Hempfield Township eyes fall opening for first phase of new municipal complex
After almost a year of work, phase one of the new 43-acre municipal complex in Hempfield Township is eyeing a fall opening for the public. Township leaders say that this municipal campus, which sits just off Route 30 and Mount Pleasant Road, will be the first of its kind for the area. Hempfield Township Manager Aaron Siko says that the work on phase one includes all the infrastructure of this area. Things like building water and sewer lines for restrooms, electrical work, and road construction. But he says, the phase one construction also includes a lot of the fun stuff, too. "A pavilion for rental, a yoga deck area, a cardio fitness area, a passive and active recreation area, including a nature-inspired playground, a splash pad that is for all ages, that's all encompassing," Siko said. The total cost of this project is over $15 million, and it is being paid for not through tax increases, but through bond measures. Plus, the township has received $3 million in grant money and private support. Phase one is set to be finished in September. Phase two, which includes a synthetic turf field, a natural grass soccer field, pickleball courts, and additional parking, is set to break ground next spring. The township hasn't set any official dates for the later phases. Those will include the construction of a new Hempfield community center, a public safety building that will house the Hempfield Fire Department, as well as a new public works building. Hempfield Township Supervisor Doug Weimer says that this is going to be a huge draw for the township and for local businesses once it is completed. "I think that the community has been very excited to see the progress," said Weimer. "With the fact that everyone travels by this property, there has been a lot of excitement and buzz in the community, and people just can't wait to get here." Once phase one is completed, the township says they are going to have a big celebration to open this place up.

UNESCO's Man And Biosphere World Changing Program, That Needs More Awareness
The UNESCO Man and the Biosphere (MAB) Program is a remarkable initiative carried out by resourceful, dedicated communities around the world who develop multi-pronged, sustainable ecosystems with economic, quality of life, and environmental benefits. Each biosphere reserve functions as a 'living laboratory' for sustainable development with hundreds of local initiatives ranging from biodiversity conservation, to regenerative agriculture, and green tourism. Though MAB has been in existence since 1971, and today there are 759 UNESCO biosphere reserves across 136 countries, including 28 in the U.S., and more than 250 million people live in biosphere reserves globally, the program has limited awareness in much of the world. Increased resources to communicate what the program is all about and the value it provides, could have a tremendous impact on further growth. In late March I attended the U.K.'s UNESCO Man and Biosphere summit in Brighton and Hove in Sussex England (south of London) that brought together the country's 7 biospheres, including The Living Coast (Brighton and Hove), Wester Ross, Galloway and Southern Ayrshire, the Dyfi Valley, the Isle of White, Isle of Man, and North Devon. Representatives from each UK biosphere met to share their progress and learnings, and better understand the successes in Brighton and Hove including: Mauro Colagreco, the remarkable chef who has done as much as any chef in the world to promote biodiversity and sustainability, is using his perch as a world renown chef to help UNESCO increase awareness for MAB. In 2022 Mauro was designated UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Biodiversity, the first chef named to this role. Mauro's restaurant, Mirazur, in Menton, France was chosen '#1 In The World' in 2019. Aside from serving only biodynamic food supplied from the restaurant's 5 biodynamic gardens and carefully chosen local suppliers, Mirazur's kitchen is the first and only Michelin 3-star restaurant that's both 100% plastic free, and also a B-Corp. He shares his pioneering work on biodynamics and the total elimination of plastic in kitchens with other chefs, as Vice President of Chefs for the global Relais & Chateaux Association, and also at his other 26 restaurants on 4 continents. At the extraordinary Goldstone Primary School in Hove, its principal and educators work throughout the district to integrate sustainability into all aspects of the curriculum. The school was blessed with a large plot of land, and that day, one of the first warm, sunny days of Spring, all the kids were outside learning from nature. A 4th grade class was studying British history during World War II by planting and harvesting a victory garden. Mauro visited the elementary school and spoke with 4th graders who asked extremely thoughtful questions about the importance and impact of sustainability on his restaurants, on local communities, and on the planet. During the week before the UNESCO UK MAB summit, the Mauro Colagreco Michelin-Star Restaurant at London's historic, 5-star Raffles at The OWO Hotel, offered an extraordinary meal that honored the 7 UK biospheres. Dishes inspired by each region featured produce, fish, meat, poultry, and dairy products from those biospheres, beautifully presented, like ceviche with seafood from North Devon served inside a hollowed-out kohlrabi, and a beautiful, honey-based dessert with ingredients from the Isle of Man. The OWO Hotel, opened in 2023, is an extraordinary restoration of the Old War Office (OWO) for the U.K.'s Department of Defense, where Winston Churchihill ran England's WWII operations. I had not previously known of the important work of the UNESCO MAB initiatives around the world, and when I described my extraordinary experience to people on both sides of the Atlantic, I didn't find anyone else who was familiar the Biosphere Reserves. I researched UNESCO MAB and learned that the U.S. had 28 biospheres, but the last one that joined the program was 35 years ago, in 1990. Having worked at Disney in the licensing division and managed Disney toy line licenses for Mattel globally, I noticed some parallels with UNESCO. In the corporate world, licensors create the name, standards, overall awareness, and brand image that all products and programs under its umbrella must live up to. Licensees market their own executions of the brand, and play a major role in creating awareness for their specific initiatives. While UNESCO is not a commercial brand, its Man and the Biosphere (MAB) program provides a unifying identity, framework, and international recognition for the over 700 biosphere reserves worldwide. It facilitates cooperation, and each reserve brings the concept to life in ways that reflect its unique ecological, social, and economic context. Given the program's tremendous economic and quality of life benefits to communities and the environment globally, and given the importance of the UN 17 Sustainability Goals that have been adopted by governments and organizations around the world, greater awareness of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere program would be additive and a virtuous cycle. It would help each biosphere with 'place marketing' (promoting locations to attract tourism, investment and business growth), showcasing each as a great place: - For people to live - For businesses to locate and find talent - For university students to study - For tourists and eco-tourists to visit - For products to proudly display they are from Individual UNESCO Biospheres often operate on tight limited budgets, with local partners' and regional funding. The small core teams who operate them are usually experts in biodiversity and community engagement, but not marketing. Given the seemingly low global awareness of the UNESCO Man and Biosphere programs, it's important that more dollars be spent at the global level to increase awareness, knowledge of, and the value of the program to encourage other communities to join. UNESCO, is currently setting up national and international partnerships with businesses and organizations interested in supporting these local sustainability labs that bring so many health and wellbeing and economic benefits to their residents. The positive flywheel of support and guidance will help grow the movement: - Increasing the likelihood new communities will want to qualify - Increasing the value to participant communities, as more people will want to visit, students will want to study, and businesses will want to locate there because of the MAB designation - Businesses can claim their products are from their biosphere, benefiting from associations with health and sustainability. On-package biosphere designations can also help grow biosphere awareness around the world, wherever the products are sold, even hundreds of miles away. I found this wonderful Cheddar with the Isle of Man MAB designation in New York City food shop.

Portland parks to enforce stricter policy, fees for dog owners with off-leash pets
PORTLAND, Ore. () — The City of Portland has implemented stricter regulations and new fees for residents with off-leash dogs. that a new policy allows officials to immediately hit dog owners with a fine if they fail to put a leash on their pet in areas where leashes are required. The previous policy, established in 2013, directed park rangers to first issue citations for this offense — but officials said the initial warning has made the regulations 'difficult to enforce.' Oregon chef, bakery take home trophies from esteemed James Beard Awards 'Dog off-leash issues are a top concern for many community members all across the city,' PP&R said. 'These policy changes will help keep our parks safe and clean for all park visitors, and make sure they are welcoming for everyone.' Leashed dogs are permitted in most of Portland's public spaces, with the exception of sites including Tanner Springs Park, Mt. Tabor Park amphitheater and sports facilities with artificial and manicured turfs. Officials are more focused on cracking down on dog owners who allow pets to wander freely without a leash in undesignated areas, when there are more than 30 throughout the city. This includes portions of Irving Park, Alberta Park and Cathedral Park. But park rangers won't fine offenders straight away. Gov. Kotek signs POWER Act to shield Oregonians from Big Tech utility bills Staff is now 'piloting the new policy at parks with significant dog off-leash issues,' by informing residents of the changes before penalizing them, PP&R said. The bureau added that rangers could still choose to issue a citation as a first-time warning. Workers can also provide free leashes or poop bag holders to help with the new policy. The potential fine for off-leash dogs and failing to pick up poop ranges from $50 to $150, according to city code. Officials additionally ask pet owners not to bring their dogs to parks if they are 'in heat' or not fully vaccinated. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
