Not quite ruined

By Brent Williamson · Wednesday, July 16,2008 11:05 p.m.

The movie offers some good thrills and scares, relying mostly on tension and drama rather than gory visuals to frighten the audience, but it works well. The movie provides a few good visceral scares, as well as plenty of psychological drama.

Possible to impress

Not the whole story

Wednesday, July 16,2008 6:19 p.m.

I have to say I was interested in your article about I-69 when I first saw it mentioned on the second section of the latest IDS. I have been wondering what everyone’s HUGE complaints were. When I moved back to Bloomington in December of 1996, one of the first things I saw of this town was an I-69 protest meeting at my new middle school. First they were complaining that they should take care of the roads they have, that the highway was going to go through Amish property, along with the obvious environmental issues. I never knew how much of a compromise was struck on some of the issues that could be tackled like going through Amish land, and that’s what I was really interested in.

Damon is leaving IU for Penn State where he will be vice president of student affairs. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Damon over the year, know that he is an exceptionally gifted, intelligent and caring human being. We can only express our sorrow and regret that we are losing such a fine and vital member of our community.

Wednesday, July 16,2008 6:15 p.m.

Though I applaud the IDS for addressing the issue of poverty in Bloomington (“Getting By,” 07/03), I took great offense at the article’s moralizing conclusion that “one thing is uniformly detrimental to curing the problem of poverty: giving spare change to panhandlers.”
