Welcome
Invasive Plant Species
Outstaying Their Welcome
As you’re looking through the Winter
Activity Guide, you’ll find all your tried
and true favorites for youth, adults and
seniors. And, if you’re anything like me,
you’ll probably be looking for a class that
will help you shed the pounds you may
have gained from overindulging during the
holiday season!
For the little ones, we have sports and
fitness classes, as well as a Mother/
Daughter Yoga class. For the adults who
are looking for something to meet their
New Year’s resolution, you can find over
a dozen fitness classes ranging from
our traditional programs to the newest
workout craze, ballet-inspired exercise!
Barre Fusion combines yoga, dance,
and traditional workout moves. For our
customers who are 50+, we’re offering
Zumba Gold for the first time.
Speaking of the holidays, I am sure we
have all had holiday guests who outstayed
their welcome. In UA, we also have
some guests who have outstayed their
welcome – invasive species! Throughout
the community, we can see the ravaging
effects of Emerald Ash Borer. These
invasive insects are going to eliminate
our entire population of native ash trees,
opening up areas for several other invasive
species to take over. In order to combat
this plight, a new volunteer effort is
underway help. UA resident Annemarie
Smith is organizing the Upper Arlington
Weed Warriors, a network of volunteers
who will assist the UA Parks & Forestry
Division with invasive plant control
projects. Residents who are interested in
participating in one or more work days per
year should contact Annemarie to sign up.
The Upper Arlington Weed Warriors has a
Facebook page that you can “like” to
stay updated on invasive plant-related
events in Upper Arlington, or you
can contact Smith directly by email
at [email protected] or phone at
614-570-3412.
Volunteering is not only a great way to do
ON THE COVER: An ice carver impresses the crowd at Winter Festival.
something positive for our community, but
to get some outdoor exercise and meet new
people.
Let’s all make a commitment to get outside
and stay active this winter--it’s good for us
and our community!
Have a great holiday season and wonderful
winter.

Camp Once In A While
Recreation Staff
Camp Once In A While is programmed for the occasional, drop-in or
intermittent camper. The difference between Camp Once In A While
and our other day camp programs is that the fee is a per hour fee,
versus a per day fee at the three full-time camps. Campers enjoy
the same activities described in the full-time camps, however Camp
Once In A While does not close for field trips which allows parents
attendance flexibility and cost savings. Should your child need to
attend an occasional full-day at camp, the per day fee cap is $35.
Campers should bring a daily sack lunch, water bottle/drink and
snack. Registration is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fitness Policies
Want to try a new class? Before committing, students may try out
one session of a class on the Fitness Schedule Grid with no payment
obligation . Introduce yourself to the instructor and complete the
fitness waiver.
Register on Time – Although participants may still enroll after
a fitness class begins, there is a revenue amount that needs to be
covered for a class to be financially viable. If we don’t reach that
target figure by the start date of the class, we may be forced to
cancel. To avoid unexpected cancellations of your regular class,
please register promptly.
Customize your program – Classes on the Fitness Schedule Grid
may be prorated. If you are unable to attend all of the scheduled
sessions in a section, we can adjust to the frequency or number of
classes that suits you best. Prorating must be done during your
initial transaction.
Because of increased staff time and the unpredictability of
class revenues due to prorating, the prorate fee reflects a slightly
increased rate per class. Enrolling for two days of a three-day-aweek class remains at the standard price per class. Prorating is not
available online.
ADULT
Missed a fitness class? – If you miss a class, make it up in any
other class on the Fitness Schedule Grid during the designated
section of your absence.
Missed class due to cancellation – LLL is unable to provide
refunds or credits for cancellations due to inclement weather or
building closures. Make-ups are available in any other Fitness Grid
class. Refunds or credits are given for instructor cancellations.

Water walking is easy on the joints, supports the body’s
weight and minimizes pain. It provides three times the
resistance of air, so as you walk, you’re really strengthening
and building muscle. Water walking and open swim run
concurrently and are monitored, not instructed.

dichroic optical properties, greatly expanding the array

Josie Gonot, A Taste of France
Enjoy an authentic cultural
celebration of the annual
January 6 holiday, La Fête des
Rois. Like French citizens in
every region, you are invited to
participate in the traditional
custom of sharing an authentic,
Galette des Rois, or King’s Cake,
a round puff pastry filled with
almond cream and la fève, the traditional hidden bean.
If you find the la fève in your Galette slice, you shall be
crowned by the group, according to custom, as the French
King or Queen. Before your royal ceremony, you taste three
other pastries of historical significance from the regions
of Normandy, Pays Basque and Provence. All served with
French Roast. Guests put their name in the chapeau for
the January drawing for an imported French food product
valued $5-$7. Gentlemen always put their name in twice!

Electric shocks/fires; gas leaks/explosions; carbon

Crepes of La Chandeleur
February 2 in France still commemorates the old-world
holiday of La Chandeleur. According to custom, each family
member of age flipped a thin pancake from a hot iron skillet
high in the air while holding a gold piece in the left hand.
Success with this feat of culinary prowess insured goodness
and prosperity in the New Year. Let your modern hostess
handle the hot skillet. Guest simply take their still warm and
freshly-buttered delicacies off the floor (oops!) and onto a
waiting buffet table of delectable fillings, such as Nutella
and a variety of imported premium preserves from Bonne
Maman. Modern Chandeleur guests put their name in the
chapeau for the February drawing of an imported French
home product valued $8-$10. Gentlemen always put their
name in twice! Bon appétite and bonne chance!

A French Taste of the Spanish Border
In the Pyrénees Mountains live the mysterious Basque
people. World linguists still cannot trace the origins of
their language. Originally armed by Franco, the Leftist
Basque political party, ETA, still pursues bloody violence in
an agenda to win separation from both France and Spain.
Several arrests were made in 2012 by the EU counterterrorism units. Is the Basque diet just too rich in goat
milk? Bull-fighting pants too tight? Well, just wait ‘till you
taste their food! Watch a video about these dangerous
cowboys while Josie serves a clandestine sample meal of
Basque Shepherd Cheese, a hot bowl of Cassoulet meat
stew, and an authentic Basque Lemon Cake for dessert.

System, a mass communications program designed to quickly
provide emergency and other important City updates to residents

With UA Alerts, the City can quickly notify residents of
updates that include impending severe weather, fires, toxic
environmental issues, missing children and criminal activity, as
well as other useful City service updates and community news.
If your phone number is not listed in the White or Yellow
Pages and you did not receive the launch message from the City
in November, it is still possible to self-register via the UA Alerts
registration portal. See the information in the inset box at right
for details of your options.
