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.

Nouveau Across the Tri-States

The Asylum Street Spankers Perform in Dubuque
A man works long hours at the circus, cleaning up after the animals and giving enemas to constipated elephants. A friend, observing the menial nature of the work offers to help the man find another job. The man replies, “What? And give up show biz?” Ba-doom-cha!
The punch line to that worn-out vaudeville groaner not only served as the title of the Asylum Street Spankers two-week revue at New York’s Barrow Street Theater last January, but also the title of the new double CD documenting the band’s bawdy and theatrical live show.

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.

Pirates Arrrr Among Us!
Americans are fascinated by pirates: swashbuckling, saltsoaked seafarers who sport blousy shirts, spiffy vests, leather boots, eye patches, peg legs and the occasional parrot on the shoulder. But will the recent hijackings by Somali pirates make them not so loveable?
Underinsured Struggle To Afford Health Care
Improved medicines and treatments are increasing life expectancy for people with cystic fibrosis. But insurance doesn't pay for enough of those medical costs, leaving families affected by the disease to struggle with the financial consequences.
Budget Cuts Will Affect Enrollment At CSU
The nation's largest university system says huge budget cuts mean it won't be able to accept all eligible student applicants.

Those actions are expected to hurt low-income students with few academic choices.

Strategist Axelrod Will Advise White House
The Obama transition team has announced that campaign strategist David Axelrod will be a senior advisor. Some compare Axelrod's relationship with President-elect Obama to that of Karl Rove and President Bush, or James Carville and President Clinton. During the campaign, Axelrod wore out several BlackBerries because he was emailing, texting and calling so much.
Companies Looking Everywhere To Cut Costs
As companies try to survive the rough economy, they are cutting costs. The person in charge of deciding where and how deep to cut, is often the chief financial officer. <em>CFO Magazine</em> recently interviewed more than 300 CFOs, and nearly half said they plan to layoff workers. Kate O'Sullivan, a writer with the magazine, tells Steve Inskeep that companies are also looking at hiring freezes and reductions in overtime.
Economy Continues Downward Spiral
The economic news just keeps getting worse. The stock market is at its lowest level in more than five years. The number of homes being built continues its downward spiral. Retailers are predicting a miserable holiday season. David Wessel, economics editor of <em>The Wall Street Journal,</em> tells Steve Inskeep he's watching for signs of deflation.
Retirees Watching Anxiously; Will GM Be Saved?

Museum Of American History: A Gem Gets Polished
Washington's National Mall will regain a star attraction Friday, when the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History reopens after a two-year renovation.
