We are finally moving toward keeping first responders and construction
workers safe with the new “Move Over” law (”Pennsylvania’s ‘Move Over’ law now in effect for motorists,” April 27, TribLIVE).
Many first responders and construction workers have been killed or injured by vehicles driving too close to where they are working or drivers not following the speed limit in designated zones. This law will give them a safety buffer with some extra room.
The law also will provide a hefty fine to violators. I think it is about time that fines are increased and action is taken to keep first responders and construction workers safe.

The Mass will be livestreamed at dioceseofgreensburg.org and on its Facebook page and YouTube channel. It starts at 11:45 a.m.
The diocese was started March 10, 1951, by Pope Pius XII and covers about 128,000 Catholics in Armstrong, Fayette, Indiana and Westmoreland counties. Its first leader, Bishop Hugh Lamb, established 10 new parishes and eight new schools, including Greensburg Central Catholic High School, according to a biography on the diocese website.

To stage or not to stage, that is the question for area high schools as musical season approaches.
As many productions fell prey last year to the pandemic, school personnel and students didn’t think they would be facing the same challenge this year. But they are.
With gathering size and social distancing rules still in place, many schools are still figuring out what to do and how to do it. But the consensus seems to be that virtual is the way to go, and any live audience necessarily will be limited in size.
