FLYING THE MACKINAC

Back in my WJR days, I knew little about the Grosse Pointes and even less about sailing. That all changed in the mid seventies when I received a call from the late Bayview Yacht Club Commodore Frank McBride. Frank was well known for providing bow to stern coverage of the famous Club's Port Huron to Mackinac sailboat race. J. P. McCarthy was an avid supporter of boating and the race and would do many reports on his show.

Frank knew I was a pilot and asked if I would like to fly the race as Bud Fruehauf’s co-pilot on the three day adventure. Well, you know my response! It was an exciting time chasing those boats, and flight crews don’t have to sleep at sea, so to speak. Our team was made up of Frank, Bud, me and Mary Brieden. Mary’s husband BJ and oldest son Bryan were both sailors in the Big “M” that first year I flew. My job was mostly navigation, meaning, pin pointing the position on the lake for the boats we flew over.

The Mack race is coming up this summer starting on July 16th. I asked another of Mary’s sons, BYC Vice

Commodore Hans Brieden about the changes he’s seen during his 30 or 31 races. Han’s has crewed an “all around” winner three times and has been on the 2nd or 3rd place boat a slew of times. He says time is the big difference now. It used to take three or four days. Now many of the boats cross the finish line in 48 hours. Hans also points out that the race has become a great family event. More women sail, more kids sail, and it just great for them. The fact that GPS tracking is so sophisticated is one reason the sailors don’t have airplanes following the fleet. I miss that.

Once again this year the Grosse Pointe War Memorial station, WMTV channel 5, will carry the race.

That’s a must for fans like me who will not be on the Island.

Have a great race guys (and gals). We’ll catch you at the Bayview bar in late July, and you can tell us all about it.

SMC Member Profile is taking a short vacation

SMC Sports News Bowling

The second half of the Bowling season ended in dramatic fashion with 4 teams in contension for First Place. Separated by only 4 points, Dick Rybinski's first Place team only managed 2 points on the final day to slip intoer Third Place with 59 points. Team #5 of Al La Turno, Fritz Bloy and Bob Grant took the remaining 5 points for a total of 60 points and a share of First Place. The Third Place team with 53 points swept their opponents for 7 points to gain a tie for First Place. In this match, Mike Bellovich and George Hatha-waywere 48 and 31 points overage to insure their win. This put Teams 5 and 1 into a one game roll off for the second half season championship. The Laturno team rolled a respectible 786 score, but it wasn't enough to overcome the 801 score posted by the Bellovich team lead by George Ha-thaway's game of 211 points. Now the stage was set for the Championship match of the First and Second Half champions on April 28, 2016. After three extremely close games adjusted for handicap, total pin fall would determine the win-ners. Team 1 amassed a score of 2380 points, only to be topped by Team 3's 2392 points, a difference of only 12 points. Congratulations to the 2016 Championship team: Don Leal, Carl Metzker, Steve Munerantz and Bob Vogler. It is indeed with deep sorrow to report that 3 former bowlers passed away this year: John Tre-ziak, Bob Waters, and Bob Chandler. May they all rest in peace.

Golf News

The Birmingham Men’s Club has again challenged the SMC golf league in a best ball scramble over nine holes, much like last year. The plan this year calls for eleven two-man teams on each side (22 golfers from each club) to compete during the nine-hole play. We have a commitment from some of our league members but we need a few more to complete the challenge team. The competition will play out on Tuesday, June 21, at the Lincoln Hills Golf Course (Fourteen Mile Road and Evergreen) with tee off at 9:00 am for a shotgun start. At the completion of the nine-hole competition we will have lunch, included in the package, and hear the results. The cost for each team member is $40 which covers green fees, cart, lunch and prizes. If you are interested in participating, please contact Bob Vogler at (313)882-9636. If you are accepted on the team, you will be expected to send a check for $40 made to “SMC Golf League” and sent to Bob Vogler at 1159 Yorkshire, Grosse Pointe Park, 48230-1435. We would very much like to establish the team by the end of May so don’t hesitate to let us know. Team mem-bers will be picked on a first come basis as the calls come in. If you have a preferred partner in mind, let us know that also. By the time you see the Newsletter, the teams may have been settled. Call Bob to find out. A chart of the recent handicaps through May 13 and selected winners through match 04 is on the Web-site under the Sub Club News for Golfing. Written by Nick Kondak

The SMC Board would like to have a new SMC Historian to take the place of the deceased Donald Blain. If you have any interest in learning about the position, please contact Bob Hynes or John Snyder

“Thinking Like an Economist: A guide to Rational Decision Making.”

Professor Randall Bartlett Ph.D. Smith College Northampton, MA

There are six principles that Professor Randall gives to think like an economist.

1. People respond to incentives. If you reward a behavior, people will do more of it. If you penalize a behavior, people will do less of it. Example: Tax cigarettes more and sales will go down. If you smile at someone, they will likely smile back. If you clinch your fist as someone, they will likely clinch their fist. How people react is a reflection of your behavior.

2. There is no such thing as a free lunch. There is and there always will be an imbalance between limited resources and wants. More of one thing means less of something else. Even time is limited. You can use it for one thing but you give up using it for something else. The most valuable thing that you have is time. Use it wisely.

3. There are always two sides for every action. A dollar spent is a dollar income for somebody else. When there is less total spending, there will be less total income for somebody else. There are always pros and cons for every situation of debatable subjects: no one is perfect.

4. The law of unanticipated influences called the butterfly effect. No event takes place alone. Every change in the economic system has ripple effects. We are often impacted by things we cannot anticipate. War in the Middle East can cause ripples in the Stock Markets around the world. What you do today will effect what happens tomorrow.

5. The Law of Unintended Consequences. Installation of red light cameras to record license plate numbers of cars running a red light in California resulted in fewer red light accidents but caused an increase in rear-end accidents. Inpatience can cause accidents not intended. Snide remarks can cause bad feelings not intended.

6. No one is and no one can ever be in complete control. There are unforeseeable and unintended consequences when any decision is applied to some subset of over seven billion complexly interrelated people in the world. Decisions in Europe affect events in the U.S.A. Political decisions can have serious results that can lead to war.

Each principal presented the students with certificates from the SMC, and discussed their achievements, honors, and college selection. This is GPSMC's traditional recognition of highest achieving students at Grosse Pointe's two public high schoools.

The students are pictured below, North in the middle and South at the bottom. Your editor believes that the students' names will appear in a Grosse Pointe News article soon.

TENNIS NEWS May 27’s pizza party brought to a conclusion the GPSMC Tennis Club’s 48th annual indoor tennis season for both players and still active former play-ers. On any given Monday, Wednesday, or Friday an average of 15 of a total of approximately 45 not-so-average active players have gathered during the non-summer months to participate in friendly doubles competition. The summer season began outdoors April 30 at Elworthy Park (Neighborhood Club courts) and will continue through July from 10:00 till 12:00 Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. In August we will move over to the Liggett (ULS) courts on Cook Road and play from 9:00 to 11:00 when the temperature is a little cooler...perhaps. We are always looking for “fresh blood” to join in the fun and fill in for the (re)tired. Please consider joining us on the days that you are in the mood for some healthy exercise, must follow doctor’s or-ders, or simply want to give your significant other a respite. Call Roy Vorhees (586) 775-5388 or Tom Roberts (313) 331-3558 if you need ad-ditional information. Social events include frequent free pizza/libation parties, a hot dog/libation party in June, a steak roast at Lakeside Park in September, a December Christmas party at a local banquet hall, and the ever popular end-of-the-year Roy Vorhees, Jr. Memorial Tournament in the spring. By the way, the tournament winner this year was not a stranger to success. Jim Harvey mastered the other entrants for the third time in five years with his adept serving and focused rallying. Congratulations, Jim! First-year entrant Leon Trumbauer provided formidable opposition to Jim and all the others as well, earning a well-deserved runner-up position through his shrewd ball placement and adroitness. Congratulations, Lee! Last year’s winner Joe Hay-osh and Clyde Schbacker made their way to the finals. Finally, it is always saddening to recall those in our fraternity who, having “run the race” and shared in the banter over the years, are no longer with us since our last report. We will miss the friendly gregariousness of Fred Motney (90) and our ever popular mischievous story teller Nick Piccione (85). May they rest in peace.

Reading List

Nothing Like It in the World: The Men Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad 1863-69 by Stephen E Ambrose

necessary rails, ties, locomotives and other rolling stock meant that little progress was made until after the war.

Ambrose brings the enormous undertaking to life with stories of the major players, including the early surveyors, such as Theodore Judah, the owners, includ-ing “Doc” Durant of the UP and the “Big Four” of the CP, and the tens of thousands of workers, such as the Chinese brought in by the CP, the Civil War veterans, Irish and other immigrants building the UP, and the Mormons used by Brigham Young in Utah. They en-dured backbreaking work, hostile Indians, desert heat, mountain snows, and uncertain paydays as they raced to build the most track before meeting at Promontory Point in Utah in 1869 where the famous “Golden Spike” went into the last tie. The death toll from blasting accidents during tunnel construction, Indian raids, weather, train collisions and other causes were high, but no one was keeping track.

In a time of unchecked capitalism, both railroads faced scandals as their owners got rich while some workers and suppliers went unpaid.

The Readers found the volume to be generally en-joyable and informative. Ambrose is an engaging writer, and like many of his other works, Nothing Like It in the World became a best seller. Notwithstanding this, the book was faulted by railroad buffs for a number of fac-tual errors showing that it was poorly researched. Other critics alleged instances of plagiarism where Ambrose used language from other works with footnotes but not quotation marks. Several Readers noticed numerous repetitions, errors in the maps, and other editing lapses. Nevertheless, we would recommend the book to anyone with an interest in the subject matter.

Please join us at 5 pm on June 21st, when we will discuss The ISIS Apocalypse: The History, Strategy, and Doomsday Vision of the Islamic State by William Mc-Cants, at the home of Bob Wrosch, 22801 Lake Shore Drive, St Clair Shores. RSVP to (313) 310-8097.

Reported by David Morrow

Nothing Like It in the World tells the story of the building of the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860’s. Published in 2000, it is Stephen Ambrose’s 22nd work of popular history or biography. Although he usually wrote about war, politicians or the exploration of the American West, Ambrose turned here to railroads and the financiers, surveyors and thousands of laborers involved in the building of the Transcontinental Railroad, clearly one of the greatest achievements of the 19th century.

Ambrose begins the book describing an 1859 meet-ing in Council Bluffs, Iowa between Abraham Lincoln (a former railroad lawyer) and Grenville Dodge, a railroad engineer and surveyor. Lincoln wanted to know the best route for a Pacific railroad to the West, and Dodge told him that the line should run from Omaha west along the Platte Valley. A railroad to the Pacific has been discussed for several decades, but the slavery debate in Congress meant that Northerners could not accept a southern route that would expand slave state settlement and Southerners would not accept a free-state route. After the Southerners left Congress at the start of the Civil War, the route Dodge outlined and Lincoln supported was approved.

The Union Pacific was organized to build west through Nebraska, across the Rockies in Wyoming, and then into Utah, while the Central Pacific attacked the Sierra Nevada mountains from Sacramento and then across Nevada into Utah. Congress awarded the railroads land for the right of way and necessary sidings, rail yards, etc., as well as land grants of alternate sections of land adjacent to the line and loans of 6% government bonds. The bonds, which had to be repaid by the railroads, were awarded based on miles built with higher grants for portions of the line built on higher grades. The railroads also sold their own stock and bonds to investors with mixed results. Although work started during the Civil War, difficulties in obtaining workers and
