Caron Butler featured on Dallas blog
Racine, Wisconsin provides relief from thirst. Caught between Chicago and Milwaukee, Racine provides plenty of fast food restaurants, gas stations, and yes, a cheese store.
An oasis off of I-94, Racine, Wisconsin offers charm and history that few take time to visit or experience.
NBA players during All-Star weekend had a hard time pin pointing the time and place that they fell in love with the game of basketball. Most of them insisted that it was there when they were born. Brandon Jennings, rookie from the Milwaukee Bucks, talked about the feeling he felt when he was a young kid when he stepped on the basketball court.
Racine, Wisconsin is where Caron Butler solved the riddle to his questionable upbringing. Arrested over 15 times before he was 15 years old, Butler was in a detention center in Wisconsin when he told himself enough is enough.
“I wrote my mom letter after letter while I was in prison promising to change my life, and that she deserved a better son. I used basketball to achieve my promise to her.”
In solitary confinement for disciplinary reasons Caron saw his future written all over the walls of his cell. “They were blank. I didn’t see anything but a life staring at a blank wall in solitary confinement.”
Caron Butler has traveled the nation. Stops in Connecticut, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., and now Dallas.
“Those easily could have been prison stays.” Continue reading

Letters about Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare
Good care from doctors
I just read in the paper the article on how much money Dr. Branko Prpa made in 2008.
To me he is worth every dollar. I had a major back surgery done by him in 2005.
If Dr. Prpa leaves I think it would be a big loss to the people of Racine and Wheaton Franciscan-All Saints. Dr. Prpa is a very talented doctor.
By the way you did not tell how much the head of Wheaton Franciscan-All Saints made at that time.
How much money did Dr. Prpa bring into All Saints?
I have had very good luck with the doctors at All Saints. They have always given me good care and the time needed to explain everything. The nurses are also outstanding.
