Members of the Landmarks Commission received an update on archaeological finds at the site of the new Oshkosh Corp. headquarters at its July 11 meeting from anthropol-ogy and cultural resource staff at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee who conducted the excavation work.

Principal investigator Jennifer Haas and field director Seth Schnei-der described the prehistoric objects found at the 13-acre site dating back to the Woodland Period (900 to 1400 AD) when it was likely a for-mer campsite/village. Haas said there were no Native American artifacts found during the excavations and that details on the four human remains would be released later in subsequent reports. She said the final report on the project should be ready by spring.

Haas said the excavation site be-ing a golf course with undisturbed land helped with the work. Much of the excavation went 4 feet deep with 2 feet being typical.

Of 444 shovel tests, 174 had ma-terial to be collected and analyzed with 105 having cultural features. The materials consist of chipped stone flaking debris (from the manufacture and maintenance of stone tools), a few chipped stone tools, animal bone frag-ments, fire-cracked rock, and grit-tem-pered pottery. Preliminary assessment suggests that most of the excavated site functioned as refuse pits, hearths and cooking/processing areas.

The Data Recovery Project included mechanical stripping to identify cultural features, features excavation, and identification and ex-cavation of burial features. The burials were found on the eastern edge of the

site. About 10 acres were subjected to data recovery while the remaining 3 acres will remain preserved.

The area is identified as part of a Middle Fox River Passageway con-necting the Great Lakes to the Mis-sissippi River that was continuously occupied in prehistoric and historic times. All nonburial materials will be donated to the city and its Oshkosh Public Museum.

Haas, who has more than 20 years of experience managing archae-ological and historical investigations throughout the Midwest, said her staff is analyzing the material and catalog-ing it for the reports. Commission members discussed with Haas and Schneider the prospects for the site being recommended as eligible for listing in the National Register of His-toric Places. Haas said the site would likely qualify for such a designation.

City mounts dark store challenge Council joins effort to push state for big-box tax reformBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Homeowners and small businesses could be assessed up to 5 percent more in Oshkosh if big-box retailers have their way in challenging their property tax assess-ments, according to Mayor Steve Cum-mings.

Cummings said the large retailers are arguing in courts that their assessments should be reduced to that of a vacant, boarded-up structure — characterized as a “dark store” — rather than the present practice based on building space and use.

The city had to refund more than $300,000 to Walgreens for its property tax assessments as a result of a recent court rul-ing.

The Common Council voted 5-1 Tues-day to provide up to $10,000 to the League of Wisconsin Municipalities to participate in efforts to persuade the state to reform com-

Thousands take ownership of small city that EAA creates By Tim FrobergHerald contributor

Engines propel airplanes and wings help lift them into the air.

Most air shows, though, couldn’t get off the ground without dedicated volun-teers. They are a major reason why the Ex-perimental Aircraft Association’s AirVen-

ture is always No. 1 on the list of must-see air shows.

AirVenture is considered the world’s largest of its kind with an average annual attendance of roughly 500,000. The 2017 event drew 590,000 visitors — a 5 per-cent increase from 2016 — and more than 10,000 aircraft flew in and out of Wittman Regional Airport and other airfields in east-central Wisconsin.

With so many people and planes de-scending upon Oshkosh, it takes waves of

volunteers in a wide variety of different ar-eas to keep AirVenture humming. A total of 5,000 volunteers worked the 2017 event and 500 additional volunteers are expected to assist at this year’s show.

“For volunteers, there’s something for everyone,” said Sean Sellers, a member of EAA’s volunteer advisory council along with its council for collegiate volunteers. “We have a huge network of volunteers that

The Rental Housing Advisory Board plans to launch an educational campaign to acquaint landlords and tenants with the new rental inspection procedures that will go into effect next year.

The board decided at its July 11 meet-ing to use a broad-based approach that will include the Farmers Market, social media and public information options.

Donn Lord, president of the Win-nebago Apartment Association, told board members his group is looking forward to a positive working relationship with the city.

“We have the same goals; the question is how do we get there,” Lord said, adding that he plans to offer input at future meet-

ings of the advisory board.The city has between 10,000 to 12,000

rental units in the community.Common Council member Lori

Palmeri, who serves on the board, said the council will need board input as to the designated area for inspections as part of a Neighborhood Enhancement and Stabiliza-tion District by early fall as the council pre-pares to adopt a city budget in November.

July 15, 1949Outdoor theater has grand open-ing: The 44 Outdoor theater had its grand opening. Located near the intersection of highways 41 and 44 near Duwe Precast and the Win-nebago County Airport, the large outdoor theater featured a huge screen that faced to the east and a gravel parking lot. Post-mounted metal speakers provided the audio. Family entertainment was provid-ed by a concession building and a playland for children situated right in front of the huge screen. Promo-tions featured Buck Night where a carload of guests were admitted for a dollar. The premier featured a movie titled “The Swordsman” starring Larry Parks.

Dark stores target could miss mark

There has been quite the debate about the property tax value of businesses as of late. I hear the term “dark store” and I instantly feel leery. What exactly is it?

By definition, a dark store is a distribution warehouse not open to the public, hence dark store, a place set up to store and send product regionally. Walmart and Amazon come to mind with regional super-warehouses set up around the nation.

Now the definition of dark stores is being expanded into other “open to the public” retail centers and other busi-nesses. The argument is that they are not paying their fair share in property taxes. Assessors are claiming a loophole that allows them to pay less.

Value is market based. It depends on local vacancies and comparable values. If there are a lot of vacant properties, values come down. They want to assess the value based more on income.

I understand how these large corpo-rations look tempting to raise taxes on, but I caution the approach the League of Municipalities is taking right now. Much like most tax regulation, government takes aim at the large fish because they have a lot of money and can afford it, right? Well, they certainly have the mon-ey to afford the top accountants as well as tax lawyers to minimalize the burden. Unfortunately, us smaller businesses do not and will feel the full weight of these regulations.

Furthermore, the League of Mu-nicipalities is asking the city of Oshkosh and others to help fund a campaign to pass these measures. In effect, using my tax dollars to help pass legislation to increase my tax dollars. I know I am not the target of this measure. Any business with a triple net lease knows the taxes and fees get passed on to us. This will be no different.

It seems to me that targeted legisla-tion almost always misses the intended target and hits the unintended masses. Heath care premiums come to mind. We seem to let decent intentions drive legislation that fails to foresee the conse-quences on the whole economy.

Big bullets fired at large companies have a tendency of being deflected and wounding the little guys with its shrapnel. Perhaps we need to stop firing and find a method that actually helps the little guy.

If we aren’t careful, we will destroy small business. You will be left with the only businesses that can afford to deflect the cost. Imagine Oshkosh pizza being reduced to Dominos and Pizza Hut be-cause West End, Red’s, Doctor Benzie’s, Ratch and Deb’s, and ZaRonis were taxed out of existence?

I understand why this is enticing to our city to get behind, as well as home-owners. Remember that most of us small businesses are struggling to get ahead and this cost will be passed on to us. If we take aim at these dark stores and miss, your local shops will become the real dark stores.

Relationships Across Generations Provide

Positive Impact On SocietySpecial moments with an

older person are often some of our fondest memories. Whether you learned your way around the kitchen, went fishing, planted a garden or worked on the clunker in the garage, you enjoyed spending time with someone special, someone across the generations. Often in the glow of these memories, we think of how wonderful we felt and how the time spent together made us

happier. This happiness flows into improving emotional and physical wellness of both the young and old. Both are more optimistic and hopeful for the future. Knowing relationships across the generations are a strong, positive part of our social fabric, Miravida Living has introduced programs and activities involving children, students and volunteers.

One activity that encourages intergenerational relationships with community members is Cycling Without Age. This program matches volunteer pilots with our residents for a rickshaw ride. It creates opportunities for sharing stories, being outside and enjoying the companionship of someone across the generations. One volunteer pilot enjoyed being with our residents and sharing stories so much she decided to make a career change. She is in the process of obtaining her certified nursing assistant license and will soon be a resident assistant at Gabriel’s Villa.

“A Blast from the Past”

EAA prepares for half-million visitors to enjoy the show

Team always looks to improve on visitors’ experienceBy Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Planning for each year’s AirVenture convention is a never-ending task that starts as soon as the previous year’s show is over, according to Dick Knapinski, EAA senior communications adviser.

“We have a five-year plan which is up-dated every year,” he said.

Knapinski said this year’s festival from July 23 to 29 will feature many amazing changes taking place as well as additional improvements to the EAA grounds.

What’s new will be featured in a map and guide at the EAA AirVenture Welcome Center at the Four Corners, where attend-ees can find out what’s happening around the grounds. In addition to supplying infor-mation, the Welcome Center will be host to several events during AirVenture including appearances by Aviore, EAA’s new super-hero. Complimentary copies of the comic book’s first issue will be available.

The One Week Wonder is back this year after more than 2,500 attendees suc-cessfully constructed a Zenith CH 750 in just seven days during AirVenture 2014. The 2018 One Week Wonder airplane will be a Van’s RV-12iS as part of Van’s Aircraft celebration of the company’s 10,000th fly-ing RV.

The Pilot Proficiency Center will offer fliers of all skill levels a chance to advance their abilities with a new addition featuring a personalized post-flight debrief provided by CloudAhoy after each simulator flight.

Featured celebrations will mark 100

years of Great Britain’s Royal Air Force and the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Air Force Reserve Command with its “Year of the Tanker” presentation. Key aircraft from the two military units will be displayed.

Knapinski said EAA staff reviews at-tendees’ comments about what they en-joyed and what they would like to see. Last year more than 590,000 attended AirVen-ture from 80 countries, along with about 10,000 airplanes.

“This is a global phenomenon,” Knap-inski said. “Our goal is to enable attendees to move throughout the grounds with as little trouble as possible.”

The organization has transportation vehicles that take people for free anywhere on the grounds such as to warbird displays,

ultralights and other exhibitions.Recent changes have included add-

ing Wi-Fi to almost every portion of the grounds and expanding water and electrical hookups in Camp Schuller. Wi-Fi coverage now includes the campgrounds, which has space for at least 8,000 camping units with a total of 11,600 units when including those next to accompanying aircraft.

“We used to have rough camping be-fore,” Knapinski said, noting there are now more than 600 sites with water and elec-tricity. There are also four grocery store/shopping facilities on site, two of them in the campground.

A new goal is to expand the area for homebuilt aircrafts and related camping.

He said the last 25 years has result-

ed in many physical improvements to the grounds such as permanent structures to house forums and workshops — replacing tents — that are equipped for video presen-tations. The Main Entrance was moved to enable people to move faster through the large area.

A more recent facility is the Youth Aviation Center in the Warbirds area with flight simulators as part of youth aviation educational activities.

Another change has been modifica-tions to the Seaplane base where infrastruc-ture improvements such as walkways have been installed.

“Success creates challenges,” Knapins-ki said, pointing out that 16,000 people vis-ited the base last year.

Air show planning a yearlong venture

From EAA

For 51 weeks a year, the Experimen-tal Aircraft Association is an interna-tional community of more than 200,000 members that nurtures the spirit of flight through a worldwide network of chapters, outreach programs and other events.

But for one week each summer, EAA

members and aviation enthusiasts totaling more than 500,000 from 80 countries at-tend AirVenture at Wittman Regional Air-port, where they rekindle friendships and celebrate the past, present and future in the world of flight.

The World’s Greatest Aviation Cele-

bration has it all when it comes to aircraft: warbirds, vintage, homebuilts, ultralights. Some are normally found in a hangar at that local airport, others are the only one of their kind.

For many, arriving at Oshkosh is a rite of passage that can only be satisfied by be-ing one of the more than 10,000 aircraft fly-ing in, landing at what becomes the busiest

airport in the world.Daily air shows, aerobatics and pyro-

technics, feature films, forums, workshops, demonstrations, KidVenture, Theater in the Woods, night air shows — all of this and more is included with daily admission.

There is uniqueness to each AirVenture that keeps lifelong attendees coming back. It needs to be experienced to understand.

Drone show to illuminate night skyFrom EAA

For the first time in North America, a drone light show will be part of an EAA AirVenture performance during the nights of July 25 and 28.

The night air shows have become a favorite of the weeklong event, featuring a new perspective on the precise flying skills of aerobatic pilots.

The demonstrations will mark the first time a lighted drone display is part of an air show performance. Great Lakes Drone Co. based in Watervliet, Mich., will be fly-ing its drones and is one of just two U.S. companies authorized by the FAA for such displays.

“EAA and Great Lakes Drone Compa-ny worked closely with the FAA to make this pioneering and innovative event possible,” said Dave Chaimson, EAA vice president of marketing and business development.

“What makes this event especially memorable are the intricate maneuvers that are capable by up to 100 synchronized drones, highlighting the possibilities of safe and responsible drone flying. People come to AirVenture to see aerial excitement not seen anywhere else, and these performanc-es certainly continue that tradition.”

Great Lakes Drone Co. has done nu-merous shows as stand-alone highlights at events, but this is the first as part of an air show performance. During AirVenture, the LED-equipped drones will perform a 10-minute “History of Flight” show with musical accompaniment.

City preparations key on safety and entertainment By Tom EkvallHerald contributor

Oshkosh is Wisconsin’s Event City, and there is nothing more spectacular than the annual AirVenture celebration going on for those wishing to experience the com-munity.

The week features not only EAA at-tractions but plenty of other activities throughout the city that may be of interest to attendees.

Mayor Steve Cummings said the com-munity has much to offer those attending, including a music festival, Tiffany art exhib-it, Quilters Guild show and a farmers mar-ket, among other attractions.

“This is the biggest event of the year for us,” Cummings said.

The Oshkosh GO Transit bus system will provide rides between the EAA grounds and downtown area every half-hour for $3. The buses are in addition to normal city service.

Special events coordinator Kathy Snell said the city begins working with EAA offi-cials shortly after the previous convention ends to plan for the next one and includes representatives of the police and fire de-partments and anyone else having a role in the preparations.

City police work with the Winnebago County Sheriff ’s Department and other state and federal officials out of a command post on the EAA grounds. Assigned police presence is provided through overtime hours so that coverage for the city is not compromised. Law enforcement officials meet three times a day to review plans and share information with updates proposed for the following year.

“We are hoping to pull people from the EAA into other events going on in the city,” Snell said.

She said her role is to work with orga-nizations to make sure their events have the required support from all city departments involved. Event organizers are charged a fee for services, which for EAA amounted to $98,757 in 2017.

Activities outside of the EAA grounds begin with a power boat drag race spon-sored by the Upper Midwest Power Boat

Association on the Saturday before AirVen-ture, which will bring 30 to 40 craft that will race from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Millers Bay section of Menominee Park.

Live indoor and outdoor music will be provided at several bars with musicians performing from July 25 to July 29 as part of the Oshkosh Main Street Music Festi-val. Featured stages will be at as Peabody’s Ale House and Sideyard, Fletch’s Local Tap House, Barley and Hops, and Twisted Roots. The event, now in its sixth year, is a celebration of the city and its downtown district with more than 100 musicians, art-ists, comedians and entertainers scheduled. Performance times range from lunchtime to late evening.

A free family concert Tuesday at the Leach Amphitheater along the Fox Riv-er features Conscious Pilot, a classic rock band. The music starts at 6:30 p.m. with family-focused activities beginning at 6 p.m. The concert is sponsored by Verve, a Credit Union.

Two prominent and architecturally significant homes built by former lumber barons on Algoma Boulevard offer visitors a look at the city’s historic past with other

ongoing exhibits.The Paine Art Center and Gardens at

1410 Algoma has on display a collection of Tiffany artworks from the Chicago-based Driehaus Collection, featuring 60 exam-

ples of lamps, windows and vas-es at this historic estate known for its gardens and art. The display can be seen between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Sunday for $12 per adult.

Across the street from the Paine is the Osh-kosh Public Mu-seum at 1331 Algoma, which is featuring “For Home and Coun-try: World War I,” a presentation that will transport those attending back in time through the artifacts, photo-graphs and stories

of local men and women from Oshkosh, in-cluding listening to letters sent home.

The museum is part of the historic Sawyer home, an English Tudor Revival residence. The museum is open to visitors from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 1 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Ad-mission is $8 for adults, $6 for those 62 and older, and discounted rates for youth and college students.

For those looking to purchase locally grown food items or crafts, the Oshkosh Farmers Market provides booths on down-town Main Street, along with music from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday. The market is ranked one of the 101 best in America by Daily Meal. The organization also sponsors a Wednesday afternoon Market in the Park at South Park from 3 to 7 p.m.

For those interested in quilting and sewing, there is an EAA Quilt Show from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday at the Oshkosh Seniors Center, 234 N. Campbell Road.

Other activities include a night of trivia at the Grand Opera House at 7 p.m. Thursday and karaoke the following night.

“We have a lot going on for people to spend time off the EAA grounds visiting the community of Oshkosh,” Cummings said, also pointing to many shopping op-tions, restaurants and taverns.

EAA AirVenture 2018

Hospitality comes in many forms, including dorms, shelter

By Alex WolfHerald contributor

Festivals, shopping, music, water, great food and drinks – what’s not to love about that? Oshkosh is one of the best places to visit come summertime because it offers most everything.

That’s why the city is – and always has been – a great host for EAA AirVenture come late July. There’s a reason people call Oshkosh the Event City. With AirVenture kicking off July 23 and running through July 29, people staying in the city or just outside of it have one of the best reasons to come back every year.

“Oshkosh has been hosting AirVenture for 49 years and the experience of hosting this event for so many years really makes Oshkosh the best place for it,” said Justin DeJager, marketing director at the Oshkosh Convention & Visitors Bureau. “From the hard-working staff at the EAA to our police and fireman and local business owners, Os-hkosh is a well-oiled machine during Air-Venture. Another factor is the hospitality that the local community and surrounding area show visitors during the event.

“Our hotels, the university and camp-grounds sell out; however, hundreds of locals open their doors and house these travelers every year. We can’t house them all, but we do our best to find accommo-dations for as many as possible. If you de-cide to take a break throughout the day, or spend time downtown at night, Oshkosh has a lot to offer.”

That includes the free Main Street Music Festival from July 25 to 29 with live music, comedians, entertainers, food and drinks.

“The (festival) will draw visitors to

downtown businesses to enjoy live music,” DeJager said. “Numerous other pubs and restaurants throughout the city will also have entertainment during the week.”

Aside from the EAA Museum, Osh-kosh has three other museums including the Paine Art Center and Gardens, Osh-kosh Public Museum and Military Veterans Museum. Other attractions include brew-eries, restaurants, the Outlet Shoppes, Pol-lock Pool, Riverwalk, Wiouwash Trail and Lake Winnebago.

“I’ve been to EAA about five times and every time it’s been great, the city has been great,” said Tom Singer, a resident of Wau-watosa. “Some of the best spots the family likes to go are located on the river. We’ve been to Fox River Brewing and Dockside Tavern. Both of those spots are beautiful.”

DeJager said some of the popular plac-es to eat include Ground Round, Becket’s, Dockside, Fox River Brewing and TJ’s. Op-tions closer to the EAA grounds include The Hangar, Friar Tuck’s and the Hilton Garden Inn.

Singer said he and his family have also golfed at some of the courses Oshkosh has to offer.

Oshkosh has been a great host for Air-Venture because of the ability to house an enormous number of visitors in its hotels, private housing rentals and dormitories.

Booking a hotel is the easy way to do it, but don’t fret if there are no rooms left. Airbnb, an online community marketplace that connects people looking to rent their homes, has been increasingly popular and a great way to find affordable housing.

“For anyone coming to AirVenture, we recommend booking a hotel, dorm or anything else as soon as possible,” DeJager said. “People are already booking places to stay for AirVenture 2019. Oshkosh does everything it can to host as many people as possible. Even before Airbnb became pop-

ular, people have been renting their homes or rooms in their homes to AirVenture at-tendees.

“Renting private properties, whether it’s a whole house or just a room in a house, is a great option for travelers looking to stay in Oshkosh. We prefer to have these visitors spend their money in Oshkosh so we help open as many doors as possible for people to stay in our city.”

Especially for people that can afford it, renting a house on the lakes nearby has been a popular thing. Even if you’re not staying, coming to EAA by boat has been another option.

“We’d go up to Oshkosh for a day or two and we’d spend one day or half the day at EAA, and would take the boat and head to Lake Winnebago,” Singer said. “We’d fish, swim and do some other water activi-ties. It works out great; it’s a great area.”

Another option is the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, which hires summer staff throughout the busy week to host visi-tors in the dormitories.

Father Carr’s Place 2 B shelter has had a project under construction for the last year to build an area where families are allowed to stay until they get their lives re-settled while also offering them for rent to

EAA visitors.“We have both a women’s and a men’s

shelter that are both very beautiful hotels. Father Carr wanted to make sure that the shelter he was building would look like somewhere you would want to stay,” said Neil Romenesko, director of the men’s shel-ter. “Families can stay as long as they want either in the women and children’s shelter, or the men’s shelter. Because so many wom-en in the shelter have been traumatized by abusive spouses we need to keep it separate so that we don’t cause anyone trauma.”

The directors of the shelter came to-gether to create the new family rooms, a set of family suites with a personal bathroom and multiple beds.

Father Carr’s is renting out 32 of the shelter’s rooms for EAA, each “adopted” by community members who donated their time, energy and money to decorate the hotel-quality rooms. Guests will have their own separate floor and can enjoy the peace of a nearly vacant hotel as all of the shelter’s residents must be at work by 9 a.m.

Providing hotel rooms is one of the ways Father Carr’s shelter stays operation-al and it is one of the biggest fundraisers of the year. The shelter is run almost entirely by full-time volunteers.

Military air power gets special look this yearFrom EAA

This year’s AirVenture will be host to a powerful collection of U.S. Air Force air power unlike anything that has been seen in Oshkosh in years past, according to di-rector of flight operations Dennis Dunbar.

“The Air Force Reserve Command flies just about every type of airframe in the U.S. Air Force inventory, and their support as we celebrate their 70th anniversary has been amazing,” Dunbar said.

The Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) will have multiple aircraft on static display and in the air during the show this year. On Boeing Plaza, Oshkosh attend-ees will see aircraft such as a McDonnell Douglas KC-10A Extender and Lockheed C-5M Galaxy from Travis Air Force Base, a Lockheed HC-130N Combat King and two Sikorsky HH-60G Pavehawks from Patrick AFB, and two Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptors from Tyndall AFB.

During a special flying tribute linking the Year of the Tanker with the 70th anni-versary of the AFRC on Saturday, AirVen-ture attendees will see a Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker from Grissom Air Reserve

Base drag a Rockwell B-1B Lancer from Dyess AFB. This pass will be followed by a KC-10A from McGuire AFB dragging two F-22A Raptors from Tyndall AFB.

Following the two jet-powered tankers will be a HC-130N dragging two HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters, all from Patrick AFB. At the conclusion of this parade of tankers, the F-22 Raptors will make a few passes before the B-1 comes back through to begin a three-pass profile. The tankers will also return to make passes in different configurations.

Still on Saturday, the HC-130N and HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopters will work together to conduct a simulated long-range search-and-rescue (SAR) mission, at the conclusion of which the mighty Boeing B-52 Stratofortress will emerge for a series of passes demonstrating the capabilities of the legendary BUFF.

Wednesday evening will be the return of the B-1 Bomber. This three-pass profile was a huge hit last year as vapor condensed over the wings to create an amazing visual effect as the B-1 turned away just under the speed of sound.

The Air National Guard will also sup-

port the year of the tanker this year by hav-ing a KC-135R from Milwaukee on static display with a Lockheed F-16C Fighting Fal-con from Madison. The Milwaukee wing of the state Air National Guard’s KC-135s will also be supporting numerous other passes including a flyover to start the Wednesday night air show, where one will climb far above Wittman Regional Airport to enter a refueling track where it will refuel a B-1B at flight level 200. On Friday, the Milwaukee KC-135 will drag a two-ship of AFRC F-22 Raptors over to start the Friday Salute to Veterans air show. Attendees will also see the Milwaukee KC-135s again on Sunday.

Monday and Tuesday will feature a Fairchild Republic A-10C Warthog out of Selfridge Air National Guard Base with a special paint scheme celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Red Devils 107th Fight-er Squadron. The Bayou Militia, aka Loui-siana Air National Guard, will be sending a McDonnell Douglas F-15C Eagle from the 159th Fighter Wing up for static display.

The U.S. Air Force will also be sending up a flight of two Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning IIs and two Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcons in addition to a Ray-

theon T-1 Jayhawk for static display. This year will mark the return of the

Boeing C-17 Globemaster III Demo Team, who will execute its high-performance takeoffs, minimum radius turns, tactical ap-proaches to short-field landings, and three-point turns, where the aircraft uses its revers-ers to taxi backward, during the air shows on Thursday through Sunday.

The F-16 Viper Demo Team will per-form a modified tactical demonstration followed by a heritage flight. The Air Force Heritage Flight Foundation provides dra-matic displays pairing modern U.S. Air Force tactical aircraft with warbird fighter aircraft from the World War II, Korea, and Vietnam eras.

The U.S. Navy is also getting in on the year of the tanker. Air Test and Evaluation Squadron Nine is sending a trio of Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets and Boeing EA-18G Growlers to Oshkosh this year, where they will simulate a Super Hornet refueling a Growler during the Year of the Tanker show on Saturday. A Super Hornet from Naval Air Station Patuxent River will be on static display showing off the aerial refuel-ing system pod as well.

Davis home was welcome base for decades of guestsBy Dan RohertyOshkosh Herald

Rosemary and Robert Davis never met a pilot or AirVenture visitor they didn’t like, and more than that they formed strong re-lationships with many they took into their home over the decades that the annual air show has been held in Oshkosh.

The couple registered with EAA in the early years of the event here and charged each visitor all of $18 for lodging and breakfast.

Rosemary, 89, recalls the first person they hosted was a man from Florida who came to the event to buy an airplane en-

gine for a plane he was building. He found the engine he wanted and had it crated for delivery back home, and from there started the couple’s bed-and-breakfast accommo-dations for the scores who were to follow.

Visitors included four members of the Tuskegee Airmen and a former Air Force One pilot who recounted working for U.S. presidents.

She said a group from Oklahoma be-came regulars and numbered 14 in their last visit before the Davises stopped host-ing in 2011. Others traveled from across the nation and world to stay at their home at 17th Avenue and Ohio street. They have since moved to Villa Park.

“We had two gentlemen that came in, they were young; one took pictures and the other wrote for another magazine, and they flew from England and came to our house

and they had breakfast,” Rosemary said. “And they wanted to have dinner with us at night.”

The mother of one called to thank the couple for how kind they were for hosting them.

“It just went on and on,” she said of the string of boarders over the years.

“We had just moved, downsized into our home, and so we opened up our base-

ment … with all of the beds in there like a dormitory,” she said.

The pilots who stayed there mostly flew into Fond du Lac and Appleton where the Davises would pick them up.

“We were just like family to all of them, and many of them have passed on now,” she said. “When we heard they died (their friends) sent us obituaries and things.”

They only took in men because they didn’t have cohabitation arrangements, but hosted a woman from the bush country of Australia who was staying downtown and had visited the Grand Opera House where the couple was working as volunteers. She asked if they knew of better accommoda-tions than where she was staying.

“Our guests have left; would you like to stay with us?” Rosemary asked. She agreed and when she realized how close the home was to the airport she took a bicycle one day and returned, saying, “I just got my license” to fly in the United States.

The former Tuskegee military pilots, the first African-American aviators in the U.S. Armed Forces who fought in World War

II, were guests at the Davis home when they came to take part in a reunion of the group.

Rosemary said one of the pilot’s wives later called to thank them for taking them in. She responded, “You don’t need to thank me; it was a pleasure to have them.”

Robert, 93, also served during WWII

in the Army’s Rainbow Division in Austria and Germany. He later took an Honor Flight with his son to Washington, D.C.

Rosemary regrets not being able to host visitors any longer but says she carries many warm memories from the grateful guests.

By Linda DumsHerald contributor

Since she was a little girl, Alison Ross of Neenah dreamed of a career that could take her high.

The 15-year-old imagined working with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) or a similar career in aerospace and aviation.

She has seen the skies are not the lim-it as a participant in the Women Soar, You Soar program offered during AirVenture week.

This is Ross’ second time in the pro-gram. She wants to learn as much as she can through the hands-on activities, work-shops, speakers and, above all, female men-tors who hail right from the aviation and aerospace field.

“It was really fun last year and since I still want to go into aviation and aerospace, I know that that will help,” said Ross.

Women Soar, which began in 2005, is a four-day program open to girls in grades 9-12. During the program, participants ex-plore career options, make discoveries and find new inspirations.

“We strive to engage, inspire and educate young women to pursue their dreams of aviation and beyond,” said Tara Parkhurst, EAA Museum educator.

Dick Knapinski, EAA senior commu-nications adviser, said the program is vital to the future of aviation and aerospace.

“Less than 7 percent of all licensed pilots in the United States are women,” he said. “That’s a number that has to be in-creased. As you look at where the needs are in the coming years, there is an oppor-tunity here for young women to discover things they may have not realized are open to them.”

And what better backdrop than Air-Venture, where participants can entrench themselves in all things aviation and aero-space? Ross enjoyed working with peers and mentors, which fueled her desire for aviation and aerospace.

“It was really cool to meet everyone

that has the same interest as me,” she said. Parkhurst said more than 70 young

women representing 25 states and Canada

will participate this year. “Even though it’s a day camp, we are

bringing girls from throughout the United States,” she said. “It is far-reaching.”

Activities vary each year: learning about drones, a tour of the control tower, and hands-on projects using science, tech-nology, engineering and mathematics, or STEM. Participants also learn about ca-reers available in the field.

The biggest success is the association with female mentors, showing participants that they have a role in aviation and aero-space. This year’s mentors include one of the highest ranking aerobatics competitors, Debby Rihn-Harvey, as well as aviation enthusiasts and educators Tami Ryley and Rochelle Oslick.

“All of them have something different to offer,” said Parkhurst. “The girls can real-ly ask their mentors something specific that drives them.”

Knapinski said Women Soar, with Air-Venture surrounding it, fuels dreams.

“The Women Soar program is there to help young women interested in aviation through inspiration, encouragement and enthusiasm,” he said. “Whatever interest in aviation and even science and technology, there is something here that can connect with them.

“You never know which part of that experience is going to be the one that con-nects. Hopefully we’ll see some of these young women become leaders in the field.”

The 2019 application link found at www.eaa.org will open July 25. For more information, contact Parkhurst at 920-426-5904 or [email protected].

keep the air show running. Volunteers work with the staff and it’s kind of an ecosystem where staff helps volunteers and volunteers help staff. One side couldn’t function prop-erly without the other and that’s what helps us pull off the show each year.”

Volunteer opportunities at EAA are endless and many civic organizations and individuals lend their time and energy to tackle duties as wide-ranging as assisting aircraft on runways, hauling water, direct-ing parking and emptying trash cans.

“There are just so many little areas that have a need for volunteers,” said Sellers, an Appleton resident and commercial bank-er for JPMorgan Chase & Co. “It’s kind of nuts because each year you find out about another volunteer opportunity. If you’re in-terested in aircraft and want to donate your time, there is probably an opportunity for you here. The show is amazing each year and it’s really cool to be a part of it.”

Oshkosh resident Connie Campbell, a nurse and manager at Ascension Mercy Hospital, will be providing medical assis-tance for her 28th EAA event. She is one of up to 150 emergency medical services workers and will help run the medical

buildings on the EAA grounds. Various doc-tors and nurses work each shift, tending to the medical needs of the guests.

“During the week, we usually see between 1,400 and 1,800 peo-ple on our front porch area and about 3,000

people between the front porch and the buildings,” said Campbell. “It’s things like headaches, Band-Aids, belly aches, and anything that needs to be cleaned up.

“In the building, we kind of run a clinic. The buildings were designed to help pilots and families during the air show. Maybe they fell over a tent pole, or maybe they got into poison ivy. Maybe they have a bad cold and their ears are bad and they’re going to have a tough time flying. Maybe it’s a dia-betic who has run into trouble, or someone who needs blood pressure control. You get cuts, lacerations, falls, fractures, eye and ear infections. Maybe someone has abdominal pains or is dehydrated.

“So we try and make them more com-fortable while they are here. Some of these people may have come from a long ways away. We get people from all over the world … from South Africa, Italy, Australia, Bra-zil and Canada. They plan all year for this and we just try and help them out so they can enjoy their stay.”

While most of the injuries and ail-ments that Campbell and the medical staff

treat are fairly routine, some are unusual.“We had a person come in one year

who had literally been hit by a bus,” said Campbell. “I mean, he had actually been hit by a bus, yet he still came to EAA and we did a dressing change on him every day.”

Campbell remembers treating an el-derly woman who kept hitting her shins while getting in and out of planes. Camp-bell brought in one of her children’s soccer shin guards as a possible solution and the woman liked the idea.

“She clapped her hands and was thrilled,” said Campbell. “Not only did she think they would work, but she couldn’t wait to tell her friend who she was having dinner with next week. That friend was Da-vid Beckham. You never know who knows who out there.”

Mark Wrasse, a pilot-captain for Amer-ican Airlines, will be volunteering his ser-vices for the 40th year. Wrasse chairs EAA’s Seaplane Base, which provides a safe harbor for aircraft that land on the water. About 3.8 miles south of EAA headquarters along Lake Winnebago, the base houses up to 100 seaplanes and about 225 volunteers work there during AirVenture, including 15 managers.

“Many of our areas do require train-ing, which we provide,” said Wrasse. “We

have jobs where you are connecting an air-plane to a boat and towing it through a very narrow lane next to several other aircraft. You need to make sure that person is very proficient at that, which is why we have a training program. We have tow boat drivers and that’s a very challenging job too. It’s not until a tow boat driver’s third year that we allow them to go solo on the boat towing

the airplane.“We have dock

workers who can se-cure and unload and fuel the aircraft. That is also a hands-on posi-tion that also involves training because there are quite a few differ-ent scenarios such as different wind condi-

tions and different aircraft that create a tre-mendous amount of variables. And we also have volunteers who work in our camp-ground area, handling garbage control and just keeping the area clean.”

Wrasse has always had a strong con-nection to the Seaplane Base. He is an Osh-kosh native who grew up only a short dis-tance from it.

“My very first airplane ride was in a seaplane at that seaplane base,” Wrasse said.

“I got my interest in aviation right then and there.”

A love of aviation, a generous spirit and an appreciation for the camaraderie built during the week are reasons why EAA vol-unteers donate their time and services. A majority are repeat volunteers with several years of EAA volunteer experience.

“I see a lot of the same volunteers each year,” said Sellers. “It’s kind of a running joke that you have your regular family, your extended family and your EAA fami-ly. They are people you see for a week each year. It’s fun to go to the different campsites and see what’s changed with them. You find out who got a new job, or who retired. A lot of them camp in the same spots every year, so you don’t have to look hard to find them. You just show up and it’s like, ‘Hey, what’s new with you?’ That’s the kind of camara-derie that keeps people coming back each year.”’

Wrasse agrees that camaraderie is key in building a strong volunteer base at EAA. He also sees a lot of familiar faces at the Seaplane Base each year.

“We welcome newcomers just like we welcome back longtime volunteers,” said Wrasse. “But we refer to it as a big family re-union because there’s so many people who have been coming back for so many years.”

From EAA

By 1969, it was apparent that the EAA Fly-In Convention had simply become too large for the Rockford, Ill., facility.

EAA had grown from a home base-ment operation to an office and museum in the Milwaukee suburb of Franklin. The an-nual convention mirrored that growth, at-tracting hundreds of show planes and tens of thousands of visitors.

Sites were studied for a new home. Avi-ation legend Steve Wittman, who had been an EAA member since the association’s founding in 1953, suggested the airport in Oshkosh.

Oshkosh featured acreage surround-ing the airport to handle the annual influx of airplanes, vehicles and tents. There were two lengthy runways (east/west and north/

south) that did not cross, allowing great-er traffic movement. City officials eagerly sought the event and the economic boost it could provide. In late 1969, the EAA board approved the move to Oshkosh.

There was only one problem: No con-vention site or infrastructure existed in Os-hkosh. EAA’s volunteer network was up to the task, however.

Within six months, EAA members had created a home for the fly-in. That volunteer spirit continues as more than 4,000 donate their time and talents to prepare and coor-dinate the grounds and activities.

Through the 1970s and ’80s, the con-vention exploded into national promi-nence. Attendance jumped into six figures each year and the event became one of sport aviation’s top gatherings.

From EAAThe Experimental Aircraft Association

(EAA) is celebrating 35 years of introduc-ing youth to the world of aviation through the EAA Air Academy with a special exhib-it in its Aviation Museum.

The EAA Air Academy is a youth pro-

gram created in 1984 by executive director of resident education Chuck Larson as a way to reach to young people interested in aviation. The Air Academy allows youth to participate in an unmatched aviation expe-rience through hands-on demonstrations, flight simulations and other activities.

The academy is the longest running aviation resident education camp in the United States and MSN Money ranked it as one of the top 10 summer camps “worth the money” and “provides the foundation for a lifelong love of aviation.”

The exhibit will feature stories of past and present graduates, who have gone into careers such as general aviation pilots, the

military, air traffic controllers and dispatch-ers, general aviation pilots and EAA Young Eagles pilots.

It will also highlight what the Air Acad-emy features during its weeklong camps, including mechanical, teambuilding and communication skills essential to aviation.

The museum is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Air Academy history marked at EAA Museum

Smallest twin-engine aircraft to take off from moving vehicleFrom EAA

A Colomban CriCri, the smallest twin-engine manned aircraft in the world, will take off from the top of a moving Ford Explorer as part of the air show.

The CriCri, designed by French engi-neer Michel Colomban in the early 1970s, will be flown by Lionel Adroit of Team Cricri. The other two members of the team, Lucie Chapirot-Sarda and Daniel Pratviel, will be in the vehicle, with Pratviel driving and Chapirot-Sarda in charge of safety and working as the co-driver.

AirVenture 2018 will be Team Cric-ri’s first public performance in the United

States. Custom rails made by Thule are af-fixed to the top of the Ford for the Cri-Cri to sit in as the car gets up to speed so the airplane can take off. Attendees can see this only-in-Oshkosh air show act on Monday, Thursday and Saturday night.

The tiny homebuilt gets its name from Colomban’s daughter’s nickname. The orig-inal plans call for a 12-foot, 10-inch length and 16 foot, 1 inch wingspan. The CriCri was transported from Toulouse, France, via both road and sea transport and has arrived safely ahead of the fly-in.

This will be the third time a CriCri has made an appearance at Oshkosh.

U-2 pilot Power’s son to speak at Masonic LodgeFrancis Gary Powers Jr., author of “Let-

ters from a Soviet Prison: A Son’s Search for the Truth,” will speak July 24 at the Osh-kosh Masonic Lodge.

Powers has been researching, lecturing and teaching about the Cold War, in par-ticular the U-2 spy plane incident of May 1, 1960, in which his father was shot down over the former Soviet Union.

In 2017, Powers published “Letters from a Soviet Prison,” which has his father’s letters to and from his family while incarcer-ated and other correspondence about the shoot-down, imprisonment and events that led to his father’s exchange for a Soviet spy.

The event will benefit the Military Vet-erans Museum & Education Center. Ticket information is available at Eventbright.com.

mercial property tax laws. Council member Matt Mugerauer voted against the measure, saying the city should not need to use tax dollars for lobbying expenses and that those funds could be spent on other activities.

Mugerauer noted that dark store re-form has the support of the majority of the state Legislature as well as the governor.

Council member Steve Herman suc-cessfully proposed amending the resolu-tion to add the words “up to” for the dollar amount based on what other communities are willing to spend.

Council members in support said they hoped other major cities in Wisconsin will participate in the effort as it affects all communities with big-box store such as Menards, Lowe’s, Walmart, Walgreens and Shopko, among others.

“We need to get this loophole fixed,” council member Tom Pech Jr. said. Several council members, including Pech, laid the blame for inaction on the “lack of legisla-tive leadership,” especially toward Robin Vos, who serves as speaker of the Assembly, and encouraged residents to contact him to approve the dark store legislation.

Last year there were two bills before the Legislature to reform the property assess-ment laws that would eliminate dark store refunds but neither came to a vote.

Cummings said the issue also affects Winnebago County and school districts.

“The biggest loser is the schools … the kids,” he said.

Cummings contended it will be the customers of such large retailers that will pay the difference through higher property taxes. He said another option is to reduce the level of municipal services to cover the loss of revenue through refunds.

Representatives for big-box stores ar-

gue they are overcharged in property taxes and have been going to court nationwide to reduce store assessments to that of a vacant building, such as the former J.C. Penney or Kmart locations in Oshkosh.

Small businesses cannot get a similar break, Cummings and Pech said, as the large stores have the legal funding needed to prevail in court.

Police Chief Dean Smith told the coun-cil that officers provided almost 900 service calls last year to big-box stores in response to requests for law enforcement support.

In other action:• The council unanimously recom-

mended approval of plans to renovate the former Veterans of Foreign Wars building and property at 129 W. 17th Ave. into an eight-unit apartment complex with an ad-ditional four duplexes to be constructed later on the property. Although the topic has been the focus of opposition at previ-ous Plan Commission meetings, no one spoke against the housing project at the council meeting.

• Community Development Director Allen Davis said the city is working with Oshkosh Corp. to realign proposed streets at the former municipal golf course site to avoid the need to get a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers permit for the process, which would take about a year, based on potential wetlands restrictions in the area.

• Council member Lori Palmeri re-minded members about National Night Out day Aug. 7, where neighborhood asso-ciations will be sponsoring activities. She said people not living within recognized neighborhood association boundaries can turn their porchlights on in the evening to show support and solidarity for the safety awareness campaign.

• The council met in closed session for a six-month performance review of City Manager Mark Rohloff in response to goals set for him at the beginning of the year.
