Lehigh Township Historical Society News submitted by Ruth Hall Kent
We are thrilled to have had over 70 visitors to the Historical Centre Museum on Tuesday, August 6th during the Lehigh Township National Night Out event held at Indian Trail Park. Many of the visitors were amazed and thankful for the work the members and volunteers do to preserve memorabilia from our past that is on display in the museum. We are open for one more seasonal Open House on Sunday, September 1st (Labor Day weekend) between 1 pm and 4 pm. Please come and visit as this is your last chance to visit on a Sunday until next year! Once again the Historical Centre will be decorating the porch of our Historical Centre with beautiful fall mums and while you are there, take a stroll through the museum. If you have any items to donate to the museum, you can drop them off at that time. Don't forget to mark your calendar for October 12th to join us for our special program, a talk about Pennsylvania German Gravestones followed by a walk through the St. Paul's Old Church cemetery. We welcome Michael Emery, who will present a powerpoint about gravestone materials and decorative carvings on typical grave markers. The
program is free and open to the public. The event is sponsored by Gilbert Funeral Home of Whitehall, PA, who is a member of the Society. Please visit our website at www. lehightownshiphistoricalsociety.org for more details on our upcoming events or call the Centre at 610440-0151 and leave a message. We hope to see you in September and October.

Free Amateur Radio Classes submitted by Bob Green
Here’s a chance for you to learn about amateur radio, as emergency communication, as public service in community events, or for as a hobby for casual conversations with other “hams” locally or around the world, even astronauts in orbit. This is done using non-commercial radio transmissions. This is not CB radio. Wherever your interests in radio communication lie, ham radio likely has what you want. It often is the only reliable communication when cell phones and landline telephone service are down through damage or an overload of calls. We can make direct over-the-air radio transmissions from a 12-volt source even if the home power is out, by using a generator, or vehicle battery. The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club will help you prepare for your FCC test to earn your entry-level amateur radio license and begin the enjoyment of ham radio. Additionally, for amateur radio operators already holding a Technician Class license, classes will be held on the same dates to prepare you for the General Class license on the same schedule. Both series of free classes will start on Tuesday, September 3, and run for 9 Tuesday evenings, 7 pm
to 9 pm, at Gracedale, near Nazareth. If you are within the age range of about 8 to 80+, and have an interest in amateur radio, you qualify! To register for free classes, or for answers to questions about the classes or amateur radio, please call 610.432.8286 or email KE3AW@ARRL.NET. More information about amateur radio can be found on the Internet at www.DLARC.ORG or www.ARRL.ORG/what-is-ham-radio . The Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, Inc. is a 501(C)(3) non-profit charitable organization.

St. Nicholas Parish Knights Speaker Series to Feature Diane Gramley of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania submitted by Sean Campbell
The St. Nicholas Parish Knights of Columbus Council 16656 will be hosting presentation by Diane Gramley of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania at the St. Nicholas Parish Social Hall, 1152 Oak Road, Walnutport PA. on Wednesday August 21st beginning at 7:00 PM. Diane Gramley is the President of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania. She has served as the state director since May of 2003, prior to that she served as the President of the AFA of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Diane is a wife and mother of five. Issues involving the public education system caused her to step out of her ‘comfort zone’ into the public arena in 2000. In December 2015 she was named by Defend the Family International as one of the Top Ten Pro-Family Heroes of 2015 for her "steady, persistent and unflappable defense of family values." The AFA of PA is the Pennsylvania state affiliate of the Tupelo, MS-based American Family Association. The Statement of Purpose of the American Family Association of Pennsylvania is as follows:
1.) To make a positive difference in our community by standing up for traditional Judeo-Christian values. 2.) To encourage the faith community to break the silence on controversial issues and be a voice for pro-family values. 3.) To provide leadership in defending the Biblical ethic of decency. 4.) To educate the public on the negative effects of pornography and violence in the media. 5.) To do what we can to encourage, promote and defend families. 6.) To protect children from those who would seek to commercialize or propagandize them. Please join us in welcoming Diane on Wednesday August 21st. The event is free of charge and open to the public.

Back-to-School Tips Source: www.healthychildren.org
The following health and safety tips are from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
Making the First Day Easier
• Parents should remember that they need not wait until the first day of class to ask for help. Schools are open to address any concerns a parent or child might have, including the specific needs of a child, over the summer. The best time to get help might be one to two weeks before school opens. • Many children become nervous about new situations, including changing to a new school, classroom or teacher. This may occur at any age. If your child seems nervous, it can be helpful to rehearse entry into the new situation. Take them to visit the new school or classroom before the first day of school. Remind them that there are probably a lot of students who are uneasy about the first day of school. Teachers know that students are nervous and will make an extra effort to make sure everyone feels as comfortable as possible. If your child seems nervous, ask them what they are worried about and help them problem solve ways to master the new situation. • Point out the positive aspects of starting school
to create positive anticipation about the first day of class. They will see old friends and meet new ones. Talk with them about positive experiences they may have had in the past at school or with other groups of children. • Find another child in the neighborhood with whom your child can walk to school or ride on the bus. • If it is a new school for your child, attend any available orientations and take an opportunity to tour the school before the first day. Bring the child to school a few days prior to class to play on the playground and get comfortable in the new environment. • If you feel it is needed, drive your child (or walk with her) to school and pick her up on the first day, and get there early on the first day to cut down on unnecessary stress. • Make sure to touch base with your child's new teacher at the beginning or end of the day so the teacher knows how much you want to be supportive of your child's school experience. • Consider starting your child on their school sleep/wake schedule a week or so ahead of time so that time change is not a factor on their first couple of days at school.
Backpack Safety
• Choose a backpack with wide, padded shoulder

straps and a padded back. • Pack light. Organize the backpack to use all of its compartments. Pack heavier items closest to the center of the back. The backpack should never weigh more than 10% to 20% of your child's body weight. Go through the pack with your child weekly, and remove unneeded items to keep it light. • Remind your child to always use both shoulder straps. Slinging a backpack over one shoulder can strain muscles. • Adjust the pack so that the bottom sits at your child's waist. • If your school allows, consider a rolling backpack. This type of backpack may be a good choice for students who must tote a heavy load. Remember that rolling backpacks still must be carried up stairs, they may be difficult to roll in snow, and they may not fit in some lockers. And review backpack safety with your child.
Traveling To & From School
Review the basic rules with your student and practice any new routes or modes of transportation:
School Bus
• Children should always board and exit the bus at locations that provide safe access to the bus or to the school building. • Remind your child to wait for the bus to stop
AUGUST 15, 2019 || townandcountrygazette.com
before approaching it from the curb. • Make sure your child walks where she can see the bus driver (which means the driver will be able to see her, too). • Remind your student to look both ways to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing the street, just in case traffic does not stop as required. Encourage your child to actually practice how to cross the street several times prior to the first day of school. • Your child should not move around on the bus. • If your child's school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, make sure your child uses one at all times when in the bus. (If your child's school bus does not have lap/shoulder belts, encourage the school system to buy or lease buses with lap/shoulder belts). • Check on the school's policy regarding food on the bus. Eating on the bus can present a problem for students with allergy and also lead to infestations of insects and vermin on the vehicles. • If your child has a chronic condition that could result in an emergency on the bus, make sure you work with the school nurse or other school health personnel to have a bus emergency plan, if possibly, prior to the first day of class Continued on page 20

Back to School Tips Continued from page 19
Car
• All passengers should wear a seat belt or use an age- and size-appropriate car seat or booster seat. • Your child should ride in a car seat with a harness as long as possible and then ride in a belt-positioning booster seat. Your child is ready for a booster seat when she has reached the top weight or height allowed for her seat, her shoulders are above the top harness slots, or her ears have reached the top of the seat. • Your child should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat until the vehicle's seat belt fits properly (usually when the child reaches about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 to 12 years of age). This means that the child is tall enough to sit against the vehicle seat back with her legs bent at the knees and feet hanging down and the shoulder belt lies across the middle of the chest and shoulder, not the neck or throat; the lap belt is low and snug across the thighs, not the stomach. • All children younger than 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles. If you must drive more children than can fit in the rear seat (when carpooling, for example), move the front-seat passenger's seat as far back as possible and have the child ride in a booster seat if the seat belts do not fit properly without it. • Remember that many crashes occur while novice teen drivers are going to and from school.You should require seat belt use, limit the number of teen passengers, and do not allow eating, drinking, cell phone conversations even when using hands-free devices or speakerphone, texting or other mobile device use to prevent driver distraction.. Familiarize yourself with your state's graduated driver's license law and consider the use of a parent-teen driver agreement to facilitate the early driving learning process. Click here for a sample parent-teen driver agreement.
Bike
• Practice the bike route to school before the first day of school to make sure your child can manage it. • Always wear a bicycle helmet, no matter how short or long the ride. • Ride on the right, in the same direction as auto traffic and ride in bike lanes if they are present. • Use appropriate hand signals. • Respect traffic lights and stop signs. • Wear bright-colored clothing to increase visibility. White or light-colored clothing and reflective gear is especially important after dark. 20
• Know the "rules of the road."
Walking to School
• Children are generally ready to start walking to school at 9 to 11 years of age. • Make sure your child's walk to school is a safe route with well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection. • Identify other children in the neighborhood with whom your child can walk to school. In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider organizing a "walking school bus," in which an adult accompanies a group of neighborhood children walking to school. • Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic, carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk to school without adult supervision. If the route home requires crossing busier streets than your child can reasonably do safely, have an adult, older friend or sibling escort them home. • If your children are young or are walking to a new school, walk with them or have another adult walk with them the first week or until you are sure they know the route and can do it safely. If your child will need to cross a street on the way to school, practice safe street crossing with them before the start of school. • Bright-colored clothing or a visibility device, like a vest or armband with reflectors, will make your child more visible to drivers.
Eating During the School Day
• Studies show that children who eat a nutritious breakfast function better. They do better in school, and have better concentration and more energy. Some schools provide breakfast for children; if yours does not, make sure they eat a breakfast that contains some protein • Most schools regularly send schedules of cafeteria menus home and/or have them posted on the school's website. With this advance information, you can plan on packing lunch on the days when the main course is one your child prefers not to eat. • Many children qualify for free or reduced price food at school, including breakfast. The forms for these services can be completed at the school office. Hunger will affect a child's performance in class. • Many school districts have plans which allow you to pay for meals through an online account. Your child will get a card to "swipe" at the register. This is a convenient way to handle school meal accounts. • Look into what is offered inside and outside of the cafeteria, including vending machines, a la carte, school stores, snack carts and fundraisers held during the school day. All foods sold during the News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || AUGUST 15, 2019
school day must meet nutrition standards established by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). They should stock healthy choices such as fresh fruit, low-fat dairy products, water and 100% fruit juice. Learn about your child's school wellness policy and get involved in school groups to put it into effect. Also, consider nutrition if you child will be bringing food to eat during school. • Each 12-ounce soft drink contains approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar and 150 calories. Drinking just one can of soda a day increases a child's risk of obesity by 60%. Choose healthier options (such as water and appropriately sized juice and low-fat dairy products) to send in your child's lunch.
your child how they would feel if someone bullied them. • Be a positive role mode. Show children they can get what they want without teasing, threatening or hurting someone. • Use effective, non-physical discipline, such as loss of privileges. • Focus on praising your child when they behave in positive ways such as helping or being kind to other children as opposed to bullying them. • Develop practical solutions with the school principal, teachers, school social workers or psychologists, and parents of the children your child has bullied.
Bullying
When Your Child Is a Bystander
When Your Child Is Bullied
Before & After School Child Care
Bullying or cyberbullying is when one child picks on another child repeatedly. Bullying can be physical, verbal, or social. It can happen at school, on the playground, on the school bus, in the neighborhood, over the Internet, or through mobile devices like cell phones. • Alert school officials to the problems and work with them on solutions. • Teach your child to be comfortable with when and how to ask a trusted adult for help. Ask them to identify who they can ask for help. • Recognize the serious nature of bullying and acknowledge your child's feelings about being bullied. • Help your child learn how to respond by teaching your child how to: 1. Look the bully in the eye. 2. Stand tall and stay calm in a difficult situation. 3. Walk away. • Teach your child how to say in a firm voice. 1. "I don't like what you are doing." 2. "Please do NOT talk to me like that." • Encourage your child to make friends with other children. • Support outside activities that interest your child. • Make sure an adult who knows about the bullying can watch out for your child's safety and well-being when you cannot be there. • Monitor your child's social media or texting interactions so you can identify problems before they get out of hand.
When Your Child Is the Bully
• Be sure your child knows that bullying is never OK. • Set firm and consistent limits on your child's aggressive behavior. • Help your child learn empathy for other children by asking them to consider how the other child feels about they way your child treated them. Ask AUGUST 15, 2019 || townandcountrygazette.com
• Encourage your child to tell a trusted adult about the bullying. Encourage your child to join with others in telling bullies to stop. • Help your child support other children who may be bullied. Encourage your child to include these children in activities. • During early and middle childhood, children need supervision. A responsible adult should be available to get them ready and off to school in the morning and supervise them after school until you Continued on page 22

return home from work. • If a family member will care for your child, communicate the need to follow consistent rules set by the parent regarding schedules, discipline and homework. • Children approaching adolescence (11- and 12-year-olds) should not come home to an empty house in the afternoon unless they show unusual maturity for their age. • If alternate adult supervision is not available, parents should make special efforts to supervise their children from a distance. Children should have a set time when they are expected to arrive at home and should check in with a neighbor or with a parent by telephone. • If you choose an after-school program for your child, inquire about the training of the staff. There should be a high staff-to-child ratio, trained persons to address health issues and emergencies, and the rooms and the playground should be safe.
Develop a Sleep Routine
• Getting enough sleep is critical for a child to be successful in school. Children who do not get enough sleep have difficulty concentrating and learning as well as they can. • Set a consistent bedtime for your child and stick with it every night. Having a bedtime routine that is consistent will help your child settle down and fall asleep. Components of a calming prebedtime routine may involve a bath/shower, reading with them, and tucking them in and saying good-night to them. • Have your child turn off electronic devices well before bedtime. • Try to have the home as quiet and calm as possible when younger children are trying to fall asleep. • Insufficient sleep is associated with lower academic achievement in middle school, high

school and college, as well as higher rates of absenteeism and tardiness. The optimal amount of sleep for most younger children is 10-12 hours per night and for adolescents (13-18 year of age) is in the range of 8-10 hours per night.
Developing Good Homework & Study Habits
• Create an environment that is conducive to doing homework starting at a young age. Children need a consistent work space in their bedroom or another part of the home that is quiet, without distractions, and promotes study. • Schedule ample time for homework; build this time into choices about participation in after school activities. • Establish a household rule that the TV and other electronic distractions stay off during homework time. • Supervise computer and Internet use. • By high school, it's not uncommon for teachers to ask students to submit homework electronically and perform other tasks on a computer. If your child doesn't have access to a computer or the internet at home, work with teachers and school administration to develop appropriate accommodations. • Be available to answer questions and offer assistance, but never do a child's homework for her. • Take steps to help alleviate eye fatigue, neck fatigue and brain fatigue while studying. It may be helpful to close the books for a few minutes, stretch, and take a break periodically when it will not be too disruptive. • If your child is struggling with a particular subject, speak with your child's teacher for recommendations on how you or another person can help your child at home or at school. If you have concerns about the assignments your child is receiving, talk with their teacher. • If your child is having difficulty focusing on or completing homework, discuss this with your child's teacher, school counselor, or health care provider. • For general homework problems that cannot be worked out with the teacher, a tutor may be considered. • Some children need extra help organizing their homework. Checklists, timers, and parental supervision can help overcome homework problems. • Some children may need help remembering their assignments. Work with your child and their teacher to develop an appropriate way to keep track of their assignments – such as an assignment notebook.

Safety Planning submitted by TURNING POINT
Everyone deserves a relationship that is healthy, safe, and supportive. No one should feel unsafe. If you are in an unsafe, violent relationship, you might be thinking of leaving. You do not have to leave today or do it all at once, but know that creating a Safety Plan can help you know what to do when you are ready to leave or if you decide to stay. It is important for you to know that the abuse is not your fault. You cannot control or change your partner’s abusive behavior. What you can do is create a Safety Plan to keep yourself as safe as possible. A Safety Plan is a personalized plan that can help you know the best way to react when you are in danger. When your brain is in crisis and your adrenaline is pumping, it does not function the same way as when you are calm. This is why it is important to have a Safety Plan in place in advance to protect yourself during those stressful and potentially dangerous situations. Safety planning looks different for different types of abuse. Your Safety Plan is tailored to your specific situation. This plan includes ways to remain safe while in the relationship, if you plan to leave, and/or after you leave. If you have already left the relationship, safety planning may look different then what it would be if you were still in an abusive relationship. If you have children, they need to become part of your safety plan in planning for both their physical and emotional safety. If you are in a physically abusive relationship, do not involve your children and run to them when your partner becomes violent. This could potentially put them in danger. Teach them how to get help and instruct them not to interfere with any arguments for their safety. You can work with them to come up with a code word that will let them know when they need
to leave the house or hide to protect themselves. You can also practice how to safely exit the home with them. If you trust your friend and/or neighbors, develop a system to let them know when violence is occurring and you need help. Your kids can go to their house to stay safe, they can call the police and you can stash an overnight bag there in case you need to leave quickly. Leaving a relationship is one of the most dangerous times for victims both physically and emotionally. It is normal to experience new feelings due to being scared, stressed, being uprooted, and difficulty adjusting to a new life that may overwhelm you. Our staff at Turning Point are here for you during this challenging time. Whether you decide to leave or stay‌we will listen, not judge, and work with you. You are not alone, we are here to help. Remember that at all times, your safety is the utmost priority. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you need help safety planning and would like to speak with someone, call our 24/7 Helpline at (610) 437-3369.

Back to School Tips for Parents Author: PBS KIDS
Starting the new school year can be a time of great excitement… and anxiety. Help calm your child’s fears (and your own) with these teacherapproved tips.
Meet the new teacher
For kids, one of the biggest back-to-school fears is “Will I like my new teacher?” Breaking the ice early on is one of the best ways to calm everyone’s fears. Take advantage of your school’s open house or back-to-school night. Some teachers welcome phone calls or e-mails — another great opportunity to get to know each other before the year begins. If personal contact with the teacher isn’t possible, try locating the teacher’s picture on a school website or in a yearbook, so your child can put a name with a face. If your child’s teacher sends a welcome letter, be sure to read the letter together.
Tour the school
If your school hosts an open house, be sure to go. Familiarizing your child with her environment will help her avoid a nervous stomach on the first day.

Together you can meet her teacher, find her desk, or explore the playground. With an older child, you might ask him to give you a tour of the school. This will help refresh his memory and yours.
Connect with friends
A familiar friend can make all the difference when heading back to school.You might try calling parents from last year’s class and finding out which children are in your child’s class this year. Refresh these relationships before school starts by scheduling a play date or a school carpool.
Tool up
Obtain the class supply list and take a special shopping trip with your child. Having the right tools
will help him feel prepared. While keeping basic needs in mind, allow for a couple of splurges like a cool notebook or a favorite-colored pen. These simple pleasures make going back to school a lot more fun. School supply lists also provide great insight into the schoolwork ahead. Get your child excited about upcoming projects by explaining how new supplies might be used. Let him practice using supplies that he’s not used before — such as colored pencils or a protractor — so he will be comfortable using them in class. Continued on page 26

Avoid last-minute drilling
When it’s almost time to stop playing, give a fiveminute warning. Giving clear messages to your child is very important.

While it is important to support learning throughout the summer, don’t spend the last weeks of summer vacation reviewing last year’s curriculum. All kids need some down time before the rigors of school begin. For some kids, last-minute drills can heighten anxiety, reminding them of what they’ve forgotten instead of what they remember.
Ease into the routine
Switching from a summer to a school schedule can be stressful to everyone in the household. Avoid first-day-of-school mayhem by practicing your routine a few days in advance. Set the alarm clock, go through your morning rituals, and get in the car or to the bus stop on time. Routines help children feel comfortable, and establishing a solid school routine will make the first day of school go much smoother.

Bullying: What Kids Can Do Source: www.stopbullying.gov
Are you being bullied? Do you see bullying at your school? There are things you can do to keep yourself and the kids you know safe from bullying.
Treat Everyone with Respect Nobody should be mean to others.
• Stop and think before you say or do something that could hurt someone. • If you feel like being mean to someone, find something else to do. Play a game, watch TV, or talk to a friend. • Talk to an adult you trust. They can help you find ways to be nicer to others. • Keep in mind that everyone is different. Not better or worse. Just different. • If you think you have bullied someone in the past, apologize. Everyone feels better.
What to Do If You’re Bullied There are things you can do if you are being bullied:
• Look at the kid bullying you and tell him or her to stop in a calm, clear voice. You can also try to laugh it off. This works best if joking is easy for you. It could catch the kid bullying you off guard. • If speaking up seems too hard or not safe, walk away and stay away. Don’t fight back. Find an adult to stop the bullying on the spot. There are things you can do to stay safe in the future, too. • Talk to an adult you trust. Don’t keep your feelings inside. Telling someone can help you feel less alone. They can help you make a plan to stop the bullying. • Stay away from places where bullying happens. • Stay near adults and other kids. Most bullying happens when adults aren’t around.
Protect Yourself from Cyberbullying
Bullying does not always happen in person.

Cyberbullying is a type of bullying that happens online or through text messages or emails. There are things you can do to protect yourself. • Always think about what you post. You never know what someone will forward. Being kind to others online will help to keep you safe. Do not share anything that could hurt or embarrass anyone. • Keep your password a secret from other kids. Even kids that seem like friends could give your password away or use it in ways you don’t want. Let your parents have your passwords. • Think about who sees what you post online. Complete strangers? Friends? Friends of friends? Privacy settings let you control who sees what. • Keep your parents in the loop. Tell them what you’re doing online and who you’re doing it with. Let them friend or follow you. Listen to what they have to say about what is and isn’t okay to do. They care about you and want you to be safe. • Talk to an adult you trust about any messages you get or things you see online that make you sad or scared. If it is cyberbullying,
Stand Up for Others
When you see bullying, there are safe things you can do to make it stop. • Talk to a parent, teacher, or another adult you Continued on page 30

trust. Adults need to know when bad things happen so they can help. • Be kind to the kid being bullied. Show them that you care by trying to include them. Sit with
them at lunch or on the bus, talk to them at school, or invite them to do something. Just hanging out with them will help them know they aren’t alone. Not saying anything could make it worse for everyone. The kid who is bullying will think it is ok to keep treating others that way.
Get Involved You can be a leader in preventing bullying in your community.
• Find out more about where and when bullying happens at your school. Think about what could help. Then, share your ideas. There is a good chance that adults don’t know all of what happens. Your friends can go with you to talk to a teacher, counselor, coach, or parent and can add what they think. • Talk to the principal about getting involved at school. Schools sometimes give students a voice in programs to stop bullying. Be on a school safety committee. Create posters for your school about bullying. Be a role model for younger kids. • Write a blog, letter to the editor of your local newspaper, or tweet about bullying.

KU Observatory Discovers New Exoplanet submitted by Bryan Salvadore
Kutztown University's Observatory has discovered another exoplanet, KELT-23Ab. The discovery was featured in an article in the Astronomical Journal with KU student Daniel Johns, undergraduate physics and astronomy major, and his advisor Dr. Phill Reed, professor of Astronomy & Physics, serving as the lead authors. KU student Ryan Rauenzahn is also a contributing author. The 0.6-meter on-campus research telescope at KU captured the exoplanet passing in front of a star on July 3, 2018, but more than a dozen other telescopes and 50 additional co-authors were involved in the discovery. "Being the lead author of a large project like this really opened my eyes to the amount of work and collaboration that goes into discovering an exoplanet," Johns said. Reed and his fellow researchers at the Observatory are members of a follow-up observing network for the Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope (KELT) exoplanet discovery project, which is owned and operated by Lehigh University, The Ohio State University and Vanderbilt University. "KELT is a wonderful collaboration of exoplanetary scientists," Reed said. "I am extremely grateful for
the valuable opportunities they have afforded me and my students!" The newly-discovered exoplanet orbits a star, KELT-23A, that is located 408 light-years from Earth and is nearly identical to our own Sun. The planet itself is a "hot Jupiter," meaning that it is a giant, gaseous planet like our Jupiter; however, this exoplanet is slightly different than our Jupiter because it lies extremely close to its host star.

Exoplanet Continued from page 31
mere 2.8 million miles from KELT-23A, KELT-23Ab completes a full orbit every 2.26 days. Using additional data from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft, the team determined that KELT23A is actually a member of a wide binary star system. The KELT-23A system orbits another star, KELT23B, that is much smaller and cooler than the Sun. KELT-23A and KELT-23B lie about 600 astronomical units from each other, taking more than 10,000 years to complete a single orbit. This discovery is important because it contributes to currently developing models about how hot Jupiters are formed. Jupiterlike planets must form farther from their host stars, where temperatures are cooler, and then migrate inward toward the star. This inward migration may be occurring via interactions with a distant companion star. In the case of KELT-23Ab, the planet is still migrating in towards KELT-23A and will likely reach the star within the next billion years. The position of the exoplanet is ideal for future observations by space-based telescopes. Due to its proximity to the constellation Ursa Minor, KELT23Ab is near the continuous viewing zones of both NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) AUGUST 15, 2019 || townandcountrygazette.com
space-based observatories. TESS, which will begin observing the northern sky later this year, has the precision to discover other planets in the KELT-23A system, and possibly even Earth-sized objects. JWST, which is expected to launch in 2021, will study the formation and evolution of galaxies, stars and planetary systems using infrared technology, which gives the JWST a better advantage at examining cool objects and makes KELT-23Ab a prime candidate for study.

The Skin Cancer Foundation Shares Sun Protection Tips for Young Children submited by Arielle Grabel
As we inch closer to September, many families may want to take advantage of the last full summer month by spending a lot of time outdoors. But whether you’re barbecuing in the backyard or taking a vacation at the beach, it’s important to remember sun protection for any little ones enjoying the summer sun with you. Babies are especially vulnerable to sun damage due to their relative lack of melanin, the skin pigment that provides some sun protection, so protecting them from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation is imperative. “All of the sun damage we receive as children adds up and greatly increases skin cancer risk later in life,” says Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation. “That’s why it’s so important that parents make sun protection for infants and toddlers a priority and eventually teach children these habits that will benefit them for many years to come.” The Skin Cancer Foundation wants parents and caregivers to know that skin cancer is highly preventable and offers the following tips to help keep young children sun-safe for the rest of the summer and all year long: Seek Shade. Avoid direct sun exposure during peak sun hours, between 10 AM and 4 PM, and use an umbrella while on the beach. On walks, keep to the shady side of the street and use a sun shield on your stroller. Cover Up. Keep your baby covered up with a brimmed hat and lightweight clothing that fully covers the arms and legs. For added protection, look for special clothing marked with an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 30 or more. Be Careful in the Car. While glass screens out most UVB rays, the main cause of sunburn, UVA rays can penetrate windows. Like UVB rays, UVA rays damage DNA and can lead to skin cancer. By law, front windshields are treated to filter out most UVA, but side and rear windows generally aren’t. Consider buying a UV shield, which you can hang over any window that allows sunlight to reach the child’s car seat. Another option is to install professional UV-blocking window film. Start Sunscreen at 6 Months. Since infants’ skin is so sensitive, it’s best to keep them out of the sun completely. Beginning at 6 months of age, you can introduce sunscreen use. Choose a broadspectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF AUGUST 15, 2019 || townandcountrygazette.com
of 30 or higher. Look at active ingredients; zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are good choices, because these inorganic filters are less apt to cause a skin reaction. You may want to test sunscreen on the inside of your baby’s wrist. If the child has a little irritation, try another sunscreen. Use Sunscreen As Directed. Use sunscreen on all exposed areas not covered by clothing, such as the back of the hands, face, ears and neck. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going out and reapply it every two hours and immediately after swimming or sweating. Toddlers rarely stand still, so you may need to get creative with your sunscreen application routine. Sunscreen sticks work well for the face and hands, since the child is less likely to rub the product into their eyes. Sprays are another good option. Make sure to apply the sunscreen evenly and liberally all over exposed skin, then rub in. For the face, spray into your hands, then apply to your child’s face. For more information, visit The Skin Cancer Foundation’s website, SkinCancer.org. About The Skin Cancer Foundation The Skin Cancer Foundation is the only global organization solely devoted to the prevention, early detection and treatment of skin cancer. The mission of the Foundation is to decrease the incidence of skin cancer through public and professional education and research. Since its inception in 1979, the Foundation has recommended following a complete sun protection regimen that includes seeking shade and covering up with clothing, including a wide-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses, in addition to daily sunscreen use.

How to Make This School Year the Best One Yet by Christine S Allen, president Reading Escapades & Math Explorers, Inc
I hope you had a wonderful summer with your children and your family was able to do at least a few fun things before school starts again. Talking about school starting…is your family ready to make THIS year the BEST year ever? One where your children are both happy and successful? For most families, that sounds like an impossible dream. There is often yelling, tears, and meltdowns when it comes time to do homework or study for tests. However, it doesn’t have to be that way.

One of the most important things you can do is to spend more time with your children as well as LISTEN to what they have to say. Make sure you have conversations with your children. Yes, I know, you probably say that you do, and all they come back with is “I don’t know” or one-word answers. You can fix that by learning about what they are interested in and asking them open-ended questions that require more than one-word answers. I promise you that after a while of talking about things they like, you can start talking about things you like, then important life skills. It is at this point your children will start to listen and pay attention to you. In addition to talking, make sure you do FUN things as a family. Depending on the age, they may balk, but all the families that I worked with, including my own sons, have all come back when they are older and thanked us for not giving up.

A Fun, Informative Series of Presentations on Water submitted by Kelly M Bond
Lehigh and Northampton County Master Watershed Stewards TapTalks are a Fun, Informative Series of Presentations on Water quality topics. These workshops are scheduled at various locations around the Lehigh Valley and highlight presentations by local Water Resource Professionals and Penn State Extension Master Watershed Steward Volunteers. The programs are typically scheduled for one and a half hours; however, time varies among presenters and venues. History of Water Quality in the Lehigh Valley, is September 5, 2019, 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm at Birthright Brewing Company, 57 S Main St, Nazareth, PA 18064 Jim Wilson Northampton County Parks, presents the history of water quality in the Lehigh Valley. James Henry was a wealthy businessman, a fantastic conservationist, and educator, who, it turns out, was the father of riparian buffers, even before that was a coined phrase. Henry grew up in an expanded log cabin along the banks of Bushkill
Creek in today’s Jacobsburg State Park in Bushkill Township, right here in the Valley. He partnered with state legislators to draft the first state bill for protecting PA streams by reforesting them. He was also a huge advocate for conservation education in Colleges and Universities across the State and the Nation. https://extension.psu.edu/master-watershedsteward-taptalks-history-of-water-quality-in-thevalley-and-beyond or 1-877-345-0691.

Grischliche Lewe fer die alt deitsch Buschleit: Liebt Gott un liebt dei Nochber! In die Karrich geh waar wickdich fer die Bauereleit un do sin Lesing, wu, ich meen, sie vielmols gheert hen. Die erscht Lesing: Mattheus 22: 34-40 34 Awwer wo die Phaerriseher gheert hen, wie er die Saedduzeher ihre Maul gschtoppt hen, hen sie sich versammelt. 35 Un eener unner ihne, en Schrift-gelehrde, hot ihn ebbes gfrogt fer ihn ausbrowiere, 36 „Meeschder, wells iss es greesscht Gebott im Gsetz?“ 37 Yesus awwer hot zu ihm gsaagt, „Du sollscht der Herr, die Gott, liewe mit deim ganze Hatz, un mit deinre ganze Seel un mit deinre ganze Meind. 38 Des iss es erscht un greesscht Gebott. 39 Es annere awwer iss ihm gleich: Du sollscht dei Nochber liewe wie dich selwert. 40 Uff die zwee Gebodde henkt’s ganz Gsetz un die Brofeede. Die zwett Lesing: Mattheus 25: 31-46 31 Wann der Soh vun Mensch kumme watt in seiner Harrlichkeet, un all seine heiliche Engel mit ihm, dann watt er sitze uff dem Schtuhl vun seiner Harrlichkeet. 32 Un vanne ihm warre alle Volke vun alle Lenner versammelt warre.

33 Un er dutt die Schof uff seinre rechtse Seit un die Gees uff seinre linkse Seit. 34 Noh saagt der Keenich zu selle uff seinre rechtse Seit, „Kummt her, dihr Gsegende vun meim Vadder, ererbt es Reich, was gerischt waar fer eich zidder em Aafang vun der Welt! 35 Fer ich waar hungerich un dihr hett mir ebbes gewwe zu esse.

Going to church was important for the farm families and here are Scripture readings that I think they heard many times. [These are in Dutch, not in German as in the old days.] The first reading: Matthew 22: 34-40 (NRS) 34 When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, 35 and one of them, a lawyer, asked [Jesus] a question to test him. 36 "Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?" 37 He said to him, " "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: "You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." The second reading: Matthew 25:31-46 (NRS) 31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, 33 and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. 34 Then the king will say to those at his right hand, "Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 35 for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, "Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink?

38 And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? 39 And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?' 40 And the king will answer them, "Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.' 41 Then he will say to those at his left hand, "You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; 42 for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I

was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.' 44 Then they also will answer, "Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?' 45 Then he will answer them, "Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.' 46 And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." [No sermonizing, just some scripture readings in our Dutch as one would hear them at a Pennsylvania German church service. The sources for the Dutch translation are Luther’s German Bible (1912) and the Amish Bible (2002).]

Perfect Lunch Ideas for Picky Eaters at School, Home, or Daycare by Alisha Grogan MOT, OTR/L
Come get these perfect kid’s lunch ideas for picky eaters to eat at school, daycare, or home. You’ll get some new ideas and understand why these foods might work for your picky eater. When you’ve got a picky eater, lunch time can feel a little monotonous as you serve the same few foods day after day. You want your child to eat, but changing up their favorites could lead to a disastrous meal. And, if your child needs to have their lunch packed for school or daycare, it can become even more challenging. As an OT, I’ve worked with many families who’ve gotten well-meaning, but misguided notes and phone calls with concerns their child wasn’t eating enough or had a nutritious lunch. While every picky eater is a little unique snowflake, there are some common themes that tend to unify them in what they will eat. I’ve built on the textures, smells, and tastes that picky eaters tend to accept in pulling together these awesome lunch ideas. Having said that, we do need to be real about picky eater nature, and anything new may send off the warning bells. I want to stress here and now that it’s crucial for you to serve any new lunches with
something they typically eat. And, know that it can take several (or many attempts) before they accept a new food. I’ve got some additional tips at the end of this article, but if you want to tap into all my resources. Head to the Picky Eating Blueprint (you don’t want to miss it.) One last note before we get to the kid’s lunch ideas for picky eaters, while I put a very high value on health and nutrition in my own life, when I’m working on getting a picky eater to expand their variety of foods, I put that on the back burner. Not to mention that everyone’s definition of “healthy” is different. Any new food your child eats is a win and the more foods you can get into their diet, the more you can rotate through. Plus, those new foods will help your child accept others. Here are the lunch ideas for picky eaters: • Diced Cheese, Deli Meat, Crackers, Pickles, and Watermelon: Platters with a few options work so well for picky eaters. • Bacon, Hard-boiled Egg, and Sliced Apples:

Picky Eaters Continued from page 56
Bacon is an awesome source of protein for crunchy food lovers. • Toasted Ham/Turkey Sandwich with Cucumbers: Toasting the bread on sandwiches helps the crunchy food crowd and cucumbers have a very mild taste compared to other veggies. • Bagel or English Muffin Pizza: Have your kiddo help you make this one! Head over to pizza recipes for kids to get the recipe and other ideas. • Mac and Cheese with Raw Veggies: A classic for sure, if your child allows, make with whole wheat noodles for more fiber. • Dino-Nuggets, Veggie Straws, and Blueberries: This specific brand of chicken nuggets is super successful for picky eaters because they’re thin (aka not a mouthful of overwhelming dry chicken texture) and have the fun factor. I overcook mine slightly in the oven, so that they’re a little crunchy too! • Mini-Meatballs, Garlic Bread, and Spaghetti Sauce for Dipping: Small is always better for picky eaters, bite sized meatballs will have a less squishy texture than a larger cut up meatball! • Quesadilla and sliced cherry tomatoes: You can make this quesadilla plain cheese, but you also have

the option to add chicken, beans, or avocado. Just take it slow with the other toppings and make sure they’re finely diced. Not in an effort to trick them, but because it minimizes texture. • Mini Quiche and Pears: I like the frozen store bought kind because they are packed tight. Again, small matters here! • Nachos and Applesauce: Use shredded cheese and allow them to get a little crispy. Include other toppings on the side like beans, avocado, and tomato. • Wafflewich and Raw Carrots: Have a waffle maker? Squeeze a grilled cheese sandwich inside and consider adding some deli meat or fresh spinach. • Hot dogs, Bun, and Strawberries: Dice the hot dog and strawberries to decrease texture, and serve with a dip, even if your kid doesn’t usually eat dips like ketchup. • Baked Whole Wheat Soft Pretzels, Cheese Stick, and Sliced Apple: Look for frozen pretzel varieties or make your own. If cheese sticks are new for your child, try cutting them in pieces and not letting it get stringy, those are much more likely to bother picky eaters because of the sensory component. • Peanut butter and banana sandwich: My recovering picky eater actually loves this open faced and even tolerates some healthy chia seeds sprinkled on top. Cut it into quarters and try to keep the peanut butter from oozing out of the sides. Picky eaters that

don’t like getting messy may not eat it if it already looks messy. • Butter noodles, pepperoni, and apple: Plain noodles is often where picky eaters will start, and surprisingly some love a little spice. If that’s your kid try pepperoni, some stores even have a mini size that would work well! Tips for Getting the Most Out of Lunch Ideas for Picky EatersAs promised, I have some powerful tips to help you get the most out of serving new lunches to your picky eater: 1. ALWAYS serve one food they usually eat – I already mentioned this one, but it’s important! A picky eater must see at least one food that is familiar or else they may as well be staring at a plate of cockroaches and will react that way. And, if you’d like a handy printable with even more food and meal ideas for picky eaters. 2. Focus on textures YOUR child likes – Your child probably won’t like every lunch idea on this list, but you can make some pretty good guesses as to which will be the most successful, if you think about what your child already eats. For instance, if they love noodles and bread, they may like other soft textures. Or, if your child loves crunchy foods and doesn’t eat meat, then I’d try bacon. 3. Eat lunch WITH your child – This isn’t always possible, but making it a priority will actually help you both. Focus on spending time together and not what their eating. Taking the pressure off during meals can have huge effects. 4. DON’T expect them to eat everything – I know it feels so good to our tender parent hearts when our kids shovel in food and fill their bellies, but most meals are probably not going down that way, especially with a picky eater. Making this small mindset shift can save you a lot of frustration. 5. Use DIVIDED plates or compartments – This is true for the youngest to oldest kids. And while the smell of food is enough to cause some picky eaters to throw a fit, simply making sure that unknown or new foods aren’t touching the foods
they do like is critical. Even if they can’t verbalize it, the fear that a crumb of something new is going to contaminate and change their favorite food is real. We’ve used these divided plates in my house for years. I love them because they are durable and have deep bowls that are perfect for a wide range of foods. 6. Use lunch time to your ADVANTAGE – If you’re child is eating away from home, ask your child or their caregiver what some of the other kids are eating on a regular basis. Packing that for your child could help them try something new if they see other kids eating it.

6 Perfect Back-to-School Read Alouds by Elizabeth Mulvahill ~ weareteachers.com
We all know that the first weeks of school with our students can truly set the stage for the entire year. Read-aloud books are a great way to facilitate class discussions, encourage students to feel comfortable sharing, and help you and your students establish which values will define your class’s identity. Here are some of our favorite back-toschool books, including a few just-released titles from favorite authors. 1. The Pigeon Has to Go to School by Mo Willems (Pre-K–2) This silly picture book addresses many of the fears and anxieties that little ones feel as they get ready to go to school for the first time. It’s brand new but has quickly joined our list of favorite backto-school books. 2. School’s First Day of School by Adam Rex and Christian Robinson (K–2) There are books about children, parents, and teachers being nervous for the first day of school. This adorable book examines the first day of school from the perspective of the school itself. 3. Brown Bear Starts School by Sue Tarsky and
Marina Aizen (Pre-K–K) A brand-new book about sweet little Brown Bear and his worries about the first day of school. Soon he realizes he is more capable than he thought. 4. Pirates Don’t Go to Kindergarten! by Lisa Robinson and Eda Kaban (Pre-K–2) Ahoy, mateys! Pirate Emma has a hard time transitioning from her beloved preschool captain to the new captain aboard the S.S. Kindergarten. This just-released story will have your students saying “aargh!” 5. How to Read a Book by Kwame Alexander and Melissa Sweet (K–5) A beautifully illustrated book about the miraculous pleasures of reading that will inspire the book lover in all of us. One reader gushes, “Every page is a wonder as the words and art melt into one.” 6. The King of Kindergarten by Derrick Barnes and Vanessa Brantley-Newton (Pre-K–K) The bubbly main character of this sweet story is bursting with excitement for the first day of school. His confidence will be contagious for your new kindergartners.
