[Highland Park] plumbing recommendations needed for stack repair
by Deirdre Hainsworth 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

We are looking for a recommendations for a plumber who has experience with repairs on soil stacks in older houses. We have a brick Victorian that apparently has a problem in the stack between the second and third floors. Our usual plumber was able to help us diagnose it but doesn't do those types of jobs. Also, if anyone has gone through this sort of repair before, we'd be grateful for any advice on what to look for in getting estimates. Thanks! - Deirdre

[Highland Park] Celebrate 250 Event
by Bruce Robison 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

A CELEBRATE 250! SPONSORED EVENT 2008 St. Andrew Lecture Friday, October 17, 8 p.m. In a season of uneasiness in the wider Anglican world, and as that uneasiness is felt with special emphasis here in Pittsburgh, the Adult Programs Committee of St. Andrew's Church has invited historian Jeremy Bonner to join us as our Featured Speaker for the 2008 St. Andrew Lecture. Dr. Bonner is the commissioned author of the soon-to-be-published, “Called Out of Darkness Into Marvelous Light: A History of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh, 1750-2000.” The title of Dr. Bonner's presentation at St. Andrew's, "Episcopal Dawn, Anglican Sunset: A Scholar's Reflections on Pittsburgh's Episcopal Experience," is intended to draw upon his work as author of the recently-completed history of the 250 years of Anglican and Episcopal Church presence and ministry in Southwestern Pennsylvania as a framework for reflections on the present crisis and as a context for thoughts about what the future may hold. Jeremy Bonner received his PhD in history from the Catholic University of America in 2001 and was subsequently the J. Franklin Jameson Fellow in American History at the Library of Congress from 2001 to 2002 He is the author of _The Road to Renewal: Victor Joseph Reed and Oklahoma Catholicism, 1905-1971_ (Washington DC: Catholic University of America Press, 2008) and over the past three years has completed a manuscript history of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh. His published work has appeared in the Journal of Morman History and Anglican and Episcopal History, in which his most recent scholarship features as "The Pittsburgh Paradigm: The Rise of Confessional Anglicanism in Southwestern Pennsylvania, 1950-2000." For over a decade the St. Andrew's Lecture has featured speakers addressing topics of significant concern in our community. Please invite your friends, and join us on October 17. St. Andrew's is located at 5801 Hampton Street, between N. Highland and N. Negley Avenues, one block south of Bryant Street and four blocks south of the park, in the East End Pittsburgh neighborhood of Highland Park. Call 412 661-1245 for more information. http://www.standrewspgh.org http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/

[Highland Park] kittens - one more time
by Meg Reilly 12 Oct '08

12 Oct '08

Hello, I posted about these kitties a couple months ago, but have had no luck finding them a home so I thought I'd try one more time. I have been fostering some kittens. They are about six months old, have all their shots and are fixed. One boy, an orange tabby, is very cuddly and purry, loves pets and tummy rubs. Another boy, a grey tabby and white, is a bit more shy, but has started accepting and enjoying gentle pets and likes to come sit with you if you're watching TV or something. both love to play with cat teasers and laser toys. They are both really nice cats and I'm desperate not to have to bring them to a stressful shelter environment. I'd like to place them together, since that will help the grey one adjust better to a new environment. Please PLEASE if anyone can make a really good home for these guys email me or call me 412-901-0901. Thank you so much. Meg
