Brown County Public Health would like to help the community keep everyone safe and healthy this upcoming holiday! Whether you are grilling out, lakeside, poolside or enjoying the great outdoors, you can take steps to protect yourself and others from getting sick!
Here are five quick tips to have a safe and healthy celebration:
Monitor the air quality:
Here are five quick tips to have a safe and healthy celebration:
Monitor the air quality:
- Be air aware this 4th of July! Air quality conditions may change rapidly over the next few days. It is important to pay close attention to the air quality in your area and take action, especially if you don’t feel well. You can check www.airnow.gov for real time updates where you live or where you’re traveling to.
- Avoid mosquito bites by applying an insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, or IR3535 to exposed skin and clothing. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning hours, when mosquitoes that spread the West Nile virus are most active. Wear long-sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors to keep mosquitoes away from your skin. Learn more about the West Nile Virus here: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/mosquito/wnv.htm
- Whether you’re barbecuing, grilling, cooking, or eating outdoors it’s important to always keep food safety in mind. Bacteria in food multiply faster at temperatures between 40°F and 140°F, so the summer heat can pose a problem. Here are some easy things you can do to help keep everyone at your table safe from foodborne illness: https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/barbecue-basics-tips-prevent-foodborne-illness
- Take steps to stay cool in the heat if you plan on being outdoors. Drink plenty of water on hot days. Do regular check-ins with loved ones, especially young children, and older adults. Avoid the hottest part of the day—if you want to be outside, stick to the cooler morning and evening hours. Stay informed about your local weather forecasts so you can plan outdoor activities safely. Pay attention to extreme heat alerts. More heat safety guidance can be found here: https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/climate/heat-safety.htm
- Keep you, your loved ones, and your pets safe! Don’t swim if there is a red sign that says “Beach Closed” or where water is discolored, or has scum, foam, or dead fish. Wash off with clean water after swimming, and rinse off pets with clean water if they swim in discolored or scummy water. Also never drink or swallow the water from a lake or a pool.

On August 11, 2022, the CDC released their new guidance and recommendations for COVID-19. Brown County Public Health continues to align with the CDC's recommendations, but still encourages individuals to speak with their health care provider if they are considered high risk for infection.
Key changes:
Key changes:
- Social Distancing: due to the increased number of vaccinated individuals and those with immunity as a result of previous COVID-19 infections, the CDC no longer recommends staying at least 6 feet away from other people to reduce the risk of exposure.
- Quarantine: unvaccinated individuals no longer need to quarantine for 5 days after exposure to COVID-19. Instead, they should wear a mask for 10 days and get tested on day 5. Stay home if you develop symptoms and test again.
- Test to Stay: if an individual was exposed to COVID-19, they no longer need to receive a negative test to stay in school as long as they are not experiencing any symptoms.
- Contact Tracing: should be limited to high risk situations, such as hospitals and group-living settings (nursing homes, shelters, prisons).

This week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) authorized the use of the Pfizer vaccine for children 6 months through 4 years of age as well as the Moderna vaccine for children 6 months through 5 years of age. This means that everyone 6 months and older is now eligible to receive vaccination against COVID-19. Both the Wisconsin Department of Health (DHS) and Brown County Public Health support the recommendation that children ages 6 months through 5 years should be vaccinated against COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccines remain available to all Wisconsinites at no cost regardless of immigration or health insurance status. Parents and guardians can schedule an appointment for the vaccine using a variety of options, including with their health care provider, at community-based vaccination clinics, local and tribal health departments, or pharmacies.

When it comes to home canning, vinegar plays a critical role in safety AND flavor.
White and cider vinegars acceptable for home preserving are standardized to 5% acidity. But, increasingly, store brands of vinegar are available with 4% acidity. Be sure to read the label! If you choose a vinegar with 4% or lower acidity, it may not be strong enough to safely preserve food. Check out this information and more about safe home canning here.

GREEN BAY, WI June 7, 2023 – Room 108: The Clearing is a locally filmed movie set in a dual timeline of 1899/1900 and 1999/2000. Filming was originally inspired by a Wisconsin urban legend set at the Vic Theatre in Green Bay (now the Orpheum Theatre) where a double murder and homicide occurred after opening night of a new Broadway play. When Freddy Moyano, director, co-writer and one of the actors of Room 108: The Clearing, read about the urban legend, it inspired him to create his own take on it for an independent movie.

FoodWIse partnered with Danz Elementary School to provide Nutrition Education to 3rd graders. The curriculum offered had a garden-based approach where students learn about the parts of a plant and the nutrients that will help them stay healthy and strong. Students were able to learn about the six parts of the plant and taste at least one vegetable from each part of the plant. They were also able to plant beans and use hypotheses to see if they could figure out what would happen to the plant. A celery and water experiment was also done, and the kids had wonderful hypotheses on what would happen to the colored water.

Its Awards Season for Brown County 4-H 2023!
Wisconsin Key Award Nominations are due May 1st. Applications for selected nominees will be due June 1st.
About the Key Award
As a way to recognize the 4-H members who truly embrace the 4-H commitment, Wisconsin has developed The Wisconsin Key Award: one of the highest honors awarded to top-notch 4-H members in their 9th -13th grade years.
To be eligible for this award, candidates must be in 9th grade or above and must have completed at least three years of 4-H and one year of youth leadership.
Young people can either SELF NOMINATE or BE NOMINATED BY an adult or older youth who can vouch for their 4-H commitment. Often, young people don’t see the good they do – and the nomination process can be a way of sharing with young people that they are not only seen, but commended.

The COVID-19 vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness, hospitalization, and death. Fully vaccinated people who test positive for COVID-19 more than 2 weeks after their completed vaccine dose series are called "breakthrough infections." No vaccine is 100 percent effective, and as such we expect to see some fully vaccinated people test positive for COVID-19, but breakthrough cases typically report mild illness or no symptoms.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) monitor rates of COVID-19 cases and deaths by vaccination status. The graph below illustrates the rates of COVID-19 cases among fully vaccinated people with and without an additional or booster dose and compare them to rates among unvaccinated people.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) will be updating this data monthly. Visit COVID-19: Illness After Vaccination | Wisconsin Department of Health Services or CDC COVID Data Tracker: Rates of COVID-19 Cases and Deaths by Vaccination Status for more information.

Green Bay, WI—March 18, 2022 — What’s Your Function? is a juried exhibition hosted at the Neville Public Museum featuring the artwork of NWTC Artisan and Business Center students, artists, staff, and faculty.
Artists were asked to explore the theme of “functional” artwork – from a table to a teapot or a tool – or by simply bringing joy with beauty. The idea of “functional” art doesn’t have to be obvious: it could be as simple as a painting on a wall. You might be thinking: “What function does a painting serve?” It could be to make you think, to provoke emotion, to bring joy, to cover a hole in the wall, or even cause a giggle!

Green Bay, WI—January 21, 2022— In September 1915, the Green Bay Art Club held its first public art exhibit in the children’s room of the Kellogg Public Library (125 S. Jefferson St.). This exhibit laid the foundation for a permanent museum in the library in 1917, which became the Neville Public Museum. Ever since then, Colony artists have held an annual art exhibit at the Neville Public Museum.
For more than a century, hundreds of women artists have been part of the Green Bay Art Colony. These women continue to inspire each other, educate the public, encourage new artists, and give scholarships to art students. Styles and club rules may have changed, but the dream to keep art and culture part of the community remains the same.

Tree-related questions are quite common at the Extension Brown County Horticulture Help Desk, and many issues concern trees that were planted by the homeowner about 15 – 25 years ago. These trees were perfectly healthy for many years but then started to slowly decline as they age. Typical symptoms are a thinning of the tree’s canopy, smaller and off-colored leaves, dying branches, early fall colors, early leaf drop, deep cracks in the trunk, etc. The most common trees involved are maples and lindens, but ash, honey locust, ornamental pears, and Japanese tree lilacs are other trees we see affected. While there might be several factors causing the issues including insects and diseases, the most common reason is that the tree was planted too deeply, to begin with!

This month our 4-H club held its meeting at the Lawrence Town Hall. To kick off the meeting, each member shared their name and what they entered in the fair. After that, club members nominated members for officer positions and put together a rough schedule for the year ahead. Then, for the club picnic, each member got a pre-packaged meal to enjoy and eat together. To top it off, there was ice cream for dessert. It was a great way to kick off a new 4-H year.

There is a sense that spring is arriving soon. Now is a good time to consider doing a soil sample for your home landscape or wildlife food plot.
Soil testing is important since it can provide critical information to determine what your nutrient needs are but will also give you other useful information such as soil pH and organic matter content. The test results will also outline recommendations to remedy any insufficiencies that may be found. These recommendations will allow you to apply fertilizers containing the needed nutrients in the correct amounts. Many times, gardeners simply apply a “balanced” fertilizer containing Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium (10-10-10 for example) but you may not need all of these nutrients in your garden. It is so important to only apply what is needed in the amount necessary to help reduce excess nutrient pollution of our local waterways.

When the Victory Garden Manual was first written in 1943, it was pretty easy to come up with reasons to grow your own vegetables. It was wartime and food was scarce. The food that was available might not have been the freshest or healthiest. Statistics say that in 1943, nearly 40% of all fruits and vegetables grown in the U.S. were grown in-home and community victory gardens. That’s impressive!
Now, as National Garden Bureau celebrates its 100th anniversary (1920-2020), it seems timely to reintroduce the concept of victory gardening with quick and easy steps to plan and grow your own vegetable garden.
We are calling it, Victory Garden 2.0!
All credit goes to the author of this book, James H. Burdett. Mr. Burdett founded the National Garden Bureau in 1920 as a way to enlist horticultural writers and broadcasters in the noble effort of mass education to create a population of gardeners. In the process, he improved the lives of citizens both in wartime and in times of peace. Click here for more information.
