Monessen Swears In Police Accountability Board Members of the newly-formed Monessen Police Accountability and Internal Affairs Board were recently sworn in. The board consists of Monessen residents: Bob Stark, Karen Cosner, Mayor Matt Shorraw, Raynelle Mays, and Alan Duncan Sr. The board was created by a vote of the council at a Monessen City Council meeting in June, applications were accepted and appointments were made at the August Council Meeting.

The purpose of the board in part is to protect the public, the Monessen Police Department, city employees, review and make recommendations on improving policies and procedures, and review and investigate formal complaints made by citizens against members of the police department.

The board also discussed a willingness to learn more about policing and to create an open dialogue with police. The board also hopes to serve as a bridge to bring the Monessen Police Department and the residents of Monessen together, to establish a better working relationship, and strengthen community ties. The board plans to meet regularly to hear from speakers on various topics, so the board can continue to learn.

Pictured L-R are members of the Monessen Police Accountability “I am confident that this board will do well,” said Monessen Mayor Matt Shorraw. and Internal Affairs Board: Bob Stark, Karen Cosner, “The board's members are committed community servants, who are excited and Mayor Matt Shorraw, Raynelle Mays, Alan Duncan, Sr. motivated to help our city. I applaud them for having the interest and dedication."

The Mayor said that the creation of this board is an example of Monessen being proactive, rather than reactive. "We don't want to wait for an incident to happen. We want to be prepared, and we also want to help bridge the gap, and create room for open dialogue between police, the city, and the community."

Cal U Seeks Top High School Graduates for Selective Program In Early Childhood Education Rutledge Institute Scholars receive FREE tuition, fees and room at California University of Pennsylvania California University of Pennsylvania is accepting applications from current high school seniors who wish to attend Cal U tuition free as Rutledge Institute Scholars beginning in Fall 2021.

Just 10 students will be selected for this highly selective program, which prepares men and women for careers as preschool and elementary school teachers.

The selection process is underway, and students across Pennsylvania and beyond are encouraged to apply while openings are still available.

Rutledge Institute Scholars enter California’s accredited childhood education program as first-year students and continue through graduation, with a four-year goal of earning: • A bachelor’s degree in education (B.S.Ed.) for grades pre-K to 4.

• Pennsylvania Level I teaching certification.

• The Integrative STEM Education Endorsement, an in-demand credential that documents an educator’s ability to integrate science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts into classroom lessons.

Each Rutledge Institute Scholar receives an annual scholarship that covers the full cost of tuition, academic fees and on-campus housing at Cal U, so long as program requirements continue to be met. Over four years, the award is valued at more than $70,000.

In addition to their studies in the Department of Childhood Education, Rutledge Institute Scholars will gain professional experience working alongside certified teachers in the preschool program on California’s campus, as well as in public school classrooms.

As the program progresses, a structured peer-mentoring program will encourage students to collaborate, co-teach and study together, forming a supportive learning community. Rutledge Institute Scholars supplement their classroom studies and fieldwork with research and an annual summer workshop focused on innovations in education.

To be considered for a Rutledge Institute scholarship, applicants should have a high school grade-point average of 3.5 or higher and SAT/ACT scores that meet the state Department of Education’s qualifying score requirements.

Letters of recommendation also are required.

Applications for the Fall 2021 class of Rutledge Institute Scholars are being accepted now. For details, visit www.calu.edu/rutledge, or contact Dr. Rebecca Maddas, of Cal U’s Childhood Education Department, at maddas@calu.edu, 724-938-4494 or 724-938-4135.

California University of Pennsylvania Posts Modest Enrollment Increase Gain in graduate students boosts headcount as Cal U marks fall ‘census date’ Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, enrollment at California University of Pennsylvania has increased slightly this fall, compared to last year.

Cal U’s total Fall 2020 headcount is 6,885, an increase of 0.63% – or 43 students – over last fall’s total.

The student population on Sept. 15, the university’s official 2020 “census date,” consists of 4,785 undergraduates and 2,100 graduate students. The number of graduate students grew by 5.74%, Cal U officials reported, counteracting a modest drop of 1.46%in the undergraduate headcount.

“Our staff and faculty haveworked incredibly hard to demonstrate that Cal U can offer a high-quality educational experience even in times of unprecedented change,” said Dr. Daniel Engstrom, interim provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

“They continue to pour their energy into providing challenging coursework and opportunities for hands-on learning, plus the meaningful engagement and support that students need to stay on track toward graduation.”

The academic profile of incoming first-year students is strong, said T. David Garcia, vice president for Enrollment Management. He noted that the high school GPA for first-time freshmen has been rising steadily since 2016, reaching an average of 3.30 this fall.

“Our renewable Vulcan Merit scholarships make Cal U an especially attractive option for students with a strong academic record,” Garcia said.

Although the majority of incoming students are Pennsylvania residents, he added, the incoming class includes students from 36 states and U.S. territories, plus five countries outside the United States.

Cal U announced on July 31 that all courses would be delivered remotely for the entire Fall 2020 semester. Classes that formerly were taught in person are being delivered virtually, mostly through real-time remote learning, which allows students to engage with their professors and classmates on a regular schedule, much as they would on campus.

The university’s Global Online program, which has been offering asynchronous (“on your own schedule”) online degree programs for more than a decade, grew by 7.74% compared to last year. This fall, 1,064 Cal U students are enrolled in undergraduate Global Online programs and 1,567 in graduate-level programs.

Enrollment data also show a decrease of about 1% in the mean number of credits students are taking at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

Cal U Receives $1.7 Million Grant TRIO Student Support Services at California University of Pennsylvania has been awarded a five-year, $1.7 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

The Student Support Services program is one of the three original TRIO programs authorized in 1968 by the Higher Education Act of 1965. Federally funded TRIO programs assist first-generation students – those whose parents or guardians did not obtain a bachelor’s degree – as well as income-eligible students, foster youth and students with disabilities as they progress from middle school through college.

“This grant will allow us to continue the important work of providing the support that TRIO-eligible students need to ensure their success at California University of Pennsylvania,” said Laura Giachetti, the director of TRIO Student Support Services and assistant professor in the Department of TRIO and Academic Services.

Activities and services offered by TRIO Student Support Services at Cal U include instruction in basic skills, peer support, academic advising, financial aid and career counseling, graduate school counseling and mentoring.

In 2019, more than 1,000 students at Cal U — nearly one-fourth of the university’s undergraduates — were identified as first-generation.

Jewelry Sale to Benefit Operation Troop Appreciation

By Lois Thomson "Who is going to buy used jewelry?" asked Kathie Gasior's son, when he learned about his mother's idea to have a fundraiser for Operation Troop Appreciation that involved selling donated jewelry. Who is going to buy?

His mother soon found out that the answer is, a lot of people.

Gasior has been volunteering with Kathie Gasior of Operation Troop OTA for 15 years, and this is the sevAppreciation reviews some enth year for the jewelry sale. Set for of the jewelry donations for the upcoming sale.

November 6 and 7 — always the weekend before Veterans' Day – the event will be held at South Park Community Center, behind the South Park Library. She said people have been calling to ask if the sale is still on, and the answer is yes.

Gasior, chairperson of the event, and her two right-hand ladies, Vicki Robb and Janet Landa – along with other volunteers – take care of all preparations.

Gasior handles the pricing, describing it as "5 4-3-2-1," as everything is priced from $5 to $1. She makes her determinations by the initial value and quality of the items, and whether or not they are name brands. All jewelry is checked to make sure it is clean and in good shape; broken pieces or ones with missing stones are put into separate bags and sold as items for craft use.

The first year brought in $1,300 for the organization, and Gasior said the total jewelry sales have raised more than $60,000 so far. She is hoping to top $10,000 this year; the sale is one of OTA's most important fundraisers, and this one is particularly vital as other events had to be canceled because of the pandemic. The money is used to purchase items for overseas troops, mainly in Afghanistan and the Middle East. "We help those who are deployed and in imminent danger," she said. "The commanding officer or the chaplain must make the request, and we send them what they need." OTA also assists displaced veterans who have returned home.

Gasior emphasized that everyone involved with OTA is a volunteer, including the president. "It's nice to know we still have people who love our soldiers and love our country," she said. "We're so grateful we have people who serve, and this is our way of saying thank you."

South Hills Pet Rescue Able to Set Benefit Date

By Lois Thomson The event had to be re-scheduled twice as a result of the Covid pandemic, but because it is so important, South Hills Pet Rescue finally came up with a solution. Its Bags & Bling Purse Bash fundraiser will take place October 3 at the South Park Clubhouse, 2200 Brownsville Road, at the facility's large, outdoor lot.

Kelly Backo, who helps plan events for Pet Rescue, explained how the process will work: people who purchase a $40 ticket will automatically be entered into a drawing for one of eight high-end purses, and pieces of Swarovski crystal jewelry, as well as upscale door prizes. Purses include such name brands as Coach, Burberry, Fendi, and Kate Spade, all in the $800 to $900 range. Backo said the purses are purchased with donations, with Toyota of South Hills being a big sponsor of the event.

Patrons will also have the opportunity to buy additional tickets for basket raffles, which will include baskets with such themes as wine, gardening, fall, Italian, and kids' toys, among others. "And of course there are dog baskets," Backo said.

She said those who purchase tickets will do a quick walk-through — no idling will be permitted. There will also be an opportunity to bond with dogs who are available for adoption. The event will run from 12 – 4 p.m., and after people have returned home, a live drawing for the prizes will take place at 4:15 p.m. on the South Hills Pet Rescue Facebook page.

Greater Monessen Historical Society Features Women's Suffrage Exhibit

Greater Monessen Historical Society board member Candis Kelley, and secretary Ginny Fisfis, were among the volunteers who put together an exhibit on the women's suffrage movement in Monessen.

By Lois Thomson Last year, Ginny Fisfis, secretary of the Greater Monessen Historical Society, decided that the society should put together an exhibit on women's suffrage to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women receiving the right to vote. After she and her colleagues got underway with the plans, she said it was like "trying to put a puzzle together by reading newspapers."

Fisfis particularly called on Dan Zyglowicz, president of the Historical Society, who also works at the library at California University. "He has access to all of the old newspapers, so he did the research," she said.

The result of their efforts is an exhibit that stretches almost the entire depth of the Historical Society building, located on Donner Avenue, depicting the people and events of that time. The history began at the end of 1913, and by February 1914, a women's suffrage association had been organized. Fisfis said the Monessen group was the most active of any in the Mon Valley, and speakers came from as far away as Chicago and Colorado to address the association. "When we started, I had no idea that Monessen was a hotbed of activity that was able to attract such important people to come in."

The exhibit covers the history of the suffrage movement both in Monessen and as it traveled to the nation's capital, and features a suffrage victory flag: each time a state ratified the amendment, a star was added. Interestingly, when the amendment passed, there were approximately 4,000 women of voting age in Monessen, but only 524 voted in the next election. Why? Fisfis explained that they could only vote if they were able to pay the poll tax of 40 cents and their husband was a U.S. citizen, and it was often difficult for both of those factors to be in place.

The display includes a section on the new freedoms women received as they were able to move into respected professions that were formerly, generally, reserved for men – professions in the medical and legal fields, and politics, for example. The exhibit also has a special focus on women who are graduates of Monessen High School.

Additionally, there is a section on the 1970's NOW movement, with commemorative buttons and posters, many of which were supplied by Historical Society board member Candis Kelley, who was active in the movement. "I never throw anything away," she said.

Fisfis said a total of eight volunteers worked to put together the exhibit, which will be on display into 2021.

News From The Donora Historical Society And Smog Museum Traveling WWII Exhibit Helps to Raise Funds We Can Do It! WWII - PAYING distribute donations to help our longstanding Donora institutions.

IT FORWARD - JOIN US! The Donora Historical Society had a lot of goals with hosting the Heinz History Center’s travelling WWII Exhibit. Primarily, they were: • To promote history, especially Donora history – we did that with our Donora veteran artifacts upstairs and downstairs of the library as well as at the Smog Museum with our overflow WWII display. We also had presentations every weekend.

• To bring arts and culture to Donora – we did that with the Opening Night Reception and Fashion Tea that included live music and great food including a “Taste of Donora.”

• To help veterans groups – our breakfast was cancelled, but we wanted to give donations (see below).

• To help students – student groups visited the WWII Exhibit in Donora and we coordinated the Middle School assembly with Holocaust survivor Judah Samet.

• To help our senior population – Residence At Hilltop visited the exhibit and we did a home front presentation for them.

• To invite neighboring historical societies, living history participants and singers to participate.

• To pay stipends to all of our presenters, something we couldn’t afford when we hosted the travelling Civil War Exhibit.

• To give the Donora Library a donation for the use of the space – we did that too when we hosted the travelling Civil War Exhibit.

• To hopefully raise money for the Donora Historical Society.

To that end, while some of our events were postponed due to the virus, we proceeded as we initially intended by distributing $2,800 in donations to Donora veterans groups, the Donora Public Library and the Donora Fire Department. Numerous corporate and foundation grants were written with the intention of not only raising money to host various events during the WWII Exhibit, but to also

Cook Announces Grant to Support Angler Education Rep. Bud Cook (R-Washington/Fayette) announced that the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) awarded $11,016 to the Intermediate Unit 1 in Washington County to engage students enrolled in alternative education and those with special needs.

The local grant as part of an overall initiative to support 14 education projects in 10 counties, including four statewide efforts. The grant program is part of the PFBC’s efforts to recruit new anglers and boaters, retain existing participants in these activities, and reactivate former anglers and boaters whose participation may have lapsed.

“As so many of us from the Mon Valley know, there’s peace and joy in fishing.

The PFBC is working to share the love of this great sport with young adults who may be struggling for a number of reasons, and I’m grateful that some of the grant money to do that will be spent right here in the Mon Valley,” Cook said.

Funds awarded through the program will be used to purchase equipment, supplies and educational resources; provide transportation; and cover costs associated with the development and delivery of the program. All projects funded for this round of grants must be completed by July 31, 2021.

Members of the forYOU team take the staff member’s lead, and they check in as little or as often as the staff member needs. If the forYOU team member feels like he or she isn’t able to provide the level of care the staff member needs, the referral can be escalated to the employee assistance program. “When we experience a difficult situation, we are human and are affected by it and can feel as if we are alone,” says Malay Sheth, MD, OB/GYN with WHS OB/GYN Care who originally suggested the forYOU program and now serves as a physician Peer Supporter. “I think it’s invaluable to have the ability to speak to someone peer-to-peer and have them listen to you and empathize about what you’ve been through.

Local People News Friends of South Park Honor Local Girl Scout Gold Award Recipient The Friends of South Park voted recently to recognize Molly Hoffman with a plaque and gift card for her contributions to the wildlife in South Park.

In the summer before her freshman year of high school, Molly designed and planted a pollinator garden at the Girl Scout Cabin in South Park for which she earned the Girl Scout Silver award. As a senior at Bethel Park High School she decided to “Go for the Gold” and designed a vernal pool which is a seasonal body of water that creates a habitat for frogs and other amphibians. Working with the Allegheny County Park Rangers and the Molly Hoffman Allegheny County Parks Foundation, Molly completed the project in South Park last summer.

“It was really cool,” said Molly. “I didn’t know you could do this to help the amphibians.” In addition, she constructed 3 bat boxes and 10 bee boxes that were placed in the new Paul Riis Meadow located behind the Cascades at Stone Manse. Due to urbanization the natural habitat of much of our wildlife has been eroded. The bat and bee boxes provide shelter as well as a place to keep their young safe from predators. Carole Smith from the Parks Foundation said Molly logged 100 hours working on the project and needed 100 additional hours of help from the Rangers and other volunteers. She really enjoyed digging the pool and using hand tools she had never used before. Molly developed her love of nature and the environment on the many camping trips with her family. Molly is currently attending Gettysburg College majoring in Environmental Studies and Public Policy and hopes to join the Peace Corps upon graduation. The Friends wanted to add their thanks to Molly and congratulate her on receiving the Girl Scouts Gold Award which is given to young women whose projects have “demonstrated extraordinary leadership, had a measurable and sustainable impact and addressed a local challenge related to a national or global issue”.

remove root matter under the soil.

Add compost or gardening soil to pots, window boxes and other garden spaces, so they are ready with rich nutrients to support fall plant growth.

If you've grown hardy perennials, just a brief tidy-up is needed. Clip away any brown foliage or spent flowers and provide a light covering of mulch at the base of the plant to ready them for frosty temperatures.

Embrace fall hues Rich reds, vivid oranges and happy yellows are traditional autumnal hues that add energy to your gardens as temperatures turn. A classic coneflower and pollinator favorite, like the Sombrero Echinacea from Darwin Perennials, will brighten your space even as temperatures fall. Available in a variety of colors, Sombrero Baja Burgundy and Fiesta Orange are ideal for bringing vibrant fall color to sunny spaces and for attracting bees, songbirds and butterflies to your yard.

Tip: Leave the older blooms of Echinacea on their stems to feed wildlife into the winter. Then cut them back after their feast to put new energy into the plant for spring.

Flowers that thrive Another colorful and easy care option are Cool Wave Pansies, a fastgrowing, long-lasting trailing pansy available in a variety of bold colors (Continued on page 28)

perfect for revamping your outdoor space for fall. A cool-season gardener's dream, you can feel confident that these blooms will thrive even as fall temperatures ebb and flow. Check out Cool Wave Raspberry Swirl with cheerful magenta and white petals and a delightful yellow center. Tip: Place your Cool Wave Pansies where you've also planted bulbs. Their hardiness will make them the first pansy to reappear next spring.

Enjoy homegrown vegetables In addition to adding style to your space with fall flowers, incorporate seasonal vegetables to enjoy fresh, healthy produce straight from your backyard or patio. Burpee Sweet Thang Cabbage adds beauty to any garden with its attractive dark green leaves. A touch sweeter than collards or kale, this non-heading cabbage delivers a delicious bite.

A wonderful option for full-sun gardens is Bright Lights Swiss Chard, a stunning All-America Selectionswinning mix that produces delicious, mildly flavored stems in a rainbow of colors - including yellow, gold, orange, pink, violet, green, white, red and even striped! Tip: Harvest the tender bronze to dark green leaves young to enjoy in salads or eat like spinach or beet greens.

Falling Leaves, Football, Halloween, And A New Kitchen

(NewsUSA) - Many people believe spring or summer is the best time of year to get your dream kitchen.

Not so fast.

Those seasons may be the most popular time of year for a project such as this, but when you take a deeper dive into the world of home remodeling, you'll find October and November are actually the best times to remodel your kitchen. By taking advantage of the fall season, you can get your project done before the holidays (and save a ton of money.)

Slower season means better values Spring and summer may seem the ideal time to begin a remodel project, but it's the busy season for contractors and retailers know it. High demand can mean higher prices and longer lead times to get things done. More people are recognizing this and getting their kitchen done in the fall. They can find (Continued on following page)

better deals and, just as importantly, get their house ready for the holidays.

Here are some insider tips: * Watch for the sale. Retailers will push great savings in October and November to clean out inventory. * Find an expert. The Internet is great for research, but for a big project such as a kitchen, find a retailer that offers personal design help. * Remodel the whole kitchen, not just one part. You can get the best deals from retailers that do it all: cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets - even flooring. * Plan installation. Ask if they offer installation. Try to find a store such as Cabinets To Go in your area. They also offer free, 3D-kitchen design, installation and hundreds of style options for cabinets, countertops, sinks, faucets, and flooring. They offer some of their best deals of the year right now. For more information, visit (Continued on following page)

Show it off for the Holidays Home blogger Cassie Bustamante also encourages taking advantage of this season for a remodel.

"The fall is a financially wise time to undertake a new kitchen, but it also makes sense for a lot of other reasons," she says.

"The holidays are about family time and the kitchen is the heart of it all."

Bustamante also feels there's a more personal reason."Maybe you'll finally get up the nerve to host Thanksgiving dinner since you'll have such a gorgeous new space."

The kitchen is the heart of the holiday experience. It's the place we gather with loved ones to prepare meals and share stories. Now, imagine how amazing it would feel to host the holidays in your newly-remodeled kitchen knowing you saved a lot of money? Great family time during the holidays is more than just a kitchen, but it's the perfect place to bring it all together.

SCIATIC PAIN

ASK the

EXPERTS

Q: What is sciatic pain?

A: Sciatic pain describes pain that goes from 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.

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.

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.
