Our neighborhood schools
by Valerie Sweeney 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

I just want to take a moment to say Welcome back from summer to all of our neighborhood schools' students: Pittsburgh Dilworth Pittsburgh Fulton Pittsburgh Obama I know we have lots of other kids who go to other schools in other neighborhoods in the city - I hope everyone had a wonderful first day and that their neighbors welcomed them as warmly as we'd like to welcome our schools' students! Nothing better for a neighborhood than a thriving school with engaged children, teachers who love and inspire them, and involved parents. Such an asset to the community on so many levels! I love seeing all the kids walking to school or the bus stop in the morning and walking home in the afternoon, from school and bus stops. Say hi, smile, and let them know that Highland Park welcomes our students! -- Valerie C. Sweeney valeriecsweeney(a)gmail.com 412 551 1681 (cell)

Please find the latest crime report attached. There is also a positive note from Commander Lando below. Best regards, Monica Monica Watt President, Highland Park Community Council Editor, HPCC Newsletter Co-Chair, House Tour Committee Co-Chair, Playground Committee Member, Beautification Committee President ESP Studios 625 Liberty Avenue, 24th FL Pittsburgh, PA 15222 412.642.7700 v 412.642.2277 f 412.980.4208 c monica.watt(a)elias-savion.com<mailto:monica.watt@elias-savion.com> From: Lando, Jason Sent: Monday, August 31, 2015 4:05 PM To: Jason Lando <jason.lando(a)pittsburghpa.gov> Subject: Zone 5 Community Crime Update: Week of August 24th-30th Greetings, Zone 5 Neighbors! Attached you will find your Community Crime Update for the week of August 24th - 30th. I am happy to report that in NEARLY all of our violent crimes this week, officers were able to make an arrest OR have identified a suspect and applied for an arrest warrant. We are still seeing quite a few thefts from vehicles that have been left unlocked. Please make sure you always lock your doors! Additionally, if you are the victim of a crime, it is imperative that you call 911 and REPORT IT! If we don't know about a crime (or rash of crimes) that have occurred, there is nothing we can do about it. Even if the crime seems minor to you, we need to know about it because it could reflect a trend in your neighborhood. As for community events this past week, we were honored to be a part of the ribbon-cutting and dedication ceremony for the Paul J. Sciullo II Memorial Park & deck hockey rink in Bloomfield. As many of you know, Paul was one of the three officers at Zone 5 who was tragically killed on April 4th, 2009. He was an avid hockey player and a model police officer, and we are happy to see the City honor his memory this way. Our officers also spent some time with the kids at Brightside Academy at their Community Appreciation Day, and attended the Celebration of Life picnic in Highland Park, as well as the Larimer Avenue Festival on Larimer Avenue this past weekend. Photos attached... Have a great week and stay safe! Jason -- Cmdr.

Long shot: missing Osh Kosh train conductor hat
by Elizabeth Criss 31 Aug '15

31 Aug '15

We've lost our osh kosh hat and wonder if it fell out of our stroller on a walk. It's been missing for about a month, so I thought I'd see if someone may have picked it up. Thanks!

He likes to glide. Originally $1 1 0 selling for GREATLY REDUCED PRICE OF $35. I was told that these run a bit small in the toe so they would most likely fit a size 11 but they are a size 12. If interested, please call Francine @ 412-589-4813
