Baptism

I just came back from a weekend of life’s milestones. My great friend Bill Manley just got married to his long time girlfriend Nina. I am so happy for them and was truly honored to be along to witness their union. They are great for each other, and I truly wish them all the best. I was also lucky to be there for the baptism of his niece, which was another great ceremony. Thank you Manley family for your hospitality and openness.

To this day, my heart tightens when I think of what Kristen Nelson is going through. And I can’t stop feeling angry for all the lives that are lost over there. I can’t quite see the reason for all the blood v-being spilled. I understand the duty of soldiers to put their lives on the line. I just don’t understand the carelessness of some politicians to be sending them and keep them in foreign lands for questionable motives.

Nelson, 23, was killed by a roadside bomb. Hundreds of students joined family and friends to honor his memory.

Sentencing

In a year that has been full with news, the tragic death of Deputy Frank Fabiano during a “routine” traffic stop has been one of the stories that has probably shaken the community the most. The death of a Peace Officer always brings a sense of insecurity and lawlessness. If someone can attack those who we appoint and give extensive power to protect us, who can any one o us be safe?

Kiss and Wave

Rusty Joe Medrow, of South Milwaukee, brushes the top of the wave he is riding with his cheek just south of Carthage College in Kenosha. He and a friend took advantage of the “perfect” conditions for the sport: wind and lake level combined to create long smooth waves.
