[Highland Park] looking for an oversized flatbed scanner
by Rebecca Kennedy 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Hi, I'm looking for an oversized flatbed scanner in order to make a copy of an antique photograph. Kinko's only has scanners with rollers for oversized sizes. The piece is roughly 2 ft by 1 ft (series of 5 4x6 photos mounted together) If anyone knows of a printing service with this kind of ability or any suggestions please let me know--I'd like to get the duplicate looking as close to the original as possible. Thanks, Becky Kennedy r_l_kennedy(a)yahoo.com _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win 1 of 4,000 free domain names from Yahoo! Enter now. http://promotions.yahoo.com/goldrush

[Highland Park] The Fountain
by Rudolph T Maceyko 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

Greetings, Highland Park Neighbors! As many of you will no doubt have read in Saturday's Post-Gazette, the reconstructed reflecting pool and fountain are now finally complete: <http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04241/369259.stm> I'm fairly certain that the reporter is wrong when he wrote that the fountain was originally built in 1930. Photos and postcards dated 1900 and earlier show that the fountain has been there all along. It has been reconstructed several times, so perhaps that's where the date of 1930 came from. Anyway, the fountain was running Saturday morning when I was able to snap a few photos of my own. I've updated the Highland Park web site to include a current photo as well as the ones from 2002 and circa 1900 that were already there. The photo from 2002 may be of interest to new residents of the area, since it shows the reflecting pool being used the way it was for over 30 years: as a giant flower pot! <http://www.highlandparkpa.com/park/entry.htm> Further landscaping work around the fountain should begin soon. The entire area around the fountain is supposed to be complete in the spring of 2005. By the way, the fountain is not yet running continuously--it was not running yesterday evening or at all today that I saw. I don't know whether it will run regularly before spring. Rudy

Hello Highland Park! Shelly Danko+Day from Mellon street here. My husband and I have asked for your help for the neighborhood several times over the past few years, but now I need your help personally. My position at the Allegheny Conference has been eliminated and I am looking for a new adventure. A little about me...I have been in sales for over 5 years and have a successful track record.� I am a self starter, able to take initiative and willing to prospect.� I also have good phone skills, strong presentation and listening skills, effective closing skills and above-average problem-solving ability. There is a high level of urgency in my work, which I believe is critical for success. Throughout my career, employers, colleagues, and clients have commended my professionalism and attention to detail. I thrive on challenges and am highly motivated to achieve goals and deliver exceptional service to clients. If you know of any opportunities, please let me know and I will pass on my resume. Thanks!

[Highland Park] How are we doing?
by Rudolph T Maceyko 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Bob Staresinic (HPCC) president and I need your help to manage the Highland Park Neighborhood mailing list more effectively. Bob or I must approve every message that comes through the list--and sometimes those decisions are hard to make. So please let us know how we are doing so far; is there anything in particular that you really like about the list? or are there perhaps certain kinds of messages that you would prefer not to see on it? Here are some examples of hard decisions: - A neighbor who was recently laid off has asked whether it would be appropriate to send a resume to the list. Would you find that acceptable? - The message following this one introduces a neighbor and local business and includes a list of available properties in the area. Do you regard messages such as that one as useful, or as unwanted advertising? In case you dislike it for some reason, please send your feedback to me, not to her. Rudy
