First chickens in East Cleveland in a while?

Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 01:49.

East Cleveland Chickens

In both areas of Cleveland's West Side where I've lived, I knew there were chickens and roosters nearby (some I saw, and some I heard), but I haven't come across any fowl life on the East Side of Cleveland, or in East Cleveland. I wonder if there are any other chickens in my part of town? There certainly were chckens on every property back when this was farmland, 100+ years ago.

But after seven years in custody - six of them in Guantánamo - he faces a long struggle to pick up the pieces of his lost childhood and teenage years, and to build a future for himself in a country still at war.

Pandemic influenza can be battled with vitamin D throw away your sun screen.

Dr. John Cannell on vitamin D

Swine Flu, the common cold and Vitamin D [sunlight] A true wonder drug?

A good diet of fresh foods will provide you with most of the nutrients you need.

But it takes special effort to get Vitamin D and Vitamin D is essential for health especially for boosting your immune system.

Getting Vitamin D from sunlight and/or supplementation is infinitely safer and more effective than getting the "flu shot."

REQUIRED DRUG TESTING FOR EMPLOYEES AND STAFF MEMBERS OF NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS?

Submitted by jerleen1 on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 21:02.

Many companies especially social institutions that deal with the public require representatives, staff and employees to take periodic drug tests.  With the many CDC's and non profit community organizations in the City of Cleveland,  why have they been skipped over when it comes to peeing in a cup.  

Certain recognizable actions are tale tale signs that drug usage could be on the rise inside some of these establishments throughout the city.

And what do you do with your dryer when it don't work no more?

Here's one way to keep your chickens dry. Pete Betchik of Madison on the Lake, Ohio built a chicken shelter using found materials. "The frame is made from wooden pallets, the roof also is pallet wood. The sides are old steel shelves. The inside is lined with old pizza boxes, the nest box was once used to ship fresh fish to market, and the front door was an industrial clothes dryer front."
