COVER STORY  //  IOLA CAR SHOW
Iola ‘15 Highlights Annual WI Shindig
is a Feast for Old Car Junkies
The 2015 Iola Old Car Show will be
held July 9-11 in Iola, Wis. For this year’s
event, show organizers have assembled a
slate of great displays and new activities
to keep the show exciting. Here are just a
few of the highlights of the show, which
complement the enormous swap meet Iola
is also known for.
‘Counting Cars’ TV star at Iola
Ryan Evans, the senior airbrush artist at
Count’s Kustoms and a star on the History
Channel’s hit TV show “Counting Cars”
will be visiting the Iola Old Car Show.
Evans will be attending the show courtesy
of Vintage Works, a hobbyist’s source for
professional services such as sandblasting,
powder coating, machining and metal
fabrication.
1973 Chrysler Newport
giveaway car
A big, beautiful 1973 Chrysler New-
port will be given away during the Iola
Old Car Show’s new “Super Saturday”
activities. The Chrysler will be presented
to one winning attendee by its donor, the
non-profit Rawhide Boys Ranch of New
London, Wis. The Chrysler is a one-owner
car with two build sheets. Iola Old Car
Show visitors will have a chance to win the
Chrysler by simply completing an entry
form in the “Teamed to Learn” exhibit tent
during the show.
There’s more! Several additional sup-
porters of the Iola Old Car Show have
partnered to give away a host of other great
prizes, as well. Coker Tire, the S.S. Badger,
Ho-Chunk Casino, Miller Electric, Gen-
eral Beer and Mitsubishi and Shoemaker
Electric have each donated prizes to be
given away after the Old Cars Weekly and
IOLA ’15 Pass-in-Review parade, which
begins at 3 p.m.
Don ‘Big Daddy’ Garlits &
Swamp Rat
Don “Big Daddy” Garlits is a living and
still-racing legend. The world-famous drag
racer innovated from behind the wheel,
and one of those cars to sport his innova-
tions is Swamp Rat 12-A. This dragster was
built in 1967 with a 137-inch-wheelbase
chassis as an experiment. Garlits admit-
ted it was a failure on the track. He sold
it, then bought it back in 1987. Again, it
then sat. In 2007, “MoPar called me to see
if I would like to build a 6.4 (liter), late-
model Hemi blown-fuel engine. I did and
installed it into Swamp Rat 12-A,” Garlits
said.
Garlits will be on hand with his Swamp
Rat 12-A dragster, which he’ll fire up mul-
tiple times on Friday and Saturday during
the show. It will lead several “cackstarts”
with other period dragsters during the
Iola Old Car Show from its place near the
“Theme Tent.”
Pace Cars & Race Cars Display
Given Wisconsin’s huge role in racing,
the “Pace & Race” was a natural idea for
the gigantic event. Dozens of race cars
and dozens of pace cars pre-registered for
the Theme Area of IOLA ’15. Among the
race cars, look for a 1914 Indian board
track racer, a 1923 Packard Indy 500 racer,
a 1970 Buick GS State 2 race car, a 1952
Cunningham C3 race car and many other
restored racers. There will also be a small
display of “barn find” period race cars that
still show the battle scars from their heyday
on the track.
The pace car display includes many cars
that actually paced the race at the India-
napolis 500, plus a huge selection of Indy
500 pace car replicas. There will also be a
unique Corvair pace car used on a race-
track back in the day.
11-mile 1963 Chevrolet Impala
When Gary Leidich bought his 1963
Chevrolet Impala in September 2013, a
thick layer of dust and dirt belied the fact
it had just 11 miles on the odometer. The
Janesville, Wis.-built Impala was one of 50
unsold new Chevrolets stashed by Pierce,
Neb., car dealer Ray Lambrecht beginning
in the 1950s.
Lambrecht’s collection of “new old”
C h e v r o l e t s
was auctioned
in September
2013, and since
buying the car
at that auction,
Leidich has thor-
oughly cleaned
the Impala and
made it run. He
looks forward to
sharing the car
at the 2015 Iola
Old Car Show
and learning
more about it
from show attendees who may have had a
hand in building the car at the Janesville
assembly plant.
60-mile 1973 Ford Mustang
When Ford announced it would stop
building Mustang convertibles at the
end of the 1973 model year, a Wisconsin
Mustang convertible owner ran out and
ordered a new one as back up to her 1966
and 1968 Mustang convertibles. She never
needed the 1973 Mustang convertible —
she’s still driving her 1968 droptop. In
2014, she sold her unused 1973 Mustang
convertible with 37 miles on the odometer.
The new Wisconsin owner has since accu-
mulated a couple dozen more miles on the
odometer, and it now reads 60 miles. The
unrestored 1973 Mustang will be featured
next to the low-mileage 1963 Impala con-
vertible in the “Teamed to Learn” tent.
Elio prototype
A prototype from America’s newest car
company will debut to Iola Old Car Show
attendees.
The Elio P4 prototype will be dis-
played at the Iola Old Car Show near the
“Teamed to Learn” tent by Jerome Vassallo,
vice president of sales for Elio Motors of
Phoenix, Ariz. Vassallo will be passing
out information and answering questions
while allowing show attendees to try on the
Elio prototype for size.
Pass-in-Review
In association with the Iola Old Car
Show, Old Cars Weekly will present a Pass-
in-Review parade at 3 p.m. on Saturday
during the event. The parade will feature
many of the show cars in the Blue Ribbon
Concours, Theme Tent and other areas of
the show. Many of the cars to be featured
in the Pass-in-Review are previous Old
Cars Weekly cover cars, or will be soon.
The Pass-in-Review will be held
between the Iola Old Car Show Activity
Center and the Old Cars Weekly office
building, adjacent to the “Theme Tent.”
‘Class of ’64’ factory light-
weight drag cars
Star quarterbacks from the MoPar and
Ford campuses will be part of a special
“Class of ’64” display in the “Pace & Race”
Theme Tent of IOLA ’15. Seth Rohde will
be bringing two MoPar factory drag cars
— a 1964 Plymouth drag raced as “The
Hairbender” and a 1965 Dodge originally
raced as “The High and Mighty.” Both cars
are very rare and sport the new-for-1964
Hemi performance engine.
Jack Hazelgren will be bringing “The
Little Rattler,” a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt.
The coupe packs a 427-cid Ford V-8 and
represents the mid-size factory Ford light-
weight race cars that tore up racetracks
across the country in ’64, sometimes
competing with the Hemi lightweights like
those owned by Rohde.

ENTERTAINMENT // SERIOUSLY FUNNY
Our active arts community is a
wonderful human complement
to the natural beauty for which
we have long been known.
—Bryan Smith, Mayor
of the City of Waupaca
BY JEAN DETJEN
The Waupaca Community Arts Board (WCAB) will
be hosting its 9th Annual Waupaca Arts on the Square
(AOTS) in Downtown Waupaca Thursday, August 13
through Saturday, August 15. This dynamic celebration of
the arts features live music, interactive arts workshops, fine
art, dance, and a community art project.
“The Waupaca community has a long history of volun-
teers coming together to promote the arts and arts appre-
ciation,” says Bryan Smith, Mayor of the City of Waupaca.
“From a few dedicated people working to provide artistic
exposure to the community, our arts community has grown
to include a very sizable artist community and many dif-
ferent arts organizations and arts related businesses of all
kinds.”
WCAB founder Marci Reynolds, who is a musician in
the local favorite band Baba Ghanooj, agrees. “The inten-
tional creation of creative events began in Waupaca about
20 years ago, with a core group of like-minded people
coming together and sharing their vision for our small rural
town. This group had so much fun brainstorming and cre-
ating events that they started to feel guilty that the general
public could not participate. This caused the core group to
expand and try to be more accessible to the public.  With
many agendas that included no holds barred creativity,
unlimited fun, the peace movement, and the idea that if
we have to live in a small town it had better be interesting,
the group pursued public non-profit status and endeavored
to engage with the entire community. The richness of life is
based upon really valuing every member of our community,
and understanding that we are all part of what makes up
our local society.”
Reynolds notes that as a musician, she knows the special
feeling of being able to express yourself musically. “Part
of the mission of the WCAB is to create situations where
anyone can experience, on many levels, the satisfaction and
thrill of creativity.”  
“The AOTS festival started out as a way to celebrate all
aspects of creativity of our community,” adds Bev Crane,
chair of the Art Jury Committee. “We started out with the
goal of trying to get 30 to 40 high quality artists who would,
over the years, form the foundation of the festival. The plan
was that this foundation would then be embellished by
musical acts, theatrical acts, dance and more. A major push
was to include ways in which community members could
come to the festival and not only enjoy what they saw and
heard, but become involved in various ways, through the
creative process.”
This year, in addition to 40 artists, and 3 entertainment
stages, there are 9 interactive arts workshops including
children’s art workshops led by artists, a poetry workshop,
music workshop, dance, community art projects and more.
There is also a poetry stage, with poets of various ages,
including New York Subway poet Lynn Gentry, and the
Dead Poets Society from the local high school.

Festivities kick-off in a community
known for its dynamic and thriving artistic
community on Thursday, August 13 with
events sponsored by Waupaca’s retailers
group, Waupaca King and In Between. These
events start with a chalking competition
entitled Adopt a Square in which local retail-
ers adopt a city square sidewalk square for
youth to share their chalk art renditions that
can earn them prizes in design competition.
Local retailers will have spent the entire
previous week chalking outside of their own
establishments, in the traditional competi-
tive chalking which will also be judged by
WCAB members. Capping off this evening,
the Waupaca Middle School band will per-
form on the square at 5 pm, with chalking
awards being announced at 5:30.
“The retail association has also been
more involved every year, with this year’s
plans being to extend the festival another
whole day with various youth and music
and chalk events,” says Anita Olson, a local
retailer who heads up the group Waupaca
King and In Between that is advocating for
new ways to boost the creative economy.
Friday evening in Downtown Waupaca,
the Family Friendly street dance will fea-
ture National recording artists Davina and
the Vagabonds from 7 - 10:30pm playing
Americana, jazz and blues. Fire Spinner
Broegy Pease and friends will entertain at
the band’s break. Food, beer and beverages
are available all evening.
Events continue Saturday, from 10 - 4
pm with 40 fine artists filling the Down-
town Waupaca square. The artists will
provide their juried exhibits, competing for
cash awards. Their art will be available for
sale to the public.
Three stages of live entertainment
include Tom Pease, bluegrass band Ukelyp-
tus, original music from Boston’s Hillary
Reynolds, alternative band Kyle Megna
and the Monsoons, and local rock favorites
Ho Malone.
The Union Street stage will feature a
participatory song circle workshop with the
talented Chris Kokesh, Flamenco guitar
and dance with John Laedtke and Pamela
Luedtke, and several jazz acts including
Wisconsin Public Radio’s Chris Kuborn
and his Steel Drums, the Ian Duerr Jazz

trio form New York, and the John Harmon
Trio form Lawrence University. This tent
will also feature periodic dance by the Shu-
vani Tribal belly dancers.
The Bandstand stage will feature Ari-
zona’s Anasazi flute player Vibhas Kendzia,
Classical violins and strings form the Aber
Suzuki Studio, the Kari Esbensen String
Quartet, and the One for the Road Barber-
shoppers.
The newly added Poetry Stage gives
voice to original poets reading their work
throughout the day. Poets include local
favorites Patricia Reckrey and Jane Peter-
son, as well as National poet Lynn Gentry
who will also write spontaneous street
poetry throughout the day. The Waupaca
High School Dead Poets Society who will
host a Poetry Slam. Part of this stage will
be a community workshop dedicated to
learning about and writing Haiku, with
the creation of a community Haiku display
that will be installed outside at Office Out-
fitters.
Street performers will add to the eclec-
tic wide variety of entertainment at 2014
Arts on the Square. New to 2015 will be
a Pleine Aire group, which is a group of
professional artists dedicated to painting
from life and to using field studies as the
inspiration for studio
works. The group
will be rotating
around the festival
grounds, painting
what inspires them
throughout the day.
There will also be
a live foosball exhibit
with local adult
soccer teams compet-
ing.
Since a large part
of Arts on the Square
is to emphasize not
only appreciation,
but also participation
in the arts, there will
again be a wide vari-
ety of interactive arts
opportunities and
workshops, including
a large community
art project called
Circle of Community
in which everyone
can participate in
creating a piece of
art that will be put
together the day of
the festival.
Also offered are 3
children’s art workshops, a quilting work-
shop, a henna workshop, and more. The
workshops are designed for all ages and
led by artists enhance the belief that every
person is creative. All workshops are free,
and are ongoing throughout the entire day
on Saturday.
As always, a variety of culinary delights
will be available with beverages and beer
on the grounds all day Saturday. There will
also be an expanded farmer’s market on
site.
All performances and workshops at
Arts on the Square are free. Arts on the
Square is funded by ThedaCare, Com-
munity First Credit Union; the City of
Waupaca, many generous local donors and
community members.
It’s a big undertaking but Waupaca
arts supporters are tenacious in their
efforts. “Many people get involved out of
sheer enthusiasm for a particular idea or
concept,” says Reynolds, who chairs the
Festival Planning Committee. “These ideas
are manifested during many a brainstorm-
ing session at official WCAB meetings,
between friends, or at local establishments
such as Weasel’s restaurant. Every year the
ideas get more intricate and elaborate, with
the belief that anything is possible in a
small rural town.”
The group’s commitment to the cause
is in the details of how all the pieces came
together. “A key feature this year that is an
example of a leap of faith is the fact that
the national touring band Davina and the
Vagabonds will be the featured act for the
Friday Night Street Dance,” Reynolds
said. “This professional act, with accom-
plished musicianship and an engaging
show, played over 250 gigs per year here in
the US and abroad. The planning commit-
tee was able to take the risk of booking this
act due to their sincere faith that the com-
munity would somehow come through,
which is exactly what happened with an
anonymous philanthropist entering the
arena to make up the difference. This is an
example of how the Waupaca community
is behind the vision for AOTS. Not only
supporting in a monetary fashion, but
by volunteering time and sweat equity to
create this festival.”
The mayor of Waupaca, Brian Smith,
and the city council are all in support of
AOTS, with not only their financial sup-
port via a generous annual grant, but also
by proclaiming August to be “Arts Appre-
ciation Month” in Waupaca.
Arts on the Square has grown to be
a landmark summer event in Waupaca,
and Waupaca is becoming known in and
beyond the Chain O’ Lakes for its robust
arts scene. “With the power of relationship
and creativity, we are able to continu-
ally grow in quality and innovativeness,
and hope to someday expand this event
to cover even more days filled with more
local participation and fun for our entire
community!” Reynolds said.  “Waupaca is
where it’s at!”

FOOD & DRINK  //  BREWMASTER
BY STEVE LONSWAY
The Stone Arch Brew House brewery team
has always been fond of the beers Surly makes
and with a few recent trips to the Minneapolis/
St. Paul area, we were able to get an ample
supply. Unfortunately our stock wore thin.
Good for us and other beer aficionados, Surly
beers can now be found right here is Wisconsin.
When this news broke we were quick to call our
distributor to land some of these fine brews for
our Tap Room (and personal stash as well). The
truly hard part was to find the one brand we
wanted to write about. We ended up choos-
ing the one we were most unfamiliar with…
Overrated! Surly Overrated is a self-proclaimed
“Pale gold American (West Coast) IPA with
fruity-citrus aromas from generous dry hop-
ping”. Our team used goblets for our Surly
sampling experience. Here is what we found:
The beer poured a true golden blond color
and produced a golden hue head that consisted
primarily of tightly formed CO2 bubbles.
Unanimously we noticed a definite haze to
an almost cloudy appearance. Typically dry
hopped beers will appear hazy which is nothing
more than a visual thing, nothing that should
steer you away. Some breweries will filter the
haze out, but unfortunately it also strips some
of the hop character out as well.
The nose (or scent) of this beer screams
hops! Floral, citrusy, earthy, musty, grapefruit
are all words our team used to describe it. A
couple of us thought it was absent of the piney
tones that are typical in a West Coast IPA. It
was still quite pleasurable however.
As you would expect with a beer like this,
our teams notes on the taste/flavor portion
of this beer was pretty diverse. I person-
ally noticed a malt forward push with Craig
noticing caramel in the flavor. The other
guys reported a lack of malt tones. A definite
earthy tone came through with Taylor, Brian
and Craig all noting a boozy or alcoholic flavor
popping in. Very hop forward was the overall
consensus. Citrus and floral definitely shines
through on the palette and the medium body
was just right for the style.
Surly Overrated finishes strong, both in
hop character with its bitterness and warming
from the presence of alcohol. Taylor com-
mented that it finishes almost like a lemon-
lime soda. None-the-less it finishes clean and
dry with a slight warming effect.
Surly Brewing got their start in 2004 when
an aspiring brewer convinced his parents and
wife to convert the family abrasives business
into a brewery. In order to be a brewery you
need to brew beer and Surly did just that in
December, 2005. With the help of heavy metal
music and incorrectly operating fermenter
controls, the first batch of Surly became reality
on December 30th
, 2005. Two months later
they hit the streets to sell their flagship brew
Furious. Furious was a bit ahead of its time
and not well received at first by the local bars
and restaurants but fortunately they have since
come around. Then, good news came in June
of 2007 when BeerAdvocate magazine named
Surly Brewing the Best Brewery in America
which was shortly followed up by more good
news that RateBeer named Surly Darkness the
best American beer in the world. With such
fine accolades on their resume, they inspired
to grow to not only handle increased demand,
but to have a destination brewery where people
can watch the beer being brewed, drink it and
enjoy a fine meal as well. Only one problem
prevented this dream from coming to fruition
– an outdated, Prohibition-era Minnesota law.
This law prevented breweries from selling their
beer from their location (crazy, isn’t it?). Surly
immediately went to work to change that law
but soon realized it may be a bigger task then
even they could handle. So what did they do?
They turned to Surly Nation and encouraged
them via social media to contact their legisla-
tors to help turn that law into history. On May
24, 2011 the then Minnesota Governor signed
the “Surly Bill” into law allowing breweries
that produce less than 250,000 barrels of beer
annaully to sell their works at their breweries.
Two years later, Surly broke ground on
their next adventure…a destination brewery.
Finally in December 2014, after a record
breaking cold winter and record spring rain-
fall, Surly opened their doors to an amazing
facility that truly is a destination. Brewery,
beer hall, restaurant, banquet hall and amaz-
ing beer garden await you in Brooklyn Center,
Minnesota bordering Minneapolis.
FINAL WORD: Surly Overrated! Is truly
overrated…in name only. A great beer, in a
great package, by a great brewery. Cheers!

FOOD & DRINK  //  FROM THE WINE CAVE
BY
KIMBERLY
FISHER
V i v a
La France!
France is
a place of
many wonders and has many unique grape
growing areas. The Rhone Valley is the
oldest established winemaking region in
France dating back 600 years before the
Romans.
Although the Rhone is considered one
wine region, it is divided into two distinct
parts based on climate and grape variety.
The Northern Rhone comprises less than
five percent of the total production, but
makes some of the area’s most amazing
white and red wine. The region is 45 miles
long and has the influence of the Mistral
winds that are intense and cold. Grape
growing is dominated by two varieties. Red
wine is made with the Syrah grape most
famously grown in Cornas and Cote Rotie.
The Cornas region is over 130 hectares
with a warm continental climate. The
region is ancient; over 300 million years
old, planted exclusively to Syrah. White
wine made in Northern Rhone is made
from the Viognier grape most famously in
Condrieu.
Cote Rotie also known as the “Roasted
Slope,” is a region that is over 1500 years
old. The vines are grown on steep Roman
Terraces. It has the lowest production per
hectares and some of the highest altitude
vineyards primarily given over to Syrah
and Viognier. Other white varietals
permitted in the north are Marsanne and
Roussanne. In Cornas, the Syrah grape is
grown on granite soil allowing the grape
to have power rather than finesse. One
notable producer in Northern Rhone is
Jean Luc Colombo. Known as a visionary
for the region, he was the first to use small
oak barrels and vinify in stainless steel. He
is the recipient of the French Legion of
Honor, which is the highest civilian honor
in the country of France and has achieved
over 150 scores of over 90+ points from
trade publications such as Robert Parker
and Wine Spectator since the winery began
in 1982.
The Southern Rhone is home to 95 per-
cent of the valley’s grape production. The
soil is primarily stones that are rounded
pebbles called gallets with a mixture of
shingle and stone clay. Twenty five grapes
are grown in the south, but the dominant
red grape is Grenache, often blended
with Mourvedre and Cinsault. Leading
producers in the area include E Guigal,
Paul Jaboulet, Perrin and Chapoutier. Jean
Luc Colombo also produces wines in the
Southern Rhone region and has created a
label called “Les Abeilles” (French for the
bees) which features a Cotes du Rhone Red
and White. As Jean has been known as the
Syrah wizard, he is also known for helping
to save the bees. A disease called Colony
Collapse Disorder has mysteriously been
decimating bee populations throughout
the world, including the Rhone River
Valley. Honeybees pollinate more than
90% of our flowering grapes, and over the
years, the bees and their colonies are dying.
Ten percent of sales of Jean Luc Colombo
Cotes du Rhone Red and White go to
research at UC Davis, to help research and
find ways to save the bees.
When in Rhone, do what the Rhon –
ans do; drink Rhone wine. The ancient
soils, the vast and diverse acreage and the
centuries of viticulture make the Rhone
River valley one of the very special wine
growing areas in the world. Explore a
region in France that can offer you so many
nuances and taste what makes this area so
unique.

FOOD & DRINK  // TRICIA’S TABLE
BY TRISH DERGE
Anybody can squish a few patty’s out
of a pound of burger, toss them on the
grill and singe the dickens out of them
until they’re flavorless and dry as a Saharan
paleontologist’s sack lunch.
But if you want your guests at your
cookout to enjoy their meal, and not col-
lectively roll their eyes in disgust at the
blackened disk you place on their bun and
say, “Better load up on the condiments,”
take note of a few tips from an expert.
Jamie  Schweid is executive vice
president/co-butcher of Schweid & Sons, a
purveyor of ground beef that was founded
in the late 1800’s on New York’s Lower
East Side.  
Jamie says: 
1. Always lay the burger cheese-side
down on the bun.
This way your bottom bun won’t get
soggy, and your burger will taste better.  
2. Don’t just toss the patty on the grill. 
If cooking outdoors, use a grill mat
or camp griddle to ensure a nice sear and
keep your patty from sticking or losing its
shape.
3. Forget that frying pans even exist.
If cooking on a stovetop, a cast iron
skillet is the best way to get a restaurant-
style crust on the patty’s exterior.
4. Fat is your friend. 
For a juicy, delicious burger, opt for
meat that has a 75/25 lean to fat ratio.  
5. Always pre-heat and pre-oil your
cooking surface.
Pro tip: Cook some bacon and use the
fat as your oil!  
6. Don’t bother with pulling down
your hood. 
Closing the lid on your grill does not
aid in cooking the burger, only in melting
the cheese (that is, if you’re putting the
cheese on top, where it definitely should
not be). 
7. Your patty should weigh no more
than eight ounces. 
Any larger than that will jeopardize
your ability to cook the burger to a perfect
medium rare.  
8. Cold hands form the best patties.
Try rubbing a piece of ice on your
palms just before shaping. Wash your
hands with soap and water before you get
started.
9. NEVER put a burger on a non-
toasted bun.
The juices will run out and ruin it. The
only exception to this rule is sliders, which
should be served on soft or potato rolls,
with cheese on the bottom, of course.
Trish’s Delicious Avocado Topping
I love this on top of a burger, or just on a hearty piece of toast
for breakfast.
•	 Chop three scallions and a clove of garlic, and saute in
with olive oil a pan. Set aside.
•	 In a medium bowl smoosh an avocado with a fork.
•	 Squeeze in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice.
•	 Add a quarter cup of crumbled blue cheese.
•	 Fold in the onions and garlic.
•	 Pepper to taste, and enjoy!
Burger Time!

Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band at EAA AirVenture!
BY JANE SPIETZ
Actor/humanitarian/musician
Gary Sinise has enjoyed a multifaceted
career. He started out playing in bands as a
teenager, but became totally captivated by
theater after performing in a high school
production of West Side Story. Sinise went
on to co-found the Steppenwolf Theater
in Chicago and still supports its activities.
A prolific actor, he won an Emmy for his
portrayal of George Wallace on television,
a Golden Globe for Truman, in which he
played Harry S. Truman and he was Detec-
tive Mac Taylor on CSI:NY. Sinise was
nominated for an Academy Award for Best
Supporting Actor for his role as Lt. Dan
Taylor in Forrest Gump.
It was this last character that eventu-
ally led to his great passion for working to
support veterans and veterans’ service orga-
nizations for the past thirty years. After
forming the Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan
Band, Sinise and his band regularly hit
the road to back these efforts, and he also
makes solo appearances to help get the
word out. His Gary Sinise Foundation
was established in 2011 to raise funds and
promote resources for servicemen and
women. Sinise co-founded the Operation
International Children program which
ships school supply kits to troops serv-
ing in conflict areas overseas. Severely
wounded veterans benefit from the Gary
Sinise Foundation’s building of custom
Smart Homes for them. He has earned
numerous notable awards for his work,
such as the Presidential Citizens Medal,
The Ellis Island Medal of Honor, The Bob
Hope Award for Excellence in Entertain-
ment from the Medal of Honor Society,
and the Spirit of the USO Award. His
most recent award was the 2015 Service to
America Leadership Award from the NAB
Education Foundation (NABEF).
Gary Sinise called me from Los Angeles
not long ago to update me on his activities,
including the Lt. Dan Band’s upcoming
performance at the 2015 EAA AirVenture
in Oshkosh WI.
Jane Spietz:  Hi Gary. You initially
became hooked on acting in high school.
Gary Sinise: I was playing in bands
from the time I was in, like, 6th grade and
hung out with the band guys a lot. Living
in Glen Ellyn Illinois, I went to a produc-
tion of West Side Story in high school and
really liked watching the play. We then
moved to Highland Park. It turns out that
high school was doing West Side Story. I
was standing in the hallway with some of
my band members when the drama teacher
walked by. He said we should come audi-
tion for the play because we looked like
gang members and could play them in the
play. I thought that was funny and I had
just seen it, so I thought I would go check
it out. I was standing outside the audition
watching all these pretty girls walking in,
so I followed them. (Laughs) I ended up
auditioning and got in the show. From
that point on, all I wanted to do is act in
plays and play in bands. When I graduated
high school, I started a theater company
called Steppenwolf which has been around
now for over forty years. I’m one of the
three founders of the company so I’m still
involved with fundraising and some of the
things going on there.
JS:  Have you been involved in any
acting projects lately?
GS: Ever since CSI:NY went off the
air in February of 2013, I have just poured
myself into my foundation and military
support work. I’ve been doing that pretty
much full time for the past two and a half

years. So it’s been a little bit of time away
from that, but I have a television series that
I’m going to start shooting the end of July.
It’s a spinoff of the “Criminal Minds” show
on CBS. We’ll be spinning off a new series
called “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.”
It explores the international division of the
FBI.
JS: How was the Gary Sinise Founda-
tion established?
GS: I had been working with several
military charities, involved with veterans’
groups in the ‘90s working a little bit with
the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and
in the ‘80s working with Vietnam veterans
groups in the Chicago area. After Septem-
ber 11th, I just wanted to do something
for our active duty service members who
were deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq so
I started volunteering for the USO and to
support lots of different military charities
that were popping up. I would just lend
my services with the band or volunteer to
help raise money or whatever I could do.
After working with some of them for sev-
eral years, it just became clear that the next
step was for me to start my own veterans
charity called the Gary Sinise Foundation.
I’ve used what I’ve learned over the years
in supporting men and women to try to
bring some resources to help benefit them
and their families. Our men and women
are going to be called upon for years to
come. Therefore, I stepped up to try to do
my part in helping to support them. They
are our freedom providers. It’s a dangerous
world and they do dangerous things so we
should back them up.
JS: What’s your take on the level of
support that is provided to today’s service
members versus what was offered to veter-
ans in the past?
GS: Let’s look in retrospect. I’m moti-
vated because of the Viet Nam veterans
that I know, and the ones that I have in
my family. My veteran support work goes
back to the ‘70s and early ‘80s with the
recognition as a young man that our Viet
Nam veterans had really gotten a bad deal
coming home. So my motivation today –
the seeds of that – were planted years ago
by the Viet Nam veterans who educated
me. If you look at what’s happening today,
I’m certainly motivated to do whatever I
can to ensure that our active duty service
members today are treated much better
than our Viet Nam veterans were when
they came home from war, and that what
happened to our Viet Nam veterans never
happens again. That you volunteer for ser-
vice or go off to serve your country, you get
shot at, you see your buddies get killed or
wounded, you struggle with long deploy-
ments away from home, serious things
happen to you, then you come home and
the country turns its back on you. That’s
no good. We never want that to happen.
That’s a big motivator for me, and I think
that’s a big motivator for a lot of people.
We recognize that that was a bad deal and
that hopefully we learn some hard lessons
from that period.
JS: The fact that there are more than
40,000 military charities out there kind of
speaks pretty loudly to the fact that people
do care about our service members.
GS: I don’t think it’s up to the govern-
ment to do everything. First of all, because
they can’t, and I think it’s up to us as
citizens who benefit from the freedom
that’s provided by these service members
who deploy at dangerous places around the
world. It’s up to us, in some ways, to ensure
that the veterans in our own communities,
neighborhoods, towns and cities are taken
care of. We can all do that by just stepping
up and saying I want to take some action,
or donate to an organization that is taking
action. One of the things that I can do as a
celebrity, as a public figure, is shine a light
on things. It all became clear that there was
a useful way that my success in the movie
and television business could be applied.
JS: Share the story about the formation
of the Lt. Dan Band.
GS: I started doing USO tours after
the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq started.
I would go out and shake hands and take

pictures. I had these band members that
I played with for fun, and I finally talked
the USO into letting me take the band
members with me. I had been just shak-
ing hands, and I wanted to entertain in
some way. I remember the first tour I did
overseas in Iraq. I was on a tour with Kid
Rock, Lee Ann Womack and these other
entertainers that were playing music. I
immediately started talking to the USO.
I said, “I have a band. I can go do this!”
Because I’m an actor, they look at me like
“Well, yeah sure, you’ve got a band.” But
eventually, after five or six handshake tours,
they let me take the band out on the road
for the USO to play for the troops. That
first year, after we went into Iraq, I went
on six USO tours, like every month for six
months. I was going “Send me to Iraq, send
me to Europe, send me to Asia, wherever.”
I just wanted to go be with the troops,
visit our military, say thank you and pat
‘em on the back. Everywhere I was going
on those handshake tours, they were call-
ing me ‘Lt. Dan’ from Forrest Gump. So,
when I started taking the musicians, I said
let’s call it Gary Sinise & the Lt Dan Band.
We play contemporary, classic, blues, pop,
rock, country. I want a big variety in the
show because we play for little kids on
these bases as well as older veterans. We’ll
even play ‘40s tunes if we’re doing the DAV
convention, for example, and they’ve got
some World War II veterans attending. We
try to play a little something for everybody.
JS: What does it mean for you to be
returning to perform at EAA AirVenture in
Oshkosh in July?
GS: What I love about AirVenture is
they’re so veteran-friendly. There are so
many veterans there. We are always part
of the big veterans salute and tribute. It’s
always a pleasure to be around so many
veteran-friendly families and so many
patriotic Americans. I really enjoy our
doing it and I’m glad we’re coming back
this year. I hope that a lot of people come
out to see us again.
COST: EAA members $28, non-
members $43

ENTERTAINMENT // SHORT BRANCH
BY GEORGE HALAS
If you have not been to The Short
Branch Saloon in Neenah in the last couple
of years or so, be prepared to be very nicely
surprised at what they’ve done to the place.
Walking in the front door, the bar still
has the same rustic feel it has always had.
Keep walking and the end of the bar opens
into an area with a new, raised stage, an
excellent house sound system and tables
arrayed in a way that facilitates listening
and viewing as well as leaving a very com-
fortable dance floor.
Continuing past the stage and heading
outside, it opens up into a large big-tree-
shaded lawn with eight picnic
tables, an outdoor stage
and a bar that can
accommodate up
to 200 hundred
people com-
fortably.
If you are
there on a
Saturday
or Sunday
morning,
y o u m a y
notice that
a lot of folks
are drinking Bacon
Bloody Mary’s.
If you are there any time, you cannot
help but notice the strong commitment to
becoming one of the premier music venues
in the Fox Valley.
“Our goal at the Short Branch is to
provide a great evening out for all of our
customers,” said manager Jason Rothe.
“We strive to provide many genres of local
talent without a cover charge or overpriced
drinks.”
“I’ve got to give a shout out to our
owner, Lorrie Davis,” Rothe added, “for
providing us with a great vision and the
support to accomplish great things. Music
is our number one priority and, not only
are we committed to making The Short
Branch a top music destination, we’d like
to work with other venues to make Neenah
a great music destination.”
Special events are coming up as well.
“One of the highlights to mark on your
calendars is our annual corn roast, July
11th, with many great bands headlined
by The Presidents all day and night. Also,
make plans to be at our end of the summer
luau in August that includes a pig roast and
the limbo out in the backyard!”
Rothe emphasized that the changes and
improvements are still coming.
“We plan on continuing with the cur-
rent remodeling that many are seeing as
well as adding a kitchen,” he said.
“One of our objectives is to
have a Friday fish fry that
will accommodate our
inside guests and out-
side in our spacious
backyard!”
The Short
Branch offers
three different
regular music
“nights” each
week, starting
on Wednesdays
with Classic Rock
running from 6 p.m. to 9
p.m. In July and August, Bobby Evans and
Russ Reiser perform on alternate Wednes-
days.
On Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.,
the Valley Unplugged series is offering
A-Town Unplugged, Cool Waters and
Christopher Gold.
The musically diverse Summer Show-
case presents The Presidents on July 11,
Consult The Briefcase on July 18 and
Crankin’ Yankees on July 25. The August
lineup includes Red Light Saints, Leading
The Blind, Dead Horses, Miles Nielson
and The Mustache.

NEWS & VIEWS  //  MEDIA RANTS
BY TONY PALMERI
A majority of American adults avoid
participation in public discussion of issues.
Given that so much of what passes for
public discourse is infected with the twin
poisons of prepackaged partisan talking
points and mindless put downs of oppos-
ing views, avoidance behavior should not
be surprising.
Unfortunately, citizen withdrawal from
the public sphere has real consequences.
When uncontested bad ideas dominate,
policy makers feel empowered to make
them into law. The fact that the 400
wealthiest individuals on the Forbes 400
list have more wealth than the bottom 150
million Americans combined is a testament
to the power of narrow monied interests to
get “reverse Robin Hood” economic policy
ideas taken seriously.
How can people become more engaged
in solving the problems caused by an
unhealthy public sphere? Clearly education
has to be part of the solution. As a teacher
in a Department of Communication at
UW Oshkosh that states as its mission
helping students to “find their voice,” I
am always looking for ways to encourage
public engagement. The rest of this rant
describes a seminar I taught in the spring
of this year designed to provide students
with some tools necessary to analyze and
evaluate discourse in the public sphere, and
hopefully “raise the bar” for such discourse
when choosing to enter that sphere them-
selves.
The seminar was called “Rhetoric in
Action.” At the most basic level, rhetoric
is the “art of persuasion.” The goal in the
course was to expose students to writers in
the public sphere for whom persuasion is
the major purpose for writing. Newspa-
per op-ed writers represent probably the
best example of the kind of persuaders
I had in mind, so I assigned each of the
22 enrolled students a writer that they
followed all semester. The assigned writers
were Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman,
David Brooks, Maureen Dowd, Frank
Bruni, Gail Collins, and Ross Douthat of
the New York Times; Leonard Pitts, Jr. of
the Miami Herald; Dana Milbank, Eugene
Robinson, Kathleen Parker, Katrina
vandenHeuvel, Jennifer Rubin, Richard
Cohen, E.J.Dionne, Jr., George Will, and
Charles Krauthammer of the Washington
Post; Meghan Daum and Doyle McManus
of the Los Angeles Times; Ezra Klein and
Matt Yglesias of Vox.com; and John Nich-
ols of the Madison Capital Times.
My main criteria in selecting the writers
were: (1) the writer needed to be engaged
consistently in writing about major public
policy issues, (2) the writer needed to
write for a mainstream source, and (3) the
writer needed to have a substantial follow-
ing. Obviously many writers meet those
criteria, so I tried to arrive at a balance of
liberal, moderate, and conservative voices.
My own familiarity with the 22 writers was
also a consideration; knowing about the
writers in advance made it easier for me
to determine if students were representing
them accurately in their assigned papers for
the course.
The course textbook was The Rhetori-
cal Act: Thinking, Speaking, and Writing
Critically by professors Karlyn Campbell,
Susan Huxman, and Thomas Burkholder.
The writers conceptualize a successful
rhetorical act as one that employs the
resources of evidence, argument, organiza-
tion, and language to overcome challenges
making persuasion difficult. Those chal-
lenges arise from audience (they often
misinterpret messages and are resistant to
change), subject and purpose (subjects can
be complex and saying yes to the purpose
might cost too much), and the rhetor him
or herself (a writer’s prior reputation might
get in the way of accepting his or her cur-
rent argument).
Students wrote many short papers
analyzing how their assigned writer tried
to overcome specific rhetorical challenges,
leading to wonderful classroom discussions
about public issues and the manner in
which mainstream writers frame them. As
the semester went on most seemed to be
disturbed by how little the writers address
issues of concern to young people; debt,
lack of enough good paying jobs, and the
environment to name just three examples.
I found myself reminding them frequently
that the answer was simple: write and speak
about the issues you care about. Make a
commitment to the public sphere.
The final assignment was a lengthy
paper requiring the student to evaluate
his or her assigned writer based on artistic
quality, effectiveness, accuracy, and/or
ethics. These were some of the most intel-
ligent and enjoyable papers I’ve read in a
while. A good number of students were
drawn to the ethical standard, which looks
favorably on rhetoric that promotes social
harmony and unfavorably on that which
promotes discord. One student told me
that a politiEthics.com website would be
more valuate than politiFact. I told her she
should start it.
As a result of this course, one student
was motivated to publish his own op-ed
(on the topic of student debt) for the stu-
dent Advance Titan newspaper. Another
submitted her final paper (arguing that the
NYT’s Frank Bruni weds a sense of comic,
tragic, and history like a modern Shake-
speare) to the Oshkosh Scholar journal of
student scholarship.
Like the majority of liberal arts courses
offered at the UW, “Rhetoric in Action”
provided students with a meaningful
opportunity to think critically about civic
responsibility. Such opportunities make it
more likely that graduates will pay critical
attention to what is going on in Madison
and Washington. Perhaps that is why so
many politicians want to reduce the UW
mission to mere concern with job skills.

Mayor of Neenah
BY GEORGE HALAS
Given that one of the songs on this CD
has been nominated for an international
award, this reviewer believes that he is not
going out on a limb in stating that “My
Desire of You” is a great album and argu-
ably the best yet from Jamie Lyn Fletcher.
She has an excellent voice and tastefully
subdued vocal style that creates intrigue
and a certain journey-into-the-unknown
feel. She complements her voice by choos-
ing keys and notes lower than most female
vocalist, again creating intrigue. Her songs
often sound like the music that sets up the
scary part of the movie…or is it romance…
or is it both? She is also an outstanding –
again intriguing – lyricist.
The title/opening track, “My Desire
For You” is a tune that gets you on the first
bass note and keeps you with an intoxicat-
ing beat and intelligent, inventive lyrics
that sit perfectly on top of her piano-driven
groove. She leaves one wondering if she
truly embraces her desire; the lyrical twists
will encourage multiple listens.
The award-nominated (see “The Span-
ish Inquisition” in this issue for detail)
“I’ll Kiss You In The Rain” has that same
multiple-listenable quality. It features a
Brazilian tempo sparked by Fletcher’s styl-
ish piano augmented by rhythmic guitar
and includes sweet chord, tempo and
mood changes. Her vocal sets an emotion-
ally evocative tone that brings out the
happy.
Fletcher lures you into “Dangerous
Beautiful” with an acoustic guitar intro
then traps in a harmonic and intensity
build that definitely sounds dangerous…
but captivating. She uses a jazzier guitar to
take you into a rather tastefully adult “In
My Dreams.” She needs only an acoustic
guitar to present the case her heart vs. her
soul in “Unresolved.”
She is very pleased with the sound and
feel of the entire album and a newly discov-
ered emotional vulnerability.
“Having the most amazing recording
engineer and producer on the planet doesn’t
hurt either,” she emphasized.  “Marc Golde
broke me, I don’t know how many times,
in the studio over getting into the right
emotional place on each song. He would
accept nothing less.  Who knew rocker
guys could be so sensitive.  He might kill
me for repeating this, but regarding “What
Now,” he says ‘this makes me want to just
to go ice skating with Audrey Hepburn in
Central Park.”  
Had this reviewer thinking of lacing up
the skates as well, but it’s a song that would
work well with wine and a fire.
“And Marc’s board,” Fletcher said, “this
is my first album on ‘that board’ - Vintage
analog 30 channel API Aengus Model 73-
one of only two ever made.  Play it through
a set of old beastly analog speakers and the
cellos will dance around the room while
I w h i s p e r
the lyrics in
your ear.  It
is sometimes
unnervingly
i n t i m a t e .  
You hear every spit crackle and every breath. 
The only effect used was an authentic plate
reverb.   Marc had the vision for this work
and executed it immaculately, as did the
musicians and beautiful photographer
Sofia of Sofia Imagery. You have to see the
cover – wow! The album was mastered at
Sterling Audio in New York which pushed
the vision right over the top.”
The songs on this album will also
sound great live, so it might be a good idea
to catch Jamie Lyn Fletcher at one of her
upcoming gigs and grab a CD there. You

nominated “The Fool” from her 2012
release “Jamie” as well as her schedule at

ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION
BY GEORGE HALAS
The Inquisition and those in-the-know
in northeast Wisconsin have known for
some time that Jamie Lynn Fletcher is
one of the best and most creative singer-
musician-composers.
But it’s not just Wisco – the world is
now taking notice.
The Green Bay-based Fletcher was
named by Music Resource Group (MRG)
as one of five 14th Independent Music
Awards nominees in the Jazz with Vocals
Category for her song “I’ll Kiss You In The
Rain” from her new album “My Desire of
You.”
IMA nominations in more than 80
categories spanned over the globe from
nearly 30 countries. The eclectic mix of
established and rising talent was culled
from thousands of submissions. Winners
will be determined by a panel of influ-
ential artist and industry judges such as
Arturo Sandoval, Jane Monheit, Suzanne
Vega, Sharon Jones, “Weird Al” Yankovic,
Lila Downs, Judy Collins, Raul Midón,
Amanda Palmer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd,
Shelby Lynne, Chris Wood & Oliver Wood
(The Wood Brothers), Anthony DeCurtis
(Rolling Stone), as well as numerous talent
elites.
In addition to the winners selected by
the Artist & Industry judges, music fans
from around the world have until Friday,
July 31, 2015 to vote for their favorite
Nominees at The Vox Pop Jukebox, the
fan-determined portion of The IMAs.
“It is quite the honor and I’m humbled
at the positive response. There certainly has
been an increased demand for what I do
since the nomination, and it has encour-
aged me to continue testing the album in a
more international realm,” Fletcher said. “I
will not rest on the laurels of the nomina-
tion, though. You are only as good as what
you produce right now. It is such an honor
to have this nomination, but an even
bigger honor to have fans support their
favorite independent music, uncontrolled
by commerciality and written for quality-
minded music lovers.”
This was not the first time she has been
honored.
“The Fool,” a cut off her 2012 release,
“Jamie,” made it as a finalist in the 2013
International John Lennon Songwriting
Competition.  
“It’s about making a mistake that
most of us have made and I still get so
many requests for it on my live shows as it
resonates with the human experience,” she
said.
Fletcher’s star has been rising in Europe
as well as she has made several trips over
the last couple years.
“The past two years I’ve been focus-
ing on finding the right sound,” she said. 
“It was impossible to do until I realized I
had to start being true to myself and the
music that I wanted to produce: something
tender and gentle that cannot be pigeon-
holed because it is just ‘music.’ There was
also a process of facing my biggest fears of
loving and being loved.  Sometimes you
get run over by inspiration or a situation
and you can’t run away any more.  The new
album is the beginning of letting go.”
Her European experiences serve as a
musical travelogue.  
“Europe is so vast,” Fletcher said “but
you can drive all day and pass through sev-
eral cultures and languages, unlike in the
States.  Irony and a few good friends have
brought me to Austria on tour several times
over the past few years. Vienna is so rich in
history, architecture, music, and art; every-
one loves live entertainment. Their tastes
bend more towards the early American
‘traditional’ jazz music of pre-WWII and
then jump into rockabilly, skipping over
much of the Western world’s music from
the 1930’s & 40’s as it was banned under
Hitler. Poodle skirts and bobby socks are
a rave in many clubs now, but there is a
burgeoning niche who appreciates original
music as well as the Great American Song
Book, which is where my musical heart
likes to hang out.  It’s pure elegance.”
And the music scene in London? 
“Amazingly rich in all styles and they
are over-the-top with the funk.  No short-
age of groove,” she said. “Belgium leans
more towards hard jazz and be-bop and
France remains unchanged with their love
for everything sultry and chanteuse. Oslo
was a complete surprise as my second eve-
ning led me to a concert by Norway’s prob-
ably most-predominant pop artist, Bjørn
Eidsvag. My brain had no idea what he
was singing, but his music penetrates into a
deep place in the soul, which attests to the
universality of the music language.  I was
blessed to later meet with him for lunch
and an interview.” 
“My third night I stumbled upon an
American-style big band complete with
the Andrew sisters,” she added.  “For a self-
proclaimed ‘amateur band’ (one is consid-
ered amateur if their main income is not in
performing music), they nailed it.  I spent
the rest of my time exploring the scene and
playing my butt off nearly every night in
every style of music - regardless of spoken
language.  I was warmly accepted on stage
in all situations and hope to return soon.”
The album proved to be somewhat of a
metaphysical quest.
“This new album is completely dif-
ferent from anything I have done,” she
said. “I met an incredible individual, Marc
Golde, who turned my being inside out,
challenged me in every way, forced me to
address my deepest fears, and impacted me
enough to finally stop running from myself
in my most hidden self-destruction.   The
new album is an examination of the baby
steps of the process...the hesitations, the
fears, the wants, the desires, the dark edges,
the joyful light, and the hopes of maybe
one day being able to fully trust and love.”  
“Sometimes I listen to it and I don’t
even recognize myself - did I write that?”
she continued.  “The music is extremely
subtle and tender with multiple meanings,
but hopefully something that everyone can
relate to if they pay close attention.  There
were several times I had to question exactly
who I was speaking to in the music - to my
inspiring person, to God, or to myself - not
to confuse any of them with each other,
of course.  This new work is an admission
of vulnerability- something I once swore I
would never let out.   But there is no art
without vulnerability.”
Fletcher will be back in town in July
and August for multiple gigs in Green Bay,
DePere and Door County. For a complete
schedule - and while you’re there, you can

a couple other older originals) – go to her

What happens when you pair $18 million
in beach and park improvements, the crystal
clear waters of Green Bay, and Reggae, Roots
and Rock? The Midwest Sunsplash Music
Festival in its new home in Sister Bay, Door
County!
This August 7-8, the new Waterfront stage
in Sister Bay hosts the first new major music
festival to hit Door County in a decade. A line
up of 9 musical acts, an eclectic mix of food
and drink vendors, and sellers of groovy goods
will bring a fresh vibe to the village and give
people an opportunity to check out the newly
completed beach and Waterfront Park.
“Midwest SunSplash is a fun and funky
new venture for Sister Bay, that will ideally
make people take another look at Sister Bay as
a place to visit,” said Zeke Jackson, administra-
tor for the Village of Sister Bay. “This event is
an opportunity to showcase the new public
waterfront in an active and vibrant way. Sister
Bay is the place for young, active families to
relax and make fun memories. “
Village President David Lienau confirmed
Jackson’s sentiments, adding, “This will attract
new visitors that haven’t been to Sister Bay or
Door County, and give people who haven’t
been in a while a reason to come back.”
The connection with Sister Bay and the
Midwest Sunsplash (MWSS) event was a ser-
endipitous one. Unity the Band played the first
ever concert on the new Sister Bay Stage July
31, 2014. After the show, Unity lead singer
Pita Katobalavu and Sister Bay Advancement
Association Director Paige Funkhouser chat-
ted about the new venue, music and SBAA’s
desire to bring a music festival to the Village.
Thus, Midwest SunSplash found a new home.
MWSS began as a concert series by Kato-
balavu and his partner, Kay Halbrook. They
were looking to grow the series, and for a new,
better venue than previously used.
“Unity headlining the first concert at the
new Waterfront Pavilion last summer packed
the park,” Funkhouser said. “It was a perfect
night: warm, beautiful sunset, people on boats
listening to the jams. The energy of Pita’s
band and their really positive messages created
beautiful atmosphere on the waterfront. Unity
drew a huge crowd with a fantastically diverse
mix of ages and personalities. Zeke (Jackson)
and I started talking with Pita and from there
the festival idea grew into what people will
experience Aug. 7 and 8.”
Funkhouser, Jackson, Katobalavu and
Halbrook met in November over sushi at
Bonsai in De Pere, and started planning this
year’s event as a soft opening of the new water-
front. A Joint Effort Marketing grant from the
Wisconsin Department of Tourism was writ-
ten, and awarded to help promote the event.
The grant award is funding the traditional and
social media marketing to attract visitors from
around the Midwest to the event. The state’s
tourism marketing arm was onboard with
the goal of inviting younger people and more
diverse visitors to the state and Door County.
August 8 will be an art and music-filled
day on the water in Sister Bay. Sister Bay
Advancement Association will also host the
13th annual Door County Festival of Fine
Arts in Waterfront Park on the north side of
the Sister Bay Village Hall. This festival show-
cases Door County fine artists, who sell, and
demonstrate their craft throughout the day,
10 - 5 p.m.
“By pairing these two events, people
attending Midwest SunSplash can spend their
day perusing fine art at the Door County
Festival of Fine Arts, and learning how art-
ists create,” Funkhouser explained. “DCFA
will also have live music throughout the day
to put people in the mood for MWSS. Door
County’s successful art scene will help draw
people to MWSS, and people who have come
for the new music will get to experience the
vibrant art scene in Door County.”
Katobalavu handpicked the entertainment
to represent diverse music styles, with the idea
to appeal to the usual Door County crowds,
with aspiration to attract new visitors who
may not have been to the peninsula.
“My band has played all over in Door
County, at Fishstock and other events for
many years, and I love the warm welcomes we
receive,” Katobalavu said. “I wanted to make
sure we brought up great musicians that will
entertain the local people who are exposed to
lots of great talent all the time. I also chose
bands for their geographic location and the
size of their fan base. The bands will invite
their fans to come up to Door County and
hear their favorite band in a new location. Did
we mention you’ll be able to swim while listen-
ing to the music?”
The festival kicks off Friday, August 7
at 4 p.m. with three bands playing on the
Waterfront Stage until 9 p.m. Saturday’s line
up features six bands playing from 2 p.m. until

Midnight.
Honey & the 45’s kicked off their 2015
touring season by opening for Smash Mouth
in North Carolina, and are including Midwest
Sunsplash in their busy schedule. Katobalavu
first connected with them through a fan in
Rockford, and in his search for unique acts for
MWSS, he thought they really stood out.
“Their folk/blues/funk combo is really
kick-ass,” saaid Katobalavu. “Having two
women musicians out front isn’t something
you see too often!”
Lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Kris-
tina Cottone shares the stage with Kim Kozel,
who sings and plays saxophone and violin in this
Chicago-based group. Kottone and Kozel are
joined by lead guitarist Jon Gould, Sean Tatum
on bass, and drummer Jarad Kleinstein. Among
their credentials is a Best Blues/Jazz Band honor
in 2014 from the Chicago Independent Music
Awards. They recently released their second
album “MAD.” They will kick off Saturday’s line
up at 2 p.m. on the Sister Bay Stage.
Natty Nation will draw their fans from
Madison and southern Wisconsin to Door
County, with the lure of a great Friday night
headliner show at MWSS. Traditionally, Sun-
splash festivals are known for the Reggae mes-
sage of peace, love and unity, and Natty Nation
has been touring and playing those positive
vibrations since 1995. A steady back up band
for such legends as Lee “Scratch” Perry and
Chaka Demus & Pliers, they have a tight dub-
based sound that attracts reggae purists as well
as seekers of roots-rock-reggae.
Other bands performing during the two
day event include: Katobalavu’s Unity the
Band, Whiskey of the Damned, Recalcitrant,
Big Wig Mechanics, Wifee & the Huzz Band,
and Earth to Clark.
For a full festival experience, camping
is available for festival goers at the Sister Bay
Sports Complex, with a separate area for tents
and RVs. Starting at 9 p.m. Friday night,
MWSS ticket holders will be treated to an
acoustic “after-hours” campfire music jam at
the camping area hosted by Door County’s
own Mary Jane Gang.
“Camping really makes the festival by
adding a communal setting for people to share
and chill during and after MWSS. The Village
of Sister Bay has helped make this happen, and
they are building a bonfire for Friday night’s
acoustic jam, and will shoot off fireworks
Friday night,” said Funkhouser.
To create a festival atmosphere, MWSS
is looking for food and drink vendors, and
arts and crafts vendors, that will fit with the
Reggae-Roots-Rock vibe.
“We would love to bring locally sourced
foods and drinks that include healthy options
mixed in with summer treats to our festival,
and that has been the focus of our search for
unique vendors,” festival manager Kay Hal-
brook said. “The arts and crafts vendors will be
distinctly different than the artists showcased
in the Door County Festival of Fine Arts.
We have a multi-cultural focus, with people
sharing ethnic rituals like the Fijian Kava
Ceremony and Henna Tattoo Artists, along
with people selling natural and peace-building
goods and native arts.”
The musical lineup for the day will take
the stage on the Sister Bay Waterfront Stage,
except Friday night after 9 p.m.:
Midwest SunSplash Music Festival is
Friday from 4-9 p.m. at the Sister Bay Stage
in Waterfront Park, 10693 North Bay Shore
Drive, Highway 42, Sister Bay. Friday’s enter-
tainment will move to the nearby Sister Bay
Sports Complex (2155 Autumn Court) from 9
p.m. – midnight. Saturday, the festival grounds
open at noon with music from 2 p.m. to
midnight at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront
Park.
Tickets are $30 for General Admission and
$10 per person for camping. Tickets are avail-
able online at www.midwestsunsplash.com and
at the door the day of the event. Children 10
and under are free.

ENTERTAINMENT // ROCK USA
BY JANE SPIETZ
It’s hard to believe that the world class
Rock USA festival is about to recognize
its 5th anniversary! Its mission still applies
today: “To deliver the maximum Rock
Festival experience while still offering a
very affordable ticket. To listen to what the
fans want and cater to their experience in
the best way we can. ...and finally to deliver
a kick-ass line up year in, and year out.” 
This year’s line up will be no excep-
tion to the rule, with headliners Alice
Cooper, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd,
Judas Priest, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged
Sevenfold and many great supporting acts
scheduled to perform.
I touched base with Rock USA pro-
moter Dan Liebhauser recently to get the
scoop on this year’s event. 
Jane Spietz: Rock USA is about to cele-
brate its 5th anniversary! How has this world
class event evolved over the past 5 years?
Dan Liebhauser: Five years ago Rock
USA kicked off its first year with KISS, and
attendance hit about 70,000. Last year the
attendance had grown to about 100,000.
JS: What type of feedback have you
been getting from fans?
DL: Looks like the rock fans approve
of what we’re trying to do. Our goal is to
deliver as broad a mix of rock entertain-
ment as possible. In fact, our motto is: Sold
Rock. No Limits.
JS: Tell us about the exciting line up for
this year’s event. You have forecast that it
will be a monster!
DL: Onstage for Rock USA’s 5th year is
Judas Priest, Avenged Sevenfold, Def Lep-
pard, Alice Cooper, Breaking Benjamin,
Lynyrd Skynyrd and enough power acts
to give us budget nightmares of $2 million
dollars in talent.
JS: The ‘Who Do You Want?’ poll on
the Rock USA website provides fans with
the ability to state their preferences about
whom they would like to see perform.
How much is their input taken into
account when acts are being considered?
DL: The very reason for the ‘Who Do
You Want?’ feature is to allow us to tap into
the pulse of our rock fans. This is probably
the most important piece of info we use in
buying out talent.
JS: Looking to the future, what are
your hopes for Rock USA in the next five
years?
DL: Big things happening for 2016!
We plan on spending an additional
$300,000 on talent and we want our rock
fans to follow us on social media as we roll
out some really exciting changes in the
next coming months for Rock USA 2016.
JS: Thanks, Dan. Looking forward to
another great event!

    L4  | SceneNewspaper.com | Central Wisconsin |July 2015 COVER STORY  //  IOLA CAR SHOW Iola ‘15 Highlights Annual WI Shindig is a Feast for Old Car Junkies The 2015 Iola Old Car Show will be held July 9-11 in Iola, Wis. For this year’s event, show organizers have assembled a slate of great displays and new activities to keep the show exciting. Here are just a few of the highlights of the show, which complement the enormous swap meet Iola is also known for. ‘Counting Cars’ TV star at Iola Ryan Evans, the senior airbrush artist at Count’s Kustoms and a star on the History Channel’s hit TV show “Counting Cars” will be visiting the Iola Old Car Show. Evans will be attending the show courtesy of Vintage Works, a hobbyist’s source for professional services such as sandblasting, powder coating, machining and metal fabrication. 1973 Chrysler Newport giveaway car A big, beautiful 1973 Chrysler New- port will be given away during the Iola Old Car Show’s new “Super Saturday” activities. The Chrysler will be presented to one winning attendee by its donor, the non-profit Rawhide Boys Ranch of New London, Wis. The Chrysler is a one-owner car with two build sheets. Iola Old Car Show visitors will have a chance to win the Chrysler by simply completing an entry form in the “Teamed to Learn” exhibit tent during the show. There’s more! Several additional sup- porters of the Iola Old Car Show have partnered to give away a host of other great prizes, as well. Coker Tire, the S.S. Badger, Ho-Chunk Casino, Miller Electric, Gen- eral Beer and Mitsubishi and Shoemaker Electric have each donated prizes to be given away after the Old Cars Weekly and IOLA ’15 Pass-in-Review parade, which begins at 3 p.m. Don ‘Big Daddy’ Garlits & Swamp Rat Don “Big Daddy” Garlits is a living and still-racing legend. The world-famous drag racer innovated from behind the wheel, and one of those cars to sport his innova- tions is Swamp Rat 12-A. This dragster was built in 1967 with a 137-inch-wheelbase chassis as an experiment. Garlits admit- ted it was a failure on the track. He sold it, then bought it back in 1987. Again, it then sat. In 2007, “MoPar called me to see if I would like to build a 6.4 (liter), late- model Hemi blown-fuel engine. I did and installed it into Swamp Rat 12-A,” Garlits said. Garlits will be on hand with his Swamp Rat 12-A dragster, which he’ll fire up mul- tiple times on Friday and Saturday during the show. It will lead several “cackstarts” with other period dragsters during the Iola Old Car Show from its place near the “Theme Tent.” Pace Cars & Race Cars Display Given Wisconsin’s huge role in racing, the “Pace & Race” was a natural idea for the gigantic event. Dozens of race cars and dozens of pace cars pre-registered for the Theme Area of IOLA ’15. Among the race cars, look for a 1914 Indian board track racer, a 1923 Packard Indy 500 racer, a 1970 Buick GS State 2 race car, a 1952 Cunningham C3 race car and many other restored racers. There will also be a small display of “barn find” period race cars that still show the battle scars from their heyday on the track. The pace car display includes many cars that actually paced the race at the India- napolis 500, plus a huge selection of Indy 500 pace car replicas. There will also be a unique Corvair pace car used on a race- track back in the day. 11-mile 1963 Chevrolet Impala When Gary Leidich bought his 1963 Chevrolet Impala in September 2013, a thick layer of dust and dirt belied the fact it had just 11 miles on the odometer. The Janesville, Wis.-built Impala was one of 50 unsold new Chevrolets stashed by Pierce, Neb., car dealer Ray Lambrecht beginning in the 1950s. Lambrecht’s collection of “new old” C h e v r o l e t s was auctioned in September 2013, and since buying the car at that auction, Leidich has thor- oughly cleaned the Impala and made it run. He looks forward to sharing the car at the 2015 Iola Old Car Show and learning more about it from show attendees who may have had a hand in building the car at the Janesville assembly plant. 60-mile 1973 Ford Mustang When Ford announced it would stop building Mustang convertibles at the end of the 1973 model year, a Wisconsin Mustang convertible owner ran out and ordered a new one as back up to her 1966 and 1968 Mustang convertibles. She never needed the 1973 Mustang convertible — she’s still driving her 1968 droptop. In 2014, she sold her unused 1973 Mustang convertible with 37 miles on the odometer. The new Wisconsin owner has since accu- mulated a couple dozen more miles on the odometer, and it now reads 60 miles. The unrestored 1973 Mustang will be featured next to the low-mileage 1963 Impala con- vertible in the “Teamed to Learn” tent. Elio prototype A prototype from America’s newest car company will debut to Iola Old Car Show attendees. The Elio P4 prototype will be dis- played at the Iola Old Car Show near the “Teamed to Learn” tent by Jerome Vassallo, vice president of sales for Elio Motors of Phoenix, Ariz. Vassallo will be passing out information and answering questions while allowing show attendees to try on the Elio prototype for size. Pass-in-Review In association with the Iola Old Car Show, Old Cars Weekly will present a Pass- in-Review parade at 3 p.m. on Saturday during the event. The parade will feature many of the show cars in the Blue Ribbon Concours, Theme Tent and other areas of the show. Many of the cars to be featured in the Pass-in-Review are previous Old Cars Weekly cover cars, or will be soon. The Pass-in-Review will be held between the Iola Old Car Show Activity Center and the Old Cars Weekly office building, adjacent to the “Theme Tent.” ‘Class of ’64’ factory light- weight drag cars Star quarterbacks from the MoPar and Ford campuses will be part of a special “Class of ’64” display in the “Pace & Race” Theme Tent of IOLA ’15. Seth Rohde will be bringing two MoPar factory drag cars — a 1964 Plymouth drag raced as “The Hairbender” and a 1965 Dodge originally raced as “The High and Mighty.” Both cars are very rare and sport the new-for-1964 Hemi performance engine. Jack Hazelgren will be bringing “The Little Rattler,” a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt. The coupe packs a 427-cid Ford V-8 and represents the mid-size factory Ford light- weight race cars that tore up racetracks across the country in ’64, sometimes competing with the Hemi lightweights like those owned by Rohde.

    L6  | SceneNewspaper.com | Central Wisconsin |July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // SERIOUSLY FUNNY Our active arts community is a wonderful human complement to the natural beauty for which we have long been known. —Bryan Smith, Mayor of the City of Waupaca BY JEAN DETJEN The Waupaca Community Arts Board (WCAB) will be hosting its 9th Annual Waupaca Arts on the Square (AOTS) in Downtown Waupaca Thursday, August 13 through Saturday, August 15. This dynamic celebration of the arts features live music, interactive arts workshops, fine art, dance, and a community art project. “The Waupaca community has a long history of volun- teers coming together to promote the arts and arts appre- ciation,” says Bryan Smith, Mayor of the City of Waupaca. “From a few dedicated people working to provide artistic exposure to the community, our arts community has grown to include a very sizable artist community and many dif- ferent arts organizations and arts related businesses of all kinds.” WCAB founder Marci Reynolds, who is a musician in the local favorite band Baba Ghanooj, agrees. “The inten- tional creation of creative events began in Waupaca about 20 years ago, with a core group of like-minded people coming together and sharing their vision for our small rural town. This group had so much fun brainstorming and cre- ating events that they started to feel guilty that the general public could not participate. This caused the core group to expand and try to be more accessible to the public.  With many agendas that included no holds barred creativity, unlimited fun, the peace movement, and the idea that if we have to live in a small town it had better be interesting, the group pursued public non-profit status and endeavored to engage with the entire community. The richness of life is based upon really valuing every member of our community, and understanding that we are all part of what makes up our local society.” Reynolds notes that as a musician, she knows the special feeling of being able to express yourself musically. “Part of the mission of the WCAB is to create situations where anyone can experience, on many levels, the satisfaction and thrill of creativity.”   “The AOTS festival started out as a way to celebrate all aspects of creativity of our community,” adds Bev Crane, chair of the Art Jury Committee. “We started out with the goal of trying to get 30 to 40 high quality artists who would, over the years, form the foundation of the festival. The plan was that this foundation would then be embellished by musical acts, theatrical acts, dance and more. A major push was to include ways in which community members could come to the festival and not only enjoy what they saw and heard, but become involved in various ways, through the creative process.” This year, in addition to 40 artists, and 3 entertainment stages, there are 9 interactive arts workshops including children’s art workshops led by artists, a poetry workshop, music workshop, dance, community art projects and more.

Festivities kick-off in a community known for its dynamic and thriving artistic community on Thursday, August 13 with events sponsored by Waupaca’s retailers group, Waupaca King and In Between. These events start with a chalking competition entitled Adopt a Square in which local retail- ers adopt a city square sidewalk square for youth to share their chalk art renditions that can earn them prizes in design competition. Local retailers will have spent the entire previous week chalking outside of their own establishments, in the traditional competi- tive chalking which will also be judged by WCAB members. Capping off this evening, the Waupaca Middle School band will per- form on the square at 5 pm, with chalking awards being announced at 5:30. “The retail association has also been more involved every year, with this year’s plans being to extend the festival another whole day with various youth and music and chalk events,” says Anita Olson, a local retailer who heads up the group Waupaca King and In Between that is advocating for new ways to boost the creative economy. Friday evening in Downtown Waupaca, the Family Friendly street dance will fea- ture National recording artists Davina and the Vagabonds from 7 - 10:30pm playing Americana, jazz and blues. Fire Spinner Broegy Pease and friends will entertain at the band’s break. Food, beer and beverages are available all evening. Events continue Saturday, from 10 - 4 pm with 40 fine artists filling the Down- town Waupaca square. The artists will provide their juried exhibits, competing for cash awards. Their art will be available for sale to the public. Three stages of live entertainment include Tom Pease, bluegrass band Ukelyp- tus, original music from Boston’s Hillary Reynolds, alternative band Kyle Megna and the Monsoons, and local rock favorites Ho Malone.

This tent will also feature periodic dance by the Shu- vani Tribal belly dancers. The Bandstand stage will feature Ari- zona’s Anasazi flute player Vibhas Kendzia, Classical violins and strings form the Aber Suzuki Studio, the Kari Esbensen String Quartet, and the One for the Road Barber- shoppers. The newly added Poetry Stage gives voice to original poets reading their work throughout the day. Poets include local favorites Patricia Reckrey and Jane Peter- son, as well as National poet Lynn Gentry who will also write spontaneous street poetry throughout the day. The Waupaca High School Dead Poets Society who will host a Poetry Slam. Part of this stage will be a community workshop dedicated to learning about and writing Haiku, with the creation of a community Haiku display that will be installed outside at Office Out- fitters. Street performers will add to the eclec- tic wide variety of entertainment at 2014 Arts on the Square. New to 2015 will be a Pleine Aire group, which is a group of professional artists dedicated to painting from life and to using field studies as the inspiration for studio works. The group will be rotating around the festival grounds, painting what inspires them throughout the day. There will also be a live foosball exhibit with local adult soccer teams compet- ing. Since a large part of Arts on the Square is to emphasize not only appreciation, but also participation in the arts, there will again be a wide vari- ety of interactive arts opportunities and workshops, including a large community art project called Circle of Community in which everyone can participate in creating a piece of art that will be put together the day of the festival. Also offered are 3 children’s art workshops, a quilting work- shop, a henna workshop, and more. The workshops are designed for all ages and led by artists enhance the belief that every person is creative. All workshops are free, and are ongoing throughout the entire day on Saturday. As always, a variety of culinary delights will be available with beverages and beer on the grounds all day Saturday. There will also be an expanded farmer’s market on site. All performances and workshops at Arts on the Square are free. Arts on the Square is funded by ThedaCare, Com- munity First Credit Union; the City of Waupaca, many generous local donors and community members. It’s a big undertaking but Waupaca arts supporters are tenacious in their efforts. “Many people get involved out of sheer enthusiasm for a particular idea or concept,” says Reynolds, who chairs the Festival Planning Committee. “These ideas are manifested during many a brainstorm- ing session at official WCAB meetings, between friends, or at local establishments such as Weasel’s restaurant. Every year the ideas get more intricate and elaborate, with the belief that anything is possible in a small rural town.” The group’s commitment to the cause is in the details of how all the pieces came together. “A key feature this year that is an example of a leap of faith is the fact that the national touring band Davina and the Vagabonds will be the featured act for the Friday Night Street Dance,” Reynolds said. “This professional act, with accom- plished musicianship and an engaging show, played over 250 gigs per year here in the US and abroad. The planning commit- tee was able to take the risk of booking this act due to their sincere faith that the com- munity would somehow come through, which is exactly what happened with an anonymous philanthropist entering the arena to make up the difference. This is an example of how the Waupaca community is behind the vision for AOTS. Not only supporting in a monetary fashion, but by volunteering time and sweat equity to create this festival.” The mayor of Waupaca, Brian Smith, and the city council are all in support of AOTS, with not only their financial sup- port via a generous annual grant, but also by proclaiming August to be “Arts Appre- ciation Month” in Waupaca. Arts on the Square has grown to be a landmark summer event in Waupaca, and Waupaca is becoming known in and beyond the Chain O’ Lakes for its robust arts scene. “With the power of relationship and creativity, we are able to continu- ally grow in quality and innovativeness, and hope to someday expand this event to cover even more days filled with more local participation and fun for our entire community!” Reynolds said.  “Waupaca is where it’s at!” For more information visit waupa- caarts.org.

    R2  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 FOOD & DRINK  //  BREWMASTER BY STEVE LONSWAY The Stone Arch Brew House brewery team has always been fond of the beers Surly makes and with a few recent trips to the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area, we were able to get an ample supply. Unfortunately our stock wore thin. Good for us and other beer aficionados, Surly beers can now be found right here is Wisconsin. When this news broke we were quick to call our distributor to land some of these fine brews for our Tap Room (and personal stash as well). The truly hard part was to find the one brand we wanted to write about. We ended up choos- ing the one we were most unfamiliar with… Overrated! Surly Overrated is a self-proclaimed “Pale gold American (West Coast) IPA with fruity-citrus aromas from generous dry hop- ping”. Our team used goblets for our Surly sampling experience. Here is what we found: The beer poured a true golden blond color and produced a golden hue head that consisted primarily of tightly formed CO2 bubbles. Unanimously we noticed a definite haze to an almost cloudy appearance. Typically dry hopped beers will appear hazy which is nothing more than a visual thing, nothing that should steer you away. Some breweries will filter the haze out, but unfortunately it also strips some of the hop character out as well. The nose (or scent) of this beer screams hops! Floral, citrusy, earthy, musty, grapefruit are all words our team used to describe it. A couple of us thought it was absent of the piney tones that are typical in a West Coast IPA. It was still quite pleasurable however. As you would expect with a beer like this, our teams notes on the taste/flavor portion of this beer was pretty diverse. I person- ally noticed a malt forward push with Craig noticing caramel in the flavor. The other guys reported a lack of malt tones. A definite earthy tone came through with Taylor, Brian and Craig all noting a boozy or alcoholic flavor popping in. Very hop forward was the overall consensus. Citrus and floral definitely shines through on the palette and the medium body was just right for the style. Surly Overrated finishes strong, both in hop character with its bitterness and warming from the presence of alcohol. Taylor com- mented that it finishes almost like a lemon- lime soda. None-the-less it finishes clean and dry with a slight warming effect. Surly Brewing got their start in 2004 when an aspiring brewer convinced his parents and wife to convert the family abrasives business into a brewery. In order to be a brewery you need to brew beer and Surly did just that in December, 2005. With the help of heavy metal music and incorrectly operating fermenter controls, the first batch of Surly became reality on December 30th , 2005. Two months later they hit the streets to sell their flagship brew Furious. Furious was a bit ahead of its time and not well received at first by the local bars and restaurants but fortunately they have since come around. Then, good news came in June of 2007 when BeerAdvocate magazine named Surly Brewing the Best Brewery in America which was shortly followed up by more good news that RateBeer named Surly Darkness the best American beer in the world. With such fine accolades on their resume, they inspired to grow to not only handle increased demand, but to have a destination brewery where people can watch the beer being brewed, drink it and enjoy a fine meal as well. Only one problem prevented this dream from coming to fruition – an outdated, Prohibition-era Minnesota law. This law prevented breweries from selling their beer from their location (crazy, isn’t it?). Surly immediately went to work to change that law but soon realized it may be a bigger task then even they could handle. So what did they do? They turned to Surly Nation and encouraged them via social media to contact their legisla- tors to help turn that law into history. On May 24, 2011 the then Minnesota Governor signed the “Surly Bill” into law allowing breweries that produce less than 250,000 barrels of beer annaully to sell their works at their breweries. Two years later, Surly broke ground on their next adventure…a destination brewery. Finally in December 2014, after a record breaking cold winter and record spring rain- fall, Surly opened their doors to an amazing facility that truly is a destination. Brewery, beer hall, restaurant, banquet hall and amaz- ing beer garden await you in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota bordering Minneapolis. FINAL WORD: Surly Overrated! Is truly overrated…in name only. A great beer, in a great package, by a great brewery. Cheers!

    R6  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 FOOD & DRINK  //  FROM THE WINE CAVE BY KIMBERLY FISHER V i v a La France! France is a place of many wonders and has many unique grape growing areas. The Rhone Valley is the oldest established winemaking region in France dating back 600 years before the Romans. Although the Rhone is considered one wine region, it is divided into two distinct parts based on climate and grape variety. The Northern Rhone comprises less than five percent of the total production, but makes some of the area’s most amazing white and red wine. The region is 45 miles long and has the influence of the Mistral winds that are intense and cold. Grape growing is dominated by two varieties. Red wine is made with the Syrah grape most famously grown in Cornas and Cote Rotie. The Cornas region is over 130 hectares with a warm continental climate. The region is ancient; over 300 million years old, planted exclusively to Syrah. White wine made in Northern Rhone is made from the Viognier grape most famously in Condrieu. Cote Rotie also known as the “Roasted Slope,” is a region that is over 1500 years old. The vines are grown on steep Roman Terraces. It has the lowest production per hectares and some of the highest altitude vineyards primarily given over to Syrah and Viognier. Other white varietals permitted in the north are Marsanne and Roussanne. In Cornas, the Syrah grape is grown on granite soil allowing the grape to have power rather than finesse. One notable producer in Northern Rhone is Jean Luc Colombo. Known as a visionary for the region, he was the first to use small oak barrels and vinify in stainless steel. He is the recipient of the French Legion of Honor, which is the highest civilian honor in the country of France and has achieved over 150 scores of over 90+ points from trade publications such as Robert Parker and Wine Spectator since the winery began in 1982. The Southern Rhone is home to 95 per- cent of the valley’s grape production. The soil is primarily stones that are rounded pebbles called gallets with a mixture of shingle and stone clay. Twenty five grapes are grown in the south, but the dominant red grape is Grenache, often blended with Mourvedre and Cinsault. Leading producers in the area include E Guigal, Paul Jaboulet, Perrin and Chapoutier. Jean Luc Colombo also produces wines in the Southern Rhone region and has created a label called “Les Abeilles” (French for the bees) which features a Cotes du Rhone Red and White. As Jean has been known as the Syrah wizard, he is also known for helping to save the bees. A disease called Colony Collapse Disorder has mysteriously been decimating bee populations throughout the world, including the Rhone River Valley. Honeybees pollinate more than 90% of our flowering grapes, and over the years, the bees and their colonies are dying. Ten percent of sales of Jean Luc Colombo Cotes du Rhone Red and White go to research at UC Davis, to help research and find ways to save the bees. When in Rhone, do what the Rhon – ans do; drink Rhone wine. The ancient soils, the vast and diverse acreage and the centuries of viticulture make the Rhone River valley one of the very special wine growing areas in the world. Explore a region in France that can offer you so many nuances and taste what makes this area so unique.

    R8  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 FOOD & DRINK  // TRICIA’S TABLE BY TRISH DERGE Anybody can squish a few patty’s out of a pound of burger, toss them on the grill and singe the dickens out of them until they’re flavorless and dry as a Saharan paleontologist’s sack lunch. But if you want your guests at your cookout to enjoy their meal, and not col- lectively roll their eyes in disgust at the blackened disk you place on their bun and say, “Better load up on the condiments,” take note of a few tips from an expert. Jamie  Schweid is executive vice president/co-butcher of Schweid & Sons, a purveyor of ground beef that was founded in the late 1800’s on New York’s Lower East Side.   Jamie says:  1. Always lay the burger cheese-side down on the bun. This way your bottom bun won’t get soggy, and your burger will taste better.   2. Don’t just toss the patty on the grill.  If cooking outdoors, use a grill mat or camp griddle to ensure a nice sear and keep your patty from sticking or losing its shape. 3. Forget that frying pans even exist. If cooking on a stovetop, a cast iron skillet is the best way to get a restaurant- style crust on the patty’s exterior. 4. Fat is your friend.  For a juicy, delicious burger, opt for meat that has a 75/25 lean to fat ratio.   5. Always pre-heat and pre-oil your cooking surface. Pro tip: Cook some bacon and use the fat as your oil!   6. Don’t bother with pulling down your hood.  Closing the lid on your grill does not aid in cooking the burger, only in melting the cheese (that is, if you’re putting the cheese on top, where it definitely should not be).  7. Your patty should weigh no more than eight ounces.  Any larger than that will jeopardize your ability to cook the burger to a perfect medium rare.   8. Cold hands form the best patties. Try rubbing a piece of ice on your palms just before shaping. Wash your hands with soap and water before you get started. 9. NEVER put a burger on a non- toasted bun. The juices will run out and ruin it. The only exception to this rule is sliders, which should be served on soft or potato rolls, with cheese on the bottom, of course. Trish’s Delicious Avocado Topping I love this on top of a burger, or just on a hearty piece of toast for breakfast. • Chop three scallions and a clove of garlic, and saute in with olive oil a pan. Set aside. • In a medium bowl smoosh an avocado with a fork. • Squeeze in a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. • Add a quarter cup of crumbled blue cheese. • Fold in the onions and garlic. • Pepper to taste, and enjoy! Burger Time!

    R12  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band at EAA AirVenture! BY JANE SPIETZ Actor/humanitarian/musician Gary Sinise has enjoyed a multifaceted career. He started out playing in bands as a teenager, but became totally captivated by theater after performing in a high school production of West Side Story. Sinise went on to co-found the Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago and still supports its activities. A prolific actor, he won an Emmy for his portrayal of George Wallace on television, a Golden Globe for Truman, in which he played Harry S. Truman and he was Detec- tive Mac Taylor on CSI:NY. Sinise was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump. It was this last character that eventu- ally led to his great passion for working to support veterans and veterans’ service orga- nizations for the past thirty years. After forming the Gary Sinise & the Lt. Dan Band, Sinise and his band regularly hit the road to back these efforts, and he also makes solo appearances to help get the word out. His Gary Sinise Foundation was established in 2011 to raise funds and promote resources for servicemen and women. Sinise co-founded the Operation International Children program which ships school supply kits to troops serv- ing in conflict areas overseas. Severely wounded veterans benefit from the Gary Sinise Foundation’s building of custom Smart Homes for them. He has earned numerous notable awards for his work, such as the Presidential Citizens Medal, The Ellis Island Medal of Honor, The Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertain- ment from the Medal of Honor Society, and the Spirit of the USO Award. His most recent award was the 2015 Service to America Leadership Award from the NAB Education Foundation (NABEF). Gary Sinise called me from Los Angeles not long ago to update me on his activities, including the Lt. Dan Band’s upcoming performance at the 2015 EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh WI. Jane Spietz:  Hi Gary. You initially became hooked on acting in high school. Gary Sinise: I was playing in bands from the time I was in, like, 6th grade and hung out with the band guys a lot. Living in Glen Ellyn Illinois, I went to a produc- tion of West Side Story in high school and really liked watching the play. We then moved to Highland Park. It turns out that high school was doing West Side Story. I was standing in the hallway with some of my band members when the drama teacher walked by. He said we should come audi- tion for the play because we looked like gang members and could play them in the play. I thought that was funny and I had just seen it, so I thought I would go check it out. I was standing outside the audition watching all these pretty girls walking in, so I followed them. (Laughs) I ended up auditioning and got in the show. From that point on, all I wanted to do is act in plays and play in bands. When I graduated high school, I started a theater company called Steppenwolf which has been around now for over forty years. I’m one of the three founders of the company so I’m still involved with fundraising and some of the things going on there. JS:  Have you been involved in any acting projects lately?

    R14  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // CONCERT WATCH JULY 2015 years. So it’s been a little bit of time away from that, but I have a television series that I’m going to start shooting the end of July. It’s a spinoff of the “Criminal Minds” show on CBS. We’ll be spinning off a new series called “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.” It explores the international division of the FBI. JS: How was the Gary Sinise Founda- tion established? GS: I had been working with several military charities, involved with veterans’ groups in the ‘90s working a little bit with the DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and in the ‘80s working with Vietnam veterans groups in the Chicago area. After Septem- ber 11th, I just wanted to do something for our active duty service members who were deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq so I started volunteering for the USO and to support lots of different military charities that were popping up. I would just lend my services with the band or volunteer to help raise money or whatever I could do. After working with some of them for sev- eral years, it just became clear that the next step was for me to start my own veterans charity called the Gary Sinise Foundation. I’ve used what I’ve learned over the years in supporting men and women to try to bring some resources to help benefit them and their families. Our men and women are going to be called upon for years to come. Therefore, I stepped up to try to do my part in helping to support them. They are our freedom providers. It’s a dangerous world and they do dangerous things so we should back them up. JS: What’s your take on the level of support that is provided to today’s service members versus what was offered to veter- ans in the past? GS: Let’s look in retrospect. I’m moti- vated because of the Viet Nam veterans that I know, and the ones that I have in my family. My veteran support work goes back to the ‘70s and early ‘80s with the recognition as a young man that our Viet Nam veterans had really gotten a bad deal coming home. So my motivation today – the seeds of that – were planted years ago by the Viet Nam veterans who educated me. If you look at what’s happening today, I’m certainly motivated to do whatever I can to ensure that our active duty service members today are treated much better than our Viet Nam veterans were when they came home from war, and that what happened to our Viet Nam veterans never happens again. That you volunteer for ser- vice or go off to serve your country, you get shot at, you see your buddies get killed or wounded, you struggle with long deploy- ments away from home, serious things happen to you, then you come home and the country turns its back on you. That’s no good. We never want that to happen. That’s a big motivator for me, and I think that’s a big motivator for a lot of people. We recognize that that was a bad deal and that hopefully we learn some hard lessons from that period. JS: The fact that there are more than 40,000 military charities out there kind of speaks pretty loudly to the fact that people do care about our service members. GS: I don’t think it’s up to the govern- ment to do everything. First of all, because they can’t, and I think it’s up to us as citizens who benefit from the freedom that’s provided by these service members who deploy at dangerous places around the world. It’s up to us, in some ways, to ensure that the veterans in our own communities, neighborhoods, towns and cities are taken care of. We can all do that by just stepping up and saying I want to take some action, or donate to an organization that is taking action. One of the things that I can do as a celebrity, as a public figure, is shine a light on things. It all became clear that there was a useful way that my success in the movie and television business could be applied. JS: Share the story about the formation of the Lt. Dan Band.

I had these band members that I played with for fun, and I finally talked the USO into letting me take the band members with me. I had been just shak- ing hands, and I wanted to entertain in some way. I remember the first tour I did overseas in Iraq. I was on a tour with Kid Rock, Lee Ann Womack and these other entertainers that were playing music. I immediately started talking to the USO. I said, “I have a band. I can go do this!” Because I’m an actor, they look at me like “Well, yeah sure, you’ve got a band.” But eventually, after five or six handshake tours, they let me take the band out on the road for the USO to play for the troops. That first year, after we went into Iraq, I went on six USO tours, like every month for six months. I was going “Send me to Iraq, send me to Europe, send me to Asia, wherever.” I just wanted to go be with the troops, visit our military, say thank you and pat ‘em on the back. Everywhere I was going on those handshake tours, they were call- ing me ‘Lt. Dan’ from Forrest Gump. So, when I started taking the musicians, I said let’s call it Gary Sinise & the Lt Dan Band. We play contemporary, classic, blues, pop, rock, country. I want a big variety in the show because we play for little kids on these bases as well as older veterans. We’ll even play ‘40s tunes if we’re doing the DAV convention, for example, and they’ve got some World War II veterans attending. We try to play a little something for everybody. JS: What does it mean for you to be returning to perform at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh in July? GS: What I love about AirVenture is they’re so veteran-friendly. There are so many veterans there. We are always part of the big veterans salute and tribute. It’s always a pleasure to be around so many veteran-friendly families and so many patriotic Americans. I really enjoy our doing it and I’m glad we’re coming back this year. I hope that a lot of people come out to see us again.

    R18  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // SHORT BRANCH BY GEORGE HALAS If you have not been to The Short Branch Saloon in Neenah in the last couple of years or so, be prepared to be very nicely surprised at what they’ve done to the place. Walking in the front door, the bar still has the same rustic feel it has always had. Keep walking and the end of the bar opens into an area with a new, raised stage, an excellent house sound system and tables arrayed in a way that facilitates listening and viewing as well as leaving a very com- fortable dance floor. Continuing past the stage and heading outside, it opens up into a large big-tree- shaded lawn with eight picnic tables, an outdoor stage and a bar that can accommodate up to 200 hundred people com- fortably. If you are there on a Saturday or Sunday morning, y o u m a y notice that a lot of folks are drinking Bacon Bloody Mary’s. If you are there any time, you cannot help but notice the strong commitment to becoming one of the premier music venues in the Fox Valley. “Our goal at the Short Branch is to provide a great evening out for all of our customers,” said manager Jason Rothe. “We strive to provide many genres of local talent without a cover charge or overpriced drinks.” “I’ve got to give a shout out to our owner, Lorrie Davis,” Rothe added, “for providing us with a great vision and the support to accomplish great things. Music is our number one priority and, not only are we committed to making The Short Branch a top music destination, we’d like to work with other venues to make Neenah a great music destination.” Special events are coming up as well. “One of the highlights to mark on your calendars is our annual corn roast, July 11th, with many great bands headlined by The Presidents all day and night. Also, make plans to be at our end of the summer luau in August that includes a pig roast and the limbo out in the backyard!” Rothe emphasized that the changes and improvements are still coming. “We plan on continuing with the cur- rent remodeling that many are seeing as well as adding a kitchen,” he said. “One of our objectives is to have a Friday fish fry that will accommodate our inside guests and out- side in our spacious backyard!” The Short Branch offers three different regular music “nights” each week, starting on Wednesdays with Classic Rock running from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In July and August, Bobby Evans and Russ Reiser perform on alternate Wednes- days. On Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., the Valley Unplugged series is offering A-Town Unplugged, Cool Waters and Christopher Gold. The musically diverse Summer Show- case presents The Presidents on July 11, Consult The Briefcase on July 18 and Crankin’ Yankees on July 25. The August lineup includes Red Light Saints, Leading The Blind, Dead Horses, Miles Nielson and The Mustache. Short Branch Saloon Goes Long on Music SUMMER JAMS! LIVE MUSIC - NO COVER!

    R20  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 NEWS & VIEWS  //  MEDIA RANTS BY TONY PALMERI A majority of American adults avoid participation in public discussion of issues. Given that so much of what passes for public discourse is infected with the twin poisons of prepackaged partisan talking points and mindless put downs of oppos- ing views, avoidance behavior should not be surprising. Unfortunately, citizen withdrawal from the public sphere has real consequences. When uncontested bad ideas dominate, policy makers feel empowered to make them into law. The fact that the 400 wealthiest individuals on the Forbes 400 list have more wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans combined is a testament to the power of narrow monied interests to get “reverse Robin Hood” economic policy ideas taken seriously. How can people become more engaged in solving the problems caused by an unhealthy public sphere? Clearly education has to be part of the solution. As a teacher in a Department of Communication at UW Oshkosh that states as its mission helping students to “find their voice,” I am always looking for ways to encourage public engagement. The rest of this rant describes a seminar I taught in the spring of this year designed to provide students with some tools necessary to analyze and evaluate discourse in the public sphere, and hopefully “raise the bar” for such discourse when choosing to enter that sphere them- selves. The seminar was called “Rhetoric in Action.” At the most basic level, rhetoric is the “art of persuasion.” The goal in the course was to expose students to writers in the public sphere for whom persuasion is the major purpose for writing. Newspa- per op-ed writers represent probably the best example of the kind of persuaders I had in mind, so I assigned each of the 22 enrolled students a writer that they followed all semester. The assigned writers were Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, David Brooks, Maureen Dowd, Frank Bruni, Gail Collins, and Ross Douthat of the New York Times; Leonard Pitts, Jr. of the Miami Herald; Dana Milbank, Eugene Robinson, Kathleen Parker, Katrina vandenHeuvel, Jennifer Rubin, Richard Cohen, E.J.Dionne, Jr., George Will, and Charles Krauthammer of the Washington Post; Meghan Daum and Doyle McManus of the Los Angeles Times; Ezra Klein and Matt Yglesias of Vox.com; and John Nich- ols of the Madison Capital Times. My main criteria in selecting the writers were: (1) the writer needed to be engaged consistently in writing about major public policy issues, (2) the writer needed to write for a mainstream source, and (3) the writer needed to have a substantial follow- ing. Obviously many writers meet those criteria, so I tried to arrive at a balance of liberal, moderate, and conservative voices. My own familiarity with the 22 writers was also a consideration; knowing about the writers in advance made it easier for me to determine if students were representing them accurately in their assigned papers for the course. The course textbook was The Rhetori- cal Act: Thinking, Speaking, and Writing Critically by professors Karlyn Campbell, Susan Huxman, and Thomas Burkholder. The writers conceptualize a successful rhetorical act as one that employs the resources of evidence, argument, organiza- tion, and language to overcome challenges making persuasion difficult. Those chal- lenges arise from audience (they often misinterpret messages and are resistant to change), subject and purpose (subjects can be complex and saying yes to the purpose might cost too much), and the rhetor him or herself (a writer’s prior reputation might get in the way of accepting his or her cur- rent argument). Students wrote many short papers analyzing how their assigned writer tried to overcome specific rhetorical challenges, leading to wonderful classroom discussions about public issues and the manner in which mainstream writers frame them. As the semester went on most seemed to be disturbed by how little the writers address issues of concern to young people; debt, lack of enough good paying jobs, and the environment to name just three examples. I found myself reminding them frequently that the answer was simple: write and speak about the issues you care about. Make a commitment to the public sphere. The final assignment was a lengthy paper requiring the student to evaluate his or her assigned writer based on artistic quality, effectiveness, accuracy, and/or ethics. These were some of the most intel- ligent and enjoyable papers I’ve read in a while. A good number of students were drawn to the ethical standard, which looks favorably on rhetoric that promotes social harmony and unfavorably on that which promotes discord. One student told me that a politiEthics.com website would be more valuate than politiFact. I told her she should start it. As a result of this course, one student was motivated to publish his own op-ed (on the topic of student debt) for the stu- dent Advance Titan newspaper. Another submitted her final paper (arguing that the NYT’s Frank Bruni weds a sense of comic, tragic, and history like a modern Shake- speare) to the Oshkosh Scholar journal of student scholarship. Like the majority of liberal arts courses offered at the UW, “Rhetoric in Action” provided students with a meaningful opportunity to think critically about civic responsibility. Such opportunities make it more likely that graduates will pay critical attention to what is going on in Madison and Washington. Perhaps that is why so many politicians want to reduce the UW mission to mere concern with job skills. Tony Palmeri (palmeri.tony@gmail.com) is a professor of communication studies at UW Oshkosh.

Ask us about our catering. -Dean Kaufert Mayor of Neenah BY GEORGE HALAS Given that one of the songs on this CD has been nominated for an international award, this reviewer believes that he is not going out on a limb in stating that “My Desire of You” is a great album and argu- ably the best yet from Jamie Lyn Fletcher. She has an excellent voice and tastefully subdued vocal style that creates intrigue and a certain journey-into-the-unknown feel. She complements her voice by choos- ing keys and notes lower than most female vocalist, again creating intrigue. Her songs often sound like the music that sets up the scary part of the movie…or is it romance… or is it both? She is also an outstanding – again intriguing – lyricist. The title/opening track, “My Desire For You” is a tune that gets you on the first bass note and keeps you with an intoxicat- ing beat and intelligent, inventive lyrics that sit perfectly on top of her piano-driven groove. She leaves one wondering if she truly embraces her desire; the lyrical twists will encourage multiple listens. The award-nominated (see “The Span- ish Inquisition” in this issue for detail) “I’ll Kiss You In The Rain” has that same multiple-listenable quality. It features a Brazilian tempo sparked by Fletcher’s styl- ish piano augmented by rhythmic guitar and includes sweet chord, tempo and mood changes. Her vocal sets an emotion- ally evocative tone that brings out the happy. Fletcher lures you into “Dangerous Beautiful” with an acoustic guitar intro then traps in a harmonic and intensity build that definitely sounds dangerous… but captivating. She uses a jazzier guitar to take you into a rather tastefully adult “In My Dreams.” She needs only an acoustic guitar to present the case her heart vs. her soul in “Unresolved.” She is very pleased with the sound and feel of the entire album and a newly discov- ered emotional vulnerability. “Having the most amazing recording engineer and producer on the planet doesn’t hurt either,” she emphasized.  “Marc Golde broke me, I don’t know how many times, in the studio over getting into the right emotional place on each song. He would accept nothing less.  Who knew rocker guys could be so sensitive.  He might kill me for repeating this, but regarding “What Now,” he says ‘this makes me want to just to go ice skating with Audrey Hepburn in Central Park.”   Had this reviewer thinking of lacing up the skates as well, but it’s a song that would work well with wine and a fire. “And Marc’s board,” Fletcher said, “this is my first album on ‘that board’ - Vintage analog 30 channel API Aengus Model 73- one of only two ever made.  Play it through a set of old beastly analog speakers and the cellos will dance around the room while I w h i s p e r the lyrics in your ear.  It is sometimes unnervingly i n t i m a t e .   You hear every spit crackle and every breath.  The only effect used was an authentic plate reverb.   Marc had the vision for this work and executed it immaculately, as did the musicians and beautiful photographer Sofia of Sofia Imagery. You have to see the cover – wow! The album was mastered at Sterling Audio in New York which pushed the vision right over the top.” The songs on this album will also sound great live, so it might be a good idea to catch Jamie Lyn Fletcher at one of her upcoming gigs and grab a CD there.

    R24  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // THE SPANISH INQUISITION BY GEORGE HALAS The Inquisition and those in-the-know in northeast Wisconsin have known for some time that Jamie Lynn Fletcher is one of the best and most creative singer- musician-composers. But it’s not just Wisco – the world is now taking notice. The Green Bay-based Fletcher was named by Music Resource Group (MRG) as one of five 14th Independent Music Awards nominees in the Jazz with Vocals Category for her song “I’ll Kiss You In The Rain” from her new album “My Desire of You.” IMA nominations in more than 80 categories spanned over the globe from nearly 30 countries. The eclectic mix of established and rising talent was culled from thousands of submissions. Winners will be determined by a panel of influ- ential artist and industry judges such as Arturo Sandoval, Jane Monheit, Suzanne Vega, Sharon Jones, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Lila Downs, Judy Collins, Raul Midón, Amanda Palmer, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Shelby Lynne, Chris Wood & Oliver Wood (The Wood Brothers), Anthony DeCurtis (Rolling Stone), as well as numerous talent elites. In addition to the winners selected by the Artist & Industry judges, music fans from around the world have until Friday, July 31, 2015 to vote for their favorite Nominees at The Vox Pop Jukebox, the fan-determined portion of The IMAs. “It is quite the honor and I’m humbled at the positive response. There certainly has been an increased demand for what I do since the nomination, and it has encour- aged me to continue testing the album in a more international realm,” Fletcher said. “I will not rest on the laurels of the nomina- tion, though. You are only as good as what you produce right now. It is such an honor to have this nomination, but an even bigger honor to have fans support their favorite independent music, uncontrolled by commerciality and written for quality- minded music lovers.” This was not the first time she has been honored. “The Fool,” a cut off her 2012 release, “Jamie,” made it as a finalist in the 2013 International John Lennon Songwriting Competition.   “It’s about making a mistake that most of us have made and I still get so many requests for it on my live shows as it resonates with the human experience,” she said. Fletcher’s star has been rising in Europe as well as she has made several trips over the last couple years. “The past two years I’ve been focus- ing on finding the right sound,” she said.  “It was impossible to do until I realized I had to start being true to myself and the music that I wanted to produce: something tender and gentle that cannot be pigeon- holed because it is just ‘music.’ There was also a process of facing my biggest fears of loving and being loved.  Sometimes you get run over by inspiration or a situation and you can’t run away any more.  The new album is the beginning of letting go.” Her European experiences serve as a musical travelogue.   “Europe is so vast,” Fletcher said “but you can drive all day and pass through sev- eral cultures and languages, unlike in the States.  Irony and a few good friends have brought me to Austria on tour several times over the past few years. Vienna is so rich in history, architecture, music, and art; every- one loves live entertainment. Their tastes bend more towards the early American ‘traditional’ jazz music of pre-WWII and then jump into rockabilly, skipping over much of the Western world’s music from the 1930’s & 40’s as it was banned under Hitler. Poodle skirts and bobby socks are a rave in many clubs now, but there is a burgeoning niche who appreciates original music as well as the Great American Song Book, which is where my musical heart likes to hang out.  It’s pure elegance.” And the music scene in London?  “Amazingly rich in all styles and they are over-the-top with the funk.  No short- age of groove,” she said. “Belgium leans more towards hard jazz and be-bop and France remains unchanged with their love for everything sultry and chanteuse. Oslo was a complete surprise as my second eve- ning led me to a concert by Norway’s prob- ably most-predominant pop artist, Bjørn Eidsvag. My brain had no idea what he was singing, but his music penetrates into a deep place in the soul, which attests to the universality of the music language.  I was blessed to later meet with him for lunch and an interview.”  “My third night I stumbled upon an American-style big band complete with the Andrew sisters,” she added.  “For a self- proclaimed ‘amateur band’ (one is consid- ered amateur if their main income is not in performing music), they nailed it.  I spent the rest of my time exploring the scene and playing my butt off nearly every night in every style of music - regardless of spoken language.  I was warmly accepted on stage in all situations and hope to return soon.” The album proved to be somewhat of a metaphysical quest. “This new album is completely dif- ferent from anything I have done,” she said. “I met an incredible individual, Marc Golde, who turned my being inside out, challenged me in every way, forced me to address my deepest fears, and impacted me enough to finally stop running from myself in my most hidden self-destruction.   The new album is an examination of the baby steps of the process...the hesitations, the fears, the wants, the desires, the dark edges, the joyful light, and the hopes of maybe one day being able to fully trust and love.”   “Sometimes I listen to it and I don’t even recognize myself - did I write that?” she continued.  “The music is extremely subtle and tender with multiple meanings, but hopefully something that everyone can relate to if they pay close attention.  There were several times I had to question exactly who I was speaking to in the music - to my inspiring person, to God, or to myself - not to confuse any of them with each other, of course.  This new work is an admission of vulnerability- something I once swore I would never let out.   But there is no art without vulnerability.” Fletcher will be back in town in July and August for multiple gigs in Green Bay, DePere and Door County.

    R26  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // SUNSPLASH What happens when you pair $18 million in beach and park improvements, the crystal clear waters of Green Bay, and Reggae, Roots and Rock? The Midwest Sunsplash Music Festival in its new home in Sister Bay, Door County! This August 7-8, the new Waterfront stage in Sister Bay hosts the first new major music festival to hit Door County in a decade. A line up of 9 musical acts, an eclectic mix of food and drink vendors, and sellers of groovy goods will bring a fresh vibe to the village and give people an opportunity to check out the newly completed beach and Waterfront Park. “Midwest SunSplash is a fun and funky new venture for Sister Bay, that will ideally make people take another look at Sister Bay as a place to visit,” said Zeke Jackson, administra- tor for the Village of Sister Bay. “This event is an opportunity to showcase the new public waterfront in an active and vibrant way. Sister Bay is the place for young, active families to relax and make fun memories. “ Village President David Lienau confirmed Jackson’s sentiments, adding, “This will attract new visitors that haven’t been to Sister Bay or Door County, and give people who haven’t been in a while a reason to come back.” The connection with Sister Bay and the Midwest Sunsplash (MWSS) event was a ser- endipitous one. Unity the Band played the first ever concert on the new Sister Bay Stage July 31, 2014. After the show, Unity lead singer Pita Katobalavu and Sister Bay Advancement Association Director Paige Funkhouser chat- ted about the new venue, music and SBAA’s desire to bring a music festival to the Village. Thus, Midwest SunSplash found a new home. MWSS began as a concert series by Kato- balavu and his partner, Kay Halbrook. They were looking to grow the series, and for a new, better venue than previously used. “Unity headlining the first concert at the new Waterfront Pavilion last summer packed the park,” Funkhouser said. “It was a perfect night: warm, beautiful sunset, people on boats listening to the jams. The energy of Pita’s band and their really positive messages created beautiful atmosphere on the waterfront. Unity drew a huge crowd with a fantastically diverse mix of ages and personalities. Zeke (Jackson) and I started talking with Pita and from there the festival idea grew into what people will experience Aug. 7 and 8.” Funkhouser, Jackson, Katobalavu and Halbrook met in November over sushi at Bonsai in De Pere, and started planning this year’s event as a soft opening of the new water- front. A Joint Effort Marketing grant from the Wisconsin Department of Tourism was writ- ten, and awarded to help promote the event. The grant award is funding the traditional and social media marketing to attract visitors from around the Midwest to the event. The state’s tourism marketing arm was onboard with the goal of inviting younger people and more diverse visitors to the state and Door County. August 8 will be an art and music-filled day on the water in Sister Bay. Sister Bay Advancement Association will also host the 13th annual Door County Festival of Fine Arts in Waterfront Park on the north side of the Sister Bay Village Hall. This festival show- cases Door County fine artists, who sell, and demonstrate their craft throughout the day, 10 - 5 p.m. “By pairing these two events, people attending Midwest SunSplash can spend their day perusing fine art at the Door County Festival of Fine Arts, and learning how art- ists create,” Funkhouser explained. “DCFA will also have live music throughout the day to put people in the mood for MWSS. Door County’s successful art scene will help draw people to MWSS, and people who have come for the new music will get to experience the vibrant art scene in Door County.” Katobalavu handpicked the entertainment to represent diverse music styles, with the idea to appeal to the usual Door County crowds, with aspiration to attract new visitors who may not have been to the peninsula. “My band has played all over in Door County, at Fishstock and other events for many years, and I love the warm welcomes we receive,” Katobalavu said. “I wanted to make sure we brought up great musicians that will entertain the local people who are exposed to lots of great talent all the time. I also chose bands for their geographic location and the size of their fan base. The bands will invite their fans to come up to Door County and hear their favorite band in a new location. Did we mention you’ll be able to swim while listen- ing to the music?” The festival kicks off Friday, August 7 at 4 p.m. with three bands playing on the Waterfront Stage until 9 p.m. Saturday’s line up features six bands playing from 2 p.m. until Sister Bay celebrating new beach with Midwest Sunsplash Music Festival Riverside Park • Neenah SUNDAY, JULY 19 • 10 am–4 pm Convenient Trolley Service to and from Riverside Park with stops at Neenah Public Library and City Hall parking lots Family-Friendly Fun on the Museum Lawn 10 am–3:30 pm Shop for original artwork from more than 65 Midwest artists Relax at the Lakeside Beer and Wine Garden 11am to 6 pm Live Music featuring Wifee and the Huzz Band No Cover Charge Beer, wine and food available for purchase Fox Communities Credit Union Remley & Sensenbrenner, S.C.

Inlcudes: Screened bottom board, deep brood box assembled, frames & foundation, inner and outer cover, & Eco wood treatment. Midnight. Honey & the 45’s kicked off their 2015 touring season by opening for Smash Mouth in North Carolina, and are including Midwest Sunsplash in their busy schedule. Katobalavu first connected with them through a fan in Rockford, and in his search for unique acts for MWSS, he thought they really stood out. “Their folk/blues/funk combo is really kick-ass,” saaid Katobalavu. “Having two women musicians out front isn’t something you see too often!” Lead singer/songwriter and guitarist Kris- tina Cottone shares the stage with Kim Kozel, who sings and plays saxophone and violin in this Chicago-based group. Kottone and Kozel are joined by lead guitarist Jon Gould, Sean Tatum on bass, and drummer Jarad Kleinstein. Among their credentials is a Best Blues/Jazz Band honor in 2014 from the Chicago Independent Music Awards. They recently released their second album “MAD.” They will kick off Saturday’s line up at 2 p.m. on the Sister Bay Stage. Natty Nation will draw their fans from Madison and southern Wisconsin to Door County, with the lure of a great Friday night headliner show at MWSS. Traditionally, Sun- splash festivals are known for the Reggae mes- sage of peace, love and unity, and Natty Nation has been touring and playing those positive vibrations since 1995. A steady back up band for such legends as Lee “Scratch” Perry and Chaka Demus & Pliers, they have a tight dub- based sound that attracts reggae purists as well as seekers of roots-rock-reggae. Other bands performing during the two day event include: Katobalavu’s Unity the Band, Whiskey of the Damned, Recalcitrant, Big Wig Mechanics, Wifee & the Huzz Band, and Earth to Clark. For a full festival experience, camping is available for festival goers at the Sister Bay Sports Complex, with a separate area for tents and RVs. Starting at 9 p.m. Friday night, MWSS ticket holders will be treated to an acoustic “after-hours” campfire music jam at the camping area hosted by Door County’s own Mary Jane Gang. “Camping really makes the festival by adding a communal setting for people to share and chill during and after MWSS. The Village of Sister Bay has helped make this happen, and they are building a bonfire for Friday night’s acoustic jam, and will shoot off fireworks Friday night,” said Funkhouser. To create a festival atmosphere, MWSS is looking for food and drink vendors, and arts and crafts vendors, that will fit with the Reggae-Roots-Rock vibe. “We would love to bring locally sourced foods and drinks that include healthy options mixed in with summer treats to our festival, and that has been the focus of our search for unique vendors,” festival manager Kay Hal- brook said. “The arts and crafts vendors will be distinctly different than the artists showcased in the Door County Festival of Fine Arts. We have a multi-cultural focus, with people sharing ethnic rituals like the Fijian Kava Ceremony and Henna Tattoo Artists, along with people selling natural and peace-building goods and native arts.” The musical lineup for the day will take the stage on the Sister Bay Waterfront Stage, except Friday night after 9 p.m.: Midwest SunSplash Music Festival is Friday from 4-9 p.m. at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront Park, 10693 North Bay Shore Drive, Highway 42, Sister Bay. Friday’s enter- tainment will move to the nearby Sister Bay Sports Complex (2155 Autumn Court) from 9 p.m. – midnight. Saturday, the festival grounds open at noon with music from 2 p.m. to midnight at the Sister Bay Stage in Waterfront Park. Tickets are $30 for General Admission and $10 per person for camping. Tickets are avail- able online at www.midwestsunsplash.com and at the door the day of the event. Children 10 and under are free.

    R30  |  SceneNewspaper.com | July 2015 ENTERTAINMENT // ROCK USA BY JANE SPIETZ It’s hard to believe that the world class Rock USA festival is about to recognize its 5th anniversary! Its mission still applies today: “To deliver the maximum Rock Festival experience while still offering a very affordable ticket. To listen to what the fans want and cater to their experience in the best way we can. ...and finally to deliver a kick-ass line up year in, and year out.”  This year’s line up will be no excep- tion to the rule, with headliners Alice Cooper, Def Leppard, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Judas Priest, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold and many great supporting acts scheduled to perform. I touched base with Rock USA pro- moter Dan Liebhauser recently to get the scoop on this year’s event.  Jane Spietz: Rock USA is about to cele- brate its 5th anniversary! How has this world class event evolved over the past 5 years? Dan Liebhauser: Five years ago Rock USA kicked off its first year with KISS, and attendance hit about 70,000. Last year the attendance had grown to about 100,000. JS: What type of feedback have you been getting from fans? DL: Looks like the rock fans approve of what we’re trying to do. Our goal is to deliver as broad a mix of rock entertain- ment as possible. In fact, our motto is: Sold Rock. No Limits. JS: Tell us about the exciting line up for this year’s event. You have forecast that it will be a monster! DL: Onstage for Rock USA’s 5th year is Judas Priest, Avenged Sevenfold, Def Lep- pard, Alice Cooper, Breaking Benjamin, Lynyrd Skynyrd and enough power acts to give us budget nightmares of $2 million dollars in talent. JS: The ‘Who Do You Want?’ poll on the Rock USA website provides fans with the ability to state their preferences about whom they would like to see perform. How much is their input taken into account when acts are being considered? DL: The very reason for the ‘Who Do You Want?’ feature is to allow us to tap into the pulse of our rock fans. This is probably the most important piece of info we use in buying out talent. JS: Looking to the future, what are your hopes for Rock USA in the next five years? DL: Big things happening for 2016! We plan on spending an additional $300,000 on talent and we want our rock fans to follow us on social media as we roll out some really exciting changes in the next coming months for Rock USA 2016. JS: Thanks, Dan. Looking forward to another great event! Rock USA’s 5th Anniversary!
