Please Support Our Advertisers Winter 2013 Newsletter 5 Public Works New Procedure for Snow Removal What is salt brine? When is salt brine used? Salt brine is water saturated with sodium chloride, or more simply, rock salt dissolved in water. The Township initiated this anti-icing program in 2012 to take a proactive approach to controlling snow and ice on Tredyffrin roadways. Applying brine to the roadway is similar to spraying a frying pan with oil to keep food from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Salt brine is applied by spraying it onto the pavement up to 72 hours in advance of a winter storm. Why use salt brine? It is anticipated that the cost savings for the Township will be approximately $7,500 per storm, in material costs alone. Salt brine is much more cost effective and brine also allows the Public Works Department to apply during normal working hours. In addition this allows the Township to have our entire routes pretreated before the driving conditions deteriorate. This will help the snow/ice from bonding to the pavement surface. As a result, the roads return to bare pavement much quicker once the storm has ended. 6 Tredyffrin Township What is the pre-treating process? Pre-treating is a snow fighting strategy used in anticipation of road/bridge frost or warmer winter storms (normally above 15° F). If applied just before a winter storm, salt brine will begin working as soon as the first snowflake falls and will help delay the accumulation of snow and ice on the pavement. Please Support Our Advertisers Public Works New Procedure for Snow Removal Motorists can expect to see crews pre-treating the roads with salt brine using the Township's specially modified trucks, with units that slide into the back of a typical plow truck. What should you do when following a vehicle applying salt brine? Vehicles applying salt brine usually travel at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour. Motorists should stay back at least 300 feet from the vehicle. What are the other advantages of using salt brine? Anti-icing returns road surfaces to normal faster, resulting in fewer accidents and delays. Using a liquid anti-icer jumpstarts the melting process because salt needs moisture to be effective. Brine doesn't bounce or blow off the road surface so material is used more efficiently. If the storm is delayed salt residue remains on the road ready to begin work when precipitation begins. Crews can cover more territory by beginning treatment in advance of a storm. Increased efficiency results in use of less salt, minimizing environmental concerns.

In reflecting back on a very busy 2012, I would be remiss if I did not extend my sincere thanks to the community for your participation, input and support for the many programs sponsored by the Police Department. In 2013, we look forward with enthusiasm to serving this great 12 Tredyffrin Township community. I intend to continue such well received programs as the Citizens Police Academy, the Police Learning Series and Police Summer Kids Camp. Additionally, please look for new programs such as Child Safety ID programs, seminars held at the community libraries as well as quarterly "police nights" held at our police department. These "police nights" will enable all of our community to voice their concerns in an informal setting or just simply stop by to visit the police open house for some refreshments. Please realize that your police department is comprised of the finest officers in the region who work tirelessly for the benefit of our community. The police department continues to be proactive in thwarting new crime trends t h r o u g h continuous community patrol supported by a specialized investigative unit. Other issues and concerns in the Please Support Our Advertisers area of motorist and pedestrian safety are strongly supported by the traffic safety unit. The Community Policing Unit is one of our main support structures for all of the community programs, seminars and initiatives. Our talented civilian support staff keeps our department (administratively) functioning smoothly on a daily basis. In 2013, consider being active in our township as a community partner with the police department through your participation in our Tredyffrin Town Watch Association and or our Tredyffrin Community and Police Association (TCPA). Remain safe in 2013 and know that your police department stands ready to assist you. Police News From L-R: Supt. Anthony Giaimo, Ofc. Mike Spirito, Cpl. Stephanie Bills, Ofc. Dan McFarland, Lt.

The Basics of Production curriculum is mandatory for every Tredyffrin Township Television (TTTV) producer and crewmember and is a required prerequisite for other curricula. Every taping, according to the physical demands of the production, requires a certain number of certified crewmembers to safely build a show. At least three crewmembers certified in Basics of Video Production, one of whom must be the Lead Certified Producer and a Tredyffrin resident, are recommended to produce a polished three-camera studio taping. The number of crewmembers required for any field production will be determined by the studio manager at the time of the equipment loan. The basic determining factor will always be how many pairs of hands are necessary to keep talent, crew and equipment safe. Only Basics of Production-certified crewmembers may use our facilities and equipment. Classes are held at the Greenwood Studio in the Tredyffrin Township Building at 1100 DuPortail Rd. in Berwyn. Students may attend either the Wednesday evening or the Saturday class, and that selection may change week to week. Space may be limited to first registrants.

Sometimes physical difficulties or financial constraints make this challenging. Surrey Services for Seniors, a nonprofit organization, offers comprehensive services to meet the changing needs of older adults enabling them to remain comfortably in their homes and engaged in the community. Senior Centers: Surrey House in Berwyn is one of several Surrey locations where members can enjoy the companionship of new and old friends, enjoy a meal, and participate in stimulating recreational and cultural activities. In addition to a fully equipped fitness center, exercise classes geared to older adults are offered regularly. The Surrey Café serves a delicious nutritious lunch in a warm and inviting atmosphere Monday-Thursday from 11:30-12:30, and is open to the public. A modest contribution of $3 is recommended. Transportation: Surrey provides several transportation options: shared ride, which is similar to carpooling with other seniors in a van; volunteer driver escorts are available for those who need more assistance; and private driver services, which is available for an hourly fee as needed. provide education after a hospitalization, and more. A Geriatric Care Manager is available to work with seniors and their families to evaluate specific situations, connect people with appropriate resources, and manage overall care as needed. Friendly Check In: Surrey offers friendly phone calls by volunteers for seniors who might be isolated at home or who would benefit from that regular form of social contact and the assurance that someone is checking in with them. Daily Money Management: Professional, one-on-one assistance in all aspects of daily personal finances such as bill paying, bank statements, tax information and budgeting is available. This allows the senior to retain control over their finances while eliminating the stress of handling these matters themselves. Home Maintenance: Surrey offers volunteers who can visit a home for small tasks such as changing light bulbs or the batteries in a smoke detector. A paid handyman is available for tasks such as installing grab bars, replacing doorbells or small painting jobs. Volunteer Opportunities: Surrey's philosophy of "neighbor helping neighbor" offers people in the community many opportunities to assist seniors in our neighborhood. To learn more about how Surrey can help you, a loved one, or a neighbor in need, call 610-647-6404 or visit www.surreyservices.org. Home Care: A companion can assist with bathing, dressing, preparing simple meals and doing light housekeeping. They can also take a senior out for errands or to appointments. Sometimes the social isolation seniors experience is overwhelming and companions are a wonderful way to stay connected. This can be scheduled for a just a few hours or as much as 24 hour/day. Home Health: A Surrey nurse can come to a senior's home to organize their medication or assess and monitor medical needs. Nurses are available to take blood for lab tests, care for wounds, Please Support Our Advertisers Winter 2013 Newsletter 19 Main Line School Night Main Line School Night Offers Engaging Courses and Experiences in Spring 2013 New Main Line School Night classes start each week from February through June.
