I just wanted you all to know I do not post on this site any longer. Jakefest Inc. I disbanded years ago. All new posts are from Robert Hansen. He was our MC for many of the festivals. Still many pics to enjoy on this site.

If you are a U.S. veteran in need of support, help is just a call away. You are not alone.

Call the Veterans Crisis Lie at 988. then press 1.

I do not make this post lightly and normally would not put an organization down but this is very close to me and I feel is disgusting.

Today the Green Bay Press Gazette, owned by Gannet Media terminated one of its carriers of five years. The background here is that this carrier did five routes for them despite being disabled with diabetes and quite recently contracted covid on Sep 9th and even ended up in the ER on the 10th

He has constantly been advising the press gazette with updates and given them a doctors letter and had the following communications from the company

Wed 15th - Hope everyone is feeling better. I need to know if you will be back on Monday so I can plan for next week

Wed 15th - We cannot keep your routes in your name any longer

Fri 17th - We have terminated your contracts

Clearly this organization has no compassion or caring about the carrier or it’s customer base most of whom are elderly. This carrier has worked everyday through the pandemic even taking on extra routes for the company when needed.

How many of Gannets carriers are out there with covid being forced to deliver papers to our elderly. Should the Green Bay Gazette be allowed to act in this way. How many carriers in Green Bay are being forced to spread covid because of the inept management of the Green Bay Gazette.

Please share to show your support for the carrier and to highlight the abuse of the Green Bay Press Gazette and Gannett Media.

Hi Jakefest fans

On the anniversary of past Jakefests I have been sitting thinking of all the people involved putting everything together and everyone that attended and supported us.

Sadly we have had some great friends pass but I am so proud to have been asked to MC the event each year. The great community of Redgranite came together and everyone helped to make a difference.

I had so much fun and I cherish the great memories and friendships made.

Happy Jakefest day to everyone and happy fathers day to all the dads out there.

I am currently in London UK sitting eating breakfast when I see a story on ABC Channel 2 about people complaining that the village is too strict on the quarry hours.

After Jake lost his too short life in the quarry, the then police chief was actively trying to close the quarry. Now as a person originally from the UK where swimming in flooded quarries is illegal and banned I would normally have supported his actions, but having been a resident of Redgranite at this point for 6 years I saw the value of the quarry.

I argued various points to the village board at the time. If the quarry closed it would needed to be fenced in at a cost, the fence would have to be maintained at a cost and more important people would sneak in and if they got into trouble then they may not get help or be too scared to.

The compromise was to set a closing time that has been in force since that time, a rule in place now over a decade and people are now complaining.

2015 was a bad year for the quarry but the increased policing and curfew as well as the structural changes to the quarry has in my opinion saved lives. Though I am no longer a Redgranite resident the village will always be a part of me thanks to the many friendships I made there when I arrived in the US.

I personally wish to thank the village board for continuing to allow people to enjoy the quarry and for the due diligence of law enforcement in their efforts to keep YOU safe. Rules are there for a reason and if you dont like them go elsewhere. As a closing thought I wonder what the reaction of the people complaining about the rules if the rules were not in place and they lost a loved one in the quarry.

I'd like to take a minute to give thanks to all of you who have helped in so many ways throughout the years. As a community we have all worked together to make lives a little easier and hardships a little easier to bear. With that in mind, my thoughts are with Dave Lucussen and his family at Sentry foods here in Redgranite. We have all noticed in recent months their struggle to continue serving our area. We believe with all of our help they can continue doing just that. Please take time and stop. Do your shopping for the holidays right here in Redgranite. Keep it local! The more people that stand with them the better our chances at keeping this grocery store open. I realize not all products can be found here at this time. But many are available. Let's help ourselves and our neighbors! Shop at Lucussens Sentry in Redgranite!
