Way to go Janesville City Council!! Finally something positive in the news today. All you negative naysayers, need to take a step back and get some perspective. If you continually say no to everything, eventually everything will say no to you. This is a truly positive step for Janesville. And for the record, not everyone in this city didn't want improvements to the hockey rink and the junior team. Only a few narrow minded folk like many of yourselves.

Can't believe that Beloit didn't show up to the party considering the poor financial situation the district is currently in. Great leadership!!

I never cease to be amazed by the narrowmindedness of those that live in this town. It's okay, we don't need a new hockey league, ice rink, new pool, or anything else that would draw families and businesses to our community. Good thing we have a multi-million dollar road to nowhere we can drive on though...the hockey league, potential new families and businesses will continue to go elsewhere as well-.-why would they want to come here????? I guess I will continue to take my kids out of town and spend my money there to swim because it is safe and clean, and when our rink closes I will take all my kids elsewhere and pay that community for the priviledge of skating there as well. So be it. You people scare me.

I was at the ice rink this weekend for the WAHA State Tournament. I highly suggest that to many of you writing on this blog stop by and actually see what is going on down there before your next posting. What a great opportunity to see what is really going on down at the rink. People from all over the state were here, in Janesville, having a great time. That rink brought in alot of money to this city over the weekend through hotel room stays, restaurants, mall purchases, etc. To say that it does nothing for this city is foolish. This weekend was proof of that, just like any other weekend during hockey season when teams from all over our region travel to play at the rink, just like Janesville teams travel to play them. I also saw, alot of people working hard to give people a great impression of this city. Which was difficult considering the roof was leaking and the freon alarm was going off during the last game. I can't believe that I have yet to read anything positive about hockey or figure skating in the Gazette. All I have ever read is negative, including the comments on this blog. Kids staying out of trouble and on the right path in life ultimately makes this a great city and costs less money than incarcerating them.

I am saddened to read some of the comments on this blog, such as only a few people use the rink or why should we pay for it...If you have ever attended a Bluebird Game or open skate, you would never say there are only a few people there. If we want people back in this city, we need to start investing in this city. A new ice rink, great idea!! When large businesses look at building in this city, they look at what this city can offer. Right now, it appears all we can offer is negativity and a doomsday attitude. Snap out of it Janesville. We can and should do better for ourselves, our kids, and our kids-kids!!

And just a side note to the Janesville Gazette, Janesville's Mite team lost 7-6 in overtime on Saturday it was a great game. Those kids played their little hearts out...Gazette reported 7-0 loss in Sunday's paper. Get it right Janesville Gazette--the correct information is important!!

The rink is closed today again because it is too cold, upon their arrival maybe the new team can practice at the library since it is still opened!! I hope they will change that pattern once we get the new hockey team. Way to go Janesville! Can't wait to cheer them on.
