  • Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018
    Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 Guild Newsletter 2018 | 3 Welcome to the Bishop Otter College Guild Newsletter 2018 We are very excited to announce the return of the Jean Lurçat tapestry to the Chapel of the Ascension after six years. The tapestry had not been taken down since its installation in the early 1960s and although it was in very good condition it showed evidence of dye fading due to over exposure to high light levels, a few areas of abraded weft particularly at shoulder and arm height and it was very dusty. The work undertaken by conservator Zenzie Tinker (pictured below) has addressed the damage caused by dust and abrasion and the tapestry has been raised to reduce the risk of people brushing against it when using the altar. The issue of UV damage remains but the tapestry will now be checked annually by the conservator to assess its condition. The Chapel of the Ascension has played a central role in the life of the University since its creation and we are thrilled to be able to showcase the tapestry once more. We invite our alumni back to campus to view the tapestry either before or during the Bishop Otter Guild Reunion. If you would like to visit please get in touch with the Alumni Team who will be happy to arrange a visit for you. 01243 812171 [email protected] 2 | Guild Newsletter 2018 Bishop Otter College Guild President Professor Clive Behagg Vice-Presidents Dr Colin Greaves Professor Philip E D Robinson Honorary Secretary Mr Marten Lougee 11 Meadow Close Cononley, Keighley West Yorkshire BD20 8LZ 01535 636487

  • Template for Writ (00169424).DOC
    Across the Line Published in the Washoe County Bar Association’s The Writ By: Jim Porter of Porter Simon NEW CALIFORNIA LAWS FOR 2011 The California Legislators are a prolific law making machine. This year they approved close to 1,000 bills, but only 725 were signed by (former) Governor Arnie. Here is a sampling in no particular order. Unless otherwise noted, these bills took effect January 1, 2011. Sports Betting Pools Existing law makes it a misdemeanor to form a betting pool or place a bet on the outcome of any contest, like a sporting event. AB 58 makes it a mere infraction to participate in a betting pool, as long as there is no more than $2500 at stake. Hand Gun Ammunition—Thumbprints This controversial law will be challenged in the courts and will be featured in a future column. Commencing February 1, 2011, under AB 962, sellers of hand gun (pistol) ammunition must obtain a thumbprint and all sorts of personal information from anyone purchasing ammo—with very few exceptions. I did not see an exemption for .22 cartridges. Sales of pistol ammunition may only be done in a face-to-face transaction with proof of identification. (Key provisions of the law were found unconstitutionally vague by a Fresno County Superior Court.) Poaching Fines The illegal poaching of fish and wildlife is rampant in California, and yet judges are notoriously lenient when imposing fines. AB 708 will establish mandatory minimum fines with resultant increased revenue to local prosecutors to go after egregious poaching. It’s about time.
