The Pennsylvania Resources Council is recruiting contractors (compensation is $10 per hour) to work at this Sunday’s “Let’s Tackle Recycling Like Champions” campaign before the Steelers’ AFC Championship Game. It’s fun mingling with tailgaters and handing out blue bags, then the work begins as workers gather the blue bags the tailgaters leave behind after they go to the game. Approximate hours are 2:30 to 8 p.m.
Contact Kyle Winkler at 412-488-7490 x 243 for more information about the event, or to apply for contract work.
The Cancer Caring Center is delighted to welcome Stephanie Samolovitch, MSW, LSW, as their Director of Support Services. Stephanie celebrated her fifth year of survivorship from leukemia last August! She received her undergraduate and Master’s Degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and served as intern the Center from 2008 to 2010. Originally, Stephanie was a pre-pharmacy student who changed her major once she confronted cancer.
Battling cancer changed my entire life. I changed my major to social work in order to help others coping with this disease because I saw firsthand the importance of hope and multi-faceted support. The Cancer Caring Center is a great organization and I look forward to helping our patients and family members!
Stephanie trained with Bonnie Shields, who worked at the Center for seven years before taking a part time job at West Penn. Stephanie most recently spoke about hope in December at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute Gala, and is available to talk about her survivorship and the Center at meetings and social events.
The Cancer Caring Center, located at 4117 Liberty Avenue has been dedicated to providing free support services to cancer patients and loved ones since 1988.

You may have noticed Emergency Snow Route signs appearing around the City, and should have received the Winter Weather Emergency Resource Guide in the mail from the Department of Public Works. In addition, District 7 staff has created a Google Map to make it easier for residents to find the emergency snow routes in our district, which you will find linked below.
As stated in the Resource Guide, please keep in mind that the emergency routes will not come into play unless more than 6 inches of snow are forecasted. Before that point, emphasis will be placed on primary routes and small equipment will be assigned to secondary routes, with tertiary to follow. So, in a typical Pittsburgh snowstorm, the new Emergency Snow Routes would not be employed.
Based on a memo from the previous Director of Public Works (but this probably has not changed), the routes are defined as:
A map of the new Emergency Snow Routes is available.
The Director of Public Works will be addressing Council regarding this plan in the near future, and Councilman Dowd will be requesting an individual meeting to address District 7 in particular. If you have any questions that we can help to answer or bring to the director’s attention, please contact the office at 412-255-2140 or district7@city.pittsburgh.pa.us.
Everyone at the Bloomfield Development Corporation would like to wish all of our readers a Happy & Prosperous New Year!
