VIEW FROM THE PILOT HOUSE
Cdr Gary Millington, SN
USPS uses the tag line,
"Come for the boating
education and stay for the
friends." That is certainly true
for me; and probably many of
our current JCSPS members
also had their first exposure to
the squadron in one of our classes. That
makes me think about one of the core
strengths of our squadron--we have a wealth
of talent and experience to power our
educational offerings. We have a lot to offer
to the boating public as we fulfill our mission
of teaching boating safety. Are you taking
advantage of all the opportunities? Are you
telling your friends and marina neighbors?
Our classroom courses remain our core
offering. Currently, Education Officer MITCH
MEREDITH, Advanced Grades Chair JOHN
WHITEHEAD, Assistant Education Officer
STEVE BRUMIT and their crew of expert
instructors are doing a super job on Piloting.
Lots of good information and experiences
are being shared. Drop by Northeast State
on a Monday night and check out a class!
We are adding new learning options too. We
taught our first on-water training sessions
this year. Mitch also has a collection of twoto-three-hour seminars on a variety of
subjects that we can teach on demand. Also,
in 2014 we ran a record four TWRA
certification classes passing a total of 70
students! Interestingly, about 30 percent of
the students were adults. Great engagement
with the boating community.
USPS offers a series of online seminars on
several topics at usps.org. This is an
opportunity to reach people who may not be
available to attend a class in person. Also,
JCSPS is notified if someone within 40 miles
takes an online class, and we can make our
pitch for membership. Lastly, USPS now has
a "virtual trainer" available for local
squadrons to use at boat shows and special
events. Hopefully we will have this here early
in the new year. As you can see there are
plenty of education options!
Squadron members have a special
opportunity coming up soon. We are
planning a combined Operations Training
and 2015 Planning Session on Saturday,
November 8. This is a great opportunity to
learn how the squadron runs behind the
scenes and find out how to make activities
run smoothly and easily and make input on
what you would like see happen next year. I
strongly encourage incoming Bridge
members plus committee and event
chairpersons to attend. Look for details
elsewhere in this edition.
NEW MEMBER WELCOME
P/D/C Marshall Herron, SN
Please welcome DAVID W. MILLER to
our squadron!
David is currently taking the Piloting
course and already knows several of
our members. He is a neighbor to
Ray and Ava Walker and Tom and
Pearl Dotson. He also works with
Henry Harris. (Thank you, Henry, for
bringing David to our squadron!)
MEMBER INVOLVEMENT
& YOUR ROLE IN IT
P/C Steve Brumit, AP
So I've paid my dues and gone to a couple
of events, but just how does this
organization work?
Who decides what
events get put on the calendar and who
plans them? Who do I talk to to learn more
about what this boating group does? What
should I do with the membership renewal
that has landed on my kitchen table? I
would like to learn more about boating and
doing it safely with my family, but what
courses are offered and when?
If these are just a few of the questions you
have asked yourself about the Tri Cities
Boating Club and the United States Power
Squadron, you are not alone. Navigating
through this one-hundred-year-old
organization to find out how it works is
mostly found in print form at:
http://www.usps.org/national/om/pdfs/
opsman05.pdf.
I think one of the best pages on the USPS
site is the "how do I..." page at:
http://www.usps.org/newpublic2/howto.html.
These are great ways to learn about how the
squadron works.
“So how do I fit into the mix?” you ask.
The simple answer is, "Get Involved!" To
assist you in doing that at the
local level, we have the
Member Involvement and
Retention Committee. If you
have been a member less than
a year, you will even be assigned a “friend,"
who will be happy to aid you in getting the
most out of this organization.
Our allvolunteer-led squadron encourages each
and every member to play a role in carrying
out the boating safety, educational, and
community service goals of the squadron, as
well as participating in our very active social
calendar!
As chairman of this committee, I encourage
you to contact me with any questions,
suggestions or comments you might have.
Member involvement is key to the success of
our organization, so we encourage you to
take part in our upcoming Operations
Training session. It is an informative halfday of learning how the squadron is
organized, who the leaders are, and what
their job descriptions entail. All members are
welcome and all officers, committee
chairmen, and event chairmen are expected
to attend.
This year's “Ops Training” is being held at
the Garland Farm Estates Clubhouse in
Johnson City on Saturday morning,
November 8, 2014, starting promptly at
0830. We will conclude the training around
noon. Again, this free course is open to all
members. Pre-registration is required so that
adequate space is available for you. Contact
MARSHALL HERRON (423-791-2660) or
STEVE BRUMIT (423-737-9922) for more
information.

OPERATIONS (“OPS”) TRAINING
Who: The membership is INVITED!
All 2014 & 2015 officers, committee chairmen
and event chairmen are EXPECTED.
When: Saturday, November 8, 8:30 AM – Noon
Registration at 8:15 AM
What: Ops Training is offered every other year and is designed to be informational about the
United States Power Squadron organization, our local squadron's relationship to it, and where
the squadron has come from, is now, and wants to go. One major focus of Ops Training is to
acquaint the membership with job descriptions of the squadron's leadership. Since we
encourage all of our members to be active in volunteering, this training will be beneficial to all!
Where: Garland Farm Estates Clubhouse
330 Garland Farm Blvd., Johnson City, TN 37615
Specific directions can be found on the flyer for the Chili Cook-Off, being held at the same location.
If you plan to attend, please contact Marshall Herron
423.791.2660 or [email protected].
PLANNING SESSION FOR 2015
All members, including past and current event chairmen, are encouraged to attend the 2015
Planning Session that will follow the Ops Training. This will be a great opportunity for new
members to help shape our 2015 activities. More details to follow!
“Come for the training and planning...stay for the CHILI!!!”
HOLSTON HOME FOR CHILDREN
“DAY ON THE LAKE”
Steve Scheu
On Saturday, August 23, on another beautiful
day on Boone Lake, the Johnson City Sail
and Power Squadron entertained about 30
kids, along with counselors, from the Holston
Home for Children. This annual event of
boating, tubing, swimming, food and
entertainment took place again at
MARSHALL AND BRENDA HERRON’s
Marina and Water Park. On Friday, under the
guidance of FRED AND GINA PINNEY,
members of the squadron put together
tables and chairs under shade pavilions and
prepared for the food.
The HHC kids showed up on Saturday
morning to find PFD’s ready to put on and
boats ready to take them cruising. First
came an hour-plus long pontoon boat ride as
Power Squadron members and friends BUD
MARTIN, JOHN WHITEHEAD, MARK AND
CHANDRA CARVER, KEN AND STEVE
CARVER, and CORKY AND MARY
STEADMAN took the kids out for a tour of
squadron gear in the trailer. While a great
time was had by all, including
Power
Squadron members, by 5 PM you could
hardly tell that the HERRON's Marina had
been packed with youthful revelers (of all
ages) just a few hours before.
There is quite a group effort involved in
putting on this event, which is all about the
children and providing them with a fun, safe
boating experience. A special commendation
goes out to FRED AND GINA PINNEY who
again did a heck of a job organizing the
event and getting Power Squadron members
and friends to participate. There were a lot of
Boone Lake. While the Squadron has been
putting on this event for a number of years,
there were still kids that had never been on a
boat while others were just as excited to be
back based on previous experiences. After
the tour, everyone sat down for a sumptuous
repast of hotdogs, beans, potato salad, chips
and plenty of drinks.
Next came the tubing as the PINNEYS, the
BRUMITS, the CARVERS, the SCHEU'S
and the FLANAGANS with their speedier
boats took out those kids who were ready
and willing to test their endurance on the
tubes. There were lots of spills and laughs
as a good, wet time was had by all
participants. Next was free swim time off the
dock as well as plenty of kayaking as the
BENNIES brought their eight kayaks for
everyone's enjoyment. The afternoon was
topped off with the usual and always
delectable brownies, ice cream and
chocolate sauce. After a group photo and
thanks from the all the kids, the participants
piled into their transportation and headed
back to Greeneville.
Being mid afternoon, the remaining crew
went to a “debriefing” session held on the
marina's upper deck, aided by some adult
beverages, and then packed all the
folks at the HERRON’s, and it takes a lot of
back-room effort to prepare for this event.
FRED AND GINA did another excellent job
making sure the event was a great success.
Another special thank you goes out to the
HERRONS for allowing the event at their
home. And more special thanks go out to all
the Power Squadron members and friends
who provided boats, food, towels for the
participants, time, energy and much more to
make the event one that the HHC kids will
remember and look forward to next year.
Your contributions are greatly appreciated.
We hope all members can participate next
year too!

Tables will be reserved for our members
Along with our hosting the children of the Holston Home for our
annual “Day on the Lake,” we have a special bond with the Home.
This will be a very informative evening for anyone wanting to
learn more about the Holston Home and an opportunity to learn
what God is doing there. It will be a fun evening as well!!
There is no charge for the dinner; it is, however, a fundraiser
where privately-made pledges will be sought but not required.
(P/C Brumit serves on the Board of Trustees at the Home.)
FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE
P/C John Whitehead, SN
Eleven hardy souls gathered at high noon on the first fall Saturday at Lakeview Marina to
watch the TennesseeGeorgia rivalry. We
were all hopeful of a
victory to snap a fourgame losing streak.
The Vols got off to a
great 10-0 start only to
fall behind 21-17 at half
time. They battled
gamely in the second
half and had several
chances to go ahead
but in the end fell 35-32
to the Bulldogs. Alas, it
was another MORAL
VICTORY but our fifth
consecutive defeat. On
the bright side of a
sunny afternoon, we
all had fun eating a
great lunch with our
favorite
beverage and watching
a very exciting football
game. Maybe next
year.
(Editor's Note: A big “Thank you!” to Wilson Whitehead for the great collage of Vols fans!)
THE BVI SAGA – THE
CONCLUSION
Cdr Gary Millington, SN
This is the final installment of the three-part
JCSPS BVI series. Eighteen people spent the
third week in May, 2014, in the British Virgin
Islands aboard three chartered boats. The "Sea
Star" was a 39-foot flybridge power catamaran
crewed by Rich and Betsy Moakler; Walt and
Parke Brumit, daughter Emily and son Tate.
Greg and Pat Robins, son Mike and his wife
Laura, as well as Henry and Chele Harris were
aboard the "Sambamba," a 51- foot sailboat. The
"La Bella Vita" was another nearly identical 51foot sailing vessel crewed by Captain Steve
Brumit and Cindy, Mitch and Nancy Meredith,
and Judy and Gary Millington.
The British Virgin Islands saga concludes
with some highlights of the last few days of
the JCSPS charter trip. Eighteen people on
three boats enjoyed a terrific week in the
BVI's in May. Wednesday saw the two
sailboats head for Anegada Island while the
crew of the “Sea Star” powercat opted to
forego the crossing and check out the
comforts of some intriguing nearby resorts.
The “Sambamba” and the “La Bella Vita”-twin 51-foot sloops--prepared for the sail to
Anegada, a low, coral-atoll type island out of
sight of land. We were looking forward to this
navigational challenge as we plotted our
course carefully and calculated variation and
deviation.
It was another perfect day in
paradise as we dropped our mooring at
Leverick Bay Marina, motored out, raised
our sails and pointed the bow out to sea and
headed over the horizon. We settled in on a
starboard tack with a gentle easterly breeze
and favorable sea conditions in the turquoise
waters, with the “Sambamba” abeam. But
were we headed in the right direction?
Frequent checks of our compass and both
our iPad and shipboard chartplotter by the
navigators showed we were on course.
Sure enough, the island gradually began to
appear right on schedule, and we soon
identified the outer markers. We lowered our
sails, and Captain Brumit made our
approach through the narrow channel under
motor power. No moorings were available,
so we dropped anchor in shallow water
alongside a number of other boats. The total
crossing was completed in three and a half
hours.
Shortly after settling in on the hook, we were
hailed by a guy in a dinghy promoting the
new Anegada Beach Club and their featured
whole lobster dinner. So, after consulting
with the crew of the “Sambamba,” we
decided to board our dinghies; and the two
crews headed ashore. The Anegada Club is
located on the scenic backside of the island.
But no problem...courtesy transportation is
provided by the resort. So all 12 of us plus
the driver piled into a pickup truck rigged
with benches and after 10 bumpy minutes,
we were at the club. We explored the beach
and enjoyed the pool and sampled various
tropical drink concoctions under the
thatched-roof bar. And the lobster was
fantastic!
Thursday morning found us preparing for our
longest sailing leg of the trip--26 nautical
miles from Anegada Island to Jost Van Dyke.
We set the sails and autopilot and relaxed
while the chartplotter counted down the
miles. Five hours later we were abeam a
pretty island with a nice beach called Sandy
contact with many millions of dollars worth of
fiberglass until we decided to anchor at the
outer end of the harbor.
We reunited with the crew of the “Sea Star”
for refreshments and dinner at the famous
Foxy's Bar and Grill and enjoyed another fun
evening in the BVI's. On Friday we had a
short sail to Soper's Hole, a very pretty
pastel harbor with many shops and
restaurants. We savored a seafood lunch at
one of the local dining spots, checked out
the shops, then ate dinner on board as we
used up our leftovers. P/C Meredith grilled
some excellent hotdogs on deck...everything
tastes better in the BVI's! Saturday morning
found us getting an early start to motor
upwind to Roadtown where we sadly ended
our cruise and said our goodbyes and
headed for our ferry connections.
This was an outstanding charter trip, and we
elected to share our adventures in this threepart series in the hope that others will want
Cay. The crew voted to go ashore for some
exploring and snorkeling. By then, the deck
crew was well-drilled, so we quickly lowered
the sails and dropped the hook. We piled
into the dingy, landed on the beach, and
enjoyed an hour marveling at the fascinating
underwater scenery.
We then motored the remaining two miles to
our Thursday night destination, Great
Harbour on Jost Van Dyke Island. The
“Sambamba” and “Sea Star” had already
arrived, and we went in search of a mooring
ball. Captain Brumit maneuvered the “La
Bella Vita” in the shallow water of the very
crowded anchorage, skillfully avoiding
to take part in a future trip. It truly is a great
opportunity to gain experience in biggerwater cruising, navigation and boat handling
from fellow JCSPS members. I certainly
learned a lot from the captain and crew of
the “La Bella Vita.” Orchestrating a trip like
this requires a lot of planning and effort, and
we owe 'Admiral' Greg Robins a huge vote of
thanks. The next question is, “Where are we
going next?!?”

DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL
Ellen Johnston
September 6 marked a new beginning for
our squadron as we became an official
sponsor of the Mountain States Health
Alliance Dragon Boat Race at Winged Deer
Park. Though some of our members have
participated in the past under the leadership
of KEN FARST, this year we became official
sponsors,
providing and
setting up the
floating race
course and
providing
safety boats
for all practices and for the race event.

the RUSSUMS.
efficient at ensuring the paddlers were safe,
assisting with righting the boat and towing it
back to the ramp so the race could continue.
Steve mentioned that this kind of an issue
usually delays the race significantly; but
thanks to the help of our member volunteers,
the race was only delayed by two minutes.
Bob Russum, with his PWC, was able to get
Head Coach Steve to the overturned boat
quickly. Well done, JCSPS!!!
(Editor's Note: A big thank you to Ellen
Johnston for chairing our participation in this
event. Great job, Ellen!)
A great big thank you to those who helped
this year and a shout out to the rest of you
who might be willing to participate next year.
It's fun and easy work and it creates an
opportunity to get the word out there about
who the JCSPS is and what we do. We
never want to pass up an opportunity for
good publicity!
This year the event included 32 teams who
paddled and raised $100,000 toward
providing an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU)
for the Niswonger Children's Hospital . . .
and we helped !
It should be noted that we made history at
the event this year as it was the first time
there has been a dragon boat capsize during
our actual race event. According to Dragon
Boat Head Coach, Steve Gallant, the
squadron was not only successful but highly
