by caitlin 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

*Oak Wilt in Pittsburgh: A Special Education Session *Oak Wilt is a fast-spreading fungus that is affecting oak trees in the Pittsburgh region. Once the fungus is discovered in a population of trees, they must be removed. A 2-acre stand of trees were removed from Frick Park this spring, and *another large area of trees that are infected will be removed in Highland Park in late July/early August*. What is Oak Wilt and what are treatment options? Will it affect trees in your neighborhood? Join us for a special session with the Department of Forestry, Friends of the Pittsburgh Urban Forest, and Steve Miller from Bartlett Tree Experts in Highland Park. See the area where trees were recently removed, and learn more about this aggressive fungus, how to prevent it, and how it is treated. A Question & Answer session is included. Saturday August 7th 9am-11am Pool Grove Shelter Highland Park *RSVP: Caitlin(a)Pittsburghforest.o****rg or call 412-362-6360 *Please wear close-toed shoes and dress appropriately for walking outside. *This session is for adults only--please do not bring children under the age of 15. * Learn more about Oak Wilt in this article from the Post-Gazette: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/10154/1062753-455.stm -- "Time is how the trees grow. I will fall asleep for a thousand years and a mighty spruce will have raised me high, high into the sky."

[Highland Park] SAT Prep
by Thomas Dickson 27 Jul '10

27 Jul '10

For parents of high school students, I want to share the name of a wonderfully effective SAT prep company and tutor. Pittsburgh Prep. My daughter, Chelsea, went through Pittsburgh Prep's program and her SAT scores improved over 400 points. Many of her friends also went through the program and had similar results with an average gain of 260+ points. Along with the kids' hard work, I give much credit to Hoon Kim, Founder of Pittsburgh Prep ("PP"), as he is one of the most passionate, committed individuals I have had the pleasure to meet. Hoon is former Master Tutor at Princeton and Kaplan that started PP 2 years ago in my building (134 S. Highland Avenue, Pittsburgh 15206). PP has worked with students from many different high schools (Oakland Catholic, Ellis, Shady Side, Central Catholic, Quaker Valley, etc.). I believe the next SAT class starts the first of August. Hoon and his tutors, all of whom have tested in the top 1%, also offer private tutoring. www.pittsburghprep.com I want to share this for all children (and their parents) who may benefit from a better SAT score that provides the child more choice as to their school and possibly scholarship money. You are welcome to pass this along, of course, and feel free to contact me if you discuss our experience. Tom Dickson
