What Do You Want to 

be When You Grow Up? 

Can you imagine comparing the 

importance of a Marshwood – 

York football game to being an 

astronaut getting ready to board a 

Russian Spaceship enroute to the 

International Space Station? Well, 

when you’re sixteen that game is 

about as big as it gets, isn’t it? 

I guess that tells us that everything 

you do in life is bigger than big at 

the time, and that the choices and 

decisions you make now can have an 

impact on the rest of your life, so….. 

Reach for the moon…..or in Chris 

Cassidy’s case…the International 

Space Station! 

It’s all about focus and the desire 

“ 

4 days until launch, and 

I’m starting to get pretty 

fired up. It’s the same 

kind of feeling as the 

week prior to a big 

York-Marshwood 

football game! 

– Chris Cassidy, 

March 24, 2013 

” 

to succeed. If you plan to win, your 

dedication to the game plan and 

your desire to be the best you can 

be, can be achieved. 

It just takes hard work, discipline, 

confidence, self esteem, and trust. 

Life’s greatest lessons are often 

learned through a competitive 

environment. The belief is that if 

failure exists; it comes from not 

realizing how close you were 

to success when you gave up. 

Chris played football on York 

Fields….just like you. 

Chris played basketball in York 

Gyms…just like you. 

Chris played youth baseball at the 

elementary school, middle school and 

high school….just like you. 

And he dreamed …. Just like you. 

So whatever you dream can be 

become a reality…. 

Chris is our home town hero and 

someone who proves that life lessons 

learned on the field, the court, 

and in the classroom can carry you 

anywhere you want to go. 

Most importantly if you set your 

mind to it, you really can do it! 

Work hard, play hard and someday 

you can say…. Mission accomplished! 

Life. Be in it!

York Parks and Recreation Summer 2013 

Message from the Director 

The Parks and Recreation Departments responsibilities include the 

operations and maintenance of public buildings, parks, beaches and 

recreation facilities as well as school and community athletic fields 

and green spaces. The most notable of parks are Cape Neddick Light 

Station (Nubble Light) and the Mount Agamenticus Conservation 

Area. We administer a comprehensive community recreation 

program and oversee the operations of the Senior Citizens Center. 

The Department does receive support from tax dollars, however 

much of our funding comes from user fees, outside sponsorships 

and department fundraising. 

Like that of the private sector the last few years have been 

difficult for Town agencies. The struggling economy has tightened 

budgets and put off needed improvements and projects. While it 

often seems like the right thing to do at the time these things have 

a way of circling around and costing more in the long run. I believe 

it is important to be conservative, however it’s also important to 

maintain the course in the best interest of the community. 

The Parks and Recreation Department has proposed two capital 

projects for the May referendum. The first is the replacement of the 

Public Restroom Facility on Long Sands Beach and the second is the 

construction of a multipurpose athletic field at the Bog Road Athletic 

Complex. Both of these projects are important to the community 

and I encourage your support. 

The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region has come a long 

way since the early years of the program. We have transitioned 

from a rundown, dilapidated old ski area with no clear direction to 

what we have today…A well thought out, attractive destination that 

boosts the local economy. The region provides town residents and 

tourists alike with a unique outdoor experience greatly adding to the 

quality of life for those fortunate enough to call York home. 

Now, we are faced with a major challenge in this 13 th year of 

management. Limited funding is marginalizing our capability to 

provide stewardship and meet our community’s expectations. 

Despite increasing challenges, we are committed to continuing to 

offer this wonderful region and experience to the more than 40,000 

yearly visitors and their families. In addition, it is our goal to continue 

developing the “Learning Lodge” which has received a great deal 

of praise as an informative and fun filled environmental education 

center. Presently, all school groups from preschool through high 

school visit the lodge and/or immediate summit area on coordinated 

field trips. Many existing interpretive panels and other displays 

help to open their eyes to the biodiversity, watersheds, and unique 

trail systems that exist at Mount Agamenticus. To further meet 

community needs, we are continuing to improve the new summit 

trail designed with the capability to provide access to everyone from 

small tykes to individuals with disabilities. 

During recent monthly meetings, the Mount Agamenticus Steering 

MShoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars. 

A

A 

Committee has focused discussions on the FY 14 conservation 

budget. Though we have been very fortunate to have Steering 

Committee partner support to date, total contributions will not be 

as much as previous years. As a result we are facing a significant 

shortfall. This is in part due to the loss of Maine Department of 

Inland Fisheries & Wildlife’s (MDIFW) contribution through the 

Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund. The last year we received funding 

from MDIFW was in FY 2011. The Nature Conservancy has also been 

forced to scale back their contribution in recent years due to their 

own budget shortfalls. Though they remain very supportive of our 

work, they are not able to commit a firm pledge for FY14. While we 

have submitted another application to the Maine Department of 

Conservation’s Recreational Trails Program (RTP), a funding source 

that has supported the Mount A seasonal work force for most of the 

last 13 years, we know this is not a reliable source of funding and 

they too have experienced federal cuts in recent years. The reality is 

while we have been extremely successful leveraging support for the 

Mount A program in the past through our partners and grants, these 

resources are no longer adequate or reliable, leaving us to fund the 

trail maintenance and remediation program locally. It is a testament 

to the value of the program that we were able to secure outside 

funding for so many years while competing with other worthy causes 

seeking the same support. 

Mount Agamenticus is extremely important to York and funding 

the Coordinator’s position is the most important thing we can do 

to serve our community. We have made incredible progress due 

to Robin’s stewardship and her contributions are the most critical 

element to our current success. It would be a significant setback if 

her position was not fully funded. Surveys indicate that Mount A. is a 

primary destination for visitors from both nearby and afar. Each year 

visitor numbers increase greatly, despite minimum advertising. These 

visitors add to the local economy when they utilize local businesses 

and reinforce the identity of York as “the Gateway to Maine.” Residents 

continue to benefit from having such a rare jewel in their back yard 

and enjoy living up to the adage “the way life should be.” I strongly 

recommend that the Town invest in this tremendous asset and 

increase their contribution to $ 45,144, utilizing partner contributions 

to cover the shortfall in funding the Coordinator’s position. In the 

future it will make sense to fully fund this position, utilize partner 

contributions to fund the seasonal salaries required for remediation 

work and program support, and develop a fundraising strategy, 

assuring this community resource is sustained into the future. 

Respectfully, 

Michael Sullivan

PaRkS, BeacheS anD athletic FielDS 

We live in a community that has extraordinary natural resources. From the 

sweeping views at the summit of Mount Agamenticus, to our ocean front 

parks, harbors, beaches and the famous Nubble Lighthouse we are constantly 

reminded of “the way life should be”. School and municipal playgrounds 

and athletic fields are also available for more active recreational 

opportunities either through organized activities or impromptu visits. 

As residents we sometimes miss the true value of these community assets. 

We have a tendency to think that schools are for school children only and 

our parks and beaches are for tourists. This summer how about you get 

your exercise by walking the High School track, have your Saturday morning 

coffee on the rocks at Sohier Park, take your grandchildren to the Bog 

Road Playground, try surfing at Long Sands beach or take the family for a 

picnic and hike at Mount Agamenticus. 

We at the Parks and Recreation Department take our responsibility as 

stewards of these properties seriously and we work to manage and maintain 

them in a way that is both responsible and sustainable. Our maintenance 

crews will be out doing our thing this summer and we hope to see 

you out doing yours! 

Safe and Responsible turf Management 

The Parks and Recreation Department has been practicing organic turf 

care on school and municipal athletic fields and grounds since 2007. We 

have had great success maintaining even our high end turf fields without 

relying on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic fertilizers amend the 

soil with each application, much like you might add compost or manure to 

your garden each season. We add organic material, nutrients and microorganisms 

to the soil with each application. Synthetic fertilizers act similar 

to anabolic steroids: they cause rapid growth with quick results; however 

the results fade away quickly when the applications cease. By feeding the 

soil instead of the plant we are building a diverse ecosystem below the 

plant able to tolerate stressful conditions and sustain healthy turf safely, 

for generations to come. 

Beach information 

Our lifeguard program begins on June 22nd and runs through September 

2nd. Guards will be on duty every day between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM and 

will be stationed at Long Sands, Short Sands and Harbor Beach. 

The restroom facilities at Long Sands and Harbor Beach will be open daily 

from May 4th through Columbus Day. Short Sands restrooms will be open 

from mid April through Columbus Day. 

Resident parking stickers are available in the Clerk’s office at the York 

Town Hall. Stickers are $35 each and $15 each for seniors. They are 

effective from May 15th through October 15th and are good for York 

Harbor Beach, Long Sands Beach, Cape Neddick Beach, York Beach Ball 

Field and the Wiggly Bridge. 

The Town of York participates in the Maine Healthy Beaches Program. This 

is part of a larger statewide effort to insure healthy, informed opportunities 

for swimming and other recreational water activities along the coast 

of Maine. Our beaches are tested weekly at various locations in order to 

provide a standardized quality-assured monitoring and notification system. 

For more information about York’s beaches you may call the Parks 

and Recreation office or visit the Maine Healthy Beaches web site at www. 

mainehealthybeaches.org.

Our community has one of the most beautiful lighthouse parks in the 

country. The preservation and up-keep of this historic landmark is extremely 

important and is largely dependent on community volunteers. 

Under the watchful eye of the Sohier Park Committee, the Parks and Recreation 

Department is responsible for maintenance and operations at the 

Park. Funding is primarily derived from a small gift shop, which is located 

in the Welcome Center at the park. The Center is open daily from mid 

April through late October.

The Mount Agamenticus region is a natural treasure and an invaluable 

resource for wildlife, water, and recreation! The three hilled area is 

home to vernal pool species, rare plants and animals and is the heart 

of five watersheds that provide drinking water for southern York 

County residents. It is also a recreational destination point for over 

40,000 residents and visitors annually. It boasts scenic vistas, large 

unfragmented forests, biological richness, and miles of well marked 

and maintained trails. 

State, local and non-profit landowners work together to protect this 

land and to manage recreational opportunities while conserving wildlife 

habitat and water quality. These landowners make up the Mount 

Agamenticus Steering Committee and include: the Towns of York and 

South Berwick, The York Water District, Maine 

Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Great 

Works Regional Land Trust, York Land Trust, 

and The Nature Conservancy. Together, 

these partners strive to maintain safe, 

responsible, and enjoyable public 

access to Mount A’s trail system 

without compromising the 

integrity of the area’s 

ecologically significant 

habitat.

Thanks to the 

collaborative conservation efforts 

of our partners, crew, volunteers and 

donors, Mount A has become a wonderful 

place for the local community to enjoy the 

outdoors, experience its scenic beauty, 

and to appreciate its significance as one 

of Maine’s Last Great Places.

Summit Scenic Views and One-mile loop trail 

Amazing summit views of the eastern seacoast, inland ponds and distant 

mountain ranges have been restored and enhanced and significant cleanup 

work occurred at the summit over the last field season. Thanks to the 

hard work and dedication of the Conservation Crew and many volunteers, 

all existing trails that access the summit have been re-routed, marked and 

are ready for use. 

This is part of a larger effort that will provide important habitat for 

many wildlife species as the cleared area develops into beneficial early 

successional shrubland or young forest. Shrubland habitats contain 

thickets of bushes and young trees mixed with scattered grasses and 

wildflowers. Many species of wildlife require young growth areas for food

and shelter. There has been a drastic decline of shrubland over the last 100 

years due in large part to land-use change (farm abandonment), human 

development, fewer large beaver impoundments, fire suppression, and 

natural forest succession. As a result, those species of plants, mammals, 

birds, amphibians, and reptiles that require this habitat for survival are 

becoming increasingly rare. The summit is an ideal location to promote 

this habitat as it is where many visitors begin their exploration of the region 

and where we can easily showcase successful land conservation efforts. 

In addition, a new 1.0 mile summit loop trail has been completely 

mapped and identified. This trail is currently accessible by foot traffic 

and contained within the summit open canopy area. It will guide you 

through the open field and shrubland, connect with re-established trail 

heads, and provide resting and viewing opportunities. It is designed 

with the intention to become handicap accessible (as funding becomes 

available) and will be upgraded with a packed crushed stone and gravel 

or boardwalk surface. Until then, come explore the new path by following 

the temporary trail markers!

Baby Boomer Kayaking 

Recreational Kayaking is said to be the “perfect sport for the not so sporty”; 

you do not need to be a skilled athlete to be a kayaker. It’s an ideal activity 

for young or old, fit or not. Men and women can be athletic equals in a recreational 

kayak. It’s easy to learn (most get the knack in just a few minutes), 

requires almost no coordination and not much muscle, and is exhilarating and 

completely relaxing….all at the same time! Kayaking is fun exercise! Lots of 

baby boomers walk for exercise but what most lack is upper body strength and 

walking doesn’t provide that. The usual cure is weight and strength training at 

the gym, but for most that is not very fun. Kayaking gives you a good upper 

body work out with varying intensity levels as controlled by you. You can burn 

calories by paddling at a quick pace or unwind with a few easy strokes every 

now and then. Kayaking also offers a unique outdoor experience… you are gliding 

across the water at eye level with nature! There is nothing to be intimidated 

by, our qualified staff will provide you with an introduction to kayaking and a 

safety session that will have you benefitting from, and loving this sport in no 

time. This program will meet on Thursday afternoons from 1:00pm-2:00pm at 

Strawberry Island on Rte. 103. The first of four sessions will begin on July 11th 

and will run through August 1st. Due to the number of kayaks available, class 

size is limited. We encourage any interested paddlers to register early.

Nordic Fitness Walking 

Burn 40% more calories than walking alone 

4 Week Session 

With the beautiful warmer weather here, wouldn’t it be nice to get 

outside and burn extra calories while enjoying a smart physical outdoor 

activity with maximum health benefits? Nordic Walking is easy to learn 

and best of all it combines fun with convenience. Nordic Walking is like 

fitness walking with specialized walking poles. Our starter clinic is perfect 

for all ages and abilities so now is the perfect time to discover what 

Finland fitness buffs have known for years. Nordic Walking burns up to 

40% more calories, increases upper body strength, improves balance, 

and reduces stress on your hips, knees and spine. Our classes will meet 

on Long Sands Beach in front of the Bath House and will begin with 

information on the history of Nordic Walking, pole fitting, and then we 

will head out on our first Nordic Walk. Each walking session will explore 

a new walking location decided upon by our group. This is a wonderful 

and safe way to experience new walking paths together such as the Rachel 

Carson Wildlife Refuge, Laudholm Farm, Steedman Woods/Wiggly 

Bridge, and Vaughn Woods. There will be two levels to choose from 

and we will do our best to accommodate those who would prefer to 

switch levels. 

active Walkers level – This is a session for active walkers without 

physical limitations. This session will be held from 7:30am to 8:30am 

leisurely Paced level – This session will be great if you prefer a slower pace 

or if you have physical limitations. This session will be held from 9:00am to 

10:00am. 

Poles will be provided by, and returned to, the instructor at each session. 

Bio: Lauren DeLong is the owner of York Nordic and a certified Nordic Walking 

instructor. Lauren’s passion for Nordic Walking began when her mother 

had hip replacement surgery and the surgeon recommended Nordic Walking 

as a way for her mother to maintain balance while strengthening her hip during 

recovery. She teaches Nordic Walking around Southern Maine on both 

Long Sands Beach in York and on Ogunquit beach. She has designed and 

manufactured her own poles which will be provided for use during the clinic. 

www.Yorknordic.com is a great resource on the history of Nordic Walking, 

the scientific research behind the benefits, as well as helpful tips on proper 

form. She is excited to share her passion for this sport with others.

Hoe He’e nalu – Stand up Paddle Surfing – 10 years and up 

The Hawaiian translation means stand up paddle surfing. In Hawaiian, “hoe” 

means paddle... “he’e” means to surf or slide...and “nalu” means wave. 

You don’t have to possess a Hawaiian royalty bloodline or be King Xtreme Laird 

to participate in the rebirth of this old school surfing sport popularized by the 

Waikiki “beach boys”...who used outrigger canoe paddles to surf waves standing 

up...but, it’s not just about surfing...paddling and GLIDE is what ties this sport 

to the ancient Polynesians...and is why world class surfers have embraced it... 

This program is offered as an introduction to the sport which will give you an 

excellent foundation, and teach you the skills needed to get started. You will 

learn the basics of paddling, turning and if the conditions are right you will 

have the opportunity to tackle some waves. This is a great workout and is an 

extremely fun and addictive sport that can be enjoyed by any age group with 

or without any previous experience. Trust us! You’ll be hooked! 

All equipment is supplied by Liquid Dreams Surf Shop.

Introduction to Athletic YOGA – For “Yoga Shy Guys” 

15 years and up 

Are you a “yoga shy guy”? Or do you think yoga isn’t a real workout? I understand 

your apprehensions. I sulked to my first yoga class simply to quiet my nagging 

wife. I quickly found athletic yoga to be one of the most effective workouts 

around. Thru yoga, I experienced lasting relief to my previously chronic back 

pain and I lost 40 pounds. Yoga alleviates everything from a stiff back to low 

energy and reduces stress. If your hesitation is that you are NOT FLEXIBLE then 

all the more reason you should be doing it. Weight lifting and sports, without 

stretching, shorten the muscles and pull the skeletal system out of alignment 

leading to aches and pains. Yoga brings fluid movement back into stiff joints, 

lengthens muscles and allows you to return to proper skeletal alignment. 

In this 4-week beginner series, you will be clearly guided in the safe execution 

of athletic yoga postures. You will increase the range of motion of your 

joints, increase the strength and flexibility of your muscles while releasing 

physical and mental tensions. Wear comfortable workout clothes and bare 

feet. Yoga mats provided

WILDCAT HOOP CAMP 

Our hoop camps will operate 4 one-week sessions of fun and development 

with the great game of basketball. Each session will be designed for 

specific age groups and will include 25 hours of fundamentals and skills. 

The intent of the camp is to keep players on the right track in learning 

the game. Players will be challenged by age appropriate drills and games 

designed to improve their skills while still keeping the game of basketball 

a fun activity. The support staff is made up of former and present high 

school and current college players who went through much of the same 

routines when they were younger, giving credibility to the activities. Our 

staff loves what they do and the players will quickly pick up on that enthusiasm. 

Progressions and games will also be a part of the camp atmosphere 

along with daily prizes and t-shirts. Campers will meet each morning at 

9:00 am, at the York High School gymnasium and will head home at 2:00 

pm. Campers will be asked to bring a bag lunch and drinks.

emphasis is on the fun, recreation, and sportsmanship of the game. For

AT CAPE NEDDICK COUNTRY CLUB 

Back by popular demand and with a new twist! On Monday, August 12th, 

junior golfers ages 8 – 17 are invited to join us at beautiful Cape Neddick 

Country Club on Shore Road for some scramble format tournament play. For 

those who are not familiar with the scramble format, groups will be formed 

(you can register as individuals or teams), each player tees off on each hole. 

The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots 

from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their 

third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed. We think that 

this new format will be fun for all levels of young golfers and we encourage 

players to sign up and/or put your teams together early as we expect the 

tournament to fill quickly. Tournament play is set to get underway with 

pre-assigned tee times (you will be notified) beginning at 10:00 am. Players 

who register as individuals will be placed on an age appropriate team. 

Awards will be given to teams and individuals in age categories. Following 

your round of golf, players are invited to participate in a putting contest. A 

cookout lunch will be served to all participants. All are eligible for great raffle 

prizes. Although the tournament is open to all levels, golf course experience 

is required. This should not be your child’s first round of golf. We welcome 

any parent “caddies” to serve as official scorekeepers. We hope that you will 

make plans to join us for this exciting day of golf play.

HORSE CAMPS 

No matter where you live, there is a horse camp easily accessible and 

waiting for you!! How lucky we are to be able to offer these programs to the 

community. These horse camps come highly recommended by us, but be 

sure to read the descriptions of the camps to see what best fits your child’s 

needs and desires as the day to day activities do vary in each camp! 

WALKER STABLES AT JOHNSON FARM 

ages 5 and up 

Walker Stables at Johnson Farm is a 250-year old horse farm located 

between Mount Agamenticus and the Atlantic Ocean in beautiful Cape 

Neddick, Maine where we established our Summer Horse Camp in 2006. 

Although our program is geared primarily towards horseback riding, our day 

camp is great for families who want their children to experience the great 

outdoors, connect with Nature, and the endless educational activities unique 

to the Maine farm. This is a great way to prepare your child for residential camp. 

We offer an exciting program sure to have your child fully engaged and 

delighted while providing them with memories for a lifetime. Horseback 

riding is not only fun, but is a disciplined sport that will help build your 

child’s confidence and self-reliance. Our staff is qualified to teach a wide 

range of riders from young beginners to advanced and showing students. 

We consider each student’s skill, confidence, readiness to learn, and size, 

in assigning appropriate mounts, riding groups, and instructors. 

During our one-week camp session we will instruct your child to horseback 

ride in daily, one-on-one lessons tailored to his/her individual needs. We 

give each student a platform to take their individual riding experience as 

far as they would like. 

We have a wide-ranging mix of campers from all over the Northeast – and 

far beyond, with varying riding experience from first-timers to experienced 

show jumpers. One thing all of our campers have in common is that they 

all LOVE HORSES!

HoeHe’e nalu – Stand up Paddle Surfing – ages 10 and Up 

The Hawaiian translation means stand up paddle surfing. In Hawaiian, 

“hoe” means paddle... “he’e” means to surf or slide...and “nalu” 

means wave. 

You don’t have to possess a Hawaiian royalty bloodline or be King 

Xtreme Laird to participate in the rebirth of this old school surfing 

sport popularized by the Waikiki “beach boys”...who used outrigger 

canoe paddles to surf waves standing up...but, it’s not just about 

surfing...paddling and GLIDE is what ties this sport to the ancient 

Polynesians...and is why world class surfers have embraced it... 

This program is offered as an introduction to the sport which will 

give you an excellent foundation, and teach you the skills needed 

to get started. You will learn the basics of paddling, turning and if 

the conditions are right you will have the opportunity to tackle some 

waves. This is a great workout and is an extremely fun and addictive 

sport that can be enjoyed by any age group with or without any 

previous experience. Trust us! You’ll be hooked! 

Any student that takes a class with Liquid Dreams Surf Shop can 

receive a 10% discount on wetsuits and all accessories plus $50.00 off 

the purchase of a board.

TENNIS - OUR KIDS TENNIS PROGRAMS… 

it’S all aBOUt FUn! 

Norm Martinen has been enjoying tennis for most of his life and is certified 

as a tennis professional through the USPTA (United States Professional 

Tennis Association). Norm enjoys teaching tennis to both adults and 

children, and will be starting his fifth year as head coach for the York 

High School girls tennis team, York Middle School Team, and as a tennis 

instructor at The Wentworth Country Club in Rye, NH. 

“I’m a strong believer that experience and knowledge are important in 

teaching tennis. But I feel these alone will not give you a successful tennis 

program. Fun, motivation and enthusiasm are equally important, and is the 

recipe I use every time I’m on a tennis court” It works and it’s contagious. 

Having fun is our #1 goal in all of our Kid’s Tennis Programs. Yes, you will improve 

your tennis game by working on the fundamentals, forehand, backhand, volley 

and serve, however, even more important will be the fun your child will have in 

going to “jail”, or playing rip your face off…wipe out…back of the bus…around 

the world…or the now famous Beach Baseball Tennis. It is a known fact that 

kids learn faster if they are having fun…so fun we do have! 

Don’t miss out! Sign up your tennis player for one of our fun filled summer 

sessions. Your child will thank you…

Broadway Here We Come….. 

ages 6 and up 

How do you get to Carnegie Hall or... American Idol? 

Metropolitan Opera? 

Broadway? 

You will learn about America’s unique theatrical legacy of the Broadway 

musical as you sing some of Broadway’s most famous tunes. 

You will spend each afternoon warming up your voices, then learning all 

about vocal technique, then practicing the songs and performances of 

your choice from Broadway shows, or popular award-winning songs, or 

top forty songs. You will learn how to show expression as you sing, you 

will learn to use your hands and your body to demonstrate the meaning 

of the songs, and you will receive coaching from other outside coaches, as 

well as help your camp members get better at diction, pitch, expression, 

dynamics and projection. No experience is necessary; however, if you 

have specific songs you want to work on, bring them along!

Reinforcement” training. In this course they will work with their 

dogs to train for good manners and tricks. Games, grooming, proper 

canine care and the sport of agility will also be introduced. Mutual 

respect and responsible dog ownership will be emphasized. All dogs 

must be pre-qualified for temperament by “it’s a dog’s world” staff.

ages 10 to 14 unless the child has completed our first level 

Kids and their dogs continue bonding and relationship building and they 

learn about the canine sport of Rally, Agility and Scent Work. In Rally, kids 

and dogs team up to navigate a course of numbered stations indicating a 

variety of manners tasks to perform such as sits, downs, halts, and turns. 

Kids and dogs enjoy this sport because they work close together as they 

clap, whistle and even sing to their dogs to encourage them through the 

course. 

Agility is a sport that builds skills in handling dogs over and through a 

course of obstacles of ramps, tunnels, jumps and weave poles in a low 

pressure positive environment. This is a great way for dogs and kids 

to gain confidence and bond. 

Scent work is a hot new sport that will teach kids to set up training scenarios 

and direct their dog to use dog’s natural ability of scenting to search for 

toys or treats. Scent work will burn your dog’s mental and physical energy, 

can be done anywhere, and requires no special equipment. 

Canine communication, canine care, and positive reinforcement 

training will also be covered. Mutual respect and responsible dog 

ownership will be emphasized throughout the camp program.

Step Up to CRES! 

ages: For students who just finished 2nd grade at VeS 

Are you a student who just finished 2nd grade at VES? If so, you’ll be coming to 

CRES next year! It’s an exciting time to meet new friends, gain new teachers, 

get to know a new principal, and have a whole new world of experiences! 

But you may be a bit nervous... How will I find my way around? What 

are the teachers like? What will we learn? How do things work in the 

cafeteria? Will I have fun? 

If you have any of those questions, this camp is for you! We will tour the 

school, meet any staff members who are around, discuss what we will 

learn in 3rd grade, spend time on the playground (including walking or 

running some laps around our track), play some games, and more! There 

are so many amazing things that make CRES unique... From “Wake up 

and Read” to the “Mile Run” program, Friday assemblies, live studentbroadcasts, 

Kids Cabinet, Civil Rights Team, and so much more! I may 

even have former 3rd graders with us for some of the time to explain

what CRES is like and answer some of your questions in “kid-language”! 

We will also get some healthy exercise in this camp! Parents will drop 

you off at VES, and then we will hike through the woods to CRES. When 

we finish up our activities at CRES, we will hike back to VES, where your 

parents will pick you up. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and pack 

water and a snack! 

This fun introduction to CRES is sure to make your start to 3rd grade more 

relaxing and enjoyable. What are you waiting for? Sign up for “Step Up 

to CRES!”

The Color Run 5K 

…an all new race phenomenon! Vote for York! 

The Color Run is a unique experience focused less on speed and 

more on crazy color fun with friends and family. Color runners come

the start line has a blast. Whether you are a casual morning mall 

walker, or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course 

will be the most memorable and colorful run of your life! There are 

two simple rules to the Color Run 1. White shirts are mandatory at 

the start line for ALL participants and 2. Color plastered everything at 

the finish! Runners/walkers begin the 5K at the start line like a brand 

new pristine coloring book. By the end, they look like they fell into a 

Willy Wonka, tie dyed, vat of colored goodness. As participants reach 

each kilometer of the race, they enter a color zone ( yellow, orange, 

pink or blue), and are blitzed with 100% natural and safe color. The 

race ends with a color extravaganza of epic proportions. The finish 

line is the best post 5K party on the planet! The Color Run can only 

come to York, if you vote for us!! Please visit www.thecolorrun.com

You only have to scan the brochure you are holding to see that it’s going 

to be a great summer in York. All sorts of programs will be taking place for 

Seniors and other Adults and for Children and Youth. These programs will 

be run all over town from Bog Road to the Beach. We have great facilities in 

York to support a healthy and active lifestyle and these facilities could take 

a great leap forward if enough voters in Town vote to make that happen. 

The Parks and Recreation Department has proposed two capital projects for 

the May 18 referendum. The first is the replacement of the Public Restroom 

Facility on Long Sands Beach and the second is the construction of a multipurpose 

athletic field at the Bog Road Athletic Complex. 

As you probably know, the current restroom facility at Long Sands is completely 

inadequate to serve the thousands of people who visit the beach 

every day during peak season. The concrete block building has deteriorated 

to the point that it will no longer hold paint, has become porous and difficult 

to clean. The plumbing is in constant need of repair. The building lacks a 

utility room as well as storage space for supplies and equipment. Children’s 

changing areas, handicapped accessible bathrooms and a lifeguard/first aid 

room are high priorities. This in not just an infrastructure problem, it is a 

public health problem and it affects the overall health of the beach. Major 

improvements are long overdue and we encourage residents to support this 

project at the upcoming referendum. 

The other important item for your consideration is the Bog Road fields. 

These fields were built in 2001 for school and community programs which 

have continued to grow. The addition of lacrosse at all levels and the growth 

of Junior Wildcat Football have impacted the fields significantly. Scheduling 

has become increasingly difficult and the wear and stress from overuse of 

the existing fields is a concern. Shortly after the Bog Road fields were constructed, 

it became evident that the parking area was not large enough to 

accommodate the number of people using the fields at one time. During the 

fall and spring, parking for the soccer and lacrosse programs is inadequate. 

Patrons are forced to park along Bog Road and as neither the road nor the 

existing parking area is paved (or lined), a confusing and dangerous traffic 

situation exists there on a regular basis. 

We encourage York’s citizens to consider these projects among the Town’s 

highest priorities. As capital projects go these are good ones; they are very 

doable and they have a direct effect on us as residents, and on our children. 

It can be said that it is a problem that we have so many kids participating in 

our youth programs...but what a great problem to have! It’s going to be a 

great summer and with your help, better facilities for everyone.
