Cleo A. Afar lais - D�metor May: 20, 1975 Mr Edgar Czarnecki, Mayor -City of Iowa City Civic Center410 East Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Czarnecki: For the past several months, the youth programs of Johnson County have been the subject of study by -a graduate student in; public af- fairs administration at the University--'of-Iowa. Mr. Lee Hood Capps has studied the history of the Youth Services Coordinator, United Action for Youth, 'Mayor's Youth Employment Program, Youth Emergency Shelter,_' and Uncles Program and has interviewed the directors of each program in an_effort :to assess the operation of the Johnson County Youth Programs Package.. Mr. Capps' central concern has -_been the evaluation system --or lack thereof --used to measure the effectiveness of the programs and their impact on the young People of Johnson County. The end; product of his efforts is an assessment of our evaluation process submitted to Dr. Charles D. Carey, Department of Political Science, University of Iowa. - Lee Hood Capps recently expressed an interest in continuing to work with the: youth programs by assisting mein developing a unified system of measurable youth service goals, monitoring procedures,_ and, evaluation tools. I believe that Lee's training in -evaluation techniques as well as his familiarity with the youth programs and their staffs make his involvement in;specific-evaluative tasks'- most desireable. - It is my feeling --and a judgment borne out by Lee's evaluation -- that reports on the youth services have thus far contained.little valid statistical data by which we might measure the effectiveness of the programs. In addition, I`feel strongly that`a strong data base -is-essential, -if we are to continue to build an expanded sys- tem of comprehensive_ youth services. Both -the needs of'young _peo- ple and the effectiveness of existing programs in meeting those needs must be stated in specific and measurable terms; the objec- tives of ouryouthprograms must be formulated accordingly. - Mr. Edgar Czarnecki Mayor of Iowa City May 20, '1975 Page'2 :The job description for the Youth Services Coordinator specifies that 20 percent of my time should be devoted to evaluation;ofnoni - the'programs This is certainly-sufficient_time for ongoing toring and feedback, but it is not adequate for the effort that is needed 'to set up the basic mechanism of evaluation., It would seem that inadequate allocation of time to date has been one reason for the lack of externally valid evaluation. Outside technical assistance is necessary. I,, therefore, -discussed with Lee the possibility of working as'a summer intern to perform specific evaluation= =tasks -for the youth programs. (see attachment) Monitoring of his efforts would be coordinated between myself and Lee's advisor, Dr. Charles Carey, and Lee would 'receive credit for the job as a graduate practicum in public programming. ring of a spec Becausethe hi assistant for evaluation "was not included in our Fiscal Year 1975 _request to the City of Iowa City, Lee's hiring would require a supplemental grant from the city. Lee -and I have _agreed upon a'salary of 54.50 per `hour for 30 hours. week He wouldwork for -a total of nine weeks: from May 27 to June 30 and from August 1 to August 30. The first five weeks would be spent in developing"program -goals and monitoring-procedures,`the final four weeks in evaluatingthe effectiveness of the procedures following one month of opera tion`and making ramfinal report on needed stlof chances in the evaluation of the youth ,prog the project would be $1,465 = $1,215 salary + $250 operating expen- ses -(duplication, mailing; travel, etc.) I have discussed the desireability of -such an expenditure with;_ Dick Wollmershauser, Dennis Kraft, and Neal Berlin. Although we considered utilizing City staffforthese evaluating tasks, it was evident that the staff lacked the timenecessary for the pro- ject. They -lack also the familiarity -with the programs and with specific evaluation tools - that Lee possesses`: In'terms ;of costs, additionalrecommended is actually smallcompared with that uthe e�add recommended for evaluation; grants`often include a 5-15% allocation beyond that `requested in order that the value of the program staff and/or an 'outside consultant. grant can be measured by Dick, Dennis, and Neal concur, I believe, in;_those judgments. I feel justified, therefore, in making this special request o-- $1,465 for technical assistance in developing an evaluation. ism for for the Iowa City -Johnson County Youth Services. Given the size of the city's contribution to the youth programs --$75,000-- the allocation of some of Iowa City's planning money under the Jtme 10, 1975 Page 2 _ -Park and Recreation Commission May 14, 1975 • --SUMMARY=OF;DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: The Iowa City Park and Recreation Commission --met in Regular Session on Wednesday; -May -14, 1975, with Chairperson Fox presiding. * Davis moved and Sangster seconded that the minutes of the May 30, 1975, meeting be approved as written.Unanimous. Bob Lee made a correction in the April 9, 1975, minutes: Page 3--paragraph'six--the second sentence should read, "He also - noted that there were four new pieces of equipment --a ladder `and balance.beam designed by David Byrd and built by_the_Park crew,,a horizontal bar -purchased by the Optimist Club, and a mat purchased by_the lawa,City Coralbelles and the Old Capitol Chorus." There was a'concensus that Commission would, in the future,'like -to meet in rooms that -are _accessible -to--the handicapped. -Lee .was. requested to ' look into the possibility of using rooms at the Recreation Center for Park and Recreation Commission` meetings. - - -John Harper discussed the City Spirit Grant Propcsal, stating that this grant comes from the National Endowment for the Arts. The proposal will • be submitted by the City, acting as sponsor. Harper commented that no - City money is involved, therefore, no competition with Commission for funds. Harper's second item of discussion was the Iowa City Arts -Council, an independentcommunityorganization which is not sponsored by the City. The organization will raise its own money and will not be in competition with Commission for funds and won't come to Commission for funding. Thirdly, Harper discussed the Iowa Community;Betterment Program. He com-_- -- mented that Council had endorsed the Iowa City Arts Coin cil.to•proceed with an application to the Iowa Development Committee for recognition in the above program. Discussion then turned to the Special Populations Involvement (SPI) Program and the_proposal by Dr. Charles Dougherty* "Community Based Therapeutic Recreation Services for the Handicapped, A Proposed Special Service Program for the Iowa City and Johnson County :Area",dated April 28, 1975.-- Dr. Dougherty's proposal is based upon the -1974-75 SPI Program. - Stockman commented that an application could be -made -to fund a program such as the one proposed by Dougherty through Title XX of the Social Security Act. :.She _pointed.out that, in order to get Title 'XX funds, There would have to be documentation of the __300_participants :.mentioned in Doughezty's proposal. - She will proceed with that documentation. Stockmen _also that EY,F • did not foresee problems regarding that source of funding. Page 4 --_ Park and Recreation Commission May 14, 1975 • Dr. Nesbitt pointed out that in San Jose, California, a program similar to Dr. Dough_rty's;proposal was established.`-- He commented -that it -took three years to establish contacts with the 17 agencies involved -and draw up a directory of existing programs. The actual establishment of the program took an additional 2 1/2 to 3 years. He urged Commission not to become discouraged. There was a concensus among Commission that the City should not wait the preliminary time period for contacting agencies as -had been done in San Jose. It was felt that it was important that programming for special popu- lations should`be established, even if in a somewhat limited form, as soon as possible in order that there would be as little time lag as possible between the SPI Program and a community based service. Fox outlined five potential sources of funds for a program such as Dougherty's. proposal and requested that funding possibilities:.for a, community based - recreation service along the lines of Dr. Dougherty's proposal -be pursued by the City Manager. Five possible sources - are: 1. HCDA_Planning Segment monies (could possibly be`used to fund a Therapeutic"Recreation Specialist).' 2. _ Title.XX_(City would have to provide a match of $4,800). 3. Board and Commission $10,000. - 4.' Oak Grove Park playground' funds. 5. FY 76 $80,000. Fox was directed -by -Commission to write a statement of -need to Council -incorporating-Gene ;Chubb'a,funding:sources regarding community based recreationservices for special; populations (attached). There was a con - census that the use of Title XX funds should be pursued with_the-local match to come out of local funds such as the Board -and Commission $10,000. Fox will also recommend that an Advisory, Committee similar to the one outlined in Dougherty's proposal be set up immediately in order to get input on if, and where programming along" -the lines of Dougherty's proposal would overlap that of other agencies. This committee would also help determine the needs - of special :populations '.withinthe community.' An approximate size of ten ; was, agreed upon. *-It was then moved by Hebert and seconded by{Kelley that the Park and Rec-` reation tommission recommend that the City council start proceedings immediately to hire a full-time Therapeutic Recreation Specialist to in- itiate_a community based therapeutic recreation service (program) for ':special, populations' patterned along the lines of the Proposal by Dr. Charles Dougherty of April 28, 1975.

Unanimous. Bob Lee nade a correction In the April 9, 1975, minutes: Page 3--paragraph six--the second sentence should read, "Fie also noted that there were four new pieces of equipment—a ladder and balance beam designed by David Byrd and built by the Park crew, a horizontal bar purchased by ;the Optimist Club, and a mat purchased by the Iowa City Coralbelles and the Old Capitol Chorus:" There was a consensus that Commissionwould,' in the future, like to meet in rooms that are accessible to the handicapped. Lee was requested to look into the possibility of using rooms at the Recreation Center for Park and Recreation Coraission meetings. ` John Harper discussed the CLty Spirit Grant Proposal, stating that this grant comes from theNationalEndowment for the Arts: The proposal will i be submitted by the City, acting as sponsor._ Harper commented that no -_ City money is involved, therefore, no competition' with Cormission:for funds. Harper's second item of discussion was the Iowa City `Arts Council, an independent community organization which is not sponsored by the City. The orga:ization will raise its own money and will not be in competition with Commission for funds and won't came to Comission for funding. Thirdly, Harper discussed the Iowa Community Betterment Program. -iie com-> mented that Council-had--endorsed the Iowa City Arts, Council to proc.erd with an application to`the 'Iowa Development Committee for recognition '-.- the above_ programa Discussion then turned to the Special Populations Involvement (SPI) Program and the proposal by Dr. Charles Dougherty, "Community Based Therapeutic Recreation Services for the Handicapped, A Proposed Special Service Program for the Iowa City and Johnson County Area", dated April 28, 1975. Dr. Dougherty's proposal is based upon the 1974-75 SPI Program. Stoc::man commented that an application could be made to fund a program such, as the:. one prop aged `by Dougherty through Title XX of the Social Security Act. - She pointed out that, In order to get Title XX funds, There would have tobedocumentai'Loa of tin, 300:pnrt1.r,ipnntn'_mentioned in: Dougherty'.s proposal. -She will proceed with: that docur--ntation. Stockman a1=%u -esti✓�Q s3�t� Citi did-not fare-gee problems regarding that source of funding. - Page 4 - Park and Recreation Comnission May 14, 1975. Dr.. iNesbitt pointed out that in San .lose, California, aprogram' similar to Dr. Doug:u:rty's proposal was established. Ile :commented that it took' three years to establish contacts with the 17 agencies` involved and dr -a -up a -directory of existing programs. The actual establishment of the program took an additional 2 1/2 to 3 years. He urged Commissionnotto become discouraged. There was a concensus among Commission that the City should not wait the preliminary time period-for<contacting-aoencles as had been done in San Jose." It`was'felt that it was important -that programming -for special popu- lations should be established, even if in a somewhat limited form, as soon as possibleinorder that there would be as little -tine lag as possible between the SPI Program and a community based service. . For, outlined five potentialsourcesof funds for a, program such as Dougherty's proposal and requested that funding possibilities for a community based recreation service along the lines of Dr. Dougherty's proposal be pursued by the City Manager. Five possible sources are: 1. TiCUA Planning Segment monies (could possibly be used to fund a " Therapeutic Recreation Specialist). 2. Title 'XX=(City-would have to provide a match of $4,800). t 3. _Board and Commission $10,000. 4. Oak Grove Park playground funds. /( 51 FY 76 $80,000. Fox wasdirectedby Commission to write a statementofneed to Council incorporating Gene Chubb's funding sources regarding community based recreation services for special populations (attached). There was a con - census that on-census-that the use of Title Y_X funds should be pursued with the local match to come out of local funds such as the Board and Commission $10,000. Fox > will also recommend that an Advisory Committee similar to the one outlined in Dougherty'n proposal be set up immediately in order to get input on if, and „where prooranming`along the lines of Dougherty's proposal would overlap that of other agencies. This committee would also help determine the needs of spacial populations. Within the:. community.' An approximate: size of ten ; was agreed upon. * It was then moved by Hebert and seconded by Kelley that the Park and Pec reation..tommissiun'.recomead that the City Council start proceedings f imxediately to hire a full-time Therapeutic Recreation _Specialist --to in- itiate a nitiate'a community based therapeuticrecreationservice (program) for special -populations -patterned along the lines of the::Proposal,by Dr: Charles _ Dougherty of -April -28, 1975. -Unanimous.

Showalter stated that he was not opposed to rides in City Park, but was _opposed to rides like the ferris wheel and the proposed * roller coaster. Following further discussion, it.was noved by Sangster and secondedby Mascher 'that the Park andRecreation Commission recommend that Mr. Lyle Drollinger be authorized- to, put a small roller coaster in _ City Park.

Local magistrates apparently have been disallowing speeding tickets --n•;ri.tten_,on streets that :•:ere not signed. If the magistrates' -present policy continues, either wo the have to sign every residential and collector street in the City, or the -Police:Department_mOnly as :roll startr:. cenEining their speed limit enforceent only _to those streets which are; signed.

Any container that does not meet the ordinance standards for size,' cleanliness, etc. must be promptly, replaced by an approved solid waste 'container after the City notifies the occupant. -If it is not replaced within_ five_ days' after receipt of the notice, the container and its contents shall be disposed of by the City. -This is-a big change'.from the present ordinance, which says that after ten days,:notice we shall stop, picking up the refuse. Not only is this unhealthy,-but-it is-extremely difficult when you have 150 to 200, properties with improper containers and ,then have to look up owners at the-Court House. 5. The new ordinance says that the City will pick-up only residential` solid waste which is further defined as solid-waste resulting from the maintenance and operation of dwelling units excluding multiple housing facilities with more-than four dwelling units The ordinance also states, however, that upon request the City will °pick-up from-commercials accounts .-a-maximum of-eight containers. Commercial solid waste is solid waste resulting-from the operation of any commercial, industrial, institutional or agricultural establishment and multiple housing facilities with more than four dwelling units. -2 - In effect this will eliminate most large apartment houses from City pick up. -The'present ordinance says Iwe will pick up a maximumoffour - cans from any -property; and of course we violate this ordinance constantly. Whatthe new ordinance attempts to do is strike a balance between providing reasonable service to==large apartment complexes'and ,commercial - accounts; and, yet not require -the City to invest heavily in more trucks and equipment. 6. I have stated that containers shall be placed at the curb or alley for collection and I state that containers shall be removed from the curb the same day collection is made. I have ,not said anything;. about where they shall be stored.- The present ordinance says that they shall be :stored out of sight. I`find.that_this is` -an extremely difficult_' ordinancetoenforce and seems to be aimed only toward aesthetics. If Council wishes us to start enforcing this -we_wi1L_set up proper procedures to dosoand will incorporate something to that effect in the ordinance. 7. The new ordinance requires all persons who .:aul solid waste as'a-,business_ to get a license from the City and have their vehicles inspected.There is also a Section 7;, which gives the City Manager a great deal of -latitude in various items such as special pick up for the 'elderly `and handicapped. This .section is:required since there are always -circum- stances that come up'that require judgments that are not -always -covered by the ordinance. For instance; what does it mean; exactly that cans must be placed at'the `curb? Does this mean 20 feet from the curb, six feet from the curb, etc.? Thesamething applies on -bulky waste. How large an item will the City pick up upon special request? For instance, will we pick up an.old "boiler? I believe this ordinance will eliminate some of the more prevalent problems faced by Refuse crews, namely, -that -of quantities of brush and tree limbs far in excess of an amount thattheCity is`presently ,equipped ;to pick up. It will also eliminate the,difficulty of getting ,rid of deficient solid waste containers and will also eliminate' apartment houses with 15 or 20 small containers which take a tremendous' amount of time to pick up. If there are any questions on this ordinance or you, have any suggested changes, ' - please contact me. This ordinance has been reviewed by Lyle Fisher of the Johnson County Health Department, Joe Pugh, and George Bonnett: I:have also sent copies to commercial refuse collectors in town. ' 75 pounds.

Boy, Girl and Cub Scouting Prepared by Twyla Misselhorn One of the most popular activities offered through SPI is scouting. Chartered Cub, Boy, and Girl Scout troops have been organized with the aid of SPI and the University of Iowa Recreation Education Program. Meetings are held -every _Monday evening from 7-8 p.m. The Cub and Boy Scouts meet at one of.the local- churches and the Girl Scouts meet at one of the Systems - Unlimited, Inc. foster homes. - Three therapeutic recreation graduate students provide the leadership for the boys' program. All threeindividuals have been registered by the Boy Scouts of America. One student serves'as both the Cub and -Scout master, one functions as the den person,.and the 'third student serves as both the institutional representative for the program and as the Boy Scout leader. - Girl Scouts are run by a Systems Unlimited, Inc . foster parent.' Volunteers from undergraduate' therapeutic recreation -classes provide additional -leader- ship assistance. Currently all of the participants' in the scouting' program are from Systems'_ Unlimited, Inc. foster homes. All of the boys are mentally retarded children and range-in.age-from five through fifteen years of age. The girls involved in the Girl Scout program are both mentally and physically handi- capped -and Tange in age from eight through fourteen years. The program breakdown is as follows: six Cubs, five Boy Scouts, and ten Girl Scouts. Program activities are taken from official scouting handbooks.-- Both the Girl and Boy Scout governing' bodies have given the scouting program the permission to adapt and/or substitute any of the established requirements for skill awards and merit badges as deemed necessary. SPI -PROGRAMMING SERIES: III. Music, Drama and Dance Prepared by Carol Stensrud Monday, afternoon, S.P.i. offers a day of creative exercises for children. The afternoon is spent doing group creative dramatics, singing, creative dance andre drama stoics and creaThe tive Carol Stensrud, has specialized in creative dramatics and .creative movement for children and she directs the activities and tries to let the children shape the nature of the program thenactiviever ossible. Fifteen college students volunteer on this day and actively participate in the creative exercisesalong with about fifteen children ranging from ages three to sixteen and having various disabilities and various backgrounds. The first activity of the day is always the name game. The children enter the large open social hall and sit down in a circle. We all clap and chant together, "Round and round in the circle game, rou nd and round, what's your name?" ;Everyone claps for the person when they say their name or make an attempt. The children anxiously await their turn. After the name game, we often do creative movement to music. We follow the leader, do simple square dances or.circle dances, or movement or singing games such as "Farmerin the Dell". We -might -pantomime the story on,a record or follow the musical games that are suggested by Sesame Street records or Hap 'Palmer records. Next we might sit down to listen to a story, or go on a lion hunt aor view a-puppet.show. We discuss the story or play with the puppets free period that follows. We might try.to pantomime characters in the story, or .create our own puppet shows. A musical band might materialize from a box of homemade rhythm instruments that we've made. e create We march, sing, or keep time to musi orchestra. We might put up our Wnstrumentsusic and and pretend we are a symphony , made our bodies become instruments, taking turns being different instruments. We might, `as'a group, form a music box, each contributing his own sound with a certain movement to accompany it: We might try to copy each others movements and _sounds. After this active period, we might have time for 'individual story sharing. A large selection of picture books is available for the volunteers to read to a child or two in their very own corner. SPI PROGRAMMING SERIES: iv. Camping Prepared by Twyla Misselhorn An overnight campout is being planned for all interested SPI partici- pants on the weekend of April 25-26 at one of the local camps in the Iowa City area. The campout is being developed and planned by six undergraduate therapeutic recreation students under the direction and guidance of one of the SPI co -coordinators. Volunteers for; this activity will be individuals in the community or from fields related to recreation. The -volunteer -to - participant -The volunteer to - participant ratio will be,1:2 -- Registrations were sent to all persons registered in the SPI porgram. Due to limited lodge space, only thirty-five participants could be accepted: 15-20 children and -10-15 adults. 'Acceptance wa- s on a -first-come basis in accordance with the established deadline date. Individuals with mental, emotional, social, and physical_ disabilities will participate. Outdoor and nature activities will be stressed during the campout. Tentative=activities include a nature hike, ascavenger hunt, nature arts and crafts, camping demonstrations, active ire activities wilor l include large group campfire on Friday. evening.P -skits, songs, and stunts by various staff and volunteers. The camping demonstration will be provided by Eagle Boy Scouts in the Iowa City area. The remainder of the activities will be planned by the-campout committee. Necessary precautions or considerations for the campout include e obtaining accident insurance for all participants during the following: t _thobtaining necessary medical supplies; securing their stay a a nurse to be th the camp out, and gathering complete medical histories at -on•all --participants; andprovidingtransportation to all participants and volunteers to and from the camp. SPI PROGRAMMING SERIES: V. Swimming Prepared by Carol Stensrud On Wednesday night, SPI children and adults swim during the public swim hours, 7-8 p.m. -SPI provides the needed one-to-one volunteer leader- ship so that all who wish to swim can. Ata quarter to seven, the volunteers assemble and are matched up with a participant°before they go`into 'the dressing room. We usually have five adult special populations and around ten children of all ages come to swim with SPL My volunteers are recreation students or physical education majors; many of"whom:have W.S.I. instructor ratings, so they are qualified to teach children to swim. After fifteen minutes of dressing and warming up in the water, our instructors give fifteen minutes of structured lessons - We have all the participants grouped according to swimming ability, and these groupsrange from dunkers to divers. ` The four groups -are -led by the`W.S.I. instructor, with each individual participant having his volunteer working on a,technique with him. Finally, everyone has a free period of swim. Our participants often join others playing water basketball, or practice on paddle boards or show off their diving skills or play hide and seek and enjoy the water and the company of many other -children and adults '-who `are 'attending the public swim. At 7:45 we all scurry for the warm showers. Volunteers aid those who -need assistance dressing. Independence is stressed,; however,' because learning self-help skillsis part ''of -'recreation -too. of -recreation -too. ----By everyone is warm and dry and ready to_go,home. , After -every -session of SPI, volunteers are expected to fill out a short evaluation form on one of the participants Reviewing these forms, we can then evaluate our prooram and its success in meeting our people's needs. This evaluation greatly aids us in setting purposeful goals for our participants, along with making their progress and development visible: In the three months that SPI has offered swimming, .I have seen five children lose their fear of the water, and all ofthem improve measurably in their confidence and skill in the water. ---- SPI PROGRAMMINGSERIES: VI. Special Events Prepared by Carol Stensrud Easter Benefit Hop An example of the .special events that SPI sponsors is the benefit hop we hold March 21,-1975. The dance was attended by close to 300 individuals from the community. These dances are SP_I's main source -of income this semester, and from this dance we raised 285, dollars. The Easter Benefit Hop was organized and `directed by a committee of seven recreation students who were responsible for every detail. Two months prior, sub -committees were formed to include:' publicity, ticket selling, entertainment, activities, security. refreshments -and decorations, and leadership. These big events are a lot of work so we get started early: Publicity Flyers were distributed, posters were made in a session of SPI with kids painting and helping with the production. These were distributed to local stores and agencies and at the university. ,News releases,` radio spots, and notes in various agencies' newsletters were secured, along with a big write-up about the dance in our monthly newsletter. Post -dance coverage with tickets was also arranged. Tickets - Five -hundred tickets were printed and numbered. All SPI volunteers elped sell tickets before the dance as well as at the door. Sponsorships of more than a dollar were ,also solicited ,from local agencies and businesses. Security - Policemen and women gave their time freely to SPI to serve as security at the dance. For a public dance, -it is always -necessary, to have at least two uniformed police on handtohandle the crowd. Refreshments` and Decorations - Again our SPI participants were involved in making and decorating. We spent the week before the dance preparing chains, pictures and banners, and then we all had "a part in decorating the large social hall _for 'the dance. Refreshments were all donated from local stores. Cups and ice were given by a'local drive-in restaurant, punch by various grocery stores, and a box of candy by a local warehouse. Cookies were made and brought by volunteers, along with a generous donation by a local girl scout troop. vi. Special events cont.

SPI PROGRAMMING SERIES VII.`'Speciel-Olympics Preparedjpy Connie Williams The Second Annual Johnson.County Olympics was held on March 23, 1975, with over seventy participants competing;in such events`as the 50-yard dash,-50-yard wheelchair race, 25-yard-scooter race, 220 relay, 100-yard shuttle, -a wheelchair obstacle race, running.broadjump,'softball throw, basketball throw, and the-bean bag throw.- Clinics were offered while a participant waited for his events -- that.is-if:he was.not busy cheering his companions onto The clinics included such activities as the ball kick, parachute game (a most popular activity), ping-pong blow, gymnastics (low balance beam and t rampoline), basketball throw, football kick, and golf. ::Each participant.'was able to try. out all the activities offered in-the clinics at-his-own pace, with the help of our dignitaries who-ran the clinics. Our dignitaries included basketball players, football players, trackmen`(who did much of the timing and judging), gymnasts,; coaches, and cheerleadersfrom the University of Iowa. Also included .in our list of dignitaries were the Mayor of--Iowa City, Ed Czarnecki; Director of Recreation; Bob' Lee; a local children's TV,host, Dr- Max and-his:clown friend Mombo; Herky the Hawk; and Ronald MacDonald, all of'whom added to the participants' joy:and enthusiasm. Organization and planning were done by members of the "Role of Thera- peutic-Recreation" class. A graduate student, Tom Davis, served as Director, and a`recreation intern,:Connie Williams,.served as his Asssitant Director. Seven committees were established and each was assigned'a particular aspect of organizing the-local meet. -These committees .included: 1); Recruitment (main-responsibility was:,to contact various agencies serving't a eve op- mentally;disabled in order to obtain an intent-to-participate list from - theseagencies and a tentative list of events the participants could compete , in,-and:to send out the medical forms and parental release forms);' 2) Volunteers and Di nitaries (main responsibility was to recruit volunteers, - as'a one-to-one rat o with participants was necessary..to.help participants throughout the day; to orient these volunteers to the various problems such as behaviors, physical limitations, what to do 'in case of a seizure, -etc., before the`day of the meet in an hour-long orientation; to recruit dignitaries; and to set up.registration'for the day of the meet); 3) Equipment and Supplies (main responsibility was:to reserve facilities: for the day of the event, to check out thes facilities, to obtain all necessary supplies for signs, games, etc.); 4) Games (main responsibility forthiscommittee, the most important one on the day of the meets, was to set up, detailed floor plans time schedules, the'events,•_and to assign`the_number of persons ,needed for timing, judging, and assisting, as well, as:plapning the opening and closing ceremonies;- c• „i . v T .y p - Yf�K VII. ;Special _Olympics, cont: p. 2 -5) Safety (main responsibility was to secure a nurse and doctor for the day of the meet, to secure an abulance and first aid materials from the National.Guard, and to obtain insurance for -participants on the day of the meet; 6) Publicity (main responsibility was to get information out for the media, inc uding newspapers, radio and TV, and to prepare and distribute posters to help reach those who mightparticipate; but who were not in a special program, and to help make the public more aware of our efforts; and 7) Fund Raising`(main responsibility was to secure funds, for necessary supplies:suc as stamps,,xeroxing,`paper materials, ribbons;:patches , and -- any other necessary equipment.) - -' Participation_ is base :on the; guidelines established for the state and district Special Olympics. 'These entail that the participant is at _ least ten years old and has -an 1-.Q of 85'or_below. For our meet, however, we lowered the age to eight, as many agencies and -parents expressed a desire for their children to participate. Our age range ,was; from eight to sixty- five. Participants came from -Systems Unlimited, Inc., Nelson Developmental Center, University of Iowa.Hospital School., special education class at Longfellow Elementary, and the Johnson County Care Facility. -Training sessions were held during SPi programs, and other sessions were held at the particular agency if; they so requested.- Training sessions began`two weeks before the meet=and-involved meeting _twice a week for one hour with participants, doing warm-up exercises and actual practicing of the various events._ Evaluations were made at this time as to what events participants were most competent .to succeed in. Each participant had to have a medical form signed by a physician, and a release form signed by the parent or guardian. These forms are very important in that, without the medical information, we cannot determine what events a particular, participant can handle. These forms can be obtained at the state- or_district-_levelfrom the directors.. We=recommend, however, that for the local meet, one make`a-shorter medical form stating the health __ of -the individual, whether or -not -he has seizure problems, a'heart condition, whether or not he needs medication during the meet, and listing any other ;physical disabilities.-A_local,release form statesinformationabout media release, right to give first aid, and establishing. that organizers and volunteers are not liable on•the day of the meet._ Registration on the day of the meet and getting the participant to the volunteer can be handled quickly by using the Master of Ceremonies to announce the number of the participant over the P.A. system. Volunteers and ,partici- - pants are assignedcorresponding numbers. Each participant wears a,large - card tied with string and bearing his name, number, list of events, and a colored dot symbol code indicating any medical -problems. The volunteers with a participant are given -a blue card with specific` leadership hints, and medical, problems listed on'the back of the guard card. (Theseleadership _ hints -can be -established during training sessions.) This helps the volunteer to have a better Understanding of his friend. Volunteers not assigned to SPI PROGRAMMING SERIES: VIII. Leisure.Counseling Prepared by Connie Williams A new phase of the SPI program began this semester with a group of adolescent boys at Southeast Junior High. These boys are involved in a special school program called PAYS (Program for the Advancement of Youth in School.) The eight adolescents are academically behind their peers because :of their behavior problems. Many would classify or label them -as juvenile delinquents. I would rather say they are a group of adolescents who have very low self -esteem -because of their failures -in -academia and thus put on a -facade of being tough. The boys are on a behavior mod system and receive points for appropriate behaviors. They are paid at the end of the week according to how many points they have accumulated over the week. Our efforts began with the problem of non-attendance in physical educationclass by the participants. Another intern and I, along with their -tea che, set up an alternative-physical-educationprogram. This involved five hours each -week of participation in some physical activity. A contract was written up with suggested activities. Each participant was individually` counseled about what activity he would take part in to receive credit.- .Three hours of .each week are to be spent in this contracted activity with a volunteer or parent. There is a -choice of four physical activities; he is allowed :to :choose which four.'" Another stipulation is that not more than 15 hours can be spent in any one activity. (They all love to bowl and in one: week could accumulate enough hours for the entire semester.) .The other two hours are spent in leisure counseling by alternating each week in a group activity, also supervised by the interns. Our goals were to broaden the adolescents' interest and to get them involved in wise use -of --their leisure time. ,(Many go to school for only _ halftheday.) One of the participants has shown an'interest 'in swimming and has been referred to the Wednesday SPI swim program. Many hang out at the Recreation Center and attended the-SPI.Easter Hop.' Volunteers to help the boys meet the required three hours of physical activity were recruited from the Recreation Education program:" They were oriented to the PAYS program and the goals of the alternative physical education program. Another resource which we are now `looking 'into is; the Volunteer Service Bureau for more volunteers to help carry out the program. A spring campout has been planned. The involvement of the boys in the planning will indicate the success of the experience. - Funding a Community Based'Recreation Program" cont.' p. 2 Several of these long-term funding possibilities include: 1. Funding through the Community Development Act (HUD) (Federal Register, Vol. 39,- No. 220, -Wednesday, -Nov. 13, 1974) 2. Funding through social security monies in ,conjunction with the Johnson County, Social Services Department. The Social Services would contract Iowa City parksand Recreation Depart- ment to provide services to special populations. This involves a 25% base matched by 75% by the Federal government. "-- -,-LEGAL ASPECTS - Much of our effort currently is involved in researching the legal aspects of funding for recreational services to specialpopulations, and the legal rights of special populations to such service The accessibility _laws have made it possible for the handicapped_' to get into buildings, but once inside, where are the services? Along with looking into specific; laws, we are seeking class action suits pertaining to denial of services to special populations.
