I am looking forward to my second summer as Commodore and can’t wait to get things started. As always, the summer will fly by and be full of fun events. In order to pull it off, communication is key. You will be able to keep up with all the Pleon events by checking our website and weekly e-mail blasts. The Pleon calendar (www.pleon.org/page/calendar) on our website will include all upcoming regatta dates, Terrific Tuesdays, PYC events and club challenges. Behind the scenes pictures and videos are available on our Facebook page! For additional information, you can reach the clubhouse (781-631-1076), or send an email to myself at [email protected] or to Frank at [email protected]. Each year Pleon sailors return, and new sailors join in all levels of the program. My job is to ensure that there is an awesome club for every sailor to call home, and I will do everything I can to keep Pleon the special place that it is. Integral to this mission are our Instructors and Junior Instructors, who shape the culture and show younger sailors the way. This summer we are lucky to have impressive instructors from all over, as well as a great team of Junior Instructors ready to make their mark! Pleon is a one-of-a-kind place that offers sailors opportunities to explore leadership, independence and receive high quality learn to sail and racing instruction in a fun environment. Since its founding in 1887, young sailors have grown from their summers at Pleon, and we can’t wait to offer the same incredible experience for your sailor this summer. Happy Sailing! Commodore Chloe Brown 3 2018 PLEON SAILING PROGRAM PROGRAM GOALS The Pleon Sailing Program is dedicated to promoting personal growth and learning through the sport of sailing. The program strives to instill a love of both cruising and racing, which sailors will maintain throughout their lives. Combining professionalism and innovation, Pleon offers the finest instruction in junior sailing and serves as a model for programs across the country. Pleon is proud to have taught some of this country’s best sailors for over 120 years. GENERAL INFORMATION The Pleon sailing program is under the guidance of the Program Director, Frank Pizzo and Commodore, Chloe Brown. Frank, Chloe and the flag officers and staff will supervise the waterfront throughout the season, Monday through Friday from 9:00 to 5:00, and Sundays from 9:00 to 12:00 for free sail, as listed on the calendar. Pleon is a unique club that emphasizes junior sailing. Since the club’s beginning in 1887, Pleon’s flag officers and members have been sailors under the age of 21. An adult Board of Directors oversees Pleon activities and helps provide continuity and organization during the winter months. Pleon provides members with a variety of summertime activities including cookouts, movie nights, dances, Great Day, the Commodore’s Ball and a year-end banquet. Elections for flag officers are held in August for the following summer. Pleon also hosts regattas such as regional, national and international class championships, including our annual Marblehead Junior Race Week. COMMUNICATION The Pleon Yacht Club telephone number is 781-631-1076. The Pleon Yacht Club home page is www.pleon.org. Instructors will be located at the Pleon gate between the hours of 11:45– 12:00 and 4:30–4:45 to answer your questions. If you are not available at these times you can call the Program Director to schedule a telephone call or meeting with your child’s instructor. 4 Good communication among our staff, sailors and parents is important to us. Please call Christina Pandapas at 339-927-7788 if you have any questions, ideas or concerns on how to improve communication. Racing and social activities information will be updated on our web site, www.pleon.org. Weekly newsletters will be sent out via email. If you are not receiving Pleon emails, please visit the web site and sign up for the email list. EQUIPMENT Classes are taught in private and club-owned boats in the following classes: International Optimist Dinghies Club 420s, with spinnakers and trapezes Lasers, Full, Radial & 4.7 rigs Sonars Pleon encourages members to own and use their own boats. The club also owns a fleet of Optis, Lasers, 420s and Sonars for those sailors who do not own a boat. SAFETY Safety at Pleon is our first priority! Everyone is required to wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket at all times when on the dock and water. This rule applies to free sailing at Pleon and to anyone participating in an on-the-water Pleon sponsored activity. SWIM TEST On the first day of class, all sailors are required to take a swim test in the harbor. All participants in the program must be able to swim in a swimsuit for 50 yards and tread water for one minute. Each sailor must also be able to put on his or her life jacket while in the water. (Remember to bring a towel and a change of clothes to the first day of class.) BEHAVIOR EXPECTATIONS Everyone at Pleon is expected to abide by simple, common-sense courtesy and respect for him or herself, the staff and his or her fellow 5 members. In order to ensure that everyone can have a fun time in a safe and positive environment, there are several rules which must be followed. Pleon members are expected to treat both people and equipment with respect and must not in any way hinder the learning of others or act in a malicious or unsportsmanlike manner. No one may ever jump off the pier. To ensure everyone’s physical safety, non-Pleon powerboats may not be around the floats or in the vicinity of classes. Should any member of the Pleon community prove unable to abide by these policies, the Program Director reserves the right to excuse that member from Pleon for an appropriate period of time. In addition, families will be held financially responsible for any damaged or lost equipment resulting from a member’s negligence. Finally, The Pleon Yacht Club is a drug and alcohol free environment. Any breach of this rule is grounds for immediate dismissal from the program. IMPORTANT DATES . Classes will start Wednesday, June 20 and run through Friday, August 17. (Note: Wednesday, June 20 – Friday, June 22 classes will be held during the after school hours due to Marblehead Public Schools calendar. Classes will stick to the same daily schedule but “morning” classes will be held 3:00-5:30, and “afternoon” classes will be held 5:30-8:00. Classes will return to the normal times starting Monday, June 25.) . Sailor’s Ball will be held Saturday, July 14. Marblehead Junior Race Week will be held Monday, July 23 through Wednesday, July 25. Senior Race Week (a.k.a. “Marblehead NOOD”) will be held Thursday, July 26 through Sunday, July 29. (Note: Regularly scheduled classes will not be held at any time during this week.) . Great Day will be held Friday, August 10. 6 . Commodore’s Ball will be held on Monday, August 13. Annual Banquet will be held on Wednesday, August 15. PLEON YACHT CLUB PRIVATE LESSON POLICY Private lessons are available when the coaches have time outside of normal classes. Lessons can be scheduled through the Program Director and set for a time that works for the coach. Those requesting lessons must be Pleon Yacht Club members, and priority will be given to those enrolled in the Pleon Sailing Program. Payment for the lessons must be made directly to the club in the form of cash or check to “Pleon Yacht Club”. Private lesson rates are tiered: $50/hour for learn to sail coaches and $60/hour for race coaches. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: What should I bring to class? A: Sailors should come to class prepared! Life jacket, proper footwear, hat, sun block, sunglasses, a water bottle, a towel, a change of clothes, and a whistle are important equipment for sailors to bring. Q: Are there classes on rainy days? A: Pleon classes are held rain or shine. On rainy days, if the wind is not too strong, sailing classes will be held. It is essential that students bring rain gear and be prepared to sail. Land classes will be held if conditions are extremely poor. Q: What if we’re going on vacation and need to miss a class? A: If you know that your child will be missing class, please let the Program Director know. If your child misses a significant number of classes, you may want to consider private lessons. Q: How is a sailor’s progress in class monitored? A: Check-in with your child’s instructor just prior to the end of class. (11:45–12:00 or 4:30–4:45). If that is not convenient, email or call Frank Pizzo, and he will answer your questions and/or set-up a time to meet. Q: Can I watch my child sail? How do I get involved? A: One of the things that make Pleon Yacht Club unique is that it is run by and for juniors.

Michigan Fleet 38 has hosted national championships in 2015, 2009, and 2001. Bob designed banners for events and signs which have been used at boat shows and regattas. He was instrumental getting the Interlake in the finals of the Sears Junior Championships in 2014. Bob has always been the “go to” guy at Traverse City.

    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-Placing Australian Literature

    An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature James Paull A Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New South Wales 2007 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: PAULL First name: JAMES Other name/s: CAMPBELL Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: English, Media and Performing Arts Faculty: Arts Title: An Ambivalent Ground: Re-placing Australian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) Narratives of place have always been crucial to the construction of Australian identity. The obsession with identity in Australia betrays longstanding uncertainty. It is not difficult to interpret in this uncertainty a replaying of the deeper insecurities surrounding the settler community's legal and more broadly cultural claims to the land. Such insecurities are typically understood negatively. In contrast, this thesis accepts the uncertainty of identity as an activating principle, appropriate to any interpretation of the narratives and themes that inform what it means to be Australian. Fundamental to this uncertainty is a provisionality in the post-colonial experience of place that is papered over by misleadingly coherent spatial narratives that stem from the imperial inheritance of Australian mythology. Place is a model for the tension between the coherence of mythic narratives and the actual rhizomic formlessness of daily life. Place is the ‘ground’ of that life, but an ambivalent ground. An Ambivalent Ground approaches postcolonial Australia as a densely woven text. In this text, stories that describe the founding of a nation are enveloped by other stories, not so well known, that work to transform those more familiar narratives.

    Mary Nichols L'ingénue Scandaleuse

    Mary Nichols L'ingénue scandaleuse Angleterre, Régence Elizabeth Harley est furieuse quand elle apprend que son ami d'enfance, dont elle est éprise, est envoyé à l'autre bout du monde par ses parents qui désapprouvent leur relation. Habillée en garçon, elle tente de le rejoindre pour lui dire adieu et s'aventure sur les quais mal famés du port de Londres. En fâcheuse situation, elle est secourue par un inconnu, Andrew Melhurst, qui, découvrant le pot aux roses, la ramène d'autorité chez elle et demande sa main pour, affirme-t-il, « prévenir d'éventuels ragots ». Elizabeth, qui n'a aucune envie de convoler, se rebelle au grand soulagement de sa sœur Olivia, qui, au premier regard, est tombée follement amoureuse d'Andrew... A propos de l'auteur Sensibilité, précision, liberté romanesque : trois atouts qui font des romans de Mary Nichols de petits bijoux qui s'attardent longtemps dans le cœur et la mémoire. L'ingénue scandaleuse est son deuxième roman publié dans la collection Les Historiques. 1. Assise sur un vieux fauteuil défoncé dans la cabane où l'on entreposait les pots de terre pour rempoter les fleurs, la jeune fille observait d'un œil plein de tendresse le garçon occupé à soigner une plante fragile. Elle portait des bottes de cheval par-dessus ses braies serrées au genou, ainsi qu'une chemise blanc crème aux manches relevées sous un tablier de toile grossière. Une écharpe cachait ses cheveux, qu'elle avait opulents et soyeux, et un observateur attentif aurait remarqué que malgré l'usure, ses vêtements étaient de belle coupe et devaient avoir représenté, bien des années plus tôt, ce qui se faisait de mieux en matière de mode masculine.
