development, Culture & Leisure Services Director was approved to sit for and passed the Certified
Park and Recreation Executive (CPRE) exam. This prestigious certification, administered by the
National Park and Recreation Association is the premier certification for the parks and recreation
industry; "Founded in 2011, the purpose of the Certified Park and Recreation Executive Program
is to establish national standards for executive certification in the recreation, park resources, and
leisure profession. The test is based on the results of a job analysis, and the content outline is a
reflection of the role of hundreds of recreation and park professionals. Each year's examination
matches the content outline, and all test questions have been unanimously approved by a
Committee of subject matter experts." (NRPA.org). There are less than 25 individuals that
currently hold this certification in Florida.

Athletic Leagues
Wednesday night intermediate Tennis starts its winter season this week. Thursday night
intermediate Tennis is going strong and just past mid -season. Due to the popularity of the division,
Staff has added a Monday night intermediate league to accommodate the demand. Both the
Wednesday advanced Racquetball and Thursday intermediate Racquetball leagues are nearing the
half way point of highly competitive seasons. Wednesday Co -Ed Kickball is nearing the end of its
season and registration has already began for the next round. Thursday night Co -Ed Softball is
currently registering and will start their next season on January 18th.
Projects
Shuffleboard Court Resurfacing Project —The shuffleboard court resurfacing project is nearly
finished. Upon commencing the project, the Contractor noted immediately that the previous
resurfacing used tennis court materials which is the wrong surface for shuffleboard courts. The
tennis court surface is meant to provide grip, which is contrary to the shuffleboard surface that is
constructed to slide the pucks. The Contractor indicated that this practice is not uncommon. Many
municipalities don't know what a proper surface should be and it is cheaper to just paint the courts
rather than resurfacing them. Additionally, the improper surface resulted in many holes and hollow
spots that were discovered when the old surface was removed. All of the holes will be patched
with concrete and a new acrylic surface will be applied to the courts making them proper
shuffleboard courts again. When reopened, users will see a 100% increase in the quality/playability
of the courts.

LED Tennis Court Lights —New LED tennis court lights were installed and tested. The new energy
efficient lights provide even coverage and save well over 50% in energy costs. They also offer the
luxury of instant illumination when compared to old halogen lights that need to cool down before
being able to be turned on again after use.

Parents Night Out: Holiday Edition-- Whether parents needed a few hours to do some holiday
shopping or a just fun evening out on the town, we had them covered! Staff hosted an action packed
evening of fun, movies and games for children ages 5-10 at the Nancy Hanson Recreation
Complex. The evening also included a pizza party sponsored by local resturant Papa Vitos that
was a huge hit. By the end of the evening, the kids were reluctant to go home.
Kids Yoga in the Garden —Contracted Instructor Rebeca Chapman hosted her first Kids Yoga in
the Garden in November at the Community Garden on Patriots Park. Families enjoyed a great
morning of fresh air and exercising in one of the most tranquil places in the City. The next one is

Cultural Programs
Rewriting History —For decades, Cape Canaveral and its Port have celebrated the City' s little
known cameo appearance in America' s War for Independence, definitively dubbed "The Last
Naval Battle of the American Revolution". As such a treasured piece of the City's history, Cultural
Programs Manager and Brevard County Historical Commissioner, Molly Thomas took it upon
herself to dust off this old story and bring it back to the light, writing a three article series about
the event for the local history publication, The Indian River Journal. Through the glories of modern
technology, Ms. Thomas was able to dig a little deeper into the story uncovering records likely
inaccessible to previous researchers. Included in these, were digitized images of handwritten ship
logs, primary sources penned by Commodore Barry himself, which gave day-by-day details of his
extraordinary journey out of Havana. Using the coordinates and times listed in Barry's records,
she was able to map out Barry' s route from start to finish —calculating his travel times each step
of the way. As exciting as these records were, Ms. Thomas did not anticipate where they would
lead —or more precisely where they wouldn't lead. After hours of reading, mapping, calculating
and re -calculating, the disappointing truth became abundantly clear. The Last Naval Battle of the
American Revolution did not happen anywhere near Cape Canaveral.
As difficult as this conclusion was to accept, accuracy and integrity are not optional. It is
overwhelming how frequently legends evolve into "facts" and how quickly these facts can change
with the introduction of newly available sources. It is the responsibility of those in public history
to ensure that consensus history does not prevail over the truth, even when the truth is not in their
favor. To help promote these findings, Florida Frontiers published an article this week in Florida
Today discussing Ms. Thomas' research and what it means in the scope of Florida history. If you

Miscellaneous
Blood Drive —The last blood drive of 2017 took place at the Library on Friday, December 15,
2017. According to the City's Liaison from OneBlood, donations from residents / visitors had
saved 216 lives in 2017.
Fire at the Library —A trashcan caught fire outside of the Library during a meeting of the Planning
and Zoning Board in November. Canaveral Fire Rescue was on the scene within minutes to put it
out. Staff cleaned up and power washed the remnants. A new can was purchased and installed. It
is believed that a lit cigarette was thrown in the can even though a cigarette container was available
next to the garbage can.
