If you haven?t received it, please let me know. I really think delivering newsletters door-to-door is such a fascinating look at our neighborhood. So many people were relaxing on their porch or working in the yard. It's a great way to meet your neighbors. I also noticed beautifully landscaped yards, home improvements just completed or in process and even a new way to style a front porch. I highly recommend helping deliver. It's a great way to get to know not only your neighbors but the houses that make up this historic neighborhood. If you?re interested, please let me know. Thank you to everyone who helped deliver this time around! Andy Fry, Katrina Shaw, Delores Smith, Ardith Woertz, Brendan Jensen, Carol and John Christensen, Tom Luellen and Erin Snethen. See the PDF attached to view the newsletter. Enjoy!

Our first speaker, Travis Tenbrink, is the assistant forester for the city of Topeka. He provided many helpful tips on protecting and caring for aging trees. His main suggestions for aging trees is to be sure to water aging trees during droughts, keep their environment stable, and only trim dead wood not new growth. If you have a tree, on the right of way, that needs attention there is someone staffed to answer your call at 368-3111 24 hours a day. Due to a communication error on my part our second speaker was unable to attend the meeting. We have rescheduled. Darrell Stewart, Community Outreach Manager for Shawnee County Parks and Recreation, as well as Bill Riphahn, Project Manager for Shawnee County Parks and Recreation will both be attending our next meeting, November 20, 2017. To find out more about exciting future plans for our beloved Boswell Park please join us then. Our community police officer, Officer Hendricks, reminded us to leave our porch lights on, remove valuables from cars, and lock our doors. Lastly, mark your calendars for October 15th. Our wonderful homes tour and Wall of Fame ceremony begin at 12:30. Flyers with more details will be hand delivered soon.

I would like to offer my request to deny such an ordinance. I can tell you, from having a pig down the street and having chickens behind me, that they are noisy, nasty and smelly. I am most certain that this will cause property values to decline.

I have owned a potbellied pig as a pet. I can attest to its friendliness and quiet demeanor. If one is to clean up the pig poo as one does dog poo, there is no smell issue. Many owners of potbellied pigs have their pet pig in the house some of the time, where it uses a cat litter box. Sure a herd of pigs kept outdoors would be offensive - just as a pack of rottweiler's would!!! A single pet potbellied pig is no more of a neighborhood problem than a barking dog kenneled outdoors all the time. I would vote in favor of allowing someone to keep not only a potbellied pig as a pet, but also a couple of miniature goats. (A couple, because they are a herd animal and otherwise would be lonely!!)

I don't want small horses, goats, chickens, and other animals covered under this ordinance to impact my property value not the quality of my life. -------------------------------------------- On Mon, 9/25/17, Heidi Hunt wrote: Subject: RE: [College Hill Topeka] City Council Vote for Pigs To: "'Smith'" , neighbors at collegehilltopeka.org Date: Monday, September 25, 2017, 10:22 AM I politely disagree with Mr. Smith!
