[Highland Park] HPCC meeting reminder
by Bob Staresinic 16 Sep '03

16 Sep '03

Thursday, September 18th is the annual meeting of the HPCC, where all members get to vote on electing new board members and officers. We will be electing 5 new board members, who are excited to be getting more involved in the HPCC. Please come out and attend this meeting. Although I am running unopposed as President, it would be nice to get a few votes! There is no program for this meeting, so it should not be a long one. Come and hear what the committees have been up to in the past year, and let's talk about what we can do in the coming year. I look forward to seeing you Thursday. Bob 931 Mellon Street 412-xxx-xxxx

You can also check out the Community Plan website to download latest drafts of the community plan final document, including portions handed out at the community festival: <http://www.highlandparkcommunity.com/> Don't forget, the discussion boards on the HPCP website are available for you to post opinions about the community plan or the general state of the community.

[Highland Park] Green Neighborhood Program
by Rudolph T Maceyko 30 Aug '03

30 Aug '03

There's a great program targetting our area right now to install energy-efficient sink aerators, shower heads, light bulbs and door-sweeps. CCI's program is funded by a grant and is *free* and not restricted based on income, although I gather that some of the services they recommend may have income restrictions. Check out their web site at: <http://www.ccicenter.org/> You can also pick up a flyer at the HPCC booth at the Reservoir of Jazz, or see a representative from CCI when they plan to visit the upcoming HPCC meetings. -Rudy GREEN NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM CCI's Green Neighborhood program wants to remind you that this fall the weather will be colder and gas prices will be higher. If you live within the 15206 ZIP code, CCI's Green Neighborhood can ease the pain with a free installation of energy-saving materials to make your home less drafty and lower your utility bills. Participants will also be referred to additional energy-saving, home repear, and social service programs for which they qualify. Call Kevin Brown 412-431-4449 x226 Conservation Consultants, Inc.

[Highland Park] Swim Team Update
by Rudolph T Maceyko 26 Aug '03

26 Aug '03

Clint Van Dusen came to the June Meeting representing the Highland Park Barracudas, a local swim team composed of children from East Liberty and Highland Park who swim at the Highland Park pool. Clint sought money to pay for team T-shirts, citing the fact that the team had none last year even though all of the other teams did. Clint arranged for Kress Shirts on Bryant Street to produce the shirts with a simple design. Several members of the club and community contributed money toward the shirts, and as a result, Clint was able to have 15 shirts printed. Clint said that Divehards International (a business owned by Highland Park residents) contributed generously. The swim meet was held on August 2nd. Unfortunately Clint does not know the final outcome, but the team did get their shirts. So what about next year? Well, the team's coach was one of the lifeguards laid off when the City closed most of its pools in early August. And Clint has been trying to convince the head lifeguard from the Highland Park pool to accompany him to ask for funding from Calvary Episcopal Church, but the remaining pool staff are uncertain whether the swim meet will even be held next year. If there is a meet next year, Clint says the team will need 40 shirts total (that's how many kids ended up on the team this year!), and Kress shirts told him that 40 shirts would cost $240. So if Clint is unable to get funding from his church, the team would need at least this much for shirts next year. If anyone would like to help Clint now (perhaps by talking with the head lifeguard at the Highland Park pool sometime this week on Clint's behalf, as he feels that having someone from Highland Park talk to them would strengthen his position), please call Clint at 412-xxx-xxxx. In the event that he is unable to get funding from his church in September or October, he will start looking for funds in May and would appreciate help (organizational as well as monetary) from the community.
