1. The Bakersfield B.E.S.T. After School Playground Program is going strong. We
will finally be adding Jefferson School on January 5"~. We are still adding staff as
they get their fingerprint clearance but we are cloSer to capacity now. I held three
new staff orientations for those staff that came on board. Greenfield School District
decided to cancel the After School Program at their school sites the week of Nov. 2
6, 1998 due to Parent Teacher Conferences. They did not want children on their
school campus during these conferences so in its place, they elected to let the staff
have in-service training. I conducted this week long, two hour a day, in-service
training on child development, age appropriate activities, discipline, arts and craft
activities, games, and activity schedules. This training was very beneficial to the
staff. We continue to hold weekly staff meetings and will be holding a CPR and First-
Aid class for those staff that need it on Dec. 5"'. The football league is going strong
and all the Greenfield Schools have a team. I arranged with Mr. Jim Goodgame to
use the Greenfield Junior High facility for the sports program. They had to install a
by-pass to their alarm system where we can open up restrooms for our games. All
games are played on Saturday and it has been fantastic. The kids love it and there
have been a lot of parents out watching their children. We even have schools with
cheerleaders. It has been very successful and the league will end on Dec.
Basketball season will start in January. At each of my school sites in Greenfield and
Sequoia I have the number of staff budgeted. We have been filling in Program

yet. The following are the attendance and highlights for November:

Highlights of this program include arts and crafts such as making turkeys,

these classes and programs heavily in December and January. Sequoia was

Highlights of this program include the football team--they are 2 and 0, guessing

MONTHLY REPORT
November 1998
'Holly Larson, Recreation Specialist
· November 15 - 18, I attended the National Executive Development School in '
New Mexico. This was a very rewarding experience. I received excellent
training in Supervisory Skills, Training Staff, Working with the Media and much
more. I also had the opportunity to network with other professionals from all over
the United States. We had a chance to share ideas and experiences from our
individual departments which have been very motivational.
· Planning continues for the Luminaria Display, A Festival of Lights. The
committee has been meeting regularly and most of the work is complete. The
event will take place on December 12, 1998 from 7:30 - 9:00 pm at Centennial
Plaza. Approximately 3000 bags decorated by local school children will be
illuminated while local choirs provide Some holiday cheer.
· The Bakersfield's BEST program is moving right along. Our last site, Jefferson,
will be open in January. We are still hiring a few more staff, but are very close to
capacity. Staff meet at least bi-weekly once they complete in-service training
and also attend occasional pick-up training sessions on Saturdays. This
weekend CPR/lst aid training will be offered. The football league is in full swing.
Basketball is our next league which will start in January.
· I have made arrangements for three new leisure classes to begin in January.
Classes will be offered East Coast Swing Dancing, West Coast Swing Dancing,
and Yoga.

TEAM FUN°
Team Fun is pleased to present to you our programs for winter/spring lggg. As
indicated on the cover, these pages contain "fun" for you to experience. As
always, if you don't find something that fits your leisure needs, please let us know
what you would like us to offer.
Since we became the city's newest department earlier this year, we have been part
of some very exciting times for the city of Bakersfield. In October, Centennial
Plaza was "turned over" to the city and we now manage it. Last month, with the
assistance of Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, we dedicated Stonecreek Park as
the city's newest park. Next month we anticipate the completion of Windsor Park.
Also this year, three recreation specialists joined our team (-I-erri Elison, Holly
Larson, and Jeannette Triscuit) and they will be responsible for planning a variety of
programs that meet your needs as well as implementing activities that were
identified in the survey that was completed this year.
As we continue to do great things,
please remember that we are just
getting started. We would like to
keep hearing from you as to how we
are doing as well as your new ideas.
If you would like to join us as an
instructor, coach, or official, please
contact us.
On behalf of the entire team,
"may the fun be with you,"

Open House and Park Dedications
On October 1.8, recreation and parks staff, along with Councilmember Pat DeMond,
hosted an open house at Jefferson Park. This activity was designed so the citizens in
the neighborhood could come out and meet city staff and their Councilmember. We
had a great time!
On October 24,!Councilmember Jacquie Sullivan, along With Department staff,
dedicated Stonecreek Park. Located on Akers Road and White Gate, this wonderful
neighborhood park has been featured in previous brochures. 'The dedication provided
the local residents and their children an open forum for questions and answers
regarding park development, and the children had a great time making buttons with
the staff. '
