[Highland Park] yet another lost cat update
by Katherine Smith 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I just wanted to let everyone know that Stuey is still missing. I have posters all around the neighborhood with his picture but they are starting to fall off now. He is all black and around 10 or 12 pounds, very long and slim. His eyes are actually yellow and he doesn't have a collar. There have been a bunch of sitings on Cordova right by King Ave, but this cat is older and has an owner. This cat is long and slim, but he has a bunch of grey hairs, and Stuey hardly has any white hairs. There have also been numerous of sitings on the 900-1000 block of a small black cat, which I have no yet seen, but when I went to investigate and was asking around they said there was a black cat who lived in the backyard by the tatoo parlour and that cat was female and had kittens, so it's probably one of them, but you never know. The latest siting was this morning at Mellon and Wellsley in the backyard of a yelllow house by the dog grooming place, so if anyone is around that area please keep a look out. The person who called me said the cat was responsive when he called Stuey, so it's a possibility. Unfortunately I was at work, so I couldn't come and investigate. I just wanted to keep everyone updated and again thanks so much for everyone's help! if you have any information my phone # is 412-352-5839 and my e-mail is krsmith414(a)gmail.com

[Highland Park] Parish News
by Bruce Robison 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

Friends and all of us around the parish and Highland Park neighborhood will be glad to hear that former St. Andrean and Highland Parker (Wayne Road) John Scott (grandson of the late Phil MacLachlan, also a St. Andrean and Highland Parker) was recently promoted to the rank of Colonel, U.S. Army, in a ceremony at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center, in Washington, D.C. His mom and dad, our good friends Celinda and Barry, of Indiana, Pennsylvania, attended the ceremony and brought back a copy of the program, which I've posted on the bulletin board by the Parish Hall entry. Barry's present assignment is as pediatric cardiologist and as Medical Director of the Quality Management Division at Walter Reed. I know we all remember holding John --and of course Mette, and their kids Soren, Christoffer, and Sofie--so much in our prayers especially during his deployment to Iraq at the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003. His awards include the Bronze Star, the Meritorious Service Medal (with one oak leaf cluster), and the Army Commendation Medal (with one oak leaf cluster. He was also awarded the Hoff Memorial prize for clinical research and is a graduate of the AMEDD Oficer Advanced Course, and the Command and General Staff College. So: a prayer of thanksgiving at this time for John's service to our country, for his leadership in the care of our returning troops, and for the life and ministry he and his family have shared with us at St. Andrew's and in the neighborhood.

[Highland Park] New Restaurant
by McPeak, Jennifer L. 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

My first post had the wrong street! It is Bellefonte, not Copeland! A new restaurant opened in Shadyside called Pangea. It is on Bellefonte Street (where the old Pasta Piatta was). We went there this weekend and it was great. They are open for lunch and dinner, Tues-Sun. The website is Pangea-Shadyside.com. They told me that the website is going to be updated soon, but the menu will not change substantially. It may not be a *Highland Park* restaurant, but it is still a new East End business, opened by local Pittsburgh people, so support it!! If you are out and about in Shadyside, go in for lunch, a drink, tapas, dinner, etc. Our meals were wonderful!!

[Highland Park] Seems the Yard Sale was successful
by Bob Staresinic 01 Jun '08

01 Jun '08

I know a lot of maps were handed out, and lots of folks were walking around, so I assume the Yard Sales were a success. The weather was very nice, so I hope everyone had fun. Since we are not supposed to be hanging signs on the telephone/light poles, please remove any signs you see for the yard sales as you are out walking. And for the real bargain hunters, tonight is trash night. Bob
