Kimm,
The larger point is not nonsense, Kimm. It's quite reasonable to
investigate it and discuss it.
What is nonsense, is calling something "poison" without knowing what it
is. You probably wouldn't send your child to build mudpies in your
backyard compost heap either, but that doesn't warrant calling it
"poison". That's a loaded word that is improperly and deceptively
applied in this discussion.
Let's first find out what it is. I look forward to seeing you at the
annual General Meeting of FoCP on Wednesday, Oct. 21. If you and others
develop practical, fact-based information on groundskeeping that can be
applied to an urban green space, there's no reason you can't work
through FoCP.

I don't think it's nonsense, Tony. In this day and age, chemical
fertilizers and pesticides are pretty widely viewed as pretty backwards.
Given Mayor Nutter's emphasis on being green, I think the issue of what
chemicals are being pumped into Clark and other parks is an entirely valid
one for public discussion - not just for safety of kids and pets but for
broader ecological reasons.
If FOCP were to take up this battle, I might even be lured to get involved.
Really, I can't see why you're so dismissive of the issue.
Kimm
