  • 15 Tips for Talking with Children About School Violence by Lydia Breiseth Manager, Colorín Colorado
    15 Tips for Talking with Children About School Violence By Lydia Breiseth Manager, Colorín Colorado As families and educators begin to respond to children’s questions about the school shooting in Connecticut, many adults have questions about how to help children cope with the tragedy. Some adults may wonder how much information children should be exposed to, or what to say to reassure their children about their safety. Others may look for ideas on what to say when children ask why this tragedy happened or how they can help people who have been affected. Organizations around the country are pulling together their resources to provide some guidance and many of these organizations are publishing materials in multiple languages. Here are some tips for getting started, as well as additional recommended resources. Note: Many of these suggestions originally appeared in Fred Rogers Talks About Tragic Events in the News (also available in Spanish). Talking with children about tragedy in the news • First, find out what your child or student knows about the event. Even if you haven’t yet discussed it together, the child may have heard the news from media sources or classmates. The child’s perception of what has happened may be very different from the reality. • Reassure the child that it’s ok to talk about sad or scary events. It’s also ok to admit to feeling sad, scared, or angry and to acknowledge that you are having those feelings too. In an interview with Good Morning America, expert Willow Bay advises, “Establish that there is no question too scary for your child to talk about.” Likewise, Mr.

  • Sugar Bay Willow Bay These Conservation Areas, Located Within
    Sugar Bay Willow Bay These Conservation Areas, located within the Allegheny Reservoir, support several nesting pairs of osprey (Pandion haliaetus), a state threatened species. The Allegheny Reservoir, also known as Kinzua Lake, is a 12,000-acre impoundment that spans the border between Pennsylvania and New York. In Pennsylvania, the reservoir is completely surrounded by the Allegheny National Forest; and in New York State by Allegany State Park and the Allegany Indian Reservation of the Seneca Nation. The landscape surrounding the reservoir is entirely forested. The osprey is a Neotropical migrant bird species with a range that is widespread and increasing. Its main breeding range extends from northern Canada south to the Great Lakes states and along Atlantic and Gulf Coasts to Florida. More scattered populations breed along inland rivers and lakes. The species is considered imperiled within the state, although its population may be increasing due in part to active management by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Habitat requirements for osprey vary between sites, but must include an adequate supply of accessible live fish within commuting distance of nest (10–20 km); shallow waters (0.5–2 meters deep) which generally provide the most accessible fish; and open nest sites free from predators (Poole et al. 2002). Reservoirs that provide ample expanses of shallow, clear water have ideal conditions for hunting. Like other fish-eating birds, osprey generally defend only nest sites, not feeding territories. Threats and Stresses Any factor that would decrease water quality of the lake would impact the nesting ospreys. Non- point source pollution from agricultural development upslope from the lake and timber harvesting within forested areas along the lake are the greatest threats to water quality.
