Welcome to our 2017 Winter/Spring Recreation Activity Guide!
Find Your Fun this session by participating in one or more of our
recreation programs, classes, trips or leagues. Our department is
proud to offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities any age
is sure to enjoy. Let us help you get through these long winter
months by staying active in both mind and body.
New Berlin residents over the age of 60 can find fun with our
Senior Citizen’s Club that meets on Monday’s and Wednesday’s
throughout the winter. The seniors meet at the New Berlin Community Center which also offers rental opportunities for small
groups to discuss work or larger events for family celebrations.
If you enjoy the arts, be sure to check out our Winter Broadway
Series offering coach bus trips and tickets to see shows at the
Marcus Center PAC. Our upcoming events feature Chicago and
Cinderella which are sure to be a hit! If you are looking to express
your creativity hands-on, try Stamping, Photography or Guitar
Lessons. Don’t forget about our always popular Cooking Classes
with chef Staci Joers in which you will taste and learn fun and
creative new menu ideas to enjoy.
Would you rather get up and moving this winter? Get some fun in
with any one or more of the fitness classes we are offering. Zumba,
Yoga and Pilates are great ways to meet your fitness goals while
having some fun. Youth and adult dance classes are also great
ways to express yourself and can offer opportunities to meet new
people who share the same passion. Our Youth Dance, Baton and
SNAP Poms classes are especially fun this session as the sessions
culminate in a Dance Recital held at the New Berlin West PAC each
spring.
Young participants have the opportunity to learn new skills while
having fun too! Swim classes, Mini Sports, Golf Lessons, Rock

American Red Cross “Learn to Swim” Program
Class Structure
American Red Cross certified Water Safety Instructors teach
swimming skills along with Lifeguards in the water as Swim
Aides. Courses are divided into four levels. Swimmers must
start at Level 1 and pass each level Beginners (B) and Advanced (A) before registering for the next level. Participants
will be given a progress report at the conclusion of each
session listing the skills they have completed. Children
often need to repeat certain levels before advancing on to
the next level.
Special Spring Swim Registration
Procedure
You may only register for one session of Youth Swim at a
time. All Youth winter swim participants (including
Tots and Juniors) must wait until Wednesday, March 1
to register for the Spring Session. Evaluations will be
distributed to the students on the last day of class. If you
are not registering for winter swim, you may register
for the Spring Session now.
Prerequisites:
We have added prerequisites to our computer registration
program to assure that everyone is in the correct swimming level. This will help ensure that the swim classes
move smoothly for everyone.
New to our Program?
If you are new to our program and are starting in one of the
level programs above 1B, you will need to register in-person or by mail, as the on-line registration software will not
recognize that you have successfully completed the
prerequisites for the program.
Parent Observation and
Expectation
To create the best possible learning environment, spectators will only be allowed in the pool area for a few minutes on the first day of class and for the entire class on
the last day of lessons. On the first day, parents will be
excused after roll call and the introductory speech. Depending on the parent’s comfort level, it is not necessary to
come in the pool area on the first day of class.
Throughout the session, parents/guardians are encouraged
to speak with their child’s instructor before or after class
to check on the progress of their child.
Pool Temperature
Requests have been made by swim participants for varying
swim water temperatures. Due to limited capabilities of
pool equipment controlling these temperatures, the high
school maintenance department is making every effort to
maintain a temperature of 81°.
Ist Day of Class
All students should report to the locker room where they
should dress, shower and wait for the Locker Room Attendant to explain procedures.

Emerald Ash Borer
In Our Community and In Our Yard
Emerald ash Borer is here and is causing the death of
many ash trees in our community. If you haven’t been
treating your trees with an insecticide to prevent infestation, there is a great likelihood that your tree has to
some extent been infested. This is the most difficult aspect to dealing with this exotic invasive pest; we don’t
know it is present in our trees until it is too late. If you
think that the EAB may be in your tree, assume that it is
and take some steps to manage how to best deal with
it. As of right now, it is too late to begin treatment for
many trees because the damage to the area under the
bark where the insect feeds has advanced to a point
that the chemicals no longer work. Some remaining
options are limited to making the decision to remove or
let nature take its course and leave a dead tree stand.
Removal is the only option to prevent damage to life or
property in most residential and commercial settings
and it is best to get these trees taken down before they
become dangerous. Make plans now before it costs you
more money later, or worse, risk possible injury or property damage from failing trees.
smaller wood to a size that destroys the life cycle of the
insect. The heat created in composting also kills the ash
borers. Second, the wood from ash trees is great for
burning in your fireplace or backyard fire ring. Please
be a good neighbor to our surrounding communities
and elsewhere by NOT moving the firewood out of New
Berlin. We don’t want our problem to become an issue
for another community any sooner than it would
spread naturally.
The loss of our canopy due to this invasive species has
an effect on our ecology with greater storm water loading, higher heat build-up in open areas and the loss of
the beauty of these trees. Please plan on replanting
when an ash tree has been removed. Tree species diversity helps when a new disease or invasive species
comes along. With proper replacement, we hope to
have a net zero loss of canopy after this disaster passes.
For more information on EAB and alternatives to ash
trees, go to the Forestry Page on the City Website or call
the office at (262) 797-2467.
One of the questions we often receive is how to deal
with the wood and debris from infected ash trees. First,
the City Recycle Center DOES take wood, brush and
stump grindings from City resident’s ash trees. The
wood processor at our facility grinds the brush and

Using Bread in
Everyday Cooking
Bread is a pretty fantastic food. It’s the backbone of any sandwich,
and is often used to accompany meals when entertaining. It’s incredibly versatile, which means if you have a lot of it left over, you
can use it in ways you’ve probably never thought to before. From
soups to soufflés, you won’t have any reason to toss that extra
loaf with these ideas…

Forrest Gump is a 1986 novel by Winston Groom. The title character retells adventures ranging from shrimp boating and ping
pong championships, to thinking about his childhood love, as he
bumbles his way through American history, with everything from
the Vietnam War to college football becoming part of the story.
Released as a movie in 1994 starring Tom Hanks. “Anyway, like I
was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil
it, broil it, bake it, saute it. There’s shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole,
shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple
shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp
soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp
burger, shrimp sandwich. That, that’s about it.” – Bubba

Asparagus is a harbinger of spring but is now available nearly

had to describe it, I would say that it tastes slightly like broccoli
and celery with a little artichoke-y flavor, too. Asparagus is actually the sweet, tender, early shoot of a plant in the lily family.
Tonight I will make several recipes featuring asparagus that will
“wow” family and friends. You’ll sample…

Pilates/Body Ball
(Adults 18+)
Pilates is a combination of physiotherapy and exercise which
creates balance through movement, body awareness and
breath. The primary focus of Pilates is the ‘powerhouse’ or
‘core of the body’. The strength of the core is what enables us
to distribute strength evenly throughout the body so it can
work as a pain-free and strong unit. Results of this class are
strong, lean muscles. The body ball portion features strong,
slow movement with an emphasis on precise body control.
This program sculpts your entire body with a blend of isometric and muscle stabilization exercises. The ingenious use of
hand-held weights will give you the opportunity to
strengthen your body from the ‘inside out’. Your muscles will
love this cushioned, no impact form of exercise! Bring a mat,
towel and water bottle.

Zumba Gold
(Adults 50+)
The Zumba® Gold Fitness program is second to
none. It is an innovative, fun, and exciting program. It was designed for the active older adult,
the true beginner, and/or people who are not
used to exercising, or people who may be limited
physically. The main difference between Zumba
Gold and Zumba Basic is Zumba Gold is done at a lower intensity, not as fast, but it certainly is as fun. The same great Latin
styles of music and dance are used. This amazing program is
very easy to follow so anyone at any age will be able to do
Zumba Gold. Dances that are specifically highlighted in this
program include the Merengue, Salsa, Cha Cha, Cumbia, Rock &
Roll (including Twist and Charleston), Belly Dance, Flamenco,
and Tango.

Dogs in Parks
Several citizens have recently expressed concern about dogs
not being on a leash and concerns about citizens not removing dog waste while walking their dogs in park areas. Dogs
are welcome in the parks as long as the handler has the
animal on a leash (less than 6 ft. in length) and properly cleans
up after the animal. The citation for violation of ordinance
184-14(B) Dogs not on leash is $111.40 and the citation
for violation of ordinance 152-10(I) Dog waste not removed is $130.30. These ordinances will be enforced by
the New Berlin Police Department. However, during softball
and soccer seasons, the Recreation Department has experienced some problems with dogs in the parks mixing with
sports participants and spectators. With public safety in
mind, the Parks, Buildings and Grounds Commission
decided to not allow dogs in the spectator areas and on
the athletic fields. Signs will be posted in the parks. If you
have any questions or concerns, please contact the Parks
Department at (262) 797-2471.
