    ' Spring 1992 S1.50. ,• • .. • • • • Keys/one State's OfficialBoating Magiene • Viewpoint On December 12, 1992, House Bill 1107 was signed into law. Boat registration fees were increased for the first time in nearly 30 years and the name of the Commission was changed to the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. By changing the name of the Commission to the Fish and Boat Commission, the Legislature recognized the importance of boating to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Whether you fish, water ski or cruise, your boat has become an important part of your recreational experience. Each year over 2.5 million people go boating. Only swimming, hiking, biking and fishing had greater participation levels. In 1963, the year the Commission was officially given authority over the Pennsyl- vania boating program, only 78,000 boats were registered. Since then, boating has grown steadily. Today over 302,000 boats bear Pennsylvania registrations. To accommodate this growth, additional launching facilities had to be provided. New laws and regulations had to be written. Methods to provide additional law enforce- ment had to be found to maintain control over the use of the water. Boating safety education programs had to be developed so that the great number of people new to boating could learn the rules of safety and courtesy. During the development years of the boating program, expansion of the registra- tion base and additional revenue sources, such as the return of the tax paid on fuel used in boats, Projects 500 and 70, Federal Aid for Fish Restoration and the U. S. Coast Guard boating safety assistance programs, all helped defray the costs associ- ated with the increased services.

  • The California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 As Amended
    the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as amended U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management Desert District Riverside, California the California Desert CONSERVATION AREA PLAN 1980 as Amended IN REPLY REFER TO United States Department of the Interior BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT STATE OFFICE Federal Office Building 2800 Cottage Way Sacramento, California 95825 Dear Reader: Thank you.You and many other interested citizens like you have made this California Desert Conservation Area Plan. It was conceived of your interests and concerns, born into law through your elected representatives, molded by your direct personal involvement, matured and refined through public conflict, interaction, and compromise, and completed as a result of your review, comment and advice. It is a good plan. You have reason to be proud. Perhaps, as individuals, we may say, “This is not exactly the plan I would like,” but together we can say, “This is a plan we can agree on, it is fair, and it is possible.” This is the most important part of all, because this Plan is only a beginning. A plan is a piece of paper-what counts is what happens on the ground. The California Desert Plan encompasses a tremendous area and many different resources and uses. The decisions in the Plan are major and important, but they are only general guides to site—specific actions. The job ahead of us now involves three tasks: —Site-specific plans, such as grazing allotment management plans or vehicle route designation; —On-the-ground actions, such as granting mineral leases, developing water sources for wildlife, building fences for livestock pastures or for protecting petroglyphs; and —Keeping people informed of and involved in putting the Plan to work on the ground, and in changing the Plan to meet future needs.

  • Wind-Powered Vehicle
    Wind -powered vehicle - Wikipedia Page 1 of 4 Wind-powered vehicle Wind-powered vehicles derive their power from sails, kites or rotors and ride on wheels—which may be linked to a wind-powered rotor—or runners. Whether powered by sail, kite or rotor, these vehicles share a common trait: As the vehicle increases in speed, the advancing airfoil encounters an increasing apparent wind at an angle of attack that is increasingly smaller. At the same time, such vehicles are subject to relatively low forward resistance, compared with traditional sailing craft. As a result, such vehicles are often capable of speeds exceeding that of the wind. Rotor-powered examples have demonstrated ground speeds that exceed that of the wind, both directly into the wind and directly downwind by transferring power through a drive train between the rotor and the wheels. The wind-powered speed record is by a vehicle with a sail on it, Greenbird , with a recorded top speed of 202.9 kilometres per hour (126.1 mph). Other wind-powered conveyances include sailing vessels that travel on water, and balloons and sailplanes that travel in the air, all of which are beyond the scope of this article.
