This tiny house in Wisconsin's Northwoods is a big escape

MILWAUKEE — Whether you're a tiny house hater or devotee, there's no denying the little abodes are hot right now

Tiny homes available for rent in the new Canoe Bay ESCAPE Village outside Chetek include one- and two-bedroom units with screened porches and decks.

From HGTV's Tiny House Hunters to minimalist blogs and Instagrams, everyone's getting in on the tiny house game. And it's finally made its way to Wisconsin. At Canoe Bay near Chetek, you can live the tiny house life — at least the tiny house vacation life.

On the first night I stayed in one of the resort's 344-square-foot tiny homes, I pushed back the blinds in the window next to my bed to take in the late-night view — the frozen white expanse of a lake was visible through a smattering of trees, and the night sky was full of constellations whose names I should know.

It was quiet, peaceful, cozy — everything I was looking for in a non-adventurous weekend getaway. I could get used to this tiny house life — at least for a weekend.

My mom had bigger ambitions, metaphorically speaking, of living in one full-time.

I don't remember when exactly she birthed her tiny house dream.

More:Tiny homes, big problems: Where can you park your home-on-wheels?

I do remember it was conceived with the help of shows like Tiny House Hunters that follow couples (and families!) on their quest to squeeze their lives into 200-square-foot boxes.

My mom had always harbored dreams of retiring to the RV life: touring the country in a bus with a bed, parking it semi-permanently at my siblings' and my houses between trips.

Then the tiny house revolution provided a more homey solution, an actual house in tiny proportions. A self-contained mother-in-law suite for more permanent parking in a child's backyard.

Through the aspirational lens of HGTV, I couldn't disagree that a tiny house was intriguing. It certainly beat my itinerant home, a 30-square-foot tent. And as I watched my friends struggle to find affordable, traditional homes (and battle the clutter, cleaning and maintenance that come with them), the idea of a compact, budget-friendly home grew more appealing.

So when I saw Canoe Bay had opened ESCAPE Village, with a few tiny homes available for vacation rentals, I figured we could both get a real-life dose of tiny-house living.

The tiny homes are part of the first large-scale tiny home village in the Midwest. Built by Rice Lake-based ESCAPE, developers checked off many tiny house boxes, with some major pluses: red cedar siding gave the abodes a rustic-chic (and Instagram-friendly) look; modern, full-size appliances and plumbing; large windows and high ceilings for plenty of natural light; a queen-size bed in a separate bedroom on the main level; perched on a wooded lake for maximum privacy and natural views.

We pulled up to our Traveler XL model after dark, so we'd have to wait until morning to take in those views in the daylight.

What we did take in was the "tiny" space, still new-smelling with a hint of pine. One wall featured a full-size refrigerator, a gas stove and oven (not available for use by guests), a full-size kitchen sink and a flat-screen television above an electric fireplace. On the opposite wall, a butcher block table with two chairs sat beneath an oversize window and alongside a couch that could fold flat into a bed.

On one end of the home, a queen-size bed filled a bedroom — an upgrade from the lofted bedrooms that are common to tiny homes. On the other end of the home, a bathroom featured a large vanity, toilet and shower with tub — another tiny house upgrade. A loft above the bathroom provided another sleeping space. Pine lined the walls, and frosted glass doors let light pass between the bedroom, bathroom and main living space. The high ceilings and large windows made everything feel bigger than tiny.

That's the goal, according to ESCAPE CEO and founder Dan Dobrowolski.

"You can go in and you can go, 'I don’t feel like I'm in a box.' The ceiling is high, airy and it's light. It feels real," he said. "Everything is real-size. The bathroom is bigger than the one I had in my first two apartments. It's a real bed, it's a real bedroom, there's a real sink, there's a real stove, refrigerator, table where you can sit."

Aside from the price and portability, Dobrowolski doesn't hesitate to point out what attracts people to his tiny homes: design.

When Dobrowolski left a two-decade career as a television meteorologist in Chicago to start Canoe Bay on the grounds of an old church camp outside Chetek, he teamed up with architect Kelly Davis to design the resort's cabins, with heavy influence from Frank Lloyd Wright.

"That kind of Zen, quiet architecture is what we love the most. ... I like things that are peaceful to the eye and are calming," he said.

Dobrowolski started building Canoe Bay in 1992 with his wife, Lisa. Since then the resort has garnered awards for its high-end cabins, elegant dining room — supplied from the onsite organic garden — and top-notch service.

John Rattenbury, a Frank Lloyd Wright protégé, designed some of the cabins along with Dobrowolski and Davis.

"We had people almost from the beginning who would come to Canoe Bay and say, 'We want one of those,'" Dobrowolski said.

About four years ago, they began putting some of the smaller versions of their homes on frames.

"When we saw the tiny house thing coming on, we already had in place the designs, the people, the build teams, etc., because to a large degree we were already doing it. So all we did was made them mobile," he said.

"Everybody loved them. It instantly kind of went viral," he said, noting that ESCAPE's website saw a dramatic jump in traffic when a few blogs posted about their tiny homes.

Tiny house, or just a small cabin?

But isn't "tiny home" just clever marketing jargon for a cabin or mobile home?

"The term tiny home legally means nothing," Dobrowolski said. "It just creates confusion. A tiny home is any small building that people inhabit for some amount of time."

In 1998, architect Sarah Susanka published The Not So Big House: A Blueprint for the Way We Really Live. The bestseller advocated for smaller homes that maximized space and took advantage of flow and natural light — an emphasis of quality over quantity and pushback to the McMansion era. Susanka and the book are credited with sparking the small-home movement.

Tiny houses are generally under 500 square feet and of course are not new — pioneers lived in one-room cabins and modern hunters have their shacks. But tiny houses these days are different. They're usually mounted on trailers for transporting and they're impeccably designed to maximize every inch of space.

The problem comes in legally defining them. They don't fit into existing zoning laws and building codes, which often require homes to be larger or don't allow permanent residence in mobile structures.

Legally, ESCAPE's tiny homes are recreational vehicles — they conform to department of transportation standards and all have their own VINs.

"It's not built like a normal travel trailer, it doesn’t act like a normal travel trailer, it doesn’t look like a travel trailer, but it's a travel trailer," Dobrowolski said. "There's quite a difference between an Airstream and a Traveler XL (ESCAPE's most popular model). … But they both have everything in them to be certified as RVs. One is built like a house … one is a tin can."

Consider insulation: RVs typically are not insulated as well as a house, but ESCAPE's tiny homes are.

Dobrowolski said they've sold units to "every socioeconomic group and every age group," from Silicon Valley billionaires to single 20-somethings, but "a lot of them are vacation or second homes."

More:First tiny homes, now small communities

More:Tiny houses are trendy — unless they go up next door

It's easier to imagine vacationing in a tiny home than actually living in one. As I lay in the queen bed, I couldn't fathom fitting all of my belongings in the small space. My outdoor gear alone would need its own shed. The rest of my stuff would require serious purging.

And the thought of a family living in one full-time — like in some of those HGTV shows — is insane. Even with just two people, you better really like the other person to live in such a small space with them. Talk about testing a relationship.

But for a weekend getaway, it was the perfect size. More homey than a hotel room, but more affordable than cabins of the same quality. Some of the bigger ESCAPE units have two full bedrooms, larger living rooms and screened sleeping porches.

Aside from one of those larger units being visible from our windows and a few hikers passing by on the road, there was ample privacy in our unit, especially with the blinds drawn.

An Adirondack chair provides a spot for resting along Dead Goose Lake at Canoe Bay.

Snowy serenity

Our tiny home didn't have Wi-Fi, but there was cable on two flat-screen TVs, so we spent a lazy morning watching HGTV, drinking coffee and reading.

But the beauty of tiny homes is the subtle push they give you to get out of them. You can sit and watch the outside world through the giant windows, or you can walk a few steps and breathe in the crisp winter air, smell the pines and feel the soft powder beneath your feet.

So we ventured down two metal steps outside the front door into the snowy landscape. The new ESCAPE Village has only a few tiny homes now in a cluster along Mallard Lake, but more homes are in the works for a handful of clusters around two lakes on 100 wooded acres. The units are available for individual ownership and can then be rented out through Canoe Bay.

We hiked down the snow-covered road past Mallard and Lost lakes, pausing to locate a woodpecker whose telltale drumroll rang out from above. Along Dead Goose Lake we passed behind some of Canoe Bay's original cabins, their Prairie-style architecture in harmony with the surrounding landscape. We waved to a pair of couples sitting on their cabin's back patio in the mild January weather, covered in blankets, sipping wine before noon and obviously living their best lives.

It's quiet at Canoe Bay, and not just because of the remote wooded location (Chetek, with a population of just over 2,000, is 10 miles west). Kids and pets are not allowed. While I love hearing kids enjoying the outdoors when I'm at state parks and other outdoor spots, a weekend free of the stunning lung capacity of youth is a welcome respite. There's a reason the resort has earned a reputation as a romantic getaway.

The quiet enveloped us as we sat on an oversize Adirondack chair overlooking the lake. Later, inspired by the cabin couples, we opened our own bottle of wine at the table in our tiny house, soaking in the views through the big windows that dominated the room.

For two days, we lived big — nearly as well as we would have in a larger home or cabin. While we couldn't use the stove, we did make use of the refrigerator and microwave to store and reheat meals we had brought. We also took advantage of the full-size shower/tub to wash off a full day of hiking. None of it felt cramped or inferior to a regular home.

"What Frank Lloyd Wright got right is he didn’t forget that people move in space, and that's what we always try to remember," Dobrowolski said. "It's not what we design. How is someone going to live in it?"

On Sunday, before we began the four-hour drive back to Milwaukee, we both wished we had at least one more day to live in the tiny house bubble.

But could we do it full-time? In something that beautifully designed and well-built, there was a tiny chance.

The one- and two-bedroom Premiere units at the Canoe Bay ESCAPE Village feature optional porches.

If you go

Canoe Bay offers three tiny-home models available for rent: Traveler XL, Premiere One Bedroom and Premiere Two Bedroom. Rates vary, but our Traveler XL cost $195 per night for a winter weekend, plus taxes and a one-time cleaning fee. Kids under 18 are not permitted in the ESCAPE Village, nor are pets and smoking. See

Homes in the ESCAPE Village are available for individual ownership, with rental possibilities through Canoe Bay. The Traveler XL unit we stayed in costs $91,350, plus a lot rental fee. ESCAPE also sells its units for personal use outside the resort, and has its own trucking firm to deliver them.

In the area, the Chippewa Moraine State Recreation Area is great spot for hiking and snowshoeing about 20 miles south of the resort. The Blue Hills trails about 20 miles to the north are great for cross-country skiing, and nearby Christie Mountain has no-wait downhill skiing.

Bloomer Brewing Co. reopened in Bloomer in 2013, but the brewery dates back to before prohibition and brews a range of solid offerings from Back Porch, a lemon-raspberry ale, to the seasonal Winter Bock, a bock made with Wisconsin syrup.

In Chetek, Caddy Shack Bar & Grill lives up to its reputation of having the best pizza in the area.

Calendula Oil

Calendula Oil is one of many popular carrier oils used in massage, aromatherapy, and other body-work treatments.

Calendula oil (from Calendula officinalis, which is a type of marigold) is usually extracted by maceration, which is why calendula oil is one of the more expensive carrier oils. This is one reason why this oil is often used blended with another, usually a fixed, oil. However, due to its benefits for damaged skin (incl. cuts, bruises, broken veins, eczema, varicose veins), calendula oil is sometimes applied alone/undiluted to small areas, such as visible broken veins.

Cosmetic uses of calendula oil are similar to the therapeutic applications, such as for chapped and cracked skin, and for cleansing, softening, and soothing.

I prefer not to
Ticket sellers, bonded, $2.50 per seller per hour.
August 26, 2007

I went to church on Sunday with my wife and daughter. It was a catholic church, Sacred Heart, in Portland, Maine. It's a great church, cavernous, lined with towering stained glass, some nice, big imposing steps and columns out front. It's a little run down, but a decent spectacle, especially if you're two (like my daughter).

We go there not because we're believers (I'm not and never will be), but because it's nice for Rosa to take in, lots to look at and listen to. Plus, the congregation there is great. There are a lot African immigrants (Portland sports a noteworthy immigrant population from Somalia and Sudan). There are kids everywhere and bright colors and life.

One of the readings was pretty good, Luke Chapter 13, 22-33. I contains one of those classic scriptural tidbits that are absolutely compelling. Powerful rhetoric, beautiful to envision if only because it is demonstrably false everywhere in real life: "There are last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last." It's the usual bit about getting into heaven...where there are rewards for those who have nothing or foresake everything in life. There was even a doorman:

"Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are..."

At this, I couldn't help but imagine Heaven's doorman as C.E. Hocksey of a Lenny Bruce bit by that name that I was listening to earlier on Sunday morning (I'm also not a believer in Lenny Bruce but he's an enjoyable spectacle if you're 32 and don't have cable (like me)). In it, he's trying to hire a ticket seller/taker by mail. (I haven't tracked down the audio for this bit online yet, if I do, I'll update this post. It's on a discography I have called Let the Buyer Beware). He wonders if the ticket seller would also be available for "companionship" and warns that the seller will likely have to deal with his psychotic (and fake, or at least borrowed from the news) father who shows up at shows and throws feces in the seller's face or leans against the the ticket booth, naked, with a sign tied to his unmentionables announcing that the ticket seller will "Kiss it" when we hit $1,500 in sales.

If heaven is anything like I imagine, there must be an awful lot of that going on around the front door.

Constitutionally fragile, the skin of the eye contour area is subject to continuous stress and more subtle. even the eyelids perform intensive workouts, beating about 10 thousand times throughout the day, which strains collagen fibres.

Even more Bow Wow Beef?!?...

Recommended Posts

I never saw Roll Bounce (but i own it). The feel good soundtrack and trailor, along with Nick Cannon is why i picked it up. I'll have 2 watch it and compare their performances. Nick Cannon's character actually looked pretty funny.

Nick Cannon's Music > Bow Wow's Music

Any questions, because there shouldn't be... It's pretty straight forward... It's that simple...

I don't know about the music part. They're both equally wack. It's a push.

If I were stranded on an Island and were forced to pick a cd from either Bow Wow or Nick Cannon, I'd choose Nick. They're both wack, but one is less wack than the other. Degrees of wackness if you will.

I think Nick hurts Will's legacy more than helps Will's legacy by saying that he was inspired so much from Will, that's like saying Will inspires wackness, Nick can't check a mic for Will and he ain't gonna win an Oscar anytime soon either, I'll admit "Wildin' Out" is cool but it won't be remembered in 10 years like "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" is, he only had like one or two good movies so far to go along with one or two good songs on his only album, he's average at best really, and y'all know how I ain't a big Kanye fan but subpar rappers like Nick make Kanye sound like Rakim, I wonder what's going on these days where how such low talent artists get record deals, these A&R's deserved to be beaten for signing them, it's a crime that Bow Wow and Nick Cannon got record deals to begin with, we need real talented artists like me and Da Brakes to blow up and say openly how much they were inspired by Will, btw Bow Wow trying to pull an Eminem and say that he's gonna retire after releasing his next album, personally I don't think nobody but a handful of lil' girls will actually care, I'd rather be first in line to buy an Eminem album then to buy any album from that lil' pup

Buying and Selling a House at the Same Time

If multitasking is your forte, you may view buying and selling a house at the same time as a normal everyday occurrence. For most people, however, it can be quite a challenge. The fears are real — if you buy a new house before selling your existing home, you could end up with multiple mortgage payments and upkeep expenses; if you sell your existing home before buying another, you could be homeless for a while and have to crash at a family member’s house.

Buying and selling a house at the same time in South Carolina is possible, even feasible, with the right Realtor®. Jeff Cook Real Estate is rated as Best Real Estate Agents in Charleston for 2022 by Expertise.com. Over 3,000 reviews on Zillow, Facebook, and Google have rated us at 5/5. This is for one primary reason: we help our clients buy and sell their homes. Period.

Our clients average only 27 days on the market, and receive 99.7% of their original asking price. We have the knowledge and expertise to help you, even when buying and selling a house at the same time. In fact, it happens more frequently than you may imagine.

Get Ready to Sell

Begin where you are and get your existing home ready to sell. This means making recommended repairs and upgrades that make your home more attractive to potential buyers. The key is knowing what to repair or upgrade that will raise buyer interest and overall home value without too much investment.

Cleaning and decluttering from top to bottom is another key component in making your home attractive to potential buyers. They want to see the spaces available when viewing your home in photos online or in person, so remove all your stuff but the basics of furniture and some basic decor.

After deep cleaning and decluttering, it’s time to take good quality photos and videos for use online when you’re ready to list. Your agent from Jeff Cook Real Estate can help with this, as well as providing time-tested recommendations for repairs, upgrades, and more to get your home ready to sell.

Get Ready to Buy

The number one priority in getting ready to buy is to have your personal financial picture in order. This includes being up-to-date on your current mortgage payments and other financial obligations, eliminating any debt possible (especially credit cards), and generally making sure your credit score is as high as possible, with no ambiguities or problems.

Two important aspects of the financial process to purchase a home are your overall credit score and your debt-to-income ratio. Even with a good credit score, your debt-to-income ratio can be too high, making lenders nervous about providing you with mortgage credit. Of course, it will help that you are eliminating one mortgage to obtain another. But the mechanics of this can be tricky.

All this is key to making it through the preapproval process, so you can begin house shopping in earnest. It also helps to have a downpayment in addition to any profit you expect to make from the sale of your existing home. Selling your home is not a sure thing; cash on hand is a solid credit in your favor.

Focus on the Timing

The real challenge comes with obtaining your financing, locating a home you wish to buy, and finding the right buyer for your existing home. Timing all these is critical to not leave you or the other involved parties waiting too long, or leaving you balancing too much expense. A seasoned agent from Jeff Cool Real Estate can work with you to coordinate house showings, negotiations, paperwork, and other necessary factors.

Remember, this will include home inspections, back-and-forth negotiations about the home you wish to purchase and with the home you wish to sell, any repairs needed to make the deal, requests you have for the sellers, and coordinating closings on both transactions. And don’t forget packing, loading, and moving from one location to another.

Company Director Graeme Minto manages our team of accountants in Falkirk, Stirlingshire who are qualified accountants and members of ACCA and ICPA.

Office Desk

The Team

Meet the dedicated team at Jenkins & Co.

After graduating from Stirling University, Graeme started his professional career by cutting his teeth in the advisory industry at his

father's Tax and Accountancy company Minto & Co.

Minto & Co was later merged into Fitzsimons & Co where Graeme undertook training with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland

and then struck out on his own joining Jenkins & Co as a partner.

In 1997 Graeme took ownership of the firm and has since led and driven the growth of the practice with an emphasis on quality services

and a passion for advising and supporting Scottish businesses as they look to achieve their goals in the local market and beyond.

Having a global view from a small Scottish town also has proven invaluable in providing private clients internationally as well as local

taxation advice.

Payroll Manager

Joining the company in 2007 from a Payroll/Finance background I was very much looking forward to being part of a client focused culture a small, local business provides.  My objective is to build on our friendly, professional, informative services and provide an excellent payroll service for our clients.

Accounts Manager

I am a qualified accountant with nearly 30 years of accountancy and taxation experience working in accountancy practices.

Responsible for managing the accounts team and the initial point of contact for client queries relating to accounts and tax.

I strive to provide the best taxation and accountancy service to every one of Jenkins and Co’s clients.

Accounts Assistant

I joined Jenkins & Co in March 2020 just as the pandemic hit.  I have been working in accountancy practices for 12 years but have many years accounts and bookkeeping experience and have certificates for Quickbooks and Xero along with an SVQ for customer care.

Accounts Assistant

I have worked for Jenkins and Co for nearly 30 years and have gained a wealth of experience in both accountancy and taxation over the years. My main areas of expertise are accounts preparation and VAT returns. I have a keen eye for detail and accuracy and enjoy a challenge.

Billy Bilsland Cycles

We have used Jenkins for years and have always been delighted with their service. Graeme has been happy to visit us in Glasgow and is never hard to get on the phone. Would recommend.

Jen, J7 Evolve Limited

I chose Jenkins when I started my business after speaking to several different accountancy firms, my choice to go with Jenkins & Co was not a price driven one (although price was on my list of considerations), it was because I felt able to talk honestly, ask all my questions and felt that I was talking to another human in everyday language - Not accountant speak. The team has grown recently and the service has developed accordingly.

You too can be radioactive for just $34.95!

Sometimes, if I am really bored at work, I read Amazon reviews. OK, I also read blogs. But at my primary workplace, blogs are blocked, and I get tired of reading on my smartphone. Luckily, Amazon is not blocked, and a few weeks ago, while waiting for a slow database export, I stumbled across this gem:

Uranium Ore

That’s right, real uranium ore! I found the Product Details very interesting:

Product Features

  • Radioactive Ore Sample
  • License Exempt – low radioactivity
  • Useful for testing geiger counters
  • Shipping compiles to NRC and postal regulations
  • Radioactive minerals are for educational and scientific use only.

The product had an average 3.8 stars out of five. Here’s what some users had to say. Surprisingly (or not), none were an “Amazon Verified Purchase.” Hmm….

2,640 of 2,754 people found the following review helpful

I bought this to power a home-made submarine that I use to look for prehistoric-era life forms in land-locked lakes around my home town in Alaska. At first I wasn’t sure if this item would (or could) arrive via mail, but I was glad to see it showed up with no problems. Well, almost no problems.

Unfortuantly my mom opened my mail, because she does not respect people’s privacy. She was pretty upset to see Uranium Ore. After a long argument and me running away from home again, she finaly stopped being such an idiot and I was able to get back to work.

The quality of this Uranium is on par with the stuff I was bying from the Libyans over at the mall parking lot, but at half the price! I just hope the seller does not run out, because I have many projects on my list including a night vision sasquatch radar, an electromagnetic chupakabra cage, a high velocity, aerial, weighted Mothman net and super heated, instant grill cheese sandwhich maker.

Here’s the “most helpful critical review”:

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for creating a zombie apocalypse =), November 20, 2010
This review is from: Uranium Ore

This item works great when trying to create a zombie apocalypse. I tried some on my friend (smeared a little on his big mac when he went to the bathroom) and boom! Instant zombification! Just be careful not to get any in an open cut or in your eyes, because it will turn you into a zombie really fast. My plan is to start a zombie apocalypse so that everyone will get sick and eat each others brains, leaving me the only healthy person and thus leader of the new free world! I wish amazon would ship this product in larger quantities because it would make my plan go so much faster! But at least I was eligible for free amazon prime super savings shipping!

But my favorite review of the product had been removed between the time I read it and now! Luckily, we have Google Cache!

1.0 out of 5 stars not as advertised, by Osama Bin Laden, April 12, 2012
It’s a trap! I wanted to, uh, liberate the Americans so i bought 800 cans of this and attempted to ship it to my secret fortress in Abbottabad, Pakistan. The delivery guys showed up in a black helicopter and instead of my uranium they brought guns! Please nobody fall for the same trap i did I am stuck in my house now i can hear them shooting downstairs i am hiding here with my wife please don’t kill m-

Many reviews mentioned Back to the Future and time travel. Obviously they haven’t read my Saturn Society books! Emmett Brown wrote several reviews. I wonder how?

There actually were a few reviews that said it was good for testing one’s Geiger counter. Although I find it amusing that the shipping “compiles” instead of “complies”… must be the programmer in me. What are some of the most entertaining Amazon product reviews you’ve seen? Would you buy Uranium Ore from Amazon? Oh, and what about some of the products under “Customers who bought this also bought…” LOL!

Jersey City Joins Regional Coalition to Launch Resilience Initiative for Flood Reduction
Posted on 03/25/2021

JERSEY CITY, N.J.- A coalition of local leaders and technical experts recently announced the launch of the Resilient Northeastern New Jersey initiative. This joint effort between the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken, Bayonne, Hudson County, Ironbound Community Corporation, and HOPES Community Action Partnership, supported by a team of consultants led by Arcadis, will identify and implement flood risk reduction strategies for the Northeastern New Jersey region to improve long-term environmental and economic resilience.

To ensure an equitable approach to resilience, the project team is seeking input, information, and recommendations from residents, workers, businesses, and organizations regarding their own experiences with flooding and storm events. Specifically, the Resilient Northeastern New Jersey initiative will work to address flooding from coastal storms, high tides, heavy precipitation, and overflowing riverbanks.

Resilient Northeastern New Jersey is one of four regional action plan efforts across the state that are being administered by the NJDEP Bureau of Climate Resilience Planning.

"We are excited to work with municipal and county leaders in the Resilient NJ regions to identify locally-driven regional solutions to current and future flooding," said New Jersey Chief Resilience Officer Dave Rosenblatt. “Strengthening New Jersey against today’s climate threats is an important part of our long-term approach to climate resilience and we applaud these leaders for their vision and initiative.”

“We took the initiative to adopt the Jersey City Resiliency Master Plan in 2017, and have since implemented creative solutions to various challenges that urban areas like us often face to improve the health and safety of our residents and community – from requiring green infrastructure in new development to increasing tree planting, to new underground sewer infrastructure diverting storm water while reducing pollution in our local waterways, to other water-absorbing efforts,” said Mayor Fulop. “This regional initiative will expand upon these localized
efforts, and I’m confident that with the community’s input, we’ll create a stronger, more resilient infrastructure for generations to come.”

Community members interested in sharing their perspectives, recommendations, and experiences can contact the team through a variety of channels including:

  • Visiting the website at
  • Downloading the project’s app for your smart phone: IRYS app on the Apple Store or Google Play Store
  • Engaging on Facebook or Twitter at @ResilientNENJ or on Instagram @Resilient_NENJ
  • Leaving voicemail feedback on the multilingual project hotline: 201-275-0861
  • Emailing feedback to [email protected]
  • Participating in virtual public meetings and focus groups. Additional information is available on the project website, linked above.

“Anyone who lives or works in New Jersey has been, or knows someone who has been, affected by flooding. The people familiar with this area understand its strengths, limitations, and needs and are uniquely capable of helping identify what neighborhoods and streets are most susceptible to flooding. We are eager for input to make sure this plan effectively and impactfully protects these communities,” said Carly Foster, project manager for Arcadis.

The Resilient Northeastern New Jersey project is expected to be completed in May 2022. The project will be conducted in waves to account for public input at every point in its development. Input from residents of flood-prone areas will be integrated into a risk assessment to evaluate future risks to critical infrastructure and valued community facilities, which will give residents and workers the opportunity to contemplate the potential impacts of future flooding on their communities. Results of the risk assessment and public feedback will be used to develop potential solutions for addressing identified risks. The final plan will delineate a path for implementation of these solutions in the future. Community members will be able to follow the project’s progress on the various channels available for engagement.

About Resilient Northeastern New Jersey
Resilient Northeastern New Jersey is a partnership between NJDEP, Jersey City, Newark, Hoboken, Bayonne, Hudson County, Ironbound Community Corporation, and HOPES Community Action Partnership, which is supported by a team of consultants led by Arcadis, including SCAPE Landscape Architecture, ONE Architecture & Urbanism, HGA, Sam Schwartz, InGroup, and Irys. The partnership aims to build upon ongoing resilience work and provide a clear roadmap for ensuring long-term social, environmental, and economic vitality by reducing flood risk. Resilient Northeastern New Jersey is a collaboration between local and state government, community organizations, the public, and other stakeholders. Additional information about the partnership and project can be found at

A Letter to Israel

Dear Israel,

Everything I know about you, I know secondhand. I know that you are a country swirling with vibrant colors and cultures, where spirituality rubs elbows with technology. I know that you are country filled with passion, a sabra mentality of tough encasing soft. I know your history, born from the fires of the Holocaust.

Everything I know about you, Israel, I know secondhand.

I talk to people about you. They always pause, gathering their thoughts to answer the collective question: Where to begin? And their stories always, always, always come back to family and identity.

Debbie Attman told me about her first visit to Israel. Last year, she went on a Heart to Heart mission with The Associated. She is forever grateful. “My parents told me to visit Israel. I didn’t listen then,” she says. “The minute I stepped off the plane, I felt my parents’ arms around me.

“Everyone is so proud to be Jewish, it’s so comfortable,” she says. She remembers Shabbat in Jerusalem, unlike any Shabbat she knew before. Everywhere she turned, she connected. “I got it. I got what they were talking about. I got what it means to be Jewish.”

Debbie’s daughter joined her on the trip. The family is returning this spring, for her grandson’s Bar Mitzvah. “My parents would be overjoyed to know that their great-grandson is marking his Bar Mitzvah in Israel.”

Everything I know about you, Israel, I know secondhand.

I know that you have repeat customers. Until recently, I never understood why someone would go back … especially with a world of places to discover. What I’ve learned is that a return trip is a new trip. I talked to Ellyn Polakoff about her Heart to Heart experience. It was her second visit. “You could go 100 times and have a different experience each time,” she says. “I remember going to the Wall and seeing the soldiers. You cannot imagine the feeling, unless you are there.” She remembers visiting a high-tech school where students learned, just a few miles from the bombs over Sderot. She met women learning skills for self-sufficiency and heard stories from a Holocaust survivor who found a home in Israel. She wants to return.

Everyone does, says Laurie Luskin, who chaired the national Heart to Heart mission. “Every time you go, it’s a different experience, she says. “It’s never a been there or done that. You realize that you have been changed after visiting Israel.”

I think it’s a visceral, intoxicating connection – no one seems to get enough of that feeling of belonging … of coming home. No zip code in the States has that same pull.

Dear Israel, I know that my grandparents visited you, back in the 1970s.

They weren’t much for travel, never even had a passport until then. But, you, you they would see. I imagine that it was a virtual fist-bump to their parents, who came here from Russia, leaving family behind, whose letters stopped one day. I imagine it was a dream come true, a victory, for them to see the Jewish homeland firsthand.

And even though my grandmother was recovering from the brutal treatment regimen that defined early cancer care, they went. How could they not? It was their only trip. It was their last trip.

Israel, I have news for you.

Baltimore is on the way. Again.

In February, The Associated is joining the national Jewish Federations of North America Heart to Heart mission. We’ll spend a meaningful, inspiring Shabbat in Jerusalem and visit Ashkelon, our sister city, as a Baltimore group. Then, we’ll join the national mission. We’ll see the sights, talk with people making a difference, explore and understand how all of us are part and parcel of Israel – today and tomorrow.

Every woman is invited to be a part of this life-changing mission.

Israel, in my dream come true, I’ll be there, too.

Heart to Heart 2014 Baltimore experience: Thursday, February 6 through Saturday, February 8 Heart to Heart: Sunday, February 9 through Thursday, February 13 Costs: $2350, land-only, double-occupancy, plus additional costs to be determined for Baltimore experience; flights coordinated through Gil Travel at 212-284-6660. A leadership gift to The Associated’s 2014 Annual Campaign is requested. For more information, contact Liz Schuman, 410-369-9251 or eschuman@associated.org.

Readers’ Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars – This is a masterpiece!

Dr. Joanna Kujawa has written one of the most important books of our time. The Other Goddess stands alone as a book that is both a powerful teaching and an alchemical tool, opening the door for the willing reader to accept the healing transformation available within its pages. Written from the lens of a brilliant scholar, Dr. Kujawa does the research for us, presenting the material with ease and accessibility. It is simultaneously down to earth and transcendent. I couldn’t put this book down and while I drank it in, I felt myself remembering the wisdom she brings forth as it lives in me personally. Indeed, Dr. Kujawa emerges as one of the greatest teachers of goddess consciousness today. This is a must-read for anyone longing to reclaim the deepest truths of the Divine Feminine.

5.0 out of 5 stars – An Initiatory Journey

Almost finished the book and I must say that I found the mix of well-referenced and based on hard evidence claims and the hypotheses based on alternative (eg channelled) and personal material revolutionary. The source of a hypothesis is always clearly stated so the reader is free to accept or reject it. We really need that – some aspects of life have to be looked at from both objective and subjective stance or we lose on knowledge and understanding. I think gnosis is a mix of intellectual understanding/ knowledge and intuitive knowing. Intuitive knowing on its own would perhaps be too hard to grasp, too undifferentiated, we need facts and their interpretation, too. Besides, the future initiates studied and practised a long time before the final initiatory rites, didn’t they. Thanks to this happy combination (and for other more esoteric reasons) The Other Goddess is not just a source of cool info but an initiatory journey not for the faint hearted ;-). I experienced hyperventilating, highly wired awe and need for several attempts to read certain parts because I got too overwhelmed (in a welcome way). Thanks very much. I hope there will be a continuation, it cannot end there!

5.0 out of 5 stars – Reading This Book Will Bring Forth More Of Your Higher Self

Having a background and training in the Tantric arts, Dr. Joanna Kujawa shares her experiences and investigations into the Divine Feminine in her book, The Other Goddess. One has a greater appreciation and affinity for this work since although coming from an academic approach, Joanna discloses being a practitioner as well. To engage the reader, she is willing to be vulnerable by presenting personal parts of her own story and journey of encumbrances and elations – this shows both courage and strength.

Conducted through sensuous archetypes (e.g., Sundari, Kali), who also provide us with wisdom, the book touches on several historical divine feminine influences from both religion and mythology. Encounters with genuine blissful erotica, however rare they may be, are presented in relationship to such cosmic influencers as Mary Magdalene and Sophia, the emanation of God venerated by those following a Gnostic path. Much is also presented of Eros’ effect on our psyche – I hope Anteros can be discussed in a future edition or publication.

There were perspectives and theories that I found difficult to agree with, but nevertheless, they presented alternate viewpoints worth considering. It seems too much feminine energy or too much masculine energy is damaging – the extremes erode rather than compliment. The goddess can emasculate and the god can be misogynistic. Balance needs to be obtained through love rather than craving the dangerous and destructive power that comes with dwelling too far towards either pole.

For anyone searching into or trying to improve their healthy sexual alchemy, The Other Goddess is a worthwhile addition which provides insights, accounts and methods for doing so. I recommend adding it to your reading collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful

I absolutely loved this book. I have been on a divine feminine journey for a while now and this book is amazing. I love how there is a book list at the end to continue your journey.

Amy Bohanan

5.0 out of 5 stars Seek and ye shall find…. the Other Goddess

If you are seeking new spiritual insights and a greater connection to the full human experience, or if you just enjoy unraveling a good historical mystery, this book is for you.

Have you ever wondered, as I did as a child, why Christians revere a heavenly father, but no heavenly mother? This struck me as odd even as a 5-year-old. Sure there was Mary, Jesus’s mother, but she wasn’t a divine mother who participated in creating us all and in ruling the universe alongside the heavenly father. “The Other Goddess” addresses this question and many others.

Dr. Kujawa uses decades of academic research combined with a very personal recounting of her own experience to create an alternative spiritual vision. The focal point of her thesis is the role of Mary Magdalene in the life of Jesus. Dr. Kujawa’s research shows that much of the story of Mary Magdalene has been left out of the canonical bible. Far from being a repentant prostitute, Mary Magdalene, according to Kujawa’s research and that of many others, was Jesus’s most valued disciple and companion, who came not from a humble but from a noble background. A second focal point is the idea of resurrection, and that the concept of resurrection has a basis not just in Christianity, but in ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, and Hindu traditions. A third, very important idea that Dr. Kujawa explores is the unification of spirituality and sexuality, and that it is the unification of the divine feminine and masculine that can open a gateway to higher consciousness and spiritual awareness. This third focal point plays a vital role in the first two.

In reading “The Other Goddess,” I came away with the hopeful realization that there is an underlying thread which unites not just many faith traditions today, but many faith traditions across human history, going back to our earliest roots, and that this thread can bring us closer if we explore it.

Another benefit of reading the book is that it can serve as a primer for the study of so many alternative spiritual ideas and viewpoints, including Gnosticism, Esoteric Hinduism, Sufism, and ancient Egyptian and Sumerian religions. Dr. Kujawa is careful to mention her sources in the text as well as in her bibliography, and she does a good job of giving her impressions of each source, sometimes commenting on how credible she thinks a specific researcher’s ideas are. She is also very good about stating when something is her own opinion versus something that is actually known in fact. Her inclusion of her own experience adds a personal, relatable element to the research, and causes the text to read like a detective story, which is what she intended.

I highly recommend “The Other Goddess” to anyone seeking a greater understanding of what unifies us spiritually and as people.

5.0 out of 5 stars – Called to Read It

The Other Goddess beckoned me until I ordered a copy and found the knowledge I was seeking. When a book mysteriously finds you and calls you, can imagine the power it holds?! I received, and continue to receive, secret knowledge and sensual wisdom that informs me and directs my path.

Reading this book has been like drinking milk and honey, quenching my thirst with a refreshing, “Ah! Finally!” as I relax and rejoice in the cascading waterfall of Goddess wisdom. As a teacher of belly dance, I have long been on a personal quest to recover these secret truths. Dr. Kujawa’s well-researched, well-traveled, deeply enriched path to recovering this knowledge for us may be the holy grail.

While the topic is vast, here are some parallels I drew from Dr. Kujawa’s information and my own in the connection between Goddess knowledge and belly dance: Awakening the divine feminine, Illuminating the seven major Chakras, Providing a road map on our journey of womanhood, Invoking the elixir of sensuality and kundalini, Journeying inward, Finding our inner eroticism, Embodying the Goddess, Practicing devotion with body prayers (belly dance), Transcending through time, Connecting to our female lineage, Getting out of our heads and reconnecting to our bodies, Integrating our opposites, Healing our collective feminine soul wounds, Becoming empowered and confident, Dissolving the patriarchy, Reconnecting to our sense of self, Recovering the lost art of consummation in several ways including with men, masculine energies, music, the elements and the divine.

While I drew these parallels from my own perspective, I am fascinated by Dr. Kujawa’s personal journey of discovering the Goddesses and her interpretations. She delivers this wealth of knowledge in such an easy-to-read and powerful way, I consider myself the recipient of wisdom from a higher initiate. Oh yeah!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Primer for a New Tantra of the West.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2022

I love this book. Dr. Joanna Kujawa delivers a beautifully thoughtful meditation on the divine feminine, the ancient teachings of tantra and sexual alchemy, and the spiritual necessity of Eros. The western world has diminished the power of Eros to the detriment of human sexuality and spiritual wholeness. The author draws sensible connections between the ancient practices of the east with the feminine iconography of the west, offering us ways to use wisdom in our own lives. This book is no mere erudition, but a primer for a practical Tantra for the western world.

To quote the author: Human beings were always meant to touch and be touched. Human beings were always meant to experience transfiguration through sexual ecstasy and soulful connection…I am convinced there is no boundary between the body and the soul. If this boundary appears to exist, it’s an artificial creation of the mind. (Kujawa, p.172).

This book has convinced me now as well. You hold in your hands a guide to a tremendous healing power; a way to unite flesh and spirit into a wonderfully, beautiful wholeness.

5.0 out of 5 stars – Wonderful and necessary book for these times

The combination of telling a personal story and then delving into academic discovery is truly marvelous. It gives the reader an emotional connection with not only the material, but the author as well. The entirety of the content is very well connected, and of course, unique. I love the approach Dr Joanna Kujawa used, giving us just enough information to draw our own conclusions on how we feel about the topic of Mary Magdalene and the relevant topics, whilst still informing us of her own. This allows for deeper exploration of the Mysteries, giving space for us to connect with anything that surfaces from our own points of interest. There are many aspects in the book that I annotated, and quite frankly devoured, hungry for more on the topics of Goddesses and the feminine mysteries. I loved learning, and this is truly a book for those who do: every page dripped with some juicy knowledge or tidbit of information unbeknownst before which makes you eager to read on. There are a vast series of texts and sources presented, that are begging for further investigation… and I have been left inspired for reading, researching and speaking about this book! I recommend it to everyone on the Goddess and/or gnostic path.

The Wanderess

5.0 out of 5 stars – Finally!

Thank Goddess! Finally a book that honors the full experience of the feminine! Thank you Dr. Kujawa for brilliantly dispelling the myths and misconceptions of female sexuality and proving through the history of the goddess how spirituality and sexuality are linked.

5.0 out of 5 stars – Insightful and very entertaining

It was a pleasure to read such an insightful and entertaining book reading, not only about Dr Joanna’s research, but also her personal experience regarding sexuality/spirituality. The story about Mary Magdalene has been mis-told from her beginnings. Dr. Joanna’s book researches Gnostic sources how they were discovered and what they said about Mary Magdalene. The most appealing part was her research into the mythology of ancient goddesses such as Inanna and Isis and how she connects them with the tantric goddesses and rituals. I am interested in ancient Egypt so my favourite part was about Mary Magdalene’s life in Egypt as an alchemist. That was definitely something worth reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars – Important read for all feminine wisdom seekers

The author combines scientific research with personal story and myth allowing for horizon opening yet pleasurable read.

I love the synthesis and structuring in the book of many information that I have read and learnt from several sources. The book is well researched and referenced yet does not overwhelm with specialized vocabulary but rather points out towards the source of more information is needed.

Moreover, the book is yet another sign of feminine wisdom coming back to its place.

I feel how our mothers, grandmothers, and grand-grand-grandmothers celebrate that we can be free in pursuing feminine wisdom for them. Indigenous people say that when we heal we heal seven generations before and after us.

Highly recommended read for seekers of lost feminine knowledge independent of gender.

On Wednesday 19th, Edinburgh R&B combo The Blueswater are at in Glasgow, at The Hug and Pint.

Thursday offers a bit of an Americana double bill – former Green on Red mainman Chuck Prophet is alongside Jesse Malin (well, can’t swear they’re literally on stage together, but anyway, they’re both at Cottiers Theatre in Glasgow’s swinging West End.

Or, a rather intimate (read probably packed) gig at The Hug and Pint, as Mull Historical Society plug new album ‘Wakelines’.

In Aberdeen, True North Festival kicks off – it runs from Thursday to SUnday 23rd, and on the opening night, Man of Moon, Solareye, and Zoe Graham play The Lemon Tree

And support comes from Jill Lorean – Jill out of Sparrow and the Workshop also going incognito.

Finally, Sunday. Savage Mansion continue their trawl across Scotland with a gig at Sneaky Pete’s, while First Offence – I assume it’s the band beloved by John Peel some aeons ago, but best check first- are at Opium with Screamin’ Whisper in tow.
And lastly, in Glasgow, a band with the strangely appealing moniker of Consumer Electronics, who are at the 13th Note.

UN Secretary General announces probe into Ukraine prison attack

UN Secretary General António Guterres Wednesday announced a fact-finding mission into a recent attack on a Ukrainian prison. The rocket strike hit a prison located in Olenivka, a Russian-controlled area of Ukraine, which housed Ukrainian prisoners of war. 50 people died in the strike.

Following the attack on the prison, both Russia and Ukraine requested the UN launch an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attack. During a press conference, Guterres stated:

I decided, in line with my own competencies and powers, to launch a fact-finding mission….I hope we’ll be able to have an agreement on the terms of reference of that mission…we hope to have all the facilities from both sides for access and for the [obtaining] of all data that is necessary to be able to clarify the truth about what has happened.

Russia and Ukraine have both blamed each other for the strike. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the attack “a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war.”

Russia claimed that Ukraine deliberately attacked the prison. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated, “It’s quite evident what happened in Yelenovka, and there is absolute proof. The people, namely Ukrainian captives who were kept there, were killed by Ukrainian troops. Ukraine killed its captive soldiers. There are lots of wounded.”

Both Russia and Ukraine have confirmed that the UN and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have been on site to respond and investigate. Russia claimed the Kremlin directly invited both the UN and ICRC.

Blackberry Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote

This Blackberry Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote is so creamy and rich, and it takes advantage of all of the goodness of my favorite summer berry, the blackberry.

Blackberry Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote

This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek! I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies but as always opinions are 100% mine.

This blackberry cheesecake, with a sugar cookie crust and a blackberry compote, captures the flavors of your favorite summer berry in a rich and decadent dessert. While I made this cheesecake with blackberries, you could substitute strawberries, raspberries, or a combination of all three berries.
I'm a huge fan of cheesecakes, including mini cheesecakes, cheesecake brownies, and full-sized cheesecakes

If you have an abundance of strawberries, and don't want to make a traditional cheesecake, these cheesecake bars are killer good.

Blackberry Cheesecake

Tips for Successfully Making Cheesecakes:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. Bring the cream cheese and eggs to room temperature. This will ensure that the ingredients will mix thoroughly without lumps.
  • Be sure to thoroughly mix the ingredients with your paddle attachment of your stand mixer. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl regularly as you mix the ingredients.
  • Be sure to add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each one is added.
  • Bake your cheesecake in a water bath. Wrap the pan in heavy duty foil and place it in a larger pan filled with hot water. I use an extra large cake pan for the water bath.
  • Your cheesecake is done when it jiggles in the center. The cheesecake will continue to bake when you remove it from the oven and firms up as it cools.
  • Let the cheesecake cool in the pan for a long time at room temperature. Don't be tempted to remove it from the pan too early.
I followed my own advice and I'm so excited that this blackberry cheesecake did not crack!

Blackberry Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote on the side

Shopping list for this blackberry cheesecake:

  • 4 packages of full fat cream cheese
  • Sugar cookies
  • Sour cream
  • 2 cups blackberries
  • Springform Pan

Pantry Items:

  • Butter
  • Vanilla
  • Sugar
I used Dixie Crystals Sugar, Adams Vanilla, and a 9 inch Analon springform pan, all from our prize sponsors.

This cheesecake freezes well. Just be sure that it is fully cold before freezing.

Blackberry Cheesecake with a Blackberry Compote

Yield: 12 servings
This Blackberry Cheesecake with Blackberry Compote is so creamy and rich, and it takes advantage of all of the goodness of my favorite summer berry, the blackberry.

For the Crust
  • 1 1/4 cups (170 grams) sugar cookie crumbs
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted
For the Cheesecake
  • 4 - 8 ounce packages full fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh blackberries, cut into halves or quarters, depending on their size
For the Blackberry Compote
  • 1 1/2 cups blackberries
  • 2 tablespoons port wine

How to cook Blackberry Cheesecake with a Blackberry Compote

  1. Mix the cookie crumbs and the melted butter in a bowl and press to the bottom of a 9 inch by 3 inch springform pan.
  2. Place the pan in the freezer.
  3. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  4. In the bowl of a stand mixer or large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sour cream, and sugar on medium-high for three minutes.
  5. Add the eggs and egg yolks, one at a time, mixing between each addition.
  6. Add the flour, lemon juice, and vanilla, and mix.
  7. Fold in the 1 1/2 cups of berries with a rubber spatula.
  8. Pour the mixture into the pan and smooth the top. Wrap the sides and bottom of the pan with heavy duty foil to prevent the water bath from leaking into the pan.
  9. Place the pan in a larger pan in the oven and pour hot water into the larger pan so that the water is about 1 to 1 1/2 inches high.
  10. Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is slightly jiggly.
  11. Remove the pan from the water and cool the cheesecake on a wire rack for 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 6 hours.
  12. When ready to serve, combine the rest of the berries with the port and serve with the cheesecake.

In 2020, 13-year-old Abraham Olagbegi found out he was born with a rare blood disorder and needed a bone marrow transplant. About a year later, he found out better news: His transplant was successful and he qualified for Make-A-Wish, an organization that grants wishes to children with serious illnesses. Abraham wanted a long-lasting wish and he had an idea he shared with his mom. "Mom, I thought about it and I really want to feed the homeless," said Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham's mom. After checking to make sure he didn't really want a PlayStation, Abraham's parents fully supported his decision. Make-A-Wish is helping Abraham feed the homeless in Jackson, Mississippi, US, once a month for a year. After that, Abraham plans to continue helping the homeless; he wants to turn this effort into a nonprofit one he's already named "Abraham's Table."
