First official bout in the Tri-Cities!  Atomic City Roller Girls vs. Cinder Kittens vs. Slaughter County vs. Rainy City.  Doors open at 2 p.m., bodies hit the floor at 3 p.m.  All ages, cost is $10 at the door.About Roller Derby:Forget what you knew about the WWE-style derby of the past!  Contemporary roller derby is an international, predominantly female sport that typically operates on an amateur (or unpaid) circuit, and has a strong do-it-yourself ethic which often features both athleticism and a satirical campy/punk aesthetic.   Game play (in a nutshell): During a bout, two teams of five skaters each face off on the track. Each team consists of a pivot, three blockers and a jammer. The pivot sets the pace and leads the group of skaters, and the blockers stay behind them, guarding each other in what we call "the pack." The jammers are the scoring skaters and start about 20 feet behind the pack. When the whistle blows, the pack takes off. On a second whistle, the jammers start fighting their way through the pack.  The jammers score points by lapping the track and passing members of the opposing team. The rest of the team tries to stop the opposing jammer from passing them and scoring. At the same time, they knock around the opposing team's blockers to help their jammer score.  For full official rules visit www.wftda.com.

All new music, choreography and routines have been incorporated in this anniversary edition with a major emphasis on the historical background and foundation of the Lipizzaner breed, from its original breeding and use as a horse of war to a horse of nobility and aristocracy to a living form of equestrian art. The show emulates the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, in its presentation of Lipizzans, and maintains a traditional as well as entertaining performance similar in many ways to what you would see at the Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Also included in the performance is a segment called the "Airs Above the Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art. When you see the Lipizzans perform, it is like stepping back four hundred years and viewing one of the greatest equine ballets in history.     TICKET PRICES: There are a limited number of Gold Circle Seat tickets available for $26.50 (no discounts apply). Regular Admission adult tickets are $22.50 and $19.50 each. Discounts are available for children 12 and under and seniors 60 and over and for groups of 15 or more (no double discounts).

Genocide in Our Time: Why Darfur Matters A presentation by James Waller Thursday, September 17, 7 p.m., Richland Public Library Hosted by Friends of the Richland Public Library As global citizens, it is imperative to recognize that genocide continues to occur in the twenty-first century. Since February 2003, the genocide in Darfur, Africa’s largest country, has devastated millions of non-combatant civilians in Darfur. This timely presentation will contribute to the public understanding of contemporary life by exploring the ways in Darfur matters in a globalized world and how we, as citizens, can respond to shape political will and impact public policy. In the unlikely case that the genocide in Darfur would end in the near future, this presentation will still be applicable to empowering communities and individuals with the tools to prevent and stop other genocides in the future.
