The Jennifer Parker Foundation is sponsoring a 5K walk for environmental illness as a part of a national movement to raise awareness for the cause. The walk will start at 1 p.m. on May 5 at Tenney Park.

EI includes diseases like asthma, fibromyalgia, chemical and electromagnetic sensitivity as well as allergies and autoimmune diseases. The illnesses usually occur when someone is exposed to toxins like mold, dust, traffic fumes, pesticides and other chemical products.

Participants will walk from the park to the Capitol and back. Registration for the walk will cost $25 and the price includes a T-shirt, water and a snack. Children under 14 are free but must be accompanied by an adult.

Madison buzzed last year when urban beekeeping became legal, but not everyone loves living near a hive. While they are relatively few, the city has received some complaints about beekeepers over the last year.

According to zoning administrator Matt Tucker, there are 39 beekeeping licenses out in Madison, and only about three or four have had complaints lodged against them since the ordinance passed in February 2012. This is comparable to complaints about Madison's urban chicken raisers, Tucker said.

He noted the issues that most commonly come up with beekeepers have to do with the personal responsibility of keepers, like hives resting closer to lot lines than the ordinance allows.

Loni Broesch has filed multiple complaints about her neighbor and said she's miserable living next to a beekeeper.
