by Kristen Tsapis 13 May '07

13 May '07

We've put out at the curb a Craftsman gas mower and mulcher. It has a 22" cut and is self-propelled. It needs a tune-up AND the pull-cord reattached as we pulled it right out last fall. There is also a "like new" baby bath and a full functional stroller (a little grimy from a winter on the porch". 1011 Heberton St. Help yourself.

[Highland Park] A little mulch at the SuperPlayground
by Bob Staresinic 13 May '07

13 May '07

Good Morning Neighbors Yesterday (Saturday) the mulch was spread around the SuperPlayground. Monica and Vernon did a great job of getting the playground cleaned and repaired, and now the ground is covered in mulch. In the areas where the mulch was delivered, there is still some left in the grass. It would be great to clean that excess mulch off of the grass. I went up there this morning, but did not get a lot done because I was talking too much again. So I thought that some of my neighbors could use a little mulch for their yards, and would want to go and rake it for free from the grass. It is fresh, nice mulch that would be good for a path. Since you will get grass in with it, I would not use it in the garden. If you think you could use some free mulch, and want to go and rake it out of the grass, it is there waiting for you. Next to the shelter, you will see the mulch in the grass. Bring a rake and something to carry the mulch in. It is still dry, so it is not too heavy. I dont know how they did it, but Monica and John Watt were up there from 8:30 to 4:30 yesterday spreading mulch. I was there at 9 and left and came back later, and while I was there I was talking as much as working, but John and Monica were working the entire time. I just wanted to thank them, and everyone else who helped yesterday. The playground looks great! Bob

[Highland Park] Update on Park bathrooms
by Sherry Goldman 11 May '07

11 May '07

I received a few suggestions, so I emailed the city parks division who referred me to the Dept. of Public Works - Parks Maintenance Div who told me the bathrooms are cleaned every morning, and then referred me to the mayor's 311 request line. I called them and described the condition of the rest room and requested extra toilet paper rolls, soap, towels, hot water, a sanitizer dispenser, and particularly a dispenser for toilet seat covers. I suggested that if the ladies could cover the seat easily, then perhaps they wouldn't be afraid to sit on the seat, and they wouldn't dirty the seat. I also suggested that they replace the seat with a new one since the condition of the old one contributes to the impression that the bathroom isn't very clean. I also expressed surprise that the bathrooms were cleaned every day, because they didn't look like it, and suggested that they should do it more often. I also said I would put it out there to the Highland Park community that if the city couldn't afford to install some of these things, that I would see if the community might want to raise a little money to help out. I, for one, would be willing to contribute a few dollars to see some improvement. They gave me a request # and said to check back by Monday or Tuesday. Any thoughts, neighbors?
