Waunakee 2-year-old to appear on Frank's Sauerkraut cans

Posted on January 5, 2011

Hailey Bull’s love for shredded, fermented cabbage has carried her far in her early years of eating solid food: It’s given her an adventurous palate and kept her eating her vegetables.

And at age 2, it’s earned her a spot on the Frank’s Sauerkraut label.

“I’ve never met anyone that young that can stomach the stuff,” said her father Brian Bull, a lover of the briny topping himself, who first gave Hailey sauerkraut atop a brat last year.

“She put it in her mouth and didn’t spit it out,” he said. Then she asked for more.

Hailey is one of three people chosen so far as part of the “Frank’s Friends” program inviting sauerkraut lovers to submit photos of themselves enjoying the product, based in Fremont, Ohio..

The Bulls learned that Hailey was chosen for the label in mid-September, but the cans carrying her smiling face won’t hit store shelves until February. And being selected is the only reward; there’s no prize money or free sauerkraut.

Gun shop across from school stirs concerns in West Allis

Posted on October 15, 2010

City and school officials here are scrambling to react after it came to light that a property owner wants to set up a gun shop kitty-corner to an elementary school.

But they're not likely to prevent the shop from opening, and they may even be limited in what they can do to keep other such businesses away from schools.

Michael G. Govas, who owns a commercial and apartment building at 2192 S. 60th St., applied for a business occupancy permit in August to operate Shorty's Shooting Sports in a 1,500-square-foot storefront in the building.

The application says the store would sell "hunting supplies, handguns, shotguns, ammo, basically all hunting and shooting supplies, long guns."

The store is at S. 60th and W. Grant streets, the same intersection where Longfellow Elementary School in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District is located.

"I'm all for people having guns," said Diane Dorow, a neighborhood resident with a son in third grade at Longfellow. "I'm just real concerned that there's going to be problems.

"There's plenty of places they could open a gun shop, but across from an elementary school? It's just not right."

Madison elementary school does away with monkey bars in favor of "space-age" playground equipment

Posted on September 8, 2010

Don't look for baby swings or conventional monkey bars at the new playground next to Randall Elementary School. With names like "Wobble Pods," "Swiggle Stix," "O-Zone Rings" and "Podstomper," the bounding arcs of equipment look less like your grandfather's schoolyard than a structure preparing for lunar liftoff.

While traditional playgrounds — with places to swing and slide, dangle and climb — are still a hit with kids, a new generation of park equipment, designed for open-ended play, is cropping up around Madison. The idea is to add novelty while also giving children's bodies and imaginations a tougher workout.

"It does look space-age," said Alison Alter, a neighbor who helped head up the $110,000 fundraising effort for the first phase of improvements to Olive Jones Park, a one-acre, city-owned public park used daily by Randall's third-, fourth- and fifth-graders. The playground is being dedicated Wednesday.

Baby Born at Madison Fire Station

Posted on July 30, 2010

At around 5:30, the crew at Firehouse #5 was finishing dinner when the tones sounded alerting them that a pregnant woman was on her way to the station and delivery was imminent. Medic 5 was returning from one of the hospitals, so firefighters at the station took action as soon as the car arrived, just moments later.

The car was brought into the station, and the mother gave birth in the back seat of the car just 10 minutes later.

Shortly after the birth of a healthy baby boy, Medic #5 returned to the station in time to cut the umbilical cord and transport mom, dad, and baby to Meriter Hospital.
