For example on April 1, 2016 reservations can be made up to and including the entire month of April for 2017. ƻŷŷĵōrōDrNJǢËÝƻ With the purchase of your season pool pass, you will get a pool key fob for each member of the family or keep your old key fobs from last year. Bring your pool key fob to the pool, it will be swiped by Pool Coordinator each time you come to the pool and your picture will come up in our computer. This prevents the sharing of pool passes. If you forget your key fob, don’t worry, we will look up your name on the computer. Each family member who is on your pool pass will need to get their picture taken. This picture will be kept in the computer at the Park and Recreation office and at the pool to help the staff identify members of your family. If you forgot your key fob or if we question if this person is part of your family, the pictures will help. Pictures can be taken at the pool or Park and Recreation office. Pictures don’t need to be taken each year. KEEP YOUR KEY FOB FROM LAST YEAR & USE WITH THIS YEAR’S RENEWAL. If you register between March 7th - June 3rd, you will get $5.00 off season pass.

The court is just under one third of the area of a tennis court and with a similar net. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer smaller version of a wiffle ball. A pickleball moves at about one-third the speed of a tennis ball, making this a sport that is more accessible to a wider range of players, particularly children and seniors. The smaller area along with the slower moving ball makes pickleball much easier to play than tennis. Please register at Park and Recreation for these leagues so we can call you with any schedule changes. You can drop in anytime to play. We form teams and switch teams up each week. At Twining, we will designate one court for beginning pickleball players. We supply the paddles and balls.

The EAB is an invasive insect native to Asia that was introduced into the United States via wooden packing material. It was first discovered near Detroit, Michigan in 2002. The insect has spread through the Midwest since its’ arrival and was discovered in Wisconsin in 2008. In the fall of 2015, it was found in Monroe. In Asia, the insect has had little impact due to the existence of natural predators. However, there are no natural predators in the United States to keep the insect in check and therefore, it has had a devastating effect on the Ash Tree population. What are firewood quarantines? The moving of firewood has caused most EAB infestations. Green County is among one of the many quarantined counties in Wisconsin. Quarantines prohibit the movement of Ash trees, branches, firewood and any other ash wood products out of a quarantined county to a non-quarantined county unless the material is chipped to one inch or smaller. What can I do about ash trees on my private property? x Monitor your trees’ health and watch for signs and symptoms such as dieback in the upper and outer tree top and “D” shaped exit holes in the bark where adult beetles have emerged. x Understand chemical treatment options. Local garden centers have soil drench products that can be applied by property owners along with local tree care companies that do trunk injections. x Private contractors can be hired for the removal of your tree. It is important to make sure you are working with a qualified contractor and they have the appropriate insurance and workers compensation coverage. The website www.emeraldashborer.wi.gov has additional information on EAB. ǻsNjNjOsǻNjssƻĶŘǼÞض The Monroe Parks and Recreation Department will offer a Spring Terrace Tree Planting Program. Tree orders for the spring planting have begun and are due on Friday, April 8th. Planting will begin the week of April 25th. Tree orders for the fall planting will be taken from Monday, August 1st through Friday, October 7th. Planting will begin Monday, October 24th. For more information regarding the terrace tree planting program, or to place an order, please call the Park & Recreation office at 329-2460. Payments must be made at the Park and Recreation Office, 1110 18th Avenue. Checks must be made out to City of Monroe. What is the City doing about EAB? A street tree inventory recently completed in Monroe identified that there are 680 terrace ash trees which is about 16% of the total street tree population. In 2016, the city plans to continue removing terrace ash trees that are in poor condition or are interfering with other infrastructures such as blocking stop signs or growing under overhead lines. Trees available for the spring planting include: Is the City cutting down my terrace tree? Property owners will also be contacted if the city will be removing their terrace ash tree. The terrace ash tree inventory and condition ratings can be seen on the city’s website at www.cityofmonroe.org under the Department Park Recreation Forestry tab. ĵŸɠµNjŸɠÞضǻNjssǣ What about chemical treatments? In 2015, 40 of the best ash trees in city parks were treated. In 2016, the city plans to begin a treatment program for ash trees that have been identified as being in good or excellent condition and have a trunk diameter of 9 inches or above. Property owners will be notified if the city will be treating their terrace ash tree. The treatment will protect the tree for two years. www.cityofmonroe.org 57 London Planetree..................................... $145.00 Turkish Hazelnut ...................................... $155.00 Regal Prince Oak ..................................... $130.00 Hackberry................................................. $145.00 Kentucky Coffee Tree .............................. $145.00 Cleveland Select Pear ............................... $55.00 Ivory Silk Lilac ............................................ $55.00 Trees available for fall planting include: American Sentry Linden ...................... $65.00 Regal Prince Oak .............................. $130.00 Kentucky Coffee Tree........................ $145.00 ĵŸɠµNjŸɠÞضǻNjssǣ Ivory Silk Lilac. .................................... $55.00 REGISTER ONLINE NOW at www.cityofmonroe.org 58 608-329-2466 (Cancellations) Thank you to all our Sponsors and Individuals for your donations!
