>> so many answers to that. i love it. first up today, at 430 miles the wisconsin river is the longest river in the entire state. don't you wonder why would a guy want to travel down it, on a standup inflatable, inflatable? paddle board by himself. >> we're here with the filmmaker jesse hieb and jimmy sammarco welcome to the morning blend. you got your subforce national sandwich day. breakfast today. >> neither did i so that's good. >> you got in touch with me a while ago. you were like check this out i'm doing this thing. i was like are you crazy get in touch with me if you actually do it. tell us first of all, what type of craft do you use to traverse the entire length of the river. >> i use an inflatable paddle board made by board works. it's called the raven. it is 12 feet >> not super big. >> no. although, i mean, about appropriate. right. and, i mean, just the right size to carry all of my gear. it was about 70 pounds of gear hi to have on there. so, yeah, it did it's job. and, you know, i decided to go with an inflatable because there is actually rapids on the wisconsin river and taking a hard board down something like that would be a disaster. >> not work. to do it? >> yup. >> did you get often off the board or did you stay on the board? >> absolutely not. this was an enjoyable trip. >> it wasn't you growing your beard out like forrest gump style paddling down the river? >> [laughter] >> no i camped out at night. i had some interesting experiences like i actually slept in a tree house one night. hi to put up my ham -- i had to put my trees. >> do you have a emo. >> yes i do. >> it is like nylon you put between trees. >> that is street cred right there. >> that's a great compliment i like that. >> i always wonder what people eat on a trip like that. did you carry with you everything you ate for 21 days? >> yeah, so i had to actually plan to do it in 17 days so i with a scoop of protein, lunch was tortillas with peanut butter and dinner was rice and beans. so all of that for 17 days, pretty boring, and, very like limited. >> yeah. >> before we get to you jimmie i want to hear your role in all of this stuff. did you partner with a nonprofit like what was the purpose of this voyage? >> yes, so, when i set out to do this i called up the river allian are incredible. awesome organization that does freshwater all over the state. and they told me this story about wisconsin river the history of how it used to be extremely polluted and thousands of people working together over the course of the last 40 years to make it what it was now. i had no idea. the more they told me about that story the more i was convinced that it was something that needed to be shared. i thought what better way to do it than experience the whole story of revitalization that way. >> did you go pro it? >> yeah so, i go proked a lot of the stuff. fairly limited. you are surrounded with sand and water. >> jimmie where do come in would you meet up with him at different times of the day or evening? >> no we just connected recently on linked in. production and he told me about this story and i was immediately fascinated because, environmental issues have been real big deal for me lately, and he told me what had happened and i couldn't believe the story was actually real. that industries would clean up their act and actually change freshwater river from where you can't even eat the fish out of it to totally clean. and i was just amazed by the story and i always wanted to be part ever it i asked if i could >> people know that you do a lot of work in town. they have seen you on the blend before with the surface. you have walked with water filming stuff before. >> absolutely yeah. >> i was going to say for someone to reach out to you how much better could it be than having jimmie go hey do you want a little help? >> oh, yeah, jimmie is one of my heros so. >> question for you, when you're on the river did you see pollution? was there a lot of pollution you still saw? >> there is still a little bit. you know, a lot of it right now, most of it comes right. so that's the big issue with the wisconsin river. fighting those issues. for the last 40 years they have been fighting point source pollution which is stuff that comes from municipalities or industries that maybe are dumping pollution in right. but, so they have really cleaned that up and done a lot of great stuff with that. now it's the stuff we don't think about right? so that's what is going on now. >> so are you working on this documentary. how can people see it, be part familiar with the concept that documentaries cost a lot of money to produce, but usually the people who make them don't have a lot of cash. >> that sounds about right. [laughter] >> all or nothing. >> people can follow the website sign up for updates if they go to gone paddling the film.com. they can also follow on facebook and we actually have a indy go go campaign to help raise funds to support us actually doing this. there is still a few interviews we some funding to take care of that. >> that's great. jesse and jimmie thanks for being here. >> thanks for having us. >> enjoy your subs. >> breakfast. >> happy sandwich day. we have a whole lot more coming up on today's show. from emotional issues to fizz physical ones. help for new moms. still ahead how to make the process of choosing a plan during open enrollment easier. two hospital employees on a mission to bring comfort to love that cover. this is the november issue of metroparent magazine. we're going to chat about two of the features today. process to your kids and the other the fourth trimester of pregnancy. the magazine offers advice how to cope. >> i like to think i'm still in my fourth trimester. even though my youngest is only 14. here with metroparent is amy schwabe. we were laughing in our office about explaining the election to kids because it's like really? how do you explain this school though. there i got an email from my daughter's third grade teacher asking we not talk about politics too much because the kids they hear what you are even if you are not talking to them they are hearing it and talking about it at school. >> i totally get that. >> it can be a confusing process even for adults on how it works. how do you even start talking about it to kids? >> i think one of and what laurie beard the writer who idea of the voting process and the government verses politics. >> good idea. >> so basically explaining to kids, this is our systemf government, this is how the election works, and then maybe trying to keep the more emotional issues of politics out of it a little bit. >> that's probably hard for some parents though. >> absolutely. it's important that kids know that even after all of the craziness and all of the drama dies down after the politic it, that you know we're going to have a president for four years, and this is the way our system works and everything will die down and it will be okay. >> uh-huh. i like that idea that the government goes on regardless of who is eventually elected. and sometimes i think taking the personalities out of it a little bit because there are some really important work that the president of our country needs to do. think that's a great concept and a great article i would think for all of us to read. because regardless of their age, it gets easier, but that is not necessarily the case. i like that. let's talk about the fourth trimester health issues. here's something i think a lot of women they look at fashion magazines or see celebrities and see their body bounce back in three weeks. the reality is you are pregnant for nine months your body and emotions and mental state go through a lot of really huge changes. i think sometimes people are not patient with themselves and they have expectationses after the baby is born. and that's what the writer this article said, you know, we have to be gentle with ourselves and we have to be gentle with other moms like you said just because maybe your friends bounced back quickly, first of all that might not be true there is other stuff that might be going on that you don't know about and second of all everybody is different and we need to realize that that's okay. >> uh-huh. i really love the topic because we have so many new mom who is are home that watch the morning blend or who are just about to do you cover in this metroparent met? >> a lot of what we talk about is the adjustment period. you might think i'm not pregnant anymore, now, i can bounce right back, but that's, you have a brand-new baby you have no sleep and a lot of times you have older children that you are trying to adjust things to. so just, being gentle with yourself like i said and really taking the time to whole family, to things like -- >> big adjustment. i think after my oldest was born, and there was a lot of information even at that time, 17 plus years ago about postpartum depression and the blues. i would tell people i don't have postpartum i just cry all the time you know. [laughter] >> it's like oh, maybe i do. >> you know you should be happy because you're so excited to have this baby. guilty a lot of the times if you don't feel all of the sudden just euphoric. >> social media doesn't help that. i think it's amazing so many women i have talked to that have had babies, the fact it's not always what you expected. maybe you don't bond right away with that baby. maybe it's not as happy as you thought it would be and that's okay. you just have to be gentle with yourself. >> some of the doctors that she talked to as well, pointed that out. month, every few weeks for the past nine months you don't have to disappear if you need help come we're here for you. >> i love this contest you have going on. this is a great way to celebrate the moments. the contest applies from newborns to 12 years. >> oh, 12 years. >> so, you're asking people to enter photographs and no more than ten. right? so, and this is to be the cover of the magazine right? this year too. it's not for every cover it's probably like 6 to 9 of the month we use for the winners of the cover kid contest. they get the photo shoot and it's a lot of fun and then they get to see themselves on the cover of the magazine. >> all right. >> sounds great. i love that. people need to enter now, by going to metroparent.com/cover kid. now again no more than ten photos, one envelope per family, find out more online at that website we just gave you metroparent.com/cover kid. can you find this issue, talk to your kids about politics a lot of great information about the fourth trimester and health issues by going to metroparent magazine.com. >> always great to see you. good information. happy sandwich day. >> i'm going to have a sandwich. [laughter] >> absolutely. still ahead if you're not going to the doctor type of person we'll show you a story you're not going to want to miss about how a house call may have saved a man's life. russ: as i've traveled to all 72 counties, sowers, knitters and crocheter, i've heard from a lot of people. including seniors, concerned that ron johnson is going to turn medicare into a voucher program. senior: don't let it happen russ. russ: i've heard from families in need of good paying jobs. blue collar guy: ron johnson's trade deals help other countries, not us. russ: the bottom line - people want an economy that delivers for them. man: we just need a fair shake, and, russ, i think you need a bigger van. russ: i'm russ feingold welcome back. an organization called operation chemo comfort plans to deliver 1,000 hand sewen scarfs and knitted hats to cancer patients this december, but they could use a little help. this project, carrie o'connor and kelsey lexow and mini cornejo with apcd after breast cancer diagnosis. welcome to the morning blend you guys. >> thank you. thank you for having us. >> this is so great you have some of the stuff you are working on doing a little crocheting. i think this is a wonderful project you are doing. talk about how it got started and exactly what you're doing. >> well, it all started with a patient of ours who is enrolled in a clinical trial cancer stage 4. >> you both work at the medical college. >> yes. we're in the cancer center and this woman touched our hearts so much. because despite having all of this adversity, she put together these huge tote bags filled with blankets and crossword puzzles and water and certificates to restaurants and we were like oh, my gosh. something. >> what is our excuse. >> yeah. >> what a neat thing. someone going through cancer having her own battle decided to make all of these wonderful gifts for others who were going through the same thing. >> right. >> that motivated you guys to do -- >> right. >> so we started this initiative earlier in the year, started off small, we had 250 hats. we had gift certificates from vend split it between two organizations abcd after breast cancer diagnosis and sisters for cure. >> talk about how abcd uses these sorts of gifts and what they mean for the people. we have been out to abcd with coffee on us before and really seen how important these items truly do comfort cancer patients. >> absolutely. to me it's more than the hat. are getting it at a time that is probably the most difficult time in their life. it gives them a sign of hope and to know that they are not alone. you know someone actually went out, they bought the yarn, they made it, they took time and i come from a family of seamstresses and knitters and crocheters my grandma is going blind and she can still count and knit. it's also t therapeutic for the person making it. it shows hope and to know the through cancer. >> have you a goal of having 1,000 this year. you have what currently? >> right now we're at 250, but we believe that if we get the community involved, we can definitely make the 1,000 goal. we have a high volume. but i want to make it clear it's not just 1,000 a number. when i crochet, i crochet for my aunt who died for lung cancer, patients, we're very conscious that each of these is going to someone in particular. >> absolutely. >> i love that you offer up patterns for people. you take yarn and fabric donations as well for people who maybe don't know how to knit or crochet or sow, but want to be part of it. you're having a huge event a sew-a-thon. saturday the 19th. what will be happening that day? how do people take part in it? >> if they go to our facebook page they willee they will be able to register for that. we can only accommodate 16 people in this specific sewing studio it is the mke fashion incubator. those that cannot join us we encourage them to in spirit join us at home. these are simple scarfs to make. it's just double sided we can pop them out pretty easily. >> yeah. >> we're looking forward to it. a skein of yarn can be as low as $3. a lot of times it takes a couple skeins to make a scarf or hat. what are you both making here? >> i'm making a hat. i am actually -- >> i love that color. >> it's actually with two separate yarns which were from a local shop in greenfield. it's just a plain hat with ribbing at the brim and then lovely hat right here. >> these are beautiful. >> aren't they? >> yeah. >> everything is handmade. >> yup. >> i think it's so generous and wonderful for people and what are you making? >> this is just a simple crochet this is half double crochet cap. i can pop one of these out in two hours. >> that's great. >> yeah. >> this is her 94th hat. >> oh, my gosh. [laughter] >> seriously. >> yeah. >> just for this drive. >> wonderful. so many people at home love to get involved in knitting and crocheting and sewing projects here. operation chemo comfort has a sew-a-thon going on saturday the 19th at the milwaukee fashion incubator sewing space. you can accommodate 16 people there. if you can't make it or if you are not part of that 16, please do it at home, you will pick up scarfs, here's the phone number to do that. scarfs and hats at (414)708-7040 you can mail them to the address on your screen there is a dropoff location at patched work and cream city yarn. you will take donations of fabric and yarn due the first week of december. your goal of hitting 1,000 i think we have a lot of people that can help you with that. >> thank you so much. >> thank you so much. >> still ahead why it is expected there might be one and a half million unfilled tech jobs in the next few years. and why medicare advantage welcome back. seniors and other people enrolled in medicare have not one, but two very important elections to consider this fall. here with advice for at least one of those elections is christopher abbott the ceo of retirement in wisconsin. we won't talk about that other election right? >> no that one is a little contentious this year, but you're absolutely right. if you are on medicare you actually have the chance to vote twice this year. so, after next week's presidential election, as a medicare eligible, it is time for you to elect your misdemeanor care coverage for temperature. 2017. it started october 15. it runs through until december 7. so there is a chance or there is a shopping those medicare candidates. this is typically the only time of the year when you can change your plan, and it's important to do that because the plans change, your situation changes, you want to make sure your vote counts. because, the coverage that you have impacts your health, impacts your wallet next year. having the right one is really important. >> think so too. i think it's interesting you make it sound like a vote because you are electing your and it is something you should be looking at each year. so medicare open enrollment can be confusing for a lot of people. they get a lot of information thrown at them. what do you offer to people to sort of help make it easier to make that decision. >> it is important that you take a look at what is going on. again as i said because things change in your life, the plans change, think of it in three ways look at choice, look at care, look at experience. medicare is not a one size fits all. people have differe plans you can choose from can be significantly different. start first by looking at what it is you have today. if you have a medicare advantage plan right now, you received annual notice of change kit, in the middle of september, i want to make sure people didn't throw it in the recycling it looks like a gigantic catalog. they should have looked at it. made sure they understand what is going on with their plans. the next thing is look at your finances, and your health. fits your wallet. part of that is looking beyond just premiums so look at your deductibles, your plan has one, copayments, coinsurance, is your plan affordable. then when you think about the care part of that you want to look at the doctors and hospitals i want to see are they part of my plan? can i go there? one of the great things about united healthcare here in the milwaukee area, all of the hospitals in the area are part of our program. so the doctors you see now, the continue to be able to do that with united healthcare in 2017. >> i know you also suggest thinking through is coverage of hearing important to you? what about dental? what about vision three really important things to consider and then the experiences are you looking for something are you, do you have a plan that is going to help you achieve your health goals? >> i think that's in fact one of the most important parts. so two things we're doing at united healthcare to make sure people have a positive outcome and a positive experience. sneakers program. if we can help our members get up, get active, build their strength, flexibility and balance they do better. no one does well after falling and as we get older the risk gets higher. the other thing we do that is unique to our program is we're going to have our house calls program. that is our advance practice nurses going to the homes of our members doing an assessment making sure their care is absolutely on track. it's an amazing program that they have they don't anything extra for this. >> it's amazing i love the story you shared with us. speaking of house calls there is paul's story. >> paul is actually lives here in the local area. he is really kind of a our national unofficial spokes person for how great house calls works. he is not going to the doctor guy. he kind of admitted to this. we finally convinced him with his wife's health to have one of our nurses come to his house, check him out. quickly identified he had very significant blood pressure doctor right away. as part of that process, unfortunately, discovered he had lung cancer. but, the good news of that because we got him in, he was able to go through treatment, he is well, he very much credits the fact that united healthcare and our house calls program help save his life. that's the kind of thing you want to look at when shopping for medicare. >> absolutely. there are four different parts i don't know if you feel you can pl we want to share the contact information for people to get more info. >> very little changing next year. ton have part a the hospital portion, part b the doctor portion. medicare part c, we put those two things together. we add the prescription drug benefit part d. we continue to be able to add additional benefits like hearing aids, vision, dental, additional preventive services to help our members live a healthier life. and frequently, they are not planned premium for that. >> that's incredible to think about all of those things those are important the hearing, the vision those key parts. thank you so much chris for sharing this information. important time right now for people who are on medicare and looking at your plan in electing your coverage are people soon going to be new to medicare. call this toll free number for more information it is (800)991-6872. or tty is 711. you can go to uhc medicare as well. always great to see you. thank you so much. up next on the show kids as young as 3 being able to code unbelievable. we'll tell you about a fun local event designed to grab 'em by the p****". when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. more accusers coming forward to say they were sexually assaulted by donald trump. i'll go backstage before a show... yes.. and everyone's getting dressed. donald trump walked into the dressing room while contestants, some as young as 15 were changing. standing there with no clothes. you see these incredible looking women. she ate like a pig. a person who's flat-chested is very hard to be a 10. do you treat women with respect? uh... i can't say that either. alright, good. an economy rigged for the wealthy. and ron johnson's made it worse. johnson took a shady $10 million corporate payout, and voted to protect corporate tax loopholes for companies shipping wisconsin jobs overseas, supported privatizing social security, which would hand billions to wall street, and wants to eliminate the federal minimum wage. senator johnson works for wall street, not us. senate majority pac is responsible listen to this, according to the bureau of labor, it's estimated in the will be 1.5 million u.s. technology jobs, that will go unfilled due to the lack of available talent. trying to help answer this call barnes and noble stores across the country are hosting minute maker fares. joining us now to help get an idea of what to expect as these fairs is kathleen campsiano vp of toys and games for barnes and noble. good morning kathleen. >> good morning tiffany. thanks for having me. >> absolutely. i had not heard of this. this is barnes and noble second it was a huge success last year. talk a little bit about what it is and what we can expect this year. >> yes, so a maker fair is a place where we actually invite the community of makers into our local barnes and noble across the country. with we're doing is inviting in educators and artists and inventors and they are coming in, they are demonstrating their products, they are allowing collaborate in space, and so barnes and noble is so proud to host this kind of event getting everybody very comfortable with technology, and actually making technology more accessible. >> well i think it's fascinating to hear there is going to be 1.5 million tech jobs that will go unfilled just because there is a lack of people. i think getting people excited, learning more about tech jobs, what will people experience and see when they go? >> yes, so what they are going to experience is three unique things in the store. the first is meet the makers and that's kind of like a tech talk if you will. the second is the make and collaborate station, this is where customers are going to be able to roll up their sleeves, get very active in the art of making. and we're going to be supplying those materials, it will be lego bricks, it will be little bit circuitry. materials and so all of that will be available for them to really have a first hand experience. the third station, this is the showcase. this is where we are going to introduce them to technologies like 3-d printing. virtual reality where we're going to show them how their every day cellphone through the ease of downloading and app, can reality experience. it is like nothing you have ever seen and there are a myriad of apps for taking them on great adventures. there is other things too that you will see in the make works phase, pen and vent technology. there is certainly going to be a lot of mechanical and motorized opportunities and our dash robot here is actually taking 3-year-olds on a journey, through coding, programming, all the way up to 8 to 12 years of age. early of stuff will be available to experience and it is not just for kids it really is for kids and adults to share. >> i'm glad you mentioned some ages because that's what i was really wondering what types of ages. you mentioned 3-year-olds, you mentioned 8 to 12-years-olds does this go up to teens? what are the go goals what are y hoping to accomplish? >> yeah, it be absolutely goes up to teens it's adults. i'm certainly not a teen anymore, and i will be i think the beauty of that is this kind of cross pollinating across the ages. so the young ones as we know they do not have an intimidation to technology. they jump right in. right. so the ease of which, and the fun, of which they are able to engage with technology, actually encourages adults to say well wait a minute, if a 3-year-old can do it maybe i can get into this right? so i love the beauty of the cross aging, so that we together. our objective is just that, it is tech literacy. we believe that technology is the language of the 21st century and everybody needs to be versed in it. >> thanks so much for joining us kathleen. we're going to give the website barnes and noble.com. so people can find out more about the maker fair locally. thanks so much. >> thank you tiffany. let's head over to molly. tiff thanks. a civilian career and some i'm hillary clinton and i approve this message. donald trump: i could stand in the middle of 5th avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters, okay? and you can tell them to go f--- themselves! you know, you could see there was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever... you gotta see this guy. ahh, i don't know what i said, ahh. "i don't remember." johnson: i've always said i'll be the calmest guy on my election night. i win either way. narrator: if he loses, senator johnson has the ten-million-dollar corporate payout he gave himself. or johnson stays in washington, fighting against any federal minimum wage and for tax loopholes that benefit millionaires -- like himself. rigging the system at our expense. to fight for us: russ feingold. he listens and he's on our side. russ: i'm russ feingold and i approve this message because we don't need an economy that works only for ceo's welcome back to the morning blend. according to a new survey four in ten veterans say military experience did not help them with their civilian career which is why so many of them are seeking higher education. unique challenges that veterans face is garland williams an academic dean with the university of phoenix along with naval veteran krishna jackson. good morning to you both. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> great to have both of you joining us. let's talk a little bit about this issue and why so many veterans are choosing to pursue an advanced education. >> well molly the one thing that is consistent and constant about military career isha either you are going to retire or going to get out by choice and you need to transition to something else. now unfortunately, a lot of us in the military are type a personalities and we're really hard on our military job right until the end and have not made any transition plans. i advocate you start looking at that two years out from your transition and take a look at your educational skills and see if you need to upgrade those a little bit. take a look at your military skills and see how you translate on day one you are ready to go when they offer you a job. >> talk about education and training helps veterans to achieve their career goals or move it forward? >> well for me, as a naval veteran who served about 20 years in the navy as a combat photographer, and a public affairs specialist, some of those skills i learned in the navy didn't easily tns not only that, you know, in the field of communications, a bachelor's degree pretty much is absolutely necessary. so, i couldn't rely on my military experience alone. so i had to pursue a higher education especially since i had a family to support, you know i'm a single mom, i had a daughter, but then i took on my mom and nephew and the ability exponentially. so i had to really think about what my options were and pursuing a higher education was really the way to go to help me make the kind of money i needed to support a family of four. >> did you continue doing something in photography based on your military experience and what you were doing during that service?
