For many gardeners in our area, the biggest challenge when it comes to creating a rich, colorful landscape is gardening in shade. Thankfully, there are a number of plants that do exceptionally well in full to part shade.

Designing a shade garden is exciting and fun once you become familiar with the plants that do well there. Working with a variety of plants that feature colorful foliage, blooms, growth forms and more, you can create a landscape as beautiful as any in full sun.

In fact, many of the plants we think of normally as requiring full sun will actually do quite well in part shade.

There are even a large variety of landscape choices for the deepest, darkest parts of your garden.

You can even create a breathtaking shade containers that provide stunning beauty the whole season long.

Here are some of my favorite plants for garden in the shade. Mix and match to create spectacular combinations that burst with color.

COLEUS The king of shade annuals, coleus features hundreds of varieties that may be bold and striking or subtle and subdued. From giant, shocking Kong coleus to smaller, feathery and trailing varieties, there is a coleus for any shade garden situation. Gross equally well and containers or planted in the garden.

BLOODLEAF Blood leaf is a stunning, tall, coleus-like plant that features beautiful deep purple foliage along with shocking neon pink or red veins. There is also a variety available with green foliage and yellow veins. Another great choice for shade containers, this plant can quickly grow to 3 or 4 feet tall.

REX BEGONIA Most begonias do quite well in shade, however my favorite are the giant Rex begonias, grown mostly for their incredible foliage. From giant, silvery and chocolate spirals to beautifully textured and ribbed leaves in many different colors, these begonias provide an exotic beauty whereever they are planted.

Overwinter as houseplants to keep them beautiful all year round.

HOSTA The most popular shade perennial, hostas are available in thousands of varieties, from tiny miniatures to massive giants. Hostas come in many beautiful colors including yellow, green, blue and many very gated forms that combine the colors together. Designing with hostas is an art form and it is possible to create stunning displays of colors by combining these plants together.

CORAL BELLS Grown man leave for their colorful foliage, these beautiful, clumping perennials coming many breathtaking colors including caramel, chocolate, lime green, red, purple, gold and more.

LIGULARIA With its tropical-looking foliage and towering spikes or clusters of golden blooms, the many varieties of ligularia provide a stunning shade display.

Some may grow 4 to 6 feet high and wide, while dwarf varieties may only reach half that size.

CARDINAL FLOWER The talk spikes of Cardinal flower feature stunning scarlet blooms that appear in late summer, lasting into fall.

FERNS Ferns are a shade garden staple and serve to provide vertical interest as well as wonderful textures and colors in the garden. Native ferns such as northern maidenhair provide wonderful shape and form, while garden varieties, such as painted fern and ghost fern, add rich color.

BLEEDING HEARTS A spring and early summer favorite, bleeding hearts feature waving plumes of jewel-like blooms.

The smaller fringed bleeding hearts provide color and texture well into summer.

COLORFUL SHADE GRASSES There are even several varieties of grasses that do well in shade. Japanese forest grass in variegated gold and green provides a beautiful cascading form. Clumping blue fescue this provide perfectly shaped mounds of sky blue foliage.

FOOD & DRINK // GOLD RIBBIN’

Delicious Fun and Charity at Gold Ribbin’ BBQFest

BY PATRICK MARES This year the Gold Ribbin’ BBQFest of Greater Green Bay is going to be held in the heart of the city, at Lambeau Stadium. The event, which raises money for Golden House Domestic Abuse Program and Shelter is already shaping up to be twice as big as last year’s competition and Koren Bandoch, the Communications and Development Coordinator with Golden House was on hand to tell us all about it.

SCENE: How did the BBQ come about and how many years have you been doing it?

Bandoch: The Barbeque kind of morphed from one of our other events. We had a longstanding motorcycle ride, and it needed some new life so we added a barbecue element to that for a couple years. And then we wanted it to be a little bit more family-friendly and focus more on barbecue, an exciting up and coming trend in our local culture. Last year was our first year as a Kansas City Sanctioned Barbecue Event. We grew to about 42 [competing] teams last year.

Now we’re at about 76 teams at last count. So the move to Lambeau was huge.

SCENE: What does it take to be a Kansas City Barbecue Sanctioned Event?

Bandoch: Basically what it means is we’re working with the Kansas City Barbecue Society to make sure that we’re following their rules.

We have representatives from that organization coming in to help us with the competition to make sure that it is of high quality. There are a lot of teams around this area and around the country that only compete in events that are sanctioned by Kansas city barbecue society. So really, L4 | SceneNewspaper.com | Green Bay • De Pere | July 2015

getting sanctioned created a whole new audience for our event.

SCENE: And the picnic?

Bandoch: The other side of the event is the public picnic. It’s free admission from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. And we just want to invite families to come down and have a good time together. We have a pie eating contest; a wing eating contest; we’ve got a bean bag tournament; there’s a kid’s area with games in it; and of course we’ll have some barbecue for sale.

Due to Health Department Regulations [participants] can’t give out samples, but some of the teams are vending their food for lunch. So you can stop by, grab some barbecue and have a good time.

SCENE: As we go to print you’re at 76 competitors.

Bandoch: And we’re hoping to get a few more in the coming weeks.

SCENE: If someone has what they is a winning recipe, how do they enter?

FOOD & DRINK // GOLD RIBBIN’

Bandoch: Just go on our website greenbaybbq.com and register for the competition. Our base fee is $250. In addition to the four main categories, we have a dessert category as well. It’s $25 extra to compete in that one. But if you don’t have the money yourself you can raise it.

Participants who’ve raised $500 in pledges to Golden House can get in for free. You can pay the $250 to reserve your place in the competition and we’ll refund you when you reach $500 in pledges.

SCENE: And you’re holding a raffle.

Bandoch: Tickets are available now and anytime up until the event. And the grand prize for that raffle is Packers 2015 season tickets: four tickets to all 10 home games, plus four season passes to a party house with all you can eat in food and drinks.

Tickets to that are $20 each or six for $100.

SCENE: And it all benefits the Golden House?

Bandoch: Yes, the proceed go to Golden House, which is a domestic violence program here in Green Bay. The program began in 1979 as an entirely volunteer 24-hour organization known as the Brown County Task Force for Battered Women. Support groups, community counseling, and children’s programming were added over time, and the first shelter for women and children was established in 1981. The first permanent shelter was a

What is a Sanctioned Kansas City Barbecue Contest?

According to their web site: a Traditional Sanctioned Contest requires the teams to cook 4 meats (Chicken, Pork Ribs, Pork Butt, & Brisket).

The cooking source at a Traditional Sanctioned Contest must be wood, wood pellets or charcoal. In addition, Traditional Sanctioned Contests are eligible to earn entry into the American Royal, and the Jack Daniels World Championship. And all teams who participate in a Traditional Sanctioned Contest earn points towards the KCBS Team of the Year awards held each year at an annual banquet.

Those interested in a full set of rules can download them at the site, or pick up a copy as they register for the Gold Ribbin’ BBQFest at greenbaybbq.com/teams-and-judges/

gift from Thomas J. Lutsey, Sr. the owner and president of Gold Bond Company, and that’s how it became known as Golden House.

SCENE: It’s really grown over the years.

Bandoch: Today the agency, Golden House, Inc. operates out of a building on University Avenue in Green Bay with 11 bedrooms, enough capacity for 40 women and children. Golden House, Inc. offers a comprehensive program that includes a 24-hour emergency Helpline, 24-hour emergency shelter, l e g a l a d v o c a c y, individual counseling for victims and their children, group counseling for victims and their children, and outreach programming.

FOOD & DRINK // RED RESTAURANT

Red Restaurant

It takes a community to build a great place to eat

BY PATRICK MARES A relatively recent addition to Broadway’s revitalized restaurant scene is Red Restaurant, and the best time to hit Red might be during the thriving Wednesday farmer’s market. Why? The establishment, once featured in the New York Times’ list of must-hit bay area eateries ,picks up their summer vegetables from the produce trucks you see lining the street. You quite literally cannot get veggies fresher than this without pulling them out of the dirt yourself.

The restaurant is owned by Cheri Shade, an entrepreneur who says that before Red she never owned a restaurant. Her explanation for the change of heart? “I had a really big birthday and lost my mind,” she laughed.

She says she’s been managing the place now for two and a half years. Before this she’d run a string of clubs, “night clubs and health clubs,” but she’s quite pleased with the results of her venture.

As for the menu? It’s eclectic. They boast avocado tempura and a pork belly dish, each for advocates of salads and appetizers. Every week they have a different steak schedule and the Sous-Chef told us that at the moment they were serving fried ravioli and bacon wrapped dates for appetizers.

Wednesday is pizza night. They’ve just unleashed a Neapolitan dough they’d been working on for the better part of a year, and it seems to be a crowd pleaser, according to the chef, “They bake in six minutes and they’re supereasy to do and everything’s hand-rolled out to order. They’ve just taken off! I’m doing 10, 30, 40 pizzas a night, and there’s a pizza place two buildings down from us. They’ll come here on Wednesday’s instead.”

The current menu is a bit smaller than it used to be. The team is trying to source what they can from the farmer’s market, but they also listen to customer feedback when choosing specials or writing up a new menu. Having only 24 to 25 items makes the process a bit simpler to prep. Perhaps the coolest thing you’ll find in the kitchen is their apprenticeship program with Boys and Girls Club of Green Bay. The Red kitchen typically runs with a rotaL6 | SceneNewspaper.com | Green Bay • De Pere | July 2015

tion of three chefs, but patron Rashad Cobb, Career and Development coordinator with the club, asked them if they’d be willing to take on another. Every six months the Boys and Girls Club sends over one of the teens in their program for an apprenticeship under the master chefs at Red’s.

These kids were serious about picking up the skills of the trade, “The one kid that’s in here now,” chef said “he want’s to cook. He wants to be a chef. He asks a ton of questions, he’s super-motivated. I mean he can’t do too much.

He’s only 16. But we’ve got him busy back there.

And he’s learning. And watching a kid like that try food that he’s never had before, that he probably wouldn’t ever have unless he’s working in a kitchen, that’s a pretty good feeling.”

“That Kid” is 16 year old Dominic Yang.

SCENE: We’ve been told you’re working with Red through the Boys and Girls Club Green Bay. What kind of program is it?

Yang: So I was talking to Rashad, [on] the staff of the Boys and Girls Club. I was like, “Yeah. I want a cooking job.” And he was like, “Oh, really?” So he told me about this one right here: Red. And I said, “All right. Sure, I’ll give it a shot.” I actually really like it. I’m here about twice a week, whenever they need me. Actually, Rashad told me [the program is] about 300 hours, then after that they’ll hook me up with a more challenging job.

SCENE: What do you do here?

YANG: All I’m doing is prepping. But then I don’t cook back there [in the restaurant]. I cook right here though [in Red’s farmer’s market stall].

SCENE: What’s the next step is for you?

Yang: Actually I still have two more years in high school. So probably after that I’m going to go straight to college. I don’t know which college though. They say that Fox Valley Tech is pretty good. I probably won’t stay here; if not I’m going to get another culinary job.

SCENE: What do you really like about cooking?

Yang: You can make whatever you like basically. Like specials. You can make whatever you want. Like hamburgers. You can make it right then and there. You just make whatever you want.

FINE ARTS // GREG MCMONAGLE

Greg McMonagle is back from New York

BY PATRICK MARES With Appleton’s Mile of Music and De Pere’s EastWest Music fest poised to bring tons of awesome local sound to the area, residents of the Greater Green Bay area are in for a treat. We caught up with Green bay native, Greg McMonagle, who is scheduled to ply his trade at both of these events for a look into what is going on, on the other side of the guitar.

SCENE: Can you tell us a bit about yourself?

McMonagle: Hi there! Thanks for thinking of me. I’d be more than happy to answer questions and a little exposure never hurt anyone. Unless it’s indecent,

then there may be emotional scarring.

My name is Greg McMonagle. I’m a 25 year old singer/songwriter/multiinstrumentalist from good ol’ De Pere, Wisconsin. Freshly moved back from upstate New York, I’m currently based in Oshkosh. I just released my second album, Small As I Am, and am incredibly excited just to be here and making music.

SCENE: This is the first year for EastWest Music Fest, how many years have you been participating at Mile of Music?

McMonagle: I played at the Mile of Music last year with another De Pere native, Michael Gillespie. This is my first year playing my own music and I could not be more thrilled. And a bit terrified.

SCENE: How would you describe your music for someone who has never heard it?

McMonagle: My music is a rather mellow mix of tiny songs about tiny moments. Lyrically it’s a bit tongue-incheek, though occasionally serious and self-reflective. I’ve never been very good at this part, but here goes nothing. My music is relatable because it’s honest. I sing about everything from family, current and past loves, insecurities and loss to trying to figure out where the hell we all fit in this giant, cosmic puzzle. I swear it isn’t all so deathly serious. I try to blend together a large mix of styles and influences into one tiny pizza pocket of sound.

SCENE: What artists in particular

inspired you? What is it about their work that drew you in?

McMonagle: The first name that comes to mind when it comes to inspiration for me is Andrew Bird. For those of you who don’t know him, he is a classical violinist turned alternative folk maestro.

His music walks this fine line between simplicity and technical proficiency, and his lyrics flit back and forth from playful wordsmithing to scientific jargon. There’s a sort of balance there that really appeals to me.

SCENE: Is there anything else you’d like our readers to know?

McMonagle: Thank you all for keeping local, original music alive!

FOOD & DRINK // BREWMASTER

OVERRATED!

BY STEVE LONSWAY

The Stone Arch Brew House brewery team has always been fond of the beers Surly makes and with a few recent trips to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area, we were able to get an ample supply. Unfortunately our stock wore thin.

Good for us and other beer aficionados, Surly beers can now be found right here is Wisconsin.

When this news broke we were quick to call our distributor to land some of these fine brews for our Tap Room (and personal stash as well). The truly hard part was to find the one brand we wanted to write about. We ended up choosing the one we were most unfamiliar with…

Overrated! Surly Overrated is a self-proclaimed “Pale gold American (West Coast) IPA with fruity-citrus aromas from generous dry hopping”. Our team used goblets for our Surly sampling experience. Here is what we found: The beer poured a true golden blond color and produced a golden hue head that consisted primarily of tightly formed CO2 bubbles.

Unanimously we noticed a definite haze to an almost cloudy appearance. Typically dry hopped beers will appear hazy which is nothing

Surly Brewing Company Minneapolis & Brooklyn Center, MN

more than a visual thing, nothing that should steer you away. Some breweries will filter the haze out, but unfortunately it also strips some of the hop character out as well.

The nose (or scent) of this beer screams hops! Floral, citrusy, earthy, musty, grapefruit are all words our team used to describe it. A couple of us thought it was absent of the piney tones that are typical in a West Coast IPA. It was still quite pleasurable however.

As you would expect with a beer like this, our teams notes on the taste/flavor portion of this beer was pretty diverse. I personally noticed a malt forward push with Craig noticing caramel in the flavor. The other guys reported a lack of malt tones. A definite earthy tone came through with Taylor, Brian and Craig all noting a boozy or alcoholic flavor popping in. Very hop forward was the overall consensus. Citrus and floral definitely shines through on the palette and the medium body was just right for the style.

Surly Overrated finishes strong, both in hop character with its bitterness and warming from the presence of alcohol. Taylor commented that it finishes almost like a lemon-

Summer ClearanCe Sale

lime soda. None-the-less it finishes clean and dry with a slight warming effect.

Surly Brewing got their start in 2004 when an aspiring brewer convinced his parents and wife to convert the family abrasives business into a brewery. In order to be a brewery you need to brew beer and Surly did just that in December, 2005. With the help of heavy metal music and incorrectly operating fermenter controls, the first batch of Surly became reality on December 30th, 2005. Two months later they hit the streets to sell their flagship brew Furious. Furious was a bit ahead of its time and not well received at first by the local bars and restaurants but fortunately they have since come around. Then, good news came in June of 2007 when BeerAdvocate magazine named Surly Brewing the Best Brewery in America which was shortly followed up by more good news that RateBeer named Surly Darkness the best American beer in the world. With such fine accolades on their resume, they inspired to grow to not only handle increased demand, but to have a destination brewery where people can watch the beer being brewed, drink it and enjoy a fine meal as well. Only one problem

prevented this dream from coming to fruition – an outdated, Prohibition-era Minnesota law.

This law prevented breweries from selling their beer from their location (crazy, isn’t it?). Surly immediately went to work to change that law but soon realized it may be a bigger task then even they could handle. So what did they do?

They turned to Surly Nation and encouraged them via social media to contact their legislators to help turn that law into history. On May 24, 2011 the then Minnesota Governor signed the “Surly Bill” into law allowing breweries that produce less than 250,000 barrels of beer annaully to sell their works at their breweries.

Two years later, Surly broke ground on their next adventure…a destination brewery.

Finally in December 2014, after a record breaking cold winter and record spring rainfall, Surly opened their doors to an amazing facility that truly is a destination. Brewery, beer hall, restaurant, banquet hall and amazing beer garden await you in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota bordering Minneapolis.

FINAL WORD: Surly Overrated! Is truly overrated…in name only. A great beer, in a great package, by a great brewery. Cheers!

FOOD & DRINK // FROM THE WINE CAVE

From the Wine Cave BY KIMBERLY FISHER V i v a La France!

Fr a n c e i s a place of many wonders and has many unique grape growing areas. The Rhone Valley is the oldest established winemaking region in France dating back 600 years before the Romans.

Although the Rhone is considered one wine region, it is divided into two distinct parts based on climate and grape variety.

The Northern Rhone comprises less than five percent of the total production, but makes some of the area’s most amazing white and red wine. The region is 45 miles long and has the influence of the Mistral winds that are intense and cold. Grape

growing is dominated by two varieties. Red wine is made with the Syrah grape most famously grown in Cornas and Cote Rotie.

The Cornas region is over 130 hectares with a warm continental climate. The region is ancient; over 300 million years old, planted exclusively to Syrah. White wine made in Northern Rhone is made from the Viognier grape most famously in Condrieu.

Cote Rotie also known as the “Roasted Slope,” is a region that is over 1500 years old. The vines are grown on steep Roman Terraces. It has the lowest production per hectares and some of the highest altitude vineyards primarily given over to Syrah and Viognier. Other white varietals permitted in the north are Marsanne and Roussanne. In Cornas, the Syrah grape is grown on granite soil allowing the grape to have power rather than finesse. One notable producer in Northern Rhone is Jean Luc Colombo. Known as a visionary

for the region, he was the first to use small oak barrels and vinify in stainless steel. He is the recipient of the French Legion of Honor, which is the highest civilian honor in the country of France and has achieved over 150 scores of over 90+ points from trade publications such as Robert Parker and Wine Spectator since the winery began in 1982.

The Southern Rhone is home to 95 percent of the valley’s grape production. The soil is primarily stones that are rounded pebbles called gallets with a mixture of shingle and stone clay. Twenty five grapes are grown in the south, but the dominant red grape is Grenache, often blended with Mourvedre and Cinsault. Leading producers in the area include E Guigal, Paul Jaboulet, Perrin and Chapoutier. Jean Luc Colombo also produces wines in the Southern Rhone region and has created a label called “Les Abeilles” (French for the bees) which features a Cotes du Rhone Red

and White. As Jean has been known as the Syrah wizard, he is also known for helping to save the bees. A disease called Colony Collapse Disorder has mysteriously been decimating bee populations throughout the world, including the Rhone River Valley. Honeybees pollinate more than 90% of our flowering grapes, and over the years, the bees and their colonies are dying.

Ten percent of sales of Jean Luc Colombo Cotes du Rhone Red and White go to research at UC Davis, to help research and find ways to save the bees.

When in Rhone, do what the Rhon – ans do; drink Rhone wine. The ancient soils, the vast and diverse acreage and the centuries of viticulture make the Rhone River valley one of the very special wine growing areas in the world. Explore a region in France that can offer you so many nuances and taste what makes this area so unique.

FOOD & DRINK // TRICIA’S TABLE

BY TRISH DERGE

Burger Time!

Trish’s Delicious Avocado Topping

Anybody can squish a few patty’s out of a pound of burger, toss them on the grill and singe the dickens out of them until they’re flavorless and dry as a Saharan paleontologist’s sack lunch.

But if you want your guests at your cookout to enjoy their meal, and not collectively roll their eyes in disgust at the blackened disk you place on their bun and say, “Better load up on the condiments,” take note of a few tips from an expert.

Jamie Schweid is executive vice president/co-butcher of Schweid & Sons, a purveyor of ground beef that was founded in the late 1800’s on New York’s Lower East Side.

Jamie says: 1. Always lay the burger cheese-side down on the bun.

This way your bottom bun won’t get soggy, and your burger will taste better.

2. Don’t just toss the patty on the grill.

If cooking outdoors, use a grill mat or camp griddle to ensure a nice sear and keep your patty from sticking or losing its shape.

3. Forget that frying pans even exist.

If cooking on a stovetop, a cast iron skillet is the best way to get a restaurant-

I love this on top of a burger, or just on a hearty piece of toast for breakfast.

• Chop three scallions and a clove of garlic, and saute in with olive oil a pan. Set aside.

• In a medium bowl smoosh an avocado with a fork.

• Squeeze in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.

• Add a quarter cup of crumbled blue cheese.

• Fold in the onions and garlic.

• Pepper to taste, and enjoy!

style crust on the patty’s exterior.

4. Fat is your friend.

For a juicy, delicious burger, opt for meat that has a 75/25 lean to fat ratio.

5. Always pre-heat and pre-oil your cooking surface.

Pro tip: Cook some bacon and use the fat as your oil!

6. Don’t bother with pulling down your hood.

Closing the lid on your grill does not aid in cooking the burger, only in melting the cheese (that is, if you’re putting the cheese on top, where it definitely should not be).

7. Your patty should weigh no more than eight ounces.

Any larger than that will jeopardize your ability to cook the burger to a perfect medium rare.

8. Cold hands form the best patties.

Try rubbing a piece of ice on your palms just before shaping. Wash your hands with soap and water before you get started.

9. NEVER put a burger on a nontoasted bun.

The juices will run out and ruin it. The only exception to this rule is sliders, which should be served on soft or potato rolls, with cheese on the bottom, of course.

ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH JULY 2015

Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band at EAA AirVenture!

BY JANE SPIETZ Actor/humanitarian/musician Gary Sinise has enjoyed a multifaceted career. He started out playing in bands as a teenager, but became totally captivated by theater after performing in a high school production of West Side Story. Sinise went on to co-found the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago and still supports its activities.

A prolific actor, he won an Emmy for his portrayal of George Wallace on television, a Golden Globe for Truman, in which he played Harry S. Truman and he was Detective Mac Taylor on CSI:NY. Sinise was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump.

It was this last character that eventually led to his great passion for working to support veterans and veterans’ service organizations for the past thirty years. After forming the Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band, Sinise and his band regularly hit

the road to back these efforts, and he also makes solo appearances to help get the word out. His Gary Sinise Foundation was established in 2011 to raise funds and promote resources for servicemen and women. Sinise co-founded the Operation International Children program which ships school supply kits to troops serving in conflict areas overseas. Severely wounded veterans benefit from the Gary Sinise Foundation’s building of custom Smart Homes for them. He has earned numerous notable awards for his work, such as the Presidential Citizens Medal, The Ellis Island Medal of Honor, The Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment from the Medal of Honor Society, and the Spirit of the USO Award. His most recent award was the 2015 Service to America Leadership Award from the NAB Education Foundation (NABEF).

Gary Sinise called me from Los Angeles not long ago to update me on his activities, including the Lt. Dan Band’s upcoming

WHAT: Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band WHERE: EAA AirVenture, Oshkosh WI WHEN, COST & INFO: 7 PM Friday, July 24 performance at the 2015 EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh WI. Jane Spietz: Hi Gary. You initially became hooked on acting in high school.

Gary Sinise: I was playing in bands from the time I was in, like, 6th grade and hung out with the band guys a lot. Living in Glen Ellyn Illinois, I went to a production of West Side Story in high school and really liked watching the play. We then moved to Highland Park. It turns out that high school was doing West Side Story. I was standing in the hallway with some of my band members when the drama teacher walked by. He said we should come audi-

tion for the play because we looked like gang members and could play them in the play. I thought that was funny and I had just seen it, so I thought I would go check it out. I was standing outside the audition watching all these pretty girls walking in, so I followed them. (Laughs) I ended up auditioning and got in the show. From that point on, all I wanted to do is act in plays and play in bands. When I graduated high school, I started a theater company called Steppenwolf which has been around now for over forty years. I’m one of the three founders of the company so I’m still involved with fundraising and some of the things going on there.

JS: Have you been involved in any acting projects lately?

GS: Ever since CSI:NY went off the air in February of 2013, I have just poured myself into my foundation and military support work. I’ve been doing that pretty much full time for the past two and a half Continue on Page R14

years. So it’s been a little bit of time away from that, but I have a television series that I’m going to start shooting the end of July.

It’s a spinoff of the “Criminal Minds” show on CBS. We’ll be spinning off a new series called “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.”

It explores the international division of the FBI. JS: How was the Gary Sinise Foundation established?

GS: I had been working with several military charities, involved with veterans’ groups in the ‘90s working a little bit with the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and

in the ‘80s working with Vietnam veterans groups in the Chicago area. After September 11th, I just wanted to do something for our active duty service members who were deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq so I started volunteering for the USO and to support lots of different military charities that were popping up. I would just lend my services with the band or volunteer to help raise money or whatever I could do.

After working with some of them for several years, it just became clear that the next step was for me to start my own veterans charity called the Gary Sinise Foundation.

I’ve used what I’ve learned over the years in supporting men and women to try to bring some resources to help benefit them and their families. Our men and women are going to be called upon for years to come. Therefore, I stepped up to try to do my part in helping to support them. They are our freedom providers. It’s a dangerous world and they do dangerous things so we should back them up.

JS: What’s your take on the level of support that is provided to today’s service members versus what was offered to veterans in the past?

R14 | SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015

GS: Let’s look in retrospect. I’m motivated because of the Viet Nam veterans that I know, and the ones that I have in my family. My veteran support work goes back to the ‘70s and early ‘80s with the recognition as a young man that our Viet Nam veterans had really gotten a bad deal coming home. So my motivation today – the seeds of that – were planted years ago by the Viet Nam veterans who educated me. If you look at what’s happening today, I’m certainly motivated to do whatever I can to ensure that our active duty service members today are treated much better than our Viet Nam veterans were when they came home from war, and that what happened to our Viet Nam veterans never happens again. That you volunteer for service or go off to serve your country, you get shot at, you see your buddies get killed or wounded, you struggle with long deployments away from home, serious things happen to you, then you come home and the country turns its back on you. That’s no good. We never want that to happen.

That’s a big motivator for me, and I think that’s a big motivator for a lot of people.

We recognize that that was a bad deal and that hopefully we learn some hard lessons from that period.

JS: The fact that there are more than 40,000 military charities out there kind of speaks pretty loudly to the fact that people do care about our service members.

GS: I don’t think it’s up to the government to do everything. First of all, because they can’t, and I think it’s up to us as citizens who benefit from the freedom that’s provided by these service members who deploy at dangerous places around the world. It’s up to us, in some ways, to ensure that the veterans in our own communities, neighborhoods, towns and cities are taken care of. We can all do that by just stepping up and saying I want to take some action, or donate to an organization that is taking action. One of the things that I can do as a celebrity, as a public figure, is shine a light on things. It all became clear that there was a useful way that my success in the movie and television business could be applied.

JS: Share the story about the formation of the Lt. Dan Band.

GS: I started doing USO tours after the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq started.

I would go out and shake hands and take Continue on Page R16

pictures. I had these band members that I played with for fun, and I finally talked the USO into letting me take the band members with me. I had been just shaking hands, and I wanted to entertain in some way. I remember the first tour I did overseas in Iraq. I was on a tour with Kid Rock, Lee Ann Womack and these other entertainers that were playing music. I immediately started talking to the USO. I said, “I have a band. I can go do this!”

Because I’m an actor, they look at me like “Well, yeah sure, you’ve got a band.” But eventually, after five or six handshake tours, they let me take the band out on the road for the USO to play for the troops. That first year, after we went into Iraq, I went on six USO tours, like every month for six months. I was going “Send me to Iraq, send me to Europe, send me to Asia, wherever.”

I just wanted to go be with the troops, visit our military, say thank you and pat ‘em on the back. Everywhere I was going on those handshake tours, they were calling me ‘Lt. Dan’ from Forrest Gump. So, when I started taking the musicians, I said

let’s call it Gary Sinise & the Lt Dan Band.

We play contemporary, classic, blues, pop, rock, country. I want a big variety in the show because we play for little kids on these bases as well as older veterans. We’ll even play ‘40s tunes if we’re doing the DAV convention, for example, and they’ve got some World War II veterans attending. We try to play a little something for everybody.

JS: What does it mean for you to be returning to perform at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh in July?

GS: What I love about AirVenture is they’re so veteran-friendly. There are so many veterans there. We are always part of the big veterans salute and tribute. It’s always a pleasure to be around so many veteran-friendly families and so many patriotic Americans. I really enjoy our doing it and I’m glad we’re coming back this year. I hope that a lot of people come out to see us again.

SUMMER JAMS!

ENTERTAINMENT // SHORT BRANCH

LIVE MUSIC - NO COVER!

Short Branch Saloon Goes Long on Music

BY GEORGE HALAS If you have not been to The Short Branch Saloon in Neenah in the last couple of years or so, be prepared to be very nicely surprised at what they’ve done to the place.

Walking in the front door, the bar still has the same rustic feel it has always had.

Keep walking and the end of the bar opens into an area with a new, raised stage, an excellent house sound system and tables arrayed in a way that facilitates listening and viewing as well as leaving a very comfortable dance floor.

Continuing past the stage and heading outside, it opens up into a large big-treeshaded lawn with eight picnic tables, an outdoor stage and a bar that can accommodate up to 200 hundred people comfortably.

If you are there on a Saturday or Sunday morning, you may notice that a lot of folks are drinking Bacon Bloody Mary’s.

If you are there any time, you cannot help but notice the strong commitment to becoming one of the premier music venues in the Fox Valley.

“Our goal at the Short Branch is to provide a great evening out for all of our customers,” said manager Jason Rothe.

“We strive to provide many genres of local talent without a cover charge or overpriced drinks.”

“I’ve got to give a shout out to our owner, Lorrie Davis,” Rothe added, “for providing us with a great vision and the support to accomplish great things. Music is our number one priority and, not only R18 | SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015

are we committed to making The Short Branch a top music destination, we’d like to work with other venues to make Neenah a great music destination.”

Special events are coming up as well.

“One of the highlights to mark on your calendars is our annual corn roast, July 11th, with many great bands headlined

by The Presidents all day and night. Also, make plans to be at our end of the summer luau in August that includes a pig roast and the limbo out in the backyard!”

Rothe emphasized that the changes and improvements are still coming.

“We plan on continuing with the current remodeling that many are seeing as well as adding a kitchen,” he said.

“One of our objectives is to have a Friday fish fry that will accommodate our inside guests and outside in our spacious backyard!”

The Short Branch offers three different regular music “nights” each week, starting on Wednesdays with Classic Rock running from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In July and August, Bobby Evans and Russ Reiser perform on alternate Wednesdays.

On Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Valley Unplugged series is offering A-Town Unplugged, Cool Waters and Christopher Gold.

The musically diverse Summer Showcase presents The Presidents on July 11, Consult The Briefcase on July 18 and Crankin’ Yankees on July 25. The August lineup includes Red Light Saints, Leading The Blind, Dead Horses, Miles Nielson and The Mustache.

NEWS & VIEWS // MEDIA RANTS

Educating for the Public Sphere

BY TONY PALMERI A majority of American adults avoid participation in public discussion of issues.

Given that so much of what passes for public discourse is infected with the twin poisons of prepackaged partisan talking points and mindless put downs of opposing views, avoidance behavior should not be surprising.

Unfortunately, citizen withdrawal from the public sphere has real consequences.

When uncontested bad ideas dominate, policy makers feel empowered to make them into law. The fact that the 400 wealthiest individuals on the Forbes 400 list have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined is a testament to the power of narrow monied interests to get “reverse Robin Hood” economic policy ideas taken seriously.

How can people become more engaged in solving the problems caused by an unhealthy public sphere? Clearly education has to be part of the solution. As a teacher in a Department of Communication at UW Oshkosh that states as its mission helping students to “find their voice,” I am always looking for ways to encourage public engagement. The rest of this rant describes a seminar I taught in the spring of this year designed to provide students with some tools necessary to analyze and evaluate discourse in the public sphere, and hopefully “raise the bar” for such discourse when choosing to enter that sphere themselves.

R20 | SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015

The seminar was called “Rhetoric in Action.” At the most basic level, rhetoric is the “art of persuasion.” The goal in the course was to expose students to writers in the public sphere for whom persuasion is the major purpose for writing. Newspaper op-ed writers represent probably the best example of the kind of persuaders I had in mind, so I assigned each of the 22 enrolled students a writer that they followed all semester. The assigned writers were Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, David Brooks, Maureen Dowd, Frank Bruni, Gail Collins, and Ross Douthat of the New York Times; Leonard Pitts, Jr. of the Miami Herald; Dana Milbank, Eugene Robinson, Kathleen Parker, Katrina vandenHeuvel, Jennifer Rubin, Richard Cohen, E.J.Dionne, Jr., George Will, and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post; Meghan Daum and Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times; Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias of Vox.com; and John Nichols of the Madison Capital Times.

My main criteria in selecting the writers were: (1) the writer needed to be engaged consistently in writing about major public policy issues, (2) the writer needed to write for a mainstream source, and (3) the writer needed to have a substantial following. Obviously many writers meet those criteria, so I tried to arrive at a balance of liberal, moderate, and conservative voices.

My own familiarity with the 22 writers was also a consideration; knowing about the writers in advance made it easier for me to determine if students were representing

them accurately in their assigned papers for the course.

The course textbook was The Rhetorical Act: Thinking, Speaking, and Writing Critically by professors Karlyn Campbell, Susan Huxman, and Thomas Burkholder.

The writers conceptualize a successful rhetorical act as one that employs the resources of evidence, argument, organization, and language to overcome challenges making persuasion difficult. Those challenges arise from audience (they often misinterpret messages and are resistant to change), subject and purpose (subjects can be complex and saying yes to the purpose might cost too much), and the rhetor him or herself (a writer’s prior reputation might get in the way of accepting his or her current argument).

Students wrote many short papers analyzing how their assigned writer tried to overcome specific rhetorical challenges, leading to wonderful classroom discussions about public issues and the manner in which mainstream writers frame them. As the semester went on most seemed to be disturbed by how little the writers address issues of concern to young people; debt, lack of enough good paying jobs, and the environment to name just three examples.

I found myself reminding them frequently that the answer was simple: write and speak about the issues you care about. Make a commitment to the public sphere.

The final assignment was a lengthy paper requiring the student to evaluate his or her assigned writer based on artistic

quality, effectiveness, accuracy, and/or ethics. These were some of the most intelligent and enjoyable papers I’ve read in a while. A good number of students were drawn to the ethical standard, which looks favorably on rhetoric that promotes social harmony and unfavorably on that which promotes discord. One student told me that a politiEthics.com website would be more valuate than politiFact. I told her she should start it.

As a result of this course, one student was motivated to publish his own op-ed (on the topic of student debt) for the student Advance Titan newspaper. Another submitted her final paper (arguing that the NYT’s Frank Bruni weds a sense of comic, tragic, and history like a modern Shakespeare) to the Oshkosh Scholar journal of student scholarship.

Like the majority of liberal arts courses offered at the UW, “Rhetoric in Action” provided students with a meaningful opportunity to think critically about civic responsibility. Such opportunities make it more likely that graduates will pay critical attention to what is going on in Madison and Washington. Perhaps that is why so many politicians want to reduce the UW mission to mere concern with job skills.

ENTERTAINMENT // CD REVIEW

MY DESIRE OF YOU CD Review

BY GEORGE HALAS Given that one of the songs on this CD has been nominated for an international award, this reviewer believes that he is not going out on a limb in stating that “My Desire of You” is a great album and arguably the best yet from Jamie Lyn Fletcher.

She has an excellent voice and tastefully subdued vocal style that creates intrigue and a certain journey-into-the-unknown feel. She complements her voice by choosing keys and notes lower than most female vocalist, again creating intrigue. Her songs often sound like the music that sets up the scary part of the movie…or is it romance… or is it both? She is also an outstanding – again intriguing – lyricist.

The title/opening track, “My Desire For You” is a tune that gets you on the first bass note and keeps you with an intoxicating beat and intelligent, inventive lyrics that sit perfectly on top of her piano-driven

groove. She leaves one wondering if she truly embraces her desire; the lyrical twists will encourage multiple listens.

The award-nominated (see “The Spanish Inquisition” in this issue for detail) “I’ll Kiss You In The Rain” has that same multiple-listenable quality. It features a Brazilian tempo sparked by Fletcher’s stylish piano augmented by rhythmic guitar and includes sweet chord, tempo and mood changes. Her vocal sets an emotionally evocative tone that brings out the happy.

Fletcher lures you into “Dangerous Beautiful” with an acoustic guitar intro then traps in a harmonic and intensity build that definitely sounds dangerous… but captivating. She uses a jazzier guitar to take you into a rather tastefully adult “In My Dreams.” She needs only an acoustic guitar to present the case her heart vs. her soul in “Unresolved.”

She is very pleased with the sound and

feel of the entire album and a newly discovered emotional vulnerability.

“Having the most amazing recording engineer and producer on the planet doesn’t hurt either,” she emphasized. “Marc Golde broke me, I don’t know how many times, in the studio over getting into the right emotional place on each song. He would accept nothing less. Who knew rocker guys could be so sensitive. He might kill me for repeating this, but regarding “What Now,” he says ‘this makes me want to just to go ice skating with Audrey Hepburn in Central Park.”

Had this reviewer thinking of lacing up the skates as well, but it’s a song that would work well with wine and a fire.

“And Marc’s board,” Fletcher said, “this is my first album on ‘that board’ - Vintage analog 30 channel API Aengus Model 73one of only two ever made. Play it through a set of old beastly analog speakers and the cellos will dance around the room while

-Dean Kaufert

Mayor of Neenah

I whisper the lyrics in your ear. It is sometimes unnervingly intimate.

You hear every spit crackle and every breath.

The only effect used was an authentic plate reverb. Marc had the vision for this work and executed it immaculately, as did the musicians and beautiful photographer Sofia of Sofia Imagery. You have to see the cover – wow! The album was mastered at Sterling Audio in New York which pushed the vision right over the top.”

The songs on this album will also sound great live, so it might be a good idea to catch Jamie Lyn Fletcher at one of her upcoming gigs and grab a CD there.

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION

Jamie Lyn Fletcher on the Rise

BY GEORGE HALAS The Inquisition and those in-the-know in northeast Wisconsin have known for some time that Jamie Lynn Fletcher is one of the best and most creative singermusician-composers.

But it’s not just Wisco – the world is now taking notice.

The Green Bay-based Fletcher was named by Music Resource Group (MRG) as one of five 14th Independent Music Awards nominees in the Jazz with Vocals Category for her song “I’ll Kiss You In The Rain” from her new album “My Desire of You.” IMA nominations in more than 80 categories spanned over the globe from nearly 30 countries. The eclectic mix of established and rising talent was culled from thousands of submissions. Winners will be determined by a panel of influential artist and industry judges such as Arturo Sandoval, Jane Monheit, Suzanne Vega, Sharon Jones, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Lila Downs, Judy Collins, Raul Midón, Amanda Palmer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Shelby Lynne, Chris Wood & Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers), Anthony DeCurtis (Rolling Stone), as well as numerous talent elites.

In addition to the winners selected by the Artist & Industry judges, music fans from around the world have until Friday, July 31, 2015 to vote for their favorite Nominees at The Vox Pop Jukebox, the fan-determined portion of The IMAs. “It is quite the honor and I’m humbled at the positive response. There certainly has been an increased demand for what I do since the nomination, and it has encouraged me to continue testing the album in a more international realm,” Fletcher said. “I will not rest on the laurels of the nomination, though. You are only as good as what you produce right now. It is such an honor to have this nomination, but an even bigger honor to have fans support their favorite independent music, uncontrolled by commerciality and written for qualityminded music lovers.”

This was not the first time she has been honored.

“The Fool,” a cut off her 2012 release, “Jamie,” made it as a finalist in the 2013 International John Lennon Songwriting R24 | SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015

Competition.

“It’s about making a mistake that most of us have made and I still get so many requests for it on my live shows as it resonates with the human experience,” she said.

Fletcher’s star has been rising in Europe as well as she has made several trips over the last couple years.

“The past two years I’ve been focusing on finding the right sound,” she said.

“It was impossible to do until I realized I had to start being true to myself and the music that I wanted to produce: something tender and gentle that cannot be pigeonholed because it is just ‘music.’ There was also a process of facing my biggest fears of loving and being loved. Sometimes you get run over by inspiration or a situation and you can’t run away any more. The new album is the beginning of letting go.”

Her European experiences serve as a musical travelogue.

“Europe is so vast,” Fletcher said “but you can drive all day and pass through several cultures and languages, unlike in the States. Irony and a few good friends have brought me to Austria on tour several times over the past few years. Vienna is so rich in history, architecture, music, and art; everyone loves live entertainment. Their tastes bend more towards the early American ‘traditional’ jazz music of pre-WWII and then jump into rockabilly, skipping over much of the Western world’s music from the 1930’s & 40’s as it was banned under Hitler. Poodle skirts and bobby socks are a rave in many clubs now, but there is a burgeoning niche who appreciates original music as well as the Great American Song Book, which is where my musical heart likes to hang out. It’s pure elegance.”

And the music scene in London?

“Amazingly rich in all styles and they are over-the-top with the funk. No shortage of groove,” she said. “Belgium leans more towards hard jazz and be-bop and France remains unchanged with their love for everything sultry and chanteuse. Oslo was a complete surprise as my second evening led me to a concert by Norway’s probably most-predominant pop artist, Bjørn Eidsvag. My brain had no idea what he was singing, but his music penetrates into a deep place in the soul, which attests to the universality of the music language. I was

blessed to later meet with him for lunch and an interview.”

“My third night I stumbled upon an American-style big band complete with the Andrew sisters,” she added. “For a selfproclaimed ‘amateur band’ (one is considered amateur if their main income is not in performing music), they nailed it. I spent the rest of my time exploring the scene and playing my butt off nearly every night in every style of music - regardless of spoken language. I was warmly accepted on stage in all situations and hope to return soon.”

The album proved to be somewhat of a metaphysical quest.

“This new album is completely different from anything I have done,” she said. “I met an incredible individual, Marc Golde, who turned my being inside out, challenged me in every way, forced me to address my deepest fears, and impacted me enough to finally stop running from myself in my most hidden self-destruction. The new album is an examination of the baby steps of the process...the hesitations, the

fears, the wants, the desires, the dark edges, the joyful light, and the hopes of maybe one day being able to fully trust and love.”

“Sometimes I listen to it and I don’t even recognize myself - did I write that?” she continued. “The music is extremely subtle and tender with multiple meanings, but hopefully something that everyone can relate to if they pay close attention. There were several times I had to question exactly who I was speaking to in the music - to my inspiring person, to God, or to myself - not to confuse any of them with each other, of course. This new work is an admission of vulnerability- something I once swore I would never let out. But there is no art without vulnerability.”

Fletcher will be back in town in July and August for multiple gigs in Green Bay, DePere and Door County. For a complete schedule - and while you’re there, you can download “The Fool” for free (along with a couple other older originals) – go to her website: jamielynnfletcher.com

ENTERTAINMENT // SUNSPLASH

Sister Bay celebrating new beach with Midwest Sunsplash Music Festival What happens when you pair $18 million in beach and park improvements, the crystal clear waters of Green Bay, and Reggae, Roots and Rock? The Midwest Sunsplash Music Festival in its new home in Sister Bay, Door County!

This August 7-8, the new Waterfront stage in Sister Bay hosts the first new major music festival to hit Door County in a decade. A line up of 9 musical acts, an eclectic mix of food and drink vendors, and sellers of groovy goods will bring a fresh vibe to the village and give people an opportunity to check out the newly completed beach and Waterfront Park.

“Midwest SunSplash is a fun and funky new venture for Sister Bay, that will ideally make people take another look at Sister Bay as a place to visit,” said Zeke Jackson, administrator for the Village of Sister Bay. “This event is an opportunity to showcase the new public waterfront in an active and vibrant way. Sister Bay is the place for young, active families to relax and make fun memories. “ Village President David Lienau confirmed Jackson’s sentiments, adding, “This will attract new visitors that haven’t been to Sister Bay or Door County, and give people who haven’t been in a while a reason to come back.”

The connection with Sister Bay and the Midwest Sunsplash (MWSS) event was a serendipitous one. Unity the Band played the first ever concert on the new Sister Bay Stage July 31, 2014. After the show, Unity lead singer Pita Katobalavu and Sister Bay Advancement Association Director Paige Funkhouser chatted about the new venue, music and SBAA’s desire to bring a music festival to the Village.

Thus, Midwest SunSplash found a new home.

MWSS began as a concert series by Katobalavu and his partner, Kay Halbrook. They were looking to grow the series, and for a new, better venue than previously used.

“Unity headlining the first concert at the new Waterfront Pavilion last summer packed the park,” Funkhouser said. “It was a perfect night: warm, beautiful sunset, people on boats listening to the jams. The energy of Pita’s band and their really positive messages created beautiful atmosphere on the waterfront. Unity drew a huge crowd with a fantastically diverse mix of ages and personalities. Zeke (Jackson) and I started talking with Pita and from there the festival idea grew into what people will experience Aug. 7 and 8.”

Funkhouser, Jackson, Katobalavu and R26 | SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015

Halbrook met in November over sushi at Bonsai in De Pere, and started planning this year’s event as a soft opening of the new waterfront. A Joint Effort Marketing grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism was written, and awarded to help promote the event.

The grant award is funding the traditional and social media marketing to attract visitors from around the Midwest to the event. The state’s tourism marketing arm was onboard with the goal of inviting younger people and more diverse visitors to the state and Door County.

August 8 will be an art and music-filled day on the water in Sister Bay. Sister Bay Advancement Association will also host the 13th annual Door County Festival of Fine Arts in Waterfront Park on the north side of the Sister Bay Village Hall. This festival showcases Door County fine artists, who sell, and demonstrate their craft throughout the day, 10 - 5 p.m.

“By pairing these two events, people attending Midwest SunSplash can spend their day perusing fine art at the Door County Festival of Fine Arts, and learning how artists create,” Funkhouser explained. “DCFA will also have live music throughout the day to put people in the mood for MWSS. Door County’s successful art scene will help draw people to MWSS, and people who have come for the new music will get to experience the vibrant art scene in Door County.”

Katobalavu handpicked the entertainment to represent diverse music styles, with the idea to appeal to the usual Door County crowds, with aspiration to attract new visitors who may not have been to the peninsula.

“My band has played all over in Door County, at Fishstock and other events for many years, and I love the warm welcomes we receive,” Katobalavu said. “I wanted to make sure we brought up great musicians that will entertain the local people who are exposed to lots of great talent all the time. I also chose bands for their geographic location and the size of their fan base. The bands will invite their fans to come up to Door County and hear their favorite band in a new location. Did we mention you’ll be able to swim while listening to the music?”

The festival kicks off Friday, August 7 at 4 p.m. with three bands playing on the Waterfront Stage until 9 p.m. Saturday’s line up features six bands playing from 2 p.m. until Continue on Page R28

Honey & the 45’s kicked off their 2015 touring season by opening for Smash Mouth in North Carolina, and are including Midwest Sunsplash in their busy schedule. Katobalavu first connected with them through a fan in Rockford, and in his search for unique acts for MWSS, he thought they really stood out.

“Their folk/blues/funk combo is really kick-ass,” saaid Katobalavu. “Having two women musicians out front isn’t something you see too often!”

Lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Kristina Cottone shares the stage with Kim Kozel, who sings and plays saxophone and violin in this Chicago-based group. Kottone and Kozel are joined by lead guitarist Jon Gould, Sean Tatum on bass, and drummer Jarad Kleinstein. Among their credentials is a Best Blues/Jazz Band honor in 2014 from the Chicago Independent Music Awards. They recently released their second album “MAD.” They will kick off Saturday’s line up at 2 p.m. on the Sister Bay Stage.

Natty Nation will draw their fans from Madison and southern Wisconsin to Door County, with the lure of a great Friday night headliner show at MWSS. Traditionally, Sunsplash festivals are known for the Reggae message of peace, love and unity, and Natty Nation

has been touring and playing those positive vibrations since 1995. A steady back up band for such legends as Lee “Scratch” Perry and Chaka Demus & Pliers, they have a tight dubbased sound that attracts reggae purists as well as seekers of roots-rock-reggae.

Other bands performing during the two day event include: Katobalavu’s Unity the Band, Whiskey of the Damned, Recalcitrant, Big Wig Mechanics, Wifee & the Huzz Band, and Earth to Clark.

For a full festival experience, camping is available for festival goers at the Sister Bay Sports Complex, with a separate area for tents and RVs. Starting at 9 p.m. Friday night,

MWSS ticket holders will be treated to an acoustic “after-hours” campfire music jam at the camping area hosted by Door County’s own Mary Jane Gang.

“Camping really makes the festival by adding a communal setting for people to share and chill during and after MWSS. The Village of Sister Bay has helped make this happen, and they are building a bonfire for Friday night’s acoustic jam, and will shoot off fireworks Friday night,” said Funkhouser.

To create a festival atmosphere, MWSS is looking for food and drink vendors, and arts and crafts vendors, that will fit with the Reggae-Roots-Rock vibe.

“We would love to bring locally sourced foods and drinks that include healthy options mixed in with summer treats to our festival, and that has been the focus of our search for unique vendors,” festival manager Kay Halbrook said. “The arts and crafts vendors will be distinctly different than the artists showcased in the Door County Festival of Fine Arts.

We have a multi-cultural focus, with people sharing ethnic rituals like the Fijian Kava Ceremony and Henna Tattoo Artists, along with people selling natural and peace-building goods and native arts.”

The musical lineup for the day will take the stage on the Sister Bay Waterfront Stage, except Friday night after 9 p.m.: Midwest SunSplash Music Festival is Friday from 4-9 p.m. at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront Park, 10693 North Bay Shore Drive, Highway 42, Sister Bay. Friday’s entertainment will move to the nearby Sister Bay Sports Complex (2155 Autumn Court) from 9 p.m. – midnight. Saturday, the festival grounds open at noon with music from 2 p.m. to midnight at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront Park.

Tickets are $30 for General Admission and $10 per person for camping. Tickets are available online at www.midwestsunsplash.com and at the door the day of the event. Children 10 and under are free.

ENTERTAINMENT // ROCK USA

Rock USA’s 5th Anniversary!

BY JANE SPIETZ It’s hard to believe that the world class Rock USA festival is about to recognize its 5th anniversary! Its mission still applies today: “To deliver the maximum Rock Festival experience while still offering a very affordable ticket. To listen to what the fans want and cater to their experience in the best way we can. ...and finally to deliver a kick-ass line up year in, and year out.”

This year’s line up will be no exception to the rule, with headliners Alice Cooper, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Judas Priest, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold and many great supporting acts scheduled to perform.

I touched base with Rock USA promoter Dan Liebhauser recently to get the scoop on this year’s event.

Jane Spietz: Rock USA is about to celebrate its 5th anniversary! How has this world class event evolved over the past 5 years?

Dan Liebhauser: Five years ago Rock USA kicked off its first year with KISS, and attendance hit about 70,000. Last year the attendance had grown to about 100,000.

JS: What type of feedback have you been getting from fans?

DL: Looks like the rock fans approve of what we’re trying to do. Our goal is to deliver as broad a mix of rock entertainment as possible. In fact, our motto is: Sold Rock. No Limits.

JS: Tell us about the exciting line up for this year’s event. You have forecast that it will be a monster!

DL: Onstage for Rock USA’s 5th year is Judas Priest, Avenged Sevenfold, Def Lep-

WHAT: Rock USA 2015 WHERE: Ford Festival Park, Oshkosh WI WHEN, COST & INFO: July 15 – 18, 2015 $69 through 7/3/15, $79 at the gate All 4 days for $129 through 7/3/15, $159 at the gate www.rockusaoshkosh.com pard, Alice Cooper, Breaking Benjamin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and enough power acts to give us budget nightmares of $2 million dollars in talent.

JS: The ‘Who Do You Want?’ poll on the Rock USA website provides fans with the ability to state their preferences about whom they would like to see perform.

How much is their input taken into account when acts are being considered?

DL: The very reason for the ‘Who Do You Want?’ feature is to allow us to tap into the pulse of our rock fans. This is probably the most important piece of info we use in buying out talent.

JS: Looking to the future, what are your hopes for Rock USA in the next five years?

DL: Big things happening for 2016!

We plan on spending an additional $300,000 on talent and we want our rock fans to follow us on social media as we roll out some really exciting changes in the next coming months for Rock USA 2016.

JS: Thanks, Dan. Looking forward to another great event!

ENTERTAINMENT // DOBIE MAXWELL

To Beater…Or Not To Beater

BY DOBIE MAXWELL There aren’t many areas of life in which I am clearly above average, so when “one” does happen to come along I need to pump it with a trumpet. I read an article recently that said on average the typical American will own a total of 12 cars in their lifetime, and the typical Brit will own 9.

I tried to get an accurate count of how many I have owned before age 50 and came up with the grand total of 127. I may have even missed a couple, but as far as I can tell that’s the accurate up to the minute running count.

The key word is “running,” which most of them didn’t do for long.

The reason I owned that many vehicles came out of necessity.

I spent the entirety of my adult life touring North America as a standup comic, and I needed to get to work. My work happened to be scattered throughout the continent while most other people worked in a single location.

According to a different survey, the average American drives 30-45 minutes to work an 8-10 hour shift at a typical job.

Being an entertainer is exactly the opposite. I typically would drive 8-10 hours to work a 30-45 minute “shift.” Either way, the amount of time used up was the same.

What caused me to go through so many vehicles was the fact that for the longest time I couldn’t get a car loan. I didn’t realize it then, but it makes perfect sense now. Most names of comedy clubs are closely associated in some way with mental illness like “Zanies,” “Wacko’s,” “The Nut House,” and “The Loony Bin.” Providing this list of names to potential creditors is a death knell.

As I was coming up the ranks in the comedy business, my civilian friends were all scoring car loans and rubbing it my face. On average their monthly payments were somewhere around $300. For that amount of money they were able to have the peace of mind and security of a reliable and fully functioning product – even though they only needed to travel a short

distance every day.

I on the other hand was forced into a position of tempting the fates. I too had a $300 budget for my vehicle each month, only I was forced to purchase an entire car for that price hoping beyond hope it would last me at least 30 days – which more than a few did not. It was ultimate gambling.

Those rattle traps were at the end of their lives, and I tried to milk as many miles out of them as humanly possible. It would be like the equivalent of entering

one’s grandparents in a kickboxing tournament.

Something important IS going to break. It’s just a matter of what, when and where.

And break they did – from sea to shining sea.

I can’t think of a part or system on a car that I’ve not had go out on me, and at the worst possible time. Not that there’s ever a good time. Nobody I ever met jumps out of bed on a sunny day and says “This would be a fine day to drop a tranny.”

It just happens – and then it has to be dealt with. Can the car be saved, or does it need to be left at the side of the road as a gift of scrap metal to a particular state? I’ve done that way too often.

Sometimes I would luck out a little, and have a car I paid $300 for last me several months. This was not always ben-

eficial, as I would tend to get cocky and avoid maintenance thinking I’d take my chances and maybe be able to save a few bucks. Sure enough, not long after...they would die.

One thing I seriously regret was having a long time policy of buying American. Yes I love my country, but we didn’t build the best cars during the 70’s and 80’s – which is mostly the era that I was choosing from.

I was a rescuer of stray pets that all were born near a nuclear power plant.

When I first started with my theory, I wasn’t particularly partial to brand or maker. I’d buy any and all cars I could afford at any time. Mistake. I quickly learned that GM, Ford and Chrysler all produced duds and that I was a magnet for acquiring them. I was usually the second to last owner of a car before the junk yard, but I had to get to work to chase my dream so I kept on doing it.

I owned a Chrysler Cordoba for a while. That was quite the prestigious car in the ‘70s. Unfortunately, I owned mine around 1992. That’s like dating a Playboy centerfold 20 years past her prime. The only thing to do is close your eyes and try to remember the glory years, but that’s a stretch.

The Cordoba had commercials by Ricardo Montalban that touted the “rich, Corinthian leather” of the car’s interior. I have to say those were the most comfortable seats I ever sat in as I waited for the

tow truck to come and get me. Looking back, I should have saved them and used them in my apartment.

I also owned a Ford Country Squire station wagon. I never understood the design strategy that was used in designing this particular car. It had fake wood paneling down both sides of the car, and I never understood why. Who was it ever supposed to fool, near sighted woodpeckers?

Another car that stands out is the Chevy Citation. Now there’s a great marketing idea – let’s name a car after a traffic violation! The new Pontiac “D.U.I.” should be a big seller as well. It always amazed me that a company that could come up with a Corvette, Camaro and Chevelle also trotted out the Chevette, Citation and Corvair. Maybe they should try another letter than C. Driving a beater vehicle causes one to possess a completely different mindset than a “normal” driver. There are always extra perils to consider. First, a beater driver has to be aware of smells. If there is any kind of odd odor it may mean something under the hood is about to malfunction.

Parking often becomes even more difficult for the beater owner because not one but two spaces are needed for secure parking. One is for the vehicle, and the other needs to be right in front of it for the tow truck. Trying to push a car out of a parallel parked spot can result in serious injury.

Also, the driver of a beater can never afford to give the finger in traffic because any one of the other drivers may have to be called upon for a jump start at any given time. One needs to make as many friends as possible for future reference. Courtesy takes on a much higher priority.

I still haven’t decided if I’m proud of the fact I have owned that many vehicles, but I have, and that’s that. My fantasy always has been to someday drive a car built in the same decade in which I live.

ENTERTAINMENT // NICK OLIG

Saved by the Blue Ribbon

BY NICK OLIG When Joel was asked to pick the most interesting thing that happened to him on December 28th, 2013, he felt the answer was obvious.

“I got shot. By a bullet.” He paused, grinned, and added, “From a gun.”

That marked the first and only time he has been shot by a bullet from a gun, but compared to what transpired next, that part of the story is pretty mundane.

Ultimately, Joel got shot by a bullet from a gun, sure, but the impact was minimal.

It just made a bruise. Joel was saved. By a Pabst Blue Ribbon belt buckle...from his wardrobe.

When I call Joel from the parking lot of a Piggly Wiggly, I know his place is nearby, but I’m lost and frustrated by the task of finding a farmhouse in the darkness. He says not to worry and gives me directions, even rides on his four-wheeler a good distance to the highway to ensure that I won’t drive past Gudex Lane a second time.

We chat before the interview. His Miniature Pinscher Alice Malice trots beside him as we feed sticks to a bonfire that illuminates a fraction of the surrounding countryside. We go inside the garage when it starts to drizzle. Plus that’s where he keeps the mini-fridge.

Joel is known for his love of punk rock, but I’ve also seen him croon along with Dean Martin at parties. On this occasion, however, he’s got satellite radio tuned into a classic rock station. I leaf through my notebook and crack open a Pabst. As he loads charcoal into a grill, I overhear Joel parroting a Billy Joel lyric: “I never said I was a victim of circumstance.”

We were going to see about that as soon as I pressed the record button.

“My mind reels thinking about what percentage of your body was shielded by the belt buckle,” I say. “It’s got to be less than one percent, right?”

“I’d say less than one tenth of one percent,” Joel estimates. “And you’ve got to keep in mind, the bullet didn’t come in and hit the belt buckle like it was a shield. It came in from the side. What stopped it was

that little metal loop, that ring that holds the buckle to the belt. Which is even crazier. That’s two millimeters of metal instead of the whole credit card-sized thing.”

This revelation did nothing to steady anybody’s reeling mind. Joel explained: On his walk home from the Main Pub in

Fo n d du Lac, he was headed north when he “heard a bunch of shouting coming up from the intersection” of Main and Second. Moments later, he saw two combative groups, one comprised of three African-Americans and the other of two Caucasians. (Joel later learned that the dispute centered on a young woman.

Figures.)

Somebody had brandished a firearm, which was really stupid. Sensing trouble, his two friends pulled him away from the fray, pleading, “Come on, let’s go!” The two Caucasians who stood outside of a bar on Second Street took exception to the display of a deadly weapon. “I can’t believe you just did that!” one shouted. And so they actually pursued an angry, gun-wielding drunk. It cannot be overstated that this too was a really stupid thing to do.

Stuck unwittingly in the cross hairs of bar-time idiocy, Joel proceeded on his way.

He spotted a flickering red dot aimed from one faction to the next. The two white guys crossed the street to confront the three black guys. Then Joel heard a POP. “I knew right away it was a gun,” he says. “‘Cause I shoot guns for a hobby.”

It’s worth relaying that the incident had no discernible impact on Joel’s feelings about guns. He’s still quite fond of them,

L10 | SceneNewspaper.com | Green Bay • De Pere | July 2015

as evidenced by his recent assassination of a can of shaving cream.

“So, I’m like, ‘Holy s---, that was a f------ gunshot,’” he goes on. “As I’m processing that, I heard the second shot. And I immediately felt it.”

The man with the .380 had lousy aim.

The bullet pierced the cold night air at a speed of about a thousand feet per second with Joel in its way.

“I just stood there, putting pressure against that area, ‘cause I wasn’t sure if I was bleeding or not. And I got furious.

‘Seriously?! That’s how this is going down?’

Finally, I was scared to look, but I pulled up my jacket... and the belt buckle fell down. The bullet fell out behind it.”

This inanimate hunk of metal that might have saved his life fascinates me.

“Do you have the belt buckle now?” I inquire.

“Nope, it’s still sitting in the evidence locker at the police station. Mr. Wilcox has exercised his right to appeal.”

“Just to keep the belt buckle away from you?”

“Absolutely,” he deadpans. “I have little doubt he’s being paid by Blatz.”

“How did you obtain the belt buckle?”

“I forget if it was a birthday present or a just-because present, but it was from an ex-girlfriend.”

A “just-because present”? She must be somebody else’s keeper.

Here we have proof of the adage: “‘Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.”

I forget who said that, but I do know that Joel is a Trekkie, so let’s just say it was Mr. Spock.

“Let me lay this on you,” I say.

“Would it be practical of them to make body armor out of Pabst belt buckles?”

“Well, I think it’s clear that it

worked once,” he allows.

It’s not practical. We discuss other matters. Like beer.

“After that crazy night, how did that ensuing Pabst taste?”

“That happened at about 6:30 in the morning when the detective dropped me off from the cop shop after they questioned me,” he recalls. “Cracked open a beer and stayed up until noon, ‘cause I wasn’t tired anymore. Walking through that door... I can FEEL it, right now. The joy. I was OK, and I was getting dropped off at my house, not the hospital.”

(Mere hours after his moment of joyous relief, he was ambitiously hunted down by a crew from Fox 11 News, causing Joel to quip, “We should have sent you guys after bin Laden!”)

“Did you get any free Pabst?” I ask.

“I was hoping for at least a year’s supply.

Or just give me a PBR credit card that’s only good for Pabst,” he chuckles. “But I got a box with a sweatshirt and a Frisbee and stuff like that. Some socks...”

“You got a Frisbee out of the deal?!”

“Yeah, it was the kind of trivial crap that they give to everybody. I’m not sour about it... But my buddy sent in his artwork to Pabst, and he got the same box. And it was just Clip Art! I mean, he arranged it quite nicely and there’s definitely some skill involved, but dammit, I got SHOT.” To get back to that unbelievable gunshot, consider this: Joel’s chasm between good luck and bad was a matter of two inches. But the bullet narrowly missed his

ENTERTAINMENT // NICK OLIG

manhood and so the tone of our talk was a helluva lot more cheerful.

“I’d like to thank gravity for holding that thing out of the way,” he declares.

If it were me, I’d also thank that winter’s bitter cold. Smaller target!

Onto more mature matters.

“Do you know anyone with a story similar to yours?” I ask. “Is there a support group?”

“I did read about one because I’m only human. I Googled. There was only one other guy. Some gas station clerk in Pennsylvania, maybe six months before my shooting. Except it was a regular belt.”

Someone else comes to my mind. A cartoon character. In the “Homie the Clown” episode of ‘The Simpsons,’ Ned Flanders is shot twice by sniper fire meant for Homer.

Flanders is saved twice. First by a Bible he keeps over his heart and then by a piece of the true cross...

“I was waiting for you to bring up ‘The Simpsons,” he snickers.

I have a reputation.

“You’re saying the belt buckle was like my Bible / cross?” he asks me. That is what

I’m saying. “Well, I do love Pabst, but Ned Flanders was the last thing on my mind. I know with you, it’d be the first thing.”

Gracefully or not, we were on the topic of faith, which led to the question I most wanted to ask him.

“Did you think what happened was a case of divine intervention or extraordinary luck?”

“Personally, I chalk it up to luck,” he says unsentimentally. “Had I been a step behind or a step ahead, it wouldn’t have hit me. I almost find it to be bad luck. But a lot of people chalk it up to divine intervention. You remember Eric Dietrich?”

“Eric was the tie that bound his friends together. His smile and unique sense of humor touched the lives of everyone he met. He is greatly missed.”

That’s an excerpt from his obituary. He passed away on November 15th, 2008.

Eric and Joel were kindred souls.

“Everybody says, ‘Eric was looking out for you.’ But I don’t believe in God. I don’t believe in the afterlife. With Eric, though… maybe I’d make an exception for him. I like to believe that if anyone is out

Did You Know

there, it’s him. It’s a struggle, because he was my best friend, so I’d like to think he was there. But at the core, I don’t believe in that stuff—and scientific, tangible evidence tells me that I’m right.”

“Yeah, but not everything is tangible,” I point out.

“Absolutely,” he says. “And that’s why there’s so much…gray area.”

He lets out an exhausted laugh as he says these last two words. He smears his palm against his face, troubled by the mystery more so than most of us. It’s a lot easier to ask questions about the unknowable than to answer them, and so I change the subject.

“Are you a big hero?” I ask. “Or the BIGGEST hero?”

“Pffft! I wouldn’t call myself a hero because I didn’t protect anybody. But if I was forced to call myself a hero, what the hell, I’d call myself the biggest hero.”

Well played! Who could argue with that?

On the drive home I dwell on Joel’s rejection of the miracle more so than anything else. He’s right about science and luck, but I feel empty wishing there was

more. I want to believe in miracles like kids and saints do. Whether it’s salvation by a beer belt buckle or God, sometimes it pays to have faith in the unlikely.

When I listen to the playback of our interview, I notice Tom Petty in the background commanding, “Breakdown, go ahead and give it to me” at about the same time I ask my first question. “Big Shot” cues while Joel describes what it’s like to be shot. Choir boys begin singing “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” in angelic falsettos as he discusses his departed friend.

My bright, gruff, tough, hilarious, Pabst-swigging pal would probably chalk that up to coincidence. Whereas a daydreaming dope like me craves a deeper meaning. I can’t fall asleep that night until I replay the part of his take on faith.

“If there’s a God and you believe in God, then ‘slag’ off and let Him take care of it.”

The Gospel according to Joel. Pabst be with you.
