Kittens for adoption

I have 3, 5-7-week old kittens and their mom who is a kitten herself
available for adoption. They are stunning, well socilaized and healthy.
They will be ready in about 2 weeks.
They must go in pairs unless you already have a young kitten.
They need a foster home now if you want a wonderful experience :)
Contact Lori Rolnick at PetMAC DC for more info.

Tree Markings

The bases of four of the older trees on our block (4500 block of
Garrison St. NW) have been marked with a white substance that looks
something like a large handful of white corn starch. Would anyone know
what that might be or why it has been put on the trees? Has anyone
else noticed it in their areas? Thank you. L. Brenneman.

House cleaner

Does anyone have a recommendation for an honest, thorough, and
reliable house cleaner? I recently moved to the neighborhood and would
appreciate any references for someone who could come to my house every
other week. Thanks.

Daytime Residential Street Sweeping Resumes March 24,

Ticketing Begins March 31

Daytime mechanical street sweeping resumed today in heavily trafficked
residential neighborhoods. Alternate-side parking restrictions in these
areas will go into effect as well. Parking tickets, which carry a $30
fine, will be issued, beginning March 31, to vehicles parked during
street sweeping hours in areas posted with "No Parking/Street Cleaning"
signs. Additionally, parked cars may be towed to allow the sweepers
access to the curbside. Generally, parking is prohibited for two hours
while sweeping is underway.

When street sweepers are able to successfully complete their route, the
pay off is tremendous. Based on a recent study, each mile swept
mechanically removes 10 pounds of grease and oil; three pounds of
nitrates and phosphates; and, one to two pounds of heavy metals.

DPW street sweepers cover about 4,000 lane miles monthly, removing
litter by brushing it onto a conveyor system, which transports the
material into a debris hopper. The sweeper also emits a fine spray of
water to help control dust. Street sweeping is suspended during winter
as the sprayed water can freeze on the street and cause dangerous
driving conditions. For more about the DC Department of Public Work's
street cleaning program, visit www.dpw.dc.gov.
