Pen Argyl Ribbon Cutting For
"Click and Mortar" Retail Gift Store

Picture

by Jacqui Hower   
  The Slate Belt Chamber of Commerce, local dignitaries, and proprietor, Janell Connolly, celebrated a Slate Belt Chamber ribbon cutting ceremony on small business Saturday, heralding the Grand Opening of her new store Threadstone Trading Company on November 30.
   The retail gift store featuring a nostalgic storefront is located at 207 South Robinson Avenue, Pen Argyl. Inside shoppers can browse through a unique and eclectic array of women and men’s clothing, apothecary and toiletry items, handcrafted jewelry and household items, children’s toys, various displays of art highlighting the talents of local artists, slate gifts, and much, much more.
  Threadstone Trading Company is an excellent example of a new type of business model—‘click and mortar’, where a robust online store with strong sales is combined with a storefront in smaller or emerging commerce areas like the Slate Belt. Ms. Connolly is a lifetime resident of Pen Argyl and is excited to provide local residents and surrounding community citizens with the opportunity to #shopsmall, promote and feature local artisans’ work, and offer a place to gather with family and friends to create their own works of art with paint-and-sip classes.

  Business hours and upcoming events can be located at Threadstone Trading Company’s Facebook page or website:

Parents Also Guilty of Too Much Screen Time

Picture


   (StatePoint) Parents spend nearly the same amount of time with devices as they do with their kids, according to new research from The Genius of Play, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to raising awareness of play’s vital role in child development.
  The results of the OnePoll survey of 2,000 parents of school-aged children ages 5-18 suggest that families should be finding more screen-free ways to spend time together. Half of the survey’s respondents have been asked by their child to put their phone away, and 79 percent believe that their relationship with their children would benefit if everyone spent less time on devices.
• Sixty-two percent of parents admitted to spending too much time on their cell phone while with their kids.
• Sixty-nine percent feel “addicted” to their phone.
• Parents spend almost as much one-on-one time with devices as with their kids. They are spending an average of two hours and 17 minutes of personal time on their phone per day, compared to two hours and 41 minutes of quality, screen-free time with their children.
The survey also found that while parents worry about the amount of screen time kids are getting, technology is now an integral parenting tool.
• The majority (83 percent) agree that screens and technology are necessary when raising a child in this day and age.
• Parents use screen time to keep their child occupied (58 percent), as a reward (53 percent) and to help their child calm down when they’re upset (52 percent). In addition, taking screen time away is used as a consequence (63 percent).

                           Long-Term Care Rider Insurance
   A long-term care rider is a Universal Life add-on that may cost less than you think, but you’ll be glad to have it when you need it. It’s easy to purchase as part of a life insurance policy from Erie Family Life Insurance Company.
   It’s not something you want to think about, but most of us will need long-term care at some point in our lives. Your need for care may develop suddenly, brought on by a major health event like a heart attack, stroke or injuries from a car accident, or develop gradually as you age or when a chronic illness gets worse.
    Planning now will give you the opportunity to protect yourself from the full effect of the high costs of long-term care. You can choose the level of care that you want with an eye toward preserving the bulk of your savings or estate, while relieving your family members of the burden of making these decisions for you at a stressful time.
It’s also important to keep in mind that private health insurance or Medicare may not pay for the long-term services that you need, so taking some time to develop a plan for yourself and your loved ones that can be enacted should the need arise is a smart financial move.

Help Track Bald Eagle Population 

Picture
  The Pennsylvania Game Commission is asking for the public’s help to track the state’s growing bald eagle population. After reaching a low of just three nesting bald eagle pairs in the Commonwealth in the early 1980s, officials now estimate there are more than 300 nesting pairs here.
   While bald eagles are no longer listed as a threatened species in Pennsylvania, they are still protected by the U.S. Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, which prohibits taking of the birds, nests or eggs. If you spot a bald eagle nest, please use proper etiquette to avoid disturbing the birds.

Security Grant Program for Nonprofits

Picture
  Faith-based institutions and nonprofit organizations will be eligible for grants to boost security at their facilities under a new law approved by the General Assembly and signed by the governor.
  Act 83 of 2019 will make funding available to faith-based institutions and nonprofits that serve individuals, groups or institutions listed by the FBI as at risk for hate crime incidents.
  Grant awards will range from $5,000 to $150,000. Faith-based institutions and nonprofits could use the money for a variety of security planning, equipment and technology needs, including surveillance cameras, emergency communications equipment, electronic locksets, threat assessments and building upgrades.
  The program is similar to the School Safety Security Grant Program, which helps schools meet a variety of security needs. It will be administered by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency. Applications are expected to become available early next year.

Citizens Shape Our State Parks

Picture





   From one state park in 1893, to 121 state parks in 2015, DCNR’s Bureau of State Parks has blossomed into one of the largest state park systems in the eastern United States -- comprising nearly 300,000 acres statewide.
  Thanks to the work of inspired leaders and concerned citizens, these public natural places have turned the once “Pennsylvania Desert” -- from the boom of coal and lumber industries after the Civil War -- into a forest wonderland.
  From the 1950s through the 1970s, the number of state parks grew from 50 to 111 as part of a goal of locating a state park within 25 miles of every citizen in Pennsylvania.
  In the 1980s, an ongoing effort was started to improve park facilities and to support environmental education and interpretation.
In the early 1990s, State Parks 2000 was the initiative that helped guide the modernization of state parks. This strategic planning effort called for:
  • The modernization of facilities
  • Expanding environmental education program offerings
  • Designating natural areas in parks to better protect sensitive or special natural resources
Now, 25 years later, DCNR is undergoing another planning process to guide the agency in caring for state parks for the next 25 years. Read more...

Best Flu Hacks Every Traveler Should Know

Picture


   While everyone wants to make the most of their vacation, travel can do a number on one’s health, and during flu season, the risk of feeling unwell is even higher. Feel your best with these tips:
• Flu levels increase during winter because people spend more time in enclosed spaces together touching surfaces and breathing “shared” air. Traveling only amplifies this. Reduce your chances of swapping germs by avoiding contact with shared items. 
• Ironically, just when handwashing is most vital -- while traveling -- it becomes less convenient. Carry handwipes and sanitizers and use them when you can’t wash your hands. More importantly, avoid rubbing your eyes or nose.
• An airplane cabin’s dry air accommodates the growth of viruses that thrive on low humidity. Additionally, travelers often refrain from hydrating to avoid frequent bathroom trips. Yet, when mucous membranes are dry, they can’t keep germs at bay. A general rule is to drink at least 8 ounces of water for every hour in the air. 
• Getting medical attention away from home is tough. Travel smart with over-the-counter products that are homeopathic and easy to use. Some, like Oscillococcinum, are good to pack in your carry-on so you can take at the first sign of symptoms.  Widely available in supermarkets and drugstores, this flu medicine is taken without water, making it an ideal travel remedy.
  To learn more, visit Oscillo.com.
• There’s no doubt that travel can cause stress, which research has shown can increase susceptibility to flu and even increase the severity of symptoms. Being flexible, prepared and building extra time into your schedule can make for stress-free travel.
• Exercise boosts energy and immunity, so don’t take a vacation from workouts while traveling. 
•  Get plenty of rest before your trip to keep your body’s natural defenses at optimum levels.
