Illustration and design services for teachers
by Lucy Engelman 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

Hi! I am a professional illustrator and graphic designer living in Stanton Heights. I can’t imagine the challenges teachers are facing at this time and the frustration and sadness that must bring. I’d like to offer my services pro-bono to any teachers or homeschooling parents in the area who need help creating material for their students. I have 10 years of experience working with publishing companies and commercial clients creating a variety of visual aids. If you’re a teacher with an idea in mind for your curriculum and lack the resources to make them a reality, get in touch! I’d love to help. Feel free to pass this along to any teachers you may know and love. Best, *Lucy Engelman* Illustration & Design https://www.lucyengelman.com @lucyengelman

UPDATE-- Bo the cat came home!
by Sara Cole 27 Sep '20

27 Sep '20

Hello Neighbors, I am happy to report that Bo came home and seems to be safe and sound, though a bit spooked. One of my housemates spotted her out of the corner of his eye coming down the alley close to 1am. He and another housemate followed her and tried to catch her in a little courtyard behind a neighbors house. She was very obviously freaked out, hissing even when a familiar voice talked to her calmly and tried to coax her home, and she even jumped the fence to escape (totally shocking to us as she is hesitant to even jump up on the couch). They decided to stop pursuing her, worried they'd push her even further from our home. Earlier in the day, a friend of ours loaned us a have-a-heart trap, and so we set that with some food on the back porch. We left our backdoor open ajar all night. I camped out near the porch, and near 4:30am I heard some rustling. Sure enough, when I looked out on the porch, there was a very familiar whining grey furball in the have-a-heart trap. After 3 cans of food, a lot of water, and some snuggles, she is mostly back to her old self. She's currently curled up on the couch next to me purring. The whole thing would almost be funny if I wasn't so terrified before. Never in a million years would I think we'd be pursuing Bo down an alley as she hops a fence and then later capturing her in a trap. I know some cats are adventurers, but Bo literally just snuggles, lays in the sun, and waits for her food robots to dispense food to her. As I mentioned when she was lost, she's just very gentle and docile. I guess just like people, cats can surprise you. I so appreciated everyone looking out and offering tips. It kept me somewhat sane during what felt like near constant anxiety for nearly an entire day. Also, despite how difficult everything is in the world right now, my neighbors well wishes, tips and offers of help genuinely renewed my faith in humanity a bit, so I'm grateful for that too. Thanks again everyone and have a safe, happy Sunday! Your neighbor, Sara
