Insects To Highlight Annual Extension Meeting If asked whether they would be happy in a world without insects, some people might answer in the affirmative.

However, such a scenario would be disastrous for Earth and its inhabitants, entomologists have said. “Insects are integral to the health of the planet and people,� explained Michael Skvarla, director of the Insect Identification Laboratory at Penn State University (PSU). “They pollinate our crops and feed on pests, help decompose dead animals, form the base of food webs, and stabilize natural environments.�

PJP II To Celebrate Catholic Schools Week

By Francine Fulton

A community open house at Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elementary School (PJP II) in West Brandywine will kick off the school’s celebration of Catholic Schools Week (CSW), which will be observed this year from Sunday, Jan. 26, through Friday, Jan. 31. The theme of this year’s observance is “Catholic Schools: Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.�

The open house at PJP II, located at 2875 Manor Road (Route 82), Coatesville, will take place on Jan. 26 from noon to 2 p.m. During the event, visitors will be able to tour the school, which serves students from prekindergarten to eighth grade.

When Pope John Paul II Regional Catholic Elementary School (PJP II) holds its community open house on Sunday, Jan. 26, visitors will be able to view a STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math) Expo in the school gymnasium. STREAM is unique to Catholic school because the “R” aspect has been added to incorporate faith-based learning in the curriculum.

At PJP II, fifth- through eighth-graders have completed projects for the expo in collaboration with ProjectEngin, a program that has students using STREAM to tackle real-world issues based on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (STGs). The projects focus on global issues like hunger and lack of access to clean water.

The students’ projects are designed to improve the lives of those who live in impoverished countries.

“Different grade levels are zoning in on different STGs. My kids are studying Earth science, so they are working on clean water, deforestation and sustainable cities and communities,” explained sixth-grade science teacher Julie Bigelow. “The kids really have to think on their own.

They have to do research. (They

learn that) there are other people in the world that don’t have what we have. We are so lucky. So, there is also a human kindness component.”

Students work in teams to complete the projects. “They each have their own role within the group,” Bigelow explained.

“There is a project manager, a country expert, a design engineer and a marketing person. The kids choose three things that they want to do, and we try to (match their interests).”

One team developed a prototype that would address the deforestation caused by forest fires in the Amazon Rainforest or any forest. The team members designed a drone that will drop a pod that senses heat from the forest fire and alerts government authorities that there is a fire and provides the location of the fire. The name of their company is Vida Nova, which means “new life” in Portuguese, the Brazilian language.

“Sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders create a prototype,” Bigelow explained. “A prototype is their solution to a problem they are investigating, but on a smaller scale.”

In addition to the students in the older grades, younger PJP II students take part in a school STREAM program. “For fifthgraders, it’s more of a math

Annual Meeting from pg 1 family-friendly style of the evening, the presentation will be appropriate for people of all ages and will have an interactive component. Attendees will have an opportunity to view exhibits featuring stream macroinvertebrates and native plants for insects.

The event will begin with a social hour, during which guests may enjoy foods and beverages provided by local commodity groups and vendors. The program will follow. In addition to learning about the importance of insects’ roles in agriculture and the environment, attendees will be introduced to Brent Hales, the new director of Penn State Extension, who will share about Lancaster County Extension programs, including 4-H youth development and Master Gardeners. Guests will also hear the latest news regarding spotted lanternfly research and receive an overview of “Hemp: Lancaster County’s Heritage Crop.”

In addition to his role as Extension director, Hales serves as an associate dean of the College of Agricultural Sciences at Penn State. He received a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Brigham Young University, a master’s degree in sociology from Middle Tennessee State University, and a doctorate in rural sociology from Iowa State University. Hales previously served as the senior associate dean and CFO of the University of Minnesota Extension, an associate dean for the University of Minnesota Extension Center for Community Vitality, and the director of the University of

Minnesota Crookston, Economic Development Authority University Center. Hales’ primary area of research is holistic community and economic development and entrepreneurship. He is the founder of the Southern Entrepreneurship Program, which teaches entrepreneurship skills to high school and community college students and to displaced workers throughout the United States and around the globe. He is also a past president of the Community Development Society.

Penn State Extension is an educational network that gives people in each of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties access to Penn State’s resources and expertise.

It is funded through state and county governments, as well as the United States Department of Agriculture. Through this county-based partnership, Penn State Extension educators, faculty members, and local volunteers work together to share research-based information with local residents.

There is no cost to attend the annual meeting, but registration is required. Readers must register by Monday, Jan. 27, by visiting http://extension.psu .edu/lancaster-county-extension -annual-meeting or calling 877-345-0691.

Penn State encourages disabled people to participate in its programs and activities. Readers who anticipate needing any type of accommodation or who have questions about the physical access provided may call the Lancaster County Extension office at 717-394-6851 before their visits.

component,” Bigelow noted. “The younger grades do things as well, but their program is modified (to their age level).”

This is the second year that PJP II has held a STREAM Expo, which is organized by Jill Wentzel, PJP II STEM coordinator. Unlike a traditional science fair, STREAM projects are completed in school.

The projects will be judged prior to the expo on Friday, Jan. 24. “Each group is going to have three rounds of judging. The kids are actually presenting their projects, which includes a brochure, a prototype and a trifold board,” said Bigelow. “On Sunday, parents (and other visitors) can check out how the kids did.”

Last year, the top three teams visited Bentley Systems in Exton.

“They presented their projects to Bentley colleagues, answered questions about their prototypes, toured their corporate campus, collaborated on whiteboards and learned more about Bentley’s software development and engineering business,” noted Maria Samson, PJP II development director. “(The students) are looking forward to a visit to Bentley Systems again this year.”

PJP II is located at 2875 Manor Road (Route 82), Coatesville. The open house on Jan. 26 will be held from noon to 2 p.m.

Night To Shine from pg 1 members of the community to join its extensive volunteer team that will help to make Night to Shine a success. Requirements include background checks, watching training videos and mandatory attendance at a preevent rally.

and discover things within ourselves,” noted Grayberg. To be sure “Ruth” fills these roles for the audience, Grayberg is focusing on the heart of the tale. “This bond between these two women is beautiful,” she said. “We are stripping the story down and bringing out the human aspect,” she said. “Ruth was used by God to facilitate (His plan).”

From a musical perspective, Grayberg noted there will be significant changes. “This is the first time a Sight and Sound show will be done with a live orchestra,” she said, noting that LBC’s Dr. Bruce Gerlach listened to a recording of the show and wrote the score for a 26-piece orchestra. Songs that Grayberg believes will stand out include “I Will Go Where You Go,” and “By My Side,” which are sung by Ruth and Naomi together. She also pointed to a solo by Boaz called “Taking Your Chances.”

As a choreographer, Grayberg said that there will be several songs that will include ensemble celebratory dances. “There’s a (number where) they enter the Temple of Chemosh, a god of the Moabites, with live percussion and

extravagant dancing,” she said.

As she deals with the challenges of bringing a big show to a smaller stage, Grayberg wants audiences to focus on the message of the show. “I hope audiences see this as a story of redemption and faithfulness and see that God works things out for good,” she said.

Grayberg also lauded the cast members, noting that the students feel honored and thankful to play the roles. “I hope (audience members) see the truthfulness of the actors,” she said.

Tickets to the show may be purchased at www.lbc.edu/events.

Readers who have questions may call 717-560-8241.

Pictured on front: Preparing for their roles in the Lancaster Bible College production of “Ruth” are (from left) Kayla Valesquez, understudy for the role of Naomi; Samantha Ingram, who will play Naomi; and Delaney Bigley, who is alternating with Kristin Hurdleston in the role of Ruth.

Samson reported that students will speak about Catholic schools at local churches earlier that morning, with visits planned to St. Peter in West Brandywine, Our Lady of the Rosary in Coatesville and St. Joseph in Coatesville.

When David Felty, executive producer, considered bringing the Sight and Sound Theatres original production of “Ruth” to the Lancaster Bible College (LBC) stage, he felt the show, based on one of only two books of the Bible dedicated to the story of a woman, should have a female perspective. With that in mind, he brought in Heather Grayberg to direct and choreograph, along with an all-female creative team that includes Leslie Talley and Gabrielle Hines as assistant directors, Kendra Bigley as music director, Katie Moser as set designer, and women overseeing costumes and props.

“Ruth” will be staged on Fridays, Jan. 24 and 31, at 7 p.m.; on Saturdays, Jan. 25 and Feb. 1, at 2 and 7 p.m.; and on Sundays, Jan. 26 and Feb. 2, at 2 p.m. All shows will be held in the Good Shepherd Chapel at LBC, 901 Eden Road, Lancaster.

Kristin Hurdleston and Delaney Bigley are double cast in the titular role, and Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi, is played by Samantha Ingram. The pair find

themselves poor widows when Naomi’s husband, Elimelech, played by Richard Thomas, dies and her sons are killed. With only faith in God and each other, Naomi and Ruth set off on a journey that leads to a lesson about finding God’s plans when one’s own have failed. But “Ruth” is also a love story about the kinsman Boaz, played by Bryson Buffington, who rescues the women from their plight when he falls in love with the title character. Brianna Brady will serve as the narrator, an otherworldly being who will at one point interact with the characters.

While Grayberg is excited about the production, being the first to stage the show outside Sight and Sound comes with challenges. “It feels like we are workshopping a brand-new show,” she said, noting that the stage at the Good Shepherd Chapel is somewhat smaller than the one at Sight and Sound. “We have to make the show attainable, so the text and staging can be tricky as far as conveying the story, but I think it will feel more intimate,” said Grayberg.

Helping Birds Survive Winter The arrival of winter forces everyone to confront the changes synonymous with the season, and local wildlife is no exception.

Low temperatures, harsh winter storms, and a scarcity of food can make it challenging for wildlife, including birds, to thrive throughout the winter.

Even though several species of birds are migratory and travel to warmer climates to wait out winter, many others stay put. The Audubon Society says that keeping close to home helps some species of birds maintain their territories.

Some birds will puff up to retain heat; others will seek shel-

ter in dense foliage or cavities to avoid the elements. Many birds will huddle together to share warmth.

Another way of keeping warm is building up fat as an insulator and energy source. The Audubon Society says more than 10% of some birds’ winter body weight may be fat. That can be challenging to maintain when common sources of food, such as insects and berries, disappear as winter wears on. This is when some human intervention can prove handy.

Wild birds can benefit from some help when the temperatures start to drop in winter. A few simple efforts may benefit

birds and other wildlife that may not hibernate winter away or escape to the tropics.

1 - People should have a supply of food, bird feeders, birdhouses, and any other bird-related gear at the ready before the storms really rev up.

2 - Individuals can help by investing in nutritious food, such as black oil sunflower seeds or blends that are high in black oil sunflower seeds. You also can make available more foods that are high in fat, such as suet, peanut butter, or even whole peanuts. Mother Nature Network also suggests adding meal worms, if they can be found.

25% OFF

3 - Choosing feeders that will keep seed dry is important. Otherwise, it will be prone to bacterial and fungal growth.

4 - Fallen leaves or any downed twigs or pruned boughs from trees should not be discarded. This will give birds material for creating shelter or hiding away when the weather gets especially brutal. When the Christmas tree is finished for the season, it can be placed in the yard as a windbreak for birds.

5 - Shallow water sources should be kept around so birds can drink. They should be replaced frequently if water freezes.

VVMF Wall Of Faces Updated (DMVA) has partnered with the VVMF in Washington, D.C., to find a photo of every Pennsylvanian whose name appears on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall - commonly referred to as The Wall. The VVMF has been posting the photos on a virtual Wall of Faces in order to put a face and a story to every name to help preserve each person’s legacy.

The project aims to show the families and friends of the Pennsylvanians lost in Vietnam that their loved ones will not be for-

gotten. Volunteers from around the country were instrumental in locating these photos and spreading the word about the Wall of Faces effort.

As an official partner in the Department of Defense’s Commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War, completing the Wall of Faces project is one way the DMVA is showing its support of the service, sacrifice, and legacy of Vietnam veterans. Since the VVMF launched the photo campaign in October

NAP Grant Given To Coatesville An $80,000 Neighborhood Assistance Program (NAP) grant has been awarded to assist the Coatesville commercial district. The program promotes community participation and collaborations among nonprofits, businesses, and residents. In Coatesville, 2nd Century Alliance, in partnership with Chester County, was awarded the $80,000 grant to help kickstart a commercial district makeover.

First-year funding also supports a façade grant program and a sustainable, clean, safe, and green program to improve the aesthetics of the area as the downtown manager works to implement those programs.

The second-year grant funding will continue the developments of the first year, with focus on rehabilitation of blighted properties, business retention, construction of and improvements for quality residential space, attracting a diverse and unique group of retail and hospitality businesses, adding parking, reducing criminal activity, and implementing green and environmentally friendly programs.

Counties Welcome New CCAP Leader After nearly nine years of experience representing the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP) as its director of government relations, Lisa Schaefer officially began her role as executive director of the Association on Dec. 1, marking the next chapter of leadership for Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. Previous executive director Doug Hill assumed emeritus status until his retirement on Dec. 31, 2019. Hill left with nearly 36 years of service as CCAP’s executive director.

Founded in 1886, CCAP represents all 67 counties in Pennsylvania with legislative leadership and provides services for residents throughout the state.

CCAP’s leadership team includes deputy executive director Brinda Penyak, who has 17 years of CCAP service and extensive experience in the legislative and policy realms as well as a reputation for building relationships and programs that positively impact the many complicated issues counties manage on a daily basis.

Schaefer and Penyak are joined on senior staff by experienced leaders, including managing director of insurance programs John Sallade, who has served CCAP for 32 years. In this role he creates and oversees insurance, risk management, employee benefit and other programs that aid county

operations and annually provide millions of dollars of savings, grants and dividends to member counties.

Director of meetings and education Karen Sweigard, with 27 years of CCAP service, oversees numerous major conferences, meetings and educational opportunities aimed at developing informed and responsible county officials and a professional culture in county government, while enhancing the officials’ service to residents.

Chief financial officer Pamela Szajnuk has served counties for 20 years at CCAP. She is responsible for all aspects of the financial/accounting operations for the association, insurance programs and affiliates, as well as accounting control systems, internal audits, financial reports and day-to-day support for all programs and activities.

Chief information officer Michael Sage is new to CCAP but has more than 15 years of government technology experience.

He oversees programs that focus on technology solutions and support for counties through the delivery of transparent, timely, reliable, secure and cost-effective services.

With Schaefer’s departure from CCAP’s government relations team, the association will be led in this area by Ashley White, who began her role as director of government relations on Dec. 9 and contributes several

Award Will Fund Children’s Books Tips To Reduce Personal Debt Posted Debt can quickly sneak up on a person. However, it can take much longer - sometimes decades - to get out of debt.

Northwestern Mutual’s 2018 “Planning and Progress Study” says the average American has about $38,000 in personal debt, excluding home mortgages. Several tips can make it easier to get rid of debt.

Individuals should avoid new debt at all costs. That includes not using credit cards, ceasing to take out loans, not buying big-ticket items, and scaling back on general purchases.

They should cut back nonessential spending, such as cable subscriptions or gym memberships for the time being. That extra money should be repurposed to pay off existing debt.

Individuals should learn about methods of paying off debts, including the avalanche method. According to NerdWallet, an online financial resource, the debt avalanche approach encourages debtors to pay off debts with the highest interest rates first. However, in a 2016 investigation for the Harvard Business Review, researchers found that the snowball method, which prioritizes paying off the smallest debt balance first and then moving on

as debt amounts increase, is the most effective strategy. This method has a powerful effect on people’s sense of progress, because they gain momentum by watching debts disappear.

Individuals are also encouraged to get a lower interest rate.

Customers can call customer service centers to see if they can lower debt by negotiating a better interest rate, says Credit.com. Since much of a credit card payment goes toward monthly interest charges and not toward the actual balance, this can be a way to get a handle on debt. Some people prefer to use a balance transfer to get a lower rate on another card and try to pay off the balance before the promotional rate expires.

When debt is so substantial that debtors cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, they might ask a creditor to accept a one-time, lump sum payment to satisfy the debt. Debt consolidation companies also can help by negotiating with creditors and streamlining debt into one payment per month instead of many.

By creating and following an effective plan, people in debt often can dig themselves out of financial peril.

Pennsylvania Public Television, in collaboration with the United Way of Pennsylvania, has been selected to receive an award of $170,000 for new books and ebooks. This award will extend the mission of both organizations, providing greater access to books for children in low-income districts. First Book, the nonprofit social enterprise focused on equal access to quality education for children in need, awarded the funds as part of its OMG Books Awards: Offering More Great Books to Spark Innovation, a program that will give more than $4.7 million in funding to distribute 1.5 million brand-new books and e-books to children living in low-income communities in 33 U.S. states and territories.

First Book is helping public media partners and United Way to resource proven local strategies which get free books into the hands of children of all ages from

low-income communities across the state. In addition to helping children develop skills related to learning, the books are also intended to encourage development of positive relationships with adults who will read First Book selections to young children or help older children choose the next story they would like to read.

Awardees will use the funding to select books and e-books from the First Book Marketplace (www.fbmarketplace.com), First Book’s award-winning eCommerce platform, that best meet the needs of the children they serve. First Book estimates the total value of the books distributed will be more than $12 million.

Eligible educators, librarians, providers, and others serving children in need can sign up to receive resources from First Book outside of OMG Books Awards.

Approximately 23% of Pennsylvania’s 8.9 million licensed drivers are age 65 or older. In 2018, there were 21,746 crashes involving a driver 65 or older, resulting in 330 fatalities. This represents nearly 17% of the total crashes in Pennsylvania and nearly 28% of the fatalities.

Pennsylvania has a network of shared-ride service providers dedicated to keeping older adults mobile, safe, and engaged in their community. This free transportation program allows citizens age 65 or older to ride for free on a local, fixed-route service whenever local public transportation is operating. During 2017-18, 83,252 riders accessed the Shared-Ride Program, totaling more than 3.3 million rides.

While every person ages differently, aging typically brings certain - and sometimes subtle physical, visual, and cognitive changes that could impair an older person’s ability to drive safely. Older drivers and their families should work together to identify potential issues that may affect driving, outline courses of action to assist the older driver, and plan for when it is time to hang up the keys.

Signs that can indicate it may be time to limit driving or stop driving altogether include: - Feeling uncomfortable, fearful, or nervous when driving - Unexplained dents/scrapes on the car, fences, mailboxes, or garage doors - Frequently getting lost and frequent “close calls” (i.e., almost crashing) - Slower response times, particularly to unexpected situations - Difficulty paying attention to signs or staying in the lane of traffic and - Trouble judging gaps at intersections or highway entrance/exit ramps.

Older drivers and their loved ones are encouraged to review PennDOT’s Seniors Driving Safely publication series, which can be downloaded for free from w w w . d m v. p a . g o v / D r i v e r

-Services/Mature-Drivers/Pages /default.aspx. These publications help older drivers assess their abilities and offer guidance on next steps if their medical condition is reported to PennDOT. The series also includes a publication designed to guide family and friends of older drivers in what can sometimes be difficult conversations about deciding to stop driving, as well as information for health care providers on PennDOT’s medical reporting program.

The following safe-driving habits, which should be routine at any age, may be especially useful to older drivers: - Plan ahead. Lengthy car trips should be made during daylight hours. Morning may be best, because most people are not as tired as they are in the afternoon.

- Do not drive in rush-hour traffic if it can be avoided. Trips should be planned after 9 a.m. or before 5 p.m., and travelers should know what roads near home are most congested, so they can be avoided.

- When driving long distances, especially in winter, drivers should call ahead for weather and road condition updates.

- Good drivers can get a jump on trouble by making adjustments before encountering problems that may involve other vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, or animals.

- A safe speed should be maintained. This depends on what the road is like, how well the driver can see, how much traffic there is, and how fast traffic is moving.

- Drivers should keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead of them. The Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual advises that drivers should always keep a four-second gap between them and the vehicle in front of them.

Additional information on older driver safety and mobility resources is available at the previously mentioned website and the Department of Aging website at www.aging.pa.gov.

Tips Posted For Finding A New Hobby Leisure time can seem like a luxury for many adults. While it can seem like there is little time in the day to do more than tend to responsibilities at work and at home, people may have more time to pursue leisure activities than they realize. In its 2018 American Time Use Survey, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that 96% of people age 15 and over engaged in some sort of leisure activity on an average day.

How people spend their leisure time might affect their perceptions about that time. For example, few people may consider

40 Years Worth of Equipment, Tools, Parts Inventory, Truck Caps and Bed Liners, Office Items, John Deer 345 Lawn Tractor, Cat Forklift, Yamaha Battery Golf Cart.

watching television an activity, though the American Time Use Survey found that watching television occupied more leisure time, nearly three hours per day, than any other leisure activity.

Finding new hobbies that encourage active participation can make leisure time more memorable.

Hobbies once enjoyed as a child may have long since been forgotten, but it can be fun to reimmerse oneself in such interests. Adults who loved to play sports as a child can look for adult leagues in their area, while

once budding artists might want to dust off their easels and visit a local paint and sip facility.

Individuals can reinvent something they are already doing. For example, those who enjoy cooking for their family each night might consider enrolling in a cooking class, where participants can meet fellow foodies while fine-tuning their culinary skills.

If someone loves to read, they can join or start a community book club.

Adults are encouraged to expand their horizons. It is easy for anyone to say no to some-

thing new, but it is especially so for adults accustomed to their routines. However, men and women who are willing to try new things are more likely to find something new to be passionate about than those who shy away from the unknown.

People do not have to make a big initial commitment when trying a new hobby, but approach any new ideas or suggestions with an open mind.

Finding a new hobby as an adult can be tricky, but approaching new activities with an open mind may help people attain this goal.

It may be tempting to curl up on the couch and turn on the television to unwind, but research indicates that reading is one of the best workouts for the brain. The World Health Organization says that doctors diagnose nearly 10 million new cases of dementia each year. With so many people understandably concerned about any and all cognitive issues related to aging, the search is continually on to find ways to strengthen the mind’s muscle. It may be as simple as picking up a book.

Winter Health Tips from pg 7 adversity. People are advised to find outdoor activities that are enjoyable, to stay motivated, and to incorporate warm-ups and cool-down exercises.

To build tolerance to the cold, individuals should pick an activity they enjoy and get outside. For example, they may find a local ski rental shop and take their family on a new adventure at a local park. People who live near mountains are encouraged to pick up skiing, snowboarding, and sledding. In those areas without mountains, towns and cities may set up seasonal ice rinks for skating. Getting active in winter can even include building a snow fort with one’s family, starting a

People are encouraged to change how they perceive the cold weather. Instead of thinking about how cold it might feel at first, people should think of how many extra calories they will be able to burn in the cold as their body works to regulate its temperature. Nutritionally, individuals should be mindful at holiday parties and meals to not over indulge, potentially reversing progress they have made.

Rehabilitation exercises and stretches may help to avoid injuries during workouts in colder weather or for any wintertime activity, such as shoveling snow. In addition to keeping active overall, people may perform exercises like bird dogs, back extensions, planks, squats, and hip lifts to ensure their core, hips, and lower back are healthy for movements like shoveling.

Austen novel showed an increase in blood flowing to areas of the brain that control both cognitive and executive function.

When the brain is working efficiently, it may be less prone to some of the issues that can cause a decline in memory and brain function. Research published in the journal Neurology found frequent brain exercise through reading lowered mental decline by 32%.

Of course, the benefits of reading extend beyond the physical.

Literary fiction can help people

be more empathetic. Getting lost in a book and the characters’ stories makes others more relatable.

Reading has the potential to help a person understand what people are thinking, notes research published in the journal Science.

Picking up a good book also can help a person gain knowledge of new cultures, ideas, and history and even improve vocabulary.

Picking up a newspaper or magazine, joining a book club, or reading with children are just a few of the many ways to improve the mind through reading.

Litter Efforts Seek Helpers Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful invites local residents, organizations, civic groups, and businesses to be part of its statewide adoption program. The program is an opportunity for locals to adopt and care for municipal roads, parks, neighborhood blocks, greenways, waterways, and trails.

According to Keep America Beautiful’s 2009 National Visible Litter Survey and Litter Cost Study, litter cleanup costs the U.S. more than an estimated $11.5 billion each year, with municipalities spending more than $790 million and counties spending $185 million each year.

Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful partners with local municipalities to help mitigate the costs associated with cleaning up by encouraging local residents to take ownership of their communities. Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful provides a sign recognizing the groups or individuals who have adopted the road or area and seeks the support of the

local municipalities to provide the sign post, install the sign, and provide trash disposal options as needed.

The benefits of removing roadside litter are broad. Removing litter can send a message to travelers that littering and dumping will not be tolerated; remove dangers to people, animals, and maintenance equipment; make communities more attractive for residents, tourists, and potential newcomers; and increase property values and community pride.

For more information about adopting a municipal road, park, neighborhood block, greenway, waterway, or trail, readers may visit www.keeppabeautiful.org and choose Keep It or contact Stephanie Larson at slarson@keep pabeautiful.org or 877-772-3673, ext. 104.

People make New Year’s resolutions to improve their lives, and reading more can be a great way to do just that. According to the online health and wellness resource The Healthy (www.thehealthy.com), reading has been associated with language reception in the left temporal cortex of the brain. When this part of the brain processes written material, neurons begin working hard to transmit information. Research conducted by Stanford University indicated that MRI scans of people who were deep into a Jane

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) recently announced a statewide effort to memorialize fallen employees with bridge dedications. PennDOT is in the initial stages of an effort to name bridges after the PennDOT employees who died while on duty since 1970. Once this project has been completed, PennDOT will work with the general assembly to pass a naming authorization bill in the spring 2020 legislative session.

PennDOT’s intent, with the involvement and approval of the families, is to name a bridge after each fallen PennDOT worker as

an acknowledgement of their service to Pennsylvania. Each bridge will be marked with a sign that includes the fallen worker’s name as a visual reminder to motorists to slow down in work zones.

The statewide initiative was inspired by a similar effort completed in honor of PennDOT District 3 employee Harold “Don” Whipple, who was killed in the line of duty in 2016. A bridge in Northumberland County was memorialized in Whipple’s name in 2019.

PennDOT continues to honor fallen colleagues through its Traveling Worker’s Memorial, but the bridge renaming effort will give communities a lasting

monument to remember those lost and emphasize the fact that the safety of workers in a work zone depends on everyone.

PennDOT staff will reach out to the families of fallen employees to discuss the program. The department is currently working to identify families of fallen employees whose next-of-kin information the department does not have due to the length of time since the employee’s passing.

A list of the names of fallen PennDOT employees statewide and additional information on the Traveling Worker’s Memorial can be found by visiting www.penndot.gov.
