I will be hosting a Kids Safety Event on August 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Citizens Hose Fire/Rescue/EMS, 965 Burtner Road, Natrona Heights. There will be fun activities for children, safety tips for parents, and resources for families. Kids’ boxed lunches will be provided.

Following Act 36 becoming law, the Pennsylvania Game Commission had the permissions to vote on additional Sunday hunting days, and I am excited to inform you that they have worked quickly to add an additional 10 Sunday hunting days this season. These additional days are a result of my work on HB 1431, as well as many hunters and farmers who have advocated for this legislation for years. You can review the additional days in PGC’s photo above. This is just the beginning!!!

Eligible Pennsylvania veterans and their families can take advantage of the Veterans Temporary Assistance (VTA) Program, which provides up to $1,600 per year for essential needs like rent, groceries, utility bills, and clothing during times of financial hardship.

Since its launch, the program—run by the PA Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA)—has awarded more than $7.4 million to more than 6,800 veterans and families across the state.

Eligible applicants include veterans with honorable or general discharges, those with service-connected disabilities, and surviving dependents of eligible veterans or service members who died in the line of duty.

To apply or learn more, visit www.dmva.pa.org or contact your local County Veterans Affairs office.

Congratulations to Nanci Goldberg on becoming an Interior Firefighter at Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Services! After many years serving as one of the best teachers around, she is stepping up to serve in this honorable role, which is truly amazing!

My office had the chance to join the Brackenridge Legion, Natrona Legion, Natrona Heights V.F.W. Mayor Lindsay Fraser, General U.S. Grant, Steve Kubicko and the Alle-Kiski Museum for the Civil War Remembrance at Prospect Cemetery. Thank you to Cindy Kocher Homburg for making this happen and hosting such an impactful event remembering the Civil War.
