There’s a new rule this year at In the past, if a student skipped an entire day of school, they would have to serve an office detention. The new rule, enacted this year, states that for each class period missed a detention must be served. Skipping 4 classes = 4 detentions 88% of the students polled thought the new rule was too extreme…
What do you think, too extreme or does the new rule sound reasonable?

My voting day experience was a great one. How neat was it to see our Village President, Village Administrator and Trustees directing traffic? They spent more than TWELVE HOURS out there making it easy for us to get in and out, so I just want to say THANK YOU! Same thing once I got inside - there was a great team of volunteers ready to help both Union Grove and Yorkville voters. Whether your candidate won or lost, at the very least let's appreciate the effort put in by all to make the experience of voting a pleasant one.

According to a recent Wisconsin Legislative Redistricting report, there are 3086 persons of voting age living in Union Grove. How many of them do you think will vote in Tuesday elections? Will it be more than 75%? More than 90%? Take a guess, I'll come back later in the week and tell you exactly how many voted! Wednesday October 29, 2008

Not being a resident of Raymond or Union Grove, I'm not entirely clear on the history of public education in the area. However, I do have a question - Do 3 school districts really serve the area? Isn't that confusing for residents? Different school schedules, multiple entries on property tax statements, etc? Or does it only appear to be confusing to an outsider?

Last night, I saw a documentary on the History Channel called Black Blizzard. It depicted how the over-planting of wheat in the middle section of our country contributed to the Dust Bowl of the 1930s. The farmers destroyed acres of native drought-resistant grasslands to plant wheat – a hot commodity at the time. Throw in a couple of years of drought, and the fields were left bare – perfect conditions for massive dust storms. These dust storms created their own destructive weather patterns for years. As I drive down the country roads of western Racine County, I see more corn planted than I remember in my youth. Are farmers growing more corn to meet the demand for ethanol? Could we be facing a similar demise if we have an extended period drought? Is ethanol a good alternative fuel? Why or why not? |
