Port River Sailing Club Inc Port River Sailing Club Inc. Year Book for 2017-2018 A member of Australian Sailing Ltd Actual Location: 45 George Robertson Drive, Largs North, 5016 PO Box 192, Port Adelaide, SA, 5015 Phone 84491818 Email: [email protected] Website www.portriver.yachting.org.au Welcome to Port River Sailing Club for 2107-18 season 1. Thanks to the volunteers. Last season has seen a huge effort by members of the club. Early in the year saw the installation of our shade structures. This was a major task for a group of club members. Many trades’ people and many no trades’ people were engaged. I believe many members were pleased to see what a group of none professions could achieve. Well done team. Other areas to run this sailing club are race management off and on the water, canteen and house maintenance. These are just normal club duties done by normal club members who arrive every Saturday to do their duties. The club would not operate without these dedicated members. Many thanks to those members who have helped during the year. 2. Club Sailing. Sailing boat numbers held their own during the year with about the same as previous years. The major classes of Sabres and Fireballs dominated procedures. Our club champions are well deserving of their positions. It would be nice if we could build on our current fleets. 3. Social events. Social events like Opening Day, Christmas Party, Prize night and many other impromptu after sailing gatherings will again make the sailing club a true social place as well. It is very nice to see so many older none sailing members still coming to the club for their social fix. 4. Not the Nationals Not the Nationals will be held again after Christmas on the 27th 28th and 29th of December. Let’s hope the weather is better this year. 5. Metro Schools Team Sailing. We will not have a state title at the club this year. School Team Sailing will only be running their trials at Port River. We should make some financial gains from these events. Volunteers will still be required during these Sundays. Page 1 6. The future development of the club. The introduction of two races per Saturday has been agreed and will be introduced this season. Short course racing was enjoyed last season and will continue. Having two races each Saturday will allow for more drops for Club Championship points and Handicap points. A second advantage of two races per Saturday is that it will allow more people from the team sailing group to enjoy one short race of 45minutes. Welcome from your Management team for another year.

It outlines our commitment to a person’s right to be treated with respect and dignity, and to be safe and protected from abuse. Our policy informs everyone involved in our club of his or her legal and ethical rights and responsibilities and the standards of behaviour that are required. It also covers the care and protection of children participating in our club’s activities. Child Protection The PRSC is committed to the safety and wellbeing of all children and young people accessing our service. We support the rights of the child and will act without hesitation to ensure a child safe environment is maintained at all times. We also support the rights and wellbeing of our staff and volunteers and encourage their active participation in building and maintaining a secure environment for all participants. PRSC acknowledges that our staff, members and volunteers provide a valuable contribution to the positive experiences of children involved in our sport. PRSC aims to continue this and to Page 5 take measures to protect the safety and welfare of children participating in our sport Bridge Workings. Assistance is always welcome on the Bridge. No experience is required. Safety Boats. Port River Sailing Club has three Safety Boats. PR6 is crewed by Sue Kitto and Mark Moore and is used as the Start Boat and for laying the course markers. PR8 (a Rubber Duck) is the lead boat for River Traffic and keeps a close watch on all sailors. PR4 is used on busy days, our back up boat. The Bridge and Safety Boat Personnel all keep a close watch on the sailors and the river traffic. Visitors are always welcome to lend a hand. 2017-2018 PROGRAM We have decided not to roster a class to help out with the launching, retrieval and washing of the safety boats. Instead, we would encourage all members to help with what they can, when they can with the safety boats, and people may be requested to assist with race organisation. Social Events will be held throughout the season and will be publicised on the Club notice board and PRSC website. Presentations will be held after sailing and the safety boats are in the shed. Club BBQ facilities will be available each week after Sailing for members use.

  • OLCA Committee
    The Oceania Laser Class Association OLCA and its Committee Preamble The Laser is what other Classes inspire to be, with a strong Local, District, National, Regional, through to a World organisation. In November 2016 the International Laser Class Association ILCA made the decision to split Oceania from Asia. This aligns ILCA Regions with the International Olympic Committee’s IOC’s Continental Regions represented as the five rings on the Olympic logo. In the future OLCA will develop an events calendar and quality of events to rival any Region in the Laser World. As we develop into the future we plan to become the Region of choice for many ILCA World Championships. If the Oceania Laser Class Association is as successful as I think it can be we can add another 15 countries to the current 118 affiliated with ILCA. Every team member has the skills needed for the business of OLCA to be successful. I am honoured to be one of the Team. The Brief To undertake the responsibility to assemble a Team of hard working experienced Sailing administrators with a passion for the Laser Class not only as administrators but active Laser Sailors with strong connection to their local Laser sailing community at club, District and International level. The Committee Chair Ken Hurling OAM Queensland Australia As Chairman Designate I was asked by the ILCA to establish the Oceania Laser Class Association OLCA. Subsequently I was elected as Chairman at the inaugural OLCA Annual General Meeting in Mooloolaba Qld in February 2018. I am a retired country butcher and feed lot operator.

  • Sept 2010 LOG.Cwk
    Volume 30 No. 4 September 2010 Mary Nye Meyers,Editor The mission of IOBG is to recognize past commodores of the international yachting community and unite them in order to promote the highest ideals of yachting, and preserve its customs and traditions through social, educational and humanitarian programs. In an earlier report I wrote it was my hope our critically motivated internal analysis might be quickly and amicably resolved, so that more of our time could be spent on boating and water related activities. Our recent membership vote of approval of a number of revised and/or rewritten By-laws should enhance our opportunity to become more deeply involved in the many issues facing the boating community. As if on cue, I have recently received two phone calls asking the extent of IOBG's knowledge and involvement in certain water related issues. For example, one caller asked the extent of our knowledge concerning the established governmental water pollution standards of Puget Sound in Washington State. A second caller asked if any governmental standards have been established concerning oil contamination in the Gulf of Mexico. In fielding these two questions, it became crystal clear to me how little IOBG was involved in any fashion with either governmental or political machinations regarding water or boating issues. To live up to our Mission Statement, we should make an effort to the best of our ability, to alert members to these issues. Hopefully we will have an informative article in each issue of the LOG Newsletter, which would be interesting, as well as educational.

Last season was one of consolidation, we managed to reduce some of our major expenses through good planning and others by just plain nagging. Yachting South Australia reduced their fees by 50% which was by far our greatest reduction of any one item. Last year we changed insurance companies which has saved us some more money. Our member ship has stayed pretty much the same. We see the 2016-17 year as a growth year. The club needs to attract new members. There are some exciting things close on the horizon. Watch this space. The Boating Industry of Australia will be their annual on water boat show right in our back yard on the 15 th and 16 th of October . It will be a great way to show off the safe waters we sail in. School Team sailing is back and bigger than ever. There are more schools competing and more teams in each school. For those who are not familiar with the term Team Sailing please refer to Note 3 in this program. Our involvement with our bigger boat mates over the fence will continue to grow. On Wednesday nights during daylight saving we open our club for the PASC to run their twilight racing. These are an exciting spectacle and all members are invited to watch the racing which is usually between the North Arm and the grain berth.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

  • Exemplar Texts for Grades
    COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects _____ Appendix B: Text Exemplars and Sample Performance Tasks OREGON COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects Exemplars of Reading Text Complexity, Quality, and Range & Sample Performance Tasks Related to Core Standards Selecting Text Exemplars The following text samples primarily serve to exemplify the level of complexity and quality that the Standards require all students in a given grade band to engage with. Additionally, they are suggestive of the breadth of texts that students should encounter in the text types required by the Standards. The choices should serve as useful guideposts in helping educators select texts of similar complexity, quality, and range for their own classrooms. They expressly do not represent a partial or complete reading list. The process of text selection was guided by the following criteria: Complexity. Appendix A describes in detail a three-part model of measuring text complexity based on qualitative and quantitative indices of inherent text difficulty balanced with educators’ professional judgment in matching readers and texts in light of particular tasks. In selecting texts to serve as exemplars, the work group began by soliciting contributions from teachers, educational leaders, and researchers who have experience working with students in the grades for which the texts have been selected. These contributors were asked to recommend texts that they or their colleagues have used successfully with students in a given grade band. The work group made final selections based in part on whether qualitative and quantitative measures indicated that the recommended texts were of sufficient complexity for the grade band.
