BUILDING YOUR FUN How much do you know about your community centers and why now is a good time to renovate?

How close are the four community centers to reaching the end of their useful life?

Our community has grown and the way recreation programming is planned has changed significantly since Recreation Park was built in 1939 and Heritage, Frontier and Camelot were built in 1969.

Based on community feedback, our residents want more active and passive recreation space close to home including: indoor walking tracks, more open space for outdoor enjoyment, increased indoor gymnasium space and sports field improvements for more playability.

What are the most pressing improvements needed at these four community centers?

Most of the improvements associated with the District’s upcoming referendum are related to issues with accessibility, parking, outdated/inefficient HVAC, inadequate/outdated electrical systems and outdated programming spaces and gymnasiums that no longer meet the recreation needs of our residents.

What are the District’s plans to restore our aging community centers?

Low interest rates and low construction costs make this an ideal time for renovating the four aging community centers and parks by the year 2016. As the economy picks up, so will the cost of borrowing funds and construction costs.

What has been the impact at Pioneer Park Community Center since reopening its doors after renovation in 2008?

Enhanced programming space has allowed program participation to jump from 26,749 in FY05/06 to 75,681 in FY10/11.

What would be the tax impact of the proposed bond issue referendum in March 2012 to you?

The March 2012 referendum will ask residents to decide if the District should issue a $48 million bond to be spread over a 25-year period. This would have a tax impact of $36 per year on a home with a market value of $300,000.

What will the District do if residents do not pass the referendum?

The Park District does not have $48 million available to make all of the desired improvements to the four centers. Utilizing existing funding sources the district could renovate one community center until 2037, when a second community center could be renovated.

FOR THE FUTURE TOGETHER. President

A Letter from the President

Democracy goes back to ancient Greece and was defined by Aristotle as the “rule of many.”

Maryfran H. Leno Vice President

The idea of the rule of people holds that democracy requires all or most of the citizenry to take part in decisions at hand. It was for this reason that at the regular meeting of the Park Board on December 13, 2011, Park Commissioners voted to place a referendum question on the March 20, 2012 primary election ballot. The referendum question will give the entire community the chance to have a say in determining the future of their Park District.

This is consistent with the process which District officials have been engaged in since beginning their conversation with residents when it executed a Community Needs Assessment in 2009.

Since then, whether in focus groups, open forums, Board meetings or neighborhood meetings, residents have consistently told us they want updated facilities.

As the Village of Arlington Heights recognizes it’s Quasquicentenniel in 2012 we are also inspired by its three main messages: Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present and Explore the Future.

Myles A. Naughton

Robert J. Nesvacil

The Park District thanks all residents who participated in the master planning meetings in 2010-2011 as they provided citizen input that has been invaluable. We want to also thank all those who have participated in our recreation programs, visited our facilities or explored our many parks whether in the past or the present. We are excited to afford everyone in the community an opportunity to help determine our future and we encourage them to actively participate in democracy on March 20th.

The proposed referendum funding would allow the district to spread a $48 million bond issuance over a 25-year period. This would have a tax impact of $36 per year on a home with a market value of $300,000. The plan would renovate four community parks by the year 2016. This plan goes beyond just building physical environments for fun. It will benefit the lives of all residents and the community for the future.

Just as the train rails continue to connect cities and bring people into and through downtown Arlington Heights, our District’s recreation programs, community centers and parks continue to connect communities and people by bringing them closer to one another and contributing to a quality of life found nowhere else.

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 is the delivery date for the Summer 2012 guide. Delivery dates for Fall 2012 through Summer 2013 will be listed in the Summer guide.

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

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.

Guide Summer 2012

Delivery Date (Saturdays) 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.

It is important to understand whatever the method of delivering the Guide; there is the potential for missed deliveries.

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.

Arbor Day Celebration The first Arbor Day took place on April 10, 1872 it was the brainchild of Julius Sterling Morton, a Nebraska journalist and politician. Throughout his long and productive career, Morton worked to improve agricultural techniques, but his most important legacy is Arbor Day. For the homeowner, Arbor Day is an excellent opportunity to take stock of the trees on your property and plan for the future. Think about how planting new trees might improve the look of your property or provide wind or heat protection. Take a trip to your local nursery to see what’s available and to get new ideas. Walk around your neighborhood.

Are there any public areas where tree planting or tree maintenance might make a real difference to your community? And, oh yes, plant a tree.

Park District/ Village Arbor Day Celebration, Friday, April 27 Pioneer Park- 500 S. Fernandez 9:30 a.m. Refreshments - 10:00 a.m. Program The Arlington Heights Park District and Village of Arlington Heights will plant a tree in celebration of Arbor Day at Pioneer Park. Village and Park District officials preside over the event with a special event sponsored by Westgate School. Refreshments will be served.

Westgate School 1st and 5th graders will be performing a skit, song, and poem for our 2012 Arbor Day Event. The School looks forward to participating in Arbor Day 2012 because it provides students with an authentic opportunity to research why Arbor Day is celebrated in our society and learn what it is that we can all do to promote a healthier planet. Arbor Day 2012 provides children with an excellent opportunity to participate in a local event that works to bring neighbors together for good reason.

You must sign up for swim lessons each session that you are interested in participating. There will not be lessons available at Pioneer Park, because camp only meets three days a week and field trips are held on Wednesdays.

Lessons at Camelot, Frontier and Heritage Park will be held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays for 40 minutes and taught by the Aquatic Department Staff. Lessons will not be held Session V at Camelot Park. (LM)

Day Camp Tennis Lessons Participants who attend camp (Sunny Meadows or Arlington Adventure) at Camelot Park and Frontier Park will be able to take the same high-quality tennis lessons that we offer through our reknowned outdoor tennis lessons program but at a significant camp savings. The lessons will be taught by experienced, well-prepared instructors from Heritage Tennis Club. These lessons will provide kids with new skills in a great game as well as variety in their routines. Eight lessons per two-week session will be taught on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Sign up for one session or as many as you like. (RL)

Lacrosse America Summer Camp Lacrosse is the most rapidly growing sport in America! LAX America directors and coaches will host an introductory “soft lacrosse” camp for players new to the sport, or players with little lacrosse experience.

Public leagues at Nickol Knoll are structured to provide a social environment for golfers to meet and play, but we enforce USGA and course rules during play. All golfers are responsible for a $20 league fee at the start of the season and their daily green fees. The league fee goes towards score keeping and administrative procedures as well as an awards presentation at the end of the season.

Golf Course Built on 56 acres, this is one of the most unusual par 3 courses you’ll ever play. Three holes feature vertical drop tee shots and three holes boast uphill shots to the green.

Night Golf at Nickol Knoll Golf Club 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. Events have been set up for Fridays: May 25, June 22. Or we have open Night Golf Every Friday Evening in July, August, and Sept. Reservations are required Call 847.590.6050 to register. (JH)

Club Rentals Junior and Adult golf clubs and bags can be rented at the Pro Shop for a fee of $4 per 9 holes.

Forest View

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. These lessons will look more interactive with 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.

Beginner Children are taught tennis technique and rules of the game in a format that is scaled to their size and ability. This miniature version of adult tennis allows the young beginner and advanced beginner to play and learn tennis at the same time.

This phase of the program is geared toward beginner and advanced beginner junior players ages 10 thru 14. The focus of training is on technical skill development in preparation for play. This phase of the junior lesson program is appropriate for students learning the game for fun, or as preparation for future competitive play.

Level I: 10-13 year old beginners with little or no tennis experience Emphasis is on basic stroke technique.

The Academy Program Forest View is proud to offer the Academy Program for competitive junior players. Learning perfect strokes is a worthy goal, but only if they can help you win the point. Tennis cannot be learned in a classroom, so students in the Academy program should expect to hit more than listen. Competitive experiences are not the test of your achievement. They are simply part of the process of learning to compete. The focus of training in the Academy Program will be on teaching players how to apply their individual skills to various levels of competition.

Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@ yahoo.com Class Level Age Day(s) Time Date Fee Classes No Class 1400-3 I 9-12 yrs W 4:30-6 pm 4/11-6/6 $243 9 1400-4 II 11-14 yrs M 4-5:30 pm 4/9-6/4 $216 8 5/28 1400-5 III 13-16 yrs M 5:30-7 pm 4/9-6/4 $216 8 5/28 1400-6 III 13-16 yrs Su 1-2:30 pm 4/15-6/10 $216 8 5/27 1400-7 IV 14-18 yrs T 4:30-6 pm 4/10-6/5 $243 9 1400-8 IV 14-18 yrs Su 2:30-4 pm 4/15-6/10 $216 8 5/27 1400-9 V 13-18 yrs Th 4-5:30 pm 4/12-6/7 $243 9 1401-0 V

pools for the Summer of 2012?

We begin developing staff for the summer pool season in October 2011. Almost 400 part-time staff work in the aquatics department over the summer. From October through December we recruit from the previous summer staff. We'll be accepting applications for the summer of 2012 after January 1, 2012. Positions include lifeguard, swim instructor, concession attendant, and cashier. Each pool has a maximum number of staff that can be employed for each position.

To fill out a job application visit our web site at ahpd.org and click on JOBS and then click on ON LINE JOB APPLICATION. You can now fill out and submit your application online. Last year we stopped taking applications for new aquatic employees by mid-February because we had too many applicants.

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.

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. 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.

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 online at ahpd.org

Advancing Levels: Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, Swim School II, Semi-Private Lessons, and Private Lessons. 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.

Every child is different. Please do not compare your child’s experience in swim lessons to another. Children learn differently.

They obtain their coordination at different ages. They obtain the concept of getting better or practicing at different ages.

There are times when a child may not advance for a while due to circumstances out of our and your child’s control. When this happens it can be discouraging for your child. There are times when your child may need to take a break from swim lessons for a session. If that happens, rest assured, we will still be here ready and willing to welcome you back and get you swimming again.

Parent’s Day: Parent’s days are held for Jr. Swim School and Swim School.

Parents are invited poolside to observe their child’s skills and to talk with the swim instructor.

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 family’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.

We request that you respect these age groupings when registering.

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

The Arlington Heights Park Foundation has generously donated funds to provide free wireless service at 12 Park District facilities.

The service will be provided free to all users equipped with a Wi-Fi enabled device.

Look for the Hotspot signs at the following facilities: • Administration Center Annex • Arlington Lakes Golf Club • Camelot Park • Forest View Racquet and Fitness Club • Frontier Park • Lake Arlington • Heritage Park • Nickol Knoll Golf Club • Pioneer Park • Olympic Indoor Swim Center • Recreation Park

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).

For a Memorial Park brochure and brick order form, log onto the Memorial Park webpage: ahparkfoundation.org/memorialparkfund or call the Park District at 847.577.3000. For questions, please call Greg Padovani, Chairman of the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee at 847.392.9113.

That was then…

Myles A. Naughton You feed a steam locomotive like you feed a hungry plow horse. She’s more like an

iron and steel trotter to the driver at her throttle and the fireman stoking her hot box.

With boilers for lungs and fire in her belly fed with anthracite coal and washed down with the best water – no alkali or lime – the railroad can provide, when she shoulders her way into the train station, us codgers sittin’ on the bench stop our whittling, put down our County Herald and mark the occasion.

When “horsepower” means just that, the high-stepping locomotive with its tagalong consist of box cars, cattle cars and a passenger coach clanking behind is a wonder. We were barefoot kids when the first steam engine chugged out of Chicago, heading west to Oak Park carrying sacks of grain and a gaggle of high-collar big-wigs in top hats.

That was 1848 and today, on this fine winter morning in 1887, we have our own spanking 10 wheeler courtesy of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway.

Robert J. Nesvacil

This is now...

Many changes have been made to the Village over the years, but the rails still run through our downtown bringing mostly people, and occasionally commerce, to and through town.

As we continue to Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present and Explore the future, watch for the “Train on the Tracks” public art project in conjunction with the Arlington Heights Quasquicentennial celebration coming to town during the summer of 2012. There is still time to order your own train to decorate and display.

Find out more by visiting www.arlingtonheights125.com or contacting Lauree Harp (laureeharp@sbcglobal.net) before the last train pulls out of the station.
