Due to pressing business obligations, Scott Buehler has submitted his resignation as President. of the:"Finger Lakes Chapter effective October 28, 1998. Roger Townsend, FLC's First Vice President; has become Acting President until a new President is elected at the 1999 meeting.

That meeting will be a very important one for FLC with a number of essential issues to be decided. Those present will be asked to vote on the adoption of a new Chapter Constitution and a new set of By-Laws both of which appear on the in sert included in this issue. Adoption of these two documents will give the Chapter an official set of guidelines under which to operate for the first time in many years.
The original FLC Constitution, drawn up by FLC member, John McGreivey, has long been lost. The new Chapter Constitution has been modeled aftter the ACBS Constitution recently adopted by the Society`s Board of Directors. The proposed chapter by-laws have been similarly modeled after those expected to be adoptd by the ACBS Board of Directors at their winter meeting in February 1999

Adoption of these two documents wilI1 provide the basis on which the Chapter can. proceed towards
incorporation in the State of New York and registraionwith the Internal Revenue Service as a not-for-profit organization. Now that the Chapter has grown to 200 memberships and annually realizes a significant cash flow through its treasury, it is important that the Chapter do this. Adoption also means that the Chapter will have an officially elected Board of Directors as its governing body for the first time in a long time. Candidates for the FLC Board of Directors under the new Constitution are shown in the above inset. For Chapter members who will be unable to attend the Annual Meeting, an absentee ballot is included with this copy of Brightwork. Based on the concept of one vote per charter member as defined in article II of the by laws

The annual meeting will get under way at the The Sherwood Inn, 26 West Genesee Street in Skaneateles New York with a cash bar from 5:30 to 7:00pm. A three entree buffet with the same outstanding menu as last year <stuffed breast of chicken~pasta primavera top round of beef> will follow.

A short meeting will follow dinner with the principal items of business covering the items up for for decision  as outlined earlier in this article.
Annoucements will also cover naming of the Chater's Directors at Large, the1999 Boat Show Sponsor, plans for the 1999 Boat Show Poster, plans for the Chapter to give something back to the village of Skaneateles, a new People' Choice Award and the awarding of the 1998 Presiden Cup.
The Chapter- Silent Auction will run throughout the evening with results to be announced after the Business
Meeting.., The Silent Auction is a major fund raiser for the Chapter and you are urged to continue to give it your strong support with donations that you don't need, but are probably just what a fellow wooden boater is looking for. Bring lots, bid often and have some fun! Dinner cost is $25./person, tax & gratuities included
(the same as last year), and reservations are required. Please call Shirley Marsden as soon as possible at 315-253-7505 (Eves) or 315-252-9506 (Days), but not later than Monday, January 18th, with your
reservations. Checks, made out to the Finger Lakes Chapter,ACBS, can be sent beforehand to Shirley
at 67 l/2 East Genesee St., Auburn, NY 13021.

ANTIQUE BOA T SHOW WILL BE A MAJOR attraction at the 1999 Central New York Winter Boat Show at the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse. In 1998 the woodies helped draw some 20,000 visitors to the event.

Wooden boats will again be provided by the Antique Boat Museum and FLC members are invited to help set-up, staff and tear-down the dis play. Last year's participation by FLC was very successful, attracting several new members to the Chapter, and volunteers had a busy time handling visitors' curiosity about the antique boats on display and wooden boats in general.
Arnie Rubenstein is again coordinating arrangements with the ABM and the CNY Show. If you can volunteer some time, please give Arnie a call at 315-637-8522.

Roots Moving To Minnesota
LATER THIS MONTH FLC WILL BE LOSING A family that has long been a loyal supporter of the Chapter
 Bill Root has accepted a new position with his firm, Pillsbury, Inc., and that means a move to company headquarters in Minneapolis, MN. Bill and Kathy joined FLC in 1991 and have been actively involved in the Chapter since then. For the last several years Bill has been responsible for organizing the Chapter's annual winter workshop. His whole family's involvement in doing a superb job handling launch and reloading operations for the Boat Show has set the standard for how it should be done.  And on top of all that, Kathy found time each year to lend a hand with the Ship's Store. It will be hard to get along without the Roots and they will be very much missed. We wish them the very best in their new home near the St. Croix River. Minnesota is the center of a flourishing antique boating area and we're confident that they will find many new friends in the Bob Speltz Land-O Lakes Chapter of ACBS. But we still hope they'll come back to Skaneateles and upstate New York whenever they can. Thanks, Bill & Kathy, and happy boating in the Land of Lakes.

Susan Buehler Wins Mary Herwig Award
I N 1995 THE MANOTICK CLASSIC BOAT Club very generously underwrote the creation of an ACBS award in memory of one of their members, Mary Herwig. Mary was a dynamo of energy in both the Manotick Chapter and ACBS operations, becoming Vice President of the Society in 1993.  In1994, she declined the nomination for the ACBS presidency because of declining health, and in 1995 she subcumbed to cancer.  Knowing that she would have been an extraordinary President, the ACBS Board of Directors voted to make her an Honorary ACBS President for I995.
The Mary Herwig Award is given to honor an individual who has broadly enhanced and furthered the aims of antique and classic boating and ACBS at the chapter level.  Nominees are submitted by chapter presidents and the selection of a recipient is made by the ACBS Awards Committee. The 1998 recipient is Susan Buehler who was recognized for her many years of involvement in the Finger Lakes Chapter and ACBS. Susan served as FLC President from 1988 to 1991 and was largely responsible for moving the Chapter's Annual Boat Show to Oswego in 1991, and then to Skaneateles in 1995. In 1996 she served as Secretary of ACBS.
Congratulations, Susan, on receiving this award.

Membership Reminders
ACBS MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS FOR 1999 were mailed out last month. Please update and correct them, and return them to ACBS Headquarters as soon as possible for inclusion in the 1999 ACBS Directory.For FLC members who are not members of ACBS, please forward 1999 FLC dues ( $15.) before year end to:

ACBS And Its Chapters
BY DEAN GUY , ACBS DIRECTOR-AT LARGE & CHAIR CHAPTER RELATIONS COMMITTEE
THE NATURE OF OUR VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION is that the leadership changes annually at both the chapter and international levels. One of the problems attendant with this constant change is that information communicated by both groups is many times lost in the process of transition.  ACBS is a federation made up of its chapters. Because we have a headquarters and an Administrative Manager, we are able to maintain much-needed continuity. The chief purpose of the international organization is to be of service to the chapters and individual members.  Although we may not have done a good job of communicating this fact recently, each Chapter President is a member of the ACBS Board of Directors. To quote from The ACBS Constitution: "The governing body of the Society shall be the Board of Directors, comprised of all Officers, 15 Directors, the Immediate Past President of the Society and the Presidents of the Society's chapters." Many chapters have taken great pains to send a member to ACBS quarterly Board Meetings and Annual Membership Meetings with a voting proxy whenever their president is unable to attend.  All members of ACBS are also invited to attend the Society's quarterly Board of Directors Meetings and Annual Membership Meetings. Why not plan to attend a Board Meeting and gain a first-hand acquaintance with the activities going on in our organization?

Editor's Column
The Finger Lakes Chapter has grown substantially over the last few years and is now closing in on the 200 membership mark. And that growth is good. It provides a strong base on which the Chapter can operate, plan and build for the future. But with growth, there inevitably is more to be done, which means there is an on-going need for more mem bers to get involved in Chapter operations. And there is a need to identify those who will lead the Chapter in the future.If you are interested in participating more fully in Chapter operations, please let Roger Townsend know. You'll be glad you did!
Many thanks to Doug Vittum who put together the recap of the Fall Outing to Lake Winnipesaukee. The story of that most enjoyable weekend will be completed in the March 99 issue.
Thanks again to Morley Smith for his article on finding an old race boat. But what do you think of his
article? Does anything about it leave you wondering? There are some characters named Bowgus, Big Bang Boris and Hoccus. Did Morley make up these names because he couldn't remember the real names of the characters he encountered, or is there more to it than meets the eye? If you confront Morley with these questions, you're likely to get a drawn look with a twinkle in the eye that leaves you just as uncertain afterward as you were before!
Thanks for the many compliments about the September issue of this newsletter.  A last minute change in where the color printing was done, the machine it was done on and the weight of the paper used, all contributed to a finished product that was better than originally expected. But the cost of color remains prohibitive for regular use. Next year we'll plan to try it again.
I guess it's appropriate to mention that yours truly was awarded the ACBS President`s Cup by outgoing ACBS President, Tom Flood, for ongoing efforts as a Director of ACBS. Many thanks, Tom, for that expression of appreciation. -Dick

1998 Fall Outing 
December 1998 BY DOUG VITTUM

THIS YEAR'S FALL OUTING WAS TO L AKE Winnipesaukee, NH. Obviously an Indian name, there Are two translations that most frequently appear:"Smile of the Great Spirit" and "Beautiful Water in a High Place." Once on the lake, you'll agree that either translation is appropriate.Formed by glaciers, Winnipesaukee is about 25 miles long and twelve miles wide with 164 miles of shoreline, 72 square miles of surface water and 274 "inhabitable" islands. Depth ranges up to 200 ft. The number of boats on the trip varied from day to day, but all told there were 16 wooden boats and 64 people. Our base of operations was Sandy Point Beach Resort, located near the southwest end of Alton Bay at the most southerly reach of the lake. Providing the best dockage we've ever had, quiet rooms and a great restaurant, you couldn't ask for more.

1998 FLC Fall Foliage Cruise BY ROGER TOWNSEND

ON SEPTEMBER 26TH, FIVE BOATS FROM THE Finger Lakes Chapter launched at the Midway Marina in Weedsport, NY to begin a leisurely cruise down the Seneca River to Baldwinsville.
First in the water was Allan Breese's 1952 Hutchinson piloted by Allan's parents, Haq & Winnie Breese, and Allan's brother, Don, who were filling in while Allan attended his daughter's soccer match. Next to launch was Roger Townsend's 1953 Holiday followed by Jeff Williams' 1959 Century with daughter, Michelle, as naviga
tor. Next down the ramp was Ed Ritter's 1956 Century Resorter with Matt Sherrill's 1956 Capri close behind.
At 10:3Oam we were underway and as we approached Cross Lake, we were joined by Doug & Nancy Persse in their 1941 Garwood Vacationer.
As we continued on toward the Lock 24 Restaurant under balmy 70+ degree weather, everyone noticed the number of large trees uprooted by the Labor Day storm and the great variety of birds sighted, including an osprey. After scaling the six foot high bulk head at Lock 24 and tying up the boats, everyone enjoyed the good food and beverages at the restaurant, (compliments of the Chapter) and the camaraderie of the group which had grown to twelve with the arrival of Deanne Townsend and Allan Breese who had returned from the soccer wars. The return cruise featured a brief shower and a full throttle run around Cross Lake. By 4:30 everyone was out of the water and on their way home after a day spent doing what is more fun than anything else;

I'm searching for information on a boat   "Beuhler Turbocraft" built in late1950's and early 60's  My son and I have one built in 1960  trying to restore.In web search I found name of some of your club officers were "Beuhler" thought might be a connection.The boat  is 16' runabout fiberglass hull , has inboard Ford V8 with turbo-jet ,motor seems to be in good shape but would like to know abount how interior finished,and any history on builder.  any info would really be appreciated

We are researching this sailing skiff that we recently acquire from the Lake George region of New York State...                She is 17' long.48''beam, double ended sailboat with a leaded drop keel...There is a 3 stepped mast forward and 1 mast in the stern deck  (bowdish style)...There are two sets of oar locks that are fastened with square headed screws which leads us to believe that the boat was built in Canada...The decking  looks to be mahogany strips much like the early disappearing propeller boats or as they are better known as dispro's/ I  understand that Peterborough also used this style of decking as well as     other boat builders of this area...The hull looks to be cedar with a oak  coaming and possibly a fir floor...   The rudder is set-up with a line that runs along the deck which allows for  steerage from any position in the boat... The hardware is all brass and looks to be correct....We have not found any  makers tags or builders marking..any help in determining the age or maker        would help us greatly in the restoration process..   email The Fetridge Family
