Nothing urgent, but I walk past the lawn at City Hall each day and see ways that it could be "greener".
- The crews mow at a very low height. If grass is mowed higher the blades shade the soil, keeping the roots cooler and more healthy. It also keeps sunlight from hitting the soil, which prevents weed seeds from germinating, which reduces the need for pesticides.
- The crews remove the clippings. Using a mulching mower returns the clippings to the lawn system, reducing the need for fertilizer. It's also less work to not have to empty the mower bag.
- The grass was mowed yesterday. Today (Friday 5/18) much of the lawn has a silvery color to it. If you look at the grass blades in these areas you'll see that the tips are shredded instead of being cleanly cut. This means that the mower blade is so dull that it's ripping rather than cutting. The shredded grass blades are more susceptible to disease than cleanly cut ones.
Just my 2 cents, thanks for listening,
Rich Pierce

Someone painted a penis in yellow on the back window of my 1998 Chevy Cavalier and wrote "Call me maybe 812-339-2260" in red paint on the side window. There were also yellow penises painted on the windows of two other cars. One was a Honda SUV and the other was a BMW SUV.

I just passed Highway 46 and Walnut. As Walnut comes into town (near McDonalds on the North side) the street lanes are being painted. The painting on Walnut is crazy as there is a giant unused space that will not be used by motorist. They will instead do as they are today and use this area to expedite there dirve to the turn lanes. Someone needs to check this out ASAP.

I was wondering where I could get a street map of the entire Monroe County? If you know where or how I can get one please let me know.
