Presidents Letter
Have you ever gone to Belvedere Square on a Friday night where everyone brings their lawn chairs to sit
around & enjoy the entertainment? Or maybe you have gone to the one in Little Italy & watched a movie
on the side wall of one of the row homes. Well, we can enjoy the same thing right near our own back
yard. A week ago at Harbel we had our very own movie night outside! People brought their chairs &
visited with others. The kids rode bikes, threw footballs, played kick ball & twirled hula hoops. Once
nightfall came, everyone sat back in their lawn chairs with popcorn & watched the Smurfs. It was very
well received. We often hear that the kids have nothing to do. This is a great way to meet your neighbors
& keep the young folks from boredom. The next activity is hopefully in October & will be a bowling event.
Well keep you posted & put up flyers.
A special thanks to those who came out to help clean up Biddison Cemetery. This is a private cemetery
whose members have long passed but local neighbors have taken the time to clean it up. Our community
has cleaned it several times, which is an all-day event & quite a lot to do. This cemetery goes back over a
hundred years when tomb-stones gave the exact number of years a person was alive: (ie: Helene Quinn:
lived 56 years, 9 months, 2 days). Once restored, it looks great again. Many thanks!
On a stronger note, Im sure youve all felt the influx of crime in & around our area. Please remember to
report suspicious activity.
Take note to get a full description: clothing colors, distinguishing
characteristics, type of vehicle, time of day, how many involved, etc. Call even if you have doubt. Start
to track the time of day if it is a continued behavior & you see a trend in a specific area. Daytime is a
common time for thefts because most folks are at work. So, be cognizant of what is going on around you,
walk alert if you are outside & lock your doors, even during the daytime.
Hats off to our Police department who recently caught four teenagers in the act of a robbery near the
block I reside. The Police helicopter followed the youths during a reported crime & as the youths bailed
out of the vehicle, which was discovered to be stolen the night before, the Police swarmed in to arrest all
four. I specifically drove by to see if I recognized the guys & was relieved that I did not. I know most of
the kids in our neighborhood & wouldve been so disappointed if it was someone I know. Our Police are
hard working to support our areas. Please take a moment to thank them as you see them.
I hope to see you out & about on some of our neighborhood festivals & events in the fall. Now that school
is back in session & summer vacations are over, lets try to enjoy the great weather & still be outside for
a while. Head out for a snow ball at Walther Gardens & enjoy meeting some neighbors in the chairs they
provide. I sure have. Before you know it, the holidays will be here!
Be well,
Helene

On the following page is a picture of the Plat of Land belonging to the John S. Biddison that was
surveyed in 1986 after he passed away; this map was shared on Facebook with the Northeast History
Roundtable by Michael Miller. The map shows a network of streams and two springs that would have
been buried beneath our streets and incorporated into the citys new drainage system as our
neighborhood was developed in the early 20th century. Belair Road is shown at the bottom of the map
with Biddison Lane moving up ending at the family cemetery.

Hamilton Gallery presents
Daniel Sherman: Artifacts of Growth
and Decay
September 4 September 27, 2015
First Friday Opening Reception - Friday,
September 4, 5-9pm
Hamilton Gallery welcomes all guests
and neighbors to join us in enjoying our
neighborhood and our city.
In this series of photographs Daniel
Sherman seeks to record the inherent
beauty of the the worn down, forgotten
and overlooked. Daniel works to
illustrate time and history by
simultaneously depicting growth and
decay. Most of his subjects have long
since stopped being "new" or "the best"
but they record time in the details of their physical appearance.
Devoid of human subjects, many of these images still reverberate with humankind's latent presence.
Daniel works to illustrate what has been hewn from the land and subsequently, what nature has taken
back.
Also exhibiting this month Hamilton Gallery artist members:
Jude Asher, Ron Cohn, Salvadore Delvisco, Ned Epps, Marcus Dagold, Amy Klainer, Karen Klinedinst, Ania
Milo, Charles Mens, Bob Paulding, Lynn Poshepny, Angela Raincatcher, Theresa Reuter, Cara Sue
