FUN GUIDE - SUMMER 2020
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.
2
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 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. Then it’s possible to go back to work or school feeling even more recharged. Get out of the house or office What’s the good of sunny skies and hot temperatures if you do not get to enjoy them? 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. Visit friends and family Now that schedules have loosened up, take the opportunity to increase time spent with friends or family members, whether they live close by or far away. Make it a point to reconnect with someone who has been out of touch.
Summer is a great time of year to take vacations and reconnect with nature and loved ones. While large gatherings might not be possible this year, families can still enjoy being outside together. STOCK PHOTO Fun in the Sun

Enhance staycations with
themed fun days
Superhero day Embrace your favorite superhero by dressing up in his or her colors, donning a superhero T-shirt or watching an actionpacked superhero movie. Pajama day This is a fun theme for rainy days when Mother Nature keeps you indoors. Stay in your pajamas all day and enjoy a cozy, lazy day. Alma mater day Parents and children can pull out their
trusted college T-shirts, sweatshirts or other school attire. Bake up some tasty treats in school colors and then find some old photos or look for highlights of your alma mater’s sports teams online.
Throwback day Take a step back in time by playing games or engaging in activities from your youth. Teach youngsters about the toys you enjoyed or watch movies from the era in which you grew up. Crazy hair day Embrace bed head, plug in the curling iron, double down on hair gel or pomade, or put those wacky coiffures into full effect. Cultural day Tap into your personal heritage by researching your family tree and then preparing a meal that coordinates with your heritage.
Push staycations to the next level with entertaining days based on certain themes. STOCK PHOTO Fun in the Sun

Staycations are an option for budgetconscious vacationers or people who simply do not want to travel too far from home due to mobility issues or other restrictions. Enhancing staycations with entertaining themes can improve the fun factor. While any themed day can be inspired by an active imagination, these ideas can get the creativity flowing.

Maximize time spent in the pool One of the advantages of having a pool right in the backyard is the convenience of being able to take a dip anytime you so desire. Spending time in the pool is a great way to kick off summer vacations – especially if that vacation is a staycation. The pool also is a fun gathering place for casual barbecues or hangouts with friends. The Association of Pool and Spa Professionals says there are 10.4 million residential swimming pools in the United States. The Pool and Spa Marketing group has found that the number of pool permits issued in 2018 in Canada (the most recent year for data) was the third highest in the last 14 years, indicating a booming pool market that continues to show promise, especially considering that the data does not reflect many of the rural areas that do not require building permits for pool construction. With hazy summer days on the horizon, it’s time to dive into ways to maximize pool-time fun.

Stock up on toys
Those who are installing a new pool should spend time in their yards looking at the landscape, how the sun travels overhead and any obstructions that can get in the way of the pool. Then the pool can be properly located for ideal results.
Select upgrades
Certain upgrades can be added when pools are being built; otherwise, aftermarket additions can enhance the pool experience. Zero entry effects can reduce the number of steps or ladders needed, while a water shelf, also known as a Baja bench, enables swimmers to play or cool off without being completely immersed in water. Diving boards or water slides can complete the package and provide some extra thrills.
Anything from aqua volleyball nets to climbing walls to floating golf games and even inflatable hamster balls that float on water can amp up the fun factor.
Lather up the SPF
Pool time can be cut short if people are not diligent when applying sunscreen. Follow package directions regarding application, being sure to reapply regularly. Even waterproof products will need to be reapplied frequently.
Offer a shady escape
Like a sunburn, heat exhaustion can compromise a fun day in the pool. Provide a shady respite, particularly one stocked with refreshing drinks like water or lemonade. (METRO CREATIVE)

Casting about AREA ANGLERS FIND SOLACE ON THE WATER by Jason Arndt
FUN GUIDE - SUMMER 2020

am Veith, with a rod and reel in his hands, finds fishing as a form of therapy and a way to explore nature. Veith, of Salem, discovers his tranquil moments mostly on the waters of Geneva and Delavan lakes. “Whenever life gets tough, just being on the water and getting outdoors is my kind of therapy,” said Veith. “It is important for me to get out enjoy nature. Being on the water is just my favorite thing.” Veith has also ventured out on Eagle Lake in Racine County along with many lakes in Kenosha County, including Silver and Paddock lakes. Additionally, when visiting his inlaws in Illinois, he typically jumps aboard a boat on the Chain O’Lakes. “I don’t really discriminate, I will fish up in Eagle Lake in Racine County once in awhile, I will fish in Twin Lakes,” he said. “If there is a good opportunity to get out for an hour or two, I just stay really close to home like Silver Lake or Paddock Lake.”
Promoting social distancing Veith said he has remained within a half hour of his residence because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has prompted health officials to urge people to maintain social distancing. The Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, a national nonprofit organization with a mission to increase participation in fishing, indicates fishing is an ideal activity because 6-foot social distancing guidelines is already happening. Stephanie Vatalaro, senior vice president for marketing and communications of the foundation, outlined many reasons fishing is a natural fit for social distancing to the Associated Press. “You don’t want to be close,” Vatalaro said. “You’re going to tangle your lines, get your equipment mixed up. Fishing is a sport that lends itself to social distancing for sure.” The Associated Press says the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation’s website, takemefishing.org,
has seen a 15% increase in traffic over the past month. Its website offers an interactive map showing the status, and any restrictions, in every state during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We absolutely believe fishing, if you can do it right now, it’s great for mental health, stress relief, connecting with your family, creating memories, but health and safety is No. 1,” Vatalaro said. “One of the messages we’ll hold onto is maybe find a place you haven’t been to before, maybe close to home so you’re not in the public.” For Veith, using lakes closer to his home brings benefits such as learning new features of each body of water, while staying safe. “Right now, with corona, it is just kind of crazy so I am trying to stay within a half hour from my house,” he said. “I am not trying to go too far. It is usually an opportunity to learn these local lakes a little bit better.”
Paul Vollmer, 36, a lifelong Mukwonago resident, has been fishing at nearby waterways since he was a child. He, like Veith, finds fishing relaxing and often visits the Fox River and Tichigan Lake. “I enjoy fishing the Fox River and Tichigan Lake because of the multiple species of fish in the lake and it is a great hatchery for fish,” he said, noting he also uses Pewaukee Lake for muskies and big bass. While Vollmer describes himself as a recreational fisherman, he has participated in some area tournaments, primarily focusing on musky and bass. “It is relaxing and a fun sport,” Vollmer said. Vollmer concurred with Vatalaro’s statement about fishing as an activity promoting social distancing. “I have not made any changes with what’s going on because I always fish out of my boat,” he said.
Helping others Fishing typically allows experienced anglers an opportunity to help others learn the sport, according to Veith. Veith encourages newcomers to ask for help because he and others are always willing to offer suggestions. “You just have to start asking people around what the basics are. Don’t be afraid to ask for a little help,” he said. “When somebody is just getting into the sport, it is a great thing for all us to try to help someone catch a fish and see them

enjoy the excitement. A lot of times for me, it is better seeing other people catch a fish than me catching a fish myself.” Veith, 35, a commercial insurance broker, recently decided to share his passion for fishing through a relatively new program called “Fun Fishing Guide Service.” The fishing guide service, he said, primarily looks to serve veterans and donate fishing trips to help charities with fundraising. “It is just a part-time thing for me. It is not something I am trying to make a ton of money on. It is just something I am doing
to give back to veterans,” he said. “I donate some trips to charities to help them raise money.” While the service is not listed as a nonprofit organization, at least not yet, Veith said it has worked to support many other charities. The charities, according to its website, include the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation, Northern Illinois Police K-9 Memorial as well as Walleyes Unlimited USA. “Anything I can do to help,” said Veith, indicating he has seen veterans experience joy during his trips. “They had such a great time, so that is one of my main focuses, taking veterans out,” he said. “My goal is just to get vets out and donate some trips for charity.” People can visit his website for more information at www.funfishin.org.
Opening day for Wisconsin fishing was on May 2, which according to the state Department of Natural Resources, is the traditional start of the season. “Hook and line fishing for many fish species on many Wisconsin waters begins on that day,” the DNR states. “However, to better manage Wisconsin fisheries, season dates are often specific to the species of fish as well as the water body.” For the latest guidelines, including how to obtain a fishing license, visit the Department of Natural Resources website at www.dnr.wi.gov.

Enjoy safe bike rides this summer
8
Riding a bicycle is not only a great way to help the planet by reducing vehicle emissions, but it’s also an ideal physical activity. According to Harvard University, biking at a moderate speed of 12 to 13.9 miles per hour will cause a 155-pound person to burn 298 calories in 30 minutes. At a faster rate of 14 to 15.9 miles per hour, a person of the same weight will burn 372 calories. People can ride bikes at any time of year, but cycling is most popular when temperatures are moderate and precipitation is low. Bike riding has always been in fashion, but it experienced a boost in popularity when people were asked to remain socially distant for COVID-19. Walks and bike rides at a safe distance from others became popular and accessible ways to get fresh air and exercise.
Anyone who rides a bike needs to take certain precautions. Cyclists often share the roads with large and powerful cars and trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration warns there were 857 cyclists killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2018. Safety is a two-way street, requiring diligence by drivers and bike riders. Here are a few safety tips for cyclists: • Bike riders should be dressed in bright clothing so they can be seen. A well-fitting bicycle helmet is a must, and should be worn every time a bike is ridden; • Equip your bike with a horn, bell and bright headlight; • Cyclists should ride in the same direction as traffic on the far right-hand side; • Ride a bike that fits you well. If the
bike is too big, it can be difficult to control; • Carry items in a backpack or strapped to the back of the bike so belongings do not become obstacles; • Drivers should remain alert of cyclists sharing the road and give wide clearance when possible; • Vehicle drivers should look in their side mirrors and around them before opening car doors so they do not accidentally knock a cyclist passing by off the bike; • Safe Kids suggest using hand signals to alert others to your plans. Cyclists can extend the left arm out for a left turn; make a 90-degree angle with the left arm to indicate a right turn. Putting the left arm down with the palm facing backward indicates stopping or slowing.
Cycling safety is important as temperatures rise and more cyclists are on the road. STOCK PHOTO Fun in the Sun

∆ WHITE RIVER STATE TRAIL
A 12-mile crushed limestone trail, it
follows a former railroad bed and connects the City of Elkhorn to Burlington, also passing through the historic villages of Lyons and Springfield in the process. The western end of trail is at Highway H south of the Interstate 43 and US Highway 12 interchange in Elkhorn. The Burlington trailhead is on Spring Valley Road about a mile south of Highway 36.
∆ SEVEN WATERS TRAIL
Another trail of this kind, the Seven Waters Trail, took several shorter trails and consolidated them under one name once they formed a continuous route. This trail runs from Riverside Park in Burlington up through Waterford, the Town of Norway, into Wind Lake and further on into Muskego.
∆ MOUNTAIN BIKE MECCA
Riders seeking mountain biking opportunities, also have an extensive system of trails available to them in our area of the state. The John Muir trail system connecting the John Muir trail with the Emma Carlin trail is one of the region’s top mountain biking destinations. Both located in the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest in Walworth County.
∆ THE OPEN ROAD
With so many trail-riding options in our immediate area, many cyclists still enjoy riding on the road. The many outstanding rustic roads and scenic routes in our area lend themselves well to this endeavor.
FUN GUIDE - SUMMER 2020
Perhaps the best way to leave behind the lingering effects of the coronavirus shutdown is to hop upon a bike and pedal until those days cooped up at home are a distant memory. With some of the best bike trails in the state and plenty of little-traveled rustic and rural roads, the Southern Lakes area provides the perfect landscape for your pedaling pleasure. Summer is for biking, and this year – more that ever – that’s cause to celebrate from the saddle of your favorite road, trail or hybrid bicycle. Here’s a brief look at some of the local opportunities:

How to be safe in the sun A relaxing day outdoors soaking up some of the sun’s rays is how many people prefer to spend their free time when the weather allows. While the very vision of a warm summer afternoon spent outdoors can invoke positive feelings, it’s important that people take protective measures before going outside and continue to do so while they’re out there. According to the American Cancer Society, most skin cancers are the result of exposure to ultraviolet rays in sunlight. UV rays are a type of radiation that do not have enough energy to penetrate deeply into the body. As a result, they primarily affect the skin. Overexposure to these rays can lead to skin cancer.
Right timing
Go out during the right time of day. The ACS notes that UV rays are at their strongest in the middle of the day between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so staying inside during these hours can protect your skin. This is especially important in the spring and summer, as the ACS says UV rays are stronger
during these seasons than other times of year.
Protection from UV rays
The ACS notes that there are no safe UV rays, so it’s imperative that people take UV protection seriously. The following are some of the many ways to protect yourself while still enjoying sunny days outdoors.
Check the shadows
Employ the shadow test when going outside. It may not seem especially scientific, but the shadow test is a simple way for anyone to gauge how strong UV rays from the sun are at any given moment. According to the ACS, if your shadow is shorter than you, that means the sun’s rays are at their strongest. This simple test can help people immediately determine how strong the sun’s rays are, compelling them to be extra cautious if necessary.
Use sunscreen
Apply sunscreen early and reapply often. The ACS recommends using sunscreens with broad spectrum protection

that protect the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, and applying them before leaving the house and reapplying often while outdoors. When choosing a sunscreen, choose one with a minimum sun protection factor, or SPF, of 30. Understanding SPF can help people recognize the importance of reapplication. When an SPF 30 product is applied correctly, a person gets the equivalent of one minute of UVB ray exposure for each 30 minutes he or she spends in the sun. So one hour in the sun wearing SPF 30 sunscreen is the same as spending two minutes totally unprotected. Reapplying SPF 30 sunscreen often can ensure you are protected at all times.
Wear a hat
Hats with a brim that is at least two to three inches all around protects vulnerable areas such as the eyes, forehead, nose, ears, and scalp. Choose a hat with a dark, non-reflective underside, as such a hat can lower the amount of UV rays that reach the face from reflective surfaces such as water. (METRO CREATIVE)

Tips for family camping trips For nature lovers, perhaps nothing is more enjoyable than packing up the camping gear, traveling to a favorite campsite and getting away from it all while sleeping under the stars. Such an experience can be transformative, turning first-time campers into lifelong enthusiasts. The opportunity to turn youngsters into nature enthusiasts who can’t wait to spend time outside may be one reason why so many families go camping. A 2018 report Kampgrounds of America found that 52 percent of campers have children, making camping among the most popular and family-friendly ways to enjoy the great outdoors.

Getting started Make a trial run in the backyard. A night camping in the backyard won’t be exactly the same as a night in the woods, where wildlife, and particularly insects, may be less welcoming hosts. But a backyard camping night can acclimate children to their
sleeping bags and their tents. A fun night sleeping under the stars in the backyard also may make kids more enthusiastic about an upcoming camping trip in the woods.
staying together in the woods, and teach youngsters how to identify potentially harmful plants like poison ivy, making sure they know to avoid coming into contact with these and other poisonous plants. Contact your local parks department, or the campground where you will be staying, for some additional advice on camping safety. Involve the kiddos Let kids help when choosing camping equipment. Youngsters may be more excited about camping if they’re allowed to choose certain equipment, including their sleeping bags and tents. Before visiting your nearby camping retailer, explain to kids that tents come in various styles because they’re designed to protect campers from certain elements that may be more common in certain areas than others. Such an explanation can make it easy to explain to youngsters why you’re purchasing certain items, even if those items
weren’t kids’ top choices. Food prep Plan the family menu in advance. Plan the menu in advance so you can ensure everyone will continue to eat healthy. But make sure to include a few kid-friendly camping classics, like s’mores, in the meal plan as well. First aid Prepare a camping-friendly first-aid kit. Bandages and topical antibiotic creams are part and parcel of any first-aid kit, regardless of where you’re going. But the elements pose a different set of challenges that require a more extensive firstaid kit. When designing a first-aid kit for your camping trip, be sure to include all the usual items but also overthe-counter medications that can treat pain, allergies, constipation, and diarrhea. An extra gallon or two of water also makes for a wise addition to campers’ first-aid kits. (METRO CREATIVE)

Fun rainy day tips for families
Get messy
Just because you’re indoors, doesn’t mean there isn’t an opportunity for kids to satisfy their primal urge to get their hands dirty. Not only do kids love playing with sensory textures such as paints, slime, sand, play dirt and foam, doing so helps improve fine motor skills. The good news? Many such items are now designed to reduce messiness, stickiness and clean up hassles.
Play games
Break out some classic board games
like checkers and dominoes or grab a deck of cards for a round of crazy eights. Such games teach the importance of taking turns and good sportsmanship and can even help kids learn to strategize and plan ahead.
Get dramatic
For an afternoon of open-ended playtime, encourage kids to develop their emotional, creative and communication skills by developing their own skit or play. With so many dress-up kits available, it’s easy to maintain a well-stocked costume trunk that kids can use to get inspired. You can also gather up some of their favorite toys to use as props and help bring stories to life.
Build together
Whether your child prefers following step-by-step instructions or using their imagination, designing, creating and playing with construction toys can build problem-solving, spatial and fine motor skills.
Design an obstacle course
Rain or no rain, kids have energy to burn. Building a safe obstacle course for kids to complete is a fun way for them to
stay active indoors while building core muscles and developing balance. Pick three to five exercises, like pretending to jump like a frog, army crawling under the table or log rolling from one side of the living room to another and then doing five sit-ups. Practice it for 5-10 minutes, then get to work designing a new one!
Create a mini lab
Play with Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) toys and games. Use a science kit to erupt a volcano or code a robot to guard the bedroom. These important educational experiences can be fun supplements to classroom learning that help set your child up for future success.
Make cleanup fun
It may not sound like “play” at first glance, but cleanup can be fun with the right attitude. Crank up favorite tunes and have kids dance as they dust, straighten, put toys away, make the bed and help with chores. Or, make a game of it, racing each other to complete tasks. For more play tips and inspiration, visit www.thegeniusofplay.org.
FUN GUIDE - SUMMER 2020
On rainy days, it can be tempting to hand children devices and let them fall down a YouTube rabbit hole. After all, there can be a lot of hours to fill when the weather isn’t cooperating with your weekend plans. There are better ways to spend those rainy days. With a little creativity, rainy days can be opportunities for fun and educational play. Consider these great ideas from The Genius of Play, an initiative with a mission of raising awareness about the importance of play in order to help parents make it a critical part of raising kids.
