[Highland Park] Emergency Numbers
by Justine Cassell 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Dear Neighbors, I am trying to assemble a list of emergency numbers for renters, including who to call if there's a water leak, a gas leak, a parking problem (somebody parking in front of the garage), a fallen tree . . . etc. Having just moved here recently, I don't have that list of emergency numbers myself - can anybody help with a list of emergency/useful numbers for Highland Park residents? thanks!

Hi. I have several bags of half composted chicken poo laced wood chips from my chicken run. It would make a great mulch for the interested gardener. Let me know if you can use it. Meg

[Highland Park] Vacation Gardening
by Beth Barnhill 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Going on vacation? Chances are you've already made arangements for your mail, pets, indoor plants, neighborhood watch, and someone to cut your grass. But--how about your yard and container plantings? I will water your lawn, garden beds and containers, deadhead, and even weed and fertilize, if you desire. I am a mature proefssional woman, who is a 10-year Highland Park resident. I have my own tools, and only require a water hook-up and hose. My rate for watering and deadheading is $10.00/hour, slightly more for additional services. I come over 1-3 times a week, as you wish, in the early evening, keeping the weather forecast in mind. Contact me at buodaino@ yahoo.com, and we'll set up a time for me to come and see your yard and discuss your particular needs.

[Highland Park] A rare opportunity for the people of Pittsburgh to vote on an important issue.
by Gloria Forouzan 22 Jul '11

22 Jul '11

Next week Pittsburgh City Council will deliberate on whether to put a *gas* *drilling ban referendum* on the ballot in November. The referendum will give the people of Pittsburgh the opportunity to vote on amending our Home Rule Charter to include a ban on corporate gas extraction. The drilling ban that Council voted on last fall is now in our city's code. City code can be changed by council in the future. Our city's Home Rule Charter is akin to the US Constitution. The people's amendment against drilling will be much more difficult to change/alter. This is similar to the referendum proposal that library supporters plan for inclusion in the November ballot. There are two actions you can take: 1. Attend the Council meeting: *Weds., July 27 at 10 a.m.,* 414 Grant St., and speak out in favor of the referendum. You don't have to sign up in advance, just come & you'll be given 3 minutes to speak. 2. If you can't be at the council meeting, please contact Councilman Dowd & ask him to vote *YES *on the legislation to add the referendum on the November ballot. Councilman Dowd's office: 412.255.2140, patrick.dowd(a)city.pittsburgh.pa.us Other council members' contact info: http://www.city.pittsburgh.pa.us/council/ Please contact the Mayor's office & ask for his support too: 412.255.2612 If you have any questions, please email me: gtforouzan(a)gmail.com Thank you, Gloria Forouzan -- When people lead, leaders follow.

Hello Neighbors! I wanted to see if any of you might have 4 or 5 wooden shutters you are looking to get rid of. I found some at construction junction but i wanted to see if maybe i could some a tad less expensive from our neighbors. I would love to take them off your hands for a project i am working on!:) Also we are looking to buy a used but good condition portable dishwasher. They attach to the sink normally. If you or someone you know has one they are looking to get rid of for a reasonable price, please let me know! Thanks Katie
