Lyme disease in Highland Park
by chris riley 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Please keep your pets current on their tick prevention meds. My dog tested positive for lyme disease at the vet today. I only walk her below the reservoir or down by the lake but there are a lot of trees and wooded areas down there where she could have been exposed. Please keep your pets and yourself safe. P.S. my dog is currently on antibiotics and seems in good spirits so hopefully she will be ok.

by Timothy Tocci 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

If anyone had had any stairs or retaining wall work done and were happy with who did the work I would appreciate getting their information. We need to have out lower set of stairs torn down and replaced and additionally would like to have the retaining wall on the sidewalk redone. If you had the work done to your home, and are willing to share your address, I would appreciate that information so that I might get a first hand look at quality and look of the completed project. thanks in advance. -- *It is not our differences that divide us.
