Section 1.Indd Salem Willows Yacht Club 75th Anniversary 1933 - 2008 SWYC 75th Anniversary Yearbook Dedicated in Memory of Everett “Buddy” Hobbs 8 If there is one name that is synonymous with Salem Willows and its surrounding waters it has to be Everett W. Hobbs. “Buddy,” as he was called amongst his many closest friends, was always well loved by anyone he ever met. One place that he held especially close to his heart was the Salem Willows Yacht Club. He was not just a member at the Yacht Club; he was more of a family member. Since his father, Ralph E. Hobbs Sr., was one of the forefathers of the Yacht Club back in 1933, it is no surprise the amount of time that was spent at SWYC. He, like many generations after him, accumulated much of his adolescent memories here. Once introduced to the Yacht Club at the age of 13 there was not much Buddy could do to stay away. His love for the water, sailboats and the Yacht Club developed even more as an adult. Countless number of sailboats occupied his mooring summer after summer. Most were named after the Salem Willows Park itself, as well as family members. However, the Yacht Club to Buddy was not just a place to harbor his boats. It was a second home. One that supplied an ample amount of close friends, which whom he considered most his family. It was a place where he would socialize while his wife played cards with her friends on the deck. It was a place where he would enjoy the summer sunsets, views of the open water and watch the passing of numerous vessels. For everything that the Yacht Club gave to Buddy he gave back. For many years he would allow the Yacht Club to use his families business as a free storage facility for equipment in his basement. Even during the off season he would allow his business as a meeting place for the annual Salem Willows Yacht Club Christmas caroling. Buddy will forever be seen making his way through the park from his business and over the hill towards the Yacht Club. For anyone that has ever known him, loved him, and spent time with him we dedicate this to you Buddy a man that will forever inspire us as a true sailor, especially here at the Salem Willows Yacht Club. From The Editor, With deep felt gratitude I will use this space to first thank all of our advertisers and sponsors who very generously purchased ads in our seventy fifth anniversary year book. Achieving the seventy fifth milestone year of a truly family oriented organization is worthy of recognition as is evident with your response. The staff that went out to do the hard-sell also was very diligent with their efforts to connect with you, our advertisers. I would ask all our members whenever possible to avail themselves of the services provided by our advertisers There is another group of people that contributed an inordinate amount of time, who took on an almost insurmountable task of compiling and reducing to a meaningful publication all the yacht club notes and data acquired from seventy five years of existence. Approximately ninety percent of the data was taken from ancient (by my standards) ledgers that were hand written by people with not the best of penmanship. I thank the talented photographers and photographic designer, the people that authored some very interesting thoughts and reflections, who unselfishly, contributed their efforts and proudly produced a publication to be enjoyed by everyone. Without the generosity of our advertisers and the talents of our staff and volunteers, this publication would not have been possible. A credit to the volunteers and staff is elsewhere in this publication. It took a lot of patience and nail biting and a longer period of time than anticipated to finally bring this project to an end. But I am pleased to say the crew on board accomplished their tasks professionally and with a high spirit of co-operation. There is no mistaking that we are presently living in the electronic age. Is that good or bad? Our grandchildren and their progeny will judge. The hand written ledger to which I earlier referred to as ancient had one major positive aspect. The notes of sixty odd years were contained in but a few cumbersome volumes. However, the more recent data did not seem to have a particular home or archive where one could go to and extract information. So it is here that the year book committee unanimously wishes to address the present administration of the SWYC to initiate a plan to implement a system to archive all the electronic data that our club generates. Although few on this committee will be here to celebrate the centennial of the SWYC, those that come after us hopefully will be grateful for our efforts. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to edit this publication. It was a lot of fun!

They also operated a boat landing on the site of the present club. They had a private flag similar to the present club Burgee. Instead of a star it had the letter “R” with a possible slight variation in the white stripe. This was flown on various occasions and celebrations. In 1904, James N. Wyman who as a member of our club, with three other men, Alvan Price, Frank Price and Arthur Henderson, who had a yacht named “Creon”. Searching all registers of Yacht Club Burgees, James Wyman and the others had a burgee made at Philante’s Sail Loft on Foster’s Wharf Beverly. This was used by them on their trips down the coast of Maine, even as far as Pemaquid Point. Gradually other boat owners who moored their boats at Remon’s landing used the burgee so that they would be recognized as coming from Salem Willows. It was finally adopted by the Salem Willows Yacht Club as the official Burgee and registered with Lloyd’s of London. 2008 SALEM WILLOWS YACHT CLUB OFFICERS AND BOARD OF GOVERNORS Commodore Mike Beecy Vice-Commodore Bob Olenio Rear Commodore Dave Lewis Secretary Tom McLaughlin Treasurer Joe Collins Financial Seretary George Garland Fleet Captain Phil Dole Anne Olenio Audit Gerry Killion Budget Paul Luzinski Greg Gordon Entertainment Ed”Whitey Plecinoga Russ Austin Roland Gauthier John Regan Garet Wohl Norman Walczak Michael Cucchi Membership Jim Garfield House Kevin Neumann Bob Mazarino Jib Sheet Gary Jaworski Junior Sailing Lou Schoenthal Launch Boats Mike Waters Legislative Pat Curtin Rules Dan Muise Web Site Chip Cobb Jean Cobb Congratulations Best Wishes SWYC Salem Willows Yacht Club Th e Garfi elds Jim Pam Rich & Amanda From ZIG Winthrop Yacht Club Inc.

The Willows was first called “The Neck” Around 1630 a fee for rental of a part of this land was approved. The fee was to be charged to fishermen on Winter Island for their catches.

Scott, Commissioner Thomas E. O’Donovan, Division Director OFFICIAL LIST OF PUBLIC WATERS Published Pursuant to RSA 271:20 II (effective June 26, 1990) IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use this list for determining water bodies that are subject to the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA). The CSPA list is available on the NHDES website. Public waters in New Hampshire are prescribed by common law as great ponds (natural waterbodies of 10 acres or more in size), public rivers and streams, and tidal waters. These common law public waters are held by the State in trust for the people of New Hampshire. The State holds the land underlying great ponds and tidal waters (including tidal rivers) in trust for the people of New Hampshire. Generally, but with some exceptions, private property owners hold title to the land underlying freshwater rivers and streams, and the State has an easement over this land for public purposes. Several New Hampshire statutes further define public waters as including artificial impoundments 10 acres or more in size, solely for the purpose of applying specific statutes. Most artificial impoundments were created by the construction of a dam, but some were created by actions such as dredging or as a result of urbanization (usually due to the effect of road crossings obstructing flow and increased runoff from the surrounding area).

  • Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES Lakesmart Program
    Partnership Opportunities for Lake-Friendly Living Service Providers NH LAKES LakeSmart Program Only with YOUR help will New Hampshire’s lakes remain clean and healthy, now and in the future. The health of our lakes, and our enjoyment of these irreplaceable natural resources, is at risk. Polluted runoff water from the landscape is washing into our lakes, causing toxic algal blooms that make swimming in lakes unsafe. Failing septic systems and animal waste washed off the land are contributing bacteria to our lakes that can make people and pets who swim in the water sick. Toxic products used in the home, on lawns, and on roadways and driveways are also reaching our lakes, poisoning the water in some areas to the point where fish and other aquatic life cannot survive. NH LAKES has found that most property owners don’t know how their actions affect the health of lakes. We’ve also found that property owners want to do the right thing to help keep the lakes they enjoy clean and healthy and that they often need help of professional service providers like YOU! What is LakeSmart? The LakeSmart program is an education, evaluation, and recognition program that inspires property owners to live in a lake- friendly way, keeping our lakes clean and healthy. The program is free, voluntary, and non-regulatory. Through a confidential evaluation process, property owners receive tailored recommendations about how to implement lake-friendly living practices year-round in their home, on their property, and along and on the lake. Property owners have access to a directory of lake- friendly living service providers to help them adopt lake-friendly living practices.

  • Dave Cobb Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL DAVE COBB EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest, producer extraordinaire Dave Cobb. DAVE COBB When we approach these records we approach it much the way a record would’ve been done in 1965, 1970. And it’s humans playing together. There are mistakes all over the record. There’s timing issues, there’s tuning issues, there’s pitch issues, there’s flubs of words. The same way people are seeking out organically grown food, I think people are seeking out organically grown music at the same time. The moment I heard Chris Stapleton I was like, “Man I’ve got to track him down.” If I can just get to Nashville I’d run into him and I’d run into Jason Isbell and try to sucker them in to make records. I like to fly by the seat of my pants. Walk in and see what’s going to grab you that day. To me it was a really cool thing about linking really great artists that I like now, and linking Nashville, what Nashville is today. Taking kind of a snapshot of it. And I love it when I get to introduce somebody to somebody else I think is talented. And you see there eyes both sparkle. And I love the unity in the scene. That’s why I moved here. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Dave Cobb. “4th of July” - Shooter Jennings (Black Magick / Universal South) PETER COOPER “Fourth of July,” from Shooter Jennings.
