Outgoing Director of
Parks and Recreation
I
n May of this year the Park District’s Director will be
retiring after 39 years of dedicated service. Starting as a
lifeguard at the Fon du Lac Park District Swimming Pool
on Springfield Road, Brad continued to work as the pool
manager progressing to the Park District’s Superintendent
of Parks by 1983. In 2003 Brad was promoted to Director
of Parks and Recreation.
Brads dedication to the Park District and our community
has been overwhelming. During his tenure, he has truly
changed the face of the Park District from a small town
community park to one of the finest diversified Park
Districts in Central Illinois. His dedication and experience
has been the driving force through expanding services
offered by our district and overseeing all major projects
over several decades. From the creation of the River Trails
of Illinois, building of Splashdown Water Park, renovations
to Quail Meadows Banquet/Indoor Golf Center, maintaining
protective lands, multiple land purchases and acquisitions,
renovations of all shelters/playgrounds, and construction
of one of the finest Tumbling/Recreation Centers in the
area, Brad’s experience and leadership has truly been
inspirational to all our staff.
Brad often talks about when he started as the
Superintendent of Parks and about the lack of equipment
available to our staff to maintain our parks. Instead of
being someone sitting on the “sidelines” and complaining,
Brad pushed forward and worked with the Board of
Commissioners to build an effective Maintenance
Department with not only the right equipment but the most
qualified staff to insure our parks and facilities are the
finest in Central Illinois.
Brad’s relationship throughout our community with other
agencies has helped our district grow and expand not only
in services offered but in making our Park District one of the
most respected Park Districts in Central Illinois. His expertise
and dedication to duty has been an inspiration to all of us.
The Park District
Family wishes Brad
the very best in his

Incoming Director of
Parks and Recreation
I
want to take this opportunity
to introduce myself as the new
Director of Fon du Lac Park
District. I bring more than 30 years of
leadership experience to this position.
Over the last 32 years, I have held
several positions including: 20 years
of service in the United States Air
Force and 20 years of service to the
Park District as the Chief of Police
and Facilities Manager. I started
my military career as a Security Policemen. After 10 years,
I transferred into Disaster Preparedness where I served as
the lead instructor teaching Nuclear, Biological and Chemical
Warfare. In 2003, I was recalled to active duty and deployed to
Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Retiring from the military in 2004, I continued my career
with the Park District. Taking on a leadership role with the Park
District Police was truly a wonderful opportunity to work with
all departments within the district as well as building strong
relationships with city, state and federal agencies. As the Chief of
Police, I had the unique opportunity to be part of establishing the
first Marine Law Enforcement Unit in our area, providing Search
and Rescue Service to 4 counties on the Illinois River. I also had
the opportunity to develop the Park District’s first K9 Unit which
provides service to several agencies in Tazewell County.
I have been very blessed having the opportunity to work
closely with our retiring Director Brad Smith. Brad’s passion for
our community and our park system has been the driving force
for 33 years and has made the Fon du Lac Park District one of
the finest Park Districts in Illinois.
My goal is to continue Brad’s legacy by following our Master
Plan. This plan was developed by our executive staff and is the
foundation to take our district to the next level. As the Director,
my goal is to make sure this plan is followed ensuring the needs
of our community are met or exceeded and continue to provide
quality recreational services to our community. I will continue
to assess the needs of our community and implement a fiscally
sound plan to insure these needs are met.
Thank you for the opportunity and I look forward to serving
you in our community.
retirement and all of
Michael D. Johnson
his future endeavors.

Director, Fon du Lac Park District
In Memoriam of Carl “Bud” Schmitt
∂
In November of 2015
Park Board Commissioner,
Carl “Bud” Schmitt
passed away. Bud served
the Fon du Lac Park District
for over 50 years.
∂
B
ud graduated from East Peoria Community
High School in 1943. After briefly working
at Caterpillar, Inc. as a stenciler, Bud
enlisted in the United States Navy in October of
1943 after his 18th birthday. Finishing his training
at the Naval Station Great Lakes, he served on the
South Pacific front both in Hawaii and Guam before
moving to Washington, D.C., as a teletype technician
(electrician’s mate third class) who broke codes
during World War II until 1946. He was decorated
with the Victory Medal, America Area Campaign
Medal, and the Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign Medal.
Returning from service in 1946, Bud opened a
Texaco gas station in East Peoria while attending
Eureka College, where he graduated with a B.S. in
education. Furthering his education, Bud graduated
from Bradley University with a master’s degree
and additional hours in business administration. He
was the assessor for the Fon du Lac Township from
1948 to 1952. During his long career with the East
Peoria Grade School District 86 starting in 1964, he
was a teacher, principal, business administrator, and
retired in 1992 as the associate superintendent.
As a lifelong resident of East Peoria, Bud was
dedicated to serving and bettering those within
his community. He was quoted as saying he was
born and raised in East Peoria and truly loved it.
Receiving many accolades and positions within
each organization, he was actively involved with
the East Peoria Rotary Club, Salvation Army,
Salvation Army Tree of Lights Campaign, District
86 Foundation Board, District 86 School Board
secretary, Illinois Association of Park Districts for
over 45 years, East Peoria Riverfront Development
Commission, Fon du Lac Library Board, East Peoria
Historical Committee, Illinois Regional Board of
Superintendents, and Illinois Regional School Board
of Trustees. Bud was named Citizen of the Year in
1991 in East Peoria. Also, after riding over 25,000
miles of trails, the span of river trail in East Peoria
was renamed the Carl “Bud” Schmitt River Trail on
July 18, 2011.
Bud was also a life-long parishioner of St.
Monica’s Catholic Church in East Peoria, where
he attended faithfully and served in many different
ministries, touching the lives of many.
Known worldwide, Bud Schmitt was a dedicated
and avid fan of the University of Notre Dame. After
starting to attend the University of Notre Dame
football games in the 1940s when a fellow high
school teammate played, Schmitt obtained four
season tickets and had never missed a home game,
always attending with family and friends. This was
his 60th year of never missing a home football
game, and his passionate Irish spirit will live on
forever. In Bud’s words, “Go Irish!”

If you are unsure which swim lesson level your child should be place in,

to assess your child’s ability and determine which level of swimming
lesson best fits his or her needs.

Private Swim Lessons
Children & Adults
Do you or your child need a little extra help in swimming? Do the times
scheduled for group lessons not really fit into your busy schedule? Private
swim lessons can offer a solution! Splashdown's private swim lessons
offer more individualized attention and more specific skill development.
Working with an instructor one-on-one gives you a more comfortable
setting to learn and advance at a faster rate. We are also willing to work
with adults and teens that need a little extra encouragement to overcome
their hydrophobia (fear of the water). Private lessons are scheduled on a
first come first served basis. There are a limited number of openings and
instructors available. Private lessons for ages 4 and up.

Important Information: Please contact the Splashdown Front Office at

the age, swimming ability, and goals for the person that will be receiving
the private swim lessons. Also, indicate any preferences you have regarding the instructor that will be teaching the lessons. The Splashdown
Lesson Director will then contact you and let you know if she is able to
meet your request.

All Levels Offered All 3 Sessions
Aqua Tots - Exploration I
Aqua Tots - Exploration II
This program is designed around your child to develop a high comfort level in
and around the water. The class will use play as a basic form of learning and
provide fun and enjoyment in the water. It also provides parental involvement
in the learning process and reinforces the parent’s role in the child’s learning
of skills.
This swim class is designed for your child who is still growing comfortable
in the water but is not quite ready for the independence of our Level I swim
class. This program is centered on guiding the parent and child through
multiple exercises and activities that introduce elementary water skills and
promote independent swimming. Once your child can perform basic skills
without parental assistance, they may begin Level I swim lessons.
For 2 - 4 years of age
For 6 months - 2 years of age

Cheerleading and Train With the Best!
Ages 3 & up / male & female
Season Commitment Required / Full Season and Half Season Offered
Competitive and Performance (non-competitive) Teams Offered
For all cheerleading questions, contact Veronica Utley, Titanium Twist Head Coach
309-634-1181 • [email protected] • www.titaniumtwistcheer.com
Titanium Twist performance & competitive cheerleading teams consist of cheerleaders from all over Central Illinois ages 3 and up
who are united together in a family oriented training program. Together, participants work hard on cheerleading skills such as straight
cradles and/or double twisting dismounts, multiple basket toss variations, exciting pyramids, awesome partner stunts, multiple reloads,
jump technique and proper executions, beginner to advanced tumbling skills, hip-hop/cheer dance routines and much, much more.
Participants then incorporate these skills into a fully choreographed routine that is performed to music. Throughout the season, each
team will perform their routines at All Star Cheerleading events.
Each cheerleader is equally important to each routine. With each unique cheerleader comes a special added touch to each team.
This is what makes each team its own. Each student will experience fun and intense group training with individual attention. Students
will receive an opportunity to learn the core principles of responsibility, discipline, sportsmanship, social skills, teamwork, commitment
and unity. Cheerleaders will also receive a boost of confidence and increase their self-esteem as well as physical and mental strength
to truly excel as they become young adults. Coaches will place the athlete where he/she thinks the student will excel the most.
We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to experience the excitement of "All Star" cheerleading. Our coaches love what
they do and it shows! Our gym is fun as well as competitive because we believe that having fun and loving what you do shows on the
performance floor! We want everyone to have fun and feel welcome as they learn.
Performance All Star Cheer Teams
Peformance cheerleading is just like competitive cheerleading
except there is no judgement, no score sheets, no level
restrictions, no placements. Just pure excitment, fun and a
sense of accomplishment. Our program is designed to teach
athletes beginner to elite cheer skills, levels 1 - 5 allowing
athletes to be an ALL STAR Cheerleader without the traditional
competitive All Star's cost and demand.

and tumbling skills and be placed on a team based on age and
skill level. Teams work hard multiple days per week on meeting
the performance requirements set forth by the cheer board
(United States All Star Federation). Teams will compete their
skills in a fully choreographed routine to music against other
teams from all over the nation at local and out of town events for
titles recognized world wide. (ESPN Cheerleading)
