Shooting Range Noise Log
by Highland Park Pittsburgh, PA 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

As part of an on-going community effort to work with the city to address noise from the police shooting range, the HPCC is now collecting information to document the community's experience with this noise. To that end, we've created an online form to collect noise reports. If you hear noise from the firing range at any time of day, please visit the public safety page of our website - HPCCPgh.org / About / Public Safety ( https://hpccpgh.org/public-safety/ ) and use the link at the top of the page to submit a noise report. The form requests information such as the date, length of time, location, and impact to you or others. When the form is submitted, it creates a record in the HPCC's database for shooting range noise; any personal information that you choose to submit will not be shared outside of the HPCC. -- *Highland Park Community Council* Visit our website by clicking here. <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Helleborus pruning
by Susan Ryan 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Just a garden hint: if you have Helleborus in your garden, now is the time to prune it. In early spring when new buds are seen--they will be close to the ground, this is the time to trim off the old leaves which are lying on the ground. The new buds should bloom around Lent, hence the nickname "Lenten Rose." Helleborous is one of the earliest flowering perennials, in fact, the white varieties have been blooming for several weeks.

I’ve joined a group of awesome people that are making and delivering free home cooked lasagnas to their neighbors who are struggling. The need can be financial, emotional, health related, or just being overwhelmed with life these days. If you or someone you know would like a hand with dinner one night in the coming weeks, sign up here: www.lasagnalove.org/request. They are also looking for volunteers, so if you're interested in cooking as a way to show love to our community, please consider volunteering!
