[Highland Park] Camera repair?
by Megan Branning 21 May '08

21 May '08

Can anyone recommend a place to fix my digital camera? I dropped it and the door on the battery compartment cracked. I took it to a place downtown and they quoted me a ridiculous amount, and now they are giving me the run-around, so I am not going to use them. If anyone knows a trustworthy place that won't overcharge me, please let me know. Thank you.

[Highland Park] Save Schenley High School Petition
by WILLIAMS, NATHANIEL CTR DFAS 21 May '08

21 May '08

This is a letter I sent to the Board of Education concerning Schenley Hello, My name is Nathaniel E. Williams, I was a Student of Schenley High 1982 to 1984 (2 Years) 9th and 10th Grade. I love Schenley, even now after so many years. I am making the following recommendations. As of this time: Peabody has 456 Students and Westinghouse has 338 Students, why can't you combine these two schools, and close one (Westinghouse) This will cut operation expenses for that building, which can be left to invest into Schenley. Also, as of this time: R. L. Vann has 256 Students and Miller has 329 Students., why can't you combine those schools, and close one. (Whichever will hold more students and staff). Also, here in Cleveland Ohio we have what we call Small Schools. Example: John Hay High School here in Cleveland, Ohio has 3 Different schools within one building. Each floor totaling 3, has a different school, with their own Principal, V. Principals, Teachers, support staff etc. Then we have 1 person whom we call the Campus Administrator, see Illustration below: JOHN HAY HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS SMALL SCHOOLS Cleveland School of Science & Medicine Edward Weber, Principal Cleveland School of Architecture & Design Tianna Maxey, Principal Cleveland Early College High School Nicole Henry-Mack, Principal Kenneth Hale, Campus Administrator Grades: 9-12 Hours: 8:00 a.m. - 2:53 p.m. Phone: (216) 229-0232 Fax: (216) 229-0072 School Code: 5284 Ward: 6 That's the set up for that campus, and we have 3 other such like High schools. And mind you each of these small schools house 250 to 350 students each In one building. You could free up a lot of money if you condense the student population into the larger high schools, and the same with the elementary schools. If enrollment is dropping then this would be the perfect time to close some of the poor performing schools, and those with student populations under 400. Capa, Carrick, Langley, Oliver, Perry aren't even at capacity. Peabody itself can accommodate 1200 students but only has 465, that's a 735 student difference Perry can accommodate about 1100 students but only has 814, that's a 286 student difference Westinghouse can accommodate 1000 students, but only has 338, that's a 662 student difference Brashear can accommodate up to 2000 students, but only has 1057, that's a 943 student difference Do you get it, close poor performing schools, combine schools, and there you have at lease 100 million dollars to do what needs to be done. You closed Margaret Millions years ago, and it was not even 50 years old. Nathaniel E. Williams Lockheed Martin/DFAS Cleveland Center Lead Military Pay Technician/TASO GP II - VA/Unique Dept.

[Highland Park] Lost Cat Update
by Katherine Smith 21 May '08

21 May '08

Frustratingly I still haven't found Stuey. He's a black short-haired cat about ten pounds with yellow eyes. There have been several spottings of a black cat on King Ave. I've been going to King Ave. every day and calling for him, but he is either not there, or doesn't want to come. My general walks about the neighborhood haven't produced any luck either. I went to the Animal Resuce League yesterday to see if anybody had turned him in because they said that the best way is to actually come and look to be sure. I also filed a lost cat notice with animal friends but they haven't gotten back to me. I didn't see him, although there are a surprising number of cats that look like him at first glance! They said that the best way to get him to come back is to not leave food out because he will come back when it is hungry. Has anybody who leaves food outside for an outdoor cat noticed a different cat eating from there as well? People keep telling me it is most likely that somebody is feeding him at this point. As always if you have any information please call me at 412-352-5839 or e-mail me at krsmith414(a)gmail.com Thank you so much to everyone who has called and e-mailed with tips. They've been really encouraging.

[Highland Park] Elderly Care
by jennifer pappas 20 May '08

20 May '08

I am looking for help on behalf of my parents who are caring for my 90 year old grandmother. We are looking for someone who can supplement the current care she is receiving; some evening and weekend hours and some overnights during weekends. My grandmother suffered a massive stroke two years ago and needs help with basic functions; very limited walking (with a walker), getting dressed and basic care. Additionally there would be a dog at the home (6 year old beagle) who would also needs the basics of being cared for at the same time (being fed, going in the fenced backyard, etc.) If you are someone that has worked and cared for the elderly or disabled or know of someone you could recommend, my family and I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks for your time. I can be reached at pappasjennifer(a)gmail.com Jennifer Pappas --
