Back To School: Get a Smart Start to the School Year 

(BPT) - The start of the new school year is fast approaching. It's a time 

when kids will rush back to the classroom, ready to see their friends, 

enter a new grade and jump back into sports. While the last month of 

summer can be eaten up by never ending to-do lists, there are plenty 

of ways to make the transition from the carefree days of summer to the 

school year a breeze for parents and students alike. 

The key is getting organized and easing back into a routine so it doesn't 

feel like such an adjustment for the family. The following tips help both 

students and parents ease any last minute jitters and instead feel ready 

to conquer the year. 

• Plan outfits early: Nothing can throw off a morning routine like 

hearing, "Mom! I can't find my shoes!" The week before school starts, 

organize your child's closet with them, ensuring shoes, shirt and pants 

all live in their designated areas. Then, you can easily pick out outfits for 

the entire first week, allowing your child to infuse their personal style 

and guarantee excitement for the ever-important first day of school 

outfit. This will help establish the routine of always laying clothes out 

ahead of time, so getting dressed is a snap! 

• Conquer the routine: You can't spell lunch without PB&J. Never 

miss an ingredient with your digital personal assistant. With Microsoft's 

Windows 10 you can have Cortana remind you to get bread the next 

time you drive past a grocery store. Lisa Gurry, Microsoft's consumer 

lifestyle expert, says, "With my kids' school 20 minutes away, I rely on 

Cortana to alert me if traffic is causing a longer-than-normal commute. 

Cortana is a lifesaver!" With carpool and shopping done, your parent of 

the year award will be pending! 

• Reschedule bedtime: Long summer days mean later bedtimes. Two 

weeks before school starts, get your kids back on course by easing into 

earlier bedtime, but don't forget to wake them up earlier too! Setting 

daily reminders on your phone will keep you and your kids on track. 

• Upgrade your tech without breaking the bank: The only thing that 

moves faster than summer is tech innovation. This school year the best 

tech money can buy just might be free and waiting on your student's 

PC. Microsoft has made its latest software available for free with 

Windows 10, bringing users a suite of new features, including Cortana. 

To upgrade, visit www.Windows.com.

Italian Proverbs 

Ciao Amici, 

I thought I would share These Italian 

Proverbs that people followed in Roseto 

Valfortore in the early 1900’s 

10 Rules for a Good Family Life 

Joe DeFranco 

1. Fear God and respect the saints or else 

you will really repent it. 

2. The father is the father and he is experienced. The son will never 

fail if he imitates him. 

3. The elders are prudent and experienced. Do as they do and you 

will learn to prosper 

4. Always honor and obey your parents: then even the stones will 

love you. 

5. If you don’t listen to your helpful mother, everything will turn into 

crap right in your pants. 

6. Father is master 

7. Experience is power 

8. Work hard, work always, and you will never know hunger. 

9. Work honestly and don’t think of the rest. 

10. Whoever doesn’t want to work dies like a dog 

If only these rules applied in this day and age what a different world 

we would be living in.

TIP OF THE WEEK: Angelica Tea 

For those of you that suffer from Depression try Angelica Tea. It may 

enhance your mood, lift depression and improve general 

malaise. It also relieves nerve-related digestive 

problems and insomnia due to anxiety. Look for this 

tea in the organic section of a health food store.

Activated Charcoal 

By Jackie Talero-Rueda, The Crunchy Mom 

One of the things I will never leave without when going 

away on vacation or business (especially out of the 

country) is activated charcoal. I have used it to treat food 

poisoning, indigestion, and prevent and treat hangovers. It’s a natural 

substances mother nature gave us to help rid of toxins trapped in our 

body. Activated charcoal is nothing like the chemical filled charcoal 

purchased for the grill. Activated charcoal is a fine, black powder that 

is odorless, tasteless, and nontoxic. It is often used in high doses in 

emergency rooms to treat accidental poisoning. Activated charcoal is 

estimated to reduce absorption of poisonous substances up to 60%. It 

works by adsorbing chemicals, thus reducing their toxicity, through the 

entire length of the stomach and GI tract. In other words, the toxins bind 

to the charcoal and are carried out of the body. Activated charcoal is often 

given after the stomach is pumped at hospitals. Stomach pumping is only 

effective immediately after swallowing a toxic substance (within about 

one-half hour) and does not have effects that reach beyond the stomach 

as activated charcoal does. Activated charcoal can be used to naturally 

whiten teeth. Sprinkle a small amount on your toothbrush and brush 2-3 

times a week. Do not use if you have veneers or crowns as it could stain 

them. To help prevent a hangover take 2 capsules before or after a night 

of drinking with a glass of water. More may be taken but start with 2. To 

alleviate gas or bloating from a meal take 2 capsules with a glass of water 

before and drink another glass of water after the meal. If you suspect 

food poisoning take up to 5 capsules with plenty of water. It’s very 

important to drink water throughout the day to help the activated charcoal 

do its job. In case of accidental ingestion of a poisonous substance 

call poison control center immediately and tell them you have activated 

charcoal on hand. They will advice how much to use. Activated charcoal is 

also excellent for the treatment of spider bites and acne. For spider bites 

mix with coconut oil, apply on bite and bandage it. Reapply every couple 

hours. For acne mix a little with aloe vera gel and apply all over face as 

a mask, let dry and rinse off. It may also be used as a spot treatment. 

The activated charcoal binds with environmental toxins and dirt that 

contribute to acne. Other uses for activated charcoal 

include lowering high cholesterol, using as a detox, 

mold cleansing, and water filtration. Be careful with 

furniture, grout, and other porous surfaces when 

using as it stains everything. Take 3 hours prior or 

between taking mediation and other supplements as 

it will adsorb and prevent the body from absorbing 

it. Always consult a health care professional before 

starting any new supplements.

Ron DePaolo was presented the “Gene Hartzell Memorial Umpire 

Award” by the Northampton County American Legion Baseball

Ron is a Bangor native and began his baseball career at age nine. 

He first played little league for the Bangor Elks, and then moved on

“I was surprised and honored that the Northampton 

County American Legion Baseball Program chose to 

honor me with this award. Baseball and especially 

umpiring is something that is very near and dear to 

me.” said DePaolo

Chalk Walk Blazeatron: 

A Tribute to Blaze Buskirk 

Submitted By Gwen Thomas 

On July 20th, nine days after his 23 

birthday, the world lost one of the best 

people one would ever have the pleasure 

of knowing, Blaze Buskirk. I was lucky 

enough to be one of those people as he 

was a close friend. The news was heart 

breaking and every where I went, I was taunted by the reminder that he 

was gone. I would never have the chance to see him again. A day later, 

we were blessed with a beautiful, red, yellow, orange and pink blazing 

sky. Above that, a rainbow and the purest 

white cloud. I was not the only one to see a 

butterfly linger around for a moment, which is 

commonly associated with the death of a loved 

one. Other friends all in seperate places, also 

had a comforting sign that Blaze was still with 

us, and would always be with us. A few days 

later his girlfriend Sterling Long and best friend 

Cassie Farrell held a chalk memorial, "Chalk 

Sterling Long (Blaze's 

Girlfriend) and 

Cassie Farrell (Blaze & 

Sterling's best friend) 

Walk Blazeatron", at the Portland, PA. walking 

bridge for all his friends to "chalk up" the 

bridge and celebrate the life he lived and the 

impact he made on all of us. Everyone one was 

welcome, strangers and friends alike came to decorate the bridge in 

his honor. There was music played by his friends, chalk drawings above 

the bridge, paint underneath it, 

flowers lining the bridge and 

some people even swam under 

to the bridge piers to draw 

more chalk memorials on the 

piers themselves. Some chalk 

memorial tributes stated "Blaze 

it" "Fly high" and personal 

messages demonstrating 

Blaze Buskirk 

Jeremy Smith and Tanner Oliver 

inspiration and the impact his life had made upon everyone he met in 

the best way someone can. It was truly an amazing example of unity, 

love, freedom and celebration of his life. I don't think anyone truly 

knows how much and how many people love them. He knows now. We 

are all truly blessed to have held a place in his heart as he does in ours, 

no matter how heavy that may be now. I think of him everyday and I 

doubt that will change for any of his friends and family. He taught us to 

love freely, and to be kind and 

helpful to anyone and anything 

when you have the chance, and 

to live as wildly and beautifully 

as you can. "I'll take the 

beauty of my chaos over ugly 

perfection." Live and love the 

way that life suits you and live 

it to the fullest and don't forget 

to take the time to do so, life is 

short for all of us.

talents of Craig Martyn on drums, 

Jason Hedrington on Moog/Keys, 

Glen Radomski on bass and Ed 

Golden on Guitar. Roi, who hails 

from South Florida, set out to 

assemble a group of talented, 

experienced, and like-minded 

musicians to create the version of

rock music he was raised with. Armed with all original music, RSP has 

played such renowned clubs as Rockwood Music Hall, Mercury Lounge 

and Arlene’s Grocery in New York City and The World Live Cafe,The 

Northstar Bar, The Tin Angel, and The Legendary Dobbs in Philadelphia. 

RSP's first album, Dog St., includes a variety of tunes from the stunning, 

haunting song, “Firefly,” to the balls-to-the- wall sound of the title track 

“Dog St.” Their newly released 2nd album, Phoenix, blends Roi’s pop 

sensibilities with an alternative rock twist mired in sounds from the likes 

of Nick Lowe to Tom Petty. Roi has been known to say that all he needs 

is a good bottle of bourbon, a good cigar, and a guitar to create the 

kind of true-blue, sexy, and salt-of-the earth music that has captivated 

audiences in up and down the Eastern seaboard. Eclectic, diverse, and 

thoroughly original, RSP is a band that combines a classic alt/rock vibe 

with a lyrical, wholly unique sound.

Arctic Symphony 

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT 

by Brian Potopowitz 

It was the time of endless night, dark, cold, and brutal. But then, it was always 

that way, wasn’t it? Oh, who could remember? There were vague flashes of a 

different sky, a different ground, and the cold replaced by the penetrating feeling 

of warmth. An icy wind blew the flickering memories away and they were 

replaced by the feeling of being too exposed in this open space. No bushes to 

screen, no trees to shield, and very far to go for cover yet the compulsion to 

be in this place at this time was very strong. The wind shifted and a new smell 

drifted down from above which triggered an image but the fight or flight instinct 

was not activated. It felt strange but at the same time it was right. 

The observer sat high above on an outcropping of rock concentrating on 

a small object in a large treeless field a short way down from his vantage 

point. After a time he allowed his gaze to retract for just a moment and 

refocus on the entire landscape about him. The field below surrendered 

at the edges to patches of evergreen trees that dotted the foothills and 

finally gave way to jagged mountain peaks all around. The left quarter 

of the ancient caldera had long crumbled away allowing a spectacular 

view of a large valley and more mountains in the distance. A thick layer 

of snow blanketed the ground and was only broken by the pine trees that 

meandered down to cover the valley below. 

Shifting his attention back to the clearing, he zoomed in and refocused his 

gaze back onto the object he had been watching for some time now. Not 

many would have noticed it there as it was very small and blended in with 

the snow quite well. The moonlight cast a shadow and the outline triggered 

an image but the basic instinct to hunt was not activated. It felt strange but 

at that moment it was right and in a burst of speed he was fluid and moving 

quickly down the hillside toward the treeless area below. 

In no time the observer was at the edge of the clearing still within the 

protection of the shadows of the trees. From his vantage point he could 

clearly see the arctic hare sitting in the middle of that empty space. He 

became aware of his tongue licking his nose and the smell was not right but 

it did not matter as he moved forward. Sensing movement the hare turned 

his head slightly to the left to see the pure white alpha male of this regions 

wolf pack step out of the shadows and move toward him. The hare’s hearing 

was sharp and even at this distance the familiar squeaky crunch of dry snow 

depressing under each foot fall could easily be heard. His sleek body and 

long angular head were becoming crystal clear and his smell overpowering 

with each new step and it was not until the wolf was only inches away did 

he stop. The hare did not move and as he watched, the sides of the larger 

animal pulsed as mist escaped his nostrils between each breath. 

Shadows moved as two more wolves appeared behind the alpha male one 

to each side. The left was a darker shade and his head was tilted down, 

eyes glaring like his brother. The one on the right was darker still and as her 

nose twitched a flash of ivory teeth came into view. As the two remained 

perfectly still the alpha male slowly inched forward until he was directly 

above the hare and their eyes met in this way for a time as they both sniffed 

the air between them. With a huff the alpha male blinked and his eyes 

appeared softer, his brow became unfurrowed, and his ears took on a much 

less threatening angle on his head. Turning his attention to the female, he 

approached and nuzzled her on the neck and the two of them sank into the 

snow next to each other. Twelve more were coming out of the woods now to 

join the rest. Several sat down together obviously mated pairs while three 

wrestled with each other and the last moved, very slowly, to join the pack. 

None of them paid any attention to the hare as he watched them all enter 

the clearing from the pine forest and so he turned back to the direction he 

had originally been facing. He noticed that off to the right near the edge of 

the clearing two arctic foxes had arrived and they sat next to each other 

touching noses. A lynx was rolling in the snow nearby as a herd of caribou 

thundered up from the valley and meandered about for a time pawing at 

the snow until their obvious agitation began to ease. As the animals settled 

down they all turned their attention toward the sky. The night was punctured 

by countless stars of all different sizes shining and sparkling down upon the 

land as the crystallized snow was carried up by the wind to try to join them. 

The Milky Way spattered itself through the center of the multitude like a 

haze high above and as the stars winked and the snow flashed it was hard 

to tell where the earth met the sky. 

They all knew what was coming as the ethereal green glow began to form 

from nothingness. Each creature had been drawn to this place not by what 

they could see but by what they felt from within. Long before the light began 

to form in the sky there was a sound that no human could ever hear. It always 

started very softly as though the wind took on a slightly different pitch and 

progressed to a louder static hissing. Later it would take on, in human terms, 

the sounds of a groaning, creaking wooden sailing ship. Suddenly there was 

a whisper in the wind and the breath of heaven surged as light erupted and 

the aurora borealis was awakened. Long, vaporous tendrils formed above 

the black fire of the night sky. They moved about as many and then merged 

into one, expanded, separated, twisted, formed and deformed by the subtle 

breathing of that which is so far away and yet so close. The colors began to 

morph from green to yellow to red and back again cascading through the 

mist and leaping like static from one ghostly form to the next. Hues changed 

from brilliant to subdued, from bright and crisp slashes to dark and writhing 

sheets barely visible over the speckled black void of space. 

Any human being would have been rendered speechless, hypnotized by 

the view of something so uncommon in nature yet every eye in the clearing 

was closed. With the onset of the show of lights the noise had changed 

becoming louder and less random taking on a much more musical quality. 

As each note played out and merged with the rest the biting subzero 

temperature could no longer be felt as a blanket of warmth fell upon the 

plain and each creature felt a connectedness to all the others that were 

there. If any human could have heard the sounds coming down from the 

sky they would most likely have described it as whale song. Who knew how 

long it lasted for at the time of the endless night it was hard to tell. The stars 

had moved and the moon was in a different place. The music had softened 

as the lights in the sky faded back to that slight green haze. The creaking 

had lowered to a dull static and the wind took on a different pitch. 

As the hare’s senses returned to the snow covered mountain he began 

to hear the crunching of the snow from many distant footfalls. When he 

was content to open his eyes he could tell that the only creature left in the 

clearing was the alpha male. He turned his head to the left and saw that 

the wolf was sitting upright and looking at him. His eyes were kind and the 

corner of his mouth was turned up ever so slightly and as he lowered his 

gaze he rose and walked slowly away only to turn for one last quick glance 

and then he was fluid, off in a cloud of crystal snow and gone into the forest. 

Shortly there after the last of the glow winked out and the all too familiar, 

“Ahhooooo” from the alpha male could be heard calling to his brothers the 

wolves, the caribou, the lynx, the fox, and the arctic hare. The music that 

was heard that night was much more than a series of beautiful sounds. It 

penetrated the fiber of each wild creature and brought them together as one. 

The music broke the barrier of hunter and hunted and allowed them, for a brief 

time, to enjoy the presence of each other. The arctic symphony of the aurora 

borealis was nature’s song of peace and that night it did not fall on deaf ears. 

As the bitter chill returned the hare shook himself to bring warmth back to 

his body. He sat for a time with his paws rubbing the cold from his nose 

as the memories of the night began to fade but while some of them still 

lingered he looked up one last time into the sky, closed his eyes, and smiled.
