HELP YOUR YARDS IN DROUGHT & EARN A REBATE

Now is the time to prepare your yard for Austin’s long hot summer. By using a combination of mulch, compost and aerating your lawn, you will be prepared for what the long hot days of summer can do to your yard. These techniques will ensure that water stays on your yard, reducing the need for supplemental irrigation.

DilloDirt™ made by the City of Austin is an acceptable form of compost on the application materials. For a list of vendors, visit:

Rebates Available• Compost: 1.5 cubic yards or 40 cubic feet -- Rebate $30• Mulch: 3 cubic yards or 80 cubic feet -- Rebate $40• Core aeration service for entire front and/or back lawn area

(equipment rental is acceptable) -- Rebate $50• The rebate for doing all three -- $180 (with $60 bonus)

How It Works• Buy the drought survival tools listed on the application. Keep

the receipts.• Install the drought survival tools in your yard.• Take photos of the completed work.• Turn in application, receipts and photos.

Keep an Eye on Your Items The Hunter’s Chase park and playground generally is a very

safe area. However, residents should remember that the area is not immune to crime, namely theft. Pranksters also can be a concern. When at the park and playground, keep an eye on your items.

A recent incident serves as a reminder, as one resident believes her keys were taken from her while watching her children at the playground. The keys were recovered, but the location they were found was in an area of the park she had not been near, leading to strong suspicion someone took them from her belongings when she was unaware.

Heat illnesses are easily preventable by taking precautions in hot weather. Children, elderly, and obese people have a higher risk of developing heat illness. People taking certain medications or drinking alcohol also have a higher risk. However, even a top athlete in superb condition can succumb to heat illness if he or she ignores the warning signs. If the problem isn’t addressed, heat cramps can lead to heat exhaustion, which can progress to heatstroke. Heatstroke, the most serious of the three, can cause shock, brain damage, organ failure, and even death.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS:Heat Cramps

• Sweating • Pain in arms, legs, and abdomenHeat Exhaustion

• Moist, pale skin• Fatigue and fainting• Dizziness and lightheadedness

• Headache and confusion• Nausea and vomiting• Rapid pulse and breathing

Heat Stroke• No sweating• Dry, hot, red skin• Confusion/loss of consciousness

• Rapid pulse• Temperature over 103º F• Seizures

CAUSES:• High temperatures or humidity• Dehydration• Prolonged or excessive exercise• Excess clothing• Alcohol use

• Medications, such as diuretics, neuroleptics, phenothiazines, and anticholinergics

• Cardiovascular disease

WHAT TO DO IN HEAT EMERGENCIES...1. Have the person lie down in a cool place. Elevate the person’s feet

about 12 inches.2. Apply cool, wet cloths (or cool water directly) to the person’s skin

and use a fan to lower body temperature. Place cold compresses on the person’s neck, groin, and armpits.

3. If the person is alert, give cool water or sports beverages. It’s advisable to drink slowly and steadily, particularly if they are experiencing nausea.

4. For muscle cramps, give beverages as above, and massage and stretch affected muscles gently, but firmly, until they relax.

5. If the person shows signs of shock (bluish lips and fingernails, and decreased alertness), starts having seizures, or loses consciousness, call 911 and continue cooling procedures, as described above.
