School

I am still wondering why we are not thinking about putting the junior high on to the high school there is room. Also why move the high school if you are going to keep the by just figure out away to use the existing grounds and there should.be no need for 30 acres. I think there needs to be more discussion

Is anyone missing a small cat with a blue harness? Its been hiding underneath my porch. It's not the person that has already posted something on this site. This is a small cat.

Comments on Trapping

I was just out for a walk on the nature trail, they are not doing any trapping to relocate anything. The city is trapping to kill. Plus I didn't notice any trap to get rid of the true nuisance, the geese. My question is they are trapping regulated fur bearer animals out of season. Did they get their special permit from DNR, just because it's a city trapping doesn't mean they can break the law.

School article

Dave,

I enjoyed reading your write up this morning, but I think one thing needs to be added. According to statistics from the Peoria Journal Star in regards to Midland school, we can build two small schools on our current properties less expensive and saving our current gyms. There would also be savings to the tax payer than one large school. This is a VERY IMPORTANT thing that needs to be in the article. The headline is a little misleading.

Sheila Healy

Editor reply: There was no intention to imply that it will cost more to build two buildings as compared to one. Thank you for the information.


Trapping

What type of trapping is the city doing, are they using snare, spring or live traps are children at risk. This notice was really vague? Especially since a lot of people use this trail, that don't use the internet or Minonk talk

Chad Fallon

Edmund Johnson: I heard they are trapping Beaver up there. They are using live traps and relocating them. I've also heard there are a lot of skunks in that town also. If I ever went walking out there I would be worried that they would have a skunk in a beaver in the same trap.
