Lifetime learning experiences are as important for the canine family members as for the human members. Three experienced volunteers provide some of this continuing education for the canine family members (and their owner/trainers) by conducting a series of dog obedience training classes. Classes run for six consecutive weeks, and each weekly session has a separate kindergarten class for puppies and another class for adult dogs. Only “gentle and reward” training methods are used. The curriculum will include socialization, basic obedience, and when appropriate, behavior problems will be addressed. The final fifteen minutes of the hour-long classes include a “recess” period, during which the dogs and the trainers will develop confidence by having fun on the agility course, consisting of hurdles, ramps, tunnels, and a teeter-totter. Fee: $50 for six classes Mondays, 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. April 11 - May 16, 2011 To register call Donna Rae Pugh at 320-762-8980.

Aquatics 2011 Swim Lesson Information - Dates and Times on Page 11 - Page 15! The American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim courses offered through Lakes Area Recreation are designed to teach participants lifelong swimming skills and provide training in basic water safety and how to help a swimmer in distress. In addition to the skills outlined under each level, Learn-to-Swim courses are intended to provide a positive learning experience so participants can feel comfortable and enjoy the water safely. Because the Learn-to-Swim courses are progressive with each level building on skills previously learned, the prerequisite for each level is the successful demonstration of the skills from the preceding level, with the exception of Level One. To ensure participants are placed in the appropriate swim level, the first day of lessons is for skill level assessment. Participants will be expected to successfully demonstrate all of the completion requirements for the previous level before being able to continue on in the level they are enrolled in. Participants will be transferred up or down to a level that is more appropriate and better suited to meet their skill level and needs if the prerequisite skills are not met the first day of class. (Parents are asked to try and place participants in the appropriate level based on the previous year’s report cards or by the descriptions on page 12 - 14. Please call Lakes Area Recreation with any questions regarding level placement.)

A note to parents about your child’s class placement: Please understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Age is often a convenient marker used to understand and measure motor skill development, however an increase in age does not automatically result in improvement or acquisition of a skill. Differences in body size, knowledge, skills, learning styles, personalities, and experiences all affect individual skill development. It should be expected a child will repeat any given level several times before fully mastering all skills required at that level.

A short note to parents about your child’s class placement: It is very important to understand that all children acquire skills at different rates. Some children find it easy, while others take longer to make their bodies respond to what their brain is trying to tell them. Others may need to work on strength and flexibility. It should be expected that a child would take the same level class for about one year! A child should not feel pressured to move too quickly through the classes, especially if they are enjoying it! Minimum of four participants are required to hold a class. Office: (320) 762-2868 • Hotline: (320) 762-3010 Register at www.lakesarearecreation.com

Discovery Middle School Instructor: Reggie Ronning (Bethel University Student) After playing tennis for Alexandria as a two year varsity captain and graduating from JSHS, Reggie continued pursing his tennis career at Bethel University. Reggie will be a junior at Bethel in the fall of 2011. He has dedicated many hours to teaching individual and group lessons to younger athletes.

Reggie states: “Tennis is a life-long sport that can be enjoyed by all ages, especially youth. The main focus of this program will be learning the basic fundamentals of tennis and having tons of fun in the process. The more that I am around tennis, even at the college level, I believe that enjoying this game is the best thing you can accomplish as a player. I also agree that personal improvement of individual skills is a vital aspect of enjoying tennis.”
