President’s Message
It is with a great deal of humility that I
write my\first president’s message to the
ConnecticuUAssociation of Golf Course Su­
perintendents. As I look at the list of past
presidents, I see many fine and distinguished
individuals. My wish and desire is to perform
and fulfill the duties of this office as well as
my predecessors have. I feel that with the
board’s help as well as the help of all the
CAGCS members we can move forward and
perform those tasks our asociation was con­
ceived to do: to bring us together to learn and
share experiences and knowledge for the
betterment of all.
Our January seminar was excellent thanks
to Jim Medeiros and the education commit­
tee who worked extremely hard in planning
the event. Between those attending the sem­
inar in Hartford and those attending on
January 14, there were 125 people who
benefited from this program. I would like to
give special thanks to Steve Cadenelli who
worked along with Jim to coordinate our
activities along with the New York group to
help defray some of the expenses.
I have been doing a great deal of listening
since elected CAGCS president, and I must
say I am a bit dismayed at some who feel the
association isn’t going in the correct direc­
tion. With this in mind, I’ve decided to
change the format of our March meeting
slightly. Under new business, I would like to
invite all those who disagree with or are
concerned about some facet of the association
or its leadership to let their feelings be
known. I’m a firm believer in the principle of
majority rule in a group such as ours, and feel
that it is important to air any grievances you,
as association members, may have. Only
then can we reach a reasonable solution. So
come to the March meeting and let your
wants and desires be known.

Osterman Elected
GCSAA
Vice-President
NEW ORLEANS, LA. - A near-record
number of golf course superintendents, club
officials, educators, industry representatives
and other turfgrass professionals participa­
ted in the 53rd International Turfgrass Con­
ference and Show sponsored by the Golf
Course Superintendents Association of
America here Jan. 30 - Feb. 5.
Exit Steve Cadenelli - Enter new CAGCS
President Michael Wallace. This passing
of the gavel took place at the annual
Christmas party held at the Chipannee
Country Club in Bristol.
Along these lines, you will receive a survey
in the mail. A member of the board of
directors will contact you about the survey,
so take a moment to look it over and familiar­
ize yourself with the answers to the ques­
tions. Steve DeVito, our social chairman, will
compile the survey results, and will use them
as a guide when planning our upcoming
social events. The director who contacts you
will be your “representative” to the board. If
you have a concern you wish to express to the
board throughout the year, feel free to contact
your “representative” and talk about it.
In (losing, I am looking forward to seeing
you at our upcoming meetings. Remember,
only those who “participate” will benefit
from our association, and the association can
only be as strong as those who participate.
Michael Wallace, CGCS

Registrations for the week-long conference
totaled 7,467, just slightly less than last
year’s record-setting conference in Anaheim,
Calif. More than 19,000 visitors passed
through the turnstiles of the turfgrass trade
show, the world’s largest display of golf
course maintenance equipment, products
and services, during its three-day run in New
Orleans’ Rivergate Exhibition Center. The
1982 Show featured more than 3l/2 acres of
displays by 212 golf- and turf-related firms.
The large turnout was especially gratifying
to GCSAA officials who noted that in a
recessionary year when most national con­
ventions and trade shows are averaging a 12
percent decline in attendance, GCSAA’s acti­
vities continue to be well attended.
The conference keynote address by golf
commentator Jim McKay attracted a near­
capacity audience of more than 2,000, and
two innovative water educational sessions,
drew as many as 1,000 listeners at a time.
The United States Golf Association’s annual
Green Section educational conference Feb. 3
also attracted more than 700 registrants.

The
“All Am erican”
CAGCS Member
I’ve been a member of CAGCS for three
years, the past year as newsletter editor, and
have served on the board of directors for two
years. During this time, I have heard pre­
sidents and officers of our association re­
peatedly urging our membership to get in­
volved - participate, cooperate, donate, com­
municate - anything to keep our association
progressing and continuing as an association
that we all can be proud of. I have watched
and noticed the members of our group who
work toward that end - those who I’ll call
from here on the “All American” members.
What does the “All-American” member dc
that the others don’t? He simply demon­
strates a continued conscientious effort to
fulfill his unwritten responsibilities to the
association. He attends as many monthly
meetings as possible and sends in his reser­
vation card to make life easier for all who are
involved in planning the meetings. When
attending the CAGCS functions, the “AllAmerican” member always makes sure he is
appropriately dressed.
The “All-American” member helps his
fellow members by occasionally offering his
club for a monthly meeting which allows his
colleagues to see how the programs he’s
undertaken are working at his club. He is
pleased to invite his Green Chairman to the
annual Green Chairman/Superintendent
tournament and his assistant to the annual
Assistant Superintendent/Superintendent
golf tournament.
He helps his own profession indirectly by
supporting the efforts of the scholarship and
research committee. He schedules an S&R
tournament at his club to raise money for stu­
dent scholarships and research projects and
always attends the annual S&R tournament
with at least one foursome. In addition, he
often contributes to the S&R fund to further
support the golf course superintendent’s pro­
fession.
It’s easy to criticize the golf committee for
the way they set handicaps and run the golf
tournaments, but the “All-American” esta­
blishes a state handicap to ease the golf com­
mittee chairman’s burden and to see that he
doesn’t collapse after two months of service.
The “All-American” member makes a
sincere effort to meet new members and to
make them feel welcome to our group. He
also realizes the need to patronize the allimportant advertisers of this newsletter.
As a fun-loving and recreational member,
he’s the one organizing a softball game at the

Club.
annual picnic and playing Santa at the
annual CAGCS Christmas party.
Many of us have a tendency to grumble in
the corner of a meeting room when we have a
gripe with the way our association is run, but
the “All-American” member offers construc­
tive criticism publicly at the monthly meet­
ings or quietly with a director or a group of
directors. This member doesn’t hesitate to
offer to assist a committee chairman with an
assigned task when he knows he can contri­
bute.
And last but not least, the “All-American”
CAGCS member is always striving to pre­
serve and, more importantly, improve his
professional position by attending education­
al conferences and seminars and often uni­
versity or community college night courses.
You know as well as I do that most of us fall
short on many of the points indicated in this
article. Yet it would take little more than a
conscientious effort for all of us to become
better CAGCS members with the result being
a highly respected and proud association
with a greatly improved self-image. When
you seriously think about the members we
respect most and perhaps subtly try to
emulate, I think you will find that they come
very close to that “All-American” CAGCS
member status.
At this time, I would like to thank those
individuals who sent me articles and news
tips during 1981, helping to make “Conn.
Clippings” a top-notch newsletter. I’m also
pleased to announce that Bill Somers of
Somers Turf Supplies has agreed to become
our new photographer. Bill’s many years of
photography experience are certain to en­
hance the quality of our newsletter.

If The Frog Croaks
Through word of mouth and research, I
found the sky could be used as a weather
informer. You’ve heard the saying, “Red sky
in the morning, sailors take warning.” This
means that high-pressure, dusty air has been
pushed eastward of you, possibly letting in
more humid air. It is most likely to rain
within a couple of days after a red morning if
you see high, wispy stratus clouds thickening
the day after a pink-hued sunrise.
A gray sunset and pink sunrise put two
rainy signals in sequence: “Evening gray and
morning red, shower rain upon your head.”
A gray evening sky following a cloudy day
offers strong evidence of inbound rain. The
sky is loaded with humidity and droplets
looking for a place to condense.
Another saying dealing with sailors and
weather is, “Red sky at night, sailors
delight.” This indicates fair, high pressure to
the west. Dry dust particles suspended in the
air give the air a pinkish glow. However, a
vivid crimson in the sunset sky indicates high
humidity to the west and suggests rain. Most
weather systems in our area move in from
west to east. Ice crystals in the high atmos­
phere west of you act like a prism, showing
you the red spectrum from your point of
view. One of the surest signs of dry air is a
glimpse of the green spectrum just as the
sun’s rim dips below the horizon.
For those who are not into watching sunsets
and sunrises,, there is another weather
indicator above you-the clouds. High clouds
are a sign of light humidity in the air and a
high “dewpoint.” A high cloud ceiling
indicates that air has to rise a long way and
cool considerably before reaching the dew­
point and condensing. A lowering cloud
ceiling indicates rain. You’ll see the ceiling
drop, for instance, when a warm front ad­
vances over you.
Cold front clouds foretell a quick, violent
storm. Your first warning is puffy cumulus
clouds that grow thicker and more turbulent.
Then, usually in the west, you’ll see a mass of
dark clouds, often capped by an “anvil”
tip pointed your way. The wall of clouds
boils, crackles with lightening and pushes a
lower, flat-bottomed “line squall” cloud
ahead of it. As you face such a system in­
vading you from the west, the surface wind
will often sweep out of the south. Clouds
overhead may be moving a different
direction than the surface winds. Then the
wall of thunderclouds hits, usually moving
30 mph or faster. The wind veers toward the

north, and by that time, you’ve probably got
the pedal to the metal on the Cushman and
heading for the shop. Cold front clouds aren’t
very subtle, but they vigorously scrub the
heavens and bring you clear, cooler air in
their wake.
The first clouds showing up on the other
edge of an advancing warm front are the
cirrus, up above 18,000 ft. where ice crystals
form. At night, cirrus - “mares’ tails” - give
the moon a soft, out-of-focus glow; then
patches of lower clouds move in. You won’t
actually see a sloping wedge with a warm
front because the slope is gradual, about 1 in
200. The leading edge of a warm front may be
200 miles past you before the ceiling lowers
from 18,000 ft. down to 8,000 ft. These lower
clouds are altocumulus. Surface turbulence
and increasing humidity combine to make
them white and fluffy at first, then gradually
thicker and darker. Now you can step up the
odds to about 30% for rain within 24 hours.
The satellite photos on TV at this stage of a
warm front’s advance will usually show a
heavy overcast not far behind the gathering
altocumulus. These are stratus, a laden, dull
overcast that seems to absorb the alto­
cumulus. Gradually humidity increases and
a slow drizzle begins as the dragging tail of
the warm front starts to pass. All the signs of
warm front activity can tell you 24 to 48
hours ahead that a long, slow fertilizer
soaking rain is likely.
If you’re not really into looking at clouds,
there are other methods of weather fore­
casting. One of these are barnyard animals.
At the time of this writing I have been unable
to convince my green committee chairman
the need of a herd of cattle, hogs, sheep,
horses or goats. If you have a more liberal
chairman, here are some animal characteris­
tics to look for in predicting weather:
CATTLE: A sharp drop in atmospheric
pressure makes cattle more excitable and ag­
gressive. As a storm nears, a cow herd on
pasture of fairways will bunch up and graze
earnestly; calves will stick closer to their
mothers. Range, or rough, cattle tend to graze
downhill toward valleys, often with their
backs to the wind. In a long warm-front
drizzle, cattle continue grazing
HOGS: Traditionally, hogs have been able to
“see the wind.” Pastured hogs trot anxiously
along fence lines as a low intensifies. Some
start looking for shelter, root around, don’t
replace divots or carry wisps of grass as an

instinctive throwback to the nestbuilding of
wild ancestors. Confined hogs may become
noisier or more frustrated, fighting more
often.
BIRDS: Birds tend to flock together and roost
or fly low to the ground before an advancing
storm. Robins take shelter in trees and
bushes. Humid, low-pressure air is less
dense and harder to fly in. On far, high-pre­
ssure days, birds fly higher. Crows which
especially hate to fly in bad weather, perch
when a storm approaches. Folk wisdom
listens to crows “calling for rain.” Sparrows
are likely to assemble on electrical wires and
chatter about an incoming storm. If it’s a
warm front with leaden skies, this will
happen up to a day or more before rain
arrives.
I
INSECTS: Crickets are nature’s ther­
mometer. Count the number of times a black
field cricket chirps in 14 seconds. Then add
40 to that count. You will have a total within
two or three degrees of your thermometer
reading. If not, your thermometer or your
counting is off, not the cricket. Remember,
the cricket may be in a cool corner while your
thermometer is up where it’s warmer. When
the temperature drops to the mid-50’s, bees
get mean, ants stay underground and flies
gang up and struggle to pry open your screen
door. Flies also get either more desperate or
irritated before a storm. They get “sticky.”
biting ravenously. Ants reinforce their hills
and cover their holes before a storm. A line of
ants carrying eggs to higher ground is a sure
sign of a gully-washing, sand-trap-erroding,
toad-strangling storm. Night crawlers, of
course, show up after a rain, but they’re also
more likely to emerge on nights before a rain.
Last, but not least, we get to the wooly bear
caterpillar. The wooly bear caterpillar is an
inch or two long, including fuzz at both ends.
There’s some evidence that the wider his
brown band in the middle, the milder the
winter. If the black on both ends crowds the
band down to less than a third of his body
length by autumn, expect a chilly winter.
All of these weather forecasters are
somewhat valid and truthful. Clouds may be
more valid than sparrows, but I wouldn’t sit
under an electrical line before a storm. There
is no better way to predict weather than to
watch professional meteorologists. On the
other hand, if you hear the frog croak, bring
your umbrella.

Osterman
Elected
(continued from p. 1)

GCSAA members elected James A. Wyllie,
CGCS, superintendent of Bayview Country
Club, Thornhill, Ont., to serve as 1982
GCSAA President. Robert W. Osterman,
CGCS, The Connecticut Golf Club, East­
on, was elected Vice President, Paul
Boizelle, CGCS, The Onwentsia Club, Lake
Forest, 111., was reelected to a two-year term
on the Association’s Board of Directors, and
John P. Hayden, CGCS, San Jose Country
Club, Jacksonville, Fla., was elected to a
three-year term as a Director.
Wyllie named James W. Timmerman,
CGCS, Orchard Lake (Mich.) Country Club,
to serve as 1982 Secretary-Treasurer, and
Richard V. Slivinski, CGCS, superintendent
of golf courses for the city of Phoenix, Ariz.,
to fill the remaining year of Osterman’s term
on the board.
Among the Conference highlights was the
Thursday night banquet and Show. At that
time, the President’s gavel was formally
passed to Wyllie from outgoing President
Michael R. Bavier, CGCS, Inverness Golf
Club, Palatine, 111. Also honored at the
banquet were outgoing Director Edward
Dembnicki, CGCS, Arcadian Shores Golf
Club, Myrtle Beach, S.C. and Past President
Melvin B. Lucas, CGCS, Piping Rock Club,
Long Island, N.Y., whose term on the board
has ended.
Alexander M. Radko, who recently retired
as national director after almost 30 years
with the USGA Green Section, was honored
during the banquet for his service to superin­
tendents and the game of golf. Radko was
presented with an engraved platter and a
tam-like cap traditionally worn by Scottish
greenkeepers.
Conference and Show activities concluded
Friday morning with a management tour of
the 95,000-seat Louisiana Superdome. The
Superdome, which has housed two Super­
bowls, the Sugar Bowl and the Duran-Leonard World Boxing Championship under its
9.7 acre roof, was toured by more than 200
conference participants.
As GCSAA’s 1982 Conference and Show
passes into history, the golf and turf indus­
tries begin to focus on Atlanta, site of the
1983 Conference. The Georgia World Con­
gress Center there will house the 1983 Show
and education sessions. The Association’s
annual preconference golf championships
will be played at Arcadian Shores Golf Club
and Myrtle Beach National Golf Club, both in
Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Future conference sites will be Las Vegas,
in 1984; Washington D.C., in 1985, and San
Francisco, in 1986. The Conference and
Show will return to New Orleans in 1987,
this time in the soon-to-be-completed New
Orleans Convention and Exhibition Center.

Dr. Richard Smiley of Cornell University receives speaker plaque from Education
Committee Chairman Jim Medeiros for his fine presentation on the effects of fungicides
on non-target organisms. Moments later, Dr. Smiley also received an honorary
membership to the CAGCS from president Michael Wallace for his continued and
dedicated service to our association.

Unionville, CT 06085
Dear Mike,
Once again, I would like to take the oppor­
tunity toformally express my thanks and deep
appreciation to the Conn. Assoc, of Golf
Course Superintendents and its members for
their continued support in my quest for the
office of Vice-President of GCSAA.Their
unending support and confidence in me gives
me the energy and desire to get the job
accomplished to the best of my abilities.
During the next two years, I will be doing a
great deal of traveling, representing not only
GCSAA but the Connecticut Association of
Golf Course Superintendents as well. I have
and always will try to uphold the dignity of the
Connecticut Association and, with the con­
tinued help and support of CAGCS, do all I
can to promote our profession and its mem­
bers on a national level.
Words are hard to come by, so I can only
say, once again, a very sincere thanks to
everyone.
Sincerely,
Robert Osterman, CGCS

Congratulations and good luck to Jim
Medeiros who left H.B, Brownson Country
Club to become Superintendent at the Avon
Country Club.
Those of you who attended the 53rd
International GCSAA Turfgrass Conference
and Show probably heard Steve Cadenelli’s excellent presentation on the fairway
renovation program he’s undertaken at the
Country Club of New Canaan. But I know
only a handful of you witnessed Fran Rog­
ers’ piano and spoon performances at the
711 club and various other clubs in the
French Quarter of New Orleans. Ask Fran
about it sometime, maybe you can get him to
“boogie” on the spoons for you!
A sincere note of thanks goes out to Jim
Fabiani and the entire staff at the Chipannee
Country Club for hosting the annual Christ­
mas party in excellent fashion.
