you magazine staff
Welcome back, iced coffee. Iced coffee, I’ve missed you. It may be a little trivial in comparison to the true metamorphosis of the season, but one of my favorite signs of spring is the return of iced coffee. When I start seeing people on the street with clear plastic cups – or earth-friendly reusable mugs – filled to the brim with ice, then doused with creamy, caffeinated goodness, I get about as excited as when I spot my first robin of the year. When the weather finally calls for a refreshing beverage, in my mind spring has truly arrived. Of course, there are so many other things to love about the season upon us. Farmers markets, outdoor music, brunch alfresco and ensembles with an emphasis on ease are all worthy of celebration. This year in particular, I’m falling hard for the blithe bohemian looks that seem to be every fashion lover’s latest infatuation. In Spring Becomes Her (pg. 14) fashion contributor Kirsty Gungor scoured local boutiques and put together three ultra-romantic outfits that evoke the breezy romance of spring, then topped them off with flower crowns just because. Whether you’re a true bohemian at heart, or you just like partaking in the trend as a style tourist, I think you’ll find a lot to love in this issue. This month I got the pleasure of meeting Stacie Hackl, executive director of the Breast Cancer Family Foundation (BCFF). What I love about Stacie is how she lets her passions guide every part of her life. As a devoted wife and mother of two, her passion for family led her to a career in insurance that allowed her the flexibility to be at home when her children were young. After beating breast cancer and as her children got older, Stacie was inspired to educate the community so she accepted her current position with BCFF. Stacie is a third generation breast cancer survivor – both her mother and grandmother have beat breast cancer as well. On May 8, the three women walked the runway in this year’s Monte Carlo-themed Prevea Runway for Life which featured cancer survivors modeling the latest fashions from local boutiques. To make the experience even more profound, BCFF was the beneficiary of this year’s fundraiser. This is huge for Stacie, the foundation and for everyone who depends on the good work BCFF does in the community, which is pretty much all of us. Read more about BCFF and Stacie’s story in Recovery to Runway (pg. 8). So kick back, relax and take a look. My only request is that you enjoy this issue out on a patio somewhere, iced coffee in hand.

A creamy, whipped filling encased by spongy, golden cake – what else could it be?
Love them or hate them, at one time or another almost everyone has savored the so-bad-it’s-good aspect of the Twinkie. But sit in on one of Stacie Hackl’s cancer awareness presentations and you might see these prepackaged morsels in a whole new way. Hackl is the executive director of the Breast Cancer Family Foundation (BCFF) which works to inspire students in Northeast Wisconsin to lead cancer-free, healthy lifestyles. One way this mission is accomplished is through cancer awareness and prevention presentations that Hackl and her team of two educators give to local schools. These educational programs discuss all forms of cancer, emphasizing awareness, early detection methods and healthy lifestyle behaviors that can reduce the risk of developing cancer later in life. Today Hackl stands before a room of nearly 30 Wrightstown high school students and presents them with what appears to be a Twinkie. She holds it up above her head so everyone can make a clear assessment of the snack cake on display. She then lowers the treat just inches from the desk in front of her before ever so gently tapping it against the hard surface. It sounds more like she is tapping the desk with her cellphone, not a delicious piece of cake. It quickly becomes clear that this Twinkie is as hard as a rock. The looks she gets from the students transition from amusement, to awe and finally, disgust.
“That’s not real!” someone from the back of the room yells. “It’s plastic!” “Oh, it’s real,” Hackl assures them. “It’s just two years old.” Hackl uses this petrified Twinkie (without a stitch of mold) as a powerful illustration that the foods we consume affect our health in profound ways, including when it comes to our cancer risk. “There’s never a guarantee, but you can definitely reduce your risk,” Hackl says, “especially now that obesity has just passed up smoking as the number one cause of cancer.”

Staying Strong, Moving On
Hackl’s passion for educating the community is personal, having been diagnosed with breast cancer herself in 2008. When she was diagnosed, Hackl was busy running her own insurance agency and raising two active teenagers. Cancer was the furthest thing from her mind. Just days before her 40th birthday, Hackl went in for a routine mammogram. “I didn’t think twice about it,” she recalls. “I didn’t even tell my husband I was having it done. I was a healthy person, so when the doctor wanted to take another look, I thought ‘This is taking too long.’” Hackl had begun getting mammograms at age 35 because breast cancer runs in her family. Her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2001 and her grandma would eventually be diagnosed with it as well. When the doctors compared Hackl’s first mammogram with her new one, they noticed a small speck in her breast that required further investigation with a biopsy. “They thought it was probably nothing, but they wanted to check anyway,” Hackl says. “It ended up being cancer. They told me if I wouldn’t have had the first one done, they wouldn’t have even questioned the area.” The news came as a shock, but Hackl knew she had to have faith in order to proceed with treatment. “We lose amazing people to cancer, but you have to have hope and know that you can beat it,” she says. “It’s a lot in your head. You have to stay positive and on top of it.” Hackl underwent a lumpectomy shortly after her diagnosis. What the doctors discovered surprised everyone – the tissue removed was cancer-free. “My cancer was so tiny that they got it all out with the needle when they did the biopsy, thanks to the mammogram,” Hackl says. Hackl’s oncologists determined that radiation or chemotherapy wasn’t necessary so they prescribed the hormone therapy drug tamoxifen which Hackl took for the next five
10 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | MAY 2014
years. During that time, Hackl’s son, Luke, and daughter, Katie, were both finishing high school and heading off to college. Now that she was regaining her health, Hackl was ready to take on a new challenge so she sold her insurance business. “Insurance was good to me because that’s how I got to stay home with my kids. I didn’t miss a thing,” she says. “My family is the most important thing to me, but when you turn into an empty nester, it was an opportunity for me to do something that I’m really passionate about.” Given her personal experience, Hackl and her husband of 23 years, Mark, were looking for a cancer-relat-
ed foundation to support when they came across BCFF. (Fun fact: Mark and Stacie are high school sweethearts. They began dating when Stacie was 15!) Neither of them had ever heard of the foundation before, but Mark noticed they were looking for an executive director. “I read the description of the job and if I could create a job, this would be it,” says Hackl, who is also a registered nurse and went to school for teaching. “It all comes together. I can use my teaching education and nursing skills, as well as my background in running a business.” Hackl applied and accepted the position as BCFF’s executive director in January 2012. When she isn’t giving presentations in the community, she is planning the foundation’s signature events such as the Titletown Bike Tour in July and Pink Pumpkin Walk in October. From gathering sponsors to organizing committee members, Hackl loves the variety in her job. “I never feel like I’m coming to work. Sometimes I look down and it’s like ‘Oh my gosh, it’s 5:30!’” she says. “I enjoy all the people, from the staff to our board and all the donors and people in the community. I love working with all the people especially because it is always different. It’s never the same.”
Family, Faith & Fashion
The survivor gene is strong in Hackl’s family. On May 8, Hackl strutted her stuff during the Prevea Runway for Life fashion show along with her 67-year-old mother and 92-year-old grandmother, both fellow breast cancer survivors. The threesome modeled fashions from Beth’s Boutique in Suamico. Hackl and her mother, Sharon Hasser, have modeled in the event previously, but this year was significant because they celebrated three generations of cancer survivorship with the addition of grandma Eileen Schwartz. Not only that, but BCFF was named the beneficiary of this year’s Prevea Runway for Life. Beginning this year, a different local cancer-related charity will be named as the beneficiary of the event.

<<< spotlight continued from page 11 President and CEO of Prevea Dr. Ashok Rai says BCFF was chosen this year because the foundation’s mission closely aligns with Prevea’s and it has a great impact on residents of Northeast Wisconsin. “Our number one goal for Runway for Life is for everyone who is diagnosed with cancer to be a survivor. To do that we need education, early detection, screening and research,” Dr. Rai says. “[BCFF’s] mission of educating the community is so important and one that Prevea is also dedicated to. By funding them, we know we will increase cancer survivorship dramatically.” While the financial boost will be a major benefit, Hackl is most excited about the visibility the event brings to the foundation. “The money is going to be fabulous, but what fires me up is the community learning who we are and what we do,” Hackl says. “Just having that support from a place like Prevea saying this is a legit, great organization is pretty cool.”

Dr. Rai says. “It shows the dedication this community has to cancer prevention.” Prevea Runway for Life was something of a capstone for Hackl. At six years cancer-free, it was an opportunity to celebrate her health and that of her family, as well as ref lect on the road that got her there. “My faith mantra: having faith means believing in what you cannot see—the reward of having faith is seeing what you believe,” Hackl says. “This along with my family and friends got me through my cancer journey.” MAY 2014 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | 13

Or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ultimate magpie, one whose overf lowing jewelry collection impresses your friends with its glitter and shine. If your clothing and footwear are often beaded, fringed or embroidered in some way or fashion and your favorite dresses have an artful swish and sway. And finally, any bohemian lover is happy to wear a crown of f lowers on her head, without a reason in the world to do so besides the simple fact that it looks and feels beautiful.

An Outdoor Affair The latest trends in outdoor living make entertaining your guests a breeze By Meghan Diemel
After what seems like two of the worst winters in recent Wisconsin memory, all anyone can think about is being outdoors. 18 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | MAY 2014
Nothing could be better than entertaining outside and enjoying a warm summer night in the comfort of your backyard. As the interest in outdoor entertaining grows for consumers, the landscaping industry is responding with amazing options for great nights in the great outdoors. “We are seeing a ton of interest in the ‘outdoor living’ aspect of landscaping,” explains Sam Durkee, an owner and designer at Lizer Landscape and Nursery in Green Bay. “The bar and grilling areas are very popular. Typically we try to incorporate
Dining alfresco the grilling or kitchen area with an island that four to six people can sit around. “As you know, the kitchen is always a place for gathering, and we are basically bringing this concept outdoors,” he furthers. “It makes a very nice place for families to gather and have an informal meal and unwind from the day. Most of our outdoor kitchens include a grilling station, refrigerator and a sink.” Likewise, Rich Malone, landscape department manager and designer at Green Bay Nursery and Landscape, says fire tables have established their place in outdoor living areas. They come in versions that vary from sleek and modern to more rustic options. “They’re really great for when everybody pulls a chair up around it for the after-dinner drink and nice conversation,” he explains.
– sans the creepy-crawlies!
Patio heaters and pergolas are also popular – both help increase the patio area’s duration of use. Pergolas provide the much needed shade to make the space usable throughout the day, explains Durkee. Patio heaters help people get outside sooner in the spring and stay out longer in the fall, says Malone.
If your plan is to spend a lot of time cooking and entertaining outside this summer, incorporate the following plants and f lowers into your landscaping and table décor.
Marigold: “If you’ve ever seen the bright yellow, orangey f lowers, they look so welcoming – then you take a whiff and they’re so potent,” says Rich Malone. “It’s not exact science, but the thought is the strong fragrance masks whatever attracts insects to people.”
Another area that has seen marked improvements for outdoor living is LED lighting, furthers Malone. “You can park them all over the place, like underneath seat wall caps, off the rafters of a pergola to the soffit of a house, so you can set the stage for a more dramatic lighting environment,” he says.
Ageratum: Explains Malone, ageratum is going to have a blue to light pink f lower with an effective fragrance. He states that lavender and cat nip, along with herbs like basil
Susan Allshouse, nursery manager at Lizer Landscaping, says there a variety of tried-and-true plants and f lowers than can also enhance the outdoor entertaining areas.

your home <<< outdoor entertaining continued from page 19 “This season we are bringing in some hydrangea and lilac varieties that so far have proven to be winners,” she says. “We are also going to revisit some of the conef lower varieties that came out a few seasons ago and did not do well in the first couple of seasons. Our focus is to make sure our client has the right plant for the right place and adds beauty and value to their design.” “I am a huge fan of multi-stem serviceberries,” adds Durkee. “The autumn brilliance serviceberry is probably my favorite of the
serviceberries. It provides a showy spring display, attracts wildlife with its berries, and does have excellent fall color. Adding LED up-lighting makes this a showstopper year around.” In addition to incorporating the latest trends for outdoor living spaces, be sure you think about the many ways the total space can be used. It’s important to take that into consideration when planning for furniture and other accessories. “It’s about creating multiple zones of activity so it can still feel very quaint with the seat walls, the bars, and the pergola over the top; [the family] can make intimate rooms out of it, but you have the space for multiple activities,” advises Malone.

How to freshen your denim for summer
I am a huge fan of the laidback, beachy bleached denim trend – those cool blues that fade to a pale white for summer. So I’ve lost no time experimenting on several pairs of unworn, long neglected jeans and have discovered that while an entire white out (or even a tie dye) can be fun, my absolute favorite bleaching technique is found in the simple process of dip dying. An irresistible ombre denim is a beautiful and surprisingly easy look to achieve.
All you’ll need are a few household items, a pair of old jeans or a few comfy denim pieces you’ve picked up at your local thrift shop, and you’re halfway there. Here are a few simple instructions on how to make it happen.
Supplies:
- Denim of choice. For this DIY I selected three pieces. A denim dress, cut from its original longer length, a denim jacket (both thrifted) and a pair of full length jeans that I cut into shorts. - Clorox Bleach - Gloves - Ruler or skirt hanger - Bucket or deep sink

your style <<< DIY DENIM continued from page 25
Directions for dip dying:
1. Grab your denim! I suggest starting with a pair of
shorts, perhaps even an old pair of “blah” jeans that you can freshen up for summer, cut to your desired length. Just be sure to use a sharp scissors.
2. Pop on a pair of gloves to protect your skin. 3. Mix two parts water to one part bleach to create your bleach solution.
4. If you’re working with a bucket, try threading a ruler through the belt loops of your shorts to suspend them over the bucket while dipping just the ends. If you’re using a sink, try hanging them from the faucet on a skirt hanger (folded over at the waistband to shorten the length if need be).
5. Dip the shorts into the bleach solution, immersing to the length you desire. You’ll notice that the bleach will bleed slightly so try to leave an additional inch out of the solution. Soak your denim for approximately 30 minutes or longer, depending on how dark the original color is.
Look 1:
Dress: St Vincent De Paul (cut from full length) Slip: Anthropologie Sandals: Lady Savannah Scarf: Vintage
Look 2:
Blouse: J. Crew Shorts: Forever 21 (cut from full length) Heels: Target Hat: H&M
Look 3:
Jacket: St Vincent De Paul Dress: hey daisy!
26 | www.greenbaypressgazette.com/you | MAY 2014
6. Once the bleach has whitened your shorts to the shade you like best, remove them from the solution, wringing them out carefully (grab those gloves) and finally hanging them to dry.
7. Wash and dry your newly bleached denim alone for that
first time and then they’ll be safe to include in regular loads for future washes.
Fun Tricks and Helpful Hints:
If you’re going for an ombre look, simply repeat steps 5 - 7, lowering your denim just a little more into the solution while cutting the bleach time to ensure a less faded color. Repeat again for a third shade of blue, again cutting the bleach time and eventually creating just a slightly lighter blue shade from your original color, one that will fade out effortlessly into a stark and clean white. If you desire an entire white out, as I did with the denim
jacket, place the entire piece into the bleach immersing it completely. Here’s the best part, if you’re less than impressed with your attempt at this DIY fashion statement, don’t worry! You can repeat this process a couple of times, creating a color and fade that you’re most happy with.

Pay It Forward at Ava’s Closet •
Customers at Ava’s Closet, a gently-used children’s clothing and maternity boutique in Green Bay, have the opportunity to share the wealth through a new initiative called the Pay It Forward program. In March, owner Sarah McCoy launched Pay It Forward which allows customers selling their gentlyused kid’s and maternity wear to apply their payout to a community store credit. At the end of each month, the total credit is donated to a local charity in order to help a family in need. McCoy’s personal experience was the impetus of the program. “I was a single mom before, so I know how hard it is,” she says. “This is my chance to give back for all those people and programs that helped me when I was struggling.” During the month of March, McCoy raised more than $100 for House of Hope, a local shelter for homeless pregnant and parenting young women ages 18-24. The funds allowed a young mother with her second child on the way to shop for free. She was able to purchase maternity clothes, summer clothes for her child and items for her new baby. McCoy says some customers learn about the program and want to donate out-of-pocket cash to the cause. “I feel like everyone has been in the situation where they needed help,” McCoy says. “If everyone could help and do a little more it would make the world a better place.” Visit Ava’s Closet on Facebook or stop in TuesdayFriday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
