[Highland Park] Another renewable energy source: Green Eagle Green Energy Collaborative
by Megan Olson Hunt 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

Hello again, As a follow-up to my last email about Ambit Energy's wind-powered energy supply, another neighbor has told me about Citizen Power's "Green Eagle Green Energy Collaborative" plan. It appears to be lower than what we found from Ambit (Green Eagle: 7.1 cents/kwh for 12-month contract; cheaper for longer contracts), so you might want to consider this option too. I am not well-versed with the details of this plan/company (again - suggestion from another neighbor), so please read the details thoroughly yourself to make sure you're getting what you expect. The plan I'm talking about can be found at the very bottom of this page (second table): http://citizenpower.com/GEC/saveDuquesne.html Also note that the first table is a little deceiving: I believe the column titled "Price (per kWh)" is the LOWEST price that that company offers, NOT necessarily that associated w/ green energy. Also, the first table lists other companies w/ green options, so this helps you know where to look if you want to compare a few. Thanks to the people who responded to my first email letting me know they're making the switch - glad to hear it! Meg

[Highland Park] Cats Need a New Home
by Bob Staresinic 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Subject: Cats Lost Their Mom and Need a Home Dear Fellow Neighbors and Avid Pet Lovers(!), This is a rather urgent appeal for attention to some older felines in need of a home, or homes. A dear neighbor and friend of ours recently passed away after a four month battle with cancer and left her four precious kitties living with her Mom. Their home had been sold near the end of the year and her Mom is now moving out this week, but simply can't continue to care for her daughter's pets. There are four cats altogether, three males and one female, approximately from eight to ten years of age. All have been well fed and cared for and use indoor litter boxes. We're assured that all the kitties have been neutered/spayed, but have no information on inoculations or other testing. Charlie .is an off-white, spotted male cat who spends nearly all his time indoors, as do two of his comrades. He likes to hide in far corners of the house for long stretches, but is otherwise very personable and reputedly has an un-catty attraction to potato chips. Annabelle .is the lady of the house, a similarly colored female. She's a bit evasive to new company, but enjoys sunning herself on the front porch during warmer times of the year. Mia .the not so aptly named, is actually a male, slightly larger than his mates, white with grey spots. The only one of the troupe who spends significant time outdoors, he roams the local neighborhood by day but always returns for dinner and a relaxing lounge in the living room. Sammy .is a handsome, brown and black, tabby-patterned male with white feet and chest. He also spends nearly all his time indoors, with an occasional jaunt into the front yard when the weather warms. He was possibly his Mom's favorite and loves to cuddle in the evening, whether with human or feline. We are earnestly searching for any family or individual who might consider giving a home to one or more of these lovely kitties, given the difficulty of their circumstance. If anyone with such experience has any alternate suggestions for adoption, we'd also welcome the opportunity to discuss ideas. Please call one of us at the numbers below as soon as possible, if you have a place in your home. and heart. Thank you. Tony 412-215-5046 Tory 412-665-9020 Winterton Street, Highland Park
