Well the market is open again this Saturday, and all four of the farmer stands will be open and fully stocked- Kistaco Farm, J.L Kennedy Meat Stand, Zang's and Greenawalts.  Here is a summary of what will be available, along with a few notes  and suggestions from me:  J. L. Kennedy Meat Stand- Val just let me know that they will again offer chicken backs this Saturday, Jan. 28 th for those customers who couldn't get them last week. This will be last offering until end of February. Orders can be placed by phone Friday or chance item availability Sat. morning.  The number at the farm is 724-898-2316. Kistaco Farm continues to have locally raised apples and apple cider.  Fall apples in January- where else can you find that! Zang's will have potted tulips and hyacinths Greenawalt's has some beautiful locally grown turnips that were recently dug.  Of course fresh local eggs will be available. There will be a variety of fruits and vegetables available throughout the market from Zang's, Greenawalt and Kistaco stands.  Some are still locally grown items and some are "imported."  If you are interested in locally grown, please feel free to ask the farmers which items are local. Potatoes (still locally grown at Greenawalt's) Mushrooms Squash Celery Carrots and other root vegetables Onions Cauliflower Tomatoes (Zang's should have several nice varieties) Shallots Peppers- sweet and hot Garlic Lettuce Spinach Green beans Broccoli Florida Citrus such as lemons, oranges and tangerines Grapes Other fruit such as berries Other vendors in the market will also be open.  So keep in mind that this includes many locally made offerings such as hummus from the Greek Gourmet, fresh baked items from Rebecca Plum, and fresh made donuts from Better-Made Donuts.  Also, pasta from Fontana Pasta, and bread from Wood Street Bakery.  Many Amish made prepared items are available at Greenawalts.  Kistaco sells dried soup mixes which are easy to make and great during the cold weather months. Kew Park Coffee BarThis week we will contiue to offer a dark/medium bean roasted by LaPrima, and a medium bean roasted by Commonplace Roasters. Florida citrus is in its prime so we have beautiful oranges, nectarines and grapfruits for making fresh squeezed juice.Since the weather has turned cold, we will have hot chocolate- back by popular demand!PA Made CheeseRecent arrivals include: Luddington Lace Swiss from God's Country in Potter County Fresh curds from Arsenal Cheese Blue cheese from Clover CreekCalifornia Olive Oil ConnectionWe have six different extra virgin olive oils this week.  We also have 4 different organically grown dried fruits from Van Dyke Organics in Gilroy, CA.  These are great items for the winter months. ******************************************************************************************** Thanks again for your support!

I am looking to gather a bunch of smooth (no raised print or designs like some Mason or Ball jars have), pint size/16 oz./2C (drinking cup size) Mason or other jars (preferably with labels off, but will consider this size jar with labels, too). If you have any such jars that you would be happy to let me take off your hands, please let me know. The jars do not need to come with lids. Thanks! You can email me at morgankraybill(a)gmail.com.

[Highland Park] Buyer Beware! Atlas Dreams Languages LLC
by anapier76＠mail.com 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Dear Neighbors, I was interested in language classes and know that Atlas Dreams Languages LLC has advertised on the Highland Park website. I know that one of our other neighbors has recommended Zineb Outnouna, (CEO/Pres) several times when she has advertised. Since I am also and educator, I decided to do some research before I decided to contact her. As it turns out, she has no accreditation or credentials to be teaching Arabic or French. She has no teaching degree nor does she have a degree in either of these languages. After digging a little, I discovered she has a degree in tourism. I actually know one of her students and ask about the lesson plan and curriculum. To my dismay, there is none, she provides no syllabus, uses no textbook, no work books, and provides no reference material. This begs the question, how do you even know what you are learning is accurate. I speak several languages but I know I am not qualified to to move to a country that speaks those languages and teach them. I also discovered that this is a very small company and she list herself as CEO, this would indicate that she answers to a board of directors, this is not the case. I leave the decision up to you, but I have a problem with anyone who misrepresent themselves, it speaks to their integrity. Please, if you are going to choose a teacher or tutor for language classes or any other subject, take the time to do your research, make sure you hire a qualified accredited teacher/tutor. If this is for children or yourself, you owe it to them and yourself to make sure that your money is being spent on the right teacher. We are a lucky community to have this website so we can share this kind of information. I have been advised by my neighbors before through this website and I am grateful. Thank you.

[Highland Park] Vent at new Japanese restaurant
by Jamie Phillips 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hello Neighbors, The changes on Bryant Street are exciting, to say the least. The back of the Japanese Restaurant is on the alleyway adjacent to my house, and lately, the vent back there has been going on and off every few minutes or so throughout the day. Each time, the lights in my house flicker. Does anyone know about the vent systems of restaurants? Is it normal for that system to go off and on so much? I hope this wouldn't escalate to a "nuisance" factor! Thanks, Jamie

by Emily Escalante 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Hi neighbors! Thanks to all of you who came out to East End Eden's Grand Opening party! It was a wonderful night, despite the threatening weather. Just wanted to let you all know that massage is an excellent way to ward off those winter blues. (It's also great for aches and pains, decreasing blood pressure, improving sleep, giving relief to fibromyalgia, improving skin tone, and much, much more.) And so I am offering a "winter special" for first time clients: $40 for a 1-hour massage! (Regular price is $60.) Offer is good through March 30, 2012. Book yours online today at: *www.E3MT.com*, and if you could just add a little note when you book that you saw this offer on the HP listserv, that'd be great. Hope to see you all at East End Eden Wellness Center soon. 6101 Penn Avenue, East Liberty (enter on Sheridan Ave side) Cheers! -- *e m i l y e s c a l a n t e * massage therapist www.E3MT.com + usana health sciences associate www.healthypgh.usana.com
