Praise to the development committee – (although I here they really didnt do much) but if the rumor is true I here John Deere building is sold to a manufacture from Rock Valley who is lookiing at expanding here in SHELDON!! So that is good news. Maybe the city or paper of SCDC should make some sort of announcement soon! But as usual everything is alwasy hush hush dont tell no one.

Also I heard from a very good source that Cat paid very little if anything at all for there land. City says it will recoup taxes. That is fine but then I here that certain lots if not all lots that are for commercial use went from like $25K an acre to $50K an acre over night. No one knows why but an inside source has said they need to recoup CAT’s land so pass it on to the little people.

This is lastest on the street. I havent heard this yet at the coffe shop!

The reason you can’t compare us to them is municipality.
Yes it does make that much difference.
We had the chance but the words of a few scared the uninformed into voting it down, and this is the pay back for it.

If you knew more about staffing agencies, you would find more people that like them. They don’t set the wages, the companies hiring through them do. There is insurance available to people, have you looked at it? Truth is, most people judge the staffing agency before they’ve tried looking at one. Most think they are too good for it, yet they struggle to find work????? Hmmm. It worked great for me! As most things in life, DONT knock it til you know what you’re truly talking or in your case JUDGING it.

Maybe I should I ask SCDC. I never really spoke with mark before but when I return for the winter maybe I should ask for a cup of coffee in the new coffee shop that I here is coming to the old tottsie location. Stay warm! Nice and sunny here!

I had morning coffee with a retired farmer from Sioux center this morning. He informed me interstates (not knowing much about the place) bought another building in there town for roughly $1 million, adding 50 new engineering jobs. That is something! He actually lives b/t OC and SC. He also said his son told him that Quartro (spelling) in oc is adding like 150 jobs. Thats impressive for a small town too.

I did here from back home that HyVee sold? That is good. Little by little progression.

Maybe america should stop relying on temporary staffing agencys to find a job! They are a joke..low pay, crappy insurance, no other benefits. To many companys around here now only hire through aventure or that other employment connections place so that way they dont have to pay the benefits for someone..what a crock of crap. there are good jobs in sheldon, and sometimes i seriously belive people wont hire based on qualifications but rather what your name is! The hospital also has very high insurance i have heard and low starting pay 8-10 an hour! More needs to be done to have better jobs, with benefits, and stop loosing people in Sheldon.
