Re- turning in September, the squad was ea- ger to take advantage of the remaining summer heat. A week at the National Rowing Centre in Cork proved the ideal start to a year of rowing which has seen a lot of progress and some success on the water, despite a few setbacks. Repeating the recruitment success of Freshers’ week 2008 was a challenge, but the large numbers of new oarsmen who came out to Islandbridge for the annual Freshers’ open Saturday proved that our e#orts had paid o#.

  • LWCF) Has Been Our Nation’S Most Successful Conservation and Recreation Program for 52 Years, and Yet Congress Allowed It to Expire on September 30
    December 20, 2018 Dear Senators and Members of Congress, The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has been our nation’s most successful conservation and recreation program for 52 years, and yet Congress allowed it to expire on September 30. LWCF has invested funds in every state and nearly every county of the U.S. – creating opportunities for Americans to play outside at their local playgrounds and ballfields, visit iconic landscapes at our national parks, national forests and wildlife refuges, and experience America at historic and cultural sites. Failing to reauthorize and fully fund LWCF would break the long-standing promise to the American people to invest a small portion of revenues from offshore energy development in lasting natural infrastructure: our land, outdoor recreation economy, access to hunting and angling opportunities, water resources, and the history and culture of our great nation. To prevent the loss of this critical program, and truly fulfill the promise of all of its diverse funding tools, we urge you to support permanent reauthorization and full, dedicated funding of LWCF. LWCF is our country’s most important conservation program, supporting local economies, providing infrastructure for public health, tourism and recreation, and increasing access to the outdoors in all states and territories. It is paid for with non-taxpayer dollars. More than 50 years ago, Congress made a commitment to the American public that a small portion of revenues from offshore drilling in the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) would go to natural resource conservation and outdoor recreation programs, as an offset for the depletion of the offshore oil and gas resources that belong to us all.

Scott Nishimoto Vice Chair Rep. Joy San Buenaventura and Members of the Judiciary Committee Submitted By: Stephanie Kendrick, Public Policy Advocate Hawaiian Humane Society, 808-356-2217 RE: Testimony in support of HB2072, HDl: Relating to HRS 711-1109 Thursday, Feb. 22, 2018, 2 p.m., Capitol room 325 The Hawaiian Humane Society supports the passage of House Bill 2072, which would prohibit the use of specific tethering equipment and techniques that are injurious to dogs. However, we oppose the proposed amendments reducing the penalties for a tethering violation. We understand the intent of the penalty change is to compel compliance with the new law without imposing a misdemeanor charge. But as the animal service provider for Oahu, we can attest that our humane investigators already use education when possible to modify behavior. Citations are issued and charges are brought only if attempts at education have failed to change illegal behavior and there is documented evidence of harm to one or more animals. In recent years the Legislature has strengthened animal cruelty penalties to recognize the serious nature of these crimes. These amendments would erode those efforts. We do agree that psychological counseling (page 5, line 13 through page6, line 3) may be a useful tool for rehabilitating animal cruelty offenders. We would support the addition of that option to the existing sentencing guidelines for all animal cruelty cases.
