Over 120 Second Graders Taught To Swim
For the fifth consecutive year, all second graders in Hillsboro Unit School District received a week's worth of beginner swim lessons at Fusion. More than 120 students completed the program over a three-week period in April.
The pupils from Beckemeyer and Coffeen schools, accompanied by their teachers and aides, were taken by bus to Fusion, where they were given individualized instruction in the pool on how to float and perform basic swimming strokes. Each two-hour outing also included classroom lessons on water safety while swimming and boating.
Instructors were Fusion Aquatics Coordinator Amanda Rakers, Kurtis Clark, Steven Livingstone, Amanda Boston, Joshua Street, Mary Ann Howard, Nancy Slepicka, Janet McElroy, Joy Golden and Executive Director Jessica Chappelear.
Second grade lessons are jointly sponsored by Hillsboro Area Health Services and Hillsboro Unit School District. Since the program's inception more than 600 children have received the free introduction to swimming and water safety. Parents are encouraged to advance their child's swimming skills by enrolling them in group or private lessons, which are offered year-round at Fusion.

Member Of The Month Logs Lots Of Miles To Stay Fit
Helen Huber of Nokomis, our May Member of the Month, says she has been driving to Fusion at least four days a week since becoming a member more than seven years ago.
Do the arithmetic: 7 years x 52 weeks x 4 days = 1456 visits x her 30-mile round trip from home = 43,680 miles. That's a commitment to fitness!
Even more -- 80-year-old Helen is here when the facility opens at 5:30 am weekdays and 7 am Saturday, ready to spend about an hour in the pool doing aerobic exercises.
"I'm an early riser and I love the water," she says.
Before Fusion, Helen says she regularly did aerobics in the Nokomis public pool during the summer months and at the community center the rest of the year. She also enjoys walking for exercise.
She and her husband, Donald, have four daughters, 13 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
Helen's description of Fusion? "It's a lovely place."
