From the County Executive

Summer 2011

Dear Montgomery County Resident:

This issue of the Recreation and Parks Program Guide is filled with exciting classes and

programs. From aquatics to Zumba, there is something for every age and every interest.

If you have young children you will want to check out the summer camp section of the

Guide. Fun-filled and affordable summer camps are located conveniently throughout the

County. Camp activities include magic, arts, nature, sports, theater and dance, just to name

a few. Summer camp is the perfect way to keep children safe and active while they are

enjoying their vacations.

Mark your calendar now for our annual Independence Day celebrations. There will be live

music and spectacular fireworks displays at two locations – Germantown Glory at the

South Germantown Recreation Park and Mid-County Sparkles! at Einstein High School in

Kensington.

On July 9 I hope you will join me for the dedication ceremony at the new Mid-County

Community Center on Queensguard Road in Silver Spring. The 23,000 square foot

center features a multi-use gymnasium, fitness and exercise room, spacious social hall,

senior/community lounge, arts/kiln room and outdoor ball fields. The local community has

been patiently waiting for the opening of this center and the Recreation Department has

worked hard to ensure residents will not be disappointed.

Summer is the perfect time to get out and have fun. What better way than taking advan-

tage of one of these exciting recreational programs or activities. Have a happy, healthy and

relaxing summer, and I hope to see many of you around the County in coming months.

Sincerely,

Isiah Leggett

County Executive

Just for the

Montgomery County is a far different place than it was when the Recreation Department was created in 1953. At that time, Montgomery County had fewer than 200,000 residents.

Since then, Montgomery County has grown to a thriving community of almost 1,000,000. As our County has grown, the needs of its residents have changed, and the Recreation Department has changed to meet those challenges.

We now operate 35 different facilities, including community recreation centers, pools, and senior centers. We offer thousands of recreational programs from arts to zumba to everything in between. Our programs have received national recognition as representing some of the best recreational offerings in the entire country. We are constantly reviewing our programs and services to bring our residents the best recreational opportunities possible.

To reflect Recreation’s continued determination to meet new challenges and serve our community, we are unveiling our new logo. The stylized “r” reflects not only our name, but suggests an active person on the move. We feel that this new logo better reflects our goal of providing ways for our residents to be healthy and active and enjoy life.

One of the first places you will see the new logo is on our newly redesigned website we’re currently working on. Our new website will be available this summer. We think you’ll find our new site makes it easier to find all the great programs, activities, and services we offer. Our website will offer enhanced search features in a clean easy-to-use look. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to visit us this summer at montgomerycountymd.gov/rec. Explore our new website and let us know what you think.

You’ll also find our new logo on our eNewsletter, The RECord. Sign up for the RECord, and each month you’ll receive an eNewsletter highlighting Recreation programs and activities taking place during that month.

ecord ...RAlso new – we’re now on social media! Follow us on Twitter to instantly keep up with Recreation Department events and happenings. Check out our Facebook page for the newest information on Recreation registration and events. Sign up for RecAlerts to receive urgent alert texts about last minute schedule changes in leagues and classes due to inclement weather or other emergency conditions.

We’re even building our facilities differently. Our new Mid-County Community Recreation Center is LEED certified, and includes new green technologies such as a geothermal HVAC system. Check out this new Community Center for yourself at the Mid-County Open house on July 9th. See page 2 for more information.

Incorporating “green” building technologies is only one part of Recreation’s determination to adopt new ways of Going Green. We are in the process of rolling out finger vein scanning for our centers to replace the current Access Card system. Scanning eliminates the need for plastic cards, card making supplies, and card-making machines. We are also using email for receipts and other notices that used to be printed out on paper.

• New logo!• Newly redesigned customer-friendly website!• New monthly eNewsletter!• New social media presence!• New determination to Go Green!

But one thing hasn’t changed since the day we opened our doors is our committment to you. The residents of Montgomery County, are still our top priority. Every day we try to provide new opportunities for you to get active, enjoy life more fully, and most importantly, to have fun.

Competitive ProgramsRockville Montgomery Swim ClubThis year-round, United States Swimming (USAS) affiliated, age group and senior swim team competes through Potomac Valley Swimming (PVS), which is the local swim committee (LSC) for USAS. RMSC offers a rewarding training and competitive experience to swimmers of all ability and interest levels through a schedule of flexible practice times.

Swimmers new to the program must attend a skill assessment and group placement evaluation at the pool of their choice. Coaches will assign practice groups depending on skill level. Swimmers may not begin to practice with their designated group until all registration forms have been completed and all fees have been paid in full. Entry into advanced level groups is available by coaches’ invitation only. Those who participated in the program last year may register only for the group with which they practiced last year.

Food and Wine III Ages 21&Up: It Sure Ain’t Chicken! That’s because it’s not chicken! Its red meat and you won’t have to ask, ‘Where’s the beef?’ We’ll have a good selection of red wines, but there will be some white wines in the mix and probably at least one rose. So much has been written about red meat with red wine that it is difficult to say anything new on the subject, but we shall try to keep ‘mooing’ along.: For sure, red meat, especially a cut cooked on the rare side, is a good match for an elegant red wine that is velvety and smooth yet finishes with firm tannins. But not all red wines are suited to red meat (if you disagree, try a grilled steak, rare, with Chianti). In Argentina, where beef is king, Malbec is often the preferred wine. 1 Sessions $50Instructor: James Davis 307713 Ross Boddy CC 7/1 F 7:00pm -10:00pm

The Potomac River is an amazing waterway that maintains a near-wilderness quality as it flows between Maryland and Virginia to Georgetown and beyond. Each of these trips focuses on a section of the Potomac or a tributary, giving us the time and luxury of taking a closer look at its natural and cultural history.

Honey bees are important crop pollinators in many countries, including the U.S. However, the rate at

which managed colonies fail to survive the winter has increased dramatically in recent years, without any unifying

explanation. We will discuss how advances in the field of genomics have been used to snoop out pos-sible causes of colony collapse dis-

order and better understand other bee diseases. This will include a basic primer on what genomics is and why it has had a profound impact on biology in recent years. We will also learn about the current hypotheses for bee declines that are being tested.

In the 11 years since West Nile virus (WNV) emerged in New York City in 1999, it has spread across North, Central, and South America, and into the Caribbean, causing over 20,000 documented human infections and 1,000 deaths. Our research aims to determine how human land use (deforesta-tion and urbanization) affects WNV transmission. Understanding the influence of urbanization on vi-rus transmission is critical to improving surveillance and control programs and ultimately reducing the impact of this virus on human and wildlife health. Our research includes studying mosquitoes, birds, mammals and microclimates across a set of sites that spans a gradient from intact forest to downtown urban centers in Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

A Better Lake Needwood

in the Works rOCkVille, MD – lake needwood in rock Creek re-

gional park is in the middle of major renovations. in or-

der to clear out the sediment deposited over the years

from rock Creek, the 75-acre lake will be dredged, then

refilled. when completed, the lake will be deeper (bet-

ter boating, fishing and fun!), and the water quality will

improve, too.

Until dredging is completed and the lake is refilled, lake

needwood will be closed to boating, and lake need-

wood boats will be closed (no mooring passes, boat

rentals or permits, or pontoon boat tours). the picnic

areas and playgrounds near the lake are still accessible.

the dredging project will continue through the spring

for project updates. in the meantime, we hope you’ll

visit beautiful little Seneca lake and black Hill boats in

Classes use scaled-down courts and racquets, special balls, and a simplified scoring system, so that kids can quickly learn the basic skills and principles of the game.
