Why is there 80's tin, childrens Superman lunch box on his desk? Did he ride his new BMX dirtbike to work too? Totally rad dude! He would spike his hair and crank up "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham, but he is bald and the casette deck ate his tape.

Super! I should have no problem landing a nice job when I am a senior. 50+ and having minority status will ensure special preference!

On Committee chooses site for new city hall in Edgerton

M-balls, the parking lot you are talking about would remain parking for CUSTOMERS in the Edgerton downtown area as well as voters, meeting and court attendees, etc. The building Yahweh is talking about makes sense. Combining the police station and city hall could save money by combining the heating and cooling systems and communications network. In addition, the employees could have access to the workout room and a shared parking area for employees. The building could also be purchased and remodeled to house the city offices, eliminate vacancies, and highlight the historic features of the building. If the Masonic Temple is ever placed on the market, it would make a great restaurant & banquet facility. Eliminating the parking on adjacent to the Temple is silly. There is no public parking in that area aside from that lot. How do you expect the empty buildings to sell, or struggling businesses to have customers if they cant find parking? The little parking that is over there is taken up by the upstairs tenants, whose vehicles subsequently block the merchants windows. The upstairs of the building could house school offices to free up space in the future, meeting rooms for civic and support groups, or for records storage. I think the committee felt some of the struggles that potential business people face when looking to potentially locate in Edgerton. Vacant building location does not always mesh well with potential new uses. Add to that the parking constraints and visibility concerns to make the efforts that much more difficult. That is just your average small town constraints, but they can limit options. I am sure the municipal parking lot was not idea #1. I would be shocked if it were only the best option of the mediocre choices they had to work with. I am not saying it is the worst choice, rather I am saying to consider the option of replacing or remodeling an existing vacant building. Parking is valuable as merchants start to fill the storefronts.

On Crises are handled case-by-case

The real reason they do not want to take custody of a potential patient is the cost. 35 minutes for a balanced opinion is beyond pathetic. It takes longer to book a person into jail. There was mention made about a plan that typically takes place. It would be interesting to see if the wife was contacted. After all, the healthcare center claims they try to include the spouse. The least they could do is notify her of his immediate release, maybe what to be on the look out for, or signs of trouble. The healthcare center will hide behind HIPPA and claim all contact is confidential mental health records, but when they end up in court the family will prevail. Reasonableness has been overlooked here and the courts will recognize it. The Officers involved did a great job in identifying this subject as an unbalanced person in need of help, not jail. Unfortunately it is easier to relate the actions of the Officers, and the ultimate outcome after the fact. Too bad the CIW did not take enough time to properly identify the clues the officer saw that made the decision to take Shaun to the CIW in the first place. I hope the Officer that decided to escort Shaun to the healthcare center do not see this as a wasted effort in future conflicts. You did the right thing. Crisis failed everyone involved.
