[Highland Park] roaming aggressive dog
by Ansell, Ellen Sue 08 Jun '09

08 Jun '09

At 4:00 in the afternoon on Monday June 8th, a white and tan muscular dog with purple color with no identification was roaming N. Sheridan Avenue between Grafton Ave and the Park. We saw it attack on two separate occasions dogs being walked. This frightened both dogs and owners.When the other dogs were gone, we got the dog on a leash and it was not aggressive to the people with him. Our vet suggested that we bring the dog to them to be scanned for a chip. The dog is on his way to the vet now (4:30). We will keep you posted as to what happens with the dog. If you know anything about this dog please contact Rick Rogow at 412 648-7319

Co-Owners Randa and Barb are really excited to meet neighbors and teach about various farming practices. So, next Saturday June 13th they are having a tomato planting volunteer day from 9am - 3pm. Things you will learn: Tomato transplantingCompanion planting (marigolds, basil, herbs to attract beneficial insects)Efficient use of Irrigation systemsEffective mulching to conserve moistureDeer fencingStaking (not vampires) Mildred's Daughters Farm is a working CSA farm where members put in a number of hours each week in exchange for a full share of the crops. The CSA is full for 2009 but they are looking for new members for the future. If you are interested they would love to meet you! Come on out and check out the farm! You'll have fun and learn a lot! Saturday June 13th 9am - 3pm TOMATO PLANTING VOLUNTEER DAY 1100 Normahill, Stanton Heights (Click for a map!) Snacks provided, bring something to share if you like! "Why haven't they already planted their tomatoes?", you may be asking yourself? Well, on the hill, in full exposure, with a full wind coming from the river valley, it's colder there. To protect their crops of heirloom tomatoes, they wait until there are no frost reports for at least a week.
