E. READER BOARD INFORMATION - Reader Board is available. 1. Various PRCS Fliers. F. CITIZENS PRESENTATION There were no Citizens Presentations. G. STAFF PRESENTATION 1. Recreation Programs – Kevin Conklin. Mr. Conklin announced that the Gymnastics Center will hold its seventh Novato Gymnastics Classic meet. They have a group of great volunteers and parents that help out with this event, along with all of the staff. It is one of the top meets in the area. During the meet, they open up the Teen Center for families to relax while waiting for their child to compete and they hold the awards ceremony there. The upstairs mezzanine is turned into a hospitality room for the judges. They also open up the pocket park for siblings to play in. The Teen Center has about 40 teens a day dropping in. The 7th and 8 th grade dances were moved to the Teen Center from Novato High School gym. This has been a better venue because it also offers teens to play pool, video games and to mingle in the pocket park. Staff has set up speakers in the pocket park so the teens can listen to the music, but it is low enough for them to be able to talk. Girls basketball registrations were down this year from 40 teams to 19 teams. Staff believes possibly they are signing up for CYO or just not playing. Also, AAU Basketball has extended their season. First and second grade basketball registration is up with 23 teams this year. Adult softball registrations for Spring are down. Some teams are sharing players, while other teams have dissolved. Due to the reduced number of teams, the program will not rent McInnis Park this year. He also announced that a past participant in the Boxing program, Paul Nave, will be in a celebrity fight this month. There are about 30 members of the Boxing Club. Commissioner Parker asked if they are still offering the Fight Night. Mr. Conklin said that event will be in September at the Hill Gym. Last year they had approximately 400 attend the Fight Night. H. OLD BUSINESS 1. Facility Fees. Ms. Kormos said the biggest change in the facility fees schedule for athletic fields is changing from the per player fee to an hourly rate. The recommended change was prompted when the Novato Unified School District changed their facility fees. The last time the City adjusted its facility fees was in 2007, and before that it was 2000. These fees coordinate with NUSD’s fee 090312m.wpd:01/17/08 2 schedule, where both agencies rent the majority of fields and gyms. This will help both manage the usage of fields more efficiently and possibly serve more groups. The City’s recommended facility fees match closely with NUSD’s approved facility fees. She gave a brief synopsis of the process NUSD went through to recommend and approve their facility fee schedule. Many youth athletic groups were upset with the large fee increase. NUSD met with the groups and has suggested phasing the fee increase over a three year period. She explained NUSD’s phasing process. So far, some youth athletic groups have submitted applications to NUSD, a few have not. City Council approved the facility fees (excluding the fields and gyms) that the Commission had recommended for approval. NUSD used a broad approach to phase all of their facility fees. The City is only recommending phasing the field fees. Novato Youth Center and the Greek Orthodox Church rent out their gyms, and their rental fees are higher. The City is recommending no change in the gymnasium rental fees this year. She explained the field rates were comparable to NUSD’s field rates such as the IVC fields rate is comparable to high school field rates, and grass multi use fields matched middle school multi grass use field rates. NUSD staff have reported no complaints about the fee increase from rental groups. Commissioner Lucan asked if the City would be phasing in the recommended fees over a three year period. Ms. Kormos said no. The City will re-examine the process on an annual basis. Commissioner Reuscher asked if the City will keep an eye on what NUSD does over the next three years. Ms. Kormos said they stay in contact regularly. Commissioner Lucan asked for a definition of what a multi use field was, and if they could be shared. Ms. Kormos explained that a multi use field was a field where softball or soccer could be played on. IVC fields can have either softball games or soccer games but not mixed uses. Commissioner Lucan calculated that a soccer group could rent a field for less. Ms. Kormos said that in the past, youth athletic groups would report the number of players using City fields. For example, youth soccer would have 1,500 participants, but only 100 players would use City fields. It was an honor system. In looking at the reserved usage, the City was being paid $1 an hour. Chair Weber asked what the NUSD rates are now that are lower than the City’s. 090312m.wpd:01/17/08 3 Ms. Kormos said NUSD’s tennis courts are $2 an hour for community service groups, the City’s are $4 an hour. The Novato High School Old Gym is $10 an hour, while the City’s gyms are $30 an hour. She reminded the Commission that these NUSD rates are phase 1 of 3. Mr. Conklin said gyms in Novato are heavily booked. The NUSD’s low gym rate is good for the youth groups. Commissioner Stratigos didn’t agree that the City not compete with NUSD’s facility fees. If the fields are rented more, would the City add more maintenance. Ms. Kormos said there were be no added maintenance. Commissioner Parker asked if there is any policing of the usage of fields particularly when fields are closed. Ms. Kormos said there is not. Groups can drop in when a field is not reserved.

  • Twelfth Sunday of the Year (2021) – June 20 “As Evening Drew On” (Mark 4:35)
    Twelfth Sunday of the Year (2021) – June 20 “As evening drew on” (Mark 4:35). “The Gospel passage we have just heard begins like this. For weeks now it has been evening. The darkness has gathered over our squares, our streets and our cities; it has taken over our lives, filling everything with a deafening silence and a distressing void, that stops everything as it passes by; we feel it in the air, we notice it in people’s gestures, their glances give them away. We find ourselves afraid and lost. Like the disciples in the Gospel we were caught off guard by an unexpected, turbulent storm. We have realized that we are on the same boat, all of us fragile and disorientated, but at the same time important and needed, all of us called to row together, each of us in need of comforting the other. On this boat are all of us. Just like those disciples, who spoke anxiously with one voice, saying “we are perishing” (v.38), so we too have realized that we cannot go on thinking about ourselves, but only together can we do this.” With these words Pope Francis led the world in a most extraordinary moment of prayer on Friday, March 27th, 2020, in a dark, empty and rain swept St. Peter’s Square in Rome as the world was embraced in a lockdown. For his reflection he used today’s Gospel, with the disciples questioning Jesus as to whether or not he cares they are perishing, sinking, losing control of their lives.

  • Good Seamanship in Traditional Utility Boats Responsibility - Competence -Safety - Training
    Good seamanship in traditional utility boats responsibility - competence -safety - training The Coast Association's Captain's committee (Forbundet Kystens Høvedsmannsutvalg) Foreword Good seamanship used to be something one grew into by li ving everyday life on an exposed coast. At the same time, it was something one needed to shive to develop in play with a boat, weather and shipmates. Now there has been a break in the transmission ofknowledge, procedures and abilities. Not everyone "knows what they are doing." Mistakes and accidents tend to lead to a demand for close regulation of details and formalized training. Within the coastal culture movement, we rather believe in raising awareness of the captain's responsibility and of the competences and abilities that must be acquired through practice. This is not a textbook on sailing utility boats, and neither is it a curriculum for captains­ to-be. It is a contribution to the work being done with traditional utility boats. We want to invite those interested to participate in a discussion of what good seamanship in traditional uti! i ty boats means. We wish to contribute to a discussion of what competence it would be reasonable to require of a captain. We want to identify some of the basic procedures that in a concentrated form contain hundreds of years of experience with these boats. We want to present a blueprint for how one can conduct systematic training and development of knowledge and abilities related to the use of the boats. The Coast Association's national conference in Kabelvåg, July/August 1998 Captain's committee (Høvedmannsutvalget) Jon Bojer Godal, Wiggo S.

  • Florida's Fleet: an Ebbtide of Shrimp Boats on the San Sebastian River
    Florida’s Fleet: An Ebbtide of Shrimp Boats on the San Sebastian River By Brendan Burke Lighthouse Archaeological Maritime Program (LAMP) St. Augustine, Florida December 20091 This paper focuses on a relatively recent part of St. Augustine’s history, one that had global implications and formed a central component of the town’s economy for almost half a century. Shrimp boat building was a major industry during the 20th century on the city’s waterfront and between 1943-1985 almost three thousand, if not more, shrimp boats were launched by local builders. The types of builder ranged from single individuals operating on rented property to corporate boat factories capable of mass- producing trawlers at rates usually seen only during wartime. Labor pattern shifts concurrent with changes in production can be seen as boatbuilding systems in St. Augustine, and elsewhere, move towards to commodify labor and, arguably, the skilled craftsmanship of the individual or family builder is lost. The St. Augustine example, like other towns engaged in hull-specific boatbuilding, such as Mystic, Connecticut and their 1 Paper presented at the 61st annual meeting of the Florida Anthropological Society, Pensacola, Florida, May 8-9, 2009. “half-clipper”, saw a change in technology and labor patterns that changed the face of the waterfront and the people working there. Three examples of shrimp boat building yards are used here to illustrate this transition. The first is a small family owned business building few boats but providing all of the labor and skills themselves. The second is a family owned business but utilizing wage laborers to supplement and expand the abilities of the yard to produce boats in production style.

    FIRST (SCOTS) SERMONS “IN THE SAME BOAT” Scripture Lessons: Mark 4:35-42; Ephesians 2:13-22 This sermon was preached by Dr. Joseph S. Harvard III on Sunday, August 16, 2015 at First (Scots) Presbyterian Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Maybe you heard about the preacher who stood up to preach, and he said, “Before I begin my sermon I have something important to say." Before I begin I want to express my deep gratitude to the Search Committee that called me here and the Session who called me to serve as Transitional Pastor for this congregation. Carlisle and I are honored to be joining you on this journey of faith. I have long admired this congregation for your witness to the Gospel in this historic city. Phil Noble is a mentor and long-time friend. I join you in admiration and gratitude for the ministry of Danny Massie and Tita Massie. I am aware this is a significant time of transition and I am looking forward to making the journey with you and working with excellent colleagues. Carlisle and I are so glad to be joining you and we solicit your prayers and your support. As I was considering my call to serve with you, I have been pondering this story about Jesus stilling the storm. In the story, Jesus invites the disciples into the boat. Jesus says, “Let us go to the other side.” Jesus takes the initiative. Have you noticed how it works that way for us? I was not looking for a church to serve.

  • 1 the Sermon This Morning Is a Continuation of a Sermon Series Entitled, “Navigating the Storm—How to Journey in Faith Throu
    1 The sermon this morning is a continuation of a sermon series entitled, “Navigating the Storm—How to Journey in Faith through Troubling Times.” There are a number of Biblical stories which unfold on boats that are in the midst of storms; the stories are not only dramatic in their own right, but they tell us a good deal about how to journey through the storms that we encounter in our world today. This morning we are looking at two very memorable accounts from the gospels which took place in a boat on the Sea of Galilee. Let us begin with a moment of prayer . In the Scripture we heard this morning from Mark chapter four, we are told of how the disciples along with Jesus were on a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee, when a storm blew up. The Sea of Galilee is a large freshwater lake, about seven miles wide on average by twenty miles long, and it can become quite rough in a storm. A small boat a few miles from shore in a big storm could get in very serious trouble. Mark gives us a good description of what was happening: "A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was being swamped." [Mar 4:37] I've been out sailing with my kids in big wind and waves, and when water starts coming in over the side of the boat it is a bit unsettling. The disciples were in an ancient wooden craft with limited maneuvering ability, and they were in a raging storm on a big lake at night—our passage says that they had departed from shore in the evening.

  • Tin Foil Boat Challenge
    Tin Foil Boat Challenge Have you ever wondered how a ship made of steel can float? Or better yet, how can a steel ship carry a heavy load without sinking? In this project you will make boats out of aluminum foil to investigate how their size and shape affects how much weight they can carry. The Background Information: The science behind floating was first studied by an ancient Greek scientist named Archimedes. He figured out that when an object is placed in water, it pushes enough water out of the way to make room for itself. This is called displacement. Have you ever experienced displacement? Of course, you have! Remember the last time you got into the bathtub and the water level went up? That's displacement. When you got into the tub, water got out of your way to make room for you, so the water level in the tub got higher. When an object enters water, two forces act upon it. There's a downward force (gravity) that's determined by the object's weight. There's also an upward force (buoyancy) that's determined by the weight of the water displaced by the object. An object will float if the gravitational force is less than the buoyancy force. So, in other words, an object will float if it weighs less than the amount of water it displaces. This explains why a rock will sink while a huge boat will float. The rock is heavy, but it displaces only a little water. It sinks because its weight is greater than the weight of the small amount of water it displaces.
