Technically Speaking

2009 has definitely been the year of technology for the Venango Area Chamber

of Commerce, beginning with the new website launch in March, a new email

service in April and our venture into the world of social media. While many of

our members have embraced these new tools for doing business, others remain

skeptical as to the real benefits of the “online” world. I think it is important to

note that here at the chamber we still believe that nothing replaces the value of

face to face interaction with chamber and community members. That's why

you've continued to see the same tried and true publications and events from

the past. We will continue to make the newsletter available in hard copy and

invite members to attend mixers, lunches and other member gatherings.

Why such an investment in technology? Because this continues to be a terrific way to engage many of our

members, expand our network and increase our efficiency. And most importantly we are passing everything we

learn onto our members. In 2010 we will continue to enhance our website, with the addition of e commerce

and feature to further promote our members. The Brown Bag lunch series will continue with the broader theme

of technology. The first one of the year, Wednesday, January 20th will be a presentation about the new

Windows 7. Through the Microsoft® Community Connections program, our technology partner CS Technolo-

gies Plus will present a 45-60 minute program how Windows 7 can help leaders and organizations enhance their

business relationships. Depending on the level of interest, additional sessions may be added in the morning

and afternoon. So mark your calendar and watch for more information in the January Business Connector.

American Cancer Society Helps Businesses save Money, save Lives

Studies show that more than 70 percent of adult smokers say they want to quit, but without help, fewer than

five percent succeed. Tabacco use is also the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in

the United States. You can help your employees beat the odds by creating a work environment that will

encourage them to quit for goof.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s estimates, the annual cost of tobacco use to an

employer averages $3,783 per smoker per year. Your company can reduce costs and increase productivity by

encouraging employees to quit tobacco with the American Cancer Society’s 2009 Tobacco-Free Workplace

Toolkit. To support your efforts in the workplace, this toolkit can be used as part of a year-long health

promotion or wellness program. These resources can also be used to promote the Great American Smokeout®

on the third Thursday in November.

The kit includes tips on how to address your workplace about going tobacco-free; sample policies; fun,

team-building activities like Adopt a Smoker; information on American Cancer Society programs and services

such as FreshStart® and Quitline®; and quit smoking promotional tools such as desktop helpers and sample

newsletter articles.

For more information on the American Cancer Society Smoke-Free Workplace Toolkit, call your local office at

800.227.2345 and ask to speak to a member of the corporate relations staff. To see the Society’s other wellness

products, visit www.acsworkplacesolutions.com

Scentsy: The

Hottest New Thing

in Candles Comes to Venango County

Scentsy is the wickless and flameless candle company. Each

year thousands of homes are damaged or destroyed by flame

candles and with no flame, soot, smoke or lead to worry

about, the Scentsy system is a safe way to enjoy more than

80 delightful Scentsy fragrances.

The Scentsy System is a decorative ceramic warmer that uses a low-watt light bulb to enjoy scented candles

without the danger of a flame. The Scentsy Candle Warmer is safe, easy to use, fits into any décor and permeates

any room with wonderful fragrances.

The warmer uses a 25-watt light bulb to melt soft, highly scented wax bars slowly and safely to maximize fragrance

time. Scentsy Bars in Scentsy warmers melt at 125 degrees Fahrenheit – the temperature of a typical paraffin

cosmetic dip. The wax will not burn children or pets.

Scentsy products make affordable, unique gifts for employees, colleagues and friends for any occasion that will be

enjoyed for seasons to come. The Scentsy system is only available from your local Independent Scentsy

Consultant; Summer Meagher of Seneca. View the complete interactive catalog at https://

summersscents.scentsy.us or call her at 814-319-3999. Summer and the Scentsy system make perfect scents!

For the second time in its sixty-year history of educating

lumber inspectors throughout the world, the National

Hardwood Lumber Association (NHLA), headquartered in

Memphis, Tennessee, offered the NHLA Lumber Inspection

Training School off-site.

In cooperation with Clarion University–Venango Campus,

Keystone Community Education Council (KCEC), and

Venango Technology Center the NHLA offered the Lumber

Inspection Training School at the Venango Technology

Center in Oil City from June 8 through August 14.

Clarion University is the only university in the country to

offer college credit for the NHLA program, awarding credits

toward an associate degree through the university’s

Department of Applied Technology. Students who wish to

earn Clarion University’s Associate of Applied Science in

Industrial Technology degree will be able to transfer as many

as 22 credits toward the 60 credits required for the associate

degree by successfully completing the NHLA Lumber

Inspection Training School curriculum. The balance of the

coursework consists of general education and business

courses that can be completed at the Venango Campus

and/or online.

The National Hardwood Lumber Association is a nonprofit association composed of more than 1,600 member

firms that produce, sell, and use hardwood lumber or provide services to the hardwood industry. The association

was founded in 1898 to establish a uniform system of grading rules for the measurement and inspection of

hardwood lumber and still serves as the administrator of those standards.

The high value of hardwood lumber dictates that boards are graded each time that they are bought or sold

within the hardwood industry on the way from the sawmill to their final use in furniture, flooring, or paneling.

Hardwood lumber inspectors are responsible for determining the species, grade, and volume of each piece of

lumber, and are employed by sawmills, dry kiln operators, wholesale lumber distributors, manufacturing plants,

exporters, importers, and other types of firms that utilize hardwood lumber.

In 1948, NHLA established its training school in Memphis to teach these rules and the application of the grading

system to help meet an increasing demand for skilled lumber inspectors throughout the world. To this day, the

NLHA Lumber Inspection Training School in Memphis is the only school of its kind in the world and has attracted

students from Canada, Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia, as well as the United States. More than 6,700

students have graduated from the Inspection Program, many of whom are now in management or ownership

positions in the industry and are sending their children or employees to complete the course.

“This is a tremendous opportunity for those interested in a career in hardwood lumber inspection,” said Dr.

Christopher Reber, executive dean of the Venango Campus. “Since more than 100 of the 1,600 world-wide

members of NHLA are located in the region served by Clarion University–Venango Campus, offering a program

that prepares hardwood lumber inspectors to move into management and ownership positions supports the

campus’ mission to contribute to the area’s workforce development.”

In this position, Ms. Hindman will be responsible for maintaining existing customer relationships while also

Giuseppe Barone radiates passion and pride when he

speaks about his business Primo Barone's, his very

successful restaurant located in Franklin. Known for it's

Italian/American cuisine, Primo's has something for

everyone whether you're looking for a casual family

dining spot or just the right place to celebrate a special

occasion. Perfect for an intimate dinner for two or for a

party of 100 or more, Primo's and its staff of 32 are ready

to accommodate you.

Giuseppe first came to the Venango Area in 1984,

opening the Depot Restaurant. Years later and after a

brief move to Florida, the Ohio native returned to open

Primo Barone's at the Venango Regional Airport in March 1994. The entire Barone family has played a role in the

success of the business, with Giusseppe's wife Lydia and his son Giuseppe Jr., a college student at

Edinboro, currently working at the restaurant. Daughter Angela, now living in Columbus has also worked at

Primo's.

Regular guests enjoy the dependability of consistent hours seven days a week, with Primo's opening at 11 am

each day, until 10pm every night except Sunday, when it closes at 9pm. An extensive but affordable menu is

complimented by full bar, including wines and 8 beers on tap.

The comfortable but tasteful décor makes for a relaxing evening with friends. Local musicians provide easy

kistening and light jazz piano music on the weekends. Sports fans will enjoy the 4 plasma televisions that flank

the bar. Giuseppe points to his photo wall of famous guests that have stopped in over the years. The likes of Joe

Namath and Dave Wannstedt have chosen Primo Barone's as a destination location to hold business meetings.

Well known celebrities Tim Allen, Stevie Nicks and Sharon Stone stop by when visiting friends and family in the

area.

While Giuseppe has enjoyed being conveniently located beside the airport, he suggests that the majority of his

patrons are not travelers, but rather Venango area residents that have continued to support local business.

When asked about the secret of his success, Giuseppe insists that he loves getting up every morning to see what

the day will hold. He cares greatly about his customers and is dedicated to serve them the best possible meal

with outstanding customer service.

If you are looking for a great place to hold your holiday lunch or party, there is still time to make your

reservation. New Years and Valentines Day are also fast approaching. Just this year Primo Barone's introduced a

new Gift Card, the perfect present for coworkers, friends or family members and they also accept the Venango

Area Chamber Gift Card. Be sure to include Primo Barone's in your plans for your next special occasion. Check

out Primo Barone's menu in his directory listing on www.venangochamber.org.
