Logo contest for city's newest festival now accepting hand-drawn entries

From Staff Reports, USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin Published 2:07 p.m. CT Oct. 7, 2019

FOND DU LAC – The public is invited to put their creative prowess to the test and submit a hand-drawn logo for the city’s newest event Spark: A Graphic and Interactive Arts Festival set to begin next year.

The official contest launched in September requires that participants submit their logo ideas in a vector format, but, thanks to the help of the Moraine Park Technical College Graphics Club, hand-drawn submissions can be converted to the file format and entered into the contest, according to a press release from Spark Festival Coordinator Ellen Balthazor.

The logo must align with the festival’s purpose of providing both locals and visitors an educational and entertaining adventure, as well as an opportunity to showcase their interactive and graphic arts talents. The festival is set to be held Aug. 21 to 23, 2020 and will feature animation, apps, arts, board games, comics, graffiti, graphic novels, posters, tattoos, web design and video games, according to the release.

Events will be held at Children’s Museum of Fond du Lac, Downtown Fond du Lac Partnership businesses and galleries, Fond du Lac Public Library, Moraine Park Technical College, Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts and other venues.

Only one hand-drawn entry may be submitted per person, and the logo committee has the right to make changes to the submission when converting the logo into a vector format, according to the release.

Submitters should mail their hand-drawn colored or black and white logos to Spark at PO Box 1705, Fond du Lac, WI, 54935-1705 and have entries postmarked no later than Nov. 7, according to the release. Contestants under the age 18 need to submit a signed permission slip with the phone number of a parent or guardian.

A volunteer committee will evaluate logo designs and reveal the winner in Feburary 2020, according to the release. For more information on Spark and the contest, visit sparkgraphicartsfestival.com (https://www.sparkgraphicartsfestival.com).

Many of Wisconsin's 23,000 prison inmates will eventually be released. A new program tries to get more ready for the world of work, including the training of some women to be welders. WUWM Innovation Reporter Chuck Quirmbach reports.

Many of Wisconsin's 23,000 prison inmates will eventually be released. A new program tries to get more ready for the world of work, including training some women at Taycheedah Correctional Institution to be welders.

The women's prison near Fond du Lac also has a new state-staffed job center, which helps inmates search for work. The Evers administration says similar job centers (https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/dwd/newsreleases/2019/190403_new_hope_frostman.htm) are coming to two Milwaukee-area correctional facilities by the end of 2019.

Most of the welding instruction at Taycheedah takes place in a new truck trailer called the Welding Mobile Lab. The Department of Corrections (https://doc.wi.gov/Pages/Home.aspx) and Department of Workforce Development (https://dwd.wisconsin.gov/default.htm) recently brought the trailer to the prison and contracted with Moraine Park Technical College (http://morainepark.edu) to provide teaching.

During a tour for the news media, inmate and student Miranda Watermolen stood in a welding booth, wearing protective gear. Sparks were flying as she connected two pieces of metal.

Outside the trailer, Watermolen says that as she's as taken part in the 2 1/2-month training program and become more skilled, welding has become attractive.

"I love how primal it is. How hands on, and hot and dirty. I like to be that woman, working in a man's world, in all reality," Watermolen said.

Federal data show that if Watermolen gets a job in welding, she'd be entering a profession about 95% male. But the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the number of welding jobs will continue to grow, and that women will get some of the work.

After being in Taycheedah for 19 months on a drug conviction, Watermolen's ready for a new start.

"Drugs were a heavy part of my life and it's something I'm really looking forward to putting behind me with this," she says. "It's something I've always wanted to do. My brother was a welder. I really looked up to him. He had everything he ever wanted, and finally, I was like, 'This is my opportunity. This is my chance at a new life right here — because I can't fail after this.' "

Watermolen is scheduled to be released from Taycheedah early next year.

Another welding program graduate, Amanda Franzen, is due to be released this fall. Franzen says learning the trade makes her feel empowered.

"It wasn't something I ever thought I'd be doing. Like the blueprint readings, that was hard. But I have a knack for it. I'm like, 'All right, I can do this.' Welding is fun. Just being able to lay a nice bead, putting things together. It was really cool," Franzen said.

Franzen is at Taycheedah for parole violations after a conviction for theft. She and the other handful of welding graduates will get job search help at the prison's new job center before getting out.

During the media visit to the center, soon-to-be-released inmate Kayleigh Selig was filling out a job application. She's not a welder. She has experience in factory jobs and the restaurant industry, but she's pretty flexible on her next line of work.

Selig, originally in prison for a drug violation, says the Job Center has helped her with her resume, and with mock interviews. She says she's pretty confident about leaving Taycheedah with a job waiting.

I'm not just leaving with nothing and starting fresh out there," Selig said.

Selig says the prison's social workers saw her potential and chose her for the job assistance. But she says too many inmates do leave prison with nothing.

Two more are scheduled to be added soon — at the Milwaukee Women's Center, and the Ellsworth Correctional Center near Union Grove.

But there are more than 23,000 state inmates. Many will eventually be released.

Plus, even if more are hired, there is the stark issue of recidivism. A 2016 study

(https://doc.wi.gov/DataResearch/InteractiveDashboards/RecidivismAfterReleaseFromPrison.pdf) showed 25-30% of former Wisconsin inmates commit a new offense resulting in a conviction and prison sentence within three years of release. State Corrections Secretary-designee Kevin Carr says a good job can make a dent in those numbers.

"I can certainly tell you that when a person has the opportunity for employment that provides for a family- supporting job and gives them a sense of self-worth, that is really important for personal growth.
