On How do you think the result of the Nov. 4 presidential election will affect the Beloit casino project?

Gabby-
Proponants of the project say the current administration has made it difficult to get applications approved for off-reservation casinos.

Here's a link to the story.

Lol! Thanks, for the chuckle, Testerific. The Janesville Gazette, located at 1 S. Parker Drive, Janesville, has great readers!!

I just drove by Jim's on my way to an assignment and didn't see you there.

On Feeling like Cinderella

Wow, Kayla! That's so awesome! It really inspired me to look around my apartment for things I'm not using.

We all know it's important to donate food and practical clothes when we can.

But teens should have the chance to dress up and have a fun night of memories if they want. Heck, I still like to do that once in a while, too.

Adam, dear, you've been talking about a Halloween party as long as I've known you. So has another person I can see if I turn a little to my right. And another if I look over my left shoulder.

Sautee the onions till soft, about 3-5 minutes.
In a large bowl, mash the beans until almost smooth. Add sauteed onions and the rest of the ingredients, except the oil, adding the flour a few tablespoons at a time to combine well. Mixture will be thick.

Form bean mixture into patties, approximately ½ inch thick and fry patties in a small amount of oil until slightly firm. Make veggie burgers and enjoy!

On I love free books. But ...

Posted on October 9 at 7:20 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Actually, the books are pretty cool, although some of the titles are funny. "Livestock Guardians: Using Dogs, Donkeys and Llamas to protect your herd."

However, the photos are fantastic in the breed guide I blogged about.

I promise to spread the books in schools and libraries in Janesville and accross my beat! I appreciate the suggestions.

But I will never make a special trip to deliver the books, so it will be fuel-efficient donation.

I had to use the "Internets" to look up the word "dongle." I thought you were pulling my leg.

On Survey says: County parks need improving

Posted on October 2 at 8:47 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

Reporter Ann Marie Ames here to answer your question, officerfriendly1.

Here is a quote from Rock County Administrator Craig Knutson's notes in the 2008 recomended budget:

"An item included in the 2008 budget request is $11,000 to do an update of the Parks, Outdoor Recreation and Open Space Plan. (POROS)

This plan must be updated every five years to remain eligible for state grants. The planning department wrote the current plan.

However, given the deadlines which they must meet to complete the comprehensive plan, they may not have the staff time needed to update the POROS plan.

Therefore, $11,000 is included to retain a private firm to assist with this effort."


On I’ll be seeing you
