[Highland Park] House break-in on Heberton St.
by Karen James 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

Today between 11:00 am and 3:00pm the house at 1375 Heberton St. was broken into. The front door was pried open with a crow bar. A few electronic items were taken including a blue Dell Inspiron Laptop with a lot of pictures and videos of our son, and a Minolta 450 digital camera with more of the same on it as well. According to the police officer who came to talk with us, another house on Bunkerhill was broken into around the same time. He said that in this area break ins seem to happen in sprees like this. Thanks. Karen James. __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail - PC Magazine Editors' Choice 2005 http://mail.yahoo.com

[Highland Park] Loan of a microscope needed
by Diane C. DeNardo 30 Sep '05

30 Sep '05

My cadette Girl Scout troop is working on a "Sea to Shore" badge that includes studying sand under a microscope. Does anyone have a microscope that they can lend out the weekend of October 14th. The troop meets at Sacred Heart in Shadyside but the girls (ages 10 to 14) come from 5 different schools and several live in Highland Park. We will take very good care of it! Thanks, Diane 412 303 9737

[Highland Park] Reservoir tours?
by Jessica Sutara 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

I'm a chemistry teacher and I was wondering if it's possible to get a tour of the reservoir and the water filtering facilities? If anybody knows of whom I should contact about a tour, please let me know. We'd like to have the tour within the next couple of weeks while it's still warm outside, so the sooner the better! Thanks. Jessica Sutara

Greetings. I don't want to be inflammatory in any way, but as someone with two teenaged boys and who homeschooled until quite recently, I think that the previous statement regarding reporting school-aged students should be caveated in some way - it is not appropriate to assume that all "school aged" children who are outside of a school building during the day are engaged in illegal behaviors. There needs to be some sort of "rule of reason" here. If they are ducking into places they do not belong, or hiding their presence, then this should be reported. Otherwise, they may be on legitimate business and should not be traumatized by being brought to the detention center. Many things put students outside of school at odd hours - my older son will begin an internship in the near future that will take him out of school at noon for an entire trimester. Orthodontist's appointments and related activities have often required my boys to be on the streets alone during school hours. And, when my children were homeschooled, sometimes they would choose to walk to a store or to the library in the middle of the day, and this was appropriate behavior. Amy McCall Cordova Rd. From: Cheryl Pinto <cherylann24(a)yahoo.com> It is very important to report any school age children seen on the street during school hours to Pittsburgh Public Schools 412 622 3520 (School Safety) so that they can send patrol cars to pick them up and take them to detention for the parent to claim them. --- "Carrigan, Kate" <KCarrigan(a)dhs.county.allegheny.pa.us> wrote: > Monday, as I was driving up Jackson near Heberton, I > noticed 3 teenagers > walking up Heberton towards the park in the pouring > rain.

[Highland Park] theft
by Carrigan, Kate 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

Monday, as I was driving up Jackson near Heberton, I noticed 3 teenagers walking up Heberton towards the park in the pouring rain. It struck me as they were obviously high school age and it was 9:30 a.m. Later that morning, I drove up Jackson and saw them running out of a neighbor's driveway. I called 911, circled around and saw one of the homeowners out in the driveway. A burglar alarm had gone off. Although they had nothing visible when I saw them, they must have doubled back later for 2 bikes on a porch. All 3 were black males, tall, slim, and dressed in dark clothing. Kate
