Multnomah Arts Center’s Youth Arts Program: Puppets Connect Our Local Youth By Judith Pulman and Aimé Kelly, Multnomah Arts Center Staff There’s something wonderful about puppets. You’ve probably had the pleasure of slipping a puppet onto your hand or finger or placing a mask on your face. Or you’ve ´ Suddenly you’ve found another voice drawn a mouth and eyes on a paper bag and voila! and persona, and with these, a new way to connect. ´
So join in on the fun: on Saturdays in fall 2015, Multnomah Arts Center (MAC) will offer puppet making classes to youth. Participants will get to make their own puppets and will have the opportunity to perform in MAC’s December theatre showcase. In 2016, the puppetry program will expand to include puppeteering courses for people of all ages. These classes come on the heels of the SW Youth Puppeteers marching in the Multnomah Days Parade on August 15, 2015. This parade contingent was made up of local youth, including youth from Stephens Creek Crossing (SCC), which is located less than a mile from MAC. Two weeks of puppet-making classes from August 3-14 were supported by a grant from the Office of Neighborhood Involvement and Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc. and support from the Multnomah Arts Center Association, a nonprofit that supports MAC. Though hand and rod puppets are popular - think Kermit or Elmo - puppet theatre involves more than moving a puppet’s mouth and talking in a funny voice. From the stitching of costumes to improvisations on stage to the setup of the lights, puppetry is a collaborative art. Well-envisioned Leading the SW ensemble puppetry has the potential to become larger than Youth Puppeteers life and includes the creation of kinetic sculptures, people is the puppeteer becoming landscapes, and the presentation of stories that extraordinaire, Meg show what it is to be fully human.

Since MAC has classes in the disciplines of Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Literary Arts, there’s no telling what kind of puppetry performances might come to life in Multnomah Village and what impact they might have on our community. Classes here continue to offer the community a wide variety of ways to explore themselves, their imagination, and this world we share.

Portland Parks & Recreation - Fall 2015
Last fall, Portland voters overwhelmingly supported the Parks Replacement Bond. Thank you! Because of that support, we are pleased to announce that work is beginning on multiple projects across the city of Portland. The Parks Replacement Bond will repair and replace critical structures in the parks system, including playgrounds, bridges, pools, and roofs. Bond projects will also seek to eliminate barriers to accessibility for people with disabilities.
Here are a few highlights of bond projects planned for the west side:
NORTH PARK BLOCKS: A design process will begin this fall to replace the playground in this Pearl neighborhood park.
PIONEER COURTHOUSE SQUARE: The Square will receive a new waterproof membrane and other structural repairs to protect the integrity of our City’s Living Room.
WASHINGTON PARK ROSE GARDEN: Accessibility improvements will ensure that the parking, south entry, and main esplanade of this historic attraction are accessible to all as the Garden prepares for its Centennial celebrations.

FOREST PARK: Trail bridges will be replaced on the much-loved Maple and Lower Macleay Trails to allow for healthy recreation opportunities for years to come.
RIEKE FIELD: This synthetic turf field will receive a full renovation, including drainage, grading, and other improvements to the delight of many soccer players in SW Portland.
COUCH PARK PLAYGROUND: A new playground will be designed in a community process this fall to replace the wooden playground structure removed in 2014. PP&R will be working with the Friends of Couch Playground who have committed to raising an additional $500,000 to supplement the bond project budget and create an inclusive playground. Find out more about the fundraising efforts at www.friendsofcouchplayground.com. This park will also benefit from plaza improvements and a new Portland Loo. The bonds were sold in July, so project planning is just beginning. Go to www.parksreplacementbond.org for the latest updates as plans are further developed and refined.

Portland Parks & Recreation - Fall 2015
An interview with Heather Hunter, Lead Recreation Service Representative, SWCC Interviewed by SWCC Director, MaryAnn Takashima What’s your earliest memory of participating in a recreation program or visiting a community center? Growing up in a rural town in Michigan meant that my sister and I didn’t have a lot of places to hang out and have fun. It was always a treat when we could visit the local recreation center which was 45 minutes away in a nearby town. Throughout the years, we took swim lessons, played tennis, and even had a few all-night parties with our friends. These trips were so special to us- it felt like we were going on vacation! I’m so happy to help provide this healthy family fun to our patrons.
and Recreation District coordinating nature outreach programs, school field trips and assisting customers at the front desk. I am now proud to start my career with Portland Parks and Recreation leading the front desk team at Southwest Community Center.
What is the most unexpected thing you’ve learned while working at SWCC? In the past several months I have learned that the people who come to visit are looking for so much more than a place to work out or attend a class. They are truly part of the southwest community. People share stories about their families, encourage each other to continue a healthy lifestyle and help each other through hard times. I am so happy to know the people I’ve met so far and can’t wait to see who else will walk through our doors!
It would be great to get a general summary of your background: Where you grew up, past work experience, etc. I am from a small town in northern Michigan right on Lake Superior were I spent most of my childhood being active outside exploring the woods and playing in the water. After high school, I volunteered full time for AmeriCorps where I was fortunate enough to work for the Denver Broncos Boys and Girls Club, a YMCA Youth Camp and a Milwaukee City Park clean-up crew. Through those experiences I learned that I wanted to pursue a career in recreation. Since graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science, I had the pleasure to work for the Chicago Park District beautifying parks and moved on to run a nature outreach program throughout the city. After two years of teaching camp kids nature concepts and organizing outdoor adventures like sailing, kayaking and camping, I moved from Chicago. After my husband and I arrived in Portland, I spent a year with the Tualatin Hills Park

that provides so many opportunities for people to meet each other, have fun and stay healthy. I was lucky enough to find a position here at Southwest Community Center that allowed me to bring together my love of excellent customer service and community programming. I think that Southwest is one of the crowning jewels in the Parks Bureau and am so happy to call it home.
I’m happy that we have such a varied program schedule and I can build on my previous experiences. I’m also so happy that our visitors are so wonderful and make me proud to help them every day. How did you become interested in working at Southwest Community Center? When I moved to Portland, I knew wanted to continue my career in recreation. Portland Parks and Recreation is an amazing organization
Tell me a little bit about your coworkers/the team at SWCC? I am so proud to be a part of the Southwest Community Center team! Everyone who works here is friendly, knowledgeable and has a passion for what we provide to our community. With our staff combined, we have hundreds of years of Parks and Recreation experience and everyone is eager to share their own expertise with the group. This collaborative attitude makes it fun and interesting to work here.
What is your favorite part of the job? I love when I see our visitors smile! Sometimes it’s an adult proud of themselves for attending a group exercise class, sometimes it’s a parent proud of their child’s swim lesson graduation, or it may be a summer camper seeing their new friends walk in for the day. No matter the reason, it is amazing to know that I was able to help improve someone’s day. The front desk is a very busy place, how do you keep everything straight?The front desk at Southwest Community Center helps hundreds of people each day. As you can imagine, this keeps us all pretty busy! Our visitors are the first priority, so we always put all of our other work on hold until we slow down. Therefore, I find it’s helpful to keep an ongoing list of items to take care of as things come up throughout the day. Whenever there is a slow moment, we tackle it as a team. We also rely very heavily on our calendars! Every single shift we take a moment to review all the programs that are going on in the building. We want to be able to help people find their fitness class, birthday party, or swim lesson as quickly as we can, so it helps to review it often! What do you think makes SWCC unique? Southwest Community Center is unique because there is such a variety of people who use the facility. We have people of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness abilities. Throughout the day we’ll see families coming for classes or swimming, teenagers hanging out with their friends, couples on dates and individuals of all ages here to get healthy and work out. I have been to many other community centers where the environment is not so inclusive. I am proud of our diversity and love that we can bring all of these people together in one place. What do you like to do for fun? When I am not at Southwest Community Center, you will usually find me outdoors - I love hiking, biking, swimming, running and playing with my two dogs. My husband and I love to travel, eat out, go to concerts, and sightsee - even if it’s in our own wonderful city! When I’m home relaxing, you will always find me in my kitchen - I love to cook and recently started my own vegetable garden to fuel my inspiration. What are some of your favorite places since moving to the Pacific Northwest? I absolutely love the Pacific Northwest! In the past two years I have enjoyed exploring everything from splashing around at secluded Ecola Beach to exploring the high desert outside of Bend. Oregon is beautiful and I keep finding amazing trails, waterfalls, and other great places to explore! I have also enjoyed how easy it is to get to other areas even in a short trip. My husband and I have traveled to the Olympic Peninsula, Redwood National Park and recently went to Yosemite. I’m hoping my future adventures will include exploring the Painted Hills and camping in the Wallowa Mountains. If you have any suggestions for my next adventure I’m all ears!

SW Neighborhoods Parks and Community Centers Committee By Leonard Gard, Program Manager, SWNI
SMITH SCHOOL The SW Neighborhoods Parks Committee is one of five standing committees of SW Neighborhoods, Inc. (SWNI). SWNI is a nonprofit corporation that has a contract with the city to provide services to 17 neighborhood associations in southwest Portland. The Parks Committee’s purpose as stated in its action plan is to “act as a forum for the community through neighborhood contacts and representatives and other interested parties to advocate for and promote the use of parks and recreation facilities.” The statement goes on to broadly define parks to include open spaces of all types, including golf courses, school fields, even cemeteries. Committee members in June discussed one of those open spaces. They met at Smith School at the edge of the school field. It was a beautiful evening. Smith School has been closed for years but the field remains an important asset for the community—it is the only open space for recreational activity in Ashcreek neighborhood. The Ashcreek Neighborhood Association recently constructed a path along the edge of the field. Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R) is now maintaining the field. Our committee member from Ashcreek urged that we request that the school district guarantee that the field will always remain for recreational use.
APRIL HILL PARK In May, Oregon State University (OSU) alumni volunteered to do a work party in the park. It was part of the OSU Alumni Service Day, a world-wide event. An OSU alumna who grew up in the Maplewood neighborhood, which includes April Hill Park, recommended April

Hill Park as a worthy site. Volunteers placed cardboard and mulch on grass to prepare it for planting, and placed a fallen tree to create salamander habitat. During the work party, three neighborhood volunteers joined in and built a split rail fence.
HOMELESS PEOPLE IN PARKS Our committee representative from the Homestead neighborhood recently reported an increase in camping by homeless people in Terwilliger Parkway and Marquam Nature Park. Recently, campers lit a large fire to do cooking. That was near the Buhler Cut-off. Janelle St. Pierre of PP&R sent out some information on what PP&R does in response to such activities. The committee will address the issue in an upcoming meeting.
PARKS COMMITTEE MEETINGS The committee is one of the standing committees of Southwest Neighborhoods, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that serves seventeen neighborhood associations in southwest Portland. The committee meets every first Thursday of the month, usually at the Multnomah Arts Center. The public is always invited to attend. For more information, call Leonard at 503-823-4592. And subscribe to SWNI’s monthly newspaper, the SW Neighborhood News, by calling or visiting the website, www.swni.org. It’s free.
MARSHALL PARK PLAYGROUND DEDICATION On Saturday, June 13, the Marshall Park Neighborhood Association dedicated the new playground in Marshall Park. The weather was ideal. About 100 people attended, including lots of children. Special guests included John DeLance and Amy Steingrebe, residents of Marshal Park NA who helped steward the project; Commissioner Amanda Fritz; Director Mike Abbate, and Eileen Argentina from Portland Parks & Recreation (PP&R); and State Parks Deputy Director MG Devereaux. Descendants of the couple who donated the initial piece of property that composed Marshall Park also attended. In 1947, F.C. and Addie Marshall donated to the city about eleven acres of land, a former quarry that the Marshalls restored. Later, the city added more acres to create the beautiful park we now have. The new playground incorporates both conventional play components and an environmental exploration area. Much of the funding for the playground improvements came from a grant from Oregon Parks & Recreation. The grant also provided funding for ADA access, stream habitat improvements, and educational signage.

Portland Parks & Recreation - Fall 2015
The Sprout Academy EDUCATIONAL PRESCHOOL
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Sprout Academy was proudly introduced as Southwest Community Center’s educational preschool in the spring of 2009. At that time, we offered a pilot Pre-Kindergarten class with just 6 students to start. Today, we provide environmentally-focused early childhood education for ages 2, 3 & 4 to more than 60 families! The Sprout Academy is offered exclusively at Southwest Community Center.
PHILOSOPHY
Our teaching philosophy is children learn through Play. Learning through play encourages children to build a strong social foundation for their future. A sustainable philosophy of education focused in both ecological and social consciousness coupled with learning through play engages children in interactions with the natural world in an open-ended way allowing their curiosity to take root and imagination take flight. With the magic AGE of our wonderful Gabriel Park onsite & the utility of (as of 9/1/15) our community garden plot, we strive to open young minds to independent thinking & creativity. 2
WHAT IS A GREEN PRESCHOOL?
Sprout is certified ecohealthy by the OEC. Learn more at www.OEConline.org
In spring of 2010, the Sprout Academy became certified Eco-Healthy by the Oregon Environmental Council. SWCC’s Director, the Preschool program manager, and teachers collaborated to pass a 30-point checklist and bring the classroom setting up to the OEC’s standards for an Eco-Healthy Child Care. From the paint on the walls, to the cleaning products we use, to the educational materials on the shelves, Sprout Academy is a safe place for your child to learn & play. In addition to the physical space being Eco-Healthy, instructors
2 3 3 4 4
SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY CENTER | 6820 SW 45TH 18 Southwest Community Center

are role models and lead by example to teach students the importance of nature, ecology & community to build a future sustainable life. They teach simple concepts of sustainability and how we can each do our part. To learn more, visit the Oregon Environmental Council’s website on Eco-Healthy Child Care programs at www.OEConline.org.
ENVIRONMENT
The Sprout Academy is held at Southwest Community Center in beautiful Gabriel Park. Our classroom is a warm, comfortable, cheerful space with lots of natural materials & lots of light. The space offers important safety features such as a child’s size bathroom toilet within the room and an adjacent gated courtyard. The courtyard is an alternative to ‘structured’ play; we have added loose elements from nature to foster creative, imaginative play.
For more information please contact our Preschool Program Manager, Shannon Scorgie at 503-823-2848 or by email at Shannon.Scorgie@ PortlandOregon.gov
The outdoor space also features Woolly Garden pockets for each class to tend as well as large natural planter boxes that the classes care for. Away from the center, the surrounding green-scape of Gabriel Park is the perfect setting for daily educational nature walks and seasonal outdoor lessons. We also have our very own Community Garden plot that has been a valuable resource as an outdoor classroom. Sprout’s 3’s & 4’s students visit & tend to their garden throughout the year.

LAP SWIM ETIQUETTE: “Circle Swimming” is necessary when more than two people are in a lane. Lane lines divide lap lanes. Think of the lane as a highway, always stay on the right hand side.
