’s more expensive to do it this way. And what I say to many people is, I love the tourism of this area and the attention it brings to us, but my goal is to have these types of wines available to people who don’t intend to go to Door County. Tell me about the wine that you make. Now that we have done this for 13 years, we have learned what varietals give us the most expressive types of wines, whether it’s an aromatic expression or the crispness that we’re looking for, so what we have really focused on is finding the right varietal for the particular situation that we’re in. So being near the lake here, we’re looking for varietals that can ripen a little bit quicker, and we tend to make a wine that is more expressive in terms of aromatics.

You’re a big advocate for the wine community here. Tell me about the community that’s here, and what is it like to be a part of it? It’s great because we all have a different dimension and look to our business model, but in the end, as with any other wine region, what you’re trying to offer people is a regionally distinctive product and an environment and an experience that are something that people can remember – because in the end, you can go to the grocery store and get a decent bottle of wine for a good price. But as a winery, you’re trying to create an experience that people connect to you, and that can be anything from the conversation you have at the tasting bar, the setting that you’re enjoying the wine in, to the food you’re having it with. So I think each one of us, as wineries here in Door County, have a different offering to give to people. To take the Door County Wine Trail – which we are on – is really a great experience to get that full spectrum of what we have. In the end, it is just fermented grape juice, but it tends to be a product you enjoy more than just as a beverage.

My friends say that they can loan me the money, but I don’t feel comfortable with that. I also need to spend that week working. They are generous to offer to help, but they don’t seem to understand that every penny counts in me getting through school. How can I get my point across? Signed, Budget Betty Dear Budget Betty, Just be direct: It would be great if you could go on the trip, but not if it’s going to cause financial pressure. Your friends will hopefully see that. It’s not easy to stick to a budget, but it’s very wise of you to do so. The less money you owe by the time you graduate, the better off you’ll be in the short run and in the long run. Good luck, Mary Pat Miss Pat was educated at the Finnish Finishing School for Fine Ladies. Eloquent in edifying etiquette, she is ﬂuent in seven languages including the language of love. Mary Pat has generously extended her counsel to you and will answer any and all inquiries. Email Mary Pat at manners@ppulse.com.

That’s hard, but I think staying home and playing with my dog. If you had to pick a spirit animal for yourself, what would you choose? I’ve never thought of that. I would say a dog – probably a yorkie. You can also catch Selena at the Nightingale Supper Club in Sturgeon Bay. Stop by either place to say hello!
