The library is collecting new and gently-used books throughout January.
After learning of Slippery Rock University Professor Alice Del Vecchio’s efforts to honor the children and teachers who died at Sandy Hook Elementary School Dec. 14 with the "We Can Read!" book drive, Leslie Pallotta knew it was the perfect project for the Cranberry Public Library, and its patrons, to participate in. “We sort of have an embarrassment of riches with people donating to us,” Pallotta, the library’s director, said. “This is just a way for us to share with others.” Throughout January, donations of new and gently-used children's books may be dropped off in one of the “Cranberry Cares” bins located inside the Cranberry Township Municipal Center on Rochester Road. By Valentine's Day, the books will be distributed to children in …

Slippery Rock brew works offers delicious beer and fun food.
Overview: North Country Brewing is a brewery and eatery in Slippery Rock. Looking like a bar you might expect from somewhere out west, this is one of our favorite places in the area. You can go into North Country after hiking or after a movie and feel at home. It seems like we always end up here after a long hike at McConnell’s Mill State Park. Decor: North Country is a rustic bar with lots and lots of wood inside. The building has been around since 1805, according to the restaurant's website. It is a fun place with lots of eclectic items on the walls. A nice outdoor seating area is ideal for warm fall days and nights. Drinks: North Country Brewing has its own beers that are not only delicious but many have fun names in honor of local …

Brandon Fusco is selected in the sixth round of the National Football League draft.
Former Seneca Valley High School and Slippery Rock University center Brandon Fusco said football has taken him “pretty far” since he joined local youth teams at age 7. The journey might be just beginning. The Minnesota Vikings drafted the 6-foot-4, 305 pound Fusco with the seventh pick (172nd overall) in the sixth round of the National Football League draft on April 30 at New York’s Radio City Music Hall. Fusco admits there are no guarantees in the modern NFL, a $9-billion annual business where careers can be short and the pressure to win is intense. Teams like the Vikings invest millions in scouting players. They rarely make mistakes in the seven-round draft. And they rarely draft a player unless the organization is willing to invest at …

Applying for college? Wondering about the best way to up your chances of getting accepted? Follow these tips and guidelines from college admissions representatives and your guidance counselor to give yourself the edge.
As a May 2010 graduate of Duquesne University, I remember the college application process — the transcripts, the reference letters and the inspirational essay. I remember the sigh of relief I gave when the process was over and my acceptance letter came in the mail. And I can recall the dismay I felt once I graduated and realized the application process never really goes away. But now is not the time to worry about after college. This is the time to complete applications, to begin applying for scholarships, to fill out financial aid forms and to start dreaming about your freshman year. Here are a few tips from admission representatives at Butler County Community College and the University of Pittsburgh main campus, along with a Seneca …
