Results below early warning level Results below early warning level Results above early warning level Results below early warning level

NOTICE: The bacteria level for Beach 1 has exceeded the Beach Action Level. The Board has authorized the posting of the appropriate sign. Please use caution. Review LMC articles relative to this issue if you have any questions.

Current Conditions for Week of 8/7/2017: The current results for the testing program for the lake are summarized above. A green cell indicates that results are below the USEPA or OhioEPA criteria for recreational water. A yellow cell indicates that values have exceeded the limit and appropriate caution is advised. Your Lake Management Committee’s (LMC) water testing program for harmful algal blooms (Microcystin) monitors our two beach areas monthly during the hot, summer months. In addition, the LMC is also having tests performed for the presence of E.coli bacteria weekly at the two beaches as is done in most public beaches. Should any of these test results approach the level of caution, the Board of Directors can request that caution signs be posted at the affected beaches for your safety. Of course, common sense tells us not to swim in any waters that contain unusual amounts of algae. Please enjoy our beautiful lake and have a safe summer.

Note: Archived data for current and past years available on RRA website under LMC Tab.

Beach 1 Pavilions Get a Facelift

The pavilions and the covered bridge at Beach 1 are currently in the process of receiving new roofs. The old shingles are being replaced with metal roofing which should hold up for years to come! So far, the rental pavilion and the covered bridge have been completed. This week, work will continue on the rest of the pavilions in the Beach 1 area.

Couples Fishing Tournament

The Fishing Club’s next tournament will be the Ed Baitt Mixed Couples Tournament on Saturday, August 12th. Start time will be 9am at the Marina. Weigh in will be at 12pm at the Marina.

There will be a $20 sign-up fee per boat. All of the entry money will be going to the winners, plus $100 donated by the Club.

This is a pan fish only event – Bluegill, Crappie, Perch, and Rockbass. Any size of fish will do. The fish will be donated to the club for our next fish fry.

Each boat must have a Fishing Club Member on the boat to enter.

August STARS News

Time flies when we are having fun, but where has the summer gone?

The S.T.A.R.S. Club has experienced several successful months so far, July will be one to remember.

The Jason Scribben Memorial 3 on 3 Volleyball Tournament was held again, and had a somewhat predicable conclusion with the Ruebel family once again victorious, and we look forward to continuing the tradition again next year.

We had a first at Roaming Shores with the Stellar Copters rides, and more than 130 riders got a high-level look at Lake Roaming Rock, and the rooves of their individual homes.

The STARS Club is planning to repeat this adventure in October, and let everyone have an opportunity to see the colorful fall foliage, before the leaves turn brown and fall, and we have to rake them.

Following the helicopter rides, we observed a “Spectacular Fireworks Display” that seemed to set the skies over Lake Roaming Rock on fire. We hope everyone enjoyed the show, and will send in additional contributions that will allow us to fund a similar event next year.

Swimmers utilizing Beach One are really enjoying the use of the huge new float, which was donated by the retiring Promotion Club, has brought joy and excitement to the swimmers, and will continue to provide great entertainment for many years to come.

August plans are being made for a Wine Tasting Social and a Casino Night at the Clubhouse. The Casino Night is being planned in cooperation with the Shores Hold’em Club.

STARS appreciates your interest and generous donations which are important to the Club’s ability to function now and into the future.

Jack McMillin
President, STARS Club

4th of July Weekend Recap

Independence Day Weekend is always a busy time here in the Shores. Despite the 50th last year being the biggest ever, this year was no exception.

The Festivities began on Saturday, July 1st with helicopter rides over the lake provided by Stellar Copters. Captain John Marstellar provided some of the best views of the lake throughout the day to many brave passengers, young and old. Here’s some video in case you would either like to relive the moment, or didn’t have the opportunity.

Also on Saturday was the Annual Jason Scribben Memorial Volleyball Tournament. The game is played in the memory of Jason P. Scribben, a senior at Grand Valley High School and died in a boating accident on Lake Roaming Rock on July 4th, 1998. The winners this year (once again) were the Ruebel family.

The day capped off with a bang… literally… with the Annual Roaming Shores Fireworks Display. I know we say this every year, but this show was truly one of the best ever! Thank you to everyone who contributed towards making the fireworks show a reality that keeps getting better year after year!

The following morning was the 2nd Annual ‘Givin’ it a Tri in the Shores’, a fun Mini Triathlon where participants completed a 160yd swim in the lake, a 5.75mi bike ride, and a 2 mile run.
