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 86.

partners HEALTHY YOUTH

for
Partners for Healthy Youth is a community-wide effort to engage Kettering adults and youth in working together to build a healthy community where all young people can grow and succeed. Our focus is on building character/developmental assets, while promoting a network of resources and initiatives to address the needs and issues facing Ketterings youth and families. Our work is based on research by the Search Institute on the 40 Developmental Assets that all young people need to succeed. Partners for Healthy Youth is a collaborative effort founded jointly by the Kettering City Council and the Kettering School Board. It is led by an advisory board made up of representatives from a wide variety of sectors throughout the community, including city, school, church, business, social service, recreation and members of the Kettering Youth Council. Based on extensive community-wide input, Partners for Healthy Youth has identified three key initiatives to focus on during the next two years.
PARTNERS FOR HEALTHy yOUTH
Community Character Building
The mission of this initiative is to establish, implement and sustain a program to promote character building assets in Kettering. Character Words of the Month are promoted in schools, community buildings, churches and businesses. Our goal is to build character qualities and personal assets that will help our youth make positive choices and develop a strong base for a promising future.
youth Leadership and Service
Following the 2006 Search Institute survey of more than 700 Kettering youth, Partners for Healthy Youth learned that less than 1/3 of our young people are engaged in service to their communities. The Youth Leadership and Service initiative seeks to engage all young people in Kettering through leadership development programs and service projects. Each year hundreds of youth participate in the Kettering Youth Council, Kettering Youth Leadership Academy, Community Day of Service and various service events.
Mentoring
The mission of the Mentoring initiative is to connect the youth of Kettering and their families to strong resources, healthy adults and programs that provide our youth with mentoring and other positive opportunities which include elements of strong character and leadership development. Mentoring programs include the ongoing after-school programs for our middle schools, continuation of Cops & Kids Camp and positive interaction and relationship building with local law enforcement.

KETTERING BMx
Everyone can participate all you need is a BMx bike and helmet. Races every Sunday, May October 2011 (Registration/sign up at 2 3 p.m. on race day) BMX has something to offer everyone. Races are organized according to age group and skill levels so everyone gets the opportunity to compete on an appropriate, fair level. All riders compete for awards and ABA points. The ABA points system determines a riders annual ranking within his/her own district. National and local standings are then published in The BMXer, a magazine that each rider receives monthly. What is BMX? The sport of bicycle motocross that began in the early 1970s in southern California. A hand full of riders started riding their stingray-type bikes off road in vacant lots and fields. Not much competition, but a lot of fun. Who can race? Races are organized into separate boys and girls classes, age groups from 5-and-under to 51-and-older, and skill levels (example: novice, intermediate and expert). All riders start as novices and work up to more advanced levels by winning races. What kind of bike do I need? BMX racing does not require a lot of expensive equipment. Most racers start with their 20" street bike by removing the chain guard and kick stand and then putting some inexpensive padding on the frame, handle bar and stem. What kind of helmet do I need? A helmet, long sleeve shirts, long pants and enclosed shoes are required. The ABA recommends a helmet with face protection as well. How much does it cost to race? A one-year ABA membership is only $45, which allows you to race on any ABA track nationwide. Each member will also receive The BMXer. Once you have become an ABA member, races, clinics and other competitions will require additional fees based on the event. BMX Summer Camp: This three-day camp will take place June 14 - 16 (10 a.m. - 2 p.m.) and will be taught by local BMX rider, Josh Smith and the Kettering BMX association. Fees are $55 for Kettering residents and $65 for non-residents. Registration is possible on-line (www.ketteringoh.org) or at the Kettering Recreation Complex. Bike and helmets are required.
