SUMMER

vacation

Summer can fly by. Because summer can sometimes seem to come and go in a flash, it’s important for everyone to make the most of this relaxing time of year. Vacations from work and school are great ways to make summer memories, and the following are some ways to get even more out of these relaxing breaks from the norm.

Disconnect for a few days

Truly disconnect from electronic devices for a period of time to give yourself a mental break. Stop answering work emails, avoid social media and turn off reminders of things that do not need your attention

• Vacation

(Continued from page 3)

while you are on vacation or taking a break.

Book a trip It’s not the destination but the opportunity to step away from the norm that can help make a person feel like he or she has truly gotten a break. Get away from your surroundings, if only for a weekend. Nearby resorts and water parks are great for short jaunts with the kids.

Take a week off just to relax Sometimes a person needs to recharge after going on vacation, as planning a trip and then the trip itself can require a lot of work. Staycations or devoting another week to just lounging around or catching up on tasks around the house can ease pressure.

Get out of the house or office Make it a point to spend time outdoors every day. Go for a midday walk, sit in the park after work lets out or throw the ball around with the kids in the backyard. Sunlight can be great for the mind and body. Doctors with the Heliotherapy, Light, and Skin Research Center at Boston University Medical Center say sunlight triggers the release of serotonin and other hormones associated with a good mood. Increased exposure to sunlight also can regulate circadian rhythms for better sleep. Sunlight can trigger the release of nitric oxide into blood vessels, helping to lower blood pressure.

Explore summer programs Adults and children can try new skills and explore different talents this summer. Sign up for a camp or a class that runs several weeks. This will help stimulate the mind. (METRO CREATIVE)

oing for a bike ride is one of the best ways for people to exercise in fresh air. Cycling is not only earthconscious and convenient, but it also is a fun and popular activity that anyone can enjoy.

BUGLINE TRAIL

The Bugline Bike Trail owes its existence to the quarries near Lannon. Trains once hauled famed Lannon Stone from the deep limestone pits which still operate today. A look down into the quarries from the trail is an impressive sight. At the west end of the trail is the tiny Village of Merton. The old mill there still operates, and the adjacent mill house is an architectural gem. For more information call 262-548-7801.

and safe transportation choice throughout Wisconsin.” The Alliance for Biking and Walking discovered that 0.6 percent of all commuters in the United States biked to work in 2013, up from 0.5 percent in 2009 and 0.4 percent in 2005. But many people are embracing cycling as an entertaining form of recreation that the entire family can enjoy. Adults may have fond memories of their own cycling adventures as children that they want to pass down to their kids. Since families may feature cyclists with various levels of experience, it can be safe to employ certain strategies in the hopes that everyone gets the most out of their time in the cycling saddle.

Buy the right bikes Take time to research different brands of bicycles and what they offer. Some bikes are ideal for streets or paved trails, while others are better for rustic roads and trails. A qualified bike retailer can help shoppers find the right bike for them and their families, ensuring everyone in the family is riding the right size bike and the one commensurate with their skill level.

Limit the distance Children won’t be able to put in as many miles as their parents or older siblings. Limit cycling excursions to a reasonable amount of time so youngsters’ health is not compromised.

Focus on fun Consider what kids will get out of the trip and gear the afternoon around that. Choose a path that leads riders to a playground or one that circles a scenic lake. Make your cycling excursion more of an afternoon out than a marathon biking session.

Take frequent breaks Little legs may not be able to keep up, and adults will need to anticipate stopping along the way.

Know the terrain Stick to routes you have ridden before. Leave the more intense courses that include

extreme climbs and dips for those times when kids are not in tow. Stick to lightly trafficked routes, or travel during off-peak hours. Consult with trail guides and read reviews as well.

Check bikes before departing Make sure tires are inflated and everything else is in working order. Bring a small tool kit along in case a repair needs to be made. Bikemunk, a website dedicated to helping people understand bikes, especially in the context of making a purchase, has more information at www.bikemunk.com. (METRO CREATIVE)

The East Troy Cycling Classic begins at 11:35 a.m. with nearly nine hours of high-energy professional cycling around the East Troy Village Square and nearby streets. “ToAD has differentiated itself by evolving into a communitywide festival that happens to have cycling throughout the day,” said Vanessa Lenz, Executive Director of the East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the event. “East Troy is day two on the 11-day race series and our schedule represents everything our local community has to offer.” Spectators may watch the cyclists whiz by once every three minutes from anywhere on the racecourse, which will feature plenty of food, drink and entertainment. Admission is free. “We are planning to add to the action with live music, food trucks and vendors, an ESPN radio broadcast, cabana parties and

East Troy’s fifth annual Slow Ride Bike Race will feature riders competing to be the slowest without stopping. Last place comes in first. The winner gets $100 and there will also be a prize for best costume. “The Tour de Square Kids Fun Races have been a favorite with nearly 200 children competing like the pros as they pedal their bikes fast and furiously toward the finish line,” Lenz said. East Troy is only one of three hosts on the ToAD 2019 series to host handcycling – a form of adaptive cycling that enables athletes of all abilities to ride a “bike” exclusively using the upper body. “It’s been praised for providing a newfound resilience and autonomy for these cyclists,” Lenz said.

The East Troy Area Chamber of Commerce serves as the local host, with funding for the balance of the fees donated by other local and regional sponsors. ToAD 2019, which marks its 11th year, runs Thursday, June 20 through Sunday, June 30 and features criteriumstyle races daily in different Wisconsin communities. ToAD has become one of the most popular bike race series in the sport

earning an outstanding reputation for delivering a world-class race experience for both participants and spectators. In 2018, 1,009 unique riders from more than 42 states and 13 countries participated in ToAD with an average of 495 racing daily. Overall an estimated 100,000 spectators attended races and other special race-day events in host communities. “The East Troy Cycling Classic is a great time to celebrate the first day of summer and East Troy. It not only brings with it some of the top racers from around the world, as well as competitions for locals, but also puts the spotlight on our community, its residents and our businesses,” said Lenz.

STAY COOL!

3 ways to beat the summer heat

If you love summer and sunshine, you may be looking for ways to beat the heat that don’t necessarily involve escaping indoors to air conditioning. Here are four ways to make the most of the summer season while staying cool and comfortable:

HOMEMADE POPSICLES

Get the entire family involved in making homemade popsicles. Consider pineapple chunks, coconut shavings, berries, lime juice, kiwi, yogurt and other fresh flavors for a delicious, nutrient-packed way to cool down.

GET ON THE WATER

Keep cool with outdoor water activities. Whether you’re doing something active like kayaking and swimming or just lazing on the river for a day of tubing, be sure you have the right tools on-hand, like the WSD-F30 Pro Trek Smart Outdoor Watch, which is water-resistant up to 50 meters and includes apps for activities like swimming and surfing.

DRESS RIGHT

The fabrics and colors of your summer wardrobe can make a big difference in the way you feel. Stick to light, loose garments or tech fabrics specifically designed to wick moisture. Some clothing even now comes with SPF for extra sun protection, which could be important if you exercise outdoors or are otherwise spending lots of time in direct (STATEPOINT) sunlight.

CAMPING

Comedian Jim Gaffigan often jokes that camping is a tradition in his wife’s family, but he’s what people would consider “indoorsy.” Gaffigan notes that the idea of burning a couple of vacation days sleeping on the ground outside isn’t his idea of fun. But the comic may be in the minority. Camping is one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in North America. The statistics resource Statistica says the revenue of campgrounds and RV parks was estimated at $5.8 billion in 2015. More than $2.5 billion was relegated to camping equipment spending. Camping takes many forms. Some purists equate camping to minimalist survival – eking out an existence for a

few days with nothing more than a tent, a single roll of toilet paper and a fishing pole. Others enjoy the creature comforts of home and would readily consider camping something done from their climate controlled RV. Camping ranges between sleeping under the open stars and glamping – a style of camping with amenities and potentially resort-style services. No matter how one defines camping, information is the key to becoming the proverbial “happy camper.” The following list is a general starting off point for planning a camping adventure.

(Continued from page 11)

Not all campsites are equal When choosing a campsite, seek an area that offers the amenities you desire. Popular places like lakeside spots or those close to trails tend to book up early. Also, consider proximity to bathrooms, showers and ingress/egress spots. People who desire solitude will pick different campsites than those who want to be near the family action.

Choose a tent for the weather Supplies will differ depending on the temperatures when you plan to camp. Select a tent with a sun-protection sealant to prolong its longevity. Opt for a location with partial afternoon shade to keep the campsite and tent cool. Face the tent door

Bring along low-salt, high-protein snacks

If this is your first time camping, schedule the night out to coincide with a full moon. There will be extra light at night to chase away any fears and make navigating a bit easier.

Low-salt, high-protein snacks will keep you fueled for day trips along the trails without making you thirsty. Dried berries and high-fiber trail mixes also can keep energy levels up.

Invest in an insulating pad

A good insulating pad will keep you comfortable when sleeping on the ground. Such a pad also will serve as an extra

Be an early bird To see wildlife, hit the trails as early as possible. Early morning hours also are cooler for working. Remember that camping involves getting in touch with nature. Leave the campsite how you found it, taking trash along with you. (METRO CREATIVE)

AROUND the CAMPFIRE

Take precautions with the fire pit for a safe and enjoyable experience

Who doesn’t look forward to sitting around a crackling campfire in the evening with family or friends? Such an experience attracts people to try camping, ultimately converting many of them into lifelong camping enthusiasts. Campfires serve various purposes, from heating up simple foods to keeping wildlife at bay. Campfires also light up camps where people dine and sleep while providing much-needed warmth. Campers must always exercise caution with their campfires. The University of Vermont Medical Center says 80 percent of pediatric campfire burns resulted from dayold campfires. The National Interagency Fire Center advises that, in 2017, 88 percent of wildfires were caused by humans. When building campfires, the following precautionary measures can ensure a safe time is had by all.

LEARN IF IT’S SAFE

Campground and other areas will post if the conditions are safe for a fire. Heed all signs and do not ignite a campfire if posted warnings say it is too dry and unsafe to do so.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT LOCATION

PREPARE YOUR SITE

Dig a small pit in which the fire can be housed, offers Smokey Bear. Place a ring of stones around the pit.

ADD FUEL ONLY AS NEEDED

Keep the fire at a manageable size and height. Do not let it grow just to impress fellow campers, as it can spread and become a problem.

BEWARE OF THE ‘DUFF’

The rangers at Modoc National Forest in California say duff is a layer

of decomposing wood material that lies between pine needles and dirt on the forest floor. It is highly flammable, and some mistake it for dirt. Be aware of duff near the campsite and extinguish any embers promptly.

MAINTAIN A CLOSE WATCH

Make sure at least one person is always tending to the campfire.

KEEP KIDS AND PETS AWAY

Set a proper distance for pets and young children who may not understand the

dangers of fire.

EXTINGUISH THE FIRE PROPERLY

Keep a shovel and water nearby to drown the fire and embers. Mix the ashes and water again to catch anything that may be smoldering. Continue adding water, dirt or sand and stirring with a shovel until all material is cool. Never leave a former campfire hot. Check a decent perimeter around the campfire to ensure that no stray embers escaped. (METRO CREATIVE)

SUMMER FUN GUIDE • 2019

Look around and up to make sure that the fire will be in a safe location away from low-hanging branches or brush. Keep a radius of at least eight to 10 feet around the fire clear of tents, food, chairs, and other items, states the health and fitness resource Active.

Environmental benefits According to the Center for Urban Education about Sustainable Agriculture, food in the United States travels an average of 1,500 miles to get to consumers’ plates. Such journeys burn natural resources, pollute the air and produce sizable amounts of trash that ultimately ends up in landfills and/or the world’s oceans. Because food sold at farmers markets is locally sourced, considerably fewer natural resources are

necessary to transport the food from farm to table, and the relatively short distances the food travels translates to less air pollution.

Hormone-free animal products Farmers markets do not exclusively sell fruits and vegetables. Many farmers markets also are great places to find meats, cheeses and eggs. Animal products sold at farmers markets are typically antibioticand hormone-free, which is both more humane to the animals and healthier. (METRO CREATIVE)

Summer reunites golfers with their favored pastime The Southern Lakes area has a wide selection of golf courses from accessible courses for the less experienced to highend tournament-caliber courses that will challenge any golfer. Here’s a closer look at some of the courses in the area:

HAWK’S VIEW

Hawk’s View opened in 2001 as a 36-hole golf course on land that has had an interesting history. From a farm and storage for ice harvested from Geneva Lake in the 1920s, to Mt Fuji ski hill and a summer concert venue that brought in a variety of popular entertainers in the 1960s, to today becoming one of the premier golf courses in the Lake Geneva area. The courses were designed by Craig Schreiner, a noted golf course architect from Kansas City. Como Crossing opened in 2001 after 2 years of work. It was followed by Barn Hollow, which made its debut in 2003. Hawk’s View consists of two 18hole courses to meet the needs of every golfer. The Como Crossing and Barn Hollow courses offer a different golfing experience based on the golfer’s ability. Como Crossing is an 18-hole, par 72, 7,074-yard championship caliber layout that has been chosen as Wisconsin’s best in 2015 and Lake Geneva’s best in 2015 and 2016. The most unique feature of the course is the dramatic change in elevation, a result of keeping the contours of the ski hills that laced the property. Hole No. 3 starts at the top of what was a part of the major ski hill and plays downhill all the way. Other holes are also incorporated in the hilly terrain. The course offers pristine playing conditions. Barn Hollow received its name from the barn on the property that predates the golf course. Barn Hollow is an 18hole, par-3, 2,708-yard course that is known as a family-friendly course. It is a perfect course for beginners and families yet everyone from beginners

Ideas for family Family game nights can be a great way for families to disconnect from their devices and spend quality time together. Much in the way that family dinners can facilitate conversation and closeness, game nights can spark companionship and hours of fun. Game nights are easy to organize and are particularly handy on those nights when there’s not much to do or when the weather makes outside activities implausible. To get started, use these game ideas as a catalyst for fun.

GAME NIGHT Families can engage and converse over entertaining games that bridge generations. STOCK PHOTO Summer’s Here

STICK TO THE CLASSICS

Certain games remain tried and true family favorites. These include Monopoly, Trouble, Risk, Clue, and Scrabble. Adults who had a favorite game growing can play it with their own children and see who outsmarts who.

TEACH them to FISH Fishing is a family friendly activity that youngsters can enjoy from the moment they first pick up a rod.

Fishing provides a great way for parents to bond with their children in the great outdoors. The value of first impressions has been well-documented, and parents who want their kids to inherit a love of fishing can take the following factors into consideration so their youngsters’ first fishing trips are successful.

STARTING SIMPLE

Any fisherman would love to snag a trophy fish such as a largemouth bass on his or her first trip. And while that’s possible, it’s unlikely, especially for youngsters. Such fish tend to be difficult to catch, even for seasoned fishermen. When taking kids fishing for the first time, fish for something that’s somewhat simple to catch and capable of being caught throughout the day. If you aren’t familiar with your local

rivers or lakes, visit a local outdoors store and ask for advice about which local bodies of water are home to fish that kids might be able to snag. Though it’s not imperative that kids catch a fish on their first trip, doing so might make them more enthusiastic about their next trip.

LOCAL PROGRAMS

Fishing need not be an expensive hobby, but the costs can add up. Parents who are not sure if their kids will embrace fishing should look into local programs. Many towns, especially those with reputations for fishing, host free family fishing events. These events give parents an opportunity to see if their kids enjoy fishing before they start buying them gear.

HAVING FUN

Don’t make the day all about catching

fish, as even the most seasoned fishermen have their off days when nothing is biting. If the focus is on catching fish, kids might grow discouraged and not want to come back if they don’t catch anything on their first trip. Focus on the fun everyone is having rather than the fish they are (or aren’t) catching. Some youngsters might just be thrilled to spend a day out on the water with their parents. Encourage that enthusiasm and kids are more likely to remember their first fishing trips fondly.

BREAK TIME

Kids might not have a full day of fishing in them on their first trip. Frequent breaks to explore nearby nature, enjoy a snack or even toss a ball around can keep children from growing bored throughout the day. (METRO CREATIVE)

How to make the most of kids’ first angling experience

Fun ways to keep kids’ minds active in summer A vacation from school is no excuse for a vacation from thinking. Not only can learning be made fun, but you can avoid a rusty return to school in the fall by keeping kids’ minds active all summer long.

With so many ways to make learning fun, you can avoid brain drain in your household this summer for a smoother transition back to school in the fall.

Make the most of a trip

Whether you are going on a beach getaway or visiting a major city, ask your kids to research the destination before departure. Not only will this help add meaning to the trip, it’s a fun way for kids to stay intellectually occupied. Then, once you are there, look for educational opportunities like museums, historic sites and guided nature walks.

OLESYA SHELOMOVA/ STOCK.ADOBE.COM Summer’s Here

Learn an instrument

The summer vacation is the perfect time to delve into the world of music. For example, the CT-X700, a portable keyboard with features that are tailored to casual or beginning players, comes with hundreds of built-in rhythms that span both time and the globe. The Step-Up Lesson system, which displays proper fingering and notation, is a great way to easily learn songs, while its six-track recorder can quickly capture sudden inspiration.

Play

Whether kids are playing a formal team sport or just going outside and running around, staying active is good for the brain. Indeed, evidence supports that exercise can make people more creative, improve concentration and boost memory.

A day spent on a boat is a great way to enjoy a warm afternoon. And the options are endless when it comes to how to spend such days on the water.

BOAT

STOCK PHOTO Summer’s Here

Few things can be as enjoyable on a warm day as spending some time on a boat. For many people, the sound of the water lapping beneath a boat and the feeling of a warm summer breeze blowing through their hair is the very essence of summer relaxation. Boating appeals to people with varying interests, and there are many ways one can enjoy a day spent traversing a nearby river, lake or ocean.

Fishing

Recreational fishing is wildly popular. According to the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation, in 2016 more than 47 million Americans participated in fishing at least once during the calendar year. In its Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada, the organization Fisheries and Oceans Canada found that more than 3.2 million adult anglers actively participated in a variety of recreational fishing activities in Canada in 2015. The sheer volume of people who enjoy recreational fishing suggests it’s an activity that has widespread appeal and it can benefit people of all ages and skill levels. What’s more, fishing provides a wonderful excuse to spend a day on a boat.

Sailing

Sailing is a rewarding and demanding hobby. Avid sailors often describe the origins of their love of sailing as “catching the bug.” Indeed, few hobbies can be as gratifying as sailing, which the organization Discover Boating notes requires participants to be more active than almost any other type of boating. While sailing can be physically demanding, when the waters are calm, few activities can be as peaceful and relaxing.

Exploring

Of course, even people who do not own their own boats can still enjoy time on the water. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation notes that roughly 90 percent of U.S. residents live within one hour of navigable bodies of water. Many waterfront communities, particularly those with tourism-based economies, are home to small businesses that provide local river and lake tours. These can be great ways to learn about local history and/or see local marine life. (METRO CREATIVE)

LAZY DAYS of summer

Many relaxing activities can tame stress; these activities can be perfect for lazy summer days.

Stress is a part of many people’s daily lives. A recent survey from the American Psychological Association found that 44 percent of Americans feel their stress levels have increased over the past five years. Children also are struggling, with almost a one-third reporting that they have experienced a health symptom associated with stress, such as stomach aches, trouble sleeping and headaches. Calming activities that can tone down the body’s stress responses are great ways to alleviate stress. Summertime is an ideal time of the year to embrace relaxing activities because the hustle and bustle of everyday life tends to slow down during the summer, when kids are out of school and vacations are on the docket. These hobbies and other interests can help tame stress by promoting calm:

GET MUSICAL

Music can be energizing or calming, depending on which music you choose. Researchers at Stanford University found that rhythmic music may have therapeutic effects for treating a range of neurological conditions, as it stimulates the brain and can perhaps change how it functions. Familiar melodies and gentle music can reduce the level of the stress hormone cortisol.

GARDENING

Gardening lets a person tend to living things while getting some fresh air. Both the sunlight and the activity itself can be soothing and have a positive effect on mood. A study from the Journal of Health Psychology found that gardening, like listening to music, lowers cortisol levels.

for Every Occasion...

GRAB A GOOD BOOK

Taking the time to unwind and read can help ease tension in the muscles, lower one’s heart rate and induce calm. Research from the consultancy Mindlab International at the University of Sussex found reading reduced stress levels by 68 percent.

Engaging in a creative hobby sharpens the mind and improves focus. You may also want to try focusing emotions onto the canvas to help release tension. A 2014 study published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy found that 81.5 percent of respondents with depression reported feeling happy after knitting.

PRINCESS for a DAY

By Tracy Ouellette EDITOR

Playing dress up is something most little girls (and some big ones) love to do and Burlington’s Beth Dudzinski opened a party venue in spring to offer a special place for area princess wannabes to indulge in a day of pampering and fun. My Sweet Loretta’s on Chestnut Street in Burlington opened its doors in mid-April and offers Princess Parties and more to girls of all ages. “It’s just something I’ve been wanting to do for years,” Dudzinski said. “I had hip surgery last September and I didn’t want to go back to work, not that this isn’t work, but I wanted to follow my dream.” Dudzinski, 56, said she left her job as a food service director to follow that dream. “I was in food service my whole life and I loved it, but I was on my feet all day and I wanted to do something for me,” she said. After the decision was made, Dudzinski

said it didn’t take long to set up the party venue. “I had such a vision in my head it probably only took about five weeks to get this going” she said. “I shopped Facebook Marketplace, resale shops, Amazon, antique stores and Hobby Lobby for weeks. It was a lot of fun.” Dudzinski named the new venture after her mother, Loretta, who died last year. “It’s just one more way to remember her,” she said. With the help of her 22-year-old daughter, Hannah, and other family members and close friends, Dudzinski set up the space in early spring and has begun booking parties. “It takes time, but I feel very confident in this,” she said. “It’s really fun and it’s really pretty and I think once I get going it will go really well.” All parties at My Sweet Loretta’s, including Spa Parties, Princess Parties,

Me and My Dolly Tea Party and Stampin’ Up Parties, are 1-1/2 to 2 hours long and include cookies or cupcakes, Pink Lemonade “Tea Party” and a photo session from the shabby chic decorated studio. All guests go home with a 4-by-7-inch photo. “We can upgrade with pizza or finger sandwiches to add a meal, too,” Dudzinski said. A standard party is eight girls and costs $300. The party includes a light makeup session, tea party with pink lemonade and cupcakes or cookies, and a manicure and pedicure. “The manis and pedis are not done by professionals, they’re just a buff and polish,” Dudzinski clarified. The parties can be upgraded to 12 girls at an additional cost of $20 per girl after the first eight. “I just did a Me and My Dolly party

See PRINCESS, Page 26

My Sweet Loretta’s can accommodate parties for up to 12 girls at its Burlington location. The tea party includes cupcakes and pink lemonade.

and that went well,” Dudzinski said. “I’m planning on having some type of event once a month too, to just get people in to see what we’re all about.” Parties have to be scheduled in advance. “I can’t do walk-ins,” Dudzinski said. “If I had four to five girls walk in at the same time, I’d be scrambling and I don’t want to scramble because they wouldn’t get the full experience.” Other future plans Dudzinski has on the books include Stamp and Sip parties and hosting parties for seniors. “It’s very, very welcoming and calming in here,” she said. “I would love to offer senior women a chance to relax, come in for lunch, be pampered and have time to share and talk. I think it would be a hoot.” Dudzinski added she wants to give back to the community as much as possible with the new establishment and it is one of the reasons she opened shop. “I want to host fundraisers for the schools and get involved in the community,” she said. “I have time for that now that the kids are older and don’t need me as much. It’s time for me to give back.” My Sweet Loretta’s is also able to host small showers and parties. My Sweet Loretta’s is at 140 W. Chestnut St., Burlington.

Pool safety starts with prevention Pools make some backyards the places to be in late spring and throughout summer. Lazy summer afternoons are a lot more enjoyable when they’re spent in or alongside a pool, and kids tend to say “I’m bored” with considerably less frequency when a pool is within arm’s reach. Pools are certainly fun, but they’re only as fun as they are safe. According to the USA Swimming Foundation, between

Memorial Day and Labor Day in 2018, at least 148 children younger than age 15 fatally drowned in swimming pools or spas. While those figures represented a 9 percent decline from the year prior, 148 deaths is still 148 lives lost too early. Pool safety need not come at the expense of summer fun. In fact, homeowners can employ various preventive measures to reduce the risk of pool-related accidents on their properties. • Inspect gates around your pool. The International Code Council, a member-focused association dedicated to the construction of safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient structures, advises homeowners to inspect all pedestrian gates in the barrier fences around their pools. Such gates should be self-closing and self-latching, as both features ensure gates are always closed. In addition, the ICC recommends padlocking other gates around the property.

• Remove objects around pedestrian gates. Kids can climb up on chairs, tables, large toys, and other objects left around pool gates to gain access to pools even when their parents aren’t looking or even home. Such items should be removed. • Install a pool alarm. Pool alarms can alert homeowners to accidental or unauthorized entrance into the water. The ICC recommends installing such alarms while noting that they should not be considered a substitute for barrier fences or safety covers. • Install automatic or manually operated pool covers. Pool covers can effectively prevent access to pools, spas or hot tubs. At the end of each pool session, cover the pool, even during the height of summer when pools are used daily. The minor task of covering the pool is worth the considerably lower risk of accident or injury if pools remain uncovered. (METRO CREATIVE)

PROTECT your SKIN

SUMMER FUN GUIDE • 2019

Tips to guard against bites and burns this summer

For families – and everybody else for that matter – protecting skin should be a top summer priority. After all, there is no shortage of summer skin woes you’ll want to avoid. From protecting skin from sun to repelling disease-carrying insects, here are some top insights that will help you and your family enjoy a safer, more comfortable summer.

Sunscreen – get it right

When it comes to sunscreen, it’s important to understand and follow sun safety guidelines. Fewer than half of moms (48 percent) knew the correct amount of sunscreen to apply to the face and body while

at the pool, lake or beach, according to a NO-AD Sun Care-commissioned survey on sunscreen. The correct amount of sunscreen to be applied – or reapplied – is at least 2 tablespoons. More alarming still, the majority of those surveyed (54 percent) believe the proper time to apply sunscreen is as soon as they start feeling their skin burning. Experts say that parents should apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to themselves and children 15 to 20 minutes before going out in the sun in order to give it time to bond to skin, and then reapply at least every two hours or after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating and immediately after towel drying. Beyond application, the type of sunscreen you use matters, too. Luckily, there are quality products at great value, which means you don’t need to skimp on the amount you apply or reapplication. Other safe sun habits include limiting

time in the sun, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m, and wearing long-sleeve shirts, pants, hats and sunglasses.

Bite-free summer

Summer days are full of outdoor fun in backyards, parks, baseball diamonds and more. And any time you and your kids are outdoors, you are at risk for insect bites. Unfortunately, a bite can carry risks beyond discomfort. Mosquitoes can carry Zika, West Nile, Dengue Fever and Chikungunya viruses. Consider streamlining skin protection with a two-in-one combination such as BullFrog Mosquito Coast SPF 50 Continuous Spray Sunscreen + Insect Repellent, which is DEET-free, Oxybenzoneand Octinoxate-free, and a good choice when you want to pack light. You can also dodge mosquito bites by wearing loose long sleeves and pants, particularly on hikes, and by keeping your yard free of standing water. (STATEPOINT)
