June Winery Bus Tour Recap
The STARS Club’s first Winery Bus Tour of the year was held on June 15th. Despite the rain, the group had a great time visiting Stonegait Winery, Laurentia Viveyard, and Laurello Vineyards. We did not get the opportunity to visit Cask307 as it was not yet open and Silver Crest Cellars closed before we made it over. No big deal, we stopped at Laurello instead. We all had a wonderful time and hope you can join us next time! The next tour will be held October 5th.

Turn Your Lights On!
Lake Safety Committee
By: Bruce C. Bower
At sunset, you are supposed to turn on your vessel (boat) lights. This is not a request, it is a State Law and common sense. There will be some tough concepts coming, so bear with me. At sunset (which is when that big fiery ball goes below the horizon, where the sky seems to meet the earth), you are posed to turn your lights ON. Now then, you should have two lights on the bow (the front), one green and one red, (as in Christmas colors, oops not PC). And to make this more difficult, you should have a white one on the stern (the stern is the end of the boat where the engine is, you know that noisy thing ) all at one time! Three lights: one red, one green and one white. Here’s another twist, how about checking these important lights to make sure they work, scary huh?
Now for the jet jockeys, it’s simple, you get off the lake before sunset. So when it’s dark, you are supposed to be home. Upon close examination, you will see that there are NO light switches on your dashboard. Another clue as to when it is dark, is that you can’t see the people shaking their fists at you, from the shore. This is because you are not supposed to be on the water when it’s dark, setting up an opportunity to kill yourself or innocent others. Oh, if you are interested, the time of sunset changes every day, so look it up on your google machine and you will be highly amazed.
If this rant was too non-PC for you, just wrap the garbage in it and give me a call with your suggestions or criticisms, in order to try and attain safety and civility on our Lake.
Carry on smartly and safely,
Bower out cell 216.906.2301
Environmental tip of the month — Don’t flush wipes of any kind!
A reminder from the Roaming Shores Community Preparedness Club
Submitted by Louise Lisac
Please refrain from flushing any type of wipes; even the ones that say flushable. They have been contributing to problems in many communities and sewer systems have been negatively affected. It isn’t the design of the sewer systems causing the problem; it’s the design of the wipes themselves. They are not toilet paper and do not decompose in a reasonable period of time. They have been linked to blockages in many cities. Recently our own Shores has experienced an increase of wipes and they have created issues for our lift stations, our systems and our workers.
You may want to do some research on this topic. I know I did and I extracted the following from the website: https://strictlymanology.com/are-dude-wipes-flushable/
I don’t mean to be sexist with this specific website. It’s just that it had the most down to earth English version of why flushing wipes is a bad idea. Check out the experiment they initiated to prove it. Listed below is their conclusion.
“I’m not sure what the “Guidelines” are for flushable wipes, but based on my rudimentary experiment, I’d say that municipalities are onto something when they say their sewage systems are being clogged by these wipes.
One argument from flushable wipe companies is that people are flushing non-flushable wipes, which is the true contributor to clogs.
Again, I’m going to defer to my experiment and say that both flushable and non-flushable wipes can be a contributing factor to these sewage clogs.”
Please reconsider the next time you think of flushing a wipe and don’t. You can dispose of them another way. Save our sewer system, prevent inconvenience and needless repairs! You may also save some problems with your own plumbing systems. Thanks everyone for your consideration and your participation in the 2019 no flush wipe season!!!!
