5 things for your Sunday reading

It is a slow summer news day here in Franklin but there is good stuff around the internet to read and share. For example:

1 - As parents we are learning to raise our children to be digital citizens. We can not turn to our parents to help in this space. In this article, I like this sentence:
"Bridging the gap isn’t an annual family meeting—it’s a conversation that is on-going until your children leave the nest."
You can read the full article here
http://blogs.mcafee.com/consumer/making-it-cool-to-be-a-good-digital-citizen


2 - For the college students:
"One of the biggest recent trends in entry-level recruiting is the rise of the internship. Summer internships have become a necessary element of a college student’s qualifications for a post-graduation job, and many employers are treating internships as a “three-month interview,” making full-time offers to high performing interns for the following year."

Read the full posting about how to make your summer internships work for you
http://blog.linkedin.com/2013/07/24/the-ultimate-linkedin-guide-for-interns/


3 - For the family:
"There is no better time than summer break to spend some quality time in the kitchen with your kids. With all the learning our children do when they are off at school a few things they are not being taught are some pretty important household duties like cooking, cleaning, and laundry - just to name a few."

You can read the full posting on 10 recipes to cook with your kids
http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2013/07/26/real-food-tips-10-recipes-to-cook-with-your-kids/


4 - For those driving along Lincoln and Daniels St, if you don't already know about the road construction Warren Reynolds provides a good summery;
Quite an extensive stretch of Lincoln Street in Franklin, Mass will be worked on in coming months. Construction will open the Lincoln Street roadbed in sections roughly from Brook Street to Daniels Street. 
Before all work is completed in the fall, new lines will also be installed on Daniels Street (from its intersection with Lincoln Street up to Lenox Drive).

You can read the full article here
http://www.02038.com/2013/07/expect-delays-on-lincoln-street/


5 - And finally for the romantics among us, this is a wonderful time. It takes a couple of minutes to do the build up but then gets rolling. (Keep the tissues handy!)
"What's possible when a community comes together in love and gratitude!"

Governor Patrick and ChopChop Magazine Team Up to Provide Healthy Recipes fo...

Sent to you by Steve Sherlock via Google Reader:


By Emma Morrison, Communications Fellow at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services

As I walked into Community Servings (www.servings.org) in Jamaica Plain today, I was surprised to find so many excited children milling around, anxiously awaiting the arrival of Governor Deval Patrick.  As I too wait for Governor Patrick, I realize the chatter from the children is not only associated with meeting the Governor himself but also on their once-in-a-lifetime chance to make homemade cranberry applesauce with him.  [These adorable kids probably got to stay home from school today, but that's beside the point!]

Today is the launch of an exciting new partnership with the magazine ChopChop, the Fun Cooking Magazine for Families (www.chopchopmag.org) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health's Mass in Motion (www.mass.gov/massinmotion) initiative.  The new ChopChop newsletter will provide Massachusetts families (via email) a free monthly recipe using locally grown produce. The hope is that parents will be encouraged to spend time preparing fresh healthy meals with their children.  The ChopChop newsletter is designed to complement the Mass in Motion initiative to combat obesity and chronic disease in Massachusetts by encouraging residents to eat better and move more.

SDC10606After the children patiently sat through the introductions and short speeches, the fun really started.  Governor Patrick rolled up his sleeves, put on his apron and assisted the children with the final steps of preparing cranberry applesauce.  The Governor then graciously took pictures with each child and their parents.
Sally Sampson, founder of ChopChop, reminded audience members of the multitude of benefits cooking can have on children, including spending time together as a family, introducing healthy eating habits, learning locally grown fruits and vegetables and practicing mathematic skills.  Sounds like a win-win to me.

I will be the first to admit, if you aren't a 'cook' (which I am not) the kitchen can be intimidating. But hopefully, these fun, relatively easy recipes will ease kitchen anxiety and homemade meals will be looked at as a fun and enjoyable time to be with your family.  These newsletters will include personal messages from the Patrick-Murray Administration, along with fun facts about the food you are preparing and offer tips to help keep your kids safe in the kitchen as well!  The more that we can teach our children to cook healthy foods and to be nutritionally literate, the more we can support healthy eating habits over a lifetime.

Don't forget to sign up for new, healthy, monthly recipes your whole family can enjoy at www.mass.gov/massinmotion/chopchop.  Who knows -- maybe the next Emeril Lagasse will be found in the Commonwealth thanks to this exciting new initiative!
