# Charlotte Boyle (swimmer)

Charlotte Duggan Boyle (August 20, 1899 – October 3, 1990), also known by her married name Charlotte Clune, was an American competition swimmer who competed at the 1920 Antwerp Olympics in the 100 meter freestyle, as part of the first Olympics in which women were allowed to compete in swimming events. She held a world record in the 200-meter freestyle in 1921.

## Women's Swimming Association

Boyle swam for the Women's Swimming Association of New York, managed and founded by Charlotte Epstein in 1917, and was coached by Hall of Fame Coach Louis Handley. Epstein was instrumental in helping women swimmers compete in the Olympic games for the first time in Antwerp in 1920 and enroll as members of the American Athletic Union for the first time in 1914. Epstein also pushed for women to be allowed to compete at longer distances, and Boyle would later win a title in national competition in the 5-mile swim. Boyle was considered one of the first great freestyle swimmers to emerge from the WSA swimming program, which would eventually dominate many women's swimming events. Several of her 1920 Olympic teammates swam and trained with her at the WSA, including diving gold medalist Aileen Riggin and diving silver medalist Helen Wainwright.

## 1920 Olympics

Boyle represented the United States at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium, where she competed in the women's 100-meter freestyle, swimming a 1:20.4 in the semi-finals, which did not advance her to the final meet. Her fellow swimmer at the Women's Swimming Association, Ethelda Bleibtrey, won the 100 freestyle event that year in 1:13.6, a world record at the time. She was a former world record-holder in the 200-meter freestyle and the old 220-yard freestyle events. She also set U.S. records in the now-forgotten plunge for distance event.
She won national titles in distances from 50 yards to the five mile long distance event. Boyle captured American Athletic Union titles in the 100-yard freestyle in 1918, and the 50 yard freestyle, and took titles in the 100-yard free in 1919 and 1921.
After her swimming career, Boyle had a long marriage with Henry Clune, a highly recognized columnist with the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. She later had a successful career as a coach, teaching thousands to swim. She died on October 3, 1990, in Scottsdale, New York, where she had been a resident for many years. She and Clune had four sons.

## Honors

Boyle was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame as an "Honor Pioneer Swimmer" in 1988.

# Ismay Andrews

Ismay Andrews was one of the earliest major teachers of African dance in the United States. Her career started in 1929 as a stage actress, and she taught dance in community centers in New York City from 1934 to 1959.

## Stage actor

Andrews began her career in as an actor in stage plays in New York City. These included a musical comedy, Great Day, at the Cosmopolitan Theatre in 1929, Ol' Man Satan in 1932, and the operetta Africana in 1934. She also appeared in a 1932 film, The Black King.

## Dance

In the early 1930s, Andrews studied dance under Asadata Dafora. People in the United States in this era largely regarded Africans as savage and animalistic, and Dafora was part of bringing an awareness of their humanity and an appreciation for their culture. The new interest in African music and dance offered a new positive black identity rooted in ancient, pre-colonial traditions. This movement in art and culture was connected to the Harlem Renaissance and the Négritude movement.
Andrews taught in New York community centers from 1934 to 1959. She began teaching African dance at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem in 1934. This makes her one of the earliest major teachers of African dance in the United States, along with Efiom Odok and Dafora. She also taught at Mother African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, which was one of the primary centers of African American culture in New York City at the time.
Her students included Chief Bey, Pearl Primus, Coleridge-Taylor Perkinson,, Alice Dinizulu, Alexandreena Dixon, Eartha Kitt, Eleo Pomare, Bea Richards (later a prominent actress), and Brunilda Ruiz.
Ismay Andrews never traveled to Africa, but learned African traditions through researching in public libraries.

### 1940s

In the 1940s, Andrews focused on the dances of East Africa. She founded and directed a dance company known as the Swa-Hili Dancers who performed re-constructed East African dances. They performed on stage at the Stage Door Canteen, in cabarets, and for the USO during World War II.
The African American community in Harlem strongly supported Andrews cultural work throughout her career.

## Recognition

In May 1971, in a formal ceremony, the Modern Organization for Dance Evolvement (MODE), founded by Carole Johnson and others in New York, awarded Andrews their inaugural dance award for "a person who contributed lo the black experience in dance".

## Death

She died in poverty in New York City.

# Watchman Island

Watchman Island (Te Kākāwhakaara in Māori, officially Watchman Island / Te Kākāwhakaara) is a tiny sandstone island in the Waitematā Harbour of Auckland, New Zealand. It lies approximately 600 metres north of the Herne Bay suburb.

## History

The island is known to Tāmaki Māori iwi as Matungaegae, and was the site of an island pā during the Waiohua confederation (17th and early 18th centuries). Prior to European settlement in the 1840s, the island was much larger in size.
In the mid-19th century, the island was known as Sentinel Rock, which appears under this name on an 1857 British Admiralty chart of the Waitemata Harbour.
The island is visible from the Auckland Harbour Bridge, which caused it to briefly make headlines when Adidas in 2005 erected a metal crouching figure (shown doing a haka) as part of a campaign to promote the All Blacks during the Lions' rugby tour. While Adidas noted that it had consulted on the erection of the statue, it was eventually toppled from the top of the island by a saboteur claiming that it was culturally insensitive. The island is customary Māori property.
The island has special (or more precisely, undefined) legal status, as neither Auckland City Council, Auckland Regional Council or Ports of Auckland claimed responsibility, though some local iwi are considered to have customary rights over it. Auckland Regional Council chairman Mike Lee once noted in a thesis that:
    "Watchman Island and many other islets in the Hauraki Gulf "are not formally owned in a property title sense. For nearly 150 years they have existed in a legal limbo as 'uninvestigated', which normally presupposes Māori customary land."
