UNIONTOWN — A southwestern Pennsylvania community group has erected a second Ten Commandments monument — this one in front of a church — in the wake of a lawsuit by an atheists' group.

Thou Shalt Not Move was formed by a local businessman and a pastor after the Wisconsin-based Freedom From Religion Foundation sued to remove a monument at the Connellsville School District. That federal lawsuit is still pending.

The group raised enough money by selling Ten Commandments yard signs to buy 14 granite monuments it intends to place at various sites in the community.

The first was erected in front of a fraternal club last month..

STATE COLLEGE — A sign reading “We won't forget” has been left at the site where former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno's statue once stood in State College.It marks the one-year anniversary of the date it was removed in the aftermath of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal.
