Could you survive a month in poverty? Join the Community Foundation of the Northern Alleghenies and the Community Education Center on July 30th to find out what it takes to live on a limited budget.
The Poverty Simulation provides participants the opportunity to assume the role of a low-income family member living on a limited budget, going through their days; the experience is broken up into four 15-minute sessions, each representing a week for the family to maintain their home and complete their regular functions. The simulation focuses on the competing priorities, obstacles, and unexpected challenges that characterize living in poverty.
Nonprofit staff, volunteers and board members are encouraged to participate; educators, elected officials, and employers are also among the targeted audiences. Having a more nuanced and empathetic understanding of these dynamics is important to strengthen families and communities. The simulation is a national program that is designed to sensitize those who frequently deal with low-income families, as well as to create a broader awareness of the realities of poverty among policymakers, community leaders, and others.
The event will be held from 9:00am to 1:30pm on Tuesday, July 30th at the Chestnut Street Center in Kane, PA. Registration is required by July 22nd. Please call the Foundation to register or for more information, 814-834-2125. Or visit www.elkcountyfoundation.org.

The BEE Award, meaning Be Extraordinary Every Day, recognizes the care team that supports nursing staff and works closely with them to provide patients with the compassion and care they need.
Bernadette was nominated by two residents, one who shared:
“I would like to nominate Bernadette for the care she gave me when I had a bug bite on my back. I had Bernadette look at it and she identified it needed care immediately before it got infected. Every morning, she changed the dressings and after several days, it looked better and had not spread. She gave her time, care, and the attention that I needed. Bernadette is a very caring and patient person.”

HARRISBURG, Pa (July 22) – The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) began its quarterly business meeting today by encouraging anglers and boaters to continue to enjoy summer fishing and boating opportunities across the Commonwealth while staying safe and being aware of weather conditions.
“There is still plenty of time this summer to enjoy the water safely and continue to make fishing and boating memories with family and friends,” said PFBC President William Gibney. “With the recent stretch of hot and dry weather across the Commonwealth, even more people are flocking to our rivers, lakes, and streams to have fun and find some relief from the heat. While there is plenty of room for everyone, please continue to be courteous to others and be mindful of our aquatic resources. Please keep our natural areas clean and always wear your lifejacket.”
In his report to the Board, Executive Director Tim Schaeffer noted that throughout the recent Independence Day holiday weekend, 61 Waterways Conservation Officers (WCOs) and 34 deputy WCOs participated in Operation Dry Water. The special operation conducted from July 4-6, 2024, was held in partnership with the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, U.S. Coast Guard, and other conservation law enforcement agencies across the country to prevent boating accidents and fatalities through education and enhanced Boating Under the Influence (BUI) enforcement. This special operation resulted in 12 BUI arrests across the Commonwealth, including the arrest of one boat operator who had a Blood Alcohol Concentration of .25, which is more than three times the legal limit for impairment. In addition to BUI violations, 234 general boating citations and 876 warnings were issued.
To date, there have been nine recreational boating fatalities in Pennsylvania in 2024. For more information on boating safety including life jacket wear, visit the PFBC website (Fishandboat.com).
