[Highland Park] Database experts resources
by Sherry Goldman 06 Jul '05

06 Jul '05

Are there any database experts out there, specifically who know Alpha 5, that can advise us on programming a database to keep track of contacts with a large number of students (many users at a time)? We know Access extremely well, but it does not seem to be suited to this purpose. We have used Filemaker and it is not sophistocated enough. We are considering purchasing Alpha 5, but are having dificulty learning how to program in it. Can anyone advise us or even suggest another program? Please reply to my programming assistant: Jason Wiltfeuer wiltfeuerj(a)duq.edu Thank you, Sherry Goldman

More than 65 of the original windows have already been completed, and more than 20 will be installed and on display when the building reopens. Visitors will also tour the former Sunday school wing, the focus of the Phase One Restoration, now recast as office space for area nonprofits and studios for artists.

Re: [Highland Park] more car vandalism
by LORIFRED9＠aol.com 02 Jul '05

02 Jul '05

To add to the car vandalism, please be reminded that there are people out to steal anything from your porch...including bikes and porch furniture. On Monday night very late, there were people seen riding around the HighlandPark neighborhood ( Wellesley and Farragut) in a white car ( Volvo?) with the trunk lid up filled with stolen porch furniture/ items. Sadly, my neighbors were victims of stolen porch furniture. So make sure your items are secured and be on the lookout for potential would-be thieves. If anyone has any other crime related incidents to report, please continue to post them so we know what is happening in our neighborhood. I am always disappointed to hear of vandalism and other crimes committed on our neighborhood, but I feel better knowing about them. Lori and Fred Rongier Farragut St

[Highland Park] porch repair
by Eliza Littleton 30 Jun '05

30 Jun '05

Hi Highland Park, I am seeking a carpenter who can repair the fascia on a large corner of my back porch roof. Can anyone recommend someone? I've contacted the people in the tradesperson's list and got no answers to voicemail, etc. Maybe the job's too small... Also, I could use some advice on whether/how to make the parties responsible for the damage to my porch roof accountable. A certain utilities company had a low-hanging drop wire attached to my porch roof, and a trucking company snagged it, resulting in the new, very visible "low-rent-look" to my home. The insurance company threw me less than a hundred bucks for the damage. So to sum up, can anyone help with: 1. carpenter recommendation, and/or 2. advice on handling property damage issues? Thanks, -Beth
