Fourteen Years of Reflections in the Park
“I’m cold!” That was Hillcrest Family Services’ Mindy Stiles’ reply to the question “How are you doing?” when we called her at Louis Murphy Park last week during setup for the organization’s annual Reflections in the Park holiday light display. Understandably so – while it was only about 30 degrees and sunny even, a brisk wind made for a wind chill factor that was … well, a whole lot colder. As Reflections in the Park is set to open Thursday, November 27 (marked on most calendars as Thanksgiving Day) 365 stopped at Murphy Park to see the last adjustments to the setup of the lights and talk with Reflections coordinator Stiles and longtime volunteer Rich “Bummy” Baumgartner.

The 365 Wine Tour Concludes at Stone Cliff
For our final installment in our series of articles on area wineries, we turn our attention back to Stone Cliff, now located in the Star Brewery at the Port of Dubuque. 365ink last featured Stone Cliff in our late July issue of 2007, when owners Bob and Nan Smith were just opening the new facility in the historic brewery building. So it only made sense after featuring some of the other Tri-State area wineries this summer and autumn to check in with the Smiths to find out how things have been going in the past year.

Opening the Doors of Rocky Waters Winery
When Jared and Phyllis Spahn purchased over 100 acres of hilly land just east of Hanover, Illinois, in 1994, they just were not sure what to do with it. It had a lot of things going for it – several streams coursing down the rock slopes, a beautiful freshwater lake, and gorgeous panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. 365 explores this winery as part of the 365 Wine Tour Series.

Automakers Request $34 Billion In Loans
The Detroit auto companies made another pitch to the Senate Banking Committee for massive loans to keep operating. They were more contrite than last month and offered a lot more details. But it is still unclear whether they will get the $34 billion they say they need to keep going. The auto executives will appear before the House Financial Services Committee Friday.
Detroit Bailout , A Matter Of National Security?
One of the arguments made for a bailout of the auto industry is that it is a matter of national security. To learn more about the connections between the Big Three and the military, Renee Montagne talks with retired Lieutenant Colonel Dakota Wood of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments.

Obama Appointments Create Ripple Effect
President-elect Barack Obama has been attempting to fill quickly key White House and Cabinet positions. This week he picked New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano and Governor Bill Richardson of New Mexico to fill Cabinet positions. Those appointees will leave unsettled political situations at home.
O.J. To Be Sentenced In October Conviction
OJ Simpson faces at least six years in prison when he is sentenced Friday in Las Vegas. The state parole agency is calling for at least 18 years. In October, a jury found Simpson guilty of 12 felonies related to a robbery that he and six other men committed last year.
Where Did The Money In The Housing Market Go?
Over the past year, the collapse of the U.S. housing market has left many homeowners dazed. Their biggest asset is suddenly worth thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, less than it was worth just a couple years ago. So where did all that money go?
Fence Affects Border Town Culture, Relationships
The border fence between Eagle Pass, Texas, and Piedras Negras, Mexico, is forging a physical barrier between towns where culture and economy are closely related. The fence, which has met strong opposition from the mayor of Eagle Pass, has strained relations between the towns.
Automakers' National Security Claims Questioned
In making their case for a $34 billion government bailout, the Big Three automakers have warned Congress that allowing them to go bankrupt would hobble the nation's economy. They also say it would be devastating to national security — an argument many defense experts say is dubious.
GM CEO Outlines Company's Plans
GM CEO Rick Wagoner is back on Capitol Hill this week with the chief executives of Ford and Chrysler to convince Congress that the automakers need federal help and are prepared to make sacrifices in return for taxpayer money.
UAW Workers Ponder Their Fate
The United Auto Workers union has taken a beating in Congress, with some lawmakers suggesting it is largely to blame for most of the U.S. auto industry's troubles. The UAW now says it is willing to put everything on the table in order to help automakers get government aid.
Racial Divisions Challenge Gay Rights Movement
California's black and gay communities have tried to mend fences since black voters turned out in large numbers to help pass Proposition 8, the state's ban on same-sex marriages. Now activists are seeing another rift as well, between white and black gays.
