minimum, all-season tires should be rated for use in mud and snow.

Once vehicles are travelready, drivers should be prepared for winter or vehicle emergencies, especially if longdistance travel is planned. PennDOT urges motorists to carry an emergency kit. An emergency kit should include items such as nonperishable food, water, first aid supplies, warm clothes, a blanket, a cellphone charger and a small snow shovel. However, motorists should tailor their kits to any specific needs that they or their families may have. Drivers should consider adding such items as baby supplies, extra medication, pet supplies, or even children’s games.

Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles, including color-coded winter conditions on 2,900 miles, by visiting www.511PA .com. 511PA, which is free and available 24 hours a day, provides traffic delay warnings, weather forecasts, traffic speed information, and access to more than 860 traffic cameras. 511PA is also available through a smartphone application for iPhone and Android devices, by calling 5-1-1, or by following regional Twitter alerts accessible on the 511PA website.

Christmas Special: SAVE 50% OFF When you try this Japanese technique for deep relaxation Dec. 12, 2018 to Jan. 12, 2019

What is Reiki? “It is pure and total relaxation. I have had the pleasure of seeing Claudia Kirk (Reiki Master) three times so far. I knew I had to do something about how I felt – tight, tense and a lot of joint pain. I saw the article announcing the opening of her practice and thought, ‘why not?’ I am so glad I made that phone call! Reiki is very different from any other massage I’ve had. For me it is about getting rid of the negative or blocked energy we all have in our bodies due to everyday living and stress. Through Claudia’s healing touch, Reiki has allowed me to experience positive, relaxing energy.�

SINCE 1973 BUYERS/SELLERS

PennDOT’s primary focus is on interstates and expressways, and equipment may be redirected to those routes during significant winter events. The more traffic a roadway has, the more attention it will receive from plows, so motorists may find deeper accumulations on less-traveled routes and should adjust their driving for those conditions.

If motorists encounter snow or ice-covered roads, they should slow down, increase their following distance and avoid distractions. Last winter in Pennsylvania, preliminary data shows that there were 440 crashes resulting in one fatality and 221 injuries on snowy, slushy, or ice-covered roadways where aggressivedriving behaviors such as speeding or making careless lane changes were factors.

In addition to planning for winter travel conditions, motorists should prepare their vehicles for the season. Tires should be checked often for the correct level of air pressure and adequate tire tread depth to perform on ice and snow. A quick way to check tread depth is to insert a penny in the tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down. If the entire head can be seen, the tires are worn and traction will suffer.

If the driver lives in an area prone to heavy snow, he or she may want to consider using dedicated snow tires or carrying a set of tire chains. At a

R027487

Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has shared the agency’s plans for winter services and highlighted tools members of the public can use through the winter and how they can prepare for the coming season.

PennDOT’s top priority is safety, and that guides winter preparations and operations.

To help the public prepare for the season and share information about winter services, resources are available at www.penndot.gov/winter. The site also has a complete winter guide with detailed information about winter services in each of PennDOT’s 11 engineering districts.

The public can also access travel information on nearly 40,000 roadway miles yearround at www.511PA.com, and during the winter, they can find plow truck locations and details of when state-maintained roadways were last plowed. The information is made possible by PennDOT’s Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) technology, which uses units in each of the more than 2,200 department-owned and rented plow trucks to send a cellular signal showing where a truck is located.

The 40,000 miles for which PennDOT is responsible translates into 96,000 snow-lane miles - enough miles to circle the globe nearly four times. A snow lane is calculated as the miles of road multiplied by the number of lanes, which means a 1-mile section of four-lane roadway would equal 4 snowlane miles. The department maintains roughly the same number of miles maintained by the state in New York, New Jersey, and all the New England states combined.

With $228 million budgeted for this winter’s statewide operations, PennDOT deploys about 4,500 on-the-road workers, has more than 620,000 tons of salt on hand across the state, and will take salt deliveries throughout the winter.

Winter maintenance is a critical and difficult task, and drivers should always think safety first and be sure that they are giving plenty of room to PennDOT operators and other motorists.

When winter weather hits,

Gifts Sought To Fight Pediatric Cancer Ryan’s Birthday Party Foundation, a nonprofit organization with the mission to “Help Kids With Cancer Smile,” is currently raising funds for a pediatric brain cancer research grant.

The foundation is partnering with Live Like Lukas to provide a matching grant to Nemours AI duPont Children’s Hospital. The foundation is aiming to provide $25,000, with Live Like Lukas donating $50,000; this $75,000

will be matched at Nemours for a total of $150,000.

A total of $16,000 toward the foundation’s $25,000 donation was raised at its Denim and Diamonds event on Sept.

30. The community is invited to donate to fund the remaining $9,000.

Community members may help decorate the foundation’s virtual Giving Tree by making a donation at www.ryansbirthday party.com/donate or by giving

to Ryan’s Birthday Party Foundation Inc. via PayPal. Individuals may donate in honor of or in memory of a family member or other loved one. For every donation of at least $25, the foundation will add a new decoration to its online Christmas tree. The Christmas tree will remain on the website all year.

Making Lighting Displays Safer Lighting displays are one of the many things that help make the holiday season a special time of year. Holiday lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for communities and individuals to showcase their festive sides.

Safety should always be a priority when stringing holiday lights both inside and outside a home. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) notes that each year between 2009 and 2014, fire departments in the United States responded to an average of 210 home fires that started with Christmas trees. Lighting displays strung on home exteriors also can pose safety risks if homeowners do not exercise caution. Fortunately, various strategies can help homeowners

safely decorate their homes’ interiors and exteriors this holiday season.

The NFPA recommends celebrants who prefer natural Christmas trees choose ones with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched.

Dry trees are more likely to catch fire than freshly cut trees. Adding water to the tree stand each day will keep trees fresher longer. When placing the tree, avoid placing it too close to heat sources, making sure it is at least three feet away from fireplaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, and lights.

All lights, including those going on trees inside a home and those being strung outside, should be inspected prior to being strung. Owners should look for any worn or broken cords and

replace any defected lights.

When stringing lights, individuals should always work with at least one other person.

This makes it safe for homeowners who must climb ladders to string lights on especially tall trees and/or on their home exteriors.

People should avoid working outdoors in inclement weather.

The weather during the holiday season can sometimes be unpleasant or unpredictable.

People should check the forecast before stringing exterior lights to ensure Mother Nature will not pose a threat. They should avoid hanging lights if the forecast predicts wet, icy, or windy conditions that can make ladders unstable.

Individuals should turn lights off when going to bed and/or leaving the house. Interior and exterior holiday lights should not be left on when no one is home or everyone inside is sleeping. If left on overnight or when no one is home, lights may contribute to fires that damage homes and may even prove fatal.

Holiday lighting displays help make this time of year special. Following some simple safety procedures when decorating with lights can ensure everyone enjoys a safe and happy holiday season.

also tend to be heavily discounted in December. Stores slash prices on ornaments, gift wrap, artificial trees, holidaythemed baking items and more.

If an item has even a slight connection to the holidays, stores may cut the item’s price by 50 percent or more once Christmas is over.

It is possible to find discounted televisions even after the Black Friday sales have come and gone. People should look at the circulars and buy items when sales are advertised, as inventory may be limited.

As the winter progresses, the amount of clothing stock in stores starts to dwindle to free up room for a new season’s worth of attire. Starting in late December and continuing through late January, retailers are eager to liquidate their stock of scarves, sweaters, boots and winter coats. This is a prime time to replenish wardrobes.

Sales on linens, also known as white sales, are traditionally held in January, with home goods retailers offering discounts all month long. These sales generally encompass towels, bed sheets, curtains and other linens.

January is the ideal time to purchase a new gym membership or fitness equipment since these purchases tie into New Year’s resolutions to get fit.

Gyms may waive some fees or offer discounted rates.

Most people return home after the holidays, and that can generate a slow travel season afterward. The travel industry attracts new customers with discounted hotel rates and other deals. Tickets to Broadway shows and other events also may be discounted to encourage people to leave the house.

Rather than succumb to cabin fever, people can use the winter months to visit area stores and score a few deals.

December and January are great times to grab steep discounts on an array of products.

Savvy shoppers understand that key items go on sale at specific points throughout the year. Learning how to shop the sales can lead to considerable savings.

Toys are perhaps the best items to purchase in December.

Apart from buying Christmas gifts, people may stock up on toys children have coveted, which can be put away for birthday presents or other occasions. Retailers tend to lower toy prices as Christmas approaches.

Natural Christmas tree aficionados love the authenticity such trees provide during the holiday season. Natural trees also provide a unique aroma that can make holiday celebrations feel more homey. A few simple strategies can help holiday revelers ensure their Christmas trees make it through the holiday season unscathed.

When purchasing natural trees, holiday celebrants, especially those who like to buy their trees in early December, may be concerned about keeping their trees fresh throughout the holiday season. Several tips can help trees last until the final present is unwrapped and the last of the egg nog has been consumed.

The first tip is to buy a freshly cut tree. Whenever possible, people should cut their own trees. This ensures that the tree they bring home is fresh, increasing the chances it will remain so throughout the season.

them to absorb water. By requesting that between one and two inches be removed from the bottom of the tree at the time of purchase, buyers are ensuring their trees will be able to absorb the water they will need to make it through the season when they get home.

To prevent the base of the tree from drying out, the tree should be placed in water the moment it gets home. Freshly cut trees may initially need the water in their tree stands filled in the morning and then again in the evening. As the season progresses trees likely will not need their stands filled more than once per day.

The tree should be placed away from heat sources. Placing trees away from heat sources, such as radiators, fireplaces, heating vents, and lights, reduces the likelihood that trees will dry out and also reduces the risk of fire.

Pure Quality Equals Pure Water

If it is not possible to cut one’s own tree, the National Fire Protection Association notes that fresh trees should have green needles that do not come off when touched. Trees that appear to be dried out or those that shed needles when touched should be avoided.

The Tree Care Industry Association advises consumers to protect their Christmas trees as they transport them home. The tree should be wrapped in a plastic wrap so it makes it home damage-free. A damaged tree might not make it through the holiday season.

Pre-cut trees should be cut again before leaving the lot. Precut trees can make it through the holiday season looking their best, but buyers should request that employees cut as much as two inches off the bottom of the tree before leaving the lot. Once trees are cut, sap begins to seal their base, making it hard for

Skin Protection Information Posted The first line of defense against this sun damage is clothing. Covering up is easier in the winter, because it is cold, but the face, head, and neck tend to remain exposed year-round, and this is where most skin cancers occur. People should not forget their UV-blocking sunglasses and broad-brimmed hat before heading out. Sunglasses protect the eyes while also fighting snow glare, and a hat keeps the head warm while keeping UV rays from damaging the scalp.

A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher should be applied daily to all exposed skin.

People should make sure to cover often-missed spots like the tops of their ears, around the eyes, and near the hairline. Individuals should consider choosing a moisturizing sunscreen with ingredients like lanolin or glycerin to combat dry winter skin. Finally, people should try to avoid the peak sun hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. and seek shade when they can.

It is easy to associate vigilant sun protection with summertime, when the sun is shining intensely.

However, sun protection is necessary every day, regardless of the weather or time of year.

Even when it is cold or overcast, UV rays that cause skin aging and skin cancer are reaching the skin.

In the right winter weather conditions, people can sustain sun damage just as easily as during the summer.

UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn, are the strongest in the summer. However, UVB rays can burn and damage skin year-round, especially at high altitudes and on reflective surfaces such as snow or ice. Snow reflects up to 80 percent of the sun’s UV light, so the rays hit twice, further increasing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.

UVA rays remain constant throughout the year and can penetrate through clouds and fog. UVA rays can also penetrate glass, so it is still possible to damage skin while spending a bright winter day indoors.

App Created To Address Opioid Addiction The winners of the 2018 Code4PA codeathon have created a mobile app that provides users with personalized recommendations for opioid addiction treatment. The winners were selected from 28 projects developed by teams of participants from across the state. More than 350 technology professionals, addiction and recovery experts, college students, state officials and others took part in this year’s Code4PA, which kicked off on Sept. 20 in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. The teams returned on Oct. 20 to demonstrate their projects for judging.

The app, called Care4PA, suggests services and treatment providers based on information provided by the user such as his or her location and insurance provider. Users can also view other patients’ ratings of providers. Over

time, the app will use this feedback to refine and improve recommendations. The app also provides state officials with insight into provider performance and utilization.

Participants used opioid data from the state open data portal and other sources, as well as mobile, GIS and other technologies to develop app prototypes, data visualizations and other tools focused on prevention, rescue and recovery.

The winning team is made up of Chaitanya Dedhiya, Aniket Gode, Ilsa Snyder, Jahnavi Deshmukh and Pratik Sawant from the Harrisburg area. They will receive special recognition, including a meet-and-greet with Gov. Tom Wolf, networking with commonwealth executives and publicity through press and social media. In addition to the grand prize winner, special prizes were awarded for Best Use Innovation, Best Team, Best Use of

Dataset/API, Best Use Case, Best Use of Geospatial Technology and Best Prototype or App Design.

Code4PA is hosted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in partnership with Harrisburg University of Science and Technology, Code for Philly, Technology Council

for Central Pennsylvania, Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center, University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, Heinz College/Carnegie Mellon University and industry sponsors.

For more information, readers may visit www.code4pa.tech.

Competitors in the 2018 Code4PA codeathon shared information about their projects. The winners created a mobile app that provides users with personalized recommendations for opioid addiction treatment.
