First off, the image above has nothing to do with anything other than it is green and I thought it would sit nicely on top of the post. It's a photo of a pumpkin patch at Frazier Farm in South Oakland. I had never seen pumpkins in their early stage before and found this rather eye catching. I've explained my photo choice so let's move on to some serious stuff.

Another chapter in the continuing saga of the Igloo was written today as members of the public and an assortment of politicians had their say before the Sports & Exhibition Authority. Seems the room was pretty well split on what the arena's fate should be. ( Read Mark Belko's story on today's meeting).

On another note, we have a tree care day scheduled for tomorrow evening in Wilkinsburg, 24th of August from 4:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. Meet outside of the Wilkinsburg High School (747 Wallace Avenue)  You want to contact Sara: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it , or (412) 371-8779 x 117 if you can attend.

If you can't make it Tuesday night there is another event this coming weekend. Check back later in the week for details. Also, if you're interested in becoming an official Tree Tender, there is a course coming up in September.

Then you want to enter the Tipping Points for Sustainability Competition at Sustainability Pittsburgh. The deadline is Sept. 24, 2010, with winners being announced at the 10th annual Southwestern Pennsylvania Smart Growth Conference – Regional Collaboration: Investing in Sustainable Communities on Friday, October 15, 2010.
