President’s Message

By David Johnson - President, Board of Park Commissioners As budgets tighten and everyone stays closer to home, the best recreation and fitness bargains in town are the high quality programs and events offered by the Schaumburg Park District.

Hike the trails, take a class, learn a new skill, workout, golf, participate in a sports league, watch dance and theater performances, visit Spring Valley Nature Center and Heritage Farm, learn about nature…the Park District offers endless opportunities for all ages to enjoy leisure time and fitness options at rates accessible to everyone.

We’re launching a new convenience this month. Rechargeable gift cards are available for purchase in any denomination and usable throughout the District for registrations and greens fees, at food concessions, and at the Schaumburg Golf Club and Walnut Greens pro shops. Gift certificates still will be honored, and on remittance, any balance will be returned on a gift card. Cards are available featuring Volkening Lake or the Schaumburg Golf Club (which will open in early April – weather permitting).

We’re pleased to be partnering with Whole Foods Market in Schaumburg to present this year’s Sugar Bush Fair, 9 a.m. to noon, March 19-20, at Spring Valley Nature Center. As a generous corporate sponsor, Whole Foods is donating all of the pancake mix, maple syrup, sausages (including a veggie version), juice, coffee and hot chocolate. The event promises to be a celebration of nature’s goodness with truly organic ingredients!

There’s no reason to leave the family pooch at home. The new Canine Carnival on

April 2 will provide your Fido or Fifi a tailwagging good time featuring games, costume contests, treats and agility course.

And The Bunny is back for his annual bash and home visits. Yes! By special arrangement, The Bunny will make a fiveminute house call if you can’t make it to meet him personally at the Bunny Bash on April 16. Also celebrating the season is the Underwater Eggstravaganza set for 6-8 p.m., April 21 at The Water Works. Jump in! Eggs will be “hidden” in the pool.

Disney’s Aladdin is coming to the Community Recreation Center with auditions set for March 6 with performances May 20-22.

Auditions for the 2011 Street Theatre troupe will be May 7 at CRC. This paid, summeronly, drama company gives aspiring actors and actresses age 16 to 25 performance experience as they present shows at Park District facilities.

Who will be Schaumburg’s next Idol? March 19 is audition day to find 12 aspiring singers to perform in the televised competition this summer. In its third season on WSPD-TV, Idol promises to showcase the friendly rivalry of talented local vocalists.

From boot camps to strollerobics, exercise and fitness classes will keep you crunching instead of munching. If you’re trying to keep, or renew that New Year’s fitness resolution, Couch to Cardio is designed for those who want to ease into exercise. Or, kick it up a notch (actually a BUNCH of notches) with Piloxing, a unique new mix of Pilates and boxing moves described as a fat torching, muscle sculpting, core-centric interval workout guaranteed to whip you into shape.

Whew!

Need relaxation? We’ve got a class for that too. Meditation: What Exactly Is It? teaches meditative postures, breathing exercises, relaxation techniques and the use of mantra to help you connect with your inner Oooohhhhmmmm.

New at the Senior Center is Grandma, Grandpa and Me Tea. Goodies, tea and craft projects will be featured for this intergenerational program on May 21 at the Community Recreation Center.

Stretch your grocery dollar by growing your own veggies. Power Vegetable Gardening will be offered at Spring Valley and includes instruction in soil prep, seed starting, pest control and harvesting. Taught by an agriculturalist, the class meets every Tuesday, April 5-19, bringing you right up to the planting season.

These are just a few of the highlights in store for spring. Hundreds of additional activities and events are listed right here in your brochure.

Happy Spring!

Northwest Special Recreation Association Providing Recreation Services to

Individuals with Special Needs

The Schaumburg Park District is a member of a cooperative agreement among 16 districts which form the Northwest Special Recreation Association (NWSRA). NWSRA’s team of full-time therapeutic recreation professionals and trained part-time staff offer safe, fun and quality year-round opportunities to individuals with disabilities of all ages and ability levels. Activities benefit participants through increased self esteem, physical, social and recreation skills development, improved fitness and health, experiencing new challenges, making friends and having fun! After school, evening and weekend programs feature cooperative sports and games, individuals and team sports, arts and crafts, fitness, cooking, and creative arts and drama. Camps, trips and special events are available at various times during the year.

Inclusion assistance is provided by NWSRA to those individuals who wish to participate in their home district program. When registering for a program, the parent of the individual with a disability should inform the park district (and NWSRA, if desired) of any accommodation needed in order to successfully participate in the program. District staff will then contact NWSRA for assistance.

ALEXIAN BROTHERS CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL TO OPEN IN HOFFMAN ESTATES Residents of Chicago’s northwest suburbs will soon have access to comprehensive pediatric care in their own backyard.

Alexian Brothers Hospital Network recently announced plans to construct the new Alexian Brothers Children’s Hospital in Hoffman Estates on the campus of St. Alexius Medical Center.

The Children’s Hospital at St. Alexius Medical Center will allow local access to a full range of care for pediatric patients, their parents, siblings and support network.

Construction is set to begin this spring on the $117 million, six-story Alexian Brothers Children’s Hospital. Expected to open by 2013, it will be built as an addition to the southeast corner of the medical center and will offer a convenient, centralized location for many of Alexian Brothers Hospital Network’s existing pediatric services, which rank among the best in the region in terms of scope and quality. Alexian Brothers Children’s Hospital will serve as a regional hub for pediatric care, supported by Alexian Brothers team of highly trained pediatric specialists and sub-specialists, neonatologists, pediatric nurses and pediatric surgeons.

“It will allow us to coordinate specialty physician care with ancillary services, and to provide individualized treatment for children,” says Ed Goldberg, St. Alexius President and Chief Executive Officer. Alexian Brothers currently offers a full range of specialized pediatric care provided by more than 60 physicians in 21 pediatric sub-specialties, such as anesthesiology, cardiology, endocrinology, neonatology, neurology, pulmonology, radiology, urology, and neurosurgery.

The need for specialized pediatric services in the northwest suburbs is increasing due to population growth and health care demands. The Children’s Hospital will offer flexible visiting hours, convenient meal options, private spaces and a comfortable environment for our families, and will feature pediatric-friendly surgery areas, with a dedicated pediatric entrance, pre-op and recovery space and a new pediatric intensive care unit.

“Alexian Brothers Children’s Hospital will bring much-needed, high-quality pediatric care for children close to their homes, their families and support systems,” said Goldberg. “By building a facility that will care for critically ill children closer to their families here in the northwest suburbs, we are filling an important need.”

For more information on the new Alexian Brothers Children’s Hospital, visit: www.MyAlexianKids.net

A Healthy Community Begins with Alexian Brothers.

This delightful musical will charm audiences of all ages! Cinderella works hard in the home of her cruel stepmother. Her silly stepsisters, Brunhilda and Cleopatra, see themselves as beautiful and think the prince will marry them.

Of course, the handsome prince spends most of the evening at a palace ball trying to escape from them! You’ll meet playful new characters in this fresh adaptation: a brave mouse, a hesitant cat and the amazing Pumpkinhead, who changes into a coach! Our Fairy Godmother has her hands full tutoring an apprentice, but still makes time for Cinderella. Cinderella is off to the ball where she loses her glass slipper as she tries to run out before the clock strikes midnight. As the ladies of the kingdom try to fit into the crystal shoe, the prince finally finds the girl he is to marry.
