Summer is sublime when

elp to take you beyond LaborDay. Their common ingredient?Limes, or some variationthereof.

I routinely toss sliced orangesand limes into lemonade. Andime wedges make great drink,

salad and dessert garnishes.But I have a new respect for thecitrus fruit that is showing up in

ore and more of my favorite

summertime dishes.Before I get to them, put

this on your shopping list:ewmans Own Lite Lime

Vinaigrette. Pal Lena Baileytopped a cilantro-laced springsalad with this at our May bookclub gathering.

But be warned: trying to ndthis dressing at the grocerystore can become a searcheading nowhere. (Thats a not-

so-subtle-hint to supermarketstockers.) I went to three storesand had no luck. Lena hassince told me its a hit-or-misstem. So when you see it, sheecommends picking up more

than one bottle which she didfor both of us at the end of June.

***Now to the recipes.

I made the following blackbean salad for a Fathers Daygathering in Lititz. It was sucha hit I decided to do it again,ess than a week later, for my

book club friends in ManorTownship. Its a great salad, butcan also be used as a dip servedwith tortilla chips.

If youre not a cilantro fansubstitute at-leaf parsley.But dont mess with the onengredient that makes the salad

emorable: fresh lime juice!

A visit to a zoo is a great familyouting. A zoo in the heart of a naturepreserve adds a bit more fun andnterest. Lehigh Valley Zoo is achildrens zoo located on 29-acresn the midst of the 1,100-acreTrexler Nature Preserve. Its location 13 miles from the heart of

downtown Allentown makes it ashort jaunt from our area.Its managed by the non-prot

Lehigh Valley Zoological Societyand is accredited by the Associationof Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

Although the non-prot wasestablished in 2004, the zoo andthe game preserve are part of theareas heritage. It traces its rootsto the 1900s when General HarryC. Trexler, who is credited withcontributing to the growth andquality of life in Allentown and thesurrounding area, began purchasingfarms to create a game preserve toprotect bison, elk, and white-taileddeer. The preserve was transferredto Lehigh County in Trexlers willn 1933. The county continues toanage the nature preserve, while

the zoological society manages thezoo and the bison and elk herd.

The zoo is home to more than275 animals representing 70 speciesfrom African penguins to zebra.Its animal collection includes 16

species classied as endangered,threatened, or species of concernincluding red kangaroo, snowy owl,

plains zebra, West African blackcrowned crane, trumpeter swan andlaughing kookaburra.

Several new exhibits haveopened since 2009 including a

penguin pavilion, bobcat exhibit,Mexican gray wolf exhibit, and thisyears farm in the zoo, which is

located next to the playground.Children really have fun withthe farm, says Shirley Kline,director of development andmarketing. Farm animals aresomething theyve read about, andmany havent had the opportunity toexperience. Theres also a really funcow simulator where they can learnabout and try their hand at milkinga cow,

The zoo also offers Explore& Snore programs, fun-lledovernight excursions or half-nightevening outings, to explore the zooat night and learn about nocturnalanimals as well as engage in somehands-on activities. The kids reallylove that program and our summercamps, Shirley says. Theres also aspecial birthday party package.

The zoo offers a number ofspecial activities including various

animal encounters and paddleboatand wagon rides.National Milk Chocolate Day

will be celebrated July 28, and

samples of chocolate fondue andchocolate milk from a local dairywill be among the offerings. AZoomazing Scavenger Hunt is ontap for Aug. 11. For the adults, thereare several signature events suchas Music at the Zoo, an after-hourssummertime concert series.

Coupling a trip to the zoo witha hike on the nature preserves

trails is a great family trip, saysRick Molchany, Lehigh Valley Zoopresident and CEO. He said thereare 22 miles of hiking trails, 2.5miles of mountain biking trails, and18 miles of horseback riding trailsin the nature preserve as well as ashing area for children that mayalso be used by disabled adults.

Being in the center of thenature preserve creates a specialatmosphere here. The 1 -miledrive through the preserve to reachthe zoo is very pretty, and when youleave the zoo, you may see elk and

bison, Shirley says. She adds thatthe palomino herd that had been onthe preserve for a number of years isnow part of an exhibit in the zoo.

The drive out of the zoo throughthe preserve is also very scenic theres a ford through the JordanCreek to drive through. The area

by the ford is really popular. Kidscan get out and play in the waterthere, and its a great place for a

picnic. We often have families visitthe zoo and bring a picnic lunchto enjoy somewhere in the nature

preserve, she says.The Lehigh Valley Zoo is open

year-round. In-season operatinghours (April 1 to October 31) are 10a.m. to 4 p.m. daily; caf and storehours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily.

Admission is $10.75 for adults ages12 to 64; $9.75 for seniors age 65+;and $8.75 for children ages 2 to 11.

Summer is the time wheneveryone packs up their kidsand takes them on adventures.But the fun can be ruined if

otion sickness is along forthe ride.

Long car rides, amusementparks and boats can meandisaster for a child prone to

otion sickness. But that does

ot mean you are condemnedto a lifetime of vacations atome. Typically, with a few

adjustments, you can geteveryone on the road andfeeling good.

Motion sickness is a feelingof nausea and dizzinessthat can be accompanied bysweating, pallor, belching,ncreased salivation and, rarely

(only 3 percent of the time),vomiting. It is caused when

the visual input from the eyesconicts with the cerebralinput from the vestibularsystem. It is more common infemales, children under age 2are resistant, and the incidencepeaks at age 12. Migrainesufferers are more susceptible.

Like most things in life,prevention is the key. Once

you feel the symptoms, theonly thing that helps is to ndstable ground and stay thereuntil they resolve.

Two natural preventionsthat have some evidence tosupport their efcacy areginger and sea bands. Gingeris a long-relied-upon remedythat prevents motion sickness.It comes in chewable tablets.

It works by decreasing gastricmotility and eliminating

nausea feelings. Sea bandsuse acupressure points on thewrists to eliminate nausea.Ginger tablets are a chokinghazard and should not begiven to small children, butother than that, these remediesare safe.

Antihistamine drugs such asDramamine and Bonine work

by sedating the vestibularsystem so it does not sendconicting input to the brainand thus preventing motionsickness onset. There aremany different brands/types,and you should consult yourhealth care provider beforeusing them to be sure they aresafe for your child. They carrya side effect of drowsiness;

however, the newerformulations have less of this

side effect.Scopolamine patches are

transdermal patches, whichgo behind the ear and providerelief from motion sickness forthree days straight. They arenot approved under the age of12 and require a prescription.They work well, but can causeblurred vision and dry mouth.

Positional adjustments havean effect on motion sickness.It is best to focus on a xedobject, like a land mass froma boat or out the window ofa car. Reading or watchingvideos only contributes tothe overstimulation of thevestibular system and makesit worse. Motion sicknessdoes not occur during self-

generated movements, so ifpossible, allowing the aficted

to control the vehicle willmake it better. However, thisis not a reason to let your10-year-old drive!

Studies in naval pilots showthat motion sickness improveswith repeated exposure;however, that can be a hardthing to convince a child whois feeling terrible. Most will

want to avoid further rollercoaster, sailboat or bumpy carrides in the future. But becausethey usually lead to fun,practicing the above tips cankeep them engaged.

Motion sickness

Some parents cringe at the mereention of dining out with their

children, envisioning 90 minutesof crying, taunting and tantrums.

While some cultures place greatsignicance on dining out as afamily, North Americans seem lessnclined to do so unless it is at afamily-friendly (not food-friendly)chain or fast food establishment.

However, dining out withyoung children doesnt have to bea debacle. Employ a few of thefollowing tips, and your next nighton the town with the youngsters intow might just prove to be a nice

family experience.

Get munchies.A hungry childis often a cranky child. Ask if bread,crackers or chips can be placed onthe table early on so that the kids

have something to snack on anddistract them from hunger pangs.

Request a table near thebathroom.While looking at therestroom doors may not makefor the most inviting ambiance, itdoes reduce the hassle of snakingthrough tables and rows with a childwho needs to use the restroom.

Order for the table. Givingkids a choice may waste time and

lead to arguments. Order a few

items that everyone can share,

increasing the likelihood that your

child will nd something to eat.

Stick with recognizable foods.

Now is not the time to ask juniorto delve into seafood salad or

osso bucco. Save taste-testing for

another time when theres nobody

else around to hear your childs

protestations.

Make dessert a reward not an

expectation. If children behave to

your liking, dessert can be a reward.

It will reinforce good behavior the

next time you decide to dine out.

Dine out without drama

The active lives of childrenoften lead to a few bumps and

bruises along the way. While a fewbandages and antiseptic creams arepar for the course when caring fora child, parents worry about moresignicant injuries, includingeye injuries.

Each year, more than 2.5 millioneye injuries occur, and 50,000people permanently lose part or allof their vision. Nearly half (47.6percent) of all reported eye injuriesoccur in people between the agesof 18 and 45. Children ages 0 to 18experience roughly 25 percent ofthose injuries.

Projectiles and ying debrisaccount for the vast majority ofeye injuries across all age groups.Among children, some of the

ore common injuries occur whenchildren are participating in varioussports, including:

hockey

archery darts BB guns

bicycling sports that involve rackets

baseball boxing basketballToys, ngernails and even

chemicals are responsible forsome eye injuries in children. It isimportant to note that 90 percentof all eye injuries can be preventedby using protective eyewear. Somesports organizations mandate thatchildren use protective eyewear.Even if it isnt mandatory, parentsshould urge children to wearsafety goggles.

CommonEyEInjurIEs

Certain injuries to the eye aremore common than others. Here arejust a few that can occur.

Chemical burns: This is whena child gets any type of chemicalinto the eye. Chemicals may behousehold cleaning objects. These

injuries require immediate medicalattention because they can causepermanent vision loss.

Bruising: Black eyes orecchymosis occurs from some sort

of trauma to the eye. Eyelid lacerations: This is a cut

on the eyelid. An eyelid lacerationmay be paired with bruising or evencorneal abrasion, depending onwhat struck the eye.

. Burns: Sunburn not onlyoccurs to the skin but can affect theeyes, too. It is important to wearUV-protective sunglasses outside.

PrEvEntEyEInjurIEs

Eye injuries are largelypreventable. Wearing eyewearduring sports is essential. Frequentwashing of hands and avoidingtouching the eyes can prevent thetransfer of debris from ngers to theeye. All chemical products shouldbe kept out of reach. If children usecosmetic products, they should notbe applied around the eye.

Knowing the risks to the eye and

how to prevent injury can help wardoff serious injuries.

Kindergarten used to be a

time when kids grabbed a nap inbetween ngerpainting and playing

outside, but todays coursework

s much more rigorous and

kindergarteners are now introduced

to concepts that were once taught

n later years of elementary school.

Preparing children who have never

attended school for their rst day

should take a little time prior to the

start of school.

SigningupforSchool

Each school district has its own

equirements to begin kindergarten.

Parents should familiarize

themselves with their school

district as soon as possible. One of

the primary requirements is age.

Children generally have to meet a

certain age requirement (usually

age 5). Their birthdays have to take

place prior to or by a cut-off date.

Public schools will also require

proof of residence. They often

equire utility bills with the

students address on them. Private

schools typically have more lenient

esidence requirements.

Most entering students will need

to have received all the necessary

vaccinations. Students without allmmunizations will need to do so

before enrolling.

gettingprepared

Some children are anxious tobe big kids and begin school.

Others may be nervous about

whats in store. The best way to

prepare children is to think about

enrolling them in some sort of social

program. Preschool is the avenue

many parents choose, but simply

spending time together with other

kids in a structured social setting

is enough for many kids to getacclimated.

Talking about what to expect

at school can also ease jitters.

Parents can establish a school-

like structure at home to illustrate

their points. Have set times for

meals and snacks, require small

chores be done on time and set

additional rules and limits. Bed

time and wake times should be the

same each day as well. Children

who are unaccustomed to having

structure may nd the rigors of the

classroom scary.

Parents should inquire about

touring the school to help calm kids

nerves. This way children will see

exactly what environment they will

be working in each day.

honingSkillSChildren will partake in a variety

of activities during kindergarten.

Theyll begin learning to write

and perform other activities thatrequire ne motor skills. Parents

can introduce their children to

pencils, crayons, markers, and

safety scissors so they can learn the

proper grip and how to maneuver

these tools.

Its also never too early to read

with children. Studies indicate

that children who frequently readwith their parents or others tend to

have greater success in school. The

National Education Association

says that children who were read to

frequently are more likely to:

count to 20, or higher than

those who were not

write their own names

read or pretend to read

The Educational Testing Services

reports that students who do more

reading at home are better readers

and have higher math scores.

Kindergarten is a childs

initial foray into the world of

academia. Much has changed in

the kindergarten curriculum, and

parents can expect their kids to belearning much more in kindergarten

than the once did.

their young ones. Check your ight status.

Flights are commonly rescheduled,which can be inconvenient for adulttravelers who dont have a coupleof kids tagging along. For parents,though, extra time waiting at theairport with kids can be stressfuland tough to handle. Before leavingthe house, check your ight statusto ensure you wont be spending

extra time sitting and waiting at theairport and looking for things toquell your childs boredom.

When booking the ight, signup for ight updates that are sentdirectly to your mobile phone.These will keep you posted andsave you the hassle of going onlineand checking your ight statusevery few hours.

Check in ahead of time. Manyairlines allow passengers to checkin ahead of time, typically within 24to 36 hours of the ights scheduleddeparture. When kids are comingalong, the less time you spend inline at the airport the better, andchecking in ahead of time can saveyou from waiting in long check-inlines.

Conrm what youre allowedto bring on board. Parents ofvery young children, be it infantsor toddlers, should conrm whattheyre allowed to pack and bringon board in advance of their ight.Sterilized water, for instance, mightbe acceptable to bring on board,but the airline might insist that it

be stored in a baby bottle. Contactthe airline a few days before you

plan to pack to learn the companysguidelines. Different airlines mighthave slightly different guidelines.

Explore the airport.Depending on if you will be ying adomestic or international ight, youmight be spending a considerableamount of time waiting to board oreven dealing with a layover. Thesewaiting periods and layovers areboring for adults and kids alike, souse the airport to your advantageand go exploring. Kids are oftenfascinated by airplanes, so take

them to gates or terminals whereights are about to depart.

Separate kids on the plane.If you have two or more childrenalong, avoid seating them nextto one another on the plane. Thiscan lead to spats that will almostcertainly upset fellow passengers.Let Mom sit with one child andDad with another, and give kids thewindow seat so they can entertain

themselves by looking out thewindow when the plane is in ight.

Bring your ownentertainment. Kids are going toget bored on the ight, so be surethey have plenty to do while in theair. Bring along a tablet with videocapability (and with earbuds) tokeep kids occupied with a movie

or television show. This will helpreduce the restlessness and boredom

theyre likely to feel in the air. Orbuy kids a new book or magazine atthe airport so they have somethingnew to occupy their time until theplane lands.

Traveling with children isseldom easy. But a few tricks of

the trade can make the trip go moresmoothly.

Traveling is easy even with kids

A WAHMs summer stress levely Wendy Komancheck


Its summer and my life is

spinning out of control. Asa Work-At-Home-Mom, mywriting business is usuallypretty slow between Augustand December but I get hitwith deadlines starting in earlyFebruary.

Baseball season is the busiest.I love watching my son playball, but Ive noticed over thepast few years that advancingup in Little League becomes

ore and more demanding forparents from practices, togames, to more practices, totournaments, to hoagie sales, topicture night. In other words,I sell my soul to the sport foreight plus weeks. Sigh.

I always thought my lifewould seamlessly ow fromone activity to another whenI started working at home.

ow, I laugh at the thought.

Ive become the mistress ofultitasking. On some of my

workdays, I run upstairs many

times a day to change loads ofsummer laundry.

Also, I think about myassignments when Im cooking

dinner and worry about eatingmore than hot dogs on gamenights when Im working. I goto sleep thinking about what Ineed to get done the next day towaking up feeling like I haventslept at all.

So now, I fantasize aboutgetting a part-time job outsidethe home. Then, I could goseamlessly from one thingto another without so much

multitasking. But one of mymentors reminded me a fewmonths ago that I would stillneed to come home to laundryandhomeworkandrunning thekids to games andworryingabout dinner. Theres no escape.

Busyness is the lay of the landuntil my kids move out of thehouse when theyre adults, I tellmyself. Until another mentorsays it doesnt slow down

after the birds y the coop. Ididnt want to hear that Implanning on a months vacation

catching up on all my reading,writing, and art work within veminutes after my youngest startsout on his own.

What keeps me going on thebusiest of days is my fantasyof sitting on Bethany Beach,Delaware for a month with astack of books, my beach chair,and sunglasses, reading until myeyes bug out or I burn to a crisp.

But its the constant to-dothis time of the year, that reallywinds me up into a major ballof stress. Maybe its because Iwant to be outside playing in

my garden. Maybe because itsmy busy season and Im in mystride where I want to workuntil my brain turns to mush.

Or maybe its because I getinto a comfortable routinebefore baseball season startsthat I feel totally batty by theintensity of the spring and thenthe summer season.

Whatever the reason, thereality is that this is my life for

this season and somehow Illsurvive it even if I manage toget some more gray hairs in the

rocess.

Most people haveexperienced the shriek of asmoke alarm when cookinga meal or stepping out of asteamy shower, when thereis no hazard present. Theinstant reaction is to nd away to silence the alarm.

Since many of these day-to-day issues are difcultto avoid, the best solution

to virtually eliminate thenuisance and keep youralarm intact is to choosea smart smoke alarm thathas a microprocessorthat changes sensitivityaccording to the nuisancesource; one that is virtuallyimmune to elements such asdust and steam.

Visit your neighborhoodhardward or home

improvement store to seewhats now available.

Families should take thesesteps to ensure re safety intheir homes:

Smoke alarms should beinstalled in every bedroom,outside each separatesleeping area and on every

level of the home, includingthe basement.

Smoke alarms are animportant part of a home reescape plan, but rememberthey are only one step.

Keep your family preparedfor a re emergencyby creating a plan and

pract icing it once a month. ARA Content

FYI: bath saltsAs students head back to school, they will facethe pressure of academics, making new friends, andavoiding the vices of student life, such as drugs oralcohol.

While certain drugs are on parents radars, new,dangerous drugs are continually being created. Onenew and dangerous drug that has recently come tothe forefront is bath salts.

According to the American Association ofPoison Control Centers, calls to poison centers

pertaining to bath salts rose to 6,138 in 2011 from304 in 2010.

The drug is not used in the bath but gets its namefrom its salt-like appearance. It is an inexpensive,synthetic form of speed that is made from mixingdifferent stimulant chemicals.

According to authorities and healthcare workers,the drug makes users aggressive and agitated whilecreating hallucinations that inspire paranoid andviolent behavior.

Recently, a Warwick Township woman, possiblyhigh on bath salts, twice shot a gun directly above

her sleeping 9-year-old daughter. Other similarcases have been documented.

Summer revelers often take tothe skies, rails and waves to embarkon a vacation adventure. With thekids out of school and relaxed hoursat the workplace, individuals andfamilies generally nd that summers the ideal time to plan a getaway.For those who nd they dont havethe funds this year, or simply preferto stay closer to home, there areikely many different local events toenjoy instead.

My son Michael observedecently how a summer day goesuch faster than a school day.That got me thinking about

the shorter life span of otherthings around our house during thesummer. The list includes the pencilpoints, ice cream cones, brownies,boxes of Maggies favorite cereal,and various mice, chipmunks, birds

or other poor rodents that violateour cat Haileys hunting perimeteraround our home.

Hailey brought a rabbit biggerthan herself on the deck andproceeded to gnaw on it as wewatched in horror through thesliding glass doors. But the awfulscene actually turned into a positiven that it prompted a discussion ofour own limited shelf life and thenevitability of death.

The conversation followedMichaels observation after catching

a glowing sunny whod swallowedhis hook while we shed alonga stream at Brubaker Park. Justafter discerning that sh dontblink their eyes, my 8-year-oldpronounced that his rst-evercaught sh at least traded the painfor a full stomach.

I thought that was remarkablereasoning and couldnt help but

wonder if hed made some spiritualconnection about death that heperhaps gleaned from his Catholiceducation.

So after some further discussionabout death and its causes wesomehow wandered to thevenerable question about travelingback in time with the power tostop Adolf Hitler. Maggie rmlyrejected the notion; stating thatmurder is the worst sin man cancommit.

Michael reasoned that Hitler

was a mass murderer and offereddifferent methods for xing theFuhrer. Preferred choices includedbombs and machine guns but hewouldnt rule out poisoning Hitlerafter I told him of many failedassassination plots.

Maggie was appalled that anyonecould even consider violating Godstrust. This of course had Michael

pondering loopholes.Perhaps Mikes the future

George Carlin. Carlin once jokedabout the day in Catholic schoolwhen he asked the priest: Can Godcreate a rock so big that he himselfcant lift it?

Running with Maggies premise,Michael applied the bait just as hehad on his shing hook, statingJesus teaches that were to love ourenemies.

We both concurred that he wascorrect. Then Michael shot back:

Well Satan is our enemy, are wesupposed to love him too?

For whatever reason, mortalityhas emerged as a relevant topic forour family this summer and a recentincident evoked Mitch Albomsquote that the biggest themes oflife are put into the best focus whenheld up against the very sharp lightof mortality.

I got a frantic call from my wifeon Memorial Day morning, theday after we erected our pool in thebackyard. I could only determinefrom her cries that a 1-year-old boyhad drowned.

My blood fell like a waterfallfrom my head to my feet as shedescribed a toddler about to beairlifted in a helicopter parked atthe top of our street. She nallyexplained that the boy lived about250 yards from our home and hadfallen into a homemade pond made

from a sunken bath tub.Everyone in our neighborhood

knew the boy, Roger Martin,was gone despite Terre Hill FireCompanys almost instantaneousresponse. His mother, Ann Martin,later told me Roger was lifeless.

Two days later, the familyposted a hand written sign in frontof the home thanking everyone

for their prayers, stating Roger ismiraculously alive and well. Afamily member the next day toldme that Roger had taken his rststeps on the Wednesday he arrivedhome from the hospital.

His mother said the doctor atHershey Medical Center toldher hes seen hundreds of suchdrowning victims who almost neversurvive without permanent brain,heart, or other damage.

Mrs. Martin said The doctor saidYou are the lucky one.

Holding down the fortAlive and well ...

On occasion after occasion we areserved food in spite of embarrassingevidence that already we are overfed.

Often there is a kind of refreshmentmore needed than food. It is thenourishment of the spirit. Words ofadmiration. I admire the way youdo that work (or the situation youare in). Words of support, I will beremembering you in prayer.

In the family and in the church (thefamily of God) we have a never-endingneed to be recognized, affirmed,appreciated, loved, and told often

that we are. Then, and then only, arewe able sincerely and affectionately toserve up this kind of nourishment toothers.

In the Bible, St. Paul, who couldspeak harshly at times, encouragedChristians with these refreshing wordsof affirmation, We always thank Godfor you and all and always mentionyou in our prayers.

...We remember how you put yourfaith into practice, how your lovemade you work so hard... (I Thess.1:3, TEV).

There are more ways than one toserve up refreshments.
