Manitowoc to host two Milwaukee PBS events

Manitowoc will host two Milwaukee PBS events in March.

The first will be a free Preview Party Tour stop for the "Around the Corner with John McGivern" show March 6 at Capitol Civic Centre. Doors open at 5 p.m. with the program starting at 6 p.m. 

John McGivern, John Gurda and the rest of the "Around the Corner" crew will be on hand for questions and to meet viewers, and visit the friends they made while filming a Manitowoc episode that airs March 8. That episode will be screened during the March 6 Capitol Civic Centre visit.

The show airs at 7 p.m. on Thursdays on Milwaukee PBS 10 and Wisconsin Public Television channel 38.

Capitol Civic Centre is at 913 S. Eighth St., Manitowoc.

Milwaukee PBS returns to Manitowoc March 27 for the next installment of "Next Avenue Community Conversations." Designed to provide topics of interest to baby boomers and beyond, "Next Avenue" hosts several workshops a year that are then broadcast on Milwaukee PBS.

The Manitowoc Community Conversation will focus on the topic of loneliness over the age of 50. People older than 50 are more prone to feelings of loneliness and loss than any other age group. Loneliness among this age group is not only unpleasant, it could be hazardous to their health. Experts will provide facts on isolation and tips on how to engage with others through volunteerism, continuing education, friend-making and more.

Doors to the "Next Avenue Community Conversations" event in Manitowoc will open at 5 p.m. at the Wisconsin Maritime Museum, 75 Maritime Drive, Manitowoc. The program starts at 6 p.m. Admission is free, although seating is first come, first served and reservations are recommended. For more details or to reserve a seat, visit MilwaukeePBS.org/events or call 414-297-7514.

March 10 workshop to detail how to support migrating birds, pollinators

Learn how to enhance your property to support migrating birds and pollinators at a free workshop from 1 to 3 p.m. March 10 at the J.E. Hamilton Community House, 1710 Park St., Two Rivers.

“Enhancing Habitat for Birds, Bees and Butterflies” will feature presenters Jim Kettler from the Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership, Jim Knickelbine from Woodland Dunes Nature Center and Preserve, and Bryan Lenz of Bird City Wisconsin.

Kettler said: “We’ll talk about projects like Restore the Shore, which involves replacing invasive species with native ones in order to improve habitat and food sources for wildlife, especially birds. Anyone can participate. Our intent is to provide help and freely share information on improving habitat along the Lake Michigan shore and elsewhere.”

Restore the Shore is a cooperative venture anchored by Woodland Dunes, Lakeshore Natural Resource Partnership, and the Lakeshore Invasive Species Management Area.

“Enhancing Habitat for Birds, Bees and Butterflies” is co-sponsored by LNRP, Woodland Dunes Nature Center and Preserve, Bird City Wisconsin, Friends of the Manitowoc River Watershed, and Friends of the Twin Rivers Watershed.

Pre-register by March 8 by calling Woodland Dunes at 920-793-4007 or emailing Jessicaj@woodlanddunes.org.

Tractor and Farm Safety Camp planned.

Tractor and Farm Safety camps set for April

Does your son or daughter work on a farm during the summer? Do you hire youth to work for you during the year? Do these young people have adequate safety training? Accidents cause more deaths to individuals between the ages of 15 and 24 than all other causes combined. To help reduce accidents, two Tractor and Farm Safety camps are being coordinated by Manitowoc County UW-Extension.

The camps will be at Camp TaPaWingo and are scheduled for April 6-8 and April 27-29. 

Camp TaPaWingo is at 915 W. TaPaWingo Road, Mishicot. Cost for the camps are $195 and include lodging, meals, training materials and 24 hours of instruction.

The camp will focus on the safety aspects of operating farm equipment and daily farm tasks. To complete the course, youth must attend the entire weekend from Friday evening, 5 p.m., until Sunday, 3:30 p.m., and pass a written and a driving exam. Certificates will be issued by the Manitowoc County UW-Extension office following successful completion of course. 

For more details and/or to obtain a registration brochure, visit www.manitowoc.uwex.edu or call 920-683-4169 or email wendiholschbach@co.manitowoc.wi.us
