New Waterways Conservation Officers Graduate
Begin Duties in Region
HARRISBURG, Pa. (June 24) – Eighteen waterways conservation officers (WCO) from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) have formally graduated from the agency’s H.R. Stackhouse School of Fishery Conservation and Watercraft Safety and have started working in their assigned regions across the state.
“Learn your districts well so that you can properly advise anglers, boaters and others who have questions about where to fish or boat and about how to stay safe on our lakes, rivers and streams,” PFBC Executive Director John Arway said during the 21st Class graduation ceremony held today at Fort Indiantown Gap. “You have a difficult and challenging job ahead of you, but if you do it right, it will be the most rewarding experience you will ever have.”
“Always remember that we serve the public and our natural resources and not ourselves and your decisions will be guided accordingly,” he added. “You become not only a part of the PFBC team, but also part of a much larger conservation team that includes our anglers, boaters and other conservationists who are our partners and allies. We cannot forget that.”
The new waterways conservation officers, their hometowns and assigned regions are:
- Jacob Bennett, Middleburg, Snyder County. Assigned to Snyder, Union, Montour, and western Northumberland counties.
- Michael Blair, Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. Assigned to southern Bucks County.
- Justin Boatwright, Muncy, Lycoming County. Assigned to Potter County.

- Daniel Wilson, Dravosburg, Allegheny County. Assigned to southern Westmoreland County.
“Pennsylvania's public natural resources are the common property of all the people, including generations yet to come,” added Board President Edward Mascharka, III, who represents the agency’s 1st District. “As trustee of these resources, the Commonwealth shall conserve and maintain them for the benefit of all the people.”
“Due to you and your training efforts, sound judgment, and foresight, the aquatic resources of Pennsylvania will be better protected for this and future generations as the Constitution guarantees,” he added. “You should take pride in the accomplishments you have made and go forward into the field to serve and protect the natural resources of this Commonwealth and the citizens of Pennsylvania.”
Before graduating, officers undergo an extensive 52-week training program. They completed Municipal Police Officers Basic Training in December. The training course, held at the Pennsylvania State Police Northwest Training Center in Meadville, Crawford County, covered all phases of police work, from the Vehicle and Crimes codes to use of firearms and conducting criminal investigations. Officers then completed seven months of on-the-job training with seasoned WCOs, including assisting with investigations, patrolling regions, participating in public outreach events and stocking waterways.

Thompson Announces Grant for Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health
Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson (PA-5) today announced the award of a $172,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration to the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health, located on the University Park Campus of Penn State University. The funding will be used to continue the Office of Rural Health’s mission of strengthening health care delivery systems for rural health care providers across the commonwealth.
“Nearly 30 percent of Pennsylvanian’s reside in rural areas, which are significant distances from metropolitan hospitals. Through programming, education, and outreach the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health helps smaller communities, like those throughout the 5th Congressional District, continue providing access to quality health care” said Thompson.
The Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health was founded in 1991 and provides expertise in the areas of rural health, agricultural health and safety, and community and economic development. Its activities include education, outreach, advocacy and special projects focused on small rural hospitals.
“We were so happy to receive news of this grant, which is essential to supporting the mission of the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health,” said Director Lisa Davis. “We are proud to be a ‘one-stop-shop’ for rural health care needs, with services encompassing health care services, including assisting rural residents with health care options and transportation.”

PITT-BRADFORD TO ADD THREE COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS MINORS THIS FALL

The areas, applications software development, cybersecurity and digital forensics, and systems and network administration, will be concentrations for students within the CIS&T major. With the addition of a few pre-requisite courses, each area can serve as a minor for students who are not majoring in CIS&T.
Dr. Shushan Zhao has been hired to direct the security and forensics concentration/minor. Zhao completed his doctoral degree at the School of Computer Science at the University of Windsor in Canada in 2012.
He has served as a lecturer at Bishop’s University and Vanier College, both of which are located in Montreal. Zhao also has rich experience in the telecommunications and software industry, having worked as a software developer at VMWare, Mitel, Ericsson and Nuance in Canada and Finland, where he earned his Master of Science degree in telecommunications software from Helsinki University of Technology.
His research interests are in the areas of computer networks, telecommunications systems, information security, theory and application of cryptography.
Current faculty members Don Lewicki, associate professor of business management, and Dr. Ken Wang, associate professor of computer information systems and technology, will oversee the other two areas.
Lewicki, who is also program director, said that the three areas chosen are expected to be among the fastest-growing occupations in Pennsylvania and have competitive starting salaries.
Having a complete minor on students’ transcripts will make them more marketable, Lewicki said. “Students have been clamoring for these.”
The applications software development minor will allow students to become a software programmer or developer. “This gives them additional depth” over the major alone, Lewicki said. “There are many jobs out there where you have to program.”
Cyber security and forensics are newer fields that are growing rapidly as companies realize that the possibility of a data breach is a huge liability. The digital forensics portion of the minor is expected to attract criminal justice as well as CIS&T majors.
Networking systems administration is for the behind-the-scenes people who keep all things technical up and running.
A new lab allows students in that program to build a small-business computer set-up in Advanced Systems Networking Practicum taught by Steve Ellison, technical analyst and instructor.
The new concentrations/minors, as well as the new lab, scholarships and a new summer program, are made possible through two $1 million gifts from President Emeritus Richard E. and Ruth McDowell and Zippo Manufacturing Co.
For more information on the programs, visit www.upb.pitt.edu/academicprograms/ or contact Lewicki at lewicki@pitt.edu or 814-362-0988.
