			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Hello Prairie Hills neighbors,<em></em></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>MLK Day Peace March a Success</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Members of Memorial High School’s Black Student Union, accompanied by community members, marched through the Prairie Hills Neighborhood on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday January 16.  With chants of “peace,” “equality”, and “stop the violence,” the group convened at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church on McKenna, where Richard Harris, executive director of Vision Beyond Bars, challenged the youth to take control of their lives by making education a top priority.  Events such as this one raise visibility of the issues faced by today’s youth, and are the first step in creating positive change.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Update from the Prairie Hills Neighborhood Board</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The PHNA board met on Thurs. January 12.  In the works are continued recruitment of block captains, revitalizing the neighborhood watch program, updating the association’s logo, and planning for spring activities, including trash clean-ups and a general membership meeting to feature ideas on how best to interact with today’s youth.  Anyone who is interested in helping, or in bringing neighbors together, is urged to contact us at </span><a href="mailto:prairiehillsna@yahoo.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">prairiehillsna@yahoo.com</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">.  The board’s next meeting is on Thurs. Feb. 9, 6:30 pm, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1701 McKenna.  Meetings are open to Prairie Hills neighbors, if interested.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Interested in Neighborhood Safety?</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Our association vice president, Kevin Wymore, would like to start up a Prairie Hills Neighborhood Watch/Safety Committee based on the 9-house “know your neighbor” model.  Would you be interested in helping him out or getting involved?  If so, please contact Kevin at </span><a href="mailto:kevinw111657@gmail.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">kevinw111657@gmail.com</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Youth Group Offers to Help With Chores</span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Need someone to shovel snow, rake leaves, pull weeds?  The Wisconsin Youth Company youth group has 6th and 7th graders ready and willing to help.  Counselors will supervise the work and help negotiate the charges.  The goal is to help senior citizens with home upkeep while providing students with work experience.  To schedule some help, call Tony at 239-2846 or Kirsten at 445-8015</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Hammersley Leadership Group to Focus on Traffic</span></strong></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The Hammersley Leadership Group (made up of residents primarily from the Hammersley/Theresa/Betty’s/Lucy Lane area) has selected three traffic issues to focus on: speeding on Frisch Road, especially north of Hammersley; speeding and crossing problems on Hammersley; and speeding and traffic on Theresa.  The group is currently gathering data and developing a strategy for approaching the city’s traffic engineering department.  Residents from those three areas are invited to participate.  Contact Gloria at 288-8160.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Community Supper at Falk School Draws Interested Residents</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">The goal is to connect area residents with each other to develop community and to identify issues of concern, with an eye toward taking action to resolve issues.  Modeled on similar suppers in the Meadowood neighborhood, community members in cooperation with nurses from the Madison and Dane County Health Department organized a meal at Falk school’s auditorium on Tues. Dec. 6.  Participants had an opportunity to give voice to their top concerns in the neighborhood.  Ultimately, leaders will be identified from this group to coordinate action.  If you are interested in participating in this venture, please contact us at </span><a href="mailto:prairiehillsna@yahoo.com" target="_blank"><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">prairiehillsna@yahoo.com</span></a><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Winter Safety</strong></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:Times New Roman;">Now that we’ve finally got some snow, remember to keep your sidewalks cleared and to sand them if an ice layer forms, for pedestrian safety.  Did you know that the city places barrels filled with a salt/sand mixture at various intersections, for use by drivers if a street becomes slippery?  Also, residents are welcome to get sand from the parking lot at Elver Park for use on their home’s sidewalks.  For more info on winter, see the city’s website:  </span><a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/residents/winter/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;font-family:Times New Roman;">http://www.cityofmadison.com/residents/winter/</span></a></div>

<div>More than 100 residents from Prairie Hills and surrounding neighborhoods participated in a peace vigil on Tues.

<div><strong>Neighbors Participated in City Budget Talks</strong></div>
<div>Thanks so much to neighbors who submitted comments on the District 1 capital budget for the city of Madison.  Based partially on input from residents, a $900,000 proposal to purchase and rehabilitate a community center in the greater Elver Park area was withdrawn.  Provisional approval was given for a $700,000 spray park in the Park Ridge/Park Edge area, based on funding from the city’s general obligation fund and from park impact fees.  Resident opposition was based on the fact that the proposed spray park and community center do not directly address the district’s priority crime problems, and they add to an already overburdened tax base.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Planning for Next Year’s SW Farmer’s Market</strong></div>
<div>If convenient access to fresh, local food is important to you, please consider volunteering for the South West Farmer’s Market Workgroup.  This group will explore options for the best location for the farmer’s market in 2012, and will form a board of residents that will help govern the market.  For more information, please contact Amy Skora, student intern at Public Health, <a href="mailto:askora@publichealthmdc.com" target="_blank">askora@publichealthmdc.com</a> or <a href="608-243-0481" target="_blank">608-243-0481</a>.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><strong>Summary of Annual PHNA Membership Meeting</strong></div>
<div>A big thank-you to all who attended the Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association annual meeting on Sept. 22nd, and a special thanks to Leadership Greater Madison for the delicious treats and the door prizes.</div>
<div></div>
<div>The meeting was informative.  Chief Noble Wray talked about various factors that can cause problem neighborhoods:  lack of communication, transient non-connected residents, &#8220;broken windows&#8221; environment sends &#8220;no one cares&#8221; message, residents don&#8217;t take ownership/personal responsibility for where they live, density of low-income populations, drugs, gangs.  The take-home message is that we all need to be INVOLVED in our community.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Are you willing to take part in committees that address any of the following?  If so, please respond to this email and let us know!</div>
<div>            Safety Issues</div>
<div>            Promoting Attractive Homes &amp; Yards</div>
<div>            Issues for Older Residents</div>
<div>            Connect People Who Need Help With People Who Can Help</div>
<div>            Activities for Children &amp; Youth</div>
<div></div>
<div>After the police chief, representatives from Wisconsin Youth Company and the Meadowood Neighborhood Center talked about their programming.  We also introduced Brad Ware, the new Hammersley neighborhood police officer, and Ali Brooks, newly-appointed SW youth organizer (per a 2-year UW grant).</div>
<div></div>
<div>During a feedback session, those in attendance indicated they were not very interested in social events, but would like to know how to encourage neighbors to keep their properties up, how to deal with gangs of youth who make lots of noise and fight, and how to deal with lighting and trash issues.  Caveat:  the majority of those in attendance were older white folks, so these desires may not reflect everyone in the neighborhood.</div>
<div></div>
<div>Tania Banak was re-elected as president, and Sharon Whitney was elected as treasurer.  Kevin Wymore stepped up to fill the vacant vice president role until the 2012 election.  Gloria Meyer will continue as secretary.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>SW Safety Meeting Scheduled for Nov. 9</strong></div>
<div>Join the West Police District for a South West Safety Meeting at 7 pm on Wed. Nov. 9, at Memorial High School, 201 S Gammon Rd.  This will be a general listening session where people can voice their concerns to command staff of the West Police District and can consider solutions to problems.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Prairie Hills Board to Meet Nov. 10</strong></div>
<div>The next meeting of the Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association board will be held on Thurs. Nov. 10.  Interested residents are welcome to join the board at 6:30 pm, at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1701 McKenna (please call 278-1093 to confirm location).</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Prairie Hills Now on Facebook</strong></div>
<div>If Facebook is your favorite way to stay in touch with friends, please consider “liking” the new Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association Facebook page.  <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Prairiehillsna" target="_blank">http://www.facebook.com/Prairiehillsna</a> It’s a great way to receive current event announcements, or to share neighborhood event photos with neighbors.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Donate Winter Coats to Needy Neighbors</strong></div>
<div>Good Shepherd Lutheran Church (Whitney Way &amp; Raymond Road) is conducting a drive for gently used adult winter coats.  They will distribute the coats to neighborhood residents who need them.  So far, they have collected 50 coats, but have received 200 requests for coats.  Coats can be left on the rack in the church lobby.  Special thanks to Best Cleaners in Meadowood Shopping Center for cleaning the coats prior to distribution.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Keep Leaves Out of Streets to Save Our Lakes</strong></div>
<div>Fall has arrived!  Which means it’s time to deal with falling leaves.  Remember, pile leaves on your property terrace, NOT in the streets.  Because decomposed leaves in the streets drain into the city sewer system, and end up in our lakes.  And become pollution that creates algae in our lakes over the summer.  For more information about fall leaf pick-ups, see <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/streets/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.cityofmadison.com/streets/</span></a>  To obtain yard signs or brochures, visit <a href="http://www.myfairlakes.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">www.myfairlakes.com</span></a> or call 224-3746.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Community Garden Expansion</strong></div>
<div>Grants are available from the Madison Community Foundation to start up new community gardens or enhance existing ones.  Applications are due by Jan. 13, 2012.  To learn more, see <a href="http://www.cacscw.org/garden_grants.php" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.cacscw.org/garden_grants.php</span></a>  Check out their informative link on “how to start a new garden.”  Donations to the New Garden Project are also welcome.  For more info, contact Chris Brockel at 246-4730, ext. 206 or email at <a href="mailto:chrisb@cacscw.org" target="_blank">chrisb@cacscw.org</a>.</div>
<div></div>
<div><strong>Services for Seniors</strong></div>
<div>South West Madison Triad offers safety information and much more for area seniors.  Recently, they held a FREE winter automobile safety inspection for seniors to make sure their cars were ready for winter.  Does this type of information interest you?  If so, contact RSVP at 441-7897 or <a href="mailto:mstamstad@rsvpdane.org" target="_blank">mstamstad@rsvpdane.org</a> to be placed on their email list.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello Prairie Hills neighbors,</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Please Attend Our 9/22 PHNA Membership Meeting</strong></div>
<div>Neighborhood SOLUTIONS is the theme of our Thurs. Sept. 22 Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association membership/election meeting.  Please mark your calendar, and tell your neighbors!  The meeting will be from 7-8:30 pm at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church, 1701 McKenna Blvd., in the Community Room.  Police Chief Noble Wray is the keynote speaker, plus we’ll be introducing folks who are making a positive difference in our neighborhood.  Spread the word, as not everyone is on this email list, or has a block captain assigned.</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Leaf Collection Begins October 3</strong></div>
<div>Fall is in the air, and leaves will soon be falling to the ground.  Please do NOT pile leaves in the street!  Place them on the terrace (land between the street and sidewalk) instead, so that nutrients that create algae don’t leak into our lakes, and so that drains don’t get clogged and flood our streets.  For more specifics/instructions, see:  <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/streets/yardWaste/leaf/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.cityofmadison.com/streets/yardWaste/leaf/</span></a></div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Meadowood Neighborhood Center Update</strong></div>
<div>To see what’s been happening at the Meadowood Neighborhood Center, please go to <a href="http://www.mscr.org/" target="_blank">www.mscr.org</a> and click on the Meadowood Neighborhood Center link on the side of the page.  The Center has partnered with Wisconsin Youth Company to find ways to end the girl-fighting and drama that has occurred in the Meadowood and Prairie Hills neighborhoods this summer.  Check out their newsletter to see how they’re doing this!</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Lucy Lincoln Hiestand Park has New Sign!</strong></div>
<div>A huge <strong>thank you</strong> to the City of Madison Parks Department for putting up a sign to identify Lucy Lincoln Hiestand Park on Frisch Road, just south of Jacob’s Way!  The sign is beautiful, and now whenever we have events in the park, attendees will know without a doubt that they are in the right place!</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Madison Parks – “Big Rig” Event on Sept. 17</strong></div>
<div>Fire engines…dump trucks…front loaders…skid steers…tractors&#8230;if these are things your kids love, bring them to a new Madison Parks event on Sat. Sept. 17 from 9 am to 12 noon.  For details, visit <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/parks/kids/BigRigGig.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.cityofmadison.com/parks/kids/BigRigGig.cfm</span></a></div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Transportation Congestion Meetings on Sept. 29 &amp; Oct. 5</strong></div>
<div>Are you interested in regional transportation planning, especially as it relates to congestion of area roadways, bus service, or bicycle and pedestrian options?  A draft report is available at:  <a href="http://www.madisonareampo.org/planning/documents/Madison_CMP_Report_110912_Summary.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.madisonareampo.org/planning/documents/Madison_CMP_Report_110912_Summary.pdf</span></a>  You may also attend a public information session on Sept. 29, 5-7 pm with presentation at 5:45 pm, City-County Building, 210 MLK Jr Blvd, Room 354.  Or a public hearing on Oct. 5, 7 pm, City-County Building, Room 351.</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Meadowridge Library Book Sale</strong></div>
<div>On Sat. Oct. 8, from 10 am to 1 pm, Friends of the Meadowridge Branch Library will host a book sale.  Take this opportunity to buy some great books for great prices, and also to introduce a friend to the library or to renew your membership.</div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Update from Toki Middle School</strong></div>
<div>School is back in session, and Toki’s principal, Nicole Schaefer, is eager to work with the neighborhood to build a positive school community.  Check out their website at <a href="http://www.tokiweb.madison.k12.wi.us/" target="_blank">www.tokiweb.madison.k12.wi.us</a>  If you’d like to help, tutor/mentoring opportunities are available by contacting the school’s Youth Resource Coordinator, Sarah Wright, at 204-4763 or <a href="mailto:sdwright79@gmail.com" target="_blank">sdwright79@gmail.com</a></div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Stormwater Newsletter</strong></div>
<div>The city continues to maintain greenways in the area, and you can read more about that and other stormwater issues in the September newsletter:  <a href="http://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/stormwater/documents/NewsletterSEP2011.pdf" target="_blank"><span style="color:#800080;">http://www.cityofmadison.com/engineering/stormwater/documents/NewsletterSEP2011.pdf</span></a></div>
<div><BR></div>
<div><strong>Fresh, Local Produce</strong></div>
<div>Remember that the South West Farmer’s Market is CLOSE by every Wed. from 3-7 pm.  Pick up veggies, baked goods, and more at the Orchard Ridge Church of Christ at Tolman and Gilbert Roads.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hello Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association Members!</p>
<p>On Thurs. 9/22, your association will hold its annual membership meeting. In addition to some GREAT speakers we have planned for you, our bylaws require that we hold elections at this meeting. Can you help us out with some nominations?</p>
<p>In odd-numbered years (like this year), the president and treasurer are elected. In even-numbered years, we elect the vice president and secretary.</p>
<p>Running for election this year are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tania Banak &#8211; President</li>
<li>Sharon Whitney &#8211; Treasurer</li>
</ul>
<p>Due to health reasons, Tania would love to turn the reins over to another individual who believes in connected community and who would be willing to run the organization. So, we welcome nominations! Please forward names and contact info for individuals whom you&#8217;d like to nominate (including yourself!) no later than Tues. Sept. 20.</p>
<p>We are also currently without a vice president, and would love to find an individual willing to serve in that role. Need more information? Just ask! Thanks so much for your continued support.</p>
<p>Tania Banak, President<br />
Prairie Hills Neighborhood Association<br />
