From the DIrector’S DeSk …THE SPRING*

Now that the winter’s gone, the earth hath lostHer snow-white robes; and now no more the frost

Candies the grass, or casts an icy creamUpon the silver lake or crystal stream…

…But the warm sun thaws the benumbed earth,And makes it tender; gives a sacred birth

Now do a choir of chirping minstrels bring,In triumph to the world, the youthful spring!

Spring is almost here, and we have plenty of exciting things blooming for Ashwaubenon residents offered by our Department. News and tidbits include:• We welcome a new department secretary…Sue Anderson!• On-line registration for classes! A new computer program for our

Department means easier registration for you! At the time of this writing, we are hoping to have on-line registration unveiled for you in May… You can register from the comfort of home, or even from your smart phone or tablet! More information on the process can be found on page 11.

• Bittersweet news for our Department. …Congratulations to Program Supervisor Maria Andersen on the birth of a baby girl in January! With the newest addition to her family on board, Maria has decided to devote attention to her family full-time. Her nearly 7 years with our Department has brought many new program ideas and positive changes. Maria….you will be missed!

• A huge “THANK YOU” to interim program supervisor Maggie Bultman, who has been handling all of the Program Supervisor responsibilities.

• We will be starting to do upgrades to several of our park facilities this summer to increase accessibility and comply with new standards in the “Americans With Disabilities Act”. These facility upgrades will take place over the next 3+ years. They involve accessible pathways and viewing areas to amenities to our inventory…such as soccer fields, picnic shelters and playgrounds.

• You will see playground improvements to Skyline Park, and repairs to field lighting @ Ed Krcmar Field in Klipstine Park.

• The Ashwaubenon Girls Softball Association has built new block dugouts @ Phil Adam Field in Pioneer Park, replacing wood dugouts which were rotting. Congratulations to the organization for funding and completing a great looking project which will be used by generations of Ashwaubenon youth.

• Staff will be in discussions with at least one prominent community organization to upgrade and refurbish the Chief Ashwaubomay Memorial at Ashwaubomay Park. The site is that of our Village’s namesake and needs a major facelift.

As always, thank you to all of you who are supporters and volunteers for our Department. If there are ever any concerns, ideas or issues you want to discuss, please call our Department @ 492-2331. I hope everyone has a great summer!*Excerpts from “The Spring” by Thomas Carew

– both when you are in the house and when you are away. Make sure that they are working properly, strong and not easily broken.

• Make a list and take photographs of your expensive belongings. Store these papers in a safe place. Check with your local police department about marking these items with distinguishing marks for identification.

• Don’t keep large amounts of money in the house.

• Don’t open your door before you know who’s there. You do NOT have to open the door if you feel uneasy. Ask any stranger for proof of identity before opening the door. If you are unsure or feel nervous, call the police department. They will send an officer to verify the identify of the person at the door.

• Get to know your neighbors. Join or start a Neighborhood Watch Program.

• A good alarm system can help keep you and your property safe.

ATHLETIC TRAINING - HOUSE OF SPEED GREEN BAY

New Department Registration System is coming!The Ashwaubenon Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department will be unveiling a new computer system this spring. This new system will allow program participants the ability to register on-line, as well as allowing submittal of facility rental requests on-line. You will even be able to register for programs through your smartphone!

To use the online registration (you are still welcome to register @ our counter…we like to see you ), you will need to create a family “account”. Once the account is created, and we have verified information is correct, you will be emailed a family “user name & password”. You can then simply log in with that user name & password, and then register for any program in

the current offerings. The user name and password will be used for all of your future registrations, though you can change the password to something that is more memorable for you.

On-line registration is expected to be “live” by May. If you need to register earlier for any program, you are encouraged and welcome to do so, by the standard mail or walk-in method.

We would like to thank you in advance for your patience while we iron out any bugs in the system. Once up and operating, this will be a great time-saver for all involved! As always, please call our Department @ 492-2331 if you have ANY questions regarding the new registration system, programs or offerings!

THE GREAT ASHWAUBOMAY PARK CLEAN-UP PROJECT

The second annual community work day at Ashwaubomay Park is scheduled for June 23, 2012. We are seeking community members, park users, service organizations and scouting groups (ages 8 and up) to help improve Ashwaubomay Park for all visitors. Last year volunteers cleared buckthorn and honeysuckle from a 100 yard stretch of the shoreline along the Fox River.

Please bring your hand pruners, pole saws, and loppers (no power tools please) to help remove these invasive species and other brush that have taken over the Fox River riverfront. Our work day will begin at 9:00 a.m. and run until 11:30 a.m. when we will have a BBQ hot dog lunch awaiting beneath a picnic shelter.

PHRAGMITES MANAGEMENT UNDERWAYIn 2010, the Department began a program at Ashwaubomay Park to manage the tall, invasive phragmites grass along the shorelines of the Fox River. Phragmites is an invasive aquatic species that has taken over most of the wetland areas of the Fox River and the Bay of Green Bay. For the second year, Village crews cut 1 ½ acres of phragmites along the shoreline and returned to do an herbicide application in early fall to kill the re-growth down to the rhizomes (roots). This treatment will likely need to be done for a few years before the phragmites is under control. The treatment goal is to improve the aesthetics of the park and allow native species to re-establish without being smothered by the aggressive phragmites grass. Over time, we will reclaim the beautiful views our park once had of the Fox River.

Interested in helping… GREAT!!!!! It is recommended that work gloves, long sleeve t-shirts and long pants be worn for safety purposes. For this project to be successful we need your help… your volunteer efforts will immediately improve the aesthetics of Ashwaubomay Park for all to see! Give us a call at 492-2331 to get on the volunteer list.

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 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 82° - 83°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 is pleased to introduce a new 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 2012. 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, 2012 to be included in the program.

5th grade students from Valley View elementary School plant a tree in conjunction with the Packers First Down for Trees Program at Valley View Park with Village Staff to celebrate Arbor Day.

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.

VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT FOR FOX RIVER LITTER CLEAN-UP

The Department has completed numerous projects at Ashwaubomay in recent years to ensure this park remains the crowned jewel of our community. Now that the shoreline is visible once again, a significant amount of trash, garbage and other debris is noticeable along the shoreline of the Fox River. The Department is seeking an organization (or individuals) interested to help get Ashwaubomay Park ready for

another exciting summer of events and activities. If you or an organization you belong to might be

interested in carrying out this service project, please contact Tim at the Department office for additional details and information.

One of the most common questions we receive about proper tree care is regarding the painting of pruning cuts. In MOST instances, wound dressings are unnecessary and

will not stop decay or cure infectious diseases. They may actually interfere with the protective benefits of tree gums and resins, and prevent wound surfaces from closing as quickly as they might under natural conditions. When pruning cuts are left untreated, they are able to dry out and, similar to wood used in construction, dry wood is much less likely to invite pathogens and decay.

The exceptions to using wound dressings is to prevent introduction of pathogens in the specific cases of Dutch elm disease and oak wilt. When oaks or elms are wounded during a critical time of year (usually spring for oaks or throughout the

growing season for elms) -- either from storms, unforeseen mechanical wounds, or from necessary branch removals -- some type of wound dressing should be applied to

the wound immediately after it is created.

YEAR 1: The topped tree is an ugly stub. The pruned tree’s size was reduced, but it’s form and beauty retained.

YEAR 3: Fast growing sprouts have sprung from the topped tree in large numbers. The pruned tree adds growth more slowly and naturally.

YEAR 6: The topped tree is taller and bushier than ever. The properly pruned tree is safer, more beautiful and its size is better controlled.

TREE TOPPING VS. TREE PRUNINGCommon Myths dispelled...

Tree topping should never be confused with proper pruning. A topped tree is easy to spot - the tree’s natural shape has been destroyed, while a properly pruned tree often looks like no work has been done at all. With proper pruning, an arborist will spend time carefully selecting and removing branches. Careful selective pruning retains the tree’s natural shape and beauty.

TREE TOPPING MYTHSPeople top trees for many reasons, all of them connected in falsehoods and misconceptions.

MYTH #1: TOPPING A TREE WILL REDUCE STORM DAMAGE AND MAKE THE TREE EASIER TO MAINTAIN.TRUTH: Topped trees can regain their original height in as fast as 2-5 years. The fast growing, extremely long and loosely attached shoots caused by topping are more susceptible to breakage and storm damage. Ultimately, a topped tree requires more attention in the future than a properly pruned tree (see diagram below).

MYTH #2: TOPPING INVIGORATES A TREETRUTH: Topping immediately injures a tree and starts it on a downward spiral. Topping wounds expose the tree to decay and invasion from insects and disease. Also, the loss of foliage starves the tree, which weakens the roots, reducing the tree’s structural strength. While a tree may survive topping, its lifespan will be significantly reduced.

MYTH #3: TOPPED TREES WILL ADD VALUE TO YOUR PROPERTY.TRUTH: Topped trees lack natural beauty and may reduce your property values. Also, a topped tree can become hazardous and cause property damage, making it a liability.

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.

** Park Gardens currently available for adoption in 2012 include: Ashwaubomay, Community Center, Gillis, Lois Aubinger, Morris, and Valley View.

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 2012 include: Ashwaubenon Sports Complex, Ashwaubomay, Bill Diamond Fields, Cormier, Morris and Waterford.

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 15-21?

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. The Ashwaubenon Sports Complex along with Klipstine, Pioneer, and Ashwaubomay Parks are four larger sites that are suitable for bigger groups and generally in need of additional assistance.

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.

Firewood Quarantine Underway!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… Harvestor 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.

- Wood that looks clean and healthy can still have tiny insect eggs, or microscopic fungi spores. Always leave it at home, even if you think the firewood looks fine.

- Aged or seasoned wood is still not safe.

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

Over 300 Prevea Health volunteers assisted with clean-up efforts in Ashwaubomay Park last September. A huge THANk You to Prevea Health!

Black walnut is a prized tree species that is commonly utilized for its beautiful, dark grained wood. Highly sought after by craftsman for furniture, gun stocks and veneer, black walnut continues to be one of the most valuable trees grown and harvested in the Midwest.

Despite its value as a forest product, did you know that black walnut trees (Juglans nigra) have a dark side? Black walnut produces a toxic substance called juglone that prevents many plants from growing near-by. Juglone inhibits respiration in susceptible plants, causing growth to be stunted or deformed and can eventually kill some plant species. Root contact with black walnut or close physical proximity seems to be necessary before the actual harm is done.

SYMPTOMSSymptoms of black walnut toxicity are variable, and sometimes mimic symptoms of diseases or physiological disorders. Walnut toxicity will often show up as a wilting or drooping of leaves and is especially true for fast-growing annual plants such as potatoes or tomatoes.

PLANTS AFFECTEDWhich plants are harmed by black walnut roots, and which are resistant to damage? Plants in the nightshade family (Solanaceae) seem to be especially susceptible to the toxin juglone; commonly planted vegetables in this family include eggplant, green pepper, potato and tomato. The following list of common susceptible and resistant plants is shown below. Since research on this subject is limited, this is not a complete listing and information is based mostly upon observation and not necessarily scientific testing.

BLACK WALNUT TOXICITY

PLANTS SENSITIVE TO JUGLONEVegetables: asparagus, cabbage, eggplant, pepper, potato, rhubarb, tomato

Flowers: chrysanthemum, petunia, peonies

Trees: basswood/linden, pine, spruce, silver maple, white birch

Shrubs and Vines: azalea, blackberry (and most berries other than black raspberry), cotoneaster, hydrangea, lilac, potentilla, privet, rhododendron, yew

PLANTS TOLERANT OF JOGLONEVegetables: beans, beets, carrot, corn, melon, onion, parsnip, squash

Flowers: aster, astilbe, bee balm, begonia, black-eyed susan, bluebell, calendula, crocus, daylily, ferns, hollyhock, impatients, Jack-in-the-pulpit, Jacob’s ladder, marigold, morning glory, pansy, phlox, Siberian iris, squill, sweet woodruff, trillium, zinnia

Trees: catalpa, Eastern redbud, elms, hackberry, hawthorn, hemlock, hickory, most maples, oaks, pagoda dogwood, poplar, red cedar, willow

Shrubs and Vines: arborvitae, bittersweet, black raspberry, clematis, currant, forsythia, euonymus, greenbrier, pachysandra, rose-of-sharon, sumac, most viburnum, Virginia creeper, wild grape, wild rose, witch hazel

MANAGEMENTSince there is no chemical control available to stop the potentially toxic effect of black walnut roots, physical separation is the only practical control. Feeder roots from the black walnuts extend far beyond the outer edges of the canopy of the tree, so it is best to keep susceptible plants a good distance from it.

Cutting down and removing the tree is of limited help, unless all roots are removed from the soil. Any roots remaining in the soil can continue to give off juglone, until the roots deteriorate and decay. As a last resort, susceptible plants can be grown in above ground containers where plants will not be in direct contact with the tree.

Finally, please be considerate and thoughtful of your neighbors when planting a black walnut into the landscape. The roots of a mature tree can reach several times the height of a tree, meaning your neighbor’s gardens may be adversely impacted by your well meaning intentions.Sources: University of Minnesota extension. 1999.

Here is the top 10 scams consumers need to think about in 2012.

1. If you receive these messages, delete them and do not click on any links. Hang up on callers you aren’t familiar with. Never give credit information online or over the phone unless you are sure of the identity of the caller.

2. It is illegal for a company to charge a fee in advance to obtain a loan, even if that fee is disguised as the first or last month’s payment.

3. Before cashing in on the gold rush, do your research. When choosing an appraiser, find someone locally you know and trust. Get multiple appraisals and compare prices before selling.

4. Most elder abuse happens to a senior by someone they know, such as a family member, friend or caregiver. Signs a senior is being financially abused include missing belongings, unusual activity in bank accounts, suspicious stories, bounced cheques and numerous unpaid bills.

5. Protect yourself from deceptive advertising by doing your research before making a purchase. Always check out a company’s BBB Business Review first. If it sounds too good to be true, remember that it probably is.

6. Don’t give in to high pressure sales tactics. If you feel threatened by an aggressive salesperson, ask them to leave your property. If they refuse, call the police. Before making any purchase, take the time to do your due diligence, getting the name and location of the company and ensuring all details and verbal promises are included in a contract.

7. Treat all unsolicited phone calls with skepticism. Check with the organization directly that the caller is claiming to be from, using the contact numbers found on their website. Do not provide any personal information to avoid identity theft. Never provide credit or debit card information for payment.

8. Don’t just pick the first “local” company you find online. Confirm the company address and ask for the legal name of the business. When the locksmith arrives, ask for identification, a business card and their license. Make sure they are insured so you know costs will be covered should any damage be done to your personal property.

9. Pay close attention to details on signup and annual fees, minimum bidding requirements, maximum prize amounts and how to get a refund. Before bidding on an item, research how much it costs elsewhere and keep track of how much you’re spending on bids overall to see if you really are getting a good deal.

10. Your computer should always have the most recent updates installed for spam filters, anti-virus and anti-spyware software, and a secure firewall. Use the most up-to-date versions of your web browser to offer further protection. Be wary of messages from friends and especially strangers that direct you to another website via a hyperlink.

If you have questions please contact Lt Brian Amenson at [email protected] or Lt Terry Rottier at [email protected]

Grills are a great way to cook food in the summer months and enjoy the weather

outside. There are some key things to remember when using grills to keep you safe.

• Grills produce carbon monoxide so make sure you use your grill in an open, non-enclosed area.

• Never place grills near any structures or vegetation to avoid ethe risk of a fire.

• Supervise children around hot grills at all times.

Gas Grills:

• Before using a gas grill, make sure to check the connection between the propane tank and the fuel line. Make sure all connections are secure and in good working order.

• Always turn the valve on the propane tank off when not in use.

Charcoal Grills:

• Be careful when using lighter fluid. Do not add fluid to an already lit fire because the flame can flashback into the container causing an explosion.

• Dispose of hot coals properly – Douse them with plenty of water and stir them to ensure that the fire is out.

Prescription Medication Disposal Program- No syringes or needles

- No non-medical inhalers

- No mercury

- No commercial, business or long-term care deposits

- Leave medication in original package or prescription bottle.

- You CAN cross off the name and any identifying information, but do not cross off the name of the medication.

Attention Village of Ashwaubenon ResidentsVillage of Ashwaubenon residents have a new place to safely dispose of old or unused prescription medication.

The disposal of unused medications poses a complex problem faced by nearly everyone who has ever received them. Unused medications in the home pose health and safety risks for a variety of reasons. Medications that are not safely stored can be accessible to children and may result in accidental poisonings. Medications that are thrown out in the garbage or flushed down the toilet post hazards to the ecosystem due to the chemical compounds found in these medications.

This project was financed by UnitedHealthCare and is working in partnership with WPS, Brown County Port & Solid Waste and Partners in Education Drug Alliance.

The RX Drop Box is located at 2155 Holmgren Way in the Public Safety side of the building. It will be available for collections Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

HELP YOUR COMMUNITY!!!“Assist in maintaining our Ashwaubenon Quality of Life”Ashwaubenon’s Neighborhood Watch Program is looking for volunteers throughout the village to serve as Neighborhood Captains. If your area is without an “active”

neighborhood watch, please consider volunteering.

The “Neighborhood Watch” program is part of a National Crime Prevention Program that enlists volunteer captains to work in cooperation with their neighbors along with the Ashwaubenon Public Safety Department to help reduce and prevent crime.

The average captain duties include: recruitment of neighbors, e-mail contact with Ashwaubenon Public Safety with concerns or questions and organization of a yearly meeting. All of these duties are with Public Safety assistance.

Please contact Lieutenant Brian Amenson at Ashwaubenon Public Safety (920) 492-2995 or e-mail at [email protected].

The best crime prevention tool ever invented is a good neighbor!
