There’s 1, 2, 3 new apps for Jeff City!

Have you downloaded the new Jefferson City apps yet? The

city recently announced the winners of the eJCMO mobile app

contest.

First place went to Michael Roling of Jefferson City for his app,

JCMO. The app features Jefferson City centric social media, a

food/nightlife/lodging guide as well as news and other information about the

city.

Second place went to David Owens of Medford, Mass., for his app, Tap

Walk. The app serves as a guide to Jefferson City for tourists and residents. It

features a list and map view of notable points of interest in Jefferson City, an

audio tour of Jefferson City landmarks, a calendar of events, local weather,

city social media pages and bus schedules.

Third place went to Todd Schonhardt, David Frahm and Josh Antweiler of

Jefferson City for their app, City Rewind. The app provides users with a fun

way to learn about the city’s history and landmarks through a weekly game.

All three apps are free and available on iTunes.

The JCMO app, created by local resident Michael Roling, was named

first place in the city’s mobile app contest.

LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT GIFT?

How about a Parks and Recreation

Gift Certificate? Available at our office in the City Annex, Parks and Recreation gift certificates can be purchased for as little as $5 and are good at any of our facilities or toward the registration fee for any program. THEY SPEND LIKE CASH AT ANY PARKS AND RECREATION FACILITY! If you have a golfer, skater, swimmer, ball player, camper, or even a couch potato who needs to get up and get active, what would be a better gift?

Fragrance Free Policy

The Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Commission respectfully requests and encourages all patrons attending or participating in any Parks and Recreation meeting, special event, facility or program remain as fragrance free as possible by not wearing perfume, after shave, scented lotions, fragranced hair products and/or other similar products.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Jefferson City is home to an award winning Parks and Recreation Department. As the capital city of Missouri, maintaining our local parks and recreation facilities and implementing programs to meet the ever changing needs of our community and its visitors is a challenge. The Jefferson C ity Parks and Recreation Foundation strives to provide additional resources to leverage taxes, fees and grants to enhance our parks and recreation services. Over the years, civic minded individuals and organizations have maintained a tradition of enhancing the quality of life for their families, friends, and neighbors through generous donations to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation system. In 1992, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation was formed to provide continuing leadership and foster the expansion of parks and recreation services in Jefferson City. The Foundation’s goal is to emphasize the value of parks and recreation - both passive and active - not only for individual growth and development, but also for a strong family unit and for making our community a more desirable place to live, work, play and visit. If you believe, as we do, that wholesome recreation pursuits make individuals more productive in their homes and communities and lead to a healthier and happier life, please commit your support to the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Foundation. Land, trees, fountains, benches, shelters, activity fees for youth programs are all gifts that can make a difference in people’s lives. Any and all size of gifts to our community are appreciated and contribute to the livability and quality of life of Jefferson City. For more information on how you can make a tax deductible contribution of land, money, or other gifts, please contact the Foundation’s Executive Director William Lockwood at 634-6482.

Jefferson City Parks & Recreation

Foundation As a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Commission and the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation operates programs subject to the non-discrimination requirements of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Under Title VI, the U.S. Department of the Interior strictly prohibits discrimination because of race, color, or national origin in its federally assisted programs. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any program or facility of the Jefferson City Department of Parks and Recreation, or desires further information regarding Title VI, should write immediately to: The Office for Equal Opportunity U.S. Department of Interior Office of the Secretary Washington, D.C. 20240

Equal Opportunity

In any Parks and Recreation program, a participant who is bleeding or who has blood on his/her clothing shall be prohibited from participating further in the activity until appropriate treatment has been administered. Appropriate treatment may include bandaging as necessary to prevent recurrence. This policy has been implemented to protect the participants, coaches, staff, and their families from diseases transported through the accidental contact of tainted blood. If medical care is needed, the participant must leave the activity until the problem situation has been resolved. A 70% isopropyl alcohol solution must be used to disinfect the skin and clothing. All infected areas must be thoroughly cleaned before this individual is allowed to continue participating in the activity. This may require that the player remove affected clothing and replace it in order to be able to continue participating. All participants should bring an extra shirt, pair of pants/shorts, and socks to each activity to change into in the event a blood incident should occur.

The Parks and Recreation Commission believes that no youth should be denied access to Parks and Recreation programs for financial reasons. The Parks and Recreation Foundation makes recreation sponsorships available to those who otherwise would not be able to afford to participate in organized recreation activities. Those seeking sponsorships will be asked to complete a Recreation Sponsorship Application Form available through the Department of Parks and Recreation. Sponsorships are generally limited to those receiving benefits from a form of public assistance as designated on the application form. Sponsorship funding is limited to $200 per individual per calendar year and is restricted to ongoing programs conducted by Parks and Recreation staff. Specialized programs of short duration conducted by non-staff members (e.g. baseball clinics) are ineligible for sponsorship funding. All application forms requesting funding for youth programs must be signed by the parent/guardian of the prospective participant. Participants/parents must pay a minimum of 20% of the registration fee for programs for which sponsorship assistance is requested. Questions concerning this service may be directed to Phil Stiles at 634-6482.

Jefferson City Parks and Recreation and the Jefferson City Evening Lions sponsor a non-competitive baseball league for Jefferson City area kids, ages 5-18, with physical and developmental disabilities or other conditions that keep them from participating in regular baseball leagues. Every kid bats and fields in each inning. Every child has a “baseball buddy” to help him/her. The league is designed to help every kid, regardless of age or ability, be successful and have fun! The league is currently forming and games will be played for six weeks on Fridays in May - June starting at 6:30 p.m. The registration fee is $25 which includes a six game season and a uniform.

Swimming campers are accompanied by a counselor and should be picked up by 5:00 p.m. You must register for the after camp swim that corresponds with your child’s day camp registration.

If you would like your child to take swimming lessons and attend camp, now you can. All you need to do is register for the coordinating weeks for the Youth Sports Day Camp and morning swimming lessons at Ellis-Porter/Riverside Pool (which are listed below). Depending upon the number of children enrolled in swimming lessons, a counselor(s) will escort them to the lessons, stay at the pool to chaperone them and then bring them back to camp when the lessons are over. On-line registration is not available for these lessons since it will show as a con-flict with Youth Sports Camp time frames. You will need to know your child’s skill level at the time of registration. See page 25-26 for swim lesson details. The following weeks of camp will coordinate with the following sessions of lessons:

Showdown is a totally unique theater camp designed with and for teens, and led by working Hollywood professionals. We use the

performing arts as a way for teens to wake up to who they are, discover who they can be, realize their personal power and change

into the person they choose to become. This is an intensive, three week adventure into theater for 6th

graders to 20 years old. It begins with morning classes where stu-dents study acting, directing, composing, stage movement, musical

theater, dance, stage craft and playwriting. Afternoons are devoted to rehearsals for the full production.

Cindy Marcus, Flip Kobler and Dennis Poore are from Los Ange-les and are writing a new Totally Teen show for the teens of Jeffer-

son City. The teams' other Totally Teen shows: BROTHER'S GRIMM, USHER, JECKYL AND HYDES, THE ARGONAUTS and NOTTINGHAM

have been published with Pioneer, the premiere house for young people's theater.
