Seabreeze's NEW Kiddie City!

Seabreeze is a long standing favorite family at-traction that many locals visit each summer. The “Wave Swinger” and “Balloon Race” are the two newest rides that visitors can ride this season. Another exciting addition for 2014 is the redesigned and enhanced Kiddie City, the park area designated for smaller riders. Fresh color schemes, new landscaping and lighting provides additional seating area for visitors and a new look to this area. The popular T-Bird car ride has been rebuilt and themed to reflect the winding roads and scenic backdrop of the Route 66 while half-pint skippers can steer their own freshly painted boats around the newly installed lighthouse. In addition, the Flying Turtles and Jets have also been spruced up. Although you may have visited Seabreeze before, what you may not know about Seabreeze is that it has been in operation for 135 years. Opened in 1879, it is recognized as the 4th oldest amusement park in the U.S. and the 12th oldest in the world. To add to it’s historic background, the Jack Rabbit which began operating in 1920, is the oldest continuously operated roller coaster in the U.S. Seabreeze also is the largest seasonal employer in Rochester and employs over 800 people during the summer. As a family owned business, involvement in the Rochester community and associations is extremely important. So next time you visit and (if you do have a chance to sit down and relax), look around. You will be surrounded by a piece of history. School is out. Summer is here! Pack up the fam-ily and come experience the Wave Swinger, Balloon Race, Kiddie City, Waterpark and much more! Unlimited ride and slide passes and season passes are available along with discounts that can be found online.

Can you lose weight by walking 2,000 more steps a day? Really? The thought of 2,000 steps may seem intimidating at first, but let’s con-sider how lifestyles can be classified in terms of steps-per day. Sedentary people generally move approximately 2,000-3,000 steps a day. How far is 2,000 steps? It is about a mile. For the purpose of this article, I am not referring to walking a mile all at one time, but steps ac-cumulated throughout the day.

5,000 steps a day is considered the minimal amount necessary for an active lifestyle, but is still considered a “low active” lifestyle. The ideal number of steps daily to promote health and fitness is 6,000. Studies have shown that moving 6,000 steps a day promotes health & significantly reduces health risks; and 8 -10,000

steps a day promotes an active lifestyle and with a balanced diet will promote weight loss. Just think: tak-ing 10,000 steps a day is equal to walking approximately five miles!

Wearing a pedometer is a great way to monitor your daily steps and can add some fun for those who like to challenge themselves. By wearing a pedometer, you can check in throughout the day and motivate yourself to add extra steps whenever possible. Common ways to add an additional mile or two a day in-clude: 1.) Parking further from the door of your destination (work, grocery store, etc.), 2.) Taking the stairs rather than the elevator, 3.) Pace around as you talk on the telephone, and 4.) Marching-in-place for one minute a few times throughout the day. For those of you that work in an office setting, try taking a short walk on your lunch break or take a longer walk to the copier or restroom.

How Active Are You?1) >5,000 steps/day = “Sedentary Lifestyle”2) 5,000+ steps/day = “Low Active.”3) 7,500+ steps/day = “Moderately Active” (and/or a job that requires more walking)4) 10,000+ steps/day = “Active Lifestyle”5) Individuals who take 12,500+ steps/day are classified as “Highly Active”

AN INEXPENSIVE WAY TO MONITOR FITNESS!Where to purchase a pedometer: You can find valid & reliable pedometers at a sporting goods store, or even at department stores. Pedometers are relatively inexpensive with an average cost of $20. You do “get what you pay for” so try to avoid the lower-end units that may run $5 – $10 less, but lack quality technology and are therefore less accurate.

10,000 Steps a Day

By: Jay Shiner

July 2014 9

As I was planning a trip for a friend who was making their first visit to Walt Disney World this summer, I realized that there is a lot of information to help one plan a trip. A LOT of information. I also realized that, while I wish this friend could have all the benefits of my years of reading guidebooks and dozens of Disney trips, that,

too, is A LOT of information. Too much information. It’s all so overwhelming!

I decided that for a typical first-timer, I needed to remember to keep it simple. Can I narrow it down to just a few things that will save them time and money? I decided that a simple timeline could cut all the clutter and get down to what’s most important.

180+ days out – Set up an account on My Disney Experi-ence. It’s free and it’s easy. Once the account is set up, go to the My Family and Friends page and “Add a Guest” to add people who are traveling with you.

180 days out – Make dining reservations for table service restaurants. Log into My Disney Experience. Hover your mouse over Things to Do in the top menu and click on Make Reserva-tions under dining. Enter the info on the next screen and a list of available restaurants will come up. You can see the location of the restaurant right on that screen and click on the restaurant’s name for more info. Find the one you want, enter the info on the following screens, and click on Reserve. If you are staying at a Walt Disney World resort, you can make reservations for your entire trip 180 days out from your check in (up to 10 days meaning you could be making reservations for 185 days out or even 189 days). This is advantageous if you’re trying to get reservations for popular restaurants like Be Our Guest and Cinderella’s Royal Table. If you’re staying at a non-Disney hotel, you can only make reservations 180 days out from the day you wish to dine. Your reservations will now show up under My Reservations and Tickets in My Disney Experience. Important Note – For busier seasons like summer and around the holidays, these reservations are important unless you plan to eat at counter service (cafeteria or fast food type restaurants where they don’t take reservations) the entire trip.

90+ days out – Purchase your tickets if you haven’t done so already. Shop around, http://www.disneyworld.com doesn’t always have the cheapest prices, but be careful that you are purchasing from a reputable location. I usually check http://www.undercov-ertourist.com, http://www.officialticketcenter.com, and AAA offices. Once you have your tickets, log in to My Disney Experience and click on My Reservations and Tickets. Click on the Link Tickets button and follow the instructions. If your tickets were part of a Walt Disney World vacation package, it is possible that they are already linked.

60 days out – For those staying on Walt Disney World property, start making your FastPass+ selections. This will give you an hour window to visit an attraction without having to wait in the long standby line. Log in to My Disney Experience. Hover over My Disney Experience in the top menu and click on FastPass+. Follow the prompts on the following screens. Don’t worry if the op-


Have Kids

Will Travel

tions for times aren’t exactly to your liking. Once your FastPass+ reservations are made, you can go back in and edit the times and/or attractions as long as they are available. Generally, it’s best to use FastPass+ for the attractions that have the longest wait times. These attractions may include (this list not necessarily all-inclusive): Magic Kingdom – Meet Anna & Elsa, Meet Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan’s Flight, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train; Epcot – Soarin’ and Test Track; Hollywood Studios – Toy Story Midway Mania, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Star Tours; and Animal Kingdom – Kilimanjaro Safaris, Dinosaur, and Expedition Everest. As you get closer to your trip, FastPass+ reservations will also become available for the parades and night-time shows. These also can be popular. Important Note – The FastPass+ system sometimes does not work exactly as it should. Once you have FastPass+ times, print them out or take a screen shot or photo of them and bring it with you so that if for some reason your bands/tickets are not working properly, you can show the cast member at the ride entrance that you do indeed have a reservation. As of this writing, they will override the sys-tem and allow you in the Fastpass+ line with that “evidence.”

31+ days out – For those staying on Disney property, be sure to customize your Magic Bands. Log in to My Disney Experience, hover over My Disney Experience and click on Magic Bands and Cards. You may need to confirm your shipping address first, but you’ll be taken to a screen where you can customize your Magic Bands. For those staying off property, unfortunately, you can only purchase Magic Bands in the parks and they will link them to your tickets so that you can use them for park entry and Fastpass+, but in reality your tickets work just as well.

30 days out – For those staying off property, it’s now your turn to make FastPass+ reservations. Simply follow the same instruc-tions as on-property guests did at 60 days out.

2-3 weeks out – For on-property guests, watch for your Magical Express documents if you booked Magical Express. Check out Walt Disney World’s website for details. Remember that it can take a few hours to receive your luggage so be sure not to pack anything you need upon arrival, including your Magic Bands, in your checked luggage.

Did I leaving anything out? Unfortunately, yes; however, this timeline is enough to save you some time and money without having to spend hours researching or planning for your trip. If you’d like more information, www.disneyworld.com has lots of information on everything you can do/see/experience and Birnbaum’s Official Guide to Walt Disney World is a good start if you’re looking for a guidebook. My two favorite “unofficial” websites for research are http://www.allears.net, where you’ll find everything from dining menus to reviews from other guests, and http://www.touringplans.com, where you’ll find anticipated crowd levels and touring plans to save time. Of course, there’s more than that out there as I’m sure you’ve found if you’ve even just done a simple Google search. Just remember… the most important thing to plan is having fun!!

Local Farmers' Market Guide

One of the challenges of to healthy eating is often how much it can cost. Look no further!....Farmers’ Markets are a great option for families and individuals looking to support local businesses and farmers while eating healthy and seasonal food. Here is a guide to the sea-sonal Farmers’ Markets located across Monroe County.

Don’t forget your reusable shopping bags to cut down on waste. Visiting the Farmers’ Markets is a family outing- this is a great way to introduce and educate children about seasonal vegetables and fruits. Many of the farmers and businesses give out free samples which kids (and adults) love too!

There’s a family birthday coming up and you’re scan-ning the horizon to find the perfect venue. Will it be a fast food joint with video games and burgers and fries, or will it be the local pizza shop with the six foot tall mouse who goes around hugging all the guests? Your palms are getting sweaty. Maybe Junior doesn’t need to invite quite so many friends because this is going to be expensive.

Stop and take a deep breath. I’ll tell you a secret - Young children don’t really care about having birthday parties that cost a lot of money. Maybe your child has attended one of those expensive bashes with catered food, rent-ed facilities, hired entertainment (Coco the Clown or Mr. Magic) or giant bouncy houses. Maybe you’ve felt you just can’t measure up to events spending hundreds of dollars to ensure your child a memorable birthday. But here are the components of a successful birthday party and believe it or not, they don’t have to break the bank to be successful.

AKTHE BANK

BIRTHDAY PARTIES THAT DON'T BRE

1) Invitations: There are fancy engraved invitations or store-bought ones. Adults may admire their color and style, but the child invited is just excited to be going to a party. Instead of buying invitations, why not get your birthday boy or girl involved in the invitation process and allow him to write the party information on a nice piece of colored paper? Or how about using copies of a digital photo of your child and letting her add the information to that? Simple, personal and engaging. Either hand out the homemade invitations personally or put them in the mail. All you’ve spent is the cost of a stamp.

2) Fun: Why not plan this year’s party around a theme? It should be something currently “cool” in your child’s life. A movie theme, a cartoon, pirates, princesses, Winnie the Pooh characters, Spider Man, or something in the natu-ral realm, such as favorite animals or flowers. Follow the theme throughout all the hand-crafted decorations, ban-ners, streamers, hand decorated paper tablecloths, etc. If you do plan gardening as a theme, plan a craft in which each child decorates a pot and then plants a flower or seed. Plant grass seed in a cup with a face on it—Voile! Hair in ten days! If you do choose pirates as your theme, make the prizes those nifty gold-covered chocolate coins. Plan a scav-enger hunt with clues and the coins as the treasure. A homemade piñata is a lot of fun. A large paper bag painted or decorated with markers and filled with candies works just fine. The things you can’t make or have the children make might be ordered from a catalog company such as Oriental Trading Company. Or make a visit to the local dollar store. Kids want games, crafts, songs, and hands-on activities. They don’t want to sit back and be entertained.

3) Food: After the kids have played games, won priz-es, done crafts, and used up a lot of energy, they’re ready for food. They don’t care if the plates and cups are deco-rated or not; they just want cake and ice cream. The cake can be homemade as well, as long as there is plenty of it. Here again, your child can be involved in the creation of the food items. He can add frosting and jelly beans to the tops of the cupcakes. She can help mix up the punch. It’s

be successful”


a special family day, not a “keeping up with the Joneses” kind of day.

4) Favors: After the birthday boy or girl has opened presents, it’s time for guests to go home. Children always enjoy having a small favor to take with them to remember their exciting day. Simple party favors can be inexpensive stickers, small toys matching the theme, or a printed col-oring page matching the theme to color at home. If you’ve had a craft as part of the fun, then each child will have that to take home. Whatever you choose can be very simple and not costly. It’s a memento, not a gift.

As you plan your next birthday party, keep in mind that fun for children is all about the energy. The most elabo-rate party site and most expensive decorations are lost on children if there is no enthusiasm for the event. Get the children involved, make it the most special day for your family by working together to invite, decorate, and plan fun activities. Keep a few surprises up your sleeve. They might come in the form of scavenger hunts, piñatas, or other games and activities that will delight all the attend-ees, including the birthday child. Whatever you do, don’t fall into the trap of overspending when it comes to party planning. Follow the interests of your child, keep it simple but fun. Include all the basics and you’ll have a terrific par-ty on a budget that won’t break the bank.

5 great reasons to play soccer

It’s about the playersOnce the game starts it is the play-

ers who will decide and dictate what happens. As much as the spectators on the sidelines will cheer and offer

advice, it is the players who will deter-mine which passes and which shots to

take. Without timeouts or breaks between each play, the players have the opportunity to problem solve

and find solutions to problems that arise on the field.

Life lessonsSoccer and sports in general give

kids the ability to learn life les-sons that transcend the soccer field. Not every player on your

team will be your best friend, but you still must work together to

achieve a common goal. You might not even like your coach, but you can still learn the proper

respect for authority. Teamwork, unity, encour-agement, winning/losing, accountability, etc. are

all things that can be learned through soccer.

The 2014 World Cup has started and early signs have shown that the United States does care about soccer. This year’s World Cup viewer ratings are up 23% compared to 2010. The U.S. team’s first game of the World Cup versus Ghana was the most watched men’s soccer game ever on ESPN or ESPN2. So, as a soccer fan, it’s great to see so many people taking interest in the “beautiful” game.

To the few people who still might be on the fence about soccer, I’ll give you my short list as to why soccer is a great game and why it’s great for children of all ages to play. I am a new father and my daughter will play soccer, at some point, for some period of time. It’s not because I’m forcing her to become the next Abby Wambach, but because I strongly believe in the positive benefits of the sport. At some point if she doesn’t want to play, then so be it. (Easy to say right now). We will then find an activity that she is passionate about.

FEEL THE KICK: WHY SOCCER?

3Anytime, anywhere

This is a bit of a lost art with kids to-day, but I remember finding old shoes,

trashcans at the park, rocks, sticks, cones, anything that could be used as a goal and playing a pickup game with my friends. Soccer doesn’t require a

lot of equipment. Shoes? Optional. Soccer ball? Here in the US we say yes, but in other countries…optional.

If it’s round and rolls, then it will do. It doesn’t get much easier than that to play.

Physical benefitsThere’s no disputing

the benefits of ex-ercise for kids of all

ages. Soccer allows for both physical benefits as well as social and mental development. An overall

win, win.

Size doesn’t matterThe current FIFA wom-ens’ World Player of the Year and local legend,

Abby Wambach, is 5’11” (relatively shorter than

the average woman) while Lionel Messi, four-time FIFA

World Player of the Year, is 5’7” (rela-tively shorter than the average male).

Two players with different statures and skill sets, who both have clearly made

an impact on the game. There’s a place for everyone at the soccer table.

In this age of high tech toys and games many children have forgotten the joys of playing with found “junk”. Children the world over used to play with stones, dirt, plants, and any household items that were discarded. There is something to be said for the creativity nurtured when chil-dren use their imaginations to create something out of nothing. We’ve all witnessed toddlers who would rather play with the wrap and ribbon than with the toy inside. Likewise, older children can have just as much fun playing with found items or using their imagination as they can

with many pre-made plastic toys.

Cardboard boxes are the source of an infinite number of possibilities when it comes to creative play. Large ones can be used to create playhouses, forts, stores, schools and any other pretend building. Cut a few windows and a door and there you are, a place to play! Markers, pens, and crayons can add detail, but often just the fun of going inside and out again makes the experience real. Smaller boxes can be strung together to make trains, they can be stacked to create larger structures such as houses or stores and, again, children are delighted to play in them. Small boxes can be made into costumes, building blocks, pre-tend wagons, cars or boats: the ideas are endless.

A medium-sized cardboard box can be turned on its side and turned into a dollhouse with rooms, stairs, furniture and people. Hours and hours of creative play will occur as the need for each table, bed, chair and carpet spurs children on to create with their own hands.

Let me offer a word of caution as children begin to create with cardboard boxes. At the beginning of the project when cuts need to be made, parental supervision or help may be needed. If the cardboard can’t be cut with regular scissors, then have an adult do the heavier cutting with a box cutter or similar tool. After that turn the kids loose to paint, color, glue and decorate to their heart’s delight. Keep your eyes open for friends or neighbors who are purchasing appliances as that is a prime source of large boxes. Sometimes retail stores will allow you to carry away boxes they no longer need. It usually isn’t necessary to purchase boxes, but if you want to, moving and storage businesses have them to sell.

Help your children turn on those creative juices. Gather some cardboard boxes and some art supplies and let the fun begin. You’ll love the creative results.

An easy & economical way to spruce up clear, plastic storage units and customize them to match your desk and rooms!

What you’ll need:

Plastic storage unit (I like the smaller ones to store hair accessories and small toy parts in my daughter’s room)

Glue dots (at Michael’s or any craft store) - these make the project mess free!

Scrapbook paper or any heavier stock paper. For larger units, better quality wrapping paper will work just as well (or if you have extra scraps from presents!)

Steps:

1. Remove drawer from unit and trace on the back of scrapbook paper the outline of the back of the drawer.

2. Using a razor blade or sharp scissors cut out and repeat for as many drawers as needed.

3. Using glue dots, outline the perimeter on the col-ored side of paper.

4. Insert and line up paper with front of drawer.

Viola! Now those clear plastic drawers hide any mess while adding a splash of color or patterns to your desk or room! The great part is, you can easily change the paper when you need to reuse it.

By now, many of you have been out riding your bicycle around the neighborhood or on main roads. If your life is like mine, finding time to enjoy a bike ride may be difficult, but my children have been out rid-ing since the snow melted. One of the most important concerns when children become old enough to ride their bikes is safety.

Teaching your children (and yourself) the impor-tance of wearing a helmet is often the first thing we think of when our kids are learning how to ride a bike.

According to New York State Vehicle & Traffic Law, as of June 1, 1994: 1) All bicyclists under the age of fourteen are required to wear approved bicycle hel-mets including any child that is riding as a passenger on a bike, for example in a child safety seat 2) Any child under the age of one is not allowed to ride on a bicycle. Bikes must have a brake which is capable of making the bike tires skid on dry level pavement.3) A bell, horn or other device that can be heard at least a hundred feet away is re-quired (Sirens and whistles are not permitted)4) Bicycles driven between a half-hour after sunset and a half-hour before sunrise must be equipped with a white front headlight visible in darkness for at least 500 feet, and a red or amber taillight visible for at least 300 feet.5) A bicycle, when purchased new and/or driven at night, must have reflective tires, or wide-angle, spoke-mounted reflectors. Reflectors must be colorless or amber for front wheels, and colorless or red for rear wheels.

Finding a helmet that fitsWhen purchasing a helmet for yourself or your child, the fit is most important. The hel-

Bike Safety For Kids...and Adults!By: Hilary Hagen


met should fit and sit at a level position and cover the forehead to approximately an inch above the eyebrows. Make sure the helmet will not slide from side to side or front to back. Straps should not be twisted or tied. Chin straps should fit snuggly around the neck area, allowing only enough room to fit a finger. It’s best practice not to buy used helmets to ensure that they are not cracked or damaged from previous falls.

Steps to safe biking- Children under parent supervision may use the sidewalk to bike. Generally, children under the age of 12 should ride on the sidewalk. Although biking on sidewalks is not per-mitted under New York State law, some towns and villages do allow bikes on sidewalks for all ages. Check with your local town to find out if yours is one. Locally, downtown Rochester does not allow bikers on sidewalks, however if you do need to be on a side-walk, walk your bike rather than ride it. - As a bicyclist, you are required to obey all traffic signs and red lights. Use of bicycles has increased within the Greater Rochester area and because of this, bike lanes are being added to many of the high traffic areas. If bike lanes are avail-able, USE THEM!- Make sure that you ride with the flow of traffic! A bike is considered a vehicle and must follow the pattern of traffic.Yield to traffic- Always look before turning. Even though you may have the right of way, other drivers may not see you and you can protect yourself by being alert and aware of your sur-roundings.

Biking is a great family activity and form of exercise for children and adults. Just re-member, safety first!

book a party

It used to be that children’s literature was all about fiction. We started early readers out with nursery rhymes, moved on to fairy tales and folk tales, then picture books and finally on to the very prestigious chapter books. There wasn’t a non-fiction book in sight. Then educators began to realize that much, if not most of adult reading, is about real things. We have to read street signs and contracts, fill out job applications and follow directions to assemble our new play structures. Teachers began to ask school librarians to order books about animals, machines, space and how car engines work. Publishers got on board and began to print good non-fiction books about everything real in the world. And biographies and autobiographies were written on thousands of interesting and important people from all around the world. Finally, there began to be a balance for children in their reading choices. They developed a taste for both fiction and non-fiction. And, as a bonus, struggling read-ers, especially boys, began reading for pleasure.

Once non-fiction books became readily available, then reading strategies for non-fiction material had to be taught. In a fiction story the words just keep coming. But in non-fiction it’s important to know about illustrations, captions, headings, indexes, maps, blow-ups of pictures, labels and much more. There is an art to reading non-fiction. It’s a doorway into the real world.

Biographies meld the best of narrative writing and non-fiction with all of its intricacies. A good biography telling the life story of a human being is full of drama. Its merits often lie in real-life triumphs over poverty or the hardships and dangers of war, in hard decisions that made all the difference, or the courage to face adversity. Real-life dramas are at the heart of a well-written biography.

(Some girls do too!)

BOYS LOVE BIOGRAPHIES By: Jan Pierce


In addition to the interest of a real-life story, when children read a biography they’re learning about positive character traits they may incorporate into their own lives one day. They’re getting a sense of history and timelines. They’re beginning to understand what the world was like in a given place at a given time. They’ll learn that life is not static, that the world is ever-changing. Biographies are wonderful for developing the skills of reading comprehension. The story is motivating—the reader wants to understand and stays engaged. He wants to know what happens next in the character’s life and she wants to understand why the main character lived in a particular way.

Another plus in choosing to read biographies is the broad array of choices. Select from the lives of kings and queens, explor-ers, scientists, great artists, sports figures, Native American chiefs--the list goes on and on. There are biographical series written about both historical and contemporary figures. Name any topic you can imagine and there is a leading figure whose life story will influence readers.

Biographies lend themselves to publication in sets or series. Thus you will find such offerings as the Young Patriot Series in American History, or the Blue Banner Biography Series by Anne Graham Gaines on current world figures. Certain authors such as David Adler are well-known for their biographies written for children. The Lifetime Series by Thameside Press in the UK has a wonderful series of world figures such as Nelson Mandela and Anne Frank. Heinemann has published a series on famous artists with titles such as The Life and Work of Mary Cassatt, and Rourke has a series called People Who Made a Difference. Other series tell the life stories of authors, scientists, astronauts, poets and playwrights and virtually any group of people in which your child may develop an interest.

One way to whet your child’s appetite for biographies is to track their current interests or their current courses of study and then supply just the right title for the time. If they’re learning to use the microscope in Biology class, they may be interested in the life of Van Loewenhook or Madame Curie. If they’re studying India in geography they may be interested in reading about Mother Teresa and her work with the poor and dying of Calcutta. If they take a fancy to the American Civil War, then a biography of one of the leading generals is the right choice.

No need for history to be a dull course filled with endless memorization of dates and places. Bring the character and his or her life to life with a biography written at the appropriate reading level for your child. Look at these biography series to search for the perfect title for your young reader or browse your local library or bookstore for the right book. (cont. on next page)
