I used to hoard stickers, but I am ready to give up my stash. Some sheets aren't complete...but if they would bring you, or a kid in your life joy, they are yours for the taking. Frogs, princesses, fairies, flowers, snoopy, tea party, cat in the hat. Please take all Whitney Philipps

[Highland Park] Puppies Looking for Foster Homes -- PLEASE FORWARD OR HELP IF YOU CAN......... from Georgene
by Difranza, Francine 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Desperately need fosters to come back if you can, or for those thinking about it to join up! We are also past adopters to see if you know anyone that might like to join our foster programs in hopes of saving the above pups. This shelter is euthanizing 50% of its shelter this week if rescues do not commit to some of these guys! >From what I'm understanding in an email regarding us pulling these guys, if we don't commit to it for this weekend the remaining 5-9 puppies will be euthanized Thursday if we don't commit to them. Can ANYONE please take 2 puppies? Can those of you taking a pup or 2 take JUST 1 more? The black pups I have left at the shelter and will pray for. Can anyone PLEASE take 2.. or even, ONE puppy? This shelter is housing 8... EIGHT dogs to a 6x9 kennel and the pups are taking up single kennels. They have 6-8 litters in the shelter and these puppies WILL GO FIRST... PLEASE HELP Makes me so sad to realize the pet and shelter issue are just getting worse :(( Sincerely, Laura Fine MistnStone Labrador Retriever Rescue Assistance Group mistnstone(a)yahoo.com * * *

[Highland Park] lawyer for a simple will
by SusieSlg＠aol.com 01 Jul '11

01 Jul '11

Hi, I am interested in re-doing my Will, nothing complicated but a few minor changes. Does anyone have a suggestion of a lawyer, maybe even one that works from home, that could prepare a Will and do a great job but at minimal expense? The bells and whistles of a fancy law firm are not important to me but I do want someone who is knowledgeable.......any suggestions?? Thanks, Susie

[Highland Park] Farmers Market Coop of East Liberty Update
by David Lagnese 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Update for Saturday July 2nd- 4th of July weekend This should be a busy day at the market this Saturday as everyone prepares for the July 4th weekend. New locally grown items continue to appear each week, and this Saturday is no exception. I spoke with the famers and new items I am hearing about include candy onions, yellow squash, savoy and red cabbage, red and black rasberries, red beats and cucumbers- and there may be a few others. I am sorry to say that the local strawberry season is over. It was good while it lasted, but we are back to eating the tasteless California and Florida varieties. Or, you can take advantage of the seasonal local berries that are still available. Locally grown items that will be available this Saturday Sweet Cherries Sour Cherries Blueberries Red and black rasberries Broccoli Yellow squash Zucchini Snow peas Micro greens Green onions Pickles Cucumbers Kale Collards Lettuce (several varieties) Savoy and red cabbage Red beats Stop by the Kistaco, Zang and Greenawalt booths for the fresh fruit and veggies. Oh, and speaking of beets and other locally grown stuff, Miriam Rubin is at again with her PG column "In the Garden." She has 3 great recipes, one for cabbage and 2 for beets. Please check it out: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/11181/1157003-34-0.stm ********************************************************* Please note that the Kew Park Coffee Bar, California Olive Oil Connection and PA Made Cheese will be open as normal this Saturday!
