[Highland Park] pediatric orthopedic surgeons?
by Stephanie Walsh 13 Nov '08

13 Nov '08

Hi all! I'm seeking recommendations for orthopedic surgeons, hopefully someone who specializes in pediatrics and/or feet. Our 4 year old was born with extra bones in her feet. She had her first surgery when we lived in Colorado and needs more. We weren't happy with the person our new pediatrician recommended here in Pittsburgh. We are hoping to find who is not only skilled, but also good with communication and who appreciates our concerns - these qualities are not as easy to find as you might think! Any feedback (positive or negative) would be welcomed. Thanks!

[Highland Park] Loose leaf pick-up?
by Valerie Cummings 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

I was hoping someone could tell me about loose leaf pick up in the neighborhood. I saw a truck on my street last week, and now I'm noticing people piling leaves at the curb again. Is the schedule for loose leaf pick up published somewhere? I got the mailing about bagged leaves being picked up by the recycling truck, but I don't think it said anything about loose leaves. Thanks!

[Highland Park] Please join me at the Union Project on Nov. 22!
by David Hance 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Dear Friends and Neighbors, Please join me on November 22, 2008 for the Union Project's 7th Annual Unwrapped fundraiser and party! The UP has grown into a great neighborhood institution and the ties between it and the HPCDC and HPCC go back to its earliest days. This year I am pleased to sit on the event's Honorary Committee. This organization was started by a group of young people who saw the hundred year old Union Baptist Church, once a cornerstone for the neighborhood, abandoned and falling apart and decided to do something about it. Seven years later, the building has been restored, it is the home to four small businesses, an office space for 6 organizations, welcomes 5,000+ a year to their community events, is a job training center for kids aging out of foster care and a center for civic engagement. The Union Project's businesses include stained glass restoration, a ceramics studio and co-op, office and events space rental, and Eat UP café. This is a non-profit building on the strengths of individuals and neighborhoods and I am proud to support it. The event, besides being a benefit for the Union Project, is going to be a great time. Unwrapped features unique entertainment, original local artwork, and live and silent auctions. The evening will showcase a short performance by the city's young talent with the Neighborhood Academy Balafon West African Drumming and Dance Ensemble. Unwrapped will be emceed by Andrew Stockey, Morning Anchor for WTAE Channel 4 Action News. The live and silent auctions will include gift certificates from local businesses, entertainment packages, travel certificates from Jet Blue airlines, and a custom fitted bicycle. The food is top notch and plentiful. Penn Brewery will be providing all of the beer and Boyd and Blair vodka will be used for the signature cocktails. VIP Happy Hour from 7-8pm will include vodka tasting with Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka, catering by big Burrito, specialty cocktails, live entertainment and an opportunity to personally select decals for a complimentary piece of hand crafted ceramics. VIP tickets are available online for $100 at www.unionproject.org <http://www.unionproject.org/> .Tickets for Unwrapped are available for purchase in advance for $40 for a single or two tickets for $75.

[Highland Park] This Sunday at St. Andrew's
by Bruce Robison 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

The St. Andrew's Five Talents Prayer Circle has now for over two years been passionately engaged with outreach and ministry in Lima, Peru. The main focus has been our collaboration through Five Talents International with micro-lending services initiated and supported in small communities where there can be ongoing training and personal support. These communities are often rooted in local Anglican ministries, and thus our "Five Talents Lima" outreach has brought us into partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Peru. Many of us will remember that this past spring the Very Rev. John and Susan Park visited St. Andrew's. <<http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/2008/09/seventh-easter-after-ascension-200…>> John is Dean of the Cathedral of the Good Shepherd,in Lima, and he and Susan are both supported in their ministry primarily through the South American Missionary Society (SAMS). The Five Talents Prayer Circle at St. Andrew's is hosting a Harvest Brunch on Sunday, November 16, with two "sittings" in Brooks Hall: 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m. An opportunity to enjoy food and fellowship, with proceeds from the Brunch and from Crafts Sales and a Silent Auction to be sent to SAMS in support of John and Susan's ministry. (Additional donations are of course gladly received as well.) Tickets for the Brunch are 10 for adults and children above 10 years of age. No charge for children aged 10 or younger. The tickets may be purchased in the Parish Hall on Sunday, November 9, or on the day of the Brunch. (Reservations recommended.) For more information, call Marty Federowicz at 412 487-6954 or the Church Office, 412 661-1245. It will be a great day of food and fun at St. Andrew's--and all to support a great ministry. Hope to see you there! BruceR http://www.standrewspgh.org http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/

[Highland Park] Thank You Neighbors!
by Mike Staresinic 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Dear Highland Park Neighbors, With the donations of neighbors from all over Highland Park, a lot of Elgin Street neighbors, Mellon Street neighbors including Bill and Bill of DoubleBees Dog Grooming, Dilworth teachers and parents, and Peabody High alumni, I've raised just about $3000 of my $4000 target. These funds donated to the LLS help stop leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma and myeloma from taking more lives. THANKS! to everybody in our community helping to cure blood cancers! Our neighbors have really demonstrated generosity. What a great place to live. The San Antonio Marathon is on Sunday. There is still a brief chance for anybody who can chip in at http://pages.teamintraining.org/wpa/rnrsa08/mstaresinic And visit http://pages.teamintraining.org/wpa/rnrsa08/mstaresinic again to see the results of the marathon with none of the sweat. The page will be active for about another week. Thanks again for your support! Mike Staresinic
