[Highland Park] mulch
by Alison Bogle 16 Jul '09

16 Jul '09

Hello Neighbors, I am in need of mass quantities of mulch for a gardening project. Instead of buying individual bags, I would like to purchase a large amount and have it delivered. I'm looking for black mulch - I guess that would be pine bark? At any rate, can anyone recommend a company with a good and ideally well priced product? Thanks!

Hi everyone, As you guys may have heard, the man who attacked my friend last Friday has been caught. An anonymous tip was given to the police by someone who lives in the area. I want to thank everyone for their kind words and for looking out for this man. I made a ton of posters that I didn't even have to go hang up because of people like you guys who were already looking for him. Thank you to the police and to my neighbors for being vigilant and helping bring this man to justice. It's great to see that we can all look out for our neighbors. Many thanks, Anna Montano

[Highland Park] City Police Zone 5 Commander has retired
by msranders＠yahoo.com 14 Jul '09

http://postgazette.com/pg/09195/983739-53.stm Pittsburgh Police Cmdr. Larry Ross retires from Zone 5 Tuesday, July 14, 2009 By Jerome L. Sherman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Police Cmdr. Larry Ross, the top commander at the city police station where three officers were killed in April, retired last week. Cmdr. Ross stepped down on Friday, after 30 years as a police officer and a little more than one year as the top supervisor at the Zone 5 police station, which covers parts of the city's East End. "He just felt it was time for him to go," said Diane Richard, a police spokeswoman. "He gave 30 years of dedicated service. He will be missed by the officers and brass of the Police Bureau." Cmdr. Ross could not be reached for comment yesterday. He joined the bureau in 1979 and rose to the rank of sergeant in 1993. He served with the traffic unit of the bureau's Special Deployment Division. As a commander, he was the top officer at the Zone 3 station, before it moved from the South Side to Allentown. Last year, he was transferred to Zone 5. On April 4, three Zone 5 officers -- Eric G. Kelly, Paul J. Sciullo II and Stephen J. Mayhle -- were killed by a gunman in Stanton Heights, the deadliest day in Pittsburgh police history. "They were like my kids," Cmdr. Larry Ross told the Post-Gazette at the time. "He brought experience to this job," Ms. Richard said. "He came up through the ranks. Now he can relax a little." Lt. Kevin Kraus, a supervisor with the city's major crimes unit, is now the acting commander at Zone 5, Ms. Richard said. Jerome L. Sherman can be reached at jsherman(a)post-gazette.com or 412-263-1183.
