Ship & ShoreShip & ShoreHappy Father’s Day!

Chris Guvernator recalls a time a few years ago when daughter Luba was about to go off to college, son Quint was ready to unleash some serious teenage hormones and baby Lana was just taking her first steps.

“It was crazy. I thought ‘No wonder I don’t have any hair,’’’ said Chris, one of our many great Dads at NYCC. And that was before Priya checked in.

Needless to say, the journey as the Dad of four – three of the children were adopted with special needs – has been an amazing trip.

It began 17 years ago when wife Channing gave birth to Quint -- George Christian Guvernator V.

When Quint was 3, Chris and Channing adopted 10-year-old Luba from a Moscow orphanage. She arrived with “some emotional issues and not speaking a word of English,” said Chris, who took Russian classes to ease Luba’s entry into her new world.

“It was hard at first, but Luba brought us such joy over the years that we decided we owed the adoption world to do it again.”

A few years ago, they adopted Lana, now 5, from Kyrgyzstan. And last July, 4-year-old Priya, born in India, joined the family. Both children are severely vision impaired.

“The kids have been the ones who have made this work,” said Chris, 47, manager of an

engineering company. “They’ve not only had to assimilate our culture, but they’ve had to overcome some pretty big odds. I’ve learned more from them than they’ve learned from me, that’s for sure.”

The main thing “Dad Man” has learned over the years is to “be flexible and stay cool.”

“When we started out with Quint, I was pretty much the tough love guy who had plans for him,” said Chris, laughing. “Then as the family grew, I realized that approach doesn’t work so well.”

“I began to see that a father is a guy who is there to help his kids realize their potential, whatever it is. And to help them get there. But they have to be who they are.”

As Channing, a former TV news producer and now a stay-at-home mom with the two young girls, summed it up, “He doesn’t sweat the small stuff.”

It has worked out pretty well.

Luba, 24, graduated from Radford University

last month with a degree in recreation, outdoors and tourism and will be working with Outward Bound. Quint is a rising senior at Norfolk Academy with a passion for language. Lana has a prosthetic eye and Priya gets around with a cane. It doesn’t seem to slow either down. They adore their dad and tackle him as soon as he comes in the door.

“It’s hard to bring home a bad day,” said Chris, who loves to take the family out for biscuits on Saturday mornings and on fishing excursions whenever he gets the chance.

“Dad is great. He sometimes still tries to be the tough guy, but he’s not so good at it,” said Luba. “When I was little, he’d take me out for ice cream and say, ‘Gee, this ice cream smells funny. What do you think?’ Then, as soon as I put my nose to it, he’d slam the ice cream in my face. Then, we’d laugh. I’ve just been so fortunate to be in this family.”

Looking back on his 17 years as a Dad, Chris said, “This wasn’t the life I had planned. But I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

As we enter the month of June we begin our busiest time of the year at the Club. With the increased number of members joining this spring, activity levels will be at a peak. If you have not registered your children for the swim team, sailing or tennis camps, now is the time to act. The Club has an excellent professional staff in place to manage these programs and help ensure a successful and safe experience for your children.

Our popular TGIF’s return in June with as-sorted entertainment and snack bar specials. Highlights include our OpSail cookout on June 8th. In honor of Dad’s we will wel-come back the “TFC Band” poolside with a steak cookout on Father’s Day. We have also planned a Bingo and Pizza Night poolside on June 28th.

Clean the Bay Day is Saturday, June 2nd. Please consider volunteering for a couple of hours to help improve the Lafayette River

which gives us so much enjoyment. Breakfast and lunch are provided to our volunteers.

During our busy summer season some issues inevitably arise. The demands on the pool facilities, parking and restaurants are at an all time high. If you have any unpleasant experi-ences or ideas for improvements, please bring them to the attention of a manager on duty or to myself. We have a new software system in place at the pool and athletic center and ask that all members get an updated photo taken when entering. It will only take a couple of minutes and will help insure the integrity of your Club and your account. Finally, please be extra cautious when operating a motor vehicle on the Club’s grounds with school being out.

Happy Fathers Day!

Jim Grady, CCMGeneral Manager

Summer is finally here, the kids are getting out of school and the Club is a great place to keep them busy this summer.

Activities, sports, team sports are all on the menu for the summer. Whether your child wants to swim, play tennis, sail, try one of the other summer camps or participate in all of the events, Jim and his staff are up for the challenge.

We are excited about the junior schedule this summer.

The tennis program is in full swing. John and Jason have many adult and junior clinics, team tennis and events scheduled for June. The Boots Taylor Member-Member Tournament is scheduled for early June and a Mixed Doubles Social later in the month. Junior clinics and junior team tennis kick off soon after the kids are out of school.

Junior Sailing camps are filling up fast. We have an excellent staff this year and our young sailors will be learning how to conquer the wind and develop a love for the water.

The pool might be the place to be. As the weather warms up, the cool relief of the pool is there for everyone to enjoy. The swim team will start practice and many laps will be completed to get us ready for the swim meets and the swim team season. Swim team sign up has been strong and we look to have a great Sea Dragon team this year.

OpSail is coming to Norfolk June 6th through June 12th. There will be considerable activity in the harbor and around the Club. We are expecting many guest boaters to visit our facility during this event. The Club will be a great location to see the tall ships and naval vessels pass by and also a good jumping off point to get downtown.

Father’s Day is June 17th and a fun day is planned at the pool. The entertainment committee and the staff have a great day planned to entertain the Dads and also keep the rest of the family happy.

The committees have been busy getting the Club ready for the summer activities. The House Committee has been very busy and has the Main Club and the grounds looking great. Tennis, Jr. Sailing, Fitness and Pool, Entertainment and Yachting all have a great summer planned. Reach out to the

Let Us Go 4th in Celebration

The festivities commemorating America’s birthday get started in the afternoon with fun and games at the pool for

children. The traditional Beer Toss contest, where some of our members charge off the diving board and attempt to catch a bottle of beer in one hand, will get underway around 6 p.m.

The evening cookout at the pool will also feature barbecue baby back ribs, smoked brisket, Southern fried chicken and grilled marinated tuna along with baked beans, corn on the cob, potato salad, coleslaw and dessert. Buffet is just $18++ adults and $10++ children 12 and under. There will be live music by the band “Coolin’ Out” from 4-8 p.m.

Exercise your patriotic duty and come on out for a great time.

committees. All of the committees are always looking for new ideas and feedback from the members.

The new membership drive is going strong. We have fifty new members as of the end of May. Please welcome the new members to the NYCC family.

See you around the Club.Billy Dashiell

around the ClubClub Getting New

TouchesThe signs are everywhere.

More plants and pictures in the main lobby, a railing around the Terrace to create outdoor dining, lamps

and flowers in the upstairs foyer and black-and-white photos of the Club’s early days in the Grill.

It’s all part of new House Committee Chair Elise Pitts’ mission to create both more warmth and a sense of history.

Since coming on board in her role, Elise has also supervised the landscaping project outside the main entrance.

“I grew up at the Club, swimming and hanging around the pool,” she said. “It’s always been a special place. So it’s nice to serve.”

Elise and husband Murry, who worked as a bartender at the Club before becoming a member, had their wedding reception here, 28 years ago. Murry is a past president of the Club. They live in Larchmont and have two daughters, Lexie and C.C.

Elise brings a wealth of volunteer experience to the position. She donates her time to a CHKD Circle, a garden club and does floral arrangements for the Chrysler Museum.

“I have really enjoyed it so far,” she said. “I have a great staff supporting me.”

Among the crew is her mom, Barbara Aufenger, as well as Leslie Drinkwalter, Mark Poutasse and Gerard Gebler.

It sounds like Elise is just getting started. Sitting on manager Jim Grady’s desk is a two-page list of projects and ideas that she wants to undertake.

“And that,” said Grady, “is just for the month.”

He Believes in ReciprocityWhenever he’s traveling, Brian Friedman looks for a reciprocal club to stay. To date, Brian, a partner in an ad agency, has found haven at five clubs. We exchange privileges with more than 100 clubs, nationally and internationally.

“It’s so much better than staying at a hotel. The clubs are so steeped in history and have great service and amenities,” said Brian, who lists the Yale Club of New York City as his favorite.

“It has stunning rooftop dining and is right in the heart of the city,” he said. “It’s tough to beat.”

Anne’s Art Brightens DeckAnne Traylor and husband Harry were enjoying dinner at The Deck when Anne noticed something staring back at her. An empty wall.

“I said to Harry, ‘That would be a great spot for a picture.’”

Traylor’s painting of an egret against a background of blue, green and yellow “abstract” leaves has solved the problem.

“I didn’t paint it specifically for the Club,” said Anne, a life-long artist. “I’m just delighted that the House Committee thought it was nice enough to be displayed.”

The work, located near the TV sitting area, has drawn lots of attention and praise from diners and staff.

“It’s added a lot of warmth to the Deck. It’s a great touch,” said Elise Pitts, House Committee Chair.

Anne had her first painting lesson when she was 8, at the Norfolk Museum of Arts and Science, now the Chrysler Museum.

“I can’t really remember a time when I wasn’t involved doing art,” she said.

Later, she “fell in love” with hand-building sculpture that she learned at the Hermitage. She has also designed and made jewelry and memory boxes using antique costume jewelry.

Friedman has also stayed at the Penn Club, also in Manhattan, the Racquet Club of Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Club and the Naval Club in London.

“They’re all outstanding. If you like sports, the LA Club is like being in a museum and the history at the Naval Club is fantastic. More members should take advantage of the program.”

To view our list of reciprocal clubs or to learn more about arranging a stay, visit our online site. Brian isn’t sure he’ll get to the other 95 or so reciprocal clubs, but he’s working on it.

Anne also has a theatrical side. She has been an extra in the film “The Death of Ocean View Park” and “Navy Seals.” She has appeared in several commercials for Busch Gardens.

For a time, painting was put on hold, but after selling their Larchmont home and moving into a condo, Anne took up painting again.

“I didn’t have room for my kiln,” she said.

Anne became a Club member more than 52 years ago, when she married Harry. Native Norfolkians, they have two sons, Mark and Chris, and three grandchildren, Tiffany, Christopher and Cole.

Now that Anne is back at the easel more often, we hope to see more Traylor originals on the walls.

nYCC newS

A field trip to visit the American Rover and sunset cookouts are just some of the activities planned for Junior Sailing Camp.

Campers and parents can find out more about what is on tap and meet the coaches June 20 at 7 p.m. in the Lafayette Room.

Camp runs from June 25 to August 3 with two-week sessions, either half-day or all day. A big screen TV has been installed in the sailing room as an instructional aid.

Three long-standing and coveted trophies – the Hogshire, Harrell and Parson – have been dusted off and will be presented to deserving campers.

Another new feature instructors will implement this year is measuring the camper’s progress with the standards established by

CBYRA. It all should add up to a great summer.

Campers Ready To Set Sail

The Plot Thickens and NYCC is Involved

It’s 1952 and detective Walt Hodge, who lives in the apartments across the street from the Club, is hot on the case of some moon shiners who are running their booze up river.

By the time justice is served in NYCC member Will Hopkins’ mystery novel, Willowood, the Club will figure in a number of scenes, including a meeting in the Dock House and a high speed chase on the Lafayette, starting at the pier and ending with a crash into the Hampton Boulevard Bridge.

Hopkins is a long-time NYCC member, who lives in McLean, Va., and works for the federal government. He wrote the last chapters of his novel on the patio of the Club.

“I think it will be a fun read for many Club members,” said Hopkins, 55. “There’s lots of

Norfolk landmarks in the book. Doumar’s, Ocean View Park, downtown Granby Street and, of course, the Club. Some of the old-time members will recognize some of the characters, I’m sure.”

Hopkins grew up in the Riverfont section and spent his summers at the Club sailing and hanging around the pool. He comes to town often to visit his mother. His dad, Carroll Hopkins, was a well known NYCC member.

Willowood is his first novel. He started writing short stories about 10 years ago, inspired by his son, Tom, an accomplished writer.

“About a year ago, I thought I’d take a stab at a novel,” he said. “Writing about the Norfolk I grew up in seemed like fun. You start writing and the book takes lots of turns.”

Hopkins, who holds a law degree from George Mason, did most of his writing at night after work.

Willowood is available as an e-book on Kindles, Nooks or Apple iBooks. Released for only a short time, the book has sold several hundred copies, leaving the author “surprised by the positive reaction.”

Be on the lookout for the sequel, which Hopkins is hard at work on. It takes place in 1959.

Hopkins promises the Club will have another starring role.

BINGO is back and bigger than EVER! Join us on Thursday, June 28th, over on the pool lawn for Family BINGO Night. The BINGO will begin at 7:30 p.m. and before hand, we will have a special Pizza Buffet in the Snack Bar. BINGO is FREE! Buffet just $7.50++ per person.

Celebrate Father’s Day at NYCCSunday, June 17th

Bring dear old Dad out to the pool this Father’s Day and enjoy entertainment by

“The TFC Band” from 4-8 p.m.

For a poolside dinner you can treat Dad to a freshly prepared grilled rib-eye steak or a marinated tuna steak! Dinner special will run from 6-8 p.m. and includes mixed

green salad, potatoes and corn on the cob for $20++.

OpSail 2012 TGIF Welcome Party

Friday, June 8thKick off OpSail weekend right here at

NYCC. We will have a special TGIF party that Friday to welcome all those in town for the festivities. We will have a family

cookout with hamburgers, hot dogs, and fried chicken with plenty of sides for all!

Poolside entertainment will be provided by the “Ken McNeill Band” from 6-9 p.m.

YaChtingShe’d Rather Be On the Water

Anne Bibee, our new assistant director of junior sailing, caught her first fish when she was 6.

With her bare hands.

It was the beginning of a love and fascination with the water, she said in an e-mail introducing herself.

Anne will be second in command at camp to director Sarah Ebrill. Former campers and

Hail to the Champions

It was a banner year for our young sailors. They led Norfolk Collegiate to both the Virginia Interscholastic Sailing Association’s regular season and Championship Regatta titles.

NYCC sailors also took home many individual awards. Ian Stokes was named Sailor of the Year. He was joined by Anderson Granger and Tom Etheridge on the All Virginia Team.Mary Peyton Sanford was selected to the Girls All-Virginia team.

To no one’s surprise, Randy Stokes was named Coach of the Year for his commitment to the wellness of sailors and the maintenance of boats.

Maury High School finished 4th both in the regular season and the year-end regatta. Norfolk Academy placed 5th during the regular season.

Norfolk Collegiate sailed strongly at the regional level in fleet racing and will go to compete on the national level.

current sailors Teddy Stokes, Daniel Russell, Billy Van Buren IV and Perrin Priest return as instructors, as well as newcomer Layne Kennedy who is a Norfolk Collegiate sailor. Growing up, Anne sailed on the Chesapeake Bay with her parents. Later, she would sail solo small boats and as part of a team on 100-foot-plus schooners.

After attending several summer live-aboard sailing and scuba diving camps in the Caribbean, she started thinking about turning her passion into a career.

While enrolled at James Madison University, she took classes in ASA and IYT sailing. She has certified over 200 teens in sailing and diving.

Anne is back in school, at William & Mary, where she is pursuing a master’s in education. She is married to Winston Bibee, a yacht rigger and captain. They met while Anne was teaching sailing in the British Virgin Islands. The couple lives in Virginia Beach.

You can find them on the beach or hiking nearly every weekend, she said.

Anne hopes to prepare our campers with the “hard skills” necessary to excel in sailing and encourage them to build lasting friendships.

Welcome aboard, Anne.

Cruisers Head for Northern Neck

The second weekend cruise of the season will take our intrepid sailors exploring the

Chesapeake Bay, June 22-24.

The itinerary calls for arriving Friday afternoon at Matthews Yacht Club in time for dinner. Saturday includes a leisurely cruise to the Eastern Branch of the Corrotman River, where the group will anchor up at and dinghy in to the Eagles Landing pier. The pool, playground and tennis courts are available for use. There will be a potluck dinner at Eagles Landing Club House and a Sunday brunch at one of our member’s home.

Please join us. If you can make only one of the destinations, that’s cool.

Good Clean FunBring your family and join other NYCC members to help clean the Lafayette River’s shoreline. Clean the Bay Day, an annual state-wide event, is Saturday, June 2, from 9 a.m. till noon.

We will meet at the Dock House and take club skiffs across to the Norfolk International Terminal to bag as much trash and junk as we can.

Over the years, NYCC volunteers have pulled tons and tons of cans, bottles, bags, tires, boards and things that defy description out of the marshes. But it keeps washing up.

You’ll be doing a great service for our river

and the Chesapeake Bay and you’ll be setting an example for the upcoming generation to continue.

Pool Etiquette Reminders

Ocean SafetyIt’s almost summer time and that means time at the beach and in the ocean surf! Children ages 5-8 can learn how to swim and stay safe in the ocean with this upcoming workshop. Meredith will teach children about rip tides and currents. She’ll also bust out her Beater Boards and give tips on how to surf those waves.

Youngsters should have basic swimming skills. Most of the class will take place at the deep end of the pool.

Session I is 1-2 p.m. and Session II is 2-3 p.m. Sign ups required with a maximum of 4 youngsters per session.

Class will be offered on June 20th only: cost is $25 per session.

They Swing a Big Racket

Houston Wilson, a Norfolk Collegiate senior, was named 1st team all-conference. Houston, who played 1st singles and doubles for the Oaks will attend Hampden-Sydney this fall, where he plans to compete for a spot on the team.

The Keatley twins did it again. Ann-Meg and Perry, Maury sophomores, dominated Eastern District tennis. Ann-Meg won the singles title for the second year. She and Perry also teamed to win the doubles crown for a second time.

Give Us A SmileWe’re upgrading the Fitness Center check-in system, and it’s time to retake photos!

It will only take a few minutes to update your family photos. Please stop in and see us!

Third Times a CharmThe Tidewater Cup competition was held at Princess Anne Country Club on Saturday, May 12th. After all the serves had been struck, NYCC and Greenbrier C. C. had each finished with 7 of 10 matches won, out distancing PACC and Elizabeth Manor C.C., and forcing a tiebreaker. NYCC won the Cup and returned it to its rightful spot on the Tennis Shop trophy shelf. The Happy Squad members were Sid Kitterman, Greg Addison, Rick Simpson, Michael Wagner, (pictured left to right); along with Joe Byrne, Tony Irwin, Tom Forchas, Pete Forchas, Trip Heilig, Ted Broach, Larry Stoddard, Brandon Woodard, and Grey Folkes.

The battle for various tennis cups in 2012 began in April with the Virginia Cup. Contested each year among the top male players from NYCC, PACC, The Westwood Club, and this year’s host CCV. When the dust settled, NYCC had come up just one match

short to CCV and tied with Westwood, but claimed second by virtue of their winning record head to head; Princess Anne finished fourth.

The second Cup battle of the year was the Fun Cup, hosted by Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club, and again NYCC was second by a single match. Virginia Beach Tennis & C. C. took the Cup back with PACC and the combined Cavalier/Greenbrier C.C. team finishing 3rd and fourth respectively.

Something for Everyone This June

The month of June is loaded with Tennis activities starting with the Annual Boots Taylor Member-Member Tournament the weekend of June 2nd & 3rd. Two weeks later our top women’s players travel to Charlottesville to try and bring back the Anderson Cup. Finishing up the month there’s a Mixed Doubles Fiesta with a fun round robin for all levels and a Mexican feast with specialty drinks served court side.

The Junior Tennis agenda for June starts with Tennis & Pizza Night on Friday the 8th. Summer Camps begin the week of June 11th, and Junior Team Tennis matches continue all month on Sunday afternoons. Then on Saturday, June 23rd it’s the teenagers turn to travel to Charlottesville to compete for the Junior Country Club Cup.

There’s truly a tennis event for everyone in June not to mention the clinics and lessons offered by our professionals so grab your racquet and head to the courts!

We’ve added two corn hole boards to the pool lawn for the summer! Grab a friend and come play a game today!

The Sea Dragons have hit the pool for practices, but the team is still accepting registrations both online and at the Fitness Center.

Afternoon practices will continue until school lets out. The outdoor pool will be crowded, so other swimmers should schedule accordingly. Starting June 11, we begin morning and afternoon practices.

In addition to meets, there are plenty of fun events planned such as an ice cream social, relay races, the 3rd annual Sea Dragon Biathlon and t-shirt and poster design days.

Home meets are June 23 (time trials), July 7 and 14. The Sea Dragons will be away June 30 and July 21.

Sea Dragon Coaches

Still Time to Dive In

Kelsey Smith brings a philosophy of “hard work and fun” as the Sea Dragons’ new swimming coach.

Kelsey excelled in the pool and the classroom at Sweetbriar College. A freestyler and breaststroker, she placed in the Old Dominion Athletic championships all four years she competed and was team captain her senior year. She is also a four-time ODAC Academic Team selection.

“I’ve had so many great coaches to learn and borrow from,” said Kelsey, who has been

Mommy and Meswimming and coaching for 15 years. ”I hope to pass some of that on.”

She recently earned a master of arts in teaching from Sweetbriar. Kelsey lives in Virginia Beach and has a “serious boyfriend” who is a teacher at Bishop Sullivan.

The rest of the Sea Dragon coaching line-up includes Matt Elliott, who is back for his fifth season, and newcomer Alicia Huther.

Matt just graduated from VMI, where he competed in the 50-meter free and backstroke. Matt plans on pursuing a career in environmental research.

Alicia grew up in Apex, N.C. She didn’t start swimming until the relatively “old age” of 10. She swims the breaststroke at Old Dominion University, where she is a junior studying history and education.

“I am spending more time in the water than out,” said Alicia, who has been teaching private lessons at the Club since February.

Go, Sea Dragons!! Have a great season!

Mommy and Me classes let mom and baby enjoy the water together while learning how to keep your baby happy and safe in the water.

Parents Night OutIt will be a red-white-and-blue evening at PNO, June 14. In honor of Flag Day, kids should show their true patriotic colors at our “America the Beautiful” event.

Parents can drop off their children at the Fitness Center from 5:30-9 p.m. and enjoy dinner or an evening class on the NYCC premises while the kids have fun at a special evening day care.

Group ExerciseOur Group Exercise Saturday classes have changed. We’re offering a duo of specialty classes instead of our normally scheduled classes.

Join us for our Summer Series on Saturdays in June; we want to make you sweat like a popsicle on a hot summer day!

At 8 a.m., we gear up with “Beach Body Boot-Camp,” a 55 minute heart pumping mix of resistance exercises and cardio training. Each workout combines a variety of body weight movements, resistance exercises and cardio conditioning.

“Aqua Box” is at 9 a.m. Aqua Boxing is a new and unique class. It combines conservative water aerobics with high energy traditional kick boxing moves. Great for people who want high intensity aerobics, and shallow water work with practically zero impact.

These classes run for June only! Look for 2 new Summer Series classes running both July and August. Regular Group Exercise charges apply.

Hold That PoseTry a class in Yin-style yoga, designed with a slower, meditative pace than more conventional yoga. It’s a great stress breaker. Poses are meant to be physically and mentally calming. Each pose is a deep s-t-r-e-t-c-h, held for 3 to 5 minutes.

The hour-and-a-half class is Thursday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m.
