    Ski Industry Leases Of

    Vermont State Auditor Douglas R. Hoffer Report to the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Natural Resources State Land Leases Boost Ski Industry, but Are Dated and Inconsistent 1/20/2015 • Office of the Vermont State Auditor • Non-Audit Report 15-01 Mission Statement The mission of the Vermont State Auditor’s Office is to hold government accountable. This means ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively and efficiently, and that we foster the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse. Principal Investigator Andrew C. Stein Non-Audit Inquiry This is a non-audit report. A non-audit report is a tool used to inform citizens and management of issues that may need attention. It is not an audit and is not conducted under generally accepted government auditing standards. A non-audit report has a substantially smaller scope of work than an audit. Therefore, its conclusions are more limited, and it does not contain recommendations. Instead, the report includes information and possible risk-mitigation strategies relevant to the entity that is the object of the inquiry. DOUGLAS R. HOFFER STATE AUDITOR STATE OF VERMONT OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR January 20, 2015 The Honorable Shap Smith Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable John Campbell President Pro Tempore of the Senate The Honorable Peter Shumlin Governor Deb Markowitz Secretary of Natural Resources Dear Colleagues, More than 70 years ago, the State decided to catalyze a new industry by leasing public land to companies willing to invest in the infrastructure necessary for downhill skiing. By most measures, this partnership has been successful, and our iconic mountains are now home to world- famous ski areas.

    SKATE AUCKLAND Auckland City 2001 Skate Strategy Contents Introduction Providing Skate Facilities Guidelines for Developing a Skate Facility Maintenance and Management of Skate Facilities Skating in Public Places Implementation Prepared by City Design Limited and the Community Planning Group of Auckland City. Please direct all enquiries to the Community Planning Group, Auckland City Council, Private Bag 92516, Wellesley Street, Auckland 1. ISBN 0-908834-51-9 Introduction Auckland City values the benefits that leisure and recreation activities can have for individuals, families and the community as a whole. We are committed to providing for and facilitating leisure environments and facilities that will enhance the quality of life in the city. This includes providing and advocating for skate facilities to meet the needs of the City’s youth. Skateboarding and inline skating have grown rapidly in popularity particularly over the last 10 years. They have firmly established themselves in Auckland, not only as popular recreation activities, but also as recognised sports. It is more than a fad and is likely to continue well into the future. In fact skating continues to be one of the world's fastest growing participant sports. Skateboarding appeals to young people for a number of reasons, but mainly because as a sport it values the individual, it is a form of self-expression, it is inexpensive, it is challenging, it can be social and it is fun! Inline skating is not so dominated by the younger age group and has broader appeal than skateboarding. While inline skating is a sport for some, the majority are skating for fitness and recreation.

    Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak

    Task Force on Kai Tak Harbourfront Development For discussion TFKT/17/2011 on 3 Aug 2011 Proposed Water Sports Centres at Kai Tak PURPOSE This Paper is to present Members with the Conceptual Background for the development of Kai Tak as a Water Sports Centre and to request endorsement of taking the concept further in determining the development content of the Kai Tak Waterfront. INTRODUCTION 2. The future planning and use of Kai Tak was presented to the public in 2004 as a potential sports hub for Hong Kong. While focus has been on the provision of the Stadium and associated land based sports facilities, little attention has been given to the enormous potential Kai Tak has to become the major focal point for water sport in Hong Kong, and to provide sports facilities not possible elsewhere. It has the potential to become an International Standard water sports centre in the middle of the City, and will require the water quality to be addressed. This would not only become an important water sports event centre but would for the first time provide a convenient water sports training and competition venue close to the main population centre of the City. 3. For the last year or so the three main National Sports Associations (NSA’s) responsible for water sports – The Hong Kong China Rowing Association, the Hong Kong Canoe Union and the Hong Kong Dragon Boat Association – having been meeting with the Home Affairs Bureau and the Kai Tak Office (KTO) of CEDD to discuss the opportunities that exist. Other water-based NSA’s have indicated a strong interest in being involved.
  • Inline Skating Safety

    Inline Skating Safety

    Inline Skating Safety The latest innovation in roller skating is inline skating. [*NOTE: Although many people know the sport as "rollerblading," the term Rollerblade® is a registered trademark of Rollerblade, Inc., and should not be used as a generic term for the sport. Accordingly, this document will refer to the equipment and sport by the generic terms "inline skates" and "inline skating," respectively.] In 1980, inline skates were an ideal off-season training tool for hockey players. Inline skating spread from hockey players to skiers, who also used them for training, and then into the general population of fitness buffs and recreational sports consumers. Swiftly gaining in popularity, rapid inline skating can burn as many calories per minute as cycling or running. Its low-impact, gliding strokes apply less injury-causing stress to the lower body joints than other sports such as aerobics or tennis. Ankles are well- protected because the boots are a heavy, thick plastic and rise above the ankle. • According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, as many as two-thirds of inline skaters do not wear safety gear. • The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that from 2003 to 2007 an average of 32,585 inline skating injuries occurred per year. • Inline skaters should always wear safety gear, including a helmet, knee and elbow pads, and wrist guards. • Just as you would wear a helmet while bicycling, you should wear a helmet when inline skating. • Helmets SIGNIFICANTLY reduce head and brain injury! Since unintentional injuries can occur to even the most experienced inline skaters, the National Safety Council recommends these skating safety tips: • Always wear protective equipment: elbow and knee pads, light gloves, helmets, and wrist guards.

    Bearings and Tribology Affect Inline Skating by Fred Ahrens, PE, Staff Engineer, Tarpoff Moore Engineering, Inc

    Bearings and Tribology Affect Inline Skating by Fred Ahrens, PE, Staff Engineer, Tarpoff Moore Engineering, Inc. 513-932-9777 [email protected] Background Inline skating can be an enjoyable and highly effective fitness training activity. It has approximately the same calorie burn rate as running with less than half the impact load. There are four broad categories of inline skating: aggressive, hockey, fitness/recreational, and speed skating. While this categorization is not exhaustive and omits cross-over styles (like exhibition) it does include the most distinct types. This article will focus on equipment selection in the context of applying mechanical engineering (ME) principles to avoid marketing traps and satisfy functional needs. We will begin with a brief history of the product then describe, in summary form, the styles of blading and how this impacts equipment selection and finally discuss the issue of bearings, lubricants and wheel selection. These three machine elements are the primary differentiator between price points and have the largest impact on the products’ performance characteristics. The earliest known conceptualization of an inline skate dates back to the 1700's when a Dutchman attempted to simulate ice skating by nailing wooden spools to strips of wood attached to his shoes. Versions of the in-line skate resurfaced periodically, but the concept did not catch on. Given the technology of the time, in-line skates could not be designed to function as well as conventional roller-skates. By 1930, roller skates had found a permanent place in society. In 1980, two hockey players chanced upon a set of inline skates and found them to be ideal for off- season training.
