“Wow, if you are in need of a dentist, Dr. Calvin Kim is awesome!”“We have been to two other dentists in the past year, both of them pediatric dentists, in an effort to have dental work done on our daughter. She was petrified to the point that both dentists insisted that she be put under general anesthetic. Dr. Kim asked me if I could give it a try. I agreed and so thankful. He took the time to put Mary at ease and got through the whole treatment. Mary actually asked when she could back! How is that for a compliment?” - Kristen Zanas

In other words when someone asks you why you believe or why you go to church on Sunday, you must be ready always to give them a good answer, a Biblical answer.

It appears to this author that it is not possible for a person to give a good defense for his belief unless he knows God’s word. And how is it possible for someone to know God’s word unless he studies it.

The word of God is food for the soul and Jesus said in Matthew 5:6, Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righ-teousness: for they shall be filled. Study the teachings of Jesus found in the New Testament, feed on Jesus, the bread of life and you will never hunger and thirst again.

Oh the treasure we have at our fingertips if we would only partake of it, the words of life, the Bible. Study it, learn from it, and make it your own. You will be wonderfully blest for your effort.

Peter writes in 1 Peter 3:15: But sanctify in your hearts Christ as Lord: being ready always to give answer to every man that asketh you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, yet with meekness and fear.


The green florets on broccoli stalks

are actually immature flowers. If left to grow, they open into tiny yellow flowers.

Sunflowers move

throughout the day in response

to the movement of the sun from east to west.

The English name of “dandelion” is derived from the French dent de lion which means “lion’s tooth” due to it coarsely toothed

leaves.

There are more than 2,500,000

species of flower-ing plants in the

world.

The flower with the world’s largest bloom

is the Rafflesia arnoldii. This rare

flower is found in the rainforests of Indonesia and can grow to be 3 feet

across and weigh up to 15 pounds.

Roses are actually related

to apples, raspberries,

cherries, peaches, plums, nectarines,

pears and almonds.

The smallest flower in the world comes

from the Wolffia plant.

• Sing some “finger play” songs, make up rhymes, sing your daily activities to familiar

tunes like “Let’s go take a bath, turn on the water” to the tune of “Row Row Row

Your Boat.”

• Touch and describe new textures, match colors, talk about size and shapes.

• Make a photo album of family members, pets and favorite places —- have your

child find each one you name.

• Give your child choices, “Do you want milk or water.”

• Think quality over quantity — simplified sentences with inflection

such as “uh-oh, shoe fell.”

The first thing to tell the kids is, there are no apes. Don’t worry if they’re disappointed about that. Once they find out how cool the ape cave is, they’ll get over it. The Ape Cave is really an old lava tube created when Mt. St. Helens erupted years ago. Lava flowed out of the ground and as the outer part of the lava hardened it created this tube. It is the third lon-gest lava tube in North America and it makes a great adventure for the whole family. If the kids are still wondering why it is called Ape Cave when there are no apes, it’s really very simple – they were named after a Boy Scout troop who explored the cave, even though it was a logger who actually discovered the cave in 1947.

Ape Cave is actually one long cave, but has two parts, referred to as the “Lower Cave” and the “Upper Cave.” Start out in main cave, which is the “Lower Cave.” It is about ¾ of a mile long. You will walk down a set of stairs when you enter the lower

cave. Some of the floor is smooth, some has chunks of rock that has fallen down. There are places where you will need to climb over and around rocks but it is pretty easy to do.

After you have spent about an hour exploring this section, go back out and head to the “Upper Cave.” This section is about 1½ miles long.

The lower cave is easier to explore as there is a spot in the upper cave where you have to climb down a ladder to reach the floor of the cave and another place where you climb an 8-foot wall. Good information to be aware of if you have anyone in your party afraid of heights.

One important thing to know about the cave be-fore you go is that the temperature in there is quite different from the outside — it’s much colder. So even if it is 80 degrees outside, you’ll need to dress warm because it is barely above 40 degrees inside the cave. Wear good hiking shoes with grip, as the floor can be slippery and uneven. It is also very dark in the cave, so make sure everyone has two sources of light such as a headlamp and flashlight in order to see.

*To help preserve the cave, no pets, food, drinks or smoking is allowed.

by Nancy Keaton of Chehalis

The Visitor Center is open daily, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., weather dependent beginning

in the spring until Labor Day, after which it is open Saturdays and Sundays. If visitor

center is open lanterns can be rented for $5. Don’t forget $5 cash (per vehicle) for

the day use fee, which can be paid at the un-attended fee station.

Nancy Keaton lives in Chehalis with her family. They look for every opportunity

to get out and enjoy the outdoor such as camping, biking, hiking, kayaking, fishing,

rockhounding, and simply exploring.

White-Nose Syndrome is fungus that is killing bats. Some caves are being closed to help control the spread of it. In order to protect Ape Cave, before you go make sure you decontaminate your clothes and equipment if you have been to any other caves. Bats are a vital part of our ecosystem so we want to be sure we do our part to keep them safe.

SWWF

GettinG there:

Take I-5 to exit 21. Go on State Route 503

to Cougar then take Lewis River Road east

for 2.8 miles. The road changes to Forest

Road 90. Continue on to Forest Road 83,

approximately four miles and turn left onto

Forest Road 83 for three miles then turn

left onto Forest Road 8303. Go about a mile

and a half and then you’ll see the Ape Cave

Headquarters on the right.

save the Bats!It’s sure to be a great hike, but if the kids don’t get worn out and still want to hike more there are other kid-friendly hikes to go on in the area.

Right before the Ape Cave on Forest Road 8303 is the “Trail of Two Forests.” It is a short ¼ mile walk on a boardwalk that will be sure to thrill the kids as the “forests” are actually limb casts, remnants of forests that were taken over by lava 1,900 years ago, burning the trees but leaving their hollowed-out impressions.

Then if the kids are still full of energy, head back out on Forest Road 83 for about 5.7 miles. There you will find June Lake Trail. This is a little longer hike at 2 ½ miles so you might want to take along a nice little picnic lunch to enjoy by the small lake. The kids can also take the opportunity to play on the sandy beach at the lake before making the hike back. If they like rocks they will love the steep basalt col-umns lining the lake. Basalt is another sign of volca-nic activity, having been created by rapidly cooling lava.

If you still want to explore more, head another 3½ miles up Forest Road 83 to the Lahar Viewpoint. These are also good alternatives to keep in mind in case the Ape Cave is too busy as it can often get on weekends and holidays.

*As most of these sites are located within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, a Northwest Forest Pass is required or you can pay the day fee at the trailhead. The $5 (cash) can be paid at a non-attended fee station. No pass is required at June Lake because it is outside the national forest. And remember, never leave valuables in your car, take plenty of water and stay safe.

I’m mostly looking forward to my first one! Last year I was pregnant and I don’t think I felt the true meaning of Mother’s Day. Of course it’s always fun and nice to spend time with my mom for Mother’s Day. It will be different having my own baby!~Allison C. of Mossyrock

My first Mother’s Day as a mom. Realizing God gave me the toughest yet most

rewarding job on the planet. My kids are such a blessing and they are the greatest

gift I’ve received by far.~Heather J. of Rochester

My husband took our girls and they picked out a bird bath for me. I have always

enjoyed brunch with my mom and siblings to celebrate my mom too.~Michelle E. of Chehalis

My daughter helping her brother make a Mother’s Day gift that she had planned for days at only 6 years old. She kept telling him to keep it a secret and he just didn’t understand the whole concept. She took it upon herself to make handmade flowers since she didn’t have any money of her own, along with a handmade card. And, she told her brother what to write in his. Sweetest, most thoughtful little gift that I’ll cherish forever!~Stephanie S. of Centralia

We asked our readers,

“What is your favorite Mother’s Day memory or gift?” Here is what they shared:

What made you decide to become a teacher?I decided to be a teacher after becoming a nanny in New Jersey. I realized that I loved being around kids. I was always babysitting, helping kids with homework, and coaching different sports teams — it just seemed like the natural fit. That and I realized there was more to being a weather woman that just being on t.v!

How did you become involved with the Youth Fair?C: I became involved with the Youth Fair because I was too young to be in 4-H. I love to show cows and this was the only way I could show my

cows before I enrolled in 4-H. Also, my big brother Zach was already showing so it was easy for me to tag along.

M: My sister and I started by entering cooking and sewing projects in the Spring Youth Fair. When I was 3 years old, I got a special ribbon for some cookies I made. The next year we showed rabbits too, and I got to borrow a pig and show it in the arena with a cane. *That is how we got started at Spring Youth Fair. Now we raise pigs and have baby piggies on our farm!

*At the Spring Youth Fair, kids under 8 years old can show in the Swine Barn in the PeeWee Division, and can borrow a pig to show. They don’t need to be enrolled in 4-H.

What is your favorite part of the Youth Fair?C: My favorite part of the Youth Fair is showing my cows. I love my cows so much and I want people to see how hard I work with them. My other favorite part is spending time with friends. I have so many friends in the dairy barn so this is a time I can spend with them for 3 days.

M: Showing pigs!

What have you learned by participating?C: I have learned that hard work is what I need to do in order to get ready for the show ring. My hard work also helps me over come my fear of being in the show ring.

M: That the pig’s bottom is where the hams are.

Fun for Everyone4-H is the nation’s largest youth positive development or-

ganization in the United States. 4-H is not just for those with animals. It covers every part of a child’s life such as agricul-ture, cooking, sewing and robotics or forensic science.

A child can enroll in many different interests and it is these interests that can lead to amazing opportunities down the road — including scholarships!

The Lewis County Youth Fair is unique because you do not need to be enrolled in 4-H to participate. The Youth Fair is open to all youth, up to 19 years old.

In the dairy department, you do not need to own the animal. Participants just need to fill out the entry form and follow the guidelines and they will be in for three days of dairy fun.

Have you never participated but are curious about it?

Cassy S. and her

cow Brownie.

Here is a little question and answer time with two Youth Fair participants:

Michelle Schilter operates a fourth generation dairy farm

(Sun-Ton Farms) in Adna with her husband Lonny and

in-laws. She loves to work alongside her husband, milk

cows and raise her three kids on the family farm. The farm

milks 250 cows and farms over 400 acres.

For those who want to enter the Youth Fair, go to springyouthfair.org.

From there you can click on any subject and see the requirements.

The main thing to remember is a child does not need to be enrolled in

4-H to participate. If you have questions, contact Michelle Schilter at

[email protected].

Want to join in on the fun?

What is the hardest part?C: The hardest part of the Youth Fair is getting to the barn at 5:30 a.m. It is super early but if I want my cow to be ready, we need to get there that early. The other hardest thing is making sure I pick the right animal to show.

M: Getting the pig into the arena. Also, cleaning the pens is hard work.

How did you pick the category you are in?C: My mom and dad run a dairy with my grandparents so picking dairy is pretty easy. We have over 500 cows so I have plenty of animals to choose from. Also, my big brother was already showing dairy cows so I just followed him.

M: My big sister shows pigs in 4-H. Even though I’m not old enough to show pigs at the big fair, I get to show pigs at the Spring Youth Fair. I also show my guinea pig, rabbits, and enter cooking and sewing projects.

What is involved in preparing for the Youth Fair?C: Preparing for the Youth Fair takes a long time. In February I pick out what animals I want to show. This year I picked a cow named Bedazzled. I started working with her with a halter. The more I work with them on a halter, the easier it is to lead them in the ring. I am showing two animals so I need to work with both animals. I have to work in my animals while I am also playing soccer, singing in choir and helping my mom feed calves.

M: Getting pigs into the trailer. We also have to wash the pigs so they can be clean and shiny for the judges.

This five-star book is certainly about a subject that most parents have encountered with their young school-aged kiddos! The little girl, Cupcake, exclaims, "I don't want to go to school!" Then she does her best to try to wiggle her way out of going. The illustrations are colorful, the rhyming sentences add to the fun and any child would be able to relate their feelings with what little Miss Cupcake is going though. Her mother's reaction is priceless and can help give every parent a good tip or two about how to handle the same situation. Overall, the outcome of Cup-cake's story will help ease the minds of many kiddos if they are feeling any first-day jitters. I would suggest this book to parents that know their little one is likely to be nervous about the first day of school.

Whether it is between natural siblings or step-children, it is equally frustrating. Even when there is not active fighting or arguing happening, we as parents are sometimes walking on eggshells waiting for the next fight to erupt. In managing your home and trying to keep a peaceful and loving environment it is best to foster a home of non-competitiveness.

We live in a culture where everything is a competition, whether it be sports, reality shows, the playground at recess, clothes that are worn or the latest hairstyle. Competition is EVERYWHERE! Creating a home that is competition-free relieves the pressure of each child having to be the best, #1 or the winner, and the tension between siblings becomes minimized. For example, for a season our family has currently put aside board and card games, which is something we all love to do, because the competition fed the sibling rivalry monster and never ended with all of us walking away feeling good. Instead we focus on other activities that are inclusive of everyone and our time together is full of laughter and fun with zero competition.

CLASH of the

SIBLINGS WHEN FIGHTING OR ARGUING DOES OCCUR TAKE THE ROLE OF COACH VERSUS REFEREE. Unless anyone is getting physically harmed I would suggest that for the most part you sit on the sidelines and let it play out. This will equip your children with conflict management skills needed for life and it will also work yourself out of the job of always being the middle man in their rivalry. Once the conflict has resolved, sometimes it may be appropriate to help both children involved (separately if necessary) by looking back at the game highlights as the coach. Offer advice as to how each of them could have done things in a more kind, courteous and respectful manner. Teach your children to keep their cool when a fight happens and that nothing productive happens when either of them get heated. In fact, clinically speaking, when your blood pressure reaches a certain level the ability to listen, think and reason is impaired.

There is nothing more exhausting than managing sibling rivalry in your home!

TEACH YOUR CHILDREN THAT

WHEN ARGUMENTS GET HEATED

NO AMOUNT OF SCREAMING AND

YELLING IS GOING TO HELP. THEY WON’T BE ABLE TO “HEAR”

EACH OTHER NO MATTER HOW LOUD

THEY ARE.


Furthermore, relaxing in our expectation of what we think the sibling relationship should be may help reduce the stress between them. Siblings do not need to be best buds and this type of utopian thinking may add pressure to their relationship. Have a baseline expectation of kindness, courtesy and respect, and if anything above that naturally flourishes — then great!

Teach siblings that they can either be right or happy but they can’t always be both. Sometimes it is best just to walk away in order to keep peace and in the long run be happy, but not right. If you argue all day long what have you achieved but unhappiness? Or, if you would have walked away, diffused and then practiced the conflict resolution skills, peace might have been more likely achieved.

EITHER TOGETHER OR SEPARATELY BEGIN TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN GOOD CONFLICT RESOLUTION SKILLS:

• CALM DOWN AND BREATHE SO YOU CAN THINK CLEARLY.

• LISTEN TO WHAT THE OTHER PERSON IS SAYING WITHOUT INTERRUPTING OR DEFENDING.

• SUMMARIZE BACK WHAT THE OTHER PERSON IS SAYING TO SHOW THAT YOU HEARD THE OTHER SIBLING.

• ENCOURAGE THEM TO USE “I FEEL…” STATEMENTS INSTEAD OF “YOU DID…”

People should not ask you to keep a special secret that would be harmful to someone or hurt feelings. If they do, tell your

parents or teacher.

You can be assertive and

you have the right to say “No” to someone who tries to take you

somewhere against your will and without your parents’ knowledge,

touch you, or who makes you feel uncomfortable

in any way.

Many parents use a special code word that only the child knows to convey a message should someone other than a parent

ask a child to accompany them anywhere. Talk with your parents

and figure out a safety code to use.

[CODE[Have

When you yell, you take
