For more information, please contact Joanna Jarvis at the Fire Station at 503.831.3533. MEET YOUR COUNCILOR Each month we will use this space to highlight a different Councilor: Councilor Beth Jones lives in Dallas with her husband, Ray, and their two preschool-aged children. Ray serves with the 1249th Oregon Army Guard. Both Beth and Ray lived in many cities and states before making Dallas their home in 2004. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, Beth worked in restaurant and retail management. She earned a BS in Psychology/Family Studies from Corban University in 2010 and an AA in Multimedia/Design from The Art Institute of Houston in 2005. In addition to serving on City Council, Beth started Bambinos in 2008. Bambinos is an outreach 2 | P a g e ministry that serves low-income families in Dallas. As of April 2011, 97 families have been assisted with clothing, diapers, furniture, and numerous other supplies. Serving the community in which she lives is a passion and responsibility she takes seriously. Beth is also a Family Readiness Group (FRG) Coordinator during the deployment of her husband and brother with the 1249th HHC. Councilor Jones would like you to know “As your City Councilor, I would like to hear your thoughts about... anything! No matter how busy my life may seem from the outside I will always make time for you. No act of public service has value apart from connecting with, and serving, individuals. That's why I love being a part of our City Council... YOU!” NATIONAL NIGHT OUT “Give Neighborhood Crime & Drugs A Going Away Party” America's Night Out Against Crime! The "28th Annual National Night Out" (NNO), a unique crime/drug prevention event sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), has been scheduled for Tuesday, August 2, 2011. We cordially invite you to be a part of our NIGHT OUT 2011 TEAM. Last year's National Night Out campaign involved citizens, law enforcement agencies, civic groups, businesses, neighborhood organizations, and local officials from over 15,000 communities from all 50 states, U.S. territories, Canadian cities, and military bases worldwide. In all, over 37 million people participated in National Night Out 2010. NATIONAL NIGHT OUT is designed to: • Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness; • Generate support for, and participation in, local anticrime programs; • Strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships; and • Send a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. National Night Out is traditionally a display of outdoor lights and front porch vigils. It is also a time for cities and neighborhoods to celebrate with a variety of events and activities such as: block parties, cookouts, visits from local police department and flashlight walks. NNO has proven to be an effective, inexpensive and enjoyable program to promote neighborhood spirit and police-community partnerships in our fight for a safer nation. Plus, the benefits our community will derive from NNO will certainly extend well beyond the one night. This year the City of Dallas representatives, police officers and “McGruff the Crime Dog”, plan to visit our active Neighborhood Watch groups and neighborhoods that will be hosting a registered National Night Out event in their neighborhood. To register you neighborhood just contact the police department at 503-831-3516 and ask for a National Night Out participation form. If you and your neighbors would like to become an active Neighborhood Watch group contact the Dallas Police Department’s Community Liaison at 503-831-3582 and ask for your FREE Neighborhood Watch starter packet. ”Participation in Neighborhood Watch can help reduce crime and make the neighborhood you live in a safer place.” 3 | P a g e LOW WATER PRESSURE Are you concerned about low water pressure? Usually the problem is low flow rather than low pressure. Generally when customers say not enough water is flowing from a tap or fixture, something on the customer’s property restricts flow. In some newer homes, especially at the higher elevations, automated irrigation systems can cause flow problems. If you notice low flow during the irrigation season, the automated irrigation system is the likely cause. Other common causes of insufficient water flow include: Galvanized plumbing pipes Corroded galvanized pipe in homes and businesses causes 75% of the water flow problems in homes. Do you have galvanized pipe? Pipes are often exposed near the hot water heater, under sinks, or on the property side of the water meter. Galvanized pipe is silver when new, dulling to gray as it ages. It was widely installed in homes built before 1980. You can quickly see if corrosion is a potential problem by making the following tests: Run three faucets in your house at the same time. If flow decreases significantly at the first tap when you turn the others on, your pipes are probably corroded. • If you have galvanized pipe and water is discolored when you first run the tap, you may have a corrosion problem. Let your tap run for 30 seconds or more – until the water feels noticeably colder. This flushes standing water out of the pipes and replaces it with fresh water. Low-flow fixtures Low-flow showerheads, faucet aerators, and toilets will reduce the flow of water. The state plumbing code has required that all toilets installed since 1992 be low-flow, high-efficiency fixtures. Parts inside low-flow shower-heads and faucet aerators can become clogged. Remove the fixtures and flush them out routinely to maintain water flow. What can I do about a low-flow problem? • • • • • • • Run water from only one tap at a time. Avoid watering the lawn when you are using water indoors. Avoid having the irrigation system running at 7:00 a.m. The City has noted that water usage in the summer consistently peaks at 7:00 a.m. Adjust the irrigation time-clock to complete the watering before 6:00 a.m. or begin the watering after 8:00 a.m. Ask yourself whether the flow changed recently. Have you recently had work done on your plumbing? Was your service shut off for some reason? Check to see that the valve at your meter is open. It should be in a straight line with the pipe. If it’s not, the Public Works Department can turn it for you. Call us at 503.831.3562. If corrosion is blocking the flow of water, you may need to replace pipe. Replacing galvanized pipe requires a plumbing permit from the City of Dallas, 503.831.3571. Consult a plumber to see if a pressure booster on your system might help. If pressure seems too low, and you have a pressure-reducing valve, the valve may have failed. Consult a plumber to check that the device is operating properly. Check cartridges on home water filter systems. If a cartridge is clogged, replace it. ARE YOU A DIY MECHANIC? Some of us prefer to work on our own vehicles; change the oil, service the transmission, change the wiper blades, etc. Did you know that Dallas Disposal will pick up and recycle your used motor oil right at your curbside (just leave it out by your garbage can in sealed plastic 4 | P a g e jugs on garbage day). If you prefer, you can take it to Dallas Disposal’s recycle center located at 1030 West Ellendale Ave. Many of the businesses that sell vehicle parts and service stations also accept used oil. Other fluids such as used antifreeze and transmission fluid can be taken to the household hazardous waste collection events sponsored by Polk County (visit their website at www.co.polk.or.us/HHW. Remember, be kind to our environment and never ever allow any used vehicle fluids to enter a storm drain, where it will ultimately end up in our creek. PRUNING POINTERS There are times when the size and shape of a shade tree need to be controlled. With care and skill, this can be accomplished without “topping” the tree (an all-too-common practice in the northwest). There are many reasons why you shouldn’t top your trees. First, topping removes so much of the crown of the tree that it temporarily cuts off its foodmaking ability, essentially starving the tree. Second, a tree’s crown is like an umbrella, shading much of it from the direct rays of the sun. By suddenly removing the protection, the remaining bark tissue can scald. Third, the large stubs of a topped tree have a hard time forming callus. This makes the stubs vulnerable to insect invasion and decay fungi spores. Another reason to avoid topping is that at best, the wood of a new limb that sprouts after a larger limb is cut off is more weakly attached than a normally developed limb. Reason number five to not top your trees is that while the goal of topping is usually to control the height and spread of a tree, it actually has the opposite effect. The resulting sprouts rapidly return to the trees original height and create a far more dense and dangerous crown. One more reason is that a topped tree is an ugly tree. Even with its regrowth, it never regains the grace and character of its species. Finally, while topping may cost less in the short run (it takes far less time and skill to top a tree), the true costs of topping are hidden. These include: reduced property value, expense of removal and replacement if the tree dies, the loss of other landscape plants if they succumb to changed light conditions, risk of liability from weakened branches, and increased future maintenance. So what are the alternatives to topping? First, start out by planting trees that will fit your available space when they reach maturity. Then, begin properly pruning early in the life of your tree. Tree City USA and the Arbor Day Foundation have a great deal of helpful information on their website (www.arborday.org) for proper pruning. To avoid rapid growth of your trees, avoid the use of nitrogen fertilizer. And finally, prune properly and regularly. A light pruning every three years will keep your tree healthy and will also have a less drastic effect on your landscape and financial assets than a neglected older tree. A GREEN CAR WASH? Planning a fundraiser car wash this summer or just planning to wash your own car? If so, avoid letting wash water enter nearby storm drains. Wash water contains pollutants and if it enters a storm drain it flows to our creeks, where it will harm fish and other aquatic organisms. Here are a few ways that you can make your car washing activities more environmentally friendly. • • Use a commercial car wash. Commercial car washes recycle the water they use and discharge what they cannot recycle to the sanitary sewer. Wash cars on gravel, grass, or other permeable surfaces. The wash water will 5 | P a g e • • • evaporate and/or soak into the ground, where it will be naturally filtered. Block off the storm drain during carwash events or use an insert to catch wash water and pump it to a sanitary sewer, grassy area or other landscape area. Use hoses with nozzles that automatically turn off when left unattended. Use only biodegradable soaps. Coconut and citrus based soap work well and break down easily in the environment without causing harm. If you want to be sure that your car wash is environmentally friendly, call the City Public Works Department at 502.831.3562. We will work with you and may have some suggestions for your car wash activity. We can also visit the site where you plan to have your fundraiser carwash and look for ways to minimize any environmental impact. DALLAS FRIENDS OF THE LIBRARY ANNUAL BOOK SALE Ready for the lazy days of summer? Need a good book to read while you relax and enjoy the good weather? Well, the Friends of the Dallas Public Library have just the thing for you – their Annual Book Sale is coming up soon. During Friday and Saturday of Summerfest, the Friends will be holding their Annual Book Sale at the Dallas Civic Center. The Book Sale will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday. However, on Saturday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. (the last hour of the Book Sale) they will have their traditional "Bag Sale” – fill a bag with books for just $3.00 per bag (2 bags for $5.00). In the interests of fair play, the Friends will clear out the room from 1:45 until 2, just prior to the Bag Sale, to straighten the books and prepare for this special "Closing" of the year's event. Since last year’s test run was so successful, if you are a Friends member in good standing (you’ve paid up your dues for 2011), there will be a special Pre-Sale, held Thursday from 4-6 p.m. The Friends are still accepting donations of materials in good condition. However, as in previous years, they are not able to accept Readers Digest Condensed Books, textbooks or magazines. Donations may be dropped off at the Library during open hours. If you have any questions about this event, please visit the Library at 950 Main St. or call us at 503.623.2633. COMPOSTING There are many benefits to starting your own compost pile, whether your end goal is a lower environmental impact, a better garden, or just a green, lush lawn. Compost provides benefits to soil it's used in, improving moisture absorption and drainage. This is especially true if your soil is of poor quality. That means that by using compost in your garden, you can grow more plants in soils they wouldn't ordinarily be suited for. While compost isn't a particularly effective fertilizer on its own, the reduction in runoff that results from its use makes existing fertilizers (both natural and chemical) a lot more effective. Fertilizer contamination of water is also reduced. The environmental benefits of using compost are significant. Making use of this material can help clean up contaminated soil, reducing runoff of toxic materials and binding some toxins. Compost can help reduce erosion on lake, stream, and river banks, as well as along roads. Composting also makes use of materials that would otherwise be waste, including food scraps, yard clippings, small animal bedding, and much more. Economic benefits of composting include reduction in the cost of fertilizer and other materials required for healthy plant production. This material is cheaper than using artificial soil, and 6 | P a g e helps cities and communities be environmentally responsible. You don't have to be a town or municipality to start a compost pile; anyone can make one in their own backyard, using "brown" matter - leaves, grass clippings, shredded paper, and similar materials - mixed with "green" matter - vegetable waste and the like. Make sure to keep your pile where it won't be accessible to scavengers, such as rats and opossums. Avoid including animal products and waste from meat eating pets in the pile or it can produce an unpleasant smell and attract pets. If you maintain your compost pile carefully, you'll be able to dispose of materials you'd otherwise have to throw out, and the reward will be great material for helping your plants grow. You'll know your compost is finished once it's dark, crumbly, and has no additional smell. You may see worms, snails, or slugs in the pile. Worms can be a great addition to your garden, but snails and slugs should be removed before adding compost to your plants, because they eat plant matter. You can spread compost around trees, on flower beds and vegetable gardens, and even on top of the lawn. Enjoy the great benefits of composting and start your own compost pile today.

We highly recommend that you get involved in these camps as well, because they provide funding for the high school, youth programs, and much more! The Free Summer Sports Programs provided by the City of Dallas for the 2011 summer has been a huge success. Dallas high school coaches have been excited to instruct young athletes in track, basketball, weights, speed and agility, and martial arts. The first day of camp began June 13. The basketball program had as many as 65 players in attendance, track 32, 7 | P a g e martial arts 34, and weights/speed and agility 30. The objective of this program is to keep kids active, continue to work on fundamentals, and build relationship with their soon-to-be high school coaches. Beginning July 5 and 7 the DHS football program will be offering free camps as well. July 5 will be offensive position and fundamentals and July 7 will be defensive positions.
