State of Rhode Island General Assembly 2004 -- H 8714 ======= LC03820 ======= STATE OF RHODE ISLAND IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY JANUARY SESSION, A.D. 2004 ____________ A N A C T RELATING TO THE COMP OSITION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Introduced By: Representative Gordon D. Fox Date Introduced: July 30, 2004 Referred To: House read and passed It is enacted by the General Assembly as follows: 1 SECTION 1. Section 22-2-2 of the General Laws in Chapter 22-2 entitled "Composition 2 of House of Representatives" is hereby amended to read as follows: 3 22-2-2. Districts. -- [Note: This section is set out as it appears in P.L. 2002, ch. 4. 4 However, the director of law revision of the joint committee on legislative services anticipates 5 several substantive changes that will require further legislative action. Section 22-11-3.4 6 precludes the presentation of these expected changes, as such action would exceed the authority 7 granted.]The state is hereby divided into seventy-five (75) representative districts bounded and 8 described as follows: 9 (1) It is understood and intended that for the purpose of this section a line described as 10 running on, along, to or through any street (including road, avenue, lane, way, parkway, 11 expressway, divided Highway, state route or interstate route, or trail), stream or river, is intended 12 to mean the centerline of that street, stream or river, in all instances, unless the same shall be 13 otherwise specified. 14 (2) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the districts 15 described in this section shall be composed of United States census geography (tracts and blocks), 16 as defined by the 2000 version of the "TIGER" files from the United States Census Bureau, 17 whose boundaries correspond to the below metes and bounds set forth in this section and hereby 18 made a part of this chapter. A listing of which census blocks are contained within each district 19 shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference. 1 (3) (i) It is further understood and intended that for the purpose of this section, the 2 districts will be depicted on thirty-nine (39) maps, compiled by Election Data Services, Inc. for 3 each city and town, and hereinafter may be referred to as town maps. 4 (ii) The secretary of state shall keep a copy of each set of the foregoing maps and a copy 5 of the census tract and block listing available for inspection during ordinary business hours at his 6 or her office. The secretary of state shall furnish each city and town a copy of the town map 7 covering that particular city or town within ten (10) days from the date of passage of this act 8 [February 20, 2002]. 9 (iii) For purposes of this title, references to "tract" or "CT" shall mean "census tract", as 10 that demographic unit is established by the United States Bureau of the Census for the 2000 11 census as described by maps and publications of the bureau. References to "block", "blocks", 12 "block groups", "enumeration district", or "enumeration districts", refer to those demographic 13 units as established by the United States Census Bureau for the 2000 census as described by maps 14 and publications of the bureau. 15 (iv) Any reference to a "city or town", "city or town boundaries", or "city or town limits" 16 shall refer to the boundaries or limits of the particular city or town as they existed on January 1, 17 2000. 18 (v) In the census tract and block listing, the first two (2) digits of a census description 19 shall refer to the state of Rhode Island (44), the next three (3) digits of a census description shall 20 refer to the county in which the district lies. Bristol county carries the code 001; Kent county 21 carries the code 003; Newport county carries the code 005; Providence county carries the code 22 007 and Washington county carries the code 009. The next six (6) digits refer to the census tract 23 within the county set forth in the description. The last four (4) digits refer to the census block 24 within the census tract. "TIGER" is an acronym for the computer readable geographic data base 25 that automates the mapping and related geographic activities required to support the United 26 States' Census Bureau's census and survey programs and stands for "Topologically Integrated 27 Geographic Encoding and Referencing." 28 (vi) If any census tract, block, block group, or enumeration district is omitted, listed 29 more than once, or is only partially provided for, it is intended that the districts be defined in such 30 a manner as to not omit any area of Rhode Island from a district and to comply with the standard 31 of Articles VII and VIII of the Rhode Island Constitution requiring that districts be reasonably 32 equal. In order to carry out the intent of the general assembly as expressed in this section the 33 secretary of state, shall if necessary, undertake measures to insure compliance with this section. 34 (vii) In the event of a discrepancy between the metes and bounds description, the 2 1 description by census tracts and blocks, and the maps which shall be on file with the secretary of 2 state, then the listing of census tracts and blocks shall take precedence and be controlling. 3 First District: The first representative district shall consist of all of that part of the city of 4 Providence bounded by a line beginning at the intersection of Huxley Avenue and Admiral Street;

  • Quahog Cup 2021 SOL Race 1451 the Race Was a 35 Mile Sprint in Narragansett Bay, Starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20Th Starting and Finishing in Newport Harbor
    Quahog Cup 2021 SOL race 1451 The race was a 35 mile sprint in Narragansett Bay, starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20th starting and finishing in Newport Harbor. The course is shown on a NOAA chart on the next page. My track is missing from the initial part. I had planned the first, downwind part of the course up to the Rumstick Rock mark based on the 10:30 forecast. The wind was light, around 9 knots from the South West, initially a little weaker and increasing towards the end. The first leg was obviously a straight broad reach from the start to the first mark Rose Island. As the name suggests, it is actually an island, although that does not show up even on the high resolution SOL map. Below is a picture of it looking eastwards towards Newport. The three conspicuous masts behind the Island belong to the Maltese Falcon. The picture was taken in 2011 during my second visit to Newport. From there it was a run northward. I had noticed that there was a slight wind speed gradient with more speed on the Rhode Island side in the East and a little less on the Connanicut Island side to the West. With the help of the AGL tool I found out that it was possible to closely follow the Rhode Is- land shore and pass East of Coasters Harbor Island without taking a lager risk. It was not necessary to gybe immediately at the Rose Island mark nor in close proximity to the coast, and without deviat- ing a lot from the downwind target angles.
