FREE: Ball maintenance kit & Samsung screen protector
by Stephanie Walsh 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

See pictures 1. The ball protector mnt kit I got for my now dead exercise ball, but it's intended for soccer balls and perhaps would work with other sport balls. It includes an air pressure gauge, 3 metal needles, and a carry case; the inflating pump is missing. 2. The screen protector is for a Samsung Galaxy S10. It includes the tempered glass screen protector (never used) and a tool for cleaning the screen; it's missing the glue, which leaked and was absorbed by the instructions (which I have and that are legible). The glue didn't get on the screen protector which is still like new.

highland park open air police firing range: a public health issue
by Joy 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

dear neighbors, i walked the dog again this week amid gunfire from assault weapons at the police firing range. last friday, after lighting candles for sabbath, i walked at sunset to the sound of assault rifles being fired at the range. recently a beloved friend in our community died of gun suicide. i walked out my front door into the sound of gunfire on the morning of her burial. schoolteachers live in our neighborhood. they are regularly in active shooter drills, rushing students into closets and behind tables in advance of a possible mass shooting. but they live in their homes, in highland park, amid gunfire (you can hear it even with windows shut) and are supposed to ignore it. the children in active shooter drills must freeze, pay attention, and act to save their lives in a potential mass shooting. yet they are expected to endure, or somehow tune out, the very sounds they are being conditioned to respond to at school. many in our neighborhood have trauma associated with gunfire, but you don’t have to have directly experienced a gun related tragedy to be affected by the sound of guns. science shows that residents of neighborhoods that hear regular gunfire are affected by community trauma.* it is a public health issue. highland park has the only open air police firing range in a residential neighborhood in north america. there's a reason no other neighborhood has one: *it's wrong. * the range was put up in sophie masloff's mayoral administration (masloff served from 1988-94) without public hearing or consent. *there is a firing range in north park the force can use.* our precinct's reason for not using it is “scheduling.” will the police explain their scheduling problem to the parents getting texts from CAPAstudents in lockdown? to people who have immigrated to our neighborhood from countries at war — probably expecting to hear birds, dogs barking, and other everyday sounds—and instead are subject to gunfire? to neighbors who were at tree of life synagogue in october 4 years ago during the mass shooting? to the asian american and pacific islandar neighbors affected by the shootings in atlanta and in monterey park? to all our residents who have lost children or friends to gun violence? *the open air police firing range is a public health issue.* *it was built without community consent.* for three decades, the police force has been using the range. their reports to our community council say there are plans to enclose the range but it's "too expensive." if it's too expensive, the force must use the north park range and shut the highland park range until there is money to fully enclose it. *it's time to shut the open air highland park police firing range until it is fully enclosed. * an open air police firing range should never have been built here. *no other neighborhood has one, and we don't deserve one.* if you agree, and would like to sign a petition to deb gross and the mayor, i volunteer to bring one around. thank you for listening, joy *“Distress Level and Daily Functioning Problems Attributed to Firearm Victimization: Sociodemographic-Specific Responses,” Annals of Epidemiology, December 6, 2019, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annepidem.2019.12.002 -- <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annepidem.2019.12.002> <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.annepidem.2019.12.002>

Concert on Feb 4rth
by bma1＠mac.com 02 Feb '23

02 Feb '23

We are THRILLED to announce our FIRST Highland park house concert of the year – a minor miracle given the last few years. And we are hoping for better luck this year (given 2/4 from ’22 were cancelled). We have about 5 seats left so let us know!!! The concert is February 4 FROM 7-10 PM Our artist is Matt Moran – his CD from last year was probably my favorite Matt Moran is a regionally know alt-country singer-songwriter with 300+ shows and a full US tour under his belt.He is currently promoting his first full-fledged album Heartache Kidreleased May 2022 as a follow up to his 2020 acoustic album "Black Sheep."The "Heartache Kid" album has made Saving Country Music's list of "Most Anticipated Albums in 2022" and Outsider.com<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…>'s list of "Best Albums of May 2022."Heartache Kid is a ten track album that explores what Moran calls "existential country." The songs cover the topics of love ("Wait"), death ("Black Sedan"), sobriety ("Tequila or Me"), and the collapse of the American Dream ("This Can't Be It").Influences for the album include Jason Isbell, John Moreland, and Counting Crows. Moran describes the sound of the album as "a country kid that grew up on 90s alt-rock."Moran is a completely DIY outfit from recording to booking to press; all aspects are handled by himself. An example of his work is song "Rodeo Clown" that you can download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16T6TwwxsqAYtdJ3GGDDcaB8PwclXLCFE/view?usp=…<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?…> If you are interested please email me for information The timing of the evening is from 630-10 ish. Between 630-730 pm, there will be some snacks from Food Glorious Food (mostly desserts) and a place for kids (see more about that below) to play outside. There also will be an air hockey tournament while they are getting set up. The concert will start promptly at 7:30 pm. Other details: 1. Safety is first. Thus, we ask that people who come are vaccinated. Masking is great but not required. 2. We will have a bit of drinks and snacks but are really open to people bringing other things they want to share! 3. So everyone can enjoy the concert, please only bring kids over 10 years old or if they can be quiet and really attend to the concert. Once the concert starts the only focus will be on the amazing musicianship. 4. After the concert we will be asking for donations. It is their livelihood so please come prepared to give. 5. Space is somewhat limited (as are chairs!) WE FILLED UP FOR THE LAST CONCERT So please rsvp to Bob (bma1(a)mac.com<mailto:bma1@mac.com>) so we have some idea of how many people are coming. 6. After the concert if people are up for it, we will start a fire and make s’mores!
