I went to the Police Headquarters on 3rd Street to obtain a police report regarding an accident Thursday the 9th. The woman who was working was very helpful and pleasant. Earlier this year I went to another city facility and they were very helpful as well. I am very happy and pleased to know that Bloomington employs such great people with very pleasant attitudes, which I know can be difficult with us college kids.

She said that is greatest number of deer she has seen in her neighborhood at one time and she found it unsettling. She advised that she did not want a call back, but wants "someone to do something." I did not speak to Dukes directly; instead, this concern was relayed to me from another City department.

Good Morning, My name is Barb. I'm an after school counselor and on my free time I volunteer for a local girl scout troop. Recently the girls have been looking for fun winter craft ideas and found your page (http://bloomington.in.gov/documents/viewDocument.php?document_id=530) to be a helpful resource. Moriah, one of our girl scouts that just joined the troop found a comprehensive guide on knots (http://outdoorlife.answers.com/knots/strong-knots-to-know-for-camping) that covers information from securing your tent to tying bandages; would you mind adding it to your page for her? It covers information not found on your page and I'd love to welcome her by showing that her hard work is paying off. Shoot me an email if you get a chance to update and thanks again. :) Enjoy the rest of your week! -Barb

Worsening pothole as coming into Blue Ridge from N. Walnut.
My daughters basketball team was in town the 7th thru the 9th and stayed at the Americas Best Inn on Walnut. Sad to say that in one of the rooms we had a bed bug on one of the girls while she was laying in bed. Room 215. The manager/owner insisted it wasn't a bed bug blah, blah, blah, but we feel confident that it was. Another team staying their reported to us that they also had bed bugs, but I do not know if they contacted the hotel or not nor do I know the room number. I just wanted to pass this on. Hopefully you can send someone in to inspect further before it becomes a bigger issue.
While dining at Mother Bears on 7th St on 2/8, one of our players parked next door where they shouldn't have. Her car was towed to carls on 3170 Walnut. Although our young lady was guilty for parking in the wrong location, my complaint is that this business is charging $140 for the towing of a vehicle a few miles and charging $140 and ONLY WILL ACCEPT CASH. Doesn't seem too legit to me. Wonder where and if that cash is being reported??? This gives the town of Bloomington a big black eye.
How do I find out what regulations may govern a fence I'd like to build to keep deer out of my gardens?
I live off of Gifford Road and Curry Pike and each time there has been snow, it seems like the snow plows and salt truck miss are area especially Gifford Road. Prefect example was yesterday and today no signs of it being plowed or salted. Will any one be plowing and salting roads today?
