Summer is upon us and the temperatures will really begin to warm up. Within our summer activity guide, you will find several pages of cool opportunities to combat the heat. The newly renovated Palm Island Family Aquatics Center offers open swimming, special splash events, swimming lessons, a swim team, aerobics and Zumba classes. If you would like to use the facility for a private party or corporate event - those rental opportunities are available as well.
Enjoy your summer evenings playing in a few outdoor sports leagues such as softball and pickle ball or indoor activities such as basketball and volleyball. The Len Colla Recreation Center and the Dorothy Powell Senior Adult Center both provide daily exercise, arts and educational programming in a very friendly and comfortable setting.
Not to be outdone - both the Main and Vista Public Libraries offer a tremendous assortment of youth, teen and adult programming. The Summer Reading Program kicks off on Saturday, May 30th at the Main Library, please circle that date and stop by and enjoy the festivities. Both libraries will also be hosting free technology classes throughout the summer for those 18 years of age and older. Learning is a very cool thing!
You will also notice several enhancements being made this summer at both Carr McNatt Park and the Dave White Municipal
Golf Course. It is our goal to continue to make improvements to the playing conditions at these facilities. The course will remain open throughout the summer improvements and we offer discounted programs to both adults and youth. Another cool opportunity not to be missed.
That being said - “Let’s Play”
William Schwind, Community Services Director

Firstly, we set up our station by clearing everything not related to the experiment and brought in extra tools, such as a smartphone to record the time of each task performed, a pen and a calculator. Before starting the experiment, we went through the given instruction on how to fold a place card within eight steps. As we get familiar with the process, we assigned our self with individual task on who would perform actual folding and who would be keeping track of the time taken of perform every finished place card. According to the text book, this is simply a delay relating to setting up the station and familiarizing the process. Then we began working on our first place card. The first place card took us 2 minutes and 43 seconds to complete, which was also the longest processing time out of four.

1.08 Varying Activity Preferences

...All around the world, people are playing different sports, and participating in all different physical activities. However, does someone’s cultural background affect what sports they enjoy? I interviewed three people of different cultural ethnicities and age groups with questions about why they enjoy the physical activities that they do. Based on my research, I have discovered that a person’s cultural ethnicity does impact which physical activities individuals may enjoy doing. First, I interviewed Shannon, a 14-year-old girl of American/Caucasian ethnicity. She is very athletic and exercises every single day. Shannon enjoys swimming, running, and biking. When asked about why she enjoys these activities, she said “I love any sports that are fast paced, sports that keep me attentive and awake. Any activity that gets me out of breath and tired, but feeling satisfied at the end of the day is what I like the most.” Living in an American family, Shannon believes that her love for sports is influenced by the fact that many members of her family also enjoy physical activity. She says “I’m constantly surrounded by family members and classmates participating in sports, and I want to be a part of it too.” Next, I interviewed Minh, a 48-year old man of Asian ethnicity. He has a job in software engineering, along with a family. Minh enjoys the sport of badminton, which he plays about once a week. He says “As a child in Vietnam, I was always so interested in the badminton games of the other...

10 Roles and Activities Executives Perform

...10 Roles and Activities Executives Perform The topic that I chose to write on is the topic of the 10 roles and activities that most executives will have as they lead their companies. The 10 activities and roles that I will discuss fall into the categories. The Informational roles will include the executive being a leader, a liaison, and a figure head. The informational roles include the executive being a monitor, a disseminator, and a spokes person. The decisional roles will include the executive being an entrepreneur, a disturbance handler, a resource allocator and a negotiator. In this paper, I will explain these 10 roles and activities along with examples; I will explore the question as to do the current worlds executives still play a part in these roles and activities, and what factors might influence the executive as to whether or not they engage in these roles or activities. The first role of an executive is being a leader. This is still used and the top priority in my opinion. The company could not be a company without a leader. The executive has to be someone who is willing to motivate his managers and employees. He has to be the person who ot only leads his company, but a person who creates leaders within the company. The next role of an executive is a liaison to the public and to other companies as well. A well established company will need connections to work interdependently with the community and to have a good rapport with other businesses and the community...
