Friends, What an exciting time of the year! Summer is a fantastic season of fun, sun, reading, recreation, beach-going and so many other pursuits. For the children and young adults in our community, it’s an opportunity to engage in new activities, spend time daydreaming, try out new recreational opportunities, and gather with friends and family whom they seldom get to see. It’s also a chance for our children to go to a wide variety of camps and other daytime programs. Inside the pages of this Recreator, you’ll find an extensive list of wonderful programs for all our residents, regardless of age or ability. One of the Recreation Services Department’s most cherished programs is our library’s Summer Reading program. Last year, 39,365 books were read by 3,964 children, teens and adults in our community. Please help us in exceeding these numbers this year by telling your friends and neighbors about this valuable program and encouraging all our young citizens to participate. Not only does it help in preventing the dreaded summer slide, but it also assists our children in having a successful upcoming school year. Speaking of slides, each year in July we celebrate Park and Recreation Month sponsored by the National Recreation and Park Association. This year’s theme is “A Lifetime of Discovery.” I encourage everyone to visit a neighborhood park to enjoy the swings and slides, engage in a new recreational activity, go for a walk in the morning or evening, or simply join your friends at the beach for a picnic. Boca Raton is so fortunate to have beautiful parks, amazing ballfields, environmental facilities and preserves, fantastic community centers, libraries that provide trend-setting technologies and amenities (along with books, DVDs, CDs, and other typical library materials), and so much more. There’s no doubt you could discover a new leisure activity each day in July and never be bored—all right here in your own backyard. Finally, I’d like to thank the residents of Boca Raton, our supportive Mayor and City Council, the Greater Beach & Park District Commissioners, City leadership, as well as my City team members, for being so welcoming in the first nine months of my tenure. I’m pleased to report that your Recreation Services Department is full of passionate, energetic, conscientious and dedicated professionals throughout the entire organization. Please take a moment to thank a groundskeeper, librarian, camp counselor, lifeguard, park ranger or other departmental team member the next time you see them. They would appreciate it. I look forward to seeing you at a park, program, library or facility soon. Recreationally yours, Michael J. Kalvort, CPRE Recreation Services Director

SEASON HIGHLIGHTS: SEA BATHER'S ERUPTION (SEA LICE)

What is it? Red welts and blotches concentrated under the swimsuit and other parts of the body after swimming in the ocean. Itching and redness usually occur several hours after ocean bathing, and some bathers report a a slight "prickling" sensation while they are in the water. This occurs mostly from April to July. Symptoms: Itching usually lasts 2-4 days, but it can last as long as 2 weeks. Some people have more severe reactions, including headache, fever, nausea and infected blisters. Children may develop high fever. Prevention: Bathers should change out of bathing suit before showering. This may reduce your risk for sea bather's eruption by half. Treatment: An oral antihistamine may help to relieve the itching. Also, an over-the-counter topical 1% cortisone cream or sting aid may be helpful. With severe reactions or complications, call your physician immediately. For more information, call (561) 514-5369, HRS-Palm Beach County Public Health Unit.

Available from 10:00am-4:00pm. Inquire at the Spanish River Gatehouse. A valid driver’s license must be submitted as deposit for use of the chair.

THOR GUARD LIGHTNING DETECTION SYSTEM Lightning is a severe hazard that must be viewed seriously. Everyone should immediately seek shelter any time they believe lightning threatens them, even if a signal has NOT been sounded. In many of our facilities, you will be warned by our Thor Guard Lightning Detection System, which sounds ONE 15-second blast of the horn signaling suspension of all activities (if equipped, a strobe light will begin flashing and remain flashing until safe conditions return). You should immediately seek an appropriate, safe shelter. You may resume activities only after THREE 5-second blasts of the horn are sounded and the strobe light, if equipped, stops flashing. The following parks are equipped with the THOR GUARD device: DeHoernle · Hillsboro El Rio · Lake Wyman · Meadows · Memorial · Patch Reef · Sandpine · Sugar Sand · Swim & Racquet Center · University Woodlands SEEK large buildings, lightning shelters, automobiles/trucks, tunnels with no standing water. When one of the above is not available, seek dense woods or low-lying areas. AVOID open areas, water, tall trees, metal fences, overhead wires and power lines, high-ground areas, telephones & cellular phones, radios, and small, unprotected shelters. If you remain outdoors after the warning is issued, you do so at your own risk. The City cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the warning system.
