Scissor Sharpening
by Bob Staresinic 29 Jan '22

29 Jan '22

Hello Neighbors I have started a small business to sharpen scissors and rotary blades, called Bob's Cutting Edge. My business is mostly a mobile sharpening service, where I go to barber shops, beauty salons, pet grooming, tailoring, upholstery and fabric shops and take their scissors out to my van to sharpen them. I like to sew and quilt, and when I started asking around at barber/beauty/fabric shops to find out where they get their scissors sharpened, they mostly all said that there was a guy who would come around to do this, but he does not do that anymore. I have since found out that the two main guys who provided this service, Jerry and Bob, have both passed away in the past 5 years. So I learned how to sharpen scissors, and have been doing this in shops for the past six months. Since I have no luck in trying to create a sharpening event at Joann Fabrics (which is where I would take mine in the past), and I know that the local sewing community has a need for sharpening, I have decided that I should see if folks would be ok dropping their fabric scissors off to me for sharpening here in Highland Park. I can do most any type/size of scissor, pinking shears, and also do blades (28, 45 and 60 mm) for rotary cutters. I have done a sharpening event at Firecracker Fabrics in Morningside in early December, and will probably do more in the coming year as it warms up, depending on how this virus decides to act to allow gatherings. I am currently not doing clipper blades, knives or garden equipment. There are other sharpeners out there, and some do sharpen knives. Dan at Atomic Celt does knives, and lives in Highland Park. His email is atomiccelt(a)gmail.com and phone number is 412-608-7822. Aaron and Liza at A&L Sharpening in Fox Chapel sharpen knives and garden equipment. Their email is sharpeningpgh(a)gmail.com and their phone number is 412-216-4507. With both of these, you drop your stuff off and come back another day to pick them up. Feel free to call or text me at 412-400-4817, or email me at bobscuttingedge(a)gmail.com if you have some scissors or rotary blades that need to be sharpened. Thanks Bob

Fwd: Bridge Collapses in Frick Park
by Highland Park Community Council 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

*Published:* 01.28.2022 *Contact:* Amanda Mueller Deputy Public Information Officer Public Safety 412-510-6314 amanda.mueller(a)pittsburghpa.gov Bridge Collapses in Frick Park PITTSBURGH, PA (Oct. 28, 2022) – At 6:39 a.m. on January 28, rescue crews responded to the Forbes Avenue Bridge in Frick Park after the bridge collapsed near Forbes and South Braddock. Five vehicles and one Port Authority bus were on the bridge at the time. Ten people were evaluated and treated for minor injuries, including some first responders. Three people were transported to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. “I am thankful for the quick response and dedication of the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department, and for the cooperation and assistance of the county, state, and federal governments,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. Rescue operations concluded just after 8:30 a.m. “Due to the scale of the collapse, we activated the mass casualty plan,” said Chief Darryl Jones, Emergency Management Coordinator for EMA. “Thank you to all our partners at all levels for their assistance and work as we continue to navigate this scene.” Response included Allegheny County and Pennsylvania State authorities. The Pennsylvania State Police provided a UAV drone to scan the collapse site for situational awareness purposes. Ross/Westview and Baldwin EMS were also on scene. Jones activated Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) assets to search for possible victims underneath the collapsed bridge, which is where crews will now focus their efforts. PA USAR Strike Team 1 will work to check for void spaces under the bridge. “First responders worked quickly and effectively together, sharing resources and information,” said acting Public Safety Director Lee Schmidt, “their diligence ensured everyone on the bridge was safe.” Additionally, the collapse ruptured gas lines that ran along the bridge, causing a large gas leak. Gas crews shut the gas off within thirty minutes. Several families were evacuated from their homes nearby as a precaution and have since been cleared for re-entry. The cause of the collapse is under investigation. Frick Park is closed to pedestrians and vehicles as crews continue their work.

by Highland Park Community Council 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

>From PWSA: Crews began construction on Rising Mains 3&4 as part of the Water Reliability Plan. They will rehabilitate the two transmission pipes connecting the Bruecken Pump Station to the Highland Reservoir system. Work has started this month and will be complete in October 2022. The right hand lane of outgoing traffic on One Wild Place will remain closed until early February. Full restoration of the roadway will occur in the spring. Additionally, the right hand outbound lane on Washington Boulevard - between Allegheny Boulevard and the Highland Park Bridge exit - will be closed to traffic to allow for equipment to access the worksite. This closure will be in place until April 2022. As the project proceeds, crews will move out of the right-of-way and into the woods and onto zoo property. We will coordinate with the zoo as needed. Project updates will be found on the webpage below. https://www.pgh2o.com/projects-maintenance/search-all-projects/rising-mains… -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>
