4 GENERAL INFORMATION

• Parent/Child Classes

Self-care

In classes where caregivers are not required, children must be able to provide self-care in a group setting (ie: able to wash hands and use restroom facilities without assistance).

Starting & Ending Class Times

Our instructors need time to open facilities and prepare for your class. Please provide proper supervision as children “dropped off” before classes start will not be supervised by our staff. Instructors will call their class and take attendance. Parents should wait until this has taken place before leaving. Classes will end as scheduled. Instructors are either preparing for the next class or closing the facility; your promptness in picking up your child is necessary. Please do not arrive prior to 10 minutes before the start of your class as the locker rooms or class room may not be open before this time. If your program involves use of locker rooms, plan to depart no later than 10 minutes after the scheduled conclusion of your program.

Waiting Areas

Most facilities have a designated spot where parents may wait during classes. Please help us keep the privilege of use of these facilities by not wandering around the buildings, no food or drink, and please keep siblings under supervision.

Makeups

One of the fundamental instructional program goals is to provide your child with a fun and positive learning opportunity with their peers while developing separation skills. Parents are welcome to observe the last scheduled class of the semester. (Exception: Swim lessons, spectators are permitted on the first day also.) For the best instructional atmosphere, observation of other class sessions is not permitted. Please feel free to discuss your child’s progress before and after class with the instructor.

Classes missed for individual absences (ie: illness, vacations, etc.) are not “made up,” nor may participants attend classes other than the one they are registered for.

T he spectator policy remains the same. Please make arrangements for siblings as they will not be permitted in the program location and may not be left unsupervised in hallway or locker room areas.

• Adult Classes

P lease make arrangements for your children as they will not be permitted in the program location and may not be left unsupervised in hallways or locker room areas.

Round Up Sponsorships

The Department does not wish to exclude any City of Greenfield youth from participation on the basis of their ability to pay. There is an opportunity during registration to donate to help this cause by “rounding up” your registration fee to provide financial assistance for those unable to afford program fees for youth programs. A donation line is included on the registration form – you can donate any amount you see fit by adding the amount to your program fee total. Persons who feel they are unable to afford the cost of a youth activity may apply for a reduction of fees utilizing the “Round Up” Sponsorship donations which help fund these requests. City of Greenfield residents may apply for financial assistance by contacting the Parks & Recreation Department office at least one week prior to registering for youth programs.

Swimming & Water Safety Levels

The American Red Cross offers comprehensive course levels that teach your child how to swim skillfully and safely. Skills taught are progressive, so children advance upon completion of all the skills in the previous level. New to our program? Either enroll your child in Starfish (Ages 4-6) or Level One (Ages 6-9), or attend a swim pre-test session to determine which level is most appropriate for your child, based upon their water skills. Levels

Requirements

Skills Taught

PARENT AND CHILD AQUATICS Parent/Child Swim

Ages 1-4 Years

Ratio 1:10

Each child must be accompanied by parent or caregiver

Parents and children learn together to increase a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills, such as arm and leg movements and breath control. This level is funfilled and helps introduce water safety concepts, encouraging a healthy recreational habit. If your child is not 100% toilet trained, they will need to wear a swim diaper under their swim suit. The water temperature is approximately 80 degrees, which may be cold for younger swimmers, so a long-sleeved swim/sun type top is recommended.

PRESCHOOL AQUATICS (AGES 4-6) Preschool Level 1 (Starfish) Ratio 1:6

Preschool Level 2 (Seahorse) Ratio 1:6

Preschool Level 3 (Goldfish) Ratio 1:6

Ages 4-6 Years Prerequisite: Child must be able to submerge head under water

Ages 4-6 Years Prerequisite: Successfully complete Starfish

Ages 5-6 Years Prerequisite: Successfully complete Seahorse

Starfish orients children to the aquatic environment and helps them gain basic aquatic skills that are the foundation for the later levels. Front and back, floats, glides, leg and arm actions are taught. Age appropriate water safety topics are reviewed.

Seahorse builds upon the Starfish skills to help children gain greater independence in their skills and develop more comfort in and around the water. Bobs, retrieving objects under water, floating and gliding independently, treading water, and combined arm-and-leg actions front and back are the focus.

Goldfish further develops the Seahorse skills so children gain basic swimming propulsive skills. Floats and glides into a vertical position, rotary breathing, how to change direction while swimming, treading water, independent swimming on front and back strokes are the primary focus.

Participants continue to explore simultaneous and alternating arm action on front and back.

Stroke Development Level 3 teaches the survival float, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, backstroke and coordination of front crawl. Participants are introduced to dolphin kick. Swimming in deep water and basic diving skills.

Stroke Improvement Level 4 develops confidence in previously learned strokes and increases distance swimming. Backstroke and breaststroke are further developed. Participants are introduced to butterfly and taught sidestroke.

Martial Arts Tae Kwon Do

Please note: This is an INTRODUCTORY program. Participants are not able to participate in the various special members-only events sponsored by Chosun during the year, nor are they able to test for rank advancement without becoming a regular member.

LITTLE NINJA’S (Ages 3-5) Youth - Adult Classes will be conducted by Joe Peterson & Staff, Chosun Black Belt Academy LITTLE NINJAS (Ages 3-5 years) Little Ninjas is an easy-to understand class for the younger child to gain the benefits ofTae Kwon Do. There will be emphasis placed on the physical techniques so the participant’s body can begin growing with the movements and burn up energy. The very basics will be taught, with additions of important outside aspects for children such as stranger self-defense and lost- in-the-store safety. CHILDREN (Ages 6-12 years) Children’s Tae Kwon Do is great for development of self-discipline and physical fitness. Children who learn Tae Kwon Do also benefit from increased self-esteem, more confidence and assertiveness, more focus and concentration, better discipline and selfcontrol, respect for authority, self-defense, and physical activity. Children who study this art will learn when it is okay to use it as the code. The martial artist forbids unfair assaults or unnecessary use of force, so it is for emergencies only. TEEN/ADULT (Ages 13+) Tae Kwon Do is great for mental, physical, and spiritual development. Become more flexible, agile, and physically stronger while increasing balance. For a Tae Kwon Do practitioner, his entire body is his weapon, defending easily against all aggressors with their hands, fists, elbows, knees, and feet. FAMILY (Youth (Ages 6+) to Adults) Tae Kwon Do is a wonderful activity to practice as a family! Parents will have a great time working out with their children in the same class. Tae Kwon Do has SO many benefits for both children AND adults that it makes it the perfect way to stay fit and have fun TOGETHER. For adults, TKD helps to increase flexibility, relieve stress, strengthen balance and learn life-saving self-defense. In children, TKD helps to improve confidence, increase focus, build stronger physical skills like balance, coordination and agility, in addition to building great goalsetting skills. No matter the reason for practicing Tae Kwon Do initially, students of the art benefit physically, mentally and spiritually. Practice Tae Kwon Do together but feel the benefits as an individual!

BLOCK PRINTING Adults (Ages 18+)

New!

Block Printing is one of the oldest types of printmaking, and has been around for thousands of years. It is essentially using a carved material covered in ink to transfer an image on to paper, fabric, wood, canvas or any other materials you might want to experiment with at home. Block Printing can be done with wood, linoleum, rubber, or any other materials. We will be working with linoleum. You will find that images that are printed with this technique are typically much bolder than other types of printmaking. As this is done by hand, the ink sits on the surface which adds a raised texture to the paper. Sharp carving tools will be used to carve into the block. For new and continuing students, in this two-night class you will draw, design, and carve your designs on to a block. On the second night, you will use your design block to print on rice paper.

DEMO: PICKLING FOODS WITH FERMENTATION

New!

Adults (Ages 18+) Julie Toman, Instructor Pickling food can be done with fermentation. Fermentation is an historical way to preserve food. It allows food to “sour” which allows the food to stay safe to eat for months when refrigerated. Don’t be scared. Fermentation isn’t a complicated process and with Julie as your guide, you can’t go wrong! In class, you will sample several different vegetables pickled by fermentation, make sauerkraut, and ferment another vegetable yourself. Vegetables like radishes, beans, cucumber, and jalapeno peppers will be options. After this class, the vegetables at the Greendale Downtown Market will be calling your name. Participants will receive the food to finish fermenting at home, multiple recipes and informational handouts. Please bring a quart and 1/2 quart canning jar. Also available in class for extra $1.00 each. Thursday, September 27 6:15-8:30 PM 403124-01 Greendale Middle School, FACE Room (Home Econ) $25 (R) / $35 (NR) Time Out: Tuesday, September 18

New!

Adults & Teens (Ages 16+) Stephanie Uden, Instructor Is your schedule busy? Is your time limited? Is there pressure to get meals on the table? Many people love the idea of cooking quickly which is why they turn to pressure cookers, to help them get meals on the table fast. The truth of the matter is that pressure cookers have gained a reputation through the years, but with the new electric pressure cookers, opinions are changing. Come join this introductory pressure cooking class where you will learn some general tips of use, as well as receive some inspiration for recipes that you will even be able to sample. Come alone, with a friend or a spouse (each person must be registered though) to learn how to have fun while cooking with pressure, relieving the pressure that you use to cook under in the kitchen. Please bring your personal pressure cooker along with you to the class for a “hands-on” experience.

General Information Program Information The Department of Parks and Recreation directly mails three seasonal “Recreator” activity guides per year to Greenfield residents and businesses. Mailing schedule: SUMMER (May) FALL (August) WINTER/SPRING (December) In addition, specific program flyers are periodically distributed to public and private schools located within the corporate limits of the City of Greenfield. Nondiscrimination Policy It is the policy of the City of Greenfield Department of Parks and Recreation that no person shall, on the basis of race, color, or disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any City of Greenfield sponsored program, activity, or employment. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City of Greenfield will make every reasonable effort to accommodate persons with disabilities in the provision of City services, programs, or activities. If you require special accommodation in order to participate, please inform us when you register. School District Cooperation The Department of Parks & Recreation would like to thank both the Greenfield School District and the Whitnall School District for their support and cooperation with facility scheduling. However, due to school athletic and education programming, some recreation activities may need to be cancelled or rescheduled. The community’s understanding during these times is appreciated. Cooperative Programming What does this mean? When you see this symbol, it means this program is being made available as part of a cooperative programming agreement with other local departments or agencies. Individually, each department or agency may not have the facility or instructor or enrollment necessary to offer the program. In working together, the cooperative departments are able to better serve the needs of their residents by expanded program opportunities.

52 GENERAL INFORMATION

Insurance/Liability The City of Greenfield does not provide hospital/medical insurance coverage for persons participating in sponsored activities and cannot assume responsibility for injury to any participants in its recreation programs. Participants are encouraged to obtain their own insurance coverage prior to the start of the program, and to consult with a physician before participating in any strenuous activity. Photographs For program promotion purposes, photographs will be taken of participants from time to time. If you do not wish to have your photo taken, please tell the photographer and/or class instructor. Lesson Observation/ Visitors Day In an effort to better promote a positive learning environment for programs, only registered participants are permitted in the classroom area. Our instructors welcome the opportunity to discuss participants’ progress with parents after class. The final instructional class may be observed by parents, unless special dates are scheduled by the instructors. New Program Ideas The Department of Parks and Recreation is always receptive to suggestions for the development of new program offerings. Please feel free to give us a call with your ideas. Lost and Found If you have lost or misplaced an item in one of our parks or program facilities, please contact the Parks and Recreation Department office. Articles that are found and turned into the office are kept for 60 days. After that period of time, the items are donated to a local charitable organization. The Department of Parks and Recreation and related facility providers are not responsible for any lost or stolen items. TYPO, We Goofed? Occasionally, there may be an error in days, times, registration requirements, locations, or fees. When such errors occur, our staff will do everything possible to correct the situation promptly. The department reserves the right to change program schedules as needed to accommodate demand or school use conflicts. Read your receipt carefully, as any changes since the printing of this RECREATOR will be noted there.

Employment Opportunities Persons interested in obtaining part-time/ seasonal employment with the Department of Parks and Recreation should complete an employment application form at the department office. Openings for positions as lifeguards, officials, program supervisors, and instructors for various programs are usually filled from current applications on file. Qualified applicants will be contacted for an interview as openings become available. Park & Recreation Board Meetings The City of Greenfield Department of Parks and Recreation is a governmental agency established for the purpose of providing and managing public recreation programs, facilities, and park/open spaces for the community. The Department is governed by appointed board members who serve as a policy-making body. Regular Park and Recreation Board meetings are generally held on the LAST Thursday of each month (exception: November and December regular meetings are held on the THIRD Thursday of the month) at 7:00 PM at the Greenfield City Hall, 7325 West Forest Home Avenue. Agendas and minutes are available at www. greenfieldwi.us. Click on “calendars/meetings/agendas” for information on meeting dates, times and location. Residents are invited to attend, and are welcome to make suggestions or comments. Non-resident Policy Definition: In the case of non-resident participation, it is generally accepted that non-resident users should contribute an additional fee to offset their non-tax status. A non-resident is defined as a person who does not reside or own property within the corporate limits of the City of Greenfield (in general, does not directly contribute to City of Greenfield property taxes). User Fee Surcharge: Persons defined as a non-resident of the City of Greenfield are required to remit double (100% surcharge) the adopted resident program/service fee (i.e. resident fee of $10 = non-resident fee of $20). Non-residents who falsely register shall forfeit their privilege to participate, and any related fees collected will be retained by the Department (no refund given). Exception to non-resident user fee/surcharge: • N on-resident youth who attend either a Greenfield or Whitnall School District School will be assessed at the resident rate. • N on-residents employed by the City of Greenfield (and spouse; children within immediate household) are exempt from any non-resident related surcharges.

Persons who feel they are unable to afford the cost of a youth activity (i.e. unemployment, long term illness or other hardships) may apply for a reduction or waiver of fee and should contact the Parks & Recreation Office prior to program registration.

As part of the City’s 50th Celebration Legacy Project in 2006, a fountain was placed in Bicentennial Park (51st & Layton, near the Law Enforcement Center, Fire Station and Library) as a centerpiece. Surrounding features include flag poles, benches, and a stone marker, all framed by a beautiful garden and landscaping. The outer area of the fountain is paved with bricks, providing a unique opportunity to make a lasting mark to:

• Commemorate your family’s place in Greenfield History • Remember a loved one • Honor a family member, friend or associate • Recognize an achievement • Celebrate a special occasion/event • Promote your business

The bricks are engraved using a laser process that will penetrate, melt and crystallize the clay brick, resulting in a permanent engraving. The money raised from this project will help fund numerous projects within the City of Greenfield Parks & Recreation Department. Orders are accepted throughout the year. Bricks are installed in either Spring or Fall. All contributions are tax deductible, pricing is subject to change.

Mayor’s Message Michael J. Neitzke, Mayor

Scan this QR code to link to the City website

Welcome to the Fall Edition of the GREENfield SHEET. We’re all working hard to continue to make Greenfield a Better Place. Our ‘City Center’ along Layton Avenue becomes more vibrant with the addition of a pavilion at Konkel Park. Paid for with bundled Community Block Grant Funds, Developer Park Fees, and a substantial donation from Cobalt and CW Pupero, the new structure adds a huge amenity to the City—one very few communities have. Called “The AMP Haus”, it is now open for use. It brings more energy not only to Layton Avenue, but to the City as well. Bringing visitors into Greenfield makes our city stronger. Interest remains high for development and redevelopment through the City. 84 South is really taking shape. Café Zupas, Grate Mac & Cheese, MOD Pizza are all now open. A new Outback is under construction. Residents are moving into the Forte apartments. Kohl’s should be open early September and the large Aurora facility should be completed by mid-2019. Lokal84 is in the final stages of planning on the corner of 84th & Layton. The project has been transformative for the City. I continue to expect more redevelopment opportunities in the future. The largest road project of last year, Edgerton from 27th to Loomis, is finally wrapping up. As noted before, this project administered by the State, and funded primarily with federal dollars, addressed one of the most challenging reconstructions of a roadway in our City. Bad soils, bad drainage, old utilities, made it tough from an engineering and construction standpoint. Another challenge we are facing is the use of zip codes in our community. Greenfield has up to 7 zip codes which all have another community attached to them. You may have noticed that when using different apps requiring location services, Greenfield doesn’t even come up. Instead you may see Milwaukee, Greendale, Hales Corners, West Milwaukee, or West Allis come up. In addition, motor vehicle registrations and insurance rates can be impacted. I have made getting zip codes designated for Greenfield a top priority. While notebooks and pencils are filling the stores for school in the Fall, there are still plenty of great things to do to enjoy the good weather. Keep your eyes open for events at The AMP. Southeastern Wisconsin will be filled with the sounds of motorcycles at the end of August as Harley celebrates its 115th Anniversary, including events at the House of Harley. Our 2nd Annual Car Show returns to Konkel Park on September 8th. The Farmers’ Market offerings get better into the harvest season each Sunday from 10 to 2. Village Days is coming to Greendale at the beginning of HOLIDAYS August. The Botantical Gardens offers concerts in the Park and City Hall other excellent programs for the gardener. There is so much to do will be closed that doesn’t require traveling far. Labor Day Finally, I’d like to thank the voters of Greenfield for having faith in September 3 me as your Mayor. I continue to do everything I can to make Greenfield a Better Place, and appreciate the vote of confidence. Thanksgiving With school starting, PLEASE drive carefully. Children and adults November 22 & 23 alike can be distracted by their phones. Slow down around Christmas schools, parks, pedestrians, and bike riders. Pay attention to bus December 24 & 25 signals. Don’t assume they see you. Have a great Fall! -Mike

The City of Greenfield has partnered with SeeClickFix to announce a new platform (called “Greenfield Resolve It”) that will allow citizens to report quality-of-life issues and request City of Greenfield services.

With free SeeClickFix mobile app and web tools, Greenfield citizens will now be able to provide department staff with pictures, videos, specific descriptions, and more — valuable information needed to get the job done efficiently. In addition, the SeeClickFix platform provides Greenfield officials with a centralized issue management system to manage issues from creation to resolution — engaging Greenfield citizens throughout the process. This partnership not only allows Greenfield citizens to report problems, but also to view, comment on, and vote to fix problems submitted by their neighbors. Citizens can even create their own “watch areas” to receive notifications about all the issues reported in their community, enabling them to follow the progress of all service requests — not just the ones they report.

The Greenfield Resolve It mobile app is available for download on Android and iPhone. In addition to the mobile apps, citizens can send reports to the Greenfield’s website and seeclickfix.com.

ABOUT SeeClickFix SeeClickFix was founded in 2008 to empower citizens with tools to publicly document quality of life concerns in their neighborhoods. By radically improving the quantity and quality of this data, SeeClickFix was quickly adopted by local governments, who needed a better way to receive information from citizens. This exchange helped to build one of the largest neighborhood networks in the world — upon which public agencies and public citizens engage to improve communities. Today, SeeClickFix has official partnerships with hundreds of cities, engaging hundreds of thousands of citizens in the resolution of millions of issues. SeeClickFix has worked with government partners to develop municipal management tools on top of this citizen network. As SeeClickFix is adopted into the everyday lives of government users, the benefit of the engaged citizen base continues to grow.

BABY BOXES

FORGOT SOMETHING? Heatstroke is one of the leading causes of death among children. Cars can heat up very quickly, even in cooler temperatures whenever the car is in the sun. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or bystander of a child left in a car, it’s vitally important to understand children are more vulnerable to heatstroke than adults. Follow these important rules and tips to protect children from heatstroke: Look before you lock: Make it a habit to look in the car before you lock it. Leave your purse or phone near your child. Never Leave a Child alone in a Car: Even when it’s not sunny. On a 75 degree day, the inside of a car can reach 100 degrees within 10 minutes and it can reach 120 degrees in just 30 minutes. A child’s body heats up faster than an adult’s and they can’t cool down as effectively. Within MINUTES of being left in a parked car, a child’s body can become overwhelmed by the heat, they can lose consciousness, and hyperthermia can set in. TAKE ACTION if You Notice a Child Alone in a Car! Protecting children is everyone’s business. Get Involved. Find and share campaign information for parents, caregivers, schools and organizations, and remind everyone to Look Before You Lock! Remember – a parked car is no place for a child. Take them with you EVERY TIME. For more tips and information please https://www.safercar.gov/parents/InandAroundtheCar/heatstroke.htm

FREE baby boxes for ALL parents and caregivers! • Baby Boxes provide a safe place for a newborn baby to sleep • We encourage parents to room share, not bed share • Newborn babies should sleep on their back in the crib, pack n’ play, or bassinet • No blankets, toys, pillows, or other items should be in baby’s sleep space. *While supplies last

RESTAURANT INSPECTIONS The Greenfield Health Department is responsible for enforcement of local and state codes related to the inspection and licensure of all food-related businesses. Inspection reports for both Retail Food Establishments and Restaurants and Food Service may be found at: http://healthspace.com/Clients/WI/Greenfield/Web.nsf/home.xsp. While these reports provide information on the conditions observed by the Environmental Health Specialist at the time of inspection, they may not reflect corrective actions or current conditions. An inspection conducted on any given day may not be representative of the overall, long-term operation of the facility. Therefore, visitors to this site are cautioned against making interpretations regarding a particular facility based on only one report.

UP-TO-DATE VACCINES

INFLUENZA (FLU) SHOTS

Back-to-school season is here. It’s a time for parents to gather school supplies and backpacks. And it’s also the perfect time to make sure your kids are up-to-date on their vaccines.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a Flu Shot every year in the fall. Each flu season is different and each person may be affected differently by the flu. The flu is a serious disease that can lead to hospitalization and sometimes even death. It can be especially dangerous to young children or the elderly.

Getting children vaccinated is one of the most important things parents can do to help protect their children’s health—and that of their classmates and their community. Most schools require children to be current on vaccinations before enrolling to protect the health of all students. Today’s childhood vaccines protect against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, including polio, measles, whooping cough, and chickenpox. When children are not vaccinated, they are at increased risk of disease and can spread diseases to others in their classrooms and community—including babies who are too young to be fully vaccinated, and people with weakened immune systems due to cancer and other health conditions. Check with your child’s doctor or the Greenfield Health Department to find out what vaccines they need this year. For example, kids who are 4 to 6 years old may be due for boosters of four vaccines: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis, also called whooping cough), chickenpox, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), and polio. Older children, like pre-teens and teens, may need Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis), HPV (human papillomavirus), and MenACWY (meningococcal conjugate virus) vaccines. In addition, yearly flu vaccines are recommended for all children 6 months and older. Parents can find out more about the recommended immunization schedule at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents. Adapted from https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/ events/niiw.

The approved red “sharps” containers are available to buy at local pharmacies and at the Greenfield Health Department. You can buy a container at the health department for $4.00 during normal business hours. City of Greenfield Collection Site: Greenfield Health Department, 7325 W Forest Home Ave. **Collection site for Greenfield Residents only. Non-Greenfield residents can call the Department of Natural Resources (1-888-936-7463) for locations of sharps collection sites in their area.

CRIME PREVENTION HOLIDAY SCAMS Since it’s the holidays, the scammers are setting their sights on you to finance their New Year. They are hoping that your finances are tight enough that you would believe you are an instant winner of a contest you never entered and all you have to do is cash the check they sent you and wire it back to them to cover the taxes. Needless to say, it is a bad check and your bank will hold you responsible for cashing it. These notices will come in the mail, e-mail, or text messages and they may even be on letterhead and they will look legitimate. Do not fall for it! BEFORE SENDING MONEY, DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? • Are you sending money to claim a lottery prize? • Are you sending money to help someone get a large sum of money out of their country? • Are you sending money because a relative called from another state or country and told you that they need help? • Are you sending money because you were “guaran teed” a credit card or loan? • Are you sending money to someone you have not met personally? • Are you sending money to someone you’ve never met to pay for their trip to America? These are just some examples of scams being perpetrated using money transfers. If any of these sound like your situation, please call the Greenfield Police Department at (414) 761-5301 for advice.

CRASE TRAINING: Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events

It makes sense to be prepared. Law enforcement officers and agencies are frequently requested by schools, businesses, and community members for direction and advice on what they should do if confronted with an active shooter event. The Greenfield Police Department recognizes that these events can and do happen anywhere. In an effort to educate and help protect our citizens, the Greenfield Police Department is pleased to offer The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) training to all Greenfield citizens. The CRASE course is designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend concept and provides strategies, guidance, and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, the role of professional guardians, civilian response options, medical issues and basic wound care. For more information, or to register for upcoming classes, email Office Supervisor Heather Zagorski at heather.zagorski@gfpd.org or call 414-761-5357.

FAST CLASS: Female Awareness and Survival Training Class The Greenfield Police Department is proud to present Female Awareness and Survival Training (FAST), conceived and designed exclusively for women by instructors with many years of law enforcement and self-defense training experience. Every year, thousands of women are victimized nationwide. In many cases women are targeted simply because the attacker believes women present an easy target and won’t fight back. In the United States: • 1 sexual assault occurs every 2 minutes • 1 violent crime occurs every 5 seconds • 172 women are physically or sexually assaulted every hour The objective of the class is to reduce the risk of an assault, provide awareness and instill the F.A.S.T. mindset to survive a dangerous encounter. Personal safety is about learning how to limit your risks and knowing what to do if you are attacked. FAST teaches techniques to avoid dangerous situations and practical techniques and survival concepts to be used in the event of an attack.

SAVE TIME RAKING... MULCH YOUR LEAVES! Chop those leaves with your mower Take the grass catcher off your mower and mow over the leaves on your lawn. You want to reduce your leaf clutter to dimesize pieces. You’ll know you’re done when about half an inch of grass can be seen through the mulched leaf layer. Any kind of rotary-action mower will do the job, and any kind of leaves can be chopped up. With several passes of your mower, you can mulch up to 18 inches of leaf clutter.

Leaves should not be put out after November 5th if you’re in District 1, 4, or 5 or after November 12th if you’re in District 2 or 3. Leaves will NOT be collected if they: 1. Include ANY other material such as branches, stones, grass clippings. 2. Are blocked by parked cars or other obstacles. 3. Are placed too far from the road edge or curb edge. They are not to be placed in ditches or in driving lanes. 4. Are left in an alley or on a median. Residents are strongly encouraged to mulch their leaves. Residents may also drop off leaves FREE of charge at the Division of Public Works, 4551 South 52nd Street, in marked bins on the south side of the building. This service is for LEAVES ONLY. Leaves must be in biodegradable paper bags or emptied from containers. For more information call (414) 761-5374, weekdays from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM.

Feed your lawn to speed up the process Once the leaf bits settle in, microbes and worms get to work recycling them. Microbes do a better job recycling carbon from leaves when they have nitrogen. Fertilizing your lawn in fall will help break down your mulched leaves faster. Your grass will grow better, and your microbes will work harder, when you feed your lawn after mulching those leaves. See great results in the Spring When spring arrives, you’ll notice something. The leaf litter you mulched up in the fall will have disappeared. Your rake will look dusty and neglected. And your grass will look greener than ever. Mulching saves money and is a better use of resources When you rake your leaves, it costs you. Your local taxes pay for workers to pick up your leaves and haul them away in trucks. Burning leaves is not allowed. Mulching leaves simply recycles a natural resource, giving you richer soil for free.

LEAF COMPOST / WOOD MULCH FREE wood mulch and composted leaves are available for self-serve pick-up daily at the Division of Public Works yard, 4551 S. 52nd Street, and west yard, 11701 West Morgan Avenue. For more information, call (414) 761-5374 weekdays from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM. Leaf compost is available for home delivery to Greenfield residents for $50 per truck load.

GREENFIELD BEAUTIFICATION AND FORESTRY PREPARING TREES AND PLANTS FOR WINTER The quality of rest (dormancy) for trees and plants affects their health and production. Prepare them for winter. Plants and trees experience life cycles through these seasons. For human beings, life cycles occur every day. We require a certain amount of rest each day to function the following day. Most trees “sleep” each winter (we call it their dormancy period). The amount and quality of their rest determines how healthy and productive they are! A little preparation for winter can make this dormancy period the best it can be for your plants and trees.

GREENFIELD BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY AT GLENWOOD SCHOOL On May 5, the first beautiful warm day of the year, a happy crowd of “Adopt-aTree” volunteers and Greenfield residents came to help celebrate Greenfield’s Arbor Day. They planted 29 new trees for Glenwood Elementary School’s property at S. 51st St. and W. Morgan. The city was presented with a Tree City USA flag and has been designated a Tree City USA for 24 years and a Growth Award for 23 consecutive years...more than any other city in Wisconsin!

This destructive threat increases with cold weather and snow cover. It’s heartbreaking to grow and nurture plants and trees along, only to wake one morning to find them girdled to death or impaired for life by hungry critters. Rabbits can chew young trees up into their fifth and sixth season. Simple and inexpensive solutions that can be applied in mere seconds are tree guards. These wraps also afford protection to the trunk by reflecting the winter sun’s rays. Most winter damage to the tree’s trunk is from getting warmed up on bright, sunny winter days. At nightfall, the trunk often doesn’t adjust to the sudden temperature drop. The most destructive pest of all is a human with a string trimmer. Be careful not to damage bark with your string trimmer. A healthy forest around us makes us healthier. You can help by protecting your part of the city forest.

Trick or Treat

Sunday, October 28th 4:00 - 7:00 PM Who doesn’t love trick-or-treating? It’s fun going from house to house to collect as much candy as possible before your bag bursts. This year, make sure you have an extra safe Halloween with these trick-or-treat tips. • Young children should always go trick-or-treating with an adult. • Never trick-or-treat alone. Have at least 2 buddies go with you. • Plan your entire route and make sure your family knows what it is. • Make sure that you are wearing a flame retardant costume. • Wait until you get home and your parents check your candy before you eat it. • Be very cautious of strangers. • Accept treats only in the doorway. Never go inside a house. • Be sure and say thank you for your treats. • Don’t play near lit jack-o-lanterns. • Visit only houses where the lights are on. • Walk, Do not run. • Walk on sidewalks and driveways. • Cross the street at the corner or in a crosswalk.
