Pearl and I have noticed how gray the POTUS gets after only one term, but it takes them four years to do it. How-ever, if you’re the POSMC you might do it in one year. I seem to be considerably more blonde than I was last September, but maybe that head-shave for St. Baldric’s had something to do with it.

It probably isn’t sun bleach, because much of my outdoor time, recently, is spent in the woods at the cottage with a baseball cap on. We have a place on

Soon after this Newsletter arrives, we will be enjoying President-elect Ed Rowady’s Fellowship Breakfast. It would be wonderful to see a great turnout for that.

The fellowship will continue in October with a dinner. Special Activities Co-chairmen Tom Knee-shaw and Don Kalso have decided that October, at the beginning of the Club’s new fiscal year and farther away from Thanksgiving and Christmas, might result in a bigger group than we’ve had in recent years. This is one of the few opportunities for our “first ladies” to join us and meet our friends from the Club. I’m sure some of them would like to meet that guy you’re always talking about at home. I’ve been to a few of these, and have always enjoyed them, and I can’t dance.

Ridgeview Way, overlooking the 13th-16th holes of A-Ga-Ming Golf Resort’s Antrim Dells Course. The view has been gradually fading in the past eight years, with golfers being only heard and not seen, so I’m cut-ting out some trees, some of them pines that are thirty inches in diameter.

Pearl laughed today when I came in dirty and drag-ging my tail and said, “You know, I think this is easier than being President of SMC.” But it’s getting me in shape for a Grand Canyon hike this November, my second. Our daughter, Lisa, and her husband wanted to do it, and decided to invite me along, presumably as guide. I’ve warned them that they should expect it will

take a long time to climb back out.This is my last President’s Message, and I want

to say a hearty and heartfelt thank you to all of you who have helped me in so many ways. That includes so many of you who gave encouragement, comments of approval, or “only” a friendly smile or handshake. Laughing at my jokes was nice, too. You are a terrific group of guys! God bless you all.

If you see us sitting on the deck when you’re on the golf course, give us a wave or drop up for a bever-age. Now I hope I can finish my book on Michigan geology.

The end of official scoring for the SMC Golf League?s 2013 season is Fri-day, September 20. After that date, play at all three courses can continue but no score cards will be collected or recorded. Our League handicapper, Steve Shrader, will do the necessary crunching at the computer and come up with final handicaps, season win-ners and complete hole by hole score sheets for each League member. The banquet will be held as usual at the Barrister Gardens, 24225 Harper in St. Clair Shores beginning at 6:00 pm. Barris-ter Gardens is located just north of the Little Mack intersection between Nine and Ten Mile Roads. There is ample parking in the lot behind the building. As always, paid up members of the League attend free of charge and can bring a guest or guests to the Ban-quet for the charge of $20 each. All tables are set for ten diners and the food will be served family style. Mem-bers and guests who wish to sit together should make their wishes known to one of the committee members (listed below) or you can mail in a request to Nick Kondak that includes all member and guest names (up to ten) to be seated at one table. Checks in the amount of $20 should be made payable to “SMC Golf League” and mailed to the treasurer, Nick Kondak, 740 Hawthorne, GPW, 48236. The Golf Committee will try to accommodate all seat-

ing requests but adjustments may be neces-sary. Very Important!! Please make your reservations by September 27 when we must commit to a firm number of attendees. And, please, if you commit to attending the Ban-quet, honor that commitment. We still have to pay for the no-show's dinner. Registration will be at two tables at the front of the hall. Last names starting with A-K will go to one table and L-Z to the other table. The agenda for the evening begins with cocktails (open bar) and socializing from 6pm to about 7pm followed by dinner. Background music will be available during dinner and after dinner for dancing. Each League member, upon being greeted at the registration table, will receive a sleeve of golf balls, and his cash winnings for the season. During the evening, winners of the two scramble events and low gross and low net winners will be announced. Every member will receive (at his dinner table) a sheet listing all games played in 2013 and the line score hole by hole for each game at each course. Again, please remember to give us your reservation by September 27 by phone, by mail or by email to Nick Kondak. Phone: 313-881-8750, email: nikon1926@aol.com.

Luncheon Meeting – August 13, 2013 Speaker: Commodore Bob Niederoest, Bayview Yacht Club Introduction by: Eric A. Lindquist Reported by: Eric A. Lindquist

THE GREAT MACKINAC RACE

Bayview Yacht Club [“BYC”] was estab-lished in 1915 and will celebrate its 100th anniversary in two years. The first Mackinaw race for Bayiew was 1925. The first Chicago Mackinaw race was 1898, then the next one was 1904 and then intermittently until 1921 when they started having it every year. The first race course BYC had was up the shore of MI between the mainland and Bois Blanc Island and Round Island then heading back East to the Finish Line, both races started on the same day and used the same finish line.

Why did BYC start the race in 1925? A year prior to that, Dr. William Wilson and other BYC

members chartered the 62 ft motorless fishing schooner and won Class B of the Newport to Bermuda Race. That win got the ball rolling

to have our own long distance race. The 1925 race was a team effort of BYC and Port Huron Yacht Club and the Detroit Yacht Club. BYC has held the race every year since 1925.

In 1926 the race was named the “Bayview Mackinaw Race”. Port Huron Yacht Club convinced the city’s Chamber of Commerce to donated prizes for the race in hopes of recoup-ing some of its prestige. On May 6, 1926, the official title became “The Bayview Yacht Club Port Huron to Mackinaw Race”.

Over the years there have been 7 courses. The first the Shore Course is 204 nautical miles. The budget for this race of $450, 12 boats started the race, 6 finished, Class A had 9 boats, the Racing Class had 3 boats, “SUEZ” won Class A and

“Bernida” won Racing Class, “Bernida” is a 33 ft R boat, which is still sailing and raced in 2012 Mackinaw Race, The boat won, it was her type of weather, if it was rough it would have sunk. It will not be allowed to race again unless it meets all current safety requirements, which has changed considerably since 1925 when there were none.

The Shore Course remained until 1935 when the Cove Island course became the course. This is a 259 nautical mile course. In 1936 it went back to the Shore Course. In 1939 the course was to the 6 fathom shoal, the geographic cen-ter of Lake Huron. The US Lighthouse Service which later became the US Coast Guard put a buoy at this location for the race. We went back to the Shore Course. 1941 the course was changed to leave Bois Blanc Island to port (left). This resulted in the boats finishing from east to west which we still do today.

In 1942 with the start of WWII Bayview sent a letter to President Theodore Roosevelt asked if they could continue the race. His personal secretary, Mr. McIntyre, responded that “while supplies, equipment and facilities for yacht re-pairs would be very limited, yachtsmen may feel free to continue to the best of their ability.” The race was not interrupted by the war.

1947 the race had grown to 50 boats, the war was over and the crews were returning home to race. Also In 1947 new materials started to appear, such as aluminum spars and Duct Tape.

1950 Escapade a 73’ yawl designed by Phil

September 20137

Rhodes owned by Wendell Anderson set a record by finishing on Sunday at 3:47 pm for an elapsed time: 25 hours, 47 minutes, 19 seconds. In 1952 Escapade won the Chicago and BYC overall, the first yacht to do so.

1945 and 1955 had bad storms and blew boats off the water. This started the legend of “The Rule of 5’s”. The years ending in a 5 would be a bad storm. In the storm of 1955, the yacht Fleetwood was hit by lighting and it fused all the beer cans in the bilge together. 6 boats finished that race. The 1950’s ended with a 90 boat fleet.

In the 1960’s technology hit the race, the big yawls and ketches were gone, replaced with lighter, smaller and faster fiberglass boats.

1963 was the slowest race in history. Blitzen was the first boat to finish on Tuesday at 5:05 pm, elapsed time of 74 hours, 35 minutes, for an average speed of 3 miles per hour. Back then no one carried water on their boat; you have Lake Huron water.

1966 the finish line was printed in the pro-gram wrong. The program said the finish line was between Buoy #3 and a mark on Mackinaw Island. It should have read Buoy #5. 16 boats did not finish as they stopped racing about a 1/4 mile before the actual finish line resulting in being scored as not finishing.

In 1967 the finish line changed again, mov-ing to the east end of the Island, approximately where Mission Point is located. Now Buoy #3 was the correct Buoy. This stopped all the con-fusion at the finish line because boats that had finished were not crossing back to get to the harbor. In 1972 under Race Chairman, Com. John Pappas, the course was changed to Cove Island for all boats.

1975 there was fog at Cove Island. There was a warm south wind, hitting a cold land mass at the north end of Lake Huron, no could not see 10

course and about 36 miles shorted for the Cove Island

feet FOG and there were no electronic tracking then. Bob Niederoest was on a boat called Wind Time, a Cal 40 owned by Bob Hume out of the GPYC. This fog resulted in protests, particularly between Ricochet and Aggressive and Ricochet and the Race Committee. Ricochet protested Ag-gressive for not rounding the mark. Aggressive stated they had rounded the mark navigationally. No one could prove Aggressive did not round the mark, so she won her class. Tamarack, a former Coast Guard Boat owned by John Chandler, was to be on station at the Cove Island Sea buoy, the rounding mark, to record that boats had rounded but she was not on station; she left to answer a distress call. Tamarack was sounding its fog horn and boats followed the sound. As a result all boats must visually round the mark and call in the time. rounding with yacht ahead and yacht astern. This has occurred until last year when tracking systems were put on all boats.

1985 was a big storm, again the 5 year rule. 316 boats entered the race – 99 dropped out, 1 sank, Tomahawk, a C&C 35 owned by Tom Lowry. The crew of 8 was In a life raft when rescued by Com Charlie Bayer on Old Bear, a Cal 36, who then sailed into Alpena. Com. Charlie Bayer and his crew were awarded the United States Coast Guard Highest award for Seamanship in Rescue at Sea. The US Weather Service that year reported the wind a steady 40 knots (46 mph) and 10 feet waves.

2000 the committee left the Cove Island course because the Canadian government dis-continued placing the Cove Island Sea Buoy. BYC moved to a buoy it had purchased and placed it off South Hampton, Canada.

2007 the committee tried to come back to one course and eliminate the expense of putting in a buoy and it rounded the weather buoy off Presque Isle. It was 33 miles longer for the shore

Since May of 1990 Brian has worked closely with Detroit area seniors. Beginning September of 2001 Brian has been the host of “Money Matters”, a popular weekly radio program broadcast every Saturday morning on 580AM, CKWW Radio. The show features interviews on financial topics with a variety of guests, providing interest rate updates, and a “Giveaway of this Week”, among other peri-

Investment Seminar - July 9, 2013 Speaker: Brian Kurtz, AIP Financial Services Introduction by: Dan Beck

U S Savings Bonds

odic features. He is also a regular monthly finan-cial columnist for “Senior Living News”. Brian’s experience includes fixed annuities, indexed annui-ties, 401(k) rollovers, life insurance, long-term care coverage, and living trusts.

Today he spoke primarily to “Getting the Most Out of Your Savings Bonds” because most advisors have limited knowledge regarding this subject. U.S. Savings bonds are widely held, owned by 55 million people. They offer safety and secu-rity yet owners never receive a statement from the government. Initially issued in May, 1941, they were called War Bonds, now referred to as Savings Bonds. The government sold savings notes called Freedom Notes during the Vietnam War which were discontinued within three years.

H Bonds were issued in 1957 through 1979 in one, five and then thousand dollar amounts. When maturity was reached they could be rolled over into Double H bonds, still good today and pay 1.5% annually until maturity.

Bonds can be held singly or by co-owners. You cannot put over two beneficiaries on a savings bond. They should be put in a revocable trust using form PDF 181. Do not leave bonds in one name. To change owner or beneficiaries use Public Debt Form 4000. Final maturity is when interest ceases. All Series E Bonds have reached maturity. Bonds bought since 1990 and later may be redeemed with no penalty if spent for college tuition and fees only.

Brian frequently encounters clients who hold bonds too long – past maturity. There are $17 bil-

is no reason to hold bonds beyond maturity. If you purchased bonds years ago and have

lost track of them, or feel they were stolen file form PDF 1048 including social security number and send to treasurydirect.gov. Be careful of redeeming at the wrong time. Interest was credited every six months. Interest rates differ on issues and may be higher or lower than on new bonds. Cashing in old bonds first could be a mistake because some since 1990 era issues are paying 4%. Consider tax brackets when cashing in bonds as interest is reported. Avoid penalties and interest. Maintain an accurate list of essentials. How will your family know what you have?

Create a “Comprehensive Bond Statement” using the current rate of interest. Some information is online. If you send a list of bonds to Brian he will provide you with a personal bond report to help you determine how they fin in with your overall holdings.

Q. Can you cash in bonds at banks or credit unions?

A. Usually yes, banks may balk at processing large quantities. PDF 2122 is used for redemption of bonds. Have your signature verified and sign the back of the bond.

Q. Why were bonds phased out?A. Because they were too costly to service.

Q. I-Bonds?A. Recommend due to interest rate. Currently in

the 1.8% range.

Brain gave a very interesting and enlightening presentation to the Investment Seminar on a topic never before discussed in the “modern era” which is the memories of those in attendance. Many members left the meeting to head home and look into bottom drawers, old suitcases and safety deposit boxes, not wanting to be members of the 15,000,000 club.

boats to race.The sailors did not like that course so in

2009 we went back to the Cove Island, we put a buoy back in at a great expense, and the Shore Courses. 2012 the committee changed the fin-ish line back to the west end of Mackinac Island because the Grand Hotel is a sponsor.

2013 the sailing conditions were great and new records were set. L Mostro set a new record of 19 hours, 11 minutes, 31 seconds. In fact, 4 boats beat the old record: Equation, L Mostro, Windquest and Occan. These are fast 70 and 80 foot machines with every electronic device available compared to a 1950 wooden 73’ yawl with very few aids to navigation. As you can see, the course has changed 7 times in 88 years, not bad for a race that started with 12 boats and now draws over 300 boats, 1,200 to 1,500 sail-ors, over 400 volunteers and lots of memories. The Mackinac Race has a classification of sail-

ors called “GRAND RAMS” that have sailed 50 Mackinac Races. George S. Hendrie Jr. was awarded a flag on Mackinac Island this year for the outstanding accomplishment of having sailed more Port Huron to Mackinac Races than any other sailor with 62 Mackinac Races. Until this year there were only 7 “GRAND RAMS” including Bobbie Roadstrum [1925], Gerry Leone [1942], Com. Charlie M Bayer [1947], George S. Hendrie Jr. [1947], Fred W. Kreger [1952], Lee Smith [1952], and Rick Grow [1957]. This year 3 more “GRAND RAMS” were added including John Tipp, Com. John Pappas and Com. Dean Balcirak.

The Mackinac Race also has a classification of sailors called “OLD GOATS” which are people who have sailed 25 Mackinac Races. There are currently a couple hundred of them.

The SMC Choral Group is in need of a new Director who can take over the responsibilities that have been ably held by Fred Clark for about 10 years. The Choral Group normally meets every Tuesday morning starting at 9:30 am with some noted exceptions during the holidays and Summer. Much of the music sung by this group has been selected and especially arranged for the SMC. It has long been the tradition to entertain at luncheon meetings and special events. If you enjoy music, have some talent in directing and want to meet some great gentlemen, please call or e-mail: Ed Rowady 313.882.4963, edwardprowady@yahoo.com or Foster Red-ding, 586.293.2540,fosterredding@aol.com,
