    From the Wheelhouse Cdr Mike Siwek, SN

    This and That

    First of all, I would like to say I am pleased

    and honored to serve as your Commander

    again. We have great people on the Bridge

    which makes my job much easier.

    Boating season is finally here and the water is warming. I can

    hardly wait to get the kayaks out again and take to the water. It is

    so peaceful paddling on a lake or river.

    I wish to thank P/C’s Lynn and Dan Fortman for arranging the

    tour of Wade & Gatton Nursery in Bellville. The hostas we

    purchased are still in the pots, but hopefully I will get them

    planted soon. Also, Lynn and Dan arranged for a tour of the

    Mansfield Memorial Museum here in Mansfield. I have lived in

    Mansfield all my life, and have never visited the museum. This

    tour was very interesting and educational. Thanks again Lynn and

    Dan.

    At the last executive/membership meeting, it was suggested we

    move up the meeting time from 7:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Everyone

    thought this was a good idea so we have changed the meeting

    time. Our executive/membership meetings are always held on the

    second Tuesday of each month, except for July where we have no

    meeting.

    NEW SMALL BOAT REPORTING

    PROCEDURES NOW IN EFFECT

    Reporting Offsite Arrival – Mobil (ROAM)

    Several of the Mansfield Power Squadron members were in attendance last week to hear Officer Wray of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) explain the arrival of a new, free app that will help to improve arrival notifications in the Sandusky Lake Erie area. According to Officer Wray, this is a comprehensive effort to improve the security of our Lake’s borders while enhancing legitimate travel. It is called the Mobil (ROAM) app.

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 4.2, operators of small pleasure vessels, arriving in the United States from a foreign port or place (i.e. Canada) to include any vessel which has visited a hovering vessel or received merchandise outside of territorial sea, are required to report their arrival to CBP immediately. The new app will allow small boaters to be able to complete their inspection with a CBP officer through an app on a smart phone device, I-Pad or laptop at one of the new ROAM reporting locations. The ROAM app allows small boaters the flexibility of reporting their arrival in the U.S. from any location. The app is free and is available in the Apple and Android stores. This app enables a video conference with CBP officers located at the Sandusky entry point.

    “This technology is a step in the right direction for the boating community as well as for our officers processing these types of arrivals”, according to Officer Wray. Having the clarity of high definition video, coupled with the traveler’s information from the application is strengthening border security while facilitating legitimate travel and commerce.

    Small boaters can construct a profile within the application and submit their information for a CBP video conference when crossing the U.S. border. Traveler information can be easily saved with the app, or recreated for future crossings. CBP encourages boaters to take advantage of the ROAM app on their smart phone devices. Travelers in possession of a Nexus Card or I-68 can still report their arrival by calling 1-800-827-2851 – or by using the ROAM app.

    P/C Daniel Fortman, JN

    The website for more information is: http://cbp.gov/travel/pleasure-boats-private-flyers/pleasure-boat-locations.

    Getting Started

    Travelers should download the ROAM app on their web-enabled smart device. After opening the ROAM app, tap “Sign in”.

    Travelers who do not have a login.gov account should “Create an Account” and follow the instructions.

    Travelers who already have a login.gov account should sign in to their existing account and will be directed back to the ROAM app. “Sign In”.

    Enjoy a safe and enjoyable boating season!

    Preventable Tragedy

    A tragic accident that occurred a few years ago has prompted me to write this reminder about boating and alcohol. Two boaters, out for the day of fishing, were returning to the boat ramp to load up for the day. Less than one-half mile from the ramp, they ran into a channel marker. Both men were thrown into the water. One man survived, the other did not. Investigation of the accident turned up several beer cans in the boat. As you can guess, alcohol may have played a part in this accident.

    Most boaters, even though they logically know that they should not drink and boat, don’t understand the enhanced effects that alcohol can have on the water. Natural stressors such as exposure to the sun, glare, wind, noise, vibration and motion on the water produces “boater’s hypnosis” or fatigue. This alone reduces reaction time almost as much as being under the influence. Adding alcohol to these environmental stressors intensifies their effects.

    Alcohol can decrease a person’s ability to handle the boat in many ways. As a depressant, alcohol goes straight to the nerves, blood stream, and the brain. As recreational boaters, it is hard enough to remember all the rules, regulations, boat handling techniques, etc. while lucid. A few beers to quench the thirst in a rapidly dehydrating body and the

    Nautical Trivia

    Excerpts from the book Traditions of the Navy by

    Cedric W. Windas published In 1942

    Pennsylvania: Contrary to popular beliefs the

    state of Pennsylvania was not named for its founder,

    William Penn, but for his brother Admiral Penn, as a

    mark of the King’s favor.

    Eight Bells: This measure of time or iginated in the

    days when half-hour glass was used to call off the

    four-hour watches. Each time the sand ran out, the

    ship’s boy whose job it was to reverse the glass,

    struck a bell to show he was attending to his

    business. Thus eight times he turned the glass and

    eight times he struck the bell.

    Berserk: This word denoting ungovernable rage

    was coined from a custom of the Vikings, who to

    prove their courage in desperate fights, would tear off

    their shirts of mail and fight half naked. Hence the

    term “berserk” or “Bare-sark”, meaning literally

    “Bare of Shirt”, as sark is the Norse word for shirt.

    This led to the saying of “Keep your shirt on”.

    Buccaneer: The or iginal buccaneers were not

    romantic pirates, but only a bunch of hard working

    swabs who made “Boucan” (smoked beef) for a

    living. Hence Boucan or Buccan-eer.

    Admiral: It seems a far cry from a Moorish chief

    to a senior ranking naval officer in the navy. Yet a

    Moorish chief is an Emir, and chief of all the chiefs

    is the Emir-Al from which we get our English word

    “Admiral”

    following happens:

    Eroding sense of balance – Most boating deaths result from falling out of small open boat, without a PFD, whether it capsizes or not.

    Vision fades – Because of the sun and reflection of light, objects on the water can be hazy and difficult to see. Color perception and peripheral vision deteriorate and at night depth perception decreases. You can imagine what happens if you can’t distinguish between the red and green markers ( or worse, cannot see the markers at all) or red and green lights of an oncoming vessel at night.

    Coordination suffers – Should a person fall into the water they may have trouble just floating, let alone grasping onto a life ring or throwable device. Add the shock of cold water and the risk of cramping and drowning is increased significantly.

    Surface blood vessels dilate – Blood vessels on the surface of the skin dilate to increase the rate of body heat loss while in the sun. If, while these vessels are dilated, you fall overboard into cold water, hypothermia sets in quickly and this further reduces your decision-making abilities.

    Dehydration sets in – As the sun beats down and the body naturally tries to cool itself by expelling perspiration to cool the skin, the body starts to get dehydrated. Drinking alcohol while dehydrated greatly enhances the rate at which the alcohol is absorbed.

    Judgment is impaired – One of the things that drinking tends to do is to make you begin to lose your judgment. After a drink or two, people tend to become relaxed and are more likely to perform dangerous acts that they might not normally do if not under the influence.

    One third of all boating fatalities are alcohol related. It is illegal to operate a boat, or to permit others to do so, while under the influence of alcohol, narcotics, or barbiturates. Penalties are severe and could include fines up to $5000, imprisonment of up to one year, non-paid public service work, and mandatory substance abuse counseling. If you should kill or seriously injure another person, the penalty can be up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $5000.

    So, use good judgment. The same holds true with your boating as it does in your automobile or

    (Continued from page 3) truck. Do not drink and drive. There will be plenty of time to enjoy that adult beverage when you are safely secured to your dock.

    Hello MPS Members,

    I hope that you are all enjoying our warm

    weather in Ohio as you prepare for an

    exciting time on or near the water during

    this boating season!

    At our Annual Meeting on March 17,

    2018, there was a lengthy discussion as to the financial cost for

    production, printing and distribution of a new roster each year as

    well as the cost of time to produce a new document. During the

    discussion, we had less than ten changes in our current roster.

    As you know, we have a very faithful following of members,

    many of which, I know in name only because they were

    members before Dan and I began with the squadron. However,

    they continue to support the organization and its goal of making

    the waters safe for all boaters through education. Consequently,

    the number of member changes have been minimal. With that

    being said, the Executive Committee voted to try a new approach

    for this year. Today you are receiving an addendum to your hard

    copy roster from last year. In this addendum are the few

    personal information changes that I have received.

    Our District 7 is also requesting that we update all email

    addresses at the national level so that more information can be

    disseminated through the internet to offset the cost of hard copy

    printing. If you have a new email address, please be sure to send

    this information to me at [email protected].

    In addition to the roster addendum, we are working to see how

    we can utilize the password controlled USPS Members Only

    website to offer an online approach that would be available even

    on your phone. At this point, we are still in the review stage of

    the process.

    We are America’s Boating Club and I hope that the Activities

    List that you received in your Yachtsman or that you can find on

    our website at www.mansfieldpowersquadron.org will be

    helpful. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to

    contact me via email or call at 419 347 6260.

    EVENTS

    We weren’t on the water but we had a good time at two outings

    earlier this rainy spring. One was to Wade and Gatton Nursery

    where we were given a tour by the grandson of the original

    owners of the nationally recognized Hosta Gardens that envelope

    the property in Butler. The second event was the visit to our

    local Soldier and Sailor Memorial Building in Mansfield that

    houses the Mansfield Memorial Museum. The artifacts there

    have come from many local families and organizations such as

    our local National Guard Members. If you haven’t had a chance

    to see this unique treasure, the curator, Scott Schaut will be

    delighted to tell you more about the nuances of the collected

    items and if you’re lucky, he may even turn on the well-known

    robot, Elektro!

    July and August Events

    We will have a Friday night outing at The Vault Wine Bar in

    Shelby, on Main Street at 6:00, July 20. Weather permitting,

    we will be outside to enjoy the band and the beverages. Small

    plate appetizers are also available and they make a great, thin

    crust pizza.

    Wednesday, July 25 will be our Applebees Classroom

    Fundraiser outing from 11:00 am -9:00 pm. Stop in anytime

    between those hours and bring your fundraiser pamphlet to give

    to your server upon ordering. Remember that we earn 15% of

    your total meal receipt to offset our classroom rent.

    District Rendezvous at the Rock and Dock Marina will take

    place the weekend of July 27-29. Join your fr iends from the

    other D-7 squadrons as we meet together in Cleveland for an

    exciting weekend of entertainment. More information will be

    coming from the district as plans are finalized.

    The annual Geological Marker Hunt is schedule for

    Thursday, August 23 beginning at 10:00 at the Ashland

    Brookside West Pavilion. Brookside West is located on Baney

    Road, just south of St. Rt. 96. A GPS, watch, and camera are

    needed for each group. A metal detector would be helpful but not

    required. After the search we will adjourn to The Mill

    Restaurant, located in the Buehler’s grocery Store on the east side

    of Ashland on Sugarbush Drive.

    Sunday in August- Please join us for a free movie on the big

    screen at Cleveland Playhouse. We have only 20 tickets

    available for Mansfield Power Squadron members on a first come

    - first served basis. A specific date has not been chosen because

    the movie schedule has not yet arrived. After the movie, we will

    walk up a block to the Haufbrau House for dinner and a beverage.

    Carpooling is suggested since there is a $5-$15 fee for parking at

    the local lots depending upon other events. I will contact you

    with more information if you let me know before the end of July

    that you are interested depending upon the date.

    For all of the upcoming events, please call me at 419 347 6260 or email [email protected] to let me know your

    intentions and we will do our best to save you tickets or a seat

    at the table.

    Millikin/Brewer Award

    for Teaching

    Excellence

    The Award for Teaching Excellence recognizes an

    instructor that measures up to highest standards set in

    the early days of this squadron by Perry Millikin,

    Boating and Piloting instructor, and Burke Brewer,

    long-term SEO.

    This year’s recipient insists he is not a great teacher.

    Perhaps that is why he spends so much prep-time for

    every class session.

    He absolutely hates to stand up in front of a group.

    Perhaps that is why he is more likely to sit down

    beside a student and talk through a problem than to

    lecture.

    He probably never heard of Vygotsky but he

    instinctively follows the scaffolding theory of

    learning. More than once his students have told me:

    If you don’t understand something, he doesn’t just

    repeat what you already don’t know. He goes back to

    your base, the point at which you started to get lost,

    and rebuilds from there. Re-building the scaffold, if

    you will.

    And, finally, though I’m not sure I’ve ever heard him

    actually say it, he certainly exemplifies the Etzwiler/

    Fort philosophy: “If the student didn’t learn, the

    teacher didn’t teach.” He encourages, explains, re-

    words, tutors, nags if necessary, to be sure a student

    understands, perseveres, and successfully completes a

    course of study.

    For help in sorting out the Power Point slides for the

    boating class, for the hours spent with Wayne

    Hammond getting the electronics to work for the N

    class, and for never, ever allowing his students to

    give up, Jim Jackson, SN, was chosen as the 2018

    recipient of the Millikin/Brewer Award for Teaching

    Excellence.

    The Belliard Award for Student

    Achievement

    The Belliard Award is presented each year to a

    student exemplifying highest educational

    achievement. Identifying that student has become

    more difficult as the field of students narrows and the

    quality of students increases. All of this year’s

    candidates ranked closely in test scores. Quality of

    homework and class attendance was excellent. Many

    of the students took more than one class and they all

    tolerated the frustrations of changes in technique

    brought on by “improvements” in course materials. I

    simply could not single out one person for this

    award. So I broke all the rules- the written criteria as

    well as the unwritten traditional guidelines. If you

    disagree with my selection…. Well, you can be SEO

    next year.

    This year’s recipients (yes-plural, more than one)

    grades were good, not the highest but well within

    acceptable limits. They took as many, but not more

    than, other candidates. They were diligent with

    homework assignments and kept pace with classroom

    progress even when unable to physically attend. We

    traditionally do not give awards to Bridge Officers,

    but darn it, anyone who tackles JN and N while

    simultaneously being Commanders has to be either

    the very best, most dedicated students this squadron

    has ever had, or they are absolutely insane. In

    recognition of their educational achievements Dan

    and Lynn Fortman (both JN’s and almost N) will

    share the Belliard award for 2018.

    OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS

    Master Mechanic John Fort has a small

    opening in his teaching schedule for late

    summer/early fall. This is a great time to

    access his knowledge about engines, whether

    identifying a “funny” noise or saving a few

    dollars doing your own maintenance. IF

    YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE let us

    know as soon as possible. The class will be

    scheduled around the students’ needs.

    Commander’s Message

    As we start our 66th year, The Mansfield Power Squadron has much to be proud of. Sixty six years of promoting

    boating education and safety.

    We continue to be strong, but we are always looking for new members. Spread the word about our fine

    organization and ask your dock mates to join us.

    As for our present members, I wish to thank everyone who continues to pay their dues and support our

    Squadron. I encourage every member to become more involved by attending the membership and executive

    meetings and supporting our educational and social functions.

    Plan to take an educational class this year, or enjoy yourself on one of our social functions.

    We are planning more “non-boating” activities for those who no longer have boats, so please join us.

    It is now official, we are now known as “America’s Boating Club”. We are still the United States Power

    Squadron, but our new name and logo better describes our organization. The new logo includes paddle craft,

    power boats, and sailing vessels.

    Have a happy and safe boating season.
