Pictured above is 11 year old Macy Chase with a 25 lb Stripped Bass that she caught from the SS Mady's Gamble.

Macy is a 5th generation GLP'er celebrating 93 years of fishing, crabbing and swimming off East dock from Orient cottage at 152 East Shore. Other Chase family members, Ruby and Quinn, have been featured in the GLP NEWS for their big fish catches so now it’s “Congratulations” to Macy! For her 25 lb fish, Macy is Our “Guest of the Week”.

We don’t know whether or not you have been to a kiddie dance or a hat dance or a costume dance but let me tell you that trying to get pictures of all the outfits and getting the kids to pose or to stop for a second to take their picture is almost impossible. It’s like trying to herd cats. So we may not have all the winners’ pictures on the front of today’s issue but we tried to get some of the more interesting ideas and poses and faces of this month’s hat dance. We think there was less of a crowd this time because of a weather forecast of serious weather approaching and the kids usually parade up the Boardwalk and down West Shore and then into Clark Hall. Not everyone saw the news that said the dance

But, that said, there were some wonderful ideas and costumes that came to life from those ideas and now you have all the rest of the year to think of what you will do next year..... Jim and Peg McLaughlin were visiting on the Point last weekend from New Hampshire. Jim is the carver who has done such a beautiful job on turning some of our old houses’ cement mantel pieces into beautiful works of art. Just pick out the wood, he takes a few measurements, tell him what kind of carving you would like done (I have the Celtic Endless Knot) and he fits it right over your cement mantel. mclaughlincelticdesigns.com Carol Cosentino just returned from a trip to Iceland with friends from home and will be inviting the whole Point to a slide show of her trip - food and drink included. She’ll let us know when! .......

GLP LIVING HISTORY IS BACK

Graham Gavert needed some time off from his column on the “Archives” so we unearthed some stories about the “really old days” with Russell Barber and Fred Clark telling their stories to a live audience and recorded manually by Geneva de Labry! So here’s one of the stories about their friend Ronny Gandia and his car and boat.

Russell: “When they put the water main in over by the circle (Ridge Rd. and Prospect St.) we used to race around there with Ronny Gandia’s car (Fred: Oh, yeah, a big Packard) (Audience: in later years he became principal at Fitch High School.)

Yeah, right! He was the biggest pirate that ever came down the pike and ended up becoming a principal! He had a Crosley Hotshot, a little red car. He cut the top off with a hacksaw , and we used to get in that and ride through the wheat field up on the Haley farm at night. We could see all these bugs coming out of the grass, and everything.

(Laughter) I remember when he sank …

Fred: He had a hydroplane - yeah, the side of a Lightning..

Russell: Yeah, He sank - the people who lived next to Ann Camp - they had a Lightning off the Main Beach. Ronny built this hydroplane, and it had a 10 horse power Mercury motor. It went like a streak. But the bow was made out of a 2 by 6, and the plywood went like that (gestures), and he couldn’t get the motor started, so he got up and turned around, facing the motor,

and pulled on it. It took off and by the time he got turned around, he went through the side of the Lightning! (Fred: a nice sailboat).

But his father had plenty of money. Every year they had a brand new Packard. And Ronny…I remember his old man coming out on the deck of their house on Tautog Street. He came out on the deck upstairs, and Ronny’s got the extension cord out and he’s underneath this brand new Packard, and he’s got an electric drill. Rrrr, rrrr. He’s drilling holes in the muffler to make it sound really loud. His father looked down from the deck and he said, (He had quite the Spanish accent).

“Ronald! What are you doing to the car?” “Oh, nothing Dad, just going to make it sound better!”

When Ronnie started it Mr. Gandia said, “Okay, Ronald, do not get into trouble!”

So when he started it, instead of going ‘vroom, vroom,’ it went ‘gzzzh, gzzzh’. A new car every year; he had boats and everything you could think of. And we liked him, because he had everything, and he used to throw these parties. But that was all in the summertime. “ Stories for another day?

THE CONSERVATION CORNER

THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY, A new scientific study is warning that long term decline in the eastern Monarch butterfly population could doom the species to extinction if this trend is not reversed.

The population has dropped by 90% in the last 20 years, and scientist say that this is mainly due to the to loss of winter habitat (in Mexico) and new farming techniques in the U.S. that are wiping out milkweed.

They migrate from Mexico and go north to the U.S. and Canada in the spring and back south in the fall.Several generations of monarchs are born,reproduce and die during this process.

Milkweed loss is due primarily to the introduction of genetically modified crops like Roundup ready corn and soybeans that are resistant to traditional herbicides,farmers have begun to

spray more and more Roundup over wider areas.

Milkweed is a native plant that provides pollen for bees and is the only plant on which monarch butterflies will lay their eggs.It is the primary source of food for their caterpillars.The mildly toxic sap in the milkweed that the caterpillars feed on protects them from predators.

What can we do you ask?

We can harvest milkweeds seeds in the fall and disperse them where they can grow without being cut down or pulled out as weeds.You probably know this plant; it has a pod that will turn brown and open up when the seeds are ready to be harvested.They are attached to a fluffy silk-like part that will carry them in the wind.The seeds need to be stored in cold air to come out of dormancy if you are planning on starting them in the spring. Help save the monarch and plant milkweed.

15 and Under Boys’ Doubles

The 15 and under boys’ doubles and mixed doubles tournaments were great successes! In boys’ doubles, Nicholas Steiglehner and Ian Poe faced off against Miles Olivetti and Tim Wilson in the final, after battling through the other seven teams in the field. The Olivetti/Wilson team featured strong serves, but succumbed to Nick’s powerful groundstrokes and Ian’s quick volleys, 6-1.

Miles, Tim, Ian, Nicholas the 15 and under finalists!

GRAPE NOTES

by John Lombardo

with Katy Reed

Late Summer Soup

When the days start to get shorter and the nights a bit cooler this is the perfect soup.

After cooking zucchini so many ways, this is a great recipe because it uses up lots of ingredients from the garden. It can be frozen for future meals. The parmesan rind makes the soup.

Keep them on handy and you will be surprised how often you use them.

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 large onions, chopped 3 large cloves garlic, minced 3 carrots, peeled and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch rounds, larger rounds halved 2 celery stalks, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces 1 bunch red Swiss chard, leaves torn into small pieces stems cut 8 ounces green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 4 medium ripe tomatoes, peeled (optional) and diced Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper 2 medium zucchini or yellow squashes, or a combination,

Katy’s recipe this week features a soup made from vegetables. Let’s walk through a process to come up with a wine that would be an appropriate accompaniment for that dish.

My first observation is that we are dealing with vegetables without assertive flavors. They are cooked and prepared in a rather light-handed manner. For me that preparation calls for a white wine. Even though there are tomatoes in the dish, a red would be simply too overwhelming for the lightness of the soup.

A rosé might work, but it has that berryish taste that just doesn’t seem right with the parmesan cheese.

Let’s look at the more common white wines. Chardonnay will be too heavy for the delicateness of this dish. Chardonnays are typically full-bodied and are commonly fermented or aged in oak barrels. This treatment gives them a richness that will overmatch the soup. Rieslings often have a touch of sweetness that will not pair particularly well with the savoriness of this dish.

Gewurztraminer combines the two off-putting characteristics of Chardonnay and Riesling, a bit of sweetness in a full flavored, full-bodied wine. So, that doesn’t work. And then there is Sauvignon Blanc.

Sauvignon Blancs are middle weights with enough body to

cut into a 1/2-inch dice 1 Parmesan rind or 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus more, grated, for serving 1 can (15 ounces) butter beans, cannellini beans, or chickpeas, drained and rinsed Fresh basil leaves, torn if large, for serving (optional)

1.Heat oil in a large pot over medium high heat. Add onions and garlic; stirring occasionally,until onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add carrots, celery, and chard stems; cook, stirring occasionally, until chard stems are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add green beans and tomatoes. Season with salt.

Cook stirring occasionally, until beans and tomatoes start to soften, 5 minutes.

2.Add zucchini, 5 cups water, Parmesan rind, and butter beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook until all vegetables are softened, about 25 minutes, adding chard leaves in last 2 minutes of cooking.

Season with salt and pepper.

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan and basil, or freeze up to 3 months.

pair with food but not so bigboned as to overwhelm a more delicate preparation. These wines often have a grassy component which will mirror the vegetable flavors in the soup.

Lastly, Sauvignon Blancs are noted for their crisp acidity. That acid component will be a perfect foil for the richness of the soup.

We have found the varietal which will be most complementary to the food.

But a Sauvignon Blanc from where? A stroll down the aisles of your wine store will reveal Sauvignon Blancs from California, France, Argentina, New Zealand, Italy, and other countries. The good news is that I don’t think it matters. The variation in Sauvignon Blancs from different countries is more a matter of the balance among the varietal characteristics of grass and citrus. The Kiwi Sauvs present grapefruit flavors; the French are elegant; and the California versions often show grassy traits. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of these.

The perfect pairing is a wine that makes the food taste better than it might on its own. And conversely, the food should make the wine taste better than it might on its own. I think the Vegetable Soup – Sauvignon Blanc combination will fulfill that goal rather nicely.

All Booked Up!

by Bethany Buck

Mustaches are super popular right now, and here's a really silly picture book for just about anyone. Can you imagine - a baby born with a mustache? That's what happens to Baby Billy. His family takes it pretty well, as they figure out if Billy is going to be a good kind of mustache guy (police officer) or a bad guy (villain).

Mustache Baby is written by Bridget Heos and will definitely make you smile.

Everyone loves Dory the fish, the star of her own animated movie. Now is a good time to reread The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister, another book about a colorful fish. In this classic picture book, Rainbow Fish has beautiful scales -- and the book shows them in holographic foil!

But the Rainbow Fish must learn a lesson when he gets greedy and won't share his scales with others.

Kelsey Green, Reading Queen is about a girl who loves to read, like LOVES it. When a schoolwide reading contest is announced, Kelsey knows she'll help her third grade class win.

Only some kids aren't into reading, and Kelsey believes one kid in her class is cheating. How can the reading queen lose this contest? This is the first book in a series for 2nd – 4th graders by Claudia Mills.

Karn lives in a world a real dragons and trolls. But he'd rather play his favorite game, Thrones

and Bones than go out into his own magical world. If you are a middle-grader and like light and humorous fantasy, try this series Thrones and Bones, by Lou Enders. Books one and two, Firstborn and Nightborn, are out now.

There’s a cool dragon on the cover.

When you have a big family like Teddy does, you have to do something BIG to stand out. So he decides to break a Guinness Book World Record. Only Teddy's little brother 'The Destructor' always seems to get in the way. You will want to break some records of your own after reading Molly Burnham's book Teddy Mars #1: Almost a World Record Breaker. It’s for readers in the 3rd-6th grade.

Happy reading!

MARDI GRAS

How Have You Made A Difference?

In French Mardi Gras means “Fat Tuesday” a time to celebrate a carnival. A lot of celebration going on last “Fat Saturday” for GLP’s own Mardi Gras!

To honor the passing of their uncle Shawn Hurwitz, Oliver (13) and Ava (11) Hurwitz at 116 Boardwalk cooorinated a ReadA-Thon in April to support the non profit Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP), a national conglomerate of charter schools that educates underpriveledged and low resourced youth. There are 183 schools serving over 70,000 students in the USA. Oliver reached out to his Dean and Service Learning Director at Riverdale Country School, located in the Bronx, to propose the event. He created a google presentation about KIPP and presented the Read-A Thon to 300 children at his middle school. Oliver and Ava encouraged students to participate and find sponsors. Each student kept a log of the number of hours read, or the number of books read, and then collected donations. Pledges raised exactly $10,000. Ava read over six books in two weeks and will initi-

ate the project again next year!

Oliver sails on the US National Development Team, and he and Ava are both headed to the United States Optimist Dinghy Association National Championships in Texas. Oliver has also qualified in four international events and recently raced in Italy, his fourth international Opti race. This will be Ava’s second national race. She competes at the top of her age group and is near qualified for international events. We wish them luck at their open regattas.

“Jay Talking� (Tennis)

Last week’s GLPYC tennis tournament schedule was predominately dominated by the women. First, it was the July singles tourney; Megan Hill outlasted Katharine Miller in the finals, 6-3, 6-3. The following day, the women’s doubles final took place; Miller and Liz Butler edged Tenley Prince and Stacey Weinstein in a 3+-hour thriller, 61, 5-7, 7-6 (8-6).

In the singles final, Megan took control early, twice breaking Katharine’s serve to jump out to a 3-0 lead. But Katharine returned the favor, taking advantage of her pinpoint, top-spin groundstrokes, to knot the opening set at 3-3. But in the crucial seventh game, Megan overcame a 40-love deficit to once again break Katharine’s serve.

She never looked back, closing out the first set.

After Katharine broke Megan’s serve in the opening game of the final set, Megan used her court speed and quick-

Eleven teams came out for mixed doubles, the biggest turnout for a youth tournament this year. The event was very competitive through all rounds. Tim Wilson and Maggie Newell edged past Eve Stockwell and Ben Cosentino in a tiebreaker to secure the final spot in the semifinal, 7-5. In the semi’s, siblings Nicholas and Isabelle Steiglehner took down Sarah Youngberg and Ethan Schlapp, 4-3, while Elysia Hall and Aiden Sullivan defeated Tim Wilson and Maggie Newell, 4-3 as well. The final, like the rest of the tournament, was a nail-biter. In the end, Nick’s well-placed strokes and Isabelle’s consistent play proved superior, and they defeated Hall and Sullivan, 6-4.

Class A Reports

with Chris Christian

On August 31, 1954, Hurricane Carol made landfall at Groton Long Point and claimed two members of the Fishers Island One Design Class A Fleet, Turnstone and Curlew (North America's largest and most distinctive shorebird).

The Class A race last Saturday felt very much like a tropical depression (or a hurricane in some racers’ minds) as rough seas and a very strong southerly wind made for a rugged race.

With Skimmer and Gull (with Tim Christian on board for the first in years) deciding the wind was too strong for only a two man crew (and quickly withdrew from the race for the more tranquil waters of Venetian Harbor), Cormorant,

Kite, Duck, Pelican, Widgeon and Sanderling “climbed the rail� in the demanding conditions. The course was Seaflower, N22 (off South Beach), a temporary leeward mark (off Main Beach) and finish.

Grondin’s Cormorant led the pack, followed closely by Kite, Watson’s Duck, Fisher’s Pelican, Bruno’s Widgeon and Rose’ Sanderling, which turned out to be the order of finish. The strong winds proved for exciting racing and that the old wooden boats are more than capable vessels in all conditions. Another exciting week of Class A racing for next week with the ever popular Pequot Cup on tap!
