#Randolph – Situational Awareness and Self-protection Course

I brought both my boys here to become NRA certified when they became ‘curious’ about fire arms.  Their ‘curiosity’ absolutely changed into an educational representation with respect on the topic of anything to do with guns.  It was nothing I could have done or taught them.  But I saw and felt the respect and knowledge that came from them after I brought them here.  This looks like an excellent class too; especially if you have kids going off to college.


Situational Awareness and Self-protection Course

Length of Course: 3 hours
Tuition: $85.00

Date: Saturday July 21 at 9am

Description:

Situational Awareness is the ability to identify, process, and comprehend the critical elements of information about your environment with respect to yourself and a given situation. …More simply: it’s knowing what is going on around you.

Being aware of your environment is a key point in self defense, as well knowing how to avoid a situation before it ever happens.

This course will help you identify a potential threat before self defense is necessary, as well as being more aware of your environment during a defensive situation – this includes having an exit route in mind based on the layout of your surroundings. We will also help you understand stress levels, and how to manage them during a defensive situation.

 

PLUS: This 2 hour class offers basic knowledge, skills, and attitude for owning and using Pepper Spray. This course will cover the legal aspects surrounding who may carry and under what conditions one may use Pepper Spray. Additionally, the class will show what Pepper Spray can do, how to wear and carry Pepper Spray, explain what happens to a person who is sprayed, and first aid and decontamination procedures in the event you are sprayed.

Actual practice with inert spray is included in the class!

Upon successful completion of the course students will get their own Pepper Spray to take home.

Focus Areas:

  • Training on the mental aspect of situational awareness
  • Discussions on the different levels of stress and how to function in them
  • Training in the use of pepper spray including spraying real people with inert spray an active pepper spray canister is included at the end of the class.
  • Digital Simulator training for stress inoculation and OC training
  • Use of the shoot house and vehicle for realistic training

Class Prerequisites:

None

Required Equipment and Supplies:

None

#Denville – County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

 

 

Posted Tuesday, July 17th, 2018

Openaki Road Bridge to be Shut from Aug. 8-10  

The busy Openaki Road Bridge in Denville, a one-lane span that crosses the Den Brook at Openaki Lake, at the Randolph border, will be closed to traffic for at least three days next month to allow for repairs to a recently discovered structural flaw.

County to Close Bridge At Denville-Randolph Border for Repairs Next Month

Openaki Road Bridge

State bridge crews, during a routine inspection, discovered a flaw in the concrete deck on the bridge, which requires immediate repair.

While the bridge currently is safe to use, that section of the bridge deck must be fixed as soon as possible to prevent further deterioration.

The bridge is scheduled to be fully replaced in 2020 but the existing bridge must be kept in service until that time.

The repair work, to be done by the county Bridge Division, has tentatively been scheduled for Aug. 8, 9, and 10, prior to the start of the school year.

County officials have reached out to officials in Randolph and Denville to advise them of the issue, and to coordinate the repair work schedule and a detour plan.

During the work, Openaki Road, which becomes Casterline Road in Randolph, will be closed and traffic will be detoured from Shongum Road to Everdale Road to Mountainside Drive. Motorists should plan for alternate routes, especially during commuter hours.

The Openaki Road Bridge, a steel stringer structure, was built in 1924 and was rehabilitated in 1992. The 15.5-foot-wide, 54-footlong bridge carries an average of 4,600 vehicles daily. It is posted to carry 13 tons.

The recent inspection by the state Department of Transportation found that a portion of the deck slab was fractured and had settled, exposing the bridge’s  reinforcement steel.
