Fix Your Garage Door Before Winter | Milwaukee News

Milwaukee summers are the perfect window to prep your garage door before winter hits—don’t wait until snowstorms turn small issues into expensive repairs. Experts warn that hesitation, strange noises, or incomplete openings are red flags. Inspect for warped panels, off-track doors, broken springs, and hidden damage from pests or hail. If your door’s over 15 years old, replacement may be smarter than repairs. Plus, sealing drafts now saves big on heating and cooling bills.

Veritas Expands, Grandview Closes | Milwaukee News

Seeds of Health is expanding its acclaimed Veritas High School program with a new campus in Milwaukee, marking a major milestone for the organization — and signaling the end of an era as Grandview High School, its pioneering school since 1987, prepares to close after the 2026-2027 school year. The Grandview campus will be transformed into Veritas East, opening in 2027-2028, while the current Veritas campus becomes Veritas West. This growth, fueled by a $800,000 state grant for successful charter schools, reflects soaring demand for Veritas’ college-prep model — where every student graduates on time with a post-high school plan. Though Grandview had a low state rating, its legacy as the birthplace of Seeds of Health remains vital. With this move, all Seeds of Health schools will now operate under UW-Milwaukee’s charter authorization, serving over 1,500 students across Milwaukee.
