Lake Country This Month

FREEMAN & ENTERPRISE LAKE COUNTRY • Page 3B July 2016 Celebrate ... HARTLAND 250786003 Hartland sees growth while maintaining hometown feel By Dave Lemerand Hartland village president Q.) What makes Hart- land special? A.) First and foremost it is the citizens (both individu- als and business owners) in our community. They repre- sent blue collar to white collar, from small business to large business. We have a housing stock that allows the working family to live and thrive in the village. We have great educational opportunities from the Hart- land-Lakeside Elementary District to the Arrowhead High School District. In addition to the public edu- cation we have parochial elementary schools at St. Charles, Divine Redeemer, and Zion elementary schools. Also we are the home of Lake Country Lutheran High School. We have one of the best emergency services depart- ments in the entire area. Our police department is one of only a handful of departments in the state to be recognized and accredit- ed. Our fire department has been the most stable, effi- cient department in the area. The firefighters and EMTs are among the best in the state. In addition our Department of Public Works does a fantastic job in main- taining our parks, the water and sewer systems and maintaining the roadways in winter as well as summer. I also must add our dedicat- ed administrative personnel from the village administra- tor all the way down to the crossing guards. The admin- istrative staff has the lowest turnover rate of any com- munity in the state. All of our personnel are dedicated and proud to be part of the village. Hartland is home to some of the best service groups in the Lake Country area. Our chamber of commerce is extremely active all year as well as the Rotary and Kiwanis. All of our service groups undertake fund raising for projects in our community. These groups have donated time and money to make our commu- nity better. As an example, the Rotary built and donated the Nixon Park Splash Pad and the Kiwanis built and donated the shelters around the pad. These are just typical of the energy and attitude of the people that belong to these service groups. Q.) What is it like to raise a family in Hartland? A.) Fantastic! My wife and I raised our two children here. Between the great school system and village parks it is an idyllic place to raise a family. For sports we have soccer, T-ball, little league-type baseball, foot- ball and other opportunities. The village's Recreation Department runs programs year round from little kids to senior citizens. Just Google our Village Recreation Department on the Internet for a complete listing of all the opportunities. We have a first-class library that has had growing usage every year. The library has read- ing events for toddlers to adults. The village has an extensive walk path system of paths and sidewalks that our families can transverse from end to end in the village. Q.) What are some up- coming events in Hartland? A. Each year in June, the village hosts a fishing clinic at the Nixon Park Lagoon. The DNR stocks the pond each year and we use it to teach basic fishing skills. The Hometown Celebra- tion is this weekend, through Sunday. Held in Nixon Park there will be music, food and drink avail- able. On Saturday, the Audacious Beer & Barbecue event is held in the park with food, drink and music. On Sunday, the Hometown Celebration Parade begins at 1 p.m. and winds through the Village Center. Hartland is home to the Street Dance of Lake Country. This event is on Saturday, July 17 from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m. Great music, food and drink and family activities sponsored by the Hartland Chamber of Commerce. In July, we have a kids day in the park on Wednesday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and includes all sorts of kids entertainment and activities. Please Google Hartland kids day for complete information. In December, the Canadi- an Pacific Holiday Train stops in Hartland. Last year there were thousands and thousands of kids and adults in attendance. This is also a fundraiser and food collection for our area food pantries. Each year CP Rail donates thousands of dollars to our local food pantries. Q.) How is Hartland changing or growing? A.) Hartland has been consistently growing over the years except for the time of the recession. During that time we saw slow but contin- ued growth in our industrial parks. But in the last two- plus years we have seen a tremendous boom in the housing starts. Currently we have three subdivisions under development. As far as changing we, the Village Board, see the village growth as positives and we try to maintain the small hometown feel. We believe that we have succeeded in keeping our local hometown feel and attitude that is and has been demonstrated by the involvement of the business community and the residents in supporting the activities like the fireworks, the parade and the Holiday Train. While we have grown over the years, the founda- tion of community has thrived and maintained our traditions and history. Q.) What is a little known fact about Hartland? A.) Hartland is the FIRST Ice Age Trail Community in the state. Q.) What is your favorite part about living in Hart- land? A.) My favorite part in living here has been the opportunity given to me by the voters to help lead our village for the last 28 years as president. The greatness of the village belongs to the people who live and work here. Hartland — a village of many greats By Lynn T. Minturn Hartland Chamber of Commerce executive director HARTLAND — Incorpo- rated in 1892, Hartland has grown substantially, yet still retains a quaint small-town atmosphere.
