The programme is back to full strength this year with many new events, activities and features. The organising committee are particularly proud of, and grateful for, the collaboration and co-operation between the sponsors, clubs, organisations and individuals, without which, this festival would not be possible. The ambition of Shetland Boat Week is to encourage and enable the use of boats of all kinds, by all ages. No less important is getting people on the water and reviving the passion for Shetland’s maritime heritage, by encouraging the maintenance of traditional boats and retention of traditional skills. This programme of events facilitates access to a range of maritime themed activities for all ages. Many events take place in and around Hay’s Dock in Lerwick, with active encouragement to visit the nautical offerings from Unst to Sandsayre and everywhere in between.

The Boat Haven was first set up by Duncan Sandison, initially in the Swedish Kirk at Baltasound. This sadly blew down on 1st Jan 1992 and Duncan then built the present Boat Haven which was opened on the 14th May 1994 by Rob Anderson. The visitor attraction celebrates it’s 25th anniversary this year. The building includes 21 full sized boats of various types and a toy boat for bairns to play in. The boat collection includes examples from local builders Robbie Nicolson, Willie Isbister, Lowrie Isbister and Willie Mouat. There are also boats by other builders throughout Shetland, which allows the visitor to see clearly the differences in build style in different areas. Displays and artefacts also cover local history including the herring and Haaf fishing, First World War submarine artefacts, and a model of the sixareen “Winter Witch” which notably survived the Gloup disaster in 1885. The full size sixareen, Far Haaf, sits in the covered shed in the grounds of the Boat Haven. An impressive sight to see. The Unst Boat Haven is open from 11am - 4pm Monday to Saturday, 2pm - 4pm Sunday, 1st May to 30th September. There will be a special exhibition of Jim Tait’s maritime paintings in May and June 2019. 6 Shetland's essential boat trip www.mousa.co.uk Daily Sailings Monday–Friday & Sunday Departing 11.30am from Sandsayre Returning 2.30pm from Mousa (Sunday 1.30pm – 4.30pm) Shetland Boat Week trips: Mousa Isle Guided Walk: Monday 5th Aug, 6-9pm Mousa Sound Cruise: Wednesday 7th Aug, 4-5pm Noss Trip: Sunday 11th Aug, 9.30am-12.30pm Telephone: +44 (0)7901 872339 | Email: [email protected] Follow us on Facebook @TheMousaBoat Laura Kay Boat Trip The Laura Kay is Shetland Museum and Boat Trips Archives modern built, traditional haddock boat.

  • Records of Species and Subspecies Recorded in Scotland on up to 20 Occasions
    Records of species and subspecies recorded in Scotland on up to 20 occasions In 1993 SOC Council delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List (list of all species and subspecies of wild birds recorded in Scotland). In turn, SBRC appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function. Current members are Dave Clugston, Ron Forrester, Angus Hogg, Bob McGowan Chris McInerny and Roger Riddington. In 1996, Peter Gordon and David Clugston, on behalf of SBRC, produced a list of records of species recorded in Scotland on up to 5 occasions (Gordon & Clugston 1996). Subsequently, SBRC decided to expand this list to include all acceptable records of species recorded on up to 20 occasions, and to incorporate subspecies with a similar number of records (Andrews & Naylor 2002). The last occasion that a complete list of records appeared in print was in The Birds of Scotland, which included all records up until 2004 (Forrester et al. 2007). During the period from 2002 until 2013, amendments and updates to the list of records appeared regularly as part of SBRC’s Scottish List Subcommittee’s reports in Scottish Birds. Since 2014 these records have appear on the SOC’s website, a significant advantage being that the entire list of all records for such species can be viewed together (Forrester 2014). The Scottish List Subcommittee are now updating the list annually. The current update includes records from the British Birds Rarities Committee’s Report on rare birds in Great Britain in 2015 (Hudson 2016) and SBRC’s Report on rare birds in Scotland, 2015 (McGowan & McInerny 2017).

In the past 8 years we have seen GlobalFoundries not only build the first semiconductor manufacturing plant, but add to their 229 acre complex a large administrative building and then a Technology Development Center, bringing the total workforce to 2,000. On August 19, the Town Board amended zoning for the Campus to clear the way for even further expansion. See companion article on page 2. This driving force in our economy has brought a “second tier” of businesses - INSIDE THIS ISSUE: high-tech suppliers such as; Tokyo Electron, KLA Tencor, DNSE, Novellus, Applied Malta’s New Businesses Materials, Ovivo Water, Ebara Technologies, Lansing Engineering and Variant Technologies. Round Lake Road Improvement Plans And, there are a number of “third tier” businesses that have emerged. Page 2 contains a list of these businesses. Senior Corner As we jokingly say, Malta “The Center of the Universe” has become the job center for Saratoga County. During this growth period, the Town Board has provided Residents In The News steady leadership to not only support economic development, but to protect our quality of life. We welcome all our new businesses to The Malta Town Family. We welcome your EVENTS: culture of excellence and public service.

  • Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – a Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft
    Shetland and Orkney Island-Names – A Dynamic Group Peder Gammeltoft 1. Introduction Only when living on an island does it become clear how important it is to know one‟s environment in detail. This is no less true for Orkney and Shetland. Being situated in the middle of the North Atlantic, two archipelagos whose land-mass consist solely of islands, holms and skerries, it goes without saying that such features are central, not only to local life and perception, but also to travellers from afar seeking shelter and safe passage. Island, holms and skerries appear to be fixed points in an ever changing watery environment – they appear to be constant and unchanging – also with regard to their names. And indeed, several Scandinavian researchers have claimed that the names of islands constitute a body of names which, by virtue of constant usage and relevance over time, belong among the oldest layers of names (cf. e.g. Hald 1971: 74-75; Hovda 1971: 124-148). Archaeological remains on Shetland and Orkney bear witness to an occupation of these archipelagos spanning thousands of years, so there can be little doubt that these areas have been under continuous utilisation by human beings for a long time, quite a bit longer, in fact, than our linguistic knowledge can take us back into the history of these isles. So, there is nothing which prevents us from assuming that names of islands, holms and skerries may also here carry some of the oldest place-names to be found in the archipelagos. Since island-names are often descriptive in one way or another of the locality bearing the name, island-names should be able to provide an insight into the lives, strategies and needs of the people who eked out an existence in bygone days in Shetland and Orkney.

  • In Other Words: Maltese Primary School Teachers' Perceptions Of
    In Other Words: Maltese Primary School Teachers’ Perceptions of Cross-linguistic Practices and Flexible Language Pedagogies in Bilingual and Multilingual English Language Classes. Michelle Panzavecchia A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield School of Education September 2020 Abstract As a result of globalisation, bilingualism and multilingualism are becoming more of a norm rather than an exception and speaking two or more languages is associated with multiple benefits. Bilingual social identities are shaped by language acquisition and socialisation, and educators construct their own teacher identities and pedagogies through their past personal, educational, and professional experiences. This study provides a basis for critical reflection and discussion amongst English language primary school Maltese teachers, to explore how their bilingual identities affect their pedagogical practices. The study probes into teacher’s perceptions on whether, why and how cross-linguistic pedagogies are beneficial within bilingual and multilingual language classroom settings. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine purposely selected primary school teachers, each with over ten years teaching experience, to explore their bilingual identities and beliefs, how being bilingual may affect their pedagogical practices, and to investigate whether they believe they are using cross-linguistic practices during English lessons. The process of data collection and analysis highlighted the fact that educators’ perceived pedagogies, beliefs, and language preferences stem from their own personal, educational, and teaching experiences, and are embedded in Malta’s socio-cultural context. Maltese teachers believe that they use fluid language practices in their classrooms as a natural part of their daily communicative practices, and as a means of reaching out to all their students.
