Learn about the Squadron and Share
Your Thoughts and Ideas
If you desire a fruit cup instead of the planned dessert, please
It’s hard to believe how fast this January and February have
flown by. Immediately after our squadron Change of Watch,
we headed off to Jacksonville to the Annual National Meet-
ing. Sarasota was well represented with most of the Bridge
attending.
One of the highlights for me was Sarasota winning 2nd and
3rd prizes for the Youth Poster Contest in the age appropriate
categories. Thanks for the hard work of Lt Vivian
Seagraves, P and P/C Sue Lomastro, AP on the contest.
P/C Sue Lomastro, AP and Lt/C Richard Winston, JN attended the Leadership
Training session while Lt/C Bob Holmes, AP attended the Virtual Trainer Seminar,
On-the Water Training and other events. Lt/C Gary Wells, AP manned the Ama-
teur Radio Booth and was appointed President of the USPS Ham Radio Club. P/D/
C Bob Barber, SN and I attended the Marketing and Public Relations Committee
meetings and the Executive Department meeting. Everyone had a chance to tour
the Expo.
I made two presentations on Squadron Rejuvenation which were very well
attended. Fifty-five people attended the first session and sixty-five attended the
second session. I have been asked by National to head up a project working with
two districts in California. I’ll have more to share with you at a later time as they
are still working out the details.
On Saturday Sue Lomastro, Richard and Murdell Winston and Bob and I attended
the Annual Meeting as the squadron delegates. The Fall Governing Board Meeting
scheduled in San Diego has been moved to the week of 23-30 August due to a con-
flict with the hotel. The change was approved at the annual meeting on Saturday.
Brand identification was a big topic of discussion. New guidelines make all materi-
als from National have a consistent look: same fonts, colors and logos. Our con-
sultants recommended that all squadrons use the name United States Power Squad-
rons above the squadron name. We are moving away from using the acronym
U.S.P.S. which often caused confusion about our organization and the United
States Postal Service. On Saturday evening, Sue, Bob and I attended National’s
Change of Watch Dinner Dance and left for home on Sunday morning.
Our Executive Committee approved the purchase of the Virtual Safe Boating
Simulator to be used with the ABC, Seamanship, Piloting and On-the Water cours-
es. We are so excited about the possibilities of this addition. Many thanks to P/C
Bill Boos, AP and Lt/C Bob Holmes, AP for all the hard work they have put into
making this happen for our squadron.
So far we have attended seven Changes of Watch for the District 22 squadrons. We
also attended the 67th Anniversary celebration of the Boca Ciega Sail and Power
Squadron.
Be sure to mark your calendars and plan to attend the District 22 Spring Conference
in Tampa on Saturday, 17 April, 2015. Our very own P/C Sue Lomastro, AP has
been nominated to move up to District Administrative Officer. Let’s be sure we
have a large turnout for this special Change of Watch. Also, there are a large num-
ber of new Round Tables discussions that will be presented. On-the-Water Power
Boating Course will be presented by Lt/C Bob Holmes, AP. Check out the flyers in
the South Wind or the Beacon for all the new Round Tables.
By the time this newsletter goes out, the Squadron will be off to the Caribbean on
the Commander’s Cruise. Forty-four members will take lots of pictures and have
fun things to tell you about next month. We leave on Sunday, 1 March and return
on Sunday, 8 March. See you then.

EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S UPDATE
“A moment of choice is a moment
of truth. It’s the testing point of
our character and competence.”
- - - Stephen Covey
Chaplain’s Corner
P/D/C Robert D. Barber, SN

What’s Knot in the News
Every once in a while somebody asks me, “Why do
we fly the Squadron Burgee above the National En-
sign on our flagpole at the Squadron?” File this in
your trivia bank—because it’s a gaff-rigged flag
pole-now who didn’t know that!!
The usual argument by those who think it is wrong to fly the national
ensign from the gaff is that the national ensign shouldn’t fly below a club
burgee or other flag; the Flag code states that the national ensign always
flies above. Notice that even when the national ensign is flown from the
stern of a ship, it is lower in height than other flags flying on the ship.
When the ensign is flown from a gaff-rigged pole, a flag flown at the top
of the mast is not considered above the ensign because it is not being
flown directly above the ensign on the same halyard. So there you have
it—just think of the flagpole as the mast of a ship and the gaff which in
this case is attached to the mast, but on a ship in port the gaff is actually
attached to the stern. All Navy and Coast Guard veterans know where the
national ensign is when the ship is tied to the pier, because each time you
came aboard or departed your ship you always faced the stern, where the
gaff was rigged, and rendered a salute to the national ensign before your
coming or going. I still do it to this day when I go aboard a military ship
of the line.
I moved to Sarasota in November 2010 and I drove by this grey building
on the corner of Tuttle & Hyde Park and saw the national ensign flown
on a flag pole after dark unlit!!!! I noticed the building sign said
“Sarasota Power & Sail” and I thought, “What a bunch of goobers, they
don’t even know how to show respect to our country’s flag”. Well here it
is February of 2015 and the issue has finally been rectified by our in-
house handy man (and outstanding education officer) Gary Wells. Not
only did he get all the lights on that dark north end of the building work-
ing, he also got the flood that shines on our national ensign working. It’s
an electric eye, so it is on whenever it gets dark.
Gary also upgraded all the flood lights that shine into the parking lot to
the new CFL type spots—they have the ‘curly q’ style bulb inside,— and
replaced the oblong lights mounted on the building with CFL bulbs. Just
for Barry, Gary put an extra bright bulb by the door near the key pad. He
also replaced the entire lighting fixture over the double doors with a new
energy efficient unit that is much brighter and uses new technology
tubes. Gary estimates the energy savings at 30-40 % for those changes
alone. In the coming years, all the florescent tubes will be upgraded in-
side the building to more energy efficient lighting. Gary is another one of
the many people at SPSS that enjoys giving back to an organization that
gives so much to him—just ask him, he isn’t shy!!!
Oh--- don’t forget to say “Thanks Gary—you light up my life!” the next
time you see him.
So there you have it—all that’s knot in the news—have a great day—and
get your VSC INSPECTION TODAY !!!!!

P/C Susan Lomastro, AP, Membership Co-Chair
Lt Bud Lomastro, S, Membership Co-Chair
SPSS was very visible at the USPS National Annual
Meeting in Jacksonville in January at USPS’s trade-
show. The National Squadron Activities Committee
contains subcommittees one of which is Amateur Radio.
This committee has been somewhat inactive due to lack
of attention as energies focused on other programs.
Working with the National Activities Committee chair-
person, our SEO Gary Wells, AP took the lead, to be-
come the primary contact as the new Chair of the Ama-
teur Radio Committee. Gary set up a booth at the trade
show to demonstrate the hobby, display changes in
technology, illustrate what SPSS has been doing with
this hobby at the local level, and how Marine Radio har-
monizes nicely with Amateur Radio. The booth had
great attendance during the show.
An effort to create a ham radio member directory was
undertaken by collecting member names that came
through the trade show. We collected over 75 member
names that were or currently are hams. There is now a
selection in DB2000 that will help collect member in-
volvement in the hobby when membership is renewed. It
is estimated that there are over 500 ham radio enthusi-
asts throughout all of USPS membership.
USPS also has an amateur radio club that operates under
a memorandum of understanding with the American
Radio Relay League of Newington, CT, the primary or-
ganization of the ham radio community. As this club
conducts its officer elections, Gary Wells will be nomi-
nated to become the president of the USPS Amateur
Radio Club and will be working to market and promote
the hobby throughout USPS.
Keep an eye out for a future article in The Ensign re-
garding SPSS’s involvement with the open water email
system Winlink; our squadron is the only one in USPS
with this capability to assist open water boaters.

SPSS LIBRARY
Every single answer any mariner would ever need is available to you
through our SPSS library. My dear friend, P/C Tim Koverman, JN started
the library and catalogued the entries. With his own labor and funding,
he built this library and it’s neighboring workshop for all your needs as a
Power Squadron member.
I do my best to safeguard his priceless legacy — our legacy to the future.
And it is all very, very easily acquired. For example, every possible
answer you need is located in the northeast corner slanted shelving –
definitive answers for every conceivable situation are in the books written
by famous navigators Bowditch and Duttons.
Located throughout your library are endless detailed printed materials to
give you intriguing answers to specific issues you might want to delve
into. There are charts and maps for all your fantasies to come to life.
Please browse through everything and give yourself encouragement for
the wonderful world of travel as a mariner. I am simply the custodian of
all this knowledge. You are your own happiness, should you want it.
Welcome to the library.
