The Green Light ~ Spring 1998 page 2 P R E S ID E N T ’S M E S S A G E Dear Neighbors, I’m impressed by the number of houses on the Point that are being renovated. I keep finding another project as I walk or bike around our neigh­ borhood. Two of my immediate neighbors just completed extensive renova­ tions. Marcia and I are struggling to keep up. Our house renovation is about half done. That’s after a year and a half, when we thought we would be done in a half a year. We’re not sure if it makes us feel better or worse when we talk to a neighbor who tells us they have been at it for five years or seven years, and they are not done yet. W orse news com es from a long time Point Hummer who claims that a Point house renovation project is never done. I am also impressed with the great work that has been done by our Traffic Calming Committee. They recently held two well attended public meet­ ings and received good ideas and support. The new stop signs at Washington and the Goat Island Connector and at Second and Bridge are working well. You will receive a mailing later in March explaining the Committee’s next rec­ ommendations to the City Council. Mark Williams has spent a lot of time and energy on traffic issues. He plans to step down as Chair of the Traffic Calming Committee once the Council acts on our latest proposals. We need someone to step up and take his place. Thanks, Mark for a job well done. If you can’t get me on the phone this spring, it’s because I’ll be sailing. An old friend and I bought a Shields which will be moored conveniently off the Point. We plan to try our hand at racing and ,of course, grandchildren rides. Our house renovations will be on hold until next winter. Have a great spring. The Green Light ~ Spring 1998 page 3 Spring is in th e Air... Notes from the Beautification Committee I t ’s almost that time of year again, the busy spring season when gardeners begin to think about which tasks to turn their energies to. And as Pointers have done yearafter year in April, we will be out in force to do our annual spring clean-up of Storer and Battery Parks. We hope to see lots of you loyal volun­ teers turn out to tidy up flower beds, rake leaves, spread mulch and remove debris in the parks and adjacent public areas. Please plan to meet at Storer Park at 9:00 a.m. - on Saturday - April 18th. Rain date will be the following Saturday morning. Don’t forget to bring gloves, lawn rakes, shovels, wheelbarrows, and a “spring” in your step! The city will supply leaf and trash bags and mulch. See you at the park! Paul Quattrucci T h e A d v e n t u r eC k ih P la n - ilh- i p i m g On anunseasonably warm morning last November, the Adventure Club headed to Hunter Playfield to plant spring bulbs. Led by m om ’s Kris Brouker and Beth Lloyd, the children had a lot of fun as they dug into the ground and carefully placed the bulbs with great hope and anticipation for the spring flowers.

  • Quahog Cup 2021 SOL Race 1451 the Race Was a 35 Mile Sprint in Narragansett Bay, Starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20Th Starting and Finishing in Newport Harbor
    Quahog Cup 2021 SOL race 1451 The race was a 35 mile sprint in Narragansett Bay, starting at 15:00 UT on Saturday, March 20th starting and finishing in Newport Harbor. The course is shown on a NOAA chart on the next page. My track is missing from the initial part. I had planned the first, downwind part of the course up to the Rumstick Rock mark based on the 10:30 forecast. The wind was light, around 9 knots from the South West, initially a little weaker and increasing towards the end. The first leg was obviously a straight broad reach from the start to the first mark Rose Island. As the name suggests, it is actually an island, although that does not show up even on the high resolution SOL map. Below is a picture of it looking eastwards towards Newport. The three conspicuous masts behind the Island belong to the Maltese Falcon. The picture was taken in 2011 during my second visit to Newport. From there it was a run northward. I had noticed that there was a slight wind speed gradient with more speed on the Rhode Island side in the East and a little less on the Connanicut Island side to the West. With the help of the AGL tool I found out that it was possible to closely follow the Rhode Is- land shore and pass East of Coasters Harbor Island without taking a lager risk. It was not necessary to gybe immediately at the Rose Island mark nor in close proximity to the coast, and without deviat- ing a lot from the downwind target angles.

TYPE OF FILING: Amendment TIMETABLE FOR ACTION ON THE PROPOSED RULE: Public Notice Date: July 17, 2018 End of Comment Period: August 18, 2018 SUMMARY OF PROPOSED RULE: In 2016, the legislature passed an amendment to R.I.

The purpose of this proposed rule is to reformat the regulatory section of Chapter 4 – Cultural and Historic Resources of the Ocean Special Area Management Plan (SAMP) and codify the rules in accordance with the new uniform code of state regulations, called the Rhode Island Code of Regulations (“RICR”). There are no substantive changes to the existing regulations. CRMC will issue a guidance document in accordance with R.I. Gen. Laws § 42-35-1(9) and 42-35-2.12, titled “Ocean SAMP guidance document”, to provide helpful information to assist with compliance with this regulation [650-RICR-20-05-4]. The Ocean SAMP guidance document contains the findings, scientific data and other information relative to the Ocean SAMP and can be found by accessing the CRMC’s guidance document index on the CRMC’s webpage [www.crmc.ri.gov] or the Secretary of State’s guidance document index.
