Back-to-school rulesSchool Bus

• If your child’s school bus has lap/shoulder seat belts, makesure your child uses one at all times when in the bus. If yourchild’s school bus does not have lap/shoulder belts, encouragethe school to buy or lease buses with lap/shoulder belts.

•Wait for the bus to stop before approaching it from the curb.•Do not move around on the bus.•Check to see that no other traffic is coming before crossing.•Make sure to always remain in clear view of the bus driver.

•Children should always boardand exit the bus at locations that

provide safe access to the busor to the school building.

Car•All passengers should

wear a seat belt and/or anage- and size-appropriate carsafety seat or booster seat.

•Your child should ride ina car safety seat with a har-

ness as long as possible andthen ride in a belt-positioning

booster seat. •Your child is ready for a booster seat when she hasreached the top weight or height allowed for her seat, her shoul-ders are above the top harness slots, or her ears have reachedthe top of the seat.

•Your child should ride in a belt-positioning booster seat untilthe vehicle's seat belt fits properly (usually when the child reach-es about 4' 9" in height and is between 8 to 12 years of age). Thismeans that the child is tall enough to sit against the vehicle seatback with her legs bent at the knees and feet hanging down andthe shoulder belt lies across the middle of the chest and shoulder,not the neck or throat; the lap belt is low and snug across thethighs, and not the stomach.

•All children under 13 years of age should ride in the rearseat of vehicles. If you must drive more children than can fit in therear seat (when carpooling, for example), move the front-seatpassenger’s seat as far back as possible and have the child ridein a booster seat if the seat belts do not fit properly without it.

•Remember that many crashes occur while novice teen driv-ers are going to and from school. You should require seat beltuse, limit the number of teen passengers, do not allow eating,drinking, cell phone conversations or texting to prevent driver dis-traction; and limit nighttime driving and driving in inclement weath-er. Familiarize yourself with your state’s graduated driver licenselaw and consider the use of a parent-teen driver agreement tofacilitate the early driving learning process.

Bike•Always wear a bicycle helmet,

no matter how short or long the ride.•Ride on the right, in the same

direction as auto traffic.•Use appropriate hand signals.•Respect traffic lights and stop

signs.•Wear bright color clothing to increase visibility.•Know the "rules of the road."

Walking to School•Make sure your child's walk to a school is a safe route with

well-trained adult crossing guards at every intersection.•Be realistic about your child's pedestrian skills. Because

small children are impulsive and less cautious around traffic,carefully consider whether or not your child is ready to walk toschool without adult supervision.

• If your child is young or is walking to new school, walk withthem the first week to make sure they know the route and can doit safely.

•Bright colored clothing will make your child more visible todrivers.

• In neighborhoods with higher levels of traffic, consider start-ing a “walking school bus,” in which an adult accompanies a groupof neighborhood children walking to school.

You’re never to old to go back to schoolBy Ronda Addy

For one reason or another, you're con-sidering going back to school. You've been

out for so long you're not sure you can do it.Sure, you're older and wiser now, but

you're still going to feel out of placeamong all of those 18-year-olds.You won't have much in commonwith them, and you're not sure how

you are going to balance school, fam-ily and career.

Before returning to school, you needto consider how committed you areand the amount of time you have avail-able. Are you willing to give up your

free time so you can study? Do you havethe time to juggle everything? Being able

to focus and stay committed will give youa better chance of success. If you are hesi-

tant, you might want to start with one ortwo classes and see how things go from

there.Deciding to return to school is just the beginning.

You will need to select a program of study and a degree.You could get a certificate, indicating you have com-pleted a number of courses in a specific area. You couldget an associate's degree, indicating you have completedtwo years of full-time academic study. You could get abachelor's degree, indicating you have completed fouryears of full-time academic study. Should you want tocontinue your studies further, you may get a master's ora doctorate degree. The latter is the highest level of aca-demic study a person can achieve.

The school you attend will depend upon where youplan to live and what's available in that area. You couldselect a school and move there, or you could stay whereyou are and choose among the schools there.Community colleges are designed for two years of studyand award associate's degrees. They cost less than four-year colleges, often have less stringent admissionrequirements and may offer certificate programs and jobtraining programs. Vocational colleges offer a variety oftraining programs in areas such as business, the culinary

arts, paralegal training and fashion design. Public andprivate four-year colleges and universities award bache-lor's degrees in a number of subject areas. They costmore but compensate for that with more financial aid.

If sitting in a classroom doesn't appeal to you, thereare other options. You could study at home through dis-tance-learning schools. These offer classes and assign-ments online. You might also look into the CollegeLevel Examination Program (CLEP). You may earnthree to 12 college credits by taking the CLEP exam anddemonstrating knowledge in a particular subject. Keepin mind this must be backed by work experience, pub-lished works, specialized training, military or communi-ty service, or certification or licensing.

Before going back to school, make sure you haveresearched all your options and know your limitations.Talk to other older students. Ease yourself back into theprocess by taking a few classes that interest you. Attendany campus orientations and learn everything you can.Remember, you are going back to school because youwant to, so relax. It won't be easy, but you just mightenjoy yourself.

Part of the fun of camping is the campfire foodBy Angela Shelf Medearis

Camping! Just the word evokes manyfeelings. If you already love it, you mightfondly remember trips of the past - recre-ation with friends and family, or quiettime communing with nature. If you'renew to it, you might be excited about themysterious forest or vast ocean vistasyou'll see.

A recent survey by the OutdoorFoundation, a non-profit group that pro-motes outdoor activities, indicates camp-ing popularity rose 7.4 percent in 2008after a decline the year before. Overnightbackpacking grew by 8.5 percent, thegroup reports.

"People are returning to simplerlifestyles - the 'less is more' ethic," saysthe foundation's Christine Fanning. "Andeveryone is searching for vacations thatfit with today's economy."

Typically, National Forest campgroundfees go for $10 to $15 per night. Here aresome tips for tent campers courtesy ofKOA Kampgrounds:

New tent? Practice setting it up in thebackyard before going on a trip.

Invest in good sleeping equipment.Choose air mattresses, cots or sleepingbags that will give you adequate rest soyou can get the most out of your daytimeactivities.

Stay dry: •Use a ground cloth under your tent as

protection from rips and moisture.

•Use the rain fly, even if the sky looksclear.

•To prevent rain from leaking intoyour tent, apply a seam sealant to theinside and outside of all exposed tentseams.

Keep your tent clean:

•A whisk broom is handy for sweepingout dirt and leaves.

•Place an indoor/outdoor rug in frontof your tent entrance for dirty shoes.

•Bring duct tape for quick repairs ofsmall tears, splintered tent poles and thelike.

If you love the great outdoors, but pre-fer the creature comforts of home, camp-ing also has kept up with the times. Youcan select high-end campsites featuringlodges that rival an urban hotel, completewith Wi-Fi and concierge services.

One thing that hasn't changed aboutcamping is the joy of a tasty meal pre-pared on an open fire. These recipes forCampfire Stir-Fry and Pineapple Surprise

are quick and easy, and the flavors areenhanced by enjoying the meal in thegreat outdoors!

Campfire Stir-FryYou can use cubes of beef or chicken

and your favorite selection of vegetables(including drained canned or frozen veg-etables) in this simple recipe.

8 chicken or beef sausages6 small new potatoes, thinly

sliced2 small summer squashes cut

into rounds2 large carrots cut into 2-inch

pieces2 cloves garlic, mashed and

peeled1 stalk celery, diced 1 medium onion, thinly sliced3 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 1/2 tablespoons poultry sea-

soning or Italian seasoning1 teaspoon salt1 teaspoon black pepper Put all of the ingredients into a 13-by-

9-inch baking pan (a disposable alu-minum pan works fine) or a large cast-iron skillet. Drizzle the ingredients withthe oil. Sprinkle on the seasonings. Mixeverything together until coated with theoil and spices. Place over medium coalsfor 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasional-ly, until the sausages are cooked throughand the potatoes are tender.

Campfire Pineapple

Upside-Down Cakes8 glazed doughnuts (day-old

work fine)8 pineapple rings1 stick (8 teaspoons) butter8 Maraschino cherries with

syrup8 teaspoons brown sugar

1. Prepare eight (8-inch) squares ofaluminum foil (one square per doughnut).Place 1/2 of a pat of butter in the centerof the foil. Place 1 pineapple ring on topof the butter and 1 doughnut on top of thepineapple. Add 1 teaspoon of the brownsugar inside each doughnut hole. Add theremaining 1/2 of the pat of butter on topof the brown sugar. Top each doughnutwith 1 Maraschino cherry and a teaspoonof the syrup.

2. Bring the sides of foil over the topof the dessert and twist the ends of thefoil together to close tightly. Place thedoughnut packets on the coolest part ofthe campfire grill and cook over low heat,5 to 7 minutes, until the butter and brownsugar have melted.

Here’s some handy household tips"If you have to give your child medicine that he or she doesn't like, let the child eat

half of a Popsicle first. Then give him the medicine, and let him have the other half.This is especially helpful during fevers or with vomiting, when you want to stave offdehydration. Ice pops are easier fluids to ingest, and the cold interrupts the bad taste ofthe medicine." -- M.L. in Arkansas

Protect the teeth on handsaws by covering them up in storage. Cut a length of gar-den hose to fit the length of the saw, then split it down the side. Push the teeth of thesaw into the split, and your saw - and you - are protected.

If your small appliance has a long cord, try looping it and stuffing the excessthrough a cardboard paper-towel or toilet-paper roll.
