Re: [WardFive] VOLUNTEERS WANTED NOW!! -The 87th ASALH Black History Luncheon - Feb. 23, 2013

I am a member of the African Diaspora in my parish. We support schools and churches. As a matter of fact we are the only church that stood with Mandela when he was jailed. When he was released he came to our church when he came here and thanked us. Lady Sunday the members met at our next meeting we will have a rep from the White House to discuss immigration
Reform.

This summer, we will continue our work of training middle and high school youth in musical theater, ballet, visual arts, and production design. Participants will collaborate with professional artists on the world premiere of Endangered!, a new musical with Book & Lyrics created by Keni Fine, and Music & Orchestration created by Tony Small – both alums of the Tony Award Winning BMI Musical Theatre Workshop.

Participants will perform at the following:
· Fort Dupont Park Jazz Festival
· The Kennedy Center Millennium Stage
· Michigan Park Christian Church

In addition to the arts conservatory training being offered, participants will spend four days exploring physical science and electricity through our partnership with the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) funded by GlaxoSmithKline.

Auditions are being held at Michigan Park Christian Church located 1600 Taylor Street NE, Washington, DC 20017 on Monday, July 1, 2013 from 6pm-8pm. To audition, please RSVP to Damion Parran, BGCGW Arts Administrator at dparran@bgcgw.org<mailto:dparran@bgcgw.org>, or via phone at (202) 540-2345.

The Ward 5 Report:
Office of Councilmember Kenyan R. McDuffie
June 28, 2013

Ward 5 Highlights:

Moving Ward 5 Forward

This week, Councilmember McDuffie delivered his State of the Ward Address at the Luke C. Moore Public High School. During his address, Councilmember McDuffie reflected on the past year and outlined his vision for the Ward.

"Together, we have made great strides towards bringing economic development to our major corridors, developing a collaborative structure for modernizing our industrial land, and improving the quality of life for all residents," said Councilmember McDuffie. "Over the past year, we have made some progress, but we have a lot more work ahead of us. Together, we can build on the progress we've made and continue to move Ward 5 forward."

Thank you to all of the residents who joined us for the State of the Ward Address. Copies of the PowerPoint presentation and the First Year Progress Report distributed during the address can be found here.

Councilmember Secures Funding for Ward 5 through the Budget Surplus

In addition to previous Fiscal Year 2014 Budget successes, this week, Councilmember McDuffie secured funding through the budget surplus to resurface Taft Field and the Edgewood Field. Through the Budget Support Act, the Councilmember was able to allocate $1.5 million for the Taft Field and $1 million for the capital improvements to the Edgewood Field. Additionally, Councilmember McDuffie worked with his Council colleagues to send $4 million in surplus funds to the Community College of the District of Columbia's Bertie Backus Campus for capital improvements, and roll back the District's sales tax rate from 6 percent to 5.75 percent.

Councilmember McDuffie Hosts Community Walk-Through in Brentwood

On June 22, Councilmember McDuffie held a community walk-through in Brentwood. The Councilmember was joined by the District Department of Transportation, the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs, the Department of General Services, the Department of Public Works, the Metropolitan Police Department, the District Department of the Environment, the Brentwood Civic Association, the Brookland Manor Tenant Association, and other community stakeholders to address quality of life issues and to give residents the opportunity to engage various District agencies. The walk-through also provided an opportunity to identify areas where residents wanted to see heightened security and environmental concerns addressed.

Councilmember McDuffie's office will conduct a follow up walk-through in the coming weeks to monitor what progress has taken place and address any additional concerns. See additional pictures from the Brentwood community walk-through here.

Ward 5 Nats Night Out

We are looking forward to your presence at the Ward 5 Nats game, on Sunday, July 7th at 1:35 p.m., against the San Diego Padres. We are asking all ticket recipients to arrive at 12:30 p.m. for the pre-game activities. There are no additional tickets available at this time.

For your convenience, we have arranged for the tickets to be picked up on Sunday, June 30^th, at Flip It 2 Restaurant, located at 1544 Rhode Island Avenue, N.E. from 2-4 p.m. During this time, Jon Mandel will be on hand to distribute the tickets. Otherwise, tickets can be picked up (excluding weekends) at the Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 506 from now until Wednesday, July 3rd from 9-5pm.

If you have any questions, please contact Fatimah Wilson at 202-724-8028.

Legislative Update:

Councilmember McDuffie Introduces Bill Requiring Transparency in Affordable Housing

During this week's legislative meeting, Councilmember McDuffie introduced legislation designed to improve how the District measures the affordability of housing units. The "Truth in Affordability Reporting Act of 2013" requires the District to measure the affordability of housing projects against the District's Median Family Income (DCMFI) in addition to the federal Area Median Income (AMI) standard. Currently, the District evaluates whether a housing unit is affordable by determining the cost of the rent or mortgage compared to the AMI.

"Although there is a vast gap between AMI and DCMFI, we still measure the affordability of our D.C. housing units against the AMI," said Councilmember McDuffie. "But what is affordable in Northern Virginia is not always affordable for many families here in the District."

Additional information about the bill can be found here.

Councilmember McDuffie Takes Legislative Action to Improve Air Quality

This week, Councilmember McDuffie introduced legislation to strengthen air pollution enforcement and engage residents in the air quality complaint process. The "Air Quality Amendment Act of 2013" requires the District Department of the Environment (DDOE) to develop a written plan for investigating, analyzing and responding to air quality complaints. Additionally, the bill improves communication between DDOE, residents who make complaints, and affected Advisory Neighborhood Commissioners through required complaint status updates. The bill also strengthens penalties for violations. Additional details about the bill can be found here.

Announcements:

McKinley Middle School Hard Hat Tour

Please join McKinley Technology Education Campus, located at 151 T Street, N.E., for a Hard Hat Tour of the new middle school wing of the campus on Saturday, June 29^th, from 3 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Space is limited. For more information contact McKinley Technology at 281-3950.

Heat Advisory for Seniors

Summer is upon us, and temperatures could approach 100 degrees, with higher heat indexes. The D.C. Office on Aging has a few helpful tips to help seniors beat the heat:

Make contact with homebound or at-risk senior clients to let them know of the heat alert and air quality alert.
Ask seniors to stay at home or reduce outdoor activity.
Ask neighbors, friends and relatives to check on frail or isolated elderly individuals.
If you discover the temperature is too hot when checking on a homebound senior, assist the senior in trying to keep cool.
Advise seniors to stay indoors and not to go out between the hours of 10am and 3pm.
Tell seniors to stay cool by taking frequent baths and showers, drinking water, wearing light clothing, turning on air conditioners and fans, and go where they can cool off.

Here's a list of the Senior Wellness Centers that are designated cooling centers. Each center is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

[WardFive] Re: [ward5coe] Fwd: Where is the political will for public education?

1. Do we have a copy of the legislation and the complete amendment?

Which 7 voted against the amendment and why?

Rob Ramson

Dear Faith --

Yesterday, seven members of the Council voted down an amendment I offered to dedicate the District's unexpected revenue for 2014 towards addressing the achievement gap between minority and white students. The District has the largest achievement gap in the nation, and my amendment would have allocated new resources to poor students in the District's school funding formula.

Many other states and school systems which use a per student formula offer an additional weight to students from low-income households. Currently, the District does not. Amazingly, after lobbying by the Mayor, the amendment failed by 1 vote.

Where is the political will for public education?

[WardFive] DPW Observes Independence Day, Thursday, July 4

DPW Observes Independence Day, Thursday, July 4

*Sanitation services will be suspended.

*Parking regulations will be enforced in the Nationals Stadium neighborhood.

*All services resume Fri., July 5.

The Department of Public Works (DPW) has announced how services will be affected Thursday, July 4, 2013, when the District observes Independence Day. Trash and recycling collections and street and alley cleaning will be suspended. Parking enforcement will be suspended, except in the Nationals Stadium neighborhood where all parking regulations will be enforced. All services will resume Friday, July 5.

Trash/recycling collections: Thursday and Friday trash and recycling collections will “slide” to the next day. Thursday’s collections will be made Friday and Friday’s collections will be made Saturday.

Parking Enforcement: All parking regulations will be enforced in the Nationals Stadium neighborhood. Elsewhere, DPW will suspend enforcement of expired meters, residential parking and rush hour lane restrictions. Also, booting, towing and abandoned vehicle removal will be suspended. Enforcement resumes Friday, July 5.

Ft. Totten: The Ft. Totten Transfer Station, located at 4900 John F. McCormack Drive, NE, will be closed. Residents may resume bringing bulk trash and recyclables on Friday, July 5 between 1 pm and

5 pm.

The next Saturday household hazardous waste/e-cycling/document shredding drop-off day is July 6, 8 am to 3 pm, (these services are available every first Saturday of the month, except holidays). To accommodate residents whose religious beliefs prohibit them from using the Saturday drop-off, DPW will accept household hazardous waste and e-cyclables only on Wednesday, July 3 from 1 pm to 5 pm. (DPW usually provides this alternate drop-off day the Thursday before the first Saturday of the month, but because of the July 4^th holiday, these services will be provided July 3.) DPW will not accept personal documents for shredding on Wednesday, July 3 as there is no way to secure these items until the contractor arrives on Saturday.

Directions to Ft. Totten: Travel east on Irving Street, NW, turn left on Michigan Avenue, turn left on John F. McCormack Drive, NE and continue to the end of the street. For directions from additional locations, please click on http://dpw.dc.gov/node/414922.

[WardFive] Education Briefs: Majority of Displaced DCPS Students Not Enrolled

http://m .washingtoninformer.com/news/2013/jun/26/majority-dcps-displaced-students-not-enrolled/

District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) Chancellor Kaya Henderson said recently that just 13 percent of students who attended the 15 schools that have been slated for closure in July, have signed up for re-enrollment at another city school when classes resume this fall.

Citing efforts by DCPS officials to beef up its student recruitment campaign this summer, Henderson, who initially mandated the closing of 20 neighborhood schools late last year primarily because of under-utilized buildings and low test scores, said her "Transition Marketing and Recruitment Plan," focuses on getting at least 80 percent of the displaced students to re-enroll at other District public schools.

cheat_training_group Dickerson time change, New, Yough

Happy Thursday, LAKS friends!

This weekend we will be changing the time for Dickerson to 7:15am for an 8-10 paddle due to the heat. You can sign up online or let me know if you plan to come. Don't forget to bring your current PWRC card, an ID, and a NRG waiver. Next week, July 6th, we will also have the Dickerson Workout at 7:15am. There will be no workout July 13th due to the Falls Race.

We could use some volunteers to help at the Falls Race, Saturday July 13th, 10am until about 3pm. We primarily need safety (SWR certified) and timing.

This weekend, Todd is taking some of the Class III Club to the New River. There is space for one or two more, let me know if you are interested!

We have had some awesome days on the Upper Yough this season! We are adding a trip on July 6th. Registration is available online but the group size is very limited.

Finally, I saw a post for some large size slalom boats that George Rudnitsky is selling on Paddle Prattle if interested http://www.monocacyboard.org/mboard/msg/32187.html

Thanks, all, and have a great weekend!

A Rinse and a Roll on a River in Nepal

By MARK SUNDEEN

I also paddled a stretch of the Bhote Kosi in Nepal back in Spring of '99 before the revolution - the higher you go the creekier it gets - until it flows into the Sun Kosi which is kind of like the Lower Yough - the section I paddled was probably comparable to the Middle Fork into the Tygart in terms of difficulty but a much different landscape. Check it out if you are heading to Nepal!

There are a lot of kayaking opportunities in Nepal and it is easy to set up trips in Kathmandu.

Bhutan is supposed to have some great paddling also with some natural hot springs.
