A positive mindset leads one toward an optimistic, hopeful state of mind. There is a direct correlation between optimism and good morale, a positive mood, good health and success. With the holidays approaching, we offer the following to promote positive thinking: • Surround yourself with supportive people, who encourage you and make you feel good about yourself. • Exercise daily. 20 minutes of walking can affect your mood positively and reduce stress and increase vitality. • Help someone. Volunteer. The simple act of helping others helps us feel joy and our positive attitude is reinforced. • Find humor in simple things. Laughter has tremendous healing power, releases tension, and increases your energy level. • Let gratitude enhance your life. Express appreciation to others. When we focus on being grateful, worry, fear and anxiety will melt away with little effort. • The power of optimistic thinking resides in the expectation of good things and good experiences. This Winter/Spring 2012-2013 recreation program brochure offers you a wide variety of fun ways to stay active and help you live a full, healthy and positive life. Whether you sign up for Aqua Workout or Judo, try a fitness class like Pilates, or Zumba, register the kids for Swim lessons, Baton, Cheerleading, or NBAA basketball, or head to the parks to enjoy family time sledding, skating, skiing, or building a snowman; parks and recreation offers you a wide variety of fun ways to stay active, be healthy, and have fun with family and friends! Parks & Recreation is Your Best Investment! We invite you and your family to get “All Aboard” with Parks & Recreation this Winter Season!

American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” Program Class Structure American Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructors teach swimming skills along with Lifeguards in the water as Swim Aides. Courses are divided into four levels. Swimmers must start at Level 1 and pass each level Beginners (B) and Advanced (A) before registering for the next level. Participants will be given a progress report at the conclusion of each session listing the skills they have completed. Children often need to repeat certain levels before advancing on to the next level.

Special Spring Swim Registration Procedure You may only register for one session of Youth Swim at a time. All Youth winter swim participants (including Tots and Juniors) must wait until Thursday, February 28 to register for the Spring Session. Evaluations will be distributed to the students on the last day of class. If you are not registering for winter swim, you may register for the Spring Session now.

Prerequisites: We have added prerequisites to our computer registration program to assure that everyone is in the correct swimming level. This will help ensure that the swim classes move smoothly for everyone.

New to our Program? If you are new to our program and are starting in one of the level programs above 1B, you will need to register in-person, by mail or fax, as the on-line registration software will not recognize that you have successfully completed the prerequisites for the program.

Parent Observation and Expectation To create the best possible learning environment, spectators will only be allowed in the pool area for a few minutes on the first day of class and for the entire class on the last day of lessons. On the first day, parents will be excused after roll call and the introductory speech. Depending on the parent’s comfort level, it is not necessary to come in the pool area on the first day of class. Throughout the session, parents/guardians are encouraged to speak with their child’s instructor before or after class to check on the progress of their child.

Pool Temperature Requests have been made by swim participants for varying swim water temperatures. Due to limited capabilities of pool equipment controlling these temperatures, the high school maintenance department is making every effort to maintain a temperature of 81°.

Zumba

Boot Camp/Step Circuit (Adults 18+) Boot Camp Circuit Training is a complete fitness program combining strength, aerobic, and flexibility routines. The aerobic portion of Boot Camp Circuit is high intensity, NOT high impact. Each cardio burst is followed by a short period of active recovery. This method burns four times the amount of fat and calories than traditional low-impact aerobics. You will literally become a “lean, mean, fat-burning machine”! In this class you will run, jump, push, pull, throw, catch, balance and react, all the stuff you learned as a kid! Simple choreography makes this class perfect for men or women, all ages and abilities. Modifications will be given for those wishing for a less intense workout. Bring hand weights, a towel or mat, and a water bottle. All other equipment is provided. Class # 7312

(Adults 18+) Zumba combines high energy and motivating music with unique moves and combinations that allow the Zumba participants to dance away their worries. It is based on the principle that a workout should be ‘FUN AND EASY TO DO’. Zumba is not only great for the body, but is also great for the mind. It is a ‘feel-happy’ workout. ZUMBA is a fusion of Latin and International music - dance themes creating a dynamic, exciting, effective fitness system! The routines feature aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning, and total body toning. It is a mixture of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps. Come and give it a try, you have nothing to lose but calories.

Zumba Gold (Adults 50+) The Zumba® Gold Fitness program is second to none. It is an innovative, fun, and exciting program. It was designed for the active older adult, the true beginner, and/or people who are not used to exercising, or people who may be limited physically. The main difference between Zumba Gold and Zumba Basic is Zumba Gold is done at a lower intensity, not as fast, but it certainly is as fun. The same great Latin styles of music and dance are used. This amazing program is very easy to follow so anyone at any age will be able to do Zumba Gold. Dances that are specifically highlighted in this program include the Merengue, Salsa, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Rock & Roll (including Twist and Charleston), Belly Dance, Flamenco, and Tango.

Commemorative Tree Program The City of New Berlin Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department continues to sponsor a Commemorative Tree Program in 2013. The purpose of the program is to allow citizens to have a tree planted within the New Berlin Park System or at the New Berlin Hills Golf Course to honor or in memory of someone. The program originated in 1996. Since it’s inception, over 170 trees have been planted. If you are interested in having a tree planted, simply contact the Parks & Recreation Department and express your interest in the program.

Malone Park Splashpad In 2010, the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission gave approval to proceed with the planning process for future development of a Splashpad Facility at Malone Park, and to partner with the New Berlin Junior Woman’s Club and the community to fundraise for construction of this facility. A Splashpad would provide the community with a fun, familyfriendly and accessible play area where water squirts, sprays, and mists. In September 2011, the Common Council approved the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission recommendation to hire SAA Design Group of Madison to assist in the planning process. In June 2012, the conceptual design plans, cost estimates, and marketing materials were developed. Fundraising efforts are now in full swing for this exciting project! Donations can be made online at www.newberlinjuniors.org. For further information, please contact the New Berlin Junior Woman’s Club at newberlinjuniors@gmail.com.

Trailside

Park Information Weatherstone Park Playground Project In September 2012, the New Berlin Common Council approved the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission recommendation to award the contract for new playground equipment and safety surfacing for Weatherstone Park. Special thanks to Weatherstone residents Kristin Clevenstine, Richelle Facik, and Carl Deutsch, who assisted the New Berlin Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission members and city staff, in reviewing several playground design proposals as part of a playground vendor interview and presentation process in early September. The neighborhood team then worked with the New Berlin Parks & Recreation Department on final design and color selection. The project will include materials and labor for new modular playground equipment as well as poured in place rubber safety surfacing.

City of New Berlin 10th Annual Big Tree Contest Co-Sponsored by Action Garden Center and the City of New Berlin Parks & Recreation Department. Nominations will be taken to find the largest SPRUCE tree within the City of New Berlin limits. More rules and guidelines can be found on the website in 2013. The intent in sponsoring this contest is to draw the public’s attention to the many fine trees in the City and to provide a fun activity for individuals and families of New Berlin. Winners will be presented with their prizes at the May 2013 Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission meeting.

The project timeline will include ordering of the new equipment in early November for delivery in December. City parks staff will remove the existing equipment in November as well as preparing the site. Installation of the new playground equipment and safety surfacing will take place in Spring 2013.

Roof Replacement Projects – City Parks Monies were included in both the 2011 and 2012 CIP Budgets for replacement of roofs at several park buildings and shelters. In 2011, department staff worked with the students in the Construction 1&2 classes at Eisenhower High School to install new roofs at the two park shelters at Lion’s Park. In October 2012, the department finished roof replacement projects for the Freewill Baptist Church and Weston House at Historic Park, as well as park shelters at Calhoun and Malone Parks. Should you have questions on any of these projects, please contact the New Berlin Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department at (262) 7972443, or by email at parkandrec@newberlin.org

Dogs in Parks Several citizens have recently expressed concern about dogs not being on a leash and concerns about citizens not removing dog waste while walking their dogs in park areas. Dogs are welcome in the parks as long as the handler has the animal on a leash (less than 6 ft. in length) and properly cleans up after the animal. The citation for violation of ordinance 184-14(B) Dogs not on leash is $101.40 and the citation for violation of ordinance 152-10(I) Dog waste not removed is $120.30. These ordinances will be enforced by the New Berlin Police Department. However, during softball and soccer seasons, the Parks & Recreation Department has experienced some problems with dogs in the parks mixing with sports participants and spectators. With public safety in mind, the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Commission decided to not allow dogs in the spectator areas and on the athletic fields. Signs will be posted in the parks. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department at (262) 797-2443.

Picnic Shelter Reservation Information Hours: Monday thru Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Park shelter areas are available for family and group outings.

No Reservations Accepted The picnic sites will not be rented out for Malone Park on July 2nd, 3rd or 4th, or the days directly following if July 4th falls on a Friday or Saturday. This is due to the fact there will not be sufficient time for Parks crews to clean up after the 4th of July celebration in Malone Park.
