Thanks from Sophia
Thanks For Support For SophiaOn behalf of sunshineforsophia.org and the family of Sophia Cizek, we would like to thank everyone for their support while our precious baby was sick.
Your generosity made it possible for Mom and Dad to be with Sophia for extended periods while she was a resident at Geisinger and after her bone marrow transplant at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Sophia wanted to tell you that she is doing well today, even though
she is a little on the petite side. (less than the 5th percentile for 19 months). And she gets a little itchy sometimes from the Bone Marrow transplant. But other than that she’s a happy, cheerful baby who is learning new stuff every day. She’s full of sass and isn’t afraid to speak her mind, even with her limited vocabulary, She’s a pretty good at getting her point across. Oh and her hair is growing back, it’s not exactly stylish at this point but it’s getting there.
Sophia is walking and talking (and signing) and loves to play with her best friend Guinness, She has been outside to check out the snow and she loves her new helmet that she got so she can go 4 wheeling with Daddy. Sophia doesn’t go anywhere without her frog binky and her Dora doll who have been two of her best buds forever.
Our Journey continues with regular monthly visits to Geisinger and CHOP for checkups and procedures, Sophia is happy that she is finally big enough to sit facing forward in the car since there is so much more to see.
Again, We would also like to thank everyone who has had us in your thoughts or who has said a prayer or a kind word. The outpouring of support for Sophia has been truly overwhelming.

DEP Announces Tire Pile Cleanup Projects
DEP Announces Tire Pile Cleanup Projects
Agency Seeks Bids for Site Remediation
HARRISBURG -- The Department of Environmental Protection has initiated two projects to clean up an estimated 400,000 abandoned tires at piles in Lancaster and Beaver counties.
HARRISBURG -- The Department of Environmental Protection has initiated two projects to clean up an estimated 400,000 abandoned tires at piles in Lancaster and Beaver counties.
DEP’s Waste Tire Program developed a priority list of 17 abandoned tire sites in need of remediation, based on a number of environmental and hazardous criteria. Topping the list was the McFadden pile containing 350,000 tires in Fulton Township, Lancaster County; and the 50,000-tire pile at Jake Ours Junkyard in Rochester Township, Beaver County.
“Cleaning up these sites, which have been long-standing nuisances, is of great interest to the state,” acting DEP Secretary Michael Krancer said. “These sites have been the subject of frequent complaints and we’re taking action.”
Tire piles are fertile breeding sites for mosquitoes and can also pose a contamination risk to the surrounding ground, water and air in the event of a fire.
Cleanup of the abandoned tire piles will be the first two projects funded by Act 24 of 2010 as set forth by the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act. The law allocates $1.25 million annually over four consecutive years for tire cleanup projects.
The department is seeking professional contractual bids for services and “Invitation for Bid” documents are available on the state’s eMarketplace Web site.

Corporal Sean Batterson (shown) from the Pennsylvania State Police barracks on Denton Hill was among the presenters. Approximately 70 township and borough representatives participated. Municipal officials learned how they can work with police to improve enforcement of laws pertaining to public safety and protection of roads and bridges from damage due to overweight and oversized vehicles.
Potter County Planning Director Charlotte Dietrich, who organized the workshop, distributed copies of a sample ordinance townships and boroughs might want to consider to regulate the travel of oversize or overweight vehicles on municipal-owned roads. She can be reached for more information at 274-8254.
Corporal Batterson emphasized that state police are willing to patrol the roads where violations are likely to occur and issue citations, but townships also have responsibilities. “The most important thing to remember is that we’re doing this for safety and to protect our roads,” he said. “We’ve seen these developments already in Bradford and Tioga counties. It’s a learning process for all of us and there are going to be some growing pains.” State Police and the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) have also launched Operation FracNET, a dedicated enforcement operation focusing on commercial vehicles hauling equipment and waste water from Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling operations
