Power Down Week, July 7-14

by Zahner of Transition Milwaukee

“Reduce your carbon footprint and do it together!”

Transition Milwaukee will host the fourth annual Power Down Week, a series of events held throughout the city designed to build community while using less energy. From July 7 through July 14, individuals and organizations will participate in teaching do-it-yourself skills and workshops that incorporate less reliance on fossil fuels. Last year neighborhoods hosted a “kalegate” party, clothing swap, general fix-it gathering, honey-tasting, contra dance, homemade personal care products workshop, and many other group gatherings.

Beerline AS ARTery

Artery – a path for the life blood of the body. A main connector. ARTery – a ‘creational trail in 
Milwaukee’s Harambee neighborhood as envisioned by the group beINtween led by Keith Hayes and

If you want to see their vision in detail please visit beintween.ning.org and I recommend searching around for videos they have posted.
Hayes has given the following information about the trail :

Neighbor Spotlight – Remembering Chuck Phillips

“…the fire of wild flowers.”

In Memory of Charles Leonard Phillips

by Ellen C. Warren

Farewell Chuck! Good friend to many. My friend. Marvelous poet. Owner of the unforgettable and inimitable resounding voice. Mentor and advisor to the young. Lifelong seeker and, sometimes, finder. Wise man with a heart of gold and a vision that roiled from the deepest darkness and leapt to the most beneficent light.
