To The Citizens of Christiansburg Dear Friends and Neighbors: As the hint of green grass pokes through our earth’s surface, the dogwoods start to bloom and the sightings of the American robin become more noticeable it is a sure sign that spring is fast approaching. This is the perfect time to enjoy the recreational opportunities that the Town of Christiansburg has to offer! Your Christiansburg Parks and Recreation Department exists to promote and implement leisure programs and services that enhance the quality of life for all ages. In partnership with the community, we strive to deliver quality leisure programs in a personal, effective and successful manner. We serve you, the citizens of Christiansburg and our visiting neighbors, to provide a positive relationship while growing and building our special community. As spring approaches, I would encourage you to enjoy the many outdoor recreational adventures that we have to offer. The smell of fresh cut grass signifies that baseball and softball season is in full swing. Just as the American Robin sightings become more noticeable in the spring, so do the sounds of family laughter and excitement at our parks and playgrounds. The true connection between you and nature can be gained by witnessing the sights and sounds of nature’s beauty while walking along the Huckleberry Trail which leads to the Christiansburg Recreation Center. Do you need a little more structured environment to meet your health needs? Join us indoors at the Christiansburg Recreation Center for our many community fitness programs, various educational classes and health screenings. Exercise is a very important part of a healthy lifestyle, so be sure to exercise in our cardiovascular and weight rooms or simply take a nice stroll on the 1/8 mile indoor track. Are you over the age of 50? Come and enjoy our seniors lounge, billiards room and covered patio. There are many Senior Center specific activities and events for you to partake in as well. Looking for some exciting summer events? Please join our community as we celebrate the Annual Fourth of July Celebration. This day will be filled with many exciting festivities and will be topped off with an epic fireworks demonstration that is sure to provide thrills for the entire family. The Harkrader Sports Complex will be the host site for the 2014 Nations Ultimate Baseball World Series along with the 2014 USSSA Baseball World Series. These baseball players will put their team’s skills and abilities to the test to earn the right to be named Worlds Series Champions in each of these events. I am excited to be entering this spring here with you, in the Town of Christiansburg. I look forward to maintaining the recreational opportunities that are currently in place while also looking at future ways that we can better serve you and enhance your recreational experiences. The Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation is in the process of completing our future parks and recreational master plan, so this will give us great insight as to what you the citizens of Christiansburg are looking for with your future recreational needs. I look forward to working with each of you to provide a positive relationship while growing and building our special community. Christiansburg is truly a progressive small town living at its best. Best wishes to each of you for a bright, active and beautiful spring and summer. Sincerely yours, Brad Epperley, Director of Parks and Recreation

LIGHTNING POLICY

Due to the significant risks and possibility of fatal injury from lightning strikes, it is imperative the Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation have a clear policy on how to deal with lightning in and around the areas of practice and / or competition. This policy will help to clearly state the department's position on this issue and help to define roles of certain individuals during the decision making process. The coaching and support staff’s primary responsibility is for the safety and concern of the participants. The following plan will be in effect for all Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation youth and adult athletic events, including practices and special events: Depending on the event being played the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach will monitor the weather. This will be done through the use of the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning and Storm detector (if equipped) or by the Flash-to Bang Method. In the event of threatening or inclement weather the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach will inform the participants and spectators either through the public address system or any other means available of impending severe weather. GENERAL POLICY: A member of the Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation Staff, if on site will monitor the weather and make the decision to notify the Game Field Supervisor (during a game) or Head Coach (during practice) of dangerous situations and recommend the suspension of activity in the event of lightning. Exceptions will be made for any activity where a Christiansburg Department of Parks and Recreation or Game Field Supervisor is not in attendance, whereby the supervising coach will have the ability to suspend activity. The decision to suspend activity will be based on:  

Any reported lightning strike on the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning/Storm Detector within the 10 mile range regardless of the presence of visible lightning. (This device is portable and will be in the possession of the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor, Game Field Supervisor or Coach). Utilization of the Flash-to-Bang Method (Count the seconds from the time the lightning is sighted to when the clap of thunder is heard. Divide this number by five to obtain how far away, in miles, the lightning is occurring.) If it reveals lightning to be within 10 miles (a 50 second count between the flash of lightning and the bang of thunder) activity is to be suspended and everyone should seek shelter immediately.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUSPENSION OF ACTIVITY: Once it is determined that there is a danger of inclement weather, the Youth Athletic or Adult Athletic Supervisor will notify the Game Field Supervisor (during a game). The Head Coach (during practice) should immediately request the removal of all players, coaches, from the playing field when receiving text message on any reported lightning strike on the DTN Weather Sentry Lightning/Storm Detector within the 10 mile range. If DTN Weather Sentry Lightning/Storm Detector is not available revert to using the Flash-to-Bang Method. The coaches’ primary responsibility is for the safety and concern of the participants. EVACUATION OF THE PLAYING FIELD AND STANDS: Immediately following the public address announcement (if available) of suspension of play, all players, coaches, officials, support personnel and spectators are to evacuate the facility to their vehicles, bus. Participants and spectators should be advised that we do not consider the areas under the (Picnic shelters' or bathrooms) at Kiwanis Park) or dugouts to be safe in the case of lightning. All parties will be urged to remain in a safe location until conditions improve unless otherwise notified by appropriate representatives. RETURN TO PLAY: Play will be resumed 30 minutes following the last lightning strike. The last lightning strike will be determined by either the detection system or visual confirmation. The 30 minute time frame will immediately start over with each additional lightning strike. All coaches that would like to receive information on our weather system or would like to get text messages on storms and lightning in the area for practices and games should contact Chuck Muncy at (540) 382–2349.
