The Pennsylvania House is broadening and advancing a consumer data privacy bill. WITF’s Jordan Wilkie reports it would allow Pennsylvanians to ask companies to not collect certain data and have them delete other data already on-hand. A Johnstown-based mining company has gotten the go-ahead to expand an underground coal mine in Westmoreland County. LCT Energy operates the 2800-acre Rustic Ridge “Number One” coal mine in Donegal, just south of the Pennsylvania Turnpike exit there. The company recently got approval from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to expand the mine northward, underneath the Turnpike. Reid Frazier, from our friends at the Allegheny Front, reports opponents of the project worry about the potential for environmental damage. Dauphin County officials admit a 911 dispatcher did not appropriately escalate a call in accordance with county policy, early Sunday morning, April 13th, an hour after an arson attack on the Governor's Residence. Campgrounds, boat ramps, welcome centers and other recreational facilities run by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in six states are being closed or seeing hours reduced due to funding cuts by the Trump administration. The cuts include Blue Marsh Lake located near Reading, in Berks County. Mike Sullivan’s nearly decade-long tenure running the Pittsburgh Penguins is over. The team announced Monday that it was parting ways with the two-time Stanley Cup winning coach just over a week after the Penguins missed out on the playoffs for a third straight season. And the Hershey Bears open their Calder Cup playoff run this week. Game one is Wednesday night in Hershey, versus the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in an Atlantic Division best-of-five semifinal series. Hershey is seeking its 14th AHL championship overall. Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Local students create mural for a Pennsylvania Turnpike Plaza

Each service plaza along the Pennsylvania Turnpike now contains a mural depicting landscapes and attractions in their areas. The murals were created by local high school students under a program called Art Sparks, a joint effort of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Turnpike Commission. Mark Compton, CEO of the Turnpike Commission, says they want to make the service plazas more welcoming to visitors. “As we see it, about 550 ,000 travelers use this system every day and very few ever get off the system other than where their destination is. So, we wanted to make sure that some of the beautiful places around the Turnpike were able to be viewed from the service plaza, and that really was why we did what we did.” Jamie Dunlap of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts says this project had a huge impact on the students. “It's given them a chance to be a part of the creation of public art that is community driven and to work with a professional artist and to have that experience and to work with a client to then have amazing artwork produced at the end that is installed.” Dana Attivo is an art teacher on the very first mural project. The project took a few years, however, it brought the students together while creating the mural. “It's been quite a few years since we've done this, but we were super excited to participate, and one of the things that, speaking of the benefits that I noticed in my classroom is that group specifically, we had some small groups. We had a couple of friend groups that would come in and hang out with each other, and most of them were juniors that were working on the project. And by their senior year, it created such a different, tight -knit community in our classroom, because they all had to work together with each other. They weren't just coming in and doing their own thing. So we really loved the opportunity to put some work out into our community. We really loved the community that it created in our own classroom, and we loved the opportunity to work with a professional artist.” Katie Trainer and her students were the final group to create their murals. Trainers believe it forced her students to learn about local landscapes in their religion. “So getting them involved with the design, like what's important to you guys? You can't like at first all the students seem to be hesitant, like, oh, what do you mean Shippensburg is important? And it's like, well, no, it's what's like good. What's the value of your heritage or your town? What are some of the iconic buildings or what do you guys like to do? And so, getting them invested in the community aspect is always a very big deal. And from there, I can kind of find the common themes of what they've chosen to express and merge them together, figure out how it makes sense and then get painting.” Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

She got a phone call about a pig that fell off of a slaughter truck on the Turnpike and Amy brought her to the ranch. She was very injured from falling off of the truck  and Amy was worried that she wasn't going to make it. She just laid in the stall for 2 days and she slowly started to get better and is doing great now. She was checked out by the vet and was given medication for an infection. She built a space for her within a few days thanks to a friend and many donations. She has Maggie and Honey Bee in a nice area where they can see each other but not accidentally hurt each other. Amy had 6 pigs but recently had 2 adopted so now she has 4. Oogie and Boogie started acting up when they would smell Honey Bee go into heat. Amy knew that she needed to do something better for them so she started talking more about them to try to get them adopted. Out of nowhere the perfect family saw a video of her feeding them apples and  the family decided that they wanted to adopt both boys. They got their property ready for Oogie and Boogie and then called Amy to tell them that they are ready to bring them home. So now Amy only has 4 pigs and has an open space for whatever is next to come. Amy is determined to make sure that her families are educated on their specific animal that they adopt from her so that they are set up for success and dont need to come back to the ranch. Amy has over 140 animals on her ranch that she has rescued. Amy tells us how she ended up with over 60 bunnies that needed to be rescued and how she cared for them and set a plan to get them adopted. Amy shares that everything is going well on the ranch but she will always need some form of help. The need for a rescue will always be there so she will always be busy on her ranch but she is very aware of what her limit is. She is always looking for volunteers to come help out at the ranch. She is always looking for bunny brushers a couple times a year.   ***Listen to this episode for a special message from me***   Amy's links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rebelrescueranch Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rebelrescueranch Website: www.rebelrescueranch.com   Autumn's Links:  Website: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/ Email: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Educational Membership Group: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-educational-membership-group Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnacresminipetpigs/ Facebook:  HTTP://Facebook.com/autumnacresminipetpigs Free Community: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs/p/autumn-acres-free-community YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA Stan Store: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Newsletter: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs

In this episode of What Makes You Wonderful, we chat with the delightful Arietta DuPre. Executive Director of Operations for the Sweet Springs Turnpike, DuPre gives us all the details on the trails as well as the history behind them. There's a lot to learn in this episode!  The Fincastle-Sweet Springs Turnpike was designed and completed by the renowned French civil engineer Claudius Crozet in the mid-1800s. It was the best-graded stagecoach turnpike in what was then VA and is still in excellent condition, never exceeding 5% (degrees). And now the portion traversing the Northeast side of Peter's Mountain is a user-friendly, multipurpose nature trail.

The Battle of Chancellorsville raged for more than five hours near the crossroads "town." Fighting in the woods north of the Orange Turnpike was confusing and vicious throughout May 3, 1863. Fires engulfed part of the woods while Robert E. Lee's and Joseph Hooker's armies clashed for control of the Chancellorsville Crossroads. Jeb Stuart pushed the Army of the Potomac from the west, while Robert E. Lee attacked from the east. Join Chris Mackwoski, Sarah Kay Bierle, Steward Henderson, Greg Mertz, and Kris White as they examine this heartbreaking clash of arms at Chancellorsville. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/battlefields/support
