About This Year’s Hal Prize It is difficult for me to believe that it has been 19 years since Tom McKenzie (who co-founded the Peninsula Pulse with Dave Eliot) walked into my bookstore to inform me that the Pulse was planning an annual literary contest named after my father. My father had died just a few months prior and, though I was surprised by Tom’s request, I knew how pleased (and embarrassed) my father would be with the honor. My dad was very fond of Tom and looked forward to the delivery of each issue of the Pulse, usually by Tom personally, where they would share thoughts on writing, literature and the current issue. Through the years, the growth of the contest moved through several changes, including a name change and the addition of photography and nonfiction as prize categories. One of the most significant steps forward was the addition of Write On, Door County as a collaborator. With this addition, many of the possibilities we had long imagined became possible. Their
generous donation of weeklong stays at the Write On retreat house in Juddville allowed us to attract nationally recognized authors to serve as judges for the contest. The same donation by Write On for contest winners in each of the writing categories allowed us to broaden our marketing efforts and attract entries from throughout the United States. This year’s contest brings two new steps in our continuing efforts to improve and grow The Hal Prize. Notably, Nicolet National Bank made a generous donation of support, which has allowed us to broaden the cash prizes we offer winning entries. In combination with other prizes provided by businesses – particularly the handcrafted pottery mugs created by Jeanne and Dave Aurelius of Clay Bay Pottery for each of the first place winners – we feel the contest is now attractive to all levels of experience. The other notable change this year was the poetry editors of the cream city review graciously agreeing to serve as final judges
for the poetry portion of the contest. Small magazines and presses are vital for writers, whether beginning or experienced. They provide the opportunity to be published, to reach an audience, and to demonstrate to publishers a track record of successful publication. We are fortunate to have a small journal of cream city’s caliber and reputation in our state. If you haven’t picked up an issue, I encourage you – whether you are a writer or a reader – to do so or even subscribe. They deserve your support. As a final note: with the publication of this year’s Hal Prize issue, next year’s contest begins! Writers and photographers, you are now formally notified: start working on your entries for the 2018 Hal Prize – the submission process remains the same and the website is ready to begin accepting your creative efforts (TheHalPrize.com).
Steve Grutzmacher
This annual issue honors a man whose passion for writing and teaching the craft of writing spanned his lifetime. While his specialty was the English Romantic period, particularly William Wordsworth, he also loved reading (and re-reading) James Bond novels. A widely published poet, he was also a regular columnist for the Door County Advocate when it was privately owned – he even convinced his editor to allow him to cover the Chicago Cubs, which afforded him several trips each season to Wrigley Field, where he became good friends with other sports writers from far larger newspapers. His greatest passion, however, was teaching writing. As an English professor at Carthage College (then in Carthage, Illinois), Knox College, and Parson College he influenced hundreds of undergraduate writers. Later, as vice president for academic affairs at the University of Tampa and dean of students at Beloit College, he continued to teach the freshman English courses, though these courses were not part of his job description. In Door County, he and his wife, Marge, opened Passtimes Books, where he enjoyed discussing literature with other avid readers. And he continued teaching writing, both at The Clearing and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Several of these students later brought him manuscripts which he helped edit into finished books. His encouragement and gentle, though pointed, criticism influenced innumerable students and community members. The Peninsula Pulse, along with Write On, Door County, look to continue in the same spirit by encouraging writers and photographers of all skill levels with The Hal Prize.

“New Friend” by Ron Maloney
THE HAL PRIZE 2017
The Process Every year since 1998, The Hal Prize poetry, prose and photography contest has started the same way: with an invitation. It is an invitation we extend to people of all ages, backgrounds and artistic abilities, encouraging them to submit stories, photographs and poems for a chance to be published in our annual literary issue. As we celebrate the 20th issue of The Hal Prize, we also celebrate the fact that its necessary evolutions over the past two decades (online-only acceptance of submissions, for one) have only contributed to the contest’s growth in the Midwest literary scene. One of the ways we keep The Hal Prize fresh and exciting is through selection of new judges every year, allowing for diverse backgrounds and perspectives that influence the final publication. When compiling a list of prospective judges, we ask ourselves: who are the storytellers, photographers and poets whose work we seek out and cherish in our daily lives? Jerod Santek, the executive director of Write On, Door County, drew from his professional experiences working with novelist and English professor David Haynes. Haynes is also founder and director of Kimbilio, a community
of writers and scholars dedicated to developing, empowering and sustaining fiction writers from the African diaspora and their stories. As promoters of new and established writers, it was a mission we felt mirrored our own. Peninsula Pulse sales rep Steve Grutzmacher, whose father Hal is the namesake of this contest, recalled the early days of his own Door County literary journal, the Peninsula Review, and was reminded of the work of Mary Zane Allen, a prose lover who started the literary journal cream city review at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee in 1975. In the more than 40 years since the first issue hit newsstands, the nonprofit journal has published works by distinguished writers such as Charles Bukowski, Billy Collins, Robert Olen Butler, Ted Kooser, Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich. Steve reached out to cream city review and formed a partnership in which the publication’s poetry team guest judged our Hal Prize poetry contest. The final piece of the prose-judging puzzle was finding an individual with a passion for documenting and sharing stories of people and places of the real world. I was immediately drawn to the idea
of one of Wisconsin Public Radio’s most engaging voices: Erika Janik, executive producer of Wisconsin Life. Janik is an author and historian who spends her days sharing the humorous, surprising and emotional stories of the people who call this state home. Her thoughtful commentary on stories both uplifting and tragic made her the perfect fit for the nonfiction job. With these judges lined up, it was time to consider the photography judge whose background and perspective would inform the final look of the 2017 Hal Prize publication. When we put out the call for photography submissions, we emphasized our desire to see photos of people and places. This mission guided us on our quest to find a photographer who did the same, and we discovered it in Milwaukee artist and photographer Kevin Miyazaki. Among his most recent work on people and institutions is Perimeter, a photography collection-turned-book on the human connection to the Great Lakes. The project, commissioned by the Haggerty Museum of Art, took Miyazaki on a tour of Lake Michigan’s perimeter where he photographed nearly 300 people with
connections to the fresh water lake, from dockworkers to surfers. Prior to the May 1 submission deadline, these judges shared with me the journeys they each took to become successful authors, poets and photographers for feature articles in the Pulse. When the contest closed and our pre-screening committee viewed and selected finalists from the 429 submissions we received this year, the judges stepped in to read (or in Miyazaki’s case, view) these finalists, make their selections and provide thoughtful commentary on why the chosen prose or photos captured their attention. What you hold in your hands is the culmination of a year’s worth of effort from the Hal Prize administrators, judges and sponsors, and the hundreds of individuals from across the country who shared their creative efforts with us. On behalf of The Hal Prize organizers and the Peninsula Pulse, thank you for reading and enjoy this, our 20th annual Hal Prize.

THE HAL PRIZE 2017
PHOTOGRAPHY 1ST
“Surf Sisters” by Laura Joeckel
I was amused at the sight of these nuns hoisting their skirts to cool off in the surf of Monterosso al Mare, a Cinque Terre resort town in Italy.
“
This terrific travel photograph succeeds on several levels: The nuns are captured in a nonintrusive manner and we see just enough of their facial expressions to give it life. The viewer knows that we’re in Italy by the writing on the boat. Great use of composition and a telephoto lens to visually compress the elements. I would have been excited to have made this picture while on assignment!

“Chinta’s Love” by Shannon Thielman
I live in rural Marathon County with my six-year-old son, where we raise chickens. We travel to Panama every other year because after having served in the Peace Corps there from 2002-2003, people in these villages seem like family. This woman cradles her granddaughter. As is frequently the case here, the child’s mother is working away from home as a teacher while the grandparents take care of her children.
“
This photograph is a winner because it’s both touching and informative. Good environmental portraiture is respectful and provides information about the subjects. This photograph does just that via clothing, posture, the home environment. Effective use of soft, pleasing light.
Kevin J. Miyazaki
“New Friend” by Ron Maloney While taking a swim at the Murphy Park beach, this friendly pooch decided to come over and say hi.
“
This is a lively, fun photograph that immediately registers with the viewer. But it also has terrific composition and lots of information and details, the closer you look. Great use of camera position within the water setting. The photographer truly put themselves into this experience.

THE HAL PRIZE 2017
The Obligation
POETRY 1ST by Dawn Hogue
In my neighbor’s yard, currants glisten red like glass beads full of juice, heavy enough to pull down the woody branches their clusters cling to, the branches that bow down to lay their fruit on the ground. Why have the rabbits not eaten them? Are they too easy a snack? Or too sour? Instead the rabbits find their way into my garden to eat the scratchy leaves of my beanstalks. Idiots. I’ve pulled over a chair, knowing right away that bending is nothing my old back will tolerate. The dog who loves raspberries isn’t interested in the ruby globes either. I eat a few. Tart juice is little reward for this effort. No satisfying pulp like a grape. Just seeds. Small, sand-like seeds. But here I am on a serene Sunday morning pulling at the ripe bunches, aiming to fill a five-quart pail. I pick, not because I want to, but because my neighbor, in remembrance of his mother who insisted each summer I take as many as I like, must have felt, a year after her death, that he needed to make the same offer. So I pick, not needing any of them or the jars of jelly I will make. And yet, somehow, I am also not able to leave a cluster here or there on the branch. I stand now, bucket full, ready to head home, and I stop. Just a few more. I reach for one last cluster that seems to have surrendered itself to the sun, claret light radiating through each perfect orb. Seems so senseless to let them wither and dry. Someone ought to want them.
Dawn Hogue’s poetry has appeared in Stoneboat Literary Journal, Making it Speak: Poets & Artists in Cahoots, and Intersections: Art and Poetry. She taught high school English for 25 years and is currently a writing tutor for Johns Hopkins University’s Center for Talented Youth. Find more about her at dawnhogue.com.
“
In direct, clear language ‘The Obligation’ draws a scene of surprising depth. The speaker of the poem carries out a mundane task that reveals how we relate to others. With lines as lush and insistent as the fruit they describe, this poem serves up the simple solitude of circumstance and, in the last line in particular, transcends the poem to implicate the reader.

Honey-bees point their co-workers toward food, dancing to show which way to fly, and for how long. Sometimes you can forget how to speak, if you pass your days in silence. An old man from Mexico with Alzheimer’s was shot dead by a cop in California who assumed that he was armed. In fact, the object in his pocket was a wooden crucifix. A sunflower’s face is made of hundreds of tiny flowerets inside the disk. When Tranströmer’s right hand was paralyzed by a stroke, he taught himself to play piano with the left.

“Colors are the smiles of nature.” LEIGH HUNT
The people who built Stonehenge and other Neolithic monuments and tombs were most likely teenagers. Less than 60 years after the first manned aircraft flew for just three seconds, astronauts were orbiting the earth. The human eye relaxes when gazing at distant objects in the landscape, and finds the color green most restful. After being temporarily blinded in a factory accident, John Muir went on a thousand-mile walk. When my heart stops, I do not want to be resuscitated. I want to close the door quietly, and go. Finback whale-speech travels further than that of any other mammal: a hundred miles underwater, maybe more. Ice has an entire sonic repertoire—it can sound like explosions or gunshots, or music from another world.
“
‘Things I Learned This Month’ performs a careful study of the original Stafford poem in formal approach, but reaches for a more lyrical understanding of the information we receive. Similar to Stafford, the speaker here pauses amidst this factual recounting to contemplate how they would like to die. These lessons braid together to tell us something about the nature of accumulation and time itself. The facts of life are undeniable, but poems like this one help us bear them.

Bernstein’s Shostakovich the concentric grooves of the record capturing in tiny microscopic bumps and valleys the actual physical analog of their glorious sound, like a child’s hands pressed into the hardening cement of time. As this world teeters on the brink— global warming, rising seas, overpopulation, threats of pandemics, terrorist atrocities, nuclear war— it is difficult not to see that our civilization will soon go the way of all previous civilizations. In the aftermath of Armageddon, all our old technologies useless— computers mute boxes, phones, laptops, and TVs blank mysteries, I imagine survivors hoarding books, hunting for old vinyl records, perhaps a group huddled over a fire in the far north with this Shostakovich Fifth, someone turning it by hand, a pencil for a spindle, a filed nail for a stylus, a paper cone to amplify the sound. And there, somewhere in the dark future the world is rushing toward, Shostakovich echoing in the hills, the living ghosts of that long-dead orchestra playing on, Bernstein at the podium, dapper even in death.

Most of the orchestra is long dead— violinists quiet in their graves, cellists, woodwinds, and brass silent, the timpanist a clatter of bones— but here is their Shostakovich Fifth pressed into vinyl, recorded in 1959, fresh back from their tour of the Soviet bloc, a Cold War cultural exchange,

It would seem that ‘Bernstein’s Shostakovich’ dares to suggest that beauty is eternal. Through grim calculations that result in a dystopic future, the speaker hopes that we may yet survive this delicate dance by having learned to dance at all. Though it predicts a world that feels empty, the desolate landscape slowly fills across the poem until it ends where it began, in a resonating music hall. It is a song that, like the poem’s idea of civilization, has been recycled and copied over and over. It survives because it refuses to be silenced.

PENINSULA PULSE AUGUST 4–11/2017 • v23i31 DOORCOUNTYPULSE.COM
Her companion is a white dog with black dots older than she in dog years, although she is old and wears her white hat and matching gloves well. They both walk stiffly teetering listing like flooding ships. Each day at the dock they saunter together, the bedraggled leash rubbing the concrete boat ramp, it’s extra-long so he can wander in her wake, the rope ties them together, mother ship and lifeboat. She, slightly bent forward, risks each step, picking up colored lake stones. He meanders, sniffing scents of stink fish and sometimes his haunches shake, while he eats bones and grass. A pair, like the earth and sky, sand and water. They are peaceful as daylight. Fishermen on the horizon don’t see them, the queer twosome at the shoreline black specks in the sand. Could be a pair of gulls bobbing bending scavenging the silica.
Amy Phimister has retired to Door County after several years of working in Chicago for various corporations. Writing poetry has become her next career and she is helped by the great discussion of her poetry group.

Held breath of the day -drawn in and waiting, after the headlines – how they stack up accumulate like compost: insults to the brain lacerations of the psyche. Colorless skim milk sky dappled pattern of raindrops on the path, where hikers like us seek escape from blundering and blustering. An Indian family - black eyes, black hair have found the boardwalk through the marsh. It’s a muskrat the small girl tells us, pointing at rippled water with excitement. And we saw a heron! In her smile the day breathes again.

POETRY HONORABLE by Richard Swanson
Head Job (Brain Surgery Recovery) Kindergarten at age 77. I’m in it. Exasperated, I re-learn only one of my tussling clown feet can occupy a pant leg at a time. How do I get Limb One and Limb Two where they belong, and should I try seeing this situation as yuk-yuk funny? My fingers scrawl bramble bush letters when writing. Walking, I’m spooked by a baseball-bat object, limp then suddenly swiveling from my right shoulder. Turns out it has a comforting voice confiding it’s my arm in disguise. As your old sidekick I like this new you, it tells me. With your loosey-goosey moves you’re more detached. Chic, I’d even say, but can you keep everything together? Three days ago, I had something called a procedure. During it spongy masses were peeled from my brain, and vials of (pretty?) red liquid got sluiced away. My pate opened to new experience, its bald flap professionally re-sutured, I sense something found a rabbit hole way into my skull, uprooting and carrying off parts of my word lode in its scrounging. When I speak, my sentences are big-city trains gone rogue, careening toward pile-ups. My words stammer, veer off or explode— syllables shards on the fly. How is your day going, so far? asks the nurse, entering. N . . . not! Sh! Su, SHORE! I reply. All n-night lone—drum s! Drreams!

In the photograph, Nawar sits on a step, chin in her hands, brown eyes wide, wearing lipstick and a crimson hair bow that matches her flouncy tulle skirt. She looks like any eight-year-old playing dress up, posing for the camera, looking slightly away. Perhaps it is the last picture ever taken of Nawar, snapped on a whim by her mother who now clutches it to her heart, a grief she can hold. What she remembers— the neck’s gaping wound, her little girl suffering for hours in her bloodsoaked bed, those brown eyes bewildered by pain. If you are Nawar’s mother you will take exception to the American’s use of the word almost to describe the results of the hastily planned, deadly attack. You will scream that everything went wrong the same way it went wrong five years earlier when Nawar’s curly-haired brother, Abdulrahman, died in a similar raid ordered from inside the most protected house in the world by a different American president who sent a drone to dismantle a family barbecue in Yemen where Abdulrahman was eating and laughing with his cousin. In this matter of children’s blood, there is no difference— almost is a desecration, and everything is wrong.

THE HAL PRIZE 201
FICTION 1ST by Scott Winkler
Chicken Clay and I milked the cows for the last time. Our mother insisted on being in the barn with her camera, switching out flash cubes between pictures of us washing the cows’ udders, slipping on the black rubber inflations to draw out the milk, dipping the cows’ teats in an iodine solution, and pouring milk through a filtered funnel into the large metal cans we toted to cool in the stone tub filled with cold water in the milk house. When she prompted me to smile, I had no difficulty in doing so. I wouldn’t miss them. The herd had been good to our family, but with my father gone, Clay leaving for Basic in two days, and my going to Madison in August, selling the cows to a trusted neighbor was the right thing to do. Clay didn’t smile so easily, but then he’d never been the type to smile for photos. Pictures of him in our mother’s album showed the sternest face in America’s Dairyland — not angry or sour, just stern. She did capture a hint of a smile in one shot that day when she oohed and ahhed at his muscles while toting surge bucket of one of the milking machines. After milking, we completed the morning chores but didn’t herd the cows to pasture; loading them in trailers was easier if we guided them from stanchions to the walled ramp at the barn doors. Melvin Zwijacz and his son Robert, eight years my senior and certain to one day take over his father’s operation, arrived soon after the chores. Though we’d sought to make our job easier by loading from the barn, cows are cows — stubborn, prone to urinating or defecating without warning, massive, and

dumbly strong. Not every cow presented a problem; Old Plug lumbered easily, her rear hips swaying slowly, without any prodding. Some, like the young cow we called SheDevil, proved difficult. She-Devil couldn’t be milked without positioning a large clamp, resembling an inverted horseshoe with a crank at its axis, in front of her rear hips. Cranked tight, the two halves squeezed to prevent her from kicking. We didn’t have the luxury of using the clamp for transport, and she did her best to do everything but what we wanted. Eventually, though, with the aid of shouts and raised arms, of waving broom handles and pitchforks, we loaded and transported all the cows. The job took hours. The adult cows were easier to load than the heifers, who hadn’t entered the barn since we pastured them in the spring. We collectively worked to close in on each heifer individually, herding it toward the barnyard door. Smaller than the cows, the heifers had spring in their steps. 800 pounds of Holstein trotting toward collision prompted each of us to step out of a heifer’s path more than once, requiring us to begin again our efforts to herd the animal into the barn and trailer. We didn’t stop for lunch. By three o’clock, we’d all sweat through our clothes and were covered to varying degrees with chaff, dust, and manure, but we’d successfully transported 42 adult cows, 24 heifers, and a dozen calves to their new home. Clay and I stood beneath the light pole near the asphalt shingled well cover. Clay, perched on the edge of the lid, didn’t
look as tired as I felt. As Melvin spoke with my mother and tucked his checkbook into his shirt pocket, Robert approached us. “Thank you, guys. Dad and I couldn’t have done this alone.” Clay shrugged. “It’s what neighbors do,” he said. “Not a problem,” I said. “We’re happy to help.” I wasn’t going to miss waking up for 5am milking. “We’ll take good care of them,” Robert said. “Your dad had a good herd.” “He did,” I said. “He wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to have them.” “It’s appreciated,” Robert said. “I’ve been hoping to grow our operation for a while now.” I saw an excitement in his eyes I’d never felt and was happy for him. “If there’s anything we can do,” Robert said, “to help you out. I know it can’t be easy with your mom being—” Clay interrupted him — not rudely, but coolly, in that way Clay had. “She’ll be fine,” he said. “We all will. Right, Walt?” I looked at my brother. “Right,” I said. Several of our mother’s siblings still lived in Shawano, much closer than either of us would soon be. Peace of mind. “We will.” After the funeral, I’d asked my mother if she wanted me to stay home that fall. She looked at me as if the sun had risen in the west that morning and made it very clear that I wasn’t about to abandon my hopes or her prayers for me. She said she hadn’t really thought about what she’d now do, but that her gardens always needed tending, that our church would never turn away a

volunteer, that the new library might need someone to re-stack the shelves and read for preschoolers at story time, or that she’d discover an adventure waiting for her. Melvin walked to us. Behind him, dark clouds gathered in the west. “Thank you,” he said. “Your father would be proud. You’ve taken good care of the farm, and we’ll take good care of the animals.” He shook hands with Clay and me. “Good luck at school, Walt, and Clay, do us all proud. Your father will be smiling down.” “Thanks,” I said. “I will,” said Clay. Melvin and Robert walked to their truck. In their movements, I sensed the same weariness that had settled in my bones. Mine surpassed the exhaustion of having worked since sunrise, though. If the last three years had beaten me down, the last month had drained me — but not drained enough to dismiss the thought that crossed my mind when walked toward the house and looked to the side yard, where the fruit of the cherry trees was just beginning to streak red. “Hey, Clay,” I said, “hungry for some chicken?” “It’s been a while,” he said, “but you know me.” “I do,” I said and went up the front stairs and into the mudroom for our gloves and a baseball. Chicken ball was a silly and, to be honest, dangerous game Clay and I had played since we were boys. Standing at opposite ends of the side yard — Clay near the outhouse that went unused since my parents installed indoor plumbing and I near the sprawling lilac bush whose lavender flowers perfumed the air each May — we lobbed high, soft tosses to loosen our arms. Once loose, we each took a step closer. Easy lobs became faster pegs, and as the distance decreased, velocity increased. We repeated the process: another step closer when we agreed it was right, sometimes with a word, but more often than not with a gesture or a nod. Ultimately, we stood no more than thirty feet apart, throwing the ball as hard as we could, aiming for a shoulder or shin, a knee or even a crotch, daring one another either to trust hair-trigger reflexes or to flinch and bail — to chicken out. As we took our places on either end of the yard, the clouds drew closer. Lightning briefly flashed, followed several seconds later by thunder rolling. Clay’s first toss was high and lazy, and I could easily see the slow rotation of the red laces as it dropped from the darkening sky. Though exhausted from the day’s work, I limbered up quickly. Muscle memory took over. Clay and I had played chicken ball more times than we could count, and for as ludicrous as the game was, we loved it. Clay and I were so different in so many ways, but this — this we shared: a link, however tenuous, to my kid brother. As we played, I wondered about my brother’s reaction to our father’s letters to us. I wasn’t surprised that we hadn’t spoken of them; it wasn’t the only subject floating between us that we couldn’t bring ourselves to voice, and I wasn’t going to force the issue. My openness with Meg and Tom and even my mother was counterbalanced by the silence between the men in my family. With each other, we’d always been detached. When frustration, desperation, or anger forced a moment to its crisis, we resorted to shouts, resentment, and uneasiness writhing like something electrical. Another step closer. Clay couldn’t have felt what I did when I read my letter. It was impossible. We may have spoken little, but history told me that much. He had his own dreams, and I could only imagine the measure of pride that filled him when he read our father’s thoughts about raising us to serve and be better men than him. Another step. Higher velocity. He had to be proud, embracing our father’s ideals, that he’d become the man our father envisioned when squinting through the mists of time for a glimpse of his sons in the future…
F i s h C r e e k B o o k s h o p & G a l l e r y | To p o f t h e H i l l S h o p s | F i s h C r e e k
Another. Faster. … that he — not me — was on the cusp of fulfilling the dream closest to our father’s heart, repaying the debt I’d never see as anything but a liability. Thirty feet. Terminal velocity. And all that — was okay. We chose targets with impunity. More lightning, more thunder. Clay’s next throw was low and hard, a beeline for my right ankle. I speared the ball just above the grass. I loved Clay. I returned his throw, left shoulder, snapping my wrist for maximum backspin. And it wasn’t simply blood. His throw streaked toward my left knee, my mitt swallowing it before it struck me. He was a hell of a ballplayer. Right shin. I wished the scouts had swayed him. I saw Clay as misguided, but his beliefs were his; I wouldn’t change them. The knee again. Rain began to fall. I was afraid for him. I knew he’d live through Vietnam, knew that as a soldier he’d carry his body with the same preternatural grace he exhibited on the diamond, treading lightly, gliding through razor grass, over paddy and trail without triggering a mine or allowing an unseen soldier to draw a bead. I threw sidearm, changing the trajectory of the ball, making it rise toward his throat. He snared it with nonchalance. I wasn’t afraid for his body. I feared for his soul. The rain fell in sheets, but we didn’t stop. Our mother called from the porch, but I couldn’t hear her voice over the thunder. The knee a third time. I couldn’t remember my last win in chicken ball. I might have been nine, maybe ten. A long time ago. I whipped the ball toward his chest, hoping in the act of catching it he’d hear. Not a word now. It’s okay. He’d even won when one of my throws had skipped just before reaching him, catching him in the mouth and snapping a front tooth cleanly in half. But someday. Angled away from me, I threw at Clay’s heel. You’ll talk. His left hand reached downward, snaring the ball and transferring it to his meat hand as he pirouetted to return the throw. You’ll need it. I caught the ball a hair’s breadth above the bridge of my nose. I’ll listen. As I gripped the ball, the hair on my arms stood on end. A concussion sucked the air from the world for a heartbeat. The butternut tree whose limbs hung over the cows’ path to pasture exploded in a flash of smoke and splinters. A thick limb groaned and dropped to the ground, pulling away the bark, exposing a white gash. Our mother screamed, but her voice came from somewhere far away, too far away to reach us. Clay, his smirk situated between amusement and wonder, crouched as he would in the field, motioning for my throw. I did, trusting I’d neither flinch nor bail.

How amazing to evoke a whole world in a small space, which ‘Chicken’ does so masterfully. The dignity and the strong bond of this grieving family are rendered with compassion and warmth. It’s also a quite admirable ‘brother story,’ which I am always a sucker for, and contains an earned moment of (actual!) electrical magic.

FICTION 2ND by Dan Powers
It looked like a picked-over carcass flipped on its back. Tires and pedals pointed at the blue summer sky, seat and handlebars cradled in the grass. Kevin thought, no, more like a patient – flat out on the operating table. But the thought quickly gave way to feelings of frustration and helplessness. Frustrated, because his dad had already showed him twice how to get the chain back on the sprocket. Helpless, because he lacked confidence and feared making it worse. This time the chain was solidly wedged between the rear wheel gear and the hub. It wouldn’t budge. If he yanked too hard on it, he might break the chain.
So he’d been out of commission all afternoon, like a cowboy whose horse had come up lame, or had been shot out from beneath him. He let out his breath slowly thinking how lucky he’d been not to go over the handlebars and land on his head when the chain suddenly jammed. He slowly turned the pedals by hand. They produced only a scraping sound, but no resistance. They moved easily but uselessly since they were disconnected from any functionality. That’s how I feel, Kevin thought. He didn’t really understand ‘functionality,’ but viscerally felt the emotional repercussion. To soothe himself and the patient – for by now
he was thoroughly invested in the idea of his bike as his faithful but injured steed – he said, “That’s OK boy, Dad’s home now and will be out in a minute to help us.” When he heard the back door, he jumped up and began talking even before he completely turned around. “Dad, I’m sorry. I know you showed me how to do this before, but the stupid chain is jammed and I didn’t want to accidently break it.” “That’s OK, we’ll get it fixed.” Mr. Cullerton’s assuring words seemed almost visible and a bit magical as they came wrapped in the exhaled smoke of his cigarette. He had changed into his household chore

trousers held up by a black belt with a buckle bearing the silver plated initial ‘C’ for Cullerton. It had been a gift from Mrs. Cullerton so long ago that as far as Kevin knew it was the only belt his dad had ever owned. His buttoned shirt and tie were gone and his v-neck white T-shirt, tucked into his waistband, hung loose against his narrow chest and the afternoon air. He gave the back of Kevin’s neck a light squeeze as he knelt next to the injured red Schwinn. “I see you started off on the right foot. You have the back wheel nuts loosened up.” Kevin felt a tiny flash of pride. He took a knee in imitation of his dad’s position. “They were tight, but I got them. I even remember you told me they were 9/16 inch and to use the box wrench instead of the open-ended so it wouldn’t slip off and smush my knuckles.” “That’s always a good thing to remember. I think we’re going to need a flat head screwdriver here.” Kevin was off towards the tiny garage before his dad finished. “There’s one on your bench in here. I’ll get it.” He was back in seconds. “Here, Dad.” He handed it to him and took a knee again, this time on the other side so he could better see and also to be out of the haze from the cigarette now dangling from his dad’s lips. Mr. Cullerton squinted through the smoke as he worked the driver blade beneath the chain and braced it against the hub. “I tried pulling it out, but it was too tight. See?” Kevin held up his hands to show his father the grease marks from where he’d grasped the chain. He wanted his dad to know he’d tried and not just waited for him to come home. “You can usually pry it out as long as you’re careful not to bend the links.” His dad wiggled the blade and dislodged the stuck chain with a flick of his wrist. “There we go,” he said as he handed the screwdriver back to Kevin. “Well since you already have your hands oily, why don’t you put the chain back on while I slacken the back wheel?” Again a sense of pride ran up Kevin’s neck. “OK.” He stood and re-fit the loosened chain unto the teeth of the pedal gear. As he did so he noticed for the first time one of the links looked strange and different than the others. “Dad, what’s this? This link looks wrong.” His father leaned forward to see as Kevin held the chain towards him knowing the gesture would again show off his oil-stained fingers. “That’s the master-link,” his dad said. He coughed twice and crushed out his cigarette on the lawn. “Master-link?” Kevin repeated. “What the heck is that?” “Here let me show.” His dad slipped his hand between Kevin’s without the slightest hesitation about getting oil on it. His left palm supported the chain, so the link was facing up and Kevin could see what he was pointing at with his little finger. “You see these two pins? This side has a double slot. It slides onto the pins and then the tension holds the link tight. This small clip then makes sure they don’t come apart. It’s called a master-link because you can pop the clip off and take the link apart and open up the chain.” “Why would you ever want to do that?” Kevin asked.
“Well, if there was a problem with the chain like you needed to thread it around or through a tight spot, or if you ever had to add or take a link out because it was too small or large.” He looked up from his hands to make sure Kevin was following his explanation. Kevin found himself eyeball to eyeball. His dad’s eyes were blue, the same shade as his own. Surely, he must have stared into his dad’s eyes sometime before, back when he was little and didn’t know it was rude to stare. But this felt strange, like he was looking inside his dad and seeing back to when he was just a kid his own age. “Dad?” he asked. “Who taught you all of this stuff?” Kevin would always remember the moment. Tiny and quick as it was, it etched itself deep into him. In later
years, sometimes it would float to the surface as one of those rare moments of deep connection between father and son. At other times it seemed, in retrospect, a moment of sadness. The visual memory though, when it drifted into his mind’s eye, was always the same. His father’s eyes seemed in that moment to slide from blue to a grey drizzly color, washed out like faded jeans. He’d also remember the words, even long after the sound of his father’s voice had faded from memory: “I guess…” his dad said and slipped his palm out from beneath the chain leaving it in Kevin’s hands. “I guess, unfortunately, I had to learn on my own.” It would be a long, long time before Kevin realized what his dad was telling him; about his own youth, about his own father, and about the potential of a master link.

Lost and Found FICTION 3RD by Roger Barr
“This ain’t how Grandma told us to go,” Connor says. Jake ignores him and trudges along Michigan Street, the waters of Sturgeon Bay glassy in the distance. Connor follows because he has no choice. “You going where I think you’re going?” Connor demands. “Jake? Are you?” “Maybe.” “You said you’d go by yourself.” “I lied.” “I don’t want to go there,” Connor says. “Cemeteries are creepy.” “Then go back to Grandma’s.” “No!” “Then shut up and keep walking.” They keep walking, making a right turn onto Bay Shore Drive. As they hike along, the breeze off Sturgeon Bay feels cool on their faces. “Why you like cemeteries so much?” Connor asks. “Because I do.” Jake regrets he ever mentioned his intentions to Connor. He doesn’t understand himself why, at thirteen, he’s developed such a fascination with cemeteries. There’s just something interesting about them. Back in Minneapolis, he sometimes drags Connor to the Pioneers and Soldiers Cemetery on East Lake Street, a few blocks from their house. They wander among tilting old headstones and newer stones of polished granite, reading the names, until Connor begs to go home. Jake has been itching to walk around in Bay Side Cemetery since spotting it when the two of them arrived in Sturgeon Bay three days ago to stay with Grandpa and Grandma Billings while their parents toured Europe. Grandma thinks they’re headed downtown to get ice cream cones. When he asked if they could walk downtown, she reluctantly agreed, giving him ten dollars and detailed instructions so they wouldn’t get lost. As if they could get lost in a town this size after growing up in Minneapolis. Grandpa and Grandma are nice, Jake thinks as he and Connor walk along, but it never feels right. It’s like they are out of practice in dealing with kids. Two or three times a year, they drive from Wisconsin to Minneapolis to spend the weekend. Jake is glad when they arrive and glad when they leave. Grandma is an older, fussier version of his mother. Grandpa is okay but sometimes he tries too hard. Or not hard enough. When their parents traveled once before, Jake and Connor had stayed with the Vandersteens next door. Despite their protests, this time they had been dumped here in Sturgeon Bay. “We gonna get ice cream or not?” Connor asks. “Later, if you’re good.” “Half of that ten bucks is mine,” Connor says. “Grandma said.” “Try an’ collect it, half a brother,” Jake says. It is a private endearment that Jake uses lovingly, as much to describe Connor’s still small stature as to acknowledge that they have different fathers. Having different fathers is something Jake is painfully aware of lately. It barely registers on Connor’s radar screen — despite the fact that at age nine, Connor is a clone of Ed Gilbertson and he, Jake, looks like someone else. When the three Gilbertson men, as his mother calls them, stand together, he feels like the odd man out.
In recent months things haven’t gone smoothly between Jake and Ed, whom he calls Dad, even though the step in their relationship sometimes feels more like a cliff. For reasons Jake can’t explain, he challenges Ed Gilbertson’s authority at every turn. Ed shrugs it off and says it’s hormones. His mother asks him what’s wrong, but Jake evades the real issue. Because she does. The Bay Side Cemetery grass has recently been mowed. The smell of the cut grass is faint in the air. Small American flags rise above a few gravestones, rippling in the breeze. For several minutes, they wander silently among the stones. Jake suddenly sees a large headstone, reddish in color. There is a familiar, forbidden name chiseled in the polished granite: GRANGER. On each side of the red headstone is a row of three flat gravestones. On one of them, Jake sees the name Adam Granger, and under it the dates February 7, 1974 - April 13, 2004. Instantly Jake understands that this is the reason for his fascination with cemeteries. Without admitting it to anyone, even himself, he’s been searching for this particular grave. To make it real. Suddenly it feels too real and he turns his head so Connor won’t see him cry. “What?” Connor asks. “Nothing.” He makes a show of looking at other headstones standing guard over family plots, but he can’t help glancing back at the red granite stone. Connor sees through the ruse. “What’s wrong, Jake?” Jake hesitates for a moment. If he can’t share this with his half a brother, then who is there? He puts a hand on Connor’s shoulder and walks him back to the red headstone. “Granger,” he says, “was my last name before our Mom married your Dad and they had you.” He points to the smaller stone. “That’s my dad.” “Holy smoke!” Connor exclaims. For a long moment, the only sound is the flutter of the flags. “Did you know him?” “No.” “What happened?” “He died in a car accident,” Jake answers. “Before I was born. There’s more to it.” He knows this not by what he’s been told, but by what he hasn’t been told. “Like what?” Connor asks. “I think it has to do with how the accident happened.” “Why don’t you just ask?” Jake almost smiles. Connor is too young to understand the gulf between the kid and the adult worlds. There are some things you never ask an adult, not if you want an answer with any truth in it. In the last year, when he really started asking questions about his real dad, his mother answered each question with a minimum of words, sending the message it was a forbidden topic. Everything he wants to know remains locked in the past. By not knowing, he feels like part of him is somehow lost, like losing a pair of gloves. “Come on,” Jake says. “Let’s go get ice cream.” Despite being from the big city, they manage to get lost on the way back to their grandparents’ house. As they wander around, a car suddenly swerves over to the curb.

“Where have you two been?” Grandma demands. They climb into the car. Jake shoots Connor a look that says keep your mouth shut. “I’ve been looking all over for you,” Grandma says. “I knew you’d get lost.” He could never explain to Grandma that suddenly he doesn’t feel lost at all. In fact, he feels like at last he’s found a part of himself, like one missing glove had turned up in Lost and Found. “It’s no big deal,” Jake says. “You found us.” The next day is Saturday. Grandpa is off work. About midmorning, Grandma decides to bake chocolate chip cookies and drafts Connor to help. “Jake,” Grandpa says, “What say we take a walk? Stretch our legs.” By the tone of Grandpa’s voice, Jake knows there’s no escape. Grandpa follows a route through town that brings them to Bay Shore Drive. He turns north and suddenly Jake knows where they’re headed. Grandpa cuts through the cemetery lots like he knows exactly where he’s going. When they reach the GRANGER headstone, Grandpa stops. Jake waits. Grandpa’s hands slide into his pockets. “So I understand you’ve been asking some questions around home, giving your folks a hard time. Your mother asked me what to do, and I said you’re old enough to know. She agreed.” Now Jake understands why he and Connor are staying here instead of with the Vandersteens. It makes him angry. “If she wants me to know something, then why don’t she tell me?” “It’s not something she likes to talk about,” Grandpa says. “So she asked me if I’d talk to you. What do you want to know?” Grandpa’s question bears the directness Jake has craved, but suddenly finds a little terrifying. “She told me he died in a car accident.” “That’s right.” “Is there more to it?” “There is.” Grandpa jingles the change in his pockets and looks toward the bay. “Your Grandma and I weren’t very happy when your mother married Adam Granger,” he says. “We knew the family. Let’s just say they were kinda rough and Adam was a wild one.” Grandpa shakes his head. “To make a long story short, around the time your mother married Adam, he got into drugs. It was hard on your mother. He used them more and more, and after a couple years, he started manufacturing them. He set up a factory out in the country where he made a drug called methamphetamine. The sheriff’s department arrested a bunch of drug users. They said they bought their drugs from Adam. The sheriff put Adam under surveillance and found his factory. They went out there one night to arrest him.” Grandpa taps the July date on Adam Granger’s gravestone with his toe. “That’s the date they went out. Adam found out the sheriff’s posse was coming. Somebody tipped him off, though the sheriff never determined who called. Officially. Adam made a run for it in his car just as they arrived. During the chase, he crashed his car. That was it.”
Grandpa falls silent. Jake thinks his way through what Grandpa has said and not said, decoding his meaning. “Was she the one who called him?” Grandpa hesitates and then nods. “It was real hard on your mother. She didn’t know where Adam was when she called him. She told him the sheriff had been to the house looking for him. She begged him to turn himself in. The sheriff determined she wasn’t involved in any of what Adam was doing and left her out of his report. But she blamed herself for Adam’s death.” Jake studies the gravestone. It is overwhelming, hearing it all laid out so matter-of-fact. This is a different side of Grandpa, one that Jake wishes he had known before. “Right after Adam died, she found out she was carrying you,” Grandpa says. “You’re the one good thing that came out of a pretty awful time for her. She needed to get away from here, start over. That’s why she moved to Minneapolis. Eventually, she met your step-dad. You know the rest.” It is Jake’s turn to nod. Everyone knows the story of how his mother met Ed Gilbertson in the business ethics class they were taking in night school, Jake thinks. God knows he’s heard it enough times, as if her life began on that day and everything Grandpa just told him never happened. He thinks of Ed Gilbertson and Connor, two thirds of the Gilbertson men. A question nags at him. “Do I look like him?” “Yes,” Grandpa says. “Adam was tall and rangy — like you.” That answers that question, Jake thinks, but generates another, scarier one. “You need to understand,” Grandpa says, as though reading Jake’s mind. “A man’s made up of more than flesh and bone. He’s also the sum of the choices he makes. Your father made a lot of bad choices.” Grandpa rests his hands on Jake’s shoulders. “There’s years of choices ahead of you, Jake. They’re yours to make, not your father’s. Ed Gilbertson is a good man. He can be the father Adam Granger never could be — if you choose to let him.” Grandpa claps him on the shoulders. “Let’s head back. I’ll bet those cookies are done.” They make their way between the gravestones. Jake looks back at the red headstone a final time. He senses that Grandpa’s account is an abbreviated version of what happened, sanitized to protect everyone involved — his dead father, his mother. Grandpa and Grandma. Maybe even himself. Connor, too. It is, he is coming to understand, what adults do. They leave the cemetery. Grandpa’s step has a lightness that wasn’t there when they first set out. So, Jake thinks, the rest of the story, the other glove, is laying out there somewhere, waiting to be found. He’ll keep looking. Someday. For today, one glove found is enough.

James Johnson’s eyes were on me. Not hard, not cold, not angry. Expressionless. I stopped knocking the dust and grit off me and realized I had a decision to make. His eyes waited. “Mr. Johnson, I’m sorry about your arbor here. I’d like to make it right.” “Do you know how to use a hammer?” “Yessir.” “And I suppose you have used a shovel before.” “Yessir.” He gestured me around the side of his garage into a small building. I suppose you could call it a shed, except that it was so – pristine. White, freshly painted. Window boxes with geraniums. I stood at the door. He handed me a shovel and placed a hammer, level, and several small tools into a wooden tote. “Pull the lattice off the pole. Pole’s in two feet, so you’ll need to dig it up and re-set it. Level and plumb line,” he gestured to the tool tote. “Save as many of the marigolds as you can. Don’t go near the roses.” His eyes waited for my nod. He turned and went in his back door. I had ridden the alley between Pine and Maple on the way home from my paper route, as always. This time, though, James Johnson, Jr. – Three-J to his buddies – had backed out of that garage in an old Ford F-150. He cut it too sharp and caught the edge of his Dad’s arbor, damn near running me over to boot. Knocked me off my bicycle. Yee-hawed loud and shot off in a spray of gravel and blue oil smoke. He was a block and a half away by the time James, Sr. came to see what had happened. I pulled the lattice gently off the tilted pole with the claw of the hammer. I spread a few of the newspapers from the tote next to the pole and shoveled up marigolds, putting them aside. I set to digging. It’s hard to tell if it was the heat of an Indiana summer that had me flushed and sweaty, or the humiliation of what’d just happened. I comforted myself by admiring the Johnson’s tiny back yard. I’d never seen it before, hidden by their garage and arbor. This neighborhood was The Heights. Most of the folks who lived here worked at the foundry. The houses are snugged tight against one another, only a thin sidewalk between each. Postage-stamp-sized front yards, cinderblock front porches. Some had screens. Otherwise the house number was all that told the difference. But this back yard was lush, manicured – made me think of the Garden of Eden. It had a patch of brilliant grass, tomatoes growing in neat cages, marigolds and flowers I couldn’t name, all precisely arranged and closely tended. I could see I had a tough standard to meet. I was about halfway through digging up the pole when Three-J and a couple of buddies buzzed down the alley to see what there was to see. He fishtailed some gravel my way and roared off laughing. James, Sr. was seated inside the house with his back to me. He had a guitar. He leaned forward and put the needle down on a record. “… shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. When I hear that whistle blowin,’ I hang my head and cry…” he played along with the guitar solo. Poorly. Then he lifted the needle and repeated. Then again. I lost count at about eighteen, when the heat and
humidity dissolved it in a cloud of sweat. It’s odd how your mind drifts to other places when there’s only drudge and discomfort in front of you. I remembered my math teacher, Mr. Walker. He’d nudged me on the shoulder just before summer vacation, smiling. “Next fall. Calculus.” “Calculus?” “You bet. You’re good with math. You can handle it.” “Okay – but what is calculus about?” Even in the swelter of the alley between Pine and Maple, I chuckled to remember how he’d lit into an animated description of the wonders of calculus, and the dizzying problems it could work out. Okay, I thought. So a rocket takes off and is creating thrust at a fixed rate. Every instant its speed increases; but its weight decreases, because it’s burned that much fuel. That means that it accelerates that much more, even though the thrust remains constant, but in the next instant it’s faster, but lighter. There’s really a way to work out where it’s going to land, even though everything is changing all at once? By the time I’d gotten the pole squared up and plumb, Mr. Johnson had played the whole guitar solo passably. He went through it a few more times as I shoveled back the dirt and re-positioned the marigolds. He was playing it confidently. If you press the point of those small finish nails with the side of the hammer head, you can back them almost-out of the lattice without dropping them into the dirt. Steering clear of the rose thorns and moving them as gently as I could, I pulled the lattice back into place on the pole. Even as sweaty and gritty as I was, I got a lot of satisfaction seeing that the finish nails lined up exactly with the holes they’d come out of. I tapped them back into place. I had the arbor back as it had been. I shook the last of the dirt off the newspaper onto the marigolds and straightened up the work site. I stood up from brushing the last of the dirt off the driveway. I heard a few steps. James Johnson’s eyes were back on me. Still expressionless, except that he surveyed the work I’d done with a faint nod. “Sir, I believe I’m done.” He nodded toward the tool building. “You see where the tools came from? “Yessir.” “Put ‘em up. Then you’re done.” I hung the hammer and level on the pegboard, put the shovel in its stand in the corner, and the small tools in the half-open drawer. By the time I’d shut the drawer and the building’s door, James, Sr. had gone back into the house. Instead, Mrs. Johnson was standing there, with a glass of lemonade in her hand. “Here,” she said. Her voice was almost too quiet. “I thought you might need this.” I had seen Mrs. Johnson before. She was always the one at the door when I came by on Thursday evenings to collect the 40 cents for the newspaper. Always a faint smile, always has the quarter, dime and nickel in a saucer on the front-hall table. I’d thank her, hand her the tab from the collection book, another faint smile. I’d never heard her speak before. No surprise: different churches, and in this town that’s everything. I imagined she was Baptist. Most of The Heights is. They have no truck with Presbyterians. “Thank you.” The lemonade was delicious. You can tell when it’s
come from a can, and this had been squeezed, strained, sweetened and iced. “It’s just the right thing.” Unlike her husband, her eyes were searching me intensely. “May I ask you something?” “Yes’m.” “What you did – I was watching. James, Jr. knocked that arbor over with his truck. Why did you take the blame for that?” I was trying to form an answer, but her eyes searched me until she said, “Wasn’t that a lie? Why would you lie to my husband?” I sipped her wonderful lemonade. “It wasn’t a lie. Not exactly. I said I was sorry the arbor was damaged, and I was. I said I wanted to make it right, and I did. Both were true.” “But why did you do that? Be straight with me.” Her eyes had shifted to a mother’s critical stillness. The lemonade was half gone. “I thought that only Three – uh, James, Jr. – and I were the only ones who saw that happen. When Mr. Johnson was right there, I decided that saying what I saw might amount to squealing on someone who’s bigger and stronger than me. It could get to ‘no, I didn’t’ and who’s-callin’-who-a-liar, and friends and cousins start gettin’ involved. Everything changes all at once. You can’t tell how it will end. Or when. It was quicker and easier to tell what I felt, rather than what I saw.” I thought of Mr. Walker, and had to choke back a smile. “Sometimes the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line.” Her eyes searched me busily again. I was already several hours late, and needed to get home for supper. “Mrs. Johnson, this truly is the best lemonade I’ve ever tasted. This makes the whole effort worthwhile. Thank you.” Again, the truth. She smiled her small smile, and took the glass from me. Mom chewed on me a little for coming home late, and dirty. I let her go on imagining I’d gotten caught up in a good baseball game. It wasn’t till the beginning of school in September that I began to see how my calculation had worked out. Several of the Johnsons’ neighbor girls talked to me in the hallway. Nothing great, but a hi-how-ya-doin’ can make your morning. Three-J’s brother Jared said his Dad told Three-J he couldn’t even work as hard as a skinny Presbyterian schoolboy. But come December 21 – well, that Thursday evening, at Johnson’s, my 40-cent weekly newspaper collection came with a Christmas card. Had a dollar bill in it. Also an excellent chocolate-chip cookie. Best I ever tasted.

Here’s a compelling story about that universal struggle to choose the right path and, as is often the case, how to even know what that is. How rare it is to see a well-rendered story about a fundamentally decent kid.

I’m washing my brother’s dishes. Actually, I’m boiling his flatware before I can begin the washing. It’s all that dirty: the knives and spoons coated with something filmy, the fork tines clogged with what might be old eggs. Other than the jarring sounds of pans sliding against pans as I search cupboards or move dishes from counter to sink, the cabin is utterly quiet, the heavy air undisturbed. My brother Steven — bearded, thin, and haggard enough to appear Christlike — says he might have barfed in the sink, but he’s not sure. He mentions this from the one comfortable chair in his cabin, where he sits naked from the waist down, cigarettes and vodka within easy reach, his long hands flat on the black leather armrests, his body motionless as he stares out the glass sliding doors to the woods beyond his deck. Steven’s golden retriever, her fur dull and matted, lies on the rug next to his chair. The dog doesn’t bark, or move her tail, but tracks my movements with her eyes. The nakedness is fair. Steven’s stomach is so distended from his failing liver that his pants are probably useless. Besides, he didn’t expect my visit. I’ve arrived without invitation, after driving on winter roads for several hundred miles, to see if he’s still alive. In our last telephone conversation, Steven ’s voice was low and full of pauses. He described shooting pains in his chest, how little he ate, how much he slept. While driving, I prayed he hadn’t answered his phone for the last several days because it wasn’t charged or because he was sleeping a lot, lost in the wild colored dreams he’d been telling me about. Both assumptions were correct. I discover this when I walk into his cabin, as casual as some neighbor with a coffee cake, although it’s
chicken and rice I’ve brought to cook for him. When I call his name he doesn’t move from the chair, greet me, or rush to cover himself. He just says, “I’m not going to some damn hospital.” Shutting the door behind me, I childishly reply, “No one asked you to.” I’ve messed up before, arguing or trying to reason; or worst of all, using my social worker skills — something he always detected and mocked me for — to get him to stop drinking, to change who he’d become. Even now, way into my forties, I’m only the younger sister, and anything I suggest is unlikely to happen. So I’ll boil the flatware and wash all the dishes instead, because nothing is clean and I want to make him a meal. It’s unlikely the dishes will get dirty again once I leave, not with how used-up Steven looks, not after his admission that nothing stays down anymore except for vodka. This is what I’m here for. With my grandmother and mother dead, it’s become my job to make a last attempt to save, or at least feed, my brother. I remember us eating meals together, the pancakes our grandmother made: the smell of bacon, the eggs fried in butter in a cast iron skillet. Our own mother always at the stove, making meat and potatoes and a vegetable each night. After supper the two of us would do the dishes together. Steven washing and me up on a stool drying each plate and putting it away in the cupboard where it belonged. I want to give this to him one more time, to change the air in the horrible cabin, cover the cigarette smoke, the unbathed body and dirty dog smell, change it to something like home — like our grandmother’s home. Like the people we were. Steven knows this, I’m sure of it. There’s the way he mentions the
sound of the chicken frying, and the way he sniffs the air as I turn the meat over in the skillet. I serve him such a small portion, resisting the urge to cut the meat for him. He eats everything on the plate, being precise about each bite, looking almost happy by the time he finishes. He tells me how good it tastes, but soon after he pushes heavily on the arms of his recliner to stand and make his way to the bathroom. I doubt he’ll reheat the leftovers I’ve wrapped and put in the refrigerator. Steven returns out of breath and with a towel wrapped around himself and tells me, “Don’t go in there.” I pull up a hard kitchen chair and sit next to the table piled with weeks of mail. I’d much rather scrub at spots on the counter, or vacuum around the dog, but I’m remembering that Bible story, the one about Martha and Mary hanging out with Jesus, how Martha cleans while Mary listens. I realize I’m imitating the wrong sister, so I stop and sit down. It’s clear to me I won’t visit Steven here again. Not with how large his belly has become on his emaciated body or with the way he’s missing his ankles, his lower legs just swollen, jaundiced blobs ending in feet. One foot, I notice, has dried poop stuck to it. I point this out and he expresses minimal interest, just moves his head unhurriedly to look, and says he doesn’t know if it’s his or the dog’s. He does not attempt to clean himself. Still, I press where his ankle should be, and comment on how long the skin takes to bounce back. There are lines on both legs, streaks of ochre against his skin’s oddly yellowtan color, like the straight roads on a map. They represent past bouts of diarrhea, I realize, but this time I stay quiet. Despite the gravity, the finality of this visit, my heart isn’t pounding and my thoughts aren’t all jumbled

and rubbery as often happens to me in a crisis. It’s more like the lingering cigarette smoke is a fog I wade through to face Steven. I fight the desire to pull back, to dissociate and watch the events play out from the ceiling somewhere or out in the woods — the woods my brother loved. I’m surprised by the memory of a phone call from months, maybe even a year, ago. He was sitting on his deck, tossing a ball to the dog he said — and drinking, from the sound of his voice. I was busy running errands and told him so. He mocked me and called me foolish for living my suburban life driving my van, doing everything from a list, and eating eggs only at breakfast. “That’s what you’re doing. I know that’s what you’re doing,” he accused from his sunny patio. My stunned silence as I drove the curved roads of my neighborhood encouraged him to ramble on. He said I could eat anything, anytime — there were no rules. His words were sarcastic, his laughter cruel.

If I keep working, if I vacuum, as my mother surely would, perhaps I’ll make up for the chicken, do something right. There is a risk to just sitting with each other, not even a sink of dirty dishes between us. What if I say something wrong, open some old wound between us, and there is never another time to fix it? I talk about my kids, ask questions about his dog, the best things he’s ever done, and about his worst memory ever. Without a pause, he tells about when he was a kid, maybe seven, and I was a baby. He was in the garage with our dad and Todd Markowski from down the block, who smoked smelly cigars. Steven sat in the driver’s seat of one of the old cars Dad loved to restore. I imagine the way his brown hair stood up in the back, his freckled face with its slanted smile. As Steven talks he looks out the screen window, at the spot between the pines where the deer come in the early evening. Steven was supposed to press the brake pedal so Dad could show Mr. Markowski something. He messed up — what little boy wouldn’t — pushed the gas pedal instead and caused some problem. Maybe the men jumped back, startled at the sound of the motor racing, or maybe the car lurched forward, Steven doesn’t say. But he tells about the swearing and name calling that came next, all in front of Mr. Markowski who kept smoking his cigar. Steven refused to go into the garage after that. In my mind, as Steven talks, I add bottles of Pabst to the workbench underneath the windows facing the backyard, and a smack as he’s hauled out by his elbow, the harsh words ringing from him, as he runs to his
room and slams his door. Or, it’s possible he sat frozen in the lousy cab of the broken car intent, despite the shouting, on the view of crab apple trees, wash lines, and our redshuttered house outside the double glass of windshield and windows. Maybe our mother’s shadow moved past a window, carrying the new sister he wasn’t allowed to touch without cleaning up first. Steven finishes his story and turns to me, “What you gonna do, write about it?” I remain silent, make no promises, already wondering how to memorize each portion of this day, how it might look on the page. I fear I’ll forget his sunken cheeks and ragged beard, or the way he lifts his unlit cigarette to his mouth inhaling and exhaling nothing. The drawn-out pace of his words, the raspy sound of his laugh, his light touch on my arm, and even the long imprint of my finger on his ankle make me wish for paper, some way to get it all outside myself. His dog cries at the door and I take her outside. Tail wagging, she checks the air and tests the length of her leash while I pour corn for the deer from a bucket in the shed. I’m on Steven’s property, his land ends where the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest begins, but it’s the crab apple trees in the backyard of our parents’ home I’m picturing. Steven could lean against a rake, motionless for long stretches of time. Mom and I would watch him from the kitchen window, her hand holding back the ruffled curtain so we could both see. I remember her exasperation at his lack of progress. How she’d say, “That kid … What’ll become of that kid?” I knew I could rake better, get rid of all the crab apples and make her happy if only I were big enough. Later, as I drive away from his cabin, another memory returns. I’m still little, and Steven wants me to toss a football with him. Crab apples and yellow leaves litter the autumn ground. Our laundry line posts denote end zones. There are the rich sounds of crackling leaves and pigskin hitting palms as he teaches me to catch and pass. He plays defense and I make my slow way towards those laundry pole goal posts. Success is in the air, as he allows me to get close, oh so close, to a touchdown. And then he uses all his power to push me back to the fiftyyard line and tackle me until time is finally called and the game is over. Driving south towards home I suppose Steven is in his chair, the dog stretched out beside him. They’ll both watch for deer that make their way out of the woods at dusk looking for corn. Later Steven will rouse himself enough to pour another drink or light a cigarette. I’ll futz with the car’s radio or talk on my cell phone. Both of us are moving on.

This is a gut punch of a story filled with indelible images – the clogged fork tines, the ‘jaundiced blobs ending in feet,’ the imprint of a finger on an ankle. I can picture it all even as I don’t want to, and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since my first reading. The starkness of the now is beautifully mixed with the past and what is, unfortunately, likely to happen next.

My parents would always have Paris. They met on Sunday, April 18, 1937, my father’s birthday, on a blind date on the western edge of the city. It was cloudy, and my mother wasn’t keen about the meeting, dragging her feet. She usually spent Sundays in the suburbs having lunch with colleagues and changed buses at the Porte de Saint-Cloud. To please a best friend, she was squeezing him in. She was 26, single, independent, cosmopolitan, working in the Paris office of my grandfather’s import-export business, a moderately successful pharmaceutical firm. Her flair for languages was an asset, coming in handy as she took dictation in her own multilingual brand of Pitman shorthand, handled correspondence and answered the phone. She tweezed her eyebrows, smoked, and had dared to pose nude for art students in a life drawing class. If she was handsome -- some would say even beautiful from the photographs -- she could never acknowledge it, being instead utterly convinced that she was ugly or at best plain, while her younger sister, with blonde curls and blue eyes, was the conventionally pretty one. She was smart and bookish; played the piano; and was not easily won or impressed. My father was a sound- and cameraman who had started out as a sales representative at Fox Movietone. Starryeyed about America, its cultural icons like Shirley Temple and Tom Mix, he was lured by drama and thrills, of travel across Europe and journalistic scoops. In Berlin, he photographed Hitler when he rose to Chancellor in January 1933, standing in the Reich Chancellery just a few feet away from him, and Mussolini’s family when my father, no longer able to work in Germany, was moved by Fox to Rome. During all this time, he didn’t seem to make the connection that as a Jew getting so close might put him in harm’s way. Perhaps it didn’t matter, because he was committed to covering the news. Or perhaps he was hoping this proximity might eventually pay off. It was something that, like so much else, I never thought to ask. Indeed, it was my father’s connection to Spain’s Generalissimo Franco that probably saved his life. My father had been sent to Spain in 1934 where, as a soundman, he had recorded bullfights, flamenco dancers and Seville’s Holy Week. In 1936, he had been assigned to cover the Spanish Civil War from Franco’s side, coming under fire near Málaga from

Loyalist troops as his team took their first combat pictures. One day in May 1937, scarcely a month after meeting my mother, he was stopped at Irún along the French-Spanish border and interrogated by a Gestapo officer in charge of German nationals in Spain. “Mensch, Sie sind doch Jude,” the German officer hissed at my father. “So, you’re a Jew.” My father was detained and sent to an internment camp in Fuenterrabía. As he was filling out papers there, he listed Franco as a reference, having interviewed him two days before in Burgos, then demanded to speak by phone to his press headquarters in Salamanca. He got through to a press officer who phoned the military commander in Irún who had him released. A slightly more dramatic version that I recall hearing from my father as a child had him behind bars yelling in Spanish, “I want to speak to Generalissimo Franco,” until a Spanish guard opened the jail door and told my father to get going, saying he’d look the other way. My sister always believed that was the better part of the truth. As a youth, my father had been raised in a close-knit, middle class, not particularly religious Jewish family that could trace its ancestors back to the early 18th century in southeastern Germany. Relatives had established themselves in and around Bavaria as innkeepers and optometrists, solid citizens respected by members of both Jewish and Gentile communities, according to an account my grandfather had written about his relatives. The Urkunde, the official document that had conferred German citizenship on one of my ancestors in the 19th century, was a treasured family heirloom, handed down along with the embroidered sheets and tablecloths that were either spirited out of Germany just before World War II by my aunt or put away for safekeeping by friends until family could reclaim the possessions after the war. I never found out which. After Hitler’s rise to power in 1933, after my father left home not to return again, he threw himself into gallivanting across Europe, fancying himself not a refugee but a foreign correspondent and ladies’ man, especially since he was on the rebound, not yet divorced but putting behind him a failed marriage to a woman he had wed years before in an extravagant, formal ceremony in a Kraków synagogue. That he was dapper was without question, a man who dressed impeccably in tailored suits
and hand-made, monogrammed shirts. He was over six feet tall, energetic, athletic, an ex-amateur boxer with a broken nose, a man who liked to pose, even mug, for the camera, a man without hesitation or reserve. He had been sent to good schools, like my mother, and was pleased he could still recite the opening sentences of The Odyssey in Greek, which he had learned along with Latin at the gymnasium, or high school. But when he and my mother met, he spoke in a peppery “Broadway English,” a patois of swear words, bloody this and bloody that, and street talk learned from an Italian cameraman. It never occurred to my father that no self-respecting Englishman would ever utter these kinds of phrases in polite company and it probably never crossed his mind that his brazenness and showy self-confidence might be off-putting to a well-brought up, reserved English woman. Or, did he just know his own charm? He was bent on seizing the moment, a man who didn’t so much embrace life as powerfully tackle it. For her, he must have been the brass section of an orchestra, a one-man band, a blaring, unapologetic, one-of-a-kind composition, pulsing his beats straight to the heart. When he first saw her – was she walking toward him, did he fix his gaze upon her, eye her up and down, or was she the one sitting down as he approached, did she extend a gloved hand, did he kiss it? – he knew he was not indifferent. A coup de foudre. A lightning bolt. Love at first sight. My father pressed my mother to meet him again that evening and she agreed. They ordered lobster -- because it was his birthday -- in a restaurant around the corner from the Gare Saint-Lazare. He walked her back to her hotel behind the Place de la Madeleine. The next day they lunched near the Rue Des Poules, and then, in the evening, without remembering being asked and without reconsidering, she went to his hotel, asked the night clerk for his room number, climbed the stairs, knocked on the door and walked in. During the next two years, from 1937 to 1939, my father’s situation became increasingly precarious. Since Germany’s racial laws had cost him his job in Germany, Fox shifted him to Spain; but the Nazis also made it impossible for him to continue working there and Fox transferred him to Italy. There were rushed introductions to family – my mother to my father’s mother and brother during a visit

to Rome; my father to my mother’s family in England on a 24-hour pass. Just before war broke out, my mother agreed to follow my father to Spain, ironically the only country now that would issue him a work permit. The border agents told her she was abandoning Britain in its hour of need. She swore she said, “I’m going to be with the man I love.” In Madrid, my father worked for Fox until the Spanish government acceded to Germany’s demand to bar German Jews from Spanish or German companies. My father resorted to making a living as a freelance photographer, his Jewish identity known only to close friends, while my mother taught English to the daughter of a Spanish duchess. In December 1940, visas finally in hand, my parents set sail on the Magallanes, a Spanish steamer bound first for Cuba and then New York City. They were leaving loved ones they would never see again – my father’s parents, who later would be deported to Theresienstadt, then executed in Treblinka, along with my father’s aunts; my mother’s beloved brother, a violinist turned artillery man in the British army who would be killed in 1942 in Crete, his body never recovered; and my mother’s father, who would die of heart failure in 1950. But in the early months of 1942, recently married and expecting the birth of my sister, my parents tried to be hopeful. Bad news would come later, shadows of the heart, phantoms of loss. Yes, they were alone in America, but full of New World optimism. They had their life together, beacons of light shone for them. In an early snapshot of them together, on an outing to Washington Square, they looked confident, their heads held high, my mother’s belly full with my sister, rounding the outlines of her cloth coat. As my parents made their way in America, putting down roots, the French private school they sent me to came to represent neutral ground in their own culture wars. As a small child going to school during the Great War, my mother had knitted bandages for wounded British soldiers and surely had been exposed to large doses of British propaganda against the Boches, the German enemy, although she never used that word. She never shared my father’s affection for German food and popular music, and their conflicting tastes sometimes would trigger an explosive exchange. He would go on the defensive while she would misguidedly try to settle

THE HAL PRIZE 2017
PHOTOGRAPHY NOTABLE “Hammock Joy” by Shannon Thielman I live in rural Marathon County with my six-year-old son, where we raise chickens. We travel to Panama every other year because after having served in the Peace Corps there from 2002-2003, people in these villages seem like family. These children (three Panamanian and one, my son, American) were enjoying popsicles together after a long afternoon playing. Their joy is nearly constant, and is in stark contrast to the economic poverty their families face.
things by saying he wasn’t really German, or “Jews go one above every race.” At those moments he would cry out in exasperation and disgust, bang his fist on the table, and storm out of the house. The tension, as I now see it in broader terms, was between decades of attempted Jewish integration into the larger German society by my father’s family, and my mother’s ideas about Jewish exceptionalism. My sister and I were witnesses, hostages. My mother never considered that I would have any difficulty thrust into an utterly foreign linguistic environment where, at first, I couldn’t communicate. She assumed that I would simply catch on, much as she thought she had as a child when her father decided that at the dinner table his family would speak French. My mother had become a convert of this over-zealousness. When my grandfather sent her to work in his Paris office he may not have seen the posting as a reward for her follow-through or belief in him, but for her it was all that, and an idealized, almost innate faith in France.
And there was no escaping my mother’s preposterous name. My grandmother, in what must have been a romantic haze as she expected her first born, invested in my mother much of her own youthful imagination and yearning for French ground and culture, for the people she had come across in life and in books. Like so many Europeans of her generation, she had been won over by France’s idealized “civilizing mission,” its centuries of international influence. When my mother was born, just a few, short months after my grandparents had married, my grandmother named her child Clementine Marie-Antoinette Martine. Through her school years, my mother insisted it took teachers an eternity to read her name out, that she could walk to the front of the classroom to pick up an exam paper before they had even finished calling on her. When my parents married, she didn’t object when my father insisted she become simply Tina. It was the only time she let anyone kill her connection to France.

“
This story is cinematic in scope filled with vivid descriptions as the author tries to make sense of her own life in the story of her parents’ early life and courtship. The opening makes you think you’ve read this story before – they’d always have Paris – but it quickly charts a different course. The details of their lives and characters are exact and yet spare, painting a rich portrait of two very different people coming together in just a few pages.

It was late of April and the sea ice had all but disappeared from the edges of the channels and bays. The sun felt warm on our backs. Though it yet harbored some coolness, the air was warming, and had a heady aroma that smelled at the same time of fresh linen and earth. The doldrums of winter were reliably over, and we were ready for another season of adventure in the limitless possibilities of our world. My crew and I strode through the ripening field of grasses and wildflowers, and when atop the last hillock before the harbor, we saw her there below our feet, riding high at tie-up. Her bare yards beckoned us as if with welcoming arms. With one mind, we all stood there agape, taking in the sights, sounds, smells, and potential of the day that welled inside our breasts. The march down the hill and conversation with crewmates escaped my remembrance as I suddenly found myself dockside, ready to board. Now close to her, we stood transfixed for the second time, drinking in the width, breadth, and awe of the vessel that would bear us up on her planks to destinations only imagined. We had not noticed her for what she was before. It was just a tree that had fallen in a gale some years before, left to succumb to the ways of nature. The bark was gone, and certainly no leaves. But, to me, my sister, Kathy, and our neighbors, John and his brother, Joel, it became that day a schooner set in the sea of warming prairie, floated by our spirits, and propelled by our youthful imagination. One by one, we clambered aboard. It was a very large tree, with the trunk held high up off the ground by its branches. Our efforts of throwing a leg over the trunk and hauling ourselves up hand over hand by pulling on still supple branches added to our image of manning a real ship of the line that was not made for human comfort, but for speed and transport over the brine. Once standing on the deck and viewing our surroundings from a higher perspective, everything looked different, making it easy to ascribe new characteristics to our neighborhood, as we imagined the grassy yards a blue ocean, the homes distant islands far offshore. Gazing upwards into the branches reaching skyward over our heads, the masts and yardarms that had been purposefully set for us in the firmament by the very wind itself, were poised to capture the force of that ether as it blew across us, toward wherever we willed it to. Our preparations for voyage continued, as we disembarked momentarily to fetch household items necessary to complete fitment. Lengths of rope and an old bedsheet were commandeered for rigging, and piping from an old plumbing project for cannon. We finished the fitting out with, what was standard childhood equipment in our youth, our ever-present cap pistols and rifles to handle any adverse consequence of unfortunate encounter. After tying the sail to the upper branches and stringing the ropes from yardarm to yardarm, we were by all accounts ready to embark upon the open waters. And, so we

Joel was hurt by a seemingly innocent nickname, Jojo, that made him feel small, unimportant, and ineffective. Kathy spoke of the unrealistic expectations our mother had been placing upon her outward appearance. Although their words did not use those terms, as their meaning would not be known to any child, the theme of their experiences would make an internal connection and bring understanding as we developed into adulthood. My experiences and feelings would remain silent and unshared for many more years. With time, I too would be able to feel these things as my shipmates had at an earlier age, and make sense of the world to a somewhat greater degree than before. I would go on to resign my self-appointed role as captain, as I became aware that I was merely a passenger upon my ship. All of us grew to become contributors to the society in which we were placed. We made decisions on behalf of, and issued encouragement and warning to, others as well as ourselves. We based this upon what we understood of our world, and what we had learned in our travels.

On Coming Home from the Conference the time spent shopping for drapery, who would remark on how nicely the pleats hung or how the color complemented the tile flooring instead of criticizing him. A woman who would have been home helping instead of off adventuring. Bruce and Elizabeth, our 17-year-old daughter, were watching television when I came downstairs. Regretting my negative comments about the new bathroom curtain, I casually asked, “So, what’s with the body wash — the pheromone infused one?” Elizabeth looked up from the TV. “I wondered about that too.” Bruce, from his usual spot on the couch, replied “The Dial? It was on sale. $2.79.” After describing the cost of the other brands he added, “I don’t even know what pheromones are.” I thought this answer came a tad fast. I countered, “Well, you know what ‘attraction enhancing’ means.” “I don’t think it says that.” At this point Elizabeth, clearly enjoying our exchange, happily ran upstairs for the offending cleanser and rushed back downstairs to read aloud the aforementioned descriptions. Bruce, wearing a long sleeved white t-shirt pallid against his winter skin and black shorts with multi-colored socks, refused to understand the implications and suggested there was no need for enhancement as he had always been a “stud muffin.” Then he turned his gaze back to the antics on Storage Wars. I couldn’t let it go. For the next several mornings I faced the accusatory block letters throbbing against the blue ribbon. I wondered if this was how it happens, small omens laughed off or dismissed in the busyness of work, raising kids, and the sweet complacency of marriage. I couldn’t resist Googling “pheromones” and found scant evidence to support liquid soap as a sexual attractant. And the body wash’s list of ingredients actually read nearly the same as my shampoo’s. Of course this wasn’t the important thing. It’s not the reality of the ingredient, but the belief system created. Tell yourself you’re more enhancing and the odds are you will be. That’s what I would tell one of my psychotherapy clients anyway — right after gently confronting the insecurity lurking around the edges of the story. At the same time I might wonder aloud to him or her, “Why all the concentration on this?” To switch chairs for a minute and answer my own question — I can feel the blush crawling up my face — aren’t I the one with the opportunities? Night after night of post conference schmoozing and, at the very least, all that elbow rubbing?
It’s not only opportunity. It’s history. My family includes generations of adventurers and gallivanters. Heck, both my greatgrandfather and father became mid-life runaways, and my maternal grandfather was infamous for a septuagenarian fling with his cousin Bernice. It seems my over-concentration on body wash may have been scented with projection. But it’s the adventuring I’m attracted to, not some need to stray — a desire, stronger with age, to be off exploring more than at home decorating. It’s an itchy feeling of not fitting in when everyone gathers around the TV for the night. With this analysis I understand that my fears of becoming like my overanxious mother may have kept me from recognizing the more captivating danger — that of my father’s wanderlust. I mull these ideas while I pin back the curtain a week later, the color nice against the woodwork, the window no longer muffled. “Did you see how I changed the curtain?” I asked Bruce when he hadn’t praised my domestic exertion within an hour. “Yea, I thought I already said that. You can see the backyard a lot better.” He was right — the view was much improved. The hammock swaying between our two apple trees, the new outdoor furniture on the patio, and the baskets of flowers hanging from the fence were all more inviting without the gauzy material in the way. However, too often it was my thoughts that I saw when I looked out the window, my focus coming to rest on whatever confirmed the images tumbling around my head. Or maybe all those sneaky pheromones caterwauling through the air and just looking for trouble continued to blur my vision. Most days though, the cars that journeyed on the highway visible beyond our backyard caught my eye at least as much as the hammock, the planters, and the deck chairs.

This story captures what I think (and maybe hope for my own sake!) is a common experience of seeing something and making assumptions about the people in our lives. There’s an uncertainty many of us have that can send us spiraling, even when we, like the author, should know better. It’s always nice to know you aren’t alone and that those feelings come from somewhere, even from your own family history.

I came home from the conference buoyed by the breakout sessions, refreshed by time with friends, and packing plenty of convention hall swag. My flight came in early, my luggage arrived safely, and my husband, Bruce, picked me up outside the airport as planned. The house sparkled and smelled of PineSol when I walked in. I was glad to be home in my familiar, predictable place of spouse, kids, and dogs — and grateful for my better half, a guy who actually enjoys cleaning and takes good care of the family. After I unpacked, I headed into the upstairs bathroom and discovered a new ruby colored curtain adorning the window that overlooks our backyard. I called to Bruce, “It’s okay, but it sure cuts off the view.” “We can take it down.” “No, no, it’s fine.” In the shower, washing the travel away and returning to myself as wife and mom, I noticed a new body wash. Dial for Men. It sported an attractive red and gold label featuring the word “Magnetic” and, in block uppercase letters, the tag, ATTRACTION ENHANCING. Underneath this, also in block uppercase, but penetrated by a strip of manly blue, the phrase: PHEROMONE INFUSED. What, you might ask yourself — as I did, while working my own mildmannered shampoo into my hair — is a contented husband doing with body wash labeled “pheromone infused?” And, you might wonder — again, as I did by the time I moved onto conditioner — exactly what pheromone infused means. I thought pheromones were naturally occurring chemicals that made the person across the room hot for you as long as you were single and unattached, but then withered away once you became happily married. I recognized, with the sixth sense borne of my many years as a social worker, that I was avoiding any cognitive or emotional examination of the phrase “attraction enhancing.” It crossed my mind that product placement in such a highly trafficked area — used by daughters, guests, and me — implied a certain innocence or obliviousness. However, it might also suggest an initial, subconscious inkling of dissatisfaction in what had seemed, only moments earlier, a solid marriage. In fact, toweling off, I pictured myself typing these very words on some future tearful morning, alone but for a lukewarm cup of coffee, relating how I missed the first signs of trouble, let my attention waver, and paid the price — the children only visiting, the dogs forlorn, and the house for sale. Bruce now with a woman more appreciative of his fresh look, one who would recognize

It is April, warmer sun bringing a gentle day. Leafless branches, no touch of green yet to be seen, frame my view of Lake Michigan. Yesterday, at this same place along the bluff, I saw whitecaps breaking in steady rows upon the beach below. Today, with no wind, all is still. I live in Milwaukee and today I am in my place on a wooden bench in Lake Park, a short walk from the senior residence I call home. My husband and I named it our bench, the first of many resting places along a winding path we also called ours. From the first day, we used that possessive plural...and developed a comfortable pattern when in the park: We walked a bit together, then Jim stopped at a bench with a good view while I continued further down the path. He always encouraged me to keep walking and I knew he was content, waiting for my return to tell stories of what he had observed in my absence. Black and white photos of the late 1800s show women in long dresses and men in top hats sitting or strolling sedately along the same pathways we use now. They would be surprised to see skateboarders and joggers, but the lawn-bowlers of today still wear the whites of an earlier time. Beyond their court is a playground with swings and ball fields where families gather to watch their offspring kick, throw or hit balls of any shape and size. The same families return in the evening with picnic suppers, ready for music under the tree and stars. The combination of relaxing and doing would please Frederick Law Olmsted, the landscape architect who in the late 1890s designed Lake Park. Known for his planning of Central Park in New York City, he envisioned the same natural landscaping with meandering paths offering surprising vistas at every turn. There are no formal gardens, just 138 acres of open meadow-like spaces, wild areas of shrubbery, growths of trees, and a waterfall. Two iron bridges guarded by eight concrete lions span ravines filled with wildlife and, if you look over the railings, you’ll see cedar paths cutting through woodlands to the lake beyond. Fallen trees and shrubbery provide safe hiding places for wildlife. Straight lines stretching out to other straight lines did not interest Frederick Olmsted. Here on our bench, I recall the day we found another couple sitting here and moved to the next bench. That is when I noticed a bronze plaque attached to the slats forming the back. Etched into the plate was a quote attributed to Albert Einstein, Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature’s beauty. The words were chosen by a family with a canine friend, Skipper Bud. We were curious about those who honored a dog and a scientific genius in the same sentence. Our discussion was interrupted by voices rising from the beach below and unfamiliar bird song coming from the trees along the bluff in front of us. Our world was no longer anchored to one small bench: with no effort on our part, we had widened our circle. Einstein’s words made us curious about the trilling and tweeting in the trees in front of us, the lives of the those playing in the sand below. A brief return to our bench showed no such inspiration and dedication. But what about the next one down the path? I got up and walked over to investigate and read, Nature speaks in symbols and signs. The words etched into the plaque were attributed to James Greenleaf Whittier. Jim had vague memories of a distant classroom…an old woman and a soldier on horseback. At our age, names and dates slip and slide, in and out so easily! What can you do but smile? That first day, we wandered from bench to bench, reading the words of Frederick Law Olmsted, Virgil, John Muir, Mary Oliver, and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. In less than half a block, we met a scientist, philosopher, adventurer...and poets. Because I carry a notebook in my pocket like all writers do, I wrote down the names and the quotes attributed to them. My plan was to find all the benches with such tributes, write them in my book, research the authors, then write a poem in response, maybe to the person sitting on the bench, the writer of the words, or myself. Jim nodded in careful agreement, but vowed to stay out of the ravines. We found benches everywhere...along the familiar bluff path, around the mini golf course, and in the open meadow. At the top of the waterfall, A.R. Ammons and John Muir mused about the power of wind. William Stafford wished us to sit and converse with a Civil War hero captured in bronze across the way. And the two benches honoring Joyce Kilmer were in a grove of trees, of course! I explored the ravines on my own, venturing beyond crumbling passageways to the baseball diamonds and summer stage where I discover Robbie Burns facing the lawn bowling court, Hamlin Garland hidden at the edge of the woods and Aldo Leopold across from the playground. Since we knew little about the illustrious men and women whose words we found, I delved deeper into their lives. For example, that man on the second bench...James Greenleaf Whittier? Jim was right. All school children from a certain time knew about Barbara Frietchie’s old grey head and that barefoot boy with cheek of tan. Of course, that Whittier! But we did not know about him as fervent abolitionist, friend of Emerson and Longfellow, radical reformer and Quaker. The poem I wrote pictured Whittier in the silence of a Quaker meeting room, but seemed directed at Jim. When I closed with these lines, Share this bench with him and listen for the still, small voice he knows speaks into the quiet

he understood, for my husband was a quiet man who relished his moments of solitude in the midst of days filling with changes he found hard to accept. It was strange: While in the park, whether walking or resting, we relished the thought that nothing stayed the same: one day the lake holding three shades of blue and white waves, a red boat with a yellow sail; the next day, offering oil tankers floating in the air, suspended between grey sky and water of the same color. These surprises from one day to the next seemed right, natural. Changes in our own lives were different. They were happening to us...without our permission, setting both of us on edge. Yet, we were also learning how to find peace. John Muir spoke into the quiet we came to appreciate. The Father of the National Parks read Emerson while camping among the Redwoods of Yosemite, and from this place shared, Nature’s peace will flow into you As sunshine flows into trees.
Benches
And full-leafed trees shaded us that summer, while providing nesting places for robins and anchors for hammocks. Among them we could rest easy. Anton Chekhov, wrote of what we were learning, but could not say aloud, his gentle lesson, Let us learn to appreciate There will be times when The trees will be bare.

whispered soft, while we relished every walk, every rest, every glorious moment of summer. Jim often walked to the park and did not get further than our bench. And I walked alone, exploring hidden corners, finding benches deep in ravines full of shade. Together or separately, we watched summer leave and autumn arrive, unaware our bare time was coming, was closer than we thought. The trees that autumn never seemed more beautiful...golden maples and red sumac bright against blue sky and lake. Jim sat more and walked less. One day, after watching a flock of geese move across the horizon, we went to Mary Oliver’s bench and read together,

The world offers itself to your imagination, Calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting We did not leave the spot until the last geese were out of sight, the sky quiet. Did we talk about the last three words? I don’t remember. In late fall, Jim stayed at home as winds from the north blew the last leaves from the trees. The park I visited was one of bare trees and brown grass. But the lake was still blue, the benches still inviting. Returning to my desk at home, I wrote, Only when the leaves fall, can we see the stretch of sand below the bluff, the lake stretching to the sky. Only then, can we see the shape of each tree, how their branches reach for the sky.

I finally understood the words of Chekhov, words we read together in the full bloom of summer. In winter, with sidewalks and paths too slippery for walking, I stayed inside, writing poems, responding to the quotes we both knew. Jim sat in his big chair, content to watch the snow fall outside his window. In that quiet, I remembered a poem written in the 8th century, attributed to Anonymous, who I decided was an Irish monk living in a beehive hut. He wrote,

In the peace of that time, with the days so short and the nights so long, I responded, I too sit in quiet, light holding me in place moving across the pages, the margins of my life. Jim died in March, a week before the returning of light, the Vernal Equinox. Suddenly my whole world changed. My companion of 56 years no longer walked beside me. I was alone. I did not return to Lake Park until the snow melted. Then, though trying to become at ease with the first person singular, I headed for our bench. I sat still, looking around me, taking in a different silence. When a Red-winged Blackbird called from a thicket of trees below the bluff, I got up, eager to get a glimpse of this harbinger of spring, early arrival to a still-cold world. He was elusive, drawing me further down our path. After a nod to Einstein and Whittier, I came to Frederick Law Olmsted. I stopped there, reading and rereading, Gradually and silently the charm comes over us, The beauty has entered our soul.
Kathleen Phillips lives in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Home is Eastcastle Place, a senior residence three blocks from Lake Michigan. On the bluff overlooking the water is Lake Park. That is where she and her husband walked as often as they could before his death. That is the place where they both found wonder...and she found poetry. This piece tells of that journey, the journey two people in their 80s who have walked together for 56 years and finding peace at the end. She is a member of WFOP and has been published in many journals and anthologies.

We all have routines and things we think of as ours, like the bench and the routine described in this story. And yet, just by stepping even a bit outside that routine – to another bench – we can often discover something entirely new about a familiar place. This is a big story about a small thing – a park bench.

He spoke of beauty...and I recalled what Jim and I found here in this park along the bluff. He spoke of the soul, of what we often felt, but could not see...the song of the blackbird, the sound the wind makes in bare branches, water in waves moving to the shore. And, in this time and place, gradually and silently, I added to that list: the voice of a loved one who never leaves, Jim’s voice whispering words only I could hear, that in the midst of life that would continue to change, he would always be near, waiting in the silence we both learned to loved.

NEWS BULLETIN WHAT HAPPENED
• This winter, visitors to Winter Park in Kewaunee County will head to the top of its six-lane snow tubing hill via a Magic Carpet. The standing conveyor belt lift, which was ordered in spring, has arrived and the Kewaunee County Promotion & Recreation Department, as well as the Winter Park Association, will soon begin installation. In preparation for the moving walkway, the snow tubing hill has been reshaped. Framing will be done before the mat is rolled up the 220-foot slope of the hill that has a 70-foot vertical drop. The Magic Carpet is replacing the tow rope, which is being repurposed at the beginner’s ski hill after it’s retrofitted with handles. “This is a huge improvement to Winter Park,” said Dave Myers, Kewaunee County Promotions & Recreation Director. “We’re going to be the one and only snow tubing hill in our area to have this feature for visitors, which will be more efficient and fun to ride.” Last season at Winter Park, approximately 6,700 of the 7,200 visitors purchased passes for the snow tubing hill during the six weeks it was open. • The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources announced this week that it reissued a Wisconsin Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (WPDES) Permit to El-Na Farms LLC in the Town of Lincoln in Kewaunee County. The farm has approximately 1,350 milking and dry cows, 850 heifers and 500 calves, equaling 2,675 animal units, which produce approximately 16.5 million gallons of manure and process wastewater as well as 5,000 tons of solid manure annually, on approximately 4,982 acres. The permit took effect Aug. 1 and is good through July 31, 2022. The farm plans to expand to 5,970 animal units. In responding to public comments about the growth of this CAFO at a permit hearing held in Luxemburg on June 27, the DNR wrote: “The Department does not claim that CAFO WPDES permits are ‘zero risk’ permits and the Department acknowledges that there have been impacts associated with CAFOs, some of those impacts have been significant. However, the Department believes that the WPDES permit program has been an effective means to address these impacts and avoid impacts from occurring in the future. As with any license or permit that is issued, there is always the potential for environmental impacts associated with permit noncompliance or situations not easily or explicitly addressed by prescriptive permit requirements.”

Kitchens Sees Foxconn Deal as State’s Rust Belt Exit by JIM LUNDSTROM jim@ppulse.com
S
ome see it as a jumpstart for Wisconsin to shake off its Rust Belt trappings and enter the 21st century, while others see the deal with Taiwanese contract manufacturer Foxconn Technology Group as the sort of corporate welfare that House Speaker Paul Ryan and President Donald Trump have railed against in the past. “This is a once-in-a-century opportunity for our state and our country, and Wisconsin is ready,” Gov. Scott Walker said in a statement announcing the Foxconn plan, which includes $3 billion in state tax breaks to the tech giant to build a $10 billion plant in southeastern Wisconsin to make flat-screen TVs. Initially the plant would hire 3,000 workers and could grow, according to Gov. Walker, to 13,000 workers. Under the deal, Foxconn would receive up to $200 million annually in refundable tax credits for 15 years, up to $2.85 billion. It also waives $150 million in sales taxes on building materials, equipment and supplies. The draft legislation also calls for issuing up to $252.4 million in state debt to update beleaguered Interstate 94, which is in the area being considered for the plant. Troubling to environmental groups, the draft legislation also waives the required state environmental impact statement and does away with wetland and waterway permitting. “A rollback of such an extreme nature is unnecessary,” the nonpartisan Wisconsin League of Conservation Voters said in a statement. Others have pointed out that Foxconn has a history of making big promises without delivering, and point to a plant in Pennsylvania that never materialized and several others around the world. And at least one economist, Michael J. Hicks at Ball State University, wrote in a column at Marketwatch.com that, “Foxconn bears no meaningful risk in this deal.” But after a meeting with Gov. Walker and other officials on Tuesday, Rep. Joel Kitchens said he and his colleagues learned more about the deal. Kitchens said going into the meeting, he had a pretty good understanding of the economic side of the deal, but he did have some concerns about environmental questions. “It’s being portrayed that we’re giving them a pass on all this stuff,” Kitchens said. “I really feel pretty comfortable about it at this point. We’re just trying to streamline it. When the chairman [Terry Gou] was looking at Wisconsin, one of the most important things to him is that it could be done quickly. He wanted this place up and
running as soon as possible. We’re trying to streamline the process. Wastewater treatment, air pollution standards, exactly the same, all federal requirements the same. It’s just the permitting process that’s being changed.” For example, he mentions the state waiving the environmental impact study. “That takes a year to do that and in the end all it is, is an advisory. They still have to do a federal environmental impact study,” Kitchens said, adding the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources will oversee the project. “In the case of wetlands remediation, normally you’re required to replace 1.2 acres for every acre that you degrade,” Kitchens said. “We bumped it up to two acres. They don’t have to go through the permitting process ahead of time, but the DNR will be watching and they will certainly be held to the standard that is required. It is incumbent upon us that the DNR provides necessary oversight. There’s not a single standard being loosened for them. It’s just the permitting process.” As far as the economics, Kitchens said unlike other states that made corporate deals without promises of jobs, the Foxconn deal is tied to performance. “They don’t get a penny until they’ve hired people and until we see paystubs,” he said. “If they don’t produce the jobs, they don’t get the money.” Kitchens agrees that it is a good deal for Foxconn, but adds, “honestly for me it goes beyond just what this plant will produce. I think it can transform the economy. We’re sort of stuck in the Rust Belt economy and we need to move into the 21st century. We can’t do that by sitting back. These companies have a lot of places they can go, and we can argue philosophically that we shouldn’t give away money to businesses, well, every other place is doing it, so you’re either in the game or you’re not. I think compared to other deals other states have done, it’s a pretty good deal.” Kitchens mentions there has already been talk that American glass manufacturer Corning could invest another $1 billion to set up shop close to Foxconn as a supplier of glass for the LCD screens. “Supposedly they will have 150 suppliers, and they want people that are close,” Kitchens said. “I think a lot of Wisconsin businesses are going to see benefits from it or even be created from it. That’s where there’s an impact. And 10,000 people to do the construction.” Kitchens added that Foxconn would like to break ground next May. Gov. Walker is expected to call a special session of the legislature to consider the Foxconn deal.
DOT Seeks Comments on Remote Bridge Operations
T
he Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) held a public meeting Aug. 1 to present data about the test period of remote operations of the three Sturgeon Bay bridges. All three bridges have been operated from the Oregon Street Bridge since 2014. The Michigan Street Bridge has operated remotely since 2011. The United States Coast Guard (USCG) will evaluate the data and public comments and determine whether to extend the test period, modify the arrangement, or make the remote operation arrangement permanent. Operating the bridges remotely has brought bridge operations costs down from $1.03 million per year to $340,000, almost entirely through manpower savings, according to Jason Lahm from the WisDOT. If the operation is made permanent and added to the national register, it would make the canal the first waterway operated entirely remotely in the United States, Lahm said. The WisDOT is still accepting questions and comments from the public by email at jason.lahm@dot.wi.gov.

Council Votes to Tear Down Granary by MYLES DANNHAUSEN JR. myles@ppulse.com
T
he old granary building on Sturgeon Bay’s west waterfront will be razed in January if a private group or individual does not come forward with funds and a plan to save it by Jan. 1, 2018. The granary, which may be added to the National Register of Historic Places this month, has fallen into disrepair since the city purchased it in 2012. After Fire Chief Timothy Dietman issued an emergency order barring access to the building for safety reasons May 26, the city solicited bids to stabilize or raze the structure. Estimates to raze the building ranged from $65,000 – $85,000, while estimates to stabilize the structure ranged from $138,739 – $148,739. Those estimates made Alderman Stewart Fett lean toward razing the structure. “Obviously, if you read through it the foundation is in bad, bad shape and needs significant money to be repaired,” Fett said. Fett motioned to demolish the building no sooner than Jan. 1, 2018, to allow time for a group or person to come forward to save or restore the elevator. In the public comment period, city resident Hans Christian presented a rough outline for a Center for the Arts that could incorporate the granary. Christian said the center would possibly serve as a new home for existing arts organizations and an educational center. Alderman Ron Vandertie blamed the lawsuit brought by Friends of Sturgeon Bay Public Waterfront for the predicament. “The reason the granary is still standing is because there was a pricetag of $65,000 to tear it down, and we were led to believe there was interest in using the building in new development,” he said. “Since the lawsuit, we’ve not only lost the brewpub restaurant, but we’ve lost a developer who possibly would restructure and use it. It’s the lawsuit that has put us all behind the eight ball.” The motion carried with Alderwomen Barbara Allmann, Kelly Catarozoli and Laurel Hauser dissenting.

She led the fight against President Trump’s budget proposal to eliminate the federal CDBG program, which funds local community development initiatives that support jobs, housing, infrastructure, and public services for millions of Americans. “From touring neighborhood revitalization projects to delivering a Meals-on-Wheels care package, I’ve seen how Community Development Block Grants help people and drive economic development all across Wisconsin,” Baldwin said. “I led the fight in the Senate against President Trump’s proposed elimination of the CDBG program, and I’m proud that we will reverse these cuts in bipartisan legislation that passed committee and is moving forward. Together, we can continue to make differences in the lives of so many families in Wisconsin.” Trump’s budget proposal would have reduced funding for the CDBG program from $3 billion to zero. In response, Senator Baldwin led a group of 42 Senators in calling to maintain full federal funding the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) Community Development Block Grant program in the Fiscal Year 2018. As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Baldwin successfully restored full federal funding of CDBG in the FY2018 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Bill. This bipartisan legislation passed the Appropriations Committee and is now moving to the full Senate for a vote. Source: Baldwin press release
President Donald Trump President Trump predicted the U.S. would curb North Korea’s nuclear program, days after the nation conducted its latest test of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). “We’ll handle North Korea. We’ll be able to handle North Korea. It will be handled. We handle everything,” Trump told reporters during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. On July 28, North Korea launched its second ballistic missile in less than a month, raising concerns about Pyongyang’s capabilities to strike the U.S. mainland. Experts believe the ICBM could potentially hit the United States’ West Coast. American presidents have long vowed to prevent North Korea from gaining such a weapon. “I am very disappointed in China,” Trump tweeted on July 29. “Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do NOTHING for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem!” Source: thehill.com

he battle over Sturgeon Bay’s west waterfront took a new turn Aug. 1. The common council voted to approve the settlement agreement reached between the city’s negotiating committee and the Friends of Sturgeon Bay Public Waterfront (FSBPW) concerning the location of the Ordinary High Water Mark (OHWM) on the west waterfront. The decision comes after the Waterfront Redevelopment Authority (WRA), which was also named in the lawsuit brought by the FSBPW, voted against the settlement July 26. In June, the city’s ad hoc negotiating committee and FSBPW met for two days to resolve the lawsuit. That resulted in an agreement to jointly recommend to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that it approve an ordinary high water mark parallel to and 60 feet waterward of the original meander line in the U.S. government land survey of 1835 for parcel 92 next to the Door County Maritime Museum.
Both the WRA and common council need to agree to the settlement for it to be submitted for official approval by the DNR, so it’s unclear if the council’s decision will inch the city closer to resolving the impasse. The DNR will meet with city representatives Aug. 3 to set a date for a declaratory hearing that may determine the OHWM. The settlement passed in a 4 – 3 vote after the council deliberated in closed session for about 40 minutes. Alderpersons Kelly Catarozoli, Laurel Hauser, Barbara Allmann and David Ward voted in favor. Aldermen Richard Wiesner, Stewart Fett, and Ron Vandertie voted against the settlement. Before convening in closed session, Catarozoli pleaded with the counsel to stay in open session to discuss the settlement. “Nothing we’ve discussed is information that the city’s attorneys and the plaintiff’s attorneys are not privy to,” Catarozoli said. “The only people we’re keeping information from is the public.” Her motion to remain in open session fell in a 4-3 vote, with Allmann and Hauser supporting the motion.
Congressman Mike Gallagher The House of Representatives passed an amendment offered by Congressman Gallagher to reduce vulnerabilities to our nation’s electricity supply, foster renewable energy innovation, and improve U.S. national security. The amendment prioritizes the Department of Energy’s research programs that are essential to improving our nation’s low-cost electricity supply and advancing grid security. “As our nation looks to modernize our grid, improve our domestic energy supply, and reduce national security risks, energy storage technologies must become more affordable and reliable. This fiscally responsible amendment ensures that our limited resources are spent on important research initiatives rather than Washington, D.C. bureaucrats,” Rep. Gallagher said. “Through bolstering public-private partnerships that advance innovative energy storage solutions, this amendment will help improve our grid security and make renewable energy more feasible, cost effective and deployable.” Source: Gallagher press release
Senator Ron Johnson Sen. Johnson issued the following statement regarding the July 28 health care vote in the Senate: “I am disappointed not only in the failure to pass legislation to begin to repair the damage done by Obamacare, but also in the dysfunctional process that directly led to this result. Too many people have been harmed to allow tonight’s vote to be the end. In the coming weeks my committee will hold hearings to lay out the realities of our health care system, and I am committed to working with anyone who is serious about addressing these issues. Americans deserve far better than their elected officials have delivered to this point.” Source: Johnson press release

Governor Scott Walker The campaigns of Gov. Walker and House Speaker Paul Ryan launched digital ads this week touting the decision by Foxconn Technology Group to build a plant in Wisconsin. The two are gearing up for the 2018 election, although Walker has yet to formally announce that he’s running for a third term. Walker was the point man in negotiations with Foxconn, while Ryan also helped court the Taiwan-based firm. “Foxconn’s investment is a oncein-a-century opportunity to transform Wisconsin’s economy, and an example of Gov. Walker delivering results for hard-working Wisconsin families,” Walker campaign manager Joe Fadness said in a statement. Responding to the Walker ad push, State Senate Minority Leader Jennifer Shilling (D-La Crosse) tweeted: “Is this a good deal for taxpayers or a campaign re-election gimmick? Gov. Walker seems to be blurring the lines.” Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

f you’ve ever seen David LaLuzerne meandering through Door County’s nature preserves and county parks, chances are he hasn’t taken much notice of you. “I have a tendency to do that,” he explained. “Wherever I walk out I start to look around, what kind of herbs are growing now around here?” On a gray, misty July day, we were barely
out of the parking lot at the Oak Road Nature Preserve before LaLuzerne started identifying herbs peeking through the gravel drive while reciting their medicinal values. The Ellison Bay resident and longtime pharmacist was preparing for his summer field herbs hike, the second in his five-part 2017 Herb Walk series. Through these outdoor excursions, LaLuzerne introduces fellow hikers to the abundance of local herbs in woodlands, fields and wetlands, and educates them on their historical, culinary and medicinal values. It is a passion he has nurtured since his introduction to herbs during pharmacy school in the ’70s. His class was the last to have pharmacognosy – the study of medicinal drugs derived from natural sources like plants and sea life – as required coursework, and it set LaLuzerne on a path of incorporating homeopathic remedies into his life and career. He eventually opened an herb and vitamin shop called Green Earth, at one point operating three locations in the Madison area.

Herbs
“I started to get into the whole idea of natural healing and what is healing all about,” LaLuzerne said. “To me, it’s about nourishing the body to heal itself, to restore a balance, and that’s really what herbs do… The issue that I have with healthcare is that it’s really about treating symptoms and you have to go to a doctor for that, to get a prescription, but there’s so much we should be able to do for ourselves. I feel like I try to help people learn about those things and one of the best ways to do that is through
your food and stuff that you can do for yourself.” His interest in educating people led to the launch of Herb TV Online (herbtvonline. com), an online resource for those interested in learning about oriental medicine, wildcrafting, herbalism and more. Five years ago he closed up shop in the Madison area and in 2015, he and his wife Lynn moved to Door County, where LaLuzerne has spent time finding and studying local herbs. He has taught classes
at The Clearing, where interest in the topic inspired creation of his own Herb Walks. The hike at the Oak Road Nature Preserve, a Door County Land Trust preserve located northeast of Carlsville, introduced us to the herbs growing in and alongside the trail on the vernal wetland portion of the land, east of Oak Road. Land trust guidelines prohibit visitors from collecting vegetation, wildlife and other material from preserves, so the hikes are purely visual, though LaLuzerne is quick to point out that herbs found on land trust preserves are likely to be found in your own backyard. While the hikes are not long in distance, you can expect to make a stop every few feet as LaLuzerne points out nearby herbs and explains how to incorporate them into your everyday wellness routine. Today, he is excited to see echinacea in full bloom and as we walk the damp trails, he expounds on the value of the bergamot, Queen Anne’s lace, St. John’s wort and red clover we pass by. LaLuzerne recommends three ways to use herbs for healing: as a tea/infusion, a tincture, or an additional ingredient in your regular meals (think salads). “In many ways, the best way to use any herb is in your food, to incorporate the whole herb into your food somehow but the extract is better than the tea in terms of the medicinal value,” he said. “Of course teas can taste really good, too, and that’s beneficial.” To make a tincture – an alcoholic extract of a plant – LaLuzerne chops up the plant material, places it in a glass jar, and covers the material with either brandy or vodka. He gives the mixture a daily shake over the course of two to six weeks, depending on the material.
“If it’s flowers and leaves, usually two weeks is enough to extract but if you have a root or bark, which can be used in a lot of cases, you would chop it up and then let it extract for at least six weeks because it’s denser material, it’s harder to make a good extraction,” he said. Tinctures are taken in very small doses and can be diluted in water or juice before drinking them (do your research to determine best dosage). As for making tea, the amount of plant material used depends on whether the plant is fresh or dried. “If you’re using a fresh plant, you probably want a good couple tablespoons per cup,” LaLuzerne said. “If you dry it, you can use less, maybe one or two teaspoons.” As for incorporating herbs into meals, LaLuzerne recommends a variety of preparations: boiled, roasted or raw in a salad. When it comes down to it, the most important part is consumption. “Ultimately I think the body is what heals itself and you just gotta give it the nutrients it needs to do that,” he said. “That’s why I like herbs.” For those interested in getting started, LaLuzerne recommends two guides: Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide by Lawrence Newcomb, and A Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs: Eastern and Central North America by Steven Foster and James A. Duke. Three hikes remain in David LaLuzerne’s schedule. They are: Aug. 12, wetland herbs, Reiboldt’s Creek at Moonlight Bay; Sept. 16, mushrooms, Mink River Trail; Oct. 14, herbs in the neighborhood, LaLuzerne residence (12030 Garrett Bay Road, Ellison Bay). All herb walks are held on Saturdays from 1 – 3pm. Hikes are $5. For more information, email LaLuzerne at David@HerbTVOnline.com.

June Nirschl’s attitude toward life is reflected in her poetry: Let there be variety. Trained as an English teacher, a job she loved for 15 years, she moved into local government as a municipal town clerk in southeastern Wisconsin. Throughout her careers, Nirschl dabbled in poetry, continuing to find that around every corner lay something new, someone new. Moving to Door County in 2000 enabled Nirschl to continue writing among a supportive group of poets, most especially the Wallace Group. With Judy Roy and Nancy Rafal, Nirschl’s work was published in their initial offering, Slightly Off Q, followed June Nirschl by Two Off Q: A Conversation in Poetry with Judy Roy. The Wisconsin Library Association recognized Two Off Q for outstanding achievement in poetry in 2009. Her most recent chapbook is a solo effort, Before & After. Nirschl’s work has appeared in the Peninsula Pulse, Wisconsin Poets’ Calendar, the Wisconsin Fellowship of Poets Museletter, and Fox Cry Review. Her poetry has been awarded the Jade Ring from the Wisconsin Writers Association. On the second Wednesday of every month the Dickinson Poetry Series features a renowned local or regional poet followed by an open mic, providing an opportunity for others to read their poetry. A reception follows affording an opportunity to meet the poets. The public is welcome and there is no charge. The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is located at 10341 Hwy. 42 in north Ephraim.

featured artist Mariyana Dimitrova is Aug. 5, 10 am – 5 pm. Dimitrova is an artist that explores natural fibers in new ways. Turtle Ridge first became familiar with Dimitrova through her felted garments and shawls. A master felting class with Diana Boykova from Plovdiv, Bulgaria (Dimitrova’s native country), really sparked Dimitrova’s creativity. Her garments and shawls are double-sided, with completely different designs, textures and colors on each side. One shawl reminiscent of a starry night is composed of midnight blue with freshwater pearl beading, angora and merino wool. It reverses to a jellyfish pattern in ocean blue. Her explorations in natural fibers led to working with silk cocoons that she dyes with spinach, turmeric and other natural dyes. Turtle Ridge Gallery/Boutique is located at 11736 Mink River Road in Ellison
Bay. The boutique is open 10 am – 5 pm daily.

PEIL FAMILY HISTORY, WORKING WARRIORS EXHIBIT IN SISTER BAY The Door County Historical Society will host its Saturday afternoon yesteryear programming with “The Peil Family – An Immigrant Door County Family,” presented by Lynn Mattke Aug. 5 at 2 pm in the Collins Learning Center at 2041 Michigan St. in Sturgeon Bay, at Crossroads at Big Creek. The history of the Peil family in Door County began 146 years ago when Karl, Augusta and five of their children arrived from Germany. The family settled on an 80-acre farm in Baileys Harbor at the corner of county roads EE and F. When Otto, the oldest son, turned 30, he took over the farm and sought a wife. Receiving assistance from a friend, a letter was sent back to Germany to ask if the granddaughter of an old friend was interested in coming to “the land of opportunity.” After an exchange of photographs, Otto helped arrange Hedwig’s trip from Germany, and their plans to marry were established. Arriving in Door County, Hedwig became the “force extraordinaire” of the Peil family and raised 10 children on the family farm. Mattke is the retired Director of Independent Senior Housing at Scandia Village, and the granddaughter of Hedwig and Otto Peil. Her mother, Adeline Edmunds, wrote The Loving Spice of Life, depicting the story of Hedwig’s life. Realizing her rich family history, Mattke is happy to share her family’s stories. There is no cost to attend, but an offering will be taken to support Heritage Village at Big Creek. The Door County Historical Society’s next program in the Yesteryear series is a German Festival Aug. 12, 10 am – 3 pm, at Heritage Village. For more information, call 920.421.2332 or visit DoorCountyHistoricalSociety.org. From Aug. 1 – 26, the traveling exhibit Working Warriors: Military Life Beyond Combat will be on display at Corner of the Past Museum in Sister Bay. The exhibit features photographs and artwork from the Wisconsin Veterans Museum collection. The exhibit includes stunning images and brief, thought-provoking prose. About 75 percent of military work is considered non-combat. These roles rarely make the headlines, but are vital to every military operation. Exploring the non-combat roles of military service personnel, including work as beauticians, military police, dentists, mechanics, and photographers, this exhibit showcases an often overlooked but highly relatable side of military life. To enhance the experience, the Wisconsin Veteran Museum traveling trunk for WWII: European Theater will be at Corner of the Past until Aug. 18. The trunk contains uniforms, artifacts, multi-media, and activities that illustrate the Wisconsin soldier’s experience. Visitors can try on the uniforms, handle the artifacts, and interact with the exhibit. Working Warriors will be on display at Corner of the Past Museum, 10310 Fieldcrest Road in Sister Bay. Admission is $5 and free for children ages 12 and younger. For more information, visit sisterbayhistory.org or call 920.854.7680.

(2) Bluegrass icon Ricky Skaggs and his band
Kentucky Thunder will take the stage at Door Community Auditorium (DCA) in Fish Creek on Aug. 6 at 8 pm. Skaggs was born July 18, 1954 in Cordell, Kentucky. He struck his first chords on a mandolin when he was five years old, and within a year, the child prodigy was sharing stages with bluegrass legend Bill Monroe. By age 7, Skaggs had begun appearing on TV with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. He became a
professional bluegrass musician in 1971, when he and his friend Keith Whitley were invited to join the legendary Ralph Stanley’s band the Clinch Mountain Boys. Fifty years later, this 14-time Grammy Award winner continues to work at the forefront of the current roots music revival. In 1982, he became the youngest musician ever inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. Since then, he’s had 13 number-one hits, including “Highway 40 Blues” and “Country Boy,” and played with luminaries like Flatt and Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris, Bruce Hornsby, Vince Gill and countless others. Backed by an ensemble of world-class pickers – the renowned band Kentucky Thunder – Skaggs will take over DCA for a blazing evening of bluegrass music. Tickets range from $38 to $65. Advance reservations are recommended and can be made through the DCA box office, located at 3926 Hwy 42 in Fish Creek. The box office is open 12 – 5 pm, Monday through Friday. For tickets, call 920.868.2728, visit dcauditorium. org, or stop by the box office.

(5) Harpeth Rising returns to Woodwalk
Describing their style of music as “chamberfolk,” Harpeth Rising is a trio of violin, cello and banjo. Three classically trained musicians make up the band and they play original music, as intricately arranged as a string quartet, lyrically rooted in the singer/songwriter tradition, and wrapped in three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of both Appalachia and Medieval Europe. Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship and a deft, yet soulful, lyrical perspective. Against All Tides, Harpeth Rising’s sophomore album as a trio, is proof that authenticity and complexity can live in harmony. It is an exploration of spirituality in place of fundamentalism, uncertainty as philosophy, and an unwavering declaration that human connection is the ultimate force

OUTDOOR MARITIME WEEK IN STURGEON BAY, HIKING TOURS AT THE CLEARING (1) The City of Sturgeon Bay will once again honor its rich maritime heritage with a diverse collection of entertaining and fun-filled events Aug. 5 – 13. Officially titled “Sturgeon Bay Maritime Week: A Salute to the U.S. Coast Guard,” the celebration includes many longstanding annual waterfront events along with a growing list of new activities. In addition to focusing on Sturgeon Bay’s extraordinary maritime history, the week honors the area’s local Coast Guard personnel, past and present, for their service and many contributions to the community. Maritime Week gets underway Aug. 5, 11 am, with a picnic for all active, reserve, retired and veteran Coast Guard personnel and their families. Aug. 6 brings a new event to the Maritime Week calendar. Adopt-a-Soldier Door County and the Sturgeon Bay Fire Department will host an “all you can eat” breakfast at the firehouse adjacent to City Hall from 7 – 11 am. Following breakfast, there will be a BBQ and benefit concert at Martin Park and the bands Last Man Standing and Copper Box will entertain throughout the afternoon. The Harmony by the Bay Summer Concert Series continues Aug. 9 at Martin Park. The
ever-popular Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns will entertain. The concert begins at 7 pm and will open with a salute to veterans from all branches of the armed forces. The Salute to the Coast Guard Golf Outing is Aug. 10. This public golf event celebrates the Coast Guard’s birthday with a fun fourperson scramble format at Idlewild Golf Course. Contact the Door County Maritime Museum (DCMM) for an entry form and additional details. Thursday’s activities also include the “TGIT” Sail Racing at the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club that evening. Contact the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club (920.743.6934) for details. Maritime Week returns to Martin Park on Aug. 11 with an outdoor screening of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone at dusk. Aug. 12 & 13 is packed with maritime activities on Sturgeon Bay’s working waterfront. Aug. 12 opens with the first day of the Door County Classic and Wooden Boat Festival on the DCMM grounds. The many activities at the Classic and Wooden Boat Festival blend with the Maritime on Madison celebration. There will be music, store sales and kids’ activities to keep everyone entertained as they stroll Sturgeon Bay’s historic West Side. On the DCMM grounds, dozens of classic boats will be on display. The construction and the decoration phase in the ever-popular Sikaflex Boat Building competition begins Saturday morning. Watch as two-person teams working feverishly with limited lumber and materials to craft a oneof-a-kind boat that will float, hopefully. The grounds open at 9 am. At the conclusion of Saturday’s activities, head for the Sturgeon Bay Yacht Club for their annual Evening on the Bay events Saturday evening, including live music, boat parade and fireworks. All events are open to the public.

A youngster enjoys the Door County Classic and Wooden Boat Festival. Photo by Steve Reinke. Maritime Week wraps up Aug. 13 with the second day of the Door County Classic and Wooden Boat Festival. The “sea trials” of the often less-than-seaworthy Sikaflex Challenge vessels is always the highlight of day two. Sturgeon Bay’s designation as an official Coast Guard City in 2014 makes the celebration even more special. Sturgeon Bay is one of only 20 communities nationwide to be named a Coast Guard City and is the first, and only, in Wisconsin.
(2) The 82-year history, folklore and
landscape of The Clearing Folk School are the subject of continuing free, interpretive hikes to the historic campus and buildings, led by volunteer docents on select Saturdays and Sundays through Oct. 29. The two-hour hiking tours begin at 1 pm at the Jens Jensen Visitor Center, 12171 Garrett Bay Road, Ellison Bay. No pre-registration is necessary. The terrain is a bit rugged in places, and sturdy walking shoes are highly recommended.

THEATER & PERFORMANCE BIRCH CREEK’S ADULT BAND CAMP, A COUPLA WHITE CHICKS ON ROGUE STAGE

(1)
(1) Peninsula Players Theatre, in conjunction with its production of the Tony Award-winning musical The Bridges of Madison County by Jason Robert Brown and Marsha Norman, will host a pre-show seminar Aug. 10, 6:30 pm, at the theater. The Bridges of Madison County first captured the nation’s attention in 1992 when Robert James Waller’s novel became a bestseller, then again in 1995 as a major motion picture starring Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. The film was shot on location in Madison County, Iowa and six covered bridges were featured. Nowhere else in the Midwest can so many covered bridges be found so closely grouped together, thus Madison County and the bridges have become a tourist destination. Waller, while on leave from work, was taking a pleasure trip to photograph the famous bridges within an 11-mile radius of Winterset, Iowa. The bridges were built with covers to protect the roadway because it was cheaper to replace the boards of the roof and walls rather than replace the heavy beams of the actual bridge. The Covered Bridge Festival celebrates the bridges each fall as well as the birthplace of John Wayne. Waller’s trip was an inspiration to him and within three weeks he had finished the novel. Peninsula Players will host a discussion with Jon Jarosh, Door County Visitor Bureau director of communications and public relations, as he talks about the impact of books, films and articles on destinations from a tourism standpoint. The Bridges of Madison County performs Tuesdays through Saturdays at 8 pm and Sundays at 7:30 pm with a 4 pm matinee Aug. 13. Discount tickets are available for groups of 15 or more. Individual ticket prices range from $41 to $47. For more information or

(2) August brings heat and laughter to the
Rogue Theater stage with A Coupla White Chicks Sitting Around Talking, by John Ford Noonan. This was Rogue Theater’s debut show in November of 2013. That show starred Lola DeVillers and Katie Lott, and was directed by Bill Bauernfeind. The show takes place in suburban Westchester County, New York, in the kitchen of Maude Mix, who is having a tough day: her husband is off on a weekend spree with his secretary and she can’t get rid of the pesky
neighbor who has just moved up from Texas. Mix is a stereotypically uptight housewife living on Charlemagne Lane somewhere in Westchester County. She enjoys things neat and tidy, and is extremely protective of her privacy. But into her life bursts her new neighbor, Hannah Mae, a loud, high-spirited woman from Texas. Hannah Mae badgers Mix into friendship and the two eventually join forces against their errant and erring husbands. Lola DeVillers stars as Maude Mix and Rachel Seizer as the pesky Hannah Mae Bindler. The show is directed by Stuart Champeau. DeVillers is a teacher, actor and director. She holds a master’s degree in education and has been an educator in Sturgeon Bay for more than 25
years. She manages and is co-artistic director of Rogue Theater with her husband, Stuart Champeau. Seizer, a 2016 Sturgeon Bay High School graduate, now studies at Madison College. She was most recently seen in the all-female production of Love’s Labour’s Lost. She plans to continue her studies and pursue a degree in theatre at Edgewood College. The show runs Aug. 10-13 and 17-20, at 7:30 pm Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 2 pm Sunday. Rogue Theater is located at 340 Jaycee Court in Sturgeon Bay. The show includes adult content. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students. For more information, call 920.818.0816 or find Rogue Theater on Facebook.
(3) As the saying goes, age is just a number, and this is especially true in regard to music. The Adult Concert Band Camp, held Aug. 19 – 22, at Birch Creek Music Performance Center is a unique opportunity for those who wish to grow in their musicality, or just want to spend a fun weekend in Door County. The camp is co-directed by three wellrespected and award-winning musicians: Chip Staley (Naperville, Ill.), Steve Sveum (Sun Prairie), and Jim Stombres (St. Charles, Ill.). Stombres said of the camp, “It’s something that’s meant to be enjoyable…dig the horn out and play a little bit and come up and have the experience and share your love of music with other people that feel the same way as you.” Stombres has been a high school band director for 37 years in three suburban Chicago high schools, finishing his career at St. Charles North High School. He has spent 29 summers at Birch Creek on faculty for the Big Band Jazz sessions. For the first time on Birch Creek’s campus, adults in the community will get the opportunity to perform onstage in the centuryold Dutton Concert Barn. “That’s the vision of this, you come up and learn, and interact in an environment that’s pretty unique, giving a concert in a barn and being able to experience the county,” said Stombres. The combined knowledge and musicianship of Staley, Sveum and Stombres in addition to playing alongside fellow musicians will be an experience of a lifetime.

Development At What Cost? After riding my bike from the corner of Lampert west on Highway 42/57, over rumble strips located on the edge of the road, I discovered Grant Ave. I traveled north to find the site that was chosen by the
developers for a 56-unit apartment complex, and was approved by the Plan Commission on June 21, 2017. To my dismay, I found no road exiting the development site. I explained during public comment at the July 5, 2017, common council meeting, during my three-minute timeframe, that the proposed planned unit development was an isolated development due to the fact that there was no exit, except the highway entrance. I also explained that it was benefiting not the Sturgeon Bay School District, but neighboring Southern Door. Finally, I urged the council not to make the same mistake in creating a development such as on the north side of Egg Harbor Road that they have not fixed in 15-plus years. Fast-forward to the July 18, 2017, council meeting, it was brought to the city’s attention, through a Memorandum Agreement between the City of Sturgeon Bay and Wisconsin DOT (permit dated Oct. 15, 2009). We currently have 40 units, and are allowing 56 more plus 14 townhouses (totaling 110 units). It was stated the tipping point which required a traffic study for the development was 100 units, by Community Development Director, Marty Olejniczak. Mayor Birmingham stated the city will only benefit by $23,000 of taxes a year from the development of the 56 units. What will it cost the city to develop a 1/3-mile of road, which could include such barriers as condemning and the possible use of eminent domain? People first. Honor your agreements.

If you can’t stop thinking about it... buy it! HIGHWAY 42 ACROSS FROM THE AUDITORIUM, FISH CREEK
Where’s the Common Sense? I am sure I’m not the only one frustrated about the battle over the proposed downtown westside Sturgeon Bay waterfront hotel complex! The issue is whether or not the government owns and can sell a strip of land between an 1835 highwater survey line and the actual waterfront. The sparring parties were told to “negotiate” a compromise line. Geez. A high-water line is not a matter of negotiation, it’s a matter of survey by competent authority. Secondly, since 1835, the highwater line has been altered by fill in Sturgeon Bay, and probably every other city of any size on the Great Lakes. In Sturgeon Bay, does the government really own Utopia Circle and the SB Yacht Club – both built on fill? The entire downtown waterfront, using the 1835 line, is probably government owned, too. No? A 2017 high-water survey would reflect reality. I’m thinking the line would probably be at the exact edge of our current shore, as we are pretty much at an all-time high right now. Let’s not forget, a high-water line marks the boundary of navigable water. Let’s face it, the Door County Maritime Museum is not in navigable water. Sturgeon Bay did a fine job concerning the Stone Harbor hotel complex and grounds, which includes a beautiful public boardwalk, public restrooms, and public water access. The obstructionism concerning this similar project, based on the never-before-cited-nor-enforced 1835 high-water argument, is nuts. Whatever happened to common sense? Tom Felhofer Union, Wis.

Politics Matter Given the unpopularity of President Trump (the last ABC poll showed his approval rating at 36 percent) and the highly partisan atmosphere in the U.S. Senate and House, we Americans can feel powerless and just throw up our hands and switch it all off. However, I think “politics” still matters. What happens in Washington determines the fabric of our lives: our jobs, our incomes, our health care, our environment, our education, the roads we drive on, and the list goes on. I’ve always believed our democracy works because we live in a country that values, respects, and supports all Americans, regardless of age, religion, race, wealth or sexual orientation. I don’t think President Trump should be speaking at rallies that are only his supporters. He is the President of all Americans. A small reminder: he lost the popular vote by three million votes. And I don’t think our legislators should be looking to enact their agenda without talking to their constituents in face-to-face meetings or at public town halls. And I certainly don’t think legislation should be crafted in secret as the Republican health care bill has been. At the time of writing this letter, we still don’t know the details and cost of the latest Republican plan. Politics depends on us, on who votes and who speaks up. This seems especially important as our democracy is challenged every day by a President who doesn’t seem to understand how our democracy works: we have three equal branches that work separately as checks and balances to each other. I feel that President Trump’s inability, or lack of desire to work with, or lack of respect for the other branches of government is undermining our democracy. The president is not above the other branches

of government. All the branches are equal. To me, this lack of respect and understanding of our democracy is very worrisome. Our elected officials work for us. We have to keep letting them know how we feel and keep them accountable. Senators Baldwin, Johnson, and Congressman Gallagher need to hear from us, their constituents and citizens. Letters, phone calls, faxes, emails do get recorded and counted. The 2018 midterm elections are coming up. Let’s keep our democracy alive and well by being active and involved.

The King of Rhetoric For the last six months the American people have been subjected to one media spectacle after another by our President. He has managed to not release his taxes or relinquish his business ties. He surrounds himself with family members in government when he stated they were going to run the Trump businesses. No one is immune from his threats. He harasses his own choices in government if they don’t agree with him. He speaks highly of Putin and denies Russian ties and makes fun of other world leaders, while we are subject to a continued flow of Twitter attacks. I have to say, the embarrassing speech/rant he made at the Boy Scout Jamboree is one of the most inappropriate, bombastic and rhetoric filled to date. As I have read, listened and watched the happenings of the last six months, I have to conclude that an innocent, respectful, intelligent person does not act like this.

DOOR COUNTY LAND TRUST SURPASSES 8,000 ACRES PROTECTED The Door County Land Trust announces they have now surpassed 8,000 acres protected from development through the addition of 106 acres to the Chambers Island Nature Preserve. Door County Land Trust Executive Director Tom Clay said, “We are pleased that with this most recent acquisition we are surpassing two milestones – 8,000 acres are now protected by the land trust, and at 593 acres, Chambers Island has become our largest nature preserve. Chambers Island is an important piece in the picture of Door County’s conservation.” Chambers Island provides vital stopover habitat for migratory birds. The island is dominated by hardwood and cedar forests with contiguous canopy, an inland lake called Mackaysee, and wetlands including a leather-leaf muskeg (bog), the only one of its kind in Door County. Protecting Chambers Island was recognized as a priority during joint conservation planning sessions with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, The Nature Conservancy and others. The 8,000 acres protected by the Door County Land Trust are the result of several land protection methods that create corridors of conserved lands benefitting native plant and wildlife species. The Land Trust owns and manages 15 nature preserves and 24 natural areas, which comprise about 4,100 acres protected. Additionally, 3,200 acres are permanently protected through conservation easement agreements with private landowners. An additional 700 acres have been protected and transferred to other organizations for ongoing care. “There is urgency to our work in Door County. Protecting our thriving plant, fish and bird habitats now creates a refuge in an otherwise rapidly changing world,” said Door County Land Trust Director of Land Program Terrie Cooper. “The Land Trust is poised to protect the most vulnerable places on the peninsula, like the interior of Chambers Island which is so important to the birds migrating over the bay each year – more than 169 species identified so far.” For more information and to become a land trust member, call 920.746.1359 or visit doorcountylandtrust.org.
CAMERON DAVIS ON THE HYPER CHANGE OF THE GREAT LAKES The Door County Environmental Council welcomes Cameron Davis, a natural resource and water quality expert, who will present Cameron Davis “The Great Lakes in a Time of Hyper Change” Aug. 11, 7 pm, at the Baileys Harbor Town Hall. For more than three decades, Davis has worked to develop and implement water quality and quantity policy. Appointed by the Obama Administration, Davis was senior adviser to two U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Administrators in Washington, D.C. Under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), he coordinated 11 federal departments to manage $2.2 billion in funding to state, municipal, tribal, business and civic stakeholders, and the nonprofit community. It was the largest Great Lakes restoration investment in U.S. history. Funding financed contaminated sediment cleanups, fish contaminant matters, dam removals, wetland and habitat restoration, runoff reduction, invasive species prevention, and other related water resource matters. Davis also served as a lead negotiator with the U.S. State Department in its development of the 2012 U.S.Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement.
DCEC
Davis was also president and CEO of the Alliance for the Great Lakes, Chicago and is lead author of the Great Lakes Legacy Act, which leverages federal-private funding partnerships for cleanups to rehabilitate riverside and coastal property values. Davis received two honors for his work in the Great Lakes region. On June 26, he was recognized for his work managing the Great Lakes Advisory Board (GLAB). He helped establish the GLAB, comprised of business, environmental, municipal, state and academic interests, to ensure buy-in for GLRI investments. On the same day, Environment & Climate Change Canada presented Davis with recognition for his “past, present, and future contributions” to Great Lakes health with the U.S.Canada Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. Davis is vice president of Consulting Engineers and Scientists, Inc., one of the nation’s leading geotechnical, environmental, water resources, and ecological science and engineering firms. He is responsible for guiding the firm’s Upper Midwest water quality, policy, infrastructure and other water resources efforts.
CREW MAPPING GREATEST WETLAND THREATS IN DOOR COUNTY A four-person summer crew is mapping invasive species populations in the Door Peninsula Coastal Wetlands Ramsar site to prioritize the areas under greatest threat from Japanese knotweed, European marsh thistle, phragmites, reed canary grass, glossy buckthorn and narrow-leaved
cattail, all of which are known to be a threat to the health of these wetlands and the native plants and animals that depend on them. The Nature Conservancy was awarded a $186,200 grant from the Sustain Our Great Lakes program to hire the seasonal crew for two years to control invasive species and restore and enhance coastal wetlands within the Door Peninsula Coastal Wetlands Ramsar Site, a 11,443-acre wetland complex in northern Door County designated as a Wetland of International Importance by the Ramsar Convention in 2015. The grant is being matched with additional funding from the Nature Conservancy and The Ridges Sanctuary, as well as volunteer hours donated to the project, to bring the total funding for the project to more than $413,600. The crew will also map populations of any new invasive species they find and give native plants a boost by controlling these invaders. “We’re very excited about the work this crew is doing,” said Kari Hagenow, Nature Conservancy land steward and coordinator of the Door County Invasive Species Team, “because it will allow us to make real progress in removing some of the worst populations of six non-native species that are invading the coastal wetlands in our Ramsar Wetlands area. It also gives us the flexibility to move quickly when we find a new invasive that requires immediate attention.” Private landowners in Door County interested in learning how to identify and control invasive species on their land can contact the Door County Invasive Species Team hotline at 920.746.5955 for more information.

The Weekly Expositor Independent, August 6, 1880 Pier Burned. Mr. A. Anderson’s pier at Ephraim, burned last Monday night at 12 o’clock. The pier was one of the best, if not the best on Green Bay waters. The warehouse, which contained about $500 worth of boxed clothing, 400 bushels of wheat, 10 tons of feed, 6 barrels of sugar, coffee, etc., were also burned with the pier. The total loss is estimated at $4,500 or $5,000. Though nearly or quite a total wreck, the pier will be rebuilt, work on the same to begin at once.
Door County Democrat, August 5, 1905 Boys Struck By Lightning. The heavy electrical storm Thursday evening came near being the death of three young men in the town of Sevastopol. Johnnie and Paul Bischno, sons of John Bischno, ran into a barn when the storm broke for the purpose of getting shelter from the rain. Just after entering the barn the building was struck by lightning and the shock rendered both boys unconscious. John received the heaviest shock and did not regain consciousness for several hours and is still in very serious condition. Geo. Heidman Jr., son of Geo. Heidman of Sevastopol, was out in the field driving the cows home, and was struck by lightning receiving a very severe shock. He was rendered unconscious, and bled from the nose, eyes and mouth, but it is thought that he will recover. Door County Democrat, August 3, 1917 PARK POPULAR PLACE Peninsula State Park is becoming widely known throughout Wisconsin, and Sept. A.E. Doolittle states that thousands of people have visited it this summer, an average of over 75 automobile parties having motored to the park daily since the latter part of June. Yachting parties have also found it an ideal place at which to spend their time, and it is a common sight to see a number of little pleasure craft
anchored off shore, and at the docks on the Fish Creek and Ephraim shores of the park. The golf links are becoming popular and are being used almost constantly, and are now in good condition for the lovers of this popular sport. Door County News, August 5, 1926 30,000 Cases Cherries Are Packed In Day On Friday of last week one of the largest single day’s pack of cherries in the history of the industry was made. There were 30,000 cases of cherries canned at the three factories of the Door County Fruit Growers Canning Co., located here and at Egg Harbor and Sister Bay. The trees are laden until the limbs bend to the ground and have broken in some instances. Not only this but the fruit is of an exceptionally high quality, with a very few exceptions where slight damage was done by hail. Door County News, August 3, 1939 GOV’T BOAT TO BE BUILT HERE Contracts for three 48-foot government boats have just been awarded to Peterson Boat Works, Fred Peterson, president, announces, and work will be started in two weeks to enable them to make fall delivery. The three boats will be used in inspection work by the U.S. Engineering department from the New Orleans port. Several men will be hired to do the work, Mr. Peterson states, for the three boats will be built simultaneously, there being sufficient facilities to do so.

The Democrat, August 3, 1893 THE NEW ASSESSMENT. BIG INCREASE IN THE VALUATION OF CITY PROPERTY. The result of the work done by the board of review of this city, which completed its labors last week, shows that there has been an immense increase in the valuation of both the personal property and real estate of this city. This year the real estate is valued at $546,795, and the personal property at $365,325, making a total of $912,118. In 1892 the total valuation of the city was $539,262, there being an increase during the past year of $372,856, or about 69 percent. This very large increase is not caused by growth of the city, but is mainly due to the fact that the city officers elected last spring were pledged to reform the method of assessment formerly in
vogue here and to assess all taxable property at its real value.
