Make the most out of spring break Local museums offer activities to challenge young minds BY CLAIRE SALINAS

Special to The Advocate Spring break is right around the corner for schools in Acadiana, and there are lots of ways for parents and kids to get out and about during the week to avoid getting cabin fever. On April 17, the Lafayette Science Museum is hosting a free admission day which will be open to the general public. Lafayette Science Museum Director Kevin B. Krantz says the museum’s goal is to make science fun, approachable and help spark an interest in science careers among their young visitors. “The Lafayette Science Museum promotes a science-slanted mindset that reminds us that our future is in the hands of the young people who will replace the scientists of today,” said Krantz. Interactive exhibits, a digital planetarium, virtual reality lab and exhibits like the The Crawl Space live bug zoo, keep many young scientists coming back for more, which helps the museum reach its goal of providing access to science education for kids in the Lafayette community. “We strive to reach the underserved communities throughout Louisiana,” said Krantz. “We also have a contract with the Lafayette Parish School System to help ensure that all students have access to science-related educational content to foster their interest in future careers in the sciences.” For parents looking to reduce their kids’ screen time, The Children’s Museum of Acadiana focuses their exhibits on helping children to up their play time. “It’s a special place for kids to be kids, where they can explore without being told, ‘Don’t touch,’ ”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

A child watches of children create music on the ‘Magical Music Cart, made of repurposed toys, household items, hardware and plumbing supplies in the courtyard of the Children’s Museum of Acadiana. said Carol McManus, executive director of the Children’s Museum. The museum provides a handson environment that encourages old-fashioned play, which according to McManus, is important for cognitive and social development. “Because electronic devices have changed the landscape of childhood, we hear from parents, grandparents and caregivers that they appreciate how the Children’s Museum of Acadiana provides hands on exploratory play, the opportunity to manipulate things and activities that help develop motor skills,” said McManus. The museum’s permanent exhibits include the Super 1 Foods Kids Grocery Store, the Café des Enfants restaurant, the Bubble Factory, Carson Healthy Paws Hospital and To Tell the Tooth Dental Exhibit. “We love that [we can provide] children with an environment to play in that is rooted in real world

experiences,” said McManus. During the week of Spring Break, the museum will hold its Annual Easter Party “Spring Fling” on Sunday, April 14. The event will include an Egg Hunt, organized by age groups complete with prizes. The celebration will also include a coloring contest, Easter crafts, games, selﬁes with Stuffee, mixing up “Bunny Bait” and egg dying. Admission is eight dollars for the general public and three dollars for members. Whatever activity you choose, boredom should be the last thing students and parents are worried about during spring break in Acadiana. For more information about the museums or any of their upcoming events, visit lafayettesciencemu seum.org, www.cmalaf.org or call LSM at (337) 291-5544 or CMA at (337) 232-8500.

Children use primarily recycled items for art and science projects in the ReUSEum (arts and crafts room) at the Children’s Museum during a ‘Puffy Paint’ workshop.

Notes from Doug Bill LeBlanc

is president of the Acadian Home Builders Association. His column appears weekly in Acadiana Homes.

How to know if a house is truly ‘green’ Voluntary NGBS certification assures sustainable standards met The good news: home builders are increasingly incorporating green building elements in their construction and development practices, offering consumers more options for homes that have minimal impact on the environment. The bad news: With this growth comes an emerging problem of “greenwashing” — a term for presenting a product as more environmentally friendly than is the case. Some home listings may advertise an entire home as green, when in reality, there may only be a few sustainable features. This can make buyers more skeptical about a home marketed as green. For this reason, many builders look to third-party validation, such as the National Green Building Standard. NGBS is a voluntary standard developed by government, environmental and industry experts and is the only green rating system approved by the American National Standards Institute. To receive NGBS certification, a home must perform at or above a baseline threshold of sustainability in several areas including: • Energy-efficiency improvements, such as high levels of insulation, efficient HVAC systems, high-performance windows and energy-efficient appliances or lighting • Water conservation measures, such as water-efficient appliances, wa-

ter-conserving fixtures, filtration systems, and water-efficient or low-maintenance landscaping • Resource conservation techniques, such as using high-performance engineered wood, wood alternatives, allergen-free materials, recycled building materials, sustainably harvested lumber and more durable products • Indoor environmental quality considerations, such as effective HVAC equipment, use of formaldehyde-free finishes, and products with minimum off-gassing or low-volatile organic compounds • Site design techniques, like minimizing disruption and preserving open space Homes that are verified receive a Federal Trade Commission-compliant NGBS certification mark, providing buyers with confirmation that the home is a high-performance property. Sustainability measures and high-performance building techniques are important to homeowners who want to enjoy lower ownership costs through utility savings, increased durability and an improved indoor living environment. Going green also encourages more efficient use of increasingly scarce reMETRO MEDIA sources and helps to conserve them for future generations. It’s important to be informed when certifications such as the NGBS.

Home improvements for the birds StatePoint

ment and most importantly, saves lives,” says Spencer Schock, founder of WindowAlert, a company that offers UV decals and UV Liquid. The UV decals and liquid from WindowAlert have been shown to effectively alter the ﬂight path of birds to prevent window strikes. The coating will look like etched glass to the human eye, but be very visible to a bird. As UV reﬂectivity may fade over time, it’s important to replace the decals and liquid every four months. Application techniques can be found by visiting WindowAlert.com.

When it comes to changing the world, your own backyard is a great place to start. As you make home improvements, consider their potential to beneﬁt local wildlife that travel in and around your property. Here are a few important steps you can take.

Plant native species By planning native species in your garden and yard, you will be promoting a healthy local ecosystem while providing proper nourishment and a natural habitat for visiting wildlife, whether that be insects, birds or furry creatures. Because native plant species are meant to thrive in your local climate, they will require less maintenance, which means a beautiful yard with less stress.

Prevent bird strikes You may not realize it, but your home poses a risk to birds. Window strikes are common among many species of migrating birds, and millions of wild

birds are killed annually ﬂying into windows. However, a simple home improvement project can make your home safer for birds. Birds can see certain light frequencies that humans can’t, so by applying UV decals and UV liquid to your home’s windows and sliding glass doors, you can make windows visible to birds in a way that won’t obstruct your own view. “Protecting birds adds beauty to your garden, is good for the environ-

Build a bird house Add beauty to your yard with a wooden bird house. Find a design you love or get creative and craft your own, using your own home’s architecture for inspiration. A strategically placed bird house — either within three feet of a window or over 30 feet away — will help avoid bird strikes. Be a good neighbor — not just to the other humans. Make improvements to your home that will help protect both local and migratory wildlife.

Improvements to enhance small kitchens Metro Media Many homeowners long for expansive kitchens with sought-after modern features. As desirable as such kitchens may be, some homes simply don’t have enough space for a centerfold-worthy kitchen with an island, wine refrigerator and walk-in pantry – or even just a wine refrigerator. However, homeowners with small kitchens can still improve the appearance and functionallity of their existing spaces.

Reconfigure and revamp cabinetry Redesigning the layout of cabinets, and possibly adding some more cabinetry, may take care of common storage issues. The experts at Merit Kitchens suggest utilizing corner space with LeMans units, lazy susans and other gadgets to make access to these areas easier. Going vertical with wall cabinets that extend to the ceiling also can add more storage, as can roll-in work carts.

Work with the walls Small kitchens require clever usage of vertical space. Vertical storage

units, hooks, shelving, and more can move items out of drawers and off of counters. Consider an under-the-cabinet toaster oven and microwave to create more counter space.

Use scaled-down appliances Shop with size in mind when looking at new appliances if you have a small kitchen. Compact versions won’t take up as much space as larger alternatives. Homeowners should consider the ultimate function of the kitchen when buying appliances. Seldom used or oversized appliances may not be the best choices for small spaces.

Add some glass The DIY Network recommends incorporating glass to improve the perception of space in small kitchens. Glass lets you see through the objects, thereby enhancing the feeling of spaciousness or what designers call “negative space.” Glass also can be reﬂective, visually expanding the space.

Embrace high-end materials It costs less to renovate small spaces
