Touring Northfield with a bike and pedestrian expert - Steve Clark
October 9th, 2006
This week, I was fortunate to join Steve Clark, the Walking and Bicycling Program Manager at Transit for Livable Communities, during his day-long visit to Northfield to share his professional expertise.
Bruce Anderson, the executive director of RENew Northfield, and I met Steve downtown. He had traveled from St. Paul on his motorcycle, and when we met him he had already seen some of our city. We sat down for a brief talk, looking at some maps and discussing some of the issues facing nonmotorized transportation in the Northfield area. We then got on our bikes and toured part of town. Charley Skinner had loaned us his dual recumbent bicycle for the tour, so Bruce and Steve were able to sit side by side and talk.

Mark Youngs and Merrill Lynch after 9/11
October 2004
Helping the Families of Heroes
IN THE THREE YEARS SINCE THE TERRORIST attacks of September 11, 2001, the surviving wives and children of firefighters who died in the collapse of the Twin Towers have had to deal with agonizing trauma and grief. They've also had to deal with sudden financial crises as well as torrents of money pouring in from governmental agencies and the public.
To help the 9/11 families, the New York City Fire Department worked with the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation (NFFF) to develop a program called "Time to Take Control of Your Finances." Creating the content and teaching the monthly seminars since early 2002 -- all at their own expense and without any intention of profiting from the effort -- have been three Merrill Lynch brokers: Mark Youngs, 46; Rick Cullen, 56; and Bill Shields, 47.
How did these three Merrill brokers based in Annapolis, Md., come to help the families of New York's Bravest? Through a client connection.
One of Youngs' clients is Ron Siarnicki, executive director of the NFFF, which is headquartered in Emmitsburg, Md. Congress created the non-profit organization in 1992 to honor firefighters killed in the line of duty and to assist their families in re-building their lives.

An Interview with Christopher Bonn Jonnes
by Cindy Penn
Reprinted from a November 2000 WordWeaving.com interview
I am Christopher Bonn Jonnes, author of the new suspense novel, Wake Up Dead. Jonnes is pronounced "Jones." In fact, it used to be spelled that way until my grandfather changed it in the 1920s. Bonn is my mother's maiden name. I'm forty-two years old and live in Minnesota with a lovely wife and three children, ages ten to twenty-four. I'm the Chief Operating Officer, part owner, and twenty-seven-year employee of American Polywater Corp., an industrial chemical manufacturer. I enjoy motorcycles, guitar, softball, volleyball, running, horses, reading, and writing.
When did you know you wanted to be a writer? Besides WAKE UP DEAD, what else have you written?
I've always wanted to be a writer. I wrote my first book when I was eight. It was entitled, "Chris Jonnes - The First Six Years." I commissioned my little sister (the "artist" of the family) to illustrate it. I was crushed by the failure to publish that, and didn't try writing again until about ten years ago. Then I completed a novel that taught me three things. 1) I liked to write. 2) I had the perseverance required to tie sixty thousand words together on paper. 3) I was really bad at it.
