On Is veterans plan right for Traxler?

Posted on April 24 at 11:11 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I agree with your editorial Mr. Peck. Well said. There is no need for the entire end of Traxler to be taken up with monuments for veterans. Cassville Wisconsin has a wonderful veteran's memorial in a park on the Mississippi honoring their vet's way back, covering all the wars their men and women served in. And the entire space it takes up is about 1/2 of what Traxler already has for our vets. No need to have such sprawling area. It can be done using less space.

Seems JPS had/has a hard time selling the bricks for the existing section, or has this changed? I did count 3 bricks for Stehura, yet found none for many of our guys were killed in action in previous wars. I only had the money to buy bricks for my close family who served. It'd be nice to get bricks for our men who were KIA but didn't earn the MOH.

A few weeks before this murder, there was a double murder/suicide in Janesville. Urial Behling took the life of Goldie Thomas and Steven Brown on N. Parker Drive before killing himself. It was the first murder in Janesville in 25 years according to the papers.

If you have a valid Wisconsin library card, you can read back issues of the Janesville paper on newspaperarchives right at home. You can read the original coverage of the Beuhl murder as reported, although this article is excellent.

No mention of alcohol in the promo.

The Blue Olives posted on the Rock Around The Block facebook why they did not play there. I see their point.

What does it mean when it says "Property In Redemption"? According to the Rock County property tax search this property was in redemption. Does it just mean they are behind in their taxes? It looks like taxes are owned for 2008 and 2009.
