My congratulations to the Radermachers, too. I didn’t even know there was a Minnesota grocers hall of fame, but I'm sure the Jordan family belongs there.

Congratulations to the

Today, there were five "other" votes, so I checked to see what you all filled into the blank. You wrote:

- nothing;
- the end;
- live music;
- the freakishly large animals;
- and fun with family.

Ha! Yep, probably.

By the way, we had a nice turnout for coffee hour this morning. About 30 people came to talk and eat our doughnuts. And we even have a few leftovers.

It was fun. Thanks for coming, everyone.

Mathias Baden — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:32:33 -0500

Jim certainly represented the county fair very well this morning (I was at the kickoff breakfast), and the accidental loudness of the speakers, which probably broadcast Jim's voice to who knows how many listeners, ought to raise awareness of the event. It did seem like there was a point at which a radio technician whispered to a fair board member, asking if it would be OK to turn down the speakers. But why not get a little publicity?

Being held accountable for even the smallest of miswritten items is extremely important to the credibility of your local newspaper, so thank you, swansonmej. You and others like you greatly assist the JI in building trust among its readers.

Anyone listen to WCCO at the scott co. fair this morning? There were times where I couldn't tell the difference between Mike Lynch's voice and Jim Terwedo's.

I would think that high of coverage on WCCO should help out attendance.

Thanks for the correction.

The Scott County Fair is

The Scott County Fair is July 23-27. It says June in the article above.

It was sort of a mystifying

Mathias Baden — Fri, 23 May 2008 10:52:08 -0500

It was sort of a mystifying story, actually. That's why I quoted it instead of paraphrasing. The story was definitely intriguing, though, and it raises a lot of questions in my mind, too.

Hypothetically, cities could control the space and locations that are available for certain kinds of businesses through the zoning of land in their comprehensive plans. A lot of forces are at work when a large business comes to town. Businesses like Wal-Mart, for example, could buy land that is outside of the city limits and then exercise influence to get the land annexed to the city. It's difficult for that kind of development to be stopped and thus for competition to be limited.

There ought to be a public hearing before any changes to the city code. I'm assuming that Belle Plaine followed that process, as cities usually do. Unfortunately, my copy of the Herald has disappeared, so I can't answer for certain.

Was there a public hearing

Was there a public hearing held prior to approving the amendment?
