8 Tips To Heat Your Home Efficiently This Fall By: Molly Morabito. Alliance To Save Energy

October is National Energy Action month, and with a new fall chill in the air, it’s also the perfect time to start saving energy at home. But how to do it? Considering that space heating is typically the largest energy expense in American households, making up nearly 45% of residential energy bills, that’s a pretty good place to start. So grab a pumpkin spice latte, pull on a cozy sweater, and check out these tips for reducing the amount of energy you use to heat up your home.

4

1. Fight the draft - Keep heat from escaping by sealing up gaps or leaks around your home. Caulk windows and apply weatherstrips to doors, and look for gaps around your electrical outlets. These simple tasks can save you up to 20% on your heating bill!

2. Don’t block your vents - Don’t make your heater work harder than it has to - make sure your furniture or drapes aren’t blocking your vents. For an extra touch, vacuum out dust or pet hair from the dampers to make sure they’re working effectively.

3. Reset your water heater - If you’ve never run out of hot water, you’ve probably set your water heater too high! Before winter arrives, turn down your thermostat to somewhere between 110 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit and avoid scalding your hands every time you wash up.

4. Make the switch - Check your furnace filter on a regular basis to make sure you change it when it’s visibly dirty or every 3 months. Also consider getting a semi-annual “tune-up” to your heating and cooling system from a qualified contractor to ensure savings over time.

5. Insulate - The start of the cooler months is a good time to add insulation to your home. If your home uses less 12 inches of insulation, chances are your home is losing heat. Add insulation to your attic to prevent it from escape.

6. Run your fan the right way - Even the small things help! Make sure your ceiling fan is running counter-clockwise. The warmest air in your home is closest to the roof, so when your fan runs the right way it will push that air up into the ceiling and then down along your walls, adding an extra layer of warmth.

7. Sun power - Open the curtains on your southfacing windows during the day to absorb heat from the sun’s natural rays. Pull them closed again at night to reduce the chill.

8. Adjust the thermostat - Whether you have a manual or programmable thermostat, the Department of Energy (DOE) recommends a

temperature of 68°F while you're awake and lower while asleep or away from home - that can save you up to10% a year on energy. To learn more about the options available, take a look at Department of Energy’s thermostat guide!

Es waar net lang, vleicht fimf, sechs Yaahr, As Veggel hen mit Lehm‘ un Haar Ihr Nesehder neigebaut; Sei Bledder mache Dach fer's Haus, Sie halte Sunn un Regge draus, Ihr Gsang hot siess gelaut.

Wie ich waar noch en yunger Bu, Wie's ewwe geht, hot die Unruh Mich nausgeyaagt ins Feld; Datt waar en gleener Kesehdebaam, En gleeni Wipp, so aarn un laahm, Doch was er schtrack sich schtellt!

Im Winder, wie's gewehnlich geht, Hot Wind sei Bledder weck geweht, Waar yuscht en Schtarze meh ; Weil ich im Haus waar schnock un waarm, Schteht er datt draus so kalt un aarm, Un ach, so gans allee.

Ich hab en gleeni Fens drum gschtellt, Wann ebber naus geht do ins Feld, Dass er net driwwer laaft; Noh hab ich datt en Schtickel gsetzt, Un druff es Yaahrzaahl gschnitte, yetzt, Ihn selle Weg gedaaft.

In paar Yaahr bin ich owwenaus, Der Baam macht fatt, schloft ei, schlagt aus, Wie Beem gewehnlich duhn; Un's waar vleieht fimf-un-zwansich Yaahr Bis ich bin z‘rick un guck devor En scheener Daag im June.

Un iss der Baam verhaust mit Schtarm, Die Niss verdrickelt un voll Warm, Dann waerd er umgemacht; Ich hoff as unser Baam gedrei, Vun Not, Versuch verhiedet sei, In alles gut bedracht, Wann wie der Baam mir schtarrick schtehn, Un ehrlich un uffrichtich gehn, Un gewwe ebbes her; Iss unser Aernzeit siess un voll, Wie mer vum Baam verwaarde soll, Noh gebt die Welt uns Ehr. -Ralph Funk

The Chestnut Tree When I was still a young boy, Like it always goes, restlessness Chased me out in the field; A little chestnut tree was there, A little whip, so ‘poor’ and ‘lame’ Yet how he stood so straight!

I erected a little fence around it, If anyone went out there in the field, That he would not walk over it; Then I placed a stake there, And carved the year on it, yet, ‘Baptized’ him in that way.

From day to day the sunshine, The rain and pure snow-water Watered the tree well; And nutrients from the bosom of the earth Also supported him well, Slowly improved him.

It was not long, perhaps five or six years, That birds with clay and ‘hair’ Built their nests in [the branches]; The branches make a roof for the ‘house’, They keep out the sun and the rain, Their song sounded sweet.

In winder, as it usually goes, The wind blew away his leaves, Was just a stem anymore; While I was snug and warm in the house, He stood out there so cold and pitiful, And, O my, so completely alone.

In a few years I left home, The tree continues on, goes dormant, grows New leaves, like trees usually do; And it was perhaps twenty-five years Until I went back and looked for the tree [On] a beautiful day in June.

My, just look once, such a large tree, And no longer small and ‘poor’ and ‘lame’, How I saw him the last time; The fence destroyed – nothing is there – The stake rotted away and no longer there, He doesn’t need a marker anymore.

A few dozen bird nests are in it And when I look around further, His porcupines are nice and fat; Continued on page 12 News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || OCTOBER 5, 2017

Touch of Dutch And later when it gives frosts, He throws heaps of chestnuts on the lot And does not take any back.

We stand before all people now, The eyes of the world are focused To see what will be our ‘harvest’; The storms of misfortune blow hard, Fear and doubt are also there, Temptation seizes us so willingly.

Creatures and birds – mankind also – Know about the ‘fruit’ then handy, He also refuses no one; Gives everything which he has in nuts, Even himself, when it is necessary, This is his honest ‘job.’

As nature works, so is the tree, It is fruitful or ‘poor’ and ‘lame,’ The tree cannot do anything about it; For us, however, for bad or good, We can do exactly like it suits us, No one says [anything]against that.

So while I contemplate and dream, Are we not like the chestnut tree In many ways?

When we are small, so sweet and soft, Our parents, with love and care, Are putting up fences around us.

And is the tree ruined by a storm, The nuts dried up and full of worms, Then he would be cut down; I hope our ‘tree’ [is] faithful, Of necessity, temptation to be avoided, In everything considering good.

We grow a little every day, Do little tasks, like I told you Previously of the little tree; Then comes a day, that we are ready, Then we go far out in the world, Leaving home.

When like the tree we stand strong, And go about honestly and uprightly, And contribute something here; Our ‘harvest time’ is sweet and full, Like one should expect from the tree, Then the world will give us honor!

Who initiated the Serendipity of the Creation of the book Jack the Junco?

Written by Rena Garrity

My brother John, also known as Jack Russell Garrity, is a retired art teacher of Northern Lehigh schools.

He hiked the Appalachian trails near our family home in Walnutport Pa. for many years. One day Jack was notified of an incoming student teacher named Molly.

Who would have thought this was the beginning of a 40 year friendship? After training Molly in the skills of becoming an art educator and setting her on her way in the work world, their friendship ensued. Over the years they shared the silence of nature during hikes, walking the Blue Mountain trails, feeling the texture of the wind, floating down the Lehigh River, listening to the music of the refreshing Waters. Like a song, a poem, a smile or laughter which calms life's rush; their souls became centered in nature's creations, provided by God. One day years later on John's mountain walk with Comet his English Setter, he experienced an unforgettable moment. His dog pointed to a struggling bird. The bird thought its bramble bush home, with its thorns, was a safe place for its family. To the bird's surprise it became hopelessly trapped in the little world he chose. My brother told Molly of the incident

he saw in the woods, and though many years have now passed ( John is now 86 years young), he and Molly collaborated in writing the children's story and finally, a storybook was born.

The book, now complete, is an invitation for people to renew life by helping one another to be set free like little bird in the story. Two Souls met serendipitously through this friendship to create a blessing~ a Charming book entitled Jack the Junco. So, family and friends be graced by this little story which reminds us all of forgiveness, love, freedom, and most of all peace.The book was co-authored by my brother John Garrity and Molly Troxell and is filled with 50 heartwarming illustrations created by Molly. This children's book, Jack the Junco can be purchased on amazon.com in soft cover by simple entering the book title. During canal days in Walnutport on the third Sunday of October you are welcome to visit and experience a" Craftsman's home" which holds beautiful sculptures. There you will see on the wall a mural of canal history circa 1900 also created by my brother. The address is 30 North Canal Street Walnutport PA. God is good and creativity is a gift.

Honoring Doris Smith submitted by WANDA OWENS

The Slatington Public Library will be honoring Doris Smith on Tuesday October 10th at 6:00 pm.

Her name will be added to the Louise Hallman Memorial Plaque located in the front of the library.

Doris was a math teacher who taught for many years in the Northern Lehigh School District. She continued to tutor students after her retirement, and she served on the Slatington Public Library Board of Directors for over twenty years. She was still active on the board at the time of her death earlier this year.

Doris Smith touched the lives of many students in her tenure at Northern Lehigh, and she was an integral part of the success of our library. We invite friends and relatives of Doris to join the Library Board and Staff as we honor Doris’s service to the Northern Lehigh Community. Light refreshments will be served after the ceremony.

Northern Lehigh Trail Town - Welcome Center After reviewing the data collected with our Trail Town surveys and collecting information at the successful public meeting held in June, Northern Lehigh Recreation and the Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) continue to work together to make Northern Lehigh (Borough of Slatington, Borough of Walnutport, Washington Township) the first designated ‘Trail Town’ on the D&L. Within the next month you will see new and updated signage added on and around the D&L trail and the trailheads as well as some additional improvements coming in the spring of 2018.

The community feedback we received also sparked the idea of having a welcome center/visitor center on the Slatington Trailhead to welcome trail users to Northern Lehigh. At the welcome center, we will provide maps of the area including trail friendly business listing, information on the areas historic significance, promote local events and businesses, take an active role in improving the visitors overall experience and more. Every Saturday and Sunday throughout the month of October 2017 the welcome center will be staffed with volunteers from 9:00am – 1:00pm as we continue to connect with trail users. We plan to fully launch the welcome

center in the Spring of 2018! The Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) & Northern Lehigh Recreation are thrilled to collaborate on this venture to enhance connection between towns and trails! For additional information about The Delaware and Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) Trail Town program please contact Brian Greene at programs@delawareandlehigh.org.

For additional information about Northern Lehigh Recreation, and/or if you would like your business listed on our information and have something to offer trail users, please contact Mike Kukitz at MikeK@NorthernLehighRec.org. Visit our website at www.NorthernLehighRec.org for local programs, events and classes being offered across Northern Lehigh.

About The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L): The Delaware & Lehigh National Heritage Corridor (D&L) is both a diverse, multi-faceted organization, and a multi-use trail spanning 165 miles from the mountains of northeast Pennsylvania through the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. The D&L is a true public-private partnership. Passionate residents and volunteers work alongside local, regional, and national entities to conserve cultural and natural resources in the five-county region of eastern Pennsylvania.

Slatington Lions Club Car Show It’s the Volunteers that made our car show run smoothly

The 29th Annual Slatington Lions Club Car Show, was scheduled for Sunday Sept.

3rd. Since the weather was raining and misty on Sunday we had to postpone our show till Monday. This was only the second time in 29 years there was a postponement. The car show is one of our most important fundraisers of the year.

Sept. 4th, was a great day at the Slatington Airport. 310 cars were registered ranging in years from 1923 to the present. Among the many vehicles registered were a 1928 Seagrave Fire Engine, a 1924 Jewett Sedan, a 1933 International D1 Truck, a 1941 Mercury Pickup Truck, a 1948 Ford Anglia, a 1967 Ford T-5 Hardtop, Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes, GTO’s and even a Hellcat. We had mostly local vehicles attending but had a few from outside the area. One driving from Fredericksburg, MD in a former Slatington Police Car, and others out East to Jersey City, NJ. The categories included: vehicles for each decade, street rods, trucks, Rat Rods, and Foreign Cars. We had new cars on display from our Slatington Dealership Rentschler Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Chevrolet. Thanks to our sponsors. Every year we reach out to local businesses to sponsor our trophies that are awarded in several different categories. These sponsors are an important part of this event, and we thank you for your support. We thank those businesses that made a donation as well. Thanks to the generosity of the Burger King of Walnutport for the many free meals that we used for prizes in our trivia questions during the day. Thanks to Roger Sell who closes up his airport for our Car Show. Thank you to Berger Sanitation for the use of a dumpster for our show. We really need this for all the cleanup for a show this size. Thank you for JJS Land Development for letting us use their property to park vehicles during the car show. Their generosity and support is vital to the success of this event. I would also like to thank Thomson’s Meat Market for the use of their freezer trailer to keep our food and drinks cold during the show. Northern Lehigh Middle School Principal Jill Chamberlain for coming out so we can pick up our ice buckets on an early holiday too. A big Thank You to Slatington and Walnutport Police for attending. Their presence made the show a real community event. Thanks to our invaluable volunteers: our wives and family members for helping. Thank you for always being there when we need you. Our Committee worked especially hard in the planning of this event during the year. My gratitude to Tommy Nicholson, Charlie Sule, Jeff Kunkle, and Dan Ehrich. The extra effort you put in to make this event flow smoothly is truly appreciated. My fellow Lions members and guests for the outstanding job they did at setting-up, working during the event and with the clean up after the show.

Finally, thank you to all the car owners who participated this year and to all the spectators who helped make the day a festive and fun day. You can view our winners lists and some photos on our Facebook page: LionsClubofSlatington I hope to see you there next year. President Matt Guesto, Slatington Lions Club

15 Autumn Wellness Tips to Keep You Healthy This Fall

By ALYSE RURIANI

The transition from summer to fall can be a challenge. To help ease the change, we have put together 15 Autumn Wellness Tips to get you ready for the colder months and keep your mental (and physical!) health in check.

Start taking a Vitamin D supplement. We get most of our Vitamin D from the sun, so our intake decreases when the weather is colder since we spend most of our time inside during the fall/ winter seasons. If you find you are not getting outside much, a Vitamin D supplement can boost your mood and immune system!

Take some time to yourself. Autumn and winter are the Earth’s way of telling us to slow down. Start a journal or track your moods to get more in touch with how your feeling.

Get your flu shot and yearly checkup. Self explanatory! No one likes sniffling and aching and sneezing and coughing getting in the way of life. Yuck.

You don’t want to be Sicky Vicky Boost your immune system. You can do this by drinking plenty of water, washing your hands often

WHY DO YOU SUFFER?

Just because you are a senior citizen doesn’t mean that you have to feel that way. Who said the Golden Years have to be so lousy? Imagine yourself just a few short years ago. Don’t you want to feel that good again? I know you want to! Because I have helped thousands of people over the past twenty years, I understand what causes pain and how to fix it. If I can’t fix or alleviate your pain, then nobody can. I mean that!

IT IS BETTER TO BE THE MASTER OF YOUR HEALTH THAN THE SERVANT OF YOUR HEALTH PROBLEMS

to prevent sickness, and eating nutritious foods.

Get yourself ready for Daylight Savings Time. Go to bed earlier when you can, especially the week before the clocks change. Longer periods of darkness = longer periods of sleep!

Don’t forget to change any manual clocks (like an alarm clock!)

Make some plans for the cold months. In the winter, we tend to hibernate if we don’t have things to keep us busy.

Moisturize your skin. Harsh temperatures can make your skin dry. Also, you still should be wearing sunscreen.

Buy in-season food. Beets, broccoli, cabbage, eggplant, kale, pumpkin, broths, roasted squash, roots and sautéed dark leafy greens are all great choices.

I don’t think Pumpkin Spice Lattes count, but you do you.

Stay active! It can be easy to just sit around all the time, but it’s important to get in some movement throughout the day. Raking leaves or shoveling snow counts!

Local Attorney Guest Appearance on National Public Radio Attorney Charles Stopp of the Law Offices of Steckel and Stopp with offices in Northern Lehigh, Parkland and Northampton as well as an affiliate office in Bethlehem recently participated as a guest on the local National Public Radio affiliate WDIY in Bethlehem. The host of the show was Laurie Siebert, CPA, CFP, AEP. The subject of the session was to discuss a variety of trusts, both revocable and irrevocable, and how various trusts can benefit individuals in the estate planning process. The subject included the interplay between various trusts, Federal estate taxes, and Pennsylvania Inheritance Taxes as well as creating protections for the preservation of assets and dealing with beneficiaries’ particular needs including special needs beneficiaries.

News@TownAndCountryGazette.com || OCTOBER 5, 2017

Wear layers and protect your body from the dropping temperature. Make sure you have gloves, a scarf, ear muffs, a winter coat, warm socks, and snow boots!

Don’t forget a snowsuit!

Do some “spring cleaning” in the fall. Clean out your closet, organize that back room, and rid yourself of things you don’t need.

Prepare your home for possible extreme weather conditions. Do you have a shovel and/or snow blower? Do your flashlights have batteries? Is your heat working okay?

Get some books to read and shows to watch. Who doesn’t want to sit by the fire on chilly winter

nights and read a good book or binge-watch some Netflix?

Just don’t get too engrossed… make sure to shower and change your clothes!

Keep a schedule. The cold months can seem to drag on and push us into isolation. Stay on track by scheduling time in your day to do things you like to do.

Be kind to yourself. The holidays can cause weight gain, the shorter days can cause low mood, and the flu season can cause sickness. Listen to your body and give it what it needs, and don’t beat yourself up! Try reframing negative thoughts into positive ones.

Fall Weather Safety Tips Continued from Page 24

is 6 inches of moving water to make you fall. And keep children and pets from playing in floodwater.

Leaf Hazards Leaves, while pretty, can pose hazards for motorists. Fallen leaves can gather on roadways and when they become wet, they can create very slick conditions. Add freezing temperatures to the mix and your vehicle will have zero tracking, similar to driving on an icy road. In addition, leaves can cover important road markings (double yellow lines, for example) or deep pot holes. So it’s important to slow down when driving on a leaf-covered roadway.

And always give yourself plenty of room between you and the cars around you in case anyone has to stop short.

Children often play in leaf piles so be alert! Never drive through a pile of leaves.

Many “leaf peepers” are out on the roadways and many can be distracted by foliage vistas. Be alert to what other motorists are doing.

Keep your windshield free of leaves so as to not obstruct your view. And if you see dried leaves peeking out from under the hood of your car, take a moment to pop it and clear them away before you take your trip as they can obstruct ventilation holes and overheat your vehicle.

Reduced Visibility With the days getting shorter, visibility when driving in the fall can be a challenge. Many people walk along the side of the road at dusk with dogs, on horses or riding bicycles, and they can be difficult to see. School is also in session so kids are out playing.

Mornings tend to be foggy. Additionally, fall is a time when wildlife is more active and on the move. Slow down when driving, especially on curvy or narrow roads where visibility around corners is difficult, and pay attention to postings for animal crossings, and obey school zone speed limits.

Weather Changes Fall foliage hikes are fabulous. If you take a hike, be prepared for weather changes as you increase elevation. It may be sunny at the base of the mountain but it could be cold and rainy or even snowy at the summit. Dress in layers, and bring a wind breaker or waterproof shell, plenty of water, and never hike alone.

Water Safety Many people like to take fall boat rides to see peak foliage. Even if things seem calm on the water, everyone on board should wear a life jacket. Being submerged in water of any temperature for any length of time can cause hypothermia and even the strongest swimmer can be weakened.

Here are a few more maintenance items to do this fall: 1. Get your furnace serviced. Before winter arrives, it’s a good idea to call a professional to do your annual furnace servicing now. Your furnace is by far the most important appliance in your home.

Have the filters cleaned or replaced. Check to see if you have an annual service contract, which will greatly bring down costs on this important maintenance step.

2. Fire Safety. When we “fall back” is the time when everyone should replace the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

It’s also a good idea to have a working fire extinguisher in the house, and everyone who lives there should be familiar with how it works. Hold a Fire Safety Meeting with family members and go over the steps. Do not do any outdoor burning when fire dangers are high. Flying embers can travel and start fires. Never leave candles unattended, especially in Jack-O-Lanterns or on table centerpieces.

3. Fireplaces. Get your chimney inspected every fall. Hire a chimney sweep to clean out your chimney of debris, nests, etc. before your light your first fire.

Use the fireplace screens to protect from flying sparks and embers. Never pour lighter fluid, kerosene or gasoline on a fireplace, and never leave a fireplace unattended.

We can however tell you if an animal would not be a good fit for a home with cats, dogs or children. What we share about the animal is what we have observed during their stay at the shelter. The best thing to do is to come to the shelter to meet the animal to see if you like his/her personality. You just simply can not tell if an animal is right for you over the phone or via email.

Fall Season Safety Tips

By KATE MILLER-WILSON

As the air turns cooler and leaves drop from the trees, it's important to keep a few important fall safety tips in mind. With proper precautions and safety awareness, your family can enjoy that crisp autumn weather while avoiding some of the dangers that come with the season.

Fire Safety Tips for Fall When the weather turns cold most people spend more time inside their homes using fireplaces, furnaces, and heaters to keep warm. There's nothing quite as cozy as a fire, but it presents some safety hazards. Keep these tips in mind.

Service Your Furnace Before the cold autumn and winter weather sets in, be sure to call your heating and cooling company to service your furnace. A specialist should inspect the furnace to make sure everything is in working order and that there are no leaks.

Use Fireplaces Safely Keep that fire in its proper place by using a fireplace screen to keep sparks from flying out of the fireplace. Never leave a burning fire unattended, and make sure a fire in a fireplace is completely out before going to bed.

Use Caution with Space Heaters A space heater can be an effective way to warm up a chilly room, but it's essential that you read the instructions on the unit before you use it. If your space heater requires venting, make sure you have vented it to the outdoors. Never use your stove or oven to heat your home; only use space heaters that are approved for this purpose. Always allow at least three feet of empty area around space heaters.

Reconsider Leaf Burning The Air Defenders reports that burning leaves produces dangerous and cancer-causing chemicals and urges homeowners to avoid disposing of leaves this way. If you decide to burn leaves, wear a protective mask. Burning leaves should only be attempted far away from a house or other structures on a homeowner's property. Always check the weather forecast before starting to burn leaves. This activity should not be attempted in windy conditions.

Exercise Candle Caution Candles are a great way to give a room that warm glow, but they can also cause fires. According to the National Candle Association, almost 10,000 home fires start with improper candle use. Never leave candles burning if you go out or go to sleep, and keep your candles away from pets and kids.

Change Smoke Alarm Batteries Change the batteries in your smoke alarms and

OCTOBER 5, 2017 || townandcountrygazette.com

carbon monoxide detectors when you turn back your clocks for Daylight Saving Time. Make sure to check the alarms with the new batteries installed.

Check and replace any home fire extinguishers that have expired.

Safety Tips for Fall Driving There's nothing more beautiful than a fall drive, but this season brings some unique hazards for drivers. Being aware of these potential dangers can help keep you and your family safe and prevent accidents.

Be Aware of Poor Visibility Falling leaves, while beautiful, can obscure your vision, as can rain and fog. Shorter days are part of the fall season, making it more difficult to see children playing or people walking and riding bicycles. Be aware of limitations in your visibility, and slow down if you can't see well. Use your dimmed headlights in bad weather with decreased visibility. If possible, try not to be on the roads when it's hard to see.

Watch for Children Children love to play in piles of leaves, so use extra caution where leaves are piled at curbside. In addition, the school bus will be making its rounds now that school is back in session. In addition to Continued on page 40

educating children about back-to-school safety, it's important to stay vigilant as a driver.

Slow Down on Wet Pavement In many areas of the country, rain is common during the autumn. If it's raining, keep a safe distance from the car in front of you. Wet roads make it more difficult to stop. When wet leaves are on roadways, they make the pavement slippery, and it can be difficult for drivers to get good traction.

Be Prepared for Bright Sunlight When sunrise occurs later in the morning, it can also present challenges for drivers. Have a pair of sunglasses in the vehicle to wear when the sun is bright is a good strategy. If it becomes too difficult to see because of bright sunlight or glare, a good strategy is for the driver to pull over until he or she can see again.

Watch Out for Ice As the temperatures drop further at night, a driver will need to spend some extra time in the morning scraping frost off his or her vehicle. Shady spots on the roadway may be home to black ice, which a driver may not be aware of until his or her car starts to skid on it.

Safety Tips for Fall Boaters According to a report from the US Coast Guard, autumn boating accidents are far more likely to be fatal than those that occur during the summer months. Although there are many more boating accidents in the summer season, boaters involved in accidents during the fall months are exposed to cold water and other weather hazards. Keep these tips in mind for safe autumn boating.

Be Prepared for Changing Weather Since fall weather can change quickly, you should always be prepared for possible cold, windy, and wet weather even if the sun is shining. Stay closer to shore, so you can turn back if the weather changes.

Bring appropriate clothing, such as warm coats, rain gear, and gloves.

Watch for Signs of Hypothermia Small open boats combined with cold, wet weather can lead to possible hypothermia. According to the Mayo Clinic, these are a few of the signs you should know: Shivering or trembling General lack of coordination, including stumbling and dropping things Drowsiness, confusion, and apathy Mumbling and slurring of words Weak pulse and shallow breathing

Tell Others About Your Trip Make sure you tell a friend or family member your boating plan and your expected return time.

There are fewer boaters in the fall to help in the case of an accident or emergency.

Always Wear Life Jackets Wearing your life jacket, while always a smart move, is even more important in the fall. If you should accidentally fall overboard, the cold water will quickly drain away your strength.

Autumn Home Maintenance Safety Tips Fall is the time for yard clean-ups and readying your house for the cold winter ahead. Keep these safety tips in mind as you work.

Look Up Before Pruning Trees If you have decided that your yard needs to be spruced up by trimming your trees, be sure to look up and survey the area carefully before you start.

Make careful note of where power lines are located before you set up your ladder so that it is positioned away from them.

Use Caution on Ladders Wearing appropriate footwear is important when using a ladder; shoes or boots may be wet, causing you to slip as you climb the ladder. The ladder should be positioned on a flat surface before use.

Be sure that the tools you are using are specifically designed for this purpose and are in good condition before starting work.

Clean Up Fallen Leaves Keep your driveway and walkway clear of falling leaves. Wet leaves can create a hazard for pedestrians in the fall by making sidewalks slippery. Later in the season, snow may mix with leaves to increase the risk of falling. Homeowners should mulch or rake up fallen leaves and dispose of them according to local bylaws.

Safely Enjoy the Beauty of the Season By keeping these important fall safety tips in mind, you can be sure you are doing everything you can to protect yourself and your family from seasonal dangers. This will leave your mind free to enjoy the beauty of this glorious season

Kutztown Church to Celebrate Life of Professor Henry W. Sharadin St. Paul's United Church of Christ in Kutztown will celebrate dedication Sunday on Oct. 8 at 2 p.m.

The church will dedicate improvements made over the past few years and gifts made by members of the congregation. St. Paul's is located at 47 South Whiteoak St., Kutztown. Speaking at the event will be Jerry Silberman, KU vice president for Administration and Finance. An open house will immediately follow the dedication.

Among those items being dedicated is a newly restored mural created more than 60 years ago by the late Henry W. Sharadin. The nine-foot by 14-foot mural was originally installed in the church's former Sunday school building which has since been demolished. The mural was broken into eight pieces in order to remove it from the building. It has been restored by local artist Johnathan Bond, Kempton, and installed in the church's new Sharadin Lounge.

Born in 1872, Sharadin was an 1891 graduate of Keystone State Normal School. After Keystone he received degrees in art from both the Pennsylvania Museum School of Industrial Arts, Philadelphia, and the Metropolitan Art School, New York City.

After several years of operating a gallery in Reading, Sharadin came back to Keystone in 1907 and served on the faculty for more than 30 years, retiring in 1939 from what was then Kutztown State Teachers College. He taught art for the Allentown School District from 1916 - 1919, his only departure from KSNS during his teaching career.

In 1924, Keystone State Normal School was granted authority to institute a three-year course designed to prepare and certify art supervisors.

Sharadin became the first chair of what is now the Department of Art Education and Crafts. Sharadin died in April, 1966, at the age of 93. The Sharadin Arts Building on the campus of Kutztown University is named in his honor. Contact John Keiser at 610683-3130 for more information.

How To Get Rid of Stink Bugs Source:www.bayeradvance.com

Seasonal changes in temperature and day length cue stink bugs to find winter quarters. These insects naturally spend winter holed up outdoors, but they’ll also seek shelter in structures like your home.

While stink bugs don’t bite, raid the pantry or munch clothing, they do have one problem: They stink.

Stink bugs release a foul odor when they’re disturbed or threatened. In the wild, this smell gives predators the brush-off. In a home setting, the smell lingers long past the time the stink bug may be dead, because it clings to whatever the insect touches.

Outdoors, stink bugs feast on plant material. They cause millions of dollars in economic damage by feeding on commercially produced fruit. Stink bug feeding lowers fruit value by roughly 90 percent, making it unfit for the fresh consumption market and destined for processing.

KEEPING STINK BUGS OUT To prevent stink bugs from entering your home, block all points of entry. The same principles used to keep boxelder bugs from entering a home apply to stink bugs. Physical barriers provide the most

effective long-term solution.

You can also apply an insecticide as a perimeter treatment outside your home. This method can block would-be insect invaders from entering your home for several days to a week.

Try these methods – which have been used successfully by homeowners and entomologists – to keep stink bugs at bay: Rub screens with dryer sheets – the more pungent the better. Some homeowners have found this can reduce stink bugs entering a home by up to 80 percent.

Hang a damp towel over a lawn chair or deck railing overnight. In the morning, stink bugs will blanket the towel. Dispatch bugs in a bucket of soapy water.

Squish a few stink bugs outdoors. The odor warns other stink bugs to flee.

INDOOR TACTICS When stink bugs appear indoors, your options vary based on how many bugs you’re facing. What can you do?

Don’t touch them directly or squish them.

Stink bugs move slowly enough that you can catch

them and deposit them outdoors in wintry climates (where they’ll freeze) or flush them into oblivion.

Grab them gently with a plastic bag to avoid touching them directly.

Take an empty water bottle and use the lid to flick the bug into the bottle. Tighten the lid to contain the smell, and place the whole thing outdoors. In cold climates, the bug will freeze. Re-use the bottle for more bug-catching.

Prepare a soapy solution for killing stink bugs.

Choose a straight-sided 1/2- or 1-gallon container.

Fill it with 2 cups hot water, 1 cup vinegar, and ½ cup dawn dish soap. When disturbed, stink bugs tend to drop downward. Knock them into the bucket from walls, draperies, screens, etc. Unable to escape, they will ultimately drown.

Vacuum bugs, and empty the bag afterward. Don’t suck stink bugs into a bagless vacuum you use in your home. After vacuuming stink bugs, the vacuum will stink.

Many homeowners in the worst-afflicted regions purchase small wet/dry vacs used solely for gathering stink bugs. Immediately after gathering bugs, dump the vacuum’s contents into a larger garbage bag and seal it tightly. Open the bag to add more bugs until garbage day arrives.

Another technique to try is to wrap a knee-high stocking around the outside of the vacuum tube, secure it with a rubber band, and then stuff it into

the tube. Stink bugs will be trapped in the stocking and won’t enter the vacuum filter. When you turn off the vacuum, careful remove the stocking, holding the end closed. Dump the captured stink bugs into a container of soapy water, as noted above, to kill the bugs.

Do not apply insecticides indoors to control stink bugs. While insecticidal dust may kill bugs in wall voids, the carcasses can stink and attract other pests, such as carpet beetles, which can damage other things in your home. Applying an interior pesticide along baseboards won’t kill stink bugs nor will it keep them from emerging around the baseboards.
