A century-old, cast iron statue of the Virgin Mary that once provided inspiration to Roman Catholic worshipers at Immaculate Conception Church now stands as the artistic and spiritual centerpiece of the newly christened Piazza Maria, just a few blocks away from her former home in Johnstown’s Cambria City neighborhood.
It was installed two weeks ago by Stella Property Development & Event Production, a company owned by Steven Biter and Chad Pysher, who are working to repurpose elements of the community’s ethnic and religious history in modern ways.

SUNRISE, Fla. – Cats and ducks are vanishing from Sunrise. Residents believe coyotes are hunting them. Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking residents to avoid leaving small children or pets unattended outside.
Coyotes are more active in the spring. The medium-sized canines are more competitive and territorial during the breeding season. Monogamous pairs are protective of their litter of pups. They usually hunt during dusk and dawn.
“We definitely have lots of sightings,” said Colby Baez, of Sunrise. “Before I used to let my animals hang out in my fenced-in backyard by themselves . I would go inside, but now I make sure I am there with them all the time.”
