Chuck Lenert

From The Helm — by Commodore Chuck Lenert

Hello Shipmates,

Our State Lands Lease is up for renewal and our committee led by PC Bob Lygren,

along with Bob Baker and Captain John Hardin are diligently working with the State

Lawyers. The SYC lease price will be going up for sure, but we are not sure how

much yet.

One issue being discussed is the need for security for the Clubhouse and the boats on

the docks, along with the costs involved. The Club has already added the security

entrance gate system at a cost of $20,000 to help control who can drive onto the prop-

erty. As part of telling the Lands Commission about the need for security, we would

like to request that Shipmates who have had any break-ins, thefts, etc., to their cars or

boats at SYC write a letter (addressed “To Whom It May Concern”) about the inci-

dent, along with an attached police report (if one was submitted). Please send these

letters as attachments to an email to Debbie in the SYC Office.

We are also negotiating to sell our silt spoils to help offset the dredging costs. The State will also want a percentage of

the monies raised through these sales. After this year’s high water, we will have plenty of silt from dredging.

Shipmates, please join the SYC maintenance crew this year! Due to the high water this year, we will be having many

work parties to get the Club grounds back in shape. We will need to rebuild fences, cleaning debris and mud off the

buildings and grounds, fixing the bocce ball court, etc. We will also need volunteers to help Port Captain Tully keep

up with the normal ongoing dock/marina maintenance. Please consider signing up for work parties to be part of the

SYC maintenance crew where you get to meet your other Shipmates developing friendships and accomplishing a com-

mon goal, all for the “Good of the Club.” We no longer have a paid groundskeeper because we hired a landscaping

company to cut the grass and clean up the leaves in the parking lot. To complete all the other work a groundskeeper

completed, we must have work parties to maintain all of the grounds. So please come join the SYC maintenance crew

and volunteer for the work parties.

The March SYC charitable event was to gather gently used women's business apparel and accessories for the WEAVE

“Suited For Success” program of Sacramento. Through the month of March Shipmates brought to the Clubhouse a

large donation of gently used business apparel. I want to thank Jim Montgomery, PC Bruce Moneymaker and Debbie

Anzack for helping stage the clothing in the parking lot, making it easier for me to pick it all up and load into my

pickup...it was such a great help. I loaded enough donated clothing to fill my pick-up of about 6x8x2 feet and took it

to the WEAVE store on Arden Way. This month was another great success due to our generous Shipmates, thanks

again for all the support of our monthly charitable events. The WEAVE staff was overjoyed to see all the business

attire we donated.

For April, our Community Outreach Program will be St. John’s Program for Real Change. Founded in 1985, the pro-

gram started with 20 women and children. 30 years later, the program has helped change over 30,000 lives. St. John’s

provide more than shelter and food. They provide the ability to rise above devastating, negative elements and achieve

job-readiness and self-sustainability. I would like to “Thank” Deborah Ramirez for all her hard work and continued

commitment overseeing our Community Outreach Program!

I am very pleased to be able to include all of the reports on the SYC successful monthly charitable events in the State’s

Lands Lease renewal paperwork package. They are very interested to know in what way the Sacramento Yacht Club

gives back to the community. All of our generous Shipmates have made this part of the renewal package easy for me.

See you at the Club,

Commodore Chuck and Shirley Lenert

House Happenings — by Vice Commodore Ken Stites

Greetings Shipmates,

Weather and high water stalled some of the progress which might have been

made this past few weeks. We lost the well pump again last weekend and as

usual our dedicated Shipmates came to the rescue. Huge “THANKS” to Steve

Sarmento, PC Bruce Moneymaker, Port Captain Chris Tully, Jim Montgomery,

and Paul Anders for getting the water flowing again. PC Cameron, Director

Sam Teresi and others are still planning the North deck storage and walk-in ex-

pansion.

I had planned a work party for Saturday, April 9th and had to cancel due to the

issues with the well. There is another scheduled for Saturday April 23rd so I

will expect a good turnout at that one. We will be cleaning up the mess from the

high water and making water damage repairs. I would like to get the frame for

the lawn tent repaired, get the tent covering back on, reset the posts that came

out of the lawn and get the propane tank enclosure back together.

Events gone by included the induction of PC Bruce Moneymaker into the Old Salts. The roast was hilarious

and the dinner was outstanding and was followed by a first-rate breakfast the next morning. Galley Manager

Kathy Teresi and company put together the best corned beef dinner I have ever had. I even ate the cabbage

(but don’t tell Kathy). It was a great month for food as the next event in line was the General Meeting with

Monique Smith at the galley helm. The meatloaf was incredible as well as the gravy prepared by Sandy Con-

nelly. The next morning, an “old school country breakfast” was prepped by Kelli Stites, PC Jim Cameron and

Josie DePew. There was an RBOC meeting hosted at SYC March 29th which I was regrettably unable to at-

tend. Thanks to Shipmate Peter Robertson for all he does with RBOC to help preserve our waterways and pro-

tect our rights as boaters.

As I typed this, Monique Smith is in the galley prepping for tonight’s TGIF and I want to thank her and Kay

Montgomery for doing so much of the galley work this year. It has made my life a little easier and it matters

that I know if things get a little “messy” they will show up and make sure Kelli and I have the help we need. I

also want to thank Galley Manager Kathy Teresi for all of her help and many trips to the store in support of the

galley crews who make it possible for us to eat so well.

Upcoming events include:

April 9th Cooking Class with Monique Smith

April 12th Board Meeting

April 15th-17th Shakedown Cruise

April 22nd General Meeting (Rae Ann Murray and Jack Lang in the galley)

April 23rd Breakfast (Director Simon Antill and Brittany Carroll in the galley)

April 24th PICYA Opening Day On The Bay

May 1st SYC Opening Day Parade

Thanks as always to our lovely Bar Manager Kelli Stites for all she does in the bar, the galley, and behind the

scenes keeping me on track. Thanks to all of you for your continued support and commitment to the Club.

Phil Chovanec

On The Water — by Rear Commodore Phil Chovanec

Greetings Shipmates,

Well, we had a great Winter with lots of rain and snow and it looks like the

boating season is a “go.” Our first cruise is just around the corner “The Shake-

down Cruise” on April 15th-17th. Heather Tully is the Cruise Captain and

says she does not need any help and has got this one handled! Should be a lot

of fun and I am looking forward to it. So, I hope your boats are tuned up and

ready to go for an exciting cruising season.

The 66th Annual Opening Day Parade is on May 1st at 1:00 pm with a BBQ

following the parade. Remember, the theme this year is “The Wonderful

World of Disney.” Just a reminder, South River Road will be closed and eve-

ryone will need to use Linden Road. At Linden Road and South River Road,

you will be escorted by the West Sacramento Police Department to the Club.

I’m starting a new article called “Shipmate of the Month.” Each month a Shipmate will be featured. The

intent of this article is to familiarize you with some of the Shipmates who make up our wonderful Club.

I am also starting a new Ukulele Club. The Ukulele Club is for anyone and everyone, whether you have ever

played a ukulele or not. If you don’t have a ukulele, they are very cheap...they run from $25-$50 and they all

sound pretty good. It has been my experience that the $50 ukuleles sound a little better. You can buy them

online or better yet, support your local music store and buy one from them.

Depending on the number of Shipmates joining, we will be meeting in

a private location such as upstairs or on someone’s boat to play. The

first Ukulele Club meeting will be on April 23rd after breakfast. It

will only be a one-hour get together as there is a work party that day

as well. I will be giving lessons for beginners and will have handouts

for everyone. Also, if you have experience at the ukulele, you can

help teach as well. It should be a lot of fun.

Measurer’s Report — by Measurer Nate Eckler

Hi Shipmates!

First of all, I want to say thank you for welcoming me into my new role at SYC.

I’m truly excited to be your Measurer and on the Board at SYC. Thank you

Commodore Lenert for the warm welcome for me and Shelley at the last Gen-

eral Meeting.

I’d like to welcome new Shipmates Danny Beuck and Maria Meiers. I’m look-

ing forward to seeing their boat at the SYC docks soon (almost as much as Dan-

ny is). I’d also like to welcome Shipmates Reinhold and Frankye Brooks who

were inducted in February of this year.

The temperatures are warming up, the river is going down, and events are com-

ing around the Club. One of the best things about SYC is the amount of partici-

pation we have with our members. Between the TGIFs, the meetings, and soon

the monthly cruises, we have many opportunities to get together and bring

guests.

Now is a great time to invite a guest to come out and see what SYC is all about. We’ve had some new mem-

bers recently join, as well as some new applications coming in. Keep bringing your friends and let’s keep the

momentum going.

Thanks,

Measurer Nate and Shelley Eckler

Safety Officer

Rob Connelly

Safety Officer Report — by Safety Officer Rob Connelly

Greetings Shipmates!

You may have heard it said that “Safety is Everyone’s Business.” I happen

to think that is true and very much required in a Club like ours. If we don’t

all get involved at some level, something may get overlooked! I’m also a

firm believer in many eyes do a better job of review as opposed to a single

set, and lastly that a plan isn’t worth squat if all the players aren’t aware of

the plan!

As Safety Officer, part of my charge is to keep our Club’s Sight Plan, Haz-

ardous Materials Disclosure and Emergency Action Plans on file with Yolo

County. This was new to me this year and I opted to update our existing

pencil drawn site plan with an electronic version saved as a PDF.

I would like your help to review the plans that were submitted this year, for a few reasons:

1. I am sure they are not perfect and like I said, many eyes do a better job of review. You can email me your

thoughts, changes, ideas, etc. to ([email protected]).

2. Your review will help me to do a better job next year.

3. If you look over these plans you will become familiar with the location of our emergency equipment, in-

cluding fire extinguishers, first aid and AED locations, and hazardous material containment supplies.

4. You will be involved in our overall safety plans!

It’s just that simple. The SYC Office will send an e-mail following the release of the Wingdammer with the

four pdf documents. These pdfs will be the actual site plans submitted to Yolo County indicating the loca-

tions for our safety gear as well as gas, electric and water shutoff locations. Like I said, they are not perfect

and I really do want your help to make the documents perfect. Please take time to review these documents.

If you have any thoughts, changes, or ideas, let me have it!!

Keep it safe and let’s have a great summer boating season!

Thank You,

Shipmate AKA Safety Officer

Rob Connelly

River is running fast and cold…..Be

safe out there!

Shipmate Of The Month— by Rear Commodore Phil Chovanec

Monique spent her early years in the medical profession as an LVN and eventually became a respiratory thera-

pist. Monique worked at the Betty Ford Clinic and at one point took care of President Gerald Ford. Monique

is currently a stay-at-home mom raising their children and helping Matt’s business with secretarial duties.

Matt has quite an eclectic background both in boating and in life. Matt worked in one of the largest oil com-

panies in California, which was owned by his family. His father’s love of boating set the hooked for Matt at

an early age. The economy change and so did the oil business. Matt tried his hand at other careers. At one

point, he own a restaurant in Vermont while at the same time he was an insurance salesman. He would wake

up at three in the morning and helped the restaurant by making pastries such as donuts, cinnamon rolls, and

bear claws.

Currently Matt is a lawyer who divides his time between divorce law, civil litigation, probate and estate plan-

ning, and bankruptcy.

The reason why I chose Matt and Monique to be “Shipmates of the Month” is simply because they are always

willing to give back to the Club. Matt is on the Board as a Director and is our in-house attorney. Monique

regularly helps out in the galley and has been the lead cook on many occasions. Monique has also been a

Cruise Captain. Recently, I had a Cruise Captain cancel for an upcoming cruise due to a scheduling conflict.

I called Monique and without hesitation she said she would help and would take on the cancelled cruise. She

knows how to cook and throw a great party.

This is the kind of spirit the Smith’s have as a couple and help keep this Club fun! Please join me in congratu-

lating them on being the “Shipmates of the Month” and thank them for their dedication to the Club.

April Shipmates of the Month

This month “Shipmates of the Month” are Director Matt and

Monique Smith. Their boat is named “5 to 1.” You wonder why

the 5 to 1? That is because in their household they have six chil-

dren, five girls and one boy. They are Tiffany, Cassie, Madison,

Miranda, Morgan, and Matthew (oh poor Matthew). You may

have met Madison, Matthew, and Morgan. Madison (Mattie)

and Matthew work at the Club as kitchen staff. Morgan is the

cute little blonde whom everyone in the Club would love to

adopt.

Matt has been boating his entire life. He grew up in the LA area

where his family had buoy (#158) on Catalina Island.

Monique is relatively new to boating. Since buying a boat,

Monique has been like a duck in water and totally loves hanging

at the Cub and helping out.

Community Out Reach — by Deborah Ramirez

Greeting Shipmates,

For our April Community Outreach Program, we’ve selected St. John’s Program for Real Change. Saint

John’s is for the woman who wants to make the leap and “Break the Cycle!” Who will fight the pervasive in-

fluence of homelessness, poverty, and abuse. Who will make an empowered decision to rise up and become a

productive community member. Who understands, unequivocally, that the decision to create a better life – for

herself and for her family – rests entirely on her.

Founded in 1985, the program started with 20 women and children. 30 years later, the program has helped

change over 30,000 lives. St. John’s provides more than shelter and food. They provide the ability to rise

above devastating, negative elements and achieve job-readiness and self-sustainability. Entry into the program

is limited and each step is extremely rigorous. But those who see it through end up with rewarding, happy, and

productive lives – for themselves, and for their children. For the children, St. John’s provides shelter, food,

education, love, hope and the chance for a better life.

How we can help: The women and children at St. John’s need shampoo, conditioner , socks and under-

wear (women, children and infant sizes), soap, feminine hygiene products, diapers, cereal, instant oatmeal, hot

chocolate, fruit juice, baby formula, wipes, pacifiers, sippy cups, bottles, bibs, toothpaste, toothbrushes,

combs, brushes, hair ties/clips, board games, art sets, crayons, school uniforms (navy slacks, white collared

shirts, white socks, all sizes), sporting gear, dolls, movies, the list goes on and on. As one of their Develop-

ment Assistants told me “think of the items you take for granted at home, that’s what we need.” Of course

cash donations are always welcomed as well.

You can also dine at Plates Café and Catering—14 Business Parkway #149, Sacramento or Plates2Go—1725

L. St. Sacramento. These are their training centers, enabling women to find work in the food service industry

after graduating from the rigorous program.

For more information and a full list of items needed, please check out the St John’s website: http://

www.saintjohnsprogram.org.

Let’s show St. John’s Program for Real Change how much SYC cares about our community! We’ll be accept-

ing donations throughout April, just bring them to the Club! Thank you once again for your kindness and gen-

erosity!

If you need additional information or have questions, please let me know.

Deborah Ramirez - Community Outreach

Breaking the Cycle—Providing the Tools for Real

Change Through your donation, you can be a part of helping create a

powerful , lasting change in rebuilding the lives of the coura-

geous women who come through Saint John’s doors asking

for assistance for them and their children. Thanks

RBOC Report — AB 2092– Abandoned Watercraft Abatement Fund

April 9, 2016—RBOC is working to protect boater fuel tax dollars and registration fees from a proposal to target these

funds for the cleanup of abandoned commercial vessels.

RBOC is opposing AB 2092 [Frazier] unless the bill is amended so that recreational boaters’ funds will not be used to

rid the waterways of abandoned commercial vessels.

RBOC is greatly concerned that, as currently written, AB 2092 would open up the use of boater fuel tax dollars and reg-

istration fees for commercial vessels. The key issues:

Commercial vessels are much more expensive to clean-up and the cost of one vessel could exceed the entire fund.

The owners of commercial vessels do not contribute to the fund –only recreational vessel owners do.

The demand for clean-up of recreational vessels already exceeds the amount of available funds. These vessels should

remain the topaat this time.

There have been no comprehensive studies of:

The extent to which abandoned commercial vessels represent danger on the waterways;

Whether the owners of abandoned commercial vessels can be identified and assessed cleanup costs; and

Whether there are other alternatives to tapping into the recreational boater-funded program, such as state recycle

and superfund dollars.

AB 2092 proposes to open up the use of boater-generated fuel tax dollars and registration fees for the cleanup of aban-

doned commercial vessels. At issue is the integrity of the boater supported and financed Abandoned Watercraft Abate-

ment Fund [AWAF] and Vessel Turn-in Program [VTIP]. RBOC has been – and continues to be - a strong supporter of

both of these essential programs.

The AWAF and VTIP provide funds to public agencies to remove, store, and dispose of abandoned, wrecked, or disman-

tled recreational vessels which pose a substantial hazard to navigation, from navigable waterways or adjacent public

property, or private property with the landowner's consent.

As part of its commitment to provide clean, safe and enjoyable recreational boating on California's waterways, the Divi-

sion of Boating and Waterways [DBW] administers this statewide program. It allows public local agencies to apply for

funding and upon approval, enter into a contract grant agreement with DBW.

The AWAF and VTIP, enacted in 1998 and 2010 respectively, have provided millions of dollars in grants, and have ena-

bled the removal of thousands of vessels and other marine debris.

The Governor has proposed a budget of $1.75 million for the program in next year’s budget, and we understand that the

monetary requests of grant applicants greatly exceed the available funds.

As RBOC has discussed with the author and proponents of the measure, rather than focus on recreational boaters’ funds,

RBOC would be pleased to work with all interested stakeholders to address the issues raised by the abandonment of

commercial vessels in California, and to identify effective, efficient, and balanced efforts that can be taken.

RBOC continues to be engaged in the productive dialogue that occurs within the abandoned vessel working group that

focuses on these issues and can provide a beneficial forum for the development of ideas.

Other state and local agencies that have financial resources and expertise should also be approached. CalRecycle, for

instance, completed a department-managed Pilot Project a few years ago with the stated objective of removing aban-

doned commercial vessels and debris that poses threats to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

There is a CalRecycle Solid Waste Cleanup Trust Fund and a State Water Resources Control Board Cleanup and Abate-

ment Account. RBOC will be testifying on April 18th when the Assembly Transportation Committee considers legisla-

tion that would target boater funds for commercial vessels.

Sacramento Yacht Club — PICYA Opening Day on the Bay

For 99 years, according to the Yachting Registry, PICYA has opened the yachting season with

a parade of boats large and small. Opening Day on the Bay will be Sunday, April 24, 2016,

with a decorated parade. The theme for this year’s parade is “Heroes on the Bay”. Showcas-

ing heroes of all kinds: Military, Super Heroes, Historical Heroes, Teachers, Innovators,

Bravery, Service, Inspirational Figures and more. This will be a spectacular day to par-

ticipate in the parade, come aboard the committee boat or for your company to be a sponsor

visible to countless boaters and spectators on the Bay. All vessels are welcomed to participate

in the parade.

If you can’t bring a vessel to participate, join the Officers and Directors of PICYA for the

of Hornblower's fleet. She provides spectacular views of the parade and beautiful San Fran-

cisco Bay. During our cruise we will enjoy a fabulous served sit-down lunch with a no host

bar and a front row view of the parade. Purchase your tickets and bring your friends - every-

one is welcome to buy a ticket!
