[Highland Park] Leaf Pick-Up?
by David Shumway 04 Nov '07

04 Nov '07

The city has announced that it is picking up leaves at curb-side on recycling days between Nov. 5th and Nov. 16th--i.e., November 12th around here. We are supposed to put the leaves in paper bags. Does anyone know if one can purchase large paper bags for this purpose, or are we supposed to use shopping bags? And, does this mean that the city will not be picking up leaves from the streets at has in the past? David

Re: [Highland Park] High Lead Levels at Farmhouse
by LORIFRED9＠aol.com 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hello Highland Parkers, I must have missed the previous posting over the summer about the lead problem. And I have been using the playground ignorant of the apparent risks. Why weren't there more postings? Or even better, a sign in the contaminated area? I thought such "close-knit" neighborhood, would want to share such information to protect other children. When I was approached by a journalist today at the Farmhouse, I was stunned about not knowing about any of this. ~LR ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

[Highland Park] High Lead Levels at Farmhouse
by Bob Staresinic 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hello All This morning there was an article about high levels of lead at the Farmhouse playground. There was an email posting sent out over the Summer about this also. Here are links to 2 articles: www.postgazette.com/pg/07306/830524-53.stm http://kdka.com/local/playground.lead.investigation.2.480999.html There have been several folks who have sent emails to the list, and I decided to summarize and send one out with the 2 above links. The Highland Park Community Council is a community organization, consisting of volunteers from the neighborhood. As the Secretary of the HPCC, I have little knowledge of lead paint, and have little time to take this issue on. But I can say that the HPCC will support and assist with getting this issue resolved. Rather than many folks trying to contact the Health Dept, City Parks, etc, I think it would be better for someone to try and take charge of this. I can direct any emails that come in to that person (or persons). This is an issue that was discovered at the beginning of the Summer, and there has been little notification about it to the community. If you are interested in working on this issue, send me an email or give me a call. I will try to get all of the interested folks together, and can provide some contact info for elected officials.
