Godfather of Game Day
Baseball season has been upon us for quite some time, and while it has been fun watching games from your 27-inch TV at home, spilling beer on yourself and eating the popcorn off your shirt, it’s time to switch it up a bit. That’s where Taverna Grill, 2839 Mall Dr. (formerly Jersey’s), comes into play. Taverna is a new sports bar and grill that will be opening in Eau Claire around the third week of June. Owners Joanne Palzkill and family have been in the restaurant business for more than 55 years now (they also own Draganetti’s), and are beginning a new, yet familiar adventure with Taverna.

Silica Sand Plant:
Development or Destruction?
Many citizens of Chippewa Falls, a city of 13,054 in Northwestern Wisconsin, are fighting to stop Canadian Sand and Proppants, Inc.(CSP) from building a silica sand processing plant on 90 acres of land within the city limits. Their finished product will be resin coated sand grains used to force oil and gas out of aging wells, a process called “fracturing”. CSP’s untested plan requires trucking the contents of four distant sandstone quarries into the city for round the clock processing, seven days a week. Land sales, rezoning, annexations and tax benefits were negotiated before citizens were informed of these plans, and their input since has been ignored. This project was promoted as a “golden opportunity” by local officials and economic developers. Many question if this is more “destruction” than “development”. The most polluting activities of the mining operation, the processing, will occur within one quarter to one mile of residential neighborhoods, schools, parks, medical facilities and daycare centers. Other destructive consequences anticipated include road damage from constant semi-truck traffic, degraded property values near the entire project, loss of agricultural land, and water and noise pollution. Of greatest concern is increased air pollution. Respirable crystalline silica is a known carcinogen and degrader of respiratory health. This is not a done deal. More at www.ccc-wi.com.

Volume One in Denver, Colorado
Zacarías Barnes recently cracked open an issue of Volume One right in the middle of a community garden in Denver, Colorado. (This one!) And he says, “Eau Claire is on the cusp of community gardening fame as we move to establish a bountiful edible landscape along the Chippewa River in one of our lesser known parks (North Riverfront). Check out the website and please blog ideas or photos!”
And we say bring it on. If you guys see cool stuff in other parts of the country/world/universe – stuff you'd like to see here – send it our way!
Hey thats my dog! Yep, hes pretty tough, gets the ladies too.
