Michael Zeidler is not your average 64-year-old. He starts everyday at 5 a.m. with a 6 mile run and finishes by a quarter of (that’s a 7.5 minute per mile pace). This fact alone puts Michael far above the norm for a sexagenarian. Might as well mention that he’s won Gold at the Badger State Games 8 times and took 5th in a National competition in Illinois recently.
Neighbor Spotlight
The monthly neighbor spotlight.
Dr. Chow
“I’m totally entertained by the whole thing,” says Frank between chuckles. He’s talking about the Center Street Daze Annual Cart Race, which he’s emceed for the last five years. “I enjoy the ‘Born Losers’ who always lose.”
Kari Behling
It’s not necessary to ask Kari Behling what is precious to her. Within a few minutes in her presence it’s impossible not to feel the love and acceptance in the air. Her family, foster kids, foster families and community take up the majority of space in her heart. Even while suffering from a nasty cold she took the time to be interviewed for this “Spotlight” because of the potential for spreading the word.
Mathibela Sebothoma
The Neighbor Spotlight focuses this month on a man who is a recent arrival to Riverwest. Mathibela Sebothoma moved into the rectory at St. Mary Czestochowa last December when he began his studies at Marquette University. He came here from South Africa where he lived through a remarkable time of history.
Carmela Ziino
I gave Carmela Ziino a small bag of green beans on the day I went to interview her. “Thank you,” she said. “I think I make a pasta fajol.” Then she told me how she fixes the hearty peasant dish that has sustained Italian families for centuries.
