Cardio Step ConditioningFree to Summit Members! Step your way to a toned body with this fun workout. Tone muscles, burn calories, and increase flex-ibility. This workout is fun and a great stress-buster! You control your intensity level by simply adjusting the step height.

Monday and Wednesday 12:15 p.m.

Pilates Free to Summit Members! Increase your flexibility as you flow through a series of dynamic movements that restore balance to core muscles of the lower back and abdominals. Quiet the chatter of daily life, relieve stress and feel great! Pilates helps develop core strength and body alignment.

Hi Lo CardioFree to Summit Members! Personalize this workout by making choices along the way on what feels best during the activity. The “Hi” portion of the workout requires both feet to leave the ground while performing step, pivoting, jumping and twisting moves that improve muscle toning, strength, agility and balance. The “Lo” portion of the workout keeps one foot firmly planted on the floor to improve balance, while enjoying less of an impact on bones and joints. Participants choose between Hi or Lo during the movement as their body and fitness levels dictate. The end result is a challenging workout for everyone, including the long-time fitness enthusiast and the beginner! Tuesday and Thursday 10:15 a.m.

Kid’s ClubFree to Summit Members! We have ground-breaking news. Kid’s LOVE fitness, but they call it something different than adults: P-L-A-Y! The Summit has grasped onto that thought and offers the newest technology-driven exercise programming featuring Expresso bikes, XerGames Sportwall, XerDance and a state of the art indoor rock-climbing wall. One testimonial from a Sum-mit parent says it all: “My daughter LOVES the kid’s workout room. When I go to class, I feel good knowing that she is exercis-ing while having fun. Last week I gave her a choice of going to her grandmother’s house or coming with me to the gym and she said, ‘Oh, I can’t cancel my workout at the gym – it’s too much fun!’ I’m so proud of her ... it is such a great confidence booster for kids.”

Naomi Kuhn started out as so many others; trying to find a group-fitness class that fit her personal needs . Although declaring that she could not dance, she enrolled in a Zumba class after being encouraged by a friend to just try it . A year later she was hooked on Zumba fitness and was inspired by the senior adults to obtain an instructor’s certification for Zumba Gold . Naomi now has certifications in Zumba Fitness, Zumba Gold, Zumba Gold Toning, Zumbatomics and Aqua Zumba .

The Zumba Gold course was the first that Naomi and her co-instructor Jeanette offered for the senior population; the first of its kind in the area . It continues to be popular as the class with great up-beat music, and is designed for all levels of physical abilities, whether standing or in a chair or scooter .

Fit FactInsulate your body . The best approach to dressing for outdoor exercise is with layers . Layering provides the most effective heating method, plus it allows you to remove the top layer if you get too hot . The layer closest to your skin should allow moisture to be wicked away .

KSThe long awaited reopening of Sammons

Golf Links has finally arrived . The golf course underwent a large renovation project over the spring and summer with the goal of upgrading the condition of the course and adding challenge and interest for golfers of all skill levels .

The history of Sammons golf course goes back to the 1920’s, and over the last few years it had been showing its age . It was important to restore the golf course and give the community a golf course that it can be proud of .

Golfers will find new ultra dwarf bermuda grass greens, 5 new holes including a 623 yard par 5, some of the most challenging par 3’s around and a new routing that makes 9 hole play more accessible .

I am extremely excited about the golf course and what it means for the golfers in the community . I encourage everyone to come get a round of golf in and check out all the improvements .

Sincerely,

James RobertsPGA Director of Golf

Pruning Young TreesProper pruning is essential in developing a tree with a strong structure and desirable form . Trees that receive the appropriate pruning measures while they are young will require little corrective pruning when they mature .

1. Pruning ToolsWhen pruning trees it is important to have the right tools. For small trees most cuts can be made with hand pruning shears. The scissor type, or bypass blade hand pruners are preferred over the anvil type. They make cleaner, more accurate cuts. Cuts larger than ½ inch should be made with lopping shears or a pruning saw. Be sure to keep your tools clean and sharp.

2. Making the CutWhere you are pruning, cut is critical to a tree’s response in growth and wound closure. Make pruning cuts just outside the branch collar (where the limb meets the trunk). If a permanent branch is to be shortened, cut it back to a lateral branch or bud. Internodal cuts, or cuts made between buds or branches may lead to stem decay, sprout production, and misdirected growth.

3. Newly Planted TreesPruning of newly planted trees should be limited to correc-tive pruning. Remove torn or broken branches, and save other pruning measures for the second or third year. The belief that trees should be pruned when planted to compensate for root loss is misguided. Trees need their leaves and shoot tips to provide food and the substances that stimulate new root production. Unpruned trees establish faster with a stronger root system.

4. Trunk DevelopmentFor most young trees, maintain a single dominant leader grow-ing upward. Do not prune back the tip of this leader. Do not allow secondary branches to outgrow the leader. Sometimes a tree will develop double leaders, or co-dominant stems. Co-dominant stems can lead to structural weaknesses, so it is best to remove one of the stems while the tree is young. The branches growing on the side contribute to the develop-ment of a sturdy well-tapered trunk. It is important to leave some of these lateral branches in place, even though they may be pruned out later. These temporary branches help protect the trunk from sun scald and mechanical injury. Temporary branches should be kept short enough not to be an obstruction or compete with selected permanent branches.

5. Permanent Branch Selection Nursery trees often have low branches that may make the tree appear well-proportioned when young, but low branches are seldom appropriate for large-growing trees in an urban environment. How a young tree is trained depends on its primary function in the landscape. For example, street trees must be pruned so that they allow at least 13 feet of clearance for traffic. Most landscape trees require only about 8 feet of clearance.Trees that are used to screen an unsightly view or pro-vide a windbreak may be allowed to branch low to the ground. Most large-growing trees in the landscape must eventually be pruned to allow head clearance.The spacing of branches, both vertically and radially, in the tree is very important. Branches selected as perma-nent scaffold branches must be well-spaced along the trunk. Maintain radial balance with branches growing outward in each direction.A good rule for the vertical spacing of permanent branches is to maintain a distance equal to 3% of the tree’s eventual height. Thus, a tree that will be 50 feet tall should have permanent scaffold branches spaced about 18 inches apart along the trunk. Some trees have a tendency to develop branches with narrow angles of attachment and tight crotches. As the tree grows bark can become enclosed deep within the crotch between the branch and the trunk. Such growth is called included bark. Included bark weakens the attachment of the branch to the trunk and can lead to branch failure when the tree matures. You should prune branches with weak attachments while they are youngAvoid over thinning the interior of the tree. The leaves of each branch must manufacture enough food to keep that branch and the tree alive and growingRemoval of too many leaves can “starve” the tree, reduce growth, and make the tree unhealthy. A good rule is to maintain at least half of the foliage on branches arising in the lower two-thirds of the tree.

6. Wound DressingsWound dressings were once thought to accelerate wound closure, protect against insects and diseases, and reduce decay. However, research has shown that dressings do not reduce decay or speed closure and rarely prevent insect or disease infestations. Most experts recommend that wound dressing not be used. If a dressing must be used for cosmetic purposes, use a thin coating of mate-rial that is not toxic to the plant.

Memorial Tree ProgramPay a long-lasting tribute to an individual or occasion by planting a tree in his or her honor. Memorial Trees are planted in public parks so everyone can enjoy the shade, beauty and enjoyment a living tree provides. Commemorate a graduation, birth, passing, wedding, anni-versary, or any special recognition. Planting a tree in a city park is a wonderful way to honor a loved one and also provide a gift for the whole community.

About Trees and Markers

Parks & Leisure Services staff will work with you to select a Memorial Tree that will adhere to the tree-planting plan adopted by the City of Temple. Species of trees planted will be determined based upon planting location and type of tree needed for the chosen park site.

• Bald Cypress • Mountain Laurel• Chinese Pistache • Possumhaw Holly• Chinquapin Oak • Red Bud• Crape Myrtle • Red Oak• Live Oak • Vitex

A custom-made plaque will be installed at your memorial tree site.

TAdopt A Park 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, ex-ercise opportunities, and community gather-ing areas.

Temple has a remarkable 58 developed parks and special use areas. The parks supply ani-mal 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 im-proves Temple’s economy. Temple’s Parks and Leisure Services Department works diligent-ly 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-A-Park Program would like to thank our adopt-ers for their dedication, involvement, and hard work. These people have made a commitment to help maintain Temple’s parks. We encour-age all Temple residents and organizations to help beautify our city by adopting a park!
