Brass fixture from 1938 back in original stairway locationBy Dan RohertyOshkosh Herald

An ornate light fixture originally in-stalled in the late 1930s at the Winnebago County Courthouse has been restored and returned to its stairway location thanks to the ongoing work of a county employee with a passion for the building’s history.

The brass fixture was original to the courthouse on the steps leading from the first-floor lobby but removed during re-modeling and renovations sometime in the 1970s, according to Austin Frederick, a maintenance technician for the Winnebago County Facilities and Property Manage-ment Department.

Waterfest organizer keeps it all in tune Dempsey works to satisfy generations of music fansBy Kevin DamaskHerald contributor

Waterfest has evolved through the years, but for event organizers the goal remains the same: to bring a variety of re-gional and national acts to Oshkosh at an affordable price.

This summer, Waterfest is celebrating 33 years of rocking the Fox Valley with great live music. Popular music has seen its share of changes since the mid-1980s when the event started. Waterfest, however, aims to please with acts that appeal to multiple gen-erations.

This summer’s lineup ranges from George Thorogood and the Destroyers, a hard-rocking blues band that gained na-tional fame in the 1970s, to Manchester Orchestra, an indie rock group that has produced a string of hits in recent years.

Rescue teams work at the site of a helicopter crash June 9 on the Fox River that claimed the life of the pilot after the aircraft hit high-tension power lines.

Helicopter crash on Fox River kills pilotBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Platteville pilot Jonathon D. Bahr, 27, was killed when his helicopter hit a live power line and crashed into the Fox Riv-er by the Wisconsin Street bridge around 12:30 p.m. June 9.

According to the Winnebago County Sheriff ’s Department, Bahr was the only person on board at the time of the crash. Eyewitnesses said there had been two peo-ple on the helicopter earlier. Bahr was re-

portedly hired to enable a photographer to take pictures of a power boat event on Lake Winnebago involving the Four Horsemen Poker Run.

According to speedonthewater.com, the pilot had been hired for Peter Boden to shoot pictures at the event, which featured 75 power boats during the weekend. Boden had been dropped off before the helicopter returned to the area and crashed.

Rescue efforts were delayed by the pres-ence of severed live wires in the river. Wis-consin Public Service eventually secured the wires to allow divers to retrieve Bahr, a former U.S. Army Ranger, and the the Rob-inson R44 helicopter. The power lines are owned by the American Transmission Co.

The river was closed for at least nine hours to boat traffic.

Elizabeth Cory, a Federal Aviation Ad-ministration communications representa-tive, said the FAA does not discuss ongoing open investigations and that any informa-tion will come from the National Transpor-tation Safety Board, which is investigating.

Participating in the rescue operation were members of the Sheriff ’s Department and its Marine Unit, the Oshkosh Fire De-partment, Wisconsin Public Service, Mer-cury Marine, and Sunk, Drive and Ice Ser-vice.

The Oshkosh Area School District was recently awarded a $100,000 grant from the state Department of Public Instruction to develop a community learning center at Smith Elementary School for the 2018-19 school year.

There will be an opportunity to renew the funding for the next four years for a total of $500,000. With this addition, the district will be home to eight community learning centers focused on after-school programming to elementary and middle schools. These extended-day learning pro-grams help keep children safe and inspires them to learn.

The district’s learning centers provide programs and services that can lead to im-proved academic achievement, youth de-velopment, and greater family and commu-nity connections to school. Working with more than 40 community organizations,

the centers bring services to low-income neighborhoods in Oshkosh.

“We are excited to bring this import-ant programming to Smith Elementary School,” stated Julie Conrad, district di-rector of curriculum and assessment. “Our programming offers so much more than homework help and this funding will al-low us to continue to meet the needs of the Smith community.”

The learning centers are known as Lighted School House programs and are at Emmeline Cook, Merrill, Roosevelt, Wash-

ington, Webster Stanley and Smith elemen-tary schools. The programming includes daily enrichment activities that focus on community partners, literacy, STEM, art, music and physical activity.

At the middle school level, the pro-gramming is known as Middle Extended Day Learning Time (MELT) and these programs are at Perry Tipler and Merrill middle schools. MELT programming pro-vides time for students to participate in en-richment activities that enhance classroom instruction in multiple areas.

Second Casey store in worksBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Oshkosh Plan Commission members recommended approval of a second Casey convenience store and gas station for Osh-kosh at the northeast corner of Oshkosh Avenue and North Westfield Street on an 8-1 vote.

Mayor Steve Cummings recommend-ed against the proposal, saying the store would be at the entrance to the city on Os-hkosh Avenue and wanted to preserve the area as a new “gateway” to the communi-ty. He felt the convenience store proposal would not lend itself to a planned commer-cial development for the area.

“People will look at it as a gas station,” the mayor said, adding that the city has not yet developed plans for the whole area of Oshkosh Avenue and that the proposal could result in making the street look more like a frontage road rather than as a planned entranceway.

But other Plan Commission members agreed with city Planning Services staff in recommending approval of the condition-al use permit, general development plan and specific implementation plan for the project, which would be near the proposed Oshkosh Corp. global headquarters on land being proposed for commercial devel-opment.

The Plan Commission also held work-shops to discuss plans for a proposed 126-unit apartment project on the southwest side of town and a private school along Lake Butte des Morts Drive.

The apartment project would change the area of West 20th Street and Clairville Road from the previous 25 single-family condominiums approved in 2008 to three 42-unit apartment buildings with first-floor attached parking.

As part of the 2008 proposal, two as-sisted-living units were built, leaving about 15 acres for single-family use, which is cur-rently undeveloped. Planning staff noted that the zoning for the area does not permit apartment buildings of that size and ques-tioned whether the buildings would be too big for the area.

The private school request involves about 70 acres of commercially designated land on the city’s northwest side adjacent to Lake Butte des Morts Drive where a propo-nent of building an Acton Academy there is seeking a change from commercial to institutional zoning. The Acton Academy would feature multigrade levels (elementa-ry, middle and high school) with 120-150 students planned for the private school.

Area groups partner for more efficient processBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Representatives from 15 local church-es became more familiar with what the Oshkosh Hub has to offer in working with people in need and helping them become more economically self-sufficient, at a re-cent orientation meeting at Christ Luther-an Church.

The Hub program represents a col-laboration of the Oshkosh United Way, ADVOCAP and The Salvation Army as agencies in partnership with other groups and resources to take up the needs of people and help them get connected to communi-ty resources. The focus is on a long-term, more stable future through a step-by-step plan with realistic goals.

Residents can work with Hub coach-es to turn their lives around without being judged, said Tony Beregszazi, deputy di-rector at ADVOCAP. His group and The Salvation Army each have two staff coach-es and Hub is always looking for volunteer coaches.

Beregszazi said Hub coaches can help people figure out their needs and create a plan of action. He said the program does not provide direct financial assistance but points to community resources that can deal with those needs.

Potential resources and services in-clude affordable day care, money manage-ment, job training and career counseling, transportation and housing. Hub coaches help coordinate these services and devel-op the skills needed to compete for liv-ing-wage jobs, counseling on household finances and debt management, securing reliable transportation to work, and finding affordable housing or child care.

The Rev. Connie Weiss, pastor of Christ Lutheran and an organizer of the event, said churches are interested in how they can be-come more involved in the Hub process.

“We are interested in connecting our

churches more effectively with communi-ty resources,” Weiss said. She said the pro-gram was designed to get clergy, church staffs and other concerned members to engage in a meaningful dialogue with Hub agencies about how the program works so that referrals will be meaningful. Churches are often called upon to provide resources to those in need.

The Oshkosh Hub program has been around since 2013 as a newer initiative to help people become more self-sufficient, said Beregszazi.

“We create options for them; we do not tell them what to do,” he said. Sometimes one problem, such as lack of a job, leads to other needs discovered in the process.

“Every plan is individualized,” Beregszazi said, with the coaching focused on the strengths and assets of the person being assisted.

Lu Scheer, affordable housing director at ADVOCAP who oversees the two Hub coaches there, emphasized there is no time limit to participate in the free program.

“We are giving them life skill tools,” Scheer said. As a Community Action Agen-cy, ADVOCAP often works with those who have low income or are homeless.

Also addressing church members at the June 5 meeting was Al Rolph, a Salva-tion Army social worker who serves as a Hub coach.

“We look at the strengths they have and what are the barriers in the way,” he said.

Rolph said goals are usually revisited every three months to see what may be get-ting in the way.

To access Hub coaching services, indi-viduals must be at least 18, live in the Os-hkosh Area School District, not be under the influence of illegal substances, and be mentally stable for setting and achieving economic stability goals.

Agencies and churches interested in referring someone into the program can go to www.huboshkosh.org or call a coach-ing site to schedule an initial appointment (ADVOCAP at 426-0150 or Salvation Army at 232-7660).

Remembering Our PastRandy Domer is a local historian and president of the Winnebago County Historical & Archaeo-logical Society. He has written and published several books on Oshkosh history and is a board member of the Oshkosh Public Museum and Butte des Morts Historical Preservation Society.

By Randy DomerHerald contributor

The year was 1835 – one year before the area we know as home today was ced-ed by the Menominee Nation to the U.S. government. It would be another 18 years before Oshkosh would become incorpo-rated as a city. Early travel here was by foot or horseback and crossing the numerous lakes, rivers and waterways made the jour-ney quite problematic.

It was in 1835 that James Knaggs pur-chased a ferry that assisted travelers by transporting them across the Fox River. Knaggs was the third owner of the ferry that operated where Riverside Cemetery is today and across the Fox River to today’s Rainbow Park (formerly known as Coon Point). The ferry was established in 1832 by George Johnston who shortly thereaf-ter sold the business to Robert Grignon. Knaggs, who worked for the Grignon pio-neer family, purchased the ferry and trading post from Grignon.

On the east side of the river, the ferry operation was anchored by a trading post and tavern, where weary travelers could spend the night, if they so inclined, before continuing their journey the next day. The trail from Fort Howard to Portage was a well-traveled route in the new frontier and its path led directly to the ferry and trading post.

James Knaggs’ parentage is recorded to have been Potawatomi and Anglo and his wife was a member of the Menominee Nation. Sometimes referred to as one of the city’s first merchants, his services were greatly needed as there would be no bridg-es built here until 1847 at Main Street and 1850 at West Algoma.

Knaggs was described as “a tough, wiry man” and it was said “he could out-travel a horse with a man on his back.” He did much of his business trading goods with the local Menominees who occupied wigwams in the area. He would buy their furs or give them various supplies in trade. Knaggs was respected enough that he was offered a commission as a lieutenant in the Michi-gan Territorial Militia in 1819 and again in 1832. He declined both times.

The ferry, it is said, was a flat-bottomed scow, large enough to transport horses. Al-though the distance across the river was not great, navigating the river currents posed

quite a challenge.Knaggs ownership of the ferry would

be short-lived however. In 1836, ownership of the ferry was transferred to Webster Stan-ley, who eventually moved the ferry down-stream to where the river connects with Lake Winneba-go. Stan-ley had worked briefly for Knaggs as a ferry-man. In the book “Prairie, Pines, and People” by James Metz and Dr. Charles Goff, it’s implied that Knaggs may have been defrauded out of his business due to his mixed-blood heritage.

James Knaggs would go on to be a farmer in the town of West Algoma.

A historical marker, placed here by the Winnebago County Historical & Archae-ological Society in 1955, still serves as a reminder to visitors of the historical signifi-cance of this site.

Today, major construction is occurring on the historical site where the Knaggs Fer-ry landing is located on the west shore of the river, near the former Lakeshore Mu-nicipal Golf Course. Archaeological exca-vations were recently completed ahead of the construction.

Descendants of Knaggs still reside in the Oshkosh area. Brothers Neil, Charles (Chuck) and James ( Jim) Knaggs visited the landing site April 23, and shared mem-ories and stories from their childhood as told to them by their father and uncle. The Knaggs and their families are proud of their heritage and have strong interests in local history.

Knaggs Ferry an important early travel connection

Nashville artists bring classic songs to arenaJP Harris among performers making special trip up NorthBy Dan RohertyHerald contributor

Nashville recording artist and Alabama native JP Harris is looking forward to a concert visit to Wisconsin in-between tour-ing with his band The Tough Choices and taking part in a music camp for traditional styles in New York.

Harris’ concert schedule has taken him as far as Europe and Australia, but the Up-per Midwest is mostly uncharted territory.

“We were laugh-ing about how we had to go most of the way to Canada to get three Nashville people on the same stage,” Harris said. “We’re all so busy.”

Menominee Na-tion Arena is partner-ing with singer-song-writer Cory Chisel to bring Harris and two other musical cohorts from Nashville on June 17 for Cory Chisel Presents: A Salute to Country Classics.

The show from 1 to 4 p.m. will be the first outdoor performance at the arena. Chisel will be presenting Harris, Erin Rae and Lillie Mae, who will be covering hits by Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and other country stars.

Harris said he likely first met Chisel at the Newport Folk Festival four or five years ago and has continued that connection to being part of his “surrogate musical family.”

“He’s so close with a lot of my close buddies, I can’t remember exactly how we met. I just remembered like, ‘WelI, I like that guy and I know him now,’” Harris said.

Harris said he will also get a chance to visit the Refuge Foundation for the Arts in Appleton to rehearse for the show and take in the music collaboration campus.

“It’s been high on my list of places to get to,” he said. “I really like what Cory’s doing there; I think it’s sort of most musi-cians’ dreams to get yourself a spot way out somewhere and make it too good for your other touring musician buddies to pass up, and make them come to you.”

As a Nashville resident for the past eight years where he has everything he needs to play, produce and publish his own music, Harris appreciates the country stan-dards that he gets to occasionally play in short appearances around town.

“I don’t actually get to play as many of the old numbers as I used to when I’m out touring,” he said. “We sprinkle in a half-dozen in the course of a long set, but it’s mostly original stuff.”

His longtime interest in old Appa-lachian string band music and creating open-back, fretless banjos as part of his profession as a carpenter is leading him to the Grassroots Festival Culture Camp in Trumansburg, N.Y., next month as an in-structor and participant. He said the camp and music festival immerses participants in the instruments, songwriting, singing and dancing elements of Appalachian, Cajun, Latin and other ethnic music genres.

Harris and The Tough Choices was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the Country Tours Not to Miss in 2014 and one of the 21 Must-See Country Acts at the South by Southwest festival in 2015. His 2012 original debut album “I’ll Keep Calling” in 2012 won Best Country Album of 2012 from The Nashville Scene and at the Independent Music Awards. His latest album “Home Is Where The Hurt Is” was recorded at Ronnie’s Place, the former stu-dio of Ronnie Milsap in Nashville.

Harris said there hasn’t been a formal announcement but his third album of newly minted original songs is on its way this fall.

He said he is purposely trying to save his energy at home doing summer things on the water and on his motorcycle, antic-ipating a busy 2019. But he admits not be-ing able to remain idle for long.

“Too much vacation is a bad thing for me,” he said.

“We’re hoping that next year we’ll get a lot more time up there. It is real nice in the summertime.”

Lillie Mae Rische has been performing since she was a child in her family’s band Jypsi, and her extensive fiddle, mandolin and vocal work found its way to collaborations and performances with Jack White, includ-ing on his second studio album “Lazaretto” in 2014. With her current band that still has a family connection with her brother Frank on guitar, Rische is in the middle of exten-sive touring that recently included Califor-nia and Ohio music fests and will take her next month to Australia for a set of concerts.

Rae’s just-out release “Putting on Airs” with Single Lock Records was recorded at the Refuge, which is a former Francis-can monastery on the Fox River. Similar to Rische, the Tennessee native comes from a musical family background that started her early in folk and country singing and pointed her to Nashville and her own original work.

Chisel will also be bringing A Salute to the Beatles in July and A Salute to Bob Mar-ley in August. September will bring a new series called the Soul Shakedown series.

Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Wisconsin elected Michael Hert of Oshkosh as its new state commander during its 90th annual convention June 9 in Green Bay.

Hert, a U.S. Army veteran, served two tours in Iraq, two tours in the Horn of Af-rica and one in Afghanistan. He is the first post-9/11 veteran elected as DAV state commander.

“When DAV was started in 1920 by World War I veterans; the primary mission was to ensure that veterans would lead lives with respect and dignity,” Hert said at the convention. “Each succeeding generation has advanced the mission.”

Hert began his military career as a pri-vate and medically retired as a lieutenant colonel after 31 years of combined service.

Harold Eichstadt will be turning 101 years old in a month … and he still drives his car, but not at night, and has driven more than a million miles during his life-time.

Called “sharp as a tack” by those who know him, Eichstadt said he has been driv-ing since he was 13 years old. He said he has had only three accidents, none of which was his fault, during an interview at a meet-ing of the Noon Optimist Club at the Delta Restaurant on Sawyer Avenue. He has been an Optimist for more than 50 years.

Farming has been a big part of his life, having grown up in North Dakota and later moving to Wisconsin where he grew grain and raised dairy cattle and chickens on Vin-land Avenue.

A biography about the family notes the Eichstadts had 3,000 laying hens and a contract with the former Athearn Hotel in downtown Oshkosh (across from Grand Opera House) for its restaurant. Harold, with sons Jim and Ken, would butcher chickens in the morning that were pre-pared by chefs that afternoon.

Although dropping out of school after eighth grade to help with the family farm, education has been a major part of his life through constantly reading and taking semi-nars and college courses.

“I took a lot of classes in my life to im-prove myself,” he said.

He has devoted much of his time helping others to learn through being a benefactor to Lourdes Academy and other Unified Catholic Schools through provid-ing scholarships. He and late wife Marcella “Sally” raised Ken and Jim, who completed the first four-year term at Lourdes.

Eichstadt has been involved in many community organizations and projects in Oshkosh, and financially supported build-ing activities throughout the city. He do-nated land from his farm for Valley Chris-tian School and sold land to the school district for Oshkosh North High, assisted with the addition to The Salvation Army, and helped with construction of St. Josep-hat Church, which he attended.

During his farming days in Oshkosh,

the Vinland farm included land between Jackson Street and Vinland Avenue and Murdock to Morgan Street, all eventually sold off for commercial and residential de-velopment as well as the two schools.

He lived through the Great Depression and saw firsthand the struggles by family and friends as their North Dakota community suffered through the stock market crash.

Besides being a farmer and living in Os-hkosh since the mid-1940s, Eichstadt has had many different occupations. Because of his farming knowledge he was hired by the state to conduct tax reassessment services in 129 townships, visiting up to 50 property owners a day from 1959 to 1984.

He also did real estate activities for more than 40 years: land development, surveying and construction. He also was the Town of Oshkosh assessor and build-ing inspector.

On his 100th birthday last year, he went to a Timber Rattlers game where he threw out the first pitch along with Miss Alice in Dairyland.

His goal for the future: Stay active.

SUMMER’S COMING! A/C System Performance Test

$2000Expires June 27, 2018

Louis Comfort Tiffany: Treasures from the Driehaus Collection, an overview of Tiffany’s mastery of color and form in a wide range of materials and decorative styles, opens June 23 at the Paine Art Cen-ter and Gardens.

The exhibition features more than 60 objects, including lamps, windows, jewelry and decorative items, that span more than 30 years of Tiffany’s prolific career. As one of America’s most renowned artists, Tiffany (1848-1933) worked in nearly all of the me-dia available to artists and designers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries – glass, ceramic, metalwork, jewelry and painting.

He earned international acclaim for his artistry, with his work enthusiastically col-

lected by art museums and private collec-tors. Tiffany’s work continues to be highly sought-after.

The exhibition running through Sept. 23 highlights masterworks never presented in a comprehensive exhibition and cele-brates the artistry and craftsmanship of the Tiffany artworks from Chicago’s Richard H. Driehaus Collection.

Tiffany was born in New York City in 1848 and began his career as a painter, studying at the National Academy of De-sign. He expanded his repertoire through his work as an interior designer and began working at a glassworks in Brooklyn, where he developed some of his signature meth-ods of making glass and experimented with

new glass forms and techniques. In 1894, he patented the poetic term

“Favrile,” from the Latin word fabrilis, meaning handmade, to describe the irides-cent blown art glass he began producing. In late 1897, Tiffany built his own glass furnace in Corona, Queens, New York, which produced Favrile and other unique varieties of glass for use in ecclesiastical and secular stained glass windows, lamps, vases, mosaics and accessories.

Tiffany’s work received renewed ap-preciation in the mid-20th century and continues to be associated with unparal-

leled quality and beauty. When Tiffany died in 1933, the New York Times obitu-ary counted him “among the best known of American artists.”

The Richard H. Driehaus Museum was founded in 2003 in Chicago to preserve and publicly exhibit American and Euro-pean fine and decorative arts of the Gilded Age (1870–1900). The museum, which opened in 2008 after an extensive five-year restoration, is a showcase for late 19th- and early 20th-century art and design, displayed against the magnificent interiors of the his-toric Samuel M. Nickerson Mansion.

gained more appreciation for the building’s origins and its slow path to existence.

“It took a long time for the county to build that courthouse,” he said, including many years of discussion before breaking ground in 1937. Depression-era spending limitations slowed the project until all fi-nancial resources were in place.

“Our courthouse was not built with any federal relief money,” Frederick said. “From what I understand a savings they had started years earlier (was used) and they had issued building bonds.”

Frederick said the Winnebago Coun-ty Board of 1918 anticipated the need for a new courthouse in the coming years and started a building fund that took until about 1926 to gain any momentum. District At-torney David K. Allen originally suggested the location — the Clark-Kennedy Site as it was known then — and told the board, “It must be the pride of the entire county, something to which each citizen may gladly point.”

The first pile of earth was turned Jan. 14, 1937, and the building was finished and dedicated July 27,1938, for a cost of just under $1 million and earning the nickname of the “Million Dollar Courthouse.”

“It’s another symbol of our county and what we were able to build in hard times,” Frederick said.

officer. As operations division command-er, he oversaw the medical branch and all emergency medical services for the 400-member Aurora Fire Rescue Depart-ment, which is accredited by the Commis-sion on Fire Accreditation International, a

distinction held by less than 1 percent of U.S. fire departments in communities of more than 360,000 residents.

Stanley said he would like to see Osh-kosh go after this status as part of his plans for the department. He added that since being

here, there did not seem to be a lot that needed changing.

“This is a very efficient organization,” he said, adding that he hopes to inspire more proactive planning such as in com-munity risk prevention.

“I want to build the team that we have here and move the department forward,” he said.

Stanley said he wants to spend the next several months learning more about Osh-kosh, the department and other stakehold-ers in the community, and identify the gaps

to improve upon. “There are always oppor-tunities to do more,” he said.

Stanley said the opening of the new Oshkosh Corp. global headquarters, the Experimental Aircraft Assocation air show and other events will provide new opportu-nities to deal with in the coming year.

One area of interest to him concerns the opioid crisis and what the fire depart-ment can do to slow the process of addic-tion in partnership with other organiza-tions and resources.

Joining him in relocating to Oshkosh is his wife, Sandy. They have two grown children: Mikaela, a nurse, and Callihan, a nursing school student, who will continue with their own plans.

When not attending to fire department matters, Stanley said he likes to read, travel and watch sports. He is a diehard Denver Broncos fan, but adds that Vince Lombardi is someone he always admired. He has also taken in Milwaukee Brewers games as the team has a farm club in Colorado Springs. When the Broncos last won the Super Bowl title in 2016, he was able to take part in the victory parade.

Stanley has a bachelor’s degree from Charter Oak State College in New Britain, Conn., and a master’s degree from Colora-do State University in Fort Collins. He also has earned designation as a chief fire offi-cer from the Center for Public Safety Ex-cellence and has been an instructor for the National Fire Academy and a certified in-structor for the U.S. Department of Home-land Security.

While in Colorado, he has held the po-sitions of firefighter, rescue technician, ba-sic and advanced EMS provider, hazardous materials response team member, associate director for the emergency medical pro-vider program, lieutenant, technical rescue team member, EMS shift supervisor, cap-tain, battalion chief, commander and acting deputy chief.

Oshkosh Area United Way names new chief executive

The Oshkosh Area United Way board named Mary Ann L. Dilling as its new chief executive officer beginning in July.

Dilling most recently was employed with the Experimental Aircraft Association in Oshkosh where she served in a variety of rolls including director of business develop-ment and director of events and hospitality. Before EAA she was executive director for Fond du Lac Festivals.

Board member Amy Sitter led the search committee for the new CEO as the organization’s current leader Susan Panek is set to retire. The board contracted with QTI Executive and Professional Search in Madison to provide candidates to the board for review.

“The board was very specific in the qualities we were seeking in our next CEO. We wanted someone very mission driven, who would be a collaborative and innova-tive leader and manager,” Sitter said in a statement. “We believe Mary Ann fits the criteria very well and we are pleased to wel-come her and introduce her to the Oshkosh community as our next CEO.”

Dilling attended the University of Wis-consin Platteville, and is a certified festival and event executive. She will step into her new role July 2. A reception to introduce her to the community will be held at a later date.

Healthy Neighborhoods group has new director

Pam Ruder, a former nonprofit execu-tive in the community, has been appointed new director of Greater Oshkosh Healthy Neighborhoods (GO-HNI).

The change in leadership comes in wake of the organization board’s desire to grow and expand its operations within the Oshkosh community and different neigh-borhoods.

Ruder previously served as resource development director at the Oshkosh Area United Way from 2012-17. She returned to Oshkosh in 2010 after five years as the head women’s basketball coach at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas. Before

that she coached the University of Wiscon-sin-Oshkosh women’s basketball team and served as associate athletic director.

She earned her master’s in business administration through UW-Oshkosh and started her administrative duties as finance director for the athletic department. During her tenure at UW-Oshkosh, Ruder was part of the 1996 NCAA National Champion-ship team during their 31-0 season.

Police, community service officers added for duty

The Oshkosh Police Department wel-comed new officers Parker De Los Santos and Xavier Mayne during a Police and Fire Commission meeting recently.

De Los Santos and Mayne, along with new Community Service Officer Justin Telfer, began work May 21. De Los Santos is originally from Crivitz and attended the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh where he earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. He then attended Fox Valley Tech-nical College Law Enforcement Recruit Academy, becoming certified in December, and worked for the UW-Oshkosh Police Department as a dispatcher.

Mayne joined the department in Jan-uary as the first ever Oshkosh police cadet after completion of the FVTC Law En-forcement Recruit Academy. He served in the U.S. military for 20 years and is also a graduate of New York Institute of Technol-ogy where he earned a bachelor’s degree in graphic arts.

Telfer is originally from Fort Atkinson and is currently enrolled at UW-Oshkosh with a double major in criminal justice and sociology. He previously served in the U.S. Marine Corps and is actively serving in the Reserves.

GO Transit gets cleaner with three new buses

Winnebago Audubon is leading a free field trip to explore the wetlands, birds and other creatures of Uihlein Marsh beginning at 7 a.m. June 16.

Uihlein Marsh, or Uihlein Waterfowl Production Area, is a wetland managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is the largest of 57 WPAs managed by Leopold Wetland Management District and covers 2,171 acres. Six impoundments allow wa-ter-level control that creates different types of habitat favorable to diverse plants, wa-terfowl, songbirds, and other wildlife and

vegetation.The area is known for American and

least bitterns, yellow-headed blackbirds, black terns, marsh wrens and secretive rails. The group also will search for frogs, butter-flies and dragonflies among other wildlife.

The two-mile walk includes dikes that are usually dry but participants are asked to prepare for sun and mosquitoes. The marsh is on County M in Winnebago County near Rush Lake. From Oshkosh, take State 44 to State 91 until Waukau, then south two miles on County M in Pickett.

Explore Uihlein Marsh with Audubon

To commemorate the centennial of the First World War, the Oshkosh Public Muse-um will present “For Home and Country: World War I,” an exhibition that focuses on firsthand experiences of local men and women during the war.

A public reception to introduce the exhibition is set for 1 p.m. June 17. Light refreshments will be served. The first 50 fa-thers to visit will receive a special gift from the museum.

The World War I years were a time of profound change. After the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, local men enlisted or were drafted to save France from defeat, and many saw action overseas. While at home, life would never be the same for those left behind.

Among the highlights, visitors can lis-ten to the captivating letters sent home and the compelling music that gripped and mo-tivated the nation.

Museum director Brad Larson will present “It Was All the Hell Anybody Want-ed: Three Fox Valley National Guard Units in the Great War” at 6 p.m. July 18, where he will share the stories of triumph and sac-rifice of the 150th Machine Gun Battalion of the famous 42nd Rainbow Division.

The exhibition will run through Oct. 7 at 1331 Algoma Blvd. during regular mu-seum hours. More information is at osh-koshmuseum.org.

West falls in quarterfinals

The Oshkosh West boys tennis team dropped its WIAA Division 1 state quarter-final this last weekend, falling 6-1 to Brook-field East at the Nielsen Tennis Stadium in Madison.

The Wildcats got its lone win from top singles player Neel Raut, who recently fin-ished second at the individual state tourna-ment a week before.

Grant Counts and Jeremy Fleck lost in straight sets at the No. 2 and 4 spots, while Clayton Counts lost a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 match at 3 singles.

In doubles, all three teams of Matt Jor-gensen/Aaron Jorgensen, Caleb Schultz/Danny Rucinski and Jack LaFontaine/Seth Glamann lost in two sets.

This was the first trip to state as a team for Oshkosh West since 1999.

Dunn finishes T4 at state Lourdes/Valley Christian’s Dann

Dunn saved his best for last. After firing a 85 in day one of the

WIAA Division 3 boys golf state tourna-ment, which was held at University Ridge Golf Course in Verona, Dunn responded with a bogey-free, 2-under 70, to finish tied for fourth overall with a 155.

Sitting at tied for 17th after day one, Dunn parred his first 9 holes but then bird-ied his first hole on hole No. 2 (started on back) and then recorded his second birdie on No. 4. He went on to finish the round with five more pars, giving him 16 pars and two birdies on the day.

Spring Valley’s Tyler Leach won with a 150 (80-70) while St. Mary’s Springs’ Doyle Kelly was second with a 151 (75-76).Compiled by Alex Wolf, Herald contributor

Waterfest still provides some of the best entertainment value in the Upper Midwest.

“If Waterfest is going to sustain itself, it needs new fans — new, unique visitors,” Dempsey said. “We have done a lot of work with bands in the past that were cutting edge at the time and maybe even ahead of that.”

Waterfest will kick off June 21 at the Leach Amphitheater with a performance by Hairball, the “ultimate ‘80s rock tribute band.” Gates open at 5:45 p.m. and tickets are $10 before 7 p.m., then $15 after that. Teachers get in free with a school ID.

Manchester Orchestra should appeal to younger alternative rock fans. In addi-tion, Lukas Nelson, son of country legend Willie Nelson, will bring his roots rock band Promise of the Real to the Waterfest stage June 28. Remo Drive, a pop-punk band from Minnesota, will share the bill with Manchester Orchestra July 19. Remo Drive released its first full-length studio al-bum in 2017.

A couple of years ago, Waterfest brought in American Authors just as the band was getting hot on the national stage. Other modern acts include Howie Day, The Fray, Andy Grammar and The Revival-ists. Dempsey said attracting bands of that magnitude can be costly, but Waterfest re-lies on sponsors to reel in popular acts.

“We’ve delved into that (genre) more aptly than people give us credit for and most of the time we’ll get a bloody nose when we do, but we’ll keep doing it because we need to,” Dempsey said. “It is important for us to get new people in there.”

Dempsey also realizes Waterfest can’t stray from featuring the classic rock that’s been a staple of the festival for years. Along with Thorogood, this summer’s schedule includes Boz Scaggs, Michael McDonald and Loverboy.

“I have people who work for me at my day job, which is a banker. They’re consid-

ered millennials and they’ll go to Water-fest,” Dempsey said. “They even go see the classic rock guys, whether its Michael Mc-Donald or Boz Scaggs.”

Through the decades, Waterfest has de-veloped a loyal following with many of the same fans coming back every year. Joe Wil-liamson, a close friend of Dempsey’s, has attended since the series started in 1986 at the Fox Valley Technical College campus.

“It’s very top-notch entertainment and I’d be curious to know how many Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall-of-Famers performed at Water-fest,” Williamson said. “It’s a different cal-iber of performer he’s been able to bring in that you just don’t get at other musical series in the Fox Valley. How can you go wrong? It’s a nice summer night, the beer is flowing and the entertainment is top notch. I plan my summer schedule every Thursday night around Waterfest.”

Dempsey said the concert series real-ly started growing when he realized fans from outside of the Fox Valley were attend-ing, often spending the night in Oshkosh. Williamson, director of corporate sales for Best Western Premier Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center in downtown Osh-kosh, has seen first-hand Waterfest’s impact on the community.

“We feel the impact of all the people who come downtown on Thursday nights; it just brings so many people in,” Williamson said. “From an economic standpoint, boy, the bars and restaurants are real happy every Thursday. They pray for good weather.”

Dempsey hopes Waterfest will entertain fans for another three decades and beyond. He said keeping abreast of musical tastes and trends will be vital to the show’s success.

“We are challenged every year at creat-ing value that’s well received and appreciat-ed in our concert offering,” Dempsey said. “We have to continue to provide a value that nobody else can. That’s going to keep us on our toes forever. Our thing is to con-tinue to have Waterfest draw people into the community that otherwise would not have a reason to come.”

Operation Migration co-founder at EAAOperation Migration co-founder and

CEO Joe Duff will tell the story of his work with Bill Lishman and how they assisted bird migrations with ultralights at 7 p.m. June 21 in the EAA Aviation Museum.

Best known as the story that inspired the 1995 film “Fly Away Home,” Duff joined Lishman in 1993 to conduct the first human-led bird migration. Duff and Lish-man used two ultralights to lead 18 Canada geese from Ontario to Virginia.

Since its establishment in 1994, Op-eration Migration has worked to promote conservation efforts for several species

of birds through research, education, and partnerships. Operation Migration has conducted several mass migrations for a va-riety of bird species.

Duff has conducted ultralight-led mi-grations for sandhill cranes, trumpeter swans, ivory-billed woodpeckers, and led several whooping crane migrations out of Wisconsin from 2001 to 2016.

The presentation will take place in the Founder’s Wing at the EAA Aviation Mu-seum. Admission is free for EAA members and $5 for nonmembers.

Bernard A. RadigBernard A. Radig, 93, Oshkosh, passed

away Thursday, June 7, 2018. He was born June 23, 1924, in Oshkosh, the son of Au-gust and Rona (Lietzow) Radig. He at-tended Oshkosh Business College from September 1942 until June 1943 when he joined the Army, and was sent to the Army Finance School at Fort Benjamin

Harrison, IN. After Fi-nance School and oth-er related assignments Bernard was sent to England with the 116th finance disbursing sec-tion, and was later dis-charged from the Army on April 7, 1946, after receiving six medals

for his service. Bernard was united in mar-riage to Lois Vandersee at Trinity Lutheran Church in Oshkosh on August 6, 1966.

Bernard was employed by the Spoo Family for 11 years. In 1960 Bernard be-gan working for Oshkosh Corporation as a draftsman, and retired in 1987 as a service parts analyst.

Bernard enjoyed creating art but pre-ferred water color. He exhibited at the museum art fair and had his own exhibit of pencil drawings (Scenes of London) at the museum. More hobbies included model railroading which he enjoyed with his son Andy, going to supper clubs, and traveling. Bernard was a lifelong bicyclist and a mem-ber of the Spokesman Club, where he pub-lished their monthly news report. He had a fondness for Big Band Music and had an extensive collection. Bernard was a mem-ber of Trinity Lutheran Church.

Bernard is survived by his wife, Lois, and a son, Andrew.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. Thursday, June 14, 2018, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 370 Bowen Street, Os-hkosh, with Rev. Kelly Leary officiating. Entombment will be in Lake View Memo-rial Park, Oshkosh. Visitation will be at the church from 9:00 a.m. Thursday until the time of the service.
