Maino and the Mayor

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.

A musician who has been part of our Friday morning live music segments, Isaiah Dreissen, joins the show to talk about a few “projects” he has going on. First off is the Cedars Project. The “Cedars Project” in Little Chute refers to the Treaty of the Cedars, a 1836 agreement where the Menominee Indian nation ceded approximately 4 million acres of land to the U.S. government, opening up the Fox River Valley for settlement. Isaiah has created a special space to enhance communities through art and commerce. He also fills us in on the 4th annual Cedars Festival. It’s coming up on September 12th and 13th and will feature music from Feed The Dog, the Joseph Huber Trio, and more. We’re excited to watch this grow organically. Then Dennis Peters, and Ashley McDermid join for the Heights Pub & Parlor Music Series. This week we feature the music of Chris Hendricks. From Chris’s website: “Chris’s life story is like a beautiful ballad that has fluid movement, graceful moments, and inspiring emotions. He is an artist, an inspirational speaker and believes passionately in sharing his message of loving kindness, hope and the value of each and every person’s life…” His music and energy are just amazing! So blessed he joined us this morning.

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. This Veteran’s Salute is courtesy of Olson Legal Group, LLC in Berlin and Oshkosh.

Janelle Fisher from the Green Bay Press Times brings Marc Jimos and Ellen Moon with the Ashwaubenon High School Band. The band just returned from performing in New York for the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. We’re impressed with the experiences these kids and their band directors can take part in. A GREAT local story. That story leads into another great story of a five-generation business in Two Rivers! Schroeder’s Department store is featured in Teri Barr’s new “Slice of Wisconsin” feature, and she gives Jim and John an exclusive kick-off of the story!

The guys are joined by Sai Maldonado, a local boxer who’s preparing for the Golden Gloves in April. Originally from Puerto Rico, he got into boxing at the age of 9, with his father as his coach. Part of his training includes hitting the gym three times a day. Sai is hoping to go pro in the next 12 months, and with his determination, our bet is he’ll pull it off and rock it! Keep an eye out for this kid! Then we’re Moving With The Malcores, Ben & Deanna Malcore. They give us a great rundown of some of their available properties. They also reminded us about their grand opening at their new location, The Collective, which is coming up on Thursday, April 10th, from 4-6 pm.

Discussions of old bars and bowling alleys, OJ Simpson and Marcus Allen, and Vicki Laurence and Steven Tyler. All first-hour topics on the show!
