Watching out for heat wave hazards
BY ADRIAN ESCHENWALD
According to www.extreme weatherwatch.com, the hottest day in Lancaster County’s recorded history was Aug. 7, 1918, when the temperature peaked at a staggering 107 degrees. This record remains unbroken, but June’s heat wave battered the county with temperatures higher than anything the area has experienced in recent years. Although the extreme weather has affected every part of the county, residents of rural townships may face different hazards than others who live in the suburbs, and certain populations are more vulnerable to severe heat.
On its website, www.noaa .gov, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration states that heat is one of the primary causes of weather-related deaths in the United States, causing more than 1,000 deaths every year. NOAA also lists newborns, pregnant women, elderly persons and individuals with chronic illnesses as groups that are more susceptible to serious health issues in hot conditions. Extreme heat events have been associated with birth outcomes such as low birth weight and congenital cataracts, and young children’s bodies are not able to adapt to heat as well as most adults. The NOAA encourages individuals to practice heat safety by limiting time spent doing outdoor activities, staying hydrated and double-checking
their vehicles to make sure children and pets are never left unattended inside.
There are many ways all residents of Lancaster County can practice heat safety, but some areas pose a different threat than others during periods of excessive heat. Suburban neighborhoods in Landisville, Willow Street and Millersville contain more square footage of pavement and concrete than townships that are less developed. The NOAA warns drivers that paved roads are susceptible to deterioration and buckling from excessive
heat, and asphalt can become hot enough to burn pets’ paws after it is exposed to direct sunlight. Residents of the county’s rural communities such as Buck, Refton and Marticville may beat the heat in shady forests and cool creeks, but help is less accessible to those who are separated from their neighbors by several acres of land. Local emergency service organizations encourage community members to help make the Southern End safe by checking in on elderly neighbors and people whose homes do not have air conditioning.
“If you’re outside and you’re thirsty in that kind of heat, it’s too late,” said Andrew Gilger, Lancaster EMS’ performance improvement officer. “The key to avoiding heat injuries is staying ahead of it. Drink lots of water and take breaks when you know you need it.”
Forecasts predict that slightly cooler days will arrive in upcoming weeks, but experts urge the public to keep heat safety in mind and to remain on the lookout for advisories from local weather agencies and emergency service organizations this summer.

Like many parts of the Southern End, Quarryville is home to scenic landscapes, sprawling fields and thick forests. The area is rife with places to hike, camp, picnic and enjoy the outdoors, but as many local residents have recently noticed, the town of Quarryville itself has few places where pet owners can let their dogs off-leash. After a local dog owner brought the issue the Quarryville Borough Council’s attention, council member Susan Noel began working on a plan to establish a space for the Southern End’s furry friends.
In March, Noel and five other members of the borough council formed a committee to conceptualize a new dog park, and they presented their design to Quarryville Borough’s streets, infrastructure and parks committee. The committee unanimously approved moving the plan to the council in April, asking Noel’s committee to conduct a survey to get the public’s opinion on the matter. The survey was held on the borough’s website and Facebook

page, and it received more than 100 responses; only eight of them were opposed to the idea.
“There’s no place here for people to let their dogs off-leash. The borough doesn’t allow it just anywhere, and the nearest dog park is 20 minutes away in Oxford,” Noel said. “I think it would add another community asset to Quarryville, and it would help dogs stay healthier and socialize.”
residents, answer questions and present the potential dog park design. The meeting took place at the Quarryville Borough building on June 10, and the council passed the proposal on the same day.
The proposed location is on the northeast side of the Southern End Community Association’s (SECA) pool, where a large open area runs nearly all the way to Route 472.
Following the survey, members of the council requested a town hall meeting to offer information to Quarryville
Reading Railroad Days planned
The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, 300 Gap Road, Strasburg, will highlight the historic Reading Railroad during Reading Railroad Days on Wednesday to Saturday, July 3 to 6. Reading Railroad Days will take place during regular museum hours and is included in the regular museum admission.
A detailed HO-scale model train layout of the Reading Railroad, operated by members of the Reading Company Technical & Historical Society, is a centerpiece in the museum’s climate-controlled Rolling Stock Hall. Visitors also may view Reading Company equipment from the museum’s premier collection, including the 106-year-old tank engine No. 1251, multiple unit car No. 800, Crusader observation car No. 1, and the 1928 turntable.
In its heyday, the Reading Company was a multifaceted industrial giant. Originally established as the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad in 1833 to transport anthracite coal, the pioneering 94-mile line evolved into a large corporation serving eastern Pennsylvania as well as New Jersey and Delaware. Operations included coal mining, iron making, canal and sea-going transportation, and shipbuilding. With its complex of shops for locomotive and car building and repair, and constant advances in railroad technology, the company held a position of leadership in the railroad industry for over a century.
For more information about the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, visit www .rrmuseumpa.org or call 717-687-8628.
Now that the council has passed the design plan for the dog park, Noel and fellow committee members are proceeding to the fundraising stage of the project. The borough plans to fundraise the resources needed to create the park to avoid cutting into its standard budget. Noel said possible fundraisers include a joint event with SECA’s annual Doggie Dip at the end of the summer and selling small metal bones that community members can purchase. Each bone would be engraved with the name of a pet and placed on a fence at the new park.

Home food preservation workshops slated
Penn State Extension will offer three workshops in Lancaster County this summer aimed at both new and experienced home food preservers. All workshops will take place in the training room in the basement of the Farm and Home Center, 1383 Arcadia Road, Lancaster.
The programs will be Jams and Jellies on Wednesday, July 17, from 10 a.m. to noon.; Pressure Canning on Wednesday, July 24, from 9 a.m. to noon; and Introduction to Drying on Thursday, Aug. 29, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Pressure Canning will cover the basics of using a pressure canner based on current U.S. Department of Agriculture canning guidelines. Pressure canning is the only safe way to can low-acid foods, such as vegetables and meats, organizers noted.
Introduction to Drying will highlight various methods for drying fruits, vegetables, herbs, and meats to ensure a safe and delicious outcome. These methods include oven drying, using a dehydrator, microwave drying, and air drying.

PA Turnpike kicks off safety campaign
The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike) kicked off its annual Go Orange campaign, an education and awareness campaign that showcases the PA Turnpike’s commitment to safety and urges drivers to slow down, pay attention in work zones, and consider the vulnerability of highway workers. The campaign will run until October and will include a special commemoration remembering those who have died in the line of duty.
More than 40 PA Turnpike workers have died while performing their duties. Beyond the devastating impact that reckless driving can have on others, drivers can receive citations, warnings, fines, points on their license, and jail time.
The PA Turnpike operates more than 560 miles of roadway, and more than 200 million people travel on the turnpike every year. Despite a record-breaking low of traffic fatalities in 2019 and fewer cars on the road in 2020, deaths on Pennsylvania roadways increased from 2019 to 2022.
Safety is a top priority and core value for the PA Turnpike. As part of its commitment to safety, PA Turnpike operates a variety of safety initiatives, including the Work Zone Speed Safety Camera Program, five district safety
committees, and Safety Days for its employees.
The GEICO Safety Patrol is another initiative of the PA Turnpike, providing a fleet of safety patrol vehicles that provide roadside assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to customers who use the turnpike.
The patrol actively surveils the roadway, responds to incidents, and communicates with the Turnpike Operations Center regarding any other needed response. Customers can access this assistance by dialing *11 when on the turnpike.
The PA Turnpike kicked off the Go Orange campaign by displaying its Lost Worker Memorial outside turnpike headquarters, and the memorial will be displayed during the summer at various spots throughout Pennsylvania. The PA Turnpike encourages its
