Description
On this week's episode of Bloomington Today, blue ribbon baker Marjorie Johnson bakes with Mayor Winstead, we'll take a look at how inspectors ensure area playgrounds are safe, and announce the recipients of grant money to start up a community garden.

I
guess,
and-
and
you
know
what
I
tell
people-
that
if
they
read
the
directions
and
the
only
thing
they
have
to
measure
accurately
once
you
put
the
flour
in
you,
take
the
knife
and
or
spatula
and
everything
is
level
and
then
everything
will
turn
out
perfect
because
they'd
run
a
blue
ribbon.
It's
all
balanced,
there's,
no
reason
why
it
couldn't
be
perfect.
The
first
time
we.
A
Marjorie
had
copies
of
her
cookbook
the
road
to
blue
ribbon
baking
with
margaery
available
for
purchase
and
autograph.
It
was
president
john
f
kennedy
that
began
the
tradition
of
setting
aside
the
month
of
may
in
honor
of
our
country's
older
americans
back
in
1963
every
president.
Since
then
has
continued
the
great
tradition
on
a
given
day.
There
can
be
dozens
of
children
taking
their
turns
on
the
monkey
bars
or
swings
at
area
playgrounds
at
the
city
of
bloomington.
We
take
playground
safety
seriously.
A
Playgrounds
are
meant
to
be
run
on,
jumped
on
and
expected
to
withstand
the
inevitable
rough
housing
that
will
occur
on
them.
The
six
certified
playground
safety
inspectors
on
staff,
embraced
that
fact,
while
making
it
their
personal
goals
to
keep
all
54
of
bloomington's
playgrounds
as
safe
as
possible.
D
D
We
want
to
protect
those
children
and
give
them
a
challenging
but
safe
environment
in
which
to
play.
The
second
thing
that
is
important
is
the
city's
liability
related
to
playgrounds
and
potential
playground
injuries,
and
we
certainly
want
to
do
everything
we
can
to
minimize
that
that
liability
should
a
child
be
injured.
So
if
we
have
safe
playgrounds,
hopefully
both
of
those
things
will
be
accomplished.
A
D
We
have
those
inspectors
that
are
out
there
checking
things
all
of
the
time
we're
taking
calls
from
residents
if
they
notice
anything.
You
know
we're.
We
want
people
to
to
feel
comfortable,
letting
us
know,
and
I
think
that
over
those
30-plus
years
we're
very
fortunate
in
saying
we
have
not
had
any
serious
injuries,
in
other
words,
injuries
serious
enough
that
it
might
have
caused
the
lawsuit
or
something
like
that
to
happen,
and
and
certainly
the
liability
of
the
city
is
important.
A
All
new
playground
equipment
installed
in
our
parks
goes
through
a
rigorous
playground.
Safety
audit
and
the
playground
at
westwood
elementary
school
underwent
that
safety
audit.
Just
a
few
weeks
ago,
a
playground
inspector
will
first
inspect
the
scene
for
obvious
problems
like
broken
glass,
trash
and
ruined
equipment.
E
Look
down
look
up,
I
like
to
use
these
gauges
and
probes
here
and
check
openings
and
the
what
we're
looking
for
is
head
entrapments
when
I
use
these
anything
that
a
little
kid
can
get
into
and
not
get
out
of.
So
you
want
to
make
sure
that
this
torso
probe,
if
it
fits
through
an
opening
with
50
pounds
of
pressure
or
less
that
this
head
probe,
can
follow.
E
Here's
an
example
and
it's
it
can
be
deceiving.
You
know
you
got
to
be
able
to
check
any
opening
you
have
so
if
this
goes
through,
this
has
to
go
through
and
it
does
pass
cleanly
through
there
same
with
this
cargo
net.
Some
of
our
playgrounds
have
smaller
cargo
nets,
real
firm,
cable
inside
when
you're
hanging
by
one
it's
made
to
hold
its
shape
or
even
can
constrict
on
you.
So
again,
if
the
torso
probe
goes
through,
the
head
probe
must
follow.
F
A
We
brought
you
news
a
few
weeks
back
about
funds
available
for
community
gardens
just
starting
out.
Bloomington
public
health
has
teamed
up
with
the
non-profit
organization,
gardening
matters
and
they're
happy
to
announce
eight
organizations
in
bloomington,
edina
and
richfield
that
are
the
recipients
of
more
than
14
thousand
dollars
in
grants.
Thanks
to
the
statewide
health
improvement
program,
also
known
as
ship.
A
The
organizations
had
to
agree
to
reach
out
to
those
in
need
by
donating
20
of
what
is
grown
to
food
shelves
or
other
local
organizations
that
target
low-income
people
that
may
be
at
risk
for
chronic
disease.
The
hope
is
that
this
small
investment
in
infrastructure
will
yield
big
outcomes
for
individuals
and
community
health
for
years
to
come.
If
you'd
like
to
get
involved
with
one
of
the
eight
community
gardens,
please

gardening
matters
at

A
A
A
I
The
event
is
part
of
sort
of
midpoint
of
world
war
ii
when
the
nazis
became
aggressive
and
trying
to
round
up
all
jews,
which
previously
they
may
not
have
had
bothered
with
and
send
them
to
concentration
camps,
and
this
was
true
in
denmark.
Denmark
had
been
occupied
by
the
nazis
since
1940
and
it
was
fairly
benign
occupation
because
nazis
needed
denmark,
agricultural
and
seafood
production.
J
A
Wow
well
to
spread
some
awareness
about.
You
know
this
is
an
awesome
event
that
that
took
place
and
to
educate
people
about
boatlift
1943,
the
city
of
bloomington.
The
human
rights
commission
has
teamed
up
with
the
bloomington
historical
society
to
offer
an
exhibit:
that's
going
to
be
open
to
the
public.
Why
don't
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
what
that
is.
H
She
and
her
family
were
shipped
from
the
ghetto
to
denmark
to
the
stutto
concentration
camp
and
she
was
able
to
escape
the
concentration
camp
and
was
assimilated
into
the
danish
community
and
lived
for
almost
a
year
of
her
life.
I
believe
in
a
small
town
outside
of
danzig
and
she
and
her
sister
both
posed
as
lithuanian
catholic
girls,
and
they
were
offered
odd
time
jobs
at
the
vermont
station
in
donsig
and
survived
doing
that
until
denmark
was
liberated
in
may
of
1945..
H
But
the
film
talk
for
alt
tells
of
her
life
and
it's.
It
was
significant
for
us
in
the
human
rights
commission
because
it
got
to
the
very
basic
premise
of
human
rights,
life,
liberty,
pursuit
of
happiness
and
survival
of
the
human
spirit,
and
we
just
felt
as
though
this
was
a
story
that
should
be
brought
and
given
his
opportunity
to
everyone
that
could
possibly
come
and
view
these
20
panels.
H
J
H
A
Wonderful,
well,
you
you
had
said
panels.
What
exactly
is
the
exhibit
going
to
be
we're
going
to
be
watching
this
documentary
film
talk
a
little
bit
more
specific
about
what
residents
are
in
store
for
if
they,
if
they
come
in,
is
it
something
that's
going
to
be
here
or
is
it
going
to
be
over
at
the
historical
society?
Well,.
I
It's
going
to
be
here
starting
starting
26th
through
june
8th
and
it
will
be
on
the
concourse
it'll,
be
20
panels,
20
large
panels.
That
will
tell
you
the
story
of
jews
in
denmark,
going
back
to
the
1600s
and
how
they
in
effect
were
accepted
as
neighbors,
intermarried
and
so
forth,
and
then
the
events
of
october
1943
and
what
the
response
was
many
photos.
I
I
A
Absolutely
well,
it's
a
story
that
I
don't
think
that
many
probably
know-
and
my
next
question
to
both
of
you
is:
what
would
you
you
know
above
and
beyond,
just
being
a
completely
compelling
thing,
how
would
you
get
residents
to
to
take
the
time
to
come
out
and
look
at
something
like
this?
You
know
just
to
take
an
hour
or
two
out
of
their
day
for
this
it
it's
absolutely
worth
it.
What
would
you
tell
residents
to
kind
of
bring
it
home.
H
So
it's
it
it's
something.
That's
that's!
It's
educational
and
gets
and
again
just
gets
at
those
very
fundamental
human
rights
that
we
all
have
grown
to
love
and
cherish,
and
some
of
us,
some
of
us
as
judith
little
life.
That
was
that
was
horrific
in
a
lot
in
a
lot
of
ways,
but
she
survived
to
tell
a
story
and
it's
a
story
that
we
should
all
listen
to
and
remember
absolutely.
I
Obviously
the
evil
part
of
this
the
holocaust
is
something
you
want
to
keep
in
mind.
So
it
does
not
be
repeated,
although
it
has,
but
the
second
part
of
this
the
good
parts
of
history
need
to
be
repeated
and
that's
what
the
boat
lift
is
about,
and
that's
what
the
individual
spirit
of
holocaust
survivors
and
how
they
gave
back
to
the
world
or
something
to
be
remembered
by
all
of
us.
H
J
A
Yeah
definitely
get
the
full
effect
well
great,
well,
we'd
like
to
thank
larry
and
brian
for
joining
us
and
again
this
is
a
free
event.
There's
no
prior
registration
that
is
needed
for
a
complete
list
of
details,
dates
times
visit
the
city's
website.
It's
now
time
for
a
short
break,
we'll
be
right
back.
G
K
What
we
really
wanted
to
do
was
to
help
the
businesses
and
the
citizens
in
bloomington
have
a
way
to
recover
the
money
they
were
losing
from
the
bad
checks
and
the
grand
scheme
of
things
or
all
the
crimes.
We
investigate
it's
relatively
a
low
priority,
not
that
it
isn't
important,
but
maybe
not
as
important
as
some
other
crimes
we
investigate.
K
So
this
is
an
opportunity
for
us
to
still
help
investigate
some
of
those
cases
that
are
a
little
more
serious
in
nature,
the
higher
dollar
value
ones,
but
the
lower
value
we
can
put
into
this
program
through
fcs,
and
they
will
do
a
lot
of
the
legwork.
A
lot
of
the
investigation
work
for
us
and
then
work
on
collecting
the
money
on
owed
the
business
and
also
to
put
the
offenders
into
a
program
to
help
them
break
that
habit.
A
While
checks
are
being
used,
less
and
less
the
crime
potential
is
still
there.
This
program
costs
nothing
to
take
part
in
if
you
or
your
business
would
like
more
information
on
the
criminal
worthless
check.
