The THANKS deservingly belongs to THEM and ALL THEY do, not only for veterans and veteran’s families but also for our community.
With humble and heartfelt thanks,

The COVID-19 relief package known as the CARES Act directs $523 million in funding to Pennsylvania schools. Congress established guidelines for distribution of that money, setting up two programs – one for public schools and another for Catholic and nonpublic schools. There are rumors the Wolf administration wants to go against the federal directive and hijack a significant portion of the money that is targeted for nonpublic schools and shift it to public schools. As an advocate for school choice, I hope the governor and Secretary of Education Pedro Rivera rethink their intention. Students and their families who make that education decision deserve that entire $66 million. Beginning July 1, schools in yellow and green counties may reopen for in-person teaching for the 2020-21 school year. Schools will be required to develop safety plans tailored to each school's particular conditions. Local health agencies must be consulted, and the plan must be submitted to the Pennsylvania Department of Education. Please click here for all the details. |

On the Road Again
|
Improvements to Woodland Road intersections with Route 322 in Lawrence Township and Market Street in Clearfield Borough begin today (Friday). The project includes waterline replacement, drainage improvements, sidewalk installation and full-depth reconstruction of the roadway. Work will begin with the westbound lane heading toward downtown Clearfield. A long-term closure of that lane will be implemented Friday and remain in effect 24-hours a day until work on that lane is complete. The open lane will move in a counterflow/opposite direction toward downtown Clearfield. Work on the eastbound lane will begin upon completion of the westbound lane. A long-term closure of that lane will be implemented and remain in effect 24-hours a day until the project’s completion. Traffic will resume normal use of the westbound lane heading toward downtown Clearfield during this phase of the project. Traffic heading toward the Clearfield Mall will NOT be permitted to travel through the work zone for the duration of the project. Motorists are urged to explore alternate routes prior to the start of the project. |

We Are!

The Manufacturing PA initiative pairs Pennsylvania’s best and brightest graduate and undergraduate students with local manufacturers in order to conduct research projects that hopefully produce new technologies and advance innovation statewide. Congratulations to Penn State-Dubois and Horizon Technology of St. Marys, whose application to the initiative has been approved, resulting in a nearly $70,000 grant. Their project is titled "Cold Sintering Aided Manufacture of High Green Strength and Dense Powdered Metal Components (way above my paygrade!)" By the end of the project, the key advantages and processes in the manufacture of electromagnetic PM components will be well established in terms of performance, energy saving and cost effectiveness. |
