Winter Reminders

From the Fire Marshals and Public Works!HELP US, HELP YOU!When snow is on the ground that means winter is officially upon us. The arrival of cold weather means that firefighters will be in a constant battle with slippery roads, hidden hydrants, and frozen hose lines.

Do your part to help keep your neighborhood safe by clearing hydrants of snow. A clear path on all four sides makes hydrants easier to locate and operate in an emergency.

Also, in snowy weather, please utilize off-street parking whenever possible. This allows better access for emergency vehicles and also allows the Department of Public Works to clear the roads more efficiently.

And never shovel snow into the street!

3 ft

3 ft3 ft

Clearto Road

As always, the cooperation of residents and businesses is appreciated by the Townships to help them keep your streets and sidewalks safe during inclement weather. Please remember:

As long as it's snowing, the first priority is keeping main roads open and passable. Under normal circumstances, cul-de-sacs and dead end streets are typically plowed last because they carry the lowest volume of traffic. State highways and county roads are cleared by state and county snow removal crews.

Please keep in mind that it is almost impossible to keep snow from being deposited at driveways during plowing. Please do not shovel or blow snow from driveways into the street.

If you have a fire hydrant on your property, please clear the snow away from the area around it (leaving the markers intact).

Tenants and owners of properties abutting public streets are required to clear a pathway in the sidewalk. A path at least 30 inches wide must be cleared within 48 hours after it stops snowing/sleeting. Tenants/owners also are required to cover the sidewalk with ashes, sawdust or similar materials in the event of ice or sleet. Placing snow in the gutter or roadway is prohibited.

Holiday Inspiration Through Music and Faithby Terri McCarthy (Morrison)

What inspires you during the holidays? How do you connect to the spirit of Thanksgiving and Christmas? Participating in festive activities can put us in a holiday mood: decorating our homes, enjoying traditional meals with close family and friends, volunteering, exchanging gifts.

But one key aspect that links us to the season is music. As the neurologist Oliver Sacks noted in Musicophilia, music stimulates deep pleasure centers of our brains; it lifts our spirits and engages us personally. And researchers have shown that 15 minutes after participants listened to their favorite song, their brains were flooded with dopamine (a neurotransmitter which helps control the brain's pleasure centers).

Music is a key component of the Chr i s tmas ce lebra t ions a t Newtown Square Presbyterian Church. It is a highlight of multiple events - from Cocoa, Cookies and Carols (a perennial family favorite on December 14th at 4:00 pm) - to two special services on Christmas Eve.

The 5:00 pm service features a live Nativity scene, and every child (visitor and member) is invited to don a costume and join the tableau! Away in a Manger is a favorite during this service, along with all the songs and scripture which support the enactment of the birth of Christ.

The 8:00 pm service will be filled with favorites like Joy to the World, Angels We Have Heard on High, and O Little Town of Bethlehem. Dawn Stevens, the

Director of Music, described the reason why Christmas Carols are so powerful. "Hymns are our way to sing the faith, but carols recall how a prophecy was foretold. As we join to sing O Come All Ye Faithful we are called as a people from all walks of life - irrespective of background - to remember and rejoice.

The hymns and scripture will be enhanced by the Danoff String Quartet, Bell Canto Ringers, and the Chancel Choir. The 8:00 s e r v i c e i s v e r y m o v i n g , particularly at the end when our Pastor lights a candle, and passes the f l ame th roughout the congregation. We sing Silent Night, one of the most beloved carols worldwide, which recalls t he s imp l i c i t y o f such a monumental event for humanity. The service ends with Reverend Thomas quoting from the scripture of John, as everyone holds a candle and the sanctuary lights go down.

Reverend Dr. Jeanne Thomas came to Newtown Square Presbyterian Church three years ago, and has built the church into a growing, caring, and welcoming c e n t e r o f w o r s h i p . T h e congregation is experiencing great expansion - there are now ten times as many children in the youth programs as when Pastor Thomas arrived! Reverend Jeanne explained:

"This is a church imbued with a strong spiritual life, which values service and community. As the holidays approach, many of us feel the urge to connect with the deeper meanings of the season. We would like to offer a sincere welcome to all our neighbors throughout the

Delaware Valley to visit Newtown Square Presbyterian Church's h o l i d a y s e r v i c e s . T h e y encapsulate the warmth and care for the community that is such a part of this growing congregation. We have expanded greatly this year, and want to show our gratitude and love for our

neighbors through our services and outreach. It is a beautiful, but sometimes stressful and lonely time of year - and the church is committed to connecting and serving our neighbors. Please consider joining us for our wonderful Christmas Eve services, and celebrate the real joy and love that this season brings."

Reverend Doctor Jeanne Thomas and Dawn Stevens,Director of Music invite everyone to visit and celebrate the songs and

scripture of the season at Newtown Square Presbyterian Church.

Marple Newtown School District

Marple Newtown High School Ranked Nationally by Newsweek.

Student Ambassador Program at Marple Newtown High School

The Daily Beast, which owns Newsweek, used six indicators culled from school surveys to compare public high schools in the U.S., with graduation and college acceptance rates weighed most heavily. Other criteria included: college-level courses and exams, percentage of students with free or reduced lunch, as well as SAT and ACT scores - another mark of how well a school prepares students for college. Marple Newtown's graduation rate is 98.9%, with 87% going on to college. Average SAT score at MNHS is 1520 and average ACT score is 22.6 and 22% of students enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) classes.

Gregory Puckett, Principal of Marple Newtown High School

Eighth grade is a great year for students; it is the end of the middle school years and students have the feeling of being the "top dog" at

school. However, as the 8th grade year progresses, students and parents become more and more anxious about the "big move" to high school. Concerns range from becoming familiar with the new building, courses and bell schedule to figuring out how to make sound personal decisions as students transition from adolescence to young adulthood. These are all legitimate concerns and areas that we as educators factor into our planning as we prepare our students for life after high school. This is why Marple Newtown High School is excited to announce its first ever Student to Student Ambassador Program for incoming ninth grade students and students new to the high school.

Our Student Ambassador Program is designed to ensure that every student entering Marple Newtown High School knows at least one other student. Our mission is to ensure that all of our students feel connected to school and to help them build positive relationships with other students and teachers. The sense of belonging helps students to feel better about school and ultimately, will translate into better grades and better choices when confronted with challenging situations. According to a similar program called Link Crew, "The more connected students are to their new school, the better they will do in all the measures that are important in tracking their success: grades, test scores, attendance, and discipline. All these measures are positively affected when students are connected."

The way the program works, is that each incoming ninth grade student is assigned to a MNHS student ambassador. Each ambassador is responsible for ten incoming students. In June, our ambassadors met their students for the first time. During this time, the incoming students were greeted with cheers and

excitement in the cafeteria. The ambassadors met with their students, took them on a tour of the high school, and returned to the auditorium where administration addressed the students concerning expectations for being a MNHS student. Ambassadors then sent the students on their way with a drawstring backpack. After the students left, we began preparing for the August 26th ninth grade orientation. Our work included a two-hour summer workshop where we created our goals for the program, discussed what it means to be an ambassador, and started planning activities for the upcoming school year. At the conclusion of the workshop, each ambassador hand wrote a welcome letter to their incoming students.

The key to the success of our program is the quality of the students we select to be ambassadors. Our ambassadors are selected by the administration based on teacher and counselor recommendations. The ambassadors are students in grades 10 through 12 for the upcoming school year. The selection process for the ambassadors involved carefully selecting students who are the epitome of a MNHS student. They are great students with good grades and are involved in a wide range of school activities. These students are excited about the program and excited about working with each of their students.

Our hope is that with this new program we can encourage more students to get involved at school and participate in our awesome array of school-wide activities. Once each incoming student knows a current MNHS student; and maybe because of this, they will be more inclined to attend a Friday night football game or come to one of our amazing performances. Our ambassadors will personally invite their students to these big events and if the ambassador cannot be there, hopefully the

Marple Newtown School District student will have built new relationships with peers and will still attend the event.

It is an exciting time in education and more specifically at MNHS. Our school spirit meter is bubbling to the top. Our student attendance at school events has increased and our Tiger Pride is beaming everywhere. If you are on the fence about coming to MNHS, know that we provide support to all of our students and that each student who enters MNHS will know at least one other student here thanks to our ambassador program.

Governor Tom Corbett announced that $700,000 will be shared by17 school districts to serve as mentors under the Governor's Expanding Excellence Pilot Mentoring Grant Program. The goal of this program is to pair high-performing schools with low-performing schools to increase student achievement.

"This program goes to the heart of our education system increasing student achievement and preparing students for post-high school success," Gov. Corbett said. "I congratulate these schools for their strong record of academic progress, and I applaud each of them for their willingness to work with their peers to improve student performance."

Marple Newtown receives two $25,000 grants (MNHS and Worrall Elementary) in the Governor's Expanding Excellence Pilot Mentoring Grants; Initiative Focused on Increasing Student Achievement

Based on the 2012-13 School Performance Profile, public schools with a score of 90 percent or higher were eligible to apply for mentor grants of up to $25,000 for each profile component that contributed to their outstanding achievement.

A total of 55 mentor grant applications were received by the Department of Education.

Applicants were required to analyze strategies, processes and techniques, and design research-based models or training tools that can be used by schools across the state to improve student performance.

The 17 grant recipients will share their work with their peers at the Pennsylvania Association of School Administrators and the Pennsylvania School Boards Association's School Leadership Conference in October, and will showcase their models at the department's Standards Aligned System Institute in December.

Over the next several weeks, mentors will select a mentee from a list of interested public schools with a 2012-13 School Performance Profile score of 79 percent or lower. Both schools will work together to implement strategies in the mentee's school to improve student achievement.

The district in which a low-performing school is located and selected as a mentee will receive a $10,000 grant to assist in replicating the

research-based strategies or training tools designed by the mentor school.

The MNHS Athletic Hall of Fame acknowledges the accomplishments of dedicated individuals, successful teams, and committed coaches. The Hall of Fame bridges the gap and unites the past athletic accomplishments with the great potential of the future of Marple Newtown High School Athletics.

The Marple Newtown Hall of Fame Committee is proud to announce the 2014 Hall of Fame Inductees and Honorees.

MARPLE NEWTOWN HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME


Newtown Square Public Library

Watercolors are less forgiving than oils or acrylics. Every brushstroke is visible, so it's vital to make each touch to the paper count the first time, because you cannot paint over mistakes. And if you're a picky artist who feels compelled to get every blessed stone right in an old house, or depict every detail in the rigging of a wooden ship - watercolors can be an incredibly challenging medium.

That may be why it took Lin Webber decades to become a master artisan, strictly of watercolors.

Lin Webber's Master Strokes decorate Newtown Square Public Library!

Lin Webber Granted, she had an inkling of her talent in college. As a biology major, her fellow students would ask her to do their lab drawings. Then in her late 20s, a friend invited her to join an art classand Lin found her calling. She learned how difficult it was to paint certain elements - like water. Her breakthrough came when she took a full year to focus on painting, which culminated in a local show. It was a real joy and a real shock when "Lo and behold, people bought my paintings!"

Nowadays, Lin's signature watercolors are easily recognized throughout the

NorthEast - and are staples at multiple exhibits like Historic Yellow Springs, Malvern Retreat House, and New England's Mystic International Marine Art shows. She is a founding member and the Chair of both The Artist's Circle (based out of Paoli) and Flying Colors Fine Artists (a group in Glenmoore). Her two daughters (April D'Angelo and Kelley Stanford) are both artists, and her husband is a photographerso the entire family shares a love and a livelihood in the arts. Lin described how her life weaves into her work:

Newtown Square Public LibraryMy husband and I are amateur birders - we love capturing moments with a variety of birds in our artwork. And since I grew up in New England, I'm also partial to scenes that involve the sea - or peaceful, rustic still lifes. I also do set ups with items from our home - so if you're looking at one of my pieces, you may be looking at my belongings - perhaps a quilt and some tableware I've placed outside. Or an interior setting may be my

living room - so patrons may be seeing a rather intimate view of our home!

While her work is often displayed in different shows (she has been a perennial contributor to the Healing Art Works program, which places original

art in hospital rooms) she is looking forward to her exhibit during November and December at the Newtown Square Library. "It's exciting! There will be over 20 pieces in the show (all for sale) and I'm happy to be exposed to people that might not have seen my work before. It's a wonderful environment, and I welcome meeting new art (and book) lovers! Lin has a Facebook page, and can be contacted at email:[email protected] phone: 610-942-3234

Along Sugartown Road in Malvern stands the remarkably intact and lovingly restored, 19th-century village of Sugartown. In the early 1800s, with the American Revolution behind them, Sugartown's early residents established a school, general store, businesses and meeting places, creating a vibrant crossroads that provided goods and services to its surrounding farming community. The village was soon known as Shugart's Town, after tavern keeper Eli Shugart, and served as a vital stop for weary travelers hauling wagonloads of goods to the markets of Philadelphia and other parts of the county. Sugartown remained a social, educational, commercial and municipal center throughout the 1800s.

Today, Sugartown offers a window into American life in an early 19th-century rural crossroads village. Through the preservation efforts of Historic Sugartown, Inc., visitors experience how people came together to conduct business, exchange news, and shared their lives as a community.

A 19th-CenturyCrossroads Village

Since 1983, Historic Sugartown, Inc. has meticulously restored the 19th-century crossroads village to connect visitors with America's past through richly authentic experiences. The organization stewards 9.2 acres and nine buildings, including the c. 1880 General Store and Worrall House, the c. 1805 Garrett House, the Book Bindery, the Hannah Cheever House and barn.

Autumn is almost upon us! Football parties, Halloween and holidays are quickly approaching and if your dog has any habits that may be problematic or bothersome, now is the time to work on them! With all of the fun fall events, it is important to keep your furry family member in mind for their comfort and safety.

Many dogs have learned to overreact to the sound of a doorbell or door knock, leading to uncomfortable door greetings and potential escapes. This behavior can be problematic if you plan to have friends and family visit for a party or meal. It adds an extra layer of stress to what should be an enjoyable evening.

Rude door behavior, such as barking or lunging at the door when people visit, is extremely common and a highly reinforced behavior. From the dog's point of view, every time a delivery man or mailman approaches your door, they are a possible intruder and require immediate attention. Your dog does not realize that those individuals were scheduled to leave regardless of your dog's reaction. In their mind, they have just saved you from a potential threat because the person does leave while your pet is throwing a fit or behaving poorly. Thus the behavior is reinforced. While you probably can't ask every person coming to your home to act as a training tool (people have places to go and things to do after all), you can prepare your dog to behavior more appropriately when they hear the doorbell or knocker.

You have probably already taught your dog a variety of verbal cues without you even realizing that you have. Remember that your dog does not naturally speak English, but they have learned by association that "sit" means putting their bottom on the floor. They have also learned associations that you have not explicitly taught them, such as the doorbell brings potential intruders to protect you from or friends to jump on and greet. It is your job to use the doorbell as a cue for a different behavior. Just as your dog has

associated various words with specific behaviors, they are able to associate the sound of the door with a certain behavior.

There are plenty of options for what your dog could do when they hear someone at the door. One option is to send your dog to their crate or their bed at the sound of a doorbell (you can substitute a knock if that fits your home better). The easiest way to begin training would be with two people: one to ring the bell and the other to train the dog.

Start by having one person outside by the door and one person ready with treats or another high value reward (cheese, pieces of hot dog are great rewards!). Person A will ring the bell followed immediately by Pe r son B runn ing ove r t o t he predetermined location, such as a crate, and toss in a tasty treat. Person B should not say anything, as you want your dog to associate the bell with a location based on the reward -- not a word with the location.

Your dog will probably still bark and get worked up by the door, but unlike past experiences, no one is going to come in or respond. After a few moments your dog will probably get mildly confused or bored and come see what Person B is doing. That's when they will find their tasty reward. Person B can give them a few more rewards for hanging out in their crate then release them.

Repeat this game of Person A ringing the bell and Person B rewarding the dog for

going into their crate. Do this routine a few times a day until your dog is sprinting to their crate at the sound of the bell. Now you can start to wean out the treat that is waiting in the crate and only reward your dog after they have entered the crate. The next time an unplanned door bell ring occurs, your dog will hopefully run to their crate.

You should follow and reward your dog still and even potentially close the door or give a "stay" cue, allowing you to answer the door as needed without a dog overreacting at your entranceway. You have now changed the meaning of the doorbell for your dog and ended the problematic behavior of poor door etiquette. You can greet your guests and continue on with your plans without worrying about an overprotective dog, escaping dog, etc.

If you do not have a helper to ring the bell for you, consider scheduling a regular training party in the guise of football or movie night. You can invite a few friends over for a football game or movie (make sure it is airing on TV so that you have regular commercial breaks) and use them to help you train your dog. Of course, you can pay them in the form of food and drinks. Football games and movies that are airing on TV have fairly regular commercial breaks that you can use as training trials. Simply ask all of your friends to walk outside at the start of a commercial break and have them each ring the bell for you while you train following the directions above. You can act as Person B and have your friends ring the bell while you reward your dog at the appropriate location. As an added bonus, your friends can walk over and greet or feed your dog, as well. This allows extra rewarding for your dog and it's away from the door!

Fall is a great time to begin working with your dog on indoor etiquette. Summer warmth is fading and many social activities begin to move inside, so it is important to ensure that your dog is as happy to have visitors as you are!

Happy Training!

Senior LifestylesLaughteris theBestMedicineLaughter is the best medicine. We've all heard the saying, but I've found there is a lot of truth to that simple sentence.

In 2004, when my mother had her first stroke and my father clearly exhibited signs of diminishing mental capacity, my sisters and I were in shock. How could all these changes be happening so rapidly? Dad was calling my husband every night asking the same questions about his computer. Mom, who battled severe rheumatoid arthritis with admirable will, was having difficulty managing tasks that used to be routine for her. Our wonderful parents' active retirement in Florida was severely impeded with on-going health issues. Situations like this come up for families all too regularly. Whether it is a parent, a spouse or even a child, these issues change our lives dramatically. Needless to say, laughter was not high on my sisters' and my priority list.

Fortunately, a good friend talked to me about going through a similar situation with her mother. Her mother taught her a valuable lesson in the course of her illness laugh as often as possible. When things happen, even difficult and trying situations, try to find the humor in it. My sisters, my parents and I did just that. We were not disrespectful, and we certainly did not laugh when serious changes occurred, but we did find humor and were all able to laugh at some of the situations that happened over the next five years. Keeping our laughter to situations, not the person, kept us sane through the difficult times. "Your sense of humor is one of the most powerful tools you have to make certain that your daily mood and emotional state support good health." Paul E. McGhee, Ph.D.

In an article on HelpGuide.org titled "Laughter is the Best Medicine," the link between laughter and mental health are described as follows:

Laughter dissolves distressing emotions.

Laughter helps you relax and recharge.

Humor sh i f t s perspec t ive , allowing you to see situations in a more realistic, less threatening light.

As a popular quote says: "You don't stop laughing because you're old. You grow old because you stop laughing." Find something to laugh about today and share it with a friend or family member!

A wonderful friend of Surrey's sends me jokes, funny sayings or amusing pictures once a week. You can often hear laughing in the Surrey hallways as staff read the jokes that I have shared with them or posted outside my office. It is a wonderful sound and just one of many wonderful things that friends of Surrey bring to our lives.
