As a soil amendment:  Mix two to five inches of compost into vegetable and flower gardens each year before planting.    As a potting mixture:  Add one part compost to two parts commercial potting soil\, or make your own mixture by using equal parts of compost and sand or perlite.    As a mulch:  Spread an inch or two of compost around annual flowers and vegetables\, and up to six inches around trees and shrubs.    As a top dressing:  Mix finely\, sifted compost with sand and sprinkle evenly over lawns.

SUMMARY:Dog Park Grand Opening
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_5615" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Photo by freeloosedirt/Flickr"][/caption]    Everyone is invited to join City leaders\, supporters and organizers for the grand opening of the City’s new Off-Leash Dog Facility (more often being referred to as “Wichita Paws” or “Wichita Paws Dog Park”)\, at Lake Wichita Park\, beginning at 8:45am.  The facility utilizes a converted soccer/football field at the north end of the park. By beginning with an already developed area city staff was able to utilize existing fencing\, irrigation\, parking and land already graded for drainage\, which saved significant costs for the project.    An appropriation of $10\,000 from the 4B Sales Tax Fund allowed for further improvements to complete the dog park including: : adding additional fencing\, two double gate entries\, irrigation improvements\, minor paving and signage. The final result is two dog parks in one with an area for small dogs (under 30 pounds) and one for large dogs (over 30 pounds).    There are very specific rules for participation at the park that have been developed by citizens\, the Health Department\, Parks Department and Police Department. The most basic rules are that the park is open from dawn to dusk\, only two dogs per visitor\, all animals are to have current vaccinations and display vaccination tags at all times and that all waste must be removed by owners.    The complete list of rules and regulations is displayed at the entrance to the park. These rules cover a wide range of important issues to consider before using the park and participants are urged to familiarize themselves with this information before entering the facility.

SUMMARY:World's Largest Swimming Lesson
DESCRIPTION:     [caption id="attachment_6610" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Facebook"][/caption]    On Tuesday\, June 14th\, 2011\, thousands of kids and adults at aquatics facilities around the globe will unite to set a new global record for The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ (WLSL). Castaway Cove is an official Host Location for the 2011 WLSL record-setting event\, taking place at 10:00 AM central time.    There is no cost for anyone to participate in the The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ event.  Registration for the will begin at 9:00 AM on June 14th at Castaway Cove with the lesson beginning promptly at 10:00 AM and ending before the park opens at 11:00 AM. All registrants will receive a certificate of participation.  The maximum number that can register for the lesson is 50.  Additional guests can watch the lesson.    The inaugural WLSL event established the Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous swimming lesson ever conducted in 2010 when almost 4\,000 participants across 34 states\, five countries and 3 continents participated to build awareness about the vital importance of teaching children to swim to prevent drowning.    The WLSL program works to promote drowning prevention through education by focusing the energy of thousands of participants on a clear and specific message all at the same time. In 2010\, aquatic facilities\, from Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon near Orlando\, Florida to swim schools in Orange Country\, CA\, to parks & recreation centers in the Bronx\, to locations in Mexico\, Dubai and the USAG Humphreys in South Korea\, all taught the same swimming lesson at the same time with one goal in mind  – send the message that Swimming Lessons Save Lives™.    Gold Medalists’ Rowdy Gaines and Janet Evans are official spokespeople for the  WLSL event for the second year to help convey that loss of life from drowning can be prevented through awareness and training.  As parents\, both athletes feel a strong commitment to teaching children how to be safe in and around the water.    “It is so important to draw attention to this issue\,” says Ed Michel\, Castaway Cove’s Sales & Marketing Manager\, “particularly at the beginning of the summer season. The World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ is a perfect way to bring the message to life for kids and parents.”

SUMMARY:4th In The Falls
DESCRIPTION:[caption id="attachment_7172" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images"][/caption]    Due to extremely dry weather and high fire danger the rescheduled “4th  in the Falls” celebration has been moved again. The event had been  rescheduled for Saturday\, September 3rd but is now scheduled to  Saturday\, December 31st. After carefully monitoring  current and long-range weather forecasts the decision was made by City  staff to move the event to adhere to current burn bans\, firework  restrictions and protect the health and safety of citizens who may have  attended the event.    “This is an excellent opportunity to provide the city with an  exciting New Year’s Eve celebration\,” said MPEC Director\, Bob Sullivan.  “Rather than cancelling the event due to the current weather conditions  we’re moving the festivities to News Year’s  Eve\, which will provide families throughout the area with an exciting  event to ring in 2012\,” said Sullivan.    Also in the consideration to reschedule the event was a sincere  desire to curtail any fireworks use outside the fireworks display that  was planned at MPEC. City staff did not want the public to be left with  the impression that fireworks restrictions  had been lifted.    “The conditions for a significant fire event have not changed\,”  said Assistant Fire Chief William Weske. “Just yesterday our department  battled a 30 acre blaze near Tanglewood. 100 residents had to be  evacuated and homes were threatened. We just can’t  take a chance with someone feeling that it’s alright to use fireworks  during this time\,” said Weske.    Current plans for the December 31st event will maintain the original  schedule\, children’s activities\, food and drink opportunities and  fireworks display. The live music performances will change and be  announced as the event date nears.
