Pumped up: Breastfeeding mothers fight for rights at work
By Allison Yarrow, NBC News contributor
When Bobbi Bockoras returned to work at a Port Allegany, Pa., glass factory in June 2013 after giving birth, she planned to pump breast milk during breaks so she could continue nursing her infant daughter Lyla.
The 31-year-old palletizer operator knew that pumping at work — in a clean, private, non-bathroom space — was her right under a provision of the 2010 Affordable Care Act (ACA). “I was going to breastfeed, and no one was going to stop me,” she said.
But Bockoras says that Saint-Gobain Verallia North America, the company where she has worked for six years, did not follow the law. Supervisors first told her to pump in a bathroom, she says, and after she protested, they suggested alternatives that also failed to meet federal requirements. Bockoras agreed to use a locker room but says it was covered in dirt and dead bugs and lacked air conditioning. Read more...

Thompson Statement on Internal Revenue Service Decision to Protect Volunteer Firefighters from Health Care Law
Administration Pledges Fair Treatment for Volunteer Emergency Responders
BELLEFONTE, Pa. – U.S. Representative Glenn 'GT' Thompson (PA-5) tonight issued the following statement in response to the announcement by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) concerning the treatment of volunteer firefighters under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
"Our local emergency volunteer organizations deserve to have this situation clarified and settled, and today's announcement by the Treasury Department and IRS is a step in the right direction. I look forward to reviewing the formal ruling, which is expected to be issued in the near future, and will work to ensure the final determination provides certainty to our local emergency organizations and the populations they protect."
Background:
Under the ACA’s employer mandate, volunteer organizations with 50 or more employees could be forced to provide health insurance or pay penalties. On December 11, 2013, Thompson and fellow House colleagues introduced the Protecting Volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Responders Act (H.R. 3685), which would ensure that emergency services volunteers are not counted as full-time employees under the ACA’s employer mandate.
The U.S. Treasury Department and the IRS today announced plans to address how volunteer firefighting organizations will be treated under the ACA in forthcoming regulations, stating “final regulations relating to employer shared responsibility generally will not require volunteer hours of bona fide volunteer firefighters and volunteer emergency medical personnel at governmental or tax-exempt organizations to be counted when determining full-time employees (or full-time equivalents).”

... Flood Watch in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening...
The National Weather Service in State College has issued a
* Flood Watch for central Pennsylvania.
* From Saturday afternoon through Sunday evening.
* Warming temperatures this weekend will lead to sufficient
melting and ice break-up on waterways in central Pennsylvania.
The combination of potential ice jams and forecast rainfall
amounts between 0.50 and 1 inch could result in flooding.
* Ice jams can form quickly and cause sharp backwater rises
especially on smaller streams and where tributaries flow into
main Stem rivers.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding on small
streams... creeks... poor drainage... urban and low-lying areas
based on current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.

PennDOT Temporarily Waives Certain Restrictions on Commercial Drivers Hauling Heating Oil, Propane Gas
To ensure that much-needed heating fuel can reach Pennsylvanians with no interruptions, PennDOT has temporarily waived certain restrictions on commercial drivers to allow for the smooth delivery of heating oil and propane gas to homes and businesses for heating purposes.
“With the repeated winter-weather events and bitterly cold temperatures Pennsylvania has endured recently, Governor Corbett has acted quickly so homeowners and businesses see no interruption in having their heating needs met,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. “This temporary waiver will allow drivers some extra time behind the wheel and avoid potential delivery delays.”
The action temporarily waives the normal federal hours of service requirements for drivers of trucks carrying these goods. Drivers usually must take a mandatory rest period after 11 hours behind the wheel. The limit for driving hours is extended to 14 hours.
Exemption is also granted from the requirements of the 60/70-hour limits rule. The 60/70-hour limits rule requires drivers to stop driving upon accumulating 60 or 70 on-duty hours (including all on-duty and driving time) over a period of seven or eight consecutive days, respectively. Any period of seven or eight consecutive days may end with the beginning of any off-duty period of 34 or more consecutive hours.
The waiver will remain in place through Jan. 25.

Weather permitting, on Monday, Jan. 13, the contractor will set the last round of beams for the eastbound river bridge.
There will be rolling roadblocks in the eastbound lanes of I-80 to slow traffic from mile 236 (Lightstreet Exit) to mile 241 (Berwick Exit) while the beams are picked from the eastbound lanes of I-80 and set on the eastbound river bridge under construction.

Photography 101
Did your new camera come with an instruction book nearly as thick as the Bible, and all you
want to do is make good images? We have the solution. In this two-hour class, instructor Curt
Weinhold eliminates the confusion around setting up your camera, and he explains that sometimes difficult-to-access menu system. Also covered will be composition and the best lighting, whether your subject is a scenic vista or a person. Please bring a camera with fully charged battery and a memory card.
This class is scheduled for Tuesday, January 21, 2014, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at the Coudersport office of the Potter County Education Council. The cost is $20 per person. Register online at www.pottercountyedcouncil.org or call (814) 545-1333.
