Steve Mcdaniel - Director We Received Proposals from Several Teams Regarding the Design Phase of Franke Park’S Phase 1 Plan Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department - Staff Report - March 10, 2021 through to April 13, 2021 Steve McDaniel - Director We received proposals from several teams regarding the design phase of Franke Park’s Phase 1 Plan. We are forming an evaluation team to go through all of the proposals. It is our hope to have a recommendation for approval at the May Park Board meeting. The Board of Health and Parkview Hospital have reached out to us about the possibility of housing a vaccine site at McMillen Park’s Community Center for three days. They are trying to make it easier for access to residents in Southeast Fort Wayne. April 13-15 the four basketball courts on the east side of the building will be just for the vaccine. They are projecting to dispense about 200 of the Moderna vaccines each day. The staff of the Botanical Conservatory celebrated this year’s volunteers with a virtual program. Many of volunteers joined via Zoom to celebrate the many hours that were giving to the facility in 2020. It is our hope that next years event will be back in person. I am working with a committee of other city departments on a regional trail called the Poka-Bache Trail. This trail system will connect Pokagon State Park in Steuben County with Ouabache State Park in Bluffton. This is part of the DNR’s State Visionary Trail system. We will be hosting a regional meeting later this month with key stakeholders in hopes of starting a coalition to be able to complete this trail system. I am participating in two virtual IPRA events in April. The first is geared towards college age students to show them all of the possibilities of a career in Parks and Recreation. The second is a joint Northern and Southern District meeting discussing all types of topics. We have filed our permits with Excise for the three golf courses. This should take a little bit of time before we hear back from them. In the meantime, we will continue to finalize our internal procedures. The Mayor has extended the wearing of mask and social distancing for the next few months in all of our facilities. This will also impact our programs and events. The staff are putting their final touches on planning for several of our summer programs. New requirement and best practices because of COVID have changed our typical programs. They have done a tremendous job of being flexible and creative in their methods. On March 31st, we held a press conference/ribbon cutting ceremony at the Community Center dedicating our AARP Fitness Park. This project was a donated by AARP as part of their 60th anniversary. Over the last few weeks, we have been able to coordinate being on the morning news for several different topics. It started with promoting that we have seasonal positions to fill within the department. The second was for the programming at the Botanical Conservatory of bunny tails and other Easter related activities. The last was promoting our golfing at our courses as well as seasonal position within golf. We are working with Fort Wayne Community Schools on two projects at Bob Arnold Northside Park. The first is renovations to the tennis courts next to Parnell Ave. The second project is improvements to the softball diamond in the northeast corner of the park off of Charlotte Ave. Both of these projects are slated for improvements later this year. 1 Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department - Staff Report - March 10, 2021 through to April 13, 2021 Chuck Reddinger – Deputy Director, Riverfront, Golf, Outdoor Recreation, Athletics, Special Events, Headwaters Park, Community Center (Downtown), Travel Service General Worked with Glorious Gates Rowing (G2) for an agreement for the installation of a dock at Shoaff Park. Staff are reviewing latest COVID guidelines from the Governor Holcomb, Allen County Department of Health and City of Fort Wayne to review potential impacts on programs, rentals and events. Staff or working on hiring staff for seasonal positions. The most need in in aquatics, and the pre- school youth program. Travel Bus Trips will resume in June with the requirement that passengers must provide proof of vaccination to allow passengers to safely sit within 6ft of each other. Community Center/PS Youth/ Athletics Cornhole League started this month with 12 people. Staff worked on new rental brochure for meetings and conferences. Virtual classes (exercise & yoga) averaging about 35 participants per week on zoom Positively Fort Wayne with Terra Brantly of WANE TV highlighted the Community Center twice this month. March 15 episode highlighted Spring Programming and the March 29 episode looked at the Alley Kats tap program. FitLot Ribbon Cutting was Wednesday March 31st at 10am Golf We got the golf courses open and staggered the openings in the following order: McMillen, Shoaff and Foster. We mainly chose McMillen and Shoaff first due to high school and middle school teams playing at those two courses. The play has been mixed due to normal spring weather. A couple of days it’s really nice and then it’s cold and rainy. Overall the patrons have been really glad that the courses are open and that they can be playing! We obtained a PO to purchase 24 new Club Car golf carts. This is another step in the process of updating and standardizing our fleet at all three courses. Not only does it help make the carts interchangeable, it is huge for customer service and the overall experience. The department received many compliments on the new additions at Foster in 2020. Staffing is a work in progress. We are getting an adequate amount of applications but the issue is that that majority are still either teaching or in school. So, their hours of availability are limited until they are out. Once summer arrives the courses will be fully staffed. The problem will come back again in August when they go back. This has always been an issue and will continue to be. We will continue to recruit throughout the summer to hopefully lessen the staffing gaps in the fall. Aquatics We were able to get two lifeguard instructors trained for the upcoming season. This is huge because it allows us to do our own in-house training and not rely on outside agencies to provide 2 Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department - Staff Report - March 10, 2021 through to April 13, 2021 it. It also allows us to continue weekly specialized safety training. Our number one goal is always to keep the patrons safe. Due to the pools being closed in the summer of 2020 all of our existing lifeguards are considered “new”. This means that they will have to go through the full three- day course as opposed to the one-and-a-half-day refresher. This training will be more time consuming but an additional layer of safety. Outdoor Recreation Salomon Farm Park rental open houses were held March 14 and 18 for current and potential renters to have an opportunity to check out rental facilities, talk to rental staff, and sign agreements (12 people attended on March 14th and 1 person on the 18th). Johnny Appleseed Campground Opens 15 April. As of 17 March, there are 15 RV sites booked for opening weekend. Several zoom and virtual programs were held in March including “All About Rain Gardens” Master Gardener Series with Martha Ferguson (Free program-16 registered), “Pollinator Gardens” Master Gardener Series with Pam Snyder (Free program-20 registered), and “Beauty of Square Foot Gardening” with Rick Kemery (20 registered) Electricity is being added to chicken and duck coops at Salomon. Work to begin last week of March at Johnny Appleseed Campground. The project is moving 3 electric pedestals and boring fiber optic to improve Wi-Fi access. Margo Nussbaum (Farm Supervisor) is refurbishing pasture animal shelters; removing tin siding and replacing with free wood milled at SFP (from park trees) during Fall Harvest Fest. More comfortable for animals, provides better shelter from elements and animals can get out of sight of visitors. Using the untreated wood provided rustic aesthetic to match 1930s theme. Roy Fike, tractor club member, also donated more than $1000 worth of lumber for the project. Riverfront Our rentals have continued to increase significantly, both in number and scope. We have added a second rental coordinator and have continued to refine our booking processes, marketing, and cross-training with staff to ensure consistent customer service for all renters in Promenade Park. Caps for a Cause was held in March with 23 in attendance. This was our first step back into regular public programming for 2021. We had a great event with solid turnout and participation. This is part of our ongoing collaboration with the Vance family. This particular program asks the public to donate recycled plastic bottle caps and together we turn them into murals which we will auction off later this year. We have VERY exciting news coming out soon about future items related to this programming. We received coverage from WPTA, Wane TV, and the Journal Gazette on Sunday for this event. We are also working hard on ramping up our summer programming which includes an expanded River, Set, Go which incorporates the FW Dragon Boat Races, a concert series, a free children’s science education series, more sensory friendly programming, and more recreation programming. Additionally, we have been working hard to increase collaborative programming with other organizations, including the Allen County Public Library, YLNI, Chinese Friends and 3 Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department - Staff Report - March 10, 2021 through to April 13, 2021 Family, various chess clubs, and much more.

  • Guidelines for NACS School Delays and Closings Due to Inclement Weather
    Guidelines for NACS School Delays and Closings Due to Inclement Weather Beliefs • Weather conditions are both variable and potentially extreme in northeast Indiana; the safety of children will guide decisions regarding delaying or closing. • Concrete rules do not exist in making decisions regarding variable and extreme weather; however, these guidelines will serve as a reference for Northwest Allen County Schools (NACS). • NACS believes our community expects schools to be open each day providing educational services, supervision, and other services, such as access to breakfast and lunch, to each of our students. • NACS believes all parents are committed to keeping children safe, and we believe all parents will dress their children appropriately for the existing weather conditions when sending their children to school. • NACS believes decisions about whether school will be closed for the entire day, delayed, or closed early is based on whether our buses can safely transport students on NACS roads. NACS believes decisions regarding whether it is safe enough for teenagers to drive is a family decision between each parent and her/his teenager. • NACS recognizes that it is first and foremost a parental decision as to whether a child should attend school on inclement weather days. • NACS respects the parent’s determination regarding her/his child’s attendance at school during inclement weather. If school is open, or delayed, because of inclement weather, the school will respect the parent’s decision to keep her/his child at home. Parents are expected to contact the school and inform school officials of their determination, and the student will be counted as absent, as required by Indiana code.

  • RADIO's DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING in the 21St
    RADIO’S DIGITAL DILEMMA: BROADCASTING IN THE 21st CENTURY BY JOHN NATHAN ANDERSON DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2011 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John C. Nerone, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Michelle Renee Nelson Associate Professor Christian Edward Sandvig Professor Daniel Toby Schiller ii ABSTRACT The interaction of policy and technological development in the era of “convergence” is messy and fraught with contradictions. The best expression of this condition is found in the story behind the development and proliferation of digital audio broadcasting (DAB). Radio is the last of the traditional mass media to navigate the convergence phenomenon; convergence itself has an inherently disruptive effect on traditional media forms. However, in the case of radio, this disruption is mostly self-induced through the cultivation of communications policies which thwart innovation. A dramaturgical analysis of digital radio’s technological and policy development reveals that the industry’s preferred mode of navigating the convergence phenomenon is not designed to provide the medium with a realistically useful path into a 21st century convergent media environment. Instead, the diffusion of “HD Radio” is a blocking mechanism proffered to impede new competition in the terrestrial radio space. HD Radio has several critical shortfalls: it causes interference and degradation to existing analog radio signals; does not have the capability to actually advance the utility of radio beyond extant quality/performance metrics; and is a wholly proprietary technology from transmission to reception.

  • INCLEMENT-WEATHER.Pdf
    INCLEMENT-WEATHER PROCEDURES NORTHWEST STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE Winter weather will soon be upon Northwest Ohio and inclement weather procedures often come to the surface. The college’s decision is based on the condition of our parking lot and the area businesses and industries closing. If you believe the conditions are such that you should not be traveling, you are responsible to make the decision for yourself. The college does not provide transportation to our students and thus does not follow the same factors to determine if we have school as the K – 12 school systems. If the college is in session during that time and you are uncomfortable driving, you are responsible to make up the missed material as per the arrangement with your instructors. The college will initiate the QuickAlert system which will call/text you automatically when there is a delay or closing. In addition, the college will announce delays or closings over radio/television stations. It is important to read and listen to the delays or closing announcements carefully. The college offers classes at many locations and only the location in the announcement will be closed (except for our synchronous sites which will close when the main campus closes). Also, the college may close only for the morning, the afternoon or the evening classes. Morning closings will be announced by 6:00 a.m. (classes starting between 7:30 and 11:45 a.m.), afternoon closing will be announced by 10:00 a.m. (for classes starting between 12:00 noon and 5:30 p.m.) and evening will be closed by 4:00 p.m.

  • Steve Mcdaniel ~ Director
    Fort Wayne Parks & Recreation Department Staff Reports reporting December 13, 2018 thru to February 12, 2019 Steve McDaniel ~ Director The design team members for the next phases of Riverfront Development were in town in January for a public engagement meeting at the Grand Wayne. We had great attendance for this event by the public. The consultant for the Franke Park Master Plan had two concepts that they showed at a public meeting on February 7th. That gave the public an opportunity to see the plans and make comments before the final draft plan will be put together. NIPSCO demobilized their work at the Old Fort and in the river. They will be restoring the site in the spring. We have been approached by the landowners of a parcel adjacent and north of Kreager Park. We received two appraisals which the average came in at a little over $2,400. We are putting together a purchase agreement contingent on Board and City Council approval. We received the second disbursement from Regional Cities for RDA funds for Promenade Park in the beginning of January. We are working with a vendor on lease documents, buildout plans, and costs for the restauranteur for Promenade Park. Legal will be reviewing the lease as we look at the construction plans for the buildout of the space. We received qualifications from several companies as we look at a different ticketing system for the Foellinger Theater. We have started the internal review process to determine which system would be best for our use and the customer. We are starting the process to update our Community Needs Assessment.
