Good morning,
Today’s forecast for Whitewater calls for a mostly sunny day, with a high of seventy-eight degrees.
It’s Market Day pickup in Lincoln School’s upper gym today, from 5 to 6 p.m.
These are times of economic hardship for many Americans, and particularly so for many in our part of America. I saw that there’s a post at Walworth County Today, requesting stories from those who are unemployed:
WALWORTH COUNTY — Area residents are suffering through the longest-lasting unemployment since the Great Depression.
Have you been out of work for six months or more?
Have you been trying to find work without any luck?
The Gazette would like to hear your story for a series to be published in June. What challenges are you facing? How are you getting by? What are your fears for the future?
If you have a story about long-term unemployment, please call Anna Marie Lux of the Gazette at (608) 755-8264 or email her at amarielux@gazettextra.com.
At the Wisconsin State Jounal, there’s a story entitled, “Cougars are back; DNR eyes way to deal with them.” These cougars are time-efficient, as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports they’re already at work: “Cougar sought after attacking cow in Juneau County.” They’re beautiful, but dangerous, predators.
