Kwanzaa celebration is Dec. 1 at UW-Green Bay

GREEN BAY -- Drumming, song, dance, crafts and food will be featured at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Kwanzaa celebration from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1 in the Phoenix Rooms of University Union on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

Featured guest performers include the Lawrence University African drumming ensemble and the Green Bay African-American Community Choir.

Kwanzaa is an African-American celebration based on the tradition of the African harvest festival.

Lawrence University director of percussion studies Dane Maxim Richeson directs the drumming ensemble, Kinkaviwo (Children of Kinka). The group performs three styles of music-Kinka, Gahu and Adzogbo-that Richeson learned from master drummer Godwin Agbeli while living and studying in Ghana. Richeson also has lived in Cuba, where he studied with an Afro-Cuban drummer, and in Brazil, where he studied drumming traditions of the state of Bahia.

The Green Bay African-American Community Choir is directed by Dennis Massey. The non-denominational group, founded to preserve the musical traditions of the African diaspora, is in its sixth season. Yarvelle Draper-King is the group's coordinator.

The new African and African-American dance group, organized in September on the UW-Green Bay campus, will make its public performing debut. Staff members Juliet Cole and Jane Lynch are the instructors for the project funded through a grant from the UW System Institute on Race and Ethnicity.

Kwanzaa also will feature African-American foods and children's craft activities.

The UW-Green Bay Office of Student Life sponsors the event. The number for information is (920) 465-2200, extension 43.

GREEN BAY -- Ronald C. Opicka, Casco, vice president and CEO of East Shore Industries, Inc., Algoma, will receive the 2001 Distinguished Alumni Award given by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Alumni Association.

Opicka was a member of the University's first graduating class in May 1970. His studies focused on the discipline of mathematics. Opicka spent his freshman and sophomore years at the former two-year UW Center in Green Bay and continued his studies when the institution became a four-year university in 1968.

Opicka was the founding CEO of the nonprofit rehabilitation facility, formerly known as the Kewaunee County Development Center, in 1973. The organization serves 130 adults with disabilities, providing vocational opportunities, day services and job coaching and placement. The organization that began with no assets today has over $2 million in assets and no debt. Opicka says the rehabilitation facility was the first organization of its type in Wisconsin to be awarded a state use contract. The products from its wet mop manufacturing business continue to be widely used in Wisconsin state agencies and by more than 450 customers across the country. A recently completed endowment fund drive for East Shore Industries, Inc. raised over $450,000 and a special projects fund drive netted more than $385,000.

Prior to becoming CEO of the new Kewaunee County facility — and its sole employee for the first couple of months — Opicka spent two years with the Community Service Center, later BARC Industries, in Green Bay.

He is a member of the Board of Directors of Rehabilitation for Wisconsin and served two years as its president.

A native of Kewaunee County, Opicka is secretary of the Wind Generator Moratorium Committee for the Town of Lincoln. He served eight years as town clerk and is a former director of Community State Bank, then F&M Bank, in Algoma.

The Alumni Association award recognizes UW-Green Bay graduates who have distinguished themselves in their fields and who are involved in activities that make meaningful contributions. Opicka will receive the award at an event in February 2002.

GREEN BAY -- Jeanine M. Mead, Green Bay, and Nicholas Bandoch, Wausau, are recipients of scholarships honoring two founding faculty members at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.

Mead, a returning student who worked and raised a family before setting out to earn a college degree, received a Coryl Crandall Memorial Scholarship. She was cited for her outstanding academic record and service in community civic and charitable organizations. Mead is completing majors in Humanistic Studies and History.

Bandoch, a junior, is majoring in English and completing minors in Secondary Education and Human Development. He received a Crandall Scholarship and the Thomas E. Daniels Memorial Scholarship. The selection committee noted his high grade point average and strong letters of support from faculty.

Crandall and Daniels both joined the faculty in 1968, the University's first year as a four-year institution, and both taught in the Humanistic Studies and Literature programs. Crandall died in 1978 and Daniels in 1980.

GREEN BAY - A team of educators and social service providers is seeking the community's help to learn more about the needs of grandparents and others who are raising relatives' children.

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's Social Work Professional Program, UW Extension and service agencies in Brown County have formed an advisory team to support the project.

A major component of the project is a community survey of the needs of grandparents and others who are raising relatives' children.

Anyone raising the child of a relative in Brown County is asked to act now. To obtain a survey and community resource guide, call the Aging Resource Center of Brown County at (920) 448-4314. Volunteers are asked to complete and return the surveys by Dec. 15.

A self-addressed, postage-paid envelope will be provided. All the information is confidential. No names will be used.

Research coordinator Linda Cates, who also is a grandmother raising her granddaughter, said she wants others in similar situations to know how important it is to be heard.

"The community must know how things are for us in raising these children — then it will have a chance to respond," Cates said.

Survey results will provide information to the advisory team on what services caregivers use, if they experience problems with access to services, what they need to support them and how they cope with challenges they face.

The project advisory team includes representatives from the Brown County UW Extension, the Aging Resource Center of Brown County, Brown County Kinship Care and Birth-to-Three programs, Oneida Nation Social Services, Green Bay Area Public Schools, UW-Green Bay Social Work Professional Program, and UW Extension.

Seniors in UW-Green Bay's Bachelor's of Social Work program are assisting in the study design, data entry and analysis as part of their learning and contribution to the project. Seniors in the Social Work program participate annually in a community research project. The project is considered a capstone of their academic experience.

GREEN BAY - University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard announced today that Kenneth R. Bothof has been named the University's director of intercollegiate athletics.

Bothof, currently associate athletic director-external operations at Saint Louis University, will begin his duties at UW-Green Bay on Jan. 1.

Shepard will introduce Bothof to the Green Bay area news media, UW-Green Bay athletics boosters, and campus and community representatives Thursday, Nov. 15. The event will take place at 1:30 p.m. at the Phoenix Sports Center on the UW-Green Bay campus.

Shepard said Bothof will bring a new vision and a strong background to the UW-Green Bay athletics program.

"Ken Bothof has extensive experience in Division I athletics administration," Shepard said. "We already have a great staff in place in athletics. Ken's leadership will energize our dedicated staff and, together, they will bring Phoenix athletics to a new level of achievement."

Bothof said he is eager to begin his new job and to meet friends and supporters on campus and in the community. "I'm excited to have the opportunity to work with Chancellor Shepard," he said. "The decision was very easy for me because of his commitment."

Bothof also said he is looking forward to working with University staff and coaches and community supporters to build an athletics program that will make student-athletes, alumni and the community proud.

Bothof, 44, started his career in athletics administration in 1987 as assistant athletic director at San Jose State University. He later worked his way up through the administrative ranks at Idaho State University and Saint Louis University.

He has experience in fund-raising, development, and radio and TV contract negotiations. A former student-athlete, he played collegiate baseball and basketball.

Bothof has a bachelor's degree in education from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa. He also completed all course work toward a master's degree in athletic administration at San Jose State.

A native of Slayton, Minn., Bothof has a son, Tyson, 19, and a daughter, Kendra, 12.

The selection of Bothof concludes a search process that began after Dennis "Otis" Chambers stepped down as athletics director Aug. 30.

Shepard thanked the athletics director search and screen committee, chaired by Prof. Donna Ritch, and interview committees of athletics department, campus and community representatives for their assistance in the search.

The new athletics director was chosen from a field of about 40 candidates. Four finalists interviewed for the position.

GREEN BAY - The president of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Student Government Association has formed a committee to study alternatives for addressing student, faculty and staff child-care needs.

Joanelle Jackson, SGA president, appointed the 11-member committee to pursue access to "affordable, high-quality child care that must accommodate part-time flexibility and have a child development focus."

The action is in keeping with steps recommended in the campus 2001 Report on Equality for Women.

Student members of the child-care committee are Samantha Rodriguez, Sarah Butler, Alexis Meyer, Jennifer Nelson and Kristina Robinson. Faculty and staff members are Kim Nielsen, assistant professor of social change and development; Suzette Pfeifer, director of major gifts; Patricia Ragan, assistant professor of education; Melissa Jackson, legal counsel; Charles Wiseman, controller; and Anne Buttke, director of the University Union.

Rodriguez and Nielsen were appointed committee co-chairs. Deborah Furlong, UW-Green Bay director of institutional research, will serve as staff to the committee.

The committee's charge was developed in collaboration with Interim Provost Carol Pollis and Sue Keihn, associate provost for student services and dean of students.

Pollis said child care is a high-priority issue for the UW-Green Bay campus. "The study committee will play a critical role in helping us decide how we can make high-quality child care available to students and employees," she said.

The committee will be asked to collect and analyze information on projected child-care needs of students and employees on campus. The committee will present information on options to address the identified needs, including an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of each option and financial and facility implications.

The study committee also will assess how well each option could meet campus needs.

Options could include partnerships with profit or nonprofit vendors who would provide care in existing community facilities, a campus child-care facility operated by the University or a campus facility operated by an outside vendor.

According to Jackson, the committee's final report should present a detailed assessment of child-care needs and discussion of feasible and cost-effective alternatives. A report is expected by May 1, 2002.

UW-Green Bay will work with the UW System and other UW campuses on issues related to child care, Jackson said.

GREEN BAY - New agreements between the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College will help break through barriers to transferring credits between the two schools.

The agreements for credit transfers from two NWTC programs — Paralegal and Supervisory Management — to UW-Green Bay's Interdisciplinary Studies major will provide ways to complement a technically oriented education with a liberal arts education. '

The articulation agreements will allow students to apply credits from two-year associate degree programs at NWTC toward a bachelor's degree at UW-Green Bay.

UW-Green Bay Chancellor Bruce Shepard and NWTC President H. Jeffrey Rafn signed the agreements today. Also signing the agreements were UW-Green Bay Interim Provost Carol Pollis; Lori Weyers, NWTC vice president for learning; Dorothy Igl Stepien, director of UW-Green Bay's Extended Degree program; and Jan Campbell, NWTC dean of business and marketing.

Shepard and Rafn said the agreements will help the two institutions expand their relationship for the benefit of students and the community.

"We share a commitment to partnership and collaboration," Shepard said. "In this day and age, that's how you get things done."

The new credit arrangement will appeal primarily to students who already are working full time and are continuing their education. Officials estimate that about 20 students will participate in the new program in the first year.

The agreements respond to needs of the business community for flexible programming. They also are aimed at meeting the lifelong learning needs of employees at a time of economic change.

NWTC's Supervisory Management program is designed to attract people who are involved in or preparing for supervisory or leadership roles in an organization.

The Paralegal program prepares students for employment as paralegals or legal assistants. The credit-transfer program creates opportunities for paralegal students who also may be interested in attending law school.

Students covered by the agreements must meet requirements for admission to the UW-Green Bay Extended Degree program, a flexible program designed for returning adult students who cannot attend traditional daytime classes.

The agreements expand upon previous credit-transfer agreements in Police Science, Corrections Science and Health Care Business Services programs.

The articulation agreements are consistent with the charge of the 2000 Wisconsin Economic Summit to address the needs of the work force through collaboration and creation of a more seamless educational system.

The need to provide a skilled work force is expected to be a major theme of Wisconsin Economic Summit II, which will be held Nov. 26-27 at the Midwest Express Center in Milwaukee.

For more information on the credit-transfer arrangement, contact the UW-Green Bay Extended Degree Program at 465-2423 or 1-800-621-2313. At NWTC, contact the Business and Marketing Division at 498-5435.

GREEN BAY -- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay production Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9-10 and Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 15-17 is the Wisconsin premiere of "Aloha, Say the Pretty Girls" by playwright Naomi Iizuka. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. in University Theater located in Theater Hall on the campus at 2420 Nicolet Dr.

Iizuka is a "hot, young playwright" in American theater, says director and UW-Green Bay faculty member Laura Riddle. Riddle first saw "Aloha..." in 1999 when it premiered at the Actor's Theatre of Louisville Humana Festival of New American Plays where Iizuka received the Whiting Writer's Award. Iizuka also has been awarded a Jerome Playwriting Fellowship and a Theater Communications Group National Theater Artist Grant.

"An off-beat comedy" is Riddle's characterization of the play. "It has light moments, but also deals with real issues," she says. Riddle describes it as a woman's "coming of age" tale and a story about the sense of rootlessness in contemporary society.

The characters are literally "rootless." All of them begin the play in New York, move across the country and end the play in Alaska or Hawaii. Roots are a recurring theme. At one point, the main character, Vivian, opens a plant shop.

Sunam Ellis, Appleton, portrays Vivian. Ellis was Viola in "Twelfth Night" and "Boo" in "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" last season. Caroline Quinn, Amherst, is her best friend Myrna. Quinn made her UW-Green Bay stage debut in last spring's "Twelfth Night." Other characters in the play include Vivian's brother and son, and half a dozen friends and acquaintances that move into and out of her life.

Scenic design is by Jeffrey Entwistle, costume design is by Kaoime Malloy, and lighting design and technical direction are by R. Michael Ingraham. All are members of the UW-Green Bay faculty.

Students fulfill the roles of stage manager, assistant stage manager and sound designer. Those responsibilities are carried out by Briana Fahey, Marshfield; Jana Lerlie, Oshkosh; and Andrew Akins, Sussex.

The production is an American College Theater Festival (ACTF) participating entry, meaning that it is eligible for nomination to ACTF regional competition held in January 2002. Nominations are made by independent judges. Some productions at regional competitions are invited to perform at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door for adults and $10 in advance and $12 at the door for students and seniors. The numbers for tickets are (920) 465-2217 or 1-800-328-8587.
