Summer
Health Guide from the Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department
Summer (especially this summer) is a great time to enjoy outdoor activities like family picnics, playing and swimming. However, as families spend more time active outside, you need to be mindful of the potential dangers that come along with hot, humid temperatures: mosquitoes, ticks and illnesses related to heat and swimming. Here are some tips to have a safe and healthy summer...
Mosquitoes
more easily.
Mosquitoes can cause bites that are not only itchy and annoying, but can potentially spread disease, like the Zika virus and West Nile virus. To protect your family from mosquito bites:
• Conduct tick checks on yourself, children and pets every four to six hours for several days after being in a tick-infested area. Ticks tend to attach in the following areas: under the arms, around the waist, behind the knees, between the legs, inside the belly button and in hair.
• Use insect repellent containing DEET and follow all directions and precautions on the label. Use just enough to cover exposed skin and/or on clothing. Parents should apply this product to their children, ages 2 months and older, avoiding hands, eyes and mouth. After returning indoors, wash treated skin with soap and water. Wash treated clothing before wearing again. Do not spray in enclosed areas. • Insect repellents containing DEET should not be used on children under 2 months of age. Oil of lemon eucalyptus products should not be used on children under 3 years of age. • Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens. Repair or replace screens that have holes. Try to keep doors and windows shut, especially at night. • Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flower pots, buckets and barrels. Change the water in outdoor pet dishes and replace the water in birdbaths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used. Ticks Tick season peaks at the height of summer’s heat. In Kansas, ticks are prone to carry four diseases: Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Ehrlichiosis and Tularemia. Ticks lurk in tall grasses and bushy areas and then climb aboard humans as they walk by. Some ticks will attach quickly and others will wander looking for an area where the skin is thinner. They must be attached for more than 24 hours before they can transmit infection; therefore, finding and removing all ticks in a timely manner is critical to preventing disease. To help protect against ticks: • Avoid wooded and bushy areas with tall grass and leaf litter. • Keep grass cut and underbrush thinned in yards. • Wear light-colored clothing so that ticks are easier to see and remove. • Tuck pant legs into socks and boots. Wear long-sleeved shirts buttoned at the wrist. Tuck shirts into pants to keep ticks on the outside of clothing. • When outdoors, use insect repellent containing DEET and follow all directions and precautions on the label. • Bathe or shower as soon as possible after coming indoors, preferably within two hours, to wash off ticks and find them
• Remove ticks as quickly as possible. The best method is to use tweezers and pull upward with steady, even pressure. After removing the tick, thoroughly clean the bite area and your hands with rubbing alcohol, an iodine scrub or soap and water. • If you find a tick on your body, jot down the date it was discovered. If symptoms such as a rash, fever, headache, joint or muscle pains or swollen lymph nodes appear, contact your doctor as soon as possible. Tick-borne diseases can cause mild symptoms treatable at home with antibiotics to severe infections requiring hospitalization. Heat Heat-related illness happens when the body’s temperature control system is overloaded. Infants and children up to 4 years of age are at greatest risk. Even young and healthy people can get sick from the heat if they participate in strenuous physical activities during hot weather. To prevent heat-related illness: • Never leave infants, children or pets in a parked car, even if the windows are cracked. • Dress infants and children in loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Schedule outdoor activities for morning and evening hours. • Take cool showers or baths. Sun Just a few serious sunburns can increase you and your child’s risk of skin cancer later in life. Their skin needs protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays whenever they’re outdoors. To prevent sunburns: • Cover up. Clothing that covers you and your child’s skin helps protect against UV rays. Clothes made from tightly woven fabric offer the best protection. • Wear a hat. Hats that shade the face, scalp, ears and neck are easy to use and give great protection. • Use sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 and UVA and UVB protection every time your child goes outside. Be sure to follow application directions on the bottle or tube. It’s best to apply sunscreen generously 30 minutes before going outdoors. • Wear sunglasses that block close to 100 percent of both UVA
and UVB rays as possible.
• Take bathroom breaks every 60 minutes. Check diapers every 30 to 60 minutes.
• Limit exposure. UV rays are most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Wash your hands after using the toilet or changing diapers.
Water related illnesses
Drowning
Recreational water illnesses are caused by germs spread by swallowing or having contact with contaminated water in swimming pools, hot tubs and spas, interactive fountains, lakes or rivers.
Every day, 10 people die from drowning, and of those, two are children ages 14 and younger. Of drowning victims who survive and are treated in emergency rooms, more than half are hospitalized or transferred for further care. These individuals often experience brain damage, which can cause memory problems, learning disabilities or permanent loss of basic functioning. To prevent drowning:
Contrary to popular belief, chlorine and other disinfectants do not kill germs instantly. While most germs are killed within minutes, Cryptosporidium can live for days. Before they are killed, these germs can cause illnesses, such as gastrointestinal, skin, ear, respiratory, eye, neurologic and wound infections. The most commonly reported recreational water illness is diarrhea caused by germs such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, Shigella, Norovirus and E. coli. Swallowing just a mouthful of water that contains these germs can make you sick. Here are a few simple and effective steps all swimmers can take: • Stay out of the water if you have diarrhea.
• Designate an adult to watch children swimming or playing around water. Adults should not be involved in any other distracting activity. • Use life jackets appropriately. Don’t use air-filled or foam toys, such as noodles or inner tubes, instead of life jackets because they are not designed to keep swimmers safe. • Avoid alcohol when swimming, boating or supervising children.
• Shower before you get in the water. • Don’t swallow the water you swim in.
• Know the local weather conditions and forecast before swimming or boating. LK

SummerReadingSuggestions from
Dan Coleman at the LawrencePublicLibrary Mama, Is It Summer Yet? by Nikki McClure A child waits for summer as the seasons slowly change, and Nikki McClure’s distinctive cut paper illustrations give his longing a timeless quality. The Longest Day: Celebrating the Summer Solstice, by Wendy Pfeffer and Linda Bleck What exactly is summer, anyway? Learn the science in this wonderful explanation of the Earth’s orbit and tilt, complete with activities and descriptions of how the solstice is celebrated in cultures around the world. The Hike by Alison Farrell Three young naturalists go hiking by themselves, their “favorite thing to do.” Complete with field notes, this picture book shows how the outdoors can mean freedom to kids, and how much fun it can be to fill a notebook with observations and drawings. Sam and the Firefly, by P.D. Eastman Sam the owl meets a firefly named Gus in this classic easy reader about one of summer’s iconic creatures. Water in the Park: A Book About Water and the Times of the Day, by Emily Jenkins and Stephanie Graegin One of my all-time favorite picture books, Water in the Park begins at dawn and follows a single day in a busy urban park, as kids and dogs come and go and rain washes the heat away after the sun sets. Brooklyn’s Prospect Park was the model for the park in the book, but it has always reminded me of Lawrence’s South Park. Goldfish on Vacation, by Sally Lloyd Jones and Leo Espinosa Another fanciful urban tale, this picture book tells how kids in one neighborhood cleaned up a community fountain and gave their goldfish “vacations” each year by depositing them in it for the summer a perfect excuse for young and old to gather and visit. Jangles: A Big Fish Story, by David Shannon In this fish story to end all fish stories, a legendary trout has skunked so many fishermen over the years that a jangling collection of their lures hangs from his lower jaw. When a young boy manages to catch him, Shannon’s gorgeous paintings take us all the way to the bottom of
the pond and back. Over and Under the Pond, by Kate Messner and Christopher Silas Neal Another trip to the pond, this volume of Messner and Neal’s Over and Under informational picture book series contains a more realistic depiction of the creatures who live in and around the water, ranging in size from caddisfly larvae to moose. Out of the Box: 25 Cardboard Engineering Projects for Makers, by Jemma Westing “What can I do?” The age old summer question. Grab this book, a cardboard box and get busy. Publisher DK puts out some of the best activity books for kids around. To make stuff out of more than just cardboard, try some of their other books, like Maker Lab, Maker Lab Outdoors, Stem Lab, Tech Lab, and Junior Maker. My New Team, by Ryan and Krystle Howard, and Erwin Madrid Nothing says summer like the crack of a bat, and Philadelphia Phillies legend Ryan Howard and his wife, Krystle, knocked it out of the park with their Little Rhino early chapter book series, of which this is the first of six books. A third grade version of Ryan Howard learns to play first base on a team with boys and girls his age, picks up life lessons from his wise grandfather and plays in some of the most suspenseful, realistically written baseball games I’ve ever read. Camp, by Kayla Miller Kayla Miller continues her graphic novel series about tween best friends Olive and Willow as their friendship is tested over the summer at sleepaway camp. Accessible illustrations and issues make this a relatable friendship story for fans of other popular comic storytellers like Raina Telgemeier and Victoria Jamieson. One Crazy Summer, by Rita Williams Garcia Sometimes summer holds surprises, as in this middle grade novel, which won a slew of honors, including the Coretta Scott King Award. Delphine and her two younger sisters hope for a trip to Disneyland, but find something much more interesting as they travel from Brooklyn to California during the historic summer of 1968.

Surviving Covid
Amy Carrillo tells the tale of the “fight of her life” battling COVID-19. photos by Amber Yoshida
“There were times, multiple times, that I thought I was going to die,” Amy Carrillo says. “It was the scariest thing I’ve ever been through.” Amy is a lot of things: wife, mom to 4, successful business coach, Adult Services Officer and most recently, a COVID-19 survivor. Carrillo battled the virus for more than two months, describing the experience as “horrifying.” In mid-March, as the world was beginning to shut down in an effort to battle COVID-19, Amy didn’t feel well and spent the day in bed. The next day she heard that a co-worker’s husband had tested positive for the virus. At that point less than 100 peolple had died from the virus in the United States. “Not much was known in Lawrence about the virus,” Carrillo explains. “This was right when schools and businesses had started to shut down and accurate, reliable information was pretty hard to find. When we learned that a co-worker’s husband had tested positive, all of us at the office were told to assume we also had the virus.” Carrillo wasn’t worried about contracting the virus, or what effect it would have on her if she ever did test positive. She’s a healthy, active 42 year-old. She does yoga, runs and even did an Ironman triathlon when she was pregnant. It didn’t take long for that confidence to turn to fear. “Starting right around spring break I was in bed for a month, and I’m not exaggerating,” Carrillo said. “I think it was a Saturday that I started to feel kind of fatigued and spent most of the day in bed. But, honestly, I didn’t think much of it. We’re a busy family so feeling tired can be pretty normal. That Monday I woke up feeling fine and that’s when the roller coaster really started.” Carrillo says her entire experience with COVID-19 has been like a weird roller coaster. She would feel fine for a few hours and then the fatigue, muscle aches and shortness of breath would wipe her out. Nights, she says, were the worst. “I woke up almost every night with sharp pains and pressure in my chest,” she explains. “I’d wake up in a panic with stabbing pains. Jason had to talk me down from panic attacks a few times.” Jason, her husband, says watching his wife battle the virus was an emotional experience. “I tried to be a steady, calm resource for Amy,” he says. “We knew that, for the most part, healthy younger people were not dying from the virus. Amy is a fighter and the most determined person I know, so I was confident she would be okay. The most frustrating part, other than having Amy feeling terrible, was the misinformation that was rampant.” Amy admits she may have gone down a few internet rabbit holes while she was quarantined in their bedroom.
“I had nothing else to do,” she says with a laugh. “I think I watched everything on Netflix. Social media was both a blessing and a curse then. Of course I am so thankful for all my friends that sent messages, but I would spend too much time reading stories and theories about the virus online. That took me to some dark places. I did join a couple COVID-19-Positive Facebook groups and it was helpful to hear from other people going through this experience.” A week after Amy first started feeling down, she began to feel better (she had not actually been tested yet). She spent a day out of her bedroom, read a book and was hopeful she was on her way back. The next day she woke with her worst chest pains yet and was advised to get to the emergency room. “I wasn’t admitted to the hospital. The staff was great but told me, essentially, that they couldn’t do anything for me. They administered a COVID-19 test and sent me home,” she says. “The next day I was told I tested positive for the virus.” The next two weeks were a constant fluctuation of hope when she was feeling better and fear when she was short of breathe or felt the pressure in her chest. “I couldn’t taste or smell anything,” Amy says. “Some days I couldn’t sleep much and was too tired to do anything productive. Others I felt like I was improving. It was frustrating and scary. I really started to wonder if I would ever feel normal again and I was worried about how this was affected my kids.” Jason explains the kids were worried, but he and Amy worked to assure them that Mom would be fine, eventually. “We were all home, obviously,” Jason says. “The kids got along well and started to help a bit more around the house, which was a nice change. Our youngest would snuggle with Amy in bed sometimes and I think that helped both of them feel a little better about the situation.” After about a month, Amy began to have more good days than bad days. Her breathing became less shallow, her energy slowly returned and the headaches became less frequent. Now, she says, she thinks she’s out of the woods and is looking forward to the future, but still can’t excercise and easily looses her breath. She searches for optimism as her symptoms persist. “I can’t express enough how terrifying this experience has been,” she says. “I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.” Her lasting advice for families in Lawrence? “Stay safe, take care of each other and wear a mask,” she says emphatically. “Just wear a damn mask.” LK
Sewing
Influence
Former Lawrence Kid Catherine Bell is building a business by passing on her passion for sewing.
Mildred Bell knew when her daughter, Catherine, was young that she was going to be a teacher. “I don’t think she believes me now, but I knew when she was 6 or 7 years old that she would be a teacher,” Bell says. “I didn’t forsee her teaching sewing. I’m really so proud of her and the work she’s doing. I know those kids love her and I know she loves what she’s doing.” Catherine Bell is the owner and sewing instructor at Sew Simple Sewing, a Lawrence business that teaches kids the art of sewing and clothes design. “I’m so happy to be doing this for a living,” Catherine says with enthusiasm. “I really feel blessed.” Catherine’s passion for sewing and fashion design began early. Some of her first memories are of her mother sewing, designing and making alterations for her brothers and sisters (she’s the 8th of 11 kids) and others. While most of her siblings couldn’t care less about the process, Catherine was fascinated by watching her mother work. “I remember sneaking downstairs after bedtime to watch my mom sew,” Catherine explains. “I just loved everything about it. I would ask a lot of questions and wanted to know what she was doing, why she was doing it and how to do it.” Mildred Bell has vivid memories of those times when Catherine was suppose to be in bed. “Oh, yes, I remember her not sleeping,” she says with a laugh. “She was the only one of our kids that really took an interest in sewing. I think I knew early on that she would do something involving design and construction.” Catherine took a few sewing classes while at Lawrence High School and it wasn’t long before she had outgrown the instruction. In fact, her sewing instructor asked her if she would do alternations for her. Soon, Catherine began designing her own pieces and people started to notice. “My teachers would stop me in the hall and ask me about what I was wearing,” she says with a laugh. “I think when people at school started asking me to alter their clothes or even design something original a light bulb went off in my head. I mean, my teachers were paying me to do this, so that’s when I really started to consider it as a possible career path.” Catherine graduated from Johnson County Community College with an Apparel Design and Technology degree and spent time in New York City shadowing design teams from J. Crew, Victoria’s Secret, Ralph Lauren and others. Her mother had long had a business (Properwear) designing and alternating clothes, so Catherine starting working with her mother.
She sewed, hemmed and designed her own pieces. “I’ve always said fashion should inspire, not exploit people,” Mildred says. “Clothes don’t make the person. I’ve never tried to be fashionable. I’ve raised my kids to know the difference between fads and fashion that compliments.” One day, a client asked Catherine if she would teach her granddaughter to sew. Catherine had never considered the idea. “I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t know how to teach,’” she says with a big laugh. “But she was persistent so I agreed to give it a shot. I actually really enjoyed it. That’s when we had the idea to start individual classes.” The idea took off quickly. Soon, Catherine was designing birthday parties and fielding requests for more classes. Properwear had some room in their building for extra sewing machines, so Catherine and Mildred decided to add sewing instruction to their business model. “I really enjoy helping kids learn this skill that they can use for the rest of their life,” Catherine says. “It’s really rewarding to see kids’ confidence grow from not having any idea what they’re doing to having created an apron or doll clothes or something else completely on their own.” Classes are generally a week long and each revolves around the construction of a predetermined item. One week it might be an apron, the next a shirt, etc. Classes are grouped by skill level ranging from beginners who have no idea what a sewing machine is to advanced classes in which Catherine acts as more of an advisor on projects the students are developing. Though the pandemic has affected enrollment slightly, Catherine is excited about the future. She and her mom are planning more classes (Catherine teaches, Mildred “occasionally stops in”) and possible expansions. “I’m having a lot of fun with these classes,” Catherine says. “When I decided to make a career out of sewing, never did I imagine a big part of it would be teaching kids, but it’s been so much fun. I’m really excited about the future. It feels really great to see a kid light up when they realize what they can do and what they can make. I have kids that now come into class with things they’ve made at home, out of class. That’s so cool.” For Mildred, the success of Sew Simple Sewing seems natural. “Catherine has a wonderful heart and is a tremendous seamstress, so I’m not surprised she’s a successfull teacher,” she says. “But I’m most proud of the person Catherine is and the positive impact she’s having on these kids.” LK
In the wake of recent tragedies inflicted on black bodies across our nation, the Black Lives Matter movement swells with surging protests this summer. I’m doing my best to support, listen and learn as an anti-racist person, but as a parent I grapple with how to best explain these events to my 6- and 9-year-old. We continually have talks about race, racism, and anti-racism as a family, but there remains a disconnect in their understanding of today’s current events. How do I teach them about this crucial movement in a way that truly resonates, especially during a pandemic that has us mostly isolated except for walks around our neighborhood? We can walk or bike to significant locations around town to connect them to notable people and events in Lawrence’s history to highlight the history of injustices against black lives in our country. These walking tour locations were researched over several days. This list is far from all relevant locations that pertain to the pursuit of equality among people of color. Not long ago I shied away from talking about race with my kids. I continue to challenge my own ignorance on this topic. I’m not an expert, nor am I a historian. I’ve found reading is crucial to empathy, understanding and broadening my family’s and my own worldview. In facing our own history and ignorance, we grow, we learn, we share and we evolve as a community. The Ballard Center, (formally Lincoln School) - 708 Elm Lincoln School, the formerly segregated school for black elementary students of Lawrence resides in North Lawrence. Originally located at 7th and Lincoln St., and then later erected at 7th and Elm St where the current structure resides. In 1894 the Supreme Court ruled “separate but equal” was constitutional and eventually segregation became common practice. After the Supreme Court ruling of Brown v. Board of Education declared all schools to be desegregated in 1954, Lincoln School was integrated into Woodlawn Elementary School in 1955. The building is now the residence of The Ballard Center, a non-profit providing early education and life assistance to those in need. Kansas River Bridge - 6th and Massachusetts On the southeast sidewalk near City Hall, a wooden staircase entrance will lead you under the bridge. Walking down these stairs and looking towards the river you’ll see a large stone wall, the remains of the original bridge built in 1864. In the summer of 1882, three black men suspected of killing a white man were lynched without trial by a mob of white men. This is one of the more difficult, lesser known historic markers to talk about, but that is also why it needs to be addressed. Lynchings of black individuals without trial happened in cities across the country, but are often swept under the history carpet. St. Luke A.M.E. Church, 900 New York Organized in 1862 and built in 1910, St. Luke A.M.E.
A BLM Walking Tour for Families story and photos by Rebecca Zarazan Dunn
Church has been a beacon of the black community since the city’s early inception. Free and escaped slaves, many arriving in Lawrence through the Underground Railroad, established the congregation which grew as migrating families moved to the area after the Civil War. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Langston Hughes childhood homes: 732 Alabama & 731 New York The famed poet Langston Hughes lived in Lawrence during his youth, first with his grandmother (732 Alabama) and then with the Reed family after his grandmother’s death (731 New York). Both homes are no longer present but do have historic markers indicating their location. For the years he lived in Lawrence, Hughes attended services and Sunday school at St. Luke A.M.E. Church. I recommend reading his poem “I, Too” before or after visiting. Municipal Stadium, 11th and Delaware “East Lawrence Waltz”, a community mural on Municipal Stadium in Hobbs Park, depicts the origins of Lawrence from its conception to the civil war movement. Langston Hughes’ poem “Youth” hovers above vivid, colorful imagery. The mural depicts indigenious peoples pre-settlement, the city’s anti-slavery origins, the Underground Railroad, the Quantrill Massacre, St. Luke A.M.E. Church, protests during the civil rights movement, as well as recent protests and resistance among other themes. It’s a springboard for many conversations. Lawrence High School, 1901 Louisiana In April of 1970, 50 black students locked themselves in the main office of the high school to protest discrimination and inequality within the school and demanded more black teachers and more black students, inclusion in extracurricular activities and inclusion of black history/studies in the school’s curriculum. This was one of many protests organized by students between 1968 and 1970, several of which were met with police intervention and tear gas. Watkins Museum of History, 1047 Mass Opening June 26, 2020 Watkins Museum will host “Days of Rage: The 1970 curfew.” The exhibit is associated with The Lawrence 1970 Project, a 50-year commemoration of that year’s pivotal events in Lawrence’s history including race and civil rights.
