Used Cannondale for sale
by gregg.j.higgins＠gmail.com 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Sorry I couldn't get better pics, but the lighting is bad in our basement, and I was in a hurry. Cannondale CX5 (2009 or 2010). Needs a little love (new brakes, chain, and a good tune-up) but it was great (and still would be a great) commuter regardless. The rack doesn't actually fit officially, but you can have it if you want. I'm only asking $100 for it. I paid $350 a little over a year ago. Let me know if you'd want to take a look. Cheers, Gregg Sent from my iPhone

neighborhood crime issues
by susuboombatz＠aol.com 06 Oct '14

06 Oct '14

Hello HPer's A recent e-mail from HP neighbor, Celeste, really got to me. This gal sits in her living room - ducking guns shots and witnessing drugs deals on her street!! I contacted Commander Rashall Brackney for her advice, (she is in the North Side Police Dept.,), she passed along the following information and contacts to hopefully help our neighborhood..... Of course, I would love to help...and yes, I still read these, even from my Northside office. 1. I would consider 311 as an appropriate vehicle for capturing criminal "trends" like a home that has increased suspicious activity, or car break-ins. This is a little easier than 911 and you can submit license plates, etc. This also holds the recipient (Commander of Zone or Narcotics) accountable and creates a paper trail. 2. Shots fired....always dial 911. Most people assume someone else has or will call. But calling also helps law enforcement determine what is trending. 3. Neighbors should individually log suspicious, nuisance or anti-social behavior and request a meeting with Officer Gay or Commander O'Conner to discuss a neighborhood, collaborative strategy to impact and disrupt the crime. The meeting should have no more than 2 community representatives. More than that tends to dilute or divert issues to personal examples and venting sessions. 4. Set up a community "walk-through" with Officer Gay to identify points of vulnerability. (Lighting, overgrown weeds, open car doors, visible valuables on car seats, etc) Once identified...address them through Duquesne Light, BBI, homeowner. 5. Weekly list serve safety tips are awesome....so are "safety" articles in the local circular like the HP Newsletter. 6. Contact Cmdr. Barone (412) 323-7800 of Narcotics and Vice and request a Narcotics Detective attend a meeting to help communities clearly identify narcotic behaviors. This will assist with investigating the allegations. I would also contact Sgt. Gasiorowski at the same number, from Burglary to set up a meeting to help residents identify vulnerable areas for home owners. Hope that helps Cmdr --------------------- thanks for reading - maybe print this and keep it handy for yourself. have a great day! be safe! Sue hp neighbor

I'm wondering if anyone might have a manual edge trimmer that I could use to edge the corners of my lawn? I would only need to borrow the tool for a day, but I am hoping to be able to do it in the next couple of days if possible. Thanks in advance for any help. Best, Andrew
