Bad Weather

Hey folks, use the weather radar link to take a look at what is coming. TV says a tornado watch is out until midnight.

I think we could use the rain but, not all at once. One good thing is that the rain the weather people have been saying for the last seven days is really here today.

Keep an eye to the sky this evening.

Looks Like There Are Clearing The Tree's

Just wanted to put an update on the Motel. I saw today that Mr. Crull had a lot of heavy equipment at the site of the soon to be coming I hope, motel site. They took out tree's and shrubs in this area. Looks like they are smoothing out the land.

I did see an article in the Janesville paper on the this issue. Hope things work out.

POT HOLES- PLEASE FIX

Can someone please fill in the holes now. The weather has been real nice and above the 32 degree mark now for a while. I know that the weather causes problems every year (we do live in Wisconsin) but, please patch them up soon. We need to save our cars from the front end alignments and other things. West Main and Second street has to be the worst. Thanks.

Motel Coming to Evansville?

Yes, after all these years the word on the street is a motel is going up next to Romano's Restaurant on Union St. The word is the owner of the Citgo Station is going to start building this year.

This will be a nice addition to the landscape in this area. The site use to be the location of Cornwell Welding shop back in the old days. It is right on the curve. It will be nice to have a place for people that come from out of town for weddings and other functions to stay at instead of having to go out of town. I don't know what the Motel will have to offer like a pool or fitness area at this time but, when I hear I will let ya know.

It's great to have business's investing in Evansville.

Curriculum Coordinator?

A Curriculum Coordinator position was listed on a document at the last school board meeting. It was put with some other teaching positions that the board approved. Why was this put on the same document? Does our District Administrator want to add this AGAIN. I thought the school board made this perfectly clear a few years ago that it was not needed. The principals could take over the job.

One would think that the curriculum would be made up by the teacher right? Does our district really need another administrative position added for some $70,ooo and that is only part-time the document said? How many new hire teachers could be added for the price of another administrator? Could this money be used elsewhere? One must remember that this administrative position is a reoccurring cost every year!

Mr. Woulfe talks about this as a potential school board member too.

What do you think?

Main Street Is Going To See A Face Lift

April 2ND I hear is the date that Main St. from First to Madison St will start to be tore up. The road is going to be taken out and some initial work done. After that the Main St from Madison to the Bridge will be tore up. They are going to remove the bricks that are underneath the road now and they will be recycled and used for the new brick street that is coming.

After some initial work they will come back and start to take out the sidewalks and everything else right up to the business's front doors. It sounds like it is going to look real nice when all is done. If you have not seen the plans you should stop at city hall and take a look.

I hope everyone will continue to support our local business's downtown while the construction project is going on. It is so important to help them out.

Election for School Board Almost Here

April 3rd is the big day to get out and vote. I hope you will support Richard Woulfe and Milissa Hamman. I have said and believed for some time that they are the right people to help us the public, on the school board.

I hope you have read the views of these two in this weeks Evansville Review. I think they have taken the right approach to the important issue's before all of us.

Please be sure to vote.
