Best paths come from bumps in the road

I love your post...so very similar to my quilting life. I too work in a quilt shop, and I too began my time there when the children were small. They are grown, I am a Grandma now ( a huge joyous part of my life) and I just got home from teaching my quilting class. I teach three times weekly.
I know God will continue to direct your path. Continue to have faith in HIS plan. In fact in my class tonight they were all teasing about what heaven would be like. They said they wanted it to be like a HUGE quilt shop and that I would be the teacher there. I can only smile at the blessing quilting has been in my life.

You are so honest in your blogs... I love them. Put Him first and He will direct your path. The quilt is beautiful! I just ordered the pattern for your Lattice Quilt and fabric to make it for my granddaughter who is getting married soon but now I want to make this one as well! I just have to order the kit!
ReplyDelete Thanks...you brought back a sweet memory for me today...last May I traveled 1500 miles to help my daughter move from SLC to Oregon. We had such a nice time together and the last day we were there she asked if there was anywhere I'd like to go. So of course I asked if it was very far to a town called Orem :) and I got to see that sweet quilt store!! Wish we could have run into you but we loved the store and bought some lovely fabric!
ReplyDeletei can't even begin to explain how much i miss american quilting. that was the shop where i took my first quilting class (amy's beginning piecing class), made my first saturday sampler with lots of guidance and help from the random ladies who've been quilting for a lot longer than me, and where i first learned to love the feel of quality fabric. i spent hours browsing that store, even when i had no money because we were poor graduate students with two kids. it was the place i always for gift certificates to (yes, i will spend other people's money on my fabric addiction!). and i miss knowing that someone at AQ will have answers to my quilting conundrums. There are no LQS remotely close to AQ out here in arkansas and i feel the pain. i'm so jealous that you got to work there. someday i will work in a shop like AQ.

Amy, thanks for sharing the store. I love the way you described how hard things can seem and the power of prayer. I am glad you were open to this wonderful possibility and that you share your talents with us.
ReplyDelete As my big sister, I've always appreciated your advice and example. This, again, gives me great perspective and hope that admist our current trials, great blessings can come if we are open to it. You mentioned that God is involved in the details of our lives, which of course reminded me of that Neal A. Maxwell quote that ends, " to the degree that we allow him to be." Thanks for the reminder to always invite God into my life and to look for the silver lining :).

Thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to take a little peek into your life! I stumbled upon your blog almost 10 months ago when I was recovering from abdominal surgery, your posts brightened my day and gave me the inspiration to start quilting again!
God is full of surprises, and the case of your finding employment at the quilt store was just another example of life being all about the journey rather than the final destination! I am glad to hear that you and your husband and family are healthy again, that's more important than anything!
Personally, I could never be trusted to work in a quilt store, I would spend more than my paycheck would allow LOL! - Debbie T.November 9, 2011 at 5:47 PM
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I find myself in a similar situation. My hubby is losing his job at the end of the year. But, God is in control, he will provide, and I don't need to worry. Happy Quilting in your new adventures!
ReplyDelete Loved reading your story; and reminded me to hang in there, as hubby and I are going through a journey of our own. He has been out of work for a year now and I cannot work because I have an incurable form of leukemia which results in a weak immune system and fatigue. We are living on little money by I am learning that we have everything we need....what I have had to give up is just "extra stuff". Thank goodness for my stash lol. Am so happy it all worked out for you and do know that God sets us on different paths for a reason. Thus, I am waiting to find out what his lesson is in this one.
The quilt is lovely...I like the fun colors and simplicity of it.Amy, I really look forward to each of your entries, and I love that you shared this with your readers. I find that I am at a crossroads, and am trying to find the right path for me and our family. It's not easy, and it's nice to be reminded that those little bumps are the ones that truly help us find our way. Thanks for that!
The quilt is wonderful -- such great, lively colors. Love it! :)I love this post. It's amazing what 4 hours a month in a place where like minded people are can do for you. I have been at my quilt shop for almost a year and I am amazed at how much has changed in my sewing/quilting/blogging life because of it. And I am so so glad that the very first time I visited AQ happened to be a day you were there.
ReplyDeleteMy eyes are brimming so it's kinda hard to see the keyboard (so not a touch typist) thank-you for sharing your story I loved every second of it because it is precious to hear about you and how your life is being worked out so carefully..like the quilts we make! Great to hear you are going well and I can understand sadness at leaving something so neat (petting fabric and getting paid for it says it all!! I would love that job too!) as your quilt shop job.. I have been through similar but it is ok cause somehow the bumps do get ironed over so nicely. Yay!!Glory to God!!! This has been a very encouraging time to read your post today, thankyou! I am sure are many more good stories to come too!
ReplyDeleteThis really touched my heart this morning. I worked at a LQS for two years, right after our first grandchild passed away and it was the most difficult time in our lives. I do medical transcription at home, but I needed to get OUT of the house and the job came at the perfect time in my life. I made good friends, learned lots (nothing like working retail to learn a lot about people!) and spent my time with gorgeous fabric instead of crying at home all the time. Thanks for writing this, Amy.
ReplyDeleteDear Amy: I could only come to the store on Saturdays so I saw you there often and you helped me with so many things. But isn't life wonderful and time gives us so much perspective. You can look back now and see so many blessings from trying to increase your talents and help with your family. We just try to do our best and bumps in the road are God's way of giving us a little different vision of what is really important. Best wishes to you always.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful post. Your message is both a comfort and an inspiration Jx
ReplyDelete Thanks so much for taking the time to write this post. It was full of peace and hope. It was wonderful to read this on Tuesday, the day my husband lost his job. I felt comforted from reading this and I'm so glad you chose that day to post it. It really was a tender mercy on a really hard day. Thanks.

Wakefield joins exclusive club started by Hall of Famer Satchel Paige
By Freddy Berowski
Satchel Paige called it the realization of the last of his three great dreams – to play in the major leagues, to pitch in the World Series and to be selected to the league's All-Star Game.
For Paige, that first All-Star selection came in 1952, just days before his 46th birthday. He made his big league debut and pitched in the World Series in 1948 – just a few of many highlights that resulted in Paige being elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1971.
This year, the dream of making the league's All-Star team happened for Red Sox hurler Tim Wakefield. The 17-year-veteran was selected for his first All-Star team just days ago by manager American League skipper Joe Maddon.
The 42 year-old Wakefield earned his selection by compiling a 10-3 mark in the first half for the Boston Red Sox. While his ERA, WHIP and strikeout totals may not match up to those of some of his fellow All-Stars, Maddon explained Wakefield's selection, stating: "Wakefield is having a good year, obviously, pitches in Boston and he's had a tremendous body of work throughout his entire career… I just felt that getting him on a team was the right thing to do."
Wakefield is only the third player in major league history to make his All-Star debut in his 40s. He follows two other pitchers: Paige in 1952 and Jamie Moyer in 2003 – who both earned their first All-Star berths at age 40.
Freddy Berowski is a library associate at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Tip #4:
The direct sound field is defined as sound reaching the microphone directly from the sound source without having been reflected off walls, ceilings, floors or other reflective surfaces. In the direct sound field, the null of the pickup pattern can be directed at an unwanted sound source, thus substantially reducing feedback or sound leakage. Question: What is the best pickup pattern to use in conjunction with a floor monitor? Why? Answer: Usually cardioid, because it's easy to aim the rear null of the cardioid pattern at the monitor. |

Town Board In N.Y. Revises Booing Ban
By editor
Originally published on Fri March 22, 2013 9:55 am
Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Lawmakers in Riverhead, New York heard the voice of the people, a very loud boo. The town board made news by banning people from booing at meetings, which apparently met with criticism since Newsday reports they have revised the rule. You may boo at meetings now, but there is still a prohibition against disruptive behavior. So, how to boo without being disruptive? Maybe this way: Wait your turn to speak and then say: My name is Steve. Boo?

It's different than most pyrex I've seen as the interior of the bowl is not white - it's clear. The bottom of the bowl is clear glass. It's got some wear and tear + the color makes me think it's old, but I could be totally wrong - maybe it's from Kmart 2 years ago. Anyone know anything about this piece? Regardless, I'm totally smitten by the color. I don't have anything like it and I'm happy just looking at it on my shelf. Which is really what matters when collecting 'stuff', right?

vicki from spun sugar quilts as a post about doing apple cores. I am always hoping to score cute quilting wips like that at the thrift store. So far I have only found 80s stuff and double knit polyester. It WILL happen, and I'm gonna have fun accumulating other junk in the meantime.

I have the green Pyrex bowl too. It was the largest bowel of a set of three. The other two are yellow and green. I got them as a wedding gift 20 years ago, so I guess you could consider them old. I love the spider web quilt. What a great find.

What beautiful treasures you have there. Your little spider web will be precious hanging in your sewing room. I hope you will show us your progress on the apple cores.

I saw an apple core tutorial on Vicki Eapen's Spun Sugar Quilts blog recently. Very pretty!
- November 4, 2011 at 7:48 AM
I'm with TammyW--I think your bowl may be 20-25 years old. I bought a set of Pyrex bowls in that style, but in a different colorway, when I first set up housekeeping fresh out of college. (Where do the years go?!) Now my son is using them; they have held up well.

You always have the most amazing vintage finds!
One of my long-term WIP's is an apple core quilt. I tried and tried to machine piece them but I couldn't seem to master it with any consistency so I'm hand piecing. It's my traveling project and I'm actually kinda glad that I'm hand-sewing this quilt.

I have that bowl! And, I love it. I purchased mine as part of a set of three in 1992. The green bowl was the largest, there was a peach/nude coloured bowl for the middle size and the smallest is a honey colour. I use it all the time, for serving, mixing, whatever! Haven't used it for fabric though but your photo inspires me!

I see you have the answer on your bowl. I have that set of three too -- I thought I received it as a wedding gift 30+ years ago, but maybe I bought it about twenty years ago. So, sadly, not 40's/50's -- more like 80's/90's. Love that fabric!

You have an eye for vintage, those colours are just lovely together of the bowl and the fabrics..and it should be a stimulating challenge to get that apple core quilt together. Thanks for sharing and I hope you find the info you are looking for..

I love your apple cores! I just cut a set from some Kaffe Fassett charm squares and some shot cottons. I made a smaller core out of template plastic so I can mark 1/4" seam allowances and hand-piece them. I'll have to see how it goes!

Nothing I suppose, if you put it that way. I'm just thinking of character perspective. Were a fight to break out in front of me, I think "I've got a bomb." would probably not be on my list of things to say, specially' around already panicked dudes.

michelle kaufmann infuses modular housing with sophisticated, eco-conscious design.

Michelle Kaufmann (in her own Glidehouse) and her staff consistently try to maximize the relationship between house and site.

The rusted, corrugated metal cladding on a custom Sunset Breezehouse picks up the red hue of the tiled roofs that populate its Santa Barbara, Calif., surroundings.

By creating entire communities--such as Big Wave in Half Moon Bay, Calif.--MKD will be able to vastly increase the number of sustainable dwellings in its portfolio.
Kaufmann and her husband outfitted the their Glidehouse with solar panels.
At another Glidehouse in Ukiah, Calif., the kitchen island doubles as a casual dining spot. "We're in the middle of a cultural shift," she says of this move toward multipurpose features. "We want homes that aren't necessarily bigger but do more, like an i
A three-story fireplace-and-cabinetry elements serves as the centerpieceof the mkHearth, the latest addition to MKD's stable of prefab home types. Its form recalls barns and farmhouses in the Midwest, where Kaufmann grew up.
A green-roofed mkLotus temporarily graced the lawn in front of San Francisco City Hall in 2007. Conceived as a retreat or vacation home, it was installed as part of that year's West Coast Green conference.
JB Spector, courtesy Michelle Kaufmann Designs
Currently on display at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry as part of the exhibit Smart Home: Green + Wired, mkSolaire is designed to slip into slim city lots. The 2,500-square-foot house will be open for tours until Jan. 4, 2009.
It all started with a headache. In 2001 Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, LEED AP, and her new husband, general contractor and wood craftsman Kevin Cullen, moved into a rented bungalow in Sausalito, Calif. She experienced one migraine, then another. Soon the pain became an unwelcome nightly ritual for which she and Cullen couldn't pinpoint a trigger.
Until they investigated inside the bungalow's walls and found an unchecked spread of toxic mold. The mold, it turned out, was causing the headaches. But it also caused Kaufmann—who'd spent the previous five years working for Frank Gehry, FAIA—to begin thinking about the impact people's homes have on their health. She researched nontoxic materials and products, becoming more intrigued with every discovery. When she and Cullen decided to look for a different house, they noticed that many of the features they wanted—natural light, fresh air, and low energy bills, along with a definite absence of mold—fell into the green building category.
Discouraged by a lack of available green housing options, they decided to design and build their own home on land they'd bought about 25 miles north of San Francisco. The events that followed have been well-documented in the press: Kaufmann designed a house for Cullen to build, and friends and colleagues asked if they could have something similar. Their requests sparked her idea of mass-producing the design. She found an interested factory and a client willing to take a chance on a prefab house. In the end, Kaufmann and Cullen's stick-built home took 14 months to construct, while the identical prefab version took just four months and cost 20 percent less. It also produced, according to her calculations, 50 percent to 75 percent less construction waste.
The stark contrast between the two projects sold Kaufmann on the virtues of prefab. "I became so focused on my mission, which is to make thoughtful, sustainable design accessible,"she says. "Everybody should be able to have a green house. For it to be accessible, it has to be time-efficient, cost-efficient, and easy."
How did Michelle Kaufmann, AIA, LEED AP, go from designing titanium-clad museums to modular homes? The answer is more straightforward than many might think. "Most people would look at our work and say, This is nothing like Frank Gehry," she says. "But I learned so much working there."
Over her five years as an associate in Gehry's office, she noticed that the most successful projects were the ones on which the contractors and the architects collaborated the most closely. "We worked together to figure out the best way of building," she says. "So even though it's not a design/build company per se, it gave me the experience of a similar process."
Plus, she adds, many pieces of Gehry's buildings are actually CNC-milled and prefabricated—the better to attain their curvy shapes. "A lot of times, ribs or entire curved panels were made off site," she says. "Most of his buildings have a significant amount of prefab."
Enough, it seems, to help a creative young architect start thinking about other ways prefab technology could be put to use.
In the five years since she started her firm, the Iowa State University- and Princeton University-educated Kaufmann has made remarkable progress in achieving this mission. Michelle Kaufmann Designs (MKD) has built 33 green, modular homes to date, mostly on the West Coast. Some have been custom. Othersare off-the-shelf or "preconfigured" residences, such as the Glidehouse, which is based on her own home, and the Sunset Breezehouse, which features a central space that opens to the outdoors. Other preconfigured offerings include mkSolaire, designed specifically for narrow urban lots; mkLotus, aretreat or vacation home; and the new mkHearth, a modern farmhouse based on barns in Kaufmann's native Iowa. (All preconfigured houses are tailored to the owners' sites and offer a carefully vetted palette of eco-friendly materials and systems.) Thirty employees buzz busily around the firm's Oakland, Calif., headquarters, which possesses the same design sensibilities as its houses: clean lines; simple, yet high-quality materials; and an overall sense of calm and order.
Since 2006, the firm has built many projects in its own factory, mkConstructs, in Lakewood, Wash. MKD purchased it from another modular housing company, retaining much of the existing staff and recruiting new workers to ensure the highest possible building quality. "Now we're taking what we've learned in all the construction phases and applying that to our designs," says Paul Warner, AIA, a principal at MKD who oversaw the transition to an in-house factory. "We're taking advantage of the fact that we are true design/builders." Kaufmann believes one of her firm's biggest strengths is its ability to learn from its mistakes, and being closely involved with the factory process gives her and her staff more opportunity to do so.

Capital HarnessXC
Rapidly create detailed, manufacturing-ready harness designs
Capital HarnessXC enables harness engineers to create fully detailed, validated and manufacturing-ready harness designs rapidly and easily.
Conceived from the ground up to be highly configurable, companies can tailor the tool to meet their precise needs, both in terms of graphical outputs and they way designs are created and validated.
In addition, rules-based Collaborative Design Merge functions provide automated integration of multi-source design inputs at a detailed level, simplifying the task, and raising the efficiency of collaborative design.
Features and Benefits
- Powerful graphical harness design environment
- Automated harness engineering, validation and reporting
- Collaborative Design Merge raises efficiency of multi-site, parallel design
- Seamless integration with other Capital tools
- Powerful data integration interfaces with major MCAD platforms
- Fully option and variant enabled
- Graphical Styling Templates provide multiple, 'single-click', drawing formats
Capital Training
Automated Engineering and Validation
Part selection routines automatically add wires, multicores, terminals, seals, cavity plugs, tapes, tubes, heat-shrink sleeves and all other harness components to create a full manufacturing bill-of-materials.
Multiple, configurable, design-rule-checks are provided to ensure the final design meets the organization's defined best-practices.
Automated engineering functions calculate: manufacturing wire lengths, bundle diameters, optimized splice positions, taping quantities, harness weight and other quantities describing the finished design.
Option and Variants (OV) Management
Multiple harness variants can be managed from a single150% design. The tool automatically identifies which components are assigned to which variant and compiles the manufacturing bills-of-material for each.
Collaborative Design Merge
Design changes from MCAD and other tools can be merged into existing harness designs continuously - without overwriting locally mastered design details and attributes. "Change policies" are used to control how Capital HarnessXC should respond to design changes originating from multiple sources; the system automatically assesses the design change impact and applies the changes to the harness design.
Data-Centric Architecture
Capital Integrator is built on a data-centric backbone that integrates each and every part of the design process, streamlining the flow of information as the design matures, and eliminating the requirement to manipulate files. Capital Integrator's data-centric backbone simplifies the data management task and eliminates many of the time-consuming and error-prone data-entry tasks required with traditional design tools.
Project management, design management, change management and transparent integration with other enterprise applications are key capabilities of the system.
Graphical Styling Templates
Capital HarnessXC offers a unique capability to render multiple graphical representations from the same design via configurable Graphical Styling Templates. Using this, companies can create reference designs conforming to consistent in-house standards and styles, and automatically re-render the design – on demand - into the required styles of their customer/supplier organizations.
Design Change Management
The data-centric architecture of Capital is designed to facilitate change processes. Multiple change management capabilities are provided such as tabular & graphical difference reports; version management; and compatibility control ("build lists").
Project and Process Management
Project norms such as naming conventions, design rule checks, customer options & variants can be defined and automatically applied. Process constraints such as release management sequence, design locking, user permissions and component naming can be mandated.
Extend Capital HarnessXC
Capital Insight
Configurable real time metrics to guide engineering decisions
Engineers often have multiple choices as they progress a design , whether at an early architectural optimization stage or for detailed component selection. These choices impact the ultimate cost, profitability, weight, component count, and a variety of other parameters that contribute towards making the best decisions.
Capital Insight gives engineers real time visibility of the impact of their decisions, and allows systematic trade-off studies to be rapidly conducted. Cost, weight and many other metrics can be compared between designs using a variety of graphical and tabular reporting formats. Metrics are easily configured and can be customized to support business objectives and reflect corporate intellectual property.
Benefits and Features
- Easy to use real time metrics display and comparison tool
- Provides on screen feedback to engineers plus formal reporting outputs
- Manages multiple design scenarios for systematic comparison studies
- Highly configurable metrics underpin support of corporate objectives
- Can use data created within Capital and externally
- Helps engineers make the best decisions and maximize their value-add
- Compatible with Capital Topology, Capital Integrator, Capital HarnessXC, Capital ModularXC

Breathing that slows down or stops from any cause is called apnea.
Respiration slowed or stopped; Not breathing; Respiratory arrest; Apnea
Apnea can come and go and be temporary. This can occur with obstructive sleep apnea, for example.
Prolonged apnea means a person has stopped breathing. If the heart is still active, the condition is known as respiratory arrest. This is a life-threatening event that requires immediate medical attention and first aid.
Prolonged apnea accompanied by lack of any heart activity in a person who is not responsive is called cardiac (or cardiopulmonary) arrest. In infants and children, the most common cause of cardiac arrest is respiratory arrest. In adults, the opposite usually occurs - cardiac arrest leads to respiratory arrest.
Apnea can occur for many different reasons. The most common causes of apnea in infants and small children are usually different from the most common causes in adults.
Common causes of apnea in infants and young children include:
Common causes of apnea in adults include:
Other causes of apnea include:
Seek immediate medical attention or call your local emergency number (such as 911) if a person with any type of breathing problem:
If a person has stopped breathing, call for emergency help and perform CPR (if you know how). When in a public place, look for an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and follow the directions.
CPR or other emergency measures will be done in an emergency room or by an ambulance emergency medical technician (EMT) or paramedic.
Once the patient is stable, the health care provider will do a physical exam, which includes listening to heart sounds and breath sounds.
Questions will be asked about the person's medical history and symptoms, including:
Diagnostic tests that may be done include:

Mequon — Homestead High School senior Katie Wilson is about to test her snowboading skills on the international stage.
Wilson is leaving this weekend for Yabuli, China for her first ever showing at the 2015 Junior World Championships. The 17-year-old Mequon resident, who started competing when she was six years old, has spent the last 10 years training with the MWB Team at Sunburst Ski Area in Kewaskum. She continued competing in the local USASA Midwest Best Snowboard & Freeski Series and has competed at the USASA National Championships since she started.
For the 2014-2015 season, Katie trained at Sugarloaf, ME with Michael Mallon, Carrabasset Valley Academy's program director for snowboardcross. Under Coach Mallon's guidance, Katie earned her spot at the FIS Junior World Snowboard Championships in Yabuli China.
Gov. Scott Walker recently recognized Katie's achievement with a note of congratulations, along with an American flag that was flown over the State Capitol building. Wilson said she is honored to represent American in the competition.
"I am proud and honored to represent the United States. It's my dream to represent the United States at the Olympics. Junior Worlds is a big step in that direction," she said. "I can't thank Mike (Mallon), my sponsors Les Moise, Smith Optics and Kessler and my parents enough for their support."
Nicolet swim team, orchestra to host rummage on Saturday, March 14
Glendale – The Nicolet High School Orchestra and swim team will hold their 25th annual rummage sale from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 14, in the Nicolet High School cafeteria.
Members of the two groups have been collecting sellable items of all varieties to sell at this annual event, which normally raises between $4,000 and $8,000. The funds raised from tis event are used to offset extra-budgetary items, such as equipment, trips and scholarships.
Tax-deductible donations of either sellable items or money will be accepted in the cafeteria from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, March 13. They cannot accept tube televisions or computer monitors or printers due to the high cost of recycling unsold items.
If you have large items that need to be picked up, or for additional information, contact orchestra director Jamin Hoffman at (414) 351-8173.
Ozaukee County to spend up to $1 million on lakefront development
Port Washington — Ozaukee County will spend up to $1 million to help finance a new lakefront nature preserve that will be a key selling point for an adjacent development that includes high-end homes, a vineyard and a winery, under a proposal approved Wednesday.
The Ozaukee County Board agreed to provide the funds for a $2 million purchase of 101 acres, including 1.25 miles of Lake Michigan shoreline, in a semirural part of Port Washington. The nature preserve would be north of the county-owned Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve and would feature hiking trails.
The parcel is part of 227 acres, mainly farmland, that is mostly east of Highway C/Lake Shore Road, near Stonecroft Drive.
Chicago-area developer Tom Swarthout is buying the entire site. He plans to create the $50 million Cedar Vineyard mixed-use development, with 68 high-end homes and a vineyard east of Highway C, as well as five homes and a winery west of the road.
Swarthout is selling the nature preserve site, appraised at $3.4 million, to the Ozaukee Washington Land Trust. The trust eventually will turn over the preserve to Ozaukee County.

Brown Deer — Village officials have regained control of the former American TV and Appliance site in order to close a deal with two prospective users.
The village first purchased the 80,000-square-foot building and 10-acre lot at 6700 W. Brown Deer Road for $2.6 million in April 2014. Six months later, the village dropped its purchase offer with from Frontline Commercial Real Estate President John Schlueter, giving Schlueter the flexibility needed to market the property and attract new occupants. Now that Schlueter has found two tenants, the village on Monday repurchased the property for the same $2.6 million to ensure the deal goes through.
"The village thought the time to move forward was now, and we didn't want to lose those users," said Nate Piotrowski, the village's community development director. "There was some concern that the deal wouldn't happen if the village didn't take control of the property."
One user, a light manufacturing and warehousing company, would occupy the former American TV and Applicance building, as well as some additional land on the site. The second user, a retail store, would build a store on an outlot space along Brown Deer Road.
The village is negotiating sale contracts with those two companies, with an expectation that the deal will be finalized in the next 45 to 60 days, Piotrowski said. The sale of the property would be contingent upon the appropriateness of the users' proposed site plans, which would be decided by the Village Board.
Student radio station gets fuzzy reception in Whitefish Bay
Whitefish Bay — A proposal to start a Whitefish Bay student radio station was met with fuzzy reception from school administration, who feared the radio station could take away funds from other needs in the district.
The idea of a student-run radio station was first proposed by Whitefish Bay resident John Davis in November 2013, when he asked the school board to complete a FCC application for the 103.3 FM frequency that had recently become available. The school board agreed at that time to complete the application, with the understanding that the district was not obligated to construct a radio station or facilitate a radio program in the future.
The FCC approved Whitefish Bay's application in October, giving Whitefish Bay permission to broadcast on a transmission that would carry 3.5 miles and feature music, student talk shows and live broadcasts of Blue Dukes sports games. Since that time, the school district's administration has conducted a feasibility study that concluded a radio station would open the district up to potential expenses and liability.
To determine how much the radio station would cost, district administrators contacted Wisconsin's only two student-run radio stations, which are in Sheboygan and Burlington. Wisconsin does not have any purely extra-curricular student radio stations, so administrators did not have any examples of what an extra-curricular radio station format could look like in Whitefish Bay.
» Read Full ArticleNicolet robotics team takes second in competition
Glendale — The Nicolet F.E.A.R. robotics team finished in top ranks of a 59-team tournament last weekend.
The Nicolet team was part of a three-team alliance that scored second in the Northern Lights Regional in Duluth, Minn. This year's competition challenged three-team alliances to a recycling-themed game in which robots score points by stacking tote bins on scoring platforms, capping those stacks with recycling containers and disposing of foam pool noodles, which represent litter.
The team was also awarded the Underwriters Laboratories Safety Award, which celebrates teams that use innovative ways of eliminating hazards in the competition.
Adam Thiel, the team's lead mentor, said the team of 63 students, is starting to improve its rankings after three years in existence. Nicolet F.E.A.R. is now gearing up for the Wisconsin regional competition on March 19-21 at the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena.
Shorewood boys basketball team beats Madison in regional, 63-60
Momentum lost, momentum found.
Shorewood boys basketball coach Phil Jones watched it go back and forth in the waning minutes of his team's 63-60 WIAA Division 2 regional quarterfinal win over Milwaukee James Madison Tuesday night.
"That's the key word, momentumn," he said. "We had to shift the momentum back when they got it. ...The kids got rattled for awhile and that's a little out of character for them, but they got it together in time, because the season is about ups and downs and making plays when you need them."
With the victory, the Greyhounds (13-10) advanced to a WIAA D2 regional semifinal at 7 p.m. Friday, March 6 at regional top seed Milwaukee Washington (17-5). Whitefish Bay is the number two seed on the other side of the bracket and the regional final is slated for Saturday night.
Jones would like to see the Greyhounds keep moving one foot in front of the other and making plays like the series of efforts that helped seal the deal down the stretch against Madison.
» Read Full ArticleUW Marching Band visits Nicolet this weekend
Glendale — The University of Wisconsin Marching Band will paint the Nicolet High School gymnasium red with Badger spirit on Saturday, March 7.
The Badger Band will come to Nicolet for the school's biannual Band Together fundraising concert, which benefits the four school district foundations of Fox Point-Bayside, Glendale-River Hills, Maple Dale-Indian Hill and Nicolet High School. The show will begin at 2 p.m., but attendees are encouraged to arrive an hour earlier for pre-concert festivities, including sports team mascots, concessions, an instrument petting zoo, a silent auction and a performance from a student rock band called Stacked.
The Band Together event started in 2011, and was held again in 2013. The two previous events each raised about $20,000, which was shared equally by the four school foundations . The funds are used to provide new technology, capital equipment and innovative school programming.
In addition to raising money for local schools, Nicolet band director Michael McDowell said the UW Marching Band puts on a great live show. He said the event creates an excitement about UW-Madison for students who are considering attending the university.
"Any connection that we can make to UW is a great way to bridge that transition," McDowell said.
» Read Full ArticleBrown Deer approves amendment to TIF district
Brown Deer — The Brown Deer Village Board unanimously approved an amendment to TIF District #2 that aims to spur redevelopment near Bradley Road and 47th Street.
The amendment would add 12 acres of land that includes the former Algonquin School site, the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site and a small amount of land owned by Milwaukee County. A TIF district would allow the village to spend an estimated $3.5 million on land improvements designed to spur residential development.
The village plans to spend $1.4 million to buy the former Lighthouse of Brown Deer site from New Perspectives Senior Living, which is building a larger, four-story assisted living center on 60th Street, north of Brown Deer Road. Village officials also estimate they will spend $1.7 million to install sewer, water and other public utilities for future residential development. Any expenditures the village chooses to make would have to be made by 2017.
The village's expenditures would be recouped through the additional tax revenue generated by future development. Village officials estimate residential development on that 12 acres of land could create an estimated $5.5 million in additional value, including $1.5 million on the 3-acre Lighthouse site and $4 million on the 9-acre Algonquin School site.
The village, school district and other taxing bodies would not receive any of the additional tax revenue generated by future developments until the village's infrastructure costs are recouped, which is expected to happen in 2022.

No one knows when the last time the Shorewood girls basketball team won a WIAA regional title.
That information may be lost to the dusty pages of history.
All that coach Jeff Eimers and his over-achieving Greyhounds know, is that before a noisy home crowd backed by the boisterous Shorewood Pep Band, they made a little history Saturday night.
Some simply amazing history.
The Greyhounds used a stifling defense to hold visiting Whitefish Bay to just three second half field goals, only one of whch was scored when it mattered. They coupled that to an aggressive to-the-basket offense and were rewarded with a 52-40 WIAA D2 regional final victory.
» Read Full Article'Project Runway' star, fiancé mesh styles and make small Shorewood apartment work
When it was announced that local artist Miranda Levy would appear on Season 12 of "Project Runway" on Bravo TV, I attempted to reach her lots of ways. I finally connected with her via social media and remember thinking how poised she seemed in that 140-character realm.
Except that it wasn't her at all, I learned fairly quickly. It was her fiancé, Michael Adler, who convincingly channeled his significant other, virtually and sans the Bettie Page bangs, during her months of shooting the reality TV show.
"He still runs my Twitter feed," says Levy, who became known on the show for her pencil skirts and self-described "nerdy" looks. "He's a good partner. I think he knows me better than anyone does."
It isn't every couple that can share a Twitter account. Maybe that explains how these two artists who both create art at home can share a New York-sized apartment in Shorewood.
Adler is a musician and illustrator who studies computer engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and works full time. Levy is a fashion designer and artist who works for the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend.
» Read Full ArticleConstruction begins on Shorewood Metro Market project
Shorewood — Demolition began Tuesday, Feb. 24, on Shorewood's old Walgreens building, paving the way for a two-story Metro Market grocery store, a four-story parking garage and a six-story building on Oakland Avenue.
Once the Walgreens and neighboring Harry W. Schwartz Bookshop are demolished, construction crews will begin work on the Metro Market grocery store.
Shorewood's existing Pick 'n Save will remain open until May when demolition begins on that building.
In the fall, construction will begin on the six-story, mixed-use building featuring upscale apartments and 15,000 square feet of retail space.
The new development will occupy the entire two blocks between Kenmore and Olive Streets on the west side of Oakland Avenue, replacing the current Pick 'n Save and abandoned Schwartz and Walgreens facilities.
» Read Full ArticleShorewood school superintendent is a finalist for West Allis-West Milwaukee job
Shorewood — Shorewood School District Superintendent Marty Lexmond is one of three finalists for an open superintendent position in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District.
Lexmond said his interest in the West Allis-West Milwaukee position has nothing to do with a recent petition signed by more than 100 Shorewood residents urging the Shorewood School Board not to renew Lexmond's contract. Lexmond's contract automatically renewed on Feb. 1 for one year.
Lexmond said the opportunity in West Allis-West Milwaukee allows him to return to his roots in urban education. His career began with field experiences at North Division High School, seven years at Vincent High School and mentoring new teachers in Milwaukee middle schools.
Lexmond said his experience in Milwaukee Public Schools — combined with the leadership lessons he learned in Shorewood and Kohler — have given him skills to address challenges that come with a racially and economically diverse district such as West Allis-West Milwaukee.
"It's a district I've watched for quite a while. It provides a unique opportunity to bring together my experience in urban and suburban education," he said. "It's a really interesting opportunity that comes with greater diversity, larger size and more economic diversity."

West Allis-West Milwaukee superintendent include the superintendents at Shorewood and Greendale and a regional superintendent at Milwaukee Public Schools.
The finalists forShorewood Superintendent Marty Lexmond, Greendale Superintendent John Tharp and MPS Regional Superintendent Jesse Rodriguez met with parents and community members at the district Saturday, in a forum broadcast on Time Warner Cable Channel 13.
The West Allis-West Milwaukee School Board is scheduled to discuss the finalists tonight during a closed session meeting.
The board plans to name a new superintendent on or before April 1. That person will take over the district starting July 1. Former West Allis superintendent Kurt Wachholz abruptly retired at the end of July 2014 after several years of rapid -- and in some cases controversial -- changes in the district.
Wrong-way drunken driver arrested on I-43
A 27-year-old woman was arrested for driving the wrong way on I-43 after leaving a Milwaukee nightclub early Sunday morning.
Traveling northbound in the southbound lane, Sade Franklin side-swiped another car near Capitol Drive and crashed into a median south of Hampton Avenue, according to the Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office. The driver of the vehicle she struck said he saw the vehicle heading toward him and he attempted to swerve, but the wrong-way driver also swerved and struck him.
Glendale police and deputies arrested Franklin around 2:27 a.m. Sunday for drunken driving and recklessly endangering safety, which carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. Franklin told police she had one drink at Club 618 at 618 N. Water Street in Milwaukee, and then entered the freeway at the Highland Avenue off-ramp.
