South Park Playground will be closed beginning Monday morning, May 18th, as we begin construction on a very special new feature that will enhance the area and honor two very special dedicated individuals who spent many years helping keep our playgrounds safe, beautiful, and well cared for in our community.

Joseph Aloysius Cirko
Joseph Aloysius Cirko, loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather
Emporium- Joseph Aloysius Cirko passed away on Tuesday, April 28, 2026, at UPMC Mercy in Pittsburgh, after a short illness.
Joe was born at home in Warrior Run, PA, on September 12, 1941, the son of the late Michael and Anna Carey Cirko. On May 29, 1999, in the First Baptist Church in Emporium, he married his loving wife, the former Dawn S. Hickey, who survives.
Attending school only through the 8th grade, Joe didn’t have the privilege of graduating due to responsibilities that needed to be taken on at an early age. A truck driver for over 60 years, Joe knew the roads and highways across the states. He loved the freedom of the road and the scenic views on his travels. Joe also loved the outdoors, especially fishing with his loving wife, Dawn. He and Dawn shared a loving devotion to their pets.
Joe is survived by and lovingly remembered by his loving wife, Dawn; his daughter, Cindy (Dennis) Peterson of NY, and his son, Joseph D. Cirko of PA; his grandchildren, Brandi Ferris and Nicholas (Alexa) Peterson, both of NY, Carlee Crain and Kori Noel Cirko, both of PA; his great-grandchildren, Kaeden Peterson and Jaxon Peterson, both of NY; and a brother, Alan W. Cirko of PA.
He was predeceased by his parents, Michael and Anna, two sisters, and three brothers.
Per Joe’s wishes, no services are planned.
Memorials, if desired, may be made to Cameron County SPCA, 678 South Mountain Rd., Emporium, PA 15834

Cameron County Conservation District Update
Cameron County Conservation District
Last Friday May 8th the 3rd grade students from Woodland Elementary School released their raised fingerling trout into the Cowley Run stream.
The Trout in the Classroom program is made possible by a partnership between the PA Fish and Boat Commission and the PA Council of Trout Unlimited.
Students spent the school year learning about cold water education with the Cameron County Conservation District while raising their trout from egg to fingerling.
After releasing their fingerlings, the students spent the day learning about: The Different Hardwoods in PA, Macros, Animals found in Sizerville, Beaver, and Animal Survival all on a rotation schedule. Presenting on the day were: Nancy McCloskey from Allegheny Hardwoods Utilization Group, Taylor Gillette from Cameron County Outdoor Activities, Alyson Rotello from Sizerville State Park, Natalie Aiello from PSU Extension, and Jon Marc Burdick from the Cameron County Conservation District. The students also had a question and answer session with PA Game Commission's Officer Caleb Reider, a former student at Cameron County School District who also experienced the Trout in the Classroom program.
