Could you survive a month in poverty?

That's a question that roughly 80 people tried to answer Tuesday during a simulation designed to have participants to walk in the shoes of people in dire financial situations.

Community Action Southwest, the United Way of Washington County and Community Connections invited the public to the event in which those attending were given a role to play that allowed them to experience the frustrations of poverty.

The simulation, held at Church of the Covenant in Washington, was divided into four 15-minute sessions, each of which represented one week. Afterward, a discussion was held about poverty and what can be done about it.

Washington County's poverty rate is 10.6 percent, or about 22,000 people, according to the organizers of the event.

Barbara Miller, director of training and development at Community Southwest, said she was pleased with the crowd, which included young people, Boy Scouts and residents from Washington, Greene and Allegheny counties.

The organizations stage the poverty simulations for groups. For information, call Barbara Miller at 724-225-9550, ext. 435.

Henry Glitz, a seventh-grader at St. Bernard Elementary School in Mt. Lebanon, won first place in the Pennsylvania Geography Bee last month in State College, Centre County.

After 10 rounds, only two competitors remained: Henry and Varun Kumar, an eighth-grader from Philadelphia.

Henry won by answering this question: "The largest city in Siberia with approximately 1.4 million people is located on the trans-Siberian railroad. Name this city."

Varun responded first by answering "Vladivostok." Henry then answered with "Novosibirsk," which won the championship.

Now, Henry will represent Pennsylvania next week at the National Geography Bee in Washington, D.C., where he will compete with 54 other finalists.

The grand prize is a $25,000 scholarship. Second- and third-place prizes of $15,000 and $10,000 also will be awarded.

Alex Trebek, host of the "Jeopardy" television show, will host the competition, which will be shown on the National Geographic Channel.
