This winter, we’re especially excited to offer ice skating and hockey at Burnham Playfield. Last winter’s ice rink was a hit, so we’re looking forward to offering free ice skating once again with ice skates available to borrow. Find more information about this winter fun below.

Our Twilight Centers have been extremely popular, and are open in seven MPS schools for more free fun. Families can participate in games, open gym, movie nights, and more! Sites will be open Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday evenings in winter. For hours,

This fall Milwaukee Recreation continued its citywide playfield renovation project by breaking ground at the Columbia Playfield in front of dozens of community members, MPS representatives, recreation staffers, and local children who will reap the benefits of the revamped park.

While Milwaukee Recreation held the groundbreaking at Columbia Playfield, the event marked the kickoff for construction at two other playfields - Custer and Southgate - as well. All three playfields will be ready for play by next summer; a fourth park, Burnham Play-field, will be ready by the summer of 2020.

“I kind of feel like I’m in a dream,” Milwau-kee Recreation senior director Lynn Greb said to open Saturday’s event. “This has been a long time coming that we are officially breaking ground on our playfield projects.”

In 2014, Milwaukee Recreation retained a consultant to conduct a review of the existing facilities and provide a roadmap for improve-ments to the playfields spanning a 10-year timeframe. The result was the Milwaukee Out-door Recreation Facilities Master Plan.

The plan rated 65 percent of the facilities as fair to poor, and identified more than $25 million in needed improvements over a 10-year span. However, in lieu of merely assessing the condition of each site, Milwaukee Recreation also analyzed the neighborhood and popula-tion characteristics surrounding each playfield and developed a priority list of projects that emphasized racial and economic equity. “We now have an equitable way to prioritize the renovation projects and truly level the play-ing field in our city,” Greb said.

While each project will be designed to

meet the needs and interests of the sur-rounding community, most of the work will include asphalt removal, installation of shade trees, walking areas, improved playground equipment, and basketball courts. Additional lighting, benches, shade structures, and trash receptacles will also be added to the sites, and several locations will include eco-friendly splash pads.

“We are excited [for] the work that is about to begin here on this renovation project throughout the City of Milwaukee,” MPS super-intendent Dr. Keith P. Posley said. “Milwaukee Public Schools is committed to making sure that all of our recreation facilities and pro-grams... [are] high quality for our students and wonderful residents.” Posley also mentioned the recently renovated Custer Stadium and South Stadium, as well as the soon-to-be-com-pleted Vincent Stadium project, as additional examples of MPS’ investment in athletic and recreation amenities in the city.

Alonzo Miller understands the impact this project will have as much as anyone, as he has now served as the Columbia play leader for two decades. “It’s mindboggling,” Miller said about the plans for Columbia Playfield as he looked over what construction had already taken place beside him at the park. “I can’t wait to see that,” he said, excitedly pointing at the finished model on the banner. Miller is not alone. There is already plenty of excitement for the renovated playfields, and the buzz will only continue to grow as the calendar inches closer to the summer of 2019 for the official unveiling of Milwaukee’s latest gems.

Russell Thomas, Manager of Adults Sports and Interscholastic Athletics & Academics, is retiring after 22 years of service with Mil-waukee Recreation. Russ came to Milwau-kee in 1997 from upstate New York – where he graduated from Springfield College – to join the department. He previously served

as an assistant Recreation Supervisor prior to moving into his managerial role.

Russ has been integral to athletics in Milwaukee Public Schools for over two decades, and he played a leading role in countless accomplishments for the Rec-reation department. When asked which achievements he was most proud of, Russ said, “There are many, but I think the two that stand out were when we hosted the US Youth Games in Milwaukee 2010, and when I founded and organized the Youth Football Fall Classic, which has around for about 15 years.”

Russ also holds membership and affilia-tion with numerous professional and com-munity service organizations, including: Chairman Emeritus of the Southeastern Wisconsin Commissioners Alliance; former President, Wisconsin Conference Commis-sioners Association; Black Coaches Associa-tion; Coach George Karl’s Friends of Hoops; King Holiday Hoopfest Planning Commit-tee, Honorary Chair, Fellowship Open;

Police Athletic League (PAL); Neighbor-hood Children’s Sports League; advisor to the Greater Milwaukee NBA “Hoop it Up” event; 2008 McDonald’s All-American High School Basketball Game’s steering commit-tee; Director of 2009 Converse/Eastbay Mil-waukee Basketball Classic; Sports Manager, 2010 U.S. Youth Games – Milwaukee; and General Manager of the Fresh Coast Bas-ketball Classic.

While he does not have any immedi-ate plans for retirement, Russ hopes to hit the railroads and travel across the country. Eventually, he would like to do some con-sulting and volunteering.

“I’ll miss the people,” Russ said. “Milwau-kee Recreation provides a lot of programs, personal touches, and engagement in the community. We have a great team of talent-ed, energetic, and caring professionals on our Rec team who do a lot of good.”

Congratulations, Russ, and good luck with your future endeavors!

On Wednesday, Oct. 17, the WCS Center for Driver’s License Recovery and Employabil-ity (CDLRE) honored Milwaukee Recreation’s citywide coordinator Annie McGinnity Kubes for her work in leading the MPS Drive pro-gram, the free driver education program for students currently enrolled in an MPS high school.

MPS Drive is one of Milwaukee Recre-ation’s staples for improving equity in the community. When data showed an alarming disparity between the number of Milwaukee 18-year-olds with driver’s license (30 per-cent) compared to their suburban counter-parts (71 percent), the department devel-oped MPS Drive, which is the only program in the nation to offer both free driver educa-

tion and a restorative track for students who have suspended licenses. Since 2016, this program has maintained a 97 percent pass rate on the permit test, while helping nearly 1,000 students obtain licenses.

“We refer to MPS Drive as a game-chang-er,” McGinnity Kubes said. “Not only for our district and the young people we serve, but for our city as a whole. We’re providing a level playing field for our kids to have access to driver education just like their suburban counterparts.”

MPS Drive’s goal is to address three key components: equity, work force readiness, and public safety.

According to the Wisconsin Community Services (WCS) website, the CDLRE “works with low-income Milwaukee County residents to obtain a valid driver’s license by resolv-ing active suspensions and/or revocations against current Wisconsin driver’s licenses, or resolving active suspensions and/or re-vocations against one’s ability to obtain a Wisconsin driver’s license.” The CDLRE part-ners with MPS Drive to help students com-plete the necessary steps towards a driver’s

license on the restorative track.

For a large portion of the 21st century, driver education was no longer taught in schools. “There was an entire generation who went through school and never got a driver’s license,” WCS administrator Nichole Yunk-Todd said prior to presenting the 2018 Champion Award to McGinnity Kubes on Wednesday.

But since its inception just three years ago, MPS Drive has quickly made its mark on high schoolers, families, and everyday drivers across Milwaukee. McGinnity Kubes believes there are even greater strides to be made in the coming years, particularly when it comes to bringing in students who may al-ready have a suspended or revoked license.

“We just developed a partnership with the Milwaukee County Department of Youth and Family Services who are already working with young people who may have suspended driving privileges, so we are really hoping that provides a pipeline for us,” McGinnity Kubes said. “And then we’ll also continue our re-cruitment efforts within MPS high schools as well.”

MPS Drive is a FREE driver education program for students meeting eligibility criteria that are currently enrolled in a MPS high school. The program serves students ready to begin driving as well as those with suspended driving privileges who need assistance with regaining driving eligibility. Students must be 15.5 by the first day of class and not older than 17.5 by the last day of class. The classroom and behind-the-wheel training are free, but a $35.00 fee to cover the cost of the temporary permit is due at the time of registration. Permit tests given during class are in English. Other language options are available at the Department of Motor Vehicle testing sites.

CLASS SCHEDULE: Classes will meet Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays Activity Code: 3UDE3001 (Section codes listed below).

Restorative ProgramThe restorative program is geared towards students between the ages of 15 and 17 years old and who have suspended driving privileges. At no cost, students will be paired with a staff attorney at the Center for Driver’s License Recovery and Employability to navigate the court process. Once driving privileges are restored, students will enroll in a MPS Drive class. To enroll in the Restorative Program, contact Jodie at (414) 647-6044.

SnowshoeingThe hottest thing in winter sports today is snowshoeing. It offers a great cardiovascular work-out for people of every age and fitness level, and it gives you instant access to the forest and the peace provided by nature. It’s a low-impact sport, much simpler and safer than skiing. It’s an activity kids, adults, and even seniors can do. If you can walk, you can snowshoe! Afterwards, you can enjoy either hot chocolate or hot apple cider. At Hawthorn Glen, the trails are lit by our candle lumi-narias for our night hike. For Lapham Peak, located in Delafield, a map will be sent be-fore the class. For vehicles without a valid admission sticker, a $5.00 vehicle sticker is required and will be available for purchase at Lapham Peak. A make-up date for each location will be the following week. Parent/guardian must register, pay and attend with a child. Fee is per person. Class fee is non-refundable and not eligible for reduced fees. Snowshoes are provided for participants and included in the cost.

Guidelines from the American Red Cross. Please read to choose the appropriate swim level for your child(ren).

Level Requirements Course DescriptionThe infant program introduces the child to water in a friendly environment. The program’s focus is exploration and includes songs and games. Parents will gain tips in water safety for their infants.

Lil’ Squirt swim lessons acquaint the child with water through a combination of songs, games and basic water skills such as kicking and floating. Water safety prac-tices will also be included.

Tiny-tots build elementary aquatic skills including independent floating, breath control and rudimentary paddling techniques. Safety skills include “breaking” the over-confident toddler to allow your child to realize what it takes to swim independently in water.

Participants are introduced to elementary swimming skills such as kicking in a variety of ways, floating, and rhythmic breathing. This course serves as an appropriate transition to Level One. Parents will elaborate on safety skills, including swimming with their tot in tow.

In the Lil’ Level 1/2 classes, the same elementary aquatic skills from Level One/Two are taught (see descriptions below.) In addition to meeting minimum 42” height requirement, your youngster should be able to be in class without you for the 45 minute class period. Instructors will advise promotion options based on age & skill.

In Level 1, elementary aquatic skills are taught, which children will build on as they progress through the six Learn-to-Swim levels. In addition to rhythmic breathing and floating, skills include various kicks and arm strokes. At this level, children also start to develop positive attitudes and safe practices around the water. The objective of Level 2 is to give children success with fundamental skills. Children learn: floating without support and recovering to a vertical position, exploring simul-taneous and alternating arm and leg motion to lay the foundations for future strokes. An introduction to deep water is included in this course.

Level 3 builds on the skills learned in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice. Children learn: coordinating the front crawl, elementary backstroke, fundamentals of treading water, rules for head first entries and additional safety skills. Most impor-tantly, children who successfully complete this course will be ready to swim in deep water.

The objective of Level 4 is to develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills. Children learn: improved skills and increased endurance in the familiar strokes (front/back crawl), and are introduced to the ele-mentary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly.

The objective of Level 5 is to coordinate the strokes that were introduced in 4. Students will put together the mechanics for elementary backstroke, breast-stroke, sidestroke and butterfly. Underwater swimming & surface dives will also be included.

Level 6 refines all 6 strokes. Children learn: advanced techniques in all strokes (front/back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, sidestroke) and will increase their distance endurance. Flip turns at the wall and improved diving skills will provide the student with the essentials to pursue swimming as a sport.

The objective of Level 7 is to fine-tune swimming strokes to allow students to swim with efficiency and power. Four distinct Level 7 modules allow swimmers to broaden their aquatics skills into 4 different areas. Module options include: Personal Water Safety (7PWS), Fundamentals of Diving (7D), Fitness Swimmer (7FS), and Lifeguard Readiness (7LR). Please check the listing to determine which modules are offered this season.

GENERAL SWIM INFORMATIONWhat to Bring: Swimsuit, towel, and swim cap. Please report 10 minutes before class starts. Swim caps must be worn by all individuals entering the pool (exception made for infants, Lil’ Squirt and shallow water exercisers who do not submerge head). Swim caps may be purchased at pools for $2.

Height Requirements listed for children Ages 6-14:Students must meet the minimum height of 48” for each pool (42” at Bay View) Children not able to stand in the shallow end of the pool should be enrolled in a Tiny-Tot or Advanced Tiny-Tot class where a parent/guardian must accompany the child in the water. 4-6 year olds may enroll in a Little Level One or Two class and enjoy use of a 6 inch booster step & thus be at least 42 inches tall to safely participate.

Water Temperature: Normal water temperature is 77–81°. The only exceptions are Gaenslen (84 - 88°F) and Milwaukee Marshall (82 – 86°F)

Locker Rooms: Participants may bring a padlock for lockers. All items must be removed after each class. Children of the opposite sex, five years of age or under may accompany a parent in the locker room. Children ages six and above are expected to use designated locker rooms — males in the boys’ and females in the girls’.

Parents Day (Ages 6-14): Parents of children enrolled in Levels 1-7 of the Learn to Swim program are invited to observe classes on the first, middle, and last day of class.

Pre-Testing: A pre-test is given to swimmers in levels 2-7 on the first day of class to ensure that the swimmer is in the appropriate level. Instructors reserve the right to recommend alternate classes for those students unable to complete pre-tests.

Testing: Testing of swim skills in levels 1-7 generally occurs during the second to last lesson and final lesson. Certificates will be issued on the last day indicating appropriate swim level to enroll in next.

Infant, Lil’ Squirt & Tiny-Tot Requirements (ages 0 -3): “Little swimmers” swim diapers are required regardless of child’s progress in potty training as warm water immersion is proven to stimulate urination in young children.

Parent Attendance: Parents must accompany their children in the water for all Infant, Lil’ Squirt, Tiny-Tot, and Adv. Tiny-Tot classes. If a family has more than one child enrolled in the same class the second child must be accompanied by a responsible person 16 years of age or older.

Make-up Policy: The Recreation Department works diligently to ensure that our pools stay in working operation to offer consistency of programs. In the event that more than 1 class is cancelled due to circumstances we cannot control, we will work to make-up the missed class at a later date.

There is a ground of cotton tabby, over which a layer of wool weft is wrapped around pairs of warp threads, creating a vertically ridged ground.

This tech-nique can be used to create both traditional designs similar to the original or a unique canvas for creating contemporary designs. A two harness or tapestry loom can be utilized, with a supplemental group of heddles to cre-ate the ridges. A small four harness table loom can also be used.

Financial EmpowermentSo many individuals and families are suffer-ing from financial devastation lack of infor-mation and financial empowerment are the root cause. There are many reasons for such insufficiency such as, not having any life in-surance and/or other insurance coverages. The absence of insurance forces people to pay for losses out of pocket and forces them to rely on family, friends or funding programs for donations. In addition, individuals and families lack knowledge concerning bank and credit union accounts and FDIC regulations. Many individuals are unaware of the benefits to establishing bank accounts. Not having a checking or savings account forces people to pay a substantial amount in fees to cash checks. Another concern is credit worthi-ness. At this time, credit scores are at an all-time low and the pursuit of high interest rate loans are at an all-time high in the Greater Milwaukee Community. There is definitely a need for financial empowerment workshops. Each workshop will cover a different topic.
