Also present: Nile Kriesel, Dick Blekum, Jim Fackler, and officers of the st. Croix Valley Hockey Association (Dick Shattuck, Tom Nels~n, and Rod Skogen). Absent: Jahnke, Powell, and Burtzlaff. e Hockey Association The Association discussed the policy as they understood it. They thoughu they had to give two weeks' or one month's notice when they were returning ice time~ They also believed they turned in about 50 hours last year. They ~lso'brought numerous items and problems up concerning their booking of:ho~s and decline in enrollment. After considerable iheated discussion we tried to come to some compromise for next year. For now everyone will cooperate to sell as much of the 101 hours as possible. On February 15. 1979, we will again get together with the SCVHA and talk over this matter. Some suggestions for next year could possibly include booking time after the 15th of March. If there is not enough who need the time, maybe the arena could be closed by that date. The SCVHA will work to sell the hours. It was recollDlended that the motion to send a letter to the Council regarding the 101 hours that were returned to us be rescinded. We wil~ discuss this more in the future.

Present: Dennis Sullivan, William Powell, Jeannine Hoffbeck, Linda Kluy, Donald Jahnke, Bill Burtzlaff, Dick Blekum Absent: David Eckberg, Glenn Thompson, Harry Peterson PARK PROPERTY IN CROIXWOOD Mr. Paul, the individual who originally registered the complaint concerning the park property adjacent to his home talked briefly. He is concerned that someone may get hurt and the park may become an athletic field. The commission discussed the problem and also talked about another piece of park property one-half block away. The residents gave us their input also. The majority of the people in the area would like playground equipment to be put in the park to help alleviate the problem. Trees could also be planted this fall, allowing for the equipment to be put in later. The money for the equipment is not available now but sources will be pursued or residents will try to raise the money. The residents were assured the City will maintain the park even if they purchase the playground equipment. Dick Blekum made three suggestions: 1. Trees will be planted strategically, leaving room for playground equipment to serve children in a 4--12 bracket. 2. The field one-haJiblock away on the west will have no develop- ment now. 3. It is hoped this will move the older kids to the Croixwood Seventh Addition Park. Don Jahnke recommended we add one more suggestion: 4. A sign be put in the park stating there will be NO BALL PLAYING. A vote was taken of the people in attendance and they unanimously supported these suggestions. The tree planting should start in about three weeks if the weather holds out. The meeting was adjourned at 8:47 P. M.

White, Des Peres parks director. PHYSICAL FITNESS has become a national fetish. Everyone wants to be fit, and exercising and jogging do wonders for body fitness. But both these activities tend to be boring. Therefore, many people quickly lose interest and stop exercising. One solution to the problem, accor- ding to the city of Des Peres and Normandy Osteopathic Hospitals, is a Parcourse Fitness Circuit —an outdoor walking -jogging -exercising circular trail, designed to put fun into fitness. A parcourse is like a playground that is geared to people of all ages. You walk or jog around a one- or two-mile course and, along the way, do a variety of gymnastic - type exercises at specially equipped stations. The Des Peres parcourse has 18 stations, some with equipment like a school playground —ring swings, chin- ning bars, balance beams, and vaults. The parcourse is well delineated and has an illustrated sign at each station explaining how to do the exercise, what muscles or areas of the body it stretches or strengthens, and the recommended par (how many times to do the exercise) for three different levels of fitness —starting par, sporting par, and championship par. One full circuit of the parcourse results in a completely balanced workout for the entire body. Families and friends can enjoy the parcourse together because each person can exercise at his or her own level and each station has enough equipment for three people to exercise at the same time. The concept of an outdoor fitness circuit —jogging, interspersed with exer- cises, and called "circuit training" —was first popularized in Switzerland where it was called a parcours. In 1968, the Vita Life Insurance Co. of Switzerland set up a "Vita parcours" in Zurich and offered to provide parcours equipment to other Swiss towns. Over 170 accepted, and today there are more than 600 Swiss parcourses. The parcourse concept was introduced to the United States in 1973 when Parcourse Ltd., a San Francisco -based firm, installed the first one in San Francisco as a sales demonstration. Since then, more than 700 Parcourse Fitness Circuits have been installed throughout George Hudson (left), president of Des Peres Parks and Recreation Commission, and James C. Harris of Normandy Osteopathic Hospitals try out log hop on the Parcourse Fitness Circuit. s photos by the author except as noted 108 ST. LOUIS COMMERCE / OCTOBER, 1981 the U.S. When David M. White, director of Des Peres Parks and Recreation, was looking for ways to get more people to use the town park, he read about the parcourse systems in other areas, and submitted his idea to the mayor of •Des Peres, Roy Bradbury II, and the aldermen. They approved, and money for the project was put into the 1980-81 budget. "From the start, everyone liked the idea," White said. "With an increasing emphasis on physical fitness, we felt a responsibility to provide the community with an innovative exercise facility that can be used by all ages and abilities." In order to provide the people of Des Peres with the best fitness circuit system available, White talked to James C. Harris, executive director of Normandy Osteopathic Hospitals, who had previously co -sponsored health -related events with the city. Harris presented the parcourse idea to the hospital board, and they agreed to pay half of the cost of an 18- station parcourse. "Our objective as a hospital is to keep people healthy," Harris said, "and certainly a fitness trail is in keeping with that objective. We do lots of other things to disseminate health care information — education programs, seminars, newsletters, screening programs, and free CPR training —and we thought the fitness trail would be a good idea. "It was a good neighbor gesture on our part, too," Harris said. "If a community is good to you, you need to give something back to the community." Normandy Osteopathic Hospitals provided more than just financial assistance. Two of their board -certified cardiologists offered their expertise in evaluating the various parcourse systems. With approval all around for the system, 18 selected stations were purchased from At station No. 11 on Parcourse, Ann Horne (right), Deborah Curran (dark shirt) and Karen Crider vigorously perform hop -kick. "We felt a responsibility to provide the community with an innovative exer- cise facility to be used by people of all ages." At right, Curran conditions a variety of chest, arm and shoulder muscles with chin-ups at the Parcourse Circuit's No, 10 station. Below, the trio starts Parcourse with the achilles stretch at first station: >fff� 110 `7t takes about 40 minutes to go around, walking. You feel good when you finish, not tired but f ull of energy. It's funf" Combining fitness with recreation, Betty Bransford (foreground) of Des Pares, a regular user of the Parcourse, and her daughter. Nancy Calvert of Boulder, Colo., perform the bench leg raise at Circuit's station No. 15 Parcourse Ltd. White then studied the layout of other parcourses in the St. Louis area. With advice from Bob Dennison of Tower Grove Park, and help from Dan Gardner, the Des Peres Park superintendent, he laid out the course for Des Peres Park, placing the stations along the pic- turesque jogging trail that was already in place. "We took the jogging trail and gave it an additional use," White said. "We tried to keep it aesthetically pleasing. Also, we wanted to be sure the start and finish points of the circuit were visible from the parking lot to attract interest." Materials for the Des Peres Parcourse Fitness Circuit cost $7,000. Regular park employees assembled the stations indoors during the winter months. Last April, Gardner and his crew began installing the course in the park. "It took about a month," Gardner said. "We finished the course in June." "Reaction to the Parcourse Fitness Circuit has been excellent," White said. ".We wanted to get more people into the park, and we succeeded in that." Men, women, children —even senior citizens —have turned out to use the parcourse. Many have become regulars. Deborah Curran and her friends, Karen Crider and Anne Horne, use the course several times a week. "We like it because it's outside, and because you have time to talk between exercises," Deborah said. "It takes about 40 minutes to go around, walking. You feel good when you finish, not tired, but full of energy. It's fun." Although the parcourse is fun, its purpose is fitness, and it includes the four key elements necessary to achieve total fitness —warming up and stretching, strengthening and toning, stretching and cooling down, and cardiovascular con- ditioning. The Parcourse Fitness Circuit also includes a "heart check" system for cardiovascular conditioning. The first station on the circuit explains how to use one's heart beat as a guide to safe and sensible exercise. Then, at designated "heart check" stations, exercises can check their pulses to be sure they are maintaining the right pace for their fitness levels. Safe and sensible exercising is impor- tant according to Harris. "One of the big battles health care institutions fight is getting people to change their lifestyles after we get their well," he said. "Exercise is part of a healthy lifestyle. We may have some medical use for the parcourse in the future," he added. Meanwhile, White plans to meet with senior citizen groups and school groups to show them how to adapt the Parcourse Fitness Circuit to their levels of ability. He has also designed a brochure showing how to use thecircuit, and explaining the fitness concept, and conditioning benefits. Other public parcourses in the St. Louis area are in Forest Park (along Lindell blvd.), in Tower Grove Park, and in Tilles Park. Anyone who has become bored with jogging along the same old streets, or tired of doing sit-ups on the living room floor, can take the family or friends and try a parcourse trail. Many people have found that it's as much fun as the corner playground used to be. And, just like the old playground, it's free. Rose Ann Collins is a free-lance writer. 112 ST.

PETERSON ROGER PETERSON WILLIAM H, POWELL December 19, 1979 CITY CLERK DOROTHY R, SCHNELL CITY ATTORNEY DAVID T. MAGNUSON '- The Recreation Commission of the City of Stillwater has voted to send a letter to each School Board member informing them of the operations and problems of the Lily Lake Arena. e The arena was built at taxpayers' expense for the benefit of the District No. 834 hockey program and the St. Croix Valley Hockey Association as well as the use by the general public. Booking time has been done on a priority basis, The School District has had first choice and the SCVHA second. They have also been given a reduced rate which is $10.00 cheaper than other schools and organ- izations have had to pay. At present the district is paying $37.50 per hour even though it costs the City more than $40,00 to operate each hour. The varsity games pay on a different scale. They pay the minimum which covers our expenses of the ticket taker, police, etc. and then the gate receipts are split 50-50. This year the School District chose to change its practice time from 3:00 to 3:45 even though they had already booked the time. This leaves a 45 minute block of time open unless we could sell the time. They then extended the time at the end and thus cut into time already booked by the SCVHA. This did not set too well with the SCVHA. . The use of home ice for games has allowed a greater number of fans to view the varsity and junior varsity games. The Suburban Conference has specified certain things that we needed to improve if games were to be played at our arena. These involved installation of plexi-glass, more bleachers, better crowd control, and adequate parking. Some of these have been done but some are still to be completed, when the money is available. If the additional bleachers are added (210 seats at a cost of about $7,100), there is a possibility we may have to install another exit. e e . December 19, 1979 Page 2 We are also going to have to repaint the interior at a cost of about $42,000. The cost of the installation of the plexi-glass was $15,000. The City maintains, manages, repairs, and improves the facilities at Lily Lake but cannot do so at a loss to the City. We realize the importance of the arena to the district hockey program. We hope that some financial donation can be realized by your group so that we can make the improvements. We also understand that the School District has given money to other cities for the use of recreational facilities. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
