Back To School: Get a Smart Start to the School Year<br />
(BPT) - <strong>The</strong> start of the new school year is fast approaching. It's a time<br />
when kids will rush back to the classroom, ready to see their friends,<br />
enter a new grade <strong>and</strong> jump back into sports. While the last month of<br />
summer can be eaten up by never ending to-do lists, there are plenty<br />
of ways to make the transition from the carefree days of summer to the<br />
school year a breeze for parents <strong>and</strong> students alike.<br />
<strong>The</strong> key is getting organized <strong>and</strong> easing back into a routine so it doesn't<br />
feel like such an adjustment for the family. <strong>The</strong> following tips help both<br />
students <strong>and</strong> parents ease any last minute jitters <strong>and</strong> instead feel ready<br />
to conquer the year.<br />
• Plan outfits early: Nothing can throw off a morning routine like<br />
hearing, "Mom! I can't find my shoes!" <strong>The</strong> week before school starts,<br />
organize your child's closet with them, ensuring shoes, shirt <strong>and</strong> pants<br />
all live in their designated areas. <strong>The</strong>n, you can easily pick out outfits for<br />
the entire first week, allowing your child to infuse their personal style<br />
<strong>and</strong> guarantee excitement for the ever-important first day of school<br />
outfit. This will help establish the routine of always laying clothes out<br />
ahead of time, so getting dressed is a snap!<br />
• Conquer the routine: You can't spell lunch without PB&J. Never<br />
miss an ingredient with your digital personal assistant. With Microsoft's<br />
Windows 10 you can have Cortana remind you to get bread the next<br />
time you drive past a grocery store. Lisa Gurry, Microsoft's consumer<br />
lifestyle expert, says, "With my kids' school 20 minutes away, I rely on<br />
Cortana to alert me if traffic is causing a longer-than-normal commute.<br />
Cortana is a lifesaver!" With carpool <strong>and</strong> shopping done, your parent of<br />
the year award will be pending!<br />
• Reschedule bedtime: Long summer days mean later bedtimes. Two<br />
weeks before school starts, get your kids back on course by easing into<br />
earlier bedtime, but don't forget to wake them up earlier too! Setting<br />
daily reminders on your phone will keep you <strong>and</strong> your kids on track.<br />
• Upgrade your tech without breaking the bank: <strong>The</strong> only thing that<br />
moves faster than summer is tech innovation. This school year the best<br />
tech money can buy just might be free <strong>and</strong> waiting on your student's<br />
PC. Microsoft has made its latest software available for free with<br />
Windows 10, bringing users a suite of new features, including Cortana.<br />
To upgrade, visit www.Windows.com.<br />
Whether it's your child's first year in the classroom or you're a<br />
carpool veteran, following these tips will ensure you have a smart <strong>and</strong><br />
successful start to the school year.<br />

Ciao Amici,<br />
I thought I would share <strong>The</strong>se Italian<br />
Proverbs that people followed in Roseto<br />

10 Rules for a Good Family Life<br />
Joe DeFranco<br />
1. Fear God <strong>and</strong> respect the saints or else<br />
you will really repent it.<br />
2. <strong>The</strong> father is the father <strong>and</strong> he is experienced. <strong>The</strong> son will never<br />
fail if he imitates him.<br />
3. <strong>The</strong> elders are prudent <strong>and</strong> experienced. Do as they do <strong>and</strong> you<br />
will learn to prosper<br />
4. Always honor <strong>and</strong> obey your parents: then even the stones will<br />
love you.<br />
5. If you don’t listen to your helpful mother, everything will turn into<br />
crap right in your pants.<br />
6. Father is master<br />
7. Experience is power<br />
8. Work hard, work always, <strong>and</strong> you will never know hunger.<br />
9. Work honestly <strong>and</strong> don’t think of the rest.<br />
10. Whoever doesn’t want to work dies like a dog<br />
If only these rules applied in this day <strong>and</strong> age what a different world<br />
we would be living in.<br />

TIP OF THE WEEK: Angelica Tea<br />
For those of you that suffer from Depression try Angelica Tea. It may<br />
enhance your mood, lift depression <strong>and</strong> improve general<br />
malaise. It also relieves nerve-related digestive<br />
problems <strong>and</strong> insomnia due to anxiety. Look for this<br />
tea in the organic section of a health food store.<br />

Activated Charcoal<br />
By Jackie Talero-Rueda, <strong>The</strong> Crunchy Mom<br />
One of the things I will never leave without when going<br />
away on vacation or business (especially out of the<br />
country) is activated charcoal. I have used it to treat food<br />
poisoning, indigestion, <strong>and</strong> prevent <strong>and</strong> treat hangovers. It’s a natural<br />
substances mother nature gave us to help rid of toxins trapped in our<br />
body. Activated charcoal is nothing like the chemical filled charcoal<br />
purchased for the grill. Activated charcoal is a fine, black powder that<br />
is odorless, tasteless, <strong>and</strong> nontoxic. It is often used in high doses in<br />
emergency rooms to treat accidental poisoning. Activated charcoal is<br />
estimated to reduce absorption of poisonous substances up to 60%. It<br />
works by adsorbing chemicals, thus reducing their toxicity, through the<br />
entire length of the stomach <strong>and</strong> GI tract. In other words, the toxins bind<br />
to the charcoal <strong>and</strong> are carried out of the body. Activated charcoal is often<br />
given after the stomach is pumped at hospitals. Stomach pumping is only<br />
effective immediately after swallowing a toxic substance (within about<br />
one-half hour) <strong>and</strong> does not have effects that reach beyond the stomach<br />
as activated charcoal does. Activated charcoal can be used to naturally<br />
whiten teeth. Sprinkle a small amount on your toothbrush <strong>and</strong> brush 2-3<br />
times a week. Do not use if you have veneers or crowns as it could stain<br />
them. To help prevent a hangover take 2 capsules before or after a night<br />
of drinking with a glass of water. More may be taken but start with 2. To<br />
alleviate gas or bloating from a meal take 2 capsules with a glass of water<br />
before <strong>and</strong> drink another glass of water after the meal. If you suspect<br />
food poisoning take up to 5 capsules with plenty of water. It’s very<br />
important to drink water throughout the day to help the activated charcoal<br />
do its job. In case of accidental ingestion of a poisonous substance<br />
call poison control center immediately <strong>and</strong> tell them you have activated<br />
charcoal on h<strong>and</strong>. <strong>The</strong>y will advice how much to use. Activated charcoal is<br />
also excellent for the treatment of spider bites <strong>and</strong> acne. For spider bites<br />
mix with coconut oil, apply on bite <strong>and</strong> b<strong>and</strong>age it. Reapply every couple<br />
hours. For acne mix a little with aloe vera gel <strong>and</strong> apply all over face as<br />
a mask, let dry <strong>and</strong> rinse off. It may also be used as a spot treatment.<br />
<strong>The</strong> activated charcoal binds with environmental toxins <strong>and</strong> dirt that<br />
contribute to acne. Other uses for activated charcoal<br />
include lowering high cholesterol, using as a detox,<br />
mold cleansing, <strong>and</strong> water filtration. Be careful with<br />
furniture, grout, <strong>and</strong> other porous surfaces when<br />
using as it stains everything. Take 3 hours prior or<br />
between taking mediation <strong>and</strong> other supplements as<br />
it will adsorb <strong>and</strong> prevent the body from absorbing<br />
it. Always consult a health care professional before<br />
starting any new supplements.<br />

Ron DePaolo named Umpire of the Year<br />
Ron DePaolo was presented the “Gene Hartzell Memorial Umpire<br />
Award” by the Northampton County American Legion Baseball<br />
Program on Friday <strong>August</strong> 7th at the Meadows in Hellertown.<br />
Ron is a Bangor native <strong>and</strong> began his baseball career at age nine.<br />
He first played little league for the Bangor Elks, <strong>and</strong> then moved on<br />
to play for the Bangor Giants in the Babe Ruth league. Though he<br />
would never step on the field as a player for these leagues again,<br />
DePaolo eventually returned as an umpire several years later.<br />
DePaolo has umpired little league, little league<br />
all-stars, American Legion, <strong>and</strong> has even volunteered<br />
in Cooperstown, New York for one week every year<br />
for 10 years. He proceeded to become a certified PIAA<br />
(Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association)<br />
umpire for high school baseball.<br />
“I was surprised <strong>and</strong> honored that the Northampton<br />
County American Legion Baseball Program chose to<br />
honor me with this award. Baseball <strong>and</strong> especially<br />
umpiring is something that is very near <strong>and</strong> dear to<br />
me.” said DePaolo<br />
Ron <strong>and</strong> his wife Lynnae reside in Roseto.<br />

Chalk Walk Blazeatron:<br />
A Tribute to Blaze Buskirk<br />
Submitted By Gwen Thomas<br />
On July 20th, nine days after his 23<br />
birthday, the world lost one of the best<br />
people one would ever have the pleasure<br />
of knowing, Blaze Buskirk. I was lucky<br />
enough to be one of those people as he<br />
was a close friend. <strong>The</strong> news was heart<br />
breaking <strong>and</strong> every where I went, I was taunted by the reminder that he<br />
was gone. I would never have the chance to see him again. A day later,<br />
we were blessed with a beautiful, red, yellow, orange <strong>and</strong> pink blazing<br />
sky. Above that, a rainbow <strong>and</strong> the purest<br />
white cloud. I was not the only one to see a<br />
butterfly linger around for a moment, which is<br />
commonly associated with the death of a loved<br />
one. Other friends all in seperate places, also<br />
had a comforting sign that Blaze was still with<br />
us, <strong>and</strong> would always be with us. A few days<br />
later his girlfriend Sterling Long <strong>and</strong> best friend<br />
Cassie Farrell held a chalk memorial, "Chalk<br />
Sterling Long (Blaze's<br />
Girlfriend) <strong>and</strong><br />
Cassie Farrell (Blaze &<br />
Sterling's best friend)<br />
Walk Blazeatron", at the Portl<strong>and</strong>, PA. walking<br />
bridge for all his friends to "chalk up" the<br />
bridge <strong>and</strong> celebrate the life he lived <strong>and</strong> the<br />
impact he made on all of us. Everyone one was<br />
welcome, strangers <strong>and</strong> friends alike came to decorate the bridge in<br />
his honor. <strong>The</strong>re was music played by his friends, chalk drawings above<br />
the bridge, paint underneath it,<br />
flowers lining the bridge <strong>and</strong><br />
some people even swam under<br />
to the bridge piers to draw<br />
more chalk memorials on the<br />
piers themselves. Some chalk<br />
memorial tributes stated "Blaze<br />
it" "Fly high" <strong>and</strong> personal<br />
messages demonstrating<br />
Blaze Buskirk<br />
Jeremy Smith <strong>and</strong> Tanner Oliver<br />
inspiration <strong>and</strong> the impact his life had made upon everyone he met in<br />
the best way someone can. It was truly an amazing example of unity,<br />
love, freedom <strong>and</strong> celebration of his life. I don't think anyone truly<br />
knows how much <strong>and</strong> how many people love them. He knows now. We<br />
are all truly blessed to have held a place in his heart as he does in ours,<br />
no matter how heavy that may be now. I think of him everyday <strong>and</strong> I<br />
doubt that will change for any of his friends <strong>and</strong> family. He taught us to<br />
love freely, <strong>and</strong> to be kind <strong>and</strong><br />
helpful to anyone <strong>and</strong> anything<br />
when you have the chance, <strong>and</strong><br />
to live as wildly <strong>and</strong> beautifully<br />
as you can. "I'll take the<br />
beauty of my chaos over ugly<br />
perfection." Live <strong>and</strong> love the<br />
way that life suits you <strong>and</strong> live<br />
it to the fullest <strong>and</strong> don't forget<br />
to take the time to do so, life is<br />
short for all of us.<br />

Roi <strong>and</strong> the Secret People performed<br />
Saturday, <strong>August</strong> 8th at Musikfest<br />
Renowned for their exciting live<br />
shows, Roi <strong>and</strong> the Secret People<br />
(RSP) features the mesmerizing<br />
voice of Mike Roi <strong>and</strong> the musical<br />
talents of Craig Martyn on drums,<br />
Jason Hedrington on Moog/Keys,<br />
Glen Radomski on bass <strong>and</strong> Ed<br />
Golden on Guitar. Roi, who hails<br />
from South Florida, set out to<br />
assemble a group of talented,<br />
experienced, <strong>and</strong> like-minded<br />
musicians to create the version of<br />
Photo by Kevin Terry<br />
rock music he was raised with. Armed with all original music, RSP has<br />
played such renowned clubs as Rockwood Music Hall, Mercury Lounge<br />
<strong>and</strong> Arlene’s Grocery in New York City <strong>and</strong> <strong>The</strong> World Live Cafe,<strong>The</strong><br />
Northstar Bar, <strong>The</strong> Tin Angel, <strong>and</strong> <strong>The</strong> Legendary Dobbs in Philadelphia.<br />
RSP's first album, Dog St., includes a variety of tunes from the stunning,<br />
haunting song, “Firefly,” to the balls-to-the- wall sound of the title track<br />
“Dog St.” <strong>The</strong>ir newly released 2nd album, Phoenix, blends Roi’s pop<br />
sensibilities with an alternative rock twist mired in sounds from the likes<br />
of Nick Lowe to Tom Petty. Roi has been known to say that all he needs<br />
is a good bottle of bourbon, a good cigar, <strong>and</strong> a guitar to create the<br />
kind of true-blue, sexy, <strong>and</strong> salt-of-the earth music that has captivated<br />
audiences in up <strong>and</strong> down the Eastern seaboard. Eclectic, diverse, <strong>and</strong><br />
thoroughly original, RSP is a b<strong>and</strong> that combines a classic alt/rock vibe<br />
with a lyrical, wholly unique sound.<br />

Arctic Symphony<br />
ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT<br />
by Brian Potopowitz<br />
It was the time of endless night, dark, cold, <strong>and</strong> brutal. But then, it was always<br />
that way, wasn’t it? Oh, who could remember? <strong>The</strong>re were vague flashes of a<br />
different sky, a different ground, <strong>and</strong> the cold replaced by the penetrating feeling<br />
of warmth. An icy wind blew the flickering memories away <strong>and</strong> they were<br />
replaced by the feeling of being too exposed in this open space. No bushes to<br />
screen, no trees to shield, <strong>and</strong> very far to go for cover yet the compulsion to<br />
be in this place at this time was very strong. <strong>The</strong> wind shifted <strong>and</strong> a new smell<br />
drifted down from above which triggered an image but the fight or flight instinct<br />
was not activated. It felt strange but at the same time it was right.<br />
<strong>The</strong> observer sat high above on an outcropping of rock concentrating on<br />
a small object in a large treeless field a short way down from his vantage<br />
point. After a time he allowed his gaze to retract for just a moment <strong>and</strong><br />
refocus on the entire l<strong>and</strong>scape about him. <strong>The</strong> field below surrendered<br />
at the edges to patches of evergreen trees that dotted the foothills <strong>and</strong><br />
finally gave way to jagged mountain peaks all around. <strong>The</strong> left quarter<br />
of the ancient caldera had long crumbled away allowing a spectacular<br />
view of a large valley <strong>and</strong> more mountains in the distance. A thick layer<br />
of snow blanketed the ground <strong>and</strong> was only broken by the pine trees that<br />
me<strong>and</strong>ered down to cover the valley below.<br />
Shifting his attention back to the clearing, he zoomed in <strong>and</strong> refocused his<br />
gaze back onto the object he had been watching for some time now. Not<br />
many would have noticed it there as it was very small <strong>and</strong> blended in with<br />
the snow quite well. <strong>The</strong> moonlight cast a shadow <strong>and</strong> the outline triggered<br />
an image but the basic instinct to hunt was not activated. It felt strange but<br />
at that moment it was right <strong>and</strong> in a burst of speed he was fluid <strong>and</strong> moving<br />
quickly down the hillside toward the treeless area below.<br />
In no time the observer was at the edge of the clearing still within the<br />
protection of the shadows of the trees. From his vantage point he could<br />
clearly see the arctic hare sitting in the middle of that empty space. He<br />
became aware of his tongue licking his nose <strong>and</strong> the smell was not right but<br />
it did not matter as he moved forward. Sensing movement the hare turned<br />
his head slightly to the left to see the pure white alpha male of this regions<br />
wolf pack step out of the shadows <strong>and</strong> move toward him. <strong>The</strong> hare’s hearing<br />
was sharp <strong>and</strong> even at this distance the familiar squeaky crunch of dry snow<br />
depressing under each foot fall could easily be heard. His sleek body <strong>and</strong><br />
long angular head were becoming crystal clear <strong>and</strong> his smell overpowering<br />
with each new step <strong>and</strong> it was not until the wolf was only inches away did<br />
he stop. <strong>The</strong> hare did not move <strong>and</strong> as he watched, the sides of the larger<br />
animal pulsed as mist escaped his nostrils between each breath.<br />
Shadows moved as two more wolves appeared behind the alpha male one<br />
to each side. <strong>The</strong> left was a darker shade <strong>and</strong> his head was tilted down,<br />
eyes glaring like his brother. <strong>The</strong> one on the right was darker still <strong>and</strong> as her<br />
nose twitched a flash of ivory teeth came into view. As the two remained<br />
perfectly still the alpha male slowly inched forward until he was directly<br />
above the hare <strong>and</strong> their eyes met in this way for a time as they both sniffed<br />
the air between them. With a huff the alpha male blinked <strong>and</strong> his eyes<br />
appeared softer, his brow became unfurrowed, <strong>and</strong> his ears took on a much<br />
less threatening angle on his head. Turning his attention to the female, he<br />
approached <strong>and</strong> nuzzled her on the neck <strong>and</strong> the two of them sank into the<br />
snow next to each other. Twelve more were coming out of the woods now to<br />
join the rest. Several sat down together obviously mated pairs while three<br />
wrestled with each other <strong>and</strong> the last moved, very slowly, to join the pack.<br />
None of them paid any attention to the hare as he watched them all enter<br />
the clearing from the pine forest <strong>and</strong> so he turned back to the direction he<br />
had originally been facing. He noticed that off to the right near the edge of<br />
the clearing two arctic foxes had arrived <strong>and</strong> they sat next to each other<br />
touching noses. A lynx was rolling in the snow nearby as a herd of caribou<br />
thundered up from the valley <strong>and</strong> me<strong>and</strong>ered about for a time pawing at<br />
the snow until their obvious agitation began to ease. As the animals settled<br />
down they all turned their attention toward the sky. <strong>The</strong> night was punctured<br />
by countless stars of all different sizes shining <strong>and</strong> sparkling down upon the<br />
l<strong>and</strong> as the crystallized snow was carried up by the wind to try to join them.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Milky Way spattered itself through the center of the multitude like a<br />
haze high above <strong>and</strong> as the stars winked <strong>and</strong> the snow flashed it was hard<br />
to tell where the earth met the sky.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y all knew what was coming as the ethereal green glow began to form<br />
from nothingness. Each creature had been drawn to this place not by what<br />
they could see but by what they felt from within. Long before the light began<br />
to form in the sky there was a sound that no human could ever hear. It always<br />
started very softly as though the wind took on a slightly different pitch <strong>and</strong><br />
progressed to a louder static hissing. Later it would take on, in human terms,<br />
the sounds of a groaning, creaking wooden sailing ship. Suddenly there was<br />
a whisper in the wind <strong>and</strong> the breath of heaven surged as light erupted <strong>and</strong><br />
the aurora borealis was awakened. Long, vaporous tendrils formed above<br />
the black fire of the night sky. <strong>The</strong>y moved about as many <strong>and</strong> then merged<br />
into one, exp<strong>and</strong>ed, separated, twisted, formed <strong>and</strong> deformed by the subtle<br />
breathing of that which is so far away <strong>and</strong> yet so close. <strong>The</strong> colors began to<br />
morph from green to yellow to red <strong>and</strong> back again cascading through the<br />
mist <strong>and</strong> leaping like static from one ghostly form to the next. Hues changed<br />
from brilliant to subdued, from bright <strong>and</strong> crisp slashes to dark <strong>and</strong> writhing<br />
sheets barely visible over the speckled black void of space.<br />
Any human being would have been rendered speechless, hypnotized by<br />
the view of something so uncommon in nature yet every eye in the clearing<br />
was closed. With the onset of the show of lights the noise had changed<br />
becoming louder <strong>and</strong> less r<strong>and</strong>om taking on a much more musical quality.<br />
As each note played out <strong>and</strong> merged with the rest the biting subzero<br />
temperature could no longer be felt as a blanket of warmth fell upon the<br />
plain <strong>and</strong> each creature felt a connectedness to all the others that were<br />
there. If any human could have heard the sounds coming down from the<br />
sky they would most likely have described it as whale song. Who knew how<br />
long it lasted for at the time of the endless night it was hard to tell. <strong>The</strong> stars<br />
had moved <strong>and</strong> the moon was in a different place. <strong>The</strong> music had softened<br />
as the lights in the sky faded back to that slight green haze. <strong>The</strong> creaking<br />
had lowered to a dull static <strong>and</strong> the wind took on a different pitch.<br />
As the hare’s senses returned to the snow covered mountain he began<br />
to hear the crunching of the snow from many distant footfalls. When he<br />
was content to open his eyes he could tell that the only creature left in the<br />
clearing was the alpha male. He turned his head to the left <strong>and</strong> saw that<br />
the wolf was sitting upright <strong>and</strong> looking at him. His eyes were kind <strong>and</strong> the<br />
corner of his mouth was turned up ever so slightly <strong>and</strong> as he lowered his<br />
gaze he rose <strong>and</strong> walked slowly away only to turn for one last quick glance<br />
<strong>and</strong> then he was fluid, off in a cloud of crystal snow <strong>and</strong> gone into the forest.<br />
Shortly there after the last of the glow winked out <strong>and</strong> the all too familiar,<br />
“Ahhooooo” from the alpha male could be heard calling to his brothers the<br />
wolves, the caribou, the lynx, the fox, <strong>and</strong> the arctic hare. <strong>The</strong> music that<br />
was heard that night was much more than a series of beautiful sounds. It<br />
penetrated the fiber of each wild creature <strong>and</strong> brought them together as one.<br />
<strong>The</strong> music broke the barrier of hunter <strong>and</strong> hunted <strong>and</strong> allowed them, for a brief<br />
time, to enjoy the presence of each other. <strong>The</strong> arctic symphony of the aurora<br />
borealis was nature’s song of peace <strong>and</strong> that night it did not fall on deaf ears.<br />
As the bitter chill returned the hare shook himself to bring warmth back to<br />
his body. He sat for a time with his paws rubbing the cold from his nose<br />
as the memories of the night began to fade but while some of them still<br />
lingered he looked up one last time into the sky, closed his eyes, <strong>and</strong> smiled.
