Keith Liles, Dagger technical representative and Team D member (sponsored paddler who won the '97 Ocoee Rodeo) will present a slide show on boat building on Thursday, August 20, at 7:30 p.m. at the Garden Hills Community Center. We'll get an inside view of the Dagger factory, learning how they use computer models to help design boats, the process for building and testing a prototype, and creation of the final product. This is not an advertisement for Dagger — it's a really great opportunity to learn how today's boats are built. Unless you tour the factory, you won't get a better view of recreational boat building. What's Inside... To find the Garden Hills Community Center: From Peachtree Street, go east on East Wesley Road (8/10 mile south of the intersection of Peachtree and Roswell Road).

Podolak Multifunctional Riverscapes
Multifunctional Riverscapes: Stream restoration, Capability Brown’s water features, and artificial whitewater By Kristen Nicole Podolak A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Professor Louise Mozingo Professor Vincent H. Resh Spring 2012 i Abstract Multifunctional Riverscapes by Kristen Nicole Podolak Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor G. Mathias Kondolf, Chair Society is investing in river restoration and urban river revitalization as a solution for sustainable development. Many of these river projects adopt a multifunctional planning and design approach that strives to meld ecological, aesthetic, and recreational functions. However our understanding of how to accomplish multifunctionality and how the different functions work together is incomplete. Numerous ecologically justified river restoration projects may actually be driven by aesthetic and recreational preferences that are largely unexamined. At the same time river projects originally designed for aesthetics or recreation are now attempting to integrate habitat and environmental considerations to make the rivers more sustainable. Through in-depth study of a variety of constructed river landscapes - including dense historical river bend designs, artificial whitewater, and urban stream restoration this dissertation analyzes how aesthetic, ecological, and recreational functions intersect and potentially conflict. To explore how aesthetic and biophysical processes work together in riverscapes, I explored the relationship between one ideal of beauty, an s-curve illustrated by William Hogarth in the 18th century and two sets of river designs: 18th century river designs in England and late 20th century river restoration designs in North America. -

A Step by Step Guide to Learning Re-Entry and Roll
Supplement to The Chesapeake Paddler A Step by Step Guide to Learning Re-entry and Roll By Vince Dalrymple, Photography by Brian Blankinship May 2009 The conditions worsen and an unexpected situation unfolds for an experienced solo paddler with proficient rolling skills, leaving or forcing the paddler out of their boat with no help available. What to do? The fastest way to get back into one’s boat, get upright, and under way again is the Re-entry and Roll. It is completely self reliant, a must if one is paddling solo or is separated from other pad- dlers, and works better than a Paddle Float Rescue in breaking sea conditions. Re-entry and Roll (R&R ) is a self rescue method in which the paddler gets back into their kayak while capsized, and then rolls the kayak upright. I first note the prerequisites to learning the R&R, then explain the steps to learn this potentially life saving maneuver. Please read through to the end of the article before attempting anything. DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME—Go to the pool or your favorite Piracy rolling hole. Equipment and Conditions—Make sure your kayak has sealed bulkheads or fully inflated airbags to give it proper buoyancy when flooded. Your kayak should be well fitted to your contact points: feet, knees, hips, and seat. Dress for the water temperature (at least 20 minutes of comfortable immersion). Wear a properly fitting PFD. Make sure the area you are practicing in is safe: sheltered flat water, deep enough to roll, and clear of any hazards above, at, and below the water’s surface.
