DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE I took the opportunity in the last issue to say a few words about the City’s new Recreation and Facilities Manager Julie Jackson. At the time of the issue she had not yet arrived at the City from her home in Juneau Alaska and I’m now pleased to say that Julie is here and ready to serve our City’s recreation needs. Julie comes to Richland with a strong education and professional background in recreation and outdoor programming and she’s been putting her skills into practice at the City in her new management role. Behind the scenes, for example, the City has placed additional emphasis on public safety and risk management for park activities and programming. Our use agreements and special events take these elements into account now more than ever in our effort to provide safe and secure facilities and activities for you to enjoy. Julie’s door is open, as is mine, and she welcomes your thoughts and feedback. Her office is located in the City’s Community Center at 500 Amon Park Drive and she can be reached by phone at 509-942-7501, or email at jjackson@ci.richland.wa.us.

This winter and next spring the City will engage a consultant to update our six year Parks, Trails, Open Space and Facilities Master Plan. The document is an excellent inventory and planning tool. The plan is additionally a requirement of the State of Washington to remain eligible for several important grant funding sources that the City has successfully used in many of our parks. The effort will include a significant public outreach and comment period and, if interested, please watch for our announcements and instructions on how to be part of this important project.

Have a great fall and winter season and please take advantage of the many wonderful activities and programs provided by the City and our partners.

Joe Schiessl Director of Parks & Public Facilities

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 hands-on 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!

Sports Concussion and Head Injuries (Zachery Lystedt Law) A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. 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. Concussions 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.

Concussions can’t be seen, 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 signs of concussion yourself, seek medical attention right away. A youth athlete who is suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game will be removed from competition at that time. For current information on concussions, please visit www.cdc.gov/concussion.
