Animal Control & Neglected Pets

Case Date:
8/19/2023

On August 18th at around 8:15pm, two female puppies at Rev Earnest D. Butler Park were roaming free without a collar. The two dogs then followed my dog and I back to my home. I then loaded the dogs in my car and drove back to the park area and surrounding streets in hopes of finding someone looking for two lost dogs, but I found no one. I then went to the Bloomington " Animal lost and found" Facebook page and discovered that these dogs were found loose on August 1st, 2023, and returned to the owner (no name provided on the post). I then posted about the found dogs on the facebook page last night, to which the alleged owner, Nicole Lynn Davis, replied the following day around 11am and requested I call her immediately so that she can retrieve them. I have contacted the owner, but she has yet to reply. The phone number she provided is 812-509-4809. Assuming the owner respondes, I am concerned that I will be returning these dogs back into the hands of neglectful and irresponsible owners. These dogs are afraid to leave my side and seemed very relieved upon allowing them into my home.

there seeems to be a strong anti-asian sediment within bloomington and i have felt racially discriminated against by having services denied or prolonged due to purposeful errors. I have heard social workers make comments such as "I hoped he'd leave "and tell others seeking services not to talk with me and ignore him. I came here after completing residential rehab at hickory treatment in linton. At centerstone after waiting for insurance approval, which was granted, I was told they felt I only need peer support- not the outpatient treatment that's always a follow up to inpatient and housing etc along side. I went to shalom where i was already on the national permanent supportive housing list for at list a year in Indiana but originally qualified do to homelessness in Kentucky. I also needed Photo i.d- cost of $11.50- without which i can do nothing. This was in january with it taking 3 weeks(notified them of return twice do to incomplete paperwork and then incorrect amount) for the check to be cut. On second week now waiting for check. As stated earlier i was already approved for housing on national list and been on local list for 3 months. I know people start fresh and already been housed and people lose their housing and get re-housed while I still at wheeler mission.This was at shalom center and I filed a complaint with the attorney general on the issued with my I.D At wheeler i get kinding blowed off. I went the food stamp office to get aid but my case worker there didnt send the fax correctly so my case was closed. Meanwhile I know that theres mostly donated so the food may switched up during serving but definately have gotten smaller portions and food that been grossly overcooked.As the only asian in this situation i have to say its definately discrimatory action at all three place-all verifiable. I really want to rally against these actions and my treatment- as homeless and an individual felt it would go unheard- Come to find out at IU there a group of medical students called MAPS i believe that are mostly asian and have felt discrimation in bloomington also. I only feel it fair to notify you as you may not even be aware and give you the oppertunity to correct the situation. I pray the you can react in a timely manner and contact me shortly with solutions on this matter. James Hale 812-671-8665

Just a few things that the city seems to be ignoring: why is there still a sign at Building Trades Park pointing to the now non-existent emergency department on Second Street? Why do Transit buses still post notices in August informing passengers that Sunday rides will be free in the spring of 2023? Why does transit have a display case downtown with the heading “Memories” that contains not traditional memories but legal notices? And why does the mayor still include a link for donations to his mayoral campaign in his monthly Let’s Keep in Touch emails?

Nathan Dahm is seeking to end asymmetric post cold war Chinese %10 import Chemical Psychological warfare. I hope the city is making note of the court cases and or pending up coming legislation. More so after city employee David Parkhurst responded to my petitions as unfounded stating such water treatments standards are harmless and there is no difference between Calcium v/s Sodium fluoride. But then again he is amoung the fools who supported Huston South Project 2,154 acres of herbicide in the water shed for Lake Monroe

Sudbury Dr, Bloomington, IN 47403, USA

Case Date:
9/11/2023

The trees along Sudbury drive need to be trimmed. The branches hang down so low, you have to drive your car down the middle of the street to keep from having the limbs scrape your car. The north side of the street is especially bad. Also, no one takes care of the grass on either side of Sudbury beyond the Millenium apartments and the office park.

Three weeks ago, I was riding my bike west on 7th St in the bicycle lane as a car entered from Indiana Ave into the bike lane. I had to stop my bike and lift it over the curb to get around the car that was impeding both lanes of the bike lane. This is not my first experience with cars in the 7th St bike lane. Please install a post or bollard at the protected bicycle lane entrances to discourage cars from entering it. This is a simple, easy to install, and low cost solution. I don't understand why it wasn't installed in the first place.
