[RP TownTalk] Nets at the Field of Dreams were up again

[ABragg7393 at aol.com]

I just want to inform Bruce and Jim that it takes more than 5 to 10 minutes 
 for me to lower those nets with help from Corey.  It would have been very  
easy if we had a knife, but unfortunately we did not.  I love how people  
just assume how easy something is that they have never done.
The nets used on the field are in violation of the Migratory Bird  Act.  It 
has nothing to do about whether one cares about wildlife or  not.  
The nets have no benefit to the town in general.  The nets benefit the  
team playing on the field and the neighbors on the end of the field.  If  the 
team wants to play ball on that field, then they should be responsible for  
taking the nets down.  Simple..
I said before that I don't mind going over and doing the nets, but what  
happens when I am not around or get sick... who will do it then? 
Please, I ask the town to make sure the team knows what the rules are and  
follows the rules or gets their permit pulled.  Or, more simply let's just  
get rid of the nets and the ball field and replace it with a pine bark 
walking  trail and meditation garden.  A nice quiet place for birds and  
people....with just the whistle of the train now and then.

Bruce,
I really look forward to times like these when the stars  align and I can 
finally agree with you on something.  

Thanks,

Jim Coleman

It would take ~5-10 minutes to drop the nets.  If you truly  care about the 
wildlife, if the nets are up, take them down.  It's not  someone elses 
responsibility to protect the innocent.  It's up to each  and every one of us.  
If you saw a small child running around on East  West Highway, would you 
stop your car and take it to safety or  would you just drive by?  From where I 
sit, this situation is no  different.   
We live in Riverdale.  This is our Town.  Since it belongs to  us, it's our 
reponsibility to take care things like this from time to  time.  The amount 
of time taken to write these "it's someone  else's responsibility" emails 
could have been used more productively to  take down the nets. 
Bruce
