To begin this hour, we check in on a conversation had on Maino & the Mayor this week. Cari Josephson from the Walk To End Alzheimer’s brings a special guest with her: former Wisconsin Governor Marty Schreiber. Governor Schreiber has recently penned a book called My Two Elaines about his story of caregiving for his wife, Elaine. H e writes about having to watch his beloved wife gradually transform from the woman who had gracefully entertained in the Executive Residence to one who sometimes no longer recognized him as her husband. Net proceeds from the sales of My Two Elaines will be used to promote Alzheimer’s caregiver support programs.

After that, on the John and Gordy Show, the guys chat with Pam Jahnke from the Midwest Farm Report about some stories on her radar this week, including big changes coming to milk processing for cheese, and a new study out analyzing just how rural Wisconsin is these days.

Next, the Dom Salvia Show – with Matt Rothschild as cohost – talks with Julie Bomar, executive director of Wisconsin Farmers Union, about the devastating impact of President Trump’s service cuts on Wisconsin farmers and food insecure populations. The programs cut in Wisconsin also linked farmers directly to schools, providing high quality nutritious food for students.

Closing out the week, UpNorthNews’ Christina Lorey joins Nite Lite with Pete Schwaba! Christina and Pete talk about the great work that UpNorthNews does, the best frozen pizzas in Wisconsin, and some inventions you might not know were from Wisconsin.
