S.N.P.P. Adventures 2010: The Seven Wonders of Summer CampOnce upon a time, there was a world without video games and movies. This was a time when adventures were lived and remembered. Welcome back to the Land of PhuN! Captain Phinneaus PhuN Phinder, a well known explorer, is determined to uncover the Seven Wonders of Sumer Camp. This summer, S.N.P.P. campers will do what they do best... Have PhuN and help discover the seven phundamentals of sumer camp! Join us for one week or the whole summer in “the land of PhuN”!

WEEK 2 JULY 12 – 16: MYSTERY MAYHEM This week we must fi nd the fi rst of Seven Wonders of Summer Camp… As we look for clues we stumble upon gargantuan formation of rocks. What does this mysterious discovery mean?

WEEK 3 JULY 19 – 23: ACTION, REACTION… EXPLOSION!!Put on your protective eyewear this week, we are expanding our search to explosive heights! Perhaps by experimenting with different items this week we can fi nd our second wonder of summer camp.

WEEK 4 JULY 26 – 30: WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE!This week we search for the third Wonder of Summer Camp at the local water park when Captain Phinneus provides us with a clue from the Great Barrier Reef. What would the depths of the ocean have to do with summer camp?

WEEK 5 AUG 3 – 6: MUD PIES AND OATMEAL SLIP’N’SLIDESCalling all paint splattered, grass stained, ripped jean-wearing campers… It’s time to be messy! As we look to uncover the fourth phundamental Wonder of Summer Camp, we fi nd the craziest activity yet!

WEEK 6 AUG 9 – 13: SUPER-NATURAL DISGUISE As we look for clues in the nature that surrounds us, we discover the fi fth Wonder of Summer Camp. Keep your eyes peeled for this wonder camoufl ages well in our environment.

WEEK 7 AUG 16 – 20: DOE A DEER A PHEMALE DEER, RAY A DROP OF GOLDEN PHUNThis week we join together to sing our favourite camp songs. Captain Phinneus reminds us to keep on task and fi nd the sixth Wonder of Summer Camp.

WEEK 8 AUG 23 – 27: ON YOUR MARK, GET SET… PLAY!The annual PhuN Olympics are here once again! All S.N.P.P. campers are invited to compete in the tradition of the Ancient Greeks, where hopefully we can decipher our last clue to fi nd the seventh Wonder of Summer Camp.

WEEK 9 AUG 30 – SEPT 2:THE UNVEILING OF OUR SEVEN WONDERS! As the summer comes to an end, we look back on our recent adventures. All of the campers in the Land of PhuN will come together to celebrate at the Carnival where the Seven Wonders of Summer Camp will be revealed!!

Swim Lessons:Parent & Tot LessonsSTARFISH (4 months-1½yrs)COMMONWEALTH PLACEAn introductory class for babies and their parent or caregiver. To enter this level, babies must be able to hold their head up. The goal of this orientation to water class is to experience buoyancy, movement, entries and songs and play in the water.

SEA TURTLE (2½-3yrs)For children who have successfully completed at least one session of Duck and are ready to move into a non-parented class. This program will assist your 2 year old in becoming more comfortable and safe in a lesson on their own. Parent participation is required for the fi rst four lessons and then only as is needed to achieve this goal. Many 2 year olds may be comfortable in the water but are not always willing to participate with a teacher. Support is needed to make this transition a positive one!

Recent Testimonial

I went shopping this last September with my little cousin and I tried on a zip up sweatshirt, which wasn’t even close to fi tting. It was this disappointment that caused me to sign up for some fi tness courses in the hopes that maybe I might be able to fi t it one day.

I started the courses in October and worked out twice per week attempting a healthier lifestyle and hoping it would work. My instructor’s name was Jennifer Porayko and she not only had me leaving class drenched in sweat due to a brilliant workout plan but with a smile on my face, as she was upbeat, inspiring and fun! Mondays can be a hard day to workout on if the attitude is wrong but she always made me look forward to Monday nights as I knew that not only would I workout hard but have fun and receive genuine encouragement.

During the 2010 Olympics I was in Vancouver visiting my sister and we went into a shop there and they had put out special Olympic inspired zip up sweatshirt. Not hoping for much I tried one on, at my sister’s suggestion and was delighted to fi nd that it fi t! So within 5 months I went from 3 inches too big for the largest sweatshirt to fi tting it quite nicely.

I have found a certain amount of joy in this and have decided to start going to the gym with a friend on top of workout courses through Commonwealth and other rec centers.

Cedar Hill Golf Course

Pro Golf

Tip #1TIP #1 - SHORT GAME The key to most short-game shots, including the chip, is to get the clubhead to hit the ball fi rst and bottom out on the target side of it. If you do that consistently, you’ll have excellent distance control.

When playing a normal chip shot (more roll, less carry), make sure your shoulders are level at address. Amateurs often tilt their left shoulder upward, as if they were playing a full shot, which causes the clubhead to bottom out behind the ball and hit

it fat or thin. Place the ball slightly back in your stance and shift your weight to your left side. This will promote a steeper, more descending downswing and proper ball-turf contact for a solid shot.

With 165 parks, Saanich Parks has something for everyone – ocean beaches, creeks, lakes, meadows, forests, playgrounds, gardens, viewpoints, multi-use trails and sports fi elds. Working in partnership with the community, our mission is to create a quality of life that supports healthy lifestyles and preserves and protects our natural environment.

With the warmer weather and increased park use come a variety of maintenance tasks that Parks staff tackles each spring. Here are some of the services we provide in the spring that we get the most questions about and what you can expect from us:

MOWINGParks, sports fi elds and boulevard lawns throughout Saanich are mowed on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. We strive to reach all parks as soon as possible in the spring, but with the rapid growth and wet conditions, it takes at least three weeks to complete the fi rst cycle.

ROUGH AND ROADSIDE MOWING Saanich has over 300km of undeveloped roadsides and 60 undeveloped park locations that are rough mowed 1-2 times per year. This program runs from late May

through July each year. Scheduling of the routes is adapted to suit geographical effi ciency, safety and sightline concerns, type of vegetation, ground conditions and environmental considerations such as wildfl owers bloom times.

TRAIL MAINTENANCE Our trail crew clears back vegetation from our 95+ kilometres of developed trails and 37 beach accesses in Saanich. This work takes place between May and July each year and is dependant on the type of vegetation and environmental considerations such as wildfl owers and nesting birds.

PARKING LOT DUST CONTROL A magnesium chloride solution is applied to gravel parking lots in June each year to reduce dust. This solution fi xes moisture

from the air to the dust particles, reducing the amount that gets airborne.

SOCCER FIELD RENOVATIONSThere are 19 grass soccer fi elds in Saanich supporting over 5500 registered soccer players in 6 different home clubs. Soccer plays from September to April each year, and our crews have three months to restore the grass to be ready for the following soccer season and to support other community uses. We have an aggressive program to optimize topdressing, overseeding, fertilizer application, irrigation, aeration and a variety of other turf management techniques. Often, this requires the closure of soccer fi elds while the new grass takes seed, and we appreciate the understanding of the Clubs and the community in respecting these closures, if required.

FOR ALL PARKS INQUIRIES CALL 250-475-5522If you have any concerns or notice any hazards you can submit an online request for service at

www.saanichparks.ca or call the general parks line at (250) 475-5522.

Help Get Rid of Garlic Mustard!When it comes to invasive species, innocent ideas can have bad results. Garlic mustard (Allaria petiolata) is a native to Eurasia that was brought by settlers to North America as a pot-herb. But people didn’t realize this plant contains cyanide and other toxins that are unhealthy for many organisms, including people.

Where garlic mustard establishes, it changes the structure and function of the plant community, depleting habitat and depriving wildlife of essential food such as foliage, pollen, nectar, fruits, seeds, and roots. It even releases chemicals that are toxic to the eggs of some butterfl ies.

And because garlic mustard is native to a different part of the world, the diseases and predators that would normally keep it in check are not present here. The result is that garlic mustard has become one of the most prevalent and problematic invasive species in eastern North America’s deciduous forest communities. And it’s here it Saanich too…
