To Drink, or Not To Drink “I drank from that spring when I went to Spring Hill School. People used to stand in line waiting to fill jugs up, daily.” Restoring the freshwater spring was the culmination of a dream for Pittsburgh District 1 Councilwoman Darlene Harris. “We’ve been talking about getting the spring restored for thirty seven years.” In May 2016, after a six-decade hiatus, fresh water has again begun to flow.
But is it safe to drink?

In This House There Isn't Chaos
...
To say the least, Tracy has a lot going on. When Shacoya Bates from Every child, Inc. arrives for a visit Tracy has almost everything ready at her dining room table: a stack of paperwork, her planner, notes about the forms. Her 13 year old granddaughter, Anya, has just called to say she'll be staying after school for homework club.
A few years ago, Anya was living in a car under a bridge with her mother and brothers. Anya's mother, and Tracy's former daughter in law, struggles with addiction and mental health problems. Eventually Anya went to go live with her grandmother, Tracy. While they have a happy home there is still much work to be done in helping Anya work through the guilt of being the sibling who got out and her own personal struggles with PTSD from her childhood. This is where Bates, from Every Child Inc. comes in, she helps Tracy find outlets for Anya to work through her past and checks in how Anya and Tracy are coping with their new relationship. "You guys are a really good team" Bates says. "We're working on it. As you change from a grandparent to a parent, that's a big adjustment. She's used to being the parent. That doesn't work here." Tracy exaplains. Tracy herself is heavily involved in volunteer activities - advocating for Veterans' Court, mental health awareness classes, and sobriety groups.

"On Friday, December 21, we are walking on this #longestnight of the year to remember those who were #homeless and died in the #alleghenycounty this year, and to commit ourselves to ending #homelessness "
Despite rainy and cold winter weather in #Pittsburgh on that day, many attended the "Downtown Walk and Homeless Memorial Vigil"; some of them were photographed here:

Wonder Writers from the Heights
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
"There is a writer in everybody, but not everyone chooses to be a writer" Rochelle Preston, 56, a committed member of the Women's Writing Group of Northview Heights explained. Preston has been a lifelong resident of Northview Heights and is described as being someone who "plugs into anything that's positive in this community" by a fellow Writing Group member. Preston explains that it was not until Hudson walked into her life that she was able to fully choose to be a writer and nourish her talents. Now Preston is on her way to publishing her first collection of poems through the Women's Writing Group of Northview Heights. Upon reflection of the impact of writing upon her life, Preston encourages, "if writing is one of your passions, get out there, go through prompts, make collages and write the story. It's interesting because it is your story to tell." Read the rest at www.storyburgh.org
