COMMODORE’S COMMENTS<br />

<strong>Dec</strong>ember…..<br />
D<br />
i a n e<br />
and I<br />
would like to<br />
thank everyone<br />
for the honor of<br />
being your Commodore<br />
and First<br />
Lady for 2006! When I became your 2006<br />
Commodore, my main objective was to<br />
make <strong>Portland</strong> <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> healthier and<br />
stronger. As the year draws to a close, I<br />
honestly believe the <strong>Club</strong> is better today<br />
than a year ago. We’ve built on our heritage,<br />
increased our membership, and had<br />
lots of fun!! Throughout the year, our committees<br />
and <strong>Club</strong> staff were very dedicated,<br />
creating and organizing a wide mixture of<br />
activities for all our members throughout<br />
the year. Besides just having more members,<br />
many of our new members bring innovative<br />
vitality and thoughts that will propel PYC<br />
far ahead into the future. With an increase<br />

in membership, the <strong>Club</strong> will be able to<br />
pursue new activities and expand opportunities<br />
for all our members. 2007 will be<br />
another phenomenal year at PYC!<br />
We are in the process of installing new<br />
entry gates and security system at the<br />
<strong>Club</strong> and N row gate that will record who<br />
and when someone enters. Once the system<br />
is operational, new entry devices will<br />
be made available to our members. The<br />
Board is also considering several improvements/processes<br />
to better provide a safer<br />
environment for all. Security should always<br />
be every member’s concern so please<br />
do your share by not propping a gate open<br />
or loaning your access device to non members.<br />
A bit of inconvenience will go a long<br />
way towards making the <strong>Club</strong> grounds secure.<br />
A sub-group of this year’s and next year’s<br />
House and Grounds Committee worked<br />
together on a recommendation for the<br />
long awaited renovation of the bar area.<br />
The House and Grounds Committee recommended<br />
and the Board approved the<br />
design. In addition to rotating the Bar and<br />
opening up the area, a new seating area is<br />
proposed that will utilize the North end of<br />
the existing Ballroom. Hopefully you will<br />
start seeing progress soon, in and around<br />
the <strong>Club</strong>’s bar.<br />
Witches, Goblins, and a wide variety of<br />
other scary creatures graced the <strong>Club</strong> for<br />
the ‘Witches Ball’ hosted by the Entertainment<br />
Committee. The decorations<br />
were incredible, the band perfect, and the<br />
evening very enjoyable.<br />
Looking ahead at <strong>Dec</strong>ember’s Mix:<br />
• Two Cookouts are planned this month –<br />
a movie night (<strong>Dec</strong>ember 1st) and an Ornament<br />
Exchange Cookout (<strong>Dec</strong>ember<br />
15th). Ideally everyone brings a wrapped<br />
ornament and during the cookout, we will<br />
have an exchange. Typically it’s a vastly<br />
entertaining evening as members will have<br />
opportunities to change which ornament<br />
they finally have in their possession at the<br />
end. Also that night, the Christmas Ships<br />
will pass in front of the <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
• The Ladies’ Holiday Dinner - Christmas<br />
Memories Dinner (<strong>Dec</strong>ember 6th)<br />
will be a special evening for all our Ladies.<br />
The <strong>Club</strong>house will be decorated for the<br />
Holidays and the evening dinner, Holiday<br />
festivities, and seasonal entertainment will<br />
greatly enhance everyone’s Holiday spirit.<br />
• PYC’s Annual Children’s Christmas Party<br />
(<strong>Dec</strong>ember 10th) always is tremendous<br />
fun for all children, grandchildren, and the<br />
child in all of us.<br />
• Hopefully this year we will not have snow<br />
for PYC’s Member Only Open House (<strong>Dec</strong>ember<br />
17th). This is a <strong>Club</strong> funded event<br />
and usually one of the largest turnouts of<br />
members throughout the year. Customary<br />
Dress for this event is coat and tie for men<br />
and cocktail or festive dress for the ladies.<br />
• PYC typically throws a spectacular New<br />
Year’s Eve party and this next one is no exception!<br />
Plan on being at the <strong>Club</strong> for all<br />
the festivities that will go long into 2007!<br />
• Men’s golf continues each Wednesday for<br />
the real devoted. Our Bridge <strong>Club</strong> meets<br />
on the 21st and each Friday Happy Hour<br />
starts at 3 PM.<br />
On behalf of Diane, and myself I’d like to<br />
close by thanking everyone who has made<br />
2006 outstanding – all the committee<br />
chairs and members, the <strong>Club</strong>’s 2006 Officers<br />
and Trustees, the <strong>Club</strong> Staff, and all<br />
our members! Our memories of this special<br />
year and the countless hours of everyone’s<br />
efforts to make the year unique will last our<br />
lifetimes –<br />
Thanks to everyone for Joining the<br />
Mix in 2006.<br />

MANAGER’S REPORT<br />
T<br />
he Holiday season is<br />
upon us again. Time<br />
is moving at an ever-increasing<br />
rate it seems. I can remember<br />
just writing about the start of<br />
the boating season. This <strong>Dec</strong>ember<br />
we will be busy with<br />
the Holidays as usual. The clubhouse will be<br />
decorated on Sunday <strong>Dec</strong>ember 3rd. The ladies’<br />
Holiday dinner will be on Wednesday the<br />
6th, the Children’s Christmas Party Sunday the<br />
10th, ornament exchange cookout plus Christmas<br />
Ships on Friday the 15th, our Holiday<br />
Open House on Sunday the 17th and of course<br />
our New Year’s Eve Party on Sunday the 31st. I<br />
hope that you will be able to spend some time<br />
during the holidays at the <strong>Club</strong>. It is always a<br />
special time of the year for us.<br />
We have had some exceptional weather in November<br />
as I write this column. It is always a<br />
good idea to check and recheck your mooring<br />
lines and boathouse chains to ensure that you<br />
are ready to withstand extreme weather. Make<br />
sure that you are not running small extension<br />
cords with heaters that can cause a potential<br />
fire.<br />
HISTORIAN’S CORNER<br />
T<br />
he Centennial is just a few months<br />
away and the <strong>Club</strong> is getting ready<br />
for this historic event. Just think, in a century,<br />
we have gone from 13 members and a 9 by 12<br />
float to 365 members and a 12,000 square foot<br />
clubhouse.<br />
We, the History Committee (Carol Smith, Larry<br />
Snyder and me) would like to hear anecdotes<br />
about the <strong>Club</strong>. To accomplish this, we will be<br />
available during Saturday’s lunches. You can talk<br />
and we will take your verbal history and add it<br />
to PYC’s.<br />
The most important man in <strong>Club</strong>’s history is<br />
our first Commodore George B. Kelly who<br />
founded the <strong>Club</strong> and then purchased the land<br />
where our <strong>Club</strong> and moorage is located. We<br />
would like to honor him by a trophy or something<br />
else at our Centennial. PLEASE GIVE<br />
US YOUR SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO<br />
HONOR HIM.<br />
Also, let us know of the oldest boats in the <strong>Club</strong><br />
so that they can be honored at the Centennial.<br />

to help us to have the best <strong>Yacht</strong> <strong>Club</strong> on the<br />
river. Doug Foster and all of his committees<br />
have worked very hard to make your experiences<br />

help. Have a great Holiday season.<br />

T<br />
he Witches’ Ball was where it was<br />
happening! Witches’ cauldrons<br />
were brewing, ghosts were howling and the<br />
evening was just plain spooky! Witches,<br />
warlocks, pirates and other scary characters<br />
roamed the dance floor as the music of<br />
“Pressure Point” filled the air. Tom Brusco,<br />
dressed as Merlin, caught everyone’s<br />
attention as he cast off demons with fiery<br />
magic. A fantastic dinner was served by<br />
Jim Hinkley and featured Witches’ ribs,<br />
Vampire repelling garlic mashed potatoes,<br />
squash medley, and Devil’s food cake. Diane<br />
Burns, Julie Hinkley, Barbara Peterson,<br />
Chase Brusco, Marianne Brusco, and Sharon<br />
Burns decorated the clubhouse in style.<br />
When the evening came to an end, all had<br />
enjoyed a great time dining and dancing<br />
through another great PYC event!<br />

GRAN PROMERIGGIO DIVERTIMENTO<br />
A<br />
slightly rainy Sunday afternoon<br />
proved to be a perfect backdrop<br />
to November’s scheduled Tour of Italian<br />
Wines held this year at the <strong>Club</strong>. Italian<br />
wine expert, Ken Buck, shared his<br />
experiences and knowledge of the Italian<br />
wine regions and the fabulous products of<br />
the centuries old vineyards. The 50 plus<br />
members and guests enjoyed tasting a wide<br />
selection of some of the finest Italian wines<br />
produced. Deanne Jones, one of PYC’s<br />
very dedicated <strong>Club</strong>house Crew, prepared<br />
an extensive variety of exceptional Italian<br />
hor’s doerves that included fresh basil<br />
from her own garden. With Ken’s superb<br />
knowledge many members found the perfect<br />
wine to accompany their upcoming<br />
planned Holiday evenings. Viva Italia!!<br />

SUDDENLY ALONE<br />
S<br />
uddenly Alone is a course for<br />
cruising sailors, particularly for<br />
shorthanded cruising sailors, and most<br />
acutely for the less experienced member<br />
of a crew. The prospect of being suddenly<br />
alone is a daunting fear.<br />
Suppose, through injury, illness, or crew<br />
overboard, you were to find yourself suddenly<br />
alone. What would you do How<br />
would you handle it<br />
The Suddenly Alone curriculum, created<br />
under the auspices of the Bonnell<br />
Cove Foundation of the Cruising <strong>Club</strong> of<br />
America, is designed to give you the tools<br />
to prepare yourself to be suddenly alone.<br />
PYC<br />
BRIDGE<br />
After implementing the plans and going<br />
through the exercises taught at the seminar<br />
you will be prepared and “know you can<br />
handle it.”<br />
You’ll learn how to assess the situation, you<br />
will know your response options and priorities,<br />
and you will know how to implement<br />
your response. You will also learn preventive<br />
techniques to reduce the chances that<br />
you will ever be suddenly alone.<br />
The Suddenly Alone seminar is the first<br />
phase in completing the program. Each<br />
participant will leave the Suddenly Alone<br />
seminar with a course workbook which<br />
include a series of exercises necessary to<br />
NEW CALENDAR<br />
complete the course and build the skills<br />
and confidence to respond properly if Suddenly<br />
Alone.<br />
The North Sails loft is trying to gauge interest<br />
hosting the Suddenly Alone seminar<br />
created by North U. The course would be<br />
taught at the North sail loft or at PYC.<br />

PYC is always a very festive place during the Holidays. The<br />
Holiday Magic is even greater when our Boats and Boathouses are<br />

Diane and I will be decorating our boat with strings of colorful<br />
outdoor lights over the Thanksgiving weekend. So please join the<br />
fun by decorating your boat or boathouse!!<br />
We’d like all the boats and boathouses lit up by <strong>Dec</strong>ember 5th<br />

<strong>Dec</strong>ember (weather dependent).<br />
We’d also like to light up each row at night by putting lights on the<br />
row’s handrail via a photocell or timer. If you have outdoor light<br />
sets you’d like to contribute to the effort, please drop them off at<br />
the club (C7s or C9s). If you’d like to donate some electricity to<br />
your row’s festivities or help staple the light strings, please let the<br />
office or me know.<br />

Niagara<br />
Marilyn Monroe is a shameless hussy who<br />
wears skin-tight sweaters and flirts with anybody<br />
in long pants. Joseph Cotton is her<br />
long-suffering husband who, nonetheless,<br />
remains obsessed with her. On a vacation<br />
trip to Niagara Falls, everything unravels;<br />
Marilyn and her lover plot to kill Cotton<br />
by flinging him over the falls, but their plan<br />
goes awry in this fine noirish thriller. This<br />
time around, Marilyn even … sings!<br />
This is the last movie for 2006. Let us<br />
know what you would like to see. Do you<br />
have a favorite film that fits our format<br />
Cliff and I are reviewing films for showing<br />
at the club. We are watching lots of<br />
movies.<br />
Our format:<br />
1. Not much longer than 90 min.<br />
2. Features boating, cruising on the<br />
water, cruise ship, sailing, pirates…<br />
Just about anything on the water.<br />
3. Upbeat and fun. Classics.<br />
4. Musical Comedy is a plus.<br />
5. Singing welcomed<br />
6. Nostalgia encouraged.<br />
7. Goes with popcorn, milk duds and<br />
your favorite beverage.<br />
8. Multiple short subjects are great.<br />
