[Highland Park] Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty Update
by David Lagnese 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Hello Neighbors, The market is open this Saturday as usual. We had a nice crowd last week. Thanks to all who participated in the Rotary Club Breakfast. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************* People keep asking me when the market will close for the season. So I need to remind people that our market is open year round. In fact my understanding is that the market has been open every Saturday since July 7th, 1941! This week the market will continue to have a great selection of fall vegetables-many varieties of squash, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage. Our usual supply of meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit, baked goods, and prepared foods will be available. And many of the fruits and vegetables are still locally grown. Of course fine Jamaican coffee is available at the Kew Park Coffee Bar. The main thing I want to emphasize this week is the need to get your holiday meat orders in. The J.L. Kennedy Family meat stand is a great source for your holiday poultry. All the birds are locally grown and are chemical free. Generally, the Kennedy's have fresh turkeys, capons, ducks, and pheasants available. I am not sure what is left since there is usually some limit to the supplies available. One item that I think is pretty amazing is their smoked pheasants. They are locally grown and expertly smoked. I remove the meat from the bone and serve it cold with honey mustard as an appetizer. It is extremely easy and you will look like a hero to your guests. This Saturday the Kennedy's will have beef bacon and pork tenderloins in addition to their usual fare. Also for next Saturday (November 20th) they will have local, hand-raised veal. Many cuts are still available. So please do yourself a favor and order your holiday poultry from Kennedy Farm. But you need to act now and come to the market this Saturday. You can also call Val Kennedy at the farm- 724-898-2316. Call Monday through Friday, 9 am until 9 pm. As far as pick up for your holiday items, the market is open Saturday, November 20th, and Wednesday, November 24th (the day before thanksgiving). Thank you and please support your local farmers and the Farmers' Market Cooperative of East Liberty. 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.

[Highland Park] Wheelchair returned!
by Candi Carter Olson 11 Nov '10

Hello neighbors! For those of you who have managed to miss the media circus, YEAH, Gabriel's wheelchair has been returned. The person who bought it from the thief saw one of the TV news reports and decided that she did not want a stolen wheelchair. Therefore, she awesomely turned it in to our own Zone 5 police officers. Thank you to the entire neighborhood for your support, and thank you to the Zone 5 police for their time and attention to our case. You all have given us a lot of faith in the power of neighbors and friends to really make a difference. Thank you, Candi

[Highland Park] Girls' Self-Defense Classes
by Audrey Rasmusson 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

Friends, Are any of you interested in a self-defense class for your daughters? Or perhaps you have friends or relatives who would be interested. I recently became aware of a school called Lioness Martial Arts that specializes in self-defense class for women and girls. They are located in the East End (Swissvale). When I inquired about classes for teenage girls, they told me that none are currently scheduled. However, they will put together courses for any group of teenage girls at any time. If some of us got together to form a group, the school would work with us to find a mutually suitable time and date. The Girl's Self-Defense program consists of six 90-minute classes. Tuition is as followes: Private Lessons (2 students) - $300 each for the course. Semi-private lessons (4 students) - $160 each for the course. Group (6 students) - $120 for the course. (This is the normal cost for the course when it is on the school's schedule). Please email me if you are interested! Thank you. Audrey Rasmusson
