Coast Guard Aux. offering boating safety class
Ever wonder what to do if
you are on a leisurely boat ride
and the captain or boat owner
has a heart attack or falls over-
board?
The U.S. Coast Guard
Auxiliary can help answer that
question with its upcoming
boating safety class, Suddenly
in Command.
Suddenly in Command is a
free, three-hour class offered to
assist boat occupants who are
not normally at the helm
(including spouses, children or
others aboard) who may find
themselves suddenly in com-
mand if the operator becomes
ill, gets injured, falls overboard
or has to attend to some other
emergency and is unable to
operate the vessel.
The purpose of this short
course is to familiarize the stu-
dent with essential safety infor-
mation so they can assess and
stabilize the situation, operate
the vessel and summon any
required assistance.
Participants will learn about
their vessel, including nomen-
clature and basic operating
principles as simple as starting
the engine.
Also included are descrip-
tions of what causes boating
mishaps, how to minimize
them and what equipment
should be on board.
Misfortune occurs in sec-
onds and preparation is key to
reduce dangerous risks.

Newport Parks, Rec to host youth basketball clinics
Registration is almost over
for the 2016 youth basketball
clinic and camp being offered
by Newport’s Parks and
Recreation Department.
Basketball programs will run
through the month of August at
the Newport Recreation Center.
The Summer Basketball
Camp will be run by Coach
Doug Sain and his Newport
High School staff and players.
The aim of the camp is to
teach players the fundamentals
skills of shooting, ball han-
dling, defense and coordination
through drills and game situa-
tions.
The camp will be held Aug.
22 to 26 at the Newport
Recreation Center.
Youth ages 5 through 9 will
be from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.;
ages 10 through 14 will be
from 2 to 3:30 p.m. The camp
fee is $50 per child and
includes a T-shirt.

High school baseball rules
will now require a pitching
restriction policy based on the
number of pitches thrown in a
game.
The revised pitching policy
in Rule 6-2-6 was one of six
rules changes approved by the
National Federation of State
High School Associations
(NFHS)
Baseball
Rules
Committee at its June 5-7
meeting in Indianapolis.
The rules changes were sub-
sequently approved by the
NFHS Board of Directors.
Each NFHS member state
association will be required to
develop its own pitching
restriction policy based on the
number of pitches thrown dur-
ing a game to afford pitchers a
required rest period between
pitching appearances.
“We’re pleased that the rules
committee worked in conjunc-
tion with the NFHS Sports
Medicine Advisory Committee
to find an acceptable and rea-
sonable modification to this
rule in order to emphasize the
risk that occurs when pitchers
overuse their throwing arm,”
said Elliot Hopkins, NFHS
director of sports and student
services and staff liaison for
baseball.
The
Baseball
Rules
Committee also revised Rule 2-
32-2 regarding sliding into
home plate. The revised lan-
guage states: “At home plate, it
is permissible for the slider’s
momentum to carry him
through the plate in the base-
line extended.”
The committee altered this
rule since the physical design
of home plate makes it difficult
for a runner to break momen-
tum on a slide, as opposed to
the other three bases, which are
elevated.
The committee also revised
Saturday, Aug. 20.
There will also be a British
Basketball Clinic Aug 8-10 at
the Newport Recreation Center.
British development coach
Steve Pearl will travel to the
Central Coast to run a clinic for
ages 5 through 14.
Coach Pearl will bring his
girl players with him to act as
assistant coaches. Pearl’s teams
are having an outstanding sea-
son in the English National
League. They are unbeaten in

Rule 3-3-1, which states the
umpire has the ability to give
three warnings to a coach or
player before he or she is
removed from the game.
“Officials now have the
opportunity to provide a tiered
warning system for coaches or
players,” Hopkins said. “It pro-
vides the coaches or players
with a teachable moment to
change their unsportsmanlike
behavior in order to stay in the
game.”
A new article 6 was added to
Rule 8-3 to provide a rules ref-
erence for an existing ruling in
the Baseball Case Book. The
new article reads: “When a
plate umpire hinders, impedes
or prevents a catcher’s throw
attempting to prevent a stolen
base or retire a runner on a
pickoff play, if an out is not
made at the end of the catcher’s
initial throw, the ball shall be
dead and all runners shall
return to the bases occupied at
the time of the interference.”
The rules committee also
approved an addition to Rule 8-
4-2, which states that any run-
ner is out when he is physically
assisted by a coach. This rule
change supports a revision in
Rule 3-2-2 Penalty, which
states that the runner shall be
called out immediately when
he is physically assisted by a
coach.
A complete listing of the
baseball rules changes will be
available on the NFHS website
at www.nfhs.org. Click on
“Activities & Sports” at the top
of the home page, and select
“Baseball.”
According to the 2015-16
NFHS High School Athletics
Participation Survey, there are
486,567 boys participating in
baseball at 15,899 schools
across the country.
“Th ank you for your patience
as I deal with some
health and spiritual issues.
I will be back in the shop
full time beginning August 1st.”
