There are, as the business week ends, no municipal public meetings scheduled in City of Whitewater. Enjoy your weekend.
The National Weather Service predicts that today offers a chance of rain, with a high of 47 degrees. The Farmers’ Almanac continues its same multi-day series with a prediction that “very unsettled weather sweeps in from the west.”
Yesterday’s better prediction: NWS. The nebulous predictions from the FA continues through tomorrow.
In our schools today, it’s the second day without school, but of Parent-Teacher Conferences.

He published his first article in 1883, received his B.A. in 1884, then his M.A. in History in 1888. After a year of study at Johns Hopkins (Ph.D., 1890), he returned to join the History faculty at Wisconsin, where he taught for the next 21 years. He later taught at Harvard from 1910 to 1924 before retiring. In 1893, Turner presented his famous address, “The Significance of the Frontier in American History” at the Chicago World’s Fair. Turner died in 1932.
