Hello all, This Tuesday, March 11, Pittsburgh City Council President Doug Shieldswill introduce the Will of Council (attached below) supporting thelost/stolen gun legislation that CeaseFire PA is attempting to pass in the state. As you know, I am organizing folks in this area to work with CeaseFire to help reduce gun violence in our neighborhoods.

Please let me know if you can come so I can inform President Shields' chief of staff Call me with any questions: home 412.361.1888 or 412.370.3778 Details on Tuesday afternoon press conference: WHERE: In front of City Council Chambers, Fifth Floor Lobby, City County Building, 414 Grant Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 WHEN: 1:00 pm Public Comment will probably begin about 1:30 and we would like to have a significant presence there.

[Highland Park] Family Doctors List
by Olga Watkins 06 Mar '08

06 Mar '08

Hello everyone. Here is a list of the family doctor recommendations that were sent to me. Thanks to all for your help! It's nice to know we have so many good docs to chose from in the area! East Liberty Family Health was the most recommended of all the doctors offices with about 10, Metro Family practice in Wilkinsburg was second with 2. Below are the other comments and suggestions. 1. I like John Lagnese and his office is in the industrial park right off of Rt. 28. http://www.rfpdoctors.com/locations_detail.asp?id=8 2. East Liberty Family Health Care Center is the best (across from Home Depot). 412-661-2802. 3. Premier Pediatrics in Penn Hills Click here to check them out. Our pediatrician is Dr. Gloria Romero, but we have seen all the doctors there and they are all really good. The only drawback is they are not particularly close...they used to have an office in Oakland but now everyone has to go to Penn Hills 4. have been using Dr Stanley May for about 20 years. I ADORE him, but not all the other docs in his practice. He is located in Bloomfield on Liberty Ave. His number is 412-682-3139, 412-682-3117. 5. Kenneth Ung up on Jancey Street has been my family doctor for many years and while there is nothing really wrong with me, I feel he has been a wonderful doctor to see. Very kind. Nurse Ruth is the best... you can call in and she reassures you you just have the same flu as everyone else! 412 661 1993 6. I highly recommend Ellen Dillinger on Aiken Ave in Shadyside 7. Metro Family Practice in Wilkinsburg is very good. Their number is 412-247-2310 8. Ben Skinker, Lives on Stanton Avenue and work at Shadyside Family Health Center 5215 Centre Avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa 15232, (412) 623-2287 9. our female pediatrician just moved above Trader Joe's -- her name is Kim Ogle and she is the seasoned mom of teens. 10. my dr is Dr. Bernacki in greenfield; he is worth the drive 412-422-6500 www.olgawatkins.com www.myspace.com/soulkitchenband Olga Watkins, Diva 412-716-5119 Go ahead...Google me. Ich Chef. Du Nix. Now, get out.

[Highland Park] Rabbit
by Charlotte McDivitt 05 Mar '08

Did someone lose a white, long-haired bunny? We spotted one in our yard, near Highland, but when we attempted to get close, it hopped away. Never saw one like it in the wild before, thus we suspect it belongs to someone.
