Chicago tree trimming?
I know I can request tree trimming online, and I will do that. Just have a few questions about how it works.
Last week, signs went up in front of a few houses so that tree trimming could be performed. They worked on one tree. I asked a worker if they were going to do the tree next door to my house. It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees...

Last week, signs went up in front of a few houses so that tree trimming could be performed. They worked on one tree. I asked a worker if they were going to do the tree next door to my house. It has a large dead branch overhanging the street. Worker brushed me off, said no all those trees are gonna come down one day because of the disease. So I asked how long he thought it would take to get to this one considering there are probably 80,000 of them in the city.
I know resources are slim, I know that services need to be requested but it seems strange to me that the equipment was there, workers ready to go but they couldn't cut the dead branch off.

Alderman Tim Cullerton 38th Ward 38th Ward AldermanAnna, I know it may sound confusing, but it depends if the workers were working on 311 requests OR if they were working on an area "blitz".
You can call my office if you are in the 38th Ward and submit the address and I'll try to see if it's possible to get the tree trimmed during the next blitz. If you're in another Ward, call the Alderman's office to see if he/she can try and help.
My number is 773-545-3838.

Fun exercise classes?
Does anyone know of any fun Zumba/Jazzercise-type courses offered this summer on the NW side (and reasonably priced)? Thanks
Loading 
-
If you go to the Zumba website, you can find classes based on your location. Immaculate Conception has classes with 2 great instructors 3 days a week. They run 6 week sessions and the pricing is as follows: Drop-in = $10 per class, One day per week = $48, Two days per week = $85, Three days per week = $100. I do the 3 days per week, and it works out to about $5.50 per class.

Police presence in our neighborhoods during the NATO summit
I'm kind of hoping some can answer this question for me be it an alderman or another resident. With the NATO summit I'm expecting a lot of officers being present at whatever protests will be held in the downtown area. I would like to know if there will be a decrease of police in our area doing their usual patrols during this time.

Portage Parker since 1946 Name says it.One of the cool things is to visit the actual pavement where the executions took place behind what was then the Criminal Court. A place of pilgrimage almost entirely ignored by Chicago. And a nod of admiration to Governor Johann Peter Altgeld, who committed political suicide acquiting some.

According to the Friday edition of the Chicago tribune "the senate voted 32-20 to require that students in kindergarten through fifth grade get at least 20 minutes of recess. Schools also would be permitted to require recess for sixth through eighth grades. The bill also seeks to block teachers from holding children out of recess as punishment according to sponsoring Sen Kimberly Lightford. the measure will go to the House."

Her original bill was for 30 minutes but through negotiations it was dropped to 20 minutes.
Granted children need recess but do we need a state law for this. Chicago and the State are crumbling and our Senators are debating and voting on recess for children. How ridiculous. What is the old saying while Rome burned Nero fiddled. We need to stop the foolish music and man the hoses.

Tom K. Lifelong resident of Portage Park.OK. I didn't say whether I agreed with the merits of the bill you brought up. All I said was that there are other issues that need to be addressed, and the General Assembly seems to believe that recess was one of them. That's just one example out of many bills that have already passed this year that have nothing to do with the financial mess.

kenji my email is: chicagokenji @ gmail@ekop, yes recess is a state issue. It's the health and wellbeing of the children in their care. Just like their nutrition is when eating a school lunch.

Graffiti at Merrimac Park
I've been noticing a ton of new graffiti all around Merrimac Park. Someone actually wrote all over the sidewalk on Irving with what I think is marker... stuff about "Cobra Killers" and all that other garbage. All the signs, electrical boxes, etc. surrounding the park have new graffiti on them. I will be happy to take some pictures and post them if that will help identify these useless pieces of garbage. This needs to stop now BEFORE it escalates and they start shooting each other up.

I have had pets all my life and I can't believe how many people on here are losing their pets. Now we have a puppy. Well who the heck leaves a puppy unattended??? Well then everyone in that household should be out looking for it until they find it. and you cat owners are the worst!! My job leads me all threw the 16th district, and last nite I can't even tell you how many beautiful cats I seen roaming the streets, in good neighborhoods. Like Central & Foster, Central & Bryn Mawr, Northwest Hwy & Austin. But then when their cat doesn't come home after a couple days they wonder.It's not home cause it's probably been run over.Not only that but cats are predators and they like to catch mice or rats. You know what happens when they catch one who has ate bait? They suffer the same death. They bleed internally, until their dead.You still think it's a good idea to let your cats roam? I had an episode last nite with 2 cats on different streets that didn't want to move out of street. I had to beep and yell at them. Now let me ask you cat owners, you think the punks do that? I'm here to tell you NO. They aim for them. The city needs a way to make money, start fining all these people who leave their cats out. This pet thing is just too much, be responsible or don't have a pet at all!!!!!!!!!.

I don't know that much about cats other than the one "neighborhood cat" that hangs around a couple of houses around me because my neighbor feeds it.
Here are my recommendations to keep your dogs safe…
1). BOND WITH YOUR DOG - Make sure that your dog looks up to you and won’t want to leave you. Sit down daily, cuddle with them and give them a treat. Also take them for a walk around the neighborhood so they know how to find your house.
2). SPAY / NEUTER – Spay / Neuter your dog to reduce its urge to wander looking for a mate.
3). COLLAR AND TAGS – Your dog must wears its collar 24/7.
a). The collar should not be to tight or too loose. You should be able to put 2-3 fingers under the collar. Check it every day. Also the collar should not be pulled over the dog’s head.
b). The collar should hold the Rabbis Tag, Dog license and ID Tag.
c). ID Tag should contain Dog’s name, Your Name, 2 phone numbers (Home phone, Cell phone or Work Phone), your address is optional. I used http://www.terrificpets.com/pet_id_tags/
4). MICROCHIP – Microchip your dog. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice that is injected under the skin. It does not hurt. It can be done by vet or animal shelter.
a). Check the microchip by the vet periodically. My dog’s microchip failed after 5 years. I suggest that all vets scan for the chip during the pet’s annual checkup.
5). MOVING – When you move, update your microchip records and replace the ID Tag.
6). SECURE YOUR YARD – Check your yard to make sure it is secure
a). Padlock your gates. I had kids run through the yard leaving the gates wide open.
b). Inspect your fence and property looking for ways the dog can get out.
c). When your dog is outside, keep an eye on it. My dog doesn’t want to stay outside for more than 20 min. I check on my dog every 10 min. to see what she is doing.
7). LEASH YOUR DOG – Keep your dog on a leash when it is outside of your house / yard. -
Your neighborhood cat may be not fixed. It's important to fix outdoor cats. Do you have any additional info on this cat?

Our home's previous owners loved railroad ties. Now, ten years later, they are steadily rotting away. It's not like we can just chuck them out and plant grass and move on, our front yard has a slope ending in those darn RR ties. Would love to replace it with bricks or stones, but don't have a ton of money to toss into it. Any suggestions on good (i.e., don't rip you off) landscapers?
Loading 
-
Cheryl, I've been here 14 years and must have shared previous owners. Those railroad ties are a curse. They are extremely heavy, rot and just hideous. I had to pay my landscaper $100 to remove each piece. I still have 4 left because I could not afford to have them all removed. I was able to hide them with stacked retainer wall bricks and filling in with mud so that they are no longer visible. Not sure if this is an option for you.

I just wanted to share with my fellow flowers/garden lovers, I think this year, the Brickyard Lowe's has a great selection of different types of flowers, plants, etc...!!! :) They even have a sale/clearance section which I was able to find great buys !!! Almost done with my annual flower potting etc. and can't wait to watch all my flowers grow and bloom through out the spring and summer season. Looking for great prices and wonderful selections, my recommendation is to visit the Brickyard Lowe's garden center. Enjoy your flowers and garden.

This water stinks, not only outside but also in our homes through the sewer system. I have seen the water dept. come check it numerous times but, nobody does a thing about it. The problem is getting worse, Alderman Tim should take a ride by and check it out himself. Not only does it stink, I’m sure it’s unhealthy and will also be a great breeding place for mosquitoes. I myself have talked to Ald. Tim through everyblock recently about the rat problem we have in area, this could also be contributing to problem. Because the water is not going down sewer, when it rains bad, the grounds out here get so wet that it causes water to come in my basement, it has nowhere else to go. Something has to be done about this, it needs to be fixed. I hope you will help. This is a copy of e-mail I sent to Ald. Tim's office on Monday. Waiting to hear something.
