[Highland Park] Evensong at St. Andrew's
by Bruce Robison 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

Evensong at St. Andrew's Thursday February 4, 8 p.m. Long-time Highland Park resident and HPCC Member Betty Jo Rieley will play works by Frederic Chopin and Felix Mendelssohn in the recital following Choral Evensong this month at St. Andrew's. The service, beginning at 8 p.m., observes Candlemas (The Feast of the Presentation of Christ in the Temple: the Purification of St. Mary the Virgin), which traditionally falls on the 40th Day of Christmas, February 2. (Here in Pennsylvania, of course, there is an additional name for this midwinter holiday . . . . Or at least that is the case up in Punxatawney!) Sung by St. Andrew's Choir will be service music by William Smith of Durham (Sentences) and C.V. Stanford (Service in A Major), with introit by Johannes Eccard and anthem by Orlando Gibbons. Guest Preacher will be the Rt. Rev. Kenneth L. Price, Jr., our new Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. And a festive Candlemas Dessert Reception will follow the recital, in the Parish Hall. St. Andrew's is located at 5801 Hampton Street, in Highland Park. Everyone is welcome.

our dry cleaner no longer takes back our wire hangers and I am hoping there is a way to recycle them. I did take some to a scrap yard on the sourht side but was a trek. They insisted on paying (not very much) and it was not important to me. Does anyone have any idea how these can be recycled - I don't want to send them to a land fill. anyone have any ideas?? Thanks Kelly

[Highland Park] tankless water heaters
by Irina Livezeanu 30 Jan '10

30 Jan '10

The Ben Franklin Plumber Joe Lesko, did some work recently at my house and we talked about tankless water heaters. About two years ago I needed to have a new water heater installed. I wanted to get a "green" one but the plumbers I spoke to at the time did not advise it. Things have changed, more options are available and there is a big tax rebate on them, plus a special PA rebate this coming March. I won't change mine now, since it's too new, but if you're in the market for one, Joe is very capable and can advise you on the cost and installation. I've been very pleased with his work on many things at my house--radiators, boiler, shower, toilet. His number is 412-461-0928 or email joe.lesko(a)benfranklinplumbing.com Irina

[Highland Park] Stolen Items
by Elizabeth Williamson 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hello, I just wanted to let you in on something I learned today. A former employee of the Sunoco at Highland and East Liberty told me that many stolen items end up at this gas station. So, if your laptop or iPod is stolen, it may be a good idea to pay a visit to the Sunoco. Sincerely, Elizabeth Williamson

[Highland Park] Computer help for Macs or Home Studio
by C.Heather Kropf 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

Hello neighbors, I’m writing on behalf of my boyfriend, Randy Venturini, who is a computer consultant for Macs as well as an audio consultant and engineer. Perhaps you might know him better as the bass player for the now disbanded Crisis Car, or as producer of my albums. ANYWAY, if you have been stuck with anything on your Mac -- or perhaps would like to set up your (or your kid’s) home recording studio -- and would like a little assistance or tutoring, please contact him. He’s handy like that. Randy can provide references and his rates are ridiculously reasonable. To get started: dabr(a)mac.com or 412.363.7761 Cheers, Heatherwww.heatherkropf.com _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Powerful Free email with security by Microsoft. http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390710/direct/01/
