Today is the start of my favorite time of the year: Fish Fry Season. I stopped by West Wilmerding VFD for an excellent fish sandwich with Rep. Markosek. Be sure you get out there over the next few weeks to support our fire departments, churches, and other community organizations.

Baldwin High School is the only one in Allegheny County that offers classes in ASL. I recently dropped by Ms. Graney's ASL II class to see the students in action. They taught me a few signs and I learned just how important this program has become to Baldwin High School.
