Let’s Move is First Lady Michelle Obama’s initiative to fight against child-hood obesity, and area children have opportunities to get active through thetown of Farragut or local businesses.

Town’s Movers & Shakers Club kicks off from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday, May4, at Campbell Station Park.

Chelsey Riemann, Town public relations coordinator, said the eventwould help families learn more about the program.

“This is our summer exercise program for kids in grades kindergartenthrough 12th grade,” she said. “We’ve been doing it for several years, and wejust keep expanding on it. And us becoming a Let’s Move partner was some-thing that kind of spurred us to grow this program even more. This is thefirst year that we’ve had a kickoff event for this program.”

The Town also is expanding the program through having two field days,she said.

The field days will take place at Anchor Park, from 9 to 11 a.m., onMonday, June 24 and Monday, July 15 and cost $5 per child.

The program runs from Monday, May 13 through Friday, Aug. 2. The dead-line to register is Friday, June 14.

Those who do 60 hours of activity in the program get to go to a free iceskating party at Cool Sports Monday, Aug. 12.

Nadia Kogeler, Cool Sports general manager, said the Let’s Move cam-paign is very important.

“I grew up figure skating since I was very little,” she said. “... All of ourmanagement staff, they’ve either been involved in ice hockey, figure skat-ing, soccer or football growing up. So at a very young age and they contin-ue, even now, to play in our leagues or participate in our shows or thingslike that.”

She said the business has an indoor ice rink and indoor turf fields.“We offer ice skating lessons and figure skating, so advanced figure skat-

ing, as well as ice hockey, and we have ice hockey for youth and adultleagues,” she said. “We do youth soccer and adult soccer and adult flag foot-ball. Other things that we offer are birthday party packages, so we havepackages in ice hockey, soccer, flag football and bounce houses. We alsohave open skate for the public to come and just skate with family andfriends, which is a great thing to do throughout the summer to stay cool.”

Summer revelers often take to theskies, rails and waves to embark on avacation adventure. With the kids out ofschool and relaxed hours at the work-place, individuals and families generallyfind that summer is the ideal time to plana getaway. For those who find they don'thave the funds this year, or simply preferto stay closer to home, there are likelymany different local events to enjoyinstead.

Many people will be making this sum-mer the year of the staycation. With theaverage price of gasoline hoveringaround the $4 mark, according to theAAA Auto Group, you may be among theindividuals planning to keep vacationand weekend activities limited to a cer-tain radius around your house. Whatmany people seldom realize is that thewarm-weather season is a prime time forlocal offerings from different organiza-tions in the community – many of whichare low-cost and nearby. Chances areyour neighborhood is hosting one or moreof these different types of communityevents.

• Fireworks display: Whether forIndependence Day or just to mark thestart of a summer weekend, towns oftenhost vibrant fireworks displays. Coastaltowns may have them at the beach orboardwalk area, while inland areas may

have a specific field or town center loca-tion where they can be observed.

• Carnival: You need not travel to thetheme park several miles away to enjoy abit of chills and thrills. There may be oneor several carnivals taking place nearbythis year. Many churches host a carnivalto raise funds. There also may be countyfairs that feature their share of thrillrides and carnival test-of-skill games. Ofcourse, the carnival food that goes withthe event also is something to look for-ward to.

• Park activities: From hiking excur-sions to garden tours, the private or gov-ernment-subsidized parks may issue anevents schedule with many differentactivities. Some have theater under thestars or camp-out movie nights. Othersmay have wine- and cheese-tastingsoirees. These parks may have exhibitioncenters that can be visited any time ofthe year.

• Summer camps: Many childcare cen-ters and other organizations offer summercamp programs. Research this optionearly on so you can ensure a place for yourchild should you choose to sign up.

• Concerts: The summer season is cer-tainly one for concerts. If you don't hap-pen to live right near a sports arena oranother music venue, you may be able toenjoy local bands at clubs and restau-

rants. Some towns also have a perform-ance stage where they invite performersto play week after week. Who knows, yourfavorite musician may show up for anacoustic or intimate performance night.

• Tours and parades: Althoughparades often coincide with major holi-days, some towns host carnival-typeparades for the community. Children may

be able to ride on a fire truck or explorethe workings of a police cruiser.

There are plenty of enjoyable activitiesthat could be taking place right in yourown backyard this summer. Consult thenewspaper, online bulletins or a commu-nity newsletter to keep abreast of the different events that may be coming your way.

said Rachel Shopovick, director of thelocation at 215 Brooklawn St.

“Basically [The Little Gym] was start-ed because they wanted a nice, non-com-petitive nurturing environment for kidsto exercise and gain confidence,” shesaid. “We start classes from 4 months oldall the way up to 12 years old. We have alarge array of programs. We have karate.We have sports skills classes, which is justthe fundamentals of different sports,along with gymnastics. We also havedance classes: We teach ballet, tap, cre-ative movement, hip hop.”

Kristi Boles, owner of Academy ofDance Arts, said, “I think it’s great for thekids to have an opportunity to exercise,doing something that they love.”

Academy of Dance Arts offers a widevariety of programs.

“We have classes in ballet, tap, jazz, mod-ern, musical theatre and Zumba for agesthree and up, through adult,” she said.

Lisa McKee, artistic director of STU-DIO ARTS for dancers, said the businessties in with the Let’s Move initiative

through the sheer amount of timedancers are active.

According to the initiative’s website,for children aged 6 to 17 years old, “Youneed to be active 60 minutes a day, atleast five days a week, for six out of eightweeks.”

“While about 25 percent of our dancerstake one class a week, fulfilling part oftheir quota, many of our dancers, age 8 to10, take up to four hours a week, and ourupper-level dancers, age 12 to 18, arekeeping a vigorous schedule of ninehours per week,” McKee said.

STUDIO ARTS for dancers offers plen-ty of choices for those interested.

“STUDIO ARTS for dancers offersinstruction in classical ballet, pointe,modern, contemporary, jazz and tapdance in a wide range of levels frombeginning pre-schoolers through pre-pro-fessional,” she said. “Within the curricu-lum, dancers learn dance history, termi-nology and choreographic principlesappropriate for each level and age group.Upper levels also are exposed to classesand discussions on injury prevention,core training and dancer anatomy andnutrition.”

Relief from thepain of sunburn

Summer draws people outdoors toenjoy fun in the sun. But not everyaspect of summertime weather can bepleasant, especially when sunburnrears its blistery head.

Sunburn can occur after roughly 15to 30 minutes of exposure to the sun.The burn itself may not show up forhours later, which is why people oftenthink they've avoided a burn. Theresults of sunburn are often pain, red-ness and potential blistering, depend-ing on the level of damage. Althoughthere is no specific treatment for sun-burn, there are some remedies thatcan help the pain and help to speed uprecovery.

• Drink plenty of water. Damagedskin may not be able to properlyinhibit the loss of moisture from thebody, resulting in dehydration.Drinking water can replenish fluidsneeded for comfort and health.

• Over-the-counter pain medica-tions may alleviate the stubborn pain.If the pain is very severe, consult aphysician, who might feel prescrip-

tion-strength pain relievers are neces-sary. There also are topical pain-reliefsprays that temporarily dull the painand cool the skin.

• Cool, wet compresses as well aslotions that soothe can also be helpfuland reduce swelling. Look for oneswith natural ingredients, such as aloevera.

• Oral antihistamines can helpwhen the skin eventually starts to peeland becomes itchy.

• If blisters are present, leave thembe until they break on their own.Prematurely breaking sunburn blis-ters can increase the risk of infection.An antibiotic cream may be appliedafter the blisters break to speed uphealing and prevent infection.

• If the sunburn is severe or accom-panied by a fever, consult a physi-cian.

The best way to treat sunburn is notto get it in the first place. This meansbeing diligent about applying sunblockbefore going outdoors.

CREATIVE LEARNING FOR KIDS June & July


A pool party is an ideal way to host abirthday or other special event withouthaving to do a lot of planning. All that istypically needed is an available pool andparty participants ready to have a goodtime.

One main advantage to a pool party isthat the pool is the entertainment factorfor the guests. There's no need to spendhours thinking up games or other formsof entertainment. Swimming, splashingand jumping into the water will keepmany guests occupied for hours. If youprefer more structure, consider relayraces, diving games and water volleyball.

Party preparationStart with the invitations when

preparing the party. Select a coloredpaper or pattern that is reminiscent ofpool water. A vibrant aquamarine wouldfit the bill. Print out a catchy phrase thatdescribes the upcoming event (i.e.,Jimmy's Party is Bound to be a Splash),and be sure to remind guests to bringtowels and bathing suits. If you will nothave enough chairs for all guests, askthem to bring a beach chair as well.

Put together a selection of music thatevokes summer fun or tropical locations.There are bound to be compilationplaylists available for purchase. Aninstrumental steel drum album alsowould be effective.

Tie decorations into the theme.Purchase or rent inflatable palm treesand string lantern lights around the

party area, if possible. Keep plenty ofbeach balls on hand to toss around in orout of the water. Table linens can be pur-chased in bright hues to match the blue,red and yellow strips of a beach ball. Besure to have plenty of fun pool toys avail-able, such as floats and water guns. Havea few extra pairs of eye goggles on handas well as sunblock in case swimmersforgot their own.

Pool party foodThink about which foods to serve at a

pool party. Light finger foods are idealbecause they won't sit heavily in guests'stomachs. Think about tea sandwiches,fruit and vegetable skewers, salads andshish kabobs, served along with chipsand dips. If the party will be in the back-yard, barbecue fare also may be quickand easy, especially if there are a goodnumber of guests.

Create a number of tropical-inspiredbeverages. Anything with the taste ofmelon, mango and pineapple would fit inwith the theme.

One of the final factors of pool-partyfood is the dessert. Look to individuallyserved desserts that can be eaten byhand. Opt for cupcakes with blue frost-ing and a gummy fish on top. Ice creamcone sundaes are ideal on warm days.Other guests might like bite-sized fruitand custard tarts.

Pool party safetyWhen hosting a pool party, emphasize

safety. Remember, a person can drown in

Pool Party

just a few inches of water in a matter ofminutes.

• Designate a life guard. If your partyis at a public pool, ensure a lifeguard willbe on duty. Designate a lifeguard at a pri-vate party as well, even hiring an off-dutylifeguard if no guests can perform thenecessary duties.

• Make sure fences around the poolare tall enough to prevent accidentalfalls into the pool and that they aresecured with self-latching gates.

• Insist that children who cannot swimuse a Coast Guard-approved life vest oranother approved flotation device.Inflatable water wings are not effectiveagainst drowning.

• Don't let anyone chew gum or eat inthe pool. It can lead to choking.

• Jumping and diving should be pro-hibited if the water is too shallow.

• Make sure guests know to follow thepool rules or they won't be allowed toswim.

Spend less on family travelMany families go on vacation once the school year ends.

But with the fluctuating prices of fuel, driving or flying witha family of four or more can be costly. Those fed up with yetanother "staycation" may be wondering how they can trimcosts but still get away.

Taking a vacation is a way for people to rest andrecharge. Even if a trip lasts just a few days, the change ofscenery and the chance to leave behind the daily grind canprovide a much-needed escape. According to Travel-hori-zons(TM), people traveling with children or grandchildrenmake up roughly 30 percent of all adult leisure travelers.The average American family takes four to five leisure tripsper year, and there are many ways to save money on suchexcursions without compromising the fun factor.

Travel MethodFlying to a destination is often more expensive than tak-

ing a train or driving. Consider renting a van or even an RVto transport the entire family to your destination if it iswithin reasonable driving distance. Family members cantake turns driving to cut down on the number of stops thatneed to be made.

If you prefer to fly, realize that direct, nonstop flights

tend to be the most costly. Discounts are to be had whenyou fly in the early morning or late at night and are willingto endure a layover. Booking round-trip tickets tends to beless expensive than one-way tickets, as is flying in and outof the same airport as opposed to using a different airporton the return trip.

Booking trips well in advance enables consumers toshop around for affordable flights, but many times dealscan be had when shoppers wait until the last minute andtake advantage of airline and discount travel sites offeringlast-minute deals. Seats on half-empty flights may beoffered at a discount. You may even be able to contact anairline and negotiate the cost of a flight.

Package DealsTravel sites and independent travel agents often

give you better prices when you package itemstogether. Therefore, if you stay at a particularhotel, book with a certain airline and add arental car in the same transaction, the cost maybe far less than purchasing these components

separately. Think Outside the HotelHotels are not the only places to stay

while on vacation. Many times privatehouse or condo rentals cost considerablyless money than per-night stays at hotels.There are Web sites that cater to rentals-by-owner that can be searched andbooked.

Staying in a private rental often givesyou more space to spread out and may

even provide access to a full-servicekitchen. This can help you to conservefunds by letting you prepare some or allof your meals, rather than eating out.

Discount hostels and individuals whoopen up their homes to travelers can beother avenues of investigation for less-expensive accommodations.

If you prefer a hotel to earn vacationpoints or rewards, consider staying a townover. Hotels in tourist destinations requesttop dollar, but staying a few miles out oftown can help you save a bundle.

Pay in Full/ Pay in Advance

Purchasing amusement park, theateror special event tickets in advance is typ-ically less expensive than paying the "atthe door" price. Research all of the placesyou plan to visit while on your trip andbook these adventures in advance. Notonly will it save you the hassle of makingarrangements while on vacation, but alsoyou can save a few dollars along the way.

Some hotels offer similar discounts. Ifyou book a non-refundable stay and payin full, you may earn a rate that is lowerthan the standard room price.

Be Flexible

Rigid travel dates and plans will notleave wiggle room for negotiation. High-demand dates tend to cost the most.Flying out a day before or after a peakdate can reduce airline rates consider-ably. Also, try to book vacations in off-peak times. Resorts will be less crowded,and you will save money by taking advan-tage of off-season prices.

Vacationing as a family can be an idealway to spend time together. When a groupis traveling, it is a good idea to look forany and all ways to save money on thetrip.
