Let’s Talk Summer Safety
This week’s issue is all about summer safety.
The cover story comes from Melissa Kaye. She interviews the parents of a young man who died from an allergic reaction. Now they are working to require all first responders to carry epi-pens.
We have stories on sports and summer safety, avoiding burns, what to do when the bugs bite, how to take cover in a storm, the music of Cody James. And of course our regular features of Amanda Nimmer’s commentary and Pete Schwaba’s Classic Cinema Pick of the Week.

An Important Hour of Radio
Dennis Peters remains in the co-host chair while Jim continues his vacation. Mark Husen from Bellin Sports Medicine joins to help Dennis make a very important announcement: Dennis has been diagnosed with stage four prostate cancer. Devastating news for Dennis and his family and friends (radio friends included). However, the reason he wanted to do the special segment is to make the point that you should take care of yourself, advocate for yourself, and not disregard signs of illness. We thank Dennis for allowing us to be the venue for making this announcement. The meaningful hour continues when 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. He 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.
