Greenfield Community CenterEverything is Coming Up Roses!

From the new landscaping at City Hall, to the newly remodeled terraceat the Greenfield Community Center (former library) and throughout ourGreenfield parks, everything is coming up roses, thanks to a vision andinspiration of Greenfield resident Bill Radler.

Bill Radler, Rose Breeder BioHis passion for roses began at a very young age. Starting with a verylimited budget, he quickly learned how to propagate more plantsthrough cuttings and bud grafting. In only a few short years his entireyard was overcome with roses. To acquire more skills and share his expe-riences, he joined a local rose society. At his first rose show he won thesweepstakes for having the most blue ribbons.

Even with his success at growing and maintaining beautiful exhibitionquality roses it didn't take him long to realize the work involved in caringfor them. The thought of breeding roses that everyone can grow andenjoy became a life-long pursuit.

Through trial and error he was successful in developing a repeat bloom-ing rose that was highly disease resistant and cold hardy known as TheKnock Out® Rose.

In 2000 The Knock Out® Rose was given the prestigious AARS award (AllAmerican Rose Selection). Since its introduction The Knock Out® Rosehas easily become the best selling new rose on the market.

A big thanks to Mr. Radler for his generosity and vision for our community.

Come Smell The Roses...The Community Center Terrace will be finished in mid-June. You areinvited to stroll through the Terrace and take a peek. Don’t forget tocheck out the new City Hall landscaping.

In celebration of National Rose Month, we hopethe new landscape will inspire you to plant yourown variety of knockout roses developed by Mr.Radler. Check out your favorite landscaping storefor these wonderful, carefree rose plants.

Happy planting!

The Center’sdesign is a perfect place to hold your next gathering (weddings, birthdays,anniversaries, meetings and trainings, etc.).

Calling all diehard NFL fans…whether you’re abeginner or pro, come play a fantasy footballgame with a unique twist, one that you won’tfind on any of the online sites. TURFF standsfor “The Ultimate Re-Draft Fantasy Football”,where it combines traditional fantasy footballwith an eliminator-type game. No two weeksare the same, so no worries if you’re team doesawful one week, as you draft a new team ofplayers each week, so you could still be in therunning for the championships at the end ofthe season. The twist here is that once youchoose a player, you cannot choose themagain the rest of the season, so this is not onlya game of skill, but one of strategy while learn-ing more about the players from all NFL teams.Can you continue to make a winning combi-nation each week or will you hit the “turff”?Three games will be played each week. Alongwith TURFF, we will also play a traditional fan-tasy football with a salary cap format andhead-to-head matchups, along with team pick-em. Encourage a friend to sign up and com-pete with other teens from our area. We meetonly three times throughout the season, thedraft/rules meeting on August 31st, and mid-season and end-of-season football watchingparties at the Greenfield Community Center.The rest is all done from home through a cus-tom website for our program, so participantswill need to have an e-mail address to partici-pate. Awards will be presented for variousaccomplishments at the end-of-season party.

1) Your first session: Enroll in the specific level class.

2) Your second session of the semester: Enroll as a “continuing student” and indicate the registration number appropriatefor the session. Remember to submit both your form and fee prior to the time out date given for the session. This will place you on the waiting list. At the second to last lesson, when testing takes place, your child(ren’s) instructor willupdate the coordinators of their progress. Classes are adjusted to accommodate as many children as possible, alsofactoring siblings. At the last lesson, participants will receive a slip with placement.

Private swim lessons Youth (Ages 6+) to Adult

Private swim lessons are designed to help meet the needs of participants who are seeking more individualized instruction.Teens and Adults seeking to improve their swim strokes are welcome. One of our swim instructors will be assigned towork one-on-one with you or your child to accomplish specific strokes or skills during the class.

Additional times may be available — call 329-5370 to inquire.Note: After the time out date, due to the scheduling of staff, there are no credits or refunds.

PrActice mAKes PerfectSwimming is a recreational activity that will last a lifetime. Learning to swim happens with swim lessons and spendingtime in the water during Open Swim for water exploration and play. By enrolling your child(ren) in the Greenfield Parks & Recreation Dept's Learn to Swim program, you automatically are able to attend our Open Swim time at no additional cost during the dates of your class, by showing your learn to swim program receipt at the door. You and yourchild can come to the pool to have fun while providing time for them to practice and develop their skills. We see somany children who just come to the pool for swim lessons who miss out on the enjoyment of just being at the pool andthe water learning that comes from it.

ArrivAl/PicK-uPChildren may not be dropped off prior to the stated times. This is a safety issue since everyonedropped off needs to be supervised and our staff will not be there yet. Children also need to bepicked up no later than the 5:30 PM time. Late pick-ups take our staff away from other programs. If a child is repeatedly dropped off early or picked up late, you may be charged for our staff timeand your child dropped from the program.

droP-in visitorsIndividuals not registered in the program who wish to participate in the activities at the site for agiven day can ‘drop-in’. Visitors can only ‘drop-in’ for one day during a week. Visitors are NOT eli-gible to participate in field trips, and will not be permitted at sites if they have reached their maxi-mum enrollment capacity for a session. These restrictions were created to make it possible tomaintain a proper supervision ratio for those who have registered. Program fees are not “pro-rated” nor are visitors fees “ credited” if a visitor later enrolls as a regular participant. Visitors rate:Half Day $8; Whole day $16 paid at the site. No visitors for the Tyke Site.

medicAtionsPark and Recreation Department staff members are not allowed to provide medications for any par-ticipant. If your child needs assistance during the day, you will need to make other arrangements toprovide that assistance.

In 2006, Bi-Centennial Park (51st & Layton, near the Law Enforcement Center and NEW Library) officially became a Citypark. As part of our 50th Celebration Legacy Project, a fountain was placed in the park as a centerpiece. Other park features include flag-poles and a stone marker, all framed by a beautiful garden and landscaping. The outer area surrounding the fountain will be paved with bricks, providing you a unique opportunity to make a lasting mark to:

• Commemorate your family’s place in Greenfield History • Remember a loved one• Honor a family member, friend or associate • Recognize an achievement• Celebrate a special occasion/event • Promote your business

The bricks are engraved using a laser process that will penetrate, melt and crystallize the clay brick, resulting in a permanent engraving.
