Grosse Ile Yacht Club Newsletter
OCTOBER 2014
View From the Helm
Well, the GIYC-based Rendezvous over the weekend of September 12th turned out to be a lot of
fun. Over 30 people showed up on Friday night on Peek-a-Boo for the cocktail hour and appetizers, and then moved to the Club for a cookout prepared on the upper deck. Several stayed overnight on their boats, and were treated to a great breakfast on Saturday morning. Saturday night
was the wrap-up party, and after an Island-themed dinner, the results of the 2014 Rendezvous
were revealed. While not everyone could attend every rendezvous (except Lynne and myself), the
points leaders shifted as the year went on. After all was said and done, and counting the points
awarded for the weekend’s rendezvous, PC Terry McCarthy and Tilley Rice were the Grand Prize
winners, and were presented with a certificate for a “Hot Air Balloon Ride for Two.” 2nd and 3rd
place prizes were awarded to PC John Clark and Lady Ruth and PC Bruce Milkins and Lady Diane, respectively. We concluded the evening with the launching of a sky lantern from the front
lawn to symbolize the end of “Around the Islands in 200 Days” and to look forward to the 2015
rendezvous being planned by VC Balazy. Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2014 Rendezvous – I hope you had as much fun as we did. And special thanks to the Committees who
planned and executed some great weekends.
We had a blast at the “Back to School Night” party on September 19th organized by our Entertainment Chairs Deb Green and Al Hickman. With the music of John Persico as a backdrop, and
decorations of school sweaters and yearbooks, many brave members sang their school “fight”
songs, and surprisingly (or not) they weren’t all from Michigan schools. I couldn’t remember my
High School or College songs, but that was probably a good thing. By the way, John Persico will
be back for three more performances on October 17th, November 14th, and December 19th. If
you haven’t heard him yet, you will really enjoy the diversity of his music selections.
The next big event coming up is “Meet the Candidates / New Member Appreciation Night” on Friday, October 3rd. Here you will have a chance to meet the candidates running for the 3 open
Board of Directors and Rear Commodore positions, as well as the many new members who have
joined GIYC this year. Speaking of the candidates, your Nominating Committee has put together
an impressive slate of candidates. Running for Board of Directors are Larry Curran, Gary Dust,
Ron Palmer, Karen Rouleau, Bob Schafer, and Alan Tecmire. Your Rear Commodore candidate
is Dr. Rob Carrier. You can read their bios later in this issue. Please stop in, enjoy the complimentary appetizers, have dinner, and talk with the candidates. You have important decisions to
make for the future of GIYC at the Election Night the following Friday, October 10th. Thanks to
the Nominating Committee for securing the list of candidates!!
On the heels of the elections is the Casino Night on Saturday, October 11th. While it is advertised
as “Casinophobia” for those who haven’t yet tried casino games, it is going to be equally as much
fun for the seasoned gamblers. You’ll have a chance to win real prizes while playing with “funny
money.” Make sure you make your reservation early, as there is a limit of 60 players.
September was actually a rather “quiet” month for Lady Lynne and me as we represented GIYC at
a few events: reception at Detroit Beach Boat Club, the Detroit Boat Club Commodore’s Brunch,
and the Jet Express trip to Put-in-Bay for the “Closing of the Island.” It’s only a brief reprieve as
the fall Ball schedule ramps up again in October.
See you at the Club!! Dick Savage, Commodore

Rear Commodore's Rumblings
I am writing this at 35,000 feet, as Lady Susan and I return from a bike tour in Sonoma Valley
wine country, and visiting daughter Kelsey in San Francisco. With 60+ miles of pedaling up
(ugh!) and down (whew!) the hills of Northern California for 3 days, and stops at 11 different wineries for tastings of more types of wine than I can fathom, this dedicated beer drinker still can't tell
the difference between a Chardonnay and a Sauvignon Blanc, or a Pinot and a Zinfandel; I just
know that I like white wine better than red, and know that I enjoyed the experience enough that I
can't wait to begin the winemaking class later this month with VC Mark Balazy and Lady
Heather. This now annual club event has grown bigger with each year. Everyone who has participated tells me it's a blast, wine connoisseur or not. I'd like to encourage you to join us, and try
your hand at winemaking. I'm told you can even design and make your own labels!
The winemaking class is just the beginning of a very busy month at GIYC. Meet the candidates new member night, election night, football Saturdays, Casino Night, and Trunk or Treat at the end
of the month - and some of us are still trying to get in a few last days on the water before haul out!
By the way, don't forget to turn in your haul out/storage applications before Peek a Boo is all filled
up!
The activity and fun just never ends at GIYC!!
------------------------------------------------The members of Grosse Ile Yacht Club send our sincere condolences this month to the family of
Randy Bussell, whose father passed away last month.
We would also like to send out our condolences to the family of Kathy Coolsaet, whose mother
passed away last month.
Finally, we also send our condolences to the family of Steve Lewis, whose father passed away
last month.
Your yacht club family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
GIYC Rear Commodore
Matt DuBois
"I'm Just Sayin......" Rear Commodore's Rumblings
Random thoughts as we wing it back east to home sweet home:
- I'm writing this 35,000 feet above the ground, moving in an aluminum tube with 300 other people, at over 550 mph,
with the temperature outside the window a balmy -57 degrees. We're 4,000 feet higher than the top of Mt Everest, And
I sit here in shorts and sandals, listening to Peter, Paul and Mary singing "Leaving on a Jet Plane" (no kidding, that just
came up on the shuffle) on a device smaller than a pack of chewing gum, with headphones that block out all the outside noise, and plays the music better than the original recording, and getting ready to sip a cold drink. Just stop and
think about all that for a minute.......in a little over 4 hours, we travelled further (and in unimagined- for them, at least,
comfort), than it took the average traveler over a week to do just 100 years ago. And all we do is complain about how
much it costs, how long it takes, how uncomfortable we are, and how inconvenient it all is. We are so lucky to live
where we do, when we do, and how we do. It really is the living embodiment of Disney's Carousel of Progress (my favorite attraction at Disney World, by the way) - we really do live in the most advanced civilization and time in history - I
can't even imagine what's coming next - and I can't wait!
----------------------------------------------Dr. D's Movie Quiz
Finally, the movie quiz for October! First, congratulations to last month's winners, Eric Heilmann, Todd Duffett, Karl
Diener , and John Darzinski, who correctly identified Donald Sutherland, as "Hawkeye" Pierce, and Elliot Gould as
"Trapper" John McIntyre, uttering the famous line, " ....we, madam, are the pros from Dover, and we are here to crack
open this kid's chest and get onto the golf course before sunset...." from one of the most irreverent war movies of all
time -" M*A*S*H ". A three pack of golf balls to each of these winners! Congrats!! (And yes the prizes will be coming
later this month to all the winners of the past few months)
And now for this month's quiz - in honor of one of my favorite directors, Francis Ford Coppola, whose winery in Sonoma we visited this last week, where did this immortal line come from?
".....I love the smell of napalm in the morning - it smells like victory!....."
What was the movie title, who was the actor who said it, what was his character's name, and as a bonus, where was
the filming done (which plays an important, ironic part of the story of the movie)? Email me your answers. Good luck,
and see you around the club!

2015 BOARD OF DIRECTORS NOMINEE BIOGRAPHIES
Karen Rouleau
Larry Curran
I’m running for one of the positions on the board. My
husband Chuck and I became members of Grosse Ile Yacht
Club just over a year ago and it has been one of our best
decisions.
I have been nominated to run for a three year term for the
Board of Directors.
We have been married a little over 43 years and 40 of those
years we have been boating. I’ve been retired 4 years but
before that I held many positions which included HR/Office
Manager/Accounts Receivable/Accounts Payable and
Payroll Manager.
My wife, Linda and I are proud members of the Grosse Ile
Yacht Club. We have three grown children, Carey, Kelly
and Larry. Two son-in-laws, Erik Ranka and Mike Born
and three grandchildren, Andrew, Nicholas and Michael.
I am the President and owner of JJ Curran Crane Company, Curran Lifting Systems and Fleet Cost & Care.
I’m presently taking care of the work hours for the club members. I’ve been attending the monthly Board Meetings and I
worked on the 4th of July Gala. I’ve enjoyed being involved
with the club and getting to know the members.
I have been a member of Grosse Ile Golf and Country
Club for over 36 years. I am currently serving my second
term as a Board of Director. During my first term I served
as Director, Treasurer, Vice President and President in
2003.
You can usually find Chuck and I spending every week-end
on our 31 Tiara (Persistence IV) along with our two yorkies
Nikki and Heidi just enjoying being on the water and
activities going on at the club.
Linda and I have been members of Grosse Ile Yacht Club
since May of 2010 and have truly enjoyed our years as
members.
Gary Dust

Current GIYC Board member, co-chair Docks
Past BOD member of Grosse Ile Community Sailing
Past fleet captain, fleet surgeon and race chair
Boat—30' Chris Craft - Soggy Dollar
Past Junior and Senior race committee's
Hoist operator
As a current power owner and well holder and past sailboat
owner, I would appreciate your vote to continue serving on
the Board of Directors. Your support to continue the work of
improving the docks, harbor and waterfront, an ongoing
desire of the membership, as indicated in the recent long
range planning survey would help me continue this work.
I run for the Board of Directors with no agenda but
believe my career and club experience will help guide
Grosse Ile Yacht Club in the future if elected.
