Gave as a gift
I bought these for my friends 1 year old son and she loved them. They are super cute and comfortable for a baby that is learning to walk. My son learned to walk in crocs so I thought that it would be a great gift for my friends son.
These crocs are so cute. I bought each of my grandaughters a pair and they love them. They are the only shoes they want to put on. They are great for summer. My youngest granddaughter is 1 1/2 and she likes that she can put them on herself.

My 2.5 yr old will only wear his Mickey Mouse shoes literally every day for the past 8 mos. Even though he wears the same shoes everyday they seem extremely comfortable for him and the easiness of off and on is of course great for mom and dad.

Tracking the progress of Vance Albitz
I first told you about Vance Albitz in the fall of 2011. As if to prove my point that he's a scrappy player who will do what it takes to win, he's worked his way up to Memphis in the Cardinals system. Not bad for a guy who went undrafted and only got a contract in a major league system because a low minor league team ran out of players late in the season.
He's not putting up big numbers at the plate, but judging from this video (link sent to me by his father), he deserves a shot at the show on defensive play alone.
He's also started in nice charity called Gloves for Troops.
Photos: A night a Buddy Guy's Legends night club in Chicago with the Kinsey Report
In Chicago for the first-ever LION Publishers Conference at Columbia University and I realized that this was my seventh visit to Chicago (if I'm counting right) and I've never been to a blues club. What brought this to my attention is that Buddy Guy's Legends club is near my hotel. Last night, a group of us LIONs went out to dinner and and then to Legends.
Dinner was at Quartino Ristorante. Good food, but perhaps the highlight of the night was the bathroom attendant. When I walked in the men's room, the smartly dressed attended was dancing to the some blues music. I told him that we were going to Buddy Guy's place later. He told me he grew up with Buddy Guy's kids. He told me he knew Greg Guy really well and said that if I told Greg I knew Theop, I wouldn't have to pay the cover charge.
Naturally, I took that with a grain of salt.
But when I mentioned my little encounter with Theop to the security guy who was standing next to the mixing booth, he said, "this is Greg right here." So I met Greg Guy. He is in fact long-time friends with Theop. Greg was really nice — we spoke a little bit more through the course of the evening. Near the end of the night, Greg jammed with the Kinsey Report. (I didn't ask to waive the cover charge — I was very happy that they let me bring my camera in with me. The only restriction was, no long lens. But by the end of the night, they were letting me use my 70-200mm lens).
The Kinsey Report was an outstanding band. Super tight. Great chops all the way around. The band is from Gary, Ind., and is comprised of Donald Kinsey, Ralph Kinsey, Kenneth Kinsey and Nic Byrd.
The Batavian's basic rules for scanner reporting
Once again, scanner reporting is controversial.
The Batavian does a lot of scanner reporting. It works for us.
It's not hard to find people in our coverage area who say they love The Batavian, that they're addicted to it, that they check it multiple times a day or at least first thing every morning or last thing at night. The number one reason people give is that we're right on top of things. We have more news faster. People like knowing why the fire trucks just went down Main Street or why all of the police cars are gathered at the end of their block.
The Web makes it possible to report real-time news that simply didn't exist in paper or broadcast eras and readers simply expect real-time news these days and will reward it with their attention the sites that give it to them.
We have the largest audience in Genesee County and our audience is four to five times larger than a newspaper Web site in any other similar-sized market (that's the subject of a future report).
As I said, scanner reporting works for us. It isn't all we do, and we do go to scenes and do other kinds of reporting, but the foundation of The Batavian's success comes from how we've been able to use the scanner to keep the community informed.
Here are our rules for scanner reporting:
Do not report a possible crime in a way that might identify an individual unless a description is necessary to help identify a fleeing suspect.
Discussion: To report a group of people fighting in Austin Park will not reveal any identifying information about people involved. If a person is injured in the fight and a fleeing suspect description is given, publicizing the description might help police locate or identify that individual. In some cases, the name might be transmitted. We never use names transmitted over the scanner.
Do not report information that will jeopardize officer safety or thwart their ability to apprehend a suspect.
Discussion: If a tan sedan is fleeing down Warboys Road, you want people in the area to be on the lookout for a tan sedan, but you don't want to give away the position or pursuit tactics of law enforcement (on the off chance a suspect is carrying a smartphone and knows to check The Batavian for updates).
When we had an incident a couple of years ago where a warrant suspect high tailed it in the city and officers from multiple agencies were called along with a K-9 unit and a helicopter, people wanted to know what's going on. We reported the location of the suspect, but we didn't report the location of responding units or the nature of the response.
When a neighbor spotted two men going to into a house on Shepard Road and State Police thought the two men might still be inside when they arrived on scene, we waited hours to report anything (with the massive police action, if it had been in a more densely populated area, we wouldn't have waited). We didn't provide details on the police response. By the time we reported anything, we figured if they were still inside they had to be well aware of the dozens of police vehicles outside the house (full follow up report here).
Maintain a level of skepticism about information provided by dispatchers to first responders.
Discussion: In the initial minutes of any call, the only information a dispatcher has is what is provided by a caller about an event. Witnesses may misunderstand or be emotionally involved in a way that causes them to relay incorrect information. Further, the nature of communication is such that dispatchers may misunderstand or not correctly repeat information given to them. Sometimes the dispatcher informing first responders is not the dispatcher who spoke with the initial caller. This isn't to say never report what the dispatcher says, but the more specific and sensational the information coming from the dispatcher, the healthier a reporter's skepticism should be.
Basic dispatch information is generally safe.
Discussion: "Possible structure fire; callers report heavy smoke from a basement window of a residence on Ross Street," is likely to be correct information. We nearly always wait to post a possible fire when there's only one caller and there's no report of flames showing. In that situation, we wait for a fire chief to get on scene and relay back "we have a working structure fire," then report it.
It's generally safe to trust the statements of first responders.
Discussion: The transmissions from a scene are by people who are there and reporting what they're seeing and hearing. They are rarely wrong.
Never give details of medical condition of victims.
Discussion: Nobody needs to know the pulse rate of an accident victim. We had an accident victim recently where a medic reported the victim was not breathing on his own and bleeding from his mouth and ears. Those are unnecessary details that will upset family members. We confine a report in such a situation to "victim is unconscious." We can convey a lot of the seriousness of the situation by reporting that Mercy Flight is responding.
Never use names off the scanner.
Discussion: I mentioned this earlier, but it's true whether it's a medical situation or a criminal situation, never use names. In medical situations, we want to give officials as much opportunity as possible to make proper family notifications. For that reason, we also never use vehicle descriptions. In criminal situations, you don't want to risk misidentifying a suspect. We don't want to use the name of a suspect until it's released in person, on scene, by a police supervisor or through an official release. (Above, I link to a search in the city and in that story, you'll see we name the suspect; that name was confirmed in person with a on-scene supervisor.)
Never report a fatality off the scanner.
Discussion: Verify it in person, on scene. This can be difficult, because situations where Mercy Flight is cancelled and the Crash Management Team dispatched (a sign the victim is dead or first responders believe the victim could likely die) are indications of a fatality and significant events in the course of the incident.
Never make assumptions.
Discussion: This is one of the hardest rules to learn because your mind wants to connect dots, and sometimes, in reality, there's no connection. I wish off the top of my head, I could remember some of our mistakes we made in the early days of The Batavian by making assumptions, but we learned quickly any time we make an assumption, we're usually wrong. It's important to discipline yourself to stick just to the data transmitted and not go beyond it with information not specifically contained in a transmission.
There was an incident not long ago where I broke the rule on not being more skeptical about what dispatchers were transmitting and I made an assumption. A woman fell on a baby at a local business and the baby was unconscious and not breathing. CPR was being performed. It was a location where twice in the previous week police had been called to investigate either harassment allegations or an alleged violation of an order of protection. The dispatchers reported the woman had been assaulted. I reported all of this. It turned out, there was no crime. The woman fainted from a medical condition. That isn't one of my proudest moments.
It's good to be fast; it's also good to wait.
Discussion: There are times when it's obvious a call coming over the scanner is something that's real and worth reporting. Multiple calls on a head-on collision reporting possible serious injury is a good indication the information is accurate.
There are also times when it's best to wait for a first responder to get on scene. We never report "automatic alarm of fire." There's never been an actual fire. Someday, there will be, but so far an "automatic alarm of fire" has never turned out to be anything other than a false alarm. More than once we've heard fire departments being sent out based on one caller reporting smoke in the area and it's turned out to be a legal controlled burn (we report illegal controlled burns in April and May).
Being fast helps grow and retain readership, but when the information seems sketchy, it's better to wait and see if the information in the initial dispatch is true (and the more you listen to the scanner, the better you are at recognizing sketchy calls).
We do not report non-accident, non-crime medical calls.
There are two issues with medical calls. First is privacy. If somebody on Morton Avenue is having stomach pains, who's business is it? Not mine. While accidents and crimes are public issues that have broader implications, that can't be said for medical calls. The second reason is also a practical matter. On a routine day, there are a couple of dozen medical calls on the scanner. Who can keep up?
There is a triage sort of process on deciding what to report. Broadly defined, there are four types of calls on the scanner: Crime, fire, accident, medical (including overdoses and mental health). While not every crime, fire or accident in our coverage area will result in follow up coverage, any initial call of a crime, fire or accident could blossom into a bigger story. We believe in starting with the initial report, as a general rule, and it doesn't become something that warrants a follow up, at least people know what the initial call was about. We've had calls that started out sounding like not much turn into big deals and we were glad we captured those initial details.
Triage for crime: If weapons are involved, we're more likely to report it. If a suspect is on the loose and being pursued, we're more likely to report it. If there is a large law enforcement response, we're more likely to report it. If it involves a high-speed chase, we're more likely to report it. If it involves a large group of people in a populated area, we're more likely to report it.
Triage for fires: There needs to be a clear indication that it is a working structure fire to really get our attention. An automatic alarm of fire or smell of smoke in the residence might encourage us to listen for what the first responding chief finds, but will not be reported until there is confirmation of a working structure fire. Field fires only get reported during the n0-burn season in April and May, unless a first responder reports its out of control or threatening a structure.
Triage on accidents: Obviously, any accident that initial reports indicate could be a fatal will get an initial scanner report (without mentioning the fatality until we're on scene) and then I'll go to the accident. If Mercy Flight is responding or it is otherwise reported as serious injury, we report it. If it's minor injury, but blocking well traveled road, we report it. If it's in the city and blocking, whether injury or not, we report it. If it's in the city, not blocking and non-injury (property damage only), we ignore it.
Public suicides and public mental health issues are always tricky. They can necessitate a substantial law enforcement and fire response, which makes them a public issue. There are few clear-cut guidelines on these calls because each one can be so different.
The trivial can be entertaining
Discussion: Unlike a newspaper or a broadcast outlet, we have an unlimited news hole. We report items off the scanner sometimes just purely for their interesting or entertainment value. Once in a while, a post on our Facebook feed will result in a poster asking, "why is this news?" My standard response is, "we never ask, is this news?" The word "newsworthy" is not part of our vocabulary. We ask, is it interesting? If it's interesting and we have time to post it, we post it.
- Wanna buy a stroller? It's a real good deal…
- Pantless man making snow angels on South Main Street
- Boyfriend allegedly takes pregnant girlfriend's pack of smokes
- Two women in a verbal fight over clothes at laundromat
- Two women arguing over stray cats at School House Manor, Oakfield
As I said earlier, we've built a large local audience because of our reputation of being on top of the local news. We couldn't do it without a scanner.
We've made some mistakes and we've upset some people, but we've also been praised by people with connections to tragic incidents.
A landlord who was out of town learned that one of his apartments was on fire because of The Batavian and knew to hurry back to town.
A woman whose husband died in a car accident thanked us the following spring for our timely and complete reports because it saved her from answering a lot of questions.
One of the unexpected surprises about our approach to scanner reports is the praise it gets from first responders. Police officers check the home page of The Batavian at the start of every shift because it helps them know what's happened since their previous shift. Volunteer firefighters love it because it helps inform the community about their calls.
Our scanner reporting has also led to us breaking news that other news organizations missed. When a 26-year-old woman hit a Walmart cashier on Christmas Eve 2011, it was only because we were listening to the scanner that the event ever became news, and it became national news. When a father threw his son to the floor of Walmart, a state trooper called on The Batavian, and nobody else, to help get the news out quickly, knowing our real-time news reputation had built up our audience. The concern was that the boy was injured and needed medical attention, so time was of the essence (turned out, he wasn't hurt).
The scanner is just another news reporting tool, and like any tool, it can be misused and abused, but for Web journalism in the era of real-time news, it's an invaluable tool when used well.
I think we've gotten better at scanner reporting the longer we've done it. Rather than fight how technology changes journalism, reporters and editors need to learn how to harness it and use it to benefit the communities they serve.

Photos from our recent adventures in WNY
We've lived in Western New York about seven years now. Out time here hasn't been without travel, but neither have we had as much time to explore as we might like, especially since The Batavian became our full time job.
People were always surprised when I told them, I'd never been to the City of Buffalo, nor to Niagara Falls, nor to Letchworth State Park. Now, in the space of just a couple of weeks, I've been to all three.
First, was Buffalo. A few Sunday mornings ago, I was asked to appear on a Sunday morning talking show on WGRZ. After the show, I took a little time to drive downtown. I was in a big city, but it was a Sunday. The streets were nearly deserted. I found myself before long driving around the McKinley Monument and impressed by the Gotham-city heft of Buffalo's City Hall.
A week later Billie and I glided into our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed at a Downtown Buffalo hotel (in the slide show, two more pictures of Buffalo City Hall and of an old car on the street below taken from our balcony) and the next day, visited the Martin House (a Frank Lloyd Wright design) and Niagara Falls.
Rounding out our WNY bucket list was a drive through Letchworth last week. This came about because I was hired to photograph a dairy farmer in Great Valley, which is about two hours south of here with Letchworth more or less on the same route. Time was short on the return trip, but we did manage to see the great falls and stop at a couple of lookout over "the Grand Canyon of the East."

On meaningful work
I'm reading Phil Jackson's "Eleven Rings" on iBook and am very much enjoying it. Last night, I came across this passage and it rang true. I think I've always sought work that was meaningful. I think more than at any time in my life I've arrived at a spot where what I do springs from who I am and from my "unfolding journey."
"To make your work meaningful, you need to align it with your true nature. "Work is holy, sacred, and uplifting when it springs from who we are, when it bears a relationship to our unfolding journey," writes activist, teacher, and lay monk Wayne Teasdale in A Monk in the World. "For work to be sacred, it must be connected to our spiritual realization. Our work has to represent our passion, our desire to contribute to our culture, especially to the development of others. By passion I mean the talents we have to share with others, the talents that shape our destiny and allow us to be of real service to others in our community."

My evolution as a photographer and thoughts on the Chicago Sun-Times
This is Michael Penvose. In April he was arrested for allegedly stealing a thermometer. He claimed he needed the thermometer for his sick baby. A police officer bought the thermometer. When I heard about it, I thought it would make for a good story. The photo became the first photo of mine to win any kind of award. In this case, an NPPA monthly clip contest third place in general news.
The award — even just third in a monthly clip contest — is important to me because I take my photography seriously. My still photography.
I want to say up front, I make no claim to be a great photographer. I've worked with great photographers, especially at the Ventura County Star, and I wouldn't put myself in their class. But I think my experience with photography and the news business gives me a little perspective.
For those who don't know or don't remember, I was once the guy pushing the idea that every reporter should be carrying an inexpensive camera and shooting a little video.
My position pissed off a lot of NPPA members. The debate raged for a couple of years. Chuck Fadely and I debated the issue at an NPPA short course in Rochester in 2008.
As Stewart Pittman would frequently point out, I was all talk.
When I started The Batavian, it gave me a chance to put into practice a little more of what I had been preaching.
As time when on, I found readers responded more to the still photos I posted then videos. I started shooting more photos and producing fewer videos.
It should be noted, in all my pontificating I don't believe I ever called for dumping photojournalists from the payroll. I don't recall it ever crossing my mind that there wouldn't be a place for highly skilled and trained and well equipped professional photojournalists.
In the early days of my ownership of The Batavian, it dawned me — duh! — I don't have a photography staff. There's nobody here with a DSLR.
So, I sold a domain I owned and bought a Nikon D-90.
With a better camera, my still photos garnered even more kudos from readers. It was at this point, I pretty much totally abandoned video. For the same or less time than it took to shoot and produce a video, I could write a story and post a photo gallery and get more page views and more feedback from readers (either in comments or on the street).
The positive feedback from readers gave me a feeling that maybe I had a little talent I should try to improve on. I became — and still am — obsessed with photography.
As I upgraded my lenses, I was able to do more. As I upgraded my lenses and did more, I got more positive feedback from readers.
When I upgraded my camera to a D-7000, with it's better dynamic range, readers noticed. They didn't know I bought a new camera. They just knew the photography improved.
When I bought a used 70-200mm 2.8 lens, again, readers noticed the pictures got better. People would stop me on the street to compliment my photos.
When I upgraded that lens to something newer, readers noticed again.
This progression of events has underscored what many already know: readers care about quality still photos. They do notice a difference in quality and do enjoy stills.
No reader has ever asked me, "why don't you shoot video?" or "you used to do video — what happened to your video?" There seems to be no demand from my audience for video.
We're more than five years removed from the great video debates. Technology has improved. Computers are faster. Bandwidth has increased. And — users are not flocking to video, except purely as entertainment. I still hear from people at newspapers and views on the vast majority of newspaper-produced video remain too low to really justify the effort. If it hasn't happened by now, it's not going to happen.
Point-and-shoot, video, iPhone photography all has its place in the river of news, but so does the professionally produced stills and videos of those trained, skilled and properly equipped, and put in the right places, to shoot and edit.
Which brings us to the Chicago Sun-Times.
There's an old saying in business, "you can't cut your way to prosperity."
There's no indication that newspaper executives ever learned this fundamental rule of business.
The news business is all about content. Advertising is important (and it's content, too), but without compelling, interesting stories and pictures, there is no news business.
There was a time I was hailed in the news industry as some sort of champion of citizen journalism. I never saw myself that way. I never saw Cit-J as anything other than a supplement to what professionals do.
Only professionals consistently and continually sit through boring meetings, develop sources, hone their skills and their knowledge, stick with the same story month-after-month, year-after-year, have the experience and knowledge that goes with proper news gathering techniques, and can repeatedly craft a torrent of information into coherent stories. And I mean on a consistent, ongoing basis.
It's hard to fathom a news executive thinking he or she can can replace professional staff with Cit-J and/or poorly equipped writers with inexpensive cameras and still remain viable as a news business. But that seems to be what is happening.
Without audience, you will lose advertising, and readers and viewers want news that they find compelling and engaging. If they don't get it from you, they will go elsewhere, and if there's no satisfactory alternative, they'll just watch laughing babies and tumbling cats on YouTube. Purposefully diminishing the quality of the news product is no way to retain your audience.
My experience on the business side of the business and on the content side of the business tells me this was a really dumb business decision.
A Saturday road trip to Niagara and Orleans counties
Today a client sent me to a town in Niagara County near Lake Ontario. The irony was, the night before the assignment came in, Billie said to me, "I've been thinking, we haven't been up to Lake Ontario in a long time." For a while I've been thinking, I would like to drive up to Lake Ontario to try and find some photo subjects.
So, after the assignment was done, Billie and I took a drive as much as possible long the lake toward the west and then swung down to Medina in search of a meal before heading home.
Here's the photographic results of the day.

Photos: San Francisco
I suspect I could spend a lifetime in San Francisco and never exhaust the photographic possibilities. A million photographers couldn't. It's no wonder it's a city that inspires so much art. Here are a collection of photos from my two photo-making sessions during my visit to the Golden City.
On Saturday, Ed Summerfield gave me a bit of a tour of San Francisco, including lunch in the Haight and a walk through the district. I first met Ed in 1977 when he was in a band called Adjust-A-Boy. He was the coolest guy me and my friends knew. He became my guitar teacher and a friend. I hadn't seen Ed in more than 25 years before Saturday. I'm ever so grateful that he took time on a Saturday to hang out with me for a few hours. It was a very groovy day.

A collection of YouTube sales training videos for aspiring local online news publishers
Some time ago I thought it would be interesting to see if I could put together a sales training course for beginners, thinking primarily of journalists, using just YouTube videos. I'm posting what I've come up with so far to supplement my presentation today at ONA in San Francisco.
Here are the sales training videos:
The number one rule of sales is be sold yourself. If you don't believe in what you're offering is what your customers need, you will find it difficult to close the sale.
If you're a local publisher, this part should be easy for you. If you don't believe that your publication is what your community needs, should have and wants, and that it's the right place for local businesses to connect to local consumers, then you shouldn't even be publishing.
We'll talk about sales techniques, but related to a belief in your product, is the need for passion about what you're selling.
If you're a local publisher, you need to be passionate about your business. If you have passion, sales will be much easier. Passion will also help you stay in business when you feel like quitting. After the Harvey Cohen video below is a video with Steve Jobs. The Jobs video isn't about sales, but it emphasizes why passion is so important for the entrepreneur.
To help demystify the key aspects of selling, the video below (featuring Tom Hopkins, one of the biggest names in sales training) lays out seven fundamentals of selling. If you can grasp that sales is a process and not some magical charm that only a select few possess, you will do much better in sales. The fundamentals are prospecting, original contact, qualifying, presentation, handling objections, closing and then getting referrals.
One of the key tools for sales is the telephone. I'm a big believer that when you're launching your site, actually walking right into a small business and introducing yourself to the owner, but since the key to all sales is numbers (the more people you contact, the more you will sell), the phone speeds up the process of getting appointments with people you can actually sell. If you make a sale, get an appointment and have a product you believe in, you will almost certainly make the sale. (Below, pay especial attention to Brian Tracy's instruction on the fact you're making a sale to get an appointment, not selling your product).
One thing that worked really well for me when meeting with small business owners was to tell them a story. I told them the story of me and my wife and why we were doing The Batavian, which helped communicate that we were fellow small business owners, committed to the community and had a vision for promoting local business. The three videos below are about sales and storytelling. Every journalist knows how to tell stories, right?
I said before there is no magic in sales. Further, the skills in sales are not terribly hard to learn, but I suspect many journalists believe the techniques of sales are opaque and hard to grasp. Beyond belief and passion, some basic fundamentals and being able to tell a story, it's important to understand the words you use have impact (journalists get that, right?). Perhaps the hardest thing about sales is developing the habits of good word choice. I'm not necessarily good at it, but good enough. The more you practice and master word choice skills in sales, the better you do.
In sales, you're going to hear no a lot, or people will hesitate making a decision. You and I both know that what your selling is something your customer really needs and really needs to buy, so learning how to turn doubts into yes is a key sales skill. Like good word choice, this is a skill that takes some practice to develop.
Here's Harvey Cohen, a master of negotiating, on dealing with objections.
Once you've realized you have a great product to sell, you've found potential customers, you've made the appointment, pitched the product, over come objections, it's time to close. Of course, as they say in sales, ABC (always be closing) — at any point in the sales process you should recognize a chance to close and take it. Here is a video (there isn't much on YouTube on this topic, unfortunately) on closing. One of the keys to closing, especially from an ABC standpoint, is to recognize "buy" questions. For example, if a small business owner asked you, "can you link to my web site?" It's time to start closing.
Finally, great sales people are passionate, but they're also persistent. To be successful in sales, as in business, you can't give up in the face of difficulties.

I have been a player since age eight, now nearing fifty with many years playing off and on. My wife found it fitting to gift to me for our ten year anniversary. I can't say enough about the quality and production of an artist inspired Strat. I played an Ibanez copy Les Paul in my youth and kept it forever. The feel and sound of this instrument drew me out of a long, long quietness to explore and exercise my desire to rip, riff and roar a bit. The Texas special pickups are beefy and the feel of the oval neck and Pau Ferro board are superb (never was a fan of solid maples, maybe just me). The left bridge tremolo I am getting used to. I just LOVE this critter. I say at least check it out. I am impressed and love exploring what it and I can do.

Seniors and children together?
Public schools in the past were extensions of the two-parent, multi-child family. They evolved as the institutions that often defined the neighborhood center and functioned as that center.
This, somewhat modified, has remained the model of the public school systems for decades, long after families and communities no longer are part of that model, when most families are no longer two-parent households, now in two parent homes, when both parents are likely to be working and when the mother is not likely to be at home.
Luckily on this planet.
I live in a community were I have access to and can readily fulfill most of my needs and demands. I'm at a stage in life where I'm sufficiently free and can still depend on myself and my own resources to fulfill who I am.
I can even change what is immediately around me and have influence on the boarder social and physical environment, where I can do this in the interest of those still here and others to come.
Perhaps there are some knowledgeable young families that don't know about the excellent school system that we have here in Shorewood.
But for the present time, the entrance fee is housing affordability. The present system of financing our schools isn't working too well. And that's what needs to be changed. I don't know of any clever way of making housing in Shorewood affordable to young families who might assist in building up our school enrollment.
I'm grateful to the Shorewood Village Planner and to the Board members serving on the committee that is studying the possibilities for upgrading our duplex stock in Shorewood. I'm also grateful to David Tartarowicz for his various studies and commentary, all of this has stimulated my interest.
They have helped me in trying to come up with some solution. For I was not at all close until I started researching "mixed neighborhoods" as both class mix and age mix type of communities. These were, sometime ago, referred to as socially balanced communities.
I've always been thankful to Steve Koczela for his postings. How else could we keep abreast of the village news, especially as to what goes on in relation to what the Shorewood Village Board is doing and what it's up to.
The Board and its various committees seems to have an affinity for "closed-door meetings." Most often people who are not citizens of the community are permitted to attend these behind-the-scene meetings while citizens most continuously interested in our community and what the government is doing, like Steve Koczela are not allowed a peak in.
BLOGGING as a form of THINKING,
Most recently, I've found that many of my postings will draw the attention of about 50 readers over the first 24 hours. Many of my graduate student classes, of course didn't have half that many students.
The hits will usually double over a 3 to 4-day period and double again over a week to 10 days. I've been surprised to learn that over several weeks that I've had as many as 400 hits for a posting. Other bloggers, I'm sure have more impressive numbers.
Shorewood must focus on and talk about the essential elements that really respond to the organic impulses of community.
One of today's main elements of community is the school system where the children come together from all aspects of the community. Children from the various families meet and interact. Interaction is one of the basic elements of community and the schools provide that focus in the U.S.
Village and School Boards were established to bring about minimal and easy type of local governing bodies. Today's requirements have led these boards to depend on administrative personnel to carry out day to day processes.
The problem that has developed is that as local governments become more complex, the part-time elected members of boards tend to lean more on their administrative staff for all sorts of programming, scheduling, planning and new sorts of ideas.
Human beings are pretty much motivated by their desire to attain power. Power comes perhaps in as many forms as those wanting to attain it.
Today the general source of power is money. And in a general sense, most people desire money and are inclined to acquire money in millions of ways. The power of wealth is a desire found in many, if not in most people.
The discussion in my previous two postings leads to some implications for communities like Shorewood operated under a system of "village trustees" referred to as the "Village Board."
Generally members of non-government board of trustees are appointed. However, in the case of communities the members are elected by citizens of that community.
Local government, so close yet so far.
Democratic government as devised by our forefathers aimed at the inclusion of all citizens and was based on equal representation and equal treatment.
To a great degree its structure imitated that from which it separated itself. If Washington had not been our first president, for example, perhaps precedent would have been set for electing the president as king for life.
I don't know who reads my postings, except for the indication that I get from fellow bloggers. Therefore, in a sense, these are merely notes to myself that eventually may get read by others.
I used to let my views be known to the Village Board at almost every meeting. When I first started to do that, there was a ruling that the members could not respond. So I felt like a voice in the wilderness.
Let's check for lead.
When people come into our community to serve as consultants, as developers and as service agencies, we must see to it that they work in our interest, in the community's interest not merely in their own interests.
We've produced goal-oriented plans in order to avoid opportunistic development in Shorewood. Yet we seem to be following the polices of opportunism.
It seems that we're cherry-picking projects rather than working toward unified spacial designs, overall, completed and integrated cells that function together as total units or elements, at least in terms of the immediate surroundings.
I was pleased at the Village Board's meeting last night that so many citizens attended and made their views known on the various projects. We should have more of this.
We already have strong support for parks, environment and even affordable housing. How about more land acquistion for public space purposes?
All Shorewood officials and staff involved in the 4500 North Oakland Avenue project should be congratuated on their good work and the agreement that they developed with the developer. The final concept of the building is a tremendous improvement over the first rendering that I was shown. I hope the project is a successful one.
Junk architecture on the river.
It soon became obvious that most of those attending the Shorewood Village meeting last night were representative groups opposed to a proposal for a home for the elderly at the present Riverbrook Restaurant site on Capitol.
Some indicated that this is not the proper use for this site. Others thought that the building concept, a hotel /hospital-like setting was not an appropriate structure on the rivers' edge at the gateway to Shorewood.
The elderly care proposal on Capitol Drive and the river is not for Shorewood. Someone on the Village Board or on the staff or any citizen who is for this, please come front and publicly explain your reasoning.
How many young families with children will it bring into the community? Is it "just two feet from everything" as our promotional literature indicates? "On the edge of . . . (the river) . . . at heart of everything?"
Shorewood trustees, thanks
I'm finding less and less news and information in print about Shorewood. Yet we're a pretty active community doing quite a lot, especially at the political level.
We have seven trustees all with a daytime jobs and involved on various committees. This keeps them pretty busy and especially if they have children as well. Not all trustees have the same view and not all citizens agree with them either. The citizens however get to criticize what trustees do. The board members must be diplomatic with each other. That's the way it is. I guess I've been known to be a "little critical at times."
Its been some years since I began studying local government as an area of interest, even before I became a city planner.
I got involved with small town planning as a professional planner in London (England) were we were attempting to control growth dispersal.
From a POINT-of-VIEW to a CENTRAL POINT.
For the past 4 years or more, I've focused my planning and local community attention on Shorewood. I've begun writing on Shorewood from a very practical perspective and some of this has from time to time slipped into my day to day writings.
Obviously my book deals with much more than Shorewood, but Shorewood has evolved into a real model for various practical reasons, as did London when doing my PhD. thesis.
In our private affairs most of us want to be private and "not air out our dirty linen in public."
Government on the other is a public process and needs ultimate airing and transparency. Public linen whether clean or dirty usually takes on a soiled appearance if it's not in the sunlight. Sunlight is in the interest of community.
OLD MAN RIVER. Old folks at home. On the river.
I'm pleased to have some creditable people against this one project, so that I'm not "the lonely one."
Its been a few months, August 7th to be exact after Steve Koszela alerted us to the for sale sign for 5 acres on the river, when I strongly urged the village to acquire these 5-acres, crazy idea.
As I think of the type of community we can become if guided appropriately, apart from the conventional and steady unguided evolutionary and market redevelopment processes, I'm saddened as to the missed opportunities.
We're told that the "extended elderly care" project on the river is part of the master plan. I didn't see anything in the master plan that said elderly care. This is an interpretation of an interpretation. Of course, the zoning element of the plan indicated commercial, that's what elderly care is, commercial or is it residential.
At the national level, "in the public interest means" in the interest of commerce. A community like Shorewood, at the local level is interested in maintaining the sales value of their homes first of all and controlling the tax burden that that ownership brings.
As public schools have been linked to both the market desirability of homeownership and to the tax burden of that ownership, school costs play a role in the public interest that Shorewood has in maintaining a low tax rate.

Camaro & Firebird Book, Performance Projects, 1970-1981 Part # 88-0672
176 Total Pages 485 Color Photos Softbound Binding 8.5" X 11" Covers Performance Projects That Are Most Popular While the first-generation Chevy Camaros and Pontiac Firebirds are iconic cars that command high sale prices in restored and unmodified form, the second-generation Camaros and Firebirds are much more affordable. These Camaros often sell for only a few thousand dollars, and as a relative bargain compared to the early cars, many owners use these cars as a blank canvas to build an all-out performance car. Not only are the second-generation cars great platforms for modification, owners don't have to feel guilty about heavily modifying an extremely rare or valuable collector car that the first-generation cars represent. Several million Camaros and Firebirds were built from 1970-1981. Many of these were sparsely equipped cars with six-cylinder or small V-8 engines and are perfect candidates for a full pro-touring treatment. There is a huge and growing amount of aftermarket support for these cars, with engine, drivetrain, brake, steering, and suspension parts being offered. Many owners are installing multi-link or Air Ride suspension, four-wheel disc brakes, quicker steering gears, stroker or late-model engines, modern overdrive transmissions, and other cutting-edge performance parts. Like all editions in the Performance Projects series, this book covers the wide range of modifications, from borderline basic to in-depth and complex. Included modifications are supercharger installs, head swaps, ignition and carburetor mods, brake upgrades, transmission, differential and driveline upgrades, engine bolt-ons, multi-link rear suspensions, and more. This book is an essential tool for the second-gen enthusiast looking to modify their car. Learn More

How To Build Big-Inch GM LS-Series Book Part # 88-1100-3
Softbound 8.5 X 11" 144 Pages 305 Color Photos How To Build Big-Inch GM LS-Series by Stephen Kim The GM LS-Series engines have made history. These engines produce copious amounts of horsepower and do it very efficiently, and therefore the LS engines have been installed in many GM cars as well as transplanted into hot rods and multitudes of muscle cars. These wildly popular engines have been modified in many ways, and one of the most popular and affordable modifications is stroking an LS engine. By adding more cubic inches, these engines are producing exceptional horsepower and torque. Author Stephen Kim covers the various models of LS engines, so if you're buying an engine you are able to select the best stroker platform. He also guides you through each crucial step of building a stroker or big-inch LS engine. He starts by discussing the stroker options, the maximum stroke and bore for aluminum as well as iron block engines, and the best cranks, rods, and pistons from various aftermarket suppliers. The budding LS engine builder is then able to select parts or the stroker kit that best fits the particular motor and the budget. Kim delves into the benefits and drawbacks to stroking the range of LS aluminum and iron block motors. But, he also examines the aftermarket blocks from World, Dart, and GM Performance Parts for stroking. LS engines are the hottest engine family on the market right now, and for good reason. While there are other LS engine books on the market, this is the only one that specifically addresses increasing displacement as a means of gaining real world usable horsepower. Learn More
Automotive Diagnostic Systems Book Part # 88-1104-3
Softbound 8.5 X 11" 144 Pages 172 Color Photos Automotive Diagnostic Systems by Keith McCord The electronic control unit and other electronic controls are connected to every major system of a car built within the past 15 years, yet when there is a problem or an error code, many enthusiasts do not know how to go about fixing the problem. With this book, an affordable hand held scanner, and other common tools, the average enthusiast can diagnose and fix most common problems, rather than bringing the vehicle to a dealership for repair at shop rates of $100 per hour or more. Keith McCord recounts the history of automotive onboard diagnostic systems and creation of the rudimentary OBD I systems and the development as well as the evolution of OBD II. Currently, OBD-II (OnBoard Diagnostic II) is the standard of the industry, and this book provides a thorough explanation of this system. It details its main features, capabilities, and characteristics. It shows how to access the port connector on the car, the serial data protocols, and what the serial data means. To understand the diagnostic codes, the numbering system is defined and the table of common DTCs is shown. But most importantly, McCord provides a thorough process for trouble shooting problems, tracing a problem to its root, explaining why DTCs may not lead to the source of the underlying problem, and ultimately resolving the problem. Almost anyone can hook a scanning tool up to the serial port and read the error, but the key to fixing the problems is using an effective trouble shooting process that resolves all the issues that may be contributing or creating the problem. McCord provides sound procedures, insight, and information for resolving most ECU and computer control problems at home with affordable consumer-grade scanners. Learn More

Spring 2012: D&G
FirstView View Gallery
Go big or go home was the definitive message decorating the final D&G catwalk—today, the designers announced the discontinuation of the collection. To the blaring beats of Prince and James Brown, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana sent out part wild child deb, part gypsy look-a-likes in an array of print-on-print ensembles, riffing on 101 ways to wear a silk kerchief. Here, a demure pocket square or dainty head scarf was rendered in loud and proud rompers, barely-there briefs, denim 'n' silk button-downs, and contrasting tube dresses. An unmistakable 60s flavor prevailed in riotous shifts and flirty, tie-front babydolls. Flowing gypsywear dresses garnered the most attention from front-rowers, running the gamut from the off-the-shoulder peasant types to the empire-waist mashups--four prints deep, of course. A fine farewell of the most ebullient, and decidedly D&G, proportions.
