I live on the east side of town and frequently drive through the Hillside Drive roundabout. There is an irrigation system around the roundabout which seems like a terrible waste of money and water by the city. This is particularly true when the sprinklers are working despite the ample rain of the last few months. Also, if you drive through the roundabout around 8pm you will notice that the sprinklers in the north east corner of the roundabout spray out over the traffic lane which is an additional waste of water all to keep a little bit of grass green. I think the city should have landscaped this and all other roundabouts using native and drought tolerant plants and little if any grass so that money and water are not wasted keeping the area green.

City of Bloomington Utilities: I went there and was not quite sure what to do. There was some confusion as to my new address and what fees there were. They were very helpful and polite. I was very thankful they took the time to help sort things out with me.

Curtis [Gilstrap] (not sure about the last name) was so helpful when I visited Rose Hill Cemetery last Wednesday (31 July). I knew the section numbers, but not the plot numbers for several family members. He stopped to ask if he could help. He located the plot numbers for me, directed me to them, cleaned some mold off one of the stones, took a picture for me--I had my camera, but to get a proper picture I would have needed to get down on my hands and knees, no longer possible for me! I also learned a great deal about the cemetery and its inhabitants. I don't think I told him how well-kept the cemetery is. He really seemed to care about the cemetery and its visitors and inhabitants. Please thank him again for me. Sheryn Peters

I have been informed that the walking tour guide for Rose Hill Cemetery is a City of Bloomington publication, so I wish to report an error in it. The WWI statue in the cemetery is illustrated and described as Viquesney's "Spirit of the [American] Doughboy". It isn't. Attached is a photo comparing the two. The brochure is probably confusing the cemetery statue with the WWII Viquesney "Spirit of the Fighting Yank" in front of Monroe County Courthouse in Bloomington.

Have spoken with the Urban Forester, Lee Huss, and reported that, most unfortunately, the old sugar maple at the NE corner of my property appears to have died. The entire canopy of leaves has gone brown and is falling, the trunk and root base is shedding bark, and small to medium sized limbs are starting to fall. This tree is a city tree so I would like to begin the process of having it put in the schedule for removal (of course, after final confirmation of its apparent demise). I am concerned about the impact any fall storms and winter snowstorms will have on the dead limbs and trunks that are just above my home and bedroom. The address is 1115 W. 6th St. BTW, might also have a look at its twin maple, on the NW corner of the property too. It hasn't gone brown, but continues to loose limbs and appears to be in decline(?). Thank you, Jens Ksander

The fraternity Phi Gamma Delta has been playing very loud music all afternoon and evening, and it is easily heard inside nearby buildings. I don't know if this is a city issue or a university issue, but I know that uReports are an effective tool in general, and was hoping I could be directed to the right place.

I am writing to sincerely apologize to the parking department for a nasty letter I included in the envelope I used to pay my parking ticket. I wrote the letter very angry over the ticket but have come to realize that the violation was strictly my fault and that there is no reason to be so angry over a twenty dollar parking ticket anyway. In contrast to what I angrily wrote on the letter, I LOVE the city of Bloomington and have been honored to study in this great college town for the last three years, and there is no doubt I will come back many times after I graduate this December. I don't know if you have received my parking ticket check and nasty letter, but please disregard the letter itself as none of what I wrote is really my opinion. Again, I sincerely apologize.
