Good morning.
Whitewater’s week begins with a partly sunny day and a high of thirty-seven.
The city’s Planning Commission meets this evening at 6 PM.
If you’d like to begin your week with something thoughtful – and in that way truly inspirational – then Lizzie Velasquez’s talk at TEDxAustin is just the thing. Velasquez has a rare condition that prevents her from gaining weight, no matter how many small meals a day she eats. The condition has left her very thin, blind in her right eye, and the subject of taunts about her appearance.
Embedded below is her TED presentation, entitled, How Do YOU Define Yourself? More information about her presentations and books is available at her website, AboutLizzie.com
On this day in 1922, it’s the birth of the ‘oldest station in the nation’:
1922 – WHA Radio Station Founded
On this date the call letters of experimental station 9XM in Madison were replaced by WHA. This station dates back to 1917, making it “The oldest station in the nation.” [Source: History Just Ahead: A Guide to Wisconsin’s Historical Markers, edited by Sarah Davis McBride]
