NOTES TO PARK OMMISSION AGENDA
M y 2004
5.
Hunters Crossing _ .Iay Roos represenfng the developer will he present at the meeting
concerning the park land in the Hunte s Crossing Development as set out in his attached
e-mail.
No Smoking Environment for City Pa ks - At the previous meeting a presentation was
made requesting the designation of Ci owned parks/trails as smoke free. There was
discussion on enforcement of the "No moking"regulations. Generally when the city
adopts an ordinance it includes terms r provisions for enforcement of the same. Most 01
the ordinances carry misdemeanor pc alties. In the information that was handed out, it is
noted that the communities of Plymou h, New Brighton, etc. had adopted policies rather
than ordinances. policies general do not carry penalties and the burden of enforcement is
not as defined as with ordinances. T is is brought up to clarify whether the City is
proposing to adopt a policy or an ord nance.
Phasing _ At the last meeting it was d seussed that if the City did proceed with the "No
Smoking" in City parks/trails it woul he phased in over a period of time. Perhaps initially
beginning with EasttWest Bridge pa k. Is this something tbe Parks Commission is still
considering and if so, should a committee be set up to estahlish a phasing plan or does the
Parks Commission as a whole want t come up with this document. If so this should be
included with any draft policy that ould be submitted to the Council for approval.
Public Comment Period _ After the I st meetiug a notice was put in the paper stating that
the Parks Commission would be ace pting public comment on the proposed "No Smoking"
policy. The public comment period is open until May 27,2004. Commeuts received thus
far are attached to this agenda. An received after the agenda is sent out will be
distributed at the Parks Commissio meeting.
6.
.
7. Ordinance amendment _ Jeff O'Nei I and Steve Grittman are supposed to meet regarding
this item. It is uncertain whether t ere will be a revised document for the Parks
Commission to look at but there m Y be a verbal update.

residents living adjacent to the Grovelan park who were in opposition to the park
development. This meeting resulted in a proposal to I) plant trees between their residences and
the playstructure; 2) installation of the b sketball court would be delayed for at least this year

Parks Commission Minutes - 4/22/04
5.
Allison Hortzman from the Wright Cou ty Health Services and the Monticello Teens Against
Tobacco Use (TATD) were present to r quest the City tconsider adopting a "No Smoking"
policy for the parks, pathways and entra ces to city owned facilities. The group gave a
presentation outlining some ofthe goals and activities they are involved in. Their primary goal
is to educate young students not to start 'moking. There are 41 cities in the State of Minnesota
that have adopted a "No Smoking" poli y for their parks. No WrIght County cities have as of
yet adopted a "No Smoking" policy. Si ce Monticello initiated the "Great American Smoke
out Day" the group felt it would be fitti g that the City of Monticello be the first Wright County
community to adopt a "No Smoking" p licy for its parks/pathways and public areas.
The group noted that some ofthe comI unities that have adopted a "No Smoking" policy have
exempted certain facilities or events. S ould the City go with a "No Smoking" policy, the signs
designating the no smoking area would be provided at no cost to the City. Bruce Thielen stated
that Brittany Myers had made a present tion to the City of Coon Rapids and the Coon Rapids
has gone with a "No Smoking" policy or their parks/public facilities. Kitty Baltos noted that
they were proposing that the area arou d the Community Center be designated as a no smoking
area and she pointed out that because 0 the weddings and other adult events held at the
Community Center the no smoking de ignation might not be practical. The group stated that
while cities may wish to exempt certai facilities or events, doing so would give a mixed
message about smoking so they would prefer a total ban on smoking.
The Parks Commission discussed wha should be exempt, like adult oriented activities such as
the softball leagues, River Fest at Ellis n Park, etc. Parks Commission also discussed
enforcement of such a policy. Brittan Myers stated that enforcement of the policy was not the
main issue but rather education about he dangers of smoking.
Roger Pribyl stated that he is a smoke and he does not believe his smoking infringes on the
rights of the non-smokers ofthe wod. He suggested that the ordinance against smoking start
at the school and ALP since that is were a lot of smokers hang out. He did not believe every
park should be smoke free. Adam H wkinson asked about events such as Riverfest or
tournaments at the ballfields where p ople are coming in from outside the area. Bruce Thielen
stated that some state athletic organiz tions such as the state soccer association support the
smoke free effort. Larry Nolan state the Parks Commission needs to study this more and
bring it back at the next meeting. This will give staiTtime to check with other communities
who have adopted the smoke free pol cy.
Bruce Thielen suggested a period of ublic comment (15-30 days) with a notice being put in the
paper that the Parks Commission is 1 oking for public input on a "No Smoking" policy for City
parks/trails/facilities. Bruce Thielen indicated it may be difficult for the City to get the
ordinance in place for this year. Fra Fair said the efforts of the group may not change the
attitude of those people who do smo e but it might encourage people to not take up the habit.
Rick Traver felt it was good to open his up f()r public comment. Parks Commission

Parks Commission Minutes - 4/22/04
commended the willingness of the yo g people to get involved with this issue. Rick Traver
suggested that if a "No Smoking" poli y be adopted that it could perhaps be phased in and the
Parks Commission felt there was merit in that suggestion.
FRAN FAIR MOVED TO SET UP A MOKE FREE POLICY FOR CITY PARKS,
P A THW A YS AND PUBLIC F ACILI IES AND TO HAVE A PHASING PLAN FOR THE
POLICY AND TO HAVE A PERIOD F PUBLIC COMMENT RUNNING UNTIL MA Y 27,
2004. RICK TRAVER SECONDED HE MOTION. MOTION CARRIED
UNANIMOUSL Y.
Roger Pribyl asked Bruce Thielen why oon Rapids exempted the golf course. Bruce Thielen
stated it was exempted because it was a enterprise fund. Roger Pribyl questioned whether
there wasn't political pressure to exem t the golf course because it generated revenue for the
city. He asked if Monticello would ex mpt the ballfields since that does generate revenue for
the city. Brittany Myers stated that so e of the communities that adopted ordinances with
exemptions for various facilities have g ne back and eliminated the exemptions from their
ordinance.
6.
Review of ro osed ordinance amendment relatin to ark land.
JeiT O'Neill reviewed the proposed cha ges to the ordinance. There was considerable
discussion on the three methods for dete mining park dedication fees; 1) 10% of land value at
time of platting; 2) a set fee as establish d by Councilor 3) land area based on density. It was
not clear whether the three methods pro ided more benefit to the developer or to the City. JefT
O'Neill stated this would be discussed a site review and perhaps some clarification made in the
language. It was also suggested that th language in Section 8 be changed so that instead of
listing specific tree species, it would ref ence any species that are on the invasive species list.
JctfO'Neill stated that the language req iring park land to be I' above the high water mark was
taken out.
7.
Park Rental Fees.
Adam Hawkinson reviewed the current fi es and park rental policy. It was noted some facilities
have more amenities than others and per aps could support a higher rental fee. It was
suggested that for residents the fees be se at $50 for the Ellison Gazebo and the West Bridge
Open Building and $75 for Ellison Log Seiter, West Bridge Shelter and Pioneer Park. For
non- residents the rental fee would be set at $150.
East Brid e Park Retainin Wall Cons ruction and Plantin s.
Adam Hawkinson asked if the Parks Con mission wanted to continue with the boulder walls or
do something different. The Parks Com ission felt they should stay with the boulder walls.
Adam Hawkinson indicated the lookout ea by the spruce tree would need a block retaining
wall. Larry Nolan asked what kind of sur ace would be utilized for the pathway laterals.

Parks Commission Minutes - 4/22/04
Adam Hawkinson suggested trying di ferent patterns such as a herringbone or cobblestone.
Adam Hawkinson will meet with the'ast Bridge Park gardeners and go over the plantings and
go through the stuff that was removed last year. Fran Fair stated they will be purchasing potted
materials and noted that some of the s ecimen originals that were planted are gone.
9.
Park Maintenance Items.
Adam I-Iawkinson slUllmarized the wo k that was completed and informed the Parks
Commission about new equipment tha: will be coming in. He reported they burned the grass
along Prairie Road to the Xcel training facility and planted trees in the Groveland area. Fran
Fair asked about getting compost mate ials for one of the beds at East Bridge Park. Adam
Hawkinson is getting bids on the iITiga ion system lor West Bridge park and the fishing pier
should be installed in May. Fran Fair sked about using funds from Adopt-a-Park for the
plantings.
10. Park Regulation Signs:
No changes were made to the park reg lation signs.
11.
Loss of ark land throu h Wetland GU action.
Adam Hawkinson explained that a port'on of the Salboul park had been taken for use as a
storm water holding area. This determi ation was made by the City in their capacity as the
LGU to administer the wetlands act. Al hough it was noted that this particular piece of land
was not the most ideal land for park pu oses, the Parks Commission was concerned that the
land was not only taken without compe sation but that the Parks Commission was not notified
that the land was being considered for s orm water use. It was felt that a letter should be written
stating that the land in question was ded cated for park use and there should be compensation to
the park system for loss of that land. It as felt it was a condemnation of the land by the LGU.
This will be brought back at the next me ting. Larry Nolan asked if there was any document
showing the designation of the land. A am Hawkinson indicated there was not.
Park Silms.
The Parks Commission discussed what k'nd of signs should be placed at East and West Bridge
Park and Par West park. The Parks Co mission prcferred the sand blasted style that is in
place at Ellison Park and Otter Crcek P but did question if there was a more durable material
that could be used. Adam Hawkinson w'lI check into this. The Parks Commission also
discussed the designation for East and W st Bridge park. They felt by designating it East
Bridge Park and West Bridge Park it ma e it sound like they were separate parks in different
locations. It was suggested designating t em as Bridge Park-East and Bridge Park-West which
would make it clearer that it was just one park. There was some discussion on the possibility of
getting electric service to the evergreen tr e so it could be lighted.

The wetland in question is along the wes ern boundary of the park
dedici'ltion
for Hunters Crossing. Some of the wetla d is within the park i'lnd some
falLs
within the right-ai-way of Fallon Avenue. The entire wetland is
approximately 7,600 squi'lre feet in size; however, the portion that is
within
the park boundary is approximately 4,800 square feet (equivalent to .11
i'lcres, or an area that is 69' x 69')

Conservation Dist. (the LGU at the time) we did not pursue this theory

would be in the far rear of the lots and affect the street/lot

Sometime after the delineation was compl ted, we learned from the
Township
that therei.s a 12" culvert just south o. this wet area. The culvert
goes
under Fallon Avenue and slopes away from our property. The inlet i'lnd
outlets of this culvert were completely uried by years of farm field
work,
erosion, i'lnd road grading - obviously th culvert wasn't i'lble to carry
water.
WSB Engineers saw some things on our pIa s (ground elevations and the
culvert) that made them also question wh ther or not this is a ni'ltural

that we
have our delineator look at it again Slnee we now know about the

Their suspicision is that the wet area i. created by the blocked culvert

Subject: TOBACCO FREE PARKS
To: Monticello Park Board
From: Lisa Johnson, Resident and Monti ello High School Activities
Director.
I am writing to you today to ask you to nact a tobacco..free policy for our
entire park system. I feel that this is vi al to our quality of life. I find it
ironic that smoking coincides with par s.. walking trails.. recreation.
Smoking is deadly.. People in recreatio environments are working out and
taking part in nature" meaning clean ai . Why should I have to put up with
another person"s bad habit that ~ire_ctl affects me? Why should I have to
~I:t~ndon the use of parks because som one else is trying to phYsicaljy-.bur1
~t!? In any other regard, this would no be tolerated.. people physically
hurting other people are ARRESTED. F r some reason, smokers are
allowed to carry a loaded firearm (ciga ette), taking aim at innocent
bystanders. Again, the gun carrying la is very clear" One can"t carry a
gun with them at all times. I ask you hat is the difference between a
cigarette and a gun? They both kill. One just does so quicker than the
other. Now if people want to use toba co in their own home and hurt
themselves, that is up to them. But, hen people are allowed to hurt
others in 1W~lic, I feel that as a societ we need to take a stand.
I plead that you take a stand on this d adly issue. In working with teens,
we promote ""no tobacco use or drug use"", yet going out into the real world
they see tobacco being promoted. St dents going to play or hang out at an
ion~~en,j ~;tr~ are constantly dealing ith this pressure. Where can our
youth go to hang out safely? I know t at you may say that you don"t agree
with smoking.. many people ~@Y this. BUT, as an educator, I have learned
that ~c!ions __ !!peal!, not the words. L tis act on this proposal! I am very
proud of the leadership role that the onticello students have shown.
People always say that the students re our future! Well, this group of
students already recognizes the dangerous nuisance of tobacco use in
parks. Let these students be our voi e and action of our future. Please
enact a tobacco..free policy in all par

Thank you very much for your time in de ling with this very serious
situation. Let our parks be MAGICAL.. m aning tobacco free!

Hello Adam!
Just wanted to give our thumbs up for a smoking ban in our p rks. I realize it may be hard to enforce, however, any way to
give kids the message that it's not okay to hang around parks nd smoke is better than turning away from the truth that
way too many are doing it!
I'm sad what our park has experienced and the only way we c n help is to get involved and keep our presence at the
parks. Let me know any other way we can help...
Thanks!

Monticello Park Board
505 Walnut Street, Suite 1
Monticello, MN 55362
Dear Park Board Members:
Please vote to pass the tobacco-free policy that ou are considering for our Monticello city parks.
I think that the policy should cover all of Monti ello's park property, and that we should have the
policy in place all the time, even during city ev nts like the River Fest celebration. Since we
were the city that started "Don't Smoke Day" s long ago, I think it would be wonderful for our
city to welcome visitors to our city celebration y providing them with clean air and clean parks.
I think we have many beautiful parks in Montie 110 and we are polluting them with all the
cigarette butts that are thrown on the ground. T is tobacco-free policy would also help get rid of
that problem as wel1.
Thank you,

RE: Proposal to make MCC Tobacc Free
Although I don't smoke, I feel that no governme t agency has the right
to ban smoking outdoors. A question of smoking outdoors is no longer a
question of health concerns involving second-ha d smoke. (Especially
because to be fair you'll have to ban all of th other outdoor pollution
as well.) I would support fines for littering (dropping cigarette
butts), but as long as there is no littering, s oking SHOULD be allowed
outdoors. (punish the few litterbugs, not all f the smokers.)
I feel it is just as important for teens to tru y understand the 'US
Constitution', and the 'Bill of Rights' as it i for them to abstain
from tobacco. Where do you draw the line? Hip Hop music makes me just
as ill as the smell of smoke does. I know othe s that feel the same
way. Should we start a movement to ban Hip Hop.
Bans don't discourage, they do just the opposit TATU's efforts would
be better spent using positive and proactive ta tics.
Thank You for showing interest in my opinion.

Good Morning Kitty!
I've missed seeing you in the hallways of your fine establishment I tely. You and your staff, as always, are doing a fabulous job
there at the center. I really appreciate the top-notch facility you are r nning; especially the recent upgrades to the equipment up in
the fitness area.
I believe that the proposal to make the entire facility smoke-free is i keeping with the mission of a facility such as yours- it's all
about fitness, good health, and smart lifestyle choices. I believe that we as adults and those who are leaders in the community
should exemplify these good choices and set an example for our yo ng people. I believe we need to change the old adage, "do as
I say, not as I do" to "do as I do, not as I say"!
I want to thank you and your wonderful staff for providing and main aining the wonderful facility that you have to not only the
members of your community, but for those of us who live in communities that do not have the foresight or the means to provide
such facilities to their own citizens. Thank you for opening your door to those of us who live outside your community.
Keep up the good work!
Sincerely,
Tony White

Ms. Baltos:
I believe making the MCC tobacco-free is a fa ulous idea, as well as
extending that ban to other areas where child en frequent, such as parks
and
trails throughout the community. I shouldn't have to hold my breath
while
entering a building because some rude person r people have gathered
there
to smoke their cigarettes. My children don't to cover their mouths
or
hold their breath and I don't want them expos the smoke either.
Thank you for considering banning smoking fro the MCC premises and
entrances. I hope this will go through.

I support most of the smoking restrictions re uested by TATU. Certainly
entrances to the MeC should be smoke free, as should the public
facilities that the Park & Recreations Board supports (rinks,
playgrounds, athletic fields, tennis courts, etc.) where people gather.
I do not support making parking lots smoke fre
believe that it will be very costly and nearly
smoking ban in these areas. The trails are no
second hand smoke is of minimal concern becaus
runners, and walkers generally aren't smoking
In addition, I suspect that people who are smo

I am a non-smoker, but this proposal seems too all inclusive. I think all indoor areas should be non-smoking, and
doorways, etc. However, the walking paths, and parks shoul not be. These are outdoor areas, and making them non-

I believe the government should not force

services from any particular business. I, the
into places and purchase goods where people t
choice, and I cast my vote through my dollar.
On the other hand, the MCC is subsidized by ta
buildings are held to a different standard. S
capitol buildings, and the like should be smok
accessible to the entire public.

te businesses to be smoke

money, and public

~free to make them
It would be virtually impossible to enforce su h a rule on walking
paths, however. They should be looked at diff rently.

I believe indoor areas should be smoke free. I believe ou door areas such as bleachers or confined areas should
be smoke free.
I am a non-smoker and find smoking offensive. I believe hat people have the right to choose for themselves. I
believe the teens should focus on making good choices for themselves rather than controlling the choices of
everyone. If this were to happen these problems would v ry quickly disappear by themselves.
Thank you for the chance to comment on this issue.

Tobacco Free?
Hi Kitty,
I am not a smoker, and whenever I go out I req est a seat in the
non-smoking
section. I appreciate the right to do that. also appreciate what the
kids are trying to accomplish with their reque t, however, I disagree
with
making our parks, trails, playgrounds etc. tob cco free. I would rather
see
a parent that smokes come to their childs even , or bring their child to
the
park, and step away to smoke, than to not com at all because of
restrictions. If we begin with these restrict ons, where do they end?
We
can educate people on the risks, but we are a ree people, so far, in
this
country and we need to maintain the rights of eople who are not
breaking
the law. We can't force people to do what may e best for them. As
non-smokers we can choose to frequent or not f equent places where
smoking
.s allowed. Let's keep the decision making in the hands of citizens,
ot
government.
Thank you,

Subject: proposed smoking policy
Kitty,
I am writing in response to Amy Dean's request for input on the pr posed smoking policy.
We, as a family have spent countless hours enjoying the great faci ities and parks in the Monticello area over the past ten years. I
don't recall ever having a problem with smokers or second-hand s oke.
I think it is noble and good for the students to become active in pol tical and environmental issues. However, I think that ratifying
this policy is needless and cumbersome. Most people have heard hat second-hand smoke has been proven dangerous, but the
counter argument has just as much support from scientific researc .
I think the city should leave well enough alone. Amy mentioned th group "Teens Against Tobacco Users." I don't know anyone
who would be willing to argue the benefits of smoking. By the sam token, I certainly don't know anyone who form an alliance
against fellow citizens because of their smoking preference.
The only tangible benefit that I see in passing a non-smoking polic would be the civics lesson that the "Teens" would gain.
.he record, both my wife and I are non-smokers.

Publicizing Your Tobacco-Free Policy
Tobacco-Free Youth Recreation (TFYR) recommen s that you communicate your new tobacco-free
policy to your community. A well-publicized poli y informs recreational facility users about the
reasons why the policy has been adopted and help reduce policy violations.
The most important way to publicize your to acco-free policy is by posting signs.
If you have not done so already, contact TFYR t order metal tobacco-free signs. The following
locations are suggested places for posting your t bacco-free signs: fencing around playgrounds
and fields, backstops, picnic shelters, restrooms, oncession stands, parking lot entrances, beach
entrances, lifeguard stands, hiking trail entrances, nd skating rink warming houses.
In addition to posting signs, park and recreation di ectors have used a variety of means to educate
citizens of their communities about their tobacco-f e policies:
. Staff notification of the new policy and settin procedures for how they should handle any
violations that arise.
. Cards explaining the policy distributed by par staff members to park users. Sample cards, p.2.
.
. Stories in the local newspaper or in a regional newspaper, as the result of a news release or
reporters' coverage of city council meetings. raft news release, p.3.
. Park and recreation department and city new letters.
. Recreation program brochures, catalogs, and nnouncements. Sample program brochures from Eagan
Park & Recreation and Richfield Recreation Services, pp.4- .
. Rulebooks or policy statements that are distri uted to sports league administrators, coaches,
officials, parents, and participants. Sample noti ation letter, p 7; Sample team schedule, p.8.
. Other fact sheets or educational articles abou tobacco and secondhand smoke distributed at
coaches' meetings, in mailings, or through ne sletters. Sample articles, pp.9-J J.
. Postings on the park and recreation departm nt's or city's web site.
. Public service announcements on local radio ations or public access cable channels. Sample
announcement, p. J 2.
. Kick-off celebration or community event with obacco-free pledges, activities, etc. Potential
dates for this event: April 3-Kick Butts Day; May l-World No Tobacco Day; Thursday prior to
Thanksgiving-Great American Smoke Out. Sample pie ges, p. J 3; Sample community events, p. J 4.
. . Contact TFYR at (651) 646-3005, your local t bacco-free coalition, or your local public health
agency to assist you in publicizing your tobac o-free policy!

[City Name] PROTECTS YOU G PEOPLE'S HEALTH
BY MAKING PARKS OBACCO FREE
On [Date], the [City name] City Council voted in favor of the health of the children of [City name] by
making [list parks and facilities here] tobacco free. Ef ctive [date], no person will be allowed to use
any form of tobacco under this new policy. The [City ame] Park Board and [other supportive groups
or coalitions] support this policy and brought it to the ity Council for final approval.
[City name] City Council members adopted this policy because they believe that tobacco use in park
areas is detrimental to the health of everyone using the ark system and can be offensive to those using
recreational facilities. They also feel the tobacco-free olicy provides the opportunity to change
community norms around tobacco use and will help to educe youth tobacco use.
"Our goal is to demonstrate to youth that tobacco use i not a part of a healthy lifestyle, and we believe
that this policy can playa part in reducing youth tobac 0 use in our community, which will eventually
save lives," said [park board member or city council m mber], [City name] City Council member.
"_ % of ninth graders in [County name] County us at least one form of tobacco. By adopting this
policy, the City of [City name] is helping reduce the ra e of tobacco use in our community and is
demonstrating their belief that tobacco use and second and smoke just don't belong in park areas
where people go to improve their fitness and enjoy na re," said [citizen/coalition member], [name of
affiliated group].
Council member [name] supports the tobacco-free pol cy because it now complements the [school
district name] school district tobacco-free grounds pol cy. "The city policy will create a consistent
tobacco-free policy among all the recreational facilitie in our community, which eliminates
confusion. "
The [name of coalition or group] assisted the City of [ ity name] in the policy development process
and will be working with city officials to communicat the new tobacco policy, including posting
signage and distributing materials describing the polic and other tobacco prevention resources to all
youth leaders, coaches, and parents. Enforcement oft e policy will come via the signs and community
awareness measures.
The Tobacco-Free Youth Recreation (TFYR) progra , a statewide tobacco prevention program, is
providing [City name] with metal tobacco-free signs ee of charge. "Weare pleased to add [City
name] to the growing list of Minnesota cities with tob ceo-free park policies," said Brittany Meyer,
Director ofTFYR. Currently, [insert number] cities i Minnesota prohibit tobacco use in their park
areas.

Sample Policy Noti Ication Letter
[Date]
Dear [Sports Association Name]:
Every day over 3,000 young Americans decide to sta smoking. Consequently, over one-third of
high school students and over 12% of middle school udents in Minnesota are current smokers.
The decision to remain tobacco free may seem obvio s, but it is often a very difficult choice for
many of the youth involved with your programs. Ho ever, the City of [City name] is attempting to
help make this decision easier by implementing a tob ceo-free policy for [list parks and facilities
here].
The City of [City name] adopted this tobacco-free po icy because we believe that tobacco use in
park areas is detrimental to the health of everyone usi g the park system. We also believe that
creating a tobacco-free recreational environment will e1p change our community's norms about
tobacco use. Finally, the City of [City name] also fee s that parents, leaders, and officials are role
models for youth and can have a positive effect on th lifestyle choices they make by being tobacco-
free role models for them.
Enclosed is a copy the City's new tobacco-free polic for our park areas. Please distribute it to
members of your organization. If you'd like addition I tobacco prevention information and
materials, please contact the Tobacco-Free Youth Re reation program at tfyr@ansrmn.org or (651)
646-3005. If you have any questions about the new olicy, please contact me at [phone
number/email] .
Sincerely,
[Name]
Recreation Coordinator
[City name] Park & Recreation Department

"Smoking Deflates Teens' Sports Performance"
by Christin Pick
Tobacco-Free Yout Recreation
Jennifer, a high school junior, flops down on the be ch next to her teammates, exhausted. Her
chest is burning and her lungs are frantically gaspin for air. Jennifer is a dedicated volleyball
player, so it's not the workout that has left her so e austed. Jennifer is experiencing firsthand
the effects of smoking. Smokers, like Jennifer, lose heir breath three times as fast as
nonsmokers. Smoking hurts young people's physic I fitness in terms of both performance and
endurance. It reduces the amount of oxygen availab e to the body, hampering an athlete's energy
stores and impairing their sports performance.
Cigarette smoke contains carbon monoxide (the sam lethal gas that is released by motor vehicle
exhaust). When inhaled, the carbon monoxide foun in cigarette smoke is absorbed rapidly into
the bloodstream. As the level of carbon monoxide i the blood increases, the level of oxygen
decreases, leaving less oxygen available for the bod to use. These high levels of carbon
monoxide not only cause shortness of breath, but als have a significant effect on the heart and
other muscle cells that demand high amounts of oxy en. High blood levels of carbon monoxide
caused by smoking impair physical fitness in other ays as well: distorted time perception, and
impaired psychomotor, visual, and cognitive skills. f a young athlete cannot think, see, or make
good decisions, he or she will certainly have a more ifficult time participating in sports and
recreational activities.
Smoking among young people can also hamper thei rate of lung growth and the level of
maximum lung function. In fact, smoking is respon ible for coughing and an increase in the
frequency and severity of respiratory illnesses a you g person may experience. Smoking can
also cause chronic swelling of mucous membranes, hich causes teen smokers to cough up twice
as much phlegm as nonsmoking teens.
All of these smoking-related symptoms cause young athletes to feel sick much more often than
their tobacco-free teammates, making it difficult for mokers to compete at everyone else's level
of physical fitness. Coaches and parents, talk to you young athletes about the effects of tobacco
use on physical performance and help them remain ealthy for years to come.

"Do as I Say, A 0 as I Do:
Coaching Tob ceo Free"
by Christin Pick
Tobacco-Free You h Recreation
Athletes are often seen looking to the sidelines for irections from their coaches during games.
The coach guides them through the high-pressure s tuations of the game with encouragement and
instruction. Athletes, however, not only look to th ir coaches for direction on the field, but off
the field as well.
Coaches and recreational leaders are important rol models for young athletes. Since recreation
provides a setting for young athletes to bond to get er as a group, youth feel compelled to follow
the standards set forth by their leaders. They have powerful influence on youth, and can
positively use this to promote healthy lifestyles to heir team. One such healthy behavior is
refraining from tobacco use. By supporting young people's decision to be tobacco free and
modeling a tobacco-free lifestyle, recreational lead rs also help youth choose to remain tobacco
free.
Many times through the words, actions, and exam Ie they set, coaches influence the way their
players think about the choices they will make in I fe. To help their athletes perform their best,
coaches often talk to them about the importance 0 good sportsmanship, nutrition, and refraining
from alcohol use. They should also discuss the ne ative physical effects of tobacco use and the
importance of being tobacco free.
Coaches must emphasize to athletes that tobacco u e hinders physical fitness in both
performance and endurance. Tobacco use lowers e level of lung function and reduces the
amount of oxygen available to the muscles used d ring recreational activities. Also, athletes
who use tobacco will suffer from shortness of bre th almost three times as often as teens that
don't smoke.
By talking to athletes about living a tobacco-free I festyle, coaches show that they care about the
health of young people and want them to choose h althy lifestyles. Coaches must not only
communicate with their athletes about refraining om tobacco use, but must live tobacco-free
lifestyles themselves. By being tobacco free, coa hes and leaders model positive, healthy
lifestyle choices.

"Smokeless Doesn't. ean Harmless"
by Christin
Tobacco-Free You
The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd, the ove helming aroma of hotdogs fills the air...ah,
baseball. Unfortunately, baseball has developed a f: r worse association-spit tobacco. Many
people see spit tobacco as a normal, routine part of aseball. This needs to change-fast!
Recent surveys of major and minor league baseball layers show that 30-40% of players use spit
tobacco. Baseball players are role models for child n, and they send powerful messages to
young people. By using spit tobacco, athletes are s nding the wrong message. They are telling
young people that this is an acceptable behavior.
The reality is spit tobacco is not any safer than ciga ettes. In fact, spit tobacco users consume on
average more than 10 times the amount ofnitrosimi es-one of the substances in tobacco
believed to cause cancer-than cigarette smokers. urthermore, it takes only a few months of
regular use to develop mouth problems like leukopl kia, ugly white patches or sores that can turn
into cancer. The truth is that 87% of oral cancer cas s are directly linked to spit tobacco. Users
also risk health problems such as high blood pressu ,gum recession, tooth decay and decreased
sense of taste and smell.
Youth who participate in recreational activities are t higher risk to start using spit tobacco. In
addition to baseball players, young people who participate in hockey, wrestling, hunting, rodeo
events, and many other youth activities use spit toba co. The tobacco industry is targeting these
sports and recreational activities with ads and prom tional items because they know that athletes
have a strong influence on children.
The National Spit Tobacco Education Program (NS EP) was established to break the strong link
between recreation and smokeless tobacco. Throug NSTEP's partnership with Major League
Baseball, they have been able to help more and mor coaches, players, and parents learn about
the devastating effects of spit tobacco by showing at smokeless tobacco is not a substitute for
smoking. To find out more information about the d ngers of smokeless tobacco and NSTEP's
available resources, visit their website at <www.nst p.org>.

Examples of Com unity Events
Attending or hosting your own community events is a great way to promote healthy lifestyles to young
people and the entire community. Tobacco-Free Yout Recreation (TFYR) has compiled ideas for
local activities to help raise awareness around the har ful effects of tobacco in your local community.
Each idea can be combined with an existing event to e hance it, or it can stand alone as its own
event. Remember to be creative and involve your loca youth in planning your event. TFYR has
banners, posters, tobacco-free pledges, signage and 0 her resources that can help add to your event.
If you would like any additional help planning your eve t, contact TFYR at (651) 646-3005.
Tobacco-Free School Assembly
Conduct sports-related anti-tobacco assemblies with I cal elementary, junior high and high schools to
raise awareness about the danger of tobacco use and he benefits of living a tobacco-free lifestyle.
Ask young athletes to talk to their peers about why the don't use tobacco or invite high profile
athletes to discuss how remaining tobacco free has he ped them reach their athletic goals.
.
Striking Out Tobacco
Work with a local junior high or high school to host a st dent/faculty softball game (or other sporting
event) where the theme of the event will feature a toba co prevention message. Work with local
youth to develop the slogan that will be used for the ev nt or use an existing sports-related anti-
tobacco slogan. Feature the slogan on banners or t-s irts, or think of other ways to promote the
tobacco-free message at the event.
Tobacco~Free Olympics
Work with local recreational organizations and school istricts to recruit young people to participate in
your own local youth Olympic-style event. Youth can ompete in various activities including relay
races, the 100-yard dash, and a punt, pass and kick c mpetition. You can work with the local media
to promote the event and raise awareness around the armful effects of tobacco. During the event
you can promote the tobacco-free message to those i attendance and ask participants to sign
pledges to remain tobacco-free.
Kids Kicking Their Way to a Healthy Lifestyle
Have kids get their parent's permission to look for old agazines in their home and remove tobacco
ads found in the magazines. Ask them to bring the ad to school to construct a mural that would fit
the dimensions of a soccer goal (22' by 8'). Invite pee and high-profile soccer players to the event to
remind the children that to be a champion on the field, ou must remain tobacco free. The day of the
event, ask the young soccer to fans kick the soccer ba Is through the mural, destroying the ads and
freeing the goal for play. This is a great way to illustra e to kids how they are targeted by the tobacco
industry.
Tobacco-Free Tailgating Event
Holding a tailgating event at a local park is a great wa to recognize organizations that have worked to
make the youth recreational facilities in the community tobacco-free. Invite the local media and
present the local park and recreation department with certificate for their great work.
