The AJC’s Kristina Torres has a nice, little feature on DHS senior Anna Rose Gable and her efforts to start a community garden on an unused portion of school property at the corner of Commerce and E. Howard.

The article says plots are available for $65 each, but doesn’t give any contact info for those interested.  Anyone have that?

This could be great for those of us that would like to start a little vegetable garden, but are covered by a very dense tree canapy.

Asst. City Manager Lyn Menne makes my day and sends along a photo of Decatur’s motorcycle police officer, Robert Lindsey, along with some background info about him and future plans for DPD’s “Traffic Safety Unit”.

Master Police Officer Robert Lindsey has been with the department since 2001. He attended the Police Motorcycle Course at the Northwestern Traffic Safety Institute. MPO Lindsey was assigned to the new traffic safety unit in January 2009. His duties include enforcement of all traffic laws, with special emphasis on speeding violations particularly those in school zones. The department hopes to assign a second officer to the Traffic Safety Unit in the near future. The second officer will utilize a sedan rather than a motorcycle and will work an overlapping shift with MPO Lindsey to provide a broader presence throughout the day.

Thanks Lyn!
