<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV>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..</DIV>
<DIV>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? </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

<P>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. </P>

<P>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.</P>
