Towing starts - no foolin!
A reminder that Tuesday, April 1st marks the return of regular street sweeping. As you park in the South End (or any street space) make sure to read the Street Sweeping signs to note days and hours of street sweeping. The city will Ticket and possibly TOW your car away if you are parked on the street when sweeping will occur!!!

The new phoneboooks' here!
The Globe has picked up an issue we discussed at the last ESNA meeting - the deluge of phonebooks we seem to be getting. Basically, they're the same as a newspaper or Chinese menu - anyone can put anything on your doorstep. If you don't want a phonebook, the best solution is to keep it our of the rain until recycle day, then put it out with your recyclables.
You may be able to call to get them to stop delivering (both companies), but since most buildings are multiple units, something will show up at your door anyway. The only success I've heard of are large buildings that get pallets of books - Verizon will come take some of those back.
But the YP (and WP) are paid products, just like a newspaper, if someone makes money by printing it, chances are you'll get it. Just remember to recycle

Michael Flaherty comes to your house
City Councilor at Large Michael Flaherty has announced, well, he'll come to your house. It's best to read... See his notice below. If you have a group of neighbors you hang out regularly, this could be your chance for someone in City Hall to listen
Last week, I [Councilor Flaherty] officially announced the launch of my Kitchen Table Conversation Tour. For the next year, I will be visiting with groups of residents at their kitchen tables and in their living rooms to field your suggestions and observations about how we can make sure our city is moving in the right direction.
What I am hearing loud and clear from many residents is that they are tuned out and turned off from local government. Many people have lost interest in what our local leaders are doing, and, even worse, they feel like city government is losing interest in them.
The goal of my kitchen table conversations is to get people tuned back in to what is going on in their neighborhood and across their city. Through your personal input, I also aim to end the disconnect between city policies and the needs of everyday residents, families and small businesses. I look forward to meeting with people in their homes and sharing their stories and ideas with you in the months ahead.
If you would like to host a gathering at your house, please contact me at Michael.F.Flaherty@cityofboston.gov or call my office at 617-635-4205. I hope you will save a seat for me at your kitchen table.

LandWave Fundraising Event (2)
Landwave, the public art to be installed at the Boston Neck location in Peters Park is having a fundraiser on April 8th. Their announcement is below
Frank Campanale is one lucky guy! Not only does he own the very cool Harrison Avenue shop diseño boston and a fab apartment in the hippest neighborhood in Buenos Aires, but by fall his Washington Street loft will have the perfect view of LandWave. This public artwork, commissioned for the South End’s Peters Park, will soon be a strikingly beautiful presence on Washington Street, marking the narrowest part of the historic Neck to the Shawmut Peninsula. By day, its glass-embedded tiles will sparkle in the sun; at night, the soft blue glow of LEDs will outline the crest of its three waves. See www.LandWave.org for plans, pictures and information.
Frank is also a good guy. On Tuesday, April 8th from 6 to 8 PM, he will open his South End home for an exclusive reception for LandWave, complete with excellent food and wine inspired by Frank’s South American décor.
Space is limited. Please save your spot by sending your check to Bob Wells at the address below as soon as you can. Your contribution of $125 per person or $200 for couples in advance (or $150 or $250 for couples at the door, if tickets are available) will help make LandWave a reality for all South End residents and visitors. (Make your check out to UrbanArts Institute, a nonprofit, for a tax deduction. We can’t accept credit cards.)
We hope you can join us to hear artist Shauna Gillies-Smith describe the piece, see the future site of LandWave from the top, and enjoy excellent food and wine inspired by Argentina. You’ll enjoy Frank’s Boston apartment, a showcase for the best of Argentine design. You’ll love LandWave, a truly contemporary artwork marking the historic geology of our South End.

More on Hanson parking issue
The issue of vandalized cars on the Shawmut end of hanson st that was covered in the South End news last week was also covered in the Globe today. [Story] I talked with officials at D4 police district, who confirmed that they have not gotten calls about this issue.
A reminder to call 911 to report any issues of vandalism that you see in the neighborhood. Too many times people just assume 'someone else' will call and make a report. it's troubling to hear this particular vandalism has happened so many times, yet there are no police reports. No wonder the police aren't doing anything about it. They don't know there's a problem. If you are uncomfortable calling the police, or are trying to make an appointment then make time to email our Community Liaison Carolyn MacNeil and let her know something has happened. In our electronic age, photographs of vandalism help a lot. Getting evidence such as written notes into police hands can also help them track down vandals.
Remember, if you don't say something, no one else will.

Are you interested in meeting with DPW and BTD?
The City is holding neighborhood forum with neighborhood leaders and the Chief of Public Works and Transportation and members of their staff. At these forum meetings, we will discuss “related issues”, including recycling, street sweeping, snow removal, trash, sanitation, road construction, etc. It looks to be partially informative, to let us know what the rules are, and part interactive to get feedback and ideas.
In an effort to get more ESNA members involved in the NA, I’m asking if anyone would like to join me and participate in these meetings. This is a chance to get more involved in the neighborhood goings on, and to interact with city leaders. If interested, you would need to commit to the Last Thursday of every month, beginning this week through June.
Please let me know if you’re interested, and I can pass on the agenda and discuss the meetings with you.

Trash pickup times
A reminder to everyone, Trash pickup can begin as early as 7am on trash day. People have gotten used to later pickups, and this past Monday people ended up putting trash out after collection had happened.
Please remember to put your trash out early on day of pickup. And remember, if you put the trash out at 10am, and you're the only bag left on the street, you may have missed them...

Wanna vote?
A reminder - if you wish to vote in the Feb 5th primaries, and are not yet a registered voter, you need to register by January 16th. Boston voter information can be found at http://www.cityofboston.gov/elections/
If you are not registered with a party affiliation, you can still vote in the primaries. WHen you go to vote you declare yourself to be in one of the parties (you have to pick), vote in the primary, then immediately fil out a form to un-enroll yourself from the party. A pain, but you do get to vote in the primary. (Not sure if you can do this if you are in a party - pick some other party then register back. Anyone know??)

Happy New Year everyone!
Just a reminder that even though it is the first Wednesday of the month, there will be NO January meeting tonight. Look for us to resume on the first Wednesday in February, 2/6.
Someone had asked me about the clear trash bags we can now use for the combined recycling – I have seen them at Shaws – Shaws brand clear plastic 30 gallon bags. They are also supposed to be available at Foodies, but I haven’t checked yet.
Now that we’ve been smacked with snow, I thought I’d send a nice snow reminder. One of your best city resources is http://www.cityofboston.gov/snow/ This web lists rules and regulations for snow removal. While most of ESNA was snow free, there were some exceptions… Also, don’t forget to shovel out your local fire plug!!!
On the city web site (http://www.cityofboston.gov/notification/registration.asp) you can sign up to get an email when the city declares a snow emergency – a nice reminder for those who use street parking.
And a final reminder that the ESNA email list (eightstreets@yahoogroups.com or http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eightstreets/) is available for two-way discussions!!! As the building boom has ‘subsided’ and everything in the neighborhood is, in general, doing well, Eight Streets needs to start thinking about what we want to do with ourselves… We’ve chatted in the meetings about moving towards a more speaker/topic oriented meeting plan, having more activities, and maybe concentrate on fundraising. If you have any thoughts or ideas, please feel free to email them out to the NA and we can start some discussion!
Hope everyone has a great 2008!
