Grab a Partner!

We’re proud of the PARTNERS we’ve generated in the past few years to help provide new and improved recreational opportunities. These include but are not limited to Chimney Park re-Create, Boardwalk Park, Windsor Charter Academy play structure and the Poudre River Trail, just to name a few. Watch for a random survey early in the year from the YMCA, another potential partner for the Town of Windsor! The survey will focus on program gaps and amenities desired by the community.

But don’t wait to enjoy the benefits of parks and recreation – grab a PARTNER and try the Arbor Day 5K – see page 3, or try a fitness class on page 28, or even sign up for a ski or snowboard outing on page 19. There are plenty of opportunities for you and a PARTNER to get active, stay healthy, have fun and learn a lot!!! Come check out Windsor - your Link to quality of life!

Enjoy!

Eliot, CATS tells the story of the annual gathering of Jellicle cats at which time one special cat is selected to ascend to the Heaviside layer. A true musical theatre phenomenon, CATS opened at London’s New London Theatre on May 11, 1981 and ran for a record-setting 21 years. CATS’s London success was nearly matched on Broadway where it ran at the Wintergarden Theatre for just over 18 years.

A Full Vegetarian Course from India

Rice or Flat bread is a staple carbohydrate of an Indian meal. The meal builds on that with vegetables (subji), curries, chutneys, pickles, etc. as concurrent courses and finally ends with traditional desserts. A typical Indian vegetarian plays on the numerous variations of this plan to get a nutritionally balanced diet. This class teaches one of the popular variations prevalent in Northern India. In it, Basmati Rice is accompanied by Lentil Curry (proteins and micro nutrients), Spicy Cumin Potatoes, and Cilantro Chutney provide stronger flavors. The meal will end with a traditional Carrot Pudding and thus completes a balance meal in both nutrition and taste.

A $20 supply fee is payable to the instructor at the class.

Winter Watering Tips

• Dry air, little soil moisture & fluctuating temperatures are common during fall and winter. In the Front Range, it’s rare to have snow cover for a prolonged period of time.

• Severe drought stress can affect plant growth, health and vigor for years. Winter injury usually results in death of fine root hairs, which absorb water and nutrients.

Plants may also be weakened, resulting in increased disease and insect problems.

• Water plants only when daytime temperatures are above 40 degrees F. Apply water during the middle of the day so plants have time to soak up water before possible freezing at night.

• Plants near the foundation of the home or fences are more susceptible to injury due to reflected heat and intense sunlight.

• Established trees and shrubs should be watered every four weeks if there is no snow cover or natural precipitation.

Newly planted trees and shrubs should be watered every two weeks.

36

• Pay special care to evergreens, as their needles continue to lose water throughout the winter.

• As a general rule of thumb, apply ten gallons of water for each diameter inch of tree. For example, if the tree has a three inch diameter trunk, 30 gallons of water are needed at each watering.

• Winter watering is usually not necessary for established lawns. However, newly planted lawns (started within the last year) are more susceptible to winter injury and desiccation.

• Make note on a calendar when natural precipitation occurs. Remember that any water is beneficial to your plants, even if you cannot keep a rigorous schedule.

• For more information, visit the CSU Extension website at ext.colostate.edu and search for Fact Sheets #7.199 “Watering Established Lawns” and #7.211 “Fall and Winter Watering.”
