Due to leaf collection operations, bulk waste collection, which is available for $75/pick up will be suspended from Oct. 31<sup>st</sup> until March 2014. The exact date of commencement of bulk waste pick up will be dependent upon the weather.<u></u><u></u></div>

Residents may rake their leaves to the curb or bag their leaves in biodegradable paper bags and leave them at the curb for collection. Please do not use plastic bags. Leaves must be kept separate from brush, grass and rubbish. Only leaves are acceptable with the leaf collection. Public Works crews will be operating during the next two months to pick up the leaves in vacuum trucks.<u></u><u></u></div>

It is very important that residents make sure leaves do not get raked onto the street. It is extremely dangerous if children decide to play in leaf piles or if cars park on top of the piles. Also, leaves in the street can clog catch basins, causing flooding and other difficulties.<u></u><u></u></div>

Residents can also choose to compost their own leaves in their backyard. Backyard composting is an easy way to recycle leaves and make valuable compost that can be used in gardens, flowerbeds and houseplants.

The North End Action Team's Hiking Club embarked on the first hike of the season Sunday, with a group of 12 North End Kids, six Wesleyan University Students and a wonderful host of community volunteers. The group hiked the Chapman Pond trail by Gilette's Castle and a great time was had by all. They found lots of signs of spring, including skunk cabbage flowers, daffodils and new buds, as well as the remnants of winter...the remains of a swan and an abandoned paper wasp nest. If you're interested in hiking with us, give us a call at 860-346-4845 or email at neat@neatmiddletown.org

Capoeira is a unique Brazilian art form that combines elements of martial arts, dance, music and acrobatics. In Capoeira classes, students develop physically, emotionally, and mentally as they learn Capoeira’s challenging movements. Students learn to play traditional instruments, to sing in Portuguese, and to apply their training in an exciting improvised “game” which in turn, helps to develop personal strength, response time, creativity, courage, and self-expression.<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
