To me, one rotten apple spoils the whole basket.

http://aloha.net/~westfal/sea_0885.jpg is all it takes for me.

Look at the horizontal alignment of "-Rick Ermshar", and how it floats up
higher than the rest of the text on the very same line.

Look at the difference in the coloration immediately surrounding "-Rick
Ermshar" as compared to the rest of the scanned area -- it's considerably
darker in tint.

To me, this is an alteration of the actual printed material -- a scizzors-type
cut and paste job -- thereby rendering all other evidence offered in this post
ZERO credibility -- just like the "author".

Yes, there definitely is a darker shade surrounding his name. Actually
it's a lousey job,
done by a lazy oaf. Good eyes Yoda.

I took a few minutes this morning to review the material posted to the Internet
by Sharon Westfall.

>7/85 SEA magazine - technical article about sailing at night
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/sea_0785.jpg

Looks good, unfortunately I am not aware of the magazine SEA. It seems to me
that SEA is a regional magazine and not a major national publication.

>5/88 SAIL - Manzanillo (Mexico) race article and photos
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/sail_0588.jpg

Finally, a magazine that I am familiar with. Unfortunately, all the scans for
SAIL magazine are too blurry to read.

>3/92 SAIL - galley proof of technical article about Man Overboard rescue
>procedures
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/manoverboard.jpg
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/manoverboardb.jpg
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/manoverboardc.jpg

It seems rather ridiculous to me that Ermshar would include this to support his
statements. This galley proof proves nothing except that he wrote an article
on man overboard. It's a shame that he chose to include this.

>3/92 ARGONAUT - article about my being re-elected as Vice-President of
>the California Yacht Brokers Association
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/argonaut_0392.jpg

This tiny article, which is too blurry to read again, makes me wonder why it's
included here. Did Ermshar write this article? Or is this more "patting
himself on the back"?

>10/92 CALIFORNIA YACHT CLUB - letter re a slide show I gave there
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/californiayachtclub_1092.jpg

Rick Ermshar Yacht Sales?
Brings back to the frontlight why Ermshar would "voluntarily" give up his
broker's license - especially if it was a means of livelihood.

More articles that I just don't understand their inclusion in this "evidence".
These are letters and have nothing to do with publication and take away from
the viability of Ermshar.

>4/96 SAILING WORLD - copy of letter re an assignment for me to cover the
>Pacific Cup (same as article I posted in SCH)
>http://aloha.net/~westfal/sailingworld_0496.jpg

Now, this is truly interesting. Here's a letter from one of my favorite
sailing mags asking Ermshar to do a story covering the 1996 Pacific Cup. Who
cares? I don't. Where's the published article?

So, now that the articles are out and have been posted for the interested to
see, what kind of conclusions can be drawn?

These articles show that Ermshar has had articles and photographs written by
himself published in a variety of publications, ranging from the small and
regional to the national level publications.

However, there is nothing here to support Ermshar's assurances that he was
editor-in-chief or Associate Editor of any publication.

Also, most detracting from this "evidence" is the judicious use of letters and
such that have no bearing whatsoever on the matters at hand. The letters from
California YC, Windjammer YC, Women's SA, Marina Foundation and Sailing World
bring Ermshar suspect. These are not publications and cannot in any way be
construed as publications or evidence of being published. The inclusion of
these letters leads one to believe that the judicious claims made by Ermshar
are indeed false.

It makes one wonder why he would include them at all.

Interesting.

After reading Yoda's comments, I downloaded the file "sea_0885.jpg" to review
the image more closely. I attempted to use Adobe Photoshop 5.0 to review the
picture. It would not open the picture due to an "unkown error in jpeg file".

How about e-mailing me a copy of this image for further investigation?

A Yahoo search turned up a number of articles and covers of Sea
Magazine and the URL: http://www.seamag.com/ - which automatically
redirects to the URL:
http://www.goboatingamerica.com/home.html - they say of themselves:
No one covers Western boating like Sea Magazine. Whether you
want to find out about the best cruising
destinations, the hottest
trends in offshore sportfishing or the latest
boats and gear, Sea
Magazine has the answers you're looking for.

They accept freelance contributions and in their writers' guidelines
say:

Sea Magazine Freelance Writer's [sic]
Guidelines

ABOUT SEA:

Sea is four-color, monthly publication for active
West Coast boat
owners. It was founded in 1908, and is published
by the Duncan
McIntosh Co. Circulation is approximately 50,000.


Sea is read by power boaters and sportfishing
enthusiasts from
Alaska to Mexico, and across the Pacific to
Hawaii. Sea contains
articles on Western cruising and fishing
destinations, new boats
and marine electronics, safety, navigation,
seamanship,
maintenance how-tos, consumer guides to boating
services,
marine news and product buyer's guides.

Their Editorial focus is:

Feature articles generally are between 1,000 and 1,200 words.
Other articles range between 250 and 750 words.
First-time
contributors are encouraged to pitch articles on:


West Coast cruising destinations --
especially those in Baja
California, Southern California, Puget Sound
and British
Columbia.
Boating news from your Western home port.
Western boating trends and issues.
Seamanship (power boating only).
Boat maintenance and repair.

Another good avenue for free-lancers is Sea's
West Coast Focus
section. It is comprised of brief news stories or
isolated bits of
information about Western boating and
sportfishing. Focus stories
are about 250 words each, and stand the best
chance of running
if they are accompanied by a color slide.

Focus story topics include: new marinas and
boating projects;
new fishing regulations; boat parades, festivals
or owner
rendezvous; and boating legislation updates.
Preview stories are
preferred over post-event reports, so readers who
wish to
participate may do so.

Submit written queries to: Sea Magazine, Editorial Department,
17782 Cowan, Suite C, Irvine, CA 92614.

They have archived issues back to July of 1998. They do not list a
contact e-mail address on their website. The magazine appears to be an
8 1/2 x 11 slick 4 color publication. KM

By changing my display area settings to 640 x 480 and digitally
enhancing one of the articles - it is very easy to see that the new
"author" of the article was pasted on top of the real author's name.
In fact, a couple of the letters from the real author's name show
through. This is plainly a sloppy forgery and I have sent an e-mail to
a microfilm library that hopefully will get back with me to advise the
name of the true author. You cain't fule me Slybyrd, I bene ta

Yoda's eyes need checking. And if you folks have a complaint, take it up with
the Art Director of the magazine.
The name is in italics, which is the style they use throught the magazine and
which is why it appears to "float". And the "difference in coloration" is a
shaded box they put around the author's names, as Sharon can easily confirm
from looking at the original... or as you detectives can also see by getting an
original issue.
And why would I attempt to fake *one* article when there were soooo many
others?
Wanna try again?
Sheesh.

It's from a yellow highlighter. Rick highlighted his name and the

Where are you from, AC? Siberia?
SEA magazine is one of the oldest boating magazines in the world, along with
YACHTING. Both were started somewhere back around the turn of the century.
SEA was originally called SEA & PACIFIC SKIPPER. It covers the entire West
Coast of the U.S., and Hawaii. When I was working for them, the paid
circulation was well over 100,000, and the newsstand sales pushed that number
far higher.
Why don't you ask all your hot-shot "contacts" about SEA?
And I'm curious to see what Hugh Dickson has to say about SEA.

As I told Sharon and as I wrote here before, what I sent Sharon was stuff that

storage.
Sue me.
The galley proof is the copy I got for final proofreading before the issue went
to press.
I don't recall if there's a date on that galley proof, but it would easy for
you detectives to call the magazine and get the issue.

>> This tiny article, which is too blurry to read again, makes me wonder why

It's from a newspaper, and no, I didn't write it, nor did I ever say that I
wrote it.

Because a California license does no good in Hawaii.
Duh.

The late Hui Lupo has always sworn that I was involved in boating at all, in
any way shape or form. Sharon questioned the same thing. Hence, the letters
were included to disprove more of Hui Lupo's claims and to show a *variety* of
involvement.

>> These articles show that Ermshar has had articles and photographs written

regional to the national level publications. <<

Doom on Hui Lupo.

>> However, there is nothing here to support Ermshar's assurances that he was

Hold on to yer britches. I already said I'd send that info to Sharon to

Too busy flaming to remember that?

AC, all you've done is prove that you flamers will *never* be satisfied and

Oh sure, because there are letters that are <gasp!> complimentary, you then

Proof again why Hui Lupo is dead.

Sea has a circulation of 50,000 INCLUDING newstand sales - not exactly
a major publication, even for Los Angeles County! (I know it's
published in Orange County since 1908). But what does all this have to
do with being an editor-in-chief, chief? KM

think that's best left to you who have so very much more experience as

I agree. I have been in Graphic Design since 1973 and it really doesn't
take a
trained eye to spot the bungled job on this one. All Ermshar has
demonstrated is
that he is a loser, a pathetic loser.

Yoda's eyes need checking. And if you folks have a complaint, take it up

The name is in italics, which is the style they use throught the
magazine and
which is why it appears to "float". And the "difference in coloration"
is a
shaded box they put around the author's names, as Sharon can easily
confirm
from looking at the original... or as you detectives can also see by
getting an
original issue.

And why would I attempt to fake *one* article when there were soooo many
others?
Wanna try again?
Sheesh.

So Ermsquat says that it is a "shaded box they put around the aughor's
name".
Well, I'll be damned. I presume that "they" is the art department and
that it
was approved by the Art Director.

Now comes the good part written by Sharon:

It's from a yellow highlighter. Rick highlighted his name and the
magazine names on the photocopies. I scanned them in greyscale, except
for the Santana Mangazine, since that one wasn't a photocopy. I can
rescan some in color so you can see the highlight if you like. I was
trying to keep the size of the jpgs down.

I just yellow highlighted a magazine page, a newspaper page, and a
20 lb bond typwritten page.
I scanned them in greyscale and in all three cases the yellow
highlighted
parts came out lighter than the rest of the page.

I can't wait for Ermshars justification concerning his lie about them
putting a shaded box around the authors name. Caught with your pants
down

Uh, Sharon, RErmshar apprciates your ATTEMPT to help. Now, after doing
all that work - only to have it denigrated into an "ATTEMPT" - do you
really feel like the unappreciated lackey of an ever ungrateful master?
I'm sure you've really endeared your already ever-popular personage in
the hearts of the many here by attempting to shield and come to the aid
of this fine summa cum laude schooner scholar. I know, I know, you're
not taking sides, you're just working like a scullery slave at the
Master's beck and call while he tries to "clear his name". It's all in
the name of justice with a client Perry Mason wouldn't have touched
with a barge pole. When you're finished are you going to tackle all
the other outlandish claims of our answer to Baron Von Munchausen and
Frederick Demarara rolled into one? I realize people have suggested
you're more welcome in soc.censored.hawaii than here - but I truly
think you'd be more at home on the AOL trapping boards. You'd have a
much more appreciative audience and several incarnations of a big dog
to drum up new screen names to praise you for your ATTEMPTS to help.
Remember Joan of Arc? She sprung to the aid of her countrymen & church
and rallied the French troops & the French church and France won the
100 years war! (I know this one seems a little longer.) And how did
France & the clergy reward helpful Joanie? They burned her at the
stake, poor dear. Martyrdom has gone terribly out of fashion. I think
Sharon of Arc is fighting a similar cause. Ya think? KM

Very nice. However, I didn't exist at the turn of the century. But, it does

Orange County since 1908. Not quite the "turn of the century" that you assured

With a circulation of "well over 100,000" you would think that I would be able
to find one or two copies in Annapolis.

Then again, Martin has reviewed the material at the magazine's website and has
reported that "Sea has a circulation of 50,000 INCLUDING newstand sales..."

Perhaps it's just me (being from Siberia), but 50,000 sounds way less than "way
over 100,000".

I could. Considering that some of them are from the West Coast, perhaps they
read Sea as well.

If I recall, Hugh has already stated that Sea is a West Coast publication.

Hard proof? Do tell me what "hard proof" you have provided. Don't bother
with claiming that you provided these scans, because we all have seen that it
was through the efforts of Ms. Westfall (not yours) that these materials have
come to surface.

If I was interested in "attacking" you, I would have done so in a much
different manner than I have approached the subject here. Please review my
discourse with Sehanda and Martin in previous threads for a better sense of
this.

What you have relied upon is others to provide proof for you. Sharon Westfall
is your most recent courtier.

The letters could have been disparaging you for stealing the pfd off a child
overboard. I couldn't care less of their content. What does come into scrutiny
is your choice to include that material as support for your publication
experience. It is immaterial.

What is truly noteworthy is that you prefer not to have your material
scrutinized and want everyone to simply believe that you are the popular and
likeable person that you shout you are. That time has passed.

You are adept at alienating any person that may be open to your argument by
your mannerisms and attitude. That is truly a shame.

With your claimed 35 years experience in Hawaii, you have learned nothing about
being ha'aha'a.

And because it does no good, everybody else who leaves the state just forgets about
the license and leaves.

Nurses, Real Estate Agents, Teachers, Doctors....NOBODY is required to TURN IN a
license..... unless they have been accused and determined to be GUILTY of some
wrongdoing involving that license, in which case the license is either revoked OR
the criminal surrenders it TO AVOID PROSECUTION.

Ringing any bells now????

HAH? You can't even edit yourself when you get this worked up.

You don't have enough published articles to paper a bird cage so you threw in some
other bull to make yourself look like a big shot. And there is STILL no evidence
that you "edited" anything except your own fraudulent resume.

And no evidence that that 1996 Kenwood article ever ran ANYWHERE. Like you ran
THAT one off to "storage"? SO believable. If you were published.....photos and
all......you'd have them blown up and framed for your "wife" to admire.

And all this smoke STILL doesn't create a big enough screen to obfuscate your
having been NAILED by Sherry.

Your story is one pack of lies after another peppered with large doses of
self-congratulation for deeds others perform DAILY and think it's just so normal
it's not even worth mentioning.

> Oh sure, because there are letters that are <gasp!> complimentary, you then
> feel that everything *else* is false.

No, the logic is that anyone who feels SUCH a great need to beat his own drum must
be trying to drown out something else.

And I'd still like to know how much you charged for that "gift" boat.

........Sigh.......worse than a 50-year-old former high school football player
still reliving The Big Game....to be 47 years old and still wallowing in the glory
of a few magazine articles he wrote at 30. Pathetic. And worse.....calling
attention to 15-year-old thank you notes! Ayeeeeeeee! But then you'd expect that
from one who feels compelled to report...TWICE...that he bought a couple of $3
leis.

Jaheez, Ermshar......I was published at 16 in a newspaper of considerably larger
circulation that "SEA." But I haven't used that as a credential since I was 19.

Best proof he wrote this one.......it's a 2-page Ode to pRick! Written and

And he didn't forget to toss in the gratuitous back pat, either...... "I use

No other references from his glory days as a DJ/News Director at KROQ?? No

If pressed, I could go find a slightly mildewed copy of a piece I wrote in
1965 that made some embarrasingly silly comparison of high school to the
"Batman" TV show. It was "picked up" by the Oakland Tribune. I didn't
save the letter asking permission to run it.

I DO have a couple of my pay stubs from the Daily Review, which paid me the
amazing sum of 15-cents a column inch between 1994 and 1996 for a bi-weekly
column during my Junior and Senior years.

My "archives" are a 9 x 12 x 4 Tupperware box in the garage.

Also contained therein is a piece of black licorice with Al Jardine's tooth
prints. Eat your heart out! <g>

Y'know, even at "Uncle's Nest" up in Wilhelmina Rise, little teeny place,
he had a WALL of file cabinets. He made quite a deal out of how LITTLE he
had to move, having been accustomed to living on a boat.

We know he's too damned cheap to be renting storage space, so that whole BS
about THE most credible and THE most recent credits being "buried in
storage" are as laughable as they are predictable.

students who encouraged me, among other things, to "stay as sweat as you
are." Lord knows, I try to live up to that.

Furthermore, I was an Associate Editor of a MAJOR high school magazine
(okay, it was on newsprint and looked like a tabloid, but......) and even
had my OWN MONTHLY COLUMN!!!! HA!

"Grin And Barrett!"

And if you don't believe THAT, a quick run through my old tax files will
yield *IRREFUTABLE PROOF* that I am a FABULOUS editor and wonderful human
being. I will start by faxing you copies of receipts for every load I
ever hauled over to Goodwill and Salvation Army. Why, some of those loads
were SO BIG they sent a TRUCK over to MY HOUSE! (And I'm not talking used
underwear like SOME presidents we know. <Eeyeeew>)

Why, if you give me a day or two, I will produce, ON COMPANY STATIONERY, an
unsigned, unsolicited, hand dated, typewritten letter from Bernice Pauahi
Bishop saying what a swell person I am, asking where I get my hair cut, and
declaring that I was the best docent her Museum ever hired.

There you have it! All the *PROOF* you need, signed, sealed and delivered.

I rest my case!

Well, Judy, I won first prize in an American Legion Writing contest
when I was in the 8th grade and got $35.00 and a plaque. It was
printed in the school newspaper and I think both people who saw it read
some of it. So that makes me a paid writer. I didn't tell my mom,
because I was afraid she'd have some "practical" ideas about the $35.
I told dad, though. He wasn't very practical. I'm sure I spent it
wisely. Anyway, doesn't that qualify me as a major writer? After all,
it WAS 1ST prize and the smartest kid in the school came in second.
And since I was responsible for the ENTIRE <gasp> editorial comment, I
should be able to call myself the Editor-in-Chief of that major
publication, shouldn't I? Sorry, gotta go - I have to redo my resume,
I've been overlooking some major credentials here. I'm sure I've met
SOME major celebrities... Ronald MacDonald? Smokey Bear? Crusty the
Clown? I didn't work at KROQ, but my brother said I had a perfect face
for radio. Somebody important must have called me a "babe". Boy, have
I been missing out on promoting myself properly. If I could just start
over knowing what I know now. By the way, I'm not going to believe
that Al Jardine stuff until I see the headers. KM

I dunno, Keoni, you've only been in Graphic design for 26 years and I
figure our man from the AOL spyder`ohana has been lying a whole lot
longer than that. So, when it comes to experience, he should have you
beat - but he got caught anyway. Guess that's the difference between
true experience and time-in-grade. Then again, if you go look at
picture Yoda provided us, it's pretty easy to understand the document

Ermshar tries to weasel out of a sticky situation 20 minutes after telling
Sharon he was out the door and wouldn't post until much later:


>As I told Sharon and as I wrote here before, what I sent Sharon was stuff

But it has been nearly a year since Ermsquat said he would send proof...
Certainly enough time to go to a storage locker... Why would he keep junk
around that proves nothing and not keep proof of his being an editor???

>Because a California license does no good in Hawaii.

Yacht Broker's licenses do not have to be "voluntarily given up" when one
moves. They just expire or become inactive... Usually when one "gives up"
a license is to avoid having the license revoked...

I would like Ermshar to provide even ONE SINGLE post where ANY Hui Lupo
member made this claim that he never had anything to do with boating. Es-
pecially since it has been noted for years that he had a yacht brokers
license that had to be returned... Hui Lupo's position has always been
that he was NOT an Editor in Chief of any MAJOR sailing magazine... I
always figured he wrote for some newsletter or other....

>Sharon questioned the same thing. Hence, the
>letters were included to disprove more of Hui Lupo's claims and to show a
>*variety* of involvement.

I think Ermshar should provide PROOF that Sharon questioned the same
thing... It is my belief that the letters were included to influence
people to think that he's a great guy getting thanks from some
organizations...

>>> However, there is nothing here to support Ermshar's assurances that he was

>Hold on to yer britches. I already said I'd send that info to Sharon to

>Too busy flaming to remember that?

Probably too tired of waiting... Hui Lupo has been asking for that proof
for nearly TWO YEARS....


>>> The letters from California YC, Windjammer YC, Women's SA, Marina

>AC, all you've done is prove that you flamers will *never* be satisfied

AC has merely pointed out a fact. Letters from yacht clubs are not proof
that someone is an editor in chief...

>Oh sure, because there are letters that are <gasp!> complimentary, you

I randomly checked out a couple of the 'official' articles...First
thought that came to mind was that the thread was mispelled and it was
suppose to read "Rick's Boat Article ScaMs" ...

second thought? the only thing they articles proved was that he should
have spend less time in the newsgroups and more time learning
Photoshop.(or Corel or whatever graphics program he tried).

Next time ask for help....I could have made it look soooo much cleaner.

I'm sorry... I must interject something here in trying to be fair and
unbiased to all sides...I know for a fact that he did edit something.
TRUE, it was NOT a big time magazine (national or otherwise) but it was
important to me. Back in 1997, he convinced me that he had once been an
editor for a national magazine...he had offered to go over the "thank
you's" for the LIVE AND KICKIN' CD of BB Shawn's. Doing the whole
project by myself I was grateful for another pair of eyes. He only
made one correction ... and this, of course, is how we ended up spelling
Chillingworth; ChillingSworth! Something that took a LOT of apologies to
that wonderful family to make amends. Thank goodness his relatives are
wonderful people and are great supporters of Shawn and his music.

Smokescreen. Or was that you with the yellow highlighter? Which personality

Bullcrap. I know italics. I do desktop publishing, word processing, on a
daily basis. Italics slant letters to the right. Sloppy cutting and pasting
causes them to float. You need to pay more attention to detail, Squirmy, or
you'll get busted every time.

Don't WANT the original issue. We have your forgery right here...in our
collective Hui Lupo face. The evidence that YOU provided.

That shaded area has an irregular outline(freehand, perhaps) that spills over
past the third columnal margin -- the same columnal margin that would prevent
a text box's contents from spilling over into that area. Also, why insert a
graphical signature at all when there is nothing fancy there -- just plain
italicized text? Bullcrap, Squirmy. You altered it.

Sharon said the difference in coloration was caused by a yellow highlighter.
Certain types of yellow highlighters cause ink to run...which could result in
having an effect similar to using the "Smudge" tool in PhotoShop to blur over
any edges. You didn't do that with that highlighter, did you? 8^O

>And why would I attempt to fake *one* article when there were soooo many

Because it's so consistent with your modus operandi.

Why do you keep posting shameless self-aggrandizements in your AOL cesspool?
Because, although there are quite a few pesky Hui Lupo piranha nipping at your
pilau toejams, there are "soooo many others" who WANT to believe your Mr.
Roarke persona.

One forgery is enough for me. The rest of your evidence is as tainted as you

Glad you mentioned that - the article in question definately didn't
have his name listed in Italics! It was a very slim, clean san serif
type like helvitica. I though maybe I was looking at the wrong article
- whose scanning was as blurry as it's logic. I had to
blow it up to read it. And if Squirmy didn't highlight it - and Sharon
is saying it is highlighted - then she's lying to protect him! And if
she isn't lying, hopefully she has learned the lesson from that big

The galleys do nothing to confirm these articles ran. As a

proofreading purposes and could easily have never run.
I have contacts in Catalina and will call to find out about those
publications at my earliest convenience. Perhaps some of us should
call or email a publication or two for confirmation. I remember Alex

You don't get proof unless you use enough exclamation points. You were

exclamation points?) Nothing else is considered. Besides, you're

AC, I've rescanned sea_0885, in color and saved it as a 256 color .gif.
It's also bigger in pixels (845x1095) and bigger in size (318kb). (The
256 color greyscale .jpg is 600x778 pixels and 114kb.) If I reduce the
size of the .gif, the picture degrades badly. (A 16 million color
845x1095 pixel .jpg was 1,068kb!!!)

Here's the new one:

This is still the old one:

I don't have enough personal space to do both for all of them. I think
the .jpgs alone took about 3MB, so adding the .gifs would probably
require 12MB.

Wrong!!! What Sharon confirmed was the use of a yellow highlighter with
no mention of a "shaded box".

Try to get out of this one big hog!

I hear he has a yellow tinge around a lot of his stuff, but with dogs
of that breed, claims of a highlighter would be a piss-poor excuse. KM

Hogs . . . dang it!

Thanks for the reminder. Galley proofs frequently end up on the floor
of the press room, never to see the light of day. Sort of like those
cancelled posts I've been hearing about. *ahem* KM

OH! I didn't realize he claimed to be Editor-in-Chief of "Sea". I
posted a note on their corporate bulletin board yesterday, asking for
verification of the author of the night cruising article he claimed to
have written. Had I known that, I'd have also asked what years he was
editor-in-chief. I was editor of a Big Chief tablet once. Does that
count for anything or was that before your time? KM

That's right, that's right - it should be obvious with someone as
pig-headed as that. KM

I'm no desktop publishing pro, but my first thought was that Rick had whited
out the true author and tried to insert his name and then covered the white
out with a yellow marker. Then when he tried to say it was a "shaded box",
I thought, he not even a good liar! He should quit!
