LAKE HAUTO CLUB
NEWSLETTER
PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
By Kenneth Snyder
This is the last of many newsletters that I have written for
Lake Hauto. As we all know, the bylaws allow a member
to serve two consecutive 3-year terms and after one year
they may run again. I’ve done that two times since 2001.
Lake Hauto came a long way and the Association is financially stable.
Zero Beach: Zero Beach is well on its way to become a
full-fledged beach. The seawall is completed and it looks
great. It stops the sand from going into the water which
was our objective. Since we surveyed Zero Beach, the
Club is ready to allocate funds to implement the improvement plan. The draft improvement plan includes a pavilion, two parking lots, sandy beach and boat docks. I’m
sure there will be some fine-tuning when the Board begins the basic infrastructure of this project.
Eastwood Beach: Eastwood got a whole new configuration to the bank with rocks and flowers. The beautification committee did a great job planting the flowers. Both
A and B docks have been totally rebuilt, new mulch was
added to the playground and regular mulch was also added to dress-up the rest of the landscape. A walking path
that will take you from the basketball court down to the
beach, has been started. The beach also got a fresh layer
of sand and a pile for the kids to play on. The parking lot
had stone added to it after the rough winter.
Oakwood Beach: Oakwood had their dock rebuilt a couple years ago. The beach got a fresh layer of sand and
also a pile for the kids to play on. The Oakwood volunteers have spread the playground mulch and are now in
the process of painting tables. They are also planning to
install steps to provide easy access from the parking lot to
the beach area. I would like to thank the volunteers of
Oakwood Beach for jobs well done and taking pride in
the Beach area.
Crescent Beach: Crescent Beach had new playground
mulch added and regular mulch put around the trees. The
parking lot was stoned, and the beach got a fresh layer of
sand that is raked every day by member volunteers. I
would like to thank the volunteers that rake all three
beaches.
Roads: About 4,500 feet of Lake Drive is going to be
replaced beginning where we left off in 2014 and continuing east, past the east gate. New trip wiring will be in-

stalled due to the black topping beyond the east gate. This
will complete the Lake Drive road project from White
Oak to just beyond the east gate. The cost of doing the
roads in 2014 and 2015 was $455,832.00. The road program for 2016 will be done as money becomes available.
Rush Township has completed the guard rails from the
main entrance to our property line. They also committed
to provide us approximately 44 ton of salt to maintain
Lake Drive from our property line up to Route 54 in the
upcoming winter.
Walking Trails: All the walking trails are completely
redone. We expect the four-wheelers and other motorized
vehicles not use them as they are for foot and bicycle traffic only. We used 240 ton of stone plus labor to complete
this project. This was a long overdue job that had been
promised for the past 10 years and it was time we get this
done.
Gates: The gates are working as expected. There were
some upgrades added to make the gate operation more
membership friendly. This year we had very few people
that hit the gate compared to last year. Our goal this past
winter was to keep the area well salted and cindered so
nobody would slide into the gates and that seemed to
work very well. We will continue this practice moving
forward.
Again, the gates are working as expected, but there are
times they may malfunction. If you see a gate malfunctioning during office hours, call 570-645-7100. During off
hours, call 570-751-6512 and maintenance will attend to
the problem.
Cameras/Security: As you all know we have cameras
throughout the Lake and they record 24 hours a day. We
also have license plate readers at all gates plus overhead
cameras. The cameras have proven to be a great deterrent
for mischief and other vandalism. We have one camera
that sweeps a large area and 44 regular cameras recording
in full color.
We contracted with the same security company as last
year with a few changes towards enforcement that seems
to have improved their effectiveness. Your recreation tags
are very important and are required to be visible whenever
you’re on the beach or recreation area.
Recreation: The merry-go-round and sliding board at
Eastwood Beach were replaced with a modern all-in-one
piece of playground equipment at a cost of approximately

system left behind could be as large as 15 feet.
$11,000. The cost of recreation equipment is very high due
State and Federal safety regulations. For instance, we could
not afford to buy a merry-go-round again because the new
safety regulations require a breaking system.
This project will have to be done in late August or early
September. When the project is being done there can be
no wake whatsoever because it washes the herbicide off
the lily pad and when it hits the water it becomes totally
neutral. The board will be notifying the membership
when this will be done.
We had a great selection of bands, July 4th fireworks and
we are contracted for fireworks for Labor Day weekend.
This year we received $18,341 worth of donations, which
offset the expense for the bands and fireworks. Please refer
to the banner on the Club office wall for a complete list of
donors. One firework display costs $4,500 plus the cost of
extra security. There will also be a Halloween and Christmas party this year.
Legal: There is currently three legal concerns and two that
were finalized. (1) A member built a draining system on
Lake Hauto Club property and wants us to pay the costs.
The Board believes this member had no right to put it there
in the first place. (2) There was an accident on Route 54 at
Lake Drive and the Club was named in this case. The Club
does not own any part of the road so we will ask to be relieved from this lawsuit. (3) The third legal issue concerns
a waterfront member which is getting complicated by the
day. This issue is anticipated to result in several lawsuits.
Member Picnic: The membership picnic is chaired by
James Demetriades Jr. again this year. He did a great job
last year and I would like to thank him for that and for this
year in advance. You will find the menu on the website.
Volunteers are needed, so if you would like to volunteer
for the day of the picnic, call the office at 570-645-7100.
James would like to have 12 volunteers.
Community Center: Phase 2 has begun. The new energyefficient glass windows and doors in the library and the
coffee shop make the front of the building look completely
different. Also, we completed the refurbishing of the restrooms with all new fixtures, new floors, painting and
widening the doors. The restrooms were heated with electric; we re-piped the area and is now heated/cooled off of
the regular furnace, which lowers the operational cost.
Lily Pads: We have a contract with a consultant to assist
the Board to control the amount and location of the lily
pads. The Board agreed to remove those in front of the
swimming areas and some that are in front of waterfronts.
You’ll be notified if we are doing anything in front of your
waterfront. If you don’t want them removed discuss your
position with the Board or call the office. This will be an
ongoing project for a couple years to have complete control
of the lily pad growth.
We had a meeting at the community center that was attended by nearly 60 people. There were great questions that our
consultant answered thoroughly. For example, our consultant explained that by pulling a lily pad out only removes
the flower and it will come back next year because the root
LAKE HAUTO CLUB

Additionally, the lily pads in the 5 mile an hour (no
wake) zone will be thinned out and pushed back towards
the far shoreline.
Leaf Dump: The leaf dump has been pushed back and
will remain locked. You will be able to open the lock by
using a code. The code system works a lot better than a
key and this makes the dump available to members 24
hours a day, 7 days a week. When taking leaves over to
the leaf dump, back in as far as you can before you dump
your leaves. This could save us $1,000 because we don’t
have to push the leaves back. No plastic bags, lumber,
building material, stumps or large rocks. This is for
leaves and grass clippings only! To get the code, call
the Club office and be sure to lock the gate every time
you exit the dump.
In Closing: As you realize, with the major projects like
lily pads, gates, roads, leaf dump, community center,
recreation, security, dam, beaches, restrooms and trash,
everyday maintenance becomes time consuming. We
have two full-time employees year-round and four additional part-time in the summer. They get a tremendous
amount of work done to ensure the community remains
one we are proud of.
Election is coming up soon, so please vote. There are
three positions open with four members running. Your
vote counts!
These past 14 years were great years for Lake Hauto
Club and I am thankful for the opportunity to serve the
membership during these times. This is my last President’s letter because I will be off the Board in September. We have accomplished a great deal in that time and
I wish the Club great success in the future.
Have a safe summer and I hope to see you around the
Lake.

Recreation Steak & Clambake: Thank you to all who came to our Steak & Clambake dinner. Despite some stubborn clams, everyone seemed to enjoy their meal and each other's company.
-Recreation Committee
Thank you for allowing me to serve our community for the past four years. I have met and worked with many wonderful members and I am very grateful for all that I have experienced and learned about our community.
Our Recreation events would not have been successful without the contributions of the Snyder, Demetriades, DeAngelo, Smith, and Kane families. Thank you for your time and efforts in making our children's holiday parties and beach
movies special. Also, to Kim & Deb in our office who kept track of registrations, emails, deposits, etc... We couldn't
have asked for two better people to keep our chaos organized! Most importantly, thank you to Mark, Sean, & Megan for
always being supportive, even when there were 600 plastic eggs in our living room that needed to be filled!!
Best wishes to our next elected board. - Jen Lavine

SECURITY NOTES
The security team that we have hired will be checking for the following:
1. Recreation tags need to be worn whenever members are using any Recreation Areas. There are many new members and this makes it easier on everyone to know that you are a member. No one is exempt from this rule no matter
how long you have lived here.
2. Boat Stickers need to be on both sides of the boat towards the rear of the boat. Security will be inspecting all boats.
Boats may not be launched without the stickers.
3. Recreational Vehicles must be registered with the club and the stickers must be visible. Drivers must possess a
valid drivers license.
4. Speed Limits will be checked periodically. The speed limit on Lake Drive is 25 miles per hour and on the side
streets, it is 15 miles per hour.
Please read the Lake Hauto Club Rules and Regulations for a complete list of rules and
thank you for your cooperation.

THE VOTING AND COUNTING PROCESS EXPLAINED
DO NOT SIGN YOUR BALLOT.
Place your ballot into white envelope #1 and seal. Do NOT put the number of votes on the white envelope. This
number is filled in by the tellers. The number represents how many lots you own. It is NOT how many people you
are voting for or how many people are in your household or on the deed. Place sealed envelope #1 into envelope #2.
Do not remove the return label on the green envelope or your vote will not count.
Please mail this ballot so that it is received in the post office no later than the date that is specified on the ballot. No
ballots will be accepted in the office. Hand delivered ballots will NOT be accepted at the Lake Hauto Club office.
Only the ballots that are received from the post office box will be accepted.
The procedure for counting votes:
 There are always from six to eight volunteers who serve as tellers . There is one Judge of Elections.
 The green envelopes are put in alphabetical order first.
 Then only the green envelopes are opened at this time.
 The names are then individually called out, the teller is then told how many votes/number of lots that member has
and that number is then recorded on the white envelope by the teller.
 The green envelope is then discarded before the white ballot envelope is ever opened.
 After all the names are called, the white envelopes are then individually opened and the number of lots/votes is
marked on the ballot itself.
 The final step is to count the votes. For example, if you have one lot, your vote is worth one. If you have 2 lots,
your vote is worth 2, and so on. If the question is “yes” or “no”, you must make a choice. If you are voting for
board of directors, you may vote for just one or up to the number of positions that are open.
Your vote will be disqualified if you owe dues for more than one year, delinquent on an assessment, or your name is
missing from the green envelope and we cannot check whether you are eligible to vote.
I hope that this clarifies the counting process for all ballots. This is your community and it is very important to vote so
that you are heard.

awarded a corresponding prize. Donuts and drinks
were available in the morning and pizza was served
at lunch. I would like to thank Greg Slivka for
measuring the fish, keeping the records and awarding the prizes. I would also like to thank all of those
generous people whose contribution made this event
possible. A list of those people is published in this
newsletter.
The lake was stocked on April 21st with 400 hybrid
largemouth bass 6-7”, 343 crappie, 625 blue gills 34”, and 167 yellow perch 7-9 “. On May 5th 200
pounds of shiners were released as feeder fish.
Please remember to practice catch and release whenever possible. There is nothing wrong with taking a
few fish to eat but please release the largemouth bass
over 16”. These are female fish and are our breeder
fish.
Please support the fish program by purchasing raffle
tickets you received in the mail.

in Redner’s Save-A-Tape and Boyers’
rebate programs.
Take your eligible Save-A-Tapes from Redner’s
down to the office and drop them into the outside
letter drop or take them inside the office during regular office hours and give them to Kim. At Redner's
you must remember to have the cashier swipe your
key tag in order for your Save-A-Tape to be eligible..
At Boyer’s, all you need to do is swipe your Boyer’s

you. If you need a save-a tape key tag from Redner’s, ask any cashier for one before he/she begins
to register your purchase.
Currently, all the rebate money from Redner’s and
