Fit Fact Don’t forget to drink plenty of liquid when swimming. Just because your body is surrounded by water does not mean that you are well-hydrated. Just as with any land exercises, you need to regularly replenish lost fluids -- even when swimming laps in the pool or when participating in water sports.

Fit Fact Fill up on fruits and veggies Almost every American needs to eat more fresh fruits and veggies, and one of the most common excuses people offer for not eating enough is that they’re just not very convenient. But so many fruits are the perfect finger food! You wash and eat, and then just toss the pit or the core. That’s no harder to get rid of than an empty cookie wrapper or chip bag.

Forget the old “no pain, no gain” motto

Ignoring your body’s signals could be dangerous. Heat-related illnesses come with warning signs, so be sure that you learn how to recognize them and know what actions to take. www.templeparks.com

Smart Shopper! Next time you go grocery shopping, think of yourself as the sort of person who spends a little extra time in the produce department, instead of at the bagged snacks. Be the shopper who carefully looks over the fresh spring selections. You might see something you don’t normally notice, something you haven’t had for years, or maybe something you’ve never tried at all. Enjoy it - and your health - this spring.

Give Your Trees a Boost This Spring With warmer weather right around the corner now is a great time to install mulch around the trees in your landscape. Mulch is a protective layer of material placed over the root zone of your tree to help protect it and promote health and vigor.

Types of Mulch

Benefits of Mulching

There are many varieties of mulch. Two basic categories: organic and inorganic.

Helps maintain soil moisture. Evaporation is reduced – minimizing the need for watering.

• Organic – made from natural substances and can include hardwood and softwood tree bark, pine straw, wood chips, cocoa hulls, pecan shells, compost mixes and a variety of other plant-derived products. Decomposes over time and must be replenished after several years. • Inorganic – can include lava rock, many different stone products, landscape cloth or geotextile fabrics and pulverized rubber. Does not decompose so it will not need to be replenished.

Proper Mulching Techniques • Remove all weeds in the area you plan to mulch. It is recommended that you create a circle of mulch about 2 feet in diameter for every 1 inch in diameter of the tree, or out to the drip line of the tree. Remember mulch wide – not deep.

Helps control weeds. Helps prevent damage caused by getting too close to the trunk with a mower or trimmer. Keeps the soil cooler during the summer and warmer during the winter, therefore providing a more constant soil temperature. Prevents crusting of the soil. Improves the movement of water into the root zone. Mulched trees produce more roots than trees without mulch. Organic mulch provides nutrients to the soil and root zones of the trees when the mulch breaks down and decomposes. Provides additional beauty to the landscape and gives the finishing touch to a well-manicured yard.

• Cover the area around the tree with a layer of mulch between 2 to 4 inches deep. Too much mulch can be harmful and can suffocate the root system. Rule of Thumb: 2 inches deep for fine textured mulch, such as compost or shredded wood. 3 to 4 inches deep for coarse textured mulch, such as bark nuggets. • Keep the mulch 2 to 3 inches away from the trunk of the tree to prevent decay due to wet mulch and rodent activity during the winter months. Keep the mulch 6 to 12 inches away from your house or any other structures in your landscape.

Liz Graves “I’m a retired teacher (math, home economics, physical education, computer science) who doesn’t know when to quit. My son was the one to convince me I needed to know how to use a computer in 1998. His motivational words to me were, “in the future, someone who cannot use a computer will be like someone who cannot read.” He was so right and I have not regretted one minute of my adventures with technology. I decided to go back to school and get my Masters in a technology field in 2000. Currently I work with the Temple College Community Education program, teach private computer lessons and have recently joined the Sammons Community Center as the computer instructor. In my spare time I sing with the Chisholm Trail Chorus of the National Sweet Adeline’s organization and love crafting projects. I’m looking forward to more computer adventures; come be a part of one of the great classes in our updated computer lab!”

Fit Fact Join a team

6/3 - 7/29 16 and up Su

One subtle advantage of organized recreational activities is that they can help you break out of the sedentary mindset. Playing league sports, joining a cycling club, even a walking group, helps you begin to think of yourself as the kind of person who would be fit, and for many people, that mental hurdle is the biggest one to get over.

The City of Temple encompasses parks, gardens, and trails. These areas provide our community with an enhanced quality of life through recreational spaces, picnic spots, exercise opportunities, and community gathering areas. Temple has a remarkable 58 developed parks and special use areas. The parks supply animal habitat, flood control, climate control and oxygen producing trees. These features are vital to maintaining a healthy lifestyle for our community. Parks, gardens, and trails also help attract businesses to our area which improves Temple’s economy. Temple’s Parks and Leisure Services Department works diligently to provide citizens with clean, attractive, and well maintained areas. Due to the number of parks in Temple, it is difficult to keep each park in its top condition at all times. With your enthusiasm, willingness, and effort we can keep Temple’s parks in prime condition. This program is fun, easy and rewarding. We ask the following of each adopter:

• Each group/individual must fill out

one Adopt-A-Park partnership form

• Each participant needs to fill out

and return a release form before the workday date

• Each group needs one contact person

• Each group/individual should

volunteer in the park at least 3 days out of the year

• The first workday will need to be

scheduled with an Adopt-A-Park staff

• Volunteer hours need to be tracked and submitted to the Parks and Leisure Services Administration Office

A sign will be placed in an adopter’s park to recognize the groups/individuals. Temple Parks and Leisure Services Adopt-APark Program would like to thank our adopters for their dedication, involvement, and hard work. These people have made a commitment to help maintain Temple’s parks. We encourage all Temple residents and organizations to help beautify our city by adopting a park!
