Hello All, I had Mr. Jeff Kalas of J.K. Electric out to diagnose an issue earlier this week and I can say he was reliable, professional, and helped me to understand exactly what the problem was and how he planned on fixing it. He was able to fix the issue immediately at what I believed was a fair and reasonable rate. I highly reccomend his work if you are in need of an electrician. J.K. Electric kalas1145(a)comcast.net 412-821-7484 Regards, Chris

[Highland Park] volunteering
by olga watkins 28 Jan '11

Last year during the blizzard, I started volunteering to deliver Meals on Wheels once a week when I became aware that they needed people with four wheel drive vehicles to get through the snow that was piled on the streets for the month of February. My 2 1/2 hours every Friday morning have been extremely rewarding. One of the folks on my route is a 101 year old Scottish woman who I love to visit and can't wait to talk to every week. That aside, Meals on Wheels for our neighborhood is run from Stephen Foster Center in Lawrenceville by the Catholic Youth Association. As many of their volunteers are seniors, this time of year, with all the snow, they have a hard time getting out and the center always needs more help. You can deliver meals or shovel snow, it matters not. If you have a little time to give, call Gretchen Fay or Maureen at 412-621-3342 and let them know. http://www.catholicyouthassociation.com/ If you're a senior looking for some fun things to do in your spare time, they also hold a number of classes there, including dance and organize lots if great field trips. Have a great weekend! GO Steelers!

[Highland Park] SHELTIE MIX "Nacho" NEEDS RESCUED ASAP OR WILL BE TAKEN TO SHELTER
by Difranza, Francine 28 Jan '11

* POSTING THE FOLLOWING FOR: * > Sheila Burgess > McJunkin Red Man Corporation > Email: Sheila.Burgess(a)mrcpvf.com > Phone: +1-304-340-2362 > Fax: +1-304-348-4939 > www.MRCPVF.com <http://www.mrcpvf.com/> > Attached pics are of nacho. My ex's dog. He was on his way to take him to the pound because he didn't have time for him and Meredith met him. He is now at my house but I already have 2 dogs and a cat and I can't take him. He is a golden/sheltie mix. He is about 35 lbs. Looks like a sheltie or cattle dog with the color of a golden. > He is 2 1/2 years old. Neutered and very loving. Don't get me wrong he is high strung and has been destructive but that is because Mark was leaving him at home alone or in the crate for hours at a time. A dog will get that way when you do not pay attention to him. I had no issues with him when I kept him but I did pay attention and play with him. > Please let me know what needs to be done to keep from him going to the pound. > Sheila ________________________________ (JX15811ID: [581256])
