What’s New in Marinette<br />
Menekaunee Harbor Project<br />
The Menominee River<br />
has always been one of the<br />
great strengths of Marinette,<br />
and the <strong>city</strong> recognized<br />
this when it acquired the<br />
former Jozaitis Distributing<br />
company on the shores of<br />
Menekaunee Harbor and<br />
turned it into a picturesque<br />
boat launch on the riverside.<br />
The new launch<br />
features parking for vehicles<br />
and trailers, access to a<br />
three-slip boat launch<br />
with two 30-foot docks,<br />
a 100-foot walkway for<br />
staging along a retaining<br />
wall connected to the<br />
information center at the<br />
northeast end of the site<br />
and a separate launch site<br />
for kayaks and canoes.<br />
A pavilion near the<br />
water with restroom<br />
facilities and a fishcleaning<br />
station set back<br />
to the northwest is also<br />
planned. The site is lit by a<br />
combination of tall street<br />
lights in the parking lot<br />
and shorter, solar-powered<br />
Bollard lights along<br />
the sidewalks. Trees<br />
and a berm soften<br />
the transition of<br />
the park space into<br />
the industrial space<br />
behind, where the<br />
Marinette coal docks<br />
and Waupaca Foundry<br />
are located, and a<br />
storm water collection<br />
site features native<br />
plants.<br />
Members of the<br />
Menominee Indian Tribe<br />
of Wisconsin performed a<br />
wild rice planting ceremony<br />
in the harbor prior to<br />
construction, in honor of<br />
the Menominee River, the<br />
birthplace of the tribe.<br />

REC Center<br />
“The<br />
Building a new<br />
recreation center has<br />
been a discussion in<br />
Marinette for more<br />
than a decade, and<br />
the <strong>city</strong> began the<br />
realization of this<br />
dream recently<br />
with the planning<br />
of the ambitious<br />
community project.<br />
Somerville Inc. and U.P. Engineers & Architects Inc. laid<br />
out the plans for the $16 million center in 2016, featuring<br />
three main buildings: A community hall, consisting of space<br />
City of Marinette<br />
is moving forward<br />
with plans to build! The <strong>city</strong> has<br />
committed $16 million to this project.<br />
The 114k square foot facility is designed<br />
to support various sports activities for<br />
every age group. It will also have space<br />
available for concerts, trade shows,<br />
meeting rooms and more! ”<br />
for four separate<br />
courts equipped<br />
for basketball,<br />
volleyball or<br />
tennis; A turf field<br />
surrounded by a<br />
running track an<br />
eighth of a mile<br />
long; And an ice<br />
rink with bleachers<br />
seating equipped<br />
with plenty of storage and<br />
directly adjacent to locker<br />
room areas. The three<br />
buildings are connected by<br />
a main hallway with meeting<br />
rooms, concession stands,<br />
seating areas and plenty of<br />
natural light.<br />
The building site is<br />
located directly to the south<br />
of Marinette High School on<br />
Pierce Avenue. Fundraising<br />
efforts through the M&M<br />
Area Community Foundation<br />
brought in support from all<br />
corners of the region, with<br />
local businesses and private<br />
citizens graciously donating<br />
to the cause. Bay Area Medical<br />
Center (BAMC) of Marinette<br />
and Aurora BayCare Medical<br />
Center of Green Bay were<br />
given the honor of christening<br />
the building: “Community<br />
REC Center — Recreation,<br />
Education, Community.”<br />

MARINETTE HISTORICAL LOGGING MUSEUM<br />
Stephenson Island, 715-732-0831<br />
By Frank Lauerman<br />
Marinette’s Museum is located on Stephenson<br />
Island, a City park, and just off the US Highway 41<br />
Interstate Bridge in downtown.<br />
In addition to our unique outdoor horse-drawn<br />
log display, we feature an authentic 1888 Sawmill<br />
as well as a diorama of a complete lumbering<br />
camp. Our museum is a history lesson of days<br />
gone by as well as our local history. Our Gift Shop<br />
has the only selection of local souvenir postcards,<br />
magnets and books about our history and QUEEN<br />
MARINETTE. Her competence will show you why she<br />
was so much more than the operator of her Trading<br />
Post. Our volunteer tour <strong>guide</strong>s will take you through,<br />
including an example display of her business. We are the<br />
‘LOCAL TREASURE CHEST.’<br />

Who<br />
was Queen<br />
Marinette?<br />
Enjoy it with us!<br />
Both Marinette County<br />
and the City of<br />
Marinette are named<br />
for a shrewd business<br />
woman who lived<br />
a “colorful” life and<br />
bore a “royal” name.<br />
“Queen” Marinette<br />
was not of royal blood<br />
but the granddaughter<br />
of an Indian chief and<br />
the daughter of a French fur<br />
trader named Bartland or<br />
Bartholomew Chevalier.<br />
Marinette Chevalier, whose<br />
first name means “Little<br />
Marie” in French, is believed<br />
to have been in 1793 at<br />
Post Lake, a tributary of the<br />
wandering Peshtigo River,<br />
in what is now known as<br />
Langlade County.<br />
Very little is known of her<br />
early years. Some say her<br />
stately bearing merited<br />
her the nickname of “Queen”.<br />
Others speculate that the name<br />
“Marinette” is a contraction<br />
of Marie Antoinette and that<br />
Queen Marinette bears the<br />
name of the ill-fated consort to<br />
Louis XVI of France. The other<br />
Marie Antoinette was beheaded<br />
in Paris the year that Queen<br />
Marinette was born.<br />
Marinette was wed to John<br />
Jacobs Jr., a Canadian fur trader,<br />
who lived at Mackinac but<br />
bartered with tribes throughout<br />
the region. He had been in her<br />
father’s business as a partner.<br />
It is said that Jacobs abandoned<br />
his wife on one of their trips to<br />
the trading post at Mackinac,<br />
possibly in 1823. Marinette<br />
wasted no time finding a<br />
common-law husband, another<br />
fur trader named William<br />
Farnsworth, by some accounts<br />
her husband’s business partner.

The two returned to the area,<br />
with Farnsworth dividing his<br />
time between the settlement<br />
at Green Bay and the<br />
Menominee River location.<br />
Farnsworth was one of the<br />
two builders of the FIRST<br />
sawmill on the Menominee<br />
River, which left Marinette<br />
to run the trading post on<br />
her own, which she did with<br />
wisdom and shrewdness,<br />
according to most<br />
recollections. She was well<br />
known for her charity work.<br />
While Farnsworth’s mill failed,<br />
his wife thrived. Her home,<br />
several doors east of Hattie<br />
Street Bridge on what is now<br />
called Riverside Avenue in<br />
the City of Marinette, was<br />
a “social” center. It is said<br />
here, both Indian and traders<br />
danced to the fiddle music<br />
played by a man known<br />
HISTORY OF MARINETTE<br />
as Joe Bart, and another<br />
musician named Joe<br />
Therriault.<br />
During her later years, the<br />
business-savvy Marinette<br />
owned a good deal of land in<br />
the heart of town, including<br />
much of Riverside Avenue<br />
and downtown. Some of her<br />
parcels were eventually<br />
sold to<br />
make<br />
way for the<br />
Victorian mansions of<br />
the lumber barons who<br />
ruled the local economy.<br />
She was buried in the old<br />
Allouez Cemetery until her<br />
grave was moved to the<br />
<strong>city</strong> to which she gave<br />
her name.<br />
There is a beautiful decorated<br />
crypt of her, placed inside<br />
the Marinette Mausoleum<br />
on Mary Street.<br />

Marinette, WI – For the first time competitive walleye<br />
anglers will converge on the Green Bay shores at the City<br />

anglers, their families and NWT crew, media and<br />
spectators. We are proud of our community,<br />
knowing that it will provide a memorable<br />
experience for all. We know the fishing is good<br />
and we hope for a successful fishing event.<br />
Come to Marinette and enjoy our hospitality!”<br />
Marinette<br />
selected to host Cabela’s<br />
National Walleye Tournament<br />
“We are very excited to be a part of this<br />
national championship fishing tournament and will show the public all the attractions that<br />
Marinette has to offer its visitors.” said Butch Kostreva, Marinette County Tourism Director.<br />
“This just goes to show that the City of Marinette’s Green Bay waters are one of the hot beds<br />
for walleye fishing not only on a state level but in the nation.”<br />
The Marinette event begins with tournament registration from 2-4 p.m. at a meeting<br />
and banquet on Tuesday, August 15th. Anglers will attempt to qualify by launching out<br />
on Wednesday and Thursday mornings at 7 a.m. from the Menekaunee Harbor Boat<br />

Boats, plus cash is guaranteed for first place in the event. The tournament circuit also<br />
includes unprecedented television and media coverage, allowing a national audience<br />
to watch the action unfold from each event throughout the season. Airing on multiple<br />
networks, the National Walleye Tour will be seen on FOX Sports, and Pursuit Channel, as<br />
well as the NBC Sports Network. “This just proves that Marinette County and the City of<br />
Marinette is Northeastern Wisconsin’s diamond in the rough and one of the top Wisconsin<br />

Fincantieri<br />
Marinette Marine<br />
Fincantieri Marinette Marine was<br />
founded in 1942 along the Menominee<br />
River in Marinette to meet America’s<br />
growing demand for naval construction.<br />
From humble beginnings with a contract<br />
to build five wooden barges, Marinette<br />
Marine has grown into a world-class<br />
shipbuilder, having designed and built<br />
more than 1,500 vessels. The company<br />
currently employs over 2,000 people.<br />
After a $73.5 million capital<br />
expansion program from its Italian<br />
parent company Fincantieri,<br />
the company<br />
now has the<br />
capa<strong>city</strong> to<br />
simultaneously build<br />
six Littoral Combat<br />
Ships (LCS) in serial<br />
production for<br />
the U.S. Navy in<br />
conjunction with<br />
Lockheed<br />
Martin<br />
and<br />
Gibbs & Cox.<br />
In 2016, the U.S.<br />
Navy ordered<br />
construction of<br />
LCS-25, the future<br />
U.S.S. Marinette, to<br />
honor the <strong>city</strong> and<br />
its contributions<br />
to the naval fleet.<br />
Waupaca Foundry<br />
In 1955, Clifford Schwenn purchased<br />
Pearson Foundry Machine Shop and<br />
changed the name to Waupaca Foundry<br />
Inc. During this period the foundry<br />
employed 13 people and poured 2-3<br />
tons daily. Today, Waupaca Foundry has<br />
a melt capa<strong>city</strong> of 10,000 metric tons per<br />
day. The company has since been going<br />
strong for more than 60 years.<br />
Waupaca Foundry Plant 4 is located<br />
on 40 acres in Marinette. The 327,000<br />
square foot building employs more than<br />
750 people.<br />
Industry<br />
Tyco-Johnson<br />
Controls<br />
Marinette’s chemicals company Ansul<br />
began in 1912. It remained independent<br />
until 1978, when it was acquired by<br />
Wormald International, an Australian<br />
corporation. Wormald was in turn<br />
acquired by Tyco International in 1990.<br />
Ansul now exists as a brand of the<br />
Tyco Fire Protection segment of Tyco<br />
International, which merged with<br />
Johnson Controls in 2016.<br />
The company<br />
changed its<br />
name over the<br />
years, but always<br />
kept Ansul as part of<br />
its name. Today, it<br />
manufactures fire<br />
suppression<br />
systems and<br />
extinguishers<br />
and offers<br />
fire training.<br />
Today, the ANSUL<br />
Fire Technology<br />
Center and Center<br />
of Excellence in<br />
Marinette houses one<br />
of the most extensive<br />
fire research and<br />
testing facilities<br />
in the world.<br />
KSU<br />
The KS Kolbenschmidt facility in Marinette<br />
was founded in 1944 as an aluminum<br />
piston manufacturer. Today it is a leading<br />
manufacturer of aluminum and steel<br />
pistons for internal combustion engines<br />
of passenger cars, medium and heavy<br />
duty applications, and is well known<br />
for its advanced piston design and<br />
manufacturing technology for gasoline<br />
and diesel engines.<br />

phase project’s purpose is to rework<br />
the building, which will renovate<br />
about 67,000 square feet of the<br />
existing space and adding close to<br />
14,500 square feet onto the school.<br />
Additions to the campus include<br />
new and expanded space for Health<br />

large outlook. The university<br />

The money for the new<br />
facility comes from the 2015<br />
referendum in NWTC’s district,<br />
encompassing Door, Brown,<br />
Marinette, Florence, Kewaunee and<br />
Oconto counties, which netted<br />
the colleges $66.5 million for<br />
renovations to the Marinette,<br />
Green Bay and Sturgeon<br />
Bay campuses.<br />
enrich their personal and<br />
community lives through<br />
education – taking their first<br />
steps beyond high school, or<br />
exploring later career paths,<br />
UW-Colleges will always strive<br />
to bring close connections<br />
among students, faculty and<br />
community members.<br />
MARINETTE - Bay Area Medical Center is in<br />
the midst of building a brand-new hospital<br />
facility on 90 acres of land it purchased off<br />
University Drive in Marinette.<br />
Groundbreaking was held in May 2016<br />
for the new $135 million project, which<br />
BAMC has partnered with Aurora Health<br />
Care to construct.<br />
The site will become home to a new,<br />
three-story hospital with an expanded<br />
Emergency Department, a Regional<br />
Cancer Care Center, a new Women’s<br />
Health Center, private patient rooms,<br />
cardiology services and physician’s<br />
offices. At the same time the new hospital<br />
is being built, the Aurora Bay Area Health<br />
Center on Old Peshtigo Road is being<br />
remodeled to accommodate offices<br />
for primary care physicians, X-ray and<br />
laboratory services.<br />
At the groundbreaking ceremony<br />
in 2016, Tony Furton, chairman of the<br />
BAMC board of directors, said the<br />
board had spent “nearly a decade”<br />
working toward this day.<br />
Health Care<br />
Bay Area Medical Center<br />
“Good things come to those who wait,” he said,<br />
providing a historical look back on the creation of the<br />
original Marinette General Hospital in the 1930s and<br />
the major renovations that followed in the 1970s.<br />
Furton said plans for major changes<br />
discussed in 2007 were derailed with the<br />
recession and revisited in 2011.<br />
Furton said that bonding has helped pay for<br />
some of the project, but the majority of the funding<br />
has come from BAMC and Aurora. There is no cost<br />
to taxpayers for the construction.<br />
“As everybody knows, the health care landscape<br />
is changing rapidly. Our board is very proud of the<br />
way we have anticipated those changes,”<br />
Furton said. “We’re confident<br />
in the<br />

decisions that we have made and are<br />
excited about what the future holds for the<br />
community.”<br />
The final steel beam was put in place<br />
at the facility in December, in a ceremony<br />
called “topping out,” when ironworkers<br />
from Boldt Co., the general contractor,<br />
secured the last beam at the highest point<br />
of the construction project.<br />
Marinette General Hospital, which<br />
was built in the 1930s, is the current home<br />
of BAMC, a nonprofit entity that was formed in 1985<br />
with the merger of MGH with Menominee County-<br />
Lloyd Hospital.<br />
Boldt worked throughout the winter, along<br />
with subcontractors, to enclose the Medical Office<br />
Building and start interior work on the adjacent<br />
hospital structure.<br />
By April <strong>2017</strong>, much of the exterior brick work<br />
had been completed on the MOB, and a crew of<br />
about 175 workers were busy completing scheduled<br />
tasks throughout the work site.<br />
Work will continue on the facility<br />
throughout <strong>2017</strong>, with completion planned<br />
for August 2018.<br />

Coming in 2018<br />
Transforming Local Healthcare<br />
Bay Area Medical Center and Aurora Health Care are following a vision<br />
to create a community beacon that enhances patient experience, creates<br />
a healthcare destination of choice, and is a leader for wellness.<br />
As we work to transform our community’s healthcare landscape, we<br />
are excited about the possibilities this will bring to our patients, their<br />
families, our employers, and the community.<br />
This project will be the single largest investment in healthcare in our<br />
community’s history. It is being built not just for us but for our children<br />
and the generations that follow.
