  1. I can't wait for this roundabout, it's going to be great. Just remember for everyone to have a nice experience with the roundabout, everyone has to obey the 15 mph speed limit approaching and going through the roundabouts. I see people entering the Silhavy circle driving west from Route 49 easily going 30 mph through the roundabout even though the posted speed limit is 15.

    They think that since they just have a slight jog to go through instead of the full circle, that they can just fly through it. And the cars in back of the leader try to play follow the leader so they don't have to slow down either. The city could fill the coffers writing speeding tickets for these reckless drivers.

  2. The water prior to getting the softener was actually causing skin problems. I was getting some form of dermatitis where I would break out into rashes from valpo water. I had to start using Dreft on my clothes because the clothes were making me break out, and I was using Dove sensitive bodywash in the shower. I must have sensitive skin because I don't know of anyone else that was having this problem, but the minerals in the hard water were really doing a number on my skin.

    Since I got the water softener I have not broken out with a rash and am back to using regular laundry detergent and bodywash. The fact that I don't have all the nasty hard water stains everywhere is just a bonus.

  3. Prepare to pay double. Mine is already $70 per month. $130-$140 is going to take a bite out of my budget. I'm sure it's already a done deal but it will take at least 5 to 10 years to get the pipeline and upgraded treatment plant constructed.

    Just get a water softener. I finally made the plunge last year on a nice two tank Ecowater softener. Five 40 lb bags (about $20 total) of salt lasts about 6 months. I wish I would have done it sooner.

  4. I think that I remember reading some of the study. It is available online somewhere. Basically it concluded that bringing Lake Michigan water to Valpo would cost residents nearly double on their monthly water bill.

  5. Everyone please slow down through the roundabouts. It seems that people are making a game out of how fast they can speed through them. Obey the 15 mph posted speed limit and it works out better for everyone.

  6. I thought about this too. People have mentioned that one of the main reasons valpo doesn't have Lake Michigan water is because of a federal law that prohibits Lake Michigan water from crossing different delineated watersheds. The far east and southeast areas of valpo are in the kankakee watershed. I would imagine from an engineering standpoint, it is just a matter of ensuring that water that ends up in city sewers is reclaimed, treated and discharged on the Lake Michigan watershed.

  7. Just wait a few years and Pence will start screaming about a deficit and how it's the teachers' and unions' fault, totally ignoring the fact that it will be the result of his tax cuts. We have our very own Scott Walker in Indiana.

    Thanks for nothing voters!

  10. Provided yes, that answers all of my questions. She was arrested once in 2011 for confinement and intimidation. Is this mugshot picture shown from the prior charges in 2011, or was it taken after they caught her after her "fleeing". Was she even caught after fleeing or is she still on the run? I should not have to fill in the blanks on my own after reading a news story.
