Maino and the Mayor

It's Friday, which means a visit from Mark Husen with Bellin Sports Medicine. By special request, Mark brings in an AED unit to give Jim, John, and our listeners a quick tutorial on how to use them. According to Mark, the big thing about AEDs is to turn the unit on. The unit will walk the user through the steps needed to check heart rate and determine if and when a shock might be required. A very important bit of information! Then the guys are joined by Bryce Retzer from Ledgerock Distillery, one of the participants in the Maino & The Mayor Top Craft Pick promotion that's currently underway. From vodkas to bourbons and everything in between, the grains used are from their farm on the ledge just south of Fond du Lac. Using the limestone-filtered water, also found on the farm, they truly create farm-to-table products.

We're all ready for the weekend!! Friday meanderings include Maino blaming Jim for a cut on his foot. Here's the quick version of what happened: Jim gave John a BIG salad. Jim suggested adding some chicken or something spicy. Maino decided to use some jarred jalapeno peppers. He dropped the jar. He decided not to do anything with it. He went to bed. He woke up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. He cut the bottom of his foot. Maino Logic follows that Jim is responsible for the cut and pain he is dealing with. Then Lisa Hale with NEWisco Weekend joins to give us a rundown of the stories we'll hear at 8 am on Saturday or 11 am on Sunday. This week's show will focus on vacations and "staycations".

We continue our special show to honor the 50th Anniversary of the Vietnam War's end. This hour, we feature a great friend of the show, Jim Van Den Heuvel, a local Vietnam Veteran. One of the amazing stories he shares is about his last days in Vietnam and how he was left alone overnight with the Viet Cong all around him. This is an amazing story from a man who continues to do everything he can to help fellow veterans. Thank you, Jim. For your Vietnam service to our country and your continued service in our community.

We continue our special program honoring the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War (March 29th). Gail and Kim Nohr with Veterans 1st of Northeast Wisconsin join Jim and John to give us an update on the tiny home village they're trying to build to help housing insecure veterans have a stable start toward owning or renting their own housing. They share the good news that, hopefully, after several hurdles, they're getting closer to breaking ground on this project. We offer our respect and thanks to Kim and Gail for their hard work on this very important project. Then, Joe Aulik from the Brown County Veterans Services office joins the show to encourage Veterans to do a yearly check-in with the local offices to see what services and offerings are available. From health care to education funds and more, Joe says it's important to do a yearly check-in because programs continue to change and, in some cases, expand.

Two wonderful local artists are in the studio this hour. First, Spencer Nolan Young, who has painted the famous Packer fences for the past several years, cleats for the players, and many other projects in Northeast Wisconsin and all over the country. The guys try to get Spencer to open up about his plans for the upcoming draft, but Spencer keeps it close to the vest. Spencer also agrees to a fundraising project that Jim and John have created to raise money for the New Community Shelter and a Veterans' Breakfast project. Then, another great local artist, Ace Champion, pulls up with food, flutes and FIRE! He's planning a great cooking class at Paradise North Distillery this Thursday night!

Kevin Osgood and John Craemer from the USCG Auxiliary join the show to promote boating safety courses.

You can click HERE to see the upcoming dates for courses in Northeast Wisconsin. John and Kevin also presented Challenge Coins to Jim, John, and Todd. It was an amazing honor.

We're only in the show for three minutes, and Jim and John are crabbing about various things. From gas pumps to whether or not Maino is related to John the Baptist, the grumpiness really comes through. Then, the conversation turns to the first concerts we all went to. It's also Waffle Day, and there's a disagreement about whether or not waffles are good. It's also Maryland Day, and Maino proclaims that Maryland is the weirdest state. And then, the guys talk about the fact that they don't like to sit too close to other people.

Then Brittney Merlot joins the show to give us a glimpse at the forecast for the week ahead. Looks like a bit of winter and a bit of spring. The guys also ask her what may be in store for the draft.

Dennis Peters remains in the co-host chair while Jim continues his vacation. Mark Husen from Bellin Sports Medicine joins to help Dennis make a very important announcement: Dennis has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer. Devastating news for Dennis and his family and friends (radio friends included). However, the reason he wanted to do the special segment is to make the point that you should take care of yourself, advocate for yourself, and not disregard signs of illness. We thank Dennis for allowing us to be the venue for making this announcement. The meaningful hour continues when Cari Josephson from the Walk To End Alzheimer's brings a special guest with her: former Wisconsin Governor Marty Schreiber. Governor Schreiber has recently penned a book called My Two Elaines about his story of caregiving for his wife, Elaine. He writes about having to watch his beloved wife gradually transform from the woman who had gracefully entertained in the Executive Residence to one who sometimes no longer recognized him as her husband. Net proceeds from the sales of My Two Elaines will be used to promote Alzheimer’s caregiver support programs.

Dennis Peters joins us again this hour. Our friends Jim and Suzi Ploetz join the show again as "competitors" in the Maino & The Mayor's Top Craft Pick promotion! They own and operate New Denmark Brewing and Duck Creek Winery & Distillery. They started home-brewing beer back in the early 1990s. In 2013, they opened the winery because of their passion for wine-making and growing grapes and after winning several amateur ribbons at the Wisconsin State Fair. After a few years, they wanted to get into creating distilled spirits. In 2018, they released several spirits: whiskey, vodka, gin, rum, brandy, and several flavored moonshines. Then Ashley McDermid flies in (almost literally) for the Heights Pub & Parlor Music Series. Today we welcome Jason Reisdorf, Jason Goessl and Ryan Thomas from "Son Reis Project." Their Facebook page explains their music thusly: "Son Reis Project (SRP) is a sonic exploration at the intersection of heavy metal, free jazz, and punk."

Dr. Ryan Berns sits in for Mark Husen from Bellin Sports Medicine! Dr. Ryan Berns is Bellin's new Sports Medicine Physician and Medical Director. Dr. Berns tells us a bit about his background but also about some of the injuries that are becoming more prevalent, especially for young athletes who begin specializing in a single sport at an early age. He really suggests being active in a few sports rather than focusing on just one. Then, Terry Charles with PMI joins to promote this weekend's Monster Jam at the Resch Center! Driver Matt Cody joins to talk about his experience in the sport. Matt wasn’t even old enough to drive when he started working on monster trucks as an eighth grader. Growing up in Maryland, he was centrally located to assist Mike Vaters of Black Stallion, who provided Cody with early education by allowing the youngster to serve as a crew member.

Mike Pritzl continues as co-host this morning, and he and Maino welcome former UWGB Men's Basketball star Jeff Norgaard to discuss the glory years and where the program is headed in the future.

Beth Kowalski from the Neville Public Museum joins John and guest co-host Vanessa Moran to discuss the extended hours they've implemented for spring break. Her visit is another great reminder of this great resource in our community. From ever-changing displays to club meetings and more, we LOVE the Neville and Beth! Then, our guest host, Vanessa Moran, takes time to talk about the charity she works with, Feed My Starving Children. Her work with the organization is how we met her last year. Every year, millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria, and undernutrition. Hunger is still causing nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. Vanessa says over 6000 children die every day from hunger. Just children, 18 and under. Click the link if you'd like to make a difference.
