One of the highlights of every summer in Wisconsin is the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) Air Venture, taking place July 20 through July 26th in Osh-kosh’s Wittman Field.

The event attracts pilots, planes and aviation enthusiasts from all over the globe, many of them taking up residence in the EAA campgrounds for the week.

While the daily air shows and the Monday night concert are known to almost everyone, but the opening night concert at EAA AirVenture is just one of a variety of family attractions and entertain-ment that are part of the week-long event. These added activities, ranging from night air shows to entertainment, are nearly all included with EAA AirVenture admission. They are in addition to the hundreds of aviation forums and workshops, special presentations, and aviation exhibits avail-able at Oshkosh.

Perhaps not as well-known is that EAA’s music offerings alone are worth the price of admission and local fans are encouraged to set up camp and make it a “staycation.”

“Camping at EAA allows ones to immerse oneself in the entire culture,” said EAA Communications Director Dick Knapinski. “It’s not just what happens during the day, the scheduled events, but meeting the aviators from around the world, making new friends, seeing old friends. That family reunion aspect is a big part of it. We encourage people to experi-ence the whole event either as part of drive-in camping or as one of the many people who camp next to their planes.”

If you’re camping, you won’t have to drive home after the traditional big concert opening.

Dierks Bentley, who has rocketed to the top tier of country music’s hitmakers, will get EAA AirVenture week off to a great start when he headlines the fly-in’s popular opening night concert on Monday, July 20. The concert, presented by Ford Motor Company with additional support from Cirrus Aircraft, is free to all EAA AirVen-ture attendees that day and will be held on Boeing Plaza following the afternoon air

show.“Dierks Bentley is a superb choice for

our opening night concert not only because he is one of music’s brightest stars, but also because he is an avid pilot who has been to Oshkosh before enjoying the sights and sounds as an aviation enthusiast,” said Rick Larsen, EAA’s vice president of communi-ties and member programs. “Dierks brings the energy and enthusiasm that comple-ments the full week of aviation excitement that will be featured at EAA AirVenture.”

Ford Motor Company is also very happy to have Bentley on the stage.

“Ford is proud to be the exclusive automotive partner with EAA for 15 years and pleased to enhance the experience for everyone attending EAA AirVenture Oshkosh,” said Edsel B. Ford II, member of the Ford Motor Company Board of Directors. “Since 2006 we’ve helped bring some of the biggest names in music history to the stage at Oshkosh to kick off avia-tion’s annual reunion, and we’re eager to have Dierks Bentley join that roster for the opening night concert.”

Bentley, an ACM top male performer nominee, is seven albums into one of country music’s most respected and most unpredictable careers. His latest evolu-tion comes in the form of his critically acclaimed and No. 1 selling album RISER, which has already spawned two consecu-tive No. 1 hits with I Hold On and Drunk On A Plane. His latest single Say You Do is now climbing the Top 10 charts.

Bentley’s six previous studio albums have sold more than five million copies, notched 12 chart-topping singles, and earned 12 Grammy nominations. Addi-tionally, Bentley is the most nominated male artist for the ACM Awards with seven nominations including Single Record of the Year for Drunk On A Plane, Vocal Event of the Year for The South, Video of the Year for Drunk On A Plane, Song of the Year for I Hold On, Album of the Year for RISER, and Male Vocalist of the Year.

In addition to Bentley, EAA welcomes four bands ranging from local to interna-tional fame—the Little River Band, I’m Not a Pilot, The Presidents, and Hotel California “A Salute to the Eagles”—to its

main stage evening lineup for EAA Air-Venture Oshkosh 2015.

The Little River Band, presented by Quest Aircraft, is scheduled to perform Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The Aus-tralian rock band, which became popular in the U.S. during the 1970’s and ‘80’s, has sold more than 30 million albums and CDs since its formation. Their most popu-lar hits in America include “Help Is on Its Way,” “Happy Anniversary,” “Reminisc-ing,” “Lady,” “Cool Change,” and “Lone-some Loser.”

Performing Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. is I’m Not A Pilot, one of the fastest-rising indie rock bands from Mil-waukee and winner of the Best Rock Band award by Milwaukee’s Shepherd Express Weekly in 2010, 2011, and 2013.

The Presidents will perform Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m., presented by American Airlines. The band formed in Wisconsin’s Fox Valley - Michael Underwood, drums, Dave Jerabek, bass, John Cary, lead guitar and Devin Muncin handling the lead vocals as well as keyboards and guitars - is one of the most requested party bands in the state. They will bring the party to EAA.

“It’s pretty simple. Planes are cool,” Underwood said. “There is nothing like playing or listening to music with fighter planes flying around your head.”

The Lt. Dan Band, led by actor and veterans’ activist Gary Sinise, will perform on Friday to cap EAA’s Salute to Veterans Day, then AirVenture wraps on Saturday night from 6:30 to 8 p.m. with Hotel Cal-ifornia: A Salute to The Eagles, presented by Ford Motor Company. Hotel California is internationally recognized for its repro-duction of Eagles hits such as “Take It Easy,” “Love Will Keep Us Alive,” and the song that inspired the band’s name, “Hotel California.”

Those who have been to EAA previ-ously or have an “inside source” will also be on the lookout for impromptu perfor-mances by The Flying Music Association, and group of aviation enthusiasts and pilots who play as well as they fly.

NEWS & VIEWS // MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING

BY LORI PALMERI

As of 2014, over 57 million Americans lived in multigenerational households and the population living in multigenerational housing has doubled since 1980. That’s 18.1% of the population, according to PEW Research Center analysis of U.S.

Census data. This arrangement spiked during the 2007 – 2009 Great recession. That number continues to grow even since the recession.

Before the invention of the “retirement

home” and two-income households, fami-lies took care of aging parents “in-house.” And, today many grandparents are raising grandchildren, or not-quite-empty-nesters get boomerang kids coming home. In our household, we have four generations that receive various levels of care and support from one main house and two very busy

people on one income. We have had a revolving door of young and old for short and long term periods. The struggle is, we live in a pre WWII home with steep stairs, an upstairs bathroom, and no room in the cen-tral city cramped lot to build an addition. But even if we did have the space, is that the

answer? While we love the character

home and its beautiful woodwork, creaky 100 year old hardwood floors, and charm-ing gracious staircase, we have started looking for something we never thought would cross our lips – a snout-house ranch. Yes, the attached garage, all one level sprawling space, with a hopefully finished

mid-century Wisconsin family room in the basement. There, I said it. We are out.

Why look for something else, why not remodel? Because grandma is in a wheelchair and can’t get into our house now or up the steps to the bathroom. And grandpa, 86 just lost his wife of 60 years out east. We made the decision to take him in if he wishes. With bedrooms upstairs, how do we accomplish this ambitious tra-ditional task unless we move.

The conflict is that our neighbor-hood is quite walkable and convenient to everything we love about living in colorful quirky artsy downtown. We love that the farmer’s market is steps just around the corner, the riverwalk is an 8 minute walk from our front door, my husband walks to work at UW Oshkosh, (as do several of our neighbors) and is in great health because of it. A post office, pharmacy, hardware and groceries are in the immediate vicinity. My workshop is nearby and we love gallery walk and all the downtown riverfront and lake have to offer. What isn’t walkable is certainly bike-able in fair weather. While we thought we were going to be downsiz-ing, what we really need is reconfiguration and accessible housing for less mobile persons.

What we realized, is that our options are limited in the city we have established roots in. Over 30% of homes in the Oshkosh housing stock of 27,000-plus, are

these pre-WWII homes, many of which are two story with stairs and difficult to navigate for limited mobility folks. While Oshkosh recently enacted new residential design guidelines, Universal Design (tar-geted to accessibility) was not even on the radar. If we draw a walkable circle around UW Oshkosh, which happens to be the older part of the city, we are pushed into higher cost lake homes or across the river – not so walkable for our work. There are a few of these types of homes still affordable, but they are more bike-able than walkable and slightly out of the price range we wish to spend with modest resources.

Enter the concept of multigenerational household.

What exactly is multi-generational household? It is a family household that contains at least two adult generations or a grandparent and at least one other genera-tion.

A variety of factors contribute to the increase in multigenerational living, according to the Pew Research Center. Primary motivators for individuals of senior age are health issues and economic concerns. The Milwaukee Journal ran a feature on this issue and posed the ques-tion, “Why are families making this change? The cost of assisted living often prompts families to give multigenerational living a try. Assisted living is approximately $4,500 per month… according to a senior living community in Greendale. Many of their residents come from multigenera-tional households. “That is a good solution for some families,” she said. In Oshkosh, Colony Oaks ran as high as $3,900 per month and that was two years ago when I last checked. How does that work for someone on Social Security of $700 a month? There are only so many subsidies available for housing with long waiting lists and (paid) in-home care can bankrupt the most frugal savers.

Pros and ConsIn the MJS article, some downsides

and upsides were discussed, “Generations

Is Multigenerational Housing Needed in Oshkosh for the “Sandwich” Generation?

Before Sharing a Multigenerational Home, You’ll Want toDiscuss expectations and responsibilities before the move: Who’s

going to pay what bills for current and future expenses? Which areas are communal space and which are private? Are there family rules for laundry, TV, cleaning, cooking, opposite-sex sleepovers?

Discuss parental responsibilities with other siblings: What will they do — take Dad to doctors, pay his bills online, offer respite care?

Include age-friendly and privacy features if renovating or building:Consider wider doorways, brighter lighting, grab bars, low-pile carpeting and a separate space for additional family mem-bers. Find out if there are zoning restrictions for attached dwellings.

Divvy up chores: If possible, let family members choose the ones they want.

NEWS & VIEWS // MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING

living under one roof can be a multifaceted challenge. Defining one’s physical and emotional space tops the list. When the Sells first moved in with their grandmother, there was an adjustment period. “There was some fighting, but now my grandma and I get along like two peas in pod,” Tammy Sell said. “We do not feel like she is an add-on. She is part of the family.” Though mul-tigenerational living challenges are to be expected, the joys are many. “As a model, it’s brilliant,” Spinelli said. “It teaches the whole family you have familial responsibil-ity to be there for one another. You see the ripple effect … over generations the lesson is, ‘What’s the right thing to do for your family?’”

If you call Winnebago County ADRC (Aging and Disability Resource Center) to ask what our area has in the way of sup-porting multigenerational housing, you will get a question in answer to your ques-tion, “Have you referred to our website, list of housing options and seniors”, with an emphasis on lists of in- home care. But right now they (ADRC) are advocating for State budgetary items that threaten their existence.

Nationwide Designing for the Generations

According to the AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) website, builders and remodelers are ready to support the growing trend [for multigen-erational housing]. “Want or need to stay put? The number of certified aging-in-place specialists who help older folks remain safely at home has more than doubled to nearly 5,000 since 2008. And the construc-tion of new houses has started to get off the

ground again. Some builders have begun offering two master suites, a den or family room that can be converted into a bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, and other “bonus areas” with flexible space that can change with family needs. A two-car garage might shrink to one car and the extra area morph into living space for a grandparent or boomerang kid. Builders and remodelers are offering universal design features (wider hallways and doors, good lighting, few or no steps) that work for a baby stroller or a wheelchair. Some builders are installing infrastructure for future bathroom grab bars and stacking closets for down-the-road elevators.

In 2011, national builder Lennar intro-duced its first Next Gen house in Phoenix, geared to more than one generation. Now Lennar offers more than 50 Next Gen floor plans in 120 communities in California, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Texas, New Jersey, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina.

Next Gen’s concept is two houses in one: The main home has three or four bed-rooms, and there’s an attached unit with its own front entrance, kitchen, bedroom, living space and garage.

Perfect for an aging parent (or lucky nanny or guest, or as a man cave), it’s typi-cally one-fifth the size of the main house. An adjoining inner door can be left open so the house can be one big home or, when closed, two residences.” Unfortunately, this type of home would not be possible in single family dwelling zones of Oshkosh.

Image Source: http://new-homes.lennar.com/promo/Minnesota/NextGen/

Culturally, multigenerational house-holds are nothing new. As immigration has increased, so too have multigenerational

households. According to the PEW report, “The long-term increase in multi-generational living since 1980 also reflects the country’s changing racial and ethnic compo-sition. Racial and ethnic minorities generally have been more likely to live in multi-generational family arrangements, and their numbers have grown with increased immigration since the 1970s. In 2012 about

one-in-four Hispanics and blacks lived in a multi-generational household. Asian Americans were the most likely of the major racial and ethnic groups to live in multi-generational arrangements (27%). By comparison, 14% of non-Hispanic whites lived with multiple generations of family. The racial and ethnic patterns of multigenerational living were fairly similar in 1980. That year, racial and ethnic minorities made up 20% of the popula-tion; today they account for 37%”.

In closing, I find the research on this leaves more questions than answers on the topic. As our demographics change, should our planning for housing stock in Oshkosh keep up with the changes? Does the City’s Strategic Plan of “supporting strong neigh-borhoods” or creating healthy neighbor-hoods, put the shifting population facts in perspective and prioritize being a great place to “live, work, and play”. How many multigenerational households do we have in the area? While local developers have taken advantage of Low Income Housing Tax Credits to build senior housing, how feasible is it for grandma to continue living alone before we ship her off to a nursing home at $7,000 a month or assisted living at $4500 a month? So, in Oshkosh, Wis-consin, are we to send granny out on the ice flows of Lake Winnebago in the winter,

or can we say we are ready to face the fact that our aging population are lacking housing options. We might just have some mutual benefits from bunking up among other senior housing options.

Can we learn from Asian, Hispanic/Latino, or African or Native American cul-tures about this living arrangement? I look forward to my grandchildren hearing first generation immigrant stories of coming to America and not having to schedule a visit to the “retirement home.” They deserve dignity in their fragile golden years and multigenerational families that can manage to live on the same premises, should be able to construct such a scenario. Do our City ordinances allow for, support, or discour-age multigenerational living. As the zoning code rewrite project gets reviewed, do you support a vision which provides ease of this arrangement. Contact your City Council representatives, take a few minutes and write a letter or attend citizen statements on the 2nd or 4th Tuesday Council meet-ing. Contact the City Planning Depart-ment about your needs as they coordinate a Zoning Ordinance re-write.

FOOD & DRINK // BREWMASTER

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 choos-ing 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 hop-ping”. 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

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 person-ally 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 com-mented that it finishes almost like a lemon-

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 legisla-tors 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 rain-fall, Surly opened their doors to an amazing facility that truly is a destination. Brewery, beer hall, restaurant, banquet hall and amaz-ing 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!

OVERRATED!

FOOD & DRINK // FROM THE WINE CAVE

BY KIMBERLY FISHER

V i v a La France! F r 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 per-cent 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

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 col-lectively 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-

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 non-toasted 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.

Trish’s Delicious Avocado ToppingI 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!

Burger Time!

THE SOURCE

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

A c t o r / h u m a n i t a r i a n / m u s i c i a n 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 Detec-tive 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 eventu-ally led to his great passion for working to support veterans and veterans’ service orga-nizations 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 serv-ing 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 Entertain-ment 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

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 produc-tion 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

GATHER

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 Founda-tion 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 Septem-ber 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 sev-eral 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 veter-ans in the past?

GS: Let’s look in retrospect. I’m moti-vated 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 ser-vice or go off to serve your country, you get shot at, you see your buddies get killed or wounded, you struggle with long deploy-ments 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 govern-ment 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

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 shak-ing 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 call-ing 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.

ENTERTAINMENT // SHORT BRANCH

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 com-fortable dance floor.

Continuing past the stage and heading outside, it opens up into a large big-tree-shaded lawn with eight picnic tables, an outdoor stage and a bar that can accom-modate up to 200 hundred people com-fortably.

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 ta lent with-out a cover charge or overpriced drinks.”

“I’ve got to give a shout o u t t o o u r owner, Lorrie Davis,” Rothe added, “for provid-ing us with a great vision and the support to accomplish great things. Music is our number one priority and, not only 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 high-lights to mark on your

calendars is our annual corn roast,

July 11th, with many great b a n d s

head l ined b y T h e 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 cur-

rent 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 Show-case 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.

SAWDUST DAYS


NEWS & VIEWS // MEDIA RANTS

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 oppos-ing 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 them-selves.

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. Newspa-per 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 Nich-ols 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 follow-ing. 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 Rhetori-cal 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, organiza-tion, and language to overcome challenges making persuasion difficult. Those chal-lenges 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 cur-rent 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 intel-ligent 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 stu-dent 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 Shake-speare) 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.

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 argu-ably 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 choos-ing 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 intoxicat-ing 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 Span-ish 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 styl-ish piano augmented by rhythmic guitar and includes sweet chord, tempo and mood changes. Her vocal sets an emotion-ally 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 of “Unresolved.”

She is very pleased with the sound and

feel of the entire album and a newly discov-ered 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,” she continued, “this is my first album on ‘that board’ - Vin-tage analog 30 channel API Aengus Model 73- one of only two ever made. Play it through a set of old beastly analog speakers and the cellos will dance around the room

while I whis-per the lyrics in your ear. It is sometimes unnervingly i n t i m a t e . 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.

MY DESIRE OF YOU CD Review


ROBERTA HOMES


ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION

BY GEORGE HALAS

The Inquisition and those in-the-know in northeast Wisconsin have known for some time that Jamie Lyn Fletcher is one of the best and most creative singer-musician-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 influ-ential 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 encour-aged me to continue testing the album in a more international realm,” Fletcher said. “I will not rest on the laurels of the nomina-tion, though. You are only as good as what you produce right now.”

“It is such an honor to have this nomination,” she said, “but an even bigger honor to have fans support their favorite independent music, uncontrolled by com-merciality and written for quality-minded 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 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. It was impos-sible 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 pigeon-holed because it is just ‘music,” she noted. “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, 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,” she said. “Vienna is so rich in history, architecture, music, and art; every-one loves live entertainment.”

“Their tastes in 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,” she continued. “Poodle skirts and bobby socks are a rave in many clubs now, but there is a burgeon-ing 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.”

“London is 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,” she recalled. “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 self-proclaimed ‘amateur band’ (one is consid-ered 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 differ-ent 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

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, administra-tor 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 ser-endipitous 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 chat-ted 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 Kato-balavu 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

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 water-front. A Joint Effort Marketing grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism was writ-ten, 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 show-cases 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 art-ists 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 listen-ing 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

Midnight. 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 Kris-tina 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, Sun-splash festivals are known for the Reggae mes-sage 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 dub-based 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 Hal-brook 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 enter-tainment 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 avail-able online at www.midwestsunsplash.com and at the door the day of the event. Children 10 and under are free.

Our sense of history, especially how it affected local ancestors, is often distorted by Hollywood movies, theatrical productions and television pro-grams. On view from July 26 to October 18, this exhibition tells the real story of this awkward period and allows visitors to experience a fascinating look into this transitional time.
