WELCOME 3 What do these symbols mean? First Time Offered, give it a try! A Cooperative Program agreement with other local recreation departments or agencies. Good to Know... Before You Enroll! Spectators Register First All persons are required to register PRIOR to participation in ANY program. Registrations and fees cannot be handled at the sites by instructors or any staff members. Please be prepared to show your receipt at the first class session. Instructors have the authority to disallow participation until proof is given. Registration Information (page 77) Enrollment Forms (pages 78 & 79) Ages Indicated Children must be the age indicated on or before the FIRST class session. Self-care “Time Out” Dates This is the date our staff checks class enrollment status. If the minimum enrollment has not been met, the class may be cancelled. Yes, you can register in-person or by fax after the “Time Out” date if openings exist. To check class status call 329-5370 (M-F 9 AM-6 PM). Remember to bring your receipt to first class for verification. Special Refund Note Due to the purchasing of supplies, requests for refunds, credits or transfers after the “Time Out” date will only be honored if your spot can be filled. 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 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. Register On-line Today www.greenfieldwi.us/parksrec 4 GENERAL INFORMATION 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. • Parent/Child Classes 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.

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. As a public service, timely program information can be found on a regular basis in the CNI Greenfield NOW, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel “Neighbors,” Suburban and Sports sections, Warner Community Access Channel, and the department web site at www.greefieldwi.us/parksrec. 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. 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. 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. 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.

Openings for positions as lifeguards, officials, program supervisors, and instructors for various programs are usually filled from current applications on file.

(414) 329-7370 | 24-hour information line (414) 297-9008 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 nonresident 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). Nonresidents 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. • P ersons who pay partial City of Greenfield property taxes are entitled to a prorated non-resident surcharge based on the percentage of their City of Greenfield tax contribution in relation to their overall property tax bill (payment to other City/Village/ Township entities). For example: If 20% of your overall property tax bill is paid to the City of Greenfield, your non-resident surcharge rate would be 80% (i.e., resident fee of $10 = adjusted non-resident fee of $18). GENERAL INFORMATION 5 Program Fees A - It is the policy of the Parks & Recreation Board that program participants help defray the direct costs related to an activity/program (i.e. leadership, equipment, park facilities, etc.) through the assessment of fees and charges.

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.

AQUATICS 9 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 Ratio 1:10 Ages 1-4 Years Each child must be accompanied by parent or caregiver Parents and children learn together to increase a child’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 fun-filled 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 age 4 on or before first class and 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 on 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, and independent swimming with front and back strokes are the primary focus. Learn-to-Swim (Ages 6-teens) Level 1 Ratio 1:6 Level 2 Ratio 1:6 Level 3 Ratio 1:6 Level 4 Ratio 1:8 Level 5 Ratio 1:8 Level 6 Ratio 1:8 Beyond Level 6 Ratio 1:8 Ages 6-9 Years There are no prerequisites for this level Ages 6-9 Years Prerequisite: Level 1, 7 years old and completed Seahorse Ages 7-10 Years Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level 2 or Goldfish Ages 7-12 Years Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level 3 Ages 8-12 Years Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level 4 Ages 9-13 Years Introduction to Water Skills Level 1 teaches basic personal water safety and skills to help children feel comfortable in the water while learning elementary aquatic skills. Age-appropriate water safety topics are reviewed. Fundamental Aquatic Skills Level 2 gives participants success with fundamental skills such as floating and recovering to a vertical position. 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. Stroke Refinement Level 5 refines strokes learned in Level 4 and increases distances of swimming. Participants are also introduced to front and back flip turns. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level 5 Swimming and Skill Proficiency Level 6 refines the strokes so participants swim with ease, efficiency, power and smoothness over greater distances. It helps prepare for more advanced classes such as Lifeguarding and Competitive Swimming. Prerequisite: Successful completion of Level 6 This level is unique to Greenfield Parks & Recreation to keep kids swimming. Stroke refinements, junior lifeguarding skills, and fitness swimming are just some of the things this level can cover, based upon the interest of the class.

MEDICATIONS Park and Recreation Department staff members are not allowed to provide medications for any participant.

Sunscreen/sun block should be applied prior to coming and some should be sent along with your child to apply during the day. Sandals and Jelly shoes are not allowed for safety reasons.

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 self-control, 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. OPEN HOUSE (New Students) Wednesday May 27 or July 15 or September 2 at 5:10 PM Take this opportunity to meet the instructor and learn what takes place in the classroom — activities, Korean customs, and rules of etiquette.

(414) 329-7370 | 24-hour information line (414) 297-9008 GRILLING SAFETY TIPS Fire in the grill, under hot dogs and burgers, is a welcome sight at the family cookout. But fire anywhere else can make your summer barbecue memorable for all the wrong reasons. • Propane and charcoal BBQ grills should only be used outdoors. • The grill should be placed well away from the home, deck railings, and out from under eaves and overhanging branches. • Keep children and pets away from the grill area. • Keep your grill clean by removing grease or fat buildup from the grills and in trays below the grill. • Never leave your grill unattended. Charcoal Grills There are several ways to get the charcoal ready to use... • Charcoal chimney starters allow you to start the charcoal using newspaper as a fuel. • If you use a starter fluid, use only charcoal starter fluid. Never add charcoal fluid or any other flammable liquids to the fire. • Keep charcoal fluid out of the reach of children and away from heat sources. • There are also electric charcoal starters, which do not use fire. Be sure to use an extension cord for outdoor use. • When you are finished grilling, let the coals cool completely before disposing in a metal container. Propane Grills Check the gas tank hose for leaks before using it for the first time each year. Apply a light soap and water solution to the hose. A propane leak will release bubbles. If your grill has a gas leak, by smell or the soapy bubble test, and there is no flame, turn off the gas tank and grill. If the leak stops, get the grill serviced by a professional before using it again. If the leak does not stop, call the fire department. If you smell gas while cooking, immediately get away from the grill and call the fire department. Do not move the grill.

At the time of this writing, while the weather is still a bit chilly, economic development is heating up. The former Mount Carmel site will soon transform into a Meijer’s store, significant progress is in the works for the old Chapman School area, and a substantial office building is contemplated for Loomis Road, north of 894. These, and other developments, result in a substantial investment in our City. We are committed to positive long-term development and re-development within our City. We have a reputation as a positive place to do business, and bring business! We continue to build upon our positive working relationships with our School Districts, Greenfield and Whitnall. Collaboration is the key to success, and our partners agree. A number of new initiatives are in the works. As every summer approaches, so too does a new road building season. With all construction comes the need for patience and caution. We actively manage our projects to compress timelines and inconvenience the best we can. Even still, in this rushed world, it almost never seems to be done quickly enough. We understand—just know we’re trying. Please be cautious around construction sites. Drive slowly, watch for construction workers and barricades, and keep your eyes peeled for children. This Recreator has been expanded to include more events and opportunities in our area. Take a look; there’s plenty to do to make your summer better! Holidays City Hall will be closed May 25 (Memorial Day) July 3 (4th of July) September 7 (Labor Day Congratulations go out to re-elected Alderpersons Akers, Kastner, and Saryan.

Summer 2015 | Making Greenfield A Better Place 37 Fire Department Station One 5330 W. Layton Ave., Greenfield, WI 53220 Non-Emergency (414) 761-5306 Station Two (Headquarters) 4333 S. 92nd St., Greenfield, WI 53228 Non-Emergency (414) 545-7946 The primary mission of the Greenfield Fire Department is fire prevention. We attempt to accomplish this mission through proactive education, creation of a fire prevention code, making individuals aware of the code and enforcing the code. In an effort to pursue our mission and because we receive many questions related to permissible burning and fire pits the Greenfield Municipal Ordinance is listed below. Non-compliance can result in a citation/fine but most importantly jeopardizes safety and can create an un-neighborly situation. Be respectful and a good neighbor. Greenfield Municipal Ordinance 18.15(5) (b) Permissible burning. 1. G rills. For other than one-family and two-family dwellings, no hibachi, gas-fired grills, charcoal grill or similar devices used for cooking, heating, or any other purpose shall be used or kindled on any balcony or under any overhanging portion of a building. Grilling on ground level is permissible provided that the grill is at least 10 feet away from any structure. Smoke must not be a nuisance to neighbors, or public roadways. Listed electrical ranges, grills or similar electrical apparatus shall be permitted. 2. O pen fires, fire pits, and recreational fires. Open fires, fire pits, and recreational fires shall comply with the requirements of NFPA 1 and the following requirements: a. Portable fire pits and open fires: 1) P ortable fire pits shall not be used or kindled on any balcony or under any overhanging portion or within 10 feet of any structure. 2) Portable fire pits must be placed on a noncombustible surface. 3) Portable fire pits shall be listed by a nationally recognized testing organization 4) B urning of yard waste or other refuse is prohibited; only clean, dry wood can be used. 5) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire. 6) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads. b. Recreational fires (lined in-ground pit): 1) S hall not be located within 25 feet of a structure or combustible material unless contained in an approved manner. 2) The total fuel area shall not exceed 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height. 3) Only clean, dry wood can be burned. 4) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire. 5) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads. c. Open fires (bon fire): 1) Permit must be obtained from the Fire Chief. 2) Permitted open fires shall be located not less than 50 feet from any structure. 3) Only clean, dry wood can be burned. 4) Flammable or combustible liquids shall not be used to ignite the fire. 5) Smoke shall be limited and not become a nuisance to neighbors or public roads. 3. A ll fires must be supervised at all times by an adult and have the proper means available to extinguish the fire. No fire shall be left unattended. Many communities have and continue to tackle the issue of allowing open burning; ironically though the trouble is not over traditional fire prevention concerns, but due to the presence of smoke in residential neighborhoods. Therefore, the Greenfield Fire Department offers these additional recommendations: • Open burning is only allowed during prescribed times and is subject to regulation and violation. • When allowed, limit the number of open burning fires. Don’t burn every day, just on occasion. • Move the location in your yard that complies with distance requirements but also does not allow smoke to immediately drift towards neighbors or structures. • Do not have fires when the air is heavy and smoke stays close to the ground. Be aware of wind direction/speed. • Be aware of neighbor’s windows being open. • Be a good neighbor. 38 Greenfield Sheet | Community Newsletter Shredding Event Greenfield Residents Only! Bring I.D.

Restaurant Inspection Reports to be Available Online The Health Department is working with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services to make all Greenfield restaurant inspections publicly available via the internet. Following Board of Health approval to permit access to restaurant inspection results, department staff has been working to create the Greenfield portal that will contain inspection reports. The department anticipates the inspection reports becoming available in June, with a link to the portal from the department website. 40 Many vaccine-preventable diseases are making a comeback due to waning immunization levels in certain parts of the U.S. and across the globe. The Disneyland measles outbreak (December 2014 – April 2015) is an example of the recurrence of vaccine-preventable disease that can be averted with the appropriate immunizations for school-age children. The prevention against these disease outbreaks and medical complications among high-risk individuals is a high rate of vaccination in the community. The Greenfield Health Department works corroboratively to track immunization rates for key populations in the City. Among two-year-old children in Greenfield, the vaccination level for measles is nearly 90 percent. The 90 percent level of vaccination is significant because this is the level that public health experts believe provides high levels of immunity to those who cannot be vaccinated – most notably those under one year of age. Rates of vaccination increase with a child’s age, and current school and daycare rates are nearly 98 percent overall. Vaccinations are important for protection against disease and for overall health, therefore ensuring your child is up-to-date is very important. Please take the time to review those immunization records with your child’s doctor. The Wisconsin Student Immunization Law outlines which vaccines are required for school registration by grade. Specific age and timing is associated with certain immunizations, including prior to attending kindergarten, in middle school and before your child’s senior year in high school. Additional information can be found through your child’s medical doctor, at https://www.dhs.wisconsin.gov/ immunization/reqs.htm, or by calling the Greenfield Health Department at (414) 329-5275. Disabled Parking Certification Public Health Nurses at the Greenfield Health Department can now certify applications for individuals with a permanent or temporary disability. There is no charge for the service. Greenfield residents can make an appointment with a nurse to certify the application. Please call 329-5275 for questions or to schedule an appointment.

Fifth Anniversary of Smoke-Free Air Law On July 5, 2015, we celebrate the fifth anniversary of Wisconsin’s Statewide Smoke‐Free Air Law (State Statute 101.123, Wisconsin Act 12). This law defined smoking as the use of a cigar, cigarette, pipe or other lighted smoking equipment. The law made indoor workplaces, including all restaurants and bars 100% smoke-free. The state law also included 100% of hotels and motels, by which Wisconsin became the first state to make 100% of hotel rooms smoke-free. In October 2014, the Greenfield Common Council voted to expand smoke-free prohibitions within the City to include electronic smoking devices, the category of devices that includes e-cigarettes, e-pipes, e-cigars and other similar devices. Upon approval, Greenfield became the third Wisconsin municipality to prohibit the use of electronic smoking devices and has recently been joined by Madison and Wauwatosa in passing local laws. Electronic smoking devices have been prohibited in nearly 350 jurisdictions nationwide including the states of New Jersey, North Dakota and Utah, and large metropolitan cities including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and Seattle. FEEDING WILD ANIMALS For many of us, the summer months bring the enjoyment of watching birds, squirrels, deer or other wildlife meander through our yards. While watching these animals can be pleasant and relaxing, the feeding of wild animals is a common concern throughout Greenfield. Feeding birds is permitted within Greenfield city limits, however Municipal Code does not allow for feeding birds with seeds, nuts, or other food placed on the ground. Placing bird food on the ground is not permitted because this activity will attract mice, rats and other rodents. Code states that “food for birds shall be placed on raised platforms or such feed shall be placed where it is not accessible to rodents.” Similarly, squirrels may be fed by using appropriate feeders only. The feeding of other wildlife, including deer, is discouraged by Municipal Code and by wildlife experts and organizations for many reasons. Primarily, feeding wild animals will cause them to become too comfortable in urban residential areas and may cause them to damage residential trees and shrubs. In addition, feeding of animals may create problems with rodents or prey animals in residential areas. In summary, please enjoy wild animals from afar and do not feed. Any questions or comments about Municipal Code pertaining to animals may be addressed to the Health Department at (414) 329-5275. Dogs and City Rules Warmer weather provides a great opportunity for families and pets to enjoy the outdoors. With that in mind, we want to highlight several rules in Municipal Code related to dogs. 1. D og feces shall be removed from yards, pens and enclosures daily or more often, if necessary, and stored in tightly covered containers until final disposal. 2. A ll dogs and cats must have a current license issued by the City Treasurer or the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC). 3. D ogs and cats over three (3) months of age shall have current immunization against rabies with owners maintaining proof of such vaccination. 4. A nimals maintained outside shall have appropriate food, water, and shelter. 5. N o household is permitted more than two (2) dogs or cats, or any combinations thereof, which are over the age of three (3) months, unless a person holds a valid animal fancier permit. The Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission (MADACC) provides a variety of veterinary services at a minimal charge to county residents; see http://www. madacc.org for additional information. Any questions or comments about Municipal Code pertaining to animals may be addressed to the Health Department at (414) 329-5275. Animals in the City While dogs and cats are permitted, per Municipal Code Chapter 12.11, certain animals are prohibited within the City of Greenfield. Excluded animals include those classified by Code as “livestock” including, but not limited to, any bees, cows, horses, sheep, swine, chickens, rabbits, ducks, turkeys, geese, pigeons or any other domesticated livestock. Similarly, wild animals are prohibited and include bats, raccoons, poisonous snakes or reptiles, poisonous insects or arachnids, cheetah, cougar, lion, tiger, wolf or wolf-dog hybrids, offspring of wild species cross-bred with domestic dogs and cats.

The purpose of the seminar is to help family members, caregivers, and friends have sensitive and successful conversations with loved ones about driving safety, especially when it is time to limit or stop driving. Older Driver Facts: • Most older adults are safe drivers. However, the risks of accident, injury, and fatality increase with age, and especially with changes in medical conditions or declines in physical and mental function. • Older drivers and their close relatives prefer that conversations and decisions about driving safety be handled within the family, with the exception of possibly including doctors in those discussions. • Conversations about the need to modify driving can be difficult for older drivers and their families. Seminar Participants Learn to: • Recognize the value of driving to older adults and how a perceived loss of independence can affect decision making; • Create opportunities to talk about driving safety and transportation needs; • Make objective observations of driving skills; • Help meet transportation needs if driving is limited; and • Develop a plan for more successful and sensitive conversations about limiting or stopping driving.

To register simply call the Greenfield Parks & Recreation Department (414) 329-5370 (M-F 9 AM-6 PM) Deadline: Sept. 1 Summer 2015 | Making Greenfield A Better Place 45 From your City Forester Communiurty Happenings Dennis Fermenich Alert! Emerald ash Borer is killing ash trees in all parts of the city. Although it is difficult to assess the true number of ash trees killed in Greenfield, records suggest the city has already lost over 200 private and municipal ash trees to Emerald ash borer. Don’t let your ash tree be the next to die from this voracious pest. Learn how to protect your trees from EAB by visiting our Forestry information booth this summer at the Greenfield Farmers market. There you will get up to date how to information on tree maintenance and treatment. Find out how you can inexpensively protect your trees from Emerald ash Borer. Get the latest handouts on tree care, treatment and wood utilization including information from the Wisconsin University Extension Office, Wisconsin DNR, Department of Agriculture and Greenfield Forestry division of DPW. Join us for daily demonstrations of soil and injection treatments to save the ash trees. In 2014, Greenfield DWP/Forestry began treating ash trees against EAB. To date, the city has treated over 300 ash trees on city streets and in park. This year, we will continue to treat street and park trees and expand the program to treatment of some prominent ash trees on school grounds. Greenfield has several neighborhoods where ash trees were planted before EAB (emerald ash borer), was discovered in North America and we feel treatment is essential to preserving the quality of those neighborhoods. Reports from EAB infested communities in Michigan and elsewhere tells us to expect 100% of the untreated ash trees to die from this pest within 13 years after introduction. Although EAB was officially documented in Greenfield in 2013, it appears that some EAB activity (insect galleries) in Greenfield may be as much as 7 years old. Once introduced, as the EAB population gradually builds; it takes 9 years to kill the first 20% of the ash trees. After that time the EAB population reaches a flash point and the remaining ash begin to die at a rate of 20% each year until all of the untreated trees are dead. Let me repeat: 100% of the untreated ash are expected to die from this pest within 13 years after introduction. If your right of way ash is not part of the treatment program, the city will allow you to hire a professional to treat it for you but at your expense. Because funds are so limited, the city will only be treating the best of the ash trees and only where their loss would have the greatest effect on the street or neighborhood. If you own an ash and want to keep it, START TREATING IT NOW!

FANTASY FOOTBALL 4 TEENS Wednesdays Ages 11-15 Mike Seavert, Commissioner Calling all diehard NFL fans…whether you’re a beginner or pro, come play fantasy football games with a unique twist, while meeting others and making new friends. Our main game combines traditional fantasy football with an eliminator-type game. No two weeks are the same, as you draft a new team each week. The twist here is that once you choose a player, you cannot choose them again the rest of the season. This is not only a game of skill, but one of strategy (while learning about players from all NFL teams). Other games played are a traditional fantasy football game where you choose a team within a budget, and team pick ‘em. We meet only three times throughout the season. The rest is all done from home through a custom website for our program, so participants will need to have an e-mail address to participate.

Fact: Regular exercise, by building strength and stamina, prevents loss of bone mass and improves balance, actually reducing your risk of falling. Walk With Confidence is a structured social walking program that offers support to help participants develop successful exercise routines. Little by little, you will see improvements as you begin to strengthen muscle and improve balance–both important in staying active and avoiding falls. The program is designed for people with or without arthritis and can even be modified to meet the needs of individual participants so that each person can develop an exercise routine that fits their unique goals. All classes will start with a chair warm-up to increase range of motion, improve muscle tone, and promote cardiovascular health —then easing into walking at a comfortable pace. Please wear aerobic/fitness shoes, and bring your towel and a bottle of water. Canes, walkers, and fitness poles welcome. Enrollment: Min. 6 / Max 15.

This group exercise program has been especially designed and modified to incorporate a series of movements and proper exercise techniques to help increase overall stamina. Set to music to rejuvenate you, this class is done while sitting on a chair so the pelvis and hips are stabilized, enabling easier movement of the torso and arms without fear of injury or strain. Optional standing posture alternatives will be introduced as well, with the use of a chair for balance and support. No mat exercises or lying on the floor. Canes, walkers, and fitness poles welcome. Enrollment: Min. 7 / Max. 25. (*) Adults with any type of arthritis or fibromyalgia are eligible.

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 • Honor a family member, friend or associate • Celebrate a special occasion/event • Remember a loved one • Recognize an achievement • 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.
