On Radioisotope maker moves $4.6 million closer to start

They're building linear accelerators/cyclotrons for high energy bombardment to create medical isotopes. A requirement was that the site needed to include access to a certain capacity and quality of energy substation, with easy access to I-90 and I-43. Beloit had a modern substation, with plenty of capacity in place, coupled with cheap land - ready to build. And friends in Madison. Result = Winner.

"Q: What e-book readers will let me take out digital loans from local libraries?

"A: The answer boils down to "anything but the Kindle." Amazon's e-reader has many virtues, but compatibility with e-book library loans is not one of them. Amazon has yet to add the necessary software. "

On Casino in works for Beloit?

This project's been in the works since 1997. And this is just a new iteration on that same theme.

Though, I have zero interest in gambling, this needs to get done.

Keep repeating to the powers that be... "Shovel ready, shovel ready..."

On Vendors questioning Farmers Market rejections

Downtown Beloit Farmers Market Pre-season Sale is 8 to 1 on Saturdays through the month of May. It's in the parking lot next to local foods market, Bushel & Peck’s on the corner of State & Grand in the heart of downtown Beloit.

The regular Farmer's Market selling begins the first Saturday in June and runs through October.

(That first Saturday in June is also the annual "Carp Fest" fishing festival along the Rock River in Beloit. On a good day, it's hard to believe how many people show up for this; the river is crowded with fisherman at the crack of dawn!)
