A Message From the Director On behalf of the Mayor, Common Council, and the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff, I would like to welcome you to the 2013-14 Fall/Winter/Spring Activities Guide. I encourage you to review the entire booklet and I feel confident that you will find something of interest to you and your family among the many and varied recreational opportunities and park facilities available in the community.

As you do, I hope you notice the updated format of the guide and find it easier to read and locate information.

We often find ourselves taking for granted the many excellent educational, recreational and cultural opportunities that are available to us throughout the community. One of those incredible resources is the Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts located in Mitchell Park (see page 32). If you haven’t experienced the Wilson Center yet, I would encourage you to take some time to attend an event or performance there or just visit this unique facility to become familiar with all that it has to offer. Don’t miss the “HIDDEN RIVER ART FESTIVAL” held at the Center on September 14-15. An extensive variety of artwork from 100 artists from 5 midwestern states will be exhibited and there will also be food, children’s activities and other demonstrations throughout the weekend. The Civic Band and Chorus will be performing a Holiday Concert at the Center on November 24th (see page 29) which provides a very nice opportunity for residents to experience a performance in the state-of-the-art auditorium.

Be sure to mark your calendars so you don’t miss the second “German Holiday Market and Tree Lighting” event to be held on Saturday, December 7th in the Civic Plaza (see page 31).

Last year’s event was very successful and it promises to be even bigger and better this year.

I also encourage you to enjoy your parks and outdoor recreation areas during the Fall and Winter. There are a variety of outdoor recreation facilities available for you and your family to enjoy such as cross-country ski trails, ice skating, sledding hills, walking/hiking trails, etc. (see page 19).

As always, please feel free to contact me at any time to discuss your thoughts or concerns regarding the City’s parks, open spaces and recreation activities. Thank you for your ongoing input and support in our effort to provide you with meaningful and effective parks, recreation and forestry services.

Bill Kolstad Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Parks, Recreation & Forestry Newsline - (414) 297-9565 By calling the newsline, you can get important information regarding pool schedules, registration dates, program cancellations, and special event dates.

Boating Safety Education

Ice Skating Lessons

This course is offered in Spring by the Department of Natural Resources. If you were born after 1989, you’re required to complete a boating safety course to legally operate a motorized boat or personal watercraft (PWC). Anyone is eligible to take a boating safety class and receive a safety education completion certificate, although the certificate is not valid for a child until he or she is 12 years old.

The Learn to Ice Skate program is designed to offer an introductory ice skating experience for both youth and adults. It will allow the beginner skater to feel comfortable on the ice while gaining the basic skating techniques needed to move around the ice with confidence and ease. The four week program will meet once per week, on Sundays for 30 minutes.

In addition to it being the law, taking a boating safety class can save your life: 4 of 5 people who die in boating accidents on Wisconsin’s waters every year haven’t had such formal training. Gain the safe boating techniques and knowledge that can keep you safe on the water.

Days: Sundays Times: 4:00 - 4:30pm Fee: $40

Contact the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Office in spring for class dates and times. DNR website www.dnr.state.wi.us for further information.

Greenway Trail System

The Greenway Trail System is a comprehensive city-wide off-street system of recreational trails that connect existing and proposed parks together and link these sites with other community facilities and to the regional trail system. Under the envisioned Greenway Corridor Recreational Trail Plan(“Plan”), which is available for review at the Parks, Recreation and Forestry office, the Greenway Trail System will be located within and adjacent to the primary environmental corridors in the City wherever possible and would also utilize railroad rights of way in the future as feasible.

Development of the system was initiated in 2003 and is anticipated to continue for the next five+ years. To date, approximately 11+ miles of off-road segments will have been completed along the Beverly Hills, Civic Center, Deer Creek, Dousman, Rolling Meadows and Underwood Creek Trails. The funding for this major parkland initiative is generated through anticipated lease revenues from wireless communication companies who lease city property.

When implemented, the Greenway Trail System will become the “centerpiece” or “connecting link” of the City’s park and open space system and will provide additional recreational opportunities for residents to experience the natural heritage of the City. The system will also connect neighborhoods in a new way which will provide safe routes for children and lead to expanded possibilities for community interaction.

20

The Parks and Recreation Commission has also developed a comprehensive sign system plan that includes trailhead stations, regulatory, directional, informational, and educational signs and provides the framework to guide the City with the installation of signage on current and future Greenway Trail segments. Signage has been installed and trailheads developed for the Beverly Hills, Underwood Creek, Civic Center, Deer Creek and Lilly Heights trails. A Trail User’s Guide has also been developed which is available in a downloadable format from the City’s website or as a pamphlet from the Parks and Recreation office.

Planned 2013 - 2014 Trail Segment Construction All of the proposed trail segments were rated and prioritized in the Plan and the Commission evaluates the prioritization construction schedule on an annual basis as part of the phased implementation of the Plan.

Planning for 2013-14 trail construction has been initiated for the following segments: Underwood Creek Trail Approximately 2,100 feet of off-road asphalt and boardwalk trail within the Brookfield East High School Property connecting Lilly Road to Westwood Drive.

Lilly Heights Trail Approximately 1,900 feet of off-road asphalt and boardwalk trail extending West from the existing trail at west end of Lilly Heights Park, through the environmental corridor located south of Dublin Court, and connecting to Shamrock Lane near Sara Street.

Interested residents are invited to review and comment on the Lilly Heights Trail segment plans during an Informational Meeting and Open Forum on Thursday, September 12 to be held in the Multi-Purpose Room of the Brookfield Senior Community Center (2000 N. Calhoun Road). The meeting will be conducted in an open house format and interested individuals are welcome to attend any time between the hours of 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. The trail segment/system plans, aerial photographs, and other exhibits will be on display and there will be an opportunity to ask questions, exchange information and offer suggestions regarding the project with City staff and consultants.

In addition, the Brookfield Parks and Recreation Commission will receive public comment pertaining to the trail segment development plans as part of their regular meeting on Monday, November 4th, 7:00 p.m. in the Common Council Chambers of Brookfield City Hall, 2000 N. Calhoun Road. Questions about the meetings or the plans in general may be referred to Bill Kolstad, Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry, 262-796-6675.

Green & Growing City Forestry Program

The city wide tree pruning program includes maintaining all public trees in parks, street right of ways and other public property. Crews are working in Forestry management Unit 4, (Bluemound Road to Greenfield Ave., Barker Road to N. 124th Street). The city is divided into six units. After all six units are pruned, the cycle will start over. Stated simply, all city trees will be pruned approximately once every six years. The city arborist will also conduct a citywide tree removal survey of public trees. Trees identified for removal will be marked with an orange dot. All hazardous or dead trees marked will be scheduled to be removed in 2014.

Excellent information on the following topics can also be found on the City’s website at http://www.ci.brookfield.wi.us/ • • •

Multch Mulches are applied over the soil surface to reduce weed growth, maintain moisture, moderate soil temperature, improve soil structure and limit damage to tree trunks from mowers and string trimmers.

Types of Mulch There are basically two types of mulch; inorganic and organic. Inorganic mulches include various types of stone, lava rock or pulverized rubber. These mulches do not decompose, improve soil structure, add organic matter or provide nutrients. To improve plant health organic mulches should be used. Organic mulches include wood chips, shredded bark, cocoa hulls or pine needles. These materials decompose requiring them to be replenished over time. This decomposition process adds nutrients to the soil and improves soil structure (tilth). This in turn will improve plant health. The benefits the plants receive far outweigh the added maintenance of replenishing the organic mulch.

Benefits of Proper mulching

22

• A 3-4” layer of mulch reduces weed germination and growth.

• Mulch moderates soil temperature. It cools the plant’s root zone in summer and warms it in winter providing optimum root growth.

• Mulch will help maintain soil moisture improving plant health.

• Organic mulch will improve soil fertility.

• Mulch protects trees and shrubs from lawnmower or string trimmer damage to their trunks or stems.

• Organic mulch can improve soil structure (aggregation of soil particles), soil aeration and drainage over time.

• Gives the landscape a clean well maintained appearance.

Proper Mulching It is very important to apply mulches correctly to provide the aforementioned benefits.

• Apply 2-4” of mulch but no more. There should only be 4” total.

• Only use fabric under gravel or stone mulch.

Never use fabric with organic mulch.

• Do not pile mulch around the trunk or stem of the plant. Leave several inches (3-4”) exposing the base of the trunk and root flare. Do not create mulch volcanoes around the trunk.

• Organic mulches provide soil enhancing properties inorganic mulches (stone) do not.

• Mulch wide not deep – create as large of a mulch area as practical.

• Only replenish organic mulch as needed never exceeding 4”. Adding mulch annually to refresh the color can be detrimental to landscape plants.

If there is sufficient mulch present rake the old mulch to break up any matted layers. This will refresh the appearance. Mulch can also be sprayed with a water soluble, vegetable –based dye to improve appearance.

Free Mulch / More Information Wood organic mulch is available free to city residents at the Public Works Facility Recycling yard located at 19700 Riverview Dr (Brookfield Road – south of River Road) during normal recycling center hours. More information on mulch can be found on the internet at http://www.hort.uwex.edu . Type in “Wood mulch in the search box in the upper right of the page or http://www.treesaregood.com click on Tree Care Information on the top menu and scroll down to proper mulching.

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) This insect continues to receive a lot of attention.

Emerald Ash Borer is an exotic insect native to Asia that has been found in Connecticut, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Tennessee, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Massachusetts and Wisconsin. It was initially found in Wisconsin in the Village of Newburg in Ozaukee County (8/04/08). EAB has been discovered so far in fifty seven communities in fifteen Wisconsin counties, including the latest local discovery in Dodge County in the City of Watertown. The other counties are Brown, Crawford, Fond du Lac, Kenosha, La Crosse, Milwaukee, Racine, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Trempealeau, Vernon, Walworth, Washington and Waukesha.

Why the Concern?

The insect can and does kill all species of ash wherever the trees are found, including native forested lands and urban areas. It has killed 30 million ash trees in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and appears to be spreading. All native ash species are susceptible to this insect. (Green, white, black, red, blue & pumpkin ash) Forest inventories show that Wisconsin has about 628,000,000 ash trees. Everywhere EAB has been found to date (including Wisconsin) entomologists feel it has been present for three years or longer.

Nursery stock that was moved to Wisconsin before the quarantines were put in place could continue to introduce the insect. The infected state’s quarantine currently prohibits movement of ash material out of the quarantined counties; this would include firewood, logs and nursery stock. The movement of firewood is the most concerning because it cannot be regulated very well and could be the way it was and will continue to be spread in Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin counties of Brown, Crawford, Dodge, Fond du Lac, Jefferson, Kenosha, LaCrosse, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Rock, Sauk, Sheboygan, Trempealeau, Walworth, Washington, Waukesha and Vernon are now quarantined.

What can you do?

• Be on the lookout for this pest.

• Do not transport firewood from an unknown source especially ash firewood from an EAB infested area.

• Keep your ash trees in high vigor and monitor your trees for the pest.

• Report any suspected EAB infestations (if 3 or more symptoms or signs are present – these can be viewed on the attached website links) by contacting the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection on the Emerald Ash Borer Hotline @ 1-800-462-2803.

• Consider treating high value ash trees preventively. Contact a certified arborist for a treatment program.What the City is doing?

• Training tree maintenance workers to monitor for the pest when performing tree care activities.

• Identifying susceptible natural areas with high ash populations.

• Providing information/education to residents • Cooperating with state/federal agencies to monitor for the pest.

In restorative yoga, props and longer hold times are used to open the body in a more passive way.

The postures are usually adapted from supine or seated yoga poses with the addition of blocks, bolsters, and blankets to eliminate unnecessary straining. The rope wall as well as chairs will also be used for various poses in order to bring the spine into proper alignment.

During deep relaxation, all the organ systems of the body are benefitted. Restorative classes are usually very relaxing and are a good complement to more active practices. The teacher will arrange for the necessary props to be available to you.

Garlic mustard is an invasive weed introduced on the east coast by early settlers for its alleged medicinal qualities and cooking. In our community it spreads rapidly, overtaking wildflowers, native tree and shrub seedlings. It then drives out animals, birds and insects that depend on a diversity of plant species for food and shelter.

Call our Parks, Recreation and Forestry office at 262796-6675 if you are looking for more information regarding this invasive weed or to get the details on our spring weed out.
