[Highland Park] New Year, New Opportunities!
by Shelly Danko+Day 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Happy New Year Neighbors! With the new year comes new possibilities and opportunities to make a difference! Act locally! Not sure how many of you have been following local politics, but it is very interesting (and disappointing) indeed! (Our Councilman, Patrick Dowd, in my opinion, needs to check his loyalties!) We need to hold our Elected officials accountable for their actions taken (supposedly) on our behalf. But I digress... Most people only pay attention and vote during the presidential election year, but this year is a very important year. This year, all of PA's state reps are up for re-election (Dom Costa and Joe Preston), as well as Senator Jim Ferlo. In addition, this is the year that the democratic committee seats are up for election. (Republicans are in 2012). The committee positions are important because, in addition to other duties, they decide which candidates will be endorsed by the party in an election. Gloria Forouzan wrote an article in the Bulletin that spells it out in greater detail, http://www.bloomfie ld-garfield. org/pages/ documents/ BulletinJanuary2 010.pdf If you've been disappointed, as I have, with some of our local elected officials, take action and step up! Feel free to contact me if you want more details. Keep yourself informed by checking these blogs: Burgh Report: http://burghreport.blogspot. com/ The Pgh. Comet (Bram's): http://www.pghcomet.blogspot. com/ Two Political Junkies: http://www.2politicaljunkies. blogspot.com/Agent Ska: http://agentska.blogspot.com/ Make it a sparkling day!

[Highland Park] Fwd: First Tee Winter Golf Clinics begin Jan 18 - Home school and After School/Sat Options
by Heather Conrad 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Everyone, I just thought I'd share a great program with the list. They teach golf and life skills at the Bob O'Connor club house in Schenley Park (right off of Forbes Ave). In the winter they use a golf simulator. My boys who had no real prior interest in golf both love the program. The cost of the program is very reasonable and they offer reduced cost for lower-income families. My boys have done both the homeschool and the after school options and they really do a top-notch job. If you homeschool, the advantage is that there are usually fewer kids.

I hope you enjoyed the holidays and this special time of year. We want to remind you that our Winter Clinics will begin on January 18 using our indoor simulators and Education Room.

[Highland Park] another robbery
by Helen Blier 07 Jan '10

07 Jan '10

Hello, neighbors; I'm posting this on behalf of the neighbors next door. On Monday, there was an attempted burglary at 910 Farragut at 1030am (yes, broad daylight). Some good folks who live behind the house on Sheridan saw them and called the police, who responded in 2 minutes; the police scared off the burglars, who were not caught. The two men had apparently forced open a back ground-level window and escaped before they were able to take anything. Large, barking dogs and alarm systems seem like good insurance, no?
