To whom it may concern: I was dismayed to read in this morning's hotline that roundup is used in our parks and around our trails. Yes, this is the roundup civilians can buy in stores; however, that does not mean it is safe. I thought Bloomington was a progressive place on the cutting edge of environmental concerns - apparently not. Any amount of poison applied to our earth is dangerous to people and animals, among others. And when we have rains, the roundup runs off into our water systems. Look at all of the drains on streets which sport little stickers saying don't put any hazardous materials down the drains. Well, you are. Let's think about the big picture. What is more important - having a safe environment in which we can be on the grass, drink safe water, etc. or getting rid of a few weeds, which, by the way, are also part of our creation. I know there are invasive weeds, but surely there are safer ways to eradicate them than by spraying them with poison that is hazardous to everything. You say you have professionals applying these poisons - I don't believe that makes the substance any safer. I hope you will consult various organic farmers and landscapers in the area for advice before applying any more roundup. Thank you. Anne Fraker

Last year after the city paved the small area where the picnic table are located at Ferguson Dog Park, it created a run off area that has since turned into a permanent mud/dog pee pit. All dog owners try to keep their dogs out of it because of how gross it is. It's not very big and could easily be filled with a wheelbarrow full of gravel. Can you please fix this so people can enjoy the park more? Thanks so much!

Our Toyota Sienna mini-van broke down in Olcott Park this morning (Sunday, September 7). It took us several hours to determine that it is the water pump, and the van isn't worth fixing. We will make arrangements for it to be towed tomorrow morning, but are hoping to avoid a ticket for having it parked there overnight. Hope this is ok! We will also report the stranded vehicle to the police. Sincerely, Emily Nehus & Scott Grieb, 602 E. Maxwell, Bloomington IN 47401

Limestone Rail Trail: Ms. Tilford walked the trail and reported barriers and no trespassing signs behind Dillman Treatment Plant. She asked if that area is private property. Farther south she said cows are grazing on the right-of-way. She asked if the Rail Trail Conservancy might be able to help. She is a member and trail supporter.
