7 questions to ponder so Dino can catch a break
[A Note: These questions come to us from someone else this week. Thanks friend.]
1. Do you watch TV? Have a favorite show? I tend to glom on to one show every few years and then it will be canceled. I loved “Alias,” now I love “House.” (I may actually be in love with “House.”) Other than that, I tend to be a renter of DVDs.
2. Do you think the scandals in local government are becoming more frequent? Is this a trend?
3. Do you think Reality TV is just a phase, like variety shows were so fab in the …
Your Voice: The Roys
[In this episode of Your Voice, we highlight the serialized tale from Alex. About the Roy’s. Apparently there have been many Roy’s, and they have all been significant for Alex. I like the serialization of the tale. It feels like we are learning something, at the same time as the author. Interesting use of a blog.]
Your Voice: Another Year Older
[A Note from Dino: This week, we look to Mike Murphy from the Citizen Wausau community. Mike is clearly a blues legend in Wisconsin, having slugged it out for many years with little or no acclaim. He has been playing the blues longer than I have been alive, and has been doing a good job of it around the state. We are thankful that he joined the Citizen Wausau community, and hope that he blogs about his shows, and maybe adds some cool photos as well. Thank you all for submitting.]
Your Voice: Saturday Night Live or Morning or Afternoon
[A note from Dino: As spring springs on us, our thoughts take us away from the computer, and outdoors. To new hobbies, and to bikes, and camping. Well, WNRB is a community radio station, and while it might not be a Santa Cruz full suspension dream bike, it might be a hobby you’re interested in. I have a feeling that it might be a little bit like Citizen Wausau, where it is what you bring to it a little bit. So, thank you to Tom Neal for this post.]
Saturdays are wide-open … …
Your Voice: Earth Month Pledge
[A Note from Dino: I know typically we pull a post from the Community on Monday for Your Voice. We felt that this was such a welcome addition that we would put it up here in a timely manner. I have personally pledged to take public transit to and from work each day, all month. What will you do? What commitment can you make?]
Hi,
The Commission for a Greener Tomorrow was established in the summer of 2007 by the City of Wausau to encourage greater awareness of sustainability issues in the Greater Wausau area. Volunteers staff various teams dealing with issues …
Your Voice: The Wausau Film Festival
[A note from Dino: If the purpose of CW is to celebrate Wausau, and I am not saying that is the point, but if it is, the Wausau Film Festival is an amazing thing deserving of our attention. A film festival is a monolithic undertaking, and James Rubino is out there on his own taking this on. We felt it was important enough to bring to the front of the line, in the hopes that you will add your expertise to what he is working on. Film, movies, cinema, culture, it all matters. It adds to the quality of life, …
Your Voice: Part 2: I Dont Like to Say It, But All Trails Go to Bars.
[A Note from Dino: We find this post in the blog started by Erik. It is a fascinating look at Central Wisconsin from the point of view of a successful photo journalist (though that might not be the right job title). His blog is open, and amazingly self-critical of his work and the subjects he looks at. I really enjoy getting a behind the scenes look at what this fascinating job is all about. Thanks Erik. Thanks to you all.]

Your Voice: Run Away! Run Away!
[This post comes to us from one of our newest bloggers, Alex. While he is new, he is surely becoming one of our most prolific. This post highlights young love, and we think it is a good tale. We hope you enjoy it.]
March 6th, 2008
I was talking with a virtual friend today. Virtual in that I know virtually nothing about this person, yet for some odd reason have absolutely no problem telling them anything. Anyway, after the conversation was over, I felt compelled to write something about my first. No, not that first, but close. It’s …
Computer Recycling
(A Note from Dino: Today we received word that Good News is once again recycling our old machines. While I cannot imagine letting a computer ever go, I guess not everyone wants to keep their first computer around their house as a keepsake of a more innocent time. A time when you could play Spyhunter, or any number of other HI RES games. So, if you need to get rid of a machine, this is what we know…)
Businesses and families with computers or related equipment to dispose of can have them recycled professionally at a roundup event in Wausau Friday, …
Your Voice: Riding, pain and wanton distruction
(Note from Dino: This week we find a selection from Billie. Billie has a blog in our community titled, “A Stable Personality: A Life with Horses“. It is a fascinating group of stories so far, and we encourage Billie to keep writing. Her voice is valid, and should find its audience in a place like Citizen Wausau perfectly. I have known her for a while now, and honestly as a non-country fellow, the whole world of horses seems absolutely alien to me. We hope Billie keeps writing, as we hope you keep writing.)
