artist spotlightince Jessica Calderwood can remember,there is no one particular thing that hassparked her interest in creating art.“It’s more of just who I am,” says theMenasha-based metal and enamel artist whohas been showing her work in galleries sinceshe was an undergraduate student at theCleveland Institute of Art in her home stateof Ohio.Trained as a painter and metalsmith,Calderwood has been working with enamel forabout 15 years. Having sparked her curiosityafter taking a class in college, enameling is anancient practice of fusing glass to metal. She isfascinated by enamel’s creative properties andits historical standing as a “female-dominated‘marginal craft.’”“It’s a very craft-based tradition,”Calderwood says. “Most people are notfamiliar with it.”Drawings, sculptures and wearables (jewelry) are Calderwood’s main focuses. Commercial andSEntangled (Magnolia Grandiflora), enamel on copper,electroforming, sterling silver, 10” x 10” x 2”, 2012Her most recent series of worktouches on the feminine by subtlyaddressing women’s place and life incontemporary society. She does thisthrough the use of flowers, usingsymbolism and combining fragmentsof the human body with botanical and floral forms.from the publisherAcouple on the savanna faces a fastapproaching lion with lunch on his mind.“Adorable wife,” says the man, “Let us bolt tothe left in order to avoid calamity.”“No, no, your wonderful masculineness,”says the wife. “I believe we must dart with allhaste to the right, thereby depriving the younglion of easy pickings.”Some time lapses as they debate theperspicaciousness of the favored alternatives.Trying fervently to be fair with each other in6 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | March 2013non-profit galleries have showcased her work all around the country. While the Julie Artisans’Gallery in New York has been her most recent addition, Calderwood also has work on display inSan Diego, San Francisco and Penland, North Carolina.Most of her work that has gotten in galleries has come aboutthrough word-of-mouth and gallery owners who have invited her toshowcase her art. More impressively, Calderwood says her number ofshowcased works is growing.Name: Jessica CalderwoodResidence: MenashaMedium: metal and enamelPrice range: $500–10,000 and up“I created these works to be intentionally humorous and ironic,” Calderwood says. “Theseanthropomorphic beings are at once powerful and powerless, beautiful and absurd, inflated andamputated.”When she’s not teaching art at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Calderwood can befound in her basement studio which is home to most of her crafting. She explains that she lovesto work with her hands and that if she wasn’t an artist, she would probably be doing somethingelse that would keep her from being idle in the hands and mind.“I love getting lost in what I am doing; time feels like it stops when I’m doing it,” Calderwoodsays. “I love to express myself in other ways besides words.”Calderwood’s work will be on display during the Paine Art Center and Gardens’ Rooms ofBlooms exhibit and at the new Oshkosh Waterfront Hotel starting in April.For more information on Calderwood and her work, visit her website atwww.jessicacalderwood.com.— By Sara Steinobtaining their objective, even as the lionbears down on the pair, they agree tocompromise and holding hands rush towardthe lion.They dub their decision: sequestration.Marvin J.

Touchmark on West Prospect | Business ProfileFalls are one of the main reasons people lose their independenceAn exercise program that focuses onimproving leg strength and balance canhelp to reduce the risk of falling.Are you at risk for falling?Falls among older adults are the leading cause ofinjury-related hospitalizations. Two-thirds of olderadults hospitalized for a fall will be sent to a skillednursing or rehabilitation center for additional care.Many will not return to their homes. These data arereal and a matter of great concern to people of allages—but especially to people over the age of 60.There are four primary things you can do toprevent a fall, which are highlighted in the latestinformation from the National Center for InjuryPrevention and Control. (1)1. Begin an exercise program to improve your legstrength and balance. If you already exercise, focuson these specific goals as you choose yourexercises.2. Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review yourmedications. Many prescriptions can causeimpaired balance.3. Get annual eye checkups and update your glasses,if you wear them.4. Make your home safer by:•Removing clutter and tripping hazards•Putting railings on all stairs and adding grab barsin the bathroom•Having good lighting – especially on stairs•Avoid using ladders or taking other unnecessaryrisks that could compromise your balance andstability.Use the “Check Your Risk for Falling” checklist,which can help evaluate your risks and benefits. (2)Marge Coalman, EdD, Touchmark vicepresident of Wellness & Programs, has developed anAdvertisementaward-winning Fall Reduction and AwarenessProgram for Touchmark residents and the public.“Essential to this program is supporting people toevaluate the inherent risks of trying to do what theyhave always done — and evaluating the barriers orobstacles that could putthem at risk for a fall.”With this in mind,older adults should seeksupport in evaluatingwhen they shouldconsider moving toan environment thatprovides support andassistance. “Many peoplewait too long to makea proactive decision,”says Coalman. Shenotes that following aMarge Coalman, EdD life-changing fall, fartoo many people aretold they cannot go back to their previous setting,but they have not planned for a transition.“I cannot emphasize enough the importance ofproactive planning,” she says. “The mistaken beliefthat it will ‘never happen to me’ is at the heart oflife-changing injuries caused by falls.”Call 920-832-9100 to participate inTouchmark’s Fall Reduction Week, April 9–12.Space is limited.

not to be missedMarch calendar of eventsSeeing StarsOn March 20, 1998 the Barlow Planetarium atUWFox Valley in Menasha opened its doors asWisconsin’s largest planetarium. For the past 15years, the Barlow has been sharing the wonders ofthe universe with children, students, families andastronomy enthusiasts of the Fox Valley, NortheastWisconsin and beyond.Over the past four years, in the most difficulteconomy since the depression, the Barlow hasexperienced a 50 percent attendance growth in allaspects of its programs from student field trips andpublic astronomy programs to scouting and summercamps and even rock laser shows. In a recentmarket survey, Barlow’s attendance ranked in thetop 25 percent of planetarium’s at universities inthe U.S. – near the top in 2-year campuses.To celebrate this anniversary, the Barlow Planetariumwill be hosting speaker and astronomer Phil Plait,author of “Bad Astronomy” and“Death From the Skies,” host ofDiscovery Channel’s “Phil Plait’sBad Universe,” and debunkerof bad science and popularmisconceptions.

The presentation,including a Q&A, will be followed by a booksigning of Plait’s “Bad Astronomy.”Copies of the book will be available for sale at thepresentation.

Star-Powered ShowExtolled as a hurricane of the musical theaterworld by the New York Times, Audra McDonald isone of the most celebrated sopranos of our era.Coming to Appleton’s Lawrence Universityfollowing her Tony award-winning run of 322Broadway performances of “Porgy and Bess,” oneof the biggest names in the musical theater worldoffers Fox Citians a phenomenal opportunity tohear vocal music of the highest quality.“The reaction here has been one of profoundexcitement,” says Brian Pertl, Dean of the LawrenceConservatory. “She is one of the most importantmusical figures we’ve had in a number of years.”As a recipient of five Tony Awards and two GrammyAwards, McDonald has been lauded across all genres ofthe singing world, but don’t let her star powerintimidate you. While her masterclassoffers lifelong vocal students anexpert learning opportunity, theconcert will undoubtedly be “a greatintroduction to solo voice.”Besides musical theater, McDonald’sversatile voice provides a plethora ofpieces for a variety of musicalpalates. “Those who are nervousabout a classical vocal concertneedn’t be afraid,” says Pertl. TheMarch 10 concert offers “awonderful combination of an accessible program withone of the beautiful voices of our generation.”Something for everyone, including musically-mindedminors with parents willing to brave the 8pm downbeat.To reserve seats in the Lawrence Memorial Chapel call832-6749 or visit the Lawrence University Box office.—By Matt De StasioLawton Gallery, Theatre Hall,UW-Green Bay. 465-2271Post-Conceptual Glitter (AMastery of Fine ArtsPaine Art Center & Gardens,Oshkosh. 235-690310 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | March 2013Exhibition)Mar 7–Apr 4.

Arts & CultureFrom theGround UpBy Cameron CarrusWhen farmers sow asense of community,everyone reapsthe benefits,includingrestaurants,businesses andour own bodies.The Fox Cities arewell on their way toestablishing thisall-encompassingagricultural idealthrough collaborativecommunity initiatives.14 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | March 2013With advances in technology andtransportation, we now have access to any food wedesire, regardless from where it comes. It is easy toconsume without considering a food’s origin andits effects on the world. The CommunityInitiatives in Sustainable Agriculture(CISA) in the Fox Cities is makingan effort to bring the communityback to its roots and alert localsto resources available in theirown backyards.Riverview Gardens, a 70-acre urban farm near downtownAppleton, and Lawrence University will behosting a CISA conference April 5–7. Theconference will include hands-on informationalworkshops, farm tours and farm panels with aprimary emphasis on recruiting new farmers.CISA will function as the annual conference forthe new Community Farm Incubator program inthe Fox Cities area, which focuses on creatinga tight local food community. The CommunityFarm Incubator program ensures that newfarmers have the resources and opportunities togrow through relationships with restaurants,agriculture-related businesses and activitiesthat the community has to offer.“We want to build confidence insustainable agriculture as a worthwhilepursuit,” declares Riverview GardensManager Oren Jakobson, who volunteered tohelp organize the conference. “The limitingfactor [in the Fox Cities] is production andaccess to food, not demand.”He explains that although farming maynot bring in the big bucks, one can befinancially successful, and the intrinsic benefitsPhoto courtesy of Riverview Gardens.– time outdoors, flexibility of hours and access tohigh quality food – are invaluable.As Jakobson suggests, demand for local food inthis area is significant. Riverview Gardens, which ispreparing for only its second growing season, hasalready made enough connections with farms,distributors and restaurants to create a Local FoodAcademy (LFA) that Jakobson refers to as a “localfood marketing coalition.” The LFA, which includeslocal establishments such as Gourmet Grassfed inOshkosh, Kangaroostaurant, Sun Brothers Naturalsand Keune’s Authentic Foods among others, meetsfour to six times annually to promote collectivelearning and networking for a varied group ofparticipants in the Fox Cities’ food economy.Brady Ahrens, head chef of Appleton’s StoneCellar Brewpub, has been cooking with local andorganic produce for the last four years. He buysproduce extensively from Riverview Gardens,Keune’s Authentic Food in Seymour, ParkridgePhoto courtesy of Riverview Gardens.

He attributes his access to localfood to the area’s progressive demographic andtheir support of local food producers. Ahrenselaborates, “People around here are educatingthemselves on food. And with the presence of newdocumentaries that address the issue, people areconcerned about their health.”This community concern manifests itself inmany ways. Kirk Vosters, co-owner of SunBrothers Naturals Farm in Appleton, notes thatfarmers markets have been growing in popularitysince he and his brother Kendall started the farmin 2010. Although Vosters believes that “localagriculture is just a part of life,” as it is essential forpeople to grow food when a community demandsit, he also acknowledges the instrumentality of thecommunity’s forward-thinking attitude in allowinglocal agriculture to thrive in the Fox Cities.CISA is recruiting from a broad range ofcommunity members, all of differing ages, interestsand professions. Jakobson comments that the FoxCities area is currently at the bottom of what theycan support agriculturally so there is hugepotential for growth. Every new producer willeither address or create a different demand for thecommunity and a diverse group of farmers canhelp meet these growing demands. Ahrens agreesthat currently, more local farms can only benefitour community.Ideally this more-the-merrier attitude will helpgrow agriculture inthe community,The Community Initiatives inSustainable Agriculture (CISA)conference will be held April 5–7.Registration is open online atcommunityfarmincubator.orguntil March 15. Contactinfo@communityfarmincubator.orgfor more information.but differingopinions aboutf a r m i n gcomplicate theidea that quantityis the solution toa g r i c u l t u r a lgrowth. Vostersasserts, “you haveto want to be afarmer, not abusinessman, inagriculture. [One’s] motives cannot be financial.That will work itself out if you believe in whatyou’re doing.”Ahrens believes that farming should bebusiness-driven, though he also wants a qualityproduct. “Knowledge of the source is important...Iwant to know how [the food] is grown and the soilcontents, as well as the farmers and family,” hesays. In Voster’s view, the farmer whose truepassion is agriculture will generate the superiorproduct. In turn, Ahrens will purchase thatfarmer’s product, as the success of his restaurantdepends on it.Though financial success may not be everyfarmer’s main concern, it is essential to theirgrowth. Jakobson stresses the importance ofsimple business concepts like resourcemanagement among producers to create a unifiedagricultural community. Jakobson uses theexample of seed-purchasing. If one farm cancoordinate its seed-purchasing with surroundingfarms, they can place a bulk order and distributethe seeds to the other farms at a cheaper price.The CISA conference will address businessplanning concepts such as these.Distributors such as Trust Local Foods in LittleChute and Jakobson’s meetings with the LocalFood Academy bridge the gap between agricultureand business. Trust Local Foods compiles theproducts of 54 farms from Appleton to Janesville,and distributes them to coffee shops, restaurantsand nutrition centers from Green Bay toSheboygan. This “mediating” makes access to foodconvenient for businesses and aids small farmers indistributing their product.Whether your passion tends toward businessor agriculture, it is possible to contribute to thesuccess of local food in the Fox Cities. “[When]local chefs purchase good, healthy food fromhonest local farmers and showcase it on theirmenus for hungry patrons, [it] completes the circlein the community; economically, socially andenvironmentally,” says Vosters.Photo courtesy of Riverview Gardens.March 2013 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | 15

At Home2013 NARILEVEL BEST AWARDSBy Amelia Compton WolffThis year’s Level BestAwards, a celebrationof area contractors andtheir remodeling projects,included an array ofaward-worthysubmissions frommembers of the FoxValley chapter of theNational Association ofthe Remodeling Industry(NARI). From aJapanese-inspiredbathroom renovationto a wheelchair-friendlyhome kitchen makeover,our panel of expertjudges selected the2013 standouts.A special thank you to our judges, who lent theirexpertise and time to the contest: Bob McKenny,interior design instructor at Fox Valley TechnicalCollege; Marge Stammer, broker associate atColdwell Banker; Trevor Frank, senior architectat Short Elliott Hendrickson, Inc. and PamelaVan Hout, interior designer at Short ElliottHendrickson, Inc.JUDGES’ CHOICEWinner: Timber InnovationsThe owner of this home kitchen was injured in an accident which left him confined to a wheelchairand unable to work. He took over many household duties including the preparation of family meals, buthis existing kitchen presented many challenges. An obtrusive island cabinet extended too far into thefloor plan to clear with a wheelchair, a narrow sink alcove made its access cumbersome and a datedstorage system limited access to items at the rear of cabinets.The homeowners desired a kitchen that would be easily navigable for a wheelchair, while still beingfunctional for the whole family. Timber Innovations of Kimberly was able to create practical solutionsthat freed their client of obstacles and secured them the Judges’ Choice designation.“Not that this is the most expensive project or most grandiose, but it’s a really good example of howa contractor listened and put together something really valuable for the client," judge Trevor Frank says.Timber Innovations moved the sink to a longer, adjacent wall which allowed for more uninterruptedcounter space and created a more open floor plan. Rollout shelving was incorporated in the pantry andupper cabinets were kept low for reachability. Judge Pam Van Hout especially appreciated the drop downdrawer front which hides a knife drawer and butcher block designed to roll out over a wheelchair.The judges agreed that the biggest success of this project can be found in what is unseen: itsaccessibility for all members of the family.“It’s the best overall because it showed outstanding universal design as well as good, practical designwork for all users,” judge Bob McKenny says.18 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | March 2013

JUDGES’ CHOICE RUNNER-UPWinner: Welhouse Construction ServicesWith a small, 1930s kitchen closed off from the rest of the house, thehomeowners longed for an open floor plan that was conducive to causaldining and entertaining, all while maintaining the home’s original character.Welhouse Construction Services of Kaukauna designed a kitchenconcept that created a more functional work triangle, allowed fully-accessibleentry into the space andmaximized cabinet space.After removing a load-bearingwall between the kitchen anddining room, a granite-toppedsnack bar was added as anadditional dining area."I definitely liked howthey kept the character of thehome with the archedopenings,” Frank says. “It wasalso very creative how theyrecessed the refrigerator so itdidn’t protrude into the spaceby creating that little pocketin the wall."Van Hout noted the beautiful hickory cabinets, including the newlyadded floor-to-ceiling pantry, as well as the variance in the tile flooring.“The larger tile pattern makes the room feel a lot bigger,” she says.RESIDENTIAL BATH OVER $20,000Winner: Distinctive RenovationsAs frequent travelers, the homeowners of this bathroom redo requestedan updated master bath capable of showcasing art pieces from theiradventures. Space was an issue as the original dressing area consisted of threeclosets, taking up much of the ground level bathroom’s square footage. Thehomeowners desired an extended floor plan, updated vanity, more naturallight and sliding panels to complement the closet doors.Distinctive Renovations of Appleton was able to creatively fulfill theirclients’ desires by installing an acrylic block window which allowed for light,but also maintained privacy. Japanese Shoji screens were installed over thecloset and as a privacy screen for the toilet/shower room after the existingdoor and wall were removed.“This project shows a total transformation from old to new and met theexpectations of the homeowner,” judge Marge Stammer says. “I love the wellblendedwood work.”McKenny was impressed by the custom-made maple vanity with twinKohler vessel sinks. Japanese-inspired vanity legs and oriental hardware arein keeping with the bathroom’s East-meets-West theme.How do you measure up?If you’re involved in theremodeling industry, why aren’t youa member of NARI?Join today!March 2013 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | 19

RESIDENTIAL UNIVERSAL DESIGNWinner: Tod Raehl Remodeling &ConstructionStaying within the home’s existing footprintand ensuring its resale value were top priorities inthis bathroom renovation which was required toaccommodate a special needs child.Tod Raehl Remodeling & Construction ofNeenah was given the challenge of devising a wayto control the water from the shower drain whilenot impeding the entrance and providing a vanityfor storage without it coming in contact with anywater.The project presented many challenges, all ofwhich were impressively met. The existing floordeck was dropped to prevent water buildup in theentry. A simple glass panel was installed to keepthe toilet area dry and the custom vanity wasdesigned to be wall hung with a split drawer to fitaround the plumbing.McKenny appreciated the innovative designthat the contractor developed to accommodate atrolley track used for a lift.“They really made this functional, but alsolook sharp,” he says. “There’s a lot of thought thatwent into that.”Thinking About Remodeling?There are a lot of options out there, and we’d like to help you choosethe right one for you.

Alex FehrenbachCalvin AndersenSteve CatlinGROW LOCAL, NEENAHThe Organic ChampionsIn 2011 Neenah natives Calvin Andersenand Steve Catlin, both 24, teamed up withcollege roommate Alex Fehrenbach, 23, to formGrow Local, a start-up farming operation offeringsustainable produce grown using organicmethods. A greenhouse-enclosedaquaponics system, which combinesaquaculture (raising fish in tanks)and hydroponics (growing plants inwater), is one example of howGrow Local plans to create asustainable food source that willinvigorate the communityeconomically andenvironmentally.“The Fox Valley is a greatmarket for local food and rightnow we’re finding, to our pleasure,that local food is underservedhere,” Catlin says.The trio has overcome somegrowing pains, because figuring outhow to run a business as well as afarm is no easy feat. Luckily thesethree aren’t afraid to get their handsdirty (and we don’t just mean in theirraised soil beds made from a repurposedCranky Pat’s stage). Whether it’sadjusting the temperature of thegreenhouse or finding an organic ironsupplement for the plants, the GrowLocal guys have discovered adaptability isa vital component of their ecosystem.But sustainable agriculture is not theonly goal at Grow Local — sustainablebusiness is also high priority. Thecurrent operation on Park Avenue inNeenah is a pilot project to prove themodel, Andersen says, and is the firststep in a larger plan to franchiseGrow Local. Providing the tools,training and resources successfulfarmers would need, the partnershope to help establish Grow Localstart-ups in communitiesthroughout the state.“We kind of had the notionwhen we started that we wanted tosave the world,” says Fehrenbach,who acknowledges that the notionhas evolved a bit. “Our vision forthe future is still the same. We wantto be an integral part of thecommunity for education and food, forentrepreneurship.”March 2013 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | 23

The Handmade HeroYou could say thatMichelle Aspero, 37, was cutfrom the entrepreneurialcloth.“I collected vintage[clothing] when I wasyounger and wanted to opena vintage store at one point,”she says. “I’ve always hadthat entrepreneur in me.”Eleven years ago,Aspero, a self-taught sewer,founded dainty daisies as anonline store to make moneywhile being a stay-at-homemom. As a brand, daintydaisies is dedicated tobespoke clothing andaccessories, but these aren’tyour grandma’s crocheteddoilies. From bow ties thatdouble as hair bows toAspero’s signature wrapMichelle Asperoskirts, dainty daises is aDAINTY DAISIES,handmade haven brimmingAPPLETONwith trendy, one-of-kind items.Aspero opened her firststorefront six years ago inOshkosh and relocated todowntown Appleton in January2012 after discovering her currentspace for lease. Entrepreneurship isa delicate dance and Asperobelieves evolution is essentialfor any “art-repreneur” toflourish. Beginning in June,dainty daisies will return to itsroots by refocusing as an online store only.A a true proponent of the handmade movement, Asperoorganizes two annual urban craft fairs at Becket’s in Oshkosh,Handmade for the Holidays and Fall in Love with Handmade.Both fairs serve as a network breeding ground for local crafters.Aspero also maintains a presence at the Downtown AppletonFarm Market and presents her goods at home parties and trunkshows.For small business success, Aspero suggests finding footing inyour unique passion and not wavering from it.“Stay true to yourself, be original and do what you love,” shesays. “Things I did in the beginning were not necessarily me.Now what I do is 180 percent me.”The Interactive Tech InnovatorIf the words “augmented reality” have you thinking sciencefictionfantasy, you’re not alone, but it’s the stuff of Star Trek thatScott Koffarnus specializes in. (Check out this issue’s cover for aprime example.)Koffarnus, 51, is the CEO and creative director of Cineviz, anexperiential media company in Green Bay that works with clientsranging from Bemis to Nickelodeon in creating innovative brandexperiences by merging creative content with technology.Cineviz, which employs 18 staff members and counting, workssubstantially in the event world as well. For example, atMilwaukee’s near-zero waste music festival Rock the Green,Cineviz supplied the interactive YrWall Digital Graffiti Wall soconcert goers could create eco-friendly works of art by tagging agiant screen with a modified spray paint can. The can ‘sprays’ infrared light which is tracked by a computer and appears wherever thecan is sprayed.“This is where the world has gone and continues to go,”Koffarnus says. “It’s moving faster in this realm than ever before.If you’re in the creative world you should always be striving to dosomething to the next level.”Koffarnus, a Brillion native, launched Cineviz in 2008 afterfinding opportunities in the digital signage market. The companyhas since moved into the interactive world of touchscreens andgesture recognition. This isn’t Koffarnus’s first rodeo, havinglaunched his initial company Freshpaint Digital in 2003. Withplenty of experience behind him, Koffarnus brings persistence aswell as passion to his current venture.“Any entrepreneur makes a lot ofmistakes,” he says. “You’re going to fail alot, but it’s about whether or not you havethe stamina to pick yourself, learn, moveon and do it again.”Scott KoffarnusCINEVIZ,GREEN BAY24 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | March 2013

Amanda WrightAMANDA CUPCAKE,NEW LONDONThe SweetDreamerAmanda Wright, 33,describes her sparkleenshroud,tutu-donned,superhero personaAmanda Cupcake asa mash-up of fourthings: a pinch ofDr. Seuss's whimsy, a dash ofLucille Ball's humor, a sprinkleof her inner child and a splashof Ellen DeGeneres’s dancemoves.Amanda Cupcake reigns ather Cupcake Mansion, locatedoff Highway 45 south of NewLondon, in an 1848 farmhouseturned bakeshop on a 75-acrestead named Irish Acres. It ishere where Wright spends eachweek baking and bedazzlinghundreds of cupcakes that bear astriking resemblance to herself:impossibly colorful and over-thetop,like Rainbow Brite broughtto life.“The main ingredientin my cupcakes is love,”Wright says. “I put glitterypieces of my heart in each cupcake that I bake.”Despite her sprinkles and sparkle, Wrightdoesn't come across saccharine. Maybe it's knowingshe left behind a fast-paced career in the L.A. fashion industry soshe could return to her hometown of Waupaca and aid her parentsthrough illness that lends her a certain credibility. Wright turned tobaking for solace when her parents fell ill. She got her professionalstart working out of Cronies Cafe’s licensed kitchen and officiallybecame Amanda Cupcake, LLC in May 2011. Today Wright sellstreats retail at her Cupcake Mansion, wholesale and creates customorders for weddings and celebrations.Wright possesses a kind of scrappiness you might not expectfrom a girl in five-inch, emerald green heels, but you would expectfrom anyone who, when faced with adversity, decides to start herown business. Wright’s success story of tenacious self-reinventionmakes her dream of dumping glitter over the Fox Valley from acupcake-shaped G6 jet seem a little more viable.“I look at nothing as impossible," she says. "I can conquer itall through cupcakes.”The Feline CommunicatorPlunging into entrepreneurship is scary enough, but it palesin comparison to being padlocked in a double-enclosure with abig, hungry cat.“Until you’ve heard a tiger eat a full leg of lamb, bone and all,you don’t have any idea what fear is,” says 42-year-old ScottShipps, head trainer and owner of Appleton-based Fluent Felinewhich specializes in feline training and behavioral modificationtherapies.In 2000, the former Navy medic was working as a televisionnews anchor near Las Vegas when an assignment took him to BigCat Encounters Ranch, a 20-acre grassland habitat that is hometo several rare tigers. Shipps hit it off with owner Karl Mitchelland that day had a life-changing interaction with a group of tigercubs. Shipps began working with Mitchell in training andhandling big cats for TV, movies and advertising.After relocating to Appleton in 2011 due to his wife’s job,Shipps saw an opportunity in the local market so he enrolled inFox Valley Technical College’s E-Seed entrepreneurship trainingseries which he credits for helping Fluent Feline get up andrunning.Since officially launching Fluent Feline in March 2012,Shipps has worked with roughly 50 clients locally. Sure, he canshow you how to make your cat jump through hoops and ride onyour shoulder, but Shipps’s mission is more about tackling thebehavioral issues with which many cat owners are plagued.“Anyone with a house cat is going to eventually have abehavioral problem and I can fix it,” he says. “No problem isunfixable.”Getting his share of raised eyebrows when people learn of hiswork, Shipps believes incredulous reactions should only serve asfuel for any entrepreneur with an outside-the-box vision.“You’ve got to blindly believe in your own dream when yougot nothing but naysayers.”Scott ShippsFLUENT FELINE,APPLETONMarch 2013 | foxcitiesmagazine.com | 25

DiningCooking with BeerBy Samantha ZinthOnce reserved for frat parties and tailgate zones, beer is gaining prominence in fine diningthroughout the Fox Cities. With the growing popularity and availability of craft beers andmicrobrews, local foodies are developing a taste for beer beyond the bar. We asked five localchefs for recipes to pull your favorite brew from pint to plate.Chef Kevin Havinga, Main EventSteakhouse, Little ChuteWe’re accustomed to enjoying a cold beer witha piping hot steak, but when used in preparation,beer can make an already tender cut even moresucculent. This beer-based glaze brings a depth offlavor that accents the meat without overpoweringit.“Dark beer is ideal for a glaze as it doesn’t breakdown during cooking,” Chef Kevin Havingaexplains. “The fruit and sugars really complementthe thicker beer, resulting in a sweet, smoky finish.”Rib-eye with Guinness Glaze16 oz. rib-eye steak12 oz. Guinness1/4 cup brown sugar1/2 cup honey2 Tbsp. chopped pineapple1 Tbsp. soy sauceSalt and pepper, to tasteIn a small saucepan, combine Guinness,brown sugar, honey, pineapple and soysauce. Bring mixture to a boil and reduceheat. Reduce glaze by approximately halfand season with salt and pepper. Cook ribeyeto medium/medium-rare and pour glazeover the meat.

According to Chef LeahFogle of the Appleton Beer Company (opening thisspring), stout beer is a natural pairing for chocolatedesserts.“Stout beer has a dark roasted malt withcharacteristics similar to coffee,” she says. “The rich,toasted flavor of the malt enhances the chocolate,making it more robust.”Chocolate Stout CupcakesCupcakes:1 1/2 cups chocolate stout(Guinness recommended)4 oz. unsalted butter3/4 cup Dutch-processed cocoa powder2 cups dark brown sugar3/4 cup sour cream2 eggs1 tsp. vanilla extract2 cups all-purpose flour2 1/2 tsp. baking sodaPreheat oven to 325 degrees.

Braising imparts intense flavor byslowly simmering cuts of meat in a small amount ofcooking liquid, in this case, beer.“The ale adds a nice malty taste to the meat,”Chef Brady Ahrens says. “The fattier cut pulls thebeer in really well, making it exceptionally tender.You can smell the beer coming off the plate.”

Q.A.ask Chef JeffHave a culinary question? Send us an email or go to ourwebsite and click on Your Input.What are some more modern takes on traditionalveggie preparations? –– Lulu, OshkoshSince the dawn of time(I presume), folks have beentrying to come up with new andinventive ways to incorporatevegetables in their diets. Whilemany people probably still considervegetables a colorful adornment to the featured item of the meal, mostpeople need to add substantially more vegetable consumption to theirdiets. Some of the more trendy preparations (modern, if you will)include the following:Sautés: Many vegetables lend themselves extremely well to this colorfulpreparation, which when done properly, should add very little fat to thecooking process. Almost any vegetable can be sautéed as long as theyare cut to a size appropriate to their cooking time (the firmer thevegetable, the longer it will take to cook, like carrot versus zucchini).Sautés can be enhanced at the conclusion of the cooking process with alittle flavored oil or balsamic vinegar, fresh cut herbs, fresh squeezedcitrus or a little grated hard cheese.Roasted Medleys: Especially suited for root vegetables, prepare them bycleaning and cutting them to the desired size, rubbing or spraying themwith a little oil and roasting them in a relatively hot oven. Challengeyourself to roast different veggies together including carrots, turnips,parsnips, squashes, peppers, onions and potatoes. Variety will provideoptimum color, flavor and texture variations.Purees: While some readers may consider this “baby food,” there issomething special about the flavor that can be established with pureesof parsnips, carrots, peas, butternut squash, cauliflower and all sorts ofpotatoes.Incorporations: Dishes like pastas and rices are perfect for theincorporation of vegetables. You can choose to prepare the vegetables inlarge distinguishable pieces or diced small or minced to be lessdistinguishable.More on the Web∂ Visit foxcitiesmagazine.com for Chef Jeff’s chock-full-ofveggiespasta prima vera recipe.D R I N KOF THE MONTHJennifer Kuehn, owner of the durty leprechaun Irish pub, serves up thisfun St. Patty’s Day sipper to get the Fox Cities thinking spring andshamrocks.IRISH GOLDRecipe courtesy of:the durty leprechaun,Appleton2 oz Tullamore Dew Irish Whiskey1 oz Peach Schnappsginger aleorange juiceMix whiskey and schnapps in ahighball glass filled with ice.
