What Do You Want to<br />
be When You Grow Up?<br />
Can you imagine comparing the<br />
importance of a Marshwood –<br />
<strong>York</strong> football game to being an<br />
astronaut getting ready to board a<br />
Russian Spaceship enroute to the<br />
International Space Station? Well,<br />
when you’re sixteen that game is<br />
about as big as it gets, isn’t it?<br />
I guess that tells us that everything<br />
you do in life is bigger than big at<br />
the time, and that the choices and<br />
decisions you make now can have an<br />
impact on the rest of your life, so…..<br />
Reach for the moon…..or in Chris<br />
Cassidy’s case…the International<br />
Space Station!<br />
It’s all about focus and the desire<br />
“<br />
4 days until launch, and<br />
I’m starting to get pretty<br />
fired up. It’s the same<br />
kind of feeling as the<br />
week prior to a big<br />

football game!<br />

to succeed. If you plan to win, your<br />
dedication to the game plan and<br />
your desire to be the best you can<br />
be, can be achieved.<br />
It just takes hard work, discipline,<br />
confidence, self esteem, and trust.<br />
Life’s greatest lessons are often<br />
learned through a competitive<br />
environment. The belief is that if<br />
failure exists; it comes from not<br />
realizing how close you were<br />
to success when you gave up.<br />
Chris played football on <strong>York</strong><br />
Fields….just like you.<br />
Chris played basketball in <strong>York</strong><br />
Gyms…just like you.<br />
Chris played youth baseball at the<br />
elementary school, middle school and<br />
high school….just like you.<br />
And he dreamed …. Just like you.<br />
So whatever you dream can be<br />
become a reality….<br />
Chris is our home town hero and<br />
someone who proves that life lessons<br />
learned on the field, the court,<br />
and in the classroom can carry you<br />
anywhere you want to go.<br />
Most importantly if you set your<br />
mind to it, you really can do it!<br />
Work hard, play hard and someday<br />
you can say…. Mission accomplished!<br />
Life. Be in it!

<strong>York</strong> <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation <strong>Summer</strong> <strong>2013</strong><br />
Message from the Director<br />
The <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation Departments responsibilities include the<br />
operations and maintenance of public buildings, parks, beaches and<br />
recreation facilities as well as school and community athletic fields<br />
and green spaces. The most notable of parks are Cape Neddick Light<br />
Station (Nubble Light) and the Mount Agamenticus Conservation<br />
Area. We administer a comprehensive community recreation<br />
program and oversee the operations of the Senior Citizens Center.<br />
The Department does receive support from tax dollars, however<br />
much of our funding comes from user fees, outside sponsorships<br />
and department fundraising.<br />
Like that of the private sector the last few years have been<br />
difficult for Town agencies. The struggling economy has tightened<br />
budgets and put off needed improvements and projects. While it<br />
often seems like the right thing to do at the time these things have<br />
a way of circling around and costing more in the long run. I believe<br />
it is important to be conservative, however it’s also important to<br />
maintain the course in the best interest of the community.<br />
The <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation Department has proposed two capital<br />
projects for the May referendum. The first is the replacement of the<br />
Public Restroom Facility on Long Sands Beach and the second is the<br />
construction of a multipurpose athletic field at the Bog Road Athletic<br />
Complex. Both of these projects are important to the community<br />
and I encourage your support.<br />
The Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region has come a long<br />
way since the early years of the program. We have transitioned<br />
from a rundown, dilapidated old ski area with no clear direction to<br />
what we have today…A well thought out, attractive destination that<br />
boosts the local economy. The region provides town residents and<br />
tourists alike with a unique outdoor experience greatly adding to the<br />
quality of life for those fortunate enough to call <strong>York</strong> home.<br />
Now, we are faced with a major challenge in this 13 th year of<br />
management. Limited funding is marginalizing our capability to<br />
provide stewardship and meet our community’s expectations.<br />
Despite increasing challenges, we are committed to continuing to<br />
offer this wonderful region and experience to the more than 40,000<br />
yearly visitors and their families. In addition, it is our goal to continue<br />
developing the “Learning Lodge” which has received a great deal<br />
of praise as an informative and fun filled environmental education<br />
center. Presently, all school groups from preschool through high<br />
school visit the lodge and/or immediate summit area on coordinated<br />
field trips. Many existing interpretive panels and other displays<br />
help to open their eyes to the biodiversity, watersheds, and unique<br />
trail systems that exist at Mount Agamenticus. To further meet<br />
community needs, we are continuing to improve the new summit<br />
trail designed with the capability to provide access to everyone from<br />
small tykes to individuals with disabilities.<br />

A<br />
A<br />
A<br />
Committee has focused discussions on the FY 14 conservation<br />
budget. Though we have been very fortunate to have Steering<br />
Committee partner support to date, total contributions will not be<br />
as much as previous years. As a result we are facing a significant<br />
shortfall. This is in part due to the loss of Maine Department of<br />
Inland Fisheries & Wildlife’s (MDIFW) contribution through the<br />
Maine Outdoor Heritage Fund. The last year we received funding<br />
from MDIFW was in FY 2011. The Nature Conservancy has also been<br />
forced to scale back their contribution in recent years due to their<br />
own budget shortfalls. Though they remain very supportive of our<br />
work, they are not able to commit a firm pledge for FY14. While we<br />
have submitted another application to the Maine Department of<br />
Conservation’s Recreational Trails Program (RTP), a funding source<br />
that has supported the Mount A seasonal work force for most of the<br />
last 13 years, we know this is not a reliable source of funding and<br />
they too have experienced federal cuts in recent years. The reality is<br />
while we have been extremely successful leveraging support for the<br />
Mount A program in the past through our partners and grants, these<br />
resources are no longer adequate or reliable, leaving us to fund the<br />
trail maintenance and remediation program locally. It is a testament<br />
to the value of the program that we were able to secure outside<br />
funding for so many years while competing with other worthy causes<br />
seeking the same support.<br />
Mount Agamenticus is extremely important to <strong>York</strong> and funding<br />
the Coordinator’s position is the most important thing we can do<br />
to serve our community. We have made incredible progress due<br />
to Robin’s stewardship and her contributions are the most critical<br />
element to our current success. It would be a significant setback if<br />
her position was not fully funded. Surveys indicate that Mount A. is a<br />
primary destination for visitors from both nearby and afar. Each year<br />
visitor numbers increase greatly, despite minimum advertising. These<br />
visitors add to the local economy when they utilize local businesses<br />
and reinforce the identity of <strong>York</strong> as “the Gateway to Maine.” Residents<br />
continue to benefit from having such a rare jewel in their back yard<br />
and enjoy living up to the adage “the way life should be.” I strongly<br />
recommend that the Town invest in this tremendous asset and<br />
increase their contribution to $ 45,144, utilizing partner contributions<br />
to cover the shortfall in funding the Coordinator’s position. In the<br />
future it will make sense to fully fund this position, utilize partner<br />
contributions to fund the seasonal salaries required for remediation<br />
work and program support, and develop a fundraising strategy,<br />
assuring this community resource is sustained into the future.<br />
Respectfully,<br />
Michael Sullivan
PaRkS, BeacheS anD athletic FielDS<br />
We live in a community that has extraordinary natural resources. From the<br />
sweeping views at the summit of Mount Agamenticus, to our ocean front<br />
parks, harbors, beaches and the famous Nubble Lighthouse we are constantly<br />
reminded of “the way life should be”. School and municipal playgrounds<br />
and athletic fields are also available for more active recreational<br />
opportunities either through organized activities or impromptu visits.<br />
As residents we sometimes miss the true value of these community assets.<br />
We have a tendency to think that schools are for school children only and<br />
our parks and beaches are for tourists. This summer how about you get<br />
your exercise by walking the High School track, have your Saturday morning<br />
coffee on the rocks at Sohier Park, take your grandchildren to the Bog<br />
Road Playground, try surfing at Long Sands beach or take the family for a<br />
picnic and hike at Mount Agamenticus.<br />
We at the <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation Department take our responsibility as<br />
stewards of these properties seriously and we work to manage and maintain<br />
them in a way that is both responsible and sustainable. Our maintenance<br />
crews will be out doing our thing this summer and we hope to see<br />
you out doing yours!<br />
Safe and Responsible turf Management<br />
The <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation Department has been practicing organic turf<br />
care on school and municipal athletic fields and grounds since 2007. We<br />
have had great success maintaining even our high end turf fields without<br />
relying on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic fertilizers amend the<br />
soil with each application, much like you might add compost or manure to<br />
your garden each season. We add organic material, nutrients and microorganisms<br />
to the soil with each application. Synthetic fertilizers act similar<br />
to anabolic steroids: they cause rapid growth with quick results; however<br />
the results fade away quickly when the applications cease. By feeding the<br />
soil instead of the plant we are building a diverse ecosystem below the<br />
plant able to tolerate stressful conditions and sustain healthy turf safely,<br />
for generations to come.<br />
Beach information<br />
Our lifeguard program begins on June 22nd and runs through September<br />
2nd. Guards will be on duty every day between 9:30 AM and 4:30 PM and<br />
will be stationed at Long Sands, Short Sands and Harbor Beach.<br />
The restroom facilities at Long Sands and Harbor Beach will be open daily<br />
from May 4th through Columbus Day. Short Sands restrooms will be open<br />
from mid April through Columbus Day.<br />
Resident parking stickers are available in the Clerk’s office at the <strong>York</strong><br />
Town Hall. Stickers are $35 each and $15 each for seniors. They are<br />
effective from May 15th through October 15th and are good for <strong>York</strong><br />
Harbor Beach, Long Sands Beach, Cape Neddick Beach, <strong>York</strong> Beach Ball<br />
Field and the Wiggly Bridge.<br />
The Town of <strong>York</strong> participates in the Maine Healthy Beaches Program. This<br />
is part of a larger statewide effort to insure healthy, informed opportunities<br />
for swimming and other recreational water activities along the coast<br />
of Maine. Our beaches are tested weekly at various locations in order to<br />
provide a standardized quality-assured monitoring and notification system.<br />
For more information about <strong>York</strong>’s beaches you may call the <strong>Parks</strong><br />
and Recreation office or visit the Maine Healthy Beaches web site at www.<br />

The Mount Agamenticus region is a natural treasure and an invaluable<br />
resource for wildlife, water, and recreation! The three hilled area is<br />
home to vernal pool species, rare plants and animals and is the heart<br />
of five watersheds that provide drinking water for southern <strong>York</strong><br />
County residents. It is also a recreational destination point for over<br />
40,000 residents and visitors annually. It boasts scenic vistas, large<br />
unfragmented forests, biological richness, and miles of well marked<br />
and maintained trails.<br />
State, local and non-profit landowners work together to protect this<br />
land and to manage recreational opportunities while conserving wildlife<br />
habitat and water quality. These landowners make up the Mount<br />
Agamenticus Steering Committee and include: the Towns of <strong>York</strong> and<br />
South Berwick, The <strong>York</strong> Water District, Maine<br />
Dept. of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, Great<br />
Works Regional Land Trust, <strong>York</strong> Land Trust,<br />
and The Nature Conservancy. Together,<br />
these partners strive to maintain safe,<br />
responsible, and enjoyable public<br />
access to Mount A’s trail system<br />
without compromising the<br />
integrity of the area’s<br />
ecologically significant<br />
habitat.<br />

Summit Scenic Views and One-mile loop trail<br />
Amazing summit views of the eastern seacoast, inland ponds and distant<br />
mountain ranges have been restored and enhanced and significant cleanup<br />
work occurred at the summit over the last field season. Thanks to the<br />
hard work and dedication of the Conservation Crew and many volunteers,<br />
all existing trails that access the summit have been re-routed, marked and<br />
are ready for use.<br />
This is part of a larger effort that will provide important habitat for<br />
many wildlife species as the cleared area develops into beneficial early<br />
successional shrubland or young forest. Shrubland habitats contain<br />
thickets of bushes and young trees mixed with scattered grasses and<br />
wildflowers. Many species of wildlife require young growth areas for food<br />
Photo by Michelle Gorayeb<br />
and shelter. There has been a drastic decline of shrubland over the last 100<br />
years due in large part to land-use change (farm abandonment), human<br />
development, fewer large beaver impoundments, fire suppression, and<br />
natural forest succession. As a result, those species of plants, mammals,<br />
birds, amphibians, and reptiles that require this habitat for survival are<br />
becoming increasingly rare. The summit is an ideal location to promote<br />
this habitat as it is where many visitors begin their exploration of the region<br />
and where we can easily showcase successful land conservation efforts.<br />
In addition, a new 1.0 mile summit loop trail has been completely<br />
mapped and identified. This trail is currently accessible by foot traffic<br />
and contained within the summit open canopy area. It will guide you<br />
through the open field and shrubland, connect with re-established trail<br />
heads, and provide resting and viewing opportunities. It is designed<br />
with the intention to become handicap accessible (as funding becomes<br />
available) and will be upgraded with a packed crushed stone and gravel<br />
or boardwalk surface. Until then, come explore the new path by following<br />
the temporary trail markers!<br />

This program is an all-volunteer effort that provides community members<br />
and trail users with an opportunity to become involved in conserving and<br />
maintaining the many miles of multiple use trails threaded throughout<br />
the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Region. Volunteers can help by<br />
“adopting” a favorite trail and take part in its upkeep. Adopters assist the<br />
Conservation Crew by monitoring, maintaining and enhancing trails and<br />
trailhead facilities. Volunteers contribute at their own level and on their<br />
own schedule with a minimum requirement of 2 trail working days a year.<br />

Baby Boomer Kayaking<br />
Recreational Kayaking is said to be the “perfect sport for the not so sporty”;<br />
you do not need to be a skilled athlete to be a kayaker. It’s an ideal activity<br />
for young or old, fit or not. Men and women can be athletic equals in a recreational<br />
kayak. It’s easy to learn (most get the knack in just a few minutes),<br />
requires almost no coordination and not much muscle, and is exhilarating and<br />
completely relaxing….all at the same time! Kayaking is fun exercise! Lots of<br />
baby boomers walk for exercise but what most lack is upper body strength and<br />
walking doesn’t provide that. The usual cure is weight and strength training at<br />
the gym, but for most that is not very fun. Kayaking gives you a good upper<br />
body work out with varying intensity levels as controlled by you. You can burn<br />
calories by paddling at a quick pace or unwind with a few easy strokes every<br />
now and then. Kayaking also offers a unique outdoor experience… you are gliding<br />
across the water at eye level with nature! There is nothing to be intimidated<br />
by, our qualified staff will provide you with an introduction to kayaking and a<br />
safety session that will have you benefitting from, and loving this sport in no<br />
time. This program will meet on Thursday afternoons from 1:00pm-2:00pm at<br />
Strawberry Island on Rte. 103. The first of four sessions will begin on July 11th<br />
and will run through August 1st. Due to the number of kayaks available, class<br />
size is limited. We encourage any interested paddlers to register early.<br />

Nordic Fitness Walking<br />
Burn 40% more calories than walking alone<br />
4 Week Session<br />
With the beautiful warmer weather here, wouldn’t it be nice to get<br />
outside and burn extra calories while enjoying a smart physical outdoor<br />
activity with maximum health benefits? Nordic Walking is easy to learn<br />
and best of all it combines fun with convenience. Nordic Walking is like<br />
fitness walking with specialized walking poles. Our starter clinic is perfect<br />
for all ages and abilities so now is the perfect time to discover what<br />
Finland fitness buffs have known for years. Nordic Walking burns up to<br />
40% more calories, increases upper body strength, improves balance,<br />
and reduces stress on your hips, knees and spine. Our classes will meet<br />
on Long Sands Beach in front of the Bath House and will begin with<br />
information on the history of Nordic Walking, pole fitting, and then we<br />
will head out on our first Nordic Walk. Each walking session will explore<br />
a new walking location decided upon by our group. This is a wonderful<br />
and safe way to experience new walking paths together such as the Rachel<br />
Carson Wildlife Refuge, Laudholm Farm, Steedman Woods/Wiggly<br />
Bridge, and Vaughn Woods. There will be two levels to choose from<br />
and we will do our best to accommodate those who would prefer to<br />
switch levels.<br />
active Walkers level – This is a session for active walkers without<br />
physical limitations. This session will be held from 7:30am to 8:30am<br />
leisurely Paced level – This session will be great if you prefer a slower pace<br />
or if you have physical limitations. This session will be held from 9:00am to<br />
10:00am.<br />
Poles will be provided by, and returned to, the instructor at each session.<br />
Bio: Lauren DeLong is the owner of <strong>York</strong> Nordic and a certified Nordic Walking<br />
instructor. Lauren’s passion for Nordic Walking began when her mother<br />
had hip replacement surgery and the surgeon recommended Nordic Walking<br />
as a way for her mother to maintain balance while strengthening her hip during<br />
recovery. She teaches Nordic Walking around Southern Maine on both<br />
Long Sands Beach in <strong>York</strong> and on Ogunquit beach. She has designed and<br />
manufactured her own poles which will be provided for use during the clinic.<br />
www.<strong>York</strong>nordic.com is a great resource on the history of Nordic Walking,<br />
the scientific research behind the benefits, as well as helpful tips on proper<br />
form. She is excited to share her passion for this sport with others.<br />

Hoe He’e nalu – Stand up Paddle Surfing – 10 years and up<br />
The Hawaiian translation means stand up paddle surfing. In Hawaiian, “hoe”<br />
means paddle... “he’e” means to surf or slide...and “nalu” means wave.<br />
You don’t have to possess a Hawaiian royalty bloodline or be King Xtreme Laird<br />
to participate in the rebirth of this old school surfing sport popularized by the<br />
Waikiki “beach boys”...who used outrigger canoe paddles to surf waves standing<br />
up...but, it’s not just about surfing...paddling and GLIDE is what ties this sport<br />
to the ancient Polynesians...and is why world class surfers have embraced it...<br />
This program is offered as an introduction to the sport which will give you an<br />
excellent foundation, and teach you the skills needed to get started. You will<br />
learn the basics of paddling, turning and if the conditions are right you will<br />
have the opportunity to tackle some waves. This is a great workout and is an<br />
extremely fun and addictive sport that can be enjoyed by any age group with<br />
or without any previous experience. Trust us! You’ll be hooked!<br />

Introduction to Athletic YOGA – For “Yoga Shy Guys”<br />
15 years and up<br />
Are you a “yoga shy guy”? Or do you think yoga isn’t a real workout? I understand<br />
your apprehensions. I sulked to my first yoga class simply to quiet my nagging<br />
wife. I quickly found athletic yoga to be one of the most effective workouts<br />
around. Thru yoga, I experienced lasting relief to my previously chronic back<br />
pain and I lost 40 pounds. Yoga alleviates everything from a stiff back to low<br />
energy and reduces stress. If your hesitation is that you are NOT FLEXIBLE then<br />
all the more reason you should be doing it. Weight lifting and sports, without<br />
stretching, shorten the muscles and pull the skeletal system out of alignment<br />
leading to aches and pains. Yoga brings fluid movement back into stiff joints,<br />
lengthens muscles and allows you to return to proper skeletal alignment.<br />
In this 4-week beginner series, you will be clearly guided in the safe execution<br />
of athletic yoga postures. You will increase the range of motion of your<br />
joints, increase the strength and flexibility of your muscles while releasing<br />
physical and mental tensions. Wear comfortable workout clothes and bare<br />
feet. Yoga mats provided<br />

with the great game of basketball. Each session will be designed for<br />
specific age groups and will include 25 hours of fundamentals and skills.<br />
The intent of the camp is to keep players on the right track in learning<br />
the game. Players will be challenged by age appropriate drills and games<br />
designed to improve their skills while still keeping the game of basketball<br />
a fun activity. The support staff is made up of former and present high<br />
school and current college players who went through much of the same<br />
routines when they were younger, giving credibility to the activities. Our<br />
staff loves what they do and the players will quickly pick up on that enthusiasm.<br />
Progressions and games will also be a part of the camp atmosphere<br />
along with daily prizes and t-shirts. Campers will meet each morning at<br />
9:00 am, at the <strong>York</strong> High School gymnasium and will head home at 2:00<br />
pm. Campers will be asked to bring a bag lunch and drinks.<br />

Back by popular demand and with a new twist! On Monday, August 12th,<br />
junior golfers ages 8 – 17 are invited to join us at beautiful Cape Neddick<br />
Country Club on Shore Road for some scramble format tournament play. For<br />
those who are not familiar with the scramble format, groups will be formed<br />
(you can register as individuals or teams), each player tees off on each hole.<br />
The best of the tee shots is selected and all players play their second shots<br />
from that spot. The best of the second shots is determined, then all play their<br />
third shots from that spot, and so on until the ball is holed. We think that<br />
this new format will be fun for all levels of young golfers and we encourage<br />
players to sign up and/or put your teams together early as we expect the<br />
tournament to fill quickly. Tournament play is set to get underway with<br />
pre-assigned tee times (you will be notified) beginning at 10:00 am. Players<br />
who register as individuals will be placed on an age appropriate team.<br />
Awards will be given to teams and individuals in age categories. Following<br />
your round of golf, players are invited to participate in a putting contest. A<br />
cookout lunch will be served to all participants. All are eligible for great raffle<br />
prizes. Although the tournament is open to all levels, golf course experience<br />
is required. This should not be your child’s first round of golf. We welcome<br />
any parent “caddies” to serve as official scorekeepers. We hope that you will<br />
make plans to join us for this exciting day of golf play.<br />

Although our program is geared primarily towards horseback riding, our day<br />
camp is great for families who want their children to experience the great<br />
outdoors, connect with Nature, and the endless educational activities unique<br />
to the Maine farm. This is a great way to prepare your child for residential camp.<br />
We offer an exciting program sure to have your child fully engaged and<br />
delighted while providing them with memories for a lifetime. Horseback<br />
riding is not only fun, but is a disciplined sport that will help build your<br />
child’s confidence and self-reliance. Our staff is qualified to teach a wide<br />
range of riders from young beginners to advanced and showing students.<br />
We consider each student’s skill, confidence, readiness to learn, and size,<br />
in assigning appropriate mounts, riding groups, and instructors.<br />
During our one-week camp session we will instruct your child to horseback<br />
ride in daily, one-on-one lessons tailored to his/her individual needs. We<br />
give each student a platform to take their individual riding experience as<br />
far as they would like.<br />
We have a wide-ranging mix of campers from all over the Northeast – and<br />
far beyond, with varying riding experience from first-timers to experienced<br />
show jumpers. One thing all of our campers have in common is that they<br />
all LOVE HORSES!<br />

HoeHe’e nalu – Stand up Paddle Surfing – ages 10 and Up<br />
The Hawaiian translation means stand up paddle surfing. In Hawaiian,<br />
“hoe” means paddle... “he’e” means to surf or slide...and “nalu”<br />
means wave.<br />
You don’t have to possess a Hawaiian royalty bloodline or be King<br />
Xtreme Laird to participate in the rebirth of this old school surfing<br />
sport popularized by the Waikiki “beach boys”...who used outrigger<br />
canoe paddles to surf waves standing up...but, it’s not just about<br />
surfing...paddling and GLIDE is what ties this sport to the ancient<br />
Polynesians...and is why world class surfers have embraced it...<br />
This program is offered as an introduction to the sport which will<br />
give you an excellent foundation, and teach you the skills needed<br />
to get started. You will learn the basics of paddling, turning and if<br />
the conditions are right you will have the opportunity to tackle some<br />
waves. This is a great workout and is an extremely fun and addictive<br />
sport that can be enjoyed by any age group with or without any<br />
previous experience. Trust us! You’ll be hooked!<br />
Any student that takes a class with Liquid Dreams Surf Shop can<br />
receive a 10% discount on wetsuits and all accessories plus $50.00 off<br />
the purchase of a board.<br />

TENNIS - OUR KIDS TENNIS PROGRAMS…<br />
it’S all aBOUt FUn!<br />
Norm Martinen has been enjoying tennis for most of his life and is certified<br />
as a tennis professional through the USPTA (United States Professional<br />
Tennis Association). Norm enjoys teaching tennis to both adults and<br />
children, and will be starting his fifth year as head coach for the <strong>York</strong><br />
High School girls tennis team, <strong>York</strong> Middle School Team, and as a tennis<br />
instructor at The Wentworth Country Club in Rye, NH.<br />
“I’m a strong believer that experience and knowledge are important in<br />
teaching tennis. But I feel these alone will not give you a successful tennis<br />
program. Fun, motivation and enthusiasm are equally important, and is the<br />
recipe I use every time I’m on a tennis court” It works and it’s contagious.<br />
Having fun is our #1 goal in all of our Kid’s Tennis Programs. Yes, you will improve<br />
your tennis game by working on the fundamentals, forehand, backhand, volley<br />
and serve, however, even more important will be the fun your child will have in<br />
going to “jail”, or playing rip your face off…wipe out…back of the bus…around<br />
the world…or the now famous Beach Baseball Tennis. It is a known fact that<br />
kids learn faster if they are having fun…so fun we do have!<br />
Don’t miss out! Sign up your tennis player for one of our fun filled summer<br />
sessions. Your child will thank you…<br />

ages 8 to 14<br />
There is more to loving a dog than hugging it. Enrich the bond<br />
between kids and their dogs at this fun filled summer camp set in<br />
the countryside of <strong>York</strong> at “It’s a dog’s world.” One on one, children<br />
can learn to handle their dogs with confidence using “Positive<br />
Reinforcement” training. In this course they will work with their<br />
dogs to train for good manners and tricks. Games, grooming, proper<br />
canine care and the sport of agility will also be introduced. Mutual<br />
respect and responsible dog ownership will be emphasized. All dogs<br />
must be pre-qualified for temperament by “it’s a dog’s world” staff.<br />

Me And My Dog – Sports!<br />
ages 10 to 14 unless the child has completed our first level<br />
Kids and their dogs continue bonding and relationship building and they<br />
learn about the canine sport of Rally, Agility and Scent Work. In Rally, kids<br />
and dogs team up to navigate a course of numbered stations indicating a<br />
variety of manners tasks to perform such as sits, downs, halts, and turns.<br />
Kids and dogs enjoy this sport because they work close together as they<br />
clap, whistle and even sing to their dogs to encourage them through the<br />
course.<br />
Agility is a sport that builds skills in handling dogs over and through a<br />
course of obstacles of ramps, tunnels, jumps and weave poles in a low<br />
pressure positive environment. This is a great way for dogs and kids<br />
to gain confidence and bond.<br />
Scent work is a hot new sport that will teach kids to set up training scenarios<br />
and direct their dog to use dog’s natural ability of scenting to search for<br />
toys or treats. Scent work will burn your dog’s mental and physical energy,<br />
can be done anywhere, and requires no special equipment.<br />
Canine communication, canine care, and positive reinforcement<br />
training will also be covered. Mutual respect and responsible dog<br />
ownership will be emphasized throughout the camp program.<br />

Step Up to CRES!<br />
ages: For students who just finished 2nd grade at VeS<br />
Are you a student who just finished 2nd grade at VES? If so, you’ll be coming to<br />
CRES next year! It’s an exciting time to meet new friends, gain new teachers,<br />
get to know a new principal, and have a whole new world of experiences!<br />
But you may be a bit nervous... How will I find my way around? What<br />
are the teachers like? What will we learn? How do things work in the<br />
cafeteria? Will I have fun?<br />
If you have any of those questions, this camp is for you! We will tour the<br />
school, meet any staff members who are around, discuss what we will<br />
learn in 3rd grade, spend time on the playground (including walking or<br />
running some laps around our track), play some games, and more! There<br />
are so many amazing things that make CRES unique... From “Wake up<br />
and Read” to the “Mile Run” program, Friday assemblies, live studentbroadcasts,<br />
Kids Cabinet, Civil Rights Team, and so much more! I may<br />
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”!<br />
We will also get some healthy exercise in this camp! Parents will drop<br />
you off at VES, and then we will hike through the woods to CRES. When<br />
we finish up our activities at CRES, we will hike back to VES, where your<br />
parents will pick you up. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, and pack<br />
water and a snack!<br />
This fun introduction to CRES is sure to make your start to 3rd grade more<br />
relaxing and enjoyable. What are you waiting for? Sign up for “Step Up<br />
to CRES!”<br />

The Color Run 5K<br />
…an all new race phenomenon! Vote for <strong>York</strong>!<br />
The Color Run is a unique experience focused less on speed and<br />
more on crazy color fun with friends and family. Color runners come<br />
from all different ages, shapes, sizes, and speeds; but everyone toeing<br />
the start line has a blast. Whether you are a casual morning mall<br />
walker, or an Olympic athlete, the 3 miles of the Color Run course<br />
will be the most memorable and colorful run of your life! There are<br />
two simple rules to the Color Run 1. White shirts are mandatory at<br />
the start line for ALL participants and 2. Color plastered everything at<br />
the finish! Runners/walkers begin the 5K at the start line like a brand<br />
new pristine coloring book. By the end, they look like they fell into a<br />
Willy Wonka, tie dyed, vat of colored goodness. As participants reach<br />
each kilometer of the race, they enter a color zone ( yellow, orange,<br />
pink or blue), and are blitzed with 100% natural and safe color. The<br />

to offer skills and drills during the games, and between games. The<br />
last 2 weeks, we will play more competitive ball, with strict ref calls.<br />

From the <strong>York</strong> <strong>Parks</strong> and<br />
Recreation Board<br />
67<br />
You only have to scan the brochure you are holding to see that it’s going<br />
to be a great summer in <strong>York</strong>. All sorts of programs will be taking place for<br />
Seniors and other Adults and for Children and Youth. These programs will<br />
be run all over town from Bog Road to the Beach. We have great facilities in<br />
<strong>York</strong> to support a healthy and active lifestyle and these facilities could take<br />
a great leap forward if enough voters in Town vote to make that happen.<br />
The <strong>Parks</strong> and Recreation Department has proposed two capital projects for<br />
the May 18 referendum. The first is the replacement of the Public Restroom<br />
Facility on Long Sands Beach and the second is the construction of a multipurpose<br />
athletic field at the Bog Road Athletic Complex.<br />
As you probably know, the current restroom facility at Long Sands is completely<br />
inadequate to serve the thousands of people who visit the beach<br />
every day during peak season. The concrete block building has deteriorated<br />
to the point that it will no longer hold paint, has become porous and difficult<br />
to clean. The plumbing is in constant need of repair. The building lacks a<br />
utility room as well as storage space for supplies and equipment. Children’s<br />
changing areas, handicapped accessible bathrooms and a lifeguard/first aid<br />
room are high priorities. This in not just an infrastructure problem, it is a<br />
public health problem and it affects the overall health of the beach. Major<br />
improvements are long overdue and we encourage residents to support this<br />
project at the upcoming referendum.<br />
The other important item for your consideration is the Bog Road fields.<br />
These fields were built in 2001 for school and community programs which<br />
have continued to grow. The addition of lacrosse at all levels and the growth<br />
of Junior Wildcat Football have impacted the fields significantly. Scheduling<br />
has become increasingly difficult and the wear and stress from overuse of<br />
the existing fields is a concern. Shortly after the Bog Road fields were constructed,<br />
it became evident that the parking area was not large enough to<br />
accommodate the number of people using the fields at one time. During the<br />
fall and spring, parking for the soccer and lacrosse programs is inadequate.<br />
Patrons are forced to park along Bog Road and as neither the road nor the<br />
existing parking area is paved (or lined), a confusing and dangerous traffic<br />
situation exists there on a regular basis.<br />
We encourage <strong>York</strong>’s citizens to consider these projects among the Town’s<br />
highest priorities. As capital projects go these are good ones; they are very<br />
doable and they have a direct effect on us as residents, and on our children.<br />
It can be said that it is a problem that we have so many kids participating in<br />
our youth programs...but what a great problem to have! It’s going to be a<br />
great summer and with your help, better facilities for everyone.<br />
