BY PATRICK MARES According to the Oneida Nation, “Pow Wow time is the Native American people’s way of meeting together to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and make new ones.” It’s a way for a scattered people to come together in dance and song and reinforce traditions as old as the land. The upcoming 43rd annual Oneida Pow Wow showcases a heritage often suppressed, but never extinguished, as people of all ages of the Nation and the public come together to celebrate a rich heritage. We asked Lloyd Powlless, chairman for the upcoming ceremony to go into the particulars of the event. SCENE: Do you know how many nations might be present at the Pow Wow? LLOYD: I don’t think I have that at hand. I wouldn’t even guess. They come from all over and it’s different each year. All the dancers, especially if they’re good look at the prize money. They look at if they’ve been there before, what they’ve heard about the Pow-wow, etc. If they were here last year maybe then they want to go to Red Lake Minnesota or Sault St. Marie because they’re kind of the same weekend. So it’s a little different each year, but they come from all over. SCENE: Tell me a little bit more about the dances. LLOYD: Well they’re categorized, not by tribe but by style. There’s traditional dancers, men and women; fancy dancers, men and women; and then there’s jingle dancers, which is a women’s dance and grass dancers, which is a man’s dance. Our own Iroquois style is the smoke dance. So we’ve incorporated that in the last five where that’s a category also. L4 | SceneNewspaper.com | Green Bay • De Pere | May 2015
SCENE: What differentiates each of these dances? LLOYD: Well some of it is age. The fancy dancers are a little more athletic. The grass dancers and the jingle dancers are kind of medium. And the traditional dancers are usually kind of the older dancers. They’re a little bit slower. Their outfits are all different. Usually you can tell what type of dancing they’ll be doing by the outfits that they wear. The traditional dancers typically have a single, usually eagle feather bustle they wear on their back. It’s a large circular outfit. Anything after that is up to them. Their bead-work is usually different, from their own tribe or things that they’ve bought, had their family make for them or what have you. The fancy dancers have double bustles. And they’re much more ornate, colorful. Grass dancers have almost like a shredded outfit, so what they wear kind of looks like the grass. And it’s a different style of dancing. Jingle dancers are a woman’s dance. It’s actually a healing dance. And they have little cones, metal cones, all over that jingle [as] they dance. So that’s what that name came from. So once you look at the outfits and each dance you get to see the difference between each dancer. SCENE: What else can we expect from the Pow Wow? LLOYD: There are several components. One is all the singing by the drums that come in from differnt parts of the country. [The singers] just go from drum to drum and they’re judged on some of the contest songs and some of the inter-tribal songs. Inter-tribal songs are just for open dancing. You don’t have to have an outfit or anything. And those kind of give a break between the various conContinue on Page L6

COVER STORY // POW WOW TIME
Continued from Page L4 tests. Those are available to anybody, even non-Indians, anybody who wants to come out and dance. There’s an announcer that explains most of those things. When there’s an inter-tribal song they explain it’s a chance for everyone to come out and dance, and when there’s a contest song they explain that it’s just for those in that category. SCENE: And then there’s the food. LLOYD: Fry bread is the most famous. People like to come just for that sometimes, but there are all kinds of food available. And the arts and crafts areas where all the native arts and crafts are sold. Some of the vendors make the products that they sell. Other times they get them from their community. They buy stuff from their community for resale when they go to the Pow Wow. So it’s a little bit different for each one. SCENE: Last year you honored the death of a prominent community voice. What is the message for the Pow Wow this year? LLOYD: This will be the 43rd annual [Oneida Pow Wow]. Our theme for this year is the Oneida Code Talkers during World War Two. The Navajo Code Talkers are more famous but there’s a lot of other tribes that were code talkers. So we’re recognizing all of our Oneida Code Talkers at this Pow-Wow. They never cracked any of them; that’s why they used native languages, but the Navajos are more famous Code Talkers. And there are probably a lot more of them. But there are several other tribes. I think the Sioux, the Oneida, and other Tribes all had Code Talkers. If you had two from that tribe, of course then they could converse and give information in their language.

BY PATRICK K. MARES S.I.L. Waterfront Restaurant is so well tucked away on 1212 Marine Street that it’s easy to miss. But the eatery next to Zeller’s Ski and Sports feels like the sort of place you’d like to brag about finding to your foodie friends. S.I.L. which stands for Such is Life, is owned Walter Melgar, a Salvadoran-American by way of L.A. He also runs the kitchen, featuring a rotating stable of deeply hispanic influenced dishes from around the world. The way he rolls his d’s on the roof of his mouth and lapses into the spanish names as he talks about food, implies a deep familiarity with those culinary traditions. Walter and S.I.L. manager Stephanie Puta sat down with us to talk about how they came to bring a piece of the wider Americas to a little place on the Fox River. Walter: Our goal is to cook with local ingredients, work with farms that grow vegetables and different items around the area during summer time. Wintertime [other than] meats, eggs, it’s really hard. But fresh. Keep it simple, fresh and elegant; even going to the farmer’s market and checking it out. I’ll say, “we’ll make
this the special today. This fish looks really great, this fruit looks really good.” So that kind of stuff. That’s the whole goal. We’re a little more towards mediterranean right now. But our goal is [to change that] that every four months, every season. Because everything is different. Different vegetables are good every four months, so swap it a little bit. You know, make plates from Brazil, Argentina… Something to keep customers interested. On weekends, [we] run specials. We’re flying in the seafood from Hawaii, Alaska, different areas. They catch it today and we get it tomorrow. Stephanie: We do a buffet brunch every Sunday from like 10 to 2 a.m. Walter: It’s in small batches. We don’t cook a lot of stuff. We just cook so we can keep it fresh. We have a station where you get to come in and make your omelet. There’s also a champagne brunch, but in addition to that we also have what we call Paco’s breakfast. And this is a Mexican breakfast. We do a Mexican sauce. It’s one sauce, but it’s authentic Mexican sauce, how they make it down in Mexico. It could be a red sauce, Continue on Page L9

FOOD & DRINK // BREWMASTER
Goldilock’s Revenge BY STEVE LONSWAY Typically when our team samples beer to write this fine article, we go out and purchase the beer or look at our in-house stock and find one that jumps out at us. We do this so that you, the consumer is able to understand what drove us to the particular brewery or style. It may be a really catchy name or an eye-grabbing label, or one that we saw advertised in our beer magazines that piqued our interests. Well, this sample is a bit different. This month’s beer was sent to us from O’so Brewing Company of Plover, Wisconsin. Because this beer “arrived” at our place, we chose to take a different approach to the tasting portion. We did not read the label (other than the name) and did zero research on it prior to pouring it. Here is what we found when we tasted a 750 ml bottle of Goldilock’s Revenge. With a name such as Goldilock’s Revenge, we all assumed a golden colored beer. We quickly realized that was not the case. This beer poured very dark, darkas-night dark actually, with an appealing creamy brown head, and great foam stability. With a look at the label we see that this is a Smoked Imperial Stout aged in used oak brandy barrels. The label depicts Goldilock’s sporting an angry smile while she holds up a decapitated stuffed bear’s head in a revengeful manner. Very fitting for what’s inside. We used standard 4 ounce straight sided glasses for the sampling and allowed the beer to warm up to about 50 degrees. Our team differed on the nose of this sample. Three of us indicated a light or nondescript nose with faint smells of cedar. The other three (including myself) sensed a nice complexity of raisins, tobacco, chocolate, currant, coffee and a pleasant smokiness. I personally think R2 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
that the nose showcased all components of the beer; smoke, Stout malts, brandy, fruit and wood. Very impressive thus far! The flavor profile is quite a bit more complex than its nose. The smokiness is obvious as well as the roasted malt characters and the assertive bitterness from the hops. The flavors
Goldilock’s Revenge should age quite well with the many layers blending together, and even better over time as long as the area it is stored in remains dark and on the cool side. Now let’s discuss the fine folks that are behind this beautiful brew. Marc and Katina Buttera began their life together in school and
leeched from the wood barrel certainly has brandy notes paired with tart cherry, ash and bakers chocolate. The higher alcohol content has a warming sensation as it slides so blissfully down your throat. As this beer finishes, the oakiness, and fruit really jump out. The body is medium and it finishes roasty and dry with the alcohol showing presence once again with its warming capabilities. Definitely not harsh or astringent, just very pleasurable.
started a family earlier than most. At age 19 they moved with their son Dylan to Stevens Point to attend Midstate Technical College and enjoy the birth of another child Daniel. Marc graduated in Mechanical Design and Katina in accounting. As if they weren’t busy enough, Marc also started home brewing with guidance from a neighbor. Marc’s profession sent the family to Tennessee, but the beauty we all know as
‘Wisconsin’ drew them back. While they continued to play the corporate game, they began moonlighting by opening a home brew store called Point Brew Supply. After outgrowing the 200 square feet of their original shop, they moved to another location in Point. Their hard work and devotion continued on a successful path and in 2007 moved the home brew store to Plover, Wisconsin and added O’so Brewing Company to the mix. Again growth continued and another move was imminent, this time to Village Park in Plover. This allowed Marc and Katina to expand their brewery operations and their home brew store, but also allowed them to add a Tap Room. Their Tap Room is a must-visit to experience the many fine beers they brew as well as a nice variety of guest beers brewed by other Wisconsin breweries. O’so brewing has always done a wonderful job with their beers, but what stands out the most is their commitment to the brewing industry. As we at Stone Arch were working diligently on our laboratory, many (and I mean many) questions continued to surface. After a quick conversation with Marc, Stone Arch Head Brewer Connor was invited to Plover to work side-by-side with his Quality Control Manager to learn the art of laboratory procedures. As if that wasn’t nice enough, Marc also sent Connor back with invaluable documents to help our laboratory get jump started, and instituted almost immediately upon return. For that we have deep gratitude for Marc and his lovely wife Katina. FINAL WORD: Support really good people that brew really good beer….support O’so Brewing Company! Goldilock’s Revenge is a beer that you will not want to pass up. Whether you age it, or consume it right away, you are truly in for a treat. Cheers!

Rabbit with Dijon Sauce
(Adapted from Bistro Cooking by Patricia Wells) Serves four Cooking time: 1 ½ - 2 hours, mostly unattended This simple braise showcases the flavor and versatility of domestic rabbit meat and is easily made at home on a lovely, lazy day.
Ingredients:
Year of the
Rabbit
BY BONNI MILLER Backyard chickens? Sure. But today’s homesteading buzz is all about the backyard rabbit. Rabbits grow quickly, using proportionately a fraction of the water and other environmental resources of larger animals. They are easily housed and handled, and are an excellent and prolific source of uber-healthy protein. Unlike chickens, they’re very quiet. And these small, famously amorous animals are a very big idea in sustainable agriculture. An indication of rabbit’s trendiness surfaced not long ago in an unlikely place. Referencing its relatively tiny ecological footprint, a recent article in Vogue magazine touted rabbit as the next “ethical meat.” And rabbits are indeed low impact livestock with plenty of merit. One female rabbit can easily produce 75 to 100 pounds of meat a year. And a handful of breeding rabbits could fill most of the protein needs for an average family in a space barely larger than a dog kennel, if raised conventionally (in cages), and with quality feed pellets. Many new rabbit farmers prefer to pasture graze their animals, though, just as many large-animal graziers do. Even then, a space no bigger than an average backyard can provide enough “pasture” for several rabbits, if managed properly. Rabbits raised on pasture tend to grow somewhat more slowly than conventionally raised rabbits, but they develop a better nutritional profile. “When you start thinking about where your food comes from,” rabbit farmer Tommy Enright said “given the choice between animals raised indoors in cages and on concrete, or animals raised out on grassy pasture, why would I support the former?” Enright and his wife, Samantha raise the Silver Fox breed of rabbits at their Black Rabbit Farm in Amherst. Silver Fox are a rare and historic breed that fell out of favor with rabbit raisR4 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
ers in recent decades, but like other heritage livestock breeds have seen a resurgence of popularity in recent years. In a time when people are increasingly conscious of their food decisions, raising an at-risk animal such as Silver Fox or American Blue rabbits, and increasing the diversity of our food supply, has become part of a larger, more ecologically responsible mindset. Historically, rabbits have been an essential player in the quest for self-sufficiency. During WWII, both in the U.S, and abroad, too, rabbit raising was encouraged by governments as an easy way for families to contribute to national security. Adding to their appeal, rabbits present exceptional value beyond their meat. Not only is their fur warm and soft, but the manure of rabbits is an outstanding garden fertilizer. Hence, rabbits can feed the garden, and the trimmings from a rabbit-fed garden can go back to feed the rabbits. It’s a beautiful efficiency. Culinarily, rabbit meat is often compared to chicken or turkey. It takes well to all flavor profiles, and can be used interchangeably in any recipe normally used for chicken. It’s even leaner than chicken breast, with more protein than beef. It’s high in vitamins B12 and E, and those wonderful omega-3 fatty acids. It’s easily digestible and a great choice for the elderly and those recovering from injury. Trendsetting chefs across the country are embracing the growing popularity of rabbit meat, featuring delicious rabbit pates, confits, and braises on their menus. Take note that commercially raised rabbit that’s offered in grocery stores is often meat that’s been raised in China and shipped overseas. It pays to seek out a local farmer to buy it directly from them or their market outlets if you want a fresh and superior product. When preparing rabbit, keep in mind that it’s very lean and be careful not to overcook it, or it could end up a bit dry. Again, it’s comparable to chicken breast. Cook it fast and hot, or low and slow, for best results. Bon appetit!
Loins and hind legs from two rabbits (reserve the rest of the rabbit for stock) ½ cup dijon mustard Salt and freshly ground black pepper 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 tablespoon butter 1 bottle of dry white wine 2 medium onions, finely chopped 1 tablespoon flour Several branches of fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon of dried thyme 1 bay leaf Chopped fresh parsley
Tools: a pastry brush, parchment or waxed paper to set the raw rabbit on while it marinates, a large heavy non-reactive skillet (preferably stainless steel or enameled cast-iron), tongs, platter About an hour before you intend to cook the rabbit, lay the cuts out on the parchment or waxed paper and paint with dijon mustard using a pastry brush or your fingers. Season well with salt and pepper and let it come to room temperature. Heat the oil and butter in the skillet and fry the rabbit over medium heat until browned and golden. Do this in batches if need be. Remove the rabbit from the pan to the platter and set aside. Add a few tablespoons of wine to the skillet and deglaze, stirring any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Leaving the liquid and flavorful browned bits in the pan, add the chopped onions and cook until they’re soft and browned at the edges. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the flour. Add the rest of the wine and the herbs and stir to mix. Add all the pieces of rabbit. Bring the liquid just to a boil and immediately lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook slowly, turning the pieces of meat occasionally, until the rabbit is tender and the sauce is reduced and starting to thicken. Arrange the meat on the serving platter, drizzle some of the sauce over top, reserving the rest to serve on the side, and garnish with the parsley.

FOOD & DRINK // FROM THE WINE CAVE
From the Wine Cave BY KIMBERLY FISHER What island are you on? As we come into the summer months, wouldn’t it be amazing to explore the world, take on many adventures and surround yourself with great wine? I can take you there. Though it may be through the exploration of wine growing islands, I will show you the true beauty and define the best varietals in some of the world’s greatest island wine regions. SICILY: After centuries of stagnation, this historical and fascinating island is now one of Italy’s most vital and improved wine regions. Sicily is very hot and irrigation is a necessity for a good half of Sicilian vineyards. There are countless grape varieties grown in different parts of the Island. One of the most iconic producers of the Island is Planeta, which has a winery in all of the Island’s major DOC’s. Planeta has been instrumental in the study of Sicily’s climate, terroir and is a leader in matching varietals to their best growing regions. Marsala is Sicily’s classic fortified wine, produced in both dry and sweet styles from
the Catarratto, Grillo and Inzolia grapes. Some of Sicily’s best wines are made from the indigenous red variety Nero D Avola, and the region’s only DOCG, Cerasuolo di Vittoria, is a blend of Nero D’Avola with Frappato. SARDINIA: This Island off Italy’s west coast produces a relatively high proportion of DOC and DOCG wines when compared to most other regions of the south. One of the most notable grapes grown on the Island is Cannonau di Sardegna. Cannonau is the Sardinian name for Grenache. One leading producer on this Island is Sella and Mosca, and even Dr. Oz agrees about this unique wine having been featured in his magazine with the proclamation to
“Drink Cannonau wine and live past 100.” NEW ZEALAND: One of the most remote wine producing wine regions in the world, his Island nation is a relative newcomer to the global wine industry. Having
limited landmass, its wine production is fairly small, but the country has made a significant name for itself. New
Zealand is comprised of two main Islands. The North Island is warmer and leads in the production of red wines. Hawkes Bay located on the North Island, produces more than 70% of all of New Zealand’s red wines, and the unique soil made of a mix of sedimentary sandstone and gravel allows Bordeaux varietals to grow well. In the South Island, the Marlborough region is now home to nearly 60% of all of New Zealand’s vines. The most explosive growth has been in the planting of Sauvignon Blanc and top producers such as Cloudy Bay, Brancott, and Nobilo have given this region prominence in the production of Pinot Noir and especially Sauvignon Blanc. No matter which Island you chose no matter what adventure you are seeking, worthy Island produced wines are available. This summer go to your own Island and take in the rich history, or get enriched with the newness that it has to offer. Whatever you chose, you will not be disappointed.
Wine before Bedtime
Have you ever finished your dinner, but then found yourself hungry close to bed time? You’re not alone – plenty of us feel the need to snack as the night progresses, and luckily, studies have deduced the perfect nightcap: wine! Recent studies have pointed out that wine can help diabetics, and improve your sex, but apparently, wine is also a great way to prevent midnight munchies. According to Linda Monk, a 47 year-old woman who lost 6 pounds in three weeks, the benefit of having a nightly glass of wine is that the treat suppresses her cravings for unhealthy snacks like “sweets, and chocolate.” Instead, the moderate portion of wine makes her feel sated without going to town on the late night eating. Linda is gleaning advice from Tim Ferriss’s book: The 4-Hour Body. Ferriss champions the theory that if you enjoy a little wine in the evening, you’re more likely to feel satisfied and thus less inclined to give up on dieting. Red wine is supposedly preferable to other snacks. According to The Daily Mail, a study that took place over the course of 13 years at Harvard University found that amongst a group of 20,000 women, those who drank half a bottle of wine a day lessened their risk of obesity. As half a bottle is the equivalent of two glasses, Linda and the other women seem to be living proof of the study. R6 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
40 year-old Samantha Merrit is another woman who sings the praises of nightly wine, claiming “the calories don’t seem to have made an impact on the bathroom scales…Now, I can happily say no to a dessert and I treat myself to a glass or two around four nights a week.” Besides her appetite being satisfied, Merrit also credits the wine with helping her sleep and feeling less anxious. As is always the case, the trick is moderation. While having a glass or two before bed is a good substitute for going crazy on chocolate snacking, drinking too much wine can leave you consuming more calories than a late night binge, and leave you feeling pretty hung over for work. Stick to 1-2 glasses if you want to curb your hunger, sleep better, and feel less deprived. For more, visit vinepair.com

FOOD & DRINK // TRICIA’S TABLE
Fast Eaters Are Mostly Men... BY TRISH DERGE Have you ever had a meal, seated across from your husband or boyfriend, and wonder to yourself, “Does he even taste what he’s eating? How does he manage to inhale all that in such a short span of time? He’s like a young wolf! I’d bet that if I reached my hand across the table in proximity to this gastronomic force of nature, he’d nip off the end of a finger or two and never break mandibular stride.” For those who have observed the sometime unappealing way men consume their food, you may be happy to know that there’s newly discovered science behind why.
Yes, a new experiment conducted by several emaciated researchers at Semyung University in South Korea have confirmed that (fanfare!) men eat their food much faster than women. Guess what they concluded as to why? Men take bigger bites and chew at a faster pace. Stop the presses! Really? Didn’t see that one coming. The team initially set out to study
Eating Dark Chocolate at Work INCREASES Productivity
Finally, some facts to back up what I’ve been claiming forever! If you start feeling soporific at work today, this new study might perk you up. The group of now pimply-faced scientists from Northern Arizona University have conducted a study, and concluded that eating a piece of dark chocolate may activate your brain in a way that helps increase your levels of attention. They enlisted 122 study participants, (why they didn’t call me...I don’t know?) Using electroencephalography (which is a fancy way of saying they attached wires to their 122 heads) they then examined the participants’ brains after eating dark chocolate, as well as checking their blood pressure. They found that the people who consumed the dark chocolate (60 percent cacao) exhibited the signs of alertness and attentiveness, while raising blood pressure for a short period of time. But, they also gave some subjects dark chocolate with an amino acid that’s found in things like green tea...and even though chocolate is a stimulant, the L-theanine amino acid seemed to lower blood pressure and still improve alertness. Conclusion: Dark chocolate is good. Another study they could have simply asked me about, but instead spent oodles of money, expended a lot of time and effort, and never once extended an invitation.

the relationship between “chewing rates and obesity” for the journal Physiology & Behavior. But the results showed a stronger correlation between chewing and gender. Makes sense. They conducted the study by attaching electrodes to the jaw muscles of all 48 participants; 24 men and 24 women. They then measured the speed at which they consumed 152 grams (about a cup and a quarter) of boiled white rice. Though the study group was very small,
the researchers concluded that, “men have significantly different chewing performances compared with women.” The team found that eating behaviors vary “significantly by obesity status,” but the discrepancy was more pronounced between men and women. The team of researchers hope to use these findings to inform gender specific treatments of obesity in the future. They could have saved a lot of time and grant money last November if they’d have only accepted my invitation to Thanksgiving dinner, and focused their study on my brother-in-law Bob.

Everyone loves a good story… summon your own with signed artisan Spiritiles from Koerten’s Fine Framing and Gifts in Stevens Point. Enameled molten glass fired on copper and wrapped around wood. The pieces are hand made using glad frit (crushed or ordered glass) and are made similar to a sand painting. They are then fired in a kiln at high heat to melt the image and adhere it to the metal. Artist Houston Llew designed Spiritiles to be the size and weight of a “good book” because he liked the nostalgic feel of having a book in hand. Each shimmering image is accompanied by a quote on the side. Spiritiles easily wall hang or stand alone. These wonderful artworks will never fade or tarnish and may be enjoyed in sunny or humid spots where other art may not endure. Each is made individually, so no two are exactly the same. $115 each.

Cavern Beat Channels the Beatles BY WILL STAHL If you’re old enough to remember the JFK assassination, you can certainly remember the first arrival of the Beatles in the United States. They were like nothing ever seen here before and their appearance was one of the first signs of the sea change in American culture we think of as the Sixties. Though we had seen rock ‘n’ roll sensations before, not even Elvis provoked the excitement and controversy ignited by the Beatles. They bewildered older adults, annoyed (for awhile) some teen-age boys and generated screaming frenzy in audiences of mostly teenage girls, many of whom were carried away to the point of obsession. The Beatles’ dark-suited, mop-headed look, their catchy romantic songs with tight harmonies and lively beats, and their cleverly humorous remarks to the press gave off an aura of cool that no American band had ever achieved. Though they were only the first wave of the British invasion, they provided the boomer generation with their most indelible musical memories. Their music became the main soundtrack of adolescence in the Sixties, and as we matured, so did the Beatles––their music growing more broadly themed, sophisticated and darker. And as the calendar flipped over into the Seventies, the group finally, and in many minds tragically, unraveled into four quite disparate careers. But the boomers held onto their fondness, reverence almost, for the Beatles and passed their affection on to their children and grandchildren. It’s hard to think of any band or individual singer that has maintained such a broad base of listeners or influenced so many other musicians. In 2003, a drummer, Alan Wagner realized that an audience existed for a truly authentic tribute band and so founded the Cavern Beat, named for the Cavern Club, the basement nightclub in Liverpool, England, from which the Beatles emerged onto the world stage and the important piece of the original band name. To learn about the group and its story, I first looked at their website and videos. Performances of songs such as “If I Fell,” “Eight Days a Week,” “Love Me Do,” and “All My Loving,” seemed convincing recreations of the Beatles sound and look. Then I called Armando Regalado, one of the group’s early members, a co-manager, and the one who takes the Paul McCartney part in singing and playing. I asked first how they had found the people to be the band members. “We were very fortunate that those people came to us,” Regalado said. “It was a gift.” Other members are Jim Irizarry, taking the John Lennon part, and Doug Coutere plays in the George Harrison role. The one who does the drumming only wants to be known as “Eric” since Ringo was mostly just “Ringo,” Regalado told me. Wagner left the group in 2005, R14 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
but the current members have all been together since then. Phil Gawthrop, the other co-manager, is an “authentic Brit,” and has helped them with the accents. Regalado said they play all the same period instruments as the Beatles. They use the same designs and materials for the clothing, including the black Chesterfield suits worn in the early days. When I wondered how they developed a stage presence that so closely echoes the Beatles, Regalado said that he’s asked that a lot. “ Some people study and analyze the movements of the performers. I feel the music and it moves me. We stand on the stage and let the music move us…we look at the old film [of the Beatles], watch it, but we don’t study it closely.” As far as stage positioning: “The Beatles set the standard for the four-piece rock band.” While the groups origins and Regalado’s preferences are in the early “roots” Beatles work, they can do later songs too, depending on what the client wants, out to Abbey Road. Such songs include “Here Comes the Sun,” “Get Back,” and “Hey Jude,” but their repertoire lists many more. They have the uniforms shown on the cover of the Sargent Pepper album, but Regalado cautions that they cannot duplicate the orchestration and sound effects that color many of the songs on that album. Performance of the middle and later period Beatles songs comes with the appropriate changes of costume. In available videos of those songs, Jim Irizarry manages an almost-spooky resemblance to John Lennon with long hair and glasses. The biggest demand is for the early Beatles, and he thinks that’s what they will be doing the most of in Waupun. As to his background and interest, Regalado said, “I was a child of the Seventies and I grew up listening to the Beatles and doing air guitar. I didn’t imagine that someday I’d be doing those songs on stage for real.” Cavern Beat is based in northeast Illinois, with two members living in Chicago and the other two farther out. Regalado lives in rural DeKalb County and has a day job teaching history, philosophy and theology at a Catholic high school in Aurora, Illinois. “Your students think it’s pretty cool when they find out you’re a musician.” The group plays many dates around the Midwest, but they have played all over the United States and in a number of foreign countries, particularly Britain. According to the website, they have played three gigs at the Cavern Club in Liverpool, where the Beatles themselves played more times than anywhere else in the world. The website (cavernbeat.com) has a number of videos showing the group onstage doing Beatles songs from different points in their career. More are on YouTube. If you have even a whiff of nostalgia for the Beatles, I suggest a look. If you have more than a whiff––or simply like authentically done Sixties music––I suggest being at Celebrate Waupun on July 3.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episodes I & II BY JAMES PAGE THEPLAYERSPAGE@YAHOO.COM Game of the Month: Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episodes I & II Developer: SEGA ESRB: Everyone Release Date: 10/12/2010 & 05/15/2012 System: PC/PlayStation 3/Xbox 360/Wii Rating: Graphics: 3.0 out of 4.0 Game Play: 3.0 out of 4.0 Personal: 2.0 out of 2.0 Total Score: 8.0 out of 10.0 Player’s Page: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 When we last left our hero, he had just finished battling the evil Dr. Robotnik above the planet. After successfully defeating his evil foe, Sonic was able to recover the master emerald and save the floating island. With evil out of the way it seems like live can finally return to normal for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles and all of their animal friends. Sonic decides to take a vacation on his own and speeds off to new lands. Sonic eventually finds himself in a nice tropical land near the water. This is the perfect place to relax and unwind after the challenging battles he has overcome in the recent past. However, all is not as it seems and soon Sonic discovers that the animal inhabitants of this idyllic place have been transformed into robots. This is the calling card of the evil Dr. Robotnik and, as improbable as it may seem; the evidence
R16 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
seem clear that the evil genius somehow survived his fall from space and has quickly returned to his evil ways. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 is the direct sequel to the 1994 classic Sonic & Knuckles. The game seeks to return to the series roots by focusing on Sonic, speed, and basic platform game play. In addition to the focus on classic elements the developers also incorporated a number of elements from newer games such as a world map, stage select, and achievements. The developers focused on presenting the game in multiple episodes which could allow them to present different game play elements while allowing each episode to be reminiscent of one of the original games. Each episode contains four zones broken up into three acts and a boss battle with a final showdown zone appearing after the completion of the first four. Episode I mirrors the original Sonic the Hedgehog in many positive and some negative ways. It features Sonic battling through four zones which are essentially updated versions of the zones from the original Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 with elements from each game mixed together. The episode focuses on Sonic and as a result there is no Tails or Knuckles to choose from. This is because the developers had grown tired of the end-
less parade of new characters and they had a desire to return to a more simple time. The abilities of Sonic are similar to those in the original, and as a result the rolling ability that has become familiar to many people is almost nonexistent in this episode. This leaves Sonic’s movements feeling a bit heavy and clunky. As a result, players will have to focus on running and jumping to navigate their way through each act. These restrictions on movement can seem a bit odd but they serve to make the game a truer throwback to the original. Episode II mirrors the second Genesis game, Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Unlike the first episode, the zones in Episode II are essentially combinations of stages from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Sonic & Knuckles, and Sonic CD. This episode features the return of Sonic’s long time partner, Miles “Tails” Prower; as the two friends team up to defeat the evil Dr. Robotnik for yet another time. The episode also reintroduces the spinning and rolling ability that have become familiar to many people, and as a result Episode II has more fluid movement and game play mechanics than Episode I. Both episodes allow the player to collect chaos emeralds by completing special stages. In order to enter a special stage a
player will need to jump through a massive ring at the end of each act which will only reveal itself if the player collects fifty rings and completes the act. Each episode has a different special stage. In Episode I’s special stage, which is similar to the original game; sonic must collect the emerald by dropping through a rotating maze, but unlike the original; the player must contend with a timer. In Episode II’s special stage, which is reminiscent of the second game; Sonic and Tails must collect a set number of rings while running through a chute. Once a player obtains the seven chaos emeralds they will be able to transform into Super Sonic which has become synonymous with the series since the second game. Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episodes I & II are great games which will remind one of playing video games during the early 1990’s. Each episode is a standalone game and one does not have to play Episode I in order to enjoy Episode II. The graphics have been updated to give a 3D feel to the game, but the player will still be reminded of the 2D classics. The stage select feature is a nice addition which allows one to replay favorite stage without needing to replay the entire game. When one starts to play Sonic the Hedgehog 4, they will be amazed at how quickly they are absorbed into the game and how quickly time will fly. Remember, like all games if you play them just to have fun there will never be a bad game. theplayerspage@yahoo.com

ENTERTAINMENT // DOBIE MAXWELL
Pizzapalooza BY DOBIE MAXWELL Is there anybody on this planet currently among the living that doesn’t like pizza? Everybody I know does, but then again I don’t know everybody. I’m sure there are exceptions to everything, but somebody not liking pizza would raise a major red flag – kind of like somebody who doesn’t like sunshine or petting a puppy. Those freaks need to see a doctor while everybody else has fun. While the vast majority of humankind does enjoy the pizza experience as a whole, the problem arises in that very few enjoy it in exactly the same way. There are options galore, and it becomes a challenge to find people who all agree on what and how to place an order at any given instance. I always thought I was pretty middle of the road in my pizza preferences. I prefer a thin crust if possible, and as far as toppings go I’m pretty flexible. Sausage and mushrooms will work nicely if I am sharing it with a group, even though I like a lot of other things on it too. But I can bend. The lesser number of people involved usually increases the possibility of getting the toppings I like. I was never good at math or geometry, but even I can figure out which half is which just by looking. It shouldn’t be all that difficult to please all parties involved, but you don’t live my life. I would like to go on record as officially saying I am sorry for whatever I must have done in a past life to keep getting tortured in this one. I hope I am able to pay my debt to the universe so I can eventually join the ranks of those who live happily and without incident. I’m not there yet. The other night I was asked to go out for pizza with a group. I wouldn’t call them friends, but they were nice enough people and I was flattered to get invited. We were all hungry and went to a pizza joint I’d never been to before. No big deal. It’s not like I was trying a new heart surgeon. There were six of us total, and we sat down at a long table. I could tell there was going to be a problem when the drink orders got complicated. One guy fancied himself a beer genius and had to be informed in detail of every brand the R18 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
place offered and how it would go with each topping. Another guy couldn’t decide what kind of lemonade he wanted, and went through the complete list of every possible mixer from strawberries to iced tea. I was about to suggest strychnine, but it may have started a fight and I didn’t want to have to wait any longer. My stomach was growling. A woman in our party had allergy issues and wanted to know every ingredient of everything up to and including the salt and pepper. I was about to suggest having a pepper mill inserted rectally but again I held my tongue. I didn’t know these people all that well, and didn’t need a skirmish. All I wanted to drink was icy cold water, but I was told they only had bottled water and that it wasn’t free. This was becoming a lot more complicated than I ever expected, but it was only the beginning. Had I known what was ahead I would have excused myself and gone someplace else. Ordering appetizers was next. I’m pretty simple myself; a nice greasy order of garlic bread will usually do the trick quite nicely. If I’m going to overdose on carbs, why not keep it simple? That way the hospital will be able to scrape it out of my aorta with a pipe cleaner so I can start over. Not with this neurotic bunch. One of them wanted to “keep it healthy” and tried to order fried cauliflower without the breading. Clue phone, line one – it’s the Surgeon General. He wants you to ignore the warning on cigarettes and light up at will. One less idiot at a time will help us all. The rest of the crew took a full fifteen minutes to debate the various items available, and after it came to a stalemate I suggested we just suck it up and order the pizza. We’d probably need more than one to feed six people anyway, so we might as well get started on hashing out those details. Everybody looked at me as if I were the leader of the United Nations, but the reason I brought it up was because I was about ready to gnaw my arm off in hunger. I would have gladly eaten an entire order of lead paint chips with asbestos dip had one been placed anywhere close to my seat. The ordering of the actual pizzas
became an emotionally heated event that dwarfed the Israeli Palestinian conflict and made it look like a game of Parcheesi. Speaking of cheese, somebody in the group actually suggested there be a cheeseless pizza. Really? What’s next, a meatless steak? Since there was no hope of everybody agreeing on one kind of pie, I threw conscience to the wind and offered up my favorite ingredients to see how they’d fly with the group. One at a time mushrooms, black olives and onions got both cheered and jeered, but when I dropped the bomb and threw out anchovies the table went silent. It was as if I suggested pork rinds at a bar mitzvah. The woman with the allergy issues nearly fainted, and I thought we were going to have to put a call in for an ambulance. Hey, I wasn’t being unreasonable. I would have taken it on half of one of the pizzas, but that got shot down like a cross eyed crow on the first day of duck season. I was in enemy territory, but I was fully prepared. Those of us who like anchovies are like Navy Seals. There are only a scant few, but we’re proud and vocal. I don’t know why I like anchovies, but I do. Somebody dared me to try them once and I didn’t flinch. Other than the salt drying out all of my inner organs, I thought they were delicious and have loved them ever since. But rarely will I get a chance to enjoy them with others. Such is life. Some people just don’t enjoy true delicacies. After an intense debate we finally agreed on toppings we could all live with. But then came the next hurdle – crust. I grew up in Wisconsin and love thin crust pizza. There wasn’t much choice. Then I moved to Chicago and was force fed their thick crust style they are so proud of. Why they want to eat a cinder block with ketchup smeared on it is still a mystery, but I’ve never enjoyed it. Those are fighting words in Chicago, as are “The Bears still suck.” I’ve been
known to say those a lot more than any smart person should, but I can’t lie about how I feel. The only thing that sucks worse than the Bears in my opinion is deep dish pizza – with the possible exception of toll roads, but that’s another story for another month. Just because I live in Illinois doesn’t make me a F.I.B. The argument raged about whether to order thin crust or thick, and I suggested one of each and thought I had solved the problem. As it turned out, thin crust would take twenty minutes to bake and thick would take six months to a year. Nobody wanted to wait for the other, so we eventually settled on thin. I was losing my appetite to be around this group of imbeciles but I was still ready to eat rat poison to stop the gurgling of my stomach. I just wanted there to be food within reach. Finally after a wait that seemed longer than the Cubs quest to win a World Series, two pizzas showed up. One would think the arguing would be over but one would be WRONG. The server hadn’t even placed the second pizza on the table when someone started whining about the way it was cut. This numbskull was used to it being cut in squares, but it had come sliced “pie style.” We all ate our pizza and went our separate ways. I haven’t seen any of them since. I don’t plan on it, but if I do we’re going to eat anywhere else...how about Kentucky Fried Chicken? Let’s see – is that original recipe or extra crispy?

NEWS & VIEWS // ROHN’S RANTS
When the lie about the Truth becomes the Truth BY ROHN BISHOP Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, a really bad guy. Following a brutal rise to power in 1979, Saddam Hussein would become one of the most evil men on the planet, devastating Iraq and repressing all dissent. Saddam would use chemical weapons against his own people; start an awful war with Iran that would kill hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, before invading the peaceful, oil rich nation of Kuwait in August of 1990. Following the invasion of our a l l y, Pre s i d e n t George Bush declared that, “ This will not stand; this aggression against Kuwait.” The president was not joking. In January of 1991 President Bush lead a coalition of nations to liberate Kuwait and return it to her rightful inhabitants, addressing the American People from the Oval Office, Bush said, “Five months ago Saddam Hussein started this brutal war against Kuwait, tonight the battle is joined.” The mission, known as Operation Desert Storm, was a resounding success. Saddam’s forces were removed from Kuwait by the end of February. “Kuwait is liberated. Iraq’s army is defeated. Our military objectives are met,” said the president, “We declared that the aggression against Kuwait would not stand. And tonight, America and the world have kept their word.” Some have criticized the Bush administration for not invading Iraq and removing R20 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
Saddam Hussein, right then and there, however, President Bush, the coalition, the United Nations, and the Congress authorized a mission to liberate Kuwait, not Iraq. The mission was over, we had won, and Bush brought the troops home. Saddam Hussein remained a bad guy, a really bad guy. Following the war there were uprisings opposing Saddam, all of which ended in the deaths of thousands of Iraqi’s. To make matters worse, our intelligence agencies learned that Saddam’s chemical, biological and nuclear weapons programs were far more advanced than previously known. Throughout the 1990’s Saddam ignored UN resolutions, he would violate no-fly zones that the UN had put in place, he would not disclose his weapons programs, he was a state sponsor of terrorism, and attempted to assassinate former President Bush. Saddam Hussein had become an even more dangerous man. It had become so difficult to deal with Saddam that in 1998 the Congress passed, and President Bill Clinton signed the “Iraq Liberation Act,” making the removal of Saddam Hussein and a democratic Iraq the official policy of the United States. On February 17, 1998 President Clinton said, “…there is clear evidence of weapons of mass destruction program. Iraq admitted, among other things, an offensive biological warfare capability, notably, 5,000 gallons of botulinum, which causes botulism; 2,000 gallons of anthrax; 25 biological-filled Scud warheads; and 157 aerial bombs. And I might say UNSCOM inspectors believe that Iraq has actually greatly understated its production.... Over the past few months, as [the
weapons inspectors] have come closer and closer to rooting out Iraq’s remaining nuclear capacity, Saddam has undertaken yet another gambit to thwart their ambitions by imposing debilitating conditions on the inspectors and declaring key sites which have still not been inspected off limits...Now, let’s imagine the future. What if he fails to comply and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of the sanctions and continue to ignore the solemn commitments that he made? Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And some day, some way, I guarantee you he’ll use the arsenal....” Following the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, America could no longer afford to allow Saddam Hussein to remain in power. The world believed he had weapons of mass destruction, (WMDs). President’s Bush, Clinton, and Bush all believed he had WMDs. In fact, the evidence was so overwhelming, that when President George W. Bush asked congress for permission to remove Saddam, it was an overwhelming bi-partisan vote, passing the Democrat controlled US Senate 77-23. (Democrats voting to remove Saddam included Hillary Clinton, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, and Herb Kohl.) The Iraq War got off to a quick and successful start. Iraq was liberated and Saddam’s government was toppled in short order. Unexpectedly, a brutal insurgency from Al Qaeda was succeeding in Iraq, until Bush instituted the “surge” strategy. The surge worked, Al Qaeda was defeated, Iraq was given back to Iraqi’s, and President Obama inherited a peaceful stable Iraq. Obama, a critic of the war, along with a Democratic Party that, again abandoned a war effort for political purposes. He has squandered this military success, by per-
petrating the lie that, “Bush lied,” or “we rushed to war,” both started as anti-war slogans, repeated by Democrat politicians, liberal media outlets, and never properly responded to by Bush. So much so, that this lie has sunk into the popular culture as “truth.” It’s the lie about the truth that’s become “the truth,” and it helped to turn the American people against the “War on Terror.” This is incredibly dangerous because this “new truth” clouds our judgment as a county. We used the “new truth” as an excuse to elect Barack Obama and abandon our efforts in the Middle East. Liberating Iraqis from Saddam Hussein wasn’t a mistake, electing Barack Obama and quitting on Iraq was. Iraq had a relatively stable pro-America government on Obama’s first day; all he needed was a “status of forces” agreement, easy to do, if he wanted to. But Obama was determined to leave zero American presence in Iraq, and today much of Iraq has fallen to ISIS, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIS would like to use Iraq as a base of operations to launch a new caliphate, and terrorize people into joining the “religion of peace.” While at the same time Iran, also a state sponsor of terror ,negotiates with John Kerry about obtaining nuclear capabilities. Under the leadership of President Obama the Middle East is leading us toward a world war. ISIS beheads Christians, murders gays, treats women as slaves, and threatens the existence of Israel. All made possible because Americans believe a lie about a truth that’s become “the truth.” Rohn W. Bishop is a monthly contributor to the Scene.

Mom and (Me)dia BY TONY PALMERI My dear mom Gertrude “Trudy” Palmeri passed away on May 11, 2015 at the age of 79. She and my Korean War vet dad Frank would have been married 60 years (!) in October. All but the last two years of her life were lived in the borough of Brooklyn, NY. She was an Italian-Catholic Brooklynite in the most honorable sense: heart as big as the borough, fiercely protective of her immediate family, charmingly blunt and witty, and proud of her accent. Oh how I will miss that accent that typically left me feeling nostalgic during our phone conversations; conversations that always started with “yeah Ant, howya doin?” and ended with “alright I’ll letcha’ go, Love you.” (I don’t think my mom ever called me Tony. It was “Ant” from day one). Trudy Palmeri was not an activist in the traditional sense. She did not organize or otherwise participate in rallies, she did not lobby public officials (though she rarely missed voting in elections), and she did not make her political views widely known. And yet there was something remarkably motivational about her. I think it had much to do with the fact that she would much rather “walk the walk” when it came to some core values that the so-called activists love to TALK about. So, for example, for Trudy Palmeri “family values” was more than a bullet point in a Madison Ave. set of talking points constructed for some political phony. For Trudy, family values were a lifestyle of unconditional love for those closest to her. Family values meant being there in body and spirit during the good times and bad, always ready to lend helping hands and supportive hugs. My two brothers and I became respectable members of society by having the good fortune of being in the daily presence of a role model of human decency. The world might be a kinder, more loving place if everyone had the benefit of being raised by someone who walks that walk. If you think about it, a child’s parents are in a real sense the first “media” that she R22 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
or he is exposed to. Scholars traditionally think of mass media as serving four major functions: communicating news, encouraging us to interpret the news in a certain way, communicating lifestyle values, and entertainment. Parents do all of that in ways that leave long lasting impressions on their children. Without exaggeration, I’d say that
we had a conversation that went something like this: Me: “Mom, I know it was exciting and all, but it’s just a game. He probably won’t see your letter anyway.” Mom: (sounding disappointed in my attitude). “No Ant, not just a game. That’s a no-hitter. That’s big. And Righetti is Italian!”
If you think about it, a child’s parents are in a real sense the first “media” that she or he is exposed to. pretty much every value that has guided my life is a direct result of being raised in my parents’ “Palmeri Today” show, which ran 24/7 growing up. Every day on that show the “news” featured acts of gratitude, caregiving, and patience, with an overarching sense of love controlling the scene. When I think of why I ultimately became a teacher, I’m sure it had everything to do with exposure to the Palmeri Today show values. Mom especially went out of her way to keep her own ego in check so as to be in a better position to recognize the accomplishments of others, an approach toward life that all teachers reading this will recognize as key to success in our profession. Here’s an example of how she walked that walk: It was the 4th of July 1983, and young Dave Righetti of the New York Yankees was pitching against the hated Boston Red Sox on an extremely hot 90-plus degree day at Yankee Stadium. Righetti no-hit the Sox that day, striking out the great Wade Boggs to end the game. A no-hitter had not been pitched at Yankee Stadium since Don Larsen hurled a perfect game in the 1956 World Series. The next day I got home from my summer bank teller job and saw mom at the dining room table writing a letter. On the table was the New York Daily News with Righetti on the cover and “A no-Hit Fourth” headline. Mom explained that she was writing Dave Righetti to congratulate him. I remember
Years later she laughed and sounded pleased when I informed her that Dave Righetti was inducted into the National Italian-American Sports Hall of Fame. In my teaching career I’ve always made
it a point to write students brief notes of appreciation when they do something above and beyond required expectations. Each time I’ve done it I’ve had the vision of mom writing that letter to Dave Righetti. In August of 1983 I left New York to go to graduate school. Mom cried like a baby the day I left; she said that what really got the tears flowing was a trinket a friend had given me that said “teacher.” She comforted herself with the belief that I would impress the teachers at Central Michigan University. On May 11 I cried like a baby when mom left. I experience comfort from the belief that when she met the greatest teacher of all in the afterlife, S/HE gave Trudy Palmeri an A+ for a life well lived.

ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH
30 Years of Waterfest! BY JANE SPIETZ The Oshkosh area’s favorite summer concert series, Waterfest, is one of the biggest draws to our Event City. Waterfest has showcased an incredibly wide variety of musical acts over the years, from talented local bands just starting out to the likes of such icons as Alice Cooper. The event had its humble beginnings at the Fox Valley Technical College campus, but the beautiful, spacious Leach Amphitheater overlooking the Fox River is now its permanent home. Waterfest offers music fans quality entertainment at a fraction of the price of admission at other venues, not to mention a great time. With its 30th anniversary upon us, this is Waterfest’s year to really shine! And what better way to kick things off than to connect with the event’s longtime President, Mr. Waterfest himself, Mike Dempsey. Jane Spietz: Mike, what does it mean to you personally that Waterfest is turning 30 this year? Mike Dempsey: We take it one season at a time. Producing these events is gutsy. It probably means we have been as lucky as we have been responsible. To remain relevant to our fans, donors, sponsors and volunteers in an evolving social and competitive environment, is a test. It means we have listened to them and effectively communicated and delivered on our promise. Durability is big. JS: You held a well-attended Waterfest XXX warm-up event at Becket’s on April 2 which featured some favorite Waterfest acts as well as an exhibit of Don Stolley’s historic Waterfest photos. That surely must have generated a great deal of excitement about the coming season. MD: Don’s photo archive is a treasure. It was moving to witness what was a small sample of our history. Becket’s came through with a great sampling of tapas, and Tin Men as well as Paul Sanchez always delight! Fun spring fever night indeed. JS: How did you first become involved? MD: Waterfest started in 1986 as a Free Weekend Music Festival. Then, as now, we celebrate our quality of life here in the greater Fox Valley area by renewing our awareness of our most distinguishable natural resource, our waterways.

MD: We are celebrating 30X30, or 30 bands on our 30th, by offering Waterfest fans $100 Season Passes - a $240 value that gets the holder into all 10 shows at any time and includes access to the Reserved Patio on the three Premium Nights. Fifteen $10 Discount Pass Packs - a $150 value - are also available to mix and match with your friends and family. We have three Community Nights where early birds can get in for just $6! U.S. Veterans and kids under 12 are always free. And for opening night, teachers are free with school ID. It has never been better to be a fan of Waterfest! JS: What other artists are lined up to entertain us? MD: The Fray is a true stadium act with a monster international following. Andy Grammar, who is white hot right now. American Authors and Matt McAndrew (The Voice) are on the three way bill with Andy. The Summer Tour Concert with Smash Mouth, Toad The Wet Sprocket and Tonic is another big night. For the educated and trusting fan, we are blessed to introduce Lake Street Dive, Jakub from Australia and The Glorious Sons from Canada. Cory Chisel’s Soul Obscure is rumored to pack something ultra-special as he teams up with Lake Street Dive. Then there is Todd Rundgren’s Global Tour which is getting stunning reviews from the club circuit spring tour. Chestnuts include Atlanta’s Cigar Store Indians with a legendary foot-stomping dance friendly alt-country/rockabilly/swing set; Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real will be fresh off the Neil Young tour; Miles Nielsen and The Rusted Hearts join forces with the return of The Bo Deans; Rusted Root is always a party. Then is Hair Ball! And the sensational stage antics of Here Come the Mummies. You can’t make them all unless you make opening night on June 18 for our Summer Solstice Party starring Pablo Cruise and Paul Sanchez.

Traveling Suitcase, Salsa Manzoni, The Presidents, Rob Anthony, Kyle Megan and The Monsoons and Sly Joe and The Smooth Operators. Madison’s Steez also appears. JS: How do you balance the requests of Waterfest fans who yearn for newer acts or acts that have never appeared at the Leach, versus those folks who demand the return of the popular favorites? MD: We listen and we respond. We try to look at every recommendation and give it a reality check based on costs, availability, schedule and so on. As with most years, in 2015 we balanced new acts with those returning from more than 1 year ago and acts returning from last season, in equal thirds. We also have three Premium Shows and have invested 50% more in artist fees overall for our 30th Celebration. Admission is a steal. The Leach Amphitheater is best in class. Food and beverage selection and prices are fair. Where else can you go in, buy a heavily subsidized admission, leave to a local bar and come back? Pretty cool! Now about that weather... JS: The Leach Amphitheater is such a fantastic venue for Waterfest and other events that are held there. Are there
any updates that we need to be aware of for 2015? MD: The Riverwalk is humming. Come early and tailgate or walk it. Fun times. The parking lot has been totally resurfaced! It is looking great! JS: What would you like to see take shape at Waterfest in the future? MD: We must have continued fan support for the Premium Shows. Bring your friends. The more we do, the more we can offer. We had great response from them last year and we double downed this year. Come on out! Celebrate 30! Double down! JS: Any final words of wisdom? MD: Take advantage of the Season Pass. The three Premium Show Reserved Patio Access covers the cost alone! Always trust that the show will go on. We have had less than five rain outs in 30 years! Come on down! Keep an extra layer in the car. With reentry allowed, you can always fetch a jacket. Thank the volunteers! It takes 7,500 volunteer hours to make it happen for you! Thank those sponsors and donors. They underwrite $10-15 of each admission! Be nice, have fun, rock on!

Rain Gardens Bottle Gentian
Blue Flag Iris BY ROB ZIMMER Conser ving the precious water resources of our area is important for many who live, work and play here in northeast Wisconsin. There are things that each and every family, business and individual can do to help. One of the simplest and most effective is to install a rain garden on your property. Maybe you’ve heard the term rain gardens before and have wondered exactly what this type of landscaping option is all about. What is a rain garden? Rain gardens are designed specifically using native plants, wildflowers and grasses in such a way as to capture and slowly filter precious rainwater back into our soil, rather than allowing it to run off and collect toxins that flow directly into our streams, lakes and rivers. Rain gardens can be designed and created in a variety of shapes, sizes and forms, all specifically placed to capture run off R28 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
from flat surfaces such as rooftops, driveways, roadways and parking lots. As rain water flows over these surfaces, toxins and chemicals are picked up in the flow, creating a harmful mixture of salt, petroleums, chemical fertilizers, asphalt and other products that flow directly into the storm sewer and into area streams, lakes and rivers. Capturing and slowly filtering this run off in rain gardens allows the natural processes of soil filtration to remove these toxins, allowing clear, fresh water to reach the water table below. The size of a rain garden depends on the amount of area runoff is to be collected from. The larger the area, the larger the garden needs to be in order to fully capture and filter the resulting flow. Why native? Rain gardens are specifically designed using plants native to our area. This includes a combination of grasses, sedges, flowering plants, even small shrubs and trees depending upon the size of the garden.
Native plants are chosen because of their extensive root systems that make them the perfect natural filter. Native plants naturally produce extremely deep and complex root systems, designed to support them through all weather conditions. The root systems on some of our native grasses and forbs may reach 12 to 15 feet deep, allowing for deep penetration and slow, natural filtration of runoff. Rain garden basics Rain gardens are located in areas on properties where water naturally flows or collects. These areas can be expanded, deepened or sloped to maximize potential inflow. Creating a shallow, sloped depression or bowl-shaped hollow, then planting with native wildflowers, grasses, sedges and shrubs, one can easily create an effective and environmentally friendly rain garden quickly and economically. Native plants for rain gardens can be purchased from a variety of sources including many locations here in our area.
Stone Silo Prairie Gardens, De Pere, specializes in native plants, as does the Wild Ones native landscapers organization. Native plants can be found at a number of garden centers throughout the area as well, though selection varies and may be small. What to plant To create your rain garden, there are a number of fantastic plants available that bring beauty, color, texture, as well as the practical filtering function to your plant garden. Native wildflowers such as purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan, cardinal flower, gentian, Joe-pye weed, ironweed, swamp milkweed, wild bergamot and others are great choices for rain garden creations. Native grasses such as little bluestem, big bluestem, prairie dropseed, Indian grass and others make excellent additions as well. For large rain gardens, shrubs such as native red dogwood, yellow dogwood, gray dogwood, ninebark, viburnum, willows and others are great choices to consider.

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION
Summer Dancin’ and Jazzin’ BY GEORGE HALAS Summer’s here and the time is right for dancin’ in the streets. They’ll be dancin’ in Chicago...and in...Neenah! Based on the latest science, The Inquisition calculates that dancing in aisles will be an unavoidable consequence for those who attend the musical, “The Marvelous Wonderettes” at The Jane Bergstrom Fine Arts Theater at St. Mary’s Central in Neenah. “The Marvelous Wonderettes” is self-described as a 1950’s/60’s jukebox musical. It begins at the 1 9 5 8 Sp r i n g f i e l d High School prom and follows four girls with hopes, dreams, and drama through the next decade to their ten year class reunion. Along the way, the girls perform some of the iconic radio hits of the era such as “Lollipop,” “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” “Goodnight Sweetheart,” “Respect,” “Rescue Me,” “Leader of the Pack,” and “Son of a Preacher Man” all sung in four-part harmony. The cast is made up of Crystal Swaim-Vodopija as Cindy Lou, Molly Schlaak as Betty Jean, Kylie Montee as Missy, and Abby Schmidt as Suzy. This will be the Fox Valley premiere of the musical, but it’s the fourth production for the American Soapbox Theatrical (AST), co-founded by Swaim-Vodopija and Sommer Johnson-Loa – who directed “The Marvelous Wonderettes” - in August 2013. Since then they have been seen on TV, heard on the radio, performed in parades and played several stages in the area. Last summer’s production of “Suds: The Rocking 60’s Musical Soap Opera,” was a hit with local critics and successful R30 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
enough to generate momentum for this season. The choreography is handled by Swaim-Vodopija and Schlaak while the music is under the direction of Dorothy Zerbe. Swaim-Vodopija, who also includes AST president in her list of titles, is also a freelance singer, c h o r e o g r a p h e r, and private music teacher in Neenah. She has an interesting resume that includes becoming a Walt Disney World Cast Member, recording an EP at Sun Studio in Memphis and performing at Tootsie’s World Famous Orchid Lounge in Nashville as well as starting and running AST. She has been involved with theatre and music for the last 15 years starting with Theatrix where she was given a start and opportunities to do what she loves. She gets to give back these opportunities to young people in the area by including them in all of the AST shows. Johnson-Loar, also AST vice-president, is a Menasha resident with a love of music and the arts. She was at the helm as director for “Suds: The Rocking 60’s Musical Soap Opera.” She is also a mom, caregiver, and freelance artist. Schmidt is a returning cast member from “Suds” and a music teacher in Winneconne Community School District. “She is our strongest comedienne, Swaim-Vodopija said. “She plays a ditzy blonde – the exact opposite of who she is in real life – it’s perfect casting. She’ll be the show stealer. Montee is a new resident to Oshkosh and an accomplished performer and direc-
tor. “She is the glue that holds all the characters together, but on and off stage,’’ Swaim-Vodopija said. “Her solo alone is worth the price of admission.” “Molly plays the class clown,” Swaim-Vodopija said of Schlaak, who is is from Oshkosh but currently resides in Cederburg where she is a general music teacher. “She provides a lot of unexpected, almost shock humor and she is an incredible vocalist as well.” Show dates include: Thursday, June 18th at 7 PM, Friday, June 19th at 7 PM and two shows Saturday, June 20th at 2 PM and 7 PM. ————————————— If, in addition to dancing, adding “jazzing your pants off” is a desirable option, The Inquisition strongly recommends hitting Cena on College Avenue in Appleton, on Tuesday nights. What is on the schedule from 8 - 11 p.m. is vocalist Christine Granatella with Noah Harmon (keyboards) and The Jazz Orgy which usually includes Michael Underwood playing drums and Andy Mertens playing bass and singing. On any given night, that is more than enough talent and fabulous music. However, on any given Tuesday at Cena, in the cool vibe style one hopes to hit in a jazz venue, many of the top jazz players in the area are dropping by to play unannounced. It’s not an open mic and it’s not a jam per se, but it’s what you hope happens when you go out to hear jazz. Driven in large part by the versatility of the aforementioned rhythm section, a jazz standard that starts out with a Granatella vocal gets a very different treatment every week as different saxophone, trumpet, flugelhorn, trombone, and even violin flavorings mix in, as well as drummers, bass players and keyboards players sittin’ in. The results are often the kind of jazz that happens when very good players have fun responding improvisationally to one another - never the same but always good.
Bartender extraordinaire Brian Leslie improvises like the jazz aficionado he is. Always good. Some of the players who make the scene at Cena start the evening at Frank’s Pizza Palace playing with The Big Band Reunion; during the summer months, the nine-piece version of the BBR, The Bob Levy Little Big Band, takes over on alternate Tuesdays with a couple of special event performances added for good measure. ————————————— If par chance you are in Oshkosh on a Thursday night looking to dance and grab a piece of that synergistic musical vibe, definitely check out the open mic hosted by Ross Catterton at Barley and Hops on Main Street. Catterton, who sings, plays guitar, plays saxophones and tells very good jokes for the most part, is worth a visit by himself, but he typically has Mike Malone, one of the Fox Valley’s best drummers, playing with him. While they are both outstanding jazz players, the open mic aspect results in a myriad of styles including pop rock, R&B, dance, blues, etc. Both play in and/ or with several of the better bands in the area, so, like Cena, the unannounced players make it special every Thursday. Both have excellent sense of performance pace, and are superb at reading the room and delivering just the right touch. The Inquisition also reminds everyone to dance and jazz responsibly as well as to avoid exceeding the fun limit.

NEWS & VIEWS // FLAG DAY
Flag Day Recognized at Lakeside Park The legend is that George Washington, and two other members of the Continental Congress asked Betsy Ross to sew the first American flag sometime in the late spring of 1776. Ross was already a widow in her young 20’s when she was assigned this patriotic task. She completed the flag, arranging thirteen stars in a circle representing the thirteen colonies that fought against the British for self-governance. It was a year later that the Continental Congress adopted the design for the national flag. The first Flag Day was celebrated on its centennial in 1877. In 1916, a grass roots movement resulted in President Woodrow Wilson issuing a proclamation that called for an annual nationwide observance of Flag Day on June 14th. Although Flag Day is still not recognized as a national holiday, it was made a permanent observance by Congress in 1949. Sunday morning at 11am, June 14th you’re invited to Lakeside Park in Fond du Lac for a celebration of patriotism, and remembrance at the flag pole on the corner of Main Street and Promen Drive. The Fond du Lac chapter of the Elks are providing the ceremonial flag for the 2015 National Flag Day, the 240th Army Birthday, and the Navy Reserve Centennial with scheduled aviation support from the Flight For Life. A Fond du Lac Fire Department fire engine and Wisconsin State Patrol motorcycle will serve as static displays as this year’s focus is on public safety for Americans. The theme will be “Honoring those who protect and serve.” Appropriately, law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice will be remembered as they ethically ensured public safety where our U.S. flag represents the freedom and liberties we enjoy. The Son’s of the American Legion Squadron #75 Commander, Mike Kollmansberger, will lead the American Legion Rider’s Prisoner of War/Missing in Action (POW/MIA) tribute procession prior to the official ceremony beginning promptly R32 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
at 11. The Walleye Weekend sound system will be configured to facilitate a festivalwide broadcast of the ceremony. Flag and accompanying certificates of authenticities will be presented in memory of slain Fond du Lac Police Officer Craig Birkholz and State Trooper Trevor Casper. In addition, war-era Veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam will be presented flags. The City of Fond du Lac will be presented a flag, as well as Lakeshore Elementary School which was recognized as a 2014 Blue Ribbon School. A majority of the flags that will be presented were flown at the Tomb of the
Lakeshore Elementary School in Fond du Lac is among eight Wisconsin 2014 National Blue Ribbon Schools, and the Pledge of Allegiance will be led by Pack 3702’s Scout, Bear Kolby Martin, one of many great students from Lakeshore Elementary School who contributed to the coveted award under the leadership of Principal Matt Steinbarth and staff. The 4-H Pledge will be led by Allison Opheim and Emily Franke of the FDL County 4-H. Peace Officers Memorial Day was held on May 15, 2015.

ENTERTAINMENT // FREEDOM SUNDAY
Freedom Sunday Music, Dancing, Freedom BY JIM MORAN On Sunday, June 7th, from 11 in the morning until 5 that afternoon, Oshkosh will be celebrating freedom with music, dancing and food at Opera House Square as two great events are combined into Freedom Summer Comes Home 2 Race Unity Project. “First off, this is a remembrance of the Civil Rights Movement,” Lee Sonoski said. Lee, along with Michael Flanagan, are organizing the event. “Last year, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Freedom Summer,” Lee said “we want to honor the accomplishments of the Civil Rights movement by bringing different groups of people together through music, and perhaps communicate
more effectively.” The Race Unity Project, which is in its 22nd year, will begin its portion of the program at 11 and will include mariachi music, Hmong dancers, the Oshkosh Rhythm Institute, and a wide array of ethnic foods as well as a number of informational booths. For the Freedom Summer Comes Home music, Sosnoski tapped coproducers Gwen Carr and George Halas, who produced the highly-regarded Martin Luther King Celebration in Oshkosh this past January. In addition to being one of the area’s premier jazz vocalists, Carr has an even more impressive resume as an activist for social justice. As she did for the King program, Carr will include first-hand accounts
of the Civil Rights movement as well as songs both poignant and relevant. “I am doing this because I believe music and social justice go hand-in-hand,” Carr said. “We have a tremendous challenge ahead to fulfill the expectations of our ancestors who fought so long and so hard for our freedoms.” “Music is a great way to get this message across to people who might not be as accepting if you told them,” Carr added, “because music bypasses the brain and goes directly to the heart.” Oshkosh resident and international jazz star Janet Planet will be joined by
guitarist Tom Theabo in a special guest appearance. Carr has assembled an exceptional band of Oshkosh’s finest that includes drummer/ bandleader Mike Malone, Andy Mertens playing bass, Kelvin Kasper on guitar and Julio Reyes playing saxophones. Composer and arranger Tom Washatka has provided new arrangements for the songs. In case of rain or inclement weather, the program will be moved to the First Congregational Church in Oshkosh.

ENTERTAINMENT // POSTCARD FROM MILWAUKEE
The Unheard Of Celebrate 30 Years
BY BLAINE SCHULTZ Has there ever been a band more appropriately named than The Unheard Of? They couldn’t get arrested in their own back yard, yet have seven vinyl releases at home and in Europe. Recently the group celebrated its 30 year milestone on WMSE 91.7 fm. Three decades ago Jim Galaxy and the late Dave Raeck got together to concoct a psychedelic/garage rock cocktail. Blending Raeck’s Stooges/Cramps/MC5 influences with Galaxy’s Yardbirds/Chocolate Watchband/13th Floor Elevators leanings, it is a sound that remains the band’s sonic foundation. “Even after he left the band Dave remained our musical compass. It was his idea for us to get vinyl released in Europe.”
R38 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
“You know we never were a ‘Milwaukee’ band,” said leader Galaxy. “We were always a little bit nomadic, always on the fringes. Our success has been to have fans on five of the seven continents and to have fans far and wide. The biggest fan base is in Greece and Italy,” The band started out playing obscure psychedelic and garage covers, evolving to add originals and after that the VOX sound the vinyl era. With their roots in Germantown, the band eventually ventured into Milwaukee to play a gig at the late, lamented Century Hall with Liquid Pink. “Of the 3 of us who started the band, I am the only one still here to tell the story,” says Galaxy. Current members include mark Dietrich, Frank Milligan, Mel Montemayor III and Galaxy. Past collaborators have included Glenn Rehse, Julie Brandenburg, Dale Kaminski, Lori Kern and the late-Davey Jones. A 2015 recording session is in progress. While live appearances remain few and far between, Galaxy and company soldier on, content with an “overseas niche and pockets of zealots everywhere.” For more information: http://theunheardof.net/

ENTERTAINMENT // HO MALONE
YO! It’s Ho Malone Time! If you haven’t yet been exposed to the eclectic sound of Ho Malone from Waupaca’s Chain O’ Lakes, you’re in for a treat. Ho Malone got its start back in January 2014, when The Hook Up, a band that included Nick Rodello, needed a bass player for a battle of the bands competition. The call when out to Rodello’s friend, Zach Bartel. “We’d played parties in high school,” Bartel said. After the gig, Bartel mentioned that he had a number of original songs that he wanted to record and play. Rodello expressed his interest. With Bartel playing guitar and Rodello on bass, they added drummer Corey Bowe and guitarist Ian Hart to complete the band. The sound is unique, leaving Bartel hard pressed to describe it. “It has psychedelic, folk, garage and rock influences, but it goes off in many directions in what we hope is a good way,” Bartel said. “All of the individuals in the band have been playing since at least
middle school, so we have excellent musicianship, dynamics and harmonies.” The group released Mean and Nice, an eight-song, all-original CD in April, and it shot to the top of the charts in Waupaca. “The response to the music has been very good, as has the response to our videos,” Bartel said. “I’ve been told it’s valid art.” Marci Beaucoup of the Wisco band Baba Ghanooj, and a strong supporter of the local arts scene is thrilled to see the band getting more attention. “Ho Malone is a true grit original Waupaca band,” Beaucoup said “made up of players who can truly speak to the experience and essence of living in a small community.

Reaching for the Zenith BY GEORGE HALAS One of the most pleasant aspects of the Wisconsin Brewing Company Concert Series is that, in addition to discovering some fabulous music, each month will provide an opportunity to discover a new beer. At both the June 17th appearance at Peabody’s in Oshkosh by Ho Malone as well as the Walt Hamburger and The Young Guns concert at Holiday’s Pub & Grill in Neenah on June 24th, WBC will be featuring Zenith. “I view beer as an adjunct to the enjoyment of life,” said WBC vice-president and brewmaster Kirby Nelson. “Zenith is a summer seasonal beer that easily complements both music and warm-weather drinking. Summer in Wisconsin is a fleeting phenomenon, so you gotta’ make the most of it, and Zenith is just the beer to do it.” Zenith is a saison beer, originally brewed by European farmers with whatever ingredients were on hand, but over the years it has evolved into a distinctive brew that has a light grain bill and distinctive yeast strains that make it citrusy, peppery
and a sometimes surprising personality. “This saison has roots as a farmhouse ale,” Nelson said “but we’ve enhanced it with hints of coriander for a beer that’s complex and fruity, yet very clean and refreshing. This is a shimmering golden haze of a brew. Zenith is very special to us. At this stage of my career, I am learning more about Belgian ales. This is one of our first attempts at a great Wisconsin version of a pseudo-European classic and we are very pleased. What makes it special is the refreshment factor. It’s relatively complex but clean and very easy to drink. It’s very refreshing and makes you come back for more.” It pours with a hazy gold and an aroma resembling a Belgian wit – grains, orange peel and spice – and yields medium to light-bodied with an exceptionally dry finish that makes Zenith one of the easiest drinking saisons on the market. “You can sit down with Zenith,” Nelson said. “It’s your buddy. It’s got its own confidence, but it’s not an obnoxious show-off.” It goes great with live summer music.

Theatre Z to Present “Other Desert Cities” GREEN BAY: Theatre Z will present Jon Robin Baitz’s “Other Desert Cities” starting Tuesday, June 16 and running through Saturday, June 20, at the Art Garage’s newly acquired building, The Cannery, 1429 Main Street (on Olde Main Street), Green Bay. WI. All shows will be held at 7:30 p.m. with the exception of an additional performance on June 20 when a 2 p.m. matinee and 7:30 evening show will be presented. “Other Desert Cities” won the Outer Critics Circle Award in 2011 and was nominated for five Tony awards, including Best Play and ran on Broadway at the R42 | SceneNewspaper.com | June 2015
Booth Theatre from 2011-2012. Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents, her brother, and her aunt. Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family’s history – a wound they don’t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it. Stephen Rupsch, associate professor of theatre studies and director of theatre for St. Norbert College, will direct and produce the production, scenography by April Beiswenger, assistant professor of theatre
studies for St. Norbert College. The cast includes Teresa Aportela Sergott as Brooke Wyeth, Laura Riddle as Polly Wyeth, Alan Kopischke (member of Actors’ Equity Association) as Lyman Wyeth, Carol Cassell as Silda Grauman and Andrew Delaurelle as Trip Wyeth. Tickets are on sale now and are general admission for $20. To purchase tickets online, visit http://www.brownpapertickets.com. The box office at the Cannery at the Art Garage will open 45 minutes prior to show time and offer a limited number of full price and student tickets ($20 and $6) for cash only. The play contains adult
situations, humor and language. Theatre Z is a semi-professional theatre company under the umbrella of Mosaic Arts, Green Bay. Funding for Other Desert Cities is made possible by the George F. Kress Foundation, private donations and a successful Go Fund Me campaign. “The most richly enjoyable new play for grown-ups that New York has known in many seasons…” NY Times “Astutely drawn…juicy and surprising.” NY Daily News. “Spending time with these messed-up, complicated people is a genuine pleasure.” NY Post.

ROOFTOP JUMPERS
All of the ingredients are made up from scratch. We make everything here you know, so I make sure that I use the best ingredients that you can find out there. The best olive oil, the best vinegar. You know. So, [we’re] really careful about what we do and what we put in our recipes. Scene Newspaper: Is there anything else you’d like to tell the readers? Walter: I think, it’s to give us a try. And if they’re willing to try something different in the area, we are down here. And I’m sure they won’t be disappointed with our food, our composition, and we’re going to keep doing new things, new dishes so we can keep the customer happy.
DID YOU KNOW?
it could be a verde sauce, could be salsa colorada. It goes over a breakfast burrito, huevos rancheros, enchiladas, whatever, en la sol [under the sun]. Scene Newspaper: Sure. You said you’re in a Mediterranean phase right now. What all have you gone through, while S.I.L.’s been open? Walter: We’ve been a little bit of Caribbean, but the Hispanic area. I’m talking more towards Cuba, Puerto Rico. We have what we call tostones rellenos. That’s a plantain, whole, deep fried, plantains, like a potato chip. But it’s different. It’s really healthy and a different taste. And we have loaded avocado with shrimp ceviche. You know. So all those flavors are a little on the hispanic, but a little bit on the Mediterranean. So right now the menu is focused a little bit of Mexico, Mediterranean, but also the Caribbean. But still with the Latin flavors. Scene Newspaper: Clearly you have experience cooking with a wide variety of areas in South America and Latin America among others. How did you get involved in a restaurant in Green Bay? Walter: I grew up in Los Angeles. And with my mom, that’s how I started my love for cooking. Down in Los Angeles, my first job was in a restaurant, when I was in high school. That’s where I started getting a feel for the cooking, getting a little more attention [for my craft]. So I started working in different restaurants down there and I started learning the Hispanic cuisine. Then I came to Green Bay when I was 18 approximately and I started working in different restaurants in this area. I was a sous-chef in different restaurants in the [Green Bay] area, and that’s when I learned a different type of cuisine. Different techniques and such like that. I’m very much a self-taught chef. It costs a lot more money to teach yourself than going to school I think. But the good thing about us is that I like to cook with the heart. You know, I put my heart in what I do, and I’m into flavors. I think we do a really good job. I’m very involved in everything we cook, in everything that comes out of the kitchen.

BY PATRICK MARES Friday, March 27, the Engler Center played host to 11 bands for Launchpad’s Green Bay area garage band competition. Each band that had made it to the regional competition was com¬peting for a place at state, and even better, a gig at Summer¬fest. With playtime at the world’s largest music festival you can be sure that the bands came ready to rock. And they did. Every per-formance was respectable, but there were about five of them that were head and shoulders above the rest. Here’s what was up for grabs that weekend.

IN CONCLUSION We’d like to hammer home that just getting to the regional Launchpad garage band compe¬tition was an achievement, and we’d like to thank all the bands that came and gave it a shot, whether or not they went home with a prize. There was some ex¬cellent material on display from everyone present, and the com¬petition showcased a number of budding young professionals. The bands that went on, Kar¬mah, Eminence, Eden and run¬ners up The Sobieski Outlaws were all incredibly deserving and we wish you the best. Get out there and get it guys.
