From The Editor’s Desk.
Joe Korba
It’s hard to believe that it’s March already! Working on a deadline really makes time fly by. With Major League Baseball Spring training starting and, if Puxatawny Phil was right, the weather hopefully getting warmer now that meteorological winter is ending I can’t help but look forward to walks down the Weissport Canal trail, fishing, Red Sox baseball and warm summer nights spent under the stars at Becky’s Drive In. Yea, I’m ready for summer and all that comes with it. This is around the time of year all of our home improvement specialists and lawn care folks start promoting their services again. So, if you need any work done around your house, or think your front lawn could use some first aid; make sure to check out our Home Improvement section. This is also our ‘Women’s Edition.’ So, I’m going to keep my ruminating short and sweet and turn it over to the Gazette’s associate publisher, Alice Wanamaker…
From The Publisher’s Desk.
Alice Wanamaker
I’ll admit my desks are a mess most days. Yes, I said desks – as in plural. I outgrew having one desk about a year ago as the Gazette began growing exponentially. It’s filled with papers that need to be read and responded to and mail that needs opening. But it doesn’t end there. My iPhone calendar looks like a rainbow with appointments for this or that; trips to the gym, volunteer board activities, birthday reminders, planning meetings
FEATURING: 7 - Social page 10 - Exclusive w/ Andrea Tantaros 17- Pet Page 20-21 - Community Calendar 44-46 - Classifieds Special Women Section Starts on Page 54
and even a few appointments to make Easter candy this month. The number of ‘to-dos’ on my schedule is exhausting. This exhaustion is usually met with the realization that my schedule is nothing compared to most other women I know. How some gals manage a full time job, two kids, and a dog or two is beyond me. Some even pile on PTA, community outreach, and Pilates three times a week on top of it. The fact that they can find any time to get grocery shopping done, not to speak of finding a few hours to sleep, is amazing. This issue is dedicated to you – the busy women of the Blue Mountain area! Hats off to you for managing your lives and families with grace and poise. Note: March is National Women’s History month. This past year we lost one of my heroes: Ms. Sally Ride. Ride was a pioneer as the first American woman in space. She was a crewmember on the Space Shuttle Challenger, launching her first mission on June 18th, 1983. Over her career Ride spent more than 343 hours outside the confines of earth’s atmosphere.

Tips For Moms Going Back To The Workforce (NAPS)—Many Americans who have been out of the workforce for several years are looking for ways to head back to work to supplement the family income. That’s a key finding of a recent Bellevue University study. Another finding is that in many cases, women are leading this charge—one in 10 women report returning to the workforce to help make ends meet. These findings are in line with data from the U.S. Census Bureau that shows the number of stay-at-home mothers fell from 5.3 million to 5 million. If you are considering returning to the workplace, after two years away or 10, here are some tips to help you keep up with some of the changes that may have taken place in your absence: • Make sure your skills and education are up to par. “Positions that may have not previously required a degree may now require more education. If you already possess the required education, you may want to talk to others in your field to find out what skills you may need to enhance,” said Dr. Mary Hawkins, president, Bellevue University. For example, if you work with technology, you may need to learn new programs or software. Financial and human resources professionals may need to catch up on changes in federal regulations. It’s crucial to stay up to date on the changes in your field. •Do your research. To make it easier on yourself, do your research on what kinds of positions you would qualify for and what kind of salary you might expect. Visit sites like glassdoor.com and salary.com to determine what kind of pay you should receive for your level of expertise and experience. You can also visit ebri.org to determine what kind of benefits you should expect to be offered. • Prepare yourself. Research possible interview questions. Many sites offer mock interview questions to help you practice. It can also be helpful to visit advice sites, such as makeithap pennow.org, that are designed to bring you up to speed on the types of skills employers seek in today’s market. If you are a stay-at-home mom who will be returning to the workforce, be sure you are prepared. In a tough economy, it’s best to do everything possible to stand out from the crowd.

Five Questions with Fox News’ Andrea Tantaros By: Tyler Trumbauer
Editors Note: Our staff writer Tyler Trumbaer had a chance to sit down with Fox News’ Andrea Tantaros and had a chance to ask her a few questions about growing up in the Lehigh Valley and her career. Andrea Tantaros is a native of Allentown, Pennsylvania and a graduate of Parkland High School and Lehigh University. She is also the host of the nationally syndicated radio show, The Andrea Tantaros Show, and cohost of the hit show, The Five, weekdays at 5pm ET on Fox News Channel. She’s also a political columnist for the country’s fifth largest paper, The NY Daily News, and FoxNews.com. Tyler Trumbauer: How did growing up in the Lehigh Valley shape your political perspective? Andrea Tantaros Andrea Tantaros: The Lehigh Valley is a wonderful place to grow up. The schools are good and the people are nice. I had the benefit of growing up in a very loyal and supportive family. We ran a number of family businesses so I was lucky enough to get to know the community in a unique way, and when you spend your childhood growing up in your parents’ restaurants you get to know the customers and the staff on a personal level. You also get to understand people and real life better than most. It keeps you grounded. I’m very blessed and I never forget it. TT: Was getting in to the media industry, specifically politically-focused media, always your career goal? AT: I always loved the idea of television but wasn’t bitten by the political bug until college. When I found an internship that merged politics and media, first working on a presidential campaign in the press office, then at CNN on their former show Crossfire, I knew I was in the right place to begin building a career. TT: What advice do you have for younger generations that are trying to enter the journalism field? AT: There are a lot more jobs out there than just your standard reporter job. Media is changing by • We are the day and is becoming more digital. You should always accepting explore all options to see which one you like best. donations of gently Internships are everything. Try to land a good one, used items! even if they are unpaid. Get a second job to pay A Portion of All Sales the bills (I did). Use the contacts you make at these Donated to Christ internships to help you land your next one, and Stop in and check us out! Church of Bath eventually a job in the field.

AT: I’m a very driven person. Like my father who grew up poor and immigrated to this country from Greece, I like working and set big goals for myself. Despite facing a language barrier and limited resources, my father achieved great success in this country. Because I didn’t have those challenges he told me I had no excuse but to be successful. He was tough, but he was right. I never wanted to squander all of the sacrifices he made for his family so that we could have a better life filled with opportunities. To this day his example is both inspirational and very demanding. I’m lucky to be his daughter. TT: In your opinion, what is the biggest issue that this country needs to focus on right now? AT: It’s a tie. First, the debt. We’re approaching 17 trillion. Economic security means national security. When a country is bankrupt—and we’re well on our way—things crumble quickly. Government needs to stop spending and get our finances in order before it’s too late. And secondly, I’d say the family. We’ve seen a moral decay over the years in our nation. Families are the backbone of the culture, and right now many families in America are broken. These troubled homes are the root cause of almost every issue from gun violence to education and it’s rare you find someone with the courage to address it.

Northern Lehigh High School to perform “Little Shop of Horrors”
The Northern Lehigh Little Theatre Company
The Northern Lehigh Little Theatre Co. is preparing for another exciting musical theatre season. This year they will be performing the cult classic “Little Shop of Horrors.” Seymour, an orphan and a nerd, is taken in and given a job by Mr. Mushnik, the owner of a rundown flower shop in the seedy part of town. Seymour spends his time doing menial tasks and dreaming of the shop assistant, Audrey. One day, Seymour discovers a strange plant. He buys it and names it Audrey II. While caring for Audrey II, Seymour discovers the plant's rather unique appetite. The plant grows and grows, as does Seymour's infatuation for Audrey, but who will get her first? FEED ME! The show includes classic songs, entertaining production numbers, a unique set design and of course the large talking plant created by the production crew. This show is sure to continue the proud tradition of musical theatre at Northern Lehigh. Show dates are March 15th at 7pm, March 16th at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., and March 17th at 2 p.m. General Admission Tickets are $10.00 and Students or Senior Citizens Tickets are $8.00. Tickets can be purchased by calling Sherri at 484357-2282 or by e-mail at smolitoris@nlsd.org.

Help Your Child Learn To Love Reading
(NAPSI)—When children realize that reading is an adventure, a whole universe of possibilities blossoms for them. These ideas may help you inspire your children to develop a lifelong friendship with books. • Read the news. Children need to know there’s more to the news than a 30-second sound bite. Newspapers, magazines and online articles can give kids in-depth details to satisfy their curiosity. Read an article together and help your children with difficult words or abstract concepts. • Read aloud with your children. In young children, it nurtures an interest in language, words and communication. For older kids, reading together can be a fun way to develop reading skills and create a basis for discussions. • Collect books and digital news. Encourage your children to create their own treasure trove of books and online resources. Look for books at yard sales, in the book section at bargain stores, at the grocery store—wherever you can find them. Create a list of websites and online resources that spark your child’s imagination. • Turn vocabulary from a grind to a giggle by creating word games. Compile a word list or ask Continued on Page 47

Donncha and MacArthur are preparing to be blasted into space and have just left the mission briefing when one turns to the other and says, 'Mac, where are we goin?' MacArthur replies, 'Well Donncha, the man in charge said we are on a mission to the sun.' 'OK,' says Donncha, he thinks for a while and then asks, 'Won't it be a bit hot, it being the sun and all?' 'Don't be stupid, Donncha,' says MacArthur, 'the man said we'd be going at night.' An Irishman, by the name of O'Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick's Day.

The Hourglass Is Half Full: Women’s Views On Aging (NAPSA)—When a recent survey asked women how they felt about aging, a significant number said that the best was yet to come. I n t h e n e w Wo m e n Ta l k ™ annual survey by the National Women’s Health Resource Center (NWHRC), more than one-third (37 percent) of women reported being positive about life as they age. The finding is especially true for older women (41 to 46 percent among those aged 50 and older). When asked which aspects of their life would get better or worse, only 22 percent thought their sex life would decline and only 26 percent thought their physical health would worsen. Seventy-five percent were sure their mental health would remain the same and 72 percent thought their social life would be the same. African-American and Hispanic women were more optimistic than Caucasian women. They are more likely to believe that nearly all areas of their lives will get better. Fewer than half (45 percent) think it’s extremely or very likely that as they grow older they will maintain their ability to take care of themselves and go about their daily activities. When asked what they looked forward to, younger women looked forward to time with their spouse or watching their children grow up. Older women looked forward to learning something new. Travel was a priority among 54 percent of the respondents aged 40 to 49 and 50 percent of those aged 60 and older. In terms of fears, older women are most concerned about losing their independence or becoming a
A good number of women are optimistic about growing older, but this is tempered by fears about losing one’s independence and memory. burden. Middle-aged women are worried about finances and younger women are afraid of being alone. “Women’s greatest fear about growing older is losing their independence and memory,” said Elizabeth Battaglino Cahill, RN and NWHRC executive vice president. “There are daily lifestyle choices that women can make at any age to help ensure their older years will be active and healthy.” As part of their One Small Step To A Healthier You campaign, the NWHRC has created an online wellness center at healthywomen.org.

Back Pain? We see new patients immediately!
Request an appointment online at www.lvspinalcare.com Families Need Backyard Sports By: Tyler Trumbauer
Daylight savings time is right around the corner. Everyone on your street will be ‘springing’ their clocks forward one hour.That change in time brings more daylight later in the evening. Accompanying that extended sunlight is that warmer weather that Punxsutawney Phil predicted one month ago when he was yanked out of his burrowing hole for that annual ceremony. Families will ponder what to do with this extra time for fun. One of the best things to do that can get everyone involved is to partake in some friendly backyard sports. A lovely evening out in the backyard spent together tossing the baseball or kicking around the soccer ball while the sun sets in the background creates not only picturesque scenes, but memories that the kids and their parents will remember and cherish for a long time. There is a plethora of activities that a family can choose to do. Tossing a Frisbee, playing catch or my family’s favorite, playing a game of whiffle ball, will do the trick. My father, my younger brother and myself play whiffle ball with a passion. We use real bases, a pitcher’s mound and a netted backstop with a strike zone outlined in ribbon to ensure the accurate judging of balls and strikes.
A short four-inning, two-out per half frame game is something any family member can enjoy. The three males of the Trumbauer household have spent many of bright, sunny Saturday afternoons completing a triple-header of whiffle ball contests. Many articles of clothing have been discolored, torn or all-together destroyed during the playing of one of these duels. My childhood is full of memories that stem from whiffle ball games in the backyard with my family. We are a family of sports fanatics and we love participating in the recreational play of all of them every chance we can get. As each day goes by, more and more light is available courtesy of the biggest star in the sky. Take advantage of every second of that to play a game of touch football, kickball or the fairly-new lasso golf (I highly recommend it). Don’t squander these upcoming days filled with bright sunshine, chirping birds and freshly-cut emerald-colored lawns by sitting inside. Go outside fire-up the grill, enjoy a cool, tall glass of lemonade and start a friendly game of badminton with your children. You never know, a memory could be there just waiting for you to make it.

Extra Point by Tyler Trumbauer
Oertner Leads Indians to Record Season
In 2011 Rich Oertner needed a fresh start. He was coming off a winter away from coaching basketball after leaving Northern Lehigh in 2010. In 2011, Lehighton’s boys’ basketball program
needed a reboot as well. It was coming off a span of four losing seasons in which they accumulated only five wins. When the two came together that summer, it was the perfect match. Oertner’s inaugural season in Lehighton wasn’t a very successful one as the team finished with a 3-19 season. However, those three wins and this new coaching staff showed the community that a huge change was in the works. As soon as the off-season workouts began, Oertner and his assistants noticed an increase in the volunteer participants and saw an increase in boys trying out for the team overall. Also, the

Indians achieved some success in the summer leagues as well. All of that translated in to one of the best turnarounds in Lehigh Valley varsity sports’ history. This winter the 2012-13 Lehighton Indians boys’ basketball team made a name for themselves. The squad earned an 11-11 record during the regular season. As they were notching the wins they were surprising themselves and everyone else in the Lehigh Valley basketball world. This fantastic team even finished their regular season schedule in dramatic fashion. The Indians were 10-11 and needed one win to qualify for the District 11 AAA tournament. Their opponent was Notre Dame East Stroudsburg and this underdog group pulled out the victory by a score of 70-50 to clinch that district berth. Going from a three-win team in 2011 to district qualifiers is very surprising, even to Oertner, who says he is repeating his process. “I’m doing the same thing I did at Northern Lehigh. I’m running practice the same way.” Oertner said.“It’s all about getting the players to believe in the coaching staff. And the coaching staff believes in the players. It is just a matter of getting them mentally in to a game.” The Indians’ earned the last seed in the bracket and played Southern Lehigh. Oertner had the tall task of getting his squad mentally prepared for this game and he was successful at it as they beat the Spartans by a final score of 50-46 to earn the program’s first district win since beating Northwestern in the 2007 3A quarterfinals. Reflecting on the past season as a whole, Oertner was very pleased with earning 12 wins overall. He admitted to me in a phone interview last week, “It was very much an up and down season. We lost four or five close ones and we won a few close ones. [The season] could have been a dud if we didn’t win the last few games of the season. The players really got focused. Looking back we feel great.”
Page 43
The Lehighton coaching staff really loves these players and the players reciprocate that affection. The district victory was great experience for junior James Farano who is also the team captain and sophomores Jordan Knappenberger and Tyler Crum. Oertner is looking for those three and others to lead the way in the future of Lehighton basketball. Speaking about the future of this program, Oertner started by reflecting on the past, “It has been satisfying. This past year was more satisfying for everybody. We are going to keep working. We are going to keep going forward and see where it takes us.”

Great Season (For the deer - eh, not so much) It was a great bow-hunting season for the Bachman family; on October 26, 2012 Gavin arrowed a five point deer on the family farm. This was his first year bow hunting with his father Paul Bachman. Pictured at right is Paul with a 14-point (one inch or longer) buck he shot on one of the last days of archery season and then below that is Gavin with his dad and grandfather, Paul. Counting points the old way there were 1719 points. (ed. – The ‘old way’ meaning it counts if you could put a ring around the antler)

Full House at this Year’s Cabin Fever Sportsman’s Flea Market It may be cold outside, but the deals were HOT inside at the 4th Annual Cabin Fever Sportsman’s Flea Market held recently at Blue Mountain Fish & Game Association. Scheduled the third Saturday each February, attendees search for the great bargains, find interesting products, and best of all…to meet old friends and make new ones. Businesses selling fishing, archery, hunting, and camping supplies to individuals selling their excess equipment at amazing prices. Vendor Bob Lash of Reading, commented “this is my fourth year at the Cabin Fever Flea Market and I look forward to it each year because of the atmosphere.” All ages enjoyed the event from a young boy buying his first fishing pole to attendees finding that much wanted item at an excellent price. Organizer Keith Hess said, “Plans are under way to celebrate the fifth year anniversary on February 15, 2014.” “Ideas include special giveaways to people who attend and of course our famous “Hot Doggy” hour.” Sportsmen and sportswomen interested in buying or selling should mark their calendars, which is open to the public.

Music for Enjoying a Pint (or three) of Stout
By Joe Korba I’m not in the business or propagating 1. Whiskey in the Jar - Thin Lizzy stereotypes, and I would hate to generalize 2. Barroom Heroes – Dropkick about the great celebration of Irish Culture that Murphys is St. Patrick’s Day. But, if you’ve attended any of 3. Black Friday Rule – Flogging the parades around our area I think it’s pretty Molly clear that people tend to…imbibe, and perhaps 4. Streams of Whiskey – The overindulge, in many of Ireland’s great beers and Pogues (really ANY Pogues song) spirits like Guinness and Jameson. Drinking and 5. The Irish Rover – The Dubliners music are necessary ingredients for any good 6. Nancy Whiskey – Shane MacGowen celebration, so in honor of our friends from the 7. Bog Down in the Valley – The Corries Emerald Isle here is the Gazette’s top 10 Irish 8. The Night that Paddy Murphy Died – Fiddler’s drinking songs to get knackered to. Green 9. Jug of Punch – Pete Seeger 10. Finnegan’s Wake – Traditional Irish Folk Song

Angie’s Way to Wellness By Angie Fenstermaker
Can I Drink Wine And Lose Weight? Sure...like dark chocolate, wine does offer some health benefits BUT also offers a halt in losing weight! The alcohol/wine calories you consume are not stored. Instead, they're converted to acetate, a type of fuel that the body burns quickly. As a result, you burn off your alcohol calories before you burn the fat you are trying to eliminate by increasing your exercise and cutting back on your food intake. You can work wine into your healthy lifestyle, but to do so, you'll have to account for the calories. And don’t think you can make up the damage, by doing extra gym time! That first sip has already caused damage and has halted progress. Alcohol/Wine is metabolized differently than other foods and beverages. Under normal conditions, your body gets its energy from the calories in carbohydrates, fats and proteins that need to be slowly digested in the stomach—but not when alcohol is present. When alcohol is consumed, it gets special privileges and needs no digestion. The alcohol molecules
diffuse through the stomach wall as soon as they arrive. The alcohol then arrives at the liver for processing. The liver places all of its attention on the alcohol. Therefore, the carbohydrates (glucose) and dietary fats are just changed into body fat, waiting to be carried away for PERMANENT FAT STORAGE in the body. When one is taking on a healthier lifestyle, working towards weight loss goals, I do believe that nothing should be completely nixed. This would not be lifestyle otherwise. When it comes to wine/alcohol though, you just need to be aware of the potential it has in slowing weight loss. In order to still enjoy some vino, AND achieve goals, I recommend to save it to one night a week, preferably a weekend night, after you have had a nice long consistent week of clean eating!

Dawn Ferrante Named TOP 25 Women in Business By NEPA Business Journal Dawn Ferrante, Executive Director of Carbon County Economic Development Corporation and Carbon County Chamber of Commerce Chairman of the Board, has recently been named one of the TOP 25 Women in Business in Northeast PA for 2013 by the NEPA Business Journal. Chosen from over 150 nominees by NAWBO (Northeast Pennsylvania chapter of the National Association of Women Business Owners) and the NEPA Business Journal, Ferrante was one of 25 prominent business women to receive this prestigious honor. The TOP 25 Women in Business Award is given to exceptional women business leaders and owners in NEPA and was first established in 2002 by the NAWBO and the Journal. This year’s honorees will be featured in the March issue of the NEPA Business Journal that will be released at the end of February. The TOP 25 will also be recognized at a cocktail party in April and at an awards luncheon in June. Ferrante is the first Carbon County businesswoman since 2007 to receive this award. Previous Carbon County honorees are: Peggy Shupp and Barbara Ryan (Co-Owners, Runway Boutique, Palmerton) in 2007 and Connie Moyer Hoffman (Owner/Operator, Duane Moyer Well Drilling in Lehighton) and Toni Artuso (Director of Carbon County Economic Development Agency, Jim Thorpe) in 2002. When asked about her thoughts on being one of the TOP 25, Ferrante replied, “I am absolutely thrilled to receive this amazing honor and to be part of a group of incredible women who are making significant contributions to the northeast.” Ferrante, too, has made significant contributions to Carbon County in the four years she has worked with the Carbon County Economic Development Corporation and the Carbon County Chamber. Her responsibilities include: raising the standard

of living for Carbon County residents as well as implementing new strategies, making valuable resources available and providing various means of support to help Carbon County businesses grow and thrive. When asked about her approach to being successful in her work, she says: ‘My approach is really multi-faceted. I believe it is always important to get out there and keep “showing up.” Being a good listener and an advocate for our business owners and residents and their needs are also extremely important. I also realize that one person cannot build a strong community alone, so my strategy has been to bring together a number of other organizations to help increase the level of service, programs and support that we provide to our local businesses. It is very rewarding to help make Carbon County a better place because this is where I call home and feel fortunate to raise my sons.’ Aside from her daily duties at CCEDC and the CCCC, Ferrante is currently working on a master’s degree and also resides on other boards, such as the North Eastern Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA) and the North Eastern Economic Development Association (NEDA) as well as oversees the administration of non-profits, such as the Carbon County Industrial Development Authority and Carbon County Business/Education.

Family Features
How to manage work, school and family life
or working adults seeking a college degree, adding “student” to the already long list of home, family and career responsibilities can be overwhelming and, sometimes, too much to balance. In fact, according to a study conducted by Inside Track, almost 30 percent of non-traditional students who drop out of college say it’s due to the challenges associated with balancing school, work and family commitments. If you are concerned about your ability to manage the work/family/school balancing act, take heart. You don’t need superpowers to achieve your educational goals, but it does take hard work and dedication. “The coursework associated with obtaining a college degree is rigorous,” said University of Phoenix School of Business Dean Dr. Bill Berry. “You have to be motivated and self-disciplined as well as have a solid game plan in place in order to succeed.” To help you find the right balance, Dean Berry offers these practical suggestions:
Good Timing Working academic studies into your already busy schedule requires some finesse. Dean Berry has some ideas for getting your timing just right. Set a realistic pace — While it’s tempting to want to take as many classes as possible so you can complete your degree sooner, for most working learners that’s just not possible. You may only be able to take one class at a time, so be realistic about what you can handle. Dedicate specific time — Some students find that setting aside certain nights of the week or specific blocks of time during the day to do school work is effective. If Tuesday and Thursday nights are open, or if you have an open block of time before work, for example, set that time aside just for studying. Find a flexible program — Going to college doesn’t always mean weekday classes on campus. Today, evening, weekend and online programs provide many alternatives for fitting class time into your schedule. Explore all your options and find a program that meets your needs.

Create a study plan
Simplify
The calendar is your best friend. Whether it is a family version that hangs on the refrigerator, or a digital format on your laptop or smartphone, it will be an essential planning tool for you.
In order to maintain any semblance of balance, it will be necessary to let go of some things — or at least not hold on to them so tightly.
n Upload
your class schedule into the calendar so anyone else using it to make plans can check your availability, and so you can plan around your classes.
n Add
your quarterly class milestones, including project due dates, tests, and any midterms or finals. This allows you to see right away if there are any potential conflicts between family or work events and class requirements. It also helps you build time into your schedule to study and work on projects.
n When
making a weekly schedule or to-do list, include daily study time. It won’t always be possible to block out time just for yourself, so think creatively. Can you catch up on reading assignments while waiting for basketball practice to finish or during your lunch hour? Can you write after the kids have gone to bed? Perhaps you can sit down at the table with your kids and all do your homework together.
In addition, Dean Berry says that when developing your study plan it is important to understand your own learning style. “Some people need peace and quiet in their own personal space, while others benefit from a social setting in which they can discuss the subject matter. Knowing what works for you can help you figure out when and where you’ll do your best studying.” For tips on finding the right time to study, see sidebar, “Good Timing.”
Smart Student Apps
Use your smartphone as a portable education tool. Here are some apps to help you be a smarter, more effective student: University of Phoenix Mobile (Free; iPhone and Android) — Interact in online classroom discussion forums, and receive real-time alerts when grades, new threads or responses are posted. Available exclusively to University of Phoenix students. Astrid Task/To-do List (Free; Android) — Import school, work and personal tasks to get completion reminders. You can also sync your lists with other online devices so you can share them with your family members and work or learning teams. Evernote (Free; iPhone and Android) — Save text, photos, and voice notes to an online account you can access from virtually any device, including PCs, tablets and smartphones.
n Start
by making a list of all your activities. Include everything from hobbies and leisure activities to household chores, work tasks and anything else on your to-do list. Then, begin paring down the list to the truly essential things. Do you really need to serve on the neighborhood clean-up committee this year? Can you cut back on volunteer hours or carpooling duties? Leave yourself some time for rest and relaxation, but drop extraneous obligations.
n Think
about what household chores can wait and/or be shared with family members. Laundry can go unfolded for a little while, and there are plenty of age-appropriate chores that kids can do on their own. Talk to family members about helping devise a plan that frees you up and still gets things done.
Don’t go at it alone While it’s up to you to do the work, you don’t have to do it in a vacuum. “It is important to have a good support system in place,” said Dean Berry. “You need the moral support and the practical help that friends and family members can give. They can encourage you when you feel down, and take care of the kids while you study. They are on your side, so don’t be afraid to ask them to be a part of your journey.” In addition, Dean Berry says it pays to take advantage of the resources colleges and universities have put in place for their students. For example, if University of Phoenix students are having trouble balancing school life with home and work life, they can get help from the Life Resource Center. Students can receive life and career coaching, financial advice, daily living resources, and even confidential counseling. To learn more, visit www.phoenix.edu. Balancing school, work and home life is a challenge, but with a study plan, strategies to simplify responsibilities, and a strong support system, you can meet that challenge and achieve your academic goals.

How can this then be? But as nice as the weather is, it can’t snow anymore, and we hope also no ice. Or should we wish for some ice in March? Years ago people always said, “Ice in March brings a good fruit yield.” Those who received cards in the mail for tickets to the Bushkill Fesammling on the 25th April in Stockertown should not put off sending in their money to Roy Fehnel in Belfast. If you forget this, you are out of luck for tickets and someone else gets you seats that evening and every year from then on. If you would like to get tickets and could not get any, give Roy your names to get on the list for another year. We would like to find out why some people dusted their chicken’s feathers with red pepper. A good Dutch friend told us people used to do this,
