T2ALL

Just a reminder of Dave Fluharty's previous message on our new Winter 
Maintenance listserve which was as follows:

 >Hi T2All and Snow-Ice,

 >Participants in a recent "Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange" 
recommended establishing an electronic mailing list >to foster a dialogue 
among winter operations trainers. The UNH Tē Center has established the Win 
Ops Trainers list, which >operates similar to the T2All and Snow-Ice lists. 
It is open to private and public trainers, and people 
specifically >interested in winter operations training. There is no cost.

 >To subscribe send a message in the following format:
 >          To: ListProc@lists.unh.edu
 >          Subj:

 >          subscribe winops.trainers [yourname]

 >Leave the subject line blank, and insert your name for "[yourname]." The 
server
 >will read you email address. If you have any problems, contact 
kclaytor@unh.edu.

 >Regards, Dave

Also, one of the last messages on WinOps was from Dick Hanneman of the Salt 
Institute referring to a discussion during the recent (MARCH) Winter 
Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange held in PA. His message was as follows:

 >To:  Winter Maintenance trainers:

 >At this week's meeting of the National LTAP Association, I was reminded
 >by LTAP trainers that the NLTAPA-sponsored Winter Maintenance Peer
 >Exchange this past April identified the Salt Institute's website as the
 >go-to-first (portal) for information on winter maintenance training. To
 >ensure we meet your needs, I would renew a general plea to pass along
 >information to be shared on our website, but most of all encourage you
 >to notify me of the schedule of your winter maintenance training
 >workshops and expos. I include them on our "Salt Industry Calendar" at
 >http://www.saltinstitute.org/23.html and would invite you to check there
 >to see where other training sessions are being held.

 >Let me know how else we can support your vital efforts.

The Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange involved representatives 
from FHWA, State DOTs, and LTAP/T2 Centers. I am completing the Final 
Report at this time and it should become available through the LTAP 
Clearinghouse and the Salt Institute website. Look for it soon!

If you were not in Dubuque last week, you really missed a great conference.

As Always,
