Woodland’s BCT Trade Hitting The Pavement
Last week, Woodland’s BCT students knocked out a job that had been on the
Center Director’s “To Do List” since arriving on Center last year. Norman
Turner, Center Director of Woodland Job Corps was pleased when the BCT
students stopped him outside to take a look at the resurfaced outdoor basketball
court that they had painted.
“I’m always glad when students take a vested interest in their community. This
court is just the start of the projects that I have on center that will give my
students an overall better time after the training day,” stated Mr. Turner.
The Woodland Informer is now hearing talks that Mr. Turner is setting his sights
on the gym moving forward.
“I know that Mr. Turner is a huge basketball fan and loves playing with the
students, so it will be of no surprise to us, if in fact he is indeed setting his eyes
on the gym,” stated Jobina C. Brown, BCL.
Whatever the next project will be, we are so glad to have such dedicated students
that want to use what they have learned in their trade to beautify the Center.
Hats off to the BCT students and Mr. Talley their instructor!

RECRUITMENT IS WHAT WOODLAND DOES
The Capital Guardian Youth Challenge Academy attended Woodland Job Corps Center for a tour last week. The students
were interested in continuing their educational/career needs after they successfully complete their program at Capital
Guardian Youth Challenge Academy.
Among other things, Woodland is making recruiting the areas best and finest students to their program a top priority.” The
students are taught respect, leadership, and discipline,” said Ms. Betty Stuckey, Placement and Mentor Coordinator at
Capital Guardian Youth Challenge Academy.
The students were very excited about the trades offered at Woodland and look forward to joining our campus in the near
future.

into the Local 5 Plumbing Apprenticeship Program. Titania’s starting wage
will be $16.61.

Great job Titania!
Woodland’s Fun Day
Woodland’s Fun Day was enjoyed by all last Friday as staff and
students were able to relax, socialize and enjoy each other’s company
over ice cream and popcorn just to name a few.
Senior staff members like Scotta Norris- Records Manager, Audrey
Davis- Purchasing Agent, and Tyrone Kent- Security Manager were
all too happy to serve the students as well as talk to the students
about what’s going on in their lives.
Every other Friday each dorm hosts a “Fun Day” and each Friday
there is a different theme or event that they focus on.
“Even if it rains we don’t stop the event from happening. We just
improvise and make it happen. The students look forward to it and
truth be told so do I,” stated Ms. Jobina C. Brown, BCL.
Great job to the entire staff and students on center for a successful
event!

Walking Taco’s Movie Night
The Social Development Department is in full swing as several dorms hosted a “Walking Taco Movie
Night” on June 12th, 2018 in the roll call area. The movie of choice was “Lean On Me”.
Aspen dorm staff took the liberty of showing our trainees a good time to relax and enjoy a movie with each
other while having a cool snack (Dorito bags, nacho cheese, and chili sauce). This was an opportunity for the
trainees to experience a positive relationship with their peers and also learn life morals through the movie.
Even our quietest trainees came out to enjoy the fellowship. Overall it was a great night and we can’t wait
for our next movie night!

Safety Corner
It can happen when you least expect it. You’re minding your own
business, outside having fun, riding in the car and even swimming in the
lake, pool or ocean, and when you are done you realize that you have a sun
burn. Maybe it was a cloudy day. Maybe you forgot your hat or your
sunscreen. Sunburn happens, even when you're prepared and careful.
Prevention: regardless of the seeming weather conditions, use an
appropriate level SPF sunscreen for your skin type and the weather
conditions. Apply the sunscreen frequently especially when you are in and out of water or if you perspire a lot.
Always remember to protect your eyes. Wear sunglasses to prevent glare and damage to your eyes from direct sunlight and or reflective sunlight.
Remember: Skin not normally exposed to sunlight on a daily basis will burn first
Things to do to deal with sunburn when one happens:
When the burn is fresh -- red, itchy, and achy -- you need to focus on
keeping the skin hydrated and soothing the inflammation. Use a
moisturizer as frequently as needed. A cream with steroids, like
hydrocortisone, will help relieve the discomfort, too. Aloe vera juice or gel
is good to help with the healing and feels nice and cool on the burn. You
can deal with the inflammation from the inside out by taking aspirin or
ibuprofen. Dermatology experts believe that controlling the inflammation
can reduce the risk of wrinkles and brown spots.
SAFETY FIRST
Sunburn, It Can Happen to You!
Sunburn, It Can Happen
To You!
The Three Norms of Woodland Every Monday a Woodland’s Business Meeting, the student body stand up and repeat this saying which is
led by the talented members of the Student Government Association.
The purpose of this saying is to make sure that the students understand their purpose and their goals
while they are in the program.
So repeat after me:
We show concern for self.
We show concern for others.
We accept supervision.
Lets’s go and show our Warrior Pride
Once the sunburn starts to sting -- maybe after a night of sleep or a
shower -- you can ease the pain with tannins. Steep a few tea bags
(black tea is best) in hot water, then let them cool in the fridge.
Place the tea bags on the burned area to take the sting out of the
burn and soothe your irritated skin.
As the burn heals, stick with the hydration. Drink plenty of water to
stay hydrated from the inside out. Use a lotion that contains
antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E to help take care of free
radicals in the damaged skin cells.
1. Be gentle with your skin. Rough sponges and exfoliating
scrubs can really hurt sunburned skin. Give yourself a
break and switch to a softer washcloth and a soap without
any gritty bits.
2. Not all sunburns peel, but if yours does, you can gently
buff away the dead skin with a dry washcloth. Don't be
too rough -- you don't want to scrub off any skin that isn't
ready to go, or irritate the new skin beneath the dead skin.
Make your time out in the sun, fun time and not pay for it later with
sun burns, blisters and challenges to sleeping because it hurts to lay down. Be Safe out there.

when it comes to community service,
Delaware Valley's Carpentry students really

and growth. Among T.I.'s newest MAB masters
