Bordering neighborhoods[edit]
- Brownsville and Canarsie are neighborhoods that are located to the west of East New York.
- Woodhaven, Ozone Park and the Lindenwood section of Howard Beach are neighborhoods in the borough of Queens that are located to the east of East New York.
A chain of hills, geologically a terminal moraine, separates northwestern Long Island from Jamaica and the Hempstead Plains, the main part of Long Island's fertile outwash plain. One low spot in the chain passed a few 18th Century roads, including the ferry road or Palmer Turnpike from Brooklyn to Jamaica, hence it was called "Jamaica Pass". During the American Revolutionary War invading British and Hessian soldiers ended an all-night march at this pass in August 1776 to surprise and flank General George Washington and the Continental Army, to win the Battle of Long Island.
In the middle 19th century the road between Brooklyn and Jamaica became the Brooklyn and Jamaica Plank Road. The New York and Manhattan Beach Railway (1877) and the Long Island Rail Road (1878) were also built through the pass. The point where they met was called Broadway Junction. As often happened at 19th century railroad junctions, a railway town arose. Sprawling development into recently rustic northern part of the Town of New Lots followed the reach of elevated transit lines into the area: the Jamaica Avenue Line in 1885 and the Fulton Street Line in 1889. The road to Brooklyn was renamed Fulton Street, the one to Jamaica, Jamaica Avenue and the one to Williamsburg, Broadway.
East New York was annexed as the 26th Ward of the rapidly growing City of Brooklyn; in 1897 it was brought into New York City as a whole with the consolidation of Brooklyn and other boroughs into a single city. In the 20th century its name came to be applied to much of the former township.
In 1939, the Works Progress Administration Guide to New York City [1] wrote:
" The development of East New York began in 1835 through the enterprise of John R. Pitkin, a wealthy Connecticut merchant who visualized it as a great city rivaling New York. The Panic of 1837 smashed his hopes. After 1853, a modest development began. By the 1930s, the residents were chiefly Italians, Jewish, Germans, and Russians who moved in from Brownsville, Bushwick, and other near-by crowded localities. Many of the Slavic families continue to burn candles before icons, and observe religious fetes according to the old calendar... "
After World War II, thousands of manufacturing jobs left New York City thereby increasing the importance of the remaining jobs to those with limited education and job skills. During this same period, large numbers of Puerto Ricans and African-Americans emigrated to New York City looking for employment. East New York, no longer replete with the jobs the new residents had come for, was thereby faced with a host of new socioeconomic problems, including widespread unemployment and crime.
Social problems[edit]
Since the late 1950's East New York has the highest crime rates in Brooklyn, and is the Borough's murder capital. Many social problems associated with poverty from crime to drug addiction have plagued the area for decades. Despite the decline of crime compared to their peaks during the crack and heroin epidemics, violent crime continues to be a serious problem in the community.[5] East New York's 75th Police District reported the highest murder rate in the city in 2011, according to crime reports compiled by DNAinfo.com. East New York has significantly higher dropout rates and incidents of violence in its schools.[6] Students must pass through metal detectors and swipe ID cards to enter the buildings. However, most public NYC high schools have adopted this approach regardless of their location. Other problems in local schools include low test scores and high truancy rates.[citation needed]
Walter Thabit, a city planner for East New York, chronicled in his book, How East New York Became a Ghetto, the change in population from mostly working class Italians and Jewish residents to residents of Puerto Rican and African American descent. Thabit argues that landlords and real estate agents played a significant role in the downturn of the area. Puerto Ricans were moving in masses to New York City in the late 1950s, at a time when unemployment rates in Puerto Rico soared to 25 percent, and left Puerto Rico on the brink of poverty.
Thabit also describes how the construction of public housing projects in East New York further contributed to its decline, noting that many of the developments were built by corrupt managers and contractors. He argues that the city government largely ignored the community when it could have helped turn it around.
Writing in the New York Press, Michael Manville accused Thabit of poor research, sweeping generalizations, and a failure to distinguish the actions of racist individuals from the effects of a racist capitalist system, and contends that much of the urban renewal and public housing efforts of the period were in fact well-intentioned, if ill-considered and hubristic.[7]
New developments are rising in the area, including the Gateway Center shopping mall[8] located on what was once part of a landfill near Jamaica Bay. The Gateway, in Starrett City near East New York is suburban-style, and is home to retailers that include Bed Bath & Beyond, Staples, Marshalls, Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Boulder Creek Steakhouse, Target, The Home Depot, and BJ's Wholesale Club. The development was welcomed by many in the neighborhood for the jobs it would provide and is frequented by people from all over Southern Queens and Southern Brooklyn, bringing business into the neighborhood. Unfortunately, that promise has been elusive, as the low-wage, high turnover positions which comprise the majority of jobs there do little to generate higher wealth in the community. With the expansion of the Gateway Center mall more retail business are moving here. In addition new businesses are thriving mostly along New Lots Avenue.
Urban renewal[edit]

East New York was devastated by "blockbusting" in the course of an FHA Mortgage scandal that left the neighborhood virtually abandoned, a wasteland by the early 70s. A Federal Court ordered that an Environmental Impact Statement be prepared for East New York and through that EIS done by the Brooklyn Office of the New York City Department of City Planning, the history of the FHA Mortgage Scandal and its unfolding in East New York was documented.
The EIS found that what happened in East New York and inner City communities across America was a result of the FHA's inability to respond to its new mandate to include inner city neighborhoods in the FHA single family mortgage insurance program. The FHA was created to build the suburbs of America and all of its policies, underwriting standards, appraisal standards were built from and geared to newly constructed suburban homes. The agency apparently interpreted its mandate to now produce specific target volumes of inner city loans as a directive to abandon its underwriting and appraisal and produce as many inner city loans as possible to mostly black first-time homeowners. Block by block unscrupulous mortgage originators scared the elderly Jewish homeowners in these tiny modest one family homes into selling below market for fear their homes would be worth nothing at all as the blacks moved in, displaced by clearance for urban renewal in neighboring Brownsville. These same blockbusting brokers then resold these homes at greatly inflated prices to first-time black homeowners who believed their American dream had come true. The brokers provided fraudulent documentation on the loans which were all beyond the ability of the new homeowners to pay given their modest incomes. Very quickly the neighborhood went from 100% elderly Jewish to 100% black & Hispanic and soon afterward the new homeowners were behind on mortgage payments and losing their homes to foreclosure. When the Brooklyn Office of City Planning began its court-mandated EIS East New York was a wasteland, row after row of vacant homes in poor condition and a central 4 or 6 block area of vacant land where houses had once stood.
The court directive to prepare the EIS on East New York required recommendations as well as findings. The recommendations were then expanded into a Master Plan For East New York which included the entire Community Planning Board. Simultaneously the Brooklyn office developed a more specific plan for the rehabilitation and resale of the FHA foreclosure to qualified low income buyers. The plan was to rehabilitate these homes through non-profit community sponsors and resell them at affordable prices to pre-qualified low income homeowners. The program was called SHIP (Small Home Improvement Program). A $1 million loan pool commitment was secured from the East New York Savings Bank for the SHIP program. The program was then turned over to the City's Housing agency for implementation and administration.
The SHIP program was modeled on a program developed the Sunset Park Redevelopment Committee then operating in Sunset Park with funding from the Ford Foundation. The Ford Foundation was also funding other pioneering innovative housing programs, including in nearby Bedford-Stuyvesant through the Bedford-Stuyvesant Restoration Corporation. SHIP was the first effort at low income home ownership by the City of New York and ran into some initial difficulties due to limitations in the State constitution on "gifts and loans" (The discounted sales price to new homeowners was considered "a gift"). At least the first 100 houses were eventually renovated under the program before it was abandoned.
Later most of these 1000 FHA foreclosed were torn down and replaced with new construction and much later some privately financed infill housing.Also many subsidized multi-unit townhouses and newly constructed apartment buildings have been or are being built on vacant lots across the neighborhood. It is important to note that because of the restrictions placed by the rent-stabilization code on many of the redeveloped multi-family buildings, a significant number of these properties have fallen into disrepair and are at risk of landlord abandonment.
In 2006 Mayor Bloomberg announced a Nehemiah Program of new town houses in the southern part of East New York also targeted to low and middle income homeowners. The East Brooklyn Clergy, sponsors of Nehemiah Housing, have always been a strong effective voice for reclamation of Brownsville, Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The United Homes Scandal which broke in the summer of 2011 with a $1 million award to victimized homeowners was a repeat of the original FHA Mortgage Scandal. While mostly focused in other East Brooklyn communities, homeowners in East New York who have now won the support and attention of Occupy Housing were most likely also victims of United Housing (http://www.nycommunities.org/node/1133._)

All areas of New York City are within the New York City Department of Education school district. East New York high schools suffer from high dropout rates. As with many NYC schools, gang violence is a common problem found in the local schools. East New York has two higher institutes such as toro college and ber hagolah institute in starrett city. Spring Creek High School open in 2012 becoming the fifth high school in 60 years and the first in the spring creek area.
School closed and reorganized[edit]
One of the neighborhood's local public high schools, Thomas Jefferson High School, shut down in June 2007 due to extremely low academic performance: a graduation rate of 29%, with only 2% entering the school at grade level in math and 10% entering at grade level in reading). The school was known for its ROTC program. Four new high schools were organized in the old building.[10]

By J. Craig Anderson email@example.com
Staff Writer
If Congress fails to pass a farm bill by the end of the year, it will set off a cascade of events that could send milk prices in Maine as high as $6 a gallon, dairy industry and economic experts said.
Bottles of milk are lined up at Smiling Hill Farm in Westbrook on Thursday. The dairy version of a fiscal cliff looms, industry and economic experts say.
John Ewing/Staff Photographer
The prices of butter, cheese and ice cream also could increase significantly, they said.
However, they said that price increases would happen gradually, and only if the farm bill issue remains unresolved for an extended period.
There is a great deal of uncertainty about exactly how long it would take for dairy prices to increase if Congress fails to pass a farm bill or extend the current one, said Brian Gould, a professor in the Department of Agricultural and Applied Economics at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
"We've never been in this situation before, so I don't know what the dynamics are going to be," Gould said.
The expected price increases would result from the dairy industry version of a fiscal cliff, he said.
The Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1938, which is still in effect today, states that unless a farm bill is enacted to supersede it, the federal government must agree to purchase certain agricultural products from their producers at set prices that are significantly higher than their current market value. The law's effects are intentionally dire to ensure that Congress always passes a farm bill.
The higher prices for each agricultural product are based on a benchmark known as "parity" that is roughly equivalent to the market value of that product from 1909 to 1914, a time period in which farms prospered and prices were historically high.
The 1938 law remains on the books as a deterrent to letting the current farm bill expire without passing a new one. The current farm bill was passed in 2008, and expired in 2012, but was extended another year by Congress when a proposed 2012 update to the bill failed.
Each farm product covered by the law has its own parity price, Gould said. In the case of milk, the parity price is $49.60 per hundredweight, which is roughly 12 gallons, he said.
The 1938 law requires the federal government to purchase milk from farmers at no less than 75 percent of the parity price, which would be $37.20 per hundredweight, he said.
That's nearly twice the current wholesale price of $21.30 per hundredweight of raw milk, Gould said.
It's possible that the commercial market would have to match that higher government price in order to keep store shelves stocked with dairy products, he said.
However, that price only accounts for about half of what consumers pay at the grocery store for milk, he said. The rest of the cost, such as pasteurization, bottling, distribution and retail sales, would not change unless retailers exploited the crisis as an opportunity to boost their profits.
"It could go up dramatically, but not as much as at the farm," Gould said.
The most likely scenario is that milk prices would top out at about 50 percent higher than they are today, said Gould, who recently completed a study of the likely economic impact of failing to pass a farm bill.
On Friday, milk prices in Portland ranged from about $3.50 to $4.50 per gallon at major grocery chains. Based on the average price of $4 per gallon, a 50 percent price increase would bring that average to $6 a gallon.
Shaw's grocery store shoppers Barbara Cobb and Nancy McKeil said that price would be prohibitively expensive for them.
"I guess we would have to switch to powdered milk," said Cobb, who lives in Portland.

Zeus & Company, a pet food distributor, donated several pallets of product to HAWS – about 4,000 pounds! Todd Oilschlager, a Zeus representative, noted the food and treats are valued at more than $5,800. Many thanks to Todd, a HAWS business partner and the man who brought Zeus and HAWS together, and Zeus & Company owner, David Levy, for their generosity. The full tummies of HAWS' residents are also very thankful!

Interesting start to football season
Been an interesting start to the football season for 3 of my teams.
Brookfield Central (2-0) – one of the co-favorites in the Greater Metro Conference – has had too close calls against teams that aren't considered contenders.
Packers Lose Practice Game
Yes, the Packers lost to the SF 49 rs in Green Bay, and it looked like another practice game. The running game was tentative, the passing game was not relevant and the defense was in transient.
There is no easy fix for all the penalties, missed tackles and bad choices in play calliing.
Bag decorating transforms more than canvas totes for SJV K4 students
Students entering K4 at St. John Vianney celebrate the start of the school year by decorating canvas totes they'll use as book bags but the material serves as far more than just a surface for whimsical ballerinas and growling dinosaurs. The bag-decorating project introduces the students to the concepts of community, sharing, creating and learning.
Top 10 changes at St. John Vianney this year
Whether you're new to St. John Vianney, a familiar face to staff and students alike, or just an advocate of quality education, you'll be proud to learn about the top ten changes the school implemented this year to improve the overall experience and education it provides.
On Sept. 11th, my first thank you goes to God
Eleven years have passed since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, and in those 11 years, our world has become a much more dangerous place: Iran is working on becoming a nuclear power, the Arab Spring is now controlling once tourist friendly Egypt, the entire middle east is in upheaval. Yet despite this increased unrest, our nation has been kept safe from additional terrorist attacks.
Today, Gov. Walker, Mayor Tom Barrett and other area officials gathered at the War Memorial to honor the Sept. 11 victims, which is appropriate. Similar gatherings all across our nation will occur today.
A September 11th radio ad this year samples Americans and what they plan to do to in remembrance of this day. One says they will say thanks to a firefighter, another a policeman, etc. Volunteering is another option. These are all well and good, but for me there is one glaring omission: thanking God for His blessing of protection.
As I wrote in 2008, reflecting on our Sept. 11th experience out in South Dakota, "Our nation held its collective breath, waiting for something else to happen after those first 4 plane crashes. Thank God, it didn't.
"But amazingly, we have been incident free...
"Almost every politician ends their speech with, God bless America. I know God has. May He continue to shed His grace on our nation.
God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!"
Elm Grove U18 team helps players take next step
With college soccer season here, Elm Grove Soccer Club has a heavy presence in many of the local university rosters.
In fact 13 of the 16 seniors that played on the Elm Grove U18 Team that won a fourth straight State Cup under coach Ben Shepherd have gone on to receive scholarships to play at the next level.
This is more than any other club last year in Wisconsin and continues the growing trend of players that have developed through the Elm Grove system to then earn the opportunity to play at the next level. In fact eight members of last year's team are currently on NCAA Division I rosters, one at an NCAA Division II school and four at NCAA Division III schools.
Here is a list players and the schools they are attending from the Elm Grove U18 State Championship team.
NCAA Division I — University of Wisconsin — Milwaukee: Stuart McBain, Mark Heydt and Daniel Lemus; UW-Madison: Joe Naughtan; Marquette University: Mac Wheeler, Nate Rohde; Drake University: Jimmy Grunert and Duquesne University: Nick Biasiotta.
NCAA Division II — UW-Parkside: Evan Carlin.
NCAA Division III — Catholic University: Nico Bartolomeo; UW-Oshkosh: Jack Ballestreri; Concordia University: Keegan Van Dusseldorp; UW-Whitewater: Justin Loncaric.
"Elm Grove has a great coaching staff and a huge part of the reason I developed so much as a player," Heydt said. "Coach Shepherd was one of the best coaches I've ever played for and he helped me tremendously in playing soccer at the next level."
Breider came over from FC Milwaukee USSDA.
"I knew coach Shepherd would help me get recruited," he said. "His past recruiting record is impressive, and I'm looking forward to playing with this group of guys."
Biasiotta credited Shepherd with believing in him even though he had a knee injury.
"Even though I was coming off a knee injury he still had the upmost confidence in me," Biasiotta said. "And that helped me to motivate myself to come back. Coach instilled a sort of drive in me that I can't explain. He inspired me and was truly professional with everything he did."
Recruiters started calling Vandusseldorp once he joined Elm Grove.
"I decided to join Elm Grove my senior year and last year of club soccer because of its reputation in producing players to play at the college level," he said. "Before I moved to Elm Grove I wasn't being recruited very heavily but as soon as I started playing at Elm Grove many recruiters started contacting me."
Ben Kosmider, who has been an Elm Grove player since he was U14, is looking forward to playing his senior year as he looks forward to playing at the next level.
"The coaches in Elm Grove will help me realize my dream of being recruited and playing Division 1 soccer," he said. "I'm looking forward to working with coach Shepherd and know he will help me help me succeed."
HOP TO IT: It's About Time YOU Adopted 4 Paws from HAWS!
As one of the few shelters with a dedicated Small Animal Ward, at HAWS we always have plenty of small and furry friends up for adoption. Here are 2 of our favorite buns!
My name is Silky and I am a very elegant gentlebun (check out my video – the HAWS volunteers have clicker-trained me!). My white coat shaded with silver glistens in the light, which may be why my breed is called "Satin." I was someone's Easter gift that they grew tired of...can you believe that?! I am very curious and friendly…and a bit hyper-active because I don't like to sit still. A large cage and several hours a day outside of it to have my bunny adventures is a must! And here's a bonus: I use a litter box!
Don't forget me, Jaxon! I am a handsome young fellow as you can see but I am also very large – I'm what is known as a "Checkered Giant" and weigh about 11 pounds. I was brought into HAWS after being found wandering around lost, but I am super-friendly. I can be easily excited and like activity, so I'll need a large space to live in...actually, the perfect home for me would be an exercise pen like this. I will need to be out of my cage everyday to scamper about and explore, and I'll really enjoy hanging out with my new family. I do love a good head rub and will lay my head on your lap for you to do so. My litter box training is going really well, too!
To learn about caring for house rabbits, log onto www.rabbit.org, and for great rabbit cage ideas check out THIS neat site. All rabbit adoptions at HAWS include a free copy of the "House Rabbit Handbook: How To Live With An Urban Rabbit." Wear your bunny pride on your sleeve: purchase one of HAWS' special edition Year of the Rabbit t-shirts (both short and long-sleeved varieties are available).
By the way - have you reserved your spot on the Runway yet? It would be a total FAUX PAWS to miss HAWS' Romp the Runway fundraiser on September 28th...
Middle East unrest: Romney? presidential, Obama? busy campaigning
On Sept. 11th, a statement on Obama's State Department website agreed with the U.S.Embassy in Cairo's 9/11 apology for "hurt Muslim feelings". Then violent protests sprang up at the embassies in Egypt and Libya, resulting in Ambassador Stevens' death (along with 3 others) in Libya.
A very Presidential Mitt Romney, rightly condemned the attacks on the U.S. Embassies in Egypt and Libya. He said, "I'm outraged by the attacks on American diplomatic missions in Libya and Egypt and by the death of an American consulate worker in Benghazi. It's disgraceful that the Obama Administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks."
Before dashing off to Las Vegas, at 10:43am, on Sept. 12th, the President made a statement, that was about as dynamic as a bowl of cold oatmeal. He included this curious statement: "Libyan security personnel fought back against the attackers alongside Americans. Libyans helped some of our diplomats find safety, and they carried Ambassador Stevens's body to the hospital, where we tragically learned that he had died."
In another story, it would seem it was the same Libyan security personnel who told the protesters where the officials were taken!
And where did Obama get that information that Libyans helped carry Stevens to the hospital? Because if you look at, Muslims Execute US Ambassador Christ Stevens, the pictures (graphic) depict a battered man being dragged, not an injured man being carried. The post also includes a very positive YouTube introducing us to Ambassador Stevens when he took his post. What a tragedy.
Now keep in mind there has been controversy swirling over whether or not Obama has been attending his 'Presidential Daily Brief' intelligence meetings. In that article, National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor didn't dispute the Govt. Accountability Institute's numbers that tabulated Obama's attendance record in the last 2 years at just 38%. For contrast, President George W. Bush "almost never missed his daily intelligence meeting".
The White House denies this accusation and says that if Obama doesn't attend the PDB, he at least reads the briefing book (crib sheet) every day. I think it is clear that with this latest Middle East unrest, Obama needs to stop just reading the Cliff Notes on intelligence briefings and meet face to face with those involved.
And speaking of face to face meetings, as our world moves closer to Armageddon, why is it our President Obama has no time to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, our only true ally in the Middle East? He has time to do a radio interview with a hip-hopper in Florida, fly off to Las Vegas for a big fundraiser (what ever happened to avoiding Las Vegas?), or make plans to do the David Letterman show?
The Middle East is a volatile region, made even more volatile by Obama administration policies: "The Obama administration has played a central role in overthrowing U.S.-aligned regimes and replacing them with regimes that are hostile to the U.S. and its strategic interests".
You might say some of Obama's policies' chickens are coming home to roost.
Remember Hillary Clinton giddily proclaiming that in Libya, We came, we saw, he [Gaddafi] died? And in Egypt, Obama supported the Arab Spring revolt. Then in August, after the new regime got rid of Hosni Mubarak, opponents (some Christian), who were against the U.S. supported Morsi, were crucified by the Arab Spring 'Brotherhood'.
Morsi has also refused to condemn Tuesday's 9/11 Cairo Embassy attack.
And let's not make the mistake of thinking this violence is all about a movie. Some of the protesters yelled, "'Obama! Obama! We are all Osama!' went one chant, referring to Osama bin Laden, the late head of Al Qaeda" That ire was addressed directly to Obama. Why? Possibly because killing Osama was touted 20+ times at the DNC convention?
Anti-American violence is now spreading to other counties in the Middle East, and our President is too busy being the Campaigner in Chief, hip-hopping around the country, to be Commander in Chief.
At least there is one candidate in the 2012 election acting Presidential: Mitt Romney.

Still time to see 2016: Obama's America
Can't figure out why President Obama is spending us into oblivion? or apologizing for America's greatness in the world? What about refusing to let American oil companies drill offshore but loans money to Brazil to drill there? How about why he doesn't help out his half brother George in Kenya?
Well, if you go see Dinesh D'Souza's documentary movie 2016: Obama's America, these and other perplexing questions about why Obama does what he does will all make sense. Spoiler Alert: One reason is Obama's hatred of colonialism.
Though I rarely see a movie (unless it's at the budget theater), I did go see the movie at the AMC Mayfair Mall 18 theater, and it was well worth the $6 early admission price. The movie is still here in the Milwaukee area and I urge you to see it whether you are a Conservative, Republican, Independent or Democrat.
Because I am rather a news junkie, I was at least familiar with much of the information presented. However, D'Sousa skillfully weaves all these facts and background stories together into a tapestry that clearly reveals just why Obama believes "No world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will succeed..." Why he is willing that America no longer have nuclear preeminence and why a nuclear Iran isn't a concern. The interview with half brother George was particularly telling.
In light of this weeks spreading Middle East unrest, the map of the United Arab States now becomes all the more chilling.
The movie isn't an emotionally charged hit piece, but rather a systematic, logical account of Obama's life that illustrates why he doesn't believe in American exceptionalism or even desire that America be the best in the world. It was a real eye-opener.
Stop Tom Barrett's Folly Trolley at Streetcar Named Disaster rally: Sept. 18, 2012
Milwaukee Alderman Bob Donavan, along with the MacIver Institute and Americans for Prosperity are holding a rally against Milwaukee's latest huge waste of money project, the Milwaukee Streetcar. I often refer to it as Barrett's Folly Trolley. Most know it as A Streetcar Named Disaster. Whatever you choose to call it, it is a very expensive, unnecessary project.
The purpose of the rally is to pressure the Milwaukee to put the 2 mile long downtown streetcar project on a binding referendum, so voters can have a say as to whether or not we want to pay for this.
There is also an online petition for you to sign. Because all of us in the southeast Wisconsin will be paying higher WE Energies bills to cover the $55+ million to relocate the utility lines, you DO NOT need to be a Milwaukee County resident to sign. AT&T customers will be paying more too. Sign here.
Attend the rally if you can. A strong showing is needed to send Mayor Tom Barrett and the Milwaukee Common Council an unmistakable message: WE DON"T WANT THIS BOONDOGGLE.
The rally will be held at Serb Hall from 5pm to 7pm, though Alderman Bob Donovan* said the doors would be open at 4pm and probably go past 7pm. Alderman Donovan will be addressing other issues besides the streetcar, but stopping the streetcar is the main focus.
Estimates are that the very short streetcar line will cost $64 million plus the utility relocation costs of at least $55 million. I have heard a figure of about $120 million in all. $3 million of that is just to operate the thing for one year. And remember all this money is just to build a 2 mile line!
Some of this money is Federal Money, some is local. Regardless of where it comes from, we cannot afford this. And to top it all off, I think we can be sure if this 2 mile leg is built, more will follow, just like the Milwaukee to Madison train project that Gov. Walker stopped was just the 1st installment. So speak up!
Serb Hall is located at 5101 West Oklahoma Avenue Milwaukee, WI 53219

SJV 5th graders take a trip back in time at Hartford's Buckskinner Encampment
In order to infuse classroom learning with real-world experiences, on Friday the SJV 5th graders traveled back in time, to Wisconsin's own Buckskinner Encampment in Hartford in order to learn about life in the 1700s and 1800s.
Located at Woodlawn Park and open to the public, the encampment offers several examples of life in the early 1800s such as fur traders, cooking, blacksmith demonstrations, quill working and much more. The students experienced first-hand the lifestyle, customs and traditions of that era.

The Best Place to Be USA
The Best Place to Be is the USA. yes, right here, not somewhere else. Any doubters are free to go to another country and try their luck. The problem is that you may not be allowed to come back. So why not just stay here and count your blessings. The USA has freedom of speech and non-political law enforcement to protect us. That alone trumps other countries.
When I hear the negative remarks about whether we are better off or not my patience grows thin.
"Are you better off than you were 4 years ago?"
Last September, I had the privilege of visiting the Reagan Library in California. At the time I snapped this picture, I answered his question with a resounding, NO. Little did I know how much worse off our country and the world would be in the span of just one year.
Most think of this question in terms of the economy. After all, Reagan was running against President Jimmy Carter. But there was also the Iran hostage crisis hanging over our country like a national pall. So Foreign Policy was also a concern.
If we go back to 2008, our country would be about $10.6 trillion in debt, instead of the $16+ trillion we're at now. Obama increased it by 50% in less than 4 years! That works out to $111,414 per taxpayer and counting. And Obama was the one, who in Feb. 2009, pledged he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term!
As Obama inferred in his 2009 pledge, the interest on the debt would increasingly become unmanageable. How unmanageable? Take a look at this: Brother, Can You Spare a Trillion?
To make matters worse, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke embarked on QE3 to stimulate Obama's flagging economy, at the rate of $40 billion a month, for the election. (QE3 is the 3rd round of quantitative easing: a fancy term for pumping up the money supply or buying our own debt) This bit of insanity earned us another downgrade to our already downgraded credit rating from AA to AA-.
There are so many other aspects of this question to consider besides the economy. There is the disdain and disregard of our Constitution by our president, the bypassing congress by executive order, the loss of liberties, etc. And then, like the Carter years, the weak, apologetic tone of our foreign policy.
So what do you say to Ronald Reagan's question? And what are you going to do about it on November 6th?

Politics, Family and Friends
We all cherish our family and our friends. It used to be friends forever and family comes first. We love our family because of our roots and we like our friends because of our mutual respect.
But in the last few years there has been a sharp division between family and friends on partisan politics and the issues of the times we live in.
Christians join Max Lucado's 40 Days of Prayer For USA; it starts today
What can Christians do for our nation? Pray!
Many of us do pray daily for our country and leaders, as directed in 1 Timothy 2:1-3:
"The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know. Pray especially for rulers and their governments to rule well so we can be quietly about our business of living simply, in humble contemplation. This is the way our Savior God wants us to live." The Message translation
But if you haven't been in the habit of praying for our leaders and this election, Minister and author Max Lucado is urging those of us who believe in the God of the Bible to join him in 40 Days of Prayer For the USA, starting today until the election on November 6th. He also offers a pledge page if you would like to join with other like-minded people. (Only first name and last initial is made public).
Prayer points he includes:
Bernanke's Subtler Way
"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society, than to debauch the currency".

"Nice Hotel. Expensive. Not International"Hotels.com 旅客於 2013年01月28日留下評價
Nice, clean, well decorated Hotel. However staff do not speak good english. I had big trouble in checking in as they refused to give me the 'TWO BEDROOMS' suite which i have booked and clearly stated on the booking confirmation. I was told the price I was paying was only for ' TWO BEDS'. That wasted me 2 hours and i couldn't get my room until my lawyer calling the hotel manager. As a frequet traveller, I could say that the guest relations of this hotel is not meeting the international standard while the price is certainly a 5 star price. Anyhow, the hotel is nice with a well equipped open kitchen in each room. Friendly staff and a safe neighbourhood. Nice restaurants are within walking distance. Shopping malls are within 10 mins drive.

Get cozy with friends and family and enjoy an Italian feast at this loved-by-locals restaurant. – In Short
Homesick for your mother's Italian cooking? Grab your appetite and head to this restaurant, where the friendly wait staff will serve up portions of Colosseum-esque proportions, like spaghetti and meatballs loaded with savory tomato sauce and lots of pungent garlic. Dishes center on Southern Italian immigrant fare, and are meant to be shared family-style with a large goblet of wine-to enhance the taste, of course. The ornate décor with walls covered in vintage photos evokes a warm homey feel that welcomes customers to dine among the other families and loyal customers. Buon Appetito!
Great service and no wait at all! – Buca di Beppo is a very great place and I would come back. The waiter was Stacey, she was wonderful. The salad was great and the kid's meals were a great size. Although, there were some very rude customers right next to us that were cursing but I guess the restaurant can't help that. The chicken parmesan was wonderful. The place is very close to us too.
I love it!
The waiting is ridiculous – A friend of mine took me to the one in LA a couple month ago. Thought I would like to try something else from their menu this time. I came about 5.15 p.m. What surprise me was the waiting would be 30-45 minutes, meanwhile I saw a lot of empty seats inside. This is ridiculous. I would understand if the restaurant was full and there was no empty seat. I think at least they could just ask customer to sit and serve bread. I certainly won't come back.

Investing in Gray Matter: Evaluating a Firm's Human Assets
When an oil pipeline company suffers a spill, it shows up in the next financial report. But when a high-tech firm has its top product development team stolen by a competitor, you may never know, unless you work to find out. The real assets in today's growth companies are human ones.
"My assets walk out the door every night," says one high-tech CEO. "We have to be a good place to work so they'll come back the next morning."
Investing in Information Age companies calls for a new kind of due diligence from investors. You want to be confident that the companies you invest in have the best people and are taking every step possible to keep them.

We saw all types of birds while we were kayaking into the backwoods area. Then we went around the canal/lake type area that fed into the ocean. The guides asked if we wanted to go into the ocean and kayak back to the Mayan. Well, it was exhilirating to go over the breakers out into the bay. Once we were out there, we had to paddle back into the shore. It was like riding a surfboard into shore once we made it past a certain point. It was really fun although I was certainly glad I had a good lifejacket.

I enjoyed my short kayaking adventure, but I did wish the canals would extend all over the resort so that you could tour the whole resort by kayak or boat. There is also a boat that you can ride. It pretty much takes you where the kayaks go, but you don't get a workout. It can take up to about 20-25 people at once.
Afterward, my sister and I retired to the pool to relax our tired arms. We were still uneasy about sitting in pond scum from kayaking, so we left to rinse off in the shower in our room.
Even though this activity is free, make sure you bring a few bills to tip your kayaking attendant. Both Mexican pesos and American dollars are accepted at the resort.

Pumpkin pies put to taste test
HEB pie receives most thumbs up
Any way you slice it, pumpkin pie is the traditional way to top off the Thanksgiving feast. So how do store-bought pies rate?
A small colony of KSAT co-workers agreed to lend their palates and non-expert opinions and sample five pumpkin pies purchased from supermarkets and restaurants.
The least expensive was a frozen Mrs. Smith's pumpkin pie for $4.88. Pies from HEB and Walmart bakeries were around $6. The Bill Miller pie was $9.49 and the Luby's pie at $14.99 was the priciest.
But first, what makes for the perfect pumpkin pie?
"I like a real strong flavor, nice and fluffy texture and then a crust that just melts in your mouth," said sampler Edna King.
"It's got to be firm and the crust flaky," said Scott Shiotani.
In a blind taste-test, the five pumpkin-eaters rated each slice on pumpkin taste, filling texture, crust and then an overall assessment.
Ratings highest for pumpkin taste was the HEB pie, while Bill Miller was preferred by most when it came to texture. There was no clear favorite for crust because each had a different opinion.
Overall, the HEB pie squashed the competition rating as the favorite of three of the five testers.
Considering all of the categories, the Bill Miller was the second choice and one tester preferred the Luby's pie. The Mrs. Smith's pie was the least favorite.
The HEB pie at $5.99 was also the largest, twice the size of the Bill Miller pie.
"Hey, pumpkin pie is pumpkin pie, and I'll eat it," said tester Don Servais.

Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pinot Noir Two Brothers, tasted from barrel, is hugely promising. There is a level of purity in the fruit that is simply beautiful.

Night To Unite event taking place for a chance to meet neighbors and law enforcementFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Thousands of people are expected to make their way to block parties and parks in the F-M area for a Night To Unite.
By: WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - Thousands of people are expected to make their way to block parties and parks in the F-M area for a Night To Unite. The event is celebrated nationwide, and gives neighbors a chance to meet neighbors and law enforcement and to keep our community safer.
Candy Morrow has lived in the Sommerset Neighborhood in West Fargo for about a year. She says one of her top priorities when she moved in was to meet the neighbors.
Candy Morrow - West Fargo: "It was just nice to have the neighbor 'I've got your back' kind of feeling."
Morrow says when she knows her neighbors she feels safer.
Candy Morrow: "People know when you are coming and going, and they know what's normal for you guys and when something doesn't look right. You know, maybe they can be more aware of that."
West Fargo Chief of Police Arland Rasmussen says more people should be like Morrow.
Chief Arland Rasmussen - West Fargo Police: "Our crimes are solved by our citizens. Law enforcement is a tool, but the tool we use is our citizens."
Rasmussen says neighborhood watch programs are very beneficial. There are 36 designated block clubs in Moorhead, and 6 Neighborhood Watch programs in West Fargo and in Fargo.
Arland Rasmussen: "The best way to protect your property is to know your neighbors. You watch for them and they watch for you."
Rasmussen hopes these number will grow after an event like Night to Unite to keep neighborhoods crime free.
Arland Rassmussen: "Usually what happens is when someone has a theft or something, then they'll be interested in starting a community watch."
Rasmussen says people should never hesitate to call.
Arland Rassmussen: "We can go and check that out and it can just give you a reassurance."
If you haven't made it out to the event you still have time. They run until 9 PM, weather permitting. West Fargo has cancelled its picnic at Elmwood Park because of the weather.
If you would like to start a neighborhood watch program contact your local law enforcement.

Your living room should be welcoming to family gatherings and visiting guests. The window treatments you choose should help create this inviting atmosphere while at the same time protecting your furnishing from harmful UV rays and tempering the heat gain from direct sunlight. Here are some ideas for living room window treatments to help you get started.
Living room window treatments such as sheer shades and semi-opaque cellular shades will softly filter light while blocking UV rays. Wood blinds and shutters can bring the warmth of real wood into your home while providing great light control and privacy. For rooms with a sliding door, there are great alternatives to the traditional vertical blind - instead, try a modern panel track blind or a vertical sheer blind. Many of these products come in fabrics that coordinate to other window treatments, such as roman shades, to give you a matching look for all your windows.
Specialty lift options can offer flexible choices for operation and light control. For windows that are very high or difficult to reach, motorized lift or tilt options available on many blinds and shades to let you control the shade remotely. Top down/bottom up is another great living room window treatment that lets in light from the top while maintaining privacy by keeping the bottom of the shade closed.

(PETERBOROUGH) Peterborough region residents awoke Saturday morning (Feb. 9) with a snow hangover and, for many, the only cure available was to shovel the white stuff from their driveways.
According to Environment Canada, from late Thursday night to early Friday night, 30 to 40 centimetres-plus of snow fell on you, depending on where you live. Predicted for days prior, the storm didn't disappoint but still caught many, particularly drivers, by surprise.
In the city, police deal with relatively few collisions but calls for service were higher than normal. Area highway traffic was reduced to a crawl. Among the collisions OPP dealt with was a three-vehicle crash on the northbound Hwy. 115 near the Hwy. 28 turn-off. That crash involved two tractor trailers, one of which caught fire, destroying the cab.
And just east of Norwood, another crashed forced the closure of Hwy. 7 between the 12th Line of Asphodel and the 11th Line of Belmont. That section remained closed early Saturday morning, forcing motorists to detour.
In Peterborough, most City facilities had closed by 3 p.m. Friday with City transit suspending services at 3:20 p.m.
Both Trent University and Fleming College closed down early as well, canceling classes at 2 p.m.
And it was a snow day for thousands of area students as school bus service was cancelled early Friday morning.
Meanwhile, due to impassable side streets, those who normally receive their garbage/recycling pick-up Friday faced huge delays with some streets not serviced at all. The City is asking those who recyclables weren't picked up to bring them in from the curb and put out this Friday, Feb. 15.

Families of DUI death victims say 'time is now' for more harsh punishmentsFargo, ND (WDAY TV) - North Dakota lawmakers are calling it horrific. Right near the door to the State Capitol, was the destroyed vehicle of a West Fargo family, killed by a drunk driver last July.
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) - North Dakota lawmakers are calling it horrific. Right near the door to the State Capitol, was the destroyed vehicle of a West Fargo family, killed by a drunk driver last July.
A visual reminder adding even more urgency to the testimony of two families today, demanding the state make its DUI laws tougher.
The father of Allison Deutscher says he's sending an emotional message to North Dakota lawmakers, one he can't even bear to look at.
Lynn Mickelson, Daughter Killed in DUI Crash: "So senseless, Brielle's car seat in the back, it hurts. It hurts to look at."
It's hard to see the pain, the heartbreak, of this father in mourning. July 6th, the day he lost his daughter Allison Deutscher, a pregnant West Fargo woman killed on I-94 near Jamestown.
A drunken driver caused the crash that took the lives of her, her husband, and her 18-month old daughter.
Mickelson says it's time for lawmakers to act and crack down on DUI offenders.
Mickelson: "It's time to do something. We got to do something. That's why I keep hoping and praying these legislators can do something about it."
Inside the capitol, an emotional meeting between three parents consumed by grief. Just one day after the Deutscher's died, Juan and Sandy Ruiz lost their boys, one 5-year-old, one 9.
Sandy Ruiz, Son Killed in DUI Crash: "I can feel what he is feeling, I can understand what he is feeling."
Last summer, the Ruiz's were camping on Lake Metigoshe. As the family slept, a drunken driver lost control on a gravel road and ran over the tent, killing the two boys.
Juan Ruiz, Son Killed in DUI Crash: "I was asleep, woke up, and I was pulling the boys out from under a truck."
Together, the families showed the devastating reality of drunk driving, hoping to make a difference.
Andy Peterson, ND Chamber President: "It's horrible, horrific. It puts a lump in your throat obviously. This is really one of the things that will get legislators attention."
Rep. Scott Kelsh, (D) Fargo: "It's a very stirring reminder that there are problems we need to address."
Two DUI crackdown bills are in the works. One state rep is asking for higher fines for DUIs and West Fargo's Kim Koppelman is asking for an increase in jail time, and fines. Neither bill is scheduled for hearing.
Ruiz: "I would like to see something come good out of this. What are we going to wait for? Another family to be taken out by a drunk driver? The time is now."
To bring something positive out of the immense tragedy, there's a memorial run for the Deutschers on April 6th called the Run 4 Change.
It's at the Scheels Arena. Money raised goes to the Safe Communities Coalition, to take a stand against drunken driving.

Neck is straight and the woodwork is allright. The frets needed severe dressing and end filing. I expected something better from StewMac but considering the price, well, you get what you pay for...
Great necks for the price.A quick dress and polish was worthwhile but the fretwork is good, profile great and plays as well as any tele out there. Also worth adding a Tusq nut to complete an excellent package
I needed a replacement neck in a hurry and bought one from another dealer that sent me a maple neck that I could not straighten so I purchased a #5719 from StewMac and it is on my guitar AND BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!
The maple neck is one of the best playing necks I've encountered. It plays as well as my EJ strat. Craftsmanship is flawless.
Arrived within 5 days! Lovely neck does need a little filing though, I hadn't read the stewmac details well enough and now need to order the conversion bushes as the pegholes are too big for my tuners. Read Stewmac's details and specs when ordering lesson learnt. Measure twice order once.
I had to file the ends of the frets and leveled them with the fret rocker.NOW it's what a tele should be!!!! Great neck for the price. I think I'll order one for my strat
Very good stuff... great wood quality and excellent fret job. There's no mistake buying at stewmac!
The fret ends were sticking out bayonet style but after filing them all down with my StewMac fret end file they were tamed. The frets needed a little leveling too. The plastic nut was perfectly serviceable but I decided to swap it out for a Tusq replacement mostly because I like to tinker. Now that it's all set up it plays very nicely with low action and no buzzing. The light finish on the back of the neck is just enough for me. As always, Stewmac delivers faster than anyone else. .
Great neck...replaced a problem neck with this item...very good price for a quality item. Highly recommended.
This project was my first time building a telecaster, and you folks at Stew Mac made my experience a dream. The maple fingerboard neck I purchased was perfect. It fit into the pocket just right, the frets were spot on, and the action adjusted right down to where I like it with zero buzz anywhere on the neck. The string slots in the nut were spaced perfectly, and left me enough space to bring the strings down to a close tolerance.
Am I a happy guy? You bet! Would I recommend this product? You bet! I have, and will always recommend Stew Mac for the quality of the products they sell and the professional and timely service I have always received. Thank you Stew Mac. Chris Marvin
