MARITIME NOTES

FINCANTIERI DELIVERS NATION’S LARGEST LNG VESSEL Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding (FBS) made maritime history last week by delivering the largest U.S. Jones Act-compliant vessel to Crowley Maritime. The vessel was a 12,000-squarefoot liquefied natural gas (LNG) bunker barge named Progress.

“We take tremendous pride in seeing another FBS-built vessel leave Sturgeon Bay to its new operational home port,” FBS vice president and general manager Jan Allman said.

Progress was designed by Crowley’s engineering services group. The 416-foot barge can carry 3.17 million gallons of LNG. The vessel will provide ship operators at the port of Savannah, Georgia with access to a cleaner energy source.

LNG is the lowest carbon-based fuel currently available to maritime shipping. It’s reported to have 23% less greenhouse gas emissions compared to very/ultra-low sulfur fuel oil.

Progress is the third LNG barge built by FBS.

Sturgeon Bay – The Sturgeon Bay Common Council agreed Tuesday to pay fire chief Kalin Montevideo an additional $5,000 for the time she was the assistant chief and served as interim chief from Feb. 5 until May 23, when she became the permanent chief.

The council’s motion also sets Montevideo’s wage at Step 14, which presently has an annual salary of $108,754, said city finance director/treasurer Val Clarizio.

Clarizio said the wage step approved by the council is retroactive to Montevideo’s permanent appointment by the city’s Police and Fire Commission.

Though the commission has the sole discretion in selecting the fire chief under state law, the council has the authority to set the position’s salary.

Montevideo, who has been with the city’s fire department since 1999 and became the assistant chief in 2016, replaced Tim Dietman

A scene from a past Women’s Equality Day Car Parade event in Sturgeon Bay. Submitted.

ANNUAL WOMEN’S EQUALITY DAY CAR PARADE Sturgeon Bay – In celebration of Women’s Equality Day 2024, the League of Women Voters of Door County (LWDC) is hosting its fifth annual car parade Monday, aug. 26, in Sturgeon Bay, starting with the noon tolling of the bell tower on 3rd avenue.

Door County’s Equality Day Car Parade begins with cars lining up at 3rd avenue and Jefferson Street and follows an approximate 1.5-mile route down 3rd avenue, across the Steel Bridge, up Madison Street and around, to finally cross over the Oregon Street Bridge.

Cars then proceed to Martin Park for an allages celebration including a public reading of the 19th amendment, musical entertainment

by Cathy grier + the Troublemaker Women, treats and prizes for the best decorated cars. along with celebrating the landmark law guaranteeing a woman’s right to vote 104 years ago, the LWDC plans to highlight other milestones toward women’s equality, both nationally and right here in Door County, according to Heidi Ling, LWVDC secretary and car parade organizer.

“I am really proud of the fact that Wisconsin was the first state to ratify the 19th amendment on June 10, 1919,” she said.

“Women’s fight for equality didn’t stop with the 19th amendment, however. There was much done in the decades following to help women advance and there is still much to do.”

Passage of the Voting Right act of 1965 resulted in significant steps to advance the voting rights of women of color, and additional provisions in the Voting Rights act of 1975 applied to women who spoke Native languages. Today, the League of Women Voters continues its work to protect and expand voting rights across the u.S. “until as recently as the passage of the Equal Credit Opportunity act in 1974, women were not able to open bank accounts, apply for credit, or commit to mortgages without a male cosigner,” Ling said. “Our event celebrates this and many other accomplishments.” anyone can join the procession by decorating their cars or, as was popular in the original 1920 car parades, by honking their horns. Costumes are encouraged. The

City Settles With Walmart

by KEVIN BONESKE kevin@ppulse.com

A

fter meeting in closed session Tuesday, the Sturgeon Bay Common Council agreed to a settlement offered by Walmart to lower the property assessment for the 2023 and 2024 tax years on the three parcels the company owns along Egg Harbor Road, said Mayor David Ward.

The Walmart Real Estate Business Trust had reached an out-ofcourt settlement in 2022 with the city to lower its assessment for property tax years 2021 and 2022, and was scheduled next month to go to trial in Door County Circuit Court for its challenge to the assessment for 2023. The Trust also filed an objection to its 2024 assessment with the city’s Board of Review.

The objection filed on behalf of Walmart by the Mallery law firm based in Milwaukee stated the three parcels combined should be assessed for $5.27 million – the amount they were appraised for on Jan. 1, 2023 with a retrospective market evaluation – when they were being assessed for $6.671 million.

Ward said the latest settlement offer agreed to by the council lowers the assessed value to $6.3 million for tax years 2023 and 2024.

The out-of-court settlement in 2022 lowered the assessed value to $6.671 million. Prior to reaching a mediated agreement two years ago, the assessed value had been $7.65 million.

As a result of Walmart once again succeeding to lower its assessment, Ward said the company will receive a refund of property taxes imposed for 2023 on assessed value above $6.3 million, which total around $6,800 for all taxing entities, with the city’s share being $3,300.

Door County property tax records show Walmart paid $125,293.51 in property taxes for 2023, based on the three parcels having a combined assessed value of $6.671 million.

When the property tax bills for 2024 come out later this year, Ward said they will reflect Walmart’s combined assessed value for the three parcels is $6.3 million.

Walmart and other commercial retailers with stores in Wisconsin have sought to lower their property assessments with what is known as the “dark-store loophole,” in which they claim that their properties are worth the same or close to the lower value of similar, but empty buildings.

When Walmart filed its objection last year in Sturgeon Bay, the company claimed the assessed value was “excessive based on other comparable big-box stores and appraisals.”

Ward said Walmart also sought an assessed value of $6.3 million for the 2025 tax year, but the council decided against a settlement then because a reevaluation of properties in Sturgeon Bay is planned next year.

Given how property values have “skyrocketed” in Door County in recent years, he said there currently is an “imbalance” locally between the market values of properties and their assessed values, and the city will be compiling information on big-box stores during the reevaluation.

State law recognizes three possible methods for assessing property: the market approach, which compares properties that have sold to value those that have not; the cost approach, which is related to the cost to develop a property; and the income approach, which involves a property’s income potential.

City’s Reasons for Settling Ward said agreeing to the settlement, rather than continuing to battle Walmart in court, was best for the city, with the city and the company differing around $300,000 in what the assessment should be, rather than in the millions of dollars.

Though city officials perceived their prospects for winning in court improved after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled last year in favor of the City of Delavan’s assessment of a Lowe’s store, Ward said the city hasn’t done well in court fighting assessment disputes in recent years, such as when it lost the case against Stone Harbor.

Ward characterized those types of cases as having “asymmetrical” results, with the city at best only able to uphold its assessment, while losing in court could result in a judge lowering the assessment for more than the amount sought by the plaintiff.

“You can’t win, but you can lose in a trial,” he said.

Though the city’s insurance company would have covered the legal expenses to further litigate the case in court, Ward said it would still have involved additional staff time and work to proceed with a trial.

Residents Vote to Sell and Remove Cottages

by BETSY LECY pulseintern@ppulse.com

T

DOWNTOWN EGG HARBOR

own electors gathered for a special town meeting Tuesday, Aug. 6, and agreed with the sale and removal of the three, town-owned cottages on the Kinsey property.

The meeting of town electors – Gibraltar residents who are 18 or older and have lived within the town for at least 28 consecutive days – resulted in a 23-1 vote in favor of the town board soliciting bids for the sale and removal of the three cottages on the property: the Shorehaven, the Holiday and the Coach House.

The removal of the cottages is one aspect of the Fish Creek waterfront plan, which includes ideas for the Kinsey-property house, the carriage house, the parking lots and the sidewalks.

Repurposing the cottages to enhance green space was one of the conceptual designs favored by three town committees – the Harbor Commission, the Planning

Commission and the Parks & Lands Committee – and the town board, said Travis Thyssen, town administrator.

However, state statute also allows electors to weigh in when the board wants to dispose of town real property.

During the meeting – which lasted 15 minutes, including the voting – only two of the residents present chose to speak, and neither of those stated a strong preference.

One made a general comment about the voting process, another about the timeline for the removal of the cottages.

“I wouldn’t want this to be openended where, a year from now, they’re still not removed,” said resident Tom Rentmeester.

“I can assure you we want to remove them as soon as possible and everybody agrees to it,” said Steve Sohns, town board chair.

The board had a regular meeting scheduled for Aug. 7, but the agenda did not include next steps for the cottage project.

blacksmithclothingco.com 920-868-3216

Thyssen said the day after the special meeting that the board needed more time following the electors’ decision, and the details or timeline for the sale and removal of the cottages would not be determined until the board’s September meeting, or in a special town meeting.

For a special town meeting at the Old Town Hall, 24 electors gather to vote on the removal of the Kinsey-property BETSY LECY cottages.

Lake Michigan Earthquake a Mystery, Geoscientist Says

by ELEANOR CORBIN eleanor@ppulse.com

I

t was undoubtedly an earthquake that rattled Door County from the depths of Lake Michigan at 8:18 on the morning of Friday, Aug. 2.

But it’s also a mystery that it did happen.

“I’m not aware of any previous instances of an earthquake in Lake Michigan,” said Clifford Thurber, Professor Emeritus of geoscience at the University of WisconsinMadison.

With light shaking and no reported damage, the small, 2.9-magnitude earthquake is likely the first earthquake of the century in the region, and definitely “a little bit mysterious” to Thurber. Unlike other seismic happenings in the state, he said, this activity cannot be easily explained by known geophysical evidence or shifting ice.

While “ice-quakes” can happen when a fault forms in the ice on the Great Lakes, and “frost-quakes” can happen when rapid temperature changes cause ice to shrink and grow, true earthquakes in Wisconsin tend to happen along the WisconsinMinnesota border or near Northern Illinois, where there is more regular seismic activity.

Thurber is not explicitly aware of any fault lines under Lake Michigan, but following Friday’s events, he said, “There’s clearly a fault there,

and it’s probably a very old one. Why it chose to produce an earthquake today [Friday] is a mystery.”

With that said, the magnitude and location of the earthquake resulted in a low intensity experience for those who felt it. Fifty-two people reported to the United States

Geological Survey (USGS) that they could feel the shaking.

A 2.9 magnitude earthquake is considered on the smaller side of the Richter scale, a measure of the energy released by seismic activity that can get as high as 12. According to Thurber, a magnitude of three is around the mark where people can detect the movement, though that experience also depends on the location of the quake underground.

This earthquake was at a depth of 6.8 miles under the lake and a distance of 24.2 miles off shore.

While the position under the lake resulted in a less intense experience than if it were on land, this depth is considered relatively shallow, allowing for some on the peninsula to feel the tectonic shift.

Even though earthquakes in Wisconsin – especially Door County – are rarer than in other parts of the world, Thurber said he recommends that people stay informed about what to do during an earthquake.

At a base level, you should prepare to “drop, cover, hold” if inside, and move away from structures if outside. He also said it is important to know the earthquake risk of anyplace you plan to travel.

Those who were in Door County on Friday, Aug. 2 can report whether or not they felt the earthquake to the U.S. Geological Survey website at earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ eventpage/us6000nhkd/tellus.

DOOR COUNTY POLLING PLACES

Vote Aug. 13 Two questions on the primary ballot, if passed, would change the Wisconsin Constitution

by DEBRA FITZGERALD debra.fitz@ppulse.com

W

isconsin’s partisan primary is upon us, with election day on Tuesday, Aug. 13.

Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm, with locations listed below. Remember to bring an acceptable photo ID to the polling place. If you need to register at the polls, also bring along proof of residence (utility bill, financial documents or credit card statements, for example).

There are several things to remember for this election.

First, this is a partisan primary. That means voters may vote in only one party’s primary. If you choose a party (Democratic, Republican, Constitution, Libertarian and Wisconsin Green are all options, though the latter three only have write-in options, no candidates), votes cast in that party will be counted. If you do not choose a party – there’s a spot on the ballot for this choice but it’s not required – and you vote in more than one party, no votes will be counted.

Second, Wisconsin’s 8th Congressional seat is on the ballot twice. That’s because Mike Gallagher resigned the seat prior to the end of his term. One of the ballot choices puts the candidate in the seat until Jan. 2, 2025; the other elects the candidate for the regular term from Jan. 3, 2025 through Jan. 3, 2027.

Third, all five parties listed above are on the ballot, but there are only three contests, all inter-party on the Republican side. These races are among the three Republicans who want the 8th Congressional seat – André Jacque, Roger Roth and Tony Wied; the three Republicans who want the opportunity to challenge Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November – Eric Hovde, Charles E. Barman and Rejani Raveendran; and the two Republicans who want to serve Wisconsin’s First Assembly district – Joel Kitchens and Milt Swagel.

Lastly, there are two questions on the ballot that, if passed, would amend the Wisconsin Constitution.

The first question would prevent the Legislature from delegating its power to appropriate money. The second would require all federal funds Wisconsin receives to go through the Legislature before a governor could allocate the money.

The governor’s ability to allocate federal funds dates back to a 1930s state statute. Support and opposition to the referendum questions have largely divided along party lines, with Democrats opposed and Republicans in favor.

The position urging a “no” vote to both questions argues the change would enable legislators to stonewall the governor on important allocations, such as for emergencies and natural disasters.

The arguments urging a “yes” vote say the office of the governor should not have unilateral authority to distribute the billions of dollars Wisconsin can receive on an annual basis in federal supplemental aid.

UNION

Ag Road Getting $548,550 From State

by KEVIN BONESKE kevin@ppulse.com

T

he Town of Union in southern Door County has been awarded an Agricultural Roads Improvement Program (ARIP) grant from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) to cover 90% of the cost to resurface about a mile-and-ahalf section of Swamp Road.

Town chair Bruce Alberts said the surface on Swamp Road from County Y to the east past Truway Road and ending at the town line will be pulverized and new pavement placed on top, after which the town won’t be able to impose weight limits there for the next 10 years.

Alberts said that section of Swamp Road “needs work,” and the town is planning to resurface it next year after putting the project out for bids.

To be eligible to apply for the state funding, he said the town had Skyler Witalison of Stantec provide engineering services for reconstructing the road, and Lee Kinnard from Kinnard Farms helped organize information obtained from local

farmers related to Swamp Road’s use for agricultural purposes.

Of the $609,500 total estimated project cost, the ARIP award would pay for $548,550 as the state’s share, with the

Sidewalk Assessments continued from page 6 staff to benefit the safe travel of the public, into the city’s annual budget, similar to the process with roads.

She said the cost of installing sidewalks in a new subdivision, if required by the city’s Plan Commission, would be borne by the developer under the proposed assessment policy.

The matter of how the city pays for new sidewalks came to light earlier this year when residents along South Hudson Court and a portion of South Hudson Avenue objected to installing sidewalks there to connect portions of the Ahnapee State Trail because it could have cost them thousands of dollars in special assessments.

In response to that public outcry to the project, the council elected not to install sidewalks there and agreed to review how the city charges for them.

The city’s practice has been not to charge special assessments to replace existing sidewalks when they wear out, while new sidewalks may or may not be subject to special assessments.

New sidewalks that are part of projects receiving grant money or within a half-mile radius of a Tax Incremental District (TID) are possible examples under the city’s current practices where special assessments wouldn’t be charged.

With no specific policy in place as to who pays for the sidewalks, it’s now up to the council as to whether they should be assessed to the affected property owners.

Reeths said the city is now looking at adding sidewalks where they don’t exist and connecting them with current sidewalks to provide more walkability throughout Sturgeon Bay.

town responsible for the other $60,950, the remaining 10%.

The estimated cost is about $200,000 per half mile for the resurfacing project.

“It’s a shame the cost is so high,” Alberts said.

The state funding is part of around $50 million allocated to 37 projects in 28 counties across Wisconsin in the first round of the ARIP distribution recently announced by Gov. Tony Evers.

“By helping ensure our agricultural industries can get product to market and crops or livestock from Point A to Point B and do so safely and efficiently, we’re continuing to support this critical part of our state’s economy and our proud agriculture tradition,” Evers said. “This stuff is as simple as making sure a farmer doesn’t have to drive 20 miles out of the way to avoid an aging road with weight limits – we can help fix that, and that’s what this program is all about.”

Another application period for the remaining $100 million in ARIP funding, which is also part of the 2023-25 biennial state budget, will be open later this summer.

WisDOT will be notifying municipalities regarding the availability of application materials, the schedule of informational continued on page 10

Bumper Crop of Cherries for Seaquist Orchards Mother Nature did take a toll on some

by BETSY LECY pulseintern@ppulse.com

C

herry season is coming to a close and despite Mother Nature’s attempts to damage yields, Seaquist Orchards – the peninsula’s largest producer of tart cherries – is projecting a 30% increase in yield over 2023.

Jim Seaquist, a partner at the orchard, said they’re approaching 11 million pounds of tart cherries and estimating to harvest approximately 14 million pounds with a little over a week remaining to finish the harvest.

This is a 14% increase over their previous year.

“It’s probably the biggest crop we’ve had in a long time,” said Seaquist, a fifthgeneration cherry grower.

Their processing plant has to run 24 hours a day with the large crop. Out of their 100 individual orchards, they started at their orchards in Sturgeon Bay and gradually migrated north because the cherries ripen earlier at their southern orchards with warmer temperatures, said Lisa Seaquist, a manager at the orchards, and daughter-in-law of Jim Seaquist.

“We’re having a really nice crop this year,” she said. “It’s a bit larger crop, but it’s going well.”

According to the Department of Agriculture (DOA), Wisconsin tart cherry production totaled 10 million pounds last year. Of that, Jim Seaquist said his orchards harvested around 9.3 million pounds, or 93% of Wisconsin’s total production. That’s not unusual. Cherry production in Wisconsin is concentrated mainly in Door County, according to the DOA, with traditionally 95% of all tart cherries produced in Wisconsin being grown on the peninsula.

Wisconsin has 180 tart cherry orchards, 27 of those in Door County, according to Greg Bussler, the DOA’s state statistician.

But it’s the aggregate acreage that tells the story. Wisconsin has 1,966 bearing acres of tart cherries, and 1,883 of that aggregate acreage is located in Door County.

However, cherry production has decreased over the past century in Wisconsin. According to a 1940 census from the DOA, there were 17,314 cherry farms reported statewide. By 2022, that number had dwindled to the present 180 orchards, holding steady between 2002 and 2022, according to Bussler.

Lisa Seaquist said they’re trying to help other growers and strengthen the local industry by allowing use of Seaquist production facilities.

BUSINESS briefs DDC LAUNCHES ACCESSIBILITY GRANT Destination Door County (DDC) has announced the launch of a new accessibility Mini-grant Program. awards up to $1,000 are available to any Door County business, nonprofit organization or government entity increasing accessibility to the public.

“Jim [Seaquist] does not want to see cherries go away in Door County,” Lisa Seaquist said.

Mother Nature Not Kind to All Orchards This Year Lautenbach’s Orchard Country Winery and Market in Fish Creek along state Highway 42 attracts approximately 300,000 visitors a year, some of those for the tastings of the wine and cider produced on-site.

Yet the orchard experienced a late cherry harvest due to a mild freeze, a rainy season and a mild winter, said Carrie Lautenbach-Viste, the director of sales and marketing.

The orchard was also hit with a frost on May 8, Lautenbach-Viste said.

The trees that are preparing to blossom go through a water stage where water emerges from the roots below and forces the blossoms out, according to Lautenbach-Viste. She said before this happened, the water froze inside the bud during the frost, damaging the stamen – the pollen-producing part of a flower – and stunting the blossoming and pollination processes.

The orchard lost at least 50% of its cherry yield, she said.

Since Lautenbach’s Orchard is located at the top of the hill on Hwy 42, Lautenbach-Viste said the orchard generally fares better when other growers have a hard freeze, but this year it pushed their harvest season back.

“We left it up to Mother Nature, and like it was this year, it’s just the luck of the draw sometimes,” she said.

Lautenbach-Viste said their sweet cherry crop did have a “beautiful” bloom and pollination.

Mother Nature also brought an onslaught of rain with the harvest season that made Seaquist Orchard’s trees more susceptible to pests and fungi, said Lisa Seaquist.

“Overall, this year, the amount of rain that we got in June caused a lot of trouble,” she said.

The cherries soak in the rain, according to Lautenbach-Viste, causing the cherries to crack and spoil. She said in comparison to years with droughts, the cherries are less concentrated and flavorful because the water dilutes the flavor.

To make their products with a smaller yield this year, Lautenbach-Viste said they rely on overstock in their frozen storage, so they can continue to have a supply of cherries and products.

“We know that even though our crop this year wasn’t the best, we look forward to next year’s season and hopefully it will be much better next year,” Lautenbach-Viste said.

Online applications will be accepted beginning at 8 am on aug. 1 and will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis, assuming all eligibility requirements are met.

Some eligible activities the grant dollars could be used for are accessibility audits, audio description of materials, sign language interpreters, adult changing tables, captioning, sensory or tactile experiences, automatic door openers, ramps, grab bars, or lifts, mobi mats or track chairs.

The application will be open throughout 2024 or until program funds are depleted. New funds will begin in 2025. additional program details and an online application can be found at doorcounty. com/accessibility-grant-application. Contact amanda@doorcounty.com with questions.

s the 2024-25 school year nears, the Gibraltar School Board has made the decision to no longer allow students to bring backpacks into classrooms. In an email sent to parents about the policy change, board members cited safety concerns, space management, health considerations and improved security as the reasons.

On June 3, school board members on the Student Learning Committee met and discussed disallowing backpacks in classrooms, and the school board ultimately decided to accept the committee’s recommendation to add the change to the student handbook for the upcoming school year. Kari Baumann, school board member and chair of the Student Learning Committee, said the conversation began unofficially this past March and was formally put on the docket as part of their June student-learning agenda.

The statement to parents clarifies that students will still be allowed to bring backpacks to school, but will be expected to keep it in their locker and switch materials between classes. This change is accompanied by a roughly one minute extension to the time students pass between class periods.

According to Baumann, teachers had come to the school board with concerns regarding clutter and safety in classrooms – people were tripping over backpacks and teachers could not know what was in a student’s bag.

Some teachers, explained Baumann, had already had no-backpack policies in place for a while for their individual classrooms. She said that these teachers “mentioned to us [the school board] that it would be nice if we could be consistent throughout.”

A Backpack’s Ability to Conceal Also a Consideration Nothing has happened at Gibraltar schools directly pertaining to a backpack, but an incident that happened in March showed the possible dangers that can result when a student has a way to conceal what they’re bringing into the classroom.

On March 15, a 17-year-old student brought a firearm into a classroom that was discovered in the student’s coat pocket, resulting in an arrest and felony charges. No one was hurt, and the now 18-year-old Aidan Rice was found incompetent to stand trial on July 30, with his hearing rescheduled for October after he was ordered to outpatient treatment, according to court documents.

Baumann said the committee had planned to reevaluate backpack policies for a time, and while this incident informed their decisionmaking, it was not the sole reason for the policy change, and neither was it the most prominent one.

“It was a deep discussion, it wasn’t just a one and done,’” she said. “We had talked about this over a numerous amount of meetings and decided that we were going to do what was best for the safety of our kids.”

In addition to safety and space management, Baumann said that other considerations include the weight of backpacks’ impact on student physical health and the distraction of needing to dig through a backpack for certain items.

Other solutions discussed included a size limit on bags or only allowing laptop bags. But rather than having teachers “pull out tape measures to figure out what size is right,” Baumann said the committee thought it easier for everyone to have a set policy across the board.

The statement to parents recognized that, “this change may require some adjustment,” as many students are accustomed to carrying around their backpacks all day. If a student feels like this change is untenable for them, Baumann encouraged them to speak with their administration and principal about possible accommodations.

She also said that this policy will be evaluated in tandem with the ongoing renovations at the Gibraltar School District. As of now, the committee feels the lockers are close enough to the classrooms to facilitate this kind of change. Once completed, some of the new classrooms will be further away from the lockers. At that point the Student Learning Committee plans to discuss if this backpack strategy still works for the new layout and for the teachers.

“We need to make sure all teachers are on board,” Baumann said of any future reevaluations.

Baumann said that she has currently not received a significant amount of feedback from students and parents, but expects to hear a variety of reactions as the school year ramps up.

“I’m hoping that, in the long run, this is something that we as a district and we as a community can understand,” she said. “That we can all understand why we’re doing this for the health and safety of our district, our teachers, and our students, first and foremost.”

Admiring the View from All 50 States

With North Dakota checked off his list, Bret Bicoy has now visited every state in the country. Submitted.

was born in the 50th state, but since then I’ve spent much of my spare time trying to visit the other 49. After a 3,734-mile summer road trip visiting the final four states on my list – South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, and North Dakota – I can finally proclaim that I’ve been to every one of the United States of America.

This summer’s trip was a journey through four of the “reddest” states in the union. Just as when I visited San Francisco, California or went to college around Boston, Massachusetts, there were lots of stereotypes running through my head as to what it would be like.

Yet to my surprise, outside the Muzzleloader Powderhorn Lounge in Montana, there was a giant sign saying “Love is Love” with a transgender pride flag in the background. I encountered a huge “Black Lives Matter” banner a block away from the oldest Mormon Temple in Idaho. I bought some souvenirs from a woman wearing a hijab in South Dakota. At a historical site in North Dakota, one of the docents had rainbow stripes in her hair and a Human Rights Campaign equality pin on her shirt.

Clearly some of my experiences were incongruous with my preconceived notion of who lives in conservative places. Yet when I think back to other recent trips, the same inconsistency held true for bastions of liberalism.

While sitting on a sidewalk café in Madison, I watched a guy with a “Make America Great Again” hat walk into a CBD store. In downtown Chicago, I saw an “America First” flag proudly displayed in a souvenir shop.

When we refer to distant “red” or “blue” states, we consider them homogenous places where everyone holds precisely the same set of values and political beliefs. Yet I have encountered people with so-called “liberal” values in the reddest places and those with “conservative” beliefs in the bluest communities. While the percentages of liberals-to-conservatives dramatically shifts from one region to another, the full spectrum of ideological diversity is on display everywhere in our country. This means when we demonize those on the other side of the political aisle, we aren’t just dehumanizing people far away, we’re also attacking folks who live right down the road from us. We’re degrading our neighbors who love our community just as much as we do.

The Town of Nasewaupee is considering whether to apply for ARIP funding in the second round to improve Idlewild Road from County Road C to Neils Road, with Stantec charging a fixed fee of $3,000 to apply for a 90% grant.

Nasewaupee town chair Steve Sullivan said the town needs to find out how many dollars worth of agricultural products travel on that road to assess whether Nasewaupee would likely receive a grant.

To be eligible for funding, projects need to meet the following criteria:

• The project highway, or the highway where the bridge or culvert is located is functionally classified by WisDOT as a local road or minor collector.

• The highway, bridge, or culvert provides access to agricultural lands or facilities used to produce agricultural goods, including forest products.

• The highway, bridge, or culvert is used by at least one agricultural producer.

• The highway is designated as a class “B” highway due to structural deficiencies or is subject to a posted weight limitation at least annually.

• After the improvement, the highway will not be designated as a class “B” highway and will not be subject to a posted weight limitation other than under extraordinary or emergency circumstances.

HELLERTOON

Consider that women with the rainbow hair and equality pin I encountered in North Dakota, a person who clearly holds some stereotypically “liberal” beliefs.

She enthusiastically talked of the region’s history and proudly loves living there. I’m also sure that somewhere else in our country there is a so-called “conservative” docent equally singing the praises of life in their “blue” state.

Most of us love the place we call home, regardless of whether our personal political views perfectly align with the majority around us. That’s because we as Americans have far more in common than the politicians and pundits would have us believe.

For all the political signs, flags and emblems that we encountered on our travels, by far the most common thing we saw was absolutely no sign at all. It’s true of life here in Door County as well. While it’s hard to miss those few houses with a mass of red or blue signs, what we often neglect to see is that the vast majority of lawns have no sign at all.

Despite what we’re told by Fox News and MSNBC, the overwhelming majority of us don’t define our identity by our political positions. This is not to say policy differences are unimportant or that ideology is irrelevant, it’s that for most folks, love of our family and commitment to our community are far more central to our being.

I’ve always believed that if you’re taking care of your family and helping take care of your community, then you’re doing your part to take care of our country.

That’s what makes a person a good American. We will inevitably disagree on whether one particular policy is better than another, but that’s to be expected. It’s hard enough for my wife and I to agree on what we’re having for dinner tonight so why would I expect and insist that someone across town share exactly the same political views as I do. Yet only when I acknowledge that the other fellow loves his family as much as I love mine, and that he loves Door County the same as I do, can we finally work together to help our community thrive.

letters to the editor Speeding Issues Around Point Beach We’d like to offer congratulations to the driver of the red Volkswagen Rabbit (or similar model) with blue Wisconsin collector plates who was using County “G” as their personal raceway the morning of Friday, July 26 around 7:45 am. You are the lucky winner of that day’s “Kill a Fawn” contest!

We walk our dog through our Point Beach neighborhood each morning and have marveled repeatedly at your ability to drive too fast (yes, we notice which cars are regulars). On the 26th, we saw you tearing down Cty G and I mentioned to my wife how fast you were driving. As you blew past our line of sight, we heard a “thunk” and as we got out to the intersection of G and Green Bay Lane, there lay your trophy, dead as a doornail. You, of course, were nowhere to be seen. Did you even stop to see if the animal could be saved?

This area of G around Point Beach has become a real problem as of late – a little consideration and attention to the speed limit goes a long way. Of course, that’s asking way too much of some folks. Today a fawn – tomorrow a kid?

Thankful for Pride Coverage I would like to publicly thank the Peninsula Pulse for reporting on all the Pride activities and events taking place around the county during the month of June. It was so great to see not only the LGBTQIA+ organizations hosting events but also partnering with other nonprofits within the county as well to recognize Pride Month.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in Door County, it means so much to know that the local newspaper supports us and really makes me feel seen.

My hope is that the younger generations continue to see continued on page 11

Northern Door Industrial Park?

Whether we like it, or not, more people are visiting and moving to northern Door County. Therefore, there is an increased demand for all types of services from northern Door contractors including: carpenters, electricians, roofers, plumbers, landscapers, and HVAC people, etc. In addition, there is demand for car and boat maintenance and repair. Unfortunately, some area contractors report that there just isn’t adequate commercial property for them to expand. They, therefore, have asked the Liberty Grove Town Board to request that the county amend the zoning restrictions on HL-10 zoned property to allow businesses to expand there. Liberty Grove has adopted Door County Comprehensive Zoning, so County approval would be necessary to enact a change. HL-10 zoned property is intended to have parcels with a minimum of 10 acres that, per the ordinance, “provides for residential development at low densities, agricultural uses, and other nonresidential uses that require relatively large land areas and/or which are compatible with the surrounding rural character.” A business owner can already have a business on HL-10 property in Liberty Grove, if they also live on the same site.

This proposed zoning change would impact over 5,000 acres of HL-10 zoned property almost all in Liberty Grove. I don’t think anyone really wants to see commercial buildings potentially sprawling across the beautiful landscape that is Liberty Grove. So, what is a solution? I think a northern Door industrial park may be the answer.

The Town of Liberty Grove owns 47 acres adjoining the town hall on Old Stage Road. The town now uses about 13 acres of this property for town purposes. The vacant balance of the property has frontage on two roads, has been unused for decades and would make a great light industrial park. The site would need to be rezoned, perhaps Mixed Commercial (MC). This would allow for lots as small as one-half acre. Based on preliminary discussions with the county, this change is possible.

Let’s help our contractors and save our beautiful landscape.

As Heartland-10 property owners in Liberty Grove, we have a number of significant concerns regarding the Town of Liberty Grove trying once again to change the zoning to allow Auto Repair or Trade & Contractor businesses in the HL-10 districts. My most significant concern is that I feel it is imperative that all impacted voices are not only heard but have a “vote.”

It is my understanding that there are 740-plus HL-10 owners/lots, but possibly less than 5% are driving this movement. I feel it is incumbent upon the appropriate governing body to at least survey the 740 owners for their input. A decision of this magnitude should require a majority of the owners’ approval.

Personally, we are opposed to any change in HL-10 zoning. We purchased our property precisely because it had that zoning – to ensure the rural, natural landscape would be maintained and protected. We never would have purchased this land otherwise. Allowing an auto repair shop or the like appears to be completely opposite of “intended to help maintain the rural character.”

I firmly believe the potential impact of changing this zoning would be extremely detrimental to Door County.

However, if we find that the majority of HL-10 owners are in favor of this change, we can certainly live with that. My biggest concern is that the impacted property owners currently don’t have a real voice.

We feel the survey is imperative to ensure everyone’s voice is heard. Otherwise, how can a small group of people potentially drive change that impacts so many property owners and the landscape of Door County for years to come?

The Town of Liberty Grove will hold an open forum Aug. 29 at 7 pm at the Liberty Grove Town Hall on this topic. If you have an opinion on HL-10 zoning, please plan to attend.

In addition, this proposed change would also require a public hearing before the Door County Resource Planning Committee. This hearing will likely be held in September, so be on the look-out for the announcement of this meeting date.

Notice of Partisan Primary, Referendum and Special Primary for Partisan Office, and Sample Ballot August 13, 2024

Office of the Door County Clerk To the voters of Door County:

The following is a sample of the official ballots:

Notice is hereby given of a partisan primary and special primary for partisan office to be held in Door County on August 13, 2024, at which the nominees for the offices named below shall be chosen. The names of the candidates for each office, whose nominations have been certified to or filed in this office, are given under the title of the office under the appropriate party, each in its proper column, together with the questions submitted to a vote, if any, in the sample ballot below.

Information to Voters • Upon entering the polling place and before being permitted to vote, a voter shall: • state their name and address • show an acceptable form of photo identification* • sign the poll book** *If a voter does not have acceptable photo identification, the voter may ob*If a voter does not have acceptable photo identification, the voter may obtain a free photo ID for voting from the Division of Motor Vehicles. **If the voter is unable to sign the poll book due to disability, a poll worker may write the word “exempt.”

If a voter is not registered to vote, they may register to vote at the polling place serving their residence if the voter provides proof of residence.

Where ballots are distributed to voters, the initials of two inspectors must appear on the ballot.

Upon being permitted to vote, the voter shall enter a voting booth or go to a machine and cast their ballot. The vote should not be cast in any manner other than specified here. Sample ballots or other materials to assist the voter in marking their ballot may be taken into the booth and copied. The sample ballot shall not be shown to anyone so as to reveal how the ballot is marked.

A voter who is a parent or guardian may be accompanied by the voter’s minor child or minor ward.

An election official may inform the voter of the proper manner for casting a vote but the official may not advise or indicate a particular voting choice.

Assistance for Voting A voter may select an individual to assist in casting their vote if the voter declares to the presiding official that they are unable to read, have difficulty reading, writing, or understanding English, or that due to disability are unable to cast their ballot. The selected individual rendering assistance may not be the voter’s employer or an agent of that employer or an officer or agent of a labor organization which represents the voter.

If a voter is unable to state their name and address, an assistant may also do so for the voter.

At the partisan primary, the voter shall select the party of their choice. Voting for candidates of more than one party may invalidate the ballot. The voter must cast a vote for individual candidates.

Where Optical Scan Voting is used • If a party preference is designated, and votes are cast for ballot candidates of another party or write-in votes are cast in another party, only votes cast in the designated party will count.

• If a party preference is not designated, and votes are cast for candidates (or write-in votes are cast) in more than one party, no votes will be counted Within the party of their choice, the voter shall fill in the oval next to the name of the candidate of their choice for each office for which they intend to vote. To vote for a person whose name does not appear on the ballot, the voter shall write in the name of the person of their choice in the space provided for a write-in vote and fill in the oval next to the writein line. On referendum questions, the voter shall fill in the oval next to “yes” if in favor of the question, or the voter shall fill in the oval next to “no” if opposed to the question.

When using an electronic ballot marking device (ImageCast Evolution (ICE)) to mark an optical scan ballot, the voter shall use the tactile pad to select the party of their choice.

NOTICE OF REFERENDUM ELECTION August 13, 2024 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that at an election to be held in the city, and several towns, villages, wards, and election districts of the County of Door, State of Wisconsin, on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, the following questions will be submitted to a vote of the people pursuant to law: 2023 Assembly Joint Resolution 6 Enrolled Joint Resolution To create section 35 of article IV of the constitution; relating to: the appropriation authority of the legislature and the allocation of moneys Wisconsin receives from the federal government (second consideration).

Whereas, the 2021 legislature in regular session considered a proposed amendment to the constitution in 2021 Senate Joint Resolution 84, which became 2021 Enrolled Joint Resolution 14, and agreed to it by a majority of the members elected to each of the two houses, which proposed amendment reads as follows: SECTION 1. Section 35 of article IV of the constitution is created to read: [Article IV] Section 35 (1) The legislature may not delegate its sole power to determine how moneys shall be appropriated.

(2) The governor may not allocate any federal moneys the governor accepts on behalf of the state without the approval of the legislature by joint resolution or as provided by legislative rule.

SECTION 2. Numbering of new provision. If another constitutional amendment ratified by the people creates the number of any provision created in this joint resolution, the chief of the legislative reference bureau shall determine the sequencing and the numbering of the provisions whose numbers conflict.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the assembly, the senate concurring, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution is agreed to by the 2023 legislature; and, be it further Resolved, That the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution be submitted to a vote of the people at the election to be held on the second Tuesday of August 2024; and, be it further Resolved, That the questions concerning ratification of the foregoing proposed amendment to the constitution be stated on the ballot as follows: QUESTION 1: “Delegation of appropriation power. Shall section 35 (1) of article IV of the constitution be created to provide that the legislature may not delegate its sole power to determine how moneys shall be appropriated?”

QUESTION 2: “Allocation of federal moneys. Shall section 35 (2) of article IV of the constitution be created to prohibit the governor from allocating any federal moneys the governor accepts on behalf of the state without the approval of the legislature by joint resolution or as provided by legislative rule?”

EXPLANATORY STATEMENTS AS TO THE TWO QUESTIONS Explanatory statement regarding Question 1: The Wisconsin Constitution requires the legislature to appropriate funds from the state treasury only by passing a law, which requires a vote by both houses of the legislature. Wis. Const. art. VIII, § 2. Question 1 would add a new provision to say that the legislature cannot delegate this “sole” power to appropriate funds.

A “yes” vote on Question 1 would vote to create a new provision of the Wisconsin Constitution— Wis. Const. art. IV, § 35(1). That provision would prohibit the legislature from delegating its duty that it pass a law in order to appropriate money from the treasury under Wis. Const. art. VIII, § 2.

A “no” vote on Question 1 would vote not to add Wis. Const. art. IV, § 35(1) to the Wisconsin Constitution.

Explanatory statement regarding Question 2: In times when Wisconsin receives undesignated federal funds from the U.S. government, the Wisconsin Constitution does not limit the ability of the governor to choose how the funds he accepts are divided among state and local agencies. Question 2 would add a new provision to the Constitution to prohibit the governor from choosing how to allocate such federal funds he accepts unless the legislature, through a joint resolution or some other process to be developed by the legislature, agrees with the governor’s proposed allocation of those funds.

A “yes” vote on Question 2 would vote to create a second new provision of the Wisconsin Constitution—Wis. Const. art. IV, § 35(2), which would prohibit the governor from choosing how to allocate undesignated federal monies he accepts unless the legislature, by joint resolution or other process, agrees with the governor’s proposed allocation of such funds.

A “no” vote on Question 2 would vote not to add Wis. Const. art. IV § 35(2) to the Wisconsin Constitution.

Done in the City of Sturgeon Bay, County of____________________________ Door, On this 9th day of July, 2024.

Niles Weborg Receives Citation For 65 Years of Service

by BETSY LECY pulseintern@ppulse.com

N

Niles Weborg stands outside the Ephraim Fire House Museum that’s a memorial to his son William “Bill” Weborg who died in the line of duty.

COURTESY OF TAD DUKEHART

))sports

iles Weborg never thought when he married the fire chief’s daughter in 1959 that he would not only inherit his father-in-law’s role within the Ephraim Fire Department, but would still be serving the community 65 years later.

“We were only supposed to live to 65,” Weborg said. “But here we are at 84 and I’m still working.”

For his service, Sen. André Jacque (R-DePere) and Rep. Joel Kitchens (R-Sturgeon Bay) presented Weborg at the fire department, July 31, with a legislative citation noting that he is “a committed public servant who exemplifies the dedication of a selfless first responder.”

Around 30 people attended the ceremony, including members of the fire department he has led and the community he has served for decades.

Weborg spent the first 19 years of his life in Gills Rock working at his family’s commercial fishing business. He then met his future wife, Joan Sohns, in school.

Her father, William Sohns had joined the Ephraim Fire Department and was later named chief of the department in 1957.

Weborg said it felt natural to follow in his father-in-law’s footsteps.

Throughout his 65 years of service, Weborg said the most challenging aspect was the training. For firefighter certification, 240 hours of instruction are required over a five-year period, Weborg said.

Weborg was promoted to assistant fire chief in 1972 and then fire chief in 1981, where he would serve until his retirement

(From left) Sen. André Jacque, Niles Weborg and Rep. Joel Kitchens when Weborg is awarded REMY CARMICHAEL his legislative citation, July 31.

in 2015, said current fire chief, Justin MacDonald. Weborg’s son, William “Bill” Weborg, would serve with his father as assistant fire chief until Sept. 26, 2004, when he died in the line of duty while responding to a reported boat fire.

Bill Weborg had been next in line to serve as chief, and when he passed away, his father stayed on.

The Ephraim Fire House Museum stands as a memorial to the firefighters who have risked their lives, in particular for Bill.

“How do you make sure that we show volunteers that they’re valued,” Jacque said during the ceremony. “It does take a toll when you’re responding to deadly, life-threatening situations that carry a risk that had a terrible price for [Weborg’s] son and family.”

Weborg said the most memorable fire in his tenure was the fire that devastated the Ephraim Inn, Dec. 30, 2013. He said it was significant due to the magnitude of the fire with the flames stretching 20 feet out of the roof of the inn.

“Definitely a disaster,” Weborg said.

“But we saved half of the building.”

The Ephraim Fire Department formed in 1930 as a bucket brigade and over the course of Weborg’s career, he has witnessed a 180-degree advance in equipment and technology – William Sohns’ personal phone was the original fire line, for example.

According to the National Fire Protection Agency, 43% of volunteer firefighters had more than 10 years of active service. Weborg’s tenure spans continued on page 5

Kraus Wins 4th Red Jacket

T

here’s not going to be a lot of variety in Matthew Kraus’s closet, as he’s amassing a wardrobe full of red jackets. Kraus won his fourth Red Putter Pro Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 3, taking home another Red Jacket and the $2,000 grand prize. It was his third straight title.

Kraus topped a field of 84 players from all over the country who came to compete in the three-round

tournament. Kraus scored 32, 36 and 33 for a three-round total of 101, which ties the record for low tournament score.

He also took home the trophy for Best Single Game with his score of 32 in the first round.

After Kraus, there was a three-way tie for second place.

Bryan Akers, Gary Hester and Tim Tally all scored 110 and had to participate in a playoff.

Tim Tally, the 2021 Champion, took second place after nailing

a hole-in-one on the second hole, with a little help from The Log. Akers and Hester continued to battle for the third place trophy, Bryan Akers aced Hole number 4, The Wolf, to edge out Gary Hester.

To enter the tournament and join the Red Putter Pro Board, players had to qualify by scoring under par on the course. Players can now qualify for the 23rd annual tournament, which will be held on Saturday, Aug. 2, 2025.

(From left) The top finishers in the 2024 Red Putter Pro Tournament are: Bryan Akers, 3rd place; Matthew Kraus, 1st place and best single game; Tim Tally, 2nd place. Submitted.

WILLIAM MARTIN OLSEN Dec. 15, 1928 - July 31, 2024 William Martin Olsen, 95 years of Sister Bay, was called home Wednesday afternoon, July 31, 2024 while at Serenity Spring Senior Living.

He was born Dec. 15, 1928 in Racine and adopted by the late Samuel and Mary (Anderson) Olsen. Bill graduated from Waukegan Township High School. On January 11, 1947 he married Bessie “Betsy” W. Scoggin at Immanuel Baptist Church in Waukegan.

Betsy preceded him in death on March 19, 2022.

For 39 years Bill worked at Great Lakes as a glazer and later superintendent of buildings and grounds for Waukegan Schools, North Chicago and Wauconda School districts. Prior to moving to Sister Bay, Bill rehabbed 13 homes in Illinois. He and Betsy were flippers of homes before it was a ‘thing.’ This allowed them to make multiple trips to Europe because they loved to travel.

They moved to Sister Bay in 1991. Bill was a member of First Baptist Church in Sister Bay. His faith and his family were primary in his life. Along with his love of music, he was a good singer. Blessed with excellent hand and eye coordination, Bill was an avid low handicap golfer, 270 average bowler, softball player, and enjoyed hunting and fishing.

Survivors include his two children, Rebecca Weiss of Sister Bay, Barry (Pam) Olsen of Sister Bay; two grandsons, Joshua of Sister Bay, Matthew (Amy) Olsen of Hudson, Wisconsin, and foster granddaughter, Laura (Brian) Wilson of Zanesville, Ohio; three great-grandsons, Daniel, Joseph, and Samuel.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Samuel and Mary Olsen; two brothers, Robert Hoyer, Martin Hoyer; two sisters, Hollis Taylor, Marie Bruce; and son-in-law, Larry Weiss.

A memorial service was held at 2 pm on Wednesday, Aug. 7, 2024 at First Baptist Church in Sister Bay with Rev. Mark Billington officiating. Private burial was at Little Sister Cemetery.

Friends called Wednesday at the church from 1 pm until the time of service.

Memorials in Bill’s memory may be directed to First Baptist Church in Sister Bay. Casperson Funeral Home & Cremation Services in Sister Bay is assisting the Olsen family. Expressions of sympathy, memories, and photos of William may be shared with his family through his tribute page at caspersonfuneralhome.com.

FEATURED PET Meet Rooney, a 3-year-old dog available for adoption at the Wisconsin Humane Society Door County Campus. The 43-pound pup is gorgeous with her brindle coat and sweet brown eyes. Rooney thrives on companionship, so she’s looking for a home where she can copilot adventures and show off her best self.

Like all dogs at WHS, she is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, and she goes home with a starter bag of food and a certificate for a free vet exam. Plus, all dog adoption fees are now 50% off. Visit this lovely girl during adoption hours at the WHS Door County Campus and take her home the very same day.

Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow. What it means to lose you no one will ever know.

MELINDA JANE SHEEHY March 13, 1943 – August 4, 2024 I was born in Louisville, Kentucky to Mary Margaret (Aldridge) Meyer and Dr. Dexter Meyer JR, and died at home in Baileys Harbor. I was proceeded in death by my parents, brother-in-law, Robert Owens, and mother-in-law, Esther B. Sheehy.

I grew up in the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, from the time I was a baby and spent many years attending Madison Ave. Christian Church in Covington, Kentucky. I loved and cherished all of my close friends there.

I attended Dixie Heights High School, Edgewood KY, University of Cincinnati, where I studied Interior Design, and the University of Kentucky, where I studied Fine Arts. I loved painting and it became a rewarding hobby throughout my life.

After graduating from the University of Kentucky, I worked as an Interior Designer in firms in Kentucky and Cincinnati.

While living in Alaska in the late 1960’s I was tasked with becoming a photojournalist for the Anchorage Daily News.

I continued as a freelance photographer for numerous years and continued to love photography long after I was no longer doing it professionally. It was one of those gifts you get in life when you aren’t looking for a gift.

In the late 1970’s, I opened an Interior Design studio in downtown Covington, Kentucky. With the help of dedicated associates and many repeating clients, I practiced there for over 23 years.

On Oct. 31, 1985, I married my wonderful architect husband, soul mate and partner in life, Daniel Robert Sheehy. We were married in Door County on a beautiful rock outcrop on the shores of Lake Michigan.

We pursued our passion for creating and building, after a spur of the moment purchase of an untamed piece of property, in beautiful Baileys Harbor. It has been our joyful place of peace for 38 years.

In 1995, my husband joined the business, and we became an Architecture and Interior Design firm. We moved our business to Ft. Thomas, Kentucky in 2000 and practiced for another 17 years.

I leave behind my wonderful husband, Dan Sheehy, my close knit and beloved siblings, Dexter Meyer, III, Nancy (Steve) Kingsley, Jody Owens (Dennis Helton), my vivacious sister-in-law, Lisa (Jim) Firlan, my cherished nieces and nephews, Cadie (Brennan) Sweeney, Kyle (Josh)Warning, Carrie (Tim) Powers, Sarah Kingsley, and the beautiful incredible, great-nieces and nephews, Mason and Brooklin Sweeney, Kendal and Claire Powers, and Salvatore Nassano.

Dan and I were lucky to have so many incredible, full of love friends and family. Thank you all so much for your kindness’ and caring over the years and especially during this time of life transition. We will never be able to thank you for being such a big and important part of our lives.

As I reflect, I am reminded that the ultimate goal is to celebrate life every day. Embrace those opportunities that fall in your lap and follow them to the fullest and to always smile and laugh. It will make everyone feel better.

A special thanks to the wonderful Unity Hospice team and to Dr. Josh Rebhan, who were here every step of the way with their invaluable care and guidance. Also, to Huehns Funeral Home who were so kind and helpful in making our final plans.

If you are inclined to make a donation, please send to: Madison Ave Christian Church, Covington, KY 41011; The Ridges Sanctuary, Baileys Harbor, WI 54202; or The Peninsula School of Art, Fish Creek, WI 54212.

Loved and deeply missed by daughter Charity, Mom and Dad, Sister Tina and (Brandon), Gage and (Erin), Raven.

Also many friends and family.

CAROL JEAN DUFFIN August 13, 1940 - August 3, 2024 Carol Jean Duffin, nee Mueller, 83, died peacefully at her Door County home on August 3, 2024, surrounded by family.

Carol was born Aug. 13, 1940, to Sylvia Steinmetz Mueller and Willard Gray Mueller in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

In 1962, she met and, three months later, married David Miles Duffin, a large animal veterinarian; they enjoyed nearly thirty years of marriage prior to Dave’s passing in 1992. She is survived by her daughters, all of Sturgeon Bay: Laurel (John) Hauser, Tracy (John) Vreeke, and Jacinda Duffin; and honorary son, Vince (Heidi) Jirik of Green Bay; as well as her sisters-in-law, Carol Mueller, Dorothy Duffin Saylor, and Bonnie Duffin. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Sylvia Hauser, Thomas Hauser (partner Cara Reisen), and Isabel Vreeke (fiancée, Kalea Bicoy); as well as many nieces and nephews. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents; and two siblings, Marion Mueller Boehm and Keith Mueller; niece, Jodyne Reiten; and numerous inlaws.

Carol enjoyed a childhood surrounded by cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. She and her friends had free range of all small-town Chippewa Falls had to offer – biking to the A & W, swimming at Lake Wissota, and exploring Irvine Park. Her first job was at the Chippewa Falls Welcome Center, fitting for a woman who spent a lifetime welcoming people of all ages into her home. Her small-town roots never left her, and many early friends remained friends for life.

An enthusiastic and well-rounded student, Carol was chosen to attend Badger Girls State in Madison, before graduating from Chippewa Falls High School in 1958. She continued her studies at UW-Stout, earning a teaching degree in Home Economics and started her teaching career in Bloomer, Wisconsin. As a married couple, Carol and Dave first lived in Colfax, Wisconsin, where they started a family, forged deep friendships, and enjoyed the antics and camaraderie of a town of 800. They later moved to West De Pere, Wisconsin, where Carol taught high school for more than 30 years. She was a natural teacher, beloved by students and colleagues alike. Mrs. Duffin’s door was always open; she was the teacher who had a dollar if you left your lunch money at home and time to talk if you were carrying a heavy load. She received numerous awards for her professionalism and leadership over her teaching career, but what made her happiest were phone calls from former students, even decades after her retirement, sharing how she had impacted their lives.

Carol saw herself as part of a bigger community, modeling the importance of public service and political involvement all her life. She was a founding member of the first nursery school program in De Pere, was an active Girl Scout leader, and served on the Parents Council at Carroll University, her daughters’ alma mater. She and her husband were involved locally as school board members, volunteers, and active members at the First United Presbyterian Church of De Pere.

In 2001, Carol moved to Sturgeon Bay where she made quick friends and forged close relationships with her Utah Street neighbors. Most importantly, she was a daily presence for her family and the grandchildren she adored.

Carol was fun to be around, kind beyond measure, and her practicality guided her positive outlook. She saw the best in people and had a remarkable capacity for understanding and acceptance. She appreciated that there are many ways to do things in life, unless you were talking about getting cupcakes to rise or properly leveling a cup of flour; some things can only be done one way. She will be greatly missed.

The family wishes to thank Linda Streyle for her care, attention and friendship in Carol’s final months.

A celebration of life will be held at 3:30 pm on Thursday, August 15, 2024, at Sturgeon Bay Moravian Church, 323 S. 5th Ave., followed by a picnic at Otumba Park, 32 N. Joliet Ave., Sturgeon Bay. A visitation prior to the celebration of life service will be held from 2 – 3:30 p.m at the church.

Memorial gifts may be made to Breakthrough T1D (formerly the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation), breakthrought1d.org, or to a charity of your choice.

Arrangements have been entrusted with Huehns Funeral Home in Sturgeon Bay. Expression of sympathy, memories, and photos of Carol may be shared with her family through her tribute page at HuehnsFuneralHome. com.

Oslo the Snowy Owl Passes Away

O

pen Door Bird Sanctuary (ODBS) in Jacksonport announced last week that Oslo the snowy owl passed away Thursday evening, Aug. 1.

Rob Hults, ODBS founder and executive director, announced the news on the organization’s Facebook page.

“With heavy hearts we’re sharing the passing of Oslo, the Snowy Owl,” the post said. “He was recently diagnosed with a rare blood condition. For the past two weeks he had been in the good care of ODBS staff, receiving round-the-clock medication and support care with the guidance of the staff at Gentle Vet, following their diagnosis.”

Though Oslo succumbed to the disease, Hults thanked all those who support ODBS’s mission and for allowing Oslo to receive the best possible care.

“It is a tough loss for all of us, but it is in the nature of what we do here at ODBS – providing care for these wonderful creatures that have already had their life compromised in some way,” the post said. “We will continue to offer future care to many more raptors in need, and will always remember our awesome snowy, Oslo.”

Oslo arrived at ODBS from Wild and Free Wildlife Rehabilitation in Garrison, Minnesota in early 2023.

ODBS received more than 200 submissions in the local contest it hosted to give Oslo his name.

CHRIST CHILD SOCIETY AWARDED $6,000 GRANT The Christ Child Society of Door County received a $6,000 grant on July 30 from the Door County Community Foundation. The grant will support the organization’s Back-To-School Aid and Head Start Reading programs.

New Alzheimer’s research was revealed at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) in Philadelphia, held July 28-Aug. 1.

This research indicated that blood tests for Alzheimer’s diagnoses are approaching 90% accuracy, outperforming both primary care physicians and specialists. These tests could revolutionize early diagnosis, support clinical trial recruitment and accelerate access to treatment, particularly as new therapies target the early symptomatic stages of the disease.

Currently, there is no single test that can determine if a person is living with Alzheimer’s or another dementia; instead, physicians use a variety of tools to make accurate diagnoses.

Other findings discussed at the AAIC indicate that exposure to wildfire smoke significantly increases the risk of dementia diagnosis; that the medication liraglutide can cause a nearly 50% reduction in brain shrinkage in crucial areas; and that processed red meat is linked to an increased dementia risk.

NEW ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH UNVEILED

COURTESY OF TAD DUKEHART

more than six decades, and though he retired as fire chief in 2015, he continues to serve as a volunteer firefighter, responding to calls at all hours of the day.

He said he continues to serve the community because he sees a need for it.

“I definitely believe every fire department needs people like me,” Weborg said. “I’m not going to bow down until I feel I’m no longer needed and I don’t see that coming up.”

Kitchens said two days before the ceremony that it’s unusual to see a person commit their whole life to public service.

“It’s not enough,” Kitchens said about the citation awarded Weborg. “It’s really inadequate for everything that he’s done.”

NTN needs additional office volunteers, as well as volunteers for its medical equipment loan program.

Trusted team. Close to home.

This is a powerful reminder of the importance of effective communication in healthcare and how technology can bridge language barriers to provide compassionate care.

Jorgenson notes, “In the ten years I’ve worked at DCMC, we’ve seen a significant rise in the need for interpreter services. This reflects the growing diversity of our patient population, which includes residents and visitors from around the world.”

Building Language Bridges with MARTTI

Communication is the #1 diagnostic tool for clinicians and the #1 empowerment tool for patients. At Door County Medical Center (DCMC), we’ve embraced MARTTI (My Accessible Real-Time Trusted Interpreter) to ensure that language barriers do not impede the quality of care our patients receive.

She continues, “Implementing on-demand interpreter services has effectively removed language barriers, ensuring that all patients, regardless of their native language, receive safe and effective care. This service has greatly enhanced our ability to communicate clearly with patients, understand their concerns, and provide the appropriate medical attention.”

Jorgenson concludes, “The positive feedback from patients and their families has been overwhelming. MARTTI has improved patient satisfaction and underscored our commitment to providing equitable and accessible healthcare.”

What is MARTTI, and How Does it Work?

MARTTI is an advanced translation service that connects patients to certified medical interpreters through an iPad’s two-way audio and video connection. This HIPAA-approved system provides 24/7, on-demand interpreting in over 250 languages, including sign language. By eliminating communication barriers, MARTTI allows clear and accurate exchanges between patients and healthcare providers.

When patients visit the Emergency Department, Urgent Care, or DirectCare, the first point of contact is responsible for initiating the interpreter call using the MARTTI iPad. This device travels with the patient into the exam room, ensuring continuous communication throughout their visit. For clinic appointments, schedulers use over-the-phone interpreters during the scheduling process. Upon the patient’s arrival, the MARTTI device is brought to them, and the appropriate language is selected on the iPad, facilitating all communication between the clinician and the patient through the interpreter.

Recalibrating Services to Meet Patient Needs Kelly Jorgenson, Director of Primary Care Clinic Services in Sturgeon Bay, explains the need for MARTTI: “Our previous language-line service was not as well-staffed and lacked 24/7 on-demand availability. This made it challenging to provide prompt support for less common languages.” She also points out the difficulties with sign language interpretation: “We had to schedule interpreters from the Fox Valley, which was both time-consuming and inconvenient for patients who needed immediate care.”

To address these challenges, DCMC transitioned to MARTTI, driven by the need for a more efficient and comprehensive language support system that complies with federal regulations for language access services.

Further, the interpreter services are integral to creating various healthcare documents. This includes translating patient education materials, consent forms, and other essential documents into multiple languages.

“We also rely on interpreter services to translate healthcare information from non-English-speaking healthcare organizations into English. This is particularly important when we receive medical records or other pertinent information from international healthcare providers. Accurate translation ensures that our medical staff can fully understand a patient’s medical history and provide appropriate care.”

Primary Care for Long-Term Health

A primary care provider (PCP) is invaluable for maintaining and improving your overall health. One of the most significant benefits is the consistency of care they offer. This consistency allows PCPs to build strong relationships with their patients, understand their medical histories, and provide personalized care suited to individual needs. This ongoing relationship is crucial for managing chronic conditions, preventing diseases, and promoting long-term health.

Preventive Care and Early Detection Preventive care is a cornerstone of primary care services. Regular check-ups and screenings help detect health issues before they become serious problems. Key components of preventive care include: • Immunizations • Blood pressure checks • Cholesterol tests • Cancer screenings “After a certain age human beings should have a regular visit with a healthcare provider as part of health maintenance. There is ample evidence that treatment of chronic medical problems can improve overall function and contribute to longevity. Chronic problems like high blood pressure and diabetes can be treated and improve quality of life and length of life,” shares Richard Hogan, an Internal Medicine doctor that has been with Door County Richard Hogan MD Medical Center for more than 30 years.

Patients at Door County Medical Center can take advantage of our Patient Portal or My DCMC app to stay on top of their health.

These tools provide reminders for scheduling annual physicals or screenings, messaging your PCP, requesting clinic appointments, pre-registering for visits, accessing test results and reports,

The Impact of MARTTI on Patient Care The implementation of MARTTI has significantly improved patient care at DCMC. Jorgenson highlights a particularly impactful example: “I was called to the clinic waiting area to assist a nonEnglish-speaking person who had just walked in.

As I approached, I could see the look of concern on their face, and it was clear they needed help but couldn’t communicate in English. I wasn’t familiar with the language they were speaking, so I quickly grabbed the MARTTI iPad.” She recounts, “The patient pointed to their country of origin on the map, and I selected the corresponding interpreter on the MARTTI device. Within moments, we were connected with a live video interpreter who spoke the patient’s language fluently. The patient’s relief was immediate; they could accurately explain their symptoms and medical history through the interpreter.

This allowed us to complete their registration and ensure the necessary care without further delays.”

Throughout the process, the patient repeatedly expressed gratitude, shaking Jorgenson’s hand and thanking her for helping them navigate what must have been a very stressful situation.

Additionally, users can access Patient Portal support via chat or phone call. These services, in collaboration with your PCP, help promote optimal health by identifying potential issues early, ultimately leading to better health outcomes and an improved quality of life.

Dr. Hogan says, “Checking in with a primary care provider for an annual visit is very important in order to take the best care of ourselves.

As the old saying goes, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’. It is interesting that we would never consider not keeping up on our automobile maintenance, but many people ignore the recommendation for a regular preventative health visit. The annual visit can prevent progression of disease and premature death.”

Coordinated and Holistic Care A primary care provider also plays a vital role in coordinating care, ensuring all aspects of a patient’s health are aligned.

This approach helps avoid duplicative tests and treatments, improving efficiency and reducing healthcare costs.

Additionally, PCPs take a holistic approach to health, considering physical, mental, and social factors. By understanding patients’ lifestyles, stressors, and family dynamics, they can offer more comprehensive and effective care. Trust and open communication between patients and their PCPs further enhance this relationship.

Transitioning to a New PCP If you are new to the area, ensuring a smooth transition from your previous PCP to a new one is essential. Start by requesting your medical records from your previous provider to be shared with your new PCP. This process involves filling out a release of information form, which your new provider can assist with.

It’s important to communicate any ongoing treatments, medications, and health concerns to your new PCP to maintain continuity of care.

Remember, it’s perfectly okay if you try more than one PCP before finding the right fit. Everyone is different, and it’s crucial to find a provider with whom you feel comfortable and confident.

Having a primary care provider facilitates navigation through our healthcare system and ensures that patients receive timely and appropriate care. PCPs advocate for their patients, helping them make informed decisions about their health and connecting them with necessary resources and specialists.

From Dr. Hogan’s perspective, “The human body is the only vessel that we are ever going to have on this planet. I believe that we have a responsibility to take care of it. None of us are going to get out of this alive, but we all would like to be the best we can be while we are here.”

For a list of days and times that vaccines and boosters are available at the Laboratory Drive-Thru visit www.dcmedical.org/medical-services/fluvaccination.

The Laboratory Drive-Thru offers DCMC’s earliest lab appointment times—opening at 6am on weekdays and making it a fast and convenient option for people who need to schedule a lab appointment into their busy day. It’s a convenient alternative for patients who might have children or a pet with them in the car, for anyone with mobility issues or who would rather not brave the elements in the middle of February.

When Visiting the Laboratory Drive-thru Be prepared with access to your “best” arm. Our laboratory team has the equipment to be able to draw whichever arm has the easiest access to your vein and can draw patients from any seat in your vehicle. Also, consider your wardrobe before arriving—wear clothing with either short or loose sleeves that can be rolled up well above the elbow.

For most people the lab drive-thru is a completely safe and efficient option. However, if blood draws make you light-headed or squeamish, or if you have a history of fainting or nausea with a blood draw, please make sure to schedule your draw inside our clinic location so we can give you a little extra TLC. Scheduling an Appointment Scheduling a Laboratory Drive-Thru appointment is just as easy as scheduling labs has been in the past. To ensure that your experience is as fast and seamless as possible: • Schedule your appointment with your patient portal—request the Laboratory DriveThru either through your patient portal or when you call for an appointment.

• Make your appointment at least 2 days in advance so that we can review your orders with your clinician and ensure we have all the test orders that we need. If you have lab orders from a clinician outside of DCMC, please have them fax your orders in advance to 920-746-3660, so we can be prepared when you arrive.

• Use your patient portal to complete registration in advance— register, upload insurance cards, and sign consent forms before your visit.

Schedule your Laboratory Drive-Thru through the patient portal or schedule an appointment by phone at (920) 743-5566. The Laboratory Drive-Thru is located at 319 S. 18th Avenue, at the entrance to Door County Medical Center’s Sturgeon Bay campus.

Drive-thru hours are Monday–Friday, 6am to 2pm, and Saturday, 7am to 11am.

Employee Spotlight: Mike Jarman – Digital Marketing Designer

I joined the DCMC Marketing team in 2019 taking on the role of Digital Marketing Designer. It’s a role that I absolutely love since no two days are the same. One day you may find me updating content on the DCMC website or working on digital or print ads, and the next day creating new signage or patient support materials. Our team works closely with all areas of the hospital identifying marketing-related needs they have and how our team can help address those needs.

Door County Medical Center Laboratory Drive-Thru provides all patients over the age of 10 with an easy way to: • Get blood drawn—the Laboratory Drive-Thru will be able to perform the same blood draws, for the same panels and tests, as the main hospital lab.

• Get urine tests—the Drive-Thru will provide patients with a collection kit to take home. Patients can return to the drive through later to drop their specimen off, or bring it the next time they come into the clinic for an appointment.

One Long Road Trip DOOR COUNTY LEAGUE

Egg Harbor’s Riley Spetz (right) dives back to first base July 1, 2022, to beat the pick-off KEVIN BONESKE throw to Baileys Harbor’s Cooper Cole (00). FILE

by HERB GOULD

A

nd the award for “Most Miles Traveled to Play in the Door County League’’ goes to… Egg Harbor shortstop Riley Spetz.

It is a 4,675-mile trek from Dutch Harbor in Unalaska, Alaska, to Egg Harbor.

But that’s not a deal-breaker for Spetz, 32, who went to Sevastopol High School and played at Wisconsin-Stevens Point before heading north to Alaska.

“My mom and dad lived out there in the 90s when I was born,’’ he said. “So I lived there until I was three. And then when I got out of college I was kind of just looking for something new. I tell people I went there thinking I’d be there for two years. And I still tell people I’ll be there for two years.’’

Spetz, who has taught third grade in Unalaska for eight years, was just named elementary-school principal by the Unalaska City School District. He also coaches the boys and girls high-school basketball teams. Dutch Harbor isn’t merely in Alaska. It’s near the far end of the Aleutian Islands.

“Are you familiar with that show Deadliest Catch, the crab fishing show on Discovery Channel?” Spetz said.

“It’s just kind of dynamic as a place. We

own a house, and we’re a really good community. We really like it. But it’s nice to come back.

“I do miss baseball, man. You can ask my wife [Jill]. I’m in the living room swinging a bat almost every day.’’

Also taking a Road Less Traveled, in a way, is the entire Egg Harbor team. A perennial power, the Indians have won seven of the last 15 Door County League titles, one more than Sister Bay. This year, though, the Indians dropped to 5-6 after a discouraging 13-1 loss at Sister Bay that left them dueling Washington Island for the fourth and final playoff berth.

“If you look at the books, for the last 15, 16 years, it’s been us and [Sister Bay],’’ said infielder Eric DeJardine, a business banker at Nicolet Bank. “We won it in 18, 19, and 20. We’ve kind of fallen off a little bit lately. I think that’s just us getting a little bit older.’’

The Indians’ hitting is still formidable.

Although DeJardine is 41, he was tied for the home-run lead, with four, with four games to go in the season. And Nick Kita (.375, seventh) and Cory Fuller (.350, 10th) still were among the league’s top 10 hitters.

Kita won the batting title last season with a .500 average, notching 25 hits in

50 at-bats. And Fuller (.480, 24 for 50) missed tying him by one base-hit.

“One bad week or one good week can raise or lower your batting average by 50 points,’’ said Kita, a big key to what remains a very solid core at Egg Harbor.

“He’s always been a good ballplayer,’’ DeJardine said of Kita, 28, who works in maintenance at Sturgeon Bay High School. “He’s smart. He knows the game.

He was a really good hitter in college at Ripon. It’s hard to find guys like that.’’

Kita, an infielder, and his brother, Brady, the Indians’ catcher, who will be a senior at Gibraltar this fall, also have big hearts. A few tough-to-handle pitches in the loss at Sister Bay left Brady banging his mask on the plate.

And Nick, who has a 20-month-old daughter, still finds time to help coach at Gibraltar, where his father, Jay, the manager of the Piggly Wiggly in Sister Bay, has been head coach for nearly three decades.

“My family all played at Egg Harbor,’’ Nick Kita said. “My dad played at Egg Harbor, my grandpa, all my uncles. That’s the neat part about the league. All the guys that we’re playing with right now are the kids who my dad played with. It’s a generational thing.’’

But it’s no coincidence that the league’s top three teams have the league’s top three pitchers – Jeremiah Jahnke

(Maplewood), Jake Schneider (Kolberg) and Sam Forkert (Sister Bay). And the Indians, like most teams, could use more pitching depth.

Losing is never fun. And given Egg Harbor’s rich tradition, this has been a challenging season for manager Matt Ash. At 39, Ash, the materials manager at Hatco, a restaurant equipment supplier in Sturgeon Bay, no longer leads with his own stellar bat.

But Ash is quietly doing the right things, the things that good managers do from the National League to the Door County League. On the way to their game at Sister Bay, Ash and some of his players played a round of miniature golf, a nice team-building respite.

His roster also includes young players like Connor Miller, 13, who’ll be in eighth grade at Sevastopol this fall, and Charlie Reinhardt, 14, who will be a freshman at Gibraltar. They’re improving their skills for their youth-baseball teams, which should make them better Door County League players down the road.

“It’s just fun to hang out with the guys and go to practices and maybe get in at the end of the game,’’ Charlie said. His cousin, Trevor, is the Shohei Ohtani of the Door County League. A former Pitcher of the Year, he’s not pitching this year while rehabbing from surgery. But he was batting a league-leading .500 with four games to go.

Spetz’s annual return to Door County is a reunion as well as a chance to play baseball – especially when Egg Harbor faces Sister Bay. “I played with a good chunk of these guys,’’ he said. “Tom [Sawyer] and Griffin [Cole] and [Sam] Forkert. But Stewart Larsen was one of the main reasons that I went to Stevens Point. His mom was one of my teachers at Sevastopol. And she was always talking about Stevens Point.

And when I went on a visit there, Stewie just happened to be there. And he gave me the insider tour.’’

With friendships like that, it’s understandable that Spetz wouldn’t let 4,675 miles deter him from playing ball in a league of friends.

Longtime Chicago Sun-Times sportswriter Herb Gould is the author of The Run Don’t Count, his historical novel about the 1908 Chicago Cubs. He lives in Sister Bay.

DOOR COUNTY LEAGUE

Week 13 Results Kolberg 3, West Jacksonport 1 Egg Harbor 15, Institute 5 Maplewood 9, Sister Bay 4 Washington Island 15, Baileys Harbor 3

Down to the Wire

by JASON ANNIS-WILD

J

acksonport and Baileys Harbor were eliminated over the weekend, leaving five teams to fight it out for the four playoff spots.

Fourth place could end up coming down to a win-and-you’re-in game between Washington Island and Egg Harbor. More importantly, there could be a winner-take-all championship game as well between Kolberg and Sister Bay. Ah, but Maplewood could find themselves in that mix as well. Should be an exciting final week.

The 3-1 week for the Swami has him sitting at 39-13 for the season.

Let’s look at the week 14 games.

Egg Harbor (6-7) @ Baileys Harbor (4-9) FRIDAY NIGHT Going 1-5 in the second half would typically mean your year is coming to an end, but with the win last Sunday and a win here the Indians are at worst in a playoff for fourth.

Brady Kita was the star Sunday against the Cubs as he had four hits. Cory Fuller and Eric Dejardine had two hits a piece while starting pitcher Joe Sawyer connected on a home run.

The A’s have won four times as many games this season as they did in the previous three seasons combined, so things are definitely looking up in Baileys Harbor.

Sunday, they ran into a desperate Island team at home and it did not end well.

River Pawelski has been a bright spot this season and had another three hits in the game. Aaron Brey chipped in two. The A’s could easily

knock Egg Harbor out of the playoffs, and that would be a great way to end the season for the A’s.

Swami: Indians Kolberg (11-2) @ Maplewood (10-3) The Braves got a little help from the Mets last week and now must beat their southern rivals to have a shot at a potential playoff game or outright title. They only mustered six hits on the day against the Ports, led by Jack Peterson with two. Jake Schneider went eight strong innings, striking out 10.

Maplewood came home with a big win over Sister Bay, where Mark Villers hit a 3-run home run and Adam Gutschow hit a grand slam to shut the door on the Bays. Jeremiah Jahnke pitched seven strong innings, giving up three runs.

I would bet my house that the Mets all week will be chomping at the bit to knock the Braves out of first, and they typically steal one from them every year.

Swami: Braves Sister Bay (11-2) @ West Jacksonport (4-9) The Bays were knocked around by the Mets on Sunday and find themselves in a tie for first that could end up being a three-way tie.

Griffin Cole did most of the Bays’ damage on Sunday with a three-run home run, but it wasn’t enough.

Even though the Ports have played most teams tough this year, their record doesn’t show it. Sunday, they held the potent Braves to just six hits, but could only muster six of their own. Luke Steebs had half

Standings Sister Bay, 11-2 Kolberg, 11-2 Maplewood, 10-3 Egg Harbor, 6-7 Washington Island, 6-7 Baileys Harbor, 4-9 West Jacksonport, 4-9 Institute, 0-13 Schedule Friday, August 9 @ 7:30 pm Egg Harbor @ Baileys Harbor Sunday, August 11 @ 1:30 pm Institute @ Washington Island Sister Bay @West Jacksonport Kolberg @ Maplewood

of those hits and pitched well along with CJ Goetz.

The Ports’ season ends after this game, and they would love to go out on a high note. Sister Bay has not been playing well as of late, and they will need to regroup for this one.

Swami: Bays Institute (0-13) @ Washington Island (6-7) The Cubs most likely will finish the season winless. However, they at times have played well enough to beat most teams. Quinn Schram and Will Hartmann had two hits against Egg Harbor, but they just haven’t hit consistently this year to overcome their pitching problems.

The Island rocked the A’s on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. Caleb Cornell led the way with three hits. Luke Geiger and Matt Foss had two a piece as well in an eleven-hit attack. The Islanders will know before the game even starts what the next week might look like. They must first take care of business, though, and they will.

Making Time Last

W

e’re

suddenly nearing the end of summer. I wonder why time, an odd force that governs our lives, seems to speed up as we grow older. As years go by, the long, leisurely days of childhood and carefree moments of young adulthood quickly transform into faraway memories.

There are reasons why this happens and ways to slow the ticking clock. The feeling that time accelerates with age is influenced by several factors, such as the predictability of our routines and the way we store our memories.

As we age, our lives become more structured. While routines provide stability, they can also make time fly by because we’re doing fewer new, exciting things.

Our memory plays tricks on us, too, making significant events from the past feel recent. This compresses recent memories, contributing to the illusion that time is racing.

Neuroscientific research also hints at the brain’s involvement in shaping our perception of time.

The brain houses an internal clock responsible for regulating our daily rhythms. With age, this clock might lose some of its precision, creating a gap between our internal sense of time and reality.

In addition, neurological changes that come with age can influence how we form and retain memories, which can in turn impact how we experience time.

Though we can’t stop the relentless flow of time, we can embrace practices that enrich our experience of it.

One such practice is introducing novelty into your life. While routines offer comfort, it’s important to break free from them occasionally.

Engage in new hobbies, try new foods, explore unfamiliar places and pursue novel experiences that’ll create lasting memories. Doing mentally challenging tasks and gaining new knowledge can also offer fulfillment and a feeling of time well-spent.

Secondly – and perhaps most importantly – practicing mindfulness can help us cherish time’s passing. Here’s how to do it: • Be here and now. Focus on what’s happening right now, not what already passed or what might come later. Feel the warmth of the sun, enjoy the taste of your food and notice the beauty around you.

• Take deep breaths. Breathe in and out slowly, paying attention to the feeling of each breath, especially when you feel stressed.

• Ignore distractions. Turn off your phone and other distractions sometimes. Spend quiet moments alone to think or meditate.

• Use your senses. Pay attention to what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Take mindful walks and notice everything around you.

• Don’t judge yourself. When you have negative thoughts or feelings, don’t judge them. Just observe them, let them pass, then focus on the present again.

• Be thankful. Gratitude is essential. Take time every day to think about what you’re thankful for, big or small.

• Be mindful in daily activities.

Lean into daily tasks like eating, cleaning or spending time with loved ones, treating them as opportunities rather than just chores.

• Practice regularly. Flex your mindfulness muscles every day.

Mindfulness is a skill that improves through practice.

Although time’s passage may remain mysterious, we have the power to make every moment meaningful. By embracing novelty, living mindfully, nurturing gratitude and staying active, you’ll discover that time becomes more abundant and life feels richer. Life’s value lies not in our number of years, but in our connection to the present.

The livestock auction at the Door County Fair Plus: a complete schedule of events to plan your Fair-time fun

by BETSY LECY pulseintern@ppulse.com

R

ides, games, entertainment and food fill the days of the Door County Fair, Aug. 14-18, but it’s also where farm-to-table food production is practiced and taken seriously.

Youth exhibitors who have raised animals for meat will see that hard work come to fruition during the live auction for animals. Organized by the nonprofit Door County Quality Market Animal Sale, the auction will take place Aug. 17 at 6 pm.

The auction is separated into two categories: small animals with turkeys, chickens and rabbits, and large animals with swine, lambs or steers.

The kids raise the livestock throughout its lifespan.

The beef cattle are the most time-consuming animals to raise due to their size, said Door County Fair secretary Hilary Heard.

hen you think of gravity-defying fun, you might think of skydiving, paragliding, bungee jumping or trampoline-ing.

You might not be familiar with one new addition to this list: eFoiling. The silent sport involves flying over the water on a futuristic-looking contraption called an eFoil – a cross between a surfboard and a jet-ski.

To entertain my inner adrenaline junkie, I joined Lakeshore Adventures last week for a 90-minute eFoil electric surfboard lesson with instructors Namara and Matt Spalding.

Randy Panzer founded the efoiling business, Efoiln, after he took a lesson in Florida and fell in love with the water sport, said Panzer’s daughter, Namara. Now the eFoiling business operates through Lakeshore Adventures, offering lessons with products from Lift Foils.

Efoiln has access to two eFoil boards: the Lift3 F, at a starting cost of about $9,000, and the Lift4, starting at $12,000, Namara said.

We met for class at the Baileys Harbor Town Marina beach on a clear morning with equally clear water.

These were ideal conditions for a beginner like myself, but for a pro like Matt, a windy, wavy day is preferable.

Before the class, I strapped on a life jacket and a helmet with a built-in intercom that allowed me to talk to Matt throughout the lesson. This limited any unnecessary shouting and allowed him to easily correct my foot position or balance in real time (as well as hear my occasional screams as I fell off the board.)

A Thresheree Jubilee

V

almy’s annual Thresheree, set for Aug. 16-18 this year, is a weekend full of family fun, including tractor pulls, live music, friendly competition and antique machinery galore.

It’s also a way to learn a bit more about local agricultural history and get younger generations interested in it too. Antique tractors and other old-fashioned farm machinery will be on display throughout the weekend, allowing attendees to get up close and personal with some of the tools that helped shape Wisconsin into what it is today.

The thresheree, which gets its name from a machine called a thresher that separates grain from the plant, celebrated its 40th anniversary last year. Its 41st birthday this year might not sound as noteworthy, but the celebration that comes with it will be just as fun.

The festivities will take place at the Northeastern Wisconsin Antique Power Association grounds, 5005 Country View Road in Valmy.

Admission is free on Friday and $10 the following two days. Kids 12 and under can enter for free. Carry-ins aren’t allowed, but refreshments will be available for purchase.

Farm-to-Table at the Door County Fair continued from page 1 As they care for the livestock, the contestants are required to keep a record book that details the animal’s feed, expenses, drug history and equipment. The record book is judged based on its precision during the auction, Heard said.

Competitors can score points through a quiz bowl, meat evaluation, livestock judging and, finally, its carcass, which displays the nutrition and management practices the exhibitors used when raising their livestock and more.

When the time comes for the auction, the bidding is based on the market value, according to Heard.

“So if it’s 78 cents a pound for the pork at that moment, the live animal would start at 78 cents a pound and the bidders would go from there,” she said.

Buyers who participated in the auction last year raised $110,000 in sales. The meat went to individuals and companies including Econo Foods, CVF Dairy, Door Karma Farms and Sister Bay Piggly Wiggly.

The purpose of the event is to allow kids to tackle an agribusiness project, Heard said. She raised livestock when she was a child and said it was similar to learning how to run a business.

“It’s a lot of life skills,” Heard said. “Just the discipline that these kids learn from raising their own livestock is priceless in the real world.”

The auction is just one of many festivities at the Door County Fair.

With music, live entertainment, rides, games, funnel cakes and other fried goodies, there’s a little something for everyone.

Use the following schedule as your guide for Fair-time fun. The Door County Fairgrounds are located at John Miles County Park, 916 North 14th Ave.

ometimes, it’s necessary to stop for a quick espresso during early-morning drives on state Highway 57. You might get distracted by the lakeside view inside A Little Bit of Coffee and want to stay for their homemade goodies, including strata, quiches, scones and muffins. In the likely case that you love the scenery a little too much, the seasonal café, located at 6332 Hwy 57 in Jacksonport, is open for empanadas and sunset views in the evening.

What’s the Vibe: With a wooden interior adorned with sailing flags and expansive windows that overlook Lake Michigan, you might feel as if you’re sitting in a yacht club while sipping your morning cappuccino. If you’re craving a latte in the sun, a spacious porch and a beachfront trail that allows visitors to sit and enjoy the gentle breeze or dip their toes in the sand, then this is the cafe for you.

Touch-Me-Not Plants

by CHARLOTTE LUKES

S

taghorn sumac plants, seen commonly on the roadsides, are in fruit now with their deep-red, upright “bobs.”

That’s a term I first heard Roy mention 50 years ago. It wasn’t until now that I realized this species is dioecious (dye-EEshus), meaning there are separate male and female plants. Some staghorn sumacs never produce the clusters of white flowers that later develop into the red fruit.

There are poison sumacs in Wisconsin, but none have been recorded in Door County as of writing this article.

Poison sumacs are woody shrubs that grow in swampy areas in scattered parts of northeast Wisconsin as well as other areas in the state.

Sumacs can either be shrubs or small trees up to 30 feet tall. They have pinnate leaves, meaning they are divided into leaflets, giving the leaf a feathery appearance. Each leaf can have seven to 13 pointed leaflets.

Poison sumac has smooth stems and even-edged leaflets. Our staghorn sumac has distinctly-toothed leaflets and stems covered with many fine hairs, like a male deer’s antlers before the velvet is rubbed off.

You may have heard of poison oak. That plant is native to the southeastern U.S. and the far west, rarely growing this far north. A friend of mine walked down a coastal slope on a trip to California, right through a stand of poison oak. He developed a severe rash on his arms and legs and only then realized what he had walked through.

Poison ivy is a native plant that grows throughout Wisconsin. It prefers open, sunny areas and can become invasive in areas where the ground was disturbed or where logging occurred.

I recently walked on Europe Bay Road to hike part of the Hotz Trail with Beth Bartoli, Newport State Park’s naturalist.

There’s a solid bank of poison ivy along the north side of the road, encouraged by the sun exposure.

Beth told me that some people walk along there with flip-flops on bare feet, walking over the plants without realizing what they are.

These poisonous plants contain a chemical called urushiol (ehROO-shee-ol), which causes skin irritation in humans. Not everyone is susceptible to the substance, but those who are seem to get more severe rashes with each encounter.

I was also given a remote controller to adjust the speed of the 5-foot, battery-powered board. It can go as fast as 30 miles per hour – I capped my maximum speed at 8 with the remote – and its battery can last 90-150 minutes, Namara said.

After a brief tutorial on how to get onto the board, Matt and I took to the water with our boards floating by our sides.

My board came with a Blowfish inflatable, a tube that fits on the outer rim. The accessory stabilizes the board and prevents its nose from diving below the surface of the water, Namara said. That way, I could practice my form on the board more easily.

Throughout the lesson, Matt guided me through the foundational skills; I started off on my stomach and slowly graduated to balancing and standing up.

After some time gliding on the water without an ungraceful fall, I thought I had mastered the art of eFoiling. Then Matt suggested that I begin foiling – which was what I thought I was doing so confidently before.

Foiling required me to gradually take weight off my front foot and transfer it to the rear of the board, allowing the front end to rise and lift from the water, in seeming defiance of gravity.

The precarious task involved finding just the right amount of pressure on each end of the board to keep it floating above the water. I could only manage for a few seconds at a time. When I did strike the right balance though, it was an amazing sensation. I was quite literally floating on the water.

By the end of the class – at least five falls later – I was fixated on this water toy. EFoiling may seem daunting, but I found it to be a great way to cool off, make your quad muscles burn and scratch your adrenaline itch.

WILD THINGS

A Great Summer of Fishing on the Bay

G

reen Bay’s diverse sport fishery has been operating at a high level this summer, attracting large numbers of anglers from both shore and boat.

While boaters have the edge because they can hunt down new spots until they find an active school, shore anglers are also cashing in on the action.

A resurgence in the bay’s yellow-perch fishery is luring many anglers to docks and boats in the Sturgeon Bay to Little Sturgeon stretch. Minnows, worms and crawler pieces are most anglers’ baits of choice when fishing just out of reach of the abundant, bottom-cruising round gobies. Some smaller pockets of water where boats moor in bays and harbors are also giving up rock bass, bluegills and pumpkinseeds, along with an occasional crappie.

Smallmouth bass have moved a bit deeper now, but they’re still going for plastics, crankbaits and live bait.

Pike and walleyes are available, too.

The walleyes are doing so well on their own that stocking, which began in the early 1970s, was discontinued in Green Bay and the Fox River in 1984, and in the Sturgeon Bay area in 2012. That’s according to Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries biologist Jason Breeggemann and fisheries technician Steve Surendonk.

A healthy population of walleyes in the bay and its tributaries has led to annual catches that in recent years have surpassed 300,000 fish. Spring surveys often find walleyes measuring about 13 inches to 31 inches, while fall surveys often find them measuring 6 to 28 inches.

Increasing harvests have resulted in some anglers sharing their concerns about the sustainability of the fishery. To get a better understanding of angler exploitation, the DNR has implemented a large tagging study, which will run for several years.

Meanwhile, spotted muskies are doing well too. Spring surveys in the Fox River show males averaging 43-44 inches and females 50-51 inches.

The DNR, in cooperation with a number of musky clubs, initiated a Great Lakes spotted muskie reintroduction program in 1989. Since then, the agency has stocked more than 225,000 muskies in Green Bay (including Sawyer Harbor and Little Sturgeon Bay) and major tributaries. Creel surveys estimate an annual catch of about 1,750 muskies per year, almost all of which are released.

Mountain Bike Trails At Wednesday’s state Natural Resources Board meeting, the board acknowledged the donation of purpose-built mountain bike trails valued at $650,000 from the Friends of Peninsula State Park. The money will be used to construct approximately nine new miles of mountain bike trails for park visitors.

Last year, the Friends group raised funds to hire a professional mountain bike trail-planning consultant to develop the trail system plan. It was done in consultation with property staff. Phase two is expected to occur in 2025 or 2026.

The existing off-road trails used now by mountain-bike riders are winter cross-country ski trails that are wide and generally flat, which isn’t desirable for mountain bikers. There are currently no purpose-built mountain bike trails on public lands in Door County.

Future trail locations will be determined after an evaluation of the ecologically-sensitive areas of the park.

The trails will follow industry design standards with 18to 48-inch-wide trails that meander through the forest, utilizing available land with desirable topography in a way that’s designed to minimize erosion.

History’s Mysteries Linger on the Links Bertschinger family finds drawings from ‘Point Beach Golf Course’

by CRAIG STERRETT sterrettc64@gmail.com

P

eninsula State Park Golf Course went through a well-publicized redesign about 60 years ago with the help of Lawrence Packard, a top Midwestern course

designer.

But architects received so little recognition in the early and middle parts of the 20th century that it’s tough to track down the original designs or redesigns of some historic courses, such as the one at the Alpine resort.

Several golf websites – and online “stories” driven by artificial intelligence – erroneously state Plans for the Point Beach development show the 1920s configuration of the nine-hole Point Beach Golf Course that later that Fritz Schaller designed the course at Alpine became part of the Alpine resort. Submitted.

Resort in 1925.

Schaller was born decades after that. He actually designed the former Blue Nine that opened at the Egg Harbor hotel. His work resulted in the scenic dogleg-left par-four hole that serves as No. 17 and the clifftop tee shot on the finishing hole that leads back to the clubhouse at Alpine.

Even former owner Bill Bertschinger, 96, doesn’t know who designed the original nine holes on the Alpine property, although a Golf Atlas (golfclubatlas.com) article suggests that a pro by the last name of Carberry played a role.

Bertschinger also doesn’t have the blueprints to document the name or names of the designers who helped expand the Alpine to 18 holes in the late 1940s. The former owner helped build the Alpine clubhouse after returning from military service in the 1950s, and his father and uncle ran the resort and course until he took over operations in the latter part of the 20th century.

The Bertschingers and Alpine Resort didn’t build the original course, either, Bill Bertschinger said.

According to him, Orrin Glidden, the developer of Glidden Drive, also played a hand in developing the neighborhood and course in the 1920s. He later sold it to the Bertschinger brothers, Paul and John, when he was “on the rocks” during the Great Depression. Bertschinger said his father and uncle treated Glidden fairly and paid “probably twice what Glidden would have taken for the course.”

This drawing of Point Beach shows how different the golf course Alpine’s course originated as Point Beach Golf looked almost a century ago. Submitted.

The original ninth fairway occupied part of what Bertschinger recalled a one-room clubhouse/cabin served as a driving range in the late 1900s and early situated near Horseshoe Bay Road more than 400 2000s. yards away from the present-day clubhouse.

The newspaper didn’t specify the designer that started near the old White Nine’s eighth green.

Home is Where the Art Is Oil painter Marc Anderson settles down in Sturge

by TOM GROENFELDT

L

andscape painter Marc Anderson moved from Milwaukee to Sturgeon Bay last year, and he’s not looking back. Though he had some artist friends in Milwaukee, he never felt the sense of community he now feels amongst Door County artists.

“It’s different up here,” Anderson said. “I’m right next door to Stephanie [Trenchard] and Jeremy [Popelka], and I’ve got Margaret [Lockwood] across the street. I had nothing like that in Milwaukee. Sturgeon Bay just had the art crawl, so I was going to their meetings and meeting everyone. I’ve met more artists in a short time than I ever did in five years living in Milwaukee.”

After purchasing a former chiropractor’s office, Anderson and his wife, Anna, spent months working on the interior to create a home, studio and gallery in the middle of the city’s Steel Bridge Creative District. The end result is M Anderson Gallery, located at 44 S. 2nd Ave.

“Out Like a Lamb” by Marc Anderson. Submitted.

Home is Where the Art Is continued from page 1 Having a home gallery allows for personal interactions with collectors, which Anderson appreciates.

“If someone comes in here, they’re coming here to see me and my work,” he said. “It’s not market research, but that instant feedback is really helpful, either seeing what they’re responding to or just hearing positive comments.”

In addition to making connections close to his Sturgeon Bay home, Anderson got involved in one of the county’s biggest art events; he was one of the featured artists in Peninsula School of Art’s Door County Plein Air Festival.

“When we decided we were moving up here, I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about doing the Plein Air [Festival], or if they would even want me now that I’m a local,” he said. “But I’ll keep doing that show as long as they’ll have me because they do such a good job and I get to paint with all my friends.”

In addition to participating in the local plein-air fest, Anderson enjoys similar events around the country.

“The constraints of a plein-air event sometimes force you to paint something you otherwise might not, maybe

something a little more technically difficult, something just expanding the bounds of what I have done as a painter,” he said. “If I’m just left to my own devices in the studio, I might be painting Cave Point for the 10th time.”

One such painting is on display in Edgewood Orchards’ current show, on display through Aug. 25. The striking work depicts an isolated tree at Cave Point, seen from above through light fog – a fresh view of one of the most painted and photographed spots in Door County.

Light is central to Anderson’s plein-air paintings.

Whether he’s working on an overcast day or a sunny one, he looks for interesting ways the light touches his subjects.

“Light hits a barn and then you’ll get reflected light bouncing up into the shadows, creating a wide variety of colors,” Anderson said. “I find it’s capturing that which I find really appealing. The subject matter’s almost secondary.”

But with some subjects, like old fishing boats, it’s the surface of the object itself that catches Anderson’s eye. Rusty, discolored hulls are more interesting than the sleek new cruisers he sees at Sturgeon Bay marinas because their colors and textures are more nuanced.

Anderson likes to paint from 8 am to 11 am and 2 pm to 6 pm. He used to prioritize sunrise and sunset paintings, but has since realized his preference for mid-

morning light. What that type of lighting lacks in drama, it makes up for in consistency, allowing the artist to focus more on the colors he’s seeing.

“With sunrise and sunset [light], it changes so quickly,” Anderson said. “You just can’t capture everything in that amount of time, unless you’re coming back for multiple sessions.”

He mainly works in oils, partly because their slower drying time allows him to more easily make changes to his work.

“If you don’t like a brush mark that you’ve put down, you just scrape it off and go again,” Anderson said. You can’t do that with watercolor or acrylic.”

That’s an asset when you’re working quickly, as plein-air artists must. Anderson studied illustration and graphic design at University of Wisconsin-Stout, where he learned to come up with designs and execute them fast. That skill translated well to plein-air painting, where the artist has a four-hour window to paint a scene before the light changes too much.

Anderson occasionally does commissions, but most of his work is just that – his work.

“I’m no longer working for art directors – I’m doing exactly what I want to do,” he said. “So creatively, this is much more rewarding.”

Million Dollar Quartet An iconic Sun Records jam session inspired this musical

by AUDRA BAAKARI BOYLE Business manager, Peninsula Players Theatre

O

n Dec. 4, 1956, four pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll had an impromptu jam session at Sun Record Company in Memphis, Tennessee. Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley were in the same room, singing the gospel songs they learned as children and a few pop tunes with the man who kick-started their careers and rock ‘n’ roll, Sam Phillips.

Peninsula Players Theatre’s production of the awardwinning musical Million Dollar Quartet takes audiences back to that night, allowing them to glimpse these four young artists on the cusp of becoming musical legends.

Phillips worked as a disc jockey and radio engineer at WLAY in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in the 1940s. This station had an “open format” that played music by both black and white artists, which influenced his work when he moved to Memphis. In 1950, Phillips opened the Memphis Recording Service, where artists such as B.B. King and Junior Parker made their first recordings.

Phillips started his own label, Sun Record Company, in 1952. Over its 16-year history, it produced 226 singles and more rock ‘n’ roll records than any other label of its time. Memphis, in the early 1950s, was home to a very diverse culture of music, from blues and gospel to country and boogie swing. Phillips gained the reputation of treating local artists respectfully and honestly in a non-critical, spontaneous environment that invited creativity. The music Phillips recorded reflects the diversity of America as it reached across races, age and gender boundaries.

“The Killer” Jerry Lee Lewis, “The King of Rockabilly” Carl Perkins, “The King” Elvis Presley and “The Man in Black” Johnny Cash, all grew and blossomed under Phillips’s tutelage and encouragement. All four were untrained, but natural musicians who shared a southern, rural and poverty-stricken upbringing. They absorbed gospel music as well as honky-tonk, rhythm-and-blues and Grand Ole Opry artists. They paid attention to the stage presence of tent revival preachers, sneaked into

local clubs, and listened to musicians of various backgrounds.

Presley was born in a two-room shack in Tupelo, Mississippi, and though he wanted a bicycle for his 11th birthday, his mother got him a more affordable guitar. Louisiana-born Lewis’ bootlegging father mortgaged their home to buy his 9-year(From left) Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash at Sun Records’ old a piano after seeing studio on Dec. 6, 1956.

Presley recorded his first song, a birthday gift to Perkins’ “Blue Suede Shoes” is among the “500 Songs his mother, at Sun Records. After some coaching from That Shaped Rock ‘n’ Roll” and as Paul McCartney Phillips, Sun released Presley’s first single, “That’s All said, “If there were no Carl Perkins, there would be no Right,” and its B-side, “Blue Moon of Kentucky.” Carl Beatles.”

Twisters a Worthwhile Summer Blockbuster

by MIKE ORLOCK mjorlock@gmail.com

U

niversal Studios marketing execs assure us, the movie-going public, that their new summer blockbuster Twisters (PG-13) is not a “remake” or a “reboot.” Rather, it’s a “standalone sequel” to the 1996 film Twister, which sucked up half a billion dollars at the box office and delivered some of the most memorable weather movie memories since Dorothy found herself lifted off to Oz. I am not sure why the distinction is necessary; maybe it has something to do with profit-sharing among the original production team, which included Steven Spielberg. Still, adding an “S” to the title was a stroke of genius. We know before the lights dim exactly what we’re going to get: more tornadoes, doing more of what tornadoes do.

We also get a whole new cast of characters with no relation to anybody from the first film – no grandson or daughter or brother-in-law looking to carry on the family tradition of racing recklessly into a tornado instead of away from it. That’s not to say that this new slate, featuring some of the most attractive actors working these days, doesn’t bear a remarkable similarity to the lineup that included Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton, Jami Gertz, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Cary Elwes.

It’s as if the writers, Mark L. Smith and Joseph Kosinski, reshuffled the deck of personality types and realigned their relationships. We’re still in Oklahoma.

We’re still watching the sky for dark clouds and anything that might come crashing down from them, like a semi truck or a tractor combine. There are just different people in the pickup.

This new iteration, call it what you will, stars Daisy Edgar-Jones (Kya in Where the Crawdads Sing) as Kate Carter, who bears some resemblance to Helen Hunt’s Jo from the first film. She’s a meteorologist personally obsessed with cracking the code of violent weather.

A close encounter with an F-5 (the most powerful storm on the scale) in the film’s prologue leads to Kate working in the relative tranquility of the National Weather Service offices in New York City five years later.

That’s until circumstances lure her back to the windswept prairies of her childhood – “circumstances” being an old colleague Javi (Anthony Ramos), the only other survivor of her team. He unexpectedly shows up in Manhattan with an idea that only Kate can bring to fruition, if she’ll give him a week.

Javi has moved on from “Dorothy” (the gizmo that Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton were tinkering with in Twister) to high-tech 3D radar imaging.

He thinks it’ll revolutionize the art of predicting and tracking violent weather, potentially saving countless lives. He needs Kate to help with field experiments by using her preternatural knack for finding tornadoes in the drift of dandelion fluff. Little does she know that Javi has other reasons for wanting to predict the paths of violent storms in Oklahoma’s “Tornado Alley.”

Kate’s nerves are jangled when she’s once again in the midst of threatening weather in the field – until she meets “Science Cowboy”/“Texas Tornado Wrangler” Tyler Owens, a man who is to meteorology what Alex Jones is to journalism. He’s played by current Hollywood “it” boy Glen Powell, who’s at least an F-4 on the charm meter.

Tyler’s thing is driving into the vortex of a tornado with his wild bunch of thrill-seeking associates and firing rockets into the funnel in his souped-up truck. It’s made him a YouTube sensation but appalls Kate, until she comes to realize that there’s more to Tyler than juvenile stunts and a thick Texas drawl. Wanna play weatherman and guess which way the winds of romance will gust?

Okay, so plot and character development aren’t the reasons you’re buying a ticket to Twisters. It’s the special effects, specifically the state-of-the-art special weather effects, that $100 million will buy these days, and they are impressive.

Some critics, apparently with higher standards than mine, will tell you they are vastly superior to the ones on display 28 years ago, but I wouldn’t go that far. I thought those flying cows in Twister were pretty cool. What we get here, though, is so convincing it’s scary, so pay attention to the “13” in the rating if you’re considering taking little kids along for the ride. This might keep them – and you by extension – up at night with the first rumbles of thunder in the distance.

One of the more interesting twists of Twisters is its director, Lee Isaac Chung. He’s a Korean-American filmmaker who scored a big indie hit a few years back with Minari, an arthouse sensation that went on to earn multiple Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture and Best Director.

He might seem an odd choice to pilot a $150 million budgeted juggernaut of a movie, but he has a painter’s eye for the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which he put to great use in Minari, his autobiographical memoir of a Korean family looking to make it as farmers in Arkansas. One of the strongest elements in Twisters is the quietest: the cloud formations building on the horizon and the way the wind ripples across wheat fields. Those visuals help make this film an unusual one: a summer blockbuster with a soul. Whether it’s a sequel, a remake, a reboot or some other animal, I’ll leave for you to decide.

Twisters will be in theaters for a while, and if you have an interest, I encourage you to see it on the biggest screen available. Otherwise, you will eventually find it streaming on HBO Max in late November, just in time to add some tornado to your Thanksgiving turkey.

In another lifetime, Mike Orlock wrote film reviews for the Reporter/Progress newspapers in the western suburbs of Chicago. He has also taught high school English, coached basketball and authored three books of poetry. He finished his two-year term as Door County’s poet laureate in early 2023.
