difficulty locating information on the web
Harold Evans e-mailed the department: this morning I read about one of your program offers in our local newspaper. Since I'm interested in water distribution in our city, I thought this tour of the many historical water sources in Bloomington could be worthwhile. The article directs us to sign up for this tour at our city website. There is no mention anywhere on that site about this particular event and many attempts to search for it were fruitless. I then contacted someone in your department by phone who didn't know anything about the event either. It seems to me that the signup process for events like this is so difficult that I really don't see how a sufficient number of people would ever be able to register in order to make the tour happen. If this is how you run your activity offers, I can see why you might look good to the city managers, but in fact, not be doing anything worthwhile at all. The way you are running your department, Mr. Renneisen, is a joke. It looks like this is another example of how our tax money is wasted on worthless politicians. Have a good and QUIET day.

I took my son for youth video program at Rhino's around 3:30. There were only 3-4 teenagers and the instructor told us to wait a little bit because of their broken door or something. I didn't notice what was the problem. Then he came out from his office and told us about their video program. He said that basically kids borrow cameras and go home or somewhere and do their video project. And I left my son there. right before 6:00 pm I came back to pick him up and my son was sitting on the couch. I asked how the program was and he said they didn't do anything for those 2.5 hours. I couldn't believe him and kept asking questions. he said those teenagers played video games for 2.5 hours and he just watched them. When he said that I remembered that the instructor mentioned to me that "those kids come here to play video games." I know this is a free program, but I have seen many wonderful free programs throughout the country. I was so regretted that your official website has false advertisement. You really should take out that ad from your website.
Training for Indy Monumental Marathon and running lots! The Bloomington B-Line and Rail Trail and Clear Creek trails are AWESOME!! As I always do, this am I start at Hillside and S. Lincoln, run west on Hilside across Walnut until where Hillside dead ends. run south and this street deadends. There is a pat through the woods that picks up old rail line. run west into the former railyard. run across this area passing over the soon to be completed new B-Line and pick up what I call the rail trail but not certain if technically this is the rail trail. This continues until Country Club. Cross Country Club and am on the official Rail Trail. This am, a private security vehicle and 2 guys stopped me as I came out of the wooded trail and was about to cross Country Club. They said I had been trespassing on CSX land. What is the deal? Where exactly is CSX property and where is it ok to run?
Complaint regarding smoking near TLRC
Submitted on 11/11/10 by Sonya Thompson sonya727@yahoo.com: My husband and I are members at Twin Lakes Recreation Center. It is very nice, well maintained, and much cleaner under the Park and Rec than as Sportsplex. The equipment is great and each time I have had a questions, I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. That being said, I want to tell you about 11/6/10. My husband went to workout and there was a basketball league or tournament going on late in the afternoon. A group of men were standing directly in front of the doors and had absolutely no consideration about smoking there. I want there on Sunday morning and the entire front walk was strewn with cigarette butts. This is absolutely disgusting! Smoking should not be allowed on the premises and if smokers choose to smoke, they should have to do so in their cars or completely removed from the property. This is a health facility with youth programs and the city should do more to protect the rights of non-smokers and further uphold the strict non-smoking policies of our city. Thank you for your attention to my concerns.
Line of sight -- can't see traffic that is going west on Hillside because of weeds.
