Visions of Lewis and Clark Visions of Lewis and Clark The “Visions of Lewis and Clark” kite collection is based on This exhibit also says thank you to the Native American nations actual quotes from the journals of Captains Lewis and Clark. that assisted the Corps members across native lands. Some are tributes kites, honoring people or places that the Corps of Discovery encountered and documented on their Kite flying is… journey. Made by the greatest kite builders in America, the some kites, kites all fly well, have unique sparring styles, exhibit fine some winds, craftsmanship and use innovative, artistic materials. and a few good friends. This exhibit interprets events from 1803 until 1806 when the thirty-three explorers made their arduous journey across America. Everyone in the Corps is remembered again when people see these pictures in the sky. Each kite tells a story Terry Zee Lee about our grandest, national, multicultural adventure. President Title: Tribute to Jefferson Kite Builder: Harold Ames of Virginia Kite Size: 11’ by 8’ 2” Kite Style and Materials: adapted from Japanese Shirone style kite with washi paper skin and bamboo frame to the modern materials of ripstop nylon skin and carbon graphite. Kite Topic: President Thomas Jefferson to Lewis - June 20, 1803 “The object of your mission is to explore the Missouri River and such principal stream of it, as, by its course and communication with the waters of the Pacific Ocean, whether the Columbia, Oregon Colorado or any other river may offer the most direct and practical water communication across this content for the purposes of commerce.” Ames and his wife decided to take a tour of Thomas Jefferson’s home, Monticello, and while there he was saw the original 1805 Edgehill Portrait of Thomas Jefferson by Gilbert Stuart that hangs in the entrance hall. Instantly he knew that he wanted to see Thomas Jefferson’s face rather than his words flying with the clouds. Title: Monumental Task Kite Builder: Deb Lenzen of North Dakota Kite Size: 6’ Rokkaku Kite Style and Materials: Rokkaku kite style, 3/4 ounce ripstop nylon sewn with an appliqué technique, framed in fiberglass and carbon. Kite Topic: A Tribute to the Captains Captain Meriwether Lewis, Aug. 18, 1774 – Oct. 11, 1809 Captain William Clark, Aug. 1, 1770 — Sept. 1, 1838 Deb Lenzen decided to use the symbol that most Americans recognize: the silhouettes of Lewis and Clark found on the highway markers of the trail. The explorers are facing west, imagining their journey to the Big Waters of the Pacific Ocean. They figuratively are standing in the foothills of the Rockies with the Missouri River at their feet. The blazing sunset before them serves as a beacon forever pulling them westward to the Big Waters of the Pacific Ocean. They will cross green fertile valleys and foreboding mountain ranges, but the setting sun will continue to lead them toward their goal. Title: Roster of the Corps Kite Builder: Sam Huston (deceased) of Washington State Kite Size: 40’ x 36” Kite Style and Materials: ripstop nylon with appliqué letters. Kite Topic: Tribute kite to the Corps of Discovery. This kite lists the Corps of Discovery members that left Fort Mandan for the Pacific. An accurate list of names and spellings took more than one effort because the explorers’ journals are not known for accurate spelling. Even so, there is one “n” missing from Charbonneau, and Huston’s kite was nearly complete when he discovered the missing letter. He excused the error and determined that the omission was deliberate, in the fashion of the Persian rug maker. The rug maker’s claim is that to attempt to make something perfect is to try to emulate God so a discrepancy is always included. Title: Musquetoe Torment and the Dog Seaman Kite Builder: Sharon Musto, Winnipeg, MB, Canada Kite Size: about 6’ by 4’ Kite Style and Materials: The mosquito kite has never been made before; it was invented for this exhibition, but evolved from a double hexagonal noodle prototype. The black lines are all individual spars. The spars suggest the jointed legs found in insects. When kite is in the air, its wings flap all the time not unlike mosquito wings. Kite Topics: Lewis – September 11, 1803 “My dog was of the Newfoundland breed, very active, strong and docile.” Lewis – July 15, 1806 “The mosquitoes continue to infest us in such a manner that we can scarcely exist . My dog even howls with the torture he experiences from them.” The kite represents the hordes of nasty mosquitoes that tormented the entire Corps of discovery, including Meriweather Lewis’ dog Seaman. This female mosquito points down menacingly at her target. The kite builder cringes when she tries to imagine the unrelenting torture that the explorers and their dog endured that summer. Although this “dogg of the Newfoundland breed” is mentioned frequently in the journals, there is not a lot of detail. Lewis never explained why he bought this breed, although it was certainly a good choice due to its size, strength, and ability to swim. Title: Montana Prairie, Coyotes and Prairie Dogs Kite Builder: Betty Street of Texas Kite Size: 8’ Kite Style and Materials: patchwork nylon Rokkaku kite – Quilting technique using hundreds of small pieces Kite Topic: Lewis - May 23, 1804 “The country is as yesterday beautiful in the extreme . the small wolf or burrowing animals are very active, fleet and frequently bark . of a pale, reddish brown color, the eye a deep sea green . .” Lewis - May 5, 1805 “There is a large assemblage of the burrows of the Burrowing Squirrel . .; I am astonished how this anamal exists as it dose without water. .” The team was amazed that the animals could survive without water as there was no obvious available water anywhere. Coyotes were described as a small burrowing wolf with golden coat and pale green eyes and had never been seen before. Title: Spirit of the Horses Kite Builder: built by Steve Ferrell / painted by Terry Zee Lee Kite Size: 8’ Kite Style and Materials: ripstop nylon rokakku Kite Topic: Lewis – letter to Jefferson on April 7, 1805 “The circumstances of the Snake Indians possessing large quantities of horses, is much in our favor, as by means of horses, the transportation of our baggage will be rendered easy and expeditiously overland, from the Missouri to the Columbia.” Horses were important to the Native Americans as well as to the Corps of Discovery. Native Americans believed horses were gifts from the Great Spirit. Lewis knew if the Corps hadn’t found the Snake Indians, and if the Snakes hadn’t chosen to help the Corps, the members of Lewis and Clark’s group wouldn’t have made it over the mountains and the journey to the Pacific would have failed. The Indians’ gift of the horses was the key to the success of the journey. Title: Wild Horses Kite Topic: Tribute kite to the horses Susan Lennon decided to do horses because these animals were Kite Builder: Susan Lennon key to journey’s success. Horses provided transportation for the Kite Size: 10’ wide x 3’ high men and their provisions, food and barter material. The horses Kite Style and Materials: Genki- shaped kite made by painting on know that their survival is in their unity, and it just seemed right ripstop nylon with Sharpie markers, then gone over with a rag to have four of them charging out at the viewer. This design was doused in alcohol to diffuse the color. in honor of their strength, agility and beauty. Title: Nine Feathers Kite Builders: Eric Curtis and Ann Sloboda of St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada Kite Size: 8’ Kite Style and Materials: Rokkaku kite – silkscreened onto ripstop nylon with five handmade nylon feathers Kite Topic: This tribute kite honors various Native Americans who assisted the Corps on their journey. Four chiefs, represented by the four eagle feathers on the main quadrants, continually helped the Corps by feeding them, taking them in, and supplying horses and materials. The Corps needed help to get east over mountains in 1806 because points of reference were gone from the trees, a result of winter conditions. Five young Nez Perce men, who acted as guides, are represented by the five hawk feathers that hang from the points of the kite. The background is divided into four sections with colors chosen to represent the four cardinal points of the compass. The color scheme of white, yellow, red and black is basic to native traditions as are the organic connecting lines of the feathers’ wrappings. Title: Pablo . in honor of the Bears Kite Builder: Adrianne Balmer of Virginia Kite Size: 17’4” Kite Style and Materials: two-line hand painted ripstop nylon figure kite Kite Topic: Lewis - May 6, 1805 “I find that the curiosity of our party is pretty well satisfied with respect to this animal. The formidable appearance of the male bear killed on the 5th, plus the difficulties with which they die has staggered the resolution of several of them. Captain Clark and Drouillard killed the largest brown bear which we have yet seen. He measures 8’7” from nose to hindfoot.” Title: Ghost Herds Kite Builder: Barbara Meyer of Minnesota Kite Size: 12’ wide with a 30’ tail Kite Style and Materials: double delta coyne, ripstop nylon, appliquéd and pierced Kite Topic: Lewis - April 16, 1805 “We saw immense quantities of game in every direction around us as we passed up the river; consisting of heards of buffaloe, Elk, and Antelope with some deer and woolves.” Lewis – May 26, 1805 “These points of the Rocky Mountains were covred with snow and the sun shone on it in such a manner to give me the most plain and satisfactory view.” The mountains appeared over the horizon each day as the Corps of Discovery traveled.

  • How Transient Patches Affect Population Dynamics: the Case of Hypoxia and Blue Crabs
    Ecological Monographs, 76(3), 2006, pp. 415–438 Ó 2006 by the Ecological Society of America HOW TRANSIENT PATCHES AFFECT POPULATION DYNAMICS: THE CASE OF HYPOXIA AND BLUE CRABS 1,3 2 1 CRAIG A. AUMANN, LISA A. EBY, AND WILLIAM F. FAGAN 1Department of Biology, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742 USA 2Wildlife Biology Program, University of Montana, Missoula, Montana 59812 USA Abstract. Transient low-oxygen patches may have important consequences for the population dynamics of estuarine species. We investigated whether these transient hypoxic patches altered population dynamics of the commercially important blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) and assessed two alternative hypotheses for the causal mechanism. One hypothesis is that temporary reductions in habitat due to hypoxia increase cannibalism. The second hypothesis is that crab population dynamics result from food limitation caused by hypoxia- induced mortality of the benthos. We developed a spatially explicit individual-based model of blue crabs in a hierarchical framework to connect the autoecology of crabs with the spatial and temporal dynamics of their physical and biological environments. Three primary scenarios were run to examine the interactive effects of (1) hypoxic extent vs. static and transient patches, (2) hypoxic extent vs. prey abundance, and (3) hypoxic extent vs. cannibalism potential. Static patches resulted in populations limited by egg production and recruitment whereas transient patches led to populations limited by the effects of cannibalism and patch interactions. Crab survivorship was greatest for simulations with the largest hypoxic patches which also had the lowest prey abundance and lowest crab densities. In these simulations, nearly all crab mortality was accounted for by aggression, not starvation.

This year, US Sailing Event Chairman, Drew Daugherty, selected the Lightning sailboat and asked the Carlyle Sailing Association to host the event. Twenty skippers, who are the reigning National, International, or North American Champions of their respective classes, are invited to compete. As the reigning Y-Flyer International Champion, I was invited to represent our class. The regatta was managed with precision by Drew Daugherty and Regatta Chairman, Matt Burridge, as well as a cadre of volunteers. The regatta began Wednesday morning with registration and a Lightening overview, including sailing tips, for my crew, Pat Passafiume and Steve Roeschlein, and myself. The remainder of Wednesday was spent honing our skills with several hours of practice racing and sailing. The afternoon practice races brought winds from the north in the low teens, white capping waters and air temperatures in the mid 40’s with a very cloudy and gray sky. The practice race course was approximately nine-tenths of a mile to windward, a mile to a leeward gate, and one- tenth of a mile upwind to the finish.

  • 2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey
    2019 One Design Classes and Sailor Survey [email protected] One Design Classes and Sailor Survey One Design sailing is a critical and fundamental part of our sport. In late October 2019, US Sailing put together a survey for One Design class associations and sailors to see how we can better serve this important constituency. The survey was sent via email, as a link placed on our website and through other USSA Social media channels. The survey was sent to our US Sailing members, class associations and organizations, and made available to any constituent that noted One-Design sailing in their profile. Some interesting observations: • Answers are based on respondents’ perception of or actual experience with US Sailing. • 623 unique comments were received from survey respondents and grouped into “Response Types” for sorting purposes • When reviewing data, please note that “OTHER” Comments are as equally important as those called out in a specific area, like Insurance, Administration, etc. • The majority of respondents are currently or have been members of US Sailing for more than 5 years, and many sail in multiple One-Design classes • About 1/5 of the OD respondents serve(d) as an officer of their primary OD class; 80% were owner/drivers of their primary OD class; and more than 60% were members of their primary OD class association. • Respondents to the survey were most highly concentrated on the East and West coasts, followed by the Mid- West and Texas – though we did have representation from 42 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. • Most respondents were male.

  • Power and Propulsion Wind Speed
    Power and Propulsion Wind Speed Grade Levels: 1 st , 2 nd , or 4 th Academic Content Areas: Science, Technology, & Engineering Topics: Earth & Space Sciences; Physical Science; Science & Technology; Scientific Inquiry; Scientific Ways of Knowing Main Problem/Essential Question How Much Wind Do We Need to Fly a Kite? Summary Students will learn some of the same lessons the Wright Brothers learned as they gathered information from flying kites and used that information to inform their design of a flying machine. As the students observe changing wind speeds, they are led to wonder if the wind plays a role in our ability to fly. Students will design and construct an anemometer and then explore the power of the wind by measuring wind speed with their anemometer and comparing that anemometer speed with Beaufort Scale readings. In order to test the wind’s ability to create propulsion, students will attempt to power/fly a kite at various wind speeds. Big Idea(s) The wind can move objects like leaves, plastic grocery bags, kites, and gliders. The wind on a sail powers a sailboat; the force of the wind on the paddles of a windmill harnesses the energy of the wind to grind grain or pump water; the force and direction of the wind on wind turbines harnesses the energy of the wind to generate electricity to send to many homes and businesses in a community. An anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed. The Wright Brothers used wind information from flying kites to design their flying machines. Focus Questions 1.
