[Highland Park] free hostas
by Michelle Butler 22 May '06

22 May '06

Anybody want some hostas? Ours have expanded wildly, and a friend tells me they can be thinned and transplanted pretty easily. I am basically ignorant about gardening with decorative plants (these were here when we moved in), but if you know what you're doing and would like to come get some of these, just drop me an email. Cheers, Michelle Butler

>From Jan Stayianos, Public Safety chairperson, HPCC I announced at the HPCC meeting last Thursday, and it will be in our next newsletter. I was told recently that the city Narcotics Dept. is working very closely with State and Federal agents to try to catch the "big guys" and that the zones will handle neighborhood complaints about drug activity. With that in mind, I am asking anyone who has a drug situation near their home to give me the information in writing, with as many details as possible, so that I can take all of the complaints together to the commander at zone 5. I still urge you to call 911 and utilize silent complaint forms so that the information is documented. You can drop anything off at 811 Farragut Street or put it in the mail. I hope to hear from a lot of you so we can all see where the drug activity is in Highland Park. Thanks for your attention to this very important matter, Jan Stayianos 412-363-8208

[Highland Park] Before School Care
by Alison Schwartz 20 May '06

20 May '06

Hi, I'm looking for a before school care option this fall for my son who will be starting kindergarten at Dillworth Academy. I usually leave my house between 7:00 and 7:15. The school day officially begins at 9:00, but children can be dropped off as early as 7:30 for unstructured play. I'm looking for someone who could provide this care on a regular basis getting him to school around 8:30, with the option to drop off earlier when necessary, or other options if people know of them. The pay rate is negotiable. Please feel free to contact me by phone 412-268-4580 day or 412-441-0713 evening or via email, alisons(a)andrew.cmu.edu. Thanks!
