A Piece of History ReestablishedThe historical marker about Conrad that used to be on Penn Avenue will be rededicated in the October 17 ceremony at Community Life. (See page 4 for more details.)
“Frank Conrad: His Life and Legacy,” a slide presentation by the Wilkinsburg Historical Society, will honor one of Wilkinsburg’s most famous citizens.
Conrad was born May 4, 1874, in Pittsburgh’s East End and spent his early years attending Sterrett School. He left school during seventh grade to become a bench-hand at Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. Despite his limited formal education, Conrad’s brilliant mind, mechanical aptitude and creative ability enabled him to launch an amazing career with Westinghouse. Although he is best known for pioneer radio broadcasts from his Wilkinsburg garage, he was also a prolific inventor, earning his first patent at the age of twenty-three. Conrad amassed over 200 patents relating to automobile carburetors and ignitions, vacuum tubes, wireless receiving sets, short-wave antennas, electric clocks, refrigerator and air conditioning systems.

I think that I shall never seeA poem lovely as a tree.
Joyce Kilmer wrote those words in 1913, long before people recognized the value of an urban tree canopy. Today, we know that trees provide shade and act as windbreaks, decreasing energy consumption.
They purify the air by cleansing pollutants, producing oxygen, and absorbing carbon dioxide. Trees improve our quality of life through a multitude of psychological and social benefits. Healthy trees increase property values.
In a recent National Geographic article, Pittsburgh is included as one of the “Nine Cities that Love their Trees,” with 42% tree cover. Pittsburgh’s urban forest, expanded with the planting of 20,000 trees in recent years, removes 532 tons of air pollution every year, meaning we can all breathe a little easier!
The Borough administrative offices receive frequent requests for tree maintenance and removal. While the Borough is responsible for maintaining trees on Borough property, such as in the parks, trees on private property are the responsibility of the property owner.
This includes trees planted between the sidewalk and curb, per the Borough ordinance that provides “the cost of planting, transplanting, or removing any shade trees in and along the streets and highways in the borough shall be paid for by the owner of the real estate abutting the area where the work is done.”
The Borough’s Department of Public Works will prune or remove trees that pose an immediate danger to public safety, while Duquesne Light Company handles trees that are interfering with power lines.
Any disputes between property owners are handled between the owners —the Borough will not intervene—and if the owners cannot resolve the issue privately, a complaint can be filed by either party with Magisterial District Judge Kim Hoots.
Would you like to do more to help the trees that help Wilkinsburg? See the websites for TreePittsburgh (www.treepittsburgh.org); TreeVitalize (www.treevitalize.net) or take the training to become a “Tree Tender,” where you’ll learn everything from tree biology, to proper planting and pruning (www.waterandlife.org/219/become-a-tree-tender).
Community Clean-Up Encourages Residents to Participate, Use Dumpsters

• DPW garage at 1230 Park Avenue
If you are unable to get to any of these locations on October 18, please contact DPW at 412.244.2934 and staff will come to you!

In 1916, Frank Conrad, an electrical engineer and radio broadcasting pioneer, initiated one of the world’s first radio broadcasts from his Wilkinsburg garage. Through his early radio work, Conrad became responsible for founding KDKA, the first licensed broadcast station in the world. In addition to his radio broadcasting, Conrad worked as the Assistant Chief Engineer for the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pittsburgh. Conrad received the prestigious Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Edison Medal in 1930 and was awarded more than 200 patents throughout his life. He died in 1941 at the age of 67.
On Friday, October 17, the WCDC will honor the life and achievements of Frank Conrad by dedicating a Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission marker at the corner of South Trenton Avenue and Penn Avenue—adjacent to the former location of Conrad’s garage. The dedication will also celebrate the 95th anniversary of Conrad’s first broadcast out of his Wilkinsburg garage.
David Conrad, an actor and Conrad’s great-grandson, will assist with the dedication ceremony. An Edgewood native, David Conrad has appeared in several films and television series, but is best known for his starring role in the Ghost Whisperer.
All are welcome to attend the dedication ceremony and celebration, which begins at 2 p.m., at Community LIFE, 301 Meade St., in Wilkinsburg. For questions or additional information, please call the WCDC office at 412.727.7855.

Professional BackgroundDaniel J. Matsook is a skilled
educational leader with 38 years of experience in public education. His experience ranges from large, diverse, urban settings to small, affluent districts.
Matsook spearheaded the team that achieved the state’s first voluntary school district merger ever. He later served as the first Superintendent of the resulting Central Valley School District. This merger has been acclaimed throughout the state as a model for school collaboration.
His leadership strategy involves data-driven decision making, effective collaboration and teaming, and timely progress monitoring.
He began his educational career as an English Teacher in the Freedom Area School District. Since then he has served as a librarian, football coach, assistant superintendent, and superintendent. He has also served as an adjunct professor, teaching courses in education administration and organizational leadership.
New energy, technology and policies have marked the start of the 2014-15 school year. A concerted effort has been placed on empowering teachers to align instructional practices with PA-eligible content. This alignment is first step in achieving the primary goal of improving student achievement in the Wilkinsburg School District.
Greetings!The 2014-2015 school year is
underway. The buildings have been prepped, our staff is rejuvenated, our students have arrived, and expectations have been raised. As the newly appointed superintendent, I am excited about the opportunity to work with our staff and students throughout the new school year.
On opening day with our staff, I began an open and honest conversation regarding the current status of the Wilkinsburg School District and its immediate and long-term future. We reviewed the exciting new developments for our staff and students. Each teacher received a new laptop and an instructional binder to begin the school year on the right foot.
Our new binders will empower our staff to align their instructional practices with the Pennsylvania eligible content as it is reflected on the state assessments. The new laptops will enable them to gather student achievement data and access educational resources provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Education website. Aligning these efforts is the first step in our efforts to improve student achievement.
The Board of Education has also invested time into getting our house in order on the operational front.
Revised policies and procedures, a new commitment to enforcing and implementing current policies, and establishing effective protocols have solidified the foundation to support an effective and efficient organization. Seeing the Wilkinsburg School District through a new lens is a priority, as well.
The District is committed to improving its efforts to communicate “good news” about our students, staff, and programs via our website and local media outlets.
In closing, I would be remiss if I do not address the reality of dwindling educational funding that impacts many school districts across the state, including the Wilkinsburg School District. While our School Board has taken steps to manage our educational needs with limited funding, the fact remains that short- and long-range planning is vital by our leaders to ensure a viable educational experience for our children.
Moving forward, we are excited about improving how we deliver education within our District, and hope to pursue opportunities that serve the best interests of our students and community as a whole.Sincerely,Daniel J. MatsookWilkinsburg Acting Superintendent
