On Kindergarten to be made mandatory

Does anyone know if this means that the compulsory school age will change to 5 instead of 6 as it is currently? I'm guessing it would mean this.

On Two found dead on Janesville’s north side

Posted on July 8 at 9:13 a.m. ( Suggest removal )

I heard from a neighbor that it might be carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning and that citizens shouldn't be worried about "a killer on the loose" or anything like that. Again, my heart goes out to the family members of this couple.

First of all my condolences to the family of this couple. Secondly, I live fairly close to the street where this happened and I wondered where the emergency vehicles where headed when I heard the sirens. Thirdly and oddly my 5 y.o. daughter was outside playing with the neighbor girl when she came in crying that "the strangers" driving by scared her. That was at appox. 8:08. I was watching the car traffic right around that time and I noticed a silver van and then a white van driving slowly down our street. My daughter confirmed that those cars or one of them was the one that scared her.
I hope what my daughter was upset about had nothing to do with this couple's death.


On Dean Health to lay off 90

My thoughts and prayers go out to those who are losing their jobs.
A little off the topic, but keep your eye on Lab Safety today and in the upcoming days. Job losses are expected there as well.


On Black History reading

Posted on February 24 at 12:03 p.m. ( Suggest removal )

Some of my favorite books were:

_Brown Girl, Brownstones_ by Paule Marshall
_The Autobiography of An Ex-Coloured Man_ by James Weldon Johnson
_Their Eyes Were Watching God_by Zora Neale Hurston
_The Color Purple_ by Alice Walker

When I was in high school (about 17 years ago) we did not read any literature from black authors, as far as I remember. I was introduced to these wonderful works when I was in college.
