NONTOXIC COCKROACH POISON RECIPE
May 16th, 2012 by ABQDNA Webmaster
It’s that time of year. I think they are holding conventions out by my water meter. This recipe is from a neighbor and she swears it works. So give it a try.
Cockroach Poison
1 minced onion
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar’
12 or 16 oz boric acid (I just add what I have)
enough milk to make a cookie dough consistency (not runny, but not crumbly).
Place spoon fulls of the mixture on A plastic lids and put under furniture/cabinets, or in the yard, where you see roaches. Works great! It’s not toxic to birds or animals.

A VERY SUCCESSFUL HISTORIC HOME TOUR – THANKS TO ALL
May 15th, 2012 by ABQDNA Webmaster
This year’s Historic Home Tour was a great succes! We sold 1432 tickets, up 200 from 2010 and we were able to increase the price as well. The ability to buy tickets online proved quite popular and helped shorten the lines at the park. We provided free Trolley Rides, free bottles of water and free BRGR Coupons. We had a great line up of food and beverage vendors at Mary Fox Park. This was a wonderful opportunity to showcase our Neighborhood!
A big thanks to all the homeowners, docents, other volunteers, program advertisers and the Home Tour Committee Members. Lindi Anderson who chaired this committee did a remarkable job! Again, thanks to all, including those who purchased tickets. We will now have the opportunity to expand our Community Service Projects.
In the next few days we will be posting a Home Tour Survey, please take a few minutes and provide feedback so that the 2014 Home Tour will be even better.

CITY COUNCIL – SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN HEARING DELAYED
May 8th, 2012 by ABQDNA Webmaster
First of all a huge thank you to everyone who sat through a very long meeting last night with the City Council, only to have the Downtown Neighborhood Area Sector Development Plan moved to the next Council hearing!
For those not able to attend the City Council meeting last night, the City Councilors heard two previous items on the Final Actions section of the agenda, but by 11.30pm decided to move the remaining items (and this included the DNA SDP) to the next agenda. So the DNA SDP will now be heard on Monday May 21, 2012, at City Council Chambers. The City Council meeting will begin at 5pm as per usual, and an agenda will be available the Friday before. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you for your continued participation in, and patience with, this ongoing community planning process!
Kind regards,

“Individuals who are registering to vote for the first time can request an application by calling 243-VOTE, by stopping by our office on the 6th floor of One Civic Plaza, NW or by visiting any state agency such as MVD or Human Services,” says Clerk Toulouse Oliver. “Voters who are not a registered major party (Democratic/Republican) but who want to participate in the Primary need to register as a major party by this date. It’s also a great opportunity to remind residents to update their voter registration information if they have changed addresses. A new address may mean they are eligible to vote in a different congressional, state or local district.”
