All you need to know about Wisco: Milwaukee gets an arts hotel and Minocqua gets a tick-borne disease center. Veteran Milwaukee Journal reporter Paul G. Hayes examines the decline of a print-journalism giant, and ichthyologist (a person who studies and protects fishes and their habitats) John D. Lyons makes a case for protecting locally rare species. We meet the ecology pioneer and namesake of Schmidt Maple Woods near Eau Claire, and learn what Lake Superior would say if it could talk—or at least write on a chalkboard. Wauwatosa-based artist Sharon Kerry-Harlan opens up about her fabric and collage art, and the Wisconsin Writers Association Jade Ring Winners share their award-winning works with our readers.
