Comment on Hack Chat with Tracy Sachtjen, Fifth Player of the USA Women’s Olympic Curling Team by Nichol Nelson

Hi Tracy,
The opening ceremonies were amazing. Good luck to you and your team this coming week. I came upon your blog because I have the word Pringles on a Google Alert; I am an inventor and have submitted a product to P&G for Pringles. It is great that P&G are such big supporters. I was also contacted Thursday by one of the Olympic Ski Team moms because she wanted to make 25 personalized flags for the friends and family of her daughter who will be competing on Feb 24th and 26th. Custom flags would have taken too long to order and I have a product called Create-A-Flag that lets anyone design and print their very own custom fabric flag right at home using any Inkjet printer in minutes. I am really honored that my product is going to be used at the Olympics for all to see. The kits come complete with an 8 1/2″ x 11″ printable fabric flag, sleeve and gold-speared flagpole. If you could spread the word they are available, that would be great; they are good for any sporting events. The United States Flag Store just put up really generous bulk pricing for the Olympics and they cost as little as $3.99 each. Just wanted to say hello, shamelessly plug my product and wish you the best of luck! It must be so exciting to be in the midst of all that competitive and positive energy. You can check out my flags here http://www.united-states-flag.com/create-a-flag-kit.html or see a demo at http://www.create-a-flag.com I’ll be watching and cheering for you and your team. Thanks Tracy!

Comment on Badger Contamination Has Reached Lake Wisconsin by Sally Forth

Why can’t the Army and WDNR get off their duffs and do their jobs of enforcement on this ongoing problem? This just didn’t happen and it is way past time for looking at each other! I am sooo glad that there is a local group that keeps the general public and communities informed of what IS happening in and around Badger for the last 20 years. Listening to the ‘officials’ tell the story is an irony.
Thanks Laura and members of CSWAB for being diligent with these very important issues and getting the word out!!!

It is very encouraging that important newspapers as Lody Valley News is taking into account the serious water contamination problem all those surrounding communities of the Badger Ammunition Plant are facing, publishing in detail all the facts of this long standing nightmare! Let´s hope the Army and relative Government authorities finally pay the necessary attention to overcome this catastrophic situation!

Dear Lodians, I am of the opinion that there just aren’t enough opinions anymore. I check the opinion page of this site every so often hoping for some sort of scuttlebut on this or that, but nothin’! Surely there must be some disgruntled individuals out there busting to ruffle some feathers! Speak, and speak loudly, I say! Get it off your chest! I, for one am ready to start scoffing again.

Comment on New On-Line Resource Tallies News Reports of CCW Killings by dale Lamminen

In that same two and a half years 30,000 people, including law enforcement officers, were killed by drunk drivers. Drivers that were given a State license to use a 2500 pound automobile to kill someone. Why don’t you pur things in the proper perspective? Of course your only objective is to eliminate private use of firearms for personal defense and you will use any snippet of data to justify that ebd.

Comment on Murder at St. Michaels by Marie

Thank you for the excellent article. There is so much that is unsaid about this murder. However, one has to ask, “What would be the motive? Who benefits?” The faithful need answers, but it looks like this case has “gone cold”.

Comment on In Search of Stewardship by Thankful

Wow, after reading all this I’m even more impressed with the Russlers and their gift. Also, WOW on the 20 million…where did that all go?
It really seems there are a lot of pertinent points here to explore and I hope someone does a follow-up story on this after talking with Mr Wollmer. Though I do believe he could’ve provided some nice information for us right here. I consider this forum to be a newspaper with instant access to comment (a bit better than a blog) where concerned local citizens can express their opinions freely and maybe come out on top by getting to the bottom of things!
Thanks to everyone caring about our natural resources, Lodi and free speech.

sad, sad state of affairs this is.
Reading this over, I can see why the Russlers feel ignored and stepped on. It would have been only polite for IATA to contact them before they put up a commercial “for sale” sign.

And Mr. Wollmer you appear very arrogent indeed with your “I’m too busy with your small town discussion” comment.

Respectfully, I find it tragic that the Executive Director of the IATA has chosen not to consider a public dialogue part of his job. Whether he is actually on the 1200 mile trail, or in fact blogging with concerned IATA supporters in the Lodi area who have just suddenly lost a significant IATA building, I would think that the tax payers of the $20.4 million that the IATA has been given would garner at least a consideration from him on the public forum for the situation. Apparently, this executive director thinks not. Why? Perhaps Rep. Baldwin thinks otherwise.

Respectfully, I am not hiding, my door is always open and my phone is as available as possible.
With almost 1200 miles of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail to attend to, I’m unable to spend any further time on this blog.

Please Mr. Wollmer, If there are untruthful and unfair comments being made in this forum reveal the truth and debate the unfairness. Don’t hide in your office, come join us on the information “Trail”

Comment on Sour Milk Market Ruining Farms by Thankful

THANK-YOU for caring about health and the environment by farming organically!
I think the organic markets are still growing and I would urge you to explore more on how you might be able to get premium price for all your organic milk.
It is certainly a shame to get paid less for a quality product.
Good luck.

“Is there a civic group that even wants the building? If so,they should contact the Alliance. That way we could have a storefront that is occupied but never open.”
WHAT? The IATA office was almost never open, and most folks in Lodi don’t even know that it is there. Why? It is not only because the Enterprise has deteriorated to the point that it wouldn’t even touch a controversial subject. Many people in Lodi spent about 2 years trying to figure out where a community center could be established…there was no money to be found and no place to put one. Not that this building could have been one, but there are many groups, including the Chamber that could love the idea of that building but are financially unable to consider the cost.
I see in Sunday’s State Journal that Rep. Baldwin has secured $20.4 million (yes, that’s twenty point four million dollars of our taxes!) for the IATA since 1999. I wonder if anyone has contacted her office? Seems like the asking prices here are a drop in the bucket, in comparison.
And, from my point of view, there’s nothing wrong with a public forum debate!

Good morning,

My name is Mike Wollmer, executive director of the Ice Age Trail Alliance. I am also a Lodi area resident.

I know many of the authors that have provided comments from their names. The others initials are not familiar to me.
There are many good questions asked in the previous comments. There are also very untruthful and unfair comments made.

While I chose to not debate this issue online, I am more than happy to talk with anyone directly. There don’t appear to be any questions that I would not answer.

I am in the office most days at 608-798-4453.
Thanks.

Comment on Babysitting Course by lisa

Do you offer or know of any babysitting classes being offered around the Lodi/Sauk area in September? My daughter turns 11 and has a babysitting job lined up as soon as she completes the certification. I looked into one in Verona but it costs $75.00 for out of district.HELP
