[Highland Park] foster kitty needs a home
by Meg Reilly 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Hello neighbors, I'm fostering a beautiful cat for Animal Friends named Kaiser. She is a sweet, small, grey and white cat who was rescued from a serious neglect situation. Because of her history of neglect, she's nervous around people, but not at all aggressive. She and I have worked hard to raise her comfort level, and she has gotten to the point where she enjoys being petted around her head and neck. She really likes my cats and gets along well with them. She is healthy, has been fixed, and is up-to-date on her vaccinations. If you have some extra love and patience to give to a special cat, please contact me. I would be happy to introduce you. This kitty has really stolen my heart, and I would hate to see her return to the stressful shelter environment. Animal Friends adoptions are subject to the shelter's policies and application procedures. There is an adoption fee, but I will be sponsoring Kaiser's adoption so there would be no cost to her new family. Thanks for considering this sweet cat. Meg

[Highland Park] Recommending an Amazing Nanny
by Mary Greening 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Below is a Craigslist ad for a truly amazing nanny who has been caring for our infant son. We are relocating back to California and are very sad to leave her. But she is now available for another position with another family. She is extremely nurturing, intuitive, creative, intelligent, giving, conscientious and attentive. We highly recommend her. Please feel free to contact me if you want to hear more about what she's like as a nanny. Our son was born 3 months premature and we wanted someone to be extra sensitive and loving with him, very nurturing and dedicated to his well being. She was more than we could have even hoped for in a nanny. She has helped him bloom into an amazing 11 month old boy. She reads his cues perfectly - is soothing, playful, tender, engaging, calming, etc. all at the right moments. Anyway, we really recommend her and will miss her. http://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/kid/2853930942.html

[Highland Park] Fwd: MAYOR ANNOUNCES START OF REASSESSMENT APPEAL ASSISTANCE
by Thoma, Jennifer 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

Press release below is for your information, Please share with your community groups. Best regards, Jennifer MAYOR ANNOUNCES START OF REASSESSMENT APPEAL ASSISTANCE Sent 02/16/2012 @ 11:24 am Mayor Luke Ravenstahl today encouraged City resident who need help appealing their 2012 property reassessment to call his 311 Response Line today. Customer service representatives are scheduling residents with one-on-one appeal assistance such as help filling out appeal and tax relief forms, low-cost appraisals and legal support as residents prepare for their appeal hearing. The deadline to file a formal appeal is April 2. The Court ordered this year’s reassessment values to be used for next year’s tax bills, but those values must be appealed this year. “Property owners must challenge any unfair or inaccurate reassessment soon – and the City is going to give you every possible tool to make this frustrating appeal process easier for you,” Ravenstahl said. "All residents have to do is call 3-1-1 and city employees will come to the neighborhood senior center nearest you with help and support." The Mayor’s Office has been working collaboratively with City Council and the Controller’s Office to coordinate the aggressive appeal assistance plan. Together, City employees will be deployed to neighborhood senior centers to meet one-on-one with residents. The Duquesne Law Clinic will be assisting the Controller’s Office in providing legal help. To qualify for assistance, the residents’ property must be located within the City of Pittsburgh and must be a primary, owner-occupied, single-family residential property. In addition, the old assessment value for the property must be under $150,000. City residents aged 65 and older are not subject to the $150,000 requirement. Through a competitive process, the City negotiated a $250 appraisal rate, which is a fraction of today’s average appraisal cost. The City will subsidize half of that, so a qualifying property owner will pay $125 for an appraisal. *Contact:* Joanna Doven Press Secretary Office: 412-255-2694 Cell: 412-475-2387 Email <joanna.doven(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us> © 2012 City of Pittsburgh <http://pittsburghpa.gov> | Office of the Mayor <http://pittsburghpa.gov/mayor> | [image: Facebook]<http://www.facebook.com/city.of.pittsburgh>| [image: Twitter] <http://twitter.com/citypgh> Having trouble seeing this message?

[Highland Park] Accident on Winterton (2:00 am - Thursday Morning)
by Brian Boyer 16 Feb '12

16 Feb '12

All: Last night around 1:45 am my unoccupied parked car had a run in with a hit-and-run driver on Winterton St. My vehicle is now undriveable, but I got a look at the other vehicle as it drove away. It was an older model compact SUV (late 90's possibly a Kia Sportage/Chevy Tracker/ Suzuki Sidekick), maroon/dark red with grey bumpers and trim. Winterton gets little or no through traffic so I was hoping it was a local vehicle and someone might recognize it. If it is still on the road, it would have some pretty heavy front end damage. I've already filed a police report, etc, but if anyone recognizes the maroon compact SUV, I would greatly appreciate that information. Thank you, Brian Boyer Brian.R.Boyer(a)gmail.com cell: (330)414-0901
