Kindred Hospital to be absorbed by LifeCareNorthside residents seeking

long-term hospital care will soon need to travel an extra five miles to South Jackson Avenue after Kindred Hospital, 1004 Arch St., closes at the end of the summer.

LifeCare Hospitals of Pitts-burgh recently announced its up-coming acquisition of Kindred Hospital Pittsburgh Northside lo-cation. The purchase, announced on May 30 in a LifeCare Hospi-tals release, will close at the end of the summer. The closing date is yet to be determined accord-ing to Kim Sperring, CEO of Lif-eCare Hospitals of Pittsburgh.

The Kindred Northside lo-cation is no longer accepting new patients, but LifeCare’s other locations on South Jack-son Avenue—located five miles from Kindred— Penn Avenue, Natrona Heights and McGin-ley Road in Monroeville are open to city residents seeking long-term acute hospital care.

Long-term acute care usu-ally includes hospital stays be-tween 25 and 30 days for pa-tients with multiple diagnoses, chronic illness or “significant loss of independence,” according to Kindred Hospital’s website.

LifeCare, like Kindred Hos-

pitals, will offer nursing care to “individuals with tracheotomies, patients with non-healing wounds and those with multiple diagnoses.”

“As the leading provider of post-acute care services in the Pittsburgh area, acquiring the [Northside] operation and serving that area of the community pro-vided a natural opportunity for us to serve an even greater patient base,” Sperring said in an email.

Sperring said LifeCare “does not plan to operate a hospital at the [Allegheny Commons] lo-cation” and that plans for the building after the deal closes still need to be determined.

LifeCare, Sperring said, has no part in what happens to Kin-dred employees at the Northside location after the acquisition, but did say that she hopes Lif-eCare can “grow” their ser-vices and “that growth will likely require an increase in our workforce at some point.”

“Kindred is in the process of closing the hospital, and it is our understanding they have provided WARN act letters to all employees of the [North-side] hospital,” Sperring said.

Bicycle Heaven lands reality television show

Forget the movie sets Down-town—a reality show about oil stains, a family business and bicycle enthusiasts could be coming to the Northside.

Bicycle Heaven, a bicycle re-pair shop, retail store and history

museum in the RJ Casey Indus-trial Park on Columbus Avenue, is under consideration by some television studios as the site for a reality show similar to American Pickers on the History Channel.

A look inside the USS Requin, a Science Center staple

Spying on Russia. Notify-ing the U.S. Navy ships and air-planes of enemy combat. Prepar-ing and experimenting with new technology. This all came from the USS Requin submarine, ac-cording to Carnegie Science Cen-ter staff educator Maria Renzel.

Inside the Requin, one post-er recruiting young men to the Navy feature Betty Grable in a Navy uniform. Another post-er showed an attractive female and male in Navy clothing.

Renzel said men interested in serving on the Requin were selected by the Navy and went through six months of training.

Renzel then spoke about how the Navy used the Requin to help fight off the enemy.

“The USS Requin would sig-

nal out and locate any threat from the enemy and radio back to the Navy fleet what was coming so they could prepare,” she said.

Renzel included that the way it communicated, it used Norse code and the radio.

“After World War II, the Requin tried new radar to see if it could pick up more detail,” Renzell said.

Science Center visitors walked the long, narrow, black padded top, they went down the steps

into the wide, narrow Requin.Gina DelGrecco, a part-time

employee of the Science Center, gave further details of the Requin and explained the torpedo room.

“They entered from the above hatchway, “ DelGrecco said.

After that she gave further information about the crew.

“It was an all-male crew un-til about 3 or 4 years before it stopped it’s missions,” she said.

Del Grecco continued ex-

plaining about the Stern Room and Torpedo compartment.

“They’d launch torpedoes from the front to back,” DelGrecco said.

According to the brief explana-tion written on the small black mark-er, the Stern Room was converted into a Combat Information Center.

The Requin’s officers din-ing and living quarters ap-peared large, wide, and elegant.

Their living quarters were larg-er with a desk and typewriter. Their dining room was wide with spar-kling shiny silver cups, and plates.

Other crew members of Re-quin slept on several wide bunk beds stacked together with 3 beds that went along the left side of most of the submarine. Let-ters and magazines were on their beds. Their uniforms of brown, white, and blue colors were hung up neatly in small, tiny closets.

Northside Public SafetyOn the first Tuesday of August,

Pittsburgh residents won’t be turning their lights off– they’re leaving them on for a reason.

Pittsburgh’s Northside communities, along with more than 16,000 other communities nationwide will host “America’s night out against crime,” more recently known as National Night Out on Tuesday August 5, 2014.

N o r t h s i d e Public Safety President David Stacey wants to encourage Northsider’s to get out in the streets, turn on their lights and sit on their stoops in support of NNO.

On National Night Out, P i t t s b u r g h residents may attend any of the neighborhood events going on throughout the city from 5 to 8 p.m. Events usually include symbolic front porch vigils and candles left in front windows when residents are home.

Last year Pittsburgh held 42 separate events. Pittsburgh Department of Public Safety representative John Tokarski said the city hopes for more this year.

From June 1-30, approximately 623 incidents were reported throughout the Northside, which led to approximately 204 arrests.

The Northside Public Safety Council is a nonprofit corporation composed of community leaders, businesses, government officials

the Housing A u t h o r i t y , property owners and the Zone 1 Pittsburgh P o l i c e .

T h e N o r t h s i d e Public Safety C o m m i t t e e meets the first Thursday of each month at 5:30 p.m. on the mezzanine level of The Northside L e a d e r s h i p C o n f e r e n c e ’s

offices at 4 Allegheny Center. All are welcome.

A useful resource for the community is the Zone 1 website at www.communitysafety.p i t t s b u r g h p a . g o v .

For questions or concerns regarding crime or police presence, contact the Zone 1 Community Relations Officer, Forrest Hodges at forrest.hodges@pi t t sburghpa .gov.

It’s estimated that 6,000 peo-ple poured into the Northside on Saturday, July 12 for the daylong Deutschtown Music Festival, ac-cording to Co-founder Ben Soltesz.

Soltesz said he contributes the high volume of attendees to the earlier start of the bands this year and the great press the event re-ceived leading up to the festival.

“Everyone had a great time and we didn’t hear a lot of com-plaints,” Soltesz said. “It was incident free and we had great [feedback] from the bands.”

Slim Forsythe & his New Payday Loners played in the 3 p.m. time slot on the Park Stage in Allegheny Commons East. Lead singer Kevin “Slim” For-sythe told the crowd, “You’re making us feel right at home.”

Annie Posset, a registered nurse from South Hills, said it was her first year attending the

festival, but after ten minutes of festival music, Posset said she thought the event was “pretty cool.

“I think [the festival] helps people to get to know their community,” Posset said. “People get to see what is out here [on the Northside].”

Soltesz said there was a core group of about five people who helped plan the event, along with 18 to 20 volunteers, but in its en-tirety the event would not “work without the Northside and with-out the neighborhood residents.”

“That’s the point of it,” Soltesz said. “Without their general sup-port we couldn’t do [the festival].”

Cody Walters, co-founder for the music festival, said he learned from last year’s event and this year

did more to get the word out through fundraisers and radio interviews with the participating bands.

“We had a whole year to plan for the festival this time around,” Walters said.

Soltesz said within the com-ing weeks, the core committee for the festival will meet to analyze the event, figure out what they can do better, and possibly pick a date for next year’s festival.

Newspaper fashion show ignites children’s imaginations

Adoring fans and photog-raphers showed up to watch models show off their lat-est fashions – which consisted entirely of old newspapers.

The Allegheny Center Alli-ance Church Children’s Ministries kid’s summer program put on its 4th Annual Newspaper Fashion Show. The models, who created each of their very own distinc-tive works on their own, ranged in age from first to sixth grade.

The inspiration for each of the costumes included princesses, ninjas, knights, guards from the Ancient Roman era, fashionis-tas, basketball players, pilgrims, transformers, wizards and more.

Sean Meyercheck, ACAC out-reach assistant, called out the names of each of the models while music played and colored lights flashed across the room. The audience was packed with family and friends who snapped pictures of the mod-els as they strutted, skipped and ran down the temporary runway.

Krista Mueller, ACAC Chil-dren’s Ministries outreach di-rector, said the kids spent about three days on their costumes.

“I hope [the audience] had as much fun watching the show as we did making the costumes,” Mueller said.

Preston Johnson, father of two

models in the show, Corrin and Con-rad, said he enjoyed hearing about his kids’ ideas for their costumes.

“They had a fun time pick-ing what they wanted to make,” Johnson said. “They get to ex-press their individuality.”

Amour, sixth grade, said she was really excited about the show because it’s experience for what she want to be when she’s older.

“I want to be a model when I grow up,” Amour said.

Donna Allison, the invest-ment officer at the Northside Community Development Fund,

donated stacks of The North-side Chronicle to be used for the newspaper fashion show.

Northside hospital could leave more than 150 people without jobs if LifeCare does not seek to hire them.

“The company does not dis-cuss its acquisition strategy,” Sperring said, “but our hospi-tals look forward to continu-ing to serve the Pittsburgh com-munity long into the future.”

The LifeCare Family of hos-

pitals has 24 specialty care fa-cilities across nine states.

“We look forward to building on our relationships with physi-cians, case managers and health-care administrators throughout the Pittsburgh area as we increase our presence in the region and continue to expand our servic-es,” Phillip B. Douglas, Chair-man and CEO of LifeCare Hold-ings LLC said in the release.

Johnny Angel is bringing ginchy back.

Jack Hunt, also known by his stage name Johnny Angel, is opening a retro memorabilia store called Ginchy Stuff on 3623 California Ave. The grand opening will be on Friday, August 8 from 12 to 7 p.m.

Mike Vale, an original mem-ber of Tommy James and the Shondells, will be at the opening signing autographs around 4 p.m. Hunt said Vale wrote the hit song “Crystal Blue Persuasion” and was co-writer and bass play-er for most of Tommy James and the Shondells hits.

As for the name of the store, the word “ginchy” derives from the 1950s slang term for “cool.”

With the collectables that can be found in Hunt’s store, the name seems fitting.

Hunt’s first record came out on Steel Town Sound Records with The Cordells when he was 15-years-old, and he began collecting rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia from the 1950s, 60s and 70s while on tour.

“People thought I was cra-zy because I wouldn’t open

the packaging,” Hunt said.After 60 years of collecting,

Hunt had filled two storage units, two attics, a spare room and the back room of a friend’s grocery store with memorabilia. He said he never thought he would get rid of any of the mementos, but as Hunt got older he decided to share his passion with oth-er collectors who appre-ciated the vintage items.

To take on running the store, Hunt is stepping down from his daily management at PNC Atria’s. Hunt is part owner of eight Atria’s, four Ditka’s, and two Juniper Grill restaurants.

“Being at Atria’s and Dit-ka’s 60 hours a week takes a toll, but I will still be perform-ing with the band and spending more time [at Ginchy Stuff].”

Hunt still regularly per-forms with Johnny Angel’s All Star Jam Band, Joe Lagnese Big Band, Mojo Jojo, and of course, Johnny Angel and the Halos.

Regular store hours will be ev-ery day from noon to 5 p.m. and by appointment where Hunt will give a tour of the store and al-low customers to spend time pe-rusing through the keepsakes.

‘Ginchy Stuff’ opening on California Avenue

The Northside Chronicle was contacted by East Hills Paranor-mal to tag along on its exploration of Riverview Park in search of ghostly activity. The investigation took place on Wednesday, July 9.

East Hills Paranormal has been to Riverview Park before to inves-tigate supernatural happenings, and that is part of the reason mem-bers decided to come back again.

On the previous visit, a member of the organization took a photo near a picnic table along the road that runs through the park and captured an orb, which are believed to be ghosts in the form of balls of light.

East Hills Paranormal member Fred Broerman said that he believed the entirety of Riverview Park may be home to many spirits, as he has heard rumors that there are Native American burial grounds in the park and structures of old homes where people could have died, and their souls could still be lingering.

Before the investigation began, Broerman explained the equip-ment used to pick up paranormal activity: a heat gun, voice record-er, voltage meter, and a standard digital camera and video camera.

Broerman, along with fellow member Brian Reed, first began investigating in the area around the picnic table where the orb was first captured using the digital and vid-eo cameras. To coax the spirits to engage with the East Hills Paranor-mal team, Broerman said loudly, “Are there any spirits here? We’re not here to harm you. We are here to prove there is life after death.”

After using the cameras, Broerman used the heat gun to try and pick up any cool spots surrounding the area.

“When its cooler, be-tween the 70s and 50s, it can sometimes mean something is there,” Broerman said.

Reed then took out the voice recorder to see if any spirits would interact with the team when questions were asked.

Any spirits in the area did not seem to make themselves present in the first area, but that doesn’t mean the equipment didn’t pick up ghostly evidence. Broer-man said after the investigation they would give their findings to fellow member Josh Shel-ton to go over on a computer.

The team traveled to several more spots in the park to try and interact with the paranormal. In one instance, it sounded like the team successfully picked up some-thing, or someone, breathing into the voice recorder while Broerman and Reed were asking questions. The recorder was sitting on the ta-ble away from everyone’s faces, so it isn’t likely the recorder picked up any living person breathing.

The last stop at Riverview Park was an old home foundation near Locust Grove where Broerman was told by a resident that a mur-der and suicide had taken place.

Nothing was picked up on in that area, at around 7 p.m. and still light outside.

“Personally, it seems like we get more activity at night,” Reed said.

Before the sun set, The Northside Chronicle left River-view Park in one piece, leaving East Hills Paranormal to inves-tigate the bumps in the night.

East Hills Paranormal is based out of Pitcairn and looking for new members. If interested, visit its Facebook page or email [email protected].

Ghost hunting in Riverview Park

“This event is for the birds.”That was the consensus Satur-

day night at the National Aviary for its annual Night in the Trop-ics fundraiser, which raised $190,000 for America’s only independent indoor nonprof-it zoo dedicated to birds.

Robin Weber, director of marketing and communica-tions at the Aviary, said she was thrilled with the event overall.

“The theme really ignited people’s interests and it was very successful in fundraising and attendance,” Weber said.

There were nearly 1,000 people in attendance and this year the Aviary surpassed their fundraising goal by $15,000, Weber said.

Guests were asked to dress in tropical and fiery colors, as this year’s theme was fire and there were performanc-es by the Steel Town Fire.

Weber said that this year “more than ever, people were able to connect with the Aviary’s mis-sion and the birds” in general.

“Mission moments scat-tered through the aviary and the bird show in the [Rose] Garden were [interactions that] people really enjoyed,” Weber said. “[People got] the opportunity to see all of the different things the aviary does besides the things you get to see every day on your average visit.”

The mission moments in-volved certain birds and a han-dler that stood throughout the Aviary to educate guests on that specific bird, so attend-ees could interact with the birds their money was going to help.

A screech owl named Bark-

ley was one of the birds included in the mission moments. He was acquired by the Aviary from a re-hab center and is missing one eye, which is thought to have been lost during a fight with another animal.

Todd and Cynthia Shaf-fer were attendees of this year’s Night in the Tropics, and loved the birds placement in the Aviary.

“[You] turn a corner and there is something to interact with,” Cynthia said. “[The Aviary did] a really good job with the bird shows and fire performances, it was a really relaxed atmosphere.”

Both said that the “food was ex-cellent, but the band was better.”

Jimbo and the Soupbones performed from 7 p.m. un-til the party ended at 11 p.m.

Weber said this year she received a lot of posi-tive comments about the food and the tasting experience.

“The layout was great and everyone had the opportunity to get a true sense of the res-taurants there,” Weber said.

After riding a bicycle for three hours around Pittsburgh and touring gardens in the hot sun, an ice-cold beer will be a well-earned reward.

Growth Through Energy and Community Health (GTECH), a Pittsburgh community develop-ment company on Hamilton Av-enue, will host its 3rd annual “Two Bikes and Lots of Green” bicycle tour of Pittsburgh’s ur-ban green spaces in-cluding public parks and gardens. A tick-et to ride includes bike insurance and one beer at the end of the tour.

“It’s going to start at our of-fice and then ideally, if all the city permits go through, it’ll end at the Larimer Vil-lage Green,” Sara Innamorato, GTECH spokesperson said.

The Aug. 16 bike ride will begin at 10 a.m., and interested riders may purchase tickets for either the “long-ride,” which is 25 miles and will end at approxi-mately 2:30 p.m., or the shorter one, an eight mile ride lasting about an hour and a half. Tick-ets for both are $12 plus a $1.65 processing fee.

Throughout both tours rid-ers will stop to relax in outdoor spaces, such as a new commu-nity garden behind the Knoxville

Library on Brownsville Road.“These are spaces that were

once vacant and the community has gotten together and trans-formed the space,” Innamorato said. “This year we’ll be fea-turing some past projects and some new features as well.”

Innamorato said GTECH runs its community gardens in a vari-ety of ways. Sometimes, she said,

the community will decide to charge a certain price per bed in the garden, whereas other times the garden will be open and the pro-duce collected dis-tributed evenly to the community.

The Larimer Village Green is the newest feature of this year’s ride. Innamorato said this space will be a “city of play” with outdoor games like corn hole and ladder ball set up on the premises. She said GTECH hopes to install more play sites on vacant lots around the city.

In the event’s previous two years Innamorato said GTECH has had about 90 riders and that they hope to have at least 150 riders this year.

“We determined that there’s about 5,000 vacant lots in the Northside,” Innamorato said. “There are 2,000 that are in need of some rehab with minimal ef-fort. Gardens and green spaces re-quire some effort to take care of.”

er and owner of Bicycle Heaven said everything is “in the works” for the show, but that he cannot say any more regarding dates or which studio may run the show. However, he did say that the show will feature his family who work in the shop, much like American Pickers and American Restora-tion, also on the History Channel.

“It’ll be a little bit like the Pickers and sort of about the mu-seum and sort of about every-thing all in one,” Marrow said.

After receiving the offer for the TV spot about six months ago, Marrow called Rick Dale, owner of Rick’s Restorations and star of American Restorations.

“There’s a lot of stuff in-volved,” Marrow said. “I wanted to make sure I wanted to do this.”

During the last several months,

Marrow said television producers stopped by Bicycle Heaven to do some light and preliminary film testing and that they’ve just got to “pull it all together” and sell the show to a particular network. This year Bicycle Heaven has be-come well acquainted with fame.

During the upcoming Russell Crowe film Fathers and Daughters that was recently filmed in Pitts-burgh, Marrow rented out some of the bikes from his shop to be used in a scene where Crowe’s char-acter taught his daughter to ride.

“Russell Crowe came down to the museum,” Marrow said. “I was away picking bikes up but my sister met him. He looked sort of grubby. You wouldn’t recognize him. He came in on a bike—he’s [an] avid bike rider.”

Bicycle Heaven, home to 3,500 bicycles, is the largest bicycle shop in the United States and opened

three years ago. Walt Haim, 21, saw signs for the shop on the trail near Carnegie Science Cen-ter and decided he’d make a stop one day before riding the 20 miles to his home in North Fayette.

“Now my favorite part of this place is how expansive it was. The museum is a small part,” Haim said. “Through the door is their epic col-lection of Schwinn Stingrays.”

Though the shop does have many Schwinn bicycles, Mar-row said the most impressive part of his collection is the large number of Bowden Spaceland-ers, the first fiberglass bike ever made which was designed in the 1940s. Marrow said there are only around 40 Spacelander bikes in the country and his shop has 15.

McGarry Luginski, who lived in the Northside until this Febru-ary, said he tries to be an avid cy-clist. A friend who Luginski bikes

with recommended Bicycle Heav-en last spring, and Luginski said he loved the Pee Wee Herman replica bike from the Pee Wee movie.

“Pittsburgh is coming up as far as being a bike friendly town,” Luginski said. “It’s not at the level it should be yet, but it’s definitely getting there.”

With all the media attention the shop’s gotten over the last few months, Marrow’s wife Mindy decided to open a massage ther-apy spa and nail salon next door to Bicycle Heaven for possible bike trail riders looking to take a break from riding and relax.

For now, Marrow said he is happy going to bicycle trade shows and riding the trails.

“People are catching on to what I’m doing,” he said. “That’s a good thing and I’m glad about that. And the neatest thing about the museum is: everybody has a bike story.”

NS developer creates Steampunk haven

A science fiction subgenre is no longer confined to the imagination, thanks to one de-veloper on the Northside.

James Hoy can be spotted rid-ing his custom chopper, probably covered in some fresh spatters of paint from a long day’s work, to his newly finished Steampunk themed property, 400 Alpine Ave., which is currently up for grabs.

Steampunk is a science fic-tion subgenre that often incorpo-rates elements of steam-powered machinery and the Old West.

“Steampunk is Jules Verne and H.G. Wells,” Hoy said.

Hoy also compared Ste-ampunk to the television show, The Wild Wild West, which aired in the 1960s.

Hoy said the idea for the Ste-ampunk project struck him in the first five minutes when he walked through the door of the house on Alpine. Hoy’s artistic talent seems to have been inherited by his two children. His daughter illustrates children’s book and his son works as an architect.

Edison bulbs give the house a soft golden glow – which Hoy said looks “really magnificent” in the evening – and industrial windows give the house a sleek metal look.

The house includes a piano room – which Hoy will occa-sional play for guests – a kitch-en, two bathrooms, a study and a master bedroom with a view of downtown. A spiral stair-case connects the two floors.

Hoy incorporated objects, such as old doors, Singer sew-ing machines, bricks from aban-doned buildings, reused granite,

wood, slate and other materials.“Why tear up the sides of moun-

tains for that [slate]?” Hoy said.Hoy also decorated the

house with paintings from lo-cal artist, Brandon Jennings.

Hoy found a lot of the mate-rials used in the renovation from junk yards, old buildings and from locals selling their antique furni-ture. He frequents a local junkyard owned by the Warhola family, relatives of contemporary artist Andy Warhol, according to Hoy.

Hoy said the junkyard workers often give Hoy a call when they find something they think might in-terest him for one of his projects.

The sinks in both the bath-rooms are supported with old Singer Sewing Machine stands. The bed in the master bedroom has a reused antique-looking door that serves as a headboard. Hoy said he thought of the idea right before people arrived for the open house and simply screwed the old door right into the wall.

Hoy and his crew built a pizza oven in the kitchen, built of bricks from the old Paramount Studio Film Vault, 1727 Boulevard of the Allies.

Hoy appreciates the histori-cal value of the old pieces he incorporated into his house.

The study room on the sec-ond floor has a row of seats that had once sat in an old Catholic church that was closed down. The section, which includes three seats, still has the old metal numbers on their backs.

“Those seats are over 100 years old,” Hoy said. “Think about all the people who’ve sat in those seats.”

“Lookin’ good Randy!”Randy Gibson put down his

brush to wave and call out his thanks to the car that rolled by his home. After three decades of giving to the Northside with his paint, his flowers and his smiles -- the community came together to give back to Gibson.

Gibson is the owner, creator and self-proclaimed keeper of smiles at Randyland, 1501 Arch St., a community urban garden in his backyard he opened to the neighborhood in the 1990s.

Over the years some of the fea-tures at Randyland, like the map of the Northside Gibson painted on the side of his house, have faded and cracked after years of exposure to Pittsburgh weather.

Gibson held a Randyland Kick-starter campaign to raise money to restore the garden, and his goal was

$10,000. After fundraising for 30 days, from June 22 through July 22, Gibson received $12,525 in dona-tions from 288 community mem-bers and Randyland enthusiasts.

“Thank you,” Gibson said. “Thank you from ev-ery fiber of my being.”

With his contagious smiles and his unmistakable sunshine-blonde hair, Gibson may be the most popular guy on the Northside.

“Everybody beeps and stops by,” Gibson said.

On the first day Randy began the restoration project, Dan Scar-paci was working construction across the street from Randyland.

“Randy made my day a whole lot better by just be-ing there,” Scarpaci said. “He’s just a really positive person.”

Sean McKeag, a Point Park graduate, is currently filming a doc-umentary about Randy. McKeag said he had met Randy a few years

earlier when he and some friends visited the garden, to take pictures.

“I sent Randy some of the pictures and he loved them,” McKeag said.

Now that McKeag has time to devote to the documentary, he said he hopes to finish the film in the next few weeks.

Gibson said Randyland was “built from smiles” and people can’t help but smile when they vis-it his one-of-a-kind home. The gar-den is an explosion of bright color. Gibson and volunteers paint-ed the surrounding build-ings, while Gibson has spent years collecting unwanted ob-jects to display at Randyland.

People come to Randyland from a few blocks up the street, while others come from the other side of the world to take pictures, chat with Gibson and to simply marvel at the plethora of color and images that make up the gar-den. Randyland is open daily, 1 to 7 p.m, and is free to the public.

Gibson learned his selflessness from his mother, a woman who al-ways showed compassion for oth-ers despite the hard times she faced raising six children on her own.

Gibson said there had been trouble between his parents, so his mother moved her chil-

dren from Titusville to Mead-ville and then to Pittsburgh when Gibson was in third grade.

Gibson’s mothers always left open places at her dinner table dur-ing Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mrs.Gibson invited single mothers like herself and their children to join the Gibson’s for holiday feasts.

“Mom taught me that even though we were poor, oth-er people were having hard-ships too,” Gibson said.

Gibson said as he got older he began “sneaking” into the yards of his elderly neighbors to cut their grass and trim their hedg-es. Many of them offered him money to continue his services.

Gibson’s sense of giving has remained. Except for the re-cent Kickstarter, Randyland is funded almost entirely from Randy’s wages as a waiter at a downtown hotel restaurant and the sales of Randyland merchan-dise, like the Randyland T-shirts.

Gibson said one of the beautiful things about Pittsburgh is the love he felt as a child and still feels as an adult from the locals. He describes the Northside as a “people-hood.”

“The Northside doesn’t judge you,” Gibson said. “The people will accept you, care about you and love you.”

‘Welcome Back’ Parent Night at Schiller 6-8On August 21, Schiller 6-8

will hold a “Welcome Back” Parent Night that will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the auditorium.

Guest speaker Ross Owens will talk about “Closing the Ra-cial Achievement Gap” until 6 p.m. when Mrs. Heinzman and

Mrs. Owens will offer welcom-ing remarks and announce other useful information for parents.

At 6:30 p.m., parents will move to separate rooms speci-fied for their child’s grade to talk about information relating to cur-riculum, expectations, home-

work practices and grading.From 7 to 7:30 p.m. parents

will then move into the gymnasium for a community resource fair, the cafeteria for light refreshments.

In Room 114 haircuts will be given from 5:30 until 7:30 p.m.

Schiller believes that all chil-

dren can learn at high levels, and that education begins with a safe and healthy learning environment. Families are an essential part of the educational process, and a commit-ment from the entire community is necessary to build a culture that encourages student achievement.

“These are the kids I love!”Pittsburgh Oliver City-

wide Academy, a 2011-2012 STAR school, has a new principal, Jessica Colbert.

The former principal of Pitts-burgh Concord hit the ground running with specific tasks to ac-cumulate herself with the school, strengthen and develop school and community-based partner-ships, and break down the barri-ers of how Pittsburgh Oliver City-wide is received by the public.

Colbert intends to establish more relationships with area or-ganizations and the school’s students by “building their ca-pacity to connect with the com-munity through volunteerism.” She is confident that Pittsburgh Oliver Citywide students are more than capable to commit to genuine community service.

“It’ more than a last resort,” says Colbert about the special education school, which hous-es about 130 students in grades 3-12. Colbert continued “At Pitts-

burgh Oliver we work to provide special education students the support they need to get on track behaviorally and aca-demically to transition them back to their comprehen-sive neighborhood school.”

Colbert got a head start at Oli-ver Citywide by participating in the Extended School Year (ESY) program in July. Not only did she get a chance to meet some of her students, Colbert also worked closely with the school’s teach-ers. “Pittsburgh Oliver City-wide has a strong staff that cares about students and ensuring posi-tive outcomes,” said Colbert.

The majority of Northside schools will have new administra-tive leaders. Pittsburgh Manches-ter K-8 ‘s new principal, Mich-ilene Pegher, a former middle grades Communications teacher, was approved in a special leg-islative meeting on July 16th.

The other new principals are: Dennis Chakey (Perry), Yarra Howze (Allegheny 6-8), Erin McClay (Spring Hill), and Leah McCord (King).

First published in a U.S. puzzle magazine in 1979, Sudoku caught on in Japan in 1986, and became internationally famous in 2005.

The aim of Sudoku is to enter a number from 1 through 9 in each space on a 9×9 grid made up of 3×3 subgrids (called “regions”). Some of the numbers have already been given. You may not use the same number twice in a single row, column, or region of the grid. Completing the puzzle requires patience and logical ability.
