Spring 2012 News From the President

Like It or Not

It’s just how it is and has always been. Somebody, somehow,

somewhere is doing it 24/7. Now that your mind is intrigued I will

tell you what it is. SELLING that’s right SELLING. Whether it

be the neighbor kid next door or Joe at the terminal, we are all

selling ourselves, our company, or for an organization.

Try to think of something that does not involve sales. So the

question is what are we supporting with our dollars?

Everyone has something they need to sell and an equal need for

someone to buy. The old adage “you do not know unless you

ask” is as true today as much as it was yesterday.

Are we leading up to asking you to buy? Well maybe and maybe

not.

How about the words consider. What if we could make Fulton

County a better place to live and work while stimulating the

economy? Are there ways we as a team could do a better job at

that? There are many who are ready, willing and able to rise to

that call, and need your help.

Please Look, Listen and Learn how your dollars are being

invested in this County.

As we begin to plant and sow seeds this spring may we be

reminded of the fruits we yield in making Fulton County a better

place to live, play and work by keeping our dollars right here. It is

our mission to support the economic growth of Fulton County as

well as promote the expansion of tourism within our county. Join

us in the cause and make that positive difference.

Thank you for your continued support of the

Fulton County Chamber of Commerce & Tourism.

News for Immediate Release

March 5, 2012

Anti-Texting Law to Take Effect March 8 in Pennsylvania

Harrisburg – Pennsylvania’s new law prohibiting text-based communication while driving will take effect at 12:01

a.m. on March 8, making texting while driving a primary offense carrying a $50 fine.

“Your most important job when behind the wheel is to focus only on driving. Most people would never close their

eyes for five seconds while driving, but that’s how long you take your eyes of the road, or even longer, every time

you send or read a text message,” PennDOT Secretary Barry J. Schoch said. “It’s not just your own life you’re risking; it’s the lives and safety of every motorist around you.”

The new law specifically does the following:

Makes it a primary offense to use an Interactive Wireless Communication Device (IWCD) to send, read or write

a text-based message.

Defines an IWCD as a wireless phone, personal digital assistant, smartphone, portable or mobile computer or

similar devices that can be used for texting, instant messaging, emailing or browsing the Internet.

Defines a text-based message as a text message, instant message, email or other written communication composed or received on an IWCD.

Institutes a $50 fine for convictions.

Makes clear that this law supersedes and preempts any local ordinances restricting the use of interactive wireless

devices by drivers.

“This is a serious problem and we are hoping that we can educate citizens on the dangers of texting while driving

and prevent future accidents,” said State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan. “Our troopers will attempt to use observations of the driver while the vehicle is in motion to determine if traffic stops are warranted. An example

might be the motorist continues to manipulate the device over an extended distance with no apparent voice communication.

“Ultimately, we hope that our enforcement efforts will create voluntary compliance by the majority of motorists,"

Noonan said.

In 2010, there were nearly 14,000 crashes in Pennsylvania where distracted driving played a role, with 68 people

dying in those crashes.
