Volunteer Helps Set Up Children's Corner in City Mission Dining Hall On Thursday, May 27, volunteer, Lisa Anne Harmon, spent several hours at City Mission helping Leah Dietrich, our Director of Residential Programs, set up a new Children’s Corner in the City Mission dining room.

The Children’s Corner offers a fun, comfortable, and safe environment for the children of City Mission residents to play and socialize while their parent(s) eat meals or attend meetings.

City Mission’s Women with Children Shelter already has an outdoor playground and a staffed Childcare Center where children can play while their moms look for work, attend classes, and work on their recovery. The Childcare Center, though, is only open and staffed at certain hours during the week. The new Children’s Corner in the dining room will be accessible any time for children to play in social groups or with their parents. It will also be available, not only to children who are Mission residents, but also to any of our residents’ children who come for visitations.

“This is a dream come true,” said Dietrich. “The Mission has been able to meet the challenge of providing shelter for Women with Children, but we were looking for ways Mission parents could continue to bond with their children.

This area does that! Not only for our Women with Children living here, but also our men, who are dads, now have a space for visitations. Not just a space but a fun space kills will want to go!”

Lisa Anne Harmon is an active supporter of City Mission. She is passionate

about the work being done here, and she is in regular contact with the staff to find new ways she can help. She especially has a heart for the children in our shelter. “I want to give these children more positive views on life, so they can break the cycle of poverty and move beyond it to a better life,” she said.

California University of Pennsylvania Named ‘College of Distinction’ Six Endorsements Recognize Cal U’s Excellence in Business, Education, Engineering, Career Development, Equity and Inclusion,And Military Support California University of Pennsylvania has been honored for its commitment to excellence in undergraduate education.

Colleges of Distinction has selected Cal U as a top university for 20212022, the third year in a row for the honor.

The online educational guide for parents and students also awarded special endorsements to Cal U in the areas of business, education, engineering, career development, equity and inclusion, and military support.

Colleges of Distinction recognizes schools that deliver in four areas: student engagement, teaching, community and outcomes.

Cal U offers more than 100 undergraduate and 95 graduate programs of study, including three doctoral programs, in health science, criminal justice and education. “We are proud of the exceptional educational opportunities we offer to our students,” said Dr. Daniel Engstrom, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs. “This award affirms that our students receive outstanding instruction and top-notch support services.”

Colleges of Distinction notes the impact of academic opportunities available to Cal U students: “Working closely with professors in subjects that range from biology to theatre, they engage in research, scholarship, and creative projects through Cal U’s Center for Undergraduate Research, which may even provide funding for their work. Students who have done research at the undergraduate level stand out when applying for jobs or graduate school.”

The guide also points out opportunities for student service and leadership development at Cal U, including participation in The Big Event, a nationwide service initiative. “It’s a great opportunity to give back to the community, and it also affords students a chance to network informally and build connections with alumni.”

3rd Annual Railroad - Street Fair Set for July 4 in Monongahela

The young people of the Monongahela Youth Main Street Program (M.y. Main St.) will be holding their third annual ‘Railroad Street Fair’ on Sunday, July 4, from 6:00PM – 9:00PM. This event takes place on Third Street between West Main and Chess Street, Monongahela (next to PNC Bank).

There will about 30 booths, including food (pizza, gyros, pasta-in-apaper-cone, halushki, hotdogs, cotton candy, baked goods, lemonade, coffee, etc.), plus kiddie games, balloons, a dime toss booth, some crafts, dogrelated items, a book stall, and many other booths.

Some will be educational booths, such as a working honeybee hive display and a learn-as-you-go silk screening demonstration. The live music will include guitar, violin, voice, and keyboard. Rivers of Steel Arts will be providing an artist, for the third year in a row, who will paint a 5’ tall, 11’ wide mural on canvas during the event at the end of the block as a backdrop to the fair. This year's mural theme will be a nineteenth century steamboat, although 1870s steam engines are also depicted at the entrance and on the banners, logos, and other literature.

The growing West Main Street shopping district, which has seen more than 30 new businesses open in the last 34 months (straight through the pandemic), will be represented by thirty donated baskets of gift items

that the group will auction off as a silent auction. These items not only give a sense of what is available in our downtown on normal business days, but the proceeds also help to fund next year’s fair. The fair is also funded through a grant from the EQT Foundation, and it has been supported in the past by grants from the Washington County Community Foundation and the City of Monongahela.

The street fair proceeds help to fund the Monongahela Area Chamber of Commerce’s annual Fireworks display at the Aquatorium.

This year’s fireworks display will begin at 9:45PM. The fireworks display, held now at this location for over 50 years, typically draws 5,000 10,000 people (including along the streets of the city's gently sloped terrain). It’s not unusual to see a towboat or train go by, and many people attend in yachts and other pleasure boats. There is no gate fee at any of these events.

But come especially to the Street Fair to support our local youth who are once again making this “M.y.

Main St,” yours, theirs, and all of ours.

‘M.y. Main St.’ is the youth division of the Monongahela Main Street Program. For questions or additional information, call Terry A. Necciai, RA, Executive Director, Monongahela Main Street Program 724310-3299.

By Lois Thomson Monessen Communities That Care (CTC) will be celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a full afternoon of music, activities and light refreshments on Sat., July 24, from 12 to 5 p.m. at Monessen City Park. Included in the activities will be local bands and performances, a photography contest, a petting zoo, pony rides, a scavenger hunt, relay races and games, face painting, and balloon animals.

Founded July 1, 2001, the Monessen CTC is a community-based delinquency prevention initiative whose motto is, "Building a strong community that supports our youth." It was designed to help reduce problem behavior among young people; provide opportunities to reinforce positive youth development; and offer a framework for young people to bond with caring adults in the community.

RJ Sokol Memorial Golf Outing Set for Aug. 21 Funds to Help Obtain Christmas Lights for North Belle Vernon There will be a RJ Sokol Memorial Golf Outing on August 21 at the Madison Golf Club. The event will begin with a shotgun start at 8:00AM. Monies donated from this event will go towards Christmas lights for North Belle Vernon Boro.

The golf outing was originally set to be a fundraiser for State Rep Eric Davanzo and Commissioner Sean Kertis. However after learning of RJ’s passing away of Covid 19 in late RJ Sokol March they decided to change the event to a Memorial Golf outing in RJ’s name with the funds going towards the next project RJ was working on for the North Belle Vernon Boro. They decided that even though RJ was not physically in the boro this was a way he could still help. Then, Bikers Helping Others jumped on Board as a 501c3 and now we officially have a Golf Outing.

The cost of the outing is just $100 a golfer and more information can be obtained by calling Lynn at 724-929-2749. Thank you and God Bless.

This group started playing during the summer of 2016 when the bowling leagues quit for the year. These ladies must like rolling the balls because they started playing bocce! They play for three months in the summer and at the end of their season celebrate with a pizza party. They are such a fun group of ladies that not only enjoy bocce but the company of each other.

Cal U to Host National Rural Social Work Conference California University of Pennsylvania will host the virtual event July 14-16 California University of Pennsylvania will host the 46th National Institute on Social Work and Human Services in Rural Areas from July 14-16. The theme of the virtual event organized by the National Rural Social Work Caucus is “Contemporary Challenges in Rural and Small-Town Industrial Communities.”

Registration is $35, and continuing education credits will be offered. For more information about the conference and registration details, visit www.calu.edu/swconference.

The annual conference is hosted by a different college or university each year to “showcase the diversity of rural America and to provide social workers in rural areas with access to a substantial professional activity that might not otherwise be available to them.”

Dr. Stephen Cooper, a professor and associate director of research at Stephen F. Austin State University, will deliver the keynote address from 6:30-8:15 p.m. July 14. Other workshop topics include “Providing Affirming Care: Assisting LGBTQ+ Folk Living in Rural Areas” and “The Last Mile: COVID-19, Telehealth, and Broadband Disparities in Rural Indiana.”

“It can be an eye-opening experience to attend a national conference and learn about different communities and what they face,” said Dr. Sheri Boyle, a professor of social work at Cal U who is helping to organize the event.

“It will be a huge benefit to social workers in our community, and because it is being held virtually this year, we can reach an even wider audience.”

Cal U offers both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work. “Our M.S.W. program has historically had a rural focus, so it is appropriate for us to take this on,” Boyle said of the virtual conference.

Cal U ‘s social work and counselor education programs have received a Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) grants of more than $3.2 million.

The HRSA Behavioral Health Workforce Education and Training (BHWET) program aims to increase the behavioral health workforce in rural and/or medically underserved communities.

City Recognized for Championing $16.7 Million Mixed-Use Development State officials have honored the City of Clairton for its efforts to create quality, affordable housing and remove blight from the central business district.

During a ceremony that was held online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Develoment presented Clairton officials with the Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence in the category “promoting community and economic revitalization.”

Clairton was recognized for its efforts to promote and facilitate the Clairton Inn project, a $16.7 million mixed-use development now under construction at the corner of St. Clair and Miller avenues.

A project of Mon Valley Initiative, the building will include 49 affordable apartments as well as a new home for the Clairton Public Library and four first-floor commercial spaces. Completion is scheduled for mid- 2022.

“After being faced with an unprecedented pandemic that impacted communities across the state, this year’s awards truly speak to — and honor the resilience and proactive efforts of — the inspiring Pennsylvania community leaders and groups that we are celebrating today,” said Dennis Davin, Pennsylvania Secretary of Community & Economic Development.

“These projects have brought critical services and assistance to residents in need statewide, and in many cases position communities for longterm success in their project areas,” Davin said.

Clairton’s award was presented by Rick Vilello, deputy secretary for community affairs and development, and Kim Bracey, executive director of the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services. Pennsylvania

Gov. Tom Wolf congratulated all of the winners.

The Clairton Inn development is part of the Clairton Neighborhood Partnership Program, funded in part

by BNY Mellon and Highmark.

“This award recognizes the value of cooperation and community engagement across all levels,” said Laura R. Zinski, chief executive officer of Mon Valley Initiative. “The Clairton Inn project wouldn’t be happening without the leadership of Mayor Rich Lattanzi and Clairton City Council, who together listened to the community’s needs and responded.

“It also demonstrates the value of a close working relationship between private corporations, non-profit organizations and public officials to ensure investment in critical community infrastructure such as affordable housing,” Zinski said.

Funding for the Clairton Inn development is being provided through tax credits authorized by the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency, with additional financial support from the state Department of Community & Economic Development, Allegheny County Economic Development, the City of Clairton, MVI and Economic Development South.

BVA Graduate Receives Valley Garden Club Scholarship

Fundraising Underway for Brentwood’s Traditional July 4 Celebration

By Matthew Peaslee

Gavin Maxson is the recipient of the 2021 Valley Garden Club Scholarship

Pictured (l to r): Flo Fagan, Cecil Verkleeren (scholarship committee), Gavin Maxson, Melva Kennedy, Roxanne Huss Valley Garden Club President.

The Valley Garden Club awarded its 2021 scholarship to 2021 Belle Vernon Area High School graduate Gavin Maxson. The $1,500 scholarship will assist Gavin with beginning his studies at Penn State University in Agricultural Engineering/Horticulture. He has been admitted to the prestigious Schreyer Honors College. After college he would like to contribute to the numerous irrigation projects, land reclamation and sustainable forestry projects currently occurring in the US. Gavin is the son of Leslie and Craig Maxson.

One of the area’s most-famous Fourth of July celebrations looks a little different this year. Brentwood Borough has scaled back its normal parade route and is limiting some of the normal festivities for 2021.

The parade route was redesigned by the Brentwood Volunteer Fire Department and will start at the Brentwood Park entrance at 1 p.m. on July 4. The route will visit nearly 20 streets throughout the borough. There will be no parking restrictions in the borough because the parade will only consist of a firetruck and a car. Two World War II planes will be flying over Brentwood to kick off the parade right at 1 p.m. The annual fireworks display will begin at 9:30 p.m. While it’s great to get back to some normalcy, the goal for Brentwood is to get back to the huge celebrations residents are used to in 2022. The planning and fundraising is already underway to make next year’s Fourth of July party bigger and better than ever before. “Funding for this is solely reliable on annual fundraisers, donations from residents, businesses and sponsors,” organizer Melissa Lenigan said. “Due to this past year, we weren’t able to do our main fundraisers, impacting us significantly.” According to figures released by the Brentwood Fourth of July Committee, a nonprofit organization, costs for the holiday celebration total nearly $40,000. A GoFundMe page has been created for anybody to donate to the cause. The committee usually sends out mailers each year but has switched the operation to onlineonly to save on costs. “Any and all donations truly help,” Lenigan said.

West Mifflin VFW Members Earn Top Surgeon Awards at State Convention

by Michael P. Mauer, VFW District 29 PAO Two Mon Valley veterans were recognized June 17 for supporting hospitalized service members during the 102nd Department of Pennsylvania VFW and Auxiliary convention in Pittsburgh. Bill Roland, VFW PA State Surgeon, earned the ‘National Surgeon Award’, while VFW Post 914 West Mifflin Surgeon, Bernie Zurawski, won Department of PA VFW ‘Surgeon of the Year’.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the VFW has maintained outreach activities to those who served in the United States military. Roland and Zurawski earned their awards for helping to keep these vital programs going during the most adverse of circumstances.

Such challenges are nothing new for Roland. While on active duty as a medical officer with the Army, the

North Versailles resident helped transport a child from war-torn Kosovo to the United States to receive heart surgery. At the start of the pandemic last year, Roland answered a call put through the VFW for retired military medical personnel to help in the coronavirus response.

As a volunteer, Roland assisted with the implementation of COVID-19 vaccination programs for veterans, and met with Veterans Administration hospital managers to help make certain quality of care continued at a high standard during the pandemic.

“In the VFW, the promise to honor those who’ve died by helping the living is sacred to our core beliefs,” said Roland. “As a former commissioned officer and life member of the VFW, volunteering to help those in need is expected – as well as rewarding.”

For Zurawski, who served as a Marine in Operation Desert Storm,

keeping his post’s hospital visitation programs at Southwestern Veterans Center going over the last nine years was at times difficult, but worthwhile.

“It started when I was on active duty,” Zurawski said. “While on leave, I would visit my father-in-law at Southwestern Veterans Center, and we would do bedside bingos and other things to help keep up morale. It was something that I enjoyed doing, and once I retired and became part of the VFW, I became more active helping my fellow veterans.”

Each year, the VFW nationally contributes hundreds of thousands of dollars and volunteer hours towards comforting hospitalized veterans.

The hospital visitation program is the oldest established function of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Auxiliary.

Caring for warriors is also enshrined in the credo of the Military Order of the Cootie - the VFW’s honor degree. Their service program proudly touts its main directive as ‘keep ‘em smiling in beds of white.”

“I would say that this is the most important thing that we do as members of the VFW,” said Roland, a retired Army major with 26 years of active and reserve military service.

“We help make certain that our comrades are cared for in the best way.

Not by just seeing that they receive care in hospitals, but by making sure we can be part of the care wherever and whenever possible.”

Roland, a Kosovo Campaign and Global War On Terrorism veteran, also said that lobbying efforts made by the VFW more than a hundred years ago were instrumental in establishing the hospital system run by the Veterans Administration, as well as other medical benefits for former soldiers, sailors, airmen and

“This is a task that we are committed to doing,” said Roland.

Monongahela Valley Hospital Signs Definitive Agreement For Affiliation With Penn Highlands Healthcare The Boards of Directors of both Monongahela Valley Hospital and Penn Highlands Healthcare have signed a Definitive Agreement between the two entities that would integrate Monongahela Valley Hospital into the Penn Highlands Healthcare system.

The Monongahela Valley Hospital Board of Directors determined that Penn Highlands Healthcare would be a perfect long-term partner to meet the healthcare needs of the area.

The mission of Penn Highlands Healthcare is to provide exceptional care through its community-based health system while maintaining a reverence for life. “When we started to have conversations with Penn Highlands Healthcare, we quickly realized how much our vision and values aligned with theirs,” said R. Carlyn Belczyk, Chairman of the Monongahela Valley Hospital Board of Trustees. “During the last 119 years, Monongahela Valley Hospital

has been a vital part of our community. We needed to examine how we could transform our health system through clinical, technical and strategic innovation to deliver tomorrow’s healthcare today. The new affiliation with Penn Highlands Healthcare will help us to continue to provide the high-quality care that our patients expect while expanding our services at the same time.” The affiliation with Penn Highlands Healthcare, anticipated to take effect in the fall of 2021, is designed to strengthen the delivery of healthcare services in the community. The board’s key objectives included: • continue the spirit of the mission, vision, and values of Monongahela Valley Hospital; • maintain and expand key programs and services; • attract and retain high-quality physicians and advanced practice providers in a wide range of specialties; • preserve jobs while providing

competitive wages and benefits; •maintain a meaningful role in local governance of the hospital.

“It’s an exciting time for Penn Highlands as we continue to grow our footprint across the region and expand to the southwestern part of the state,” said Richard Pfingstler, Chairman of Penn Highlands Healthcare Board of Directors, “The affiliation with Monongahela Valley Hospital broadens our reach while continuing to support the Monongahela Valley Hospital history of offering high-quality health care and great patient satisfaction.”

Louis J. Panza Jr., Monongahela Valley Hospital president and CEO agreed. “Penn Highlands Healthcare understands what communities need in a health system, which is why Penn Highlands is an ideal partner for our hospital. Penn Highlands successfully operates other like-sized hospitals, and we are looking forward to partnering with them.”

“Monongahela Valley Hospital has strong values and a modern facility, which is why we are excited for this opportunity to partner with them,” said Steven M. Fontaine, CEO of Penn Highlands Healthcare. “We believe that Monongahela Valley Hospital not only shares our core values as a company, but has a strong vision that makes the choice to integrate our health systems easy. This will enable us to serve more communities and more patients.”

The signing of the Definitive Agreement means that Monongahela Valley Hospital and Penn Highlands Healthcare have agreed to the terms and conditions of a prospective affiliation. Throughout the next several months, both parties will engage in additional due diligence, research and discussions to facilitate a smooth integration of Monongahela Valley Hospital into Penn Highlands Healthcare once regulatory approval of the affiliation is secured.

School News...School News Monessen Celebrates Successful MPACT Program

By Lois Thomson

e o

Despite the changes and setbacks that can occur during the implementation of any program –especially one being executed during a pandemic – Monessen Middle School's inaugural MPACT Program was quite a success. MPACT – Monessen Positive Action Community Team – is an after-school program for 6th – 8th graders designed to improve student behavior and academic motivation.

The program is a collaboration between the Monessen School District, Monessen Communities that Care, and California University of Pennsylvania, with the latter arranging to have students serve in a paid internship capacity. It was writ-

ten for Monessen by Dr. Mathilda Spencer, professor at Cal U, and Teresa Seh, Communities that Care project director. The original plan included six interns from the university, but just two – Casey McFarland and Idelia Confer-Robinson – saw the program through to the end.

It began with six students but gradually increased to 22. They met after school for one hour, two days a week, and while it was considerable work, both young ladies called it a success.

"The kids said they wanted to do it more days and have longer hours," Confer-Robinson said. McFarland added, "It was a double-edged sword.

It was more work, but we must have been doing something right. It is an education program, so for kids to say

The leaders of the MPACT Program included Darla Holmes, Casey McFarland, Idelia Confer-Robinson, and Teresa Seh Dr. Mathilda Spencer presents flowers to Darla Holmes, MPACT program coordinator

they want more, that's impressive."

Confer-Robinson will graduate in December, but plans to help with MPACT again through the fall.

McFarland will be heading into graduate studies but said they will try to recruit and train more facilitators during the summer, and she plans to help virtually with mentoring the interns.

The program organizers held an End of the Year Celebration June 9 at the school, during which each of the students received a certificate and a gift bag. Darla Holmes, program

coordinator, thanked everybody for their support, particularly Dr. Spencer, Seh, Eric Manko (principal, Monessen Middle School), and Donald Madzey (assistant principal, Monessen High School and Middle School).

She said she was grateful for the confidence shown to her and the interns, and "most of all, for the students being excited every Tuesday and Wednesday to learn and exercise positive actions in their academics, as well as in their personal lives. This program and the students gave me more than I gave to it. We realize this is not an overnight fix, but it is a start and hopefully will continue for years to come."

The valedictorians to address the class of 144 students were Bailey Ann McLaughlin, Christian Teo Guinto-Brody, and Alexa Grace Honick. There were numerous achievements, military recruits, honors, and awards that students received. The young adults have come a long way from the aftermath of 9-11 to the recuperation of the coronavirus. There's no doubt these kids are a truly strong generation and as they tossed their caps into the air for an unknown but exciting beginning, a new chapter in their life had begun.

The Community College of Allegheny County’s successful 2021 spring golf season ended with one of its own winning the CCAC Wild Cat Invitational held at The Links at Spring Church on May 17 and 18. Competing against golfers from other regional institutions, sophomore Dominic Achille, from South Park, finished in first place as the invitational medalist with a score on both days of 81 and a total score of 162, beating the runner-up by six strokes.

The CCAC mathematics major also competed for national honors and AllAmerican status at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) National Championship hosted by Jamestown Community College at Lake Chautauqua, New York, June 7–11. He had a strong finish, placing 25th out of 45 golfers, with scores of 86, 79, 83 and 82. His 330 total was 100 fewer strokes than the final golfer in the tournament.

Achille has received Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference (WPCC) All-Academic High Honors, and he could receive Region XX and NJCAA academic honors in the coming weeks. He will continue his golfing career this fall at Robert Morris University, where he will study mathematics.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and coaching Dominic for the past three years, and I couldn’t have asked for a better student athlete to represent our golf team and CCAC on the national level,” said Robert Keslar, golf coach and student development specialist/intramurals and recreation. “Dominic is an Academic All-American and a great golfer, but how he handles himself off the golf course is what impresses me the most. Dom will be missed at CCAC; however, I know he is going to succeed at Robert Morris, and I wish him the best of luck.”

Banner Year on the Diamond for Bethel Park Baseball and Softball Teams

Bethel Park baseball Team

By Matthew Peaslee The Bethel Park baseball and softball teams represented their school and community on the local, regional and state-wide level this season. All residents have a reason to be proud of the Blackhawks.

The Bethel Park softball team captured the WPIAL 6A title and the Blackhawks baseball team won the PIAA 5A state championship in 2021.

The softball team went 18-0 in the regular season and WPIAL playoffs and completed the championship round by beating Canon McMillan. Sandra Soltes swung the momentum in the Blackhawks’ favor right away by belting a grand slam en route to the 7-2 victory. Soltes, a junior, committed to play softball collegiately at Pitt.

The team’s seniors were Delaney Nagy, Gianna Sciullo, Emily Momchilovich, Reagen Milliken, Riley McCann, Lauren Caye, Lexi Seese and Sami Stephenson.

The Bethel Park baseball team turned a disappointment into true euphoria

in the past few weeks. The Blackhawks lost a tough one to Franklin Regional, 2-1, in the WPIAL championship game. They still qualified for the PIAA playoffs and made the most of the opportunity.

Bethel Park rattled off four-straight victories including a 4-2 victory over powerhouse Red Land in the state championship game played at Penn State’s Medlar Field. It was the program’s second state title, last winning one 33 years ago. Eric Chalus paced the team on the mound striking out six Red Land batters. The Blackhawks completed the year with a 22-4 record, including a 10record in league play.

Chalus, along with Jimmy Gasper, Sawyer D’Andrea, Dan Delbene, Josh Peters, Shane Hamel, Zack Sackett, Larry Kusan and Etan Nerone were the team’s seniors.

The Blackhawks received a police escort back to the South Hills from the Allegheny County Sheriff’s Department. The Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Department hosted a celebration for the team upon their arrival back in town on June 18.

Mid Mon Valley Sports Hall of Fame Lost MLB Scouts George Zuraw and Fred Uhlman Sr. in 2020 Two prominent Major League Baseball scouts with combined tenures of over 100 years passed away in 2020. Both Fred Uhlman and George Zuraw were Charleroi High School graduates within a year of each other in the late 1940s. In 2002, Uhlman was recognized as the Scout of the Year by Major League Baseball while seven years earlier in 1995 Charleroi High baseball teammate Zuraw won the same scouting distinction. Both epitomized the importance of baseball in Charleroi especially in the 1940s.

Uhlman, who passed away on September 1, 2020, is best known for

establishing the Orioles’ first baseball academies in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela. He was also responsible for signing Jeff Ballard, Steve Finley, Gregg Olson, Arthur Rhodes, and David Segui, among many others who have worn the Orioles uniform. Uhlman was signed out of high school by the Pirates as a left-handed pitcher where he spent five years (1949-51; 54-55) in the minor leagues appearing in 115 games. As a Pirate scout he signed pitcher Bobby Moose. Uhlman was inducted into the Mon Valley Sports Hall of Fame in 2003.

Zuraw, who passed away on April

23, 2020, spent 20 years with the Big Red Machine from 1968 to 1988 where he garnered the title “super scout” signing players like Ray Knight, Jeff Treadway, Joe George Zuraw Fred Uhlman, Sr. Oliver, Lenny Harris, Rob Murphy, Nick Esasky and Terry McGriff among othseasons (1949-51;1954) in the minor’s ers. Zuraw saw 27 players he signed participating in 133 games. Zuraw either play or manage in the major was inducted into the Mon Valley leagues. In 1989 he became assistant Sports Hall of Fame in 2001. Their vice president of baseball operations Charleroi baseball days will be for the Seattle Mariners. Zuraw, like recounted in the soon to be published Uhlman, was signed out of high Charleroi Baseball History by the school by the Pirates as a first-base- Mid Mon Valley All Sports Hall of men with a good bat and spent four Fame.

Home & Garden 6 Reasons Homeowners Are Upgrading to Tankless Water Heaters (BPT) - Homeowners are seeking smart upgrades that make life easier and more convenient. That's why tankless water heaters are gaining popularity: These modern systems can make your home more comfortable, save space, lower costs and provide eco-friendly benefits.

Traditional versus tankless One issue with traditional water heaters is they have a holding tank that heats a specific amount of water.

When that water is not being used, it sits there being heated, which wastes energy. On the flip side, when in use, when the hot water is gone, it's gone.

A tankless water heater can solve these problems. They are commonly used in spas or other facilities in the U.S. due to the benefits of ondemand and endless hot water.

Americans are becoming more energy-conscious and discovering the efficient advantages over conventional types of water heating.

Upgrading to Tankless Water Heaters (Continued from page 24 )

TOP REASONS TO GO TANKLESS Efficient and environmentally friendly: Tankless heaters flash-heat water when you need it and turn off as soon as you turn off the faucet or shower. That means water is heated instantly and heated only when you need it. Tankless heaters are designed to save energy, which saves you money and protects the environment.

Thermalux tankless water heaters, on average, help reduce up to 118,000 tons of CO2 emissions a year.

Constant hot water without the waste: With a tankless water heater, you get to enjoy an endless stream of hot water because it's heated through a compact yet powerful system that mounts on a wall. Choose the right size tankless and you'll always have hot water when your family needs it.

Small size equals significant space savings: Usually about the size of a carry-on luggage bag, tankless water heaters can help you reclaim space compared with large tank-type heaters.

Cleaner water: Traditional tank water heaters can build rust and sediment inside the tank after years of use.

This material can end up in the water that you use in your home. Since tankless options do not store water and heat it only on demand, you get fresh, clean water.

Growing accessibility: Getting a tankless water heater is now as easy as going online to Amazon or Home Depot, where tankless water heaters are available for immediate purchase.

Learn more at thermalux.com. Then find an installer.

Lower costs: The upfront cost of getting a tankless can be defrayed thanks to possible local, state and federal tax credits. Check out energystar.gov for more information. Once installed, a tankless will help lower your energy bills, helping you to further save money. Tankless water heaters have double the lifespan of their tank-style counterparts, which impacts savings over time.

HINTS FOR HOMEOWNERS What To Know About Mold And Mildew (NAPSI)—If you’re like a lot of homeowners, your domicile is in danger from an insidious, invisible growth—mold—and you don’t even know it. That’s because for many people, mold conjures up images of smelly, green and black growth that can cause serious respiratory issues. It is often found in a home after an intrusive water event, such as a flood or a severe rainstorm. The reality is, just about every home has mold, though it only becomes a concern when there are moist building materials and you begin to notice visible mold growth and can smell it.

Why To Fight Mold Mold and water damage can have a negative effect on your and your family’s health, as well as on the safety and structure of your home.

People with allergies to mold may experience sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, rash and upper respiratory problems.

Homes in areas where there’s a potential for flooding, tornadoes, or hurricanes are especially at risk.

Mold typically grows in damp places such as basements and crawlspaces.

What To Know About Mold And Mildew (Continued from previous page.)

Apart from floods, the four major causes of mold and water damage in residences are: leaks in the building envelope (that is, around window frames, roof); unattended plumbing leaks; high humidity levels (particularly from unvented or improperly vented indoor moisture sources, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and clothes dryers); and condensation on cool surfaces (on kitchen and bathroom surfaces, on window frames, in basements).

How To Fight Mold The good news is there are steps you can take to identify and remove mold, and prevent its re-occurrence by keeping the water out of the house.

AIHA (formerly American Industrial Hygiene Association), the organization for scientists and professionals committed to preserving and ensuring occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) in the workplace and community, created free resources for consumers including: “Facts About Mold: A Consumer Focus,” a downloadable guide to the problems of mold growth and what you can do to prevent it; and a brief video, “What is mold? Who’s affected?”—a quick guide to the dangers of mold in your home.

Who Can Fight Mold If mold damage is severe, it may be time to seek the help of an OEHS professional or Certified Industrial Hygienist with extensive mold investigation and remediation experience.

You can find a list of OEHS experts at www.aiha.org/public-resources/consultants-listing.

1) Restore and reorganize décor Start by repairing any damaged or broken decorative pieces using DAP RapidFuse Gel Control Applicator.

Providing a precise, clean and controlled application on a variety of materials including plastics, wood, rubber, metal, ceramics and more, this gel adhesive is perfect for uneven or vertical applications.

Make sure to use a siliconized sealant, such as DAP's Kwik Seal Ultra.

3) Brighten interior walls- When selecting your color, sticking within the shade family of one of your longtime favorite colors will help guarantee the color brings you joy for years to come. Give an accent wall a shot!

4) Repair holes in the drywall Make sure you take the time to repair any nicks, dents or holes in the drywall for a polished and professional finished result. New Eclipse Rapid Wall Repair Patches come in three sizes and make repairing holes in drywall fast and easy.

LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS Grove Chiropractic, LLC is Leading Treatment for a Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Do you have difficulty walking or standing?

Do you have burning pain, numbness or tingling in your buttocks or legs?

Do you have weakness in your legs?

Do you experience less pain while leaning forward or sitting?

Are you experiencing loss of bladder control?

Dr. Daniel McCann These can be signs of Lumbar Spinal Chiropractor Stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal Grove Chiropractic which compresses nerves that affect the low back down to the legs. Often for those suffering from it, they find themselves sitting more and more and missing out on normal daily living. Unfortunately, it is a progressive disease that can lead to congestive heart failure, COPD, and arthritis in the hips and knees.

Studies show that up to 25% of those over 65 can be affected.

Unfortunately, in the past, surgeries, treatments, and medications have not shown huge successes in reducing the pain or reversing the symptoms to gain back real quality of life.

Grove Chiropractic, LLC is one of a few clinics in Western Pennsylvania that has been trained to provide a boot camp that has proven to be 85% successful at reducing pain and helping patients resume walking and getting back to enjoying normal activities, in as little as 6 weeks.

Dr. Daniel McCann provides mobilization treatments in office as well as prescribes stretching and exercises to be done at home between treatments. Done together, patients are thrilled getting their life back. This program also helps prevent the disease from progressing.

Call our office at 412-668-3159 to schedule a FREE screening with Dr. McCann to see if you are a candidate for this program.

Isn’t today your day to start enjoying life again?

CAREGIVING Q: Why should I consider becoming a professional caregiver?

A: Caregiving in home care as a career is often overlooked because a person may think they either don’t have the skills necessary to be a capable caregiver or there is no viable career path in caregiving. Nothing could be further from the truth!

There are so many benefits a caregiving career can offer, here are some of the most Kimberly L. attractive: • Flexible work schedules, day, evenings, Pirilla-Scalise, overnights and weekends. Fulltime and PartExecutive Director time hours are always options as well.

Superior Home Care • Besides the normal flexibility offered in home care, there is also day-to-day flexibility that most other jobs can’t offer. Snow day for your kids? Not a problem to shift your work day a little later. In home care, we have room to shift schedules when life demands it.

• Competitive wages based on skill and experience. Wage scales vary by employer but at Superior, our wage scale runs from $10/hour for a person with no experience all the way up to $15/hour for a highly experienced person.

• Besides a competitive wage, most home care employers do offer benefits.

At Superior, our staff enjoy a full list of benefits: paid time off, paid training, health insurance, 401k and biweekly and quarterly performance bonuses, just to name of few.

• Ability to work in the community where you live. Home care provides service to people living right in your community, you could be matched with a client who lives in your own community, where you are comfortable and familiar. Home care is perfect for stay at home mom’s with school age children as well as retired persons just looking for a rewarding part-time job.

• No previous skill or experience needed! We can train you in all aspects of being a professional caregiver and our unique 90-day onboarding experience will assure you assimilate successfully in your new career.

• Career growth potential is great with caregiving. We have our own internal career ladder to promote skill enhancement and growth on our team but opportunities beyond that abound. Caregiving is a springboard for careers in social work, nursing, physical and occupational therapy and even business ownership.

Last but not the least is the greatest reason of all you should consider becoming a professional caregiver: the chance to do some of the most meaningful work imaginable on a team with other passionate caregivers. Caregivers intimately touch the lives of those they care for each day. Being able to bring hope, comfort and peace of mind to a person just by showing up and being yourself can be life changing.

SCIATIC PAIN the low back and down the leg.

THESE AREA SERVICE PROVIDERS ARE HERE TO ANSWER ALL YOUR QUESTIONS...

Q: What are the causes of sciatic pain?

A: The most common cause of sciatic pain is a disc herniation in the low back causing nerve irritation. Another common cause is spinal stenosis.

Dr. Anthony Cuneo Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation The Orthopedic Group

moves out of its normal location, oftentimes towards a nerve in the low back. No one knows exactly why this happens for some people, but genetics and poor body mechanics can contribute to this.

Q:: What is spinal stenosis?

A: Spinal stenosis is when the spinal canal gets crowded, causing nerve irritation and possible compression. Many times, there are multiple reasons for spinal stenosis including disc herniations, arthritis of nearby joints, and ligament swelling.

Q: How can sciatic pain be treated?

A: Many times, all that is needed to improve sciatic pain is time. To manage pain until your body heals itself, relative rest and over-the counter pain medication can be used. If that does not help, physical therapy focusing on core strengthening or chiropractic care can be tried. Other options include prescription-grade pain medications, alternative treatment options like acupuncture, low back injections (epidural injections), and surgery if nothing else works.

Q: How do I go about getting my sciatic pain treated?

A: If you would like to discuss your specific treatment options, feel free to make an appointment at one of our offices.

Dr. Anthony Cuneo is a board certified Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician.

READER ADVISORY: Reader Advisory: the National Trade Association we belong to has purchased the following classifieds. Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer “employment” but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it’s illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. 800 numbers may or may not reach Canada.
