Twice a year, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police sponsors an opportunity for members of the community to become closely acquainted with the roles and responsibilities of the Police Bureau.
Three South Pittsburgh area state representatives were sworn into office on January 1 to mark the beginning of the 197th legislative session. The state constitution mandates the legislature convene at noon on the first Tuesday of January. State Rep. Harry Readshaw took the oath of office for his 10th term in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives; State Rep. Jake Wheatley was sworn in for his sixth term; and, Erin Molchany was sworn in to her first term representing the 22nd Legislative District. «To be entrusted with an office like this just once is gratifying,» Rep. Readshaw said, «but when people in your hometown continue to reelect you for the job you do, that is a high honor and more humbling each time you take the oath. I will continue to work to improve lives of the residents of the 36th District as well as all Pennsylvanians.” Mr. Readshaw has served as a member of the Professional Licensure Committee for his entire time in the House, and he begins his second term as Democratic chairman of the committee. He pointed out professional licensure impacts every Pennsylvanian. The panel is responsible for establishing and reviewing every profession that requires state certification, from plumbers to brain surgeons to hairdressers and architects. “The license means that the individual has
the training and has demonstrated the ability to meet established standards of quality for his profession,” Rep. Readshaw said. “It ensures against people performing specialized services that, without the proper training, could endanger the health or finances of the person paying for their services.” Mr. Readshaw said the panel also monitors professional license and certification issues in other states, using that information to determine what Pennsylvania should do in anticipation of those issues coming up in the commonwealth. “My priorities for this new session include funding mass transit, roads and bridges, and restoring funding that was cut from education, health care and social services. Many of our neighbors need a safety net to help them in these difficult economic times,” Rep. Wheatley said.

Mr. Wheatley plans to continue pressing for passage of legislation to help minority-, women- and disadvantaged-owned small businesses compete for a fair share of state contracting. He also will continue working to pass his bill designed to reduce the number of abandoned properties in Pennsylvania communities by changing state law on “adverse possession,” a process that allows a person who Continued on Page 4

Yes, sidewalks in the city have to be clear of snow in 24 hours The snow that came in the day after Christmas and was added to several days later and has stuck around for weeks now should be gone soon. But residents from the South Side Flats to the Slopes to the Hilltop and beyond are concerned about the next snow storm and how they will get around. Eleanor, a senior citizen from 20th Street on South Side, was concerned about the snow remaining on the sidewalks days after the storm when she left a voice mail message for The Reporter. “You know we have a lot of college kids down here and they think just because they rent they don’t have to make a path. Just make a path.” she said. According to city code § 419.03. Removal of snow and ice: “Every tenant, occupant or owner having the care or charge of any land or building fronting on any street in the city, where there is a sidewalk paved with concrete, brick, stone or other material shall, within 24 hours after the fall of any snow or sleet, or the accumulation of ice caused by freezing rainfall, cause the same to be removed from the sidewalk.” The city’s Department of Public Works web page offers these recommendations for clearing snow: Snow should not be shoveled or moved onto the roadway. When residents throw their snow onto an already plowed street, additional plowing is necessary and this takes away resources from the streets that have not been serviced. Snow should be shoveled onto lawn areas or close to the curb. In heavy snows, parking spaces should be sacrificed to pile snow. These efforts allow passage of emergency vehicles and other vehicular traffic. During a snow emergency all road crews work around the clock to clear the roadways as soon as possible. They follow a standard routing system to clear the major roadways first. Requests for special plowing/salting can be made for emergency situations. To help elderly and disabled residents keep their sidewalks clear of snow, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl initiated the Snow Angels program as part of the servePGH program. Snow Angels volunteer to clear a less capable neighbor’s sidewalk of snow within 24 hours of the snowfall during the winter season. They aren’t required to clear snow that is expected to melt within the time frame. Those in need of a Snow Angel’s help can register at http:// www.pittsburghpa.gov/servepgh/snowangels/request or by call the 311, Mayor’s Response Line. Neighbors who would like to volunteer to be a Snow Angel can go to: http://www.pittsburghpa.gov/servepgh/snowangels/volunteer. Residents who would like to report a street that hasn’t been plowed and salted and is still in need of snow removal 24 hours after the snowfall has ended can call 311 or 412-255-2621.

Just Harvest looking for volunteer tax preparers Just Harvest, one of the largest free tax sites for lowincome households in Allegheny County, needs volunteers to help provide free tax preparation assistance for low-income individuals and families in Allegheny County. Over the past four years, 353 students, professionals, and retirees dedicated more than almost 18,000 hours to serve neighbors in need. In just four tax seasons, volunteers prepared more than 21,000 tax returns and helped return $34.3 million in tax refunds back to local residents, including $13.6 million in Earned Income Tax Credits. For the taxpayers served, these tax refunds helped put food on the table, pay off debt, make rent or mortgage payments, and pay for heat and electricity during Pittsburgh’s winter months. Those who have experience doing their own tax returns, or just want to learn, are needed. Volunteer tax preparers are needed at 10 locations in Allegheny County

Enrollment opens for next Pittsburgh Citizen’s Police Academy Twice a year, the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police sponsors an opportunity for members of the community to become closely acquainted with the roles and responsibilities of the Police Bureau. The Pittsburgh Citizen’s Police Academy brings the police and the community close together in a setting that offers a sample of police training to each participant. Participants receive three hours of training one evening each week in many of the varied functions of law enforcement. They experience some of the highlights of police training and are exposed to the operations of the po-
lice bureau. Participants are taught the basics of criminal law, search and seizure, patrol tactics, firearms and many other subjects. They learn about the processing of a crime scene, how police canines are used, and are exposed to many of the specialty police units. CPA participants meet and talk with many of the street officers as well as the command staff and training staff that serves them. All this takes place in a safe and entertaining training environment. Instructors are law enforcement professionals who teach both veteran and recruit police officers. Students leave the

Mercy Parish Nurse program for 2013 The Mercy Parish Nurse and Health Ministry Program, part of Pittsburgh Mercy Health System, sponsored by the Sisters of Mercy, has released the 2013 dates for its four-day Faith Community Nurse/Parish Nurse Preparation Course. The course is designed for registered nurses, other health care professionals, and laypersons who are interested in promoting health, wellness, and spirituality, coordinating volunteers, or starting a visitation ministry in their faith communities. The 34-hour, four-day course will be offered three times in 2013: • Winter session: February 15-16 and March 8-9, 2013 • Spring session: May 31June 1 and June 21-22, 2013 • Fall session: October 4-5 and October 11-12, 2013. Forty-six nurses and three health ministers of the Catholic, Protestant, and Islamic faiths completed the course in 2012. The majority of participants were from Southwestern Pennsylvania, but several traveled from as far away as New Jersey and New York to complete the course. The course curriculum covers the five main roles of the faith community nurse: educator, counselor, advocate, developer of support groups, and integrator of faith and health. Additional course modules include prayer; selfcare; healing and wholeness; ethics; documenting practices; legal aspects; communication and collaboration; fam-
ily violence; suffering, grief, and loss; advocacy; care coordination; and more. All of the modules are taught by faith community nurse educators and other professionals who are considered subject matter experts in their respective fields of practice. Upon successful completion of the course, nurses will receive 34 hours of continuing education credits and will be commissioned as faith community nurses/parish nurses. In order to receive credit, participants must attend all four dates during the session for which they register. Other health care professionals and laypersons will be commissioned as health ministers. Each session is limited to 20 participants. All three sessions will be held at UPMC Mercy, 1400 Locust Street, Sister M. Ferdinand Clark Auditorium, Level 2, Pittsburgh, PA 15219 (Uptown Pittsburgh). The cost is $395 per person and includes course materials, continuing education credits for nurses, and free parking in the hospital parking garage. Limited scholarship funds are available. Course applications may be downloaded at http://www. pmhs.org/parish-nurse-program/education-and-resources.aspx. Registration and payment are due a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of each session. For more information, or to register, contact ParishNurse@mercy.pmhs.org or call 412.232.5815.
Readshaw remains Democratic chairman of House committee State Rep. Harry Readshaw, D-Allegheny, for the second consecutive term, has been named by House Democratic Leader Frank Dermody, D-Allegheny, as Democratic chairman of the House Professional Licensure Committee. Rep. Readshaw had previously served as a member of the committee since 1995, serving as Democratic Chairman in the last term. He said while the committee doesn’t generate much controversy or big headlines, with more than 800,000 licensees, it still im-
pacts everyday life for Pennsylvanians. “Virtually every profession that requires a licensure falls under the jurisdiction of the Professional Licensure Committee,” Mr. Readshaw said. “From a barber or beautician up to a physician or architect, the committee sets the standards that, once legislation is enacted, must be followed by every licensing board.” Among the professions reviewed by the committee in the last year were pharmacists, land surveyors and CPAs.
