During WWI in Waco, the puttering, sputtering sounds of biplanes filled the skies. The area around today's Extraco Events Center had been converted into an airfield to serve as a military training facility, and by the time the war ended, Rich Field had graduated some 400 flyers, many of whom served in France. Lee Lockwood, the son of a Waco banker, remembers how the financial community, knowing the training center would be good for Waco, offered its support: "The field could not be obtained without having railroad facilities. It was a long distance from the main line—railroad line. But arrangements were shortly made to buy the necessary property. And a spur track was run from the Cotton Belt railroad through what is now known as New Road and went on forward through to Camp MacArthur. After the war the railroad was abolished and New Road was opened which we used quite often in the city." Lockwood explains that the field provided ample free entertainment: "Aviation at that particular period of time was rather new. And we did go out quite often to watch the maneuvers and the training going on at that time." The amusements of Rich Field extended to other counties as well, as Bobby Joe Fulwiler of Waco describes: "There was one, had engine problems and landed at Calvert. And, of course, everybody in Calvert ran down to see the airplane. It was just marvelous to see an airplane on the ground." After WWI, Rich Field was turned over to the city and became a municipal airport. In a 1988 interview, Jack Flanders of Waco recalls how the airport allowed him to fulfill a dream during his student days at Baylor: "Christmastime, late '40, I told my dad they had a Civilian Pilot Training Program that I'd just give anything if I could take. I just wanted to fly. I always loved the air. Well, he came up with the money, fifty bucks, which included about fifty hours of flying, plus ground school. Ran across larger part of the semester, and we'd go out to what is now called Richfield High School. Well, it was Rich (pauses) Field. And the old office area is in what's the Lion's Den now. I learned to fly out there, [took] ground school on campus, and got my wings in the spring of '41." Two years later, Flanders entered the army air corps and flew 51 missions over Germany. The municipal airport at Rich Field closed a few years after WWII, as it was no longer able to accommodate the newest commercial planes. The Heart of Texas Coliseum, now Extraco Events Center, was built in the early fifties, and Richfield High School, now Waco High, opened in 1961. A Curtiss JN-4 stationed at Rich Field in 1918.

At an ice rink in the Minneapolis suburb of Richfield, Bao Vang and Noah Her kneel on the floor in front of their three children. They pull out pads, tug on skate laces and snap facemask straps into place on their children's helmets.As she finishes tying his skates, Vang asks 8-year-old Sean, “So who is going to be the first Hmong hockey player to play in the NHL?”Sean, who had just scored a hat trick in a game the day before, quickly answered.“Me!” he said, but admitting it might be his sister, Nina, because she's older. While Minnesota boasts more youth hockey players than any other state, the state of hockey hasn't done as well in diversifying the sport.In 2019 USA Hockey began tracking race and ethnicity in its annual participation reports. Last year, the data showed around 86 percent of the 4- to 8-year-olds playing hockey in Minnesota were white. Statewide, the population in that age group is about 67 percent white.That's a big part of why Meredith Lang decided to start Mosaic Hockey Collective — to support young players of color.“What we're trying to do is provide these opportunities, because we know that the better experiences they have, the longer they'll stay in the game,” she said.Lang played hockey as a young girl. She played girls hockey for Richfield High School in the 1990s, just after the sport was sanctioned by the Minnesota State High School League. She said she was usually the only Black girl on the ice.She says that experience and knowledge has helped her daughter to adjust.“I know the game enough to feel confident in my Black child playing. I know how to put on equipment. I'm not intimidated by a locker room by a bunch of dads, you know, I can kind of give her a few pointers from what I remember, I can reach out to teammates, “ she said. “I'm already kind of in. And so it just made hockey more accessible for me being my daughter being a second generation hockey player."There are other efforts to diversify the sport. The DinoMights and North Minneapolis Hockey and Figure Skating programs in Minneapolis are introducing many children to the sport. And Minnesota Hockey has implemented several programs to make the sport accessible.Mosaic intentionally builds that community for kids and parents. The adults sit in the stands during practices, and text each other during the week. Some say they've become a tight knit family.The children range from 5 years old through high school. Many play in their own associations around the region, but meet up regularly to skate and practice together. Mosaic relies on by in from the hockey community — guest coaches from associations, schools and leagues from across the state volunteer to lead practices each week.Behind the rink's glass, Vang reflected on her family's ice hockey journey. They started in Hockey is for Me, run by the Minnesota Wild, a program focused on introducing children to the sport.Vang says her kids were immediately hooked, but there was a steep learning curve for the Hmong family in a largely white sport. Vang said it was intimidating walking into a locker room for the first time not knowing the terminology, equipment, or the ins and outs of the game."There's this little cult around hockey. And if you're not in, boy, you can really feel like an outsider,” she said.Now Vang and Her volunteer for and manage their kids hockey teams in the East metro.‘I'm not the only one'Mirella and her 13-year-old son Ben joined Mosaic a few months ago. They moved to Minnesota after living in New York and Switzerland. They wanted to live in a place that had a strong hockey culture.But soon Ben began hearing racially tinged comments while playing for one local hockey association. His mom does not want to say which one because they are trying to address it within the association. She asked that MPR News not publish their last names.“I didn't truly believe he would quit hockey but he did say I don't want to do this anymore,” she said. “Right now he's a 13-year-old boy, he just wants to have fun. He doesn't want to be an activist right now, he just wants to have fun.”On the ice with Mosaic, Ben said he feels at home.“I mean, it's good to know that I'm not the only one that's going through this and I feel support,” he said.Across the ice, Vang reflected on what Mosaic has done for her family, as well as others.“I get teary eyed thinking about kids who face very, very specific challenges, very nuanced challenges to be really good on the ice. And there's a lot of barriers out there,” she said. “But I can tell you, Mosaic is breaking it down one layer at a time, it is going to make a difference.”

Increasing the number of meatless menu options has been a priority in a variety of onsite dining venues, from colleges, where vegetarian and vegan students often form a powerful interest group, to healthcare facilities where the reported health benefits of eating less animal protein are putting more focus on plant-based dining. Meanwhile, K-12 schools already have a mandate to serve a certain amount of fruits, vegetables and whole grains while limiting the meat portion if they participate in federal school meal reimbursement programs like the National School Lunch Program and National School Breakfast Program. That being said, few if any schools have made as binding a commitment to plant-based dining as Richfield High School in the Richfield Public Schools ISD in Minnesota, as Richfield High recently became the first high school in the country to sign the Forward Food pledge that commits it to increasing its plant-based options by specific amounts by certain target dates. In this FM One on One With podcast segment, Michael Manning, director of food & nutrition for Richfield Public Schools, talks about this commitment, why it was made and how he plans to implement it.

Most sports stories are centered on star athletes who are on their way to big-name schools, but there is a lot more to sports than records, rankings or stats can tell you. Fametta Zubah was a three-sport athlete at Richfield High School and will start the next chapter of her education at the University of Minnesota. She had a few college offers, but elected to concentrate on her studies and other avenues, which include a YouTube channel (a co-production with Mitchell January) and her own product line. Although Fametta won't be suiting up in the maroon and gold colors, she isn't done winning. She was one of two recipients for this year's Mike Zimmer Foundation MVP Scholarship awards. In this conversation, Fametta discusses her transition from sports athlete to sports fan, the growing audience watching the Mitch and Fam YouTube channel, and the lessons sports can offer even if it doesn't translate to state titles.

Jessica Kitzman and I connected through the Stay Home Gallery where we are both represented for 2021!! It has been such a joy to get to know her and her art practice through the gallery and it was nice to connect about teaching in this conversation. Jessica talked about her path to teaching through Americorps and how being in a classroom full of kids making art re-ignited her art practice. She shared how discovering TAB and shifting to a choice-based pedagogy felt right and led her to expand her own art career as well. “Opening up freedom for my students did the same for me.” Being intentional about our choices as teachers and holding ourselves accountable for who, what, and how we share with students is so important. I loved hearing about her work and the ideas she’s exploring through materials with so much embedded meaning. She uses thrifted fabrics, National Geographic magazines handed down from her grandparents, and scraps with layers of meaning. The way she has shifted her practice over time was inspiring. Jessica moved from photography to painting to playing with materials inspired by her students. She shared how her concepts and the way she was writing about her work drove her work to shift and pushed her to explore textiles. It felt powerful in vulnerability to hear how her use of scraps is a metaphor for her own life - she said “I was in pieces also” and talked about putting the pieces back together in this textile practice that is connected to her collage work. I’m excited to see how her work evolves! Jessica Kitzman lives in Minneapolis, MN and currently teaches photography at Richfield High School. Jessica has taught art since earning an MAT at the School of Visual Arts, NYC in 2009, and has taught all grades, K-12. Jessica is a working artist represented by Stay Home Gallery in Tennessee. She works primarily with collage and textiles, exploring personal/cultural history and the identity tensions of queer single motherhood. She has been a contributing art educator for 2 publications from the Teachers College Press at Columbia, Studio Thinking from the Start, and Engaging Learners through Artmaking. Both of these publications frame the classroom as the studio and the child as the artist and advocate for creative agency and power for all kids, a value central to her teaching practice.

Darby Hendrickson is about as embedded as a person can be to hockey in the state of Minnesota. As a senior at Richfield High School, he was named Mr. Hockey. He played two seasons at the University of Minnesota, scored the first goal for the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center and now is an assistant coach for the Wild. Hendrickson shares experiences from his playing days, his work with the Hendrickson Foundation, what it was like growing up as the kid of a hockey coach and what it is like to be a hockey dad. All this and more when he joins the Rink Live's Jess Myers and Mick Hatten on this episode.

Visions ignite a fire that leads to action. You begin to implement your vision and share it with others. Vision in the natural is something that you see but the vision we want to talk about is something not seen in the natural. Vision can often times be interchangeable with dreams. Dreams are desirable and maybe no one else is envisioning. You may be the only one onboard to carry out your vision but you have to make your plan, set your course, and go for it! At the age of 25, Rick received a word from David Wilkerson after a conference. All Mr. Wilkerson, said, “Go for it, son.” It was simple and all Rick needed to move forward with a vision God had given him. He had asked the Lord, where should I go and where should I be to reach out more to young people. Something in him had been brewing in this area for a while. He had already been reaching out as a youth pastor but hadn’t yet spoken in any high schools. When you think of evangelism and impacting a group of people, a lot of times we are given the analogy of fishing, being fishers of men. So, when Rick asked the Lord where should I go? The Lord simply told him, “you should go to the schools.” Like schools of fish. Where are the fish? They are in the schools. You can look for individuals sure but if you want to evangelize, look for the groups of people. Rick started visiting schools and interacting with students in parking lots and school cafeterias.One time Rick was invited in to come into a school by the Vice Principal to hang out with kids in the hallways to talk and help them and encourage them any time he wanted. At this point, he thought God was really working to be given this opportunity. The next time he goes to the school, he had a meeting with the Principal who asked, “What are you doing in my school?” Rick explained he had a heart for kids and wanted to help those who might be going through some tough times like peer pressure, drugs, or alcohol. He replied by saying he had none of those issues at his school and even though the Vice Principal had given him permission, the Principal never wanted to see him on their campus again.Rick could have been discouraged that he had this vision and he was moving forward and then got kicked out of a school. But Rick didn’t let it stop him. Interestingly enough the Principal said to him in that meeting something that gave Rick direction. He said, “You can do anything you want across the street but I just don’t want you here in my school.” So, Rick took that as a word and went across the street to Augsburg Park across from Richfield High School. He brought groups of people to the park where they would share Jesus with the young people and many of those started coming to his home bible study.This was in the spring of 1980, 40 years ago. And during that time parents became touched and inspired and wanted to be a part of the ministry Rick was doing because they were seeing undeniable changes in their children’s lives. Look for God to bring in the encouragers. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Many people don’t have a vision but are willing to help others who have one.At the age of 16, Rick had a vision to start a ministry group with a band, skits, traveling, and testimonies. So, he shared the vision with a group of 12 friends. Afterwards, only 6 were left. One especially said it would never work. There are many stories of mentors discouraging a vision but the person keeps going and lives out the dream and the mentor has to come back and apologize. They could have initially been the greatest help; but their absence causes a person to rely on God instead of the mentor. Be advised and don’t be shaken when discouragers come. Keep stirring the embers to flame the fire of your vision. Under a pile of ashes are hot embers. It is the fire that stirs up people. Don’t be afraid of being on fire. People need it so much right now. Don’t give up. Keep going.

Omar McMillan from Richfield High School joins Brett to discuss creating a positive culture in his program, empowering his players and assistant coaches, and providing leadership and guidance to the young men that he works with. The episode wraps up with a brief overview of a Richfield practice and offensive and defensive principles.

Like many Twin Cities suburbs, Richfield’s population exploded in the decades following World War II. The “Urban Hometown” went from a population of less than four thousand to an emerging city of almost 20,000 in less than a decade. This population increase meant more houses, businesses and, of course, schools. The majority of the city’s current schools were built in the 1950s and 1960s. These learning spaces were great for students interested in going to sock hops and listening to Minnesota Vikings games on the radio, but the spaces have proved challenging for students that want to learn in a 21st Century learning environment. To make sure the city’s education spaces are serving its students to the fullest, the Richfield Public School system is undertaking a major renovation project. For the thirty-fifth episode of the That’s Rich(field) podcast we sit down with former Richfield High School assistant principal and current construction project coordinator Teresa Rosen to discuss how the city schools will be transformed through the renovation efforts.  

Summing up retiring Centennial Elementary School Principal Lee Ann Wise is a next to impossible task. She has been a devout educator for 30 years, who has contributed in some way, shape or form to thousands of Richfield students’ lives. She is also the most successful women’s basketball coach in Richfield High School history. Through it all, she has been fair and consistent. For her contributions to the city, the Richfield City Council announced that June 4, 2019, will be Lee Ann Wise Day in Richfield.   For the twenty-third episode of the That's Rich(field) Podcast we sit down with Principal Wise to discuss her career, how teaching has changed over the last three decades and her historic coaching run.

February is over, and we are exhausted and drained. It has been a brutal month, as my mother-in-law Barb Taylor completed her final journey in her battle against lung cancer.  My wife Julie, her dad Dan, her sister Karen, her brother David and her aunt Karen worked around the clock to help her on this final journey.  Spouses like me were home, trying to keep "normal" household operations going.  Unfortunately, small cell lung carcinoma is an aggressive cancer, and it finally took Barb's life on February 16, 2017.  This is the first of two articles and podcasts dedicated to Barb Taylor.  Part 2 can be found here. On this podcast, I used MercyMe's song "I can only image" as the final song because it was part of the eulogy. Barb Taylor's Kindness  I have known Barb Taylor for more than half my life.  I met Julie's parents when I started dating her when I was in 10th Grade.  She was there for friends and family in good times and in bad times.  She always had a smile on her face, even when she was telling you that something "wasn't her favorite" (meaning she hated it). Barb was so giving, so loving and so helpful.  As I look back on my life, she has been there for so many different and significant events: Barb organized and planned our wedding while creating all the flowers She watched Danny at her home daycare when he was young Barb came to Florida and helped us when Ryan was born She let us stay in her basement while we save money and purchased our first house Barb helped us renovate our first house She introduced Julie to floral design and the wedding floral business that eventually became Julia's Blooms Barb was there for us in our darkest times looking for Danny in Colorado, even though she had been diagnosed with small cell lung carcinoma We will carry that legacy forward.  I am proud of the hours and work Dan, David, Julie, Karen and Aunt Karen put in taking care of Barb.  We will help and be there for Dan, and Julie and I are reaching out to family to reconnect and forge new relationships.  The time for temporary living and autopilot living are over.  Our time on this planet is too short. Barb Taylor's Strength Barb Taylor was diagnosed with cancer during our darkest hours looking for my oldest son in Spring of 2015.  It was devastating leaving her in Minnesota and going to Colorado looking for Danny, but Julie, her dad, David and I all went.  We had to find Danny, and those that stayed behind tried to help Barb however we could.  Those were difficult times, especially when the original diagnosis did not give her much time. Barb was a strong woman.  She beat the original diagnosis and fought cancer for almost two years.  She rarely complained.  Even at the end, we asked her how she was doing, and Barb would smile and say, "I'm good." Because of her strength, she experienced life: Seeing Danny returning home, run his first marathon, become Assistant Manager and go to college Trips to Florida, Georgia and California Seeing her grand daughter Abbey graduate from high school and attend college Celebrating her birthday and other events with family Watching her grandson Ryan play High School Varsity Basketball and Traveling Basketball (her last outing was to Ryan's basketball game against Richfield High School) for two years Barb Taylor was an exceptional woman.  We love her, and we miss her dearly.  We know, however, that she is here in spirit and lessons learned over time.  I hope that gives you some comfort.
