While working to improve the website I uploaded a Survey form to test it and the Subject was “Should we allow a Hazardous Watse site in Our County” Well The results of this Un-official survey was 31 People voted NO and 3 People voted YES. Now that I know this works We will using it more often. A new survey should be ready by tomorrow (Sunday)

RE Gays in Paxton
For some reason to comment box wont work for me so I am posting here to answer Citizen’s comment.Thanks for the posting. Now I get it. You are looking at this from the standpoint that the Business Did NOT offer these services to ANYONE so therefore should not be forced to offer them to gays or any other person. If that is the case you are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. But the Business did and still does offer Civil ceremonies and that is what I am referring to and why all the examples were listed in my previous post. click here and scroll towards the bottm of the page. http://www.timbercreekbb.com/weddings.htm. You can also see where they added the No Civil UNIONS as if thats different from a Civil Ceremony.And the turmoil could have been avoided entirely had it not been for Mr. Walden’s own comments.Quote”The co-owner of the Timber Creek B&B, Jim Walder, also wrote e-mails to Wathen citing various biblical verses and denouncing homosexuality as “wrong and unnatural,” adding that “we will never host same-sex weddings even if they become legal in Illinois.””If that is discrimination, I guess we unfortunately discriminate,” Walder wrote in correspondence provided to the Paxton Record by Wathen.” END QUOTEAs for a lawsuit for money I agree “gimme a break”. But I do think it is fair and sometimes necessary to file a complaint and try to resolve the Issue IF it can be resolved.Again thanx for taking the time to post. Your viewpoint is appreciated. Take care
Servicemens Memorial Sign
Here is an update for those who are wondering where the Flag went. We do have a Brand new Flag but we are going to replace the entire pulley and rope system. The Pulley has been cracked for years and the rope is also in bad shape. We are searching for replacements and hope to have everything done soon. Also we did replace the lite on the east side of the sign but it burnt out again for some reason. We are also planning some new landscaping this year to really spruce it up.
More Updates&Survey
There is only 7 hours left for the survey on whether you think we should have a Hazardous Waste Site in Ford county. You can vote on the Main Page HERE. We also added more Businesses and Shops to our Paxton Business Directory.

Gays In Paxton?
OMG I read that a Gay couple came to Paxton to have some sort of civic union???? Not sure I know what all the hubbub is so I exerciseed my constitutional right to google the gays…( sorry but I had to and seeing how there are no laws against it I did ) Anyway I found all sorts of gay webpages and all sorts of Not so gay webpages that talked about Gays (and gay webpages) After hours of dedicated research I have come up with the following list of attributes for these Gay people. According to google (and they know everything) Gays come in all shapes, sizes, genders, religious backgrounds,geographical regions, creeds, and colors. They are Celebrities, Office workers, Business owners, Veterans, and even Athletes ( there were 1million more pages in google so the list is probably longer You know how google is). Also they are known to be very civic oriented, Politically active and even donate to the United Way ( guess that would make them compassionate as well). One webpage even suggested that they pay thier bills on time and mow their yards meticulously and said that they pay all the usual taxes (even the new ones from Gov. Quinn). The real shocker came when I found out that these Gays are indeed “Human Beings” Yeah just like you and me ( that’s what google said and I believe google). Yes they are Human beings and I found out that many are very Religious people ( this is addition to the all the other positive attributes). So now I am really confused, what exactly is the problem again????? If these people are such an abomination they can move to my neighborhood and then me and my neighbors will be surrounded by responsible caring people who care about the community and have really cool looking lawns on which we can have some of those civil unions….And just for the Record I shop locally ALOT and I BOYCOTT BULL#&@T even more…
