Next month, nearly 300 grandparents and grandchildren will descend upon the University of Wisconsin-Green

Bay campus for a two-day learning experi-ence. Known as Grandparents’ University, the popular camp connects children ages 7 to 14 with their grandparent or grandparents and offers classes in topics from ceramics and bookmaking to business and fi nance.

Considered the “grandfather” of Grandparents’ University, the University

‘Mona, we have to do this.’ So we modeled Grandparents’ University similar to what UW-Madison is doing, and added our own nuances.”

The camp is open to all registrants on a fi rst-come, fi rst-serve basis. The instruc-tional time begins on Thursday, July 9 and continues through Friday, July 10.

“That instructional time is really special,” says Christensen. “It’s a full afternoon on

of Wisconsin-Madison’s successful camp served as the catalyst for the development of UWGB’s event.

“It just happened that I had a colleague in our division of outreach and adult access who is a UW-Madison alumna, and she and her grandchild went to Grandparents University in Madison,” explained Mona Christensen, director of camps and conferences in the Division of Outreach and Adult Access at UWGB. “She came back to our unit and said,

Thursday and a full morning on Friday – about three hours each day in the same class. It’s enough time to really get good founda-tional information on the topic, and then there’s usually a fi eld trip or fi nal project or hands-on activity that follows the instruction and completes it.”

Jeanellyn Schwarzenbach, of Green Bay, works at UWGB and says that while she knew about the camp for a long time. She did not focus on it, however, until her daugh-ter, who lives in Illinois, came across the information while looking for a camp for Schwarzenbach’s 11-year-old granddaughter.

“My granddaughter and I attended the fi rst camp two years ago and had a wonder-ful time learning, participating, and eating together,” she explains. “We looked forward to the list of classes coming out the next year, signed up, and again enjoyed the expe-rience. We are signed up again this year and my granddaughter has even thought it would be fun to have her sister, who is two years younger, with us. We are looking forward to it.”

De Pere resident Mauree Childress and

her husband also attend Grandparents’ University. They have two grandchil-dren, Grace and Meghan, who live in the Milwaukee area and come to Green Bay for the camp. Each year, Childress takes a class with one granddaughter while her husband takes a class with the other.

“Grace enjoyed the ceramics class so much that we did it two years in a row,” says Childress. “This year Grace is with Neil and they are taking a drama class and Meghan and I are taking a creative bookmaking class.”

Childress originally signed up in 2013, but

“I was actually in the hospital during that first year. Mona worked with us so I was able to attend one day and another of their grand-mas was there the other day. I am grateful that Mona worked with us so we were able to do attend. It all worked out very well. The girls liked it and wanted to attend again. It will be our third year this year.

“We can spend some one-on-one quality time with the girls,” adds Childress. “Even though I am disabled I can manage at UWGB. We have a great time!”

“It’s a neat program,” furthers Christensen. “They’re getting exposure to the university campus, they’re meeting university faculty, they’re actually walking on the campus and thinking, ‘Yeah, I want to go to college.’ That’s another factor – grandparents are every committed to education. I’ve had grandparents say to me, ‘Oh, the most impor-tant thing to me is that my grandchild goes to college, and what a great opportunity that he got to see this place with me.’ It’s just a really special time.” ✦

Select a representativeWhen writing up a will, it is necessary to

name a spouse, adult child, relative or trusted friend as the executor. This representative is empowered to act on the deceased’s behalf to

While creating a will is sure to stir up emotions, making it a rather unpleasant task, it’s one of the

greatest gifts you can give your loved ones after you’re gone. Your final wishes are clearly spelled out, eliminating doubt and unnecessary hassle.

A will is the cornerstone of estate planning — a document that outlines how to distribute assets upon death. Without a will, the state steps in to determine how an estate is settled.

“A will is a formalized set of instructions that expresses your wishes to your family members, the court system, banks and finan-cial institutions, and anyone else that needs to know what you want to happen when you are gone. It gives you a chance to have the last say,” adds Jim Lewis, attorney at Lewis & Van Sickle, LLC in Green Bay.

wrap up their affairs. Jeff Martinson, owner of Martinson Law

Offices in Green Bay, recommends picking a responsible representative. He says, “They are going to file the will with the court, pay the bills and distribute the assets according to the will.”

Choose beneficiariesWhen it comes to selecting beneficiaries,

most think of loved ones — family members and very close friends.

Lewis explains he encourages clients to think about these individuals before their first meeting. He says, “I’m quick to point out to anyone that meets with me that it is their money. They can do anything they want to. Anything they give to a family member is a gift and it has to be what they want to do.”

He suggests thinking about the beneficia-ry’s health and financial status.

With social media now an integral part of daily life, there is more concern about an individual’s online content after he or she passes away. For those active online, it’s important to consider how your identity should be handled. A social media will is designed to state these wishes. In situations where there is value tied to the social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, it is especially important to appoint an online executor.“In the absence of a written request of those rights they would pass to the person that is the residual beneficiary,” says Lewis.To help write a social media will, review the privacy policies and terms of conditions of each site, state how profiles should be handled upon death and give the designated social media executor a list of online profiles along with usernames and passwords.Remember to consult with a legal or financial advisor for specific information that applies to your individual situation.

Creating a Social Media Will

People can save themselves a lot of heartache and expense having these set up ahead of time.

– Jeff Martinson, attorney

Allocate assetsA will can do more than distribute money.

There are household, personal and sentimen-tal items to consider.

“I tell my clients to ask their children what they might want — what items have senti-mental meaning to them—and you can deal with that while you are alive instead of your adult children having hard feelings about the material items after you are gone,” says Martinson. “Attach a memorandum to the will, sign and date that document.”

Consider additional documents. In addi-tion to the will, Martinson and Lewis suggest completing other essential estate documents, including a healthcare power of attorney and

financial power of attorney. These allow a loved one to take over healthcare matters or financial affairs if the policyholder becomes incapacitated.

“People can save themselves a lot of heart-ache and expense having these set up ahead of time,” adds Martinson.

Other documents worth exploring with an attorney include a testamentary trust and revocable living trust. Martinson reminds clients to coordinate all beneficiary designa-tions with what is indicated in the will.

Make updatesSome individuals never update their will,

while others need to make frequent changes. Martinson recommends revisiting a will at times of major life change.

“Most find they need to make updates every three, five or seven years, although some can get by with the same will for 20 years,” adds Lewis. “It is a very individual decision, but I do recommend people look at the will every few years to make sure who they named are still good choices. People get divorced, die or move away — changes are necessary.” ✦

Whether you’re looking for an alternative to the car radio, something to listen to during a

mundane activity, or simply a way to enjoy your favorite songs, then you’ll find that online music streaming has expanded this realm of possibilities.

With the constantly evolving technology surrounding our smartphones, tablets, and computers, the many options for online music streaming can be overwhelming. But once you find the service that’s right for you, the bene-fits of hearing your old favorites and discover-ing new tunes will be well worth it.

“For a customer using an iPhone, I generally recommend Apple’s own streaming service, iTunes radio,” says Eric Schwanke, retail computer assistant manager at Camera Corner Connecting Point in Green Bay. “It’s great for beginners and it’s already built into your Apple device. They have featured stations which are a good place to start, plus they have suggested stations tailored to your taste, much like a personalized radio.”

Another similar and widely used stream-ing service, Pandora Radio will also pick up on your musical preferences with its ‘yay or nay’ system - you have the option to give each song played a thumbs up or thumbs down. This tailors your stations, playing more of what you want while weeding out the songs that aren’t your style. Pandora is available to download in your app store for free, or at $36 you can listen advertisement-free.

“Pandora and iTunes radio are great options if you aren’t quite sure what you want to listen to,” says Schwanke. “If you create a Beatles station, for example, but you don’t have a list of specific Beatles songs you want to listen to, these services will cater your listening to the genre. It’s a lot like turning on the radio, which is a familiar and comforting

method for some.”Another helpful tip? Write down your user-

name and password once you create an account to stream music, explains A.J. Billingsley, lead technician and network specialist at Wisconsin Computer Solutions in Kaukauna.

“If you use the Pandora app on your smart-phone, you’ll want to use the same account when logging into Pandora on your home computer or tablet,” says Billingsley. “This way you can access the stations you’ve already created and personalized.”

Sometimes, just navigating your device is the first challenge in listening to music online. But if you’re still having trouble listening with ease, you might try another streaming service.

“I recommend having an expert walk you through the process and writing down the

steps on paper for future reference,” says Billingsley. “Our smartphones can do a lot these days and using a phone or tablet is different from the way you use your at-home computer. If it isn’t making your life easier, then we just haven’t found the right platform for you yet.”

You may find Pandora isn’t as easy to navi-gate as you’d hoped and in that case Billingsley suggests trying the app Tune In, which gives you access to millions of radio networks and podcasts.

If you do have a playlist of specific songs in mind, maybe for a special event or you’d like to play your favorite holiday songs for a party, then Spotify is the way to go, according to Schwanke.

“If you want to listen to Tony Bennett’s second album, for example, then Spotify is the way to go. It’s not made for hands-free listen-ing though. You have to sit down and create your playlist, but it will play in sequence while you’re away from your device. Some people find the choices complicate things a bit.”

You can download Spotify to any of your devices and you’ll have access to over 20

million songs. Another feature of Spotify is sharing - you can see what your friends are listening to and share what you’re enjoy-ing on Spotify via Facebook. Spotify is free with advertisements, or can be played without interruption for $4.99-$9.99 per month.

One of the top reasons we download online music streaming services is to

listen to our favorites in the car. Schwanke explains the two easiest ways to make this

happen. “Most newer cars have Bluetooth, a wireless

technology to exchange data, and all you need to do to use Pandora or iTunes Radio in the car is pair your smart phone with the Bluetooth

continued on page 9


one time, and every time you get in the car, your app will play.”

If your car doesn’t have Bluetooth, all you need is to make a simple auxiliary cable purchase.

“You can plug an auxiliary cable into the headphone jack on your phone or tablet and then plug the other end into the auxiliary port in your car, which is on your stereo,” says Schwanke. “This will link your device to the speakers in your car.”

There is one more option for streamed music in your car- a wireless speaker with a long battery life. Schwanke recommends the Braven speaker, which is sold at Camera Corner Connecting Point in Green Bay.

If you decide to make a visit to Camera Corner Connecting Point for an auxiliary cable or wireless speaker, be sure to take advantage of their help desk where you can sit down with an expert and address all your music stream-ing questions in a fifteen minute private lesson.

Since our phones, computers, radios, and cameras have all been meshed onto one plat-form of technology in the recent years, learn-

ing to operate these multifaceted devices can be intimidating. From understanding how to use a touch screen to downloading apps, help is available.

Recent advances provide help to the hearing impairedMEGHAN DIEMEL

For the hearing impaired, recent advancements in treatment are provid-ing hope. In the instance of people

with tinnitus — a symptom that can sound like humming, buzzing, ringing, whistling or the ocean waves — professionals at Prevea Health in Green Bay are working to treat all symptoms associated with it. In the past, the majority of the focus was put on treating only the hearing loss associated with tinnitus.

“Tinnitus can also cause stress, frustration, a lack of sleep and other symptoms,” explains Kelly Gitter, M. Ed., CCC-A, and Audiologist for Prevea Health. “Prevea Audiology is taking a coordinated-care approach to treating those who suffer from tinnitus, by working with a team of high-quality medi-cal professionals in a variety of specialties such as Behavioral Care, ENT (Ear, Nose

and Throat), Family Medicine, Neurology, Spine Care and/or Sleep and Respiratory. So basically, we’re reaching out to other medi-cal experts within Prevea who specialize in stress, lack of sleep, etc. to ask, ‘What can we do for this patient?’”

When tinnitus has a known cause, treat-ing the condition can reduce and sometimes eliminate the tinnitus, she furthers. When there is no cure for the tinnitus, there are many options available to teach a patient to manage it.

“Some patients will benefi t from Sound Therapy,” explains Gitter. “This involves using a sound source in the room either worn by the patient at ear level or on a table top to distract one from focusing on the tinnitus. This could be as simple as music or TV in the background. Sound pillows, fans or tabletop

sound-generating devices can help individu-als fall asleep. There are free apps that can be downloaded into smartphones that produce pleasant sounds to draw one’s attention away from the tinnitus.”

Dr. Janet Thibert, of Advanced Hearing Solutions in Green Bay, says she’s seen more hearing aids that have been developed in partnership with iPhone technology as well, from companies like Starkey and ReSound.

“A person who has a smartphone is able to install the apps on their phone and it gives them signifi cantly more fl exibility in making their own personal adjustments of their hear-ing aids, based on whatever environment that they’re in,” she says. “It also enables the person to pair or link their phone directly to their hearing aids so that they are able to hear cellphone conversations that you would

hope in the aftermath of hearing loss


normally not hear on a cellphone directly through the hearing aids wirelessly.”

Dr. Thibert says there are also mini-microphone accessories available now, and some people will use them like a directional microphone and link it to their television to send the audio from the TV right to their hearing aids.

“Or, they use it in a noisy envi-ronment and have the person that they’re dining with, for example, wear the microphone so that they are able to hear them above the noise around them,” she furthers. “There are a lot of accessories that are avail-able that are becoming more common or standard with a lot of companies.”

As companies work on the compatibility from one elec-tronic device to the other through Bluetooth, Dr. Thibert says they’re also making

improvements on the sizes of hearing aids and the antennas for Bluetooth.

“Now the antennas are being placed completely in the canal hearing aids so that big size issue has been eliminated,” she explains. “That’s really nice for people, especially someone who wants to have a more discrete option available but still wants to link to their phone and have that connec-tion. We weren’t able to offer that in the past unless someone had a larger, in-the-ear hearing aid or behind-the-ear hearing aid. That’s no longer the case at all, so that’s definitely an improvement.”

Dr. Thibert says that another advantage of these advancements, as is the case with the smartphone apps, is their ease of use.

“They’re very, very simple and user friendly so that’s nice as well,” she says. “There is nothing complicated about them.” ✦

Senior Spotlight: Cora Van DonselJENNIFER HOGELAND | PRESSGAZETTE FILE PHOTOS

In 1957, Cora Van Donsel answered a job posting in the newspaper for Hansen’s, now known as Hansen’s Dairy & Deli.

Little did the now 91-year-old know she’d spend more than 50 years taking orders and preparing food for the deli’s loyal and occa-sional patrons.

Nora Hansen, one of Hansen’s fi rst owners, interviewed and hired Van Donsel. Van Donsel began working nights — a schedule that allowed her to work while her husband was home with their daughter.

In the early years, Van Donsel worked in the store alone. After being robbed several times, she was relieved when Hansen’s began scheduling two employees for each shift.

“I was trained how things were to be done. I passed that knowledge down to those that came in after me,” says Van Donsel.

Hansen’s began selling milk and ice cream.

They added a counter with cold meats and cheeses. When Hansen’s moved to its current location, 620 Gray Street, Green Bay, Van Donsel explains the extra space allowed them to make sandwiches and pizza.

She adjusted as the store evolved, both in terms of products offered and processes. As one would expect, the cash register changed the most over time.

“In the beginning we pushed the price of each item — it was an old cash register — and pushed total. We had to count back the change, which was hard for some young people. Now everything is in the register, you just have to know the right button,” she adds.

Van Donsel began working during the day when her daughter was old enough to care for herself. Eventually, her daughter applied for a job at Hansen’s and Van Donsel trained her to be manager. After Van Donsel’s

husband passed away, she took a short retirement. When she was ready to work again, her daughter welcomed her back.

“Now she’s my boss, and a good one,” says Van Donsel. “My daughter has been there nearly 30 years. All of her kids worked there at one time or another when they were going to school.”

Her grandson is currently the assis-tant manager, so the three genera-tions are working together.

Today, Van Donsel works at Hansen’s two days a week, usually from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. She handles tasks similar to those when she was hired decades ago, cutting and

preparing food, taking orders and serving customers.

While working with her family is one of the most rewarding parts of her job, Van Donsel explains serving customers has helped bring her out of her shell.

“I’m not the type of person that gets out and makes friends quickly,” she

says. “They used to call me bashful in school, so this job has been great

for me. I’ve been able to meet and get to know so many people.”

The work is steady and each day promises to be a little different than the last.

“If I’m not waiting on a customer or making sand-wiches, there is something else that needs to be done,” adds Van Donsel.She reveals her greatest chal-

lenge is getting everything done. Fortunately, there is always the next shift to take over.

“I enjoy working at Hansen’s,” says Van Donsel. “I’ll keep work-

ing as long as I can handle it. It’s good for me to get out of the house and do something.”

When not at Hansen’s, Van Donsel spends her days crocheting, caring for her fl owers or taking in local shows and musicals. ✦
