Kettering Friends,

Once again, Kettering is being recognized at the national level as one of the finalists for the NRPA Gold Medal Award. Many of you might not know that this award is the highest honor within parks and recreation, almost like the Oscars to the movie industry. The winner will be announced mid-October at the national conference in Houston, Texas.

We are in the planning stages of a new neighborhood park that will be located near the Acorn Walk Development, located off of Acorn Drive. We are excited to hold a series of public meetings in August and September to gather ideas that residents may have for this park. Visit ketteringoh.org for meeting dates and times.

It’s back to school time and the perfect time to get back into your fitness routine. With the fitness facilities at Kettering Recreation Complex and the Kettering Fitness and Wellness Center, you’re sure to find the right activity to reach your fitness goals. Exciting new classes like TRX suspension training and indoor cycling and zumba are great alternatives to traditional workouts. Stop by for a personal tour today!

With our parks being used more than ever, we need your help to keep them looking great. Our Eagle Eye Program encourages residents to keep an eye on their parks and report suspicious activity to the Kettering Police Department. With your help we can keep our parks looking great for years to come.

Remember, access to fitness could be right outside your front door. Take a walk, play a game of basketball or join the kids on the playground at one of our renovated parks.

As always please contact me at 296-2454 or [email protected]. I’d love to hear how your family enjoys the recreation and cultural opportunities in Kettering.

All the best,

GIFT CERTIFICATESA great gift idea for any occasion! Purchase gift certificates at any recreation facility for most of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts programs.

ADvISORy BOARD

The City of Kettering is committed to providing recreational opportunities to all Kettering area residents

without regard to economic circumstances. For this reason, a financial assistance program is available for qualifying families or individuals through funds provided from the Kettering Parks Foundation. Currently

the Foundation is raising money through the reach for the Sky campaign. We hope to

be able to provide scholarships in 2013. More information on the Parks Foundation can be found on the website at: www.ketteringparksfoundation.org.

KETTERING MAyOR & COUNCILMISSION STATEMENTWe provide parks, recreation and cultural arts spaces, places and programs that make Kettering a premier community to live work and play.

vISION STATEMENTWe strive to enhance the quality of life for all residents and to distinguish Kettering as the community of choice.

IS My CLASS CANCELED DUE TO POOR wEATHER?

When Kettering City Schools are closed due to inclement weather, all registered programs that occur before 5 p.m. are canceled. A decision will be made by 3 p.m. whether evening classes will be canceled. Please call our hotline at 296-3282 for up-to-date weather cancellations.

ACCESS TO ALLIf you are a person with a disability and would like more information and support for accessibility of programs and facilities, please give us a call at 296-2587. Leisure assistance may be scheduled upon request.

FAIR SHARE POLICyThe Kettering resident or person working in Kettering makes a significant contribution to the financing and operation of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. The City property tax and income tax are paid whether or not the individual participates or uses the facilities of the department. The fair share concept is intended to apportion to non-residents an equalized fee, so that they contribute to the overall financing of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department on an equitable basis with the resident. It is hoped that this policy will give not only equitable treatment, but also a better understanding of fees and overall financing to both residents and non-residents. For more information on verifying resident status, see page 89.

Participants will have an opportunity to gain information about various topics related to caregiving; learn ways to cope with the stresses and strains of being a caregiver; learn about local, regional, and national resources; discover ways to work together to reduce some of the frustrations and barriers faced in caregiving roles; and share common concerns. Caring for You, Caring for Me is a program of the Rosalynn Carter Institute for Caregiving.

HELPFUL SKATING HINTSAlthough our spectator area is heated, you will want to dress warmly when you come ice skating. Please remember your hats and gloves. Long pants or tights are required for participation in group lessons. It is always better to dress in layers so you may take off a layer or two if needed. Selecting the proper skate size is very important. Your skates should be approximately one-half size smaller than your shoe size. You want your skates to be snug, but not so tight that you are uncomfortable. You should be able to wiggle your toes. Lace your skates tightly, starting at the bottom and lacing to the top, not skipping any eyelets. We hope these suggestions will help make your visit a very pleasant one and you will come back to see us again.

Small Group DiscountsGroups of 10 to 12 children/adults are eligible for a group rate during all scheduled public skates. Adults must accompany children (one adult to every five to ten children). All adults accompanying youth must validate residency to receive a resident group rate. Residents of Kettering: $3 (youth) and $3.50 (adults); Non-residents of Kettering: $6.50 (youth) and $7.50 (adults).

Large Group DiscountsShould your group contain 13 or more adults/children, please come to the Kettering Recreation Complex front desk to purchase a group coupon. Adults must accompany children (one adult to every five to ten children). Skates will be paid for separately in the Ice Arena. All adults accompanying youth must validate residency to receive a resident group rate. Residents of Kettering: $3 (youth) and $3.50 (adults); Non-residents of Kettering: $6.50 (youth) and $7.50 (adults).

September is youth Obesity MonthIn the past four decades, obesity rates in the United States have soared among all age groups. The rise in obesity rates has affected our youth in alarming fashion. Childhood obesity has increased more than fourfold among those ages 6 to 11. More than 23 million children and teenagers in the United States, ages 2 to 19, are obese or overweight. This alarming statistic puts nearly one third of America’s children at early risk for type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and even stroke. The good news is that obesity and physical inactivity can be combated.

For this reason, the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department has dedicated specific programming this fall and during the National Youth Obesity Month of September to address these alarming and unfortunate youth obesity trends. In addition to the programming listed below, children ages 8 and up are allowed to workout in our Fitness Centers and children ages 11 and up are allowed to participate in our drop-in group exercise classes.

4. Have patience with your child.

5. The coaches control the athletes—not the parents.

6. Do not argue with or try to undermine the officials/umpires.

7. Parents should consider the coaches' feelings. Remember, our coaches are unpaid volunteers and already have full-time employment.

BMX has something to offer everyone. Races are organized according to age group and skill level so everyone gets the opportunity to compete on an appropriate, fair level.

All riders compete for awards and ABA points. The ABA points system determines a rider’s annual ranking within his/her own district. National and local standings are then published in The BMXer, a magazine that each rider receives monthly.

what is BMx?The sport of bicycle motocross that began in the early 1970’s in southern California. A handful of riders started riding their stingray-type bikes off road in vacant lots and fields. Not much competition, but a lot of fun.

who can race?Races are organized into separate boys and girls classes, age groups from 5 and under to 51 and older, and skill levels (example: novice, intermediate and expert). All riders start as novices and work up to more advanced levels by winning races.

what kind of bike do I need?BMX racing does not require a lot of expensive equipment. Most racers start with their 20-inch street bike by removing the chain guard and kick stand and then putting some inexpensive padding on the frame, handle bar and stem.

what kind of helmet do I need?A helmet, long sleeve shirts, long pants and enclosed shoes are required. The ABA recommends a helmet with face protection as well.

How much does it cost to race?A one-year ABA membership is only $45, which allows you to race on any ABA track nationwide. Each member will also receive The BMXer. Once you have become an ABA member, races, clinics and other competitions will require additional fees based on the event.

The fact sheet may also be downloaded from the City’s website, www.ketteringoh.org. Following the guidelines as described in the fact sheet will ensure that your brush meets our requirements and keeps your workload to a minimum. When your trimming is complete and you have stacked the brush properly, measure the brush pile. Bring the measurements to the Parks Maintenance Center and pay the scheduled fee by Friday at 5 p.m. Chipping will begin the following week.

LEAF COMPOST AND wOOD MULCHLeaf compost and wood mulch are available on a limited basis and are made available to Kettering residents for free! The compost and wood mulch can be used for mulching around trees and shrubbery, foot paths, play areas and to help prevent soil erosion.

The wood mulch is made from various tree-trimming projects and from the material collected at the City’s Yard Debris Center.

You may pick up compost and wood mulch in your truck, trailer or other container at Indian Riffle Park, 2801 E. Stroop Road (behind Tannenberg Kennels). The site is open daylight hours, seven days a week.
