So I guess, some of the hardest rejection is that from a volunteer agency. I know in most cases, these are folks doing good and are just looking to fill slots, but it still bothers me. It still makes me angry for wanting to help out.
Summer is here, and that means so many things. Car windows open, sleeping under a sheet and not a blanket, so many things.
- If you had to pick, what is the one song, the only song, that is the summer theme song for you? What song makes you think of summer, and …

Living consciously in your own body, the one you are stuck with, takes some energy. So many of us live in our heads. We read and we write, we watch TV and talk to friends, we eat. All done with our heads for the most part. But what we do above the necks has a direct effect on our bodies, either from what we’re thinking and talking about, from what we’re watching and reading, and certainly from what we’re putting in our mouths.
I encourage all of you to start living in your body again. Feel it move, the muscles ripple, …

The other day when I was pushing my children around the neighborhood in a stroller, I stopped and stooped next to my two-year-old son in the front seat.
“Look, Ben! Dandelions!”
I carefully gathered a toddler-sized fistful of the yellow bits of sunshine and presented them to Ben for him to explore and admire. A quiet “wow” look spread across his face, and then he stuck one in his mouth, quickly pulling it out, disgusted by the taste.
I was lost in the sentimentality of dandelions. I remembered my first fistful of dandelions lovingly plucked by Mikey Rogers when I was five as …

The City of Wausau will be accepting appliances for disposal the weekend of May 16-18, but they will not be accepting computers.
In order to accommodate people who wish to dispose of computer equipment, the Good News Project will accept computers and televisions for recycling on Friday from 10 to 4, on Saturday from 10 to 2 and again on Sunday from noon to 4. The cost for recycling is 25 cents per pound.
“We provide a low cost service to the community, help keep the environment clean and help fund local nonprofits,” says Tom Fladland, operations director for Good News Project.

This Friday night, Wausau’s downtown gallery night returns with a passel of businesses decked out as host galleries, exhibiting (and selling) original art, and generally treating Citizen Wausonians and neighbors to a good time. If you’ve never attended one of these gallery nights (this is the fourth year for this twice-a-year event), it’s a chance to stroll downtown, from gallery to gallery where you will be offered free delectables and drinkables.
Typically, there are free horse-drawn carriage rides, free collector wine glasses, sidewalk musicians, and just a dynamic social scene. It’s gratifying to see all those heads bobbing down the sidewalk; …

Pack One has been doing a phenomenal job keeping Packers fans abreast of all the off-season happenings with the green and gold. If you’re a fan at all, do yourself a favor and check out his Packer News blog. That being said, my intent here is to beat the dead horse that is, the retirement of Brett Favre.
For the longest time, Dino and I have been talking about the retirement of Brett Favre and how I feel about it. I was disappointed when I heard the news and I can never underestimate the impact that Brett Favre has had on …

Greetings Citizens of Wausau!
I think we’re far too stagnant of a community. For such a city full of so many warm and vibrant personalities, it’s a shame that we wait until summer concerts to get outside and feel vital and connected to each other. It’s also a shame that so many of us are overweight and out of shape and seem unwilling to make basic changes in our lives to rid ourselves of the old, harmful patterns.

We wanted to get this to you as soon as we had confirmed a room for us all. We need to thank Lisa Stahl, and the First American Center for offering us the use of a room for the evening. The contribution that Lisa and that building make to the community is far-reaching and can never be overlooked. Truly it feels like a home for everyone, and all are welcome. So thank you Lisa!
We would like to sit down with you from 6 to 7pm. We will get an agenda to the folks who have …

I sort of feel like I am growing past something some days, but the reality is I am very ready to return to an idea that I used to have, and now can embrace in a new way. I think I have been wrong about something, and I was right about it before. I must have just thought that because I was young, I was wrong. The thing is, I was right. I just doubted myself.

200 Local Artists Bring Street Culture Alive With SK8ART Exhibit and Skateboarding Event in Downtown Wausau
After sending out a call to action in February to the area high schools, Boys and Girls Club and alternative school artists, 200 teenagers signed up to participate in SK8ART. The buzz hit a new high as each student received a free skateboard deck as a blank canvas to create their art for the SK8ART opening exhibit on May 16th in Gallery 402, located at 402 Third Street in the mezzanine at Van Dalfsen’s, downtown Wausau. Over the past months, SK8ART has allowed local …
