Bill Sell  Public Enterprise: How the Socialists Saved Milwaukeeby John Gurda (Second Frank P. Zeidler Memorial Lecture, March 24, 2009) First of all, Im honored to be part of anything that has Frank Zeidlers name on it. Hes been a hero of mine for a very long time, not so much for what he did as mayorimportant as those accomplishments werebut for how he lived his life as a citizen of Milwaukee and a citizen of the world. Im not sure Ive ever told publicly the story of how I first met him. It was in 1970 or 1971, when I was a kid fresh out of college and working at a South Side youth center called Journey House. One of my jobs was to find work for some of our teens, and that led me one night to a meeting of the S. 16th Street Advancement Association. These were our neighborhoods small business owners and an obvious source of jobs. They met in the hall of Bert and Eddies Bar, a classic South Side watering hole. After the minutes were read, the president announced that Frank Zeidler would be dropping by, for reasons unspecified. Frank showed up not long after. His driver that night was Charlie Mentkowski, a Marquette law professor, and theyd been making the rounds of neighborhood meetings. (Some people bar-hop; Frank and his friends meeting-hopped.) After he was introduced, Frank gave an impromptu 10-minute speech about the South Sides growing Mexican population. He talked about their origins. He talked about their reasons for coming. He emphasized that they were good workers, with strong families. You have to remember that S. 16th Street was still almost completely Anglo in 1971. What Frank was trying to do was to help the old guard adjust to an ethnic transformation that was just over the horizon.

This year’s Special Guests
 Safeguarding Milwaukees Youth: An Interview with Pathfinders Dan MagnusonBy Patricia ObletzDaniel O. Magnuson, MA, MSW, is the President/CEO of Pathfinders, formerly known as the Counseling Center of Milwaukee. This 40-year&-old, non-profit agency works with young people who are in crisis due to physical or sexual assault, homelessness, poverty or mental health issues, such as depression and post traumatic stress disorders. Dan also chairs the Youth Mental Health Connections (YMHC). He met with Peace of Mind to talk about the status of at-risk young people in Milwaukee County. Dan said, Ive been working to help children for 31 years, and became president of Pathfinders six years ago. Before that, for a decade, I worked for a large national association in human services, traveling across the country to engage with agency people focused on issues of mental health and human services. When I got here, I was struck by the racism and economic fragmentation of Milwaukee in general. The human service and provider community reflects this fact. White providers didnt know black providers well enough, let alone work with them as well as could be. To overcome distrust requires relationship-building. To create functional working relationships, you have to get to know each other. But there werent any organizations focused on youth mental health that crossed the boundaries between juvenile justice, child welfare and communitybased organizations. There were groups, but each was focused on only particular slivers of this population.  Competition for funding was another divisive factor. But its not all about money. Its this larger issue that Milwaukee is the seventh poorest city in America; it ranks in fourth place for having the poorest kids. This city has one of the highest rates of violence in the nation; it is one of the most racially divided. And, according to the Census Reports, Milwaukee has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates per city in any industrialized nation, which was projected to increase annually. Since this fact was made public, the United Way and other agencies began to concentrate on preventing teen pregnancy. Half of the fathers of babies born to girls ages 14–17 are 20 years old or older. The statistics on girls who have sex involuntarily show us that 74 percent of girls who have sex before 14, and 60 percent of girls who have sex before 15 have sex involuntarily. Fortunately, in this city, there are a number of bright, dedicated people working to improve conditions for kids. A number of them are members of the Milwaukee Youth Mental Health Connections (YMHC). The YMHC network first met in 2004 to find out who is focusing on the youth at risk and their mental health status. To answer that question, YMHC obtained funding to launch a series of surveys and interviews with key people in town; this effort took about six months. The $25,000 for this project came from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation: Bob & Linda Davis Family Foundation; The Annie E. Casey Foundation & Alliance for Children and Families; Northwestern Mutual Foundation, and the United Way of Greater Milwaukee.  Surprising Survey ResultsThe findings of this study were surprising, and far more complicated and more difficult to summarize. The survey revealed that between 35,000 to 40,000 kids in Milwaukee County (15 percent to 20 percent) would benefit from some kind of community-based outpatient care. Given environmental stresses, in particular, poverty, that number could be much higher. The take-away information from this survey is that, in general, the number of therapists in Milwaukee matches the level of need. It is not so much that Milwaukee needs more general social work, but it does need more specialists, such as child psychiatrists and other providers with expertise in youth mental health (http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/PatriciaObletz/WashingtonParkBeat2007-08-09 ) The county also needs more providers who are trained to work with kids who have been sexually assaulted, and more providers who are culturally diverse to meet the cultural needs of the kids.
Planting the GardenToday the First Lady hosted Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and students from Bancroft Elementary, in the White House Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn of the White House to plant the garden and highlight healthy eating. The same school participated in the groundbreaking of the Garden on March 20 and will return later this year for harvesting and cooking with the food grown.   Victory Garden - Kilbourn Reservoir Written by Currents Staff
Several years ago, a seed was planted in Riverwest the seed of an idea for a community garden as part of the revitalization of the Reservoir at Kilbourn Park. This spring that seed began to sprout. There are many people determined to see that this seedling has all it needs to survive people like Kris Peterka and Andrea Kurth of the Riverwest Health Initiative; Janice Christensen of the YMCA Community Development Center; Tom Schneider, Executive Director of COA Youth and Family Centers; members of the Kilbourn Park planning group and many, many others. Ive referred to it as a Victory Garden, Christensen explained, although I expect that the name and all the other details will be finalized by a planning group that we hope will form after the first organizational meeting which is set for Saturday, March 28. At the Blueberry Pancake moments at the Riverwest Co-op Cafe yesterday, Jan said that the one half acre section of the Reservoir on North Avenue just to the west of Humboldt will contain from 40 to 60 four by eight raised bed plots, with soil rich enough to provide most of the veggies a 2 person household will consume in the season. The plots are not just for individuals but also for organizations like the Children’s Outing Association, Riverside after school programs, and food pantries. Persons or organizations interested in a plot can send an e-mail to [email protected] Read the rest at The Riverwest Currants website
Paths to a Sustainable Future Hosts June 16 Chickens for Milwaukee Gathering at the Urban Ecology Center!’ Here is a general description of what Paths is hoping to pull together: June 16: Backyard Chickens?: They do it all.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VD0nKNQeBc Some of the comments on this video have been described in very negative ways.
 Alice Waters Is One Of UsEach of us should be known for what we actually do rather than what we say, especially if what we say is being filtered through the media with its agenda. Through that lens, I don’t see how anyone can criticize Alice Waters. She has done amazingly generous acts throughout her career and spoken truth to power on many occasions. Her insight into how to civilize a generation of children through food is worth reading again and again. We could all benefit from a little more civility in this particular moment. Despite the intelligence and analysis of some of your comments here, it is so frustrating to me to witness how we in the social activist world and non-profit world manage to eat our own on a regular basis. Have you considered that the anger and vitriol expressed on this issue may be misplaced? Rather than feeling so angry with Alice about how her portrayal of the local, sustainable food movement played out with this round on 60 Minutes, can you try to see that the whole story was chosen by the editors of the segment? They were speaking to the bias against the local food movement (it’s too expensive, too inconvenient, and too time consuming for the average person) just as much as they were featuring one of our more prominent spokespersons. That bias could be seen as coming straight from Big Ag as a social meme that they nurse to keep their market protected from people changing their habits. They don’t have to do much to keep it going. Just feature a couple of comments that can be freely cherry-picked from a daylong conversation with a national spokesperson. Then leave it to the activist community to go through a wholesale discount and destroy the reputation of one of its own. We must continue to move with common purpose. We are making wonderful headway in this new political climate. Alice Waters is one of us. I urge you to reclaim her and the beauty of her intentions. Let this go, please! And if you ever find yourself caught up into the dubious role of speaking for all of us through such an impure medium as our media with all of its hidden agendas and powerful skewing mechanisms, I will surely send you blessings. Back to work indeed… Claire Maitre

   Our property tax system is broken; it is over-worked; it is the catchall when the state and the federal government fail to fund needed government services. The result is that the residential homeowner gets stuck with bills that our society needs to find a better way to pay.

Why not, for starters, initiate some conversations with the more accessible people in these institutions and participate in this rich communication network? Who will help us grow these fish? Who will help us bake these loaves? Clinton, Yale invite Will Allen to speakMilwaukee Feb. 9, 2009 This will be a busy weekend for Will Allen, founder and CEO of Milwaukees Growing Power Inc.
After that session, Allen will jet home just in time to turn around and visit Yale University in New Haven, Conn., for a special address Monday to the faculty, students and guests of the Yale Sustainable Food Project. The Austin conference is billed as a special plenary session of the Clinton Global Initiative, which is sponsored by the Clinton Foundation. Allen and others will address issues of food security and food justice in a world threatened by economic and political upheaval, global warming, overpopulation and outmoded food policies. The moderator for the discussion is Raj Shah, the director of agricultural development for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Other panelists include Barrymore, who has been named an Ambassador Against Hunger to the U.N. World Food Programme; Emma Clipinger, a student at Brown University; Peter McPherson, president of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges; and film director Morgan Spurlock. The Yale Sustainable Food Project directs programs that support exploration and academic inquiry related to food and agriculture, and also manages a sustainable dining program and an organic farm on the Yale campus.  Its pretty clear that food, pure and simple, is not being taken for granted anymore, Allen said. Conferences like these, sponsored by some of the most important institutions in the world, suggest it has finally sunk in: We need to address hunger as a global threat. Growing Power Inc. is a national non-profit and land trust that operates community food centers in Milwaukee and Chicago and provides training in urban agriculture around the world. Allen is the winner of a 2008 McArthur Foundation Genius Grant. CONTACT: Jim Price, Growing Power Inc.
Introducing Sweet Water Organics These Emmanuel Pratt photos present the “before” facility for the emerging Sweet Water Organics Aquaculture Project at 2151 S. Robinson, in the KK River Village. Sweet Water is the brainchild of Steve Lindner and Josh Fraundorf, along with minority partner James Godsil. All three have extensive backgrounds in the artisinal trades in hands-on work as well as entrepreneurial capacities. This project is growing with some very much appreciated wise inspiration and counsel by Will Allen of Growing Power, supported by Fred Binkowksi of the Great Lakes Water Institute. Here is an excellent presentation of a demonstration model of Will Allen’s Aquaculture System. http://www.growseed.org/growingpower.html Commissioner Rocky Marcoux and Development Director Kein Burton of Milwaukee’s Department of City Development, along with Alderman Tony Zielinski and many key participants in Milwaukee’s good food movement are also moved by this project’s possibilities, not just for Milwaukee, but for the world beyond. Seven “fish raceways” with a total of 110,000 gallons of water could potentially yield, if all goes well in this pilot “upscaling” experiment, 100,000 tilapia, lake perch, perhaps blue gill, in a year.  Permits for the project have been obtained. This past Saturday 450 ft. of 6 to 8 inches of concrete were sawn through to prepare for tomorrow’s heavy machinery excavation for five approximately 13,000 gallon below ground fish raceways. The underground tanks will be lined with 45 mil EPDM(fish friendly non-roofing variety). Emmanuel Pratt has been photographing and filming this entire drama, as part of a film on the Green Renaissance of Our Old Cities, with a focus on urban agriculture and sustainable architecture. The project will develop sequentially. The first 26,000 gallons are aiming for a March arrival. The first fish, tilapia, are hoped to arrive in April.  There are scores of pictures capturing the first days of this project at… http://www.flickr.com/photos/ourrenaissance/sets/72157612078356291/show/ It is quite possible that fish farming and aquatic plants in a Will Allen Greenhouse System is a 21st century industry of great significance. Here is the story of an urban aquaculture project using a model different than Will’s, but also, in my mind’s eye, worthy of consideration. http://www.newvillage.net/Journal/Issue2/2aquaculture.html We are hoping to inspire people to create aquaculture systems in their “City Homes and Farms,” perhaps in the immediate neighborhood of the KK River Village(just to the north of Lincoln, a block west of KK). For a satellite view of the KK River Village: If you would like to take a tour of this project as it develops, please let me know. James Godsil More on this project at… Home School City Farm Projects   Further evidence for the viability of Will Allen’s aquaculture methodology can be found in the inspiring work of Matt Ray at Fernwood Montesori’s Schoolyard Greenhouse and Aquaculture System.

Vote for Will Allen! The White House is considering transforming part of the White House Lawns into an organic farm to raise fruits and vegetable to be used not only in White House Meals but to donate to local food pantries. Several farmers across the country have been nominated, including Will Allen of Growing Power. Will operates a working farm within the Milwaukee city limits. He offers thousands of tours a year of Growing Power, a Milwaukee-based organization focused on sustainable urban agriculture. Growing power conducts workshops and demonstrations in aquaculture, aquaponics, vermiculture, horticulture, small or large-scale composting, soil reclamation, food distribution, beekeeping, and marketing. Will turns compost into energy to heat his green houses in the winter and has been integral in educating inner-city dwellers about the importance of organic farming and energy efficiency.
Thanks for taking the time!
