Daily Bread for Whitewater, Wisconsin: 1-04-10

Good morning,

It’s an overcast day in the forecast for Whitewater, with a predicted high of about seventeen. I’ve had a readers tell me that she lives in a place where people start wearing overcoats when the temperature falls into the fifties. That wouldn’t be a falling temperature here; that would be an unseasonal high.

There are two municipal meetings for the city today: a senior forum at noon, and a Park and Rec Board meeting at 5 PM. The Park and Rec agenda is available online.

School is back in session today. There will be a music parents’ meeting at the high school choir room at 6:30 PM.

In our state’s proud history, on this date in 1923, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society:

1923 – Student Dancing Banned

On this date Milton College president A.E. Whitford banned dancing by students in off-campus, semi-public places such as confectionery stores. [Source: Janesville Gazette]

Sounds like a version of the movie Footloose.

Here’s a modern version of Footloose, from Drew Carey.
