Hello Highland Park The Highland Park Community Council will hold its monthly meeting this Thursday, August 18th at St Andrews Church, 5801 Hampton Street. The meeting will be starting at 7:00 pm. All are welcome. We have no program scheduled, so the meeting will probably not be a long one. We will be discussing the Annual Members meeting in September, and taking nominations for Officers and Board members for the 2007-2008 year. The Reservoir of Jazz concerts are going on for the next 3 Sundays at the entrance to the Park, from 5-7 pm. Bring a chair, blanket, some family and friends and enjoy some free music in a lovely setting. The House Tour will be on Sunday, September 29th from 11am to 5pm, so get your walking shoes out. See you Thursday. Bob

[Highland Park] Bold scrap robbers
by Odell weiner 12 Aug '07

12 Aug '07

The problem is, that I spent quite a long time dismantling a stove for parts and the gas lines to attach the one that is now in my house. early this afternoon I heard metal scraping noises, looked out to the back yard and noticed a white/light skinned middle aged man wearing a baseball cap pulling along with him one of my gutters through my back yard . I stated for him to put it down, that it was not scrap and I said I would be right down. I was about to give him some scrap from the yard that I don't have time to take down right now, though he took off and as well as a white medium build woman with long brunette hair. They jumped into their full size blue ford truck and drove away. Yes the police were informed and a very nice officer Colassar took the report. Copper, brass and aluminum. I would have given them the stove and the three barbecues. I needed the parts for my stove. I just got them off yesterday. My own back porch though. I even have a parking pad _________________________________________________________________ Recharge--play some free games.

[Highland Park] Kids in garage on Jackson Street
by flamingoblue 11 Aug '07

11 Aug '07

Tonite around 9:00, in the 6400 block of Jackson St, my neighbors saw 2 African American teen agers coming out of their garage which had been left open to air out the moisture from the rain. My neighbor asked, hey what are you doing in my garage, and the reply was" I'll piss on you". Nice talk. My neighbor said, get out of here, and they took off on their bikes towards Heberton. They appeared to be empty handed. The police were called to file a report. Marty Harkins

Full of whole grains, their principle ingredients are oats, dried fruits, brown rice syrup, natural fruit juice, brown rice flour, soy protein concentrate and rice bran.

Almost any energy bar I've sampled in the past that claimed to have and *not *to have all of these things in it, tasted like oatmeal-flavored cardboard. The Heart Thrive company sent us samples of all of their flavors. All of our staff sampled these energy bars, not one of us is vegan and every last one of us loved them. They're filling and delicious and now I'm eating one for breakfast two or three days a week. We're giving them a ringing endorsement. Stop by the cafe and try one today!
