LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

Eric Lucas, Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture Having recently returned from the National Parks and Recreation Conference where staff accepted the Gold Medal Finalist Award as one of the top four departments in the nation for under 30,000 population, I would like to take a moment to thank all of you, the Windsor community, for your support of our staff and our efforts to provide diverse, desirable recreation and culture activities. Without your continued support we would not be able to continue to provide new and exciting programs and facilities! As we head into 2018, our department is energized and looking forward to continuing to meet the challenges of our growing, vibrant community. And, for me personally, I am even more excited about our impact on the daily lives of the Windsor community! As always, if you have ideas, concerns, or would just like to chat, please feel free to reach out. I would love to hear what Eric Lucas, M.S., CPRP you have to say regarding parks, recreation, and culture in Windsor! Director of Parks, Recreation & Culture elucas@windsorgov.com

Starting in the late ‘70s when he took his first professional brewery (not brewing) job at San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing Company, Doug Odell spent most of his time there scrubbing the mash tun. After his time at Anchor, Doug moved to Seattle where he continued to homebrew, perfected some recipes, and met his wife Wynne. While honeymooning in the U.K., Doug and Wynne were inspired by the many small breweries that were successfully selling flavorful real ale, and decided they wanted to take Doug’s passion commercial. Take a tour, learn about the rest of Doug’s story, and taste some of craft brewing’s best beers! Lunch will be on your own before the tour at a local restaurant. Walking Level: Moderate

Trust me, if you have a teen who thinks that Ramen is one of the food groups, that lattes only come from Starbucks, or that butter and margarine are the same thing, they need this class.

Culture Cooking Hearty Greens for Body and Soul

Sprouting 101

Leafy greens are a nutritional powerhouse that pack a punch of aesthetics, flavor, and versatility at the same time. They can be deliciously sautéed and combined with a multitude of spices, grains, beans, and other proteins.

Compared with other foods, sprouts are highly bioavailable. This means your body can easily absorb them and use them for energy. They are also rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, proteins, and phytochemicals. Local food educator Sapna Von Reich will show you how to sprout seeds, legumes, and grains in a mason jar.

As part of the CYLA, games are played all along the Front Range, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Denver, Aurora, Arvada, and Colorado Springs. Each team typically practices two to three times per week, depending on the age group.

Players are required to register with Fort Collins Lacrosse in order to receive team shorts and jersey. To register with Fort Collins Lacrosse, visit www.spring.fclax.com. Players are also required to obtain U.S. Lacrosse membership cards, which covers their insurance for the year while playing on the field and costs an additional $30 per player. To register with U.S. Lacrosse or renew membership, visit www.uslacrosse. org.

All individual player equipment is provided by the player, including stick, helmet, chest pads, elbow pads, and mouth guard. Team uniforms are purchased separately; contact your teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coach for uniform pricing and details.

Football Flag Football The Windsor Flag Football league’s focus is to teach fundamentals of football in a team setting. To promote equal team competition, players should attend an assessment date. Players will be assessed on basic football skills and athleticism, and will be placed on teams according to skill level and grade. Participants will learn football fundamentals with the exception of tackling or blocking (non-contact league) with an emphasis of equal participation with winning being secondary. Teams play 5 vs. 5 and are scheduled for six games with an end of season playoff if scheduling constraints permit. Coaches wanted: This program relies on parent volunteers to coach. It’s sad when kids miss out on the action because of a coaching shortage. Please contact us if you are willing to coach. Coaches get to pick their own practice schedule. Call 970-674-3515 for more information. Location: Practices and games are held in Windsor during weekday evenings. Some age groups may play games in the Fort Collins Flag Football League if less than a minimum of 30 players are registered for that division.

Flag Assessments: Teams are formed through the player assessment process in an effort to create balanced teams. Players and coaches should attend the assessment day to be assigned to a team. Assessments will be held at Chimney Park at 5:30 p.m. on the following dates: •

Tuesday, March 20: K - 1 Grade

•

Wednesday, March 21: 2 - 3 Grade

•

Thursday, March 22: 4 - 5 Grade and 6 -8 Grade

Requests: Coaches select their team through the assessment process, therefore, requests cannot be guaranteed for a child to be placed on a specific team, with a specific coach, on a specific practice day, or with another player. Mandatory Coaches Meeting: March 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the Windsor CRC. Practices: Practices begin the week of March 26, one hour each, two times per week. After assessments, a coach will contact you with your practice schedule. Practices can occur between 4:30 – 7 p.m. Monday through Friday at the coach’s discretion. Games: Occur in Windsor on weekday evenings. Games start week of April 9. Teams are scheduled for six games, but are dependent upon the spring weather.

Age: Grades K - 8 (as of current school year)

Parent Meeting: March 8 (see page 56 for more details)

Registration Period: 12/4 - 2/28 or until teams are full.

Parent Packets: Available on www.teamsideline.com/windsor
