taking the plunge The Outdoor pool goes to the dogs

t’s the later part of the dog days of summer, and at the Lawrence Outdoor Aquatic Center the sound of pitter-patter tapping surrounds the deck area. The loud splashes of water abound. Shouts of names fill the air, which get the attention of little ones by the noticeable tilted heads and curious expressions. It seems like a typical day at the pool. However, the pool closed for the season the day previous to this day. There are also no swimsuits needed by participants at this event as the loud shrieks of whimsical folly have been replaced by echoing sounds of short, sharp excited barks. This year, as well as the previous eight seasons, Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department has let the closing of the outdoor pool go to the dogs…literally. The event was developed from a magazine story passed down from then City Manager Mike Wildgen to then Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation Tom Wilkerson to Jimmy Gibbs, aquatic manager, about a pool in the

Pacific Northwest that opened to patrons’ pets the last day it was in operation before it was drained and winterized for the season. Gibbs said that although he isn’t totally 100 percent certain, Lawrence’s Pooch Plunge may have been first of its kind in the state, if not the region. Back then, when he was trying to come up with a name for the event, he searched the Internet and couldn’t find anything documented on public swimming pools that opened its waters for pets to swim. It was at a staffing that the name “Pooch Plunge” was derived. “The name came in a staff brainstorming session,” Gibbs said. “I can’t remember what any of the other names were, but we all knew it was the name to go with when it was said. Today if you Google ‘pooch plunge’ you’ll find a lot of places with their event named ‘pooch plunge’.” Gibbs said over the nine years, he’s fielded phone calls from other communities across the country interested in the event. Some calls

By Roger Steinbrock

were just out of curiosity, he said, but the majority of them were looking at how to stage such an event. “Most calls were from professionals with operational questions,” Gibbs said. “They had some very specific questions, but there were things I would always add that they hadn’t thought of - those things that you only find out once your run an event like this. “ The first Pooch Plunge had around 100 dogs participate in the event, but the crowd was a lot larger than that, numbering more than 500, because of all the people that just wanted to see how this event was going to work, Gibbs said. Lynn and Bob Basow and their Vizsla, Dolly, have attended every year and Lynn said she decided to participate because it just looked like fun. “What a wonderful activity (to have) the day after the pool closes,” Basow said. “When we mention it to people outside Lawrence, they

Pets are part of the family in a pet owner’s family. This is an event for them that everyone enjoys.”

Jimmy Gibbs are jealous that we have such a fun pet event.” Gibbs said the event has moved from the “hey, this is cool” stage to a real community tradition. “We have new people coming to it every year,” Gibbs said. “Pets are part of the family in a pet owner’s family. This is an event for them that everyone enjoys.” Jai Hoyer is the division’s aquatic programmer and has organized eight of the nine Pooch Plunges. She said the event has remained pretty consistent over the years and that the event’s success rests largely in those who attend. “Everyone’s dogs who attend have been well behaved,” Hoyer said. “We’ve never had any dogs get in a fight either. The owners do a great job in controlling their animals. It really is a fun event and has truly become a Downtown Lawrence tradition.” Emilie Swartz has taken her Golden Retriever mix, Oliver, to the Pooch Plunge the past four years. She thinks the event has been successful because Lawrence is a friendly, animal-loving community. “I know people who don’t have a dog, but they go to the Pooch Plunge because it’s fun to watch,” Swartz said. “It’s just really a great event.” Owners who have attended multiple

years have also seen changes in their dog’s reaction to participating. Swartz said Ollie didn’t swim the first year. Instead he chased other dogs around the deck area. She said he had swum a lot of times prior to the Plunge at the lake and that he really loved swimming. The following year, he was more familiar with the event and had no problem diving in time and again. “I would encourage people to bring their dogs even if they think they won’t swim,” Swartz said. “Dogs don’t have to dive in the deeper end like Ollie does. A lot of dogs spend the time in the wading pool.” Robin Breit, who has attended with her husband, Chris, and their Whippets, Poppy and Ginny, agrees. “Every year we tell more people,” Breit said, “and it’s a great time for a first timer to learn to swim.” Breit said this year their new Whippet, Max, will join in on the fun in his first Pooch Plunge. She said her dogs “go nuts” when they enter the pool area. Basow said her dog doesn’t even wait that long and identifies where they are the moment they park the car. “I guarantee you that Dolly knows exactly where we are every year when we park outside of the pool,” Basow said.

“It takes a lot of strength to hold her back while we enter the front gate.” Hoyer said she hopes to someday eclipse the 400 dog participant mark for the event. It has been close, numbering 398 dogs in 2007. There has been at least one year where there has been rain, which Hoyer thought would dampen the number of those attending the event, but she found that wasn’t the case. “One year it rained, and we still had almost 200 dogs take part,” Hoyer said. “I really thought people wouldn’t show up for that one, but they did. Everyone seemed to still have a good time.” There are other events that are becoming designed specifically for pets and owners across the nation like the 5K Mutt Strut and the Mardi Paws Pet Parade, which continue to keep people active and living healthy lives., including people’s pets. “The Pooch Plunge has been a success because anyone who owns a swimming dog wants to take them to such an event and let them have a good time,” Basow said. “Just like going to a dog park, it’s a good way to exercise your dog and meet people.” This year’s Pooch Plunge is scheduled for 4- 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 22.

Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department’s Aquatics Division provides a safe and inviting environment accessible to the community. Through responsible use of public and private dollars, we strive for a professional staff that is dedicated to providing excellent customer service while maintaining the highest quality of aquatic programming and facilities available. LPRD Aquatics — the city’s largest provider of aquatic activities — offers four facilities of splashing excitement, fun and fitness for every member of the family. Thrill seekers can challenge one of our exciting waterslides, such as the new drop slide at the Outdoor Aquatic Center. Daring riders take a nearly vertical plunge down a steep chute, reaching breathtaking speeds before being shot like a cannon to “free-fall” into the water below. The Indoor Aquatic Center boasts a 145-foot waterslide that brings all the thrills of a traditional water park inside for year-round fun. Guests of all ages are drawn to the fun of the zero-depth “beaches” featured at the Indoor and Outdoor Aquatic centers, as well as the South Park Wading Pool. All the fun of the beach without getting sand in your

pants! Hide behind a curtain of water in the Rain Drop, or get soaked by the spray of a gigantic daisy, a silly spittin’ snake or one of several different water fountains. Kids will have a blast testing their balance on the Log Slice Scoot and the Lily Pad Path. Try to tackle the fierce floating dragon or make new friends on one of the mini-slides or floating animals. Swimming for fitness and safety is our top priority! That’s why each facility offers a unique aquatic experience with something for everyone. Year-round programs like Learn-to-Swim courses, aquatic fitness classes, aquatic training courses and special family events provide educational, fun and diverse leisure opportunities for the whole family. Mom and Dad can have fun, too! Relax in a complimentary lounge chair in the shade while enjoying a cold Pepsi from our full-line cafe concession stands. All this in a fun, family-oriented community water park. The Aquatics Division offices are located on the second floor of the Indoor Aquatic Center, 4706 Overland Drive, (785) 832-SWIM (7946).

It is also easier to move children up a level than to move them down a level. Swim lesson staff make the final decision in the placement of children into the most appropriate class level based on their skill. Note to parents/guardians LPRD wants your child to participate in its learn-to-swim program. We do ask for student cooperation and attention when attending class. It is our goal to provide each child with equal time and attention by staff. If a child doesn’t want to enter the water or does not cooperate with staff, parents/guardians are asked to work with the supervisor in charge to seek

resolution. We ask each participant to be on time and attend every lesson. Each lesson contains new material, which is vital to success in the class. We also ask parents/guardians to have patience, be positive and give praise. It is important to give children additional time to practice outside of class. The more practice time children receive, the more successful they will be in swimming lessons. Make-up lessons Make-up swim lessons will be held only if the LPRD staff makes the cancellation. There are no make-up days for lessons missed for personal reasons. Waiting lists Waiting lists for each section will only be formed when programs are filled. Those on the waiting lists will be contacted in the order that they were placed on the list, if and when an opening becomes available. SWIM LESSON DESCRIPTIONS All of the levels contain age/level appropriate safety skills. To complete a level, the participant must be able to complete all skills and exit skills assessments. Parent/Child (PNTCHILD) (Ages 6 months to 3 years): The foundation of the American Red Cross Parent and Child class is a set of basic skills that prepares young children to be comfortable in the water. This class will not make your child an independent swimmer; instead, this class will prepare your child to enter the Learn-to-Swim Program. Skills learned include getting adjusted to the water environment; showing comfort on both their front and back positions with assistance; submerging with assistance and changing body positions in the water. Aqua Tots Swim (3 years old) This class bridges the Parent/Child class to the Learn-to-Swim program and is designed for preschool aged children who have never been in a swim class but are ready to hold on to the wall and be in a pool without a parent. This class focuses on the fundamentals of freestyle and floating. In order to move to the next class, students must be comfortable putting their face in the water for three or more seconds. Preschool (PRSCHOOL) (4 year olds): Preschool Aquatics teaches age-appropriate water and safety skills in a positive, logical progression beginning with fundamental water safety and aquatic skills. Skills learned in this level are the same fundamental skills that are taught in levels 1 and 2 of the Learn-to-Swim program. These skills include independent water entry, front and back glides, and combined arm and leg actions in the water. Children are required to stay in the Preschool program until they turn five years of age. Level 1 (5-6 year olds): Participants work on comfort in the water and entering and exiting the pool by themselves. Skills learned include blowing bubbles and getting the head and face wet; floating on front and back with support and recovering to a standing position; alternating and simultaneous arm and leg motion on front and back. Level 2 (5-7 year olds): Skills learned include front and back floats unsupported for 5 seconds with recovery to a standing position; front and back glides for 2 body lengths; and combined arm and leg actions on front and back for 15 feet.

Level 3: Skills learned include survival and back floats and treading water for 30 seconds; front and back glides with two different kicks; and combined arm and leg actions on front and back for 15 feet.

Level 4: Improve on skills and increase endurance on strokes learned in previous levels, including front and back crawl for 25 yards, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke with scissor kick and butterfly for 15 yards. Skills learned include head-first entries, survival swimming and treading water using two kicks.This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC). Level 5: Increased endurance, coordination and refinement of strokes; front crawl, back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, sidestroke and flip turns. This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC). Level 6: Refine strokes so students swim with more ease, efficiency, power and smoothness over greater distances. Skills learned include introduction to other aquatic activities, areas of focus include Personal Water Safety, Diving and Fitness Swimming. Each option focuses on preparing students to participate in other advanced aquatic courses. This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC). Adult: This swim program has a little bit for everyone. Did you always wish you had learned to swim as a child? Well, it is never too late to get started. The purpose of this level is what YOU want to get out of it. For some that may mean personal safety; for others it may be learning to swim the basic strokes to be used for fitness swimming. Your needs will be discussed at the beginning of class, and the class will be geared toward meeting your personal goals. This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC). Adult 2: Do you already know how to swim but would like to swim with more efficiency and endurance? Adult 2 is targeted to those individuals who have basic swimming skills and want to swim for fitness or increase their endurance and stroke proficiency for triathlons. This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC). Junior Swim (JRSWIM): Are you between the ages of 9 and 16? Have you always wanted to learn to swim, but never have? If you feel too old to be in a traditional level one, two, or three class, this is the course for you. Junior swim is targeted towards those individuals between the ages of 9 and 16 who would like to overcome their fear of the water and learn the basic skills needed to be safe and enjoy the water. This level is taught in the competition pool (LIAC).

Eagle Bend Golf Course & Learning Center 1250 E 902 Road, (below Clinton Lake Dam) (785) 748-0600 For information and questions regarding golf, contact John Morris, golf operations supervisor, jmorris@ci.lawrence.ks.us Eagle Bend is owned and operated by the City of Lawrenceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Parks and Recreation Department. The City received the land through a lease with the Army Corps of Engineers. Eagle Bend is designed along the Wakarusa River channel located below the Clinton Reservoir Dam. As a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary program for golf courses, Eagle Bend is dedicated to continuing the preservation of the environment and habitat of wildlife. Much wildlife inhabits Eagle Bend, including rabbits, red foxes, coyotes, deer, quail, blue heron, muskrats, turtles, eagles, hawks, Canadian geese, woodpeckers, fish and snakes. The first six holes on the course are open with few trees. The remaining holes are heavily wooded and sit in the shadow of the Wakarusa River. The bald eagle is indigenous to the area and played a major role in the naming of the course. During its construction, bald eagle sightings were plentiful and can still be seen in the fall and early spring. Since the river bends around the course, the name Eagle Bend was a natural. No signature hole is designated, but a consensus favors No. 16, a 560-yard, par 5 with a split fairway, and No. 17, an elevated 165-yard, par 3 with the river channel cutting across the entire front side of the green.

hole spotlight: Hole 5

350 yards/Blue Tees • Par 4 • Handicap 3

A long tee shot is required especially from the championship tees. Be careful though, because out of bounds to the left and a small creek to the right makes this hole intimidating. Depending on which tee box you play, a mid or short iron will be needed to hit the large, relatively flat green surrounded by mounds. This hole should offer a good chance for par.

Cycling - Pedal Pushers Ages: 60 and Up. Enrollment Min 6 / Max 14.

Indoor cycling can provide all these benefits while increasing endurance and strength in your lower body, core and upper body.

Bikers can modify their cycling resistance and pace according to their current fitness levels. There are no fancy steps to learn (although there is great music to pedal to) so even if you don’t know how to ride a bicycle, you can enjoy the class.

Stretch’s Corner for Adults

awrence offers many parks and trails for owners and their dogs to explore throughout the community. However, not everyone is a dog lover, so proper dog walking etiquette can help ensure the parks and trails can be enjoyed by everyone.

DOG Walking DO’S

•U se dog-friendly training methods to teach your dog to walk politely on leash so outings are enjoyable for you both. • Keep slack in the lead anytime your dog isn’t pulling. • Keep excess leash material looped in your hand to avoid tripping. • Use an appropriate leash and collar or harness to avoid injury to your dog and yourself. • Exercise your dog off-leash where safe and appropriate. A walk on-leash is not adequate exercise for most dogs. • Clean up after your dog on walks. Irresponsible dog-walkers spoil it for everyone. Make sure you have baggies with you to pick up any poo. • Use long lines or retractable leads only where there aren’t other dogs and humans who could get tangled. • Prevent your dog from rudely greeting others. Not everyone appreciates their exuberant salutations. • Respect local leash laws, park regulations and homeowner association rules. • Take your dog for lots of long, enjoyable walks. They’re good for both of you and for your relationship!

DOn’t’S

•T ether your dog to your waist or arm unless you are confident you’re strong enough to restrain him if he pulls. Never tether him to the body of a child or physically-challenged walker. • Jerk on your dog’s leash to prevent contact with dogs or humans. This can cause aggression. Instead, feed treats to regain his attention. • Take your dog off his leash unless you’re in a safely enclosed area, or a wide-open, dog-legal space and your dog comes reliably when called. • Leave your dog tied and unattended on walks while you run into the store, even for just a moment. Your dog is at risk for teasing, tormenting, and theft. • Let your dog soil lawns while on walks. Source: http://www.wantagedogpark.com/leash_use.aspx

10 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE GETTING A DOG 1. Owning a Dog is lifetime commitment. Animals develop bonds with you and your family. Any change in ownership can be extremely traumatic. 2. Owning a dog is also a considerable financial commitment. The average care for one dog, which includes food, supplies, and basic medical care, averages $800-$1,000 yearly. Emergency care can range from $250 to $5,000. 3. Before you take your new dog home, make sure you have all the basic supplies. These include a collar, ID tag and rabies tag. You should be able to put two fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck, and the leash should be four to six-feet long, food and water bowls (steel, glass or ceramic preferred), a comfortable dog bed and toys. 4. Find a good vet. WebVet’s Vet finder can help you find a vet in your area, webvet.com/vetFinder. 5. Dog proof your home. Be sure and keep anything that may be toxic to your pet out of their reach – poisonous plants, cleaners, plastic bags. 6. Puppies require house training. As they will not automatically know that the yard, not the house, is the appropriate place to do their business. This requires time, patience and a consistent and dedicated regimen. 7. Socialize your dog early on. By exposing your dog to various people and environments, it will become a more stable, happy and confident animal. Be sure to continue socialization beyond the puppy years. Socialization reduces the likelihood that your dog could become fearful and aggressive toward other people and animals. 8. Groom your dog, making sure to ease into a grooming routine. Begin with shorter sessions and gradually increase the normal grooming session. 9. Brush your dog’s teeth in order to prevent dental diseases. Three to five times a week is recommended, and your vet can give you a lesson, as well as recommend an appropriate toothbrush and paste. 10. Above all, make sure that owning a dog, particularly the right dog, is a wise decision for you and your family situation. Source: http://www.everydayhealth.com/pet-health/before-getting-a-dog.aspx

Furry Friend Frames How to Make a Furry Friends Frame: Step 1: Paint the frame whatever color you’d like. Step 2: W hen the paint is dry, glue on buttons, ribbon, charms of bones, carrots, hearts, or anything else that says something about your pet. (An adult should supervise the glue gun—it can get very hot!) Step 3: When the frame is complete, put in the photo of your family pet Source: http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/dogcrafts1.htm

Poochy Parade This poochy parade pet activity will proudly show off your puppies. Everyone loves a parade. Everyone loves dogs. Why not combine two all-American favorites in a summer activity that will take you outside on the next sunny Saturday afternoon?

What You’ll Need: Friends with dogs and leashes Accessories Portable tape or CD player

How to Plan a Poochy Parade: Step 1: Gather together your kids and their friends with dogs and plot out the event. Whose dogs get along with other dogs? Whose dogs are better on their own? Which dogs are big? Which dogs are extra-small? Step 2: Pick a theme like “Puppy Love” or “Man’s Best Friend” and invent silly, inexpensive doggie accessories—red construction paper hearts gently taped to fur, poster boards hanging from the necks of each puppy’s pet person. Step 3: Then march to one of your favorite doggone songs—“(You Ain’t Nothing But a) Hound Dog,” “How Much is that Doggie in the Window?” or maybe the Baha Men’s “Who Let the Dogs Out.” Be sure to take plenty of pictures. This will be a dog day afternoon to remember. Source: http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/family/pet-activities7.htm

They should be limited or prevented from entering our environment. Due to our increased use of these products and greater analytical sensitivity, very tiny amounts of compounds and drugs can be detected in conventional treatment plant outflow and end up in creeks, streams, and rivers. While there is no evidence these traces pose a risk to human health, scientists can sometimes find interference with aquatic organisms, and studies continue. Meanwhile, it’s prudent to control what we put into water, and everyone’s help is important. In addition to following product recommendations for use and disposal and decreasing use when possible, you can help keep water clean by simply not flushing unused medication down the toilet! Controlling what goes down the drain is the easiest and most effective way to protect the environment, and you can start today!

Fats, oils, and greases aren’t just bad for arteries and waistlines; they’re bad for sewers, too. Sewer overflows and backups can cause health hazards, damage home interiors, and threaten the environment. A common cause of overflows is sewer pipes blocked by grease. Grease gets into the sewer from household drains as well as from poorly maintained grease traps in restaurants and other businesses. Where Does the Grease Come From? Grease is a byproduct of cooking that comes from meat fats, lard, oil, shortening, butter, margarine, food scraps, baked goods, sauces, and dairy products. When washed down the sink, grease sticks to the insides of sewer pipes (both on your property and in the street). Over time, it can build up and block an entire pipe. The results can be: • Raw sewage overflowing in your home or the house next door. • An increase in operation and maintenance costs for local sewer departments, which leads to higher sewer bills for customers. • An expensive and unpleasant cleanup that often must be paid for by you, the home or business owner. • Raw sewage overflowing into parks, yards, and streets. • Potential contact with disease-causing organisms. You Can Help! Help prevent sewer overflows by: • Never pouring grease down sink drains or into toilets. • Putting baskets/ strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and emptying them into the trash. • Scraping grease and food scraps into a can or the trash for disposal (or recycling where available). • Speaking with your friends and neighbors about how to keep grease out of sewers.

Caution: Home garbage disposals do not keep grease out of the plumbing system. Moreover, hot water and products such as detergents that claim to dissolve grease only pass it down the line and cause problems elsewhere.

It’s not too late to get started! Tobacco-Free Lifestyle OK, so you navigated yourself past the Great America Smokeout and are still looking for the right thing to motivate you to stop using tobacco. Your significant other has mentioned it to you. Your kids have nagged you. Your dog even walks away from you whenever you light up. It’s time to resolve that by the end of the year you’re ready to be an ex; as in ex-smoker. The most important component in deciding to quit tobacco is YOU. You have to make the decision that you want to become an ex. That’s the hardest part of quitting -- resolving that you are committed to quitting. The cravings will come and go; but staying true to your commitment to quit is the challenge. Pick a date that means something to you for your Quit Date (your birthday, child’s birthday, anniversary, etc.). Give yourself ample time to get ready— you’re going to get rid of all forms of tobacco; stock up on replacement items like cinnamon gum, straws to chew on, maybe some hard candy; tell your family and friends you’re quitting, etc. If you want some additional assistance to quit, call the Kansas Tobacco Quitline at 1.800.QUIT.

Fishing regulations at mary’s lake

In 1991, Lawrence Parks and Recreation purchased the lake property and continued its development of the area with the addition of Prairie Park Nature Center in 1999 and natural trails from the center to the lake area and neighborhood park.

Lawrence parks and recreation uses the lake for nature programs and special events, which take priority over public fishing. Regulations for fishing are: 1.

Length limit for large mouth bass is 15” minimum, and two (2) per day limit on channel catfish.

Mary’s Lake was created in the 1950s. Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department worked with property owners in the ‘70s to use the natural area and lake for its Exceptional Summer Camps, as well as coordinated programming with special education classes in the public schools in the spring and fall seasons.

The lake is patrolled and regulations are enforced by Wildlife and Parks and Department conservation officers. Inquiries about Mary’s Lake and the adjacent 71-acre Prairie Park can be made at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department Administrative Office, (785) 832-3450.

Lawrence Parks and Recreation uses the lake for nature programs and special events.
