and the living’s easy in the City
Hello Neighbors!
Summer’s in full swing, and I hope that you’re all finding time to kick back, relax, spend time with friends and family, and enjoy all that our neighborhood and city have to offer this time of year.
In June, we held the HPCC’s Annual Meeting; a special meeting each year where we elect Officers and Board Members for the upcoming year, as well as report to the membership on committee activities and other major initiatives. This is the first year that the Annual Meeting has been held in June, following a vote last year to change the date from September. I, along with Vice President Scott Dietrich and Treasurer Paul Miller, would like to extend our deep and heartfelt appreciation to those who attended for reelecting us as officers of the HPCC for another year. I think I can speak for Scott and Paul when I say that we are honored to have been chosen to serve our neighbors through the HPCC, and look forward to working with you for another year to continue our success in building a vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming community in Highland Park.
We’re also delighted to be joined by Karin Manovich, who was elected as Secretary, succeeding Christine Adams. Karin joined the HPCC Board last year, and has been a fantastic addition to our team, volunteering her time and talent to many of our events and initiatives and contributing frequently to the HPCC newsletter. We’re extremely excited that she’ll be taking on additional responsibilities as Secretary, and confident that she’ll bring the same level of energy and enthusiasm to this new role. We’re also extremely grateful that Christine, though no longer Secretary, will be remaining a member of our Board and continue to play an important role in many of our projects.
Sadly however, the annual meeting also saw us lose three Board Members: Jamie McAdams, Amber Quick, and Janine Seale all reached the end of their terms and have rotated off the HPCC Board. All three were major contributors to numerous HPCC projects, particularly the House Tour, and though they will be missed at Board meetings, I’m happy to report that all three will continue to be involved in the work of our organizations through committees and other activities.
I’m also excited and proud to introduce the three new Board Members who will be replacing Jamie, Amber, and Janine: Sam Albano, Dave Grasso, and Mary Beth Green were elected to the Board for three year terms. Each bring unique talents and perspectives to the Board, and I look forward to working with each of them over the course of the next year and beyond. Sam, Dave, and Mary Beth - welcome aboard!
I’m excited about what the future holds for Highland Park and the HPCC, and hope that you are too. If you have any questions, concerns, or would like to get involved in any of our activities, please email me at [email protected] or call me at 412-478-7769.

HPCC June Meeting Minutes

In the past year alone, we’ve made strides by: Increasing and diversifying services to artists by renovating new artist studios and diversifying to include artists of color and artists who identify as LGBTQIA+. We grew the
Highland Park Pottery Tour (in collaboration with Highland Park potters) and Mother of All Pottery Sales to all-time highs - generating more than $70,000 in revenue for artists. We hosted PICT Classic Theatre’s 2016-17 Season and saw 8 more artists leave UP to pursue art as their career.
Looking back on Union Project During our Summer Appeal
By Jeffrey Dorsey, UP Executive Director
Union Project (UP) is over 15 years old this year. What was once an abandoned building is now a vibrant center for the community. Working with countless neighbors and friends, not only did we transform the appearance of a building - we redefined how a building can bring people together. We believe that the arts transform lives and we’re growing the ways we serve and empower people. That means growing the funds to support UP while simultaneously building capacity and growing mission-based programming and partnerships, and investing in critical infrastructure that can sustain our growth.

We are also making our lobby bathrooms fully ADA compliant this summer. And we designed and are implementing a new Client Relationship Management (CRM) system that will drastically improve our ability to communicate with people, as well as manage, analyze, and report on data from our artists, audiences, donors.
To support our work, we are conducting our Summer Appeal with a goal of $10,000. In August, I will attend the Highland Park Community Council Meeting to give our annual update including sharing how we are preparing to be one of several city-wide exhibit hosts of the
National Council on Education for Ceramic Arts (NCECA) next spring. In the meantime, please consider making a meaningful financial gift of support today at www.unionproject.org/support.
Connecting more deeply with the community including hosting the Creative Conversation Series, a monthly gathering of diverse community members, artists, and city officials that uses deliberative democracy to foster community-led dialogue and social change. We built new partnerships to create programs that address racial equity, the Black Lives Matter movement, youth empowerment, and understanding of the Muslim community. We hosted our 5th nationally known artists and are touring our outreach projects, like 1000 Birds and Community Blooms to dozens of neighborhoods around the city to demonstrate how the act of art-making can spread messages of hope, empathy, and connection. Growing more sustainable by growing staff and board capacity. We secured funds to construct a new state-of-the-art kiln shelter in our side yard this summer which will increase the accessibility, safety, and visibility of UP’s gas kilns in order to attract and retain artists.
But we still need you!
Signage will be installed around the reservoir detailing activities that are banned from the area. Residents should continue to alert our Emergency Dispatchers at 412.255.2423 (available 24/7) if they see any of these violations occurring in the area. Quick incident reporting to our emergency line optimizes PWSA’s response to the reservoir issues. The signage will be installed on the reservoir railing this summer.
The reservoir is open to the elements, and we have a large financial investment in the Microfiltration Plant to treat this drinking water and keep the reservoir available to the community. Making the necessary improvements to the reservoir, and quick incident reporting by committed residents of the community will enhance these efforts.
PWSA looks forward to a continued mutual focus on sustaining the Highland Reservoir 1 for its inherent beauty, and essential drinking water supply uses.
As an open drinking water reservoir, Highland Reservoir 1 in Highland Park is particularly vulnerable to environmental contaminants. PWSA is responsible for producing the highest quality drinking water for our customers. We also recognize that our reservoir is part of aneighborhood and community that is filled with beautiful natural and living assets toour city.
The value of this reservoir to the community is reinforced by the residents’ active notification of their concerns about its quality and interaction of wildlife. When residents using the reservoir area contact us quickly when they observe possible concerns, such as ducklings or foreign objects in the water, this greatly minimalizes the impact to wildlife and provides added security for our stored water. PWSA sincerely appreciates all the community assistance to manage our water sources!
After performing a site evaluation at the reservoir and discussions with the PA Game Commission, PWSA will repair the concrete curbing at the base of the railing surrounding the reservoir and other various improvements, which will secure the protected and regulated water from wildlife. These protective measures will be in place by the end of the summer.

here are a few things you can do to keep your garden looking fresh as we move into summer and
summer heat. Our plants do not have the luxury of air-conditioning, so following these hints can help keep your garden happy and productive through the summer.
Deadhead. Help your flowers continue to bloom by removing faded flowers from both perennial and annual plants. Many perennials will bloom a second time after deadheading and most annuals will continue to bloom. If they become too tall and leggy try sheering them back to 6 - 12 inches above the ground so they can branch and become stockier.
Prune. If your perennial flowers become too tall and leggy or flop open in the middle, try shearing them back to 6 - 12 inches above the ground. This causes them to branch and become stockier. The same goes for annuals flowers. If your annuals sprawl and develop bare stems at their bases prune them 4 - 6 inches to force more compact growth and renewed bloom. If you prune them before you go on vacation they should have grown back by the time you return.

Weed. Weed once a week. Weeds take water and nutrients out of the soil so removing them early in their growth cycle works well. They are easier to pull when they are young and the ground is moist, and if you remove weeds on a regular basis they do not have to chance to grow and spread seeds to the rest of your garden.
Water. Most garden plants prefer an average of 1 inch of water a week. It’s best to apply that inch all at once to encourage plant roots to sink down more deeply in the soil. Before watering plants, check to see if your plant really needs it - the top of the soil can look and feel dry, even though just below the soil line it is still moist. Stick your finger into the soil all the way to the second knuckle. If it feels dry at your fingertip, your plants need water. Containers may require more water than your garden, particularly if you are using clay pots. To encourage roots to grow to the bottom of your pot water until you see water coming out the bottom of the container.
Mulch. It is never too late to mulch. Add about 2 inches of mulch to your soil to keep the soil moist and weeds out.
Plant. Replace annuals that may be spent or damaged by pests, diseases or water problems with heat loving varieties. It’s not too late and it keeps the garden fresh and colorful.
Harvest. Harvest fruits and vegetables regularly. If they become overripe they could start attracting bugs that are not helpful to your garden.

Middle school is a critical time for youth. They make decisions during these years that have far-reaching consequences. One strategy to guiding students in the right direction is by matching them with mentors, giving them a positive role model right when it means the most.
The United Way’s Be a Middle School Mentor is a school-based mentoring program that matches caring adult mentors with middle school students to help them learn about real careers and jobs, to develop big dreams for their future, and to understand the importance of doing well in school. The program takes place at 18 schools in Pittsburgh where mentors meet their mentees once/week for 45 minutes to catch up and participate in activities that help students think about who they are, their aspirations, and the steps they can take to get there.
There are hundreds of students waiting to be matched for the upcoming school year! Can you dedicate 45 minutes during your lunch break once a week to be a mentor? See the United Way’s website uwswpa.org/be-a-middle-school-mentor/ for more info, click here to apply, or email Damon Bethea at [email protected] to learn more about the program.
I want to give a shout out to Jimmy and the folks at Goodyear Tire across from Home Depot. They have generously donated 3 tires to the Highland Park Super Playground to replace 3 that have become worn from years of happy use! Thank you!
THANK Y U!
Bug-proof Your Salads
The only thing worse than scratchy bug bites? Watching your guests swat insects away from the food you worked hard to prepare. Serve salads (yep, fruit too!) in oversized, lidded glass jars to keep things fresh and looking beautiful on your table this summer.

The SunA total solar eclipse presents a rare opportunity to observe the corona and chromosphere, the two outer most layers of the sun’s atmosphere.
Under normal circumstances, the bright yellow surface of the sun, called the photosphere, is the only feature we can observe. But during an eclipse, the moon blocks out that intense light, allowing scientists to observe the much dimmer solar atmosphere.
n Monday, August 21, 2017, all of North America will be treated to an eclipse of the sun. Anyone within the path of totality can see one of nature’s most awe inspiring
sights - a total solar eclipse. This path, where the moon will completely cover the sun and the sun’s tenuous atmosphere - the corona - can be seen, will stretch from Salem, Oregon to Charleston, South Carolina. Observers outside this path will still see a partial solar eclipse where the moon covers part of the sun’s disk. NASA created a website to provide a guide to this amazing event. There you can find activities, events, broadcasts, and resources from NASA and their partners across the nation - eclipse2017.nasa.gov/.

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE ON AUGUST 21, 2017
This unique map shows the path of the moon’s umbral shadow – in which the sun will be completely obscured by the moon – during the total solar eclipse of Aug. 21, 2017, as well as the fraction of the sun’s area covered by the moon outside the path of totality. The lunar shadow enters the United States near Lincoln City, Oregon, at 9:05 a.m. PDT. Totality begins in the United States in Lincoln City, Oregon, at 10:16 a.m. PDT. The total eclipse will end in Charleston, South Carolina, at 2:48 p.m. EDT. The lunar shadow leaves the United States at 4:09 p.m. EDT. A partial eclipse will be visible throughout the United States.
Lunar topography data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency’s SELENE lunar orbiter were used to precisely calculate the location of the moon’s shadow. Land shading is based on a global mosaic of images from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, and elevations are based on data from NASA’s Shuttle Radar Topography Mission. Planetary positions are from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory Development Ephemeris 421. Credit: NASA’s Scientific Visualization Studio
EXPERIENCE
THE2017 ECLIPSE
ACROSS AMERICAhttp://eclipse2017.nasa.govTHROUGH THE EYES OF NASA
www.nasa.gov NP-2016-11-525-GSFC
What Is the Chromosphere?The chromosphere is a thin layer of the sun’s atmosphere that lies just below the corona, and about 3,100 miles (5,000 km) above the
photosphere. It is only visible during total solar eclipses or with sophisticated
telescopes. The word comes from chromo—or “color”—for the
way this layer appears during eclipses: a thin, crimson ring around the edge of the sun, in contrast with the darkened moon and pearly-white corona.
Observing the Eclipse from Space
Several NASA missions will capture observations of the sun
from space during the 2017 eclipse. Most of the imagery, with the exception of
that from the Solar Dynamics Observatory, will not be available in real time, but will be shared publicly within a few days after the eclipse.
For information, visit eclipse2017.nasa.gov/
What Is the Corona?The corona is the outer atmosphere of the sun. It is made of tenuous gases and is normally hiding in plain sight, overwhelmed by the bright light of the sun’s photosphere. When the moon blocks the sun’s face during a total solar eclipse, the corona is revealed as a pearly-white halo around the sun. To study the corona, scientists use special instruments called coronagraphs, which mimic eclipses by using solid disks to block the sun’s face. During a natural total eclipse, however, lower parts of the corona can be seen in a way that still cannot be completely replicated by current technology.
Eclipse observations are important for understanding why the sun’s atmosphere is 1 million degrees hotter than its surface, as well as the process by which the sun sends out a constant stream of solar material and radiation, which cause changes in the nature of space and may impact spacecraft, communications systems, and orbiting astronauts.

St. Andrew’s has been on the corner of Hampton Street and North Euclid Avenue and at the heart of our Highland Park neighborhood for over a century. If there is a pastoral need that we can help with - a baby to be baptized, a wedding to celebrate, a sick or shut-in friend or neighbor to be visited, a family to support at the time of a death - please feel free to be in touch. Or if you just need to find some space for a meeting or a family gathering, or to borrow a few chairs, we’ll be glad to help if we can. Call us at 412.661.1245, e-mail us at [email protected], visit our website www.standrewspgh.org, and “Like” our Facebook Page. We’re always glad to hear from you!
idsummer is a great time around the neighborhood:mornings walking in
the park, afternoons at the pool--and looking forward to our “Reservoir of Jazz” concerts in the weeks ahead.
May it be truly a season of refreshment and renewal for all in the neighborhood--in our homes and families, in our schools, and in all the places where we work or play.
Around the St. Andrew’s scatter things get a little quieter in the summer. Our one Sunday morning service is at 10 a.m.--with a Children’s Chapel program and Nursery for infants and younger children during the service hour. (Regular service hours and educational programs resume on “Round Up” Sunday, September 10th!) But we do have a few activities of interest on the Parish Calendar this summer!
On Friday, August 4th, at 6 p.m., our monthly Family Movie Night will feature a showing of “Moana,” the 2016 animated film from the Walt Disney Studios. All ages welcome! Pizza and refreshments--and we’re all invited to bring something to share!
Then on Sunday August 6th a group from the parish will fill part of a section at PNC Park, as our Bucs are scheduled to defeat the San Diego Padres in a game that is to begin at 1:35 p.m. A few tickets remain, and if you’d like to join us please give Michelle a call in the St. Andrew’s Church Office.
