But to the dozen or so dogs romping in Robert E. Lee Park, it might as Archives well be springtime in the Garden of Eden. Find a Home New! They wrestle and bark. They chase and Community Links sniff. They frolic and play and dash about, Weather and their owners look on like proud parents. Classifieds Shop! Public Notices "Dogs are living creatures and they need Coupons a place to run and be free," said Jessica Silverberg, 23, whose dog Cola, a shepherd mix, is among the Contact Us happy pack of canines. Other Publications "It's a great place for them to socialize," agreed Beth Maeyer, 25, who is at the park with her boxer, Kaiya. Baltimore - Baltimore- Washington International Airport, MD "On a nice day, this big open area here is full of dogs. There might be 30 out here." For Silverberg and Maeyer _ and for Cola and Kaiya _ Robert E. Passing Clouds 72 ° Lee Park, tucked between Falls Road and Lake Roland just north Weather Center of Baltimore City, deserves the title bestowed in a recently by CustomWeather published book: The best place to walk your dog in the Baltimore area. Search The book is "A Bark in the Park: The 50 Best Places to Hike With Your Dog in the Baltimore Region." It was researched, written and published by Delaware author and entrepreneur Doug Gelbert, who, among other enterprises, runs Cruden Bay Books. http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?pnpid=812&show=archivedetails&Archiv... 10/13/2003 Lifetimes Page 2 of 3 News The latest in a series of dog-walking guides, the book was Search tips Advanced published late last year. True to the title, it ranks the top 50 places to walk your dog in greater Baltimore. Features But the book is more than a dry listing of parks. Each entry Local TV Listings includes a history of the park, detailed directions, a description of the trails, swimming possibilities (for dogs, of course), and more. Some entries also include additional, frequently quirky bits of information aimed at enticing visitors. The Lee Park entry, for example, besides declaring the park "the unofficial Baltimore dog park," points out that visitors can sit on a Greek revival structure, built as a valve house in 1862, and view the stone dam that created Lake Roland. In addition, the book includes advice on hiking with your dog (how to avoid ticks, whether to use dog booties, etc.), a section on particularly interesting sights at some of the parks (the gun battery at Fort Howard Park in east Baltimore County and the bald eagles at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Anne Arundel County, for example) and tips on taking your dog to the beach. It also includes a list of parks that exclude dogs _ which could come in handy for dog-haters looking to avoid canines on their solitary hikes. In truth, you don't need a dog to get some use out of "A Bark in the Park," which could serve as a guide to lesser-known, lesser- visited hiking areas for anyone interested in a walk in the park. For author Gelbert, however, the book's target audience is dog owners. "There are a lot of dog owners out there who are adventuresome enough that they want to get past the neighborhood park," said Gelbert. "They want to find a better place to walk with their dog." The Baltimore book is the latest in an expanding series of dog- walking guides and grew out of the author's own experiences, as a dog-owner and a hiker. Gelbert, 45, said he had been walking his dog in Delaware parks for 15 years when, a few years ago, a fellow owner recommended a small, isolated park. Her dog, she told him, loved it, and so did she. "It was five minutes away and I had never heard of it," recalled Gelbert in a recent telephone interview. "I went looking and when I found it, it had the best trails I'd ever seen in Delaware, outside a couple state parks. "It struck me that, at the risk of solitude, this was something that other people should know about." http://news.mywebpal.com/news_tool_v2.cfm?pnpid=812&show=archivedetails&Archiv... 10/13/2003 Lifetimes Page 3 of 3 Gelbert wrote and published books on dog walking in Delaware and Philadelphia before setting his sights on Baltimore. Close to his home base, an urban area with tens of thousands of dog- owners, Charm City was a natural subject. For the Baltimore book, he took a half-dozen short trips to the area. To get his information, he visited green areas on the map, seeing each first -hand, and quizzing dog owners he'd meet on the park's amenities and friendliness to dogs _ and on what other parks in the area were good for dogs. The result is 160 pages long and sells for $12.95 on the Web at hikewithyourdog.com and at local Barnes & Noble bookstores. The first printing of the book was 1,000, said Gelbert. While it has yet to go into a second printing, the book is selling "very well," he said. Gelbert, who also owns a couple of dog-washing shops in Delaware, already has authors working on dog-walking guides for Atlanta, El Paso and a few other areas. In fact, he hopes to publish a half-dozen new guides a year for the foreseeable future. "I think people love them," he said. As proof, he cites an encounter he had with a couple walking their dog in an isolated Philadelphia park a few years ago, while he was doing research for the Philly guide. The couple recognized his dog, which was pictured on the already- published Delaware guides. "Almost the first words out of their mouths were, `You're not going to write about this place, are you?'," recalled Gelbert. He did, of course. No doubt his latest book will annoy some local dog-owners, who treasure their solitary walks with their pet and are loathe to have their favorite park discovered by hordes of fellow walkers. But to others, the more the merrier. At least that would be the case for the dogs at Robert E. Lee Park. 'Dogs are living creatures and they need a place to run and be free.'

DESCRIPTORS Attitude Measures; *Cartoons; *Childhood Attitudes; Early Childhood Education; Higher Education; *Sex Role; *Sex Stereotypes; Television Research; *Television Viewing ABSTRACT This study, a part of a larger project, investigated what children learn about gender roles from cartoons and how these cartoons might color the children's view of the world. A total of 89 children ranging in age from four to nine were sampled from three different locations (a university-affiliated day-care center and two parochial schools near the university). Interviewers were eight trained senior-level university students in a Women and Communication class. Interviews with the children lasted from 4 to 10 minutes. Results indicated that:(1) children watched more "chase-and-pratfall" cartoons than any other type, but the favorite cartoon type for neavly half of the children was continuing adventure; (2) a strong correlation existed between continuing adventure cartoons and more stereotypically male behaviors; (3) children attributed more of all behaviors to boy characters than to girl characters;(4) both boys and girls

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.
