Dear Reader, This Memorial Day, we have a front row seat to another country’s struggle to achieve the freedoms our soldiers fought and died for. The bravery of the men and women in our armed forces is mirrored in the courage of our Ukrainian brothers and sisters as they fight a much more powerful adversary for their very existence. Let strength support strength. Our nation is the most powerful on earth. We have the opportunity – some would even say the obligation – to support and encourage those who, like us, would breath freedom and taste liberty. No country can be allowed to rape, brutalize, and destroy peaceful and innocent civilians and children. If we all must die to protect one another’s freedom from inhumane monsters that if left alone would ravage all of the beauty of the earth, then let’s go together. PATRICK J. WOOD PUBLISHER Author of “Dear Reader” and “Tapestry of Love and Loss”

CONTROVERSY The Wausau School Board draws controversy over changes to its sex ed policy A flurry of anger toward the Wausau School Board erupted this week, over policy changes that caused a lot of confusion in the community. At the heart of the controversy were changes made to the board’s policy on Human Growth and Development, as many might have known as sex ed. The proposed policy changes on first blush appeared pretty significant, but a deep look showed most of the changes were cosmetic and removed sections were mostly rewritten elsewhere. A statement sent to several media outlets stated that there were no changes to the current policy, and that all crossed out sections were added elsewhere. And, the district in a statement said the policy meant no changes to the school’s curriculum. That same report, and a video by Superintendent Keith Hilts, said early media reports contained misinformation. The changes came from legal consultant Neola, meant to comply with new state statutes and mirror the language more closely. That was supposed to help more easily identify changes to state statutes in the future, making it easier to comply with state law. A section in the policy that addressed education around contraception was crossed out under the revised changes and did not appear elsewhere in the document. City Pages inquired about that particular section and how it conflicts with the school district. District officials responded that none of the changes would result in curriculum changes. Several people speaking at Monday’s school board executive operations committee meeting asked if the district wasn’t planning any changes to the curriculum, then why make the changes in the first place? Many school board members, most of them now conservatives, agreed. School Board President James Bouche said if it’s true that none of the changes impacts the curriculum,
then why make the changes if they upset the community? “I don’t want the community to think we’re not going to teach about contraceptives,” Bouche said Monday. Ultimately staff was directed to add in the section on contraceptives and add the sections that comply with state statutes. Staff will also change a section that would have required school employees to report any municipal citation as well as criminal charges. That seemed excessive, Board Member Lance Trollop told the committee.
Social worker position for the homeless passes A new social worker who will work with the homeless population will replace the sworn officer position the city created two years ago. The city council and finance committees both approved using American Rescue Plan Act dollars to fund the Community Outreach Specialist position. The vote came despite opposition from some advocates of the homeless who objected to it being housed in the police department. Those advocates, speaking before both the finance and city council meetings Tuesday, objected to a video played by Wausau Police Chief Ben Bliven showing officer encounters with homeless individuals downtown. Those advocates said names and faces should have been obscured and having not done so was unfair. Some council members agreed that the position ideally would be housed in a health and human services department, but since no such department exists and because no other department would make sense for the worker, housing it in the police department was the best option. The position approval will cost $140,000, and be funded out of ARPA dollars.
Council rejects ‘dollar store’ deal for parking ramps Wausau will now charge fair market value to the Wausau Center redevelopers if they decide they need to buy the city’s parking ramps. The city’s latest amendment to the agreement with Wausau Opportunity Zone included a provision that the developers had the option of buying the parking ramps for $1. Community Development Director Liz Brodek said it was a purely hypothetical scenario, and most likely the city would continue to operate the ramps. But Ald. Tom Kilian said he didn’t think it was fair to the city to only charge $1 to WOZ, which has demonstrated it has money for other aspects of the project. “If they can come up with all this money for legal fees and expenses, I’m not sure why they only have a dollar in their pocket for the parking ramps,” said Kilian, who called it a dollar store deal. “It cost more for a gallon of gas in Wausau than for multiple parking ramps.”
Finance committee approves firefighter position request Wausau Fire Department Chief Robert Barteck gave a presentation in November with a pretty startling revelation: The fire department staffing levels haven’t changed since the 1970s, though call volume has more than doubled. As a result, Barteck was seeking additional funding for more firefighters. Initially his proposal called for nine new firefighters — that’s now been amended to 12. Nine of those will hopefully be funded by a grant; the remaining three Barteck hopes to fund through American Rescue Plan Act dollars.

The city’s Finance Committee Tuesday, six months since the first request was made, approved using ARPA funding to help fund the firefighters, which eventually would be handled by the levy. Estimates put the cost of those firefighters at roughly $700,000 over two and a half years, at which the idea would be to transition to the levy instead. Ultimately with 12 new firefighters, it would add one firefighter to each engine company in each of the city’s fire stations. That would alleviate situations common now in which far too few firefighters would be available for scenes of fires; eliminate the overtime that’s now mandatory in the department; and help improve ISO ratings, which affect taxpayer’s insurance rates. City Pages analyzed call volumes and learned that call volumes since 2002 had more than doubled.
Police searching for suspect in robbery
Metro Ride says no to busing events due to driver shortages
The Hmong Wausau festival saw record attendance last year, with more than 14,000 attending over the two days. But the city scrapped a shuttle service that would have relieved congestion at the site.
Metro Ride won’t provide shuttles to events this year as it has in the past. Why? Driver shortages. Metro Ride Transit Director Greg Seubert says the bus service is short one-third of its drivers, and can barely maintain the routes it has. It is doing so by having superivisors and even himself driving buses to keep the routes open, he says. Wausau Hmong Festival and Festival of the Arts organizers requested the shuttles. The shuttles have helped keep parking and congestion at those events to a minimum, and made a big difference for Balloon Rally weekend before the event moved out to Stettin. (The Stettin event employs private shuttles leaving from the 400 Block to the Taste N’ Glow event.) But this year, the city’s Transit Commission acted on
Seubert’s suggestion not to provide the shuttles to the events. Doing so takes 7-8 drivers, Seubert says, and drivers are already working overtime to keep the routes manned. Metro Ride also relied on part-time drivers and right now the service doesn’t have any. Seubert says morale is already low in Metro Ride and forcing even more shifts on overworked drivers would further deteriorate morale. Yee Leng Xiong asked the commission to reconsider. The Wausau Hmong Festival event is important to Hmong elders as a means to get out of the house and connect with others, but not having the shuttle would make it difficult on many of them. Xiong told City Pages he understands the decision but that it’s disappointing nonetheless. Xiong says they are seeking alternatives but budgets are already tight.

Wausau Police officials say they’re seeking the suspect in a robbery on Bridge Street Friday. Police responded to a report of an armed robbery at 9:45 am in the 200 Block of Bridge Street. Police didn’t specify the location but that block contains a few businesses. Police says the suspect did not display a firearm but
implied that he had one in his pocket. He demanded money from the business owner, police say. The suspect wore a Green Bay Packers sweatshirt and Pittsburgh Steelers facemask. He also had darked rimmed glasses and wore a gray hat with SAX on it, according to the image police posted on their Facebook page. The robbery is under investigation, police say. Anyone with tips can call police at 715-261-7806 or email the police at policetips@ ci.wausau.wi.us.

Removal REJECTED
GOP activists reject electoral rescinding, removing Vos as speaker
Republican activists on Saturday rejected resolutions calling for Wisconsin lawmakers to recall the state’s electoral votes for Joe Biden and to remove Robin Vos as Assembly speaker. Multiple attorneys have opined that there’s no mechanisms to recall the state’s electoral votes for Biden, who won the state by less than 21,000 votes.
Still, party activists put forward a resolution on Saturday demanding lawmakers rescind the “fraudulent” electors for Biden. Several reviews of the 2020 election have found there was no widespread fraud. That includes a review by the nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau, which also recommended changes to how elections are administered.

The motion was supported by 40.3 percent of delegates. Vos, R-Rochester, also has become a lightning rod with some in the GOP base, particularly those who have raised allegations about the 2020 election.
GOP activists split on Trump, bullish on DeSantis GOP activists are split on whether they want Donald Trump to seek the presidency again in 2024. Even if he does, a plurality preferred Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for the party’s presidential nomination in two years, according to a WisPolitics.com straw poll at this weekend’s state convention. Forty-three percent (141 votes) of those participating in the straw poll said they want Trump to run again, while just less than 32 percent (103) were opposed and 22 percent (72) indicated they were unsure. Viewing a potential 2024 GOP field, nearly 38 percent (122) backed DeSantis. Trump was second at 32 percent (104), while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was a distant third at just more than 7 percent (24). No one else cracked 5 percent.
Dane County judge sets deadline for Vos on election investigation A Dane County judge has given Assembly Speaker Robin Vos until June to ask Michael Gableman to answer questions about records in the former state Supreme Court justice’s 2020 election investigation. Yesterday’s hearing was part of an ongoing lawsuit by the liberal group American Oversight against Vos over open records requests by the Washington, D.C.-based group. Judge Valerie Bailey-Rihn’s order requires
Vos to obtain a sworn affidavit proving he asked Gableman about the records in order to avoid being held in contempt of court a second time. The affidavit requires Vos to ask Gableman to provide evidence he followed the state’s open records law and searched for deleted documents relating to American Oversight’s open records request. If Vos doesn’t obtain the affidavit, BaileyRihn said she would also consider imposing monetary fines. “My biggest concern is I still don’t have anything from Mr. Gableman as to what the heck he did,” Bailey-Rihn said. Previously, Gableman attorney James Bopp in a letter wrote the office of Special Counsel deletes “any unnecessary records” it receives, as well as those determined to be “irrelevant or useless” to the investigation. He also argued in the letter Gableman’s office isn’t bound by the state’s open records law.
Incoming UW chancellor defends free speech record Incoming UW-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin told reporters universities should “create spaces for ideas of all different kinds,” including critical race theory. GOP Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Monday called on the Board of Regents to reconsider Mnookin’s appointment, calling it a “blatantly partisan selection.” One of his complaints about Mnookin was her support for critical race theory. In a virtual press call yesterday, the UCLA Law School Dean introduced herself and fielded questions from reporters with UW System Board of Regents Vice President Karen Walsh. Walsh chaired the search committee that recommended Mnookin. Mnookin said she is a “strong supporter” of free speech on campuses. “I think it’s very important for all ideas to be able to be engaged with and thought about and part of how students and how faculty learn and come to develop their own views,” Mnookin said.
WI unemployment rate still at record low
GOP appointee Bob Spindell, who was one of 10 electors who signed papers falsely claiming Donald Trump won Wisconsin instead of Joe Biden, told WisPolitics. com he “absolutely, positively” will run for chair when the Elections Commission elects new officers on Wednesday. Securing the chair’s spot would require support from at least one Dem member of the commission, and that could be difficult considering the number of clashes Spindell has had with his Dem colleagues during his time on the body. The next chair will serve through the 2022 midterm and in the runup to the 2024 presidential election, when Wisconsin is again expected to be a key state. Under commission rules, the next chair will have to be a Republican after Dem Ann Jacobs held the post for the past two years. Former state Rep. Dean Knudson, a GOP appointee, served as chair before Jacobs took the helm. Under commission rules, the clerk appointees aren’t eligible for the post. That means either Knudson or Spindell, chairman of the 4th Congressional District Republican Party, will serve in the post. Commission rules also require an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of members to approve any action, including selecting a chair. That would mean four votes from the six-member commission, which is split evenly between Dems and Republicans.
Wisconsin’s unemployment rate in April remained unchanged at 2.8 percent, matching the record low rate from March. That’s according to the latest federal data released by the state Department of Workforce Development. The agency’s release shows Wisconsin’s unemployment rate remains below the national rate of 3.6 percent for April. During a media briefing, DWD Chief Economist Dennis Winters said the state has set a new record for overall employment with 3,058,000 people employed, for an increase of 54,800 over the year. Meanwhile, total nonfarm jobs in April remained “about 65,000 jobs short of the pre-COVID peak, but that’s about 98 percent of where we were pre-COVID,” Winters said. He explained the jobs figures and overall employment numbers differ as they come from two different surveys.

N O I N U E R s 90
A local Grunge-era band that made a big splash in 90s is returning after 25 years with a tour and an the album
The news came to me on a Monday morning, in an email with a very improbable headline. In my Monday morning fog, I had to do a double-take to make sure I was seeing things right. The subject line read: “Fuzzdolly reunion - new album to be released in August 2022.” I had to blink a couple of times to make sure I’d seen that right. For those who don’t know, Fuzzdolly was a Stevens Point/Madison band last active in 1997. Some of the members went on to play in Mad Trucker Gone Mad. In the years they were active — 1994 to 1997 — the band put out an impressive seven releases, ranging from 7-inch vinyl records to live recordings and full-length albums. The band was also known for employing a video/visual production group called Super Soar Eye, which lent a unique twist to the shows with projected visuals while the band played and attendees moshed (a dance in the 90s where people basically smashed into each other during the music). Fuzzdolly was one of the favorites in what was a very different era of local music. They played in the days before one could pull up an artist on Spotify or YouTube and get a sense of them, or watch it after a show. A Wausau or Stevens Point teen or older music lover needed to make their way to either Eli’s Mile High Club on the north end of Wausau or the Mission Coffee House in Stevens Point. For teens of that era, it often meant trying to find a ride out there and potentially finding someone else to get a ride back home. The email came from Tim Benn, the drummer for Fuzzdolly. Benn is a 1987 graduate of D.C. Everest and a 1992 graduate of UWStevens Point. Benn led the drumline at D.C. Everest for a time too. Benn asked if I would be interested in the story.

May 26-June 2, 2022
After the happy shock of getting the email wore off, my response was a resounding yes. The absolute improbability of a locally based band from my youth in the 90s not only getting back together, but getting back together to play a series of shows and put together a new album with new material makes for one heck of a story. I had to know what that story was. It turned out that the story arose out of coming together around a tragedy.
A lost member The current and original Fuzzdolly lineup consists of Benn, Shannon Schober, Dennis Jackson and Matt Gillis. After Fuzzdolly split up in the 1990s, each member went their separate ways — and until recently, hadn’t even spoken to each other since. It was an amicable breakup, Benn tells City Pages — everyone just kind of got on with their lives. But there was another member of Fuzzdolly — Dan Dieterich, who played bass for the band in the second half of its life. Dieterich, a graduate of SPASH, also played bass in Mad Trucker Gone Mad, and bass and vocals in the Madison-based band Brainerd. When Dieterich died in 2021, Benn found out about it and it hit him like a ton of bricks. But then it occurred to him that other band members, who’d become geographically separated (Gillis, for instance, lives in Nashville where he’s a professor) might not have heard the news. Benn reached out to the other band members, all of whom had an emotional reaction. “I started crying after he wrote to me,” Gillis says. Gillis, Benn and the other members began to put together a plan to play in honor of Dan, something they hadn’t done as a band in 24 years at that point.
Benn invited everyone to his house in Amherst for a long weekend that summer, to get together, play music and reminisce about Dan. It just happened that Benn had built a home recording studio in his home, and had the perfect space for such a weekend. They call it The Red Room because of its sound absorbers, which are colored red. No one had any idea what to expect, Benn said. “We clicked that first song, as if we’d never stopped playing,” Benn said with amazement. “My wife and I talked about it, she said ‘it’s like you guys were just playing yesterday, like the band never stopped.’ All the energy and aggression was still there.” Aggressive would be a good way to describe Fuzzdolly — imagine early Nirvana before Butch Vig, with snarling furious lead guitar lines and a punchy bass, with a deep guitar sound that Gillis put out by playing his guitar through a bass amp, and you start to get an idea of what Fuzzdolly was all about. It was the age of mosh pits and such, of course. They stayed in touch over Zoom, and started sharing parts back and forth. Gillis asked himself one day if he could write a new Fuzzdolly song. He shared a riff, playing it on his acoustic for the rest of the band, and everyone loved it. The idea grew into more than just playing for Dan — they started to envision a bigger set of shows. And a new album. As it stands, Fuzzdolly now has a set of three shows lined up for August — starting Aug. 11 they’ll play at Whitewater Music Hall (in the interest of full disclosure, I played a hand in helping set up the Whitewater show). They’ll then head to The Encore in Stevens Point the next night, followed by The High Noon Saloon in Madison that Saturday.
Dad rock? If there is one thing Benn is insistent on, it’s that the new version of Fuzzdolly will sound familiar to fans and won’t be some sleepy version of the old act. It’s not ‘oh dad’s getting the old band back together,’ he says. The new album will have eight new tracks and eight 90s Fuzzdolly songs that never got a proper recording back in the day, Benn says. But they’re thinking beyond the new album and set of shows. Benn says they’ve got 23 parts of songs floating around now. With modern technology, geographical separation doesn’t impede the recording or songwriting process like it might have once. Sending files of parts around is a pretty common process among musicians these days, and home recording technologies have gotten much more sophisticated. Fuzzdolly has taken full advantage of that.
Nostalgic reaction I’d put out the news about Fuzzdolly’s reunion on Facebook when I’d come across the news. Many people reacted to the news, particularly folks who were teens in the 1990s and remember the band and the scene the band operated in at the time. “NO WAY! We (Hobnob) played with them on a few occasions,” said Matt Duranceau of The Station. “The Mission Coffee House and Jamnesty to name a couple. Cool!” Another commenter wrote “It actually made me tear up when I read your post.” Benn says he was blown away by the reaction to the news. “It’s amazing that anyone even remembers us after all these years.” Music has changed a lot since the 90s.

Mosh pits at local venues don’t really seem to be a thing anymore. The fast-driving, aggressive music that dominated most of the scene back then has been replaced by a more indie, folksy vibe for most music. Young people didn’t go to bluegrass shows, they wore black and colored their hair purple and went to mosh. (Not that there isn’t hard driving music around any more — check out CASHED for instance. But back then it was most local bands.) And, Benn speculates, there seemed to be a lot more bands. It felt like every block had a band. Push was one block away, Benn says; two blocks away was a band called Edge. “It just seemed like everyone was in a band.” Gillis fondly remembers the shows at Mission Coffee House, which is now Point Area Bicycle Service (which has hosted some music shows in homage to the old Mission). Fuzzdolly used to practice there. “The whole scene was really vibrant and self-made,” Gillis says. “It was really wild, all the mics would get knocked over when the crowd rushed forward. I would get my teeth practically knocked out. It was a really amazing energy and magical friendship between us all.” The band has obviously grown older in those years. Gillis works as a professor. Benn for an insurance company. And their fans are older too. But everyone is ready to recapture their youth a bit as Fuzzdolly re-enters the scene. And for the band, Deiterich will still be with them in spirit. “There is an undertone of Dan in all this,” Benn says. “That’s affected us all.”

Don’t put taxpayers on the hook for student loans
IPCC Report: It’s now or never to avoid climate disaster
Dear Editor, I am against student loan forgiveness on principle. As a taxpayer I don’t want to be on the hook for someone else’s loan. After graduating with my college degree, I budgeted and refrained from major purchases for three years until my loans were paid off. Paying off my loans felt great, almost as great as it felt to walk across the stage at graduation. What happened to taking responsibility for personal decisions? I knowingly signed paperwork that stated the debt I was agreeing to pay back after graduation. Five-digit debt was the consequence, and motivator to work and live on a tight budget until the debt was gone. The first action to take after getting a job after college should be to figure out how fast you can pay off the student loans, instead of accruing more debt, i.e. car loan. Living lean can be boring, however, the payoff is freedom! The Federal Government forgiving student loan debt is an irresponsible use of taxpayer money. Not all taxpayers have taken out student loans. The ones who have paid their loans back do not want to pay back someone else’s loans. For those of you who have student loans, please budget your earnings to pay back your debt. To those of you considering taking out student loans, think about how you are going to pay them back.
Too often we humans fail to plan ahead, or successfully address simultaneous multiple problems, particularly if we are not directly affected. With the ongoing global pandemic, war in Ukraine, and rampant inflation, now comes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Sixth Assessment Report on Climate Change (www.ipcc.ch). This latest Report bluntly warns that it’s now or never to stave off the worst effects of climate change. The conclusion of the planet’s leading scientists is: we must end rising greenhouse gas emissions before 2025 to keep average global heating under 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7F); beyond which severe climate and environmental impacts will increase, adversely affecting billions of people. The bad news is our continuing addiction to fossil fuels is already causing increased property damage, supply chain disruptions, food shortages, and refugee crises. The good news is we know what must be done and have the technology to change current climate trends. The needed changes will be costly, but the cost of inaction will be far greater; for human life and suffering, planetary ecosystems, and money. Climate scientists and economists agree that the cost of change is an investment to avoid the far greater cost of a less livable planet. If we know the consequences of our current habits, and know what must be done, the question is: when will we find sufficient public and political will to do what is needed?

The Wausau Memorial Day Parade Wausau will hold the Annual Memorial Day Parade on Saturday, May 28, 2022. It will start at 10:45 am at Marathon Park and end up at the Opportunity, Inc. building on River Drive— formerly known as the Burns VFW. For many Wausau area residents, their Memorial Day weekend doesn’t officially start until they have lined the streets of Stewart Ave., to see the show. The parade will include floats, bands, our veterans, veteran and area organizations and community leaders. Everyone is invited to walk in the parade. For many people who go out to see the parade every year it means more than just having a good time. The real purpose of Memorial Day is to remember the men and women who have served, fought and died for our country. Following the Parade there will be a ceremony at the Opportunity, Inc. building. Lieutenant Colonel, Ralph Sliwicki will be the Master of Ceremonies and Wausau Mayor Katie Rosenberg will be the Guest Speaker. The event will also include an exercise of the Military Rites and Taps.

The Wausau Area Veterans Committee hosts the parade every year and John Pellegrino, the Honor Guard Commander at the Wausau American Legion Post 10, is the parade coordinator. Please contact John if you would like to walk in the parade. navy2315@gmail.com or 715-551-1039.

THURSDAY 6/2 HIAWATHA RESTAURANT AND LOUNGE, WAUSAU Playing a mix of rock, blues and folk, this singer-songwriter plays a mix of covers and originals for an evening of acoustic guitar virtuosity and great songwriting. Inspired by classic rock music, Kaplan started writing songs and playing guitar at age 12. By age 15 he was performing at coffee shops, restaurants and bookstores. Since moving to Wisconsin in 2015, he’s earned a reputation for his slide and fingerstyle guitar playing and his thought-provoking original songs. Though he’s a solo artist, he achieves a full sound by adding percussion to his vocals and guitar by using a foot stomp box, which has a similar sound to a kick drum. 6 pm. 715-848-5166.

Come see the Wausau Woodchucks kick off their 2022 Season during this home opener game! When the Woodchucks franchise began in 1994, they were known as the Wausau Woodchucks, but later changed their name to Wisconsin Woodchucks. The Northwoods League team announced in February they would be changing their name back to Wausau Woodchucks. Team officials decided it was time to bring that name back and create a new Woodchucks brand with a more modern feel. This home opener game versus Fond Du Lac Dock Spiders will be the first chance to see the Wausau Woodchucks play at Athletic Park since 1998! The first 500 fans through the gates will receive a 2022 magnet schedule. Gates open at 5:35 pm with the first pitch at 6:35. $10-$15. Woodchucks.com.

How to Protect from Claims of Self-Dealing There are a few safe harbor rules that a trustee can follow to ensure that they will not be accused of self-dealing. First, a trustee can engage in an action that might otherwise be categorized as self-dealing if the trust instrument authorizes it. Second, a trustee can seek the approval of the trust beneficiaries for any action or inaction. Finally, a trustee can seek court approval of their actions. Nevertheless, any trustee looking to protect themselves from claims of self-dealing would be wise to avoid any transaction in which they stand to benefit unless the trust instrument specifically authorizes such action or they are transparent about the transaction and the beneficiaries consent to it. If you have questions about the best way to fulfill your trustee duties, contact us. We would be happy to sit down with you and assist you with your role.

THE BUZZ
by B.C. Kowalski
Musical MOSINEE A new venue crafted out of a restored pharmacy building will bring a unique selection of music to central Wisconsin
Capacity is 100 for the venue, but Erickson says the plan is to keep ticket sales to 75. That ought to make the venue a more intimate experience between the audience and the bands he’s pulling in, many who are on their way to bigger cities. “A lot of music managers watch out for the radius of their shows,” Erickson told City Pages. “They don’t want to send their musicians more than a couple of hours away from their last show.” Erickson says that puts Lamplight Sessions in a good radius because of its distance between Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago and Minneapolis. That makes it a good choice for managers looking to fill a space between shows in those cities. The venue will serve food, but they plan to keep food local and simple, with a brick oven. He’s been in discussion with Newchee’s to create simple dishes from a brick oven as part of a guest chef’s challenge, for instance. They plan to sell local beers, mostly Wisconsin but a few Midwest favorites too, and they also plan to offer interesting non-alcohol options such as mocktails made with Siren Shrubs (founded and operated in Stevens Point) and kombucha from local brewers. Erickson says his wife Colby is really into healthy eating and they hope to bring that to the food offerings. The aim is to serve only a few things and the menu could change daily. The venue opening is perhaps timed perfectly. Not only is Mosinee Brewing Co. going strong on the corner, but the Cobblestone Hotel has started construction, and other plans for new businesses are starting to come to fruition in downtown Mosinee. But at Lamplight Sessions, the focus is on music. The show opens June 22 with Daniel Donato, a psychedelic country act out of Nashville. That’s followed by Resonant Rogues, a street jazz/old-time string act from Asheville; and then Mike Clark and the Sugar Sounds, an indie rock act out of Pueblo, Colo. Shows are booked out into September, with 11 acts on the schedule. Check out the full lineup at pinetraveler. com, though content will be migrating to Lamplight Sessions branding eventually. The venu is located at 224 Main Steet, Mosinee.

When the Lamplight Sessions opens next month on Main Street in Mosinee, it’ll have the distinction of having one of the more unique origin stories for a music venue. For one, its first use was as a wedding venue for its owner, Logan Erickson, and his wife Colby. Besides serving as a wedding venue, it was a test of the sound system and acoustics as Erickson hosted TAE and the Neighborly as its wedding band. After much renovation, Erickson is ready to open Lamplight Sessions, a music venue with a lineup that sets it apart from other music venues in the area. Erickson had originally called the venue Pine Traveler until he learned another Wisconsin band with a similar name existed. They reached out and had a conversation with Erickson, and so now it will be called Lamplight Sessions. The building, built in 1910 and once a pharmacy, belonged to Erickson’s father originally, who happens to be the man who founded Mosinee’s LogJam festival. LogJam is in fact where Erickson got his start booking music, along with Isherwood Hall in Portage County. The shows he throws at Isherwood bring an eclectic mix of talent to the small hall with shows that feature local beers and food trucks. The bands he’s booked there are higher-level regional and national acts in the indie scene and ranges from indie pop to bluegrass. Erickson has a love of music and has spent years building up relationships with musicians in the scene, and with practice at Isherwood Hall and LogJam, he’s taken care to make sure he takes care of musicians well. It’s endeared him to them, and it’s made booking shows for Lamplight Sessions that much easier. Shows are already booked into September, according to the venue’s website. Erickson, who also runs a design firm out of the Main Street building (one of his projects is the Community Partners Campus under construction right now on Grand Avenue). He’s been renovating the historic building into a beautiful space. Old pine studs were repurposed into a bar. The second story loft has been restructured and will eventually serve as a residency for traveling musicians. The building has an industrial feel but with a warm ambience that Erickson hopes will make for intimate shows.
