By HANS OHRSTROM

Beautiful summer nights make for great opportu-nities to invite some friends over for a starry soi-ree under the nighttime sky. Unlike house parties, at which guests will be spending most of their time indoors and in various rooms throughout the house, outdoor parties are often limited to smaller areas, such as patios and backyards. This can make things much less taxing on hosts, who won’t have much prep work to do to get an out-door hosting area ready for party guests.

But even an impromptu party requires plan-ning and a little elbow grease before guests arrive. The following are a few areas to address before guests arrive for your next outdoor get-together.

Clear away debris

The walkways and patio may not need too much attention, but give them a once-over with a broom to clear any debris. When clearing the patio of debris, move all furniture, making sure to sweep up any debris, including food, that might have fallen beneath tables and chairs since your most recent party, or “al fresco” dinner. If the patio is especially dirty, consider power washing it to remove stubborn stains that can rob the area of its aesthetic appeal.

Clean the furniture

Whether it’s been months since your last party on the patio or just a few days, the furniture must be cleaned. Unless items have been stored in a garage or shed, patio furnishings are exposed to the elements, and that means dirt, soil, soot or pollen may have accumulated on the furniture. Wipe down all cushions, using a mild detergent when necessary. Cushions may need some time to dry, so make this one of your first tasks, and leave cushions out in the sun so they dry more quickly. Once the cushions have been cleaned, wipe down the furniture with a wet towel to clear them of any dirt or debris.

Clean and inspeCt the grill

The grill is a go-to accessory when hosting an outdoor party, so give the grill a thorough clean-ing before the first guests arrive. Nothing brings a party to a halt like hunger, and guests may begin to grow antsy if they are not served food in a rea-sonable amount of time.

If you are using a propane grill, check to make sure the tanks are full as you clean the grill. Run-ning out of propane is a summer soiree faux pas, so you might want to keep an extra tank handy just to be safe.

Clear the entryway

to your home Your guests will likely be using the same entry-

way over and over again during the party, so focus on cleaning this entryway so guests don’t trip or have to jump over toys on their way to an indoor restroom. Once the entryway has been cleared of potential tripping hazards, make sure the indoor path to the restroom is clear as well.

Hosting guests for an outdoor get-together is one of the highlights of the summer, as the good weather doesn’t always last. A little bit of prep work will leave your guests impressed with your outdoor space.

Safety tips for a fun summerSummertime allows homeowners the

opportunity to spend quality time outdoors. While the warm weather brings along lots of outdoor enjoyment, there are also potential dangers to be avoid. By planning ahead and taking precautions you can ensure safety hazards don’t spoil your fun. The following summer safety advice is courtesy of the Ontario Real Estate Association and your local REALTOR.

Grill safetySummertime means backyard barbecues. But,

grilling on or near combustible areas can be a fi re hazard. The most common grilling hazards are open fl ames and heat generated in the grill base that can be transferred to the wood of a porch, deck or siding, causing a fi re. When grilling, follow these safety tips:

• Place the grill away from siding, deck railings and out from under eaves and overhanging branches

• Periodically remove grease or fat buildup• Use only proper starter fl uid and store the

can away from heat sources• Check propane cylinder hoses for leaks

before use• Do not move hot grills• Dispose of charcoal properly, keeping

ash containers outside and away from combustible construction

Water safetyStay safe on the water this year whether it be

swimming in a backyard pool or in a lake. The Canadian Red Cross offers swimming lessons and water safety courses for people of all ages. Here are a few water safety tips from the Red Cross. For more information visit www.redcross.ca.

• Learn to swim. The best thing anyone can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim--this includes adults and children.

• Never leave a child unobserved around water. Your eyes must be on the child at all times. Adult supervision is recommended.

• Install a phone by the pool or keep a cordless phone nearby so that you can call 9-1-1 in an emergency.

• Learn Red Cross CPR and insist that babysitters, grandparents, and others who care for your child know CPR.

• Enclose the pool completely with a self-locking, self-closing fence with vertical bars. Openings in the fence should be no more than four inches wide. If the house is part of the barrier, the doors leading from the house to the pool should remain locked and be protected with an alarm that produces sounds when the door is unexpectedly opened.

• Never leave furniture near the fence that would enable a child to climb over the fence.

• Always keep basic lifesaving equipment by the pool and know how to use it. Pole, rope, and personal fl otation devices (PFDs) are recommended.

• Keep toys away from the pool when it is not in use. Toys can attract young children into the pool.

• Pool covers should always be completely removed prior to pool use.

• If a child is missing, check the pool fi rst. Go to the edge of the pool and scan the entire pool, bottom, and surface, as well as the surrounding pool area.

Sun safetyProtect yourself and your family against

sunburn and the potential risk of skin cancer by following a few simple tips:

• Apply sunscreen with at least a SPF-15 or higher, to all exposed areas of the body

• Minimize your exposure to the sun between the hours of 10:00AM and 3:00PM, when the sun is strongest

• Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days and especially after swimming or perspiring.

• Wear clothing that covers your body and shades your face -- like a hat!

• Avoid exposure to UV radiation from sun-lamps or tanning parlors.

Bug safetyThe Ontario Ministry of Health is urging

people to protect themselves against the threat of West Nile Virus. The best way to avoid this potentially dangerous virus is to avoid being bitten by infected mosquitoes. Here are a few practical suggestions to lower your risk:

• Clean up and empty containers of stagnant water, such as old tires, fl ower pots, wheelbarrows, barrels or tin cans that are outdoors. Drill holes in the bottoms of used containers so water can’t collect. Change water in bird baths weekly.

• Collect lawn cuttings, raked leaves or other decaying debris, such as apples or berries that fall from trees, and recycle or mulch so

that organic matter does not end up in storm sewers as a food source for mosquito larvae. Turn over compost frequently.

• Check window screens for holes and make sure they fi t snugly into the window frame so mosquitoes will not get indoors. If you don’t have screens, consider keeping windows closed between dusk and dawn.

• Make sure you wear light-coloured clothing such as long-sleeved shirts or jackets and long pants. Tuck pants into socks for extra protection when going outside between dusk and dawn.

• Use insect repellent containing DEET that has been approved for use in Canada (It will have a PCP number on the front label) and follow directions for use carefully.

Curb appeal can help a home get no-ticed in a bustling real estate market. Curb appeal can also contribute to the aesthetics of a neighbourhood for resi-dents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable in-terior.

Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these five simple strategies, anyone’s home can take on a more appealing look.

Clean upA messy, untamed front yard can de-

tract from a perfectly acceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s ex-terior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walk-

ways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can improve curb appeal instantly.

Spruce up the lawnA well-manicured lawn can go a long

way to making a home more appealing. If your thumb is anything but green, hire a professional lawn and garden service to help you establish a lush, green lawn.

Dress to impressThe entryway to a home is the first

thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of colour can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colourful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents,

such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terra-cot-ta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional.

Rely on symmetrySymmetry is pleasing to the eye and

easy to arrange. Use it to frame your en-tryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items re-ally can have an impact.

Don’t forget lightingOutdoor lighting adds appeal and
