In our last issue I told you about the renovation of Tompkins Park and how it would recall Bloomingdale’s agricultural history. It gives me great pleasure to report that the opening ceremony was very well attended and the park has been received enthusiastically by all. The guests included Charles Franzen, who is pictured on a historical information board at the tender age of 3 and is a lifelong resident of Bloomingdale; the family of Harold Tompkins, the park’s namesake and former District 13 superintendent; Buzz Puccio and members of the Bloomingdale Historical Society, without whose assistance the accuracy of the information boards would not have been possible. Please stop by the park and let us know what you think. Next in line for a renovation is Circle Park. As I informed you previously, those plans were dramatically scaled back when the governor suspended payment of a grant we were awarded the year before, taking away 50% of what was proposed in the original plans. In other exciting news, the Park District is now the proud owner of a beautiful, new 14-passenger accessible bus for use in transporting seniors, summer campers and more to various locations. It will also be used whenever possible for all other programs requiring transport and will save rental costs previously incurred. This vehicle features seat restraints and fold-down child seats at every position in addition to a wheel chair lift and was acquired through a lease-to-purchase agreement in order to fit it into our budget. I am sure you’ll see it at various times and places throughout the community. If you’ll recall, in my last message, I attempted to impress upon you the impact the state budget impasse is having on us as well as all of your local units of government. As this goes to press, Bloomingdale Park District’s tax rate (0.4225) is ranked 24th of 32 DuPage County park districts. In comparison with similarlysized districts, Roselle is 9th (0.5897) and West Chicago is 17th (0.5054). The full list is available on our website. How we do so much for so little is a testament to our administrative staff, whose budget is trimmed with more skill than a world class butcher. In turn, our supervisors oversee a group of dedicated employees that make sure all of our stakeholders receive the attention and care they expect. Your satisfaction and enjoyment is their motivation. Visit us to see the fruit of their efforts. Have fun! Sincerely yours, Sebastian “Buzz” Puccio President Bloomingdale Park District Board of Commissioners The Board of Commissioners meets at 7 p.m. in the community room of the Johnston Recreation Center. The public is invited to attend. Schedules, minutes and agendas are available online at www. bloomingdaleparks.org. The 8th Annual 50 Men Who Cook returns 6 to 8 p.m., September 24 at Hilton/ Chicago Indian Lakes Resort. The event features 50 local men demonstrating and showing off their cooking prowess.

The Bloomingdale Park District is committed to conducting its recreation programs and activities in a safe manner and holds the safety of participants in high regard. The Bloomingdale Park District continually strives to reduce such risks and insists that all participants follow safety rules and instructions that are designed to protect the participant’s safety. However, participants and parents/guardians of minors registering for the above listed programs/activities must recognize that there is an inherent risk of injury when choosing to participate in recreational activities/programs. You are solely responsible for determining if you and/or your minor child/ward are physically fit and/or skilled for the activities contemplated by this agreement. It is always advisable, especially if the participant is pregnant, disabled in any way or recently suffered an illness, injury or impairment, to consult a physician before undertaking any physical activity. WARNING OF RISK Recreational activities are intended to challenge and engage the physical, mental and emotional resources of each participant. Despite careful and proper preparation, instruction, medical advice, conditioning and equipment, there is still a risk of serious injury when participating in any recreational activity. Understandably, not all hazards and dangers can be foreseen. Depending on the particular activity, participants must understand that certain risks, dangers and injuries due to inclement weather, slip and falls, poor skill level or conditioning, carelessness, horseplay, unsportsmanlike conduct, premises defects, inadequate or defective equipment, inadequate supervision, instruction or officiating, and all other circumstances inherent to indoor and outdoor recreational activities exist. In this regard, it must be recognized that it is impossible for the Bloomingdale Park District to guarantee absolute safety.
