Rendell has issued a proclamation declaring April as Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Month and Saturday, April 26, as Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Day, PENNDOT's District 4-0 is joining in the massive effort to do some spring cleaning along our highways. District 4-0 includes Lackawanna, Luzerne, Pike, Susquehanna, Wayne and Wyoming Counties. PENNDOT District 4-0 is looking for volunteers to help Keep Northeastern Pennsylvania Beautiful. The volunteers are needed to take part in PENNDOT's 26th annual Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful (KPB) Day. They'll join thousands of volunteers statewide who will pick up litter on the last Saturday of April. Anyone interested in volunteering for Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful Day, or the Adopt-A-Highway program can contact the KPB/AAH coordinators in these counties: Susquehanna County - Connie Burgh or Jim Griffin- (570) 278-1171; Wayne County - Don Matthews - (570) 253-3130. Traps For Parents, Teens To Avoid Wealth without work; entertainment without conscience; love without limits; freedom without accountability - these are just a few of the false promises promoted by the "toxic" aspects of the culture our adolescents live in each day. The seventh session of "Parent to Parent" explores strategies for avoiding some less-than-obvious traps that children, and parents, can fall into. "Parent to Parent" is an eight-week series of video-based programs being offered to the public each Tuesday evening, from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Page House in Great Bend, from now through April 15. Next Tuesday, April 8 will be the seventh session of the series. This session deals with values, but doesn’t attempt to tell parents what values they should have. It offers ways of identifying what standards or principles are important to parents and helps them find ways to share them with their children and to foster in them the development of similar ideals. The eighth and final session of "Parent to Parent" will be held April 15. "It’s a wonderful wrap up of the program and offers parents a model for helping their children to reach their goals and dreams," asserts TREHAB’s D&A Prevention Supervisor Roselyn Hibbard, the program facilitator. For more information about the "Parent to Parent" program, or to schedule the program in your community, contact Ms. Hibbard at TREHAB in Montrose, at 278-5229, or visit the Page House in Great Bend on Tuesday evenings through April 15. Explore Communicating With Your Teens Parents often think teens must speak a different language, because they just don’t seem to understand what they’re told. The sixth session of the "Parent to Parent" series explores communication methods that may be more effective when trying to reach adolescents. Communication involves both sending and receiving messages, and it should go both ways for all parties involved. "Parent to Parent" is an eight-week series of video-based programs being offered to the public each Tuesday evening, from 6:30 to 7:30 at the TREHAB Page House in Great Bend, from now through April 15. Next Tuesday, April 1 will be the sixth session of the series. This session will help parents to realize that adults and adolescents do indeed communicate differently, but the good news is that adults can learn how to "speak their kids’ language." Even more importantly, teens who feel like they’re being heard, and understood, are much less likely to use alcohol or other drugs – a payoff that many parents feel is worth learning that "second language." For more information about the "Parent to Parent" program, contact D&A Prevention Supervisor Roselyn Hibbard at TREHAB in Montrose, 278-5229, or visit the Page House in Great Bend on Tuesday evenings through April 15.
