Albertson's Deal Back On

The Wall Street Journal reported today that the 9.6 Billion Dollar purchase by Supervalu and a consortium of private equity investors is progressing again. When the Albertson's on NW Highway is gone, let's hope someone quickly moves in and the area is not deserted. If Kroger moves their store to this location, then the Kroger store on NW highway may sit empty for a while.

Lake Highlands Elementary

January 12, 2006

Dear Lake Highlands Elementary Parent,

I am writing to let you know about an incident that took place this morning off of school property that involved two LHE students.

As they were walking to school, the students were followed and harassed by strangers in a white Cadillac. The students were not harmed, nor approached on foot. As they are taught, the students did not interact with the strangers, continued to school and reported the incident to school staff.

RISD’s safety coordinator, Mr. Luther Robertson, and the Dallas Police Department were notified and are looking into the incident.

This is an excellent time to again reinforce the safety lessons we continually teach our students.

· If walking to or from school, walk with a parent or responsible adult when possible.
· Walk in groups, and take a path to school that avoids alleys and deserted or enclosed places.
· Do not interact with strangers, or accept anything from them.
· If anything out of the ordinary occurs on the way to school, report it to a staff member or parent immediately.

Please let me take this opportunity to again assure you that the safety and security of our students is our top priority.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

New Bar Defeated!

Attention Lake Highlands Residents,
Thank you to all residents who sent letters to Bill Avery and to residents who sent comments to the LHAIA about the specific use permit for an Alcoholic Beverage Establishment use to be used as a Club/Bar at the shopping center on Skillman/Audelia/Adleta. On Thursday, December 15, the Planning and Zoning Commission did hear the case for this establishment. Even though City Staff recommended approval, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to deny the applicant request for the specific use permit for an Alcoholic Beverage Establishment use to be used as a Club/Bar at this location. The vote was 14-0. Again, thank you to all residents who sent in letters and for helping to improve and protect the quality of life that we all value in Lake Highlands.
Kindest Regards,
Sean Christopher
Executive Vice President
