HICO HERO HIGHLIGHTS HUMANITIES
Wendy Joesph, a HICO debutante worked really hard to help make this project happen.....
The Mass Foundation for the Humanities has granted The Highlands Coalition $10,000 as the primary supporter for their 2012 Youth Workshop project, called “The Meaning of The Highlands neighborhood today.”
With over $50,000 of donated labor and time by The Project Team a few lucky Youth drawn from Coalition partners Girls Inc. and Lynn Community Health Center’s KAYA Youth Program will take a 9 month-long journey of awareness that will culminate in a presentation of certificates of completion, a $100 stipend, and a celebration of Film and Art at Girls’ Inc. in September of 2012.
The Project Team will be collaborating with The Lynn Museum who will be a resource for valuable materials, support as a venue for viewing the film, and as a partner for future exhibits incorporating the project.
The Youth will be engaged with classes on Lynn’s rich Immigration history, interview skills and video production and then will experience The Highlands story by gathering histories from Immigrants from Russia, Greece, Iraq, Nigeria as well as many Latin countries.
The Youth will then create a completed film with visual art and dance to express their new understanding and appreciation of their place within Lynn’s rich ongoing Immigrant experience.
The Highlands Coalition would like to thank Mass Humanities for their sponsorship which will enrich our Youth and create a film able to be viewed at varied locations which will benefit all the Citizens of Lynn for some time to come!
"This program is funded in part by Mass Humanities, which receives support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and is an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities."

LET THERE BE LIGHT
I was listening to an old Bruce Springsteen song on the car radio, "DANCING IN THE DARK" and my wife reminded me we have been dancing in the dark for a couple of months up here in the HIGHLANDS. It seems that the only light the streetlight on the corner of Rock Ave. and Hollingsworth sees is the light of day.
It seems to me this should be a big safety concern. The inauguration's over (I know cause I was there). Now it's time to get down to running the city. It's no longer a battle of who's the best man for the job cause you guys, you got the job.
I don't know nothing about any etiquette or turf wars over who knows whose Ward it's in. All I know is it's dark at night, I can't see any precinct lines on the streets.
