What’s new MAYOR’S MESSAGE Kids can test their skills on new bike trail named for Olympian Kristin Armstrong When I was growing up in Boise, my mother often gave me and my siblings some great advice: get out. Her motivation was partly to bring a little peace and quiet to her busy home, but her other goal was to get us active. It worked. The Bieter children spent countless days playing sports, swimming in the Boise River or riding our bikes. Today, kids don’t always receive the encouragement they need to be physically active. According to the Henry J. Kaiser Foundation, kids ages 8 to 18 spend about 7.5 hours a day using entertainment media such as video games, computers and TV. In comparison, kids spend just 25 minutes per day reading books. At the City of Boise, we are working hard to combat inactivity by increasing opportunities to get kids outside. I am pleased to report that neighborhood leaders are also recognizing that they have a role in helping to combat childhood obesity and provide kids with fun, healthy activities close to home. Thanks to a partnership with the Boise Heights Neighborhood Association and local resident Kristin Armstrong, a two-time Olympic gold medal cyclist, this summer we unveiled the city’s first kids-only bike trail. The .6-mile single-track trail rims Boise Hills Park, a partially developed park at 651 Clubview Street in the North End. At the dedication event dozens of kids on bikes of all sizes followed Kristin around the gently rolling trail.
Kristin and the neighbors recognize the importance of amenities like this trail in neighborhood parks. “It was a huge accomplishment when I learned to ride a bike without training wheels at age 5,” said Kristin, who is executive director of community health for the St. Luke’s Health System. “But now these kids are learning to ride bikes at age two using push bikes. I felt that there weren’t any safe places that were not either uphill or downhill, or with people blasting by at super-fast speeds.” The $3,600 project was funded by a City of Boise Neighborhood Reinvestment Grant awarded to the Boise Heights Neighborhood Association. I hope more neighborhood leaders will take advantage of this funding and work with Boise Parks & Recreation to apply for grants that will enhance the health of all the residents in their area. Thank you to Kristin and the Boise Heights Neighborhood Association for taking the initiative to help the children in their neighborhood stay active.

what’s new at BOISE PARKS & RECREATION Comba Park Opens In West Boise A splash pad, playground, pathways and picnic shelter are among the features of Comba Park, which opened Aug. 8 in West Boise. The park at 2995 N. Five Mile Road, is also the new home of the Boise Urban Garden School. BUGS raised private donations to build a new facility that will serve more than 4,500 area youth and their families annually through science, culinary, and environmental garden-based programs. The 3.2-acre site was donated to the City of Boise in 2000 by the family of Dr. Trudy Comba, who operated a preschool at the site. Funding for development of the $522,000 park is provided by the City of Boise. To learn more about Comba Park, please see parks.cityofboise.org and click on “Parks & Locations” or call (208) 608-7600.
$10,000 Grant Helps Community Gardens Grow A Grow Your Garden grant is helping to fund the development of new gardens at parks in West Boise, the Central Bench and Northeast Boise. The $10,000 grant was awarded by the Darden Foundation and the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA). Boise is one of 15 communities to receive a $10,000 grant in 2014. Projects include: a new garden at Liberty Park, 520 N. Liberty, developed in partnership with the Idaho Office of Refugees, expanding an existing garden in a new location at Comba Park, 2995 N. Five Mile, and a new garden and greenhouse at Fort Boise Community Park, 700 Robbins Road. Development of community gardens is one of the wellness recommendations of the 2011 Boise Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan.
Local Beekeepers Help Support Environmental Education The Jim Hall Foothills Learning Center is now a mecca for honey bees thanks to the support of the Treasure Valley Beekeepers Club. The club has helped install and maintain new indoor hives, created a beeyard, and built a new pollinators garden full of bee-friendly plants. Members have also raised $1,000 to support the center. On Sept. 13, you can meet club volunteers who will be teaching and buzzing around at the free, all-ages “All About Bees” event from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Foothills Learning Center, 3188 Sunset Peak Road.

. Cancer Survivor Plaza Under Construction Crews are hard at work on a new Cancer Survivor Plaza in the east end of Julia Davis Park. Funding is provided by a $1 million grant from the R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation for the construction of a plaza with a new paved parking lot, sidewalks, walls with stone veneer, and vibrant landscaping. The grant provides $900,000 for construction and an endowment of $100,000 for maintenance. The Kansas City-based foundation has funded 24 parks throughout the United States and Canada. The parks were created to give hope and courage to newly diagnosed patients, to inspire determination for those who are fighting the disease, and to reduce fear in those who have not had cancer. The project, which is expected to be completed in fall 2014, features a cancer survivor message that is presented in a “Positive Mental Attitude” walk and “Road to Recovery” signage. For construction-related information, please contact Project Manager Toby Norton at tnorton@cityofboise.org or call (208) 608-7635.
Conversion To Geothermal Water Heats The Nat Pools and Showers
A sustainable energy project is enabling Boise Parks & Recreation to use natural geothermal water to heat three pools and domestic water for hand-washing and showers at The Natatorium in East Boise. An agreement with the Boise Warm Springs Water District allows the city to eliminate three natural-gas powered boilers as a primary source of heat. The geothermal project reduces maintenance required to operate the antiquated boilers as well as reduce the emission of toxic gases, according to Levi Conner, crew chief for sports fields and pools. The Natatorium & Hydrotube, 1811 E. Warm Springs Ave., is one of six outdoor municipal pools. The $110,000 project is funded by the City of Boise. The conversion is expected to save the city $7,000-$8,000 in natural gas annually. For more information about the geothermal project, please contact Conner at lconner@cityofboise.org or (208) 384–4201 ext. 223. FALL 2014

YOUTH/TEEN SWING DANCING 9-12 & 12-15 YRS
Learn about the evolution of Lindy Hop, new warm-ups and team-building exercises while exploring different techniques and drills. Lindy Hop has such a dynamic history and reveals so much about our country’s own struggles and triumphs. Frankie Manning, known as one of the founding fathers of Lindy Hop, called it: “...the Hip Hop of its day... whatever party you went to, whenever they were dancin’ they were Lindy Hoppin”!!! For each 8-week session, students will be given material designed to increase their knowledge and skill in the dance as well as perform a choreographed dance at the annual dance recital in May. AGES

YOUTH TENNIS
Children will learn the game of tennis using modified tennis balls and smaller courts to allow for easier learning. Balls are lower in compression: they bounce lower and don’t move as fast. This gives kids time to get to the ball and helps them develop optimal swing patterns. Racquets are sized for small hands and the courts are small and easier to cover. Classes are offered inside the gym at Fort Boise Community Center, 700 Robbins Road. No class Thanksgiving week.

ADULT FENCING CLUB - BEGINNERS/INTRODUCTION 18+ YRS
Come learn the first steps and basic movements of the unique sport of fencing. Coach Sil Lyra, an Olympic Coach at the 2004 Olympics in the Modern Pentathlon, will teach you the principles, strategies and movement of fencing with epee’s. We will not be using the real equipment, but Italian plastic replicas. Perfect for a good introduction to the sport! 90% of this class will be learning through the competition between the participants. Fencing is called “physical chess” because it challenges both the body and the mind. Fencing improves hand-eye coordination, concentration, physical fitness, confidence, self-esteem and respect. A lifelong sport for all ages, abilities and genders. Classes will not meet during the weeks of October 20-24, November 24-28 & December 22-January 2 LEVEL DAYS TIME

ADULT activities SAFETY & SURVIVAL IN REMOTE AREAS WORKSHOPS
CATCHING CRITTERS: PRIMITIVE HUNTING & FISHING TECHNIQUES 16+ YRS (16-17 YRS. MUST ENROLL WITH AN ADULT)
If you camp, hike, hunt or just like to travel and explore the remote backcountry, this series of workshops is perfect for you! Instructor Ray Vizgirdas brings over 30 years of experience as a field biologist and naturalist in the remote backcountry. Ray instructed at institutions throughout the Western United States and Canada (including BSU) and has authored several books on ecology and ethnobotany. These seasonal workshops introduce skills, knowledge, and demonstrate attitudes to encourage sound planning and preparation for any trips you take into the mountains and deserts of Idaho. If plans go wrong, the safety and survival information gained in these courses could help prevent a mishap from becoming a tragedy. Vegetation, climate, skills and information vary from season to season; sign up for one series, or come back each season! Classes meet at the Foothills Learning Center for classroom exercises then walk/hike to nearby locations for field exercises. We’ll take brief breaks throughout the day. Bring a lunch, water bottle and snack. The Foothills Learning Center is located at 3188 Sunset Peak Rd. Take 8th St. north through Boise’s North End. From the end of the pavement travel 1/3 mile farther. Any questions please contact Clay Lee 608-7684.
While the idea of getting rescued is the name of the game -- and once the basic needs of shelter, water, cutting edges, and fire are met -- procuring food is a priority. In the workshop we will explore several methods of “making meat” using passive and active hunting tools such as snares, deadfalls, bolas, and rabbit sticks. You’ll learn several trigger mechanisms that can be used for snares and deadfalls, as well as primitive fishing line and tackle. We will also discuss the life history and ecology of several wildlife species; birds, small mammals, herps (amphibians), and insects. We will also talk about the legal ramifications of trapping, and wildlife diseases. WE WILL NOT BE catching/trapping animals, this class is designed for demonstration/discussion purposes only in the event of extreme survival scenarios. AGES DAYS TIME

THE BASICS 101 16+ YRS (16-17 YRS. MUST ENROLL WITH AN ADULT)
Relying on classroom lecture, slideshow presentation, and demonstrations, we will examine the fundamental knowledge needed to deal with backcountry emergencies. Topics include: priorities and essential skills; calories and the importance of water; short- versus long-term survival; psychological, physiological, and environmental stresses; hypothermia; clothing and emergency shelters; emergency fire starting; basic navigation and signaling for rescue; mountain and high-altitude concerns; what’s involved from Search and Rescue perspective; developing a personalized emergency kit; and the top 6 “need to know” useful plants in the area. Demonstrations will include: fire by friction, twisting plant fiber into cordage, net making, and field expedient stone tools. *This class is not a pre-requisite but a foundation for the series; some topics will be repeated in lesser detail in future classes.

Greenbelt Survey – Sept. 16 and 20

Park Ambassadors
The Park Ambassador program is growing in popularity, and BPR is growing with it! We have recently added two new parks — Julia Davis and the Boise Depot — to our list of ambassador sites. Ambassadors serve as liaisons between park users and the department. They report maintenance needs, promote proper park use and share information with park users. They may also share their C unique hobbies and skills through special tours and education programs. The program revolves around the City’s most popular parks, including Ann Morrison, KathrynM Albertson, Marianne Williams, Veterans Memorial Parks, and Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve. In coming months, look for the program at Morris Hill and Pioneer cemeteries, and the future EstherY Simplot Park. CM MY
