Seven Fields to Present Plans for Regional Police Department

Borough officials will check out a power point presentation detailing a joint force with Evans City—including costs.

Seven Fields will share with the public a proposed plan for a regional police department with Evans City. Borough officials are set to view a power point presentation on the joint force at Monday’s council meeting at 6 p.m. at the municipal building. Currently, Seven Fields contracts its police services with neighboring Cranberry Township.

Owner Wendy Foster Elliott names the new studio after a mineral with special meaning to her.

With a youth spent near the ocean, saltwater always has played an important role in Wendy Foster Elliott’s life. “I feel like it just heals everything that ails you,” she said. Salt also has other special meanings to the Pine Township resident. A yogi once instructed her to put more “salt” into her teaching, meaning to ground it. The sweat that pours off the body during a hot yoga session also can be described a “salty,” she said.   So when it came to time to dream up a name for her new yoga studio, Foster Elliott decided to go with the mineral. “We were going to name it Cranberry Power Yoga, but within a few seconds we had changed it,” she said. On Monday, Salt Power Yoga officially opened for businesses. Featuring a style of yoga called …
