Mission Purpose Background Mission It is the mission of the Parks and Recreation Department of Tega Cay and associated Committees to provide recreational opportunities and facilities for the citizen’s of Tega Cay that will foster a healthy and active lifestyle while interacting with their family, friends and neighbors in and around the community. Purpose The purpose of the Tega Cay Parks and Recreation Master Plan is to set the foundation for the future by maintaining the vision of a recreational community. The Parks and Recreation Master Plan will emphasize the following areas: Evaluation of Current Recreation Facilities Review of Recreational Needs Formulation of Future Recommendations. This Master Plan will also emphasize the use of spaces, tracts of land and services throughout the community addressing the social and recreational aspect of: 1. Park quality and quantity 2. Effectively using and improving existing park facilities 3. Providing additional recreational facilities and programs. Background The Ervin Company originally established the City of Tega Cay in 1970 as a Planned Unit Development. In 1982 it was incorporated as a municipality. The original concept for the development of Tega Cay was to provide a recreational environment closely based to recreational activities. Upon incorporation, the City inherited 17 miles of streets and park facilities. Since incorporation, the City has had a strong interest in maintaining and improving the quality of its recreational facilities. The Tega Cay Youth League was founded in 1974 and dedicated to providing programs of organized youth recreation supported such activities as spring baseball/softball, summer swim team and fall soccer programs. The League’s support not only included directing the programs, but also maintaining the ball fields and generating revenues for programs and infrastructure. In 2000, the City was asked by the volunteer Athletic Association to take over the duties of organized sports due to the increased numbers of participants. In 2001, Tega Cay hired a Parks & Recreation Director and assumed control over all aspects of recreational programs including sports registration and programming, and facilities maintenance. In order to better meet the increased needs, the City hired a full time Recreation Coordinator in 2007. Parks & Recreation Fast Facts Total Acres 2,144 Recreational Land Area 209 Miles of Trails 4.25 1 Approach The Parks and Recreation Committee attained Public input from the 2008 Tega Cay Parks & Recreation Survey, and from interviews conducted with the current mayor, city council and representative city volunteers and committee members. In addition, the previous Master plan was reviewed and input was gathered during working session with the current Parks and Recreation committee members. The survey was available on-line on the Parks & Recreation Website or through hard copies available at the city administration building. Five hundred forty one responses were collected with five hundred thirty six answering the majority of the questions for an 8% return rate. Responses were received from all sections of the city. The results are included in the appendix of this Master Plan and referenced during the current and future state sections of the document. The chart to the right “How long have you lived in Tega Cay? (years)” illustrates that over 50% of the respondents have lived in Tega Cay for less than four years. Future State Vision The primary goal of our future state is to improve upon our current vision of being “The Premier Recreational Community” in the area. Based on a recent study nearly 10% of Tega Cay’s land is devoted to recreation use. The requirements outlined in the Future State will push the recreational land use beyond 10% and will move the community toward a more environment friendly place to live, work and carry out an active healthy lifestyle. The goal is to work diligently to build the facilities to support the current recreational needs, develop plans to expand the activities or programs offered and work to connect the parks, schools, and businesses with the existing Tega Cay trail system and neighboring trail systems to ensure The Good Life. Future State Goal The goal of the future state view is to provide a framework for the city and the Parks & Recreation Committee to set targets and develop a roadmap to achieve the targets and plan. The future state of Tega Cay Parks and Recreation is broken down into five key categories or views: 1. Facilities 2. Recreational Programs 3. Events 4. Organization 5. Financials In addition to the five categories, the future state highlights comments and results from the 2008 Parks and Recreation survey and interviews that pertain to the future of five categories. 2 1. Facilities In order to set a foundation for the future, Parks & Recreation defined four types of parks to develop in the future and maintain in the present environment. a) Neighborhood Parks (Passive) This park is typically located, but not limited to, near higher density neighborhoods such as apartment complexes, townhouse developments, and housing for the elderly. The park should contain at least one to two acres per 1,000 people served. This park is typically characterized by recreational activities for each member of the family such as field games, court games, crafts, playground apparatus, picnicking, and space for quiet or passive activities. The service radius for a neighborhood park is ¼ - ½ mile and should be easily accessible to the neighborhood population via safe walking and biking access. Parking may or may not be required. In Tega Cay, the definition for such a park has been modified to exclude field activities and court games. b) Community Park (Active) The community park, similar to a neighborhood park, should be near-at-hand serving a single or several neighborhoods depending on local needs and population distribution at the time the park is being developed. The park should provide recreational opportunities for the entire family and should contain areas suited for intense recreational purposes such as athletic fields, swimming, tennis and walking/ jogging. A community park may also include areas of natural quality for outdoor recreation such as viewing, sitting, and picnicking. A body of water is a component typically located in a community park; however, it is not required. These parks have an average service radius of 1-2 miles and require approximately 5.0 acres per 1,000 population served. c) City Park (Active) The city park is described as a multi-use facility serving the entire city and supporting surrounding neighborhoods. The city park will house the parks and recreation staff, multiple diamond and multi-purpose fields, concession stands, walking trails, bike trails, nature trails, tennis courts, canoeing (river), picnic areas and ample parking just to name a few amenities. The City park has an average service radius of 5-10 miles and require in excess of 10 acres per 1,000 populations served. (Note: Referred to as Catawba Park in the cities 2009 Vision and Comprehensive Plan documents.) d) Unique/ Special Areas These types of areas include beaches, parkways, greenways, historical sites, flood plains, tree lawns, etc. No standard is applicable because such areas exist to take advantage of special man-made or natural features. Within Tega Cay, we have countless areas of green-space. In the near future, plans for a water sports activities, bike trails and additional walking trails would fit into this category. 3 The diagram below outlines facility upgrades and additions required to keep up with the growing population and needs of the community. Facilities Updates needed Indoor pool, additional paved parking, sand for the beach area and an Beach & Swim Center expanded fitness center. Central Bark (Dog Water Fountain, possibly larger facility, grass areas, obstacles for the Park) pets, picnic area Diamond Head Park More defined picnic area, charcoal grills, updated play equipment Heron Harbor Park Updated play equipment Koala Park Installation of walking trail around perimeter of park Linerieux Turner Installation of nature/education center (open air in center of facility), trail Nature Trail markers Update playground area, more defined picnic area, landscaping and Lookout Park increased shade around play areas Palmyra Park Picnic area Pitcairn Park Replace/update restroom/picnic pavilion Remove picnic pavilion and relocate basketball courts to that area, repave parking lot and increase to include area where basketball courts are Runde Park currently located, renovate concession stand and restroom area, up fit the large field spectator area and possibly adjust the field layout. (based on future field plans) Install picnic area & playground below concession stand, connect Turner Field walking trail to trail system and possibly adjust the field layout. (based on future field plans) Trail Head Park Install restrooms and drinking fountain Walking Trails Install mileage markers, resurface and extend trails into legacy Tega Cay. Improve beach areas, replace/update restroom/picnic pavilion and Windjammer Park improve parking Installation of shade trees, installation of irrigation and sod areas outside Windsong Park of play areas Wuertle Tennis Relocate parking and entrance to courts to the adjacent lot off of Molokai Courts Dr., install spectator area Additional Recreational Summary Facilities Proposed Marina that would be City owned and operated adjacent to the Hidden Harbor Beach & Swim Center (Marina is in permitting phase as of the adoption of Marina this Master Plan). Tega Cay Golf Club Locate croquet and bacci courts on the property. The list of updates is not all inclusive, but is representative based on survey feedback and interviews. 4 In addition to updating the existing facilities the survey revealed several facilities requested by the respondents and the individuals interviewed. The chart to the right depicts the percent of respondents that would utilize the new facility if available. The table below give a summary of the facility and a list of requests documented in the comments section of the survey.

    Portuguese writers [ FICTION] Ana Teresa Pereira Ana Teresa Pereira was born in Funchal (Madeira island) in 1958. She went to Lisbon to study Philosophy but she didn't finish the course and returned to Funchal to dedicate herself exclusively to writing. She started in 1989 with a thriller and since then she has been publishing novels with impressive regularity. Her work is somehow atypical of the mainstream Portuguese literature, much of her inspiration coming from the Anglo-Saxon tradition. Her books are very cinematographic and are constantly appealing to her references in terms of paintings, films and literature - Iris Murdoch being one of her favourite writers ever. © JOÃO MIGUEL RODRIGUES Ô SYNOPSIS Byrne is a fifty-two year old Irishman. He returns to London to write a book about Iris Murdoch. His friend Ed finds him lodg- ings with Ashley, who is usually away. Byrne will fall in love with Ashley without ever meeting her - all he knows of her is what is left in the house - a picture on the wall, a book - everything is a pretext to imagine and invent the other.

  • The Unknown Hearst and Marion 1941
    10 The Unknown Hearst and Marion 1941 THIS CHAPTER’S TITLE takes its cue from a keepsake book compiled for “Moguls, Millionaires & Movie Stars: Hollywood between the Wars, 1920–1940,” a conference held at The Huntington Library in San Marino on May 30–31, 2008. The keepsake was called The Unknown Hearst 1941. In view of the couple that William Randolph Hearst and Marion Davies had obviously been throughout the 1930s, the title of Chapter 10 is closer to what the keepsake book should rightly have been called, a title that would have included Marion. As for the year 1941, its recounting has typically been dominated by Citizen Kane. David Nasaw devoted a chapter to Orson Welles and the film in his biography of Hearst, The Chief. Otherwise, Nasaw and his predecessor W. A. Swanberg seemed to be on deadline rush when they reached 1941. Their manuscripts were thick already, thanks to both authors having wrangled intensively with Hearst’s finances in the late 1930s. Swanberg and Nasaw had dealt with dozens of other contentious issues in portraying Hearst’s life; but with the American side of World War II close ahead and the finish line visible beyond, both authors practically sprinted to the end, leaving 1941 with little more than a glossing over. Several matters of historical importance need to be addressed through this period of unknown-ness, beyond getting Citizen Kane in sufficient perspective. Hearst’s response to the film will surely be aired. More important, though, are these three things: First, the absence of Hearst and Marion from San Simeon from late April 1941 right through the end of the year must be emphasized.

From a homosexual couple raising an adopted child (Modern Family, ABC, 2009-) to recovering alcoholic single mothers (Mom, CBS, 2013-) to a divorced father negotiating his gender transition with his adult children (Transparent, Amazon, 2014-), these representations are in the process of interrogating what it means to be (and who is allowed to be) a parent.
