NO, THANKS Solicitors — people who are selling something — need a permit from the police department. Canvassers — people who are representing a cause but not selling anything — do not need a permit and are still permitted to knock on your door. If you don’t want to be bothered, the best thing to do is place a No Soliciting sign on your door. And keep in mind, anyone identifying themselves as a utility company employee must produce an identification badge with a photograph.
HISTORIC HOUSES The Historical Society of Mount Lebanon is selling medallions identifying those properties in the Mt. Lebanon National Register Historic District as contributing to the historic designation. The cast aluminum medallions are 6 inches in diameter and include mounting screws and anchors. Cost is $214. Is your house in the district? Visit mtlebanon.org/historic-properties [1] to see a map that shows the location of the 4,400 properties.

Corrections to the October 2025 issue:
In Creatures with Character, the correct age of Barrett Jones is 16, and we included an incorrect spelling of the names Lorien Moyer and Alyssa Jones.
On page 38 of The Life of Ellen Berliner, the caption for the top photo should read: Christine Berliner (left) and Carol Steytler (center) with WC&S president and CEO Nicole Molinaro (right) in front of the shelter’s original wooden sign.
We regret the errors.
