Residents and Police – An Unnecessary Divide

by Rick Deines,

“Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible”  – St. Francis of Assisi 

The revelation of the mistreatment of Derek Williams while in police custody has surfaced the need for opening ongoing community-wide conversations. My hope is that we can find a way to begin a different kind of conversation that will spread across neighborhoods and include rank and file officers, the beat cops, and the Union, but in particular the average citizens who are often unheard in the discussion.

Thirty Years of Rauen

Story by Ellen C. Warren ~ Photo by Ann Lamb

Depending upon your level of curiosity and the length of time you’ve lived in Riverwest, you have probably wondered what, exactly, goes on inside that storefront labeled “Rauen Guitars?” There never seems to be any activity around it. The parking lot is generally empty. You’ve walked or driven past many times and it never appears to be open.
