I know of a resident who is abusing handicap parking by using an illegal pass. Who do I notify.

"The Town's Handicapped Parking Enforcement Program discourages the abuse of parking spaces designated for the handicapped, according to the Town." Exactly how do they do that? Do they write summonses? Do they have legal authority to do so? Just asking...

Volunteers check lots, photograph cars that are not complying and violators are then issued tickets.

As volunteers, they are authorized to write summonses enforceable by law? I smell a legal challenge down the line.

Spot on N'prtr. Since when do we deputize people? I hear you Pam, they are just taking a photo, but they choose whose photo to take and submit. That makes them judge and jury. Yech! What's next, get a posse together and patrol the streets... but just take pictures of the bad people? F2B... me .

Great idea!! I have a handicapped family member. Its amazing how people lucky enough to be able to walk without any disability park in handicaped spaces. The excuses are always the same...it will only take a second. Well park legally and it will take a few seconds longer. Photograph the offenders licence plate while they are parked illegally, and let the court decide. Absolutely wonderful idea.

Usually cats stay within a few houses of home Sometimes they just hunker down under a neighbor'sRead More shed or deck. He is more likely to come to you at night when there aren't as many lawn mower sounds. Walk around with a can of the stinkiest cat food that you can find. Call to him, and listen for a response. He may answer you with soft meows. Make a trail of stinky cat food to your door and leave the can at the door overnight. Hang up signs with a photo in the neighborhood. Go door to door and tell neighbors to call you if they see him. Kids playing, and dog walkers might spot him. Once you have an idea, of where he is, you can use a have a heart trap to catch him, if he won't come to you. Some cats get so scared when they get out, that they don't recognize their humans. We have had cats disappear for months, before trapping them.
