Fall E-Activity guide final pdf

Message From The Director Summer is nearing an end and so is the City’s Summer Science Series that occurred in both the Richland Library, Community Center, and throughout the park system. The various programs were a huge accomplishment and I want to thank everyone that contributed to their success! I also would like to call special attention to the top notch quality of our little league and softball fields this year maintained by City Staff. The ball fields at Badger Mountain Community Park and at the Columbia Playfields are maintained at a level that attracted several statewide tournaments this year. These out of town visitors stayed in Richland hotels, ate at Richland restaurants, and supported your local economy. It’s my philosophy that the City’s park system is an important contributor to the City’s quality of life and our economic well-being. Your Parks and Public Facilities staff deserve a big thank you for their hard work and dedication to make Richland facilities stand out from the crowd.

This fall we plan to focus special attention on the City’s “walkability” programming. Richland is a walkable community and we plan to showcase a few facilities through hikes and other guided walks.

Fall also welcomes registration for the annual basketball league.

The popular program promotes sportsmanship and camaraderie while engaging in friendly competition. All skill levels are welcome!

Please mark your calendar for September 5th and join us for the final outdoor event of the summer – Kids Fun Friday at Badger Mountain Community Park. Come enjoy a final session at the splash pad, participate in a number of games and activities, enjoy food from participating vendors, and watch “The Lego Movie,” the last outdoor movie of the season.

Thank you for your continued support and use of City facilities. Please do not hesitate to reach out via social media or our website to provide feedback.

Joe Schiessl City of Richland Parks and Public Facilities, Director

Commission Corner For many of us the arrival of fall can bring feelings of contentment as we anticipate (or dread) cooler weather, busier schedules, mild days where a cozy sweater feels just right, and excitement over the prospect of robust meals and a sense of turning in for the winter. As Chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission, this time of year feels more like a new year than the actual beginning of the calendar year. The reason is, I’m a school teacher and the arrival of fall means balancing schedules, meals, kids’ activities, and so on. This sometimes frantic change of pace tends to affect the available time for a dreaded ghost that haunts many of us in our society.

What I find reassuring about this particular ghost is that many people have a knack for busting it. They have workout routines, healthy eating plans, discipline and so on.

But, for others of us, we can feel daunted and terrified about how to deal with it and perhaps this overwhelming fear keeps us from facing it.

I believe the solution here is not overly complicated or costly. On a very practical level, we have great facilities and activities in the City of Richland that can assist us in improving our overall health. Whether it be checking out the Urban Green Belt Trail, figuring out where Chamna is, discovering the disc golf course in Lawless Park (you don’t have to play, just walk around the course), or taking a hike with our Park Ranger, these activities could take the edge off consuming some Halloween candy or another slice of pumpkin pie. But I believe our overall health isn’t just about our bodies, we need activities that can be mentally soothing. My goal going into fall is to have a healthy attitude about the change in pace and participating in activities that bring an overall sense of well-being: taking in the beauty of the changing season, maybe collecting some leaves, and knitting a tree sweater. I hope as you go through the Fall Activity guide, you too find an activity that brings you comfort and satisfaction.

General Education Women's Self Defense Instructor: Richland Police Detective Athena Clark, R.A.D. Certified Instructor Most women know all too well the sense of feeling like targets for whatever dangers may be lurking. Knowing how to protect yourself empowers your capabilities, softens the range of feeling powerless, while heightening your sense of awareness. Millions of women are attacked each year and preparation is the key to survival. Statistics show that 1 in 3 women will be involved in a sexual assault at some point in their lives.

90% of the time, the threat is someone known to the woman.

The Richland Police Department is offering a 'Rape Aggression Defense' (R.A.D.) class to interested women ages 12 and up. The R.A.D. system is a comprehensive, women-only course that begins with awareness, prevention, risk reduction and risk avoidance, while progressing on to the basics of hands-on defense training. R.A.D. is not a martial arts program. Each student will be provided a workbook/reference manual. The manual outlines the entire Physical Defense Program for reference and continuous personal growth, and is the key to R.A.D's 'free lifetime return and practice policy for R.A.D. graduates.

Columbia Point Golf Course Super Tips Columbia Point Golf Course opened in September of 1997 as a renovation of the original Sham Na Pum Golf Course. With the continuous residential and commercial development of this area, Columbia Point Golf Course functions as a unique natural filter for storm drains and water runoff form streets and parking lots. Mature turf contains a vast fibrous root system, and due to its chemical properties, binds many pollutants that can be broken down by soil microorganisms before reaching groundwater. There are over a hundred grass swales (called dry wells) throughout the golf course that act as natural catch basins from storm water run-off (see photo for example).

It’s been a long, hot summer and we have set a few record highs this year…that’s saying something considering the history of this area. I for one am looking forward to cooler temperatures coming this fall. Thanks for reading and I hope you take the time to visit your Columbia Point Golf Course!

We welcome guests on all club trips. Anyone wishing to take part only needs to register with the trip leader. Longer trips have more advanced sign-up deadlines so check well in advance!

Sports Concussion and Head Injuries (Zachary Lystedt Law) A concussion is a brain injury and all brain injuries are serious. They are caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head or by a blow to another part of the body with the force transmitted to the head. They can range from mild to severe and can disrupt the way the brain normally works. Even though most concussions are mild, all concussions are potentially serious and may result in complications including prolonged brain damage and death if not recognized and managed properly. In other words, even a “ding” or bump on the head can be serious. You can’t see a concussion and most sports concussions occur without loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of concussion may show up right after the injury, or can take hours to fully appear. If your child reports any symptoms of concussion, or if you notice the symptoms or signs of concussion yourself, seek attention right away. For current and up-to-date information on concussions go to: www.cdc.gov/concussion
