What’s Happening at Recreation? Fall 2013

It’s that time of the year when we gear up our children with new school clothes and prepare for a new season. Fortunately, there’s still time to have some summer fun before fall officially arrives. Bring the kids and pack a blanket to watch the spooktacular movie, ParaNorman, our last Movie Under the Stars event on Friday, August 9th. We’ve also got a rockin’ event planned with musical group, Semple, on Thursday, August 15th and Banda Rika on Thursday, September 19th. We promise a foot-stompin’ good time! Make a date with the kids at our Community Day of Play, which is hosted by the Romeoville Recreation Department and Plainfield Park District, on Saturday, September 7th. There will be a variety of activities all at no charge – games, inflatables, obstacle course, scavenger hunt, crafts, fun Olympics, and giveaways. Your kids will love you for taking them! And what better way to finish out our summer events and programs than attending our annual Founder’s Day Parade on Sunday, September 15th. Community organizations, clubs and businesses will be out to parade their ‘Big Top Circus’ theme floats. The kickoff starts at 2:00 pm. We hope you had an opportunity to enjoy the other summer events and programs we love to organize for you. From the Community Garage Sale, Truckin’ 5K race, Park Parties, outdoor movies, musical entertainment, car show, Independence Day celebration, fireworks, and RomeoFest, we cooked up an array of family-friendly fun for all to enjoy. In addition, we also hosted two new events this past summer. Sports-N-Such was a big crowd pleaser featuring a BMX stunt show, Jesse White Tumblers, Chicago team mascots, and inflatables. The Romeoville Mini Aquathon was a charity event that was a big hit for the die-hard athletes who completed a 300 yard swim and a 5K run, back to back. As you know, RomeoFest is our biggest event with four fun-filled days of carnival, music, entertainment, food, fireworks and more! We hope you had a chance to come out and enjoy the festivities. A big thank you to all of the sponsors, staff, volunteers and organizations that helped make this a great success. We couldn’t do it without you! This summer, we also dedicated a baseball field to Ray Pahl, a former coach who was involved heavily in the community, who passed away last year. We hope that this dedication will resonate his memory and be a tribute in his honor. Although summer is almost over, no need to fret as we have an array of fall programs and events planned. Browse through our fall brochure and you’ll be sure to find special events, programs, classes and fitness options, too! Mark your calendars for the Autumn Colors Craft Show, Halloween Fest, Veteran’s Day, Winter Wonderland and so much more. If ever you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (815) 886-6222. Hope to see you soon! Kelly Rajzer, Director of Parks and Recreation (815) 886-6222 • www.romeoville.org

ROMEOVILLE RECREATION DEPARTMENT --PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT NOTE: this agreement must be signed by all adult participants and must also be signed by a parent or guardian of any minor seeking to participate in any recreation department programs or activities. WARNING OF RISK Despite the implementation of all reasonable precautions by the Department, an unavoidable risk of serious injury will always exist when participating in any recreational activity. Not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Participants and parents/guardians of minor participants must understand that certain risks and hazards will be inherent to participation in that activity, including but not limited to risks and hazards associated with inclement weather, slip and falls, overexertion and fatigue, disregarding safety rules and instructions, collision with stationary objects or other participants, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating. Accordingly, the Department hereby informs all participants and parents/guardians of minor participants that it is impossible for the Romeoville Recreation Department to guarantee absolute safety for all program and activity participants. WAIVER AND RELEASE OF ALL CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK I acknowledge and assume the risks of property damage, accidents, injuries (including death), loss of bodily functions, disabilities, medical disorders, pain and suffering, lost income and medical expenses that arise from participation in any program or activity offered by the Department, and my use of facilities, transportation services, premises and equipment provided by the Department. I further acknowledge that the foregoing risks may arise from my own action or inaction, the actions or inaction of other program or activity participants, the conditions under which a program or activity is conducted, or from the negligent actions or inaction (including any failure to warn) of Department personnel, contractors or service providers. I also acknowledge that from time to time, the Village of Romeoville and/or the Department may take photographs of me participating in programs or activities offered by the Department for use and publication in various publications or media, including but not limited to the Village’s website, department program brochures or materials, and Village or Department informational, promotional or marketing materials, and I hereby expressly grant to the Village of Romeoville and the Department the right to use and publish such photographs as contemplated herein, all without compensation or payment for such use and publication. In consideration of being allowed to participate in programs or activities offered by the Department, I hereby release, waive and discharge the Village of Romeoville and its officers, officials, employees, agents, volunteers and contractors (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability and all claims of any kind whether for personal injury, property damage or death, arising from participation in any activity or program offered by the Department, or arising from the use or publication by Releasees of photographs of me participating in programs or activities offered by the Department, whether or not caused by the negligence of the Releasees or any of them and further covenant that I shall not sue any of the Releasees with respect to any such liability or claims. In the event that I or anyone else nonetheless makes a claim or files suit against Releasees arising out of any of the above-described matters, I will indemnify and hold Releasees harmless of and from any and all damages or judgments and costs of litigation, including attorney fees. The provisions hereof are to be construed as broadly as possible in favor of Releasees, and this Agreement as a whole shall be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois (without reference to the conflicts of laws rules thereof ). If any part of this Agreement shall be ruled invalid by a court having jurisdiction, the balance shall be enforced to the maximum possible extent. I am signing this Agreement freely and voluntarily, having read and understood it and with a full opportunity to consider its substance and with the intention of fully and unconditionally assuming the risks and releasing the liabilities as described above in this Agreement.

Payment of Fees:

Insurance:

Fees may be paid by cash, check, Visa, Discover, or MasterCard at the time of registration. All monies are immediately deposited.

The Romeoville Recreation Department carries no medical insurance and assumes no liability for personal injuries or loss of personal property while attending Recreation Department activities. A participant’s own policy must cover any medical costs incurred.

Returned Checks: If a check is returned unpaid, there is a $35 insufficient check fee in addition to the original amount of the check payable by cash or money order within 10 days. Failure to do so in the specified time will result in turning the check over to the police department for further action.

Program Cancellation: If the program is canceled due to insufficient registration, a full refund will be made through the Village within seven (7) to fifteen (15) working days.

Class Cancellation: If a class is canceled during the program, participants will be notified of the make up date by phone, in writing through a hand-out at class, or through the mail.

Refund Policy: Refunds are issued as follows - 100% before the start of week one; 75% before the start of week two; 50% before the start of week three; 25% before the start of week four; and NO REFUND after week four. Refunds will be issued in 30 to 60 days.

Age Criteria Policy: Appropriate age levels have been established by our supervisors to ensure a rewarding experience for all children. Children must meet the age requirements of a class within two weeks after the starting date of the class (with the exception of Creative Play). Noncompliance with age requirements can result in removal from the program. The Recreation Department reserves the right to request a birth certificate if the age of the child is in question.

Toilet Training Policy: Children enrolled in a Romeoville Recreation Department program for ages 3 and older must be toilet trained unless it is a parent/toddler class. Recreation Department programs stress the importance of children practicing their independence and we do not aid children in the bathroom. Our instructors are not responsible for diaper changing or toilet training. The Recreation Department reserves the right to deny participation by a child age 3 or older if they are not toilet trained.

We Love Parents But... With your child’s best interest in mind, parents are invited to their child’s last class meeting only. Our instructors always welcome the opportunity to discuss a participant’s progress with parents at any time. Thank you for your cooperation.

Inclusion Aides: Tri County Special Recreation Association provides qualified staff to help assist the Romeoville Recreation Department’s community recreation leaders in providing recreational programs for children and adults with special needs in a safe environment. Inclusion aides assist participants with activities provided through the Recreation Department and with any accommodations needed to make sure it is an optimal experience for participants. If your child needs assistance in a program, please mention this on your registration form or upon registration.

Program Enrollment Policy:

Resident Rate Passes:

All programs have minimum and maximum enrollments. If the minimum enrollment has not been reached by the stated deadline, the Recreation Department reserves the right to cancel, postpone, or consolidate the program with another. If a program is canceled, full refunds will be issued.

Resident Rate Passes are available for non residents who wish to register for classes at a resident rate. These passes can be purchased for $100/household and will allow non residents to register for classes at the resident rate during the last three days of the registration period (walk-in registration only). Resident Rate Passes are good for one year from the date of issue. These passes are eligible for all recreation classes; they do not apply to the Birthday Party Packages, Open Gym, child care, Fit 4 Life, or rentals.

Behavior Policy: Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. The following guidelines have been developed to help make the Recreation Department safe and enjoyable for all participants. Participants shall: 1) show respect to all participants and staff; 2) refrain from using foul language; 3) refrain from causing bodily harm to another participant or staff; 4) show respect for equipment, supplies and facilities.

(815) 886-6222 • www.romeoville.org

ID Policy: All registrants will be asked to show one form of photo identification to ensure residency and confirm information on file. Please be prepared to show identification at any time.

Semple Chicago’s favorite lead singer, Keith Semple (formerly of 7th heaven), now gets to rock for you with his new band, SEMPLE!!! His energetic performance mixed with his ability to sing any style of song has engaged audiences of all ages, young and old. SEMPLE lets you experience Keith in what he describes as his “natural environment.” With a whole set of new music and a brand new line up of top Chicago musicians, it doesn’t get any more entertaining than this!

Banda Rika Banda Rika is a Latin band with a powerful, versatile and highly entertaining dance show that can be found performing their blend of Latin music at clubs, dances, conventions, festivals and private events throughout the Chicagoland area. Banda Rika’s music repertoire consists of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Bachata. In order to create the spicy, jazzy sounds of Salsa and the tantalizing rhythmic percussions of Merengue, the band is composed of a 10-piece Orchestra and a two person front line. Banda Rika’s complete entertainment show and versatility really offer a refreshing change to today’s other musical choices.

Thor-Guard System To assist in the safety of our residents and guests, we have installed a lightening detector system called ThorGuard. This system has been placed at our major athletic facilities: Village Park, Volunteer Park, Wesglen Park, and Century Park. If there is threat of lightening, there will be a 15-second blast from the outdoor-horn signal and a strobe light inside the Recreation Center will begin flashing. If this occurs, all outdoor activities should be suspended and you should seek shelter immediately. You may resume activities only after three five-second blasts from the outdoor horn signals and the indoor strobe light stops flashing.

Components of Fitness To improve your overall fitness, it is important to have a balance of the five components of fitness. These components are:

1. 1 Cardio-Respiratory Endurance: The ability to do moderately strenuous activity over a period of time. It reflects how well your heart and lungs work together to supply oxygen to your body during exertion and exercise.

2. 2 Muscular Strength: The ability to exert maximum force, one time. An example would be a one time lift of the heaviest weight you can manage.

3. 3 Muscular Endurance: The ability of a muscle or muscle group to repeat a movement many times or to hold a particular position for an extended period of time.

4. 4 Flexibility: The degree to which individual muscles will lengthen and the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.

5. 5 Body Composition: The proportion of fat in the body compared to the amount of lean mass. Each group fitness program is labeled with the components it strengthens. Multiple components may apply to individual classes, or they may only have one. Sign up for all the different components to get a complete workout!

Thor-Guard System To assist in the safety of our residents and guests, we have installed a lightening detector system called Thor-Guard. This system has been placed at our major athletic facilities: Village Park, Volunteer Park, Wesglen Park, and Century Park. If there is threat of lightening, there will be a 15-second blast from the outdoor-horn signal and a strobe light inside the Recreation Center will begin flashing. If this occurs, all outdoor activities should be suspended and you should seek shelter immediately. You may resume activities only after three fivesecond blasts from the outdoor horn signals and the indoor strobe light stops flashing.

Thor-Guard System To assist in the safety of our residents and guests, we have installed a lightening detector system called Thor-Guard. This system has been placed at our major athletic facilities: Village Park, Volunteer Park, Wesglen Park, and Century Park. If there is threat of lightening, there will be a 15-second blast from the outdoor-horn signal and a strobe light inside the Recreation Center will begin flashing. If this occurs, all outdoor activities should be suspended and you should seek shelter immediately. You may resume activities only after three fivesecond blasts from the outdoor horn signals and the indoor strobe light stops flashing.
