[Highland Park] need someone for raking leaves
by Shannon Hula 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Hi- We're looking for somebody -- perhaps a local student -- to help us take care of our leaves this fall. It's a big job and might take the better part of a weekend for a single person to do, but it can be done whenever (across days, evenings, weekends...whatever). Please email me if you're interested in the job and let me know when you're available and how much you charge. Thanks! Shannon Hula

[Highland Park] Pittsburgh City Council Votes for Preliminary Approval of Billboard Control Ordinance
by Dave Demko 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

Dear Friends of Scenic Pittsburgh, We here at Scenic Pittsburgh want to commend Pittsburgh City Council for their careful consideration of the proposed electronic sign zoning ordinance now before them. The ordinance to regulate electronic signs, sponsored by Councilman Burgess and amended by Councilwoman Harris, passed in standing-committee with 5 votes. The single no vote came from Councilman Dowd who is concerned that the "special lighting district" language may not adequately protect the public's right to a fair and open decision-making process. Councilman LaVelle abstained to study the bill further to be certain the legislation protects the sensitive Downtown and Cultural Districts. City Council has shown itself as serious about protecting the scenic landscape and architecture of Pittsburgh. We have confidence City Council will find common ground on this important legislation when they meet again on Monday. Sincerely, Dave Demko http://www.facebook.com/ScenicPittsburgh.org P.S. It is not too late for you to contact your councilperson and tell them how you feel about billboards in your neighborhood (www.scenicpittsburgh.org/council.html ).

[Highland Park] Looking for a Book: The Son of Neptune
by Kristen Tsapis 18 Nov '11

18 Nov '11

A young friend would very much like to read "The Son of Neptune" by Rick Riordan. I believe it is part of the "Heroes of Olympus" series. If anyone has a copy they have finished with and would be willing to donate it (or loan it) to a Somali refugee. Please let me know and I'd be happy to pick it up from you and pass it along to an avid, young reader. Thank you, Kristen Tsapis

St. Andrew's Day continues at 4:30 p.m. with a Festival Service of Choral Evensong, sung by the Schola Cantorum of St. Andrew's Church, and with a brief sermon by guest preacher the Rev. Steven McKeown, a member of the Aliquippa-based Community of Celebration and a priest of the Diocese of Argyll and the Isles in the Episcopal Church of Scotland -- All welcome!
