haven't been posting on this here blog lately because of some major other things going on, most of which are cool and great and some involve writing. new job working for americorps VISTA, sort of the domestic Peace Corps but not so much direct service as coordinating cool events for Eastside St. Paul community members, like visiting the library and learning how to find books, dvds, newspapers, how to use the online database and catalog, how to use a computer, how to type words on the computer (really!). many of them speak very little English, so I have to translate library tours into Spanish when that is the case, them not knowing English and instead, Spanish. Also designing and building a Web site/service learning database with the help of a graphic designer and IT department at Minneapolis Community and Technical College. Also creating a wiki for our Center for Civic Engagement to use internally. wow, that's a lot. Now to revert to proper English spelling and grammar and capital usage:
Here's what I've been writing:
"Civilized Leisure"- restaurant opening news and interview with owner. The Southwest Journal, August 29, 2007.
"Chickens taking over Minneapolis, one backyard at a time"-feature story about a family raising chickens in Uptown Minneapolis. The Southwest Journal, October 2007.
"Hopkins water safe, say officials"- news report about groundwater contamination. Lakeshore Weekly News, September 25, 2007.
Lake Minnetonka area Farmers Market roundup. Lakeshore Weekly News, October 9, 2007.
More to come sooner than later.
