Can anyone recommend a good plumber? Whenever I run the water in my kitchen it backs up into my basement sink and smells really bad. Thank you! Emily

Gas Line Work?
by Stuart O Anderson 08 May '23

08 May '23

The ongoing gas line replacement work has reached out street, and I have some concerns. Wondered if anyone else had looked into: - Are the tar+gravel patches the permanent road surface repair, or just temporary until they finish the job? Currently they're uneven, under and over+filled, have stones poking out in places, etc. - When they dig up a sidewalk or yard, are they repairing those eventually? Do they do anything to compensate for damage to landscaping? - Is there a person or number to call to get information about schedules and scope of work? Thanks, Stuart

Firing range
by Highland Park Community Council 08 May '23

08 May '23

As many of you know, noise from the open air police firing has been disturbing neighbors and park users for 40 years. If you haven't heard it, the noise in parts of the park and neighborhood is loud enough to stifle conversation and frequently sounds like automatic weapons. In May, training at the range was scheduled for 19 of 23 weekdays, frequently at times when kids could hear it while waiting for their school bus or playing at a playground or in their yard after school. Given the recent increases in gun violence, mass shootings, and threats against schools, and given that guns are now the leading cause of death for children and teens, it is not surprising that we’ve heard over and over that the sound of gunfire from the range triggers anxiety and fear in residents, park users, and their children. Due to a recent petition to close the firing range <https://www.change.org/p/close-the-highland-park-open-air-police-firing-ran…>, this problem has recently been covered in the Post Gazette <https://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2023/04/17/highland-park-pittsburgh…> and on WPXI <https://www.wpxi.com/news/local/allegheny-county/some-residents-asking-city…>. We don't view this as a police issue, but as a public health issue. We respect and appreciate our police officers very much, and we understand that they need proper firearms training. But we also recognize that being exposed to gunfire on a daily basis is not normal and that it's a legitimate public health concern. To help raise awareness and keep attention on this problem, the HPCC is having a press conference tomorrow, Tuesday May 9, at 11 am at the Farmhouse Playground. We'll be providing a history of the site and explaining community concerns, and Joy Katz (who created the petition), will be publicly presenting it to the mayor (literally if he accepts our invitation to come, or figuratively if not). The event is open to the public; we encourage people to come whether it directly affects your family, or if you recognize this as a problem that the city should address. -- Click here to visit our website <https://hpccpgh.org/>

Free boxes of small fabric scraps
by Catherine Batcho 08 May '23

08 May '23

Free fabric scraps I have 3 boxes of free fabric scraps at the studio up for grabs. These are small pieces good for craft projects, to use as stuffing for dog/cat toys and beds and small quilt scrap pieces. If you are interested let me know or stop by when Firecracker fabrics is open and ask if you can have a box of scraps from the studio. Anything you don’t use please pass along to someone else or take to be recycled at PItt or mark as unusable textiles for goodwill to recycle. I just always try to see if anyone wants them locally before I recycle them. Thanks! Catherine -- www.cutandsewstudio.com
