Minocqua, Woodruff and Arbor Vitae have been delighting vacationers longer than you might thinkBy Vesna Vuynovich Kovach In Minocqua-Woodruff-Arbor Vitae Area Visitor Guide, 2002. Into a lake once called Kawaguesaga, a fist of land reached southward, knuckles nearly brushing the opposite shore. Norway pines and white pines—80 to 100 feet tall, three to five feet across their trunks—towered over the land for miles around. The wigwams of a Chippewa village gathered near the west shore of this odd ... more »

By Vesna Vuynovich KovachIn Minocqua-Woodruff-Arbor Vitae Area Visitor Guide, 2002 Why is a country doctor who passed away nearly half a century ago the hero of Woodruff? You’ll understand when you see the video at the Dr. Kate Museum. Kate Pelham Newcomb, M.D. (1885-1956), affectionately known as Dr. Kate., was the daughter of Thomas Pelham, president of Gilette Razor Company. Against his wishes, she attended the University of Buffalo Medical School, earning her degree in 1917.

In Racine County Visitor Guide, 2001 What original Racine creation is tender, feather-light flaky, and totally scrumptious? It’s kringle, Racine’s signature ethnic dish--a local treasure par excellence. The kringle style of Danish pastry--an oval ring, generously filled and iced--was developed by Danish-American bakers in Racine. Like croissant, its culinary cousin, traditional Danish pastry is made by repeatedly rolling out a piece of dough, coating it with butter, folding it, and then ... more »

How about a bobbing gobbler this Thanksgiving?By Vesna Vuynovich Kovach In Madison Magazone, November 2000 Column: Table Talk When I first heard about deep-fried whole turkey, it sounded like a joke. Outrageous. You’d need an enormous pot! You’d need gallons of oil! Really hot oil--it would be dangerous! But, I was told, I’d never eat a juicier, more perfectly cooked turkey, and the skin would be out-of-this-world crispy good. So I had to... more » Saturday, July 1

Dreamy when it's steamyBy Vesna Vuynovich Kovach In M, the magazine of Isthmus Newspaper, Summer 2000 Local. Seasonal. It's a great approach to buying fruits and veggies, so why quaff the same corporate brew year round? This is Wisconsin. Take advantage. In the nineteenth century, beers varying with the seasons and made with locally grown hops and grains were on tap in virtually every town and hamlet in Wisconsin. The state boasted over ... more » Thursday, June 1
