Maybe the district should get rid of the consulting firm and do the addition themselves

My heart goes out to John's family. I am fortunate to know his father, Howard. Sounds like John was just as sincere and caring as his father is. My condolences to the family.

I was there Monday and the food and service is just as good as before!!! I really like the inside of the restaurant. Way more room and the way they incorporated the signed walls is wonderful. Good luck to you in the future. You have a great restaurant and I really hope it continues to grow:-)

On GM will shutter Janesville plant

Posted on June 3 at 7:34 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I have/had several family memebers that work/ed for GM. I know what kind of stress these employees go through not knowing with each new model and type of vehicle if itis going to be a "hit" or not. It was not poor management. The SUV's were, and still are, a great vehicle. We have one and would not trade it.
My husband works for Gilman, I know what the GM families are feeling as we are too.
Poor management? NO,lack of interest in some vehicles, yes. There just is not call for certain vehicles and machinery anymore.
We do need help with the economy. But, who can help with that? Govenor, President, citizens? Yes to all. We all need to pull together.

On GM will shutter Janesville plant

My husband and I saw this on Channel 27 News last night. They were talking about rumors that the plant would close and that there would be a meeting and formal announcement today at the plant.
It is getting very scarry around here with all the business closing. GM is the biggest business around here. Gilman closing as well in an anouncement just Friday. Who is next?!
We do need someone that can help the economy and fast!

On Car stunt puts youth near death

I can't believe what I am reading! They request that you keep it clean, be nice. I can't believe adults are so cruel. When my children were teenagers I worried that they would get "carried away" in the fun and excitement. Who doesn't? Adults do all the time. Don’t forget about all them out there with DUI’s. We all make poor judgments at times. Don’t punish these kids any more than they already have. You are also punishing their family and friends.

On Employee stops thief, but gets fired

mcs...it does state in the article that he thought he could handle the situation without his bosses finding out. Read it again. Just for the record...Target does not fire someone for just one misconduct! Granted, the store policy "sucks" but there is a reason for it. If he wanted to stop her why didn't he do so the first time? As with any story, there is more to this then meets the eye. Everyone is speculating on what happened as the entire story is not here. If you work for Target or know someone that does you will find that out.

He wanted to handle the situation low key without the bosses finding out. That is the same as lying in my book.

mcs, your statement doesn't make any sense. It does state in the article that he lied. I was stating about the hurtful statments toward a store upholding the law and rules of the establishment. As for my statement about the prices not going up due to shoplifting--sorry---I did misspeak. It does add to the increase but not 100% as some seem to be stating in these comments.

Also, TARGET is NOT the only store being hit with shoplifters and firing of personnel due to misconduct at work. I personally think Dean wanted 15-minutes of fame and to have people feel sorry for him due to his firing. I guess it backfired as it was pointed out he lied. I would not hire anyone that was fired due to liying, would you?

I will still continue my shopping at TARGET after this. TARGET followed it's rules to the letter. They also followed the law of the state. It is unfortunate that Dean was fired but, as stated, it was due to lying not helping the 16-year old. When you have a shoplifter you don't know if they have a gun, knife or even with HIV infected needles. TARGET, as well as all stores, have to be careful and put their saftey first before that of the shoplifter. Would you like to get shot for stopping a shoplifter? Not me. The prices in stores do not go up due shoplifting, they go up due to gas prices to deliver the merchandise and due to other economic increases. People please, stop and think before you post these hurtful unruly comments. Not eveyone is perfect, but we do have to follow rules and laws, which is what this store did.
