During the day the road will be open, but flagman will be directing traffic. The road will be opened fully at the end of their shift each day. Tom Green, director, Facilities Energy Management and Campus Utilities Storeroom Inventory - The University Storeroom will be conducting our annual inventory the week of Jun. 11 through Jun. 13. During this time, the storeroom will be unable to make campus deliveries. While the storeroom is conducting inventory, the SAP System will not allow users to process material reservations online -- it is important that campus users refrain from attempting to use the material reservation transaction codes during this time. (The transaction will not only be rejected but it will also have an impact on the storeroom inventory process.) The storeroom will begin running the necessary transactions in preparation for inventory at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jun. 8. The system will resume accepting material reservation transactions beginning on Thursday, Jun. 14. If you have any questions, concerns, or emergency needs during this time, please feel free to contact Tim Good, storeroom supervisor at x3-4139 or via email at good@kutztown.edu. The Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center presents center’s inaugural volume publication - The Friend in Need: An Annotated Translation of an Early Pennsylvania Folk-Healing Manual, by KU's Patrick J. Donmoyer. Nearly 200 year ago, the legendary Berks County author Johann Georg Hohman published "The Friend in Need" in 1813, the precursor to America's most popular work of powwow, folk healing, and magic, "The Long Lost Friend," compiled in 1819. This obscure piece of Berks County history is now available for the first time in English, allowing readers access to historical prayers, benedictions and charms used in early America for healing and protection among the Pennsylvania Dutch. With complete annotations, numerous illustrations and tables, this work is a wealth of information concerning the origins and history of the folk tradition of powwowing in Pennsylvania, and it is available just in time for its bicentennial release at the Kutztown Folk Festival. For more information on the publication, please contact the PGCHC at x6-4166 or heritage@kutztown.edu.
