Can you say it? Can you proudly say that you too have “run with scissors”? Well, now you can! That’s if you sign up of course for the first annual “I Ran With Scissors” 5K fun run sponsored by the Midwest Unconventional Sports Association. Registration is $25 and includes your t-shirt and of course, kindergarten grade scissors for the run. All proceeds benefit the Children’s Service Society of Wisconsin.

Staying on Message: The Need of the Catholic Church and the Labor Movement to Stay Focused on Saving Vision
by Fr. Sinclair Oubre, J.C.L.
Rare is an organization that calls its members, and the greater society to raise its head from individual self-centeredness, and see all people as brothers and sisters. Such calls do not move people only to dream about what could be done to create a more loving and life-giving world, but also to recognize a responsibility that each man and woman has for the well being of each and every person.

Upside Groove Coalition: A Premium Blend of Musical Style
by Thomas Durkin / photos by Jason Williams
Crashing the national music scene not only takes talent, but often a whole lot of luck (exceptions: you look like either Britney Spears or Justin Timberlake or you perform like John Mayer, a watered down facsimile of a watered down Dave Matthews). For most bands, developing a local following is difficult enough. Translating that local support into national exposure can be nearly impossible, but the Milwaukee-based Upside Groove Coalition appears poised to try to make that transition.
