Immediate Past President Lou Campanile, Jr. (954) 980-8888 lou@campanile.net

I hope everyone had a very happy Thanksgiving with family and friends and had some time to relax, enjoy some turkey and step away from work for a little bit. The fall weather and holiday season is in full swing, and it sure is my favorite time of year! Not only because of the cooler weather, hunting season and holidays, but because we can reflect on the good and bad times of 2018 and prepare for better times ahead in 2019. This, my final President’s message, is one of appreciation, encouragement and vision. First, I’d like to thank everyone who encouraged and supported me over the years in FSMS, but most especially during my year and a half serving as your President. I thank all the Past Presidents who served before me and unselfishly gave back to the profession they love, inspiring me to do the same. I am humbly honored to have been given the privilege to serve you, the members of this Society, and to give back and support my lifelong profession. It is not what you accumulate in life, or your job, or your wealth that you will be remembered for. Instead, you will be remembered for what you gave and how you served your fellow man and your creator. I am truly blessed for being able to meet and work with so many of you around the state, and I hope that I served you well. Secondly, I encourage everyone to take the time to serve and support FSMS and the surveying profession. The satisfaction, pride and gratitude you will have from giving back to your Society and supporting your profession is life changing and priceless. Believe it or not, it will strengthen your family, build your business, give you confidence in your job, and pride in yourself. I encourage you to renew your membership and to ask others to join us in supporting FSMS. Dues are a small price to pay to protect and strengthen our profession on both a state and national level. In addition, you can support and encourage future surveyors, mappers, and technicians entering the profession through scholarships and CST programs. You also help maintain a network of like-minded professionals that provide the best services and products for our communities and the public. And lastly, my vision for the future is BRIGHT! In order to have vision you must have hope, with hope comes faith, and to have strong faith you must believe. Believe in yourself and those around you that share in that vision. This past year we regrouped and reorganized FSMS to better serve the members and the profession. My vision for the future is to be more diverse and to include others within the profession who have felt left out, including everyone in parallel Geospatial disciplines. I envision FSMS operating even more efficiently, using up less time from our dedicated volunteers to accomplish even more. We will use technology to streamline our support system for our members, have real-time accountability and reports, and to host remote conferences and meetings. We can minimize the length of Board meetings and have more effective committees and chapters through the utilization of conference calls and teleconferences. We can outsource and utilize paid professionals to provide more meaningful and interesting live seminars and associate technical training. Our vision for bettering local chapters relies on strengthening the network of professionals working in your communities through social networking and chapter meetings that include meaningful educational opportunities. The strength of FSMS is all of you, and the purpose, pride and effort that you are willing to give in support of your profession. I wish everyone a joyful and blessed holiday month of December in however you give praise to your creator, great Architect of the universe, Surveyor of all things, and God of many names. Merry Christmas to my Christian brothers and sisters, and I wish everyone a happy, safe and prosperous New Year! “Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.” ―B.C. Forbes

Thank You, Bob!

After 17 months as our President, Bob Strayer will be leaving office in January. He is the longest-serving FSMS President since our founding in 1955. Thank you for your dedication and service Bob!

Bob was sworn in as FSMS President on Friday, July 21st, 2017.


Richard Allen, PSM, CFM Another month has passed us by and now we find ourselves in the month of December! Where does the time go? I ask that question rhetorically, as I know where the time goes. We are busy doing our jobs, and sometimes dealing with many issues that are a pain in the neck! This month I am going to discuss an issue I am currently engaged with: that as-built surveys are not topographic surveys, and to engineers, an as-built survey is not a record drawing. It has certainly been an aggravating few months trying to explain the difference! The conflict has mostly come from engineers who love to argue that I, the “dumb surveyor”, am requesting a record drawing and that I have no clue what an asbuilt survey is. In response, I have been providing a presentation I gave to our Capital Improvements Division a few years ago on the difference between an as-built survey and a record drawing.

“The reason this is happening at the City of Orlando is because we have required an as-built survey at the completion of all private construction projects, but these surveys were not reviewed by the survey division.” these surveys were not reviewed by the survey division. Instead, the surveys were reviewed by the engineering inspection manager, who did her best to review them, but is not a surveyor. Our requirements for an as-built survey have been in place for many years, and were updated two and a half years ago to clean up the language and combine everything survey-related to Chapter Five of the City of Orlando’s Engineering Standards Manual (ESM). If you would like to see the ESM and our newly created checklist, you can find them here. I had to put the checklist together because nobody was reading Chapter Five of the ESM. So

This is where I have the same conversation over and over again that causes my agitation. The reason this is happening at the City of Orlando is because we have required an as-built survey at the completion of all private construction projects, but

with the checklist, the surveyor is required to acknowledge that he or she has reviewed all of Chapter Five of the ESM. Now, I know that the reference to section 5.03 of the ESM is referencing the previous iteration of the Standards of Practice, but it is in the process of being updated to adopt the as-built survey definition as our own. This stuff takes time and the nuances required to make these changes are not expeditious! At the bottom of the second page is the certification and signature of the signing surveyor, confirming that he or she has read chapter five of the ESM. We will see what difference this makes in the coming months and hopefully I will have something positive to report back. And well, if not, it means a number of projects will be delayed! Until next month my friends‌ You can reach Richard at Richard.allen@cityoforlando.net or 407.246.2788

Affording a Surveying Education Knud E. Hermansen, PLS, PE, PhD, Esq.

I am a faculty member in the surveying program at the University of Maine and a parent of three college educated children. I am often asked, mostly by parents, what financial aid is available for their children. I will share the guidance I provide on the subject of how to afford a quality fouryear surveying education. Apply for Surveying Scholarships

Almost every state surveying society has scholarships available for aspiring surveyors. National professional societies such as the National Society of Professional Surveyors have scholarships available to students. Scholarship committee members often lament how few scholarship applications they receive. The fact is that a majority of surveying students do not apply for the numerous surveying scholarships that are available. In order to encourage students to apply for scholarships, I will often suggest to students that the hour or two that may be required to prepare a complete and quality application will often garner some of the best hourly pay the student will ever earn. To obtain a $2,000 scholarship for two hours of effort is equivalent to $1,000 per hour. My advice is usually ignored. (I suspect if the parents heard my

The Florida Surveyor

advice, more scholarship applications would be forthcoming from their children.) Accordingly, those students that do apply for a scholarship have an excellent chance to obtain a scholarship. The odds of receiving a scholarship are much better than any lottery. Apply For Work Related Scholarships Many employers offer scholarships to employees. In the past, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) provided educational funding for students that worked for the BLM as summer survey interns. Several private surveying firms often provide scholarships to summer interns upon their return to college after working for the firm during the summer so long as there is a commitment to work for the firm in the future. The most notable work related scholarships available to employees are National Guard and military reserve scholarships. Serving one weekend a month and two weeks a year will often provide a student with full tuition toward a four-year degree. Apply for General Scholarships Numerous colleges offer gen-

eral scholarships to students. Scholarships are often available to students that are in certain disciplines, the residents of certain towns, members of certain minority ethnic groups, or have achieved notable academic standards. Community College Students can save considerable tuition expense by attending a community college. Tuition is often considerably less at community colleges when compared to the tuition for similar courses at a four -year university. Students should be encouraged to take as many credits as possible at a community college. Mathematics, English, speech, physics, and many other general subject classes can be taken at a community college. These courses will usually transfer to a four-year surveying program. If there is some doubt, check on transfer credits at the four-year program before taking the course at a community college. Students that are intending to embark on a surveying career should consider getting an associate degree in surveying at a community college before transferring to a four year surveying degree program. In the alternative, the student can take almost all their

December 2018


general course work at a community college and take the engineering and surveying courses at a four-year college in order to complete a degree requirement leading to a bachelor of science degree in surveying. Advice to My Children While I have given this advice to many students and parents, parents are curious and have asked me what advice I gave to my own children. How did I handle financing my children’s education? My advice to my three children was simple and direct. They could go to any college they could afford. I see so many young students enroll in university programs that have very little future for employment (not so in surveying). Students enrolled in majors without future employment prospects will pile up debt with little hope for

The Florida Surveyor

paying off the student loans in a reasonable period, if at all. At least half of the students at the campus where I teach would have a much brighter economic future and more rewarding career had they gone to a technical school and learned a trade rather than attend a university where they majored in, for example, Medieval Literature. To further compound their future financial difficulty, many students attend expensive private colleges where the students enroll in majors with little prospect for future employment. My advice and opinions were communicated to my three children. My daughter and son became engineers. My youngest son is a nurse. All are gainfully employed without student loan debt. Two financed their education with Army scholarships. One financed her electrical engineering educa-

tion with a merit scholarship that covered all four years of her education. In closing, you might ask how I funded my own education. I used the G.I. Bill (Marine Corp veteran). I followed the advice I gave. I earned a two-year degree before transferring to a four-year program. My graduate degrees were funded by my employment as a teaching assistant. I will also give credit to my wife who also worked to support the family while I attended college. I hope this advice helps prospective students and parents. We need more surveying students. In 2016, surveying graduates had at least three employment offers each. Surveying is a great major and rewarding career. Encourage more students to enroll in a surveying program and give the prospective students and parents my advice.

Why do dogs like squeaky toys? Ever wondered why your little puppy can obsess over those cute little squeaky toys? Long before they were domesticated they were descendants of wolves and were wild animals. They used natural instincts that allowed them to survive. One of those instincts was hunting smaller animals. The sound a squeaky toy makes when squeezed is very similar to the sound a small animal makes when being hunted. When a dog hears that, they get excited because of those killer survival skills. But they do make quite the cute killer.

Ever

WONDER Michael Whitling, PSM Why is stuff blown to “smithereens?” Things get blown, bombed, blasted, bashed, dashed, smashed and shot to (or “into”) “smithereens.” This activity often implicates material items, such as bricks, cities, or the good crockery, but it can also occur in a more figurative sense: one’s hopes and dreams can be smashed to smithereens. The notion of things being 'shot/smashed/blown to smithereens' dates from at least the turn of the 19th century. Francis Plowden, in The History of Ireland, 1801, records a threat made against a Mr. Pounden by a group of Orangemen: "If you don't be off directly, by the ghost of William, our deliverer, and by the orange we wear, we will break your carriage in smithereens, and hough your cattle and burn your house." “Smithereens” developed from the Irish word smiodar, meaning "fragment." 'Een' is a commonplace diminutive ending, as in man + -een → maneen (“little man”). Similarly, smiodar + een lead us eventually to a more English sounding “smithereens.”

Why is it called a “Hail Mary” pass in football? The expression goes back at least to the 1930’s, in which it was widely used publicly by two former members of Notre Dame's Four Horsemen, Elmer Layden and Jim Crowley. Originally meaning any sort of desperation play, a “Hail Mary” gradually came to denote a long, low-probability pass, attempted at the end of a half when a team is too far from the end zone to execute a more conventional play, implying that it would take divine intervention for the play to succeed. For more than 40 years, use of the term was largely confined to Notre Dame and other Catholic universities. The term became widespread after a December 28, 1975 NFL playoff game between the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings, when Cowboys quarterback Roger Staubach (a Roman Catholic and fan of The Godfather Part II (1974), whose character Fredo had popularized the phrase) said about his gamewinning touchdown pass to wide receiver Drew Pearson, "I closed my eyes and said a Hail Mary."

Quick Facts:  If you took all the ants (about ten thousand trillion) and put them on one side of a giant scale, you’d have to put all the humans on earth (7.4 billion) on the other side to balance it out. Yes, the total weight of all the ants on earth equals the weight of all the people.

 Some owners of disobedient dogs may have trouble believing this, but dogs can learn to recognize a vocabulary of about 165 words.  If you listen very closely, hot water and cold water sound slightly different when being poured. The heat changes the thickness, or viscosity, of the water, which changes the pitch of the sound it makes when it’s poured.  Back in their day, dinosaurs lived on every continent on earth, including Antarctica. The reason we only find their bones in certain places, though, is that weather and soil conditions in those places were just right for the bones to be fossilized. Scientists also speculate that there may be many smaller-sized dinosaurs that we know nothing about because their bones were too small to fossilize well.

 What does space smell like? That’s usually not the first question people have in mind, but according to some former astronauts, space does have a distinct odor that hangs around when they come back in the ship after a spacewalk. They’ve described it as “hot metal” or “searing steak.”  The most popular musical instrument in North Korea is the accordion, so much so that all teachers used to be required to play to get their teaching certifications. Because the accordion is portable in a way that, say, a grand piano isn’t, it was thought of as the “people’s instrument” that could be taken outside and played for laborers in the fields.

 A little dash of nutmeg in a pumpkin pie or on your egg nog can give it some extra flavor and a lovely spicy scent. Too much nutmeg, however, can be toxic. Two to three teaspoons of raw nutmeg can induce hallucinations, convulsions, pain, nausea, and paranoia that can last for several days. Actual fatalities are rare, but they have happened.

 A pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, King Pepi II, who supposedly ruled for 90 years, thought so highly of himself that when he was bothered by insects, he would command that one of his slaves be covered in honey to lure the flies away from himself.

 As of 2013, twelve police stations in a rural area of China have begun to use geese as sentries. They are alert animals and, as you probably know, can create a lot of noise and commotion, and creative Chinese law enforcement officers are taking advantage of that fact.

 A healthy adult has enough iron in their body that, if it were pulled out and melted down, it could form a nail up to three inches long.

 Baby Blue Whales grow 200lbs per day in their first year of life.

 If you were a baby in the middle of the 1800s and you cried while teething, your parents might have given you Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. This “medicine” claimed that “it soothes the child, it softens the gums, and allays all pain.” It may have done plenty of soothing, but it was also extremely dangerous. This concoction, like many patent medicines of the time, contained morphine.

 Almost nothing is known about Sandy Island, a land mass about the size of Manhattan in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Australia. Supposedly, explorer James Cook discovered it in 1876, and it began appearing on nautical maps in 1908. It wasn’t until 2012, when a team of Australian scientists set out to survey the island, that they discovered there was no island there at all. The scientists guessed that Cook may have in fact spotted a “pumice raft” of floating volcanic stone and gas, but nonetheless, the Sydney Morning Herald published an obituary for Sandy Island.

 Officer Kevin Briggs, who battles depression himself, has personally talked more than 200 people down from committing suicide from the Golden Gate Bridge throughout his career. Send your thoughts to drmjw@aol.com The Florida Surveyor
