(StatePoint) Many kids love the prospect of learning, while others may need a bit of motivation. But parents can get kids on board with a little encouragement and creativity to make learning fun. Here are some ideas to get kids excited to learn.
Library Visits By making a run-of-the-mill trip to the library seem like a true adventure, kids will associate books with intrigue at an impressionable age. The librarian can point out the best titles for inspiring learning and fun. Time visits to occur during your local branch’s storytelling hour or other early childhood programming. Also, be sure to sign your child up for a personal library card, which will be a source of pride at the circulation desk and put them on the path of reading enrichment. Learning Tablets To give kids an extra edge in learning, consider a fun yet educational tablet, such as the InnoTab MAX. Durable enough for kids, this device has a 7-inch multi-touch screen, and features progressive learning content that adapts to a child’s age. Web access and communication apps, which kids can use to exchange messages with friends and family, are limited to protect children, and parents are free to manage these controls. The tablet comes with Movie Maker and Art Studio, amongst other apps, and additional content can be found at the Learning Lodge app store. “The tablet has proven to be a welcome way for kids to interact with digital media,” says Dr. Eric Klopfer, Platform Learning Expert and member of the Expert Panel at VTech, a world leader in age-appropriate and developmental stage-based electronic learning products for children. “Touch interfaces and well-crafted content have meant an easy-on ramp for many children who learn through this technology.” Board Game Night After dinner, gather round the table a second time. From classic word games that challenge one to stretch the limits of his or her vocabulary, to trivia games testing science and world history knowledge, board games have the potential to bring the family together and also to educate. Be sure to check the box for age-appropriate guidance. Wearable Tech Wearable technology can inspire kids to learn and be creative while staying active. For example, the VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX offers motion-activated games, a stopwatch, calendar, 3D clock face and calculator so kids can work out simple math problems. It also includes a time-telling app featuring a friendly owl that helps kids learn to tell time, and additional apps are available for download on the Learning Lodge. The internal memory offers ample storage for budding photographers and videographers documenting the world around them. Sweeten the Deal Consider creating a rewards chart where children can track their progress as they meet learning goals. It can be an effective way to motivate kids to try new ways of learning and work hard to reach a goal. You can find many free downloadable charts online. More ideas can be found at www.vtechkids.com/parenting. To make learning a priority in your home, get kids on board. They’ll be inspired when they see that learning can be fun. . PUMP Moving to New Location A dedication for the new location of the Portland-Upper Mt Bethel Food Pantry (PUMP) will be held on Sunday, August 21 at 2:00 PM. The public is invited to attend the dedication. PUMP’s new location is at the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. William Pensyl Social Hall, 111 State Street, Portland.
Twenty-two years ago when Sherma LaBarre Godshalk felt the urge to help people needing food, she started PUMP with a few volunteers, a card table, and some donated canned vegetables from her church, Portland United Methodist. Sadly, Sherma died in April 2015, but her wish to see PUMP continue to help people in the Slatebelt area, continues. In recent months over 400 limited resource families from Bangor, East Bangor, Pen Argyl, Wind Gap, Portland, Upper Mt Bethel and Martins Creek communities, came to the pantry seeking help for themselves and their families. PUMP has outgrown its current location. The board and many volunteers have spent countless hours working on a new plan. The new location will provide larger and more efficient space, better parking, easier access to the building, more efficient storage and set-up of food items, easier unloading from the food trucks, easier access for clientele to name a few benefits. Blue Mt. Library Fund Raiser On August 16 Blue Mt. Community Library will partner for the first time with Emmy Lou’s Ice Cream Café for a fundraiser!

ENFIELD, Conn., (UPI) -- Emergency medical responders in Connecticut were filmed giving aid to an unusual patient -- a panicking squirrel with yogurt cup stuck on its head.
A video posted to Facebook by Enfield EMS shows the paramedics and other team members trying to catch the squirrel with a blanket. The squirrel, panicked by its blindness, attempts to leap its way to freedom, but falls flat each time due to the cup stuck on its head. The animal's erratic movements elicit laughter from the emergency responders before they are finally able to catch the "strong as hell" squirrel in the blanket and pull the cup from its head. The squirrel, apparently uninjured, then flees the "wildlife response team" without so much as a "thank you."

Smart Travelers Guide to Autumn Travel
(BPT) - Are you in need of a vacation but would rather skip the cost and the crowds during the busy travel months? You're in luck; fall is considered the shoulder season at destinations across the country, which means you can relax and enjoy America's beauty without breaking the bank. Shoulder seasons are travel enthusiasts' best-kept secret. Autumn, falling right between the busier summer vacation period and end-of-the-year holidays, offers plenty of affordable options. So give into your wanderlust and start planning with these travel tips for an amazing fall getaway.
Watch the weather
When deciding on a destination for fall travel, be sure to research the weather. In some locales, fall is the rainy season. In others, fall is simply an extension of summer. Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is the perfect example. Temperate weather and warm ocean water, paired with fewer travelers, makes this a prime destination for autumn adventures.
If you're craving fall colors, explore regions with sunny days and crisp nights. National parks are a wonderful option, as they're celebrating the centennial of the National Parks System throughout 2016. Check out Yosemite or Arcadia National Park, both well-known for fantastic fall foliage. Wherever you go, remember fall weather can be fickle. Be sure to select a location with a reliable climate.
Analyze accommodations
The shoulder season brings fewer crowds, which means not only a less stressful trip, but also less costly accommodations. Researching location-specific websites, like www.visitmyrtlebeach.com, you will discover many great options, from beach-side bungalows to chic city condos.
Resort costs often drop during autumn months, but so do the costs of private accommodations. House rentals may be the right home-away-from-home for you. Bonus: You might even have some negotiating power during the slow months.
Explore eateries
The fall provides a bounty of fresh flavors in regions throughout the country, making this time ideal for foodies or anyone who simply enjoys a scrumptious meal. Some destinations offer "stay and dine" deals to highlight local cuisine at an incredible price, so do your research and make reservations early.
If you want the food to be a central theme throughout your trip but don't want to battle for a table every night, seek destinations with a new or revitalized culinary scene. Underground foodies are flocking to Myrtle Beach, home to many up-and-coming chefs offering diverse flavors that will awaken and surprise your palate, such as liquid nitrogen tuna at The Chemist, Low Country egg rolls at 2nd Avenue Pier, or mango gazpacho at Chive Blossom.
The secret's out: fall may just be the ideal time for a vacation. Because you'll get more for less, you may just make it an annual tradition.

PUMP Moving to New Location
A dedication for the new location of the Portland-Upper Mt Bethel Food Pantry (PUMP) will be held on Sunday, August 21 at 2:00 PM. The public is invited to attend the dedication. PUMP’s new location is at the Portland Hook & Ladder Co. William Pensyl Social Hall, 111 State Street, Portland.
Twenty-two years ago when Sherma LaBarre Godshalk felt the urge to help people needing food, she started PUMP with a few volunteers, a card table, and some donated canned vegetables from her church, Portland United Methodist. Sadly, Sherma died in April 2015, but her wish to see PUMP continue to help people in the Slatebelt area, continues. In recent months over 400 limited resource families from Bangor, East Bangor, Pen Argyl, Wind Gap, Portland, Upper Mt Bethel and Martins Creek communities, came to the pantry seeking help for themselves and their families.
PUMP has outgrown its current location. The board and many volunteers have spent countless hours working on a new plan. The new location will provide larger and more efficient space, better parking, easier access to the building, more efficient storage and set-up of food items, easier unloading from the food trucks, easier access for clientele to name a few benefits.
