PRESIDENTS LETTER

Looking Toward the Next 90+ Years We have been fortunate to be part of such a great community and to have had the opportunity to provide recreation services to so many generations of families. We also know that we couldn’t have accomplished what we have without our dedicated employees and the numerous community partners that have been part of our history over the years. As the needs of our residents have changed so has the Park District. For example, the days of using the gymnasium at Recreation Park as a roller skating rink are long gone. Today, we handle larger and more complex recreation programs than were ever dreamed of in our earliest years. And, today our newest gymnasiums incorporate a variety of strategies to conserve energy, reduce heating/cooling loads, and that lessen the impact on the environment. Indeed, our customer’s needs have evolved and we remain committed to continually evolving with their needs to offer new programs and services to keep future generations healthy and happy. The next 90 years will bring more change but all of us at the Arlington Heights Park District are looking forward to a bright future emanating from 410 N. Arlington Heights Road.

Maryfran H. Leno Vice President

Towards the end of the 19th century, local townspeople began protesting the unsightly conditions of the land alongside the railroad tracks in the newly incorporated Arlington Heights. The Railroad had developed several parks on the north and south sides of the railroad right of way.

These “railroad parks” were the beginning of the park system in Arlington Heights. In 1925, citizens determined, by petition, that there was a need for an organized park district and that future development of the community demanded such an organization. On June 9, 1925, the Arlington Heights Park District was formed and the first Park District meeting was held June 18, 1925, with Commissioners Nathaniel Banta, Henry Klehm, Eugene Berbecker, Albert Volz, and Julius D. Flentie. The rest, as they say, is history.

President

How is the Park District Program Guide delivered to residents?

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. The Program Guide is also available online at ahpd.org and you can pick up a copy of the brochure at any Park District facility after the delivery dates Please check the Summer 2015 brochure for Fall 2015 through Summer 2016 delivery dates.

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.

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

We begin developing staff for the summer pool season in October 2014. 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 2015 after January 1, 2015. Positions include lifeguard, swim instructor, concession attendant, and cashier. Each pool has a maximum number of staff that can be employed for each position.

Depending on how many staff return from the previous summer, there may not be openings for specific jobs at the individual pools.

To fill out a job application visit our website at ahpd.org and click on JOBS and then click on ONLINE JOB APPLICATION. Applications will be not be accepted after January 31, 2015. The hiring process is different depending on the job you are applying for.

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 of these screening classes offered in winter and spring of 2015. Those that are deemed successful at the screenings will be allowed to take the lifeguard training class. Once you pass a screening you can take the lifeguard training class. Once you pass the lifeguard training class, then you can be hired as a lifeguard. As of the printing of the Winter program guide, those dates cannot be determined yet.

Those interested in becoming a swim instructor also have to participate in a screening process. The purpose of the swim instructor screening is to ensure that you can perform the swimming skills that you may be teaching. New swim instructors have to be able to perform all the swim skills up to the Golden Guppies level.

Those that are deemed successful at the swim instructor screening will be hired as a swim instructor.

Those interested in being a cashier or concession attendant will know if they are going to be hired or not after the interview.

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 6/1/15.

Spring Session Dates Weekday - 3/9-4/29 Saturday -3/7-5/2 (No class 3/21, 3/28, 4/11) Sunday - 3/8-5/3 (No class 3/22, 3/29, 4/5)

How are wait lists are handled for swim lessons?

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, 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.

Advancing Levels Participants can advance levels in Junior Swim School, Swim School, and Semi Private Swim School. Participants can move from Junior Swim School to Swim School during a session.

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.

If you are placed on a wait list for a swimming class, we will do our best to get you into that class. Many times prior to the class starting a registered participant or two may refund out. If and when that happens we will automatically move in the next person on the wait list and follow that up with a phone call to make sure that you still want the spot. If space is not made from refunds, we may try to expand the class. To expand a class we have to ensure that we have enough instructors to meet the required ratios and that we have enough pool space. Many classes run at the same time as others and we need to be careful not to over schedule pool. Lastly, if we are not able to accommodate you prior to the class starting, we will keep you on the wait list for at least two days of the class to see if another participant refunds out to make the space for you. Typically we will clear the waitlist after the third day a class meets. If you want to refund off the wait list prior to the third day a class meets, please call our staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center, 847.577.3025, so we can process that for you.

Got a question or comment?

During every swim lesson there is one Lesson Coordinator responsible for the supervision of the day’s activities. In addition, there may be one or two Aquatic Leaders on duty to assist in the administration of the swim lesson program. Please direct any positive or critical comments to these key staff. We hope your experience is always positive, but if not, please do not hesitate to talk with these staff about your concern. It is much easier to address an issue and fix it on the spot, compared to the end of the session. You can also contact the Aquatic Program Supervisor at any time, Alli Bergquist 847-577-3047.

Scout Swim Merit Badge

Does your scouting group need their aquatic merit badge? Let the professional aquatic staff at Olympic Indoor Swim Center lead your scouts through a night of aquatic safety activities. A maximum of 10 scouts can be accommodated and all scouts must be accompanied by a leader. All pool rules apply during Scout Swims. The fee is $5 per scout. We can customize a program to fit your needs or use our own safety program. This program is designed for scouts in Indian Guides, Indian Princesses, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Webelos and other young scouting groups. Leaders must make advance reservations for Scout Swim Merit Badge nights. Please call 847.577.3025 for assistance.

Private Swim Lessons Registration is available on the first day of resident registration and can be done online. The minimum age for private swim lesson has been lowered to 3 years old. Private swim lessons are designed to meet your child’s individual needs. Each code is for two classes. You can sign up for as many as you like, but they are in sets of two. Parents will be contacted prior to the first day of lessons by a Swim Lesson Coordinator who will ask about your instructor preference and what specifically your child needs to work on. We hope this registration format makes it easier for both parents and staff to schedule and organize the private swim lessons.

Swim School 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.

• Did you know that you can view all of the swim school level requirements on-line? Visit ahpd.org/swimming/SwimLessonInfo.htm to view them and other information about our swim program.

Participants register for classes by time periods and our staff will evaluate each child’s ability on the first day of class. Therefore the first day of class will take longer to get started due to attendance and ability evaluations. If you took swim lessons during the prior season, please bring your end of lesson sheet so staff can properly place your child. We honor sheets from one season prior. Children can wear swim goggles. If your child has long hair we recommend they wear a swim cap or tie their hair back. Please remember there are no make-ups for missed classes.

Swim Academy Swim Academy is a learn to swim program designed with a focus on endurance and technique. Students should be able to complete one length freestyle and backstroke to be eligible for Swim Academy. This program is aimed for those swimmers who are looking for further immersion into the sport of swimming. The one hour class will be structured as a combination between our swim lesson program and the competitive swim team, the Arlington Muskies. The core of the program is based around the four competitive swim strokes: backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and freestyle. No class 3/21, 3/22, 3/28, 3/29, 4/5, 4/11.

• Swimmers begin, in the novice level Bronze, with the basic skills associated with backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle. Streamline, sometimes considered the “fifth” competitive stroke, will also be taught from the beginning. Swimmers will work through the progression of each stroke, starting from building endurance with a strong and efficient kick. The progression will continue with further parts of each stroke being broken down with the help of diagrams, and in water drills provided by the instruction of the coaches.

• The second level, Silver, continues freestyle and backstroke adding in the addition of flip turns. Breaststroke is taught in full and the beginnings of butterfly are also introduced.

• In Gold all strokes are worked on with proper turns. Students will also begin to work on using the pace clock. Throughout the program students will be introduced to some of the aspects of competitive swimming other than just the swim strokes themselves. The stroke, streamline, turn, and start are all equal parts of a race. This program is one part of swimming being lifelong. The ratio is eight students to one coach.

10 & Under 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.

Quickstart Tennis Lessons 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.

Junior Development Program

Junior Development is the second phase of the Forest View junior lesson program and is geared toward beginner and advanced beginner players ages 10 thru 14. The focus of training is on technical skill development in preparation for play. Junior Development 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. An introduction to stroke production and the basic rules of tennis.

• Level II: 10-13 year old advanced beginners. Players should be able to sustain slow to moderate rallies and have a basic service motion.

• Level III: 11-14 year old beginner and advanced beginner level players. This level is appropriate for young athletes new to tennis, as well as those with limited experience looking for a review of the fundamentals.

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. For information on placement in the Academy Program please contact Head Tennis Professional, Jason Stanislaw at 847.640.2574 or jstani2836@yahoo.com. (NA)

Requirements for participation in the Academy Program are: • Forest View Junior Membership • Competitive Play (Tournaments, High School Teams, Junior Match Play Program) • Academy placement is per pro staff recommendation. Academy registration is in-person only.

About the Program: The preschool program provides a carefully planned curriculum, developed with the guidance of District 25 Kindergarten teachers. Our program is designed to give your child the tools and experiences they need to assure a positive transition from preschool to kindergarten. Some ongoing skills emphasized during our two year program are recognition and printing of first name with upper and lower case letters, naming basic colors and shapes, finding upper and lower cases letters when named, and reciting numbers 1-20. Our teachers encourage creative freedom through free play, imaginative play, arts and crafts, music, science, and gross and fine motor activities. The philosophy of our preschool is to allow the children to learn through play.

Requirements Children in preschool must be toilet trained; pull-ups are not acceptable. Children in the 3-4 year old program must be 3 by September 1, 2015; those in the 4-5 year old program must be 4 by September 1, 2015. Proof of age is required at the time of registration.

Parents are required to supply snacks, juice, and napkins for the children in the program approximately 4-5 times a year. Sign-up for the snack helper dates is conducted in the fall.

Spring Lunch and Laughter Jenny Riddle is back by popular demand! The life and time of Shirley Temple and her impact on America during the Depression is a fascinating story. Amid the deprivation and despair of the Great Depression, Shirley Temple radiated optimism and plucky good cheer that lifted the spirits of millions and shaped their collective character for generations to come.

Her unique ability to combine both book dramatization and song makes for an event you won’t soon forget. For more than 10 years, she has been enthralling audiences with highly analytic, often inspired interpretations of first-person genres in which she becomes the characters telling their real-life stories. The chefs and owners of the Cotillion have created a beautiful menu consisting of a house special salad, fettucini Napolitana with sliced grilled chicken in marinara sauce, an assortment of baked breadsticks, coffee or tea and cappuccino ice cream for dessert.

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 foursome at any one of our Friday night outings open to the public. At just $22 per person you can’t beat the fun. The fee covers greens fees, equipment, and prizes. Bring your clubs and flashlight. Have the time of your life.

PARK FOUNDATION

Honoring the service and sacrifice of veterans and their families.

Memorial Park is the only park in Arlington exclusively dedicated to veterans. Each year, the Memorial Day Parade ends at Memorial Park where the entire community participates in a solemn ceremony to honor all veterans.

Located at Fremont and Chestnut Streets, Memorial Park has roots deep in Arlington history. Civil War veteran, Dr. John Best, wanted to honor the sacrifices of Civil War veterans. So in 1883, he donated land to the Village for a “Soldiers Memorial” - 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. The Park was renamed “Memorial Park” and dedicated to honoring the sacrifice of all veterans throughout our nation’s history.

Since 2006, the Drive to Revive Memorial Park Committee has worked with the Park District and other organizations to rebuild Memorial Park. A beautiful new design was constructed which features the service seals of all six US Military Services; a bronze timeline marking the 15 conflicts in which Arlington veterans have served; the Eternal Flame sculpture and commemorative bricks to honor the service and sacrifice of individual veterans.

A special section of Memorial Park is dedicated to the 58 young men from Arlington Heights who have died in the service of our Nation – from the Civil War to the current conflict in Afghanistan. We call these 58 young men Arlington’s Fallen Heroes.

To date, 500+ veterans are honored with a brick at Memorial Park. Each brick features an inscription that tells a story of service and sacrifice. Individually, these bricks recount the history of a veteran. Collectively, the 500+ bricks tell a story of service in the cause of freedom that crosses generations. Everyone is encouraged to visit the Park and view the bricks. It will be a memorable experience.

p1 32

Resident Registration begins February 5 at 10 am

Any veteran can be honored in the Park – from anywhere, from any service, from anytime (peace or war). Simply purchase a Commemorative Brick, and it will be placed in Memorial Park.

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.

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.
