[Highland Park] Wounded Grey Tabby
by Kimberly Latta 14 May '12

14 May '12

At 5:30 pm I spotted a pretty grey tabby--it's throat looks as though it has been slashed. It was trying to cry but could not make a sound, so it must have sustained a pretty severe injury. My neighbor says she's seen the cat around for the last week or so, and that it was not wounded yesterday. I tried to help the cat, but it ran off. We live on Wellesley, between Negley and King, towards the Negley end. I called the Animal Rescue League, but they are closed. I could not find a number for Animal Control in our area. -- Kimberly Latta, Ph.D. Highland Park, Pittsburgh, PA *All you need is already within you.

[Highland Park] Picking flowers at the fountain
by Kevin McDermott 14 May '12

14 May '12

On Sunday May 13th between 7-7:30am I was walking my dogs around the area of the fountain when I saw a women who I did not recognize talking with someone I know who also has a dog. As the two walked away from each other the unrecognized women began cutting flowers from the garden around the fountain, at first I thought she had just taken one stem that had fallen to the walkway but soon I realized she was cutting bunches of flowers. When she had a significant bunch of flowers she made her way to her station wagon, parked just inside the entrance to the park, and placed the flowers in a bucket on the floor in the back of her car. She closed the door and with scissors in hand started back toward the garden and began to cut more flowers. I didn't say anything but feel as though I should have. I have always been under the impression that the Parks Conservancy and volunteers tend the beautiful gardens for everyone's enjoyment and have no intention on people going to the park to pick/cut the flowers? If I'm wrong please let me know. It was obvious this women came to the park prepared and with the full attention of cutting flowers-scissors and bucket, I go to the park early and have never seen her there before. This morning(Monday) I saw the fellow she was talking too and asked if he knew her, he said he didn't really and that she had just started to talk with him as he was walking, he later saw her cutting flowers and thought it a bit odd. I have lived in HP for about 13 years and feel we are lucky as a community to have such a beautiful park painstakingly taken care of by the Parks Conservancy and volunteers(especially given the state of the fountain 13 years ago) and think it should be respected as such. Maybe this seems petty but if this type of behavior persists we will have everyone, who has no respect for the gardens, picking flowers. When I want fresh flowers I either pick them from my own yard or go somewhere and buy them. If everyone in the community cut the flowers around the fountain there would be no flowers left for anyone to enjoy!
