Sarah Steereʼs father, Ken Steere, made their Sea Shell in the sum-mer of 1954 on their porch on 7 Oak Street- (hence the number onthe sail). A number of families bought kits to make the originalboats. No one is sure how many are still sailing. Many family chil-dren have learned to sail in that Sea Shell. The boat's name is the"Periwinkle". Even Sarahʼs mother, Ellie, has raced the boat in theparent races. Last Saturday as Sarah was leaving to go rig the boatwith her daughter, her mother reminded her that the last time shesailed in the boat, she won the parent race. No kids in the boat! Itwas just the parents!

Graham Gavert“FROM THE ARCHIVES”

2 Depot Plaza, Suite 202C Bedford Hills, NY 10507

“How It All Began The Archives”

Thanks to the suggestionof long-time resident Marilyn“Jim” Douglass, this is a smalltribute to the dedicated ladieswho really got the Archives upand running several decadesago. Today, we have anArchives with digital photorecords and other computer-driven capabilities, throughthe good efforts of people likeRich Grimaldi and NancyTurner and others. Backthen, we had an intrepid teamwho steadfastly met everyWednesday morning from9:00 am to noon, carefullysorting materials and cata-loguing the documents, pho-tos and other paper memora-bilia in acid-free storageboxes, which still comprisethe tangible GLP ArchivesCollection.

According to a (properlyindexed) document in theArchives, the Archives reallybegan with an idea in 1983involving Helen Ellison, Helen& Jim Quinn, and Libby & BudColson, who began to amassa collection that related thehistories of GLP homes and

their occupants. Mailings bythe Womenʼs Organization fora couple of years asked resi-dents to share their personalmemorabilia, which met with avery good response. Threebig cardboard boxes of mem-ories were then stored awayas the focus of WomenʼsOrganizationʼs projectschanged.

However, in April of 1998,interest in GLPʼs historyresurfaced and the workbegan. The original teamassembled: Ellenrose Carroll,Libby Colson, Cay Doran,Helen Ellison, Gloria Gavert,Sue Motycka and Fay Taylor.Janet Murphy, with profes-sional archives training, wascalled in to assess the collec-tion and share her knowledgeof preservation. TheWomenʼs Organization fundedthe newly organized effortwith $500 to buy the profes-sional materials needed topreserve what had alreadybeen collected. The teamenthusiastically pledged to

have the Collection in goodorder by early June. Hmmm.Along with the enthusiasmwent a lot of optimistic think-ing.

Year succeeded year, asthe work continued, and thegroup met faithfully everyweek during the off-season.Several key people joined thegroup along the way: GenevadeLabry, Henrietta Spaderand Sally Starzec. TheWomenʼs Organization contin-ued its support and the GLPAssociation offered perma-nent space for the Archives inthe Casino, with a climate-controlled room. The GLPNews began to run GloriaGavertʼs vignettes “From theArchives” in Summer 2000,intended to stimulate interestand donations of more materi-als to sort and catalogue.Exhibits were mounted annu-ally at various GLP events.Gradually, as the team agedand some of its memberspassed away, the steady workof the Archives slowed.

But a new effort hasrecently begun and theArchives has entered a newchapter in its own history, stillto be written. However, noneof it would have happenedwithout the strong and steadyeffort of the women men-tioned above. Thank you.

The Groton Long Point PoliceDepartment would like to remindour young residents and parents ofsome important bicycle safety rulesand laws so that you may have ahappy and healthy summer vaca-tion!

PLEASE remember thatConnecticut law states that youMUST wear a bike helmet until age16. It should fit snuggly on the topof your head with the visor placeddown over your forehead. The chinstrap should be snapped underyour chin comfortably but not tooloosely. This will help prevent aserious head injury should you takea fall off of your bike and bumpyour head.

Obey ALL rules of the roadwhich means you must RIDE to theRIGHT, obey all traffic signs mean-ing stop at stop signs! When crossing an intersection,stop, look and listen for oncomingtraffic, then proceed safely continu-ing to look both ways as you cross.

Check the ABCʼs before startingyour ride. A= Air. Be sure to havethe proper air pressure in your tires.Have an adult assist you with this.B= Brakes. Check to be sure yourbrakes are functioning properly. C=Chain. Be sure your chain is oiledand not rusty.

If riding at night you must havefront and rear lights. Be cautious ofnight time hazards that you may notsee, such as wires, holes, sewergrates and sand covered road sur-faces.

Remember to use your hand sig-nals that you learned during ourbike safety talk on the first day ofYacht Club activities! No bikes areallowed on the boardwalk. Aboveall, have fun but Ride Safely!!

“Hello Dolly”Pesto Sauce

I recently went to theStonington Farmerʼs Market,held every Saturday morningfrom May- October. It is a won-derful experience with vendorsselling local, fresh and excitingculinary treats. While wanderingfrom stand to stand I ran intoour own GLP culinary entrepre-neur, Dolly Glennon. She hasstarted her own pesto andpasta business in Noank. Dollydebuted at The StoningtonFarmerʼs Market last year andbusiness has literally blos-somed since. She has a hugegarden at her farm in NewHampshire as well as buyingfrom local growers, so it is allabout being fresh. The onlyprocessed ingredient in any ofher recipes is tomato paste.Dolly started with 2 pestosauces; arugula and traditionaland now is up to 10. Her mottois to be creative and keep itfresh. Dolly and sat down totalk recipes and she has shared

and Liguria.

The hallmark of a good foodwine is acidity. It carries thewine through the richness ofthe food. In the case of pestowith the assertiveness of thebasil, the piquancy of the garlic,and the richness of the olive oil,a wine high in acid is a must.And Vermentino fits the bill.Vermentinos have racy acidity,citrusy flavors, a compellingminerality, and a saline qualitywhich certainly echoes itsMediterranean origins. There iseven an herbalness which sug-gests an effective pairing withbasil.

The good news is thatVermentino is an ideal wine forpesto. The bad news is theyarenʼt easy to find. Even thebetter wine shops may onlyhave a couple of examplesfrom which to choose. Butwhat it does have going for it iscost as well as an affinity forLigurian dishes featuring pesto.Most Vermentinos retail for lessthan $15. So, if you are think-ing of breaking out the foodprocessor to make a deliciouspesto, it is worth the search fora nice Vermentino to accompa-ny your meal.

her original pesto recipe withus. She really is a cook thatadds this and that and is notbig on exact measurements. Sogo get some fresh ingredientsand have fun creating your ownpesto. If you are not feeling it,you can go to Noankʼs newbakery where she is selling hersauces or stop by her booth atthe farmerʼs market onSaturdays.

Ligurian WinesIn the last issue we spoke of

place: how foods in a certaingeography pair well with winesthat originate in the same geog-raphy. Last week it wasChimichurri sauce and Malbecfrom Argentina. This week it isPesto and Vermentino fromItaly.

This issueʼs Katyʼs Kitchencolumn instructs how to make afabulous pesto sauce. Thissauce would be great on pastaand superb on fish. Pesto isthought to have originated inGenoa in the Liguria region ofnorthern Italy. So, for a suitablewine match, letʼs take a look atsuccessful wines from Liguria.Ligurian wines include redsmade from the Dolcetto,Sangiovese, and Barberagrapes. However, I think a redmay overwhelm a pasta orespecially fish dish topped withpesto. So, letʼs go with white.Here, the Ligurian options aremore limited. But there is oneclear winner and that is thesomewhat obscure Vermentino. Vermentino is a late ripeningwhite wine grape found princi-pally in Italy. One wine criticdescribed it as the mostMediterranean of wines as itappears in locations throughoutthe Mediterranean includingCorsica, Sardinia, Provence,

Did you know... In 1704, the Winthrop's of Fishers Island captured two large moose

which they planned to present to Queen Anne as a gift. A bull mooseweighs as much as 1,200 pounds and can be as tall as 7 feet at the shoul-der. The voyage most likely began in early fall when the bull's antlers wouldbe fully formed and hardened. Unfortunately, both moose did not survivethe 6 to 8 week voyage of England. The record does not say if the Queenwas pleased with the consolation gift she received – a rack of mooseantlers.

Most of you think MainBeach is just for splashing inthe water and soaking up sun,but it actually is a good fishingspot. With the right bait or lure,you can catch even morespecies of fish than you couldcatch at East Dock. Bigger fish,like Striped Bass, and you havea greater chance of catchingBluefish when they're in sea-son... And, smaller fish, likeWeakfish. One time when I wasfishing there about 4-5 yearsago I felt a tug, and so reeledthe fish in. But the fish let go ofmy bait and I reeled in whatwas left of the bait and I wentto go get more. When I lookedback, there was a Weakfish,flopping on shore. Whoa!!

I went fishing at night andWill went fishing in the morning.There are HUUUUGE differ-ences in the species of fish.

Did I mention that there aresome surprise fish out on MainBeach? Well, I'll tell you whatsurprised me. A 21/2 foot Skateon the end of my line - not thefirst time I've seen one. Butyes, they're startling! And youprobably want to know the dif-ference between Skates and

ITʼS ALL FISHING ON THIS PAGE!HOOKED!

A Fish Tale! by Max Battles & Will KingstonStingrays, right? Skates havepointed noses and Stingrayshave rounded noses. So if youwant a Skate, cast out far anduse Squid. If you catch one usedisposable gloves on yourhands to hold the fish. Skateshave mucus all over their bod-ies. The mucus will give you aburning sensation in your handor anywhere else if it's not cov-ered by something.

Porgies of big size can becaught at Main Beach, too. Icaught one that was 14". Icould've eaten it, but I threw itback in the water. Porgies eatsquid, clams, and sandworms.That's what I had for the nightfishing.

Will had reported to me forthe morning fishing with aStriper and a Blackfish.

He caught the Striper inbetween low tide going to hightide with one of Mr. de Labry'sbucktails. Thanks again, Mr.deLaby! I don't know anydetails about the blackfish, sizeor bait, and I don't have a pic-ture of the fish.

For now, that's all there is tofishing at Main Beach!

Bell, Government Bell, RamIsland Bell, and home. The race,which included five A-boats, start-ed in a gusty northwest breeze.Each boatʼs skipper was giventhe option of deciding which wayto complete the triangular course;all of the boats decided to goʻcounter-clockwiseʼ, heading Westagainst the tide to Pine IslandBell. Kite, sailed by BradWashburn and his parents Dickand Barbara, took an early lead.The wind started to pick up onthe long reach out to GovernmentBell (off the West side of FisherʼsIsland) and to Ram Island Bell,eliminating the need for spin-nakers. On the last leg home,the wind became very erratic,shifting west and southwest, pre-senting a challenge to all of theboats. The Kite was able to keepits lead to the finish. The order offinish was: Kite, Duck,Sanderling (sailed by Doug Rose,who continues to work his way upamong the leaders of many of theraces), Skimmer (sailed by MattRath), and Swallow (this time,sailed by Nuffy Murphy and sister

Isabel).The Point Race

series continues nextweek with Saturdayʼsrace off of Main Beachat 1:30 and SundayʼsCommodoreʼs Cuprace (which alsoincludes a plethora ofboats, including C-420ʼs, Optis, andLasers), which beginsat 2 p.m.

Even though the spinnakersstayed packed during this week-endʼs two A-class races, thecrews of all the boats that partici-pated in the Point Race onSaturday and the Long DistanceRace on Sunday received aphysical work out.

Saturdayʼs Point Race tookplace in a strong southwestbreeze along with some powerfulswells, which were primary fac-tors in Fleet Captain Jay Fisherʼsdecision to exclude the use ofspinnakers for the race. On thewindward leg to Seaflower, Kitetook an early advantage overFrank Murphy, Jr.ʼs Swallow andCormorant, sailed by Matt Ray.Kite, sailed by Jay Washburn witha crew that included Bo McBee,Molly Orchardo, and Jay Reed,kept its lead on the run to IntrepidRock. After completing a reachto a leeward mark off of MainBeach, Kite headed home on ashort windward leg, crossing thefinish line ahead of the fleet. Theorder of finish was: Kite,Swallow, Cormorant, Duck, andPelican.
