COMMODORE’S COMMENTS<br />
G<br />
erri and I have never<br />
been to Paris, at<br />
least not until New Year’s<br />
Eve when our unbelievable<br />
Entertainment Committee<br />
transformed the club<br />
into a French bistro of<br />
magnificent proportions.<br />
Organized by Jan and Donna Kay<br />
Molenaar and Tom and Marianne Brusco,<br />
the party bore the decorative touch of Ed<br />
and Susan Burns, who pitched in and<br />
unleashed a lot of imagination. All elegant,<br />
all tasteful, all fun.<br />
Here’s a flash from the small world department:<br />
As we prepare to celebrate PYC’s<br />
Centennial, guess who stopped by long<br />
before the club’s beginnings. If you’ve<br />
checked our 2005 Calendar, you’ll notice<br />

our PYC Auction is scheduled for<br />
November 4. Turns out that Meriwether<br />
Lewis and William Clark went paddling by<br />
the site of <strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> exactly 200<br />
years ago, on November 4, 1805.<br />
They camped the night of November 3 on<br />
Diamond Island (now Government<br />
Island), then headed toward the Pacific on<br />
the 4th. Their journals note they named<br />
Tomahawk Island because Clark’s tomahawk<br />
pipe was stolen there, and they called<br />
what is now Hayden Island, “Image Canoe<br />
Island” because of the ornamental Indian<br />
canoes they saw there. (There are some<br />
pretty ornamental canoes here now!) Wait<br />
till the Auction Committee gets to work on this!<br />
Speaking of committees, one of the best<br />
ways for new (and not-so-new) members to<br />
get acquainted and have more fun is to help<br />
out on a committee. Just call one of the<br />
committee chairs (listed in the January<br />
Portlight) or call the office.<br />
Urgent! Urgent! You must have your Crab<br />
Feed reservations in by <strong>Feb</strong>ruary 3.<br />
Remember, attendance is limited to 390 people.<br />
There are two Education Dock sessions in<br />
<strong>Feb</strong>ruary, one a CPR/AED class on the<br />
12th, and a Diesel Seminar on the 26th. I<br />
understand there’s a plot afoot to tell stories<br />
about your commodore’s engines.<br />
We’re also looking forward to the <strong>Feb</strong>. 11<br />
Valentine’s Cookout, and the Open House<br />
for Prospective Members on <strong>Feb</strong>. 20.<br />
Prospects who indicated an interest at the<br />
Boat Show or otherwise, will be invited,<br />
and the Membership Committee will ask an<br />
equal number of members to join the group.<br />
The first weekend of the <strong>Portland</strong> Boat<br />
Show was packed, and PYC’s booth was<br />
getting a lot of attention. Membership<br />
committee chairs Doug Foster and Bob<br />
Bishop updated the booth, complete with<br />
a non-stop computer slide show on a 42-<br />
inch monitor.<br />
Our membership incentive program is in<br />
effect all year. Just sponsor a new<br />
Boatowning or Active member, and you<br />
will be awarded one month’s free dues, His<br />
& Hers PYC t-shirts, 10 drink tickets and a<br />
PYC Cookbook. Once your new member is<br />
approved by the Board of Trustees, you’ll<br />
receive your prizes.<br />
The club’s new workboat has been put into<br />
service, after a bit of reconditioning at Sells.<br />
Our newest Trustees, Tom Brusco, Walt<br />
Witschard and Bob Bishop, are the judges<br />
for the Name the Boat contest, so we<br />
should know the name of the successor to<br />
Miss PYC sometime this month.<br />
Here’s a harbinger of spring, in case you’re<br />
getting tired of winter: our Spring Cruise is<br />
only a little over six weeks away!<br />

MANAGER’S REPORT<br />
O<br />
ur annual Crab<br />
Feed will be happening<br />
right after you<br />
receive this Portlight.<br />
Several things to remember<br />
are that a maximum of<br />
eight reservations can be<br />
made for this event, and saving places for<br />
your friends can be a problem. If you save a<br />
place for a friend, please be sure they know<br />
about it. Your friend may have planned to sit<br />
somewhere else! When this happens, empty<br />
seats have names on them and go unused.<br />
I hope you noticed what a great job John<br />
Naviaux and Jack Mitchum did on our new<br />
storeroom. It looks like it has always been<br />
there. They worked very hard on this project.<br />
Volunteers make a big difference in the<br />
success of our club.<br />
PROSPECTIVE MEMBER OPEN HOUSE<br />
T<br />
he Open House that’s not exactly open. On <strong>Feb</strong>ruary 20, PYC will hold<br />
an Open House for prospective members who have indicated interest in<br />
membership during the <strong>Portland</strong> Boat Show or otherwise. This "open house" is not a<br />
general open house for all members. After it is determined how many prospects will<br />
attend, an equal number of PYC members will be asked to match up with prospects.<br />
As many of you already know, Chris Norman<br />
has moved on with her life. She was such a<br />
great addition to our staff. We will miss her<br />
very much. Chris said that she may be able<br />
to help out at large events. We wish her<br />
good luck in her future endeavors.<br />
Fred Carter,<br />
<strong>Club</strong> Manager<br />

KNOW YOUR ROW–2005 COOKOUT THEME<br />
Y<br />
our 2005 Cookout Committee announces “Know Your Row”<br />
to help club members get better acquainted with their neighbors.<br />
Each month, one Friday night cookout will honor a row(s). We will<br />
identify everyone in the honored row(s) so that you can have a drink<br />
together and eat together if you want. Those attending will be in a<br />
drawing for a free cookout dinner for two (but you’ll still have to bring<br />
your own entrée.)<br />
Can you be a row “sponsor?” You only need to make a few phone calls<br />
to your fellow row mates and remind them to come to the cookout.<br />
Call Rod & Judy Wells at 360.693.7080 or Robby & Nancy Zetlmaier<br />
at 360.694.8852 if you can be a sponsor.<br />
We hope you come and enjoy each and every cookout in 2005!<br />

2005 ENTERTAINMENT<br />
T<br />
he New Year is underway, with your<br />
Entertainment Committee hard at<br />
work to make it a fine year for our club. We<br />
already have two events under our belt,<br />
with many more to come for your enjoyment.<br />
New Year’s Eve came in very rainy, but for<br />
those inside the club it was a walk in Paris.<br />
Kudos to Ed and Sue Burns for really “putting<br />
on the ritz” for the club. The theme was<br />
wonderful and carried out well through the<br />
decorations and props they arranged for us.<br />
A delicious dinner was catered by Sam<br />
Allen’s Monarch Hotel, as well as breakfast<br />
items for the survivors. We had many compliments<br />
on having the buffet set up right<br />
in the middle of the dance floor. It made<br />
dinner much more intimate for all. After<br />
dinner, the tables were cleared and everyone<br />
enjoyed a night of dancing, with music<br />
provided by Sand Point.<br />
At midnight the balloon drop became a<br />
stomping festival, since we stuff some of<br />
the balloons with drink tickets. This is<br />
always fun. It turned out to be an unexpectedly<br />
small group this year, but most<br />
in attendance agreed that it was just the<br />
right size crowd. Your Entertainment<br />
Committee thanks all who attended for<br />
your continued support of the club. Also,<br />
a special thanks to Skip and Mary Ann<br />
Nitchie and Fred and Kay Koudele who<br />
volunteered to help decorate.<br />
The Commodore’s Ball was a rousing success,<br />
with 122 attending. Once again, the Monarch<br />
Hotel did a magnificent job catering, supplying<br />
a fabulous steak dinner. Master of<br />
Ceremonies, John Colby, led us through<br />
the time-honored “transfer of power” and<br />
Gordon Ralph directed the traditional<br />
Grand March, which is always a crowd<br />
favorite! Sand Point rounded out the evening<br />
with music for everyone’s dancing pleasure.<br />
The annual Crab Feed happens on<br />
<strong>Feb</strong>ruary 5th. This is typically a sell out, so<br />
I hope you got your reservation in early. We<br />
apologize for not putting the price of the<br />
event in the last issue, but at printing time,<br />
the market price for the crab had not been<br />
set. Although we did not expect a large<br />
change from the previous year, we still<br />
needed to be certain what the cost would<br />
be due, to the volume of crab that we order.<br />
As you can see, we are charging ahead into<br />
the New Year, to make this one to remember<br />
as we count down to our 100 year<br />
anniversary in 2008. Please be sure to contact<br />
us if you would like to help with any of<br />
our functions this year. Helping hands are<br />
always welcome, and it is a great way to<br />
meet others and make good friends. This is<br />
OUR club, and it’s the best!<br />

CHRISTMAS SHIPS<br />
S<br />
turdy PYC Members<br />
Brave Christmas Ships<br />
Hats off to two PYC members<br />
who exhibited the endurance to<br />
make their boats part of the<br />
Christmas Ships! Each year Dan<br />
Dishongh and Vickie Palmer<br />
magically transform their boat,<br />
Emerald Isle, into a Santa paddling<br />
a canoe. Their boat participated<br />
nightly on the Willamette<br />
leg of the pre-Christmas parade,<br />
while Ron and Linda Nurss lit up<br />
Jazzy to look like the Little<br />
Drummer Boy. Several members<br />
of the PYC sailing fleet added to<br />
holiday festivities by lighting up<br />
their stays in the open moorage.

WINTER MEMORIES
PAGE 9 | The Portlight | 02.05<br />
GROWING UP AT PYC<br />
W<br />
hen I was young, my father resigned<br />
his position with the Studebaker<br />
Corporation because they wanted to transfer<br />
him to another part of the country. He<br />
wanted to stay in the Northwest. Then the<br />
Wall Street crash of ’29 occurred, and he<br />
was out of a job.<br />
He was Vice-Commodore of <strong>Portland</strong><br />
<strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> at the time, and the board was<br />
considering hiring an on-site manager.<br />
They offered him the job, at least for the<br />
summer… he stayed for 15 years! His title<br />
was Port Captain, so he became known as<br />
“Cap.” We moved into quarters above the<br />
ballroom in the old club house. When the<br />
new club house was built, the old one was sold,<br />
and moved to a location on Interstate Avenue.<br />
The only transportation available in those<br />
days, other than the auto, was the streetcar.<br />
It came down Union Avenue (now Martin<br />
Luther King, Jr., Blvd) to Columbia Blvd.<br />
At that point, it took off on a trestle to<br />
Faloma Street and then across the slough to<br />
Hayden Island, where it linked up with the<br />
Interstate Bridge and continued on into<br />
Vancouver. To this day, the end of the old<br />
trestle pilings and rocks has a green marker<br />
that you pass as you travel down the slough<br />
toward the I-5 bridge.<br />
One winter the river froze over from bank<br />
to bank. It was rumored that a car was driven<br />
across and a sternwheeler was trapped in<br />
the ice for a while. One spring the river<br />
came up to within a few inches of the ballroom<br />
floor. The river was much higher during<br />
the flood of 1948, when the water was<br />
4-5 feet deep over the floor, but it was still<br />
kind of scary living there at the time.<br />
In those years, the club had quite a few members<br />
who owned canoes, small sailboats and<br />
runabouts such as Chris-Craft, Dodge, etc.<br />
They were dry stored in a large floating<br />
building. Some were light enough to be<br />
picked up and carried to storage racks.<br />
Others entered a slip and were picked up by a<br />
hoist that traveled on an overhead I-beam,<br />
pushed into the house, and lowered onto<br />
a cradle. Since the cradles had casters on<br />
them, they could be pushed around into<br />
their storage spaces.<br />
Mother (Mauni) cooked dinner for the<br />
Board of Directors before their monthly<br />
meetings for a period of time. She also was<br />
asked to take over the job of bookkeeper. It<br />
was a position she enjoyed and continued<br />
doing for 40 plus years. Many of you may<br />
not know that PYC’s Mauni Elliott sailboat<br />
races are named after my mother.<br />
Activity on the river was pretty slow until<br />
the first Saturday in May (Opening Day,)<br />
just as it is now. Opening Day was an all<br />
day affair with flag raising ceremonies, the<br />
boat parade, sailboat races, an afternoon<br />
tea, and a formal dance. Of course, we were<br />
the only club around in those days.<br />
There were cruises to Willow Bar (the present<br />
site of our Outstation) and to the Lewis<br />
River where a farmer would bring fresh<br />
strawberries, cream, and the Sunday papers<br />
down to the boats that were tied to the<br />
bank. The big summer cruise was the<br />
Rooster Rock Barbeque. We would put up<br />
large tents for serving food, awarding<br />
prizes, and providing shade for the pop, ice<br />
cream, and beer. The drinks and ice cream<br />
were buried in the sand with lots of ice and<br />
wet burlap over the top. There were swimming<br />
races, dinghy races, sack and three-legged<br />
races. Also, a nail driving contest, soft ball<br />
throw, and many other events. Cap would<br />
hit up all the local merchants for donations<br />
to be awarded as prizes. But the best thing<br />
about the cruise was the barbeque. We took<br />
an old southern black gentleman named<br />
George Washington Jackson with us to the<br />
park. On Saturday, with some help from<br />
the kids, he would get his pit dug. He’d get<br />
up very early Sunday morning and start his<br />
fires. Then in the afternoon we would get<br />
wonderful pork ribs, beef ribs, and lamb all<br />
mopped with his “secret sauce.” It was<br />
wonderful, and everyone would go home<br />
with a full tummy and probably a sunburn.<br />
Though not an official cruise, quite a few<br />
members took their vacation time at the<br />
end of August and first part of September<br />
to cruise to Ilwaco. You could go fishing,<br />
sightseeing or hiking, and of course, there<br />
were the great raised glazed doughnuts at<br />
the local bakery. One of our members loved<br />
the kids, and he would organize us to hike<br />
to the beach and collect firewood. Then<br />
that night everyone would go to the beach<br />
for a huge bonfire and wiener roast. After a<br />
week or so, we’d cruise to Astoria for their<br />
annual Regatta, which was bigger than it is<br />
now. All sorts of races were held—fish boat,<br />
sailboat, speedboat, etc. Usually a big name<br />
band came to town and added to the festivities.<br />
Everybody usually went home after Labor Day.<br />
Sailing and sailboat racing were gaining in<br />
popularity on the Columbia. At one time<br />
or other we had organized classes of 16’<br />
Snipes, 18’ Flatties, and 28’ Crods. Also,<br />
there were usually a couple of handicap<br />
classes. There were some odd things done<br />
in those days, such as starting or finishing a<br />
race at the gas dock, or sailing through the<br />
cut between Hayden and Tomahawk<br />
Island, which is now filled in. There was a<br />
large gilnetter fleet in those days, and they<br />
mostly lived on the Oregon shore, downriver<br />
from PYC. Occasionally, a gilnetter<br />
would pick up a race buoy in his net,<br />
although we tried to set them as far inshore<br />
as possible. Cap would get in the work boat<br />
and go down to their place and with the<br />
“possible” help of a bottle of bourbon,<br />
barter with the gilnetter to get the buoys back!<br />
December 7, 1941 brought about a lot of<br />
changes. Many members joined the U.S.<br />
Coast Guard Auxiliary. They painted their<br />
boats “Battleship Grey” and put large white<br />
CGA numbers on the bows. Once or twice<br />
a week, we would patrol various facilities<br />
along the river from sundown to sunup. Of<br />
course, we got to watch them building the<br />
Vancouver Shipyards and then the ships. As<br />
I recall, one of the first ships launched ran<br />
aground on the tip of Tomahawk Island…<br />

EDUCATION DOCK<br />
The Education Committee continues to bring you a great slate<br />
of Saturday Sessions in 2005. Hope to see you there!<br />
2/12 9:00 AM<br />
CPR/AED Class–Kevin Shanders, <strong>Portland</strong> Fire Bureau<br />
<strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> has an AED. It will be carried to the Outstation or on other Cruises so that it<br />
will be available in the event of an emergency. We want to have all members trained on CPR and the<br />
AED so we can provide lifesaving aid to people suffering sudden cardiac arrest.<br />
2/26 9:00 AM<br />
3/05 9:00 AM<br />
3/12 9:00 AM<br />
1:30 PM<br />
•Why should people who are responsible for operating an AED receive CPR training? Early CPR is an integral part of providing lifesaving aid<br />
to people suffering sudden cardiac arrest. The ventilation and compression skills learned in a CPR class help to circulate oxygen-rich blood<br />
to the brain. After delivering a series of three electric shocks, the typical AED will prompt the operator to continue CPR while the device<br />
continues to analyze the patient.<br />
•If AEDs are so easy to use, why do people need formal training in how to use them? An AED operator must know how to recognize the signs<br />
of a sudden cardiac arrest, when to activate the EMS system, and how to do CPR. It's also important for operators to receive formal training<br />
on the AED model they will use so that they become familiar with the device and are able to successfully operate it in an emergency.<br />
Training also teaches the operator how to avoid potentially hazardous situations.<br />
•What kind of training on AEDs will we do? The AHA has developed a new Heartsaver AED Course that integrates CPR and AED training<br />
in a hands-on environment. The course is 3 1/2 to 4 hours long. All persons that take the class will receive a Certification Card from the<br />
American Heart Association.<br />
DIESEL SEMINAR–Dr. Diesel, aka Ted Leonardi, PYC and Dale Price, Diesel Mechanic Extraordinaire.<br />
Back by popular demand, don’t miss it!<br />
Boater Education Card Review and Test–Holt Cookingham, USPS<br />
If you plan on attending, please pick up and read the self-study materials at the club before attending<br />
so you can get the maximum from the review and pass the test. It is official! If you’re 45 or under, you<br />
now need a Boater Education Card to operate a boat greater than 10 HP in Oregon. Boaters older<br />
than 45 will be phased into the program in future years. Skippers, first mates, owners, admirals, crew<br />
and significant others should get a card now! To get your card, come to the class for a review of the<br />
available self-study materials and take the equivalency exam proctored by Holt Cookingham.<br />
Future of Marine Electronics–Furuno and Rogers Marine<br />
Cruising to Alaska–Margo Woods, Charlie’s Charts<br />
