We have not yet found the owner of a found bicycle from a few weeks ago; if you have lost yours pleaselet us know. It looks like the original color has been spraypainted over. It has a combination lock. At curbside on Sunday, a box of older Shady Avenue magazines from 2009 - 12 (not every issue). You can trace the history of the East Liberty's new development through several articles in these issues. --

Re: Composting Leaves; an addendum to Emily Carlson's post
by Mike and Nicole Carlin 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

This was a post from my blog back in 2011... Money Does Grow on TreesTrees and their leaves are super-cool. Think about it, can you absorb carbon dioxide and cool a city block with the moisture you exhale? Have you ever sat in one place for a hundred years or more? Can you act as a windbreak for your home? I didn’t think so (and for the record neither can I) but for me the real riches come now in the fall. Leaves are a gold mine if you compost they make some of the richest compost you can find. I rake mine up and stuff them into 2′ diameter cylinders of vinyl coated wire mesh 1″x2″, I just hook these to my fence and there they sit all winter. I then alternate layers of leaves and kitchen scraps in my (extra cheap and easy) compost bin, and when I need fresh fun for my chickens, I throw an armful in. I also fill contractor bags with leaves (5-15 of them) on really dry days and then store them under my deck. I seal them twist ties, so that when the chicken run gets mucky and nasty after a week of rain I can put in dry crunchy leaves. Last year I shredded leaves to fill my tiny 18 inch by 10 foot garden. This past spring the plants grew like mad. Thriving in a rich brown soil made of kitchen scraps and leaves converted by an army of oversized nightcrawlers that had moved into the garden. I try to make at least one huge pile for my kids and the neighborhood kids to jump in, hours of free fun right there. Leaves also make beautiful garlands if you gather a big pile and thread them onto wool or cotton yarn, they dry and curl and form a nice bushy garland that, when you are done with it, is biodegradable! Now, I am not forgetting the pleasure of pressing and ironing leaves in wax paper (which by the by are also biodegradable when your done-so off to the compost they go) but, it is the fact, that we spend way too much time disposing of our leaves and then driving out to Home Depot in the spring to buy potting soil and topsoil. A little cylinder of wire doesn’t take up much space and think of all the pretty dirt you can be making. I threw my last stubborn, clotted mat of leaves from last year, out the bottom of my wire cylinder and into the chicken coop to make room for my first raking of leaves on Friday. Our chickens are not too smart, but after they determined the leaves wouldn’t eat them, they got busy. They scratched the leaves apart, ate the bugs and other goodies hiding inside, and are now happily sprawled out. Where can you buy fun like that for your citified chickens? Especially since ours can’t free range. We have at least one, if not more, huge redtail hawks, that live on the ridge right above us. They insist on flying down the alley behind our house checking out the really big “pigeons” we have in the coop and run? So while the kids can frolic free, the chickens have to play it safe. The leaves, they just get coralled and then doled out for the rest of the year. Who would of thought that money could grow on trees? But it does (check out the price of organic potting soil at the Depot or Lowes) then make your own using all that green falling from the trees.

by Joan Soulliere 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Hello, my name is Maeve Denshaw, and I am now in my seventh year of Girl Scouts. I am working on my Silver Award, one of the highest awards a Girl Scout can earn. I am teaching pet First Aid because most people do not know about basic wound and burn care for their dog or cat. I will also teach how to recognize and treat hypothermia and hyperthermia. I plan on holding two classes, both to be held at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church on Hampton Street in Highland Park. The first class will be held on Sunday, Dec 7, 2014 from 4 pm to 6 pm. The second class will be held Wednesday, February 4, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. I will be teaching people of all ages basic pet first aid, and other useful tips to help take care of your pet. I will also show them how to make healthy treats and toys for their cats and dogs. I am being sponsored by my Veterinarian, Dr. Caroline Simard from Point Breeze Veterinary. Space is limited, so please register ahead of time. emailing or calling my mom at Email: joansoulliere(a)gmail.com Phone#: 412-726-2415 Thank you, and I hope to see all sorts of dog and cat lovers!

found dog
by Rachel Kudrick 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

Large, younger (1-2 years?) pit bull, mostly white, but with significant brown spots. Unaltered male. Friendly and clearly trained. (Knew how to sit, lie down & shake). Had a collar, but no tags or leash. Running around Wellesley/Highview this evening around 8:00 pm. Called animal control. He will be at the Animal Rescue League tomorrow. I would have kept him here overnight, but this friendly guy had way too much energy. I'm a strong person, and I could not have held him if he'd wanted to run. Hope he finds his home.
