[Highland Park] rhubarb
by muirgens＠aol.com 13 Apr '10

13 Apr '10

I took out a large rhubarb from my garden this morning and the split plants are free for the taking. The rhubarb is red-stemmed from the start and has very large green leaves. It's quite decorative as well as making good stems for stewing or preserves (just make sure they are ripe and remember the leaves are poisonous). It comes up in early spring. I split the plant into about 4 equal grocery bags and they are on the lawn in a cardboard box at 1437 Greystone. I can't guarantee they will grow -- the roots were deeper and bigger than anticipated and I had to cut some of them -- but they are free if you want them. If no one takes them, I'll put them out for garbage pick-up. Morgen

[Highland Park] Custom Metal Work
by Alfred Mann 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

One of the nice things about Highland Park is this listserv, which informs local residents of services available. A notice posted in February described the custom metal work offered by London Pattern Metalworks, owned by Highland Park resident Colin Carrier. We just had Colin fabricate and install two beautiful outdoor handrails at our home. We highly recommend his work. He can be reached at 412-996-8555. Al and Genevieve Mann

[Highland Park] Spring clean your medicine cabinet
by Amy P. Kennedy 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi Neighbors, Allegheny County's first ever pharmaceutical hazardous waste collection is being held on May 15th. It's a good opportunity to get rid of those unused/expired prescription and over-the-counter medications cluttering up your cabinets and keep them out of our water supply. This could be an especially valuable service to perform for your elderly relatives who may be prone to confusion resulting in overmedication. The collection is being held in Hampton Township--a little bit of a trek from our neighborhood. I'm a pharmacist and I'll be volunteering at the event. If anyone has any medications they would like taken for disposal, send me an email. I'll make myself available for collection here in the neighborhood a few days prior to the event. There is a $3 disposal fee per household. Details and informational link below. Thanks! Amy Saturday, May 15, 2010 – 9:00 am – 1:00 pm Hampton Township Community Center 3101 McCully Rd. Allison Park, PA 15101 http://www.swpahhw.org/Pharmaceutical.html
