Letter From The President Shared services partnerships or intergovernmental agreements are good ways to establish mutually beneficial relationships between institutions. The benefits of these relationships are significant, especially when it comes to controlling costs, and it’s likely that AHPD will be doing more of this ‘sharing’ in the future as a way to keep budgets in check while continuing to meet the needs and demands of the communities we serve. Our recent collaboration with School District 214 will allow us to share the costs associated with installing a synthetic turf field at Hersey High School. AHPD will also share the use of the field to offer new programming including men’s football, soccer and lacrosse, to name a few. Sharing requires collaboration as different groups work together to provide a service, minimize redundancy, maintain an existing or build a new facility or asset. Although collaboration has potential glitches, we have found that– depending on the project-the advantages outweigh the challenges. Some of the reasons we believe in sharing include: 1. Pooled purchasing and shared administration can reduce costs. 2. Establishment of best practices and policies can extend to other projects. 3. Standardization of systems can create more cohesion in the community. 4. Sharing resources can create higher levels customer service. 5. Successful initial projects have led to more complex arrangements. For, example, shared personnel with the Historical Museum and shared space at the Senior Center. The AHPD looks forward to imparting the lesson of sharing each and every day. We invite you to share your love of nature, dance, swimming, tennis, golf or any other activity you believe in/with someone. Together we can continue our legacy of building a community that believes not only in sharing but in thinking about future generations and how they will benefit from the lessons we all have learned at the Park District. We hope to see you enjoying yourselves at our parks this Fall. Maryfran Leno, President Arlington Heights Board of Commissioners

Program guide delivery What if I don’t receive a Program Guide by the delivery date?

The Arlington Heights Park District uses a door to door service to deliver the guide to residents prior to each program session or four times per year.

We would like to know as soon as possible if you do not receive a Guide. Listed below are the delivery dates for Winter 2012 through Summer 2012.

Why choose a delivery service over bulk mailing through the Post Office?

Guide Winter 2012 Spring 2012 Summer 2012

There are several reasons: • The benefit of the delivery service is a significant cost savings over mailing. It also allows us to target delivery to Park District residents. • The amount of time needed to deliver the Guide through the delivery service is 1-3 days. • Through the post office, the requirement for bulk mailing is 10-12 days. • Because the service indicates delivery in three days, we can find out in a timely manner those households that did not receive a Guide and re-deliver sooner. It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries. It is our goal to minimize the number of non-deliveries and work with the delivery service to identify where problems occurred and to improve the service. Our #1 priority is to make sure those individuals and families, who want the Park District Program Guide, receive it.

Delivery Date (Saturdays) November 19, 2011 January 28, 2012 April 21, 2012

Please mark your calendar and if you do not receive a Guide delivered near your front door or porch by the date indicated above; call 847.577.3003, ext 5353. We consistently work with the service for front door/ porch delivery; however on occasion the guide may be delivered in your driveway. There are three other options if you do not receive the Guide by the delivery date; you may stop by any Park District facility or view the the new interactive guide online at ahpd.org. You may also print the guide from a pdf file located on the Park District’s home page. We hope this article provides you with additional information on how the Program Guide is delivered and the process to follow for re-delivery.

Cicada Wasps in the Parks We’ve Got

Has an Arlington Heights Park District staff member exceeded your expectations in any of the areas listed above? If so, please take a few moments to fill out a C.L.A.S.S. employee nomination form. Forms are available at the registration desk of each park facility and on our website: ahpd.org. The Arlington Heights Park District staff member you nominate receives a copy of your nomination, a commemorative pin, and is eligible to win a quarterly prize. Quarterly winners are eligible for annual grand prizes. All quarterly nominees and winners are announced and recognized at the end of each quarter. The annual winners are announced in December.

Group Outings Interested in a Golf Outing at the Arlington Lakes Golf Course or Nickol Knoll Golf Course? The Golf Supervisor at Arlington Lakes is able to assist your company, group, or league in scheduling special weekend golf outings. Outings must include food and beverage. To make your arrangements, please call Jim Hoch at 847.577.3032.

Vandalism and Maintenance Hotline Residents can report vandalism and park maintenance concerns on our 24-hour hotline 847.577.3003 press 8. One call to this number will forward the information quickly any time, day or night. A recorded message asks for a detailed description of the problem and the location. The line does not supersede an emergency call to 911.

Creating A Healthy Environment In response to the national concern of smoking at public facilities, the Park District seeks to create a healthy environment for employees, program participants, park guests and visitors. Park District facilities and vehicles have been designated as non-smoking areas. Our facilities include the buildings, fenced outdoor pool areas and athletic fields.

Female Cicada Killer Wasps can sting, but seldom do. A scale of sting pain developed by biologists for rating the intensity of stings ranges from 0 to 4 (0 being the least pain and 4 the most pain). The female sting is between 0 and 1 on that scale. Those who may be allergic still need to take the same caution they normally do. The Arlington Heights Park District has tried several methods of control including removing sections of soil and sand and replacing with new material hoping to break their life cycle. If you have any questions please call the Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013 or check out additional information on the Cicada Killer Wasps at ahpd.org.

Please Don’t Feed The Wildlife: Food Determines Numbers As you may be aware our flocks of geese and ducks have increased yearly. One of the causes of this is artificial feeding. Your well-intended snacks for our feathered friends decreases their ability to survive on the available natural food and makes them susceptible to disease and other predators. Snack food invites more geese and ducks and the additional food is usually of poor or improper nutritional quality. The ultimate solution is to STOP FEEDING THE BIRDS. Pampering them does no good.

Recycling in the Parks You may have noticed something new in the past couples of years in our parks. Our green garbage containers now double as recycling cans. In an effort to become a greener component to our community, the Park District has partnered with Groot Recycling and Waste Services. Here’s how it works. All the trash collected in our small garbage trucks will be hauled and dumped at Groot’s facility in Elk Grove Village. This state of the art recycling/waste facility separates the recyclable material from the solid waste. For our special events and for some of our higher use facilities and parks we will be providing special containers with special liners to assist in the front end collection. If you have any further questions please contact Frontier Service Center at 847.577.3013.

Help us recognize our most outstanding employees! A employee excels in one or more of the following areas: • Customer Satisfaction - striving to continually meet and exceed customers’ expectations. • Leadership - taking initiative in all aspects of our jobs, and mentoring staff to help them reach their full potential. • Attitude - embracing a positive, professional, and helpful presence at all times. • Service - treating every customer respectfully and competently, and putting the utmost value on meeting the needs of both our external and internal customers. • Safety - approaching all aspects of our work in a safe and sensible manner.

In 2009 the Arlington Heights Park District became all too familiar with Sphecius speciosus. What is Sphecius speciosus? Better known as (and it sounds worse than it is) Cicada Killer Wasp. Cicada Killer Wasps are, in fact, quite harmless. They are most commonly confused with European hornets. The most visible of these are the males, which cannot sting. Although the males may appear to be aggressive or chase you, they are probably just trying to orient themselves because you are a new large object in their habitat.

Community

NWSRA Providing recreation services to individuals with special needs Arlington Heights Park District is a member of a 16-park district cooperative which forms the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA).

AQUATICS

This popular form of exercise is great for anyone looking to get a good workout without the aching and soreness. The buoyancy and resistance of the water allows participants to work hard without the pain. All classes include strengthening muscles and an aerobic workout. Our instructors have professional certifications through the AEA, SCW, The Arthritis Foundation and more. Water exercise is offered in both shallow and deep water, but participants do not need to know how to swim. Hydro-Fit equipment is used in all classes and flotation belts are worn in the deep water.

Those interested in becoming a lifeguard have to participate in a screening process. The purpose of the screening is to give you an opportunity to see what the job is about and to see if you have the physical skills and endurance necessary to be a successful lifeguard. There will be several off these screening classes offered in winter and spring of 2012. Please look for them in those program guides. As of the printing of the Fall program guide, those dates cannot be determined yet. To summarize, those interested in being a new lifeguard have to apply, register for a screening in either the winter or spring, and then take the lifeguard training class in May or June of 2012. During May and early June there are several required job trainings that all staff must attend.

All of the positions have an age cut off: To enroll in a lifeguard class you must be 15 years old by the last day of the class. To work as a swim instructor you must be 15 years old by June 1, 2012.

How the wait lists are handled for swim lessons?

Olympic

First Day of Lessons: It is important for parents to attend the first day of the session for swim lessons to find out how the lessons operate and who to speak with if you have questions. On the first day of class, participants find out who their instructor is, who the Lesson Coordinators are, when Parent’s Day is held and the general operation of the lesson program for that particular pool. You will be able to pick up a parent letter, which has a listing of any conflict dates for your convenience. You will also be able to pick up a parent packet which has a detailed listing of all the skills that are taught in Water Babies through Swim School. You can also view this on-line at ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm.

Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, Swim School II, and Semi Private Swim School. Participants can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School during a session. Participants are evaluated by a lesson coordinator periodically throughout the session. There is no magic number of how many times a child will be tested. It is an unreal expectation to test every participant every day. The lesson coordinator discusses the daily lesson activity with the swim instructors prior to class and reviews the class sheets to plan their evaluations for the day. Every day is different and there is not a set pattern in how evaluations are done. It is never our intent to frustrate participants or parents. Our goal is for the participant to learn and have fun.

If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to refund off the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.

Questions or Comments: During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible the supervision of the day’s activities. In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Steve Neill 847.590.6059, sjneill@ahpd.org.

Diving (5-12 yrs) Our diving program is designed to promote safety and a basic introduction to diving. There are two levels - beginner and intermediate. To enroll in intermediate, you must have completed at least one session of beginner and be granted instructor approval. Divers are given specific goals that will help their skill development. Divers are encouraged to attempt new dives and explore the possibilities of what they can learn. The ratio is one instructor per five students. Beginning divers must be able to swim 15 yards. The three-step approach, front, back, and twist dives are taught at the beginning level. Intermediate students will be introduced to new challenges such as flip and twist combinations. As students progress and gain skills, our instructor will continue to present new challenges.

Swim School (5-12 yrs) The ratio is six students per one instructor. These fun and exciting classes introduce and help develop stroke coordination and comfort in the water. The program has ten levels to help your child learn beginning through advanced swimming and safety skills. While many of the activities are repetitive, studies indicate that this is the best way for young children to learn. Frequency is the key to water adjustment and learning. All children learn at a different pace and will advance through the ten levels at a different pace. Just because a child does not advance a level does not mean they are not learning. Try to attend all classes and include swimming in your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recreational activities. Did you know that once your child graduates from swim school they can still register for Swim School and participate in the tenth and final level, Graduate Swim School? This level focuses on refining the six swim strokes, and building endurance.Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program. Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes.

The Arlington Muskie Swim Team is a recreational swim program for youth up to 18 years of age. The emphasis of the program is placed on learning competitive skills, enjoyment of the sport, and lifelong participation in swimming. The program is designed with the mid-level swimmer in mind. The Muskie Swim Team competes in dual meets and finishes the season with a championship meet. It is the intent of the program to produce well-rounded swimmers with good technique. In order to maintain a quality program and accommodate a large number of swimmers, the team will be split into two squads. We believe that the two-squad system allows swimmers to compete and place in more events at dual meets. This will allow each individual to gain self-esteem and confidence by competing against other swimmers at their appropriate level. Squads will be determined using time trials. The top overall swimmers in each age group will make up the black squad and the remainder of the swimmers will make up the red squad. A red squad will not be formed for any age group/gender that has less than 12 swimmers. Squad rosters will be posted by Monday, October 10 on the Muskie bulletin board and our website teamunify.com/niamst. In order to keep the time trials less stressful we are asking that parents remain off the pool deck and in the bleachers.

Potential coaches will have the opportunity to swim in meets with the Muskies while working eight hours per month at either swim practices or swim meets.

Introductory coaches will be working to help develop strokes of young swimmers ages 6-10. Applicants must sign up and will be called in for an interview with Tim Jaskiewicz, Aquatic Facility Supervisor. After being asked to coach with the team each applicant will be given a schedule.

Quickstart Tennis Program Forest View is proud to offer the Quickstart Tennis method of teaching for young junior players as the first of three phases of our lesson program. We believe that this is the best way to get students playing tennis at young ages with solid technique. Racquets, balls, and courts will be sized appropriately for each age, size, and ability level with the goal being to get kids playing tennis earlier in the learning process. Emphasis being placed on movement and body awareness, culminating in early rallies between student and instructor and soon thereafter from student to student. We are looking forward to grooming the next generation of northwest suburban tennis players with this initiative.

QuickStart Tennis QuickStart Tennis is designed to introduce children to the game through an innovative format. Instructors will use modified courts, nets, racquets and balls. This enables younger students to practice and play real tennis to scale. Students will be able to play and learn at the same time. Quickstart Tennis is designed for children who are new to the game of tennis. NOTE: All students are advised to purchase a 19-21 inch tennis racquet, as practice outside of class is stressed; however, racquets will be available to use during class.

Preschool building blocks Preschool Classes for 3-5 Year Olds About the Instructors: Skilled professionals schooled in early childhood and/or elementary education, teach the preschool program. Our instructors are kept informed of current trends in education by attending early childhood workshops and conferences throughout the year. Our teachers help the children develop new interests, learn good work habits, follow directions, socialize, share and establish self-direction. About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting number 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play. Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2011; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2011. Proof of age is required at the time of registration. All participants are required to provide snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program several times throughout the school year. Sign-up for the snack dates is conducted in the fall. Parent helpers in the 3-4 year old program is optional. Talk to your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teacher if you are interested in assisting in the classrooms on an occasional basis.

On My Way- New Transition Class This class helps ease a child’s transition from being with a parent to functioning on his own. Gradual weaning away from dependency on your presence will occur after the first couple of weeks. Class time includes an introduction to the preschool setting with playtime, stories, music and movement plus lots of fun toys to climb on and around. Parents will be required to stay in close proximity in case of diaper change. This is the perfect time to run a quick errand or take a walk. In addition, we will ask each parent or caregiver to rotate in the class once to stay and see up close all the fun we have independently.

Karate stamina Which Karate Program is right for me? The Park District offers two different Karate Programs: The Illinois Shotokan Karate Club and the Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program. These are two distinctively different programs. Programs cover ages 4 through adults.

Karate

What is the difference? The Illinois Shotokan Karate Club instructs the following Karate Programs: Pre-Karate, Parent / Child Karate, and Youth and Adult Karate. The program stresses the development of cardiovascular fitness, coordination, strength, and karate skills. Personal safety skills and self-defense skills are also taught at the appropriate levels. The Kid’s Karate Club and Safety Time Program specializes in teaching the martial arts and safety to children ages 4-15 years. The program revolves around family involvement and stresses respect. Parents may attend class with their child by signing up for the Parent Helper Program. Both programs are motivational and encourage participants to do their best in all activities, including school and other sports.

Are the Levels and Association of Color of Belts the same? No. Because these are distinctively different programs, the Levels and Association of Color of Belts are not the same. If you choose to switch from one program to another, you may not be placed in the same Level or considered at the same Color of Belt.

Let’s face it.... we all get nervous when we know people are watching us take a shot. Here is the perfect answer. Play in the dark! That way no one can see you swing. If you haven’t tried Night Golf, you are missing out on an opportunity to experience the game from a totally different perspective. Specially designed balls with a green glow stick are used in place of a regular golf ball. Afraid you won’t find the ball? Don’t be....it’s actually easier than finding it in the daylight. Book a private outing with 20 or more golfers, or join us as a foursome during one of the scheduled outings open to the public. Cost: $22 per person covers greens fees and equipment. Bring your clubs and flashlight. Have the time of your life. Call 847.590.6050 to register. NIGHT GOLF... it might be right for you.

Park Foundation for the greener good The Drive to Revive Memorial Park Arlington Heights Park Foundation Founded in 2001, the Arlington Heights Park Foundation is a 501(c) (3) not-for-profit organization that supports Arlington Heights Park District programs and events. The Arlington Heights Park Foundation’s goal is to stimulate further interest in parks and recreation by encouraging volunteerism and outside resources to enhance the Arlington Heights Park District programs, parks, facilities, and services. The Board encourages community members who have interest in these areas to contact 847.506.7141 for more information.

Foundation Board Members • Mike Gordon, President • Greg Padovani • Stephanie Bertelsen, Vice President • Steve Scholten • Carol Gabrieslen • Terry Steczo • Michael O’Brien • Donna Wilson, Treasurer • Rob Nesvacil Visit our web site at ahparkfoundation.org or contact Anita Pacheco, Superintendent of Marketing at 847.506.7141.

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families. Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington Heights exclusively dedicated to veterans. Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, each year this site serves as a gathering point for the community to pay tribute to veterans from all the branches of the armed services in a solemn ceremony at the closing of the Memorial Day Parade. Committed to honoring the sacrifices of Civil War veterans, Dr. John Best, a Civil War veteran himself, donated land to the Village for a Soldiers Memorial in 1883 to serve as a tribute to those who had served and sacrificed for the Union. In 1925, the Village donated the Park to the new Arlington Heights Park District and the new Memorial Park was dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history. Working with the Park District since 2006 to rebuild Memorial Park, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee and other organizations developed a beautiful new design and the park now features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington Heights veterans have served; and commemorative bricks to honor individual veterans. To date, over 300 individual veterans are honored at Memorial Park. By purchasing a Commemorative Brick in the Central Plaza of Memorial Park you may honor any veteran from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war).

CELEBRATE THE VILLAGE OF ARLINGTON HEIGHTS QUASQUICENTENNIAL! SHOWCASE WHAT MAKES OUR VILLAGE GREAT January 18, 2012 marks the Village’s “Quasquicentennial,” or 125 years since the Village was incorporated into “Arlington Heights.” Prior to becoming Arlington Heights, the Village was also known as Dunton, Bradley and West Wheeling. To celebrate, the Village of Arlington Heights will be honoring its history, progress and future throughout the year 2012. The Quasquicentennial’s theme is “Honor the Past. Celebrate the Present. Explore the Future.” The Village is encouraging everyone to participate in the celebration –residents, children, businesses, civic organizations, churches and schools, For example, if you or your group is holding a celebration in 2012, consider embracing the theme as part of your celebration. Or, display the Quasquicentennial logo in your 2012 published materials to show your pride in our community’s rich history. The 125th anniversary celebration will be kicked off at the annual Tree Lighting event held in North School Park on Friday, November 25, 2011. The Quasquicentennial Committee, consisting of residents, business leaders and government officials, will encourage as many people as possible to share in the history and pride of Arlington Heights’ 125 years. One example of an activity that embraces the Quasquicentennial celebration is an upcoming “Night at the Museum … 125 Years of Arlington Heights History Comes Alive” held on Friday, November 18, 2011 from 6:30 – 10 p.m. Visit www.ahmuseum.org for more information.

Plan to frequently check the Village’s website, www.vah.com, to learn of other activities planned and to find out about the one-of-a-kind items that can be purchased to commemorate the Quasquicentennial. Starting now and throughout 2012, the Committee is offering unique commemorative items that may be purchased: • A 2012 commemorative calendar will showcase unique artwork and photos of the past and present, while also capturing the spirit of the future of Arlington Heights. • Specialized Quasquicentennial street banners that can feature the name of a business, organization, neighborhood, or family. Have your street banner displayed in the Village for over a year if purchased by August 1, 2011.

Happy Birthday, AH!

• A fiberglass train can be purchased as a group or business and decorated or painted for display in the Village – much like the popular Ponies on Parade held in the Village in the1990s. Trains are significant to the history of Arlington Heights, which started as a small community that realized the importance of the railroad, which remains at the heart of our Downtown today. • Proudly display beautiful sun catchers in your yard or home that are made of colored recycled glass. Check out options on our Facebook Page or www.vah.com. The Village is excited to see all the ways in which residents, groups and businesses bring to life the Quasquicentennial Celebration’s theme of “Honor the Past. Celebrate the Present. Explore the Future.” Be sure to feature pictures and updates of your celebration plans on Facebook, or feel free to share an idea of how the community can celebrate Arlington Heights’ history, present and future. Be a part of our celebration! For questions or more information including sponsorship opportunities, please email Lauree Harp at laureeharp@sbcglobal.net, a member of the Quasquicentennial Committee or Nancy Kluz, Community Relations Coordinator, Village of Arlington Heights, nkluz@vah.com.
