Paul's Falls
I have lived in the Falls since 1968. My great-great grandfather was one of the village founders. I have served the community in multiple ways: Firefighter, various boards and commissions and for many years was president of the Falls Cable Access Corp. Currently I own, and am active in, a restaurant equipment manufacturing company.
What is the origin of that word?
Seeing a picture of Joann Kreimendahl in Menomonee Falls Now recently reminded me of a moment more than twenty years ago. I was chatting with Joann before a meeting at Village Hall, and found out that we were both followers of a column named Words, Wit and Wisdom.
The column was a regular feature in the Green Sheet, and has long since disappeared. It presented the meaning and origin of various words in common and not-so-common usage.
Heads Up - Runners and Walkers
Calling all runners, hikers, families, anyone who loves getting outside to enjoy nature.
The Kettle Moraine State Forest - Northern Unit recently completed construction of a lake-to-lake nature trail. This new hiking and biking trail runs between Mauthe Lake and Long Lake in Fond du Lac county.
Ignorance Is Not Bliss
It was a dark and stormy night. (Sorry about that.) The wind was swirling and the lightning flashed.
I was on the phone talking with my son in Albuquerque when it happened.
The power flickered a bit, dimmed, came up bright and then there was total darkness. My wireless phone connection was instantly lost, and I began searching for a flashlight.
