[Highland Park] Political sign in the park
by Bill Bollendorf 29 Oct '04

29 Oct '04

As entered Highland Park today for my peaceful morning walk, I was greeted by two large signs, both hand-painted on plywood with orange paint, the color commonly used in the construction industry. The first sign reads " One way" with an arrow pointing to the right. The second sign says " Vote Bush". My perception, which my be incorrect, is that they were put there by the contractor who is working on the fountain area. I called the DPW at 255-2365 to complain about it. Perhaps if they hear from a few of us they will remove it. Bill Bollendorf Galerie Macondo 5536 Bryant St. Pittsburgh, PA 15206 412-661-1498 www.artshaitian.com

[Highland Park] Copper Thieves !!!
by Brett Day 21 Oct '04

21 Oct '04

I just got a note from a good friend that just (in the last few weeks) moved into the neighbourhood. Last night, someone broke into his basement, and stole all the copper piping. He is currently without heat and water. Thought you might like to be alerted so you could double check that basement door. Cheer Brett

Can anyone recommend appliance repair people? Our dishwasher isn't working right. We used to use A-1, and then they got uncooperative. Beechwood Electric is out of business. I'll forward your suggestions on to the contractors list. Sherry Goldman

[Highland Park] Kentucky Avenue School Open House Nov. 10
by Karen Kasper 20 Oct '04

20 Oct '04

Hello all, Kentucky Avenue School (KAS) in Shadyside is having an Open House on Wednesday, November 10 at 7:00 pm. KAS is a K-8 private elementary school located in the 3rd Presbyterian Church at the corner of Negley and Fifth Avenue. It was founded when McEwan School closed in June of 2002. A group of teachers and parents got together, determined to save the school they loved so much, and opened its doors only 2 months later in the same site, with the same staff. This year's kindergarten has a waiting list but there are spaces in most of the other grades, and in next year's kindergarten class. Tuition is very reasonable and financial aid is available. I am a member of the KAS Board of Trustees and parent of a kindergartener and a fourth grader there. My husband and I love the small classes (10 to 12 per grade), individual attention, and creative, warm, learning environment that our kids experience at Kentucky Avenue School. Our sons are doing great both academically and socially, and we have formed a wonderful community bond with the teachers and other parents. If you have elementary school children, we hope you will attend our Open House on Wednesday November 10. You can tour the school, talk with teachers and parents, and attend a presentation by Dr. Brian Horvath, our Head of School. Hors d'oeuvres and wine will be served. Reservations are not required. Call KAS at 412-361-5332 or stop by any time to learn more about the school or the Open House. You can also visit our website at www.kentuckyavenue.org - it's currently fairly basic but a redesign will be completed by mid-December. The school entrance is on Kentucky Avenue. Take Negley Avenue south (toward Shadyside) from Highland Park and turn left onto Kentucky, which is one block before Fifth Avenue. The school entrance is on the right. Thanks for your interest, and I hope to see you on November 10th! Karen Kasper North Saint Clair Street ===== Karen Kasper "Only the educated are free."

[Highland Park] Walk in the Park
by Rudolph T Maceyko 19 Oct '04

19 Oct '04

Hello Highland Park neighbors, Please join me for a walk in the park tomorrow evening from 6:30 to 8:00 pm. We will cover 1-2 miles of park terrain and will stop briefly in several areas of the park to talk about what's going on there. Meet at the park entrance just before 6:30 pm. We'll be on the right as you enter from North Highland Avenue. This free "Weekly Walk in the Woods" is sponsored by Venture Outdoors. There is a walk like this one in one of Pittsburgh's four main parks each Wednesday during the summer and early fall. The walks are also held during the winter, but on a monthly basis instead of weekly. It is customary to end up at Enrico's Tazza D'Oro afterward for a warm cup of tea or coffee (but this is not required :-) The temperature is expected to be in the 50's so dress accordingly! Oh, and check out the website for Venture Outdoors to see what they're about; they promote outdoor recreation by offering many different outdoor events ranging from easy ones like this to canoing and even wilderness survival. They're looking for new members right now: <http://www.ventureoutdoors.org/> Rudy
