Summer 2015 Inside Irvine 1 inside the cit y manager’s office Letter Pool Safety First T Irvine City Manager Sean Joyce “This summer, you can make yourself and your children better prepared for water activities.” he annual Summer Issue that is now in your hands offers the most robust class and camp offerings of the year. There are fun and enriching activities for you and your family. This issue’s Activity Guide highlights camps, swim lessons, special events and pet programs. And that brings me to the most important message in this issue, which is pool safety. According to the Orange County Fire Authority, drowning accidents are the leading cause of injury and deaths among children under 5. More than 80 percent of drownings occur in residential area pools and spas. There are two important references to go to for further information: poolsafety.gov and ocfa.org (click on “Water Safety Information”). Among the matters to immediately take into consideration as our summer pool season begins: ■ Have a pool fence professionally installed. ■ Gates should be self-closing and self-latching, with the latch out of reach by small children. ■ Additional protection includes safety covers, alarms on doors and motion-detection devices. ■ Always have adult supervision. An adult water watcher is just that— he or she never takes their eyes off of the children in the pool. ■ If a child is missing, check the pool first. ■ Drowning is a silent killer. And it can be quick. Never leave children alone in or near the pool, even for a moment. ■ Set water safety rules for the whole family before entering the water. ■ Never swim alone. ■ Do not use a pool or spa if there are broken or missing drain covers. ■ Keep toys away from the pool, when the pool or spa area are not in use, to prevent young children from falling in after a toy. This summer, you can make yourself and your children better prepared for water activities. Please see: ■ Page 72 for CPR classes. ■ Page 78 for beginner swim classes for children, which also discusses pool safety. Lastly, keep a telephone at the pool area at all times. Have a great summer and have a safe summer. ■ 2 Inside Irvine Summer 2015 Public Safety Update Irvine Defined by Its Dynamic Diversity A s our great City continues to grow, new residents and families are moving to Irvine on a daily basis.

Summer 2015 Inside Irvine 7 S ome ti me s, that s e co nd adoption — along with some loving, tender care — is the best medicine. Genie’s Story Genie is a gorgeous white and tan, short-haired Chihuahua that originally came to the Irvine Animal Care Center as a 6-month-old stray named Jaime in August 2011. Genie was adopted out but was surrendered back in the beginning of February 2015. Then her big adventure began. She had a patella situation where her kneecap popped in and out of place. When being examined by one of the Center’s veterinary partners in Irvine, a more serious concern, a torn cruciate ligament in the rear left leg, was discovered. 8 Inside Irvine Summer 2015 Surgery has fixed the torn ligament and the patella. And she is now home…home for good: On March 12, Tyler Heer brought her to his family in Aliso Viejo. “One day I was on my way home and decided to stop by the shelter,” Heer recalled. “I walked down to the cages and she was about five or six down. She was just kind of sitting in a corner.” “Genie is like every animal I have met here at the Animal Care Center,” said Dr. James Greenwood, who was hired by the City of Irvine early in 2015 for an interim period to help navigate some troubled times and to provide insight and advice on protocols for improvement. “They would tell me, ‘Give me a chance; adopt me and the love I give will be the love you receive.’” The Irvine Animal Care Center cares for more than 2,800 lost, abandoned and homeless animals every year. Through City Council direction, City funds, donations, full-time and part-time staff and almost 300 active volunteers, those animals are nurtured, healed, provided enrichment as needed, and adopted to forever homes. More than 90 percent of all animals are either adopted from the Center or reunited with their owners. You and Your Pet Responsibility of having a pet falls upon the human partner. Consider the realities before you adopt an animal. Decision-making is important for two reasons—so that the animal lives a full and healthy life in a loving environment and to avoid irrational decisions that often lead to relinquishing a pet. Imagine your dog being comfortable on his couch on a Thursday and surrendered to a shelter on a Friday. Genie has found a forever home in her second adoption from the Irvine Animal Care Center Several programs are in place to reach that “Proud to Adopt” moment. These include: ■ THIRD CHANCE PROGRAM: Rescues animals from overcrowded shelters that offer limited chances for adoption. ■ seniors Helping Seniors PROGRAM: Matches those who are 62 or older who can benefit by being a pet owner with senior cats and dogs who are needing homes. ■ ENHANCED CARE: Animals that arrive injured, neglected and needing additional medical attention are treated through the Center to become healthy and adoptable. ■ FOSTER CARE: A number of volunteers foster animals not yet old enough to be placed for adoption, with trainable behavior challenges, or those recovering from medical issues. ■ ANIMAL SERVICES UNIT: The Irvine Police Department’s pro- Before you adopt, go over these humane and practical rules: ■ Microchip OPTION: You will want to microchip your animal through the shelter in case your pet becomes lost or stolen. ■ LICENSE: License your dog, as required by state law. ■ VACCINATIONS: Keep up with vaccinations by choosing a veterinarian, of which there are several in Irvine. ■ PREPARATION: Interact with your animal. Learn about the breed or gram is committed to protecting people and animals and promoting humane animal care and treatment. The unit responds promptly to calls for service. the mix. Dogs may need to play games, be walked or be taken for a run. All animals need attention. Pet adoption is not a one-day thing. It is rarely a passive activity. ■ Donations PROGRAM: An innovative and progressive center ■ CONSIDERATION: Be respectful of your neighbors. A barking dog such as the Irvine Animal Care Center requires the support of volunteers and donated funds for the many unique programs. Who knows the frightening experiences that Genie went through as a stray. But her story has a wonderful ending. “What got me,” said Heer, “was that she was quiet. There were several other people who were interested but didn’t adopt her, probably because of that surgery. But that didn’t stop us. “My wife and son—we’re taking a liking to her.” is your responsibility. ■ ENVIRONMENT: Clean up after your pet. A dirty house or yard is an unclean environment. ■ INTERACT: Talk and learn from longtime pet parents. ■ COMMUNICATION: Share your stories and compassion while sharing your rabbit, cat, dog or small pet, reminding visitors of the importance of adoption. ■ COMMITMENT: Be there. Always. Summer 2015 Inside Irvine 9 Seniors Helping Seniors City staff has improved the long- standing Seniors Helping Seniors program that matches those who are 62 or older who can benefit by being a pet owner with senior cats and dogs who are needing homes. The age in which an animal becomes a senior varies, but adopters can easily find the green stamp on a kennel card for quick identification. Sasha is a Third Chance border collie mix, adopted in April 2011 A Third Chance Sasha has her own personal story from the Center’s Third Chance program that rescues animals from overcrowded shelters that offer limited chances for adoption. First chance is a home; second chance is an overcrowded shelter. Third Chance means an adoptive home from the Center. In Fiscal Year 2013–2014, the Center had 1,944 adoptions. Of those, 462 were from the Third Chance Program—296 cats, 165 dogs and one rabbit. The program began in 2000 as Third Chance for Pets. Sasha, a border collie mix, was an 8-week-old at an overcrowded shelter. Sasha was in the pipeline to be transferred to the Center as part of the Third Chance program. An Orange County couple was wrapping up a full day at the Home for the Holidays event and saw Sasha’s photo. She would be arriving the next day. Did the couple want to meet her? Yes. That was 4 years ago, April 2011. Sasha was soon in her new home with another rescue, Buddy. Sasha gets a walk or two every day and a run or two every weekend. She is as advertised by her unique breed—happy, highly intelligent, energetic, always waiting for the next big adventure. In the real world, humans are destined to get a second chance; at the Irvine Animal Care Center, our animals deserve a Third Chance. 10 Inside Irvine Summer 2015 The Community Services Department has begun an intensive communications campaign to best inform the City’s seniors who visit the Lakeview and Rancho Senior Centers about the benefits of being a pet partner, as well as things to consider before adopting. In addition, the TRIPS shuttle that takes seniors to locations of their choice that range from the doctor’s office to grocery shopping, has added the Irvine Animal Care Center as a preferred location, as requested. Center staff also are better prepared to explain the program to visiting seniors which includes a very good price: Adoption is free. ■ The Irvine Animal Care Center Our Mission ■ Provide a safe, clean, caring and enriching environment that meets the high standards of our community. ■ Place all adoptable animals into permanent, loving, responsible pet homes and reunite owner-identified animals. ■ Promote human responsibility for companion animals. Irvine Animal Care Center staff and volunteers 9th Annual Super Pet Adoption June 7 ■ 10 a.m.– 4 p.m. More than 50 pet rescue groups and animal shelters will bring more than 800 dogs, cats, rabbits and small animals for human greeting and adoption. Vendors, refreshments, free advice, low-cost microchips and silent auction. Admission is $1; free parking. Leashed and vaccinated dogs are welcome. More Ways to Help An innovative and progressive center such as the Irvine Animal Care Center requires the support of volunteers and donated funds for its many unique programs. Donations can be directed to the Center for specific options such as Third Chance, Extended Care and Enhanced Care. Or, they can be in the form of sponsorships—of a special event, or a kennel. To give an example of how the donated dollar stretches: ■ $500: covers medical expenses for an abandoned animal. ■ $20: feeds a litter of unweaned kittens for 10 days. ■ $10: provides fresh vegetables for 10 rabbits for a week. Donations also are accepted in the form of products, such as carriers and blankets. The greatest donation comes from the volunteers themselves, whose dedication and time is the equivalent of 13 full-time positions each year.

Visitors can enjoy the City’s permanently preserved open space, either by starting at a trailhead or joining a scheduled program. If you would like to explore the unique and special areas of the City of Irvine Open Space Preserve this summer, here are five ways to get started. 1 2 Start with a Loop Trail There are many types of trails throughout the open space—from flat, wide paths to challenging uphill trails leading to spectacular views. If you’re not sure where to start, try the Quail Hill Loop Trail. This 2-mile loop is open daily from dawn to dusk, and guides visitors along through a cell phone audio tour. 3 Enjoy Family Time Outdoors In addition to summer camps for kids, there are many family-friendly outdoor programs. Experience the outdoors together by registering for family campouts in Bommer Canyon (Page 20), or by joining your child on activities led by Irvine Ranch Conservancy naturalists. The “Canyon Explorers” and “JOY for Nature”monthly programs lure children to the outdoors through activities about wildlife, astronomy, wildfire and habitats. Experience Yoga Under a Sycamore Tree The Conservancy offers a free weekly yoga program in Bommer Canyon. The evening activity helps you take your fitness routine outdoors while still avoiding the summer heat; the peacefulness of yoga is enhanced by the natural surroundings. 4 5 Go with a Guide Head to the Ocean More than 300 guided activities are offered in the Open Space each year. Trained naturalists and Conservancy staff lead hikes, mountain bike rides, birding tours and more. These guided activities are perfect if you want to explore while learning more about nature or to just make sure you’re on the right track. You can also visit the monthly Wilderness Access Days in Bommer Canyon, to explore on your own with the help of volunteers along the trail. Bommer Canyon gets cool sea breezes in the summer, since it is just miles from the Pacific Ocean. If you’re a mountain biker or experienced hiker, you can travel from Bommer Canyon to Crystal Cove State Park along seven miles of trails that are open daily. Some people have a friend drop them off at Bommer and then meet them at the beach, while mountain bikers and more advanced hikers make the 14-mile round trip.

He also previously served the City as Chief Building Official as well as in other capacities. A City employee since 1985, his education and background are in engineering and he is a licensed Civil and Structural Engineer. Q: How would you define the Great Park in 2015? A: It is an active park offering a wide variety of recreational, cultural, educational and entertainment amenities and programs enjoyed by thousands of visitors each week. It is also a great place for just relaxing. Other parts of the Great Park are active construction areas, making way for a 688-acre expansion. Q: Please explain a little more about the 688 acres. A: Over the five-year phased construction period, 688 acres of the Great Park will be developed to include: a sports park supporting soccer, baseball, softball, tennis, volleyball, basketball and multi-use field sports; landscaped passive park areas with paths, trails and children’s play areas; a golf course and clubhouse; an agricultural legacy area; and a wildlife corridor to connect coastal and inland wildlife habitats. Construction began in 2014 with the demolition of runways and site preparation in the first phase area. Q: Please explain to the community how the former base is split between public and private ownership. A: All property transferred to the City of Irvine for use as the Orange County Great Park was dedicated, and remains dedicated, for public park related uses. Heritage Fields Great Park Neighborhoods is the name given to the private development on private property adjoining the Great Park. The former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro base property was purchased by privately owned Heritage Fields El Toro, LLC (Heritage Fields) from the United States government in 2005 with the exception of former base property retained by the federal government. Land for the Orange County Great Park was then transferred from private Heritage Fields ownership to public City ownership. Home construction such as the Pavilion Park development and commercial construction such as the new headquarters for Broadcom Corporation only occur on the private property retained by Heritage Fields that was not transferred for public uses. ■ Assistant City Manager, Orange County Great Park, Eric Tolles, coordinates the development and operations of the Great Park. “All property transferred to the City of Irvine for use as the Orange County Great Park was dedicated, and remains dedicated, for public park related uses.” — Eric Tolles Do you have a question for Inside Irvine?
