Our Barony's largest and oldest event is for many people a reminder of the best parts of the SCA. It is truly one of the bright stars in the constellation that is Atlantia. We hope stories of the 40th Ymir will continue to be told for years to come. Now that have reupped as your Baronage for an additional two years, We would like to hear from you with ideas of projects or programs you would like to see. We hope after gathering this commentary, we can see which ones we can try to implement. It does not have to be a finished idea, but please include as much information as you can. For some of us the next few weeks will take us South to support our Kingdom at Gulf Wars. Others will make trips to a closer event in support of Kingdom Arts & Science Festival. No matter the events you attend, remember that you carry part of this Barony and the Kingdom with you.

We thank Lady Rowan of Hawbridge in advance for stepping into the role of seneschal! L e t t e r f r o m t h e C h r o n i c l e r Reminder to everyone, if there are officer changes, please get your info to me regarding publishing your info in the Windlore. Also, check the Baronial calendar! If you think your meetings/events are showing up you might double-check because most are not and I try to pull the information for the Windlore from the online Baronial calendar. I am looking for a deputy! If you have any interest at all in becoming a Chronicler, please let me know. Looking forward, what all do folks want to see in the Windlore? Any specific articles, information, sections? In Service, Lady Helwynn Ivelchild Chronicler L e t t e r f r o m t h e C h a t e l a i n Hello WindyKitties. Thanks to all those that helped newcomers and visitors at Ymir and were just generally good hosts at our largest annual event. We are going to continue the experiment of badges for newcomer helpers for the next few events. There was very good response to them, and while there were few questions from newcomers to those with badges at Ymir, it's worth another try or three. My mind is turning to Demos and the spring and summer event seasons. I encourage everyone reading this to participate in the NCMA Demo. It was very busy last year and we could use the help. And it is a great first Demo to participate in because there will be chances to assist and learn about doing Demos with our veteran Demonstrators. I have only participated in a few, last year, and still have lots more to learn about them. Show up. If only to be impressed by your fellow WindyKitties as I have been. Demos are the side of the Society that we share with the wider world. Demos promote an enthusiastic love of life long learning. Sometimes we get newcomers from Demos. Have I said Demos enough? YIS Brian Chatelain Volume 44, Issue 03 F e b r u a r y 3 B a r o n i a l M e e t i n g M i n u t e s The meeting was called to order on Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 4:08 PM Meeting Location: Solterra Common Area, Durham, NC Paid members present: 33 Unpaid members present: 6 Seneschal (Adelric): Thanks to Margaret for arranging the meeting site!

Coronation is a day trip event—looking for a crash space coordinator (Maddelena volunteered). Meeting Closed at 5:27 PM Volume 44, Issue 03 B a r o n i a l 5 O f f i c e r s — K n i g h t M a r s h a l This position is a slave with two Masters, first you must be a warranted Marshal, usually this is an Armored Marshal but there is nothing in law or policy that prevents their Excellencies from selecting another type of Marshal. Second you must be unquestionable loyal to their Excellence’s, the position exists to bring forward their ideas of how the entire Marshal program in their barony is furthered, beyond question and in total trust. Now the two masters truly comes into play, there is no direct control of any Marshal in the barony conveyed with this position, but the KEM and subordinate DKEM all expect you to be informed of and providing guidance when appropriate to all Marshal questions, situations, and inquires in the Barony you serve. So at this point besides having two masters you need to influence (heard cats) all the territory Marshal's regardless of discipline. They in turn will view you as good or bad based on your ability to answer questions and facilitate their Excellence’s Desires. Marshal activities are an important and constantly changing portion of the Current Middle Ages, your ability to create safe, positive, and enjoyable opportunities for all the Gentles of the Known World requires an expert understanding of the documents that govern our behavior, interpersonal skills to influence and provide leadership to your contemporaries, unquestioned trust and loyalty to their Excellencies, and the ability to provide for the bureaucratic requirements of the organization. Now the conflict of interest disclaimer, in my thirty plus year of living in the Current Middle Ages, I have been a Baronial Knight Marshal in various locations for 22 of those and counting. The position has its rewards. B a r o n i a l O f f i c e r s — R a p i e r M a r s h a l To the Populace of Windmasters' Hill, fairest barony in Atlantia, I, Lord Aedh Ua Ruairc, Baronial Rapier Marshal, send warm greetings. As rapier marshal, my office falls under the heading of "Other Officer" in Corpora and as such its responsibilities are defined by local authorities. In this case, I have "the duty of being the general supervisor of all rapier activities." In particular, I "must ensure that everyone involved in any fighting scenario, whether in competition or at fighter practice are obeying all the rules as set forth in both Kingdom & SCA law". The Baronial Rapier Marshal must be a warranted marshal in rapier combat, natch. In practice, I essentially act as a "senior marshal" for the barony. I am responsible for organizing and promoting fencing activities in the barony, including baronial rapier practices. If you want information on local practices or need to find a marshal to run activities at your event, I'm the guy to call. It's worth noting that the baronial rapier marshal is NOT automatically the Marshal-in-Charge for baronial events, although he should assist with finding one if possible, and many are more than happy to run an event or two a year. Likewise, the baronial rapier marshal is NOT the de facto leader of Windmasters’ fencers at events - that honor is typically bestowed by Their Excellencies at Their whim. For any proponent of rapier, this office is relatively light work. Most of the paperwork falls on the Baronial Knight Marshal. It is necessary to travel a bit, to keep a finger on the pulse of fencing activities both in and outside of the barony, but anyone active in the fencing community is likely doing this already.

Very Respectfully, Christopher MacConing, OL, OP, Provost Interim Web Minister, Kingdom of Atlantia Volume 44, Issue 03 9 S C A a n n o u n c e m e n t s Proposed change to Corpora - Chirurgeon's Office Currently open for commentary is a proposal for the closure of the office of the chirurgeonate. The language for this proposal can be found below. The Board of Directors recognizes that this topic is controversial and would like to emphasize that commentary is being accepted until July 1, 2015, and would strongly recommend that all members forward their opinions for consideration. Over the last number of years, issues have been brought to the attention of the Board and Society Officers regarding the chirurgeonate as it is currently organized. These issues included numerous disputes between chirurgeons regarding availability of over-the-counter medications, interactions between chirurgeons and contracted EMS personnel at large events, interactions between event participants and chirurgeons, and differences between first aid provider credentials available in different states, provinces and countries. The frequency of issues and the potential for liability to the SCA as an organization prompted the President to ask the SCA’s insurance carrier to clarify whether the duties of the Society Chirurgeon, as described in Corpora, are covered by the SCA’s policy. In addition, a request for opinion was made to outside counsel to consider whether the risk of not having an office of the chirurgeonate created more liability for the SCA than keeping the existing office of the chirurgeonate. The response from the insurance carrier was that the duties of the Society Chirurgeon, as defined in Corpora, were not covered under the insurance policy, and there was not an available option for coverage of those duties. The response from outside counsel was that there is more liability to the SCA if the SCA has an office of the chirurgeonate. The Board requested that a committee of current chirurgeons from across multiple North American kingdoms consider options: revising the existing office; evaluating insurance options specific to that office; eliminating that office. Given the recommendations from that committee, the following Corpora changes are proposed. There is no intention to release the heraldry currently associated with the functions of volunteer first aiders participating in the SCA, nor to prohibit any individual from volunteering as a volunteer first aider. This proposal is driven by issues from the North American branches of the SCA. Non-North American SCA affiliates will need to determine their own needs regarding regulation of provision of first aid.
