Dire Needs Part 2
In one of my previous blog entries, I mentioned that at the September 24 New Berlin School Board Meeting, Dr. Kreutzer’s administration presented a bunch of facility projects, which it described as “dire” facility needs, “important” and “immediate” ---but which had not been budgeted for. That blog piece focused on one of those needs--Orchard Lane Elementary School asphalt problems, a safety issue.
The list of dire needs identified at that September board meeting included: Orchard Lane asphalt, Eisenhower roof, Eisenhower IMC carpet, New Berlin office areas, Reagan Elementary locks, water heater at Glen Park Elementary and Glen Park security.

Why Newspapers Lose Readers
People don’t need to buy a paper to get information. Nowadays, many individuals rely on their computer, TV, radio, friends and neighbors for information about what is happening in their communities.
"Public Enemies"/Sen. Lazich
No, this is not about the Johnny Depp “Public Enemies” movie that's been filmed in Wisconsin recently.

Critics' Arguments Against Deer Creek Inn/Water Park Don't Hold Water
Conservative Journal Sentinel editorial columnist/blogger Patrick Mcllheran has spoken up on behalf of the Deer Creek Inn project and against its critics. In his article "Water parks and fairy tales" published in early June, Mcllheran refutes the arguments of a Milwaukee alderman and other opponents of the hotel/indoor water park planned for New Berlin.
Summerfest Rocks!
Anyone who thinks Summerfest is just for kids is mistaken. It attracts people of all different ages. I saw many folks in my age bracket (mid-fifties) or older at Summerfest yesterday.
