It looked a lot more like winter on Jan. 18 when the 1,000-foot Stewart J. Cort backed its way down the Sturgeon Bay channel and into its slip PauL HaaN at the Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding yard.

The Stewart J. Cort

by THE DOOR COUNTY MARITIME MUSEUM Tom Wenstadt, contributor

T

he merchant vessel (MV) Stewart J. Cort arrived at the Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding yard on Jan. 18. The vessel pivoted at the mouth of Sturgeon Bay, then backed into the yard for six miles up the Sturgeon Bay channel. It then backed into the slip adjacent to the graving dock.

The Stewart J. Cort was built partially

by Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi, then completed at Erie

Marine in Erie, Pennsylvania for the Bethlehem Steel Co. After a number of ownership changes, the Stewart J. Cort now operates for the Interlake Steamship Co. Leaving on her maiden voyage on May 1, 1972, she was the first 1,000-footer on the Great Lakes. She’s 105 feet at the beam (width), 49 feet deep, and has a carrying capacity of 58,000 tons, with four, EMD V20 3600 diesel engines turning two propellers and a bow thruster.

The ship has a unique self-unloading arrangement. Instead of a typical deckmounted swing boom, it has a short

transverse shuttle boom at the stern of the vessel.

Look for a forward pilot house and an aft deck house with an iron ore red hull with white upper works. It unloads with retractable conveyer booms at the stern.

Kalin Montevideo Named SBFD Interim Chief

by KEVIN BONESKE kevin@ppulse.com

S

turgeon Bay’s Police and Fire Commission agreed Monday to appoint assistant fire chief Kalin Montevideo as the city’s interim chief, effective immediately.

Commission chair Wayne Spritka said the appointment was made because fire chief Tim Dietman is retiring as of April 5, but using up accumulated leave time. His last day on the job was Feb. 2.

Dietman, who became Sturgeon Bay’s fire chief in 2016 following the retirement of Tim Herlache, previously was the assistant chief and has been with the department since 2000. Montevideo became the assistant chief after Dietman was elevated to chief.

Dietman sent a letter dated Jan. 31 to Sturgeon Bay Mayor David Ward and Spritka, notifying them of his retirement effective April 5. He said it was time for he and his family to move on to the next chapter of their lives, but did not indicate that would happen as soon as Feb. 2.

Tim Dietman

Kalin Montevideo

He wrote that he had devoted 23.5 years to “protecting life and property in the communities we protect” and was proud of the growth and accomplishments of the department and the command and support staff.

“I have the utmost respect for all of them and know the department will continue in great hands,” he said.

Spritka said the commission’s appointment of Montevideo as an interim fire chief is allowed by state statute and under city code the appointment may remain in effect for up to six months, and be extended after that for another three months.

The commission is solely responsible for hiring a fire chief, though the Common

Council is authorized to set the position’s salary.

Now that Montevideo has accepted the commission’s appointment as interim fire chief, Ward said it will be up to the council to decide whether she should receive additional compensation while holding that position.

Spritka said the commission will be scheduling additional meetings to go through the process of hiring a permanent fire chief, with the next meeting set for Feb. 28.

He said no decision has been made at this point about whether to hire a permanent chief internally, advertise the position statewide or use a human resources firm to help in the hiring process.

The commission’s meeting on Monday was its second one of the year and the first to have the fire chief’s position specifically on the agenda, according to agendas posted on the city’s website. Only four commission meeting agendas were posted for 2023, with the most recent one on July 13, and none listing the fire chief’s position.

T

he Village of Sister Bay’s Parks, Property and Streets Committee agreed by consensus to select engineering and architectural firm McMahon at a price of $188,000 to design the new Parks Maintenance Facility.

McMahon rose to the top among seven companies that bid on the project at prices ranging from $98,920 - $246,600, with variations and add-ons among those accounting for price differentials.

The committee members and Dan Klansky, village director of public works, went through each of the bids before selecting McMahon. They liked the firm’s sample designs, experience with municipal buildings and use of in-house staff rather than subcontractors.

“I like their work and they’re easy to work with,” Klansky said during the committee’s Feb. 5 meeting.

The final decision will be up to the Village Board, which meets next on Tuesday, Feb. 20.

The existing Parks and Maintenance Building on Mill Road is in the old Sister Bay fire station. That building would be demolished and one of the options on the facility plan calls for the post office to relocate to that site.

“There has also been a discussion, should that be a parking lot,” said Julie Schmelzer, village administrator, by phone a day after the Feb. 5 meeting. “One thing for certain is, the existing building will be removed.”

The new parks building would be located on the same seven-acre parcel as the existing storage garage, also known as the cold-storage building, at 2160 Autumn Court – across the road from the village’s wastewater treatment plant and tennis courts, and on the same side as the dog park and former lagoons that were filled back in the 1980s. Those lagoon sites will require soil borings to learn if they can hold a building, should that be needed.

“The committee talked about it [the cold storage building] coming down,” Schmelzer said. “This week, they’re talking about keeping it. If you keep the cold storage up, then the [new] building goes somewhere else out there. There’s a lot of moving pieces.”

The village will handle the site work separately, including parking and landscaping, and decided last month to use Stantec for the civil site work, such as utility locations and site design.

The McMahon contract would only be for the design of the building and the construction drawings. Once that’s completed, the project could be ready to bid.

The village budgeted $4 million for the total project – which includes demolition of the existing buildings – and expects to borrow for the project this year.

Schmelzer said that $4 million was their “worst-case scenario.”

Tasha Rass, village finance director and treasurer, said by phone that the village’s current debt load is $8.9 million.

However, the village is paying off three large loans this year: one for the Stony Ridge development, the other two for the purchase of the Pebble Beach property and the former Wiltse property. The last two are being paid off in advance of their maturity dates.

The new debt coming off the books allows for the new debt to go on without creating an additional tax burden for property owners in 2025, Rass said.

Mill Road Construction Starting in March The construction start is about a month away for Mill Road west of state Highway 42, which passes Waterfront Park and the Sister Bay Yacht Club. continued on page 3

Committee Selects Engineer to Design New Parks Building continued from page 2 The schedule from contractor Vinton Construction shows a project start date of March 11, with a completion date of May 17. Single lanes and detours will be used during construction.

The project entails a complete rebuild of the floodprone road including: road straightening, repaving, new storm sewer, sidewalks, improved pedestrian crossings, curb and gutter and additional and replacement lighting.

No borrowing is related to this project, said Tasha Rass, village finance director and treasurer. Current project estimates, with costs still pending from Wisconsin Public Service, are at $1.03 million. The project will be completely financed by the village’s premier resort area tax, Rass said, which has brought in about $1.5 million since first established in 2018, ranging from $155,528 that year, to approximately $350,000 in 2023.

The premier resort area tax is a local retail sales tax – Sister Bay’s is 0.5% – which was authorized by the Wisconsin Legislature and is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Under law, the municipality may only use the revenue to pay for infrastructure expenses.

Only eight communities in Wisconsin have been authorized to collect this tax, two of those – Sister Bay and Ephraim – in Door County.

Land Use Planning Session This Saturday The Village of Sister Bay is offering a public input session on its new comprehensive land-use plan. The interactive workshop will be held Saturday, Feb. 10, at the Village Hall, 10693 N. Bay Shore Drive. In addition to the in-person session, interested participants can also comment on the future of the village virtually – an option not previously offered on the land use plan.

The plan covers land use, housing, economic development, transportation and other elements. The village’s last plan was completed in October 2023.

The public input session begins at 9 am and ends at noon. People can drop in at any time during that period to offer comments, or participate online from Feb. 10 - 17 by visiting bit.ly/sisterbay-workshop.

The Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission is the contractor leading the plan update. To follow the entire planning process, go to baylakerpc.org, and click on ‘projects’.

Why These Land Sales Moved at a Snail’s Pace Completed and accepted conservation plan paves way for lot sales, with a conservation easement designed to protect snails

by CRAIG STERRETT craig@ppulse.com

C

ompletion of a habitatprotection plan for rare snails made it possible for Alpine Resort ownership to sell blufftop lots that possess million-dollar views.

Following the fall 2023 Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources’ (DNR) approval of a 40-page conservation plan, Alpine Resort Acquisition Co. completed the sale of three out of five available lots in late November and December on a strip of land between the Hillside Trail road and the Niagara Escarpment, said Jacinda Duffin, True North Real Estate broker.

The lots have north-facing views through DNR-approved “viewing corridors” to the bay and Egg Harbor. In early January, there was a pending sale of one additional lot, leaving one more of the five lots – priced between $900,000 and $1.25 million – currently on the market, Duffin said.

Duffin said the lot buyers showed patience, waiting from summer to late autumn for the Alpine and DNR to work out details, such as allowing the cutting of some taller hardwoods while conserving and planting all shorter, shade-producing native trees and evergreens.

“The holdup has been on our side, making sure that we were doing everything that the DNR wanted and working to protect the habitat as much as we can,” Duffin said. “We have been working with the DNR and Evergreen Consultants of Green Bay to revise a conservation plan and have been successful in doing so.”

Duffin said “it’s really admirable” that Alpine ownership chose to plat large lots instead of developing condos or platting up to 18 lots, as village zoning would have allowed.

Covenants prohibit short-term rental of these single-family homes.

The DNR prohibits the lot owners from discarding yard waste, cutting any trees – or utilizing in any way a 20- to 40-foot-wide buffer zone near the top of the escarpment where two types of endangered or threatened snails live in cliff crevices. The snails also live at the base of the cliffs and in the talus slope of broken rock and soil just downhill from the cliffs.

There are six tiny species of snails indigenous to the microclimate along the

escarpment and are considered glacial relics, according to Jeff Nekola’s studies of Wisconsin snails. Among those are 2-millimeter Midwest pleistocene vertigo land snails, listed as endangered in Wisconsin. They – as well as the cherrypit-sized cherrystone drop snail – live on and along Door County’s cool, northfacing cliffside niches where the snails have thrived for 10,000 years, said Chad Fradette of Evergreen Consultants.

Alpine Resort Acquisition Co. declined a request for comment at this time, but Fradette’s company is the liaison between the Alpine and the DNR. Fradette said the plan to protect the snails takes a commonsense approach.

“Is there a way we can have views for homes and protect snail habitat at the same time?” Fradette said.

The plan that protects the snail habitat, Fradette said, includes Alpine Resort Acquisition Co. offering the DNR perpetual access to inspect the site, and keeping the conservation easement area off-limits to the public. The company will preserve and plant white cedar and other native shade-producing species that will keep the cliff cool. Fradette said the plantings will be on land that previously accommodated a grassy fairway for the golf course’s fourth nine that was built in 1999 and closed in 2020.

“Shade at the top helps keep the microclimate in check,” Fradette said.

“It keeps the heat from going down and drying the slope out. In the spring

we’re going to be planting thousands of cedars along the top of the escarpment.

The Alpine owner has made a big commitment to snail-habitat restoration and we don’t want to do anything that harms them.”

A portion of funds from lot sales – an escrow fund of 10% of lot-sale proceeds up to $200,000, according to the fall 2023 conservation agreement between the DNR and Alpine – will cover future restoration work and maintenance of the conservation area where former Alpine owners blasted away parts of the escarpment in 1999 to build a short, parthree golf hole, as well as a bluffside cart path and rock cut, Fradette said. That cart path will be removed, and cedars should quickly fill in.

Fradette said restoration eventually could include using some of the rubble from that former blasting to restore the talus slope.

In addition, the Alpine will also make a $150,000 donation to the DNR for snailconservation work in Door County and north of Green Bay, Fradette said.

While the conservation plan has been approved, the DNR must still accept the 9.22-acre buffer-zone easement and access right-of-way. Jim Lemke, Real Estate Section Chief for the DNR Bureau of Facilities and Lands, said he would speak in February in support of acceptance before the DNR’s Natural Resources Board.

Police Chief Requests License Plate Reader Cameras

by KEVIN BONESKE kevin@ppulse.com

T

he Sturgeon Bay Police Department (SBPD) wants to put a license plate reader (LPR) camera system in place in the city to help fight crime.

The city’s Finance/Purchasing and Building Committee recommended Jan. 30 that the Common Council approve a contract with Flock Safety, which would install and maintain the cameras.

Police Chief Clint Henry said the LPR camera system, which records computerreadable images of vehicle license plates, is being used in the Green Bay area, where it helped identify vehicles that were reported stolen last year in Sturgeon Bay. “Officers can use this information to acquire suspect vehicle information from a scene of a crime, compare plate numbers against those of stolen cars, or wanted individuals on a crime database like the National Crime Information Center, and they can determine where known offenders have traveled to,” he said.

Henry said the LPR camera system, which takes photos of vehicle license

plates similar to cameras used on tollways, provides alerts when vehicles reported stolen or associated with a known suspect are detected, as well as vehicles identified in a Silver Alert.

He said Flock Safety’s two-year contract with the city would include the operating system and installing 10 cameras at fixed locations in Sturgeon Bay for $31,500 in the first year, and a recurring annual charge of $30,000 in the second year for a total cost of $61,500.

The city budgeted $34,500 in 2024 for the LPR camera system.

Henry said the cameras, for which he declined to identify specifically where they would be installed because of investigative reasons, would be leased and not owned by the city, with Flock Safety maintaining them for year-round use as part of the contract.

He said he hopes the LPR camera system will be installed early this year for use by the SBPD upon approval by the Common Council.

Henry said it would be up to the city as to whether to continue using the system after two years, or have the company remove the cameras.

Resurfacing Planned for City Police and Fire Boat The committee also recommended spending $39,234.82 to resurface the 27-foot boat used by the city’s police and fire departments.

The 2010 vessel built by SAFE Boats has nylon-covered collars that surround it and non-skid pads on the deck, and those collars and non-skid pads have deteriorated over the years from constant exposure to water and sunlight, causing the collars to leak and the pads to break apart, said Henry.

He said the repairs should make the vessel look like new to keep in operation for another 14 years.

Henry said the vessel will continue to be docked on the west side during the boating season and available for patrols by the police department and water rescues in Sturgeon Bay’s fire district.

According to the SAFE Boats price quote, the company would send two technicians from the State of Washington to Sturgeon Bay to replace the collars and non-skid pads. Labor would account for $21,441 of the total project cost.

Land Trust Accelerates Protection Efforts DCLT competes with developers to protect natural resources

by CRAIG STERRETT craig@ppulse.com

A

s Emily Wood steered her SUV into Bear Creek to ford the stream in December, backseat passenger Carrie Ehrfurth received a text, exclaimed “We closed!” and rang a cowbell she had in her backpack.

Wood, the Door County Land Trust Executive Director, was driving this reporter, Project Coordinator Ehrfurth, and Land Protection Manager Brian Forest through what will become a DCLT public nature preserve in the Town of Clay Banks. Ehrfurth had just learned about the Land Trust finalizing a separate land-protection deal near Brussels.

“More cowbell!” Wood said, smiling.

It was a light moment from a group that takes land protection seriously and celebrates the victories.

And, if it seems DCLT has accelerated its efforts and increased its holdings from end to end of Door County, that’s intentional.

Now is the time to protect more land, said Wood. The DCLT leaders intend to continue to complete land-protection deals at a similar pace as in 2023, when the organization added 406 acres to

increase the total acreage it protects to 9,500. The organization added slightly more than 100 acres the year before.

“We are really putting our foot on the gas,” Wood said, noting that organizations such as the Nature Conservancy and The Ridges have the same sense of urgency. “We feel that we’re at an inflection point, where land protection either is going to happen now or those places will be lost forever to development and natural-resource pressure.”

To achieve that pace, the organization altered its strategy over the years, Wood said. At its founding in 1986, DCLT took in many pristine sites that were free and separated from past development and agriculture.

“It was an intentional change in strategy,” Wood said. “As the peninsula becomes more fragmented, the native ecosystems become harder to find in those large parcels, and on top of it, those very pristine lands that we protect are often the lands that we don’t push the public to.”

With the 2023 acquisition of the Bear Creek site in the town of Clay Banks, DCLT purchased partially forested land suited for hunting, fishing, hiking and a parking area, and acres that were used for crops and pasture.

Those fallow acres have a “very high restoration potential,” Wood said, adding that the DCLT has a crew that has become excellent at transforming

fields to harbor native grasses, plants and animals.

“We can put in the parking lot and all of the signage and host educational hikes there and get 20 or 30 people out on the landscape without worrying that we’re going to damage a fragile ecosystem,” Wood said.

The heightened pace of land protection doesn’t mean DCLT has lowered its standards. Before accepting land donations or pursuing permanent easements or purchases, the land must meet several conservation targets. The Bear Creek site “checked box after box” of DCLT objectives, Wood said.

“If a property like this is sold, it can be parceled out and developed pretty quickly,” Wood said. “Protection is not a given. It’s not a permanent thing unless people are doing it intentionally.”

With the pursuit of grant funds to protect land in the Town of Union, and the completion of two land-protection deals in the Town of Clay Banks and one in the Town of Brussels, DCLT increased its presence in southern Door County in 2023. DCLT also has four sites as far north as Washington Island and in 2022, increased its presence in the bay of Green Bay by expanding its Chambers Island Nature Preserve to 900 acres.

“We’re trying to make sure we serve all of the community of Door County,” said Cinnamon Rossman, Director of Charitable Giving.

Three research projects involving Door County locations received University of Wisconsin Sea Grant College Program grants.

–A $252,000 grant went to a regional project by UW-Milwaukee’s Sandra McLellan, “Development of a Risk-Based Framework for Beach Closing Decisions,” which will include one Door County beach.

–The Wisconsin Historical Society received a $109,000 grant to research a shipwreck near Little Harbor and another near Chambers Island.

-Nan Li’s UW-Madison research project will focus on ice fishing enthusiasts’ “risk perceptions of climate change and associated hazards.”

Motivated in part by 2021 ice rescues near Sturgeon Bay, researchers plan to use the $260,000 grant to interview anglers, guides and rescue personnel.

PENINSULA PRIDE MEETS FOR WATERSHED CONSERVATION Peninsula Pride Farms – a farmer-led watershed conservation group in Kewaunee and Southern Door counties – will review the group’s progress from the past year and explore strategies for further conservation efforts during its annual conference, 9 am – 2:45 pm Feb. 13 at Kewaunee County Fairgrounds Expo Hall, 625 Third St., Luxemburg.

POWER PLANT DEMOLITION NEEDS PERMIT DUE TO FALCONS Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) proposes to issue a permit for the incidental taking of a rare bird, which may result from demolition of the Kewaunee Power Station. The presence of the state endangered peregrine falcon is confirmed in the vicinity of the project site. DNR staff determined that the work may result in the incidental taking of falcons.

“Incidental take” refers to the unintentional loss of individual endangered or threatened animals or plants that does not put the species’ overall population at risk.

The public may submit written comments regarding project-related impacts to the peregrine falcon by Feb. 23 to: Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, c/o Rori Paloski, DNR Conservation Biologist, 101 S. Webster St. Madison, WI 53707 or to Rori.

Southern Door Board Selects Six Superintendent Candidates Community involved in survey, interviews

by CRAIG STERRETT craig@ppulse.com

T

he Southern Door County School Board reviewed 20 application packets and selected six candidates to interview in its search for a superintendent.

Also during its Jan. 31 retreat, the board compiled a list of names for two, 13-member interview panels to meet with three candidates starting Feb. 5, and three more on Feb. 7, said Penny Price, board president.

Each of the six – if all agree to the interview times – will rotate from one panel to the next. Teachers, administrators and community volunteers or community members recruited by the board make up the larger panels, along with Colleen Timm, CESA 7 Administrator.

The seven school board members make up the third panel. The board will conduct second-round interviews Feb. 12 with two or three finalists, Price said.

“We had a very healthy candidate pool,” Price said. “I was thrilled about going through the applications. We have amazing people that want to come work at Southern Door.”

Neither Price nor Interim Superintendent Tony Klaubauf would say if all the candidates are from Wisconsin or if any are currently employed in the district.

Sevastopol High School Principal Troy Schaefer announced the class of 2024 valedictorian as Ezra Linnan and salutatorian as Logan Filar. In addition to their achievement of having the two highest weighted cumulative (From left) Ezra Linna. Logan grade-point averages, Linnan scored a perfect score as a junior Filar. Submitted on the ACT test, and Filar fulfilled all graduation requirements and will graduate with the class of 2024 after his junior year.

Filar, son of Paul and Trisha Filar of Sturgeon Bay, will attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology and plans to study physics.

Linnan, son of Sean and Kristine Linnan of Sturgeon Bay, plans to study either biology or chemistry.

Survey: What Stakeholders Want in a Superintendent The board and CESA 7 director conducted a community-input meeting in early December and conducted a survey, releasing results on Jan. 9.

Of the 172 respondents, parents made up 40%; school employees, including those who have children in the district or another district made up another 47%; residents without children in the district made up 12%; with single responses coming from individuals who specifically identified themselves as a student, a school retiree and a former school employee.

Survey results showed 38% wanted a superintendent with a servant-leadership style, 29% wanted a superintendent to collaborate with staff before making decisions, and 23% wanted a leader who had a democratic style, consulting with others but making final decisions.

SEVASTOPOL ANNOUNCES VALEDICTORIAN, SALUTATORIAN

Only 12% said the next superintendent “should make only minimal changes” for the district, while 69% want to see some changes, and more than 18% wanted a superintendent who’d make major transformations.

Most respondents said they wanted a superintendent who had some experience as a school administrator of some type, and they identified the top qualities for the next superintendent as shared decision making, organized, motivating, visible and visionary.

As for personal attributes, those surveyed identified integrity first, listening and accessibility second, and consistency third.

Staff members indicated that they wanted a superintendent who creates an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect.

A pianist and accompanist for Gibraltar Area School singers and musicians stepped up this past fall and winter to fill an opening at the high school and middle school.

Sara Bong’s full-time-substitute efforts and work as secondary-school choir teacher earned praise and expressions of gratitude from the school board and high school principal, James DeBroux.

Effective Feb. 5, the district hired Mark Lorentz as Secondary Choir teacher.

DeBroux said Lorentz has extensive experience working with students ages 11-18 in camps, Boys & Girls Club and two positions student-teaching while finishing his studies at Lawrence University.

In addition, he gained experience conducting in college and served as a church liturgical director.

STURGEON BAY UNBEATEN IN MATH MEETS Sturgeon Bay High improved to 5-0 in Packerland Conference competitions with two wins at the end of January and one more this month. James Zittlow of Southern Door had a perfect score of 40 in the fifth meet, and so did Sturgeon Bay junior Luke Selle.

Among seniors, in the fourth meet of the season, Zittlow tied with Ben Stephens of Sturgeon Bay, with scores of 35, and Sevastopol’s Ezra Linnan finished one point behind in third.

In the third conference meet, in January, Sturgeon Bay’s Jade Tomberlin finished first, missing one question for a 37, followed

by Linnan’s 35.

LOIS SHAW

b. 1935 - Jan. 30, 2024

Lois K. Shaw, 88, of Sturgeon Bay, passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, Jan. 30, 2024, at Pine Crest Village after a prolonged struggle with dementia.

Born in Manitowoc, in 1935 (“Me and Social Security!” she often said), Lois was the youngest daughter of the late Louis and Florence (Pierson) Klingbiel. She graduated from Manitowoc’s Lincoln High School in 1953 and went on to train as a Medical Laboratory Technician in Minneapolis. In 1956, she married Bruce C. Shaw in Manitowoc. In 1974, they made Sturgeon Bay their home.

Lois was a strong alto and loved to sing – anytime, anywhere, making a joyful noise to the Lord. She “harmonized the world” with the Sweet Adelines and was a devoted member of the choir and Circle Singers at Hope United Church of Christ. She loved her church and church family and was a member of Hope Church for 49 years. She enjoyed golf and played in local leagues for many years. She rarely missed a chance to travel, especially to visit National Parks on “girl’s trips” with her daughters. At home, she tended the flowers in her yard. Lois never lost her appreciation of sunsets over the bay and frequently walked to Sunset Park to enjoy yet another.

Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of her family and many friends, who will deeply miss her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings Edith Denk and Robert Klingbiel, ex-husband Bruce Shaw, and son Timothy Shaw. Lois is survived by two sisters-in-law, Bonita Klingbiel of Fond du Lac and Jane Shaw of Sherwood, children Michael Shaw and Suzanne (Ronald) Miller of Sturgeon Bay and Sarah (Charles) Willems of Charlotte, North Carolina. Known affectionately as “Granny,” Lois was a loving and kind grandmother to Grant Shaw, Elliot (fiancée, Hannah Strauss) Shaw, Michael (Meagan) Wilderwoods, Matthew (Shannon Montano) Wilder, Sydney Willems and Bryce Willems, step-grandson John (fiancée, Lindsey Tyler) Miller, and great-granddaughter Penelope Violet Shaw.

A memorial service to celebrate Lois’s life will be held this summer. Details will be forthcoming. Her family thanks Unity Hospice, and especially the staff and residents at Pine Crest Village, Lois’s home for over nine years. Memorials to honor Lois’s life can be made to Hope United Church of Christ or the Door County Land Trust. Forbes Funeral Home is serving the family.

wo sixth-graders at T.J. Walker Middle School in Sturgeon Bay produced winning entries in a contest designed to increase civic engagement while celebrating First Amendment rights.

Ella Nerby took second place for her editorial cartoon highlighting the importance of the First Amendment, and Steven Blevins received an Honorable Mention for a Letter to the Editor he wrote, “First Amendment is the Most Important Amendment of All.” The two sixth-graders were among 16 students across the state awarded cash, certificates and the opportunity to be published by newspapers for their winning submissions in the 2023 Wisconsin Civics Games Editorial Writing and Cartoon Contest.

Nerby and Blevins are the first students from Door County to have received one of the rewards in the three years the Wisconsin Newspaper Association Foundation (WNA Foundation) has hosted the contest for students in middle school and high school. Nineteen schools across the state participated in this year’s contest.

Students were asked to convey their opinions about an issue related to the First Amendment through editorial writing or an editorial cartoon. The latter was Nerby’s choice because she said she’s always liked art and drawing.

“I thought it was a cool challenge to test my art skills against the First Amendment,” she said.

She said the First Amendment empowers people and even she feels that.

“As a middle schooler, I don’t have much power but I can use my voice,” she said.

First-place winners in each contest receive $500, second-place winners receive $250, third-place winners receive $100, and honorable mention recipients receive $50.

Dear editor, I believe that the first amendment is what this country’s founding was based upon. The first amendment is about freedom of speech and our right to peaceably assemble in protest, which was not true before our independence from the british.

The british had stopped protesting against things such as the Sugar act, or when the founding fathers had to hide from the british government to gather in the Continental Congress. They had also stopped americans telling people the truth, about how they were repressed from saying what they wanted and protesting.

If we did not have the first amendment, we would not be able to protest on things such as giving equal rights to all people, or protests on the war in Vietnam. and if we weren’t able to protest on those topics, we would have a worse government where they pick and choose what laws to keep and what laws to discard. If we didn’t have the first amendment, we wouldn’t have the ability to talk about the government negatively, which a lot of people in other countries can not do. The first amendment is the most important amendment of all.

Steven Blevins is a 6th grader at T.J. Walker Middle School in Sturgeon Bay. This letter won an Honorable Mention in the Wisconsin Civics Games in the editorial writing category

“I’m not going to lie to you,” Blevins said when asked why he participated. “The reason I wanted to do it was for the prizes. There was no reason for me not to do it.”

No matter the reason, he was all in once he started, and one of the outcomes was how it helped him grow his writing skills.

“For every essay I write, I’m a better essay writer,” he said.

Nerby also realized personal-growth lessons through the contest.

“I learned to not be so hard on myself,” she said. “I had the idea in mind when I started, but I redid it so many times.”

The contest is part of the WNA Foundation’s response to declining civics education and participation in the democratic process. That it required students to research the First Amendment and its liberties appealed to Stephen Jacobson, who was the T.J. Walker Middle School sixth-grade geography teacher who pitched the contest to his students.

“We had great conversations in class about this topic as we were promoting it to the students, and as a social studies teacher, I was excited to help build a sense of civic responsibility in my students,” he said. “Freedom isn’t free, and I hope that our students don’t take their privileges for granted.”

Participation was 100% voluntary.

“I had six students attend my political cartoon workshop, and two students submitted work for the contest,” Jacobson said. “Mrs. [Kasee] Jandrin [English Language Arts teacher] had 10 students attend her essay workshop and she submitted three essays.”

The contest enabled the students to practice writing, critical thinking and analytical skills and provided a platform for students to explore and express their understanding of the First Amendment through writing. continued on page 9

letters to the editor Rekindling Our Commitment to Oaths I recently read Liz Cheney’s book, Oath and Honor. Have you heard anyone talking about oath or honor lately? I haven’t. How sad.

Oaths are simple and go by many names. In church we called them creeds (“I believe in one God…”), or commandments (“Thou shalt not lie…”).

In school we said the Pledge of Allegiance.

In Boy Scouts we said the scout oath daily. When we got married we declared before God, our family and friends an oath to remain faithful to our spouse (“in sickness and health…”). In court we take an oath to “tell the truth, the whole truth...”.

Honor is tied to our oaths. Basically, our honor is whether we live up to our oaths every day. In church we are taught to examine our conscience. In Boy Scout

vespers we sang, “Have I kept my honor bright? Can I go to sleep tonight? My guess is these practices are not part of our daily routine anymore, and we suffer dearly from their loss.

Oath. Honor. The only place I hear these words regularly today is the military. Soldiers take an oath to protect our freedoms and many give their lives honoring that oath. It should give us pause. The only other place I hear those words poignantly used is the swearing in of the President of the United States – to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

That is what Liz Cheney wrote about.

Read her book in preparation for your voting in the 2024 Presidential election.

It should not only help elucidate who you will vote for, but could also rekindle your commitment to the oaths you have taken, and help you value honor once again. It did for me.

Mariner Park Boat Launch?

Based on meeting minutes and draft plans, the Town of Liberty Grove Plan Commission is now considering using a large portion of Mariner Park as a boat launch and a vehicle and boat trailer parking lot. This, even though currently there is a perfectly good existing boat launch, open to the public, on the adjoining property owned by the Weborg family.

The decision to purchase the Mariner Park property for just under $1.5 million was made during a 2019 Town Board meeting which followed an earlier 111-19 vote by registered town voters in favor of the purchase. As you may recall, purchase by the town was predicated on declarations made by then Town Chairman John Lowry, who stated, “the people would decide the use of the property.”

During the spring of 2019, the town conducted a survey in which town taxpayers were asked to prioritize 18 uses for the park. The top three priorities of the 644 respondents were, in order of preference: 1) create a public park with

walking paths and benches; 2) refurbish existing docks; and 3) construct a small pavilion.

The fourth priority was to create a “safe harbor” with a launch ramp only.

Unfortunately, this fourth choice – with the requisite vehicle and boat trailer parking – would require using much of the green space in this small gem of a park. Why would two boat launches be needed within 100 yards of each other?

Mariner Park, and the proposed improvements, will cost Liberty Grove taxpayers millions of dollars before it’s completed. It’s only right that taxpayers again be provided the opportunity to vote on park plans prior to being finalized. After all, Town of Liberty Grove taxpayers are the ones paying for it! If most tax-paying voters believe that another boat launch is needed, let them say so.

Lastly, the town should post all proposed Mariner Park plans online so registered town voters can cast informed votes. Perhaps this could be coordinated with the spring election?

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO

Locals on the at Door County Short Film Fest

by SAM WATSON sam@ppulse.com

W

hat began as a casual movie night in the basement of a Sister Bay coffee shop has turned into a film festival that’s been running for 15 years strong.

The Door County Short Film Fest (DCSFF), led by festival director Chris Opper, started out in 2009 as a gathering of 20 to 30 people in the downstairs of the former Base Camp Coffee. Within two years, the festival outgrew the venue and moved to the Sister Bay Town Hall and in 2023, it moved again, this time to Northern Sky’s Gould Theater.

Owen Alabado, Frank Maloney, Dan Smrz and Kurt Krauss are a few of the filmmakers with local connections whose work will debut on the big screen during this year’s festival, Feb. 16-17. Alabado will

present a psychological thriller, Two Truths and a Lie; Maloney and Smrz will show a music video for Raising the Stakes, a song by Frank Maloney and His Big Country Unit; and Krauss will unveil an adaptation of a Stephen King story, The Last Rung on the Ladder.

A Hometown Horror Story When Alabado moved to Door County in 2020, he brought with him his acting and filmmaking experience from his former Los Angeles home base.

“When I moved to Door County, I knew I wanted to continue to make films and find out how many people here would be interested,” Alabado said. “There’s a lot of talent up here.”

In the past, Alabado has created a comedy, a martial-arts movie and a web series based on his standup – but Two Truths and a

Lie marks his first time making a psychological thriller.

The film follows a group of friends whose game night goes very wrong. Its cast, which Alabado assembled during an audition at The Filling Station at Husby’s, is composed entirely of Gibraltar High School graduates.

Those graduates include familiar faces in Door County’s performing-arts scene, like singersongwriter Zephyr Ciesar; Brandon Bogenschutz, who performs in local improv troupe The Knobs alongside Alabado; and Logan Thomas, who performed in cabaret shows by Northern Door Pride, which Alabado founded. They starred alongside local actors Sam Radosevich, Alex Janisse and Justina Zukauskait.

Though Two Truths and a Lie was not Alabado’s first time making

Holistic Health Approach “During appointments, we go beyond dental health, discussing medical histories and medications. If patients lack a primary physician or need assistance in mental health, blood pressure, diabetes, or sleep apnea, we help them find providers and send referrals for overall health improvement,” Fischer shares.

Celebrating Children’s Health: DCMC Dental Clinic’s Tooth Fairy Fundraiser

As we embrace National Children’s Dental Health Month, Door County Medical Center (DCMC) Dental Clinic announces its annual Tooth Fairy Fundraiser, happening February 19-23, 2024, between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm. The booth is located at the 16th Place entrance of the Sturgeon Bay Campus, where volunteers will be selling symbolic paper teeth for various amounts. Look out for tooth fairies of all ages roaming the hospital departments, collecting donations, and selling paper teeth.

The DCMC Dental Clinic stands out as the sole dental office in Door and Kewaunee County accepting Medicaid Insurance since 1999. She continues, “We’ve served thousands annually, bridging gaps in dental care. Each year, our fundraising efforts address Medicaid reimbursement deficits, ensuring we can continue serving the community and contributing to overall health improvement.”

As we celebrate National Children’s Dental Health Month, please join DCMC in supporting the Tooth Fairy Fundraiser and our ongoing mission to provide accessible, comprehensive dental care for everyone in our community. Together, we build healthier smiles and brighter futures.

This year holds special significance as DCMC celebrates the Dental Clinic’s 25th Anniversary. “As part of the celebration, we’ll be handing out tooth-shaped cut-out cookies. This not only marks the clinic’s transformation and growth but also highlights our success in increasing access to dental care, with over 5,000 patient visits annually,” says DCMC Dental Clinic Director Tanya Fischer.

Accessible Dental Care Community collaboration is important in ensuring accessible dental care, especially for children. DCMC’s Oral Health Coalition, is comprised of members from United Way, WIC, Public Health, ADRC, and the Library and meets regularly to plan events and share oral health education. This collaborative effort also includes a referral system from various organizations to connect community members with the dental care they need.

Additionally, DCMC Dental Clinic actively participates in the WI Oral Health Alliance’s “Seal A Smile” program. Through this initiative, the clinic brings portable equipment into schools, providing exams, sealants, and fluoride varnish to 1st-5th graders.

Fischer adds that this year, the program has more than doubled the number of participating students, emphasizing DCMC’s commitment to proactive dental care.

Children’s Dental Health: A Vital Issue Children’s dental health significantly impacts their overall wellbeing. Oral health is crucial for a child’s ability to eat, speak, learn, and socialize without pain or discomfort. It extends beyond the physical, affecting their confidence, self-esteem, and even academic performance.

A poignant illustration of the importance of children’s dental health comes from a recent patient case.

“We received a call from a local school concerning a child with a swollen cheek, experiencing nighttime pain, and struggling to concentrate in school,” shares Fischer. “After obtaining parental consent, we scheduled an appointment. X-rays revealed the child had two primary teeth broken to the gum line and were infected.”

In response, our dedicated team extracted the remaining teeth, prescribed antibiotics, and addressed other cavities discovered through the X-rays. The result? The child is now free from pain and benefiting from ongoing preventative care. This story underscores the impact of addressing children’s dental health, not only on their immediate well-being but also on their future quality of life.

Untreated tooth decay in children can lead to missed school days, lower grades, and potential long-term challenges in adulthood. At DCMC Dental Clinic, we are committed to addressing these issues head-on, ensuring that every child in our community receives the comprehensive dental care they need for a brighter, healthier future.

Language Access and Expanded Hours “Ensuring language accessibility is crucial for us,” says Fischer. “We’ve been fortunate to use an interpreting service called Martii—an iPad app connecting us to live interpreters who assist throughout a patient’s visit.

The platform offers access in more than 250 languages. To further assist Spanish-speaking individuals, the clinic can provide intake papers and medical histories in Spanish.”

Expanding accessibility over the years, the clinic is now open Monday through Friday from 8 am to 4:30 pm. Patients with Medicaid and those who are uninsured (supporting up to the 200% federal poverty rate) are welcome to receive services.

A Healthier Relationship with Food

A Call to Action: Take Care of Your Heart Every 39 seconds, an American experiences a heart attack.

During American Heart Month, dedicate time to prioritize your cardiovascular well-being. Make conscious changes to your diet and exercise habits to decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other related complications.

Prevention is the Best Medicine Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) underscore three pivotal risk factors for heart disease: high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking.

Additional risk factors include diabetes and obesity, all of which can be mitigated through lifestyle modifications.

“I always emphasize the significance of preventive measures,” says Dr. Jim Heise, Chief Medical Officer at Door County Medical Center (DCMC).

“Addressing risk factors early on can significantly reduce the likelihood of heart disease. It’s about empowering individuals to take charge of their cardiovascular health.”

The path to a healthier heart often starts with what’s on our plates. Cathy Keller, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at Door County Medical Center advises, “Consider your diet a cornerstone of heart health. Embrace nutrientrich foods, follow heart-healthy eating plans, and let your meals be a celebration of wellness.”

The American Heart Association (AHA) and NHLBI recommend the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan in order to reduce the likelihood of developing heart disease. The DASH eating plan requires no special foods and instead provides daily and weekly nutritional goals. This plan recommends: • Incorporating vegetables, fruits, and whole grains into meals.

• Including fat-free or low-fat dairy products, fish, poultry, beans, nuts, and vegetable oils.

• Limiting foods high in saturated fat, such as fatty meats, fullfat dairy products, and tropical oils like coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils.

• Minimizing the intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and sweets.

At Door County Medical Center, we believe that fostering well-being begins with knowledge. Take a moment this February to take stock of your heart health. Schedule a check-up, discuss your risk factors with your healthcare provider, and understand your individual needs. It’s a proactive step towards a healthier, more informed you.

Jim Heise, MD

FAMILY MEDICINE

Move More Physical activity has numerous benefits. It strengthens your heart, improves circulation, reduces stress, and can help achieve weight-loss goals—all of which lower the risk of developing heart disease. As little as 60 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity such as walking briskly helps your heart. For major health benefits, aim for at least 2.5 hours a week

continued from page 1 a short film, it was his first time doing so with just a few friends to help him out behind-the-scenes, rather than a full crew.

That meant Alabado played multiple roles backstage, serving as the movie’s screenwriter, director, cinematographer and editor once shooting wrapped in the spring of 2021.

He also handled lighting and sound, and taught his cast – familiar with theater acting – the basics of camera acting, which is subtler. The actors were quick to pick up this new skill, Alabado said.

“I’m incredibly proud of this cast,” Alabado said. “It’s really nice to see my friends in Door County get to that point where they’re feeling comfortable on camera.”

With the film now ready for the big screen, Alabado feels inspired to make more.

“With Two Truths and a Lie getting into the festival, I feel that itch again to start writing another script,” Alabado said.

From Musicians to Movie-Makers Local country musician Frank Maloney was on his way home from Husby’s around 13 years ago when the idea for the song Raising the Stakes struck him.

It wasn’t until earlier this year that the song, recorded by Maloney’s band Frank Maloney and His Big Country Unit, got its own music video – shot, fittingly, at Husby’s. The venue is a special spot for the band, which performs there often, according to its drummer and music video co-director Dan Smrz.

“Husby’s has always been super supportive of me and Frank, so it was really cool that it worked out,” Smrz said.

The vision for the music video was Maloney’s; Smrz and Chris Opper helped translate that vision onto the screen.

While Smrz drew from his experience filming and directing the Frankly Stoned podcast, creating smaller-scale music videos and writing and directing a play in high school, Opper brought the equipment and his filmmaking experience, shooting and editing the film. Both helped Maloney organize his ideas with a storyboard.

“Chris and Dan made me sit down and plan it out,” Maloney said with a laugh.

“I was just going to go by the seat of my pants.”

Lugging a music-video crew into Husby’s on a busy night wasn’t an option, so the video was shot on Easter day when the bar was closed. The co-directors gathered friends to act as extras in the video, and when the cast was assembled, they blacked out the windows in the bar, set up the cameras and rolled. Once filming was finished, Maloney and Smrz agreed to show the final product at DCSFF at Opper’s suggestion.

While Raising the Stakes was the first music video for Frank Maloney and His Big Country Unit, Maloney and Smrz hope it won’t be their last; they both enjoyed their experiment with an art form that’s different from their usual.

“We’re always grinding the music scene up here,” Smrz said. “It’s cool to

A Festival Frequent A year after his historical drama Confessions of a Sailor premiered at DCSFF, producer and Sturgeon Bay native Kurt Krauss is back with another short film.

This one, titled The Last Rung on the Ladder, is an adaptation of the 1978 short story by Stephen King, adjusted for the screen by writers Max Blaska and Karla S. Bryant. In addition to Krauss, the film’s Door County connections include actress Carrie Counihan and BrusselsUnion-Gardner volunteer firefighter Adam Monfils, who served on the film’s safety team.

The Last Rung on the Ladder follows award-winning author and mental health advocate Lawrence Gatlin, who recounts the loss of his sister while attending a gala in his honor.

Blaska bought rights to adapt the story through Stephen King’s Dollar Baby program. The program, which

was discontinued starting in 2024, sold amateur and student filmmakers the rights to one of King’s short stories for the price of a dollar. Filmmakers would have the rights for one year and could not financially profit from the film.

The short film was submitted to several not-for-profit film festivals, per the contract with the King organization.

It made its world premiere to a crowd of over 300 people at Venue 404 in Oshkosh, Wisconsin – one of the movie’s filming locations – in late January.

The screening was preceded by talks from guest speakers from mentalhealth and sex-trafficking prevention organizations.

“This story carries some heavy themes in areas of mental illness, sexual exploitation, and suicide,” Krauss said. “Beyond bringing these to light, we wanted the premiere to be a place where audiences could be made aware of resources to receive help.”

“Dedicated to Preserving Your Treasures”

An ice carver at work during last year’s Fire and Ice Festival. FILE RACHEL LUKAS

Jeremy Popelka of Popelka Trenchard Glass. Facebook

Fire and Ice and Everything Nice Some like it hot, some like it cold – and at Sturgeon Bay’s Fire and Ice Festival, Feb. 16-17, there’s a little bit of both.

The fun begins on Feb. 16, 5:30-7 pm, with a luminary-lit hike at Crossroads at Big Creek.

After trekking through a wintry wonderland, enjoy hot chocolate by the bonfire.

Crossroads is located at 2041 Michigan St. If you’ve hiked up an appetite, Drömhus offers date-night specials on both Feb. 16 and 17. For $50, couples can get a bottle of wine and a pizza. Guests that sing the chorus of Pat Benatar’s “Fire and Ice” will receive a free piece of chocolate cake.

Drömhus is located at 611 Jefferson St. The following day, starting at 9 am, watch novice and professional carvers in downtown Sturgeon Bay turn blocks of ice into works of art.

Get there in style in a Door County Trolley, which will run11 am – 3 pm and make stops at Third Avenue PlayWorks, 239 N. 3rd Ave.; Popelka Trenchard Glass Studio, 64 S. 2nd Ave.; Bay Shore Outfitters, 59 N. Madison Ave.; and Kitty O’Reillys Irish Pub, 59 E. Oak St. After seeing the snowy sights, warm up at Third Avenue

PlayWorks’ indoor winter market, which offers art, handmade knit pieces, freeze-dried goodies, hot chocolate and more, 10 am – 2 pm.

Then hit the trails 11 am – 1 pm with a hike, snowshoe or ski at Potawatomi State Park in Nasewaupee, thawing out again with refreshments and a bonfire at the warming shelter at the picnic area on the park’s south shoreline.

Also at 11 am – 1 pm is a bake sale and performances by local teen dance group Hype Dance Team.

Performances take place 11:30 am and 12:30 pm at Martin Park, 207 S. 3rd Ave. In the same timeframe (11 am – 1 pm), a soup and bread sampler will be held at Master’s Cup Coffee House. The funds generated from tickets – $7 for adults and $3 for children under 10 – will support mental health programs.

Master’s Cup is located at 1756 Michigan Street, attached to Prince of Peace Church.

The festivities continue at Popelka Trenchard Glass Studio, where guests can watch blown-glass art being made, 1-3 pm.

A different kind of demonstration will be held at Crossroads 2-4 pm, when attendees can watch a historical reenactment of a Sturgeon Bay ice harvest. Reenactors will

set up camp in front of the learning center and use authentic period tools to show how ice was cut and transported.

Warm up with a special Fire and Ice Fish Boil at Waterfront Mary’s Bar and Grill at 5:30 pm. Call 920.743.3690 to make reservations.

Waterfront Mary’s is located at 3662 N. Duluth Ave. The festival will end with a bang (well, several bangs) during the 9 pm fireworks show over the water.

The best viewing locations include Otumba Park, Stone Harbor Resort, Bayview Park, Graham Park, Sawyer Park and Sonny’s Pizzeria.

Sturgeon Bay’s Open-Mic Scene Waterfront Mary’s Open Mic

by SAM WATSON sam@ppulse.com

I

An open-mic night at Waterfront Mary’s. Facebook

f you want to better understand Door County’s music scene, whether you’re new in town or a beginner musician, local folk singer-songwriter Jeanne Kuhns has advice for you: go to an open mic.

“This community of musicians has many layers,” said Kuhns, who hosts a weekly open mic at Sturgeon Bay café, The Gnoshery. “There’s a lot of people just starting out, all the way up to professional musicians. The thing that’s neat about this community is that there’s a mix of these people at things like open mics.”

In Sturgeon Bay, four venues – Waterfront Mary’s, Tambourine Lounge, Kitty O’Reillys and The Gnoshery – host open mics regularly throughout the winter. Here’s a look at each of them from the people who know them best.

Steel Crossing hosts an open-mic night at Kitty O’Reillys. Submitted.

Where: Kitty O’Reillys Irish Pub, 59 E Oak St. When: 6 pm on Fridays The hosts: Local four-piece band Steel Crossing has been hosting Kitty’s open-mic nights

HAPPENINGS CALENDAR

Where: Waterfront Mary’s, 3662 N. Duluth Ave. When: Tuesdays at 9 pm The host: In the past, this open mic has been hosted by Zach Vogel of Zach V Entertainment and Jamey Clark of local rock band Dirty Deuce, said Kiley Johnson of Waterfront Mary’s. Now, it’s headed by Adam Haste of the Adam Haste Band, who plays keys and guitar.

The musicians: In the days of the Steel Bridge Songfest, a music festival formerly organized by pat mAcdonald of Sturgeon Bay’s Tambourine Lounge, open-mic nights at Waterfront Mary’s often hosted groove sessions by musicians who were in the area for the festival, Johnson said. Now, local music-makers like Dirty Deuce and Steel Crossing are some of the venue’s mainstays.

Lounge as well as the Holiday Music Motel next door, hosts WRiTERS NiGHT. The weekly event is set up a bit differently from your average open mic.

During WRiTERS NiGHTs, three-person teams are assembled via bottle spin, then set loose to write music together.

The end result is a large circle, made up of small circles, making lots of noise – much like the tambourine that serves as the venue’s namesake, mAcdonald said.

The musicians: WRiTERS NiGHT used to be an invite-only event, with mAcdonald inviting musicians who he thought would meld well together. Now, it’s open to anyone, even poets and storytellers, from Door County and beyond.

“A lot of people say their best songs were written here, because they were immersed in this creative zoo,” mAcdonald said.

Starting comedy on a whim at an open mic in the year 2000, Mike has since devoted his life to perfecting the delivery of his high-energy act.

His genuine passion for his craft draws audience members into the unique world of Mike Brody: An affable, clever guy whose life is often derailed by his own neurotic, obsessivecompulsive and clumsy tendencies.

Open-Mic Scene continued from page 1 since December, said Bill Gironda, who sings and plays guitar for the band.

Participants are provided with a PA system and backline, plus a full bands’ worth of instrumentation, including drums, guitars and bass.

This makes for busy nights for band members – but it’s worth it for Gironda.

“I really love it because you never know who you’re going to meet,” Gironda said.

The musicians: Kitty’s open mics started off with an unexpected bang, filling up the room with around 60 people at Steel Crossing’s first night hosting, Gironda said.

Since then, the event has slowed down a bit, but it still draws regulars like Tony Besson, who plays guitar for Dorothy Scott and the Peacekeepers; Craig Konowalski, who previously starred in Northern Sky Theater’s Home for the Holiday show; John Welch of the countryrock unit John Welch Band; and

Musician signup starts around 1:30 pm.

The host: Jeanne Kuhns started hosting these open-mic afternoons in November, and she plans for them to run through the end of the offseason, around April or May. According to Kuhns, “every open mic has a different flavor,” and the taste of the open mic at The Gnoshery is an especially welcoming one for beginner musicians.

Its laid-back vibe is ideal “for musicians that are looking for a place to present new material where they don’t have to worry about being perfect,” Kuhns said. “No one cares

The musicians: Between the musicians and the other café-goers, the Gnoshery is usually a full house on Sunday afternoons, Kuhns said.

About half of the open-mic group plays cover songs and half plays original music.

Regulars on the mic include Craig Konowalski; singer-songwriter Holly Olm; Jen Polster and Mike Bleck, who form the Americana duo Wagon Roots; Chuck Sully, whose poetry readings are often backed up by instrumental music from other openmic participants; and Dave LeFevre, who treks up from Green Bay to Door County for the Gnoshery’s open mics.

Another regular is Kit Olsen, who sometimes takes a break from her shift at The Gnoshery by getting on the mic and singing.

Look down on those. It’s a tri-focal.
