Peters Township High School art honors volunteers embellished the Outpatient Care Center’s windows with holiday scenes Thursday.
Twenty-three Peters Township High School art honors students toted their skills and paintbrushes to the Outpatient Care Center Thursday for a fun field trip. Holiday spirit filled the air, as did Christmas music playing simultaneously from iPod to iPod. Two weeks ago, Acacia Svonavec, community marketing manager at Canonsburg General Hospital, approached the classrooms about the idea. “Each year, where I grew up (in Confluence, Pa.) we had a fall festival and 10 to 15 local businesses would paint holiday themes on the windows,” Svonavec said. “It was such a nice idea for the season. It’s a situation where everybody wins.” High school art teachers Marguerite Kazalas and Kristin DeGiovanni surveyed the activity as students adorned the clear …

Low pool pH levels can lead to tooth enamel erosion.
Frequent swimmers are likely all too familiar with some of the adverse effects that come as a result from spending too much time in the pool. The dry skin, discolored hair and distinct chlorine smell are obvious giveaways that someone spent their day in the pool. Dentists from the New York University College of Dentistry have added one more feature to that list: eroded tooth enamel. In a recent study, the dentists analyzed the case of a 52-year-old man who had complained about sensitive teeth, dark tooth staining and enamel loss that set on quickly and lasted for only a few months. The only explanation the dentists could determine was the man’s newly adopted 90-minute daily swimming routine. “Tooth enamel erosion can occur in swimming …

Fourth of July a cause for concern for parents of underage kids.
Holiday weekends like the Fourth of July are often cause for cookouts and celebrations with family and friends. But that could spell trouble for underage kids, especially boys.
