MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Summer is here and the City is ready to meet your recreation needs. Whether it be organized sports, water oriented activity, social events, or outdoor recreation, we have something for everyone. As the Director I’m excited about a lot of things, but nothing compares to the completion of the new HAPO Community Stage at John Dam Plaza. It’s been through testing, an opening day of performing arts, and a tribute concert and all signs point to a resounding success. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this much positive energy around a project and what it represents. A big thank you to HAPO, the State of Washington, the local business community, and tourists that contribute to the City’s lodging tax revenue. Because of these external funding sources and partners the City was able to deliver the project without the use of local general fund revenue. Your City Council and leadership team have a track record of operating the City in a fiscally conservative manner and has the luxury to provide enhancement projects that go beyond the basic provision of essential services. The quality of life in Richland is what we all find attractive in our community and I hope this stage can contribute and be a place for many generations to enjoy.
Joe Schiessl Director of Parks & Public Facilities
COMMISSIONER CORNER Spring is definitely here and with summer just around the corner it will soon be time to take full advantage of the parks and programing offered by the Richland Department of Parks and Recreation. Sadly, much of the public at large fail to comprehend fully the impact of the work performed by the Park and Recreation Department, City Council and the Parks and Recreation Commission – labors that touch the lives of many of our fellow citizens. Integrated into the those service groups are other City of Richland departments such as the Police, Fire, City Planners, Library, Visual & Performing Arts, Schools, Social Services, and other special interest groups who provide valued input and coordination. Through their collective efforts and related public service and volunteering in our community to improve the lives of their fellow citizens, they have a beneficial effect on the quality of life for our City. Along with this diverse group, I am proud to be a participant in representing my community. The month of April brought the completion and unveiling of the John Dam Plaza Amphitheater and the first phase of renovations for the plaza. This progressive step forward would not have been possible without the intricate coordination, attention to detail, funding furnished by tax payers and sponsorship provided by our corporate partner, HAPO Community Credit Union. So in celebration of Summer 2016 come out and enjoy YOUR parks, especially our new amphitheater and remember ‌ WE built it! Barry L. Richards City of Richland Parks & Recreation Commission, Member

COLUMBIA POINT GOLF COURSE First Green of Washington Links as Labs www.thefirstgreen.org Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Carl Thompson and I’m the Certified Golf Course Superintendent at Columbia Point Golf Course here in Richland. I recently joined the First Green of Washington Links as Labs program. I’m looking to partner with local teachers in using Columbia Point as an outdoor classroom for your STEM curriculum. The First Green was established to provide and promote environmental education. They connect educators with superintendents to host outdoor ‘learning labs’ on their golf courses. This type of lab allows students to perform handson experiments and tests within the focus of the school’s environmental science and horticulture curriculum. The First Green was founded in 1997 in the greater Seattle area. This organization achieved tremendous popularity and quickly gained the support of national, regional and local groups. Currently there are programs in Washington, Oregon, California, New Jersey, Florida and British Columbia. There are a number of different topics you can choose for these learning stations– it all depends on your specific agenda. I’ve been provided a Resource Kit with additional lesson plans available on the First Green website. These plans are flexible and easily combined in various ways. Some examples of lesson plans include:
Measuring irregular areas such as putting green square footage. Volume Calculations – for instance how much sand is needed to topdress a green to a ¼ inch depth? Using a soil sieve device to determine percentages of sand, silt and clay. Testing water quality and pH.
Call today and I’ll include a fun golf activity for your kids. When the lesson is over they can participate in a putting contest. Give your kids a field trip they’ll never forget! Sincerely, Carl Thompson, CGCS Columbia Point Golf Course 509-946-1074 Cell 509-438-5185 cthompson@playcolumbiapoint.com

The color stages are used to divide students into broad ability groups. Children progress at individual rates with the opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Learning is self‐paced but challenging. Starfish Stroke School™ Students refine freestyle and learn stroke technique for backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke, and more! Core Skill Achievement Stages

They are caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. In other words, even a “ding” or bump on the head can be serious. You can’t see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury, or can take hours to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek attention right away. For current and up-to-date information on concussions go to: www.cdc.gov/concussion Photo Release Photographs of participants may be taken for promotional purposes. Please notify staff or photographer if you do not wish to have your photograph taken.
