[Highland Park] String of burglaries across East End
by Rudolph T Maceyko 12 May '05

12 May '05

Last week there was a TV news story about a string of burglaries across the East End including Highland Park. The general areas in Highland Park which were hit were: Highview Portland and Janero Wellesley Ave and Mellon Hampton and Sheridan Winterton Jackson toward the park Beatty and Jackson (business) There's not a lot of information available other than these locations. (Thanks to Jan Stayianos for this information.) But since we don't know whether the culprit has been apprehended, it seems that more than the usual precaution is in order. There is a public safety meeting on Wednesday at 7:00 pm in case anyone is interested in perhaps finding out more about this particular crime spree. These meetings are held on the second Wednesday of each month at the Zone 5 Police Station on Penn Circle East (Euclid) and are open to the public. That's all I know... Rudy

They will also explore her concept of gardens-as-art and share their own creative experiences in their gardens. Participants will also help to plan the community events associated with the garden and have an opportunity to stay involved for the on-going maintenance of the garden.

A weekend stained glass restoration class has been announced that will repair and restore a large stained glass window that was removed from a six-unit apartment building at 839 N. Mellon Street, just one block from the Union Project. The Mellon Street property is part of a $4 Million renovation project of HPCDC and ELDI aimed at renovating 12 houses and a 7-unit apartment building all in the southwest quadrant of Highland Park. The weekend stained glass restoration class is being planned for August 12-14. Class members will pay $250 to learn the craft of stained glass restoration, while at the same time providing valuable assistance to three local non-profit organizations that serve East Liberty and Highland Park. To sign up for the class email Justin(a)unionproject.org or call 412-478-3105. Call for Weekly Volunteers Union Project is in need of several dedicated volunteers to spend a few hours each week at Storehouse, a Pittsburgh organization that redistributes abundance to local non –profits. Union Project representatives must volunteer approximately 12 hours per month in the warehouse doing jobs such as sorting, packaging, arranging, labeling, loading, and unloading, phone answering, paperwork, cleaning and building maintenance. If you are interested in supporting the Union Project in this way please contact Justin(a)unionproject.org or call 412-478-3105. _______________________________________________ update mailing list update(a)unionproject.org http://unionproject.mennonite.net/mailman/listinfo/update.unionproject
