I bought the snaps for the pants too. Have not tried them yet, but I am hopeful...Yes I have tried a few gadgets over the years, almost all never held up to all the hype. The perfect brownie pan was one of the worse... I usually wait to buy any of that gadget stuff untill I see it at the dollar store or a rummage sale. Most of the time the items there are still in the pkg so I get to try it out for .25 -.50 and I don't feel cheated if it is a bum product.

I believe they are giving to UW-Whitewater because UW-W are the ones who gave Mr. Studer the chance at a great college education,(when other schools did not) without them opening their doors to him, he wouldn't be where he is today...so he just wants to pass that along to others.

Thank You Mr & Mrs. Studer

Thank You Quint and Rishy Studer. What a wonderful gift you have given our students. I am especially pleased that it is not going to be based solely on grades and that the financial need of a family will come in to play. There are a lot of great youth out there that this will benefit,and give a chance to those to attend college, where it might not otherwise be possible. This is definitly a shot in the arm for our community. THANK YOU

Mom worked at Browns hobby, as a receptionist for a Dr. , Parker Pen, and our families hobby shop ...She is also an artist and we went to many, many art & craft shows selling her tole & decorative painting stuff. I remember well all the family dinners, especially Sat. nights when we would drive in to get Pizza Hut pizza (in the paper cone like wrappings) and Kentuck Fried Chicken (we never thought to call it KFC lol) we had a large coffee table that had folding sides we would prop up and lay it all out while we watched family tv in front of the fireplace...oh what memories oh and the pop was from a glass bottle ! wow what a blast from the past :)

I hope for only a inch or 2, but am expecting 5"...only because with my luck (all bad) that is way it will be since I have to be out and about tomorrow and I just hate driving in the first snowfalls of winter :(

Not because I can't drive in it, but due to all the idiots out there that think it is like driving on dry pavement...They are the ones who most commonly cause the accidents

My dad worked for 35 years at Ryans construction here in Janesville, then he was at Mann Brothers He was a chief engineer...designed roads/hwys, railroads, and many comercial properties roads/parking areas. His most memorable one (for me anyways) was designing and working on the Playboy Club in Lake Geneva. As a kid I use to hate going to job sites with him. I'd sit in the van for hours reading or playing my electronic Battleship Galatica game. Most kids would love to see all the big machinery and jump at the chance to ride in it, my response was oh so another earthmover big deal LOL

The one thing I did like about his job is that we got to travel a lot to have him see the job sites while he had to work, on the way to or from we would get to vacation. Another plus of his job was that we were ALWAYS the first to know when something was going to be built or go on :) as he had to do all the "ground work" for the developments. Saddly he passed away several years ago and was not able to enjoy a retirement.

On School district wants more info on poll workers
Posted on January 23 at 11:01 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
From the Journal article it says it would cost $7 for each background check X 2000 poll workers that is $14,000 1/2 of the cost to be pcked up by the school dist...that money IMO could be better spent elsewhere.
