by Thoma, Jennifer 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Office of Councilman Patrick Dowd - October 2010 News and Updates <http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/district7/assets/newsletters/District7 _newsletter_September_2010.pdf> City Council Public Hearing Councilman Patrick Dowd will host an informational public hearing regarding stabilizing the City pension fund next Wednesday, October 6 at 7:00pm at the Stephen Foster Community Center. Topics to be discussed include the Mayor's plan to lease the parking system and alternative solutions to the pension funding crisis. Another Public Hearing is scheduled in Council Chambers at the City-County Building, Downtown, on October 11 at 6:00pm. To register to make comments up to three minutes in length at either hearing location, please contact the City Clerk's office at 412.255.2138. City of Pittsburgh Receives Award to Hire More Police Officers U.S. Senator Bob Casey recently announced that the Department of Justice (DOJ) has awarded $3,707,925 to the City of Pittsburgh to hire 25 new police officers. The funding is available through DOJ's COPS Hiring Program (CHP). CHP funding addresses the full-time sworn officer needs of state, local and tribal law enforcement agencies nationwide. CHP grants go directly to law enforcement agencies to hire new and/or rehire career law enforcement officers in an effort to increase their community policing capacity and crime prevention efforts. CHP also provides funding for approved entry-level salaries and benefits for three years for newly-hired, full-time sworn officer positions (including filling existing unfunded vacancies) or for rehired officers who have been laid off, or are scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of local budget cuts.

Trick or Treating for Halloween in the City of Pittsburgh will happen on Sunday, October 31. Time yet to be announced as of creation of this newsletter. Did You Know? Why are pumpkins a Halloween tradition? <http://images.meredith.com/bhg/images/08/p_carvedpumpkins.jpg> Using pumpkins as lanterns at Halloween is based on an ancient Celtic custom brought to America by Irish immigrants. All Hallows' Eve on October 31 marked the end of the old Celtic calendar year. On that night, hollowed-out gourds with candles inside were placed on windowsills to welcome home spirits of deceased ancestors and to ward off evil spirits, including a restless soul named "Stingy Jack." Corny Candy Facts * Each year 2 billion dollars is spent on Halloween candy. Now that's a lot of candy -- and cavities! * More than 35 million pounds of candy corn will be produced this year. That equates to nearly 9 billion pieces -- enough to circle the moon nearly four times if laid end-to-end. * What's the most popular Halloween candy? Snickers tops the list for trick-or-treaters. * Tootsie Rolls were the first wrapped penny candy in America. * Did you know that chocolate is better for your child's teeth than hard candy? Chocolate rinses more easily from the mouth by saliva, leaving it in contact with teeth for a shorter time. Chocolate also contains tannins, which inhibit the action of cavity-causing bacteria. Finally, a good excuse to indulge! For more fun and freaky facts, you can visit Parents.com <http://www.parents.com/holiday/halloween/traditions/fun-and-freaky-hall oween-facts/> .

[Highland Park] fence-installer recommendations?
by Nancy Eligator 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Howdy neighbors, We are looking for someone to fence in our back yard. It's not a big job, but we've gotten a pricey estimate from Allegheny fence. We are wondering if there might be another fencing outfit or carpenter out there who might be more reasonable. Any suggestions? Thank you, Nancy Eligator nelig(a)aol.com

by Alfred Boutros 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Neighbors, I am looking for two referrals. 1. Cleaning person - I am looking for someone to come in and clean twice a month. Does anyone have someone they currently use, they could recommend? 2. Fix my rims on my car - I need to fix some scratches on the rims of my car. Has anyone used someone they can recommend that is affordable? The standard rate is $150. I was hoping to find a place that would do for $100/rim. Thanks for the help! Fred fred_boutros(a)yahoo.com

[Highland Park] Farmer's Market Cooperative of East Liberty Update
by David Lagnese 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello Neighbors This Saturday the market will be well stocked with locally grown fruit and vegetables. Last week we had a lot of fall items- a variety of squash, pumpkins, gourds, Indian Corn, etc. But there is also still excellent local corn, tomatoes, beans and greens. Prices are excellent, so it is a great time to buy by the basket or bushel and put some up for the winter. Apples are coming into their prime, so stop by the Kistaco stand for a wide variety of apples and fresh cider. Rick Zang is still bringing in local grapes- Concords and Niagras from Erie County. I bought some last week and made some concord grape juice which will be available at the Kew Park Coffee Bar. The season is very short so get them while you can. The juice is delicious- nothing like the processed variety available in stores- and very good for you. The Kennedy Family Meat Stand will offer local rabbits, baby-Back pork ribs and roasting chickens in addition to their usual offerings. Next Saturday the Kennedy's will have local, hand-raised veal. All cuts are available, but please call out to the farm to order ASAP. You can reach the farm at 724-898-2316. Call Monday through Friday, 9 am until 9 pm. One final note, the Kennedy's Four Seasons Game Bird Farm is on the Butler County Farm Tour this coming Saturday from 10am –3pm. The address is 115 List Hill Road, Valencia, PA 16059, and directions are already listed on the farm website fourseasonsgamebirdfarm. This is a great opportunity to see the farm! Please stop by the market this Saturday and stop by the Kew Park Coffee Bar for a Jamaican coffee of fresh juice. David Lagnese ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* The Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty is located at 344 North Sheridan Ave., adjacent to the Home Depot parking lot. The market operates year round- and is open from 5 AM until 12 noon every Saturday of the year.
