Beach Tips for the Family(NC) Heading to the beach with your family? Make the most of your timein the sun with these tips from Banana Boat sun care and partner, derma-tologist Dr. Julia Carroll:

• Keep them busy – Beach tick-tack-toe, scavenger hunts and sand castlecontests are great activities for all ages. Winner gets to skip out on dishduty for a week! Just remember to pack hats and lightweight shirts for thattime out of the water.

• Keep them hydrated – Avoid any nasty after effects of the sun by pack-ing healthy, hydrating snacks like watermelon, oranges, celery sticks andcucumber to keep your family refreshed. Freeze juice boxes to keep foodscold until lunch time and provide a slushy afternoon treat.

• Keep them shaded – As many beaches lack natural shade, make sureyou bring yours with you. This means hats and sunglasses for the entirefamily and a nice big beach umbrella to rest under when the sun gets toohot.

• Keep them protected – An absolutemust for a day in the sun is sunscreen. Forthose sandy days at the beach, try the newBanana Boat SunComfort SunscreenSpray. It's the only sunscreen that lets youspray, play in the sand and then easilybrush the sand off your sunscreen-coveredskin.

For the best protection, put sunscreen on before heading out into the sun,and reapply it at least every two hours. If you are swimming, towel-dryingand sweating, you will need to apply sunscreen more often. Even if it's acloudy day at the beach, remember that you still need to protect your fam-ily's skin from the sun.

Blue skies and warm weather entice people toenjoy the great outdoors. For many people, fewthings are more enjoyable than soaking up somerays and breathing in some fresh air.Moderate temperatures help make many outdooractivities that much more enjoyable. But even ifthe weather isn't perfect, individuals can make thebest of the situation and still get out of the house.As the seasons of warm weather return, thoseitching to get outside can explore these entertain-ing outdoor activities.

HikingThousands of miles of hiking trails crisscrossNorth America. These trails include rough andrugged paths blazed across natural areas andlong-distance trails that stretch over portions ofthe country. From the Appalachian Trail in the Eastto the Bigfoot Trail in the west, hikers and natureenthusiasts have plenty of trails to tread.Hiking is a great outdoor activity in part becauseit can be enjoyed by people of any age and justabout any fitness level. Hikers can work up fromrelatively short and flat trails to more intense ver-tical and varied hikes. Local parks, governmentpreserves and rural areas offer plenty of places towalk and hike.When hiking, it's best to go in pairs. In the eventanything occurs, such as an injury, the other hikerwill be able to go for help. Hikers also should alertpeople at home as to their itineraries. Leave a mapand plot out where you will be, especially if hikestake you off the beaten path. Remember to packa portable snack and plenty of water. And whenout in the sun, apply sunscreen and reapply asneeded.

BikingBiking is another outdoor activity ideal for peopleof all ages and athletic abilities. Once you'velearned to ride a bicycle, that ability stays with you,whether you ride a bike each day or haven't takenone for a spin in years.Many towns and cities across the country havebecome much more bike-friendly in recent years,clearing space for biking paths and lanes even inthe busiest metropolitan areas. And mountain bik-ers still have plenty of trails to traverse as well.Check that your bike is in good working order andthat the chain is freshly oiled. Take your bike to alocal cycling shop for a tuneup if necessary. Verifythe fit of helmets, especially on children who mayhave grown since the most recent cycling season.

Horseback RidingNature takes on an entirely different look whenyou are atop a horse. Horseback riding isn't justfor country folk or cowboys, and it can be a greatworkout as well as a recreational retreat. It takesbalance, strong legs and quick reflexes to stay ina saddle.Those interested in horseback riding should visita stable or riding academy nearby. You likely do

not need to own a horse of your own, as ridingschools and stables will have animals you canwork with.Remember to wear the right clothing, includinglong pants and boots, for riding. A hat can shadeyou from the overhead sun, while a helmet is ad-viseable for people new to the sport or those whowant added protection.

Always arrive early so that you can familiarizeyourself with your horse and have him or her get

to know you. Approach the horse from the frontleft side. Horses are prey animals and can be skit-tish by nature, so a firm, calm greeting can reas-sure the animal.These are just a few of the many outdoor activitiespeople can enjoy when the weather warms up. Trytaking exercise routines outdoors, such as runningon a path instead of the treadmill. Swimming,walking, gardening, and sports activities are otherfun ways to enjoy the great outdoors. TF154107

(NC) The benefit of physical activity to children is undeniable. From im-proved health and wellbeing to increased focus in school, sport has thepower to change lives. Yet one in three Canadian families can't afford toenroll their children in organized sport. The importance of sport goes be-yond the obvious physical gains. Organized sport helps Canadian youthbecome more independent while developing key life skills such as leader-ship, discipline, and confidence.

Giving every Canadian childthe opportunity to participate insport is important to the devel-opment of our future genera-tion. That's why Canadian TireJumpstart Charities and its1,900 Community Partnersacross Canada are helping toclose this gap. This year Jump-

start celebrates its 10th anniversary of providing kids from financially dis-advantaged families the opportunity to get involved in an organized sportor physical activity of their choice by covering costs associated with regis-tration, equipment and transportation.

The charity continues to grow – last year Jumpstart gave 190,000 kids theopportunity to play and this fall, will reach its one millionth child helped.

That's one million kidsspanning virtually everycommunity across Canadawho have been given thechance to develop the con-fidence, discipline, leader-ship and teamwork skills that come with participation in organized sport,and Jumpstart intends to keep the momentum going.

“Providing one million kids with access to over 76 different sports over tenyears is an incredible milestone for Jumpstart and we do it because webelieve sport means something to a child's development,” says LandonFrench, Executive Director, Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities. “We believethat every kid deserves an equal opportunity to play, learn and grow, andwe're looking forward to helping a million more kids in the years to come.”

This June, you can help kids in your community get in the game by sup-porting Jumpstart's Red Ball campaign at any Canadian Tire store. A $2donation in exchange for your own Jumpstart Red Ball, will give the gift ofplay to a deserving kid. One hundred per cent of customer donations helpchildren in the local community. If you know a kid who wants to play but isunable to because of costs, call 1-844-YES-PLAY or visit jumpstart.cana-diantire.ca. www.newscanada.com

Healthy Children and Youth - Healthy Communities Working Together

Many of today's working professionals grew up in single-income householdswhere only one of their parents went to work each day. But that once-commondynamic is now largely a thing of the past, as economic necessity has drivenboth moms and dads to continue their careers even after they have had chil-dren.That reality has led many working parents to lean heavily on afterschool pro-grams to serve as safe havens that provide structure for their kids while momand dad are still at work. Choosing an after-school program is a decision manyparents find difficult, but there are some questions parents can ask during theirsearches for programs that should make those decisions easier.Can I tour and observe the facility?When considering a particular afterschool program for their children, parentsshould ask to tour the facility, paying specific attention to the areas of the facilitywhere their youngsters will spend the bulk of their time. Do the classrooms lookclean? Are the materials up-to-date? Isthe playground equipment safe and well-maintained? Well-maintained facilitieswith new supplies and equipment canmake the program more enjoyable andsafer for kids.Parents also should ask to spend sometime observing the facility when it isabuzz with activity. Such observation cangive parents an idea of what their kids'afternoons will be like should they enrollin the program. Stay out of the way, butwatch to see how engaged kids and staffmembers are and how conducive todoing homework the environment is.What is the program schedule?Schedule is a significant issue for work-ing parents, many of whom want a pro-gram that is open on holidays whenschools are closed. Flexibility also is aconcern for working parents, some ofwhom may need a facility that is openbefore school starts. Parents also maywant a facility that allows youngsters toattend just a few days a week, whichmight make certain programs that re-quire parents to commit to full weeksless enticing. When discussing the facil-ity schedule with staff members, be sureto get as specific a schedule as possible,inquiring about any additional costs as-sociated with extending the typicalschedule as well.What are the activities available to thekids?Many afterschool programs providemore than just a place for kids to sit anddo their homework until their folks cometo pick them up. Ask staff members atthe facility how big a role activities playin their programs. Many programs try tooffer an array of activities that range fromacademic programs to athletic eventsand more. A wide range of programs canincrease the chances that youngsterswill find activities that pique their interests

and make the afterschool program more enjoyable.How are staff members vetted?Parents also may want to ask about the program's hiring practices. Ask aboutthe background checks performed on staff members and if the facility requiresany specific certifications for staff who will be dealing directly with children.

When asking about hiring practices, parents also may want to inquire about theratio of staff members to children. The smaller the ratio, the more attention young-sters will receive. Facilities with an especially high ratio of staff to children maynot be able to provide the type of environment parents want for their children.

Finding an afterschool program requires parents to exercise their due diligence.Parents who can be patient and learn as much about facilities as possible aremore likely to find the right fit for their children. FP155115

Midland Meadows Golf Club is ownedand operated by Glen and SherryGray and is now entering itsfifteenth season which has seenmany improvements over the years.The most recent are the renova-tions of the clubhouse which nowincludes both mens and womenswashrooms, increased seating in

the lounge to accommodate a variety of functions aswell as a pro shop area dedicated to merchandise golf shirts, hats, gloves,jackets, golf balls and tees. One of the most requested services at MidlandMeadows over the past few years was the driving range, which after a 3year break is back better than ever. “We were fortunate to acquire somerange equipment and are very happy to have the driving range up and run-ning again”, says Glen “We receive calls every year from golfers inquiringabout the range, so now we can accommodate them again”.Midland Meadows has a very loyal group of members who support the club.“If there was an award for the golf club with the best members, we wouldwin hands down”, Gray comments and adds “We have a committed groupof member base that volunteers with course improvements on a regularbasis, which contributes to the success of the club”, not to mention keepingprices reasonable.This past season was the first full year with the signature island green second hole, and it was very well received. Many of the golfers describedit as a golfing hole you will “love to hate”. As frustrating as a hole it couldbe, golfers always feel the need to master the short par 3 which is surrounded by water, and keeps them coming back.The scenic 9 hole course with a challenging par 35 layout is located minutes from Norton and Hampton and only a short drive from the city.There have been may improvements to the course, and someone who has-n’t golfed here in a few years will be pleasantly surprised with the changesmade to date, especially the new walker friendly layout. Midland Meadowsoffers memberships and green fees, as well as Tournament bookings.Power carts are available and all ages and skill level are welcome duringthe golfing season. But golf doesn’t end at Midland Meadows until thesnow is here to stay well after most courses have closed for the season.The course has actually been opened on Christmas Day. The annual Remembrance Day Classic held every year on Nov. 11th has help raisemoney for the war amps. Midland Meadows Golf club is proud to host the"Canadian Snow Golf Championships", which take place during the middleof February each year.

Many people view swimming as a purely recreational activity, but thehealth benefits of swimming should not be overlooked.

Swimming is a great way to get fit, providing great cardiovascular exer-cise that's easy on the joints. Swimming engages a variety of musclegroups, making it a great way to get a complete workout. The followingare some additional benefits of including swimming as part of your exer-cise regimen.

· When swimming, muscles are worked hard, which can help buildstrength. Much of that work can be traced to the fact that water is farmore resistant than air, forcing a body in water to work harder to movethan it would if it were walking on solid ground.

· Water buoyancy can enable people to do exercises that would be jar-ring on land. In water, roughly 90 percent of the body is buoyant. Thatmeans working out in the water will put less strain on the knees and hipswhen it comes to performing high-impact jumping exercises.

· Swimming is a great cardiovascular workout. Swimming can elevate theheart rate to an optimal level and work the lungs, too. Pushing oneselfharder and harder can help to burn calories and lead to weight loss.

· Just about every muscle is used when a body is swimming. Swimmingtargets the shoulders, back, arms, legs, hips, and gluteals without requir-ing complicated workout equipment.

· Swimming may help improve coordination, balance and posture. Swim-ming also may promote greater flexibility by stretching the body throughfluid movements.

While swimming is often considered a relaxing activity tailor-made forwarm summer days, it also provides a complete and demanding workoutthat can benefit the body in a variety of ways. HW156271

In the early part of the growing season, while the grass is just starting togrow and green up again for another year, many lawn issues are more noticeable than at other times of the year. Such things as moss, bare spots,and yellow grass splotches are irritatingly evident and many homeownerswould prefer to deal with the issue now so they can enjoy a beautiful lawnall season long.

Moss: Moss is a common problem in lawn areas which experience excessive shade, but moss can occur just as easily in the middle of lawnsalso. Generally speaking, it enjoys the type of acidic, compacted, moistsoil that grass has a difficult time sustaining itself in and therefore it startstaking over the area. Moss is not really a "weed" and therefore does notrespond to traditional methods of weed control. However, since moss doesnot have much in the way of a root system, it is easily raked off the surfaceof the soil. In doing so, you will be left with bare soil spots that can be top-dressed and seeded. Take care to choose a seed that enjoys shade oryou will quickly run into the same difficulty of a non-flourishing grass thatagain gets taken over by moss! Approaches to avoid moss are to thin treesin the area causing shade, aerate the soil to reduce soil compaction, andlime the lawn annually to keep the pH of the soil more balanced.

Bare Spots: The reasons for the appearance of bare spots in lawnsare many and varied, but there are a few common threads that could leadto this issue. One is old lawn damage from insect activity that might bemany years old and if it was never reseeded, the old thatch has finally disappeared and left nothing but bare earth. Another reason could be thatthe bare spot(s) was once occupied by a dense weed or moss that suffocated the lawn in that area. Once the weed was killed off or removed,it left a blank spot where it once occupied space. The grass did not growin that area, but it was not as noticeable because the foliage of the weedwas green like the surrounding lawn. There may be other reasons thatcontribute to this phenomena of bare spots on lawns. However, it is rectifiable through either a topdressing and overseeding service or, in moreextensive cases, a tilling and lawn renovation service. It is wise to consulta landscape professional to get their experienced opinion on your issueand how to fix it.

Yellow Spots: The reasons for yellowing grass are probably even moreextensive than for bare spots on lawns. They can range from dog urineproblems to winterkill damage to subsurface insect activity. Dog urinespots, in theory, can be controlled by training your dog to do his/her business in a specific area off the lawn if at all possible. However, as weall know, some dogs listen better than others! If you know your dog haspee'd in a certain spot on your lawn, you can try to dilute the effects of the

urea by watering it thoroughly. Some practices also include mixing somesugar in the water before watering. The yellowing effect comes about essentially because of a nitrogen burn. If the burn was not too severe, thegrass in that spot might green up considerably instead of turning yellow. Ablotchy yellowish area that is larger than a dog urine spot might be winterkill especially in a winter that saw a lot of snow and/or ice buildup.More than likely those winterkill areas will be seen in parts of the lawn thatheld the snow/ice the longest into the spring. Sliceseeding or overseedingmay be needed to reintroduce grass in the damaged area. Finally, yellowishspots that have grown in size or number quickly or that other creatureshave a great interest in as they pick at the sod could be an indication of insect activity. Grubs are becoming more prevalent each year and chewon the roots of the grass. They are most active in the Spring and Fall ofthe year and heavy populations should be controlled by a chemical controldesigned for subsurface insects. If yellow spots appear in the middle ofsummer in sunny, dry areas of your lawn, it is most likely chinch bug activity.Again, large populations should be controlled with a spray before the majority of your lawn is destroyed! Most lawn issues can be kept to a minimum with a little bit of vigilance, alittle bit of effort and a little bit of patience! If reseeding some problemspots on your lawn is in your future (ideally in May or mid-August to mid-September), we have great news for you! New varieties of seed havebeen developed that germinate quickly with less watering and that aremore weed and insect resistant. Talk to us at Urban Landscaping aboutour NEW custom blend grass seed that will give you the results you're afterwith less effort than before. It's never been so easy to GROW GREEN!

(NC) A new, national, emergency alert system is now in place with thegoal to alert you immediately if a potentially life-threatening event threat-ens your community. Alert Ready delivers public safety messages acrossthe country through local television and radio broadcasters.

Developed in partnership with federal, provincial and territorial emer-gency management officials, plus Environment Canada and the broad-cast industry, Alert Ready is operated by The Weather Network. Thesystem delivers critical warnings to residents through television andradio, as well as through their cable or satellite service provider. AlertReady provides a simple, easily accessible method to share alerts im-mediately, so you know when to take action to keep safe.

“From more common alerts such as tornados, floods and wild fires toother less frequent, but equally dangerous events like biohazards orlandslides, the Alert Ready system is in place to keep audiences in-formed of potential dangers,” says Paul Temple, senior vice-president ofregulatory and strategic affairs at The Weather Network. “The systembenefits all of us by giving everyone immediate exposure to important,life-saving information allowing them to take action and protect them-selves, their families and property.”

Canadians can expect the number and type of public safety messages torange from province to province. Participating radio, television, cable andsatellite companies will broadcast the alerts that are most relevant to thecommunities they serve. The scope of alerts covers the examples above,

as well as things such as train derailments, industrial fires, water con-tamination and missing persons, even informational alerts such as frostwarnings. The list is not limited to weather or environmental warnings.

More information is available online at AlertReady.ca, including exam-ples of the alert notifications, links to provincial and territorial emergencypreparedness resources and helpful videos to assist Canadians in beingprepared for emergencies.

Kitchen Talk" BY Jim Lawrence

Small kitchens can work big time.Great kitchens do not have to be large in size to be great in function. If your upcoming

project has a very small area for the kitchen you may want some professional help in

working out the layout. A major

advantage is that a very small kitchen has a much lower cabinet and renovation cost.

If you manage to pull off a good design and layout you will also find the new kitchen

extremely user friendly. You will be able to cook by almost standing in one spot or cer-

tainly it will only take one or two steps to move from one work zone to the other.

Here are a few tips that can make the small kitchen work.

#1–Do a standard or slide in stove. Be careful of counter stoves and wall

ovens, they require two locations so therefore take up much more design room. But it

is possible to put the oven under

the cook top and this will move them back to the same footprint space as a standard

stove layout.

#2–Get rid of the microwave. Not necessarily dispose of it, but do the mi-

crowave hood combination. These units have the

microwave, exhaust hood (or recirculating) and a built in light all in one. The best part

is that they are now extremely affordable, and are often available now at a lower cost

than most exhaust hoods.

#3–Arrange the seating. If there is space you may have room for a couple of

bar stools, or possibly work a small bistro table into the corner. Now when friends

and family are in, they will not be right in your cook zone. Instead they will be in one

area, chatting or doing home work, while you are doing your food prep.

So you have an impossibly small kitchen with no hope for improvement?

Call a professional kitchen designer to help. You will likely be

pleasantly surprised what they may come up with using just the space

that you have now.

(NC) If you've ever felt the pain of sunburn on your skin,the feeling of sunburnt eyes is just as uncomfortable. Toavoid discomfort and protect the eyes from the long termeffects of sun damage, follow these six tips suggested bydoctors of optometry:

1. SPF. SPF. SPF. Always wear sunscreen with a minimumSPF of 25 on your face, and pay special attention to thearea around your eyes.

2. Wear sunglasses year-round. More than 90% of ultravio-let rays penetrate through the clouds. Even when it's over-cast, your eyes are heavily exposed to UV rays. Plus, theyreflect off of surfaces like snow and water.

3. Channel your inner movie star. Bigger sunglass frameswill provide more protection from the rays. Check with adoctor of optometry to make sure the lenses are both UVAand UVB blocking—after all, not all sunglasses are createdequal.

4. Wear a wide-brimmed hat. It will cover your face fromthe sun.

5. Choose UV-blocking contact lenses. In combination withsunglasses and a hat, UV-blocking contact lenses can pro-tect your eyes from up to 90 per cent of UVA rays and 99per cent of UVB rays. Ensure that your brand has the ap-propriate level of protection.

6. Avoid man-made light sources. Tanning lamps or weldingsources, for example, emit harmful UV rays. Whether it'swith tinted goggles or simply by closing your eyes, beproactive and protect your eyes from harmful light sources.

Rhea Anderson, a doctor of optometry, explains: “Althoughthere can be immediate symptoms from UV damage toyour eyes, many long-term effects can start out symptom-less, including cataracts, macular degeneration or eyelidcancer. It is important to get your eyes checked regularlyand keep an eye out for those harmful rays all year long.”

Whether it's using yourhome pool or swimming at a beach, adult supervision is the best protection.•Clear all toys out of the water and away from the edge of the pool. •Obey any “No Diving” or “No Swimming” signs. They are there for a reason!•Dive in clear, unobstructed water. Check for hazards (rocks, tree branches,logs) before diving into the water. Enter the water feet first the first time to besure the water is safe. •Be careful when swimming in currents and know what to do if you get intotrouble.•Listen to the lifeguards on duty and obey the rules of the pool or beach.

Bikes & Beans opened in 2006 with the goal of becoming the Saint Johnarea’s premier bicycle shop by introducing the region to a whole new experience in the bicycle purchase process. Owner Steve Morris had competed in many bicycle related disciplines over the years and was stillan avid cyclist. He decided to take a leave from his job at Revenue Canadato have a go at opening a bicycle shop.Having a degree in Business Administration Steve wanted his shop to bea departure from the norm. Most bicycle shops he had visited in 20 yearsof cycling were not very conducive to shopping with the family, and notvery child friendly – it is difficult to make a decision when a child keepsannouncing they are bored. Bikes & Beans incorporated a play area intotheir shop and quite often the parents have to coax their children to leave,even after a long bicycle fitting session.That brings us to one of the dominant value-added features of the store.Steve Morris is the only Bicycle Fit Specialist certified under the renownedSerotta International Bicycling Institute in New Brunswick. Training underfamed custom frame builder Ben Serotta Steve learned many methods tofine tune the fit of a bicycle. At Bikes & Beans one can expect a sessionin their fit studio where Steve will measure angles, drop plumb lines andfire lasers at the client to ensure the bike fits and is adjusted properly. Thismay entail switching stems, handlebars, seat posts and even seats. In the

old days it may have taken years for someone to get “dialed in” on theirbike by making adjustment after adjustment, often times on the suggestionof other riders that did not have an understanding of fit. This service is ofno cost for bikes purchased from the shop; however, there is a charge forbicycles not purchased from Bikes & Beans.An often asked question that comes up is the “Beans”. Well, the crew atBikes & Beans are self-confessed coffee snobs. They receive their coffeefreshly roasted from Down East Coffee Roasters in Notre-Dame-de-Kent.You can often find a selection of farmer direct and fair trade coffees fromaround the world on brew, in addition to espressos, cappuccinos and lattes.Just recently they offered a special day where they offered very rare 100%Hawaiian Coffees from Kona and Kau – one of them an award winningroast that a major coffee chain has contracted a supply of for 2013, how-ever, Bikes & Beans were the first to offer it on the North American conti-nent. For this reason, as well as the friendly atmosphere, many areacyclists just come to hang out, watch videos on the flat screen, and chat,and it is this kind of low pressure, fun, soft sell atmosphere that has servedthe shop so well.So the next time you are looking for a new bike, or accessories, drop byBikes & Beans and see what they have to offer.
