Anyone who loves dogs or

finds them irritating will enjoy

this sweet, quirky comedy by

A.R. Gurney – famous for his

plays that explore the eccen-

tricities of family life. Greg

and Kate, married 22 years,

with their last child now off to

college, have moved from the

suburbs into Manhattan.

Kate’s new teaching career

flourishes; Greg’s financial

career is in a nosedive. Greg

brings home a stray, Sylvia –

part lab, part poodle – and

Kate, done with dogs, is not

amused. Sylvia is played by a

woman but she’s convincingly

all dog: eager to please, mys-

tified by human behavior.

“Increasing the number of

of the keys to economic

recovery,” Doyle said.

“Technical colleges like

Nicolet are at the absolute

center of that.”

For years Nicolet students

– mainly those in the

Health Occupations – have

benefitted from Ministry

Health Care’s partnership

with the college. Many

Nicolet students complete

their clinical requirements

at Ministry facilities, re-

ceive scholarships from

Ministry donations, and

benefit academically from

Ministry staff serving on

advisory committees.

Many Nicolet graduates

also go on to work for Min-

istry.

Because of this commit-

ment to higher education,

Ministry was recently

named a "WTCS Future-

maker Partner" by the Wis-

consin Technical College

System Board. This award

recognizes organizations

that partner with technical

colleges in pursuit of

strong futures through

sustainable jobs.

System President Dan Clancy presented the

award to Ministry for help-

ing to ensure the availabil-

ity of well-trained health

care professionals to meet

the needs of area resi-

dents and furthering the

economic vitality of North-

ern Wisconsin communi-

ties. Nicolet nominated

Ministry for the award.

And we’re off...off to a great

start this semester. So far,

students in the ADVANCE Pro-

gram, a credit-based high

school program located on

campus, participated in a ser-

vice project helping harvest

vegetables from the Commu-

nity Garden located in Rhine-

lander. Other volunteers took

the students under their wings

and, together, a record

amount of 306 lbs of fresh

vegetables were

harvested and

delivered to the

Rhinelander Food

Pantry. We

learned, too, that

many of the food

items we once thought were

vegetables are actually fruit!

Upon delivery, the food pantry

staff provided students with

the inside scoop on the food

pantry services and its overall

operation.

Second on our list, we are

proud to announce that the

ADVANCE students are now

certified in first aid/CPR. Our

thanks to Liz Reischel for shar-

ing her knowledge and provid-

ing this important training for

students.

More adventures are “in the

wings,” but in the meantime,

be sure to take time out of

your day to appreciate the

beauty of the fall colors that

surround us here in the North-

woods.

FESTIVAL OF FLAVORSFESTIVAL OF FLAVORSFESTIVAL OF FLAVORSFESTIVAL OF FLAVORS

On August 29-30. Alec Gabriel and I volunteered to help at the 1st Annual

“Festival of Flavors” in Eagle River, WI. The festival featured Wisconsin

products, local restaurants, Culinary Artisan Cheese Producers, Wisconsin

Wineries and Breweries.

The festival drew over 2,500 people to the area and was a success despite

the unseasonable weather that weekend. Alec helped several chefs with

their demonstrations at the Festival throughout the weekend.

Culinary students in the Beverage

Management recently visited the

Brigadoon Winery in Tripoli, WI.

Brigadoon Winery is owned and operated by

a Nicolet Culinary Alumni Katie Welbes and

her family. They offered the class a first rate

tour of their wine making facilities, bottling

room, vineyard where they grow several

types of grapes as well as their gift shop.

The Welbes are very hospitable as well as extremely knowledgeable

about the industry and the tour was an excellent educational and fun

compared to most cell phones

out there, but the iPod also lets

you connect to any open Wi-fi

signal you want! While the iPod has some down-

how I would get along without an

MP3 player. I have been able to

condense my entire musical

catalog into just a few gigs, and

carry it around with me any-

where! Well now the MP3 play-

ers are taking their next step

into the future, and the Apple

iPod touch is no exception. The device itself is quite slim

and light. I’m amazed at how

much technology fits into such a

small space. It’s storage capac-ity ranges from 8 gigabytes to

64 gigabytes so you will always

have enough space for that song

you can’t get out of your head.

The battery life is an impressive

weigh them. The price can be a

little hefty ($300 for standard

retail) but remember, this is

more than just an MP3 player.

The display is really nice; better

than most cell phone’s I’ve

seen, and the sound quality is

strong and fierce. I like the fact

it can fit almost anywhere with-

and it is light enough that if I

drop it, it won’t take as much

damage as a lot of other devices

I’ve used. It can work with both

Macs and PCs and is definitely a

product that you will get your

money’s worth from. The iPod

touch is a definite must-have for

any music junkie out there!
