FIFTH ANNUAL SWEET EVENT FOR FAMILIES Latrobe Dairy Queen, Valley Dairy Co-Presenting Great American Banana Split Celebration Aug. 25-27

housands of bananas will again be split in downtown Latrobe this summer! The fifth annual Great American Banana Split Celebration, presented by Latrobe Dairy Queen and Valley Dairy Restaurants will return Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Aug 25, 26 and 27. The growing community celebration is sponsored by the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce in partnership with the city of Latrobe and local foundations. A fun-filled weekend for kids of all ages will feature the things that have made the Celebration so popular including food, craft and activity vendors, continuous live entertainment on two stages, the Latrobe Art Center’s Yellow Tie Gala, Latrobe Park and Recreation’s 5K Banana Run, car cruise, a new Bubble Bash, a banana boat race, giant coloring wall and a scavenger hunt. Many opportunities for attendees to enjoy one of the iconic desserts will be featured including stations set up by Valley Dairy and Latrobe Dairy Queen. Attendees will also be able to follow “Strickler’s Way” in downtown Latrobe and learn the history of the Banana Split and visit downtown Valley Dairy for a Latrobe original split. This year’s event will also feature a daily Banana March through the streets to Strickler’s Way. The GABSC gets an earlier start this year, with festivities beginning at noon on Friday. The first of the threeday party falls on National Banana Split Day.

Page 4 | The Newsletter

This will be the first GABSC without the man who was behind Latrobe being recognized as the official birthplace of the banana split: Joe Greubel, or Ice Cream Joe as he was widely known. Greubel was the president of Valley Dairy Restaurants from 19892009 and chairman of the board and spokesman in the persona of Ice Cream Joe until he died Oct. 4, 2016. His life-long contributions, commitments and memory will be recognized and given tribute during this year’s event. “How could we not be excited to be one of the Presenting Sponsors?” said Greubel’s daughter, Melissa Blystone, now the president of the company. “My dad would be so happy to know that the celebration was continuing and growing quickly.” The banana split was first created in 1904 by a young pharmacist, David Strickler, in Tassel’s Pharmacy (which later became Strickler’s Drug Store) on Ligonier Street in Latrobe. The National Association of Ice Cream Retailers acknowledged Latrobe as the birthplace of the banana split in 2004 and, in 2013, the Pennsylvania Museum and Historical Commission placed a plaque at the former site of Strickler’s pharmacy. “We are thrilled to be a co-presenter of this year’s Great American Banana Split Celebration,” said Katie Miller, the manager of the Latrobe Dairy Queen. “Really, it’s about the community. If it wasn’t for the community support, Dairy Queen wouldn’t be what it is. And I think the chamber has done a great job of making the event a success.”

Having the two businesses creating banana splits will give ice cream aficionados the opportunity to sample two different types of the dessert. “We’re excited to be working with Valley Dairy,” Miller said. “Both of us have customer bases that are kind of different. We just love the food and family part of this event.” The very popular Yellow Tie Gala, held at the Latrobe Art Center, will again feature the live music of Neon Swing Experience. Dining, dancing and all things bananas – including a Yellow Tie cocktail – will highlight the semi-formal Friday evening event. A fixture at past celebrations, the car cruise, will be held at WCCC Latrobe. This year it will benefit the American Cancer Society – Latrobe Relay for Life. The MedExpress Arena will feature plenty of interactive activities for kids, including a banana boat race, a giant coloring wall and a scavenger hunt. “The Great American Banana Split Celebration has quickly become a signature event for both the Latrobe community and the entire region,” said Allen Martello, Interim President at the Greater Latrobe – Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, “last year the event brought over 25,000 people to Latrobe, and we are excited to see the continued growth as we plan for this year’s celebration.” For more information, visit www.bananasplitfest.com.

23RD ANNUAL EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION BANQUET HONORS LOCAL STUDENTS GLSD senior Halle Green and teacher Lorraine Bryner at the 23rd Annual Excellence in Education Banquet, hosted by the Greater Latrobe - Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce on May 16th at DeNunzio's Italian Chophouse.

udy Swigart, the superintendent of the Greater Latrobe School District, has attended nearly 10 of the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce’s annual Excellence in Education banquets. And while the names and faces change, Swigart comes away with a similar feeling each year. “Obviously, having the students in that room is appropriate and they’re very deserving,” she said. “But the neat thing about the banquet is it gives these students a chance to think about where they’ve been and where they’re going.” The event is unique in a couple ways. First, this was the 23rd of its’ kind, a remarkable run. Secondly, is the format. The top five percent of graduating seniors at Greater Latrobe, Derry

Area, Greensburg Central Catholic High School, Dr. Robert Ketterer Charter School and Eastern Westmoreland Career & Technology Center are invited to the banquet, which was held May 15 at DeNunzio’s Italian Chophouse at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport. In addition to the invitation, honorees are asked to select a teacher who made an impact on them at some point during their scholastic career. “It’s been my experience that we do see repeat teachers being honored and many of those are from more recent years in the students’ academic experience,” Swigart said. “But we had a student choose a second-grade teacher this year and to me, having that ability to look back like that is really great. And generally speaking, it’s great to see teachers being recognized in this event. As a teacher, you

never know the impact you’ve had on someone.” Jocelyn Stas of Latrobe, a 2016 graduate of Saint Vincent College, spoke to the students and related some of her experiences to them. “I said that when I was their age, I had no idea what I wanted to do,” she said. “Finding your career path is not always easy, but you have to embrace every opportunity that comes your way. Even the smallest thing can change your life.” The Excellence in Education banquet is a feel-good evening not only for students, but teachers as well. “You get to see the teachers getting recognized for the good work they do and that’s really a neat thing to see,” said Swigart, who was a teacher earlier in her career. “I don’t think there’s a big honor for teachers than this night.”

SECOND ANNUAL FRED DAY BRINGS FAMILY FUN TO LATROBE

year ago, Fred Rogers was brought home, figuratively. A life-size bronze statue sitting on a bench was placed in James M. Rogers Park as was an historical marker. It has become a popular spot for those wanting to get a picture “with” Fred and figures to be even more so when the second annual Mister Rogers Family Day is held June 10 in downtown Latrobe. Entertainment, activities for kids, food and appearances by Daniel Tiger and the Neighborhood Trolley will be part of the day along with a couple other interesting activities. Inside the Latrobe Art Center a weaving project has been taking place, a project aptly named “Weaving the Community Together.” Elementary school students and visitors to the art center have been invited to take a seat at a portable floor loom, creating a fun and colorful wall hanging that will be displayed there during the day of the event. Last year the project was a piece of art formed by 2,500 puzzle pieces. An addition to this year’s day-long celebration of Mister Rogers will be a Trivia Stroll. Six participating businesses in downtown will take part in the event, with gift certificates from each business going to lucky drawing winners. “It’s just another idea to bring people into the stores,” said Leigh

Page 8 | The Newsletter

Gaul, owner of Chicora’s Boutique. “There are six businesses participating and to be a part of the stroll, people can start at any business, pick up a card with the trivia questions on it and start the stroll.” “We are really excited to see so many GLLV Chamber members jumping on board to participate in this year’s activities,” said Allen Martello, interim president at the GLLV Chamber of Commerce. The businesses are Chicora’s, the Medicine Shoppe, Knupp & Scholfield Country Cottage, Rose Style Shoppe, Dainty Pastry and the Latrobe Art Center. “Once a question is answered correctly, the person receives a colorful necklace and move on to the next store,” Gaul said. “Get the six necklaces and go to the Quatrini/Rafferty Building where you’ll turn in the completed card. Each completed card holder will receive a free pool pass that can be used at Rogers-McFeely Pool any time this summer.” The Eastern Westmoreland Career and Technology Center will be represented at the event and will help youngsters create a special memory of the day. Lisa Newhouse, Cooperative Education Coordinator at EWCTC, explained. “We’re going to set up near the statue of Mister Rogers and kids will have the opportunity to get a picture with the statue or with the cutouts

of Daniel Tiger’s friends,” Newhouse said. “We’ll do one or the other and the parents can take the other one. We’ll be able to print the photo right there and put it onto a matter that’s in the shape of a trolley.” There will be plenty of activities for children like a bouncy house, story time, crafts, puppets and Adams Memorial Library’s Bookmobile. Daniel Tiger will be at the Latrobe Art Center Annex 3. Live entertainment will take place from noon-4 in the center of town. Food vendors will be plentiful, serving a variety of festival-type food throughout the day, and visitors will also be able to purchase Mister Rogers merchandise outside the Art Center. The Latrobe Historical Society will again have a display inside the Quatrini/Rafferty that will include a popular historic Latrobe film, Fred Rogers “stuff,” and will be the site of the drawing for winners of the Trivia Stroll at 4:30 p.m. For those traveling in and out of downtown Latrobe, The Neighborhood Visitor & Information Center, located in Sharky’s Plaza on Route 30 will be open throughout the day. Visitors can stop and see one of Mister Rogers’ sweaters from the show, a pair of his shoes, as well as photographs and memorabilia representing his life in the Latrobe community.

Latrobe Mayor Rosie Wolford sits with the bronze statue of Mister Rogers, which was dedicated in Rogers' Memorial Park in 2016. The second annual Mister Rogers Family Day will be held June 10 in downtown Latrobe.

PACE INDUSTRIES AIRO DIVISION

ver 360 employees, 24 robotic arms that produce great products and satisfied customers have made Pace Industries Airo Division a going and growing concern in Loyalhanna. The Airo Division, located on Industrial Blvd. in Loyalhanna, was founded in 1975 to produce aluminum die cast compressor blades for the nuclear industry. But the business has evolved, products have changed and how those products are produced have changed. “We started with one die casting machine back in the 1970s, we have 24 now and most of those are robotically automated,” said Division President Marshall Haines. “We’ve moved three times and expanded three or four times to the point we are today.” While a variety of products come out of the 155,400-square foot facility, much emphasis is placed on specialty cosmetic die-casting, according to Haines. “We can put a finished surface on one side of a die casting that allows it to be painted or chrome plated very easily with few or no flaws,” he said. “That’s what makes Airo stand out amongst its peers within our own organization and in the industry.” One of Airo’s longest-running customers is Harley-Davidson motorcycles. “They’ve been a customer here since 2003,” Haines said. “We’ve been making engine components for them and we’ve retooled their new Milwaukee 8 engines. We do outer

Page 10 | The Newsletter

engine covers, hand controls, and most of their engine platforms. We’re probably known for that more than anything else. That is our primary product. We also do automotive work and we’re growing that segment.” Airo also has 40 CNCs (computer numeric control), a tool used in prototyping and full production for cutting, carving, machining and milling. “We do as much machining as die-casting,” Haines said. “We also have a full paint facility, our west facility, just a mile down the road from here.” Airo’s niche in the business world is one of those that follows the economy.“We have been growing and growing over the years and continue to look for new customers and add new business,” Haines said. And just as importantly, and maybe even more importantly, is all of that production and growth has been done safely. “It is the No. 1 priority at Pace,” Haines said. “It’s a corporate tenant from the top. It’s not negotiable. Safety is first thing we think about every single day. We want our employees to come to work, work in a safe environment and go home the same way they came in the door, if not better.” Employees make personal safety pledges not only just involving their time on the job, but in their lives away from work as well. “We have an excellent record. We watch it very carefully. There’s a strong environmental and safety group here. We’re well-

trained and well-taught in terms of knowing what to do and what not to do. There’s a lot of vigilance. A lot of times an employee thinks they’re doing something faster or taking a shortcut. We’re always emphasizing that shortcuts are not the way to go.” Robots are doing things than can be hazardous. We’re in a hazardous business, any manufacturing business can be and it all depends on how you handle it.” “We have an excellent record. We watch it very carefully. There’s a strong environmental and safety group here. We’re well-trained and well-taught in terms of knowing what to do and what not to do. There’s a lot of vigilance. A lot of times an employee thinks they’re doing something faster or taking a shortcut. Don’t take shortcut, follow the protocol.” Haines is a member of the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors and is a big proponent of the work done by the organization.“I find that the most rewarding feature of being part of the Chamber team is the ability to speak on behalf of our local employees and Pace Industries in interchange with the other industry and business leaders in the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley toward our collective goal of improving the area and drawing more businesses to us,” said Haines, who has been at his post in Loyalhanna for 18 months.

OVER $7.3 MILLION IN DIVIDENDS RETURNED TO CHAMBERCHOICE PARTICIPANTS Penn National Insurance has announced an 8% dividend for the fifth program year of the ChamberChoice Business Insurance program. Members of the Chamber Choice Business Insurance Program, who placed their insurance coverage with Penn National Insurance during the 2015/2016 program year and remained chamber members and policyholders through the end of the program year, will receive a dividend equal to 8% of their total business insurance premium (excluding Umbrella premium). Over the past five years, Penn National Insurance has returned an average of 7.4% in dividends and returned to the business community and region over $6 million in total. “This program has not only been a great benefit to our members, but has had an economic impact by putting dollars back into our local community,” said Allen Martello, Interim GLLV Chamber President. An important aspect of this group insurance program is preventing loss and controlling claims costs. Because dividends are based on the group’s collective loss experience, a business that may have had a significant loss may still be eligible to receive a dividend. The program is sold exclusively through local, independent agents who can offer chamber members a variety of coverages and pricing on property and casualty insurance, including businessowners, commercial auto, general liability, inland marine and workers’ compensation. Dividends are paid on all of these coverages. In addition, through safety consulting, Penn National Insurance and local independent insurance agencies encourage member businesses to develop safety practices to substantially reduce or eliminate workplace injuries. The Penn National Insurance program is just one of many benefits of chamber membership. For more information, contact Hannah Kahn at 724-537-2671, ext 102.
