Sølvi Falkenstein deler sitt vitnesbyrd om hvordan hun gikk fra et liv preget av angst, frykt og synd til å erfare frihet gjennom omvendelse og møte med Jesus. Hun forteller om en indre overbevisning om at Guds bud er gode, og hvordan denne sannheten drev henne til å bryte med livet hun levde og begynne å skrive offentlig om temaer mange vegrer seg for å ta opp.Samtalen går rett inn i kjernen av evangeliet og hvorfor nåde ikke kan skilles fra omvendelse. Hva skjer når synd ikke lenger kalles synd, og hvorfor trenger vi tydelige stemmer i en tid der sannheten tones ned? Dette er en episode om kall, frimodighet og behovet for å forkynne et helt evangelium som faktisk setter mennesker fri.

On today's show, host Douglas Haynes is joined in the studio by three representatives of Isthmus –Judith Davidoff, Linda Falkenstein, and Dean Robbins–who share their stories about Isthmus's history and its arts and news coverage as the newspaper celebrates 50 years in the community. Davidoff describes how Isthmus was founded back in 1976 covering the local arts scene before it expanded to become a local news outlet. Robbins says that the newspaper became a home for alternative voices, the quirky, the artsy, and the hard news that didn't find a home elsewhere in Madison. In those years, Isthmus was the only outlet working consistently with freelance writers, and it quickly became known for its award-winning arts writing, says Davidoff. Over the years, Davidoff says they've maintained their commitment to highlighting local voices, local events and news, and high-quality writing and editing. Their coverage of the Act 10 protests was a highlight of Robbins' time at the magazine. Falkenstein says that when the magazine was located at 101 King St., the office had a “vitality” and energy that can't be matched.  They also discuss the current journalism landscape and how they choose to cover protests and breaking news with a limited staff. We also hear from callers who share their memories of reading Isthmus over the years. Judith Davidoff is the editor and president of Isthmus Community Media. She led the transition of the paper to a nonprofit in 2021 and its relaunch as a print monthly.  Linda Falkenstein is the associate editor at Isthmus. She started at Isthmus in 1999 as special sections editor. Dean Robbins is a children’s book author and journalist who started as a freelance writer at Isthmus in 1983 and worked as the editor from 2009-2014.  Featured image of Dean Robbins, Linda Falkenstein, Judith Davidoff, and Douglas Haynes courtesy of Sara Gabler/WORT.  Did you enjoy this story?

Sind die Reiterhofgeschichten rund um Bibi & Tina vollgepackt mit wirtschaftlicher Ideologie? Niemand anderes als Wolfgang M. Schmitt vom YouTube-Kanal "Filmanalyse" seziert mit uns diese Woche das World Building rund um unsere liebsten "Pferdemädchen". Woher kommt dieser Begriff überhaupt? Welche Marketingstrategie steckt hinter den Hörspielen und was hat der Martinshof zu tun mit Rentierskapitalismus und der meritokratischen Gesellschaft? - - - zu Gast: Wolfgang M.

Doch steckt mehr dahinter? Der Podcast nimmt sich der Kultreihe an und geht weit über die üblichen Analysen hinaus. Filmkritiker und Autor Wolfgang M. Schmidt beleuchtet nicht nur die nostalgische Bedeutung der Serie, sondern auch ihre wirtschaftlichen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Ideologien. Der Ursprung: Vom Hörspiel zur Mega-Maschine Was als Spin-off von Bibi Blocksberg begann, entwickelte sich zu einem millionenschweren Franchise. Neben den Hörspielen gibt es mittlerweile Kinofilme, Serien, Musicals und sogar eine eigene Prime-Video-Serie. Der Podcast diskutiert, wie sich Bibi & Tina als Teil der deutschen Popkultur etabliert hat und warum die Pferde-Mädchen-Welt nicht nur Kinder anspricht. Ein zentraler Punkt: Die Vermarktung der Serie ist gezielt auf junge Mädchen zugeschnitten. Das „Pferdemädchen“-Klischee wurde bewusst genutzt, um eine treue Fanbasis aufzubauen. Doch wie harmlos ist diese Welt wirklich? Ideologie & Kapitalismuskritik: Was steckt hinter dem Martinshof? Ein spannender Aspekt der Diskussion ist die versteckte Ideologie der Serie. Der Martinshof, auf dem Bibi & Tina ihre Abenteuer erleben, ist kein unabhängiges Unternehmen – er gehört dem reichen Grafen Falko von Falkenstein. Frau Martin und ihre Familie sind nur Pächter. Dieses wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeitsverhältnis wird jedoch nicht hinterfragt. Während klassische Bibi Blocksberg-Folgen oft rebellische und systemkritische Elemente hatten, geht es bei Bibi & Tina meist darum, den Status quo zu bewahren. Die eigentlichen Bösewichte der Serie sind oft Figuren von „außen“ – neureiche Unternehmer, Investoren oder mysteriöse Fremde. Hier stellt sich die Frage: Wird hier eine kapitalistische Ordnung idealisiert, in der Besitz und Macht in den Händen der „richtigen“ Personen bleiben sollen? Fazit: Harmloser Kinderspaß oder unterschätzte Gesellschaftsanalyse? Bibi & Tina ist weit mehr als eine einfache Kinderserie. Der Podcast zeigt auf, dass hinter den Pferdegeschichten eine tiefere gesellschaftliche Struktur steckt – eine, die konservative Werte auf subtile Weise vermittelt. Während die Serie viele Fans durch Nostalgie und Abenteuer fesselt, lohnt sich ein kritischer Blick auf die Ideologien, die sie transportiert.

Wohnraum in der Schweiz wird immer knapper. Der Wohnschutz soll Leerkündigungen verhindern und für bezahlbare Mietpreise sorgen. Lässt sich das mit den Interessen der Vermieterinnen vereinen? Der Vermieter leert sein Mehrfamilienhaus für einen Umbau – jährlich erhalten so in der Schweiz 30'000 Mieterinnen eine Kündigung. Was besonders oft in Städten und Ferienregionen geschieht, sorgt überall für rote Köpfe. Sanierungen seien häufig nicht notwendig, es gehe um Renditemaximierung, so der Vorwurf. Verschiedene Wohnschutzinitiativen sollen das verhindern. Doch wie einschneidend sind Leerkündigungen für die Betroffenen? Sorgen die Massnahmen für einen besseren Schutz? Oder werden Immobilien und Umbauten so für Investoren unattraktiv und bleiben so die Verdichtung und der Klimaschutz auf der Strecke? Über dieses Dilemma diskutiert Reto Lipp im «Eco Talk» mit Patricia von Falkenstein, Präsidentin des Hauseigentümerverbandes Basel-Stadt und dem Zürcher Stadtrat Daniel Leupi.

Man müsse zumindest darüber nachdenken, den Kommandanten der Basler Kantonspolizei zu entlassen, fordert LDP-Präsidentin Patricia von Falkenstein. So weit will Felix Wehrli, SVP-Grossrat nicht gehen, er fordert grundsätzlich mehr Wertschätzung gegenüber der Polizei. SP-Grossrat Mahir Kabakci wiederum zeigt sich dafür offen, dass die SP in Zukunft mehr Geld für die SP sprechen könnte. Und: Nach langen Tagen im Spital proben sie noch ihr Instrument: Die Mitglieder des European Doctor's Orchestra. Diesen Sonntag spielt dieses Ärzte-Orchester im Basler Stadtcasino.

In den Augen der Basler Regierung ist das Musical Theater unrentabel und sanierungsbedürftig. Es soll einem Hallenbad weichen. Baden statt Kultur? Auf der anderen Seite kämpft ein breit unterstütztes Initiativkomitee für den Erhalt des Theaters. Wir diskutieren, warum das Musical Theater so viel Unterstützung bekommt. Wie rentabel es ist. Ob Popkultur und Unterhaltung neben Klassik und dem Theater genug Beachtung finden in Basel. Welche Kultur soll der Kanton unterstützen soll und welche nicht?

Annina von Falkenstein will das Angebot von Tagesfamilien in Basel-Stadt durch die Einbeziehung von Tagesgrosseltern erweitern. Viele ältere Menschen seien fit und hätten bereits Erfahrung in der Kinderbetreuung, was das bestehende Angebot erhöhen könnte. Aktuell gibt es zu wenig Tagesfamilien.

Nach den Ausschreitungen an der 1. Mai-Demo letztes Jahr, als die Basler Polizei einige Demonstrierende einkesselte, stellt sich die Frage, was passiert dieses Jahr. Bleibt alles friedlich oder wird die Polizei wieder eingreifen? Seit 11 Uhr ziehen rund 2000 Demonstrierende durch die Innenstadt. * Basler LDP-Präsidentin Patricia von Falkenstein kündigt Rücktritt an

Friedliche Demonstration am 1. Mai: Das Organisationskomitee wie auch die Polizei sind zufrieden. Die Gespräche im Vorfeld haben wohl gefruchtet. Befürchtungen, dass die 1.-Mai-Demonstration von antisemitischen Bannern und Äusserungen überschattet werden würde, sind nicht eingetreten. Ausserdem: * LDP-Präsidentin Patricia von Falkenstein gibt ihr Amt als Präsidentin ab * Ein Blick zurück: Vor 30 Jahren schaffte der FCB den Aufstieg in die Nationalliga A

Krankenkassenprämien, Mieten, Lebensmittelpreise: Das Leben in der Schweiz wird 2024 teils massiv teurer. Dies spüren gerade auch viele Familien in ihrem Haushaltsbudget. Muss die Politik jetzt handeln? Und: Wo kann sie den Hebel ansetzen? «Die finanzielle Situation von Familien in der Schweiz spitzt sich zu», so die Botschaft des jüngst publizierten Familienbarometers von Pro Familia. Rund die Hälfte der Familien gibt gemäss der repräsentativen Studie an, dass das zur Verfügung stehende Einkommen nur knapp oder gar nicht reicht. Eine Folge: Für vier von zehn Familien sind auch die Kosten ein Grund, auf weitere Kinder zu verzichten. Ein Blick auf die helvetische Gemütslage zeigt: Die steigenden Krankenkassenprämien zählen zu den grössten Sorgen der Schweizerinnen und Schweizer. Im Juni stehen gleich zwei Volksinitiativen zur Abstimmung, die das Problem anpacken wollen. Die Prämien-Entlastungs-Initiative der SP fordert, dass Versicherte höchstens zehn Prozent ihres Einkommens für Prämien ausgeben müssen. Deshalb soll die Prämienverbilligung ausgebaut werden. Die Mitte ihrerseits will mit der Kostenbremse-Initiative erreichen, dass Bund und Kantone Massnahmen zur Kostensenkung ergreifen, wenn die Gesundheitskosten im Vergleich zu den Löhnen zu stark steigen. Was spricht für und was gegen die beiden Initiativen? Was soll die Politik tun gegen die steigenden Gesundheitskosten? Einen weiteren wichtigen Posten im Haushaltsbudget vieler Familien stellen die Wohnkosten dar. Am 1. April kommt es für viele Mieterinnen und Mieter aufgrund des gestiegenen Referenzzinssatzes zu einer erneuten Erhöhung der Mieten. Explodierende Mieten und Wohnungsknappheit sind vor allem in Städten und Agglomerationen ein Problem. Während seitens linker Parteien regelmässig der Ruf nach Mietzinskontrolle und mehr gemeinnützigem Wohnungsbau ertönt, sehen bürgerliche Politikerinnen und Politiker die Lösung etwa im Abbau von Bürokratie und missbräuchlichen Einsprache-Möglichkeiten beim Bauen. Was lässt sich tun gegen steigende Mieten? Finanziell herausfordernd kann für Familien auch die Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie sein. Die Kindertagesstätten hierzulande gelten im internationalen Vergleich als sehr teuer – dies zeigt etwa die Unicef-Studie aus dem Jahr 2021. Im Parlament geben derzeit einige Geschäfte zu reden, die Familien in diesem Bereich entlasten wollen. Auf welche Weise ist die Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf zu fördern? Ist es überhaupt Aufgabe des Staates, Massnahmen zu ergreifen? Zu diesen Fragen begrüsst Nathalie Christen am 22. März 2024 in der «Arena»: - Barbara Steinemann, Nationalrätin SVP/ZH; - Samira Marti, Co-Fraktionschefin SP; - Patricia von Falkenstein, Nationalrätin LDP/BS; und - Stefan Müller-Altermatt, Nationalrat Die Mitte/SO.

When Shannon Falkenstein moved to El Salvador for love years ago she gained a unique perspective of the country. She created the FaceBook Expat page to share her newly gained insights. She and her husband began brewing beer in their home and soon created the very popular local Micro-Bewery Cadejo, along with a string of 12 Cadejo restaurants. Shannon Falkenstein's next entrepreneurial venture was in the field of education. She established her own Montessorai style school in San Salvador called Acton Academy. She is currently looking to create another unique school in the beach area.  "The people who are the most able to solve their problems are the people who have the problems"  "Our children learn to be, they learn to do and they learn to learn" -Shannon Falkenstien quoting Ron BrenneminContact her if you'd like to help establish a beach-side school or if you have an interest in bringing your kids in the future.ActonAcademyelsalvador.comhttps://www.facebook.com/CervezaCadejo/Live From Bitcoin Beach

What does it mean to be a highly sensitive person (HSP)? How does high sensitivity differ between individuals socialized as men versus women? What are the unique advantages and obstacles faced by highly sensitive men in their relationships and daily lives? In this episode, Effy and cognitive behavioral psychotherapist and author of "The Highly Sensitive Man" Tom Falkenstein take a deep dive into the core characteristics of high sensitivity and examine how societal expectations and gender norms shape the experience of sensitivity for men. Tom and Effy aim to shed light on the distinct challenges and advantages that highly sensitive men encounter in their relationships and everyday lives and provide practical tools and strategies to empower highly sensitive people to thrive in an overstimulating modern world. To learn more about TomTom Falkenstein has worked as a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist since 2006. After obtaining his degree in psychology in the UK, he completed his postgraduate training in psychotherapy in Germany. He then moved back to the UK where he worked as a psychotherapist in London. During this period, he developed a particular interest in high sensitivity and working with highly sensitive people.  He has been training with Dr. Elaine Aron (author of The Highly Sensitive Person) since 2015. Currently practicing in Berlin, he also offers workshops for highly sensitive people in both English and German. The Highly Sensitive Man is his first book and was published in Germany 2017 and since has been translated into a number of other languages. Singer-Songrwiter-Activist Alanis Morissette  called the book 'a breath of fresh air in the midst of a cultural determination to reduce toxic masculinity. This book is a balm, a movement and a revelation."Instagram: @tom.falkensteinBook: The Highly Sensitive ManWebsite: hsp-eu.comSupport the showConnect with us on IG and more:Curious Fox @wearecuriousfoxesEffy Blue @coacheffyblueJacqueline Misla @jacquelinemisla Email us or send a voice memo: listening@wearecuriousfoxes.comJoin the conversation: fb.com/WeAreCuriousFoxes

Hey, I've been really looking forward to sharing this topic of minimalism with you guys! I think it's something that can mean a lot of different things and we are digging in to the core of what this lifestyle can do for you and your home. It's not about stark empty everything, it's about intentional choices of what goes in your home and what you spend your time on. I love the intentional heart of this and that's why I want you to hear more about it. We're debunking some myths and figuring out how to utilize the best parts of minimalism to simplify mom life.   It's more than just decluttering your home, it's creating an intentional lifestyle with the things you need and love and nothing more. Our guest today, Alyssa Falkenstein, is a homeschooling mom of three who has a passion for urban homesteading and homemaking, and is currently writing a fantasy adventure novel. After losing herself in "hot mess mom" culture she wanted to find a way to thrive in her home and motherhood, which leads to helping other moms looking for the same.   Connect with Alyssa: Instagram.com/alyssabfalk Book instagram is Instagram.com/theleafandthefetter Blog  hammerandbee.com With bold love, peace and intention, Julie / / /   / / /   / / / What did she say?!

Saturday’s all right for writing! That is, writing information about land use, transportation, economic development, elections, and more! This is Charlottesville Community Engagement, a newsletter and podcast intended to let you know about a few things you didn’t know before, and intended to keep an eye on a great deal of things. I’m your host Sean Tubbs, exploring and exploiting my curiosity hopefully for your benefit. But please: No fighting! In today’s newsletter:The first campaign finance report is in for the race of the 55th House District, even if it’s still unclear when the election will be held Charlottesville Planning Commissioners seek action on safer streets in advance of the school A former Charlottesville school superintendent becomes Governor Youngkin’s permanent chief diversity officerThere’s one day left to fill out the latest questionnaire on Albemarle County’s growth management policy The head of the area’s aging services agency is elected to lead a statewide group First shout-out: Join me for a Cvillepedia training session - Brand styleIn today’s house-fueled public service announcement, the Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society wants you to know about an upcoming exhibit at the Center at Belvedere featuring portraits of several historical figures active in the Charlottesville area in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Frances Brand was a folk artist who painted nearly 150 portraits of what she considered “firsts” including first Black Charlottesville Mayor Charles Barbour and Nancy O’Brien, the first woman to be Charlottesville Mayor. Brand’s work will be on display from July 5 to August 31 in the first public exhibit since 2004. And, if you’d like to help conduct community research into who some of the portraits are, cvillepedia is looking for volunteers! I will be leading three more Cvillepedia 101 training sessions at the Center July 18 at 2 p.m. Sign up at the Center’s website.Laufer outraises fellow Democrats in 55th District There is still a possibility that Virginia will have an election this year for the 100 seat House of Delegates. A second federal lawsuit arguing that legislators elected last November are in unconstitutional seats still awaits a final ruling and November 8 is 115 days away from today. That makes yesterday’s deadline for active candidates for the House of Delegates that much more compelling. There are currently three people seeking the Democratic nomination in the new 55th District, which includes most of Albemarle’s geography, as well as northeast Nelson County and western Louisa County. The Virginia Public Access Project has pulled together all of the filings, and former Charlottesville School Board member Amy Laufer outraised her opponents with a total of $61,731 raised in June. Fifty-seven donors contributed more than $100, requiring their identification. That includes a transfer of $7,327 from Laufer’s previous campaign for the Virginia Senate in 2019. There is one $10,000 gift from Hunter Bourne, and a pair of $5,000 gifts from Clean VA and the Morrill Family Investment. There were 68 contributions below the $100 limit. Emergency room nurse Kellen Squire raised $41,531 from March 8 to June 30. Thirty-four contributions were in excess of $100 with 406 below that threshold. There is one $20,000 contribution from Kay Ferguson.Albemarle County Supervisor Donna Price raised $11,798 with ten contributions above the $100 threshold and thirty below. Republican Rob Bell is the presumptive incumbent, currently representing the former 58th District. Bell began the year with a balance of $76,253 and has raised $5,250 so far this year. More on the status of the lawsuit in the next installment of Charlottesville Community Engagement. One days left to fill out Albemarle’s growth management surveyAs mentioned in the last program, a survey is about to close for Albemarle County’s growth management survey. The county is in the midst of updating their Comprehensive Plan, and this is the second questionnaire. Here’s more from a video produced by the office of Communications and Public Engagement (CAPE). “New development proposals that require a change in zoning or a rezoning are evaluated by recommendations in the Comprehensive Plan, including the growth management policy,” states the narrator. “As part of growth management, the Albemarle County Service Authority establishes a jurisdictional area where public water and sewer will be provided. This jurisdictional area mainly corresponds with the development area.” If  you’re interested in hearing more, the Albemarle CAPE has posted the latest episode of their Let’s Talk Albemarle podcast. The guest is Rachel Falkenstein, a manager in the Community Development department who oversees long-range planning.“Usually we look out 20 years and that number comes from the state of Virginia,” Falkenstein said. “They require localities to have a Comprehensive Plan that plans for 20 years out into the future so we use that for most of our planning documents.” As of Friday afternoon, 270 people had taken the survey, according to CAPE director Emily Kilroy. The Albemarle Planning Commission will have a work session on the Comprehensive Plan on July 26. To catch up on previous stories on land use issues in Albemarle, check out Information Charlottesville through this link. And if you’re in the mood to fill in another survey, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission wants your input on the Regional Transit Vision Plan.. To catch up on all kinds of transit related stories, check out Information Charlottesville through this link. Youngkin appoints Atkins as chief diversity officerGovernor Glenn Youngkin has appointed former Charlottesville Superintendent Rosa Atkins to serve as Virginia’s Chief Diversity, Opportunity, and Inclusion Officer. Atkins has been serving in the position on an interim basis following the departure of his first appointee, Angela Sailor. According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Sailor left in April for a family matter. Atkins served as Charlottesville’s superintendent for 15 years before retiring. Earlier this year, former Governor Ralph Northam appointed her to serve as the acting superintendent of public instruction for the Virginia Department of Education. In the Northam administration, Atkins’ position was known as the Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, but Youngkin changed the name in Executive Order #10 when he appointed Sailor. “We must strengthen and focus the Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (ODEI) by including in its mission the promotion of entrepreneurship and economic opportunity for all Virginians — including Virginians with disabilities — as well as the promotion of free speech and civil discourse,” reads that order.Sailor’s name is still on the website for the office. In other appointments of note, a University of Virginia official has been named to the Virginia Economic Development Partnership. Pace Lochte is the assistant vice president for economic development. Youngkin also appointed Rob Rutherford of Nelson County to the Virginia Manufactured Housing Board. Rutherford is a manager with Pro Tech Builder, a maker of modular homes.JABA leader elected to Virginia aging services associationThe chief executive officer of the area’s aging services association has been elected as president of the state entity that represents all 24 such agencies across the Commonwealth. Marta Keane of JABA will begin a two-year term as president of the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging (V4A).Keane has been CEO of JABA since 2013. According to a release, during that time she helped form the Charlottesville Area Alliance as an umbrella organization for various entities that work with senior services in the community. “With this comes challenges to meet their increasing and changing needs, and opportunities to identify and maximize the strengths that seniors bring to our communities,” Keane is quoted in the release. “During the next two years, I hope to continue our efforts with demographic services to better identify areas that have unmet needs, work with networks to identify new ways to meet the needs, and identify new funding sources to allow us to grow and sustain critical services."JABA was formed in 1975 as the Jefferson Area Board for Aging. In today’s other two shout-outs: Local media and Code for CvilleCode for Charlottesville is seeking volunteers with tech, data, design, and research skills to work on community service projects. Founded in September 2019, Code for Charlottesville has worked on projects with the Legal Aid Justice Center, the Charlottesville Fire Department, and the Charlottesville Office of Human Rights. Visit codeforcville.org to learn about those projects. The final comes from another Patreon supporter who wants you to go out and read a local news story written by a local journalist. Whether it be the Daily Progress, Charlottesville Tomorrow, C-Ville Weekly, NBC29, CBS19, WINA, or some other place I’ve not mentioned - the community depends on a network of people writing about the community.

Yesterday, the school system held a Transportation Talk and Walk Session to discuss a recent alert from Superintendent Royal Gurley that the bus driver shortage has worsened and walk zones will be expanded. This past Tuesday, the city Planning Commission was briefed on a request from one of its members that city government take steps to make routes to school. They got an update from Missy Creasy, Charlottesville’s assistant director of the Neighborhood Development Services office (NDS). “The city has a pretty robust program that they’re putting together to address how they are addressing the shortage at this point in time and some pretty innovative things on there,” Creasy said. These include encouraging older students to take Charlottesville Area Transit routes, hiring more crossing guards or finding more volunteers, and buying smaller buses that don’t require drivers to have commercial licenses. NDS director James Freas said the shortage provides an opportunity to apply goals of the recently adopted Comprehensive Plan to a real life problem. “Wrapped up in this challenge is an opportunity to explore those options,” Freas said. “The flip side of that is that it’s a little early for us right now in that we are in the process of building out a transportation planning program.” In May, Council was briefed by Deputy City Manager Sam Sanders on a series of problems with how the city has run its transportation planning program. For instance, transportation planners have had too high of a workload, and the city has been unable to move some projects forward. There’s also a vacancy in the position of bike pedestrian coordinator after the last person left the job at the end of 2021 to work for a consultant. “We expect that position to post very soon and see that position as really being able to take a lead role in doing exactly this type of work and that is coming up with innovative, innovative, and low-cost ways of improving pedestrians, particularly children’s safety, in the neighborhoods around our schools,” Freas said. Creasy said that the traffic engineer and the Safe Routes to School coordinator no longer work in NDS. Instead they work for the Public Works department, a decision made by former City Manager Tarron Richardson. Creasy said NDS does coordinate with public works, but more people are needed to implement what’s in the Comprehensive Plan. “We do have really good support for continuing to move forward in this direction,” Creasy said. “We have tools in place but we just need to fill them with humans so that we can keep the work going.” Creasy said she is aware of grassroots efforts to make things better, but coordination with the city is needed. Freas said that one remedy would be to paint bump-outs at curbs to provide more space for people. “It’s a significant safety improvement and you can do that with paint and potentially flex-posts, but even to do just that, you do have to do some engineering design, you do need to coordinate with public works street folks,” Freas said. Freas said that there’s a possibility of maybe having something done within six weeks, but he cautioned that it will be hard to do in that time frame. “I think, A, the school department’s plans are really good, I think they have some good solutions in place, and B, I think we can build towards that and start contributing the safety improvements we need to make as we go forward,” Freas said. Commissioner Rory Stolzenberg said he supported the idea of an official letter to City Council, but also said funding needed to be in place to implement the solutions.  “Is it safe to assume there is not within the currently allocated budget enough money to really address the things that staff would potentially want to address?” Stolzenberg asked. “Or potentially to hire outside traffic engineers to take some of the load of our in-house resources?” Freas said he would need to have a scope of work before answering that question. “We don’t have an identified line item for that right now so we would be cobbling together money from other sources,” Freas said. Stolzenberg said he would like the Planning Commission to recommend identifying money in the current fiscal year so incremental improvements can be made throughout the school year. He pointed out that Council voted in late June to purchase property for parking.“Council just spent $1.65 million on a parking lot with 40 spaces,” Stolzenberg said. “It seems to me that we can find money within the currently allocated [Capital Improvement Program] that could be reallocated to make sure that kids don’t get run over by cars on their way to school.” Stolzenberg also asked if the city has explored the ability to install cameras in school zones to capture people who speed. Freas and Creasy said they did not know if the city has done that research. The Commission agreed to send a letter to Council seeking support for the work. Stolzenberg said he would draft that document. The discussion took place just before the Commission’s joint public hearing with City Council. Vice Mayor Juandiego Wade said he heard the message.“It doesn’t have to be a war and peace type of document,” Wade said. “We understand the issues and we’re hearing a lot of from the citizens now.” Two more Talk and Walk sessions are scheduled this month. Do you have a specific concern? Drop me a line and I’d like to hear about it. Housekeeping notes for the conclusion of today’s newsletter:Thanks for reading! Today’s show is a rare Saturday show.
