TABLE OF CONTENTS

PARK BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS The governing body of the park district is comprised of seven elected commissioners who represent the recreational needs of their community for four year, unpaid terms. Park commissioners have the power to levy taxes within prescribed limits, establish or change park district policies, sign agreements, award contracts and possess all of the powers similar to those of a board of directors for a public corporation. Park commissioners work as a board to interpret the park and recreation needs of the community, formulate short and long term plans and inform the public of the purpose, worth and extent of the district’s services, parks and facilities. Board Meetings are held monthly at 7:00P at Triphahn Center and Ice Arena.

Rethink Your Drink Did you know that most sweetened juice drinks, sodas, and sport drinks have anywhere from three to 10 teaspoons of sugar per eight ounce serving? Moreover, many pre-packaged, sweetened beverages contain more than One Eight ounce serving. The bottom line: high calorie, low nutrient beverages add unnecessary calories into a child’s diet and should be considered a treat on special occasions. Encourage water as the beverage of choice in your household. Since most children do not consume enough calcium, serve low fat (1%) or fat free (skim) milk or soy milk with meals. Purchase only 100% juice products and limit children to half or ¾ cup of juice daily, while encouraging more consumption of whole fruits and vegetables. -- Amy Daum, Registered Dietitian, PSS&WC

ATHLETICS

This upcoming 2013-2014 Youth Basketball season, the Hoffman Estates Youth Soccer League will be making numerous enhancements to the program. The league will still encompass the need for volunteer coaches to guide your little basketball player and to teach the basics of the sport. This year, we are emphasizing increased sportsmanship, NEW curriculum for all volunteer coaches to follow to help instruct the game of basketball, NEW volunteer coaches incentives, NEW referee HEPD training, new Parent/Coach Sportsmanship Program, newly added policies for bullying and concussion awareness. The program is still committed to teaching your beginner basketball players to having fun, meeting new friends, learning the basics of the game of basketball and getting exercise. Kids will learn teamwork, basic skills and sportsmanship. Your child will have a great time every Saturday playing in games and being part of a team. Practice times/locations/days are chosen by the head coaches. (Participants are eligible for a full refund before the first game. After the first game prorated refunds will only be issued with a doctor’s notice.)

Games and Practice All games will be played on Saturdays. Practice days, times and locations will be chosen by the individual volunteer coaches. Although the park district cannot guarantee a specific practice day, there is a location on the basketball registration form to specify evenings that your child cannot practice and we will try to accommodate.

Eligibility Divisions and number of teams will be determined by participation numbers and number of volunteer coaches. All teams are formed by blind draft, with exception of 5th/6th and 7th/8th Grade Boys. Leagues are divided as stated below: • 1st/2nd Grade Boys and Girls Co-Ed

Sack Lunch Makeover The new school year is right around the corner and it’s time to think about what to pack the kids for lunch. If your children prefer to bring their lunch instead of choosing a nutritious, hot lunch from the school meal program, here are some great tips. “When packing a lunch for your children, add items from each of the food groups”, says Amy Daum, Registered Dietitian with Hoffman Estates Park District. “Including a variety of items from the grain, protein, fruit, vegetable, and the milk groups, can help kids meet their nutrient needs with fewer calories”, says Daum. Milk Group – Encourage your kids to purchase a low-fat or fat-free, regular or flavored milk from the school to accompany their lunch. Purchasing milk from school is often the most economical route. Or, try shelf stable milk or soy milk in drink boxes from

your local grocery store. In addition, try low-fat or part skim string cheese, low-fat cheese slices, or low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese. Offer low-fat or fat-free yogurt or Greek yogurt to sneak in extra calcium and Vitamin D. Read your labels and choose the products highest in these nutrients. Fruit – Stock up on unsweetened, flavored applesauce cups, grab and go fruit (tangerines, oranges, bananas, and apples), and varieties for homemade fruit cups (seasonal berries, black grapes, kiwi, melon, etc.). Prepare cups of fruit over the weekend for the following school week.

Vegetables – Try fun, new varieties of raw veggies to enhance school lunches, like carrot chips, sliced orange, red, yellow, and green bell peppers, and sugar snap peas. Offer kids low-fat or fat free dressing, hummus, or a homemade dip made with Greek yogurt for dipping vegetables. Grains – Try whole grain versions of pitas, tortillas, buns, bagels, and bread. Offer a variety of granola bars throughout the school year. Choosing items that list a whole grain as the first grain ingredient are best, and tend to be highest in nutrients and fiber. Protein – Include lean slices turkey lunch meat, roasted chicken breast slices, and nut butters for sandwiches and wraps. ...continued on page 26 -- Amy Daum, Registered Dietitian, PSS&WC

Balloon Ball

Chris Evans, 847-285-5429, cevans@heparks.org

Kids First STEPS Balloon Ball Catch on! Balloon Ball is played like soccer with kids being allowed to pick up the ball and run with it, or throw it, or kick it in one of the two goals for a score.

Heart Healthy Beans Adding more beans (legumes) like lentils into your diet at least twice a week, is a great strategy for enhancing any heart healthy diet. Rich in protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, lentils are a nutrition powerhouse! As a low fat and lower calorie food, lentils are also a great addition to any weight management meal plan. Unlike some dried beans, lentils are relatively quick to prepare and do not require presoaking. They make an excellent addition to soups, stews, and side dishes and provide a meaty, rich flavor to any meal. For more recipe ideas, visit www.pea-lentil.com. -- Amy Daum, Registered Dietitian, PSS&WC

Benefits of Nutrition Counseling There are so many mixed messages in the media about food, nutrition, and the best meal plans. It’s challenging at best to determine which information is accurate and what plan is best for you. One of the best ways to incorporate a healthier lifestyle and a lifelong nutrition plan is to partner with a qualified health professional like a Registered Dietitian (RD). RDs are food and nutrition experts, who are trained in translating scientificallybased nutrition information, into practical tips to improve your quality of life. Check out the benefits of nutrition counseling with a Registered Dietitian.

Safe Weight Loss Nutrition counseling with an RD will provide you with safe and practical tips for healthier, long-term weight loss. Making small, incremental, but effective changes, tailored to your health and nutrition needs, can translate into weight loss success without “dieting” or a feeling of deprivation. Improved Quality of Life Implementing food and nutrition recommendations from a Registered Dietitian, as part of a long-term, healthier lifestyle strategy, can help lower cholesterol and lower blood pressure. Learning to read food labels, making healthier recipe modifications, and making better choices while dining out, can help assist you with your goals.

Be sure to stay consistently hydrated throughout the day with plenty of fluids, between meals, as well as with snacks and meals. Tip: Keep a larger water bottle with you throughout the day as a reminder to stay hydrated. Ideally, three to four hours before exercise, choose a meal with foods rich in carbohydrates like bread products, pasta, rice, fruit, or vegetables, milk, or soy milk products. Include smaller amounts of protein like turkey, chicken, tuna, peanut or nut butters, or low-fat cottage cheese. One hour to 30 minutes before exercise, try a snack rich in carbohydrates, and lower in fat and fiber.Tip: Try fresh melon, a banana, a low-fat granola bar, a sports bar, saltine crackers, or graham crackers. You may need to experiment with different foods until you find out what works best for you. -- Amy Daum, Registered Dietitian, PSS&WC

News and Information for Residents of the Hoffman Estates Park District

Fall 2013

Green Team in Action! The HEPD Green Team has been hard at work reducing the carbon footprint in our community. Here’s the highlights of our 2012 efforts. Read more about the District’s Green Team initiatives at heparks.org.

Back to the Tap

In select facilities, we installed water fountains that make it easy for you to bring your own reusable water bottle. That’s because if every American household eliminated or recycled just one out of every 10 plastic bottles they used, it would keep 200 million pounds of plastic out of landfills each year! (earth911.org)

Reducing Paper Waste

The Park District replaced paper towel dispensers with hand dryers in all facilities. That’s because hand dryers reduce waste, save energy and save paper. Paper towels use 2-3 times more energy to produce than hand dryers. Plus: - 17 trees are used to make on ton of paper. - One ton of paper pollutes 20,000 gallons of water. - One ton of paper consumes 3 cubic yards of landfill. (Source: slate.com)

A Bright Idea

Your Needs Matter! Every 5 years the Park District updates its Comprehensive Master Plan. Before doing so, we conduct a needs assessment to obtain feedback from residents that provides both qualitative and quantitative research results. One part of this is an Attitude and Interest Survey that will be conducted in the coming months. The surveys will be delivered shortly after Labor Day. The Naperville based research firm of Public Research Group is leading the community input process that will include 2,000 paper surveys mailed in September to randomly selected households. In addition, a telephone survey of 1,000 randomly selected residents will also be conducted, and an e-mail survey will also be sent to 7,500 residents. The goal is to collect over 800 survey responses to learn how the Park District can continue to serve its residents in the future. If you are selected, please take a few minutes and participate, your input is valuable to us.

The Park District replaced 421 conventional bulbs with energy efficient light bulbs. That’s because energy efficient bulbs use about 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last at least 6 times longer. They also produce about 75% less heat, so they cut energy by keeping our buildings cooler and require less air conditioning.

Save Some for the Fish

The Park District installed low flow shower heads in all our locker rooms. That’s because low flow shower heads use 50-70% less water and save energy because there is less water to heat. You can save even more water by turning off the water while you lather up. Please do your part to reduce the demand on our limited water supply to protect our lakes and rivers. (Source: thedailygreen.com)

The survey will be available online on the Park District’s web site for any interested residents to complete who were not selected in the random sample. The online survey will be available in late September. In addition to the surveys, the Park District will host a series of in-person focus group meetings this fall to gather additional information regarding parks and recreation services. At the end of the process, the Public Research Group will present its findings in a public meeting prior to the end of the year.

Teens Mentor Youth in Hoffman Estates This fall, youth in Hoffman Estates will have a chance to be mentored by local high school students. The Hoffman Estates Park District (HEPD), the Village and Hoffman Estates High School (HEHS), have created a program to address the need for more structured after-school activities for local youth. Research has shown that youth without structured activities after school are at a greater risk for substance abuse, violence and obesity. Starting in September 2013 and each month throughout the 2013-2014 school year, students at Muir Elementary school, will be paired up with high school students at educational, social and recreational at safe after-school activities. The high school students will accompany the younger children at the events. The Park District will provide transportation from Muir Elementary School to Hoffman Estates High School, and will provide snacks. Trained Park District staff will oversee the program and be in attendance at the events. The program will be funded by the Friends of the HE Parks Foundation, the charitable arm of the Hoffman Estates Park District. Friends of the HE Parks is a Section 501(c)(3) organization. The Foundation was created to enhance the quality of life for all community members by helping the Park District provide the best in parks, facilities and recreational opportunities. The Foundation raises funds for scholarships and supports the park district’s goals.

Foundation News Scott R Triphahn Celebri-tee Golf Outing In June, golfers had the pleasure of a fifth celebrity golfer added to their foursomes at the 15th annual Scott R Triphahn Celebri-tee Golf outing at Bridges of Poplar Creek Country Club, which raises money for the Friends of the HE Parks Foundation. The Foundation is the charitable arm of the Hoffman Estates Park District. The Foundation was created to enhance the quality of life for all community members by helping the Park District provide the best in parks, facilities and recreational opportunities. The Foundation raises funds for scholarships and supports the park district’s goals. In 2012, the Foundation provided $14,500 in scholarships to Hoffman Estates residents facing financial difficulties that would preclude their families from participating in park district programs, such as swimming lessons, summer camp, youth sports, dance lessons, preschool and STAR Before and After School Program.

Senior Club Gets a New Name: 50+ Active Adult Activities Center Park Perspectives sat down with Program Coordinator Rica Cuff, who oversees programming for our 50+ active adults, about some changes evolving within her program area, including a new name. In the past four years, membership in the 50+ Senior Center has increased to nearly 500 active members. This is consistent with the new face of the so-called “senior” population. Today, for many more men and women, life at 50-plus is better than expected, with a high percentage reported looking good, feeling youthful, working hard, traveling, playing with grandkids, volunteering and generally enjoying life in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. Never, in the history of the United States have so many people been older than 65, a population that will swell by over one-third in this decade. No longer do we have a senior generation, as we always have in the past, we have three. The youngest 65-plus people, born 1946 to 1956, are coming to be known as Leading Edge Boomers - they’re just the start, because every day for the next decade, 8,000 members of their generation will turn 65. The entire baby boom generation was born from 1946 to 1964, a population of 74 million. We also have the group dubbed the Greatest Generation, the 4.5 million people 85 and older who grew up during the Depression. They’re the boomers’ parents. In between, we have the Silent Generation, the 27.6 million people now 67 to 84 who grew up in the 1940s and 1950s. The HEPD is working hard to change with the broadening definition of “senior” and offer programming that reflects a widening range of interests.

PP:

Why did you decide the club needed a new name?

Rica:

We’re seeing the segment of 50+ adults growing considerably each year. The name change is about the new trend in provisions for seniors, seeking to engage folks as young as 50 years of age while still providing services for all older adults. The new name is meant to reflect the broadening definition of “senior” the wide range of activity levels and lifestyles of all our members.

PP: How did you decide on the new name? Rica: We surveyed our 50+ Club members, received several dozen suggestions, then combined a couple of those suggestions to come up with “50+ Active Adult Activities Center”.

HEPD is Getting Kids To Parks The Hoffman Estates Park District (HEPD) is doing its part to encourage kids to get outside by joining forces with the National Recreation and Parks Association (NRPA) and the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) in its 10 Million Kids Outdoors campaign. The goal of this three-year campaign is to “seek a future in which all children spend time outside each day - creating a generation of happier and healthier children with more awareness and connection to the natural world.” Consider these sobering facts: Across all demographics and in every part of the country, kids are spending more time ndoors more than previous generations. In fact, just one generation ago, 75% of American kids played outside daily; nowadays, only 25% do. The average child spends seven hours each day on electronic media – computers, phones, electronic games, etc. Part of this change can be attributed to changes in society including more structured after-school activities like sports and homework, cutbacks in recess time, fewer green spaces and parents’ worries about the safety of playing unsupervised outside.

Sunday, October 20 @ 2 PM- 4PM Meet at Willow Recreation from 6:00-8:00 PM for basketball and other games in the gym. Also, the racquetball courts will be open for racquetball and wallyball.

At HEPD we feel it’s critical to reverse this trend as spending time outdoors has a great impact on our health and overall well-being. The NRPA states that “in the last two decades: child obesity rates have more than doubled, more children are vitamin-D deficient, the United States has become the largest consumer of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) medications in the world, and the use of antidepressants in pediatric patients has risen sharply.” Studies suggest sedentary, indoor lifestyles as significant contributing factors.

Keeping Kids Hydrated by Amy Daum, MPH, RD, LDN, HEPD Registered Dietitian

With the temperature rising, it’s very important to make sure that children stay hydrated. Over half to three quarters of our bodies are made up of water, depending upon our age and gender. Consequently, staying hydrated helps our bodies digest nutrients, helps our blood flow, keeps our joints lubricated, regulates our body temperature, and helps promote physical performance. There is nothing better to keep you hydrated than water. Items like low sodium broth soups, 100% fruit juice, skim and low-fat milk and soy milk, fruits, and vegetables are also high in water content and can also help you stay well hydrated. Beverages higher in caffeine and added sugar (like soda) are not the best beverage choices for ensuring hydration. Children that are more active will need more fluids. For every 15 minutes of physical activity, depending upon the intensity, children will need at least a half cup of fluid, if not more. Thirst can be an early sign of dehydration and active children should be encouraged to drink fluids throughout the day, before they become too thirsty. Urine can also be a great test to see if children are staying hydrated. If children are well hydrated during the day, urine should be clear to pale yellow. Darker urine may indicate dehydration. In addition, it is important not to overdo fluid consumption. Overhydration or water intoxication can cause low blood sodium. It is a very rare but serious condition. Balance is key when it comes to water consumption and it is important to speak with a health professional, like your family doctor, with any specific questions.

According to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies, children receive 20-29% of their fluid intake daily from food sources, depending upon their age and gender. In addition, daily Adequate Intakes (AIs) for total beverages for children and teens, including drinking water, are as follows:

Age

Approximate Adequate Intake of Total Beverages in Cups

Children 1 to 3 years old 4 to 8 years old

4 cups 5 cups

Males 9 to 13 years old 14 to 18 years old

8 cups 11 cups

Females 9 to 13 years old 14 to 18 years old

7 cups 8 cups
