Just to set the record straight- my comment about Al Krigman being in the South of France on vacation was not meant as an insult; nor was I suggesting that properties owned and/or managed by Mr. Krigman or KRF Corp. are part of the litter/trash problems alluded to in my earlier postings.

Hey, how come no responses to my suggestions for solutions to the problem? Where is Al K. in defense of UC landlords. (Perhaps in the south of France for his July/August vacation)? Jonathan A.

Bradley Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 3:07 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [UC] New Topic- Trash on Sidewalks Hi All At various times I've handed trash back to someone, saying "Here, I think you dropped this." I've also requested people go trash their own neighborhoods instead of mine. I've asked "Do you do this in front of your house?" And, when particularly beside myself, I've thrown their trash back at them or their car. Of course, I'm not completely stupid - I always try to visually size the person up for their violence potential before I say anything. So far, I've gotten some dirty looks and some contrition - no violence. Here's a question for you: both my neighbors on either side smoke cigarettes and think its no problem to flick their butts on my property. No one in my house smokes, but my property is covered with cigarette litter. What can I do? Thanks, Lorna ----Original Message Follows---- From: Susan Zalenski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Susan Zalenski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [UC] New Topic- Trash on Sidewalks Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2003 10:22:41 -0700 (PDT) I never know exactly what to say to someone I see littering without fear of getting whacked. I'd like to think that I help keep down the amount of garbage north of my property because I am constanty (or at least it feels that way) picking up garbage in front of, and in back of my home and neighboring homes on the 500 block of S. 45th. It's my second job. I don't have time to do things like paint the exterior of my home because I am too busy picking up other people's garbage. I did get an L&I "no circular" sticker for my front door (came with the welcome package from the SHCA) so that I don't have that garbage to retrieve but I wish I could get one for my neighbor (not home) so I didn't have to constantly retreive his as well. To be honest, it's not just people actively littering, it's also trash that comes from street containers, unsecured garbage bags, open trash cans, etc. One good thing I've noticed (at least since I have an alley for trash pickup) is that people tend not to rip open garbage bags for trash picking. This was a constant problem in Art Musuem but then again, I lived across the street from Vince Fumo so our block was amazing clean despite this.

I go a step further and take my life in my hands when I actually scold those who simply drop whatever trash they have in their hands or throw it out the car window. They do this as if is their inalienable right to trash up everyone's environment. After all, they don't have to see the trash as they continue on their merry way. That is for those misfortunate souls left in their wake to deal with. It is just so arrogant and rude that I can't help myself and I must say some nasty remark to them. It probably doesn't change their behavior, but I feel better for speaking my mind. Maybe they'll think twice the next time. Doubtful--but maybe. However, if I'm found dead in some ditch somewhere, you'll know why. Tell the police to look for someone who litters--that should narrow down the search! Alan Jonathan Cass <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Now that the vet discussion is winding down- I have a new topic: Residential and commercial property owners who fail to clean up from the sidewalk adjacent to their property. The sad fact of the matter is that long existing attempts to educate the fine citizens of Philadelphia NOT to litter has not been a dismal failure. Accordingly, UC residents need to step up to make sure that sidewalks are kept litter free. I have the following observations: (1) Its actually quite easy for an single individual to keep a block clean. I pick up trash twice a day (while walking the dog) on my block, the 4600 block of Larchwood, and if you tour the street, you will notice that it is remarkably free of trash. Others should do the same. (2) Property owners have a moral and legal obligation to ensure that the sidewalks adjacent to their properties are kept clean and litter-free. (I believe that the legal requirement is codified in the City Code). (3) Community groups should schedule meetings with representatives from L&Is to determine how the existing City regulations can be enforced. L&Is response should include aggressive patrolling of the area and the fining of property owners who routinely fail to keep their sidewalks clean. Property owners should also be fined for not properly maintaining their garbage which is a significant problem with many, many rental properties. (4) It has been my observation that, on the whole, the litter/trash problems are more of an issue with rental properties than with owner occupied homes. Comments? Jonathan A.

I DO remember him at the Bark in the Park many years ago and he seemed like a different person, animated, friendly, interested as a vet. But when I met him in the office many years later he seemed removed and marking time.

In fact, one of our five cats, Cyrus had a problem that 3 other vets, including the South Street Vet and Bainbridge Animal Hospital couldn't diagnose or fix. They all said the problem was nerves and wanted to prescribe kitty-prozac. Dr. Littlejohn somehow realized that Cyrus had a 3rd internally-hidden testicle that was the cause of the problems (he had been neutered but acted like he hadn't and he was sickly). He operated and Cyrus is now all better. Dr. Littlejohn treated Cyrus and us with kindness and he was firm with him when he had to give him shots or take blood. To be expected when your patient might bite you.
