Jeremy Hunt declared an interest as the Cabinet Member for Finance for West Sussex County Council 166. Louise Goldsmith declared an interest as the Chairman of Save Our South Coast Alliance (SOSCA). 167.

The Chairman of the Advisory Committee agreed to bring points of note from the Advisory Committee discussion forward at the relevant item during the meeting, 1 5. CHAIRMAN’S UPDATE 170. The Chairman provided and update on his work for the Conservancy since the last meeting. He said he had continued to work with the Director & Harbour Master and John Nelson from the Chichester Harbour Trust to influence the Chichester District Council Local Plan with the objective of ensuring it includes policies to sufficiently protect and safeguard the AONB. 171. He congratulated Fran Davies and Louise Goldsmith on their 20 years’ service and informed members they had received a vase as a gift. He went on to say that he had written to them both thanking them for their efforts towards protecting the AONB. He provided a summary of the work and achievements of both Ms Davies and Cllr Goldsmith. 172. Louise Goldsmith thanked the Conservancy for the award. 6. REPORT FROM THE DIRECTOR & HARBOUR MASTER COVID 19 Harbour activity 173. The Director & Harbour Master informed members that there had been no positive cases of COVID 19 amongst the staff and the team continued to work in COVID secure ways, with most working from home. He said that the harbour team and Rangers continue to carry out duties and he thanked Adrian Karn for his efforts in recovering a Transit Van from the water before any major damage could be done to the harbour environment. Byelaw prosecutions 174. The Director & Harbour Master reported that there was one successful prosecution in December in respect of a speeding incident which took place in June 2020, where a personal watercraft was paced at between 33 and 35 knots. A fine of £250 and costs of £480 were awarded. Three further prosecutions are expected to go ahead in June 2021, delayed because of the court backlog of cases. Baker racing mark 175. The Director & Harbour Master said that Itchenor Sailing Club has requested the establishment of a new racing mark in the Chichester Channel. It is felt by stakeholders that the provision of an additional mark would make sense and was approved by the Chichester Harbour Federation. The mark will be named in honour of Mike Baker who sadly passed away. Mr Baker had been a former Advisory Committee member and was a former Chairman of the Federation. Members were in favour of establishing the new mark. Harbour Office / Jetty Proposals 176. The Director & Harbour Master said that the proposals for the jetty and harbour office have been discussed with local stakeholders. The plans are still being developed and it is anticipated that a business plan will be submitted for scrutiny to the March meeting of the Finance, Risk & Audit Group. Members Training 177. The Director & Harbour Master informed the Conservancy that there were three new members of the Advisory Committee and induction training was being 2 organised for them to attend. Members were also told of some upcoming training opportunities on inclusion, and for duty holders with the Association of British Ports and advised to let the Executive Officer know if they were planning to attend so training records can be updated, or if they needed assistance booking places. Landscapes Review 178. The AONB Manager said that the application to Defra in respect of Statutory Consultee status has stalled. The reason given by a representative of Defra was that the Department had not yet officially responded to the Landscapes Review and it would be more advisable to wait until such time before considering this matter. He said he had approached a Planning Barrister for a legal opinion, but it was not forthcoming. It was hoped that the legal opinion would ascertain if Defra had the authority to delay the request for Statutory Consultee status. The AONB Manager advised Members against getting into a dispute with Defra. 179. The Members said there was no timescale on when Defra would respond to the Landscapes Review. The Members encouraged the AONB Manager to continue to seek a legal opinion, and then to decide on the next steps once that was received. If the legal opinion confirmed the response from Defra was tantamount to filibustering, the Members suggested to then contact the local MPs for support, and the relevant Minister (Rebecca Pow MP), in case she was not aware of this case. 180. The AONB Manager went on say that focus of Defra appears to be on setting up a new National Landscapes Service. 181. The Landscapes Review recommended that AONBs should be rebranded as ‘National Landscapes’ with the Cotswolds AONB being the first to voluntarily take that step. The AONB Manager said there were no plans for Chichester Harbour to follow this route at the current time. Harbour Footpaths 182. Members discussed the condition of footpaths at length. A member expressed concern that because of the recent heavy rain and increase of foot traffic, the paths are very muddy, and people are veering off the footpaths onto saltmarsh and farmers’ fields. A member said that if this wear and tear continues there could be a significant impact on bird breeding and the wider environment. Another member said that cyclists are also causing damage to footpaths. The AONB Manager has received several complaints about and from cyclists and that with the most recent lockdown, tensions are running high between different user groups. Members discussed potential solutions to the state of repair of the footpaths and agreed that work was required to identify how these works would be funded. The AONB Manager said that it was disappointing that some landowners have little or no appetite to roll footpaths back or to carry out repairs which would alleviate some of the problems being experienced. Saltern’s Way 183. The AONB Manager said that the planned resurfacing works will take place on the cycleway in the coming weeks. He went on to say that the proposed reroute is on hold for a few months, whilst more species data is gathered. A member welcomed 3 the improvement works and said that some additional signage in specific areas would encourage more people to use it responsibly. Ash die back 184. The AONB Manager said that in the spring the trees in the harbour would be surveyed and a company had been contacted to carry this work out. Members expressed disappointment that ash die back had been identified in trees in the harbour. Partnerships 185. The AONB Manager said that the SCOPAC one-off meeting was excellent and informative. Recommendation 186. The Conservancy noted the report from the AONB Manager and Director & Harbour Master. PORT MARINE SAFETY CODE 187. The Director & Harbour Master presented his report to members. He said that the Port Marine Safety Code was last amended in 2016 and that the 2021 edition was available to view on the Conservancy website and members area. He described how the Conservancy’s Marine Safety Management System and Safety Plan details how the duties and powers (in relation to marine operations in Chichester Harbour) are discharged in accordance with a marine safety management system, based upon formal risk assessment. He reminded members that the Designated Person for the Conservancy is Monty Smedley of ABPmer who oversees the work of the officers to provide assurance that duties are being discharged appropriately. He went on to say that members of the Conservancy are severally and collectively the ‘Duty Holder’ for Chichester Harbour accountable for the discharge of its duties and powers. 188. The Director & Harbour Master said that the powers available to the Conservancy under the Chichester Harbour Conservancy Act 1971 and other legislation enabled by it were subject to a review by Ashfords LLP in 2020. He said that the firm are specialists in Harbour Law. As a result of that review an application for powers of general directions has been made. 189. He said that all risk assessments have been reviewed in respect of harbour operations in light of incidents in the harbour during 2020, including re-assessment of control measures, and wider changes. He said that the 2020 season had been unusual, with a delayed start due to lockdown restrictions but thankfully income had recovered well and was broadly similar to that of the previous season. The harbour saw a large influx of people over a condensed season and the overall number of incidents was 258, 15 fewer than the last year.

  • The Real Natives
    ‘Real Natives’ A Study of the History of Oyster Fishing in Chichester Harbour for the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority Dr Ian Friel MA, PhD, FSA © Ian Friel 2020 Oysters - a once-common food Poor food for friars ‘Give me then of thy gold, to make our cloister’, Quoth he, ‘for many a mussel and many an oyster ‘When other men have been full well at ease ‘Hath been our food, our cloister for to raise’ Geoffrey Chaucer, The Summoner’s Tale, c 1387-88 A Chichester bet In 1813 a man named Martin from Dell Quay Mill and another named Fogden from Donnington met at Chalkright’s fishmonger shop in South Street, Chichester, to settle a bet as to who could eat the most oysters: ‘in a short time each swallowed four hundred large ones’ until Martin called for a halt. Fogden agreed, as long as Martin paid for the oysters. They then went to the King’s Head for a glass of brandy, followed by an eel pie supper at Martin’s house. Ipswich Journal, 11 December 1813, p 1 The London Oyster Season opens: Billingsgate Fishmarket, August 1835: ‘At an early hour a scene of unusual bustle and confusion was apparent. Not less than 5,000 persons were in waiting to be served with the ‘real natives’, while the streets in the vicinity were blocked up with every species of locomotive vehicle to convey the oysters to the various quarters of the metropolis. There were no less than fifty sail of vessels in front of Billingsgate laden with oysters, chiefly from the Kentish coast.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Location of the AONB The Chichester Harbour Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (the AONB) is located in the counties of West Sussex and Hampshire on the southern coast of England (Fig 1). The AONB forms an irregular area, its boundary following a number of roads and other features, including the harbour mouth, to enclose some 74 sq km. The western boundary of the AONB is marked by the B2179 through West Wittering, along the A286 to Dell Quay where the boundary continues north up Appledram Lane to meet the Chichester By Pass. The A259 constitutes the long northern boundary of the AONB. The boundary turns south down Bath Road, heading west along the coast to rejoin the A259, then turning south at Langstone and crossing the Langstone Bridge. The eastern boundary follows field boundaries and minor roads down the east coast of Hayling Island. The ‘corners’ of this irregular area are marked by the NGRs 472680 105845, 474475 97505, 484020 100890, and 484230 104605. The area encompasses a number of small picturesque harbour villages, including Itchenor, Dell Quay, Bosham, Bosham Hoe, Chidham, West Thorney and parts of West Wittering, Fishbourne, Nutbourne, and Prinsted, as well as the major ‘arms’ of Chichester Harbour itself – Emsworth Channel, Thorney Channel, Chichester Channel and Bosham Channel. It includes a broad range of landscapes and seascapes providing continuity from inland areas through marginal land and intertidal ranges to underwater sites in the channels. The Harbour is a recognised archaeological and historical resource as well as a valued natural environment. Status of the AONB The status of the AONB was designated by order on 7 July 1963, and this was confirmed by order on 4 February 1964.

  • Latin Derivatives Dictionary
    Dedication: 3/15/05 I dedicate this collection to my friends Orville and Evelyn Brynelson and my parents George and Marion Greenwald. I especially thank James Steckel, Barbara Zbikowski, Gustavo Betancourt, and Joshua Ellis, colleagues and computer experts extraordinaire, for their invaluable assistance. Kathy Hart, MUHS librarian, was most helpful in suggesting sources. I further thank Gaylan DuBose, Ed Long, Hugh Himwich, Susan Schearer, Gardy Warren, and Kaye Warren for their encouragement and advice. My former students and now Classics professors Daniel Curley and Anthony Hollingsworth also deserve mention for their advice, assistance, and friendship. My student Michael Kocorowski encouraged and provoked me into beginning this dictionary. Certamen players Michael Fleisch, James Ruel, Jeff Tudor, and Ryan Thom were inspirations. Sue Smith provided advice. James Radtke, James Beaudoin, Richard Hallberg, Sylvester Kreilein, and James Wilkinson assisted with words from modern foreign languages. Without the advice of these and many others this dictionary could not have been compiled. Lastly I thank all my colleagues and students at Marquette University High School who have made my teaching career a joy. Basic sources: American College Dictionary (ACD) American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (AHD) Oxford Dictionary of English Etymology (ODEE) Oxford English Dictionary (OCD) Webster’s International Dictionary (eds. 2, 3) (W2, W3) Liddell and Scott (LS) Lewis and Short (LS) Oxford Latin Dictionary (OLD) Schaffer: Greek Derivative Dictionary, Latin Derivative Dictionary In addition many other sources were consulted; numerous etymology texts and readers were helpful. Zeno’s Word Frequency guide assisted in determining the relative importance of words. However, all judgments (and errors) are finally mine.
