The bluff and other areas need to be planted with things that will snuff out the weeds. They are…Read More harmful to animals and possibly birds, of which there are many at atwater. Obviously not many animals but there are squirrels and rabbits and other native mammals. Not to mention the kids at the play area. Most adult humans can handle an occasional wiff of a pesticide but not children or animals. I have held several pesticide licenses in my day so I have had much course work on this. I am surprised the village has done this but I know restoration is about to begin - again - on the bluff and perhaps they are trying to rid the bluff of all the weeds. It is a shame that the 15+ kids they hire every year can't be up there weeding instead. I don't know what else they could be doing as the village has reduced the amount of annual flower beds that need to be maintained.

The liberal minded Patch had it going their way for some time.
Then, the contrary opinions became a…Read More "voice to be heard".
So, like all liberal media, just shut down the "free speech".
Speech that educates the people is a NO-NO in the world of "public education". Have no fear, other avenues to educate the public is on the way.

Wow, PaulRevere, AKA the hardest working person in America, who only takes 1 day per month off and…Read More who believes all evil is related to public schooling, has time to not only comment on St. Louis area Patch sites, but on Milwaukee area sites as well? Paul, perhaps you should go back to school to check your grammar--other avenues to educate the public ARE on the way, not IS on the way. Oh, you must be too busy working 20 hours a day (but finding tons of time to comment on several Patch sites) to check grammar

Are you assuming we're stupid Steve? Don't.
BTW -- you called yourselves Tea Baggers. We're only…Read More using the term you selected. What a great PR roll-up for this group of Neanderthals.
You're problem with that any fister reference is usually the speaker feels it is where his head should be.

I think if you look at most of the sites still running the older version, you'll see the same…Read More messages of impending doom we got just before the change...

I got the name wrong, it was "Bellmore", not Belmont. It was part of rollout of what at…Read More the time was being referred to as "Patch 2.0" in the press. It was rolled out to five towns in the Long Island, NY area in September of last year. I'm going to attempt to post a link to an article::

I think that's true, Bob. I poked around at a number of Patch sites around the country and the 'Welcome to the New Patch' articles were full of the same complaints we are seeing here.

This Patch redesign seems to be the 'New Coke' of websites...
