cheat_training_group Swift Water Rescue Class

Hey all,

Thank you all so much for being apart of the Calleva Liquid Adventure's team. At Calleva our program is designed to take you from the first time in the boat to the point where you are self-sufficient on the water. I think a huge part of that is a swift water rescue class. The purpose of this 2 day class is to teach you how to take care of yourself and others on the river. I once heard this great quote: "Kayaking is an individual sport in a team atmosphere" and I think that to be apart of that "team" is being able to help each other in a rescue situation. I have seen more accidents in class 3 than I have in class 5, so don't think it only happens to those guys at Great Falls.

In this class we will focus on the whole curriculum as written by the American Canoe Association (check it out here), but we will be spending 75% of our time on practicing the skills that you will use 90% of the time. Most of my swift water rescue courses are taught as we paddle the river, we will spend the least amount of time talking at you and the greatest amount of time talking with you and practicing.

I encourage you to take this course. Our staff take it every year to brush up on skills and after all that time they still walk away learning something new every time. check out more online here. https://calleva.org/liquid-adventures-kayak/professional-development/aca-swiftwater-instructor/

For your viewing pleasure here is a video of me getting really beatdown in Canada:

Hope to see y'all out there September 8 and 9.

PADDLE EVERYWHERE!

[WardFive] Appreciation Reception Honoring Fred Allen

[WardFive] MuralsDC Plans 8 New Murals

MuralsDC Collaborative Plans 8 New Murals to Help Fight Graffiti this Summer

Program continues to seek wall donations from property owners

The Bowser Administration completed the first of eight new murals at the West Education Campus DC Public School this week, as part of its MuralsDC collaborative with the Department of Public Works (DPW) and the Commission on the Arts and Humanities (CAH). With these new additions, a total of 70 MuralsDC murals will be in place by the end of summer.

“The MuralsDC program is an effective tool for preventing graffiti vandalism and a great way to support and sustain our city’s vibrant arts culture,” said DPW Director Christopher Shorter. “We make sure that every mural captures the energy of the neighborhood it lives in and look forward to unveiling the new visual representations of our city and its history over the coming weeks.”

MuralsDC, funded by DPW, is one of several tools the agency employs to curb graffiti vandalism in the District. Since 2007, the program has installed nearly 80 murals in every ward of the District on building walls donated by commercial property owners or by the District government. Artists are invited to participate via an annual solicitation issued by CAH, which uses DPW’s funding to provide grants to artists who are ultimately matched with a wall. Commercial property owners can donate their wall year-round by sending a request for consideration to murals.dc@dc.gov.

“These murals enhance the aesthetics of our neighborhoods and contribute to the District's diverse and vibrant community,” said CAH Interim Executive Director Angie Gates. “We’re excited to continue to contribute to the District’s creative economy and to provide a lucrative career path for young, local artists.”

The West Education Campus school is located in Ward 4. MuralsDC’s remaining projects will be installed in wards 1, 3 and 5 during August and September. The locations and artists are as follows:

Location	Artist
1785 Florida Avenue, NW	Eric B Ricks
3020 14th Street, NW	Cita Sadeli
3018 14th Street, NW	Nessar Jahanbin
2603 Connecticut Avenue, NW	Joe Pagac
3716 Macomb Street, NW	Aaron Scales
1335 Farragut Street, NW	Federico Frum
1101 Bladensburg Road, NE	Jordann Wine
