Welcome

Board of Directors

Willamalane is excited to present to you the summer edition of the recreation guide. July is National Park and Recreation month, and this year’s theme is “A Lifetime of Discovery.” As Willamalane’s new superintendent, I can attest to the power of Michael Wargo, Superintendent discovery through parks and recreation. I’ve worked in parks and recreation for more than twenty years, in three different time zones, so I speak from experience that Willamalane and the people we serve are like no other. When my family and I discovered Willamalane, we relocated more than 2,000 miles and never looked back. Willamalane creates lifelong memories, not just in our parks and facilities here in Springfield, but beyond.

Willamalane’s board is composed of five members elected to serve four-year terms. Public board meetings are usually held on the second Wednesday of the month, 6:30 p.m. at Bob Keefer Center for Sports and Recreation. Meeting agendas are available a few days in advance at willamalane.org.

Anne Ballew President

Denise Bean Vice President

Lee Beyer Director

Greg James Director

There are so many “discoveries” that you and your family can find through our classes, special events, volunteer opportunities, camps and trips, health and wellness initiatives, natural resources and more. What new discoveries lie ahead for you and your family? You hold the key. Think of the Summer 2018 recreation guide as your roadmap to endless possibilities that can last a lifetime. Be active, be well, be adventurous,

Anne Ballew BOARD PRESIDENT Anne Ballew began her association with Willamalane at a young age, swimming at Willamalane Park Swim Center while it was still uncovered. After graduating from Springfield High School and the University of Oregon, she moved to Los Angeles, where she lived for many years. Upon returning to Springfield, she served as a Springfield City Councilor for 13 years. Being a Willamalane Board member is important to Ballew because she believes in the positive influence the district has on our community. “Willamalane provides lifelong health and wellbeing services to district residents,” she said. She appreciates that there is a wealth of programs for adults

Thank you!

and children that exercise their minds and bodies and that families with limited means can participate with little or no cost. Her favorite thing about Willamalane? “It is the staff,” she said. “They are a dedicated, hard-working team who create and deliver programs that are creative and fun. They also treat all patrons with respect and courtesy.”

Staff Picks You can count on Willamalane staff members to know all the best places to walk, work out, learn something new or just relax. Some of their favorites: Jen Marsh: I love exploring Ruff Park, especially when magnolias are in bloom. It’s a hidden gem tucked in a small neighborhood with little quiet vignettes where you can sit, relax and enjoy some fresh air.

Jen Holland: I think that the LEGO classes for kids are a great place for discovery. Kids are learning science, technology, engineering and math concepts in these classes, and it’s mixed with creativity and fun!

Springs the squirrel: I love discovering new friends by playing a game of basketball at Bob Keefer Center! I’ve met so many friendly people that way. Basketball is a great way to work off all those extra filberts, too.

Oregon Outdoor Family Visits Dorris Ranch by heather hicks OUR FAMILY ENJOYS Willamalane’s unique variety of parks, from developed playgrounds to completely natural areas and everything in between. Dorris Ranch is one of our favorite parks. It’s a “living history” hazelnut orchard and a working farm since 1892. Willamalane acquired the property, and all 308 acres were put into public use as a park and non-profit farm. Our family has visited Dorris Ranch many times over the years, and it is a favorite because it’s such a unique park. You can wander through the orchards endlessly, jog the paths in a loop or visit the river for a picnic. Visit during harvest season to watch workers harvest the nuts, or during the spring as they’re replacing trees affected by blight. It’s a beautiful park that’s also connected to Willamalane’s Middle Fork path that winds for four miles between the Willamette River and the City of Springfield. One weekend, after our family recovered from a few weeks of illness, we were eager to get out of the house—out of town—just OUT. But we needed something close to town, stroller-friendly and short enough that we could bail out and go back to the car if needed. Dorris Ranch was just the place. The river is a half-mile from the parking lot, so that was our destination. Every time we’ve ever visited Dorris Ranch, we wander through the orchards to skirt the edge. The path there is easier for the stroller, it’s quiet

and best of all, there’s a big tree. It’s a huge, bigleaf maple, and I think it’s been there since dinosaurs ate hazelnuts. Well, maybe not quite that long. After thoroughly exploring the big tree, we found the road again and headed for the river. The road passes the farm’s old packing shed, outbuildings and a tractor. This is another fun stop for kids, and there’s a spigot for cooling off, filling water bottles and letting dogs have a drink. Finally, we reached the river. We sat at the picnic table (a perfect spot for lunch), watched the water and saw a family in a canoe float past. It’s a serene spot, and after we’d all rested a bit, we headed back the way we came. Dorris Ranch is free to visit, and I hope that you will. It’s stroller- and dog-friendly and perfect for families wanting a weekend hike or a nature trek. There’s more to Dorris Ranch, too, including field trips, a living history village, a Native American plank house and fur trapper’s cabin. We’ll go back soon to explore that area! Heather Hicks writes and maintains the Oregon Outdoor Family blog. Her family (husband, three biological children plus foster children) loves to go on adventures in the Springfield area and beyond. The Oregon Outdoor Family blog was created to help families plan their own trips. Visit at: oregonoutdoorfamily.com.

Swim Lessons

Skill Level Progression Within each age grouping, children progress along a spectrum of skill levels, from the base level of White, to Red, Yellow, Blue and Green.

Ducklings: Age 3 The White level works on helping students gain confidence

and comfort in the water. They will practice submersion skills and blowing bubbles. Once comfortable in the water, students will begin Red level skills, including but not limited to, floats and kicking. No prerequisite.

The Red/Yellow level works on floats and air recovery, sub-

mersion, rolling and kicks. Once those base skills are learned, students will practice forward movement through the water and direction change. They will also advance the skills learned in the White level. Prerequisite: completion of Duckling White or approval through evaluation.

The Blue/Green level covers the beginning stages of freestyle

stroke and backstroke through drill techniques. These techniques include side glide, advanced rolling (position change) and beginning breathing techniques. The skills learned in this level will prepare your student for moving into the Stroke School (advanced swimming skills). Prerequisite: completion of Duckling Red/Yellow or approval through evaluation.

Swim School: Ages 4–12 The White/Red level works on helping students gain confidence

and comfort in the water. Once they have achieved this goal, they will move on to floats and air recovery. Submersion, rolling and kicks are also learned in this class. No prerequisite.

The Yellow level works on forward movement through the

water and direction change. Students will also advance the skills learned in the White/Red level. Prerequisite: completion of Swim School White/Red or approval through evaluation.

The Blue/Green level covers the beginning stages of freestyle

and backstroke through drill techniques. These techniques include side glide, advanced rolling (position change) and beginning breathing techniques. The skills learned in this level will prepare your student for moving into the Stroke School (advanced swimming skills). Prerequisite: completion of Swim School Yellow or approval through evaluation.

Stroke School: Ages 4–12 The White/Red level works on the freestyle stroke and

backstroke. Each student will learn new drills and techniques, as well as review those that were covered in the Swim School. Prerequisite: completion of Swim School sequence or approval through evaluation.

The Yellow/Blue level works on the butterfly and breaststroke.

Each student will learn new drills and techniques that will enable them to perform basic butterfly. This will also carry over to aid in successfully performing the breaststroke. Prerequisite: completion of Stroke School White/Red or approval through evaluation.

The Green level works on refining technique and endurance of

the four strokes learned in previous Stroke School levels. Each student will also learn flip turns and open turns associated with each stroke. Dives may be introduced at the Willamalane Park Swim Center facility. Prerequisite: completion of Stroke School White/Red and Yellow/Blue or approval through evaluation.

Top Tips for

Summertime Water Safety

Aquatics

WITH OUR TOWN situated between two rivers and boasting two swim centers, Springfielders have ample opportunities to swim. But before you wade in, we hope that you’ll prepare using these five easy water safety tips. 1. TEACH KIDS ABOUT THE WATER BEFORE THEY GO IN IT. This includes proper swim training, which Willamalane is able to offer for free to all fourth-graders in our community due to a generous sponsorship from PeaceHealth. “Community health is a commitment that PeaceHealth has made,” said Marcy Marshall, Director of Strategic Communications & Engagement for PeaceHealth Oregon. “It all comes down to access—giving our community members, whether they’re adults or children, access to services that will keep the community healthy long-term. Swim skills are integral to the wellbeing of our community, so we wanted to put our dollars toward giving as many kids as possible the opportunity to build skills they need to be safe.” 2. USE APPROPRIATELY SIZED LIFE JACKETS. “It’s as important as having the right size car seat or bicycle helmet for your child,” says Brandon Mattox, Risk and Safety Specialist at Willamalane. Lane County Sheriff's Search and Rescue Program and the Eugene Emerald Valley Rotary Club hold a life jacket exchange at Cabela’s in Springfield every June, which many families use as a free safety resource.

3. NEVER SWIM ALONE. Always swim with a buddy! If you get in trouble in the water, a second person looking out for you is the easiest path to safety. 4. PROTECT YOUR SKIN. “Remember that it doesn’t need to be sunny to get a sunburn,” says Mattox. “If it’s warm enough outside that you’re going out in a T-shirt and shorts, it’s best to apply sunscreen every two to three hours.” Sunscreen rated at SPF 30 and higher is the best way to protect your skin from damaging sun rays. 5. PREVENT EYE BURNS. As easily as you can sunburn your skin, you can sunburn your eyes. It’s important to wear good UV blocking sunglasses while you’re on or around water to protect yourself from the sun’s glare off the water. One of the safest swim options is to play indoors! Splash! at Lively Park and Willamalane Park Swim Center will be open for waterpark and adult and child swims all summer long. Swimming in these facilities offers reduced risk from the sun, plus there are trained lifeguards stationed for your safety. Whether you play indoors or out on the sparkling rivers, stay safe and have fun!

James Underwood celebrates winning second in state with the Thurston junior cheer squad.

Junior Cheer: Inspiring, Engaging & Building Community COMMUNITY, ATHLETICISM AND PRIDE—THESE REASONS, says head coach James Underwood, are why he sees his students step up to the challenge of becoming junior cheerleaders. Junior cheer’s 2017–18 season ended strong in February, when they won 2nd place at state for the second year running. “It was very rewarding for sure,” Underwood said. Being part of the team makes a huge impact on the cheerleaders’ lives. “The junior cheer kids are very proud to wear their junior cheer gear, and they’re proud to be part of the program,” he said. “Once you’re part of a program like this, you’re part of something bigger than yourself, and your actions impact others.” Underwood has enjoyed the process of building the program from the ground up with Willamalane, starting in 2013. They’ve grown the cheer program from being a short camp— now the season lasts 10 months of the year. Because of high demand, they also started offering minis and youth cheer for elementary schoolers. 46 | Willamalane Park and Recreation District • willamalane.org

Underwood says that a majority of his junior cheerleaders move on to Thurston High School cheer. Having prior experience tumbling, dancing and stunting gives these students a major leg-up. “15 of our 20 varsity cheerleaders this year got their start in junior cheer,” Underwood said. “Even more remarkably, five of our varsity cheerleaders are freshmen. They went straight from the middle school junior cheer program on to the varsity squad at Thurston.” Underwood also is an assistant coach for the high school team and teaches freshman history at Thurston High School. He delights in being able to maintain a connection with his cheer students during a time that might be a vulnerable transition. “It makes our community stronger, because the more adults that care for our kids, and the more kids know that adults care for them, the more engaged kids tend to be in school,” he said. “At the end of the day, I know that cheer makes a difference in these kids’ lives.”

Victoria Fedderson and Kim Weldon share a high five after a great shot.

Emerald Adaptive Bowling League Celebrates 50 Years THIS YEAR, EMERALD Adaptive Bowling League reached a landmark 50 years of spares, strikes and high fives! This program offers opportunities for people experiencing disabilities to socialize, exercise and enjoy being part of a team. Stacia Sucamele has been working with the league for more than 10 years. She, along with Michael Sullivan and Larry Johnson, oversee approximately 100 people who bowl on the league. “My favorite part is watching the bowlers connect, and sometimes reconnect, with each other,” Sucamele said. “Some folks move around group homes so much that they lose contact with each other, so when they come to bowl, they don’t realize that their friends they’ve known for years are also here.” She also loves the small celebrations that happen within every meeting. “When folks get their first turkey (three strikes in a row), and show their excited little dance, those are the moments when you see them achieve small goals that a non-disabled person takes

for granted, that keep me coming back,” she said. Christine Kellis has been on the league for 20 years, and she says she’s one of the best bowlers on the team. “It’s fun,” she says. “My favorite part is being with friends. I have so many friends on the league. I’m the captain of my team, I write the scores down and cheer on my friends.” Tiana Swindall is in her first year with the bowling league. “I love making friends and being part of a team. I feel like I’m already growing,” she said. “I started out using bumpers and now I don’t even need bumpers anymore. I’m definitely a lot happier and more confident.” Emerald Adaptive Bowling League meets on the first and third Saturdays of each month from September through April.

1. Call Your Insurance Company Contact your insurance company and find out if they offer wellness benefits with your plan. Willamalane accepts: • Silver & Fit • Silver Sneakers • Optum Fitness Advantage • AARP Medicare Supplement

Seniors: Silver Benefits Programs for Fitness Many insurance companies offer extra wellness benefits for their members, and seniors can usually cash in. If you are eligible, your insurance will pay for some or all of the cost of a fitness pass. These benefits must be renewed every year so these tips are for everyone, even if you already have a Silver pass! There are three steps you need to take to get a Silver Benefits pass at Willamalane:

If your insurance company offers one of these four programs, ask them for your individual program ID number. This is called a confirmation ID, fitness ID or member ID depending on the program. Some insurances may send you a letter with this number on it. Save it! 2. Bring Your ID Number to a Willamalane Facility After receiving your letter in the mail or getting your program ID number from your insurance company, bring them in to one of our front desks. The front desk at any Willamalane facility will confirm your eligibility by using the number or letter you were given. 3. Start Exercising Once you have been confirmed as eligible, our front desk staff will issue you a pass. If your insurance company requires you to pay for half of your pass or has an annual fee, you will pay

it at this time. You are now ready to start exercising! Silver Benefit passholders can use the fitness center, take any fitness class on land or in the water, lap swim, utilize Exercise on Your Own sessions or enjoy open gym time. If you want to improve your health and make the most of your insurance, take these three easy steps, and get moving!

Every year our group exercise classes located in elementary schools move outside…to the park!

1. Increase vitamin D Levels

There’s no place like the outdoors during the summer and exercise is no different! Recent research has shown that exercising outdoors can increase other health benefits in addition to providing a great workout. Here are more reasons from Harvard Health and others to take it outside:

Researchers at the University of Essex in England found that natural light and “green space” elevates mood, improves self-esteem and mental health.

In the Northwest, vitamin D can be hard to come by and is essential for good health.

2. Boost Your Mood

3. Time Will Fly

In a new study published this year, subjects reported that exercising

outdoors seemed to go faster and was less difficult than their indoor workout. This year, fitness in the park includes P90X, Yoga and Core De Force. All park classes are included in the All-Access Fitness Pass or you can join by paying a drop-in rate at Splash! at Lively Park. See page 66 for additional pricing options. Come out and enjoy the sunshine!

Electronics Class Helps Students Discover Their Power Doug Weiss knows that approaching electronics for the first time can be daunting. As a Lane Community College instructor of 20 years, he’s seen scores of students who thought electronics might be out of their reach. “They’ll look at the schematic and the parts and think that it’s too complicated,” Weiss said. “But it’s my experience that most people know more about electricity and about the way things work than they even realize!” What his students quickly learn is that most principles of electronics are the same physical principles that make sense intuitively to humans. So when they become comfortable with the way that electricity can flow and be manipulated, “There’s no bound around a student’s inquisitive nature. We have fun and we explore electronics together,” he said. Weiss loves teaching classes at Willamalane Adult Activity Center because, unlike at a college or university, the class doesn’t need to contend with accreditation issues, syllabi or regimented material to cover. “People come in here with very specific ideas about what they want to learn,” he said, “So we can take the class whatever direction they want to go.” In a previous session, he said, a couple students were interested in remote controlled recreation vehicles, and they wanted to learn how to do wiring to make different controls work. “This class was very satisfying for them,” he said. Weiss’ electronics classes are built around learning skills in stages. First, he teaches students how to read a basic schematic diagram and plug parts and pieces together to make a working circuit. Then, students move on to a soldering class to learn how to solder components to a permanent board. From there, he teaches Arduino and Radio Communications classes that further the functionality of their projects. “When I see students working on something and enjoying it, it’s like living vicariously through a new set of eyes and fresh hands,” Weiss says. “The classes take on a life of their own, and the possibilities are about endless.”

Android or Apple? Want to increase productivity and decrease tech-related frustration? Pick a platform and stick with it! Many technology users inadvertently complicate their lives by choosing devices that do not play nicely together. A technology platform is a group of devices designed by the same company or by different companies operating within the same set of predefined design principles. Apple, for example, is a platform that includes the iPhone, iPad, Mac computers, iCloud, and the Apple TV for streaming. Because these devices are on the same platform, they can easily share information and interact with each other to improve the user experience. Google’s Android operating system, and associated devices, is another platform. Microsoft is yet another alternative. If you want to dramatically improve your technology experiences, I would highly recommend picking a platform and sticking with it. You don’t have to do that all at once, but keep your selected platform in mind, and when it comes time to replace a device, pick one that operates on the same platform for a more seamless, less frustrating, simplified technology experience. Check out one of our technology classes to get the specific support for your technology use and platform capabilities.

Willamalane is raising funds to replant trees affected by the spread of a fungal infection at Dorris Ranch. We will be removing orchards affected by eastern filbert blight in stages over the next two decades, and replanting with varieties resistant to the infection. You can help Willamalane FIGHT the BLIGHT — by sponsoring a tree, a row or an orchard. Sponsor a single “Jefferson” blightresistant filbert tree, and help save a living piece of local history. $25 Sponsor a row of five trees. Orchardists will plant “Jefferson” filberts in rows, capped off with pollinating varieties. $100 Sponsor an acre. The 258 acres of Dorris Ranch include 11 orchards and 9,809 trees. $2,500 Present an orchard. Help Willamalane secure a lasting future for the valley’s agricultural heritage. Costs vary.
