a tough and tricky and delicate balancebeing a parent and being a friend.
(03:16):
How do you approach this when itcomes to your kids. We'll talk with
our friends over at Life Tools,Tutoring and Coaching about that delicate balance.
All right, a busy show.Like I said, let's turn our focus
to Mental Health Awareness Month in themonth of May. Hopefully this is not
the first time you've heard about thefocus of mental health in the month of
May, and Katelpa Health one ofour organizations in the community that does so
(03:38):
much, especially for our youngest kiddosout there to help them navigate those challenges.
We have some voices joining us instudio with details on their upcoming Awareness
Month theme, where to start mentalhealth in a changing world, and the
fundraising goals that they have as wellto keep and continue supporting our kids.
(04:00):
Cindy Summer is with us in studio, director of Development and Marketing with Katlpa
Hi Cindy, Welcome back to theshow. Hi, great to be here,
Thanks for having us. Good tosee you, and also the president
and CEO of Katelpa, doctor TracyGuy, you joining us here as well.
Good morning to you, Tracy,Thank you so much. Good morning,
it's so great to be here.Well, Tracy, I will start
(04:20):
with you because we have not hadthe opportunity to connect yet on the air.
I'm so honored to have you instudio with us, and I'm hoping
you might be able to fill usin and remind our listeners a bit about
the work of KATALPA and your journeywith the organization as well. Oh,
thank you so much. Yes,I've been with Katalpa about two and a
half years now, trying to fillsome very large shoes of their departing CEO,
(04:44):
and it's been a wonderful journey thusfar. We have worked really hard
to provide the highest level of servicesavailable to the children in our community,
and I think we do a reallygood job of that. It's a very
unique organization supported by three competing healthcaresystems, which says something about their commitment
(05:06):
to our community, and we providevery comprehensive care. So whether you are
a child who needs an evaluation oran assessment done, whether you need traditional
therapy either individual group in our officesat your school, or whether you need
medication management from one of our psychiatristsor one of our apmps. We've got
(05:29):
everything covered there. It's a onestop shop for caring for our children.
Yeah, Sindy, anything to addto that, No, I think Tracy
did a good job. I mean, we see just over eight thousand kids
a year. Last year we hadover sixty one thousand appointments I think,
and serve kids zero at eighteen yearsold. Cool. So that's kind of
what I wanted to ask to youknow. I know it's not a topic
(05:53):
that we have not addressed in regardsto the pandemic affecting mental health across the
board. Our kids especially impacted byby the challenges of that. So my
question is kind of where are weat in twenty twenty four, How are
the kids doing? What are youseeing? Well? Gosh, I hope
it's not a surprise to most thatour kids are still struggling post pandemic.
(06:15):
We do some outreach with daycare andpreschool providers, and we're understanding from them
that this is the worst year yetfor the kids who are entering preschool and
daycare, so they're struggling on anumber of levels. I think the world
has changed a lot from when Iwas young. I'm quite a bit older
(06:35):
than most of your young parents.But kids are worried about many more things,
both locally and globally, and theydon't get a break when they get
home and just have family time anymore. So they are in contact with pressures
of life almost constantly. And soI do think we need to do more
(06:59):
to support and Katalpa is continuing tobuild providers. We've just added a new
postdoctoral fellowship program for psychologists and thatI think will help us continue to meet
the needs of this community which aregrowing. Yeah, and I mean,
if there's one thing that we know, we know that the treatment works.
So having an organization like Katalpa Healthright in our community right here is just
(07:23):
a huge benefit to all of ourkids in the Fox Valley. Excellent.
You're located the opposite side of CollegeAvenue from us, the west side of
College Avenue. That space I'm surefill to the brim with kids and with
those providers as well. Yep,we have that location in Ampleton, but
then we also have a smaller locationin ash Gosh. We do a lot
of telehealth appointments too, and thenwe're in over thirty schools in the Fox
(07:46):
Valley too. Excellent. Well,hopefully our listeners getting a nice refresher on
Katalpa Health. And that's when we'regonna now switch into May and what you're
working on in the month of May. So Cindy tell us a little bit
about this on this theme where tostart, which is a great place where
to start mental health in a changingworld. Yeah, So, like Tracy
(08:07):
touched on before, Katapa Health isa really unique organization supported by those three
healthcare systems, but then our fourthpartner is really the community members in the
Fox Valley area. We are anonprofit, so we're fully supported by people.
So we're running a campaign in Mayaround Mental Health Awareness Month. We
have a ten thousand dollars match fromCatherine and Jen Davis that we're looking for
(08:33):
to people to support us, andwe have a bunch of things going on.
We're doing a change drive with otherorganizations. We're also doing one at
Katapa Health. We have a lotof resources on our website so if people
want to go on there and lookfor a way they can bring some of
our communications to their companies. Theycan go right on there. We have
(08:54):
a partner toolkit on there with differentways that their companies can be involved with.
Okay, we're going to take apause when we come back digging a
bit deeper into the month's campaign,including a couple of key dates for the
community to participate in, and thenalso learning more about the celtelpl Cares Financial
Assistant Fund that helps make sure thatevery child has access to some great care.
(09:16):
So stick with us more with CATLPAHealth right here on Focus Fox Valley
Life, Life, Life, andwelcome back to Focus Fox Valley on w
(09:48):
HB Y eleven, twenty four isthe time on this Monday a focus on
mental health and Catelpa Health which doesso much to support kiddos out there in
need of some extra help and somehealth extra work. And we are learning
about their May mental Health Awareness campaign. Their theme is where to start mental
(10:09):
health in a changing World. Wehave joining us here today doctor Tracy Gayu,
the President and CEO of Katelpa.Also Cindy Summer is here director of
Development and Marketing. And I knowthat you're You're focused on three areas,
as you mentioned, Cindy, inthis campaign. I want to start with
Katelpa cares. Uh. This isa financial assistance program for for kids out
(10:31):
there. How does it work andhow do families take advantage of this?
What can you tell us? Sothis is a program that's totally funded by
community members and it's a program youcan apply online for it, but also
it's for underinsured or people that maybejust have high deductibles, So anybody can
(10:52):
apply at any time, and wejust want to make sure that everybody has
access, you know, that needsit, no matter a bit to pay
an ability to pay, that wecan support that. So at any time,
anybody can apply and we just makesure everyone can get in and get
the help they need when they needit. Yeah, this has been a
popular program though, correct, Tracy, it really has, and I think
(11:13):
over the last three years we've givenover one hundred and thirty thousand dollars away
for families that really, I mean, there's nothing worse than being a parent
and being worried about your child andto have that as a resource for the
families who approach us. About fiftypercent of our general population is on Medicaid,
(11:33):
so they tend to be more vulnerablefinancially, and about sixty percent of
our patient population in psychiatry is onMedicaid, so we really deal with some
vulnerable children and their families in thecommunity. So having this resource available for
them is a tremendous benefit and itreally speaks to how our community steps up
(11:56):
to support the most vulnerable. Imean, when the community leaders walked together
into the three healthcare systems and saidyou need to do better by our children.
We need to collectively do a betterjob. They did then and they
continue to do so today. Soit's really wonderful, excellent. So this
program cot helpal Cares kind of justfills in the gaps when it comes to
(12:18):
that coverage. I'm seeing a numberhere of about forty two unique clients in
twenty twenty three, and like yousaid, over one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars in the last three years,which is incredible community funds though, So
the community is who made this possible. Yep. Absolutely, I mean last
year we did over fifty thousand dollarsin support for tooplic Cares programs, so
(12:39):
we definitely need to keep raising thosefunds. That match from Catherine and John
Davis really is helpful this year,and we're hoping to use every cent of
that ten thousand dollars match me.Yeah, I want to ask about the
stigma when it comes to mental healthand we want our children to have the
best possible care. Do you seethat stigma when it comes to kids or
(13:01):
what would your message be to someonewho maybe hears about a friend or a
loved one or a neighbor whose childis receiving care like this. What's the
message there? You know? Ithink it's a more challenging discussion for people
in my generation. So if you'reolder, children these days seem to be
very comfortable discussing mental health in away that wasn't there when I was a
(13:24):
child, So I think there isa generational gap there. But every parent
everywhere who is ever worried about achild would like to know where to go
and receive help. So I thinkthe messaging when you're a parent is reach
out to other parents who have childrenwho may have gone through something similar.
(13:45):
We're not alone. The number ofkids out there who are worried and anxious
or depressed is large, so parentsare not alone either. I love that
message and if there's a parent outthere listening, who's in the weeds right
now? And I was thinking,oh wow, I feel over wholmed.
Reach out to Katalpa or hopefully youalreadier in that process or something similar,
(14:05):
because there is help out there ifyou need it. Really is well.
I want to ask about some keydates in all of this. I know
the fund is the drive right now, the chain Be the Change Drive happening
right now, kicked off today,So I'm glad you could be here today
to kind of kick this off.Yeah, so we have not only are
we trying to raise funds this month, but we're also wanting to spread awareness
(14:26):
about Katalpa Health and our resources.So we are doing the Be the Change
Drive the whole month of May here, but we're also asking for people to
help spread awareness for us by wearinggreen on May sixteenth. May sixteenth is
be Seen in Green Day for MentalHealth. So get your team members together,
your friends, take a picture andsome green and take us in it.
(14:50):
And then we're also doing an eventat the end of the month on
May twenty second called the Coffee atKatalpa, and that's where we're just inviting
community members to come in, havea couple with Tracy Scott, our chief
clinical officer, and just ask anyquestions you have. If there's any topics
around mental health that you want todiscuss with us. It's just kind of
(15:11):
an open house to come and havethose conversations. Perfect if you are curious
about what the facility looks like,if you've never been, this is kind
of your open house chance to doso. Yes, yep, excellent.
That's May twenty second, where you'regreen on May sixteenth, packer fans.
I know you've got plenty of greenout there, so no excuses. We
are in Wisconsin, by the way. And where can people go if they
(15:33):
want to donate to the Kotelpa Carescampaign as well? Yeah, so you
can go to our web our websitedolpahealth dot org. You can donate right
online there, or of course,you know, stop in our mail in
a checker cash anytime. Perfect.One final thing to wrap up our conversation,
looking ahead to an annual event thatgets quite quite the chatter around town.
(15:54):
That would be the pop event forKatalpa. What can you tell us
about it this year? Yeah,so, of course I'm super excited about
that and cannot tell you very manydetails because it's a secret. Our first
clue will be coming out at theend of the month as to what theme
we're doing and what location. Butmark your calendar now because I can tell
(16:15):
you it will be Saturday, Septemberfourteenth, which is a week later than
we usually do it. So putthat on your calendar now and expect the
unexpected. Okay, like they don'ttell you anything. I mean, we
don't know location, we don't knowtheme, nothing yet, but we do
have the date. So that's perfectSaturday September fourteenth for that pop event.
Tracy and Cindy, thank you forbeing here. Anything else you can think
(16:37):
to add before we part wasys today. No, just thank you to this
remarkable community that really comes together toensure children receive the very best behavioral health
care. It truly is an honorto work in this community. Wonderful.
Thank you both for being here today. We'll link up the Kutelpa theme this

Here is Rob Zimmer and welcome backto Focus Fox Valley on Whby eleven thirty
(17:41):
eight. The time here and Mother'sDay approaches this weekend, in particular,
in case you've forgotten or have losttrack of time, Hey, we get
it. But if you're also scramblingand wondering what to do for the mom
in your life, the mother figurein your life, the person who has
acted as mom, whatever that momtitle means to you, there is a
(18:04):
beautiful and wonderful Mother's Day themed concertthat's coming up this Friday night, and
I can't wait to tell you moreabout it. I can't wait to learn
more about it with all of you. As my friend Jenny Vandanhuvel joins us
in studio here today. Hi Jenny, good to see you. Hello,
Thank you for having us, Thanksfor inviting Also Esther here with Esther Azabrowski,
(18:26):
who's singing in this concert. Hi, Esther, Hi, thank you
for having me too, Thank youfor coming here today. All right,
so we're going to share more onthis beautiful concert and all the details around
it the free childcare that's provided.My goodness, Jenny, you've thought of
everything. But I would love tohear the story behind it and where the
idea for this came from and thatwhat does that journey look like? So
(18:48):
p listen, Well, I mightpass that one over to Esther, because
this concert was actually Esther's idea.She came to us a number of us
who are moms and musicians and friends, and had a great idea, why
don't you tell a little Sure,absolutely, I would love to yes.
About a year ago, I realizedI just keep running into all these amazing
musicians who are all moms, andI was like, what if we just
(19:11):
bring all these moms together to doa concert to celebrate Mother's Day? And
while we're doing that and support awonderful non profit organization it's called Vita in
Appleton and which supports like free healthcarefor expecting moms and also new moms with
(19:33):
babies. So that's what we're doing. After one year of planning. Wow,
that is beautiful. The phrase ittakes a village kind of comes to
mind with all of that. Andif you find yourself made me in a
position of parenting that was unexpected oryou're just uncertainty, you don't have that
village. There are supports out therefor that. So that's beautiful. So
(19:53):
how do you gather these friends?How do you find all these beautiful talented
friends, These beautiful talented women whoare musicians and are willing to find time
to practice and all of that estherat school parking lot as we're picking up
our kids and at church, atcoffee shops, as we just you know,
start connecting to moms, and it'sreally through our network of friends,
(20:15):
right, So, and I justhad no idea that there are so many
amazing moms in this community. Sothere are several members of Fox Family Symphony,
and we have a couple of uhcomposers. We have the stay at
home moms who who teach, teachon the side, things like that.
(20:37):
So we just we're a collection ofthis kind of everything moms do who everything.
Yeah, women are incredible, Yes, So it doesn't surprise me one
bit that all of these women you'vementioned have this is their side gig,
right, or or maybe something theydo in their spare time, which who
has spare time as a mom?Jenny, how did you hear about it?
Obviously Esther a friend and what madeyou want to participate in this kind
(21:00):
Well, Esther and I and oneother gal named Teresa, we actually all
came together to plan this and bringtogether these professional women musicians after Esther brought
forth this beautiful idea, and wereally wanted to make a fun and exciting
event for Mother's Day for other momsto be able to participate in too,
even if obviously they're not musicians,they could benefit from a fun night out.
(21:23):
We have free childcare at the event. You can tell moms are obviously
the ones planning the event. Wethink of all the logistics of you know,
the moms who are pulling up inthe morning on the school parking lot
with the whole van full of kidspopping out. How are they possibly going
to get away for a fun,you know, something to pamper themselves on
Mother's Day. Well, our hopeis that they can come and enjoy some
(21:45):
music and uninterrupted, relaxing concert experience, and their kids will be enjoying some
fun behind the scenes too. Thanksto stant Ignacious Catholic School, who is
sponsoring the child care for this event, and teachers and other individuals from there.
Before and aftercare program can keep thekids busy with some fun musical events
(22:07):
of their own. Two. Oh, that's perfect, It's just perfect.
I understand that the musical selections weavein faith and some familiar favorites, and
it's all an original composition by TeresaMartin. Is that, Zach, correct,
your friend Teresa, as you mentioned, Yeah, So we will have
a pretty wide variety of music onthe program. Some will be faith based.
(22:30):
The concert is taking place at HolyCross Catholic Church, so there's faith
based components, but there's also,you know, familiar tunes that I'm sure
everyone has heard, kind of froma pop angle. There's a really cute
little Christina Perry piece about motherhood thatis going to be performed by a vocalist
and a pianist. And then weare lucky enough to have among one of
(22:52):
our motherhood group here of musicians,a professional composer named Teresa Martin, a
local composer here who as works performedand commissioned all across the world. It's
incredible. She's written a number ofpieces that will also be performed on this
concert. So quite a variety ofpop tunes, faith based tunes, and
(23:12):
original classical pieces. That are completelynew. That's so fun. How have
rehearsals been going, How have thetime spent together? I'm imagining that can
almost be therapeutic. A bunch ofmoms getting together and doing what you love
and it's not what you'd expect,No, it's not, and it's also
exactly what you expect. Esther andI can just have a little side glance
(23:33):
and lay up here because in order, for for example, one piece that
Teresa, myself and Esther are performingtogether, it's going to be a beautiful
piece about you know, we talka lot about the celebration of motherhood,
but we also think about the sorrowsof motherhood. There's realities of you know,
the heartbreak of some of that too, right of struggling with infertility or
(23:56):
the loss of a mother, orthe money lays of what motherhood might mean
happy and sad. Well, there'sa piece that we're performing that kind of
embraces that idea. And we've gottentogether at my house twice to rehearse this.
Both of our youngest mine and Ustheris one and a half and two
years old, are literally holding onto the bottom of our legs or our
(24:18):
instruments or whatever while we're performing.So it's just it's so fun to have
this be such a fun event forthe moms, but also our core focus
and our loves of our lives.Our children are such a part of this
through and through, so we're excitedto share that with other moms and other
members of the community who can hopefullyjoin us at this event. Perfect We're
(24:40):
going to take a little break,but when we come back, details on
the tickets. Also, if youwant to register your child for that childcare
that's offered, we'll get you thosedetails too, and more on this beautiful
upcoming Mother's Day concert celebration on Fridaynight at holy Cross Catholic Church. We'll
get you further details and ticket informationright after and we're back with more of
(25:19):
a focused box valley on whby weare talking all about a beautiful concert this
Friday night, hosted at Holy CrossCatholic Church, and it's welcome to all
anyone who wants to hear some beautifulmusic that happens to be performed by some
pretty, pretty incredible women in ourcommunity. They all happen to be mothers
as well, and here to tellus more about it again, our esther
(25:42):
Zabrowski who is singing in the concert, and we also have my friend Jenny
Vandon Huvel who is playing clarinet inthis performance as well. So a wide
variety of music, some familiar songs, some that are faith based, some
original compositions, beautiful blend and whatelse do people need to know about this
(26:03):
concert? What's on your heart aboutit? What is maybe? What are
you looking forward to Jenny about thisthis Friday night and being in music together.
I'm just hoping to share it witha variety of people. I think
motherhood can mean a lot of differentthings, whether you're thinking of your mom,
or whether you are a new momor a mother to be or aspiring
to be a mother, or you'rea grandma who wants to share something with
(26:26):
you know the other, your grandchildrenor your children, whether you're a father
who wants to spoil your wife veryeasily hint, hint, with free childcare
in a night out. There's justso many layers, whether it's men or
women or whatever generation you are.We're really trying to cater to a large,
wide audience because it's something that obviouslymeans so much to so many different
(26:49):
people. So I'm really hoping thatyou know, there's just a variety of
people who will connect to this eventin a meaningful way and really enjoy them
music that we've thoughtfully put together forso many different layers of what motherhood means
to all of us. Yeah,is there anything to add to that from
your perspective? Let's see, canI drop some titles? Yeah? Between
(27:12):
the place we're people in. Sosome of the pieces that we have are
you mean the whole wide world tome? That was a Christina Perry piece
that you mentioned you Raise Me Up. We have a Bach double violin concerto
and as you mentioned, original compositionsby the Toursa Martin and also Nancy Catham.
(27:33):
And we also have a audience participationpiece. But there's also a very
sweet little surprise at the end,but you have to be there to find
out what it is. Okay,please comp it out. Oh, Josh
Grobin could just sing me to sleepevery night? Be fine with it.
I have memories of my mom justloving listening to him. Actually, that's
that's funny. Yeah, so that'spretty cool. That's wonderful. It just
(27:57):
sounds like a beautiful evening. Andyou mentioned that childcare aspect of it.
Again, free on site childcare isprovided. How does that work for folks?
Yeah, so thank you again toStaint Ignacious Catholic School. We're very
very thankful for one of the teachersthere, in addition to other members of
the staff and the before and aftercarechildcare team there. They have graciously agreed
(28:22):
to sponsor childcare for this event.So we have trusted individuals on behalf of
the school who are going to bekeeping the kids busy behind the scenes with
all kinds of fun so that momagain can be listening to this uninterrupted,
relaxing concert experience with whoever she's therewith. So we're very grateful for them.
(28:42):
Free childcare the event is fifteen dollarsto get in or a donation item
to bring for Vita, the beneficiaryof the event, but the childcare is
free. We just asked that youdo register by Wednesday, this Wednesday,
because of course, we need togive some heads up to our folks at
(29:03):
Saint Ignatio so that they are appropriatelystaffing this event to make sure that all
of the kids are safe and supervised. So again that deadline to register is
Wednesday for the childcare event. Okay, this Wednesday, That would be the
eighth of May, Yes, Wednesday, May eighth. Anybody can come to
the concert, whether you register inadvance or not, but for that childcare
(29:26):
component we do require advanced registration.I was just taking a peek at Vita's
list of most needed donation items.No surprise on this list things like diapers,
pull ups, wipes, those typesof things, but also lamps are
on this list. Actually more diapers, more diapers of course, of course
(29:47):
baby wash, and just a coupleof clothing items and things. And you
can find that on the Facebook pageevent that you've created. That's a great
place. That's where I fond allthe details of the event idled appropriately a
Mother's Day Concert celebration, So we'lllink that over at our website whby dot
com. My goodness, anything elseyou can think to add esther and Jenny
(30:11):
as I would just say, wehave this event on Facebook, a Mother's
Day Concert Celebration. We also havea website. We're starting up a nonprofit
here that will This is brand newand it's still in progress, but it's
called the Vessel Project. So ifyou go to we are vessels dot org.
We are vessels dot org, you'llalso be able to easily get access
(30:36):
to information about the concerts and theregistration. All of that is there in
addition to the most needed items forVITA. So we are vessels dot org
or that Facebook page excuse me,a Mother's Day concert celebration are both different
ways that you can get to informationabout this event. Well, you have
me intrigued to learn more about thisnonprofit. More to come. I just
(31:02):
want to quick mention you could bringa donation item, or you can pay
at the door for fifteen dollars cash, or you could send the item donation
items straight to VITA and just showus the receipt so you don't have to
bring bulky like diapers or strollers thingslike that. So that's another idea to
keep in mind. Lots of waysto support. So this Friday, Friday
(31:23):
May tenth, at six pm atHoly Cross Catholic Church, we really hope
to see everyone there. See youthere, well, I hope it's a
beautiful evening for you as moms,but as performers, a moment to shine
and share your talents with the communityas well. I'm so just impressed with
the women that you've collected to perform, that have taken the time to practice
(31:45):
and spend that night together as well. So break a leg everyone. I
hope it goes so well. Thankyou, thank you. All right,
we'll take a break here, andyour CBS in your local news updates.

in our second hour of Focus FoxValley, your CBS, your local news
updates, those are coming up next. And the sunlight hurts my eyes and
something without ball be heavy man andthe world all right, Well, they
(32:45):
just want to look at you,and I know what's going to be.
I love hello everyone, once again, welcome back to Focus Fox Valley.
(33:37):
Haley ten Pass joining you from theMyron Construction Studios of w hbuy a beautiful
Monday. I think it makes startingthe week a little easier when you know
that sunshine is coming your way.And hey, the sunshine will be actually
shining through our breakroom this week.I see the team over there out there
putting in that new window after ourTurkey friend broke our window about a week
(34:00):
and a half ago, so shoutout to the team putting that window in
there. Today, it's big,big, exciting things happening here at would
Word, that's for sure. Allright, We've got a great hour of
show planned on this on this Monday. I'm excited to learn more about the
Automo Giallery Automobile Gallery with our listenershere today. Also on the way,
(34:22):
Life Tools Tutoring will join us inour second half of the show along with
a first Alert forecast check in.We'll we have more beautiful days like today.
We'll hear more from Bofogel coming uparound twelve thirty five. But right
now, like I mentioned, thisis the first time that the Automobile Gallery
out of Green Bay is joining ushere in studio. We have Nicole Garcia
(34:44):
with us, who is the directorof Marketing and community Relations with the Automobile
Gallery. Nicole, thank you somuch for being with us and I can't
wait to learn more today. Goodafternoon, Yes, good afternoon, Thank
you so much for having me.Yes, Well, let's just kind of
start by I understanding the all thebasic details of the Automobile Gallery, the
(35:06):
space it is and kind of howit came to be in Green Bay.
Yes, absolutely, and I definitelyappreciate this opportunity to talk about the Automobile
Gallery to your fans and listeners forsure here in the Box Valley. But
the Automobile Gallery originated out of anidea where these gentlemen, specifically Read Lewis,
the owner of PDQ car Wash,they all had a love for the
(35:29):
automobile and they were like, youknow, this collection or our collections are
so beautiful and it really just feelslike we're just sharing them with each other.
But Read Lewis's tagline was the automobileis Art. So he kind of
wanted to take that tagline and makeit a reality. So we opened our
(35:49):
doors in twenty sixteen, and sincethen we have you know, poured into
the gallery itself, poured into growingour collection, into growing the curation of
the vehicles with our executive director andeverything. But the foundation of the gallery
itself is that we are a nonprofitorganization. So the gallery and people coming
(36:12):
into the doors, just admissions everyday. Admissions kind of helps us to you
know, keep that longevity of thegallery. And then we also have event
space as well. Which we rentout to companies and private party parties and
things like that. So we're reallyjust trying to kind of lay that blueprint
down and foundation for everybody to understandwhy we would love to host your event
(36:37):
at our space. Why we wantyou to come and visit us. It's
not just to see the gallery itself, but to know how we are pouring
into our community in the heart ofdowntown Green Bay excellent. So a few
different ways I guess to connect tothe Automobile Gallery, but I first have
to ask about kind of the museumside of things and the cool cars that
are that are you know, housedinside. Can you give us us an
(36:59):
opis of what vehicles live at theAutomobile Gallery. Yeah, honestly, we
have something for everybody, and youdon't really have to be like a fan
of the of the car. Youdon't have to know you know, what
ranch will take out this motor orhow many tons of VA power, et
cetera. Like, you don't needto know all that to appreciate the vehicles
(37:21):
that are in the gallery. Wehave the first electric car, which everybody
thinks that it was Tesla who didit, but it really wasn't. We
have one of those on feature inthe gallery right now. We have a
nineteen eighteen vehicle all the way upto a twenty twenty vehicle, and we
have sports cars, we have trucks. We have you know, just a
(37:43):
large, a plethora, if youwill, of automobiles, and they are
just all visually stunning, and Ithink everybody can appreciate the emotive response that
a vehicle has to the human elements. So you know, regardless of how
young or old you are, youcan really relate to what we have therein
I think so too. In fact, we've done segments on this program before
(38:05):
where listeners have shared their first carmaybe or their dream car, and we
get a pretty wonderful response. Peoplehave connections to vehicles. How do you
rotate cars in the gallery? Doyou have a kind of an ever changing
lineup? How does that work?Yeah, so we do rotate cars quite
regularly, but more so in thesummertime or when the weather is nice out,
(38:30):
I should say, because we can'ttake the vehicles on the road just
for restoration and preservation purposes during thewinter. So we have completely switched out
our front showroom area from what itwas over the winter. We are also
preparing for our event next Saturday,so we're getting a lot of cars in
and out and moving a lot ofthings right now, so it is always
(38:52):
ever changing. We have a kindof a regular rotation, but then we
also have like guess, vehicles thatcome to us from people who you know,
want to also put their car ondisplay for people to enjoy as well.
I think it's so neat that wehave this indoor museum that's year round
accessible the weather factor as you mentioned, but I can't help but think of
(39:15):
the massive crowd getters that we getwith the Iola Car Show for example,
or you see a car show onthe weekends, they're packed, right there's
a huge interest in this area andyou've got a twenty four you know,
three hundred and sixty five day ayear space available. Yes, absolutely,
it is. It is like havinga car show every day of the year
(39:36):
for sure. And we are open, you know, Sunday through Saturday from
nine to three pm, so youknow, we always have our doors open
and welcome people to come in firsttime visitors or repeat visitors. Even you
can become a member if you enjoythe facility as well, and that comes
with benefits too. Perfect do youhave a favorite car in the gallery,
Nicole, I have to ask,Oh, yes, I do. It's
(39:59):
actually an International Harvester Scout that hasbeen my dream car since I can remember.
And it's kind of an interesting one. But I am originally from Texas,
so just that truck aspect and elementand like the purity of it versus
you know, getting something for sportor you know, speed or performance.
(40:20):
It's a different kind of performance.You know, people use them an everyday
life on the farm. Interesting.I was gonna say, I think I
h read so I'm thinking, okay, ih has look up do Yeah,
I'll send you some pictures. Excellent. I got to take a drive in
it the other day. So ourvolunteers help obviously with the preservation of the
(40:42):
vehicles, but they the fun partof their job quote unquote job is that
they get to take them out forrides and drives and when we're moving them
all around. So I got toride in it the other day and it
was amazing. That sounds so fun. What a perk? A perk,
It's a word perk for sure.All Right, we're gonna you break,
but when we come back. Nicolementioned an upcoming event. Yes, May
(41:04):
eighteenth, it's Festa Italiana. Willtalk about this boutique car show to come
also June fifteenth, another community carshow event to tell you more about,
So do not go away. Nicoleis here with the Automobile Gallery and we'll
return with more right here on twelvetwenty three on whby Yes, as you
(41:31):
just heard. On Friday, we'regoing on the road our first I guess
Warm Weather broadcast of the year backat Krueger True Value in Nina this Friday
from eleven to one. The greenhousewill be open. You can shop for
mom, and we hope you comehungry because the chef's gone. Grillin will
(41:51):
be there, so lunch is onus. Come on out, say hello,
do some shopping, and celebrate springwith our friends over at Krueger True
Value in Nina. Right now,the Automobile Gallery is here. Nicole Garcia
is their director of Marketing and CommunityRelations and lots of cool things inside the
Automobile Gallery. They hope you mightconsider though coming out to an event.
(42:13):
On May eighteenth, It's Festa Italianaand I have a feeling a lot of
the vehicles Nicole will reflect that theme. What do you got for us?
Yes? I definitely think that weare going to bring the feel and look
of Italy to Green Bay, SoI'm excited about that. We have about
one hundred especially curated vehicles by ourexecutive director that will be there, and
(42:37):
they are all of Italian nature.But you know, like we were mentioning
earlier, it's not really about thecars, so everybody can come and enjoy.
Also, we have food, wehave gelato, we have Italian wine.
Bellagioso is going to be there withsome cheese samples, So it truly
(42:57):
is like a family event. Ofthe cars are the foundation of it,
but there's so much more for youto do and to see you while you're
there. Wow. I'm still,though, really impressed by the curation of
more than one hundred Italian, Italianmade vehicles, Italian main vehicles, and
we're talking like ultra rare visually stunning, you know, like something that,
(43:22):
yes, the person who understands whatit means to have a one of one
or one of twenty four vehicle,but just again just visually beautiful. Coming
back to that, the automobile isthe art who is That's the tagline that
Red Lewis, our founder, had, so you know, you can appreciate
(43:43):
the visual beauty and of these rarevehicles and enjoy it with your family and
possibly learn something about a car.Most definitely. You also have an event
coming up June fifteenth, Red LewisCars and Guitars Community Car Show. Tell
us about this one. Yes,so this one is very special because it's
a community car show. So basicallywe are welcoming anybody who wants to enter
(44:07):
their vehicle into the car show togo ahead and do that. But then
also it is a free to attendfor the public event, so you can
come. Again, we have thefood element, obviously you can have a
car show without some brats and hotdogs, you know, an outdoor space.
We have grass and we'll have sometables set up so we'll have live
(44:30):
music, which is that guitars elementas well. We have a band that
will be performing on stage. Soit is kind of again true to the
roots of the gallery, pouring intoour community, inviting everybody to come out
and extend Red Lewis's legacy. Actually, you know, he passed away three
years ago, so we want tojust keep his his memory alive through this
(44:54):
event. Perfect well, they bothevents sound really special and you know,
I'm thinking of parents out there withkids who are maybe obsessed with the movie
Cars, yes, or just enjoyvehicles, anything on four wheels. I've
got a little boy and anything onfour wheels. What a cool space to
explore and find more about. Iwould imagine you can just attend these events.
(45:17):
No registration is needed. Yeah,pre registration is or pre purchasing tickets
is definitely not needed. However itwill make things go smoother with regard to
Esta Italiana. Those tickets are availableonline through a website or a Facebook event
page. You can find the linkto get there. But like I said,
the Cars and Guitars event is theSaturday of Father's Day weekend. Is
(45:40):
free to the public. But ifyou have a vehicle that you would love
to enter in the car show,that link is also available online as well.
So much fun, a lot goingon at the Automobile Gallery. And
in the midst of organizing these eventsand helping things run smoothly, Nicole,
we have to talk about the factthat you are participating in a really unique
(46:00):
event in the Greater Green Bay area, and that is the new Dancing with
Our Stars event, and you wereone of the Dancing stars yeah, stars,
I would use in quotation marks orloosely, but yeah, I'm excited
to participate in this event. Isdefinitely a unique platform for fundraising opportunities for
(46:23):
nonprofit organizations, and I'm excited tokind of lift up and spotlight Costa Album
Melanie. Who is the one thatI have chosen so that we can,
you know, hopefully pour money intothem so that they can increase program availability
and keep their doors open. Also, And what type of work is Costa
(46:45):
Album Melanie? So Casta Album Melanieis a Hispanic resource center. Basically,
they just connect families to needs.And it could be an immediate need like
clothes or shoes or things like that, but it can also be something like
linking them to a doctor who canyou help them with what ailment they have
(47:06):
or their child has. But reallythey're about giving this information and having the
families understand it so that they canmake the best and right choice for their
family in need. And it isa Hispanic resource center, but we don't
turn anybody away, So any familywho is in need for anything that we
provide, we are always open tothat for sure. Wow, Well,
(47:29):
I love that You've chosen them,and I'm glad to mention them here today
as you participate in the Dancing withour Stars event. When is that coming
out? So that we are fundraisingfrom now until the actual event, so
you can definitely find that information onFacebook or online. But the event where
each of the eight participants gets toperform their dance is a Saturday, October
(47:54):
fifth at the Epic in Green Bay. Perfect, so plenty of time to
continue fund and to work on theroutine and all of that. Yes,
most importantly work on the routine.You will shine, Nicole. I'm thrilled
for you and just glad to meetyou today. Yes, absolutely, thank
you, Thank you so much forhaving me. I appreciate it absolutely.

the Dancing with Our Stars event aswell. Yes, thanks for being here,
Nicole. Thank you. All right, we'll take a short break and
your first alert forecast is coming upnext win You're down, androble and you
(48:52):
need to helping and welcome back toFocus Fox Valley on w HB Y as
James Taylor saying you've got a friend, and when your parent, I'm sure
there can be sometimes a fine lineto follow and being a parent and being
(49:14):
a friend, it can be verytricky and how do you find that delicate
balance as well? We turn toour friends over at Life Tools Tutoring and
Coaching when we have these trickier parentingtopics come up. And I'm always grateful
to have Mike and Beth Boett withLife Tools Tutoring and Coaching in studio to
talk through some of these parenting topics. Mike and Beth, good morning,
(49:36):
good afternoon to you. Good tosee you, Good to see you.
I'm wonderful, wonderful to have youhere, and this topic again what I'm
eager to chat with you about.And you know, no judgment either,
because I get it. I'm nervousabout this stage of parenting for myself.
You know, my kids are sortof in the season of still liking me
(49:58):
for the most part. They're youngenough to still kind of think I'm cool
in a sense. And I willsay I am nervous for when my cool
points are drained and my children wantnothing to do with me, And I
can imagine how tempting it would beyou know, to kind of lean into
trying to befriend your kids and inorder to maybe return to that magical season
(50:20):
like I'm in right now where yourkids do really like you. So we're
going to talk about that here today. How do you approach it? Mike
and Bethel? Bethe'll turn to youfirst. How do you kind of approach
this being a friend versus being aparent? Or where do you see it
most often? I guess when Mikeand I talked about it, we talked
about sort of the switch. Rightwhen they're little, it's they have shorter
(50:42):
memories, which is just fantastic.So there's you know, they make a
mistake, there's the consequence, andthen comes the fun part. Right,
you get to love them up andyou get to play, and they again
think you're cool, right all ofthat and want to hang out with you.
But as they get older, that'swhere it gets a little bit trickier,
right where you need to set upthat structure and you need to have
(51:06):
boundaries and all the same while makingthem feel safe and secure and yet letting
them know that their actions have consequences, and sometimes that stings a little bit,
right that it's not all fabulous allthe time. What do you think,
Mike? Yeah, I agree.Frankly, I think you know,
we want to be friends with ourwith our kids, and friendships obviously are
(51:29):
easier than being a parent. Parentingis hard. Disciplining our kids is hard.
It's it can be lonely on occasion, right because you know, you're
that that person that needs to setup the boundaries and then when you know
kids are going to make mistakes andwhen they do, you have to be
you know, the enforcer, andthat can be very difficult. So I
(51:51):
think you do have to walk thatfine line. But Frankly, you know,
we've had enough experience that we knowyou have to default to the parenting
role first because if you develop thatsense of structure and that trust from your
kids, by developing that those boundaries, that friendship or that relationship will grow
and develop by default. So isthere risk in taking the friendship approach in
(52:16):
parenting? What's your thought on that? There's there's there's a lot of risk
with that, And Frankly, Idon't know that I would we would,
even when we talked about it,would even think about developing a friendship with
ours with our kids. We wantto create a relationship certainly with our kids.
But friendships are different when you thinkabout as adults, your adult friendships.
(52:38):
If one of your friends came upto you and demanded that you,
you know, be home by midnightevery night, you know that that just
wouldn't work right there, There's there'sa conflict in between parenting and friendships.
So I don't know that I wouldcall our relationship with our younger kids friendships.
It's a parent child relationship and it'sa great relationship. Now that our
(52:59):
kids are old, we do havefriendships with our twenty year old kids,
but that's a different phase of life, certainly different phase of phase of life.
Yes, I'm thinking though of thoseparents who are in that tween,
that tween stage. Oh my heartaches for those parents in that tween stage,
because it is difficult when children arepushing those boundaries, you know,
(53:22):
to as far as they absolutely can. What's your advice to that tween age.
I'm thinking like ten eleven, twelveup to you know, fifteen,
sixteen, seventeen, Beth, whatdo you see there? It is hard.
It's tough, right because you're theirbiggest fan, you love them more
than anybody in the whole world.So I think when they push the envelope
(53:43):
and they make mistakes and they choosenot to follow the rules, right,
I think we still need to haveclear consequences for that. The part that
Mike and I talk about that's theongoing struggle is through all of that,
letting them know we're your biggest welove you more than anything in the world,
and we're doing this because we loveyou. And you know if at
(54:06):
some point, you know, it'sa couple of days that they're home or
they're grounded to maybe be available,and sometimes you're just going to maybe get
a couple of doors shut in yourface, or they're going to roll their
eyes at you, or they're goingto do it silent treatment. Yeah,
exactly. And they may not talkto you, but they know you're there,
and they know that you're always thereand that you're going to love them
(54:27):
even though they're going to make mistakenumber four hundred and fifty, just like
we did. Yeah. And Ithink too, as Beth had mentioned,
especially if our teenage kids or ourmiddle school kids are struggling socially, I
think it is important that you're justin the house. Sometimes you don't necessarily
need to be on their back aboutyou know, let's play cards together or
let's hang out. But I thinkjust just being there for them and let
(54:49):
them let them know that, youknow, maybe if the friend didn't want
to get together tonight, that you'restill able to be there for them.
So and the kids will, youknow, they'll reattach from time to time
just hanging around watching television, ormaybe they will play cards with you,
or you know, go for awalk in the woods or something. So
I think there's a lot to besaid for just being there even when you're
(55:10):
busy and you've got other things probablythat you could be doing. I think
that's a great point. You know, you're not completely keeping yourself out of
a friendliness with your children. You'renot, you know, eliminating yourself from
having you know, hobbies together oractivity together. But you mentioned structure,
and I want to ask about thatspecific topic when it comes to kids.
(55:32):
In a lot of senses, Iwould imagine kids maybe need that structure,
and so the data is there torepresent that they need that structure, but
they probably in a sense might likeit a little bit. I don't know
what are your thoughts on structure withthese kids? Yeah, they sure certainly
won't tell you that they like it. I can guarantee you that at least
not until they're you know, twentytwo or beyond. But that structure,
(55:54):
and I think psychologically it makes sense. You know, even from a dull
perspective, kids need to know thatthere's consistency, that there's structure, that
there's rules, that you know,this house is a safe place for me
because you know, let's be honest, they're getting chaos from the rest of
the world, right there are norules, there's you know, no sense
of foundation, there's no sense ofsecurity. Things are here one day and
(56:16):
gone the next. And to havethat sense of structure and boundaries and rules
and structure at home, I thinkis what, you know, even from
a mental health perspective, is abig deal for kids. That's anything to
add to that absolutely, And thenow we do have adult children, and
so every once in a while they'llstart, you know, kind of ganging
(56:36):
up on mom and dad as faras how their upbringing was just so you
know, dramatic and all these differentthings, and they would come home and
of course you're going to get thissaying that I'm the only one that can't
do that or I'm the only onethat doesn't have this or whatever, and
we would joke sometimes in the rightif it was the right moment, and
say you're welcome, which they neverappreciated until now that I was like,
(56:58):
we were the only one, rightbut it and where I was like,
yeah, and we did that outof love. And I think now they
can look and they giggle and sayyeah, yeah, yeah, right,
and they know that that's why wedid it. They have friends that lived
in houses that didn't have that,and now their adult friends are struggling for
a lot of different reasons. Mydad always said, well, now you
have a story to tell your friendsand talk how horrible one another story,
(57:22):
another story. You're welcome, Yeah, hindsight right, all right, we'll
take a short break, but whenwe come back more on this topic and
listeners, if you've lived or walkedthis balance or have seen success in your
family, you're welcome to caller textin here today. Nine two zero,
two, eight, one eleven fiftyis that number. Being a friend and
(57:42):
being a parent a tricky balance tofind. And we'll talk further with life
tools in just a bit on HbyWelcome back to Focus Fox Valley on w
HB. Why talking through so thosetougher parenting topics with our friends with Life
Tools twitoring and coaching. Mike andBeth are here with us, and I
(58:08):
think, you know, parents getscared of that relationship, but they've built
with their kids, losing that relationshipas they grow older being the bad guy.
They're afraid to have a child whodoesn't want to be with them as
much. That stings. That's hard. Like I said, I'm nervous for
(58:29):
that season of life whenever it arrives. Maybe what can you maybe share with
our listeners, Mike and Beth thatmight reassure them that it's okay to go
through that stage with your kids,because everyone I think kind of goes through
that stage with their kids. Andif you haven't, what's your secret?
Please call on us today, Beth. I'll turn to you first on that.
(58:52):
I think it is scary. Ithink you give that consequence and they
go in their room and you don'tsee them for that whole day, right,
and you're just way and you think, you know, you second guess
yourself forty times, right, likewas I too harsh? Was did I
say the right thing? And youknow, was it too much. And
meanwhile they're friends right on the phoneif they're pulled out the phone, and
you know, your parents are theworst people ever of all time, right,
(59:15):
everybody, So it is hard.The great part is at the end
when you can come back together andyou get a hug or they right,
and you just say like, it'sgoing to be okay. Whatever it is,
it's going to be okay, andwe're going to figure this out.
And everybody makes mistakes. I think, just reiterating we did, we had
mistakes too. You just don't knowthat because you know us as old people,
(59:37):
right, and I think too,you know again it to say it
again, parenting is hard. Soif you're coming into this and you're struggling,
you're doing it right, right.It's it's not just a bowl of
cherries by a long shot. SoI think you do need to be okay
with that. And relationships change.So what you have with your with your
younger children is going to be differentrelationship than you have with your middle school
(59:58):
students, with your high schoo thosestudents, and then you know different again
when they're adult children, so areadults, I guess, and but still
your children. So I think it'sthe bottom line is it's not about me
as parent, it's about them aschild. So you need to do what's
best for them and develop those relationships, but then then evolve as those relationships
(01:00:19):
change and be okay with that.And it's not easy. It's not easy.
But again, we have adult childrenand we have fantastic I would say
friendships with our adult children, andyou know that's the current phase we're in,
and it's it's fantastic, We'll getthere. That's some good advice for
us younger parents and the think thickof it. I will say, though
too. In many cases, notall cases, but in a lot of
cases, parents are parenting together,right. It's it's it's it's there's two
(01:00:44):
people in that home who are helpingguide those kids. Any advice for parents
together as partners in this and howmaybe they can approach that that fine line
when it comes to friendships with kidskids. I think it's a gift to
have that second parent, right becauseit's that moment where he gets you home
from work or I come home andI'm like, I can't do it.
(01:01:06):
We got to get this grounding wasfar too long, This was way too
harsh, and Okay, what changedand then you talk it through and you're
like, you're right, you know, this is the right thing to do
because we're doing it because we wantour children to be great adults. We
want them to be great people,great friends, right, those people that
are just good people. So it'sit to have that sounding board when you're
(01:01:29):
ready to give up, which isprobably eighty times during that amount of time
that they're that they're in, youknow, having that concept and a shout
out to single parents out there.We've with our work at Life Tools,
we've had the blessing of working withlots of single parents and they're just warriors,
right, because that can be avery lonely, you know, stretch
of time getting from a young childto adulthood and then having that adult friendship.
(01:01:52):
But it's lonely and you don't havethat sounding board and you have to
be the bad guy all the time, and that the temptation to be friend
first is certainly there because I'm lonelyand i just want someone to talk to.
But we've had some warrior single parentswho you know, just do it
and do it and do it andtheir kids have turned out fantastically and now
(01:02:13):
again they have this adult relationship,which is fantastic and they're both thriving,
but you know, it was eighteenyears of real difficult sort of trotting along
all sad. Well, I thinkif there's anything we all can take away
is that we're all going to gethere at some point and we can all
kind of be in the weeds togetherand hopefully come out the other end with
children who realize the tactics utilize werefor their benefit. Right, absolutely present
(01:02:38):
company included here. The tactics utilizewere for my benefit. Yes, I
understand mom and dad. Yes,for parents out there maybe needing a little
bit of extra support, though Iknow Life Tools can provide that in a
variety of ways. Fill us inon how we can get in touch with
you, folks if we're looking fortutoring or coaching in life. Yeah.
(01:02:58):
Absolutely. You can reach us outon our website at www dot Life Tools
TC dot com, or you cancall us at nine two zero two eight

All right, a busy show.Like I said, let's turn our focus
to Mental Health Awareness Month in themonth of May. Hopefully this is not
the first time you've heard about thefocus of mental health in the month of
May, and Katelpa Health one ofour organizations in the community that does so
(03:38):
much, especially for our youngest kiddosout there to help them navigate those challenges.
We have some voices joining us instudio with details on their upcoming Awareness
Month theme, where to start mentalhealth in a changing world, and the
fundraising goals that they have as wellto keep and continue supporting our kids.
(04:00):
Cindy Summer is with us in studio, director of Development and Marketing with Katlpa
Hi Cindy, Welcome back to theshow. Hi, great to be here,
Thanks for having us. Good tosee you, and also the president
and CEO of Katelpa, doctor TracyGuy, you joining us here as well.
Good morning to you, Tracy,Thank you so much. Good morning,
it's so great to be here.Well, Tracy, I will start
(04:20):
with you because we have not hadthe opportunity to connect yet on the air.
I'm so honored to have you instudio with us, and I'm hoping
you might be able to fill usin and remind our listeners a bit about
the work of KATALPA and your journeywith the organization as well. Oh,
thank you so much. Yes,I've been with Katalpa about two and a
half years now, trying to fillsome very large shoes of their departing CEO,
(04:44):
and it's been a wonderful journey thusfar. We have worked really hard
to provide the highest level of servicesavailable to the children in our community,
and I think we do a reallygood job of that. It's a very
unique organization supported by three competing healthcaresystems, which says something about their commitment
(05:06):
to our community, and we providevery comprehensive care. So whether you are
a child who needs an evaluation oran assessment done, whether you need traditional
therapy either individual group in our officesat your school, or whether you need
medication management from one of our psychiatristsor one of our apmps. We've got
(05:29):
everything covered there. It's a onestop shop for caring for our children.
Yeah, Sindy, anything to addto that, No, I think Tracy
did a good job. I mean, we see just over eight thousand kids
a year. Last year we hadover sixty one thousand appointments I think,
and serve kids zero at eighteen yearsold. Cool. So that's kind of
what I wanted to ask to youknow. I know it's not a topic
(05:53):
that we have not addressed in regardsto the pandemic affecting mental health across the
board. Our kids especially impacted byby the challenges of that. So my
question is kind of where are weat in twenty twenty four, How are
the kids doing? What are youseeing? Well? Gosh, I hope
it's not a surprise to most thatour kids are still struggling post pandemic.
(06:15):
We do some outreach with daycare andpreschool providers, and we're understanding from them
that this is the worst year yetfor the kids who are entering preschool and
daycare, so they're struggling on anumber of levels. I think the world
has changed a lot from when Iwas young. I'm quite a bit older
(06:35):
than most of your young parents.But kids are worried about many more things,
both locally and globally, and theydon't get a break when they get
home and just have family time anymore. So they are in contact with pressures
of life almost constantly. And soI do think we need to do more
(06:59):
to support and Katalpa is continuing tobuild providers. We've just added a new
postdoctoral fellowship program for psychologists and thatI think will help us continue to meet
the needs of this community which aregrowing. Yeah, and I mean,
if there's one thing that we know, we know that the treatment works.
So having an organization like Katalpa Healthright in our community right here is just
(07:23):
a huge benefit to all of ourkids in the Fox Valley. Excellent.
You're located the opposite side of CollegeAvenue from us, the west side of
College Avenue. That space I'm surefill to the brim with kids and with
those providers as well. Yep,we have that location in Ampleton, but
then we also have a smaller locationin ash Gosh. We do a lot
of telehealth appointments too, and thenwe're in over thirty schools in the Fox
(07:46):
Valley too. Excellent. Well,hopefully our listeners getting a nice refresher on
Katalpa Health. And that's when we'regonna now switch into May and what you're
working on in the month of May. So Cindy tell us a little bit
about this on this theme where tostart, which is a great place where
to start mental health in a changingworld. Yeah, So, like Tracy
(08:07):
touched on before, Katapa Health isa really unique organization supported by those three
healthcare systems, but then our fourthpartner is really the community members in the
Fox Valley area. We are anonprofit, so we're fully supported by people.
So we're running a campaign in Mayaround Mental Health Awareness Month. We
have a ten thousand dollars match fromCatherine and Jen Davis that we're looking for
(08:33):
to people to support us, andwe have a bunch of things going on.
We're doing a change drive with otherorganizations. We're also doing one at
Katapa Health. We have a lotof resources on our website so if people
want to go on there and lookfor a way they can bring some of
our communications to their companies. Theycan go right on there. We have
(08:54):
a partner toolkit on there with differentways that their companies can be involved with.
Okay, we're going to take apause when we come back digging a
bit deeper into the month's campaign,including a couple of key dates for the
community to participate in, and thenalso learning more about the celtelpl Cares Financial
Assistant Fund that helps make sure thatevery child has access to some great care.
(09:16):
So stick with us more with CATLPAHealth right here on Focus Fox Valley
Life, Life, Life, andwelcome back to Focus Fox Valley on w
(09:48):
HB Y eleven, twenty four isthe time on this Monday a focus on
mental health and Catelpa Health which doesso much to support kiddos out there in
need of some extra help and somehealth extra work. And we are learning
about their May mental Health Awareness campaign. Their theme is where to start mental
(10:09):
health in a changing World. Wehave joining us here today doctor Tracy Gayu,
the President and CEO of Katelpa.Also Cindy Summer is here director of
Development and Marketing. And I knowthat you're You're focused on three areas,
as you mentioned, Cindy, inthis campaign. I want to start with
Katelpa cares. Uh. This isa financial assistance program for for kids out
(10:31):
there. How does it work andhow do families take advantage of this?
What can you tell us? Sothis is a program that's totally funded by
community members and it's a program youcan apply online for it, but also
it's for underinsured or people that maybejust have high deductibles, So anybody can
(10:52):
apply at any time, and wejust want to make sure that everybody has
access, you know, that needsit, no matter a bit to pay
an ability to pay, that wecan support that. So at any time,
anybody can apply and we just makesure everyone can get in and get
the help they need when they needit. Yeah, this has been a
popular program though, correct, Tracy, it really has, and I think
(11:13):
over the last three years we've givenover one hundred and thirty thousand dollars away
for families that really, I mean, there's nothing worse than being a parent
and being worried about your child andto have that as a resource for the
families who approach us. About fiftypercent of our general population is on Medicaid,
(11:33):
so they tend to be more vulnerablefinancially, and about sixty percent of
our patient population in psychiatry is onMedicaid, so we really deal with some
vulnerable children and their families in thecommunity. So having this resource available for
them is a tremendous benefit and itreally speaks to how our community steps up
(11:56):
to support the most vulnerable. Imean, when the community leaders walked together
into the three healthcare systems and saidyou need to do better by our children.
We need to collectively do a betterjob. They did then and they
continue to do so today. Soit's really wonderful, excellent. So this
program cot helpal Cares kind of justfills in the gaps when it comes to
(12:18):
that coverage. I'm seeing a numberhere of about forty two unique clients in
twenty twenty three, and like yousaid, over one hundred and thirty thousand
dollars in the last three years,which is incredible community funds though, So
the community is who made this possible. Yep. Absolutely, I mean last
year we did over fifty thousand dollarsin support for tooplic Cares programs, so
(12:39):
we definitely need to keep raising thosefunds. That match from Catherine and John
Davis really is helpful this year,and we're hoping to use every cent of
that ten thousand dollars match me.Yeah, I want to ask about the
stigma when it comes to mental healthand we want our children to have the
best possible care. Do you seethat stigma when it comes to kids or
(13:01):
what would your message be to someonewho maybe hears about a friend or a
loved one or a neighbor whose childis receiving care like this. What's the
message there? You know? Ithink it's a more challenging discussion for people
in my generation. So if you'reolder, children these days seem to be
very comfortable discussing mental health in away that wasn't there when I was a
(13:24):
child, So I think there isa generational gap there. But every parent
everywhere who is ever worried about achild would like to know where to go
and receive help. So I thinkthe messaging when you're a parent is reach
out to other parents who have childrenwho may have gone through something similar.
(13:45):
We're not alone. The number ofkids out there who are worried and anxious
or depressed is large, so parentsare not alone either. I love that
message and if there's a parent outthere listening, who's in the weeds right
now? And I was thinking,oh wow, I feel over wholmed.
Reach out to Katalpa or hopefully youalreadier in that process or something similar,
(14:05):
because there is help out there ifyou need it. Really is well.
I want to ask about some keydates in all of this. I know
the fund is the drive right now, the chain Be the Change Drive happening
right now, kicked off today,So I'm glad you could be here today
to kind of kick this off.Yeah, so we have not only are
we trying to raise funds this month, but we're also wanting to spread awareness
(14:26):
about Katalpa Health and our resources.So we are doing the Be the Change
Drive the whole month of May here, but we're also asking for people to
help spread awareness for us by wearinggreen on May sixteenth. May sixteenth is
be Seen in Green Day for MentalHealth. So get your team members together,
your friends, take a picture andsome green and take us in it.
(14:50):
And then we're also doing an eventat the end of the month on
May twenty second called the Coffee atKatalpa, and that's where we're just inviting
community members to come in, havea couple with Tracy Scott, our chief
clinical officer, and just ask anyquestions you have. If there's any topics
around mental health that you want todiscuss with us. It's just kind of
(15:11):
an open house to come and havethose conversations. Perfect if you are curious
about what the facility looks like,if you've never been, this is kind
of your open house chance to doso. Yes, yep, excellent.
That's May twenty second, where you'regreen on May sixteenth, packer fans.
I know you've got plenty of greenout there, so no excuses. We
are in Wisconsin, by the way. And where can people go if they
(15:33):
want to donate to the Kotelpa Carescampaign as well? Yeah, so you
can go to our web our websitedolpahealth dot org. You can donate right
online there, or of course,you know, stop in our mail in
a checker cash anytime. Perfect.One final thing to wrap up our conversation,
looking ahead to an annual event thatgets quite quite the chatter around town.
(15:54):
That would be the pop event forKatalpa. What can you tell us
about it this year? Yeah,so, of course I'm super excited about
that and cannot tell you very manydetails because it's a secret. Our first
clue will be coming out at theend of the month as to what theme
we're doing and what location. Butmark your calendar now because I can tell
(16:15):
you it will be Saturday, Septemberfourteenth, which is a week later than
we usually do it. So putthat on your calendar now and expect the
unexpected. Okay, like they don'ttell you anything. I mean, we
don't know location, we don't knowtheme, nothing yet, but we do
have the date. So that's perfectSaturday September fourteenth for that pop event.
Tracy and Cindy, thank you forbeing here. Anything else you can think
(16:37):
to add before we part wasys today. No, just thank you to this
remarkable community that really comes together toensure children receive the very best behavioral health
care. It truly is an honorto work in this community. Wonderful.
Thank you both for being here today. We'll link up the Kutelpa theme this
month and the be the Change Drivedetails Elles on our website that's Whby dot
(17:02):
com. We'll take a short breakwhen we come back learning more about an
upcoming Mother's Day musical celebration. Aconcert. We'll tell you more about that
next and for the moment, let'stake a walk in the Midwest garden.
Here is Rob Zimmer and welcome backto Focus Fox Valley on Whby eleven thirty
(17:41):
eight. The time here and Mother'sDay approaches this weekend, in particular,
in case you've forgotten or have losttrack of time, Hey, we get
it. But if you're also scramblingand wondering what to do for the mom
in your life, the mother figurein your life, the person who has
acted as mom, whatever that momtitle means to you, there is a
(18:04):
beautiful and wonderful Mother's Day themed concertthat's coming up this Friday night, and
I can't wait to tell you moreabout it. I can't wait to learn
more about it with all of you. As my friend Jenny Vandanhuvel joins us
in studio here today. Hi Jenny, good to see you. Hello,
Thank you for having us, Thanksfor inviting Also Esther here with Esther Azabrowski,
(18:26):
who's singing in this concert. Hi, Esther, Hi, thank you
for having me too, Thank youfor coming here today. All right,
so we're going to share more onthis beautiful concert and all the details around
it the free childcare that's provided.My goodness, Jenny, you've thought of
everything. But I would love tohear the story behind it and where the
idea for this came from and thatwhat does that journey look like? So
(18:48):
p listen, Well, I mightpass that one over to Esther, because
this concert was actually Esther's idea.She came to us a number of us
who are moms and musicians and friends, and had a great idea, why
don't you tell a little Sure,absolutely, I would love to yes.
About a year ago, I realizedI just keep running into all these amazing
musicians who are all moms, andI was like, what if we just
(19:11):
bring all these moms together to doa concert to celebrate Mother's Day? And
while we're doing that and support awonderful non profit organization it's called Vita in
Appleton and which supports like free healthcarefor expecting moms and also new moms with
(19:33):
babies. So that's what we're doing. After one year of planning. Wow,
that is beautiful. The phrase ittakes a village kind of comes to
mind with all of that. Andif you find yourself made me in a
position of parenting that was unexpected oryou're just uncertainty, you don't have that
village. There are supports out therefor that. So that's beautiful. So
(19:53):
how do you gather these friends?How do you find all these beautiful talented
friends, These beautiful talented women whoare musicians and are willing to find time
to practice and all of that estherat school parking lot as we're picking up
our kids and at church, atcoffee shops, as we just you know,
start connecting to moms, and it'sreally through our network of friends,
(20:15):
right, So, and I justhad no idea that there are so many
amazing moms in this community. Sothere are several members of Fox Family Symphony,
and we have a couple of uhcomposers. We have the stay at
home moms who who teach, teachon the side, things like that.
(20:37):
So we just we're a collection ofthis kind of everything moms do who everything.
Yeah, women are incredible, Yes, So it doesn't surprise me one
bit that all of these women you'vementioned have this is their side gig,
right, or or maybe something theydo in their spare time, which who
has spare time as a mom?Jenny, how did you hear about it?
Obviously Esther a friend and what madeyou want to participate in this kind
(21:00):
Well, Esther and I and oneother gal named Teresa, we actually all
came together to plan this and bringtogether these professional women musicians after Esther brought
forth this beautiful idea, and wereally wanted to make a fun and exciting
event for Mother's Day for other momsto be able to participate in too,
even if obviously they're not musicians,they could benefit from a fun night out.
(21:23):
We have free childcare at the event. You can tell moms are obviously
the ones planning the event. Wethink of all the logistics of you know,
the moms who are pulling up inthe morning on the school parking lot
with the whole van full of kidspopping out. How are they possibly going
to get away for a fun,you know, something to pamper themselves on
Mother's Day. Well, our hopeis that they can come and enjoy some
(21:45):
music and uninterrupted, relaxing concert experience, and their kids will be enjoying some
fun behind the scenes too. Thanksto stant Ignacious Catholic School, who is
sponsoring the child care for this event, and teachers and other individuals from there.
Before and aftercare program can keep thekids busy with some fun musical events
(22:07):
of their own. Two. Oh, that's perfect, It's just perfect.
I understand that the musical selections weavein faith and some familiar favorites, and
it's all an original composition by TeresaMartin. Is that, Zach, correct,
your friend Teresa, as you mentioned, Yeah, So we will have
a pretty wide variety of music onthe program. Some will be faith based.
(22:30):
The concert is taking place at HolyCross Catholic Church, so there's faith
based components, but there's also,you know, familiar tunes that I'm sure
everyone has heard, kind of froma pop angle. There's a really cute
little Christina Perry piece about motherhood thatis going to be performed by a vocalist
and a pianist. And then weare lucky enough to have among one of
(22:52):
our motherhood group here of musicians,a professional composer named Teresa Martin, a
local composer here who as works performedand commissioned all across the world. It's
incredible. She's written a number ofpieces that will also be performed on this
concert. So quite a variety ofpop tunes, faith based tunes, and
(23:12):
original classical pieces. That are completelynew. That's so fun. How have
rehearsals been going, How have thetime spent together? I'm imagining that can
almost be therapeutic. A bunch ofmoms getting together and doing what you love
and it's not what you'd expect,No, it's not, and it's also
exactly what you expect. Esther andI can just have a little side glance
(23:33):
and lay up here because in order, for for example, one piece that
Teresa, myself and Esther are performingtogether, it's going to be a beautiful
piece about you know, we talka lot about the celebration of motherhood,
but we also think about the sorrowsof motherhood. There's realities of you know,
the heartbreak of some of that too, right of struggling with infertility or
(23:56):
the loss of a mother, orthe money lays of what motherhood might mean
happy and sad. Well, there'sa piece that we're performing that kind of
embraces that idea. And we've gottentogether at my house twice to rehearse this.
Both of our youngest mine and Ustheris one and a half and two
years old, are literally holding onto the bottom of our legs or our
(24:18):
instruments or whatever while we're performing.So it's just it's so fun to have
this be such a fun event forthe moms, but also our core focus
and our loves of our lives.Our children are such a part of this
through and through, so we're excitedto share that with other moms and other
members of the community who can hopefullyjoin us at this event. Perfect We're
(24:40):
going to take a little break,but when we come back, details on
the tickets. Also, if youwant to register your child for that childcare
that's offered, we'll get you thosedetails too, and more on this beautiful
upcoming Mother's Day concert celebration on Fridaynight at holy Cross Catholic Church. We'll
get you further details and ticket informationright after and we're back with more of
(25:19):
a focused box valley on whby weare talking all about a beautiful concert this
Friday night, hosted at Holy CrossCatholic Church, and it's welcome to all
anyone who wants to hear some beautifulmusic that happens to be performed by some
pretty, pretty incredible women in ourcommunity. They all happen to be mothers
as well, and here to tellus more about it again, our esther
(25:42):
Zabrowski who is singing in the concert, and we also have my friend Jenny
Vandon Huvel who is playing clarinet inthis performance as well. So a wide
variety of music, some familiar songs, some that are faith based, some
original compositions, beautiful blend and whatelse do people need to know about this
(26:03):
concert? What's on your heart aboutit? What is maybe? What are
you looking forward to Jenny about thisthis Friday night and being in music together.
I'm just hoping to share it witha variety of people. I think
motherhood can mean a lot of differentthings, whether you're thinking of your mom,
or whether you are a new momor a mother to be or aspiring
to be a mother, or you'rea grandma who wants to share something with
(26:26):
you know the other, your grandchildrenor your children, whether you're a father
who wants to spoil your wife veryeasily hint, hint, with free childcare
in a night out. There's justso many layers, whether it's men or
women or whatever generation you are.We're really trying to cater to a large,
wide audience because it's something that obviouslymeans so much to so many different
(26:49):
people. So I'm really hoping thatyou know, there's just a variety of
people who will connect to this eventin a meaningful way and really enjoy them
music that we've thoughtfully put together forso many different layers of what motherhood means
to all of us. Yeah,is there anything to add to that from
your perspective? Let's see, canI drop some titles? Yeah? Between
(27:12):
the place we're people in. Sosome of the pieces that we have are
you mean the whole wide world tome? That was a Christina Perry piece
that you mentioned you Raise Me Up. We have a Bach double violin concerto
and as you mentioned, original compositionsby the Toursa Martin and also Nancy Catham.
(27:33):
And we also have a audience participationpiece. But there's also a very
sweet little surprise at the end,but you have to be there to find
out what it is. Okay,please comp it out. Oh, Josh
Grobin could just sing me to sleepevery night? Be fine with it.
I have memories of my mom justloving listening to him. Actually, that's
that's funny. Yeah, so that'spretty cool. That's wonderful. It just
(27:57):
sounds like a beautiful evening. Andyou mentioned that childcare aspect of it.
Again, free on site childcare isprovided. How does that work for folks?
Yeah, so thank you again toStaint Ignacious Catholic School. We're very
very thankful for one of the teachersthere, in addition to other members of
the staff and the before and aftercarechildcare team there. They have graciously agreed
(28:22):
to sponsor childcare for this event.So we have trusted individuals on behalf of
the school who are going to bekeeping the kids busy behind the scenes with
all kinds of fun so that momagain can be listening to this uninterrupted,
relaxing concert experience with whoever she's therewith. So we're very grateful for them.
(28:42):
Free childcare the event is fifteen dollarsto get in or a donation item
to bring for Vita, the beneficiaryof the event, but the childcare is
free. We just asked that youdo register by Wednesday, this Wednesday,
because of course, we need togive some heads up to our folks at

Saint Ignatio so that they are appropriatelystaffing this event to make sure that all
of the kids are safe and supervised. So again that deadline to register is
Wednesday for the childcare event. Okay, this Wednesday, That would be the
eighth of May, Yes, Wednesday, May eighth. Anybody can come to
the concert, whether you register inadvance or not, but for that childcare
(29:26):
component we do require advanced registration.I was just taking a peek at Vita's
list of most needed donation items.No surprise on this list things like diapers,
pull ups, wipes, those typesof things, but also lamps are
on this list. Actually more diapers, more diapers of course, of course

as I would just say, wehave this event on Facebook, a Mother's
Day Concert Celebration. We also havea website. We're starting up a nonprofit
here that will This is brand newand it's still in progress, but it's
called the Vessel Project. So ifyou go to we are vessels dot org.
We are vessels dot org, you'llalso be able to easily get access
(30:36):
to information about the concerts and theregistration. All of that is there in
addition to the most needed items forVITA. So we are vessels dot org
or that Facebook page excuse me,a Mother's Day concert celebration are both different
ways that you can get to informationabout this event. Well, you have
me intrigued to learn more about thisnonprofit. More to come. I just
(31:02):
want to quick mention you could bringa donation item, or you can pay
at the door for fifteen dollars cash, or you could send the item donation
items straight to VITA and just showus the receipt so you don't have to
bring bulky like diapers or strollers thingslike that. So that's another idea to
keep in mind. Lots of waysto support. So this Friday, Friday
(31:23):
May tenth, at six pm atHoly Cross Catholic Church, we really hope
to see everyone there. See youthere, well, I hope it's a

(33:37):
Haley ten Pass joining you from theMyron Construction Studios of w hbuy a beautiful
Monday. I think it makes startingthe week a little easier when you know
that sunshine is coming your way.And hey, the sunshine will be actually
shining through our breakroom this week.I see the team over there out there
putting in that new window after ourTurkey friend broke our window about a week
(34:00):
and a half ago, so shoutout to the team putting that window in
there. Today, it's big,big, exciting things happening here at would
Word, that's for sure. Allright, We've got a great hour of
show planned on this on this Monday. I'm excited to learn more about the
Automo Giallery Automobile Gallery with our listenershere today. Also on the way,
(34:22):
Life Tools Tutoring will join us inour second half of the show along with
a first Alert forecast check in.We'll we have more beautiful days like today.
We'll hear more from Bofogel coming uparound twelve thirty five. But right
now, like I mentioned, thisis the first time that the Automobile Gallery
out of Green Bay is joining ushere in studio. We have Nicole Garcia
(34:44):
with us, who is the directorof Marketing and community Relations with the Automobile
Gallery. Nicole, thank you somuch for being with us and I can't
wait to learn more today. Goodafternoon, Yes, good afternoon, Thank
you so much for having me.Yes, Well, let's just kind of
start by I understanding the all thebasic details of the Automobile Gallery, the
(35:06):
space it is and kind of howit came to be in Green Bay.
Yes, absolutely, and I definitelyappreciate this opportunity to talk about the Automobile
Gallery to your fans and listeners forsure here in the Box Valley. But
the Automobile Gallery originated out of anidea where these gentlemen, specifically Read Lewis,
the owner of PDQ car Wash,they all had a love for the
(35:29):
automobile and they were like, youknow, this collection or our collections are
so beautiful and it really just feelslike we're just sharing them with each other.
But Read Lewis's tagline was the automobileis Art. So he kind of
wanted to take that tagline and makeit a reality. So we opened our
(35:49):
doors in twenty sixteen, and sincethen we have you know, poured into
the gallery itself, poured into growingour collection, into growing the curation of
the vehicles with our executive director andeverything. But the foundation of the gallery
itself is that we are a nonprofitorganization. So the gallery and people coming
(36:12):
into the doors, just admissions everyday. Admissions kind of helps us to you
know, keep that longevity of thegallery. And then we also have event
space as well. Which we rentout to companies and private party parties and
things like that. So we're reallyjust trying to kind of lay that blueprint
down and foundation for everybody to understandwhy we would love to host your event
(36:37):
at our space. Why we wantyou to come and visit us. It's
not just to see the gallery itself, but to know how we are pouring
into our community in the heart ofdowntown Green Bay excellent. So a few
different ways I guess to connect tothe Automobile Gallery, but I first have
to ask about kind of the museumside of things and the cool cars that
are that are you know, housedinside. Can you give us us an
(36:59):
opis of what vehicles live at theAutomobile Gallery. Yeah, honestly, we
have something for everybody, and youdon't really have to be like a fan
of the of the car. Youdon't have to know you know, what
ranch will take out this motor orhow many tons of VA power, et
cetera. Like, you don't needto know all that to appreciate the vehicles
(37:21):
that are in the gallery. Wehave the first electric car, which everybody
thinks that it was Tesla who didit, but it really wasn't. We
have one of those on feature inthe gallery right now. We have a
nineteen eighteen vehicle all the way upto a twenty twenty vehicle, and we
have sports cars, we have trucks. We have you know, just a
(37:43):
large, a plethora, if youwill, of automobiles, and they are
just all visually stunning, and Ithink everybody can appreciate the emotive response that
a vehicle has to the human elements. So you know, regardless of how
young or old you are, youcan really relate to what we have therein
I think so too. In fact, we've done segments on this program before
(38:05):
where listeners have shared their first carmaybe or their dream car, and we
get a pretty wonderful response. Peoplehave connections to vehicles. How do you
rotate cars in the gallery? Doyou have a kind of an ever changing
lineup? How does that work?Yeah, so we do rotate cars quite
regularly, but more so in thesummertime or when the weather is nice out,
(38:30):
I should say, because we can'ttake the vehicles on the road just
for restoration and preservation purposes during thewinter. So we have completely switched out
our front showroom area from what itwas over the winter. We are also
preparing for our event next Saturday,so we're getting a lot of cars in
and out and moving a lot ofthings right now, so it is always
(38:52):
ever changing. We have a kindof a regular rotation, but then we
also have like guess, vehicles thatcome to us from people who you know,
want to also put their car ondisplay for people to enjoy as well.
I think it's so neat that wehave this indoor museum that's year round
accessible the weather factor as you mentioned, but I can't help but think of
(39:15):
the massive crowd getters that we getwith the Iola Car Show for example,
or you see a car show onthe weekends, they're packed, right there's
a huge interest in this area andyou've got a twenty four you know,
three hundred and sixty five day ayear space available. Yes, absolutely,
it is. It is like havinga car show every day of the year
(39:36):
for sure. And we are open, you know, Sunday through Saturday from
nine to three pm, so youknow, we always have our doors open
and welcome people to come in firsttime visitors or repeat visitors. Even you
can become a member if you enjoythe facility as well, and that comes
with benefits too. Perfect do youhave a favorite car in the gallery,
Nicole, I have to ask,Oh, yes, I do. It's
(39:59):
actually an International Harvester Scout that hasbeen my dream car since I can remember.
And it's kind of an interesting one. But I am originally from Texas,
so just that truck aspect and elementand like the purity of it versus
you know, getting something for sportor you know, speed or performance.
(40:20):
It's a different kind of performance.You know, people use them an everyday
life on the farm. Interesting.I was gonna say, I think I
h read so I'm thinking, okay, ih has look up do Yeah,
I'll send you some pictures. Excellent. I got to take a drive in
it the other day. So ourvolunteers help obviously with the preservation of the
(40:42):
vehicles, but they the fun partof their job quote unquote job is that
they get to take them out forrides and drives and when we're moving them
all around. So I got toride in it the other day and it
was amazing. That sounds so fun. What a perk? A perk,
It's a word perk for sure.All Right, we're gonna you break,
but when we come back. Nicolementioned an upcoming event. Yes, May
(41:04):
eighteenth, it's Festa Italiana. Willtalk about this boutique car show to come
also June fifteenth, another community carshow event to tell you more about,
So do not go away. Nicoleis here with the Automobile Gallery and we'll
return with more right here on twelvetwenty three on whby Yes, as you
(41:31):
just heard. On Friday, we'regoing on the road our first I guess
Warm Weather broadcast of the year backat Krueger True Value in Nina this Friday
from eleven to one. The greenhousewill be open. You can shop for
mom, and we hope you comehungry because the chef's gone. Grillin will
(41:51):
be there, so lunch is onus. Come on out, say hello,
do some shopping, and celebrate springwith our friends over at Krueger True
Value in Nina. Right now,the Automobile Gallery is here. Nicole Garcia
is their director of Marketing and CommunityRelations and lots of cool things inside the
Automobile Gallery. They hope you mightconsider though coming out to an event.
(42:13):
On May eighteenth, It's Festa Italianaand I have a feeling a lot of
the vehicles Nicole will reflect that theme. What do you got for us?
Yes? I definitely think that weare going to bring the feel and look
of Italy to Green Bay, SoI'm excited about that. We have about
one hundred especially curated vehicles by ourexecutive director that will be there, and
(42:37):
they are all of Italian nature.But you know, like we were mentioning
earlier, it's not really about thecars, so everybody can come and enjoy.
Also, we have food, wehave gelato, we have Italian wine.
Bellagioso is going to be there withsome cheese samples, So it truly
(42:57):
is like a family event. Ofthe cars are the foundation of it,
but there's so much more for youto do and to see you while you're
there. Wow. I'm still,though, really impressed by the curation of
more than one hundred Italian, Italianmade vehicles, Italian main vehicles, and
we're talking like ultra rare visually stunning, you know, like something that,
(43:22):
yes, the person who understands whatit means to have a one of one
or one of twenty four vehicle,but just again just visually beautiful. Coming
back to that, the automobile isthe art who is That's the tagline that
Red Lewis, our founder, had, so you know, you can appreciate
(43:43):
the visual beauty and of these rarevehicles and enjoy it with your family and
possibly learn something about a car.Most definitely. You also have an event
coming up June fifteenth, Red LewisCars and Guitars Community Car Show. Tell
us about this one. Yes,so this one is very special because it's
a community car show. So basicallywe are welcoming anybody who wants to enter
(44:07):
their vehicle into the car show togo ahead and do that. But then
also it is a free to attendfor the public event, so you can
come. Again, we have thefood element, obviously you can have a
car show without some brats and hotdogs, you know, an outdoor space.
We have grass and we'll have sometables set up so we'll have live
(44:30):
music, which is that guitars elementas well. We have a band that
will be performing on stage. Soit is kind of again true to the
roots of the gallery, pouring intoour community, inviting everybody to come out
and extend Red Lewis's legacy. Actually, you know, he passed away three
years ago, so we want tojust keep his his memory alive through this
(44:54):
event. Perfect well, they bothevents sound really special and you know,
I'm thinking of parents out there withkids who are maybe obsessed with the movie
Cars, yes, or just enjoyvehicles, anything on four wheels. I've
got a little boy and anything onfour wheels. What a cool space to
explore and find more about. Iwould imagine you can just attend these events.
(45:17):
No registration is needed. Yeah,pre registration is or pre purchasing tickets
is definitely not needed. However itwill make things go smoother with regard to
Esta Italiana. Those tickets are availableonline through a website or a Facebook event
page. You can find the linkto get there. But like I said,
the Cars and Guitars event is theSaturday of Father's Day weekend. Is
(45:40):
free to the public. But ifyou have a vehicle that you would love
to enter in the car show,that link is also available online as well.
So much fun, a lot goingon at the Automobile Gallery. And
in the midst of organizing these eventsand helping things run smoothly, Nicole,
we have to talk about the factthat you are participating in a really unique
(46:00):
event in the Greater Green Bay area, and that is the new Dancing with
Our Stars event, and you wereone of the Dancing stars yeah, stars,
I would use in quotation marks orloosely, but yeah, I'm excited
to participate in this event. Isdefinitely a unique platform for fundraising opportunities for
(46:23):
nonprofit organizations, and I'm excited tokind of lift up and spotlight Costa Album
Melanie. Who is the one thatI have chosen so that we can,
you know, hopefully pour money intothem so that they can increase program availability
and keep their doors open. Also, And what type of work is Costa
(46:45):
Album Melanie? So Casta Album Melanieis a Hispanic resource center. Basically,
they just connect families to needs.And it could be an immediate need like
clothes or shoes or things like that, but it can also be something like
linking them to a doctor who canyou help them with what ailment they have
(47:06):
or their child has. But reallythey're about giving this information and having the
families understand it so that they canmake the best and right choice for their
family in need. And it isa Hispanic resource center, but we don't
turn anybody away, So any familywho is in need for anything that we
provide, we are always open tothat for sure. Wow, Well,
(47:29):
I love that You've chosen them,and I'm glad to mention them here today
as you participate in the Dancing withour Stars event. When is that coming
out? So that we are fundraisingfrom now until the actual event, so
you can definitely find that information onFacebook or online. But the event where
each of the eight participants gets toperform their dance is a Saturday, October
(47:54):
fifth at the Epic in Green Bay. Perfect, so plenty of time to
continue fund and to work on theroutine and all of that. Yes,
most importantly work on the routine.You will shine, Nicole. I'm thrilled
for you and just glad to meetyou today. Yes, absolutely, thank
you, Thank you so much forhaving me. I appreciate it absolutely.

the Dancing with Our Stars event aswell. Yes, thanks for being here,
Nicole. Thank you. All right, we'll take a short break and
your first alert forecast is coming upnext win You're down, androble and you
(48:52):
need to helping and welcome back toFocus Fox Valley on w HB Y as
James Taylor saying you've got a friend, and when your parent, I'm sure
there can be sometimes a fine lineto follow and being a parent and being
(49:14):
a friend, it can be verytricky and how do you find that delicate
balance as well? We turn toour friends over at Life Tools Tutoring and
Coaching when we have these trickier parentingtopics come up. And I'm always grateful
to have Mike and Beth Boett withLife Tools Tutoring and Coaching in studio to
talk through some of these parenting topics. Mike and Beth, good morning,
(49:36):
good afternoon to you. Good tosee you, Good to see you.
I'm wonderful, wonderful to have youhere, and this topic again what I'm
eager to chat with you about.And you know, no judgment either,
because I get it. I'm nervousabout this stage of parenting for myself.
You know, my kids are sortof in the season of still liking me
(49:58):
for the most part. They're youngenough to still kind of think I'm cool
in a sense. And I willsay I am nervous for when my cool
points are drained and my children wantnothing to do with me, And I
can imagine how tempting it would beyou know, to kind of lean into
trying to befriend your kids and inorder to maybe return to that magical season
(50:20):
like I'm in right now where yourkids do really like you. So we're
going to talk about that here today. How do you approach it? Mike
and Bethel? Bethe'll turn to youfirst. How do you kind of approach
this being a friend versus being aparent? Or where do you see it
most often? I guess when Mikeand I talked about it, we talked
about sort of the switch. Rightwhen they're little, it's they have shorter
(50:42):
memories, which is just fantastic.So there's you know, they make a
mistake, there's the consequence, andthen comes the fun part. Right,
you get to love them up andyou get to play, and they again
think you're cool, right all ofthat and want to hang out with you.
But as they get older, that'swhere it gets a little bit trickier,
right where you need to set upthat structure and you need to have
(51:06):
boundaries and all the same while makingthem feel safe and secure and yet letting
them know that their actions have consequences, and sometimes that stings a little bit,
right that it's not all fabulous allthe time. What do you think,
Mike? Yeah, I agree.Frankly, I think you know,
we want to be friends with ourwith our kids, and friendships obviously are
(51:29):
easier than being a parent. Parentingis hard. Disciplining our kids is hard.
It's it can be lonely on occasion, right because you know, you're
that that person that needs to setup the boundaries and then when you know
kids are going to make mistakes andwhen they do, you have to be
you know, the enforcer, andthat can be very difficult. So I
(51:51):
think you do have to walk thatfine line. But Frankly, you know,
we've had enough experience that we knowyou have to default to the parenting
role first because if you develop thatsense of structure and that trust from your
kids, by developing that those boundaries, that friendship or that relationship will grow
and develop by default. So isthere risk in taking the friendship approach in
(52:16):
parenting? What's your thought on that? There's there's there's a lot of risk
with that, And Frankly, Idon't know that I would we would,
even when we talked about it,would even think about developing a friendship with
ours with our kids. We wantto create a relationship certainly with our kids.
But friendships are different when you thinkabout as adults, your adult friendships.
(52:38):
If one of your friends came upto you and demanded that you,
you know, be home by midnightevery night, you know that that just
wouldn't work right there, There's there'sa conflict in between parenting and friendships.
So I don't know that I wouldcall our relationship with our younger kids friendships.
It's a parent child relationship and it'sa great relationship. Now that our
(52:59):
kids are old, we do havefriendships with our twenty year old kids,
but that's a different phase of life, certainly different phase of phase of life.
Yes, I'm thinking though of thoseparents who are in that tween,
that tween stage. Oh my heartaches for those parents in that tween stage,
because it is difficult when children arepushing those boundaries, you know,
(53:22):
to as far as they absolutely can. What's your advice to that tween age.
I'm thinking like ten eleven, twelveup to you know, fifteen,
sixteen, seventeen, Beth, whatdo you see there? It is hard.
It's tough, right because you're theirbiggest fan, you love them more
than anybody in the whole world.So I think when they push the envelope
(53:43):
and they make mistakes and they choosenot to follow the rules, right,
I think we still need to haveclear consequences for that. The part that
Mike and I talk about that's theongoing struggle is through all of that,
letting them know we're your biggest welove you more than anything in the world,
and we're doing this because we loveyou. And you know if at
(54:06):
some point, you know, it'sa couple of days that they're home or
they're grounded to maybe be available,and sometimes you're just going to maybe get
a couple of doors shut in yourface, or they're going to roll their
eyes at you, or they're goingto do it silent treatment. Yeah,
exactly. And they may not talkto you, but they know you're there,
and they know that you're always thereand that you're going to love them
(54:27):
even though they're going to make mistakenumber four hundred and fifty, just like
we did. Yeah. And Ithink too, as Beth had mentioned,
especially if our teenage kids or ourmiddle school kids are struggling socially, I
think it is important that you're justin the house. Sometimes you don't necessarily
need to be on their back aboutyou know, let's play cards together or
let's hang out. But I thinkjust just being there for them and let
(54:49):
them let them know that, youknow, maybe if the friend didn't want
to get together tonight, that you'restill able to be there for them.
So and the kids will, youknow, they'll reattach from time to time
just hanging around watching television, ormaybe they will play cards with you,
or you know, go for awalk in the woods or something. So
I think there's a lot to besaid for just being there even when you're
(55:10):
busy and you've got other things probablythat you could be doing. I think
that's a great point. You know, you're not completely keeping yourself out of
a friendliness with your children. You'renot, you know, eliminating yourself from
having you know, hobbies together oractivity together. But you mentioned structure,
and I want to ask about thatspecific topic when it comes to kids.
(55:32):
In a lot of senses, Iwould imagine kids maybe need that structure,
and so the data is there torepresent that they need that structure, but
they probably in a sense might likeit a little bit. I don't know
what are your thoughts on structure withthese kids? Yeah, they sure certainly
won't tell you that they like it. I can guarantee you that at least
not until they're you know, twentytwo or beyond. But that structure,
(55:54):
and I think psychologically it makes sense. You know, even from a dull
perspective, kids need to know thatthere's consistency, that there's structure, that
there's rules, that you know,this house is a safe place for me
because you know, let's be honest, they're getting chaos from the rest of
the world, right there are norules, there's you know, no sense
of foundation, there's no sense ofsecurity. Things are here one day and
(56:16):
gone the next. And to havethat sense of structure and boundaries and rules
and structure at home, I thinkis what, you know, even from
a mental health perspective, is abig deal for kids. That's anything to
add to that absolutely, And thenow we do have adult children, and
so every once in a while they'llstart, you know, kind of ganging
(56:36):
up on mom and dad as faras how their upbringing was just so you
know, dramatic and all these differentthings, and they would come home and
of course you're going to get thissaying that I'm the only one that can't
do that or I'm the only onethat doesn't have this or whatever, and
we would joke sometimes in the rightif it was the right moment, and
say you're welcome, which they neverappreciated until now that I was like,
(56:58):
we were the only one, rightbut it and where I was like,
yeah, and we did that outof love. And I think now they
can look and they giggle and sayyeah, yeah, yeah, right,
and they know that that's why wedid it. They have friends that lived
in houses that didn't have that,and now their adult friends are struggling for
a lot of different reasons. Mydad always said, well, now you
have a story to tell your friendsand talk how horrible one another story,
(57:22):
another story. You're welcome, Yeah, hindsight right, all right, we'll
take a short break, but whenwe come back more on this topic and
listeners, if you've lived or walkedthis balance or have seen success in your
family, you're welcome to caller textin here today. Nine two zero,
two, eight, one eleven fiftyis that number. Being a friend and
(57:42):
being a parent a tricky balance tofind. And we'll talk further with life
tools in just a bit on HbyWelcome back to Focus Fox Valley on w
HB. Why talking through so thosetougher parenting topics with our friends with Life
Tools twitoring and coaching. Mike andBeth are here with us, and I
(58:08):
think, you know, parents getscared of that relationship, but they've built
with their kids, losing that relationshipas they grow older being the bad guy.
They're afraid to have a child whodoesn't want to be with them as
much. That stings. That's hard. Like I said, I'm nervous for
(58:29):
that season of life whenever it arrives. Maybe what can you maybe share with
our listeners, Mike and Beth thatmight reassure them that it's okay to go
through that stage with your kids,because everyone I think kind of goes through
that stage with their kids. Andif you haven't, what's your secret?
Please call on us today, Beth. I'll turn to you first on that.
(58:52):
I think it is scary. Ithink you give that consequence and they
go in their room and you don'tsee them for that whole day, right,
and you're just way and you think, you know, you second guess
yourself forty times, right, likewas I too harsh? Was did I
say the right thing? And youknow, was it too much. And
meanwhile they're friends right on the phoneif they're pulled out the phone, and
you know, your parents are theworst people ever of all time, right,
(59:15):
everybody, So it is hard.The great part is at the end
when you can come back together andyou get a hug or they right,
and you just say like, it'sgoing to be okay. Whatever it is,
it's going to be okay, andwe're going to figure this out.
And everybody makes mistakes. I think, just reiterating we did, we had
mistakes too. You just don't knowthat because you know us as old people,
(59:37):
right, and I think too,you know again it to say it
again, parenting is hard. Soif you're coming into this and you're struggling,
you're doing it right, right.It's it's not just a bowl of
cherries by a long shot. SoI think you do need to be okay
with that. And relationships change.So what you have with your with your
younger children is going to be differentrelationship than you have with your middle school
(59:58):
students, with your high schoo thosestudents, and then you know different again
when they're adult children, so areadults, I guess, and but still
your children. So I think it'sthe bottom line is it's not about me
as parent, it's about them aschild. So you need to do what's
best for them and develop those relationships, but then then evolve as those relationships
(01:00:19):
change and be okay with that.And it's not easy. It's not easy.
But again, we have adult childrenand we have fantastic I would say
friendships with our adult children, andyou know that's the current phase we're in,
and it's it's fantastic, We'll getthere. That's some good advice for
us younger parents and the think thickof it. I will say, though
too. In many cases, notall cases, but in a lot of
cases, parents are parenting together,right. It's it's it's it's there's two
(01:00:44):
people in that home who are helpingguide those kids. Any advice for parents
together as partners in this and howmaybe they can approach that that fine line
when it comes to friendships with kidskids. I think it's a gift to
have that second parent, right becauseit's that moment where he gets you home
from work or I come home andI'm like, I can't do it.
(01:01:06):
We got to get this grounding wasfar too long, This was way too
harsh, and Okay, what changedand then you talk it through and you're
like, you're right, you know, this is the right thing to do
because we're doing it because we wantour children to be great adults. We
want them to be great people,great friends, right, those people that
are just good people. So it'sit to have that sounding board when you're
(01:01:29):
ready to give up, which isprobably eighty times during that amount of time
that they're that they're in, youknow, having that concept and a shout
out to single parents out there.We've with our work at Life Tools,
we've had the blessing of working withlots of single parents and they're just warriors,
right, because that can be avery lonely, you know, stretch
of time getting from a young childto adulthood and then having that adult friendship.
(01:01:52):
But it's lonely and you don't havethat sounding board and you have to
be the bad guy all the time, and that the temptation to be friend
first is certainly there because I'm lonelyand i just want someone to talk to.
But we've had some warrior single parentswho you know, just do it
and do it and do it andtheir kids have turned out fantastically and now
(01:02:13):
again they have this adult relationship,which is fantastic and they're both thriving,
but you know, it was eighteenyears of real difficult sort of trotting along
all sad. Well, I thinkif there's anything we all can take away
is that we're all going to gethere at some point and we can all
kind of be in the weeds togetherand hopefully come out the other end with
children who realize the tactics utilize werefor their benefit. Right, absolutely present
