HEAR N THERE<br />
Our Hear N There guest this week?<br />
Our July people already know<br />
this but we thought our August<br />
people would like to know that<br />
“Our new neighbor, sort of” is<br />
Her Eminence, Taylor Swift,<br />
who has recently bought a<br />
house on Watch Hill in Rhode<br />
Island for <strong>the</strong> mere price of<br />
17.7 million, thatʼs dollars, folks!<br />
Taylor and her pal, Her Wonderfulness,<br />
Selena Gomez,<br />
were seen at The Bridge Ice<br />
Cream store in Mystic. Now<br />
donʼt you wish you were here in<br />
July?..... Moving on... News<br />
from <strong>the</strong> South Shore Murphyʼs.<br />
Billy will be up from Atlanta on<br />
vacation from his job at<br />
SunTrust for <strong>the</strong> first week in<br />
August-- hopes to help out with<br />
<strong>the</strong> Jr. Sailing Regatta and connect<br />
with GLP friends. Right<br />
after that, Mollie is heading off<br />
to London to begin a teaching<br />
job at <strong>the</strong> International<br />
Community School. She is<br />
moving on from her position at<br />
Girls Prep Charter School in <strong>the</strong><br />
Bronx. She actually postponed<br />
her flight so that she could see<br />
Billy before she leaves,<br />
although everyone is looking<br />
forward to visiting her in <strong>the</strong><br />
Our new neighbor, sort of!<br />
UK....... Thursday Pasta Night<br />
was so successful last week<br />
and so much fun! We took a lot<br />
of pictures and promise to get<br />
<strong>the</strong>m into <strong>the</strong> paper next week.<br />
But we had so much going on<br />
this week that we had to cover.<br />
At Pasta Night we promised <strong>the</strong><br />
Palominoʼs that <strong>the</strong>y would get<br />
into <strong>the</strong> paper because <strong>the</strong>y<br />
have never been in before and<br />
<strong>the</strong>y will be in - just not this<br />
week.... Sally and John Huss<br />
are usually at all <strong>the</strong> tennis<br />
finals and we thought weʼd see<br />
<strong>the</strong>m at <strong>the</strong> Menʼs Singles<br />
finals. Sally likes to enjoy a cold<br />
Coke while she watches and<br />
her nephew, Charlie Newell,<br />
was playing in <strong>the</strong> finals. But,<br />
we were informed, Sally and<br />
Johnʼs son, Robbie, and his<br />
wife, Carroll, had just had a little<br />
baby girl named Adele Anne<br />
who weighed in at 9 pounds.<br />
So, John and Sally went home<br />
to meet her. Weʼre sorry we<br />
missed seeing you at tennis but<br />
we understand!<br />

East Dock<br />
Danger Advisory<br />
In <strong>the</strong> past, our community<br />
has experienced a few frightening<br />
incidents requiring rescue<br />
off East Dock, known to some<br />
as “Big Dock.” While many of<br />
us love <strong>the</strong> thrill of leaping off<br />
<strong>the</strong> dock or playing a spirited<br />
game of matchstick, it is<br />
absolutely vital that all residents,<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir children, <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
renters, and <strong>the</strong>ir guests be<br />
aware of <strong>the</strong> real danger of<br />
swimming off East Dock. The<br />
current that flows past <strong>the</strong> dock<br />
can move extremely quickly,<br />
and can even endanger <strong>the</strong><br />
lives of experienced swimmers,<br />
by sweeping people out<br />
towards <strong>the</strong> sound and<br />
exhausting <strong>the</strong>ir attempts to<br />
return to <strong>the</strong> dock. Young children,<br />
even those who can<br />
swim, should NEVER swim off<br />
<strong>the</strong> dock, and should instead<br />
swim at one of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Point</strong>ʼs lovely<br />
beaches. Even older children<br />
and adults who can swim<br />
should not swim off East Dock<br />
unless <strong>the</strong>y are truly strong<br />
swimmers.<br />

If you are swimming off <strong>the</strong><br />
dock and find yourself being<br />
pulled out by <strong>the</strong> current, donʼt<br />
fight it by trying to swim directly<br />
back to <strong>the</strong> dock. This would<br />
tire you out. Instead, swim at<br />
an angle to <strong>the</strong> shore. If thatʼs<br />
not possible, float on your back<br />
until <strong>the</strong> pull of <strong>the</strong> current<br />
lessens, and <strong>the</strong>n swim diagonally<br />
to shore.<br />
Anyone who chooses to swim<br />
off <strong>the</strong> dock does so at his or<br />
her own risk, but as a community<br />
we obviously want to<br />
encourage people to make safe<br />
choices regarding swimming<br />
here at <strong>the</strong> <strong>Point</strong>. We do post<br />
warning signs and provide life<br />
rings. However, no measure<br />
replaces <strong>the</strong> power of good<br />
judgment, parental supervision,<br />
and open communication with<br />
guests and renters to ensure<br />
that all people enjoying summers<br />
at <strong>Groton</strong> <strong>Long</strong> <strong>Point</strong><br />
make <strong>the</strong> best choices for <strong>the</strong><br />
safety of <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
families.<br />
Thank you.<br />
