This ordinance concerns me

This ordinance concerns me in that it is left to the discretion of the officer. What will an officer deem as a dangerous dog? Will it vary from officer to officer and day-to-day?

What if a person or child teases and beats on a dog and the dog responds -- is it the dog's fault?

Rather than take away the dog, how about issuing a ticket/fine. It is then left to the owner and not the police.

Glad to see that the city is

Glad to see that the city is considering an ordinance based on a case-by-case basis and not singling out a specific breed.

What happened to the concerts in the park? Do people still organize and perform those?

I have gone from County Road

Mathias Baden — Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:50:14 -0500

I have gone from County Road 8 to the falls. It's pretty fun. And during the art festival, I noticed that the rapids were moving pretty well behind the Mini-Met.

But I'm unsure of the rest of the route to the Minnesota River. Is the water high enough? Does it put me out into the middle of Louisville Swamp, where I'll get stuck and have to wade through muck to get home?

Someday, I'll try the whole Jason Allen run (minus going over the waterfall), but I might save it for next spring.

When was the last time you tubed the creek, Jason?

Wow. Props to the St. Benedict team for sticking close to the Brewers when they play. If I'm not mistaken, that's the second time the teams dueled in a tight game this season.

You want a good ride....take

Jason Allen — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:58:47 -0500

You want a good ride....take Sand Creek from County Road 8 to the Minnesota River. We used to do it all the time, just about 2 1/2 hours worth of riding......although the best rapids on the creek are behind the Mini Met.

Congratulations to Cameron

Congratulations to Cameron Boy

Hi Cameron,

I just learned today of your accomplishment in not only winning the state 200 meter dash but in also breaking my record. I am proud of the fact that my record stood as long as it did and I am equally proud that someone as hard working and dedicated to the sport as you are were the one to break it.
I try to keep tabs on how Jordan's track program is going and I have read and heard great things about you.
I wish you all the best and hope you continue to aspire to great things.
I also want to say congratulations to your coaches. I know that behind every champion there is a coach who has made personal sacrifices because they believe in their athletes.
Great way to finish a year Cameron, way to go!!!

Best regards,

Ken Rothenberger

He's man and human cyborg relations. Is there anything better?

Wow! Close game yesterday.

Congrats to both Cameron and Dad, way to bring home another State Championship for Jordan,

I ran the famous "Fat-Man's" relay back in the day of 1991, matter of fact, I was the anchor of the team, and boy do I mean the anchor. They actually timed our race with a sun dial. While Cam runs the 200 in 22 secs, I ran the 100 in 22 minutes.
