GENERAL INFORMATION
The colder months are a great
time to experience some of our
indoor programs at the Habitat,
our new environmental center
located within Southdale Park.
We will be offering classes on
gardening, recycling and several
special events including a book
club and science night. Turn
to page 11 for more details.
The Habitat is also home to
several educational exhibits
sponsored by Waste Management, Vectren, WDTN,
Dayton Foundation and Kettering Parks Foundation.
The interactive exhibits will be used to enhance the
educational experience for students participating in
the City’s land lab program. New this year will be
the Spontaneous Adventure Programs throughout the
winter. Check out our Facebook page for announcements!
With the Winter Olympics right around the corner,
you too can learn to skate like an Olympian! Our
award winning and nationally recognized ice arena
staff can help both beginner and casual skaters sharpen
their skills through various lessons, drop-in skates and
special events. Turn to page 39 for a full schedule of
free skating events.
We held several meetings with residents to discuss
plans for our first new park in many years, Gentile
Park, located on the old DESC property. The interactive
meetings and the online survey results have provided
us with great feedback and an outstanding concept plan
for the park. You can view the new plan on our website
www.ketteringoh.org, Gentile Park Project.
Our amazing indoor facilities are a great way to stay
on track with your fitness routine once the colder
temperatures arrive. The fitness centers, aquatic facility,
tracks and gymnasium provide many incredible
recreation opportunities for you and/or your family to
be active this winter. If you are just getting started, you
may want to discuss a personal training package that
would be specifically geared toward your fitness and
wellness needs. Our City fitness and wellness programs
are extremely affordable and flexible for any goals you
may be striving for this winter. Check our website for
more information on programs and schedules.
As always, please contact me at 296-2454 or
marybeth.thaman@ketteringoh.org. I would love to
hear how your family enjoys the recreation and cultural
opportunities in Kettering.
All the best,

Mission Statement
Kettering Mayor & COUNCIL
VISION STATEMENT
We strive to enhance the quality of life for all residents and
to distinguish Kettering as the community of choice.
Kettering Parks Foundation
The City of Kettering is committed to providing
recreational opportunities to all Kettering area residents
without regard to economic circumstances. For
this reason, a financial assistance program
is available for qualifying families or
individuals through funds provided from
the Kettering Parks Foundation. Currently
the Foundation is raising money through the
Reach for the Sky campaign. We hope to be able
to provide scholarships in 2014. More information
on the Parks Foundation can be found on the website at:
www.ketteringparksfoundation.org.
is my class canceled due to poor
weather?
When Kettering City Schools are closed due to inclement
weather, all registered programs that occur before 5 p.m. are
canceled. A decision will be made by 3 p.m. whether evening
classes will be canceled. Please call our hotline at 296-3282
for up-to-date weather cancellations.
A great gift idea for any occasion! Purchase gift certificates at
any recreation facility for most of the Parks, Recreation and
Cultural Arts programs.
Advisory board
Mike Beerbower, Ex-Officio Member
Kettering Arts Council
Ken Schomaker, Ex-Officio Member CIL Senior Advisory Board
Access to All
If you are a person with a disability and would like more
information regarding accessibility of the facility please call
296-2587. Patrons who require assistance to participate in
our Drop-in activities are required to pay admission, but their
attendants are admitted at no charge.
Fair share policy
The Kettering resident or person working in Kettering makes
a significant contribution to the financing and operation of
the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. The City
property tax and income tax are paid whether or not the
individual participates or uses the facilities of the department.
The fair share concept is intended to apportion to non-residents
an equalized fee, so that they contribute to the overall financing
of the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department on an
equitable basis with the resident. It is hoped that this policy will
give not only equitable treatment, but also a better understanding
of fees and overall financing to both residents and non-residents.
For more information on verifying resident status, see page 81.

Book Club
Tuesday, March 11, 2014, 7 to 8 p.m.
Calling all readers! The Habitat is interested in
launching a series of book clubs, both for adults and
children. Stories are how we understand our world;
the characters, ideas, dilemmas, and behaviors we
learn through books help us “read” everything else
around us. Together we will explore both fiction and
non-fiction stories that raise awareness of local and
global environmental issues facing our world today.
Join us in March for a town hall style informational
session as we delve into the possibilities of these
new groups. Topics will include
meeting dates and times,
book list, format, and ages of
participation.

LAP SWIMMING:
General information and details on how to share a lane
with other swimmers.
Reassess your goals and increase your mileage as you swim for
fitness, a leading form of cardiovascular exercise! Remember there
are 72 lengths to a mile in the Kettering Recreation Complex pool.
All lanes are offered on a first come basis. Please be courteous
to all swimmers. If there are two swimmers in a lane, it can be
split in halves and each swimmer uses one side of the lane, or
you may swim in circles. If you are the second swimmer to join
a lane, discuss with the first one how you will share the lane.
If there are more than 2 swimmers please circle swim counter
clockwise. If the swimmer behind you is faster than you please
stop at the wall to allow them to pass. Whether you are circle
swimming or split lane swimming, it is important to stay to the
side of the lane and not swim too far in the center. The lane closest
to the lifeguard is designated for our slower swimmers. The lane
furthest away is designated for our fast swimmers. Please do not
swim laps during classes or programs outside of the lane lines.
DEEP WATER WORKOUT
This is a basic deep-water class. Benefits include no impact,
improved flexibility, improved muscle strength and
cardiovascular fitness. Belts, hand buoys and noodles are
provided. This is a Drop-in class, and you may pay daily or
use your Water Workout pass for admission.
WATER WORKOUT
This class consists of aerobic routines, stretching and toning
performed in the chest to shoulder deep water. Not only is
this class fun and much less likely to cause injury, the natural
buoyancy of the water makes even a beginner feel graceful and
competent. The resistance from the water gives you a first-rate
workout. No swimming skills necessary. Water Workout is offered
as a registered or Drop-in class. For the Drop-in class you may
pay daily or use your Water Workout pass for admission.
FIT SWIM/ AQUA JOGGING
Fitness comes in many forms for different people. Not
everyone is a traditional lap swimmer. Some prefer to use an
aqua jogging belt and attain their fitness goals or rehab in the
form of aqua jogging. We encourage aqua jogging during our
normal lap swim times. We ask that all “fit swimmers” please
share lanes as needed and go in the direction of the lanes
rather than across the lanes. Aqua Jogging is also permitted
in the shallow or deep end if the opposite end of the pool
ONLY is being used for a water workout class.
child care Information
Please refer to page 6 for information regarding child
care services. Child care hours are available to you while
you use the Kettering Recreation Complex.
This class consists of basic water aerobic activities such
as walking, jogging and side-stepping along with toning
and strength training exercises in shoulder-deep water. No
swimming skills are necessary. All ages will benefit from water
walking and everyone enjoys the camaraderie that comes
from joining this class. *Class will not meet on January 10.

Aqua Zumba
Age(s) 16 +
Known as the Zumba “pool party,” Aqua Zumba gives new
meaning to the idea of an invigorating workout. Splashing,
stretching, twisting, even shouting, laughing, hooting and
hollering are often heard during an Aqua Zumba class. Integrating
the Zumba formula and philosophy with traditional aqua
fitness disciplines, Aqua Zumba blends it all together into a safe,
challenging, water-based workout that’s cardio-conditioning,
body-toning, and most of all, exhilarating beyond belief. Zumba
Fitness has taken the winning formula of Latin and international
music beats for dance exercise and integrated them in a waterbased workout. Aqua Zumba keeps the Zumba Fitness workout
party going in the pool, led by instructors who have specialty
Aqua Zumba License. Aqua shoes/water shoes or even spare gym
shoes will work fine in the water. Aqua/water shoes not required,
but recommended.

Adult Skate
Whether you are an adult who
loves to skate but dislikes the
large crowds of an open skate
or just someone who always
wanted to learn to skate, this
session is set aside just for
you. All skill levels enjoy the
opportunity for exercise and
friendship at our adult skate
from 8 to 10 a.m. each Monday,
Wednesday and Friday. You
must be 18 or older; regular
admission rates apply. Proper
I.D. must be shown to receive
resident rates. Participating in
this skate does not guarantee use
of the entire ice surface.
8 – 10 p.m.
HELPFUL SKATING HINTS
Although our spectator area is
heated, you will want to dress
warmly when you come ice skating.
Please remember your hats and
gloves. Long pants or tights are
required for participation in group
lessons. It is always better to dress
in layers so you may take off a layer
or two if needed.
Selecting the proper skate size is
very important. Your skates should
be approximately one-half size
smaller than your shoe size. You
want your skates to be snug, but
not so tight that you are uncomfortable. You should be able
to wiggle your toes. Lace your skates tightly, starting at the
bottom and lacing to the top, not skipping any eyelets.
We hope these suggestions will help make your visit a very
pleasant one and you will come back to see us again. Although
helmets are not required in group lessons, they are strongly
recommended.
Please remember: Long pants or tights are
required for participation in group lessons.
Shorts will not be permitted on the ice.

March is National Nutrition Month and is celebrated
all across the country. This year we are going to celebrate
National Nutritional Month at both the Kettering Fitness &
Wellness Center and the Kettering Recreation Complex with
a variety of events focused on self-improvement. Establishing
sound nutritional habits for both our children and ourselves
is an on-going process — a journey. The end-result or
destination can be measured in improved nutritional habits,
body composition and health.
Below are events that will occur during the month. Details
of these events (dates/times, cost, etc.) will be available in
February via facility bulletin boards, fliers and our website
(www.ketteringoh.org).
• A weekly healthy recipe exchange every Thursday
during the month of March at the Kettering Fitness &
Wellness Center.
• Handouts on a variety of nutritional topics will be
available throughout the month.

Age(s) 8 +
• Three nutrition-based lectures will be conducted:
“Sports Nutrition”, “Shopping at the Grocery Store
for Nutrition” and “Not Just Food… The Role of
Supplements in Your Daily Nutritional Plan”.
• A “Healthy Cooking Class” will focus on strategies for
healthy, low fat and flavorful cooking.
• Free body compositions can be scheduled at any time
during the month.
• To test your knowledge and offer personal insight, a
weekly Nutritional Quiz will be offered.
• A trip to the grocery store with a registered dietician to
learn how to shop for healthy, nutrient dense foods.
296-3282 for up-to-date weather cancelations.
Registering In Advance
Watching a good activity die is painful. There
is a point when, if there are not enough
registrants, an activity is canceled. Signing up
on the day of the activity will not resurrect it!
Please register at least seven days prior to the
beginning of the activity.
• Two challenges will be held. The first will be the
Change my Nutritional Habits Challenge and the
second will be the Change my Body Composition
Challenge. Individual goals will be established with
both of these challenges and progress towards these
goals will be charted — a great opportunity for
self-improvement.
The main goal of celebrating Nutritional Month is to improve
eating habits and establish better nutritional patterns (over
the 31 days). To reward participants who undertake this selfimprovement challenge, each event will have a point total
attached to it. Prizes will be awarded to participants with
the most accumulated points from the month’s
activities. Organizational meetings will be held
on Thursday, February 20, at the Kettering
Recreation Complex and
Monday, February 24, at the
Kettering Fitness & Wellness
Center to explain all of the
details. Enjoy the Journey!

Nutrition Lecture: Food and Feelings –
Making the Connection
Age(s) 16 +
Do you feel that you are nourishing yourself in a way that
honors your hunger and fullness?
Do you feel caught in the eat, repent, repeat cycle of dieting
and overeating, and then dieting again?
Do you feel guilty about the foods you eat?
Do you feel as though you are eating for reasons other than
hunger the majority of the time?
Is there anyone in your life you are concerned about because
you feel their food, exercise and self-esteem issues have taken
over their thoughts — impacting their relationships and
vitality for life?
Join Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist and health educator for
Insight Program at Womanline of Dayton, Theresa Gilbert,
MSEd, RDN, LD for an engaging program highlighting
strategies to help you become more mindful and attuned to
why you choose to eat and how to separate food and feelings.
In addition, risks of dieting (and research that supports
the ill effects of dieting and lack of evidence of long term
effectiveness) and an overview of risk factors for eating
disorders/disordered eating behaviors will be provided. A list
of resources will be provided.

Olympic fencing challenges the mind and the body. Fencing is a
good family activity too; it is co-ed and we welcome ages seven
and up (no upper age limit!).
BEGINNER LEVEL 1 is for participants with little or no
experience in fencing. Learn the basic fencing moves necessary
to build up good fencing posture, balance and coordination or
readjust your ability before moving on to level 2.
BEGINNER LEVEL 2 builds off of Beginning Level 1 and
completes the skills necessary for fencers to start competing
against each other at Open Fencing.
INTERMEDIATE is for fencers with a solid fundamental
knowledge/experience base. Additional concepts and techniques
are introduced.
COMPETITIVE refines invidual fencing skills and strategy, as
well as introduces additional techniques. This level of fencing
prepares fencers for competition (tournaments).
OPEN FENCING is the opportunity to fence other opponents
and apply/test your fencing experience and knowledge. Open
Fencing is a Drop-in program and does not run on a four-week
schedule. Daily Drop-in fees are $6/person. Open Fencing
uses electronic gear, which is available for rent ($4/day). Open
Fencing discounts are available for American Fencing Academy
of Dayton (AFAD) club members and are recommended for
frequent fencers. It is strongly suggested that fencers taking the
intermediate or competitive classes stay for the Open Fencing
that follows their class.
SPORTS PROGRAMS
A variety of recreational and competitive athletic leagues are
offered for adults. League champion (T-shirts) are awarded to the
players of each championship team. Officials and scorekeepers
are provided for the respective sport. Different skill levels are
available in each league. If you have questions on specific levels,
please call the adult sports coordinator at 296-2587.
League duration varies pending league size. Most leagues run 8 to
10 weeks in duration and include a season-ending tournament
(league play will determine tournament seeding).
Basketball and volleyball league games are played in the evenings
throughout the week. Game times vary from 6:15 to 9:30 p.m.
Register at the Kettering Recreation Complex (in-person or over
the phone) 296-2587.

INTERMEDIATE, COMPETITIVE and OPEN FENCING can be
taken in any combination, once Beginner 1 and 2 have been passed.

cash or check on the day of the first class to the instructor. United
States Fencing Association (USFA) membership is required for all

Each fall, the Street Department picks up the leaves residents
rake curbside and they are taken to the “leaf farm” where the
material is processed and made into leaf compost. The wood
mulch is made from various tree-trimming projects and from
the material collected at the City’s Yard Debris Center.
You may pick up compost and wood mulch in your truck,
trailer or other container at Indian Riffle Park, 2801 E. Stroop
Road (behind Tannenberg Kennels). The site is open daylight

Walking Tips
Wear comfortable, supportive soft-soled
shoes. If walking in warm weather, make
sure to drink plenty of fluid. When walking,
use the F.I.T. formula for fitness benefits.
F = Frequency (how often) — 3 to 5
times per week
I = Intensity (how hard) — Use the
perceived exertion chart, below
(12 to 14)
T = Time (how long) — 20 to 60 minutes
76
Stretching
Stretching is an important part of any
exercise program. It can help improve your
flexibility along with decreasing your risk
of injury and muscle soreness.
Stretching Tips
• Always warm up your muscles before
stretching.
• Stretch to the point of mild tension, not
pain.
• Don’t perform any motion which is painful.
• Don’t bounce — the stretch should be slow
and held for 20 to 30 seconds.
• Stretch before and after exercise. Stretching
after exercise will help to increase your
flexibility.
Perceived Exertion Chart
The chart below is used to subjectively
determine the correct intensity of your
workout. It is especially useful for those
who are on medications which effect the
heart rate. A moderate level would be
exercising at a level of 12 to 14 on the chart.
7 Very, very light

Polen Farm, a beautiful and historic 19th century farmhouse and
barn situated on 15 picturesque acres at 5099 Bigger Road, is a
favorite with area residents for weddings, receptions, meetings, luncheons, small conferences, retreats, reunions and other
social affairs.
Polen Farm is operated by the Kettering Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Department. Groups may rent portions of the
farm or the entire facility, depending on the number of people involved and the type of event. Ample parking is available.
The Polen Farm house includes a roomy living room, dining room, sun porch, and banquet room. A seasonal tent covers a
large patio providing the flexibility of an indoor or outdoor event. These features make the Polen Farm House the perfect
place for a small, intimate gathering or a slightly larger event, of up to 130 people.
Unequaled in the community is the Polen Farm Barn. Through renovation, the barn has
become an ideal setting for craft shows, company picnics, family reunions and wedding
receptions. The lower level, which features a small service kitchen, will accommodate up
to 125 people and is usable year-round. The upper level is roomy enough for as many as
175 people. Groups over 300 may want to reserve the entire Polen Farm facility. Tables,
chairs and use of the Gazebo are included in all rental prices.
The grounds around the farmhouse and barn have been preserved to a large extent
in their natural condition. Highlights include a formal garden patio and a Gazebo
perfect for outdoor weddings and small musicals. When the facility or grounds are
not reserved for a private renter, Polen Farm’s picnic areas are available for public
use as well.
