Montrose Elementary receives grant for 'recess renovation'
Montrose Elementary School students jumped rope, played hopscotch and participated in games of foursquare recently on their newly painted blacktop during recess. But now, recess for Montrose students is a bit different. With the help of a grant from Capital One, Montrose was able to launch "Organized Recess," a time of day where students can participate in cooperative games that double as "teachable moments" in the areas of social skills and good citizenship.
"We have done some research and gathered that organized recess decreases discipline incidents," said Montrose Principal Dana Baldacci. "So we decided this year we'd do several days a week of organized recess, and through this grant, we are able to do it."
Capital One volunteers came out early in the week to repaint the blacktop and then again later in the week to show students how to safely use the equipment in a variety of games that aimed at fostering participation and fair play (pictured). Each classroom also received a bucket full of new recess materials that encourage students to interact and play with one another in a collaborative way.
"This is a great opportunity that Capital One gives us to give back to the community and the neighborhood," said Tim Gunn, a Capital One employee. "It's been a great experience, one of the kids even said it was better than field day, so that's just sort of the icing on the cake for us."
Villa's Flagler Housing wins national NAEH award
St. Joseph's Villa's Flagler Housing & Homeless Services was one of three entities to earn the National Alliance to End Homelessness' Champion of Change Award. The awards were presented Nov. 17 during a ceremony at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.
NAEH annually recognizes proven programs and significant achievements in ending child and family homelessness.
Flagler completed its transition from an on-campus shelter to the community-based model of rapid rehousing in 2013, and it was one of the nation's first rapid re-housing service providers to be certified by NAEH. > Read more.

Sports & Leisure
The nation's passion for sports is obvious every day—at NASCAR races, kiddie soccer matches, and countless other contests. From a handball used by Abraham Lincoln to Chris Evert's tennis racket to a baseball signed by Jackie Robinson, the roughly 6.000 objects in the Museum's sports collections bear witness to the vital place of sports in the nation's history. Paper sports objects in the collections, such as souvenir programs and baseball cards, number in the hundreds of thousands.
Leisure collections encompass a different range of objects, including camping vehicles and gear, video games, playing cards, sportswear, exercise equipment, and Currier and Ives prints of fishing, hunting, and horseracing. Some 4,000 toys dating from the colonial period to the present are a special strength of the collections.

Comments: Love this lure. Durable and great action. If they sold it in more colors, I would buy more of them. Again worth every penny. Dont let the size fool you. This bait catches fish.
From: Peter: Cleveland, Ohio
Comments: If we're going to correct spelling Steveo, it's spelled ARSENAL; not "arsenol". ROLLS EYES The bait's cute. Wish Clayton made a bigger version.
From: Alan: WV
Comments: good lil swimbait,swims great,what I like is ya don't need big heavy swimbait rods for these,u can use your reg. Flip n pitch or jiggn rods.not to sure about the head hook but I suppose if it hangs me up a lot ill just take my linemen pliers and cut it off. I wish or hope clate reads this and will make and offer more colors for these...hint hint...id love a perch pattern or green sunfish,shellcracker or a baby bass color.but a good buy for a lil swimbait.
From: Steven: USA
Comments: this bait looks awesome,but,my 360 spinner hook,well it don't spin for crap.the hook just turns itself up onto the little plastic fins.so I thought maybe if I played with it turning it it would work itself in and get lose...wrong,instead it worked itself lose in the bait so I ended up having to epoxy it in and now it don't spin,not what I would expect with cl8 or a $30 little swimbait.I also wish it had another hook more towards the rear,cause it sometimes does get short strikes.but all n all its an ok bait,worth the $30 tag..NO.but if it catches fish that's all that counts
From: Sam: USA
Comments: Awesome action! this bait holds up to some toads... i have one of the bluegill and have probably caught over 40 fish up to 7lbs on it and it is still holding strong. A+++ bait
From: Matt: Havasu, AZ
Comments: Great bait. Catches fish. Still holding up. Enough said. SEEMS someone should be "statiing the facts" right.
From: BigRich: Southern Cal
Comments: its called a review....thats what i did big dan,and to me it seems cheaply made,take a look at that rear hing pin its smaller then a paper clip,and on mine the top hook wiggles,so im not bashing im statiing the facts on the product i recieved.and btw. its get your facts "right" not write...rolls eyes.i have an arsenol of swimbits,this one in my collection rates low,id rather pull out a tylure,rago,taterhog,22nd,or 3:16 over this guy.those to me are top quaity lures.
From: Steveo: Wind City
Comments: Just for the heck of it I read the review section on this bait and someone wrote that it felt cheaply made? Your obviously not up to speed on cL8bait products and how well they are made, the bluegill and crappi are made from the same material as the 9in. bait the company originally came out with, this material is almost shatter proof, you can bounce it off rocks all day without any worries of it breaking, get your facts and comments write before you go bashing peoples products.
From: Dan: AZ, US
Comments: subpar swimbait,kinda flimsy and has that "cheap" feeling to it.dont get me wrong it has great action.but i dont see this holding up or lasting for to many seasons,ill stay with my tylure bluegills n crappies.also not a fan of the top hook,it snags on all water plants and algie.
From: Steveo: Windy City
Comments: great paint job and a very good action.
From: Brent: USA, IL
Comments: The top hook is a little odd, but the action is great, and I boated a nice little 8lb striped bass with this thing late April. Worth every penny.
From: Pete: Cleveland, OH
Comments: Ridiculously great action. The slow sink actually sinks pretty quickly. Nice small bait though, and can be tossed on pretty lightweight equipment. Only fished with it once so far, in really cold water, so I was mostly testing the bait. It looks great, and have confidence that this bait will produce plenty when the water warms up!
From: Chris: MA
Comments: Beautiful bait, looks very natural in the water!

I saw this today and I thought it would definetely be different. For those who don't want to read the article basically Rotherham council is holding 3 days of town centre christmas parties in July with hotels and bars and that being christmassy and with christmas trees, lights and fake snow.
As much as we all love Christmas, isn't it a bit early to have christmas parties?

If the online world were a fairy tale, would the Internet be the big bad wolf?
That's what many parents still worry about, but the reality is that the Internet is more akin to Goldilocks being ultra-curious about which bed to sleep in and porridge to eat.
In truth, we fear what we don't know, which is why when it comes to allowing our kids to go online, we tend to pull the plug quickly one moment and blame it for everything at another. If we took the time to learn how to drive it, we'd find that it wasn't so intimidating at all and much safer than even our worst fears.
Think about the words of wisdom you tell your child when learning something new such as driving: "Relax. It seems hard and overwhelming at first, but once you learn the steps and how to use the car and have some practice, it's really easy and you'll do great! There are a few things you do need to know to be safe, and that's what driver's education and practice are for."
Step 1: Once proper age, register for a learner's permit at your local registry.
Step 2: Take driver's education to:
Step 3: Take the driver's test.
Step 4: Congratulations! You're a licensed driver and now can explore the roadways, following the laws in your state.
1. Age parameters: Many sites now have minimum ages, especially social networking sites. This isn't just to keep the site to a more mature audience but to protect our kids. Social networking looks easy, but it is actually a bit more complicated in the hands of a young teen. Similar to driving, young teens can be impulsive and a bit reckless. Pushing the age of use older allows teens to mature so when they do start using the sites, they are ready for the experience.
2. Technical assistance and tutorials: Learning to use popular Web venues is easy. There are manuals, books, courses, and online tutorials. The popular sites are all very user-friendly and designed to be intuitive and similar to many of our other online experiences. Once you understand how to use one area of today's Internet, it becomes much easier to adapt to another. As a parent, learning the technology becomes not only essential so you can understand what your kids are doing but quite easy.
3. Fundamentals: Cars have parts and are run by keys. Web sites have sections and are usually run by passwords. Your job as a parent is to be familiar enough with the online areas your kids frequent to
If you know these 4 things, you'll be able to get around a site enough to see what your child is experiencing, and learn enough to have a conversation with your child about the site.
4. Know the roadways: The Internet doesn't have a handy map system; it is interconnected via searching. If you understand just enough about how searching works, how to Google, you'll be able to find your way around the Web and find out where your child is hopping to and from. You'll also become more efficient in your own searches, which is an added plus.
5. Follow the rules and make sure your kids follow the rules: Just like there are rules to driving and laws, there are online rules, including
One of the best lessons you can teach your kids is to follow the rules. If a site isn't appropriate, don't fudge the rule—it's simply not worth it. For example, Facebook's minimum age is 13. What lesson are you teaching your child if you allow him or her on younger?
6. The real world is off-line: Ideally, our online time will help us learn something about life to make our off-line time more fulfilling. To do so, we need to help our kids balance their media diets so that their off-line life still matters and isn't completely consumed by their online worlds.

Use of JCP site is subject to the JCP Terms of Use and the Oracle Privacy Policy
JSRs: Java Specification Requests
JSR 67: JavaTM APIs for XML Messaging 1.0
JCP version in use: 2.6
Java Specification Participation Agreement version in use: 2.0
JAXM provides an API for packaging and transporting business transactions using on-the-wire protocols being defined by ebXML.org, Oasis, W3C and IETF.
Please direct comments on this JSR to the Spec Lead(s)
The following information has been updated from the original proposal:
2017.02.01: The Maintenance Lead changed to Lukas Jungmann.
Specification Lead: Lukas Jungmann, Oracle
E-mail address: lukas.jungmann
Telephone number: +420 221 43 8543
Original Java Specification Request (JSR)
Identification | Request | Contributions
Section 1. Identification
Submitting Participant: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Contact Persons:
List of other Participants who endorse this JSR:
Section 2: Request
2.1 Please describe the proposed Specification:
This JSR requests the creation of the Java API's for XML Messaging 1.0 specification (JAXM). This specification will describe Java API's designed specifically for the exchange of XML business documents such as, invoices, purchase orders, and order confirmations. This JSR will refer to such documents generically as business messages or messages for short.
The business messaging community is working to converge on a set of standard message headers and industry-specific message payloads. It is planned that this JSR will leverage work currently under way in the ebXML Transport Working Group, Oasis, W3C, IETF and potentially other relevant and open standards bodies.
This JSR does not aim to define either XML messaging standards or XML schemas for particular tasks. These networking and formatting standards belong in networking standards bodies such as Oasis or IETF. Instead this JSR aims to define standard Java APIs to allow convenient access from Java to emerging XML messaging standards, such as the emerging ebXML Transport/Packaging & Routing standard.
2.2 What is the target Java platform? (i.e., desktop, server, personal, embedded, card, etc.)
The JAXM 1.0 specification will be provided, at least initially, as a standard extension but will be incorporated into the Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform as soon as this is practical and there is sufficient demand to warrant such integration.
2.3 What need of the Java community will be addressed by the proposed specification?
JAXM 1.0 will specify API's enabling the Java Community to develop portable applications that support emerging industry messaging standards:
2.4 Why isn't this need met by existing specifications?
Given the diversity of communication requirements and technologies amongst multiple trading partners, there is currently no standard way to accomplish the secure, reliable exchange of business documents. However, industry standards are emerging.
More specifically, there is currently no standard Java API facilitating the exchange of XML messages over the Web. The ability to describe a "software contract" in XML such that Java applications can exchange data (either synchronously or asynchronously) with other business applications will facilitate Web based business-to-business communication.
Although, this specification will focus exclusively on business applications written in the Java Programming language and messages described using XML (as specified by open industry standards e.g. ebXML), such applications will be capable of interoperating with all applications conforming to a common message exchange Schema.
2.5 Please give a short description of the underlying technology or technologies:
The JAXM 1.0 specification will most likely specify a low-level abstract Java interface specifically targeting the transmission and reception of XML messages. The specifications will be developed by industry experts to ensure that message delivery can be accomplished by supporting a number of communications infrastructures and key networking transports including, but not limited to, HTTP(S) and SMTP.
2.6 Is there a proposed package name for the API Specification? (i.e., javapi.something, org.something, etc.)
2.7 Does the proposed specification have any dependencies on specific operating systems, CPUs, or I/O devices that you know of?
2.8 Are there any security issues that cannot be addressed by the current security model?
The goal is to leverage the security services of the JavaTM 2 platform, Standard Edition and Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition where possible.
2.9 Are there any internationalization or localization issues?
The goal is to leverage the I18N services of the Java 2 platform, Standard Edition. There are no localization implications at this time.
2.10 Are there any existing specifications that might be rendered obsolete, deprecated, or in need of revision as a result of this work?
Section 3: Contributions
3.1 Please list any existing documents, specifications, or implementations that describe the technology. Please include links to the documents if they are publicly available.
3.2 Explanation of how these items might be used as a starting point for the work.
These documents are being developed independently and are therefore at different stages of completion and can serve as a starting point for the work of the Expert Group.

We are active baby boomers; that is the theme of BoomerCafé. But what happens when inactivity is forced upon us? Pam Johnson, a.k.a. Mz. Zoomer, went through that. And learned a few lessons about One Boomer's Job Search in the Digital Age.
I was put out to pasture this past summer. This is the second time in my work life that I have been laid off. It`s very different this time, though. Now, as a baby boomer, it's abundantly clear that to succeed, I will have to adapt.
I do have some cards to play. My years in Telecommunications have forced me to embrace technology, in spite of myself. By no means an expert, it has given me that little edge to push beyond the fear of technology. I have a wealth of working knowledge and have developed a large social and business network that any company would value. Most importantly, over time I have developed patience. I am a better listener, communicator, and teammate. Paired with my strong "hard" skills, my improved soft skills make for a powerful combo.
The internet has been helping with my job search. There is so much access to so many resources. There are job sites, social media sites, resume building sites and even sites that offer tips on how to interview better. Have you ever typed in keywords "boomer job search" on Twitter Search? Try it. Apparently we Boomers are turning to the internet for job searches even more than younger generations! Refreshing. Check it out: How the Generations Use Social Media to Job Search. What a wake-up call to employers.
And now, the "elephant in the room" — ageism in the workforce. A job search is different from securing a job. I might offer an impressive online presence to an employer but in the end, people hire people. Most likely my younger interviewers will wonder if I am capable of learning new things, or can handle taking instruction from someone younger. One can debate exactly how long it takes a person to form a first impression.
An article by Carol Kinsey Goman, Seven Seconds to Make a First Impression, claims that you have seven seconds! Wow, even if it's two minutes, I need to control this moment. To prepare, I turn to the internet once again. You'll find tons of great advice and tips for Boomers.
Just read this BoomerCafé article by Bob Weinstein. Is this all a bit overwhelming and are there days that I worry about finding a decent job? Absolutely! Will I have success? Only time will tell, but I sincerely believe that I will. I certainly have all of the tools to. Yes, this time being laid off is very different.

Sugarpaste Roses by Petalsweet
So...I've been practicing...a lot...and thought I would share some of the roses I have created recently. Here is a simple open rose - I might use a bunch of these mixed in with other flowers in a bouquet:
A larger rose with a more vintage feel - I might use this on top of a small cake with some tiny white filler flowers:
And a very large garden rose - I felt this one needed to stand alone on the top of a cake with the addition of only a pair of rose leaves:
It was a lot of fun to make...and I'm looking forward to practicing more...but the next round will include lots of color! More coming soon!
Thank you so much for stopping by!

Just gorgeous! I've been meaning to learn how to do roses. Can I ask what cutters and tools you use? Are they all out of gumpaste or do you mix with fondant or something else?
- April 17, 2010 at 1:58 AM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Thanks so much everyone!
*Queen of Tarts - I mostly use cutters from Sunflower Sugar Art (Rose set and Extra-Large Rose set). My flowers are all made out of gumpaste.

All of your flowers are just stunning. So convincingly real, I can smell them! Just curious...how long does it take you to do the largest rose, especially if you are doing them from single cutters? Can you give info on number of petals/rows for the roses you have pictured?
- April 27, 2010 at 4:04 AM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Suzisweet - thank you so much! The large rose actually goes pretty quickly because I cut out a lot of the petals at once, and then shape them and build the flower. I don't work by a strict number of petals, but usually add them as I think looks best. But...for this particular rose, I worked in rows like this:
1 petal wrapped around center cone
2 petals wrapped next
3 petals
4 petals
6 petals (more open around center)
7 petals
10 petals to finish the last row
I usually make the flower to the row with 6 petals and let it dry overnight before adding the final two rows. I hope this helps! Jacqueline

Hmmm... seem so delicious. Anyway, you have a nice flower cake design. I wanna try how to make something like that.

Jacqueline, your flowers continue to amaze me! I always look at them and wonder, if I was to make one, I would probably drop it! I dont think I could bear it if I did! I just cant figure out how delicate your fingers are and they are sooo perfect!!

Hi Jacqueline. Your rose is outstanding! Your work is amazing and your an inspiration! I live in New Zealand and it is hard to find a good teaching site. I wondered if you would be able to aid me in making the large vintage rose? I would like to have just the one sitting atop my cake for a competition coming up soon. I would realy appreciate any help. My main questions are have you made these on wires or just glued each piece and how do you get the shape of the vintage rose petals?
- May 23, 2010 at 1:55 PM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Hi Emma!
Thank you so much! The large roses I made in this post were all one piece, no wired petals. A few comments above this one, I outlined the rows and numbers of petals I used to create the large single rose. I usually cut my petals and curl back the edges with a wooden skewer to shape them, then let them dry a bit in plastic soup spoons so they are cupped. One they have set, I glue them to the main body of the flower. Please send me an email if you have further questions...I couldn't link to you from here! Would love to help if I can! Jacqueline

That's wonderful thank you sooo much! I am going to have a practice either tonight or tomorrow. Thank you and will take you up on the offer of email if I need any more help with anything. I really love your work! I'm very jealous as you have a lot more cake tools available to you over there - we have very little in NZ! :( I look forward to reading more of your posts! :)

Dear Jacqueline!
Wonderful. What cutter you used for these roses? It seemed Scott Clark Wooley?
Marcelo (from Brazil)
- August 12, 2011 at 1:42 PM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Hi Marcelo,
Yes - the roses were made with the cutters from Scott Woolley. You will need his regular and XL sets to make the oversized rose!
Very best,
- August 13, 2011 at 3:32 PM
- Charlotte spence said...
Dear Jacqueline, first of all i think your flowers are wonderful. I have looked though the posts and it may sound like a stupid question but for the big vintage roses do you use the same size cutter for all the petals or do you change that as you add more petals. I would really appriciate your help. Thank you
x Charlotte
- January 18, 2012 at 3:44 AM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Hi Charlotte...you will need to increase the size of the petals as you go. They need to be bigger as the flower is growing in size, or else the petals won't stick out far enough to be seen under the previous row. Jacqueline x
- January 18, 2012 at 8:44 AM
- Annette Smith said...
Hi Jacqueline!
What size cutter of Scott's do I use for the first petal, and when do you change the size up? I see that he sells an Xtra large cutter set, and I'll order those on Monday. I would guess that those are for the last two rows, but what do you start with? Also, will you do a rose tutorial for Cakemasters? I am going to take the Gardenia one. Thank you so much for letting us oldsters learn this. This is on my bucket list, and I am at home recuperating from surgery. I don't quilt. I love learning sugar paste art. LOL! Maybe in Heaven I can make angel food cakes and sugar paste roses! I love it! But, I do hope to learn how to make a rose. Please help me. Thanks!
- May 31, 2013 at 2:49 PM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Hi Annette..I haven't made this particular rose in a few years, but I probably used a mix of his smaller set of rose cutters and then the larger ones for the outer petals. I do hope to have more tutorials for Cake Masters, but its doubtful I will do any for the rose since Tracy from Cotton & Crumbs really has the market cornered on them. I'll be offering other flowers that I use more often...will keep you posted! Jacqueline x

Hi Jacqueline,
I really love the work that Tracy does! Besides Tracy, and Edna, and Gio, are there others that have videos or DVD's that teach?
- June 5, 2013 at 8:57 PM
- Jacqueline Butler said...
Hi Annette...Scott Woolley has DVDs but no longer teaches in person. And of course you have Nicholas Lodge and Colette Peters. Both have classes on Craftsy and still teach in person. Jacqueline
- June 6, 2013 at 3:13 PM
- Anonymous said...
Hi Jacqueline,
Thanks for your help on this rose. In your answers you advised someone of this: "1 petal wrapped around center cone
2 petals wrapped next
3 petals
4 petals
6 petals (more open around center)
7 petals
10 petals to finish the last row"
Can you tell us what size cutter you used for each row?
I can't go to Nicholas Lodge's or Collette Peters classes. That is out of my budget for this year. Any help you provide, we all are grateful!

Thanks Annette!
Anonymous...I'm so sorry, I made this rose many years ago and have no idea what sizes of rose petal cutters I used. I would suggest a good place to start are the two sets Scott Woolley sells on his site..a small set and a larger one that would mix well together to make an oversized rose. I'm guessing the first petal size I probably started with was about 1.5" tall. You'll have to do some experimenting...I'm sorry I can't remember more, and I don't have the flower for reference.

Everything public and even semi-public should be viewed as Public Space; therefore as art and architecture.
The street is quite different from the road or the highway. This urban space is is not primarily for vehicle movement, but should be viewed as a public space, especially in urbanized areas where people are present on a regular basis.
I referred to these density areas as "ping points" as I once pointed them out on various maps to a study group. They then continued to refer to them as "ping points."
There are a variety of ping points in Shorewood, which should have special treatment as people spaces, the points where people gather, as they walk from place to place. Here is where the pedestrian should be king.
Here, the space itself becomes architecture and evolves as a gallery of public art, intensifying the sense of space and enclosure.
If we are looking for something special to attract people to our business district, these ping spaces will add tremendous attraction and value to the community and especially to its tax base. We should always think of public space as an art expression, as architecture.

Forbes Natural History Building, 1816 S. Oak Street, Champaign. Conference Room 1005
Abstract: Migratory flights of songbirds across ecological barriers are a conspicuous and risky, yet common, feature of avian migration, but critical details of these journeys remain unknown. We deployed automated radio telemetry tracking systems along the Gulf of Mexico to track songbirds from Alabama to the Yucatan Peninsula to gain insight into the behavioural strategies and consequences of migrating across a geographical barrier.

JFK: The Local Connection - Part One - "Green Bay"
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - Fifty years ago this week President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. His murder shocked the nation, as people everywhere mourned his short life. In a special report called "JFK: The Local Connection" Local 5 explores Kennedy's time in our area while on the campaign trail, a story told by those who worked to help him -win the White House.
At age 43, John Kennedy, was the youngest person, ever elected president.
Several times, while campaigning for the highest office in the land, this vibrant politician stopped in the Green Bay area.
"It is an honor for me to present to you - the next president of the United States,"
Fifty-three years ago, one Sunday morning, then-presidential candidate John F. Kennedy, walked to the podium of a packed Brown County Arena and made a statement that to this day is remembered and often recalled.
"I was warned to be out here in plenty of time to permit those going to the Green Bay Packers' game to leave," said candidate Kennedy. "I don't mind running against Mr. Nixon, but I have good enough sense not to run against the Green Bay Packers."
In the audience, people so sure this Democratic candidate would lead America to greater heights.
"One of the words that comes to mind is star quality for one and charisma," recalled Green Bay attorney, Owen Monfils.
A senator from Massachusetts whose energy on the campaign trial in Wisconsin was described as contagious.
"People were so thrilled, it was a strange thing," remembered Rosemary Hinkfuss, who helpd organize campaign appearences in Green Bay. "He just attracted people."
An Irish Catholic that won the White House - but roughly three years later - died from a barrage of bullets fired from an assassin's gun.
"The country was cheated, cheated of so much that could have been accomplished," said Fr. Rowland De Peaux, who saw Kennedy at a campaign stop at St. Norbert College in De Pere.
Fifty-three years ago in 1960, presidential candidate John Fitzgerald Kennedy campaigned across northeast Wisconsin.
Often traveling with his wife, Jacqueline, JFK visited the Green Bay area at least three times that year.
"You just liked him," said Hinkfuss.
Rosemary Hinkfuss helped organize a reception for JFK and his wife, held in the Hotel Northland, February 18, 1960.
"The day came and I was told I had to be there two hours early because we had to practice our song - Frank Sinatra had created this song for him,"Hinkfuss recalled.
"When I went through the line and shook his hand, he said "thank you Rosemary for being such a good host and being on the committee."
Hinkfuss recalls the room was packed. One of those in attendance was Green Bay attorney Owen Monfils.
This Democrat, while serving as a state delegate, helped select Kennedy as the Party's presidential candidate - during the Democratic Party Convention later that year.
Monfils headed up the Kennedy campaign in Brown County and worked tirelessly to win him voter support.
"He was a natural salesman, interesting man and you felt close to him just by shaking his hand," Monfils said.
During that same trip, Kennedy visited St. Norbert College in De Pere. Father Rowland De Peaux remembers it like it was yesterday.
An instructor at Premontre High School, he missed the candidate's remarks, but was on campus soaking in the excitement. He described it as electric.
"He was young, he was attractive, dynamic," said De Peaux. "That appealed to people and I think it appealed to the student body too."
Political Science Professor Larry McAndrews says Kennedy found success on the campaign trail in Wiisconsin and elsewhere, by turning what Republicans called his greatest weakness into a powerful tool for success.
"He was a dynamic candidate who was able to use his relative youth by political standards, to his advantage, rather than being a drawback," said McAndrews.
This political expert says no place was that more evident than during the first of four-televised presidential debates against Republican challenger Richard Nixon.
Experts says Nixon looked pale and tired - Kennedy tanned and outgoing.
"He was energetic, he was charismatic and he was telegenic in the first election in which television played a major role," McAndrews said. "He was able to project this youthful, energetic image that really won over a lot of people.
And at the Brown County Arena on a Sunday morning in October, just two weeks before the November election in 1960, a then-record 6,000 people turned out to have "Breakfast with Jack."
"I come here as the standard bearer for the oldest political party in history, but a political party which is young, vital and forward looking and ask your support again," Kennedy told the crowd.
In the audience Owen Monfils, Rosemary Hinkfuss and so many more - who still wonder - what America would be like if Kennedy's life had not ended in Dallas on November 22, 1963.
"From Dallas, Texas, President Kennedy died today at 1 p.m. CST," announced CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite to the nation that day.
"It was devastating, absolutely devastating," Hinkfuss remembers.
"It was like losing a member of the family," said Monfils.
"The country really was cheated - cheated of so much that could have been accomplished," said De Peaux.
