Getting to know you All it takes is a bit of initiative and an invitation. If you’re worried about getting bogged down with details, start small, and keep it simple. Schedule a potluck rendez-vous for a weekend afternoon at a nearby park that has picnic tables. If you’re feeling more ambitious, you could host a backyard barbecue where everyone brings their own meat to grill plus a salad or dessert to share. If you know your neighbours, drop by with a verbal invitation; if you don’t, leave a print-out But why should we let the days of neighbourhood friendli- with all the info in the mailbox or tucked into the front door. ness be banished?

Are you familiar with this scenario? You live on a suburban street, in a recently built development. You and your spouse both work full time, or sometimes longer, and the kids are at daycare and clubs after school. You catch glimpses of your neighbours, but there is just no time to trade plates of cookies or chitchat over the backyard fence. Those days are long gone, along with charcoal barbecues and flowered wallpaper, right?

It’s well worth sacrificing the extra lengthy snooze (as most farmers’ markets happen early mornings... and weekend mornings to boot) to find products this personal. In a thriving community, a farmer’s market is a really busy venue that smacks of diversity. Fresh fruits and veggies are at the root of the farmers and in this case, some of the freshest, tastiest home market and typically, each progressing week forwards grown goods. another product or two (or more at the height of the Farmers’ markets all across Ontario are building a growing season). Expect, also, to find expert meat reputation as a reliant food source. What comes to producers, connoisseurs of jams, jellies and other fine market is grown in local soil, toned by local climate, condiments, talented bakers, and vendors that sell and tamed and nurtured by a local gardener. farm fresh eggs... amazing!

As part of the overall atmosphere, aromas, too, affect our market experience. Deliciousness from a market kitchen may invite us to indulge in a hot breakfast or perhaps a taste of a specially baked treat. We might be serenaded by a local musician, or simply surrounded by friendly chatter. (Hmmmm... the neighbors are up early too?) A busy marketplace quickly transforms into a social hubbub. A pleasant surprise. And if anyone dares to think they fell out of bed, simply to hunt down some food; look to the artists and artisans, who have become a mainstay at farmers’ markets. They offer unique craftsmanship and create beautiful art, jewellry, clothing, accessories,

Especially eager to get our attention. So, while we move along; buying, socializing, browsing, budgeting (thinking of next time around, of course), we are struck by a thought, perhaps. The thought that “...when we buy useful, quality products produced locally by people we know, we support an idea. An idea that fosters community. An idea that we benefit one another.”

Camping with all the comforts of home Do you love being out in the wilderness but don’t particularly appreciate camping in the wild? Then, luxury camping is for you. Here are a few tips on how to enjoy its pleasures.
GLAMPING The phenomenon of glamping — luxury camping — is increasingly common. Yurts, teepees, gypsy-inspired caravans, and high-end trailers: comfy camping is gaining ground. Some hosts provide bedding, while other locations are more oriented toward the conventional camping crowd; for those spots you’ll need to bring an inflatable mattress with you. Place upon it your open sleeping bag, then add sheets, blankets, and pillows, and you’re all set. TASTY MEALS Even though hotdogs and sandwiches are standard camping fare, there’s noth-
ing to prevent you from concocting more sophisticated meals. Just remember that the cooking of gourmet meals when camping requires a bit of forethought. Prepare meats and vegetables in advance, and bring a few frozen meals that can be stored in a cooler, which is now your fridge on the go. For your breakfasts, plan on making pancakes with maple syrup; eggs and bacon; muesli and fresh fruit; or banana bread with yoghurt. For your lunches, enjoy tuna rolls; bagels and smoked salmon; or a hearty soup. For your suppers, prepare steaks with tinfoil packets of diced potatoes and onions; cheese fondue; pesto pasta; grilled chicken with rice, corn on the cob, and salad. Make sure you bring a couple bottles of your favourite wine. Yummy! Now all you need for your trip into the woods is the company of some loved ones or friends!

Living AT THE
“Summer is finally here in all its glory and along with it comes the miracle of birth, rebirth and survival of the fittest.”
COTTAGE
Three little miracles are shown on this page. Dan Cleroux sent me the first photo of the three tiny eggs about 10 days ago. I could hear the excitement in his voice as he talked about finding the nest with the eggs in a hanging flower basket that his wife, Joanne, had hung at the lodge a short time earlier. He must have been counting down the days, because this morning at the crack of dawn I received the second photo of the three baby robins released from the eggs that protected them. I am sure that Dan and Joanne had a hand in keeping this little family safe. The miracles of birth and re-birth surround us at this time of year and I can’t help but marvel as I catch glimpses of the fish spawning along and watch the flowers bursting all around me. I feel strong and protected when I hear the loons calling. I know that the female is sitting on her nest warming the eggs as the male swims close by protecting their unborn.

FEEL I too feel re-born and fit. I am woman! Hear me roar! I can do anything! And so the priming of the pump begins. It’s actually simple looking, easy to lift and place in position. The actual pump is mounted on the top of a small pressure tank. Both the tank and the pump are blue. There is a hose that leads from the pump to a foot valve at the end of the hose. The intent is to suck the water in through the valve from a reservoir of water and as long as it stays submerged the foot valve holds the water in the hose. I start by filling up the hose before tightening the three silver rings with the little screws in them. All the time thinking that this was a brilliant idea, as I’d never seen

anyone do it that way before. Next, and before plugging in the pump, I knew that there were two little screws on the top of the pump that I needed to pour water into. The first one came out easily and I quickly put as much water into the hole as
I could. I plugged in the pump and quickly lost the prime. Starting over, I left the pump running as I again loosened the same screw and poured water into the pump as it was running. Filling it to the top I kept my thumb tightly over the hole as it chugged and the hose started jerking. I felt proud and re-born as I held my thumb over the hole and used my free hand to test the nozzle on the hose. I just had to move my thumb off the hole as quickly as I could and put the screw back in. I quickly lost the prime. Leaving the pump running I knew that I had to get the other screw off. So with a set of vice grips I reefed on that screw till my hands went numb and my feet left the ground. It finally started to come loose and then with a force worthy of a forcefully-shaken bottle of champagne my vice grips and the screw were sent into space by the pressurized water being pushed out of the pump. I was left kneeling beside the pump under a torrent of falling water. Dumbfounded I sat staring at the electrical cord that was hanging from the outlet. It was dripping wet. I was dripping wet. REBORN! It didn’t take long to stop. It was really just a matter of seconds I think, but when it did, I found myself checking my body parts to see if they were black from electrocution. I was alive! Reborn! And so, the Loons are still calling and the flowers bloom all around but the pump sits idle. It definitely is survival of the fittest.

s e i talk to each e r i other with light. F
Fireflies emit light mostly to attract mates, although they also communicate for other reasons as well, such as to defend territory and warn predators away. In some firefly species, only one sex lights up. In most, however, both sexes glow; often the male will fly, while females will wait in
trees, shrubs and grasses to spot an attractive male. If she finds one, she’ll signal it with a flash of her own. In a firefly’s tail, you’ll find two chemicals: luciferase and luciferin. Luciferin is heat resistant, and it glows under the right conditions. Luciferase is an enzyme that triggers light emission. ATP, a chemical within the firefly’s body, converts to energy and initiates the glow. All living things, not just fireflies, contain ATP. Fireflies love warm, humid areas. Because of this, they thrive in tropical regions as well as temperate zones—they come out in the summertime in these environments—on all continents except Antarctica. Fireflies thrive in forests, fields and marshes near lakes, rivers, ponds, streams and vernal pools. They need a moist environment to survive.

14 Seasons, Summer 2014
Pour the b u b b l e solution into a bottle or a container with a lid. Let the solution rest for a few hours before using it for the best results.
To make bubble blowers, line up some straws together and wrap around with tape.

You can also pour the solution into individual jars for each child, and you will be good to go! Re-using jars, or plastic cups (such as yogurt cups with lids) works just great! Now, grab your wands, blowers, and bubble solution and get outside! Be sure to enjoy the good weather with some good old fashion bubble blowing that your kids are sure to enjoy!

Four renovation projects to do OUTSIDE For some people, summer is synonymous with vacations, travelling, and getting away from it all. For others, it is the perfect time of year to do some renovations. Here are four projects to do outside your home during the summer months. 1. REDO THE ROOF Whether you entrust this project to a roofing company or you do it yourself, replacing a roof is a more enjoyable task on a sunny, dry day. However, be sure to avoid roof work during a heat wave, as you could easily end up with heat stroke. If necessary, take this
opportunity to change the rain gutters. 2. CHANGE THE SIDING Whether you use vinyl panels, brick, stone, stucco, natural wood, engineered, or composite wood, replacing or restoring your home’s siding is a major project. Installing a new veneer usually requires more than a day of work, making it a great project for a summer vacation. 3. LANDSCAPE THE YARD Make the most of summer by landscaping your backyard. Let yourself get swept away by the current outdoor living

trend. Create an enjoyable living area, right out back, with a solarium, pool, spa, fence, outdoor kitchen and living area, play modules for the children, flowers and shrubs, vegetable garden, and water garden. 4. REPAINT WOOD STRUCTURES Rejuvenate your property by painting or staining wood structures, such as the garage, door and window frames, deck, railings, steps, above ground pool decks, and carport. To let the paint or stain dry properly, do these jobs on a day when it’s not too hot, too humid, nor too sunny.

Four renovation projects to do INSIDE You’ve decided to forgo the road vacation in order to stay home and get some big jobs done around the house? Here are the top four indoor renovations to do, while the weather is warm. A handy tip: keep plenty of cool drinks on hand and set up a comfy outdoor living area, complete with lounging furniture, lighting, and an awning for rainy days. 1. RENOVATE THE KITCHEN Renovating the kitchen can be a long, complex process, even more so because it is a key room in the home. Renovating your kitchen during the summer has its advantages: you can prepare meals outdoors on the barbecue and use the backyard as a dining area. 2. REDO THE FLOORS Even though sanding and varnishing techniques have greatly improved over the years, these jobs can still disrupt the entire household. With warm summer weather, it is possible to air out the room quickly after the work is done. Just be sure to leave the window screens in place to keep dust and other particles from coming indoors. 3. REPAINT Summer is a good time to undertake painting jobs (except during humid periods). Not only can you air out the rooms as you work, but you can begin the job very early in the morning and finish later because of the long daylight hours. In other words, you’ll be more productive — unless you succumb to the temptation of taking a dip in your pool on such a beautiful day!
4. CHANGE DOORS AND WINDOWS Whether your goal is to improve the style or the energy efficiency of your home, changing the doors and windows is definitely a summer project. Warm weather is a distinct advantage, as installation can require multiple comings and goings from the outdoors.

What is swimmer’s itch?
Swimmer’s itch is a temporary, itchy rash caused by small worm-like parasites called schistosomes. These parasites spend their life cycle in the bodies of water snails and in the blood stream of aquatic mammals, ducks or other waterfowl. During their life cycle, schistosome larvae leave their snail host and swim near the surface of the water, looking for bird and mammal hosts.
Where are these parasites found?
These parasites can be found in many lakes, ponds and coastal waters usually in the warm summer months. Wind near the shoreline can push the tiny larvae to the edges of lakes where they float near the surface.
Who is at risk of getting swimmer’s itch?
Young children playing and splashing in shallow areas of lakes and ponds may be at higher risk because: • They are constantly getting wet, without thoroughly drying off. • They usually play by the shore where these parasites tend to be. • Younger children’s skin can be more sensitive than the skin of an adult.
H C T I
How does someone get swimmer’s itch?
Sometimes larvae might mistakenly get on your skin if you are swimming or wading in water. The larvae burrow under your skin, however, they cannot survive in humans and will die almost immediately. It is the allergic reaction to these tiny larvae under the skin that causes swimmer’s itch. Swimmer’s itch is not transmittable among people.
How can I prevent swimmer’s itch?
There is no sure way to avoid swimmer’s itch entirely, unless you avoid lakes, ponds or beaches. However, there are certain precautions you can take, including: • Do research about the water condition before getting in any lake, pond or beach. Good sources of information include local health officials, parks representatives or other visitors to the area. • Checking for warning signs at public beaches, lakes and picnic areas that state that swimmer’s itch may be present. Not all beaches have signage for swimmer’s itch. If you are unsure about the water, avoid areas with lots of weed growth. There may be more snails and larvae around those plants. • Using a pier or dock to enter the water may help reduce your risk of exposure, as there tend to be more larvae near the shore.

• Applying waterproof sunscreen before bathing may help reduce the number of larvae from penetrating your skin. • Drying yourself off with a towel as soon as you come out of the water. If possible, have a shower and dry off right away. Showering will not remove any larvae that have already burrowed under your skin.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms can range from a mild irritation to a very severe, itchy red rash. Scratching can cause severe pain and swelling, or sauce your skin to become infected. The severity of your symptoms will depend on how many larvae get on to your skin and how sensitive you are to them. Symptoms also tend to get worse after repeat exposure. As you start to dry off and the larvae start to burrow into your skin, you may feel a tingling sensation. Small, pin sized red spots will appear, which grow into larger red rashes within several hours. As these red spots grow, the tingling feeling becomes a strong itch.
How long do the symptoms last?
A rash may appear within 12 hours after infection. The infection may last from 2 to 5 days and symptoms can last as long as 2 weeks. Repeat infections are usually worse because people become more sensitive to the larvae and develop stronger allergic responses each time.
How do I treat swimmer’s itch?
There are a number of steps you can take, which may reduce some of the itchiness. Check with your health care provider about what treatment is right for you. Common treatments and advice include: • Avoid scratching, if you scratch too much the rash may become infected. • Apply plain calamine lotion. • Take antihistamines. For children under 6 years old, consult your health care provider such as your local pharmacist or family doctor. Antihistamines may make young children sleepy or may stimulate the nervous system causing hyperactivity. • Take shallow, lukewarm baths with 3 tablespoons of baking soda in the water. • Take colloidal oatmeal baths. • Apply cool compresses.
Is swimmer’s itch dangerous?
The rash and itch can be very irritating, especially for young children, but there should not be any serious danger. However, if a skin infection occurs from too much scratching, you should see your health care provider.

The
of Custom Framing by Laura Landers Bringing artwork and family pictures in to a shop for framing can be overwhelming. Here is some information that will help you understand Custom Framing just a little bit better! Why do we get things framed professionally? • Framing that special piece of artwork can actually help to preserve it, and keep it in beautiful condition for future generations. • Custom framing can make a piece of art fit with your decor, and be the accent, or focal point for each room. • Your framer, once discovering the significance of the artwork, will better help you to select something that will reflect this in the best possible way. • Because artwork is done on so many different products (material, paper, canvas, etc.) there are specific ways to frame in order to preserve it. Check the condition of your artwork and framing • It’s a good idea to bring your favorite artwork and old photos in to the shop for a check up. Pictures and paintings that have been hanging in the same place or in high travel areas suffer from wear and tear just like anything else. • Humidity, nicotine, pet hair, sunlight and aerosol sprays do a number on your framed artwork over time. Also, believe it or not, flies and bugs work their way inside your frames, lay eggs, make webs and spots on the glass and artwork. • The matting around the pictures goes yellow from age, and the colouring is just not the same as when they were put in there many years ago. • Hangers and wiring wear out too. The weight can cause them

to fall and very often you end up with a broken frame and glass. Mat board • You might think that the colourful mat board that surrounds your picture is an ‘accent’ that’s put in there just to look pretty. However, mat board is actually a tool that protects your artwork. • Simply put, matting acts as a ‘blotter’ that will absorb moisture and will prevent your pictures from buckling and soaking up moisture when our climate changes from humid to dry and back again. • It also creates an ‘air space’ between the glass and the picture within the frame, keeping it from adhering to the glass and becoming stained. • The core of conservation mat board is a blend of cotton fibre which will not turn yellow over time. Again, this protects your art, needlework and photographs all the more. • Fading is also more preventable with acid free mat board. Things do tend to fade, but we want to make this more preventable. Frames Updating old frames that are becoming chipped and broken with a beautiful stylish new frame will bring your artwork back to life again! Your custom framer will help you restore an older frame to look brand new again. Why not switch your old scratched metal frames for a beautiful wooden model? All of these things bring value to your art, and can transform the look of it too! Framing Objects If you have one-of-a-kind treasures, here is a very good way to show them off! Why not have your most valuable possessions arranged in a shadow box to make an heirloom that everyone can enjoy! Needlework is always so beautiful when stretched and framed properly! It means blocking, stitching and acid-free back-board to do it properly but the end results are very much worth it. Whatever your needs, we are more than happy to show you new ways to protect your artwork for many more years to come!

About Army Cadets and the Army Cadet League Royal Canadian Army Cadets The Royal Canadian Army Cadets is a national organization for youth aged 12 to 18. There are more than 25,000 cadets which are split up into over 450 corps across Canada. Each member meets up once a week during the school year on their designated training night to learn citizenship, leadership, drill, effective speaking, outdoor survival, range and more. In addition to training nights, corps may have other optional nights of the week dedicated to sports, drill, range, biathlon or other additional training. During select weekends during the year, many corps engage in outdoor bush exercises, competitions or a variety of other trips. Q: Why should I join Cadets? A: Cadets offer you challenges, friendship and adventure! It’s an opportunity to expand your own horizons, contribute to your community and make friends for life. Many former Cadets credit their participation in the program with giving them a head-start toward their successful careers. Did you know that astronaut Chris Hadfield, Olympic biathlon gold medallist Myriam Bédard and actor Jim Carrey were all Cadets in their teens? Q: What do Cadets do? A: Cadets are teenagers like you who take part in activities at a Cadet Corps within their local community. These activities are designed to help you to become more self-confident, to develop your leadership skills, to improve your physical fitness and communication skills, and to teach you self-discipline through challenging training. Q: How old do I have to be to join Cadets? A: You can join as soon as you’ve reached your twelfth birthday and you can remain until you turn 19. Q: What does it cost to join? A: There is no enrollment fee to join the cadet program. However, cadets may be asked to take part in fundraising activities that support optional programming in which his/her corps participates. Q: If I don’t pay to join Cadets, then who pays? A: The two major partners in the Army Cadet program are the Department of National Defence and the Army Cadet League of Canada (a civilian non-profit corporation). These two organizations work together to provide the facilities and material required to operate each Army Cadet Corps.

Simplifying gardening
Now that the warm weather has arrived, are you feeling the urge to do some yard work and create new flowerbeds, just like so many other gardening fans? Sometimes this enthusiasm lasts throughout the growing season, but sometimes it wanes as summer progresses.
Indeed, a lot of gardeners are much less energetic once July or August rolls around, and it isn’t unusual to see
Keep your gardening simple with a few easy tricks.
some yards looking a touch neglected. Fortunately, it is possible to create beautiful surroundings that require less care. Here are a few tips. First of all, be sure to choose plants that grow well in your
area and in your climate zone. A spectacular plant seen in the south may not necessarily give the same results in the north. If you buy perennials, opt for slow growing varieties. That way, you won’t have to divide the plants every two years. A gardening professional can help you find some good cultivars. • Be savvy with plant combinations. For example, plant tulips around hostas. The tulips will appear in the spring, but when their flowers fade, the hosta leaves will hide the yellowing leaves of the tulips. No need to prune them! Container gardening is another way to limit yard work. Weeding is done in a few minutes, compared with an hour or more to hoe flowerbeds. Mulch is a great way to limit the growth of weeds; it also helps the soil retain its moisture, which means less watering. Use quality tools. Just like in the kitchen, a dull, blunt blade can prolong the job at hand.
How to create flowerbeds around trees Keeping flowerbeds underneath trees can pose quite a challenge for gardeners — there is little light and water, poor soil, and too many roots. However, it is possible to adapt to these conditions and to find plants that can flourish in them.
Lack of light is the major drawback to creating flowerbeds around trees. The best solution is pruning. Removing the lowest branches will allow the sun to reach any plants. These few hours of sunshine are sufficient for many varieties.
Be sure to add compost to the garden soil and water regularly during hot weather. Fertilizers will also have to be added on a regular basis in order to ensure that your plants flourish.
Many perennials do well under trees. Look for asters, bergenia, lily of the valley, and hellebore. As for annuals, opt for foxglove, impatience, and lobelia. Nicely pruned boxwood is an attractive shrub that also gives good results.
Trees are ruthless when it comes to water. Most rain water is intercepted by a tree’s leaves and never reaches the ground. What’s more, tree roots absorb huge quantities of water from the ground, so it is crucial to dig very wide, deep holes when planting flowers at the base of a tree. Removing the lowest branches will allow some sun to reach your plants.

Fishing requires finesse An eye for detail can make all the difference to how many catches you land during a fishing trip. Experienced anglers can still land fish without much difficulty, even when fish are active and moving around. However, the time of year or weather conditions can modify the behaviour of fish and influence their feeding habits, making them more difficult to catch.
