New dog athletic center owners plan restaurant
By Chris Ulicne
Bulletin Staff Writer
Bob and Darlene Schmucker, owners of ArcMaster Enterprises and the dog
athletic center currently being constructed at 500 Avenue B, Latrobe,
on Monday explained to Latrobe City Council that they have expanded
their plans for the building to include a full-blown restaurant where
they hope to serve alcoholic beverages.
The Schmuckers originally planned to include a small food court, but
said there have been numerous requests that they expand the facility
with a restaurant offering a full dining experience, and so they also
are seeking the inter-municipal transfer of a Donegal Township liquor
license for the B&D Creekside Activity Center.

LVSD sets final day of instruction, limits public comment session
By Josh Turnbull
Bulletin Staff Writer
Ligonier Valley School Board voted Monday night to set the final day
of school in respect to an unheard-of 10 snow days from the calamitous
February weather and to finalize limitations on audience participation
at future board meetings.
The school board weighed three proposals for correcting the schedule
to include 180 days of instruction, opting for what was referred to as
“option B,” choosing to use numerous Act 80 days to make up for lost
time. The option changes the last day of instruction from June 2 to
June 4, adding two Act 80 days in August and one in each February,
April and May.

Latrobe-SVC committee ready to take next step on biking/walking trail
By Chris Ulicne
Bulletin Staff Writer
The feasibility study committee for the proposed biking/walking path
from St. Vincent College to downtown Latrobe met Monday for an update
on the status of the project.
Pashek Associates President Jim Pashek described the intended path for
the trail, from the Lloyd Avenue bridge and running parallel to Route
981 all the way to the new roundabout and entryway to SVC. He also
highlighted several areas where the project will face some
"challenges," mostly because of right-of-way restrictions near
railroad tracks or safety issues at particularly busy or dangerous
intersections like that of Unity Street and North Avenue.
