Health Assistant students at Seneca Highlands Career & Technical Center have learned that wellness is not just a state of not being sick. It is actually a holistic idea that wellness is a combination of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, environmental, vocational, and financial pursuits. When a person is healthy and thriving, all of these elements have come together to promote a good quality of life, resulting in harmony and contentment. By evaluating negative health outcomes, students are encouraged to look closely at the resources available in their communities and determine how possible solutions to these negative health outcomes can be found.
On Monday, May 20th, the Seneca Highlands CTC Health Assistant students will be at the Shop- n- Save for their annual Healthy Lifestyles Community Wellness Fair.

Each and every day, emergency medical responders answer calls for assistance with one purpose – to save lives. These dedicated individuals, whether volunteer or career personnel, are professionals who do their absolute best to provide lifesaving services in our communities.
It is important for us to recognize the service and dedication of these men and woman and next week provides a great opportunity! The week of May 19-25 is designated National Emergency Medical Services Week. In fact, this year marks the 50th anniversary of EMS week with a theme of “Honoring our Past. Forging our Future.”
Those of us who are students of history recognize how important it is to study our history to focus on a better future. The history of EMS is rooted on the battlefield with care provided to our soldiers during wartime. From there it was recognized we needed trained individuals to respond to accidents and medical emergencies. In fact, one of the first ambulance services in the country was founded right here in Pennsylvania in 1967. The Freedom House Ambulance Service in Pittsburgh was staffed by Black paramedics who were trailblazers in the field of EMS.
The first EMS Week was dedicated by President Gerald Ford in 1974 to call on the nation to support efforts to improve emergency medical care across the country. Since that time, we have made great advancements with lifesaving skills, technology and medical equipment…but we are at a crossroads.
Clearfield, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced that it will conduct surface treatment operations, more commonly known as “oil and chip,” on a pair of roads in Elk County over the next two weeks. This maintenance treatment seals the road surface to keep water out, restores the friction of the surface to enhance traction, and extends the pavement life between resurfacings.
Starting Tuesday, May 21, PennDOT Elk County Maintenance crews will be engaged in surface treatment operations on Route 120 in the City of St. Marys to the Cameron County line. Flaggers in the roadway will provide traffic control during daylight hours during these operations. PennDOT anticipates these operations will continue through Thursday, May 23.
The following week, starting on Tuesday, May 28, crews will begin operations on Route 255 between Johnsonburg and the City of St. Marys. PennDOT will reduce the speed limit within this work zone to 45 miles per hour. Reducing the speed limit will reduce the time it takes for the stones to fully adhere to the hardened asphalt and help prevent oil and chips from coming free of the roadway. Flaggers in the roadway will again provide traffic control during daylight hours.
