LIVING with

Cystic

 by Faye Burg

T

hey are all around us yet you might not even notice them at all. They are your neighbors and friends, coworkers and others that you interact with every day.

They are the more than 70,000 people worldwide afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis, a progressive, genetic disease that causes persistent lung infections and limits the ability to breathe over time.

CF is a genetic disease and those affected have a defective gene that causes a thick, buildup of mucus in the lungs, pancreas and other organs.

In the lungs, the mucus clogs the airways and traps bacteria leading to infections, extensive lung damage and eventually, respiratory failure.

In the pancreas, the mucus prevents the release of digestive enzymes that allow the body to break down food and absorb vital nutrients.

People with CF have inherited two copies of the defective CF gene, one copy from each parent. Both parents must have at least one copy of the

| /FALL 2016

Fibrosis defective gene. People with only one copy of the defective CF gene are called carriers, but they do not have the disease. Each time two CF carriers have a child, the chances are 25 percent (1 in 4) the child will have CF, 50 percent (1 in 2) the child will be a carrier but will not have CF, and 25 percent (1 in 4) the child will not be a carrier and will not have CF. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Patient Registry, more than 30,000 people are living with cystic fibrosis in the United States with approximately 1,000 new cases diagnosed each year.

Cystic fibrosis is a complex disease and the types and severity of symptoms can differ widely from person to person.

Although treatment plans can contain many of the same elements, they are tailored to each individual’s unique circumstances.

Growing up with their younger brother and sister in the ChiltonStockbridge area, Kaylah Portmann and

Hannah Jeffers have lived with CF their entire lives.

Kaylah, now 26, and Hannah, 25, have learned how to manage the disease and both live very productive lives. Each have their own CF teams of doctors and medical experts who help them with personalized care and individualized treatment plans.

Kaylah enjoys her work as a bilingual customer care representative and has been married to Mohamed Foudah for five years.

“I was diagnosed shortly after being born in 1989,” Kaylah said. “They detected I had CF with the typical newborn screening and sweat test.

My mom and dad were both shocked because I was eating really well and otherwise appeared to be healthy.”

“I think this was shocking for my parents because with CF you look fine from the outside, especially when detected early on,” she added.

“Looking back I think they were terrified, but I really admire them because they never let me see that

I even had CF at all,” she explained.

“As I grew into my teens I struggled with body image just like most teen girls do. Puberty was delayed for me.

This can be pretty typical for both men and women with Cystic Fibrosis. I had just started to manage my digestive symptoms, but a new hurdle came up as my peers were starting puberty and I had not. Aside from not being able to relate to the chatter in the locker room, I also felt, for the first time, that ‘abnormalities’ related to CF were manifesting and made me feel even more “abnormal”.”

fear. Instead they empowered me and taught me that even the sky is not the limit; that I can achieve anything I put my mind to.”

In 1989 the life expectancy for a person with CF was around 14 years of age. “I was not aware that Cystic Fibrosis could shorten your life expectancy until I was a young adult.”

Because living with CF is a normal, day-to-day experience, Kaylah said it is easy to not realize something is different. “The thing about a chronic, genetic illness you are born with, is that it is ‘normal’ to you until someone points out what is abnormal about it,” she explained. “Even though I became aware of these difference as I grew older, I still can’t fully comprehend living my life without Cystic Fibrosis, because I haven’t known any different.”

“If you don’t have CF, you can’t fully comprehend how anyone could consider this lifestyle normal because you only experience your own health and that is ‘normal’ for you,” Kaylah said. “If someone with CF asked you how you cope with not having to take digestive pills each time you eat or how you cope with severe weight loss, I’m sure your reaction would be much like mine when sharing these experience with you. You shrug your shoulders and just say it’s normal. It’s all I know.”

Kaylah admits the road hasn’t been an easy one and remembers suffering embarrassing digestive symptoms during her elementary school years that were met with teasing from her classmates. Kaylah reflects on that time with a wisdom and understanding well beyond her years and with a wellearned sense of humor.

“Honestly though, what kid wouldn’t find it amusing or absurd for a classmate to be gassy in gym class or to take 45 minute bathroom breaks in the middle of classes,” she said. “This subsided as I got older for a couple of reasons. My peers and I were maturing in our sense of humor and amusement with bodily functions, I was becoming more articulate in the medical terminology and the

“Additionally there were rumors about me being bulimic, because persons with CF eat a lot, therefore spending a lot of time in the restroom, but struggle gaining weight,” she shared. “It definitely was annoying but I addressed it right away by educating my friends and other classmates.”

ability to better explain what was going on when people had questions, and I learned to be more discrete in managing my symptoms as I gained independence.”

“This included not having to leave for lunch early to go to the school office to get my pills, etc., as I was older and was able to administer them myself,” she added. “Additionally, I became more self-aware and was able to monitor my symptoms and was able to give feedback to my doctors so that prescriptions could be adjusted to better manage these sorts of things.”

Normal feelings of how unfair it seemed to have to deal with CF crept into Kaylah’s teen years as did body image issues. “As I became more aware of how ‘abnormal’ having CF was by interacting with my peers, I remember feeling like it wasn’t fair that I had to do treatments or that

Years of juggling medicines, treatments, and CF related symptoms and needs have found Kaylah learning how to be even more discreet with her CF. “Now as an adult, I carry my digestive enzymes in an Altoids mint tin and take them after my meals or snacks,” she said. “Coincidentally, my co-workers and other acquaintances assume I’m just taking a mint to freshen my breath after packing in three plates of food,” Kaylah said with a laugh. “Sometimes they ask for a mint too, and I playfully turn the tin around for them to help themselves.

I always giggle at the shock on their face when they see colorful “horse pills” instead.”

Kaylah does her more intensive treatments in the privacy of her own home; with most friends and acquaintances never realizing what CF treatments are needed for Kaylah to stay healthy. “I still only do my breathing treatments around friends and close family. I like to be private about my life in general, especially about my health, call me old-fashioned I guess,” she said. “Also, it’s a bit gross when you are doing airway clearance to cough out phlegm.”

It has been a lifelong learning process for Kaylah to develop a health

strong women | Overcoming obstacles plan that works best for her, although that plan is always changing. “It took me some time, well into my early to mid-20s to develop a routine that fit my lifestyle and my personality,” she explained. “Just when I think I’ve mastered it, I find new ways to be a bit more efficient or innovative. I currently do treatments two to three times a day. This can take about an hour each time. Additionally, I take digestive enzymes to help break down my food enough to maximize nutrition absorption. I have a very nutrient dense diet and also take supplements.

I like to dabble with ‘alternative’ treatments or remedies, but always run this past my doctor first to be sure that this wouldn’t interact with anything I’m already doing. I love that my doctor is open to my personal suggestions and concerns. I plan on earning my Ph.D. in Epigenetic from UW-Madison, so I am constantly keeping up with research and like to bounce ideas off

of her, as they relate to CF and my daily regimen.”

Kaylah’s days start early, typically 5 a.m., with normal morning duties along with sinus rinses and breathing treatments. “I always grab a quick, but hearty breakfast,” she said. “I supplement this with an Ensure or Boost nutritional protein drink or an avocado smoothie.”

Kaylah’s husband Mohamed Foudah presented her with a silent, hand held nebulizer that she can use to do her breathing treatments on her way to work. “He is really attentive to my busy bee personality,” Kaylah said.

“I didn’t know anything about CF before meeting Kaylah,” Mohamed said. “When she shared that she had CF with me, it didn’t change my mind at all about being together. This actually made me admire her more because of her honesty with me. I was shocked because she looked totally

Paint that endures.

Color that lasts.

When she anticipates that she is coming down with an illness, accommodations from work allow a break in the middle of the day for Kaylah to return home for lunch and to do her treatment with an IPV machine.

“Sometimes I take a nap as well, if I need it and then return to work for a couple of hours. If all is going well my daily routine is to do treatments twice a day, once in the morning and once at night.”

“I make it a goal to drink two liters of water a day and tend to do this at work in the morning and again in the afternoon when I return,” she added.

“It is important to stay hydrated as this

time can add up quickly, especially when you’re missing out on college courses and work simultaneously.”

Kaylah deals with the stress of hospital stays working on an emotional renewed sense of purpose and gratitude. “I reorient myself by setting personal goals and dedicate that down time to rejuvenating myself both mentally and emotionally. I always come around to a point where I realize I should also be grateful that I have a life that I want to continue to be a part of with dreams and plans for a compelling future.”

“I think we all can lose sight of these things, not just people with CF,” Kaylah added. “I’m pretty fortunate that I have this opportunity multiple times a year to get centered again and regain focus of what is really a priority in my life.”

helps loosen the phlegm in the lungs and sinuses, making airway clearance easier.”

A snack when returning home in the evening helps Kaylah with her nutrient dense diet. “I substitute sesame paste, almond butter, spinach, etc., into daily recipes to add fats and calories, as well as vitamins and minerals that are easily digested and absorbed.”

Another IPV machine treatment follows. Kaylah uses this time to update her calendar, which is used to help coordinate work, school, and social plans. “Having a central place to plan our activities helps me anticipate any adjustments I should make to accommodate my breathing treatment times,” Kaylah explained. “I also do my meal planning for the week during this time and pay bills.” Kaylah and her husband use free time on the weekends to watch documentaries or TV shows during her therapy time.

It is common for Kaylah to be hospitalized two to three times per year. Recent sinus surgery and regular breathing treatments helped Kaylah need only one hospital stay so far this year.

“My care team and CF clinic is at the UW-Hospital and Clinics in Madison,” Kaylah said. “I go there directly whenever I start early signs of a pulmonary exacerbation. Usually I don’t notice when I am getting sick, because it’s a very gradual thing. I tend to get wrapped up in life itself so much that I am not paying attention to my own health. I think we can all relate to that.”

“When I am in the hospital I get restless and want to get back into the swing of things. I usually have a day or two where I am overwhelmed and absolutely bummed out that I have to ‘check out of life’ for two to four weeks at a time,” Kaylah explained. “That

Kaylah’s husband plays an integral part in her hospital stays, keeping her spirits up and assisting with her care when discharged. “Mohamed is looking forward to continuing his education in the medical field and is able to care for me personally with the experience he has in the nursing field,” she said. “Like my family, he is always helping me focus on the positive and constantly reminding me where there is room for gratitude, no matter what I’m facing.”

“The best way I feel I can support Kaylah is mainly trying to make her feel like everything is normal,” Mohamed said. “She was born with CF, and will live with CF, this is a fact and not going to change. The one thing that is very important is to help her with everything around the house. For her, it is very essential to have time to do the nebulizer treatments that takes long time multiple times a day.”

“Overall, I live a very normal life,” Kaylah said. “But my priorities are just different in my day-to-day decisions.”

With younger sister Hannah also affected by CF, the sisters keep each other informed with new information and treatments. “I read the scientific journals and have apps on my phone for the leading science researchers

strong women | Overcoming obstacles in CF globally,” Kaylah said. “Hannah shares practical day-to-day things.”

Always active, Kaylah remembers her parents reminding her she is fortunate to have the ability to treat herself to stay healthy. “Not everyone has the luxury of being able to manage his or her health, no matter what your affliction may be,” she said. “I will never forget when my dad shared with me that you are far more blessed to be asked to run a mile, than to have no legs, as simply expressing that it may be exhausting, overwhelming, disappointing. But keep struggling; the struggle itself is a blessing.

Some people have not had the same opportunities I’ve had so early in life; to gain the personal strength, endurance, and love that one develops when jumping these hurdles.”

added. “This is one of the best things that my family has gifted me with. I have received nothing but support and love from my family and friends.”

Kaylah didn’t see how having CF impacted her other siblings until she grew older. “I always assumed that

they were not impacted as much, if at all, because they didn’t have CF themselves, they were ‘normal,’” Kaylah explained. “I had the mindset that it only impacted my sister Hannah and me. It’s kind of funny, but I’ve learned that at times my siblings felt

“My parents were very creative in my therapy and treatments as a child,” Kaylah shared. “Instead of doing the treatment vest, my dad would ‘prescribe’ an hour of jumping on the trampoline or sprints on our front lawn, from a tree to the porch many times. He always set the bar high, and I can be competitive sometimes, so I would be exhausted, but with a huge smile on my face.”

Not a fan of having to stop playing to do nebulizer treatments, Kaylah’s mother would let the sisters pick out their favorite movie to watch. “We enjoyed our time and actually stayed still,” Kaylah commented.

“One of the things that was most valuable to me as my parents raised me, was that they never made me feel I was different, or that I shouldn’t or couldn’t do something because of CF,” Kaylah said. “If they had concerns, it was usually put in a way that was casual, and mentioned I should consider some additional things on my way to achieving my goals and dreams.

They were very clever in dealing with my sister and I individually when it came to their approaches.”

“Needless to say, growing up I honestly didn’t have many inhibitions when it came to my view of CF,” she

strong women | Overcoming obstacles as if they were abnormal or flawed too.”

Because of their CF, Kaylah and Hannah have always required high calorie, high fat, and high protein dietary needs. “When we were all younger this was not a problem because each of us metabolized it quickly,” she said. “But as our other siblings grew up, they had to not only resist these foods which were in great supply for our ginormous appetites, but also have to wrestle the cravings while watching Hannah and I consume whatever we pleased without that same restraint.

With the both of us being the oldest, it became the norm for everyone at home. Eating high fat, high calorie and high protein was the norm for our family meals to accommodate our needs. Additionally, one of my siblings mentioned struggling with self-image when you have two older sisters that struggled gaining weight.”

Additionally, as they got older and heard about it in their high school biology classes, the siblings were confronted with the more factual and statistical side of their sisters’ disease,

which is intimidating. “I know that at that point they also became concerned for our life expectancy but kept those concerns to themselves and just continued to support us as usual,” Kaylah said. “I think that as much as Hannah and I felt like we had matured quickly, our siblings also did. For them to hear the average life expectancy of those with Cystic Fibrosis is mid-30s, you can’t help but do the math and be concerned for your sisters who are already in their 20s.”

“The first time it really hit me was when I was 8 or 9 years old and Kaylah got incredibly sick in high school,” sister Ilizah said.

“We went to see her in the hospital and she had lost a lot of weight. It was hard seeing the person that had been your role model in such a frail state. She came back fighting and I got to learn the long medical words for everything. You learn to find the bright side of every situation.”

Normal childhood jealousy crept in when Ilizah’s sisters took medical trips to Madison. “They got to have fun trips to Madison with our parents and got to

stop at A&W. To a child, lack of ice cream is a tragedy,” Ilizah shared. “As I grew and matured, I realized that there was more to it than just treatments that made your voice sound weird and the ability to eat three times as much as their husbands without blinking an eye.

Through their struggles and hospitalizations, I have seen more of what actually goes on and I have developed a protective side. I don’t mind talking to them on their way to and from appointments, but they can also count on me to give them a reality check when they need it.

Every family has something they have to work through, ours was CF, and so in the sense that everyone is fighting some battle; we

were a fairly normal family.

We still had movie time, there were just treatments going on during it. We still played around outside, there were just big coughs to go along with it. We still had family dinners, there were just medications to be managed during. It was oddly enough a bonding experience for us since we realized the value of life and how quickly it can go down hill. I don’t think any of us would change it since it has molded us into who we are today. They are the reason I am presently achieving my degree in the medical field.”

Ilizah remembers times growing up that she and younger brother Garett would encourage their older sisters to do their

strong women | Overcoming obstacles treatments. “We would pretend like we were doing it to cheer them up. They were good sports about letting us playing doctor with all of their equipment.

We would also listen to them read books when doing their vest treatments.

The vest shakes making their voices sound funny.”

“As much as they have struggled, they have also aspired to be better versions of themselves in different ways,” Ilizah said, adding she is a staunch supporter of anti-smoking.

“It has always been hard to see people lighting up and essentially paying to damage their lungs while others, like those with CF, have intense medical bills just to be able to have decent respiration.”

When asked what is most misunderstood about CF, Kaylah said, “CF is not a genetic lottery that helps you naturally keep a trim figure. It is a genetic mutation that affects your ability to absorb nutrients in food. For example, we would have to eat four apples to gain the nutritional value you get from a single apple. This is why our appetites are so large because our body is trying to compensate for that nutritional gap. Additionally, CF affects your whole body, not just your lungs, pancreas and intestines.

It also affects your bones, dental health, vision, liver function, kidneys, reproductive system, heart, and even your memory and other cognitive functions when you are deprived of oxygen. Those closest to me

tend to know when I’m sick because I tend to get low on oxygen, and as a result can be rather pessimistic and ornery, which is not my usual demeanor.”

“CF is not very hard to deal with as long as therapy and medicine is taken as prescribed,” Mohamed said.

“We live a very normal life.

We don’t have any special accommodations for Kaylah because she has CF. The only thing is to always appreciate and encourage her to be better in dealing with CF and trying to have more time so she can rest and do her therapy is very essential.”

“She is always trying to be tough,” he added. “I really admire her strength on dealing with CF, and patience with long times of doing therapy since it’s really easy to give up when you have to set for an hour three times a day to do nebulizer treatments.”

While there has been significant progress in treating CF, there is still no cure.

“I am a woman who is constantly striving toward my dreams and struggling with health, just like any other woman out there,” Kaylah said. “Regardless of what element of health that is, we all have things that we are working to improve, whether it is emotionally within ourselves and our personalities or our physical body. I continue to find the balance between being proactive about my health without building a sense of paranoia about my health based on ‘what if’ scenarios.

We all have struggles, just

different ones, mine just happen to be genetic.”

“Hannah and I are fortunate to have a buddy that we can share our struggles, curiosities, and concerns with,” Kaylah said.

“Not everyone with CF has such an opportunity. As children I think we kind of took it for granted, since we didn’t find anything particularly abnormal and particularly different between us and our other siblings.”

“There aren’t many things that we exclude from the rest of our family in our ‘CF experience’ to be honest,” she continued.

“However, we can share more specific things with each other like what medications we prefer over

others, symptoms we’ve had, our lung volume scores, and the rare real conversation where we fear the future since we don’t always know how long it will be.”

“I always like to remind Hannah that no one knows what tomorrow brings, we’re not exclusive in that fear,” Kaylah added. “However, we can be grateful instead that we have an awareness of the brevity of life and live each day fully. When one of us is sick, we like to encourage each other, reminding the other sister that I’ve been through it already and you’ll make it too.”

The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra (SSO), the oldest continually active orchestra in the State of Wisconsin, has been enriching life in Eastern Wisconsin for nearly 100 years.

An amazing cultural gem for a city the size of Sheboygan, the organization was established in 1918.

Sheboygan Symphony turns 98, longest c o n t i n u o u s ly active WI orchestra the turn of the century, the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra continues to shape the cultural landscape in Eastern Wisconsin as it nears its centennial milestone.

Ten conductors, hundreds of talented musicians, countless dedicated board members and volunteers, as well as thousands of loyal patrons have ensured sustainable growth over the past nine decades.

A theme woven through its history, is the vital mission of the Sheboygan Symphony—to enrich the artistic lives of the community and the players, and to offer educational programs that foster music appreciation for adults and children.

In its 98th year, the Sheboygan Symphony remains as active as ever.

A total of 70 symphony musicians

LIFE | Sweet sounds perform 5 concerts each year, a special holiday concert and two children’s concerts.

Eighteen chorus members have been singing with the group since its inception.

The Sheboygan Symphony delivers musical experiences that go beyond the 70-member symphony orchestra.

The Symphony Carolers

Affiliated organizations include the Sheboygan Symphony Chorus, The Symphony Carolers and the Sheboygan Area Youth Symphony Concert Orchestra and Sinfonia.

The Sheboygan Symphony Chorus In 1994 Director Emeritus Janet L. Herrick, a Professor of Music at Lakeland College auditioned local talent to form a chorus that would sing with the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra.

Today the 60 member chorus performs with Fabian Qamar as its director, at two concerts per season.

From Thanksgiving until New Year’s Eve, individual groups of between 10 and 25 chorus members perform seasonal music as the Symphony Chorus Carolers at venues around the Sheboygan area. They are often in demand for corporate events as well as convention and visitor destinations in the area.

The Sheboygan Area Youth Symphony (SAYS) The Sheboygan Area Youth Symphony is the only professionally organized orchestral opportunity for area youth.

Founded in 1982 under the

leadership of co-conductors, Debbie Williamson and Louis Schmidt, SAYS started with 35 middle and high school students. Today over 120 students representing 19 area communities, 29 different schools and several homeschool musicians perform in the group.

The orchestra has performed nationally and even internationally, recently taking performing tours to Toronto, Canada and Charleston / Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. During the 2013-2014 season, the SAYS concert orchestra traveled to Boston, Massachusetts, performing several outstanding public concerts and enjoying many of the historical sites around the Boston area.

The Sinfonia Our newest ensemble, The Sinfonia, began its first season in 2012 as a small, string orchestra with 18 players.

Guest artists each season meet with local musicians of all ages to share their talent, instrumental expertise and love of music. The one hour classes are held the Friday prior to the Saturday performance. The informal gathering of music lovers is an open exchange between the guest artist and those in attendance.

Musicians, especially the youth are encouraged to perform a selection for the guest artists and collaborate on the techniques of the selection and instrument.

Children’s Concerts Each year The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra and Sheboygan County School District introduce orchestral music to all public and parochial fourth-grade students, by providing an authentic concert experience.

Each spring children are introduced to the instruments that comprise the orchestra, by members of the SSO and experience first-hand the unmatched beauty of live, classical musical performances.

A custom curriculum is provided for all educators which builds upon the experience. Over 39,450 students have attended the Children’s Concerts over the past 24 years.

Thoughts from t h e SSO P r e s i d e n t Jenny Brault - President, Board of Directors “The Sheboygan Symphony is a true cultural gem that most communities our size are unable to support,�

Board president Jenny Brault said. “We are very privileged to have the support for all these years. We are proud to be the longest continuously running community symphony in Wisconsin.�

Brault, a pediatrician, said that music is such a critical element in the balance of life. “We work so hard in life and in our schooling. Music has been a great way to escape the rigors of every day life. If you can’t enjoy things like the symphony and the fine arts, what is the point of all the hard work.�

Though she understands the need to focus on math, science and other critical parts of education, Brault said it is important to teach to the well-rounded young person. “We need to create tomorrow’s generation of music lovers. The symphony helps to introduce today’s generations to something beyond their digital devices. Symphonic music gives them a chance to appreciate music that’s been around for centuries. This is music that was written several hundred years ago for royalty, and we get to listen to it today, here in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, through our symphony. That’s amazing.�

Meeting the budget The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization with an annual budget of about $350,000.

But, in these challenging economic times, the organization faces the same financial challenges that many other organizations do. Sheboygan is fortunate to keep its symphony operating, when others as close as Green Bay have been forced to fold due to lack of funding support, Penny Bruesewitz, SSO Director of Marketing

and Development said.

The Sheboygan Symphony relies on ticket sales, patrons and corporate sponsors to meet its annual budget.

One of the funding sources no longer available to SSO is the Stefanie H. Weill Charitable Fund. Fundraising efforts are ongoing to make up the difference of losing that $22,000 annual gift.

To meet those needs, the Sheboygan Symphony has begun to implement an expanded business development and marketing program, complete with the hiring of marketing director Penny Bruesewitz.

“I truly enjoy promoting the benefits of the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra. It’s fun to let people know we are here, to know our history and how we benefit the community,” she said.

Bruesewitz pointed to the Sheboygan Symphony as a valuable community cultural asset, which helps

support and sustain economic growth in the community. “Just having the symphony groups present is a great advantage for economic development and promoting our county. The Symphony is part of what makes Sheboygan County ‘some place better.’”

The restored and historically landmarked Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts, located at the heart of downtown Sheboygan, is the symphony’s home for rehearsals and concerts. But the Symphony and Weill Center are operated as two completely separate entities.

SSO - A S e a s o n o f Ric h E x p r e s s i o n The Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra has announced the schedule for its 98th consecutive year of performing with the theme “A Season Of Rich Expression.”

The upcoming season also marks the seventh year for Kevin McMahon, Music Director and Conductor.

“A Season of Rich Expression points to the development of the musical communications of the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra and Chorus,” McMahon said. “These expressions lead to beauty”.

The season opens with a program featuring music from Beethoven, Richard Strauss (featuring former Utah Symphony member Ronald Beitel on horn), and Tchaikovsky. “This program is for orchestral connoisseurs as well as those who are new to symphony programs,” McMahon said. “There is no finer musical fare to sample.”

In November, the orchestra performs the top requests from the people’s choice poll with our People’s Choice Concert.

McMahon said the outcome of the voting would remain a surprise, as much as possible, until that evening’s Interludes, a program offered prior to each concert this year.

“Suffice to say, those who love everything from traditional symphonic music, to things about Wisconsin,

22

| /FALL 2016

to movie music will be satisfied, and audience members will leave the concert hall smiling and moved,” said McMahon.

Next up is the treasured holiday favorite Händel’s “Messiah” in December, which will feature the Sheboygan Symphony Chorus, prepared by Fabian Qamar.

This season marks the 23rd year of performances with the Sheboygan Symphony Chorus.

As the season continues in February, the audience will enjoy a program entitled Memorable Movie Music with excerpts from, among others, “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Star Trek” and “The Wizard of Oz.” “In my tenure with the Sheboygan Symphony Orchestra we’ve done two concerts of John Williams’ music, including many of his famous movie scores,” McMahon said. “We’ve also done just a few other movie music

cues for the Levitt AMP series, children’s concerts and on Rich Ridenour’s programs. What is special about this concert is that our public will get to hear a full concert of nonWilliams movie music.”

The March performance will include Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 performed by Los Angeles area pianist Li-shan Hung and Christian music performed by Pastor David Weber. “If you enjoy traditional orchestral music or contemporary Christian music, this is the concert for you,” McMahon said.

“If you like one of these genres, but have never tried the other, this is the moment to give it a try.”

The season finale in May is entitled Passion Part Two, a sequel to the extremely popular opera finale of the 2015/2016 season and features vocalist Laquita Mitchell, who you heard recently with the SSO in “Porgy and Bess.”

LIFE | Sweet sounds “Last season’s closing concert was a highlight for many on stage and off,” McMahon said. “You will again get to experience some of the finest music written for the theatre.”

From start to finish these performances promise to make a season rich in music and surprises— one not to be missed.

“I’ve been in business as owner and landscape designer with New S-Scapes Landscape Design since 2001, and in Plymouth since 2009,” Radke said.

“Plymouth Rock Resort was my first Plymouth-based client where I developed, over four summers, a new landscape enhancement program for the resort. This year I took a membership

As the creator and owner of each of these businesses, Radke can

call herself a landscape designer, fabric and surface design artist, acrylic artist, and art party host. “As with all small business owners and entrepreneurs, I wear all the hats at some point,” she said. “That said, I have been blessed with being able to surround myself with wonderful artists and fine crafters who work very hard to help keep the daily boutique hours covered.”

Radke said she expects to continue to grow the membership in Seranya Studios. “As awareness of Seranya Studios continues to spread through-out the state, we expect to be able to continue to provide the wonderful mix of artisan works that we’ve come to be known for,” she said.

“In landscape design, I will continue to expand my client base and find my work delving more and more into the permaculture and sustainable design movement, an area that I am extremely interested in and passionate about.

Communities “I’m thrilled about the development of Seranya Arts Foundation as well.

The broad reaching mission is focused on people and the wonders that skills in arts and fine craft— including visual, functional and culinary arts and craft, coupled with related business skills training—can do for people.”

Radke added, “I’ve heard many wonderful things about Seranya Studios including ‘this place is a gem in Plymouth,’ and ‘you’re better than Door County.’

Just today I was told ‘We’ve been all over—Lake Geneva, Galena, Door County, even Elkhart Lake—and stores in those places seem all the same. You are so different in a very good way.’”

As for New S-Scapes, Radke said, “Well, I’ve been in business for a long time and I surely can’t say that I’ve never had a disgruntled client, but I can truly say they can be counted on two or three fingers. I’ve received many thank you cards over the years, telling me how grateful customers are for the time I spend with them, for the care and attention I provide and the depth of relationship I’m willing to work to develop with my clients in order to help them develop their best possible landscape.

I’ve been blessed with a number of repeat clients.

I’ve also been blessed to earn a number of local and state level awards for my landscape design work.

Most importantly, these businesses have enabled

me to develop long-term friendships with clients, colleagues, and contacts, while doing work that is creative, challenging, and exciting. Relationships are icing on the cake for me.

And I love cake!”

Plymouth Arts Center

Currently it has six employees and two high school age interns. Donna C. Hahn—executive director of the Plymouth Arts Center for the past 16 years—is the only full-time employee.

The Plymouth Arts Center’s mission is to enliven the spirit of the community and to enrich the lives of all by providing

diverse experiences in the arts. Hahn said, “We fulfill our mission by presenting a full schedule of arts experiences throughout the entire year (open year round, six days per week) with programs such as fine art changing exhibitions in Gallery 110 North, showcasing professional and emerging Wisconsin artists; musical concerts and recitals in a variety of genres including classical, Broadway, jazz, blues, country, folk, bluegrass, contemporary top 40’s; theatrical performances; a monthly “Speak Up” open mic; acoustic open mic; and much more.

“We also collaborate with non-profit organizations and local school districts hosting several annual events such as Chowdown in Cheesetown, a fundraiser for the Big Brothers and Big Sisters; Second Saturdays by the Sheboygan County Historical Research Center; Sound Celebration’s concert; Plymouth High School’s Jazz Band concert and Honors Recital; art shows; and we work with the Youth Theatre Company and Theatre for Young Audiences,” she said.

The Plymouth Arts Center is also very well known for its annual signature event, the Cheese Capital Jazz & Blues Crawl for the Arts fundraiser the second Friday in August which is sponsored by all the cheese companies in Plymouth.

It attracts thousands of music lovers each year. And then there is the nationally acclaimed New Year’s Eve “Big Cheese Drop” sponsored by the Sartori Company.

“For bus tours our coordinator is artist Kitty Lynne Klich and together we host two or three allinclusive chartered trips per year,” Hahn said. “Typically the trip includes taking in a Broadway musical performance, lunch, and perhaps visiting a special exhibition. In 2017 we are going to the musical ‘The Sound of Music’ and later to

Many community residents are amazed at how busy the Arts Center is; we will often hear, ‘Wow, you have something going on every week!’

“Our members and friends of the arts are extremely grateful that the Plymouth Arts Center exists.

They realize we serve the community as a place to enjoy all the arts, plus we are beneficial to Plymouth’s and the Sheboygan County economy. We attract area residents who visit often, and also tourists who love visiting art galleries or taking in the local culture.

that year they found the need to expand to their current larger location.

With a slowing interest in needlework and the coming of a Wal-Mart to town, the decision was made to close out the stitching and craft areas of the shop and dive 100 percent into the quilting world, and they have never looked back.

Since neither owner was a quilter prior to owning a quilt shop, they have always had a unique view of what a quit shop should be and have often let their customers steer them in various directions. They are always open to new ideas and embrace changing trends. The women said they pride themselves in offering the best selection of high-quality fabrics not available in chain stores and make a point to look for small, unique fabric companies that offer something very different.

When the recession hit in 2008 they found that quilters had the need to sew from their home fabric stash, so they added more blender fabric lines to help customers find coordinating fabric for a focus print they already owned. Since that time The Sewing Basket has added more than 15 complete blender lines from several different companies so quilters can find the match for which they are looking.

Sheryl and Elayne said they are excited about the new modern quilting trend and offer an extended selection of solid fabrics and fabric lines from modern designers such as Kaffe Fassett and Tula Pink.

In 2014 The Sewing Basket introduced their newest addition— embroidery and sewing machines by Brother. The sewing basket is a full-line authorized sales, service and repair dealer for Brother. “We are happy to sit with you and let you play with all the exciting features Brother machines have to offer,” Schwochert said. The owners and their knowledgeable staff said they are always happy to help people with their project needs, from coordinating the perfect color scheme, to helping with the quilt math.

“The entire staff at the sewing basket looks forward to working with you,” Schwochert said. “If you aren’t able to come see us at the shop, please visit our Web site or Facebook page.”

Customers are often leaving favorable comments about The Sewing Basket.

Here are a few received in the last few months: “This place is huge. The fabric selection is amazing and the staff is terrific. Thanks for a great experience.” “I can always find the fabric I need.” “I am enjoying my new Brother sewing machine and am grateful for all the help you give me while I’m in the learning process.

LIFE | Fun in the Fall Chilton—Pick-your-own apples and pumpkins should be in prime time at Heritage Orchard during the Rural Arts Roadtrip. Also there will be the Marytown Quilters, Julie Bubolz’s stained glass art, and fish decoys made

by Vern Gebhart of rural Stockbridge.

• Sunrise Valley Organics & Natural Health Shoppe, W4861 Moore Rd., Hilbert—Everything from grass-fed meats to hand-crafted soaps are available at Sunrise Valley. They also will host Mama’s Country Market and Bruce Kornely’s scroll sawing art.

• Hilbert Art & Antiques LLC, 614 W. Main St., Hilbert—Rare antiques and collectibles are available at Hilbert Art & Antiques. While there see Daniel W. Green’s paintings, Woolbursts by Kelly Grant, and Sarah Birschbach’s fused glass artwork.

Major sponsors of the Rural Arts Roadtrips are the Chilton and New Holstein chambers of commerce, Parker John’s BBQ & Pizza in Kiel, and Village Hearthstone in Hilbert.

Additional supporters are the following: Chilton—Rowland’s Calumet Brewing Co., Hilde’s Deli & Bakery, Terra Verde Coffeehouse, Fox Valley Technical College Chilton Regional Center, Hickory Hills Country Club, Badgerland Farm Credit Service, Vern’s Cheese

“This is our 14th year,” said Tammy Pethan of the Chilton Chamber of Commerce which coordinates the event. “It has grown immensely. We started our first year with about 70 total vendors; last year we topped 125. Vendors are now coming from out of state to be at our event. We’ve learned that we need to cater to our vendors. Vendors talk to one another at other craft fairs, and they are our best advertising. We help them unload in the morning, and load at the end of the event if they want help. We offer ‘booth sitters’ if a vendor is alone and needs to step away for a few minutes.”

There are some new features to this year’s Crafty Apple Fest, most importantly the location. The combination of a new Calumet County Highway Department shop being built in the area used by Crafty Apple Fest along with reconstruction of a portion of the highway adjacent to the festival site has this year’s event moving, but not far. With the cooperation of and thanks to Calumet Medical Center, Atrium Post-Acute Care, and St. Martin Lutheran Church, Crafty Apple Fest is moving across the street to Memorial Drive and Oak Street, and utilizing Klinkner Park and

St. Martin Lutheran Church’s outdoor space. Chamber member Kim McKeen of Farm & Home said on behalf of the Chamber that they would like to thank all the businesses and residents along Memorial Drive and in that area for allowing the event to be in their neighborhood.

This year’s event also will feature a Kiddie Tractor Pull starting at 10 a.m. (weigh-in at 9:30 a.m.); live music by the County B Basement Boys from noon to 4 p.m. under the park pavilion; free kids events including inflatables, robotics, face painting, crafts and much more; 12 different food vendors; micro brewed beer by Rowlands featuring apple and pumpkin beers; and over 100 craft vendors.

“It just keeps growing,” Pethan added. “Chilton and the surrounding communities love it.”

In addition to those mentioned already, other committee members assisting with Crafty Apple Fest are Shawn Reilly, Tracy Breckheimer, Paul Breckheimer, Jerry Mallmann, and Rob Ash.

Autumn Festival in Plymouth There are bigger festivals than the Autumn Festival held at PJ Campbell’s at The Depot in Plymouth, but owner Patrick Campbell said he likes the fact that it is a relatively small, neighborhood event.

“There are so many things going on all the time, but I think having a lot of these little, local events really adds to area tourism,” Patrick said. “It’s not scripted—it’s individual.”

The Autumn Festival at PJ Campbell’s—scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 10 from 5 to 9 p.m.—has a definite German theme, but so does PJ Campbell’s year-round. In addition to listening to the music of the Good Time Dutchmen that evening, the several hundred people expected to attend the event can enjoy authentic German cuisine inside or outside the Plymouth restaurant.

Schnitzel Fest will be offered featuring pork, chicken, and veal along with some other different options, Patrick said. In addition, PJ Campbell’s usual offerings including rouladen, sauerbraten, pork hocks, a schnitzel sandwich, and Leberkase (German meatloaf) will be on the menu. Patrick said a combination platter featuring his thin-sliced rouladen, sauerbraten, pork schnitzel, red cabbage, and a potato or

38

| /FALL 2016

dumpling choice continues to be a very popular menu selection.

As for PJ Campbell’s and its German menu choices, Patrick said, “It’s our niche. I think any place has to have something that is different.”

Three or four German beers will be available at the Autumn Festival, served in real glass mugs.

The street will be blocked off and a tent erected for the fourth annual Autumn Festival which continues to grow each year, Patrick said.

Haunted Golf Cart Rides, Chilton Haunted Golf Cart Rides have been going on for a number of years now at Hickory Hills Country Club near Chilton.

The event is a fundraiser for Calumet County Citizens for Responsible Energy. This year’s rides are planned for Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 14-15, 21-22, and 28-29, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. each night.

Admission is free and there is plenty of parking. Over 65 craft vendors are expected (not a direct sales event) displaying stained glass, crocheted items, sewing, a large variety of yard art, bath and body products, jewelry, soy candles, handmade wine accessories, fleece blankets, little girl accessories such as tutus and hair accessories, photography, repurposed furniture, hand-crafted wood items, and much more. Also back by popular demand will be the psychic medium Mooncat.

While strolling through the park shopping at their leisure and listening to tunes supplied by Al Schreiber, people can enjoy the food booths featuring such things as pulled pork and cole slaw, flavored lemonades, and sweet treats by the Nutman company.

Coordinator Roxane Lisowe said she is still looking for a basket weaver, hand-painted canvas artist, and baked goods.

Owners Vern and Ann Gasch first opened their property to apple buyers in 1977. “It has grown immensely,” Vern said. “The business has changed a lot. People’s desires have changed a lot. We sell a lot more products than we used to. People buy a lot smaller quantities, but buy them more often.”

Heritage Orchard is open to the public every day during September and October from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Vern said those customers should find an excellent crop of apples this year. “It looks really good right now,” he said. “We could use a little more rain.”

With 16 different varieties of apples offered at Heritage Orchard, Vern was asked which is the most popular. Without hesitation he said Honeycrisp, known for its sweet, tart flavor, its large size, and its very crisp texture. Vern said prime time for Honeycrisp at their orchard is around Sept.

20. Zestar apples have a lot of the same attributes as Honeycrisp but tend to ripen earlier and should be available closer to Sept. 1.

Celebrating 55 years in business, Al & Al’s Stein Haus coordinates the activities which include 15 hours of free entertainment over the two days. This Oktoberfest is considered one of the area’s most authentic as only German food is served, everything from bratwurst to schnitzel and Spätzle, desserts, all German-theme music, and traditional German costumes.

Heritage Orchard offers free wagon rides to the pickyour-own orchard. “Pickyour-own has always been very popular,” Vern said.

There also are straw bales for children to climb on at the orchard.

Youth art program jump-starts careers

By Maggie Chandler Seranya Studios Art Boutique started its youth art program when it opened its doors three years ago, but its importance to the community is greater now than ever before as the number of dedicated members have increased.

Offered to ages 18 and younger, accepted applicants not only have the opportunity to feature their art in her store on Mill Street, but also a chance to sell it. Susan Radke, Seranya owner, wanted to give young artists an opportunity from the very beginning.

Radke said, “I guess I always had a heart to develop artists and it seems that youth artists would be an awesome place to start, knowing that a lot of the schools are having budget cuts. Developing the business education part for the youths is also very important.”

From glass work and hair clips to animal drawings and greeting cards, Seranya features diverse art from several local youths who are in the program.

and flower hair clips. Both decided to join the youth art program because their mother already sold soap there for a few years.

It is not only an opportunity to make money that excites members of Seranya’s youth art program. Radke has taken time with members to give them a business education.

Explains 9-year-old Willow Borgenhagen, who sells animal drawings, “Susan was telling me how to price my art. She said to price by how many hours you put into it and the cost of the materials.”

But perhaps the most important lesson Borgenhagen has learned from Seranya’s youth art program came from its fundamental concept of being exclusively for youths.

“It doesn’t matter how young you are, you can still make art. Most of the time, it’s only adult art that’s being sold, not kid stuff. I think it’s super cool that I can sell my art here because I really put my heart into everything I make.”

Sixteen-year-old Lauren

Take 15-year-old Lilly Pearce, who started creating her own lamp work, also called glass work, last February.

“I just thought it would be cool to learn,” Pearce said of her craft. “It’s a dying art.”

Pearce is not the only one from her family who has products featured at Seranya; her younger sister, Annika Pearce, makes fairy

Boos, whose mother heard about Seranya’s youth art program, agrees.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity. It’s free. It’s great for people to see my work and great to get the word out about our nonprofit,” Boos said.

Instead of keeping the proceeds from her greeting cards, 100 percent of Boos’ earnings go toward the nonprofit ZeruZeru Inc., which seeks to help African albinos who are hunted by witch doctors for their body parts.

With more motivation to make money from her greeting cards, Boos learned from Radke how to

maximize profit while doing what she loves.

Beyond these useful skills, Boos said she has gained confidence in taking advantage of opportunities such as Seranya’s youth art program.

“I’ve learned to not be afraid. We came in not knowing anything about the program and Susan was so welcoming,” she said.

Those interested in applying for Seranya’s Youth Art Program can call Radke at (414) 614-7778 or e-mail her at susan@ seranyastudios.com to schedule an appointment.

ou should always wash your face and brush your teeth before bed! We’ve all heard this but sometimes it’s harder said than done.

To make things easier when I can’t wait to go to bed, I’ve nailed down a nightly routine that doesn’t take hours plus some helpful hints to feel our best in the morning!

1. Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads — Start your routine here. Though a little oily, they remove all eye make up quickly and completely. Affordable drug store purchase.

6. Olivu 426 Lip Balm — An amazing locally made all natural lip balm that you can chose any avor! Look online at www.olivu426.com

2.

Norwex Body Pack — Easiest 2 way to wash your face! All you need is water (I like these more than the Norwex makeup removal cloths).

My face is clean, exfoliated, and I’m more likely to wash my face because no soap needed! Find online or a local distributor.

3. Sensodyne Toothpaste — Obviously brushing your teeth is a must, but at night I recommend 3 using a sensitivity toothpaste. Also, wear any needed retainers or night guards!

4. Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II — This serum is a must and is known as sleep in a bottle for a reason. Just rub in a few drops after washing for great results then apply moisturizer after. Buy at department stores or online (even Costco!).

5. 20 sit-ups, 20 pushups, 20 squats — For years I have tried to do a few easy exercises before bed and maybe add in some stretching. It’s a good way to increase digestion and circulation and I love to follow this up with a cup of hot lemon water!

Do you know about Seasonal Affective Disorder?

C

hances are good that you’ve heard the term “Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)” before. And you probably even know someone —perhaps a family member, friend or colleague — whose quality of life suffers as a result of this condition during the winter months. This happens because their pineal gland produces less serotonin (a “happy hormone”) during shorter days with less daylight, causing depression and listlessness.

But did you know that SAD has a summer equivalent as well? Studies performed on subjects who live in countries close to the equator have found that people do indeed suffer from SAD in the summer months, even without the more extreme seasonal changes in daylight hours that come with living closer to the poles. Although “Summer SAD” is thought to affect only 1% of the population, it is nevertheless a very real health phenomenon. For some people, the seasonal change to summer can cause depression, agitation and irritability. Why? The reasons are many and mixed.

High Temperatures and High Humidity Increased heat and humidity can make it more difcult to sleep and to be active. Even chores like shopping and cooking can become more difcult. Ongoing discomfort and loss of appetite make it harder to enjoy life.

Changes in Routine We are also very much creatures of habit, and changes to our daily routines and circadian rhythms (which are 46 |for /FALL responsible the2016 sleep-wake cycle, among other

functions) can upset our balance. During the summer months, kids are home from school. This means that households often go to sleep and wake up at different times and must adapt to new schedules. In the midst of all that, many families also choose to take their annual vacation during these months, which further complicates life-especially if there’s travel involved. Your habits of sleep, work and meals can change radically in the summer months.

Fewer Clothes to Hide Behind Then there’s the issue of body image. During the cooler months, those people uncomfortable with their body image can cover up in loose sweaters. Not so in the summer!

Even a modest bathing suit at the beach reveals more than many of us would like. And many people starve themselves in an effort to get their “bikini body” back for their twoweek holiday at the beach, adding to the summer stress their bodies must endure.

The Summertime Financial Crunch Finally, the nancial strain that a summer vacation puts on the budget can also take its toll for many families. In addition, many working parents have to pay for childcare in the summer, or have to fork out a signicant sum for camp, so summer is not always the best time for a family nancially. This only increases the stress and rates of summer depression. And for families who can’t afford either childcare option, three solid months of having the kids at home all day can drive even the most patient parent up a wall.

HEALTH | mind & body

What to Do? To combat summer depression, there are a number of things you can do. First, be sure you give yourself sufcient sleep and exercise. It’s tempting to stay up later than usual in the summer months, but remember that eight hours of sleep a night are necessary for most people to function at their best. If it’s too hot to exercise, try exercising late at night or early in the morning before things heat up. You can also join an indoor gym or exercise class for a couple of months until things cool down.

Eat a sensible, balanced diet high in fruits and vegetables, which help to keep you hydrated while providing important nutrients. Don’t try to lose a bunch of weight all at once. Planning ahead is your best option, since you can put away a little extra money every month toward your summer holiday AND also gradually lose any excess weight before beach season without putting unnecessary stress on your body. Finally, have some fun!

Call a friend to come over and join you to share a movie in your air-conditioned house or go out a meal with a friend or partner. The good news is that summer depression can be prevented or managed with a just little advance planning.

Those who suffer from summer SAD often nd that the symptoms disappear with the return of fall and a more

“normal” lifestyle rhythm. However, if you nd that your depression continues well after the season begins to turn, it may be a good idea to consult your doctor. As chiropractic physicians, we work closely with our patients to develop and maintain healthy lifestyle habits year-round. This is the key to preventing many common illnesses and enjoying a higher quality of life at the same time. If you have questions about your own health and wellness, please call our ofce.

Recipes, Recollections & Reminiscings from Marge

By Marge Petts This time of the year reminds me of the Native Americans and how they lived and the rice they harvested in late summer and early fall. Although it has been several years since we grabbed our canoe, went “up north” and harvested wild rice, I still miss the whole process. As soon as we arrived, we would stop at our relative’s homes to nd out which lake had the best rice or which lakes the DNR had posted that the rice was ready to be harvested. You cannot harvest rice on a lake that hasn’t been posted. You also need to obtain a license to harvest rice. The fee was very nominal, so I believe it was done mostly to keep track of how many people were actually harvesting rice each year.

We always packed a lunch, as we stayed out on the lake most of the day. We pulled our canoe up to other canoes and talked and compared how much rice we had in our canoes, while eating.

At the end of the day, a rice buyer would b¡e parked on shore, ready to weigh and buy our rice, which we had packed in burlap bags. He in turn would sell th¡e rice to processing plants in Minnesota.

Most of the Indians, who harvest rice today, do so for their own use. At that time we were paid about 25 cents per pound. We always knew that we would make enough money on the weekend to make the trip worthwhile.

Today the processing plants in Minnesota plant their own rice to harvest mechanically. One of the reasons for this change is that the crop is not dependable. If there is a lot

Dried Fall Fruit Basket A rustic basket lled with a sampling of nature’s bounty is sure to please the senses.

A simple drying method helps the fruits retain a bit of natural color.

Dry fresh lemons, oranges and pomegranates. Other fruits, such as grapefruits and limes can also be dried.

Adding nuts, pinecones and mini-Indian corncobs to the basket, adds to the color.

It will take several weeks for the fruit to dry. It is best to begin the drying process at least six to 10 weeks before the dried fruit is needed.

To dry fruit, place on a wire rack or in a bowl in a dry place; turn fruit daily. Fruit is dried when it becomes hard and lightweight.

Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash spaghetti squash thoroughly and pierce in various places so that it does not burst when baking.

Cook for 1-1/2 hours. Remove and slice open lengthwise.

Let stand until cool enough to handle, then scoop out seeds and discard them. Remove spaghetti and place in bowl.

Use only the broccoli heads, and place them in melted butter and garlic in a skillet. Cook; covered for 2-3 minutes until broccoli is about half cooked.

Add squash to broccoli

and toss. Cook, uncovered for about 10 minutes until squash is crunchy but not hard.

Season with salt and pepper and serve.

Note: When purchasing, look for a very hard smooth yellow squash without bumps or discolorations. Do not choose a greenish squash, as these are not ripe. The larger the squash, the thicker the strands, so let the size of the spaghetti you desire be the determining factor in the size of the squash you select.

Applied Reflexology

Reflexology is a complementary therapy, which helps relaxation, improves mood, aids sleep, helps to relieve tension and improves sense of wellbeing. Other benefits may include seasonal allergy relief, muscular and joint pain, hormonal imbalances, digestive problems, and headaches.

Reflexology is based on the discovery that there are points on the feet, hands and ears, which correspond to organs, systems and structures within the body. This relationship is called a reflex, which is when stimulation at one point brings about response in another area.

As a reflexologist I use special pressure techniques to stimulate reflex points to help restore you to balance and wellbeing.

Typically, on your first visit I will take your case history, we will have a preliminary talk to determine your present and past health and lifestyle. It’s then time to relax and enjoy the treatment.

I will then use my hands to apply pressure to the reflexes of the feet and hands. I may detect subtle changes in specific points and will work on these points, which may help bring the corresponding organ or system back into balance with the body.

You may feel slight tenderness when certain reflexes are being worked on and again I will gently work these reflexes, which may help homeostasis in the body.

A course of treatments may be recommended depending on your body’s needs. You may wish to have monthly treatments for maintenance and/ or because it makes you feel good. Many clients return again and again because they enjoy the treatments so much and feel extremely relaxed afterwards.

Other services include Holistic anti-aging facial using

Enchanted Floral

Start a trend. Impress your single (or even your married) friends with the fact that you do not need to wait for anyone to send you flowers. Forget casual Fridays—start up Flower Fridays in which the whole office orders in flowers!

Who needs a reason? Send yourself flowers just because you feel like it! “They just make me happy and I haven’t met anyone yet who didn’t like being around flowers,” new business owner Mary Forstner stated.

Enough tip toeing through the tulips. An art teacher by trade, Mary decided now is the time to believe in herself, and her dream. In October 2012, she opened Enchanted Florals of Elkhart Lake and started working on holiday floral, wedding and banquet orders and flowers for everyday gift giving. “I’m greatly I inspired by the local business and community of Elkhart Lake,” she added. Most of her previous work was based

out of her home and through word of mouth.

This spring and summer months she plans to offer a variety of fresh blooms and daily specials. Mary has an open heart and an open door for customers looking to stop in and smell the roses. “I can spend several hours working on a project or arrangement and think nothing of the time,” she said.

“I love what I’m doing and it’s not like work at all.” In essence, Mary sends a gift to herself each day. Now available, tuxedo rentals.

PJ Campbells at The Depot

Back in the Day. The first railroad to Plymouth was built in 1859 and was known as the Sheboygan and Mississippi Railroad. It later became the Sheboygan and Fond du Lac Railroad. The first depot was built in 1859, and was located

about 35 feet south of the present site. This depot served as a passenger and freight house for 13 years. In 1872 a Union Depot was built. A very destructive fire occurred on July 12, 1887. It consumed the Hub House, the Union Depot, two grain elevators, a coal shed, two cheese and one freight warehouse; it also badly warped the rails. This same year the second Union Depot was built, serving until 1912, when succeeding railroads constructed their own depots.

By 1912 the dark red, weathered Railroad Depot, which once echoed to the throaty rumble of the C. & N.W. steam engine, had been dismantled. The present building was constructed in 1912. In 1973 the building was purchased and renovated into a full restaurant providing excellent food to its local patrons and visitors for many years.

Present day. In 2011 Patrick & Judy Campbell’s purchased The Depot. In the remodeling process of the cocktail lounge, the original floor was uncovered, but as in any remodeling project there was an eight-foot by 12 foot section missing.

Our neighbors across the tracks came to our rescue by generously donating some of their flooring to finish our project. For that, we will always be grateful. My wife and I then opened PJ Campbell’s at the Depot serving authentic German dishes with an American twist.

Along with my wife Judy, our daughters Jackie & Emily we welcome you to PJ Campbell’s where you are truly family!

Midwifery care offers holistic approach

Welcoming a new baby can be an exciting time for a woman and her family.

Whether you are having your first or fourth child, every birthing experience is different and special. The journey to that special moment includes many decisions—from determining if you will breast feed to choosing an obstetrician or a midwife for your prenatal, childbirth, and postpartum care. These are very personal decisions about what is best for you, your baby and family.

Is midwifery care right for you?

For those who prefer a more holistic approach to pregnancy care, midwifery may be the answer. At its core, midwifery care is very personal and women-centered, focusing on what is most important to each woman’s unique situation, values and beliefs.

Leslie Bolander, a certified nurse midwife (CNM) with Holy Family Memorial Women’s Health, stresses this distinction. Bolander, who is the only CNM in Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties, said, “Midwifery care provides women with unique support needs to maximize the joy and overcome the difficulties they may experience during pregnancy, labor, and delivery.”

Unlike traditional midwives, CNMs are defined as primary care providers under federal law with prescriptive

Midwife Leslie Bolander (right) helps provide a more holistic birth experience for both mother and baby.

authority in all 50 states, and are required to hold a master’s degree in nursing along with at least one year of specialized training in labor, delivery, and well-woman care.

Using a holistic approach, Bolander monitors her patients’ pregnancy and delivery. Her goal is to help eliminate the fear and anxiety of birth, and guide families through a safe pregnancy and childbirth experience. She provides individualized care for her patients and considers all aspects of an individual, including physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being.

“What I enjoy most about midwifery care is the ability to spend time getting to know my patients and understanding their needs so that I can help them have a positive pregnancy and birth experience,” she said.

Unlike lay midwives and certified professional midwives who offer home births, Bolander oversees births at HFM Women’s and Children’s Center.

The advantage of receiving care from Bolander is that if situations arise where interventions and/or assistance of a physician is needed, her patients have accessibility to high risk care and specialty resources from HFM Women’s & Children’s Center. Bolander works closely with HFM Women’s and Children’s Center staff and providers as a cohesive healthcare team to provide moms with the right care, in the right setting, with the right outcome.

Women who seek midwifery care services often want a more natural approach to childbirth and to avoid interventions, epidurals, or pain medications during labor and delivery. Bolander focuses on natural approaches, such as massage, birthing balls, breathing techniques, or even water therapy to relax. If a patient feels she needs a different approach for comfort management, Bolander can offer pain medication or an epidural if desired; however, the vast majority of her patients have a natural childbirth.

Leslie Bolander is the only certified nurse midwife in Manitowoc and Sheboygan counties. a CNM follow your care during your pregnancy and birth. Studies show that having a midwife reduces the chance of being induced and having to deliver via cesarean section.

If you are looking for a more personalized pregnancy and birthing experience, and someone who will advocate for you and your wants and needs during your pregnancy and childbirth, then having a midwife may be a great option for you.

Midwifery care is on the rise as more women seek the personal care midwives offer. Though best known for helping women during pregnancy care and delivery, Bolander is able to provide healthcare services for women at every stage of life, from adolescent through menopause and beyond.

If you are considering a midwife for your pregnancy, or want to learn more about Leslie and all the services she offers, visit hfmhealth.org/midwife or call (920) 320-6705 to request an appointment. 

The Pink Heals truck is named after Colton Steinhorst who earned his angel wings in 2013

angel wings on Sept. 3, 2013, but he continues to spread his love through the pink fire truck.”

Pink Heals Manitowoc County was created in 2012 when Mishicot Ambulance and Fire Department joined forces to help start the local chapter.

The organization’s pink ambulance, dedicated in May of 2016, was donated by the Black River Falls Fire Department and is named after Alayna Haese. Alayna is currently battling Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. “She is making great strides and is beating her cancer,” Krueger said.

The goal of the organization is to help women, men and children who are battling cancer in Manitowoc County.

Local President Amanda Krueger said that Pink Heals has been visible throughout the State of Wisconsin as they travel with their fire truck and ambulance, which are both painted pink.

“Our pink fire truck is named Colton after a little boy named Colton Steinhorst who battled neuroblastoma,” Krueger explained. “He was an amazing young boy who could light up a room. Sadly he received his

“The pink stands for the woman,” Krueger explained. “Because if we help the woman, then we are helping the entire family.”

“Pink Heals is made up of all volunteers, which means 100 percent of the money goes back to the community to help those battling cancer through our DCA (Direct Care Assistance) program,” she said.

“DCA helps those actively battling cancer in Manitowoc County to help pay bills if they have fallen on hard

times financially. We may pay rent/ mortgage, taxes, utility bills or medical bills not covered by insurance. In 2015 we helped 51 cancer patients in Manitowoc County to a tune of close to $36,000.”

Approximately 40 volunteers assist with Pink Heals including a board of directors and five officers.

“We are a close team that works together to help those in our community who have fallen on tough times,” Krueger said. “So many of us have a personal connection to cancer and have seen firsthand what a person and family goes through. Knowing what a struggle that can be physically, emotionally and financially is why we band together to help those in our community and make it a little easier for them.”

Each month the group hosts an adult cancer support group and the YOUth Matters Children’s Cancer

Support Group. “We bring in speakers and have an open conversation amongst those battling, survivors and caregivers. We try to bring knowledge and camaraderie to cancer patients, their family and friends.”

The organization participates in numerous community events including parades, car shows, walks and runs, and races. “We have two large events each year,” Krueger said. “One is our golf outing and the other is our 5k/10k walk/run and raffle event in October.”

“We are invited to many events in the community and will also visit those in our community who are battling cancer with our pink vehicles,” she added. “We are very active in Manitowoc County, however we travel to surrounding counties as well. People having events or fundraisers can request us to join them by filling out an online form at http://pinkheals.us/ colton-request-form/.

A special offering of Pink Heals is the ability of anyone who has been touched by cancer to sign the trucks.

“Our fire truck and ambulance are beautiful moving memorials to those who are battling cancer, who have won their fight against cancer, or who have courageously lost their battle,” Krueger added.

“There are so many rewarding parts of this organization,” Krueger said. “I think it’s seeing the effect that you can have on someone. Seeing them light up and forget maybe for a minute or two that they have a tough battle ahead of them. It’s seeing people come together for a greater good.

People leaning on each other, bringing positive thoughts and love to complete strangers, can really fill a person’s heart.”

“It’s also so amazing to see our fire truck and ambulance come to an event or come to visit a person who is battling with our lights on and our

horns blasting and to see how much that means to a person and then to watch them put their name on the vehicle,” she added. “It is breathtaking.

I invite anyone who has been touched by cancer to come experience this.”

“People in the community may say that we touch a lot of hearts, but in all reality it is the volunteers of Pink Heals who have their hearts touched day in and day out by the amazing and strong people of our community.”

Take that, Miss Sally!  by Darlene Buechel

I

n 1964 I was a 4-year-old sporting short blond hair, a shy smile, and many frilly dresses.

While I liked to play outside in the afternoon, I spent many mornings glued to the TV watching my favorite show, Romper Room.

Remember that sweet little tyke’s show that taught kindness and caring along with counting and ABCs? I was thrilled to have a Do Bee puppet and my very own stick horse, which galloped many miles over avocado shag carpet.

Sally dispensed all her helpful advice with a wrinkle-free dress, high heels, and a mega-watt grin which showed off the perfect teeth she got by being a good Do Bee brusher, of course.

At the end of each show Miss Sally and all the TV kids would gather around and peer into the camera. Miss Sally would smile and hold up her big, round, magic mirror and we’d drown each other out reciting, “Romper bomper, stomper boo. Tell me, tell me, tell me do.

Magic mirror tell me today. Did all my friends have fun at play?”

I watched the show sandwiched between my brother, who was 5, and my pesky 3-year-old sister. With my Chatty Cathy doll on my lap, I’d sit mesmerized in front of our 24-inch black-and-white console. Romper time was one of the few times all three of us sat in the same room without pinching, biting, or bashing one another on the head.

Then we’d be three quiet mice as Miss Sally continued, “I see Susie and Debbie and Cathy. Look there’s Diane, and Mary and Dennis and Johnny. I hope you all had fun today.

Bye bye Do Bees!”

Miss Sally, along with an oversized yellow bumble bee and a lucky group of TV kids, would show us how to brush our teeth, pick up toys, and do all the things a good Do Bee should. She would also sing songs about bad behavior so we could be sure to avoid it. “Do Bee a car sitter.

Don’t Bee a car stander.” Of course that was back before car seats and boosters had kids safely strapped in every minute of every mile.

“Oh, Darlene. Do Bee a big girl.

Don’t Bee a Grumpy Gus,” Dennis would say as he socked me on the arm.

During Romper Room days Miss

| /FALL 2016

After that my brother Dennis and sister Diane would whoop with joy at the sweet sounds of their names, while I’d grab Chatty Cathy (who at least didn’t whoop in front of me) and go off to pout in the corner.

“Maybe someday Miss Sally will see you. Just keep watching,” Diane said as she tried to pat me on the head and snatch my doll at the same time.

Dennis, Darlene, and Diane were having fun outside in this 1964 photo.

I held tight to my dear doll while my bottom lip pouted halfway to the carpet. I could watch Romper Room until I was old and wrinkled and…28 (which is really old!) and I’d still never hear my name. This was all mom’s fault!

I ran into the kitchen in time to see her pop my favorite lemon bars into the oven.

“Mommy, why did you name me Darlene? Why not Mary, or Susie, or Cathy?” I whined.

“Well, honey, Daddy and I couldn’t decide between Debbie and Darlene. We put both names in a hat and picked out….”

“I know, Darlene,” I frowned.

“No, actually we picked Debbie,” mom laughed. “But we thought there were too many Debbies in the world so we named you Darlene.”

Mom smiled as she wiped lemon hands on her pink flowered apron.

“It’s a pretty name for a very pretty girl.” Then mom hugged me and planted her Yum-Plum lipstick on my cheek.

I sat on mom’s lap and breathed in the heavenly scent of lemon bars mixed with Channel #5, and grinned.

Having mom’s hugs all to myself was better than a magic mirror any old day. Take that Miss Sally! 

Walk-In Weekdays

Screening Mammograms on your schedule At Calumet Medical Center, our goal is to provide you with personalized care, close to home. That’s why we’ve created Walk-In Weekdays.

Now, women can have their annual screening mammogram without an appointment any day of the work week.

Simply walk in at your convenience anytime between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. You’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and receive a state-of-the-art digital mammogram.

Please remember that walk-in appointments are available for screening mammograms only. If your doctor has referred you for a mammogram due to specific concerns regarding your breast health or if you prefer to schedule an appointment, please call (920) 849-3890.

The date of your walk-in screening mammogram must be at least 12 months after the date of your last screening mammogram, to comply with most health insurance coverage requirements.
