TULLAH: For Women’s History Month in March, The Era published a series of stories on women who have left their mark on Bradford, including that left by Tullah Hanley, an art lover and philanthropist born in Hungary who came to Bradford to be with her husband, Dr. T. Edward Hanley.
The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford wanted to make sure readers knew that “she has done so much to assist students at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford through the scholarships for which she has provided funding. We can never thank Mrs. Hanley enough for her generosity to Pitt-Bradford.
“From 1982 until her death in 1988, Mrs. Hanley donated an average of $30,000 per year to the Pitt-Bradford scholarship fund, which to date totals well over a million dollars. On July 1, 1994, the Bradford Educational Foundation Board of Directors established the Hanley Quasi-Endowment Fund with proceeds from the trust she had set up to fund the Tullah Hanley Endowed Scholarship for students attending Pitt-Bradford.
“On average, the Tullah Hanley scholarship provides 50 scholarships per year to deserving Pitt-Bradford students to assist them in paying their balance and other educationally related expenses.”
WORK ZONES: The sun is shining and it’s the first day the mercury has inched over the 60-degree line in you don’t know how long. You don’t have a care in the world as your car glides over the snow-free roads.
Watch out.
You know that pothole you’ve complained about for the past two months, or that road project you’ve been hearing about since last fall? Those projects are now getting underway.
This week is National Work Zone Awareness Week, and Columbia Gas of Pennsylvania offered a few things to keep in mind when taking to the road:
• Expect the unexpected — Normal speed limits may be reduced; traffic lanes may change; and people may be working on or near the road.
• Slow down — Speeding is one of the major causes of work zone crashes.
• Keep your distance — Keep a safe distance between you and the car ahead of you, and don’t tailgate.
• Pay attention to the signs — Observe the posted signs until you see the one that says you’ve left the work zone.
• Obey road crew flaggers — A flagger has the same authority as a regulatory sign, so you can be cited for disobeying his or her directions.
• Stay alert and minimize distractions — Dedicate your full attention to the roadway and avoid changing radio stations or using cell phones while driving.
