  • Serving Handicapped Visitors
    U.S. Department of the Interior National Park Service and GRIST National Recreation May/June 1982 and Park Association Volume 26/Number 3 Serving Handicapped Visitors Helping to provide safe and en­ joyable experiences to handicapped persons at beaches is an important step in mainstreaming the disabled in our society. One method of pro­ viding these experiences is to train lifeguards in the supervision and rescue of handicapped swimmers. Richard D. Baker, chief lifeguard at Assateague Island National Seashore (MD-VA) suggests establishing such a lifeguard train­ ing program and he refers us to the American Red Cross publication Adapted Aquatics as a training text. Baker also recommends publi­ cizing the lifeguard services and recreation program accessibility so that this information is available to all. He suggests publishing a brochure as part of Assateague Island's water safety recreation use program which highlights this information. The brochure would state. "All lifeguards receive training in first aid, CPR, lifesaving and beach supervision. They are also trained to supervise main- streamed handicapped visitors and to handle them in emergencies. "Groups with members who share characteristics that are special problems in aquatic recreation may want to use the protected beach and integrate their group with the general public. Group leaders should consult with a supervisory lifeguard concerning group characteristics such as non- swimmers, poor swimmers, or disabilities, before letting their group go into the water. (continued on p. 19) 17 Safety Grist Increasing Vehicle Stairway Safety A publication of the Park Practice Program Visibility The Park Practice Program is a cooperative effort of Doyal Glenn Jackson, maintenance the National Park Service and the National Recreation work leader at the Ozark National and Park Association.

ANALYSIS OF STREAM RUNOFF TRENDS IN THE BLUE RIDGE AND PIEDMONT OF SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES by USHA KHAREL Under the Direction of Seth Rose ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to examine the temporal trends of three monthly variables: stream runoff, rainfall and air temperature and to find out if any correlation exists between rainfall and stream runoff in the Blue Ridge and Piedmont provinces of the southeast United States. Trend significance was determined using the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test on a monthly and annual basis. GIS analysis was used to find and integrate the urban and non-urban stream gauging, rainfall and temperature stations in the study area. The Mann-Kendall test showed a statistically insignificant temporal trend for all three variables. The correlation of 0.4 was observed for runoff and rainfall, which showed that these two parameters are moderately correlated.

  • Alice in Southwest Virginia: a Financial Hardship Study
    ALICE IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA: A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP STUDY 2020 SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA REPORT United Way of Southwest Virginia ALICE IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 The release of this ALICE Report for Southwest Virginia comes during an unprecedented crisis — the COVID-19 pandemic. While our world changed significantly in March 2020 with the impact of this global, dual health and economic crisis, ALICE remains central to the story in every U.S. county and state. The pandemic has exposed exactly the issues of economic fragility and widespread hardship that United For ALICE and the ALICE data work to reveal. That exposure makes the ALICE data and analysis more important than ever. The ALICE Report for Southwest Virginia presents the latest ALICE data available — a point-in-time snapshot of economic conditions across the region in 2018. By showing how many Southwest Virginia households were struggling then, the ALICE Research provides the backstory for why the COVID-19 crisis is having such a devastating economic impact. The ALICE data is especially important now to help stakeholders identify the most vulnerable in their communities and direct programming and resources to assist them throughout the pandemic and the recovery that follows. And as Southwest Virginia moves forward, this data can be used to estimate the impact of the crisis over time, providing an important baseline for changes to come. This crisis is fast-moving and quickly evolving. To stay abreast of the impact of COVID-19 on ALICE households and their communities, visit our website at UnitedForALICE.org/COVID19 for updates. ALICE REPORT, JULY 2020 1 SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA ALICE IN SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA INTRODUCTION In 2018, 115,460 households in Southwest Virginia — 51% — could not afford basic needs such as housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology.

Secretary Hicks-Thomas then led a discussion regarding an e-mail sent to the Executive Board from Commission Member Mary Abelsmith. Regarding the concerns of the e-mail, the Executive Board resolved that they had already received a concrete timeline on the project as submitted by the artist, that the current funds raised are being held by the Capitol Foundation and that Alice Lynch will talk more about current fundraising efforts at the next meeting of the Full Commission. Members of the Executive Board then held a brief discussion about potential names for the Monument that had not previously been submitted. Susan Schaar brought up the potential to have a female athlete as a figure on the Monument. Ms. Schaar also discussed the major role women have played in the conservation of Virginia and suggested the name Elisabeth Scott Bocock. Em Bowles Alsop also suggested the Gibson girl and Mary Wells Ashworth. Alice Lynch questioned if Lottie Moon should be reconsidered. A suggestion from the audience of Pat Perkinson, the first female Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, was made. An audience member also suggested Henrietta Lacks. The Board then discussed the information provided to them by Dr. Treadway on the list of names they had previously chosen.

  • The Origins of Camp Louise in the Settlement House Movement of Baltimore’S Jewish Community
    1 “Fresh Air and Cheer”: The Origins of Camp Louise in the Settlement House Movement of Baltimore’s Jewish Community by Barry Kessler One day in 1921, three Baltimoreans set out to visit a potential site for a summer retreat that would serve the city’s immigrant Jewish women. Ida Sharogrodsky, a social worker, and Lillie Straus, a philanthropist, had pleaded with Lillie’s husband, Aaron, one of Baltimore’s wealthiest merchants, to consider purchasing an old hotel in the Catoctin Mountains which they envisioned as an extension of the social service work they were doing in East Baltimore. Midway on the seventy‐mile trip, Aaron Straus seized on the pretext of a storm to turn back, but the ladies were undeterred, and once they arrived, the enchanting view of forested hills and fertile valleys overcame his reluctance. 1 The story of the three founders’ trip has served as the origin myth of Camp Louise, which matured from a vacation spot for working women to a traditional Jewish girls’ summer camp and is still operating almost a hundred years later. It’s a charming tale, retold over generations by camp alumnae and counselors, staff and community leaders. But the actual history of how Camp Louise emerged from Baltimore’s Progressive era efforts to aid, acculturate, and assimilate immigrants is more complex and in many ways more interesting. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Baltimore faced the twin pressures of industrialization and immigration, which gave rise to enormous challenges as well as critical opportunities for the city, and for its Jewish community in particular.

This is your copy of the annual Let's Go Camping Guide. The National Capital Area Council Order of the Arrow Amangamek-Wipit Lodge updates this guide annually. This guide is intended to support the unit camping program by providing leaders with a directory of nearby campgrounds. The guide is organized into three sections. Section I lists public campgrounds in Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Section II covers campgrounds administered by the Boy Scouts of America in Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. Section III provides a place for leaders to record their favorite campgrounds for future reference. Many people have provided listings to this year's edition of the guide and we are grateful to all who have contributed. However, this guide is far from a complete listing of the camping resources available to NCAC units. If you would like to add a listing or if you discover a listing in need of correction please contact Philip Caridi at your convenience at [email protected]. Together we can make next year's guide even more useful.
