AFTER ATTENDING THE CLINICS AND LISTENING INTENTLY, THEY VENTURED – TO THE PEBBLED ICE – QUITE FERVENTLY. A SIGHT TO BE SEEN AS THEIR BODIES CROUCHED DOWN AND PUSHED FROM THE HACK WITH NEVER A FROWN. THE SLIDER BECAME A PART OF THEIR SHOES, AND HOPEFULLY MEANT THAT THEIR BALANCE THEY WOULDN’T LOSE. ALL POISED FOR DELIVERY OF THE FAMOUS ‘ROCK’, AWAITING THE SKIP’S INSTRUCTION – THEY SLOWLY RELEASED THE HANDLE AND HOPED FOR IT’S PERFECT DIRECTION. AS THE ROCK MADE IT’S WAY ON IT’S ‘HEAVY’ OR ‘LIGHT’ JOURNEY – THE ‘LEAD’ TRIED DESPERATELY TO REMEMBER ALL THE LEARNING, BUT THE TERMS OF THIS SPORT ARE SECOND TO NONE AND PROVE TO BE COMPLEX TO MOST EVERYONE.... AN IN-TURN...AN OUT-TURN...NO HANDLE...A PICK...THE HOG LINE...THE T-LINE...THE BACK LINE...AND BUTTON A TAKE-OUT...A GUARD...A ‘BITER’...’JUST A DRAW’...OR...’ANYWHERE IN THE HOUSE’ WOULD BE THE INSTRUCTION. NOW ON TO THE ‘SWEEPING’ WITH A BROOM OR A BRUSH – STRONG MUSCLES ARE NEEDED TO SWEEP WITH PERFECTION TO ENSURE THE ROCK REACHES IT’S CORRECT DESTINATION. AS ‘GREENS’ WE ARE TAUGHT TO FOLLOW SKIP’S ORDERS – BUT THIS CAN BE A CAUSE FOR UTTER CONFUSION..... SWEEP, SWEEP, SWEEP...HARD, HURRY HARD...HURRY, HURRY, HURRY... ALL THE WAY...DON’T BE SHORT. WHOA...JUST FOR WEIGHT...JUST FOR LINE...NO, NO, NO .... (PAUSE)....OK...BRING IT IN. AND THE HARDEST OF ALL TO COMPREHEND – WHILE SWEEPING WITH GUSTO FROM END TO END... NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER...(LONG PAUSE)........SWEEP, SWEEP.....HARD AS YOU CAN.....SWEEP !!! WITH WINTER NOW OVER WE HAVE ALL SURVIVED...IN FACT TO BE HONEST WE REALLY HAVE THRIVED. SO WITH THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND ADVICE...WE’LL SEE YOU NEXT FALL....BACK ON THE ICE. JACQUIE CHATTERSON APRIL 2011 4 Father’s Day ………… June 19th, 2011 When my father passed away we had a memorial service for him.

  • 2021 RI Dragon Boat Press Release
    May 7, 2021 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: James Toomey, Director of Marketing [email protected] 401-724-2200 Rhode Island Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival delayed until 2022 Pawtucket, RI - The annual cultural festival that takes place at Festival Pier along the Pawtucket River will need to be postponed until next year. The tough decision to not stage this popular event was made by festival organizers to ensure the safety of everyone involved. Though things are opening up, the RI Chinese Dragon Boat Races & Taiwan Day Festival is confined to Festival Pier along the waterfront. To provide the exciting event fans have come accustomed to, there is virtually no room to allow for adequate spacing of the dozens of teams that come from around the Northeast and thousands of spectators. “‘Safety first’ is our guidance while enjoying the rivers of Rhode Island” states Blackstone Valley Tourism Council President, Bob Billington. “With COVID-19 still a factor we need to stay extra vigilant.” Pawtucket Mayor, Donald R. Grebien comments, “while it is very unfortunate that the event has been postponed to next year, I thank the Blackstone Valley Tourism Council and the festival organizers for prioritizing the safety of our community.” The unique style of this race’s boats also created a challenge as the sheer size of these 50 ft and 30 ft vessels make it extremely difficult to move and maneuver with a reduced number of paddlers, which is recommended per dragon boat race guidance. Matt Robert, race official and owner of 22Dragons says, “the dragon boats used at the races in Pawtucket are just too big to move properly with the amount of paddlers when considering all current COVID-19 requirements.

  • British Canoe Union Press Release
    BRITISH CANOE UNION PRESS RELEASE 2nd October, 2006 The BCU highlights the flaws in the Environment Agencies report into rivers access - Putting pilot voluntary canoe access agreements in place On the 3rd October the Environment Agency will be publishing their report Putting pilot voluntary canoe access agreements in place . The work was carried out by the University of Brighton but commissioned by the Environment Agency (EA). The British Canoe Union (BCU) has raised grave concerns over the piece of work and the manner in which it was undertaken. This announcement highlights the dire lack of public access to rivers in England and Wales, unlike Scotland where there is a right. NB Access to and along water was omitted from the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000) that gives public access to land areas. The BCU unsuccessfully lobbied for access to water to be included in the Act and pressed for further government action. England and Wales are unique with 41,000 miles of inland waterways with no public access; whereas in Scotland and other countries there is public access to inland waters. The purpose of the study On behalf of DEFRA the EA asked Brighton University to test and demonstrate the processes involved in negotiating voluntary agreements and to secure voluntary canoe access agreements on four rivers in England (Mersey, Teme, Waveney and Wear). These rivers had featured in an earlier feasibility study carried out by the Countryside Agency. The study concluded that additional access to rivers could be provided through voluntary arrangements, but that more advice and guidance was needed.

Introduction: The report aimed to critically appraise the policy response to the pressure for recreational access to inland waters, notably canoeing access for rivers in England and Wales. The report is divided into three primary sections; (1) historical background and development of the policy response (2) an evaluation of factors influencing the policy response i.e. lobbying groups, government agendas (3) an assessment of the effectiveness of the current policy response, including case studies of the River Wear and River Wye. As the report demonstrates the river access debate is a multifaceted and complex issue that is struggling to find an overarching solution. 2. The Current Situation: Navigation rights are established on tidal waters and approximately 6% of the major and minor canal and river network (Brighton 1, 2001).

  • Dragon Boat Paddling Tips Dragon Boating Is a Full-Body Workout
    Lake Champlain Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Paddling Tips Dragon boating is a full-body workout. By no means are you just sitting up straight and paddling with your arms. There are six key parts to the dragon boat stroke. When done properly, the boat flies. When executed improperly, the boat feels sluggish and heavy. The six components are called: rotation, extension, catch, pull, exit, and recovery. ROTATION OR TWIST: Plant your feet against the strut in the boat so that you can engage your legs. Engage your core muscles as you twist to turn your chest toward your partner. As you rotate, your outside hip moves forward and your back turns toward the shore. This twist allows for maximum reach. EXTENSION OR REACH: This position in the stroke is crucial to maximize the length of the stroke. The position of the outside paddling arm is equivalent to pulling a bow and arrow. The outside shoulder should be dropped slightly while extending forward. Your torso bends forward for additional extension. The upper arm should rise up to about your ear. The lower arm is fully extended and is almost locked at the elbow. The paddle should be a few inches above the water before driving it into the water. CATCH: The catch phase is the most critical to the speed of the boat. The catch is the moment the paddle blade first hits the water. The top hand is held over the water. It then presses down on the paddle while the outside arm is relaxed and fully extended. PULL: But not with your arms! Once the paddle is fully submerged or "buried,” the next part of the stroke is the pull phase.

My “vote” is to ban all boat traffic, commercial or otherwise, from the river. From my standpoint, it is disgusting to see a plastic object like a kayak violating the natural beauty of this rare stream. So, I am against any further degradation of this wild area from an expansion of the stretches where paddling is permitted. Thanks for the opportunity to have my say.
