Again with the dog calls at Memorial Park. That person must be very irritated by them.
lubov mazur June 26, 2012 at 02:17 pm
Wouldn't you be?
Alan Eckert June 26, 2012 at 02:31 pm
No I wouldn't, because I don't know much about the rule or why it is implemented. Nor do I frequent Memorial Park with my dogs. I use Terrace Park instead.
lubov mazur June 26, 2012 at 03:04 pm
Terrace Park is another instance of dogs on a playing field, but that field is more casual. I see "No Dogs" signs on every school playing field, but I never see it enforced. It's a health and sanitation issue. I've never trod in the noise.
janet June 26, 2012 at 03:32 pm
There is a special area just for dogs at the park (used to be part of the playing field, but is now cordoned off for dogs) so they ARE allowed to be there, except for the days when hours are limited. Also, reading the rules, it looks like it is only mondays and thursdays when dogs are not allowed between 4 and 7pm.
janet June 26, 2012 at 03:33 pm
I'm referring to memorial park, by the way.
Alan Eckert June 26, 2012 at 03:34 pm
Is this posted only, or is the info available elsewhere?

Its on the city of albany website under dogs in albany

Fawn Stuck in a Fence. I wonder if this could be the same critter I wrote about earlier this week, who was hoisted by teens at the Gill Tract. Peralta is kinda far from there. Hope she/he is OK.

I see it's posted as a City Ordinance (no dogs 4 - 7pm), when I asked a policeman patrolling the area HEAVILY up until 1 minute before 7 why the oridinance was in place, he said he didn't know, but the Chief told them to put 'special attention' to it, and the Bulb watch became secondary.
Does anyone know exactly why the Ordinance was put into place? There was no baseball going on at the time.
janet July 10, 2012 at 06:39 pm
I thought that the 4-7 restriction was just 2 days/week?
janet July 10, 2012 at 06:45 pm
I looked it up on the city of albany website under "dogs in albany parks" and it refers to closure times/dates for the sports field. I'm assuming they mean the little dog park part too? Here it is:
Saturdays from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm; Mondays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm during daylight saving time. Typically March through October: Click here for dates; Mondays and Thursday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm during Standard time . Typically November through February: Click here for dates; When a field user has acquired a permit through the City of Albany for use of the sports field. Click here for a calendar of permitted users.

Hi there - This doesn't seem like an appropriate announcement for Albany or Berkeley Patch. 1) theRead More category is Announcements/Around Town and these events are all in Marin 2) Patch's "Terms of Use" say "You may use this Service solely for personal and non-commercial purposes. That is to say: You can’t use the Service to make a living unless you enter into a separate agreement with us that says you can." This is clearly solely a commercial venture, not a neighbor of ours or local organization providing a community service and charging for the service. 3) I went to the Novato website and saw this listing: "Ettiquette (sic) Series for Kids - 17737 Ages: 7 Years to 11 Years - Residents $150.00 - Non-residents $163.00" 4) These items push our items of local interest down and out of sight. Especially now that there is no box indicating the stories with the most recent comments, as there used to be on the Patch front page, out of sight does mean out of mind. Charles, what are your thoughts here? Thanks.

I've been waiting for the right time to donate my son's old bike he used in middle/high school. It'sRead More been hanging on hooks in the garage and this seems like a great time to give it up!
christopher papazoglow June 7, 2013 at 10:30 am
Can you please post their hours / days of operation ? As i recall, they're only open afternoons aRead More few days a week, and it won't do to just leave donations outside ( they'll be scavenged ). And i was not able to find the info online.
AS&R - Albany Strollers & Rollers June 7, 2013 at 11:20 am
Thanks, Christopher. Open Community Hours are Friday, Saturday, Sunday 12-6pm so anytime those daysRead More are definitely fine. They're there (84 Bolivar Drive - Aquatic Park) most of the day Wednesdays and Thursdays for Youth Classes and the doors are locked. I just spoke to Amber Rich and she asked you to call them at 510 644 2577 and let them know what time is good for you and they will be sure to be there. Thanks for your generosity!
Dover June 5, 2013 at 02:47 pm
Thanks for the update but I am worried. This is very distressing. How will Eric and Tarina be ableRead More to afford their annual lengthy hipster vacation if they have to cough up lawyer fees? I am sure they were expecting that UCB (aka the rest of us) would pay Mr. Siegel's bill. Now they may have to resort to staying home and eating Top Ramen out of their charming and cheerful "made in Asia by small children but they're not slaving for 14 hours a day in front of our faces so we don't care" ceramic bowls. Oh noes! Bad, bad, very, very bad news.

David, thanks for the alert to the judge's decision.
