faith-based learning in the curriculum.

At PJP II, fifth- through eighthgraders have completed STREAM projects for the expo in collaboration with ProjectEngin, a program that has students using STREAM to tackle real-world issues based on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The goals include zero hunger, quality education, affordable and clean energy, clean water and sanitation and good health and wellbeing, among others.

“It’s about reducing hunger and poverty and (about) the stewardship of the Earth, and all of those concepts are part of the Catholic social justice teachings,” explained Jill Wentzel, PJP II STEM coordinator. “We are really trying to have our students not only think about creating cool scientific and engineering marvels, but we are also encouraging them to think about how they can better the world for people who really need assistance.”

She explained that the students have been working in teams of four to create projects that focus on the Sustainable Development Goals. “We have teams working on nutritional supplement bars for (people in) areas that have a hard time receiving constant nutrition,” Wentzel reported. “We have a team working on a biodegradable shoe that can be produced in the region that they are focusing on to provide employment opportunities and move away from using plastics for cheap footwear. We have a group working on a portable waterwheel that can be used to generate electricity.”

Wentzel noted that each team was required to complete several steps prior to building its invention. “There is a marketing portion, a background and research portion and the engineering design and protype build,” she said.

conservation efforts of partnering organizations. Since 2010, Pennsylvania Master Naturalist volunteers in Pennsylvania have engaged in more than 25,600 hours of conservation service, contributed $587,000 in conservation value and impact to numerous regional partners, reached more than 20,000 people through education and outreach initiatives, and improved more than 9,700 acres of habitat through stewardship service.

Once accepted into the Pennsylvania Master Naturalist program, participants begin by attending an initial intensive training. This natural history training includes 50 hours of classroom (weekday evenings) and field sessions (Saturdays). Following this training,

participants engage in 30 hours of service in the first year and eight hours of continuing education in order to become certified as a Master Naturalist Volunteer. Participants also complete annual service and continuing education hours to maintain their status as Master Naturalist Volunteers.

Spring training for Green Valleys Watershed Association will begin on Wednesday, April 3, and run through Wednesday, June 12. The finalized training schedule along with the application and information about training can be found at www.pamasternaturalist.org under “Become a Master Naturalist.”

It will be like ‘Shark Tank,’ but not as intense,” noted Wentzel. “The students are prepping their ideas as if they could hopefully go to production and really send these things to the region that needs the help.”

She said that all of the team members took part in the various aspects of the project. “There are roles within the groups, but each of the students participated in the research and development and each student was exposed to the building process,” Wentzel noted.

“They were also required to keep an engineering design notebook.”

The projects will be judged prior to the expo on Friday, Jan. 25, and the top three projects will go to the STEM Expo in the Archdiocese of Newark, N.J., in April.

“In our first year (of STREAM education), they have invited us to be a part of their expo,” noted Wentzel.

Local experts will speak on various topics during the events, which will also give guests an opportunity to meet TVGC members and get acquainted with the club’s activities. All of the upcoming programs will begin at 10:30 a.m., and attendees are asked to bring their own lunches.

The first open meeting will be on Wednesday, March 13, at the East Nantmeal Township building, 3383 Conestoga Road, Glenmoore. The program will provide a demonstration on using more eco-friendly alternatives to floral foam blocks to anchor flower arrangements.

“Container Gardening: Dramatic Displays for Year-Round Interest” will be presented by a trained floral designer on Wednesday, June 12, in the Washington Building at Historic Yellow Springs (HYS), located on Art School Road in Chester Springs.

A talk titled “Philadelphia, Cradle of American Gardening” by an official from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS), sponsor of the annual Philadelphia Flower Show, will be offered on Wednesday, Aug. 14, at PHS Meadowbrook Farm, 1633 Washington Lane, Jenkintown.

A demonstration and sampling of herbal tisanes made from the kitchen spice cabinet will be offered on Wednesday, Oct. 9, at the Henrietta Hankin Branch Library, 215 Windgate Drive, Chester Springs. “A tisane is an herbal infusion,” explained TVGC member Rosemary Heth.

“It could be an herb like mint, chamomile, thyme and feverfew, which is good for headaches.

These are common herbs that we all have.”

Advance reservations for the meetings are required by emailing the club at twinvalleys gardenclub@aol.com.

Each year, TVGC financially supports the efforts of area organizations that it feels represent the garden club’s mission of “preserving native beauty and stimulating an interest in gardening and horticulture.” Past and continuing recipients include the Williamson College of the Trades horticulture program, Green Valleys Watershed Association, Open Land Conservancy of Chester County, French and Pickering Creeks Conservation Trust and Roots to Re-entry, a PHS program that provides prison inmates with an opportunity to obtain employment in the horticulture and landscape industries.

The club also takes part in projects that benefit the surrounding area. Among those are volunteering at the annual PHS flower show and making and delivering holiday arrangements to the Coatesville Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center.

“This year, we delivered more than 50 arrangements to the Coatesville VA. It is our favorite outreach program,” said Heth. “(Prior to the delivery of the arrangements) we have a greens workshop (at a member’s home).

We bring berries and greens from our own yards, and we put them in small containers for bedside tables and desks.”

The group also maintains a Pathway Garden at Historic Yellow Springs, Chester Springs. In June of 2018 the club dedicated the newly renovated Pathway Garden to the memory of former club member Mimi Peeples. The garden has been maintained by TVGC at several HYS sites since 1991, and it has now returned to its original location along the path beside the historic Lincoln Building.

The remaining Sisters who were not home on the day the meal was served are in need of funds for the burials.

The five Sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a benefit performance, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighthgrade production of “Grease.”

Steel River Playhouse will present the musical comedy “Nunsense” on select dates from Feb. 1 to 17 at its theater in Pottstown. The play stars (front, from left) Amanda Morrell, Kathryn Tilley, (back) Alicia Huppman, Lisa Hendricks and Genevieve Brogdon.

They present a variety show that features music, dancing and comedy.

Veteran performers of Steel River Playhouse are portraying the nuns. Genevieve Brogdon plays ballet-loving Sister Mary Leo, the novice who wants to become the first nun ballerina; Lisa Hendricks plays the streetwise and tough Sister Robert Anne from Brooklyn; Amanda Morrell plays the confused Sister Mary Amnesia; Kathryn Tilley plays Mother Superior

Mary Regina; and Alicia Huppman plays the mistress of the novices, Sister Mary Hubert.

The production staff includes director Drew Boardman, musical director John Williams, choreographer Michael Roman and stage manager Cathy Sebatino.

The show, to be staged in the Newberry Loft at the theater, runs approximately two and a half hours with one intermission. There will be separate See “Nunsense” pg 4

chicken) soup and neeps and tatties (mashed yellow rutabagas or turnips and potatoes).

Those who attend are invited to get into the spirit of the evening by wearing their family tartans, whether in a kilt, scarf or tie. Dress for the event is semiformal.

Following dinner, there will be additional entertainment, including a musical program by Charlie Zahm entitled “A Tribute to Robert Burns.” There will be toastings, readings of Burns’ work and a sing-along of Burns’ songs, concluding with his popular “Auld Lang Syne.”

This is the second annual Burns Night presented by the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation, but this year marks the first time the event will be held at Beale Manor.

“Most of our events that we do have a Scottish or Celtic theme because of the Covenanters, Scotch-Irish and Scottish who settled in the county,” said Donna McCool, foundation board member. “For anyone that is interested in Scotland or Roberts Burns, this should be a fun event.”

The mission of the foundation is the preservation of the Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Church.

Located at 1188 Valley Road, Quarryville, the church was originally constructed in 1752 and is considered the oldest Covenanter church in America.

The church structure

was rebuilt on the same foundation in 1849. A Presbyterian academy was later added to the building.

At one point, that building became the Bart High School. Today, it is used for a summer church service, concerts and the foundation’s Scottish Festival.

The foundation is independent from the Presbyterian church, and it focuses on the historical nature of the structure.

Most recently, the foundation replaced the north wall of the church, and there are other projects still to come. “The church itself is in pretty good shape, but there’s always something (in need of repair) with a building that old,” McCool said.

Tickets for Burns Night must be purchased by Wednesday, Jan. 30. For more information and a link to purchase tickets, readers may search for “Octorara Covenanter Presbyterian Foundation” on Facebook and choose “Events.” Information is also available by calling McCool at 610-593-6989 or by visiting www.oldcovchurch.com.

SALT Performing Arts will host a Princess Party fundraiser on Saturday, Jan. 26, at its theater in the West Pikeland Township Building, 1645 Art School Road, Chester Springs. There will be seatings at 9 and 11:30 a.m.

During the event, children of all ages will be able to meet their favorite princesses, princes, fairies and other fairy-tale characters. Attendees are encouraged to dress up as princesses and princes for the event.

According to Judy Elliott, SALT marketing director, this is the first time that the event is being held at the theater as a fundraiser. The ticket price includes a meet-and-greet with all the characters, food and beverages, dancing, party favors and face painting, as well as photo and autograph opportunities.

There will also be a chance to win prizes that have been donated by local businesses. “(Guests) will be greeted by the Fairy Godmother, and they will go into the theater and help themselves to food,” Elliott explained. “We will have bagels, (fast-food) chicken, mini doughnuts, cookies, fruit, coffee and juice. Then, one by one, the princesses and princes will be introduced by a master of ceremonies.”

She said that several of the costumed characters appeared as leads in recent SALT shows and will perform their favorite songs.

Among the performers will be Grace Storti, who will portray Belle from “Beauty and the Beast.” Grace played Dragon in “Shrek” and will be Eponine in SALT’s upcoming production of “Les Misérables” in February.

Sara Helmer will appear as Elsa. She played Bombalurina in “Cats” and will be Esmeralda in “Hunchback of Notre Dame,” to be staged at SALT in March.

Jordan McAndrews, who will be Cosette in “Les Misérables,” will play Ariel, and Hannah Elliott, who was Fiona in “Shrek,” will play Rapunzel.

“Dr. Thomas Kalkiewicz (a pediatric specialist) in Exton is a sponsor,” noted Elliott. “His

wife, Judi Kalkiewicz, won an award for her volunteerism at SALT at the New Year’s Eve SALTy Awards. The whole Kalkiewicz family are huge supporters with their time and talent. Both of their children are also participating in the Princess Party. Son Drew will be Prince Charming and daughter Heather will be Cinderella.”

All the actors will perform Disney songs, including musical selections from “Frozen.” “They all have amazing voices,” Elliott said.

She said the event is ideal for parents and grandparents who want to spend time with their and children and grandchildren.

“It is a great way to get out in the middle of winter and do something fun,” Elliott said. “Boys can come to this, too, because there will be at least six princes.”

She said that members of the SALT community have volunteered to plan and host the event. “Moms, teens and tweens are organizing everything, decorating and preparing food. It has been a nice community event,” Elliott commented.

All proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit SALT Performing Arts, a nonprofit organization that provides live community theater productions, summer and yearlong theater camps for children, dinner theater events and more.

“It will be a magical, memorable event,” Elliott noted. “I always tell people to enrich your life and your community by supporting the arts.”

The snow date for the Princess Party fundraiser will be Sunday, Jan. 27, at 9 and 11:30 a.m. Tickets are available at www.salt pa.com/princessparty. For more information, readers may email info@saltpa.com or visit www.salt pa.com or search for “SALT Performing Arts” on Facebook.

age 12 to Guatemala,” Conner said, explaining how his mission objective came about. “It is something I always liked doing and just decided to make it a goal traveling to each country of the world.”

Conner recently spent a week at home in Chester County for Christmas. “I got back on Dec. 22 from Haiti,” Conner explained.

“Three of my sisters came down and met me (in Haiti), and we volunteered at an orphanage and distributed ‘shoes that grow,’ which adjust in size as children grow. It was an amazing trip.”

Next for Conner will be a trip to China and Mongolia. “I will be working with a local missionary family. They have youth programs and sports ministries, and I will serve with them in Mongolia,” he explained. “After that, I will go back to China and give out Gospel booklets.”

Conner graduated in May of 2018 and started his mission work on June 19. “I flew from New York to Iceland to Belgium.

I travel individually, but I meet up with different missionary groups,” he reported. “A lot of time I talk to people on the

trains, and sometimes I meet people on the streets and help out wherever I can.”

He said that finding missionary organizations to work with has been the most challenging part of his journey. “I research and spend hours finding missionary groups and organizations in that part of the country, introduce myself, explain what I would like to do and (volunteer to) serve in any way,” he stated.

“It’s a lot of logistics work.”

Conner noted that his favorite country to visit so far in his life has been China. “I have been there four times. I have three adopted siblings from China,” he said. “It’s close to my heart; I love

the culture.”

He said that a lot of his travels have been financed through donations. “God provides. People donate and bless me with donations without me even asking,” he said. “My parents provided the initial cost of the trip, but I have not publicly looked for donations, so that’s been pretty awesome.”

Following his journey, Conner plans to continue mission work as his career goal. “As of now, I am not exactly sure of what I will do. I might go to a Bible or missionary college,” he stated. “I see me traveling and doing missionary work or settling down in one country.”

Conner encourages the public to visit www.hey planet.earth, where his work and travels are documented.

“One of my (goals) is to make a book with a photo from every country,” he said. “I have also been documenting everything on video.”

He said his goal is to visit all of the countries of the world by

the age of 23. “As of 2018, the United Nations recognizes 193 countries and two observer states, making a total of 195 nations,” he reported. “If I do it in five years, I will be youngest person to visit every country.”

Nighttime Food Tips Offered Calorie-conscious individuals may wonder if eating at night or after a certain time can derail their diets and fitness regimens.

The jury is still out on whether eating at night can pack on the pounds or not, with various health recommendations contradicting one another. However, if one does choose to snack at night, there may be a smart way to do so.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Weight Control Information Network says that a calorie is a calorie no matter when it is consumed, meaning that it does not matter if calories are consumed in the morning, afternoon or evening. It is how many are consumed and the amount of physical activity individuals perform that will affect their weights. Conversely, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics notes that it is not sure if a calorie is a calorie no matter when it is consumed. Its research and data from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine’s Center for Weight and Eating Disorders indicates that when food is consumed late at night, the body is more likely to

F029661

store those calories as fat and gain weight rather than burn it off as energy. Certain animal studies show that food is processed differently depending on the time of day it was consumed.

But what is a person to do when hunger pangs hit at night and one fears that their rumbling stomach may interrupt their sleep? According to the nutrition and fitness experts at MyFitnessPal, stick to a snack that is between 100 and 200 calories.

Choose a food that is high in protein, fiber or healthy fats, which will be more likely to keep a person satiated throughout the night. Apples and peanut butter, string cheese and fruit or wholegrain crackers and Greek yogurt can be healthy, satisfying nighttime snacks. Avoid sugary, calorie-dense foods, which may be hard to digest and can compromise sleep quality.

More studies may be necessary to determine the relationship between body weight and snacking at night. In the meantime, nighttime snackers should choose healthy foods when reaching for a late night bite to eat.

How To Make Healthier Food Choices After the whirlwind of the holiday season, the season of resolutions takes over. Many people resolve to live healthier, but they may not have to give up their favorite foods to do so.

Research from the National Institutes of Health suggests American adults between the ages of 18 and 49 gain an average of one to two pounds every year.

Grazing and overeating tend to increase when the weather cools down. A 2005 study published in the New England Journal of

Medicine found that, in the fall, people tend to consume more calories, total fat and saturated fat. In the spring, people seem to prefer more carbohydrates. In addition, less-powerful sunshine in winter, coupled with people bundling up, translates into less vitamin D being absorbed by the body. Some researchers believe there is a link between vitamin D deficiency and weight gain as well.

To ensure that certain foods do not sabotage healthy eating plans, people can employ some

easy modifications and make healthier versions of the foods they like to eat.

Choose crunchy foods. Those who are prone to snacking can reach for noisy foods. These include crunchy items like apples, carrots and pretzels. Scientists say that when people listen to what they are chewing called the “crunch effect” - they eat less of that item.

T o n e d o w n t h e c r e a m . Delicious dishes like fettuccine Alfredo typically are made with lots of butter and cream. Replace cream sauces with a healthier base made of low-fat milk thickened with flour. Increase the flavor with favorite spices.

Fry with care. Use healthy oils like olive or coconut sparingly.

Many foods that are traditionally fried also can be lightly coated with cooking spray and baked for a crunchy texture.

Choose sodium-free season ings. The USCA recommends limiting sodium to less than

1 teaspoon of salt per day. Try options like fresh herbs or lemon juice to add some sodium-free flavor.

Increase fiber content. Fiber helps one feel fuller longer and

can also be helpful for digestion and heart health. Choose the “brown” varieties of rice, pasta and breads.

Replace red meat with leaner forms of protein. Lean chicken, turkey and pork can replace red meats in many recipes. Some traditional meat dishes, such as

January 23, 2019 - 7

R029481

burgers, also can be modified using vegetables or seafood. Lean meats dry out quickly, so keep foods moist by watching cooking times.

Stock up on yogurt. Greek and other varieties of yogurt can replace sour cream and mayonnaise in many dishes.

Make Volunteering A Family Activity Volunteering is a great way to give back to your community. Volunteers play an integral role in helping charities achieve their goals. Without volunteers, many charities wouldn’t be able to meet their missions, and some might even cease to exist.

Fostering a spirit of volunteerism is

important to many families. Those families looking for a place to get started volunteering together might want to consider the following tips: Find a fun activity. Kids like to mimic their parents, so parents who already volunteer may find their children are excited about following Mom and Dad’s lead.

That excitement level will only increase if parents find an activity their children are interested in. For example, many youngsters love animals, so volunteering with a local animal shelter can be a great opportunity for families to give back together.

Speak with your child’s school.

The Weather Outside Is Frightful … But Go Out Anyway!

The amount of time people spend outdoors has dramatically decreased, as the Environmental Protection Agency now reports

Being outside is linked to betthe average American spends 87 percent of his or her time in a ter moods, more physical activity residence, school building or and less exposure to contaminants (concentrations of some workplace. pollutants are often two to five times higher indoors). Also, people who spend time outside may not come into contact with surface germs or develop various illnesses as often as those who spend a lot of time indoors.

Cold weather can make the desire to be outside less appealing, but it is important for one’s mental and physical well-being to go outdoors anyway. Dress in layers to be able to regulate body temperatures as needed for more vigorous activity. The following activities might coax people outside for some crisp air:

Create snow critters - Why do snowmen and women get all of the fanfare this time of year?

Just about any living or fictional creature can be molded from snow and embellish landscapes.

Use food-grade coloring in spray bottles to add even more creative flair to snow designs.

G o o n a n a t u r e h i k e - While many plants and animals hibernate in winter, there is still plenty to see. Bring along a sketchbook or camera and capture nature in winter. Whitewashed hills can be

beautiful to behold, and many small animals and birds look even more vivid against the white backdrop of snow.

Make an obstacle course Turn an area of the yard or park into a homemade obstacle course. It’s much more difficult and a great workout - to try to jump over snow mounds or run down paths when decked out in warm layers. Engage in lighthearted competitions with friends and family members.

Build a bonfire - Children can

set off in different directions to gather up firewood to craft a bonfire with adults in a safe location. S’mores taste equally delicious whether it’s warm or cold outside, and in winter they can be accompanied by toasty mugs of cocoa.

Get sporty - Sledding, skating, snowshoeing and ice hockey are just a few of the winter sports that can get the heart pumping and muscles working outside.

These activities are entertaining and also great exercise.

Lowering The Risk Of Lung Cancer Lung cancer, the most common cause of cancer death across the globe, is a formidable foe. According to the World Health Organization, lung cancer causes 1.76 million deaths per year.

That’s more than double the number of deaths caused each year by colorectal cancer, which is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the world. The American Cancer Society (ACS) notes that, while not all lung cancer deaths can be prevented, there are things everyone can do to reduce their risk of getting this deadly disease.

Steer clear of tobacco. The ACS says avoiding tobacco is the best way for people to lower their risk of developing lung cancer. Even nonsmokers are at risk if they breathe in other people’s smoke. For smokers, the benefits of

quitting are nearly immediate, as the ACS notes smokers’ heart rates and blood pressure drop just 20 minutes after quitting. In addition, carbon monoxide levels in smokers’ blood drop to normal 12 hours after they quit smoking.

Avoid radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that’s released when the elements uranium, thorium and radium in rocks and soil naturally decay. According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), when radon decays, it gives off tiny radioactive particles. If these particles are inhaled, they can damage the cells that line the lungs. Prolonged exposure to radon can lead to lung cancer.

Homeowners and landlords should have their properties routinely tested for radon. Such tests are the only way

to detect if a home has elevated radon levels. Because factors such as rain, snow and barometric pressure can cause radon levels to vary from day to day or month to month, the NCI recommends routine testing (both shortand long-term tests are available).

Reduce or eliminate exposure to certain chemicals. The American Lung Association says that exposure to certain hazardous chemicals increases a person’s risk of developing lung cancer. Materials such as asbestos, uranium, arsenic, cadmium and other chemicals can be especially dangerous.

Those who are exposed to such chemicals at work should follow safety guidelines at all times and speak with their physician about how to protect themselves.

“Dr. Yannelli is extremely thorough and incredibly kind. I felt so comfortable…”

“Every single person I interacted with at Precision had a great personality.”

“Personal care, that you may have felt was a thing of the past…is not lost.”

Home gyms can make working out more efficient, as people will not have to spend time driving to a fitness facility and they can more easily stick to a workout regimen during inclement weather. Having a gym at home also may motivate people to work out more frequently and more effectively, as they can exercise at any time of day they choose and won’t need to share equipment with fellow fitness enthusiasts.

While workouts will vary from individual to individual, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends adults combine both aerobic and strength training to achieve optimal health.

The CDC recommends adults do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity. In addition, the CDC advises adults to include moderate- or high-intensity muscle-strengthening activities, involving all major muscle groups, in their workout regimens two or more days per week.

When constructing their home gyms, homeowners should keep CDC recommendations in mind so they can enjoy as complete a workout as possible.

The following are some items homeowners can consider when outfitting their home gyms: Barbells: Barbells aren’t just for biceps. Barbells can be used to work all the major muscle groups, including arms, chest, shoulders, legs and back.

Purchase a set of barbells of various weights so workouts can be varied depending on the muscle group being targeted.

Bench, bar and plates: A bench, bar and plates also can be invaluable to people who want a fitness facility-quality workout at home. Purchase plates of various weights, but be cautious with the amount of weight lifted when no partner or spotter is present. When shopping for a bench, look for one that can incline and decline, which increases the range of exercises that can be performed at home.

Landline: If the gym will be in a basement or another area of the home where access to a mobile

network is unreliable, the presence of a landline in the room can help in the case of emergencies.

Those who work out at home will be doing so without gym staff or other fitness enthusiasts nearby, so the landline can be invaluable should someone suffer an injury when exercising alone.

Flooring: Homeowners have various flooring options when outfitting their home gyms. Carpet tiles, rubber flooring, foam flooring and vinyl tiles are popular options. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and the right choice may depend on how the gym will be used. For example, foam flooring may be compressed under heavy equipment, which may be problematic for homeowners who want to include lots of equipment in their home gyms.

Cardiovascular equipment: Treadmills are the most commonly purchased cardio equipment, but ellipticals and other apparatus are also available.

Cardio equipment can be expensive, but savvy homeowners may be able to find fully functional secondhand equipment in the newspaper classifieds or online.

Defining The Terms: Common Phrases Found On Food Labels When shopping for groceries, some consumers may feel as if they need a degree in nutrition sciences to determine just what it is they’re buying. Food labels can be complex and include various terms that may be unknown to consumers. Understanding these terms can help people make sound decisions regarding the foods they eat.

C a g e f r e e : When eggs are labeled “cage free,” it means that the hens that laid the eggs were not raised in caged housing systems, which the Humane Society of the United States has described as inhumane. The organization Food and Water Watch notes that living conditions for hens raised in cage-free environments may still be poor.

Daily value: According to the medical resource WebMD, “daily value” indicates the percentage of a certain nutrient in a food, based on a 2,000-calorie-per-day diet. WebMD notes that 8 percent is generally considered to be good.

Dietary fiber: The Mayo Clinic notes that “dietary fiber” refers to the parts of plant foods that the human body cannot digest or absorb. Fiber is typically classified as soluble, which refers to types of fiber that dissolve in water, and insoluble, which is used to describe types of fiber that promote movement of material through the digestive system. Soluble fiber can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels, while insoluble can

help people who suffer from constipation or irregular stools.

E n r i c h e d : Foods that are labeled as “enriched” have had nutrients added to them to replace those that were lost when the food was processed.

Fortified: “Fortified” describes foods that had nutrients added to them that were not present initially. A common example of a fortified food or beverage is milk, which is fortified with vitamin D to help the body absorb the calcium present in milk.

GMO: GMO stands for “genetically modified organisms,” which are organisms that have had their genetic material artificially manipulated in genetic engineering labs.

Grass fed: “Grass fed” implies that the animals used to produce meat and dairy were fed only grass. Consumer Reports advises consumers to look for seals such as American Grassfed or PCO Certified 100 Percent Grassfed to ensure that manufacturer claims have been verified and that the animals were fed 100 percent grass and raised on pasture.

H o r m o n e f r e e : The federal government of the United States prohibits the use of hormones to raise poultry and hogs, so manufacturers that label their foods as “hormone free” have not gone above and beyond to make their foods healthier.

O r g a n i c : The United States Department of Agriculture has strict criteria in regard to labeling foods as “organic.” To be labeled “organic,” dairy, eggs, meat and poultry can come only from animals that were not given antibiotics or growth hormones.

Fruits and vegetables can be labeled “organic” only if they were produced without conventional pesticides, fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients, bioengineering or ionizing radiation.

Processed: Many consider processed foods to be bad and loaded with additives, but that’s not always the case. The USDA defines “processed” as foods that have undergone a change of character. For example, cut, prewashed spinach qualifies as a processed food.

Sodium: Otherwise known as salt, “sodium” is necessary to maintain nerve and muscle health. However, many people consume too much sodium, oftentimes because of processed foods. WebMD notes that sodium intake should be limited to 2,300 milligrams or less per day.

Certain people, such as those over the age of 51, African-Americans and those with certain conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes, should consume no more than 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day.

Discovering The Benefits Of A Personal Trainer Each year on Jan. 1, many people resolve to lose weight and get healthy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost 70 percent of Americans over the age of 20 are overweight, including 35 percent who are considered obese.

After the holiday season, when social schedules ramp up and diets might be ignored, it’s no surprise that many people are ready to start new fitness regimens. While some may push themselves into the toughest and most intense workouts in order to super-charge weight loss or fitness gains, this could be a mistake that raises the average person’s risk of injury. Instead, people should consider working with a personal trainer who can guide their workouts.

Personal trainers are fitness professionals who are trained to teach others how to exercise.

These people are educated in correct posture and technique so that they can instruct how to do exercises correctly and efficiently. Furthermore, personal trainers can help people reach their fitness goals with an understanding of how to exercise safely with various chronic conditions or injuries.

There are many other reasons to work with a personal trainer: Provide motivation: Personal trainers can offer encouragement

to get a person started and to continue with a workout routine.

Furthermore, knowing someone is there to hold them accountable can ensure clients are consistent in showing up to do the work necessary.

Define fitness goals: Personal trainers can help people focus on goals that are specific and realistic to achieve measurable success.

Showcase proper form: Understanding how to do exercises properly reduces the risk of injury and increases the efficacy of workouts.

O f f e r v a r i e t y : Sometimes workouts can become boring, and people become complacent. Personal trainers may alter routines to keep clients interested.

Make time work: Experienced personal trainers will know how to maximize the time clients have. This can be advantageous for people who have limited time to exercise.

Senior Center from pg 1

The Downingtown Area Senior Center is now located in the worship center at Thorndale United Methodist Church.

TUMC pastor, who agreed to the partnership.

Kennedy noted that this is not the first time that the senior center was housed at the Thorndale church. She explained that DASC was temporarily located at TUMC for several months in 2014 when the Downingtown facility was closed because of environmental issues.

“They were here for five or six months and when all the work was done, they went back,” said Kennedy, who was named the DASC executive director in June of 2017. “Since we were here before, we asked if we come here again because (the facility) is so nice.”

Kennedy emphasized that the center will continue to offer the same services and classes that were previously held at the former location. Ongoing programs include Zumba, tai chi, yoga, knitting and sewing, a bridge club, a book club and more.

“Everything is the same. Every service we have always provided is (still available),” said Kennedy.

Upcoming special events at DASC include a performance by the Grateful Alive Band on Wednesday, Jan. 23, at 12:30 p.m. “They are a group of seniors who have been musicians all their lives,” said Kathleen Moulter, DASC member services coordinator. “They are wonderful.”

Moulter noted that each month features a birthday party at the senior center for all the members who are celebrating that month.

“We have really good entertainers,” she said, noting that Jeffrey Krick Jr., an Elvis impersonator, will be featured during the celebration on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 12:30 p.m. “ We have blood pressure screenings once a month, games every day and bingo,” Moulter said. “ We will start to take

appointments in February for tax assistance.”

Additionally, a Valentine’s tea party will be held on Monday, Feb. 11, beginning at 10:30 a.m.

DASC is also offering an AARP safe driving course for people age 55 and over on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 27 and 28, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lunch will be included; registration is required.

DASC membership is open to seniors age 60 and over who live in the communities of Downingtown, Elverson and Honey Brook, as well as the townships of Caln, East Bradford, East Brandywine, East Caln, East Fallowfield, East Nantmeal, Upper Uwchlan, Uwchlan, Wallace, West Bradford, West Whiteland and West Nantmeal.

Membership is not required to take part in the lunch program.

However, reservations are required.

In addition to settling into the new facility, Kennedy has been speaking to local groups with members who have parents who are senior citizens. “I want people to know that there is a place where their parents can spend time and they don’t have to worry about them,” she stated. “I try to spread the word. We are really helping families, not just older individuals.”

Kennedy said she is very pleased with the transition to the new facility and hopes that more local seniors will stop by the center and consider becoming members. “The (worship center) is beautiful,” she said. “(The atmosphere) is super friendly. I am very happy that we are here.”

Those who visit the center are asked to use the rear entrance of the church. An elevator is available. For more information, readers may call the center at 610-269-3939 or visit www.downingtownseniors.org.

Balance and flexibility classes led by Sue Gardner (far left) are offered every Monday at 10 a.m. at the Downingtown Area Senior Center.

Vehicle Safety Advice Given PJP II After home and work, the next most common place people spend their time is in their vehicles. The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says the average American spends 17,600 minutes driving each year. Because they spend so much time behind the wheel, drivers need to be prepared for breakdowns. Packing an emergency kit in the car can help people make the best of such situations.

A car emergency kit can help drivers get back on the road promptly. Without such kits, drivers may be stranded for hours after a breakdown. Emergency kits also come in handy during weather-related events that can sideline cars until roads become passable. Getting caught in a vehicle during a snowstorm and failing to have the proper gear can be a life-threatening scenario under extreme conditions.

The Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Homeland Security note that these key items should always be

included in a car emergency kit: durable bags or crates to store supplies, a complete first aid kit, a small fire extinguisher, jumper cables, rain ponchos, a plastic tarp, flashlights and extra batteries, bottled water, a small cache of nonperishable foods, a wrench and pliers, local maps, rags, duct tape, a multipurpose tool, an ice scraper, automotive fluids, blankets and warm clothing, cat litter for slick roads, tire-changing equipment, a spare tire, road flares or caution reflectors, an empty gas canister, cash for gas and a phone charger cable.

Being prepared can make a difference when vehicles are sidelined. In addition to an emergency kit, cars and trucks should be regularly maintained to prevent breakdowns. This includes ensuring all fluids are at proper levels, filters are changed, batteries are in good working order and tires are inflated correctly. Investing in a roadside assistance service also can help get drivers back on the road quickly.

Awareness Month Set January has been declared National Glaucoma Awareness Month by Prevent Blindness, a volunteer eye health and safety nonprofit organization, along with other leading eye health groups, in an effort to educate the public on the disease, including risk factors and treatment options. Prevent Blindness

Volunteering from pg 7 Teachers and school administrators can be great resources, sharing information about local volunteering opportunities or making age-appropriate suggestions.

Parents shouldn’t hesitate to ask for recommendations from teachers, who may be in the best position to suggest opportunities that children can handle and enjoy.

Start slow. When starting out, families may be best served by choosing activities that do not require lengthy time commitments. Children may not be ready to volunteer for hours on end, so start with something simple. As youngsters acclimate to volunteering and their attention spans grow, parents can commit to volunteering more of their family time.

Think outside the box. Parents of toddlers or grade school-age children may be surprised to learn that some volunteering opportunities have minimum age requirements. If such requirements are making it difficult to volunteer together as a family, parents and children can work together to come up with their own opportunities. Youngsters can organize a book drive to supply books to schools with depleted libraries, or they can plan a fundraiser. The opportunities to volunteer are endless, and families should not be discouraged by age restrictions.

which serves infants and toddlers from 3 to 36 months of age.

“It’s an open house for both current and prospective families,” said Maria Samson, PJP advancement director. “Prospective families will have an opportunity to get a personal tour with a student or parent ambassador. We will also have information for prospective families on how to apply for the next school year.”

In addition, a Scholastic Book Fair will take place in the library during the open house. The book sale will be open to the community.

Those who visit the open house will have an opportunity to view students’ projects in the STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Arts and Math) Expo.

The exhibits will be on display in the school’s gymnasium. “There will also be art displayed from our lower grades, kindergarten through fourth,” said Samson, noting that the artwork will feature a science component.

Complimentary baked goods will be available in the school’s multipurpose room throughout the event.

Also featured during CSW will be special student activities, including Movie Star Monday on Monday, Jan. 28, where students will be invited to dress up as their favorite celebrity or movie character.

On Tuesday, Jan. 29, there will be a Human Board Game assembly for fourth- through eighth-graders and a Puppets Pizzazz assembly for the younger students.

Faculty and Staff Appreciation Day, which will include a free breakfast provided by the PJP II

Home and School Association, will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 30.

There will also be a flag football game in the school gym that day.

Crazy Hair and Hat Day will be held on Thursday, Jan. 31, which will be Student Appreciation Day. Additionally, PJP II families will be able to enjoy an event at a local trampoline park that evening.

The week will conclude with a closing Mass at 9:30 a.m. on Feb. 1 at St. Peter Church, located next to the school. There will also be a new activity, Step-Up Day. “Students will have an opportunity to get a first-hand look at what they will be doing in the next school year,” Samson explained. “It will get them excited about some of the highlights of their next academic grade.”

PJP II principal Sarah Kerins said the week is designed to showcase all that Catholic schools have to offer. She listed some of the school’s strengths, as noted by comments from visitors: “a strong foundation of academics, the way students treat each other and the way the faculty interacts with them, our Gospel values, the focus in the classroom and the self-discipline that the students learn.”

PJP II serves the parishes of St. Peter in West Brandywine, Our Lady of the Rosary and St. Joseph in Coatesville and Our Lady of Consolation in Parkesburg. For more information on the school or any Catholic Schools Week activities, readers may contact Samson at 610-384-5961, ext. 5408, or msamson@popejohnpaul2sch.org.

When hunger strikes, various appetitecontrol strategies can help people avoid overeating or eating during those times when boredom is more to blame than an empty belly.

-Eat slowly. When a person eats, a series of signals is sent to the brain from digestive hormones secreted by the gastrointestinal tract. These signals produce a feeling of pleasure and satiety in the brain, but it can take a while for the brain to receive them. By chewing slowly, people can give the signals more time to reach their brains, potentially preventing them from overeating.

-Choose the right snacks. The right snacks can make it easier to eat more slowly. Instead of reaching for potato chips or pretzels, both of which can be eaten quickly and picked up by the handful, choose snacks that are both healthy and require a little work. Carrots dipped in hummus or baked tortilla chips with low-fat salsa or bean dip are low-calorie snacks that also require some work between bites. The time it takes people to dip between bites affords more time for the digestive tract to release signals to the brain that they are full.

-Reach for fiber first. Another way to conquer hunger without overeating is to reach for fiber before eating other parts of a meal. Vegetables are rich in fiber, but since they are often

served as side dishes, many people tend to eat them only after they have eaten their main courses. That can contribute to overeating. Fiber fills people up, so by eating the high-fiber portions of a meal first, people may be less likely to overeat before their brain receives the signals that their stomach is full. Individuals should consider eating vegetables as an appetizer or, if the entire meal is served at once, clear their plate of vegetables before diving into the main course or other side dishes.

-Drink water. Perhaps the best - and least expensive - way for people to control their appetite and ensure that they do not overeat is to drink more water. A 2010 study funded by the Institute for Public Health and Water Research that included 48 adults between the ages of 55 and 75 found that people who drank two 8-ounce glasses of water right before a meal consumed 75 to 90 fewer calories during the ensuing meal than study participants who did not consume water prior to their meals. Over the course of 12 weeks, participants who drank water before meals three times per day lost roughly five pounds more than those who did not increase their water intake.

Controlling appetite does not have to be a complex undertaking. In fact, some simple strategies can help people avoid overeating.
