When journalist Jessica McBride penned a glowing, 5,400-word profile of Police Chief Edward A. Flynn for Milwaukee Magazine earlier this year, many in the Milwaukee Police Department jokingly dismissed it as a love letter to the chief.

Hope this message finds you well, & you’re having a great start to your summer!

I am contacting you because my friend Alida Cardos Whaley has asked me to help her organize a Summer Open Mic series.  We are teaming up with Still Waters Poetry Collective to drop this series that will run from Tuesday June 16^th through August 18th. The purpose of this series is to provide a place for youth and young adults to come, meet, build community and share their art, music, poetry, and spirit. The event will be held every Tuesday night from 7pm – 9pm with at least an hour block after 9pm to kick it, freestyle, etc. Two different locations will be utilized: Brewed at 1208 Brady St. and Taste of Art on 47^th and Lisbon. The venues will alternate weekly. The idea behind this is to build community that will travel to the other location the following week. This will in turn expose folks to a different side of town that they do not perhaps visit often. This will also accommodate more folks than if the event were to be idle.  Currently we are looking for possible features, hosts, and resources (printing, fliers , etc.) that would like to join us on this summer venture.

If you would like to co-sponsor, collaborate, or give us any type of feedback or knowledge it would deeply be appreciated!
In solidarity

“SINGS THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END” STORIES

Racine mom accused of leaving kids in hot car while at tanning salon

Associated Press

RACINE, Wis. — A Racine mother who left her newborn and toddler in the car while she visited a tanning salon is facing felony charges.

A criminal complaint says Yolanda Kruse, 24, left her 1-week-old son in his car seat and her 22-month-old daughter in the front seat of the car and went into the Twin Lakes tanning salon about noon on May 23. Even though the windows were rolled down, police say the temperature inside the car reached 102 degrees in the sun.

When a salon employee heard the toddler cry out for her mother, the employee called police. The children were turned over to their father. No injuries were reported, according to the Kenosha News.

Kruse has been charged with two counts of first-degree recklessly endangering safety. If she’s convicted, Kruse faces a possible 15 years in prison.
