The Bellevue Hill Improvement Association met on Monday night, and all members were offered a free petunia plant.
State Sen. Mike Rush presented a PowerPoint slideshow on his 8-month deployment to Iraq as an intelligence officer in the US Naval Reserves, at Monday's Bellevue Hill Improvement Association spring meeting. "I was part of the last wave of service members to be in Iraq," said Rush, a lifelong West Roxbury resident. Rush said he is one of four current Massachusetts state legislators who have been mobilized for the military. Rush talked about the cultural clashes the miltary transition teams dealt with while working with their military Iraqi colleagues, "I certainly learned a lot and I hope they did, too." He added that while he wore military garb, the higher ranking Iraqi military members preferred to wear suits when possible, to present …

Bellevue Hill residents expressed great frustration with the Department on Conservation and Recreation in the quality of roads and sidewalks at recent meeting.
Last Wednesday's Bellevue Hill Improvement Assocation's meeting was sparsely attended, but ripe with passion. Daniel Hunt, Director of Governmental Affairs for the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), attended the meeting and heard from numerous residents regarding frustrations that have mounted through the years. Several residents complained about DCR's lack of tending to sidewalks and roads in the Bellevue Hill area, specifically Bellevue Hill Road. Several times Hunt blamed the problems on a lack of funding. Hunt was chastised by Athena Yerganian, vice president of the Bellevue Hill Improvement Association, saying neighbors have heard DCR's excuses about not having funding for years. She added that her wheelchair-bound …
