Addressing PA’s Nursing Shortage  Working to address the critical shortage of nurses and ensure access to health care, Pennsylvania is taking the first step to implement the Nurse Licensure Compact by allowing nurses with multistate licenses issued by 40 other states and territories to practice here.Effective Sept. 5, registered nurses (RNs) and licensed practical nurses (LPNs) who hold a multistate license through the interstate Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC) will be permitted to practice in the Commonwealth. The change provides a much-needed expansion in the pool of recruits for hospitals and other health care facilities, and helps alleviate burdens on overworked nursing staffs, making conditions safer for both patients and health care workers. A November 2022 survey by The Hospital and Healthsystem Association of Pennsylvania (HAP) showed vacancy rates of 30% for RNs providing direct care, which is a 10 percentage point increase since 2019. A separate HAP report from January 2023 showed that Pennsylvania could have a shortfall of more than 20,000 RNs by 2026. This is an important step toward reversing that trend. PA Elk Cam Back for Another Season!  You can once again check in on the state’s elk herd from the comfort of your own home! The Pennsylvania Game Commission has installed a camera on Elk County game lands that are typically a hub of elk activity as the bugling season heats up. In the coming weeks, bulls will become more vocal as they compete with one another for available cows. In addition to the elk, viewers can expect to see turkeys, deer and other wildlife as well. The top time to see elk on camera is late in the afternoon. If you’d like to see the bugling season in person, the PA Game Commission reminds visitors to always be “Elk Smart.” Give elk space, never feed elk and do your part to ensure the welfare of the herd.

BLESSING BOX ! Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran Church located at 205 Arnold Avenue, Port Allegany
“Have a blessing, leave it. Need a blessing, take it. Above all, be blessed!” That’s the message on a Blessing Box that was installed this summer at Gethsemane Evangelical Lutheran Church located at 205 Arnold Avenue, Port Allegany. The Blessing Box idea was brought to light by Carol Christensen, handcrafted by church member Allen Kelin and installed by church members. The Blessing Box is filled with items – mostly food – that people might need. Although it’s in front of the church, it is for the entire community to use. If people need something, they can just help themselves. If they are able, they may contribute items. The box is basically for nonperishable items such as canned goods, boxed dinners, paper products and personal hygiene items. The Blessing Box is a community outreach to support those in need. The box was installed by Bill and Will John, along with Allen Klein (pictured) who built the box.

Think about it
The Simple Things
by
Pastor B.J. Knefley
We often look for the big things of life for meaning. Marriage, the birth of a child, a new home or job are often at the top of our list of important life events. But are they?
This past week I’ve had a couple of events that have caused me to pause and it’s these types of things that often make us wonder. The events are not huge in the scheme of life, but nevertheless important and perhaps even more heartwarming than the bigger things that we often think of as being significant.
In the Book of I Kings chapter 19 is the story of Elijah. As the story goes Elijah, after having a great experience with the power of God, runs away and hides in a cave. Wanting to hear from God and experience His presence he emerges each time he things he hears what might be God. But it wasn’t the earthquake, or in the fire, but rather a quiet whisper. The same is true for us. We want God to speak loudly and clearly but He doesn’t. Instead, He will often use the simple things of life to speak. Perhaps a voice of a child, or a chance encounter or just a simple event of the day. It’s in those moments that we need to take the time to pause and reflect. Was that God? When you think about it, why wouldn’t it be?
When you consider that God is interested in the simple things of life one would conclude that He must be interested in us as well, (Matthew 6:25-34). Remember that he cares for the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. How much more valuable than these are you and I? That passage reminds us not to be anxious about the things of life, but we do don’t we. Perhaps that’s why He desires to communicate through the simple things of life rather than the big moments. It will often happen in the quiet of the moment when you suddenly become aware. Some have said it was like the passing of the wind that was there, and then gone, but it caused them to pause. Perhaps today is the day for you to pause and explore the simple things. Think about it.
