(15+) Yin Yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body, especially the hips, sacrum and spine. Yin asanas (postures) are more passive and mainly on the floor. Yin Yoga is unique as you are asked to relax in the asanas, soften the muscle and move closer to the connective tissues, offering a deeper access to the body. Flexibility decreases over time and Yin Yoga is a wonderful way to maintain your flexibility. No class May 27 and Sept. 2. Instructor: Gutierrez Location: Foothills Rec Center 14 | SUMMER - 2019

RANGER'S

CORNER

uly and August may be considered the Dog Days of Summer, but in Arizona, dogs and many times people should not be outside in the heat of the day. Glendale officials want to remind residents to stay safe and protect themselves from the potentially deadly heat this summer. The high night temperatures do not allow for the body to cool down and can result in more people being at risk for dehydration, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Children, elderly and animals are even more susceptible to heat-related illness.

Important information to keep in mind this time of year to avoid heatrelated illness: •

Increase fluid intake, regardless of activity level.

•

Limit exercise/outdoor activity 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.

•

Wear a hat, loose-fitting, lightweight clothing and sunglasses.

•

Rest frequently in shaded areas to recover and cool down.

•

Never leave infants, children or pets inside a parked vehicle.

•

Check on elderly neighbors to make sure their air conditioning is working and in use.

•

Take advantage of free airconditioned spaces by visiting shopping malls, libraries, or other heat refuge locations.

This is especially important for hiking enthusiasts who may be out at Thunderbird Conservation Park or other Glendale trails; heat-related tips specific to hiking include: •

Drink 1-2 liters of water per hour while hiking (1 L = approx. 34 oz.) The body can lose 2-4 liters of water when active during high temps.

•

When half of your water is gone, it’s time to turn around and go back.

•

Avoid bringing your dog on the trails during the summer.

•

Choose a trail that is within your ability. Check out the trail rating system online: www.glendaleaz. com/parksandrecreation/trails. Find more pet safety information on page 28!

Help Glendale kids learn, play, grow and just have fun! Consider making a donation to the Glendale Youth Scholarship Fund. More information below.

PUT A LITTLE PLAY IN A KID’S DAY B

GLENDALE’S YOUTH SCHOLARSHIP FUND

eing a kid is defined by one very important thing: playing. Playing house, playing dress-up, playing board games, playing ball and playing tag are all important. Can you imagine childhood without many of those things? The opportunity to play sports and learning skills, like art, music and cooking, among others, is not available to all kids in Glendale, unfortunately. If the cost of sports leagues and activities is an obstacle for some families, the City of Glendale hopes to remove that barrier by providing scholarships for those who need it. Based on economic need, families can apply to receive scholarship funds for their children for activities such as those listed above, in a limited capacity for the calendar year. The account is credited so participants can register for classes or leagues through that account, when ready.

Anthony “Tony” Holly, a former Glendale police officer, was very involved in the community, volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters and coaching Little League when he was in the Air Force. He became a police officer to help people in need, and was especially grateful when he could help a child to better his or her life or to assist with getting them to a safer environment. His mother, Nancy Bonner, who runs the foundation in his honor, says “Tony loved to swim! He learned when he was very young, and got so much enjoyment from it. Being born and raised in Arizona, he was very aware of the importance of water safety and… keeping children safe around water. The best way to be safe? Know how to swim! We hope others

The donation from the Anthony Holly Foundation goes a long way in helping to make sure all children are able to play, learn, swim, paint, make music and much more; however, the division set a goal of raising $10,000 in 2017, and more donations are needed – from corporations, nonprofits, individuals and families – to help reach that goal. To donate, simply do so online at http://www.glendaleaz.com/ParksandRecreation/scholarshipprogram.cfm. Or mail a check (made out to City of Glendale Scholarship Fund), to: Glendale Parks and Recreation Department 5970 W. Brown St., Glendale, Arizona 85302

The scholarship account is dependent on fundraising and donations throughout the year. Organizations such as the Anthony Holly Foundation, based here in Glendale, have donated funds to further the cause. Their mission is to “support activities, organizations and facilities that encourage young people to live joyous and meaningful lives and to, in turn, encourage them to improve their families, their communities and their futures.” The donations that the city received from the foundation are earmarked for swim lessons for Glendale children, which helps Parks & Recreation further one of its missions—ensuring all children in Glendale learn to swim.

will join us in donating to Glendale Parks and Recreation. Recreation teaches children teamwork, helps to keep them healthy, gives them productive choices for their downtime and adds fun to their lives!”
