Prayer Request Follow UP
Earlier this year a Request For Prayers was posted on this blog on behalf of Highland Meadows neighbors Chad and Julie Jordison and their families.
As many of you may already know, Julie was critically ill with HELLP Syndrome. We are pleased to report that Julie has experienced a miraculous recovery and is now home, and she and new born daughter Breanna Joy are doing fine.
Julie "would like to sincerely thank everyone for your thoughts and prayers through this time of hardship for me and my family"
Please continue to pray that Julie's organs continue to heal, that her blood pressure can be controlled, and that her energy level increases.
Neighborhood Gathering
Due to the overwhelming support that they received from the neighborhood during her hospital stay, Chad and Julie have decided to plan a Highland Meadows neighborhood barbecue. They have chosen the date of Saturday, Sept. 18th from 1-4 p.m. at the Trac A ballfield. Chad and Julie will be providing hot dogs, chips, pop, and cake. They have also rented a large 25 ft. blow up slide for the kids (or adults). They will be posting signs a week in advance. They are hoping for great weather and a large turnout. MARK YOUR CALENDARS !

RACCOON WASTE - HEALTH ALERT
A recent article in the Bellingham Herald has called to our attention that raccoon droppings pose a serious health hazard. Since Highland Meadows is known to have a raccoon population, this posting is appropriate.
In summary, many raccoons have roundworms in their intestines which produce millions of eggs, which are passed on in the raccoon's feces. Those hardy eggs can take hold inside people and cause fatal brain infections. The bottom line is is to make your home less tempting to raccoons. Keep a tight lid on garbage and your sandbox. Don't leave pet food and water outside at night. Clean up seed debris from your bird feeders. Plug gaps or holes to keep raccoons out. Below is a link to the original article. Please read it.

- 100 gallon propane tank FULL weighing in at 1,000 pounds

Suspicious Activity - Solicitation
This afternoon about 4:30 p.m., a woman was canvassing the neighborhood for TriState Roofing and Seattle's Best Home Improvements. She was observed standing for several minutes looking at houses and taking notes, then having conversations on her cell phone. She was approached and asked if she needed any help, but said she was soliciting business for roofs and siding. She was told that this was a "no solicitation" neighborhood and that there was a sign stating that at the front entrance. She said she did not come through the front entrance. When asked what entrance she came through, she became defensive. She did not drive here, but was dropped off and picked up in a white van. Later a check of the neighborhood revealed that very few flyers had been left.
This may have been a legitimate solicitation effort. But it is strongly urged that we all are extra vigilant for the next couple of weeks. Lock your car doors and do not leave valuables in view in your vehicles overnight. Pick up your mail. Keep an eye out in the neighborhood and report any suspicious activity (call 911) immediately, then report to your Block Watch person.
