PennDOT offers driveway plowing information
Don’t Get Plowed In
PennDOT offers driveway plowing information
Clearfield – Winter weather is here, making it challenging to keep your driveway entrance open. Having your driveway entrance plowed shut can be easily avoided. At the end of your driveway, as you face the street, clear an area to the left of your driveway entrance that’s about the width of the driveway entrance and about three feet back from the street. The plow truck will be able to empty snow into this cleared space.
Keeping an area to the left of the driveway entrance clear of snow will keep the driveway entrance open and allow you a better view of oncoming traffic before entering the street or highway.
PennDOT also reminds motorists that it is illegal to deposit snow or ice onto a state highway or any public roadway. If you are clearing snow, please—do not place it out onto the road.
If you are plowing and pushing snow across a road, please make sure to remove all windrows. A windrow is a long, low ridge of excess material (such as built-up snow). PennDOT is committed to providing the best service possible throughout winter. Responsible plowing and driveway clearing by residents and motorists is greatly appreciated.

Pennsylvania Home Heating Crisis Grants Available Jan. 2
Pennsylvania Home Heating Crisis Grants Available Jan. 2
HARRISBURG, Pa., The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, also known as LIHEAP, will start offering crisis grants on Jan. 2 to provide emergency home heating support to those struggling to heat their home this winter.
"The crisis grants are the second phase of the department's LIHEAP program, which has been offering cash grants since Nov. 1," Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare Secretary Gary D. Alexander said. "We open the crisis program in January as the temperatures in Pennsylvania really begin to plummet and heating one's home becomes a lifesaving measure."
The LIHEAP crisis grants are in place to address heating emergencies such as broken heating equipment, a lack of fuel, or a danger of being without fuel. To expedite the crisis grant process, the department recommends completing an application online at www.compass.state.pa.us. Paper applications are still available through local county assistance offices, or interested applicants can download and print an application from the department's website.
"Households who have already received a cash grant this year and find themselves in a heating emergency do not need to complete another application," Alexander said. "As long as they have not had a change in address or number of people in their household, they can simply call their local county assistance office to request the crisis grant."
For helpful tips on how to keep your home warm throughout the winter while saving money on utility costs, the department suggests visiting www.energysavers.gov.
For more information on the LIHEAP program, or to download an application, visit the Department of Public Welfare's website at www.dpw.state.pa.us and click on "For Adults."

GAME COMMISSION OFFERS SEEDLINGS FOR LANDOWNERS
GAME COMMISSION OFFERS SEEDLINGS FOR LANDOWNERS
HARRISBURG
– While it may be winter, now is the time for landowners to begin
making plans to help wildlife by to planting tree and shrub seedlings
offered by the Pennsylvania Game Commission’s Howard Nursery, which will
begin Jan. 7 through April 19.
“If
you are looking for seedlings for ornamental landscaping, look for a
private nursery in your area,” said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission
executive director. “However, our bare-root seedlings are produced for
use to improve wildlife habitat on State Game Lands and
private-landowners enrolled in our Hunter-Access Program. These
seedlings also are used to help educate Pennsylvania students about
wildlife habitat needs through our ‘Seedlings for Schools’ program.
“We
also are able to offer a limited number of surplus seedlings for sale
to the general public to help with their own private efforts to improve
wildlife habitat conditions on their property. This effort is part of
our agency’s mission to manage wildlife and its habitat for current and
future generations.”
New
this year is an improved order form to help guide landowners seeking to
create habitat for specific wildlife species, as well as a new “bundle”
offering. Bundle offerings include 100 seedlings in a specified mix to
benefit deer, game birds and songbirds, as well as riparian and
winter-thermal habitats.
The order form and information are available on the agency’s website (www.pgc.state.pa.us)
by putting your cursor on “General Store” in the menu bar at the top of
the homepage, then clicking on “Howard Nursery” in the drop-down menu
listing and scrolling down and choosing “2013 Seedling Order Form.”
(NOTE: If you have problems downloading the order form, you likely need
to install the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be
found doing an internet search and downloaded for free.)
The
order form can be completed and submitted on line, or printed out and
faxed or mailed. Payments are not due until the order is confirmed by
Howard Nursery. For those without internet access, order forms can be
obtained at Game Commission offices or various displays or booths at
shows in which the agency participates through the spring or by sending a
self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Howard Nursery, 197 Nursery Road,
Howard, PA 16841.
“Seedlings
are available for purchase by landowners are suitable for a variety of
uses as wildlife food and cover, including hard- and soft-mast
production, winter thermal cover and riparian habitats,” said Annetta
Ayers, Howard Nursery superintendent.
“The
Howard Nursery strives to offer the finest available tree and shrub
seedlings that best provide for the various needs of wildlife, including
food and shelter. All of our stock is inspected annually by the state
Department of Agriculture.
Ayers
noted that the nursery sells seedlings in units/bundles of 25. Orders
of 12 more total units receive discounted pricing. Prices are as low as
$3.75 per unit of 25 seedlings (15 cents each). The new bundles for
deer, game birds and songbirds, and winter-thermal habitats, sell for
$25; the riparian habitat bundle sells for $30.
Some seedling types are on very limited supplies, so those interested will want to call Howard Nursery at (814) 355-4434. Hours of operation are Monday thru Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Ayers
noted that, for evergreens, 1,000 seedlings planted at the recommended
tree spacing of eight feet by eight feet will occupy 1.5 acres.
Planting space for hardwood trees should be a minimum of eight feet by
eight feet and up to 15 feet by 15 feet, depending on species. For
hardwoods, 100 trees will occupy one-quarter acre, and 1,000 seedlings
will occupy 2.5 acres. The various shrub species can be planted on a six
foot by six foot or eight foot by eight foot pattern.
A
description of each species available, along with size information, is
available on the website under “Tree Seedling Index.” Some of the new
native shrubs are available in limited quantities and are expected to
sell out quickly. The selection of native trees and shrubs is being
expanded annually. With the exception of black locust, all of the
hardwoods are grown from seed collected and processed by Game Commission
personnel from Pennsylvania sources.
The
preferred method of delivery is by United Parcel Service (UPS).
Shipping and handling charges do apply. This is very efficient and most
orders are received next day. Orders are shipped only Monday through
Wednesday to assure delivery for weekend planting. However, orders also
may be picked up in person at the nursery once notified the order is
ready.
“Due
to conditions beyond our control, such as ice and snow, wet weather,
frozen ground, we may not be able to ship trees as early as we would
like,” Ayers said. “We will do everything we can at the nursery to
ensure timely shipping and arrival of trees. Generally, seedlings ship
in the month of April.”
For more information, contact the Howard Nursery, 197 Nursery Road, Howard, PA 16841, telephone (814) 355-4434. Hours of operation are Monday thru Friday 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
The
Game Commission’s Howard Nursery produces bare-root seedlings for
wildlife food and cover on State Game Lands. The nursery has been
producing and distributing 2.2 to 6 million seedlings annually for
wildlife food and cover since 1954. Landowners who have land open to
public hunting and are enrolled in one of the Commission’s public access
programs are eligible to receive up to 500 free seedlings annually, as
available. Those enrolled cooperators with more than 500 acres are
eligible for one free seedling per acre enrolled up to a maximum of
10,000 seedlings annually, as available. Cooperators are provided an
order form each fall for following spring delivery. Free seedling
orders are taken only in the fall through local Wildlife Conservation
Officers (WCOs) and Land Management Group Supervisors (LMGS).

Pastor Roger Wagner: From Bethlehem to Bedlam
Galeton Presbyterian Church News, 12-30-12
by Martha Pennell, mpennell@northernpottersd.org
(H) 435-1381 (W) 848-7563
Pastor Roger Wagner was our guest speaker on 12-30-12.
During his sermon, “From Bethlehem to Bedlam,” Pastor Wagner stated that toward the end of the calendar year there are two days that cannot arrive quickly enough for him, and two days that he would prefer to skip altogether.
The first day he looks forward to is December 21st, the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Culminating the loss of one to two minutes of daylight each day for the past six months, that loss will reverse and continue for the next six months.
The second day is December 24th, Christmas Eve, where there is an ambiance of serenity and tranquility for a few brief hours. Peace and quietness prevail. It includes children, with their sense of anticipation. According to Pastor Wagner, His coming means more light. He came to dispel the darkness. With darkness comes serenity and silence. Even the larger world is willing to pause for a span of silence on Christmas Eve.
The day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, is a day you will not find Pastor Wagner in any store. The second day he would choose to avoid is New Year’s Eve. Noise and Bedlam are the antithesis of silence, and are seen as an escape by some to avoid seeing things clearly.
The distance from Bethlehem to Bedlam is not that great, according to Pastor Wagner. Exercise caution, if the road from Bethlehem to Bedlam is gone there is no clue how to get back. May God help us all. On the cusp of Bedlam, let us sense God’s presence!
Henry Lush was lay leader; Buddy Sutton and George Raymer were ushers. Jean Lush and Martha Pennell were Communion servers. Prayer family for the week is Vernon and Connie Osgood, Jr.
Pastor Thomas Shatto will lead the congregations of First Presbyterian and Saint Paul’s Lutheran during 2013; he begins to preach on January 6, 2012. A fellowship supper with our new pastor will be held at 4 pm that day in St. Paul’s fellowship hall. All are welcome!

Regional Network News
BOLIVAR — Bolivar and Richburg firefighters knocked the fire down quickly, said Bolivar Fire Chief James Beaton, but there was little that could be saved Thursday at a residence on Friendship Street.
Beaton said the fire at the home of Oscar and Joyce Gaines was accidental. It started at the stove, investigators determined. The trailer was still standing, but is not livable, Beaton said.
“The major damage was to the kitchen area — a lot of smoke and heat damage to the rest of the trailer,” he said. “Nobody was home at the time.”
