VALLEY DAIRY OPENS NEW RESTAURANT IN MT. PLEASANT “Mt. Pleasant fits into our footprint as a company.

We like the small-town feel of the area.” – Melissa Blystone, President

I

t is said good things come to those who wait. When Melissa Blystone cut the ribbon on the 11th store in the Valley Dairy Restaurant collection Monday, May 2 in Mt. Pleasant, that adage became true.

“We’ve looked at multiple locations in Mt. Pleasant,” Blystone, the president of Valley Dairy, said. “We’ve wanted to be there for a long time. My dad (the late “Ice Cream” Joe Greubel) looked around when I was a kid. We really wanted to have a free-standing facility.”

On Tuesday, May 2 at 6 am, the new-

est addition to the Valley Dairy Family of Restaurants officially opened in the Countryside Plaza on Route 819.

“We are next to County Market, and there’s a lot of traffic in that area,” she said. “People have been asking for us to come there, so we’re happy to be there.”

The new 4,234 square-foot facility will seat 150 and employ a staff of 50. While the newest restaurant was built like the stores already in service, there will be an immediate different twist when customers enter the Mt. Pleasant building.

“Our stores have always had a bar at the front of the store, but we’re still featuring our ice cream and, while we don’t make it ourselves, it’s still our recipe,” Blystone, who serves on the board of the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce, said. “We replaced the bar with a dip cabinet that’s glass enclosed so customers can see what’s available.

Plus, it gives them a chance to grab a cone on the way out.”

In recent years, there has been a trend of people getting away from shopping at malls, and that has an effect, not only on the stores in the mall, but those nearby as well. It has certainly affected Blystone and the business which makes the opening of a new store a special event, and Blystone said plans are in the works to make things even more special for current and future customers.

“We’re looking to develop a takeout aspect to our restaurants, we’re looking into an app so orders can be placed online, and we’re working on putting together a loyalty program,” Blystone said. “There’s not a lot of family dining in that area, and Mt. Pleasant fits into our footprint as a company,” she said.

“We like the small-town feel of the area.”

“Valley Dairy has been part of the Greater Latrobe Laurel Valley Chamber of Commerce and of Latrobe’s history for three generations, represented most recently by their patriarch and our good friend, Ice Cream Joe Greubel,” commented Don Orlando, chairman of the GLLV board of directors and director of public relations at Saint Vincent College. “We are delighted to see this valued member continuing to grow and prosper. They represent the values which are important to the people of Latrobe – family orientation, exceptional service and quality food. We look forward to their continued success in Mount Pleasant and all of their other locations throughout the region.”

NEIGHBORHOOD CARD PROGRAM TO CONTINUE WITH NEW GROWTH

T

he Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Neighborhood Card has been a popular benefit for GLLV members and their employees since its inception in 2015.

The card represents the memberto-member discount program where cardholders present their cards at participating businesses to take advantage of the valuable savings afforded through this program. This exclusive benefit applies to not only member businesses, but to their employees, as well.

The chamber has taken steps to not only improve the program, but to ramp it up as well, making it available to more and more people.

“We feel like the Neighborhood Card is one of the best benefits of membership in the chamber,” said Don Orlando, GLLV Board Chairman and Director, Public Relations at Saint Vincent College. “This isn’t just a benefit to the person who represents the company.

It’s for all the employees of the company or business.”

be in circulation in 2017. The list is available to see at GLLV.org.

The program will now be extended to students at Westmoreland County Community College-Latrobe and Saint Vincent College to start, with the possibility of Seton Hill and PittGreensburg being added as well.

All Excela Health employees can show their Excela Health ID to receive the discount offers.

Also, GLLV members will be alerted to the latest discount opportunities through a weekly e-newsletter “Around the Neighborhood” that will come out each Friday. The discount list is constantly changing and is expected to reach 100 discount offers.

“We encourage employees who have not receive their discount cards to go to their personnel office and ask,” Orlando said. “It really is quite a valuable benefit.”

Discounts are available at an extensive list of companies and businesses throughout the area, and the list – as well as new discounts – are always being added.

Members can offer a discount by logging in to their Member Information Center or by calling the chamber at 724-537-2671, and the staff can help set it up. If a business is not enrolled, it can still choose to participate by offering a special discount or promotion to card holders. The business owner or manager has complete control in the design of the discount offered.

Entertainment and dining, as well as activities, services and locally-sold products are on that list. It’s expected over 25,000 Neighborhood Cards will

THE EVOLUTION OF ONLINE EDUCATION

BY J E S S I C A S T E P H E N S O N U N I V E R S I T Y D E V E LO P M E N T C O U N S E LO R

O

nline education has created possibilities that previous generations couldn’t even fathom. Students can earn their entire degree online by working when it’s convenient for them, without ever having to set foot in a classroom. This amazing innovation has allowed for greater access to universities and targeted specializations that may not be available locally. It has also been especially beneficial for working adults or stay-at-home parents who are eager to earn a degree.

Early Online Courses So, how did online education programs get started? The history of online education extends back further than you may think, with the first virtual classroom environments being created in the 1960s. University of Illinois scientists created a classroom system based in linked computer terminals. There, students were able to access informational resources while listening to a professor whose lectures were brought in remotely, via some form of television or audio device. While this is certainly not a form of “online learning” that stands up to the Web learning of today, it was the beginning of enhanced distance learning and the utilization of computer resources for educational purposes.

Other universities quickly began to take advantage of these new resources by offering distance learning courses, using computer networking for information and resource sharing, and more. By the mid-1980s, college resources frequently included online access to course information and student networking tools.

Online-only courses began emerging in the late 1980s, with some moderate success. The concept was further popularized as major corporations began using similar utilities to trim their training budgets. While businesses began with software training programs, the largest corporations started utilizing online tools to minimize software distribution costs.

Correspondence Schools Another phenomenon that contributed to online learning was the correspondence school. The original correspondence schools worked in a very straightforward way: You registered by mail, received materials by mail and then mailed the coursework back for grading upon completion. As the digital age swept across the nation, the correspondence school became more grounded in the virtual world; the first online correspondence school, University of Phoenix, made its way onto the scene in 1989. It was not a fully

May 2017 | Page 9

accredited institution at that time, however, and it wasn’t until 1993 that the first accredited university, Jones International University, opened the floodgates for online degree completion.

Modern Online Degrees Many institutions, such as Grand Canyon University (GCU), now offer full degrees and accelerated degree programs online. But what do you need to look for when researching an online degree program? While many factors can and should be considered, the type of program, accreditation of the university, cost and support resources are among the top factors in deciding which program is the best fit for you.

Online programs are offered in a variety of styles. Many programs, such as those offered at the bachelor’s and master’s level at GCU are purely online — requiring no face-to-face meetings in instruction. Other programs may offer a blended learning environment, which is a combination of online and face-to-face instruction.

For programs purely online, they are further differentiated by synchronous versus asynchronous learning.

Synchronous online learning methods typically involve videoconference and instant messaging so that students can engage in learning in real-time.

In this environment, students are required to log in at specific times to participate in lectures or course assignments. On the other hand, asynchronous learning methods are considered to be more student-centered.

Asynchronous learning can be completed at your own pace by using the online learning resources to facilitate information sharing outside of the constraints of time and place.

The Importance of Accreditation The accreditation of an online program is another important factor to consider when choosing your online

Page 10 | The Newsletter

program. Recognized accreditation – verification by an outside, legitimate authority that a college or university provides an education that meets certain standards – is an extremely important consideration as many colleges and universities won’t accept transfer credits from schools without recognized accreditation and employers often won’t pay for their employees to attend them.

To see whether or not an institution’s accreditation is legitimate, potential students should check to see if it’s recognized by the U.S. Department of Education (www.ed.gov). The federal government recognizes seven regional accreditors, which evaluate schools in various parts of the country.

Cost and Support Services In general, online education tends to be a cost-effective choice for adult learners. Students may be able to save a significant amount of money by not having to physically attend classes.

Online courses may help individuals cut down or eliminate costs associated with transportation, babysitting and other expenses incurred by attending classes in a traditional setting.

Further, some Web-based programs, such as those offered at GCU, may not require physical textbooks, as reading materials may be available either through the school’s own library or their partnerships with e-libraries and other digital publishers. E-textbooks might offer substantial savings for students, adding up to hundreds of dollars a year.

Finally, support resources are just as important, if not more so, for online students as they are for traditional students. At GCU, we offer designated representatives in local areas to support students through the enrollment and education process. Additionally, we offer a designated representative on our main campus in Phoenix who assists online students with financial aid processing and course registra-

tion. Outside of institutional support personnel, we offer free tutoring, full-time tech support and other educational resources to help assure that students are successful within their programs.

Online Programs at GCU From hospitality to healthcare, Grand Canyon University is adding in-demand programs to its more than 150 online academic programs currently offered. Here are just a few of our offerings: • Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management: Prepares future hotel and lodging managers, food service or resort managers for dayto-day operations including event planning, facilities management and human resources in the hospitality industry.

• Bachelor of Science in Business Information Systems: Gain a competitive edge in the workforce with a unique blend of technology, leadership and business skills you can use to help your organization grow.

• Master of Science in Organizational Leadership and Entrepreneurship: Through an in-depth analysis of consumer behavior, market segments and marketing channels, explore strategic market planning and operational systems that drive business innovation.

As a member of the Greater LatrobeLaurel Valley Regional Chamber of

Commerce, you can access each of these programs and many more with a 10% scholarship off tuition.

NOT YOUR GRANDFATHER’S SHOOTING RANGE

T

he A&S Indoor Pistol Range, Firearms & Accessory Store in Youngwood is not your grandfather’s shooting range.

Owned by Todd Edmiston of Latrobe, the business does offer a great range, and a good selection of firearms and accessories. While customers come to sharpen their shooting skills or search for a firearm they’ve been looking for, there is also a new phenomenon gaining popularity: shooting parties, fun shoot leagues and action shoots.

driven by fear. That fear went a lot longer that we thought it would. We had growth and we continue to grow.

It’s calmed down quite a bit because with the new administration in Washington. The previous administration talked a lot about the Second Amendment and made people nervous.”

A&S offers traditional services customers could expect, including classes for basic pistol shooting, an NRA personal protection in the home class and

a concealed carry class and private instruction for shooters from basic to advanced.“ The last few years we really have had people coming in just wanting to learn how to shoot,” Edmiston said. “And that’s always been a guy activity, but more and more females are getting involved. And it’s not necessarily for self-protection, it’s just something they want to try.”

Business has been good at A&S and Edmiston, who has been an active member in the Greater Latrobe-Laurel Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce and has served on the board of directors, said an uptick in business is due to a variety of reasons.

GLLV chamber board chairman, Don Orlando, recognized the success A&S has had and the long contributions to the chamber he and his family have made.“ Even though Todd Edmiston’s business, A&S Pistol Range, is located in Youngwood, he has been an active and valued member of the GLLV Regional Chamber of Commerce for a long time, as were his parents before him, and of course his brother, Brian, is a member of our board,” said Orlando, the Director of Public Relations at Saint Vincent College. “I am proud of the success he has had with his interesting business and wish him well with his future plans for development to accommodate the growth the business has experienced.”

“It’s been good because of fear,” he admitted. “These are interesting times we’re living in. It really started with the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School (Newtown, Conn.) There was panic buying and the industry was

Edmiston has come to recognize the value of his membership in the GLLV chamber. “I’ve always believed you get out of it what you put into it,” he said. “You meet people you might never meet. It’s all about the contacts.”

“We’re doing birthday parties, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties,” Edmiston said. “A lot of our customers aren’t necessarily hunters. We’re seeing women coming in with their boyfriend, husband or a girlfriend because they’re learning that this can be a fun activity. And it can be competitive, too.”

CITIZENS FIBER EXPLORING EXPANSION IN LATROBE & GREENSBURG AREA

C

itizens Fiber, a small rural company created to connect folks off the beaten path by telephone in the early 1900s, is in the process of doing something unique again more than 100 years later. What was once a telephone company began adding cable television and dial-up internet service in the 1990s and took a major step into the future when it changed 2,500 cable modem customers to fiber-optic cable in 2015. The accompanying name change to Citizens Fiber showed the importance the family-owned business located in Mammoth believes fiber optics to be.

vide them services like they can get in Pittsburgh.”Citizens is the first provider in this area to have Gigabit Internet. Simply explained, Gigabit Internet gives users speeds up to 100 times what they’re used to. Download and upload speeds of up to 1,000 megabites per second can be expected.

While the temptation might be to go full out with its expansion plans, there will be no shooting from the hip in this instance. “Because fiber optic is so expensive, we have to be more calculated with what we do,” Arnie Cutrell, the general manager of Citizens, said. “Instead of guessing like we have in the past, we’re letting customer demand drive where we go.” And how will demand be determined? With modern technology, of course.

Your protection is personal.

“Fiber optic internet is a big advantage for us and we’re looking to expand out into areas like Latrobe and Greensburg,” said Operations Get Man- a quote today from: ager Zach Cutrell. “Our customer “We launched this initiative in January base is rural, but people have choices 2016 where we can plot addresses Brian EofPanichelle and we have the technology toB. proon Google Inc. Maps and see where interP. Insurance

est is,” Zach Cutrell said. “Once we get enough interest, we’ll come out, survey the area, cost out the area. If we determine it would cost $100,000 to build an area, we’d probably need 30 people to sign up.”

Citizens Fiber realizes it will be going up against Comcast in both Latrobe and Greensburg as it pushes for customers. “We’re not afraid of competition. If we had been, we wouldn’t have run lines or offered cable TV,” Zach Cutrell said. “There’s a lot of movement in the country to go on the laptop and watch TV. We want to be the provider that gives consumers options.”

The numbers are getting very close to being where they need to be for Citizen Fiber to move. “We’re excited because we are getting close,” Zach Cutrell said. “This is not a pipe dream, it’s close.”
