Neighbors, Has anyone done a long distance move and had a good experience with their moving company, as far as the truck arriving on the requested date, and the cost sticking to the original estimate? If yes, please let me know which moving company you can recommend. thanks, Jana

Does anyone have some of those thick reusable plastic straws for toddler cups? I'm in need of a few. Just straws but I could take cups too if easier. Thanks Meg

Thanks to all of my concerned neighbors - the mystery has been solved - my new next door neighbor borrowed it - I had offered it to him several weeks ago but did not realize he had taken me up on that offer. All is well - safe and sound!!

Alert re rabid raccoons
by janet jai 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

When I got home today, I found a note on our door from "a USDA (Dept. of Agriculture) Wildlife Technician" saying that "in recent weeks multiple rabid raccoons were discovered within a short distance of our property" (near Jackson and Euclid) and asking if they could put cage traps on our property and vaccinate the wildlife they capture. This was the first time we heard anything about rabid raccoons around here. Does anyone else know about them and did anyone else get that kind of note? It was too late to call the number on the note today, but I plan to call tomorrow and find out more about this. I don't think this could be some kind of scam, but I was surprised not to have heard anything until this note. I will let everyone know what I find out. In the meantime, be alert re rabid raccoons. janet jai

Cat in Racoon Trap?
by aimee 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hi Neighbors, After reading Janet's post about racoon traps, I became concerned that my orange tabby cat may have gotten trapped in one. He got out Wednesday night and hasn't come back, which is very unusual. If you happen to have a trap in your yard (have they even placed the traps yet? I'm not sure, but I thought I'd better send this just in case) and could check to see if he's there, I'd truly appreciate it. Of course, if you've found an older orange tabby that is quite loudly vocal, please let me know. Thank you!

by Michael Nadler 11 Oct '18

11 Oct '18

Hi neighbors, Interested in what FOCUS is doing ??? FOCUS will be presenting on Thursday, 18 OCT 18, at the monthly HPCC Meeting !!! We are again letting our neighborhood know that we will be driving the neighborhood picking up for the monthly FOCUS Collection on Thursday, 25 OCT 18. We will be around the neighborhood at 9:00 AM Thursday morning, so if you have non-perishable food items, or items listed below to donate, as We are running our monthly pick-up from the neighborhood for Supplies for FOCUS !!! This month we are "Focusing" on Non-Perishable Food, Personal Hygiene, Winter Coats and Blankets We have attached a letter in regards to what they need, but most importantly it is FOOD at this time. Last month we took our Van Loaded, and it was so needed and so much appreciated. Mike and Brigette Nadler, are coordinating the Highland Park pick up. If you are inclined to help, leave the supplies on your front porch and we will pick up and get your donations to FOCUS. So we are doing this again on Thursday, 25 OCT 18. We will be around starting at 9:00 AM, and need to get the donations there by noon. Please DO NOT drop off here, as we do not have a way of storing donations. Just email us your actual address to: mike(a)divehards.com<mailto:mike@divehards.com>, to let us know what to expect to pick up (as well as what not to take off your porches !!!), and we will get back to you, but not as promptly as in the past, but we will e-mail you back after next week. MAKE SURE that there is a Phone Number so that they can reach you during collection times, should there be any questions. FOCUS Pittsburgh, located in the Hill District, is part of a national movement through the Orthodox Church, that helps to fight poverty in communities across America. One of their areas in need is keeping their food pantry stocked with food and supplies. Currently, their shelves are empty and they need help. The above attachment highlights what they need. It could change on a monthly basis, at which point that need will be communicated. FOCUS Pittsburgh has been in the Hill since 2011. Each week, hundreds of backpacks are distributed to children in the Hill and Southside Public Schools. They offer an 8-week professional development class that teaches non-technical job skills to promote employment and success in the workplace. Bag lunches are distributed every Saturday through the Churches....140 lunches to be exact. In 2014, they opened a free medical and behavioral health clinic for people who are uninsured or who don't qualify for medical assistance. Most recently, they have purchased an RV, trained dozen of volunteers, and have formed a trauma response team -- responding to homicides in Allegheny County by providing on-site psychological and mental health care to residents affected by violence. In advance, thank you for your consideration.
