BREAD IN THE BONES
When I was diagnosed with osteopenia a few years ago, I said to my doctor, "What is THAT?' and she told me my bones were getting thinner, but I didn't yet have osteoporosis.
This seemed strange. With all those years of biking and swimming and more recently taking walks as exercise, how could I be verging towards osteoporosis? My mother had never broken a bone, and my only fractured bones were in my foot when it was crushed between my bicycle wheel and cement. I suddenly felt very fragile, was nervous about biking and all the other activities that might be bone-breakers.

THE LIVES OF TREES
Adolph loves to turn the life around him into more permanent forms. In New York City he watched pedestrians on rainy city streets, eaters at Horn and Hardart’s Automat, the chaos of Herald Square, and created works of art.
In Milwaukee since 1966, he’s continued to document daily life, at the Oriental Pharmacy Lunch Counter
and Benjy’s Kosher Deli, in movie houses, in back yards. He’s sculpted family, friends, students, strangers, dogs, ducks, cows, whoever inspires him.
Open Book closing in Shorewood
Open Book, the bookstore co-op that opened in Shorewood last fall, will close by April 30, the store's directors said Friday.
The shop opened in November in the N. Oakland Ave. space previously occupied by the Harry W. Schwartz Bookstore. The organizers raised money from local residents and also secured a low-interest $35,000 loan from the village.
Open Book to Close: Nonprofit Governance Would have Helped
I am sad that Open Book is closing, because it is one of the great walking destinations with kids that our much-touted Walking Community can sport.
However, I am not surprised - as many know, I was leery from the start. I have a newly minted M.S. in Nonprofit Management and I feel like the ambassador for nonprofits right now. Open Book was not a nonprofit entity, so please don't let this experience sully your feelings about "NONprofits." Nonprofit organizations need to serve a mission, do not pocket profits from membership "donations" and provide a tax deductible option for those donations. They have boards that are responsible for the entity. I strongly feel that if Open Book had engaged a true nonprofit board, which would have empowered the strong volunteer and make-it-work mentality of the community, Open Book would be going strong.
New National Pastime - Creating Foundations to Fund Public Schools
Talked to my dad today - their superintendent in Tucson is moving to Denver to be the superintendent there - apparently the state shortfall is only $1,000,000 instead of $1,000,000,000. Kind of puts Shorewood's woes in perspective - money is crazy short all over, and based on the state funding formula and politics, can be worse in certain areas.
What do we do? In communities that can look to residents for more support, there is the referendum vehicle. There are private donations that will slowly move towards donations for students instead of graduates, which will thwart more donations for graduates to use towards college.
