6 Questions Inspired by The Fly Girls on In Living Color
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 …
Announcement: Citizen Wausau Board Introductory Meeting
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 …
14 Questions to Try to Elevate My Depressed Seratonin Levels
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.
- If they made a movie of your life, who would you like to play you? You cannot play yourself, for …
Wausau Community Ramping Up Support for Local Teenage Artists and Skateboarders
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 …
It is a Thankless World
Your Voice: M-Cosm Update
[A note from Dino: Since this is the summer of Johnny Depp and films in Wisconsin, we wanted to highlight that a member of the CW community is shooting a film here in town. While it appears that the Wausau Film Festival might have died on the vine, it also appears that we have an active and passionate underbelly of scene shooters, and color saturators here in town. This post comes to us from Erik. Good on you Erik!]
I apologize for no commentary this weekend. We finished photography for Daily Routine, a quick three minute short from Stop That …
City Council Meeting, April 22nd
As most of us may have anticipated, the Mayoral veto on restructuring committee appointment procedures set the stage for a contentious City Council meeting here in Wausau last night. As a regular attender of said meetings, this was a night of firsts. This was the first time that I have ever seen the room full (perhaps people were expecting a dog fight of sorts). It was also the first time I have ever seen anyone register for comments in advance. And, it was the first time I have ever seen a Point of Order come from the crowd.
Along with these …
Citizen Wausau Seeks Help From You
[A Note from Dino: This post was made in haste, and Andy and I have talked about this more, and as a result we adding some changes. In an effort to be transparent, those changes will be easy to see.]
Dear Citizen Wausau Community,
Spring is here. We just passed our six month hump, and we are getting more traffic than we thought possible. Now, we need to make some changes. Not large changes, but small ones. Small but significant, and from that, we will look to you.
We seek to create, and implement a version of an editorial …
City of Wausau Committee Appointments
In case you were wondering who on the City Council is tasked with what? Well, this document should be able to answer these questions. In the past, these appointments have led to some clashes on the Council, and these might as well.
Your City government is yours though. That is something that should not be forgotten. These people are voted for by you, and for you. They are acting in a role of service, as such we should thank them. But also we need to be a part of this process.
Kristen Fish Resigns
I am honestly shocked by this turn of events. Kristen Fish has resigned after 7 years with the City of Wausau. We have tried to contact her, but was unable to reach her for comment. No one gets pleasure out of seeing someone leave their job and career after so much success.
