[Highland Park] Garage door
by Susan Ryan 27 Mar '12

I am looking for recommendations for garage door replacement companies; we do not need a high-end door as we rarely use the garage but our old wood one is a sight and needs constant painting. Many thanks. --

[Highland Park] youth swimming at Kingsley Center
by Alexandra West 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

A number of you asked me to share the responses I got to my inquiry regarding the youth swimming program at the Kingsley Center. A number of the responses referenced a WQED segment focusing on the competitive swim team program. I found the spot on the web. Here's the link: http://diversityinaquatics.org/2010/10/coach-hosea-holder/ For those who might be interested, the next session of swim lessons starts April 7, and the deadline to register is this coming Friday, March 30. I don't know about the schedule for the competitive swim team. Here are the responses I got from people on the list: Both of my girls took various lessons there. No complaints. I have heard amazing things about Coach Holder from other families who have had kids in the program. I believe he was featured on wqed tv, you might google for that, they did a piece on the program. WQED actually did a special about the swimming coach at Kingsley - he's evidently a special man, been there a long time and is coaching the kids of kids he taught to swim. Lessons for young children actually depend upon who has been hired to teach them that session. You probably need to go look at the lessons and judge the teachers for yourself. I know one boy who taught who was excellent, but he has moved on, so I don't know who's teaching now. Kingsley is a place where teachers change whith who's available during that session. Can be great. Go observe and see if it's right for your child. The program is great! And the coach is awesome. My son swam there last year (he decided to quit in order to take karate). But it's a great place and you will love it.

by Michelle Wahila 26 Mar '12

This toy has balls that go through a maze. You hit the balls with the hammer. Worked well when my oldest was learning cause and effect but he no longer needs access to a hammer like this - especially with a little brother around. Free. Email if interested. Michelle

[Highland Park] Free hay for covering grass, etc.
by Megan Olson Hunt 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

Hello, We bought a bale of hay to put over our grass seed, but we didn't need all of it. There is a good amount of hay left - maybe 2/3 of the bale? If anyone was going to get some for your yard work, you're free to have this. You haul. Thanks, Meg
