Pilot boating program charts course for future use
LOS ANGELES - Guides from the Los Angeles Conservation Corps' "Paddle the LA River" escorted a mix of project partners, politicians and journalists for the inaugural LA River tour Aug. 8.
Results from the seven week pilot program will quantify the feasibility of seasonal non-motorized boating.
"Providing safe and healthy recreation experiences to meet the needs of current and future generations is part of the Corps' Recreation Strategic Plan," said Col. Mark Toy, Los Angeles District Commander. "But I must be clear, nothing we do can jeopardize human safety or reduce the flood carrying capacity of this river."
Accompanying the group was Fernando Gomez of the Mountains Recreation and Conservation Authority. He is a law enforcement ranger and the guide supervisor for this program. His team is swift water certified and their kayaks are prepared for any emergency from band aide to defibrillator.
"We want to provide a safe environment for everyone to enjoy, something that's brand new, it's a pilot program that we want to go even further," Gomez said. "We are fortunate to be partnered with the Conservation Corps and the Army Corps of Engineers; this should be one of the things that people can enjoy... the LA River."
Weekends through Sept. 25 the LACC offers two educational trips a day down a 1.5 mile stretch of the Los Angeles River within the Sepulveda Basin. Groups are limited to 10 for each tour and there is a $50 per person fee. The minimum age is ten. Those 18 and under must be accompanied by a guardian.
Nationwide the Corps of Engineers is a major federal, water-based recreation provider, host to more than 370 million visitors annually. The Los Angeles River at Sepulveda Dam sees more than 7 million visitors annually.
"We recognize the critical role we have in balancing our responsibilities among increasing interests in recreational opportunities along this great river," added Toy. "We are proud of these facts and we continue to work diligently with our partners and stakeholders on future opportunities for recreation and revitalization along the river."
BUILDING STRONG and taking care of people!

Our students expanded their knowledge of Python by learning about lists. We started off this morning learning about basic lists but by the afternoon we were making two dimensional lists. They will use what they learned about lists to make a tic-tac-toe game. Our students are very eager to participate which has created an excellent classroom environment.

Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.
Took a day off. Was very tired. Now I'm studying Python (a great programming language) from a book that I recommend a lot: A concise introduction to programming in Python by Mak J Johnson. Look what you can do with Python - and easily! I modified a book listing - it's very easy and very short.
