Championship Regatta Jeff Merrill Photos Ith All of the July Heat It Was Nice to Be Forced Into the Water, That’S What You Have to Do in Pineblock Racing August 2014 Official Publication of Alamitos Bay Yacht Club Volume 87 • Number 8 pine blockchampionship regatta Jeff Merrill photos ith all of the July heat it was nice to be forced into the water, that’s what you have to do in Pineblock racing. It was an interesting WSunday afternoon – lightning out at sea, 90 degree plus temperatures ashore and a fickle breeze. The tide was out (preordained) and we all had to wade our turn to race in one of the most casual and liberating forms of sail boat racing available. With only 55 Pineblocks in existence (this is a worldwide number and goes back decades) it was pretty impressive to have over 20 of these sleek craft show up to race. A big thank you to ABYC’s Roberto for helping us erect our tent and stake a claim to some of the Peninsula sand for PB12 racers of all ages to hang out and have some fun. Mr. Pineblock himself, the designer and inspiration, Bob Chubb arrived on the scene and all was well in the PB world. Dressed in long pants and wearing shoes, Bob told me he wasn’t racing this year, which I accepted, after all he has never missed one, so he was due. Speaking of dues, Richard and Kelly Moffett- Higgins collected the meager $12 entry fee for annual dues and full race participation to help the fleet hopefully break even. (It’s not too late to pay your 2014 dues!) As racers arrived a few of us set up the course and practiced. In my three previous PB Championships we have always raced onJeff port Merrill tack photo and paralleled the beach, but the breeze reinvented itself this year and we had to scratch our heads. Those of us doing practice races quickly (well reasonably quickly) realized that it was going to work a lot better sailing on starboard tack … better, but we still had very spotty, soft wind. The event opened with theWomen’s championship – eight entries – and a new rule was established (made up on the spot in the finest Pineblock tradition) that you could “correct” your boat after the start, but only one time per race. 10 seconds into the first of three races the rule was changed again to multiple “corrections”, but you couldn’t pick up your boat and walk it across the finish line. After three races Sue McDannel made it close, just behind our current leader of the free world, Commodore Jennifer Kuritz, who took the honors and was crowned the queen of the fleet. No juniors were present so we went to the grand masters. What? No grand masters?

Andre began his career as a classically trained French chef and branched out into restaurant I management, event management and most recently food service for a senior housing complex in Santa Barbara. I hope you’ll take a moment to stop by the club to introduce yourself! Andre will be staying late on some Fridays to meet members during Happy Hour. I want to thank Nicole Peoples for her dedicated service as interim club manager. Under Nicole’s leadership the club has blossomed and there have been many improvements. I’d also like to thank our club staff for stepping up to help Nicole during the busy Spring and Summer sailing seasons. As you all know, there never seems to be a dull moment at ABYC. A few days prior to the Fourth of July Regatta, Rick Rose noticed smoke coming out of the ground in the yard between the Quarter Deck and Big Hoist. He quickly went and turned the power off which prevented further damage (good thinking Rick!). Apparently, during construction of our new basin and docks, a trench was dug for the new dock sewage system and fire suppression system. Well a back hoe nicked our 220 power line. It was repaired at time, but apparently the repair was not water proof. During the extremely high tides, water got into the power system and melted the line. Fortunately, the City ran a new power line for us at no cost as it was their error. The repair of the hoists was an additional two day project. Transformers were replaced in the ground and on both the Big and Small hoists. The lack of hoists made for a small but very nice Fourth of July Regatta. Martyn Bookwalter created a block and tackle system (made from his mainsheet system) that had enough leverage to hoist Lidos and Snipes into the water by hand but the Vipers, Tempests and Cal 20s were unable to sail. We were very pleased to see the Snipe fleet back at the club. Thank you to Theresa Cornwell, regatta chair, and the Laser fleet. This was Theresa’s first time as regatta chair and she did an excellent job. Many thanks to our PROs Martyn Bookwalter and Marc Schryer for a great job on the water. On the upper deck, our new table tops have arrived. Additionally, another dozen of the refinished chairs came back so I spent the Fourth of July Regatta installing name plates and helping Cole, Rick and Dave Myers install the table tops. We should have the name plates installed on the tables by the end of July. Skipping back, Long Beach Race Week was a fantastic regatta. Our members really showed their race management skills on the Alpha and Charlie racecourses (several of our members were helping on Bravo course, too). The Friday night party at ABYC was HUGE. The entire patio and grass area were completely full. Naples Rib Joint (a sponsor of LBRW) provided sausages and sides and Chef Rick cooked additional sausages so there was plenty of food for everyone. The “gate” committee of Sue McDannel, Betty Baumann and Trish Clay greeted sailors and created beautiful streamers that were hung off the flag pole all weekend. Many thanks to all the volunteers and committee members Mark Townsend, Mike Baumann, Jon Kathy Robinson photo Robinson. Many thanks to Robin Townsend for staffing the event and for working with Gelsons who provided our volunteer sandwiches. And, a huge THANK YOU to our port captains Kevin Brown and Dave Myers for the hours of preparation on the race management equipment and to my husband, Steve, for being PRO on Charlie course. Did you know that ABYC won the Yacht Club Challenge? Congratulations to TEAM ABYC. Not only did we win bragging rights for the next year, but we won a $500 donation from Pirates Lair for our Junior Program. Team ABYC was our Catalina 37 crew lead by Vice Commodore Chuck Clay, Kevin Taugher’s Viper team on Hot Mess and Robert Marcus’s team on Code Blue. The Firemen’s Fund Raiser and Fireworks was a wonderful evening. (It’s really nice to go to the club and not worry about an event — so Steve and I were able to relax and have fun.) We started the evening with cocktails with the McDannel’s ...continued next page sou’wester • august 2014 • page 2 morecommodore Jennifer Kuritz photos ...from page 2 on their boat – the perfect viewing spot. And, then worked our way around the basin to the patio. Channel 2 news showed up to film the fireworks! Fun band, nice food and good company – what a great evening. The weekend of July 19, we had hoists and we had the Multihull Regatta. Another small but very nice regatta. We had two multihull classes F-18 and Hobie 16. On Saturday, the Etchells fleet joined the regatta for their fleet races. Regatta Chair Paul Anctil put together a great team of Sr. Sabot and Junior volunteers. Saturday night, we have appetizers and beer on the patio. Congratulations to Jeffrey Newsome and Michelle Eatough for winning the Hobie 16 class and the Area J Multihull perpetual.

  • De/Colonizing Preservice Teacher Education: Theatre of the Academic Absurd
    Volume 10 Number 1 Spring 2014 Editor Stephanie Anne Shelton http://jolle.coe.uga.edu De/colonizing Preservice Teacher Education: Theatre of the Academic Absurd Dénommé-Welch, Spy, [email protected] University of Regina, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada Montero, M. Kristiina, [email protected] Wilfrid Laurier University, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada Abstract Where does the work of de/colonizing preservice teacher education begin? Aboriginal children‘s literature? Storytelling and theatrical performance? Or, with a paradigm shift? This article takes up some of these questions and challenges, old and new, and begins to problematize these deeper layers. In this article, the authors explore the conversations and counterpoints that came about looking at the theme of social justice through the lens of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit (FNMI) children‘s literature. As the scope of this lens widened, it became more evident to the authors that there are several filters that can be applied to the work of de/colonizing preservice teacher education programs and the larger educational system. This article also explores what it means to act and perform notions of de/colonization, and is constructed like a script, thus bridging the voices of academia, theatre, and Indigenous knowledge. In the first half (the academic script) the authors work through the messy and tangled web of de/colonization, while the second half (the actors‘ script) examines these frameworks and narratives through the actor‘s voice. The article calls into question the notions of performing inquiry and deconstructing narrative. Key words: decolonizing education; Indigenizing the academy; preservice teacher education; performing decolonization; decolonizing narrative; Indigenous knowledge; First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples of Canada; North America.

  • Issues of Validity, Subjectivity, and Reflexivity in Multimodal Literacy Research and Analysis
    Journal of Language and Literacy Education Vol. 15 Issue 1—Spring 2019 Issues of Validity, Subjectivity, and Reflexivity in Multimodal Literacy Research and Analysis David E. Low & Jessica Zacher Pandya Abstract: In this article we highlight analyses conducted in two qualitative literacy studies to discuss various implications of a blended, or hybrid, approach to multimodal analysis. By investigating several prominent frameworks commonly used together for the purpose of analyzing multimodal data, and describing our own experiences blending these frameworks, we determine& that a hybrid approach is not necessarily ineffective at producing data interpretations, but that it is insufficiently reflexive of the role researcher positionality plays in multimodal analysis. We conclude the article by offering recommendations for supplementing hybrid analytical approaches through data co-construction and increased attention to researcher positionality. Keywords: multimodality, multimodal literacies, visual analysis, data co-construction David E. Low is Assistant Professor of Literacy Education at California State University, Fresno. A former high school ELA teacher in Tucson, Arizona, David conducts research on how young people’s multimodal reading and composing practices – particularly through the medium of comics – facilitate various enactments of critical literacy. Contact him at [email protected]. Jessica Zacher Pandya is Chair of the Liberal Studies Department and Professor in the Departments of Teacher Education and Liberal Studies at California State University, Long Beach. A former San Francisco kindergarten teacher, Jessica conducts research on children's identity work in diverse urban classrooms, and more recently, ways that English learners make meaning in multiple modes as they create digital videos.

The Linstead Fleet started its spring sailing with the Annapolis Yacht Club's spring series and continued to be represented in the other Bay-area regattas throughout the rest of the season. We weren't able to take one of the first three places in the Chesapeake Bay Yacht Racing Association's high-point trophy, but we did manage to secure the fourth and fifth places. We were hosts to the opening frostbite regatta at the Severn Sailing Asso­ ciation's site in Annapolis. Despite the shifty and calm-to-moderate winds, all 13 participants enjoyed a keenly competitive 5-race series. We are again looking forward to a more active and highly successful forth­ coming year. Indian River Penguin Fleet-No. 67 The Indian River Penguin Fleet 67 has been very inactive for the past two seasons. The main reason could have been insecurity about club location. We think we have that licked with the purchase of a new up-river club location that is beautiful and perfect for Penguin races as it is in protected water (swell for frostbites).

  • The Economist As Plumber
    The Economist as Plumber Esther Duflo ∗ 23 January 2017 Abstract As economists increasingly help governments design new policies and regulations, they take on an added responsibility to engage with the details of policy making and, in doing so, to adopt the mindset of a plumber. Plumbers try to predict as well as possible what may work in the real world, mindful that tinkering and adjusting will be necessary since our models gives us very little theoretical guidance on what (and how) details will matter. This essay argues that economists should seriously engage with plumbing, in the interest of both society and our discipline. Economists are increasingly getting the opportunity to help governments around the world design new policies and regulations. This gives them a responsibility to get the big picture, or the broad design, right. But in addition, as these designs actually get implemented in the world, this gives them the responsibility to focus on many details about which their models and theories do not give much guidance. There are two reasons for this need to attend to details. First, it turns out that policy makers rarely have the time or inclination to focus on them, and will tend to decide on how to address them based on hunches, without much regard for evidence. Figuring all of this out is therefore not something that economists can just leave to policy makers after delivering their report: if they are taking on the challenge to influence the real world, not only do they need to give general prescriptions, they must engage with the details.

  • Bill Seemann – a Lifetime of Innovation
    Bill Seemann – A Lifetime of Innovation William H. Seemann was born in New Orleans October 14, 1939. His father served in WWII’s Pacific Theater and subsequently went into the lumber import business. His firm, Fine Woods Company, supplied lumber to the local boat building industry. He became the first person in the area to sell fiberglass and resin, primarily to cover wooden boats. Bill actually built some models for his dad while in high school to show customers how these “new” materials could be used. Also while in high school, Bill designed and built a small powerboat using a wooden strip mold male plug by himself. Illustrating Bill’s inquisitive nature and competitive drive even as a teenager, he borrowed an outboard engine to race against a Yellow Jacket, which had an established pedigree. He won the race, returned the engine, and never used the boat again. His success in his first powerboat race did not distract Bill form his true love, which was racing small sailboats. Starting at the age of 13, he worked for a sailmaker in the summers. He mastered racing the Penguin dinghy, starting at the age of 12. Indeed, by the time he was 14 he took second place at the Penguin Nationals in Baltimore and won the regatta the next year in California. He was hooked on the sport at an early age. Bill attended Webb Institute, as he now regrets leaving after early in his second year, and then studied engineering at Tulane University in his home town. His studies there ranged from ocean engineering to psychology.

Based on the Belgian animated cult TV series (which was released by Wallace & Gromit’s Aardman Studios), Panic stars three plastic toys named Cowboy, Indian and Horse who share a rambling house in a rural town that never fails to attract the weirdest events. Cowboy and Indian’s plan to gift Horse with a homemade barbeque backfires when they accidentally buy 50 million bricks. Whoops! This sets off a perilously wacky chain of events as the trio travel to the center of the earth, trek across frozen tundra and discover a parallel underwater universe of pointy-headed (and dishonest!) creatures. Each speedy char- acter is voiced—and animated—as if they are filled with laughing gas. With panic a permanent feature of life in this papier-mâché burg, will Horse and his equine paramour—flame-tressed music teacher Madame Longray (Jeanne Balibar)—ever find a quiet moment alone? A sort of Gallic Monty Python crossed with Art Clokey on acid, A Town Called Panic is zany, brainy and altogether insane-y! INTRODUCTION A Town Called Panic is one of the rare full-length animated films ever to secure the honor of a coveted slot in the Official Selection (in this case, Out of Competition) at Cannes.

  • Clubmember Handbook
    Rochester Canoe Club Handbook October 2012 Established in 1881 Rochester’s Oldest Sailing Club Sunfish Thistle Optimist JY-15 Important Information The Rochester Canoe Club (RCC) has a long and colorful history dating back to 1881. During that time a lot of club traditions, events, and ways of doing things have evolved. Until now that knowledge came from our constitution and by- laws or has been passed on mostly by word of mouth. This handbook is an attempt to put the information in one place, as both an aid to new members and a refresher for the “old timers”. Going forward we hope this handbook will serve as “the source” for written RCC information and we will try to keep it up to date. Special thanks go out to everyone who wrote things down over the years; a lot of that information was used to create this handbook. Please save your copy of the handbook. It contains information which generally does not change from year to year, therefore it will only be updated and re-distributed when needed. Seasonal information such as the club calendar and the listing of the club officers will continue to be published annually in the RCC Directory. The Rochester Canoe Club Board of Governors October 2012 1 Revision history: Last revision distributed to the RCC membership was November 2011 Changes since last distribution: August 6, 2000 Revised the “Brief History of RCC” section on page 1 April 14, 2010 Bylaws modified in accordance with the constitution.
