《桥》的“开创性”
没有铁锹就不是真正的破土动工，所以公共工程部的Cecelia Gilbert带来了五把使用良好的铁锹，尽管是礼仪性的，5月27日周四庆祝霍尔顿有袋动物桥开始建设。热心的政要们察觉到这是在拍照，便抓起铁锹，做着把铁锹挖进霍尔顿高架桥下面的沥青路面的手势。仪式安排为市长汤姆·巴雷特(Tom Barrett)举行，他在参加女儿的钢琴独奏会之前也出席了仪式。其他客人包括Ald。Michael S. D 'Amato, Ald。迈克尔·i·麦基，小，主管格里·布罗德里克和詹姆斯·怀特，以及前州参议员布莱恩·伯克。朱莉·科勒(Julilly Kohler)担任此次活动的司仪，她的发言很谨慎，但她还是设法说出了所有帮助她实现梦想的人的名字。其中包括“来自第五区的前国会议员”，布莱恩·伯克这样称呼他的小学老朋友汤姆·巴雷特，他作为市长第一次在公共工程项目上交出了仪式用的铲子。建筑师James Dallman和他的妻子Grace La以及Mathew P. Tharaniyil和Yakov N. Nenaydykh也在现场，他们分别是总统和Bloom咨询公司的副总裁，他们是横跨霍尔顿高架桥的项目工程师，架起了“有袋动物”桥——一条自行车和人行道，将在布雷迪街社区和湖前啤酒店及其周围的啤酒线“B”社区之间提供水平通道。威斯康星州交通部长Frank Busalacchi或隆达建筑公司(Lunda Construction)的任何代表都缺席了这次活动。隆达建筑公司是黑河瀑布市的一家建筑公司，赢得了建造这座桥的竞标。 Lunda appears to be a publicity-averse organization. The firm has expressed a reservation about having webcams at the construction site, saying they might reveal some “trade secrets” of the mysterious, arcane art of bridge building. Good heavens! It’s a bridge, not a plutonium refinery. Also missing from the event was Whitney Gould, although you wouldn’t have known it from the article she managed to write about it for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel the next morning. She reported, correctly, that the Mayor was there, in an otherwise generic story composed of previously reported items. Sonya Jongsma-Knauss and Vince Bushell of the Riverwest Currents were there. The sole representative of the electronic media was Channel 58. Afterwards, the crowd of 100 or so headed up to the Lakefront Brewery Palm Garden where owner Russ Klisch turned on the taps. Earlier that day, a stressed Russ was trying to get his new bottling machine to behave. Even so, it still chewed up a few bottles as it went through its shakedown cruise. Sales manager Paul Moebius said things are going well at the brewery – maybe too well. “We’re running out of beer!” he said. Last year’s sales were 5,000 barrels, and this year the brewery could hit 7,000 barrels. This is better than 2 […]

克拉克得到了两个州的支持
威斯康辛州的两位老政治家最近加入了韦斯利·克拉克竞选总统的行列。前市议员、国务卿和律师维尔·菲利普斯最近为代理市长马文·普拉特宣誓就职。她说，她支持这位阿肯色州将军竞选总统。在她的支持下，她加入了查尔斯·兰格尔和安德鲁·杨等黑人领袖的行列。1月27日星期二，菲利普斯参加了在朱莉·w·科勒家中为克拉克举办的募捐活动。菲利普斯说，她刚刚和亨利·亚伦通过电话，他提出给她寄机票，并安排她2月6日在亚特兰大参加他的生日派对。“哦，我不确定我是否会去，”维尔说，这让参加派对的人感到沮丧，他们无法想象拒绝亨利·亚伦的任何邀请，无论是否有免费的航空旅行和住宿。她到星期天还没有决定。威尔·菲利普斯面临许多决定。离开市政会议后，她买了那张市议员们曾经用过的旧卷顶桌子，直到现在的宝石安装完毕。这张桌子可能会捐给威斯康星历史学会。 Why not the city-owned Milwaukee Public Library? “Well, the historical society already has a full-size statue of me,” Phillips said. Good enough reason. The attendees, including Frank Gimbel (who has a huge Clark sign posted in his east side yard), Mort and Dani Gendelman, Curry First, Dennis Conta and about 40 others filled the Kohler residence to talk up their man and to dine on way too much food provided from such disparate sources as Sam’s Club and Watermark restaurant. A special guest of honor was to have been former Senator Gaylord Nelson, ranked fourth on a list of the most important Wisconsinites in history. He’s the only one of the top five who is still alive. Alas! Nelson hadn’t even made it as far as the end of the driveway of his Kensington, Maryland home in days, so he called in his visit by speakerphone. Heavy snowfall complicated by quaint Maryland snow removal traditions kept him home, Nelson said. He endorses Clark for president, the Earth Day founder told the attendees in Milwaukee. Nelson speaks very slowly these days. The delivery, although halting, does nothing to mute the intellectual vigor and wit of Nelson. Regarding his choice of the military man for president, the anti-Vietnam War ex-Senator said, “People were wondering how could Gaylord Nelson support a general for president?” (Pause.) “Well, George Washington was a general.” (Pause.) “And he was a pretty good president.” (Laughter.) Apparently, Nelson held republican president Dwight D. Eisenhower in high regard. He noted that General Ike warned us about the military-industrial complex. “This is a fascinating race,” Nelson said, (Pause.) But there is a long way to go.” The State of Wisconsin constitution, as amended, does not give the Lieutenant Governor much to do. This suited Scott McCallum fine, but Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton is a restless sort and has been an early supporter and campaign groupie of […]
