Music Theater 

Works builds youth 

confidence on stage 

For the past 17 summers, 

children ages 8-13 have 

learned about musical theater 

firsthand at Music Theater 

Works in Wilmette. 

“I think it was Lucy who 

convinced me we really had 

a good thing going,” said 

General Manager Bridget 

McDonough when asked 

about her favorite memories 

of the company’s summer 

workshop programs. 

“Lucy was a sassier, more 

self-assured Nathan Detroit 

in ‘Guys and Dolls’ than 

any 10-year-old little redhaired 

girl had a right to be! 

“I was flabbergasted 

when I found out later 

that on the first day of the 

workshop, Lucy’s mom 

approached our director to 

say her daughter had never 

been on stage before and 

might need a little extra 

coaching and coaxing to 

get over her shyness. Believe 

me, on stage that girl 

was not shy!” 

Performing offers so 

many benefits to young 

people — it builds confidence, 

enhances observational 

and analytical skills, 

fosters teamwork, and, 

above all, is a lot of fun. 

At Music Theater Works, 

children get to sing, dance 

and act in a nurturing and 

fun atmosphere. No experience 

or audition is required, 

and everyone gets a part. 

“Our staff does a wonderful 

job giving each of 

the kids their moment to 

shine, regardless of their 

experience level,” Mc- 

Donough said. 

Young people ages 8-13 

learn from professional 

actors and counselors to 

prepare a performance of a 

mini-musical. 

“You’d be amazed at 

what these kids accomplish 

in only six days,” 

McDonough said. “I know 

Lucy’s parents were!” 

Five separate one-week 

workshops will be offered 

this summer, based 

on popular musicals. Each 

workshop is from 9 a.m.- 

3:30 p.m. Monday-Friday 

at the Music Theater Works 

rehearsal center, 516 4th 

St., Wilmette. On Saturday, 

students gather for a 

final dress rehearsal at 1 

p.m. and offer a free public 

performance for family and 

friends at 4 p.m. 

2018 schedule: 

• “The Sound of Music” 

(Sold out) 

• “Oklahoma!” July 16-21 

• “The Addams Family” 

July 23-28 

• “Once Upon a Mattress.” 

July 30-Aug. 4 

• “Mary Poppins” (Sold 

out) 

The fee is $380 per student 

per workshop. Scholarships 

are available based 

on need. 

In addition, a staged 

summer teen production 

of Cole Porter’s “Anything 

Goes” is offered for ages 

13-18 (June 11-29, with 

performance at 7:30 p.m. 

on June 29). Each role is 

individually cast from auditions. 

The production 

features professional costumes, 

sound and lighting. 

Fee is $1,275 per student.

four main elements: education, celebration, 

participation and appreciation. 

Here’s a preview of what to look forward 

to in 2019: 

Education 

• Glencoe 150 – Embracing the rich history 

of Glencoe, the stories of residents 

who have played significant roles in 

the establishment, development and 

growth will be heralded in various ways 

and events. 

• Virtual Village – The Glencoe Historical 

Society will be working to digitize the 

community’s history making it accessible

birthday party marking the actual day 

of incorporation in 1869. 

• Glencoe Open Doors (September 2019) 

– Places and spaces normally not open 

to the public will be opening their doors 

for tours. 

• Sesquicentennial Selfie Project – As a 

town of first names, residents will be 

encouraged to pose with Sesquicentennial 

Selfie Stations and share their 

photo and first name on social media. If 

you’re sharing about the celebration be 

sure to use the hashtags #Glencoe150 

and #MyTownGlencoe. 

• Sesquicentennial Gala (Oct. 19, 2019) 

– The Sesquicentennial Planning Committee 

will host an evening to remember 

at the Chicago Botanic Garden. 

Participation 

Glencoe residents will be asked to dedicate 

150 minutes to volunteer in some capacity 

within or representing Glencoe. 

Appreciation 

The Glencoe community will be engaged 

in defining, designing and securing 

funding for a legacy project to mark the 

milestone for generations to enjoy. Stay 

tuned for more information on how to 

share your ideas for the legacy project. 

While plans are steadily coming together, 

the Sesquicentennial Planning Committee 

still needs your help! The committee 

invites any individual interested in 

serving on a planning subcommittee to fill 

out the “Get Involved” form on the Glencoe 

150 splash page at glencoe150.org.

North Shore salon guarantees 

top-notch guest experience 

In every successful business, 

there is a heartbeat 

— a pulse that no matter 

how fast, stressed or chaotic 

things might be, is the 

glue that keeps it all together 

and the rest of the 

body going. 

At Pascal Pour Elle, that 

heartbeat is the front desk 

and its guest coordinators. 

They say that you never 

get a second chance at a 

first impression, and although 

the magic might 

happen behind the chair, 

your professional salon experience 

begins and ends 

with the front desk. 

The front desk coordinators 

have the knowledge, 

patience, training and experience 

to assist the clients, 

staff and management 

to make sure everyone has 

a great, smooth and enjoyable 

experience. Pascal 

Pour Elle’s front desk is 

up-to-date on all hair care 

products to help customers 

with any questions they 

may have and makes sure 

customers have all the tools 

needed to maintain looks 

beyond the chair. 

If you are new to the 

area, or the salon, the front 

desk workers will help you 

find an amazing stylist and 

colorist to explain all of the 

services they have to offer 

and help set up an amazing 

experience at the North 

Shore’s No. 1-voted premier 

salon!

North Shore Art League, 

the 94-year-old arts organization 

located in Winnetka, 

will be bringing its 

national juried show, Art 

in the Village, to Winnetka’s 

Hubbard Woods Park 

again this summer. 

On June 23 and June 24, 

the park will be bustling 

with artists from across the 

country exhibiting their 

works to enthusiastic art 

lovers. The park is a beautiful 

setting for a summer 

art fair, right in the middle 

of the Village’s Hubbard 

Woods Design District. 

This boutique show will 

have more than 65 artists 

from across the country 

exhibiting their works. 

League faculty member 

Lisa DePinto will be back 

painting quick oil portraits. 

Local food vendors will 

also be on site with their 

delicious offerings. Conveniently 

located along 

Green Bay Road, there is 

plenty of free parking. 

The league is locally 

well-known as an art 

school and arts organization, 

with close ties to the 

Art Institute of Chicago, 

Columbia College Chicago 

and many art galleries, 

schools and institutions 

throughout the area. This 

fifth annual Art in the Village 

show is always wellreceived 

by the village and 

surrounding communities 

that appreciate fine art. 

At the time it was 

founded, the league was 

one of the original arts 

organizations in the country. 

League members organized 

the popular Old 

Orchard Art Fair in Skokie 

in the ’50s (which ran for 

more than 45 years under 

NSAL leadership) and the 

New Horizons Art Shows 

held in Chicago during the 

’60s and ’70s. Bringing 

this fair to Hubbard Woods 

Park is like a homecoming 

of sorts as one of our 

very first outdoor shows in 

1955 was held in that same 

park. 

The league hopes to see 

you there this summer!

Christian education 

meets interactive 

kids programming 

Seeds of Grace, a preschool 

and Christian child 

development center in 

Northbrook, is a nonprofit 

ministry of Grace Evangelical 

Lutheran Church, 

which is dedicated to providing 

a childcare program 

of the highest quality designed 

to meet the needs 

of today’s parents. The 

school has been built on a 

rich tradition of Christian 

education for the past 50 

years, and most recently, 

the success of its 32-year 

tradition of the beloved 

Mustard Seed Preschool 

programs. 

At Seeds of Grace, each 

child is guided to develop 

to his/her potential in every 

aspect of life within the 

sheltering and nurturing 

relationships of Christian 

love. The center operates 

assuming each child is an 

individual and must be allowed 

to grow and learn at 

his/her own rate in order to 

develop a healthy self-image. 

It is the goal of Seeds 

of Grace to help each child 

to grow spiritually, emotionally, 

physically, socially 

and intellectually in 

their own unique way. By 

encouraging a strong sense 

of balance and trust, Seeds 

of Grace believes the center 

will make a lifelong 

difference with the children 

and families in the 

communities it serves. 

The Seeds of Grace program 

of early childhood 

education includes daily 

teaching activities, storytelling 

and books, math, 

science, music and movement, 

indoor and outdoor 

play, and Jesus time, as 

well as weekly chapel 

opportunities that are offered 

in an informational, 

home-like environment. 

Your child will be guided 

to start taking part in small 

and large group activities 

throughout a typical 

classroom day. This combination 

of experiences 

will broaden your child’s 

aptitude for future schoolwork, 

while allowing freedom 

for imagination and 

creativity. 

It is the goal of the Seeds 

of Grace curriculum to include 

opportunities for 

growth in all major developmental 

areas, as well 

as, creating a place where 

your children will feel 

happy, secure and loved. 

This year, Seeds of 

Grace Christian Child 

Development Center invites 

you to join for Summer 

Camp on Demand 

as the center finds itself 

S.T.R.E.A.M.ing into the 

lazy days of summer. Children 

ages 6-12 are welcome 

to come along as the 

center channels its energy 

for an exciting 10-week 

summer camp journey. 

Children will investigate 

and experience a variety 

of topics each week 

during camp. Additional 

S.T.R.E.A.M. (science, 

technology, religion, engineering, 

arts and math) activities 

will be emphasized 

throughout the summer to 

allow children to discover 

and explore God’s amazing 

world around them. 

Camp experiences will engage 

children in fine arts, 

athletics, games, projects 

and good old-fashioned 

summertime fun. Summer 

camp days will also be enriched 

with field trips, inschool 

shows, team building 

challenges and weekly 

water play days every Friday. 

Seeds of Grace looks 

forward to making great 

discoveries together about 

the amazing world all 

around us. Get your shoes 

tied and your backpacks 

ready to together into summer 

2018!

Northfield 

Township kicks 

hunger to the curb 

The Northfield Township 

Food Pantry believes that 

hunger is unacceptable in 

the community. For more 

than 45 years, the Northfield 

Township Food Pantry has 

been providing assistance 

to residents of Glenview, 

Northbrook and Northfield 

who are unable to provide 

enough food for themselves 

and their families. 

Food insecurity is a very 

real problem facing many 

township neighbors and 

their children, and it is not 

a seasonal issue. Residents 

who are struggling to provide 

enough food for their 

families in the winter will 

likely face those same 

struggles during the summertime. 

Today, more than 1,700 

township residents are 

able to visit the pantry 

each month to select perishable 

and nonperishable 

food items that best meet 

their families’ needs and 

to receive grocery store 

gift cards. The Northfield 

Township Food Pantry is 

truly a community pantry, 

entirely dependent on contributions 

for everything it 

distributes. 

No tax dollars are used 

to supply the pantry. 

Thanks to the generosity 

of financial and food donors 

and a dedicated corps 

of volunteers, the pantry 

provides essential support 

to residents who are experiencing 

hard times. 

The pantry’s annual fundraiser, 

Pantry Palooza, 

will immediately follow 

Glenview’s Summerfest 

on June 30 in the downtown 

Glenview Metra 

parking lot from 5:30- 

10:30 p.m. Headliner 

97Nine will provide live 

music, Pizano’s Pizza 

& Pasta and RioBamba 

food trucks will be selling 

foods, and drinks will be 

available for purchase. For 

just $10 per person at the 

door, guests can have a fun 

evening out while helping 

the community. 

The pantry is located 

at 2550 Waukegan Road, 

Suite 100 in Glenview and 

is open for donations from 

8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday, 

Tuesday, Wednesday 

and Friday and 8:30 a.m.-7 

p.m. Thursdays.

The Winnetka Music Festival wowed 

Chicago’s summer music scene in last 

year’s debut, and this year for Father’s 

Day weekend, it’s back — bigger and 

better. 

This premiere emerging artist showcase 

features 27 of the top indie acts from 

across the globe that will 

perform across five stages 

throughout Winnetka. These 

artists, coupled with an array 

of street buskers, will bring 

new music around every corner 

to the fans. 

Adjacent to Metra’s Winnetka 

station, it’s fun and family 

friendly. But, the best part 

may be the free admission. 

The Winnetka Music Festival 

opens June 15 with a 

concert featuring four bands ranging from 

country and rock to EDM, headlined by A 

Thousand Horses. 

Throughout the day and into the night 

on June 16, the BMO Harris, Fields Auto 

Group and the Chicago Cubs stages, as 

well as the Hudson Company family 

stage and the Lululemon/Spynergy chapel 

stage, will host an ongoing lineup, 

exclusively curated by music industry 

tastemaker Val Haller, Winnetka resident 

and CEO/founder of Valslist. A partial 

main stage roster includes Walker 

County, ASHE, Win + Woo, Andrew 

Belle, COBI, and the Seratones. Hot off 

of her highly acclaimed Storm Tour, ZZ 

Ward will wrap up the festival with a 

must-see finale performance. 

The Winnetka Music Festival’s new 

layout will include enhancements, such as 

18 additional food trucks and food courts, 

merchandise tables, more craft beer and 

wine options, and an additional 

main stage in the heart 

of Winnetka. There will also 

be engaging crafts and activities 

for kids between sets. 

For those who want a VIP 

experience, a limited number 

of tickets are being sold 

for the Jim Beam Lounge, 

which provides a haven from 

the crowds, direct access and 

premium seating for viewing 

the headliners on the Chicago 

Cubs Stage. 

The Winnetka Music Festival is easily 

accessible via the CTA, Metra and Green 

Bay Trail. Bike stations are also available. 

The Winnetka Music Festival is a true 

community effort. Volunteers and sponsors 

are vital to its success. The festival 

is created by the Village of Winnetka, 

Valslist, the Winnetka-Northfield Chamber 

of Commerce and the Winnetka Park 

District.

Regina international homestay 

program makes the North Shore home 

Many families would 

welcome a once-in-a-lifetime 

cultural experience 

they will always remember, 

usually by visiting 

distant places, learning 

new languages, trying new 

foods and meeting new 

people. 

What if you could have 

all of that amazing cultural 

exchange and learning 

experience without ever 

leaving the comfort of 

your home? Becoming a 

host family for an international 

student can do just 

that, and will change your 

life and family forever. 

Driven by this common 

purpose, Cambridge Network 

enables people to 

expand their perspectives 

through cross-cultural 

learning. This is at the 

core of the homestay program 

at Regina Dominican 

High School in Wilmette, 

and is made possible with 

Cambridge Network, an 

all-inclusive international 

student service provider 

supporting students, families 

and schools. 

Currently, a community 

of international students 

attending Regina Dominican 

continues to grow and 

the program will be expanding 

for the 2017-2018 

school year. Qualified and 

caring host families are 

welcomed on a rolling basis 

throughout the academic 

year to open their home 

to an international student. 

Students from around the 

world enjoy participating 

and learning more about 

American culture. In turn, 

families learn about a different 

cultural way of life 

and make a lifelong friend. 

Cambridge Network 

provides on-call support to 

students, hosts and member 

schools, striving to uphold 

high safety standards 

set forth by the Council on 

Standards for International 

Educational Travel, a professional 

member association 

committed to quality 

international educational 

travel and exchange for 

youth at the high-school 

level. Cambridge Network 

has a long achieved, full 

listing accreditation with 

CSIET through its rigorous 

annual audit process. 

Building a sense of community 

between hosts and 

students is key to a successful 

cross-cultural exchange. 


hosts are qualified 

and loving community 

residents who provide a 

private room, meals and 

transportation for each 

student. Approved Cambridge 

Network families 

host a student for one or 

two semesters and may 

welcome the same student 

in subsequent school 

years. 


host families receive a 

monthly stipend of $1,000 

per student to offset expenses 

incurred by adding 

another person to the 

home. Additional host 

family support services include 

access to an assigned 

local coordinator, emergency 

assistance when 

needed, and professional 

services from bilingual 

and bicultural staff should 

a situation require escalation 

beyond local support. 

Host families take part in 

orientations and events 

provided by Cambridge 

Network designed to develop 

a supportive local 

community.

Lake Forest art show to ring in Labor Day 

The 64th Annual Art Fair on the Square, the 

signature event for the Deer Path Art League,

This year, the event will be held from 10

jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, 

photography, sculpture and wood. 

Featured specialty booths will include the 

entrepreneurial Young Artists area with artisanal 

crafts, the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff 

Artslink tent highlighting more than 20 community 

arts nonprofits, live music at the Lake 

Forest Train Station, and the Information 

Tent, which details Deer Path Art League

creation and appreciation of art through a 

variety of classes and summer art camps at 

Gorton Community Center, exhibiting the 

Emerging Artist Exhibit featuring 13 area 

pre-kindergarten through grade 12 schools, 

and the awarding of a scholarship at Lake 

Forest High School. 

Hosting the Art Fair helps to fulfill the Art 

League mission to “spark, nurture and enhance 

creativity as well as raise community 

awareness and appreciation of the arts,” a

Awakenings Holistic Wellness promotes 

health through hands-on healing 

Kelly Moretta, owner of 

Awakenings Holistic Wellness, 

helps people move toward balance 

and wholeness with reiki 

bio-field energy therapy. 

Reiki is a Japanese hands-on 

healing technique that promotes 

overall health and well-being by 

restoring balance to the body’s 

energy system at physical, emotional, 

mental and spiritual levels. 

“Reiki is one of the fastest 

growing complementary healing 

techniques,” she said. “It is 

widely practiced in homes, clinics, 

hospitals, nursing homes and 

spas throughout the world.” 

Clinical studies have shown 

that reiki can relax the body, 

relieve pain, improve sleep, 

clear toxins and boost the immune 

system. Reiki benefits the 

healthy and those with illness 

and is valuable for all ages. It is 

widely used for stress management 

and relaxation. For people 

with chronic illness, regular 

treatments will help manage 

symptoms and enhance conventional 

treatment. 

Moretta works with her clients 

to customize each reiki session 

based on their specific needs because 

of her passion for helping 

others. 

Moretta is a reiki master in the 

Usui/Tibetian, Ascension and 

Reiju systems of healing, among 

other modalities. She holds certification 

with the International 

Association of Reiki Professionals 

and the International Center 

for Reiki Training. 

As the founder and coordinator 

of North Shore Reiki and 

Energy Healers, she has created 

a local community for both experienced 

energy healers and 

those interested in experiencing 

and learning about the benefits 

of reiki energy work. 

Moretta is also a reiki master 

teacher, offering certification 

classes for those wanting to enhance 

and empower their lives 

with this harmonizing energy. 

“Reiki’s gentle and nurturing 

energy is an ancient technique 

that is the wave of the future,” 

she said. “For those looking for a 

more holistic approach to health 

and wellness, the opportunities 

are endless.” 

Moretta discovered energy 

healing through her own need 

for healing. 

After leading a successful 

corporate management position 

while raising two young daughters, 

she suddenly found herself 

in need of medical help. The 

stress and demands of a fastpaced 

career and family life had 

taken its toll. She was diagnosed 

with an autoimmune condition 

similar to lupus that demanded 

she immediately pay more attention 

to herself. 

Doctors offered a host of pharmaceuticals, 

but she knew the 

key was in making life changes 

and embracing holistic mind and 

body wellness techniques to heal 

herself. 

“I began practicing yoga 

and meditation,” Moretta said. 

“Later, I received my first reiki 

session, and although initially 

skeptical, I immediately became 

a believer and an outspoken advocate 

of this transformative 

healing art.” 

Having experienced the profound 

healing that she did, her 

passion to share it with as many 

people as possible was ignited. 

Moretta left her corporate career 

and began studying different 

modalities of energy healing, 

advancing to master teacher with 

reiki as her chosen specialty. 

Along with her healing treatments, 

Moretta is also a certified 

yoga instructor. She often 

combines reiki, breath work and 

meditation with her clients for a 

truly transformative experience.

Now playing: Summer movie nights in your own backyard 

Statepoint media 

Looking for a way to get 

the most out of your summer 

evenings? Make it a night at 

the drive-in at home! With the 

right equipment and planning, 

you can easily enjoy your favorite 

movies under the stars, 

right in your own backyard. 

Here are a few simple steps for 

bringing your new favorite tradition 

to life. 

The setup 

Designing your outdoor 

screening space is a simple process. 

To begin, determine where 

your screen should be placed. 

You will want your screen positioned 

where there is minimal 

light once the house lights are off 

and the sun has set. There should 

be ample space for guest seating, 

and room for the projector’s image 

throw distance. For optimal 

image quality, your projector 

should be elevated. 

For seating, an assortment of 

lawn chairs, floor chairs, outdoor 

ottomans and outdoor rugs will 

accommodate preferences for 

guests of all ages. 

Since you will be limiting ambient 

light as much as possible, 

keeping pathways lit for safety 

purposes is a sensible exception. 

Solar LED pathway lights are 

a tasteful accent that will keep 

guests safe around tripping hazards. 

The basics 

Select the right projector. 

Since outdoor settings include 

a number of light sources that 

are not always within your 

control, such as street lights 

and moonlight, choosing a 

projector with the right lumen 

level for your space is critical 

for clear image projection. As 

a rule, the more ambient light 

in your backyard, the higher 

you will want your projector’s 

lumen level to be. 

The second component to 

consider is sound. No home theater 

system is complete without 

quality sound, and your outdoor 

screening experience is no exception. 

Your guests will appreciate 

an audio source with 

enough output to cut through 

ambient noise. 

For simplicity and convenience, 

consider an all-in-one 

outdoor movie theater kit, such 

as the one offered by Improvements, 

which is Wi-Fi enabled 

and features everything your 

backyard home theater needs, 

including a 1,200 lumen projector 

with 800x480 DPI, Bluetooth 

speaker and a 90-inch 

screen. 

The extra details 

Since you’ll most likely be 

waiting for the sun to set before 

starting the movie, get creative 

with activities for both kids and 

adults to pass the time. It’s a 

smart step to spray the area for 

bugs before guests arrive, and 

keep additional pest control solutions 

on hand. 

Hosting an outdoor movie 

party is a fun opportunity to put 

a twist on movie theater snacks, 

especially ideas that can be prepared 

in advance. However, fresh 

popcorn is an absolute must.

Three fun, fashionable 

color trends this summer 

Statepoint Media 

Whether you’re looking 

forward to attending a 

few special events or have 

a fun getaway planned, 

you’re probably wondering 

what key items you’ll 

need to add to your wardrobe 

for summer. 

The good news is that 

there’s no need to overhaul 

your entire closet. And, it’s 

easier than ever to incorporate 

on-trend pieces into 

your outfit of the day. 

This season’s most coveted 

colors are bright hues, 

pretty pastels and metallic 

tones, according to Nichole 

Duck, women’s buyer 

for fashion-forward retailer 

Off Broadway Shoe 

Warehouse. 

Here, she shares how to 

wear on-trend colors for 

any style: 

Metallics as neutrals 

Metallic accessories and 

footwear provide a versatile 

option for today’s 

fashion. Because metallics 

can mesh with a broad 

range of color palettes and 

design styles, they are the 

new neutral. 

Ideas to try: 

• Select a classic white T- 

shirt, skinny jeans and a 

pair of metallic slides for 

a comfy and casual look. 

• Wear a long floral dress 

with metallic sandals 

featuring rose gold or silver 

to make a statement. 

Bold and beautiful 

From berets to jumpsuits, 

bright hues are prevalent 

head to toe this season. 

Additionally, there’s a 

resurgence of on-trend apparel 

and accessories that 

have undoubtedly been 

inspired by somewhere 

over the rainbow. In fact, 

rainbow-striped knit tops, 

athletic track pants, crewneck 

sweaters and more 

are now all the rage. 

Ideas to try: 

• Pair a neutral, open-toed 

sandal with a pleated 

maxi rainbow skirt. 

• Balance casual jeans with 

a pair of stilettos in a favorite 

statement color. 

Vibrant red, ultra violet 

and electric blue shades 

can add a charge of energy 

to any outfit. 

Ice cream pastels 

This season, ready-towear 

fashion features a 

palette of ice cream pastel 

shades (think yellow sorbet, 

mint green and lilac 

hues). The possibilities to 

incorporate these colors 

into this season’s outfits 

are limitless. 

Ideas to try: 

• Combine a pair of pastel 

skinny jeans with a 

neutral kitten heel for a 

polished look. Shades of 

beige, coffee and gray 

all work well to complement 

the soft colors. 

• Try a fun, pointy-toed 

pump with a simple 

camisole and pair of 

jeans. 

“From running errands 

to enjoying a night on the 

town, this season’s color 

options offer variety and 

versatility for everyone’s 

personal style,” Duck said. 

To complete your summer 

look with today’s current 

trends, check out fashionable 

retailers offering 

thousands of options, such 

as Off Broadway. With 

more than 80 locations 

coast-to-coast, they offer 

high fashion styles from 

top designer and name 

brands. Visit offbroadwayshoes.com 

to shop online 

and get inspiration for 

venturing into the summer 

season in style. 

From head to toe, just 

a few essential on-trend 

pieces are all that’s needed 

to give your entire wardrobe 

a fresh summer reboot.

Summer laundry tips for 

fresher, cleaner clothes 


From grassy picnics and sweaty soccer 

games to saucy cookouts, clothes can be 

particularly vulnerable to all kinds of stains 

and odors during the warm weather months. 

Check out these tips for doing your 

laundry in a way that keeps clothes fresh 

and looking new as long as possible. 

Understand the basics 

Different stains require different cleaning 

agents, and unfortunately, there is no 

one single ingredient that cleans all kinds 

of stains well. For example, milk and grass 

stains require enzyme cleaners, while 

ink or wine stains require peroxides. Of 

course, clothes also need brighteners and 

detergents to come out looking their best. 

Understanding these basic principles can 

help you treat clothes more effectively. 

Pre-treat stains 

Stained clothing should be pre-treated 

with a tough, multi-faceted solution. Rub 

in pre-treatment gently and wait three to 

five minutes. Just be careful not to allow 

the solution to dry on the fabric. Some 

garments will need a longer pre-treatment. 

If so, add the solution to water and 

soak the soiled clothing in a bucket before 

washing as usual. 

Fight odor 

Select products that keep laundry fresh 

longer. For example, Dryel has an Odor 

& Wrinkle Releaser that provides an extra 

boost of clean. 

Extend the life of clothes 

Pair a great detergent with a laundry 

booster that can tackle multiple types of 

stains. For example, Biz has more stain 

fighters than other brands, while also 

brightening clothes. Available in powder, 

liquid and liquid boosters, independent, 

third-party tests have shown that Biz 

works 80 percent better than detergent 

alone. 

Read the tags 

When in doubt, referencing tags for 

washing and drying directions can help 

you best maintain a garment’s color, 

brightness and shape. More fresh laundry 

tips can be found at bizstainfighter.com.

Must-haves for summer pool and beach parties 

StatePoint Media 

Summer days are all 

about sun and fun. Here 

are some tips and accessories 

to make sure your days 

spent at the beach, pool or 

lake are picture-perfect for 

posting on social media. 

Say cheese 

Look great in all your 

summer photos by rocking 

your squint-free look. 

Get equipped with a pair 

of shades, a stylish sun hat 

or both. These accessories 

pull double-duty, protecting 

you from UV rays 

while keeping you cameraready 

at all times. 

Whatever floats your boat 

If you love lounging in 

the water, get ready to take 

your relaxation style to a 

whole new level and make 

the day spent with friends 

totally “Insta-worthy.” 

Join the likes of A-list 

celebrities with the hottest 

trend in summer fun — 

larger-than-life floats. The 

newest novelty floats introduced 

by Intex for this 

summer season include 

photo-realistic, high definition 

printing that looks 

just like the real thing, 

only way bigger. They 

have potato chip bag and 

french fry container floats, 

along with a pizza slice 

mat that allows everyone 

to float alone or join together 

and form one giant 

pizza float. Other new 

designs that will help you 

stand out from the crowd 

include the mega unicorn 

and peacock island floats, 

which can measure more 

than 9 feet. Durable, fun, 

trendy and easy-to-inflate, 

these are not your typical 

pool floats. They all are 

currently available at a 

store near you or at your 

favorite online retailer. 

Protect your tech 

Don’t leave your phone 

at home or at the bottom 

of your bag — protect it 

from the hot sun, sand 

and water with the right 

case. The best options will 

go beyond simple waterresistance 

to be fully waterproof, 

keeping phones 

protected even after full 

submersion, because you 

never know when you’re 

going swimming. With 

options that range from 

pouches to full-body cases, 

there are models to 

fit every need, and these 

days, your case can be 

customized to match your 

style using the design of 

your choosing. 

Wherever your summer 

fun takes you, don’t leave 

home without all the season’s 

essentials for good 

times, great posts and lasting 

memories.

Whether you’re shopping for Father’s 

Day or celebrating the accomplishments 

of a graduate, make a point of selecting 

thoughtful, unforgettable gifts this dads 

and grads season. Here are five ideas to 

get you started: 

1. The gift that keeps on giving. These 

days, there are monthly subscription 

boxes for just about everything. From 

stylish socks and slick grooming tools 

to jazz records to fine wine, take stock 

of your recipient’s interests and needs 

and give a gift that keeps on giving. 

2. The gift of form and function. A timepiece 

upgrade makes for a sophisticated 

yet functional gift that will keep your 

recipient on time for all appointments. 

Check out connected timepieces, such 

as the EDIFICE EQB800, which features 

Casio’s Smartphone Link capability. 

Pairing with a smartphone, the 

watch can access the correct time for 

more than 300 cities worldwide. Users 

also have the capability to swap their 

specified home time and world time, 

as well as update alarms and other time 

settings. By automatically syncing with 

a time server four times daily, the watch 

ensures ultimate accuracy. 

3. The gift of your company. A pair of event 

tickets is a great way to show your dad or 

grad that you want to spend time together. 

Whether it’s a day at the ballpark or your 

favorite band is coming to town, scope 

out the perfect event to attend together. 

4. The gift of entertainment. Is your dad or 

grad’s entertainment center in need of 

an upgrade? Consider gifting a projector 

for better gaming and movie nights. For 

a mercury-free option, check out Casio 

LampFree projectors, which combine 

a laser and LED light source for highbrightness 

and energy efficiency, using 

half the amount of power per unit than 

its traditional lamp-based counterparts. 

Those from the Advanced Series, like 

the XJ-F210WN, reach full brightness 

in as fast as five seconds and feature Intelligent 

Light Control to automatically 

adjust the projection brightness according 

to ambient light. This innovative 

feature will ensure that movie fans have 

spectacular visuals any time of day and 

in any lighting conditions. 

5. The gift of music. Has your gift recipient 

always wanted to play piano? 

Gift the tools needed for success. For 

beginner keyboard players, one good 

option for learning at home is Casio’s 

CT-X700, a portable keyboard featuring 

a Step-Up Lesson System that displays 

proper music notation and correct 

hand positioning, allowing beginners to 

learn songs at their own pace. The keyboard’s 

new AiX Sound Source faithfully 

reproduces the sound of acoustic 

instruments such as guitar, drums, bass, 

brass, wind instruments, string ensembles 

and more. Additionally, it includes 

an extensive library of 600 tones and 

195 rhythms.
