Armstrong is rebranding its local programming as the Armstrong Neighborhood Channel.

The cable television provider has been producing local original programming since the 1960s — including “Faces & Places,” “Critter Corner” and “Butler Buzz.” Those shows are now part of Armstrong Neighborhood Channel, which remains on channels 10 and 100.

“After extensive surveys, brainstorming and customer feedback, our team landed on a brand that encompasses who we are programming for — the neighborhoods that we work, live and play in,” said Adam Daniels, Armstrong's field marketing manager. “Armstrong Neighborhood Channel producers know what programming their viewers find interesting. They know the people and places that matter.”

The week of Aug. 25 was Patty Baker Week at Concordia Lutheran Ministries to honor an employee who has been with the Cabot-based aging services network for 40 years.Baker, who hails from Saxonburg, began working in Concordia’s housekeeping department after she completed high school.“When I first started here, we were like a family,” she said. “We spent a lot of time with the residents taking them to activities.”Baker, who said she is not retiring for a few more years, stayed with Concordia for four decades due to her fondness for her fellow employees and those who lived in the Oertel Care Center, an assisted living center located at Concordia at Cabot.Concordia Lutheran Ministries serves more than 40,000 people annually through home care and inpatient locations.
