“And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees,

just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning

over again with the summer.” ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald, “The Great Gatsby”

Wow! That’s the 1st word that popped into my head when I started putting on paper the Department projects in 2015. It will be an exciting year for our community!

Construction will soon start on the 3 community-approved facility proj-ects…pool, auditorium and community center! Basic plans and 3-D viewings are available to look at in the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department office @ Village Hall. The rough completion dates will be late spring-early summer of 2016.

Ashwaubenon High School’s 50th Anniversary Celebration will combine with our Family Fun-athalon on Saturday August 15th for a day-long special-event wing-ding @ Ashwaubomay Park! Several of the area’s top live bands (Nashville Pipeline, The Cougars, and Big Mouth) will perform while community groups sell concessions and drinks from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m. Free swimming @ the Lake for all residents. Inflatables, carni-val games, entertainers and more surprises are in store! SAVE THE DATE!

The “Ashwaubenon Pickleball Courts” dedication will be held on July 21st @ Fort Howard Park! Six new “dedicated courts” will be available for you to use. Free demonstrations for those wanting to see what the excitement is about!

The Ashwaubenon Cricket Field dedication will happen on August 1st @ the Ashwaubenon Sports Complex. The Green Bay Cricket Club will put on a cricket demonstration and offer free lessons to the community. As Jerry Seinfeld says, …”THAT is a wicked googly!”

The Village will offer its first DAY CAMP for youth ages 7-12 @ Valley View School. Ten weeks of fully supervised summer fun is in store that involves weekly themes, trips and activities! Day Camp hours are 7a – 6p. Families can sign up for the summer or by the individual week. And….our always popular summer playground program will still serve individual neighborhoods!

With community center construction looming @ Klipstine Park, the Ashwaube-non Summer Concert series will move to PIONEER PARK for the 2015 season.

TRAIL SYSTEM CONNECTED

We are happy to announce that several well-used trails in the southern portion of our Village are now connected, allowing for safe recreation and exercise opportunities for both residents and our Village workforce!

The newly completed “Sand Acres Drive Trail” (Grant Street to Main) connects to the Industrial Park Trail, as well as the Main Street Trail @ the corner of Main Street and Commodity.

There will be several picnic tables, a map-board, bike racks and a drinking fountain installed at this trailhead for the convenience of area users. A small parking lot already in place will serve as the drop-off point for those wishing to explore new areas of the Village.

These great trailhead amenities were made possible by a DNR “Recreational Trail” grant. For further information, call our Department!

STRESS RELIEF THROUGH MEDITATIONTai Chi, often referred to as meditation in motion, is a series of slow, continuous relaxed movements done with care and attention. Movements are without strain and provide exercise and toning for every part of the body. Movements involve both sides of the body and improve balance development of the body. In addition, it has relaxing effects on psychological tensions (stress) and improves concentration. Rather than a chore, it is a pleasurable experience and is easily done as a daily exercise. People of all ages can learn Tai Chi. It requires little space and no special materials.

The focus of this program is to provide structured fitness

swimming workouts. These workouts differ from a traditional open lap swim in that on-deck, experienced coaching is provided that includes stroke refinement and set design. The coach will adapt the workout to your goals, while providing a fun, yet challenging group swimming workout. This class is perfect for those that want to cross-train for fitness, improve their swimming ability, or train for a triathlon or other swimming competitions. Workouts are held twice a week. Participants should be able to swim freestyle (front crawl) for a minimum of 100 yards.

The masters swimming program is over seen by Brian McWilliams and his staff from McWilliams Training, LLC. Brian is a Level 2 United States Triathlon Coach. He is also a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist and Licensed Athletic Trainer who was recently a member of the USA medical staff for the 2014, 2010 & 2006 Winter Olympics.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOWCHANGING ROOM POLICY. Children 5 and older are asked to use appropriate changing rooms.

PARENT WATCH POLICY: Parents are welcome to watch, but with your child’s interest in mind, we ask that you keep interaction with your child to a minimum. Our instructors have found that the quality of instruction has often been affected by parents and/or sibling distraction, interruptions and various other concerns during class time. We also feel it is most beneficial for children to have recreational time with their peers. Our instructors always welcome the opportunity to discuss participant’s progress with parents. Please contact your instructor before or after class with any special concerns.

REFUND POLICY. If a participant cancels a registration, $5 will be charged for processing with the balance of the activity fee being refunded. Cancellations may occur up to two days before an activity unless there is a registration deadline. NO REFUNDS will be given after an activity has started.

POOL TEMPERATURE: The pool is heated at a constant 80 degrees F.

LOCKER FACILITIES: The pool offers storage for your belongings while using the pool. There are coin-operated lockers available which require a quarter. ($.25)

GOGGLES: For levels 1-3 we do not recommend goggles because children need to learn to be comfortable in the water without any aids. However, with the upper level classes, goggles are recommended as students are expected to spend significant amount of time doing a variety of skills with their faces in the water. Goggles will help to reduce eye irritation. Please note: Mask type goggles with the nose piece attached are strictly prohibited.

TREE/BENCH DONATION PROGRAMThe Village of Ashwaubenon Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department offers a dignified Tree and Park Bench Donation Program. This program will provide individuals, families and organizations a way to remember a loved one, honor someone special or recognize a special achievement.

A selection of six different species are offered to allow participants to choose a tree with traits to suit their individual tastes. To ensure optimal growth, trees will be planted by Village Staff at the appropriate time of year (typically May and October as weather permits). Tree donors will also be recognized on our donor plaque which is displayed at the Village Hall.

The bench style is a six foot long, steel Du Mor bench and can be ordered in a green or black polyester powder finish. The bench also comes with a 2” X 10” plaque that is set into the bench to create a personalized message commemorating the donation. Benches will be installed in summer or fall on a concrete slab in a mutually agreeable location.

If you would like to further discuss specific details of the program, a Parks, Recreation and Forestry staff member will be happy to meet with you to answer any questions. Please contact the Department Office at 492-2331 to discuss options.

STREET TREESAVAILABLE TO RESIDENTS

The Neighborhood Street Tree Planting Program will once again be offered in the fall of 2015. The planting program

is a partnership between the Village and its residents to promote the benefits of tree-lined streets. The resident

pays for the tree while planting and maintenance will be the Village’s responsibility.

A selection of suitable trees will be sent to interested residents with an order form in

early fall and planting will be done in late October or early November.

Interested residents are asked to call the Village Forester before September 1, 2015 to be included in the program.

RESIDENTS ASKED TO HELP PREVENT SPREAD OF OAK WILTTo minimize the potential for an oak wilt infection, the Village of Ashwaubenon has adopted an ordinance to PROHIBIT THE PRUNING OR WOUNDING OF OAKS FROM APRIL 1st TO jULY 15th. This policy applies to public as well as private trees. Contact the Village Forester for additional information.

Brown County is under State and Federal quarantines that restrict the movement of firewood and other wood products originating within Brown County.

Don’t risk starting a new infestation of an invasive insect or disease… Harvest or buy firewood where you’ll burn it! Other things to keep in mind:- Don’t take firewood with you on your camping trip, up

to your hunting camp or bring firewood back from your cottage ‘up north’ to your house.

- If you already moved firewood, and you need to dispose of it, burn it quickly and completely. Make sure to rake the storage area carefully and burn the debris also.

For additional quarantine information check out the following website: www.datcpservices.wisconsin.gov/eab/index.jsp

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES OFFERED

The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department currently has several volunteer based programs designed for citizen’s to take an active role in making Ashwaubenon a better place to live.

ADOPT A GARDEN

Volunteers plant the gardens beneath the park signs with the design and flowers of their preference. Adoptees are asked to plant, weed and maintain the beds throughout the growing season with Village Staff providing watering and fertilization.

ADOPT A PARKInvolves picking up litter from your selected park a minimum of three times per year. Trash bags, safety information and bag pick-up afterwards can be provided by Village Staff. Each group’s efforts will be recognized with a sign to thank the organization or family for helping keep “their” park looking good.

*** Parks currently available for adoption in 2015 include: Ashwaubomay, Bill Diamond Fields, Cormier, Klipstine, Lois Aubinger, Valley View and Waterford in addition to many trailways located throughout the community.

PICK A PARKIs your group or organization looking for a way to get involved in and give back to the community? Searching for a service project to participate in National Volunteer Week being celebrated from April 12-18 in 2015.

The Village of Ashwaubenon’s Pick A Park program is designed for groups or organizations interested in organizing a single day service project. Any of the Village’s parks are available for this exciting program whether or not they are already adopted through our Adopt A Park program.

If you are interested in becoming involved in any of these programs, please contact the Village Forester at the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department for assistance.

STREET TREE PRUNING PROGRAM

The Village of Ashwaubenon Parks, Recreation and Forestry De-partment is charged with maintaining over 8000 publically owned trees that line Village streets and grace our numerous parks. A sys-tematic pruning program is used to provide regular, routine main-tenance to ensure these trees remain safe and continue to make Ashwaubenon a great place to live. Using current resources and man-power, it presently takes 10 years to get through the entire community and prune every tree. Each tree is pruned to current industry standards with special consideration for the following:

- prune broken or damaged limbs- raise the crown and provide clearance for vehicles (15’

at the curb), pedestrians (10’ over the sidewalk or yard), signs and streetlights

- remove any large deadwood and crossing branches- lightly thin to allow for light penetration and air circulation

The Village of Ashwaubenon held a very special tree planting cele-bration last year at Klipstine Park. 20 Urban Forestry students from Mid-State Technical College (MSTC) assisted Village staff to re-place the existing ash and planted an additional 20 new trees at the Park. A variety of trees were provided by the Packer’s Green Team “First Down for Trees” project to help increase the species diversity within Ashwaubenon’s urban forest. With the recent discovery of Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) in Brown County, the Village’s goal is to reduce our ash numbers by initiating pre-emptive removal and replacement of existing, healthy ash trees.

Arborists from Selner Tree and Shrub Care of Ashwaubenon gener-ously donated their services to remove existing ash trees to pre-pare the sites for replanting by MSTC students.

The Green Bay Packers Green Team and Wisconsin Public Ser-vice initiated First Downs for Trees as a joint effort with Brown County communities, the WI-DNR and the US Forest Service to promote the planting of trees. Last year SCA and Green Bay Pack-aging joined the project by providing additional funding to the program.

The Village of Ashwaubenon Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department thanks our generous partners to make this project a HUGE success!!!

VILLAGE CELEBRATES ARBOR DAY

EAB INFORMATION AVAILABLETo prepare for Emerald Ash Borer’s arrival, the Village created an Emerald Ash Borer Readiness plan to guide the Village’s management of this pest. A digital copy is available on the Village’s website at www.ashwaubenon.com for viewing… click on Departments > Parks, Recreation and Forestry > Forestry > Emerald Ash Borer to view this and other important information about emerald ash borer.

Trees Reduce Stormwater Runoff and Improve Water Quality

Trees reduce peak stormwater runoff and associated pollutants entering local water bodies. Trees reduce stormwater volumes by intercepting a portion of rainfall, which evaporates and never reaches the ground. Tree roots also increase rainfall infiltration and storage in the soil. And tree canopies reduce soil erosion by diminishing the impact of raindrops on barren surfaces.

StreettreesinAshwaubenonintercept5,303,908gallonsofwaterannuallyforasavingsof$143,746.

Trees Reduce Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide

Trees reduce atmospheric carbon by capturing and storing CO2 as they grow. By reducing demand for heating and cooling, trees indirectly reduce CO2 by avoiding power plant emissions associated with energy production.

Trees Improve Air Quality

Trees improve air quality by trapping particulates, absorbing gaseous pollutants, and releasing oxygen. By cooling urban heat islands and shading parked cars, trees indirectly reduce ozone levels. The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes tree planting as an ozone reduction measure in state implementation plans.

Trees Save Energy

Trees reduce the demand for energy to heat and cool buildings by providing shade, lowering summertime temperatures, and reducing windspeeds. Secondary benefits are reduced water consumption and pollutants emissions by local power plants.

Trees Improve Property Values and Beautify Our Communities

Trees are the single strongest positive influence on scenic quality in our community! They increase the attractiveness of retail business areas. Studies found shoppers are willing to pay up to 11% more for goods and services in a well-landscaped business district. Trees increase property values. People will pay 3-7% more for properties with many trees. Trees foster safer and more sociable neighborhoods. Views of trees ease mental fatigue and stress, help concentration, reduce sickness, and provide settings for recreation and relaxation. Trees also help reduce noise, provide a refuge for wildlife, and help connect residents with their natural environment.

Diversity Improves Urban Forest Resilience

A diverse palette of trees helps guard against catastrophic loss to insects and diseases or environmental stresses. A general guideline for urban forest diversity is no more than 5% of any one species, 10% of any one genus.

Village Services – Engineering

With the creation of the Storm Water Utility in 2012, all developed par-cels in the Village have

received a storm water usage charge (a line item included on the Water & Sewer Utility invoice or a separate Storm Water Utility invoice) based on the amount of impervious surface that parcel has. Impervious surfaces are those that prevent water from infiltrat-ing into the ground, such as rooftops, driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks. The amount of impervious surface was determined from the 2010 Aerial Photos completed for Brown County (available on the Village Website through “Access Ashwaubenon”). The 2014 aerial pho-tos will be used to update the impervi-ous surface calculations in 2015

A typical residential lot has 3,316 square feet of impervious surface which is the basis for the annual rate of $50 per equivalent runoff unit (ERU). 1 ERU is the same as 1 Usage charge on the Util-ity invoice. The Village has calculated each parcel’s ERU/Usage. A parcel with 3,316 square feet of impervious surface will see a $12.50 storm water charge on their quarterly water bill. If a parcel has less than the average amount of imper-vious surface, the Usage charge will be less. Larger parcels will have multiple ERU/Usage charges.

Storm Water Utility funds are being used to meet mandates by the Wiscon-sin Department of Natural Resources to ensure Waters of the State are kept clean. Through the Wisconsin Pollu-tion Discharge and Elimination System (WPDES) permitting process, the Vil-lage must continually stay in compli-ance with the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System Discharge Permit issued to the Village in 2006 and reviewed in 2014.

A Utility also includes all tax-exempt parcels in with this effort so that all

generators of storm water runoff are working together on storm water man-agement.

Projects being funded by the Storm Wa-ter Utility in 2015 include a storm water pond near the Holmgren Way/Van Der Perren Way intersection, runoff convey-ance measurements in floodplain areas, system maintenance (i.e. existing pond dredging, storm sewer replacement and cleaning) street sweeping, yard waste management, and overall system man-agement planning.

STORM WATER UTILITY

If you have any questions regarding the Storm Water Utility or your storm water charge, please contact the Vil-lage Engineer, Steve Birr, in the Public Works Department at (920) 492-2308.
