Fishing Club News – October

Our last meeting of 2015 was held on October 5, 2015. After years of running the Club, Ed Baitt has stepped down as President. Thanks, Ed, for a great job!

The Officers for 2016 are:
Dave Emick: President
Mike Chevalier: Vice President
Dave Flaum: Secretary
Walt Samson: Treasurer
Jack McMillin: Membership
John McMillin: Photographer

One event that we will be putting on is an opposite sex couples tournament. Husband/Wife, Boyfriend/Girlfriend, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, etc.

The Club is in the process of cleaning up Goose Island. Hopefully by next season, it should be a great place for boaters to stop off to stretch their legs, fish, or picnic. Anyone who would like to help, call Dave Emick at 440-563-3349.

The Big Fish for September was caught by Mike Chevalier. A largemouth bass, 19 ½” long 3lbs.

Fishing Club News – Sept

Our Annual clambake went off with great success. Despite an all-day shower, 160 people attended.

Ed Baitt supplied a large tarp to put over the grill to keep the rain off the chicken being cooked. We had a Chinese auction with 40 prizes. Sister Barbara Emick donated 25 handmade crafts; Jim and Pat Swartz donated many wonderful items including lamps, pictures, and knives; and Jack McMillin donated fishing rods and reels.

Our next meeting will be Monday, October 5th at 7pm in the Clubhouse. This is when new officers will be elected, By Laws changed, and new rules. Anyone who would like to be on the fish club board or help out, male or female, please come to the meeting.

Some suggestions for next year will be a couples only tournament: Husband – Wife, Father – Daughter, Mother – Son or Girlfriend – Boyfriend. This would be a pan fish only event (bluegill, crappie, and perch). Another idea is to have a June fish fry as a fundraiser for the kids fishing day.
After the meeting, fish and chips will be served along with water and pop. Anyone wanting to BYOB is welcome.

There was no Big Fish registered for the month of August.

Rockin’ at the Shores

danceBy Barb Buckley

If you missed the Promotion Club’s End of Summer Dance on August 29 you missed a really super event! The joint was rockin’ while over 50 residents of all ages danced to the lively music of DJ Brendan Cain (TheBrendanCain@gmail.com), also a Shores resident, and enjoyed the DJ’s light show and sound system. So did the younger residents who favored the livelier tunes with their energetic dancing. Still there were plenty of oldies and tunes that several of us more mature folks appreciated. Many stories were shared among both old and new friends in between dances at our Clubhouse. While the rains poured outside the cheerful group inside remained cozy among friends enjoying the music, tasting wines and sharing treats brought from home. Sally Flash, our Promotion Club president and host for the event, thanked Promotion Club members for their work providing the yummy treats and decorating the Clubhouse. Sally said, “I wanted to try a DJ this year instead of a band hoping for a wider range of music that everyone would appreciate.” We sure got that, Sally! Sounds like a blueprint for future events.

Promotion Club events are friendly, get-togethers with no other purpose than to meet other residents and to laugh and share good times. It’s a great way to meet your neighbors learn more about what’s happening in our great community. And speaking about good times, don’t forget about dinner with the Friends & Neighbors on October 10. Mark the date so you don’t miss it. See you there!

2015 Cardboard Boat Races

The Promotion Club hosted another successful Cardboard Boat Race on August 1. There were 10 kids participating, and 6 boats, 3 that majestically sunk, and 3 that made multiple races.

Kids participating were Hannah Furlan in Shark Boat, Jackson Furlan in a red/white boat, J.P. Mogyordy in a jet propelled boat, Andrew and Maddy Sagerman in an unnamed boat, Evie Delano and Hudson Mills in the Green Flash, and Nicholas Skaruppa and Alex Hollis in Cat Fish, and Zak Geiger in Green Flash.

Hannah Furlan took the coveted Best Sinker award, Zac Geiger took the fastest time award at 2:05, and J. P. Mogyordy took the Best Boat Design award.

They all received trophies and all who participated received Certificates and Reward tickets for the Refreshment Stand. About 90 people came to shout out support and congratulate the participants. All parents of kids who made boats must also be congratulated for taking time with their children to help them design, build, and transport their boat to the races.

Stormwater Runoff

love-the-lake
By Richard D. Gainar, CEBS – Lake Management Committee

Storm water runoff is rainwater flowing from impervious areas such as roofs, roadways, and parking lots. Stormwater runoff carries pollutants such as motor oil, gasoline, grease, pesticides, fertilizers, and sediment just to name a few. Since most of our storm drains and ditches discharge to surface waters, these pollutants are washed by the runoff directly into our lake and streams.

Well, who cares? You should care! Our lake is a magnet for residents who enjoy fishing, boating, swimming, skiing or simply enjoying the esthetics. In addition, our lake is home to numerous types of wildlife including several threatened and endangered species.

So, what can I do to make a difference? You can help control pollution by planting trees, slope gardens and yards so that the water stays on your property. Use porous materials such as gravel beds or turf blocks rather than paved areas. Wash vehicles on grassy areas to let water seep into the ground. Properly recycle used oils and antifreeze. Don’t dump anything into a storm water drain and ditch. Use pesticides only when absolutely necessary. Use the right amount of fertilizer at the right time and properly dispose of all hazardous waste. Keep disturbances of natural ground surfaces to a minimum, and maintain your vehicle so it doesn’t drip oil, grease, or other fluids.

We all love our lake and must try to be good stewards. Be lake responsible.
