Winter safety tips for drivers
The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) has posted winter safety tips for drivers.
People are advised to avoid unnecessary travel during bad weather.
State law requires windows and mirrors to be completely clear to improve visibility. People should also clear their car’s hood, roof, and trunk.
When driving in inclement winter weather, avoid sudden stops and starts, slow down, and increase following distance.
Cruise control should never be used when driving on snow, and drivers should never crowd or pass a plow truck.
If a person’s vehicle is disabled in the lane of travel or stuck in the travel lanes due to snow or ice, the person should remain inside the vehicle with his or her seatbelt on and the hazard lights activated. If it is not safe to remain inside the vehicle, people should assess the situation and get the driver and any passengers to a place of safety such as behind a barrier or guardrail. When exiting a vehicle, move as quickly as possible and do not remain in the travel lanes or near the vehicle.
When driving in winter, it is important to have an emergency kit handy. For suggestions of what to include in an emergency kit, visit https://tinyurl.com/ WinterEmergencyKit.
When encountering a crash scene, drivers are required by law to move over if possible and always slow down. First responders will be active at the scene and focused on helping those involved in the crash and getting the road back open.
In addition, the Pennsylvania State Police has offered advice for anyone involved in a crash.
People should move their vehicle as far as possible from the travel lanes if the vehicle can be driven; remaining in the lanes of travel is extremely dangerous.
If a vehicle cannot be driven due to damage or if one of the involved parties is injured, Pennsylvania law requires that the crash be reported to the police. To report an accident, dial 911 right away.
Motorists can check conditions on more than 40,000 roadway miles across the commonwealth, 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 1,000 traffic cameras.
To report an incident or other emergency on the PA Turnpike, dial *11 via mobile phone.
Conflict resolution trainings posted
Advoz has planned four conflict resolution trainings. Conflict, Communication and Culture (CCC) will be conducted via Zoom from Wednesday, Jan. 22, 2025, to Friday, Jan. 24, from 3 to 6 p.m. This introductory course is a prerequisite to mediation and facilitation trainings with Advoz. The training aims to help participants develop their own conflict style with collaborative tools to resolve conflict in healthy, effective ways, navigating trauma, bias, culture, and blocks to effective listening.
Basic Mediation Training will be offered from Tuesday, Jan. 28, to Saturday, Feb. 1. The program will mix online and in-person learning for a total of 24 hours. Participants will learn and practice the facilitative model of dispute mediation, including a range of mediation techniques adaptable to resolving a wide range of disputes. Attendees will learn about navigating ethical issues particularly relevant to practicing mediation in Pennsylvania. This training emphasizes practicing in numerous roleplay scenarios to ensure quality practice and skill development. The CCC training is a prerequisite.
Group Circle Process Training will be held from Wednesday to Friday, Feb. 19 to 21. TIMES Attendees will learn to build community and address tough issues and harmful incidents in groups of five to 20 people using the restorative circle process. Drawing from indigenous traditions of inclusive and structured group methods, the circle process requires facilitator skills both to guide and to trust the group’s capacity for addressing its needs and challenges. The CCC is a prerequisite.
Restorative Justice (“Victim-Offender”) Volunteer Facilitator Training will occur from Tuesday, April 29, to Saturday, May 17. The program equips volunteers to help youths who have caused harm to take responsibility directly with the victims of their crimes to cultivate a resilient and responsible generation of young people. The interactive training will equip participants to facilitate restorative conferencing dialogue and to understand the local juvenile criminal-legal systems in which that dialogue takes place. The CCC course is a prerequisite.
For more information and to register, visit https://advoz.org/ training/.
Promise Players set auditions
The Promise Players will hold auditions on Saturday, Jan. 4, 2025, from 1 to 9 p.m. for
“Muddled Memories,” which will be performed on Thursdays to Sundays, March 20 to 23 and 27 to 30. This musical will offer a lighthearted look at Bible memories with something muddled in the middle, including a monkey, an emu, and a super man.
Singing and speaking roles are available for anyone ages 10 to 100. Auditions will be held at Lampeter Church of the Brethren, 1900 Lampeter Road, Lancaster. Those auditioning will be asked to read from the script and sing the first verse of “Amazing Grace.”
For more information, contact director Dorothy Smith at musicditdot@hotmail.com and note “Promise Players Auditions” in the subject line.
Tree Tenders training planned
Penn State Extension will offer a Tree Tenders training webinar series on Wednesdays, Jan. 8 to Feb. 19, from noon to 1 p.m. Through the Tree Tenders training program, developed by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) in partnership with Penn State Extension Urban Foresters, people may gain the skills needed to restore and care for their community’s tree canopy. Individuals learn how to plant, prune, and maintain trees.
Tree Tenders work to increase environmental health and sustainability, enhance green spaces, and increase tree cover in neighborhoods across Pennsylvania.
Since 1993, PHS has trained thousands of Tree Tenders in more than 200 neighborhoods across Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources has supported the program since 2004. In 2008, the program expanded to Pittsburgh and smaller metropolitan areas, and by 2013, it became available statewide. Since then, thousands more have been trained throughout Pennsylvania and beyond.
Each participant will receive a printed copy of the Tree Tenders Handbook, published by PHS.
To register by Friday, Jan. 3, visit https:// extension.psu.edu/ and search for “Tree Tenders Training.”
