PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES - LETTER
MID YEAR REPORT 2015
As we mark the end of another school year, it is a good time to report on our own progress
at Lake Mohawk Country Club.
The Reserve Study Task Force and the Strategic Plan Committees, headed up by Phil
Marcellus and Harry O’Grady respectively, presented their recommendations to the Board
of Trustees in May. We thank them both, as well as their teams of volunteers. You will hear
more about these initiatives in the coming weeks. They are both critical to the legacy and the
future of our community.
The Capital Reserve Fund is necessary to protect the infrastructure of our community. This
fund will ensure that LMCC has the dedicated resources to repair and replace buildings,
roads, the Boardwalk and other capital assets. The establishment of this fund will reduce
financial shortfalls and surprises for all of us.
The Strategic Plan is an outline of the big picture plan for the growth and
improvements for our community. This plan will ensure that the Membership, the
Board of Trustees, the Management Team and all volunteers are working toward the
same goals and share the same vision.
You will receive a letter to your home outlining the meeting dates and times to discuss both
of these programs, which will be voted on at the Annual Meeting on Saturday, November
7 at 9am. We strongly urge you to attend one or more of these meetings. We need your
support and want your feedback.
Additional projects that are currently underway include*Thanks to the generous donations from local businesses and our Membership, we have
raised nearly $30,000 in donations for our Members Room. Work is underway and we
look forward to a great room for all of our members to enjoy! In the interim, do visit the
new Mohawk Room.
* Work continues on the Upper Beach. The treatment of the lake and hydro-raking will
continue throughout the season. Thanks to everyone for their work on this project. This
is a top priority for all of us. The Lake Committee, under the direction of Steve Waehler,
continues to work on a long term strategy for the care and wellbeing of all of our lakes.
*Our goal is to bring all Member accounts current. We have established a monthly billing
policy, as well as a more effective collection policy. Having all of these accounts up to date
serves all Members. We have also successfully transitioned to an in-house accounting system.
Further, all of our Beach, Dock and IntraClubs that are using our tax ID number have been
integrated into our accounting system. This makes us more compliant, and will enable us to
conduct complete financial audit following the 2015 fiscal year.
*The Beaches and Docks have developed a set of Standardized Rules and Regulations to
July 2015
ensure compliance with our general liability and Directors and Officers Insurance. Intraclub
officers will now be properly insured.
*THE PAPOOSE has been redesigned to be more informative, with a cleaner design and
format. The new Calendar provides a complete listing all the wonderful things there are for
you and your family to enjoy this summer. We welcome your ideas for stories and photos!
*Board of Trustee Meetings will now be held on the third Monday of each month at 7:30.
All are welcome. Meeting agendas are posted on the Members’ website.
Thanks you for your continued support. Please email me or your Board Members with any
questions or concerns. Be sure to attend the meetings about the upcoming Capital Reserve
Study and Strategic Plan.
Until then, stop by the Tiki Bar and come to Lobster Night at the BWC. Enjoy the best
view in the world!
Best regards,
Greg Yuskaitis PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

enhanced Rewards Program just announced by the Board.
• Members will receive a 5% discount on their meal (not
including alcohol) each time they dine at the Boardwalk
Club starting on Memorial Day Weekend.
• We are continuing to offer the Points program so

members will receive a $25 credit which can be used
for future dining at the BWC for LMCC merchandise.
Special BWC dining events also qualify for these rewards.
Points expire on December 31.
• Members and their guests can look forward once again
to Lobster Night on Wednesdays beginning July 8th, as
well as Lake Mohawk favorites like Jake's Lobster Mac &

TASTING ON THE
BOARDWALK
14
July 2015
T
he Fourth Annual Tasting on the Boardwalk,
held on May 17 was a resounding success for
all that participated. Hosted by the LMCC House
Committee, there were twelve area restaurants that
served their signature menu items. Delicious fare,
from smoked pork to brie crepes and jambalaya,
was enjoyed by all.
A silent auction for restaurant gift certificates
and locally donated items was held at the end
of the day. Major sponsors for the
event included Aquatic Technologies,
Princeton Hydro, Stop & Shop,
Sussex Bank, US Foods and Wilken &
Guttenplan.
The Country Club and the House
Committee partnered with the Sparta
Educational Foundation to include
the Dragon Boat Festival. This first
ever event at LMCC, benefitted Sparta
public schools. There were fortytwo teams and the competition was
intense. The beautifully carved boats
on the Lake were a spectacular sight.
The staff of the Country Club
made this combined large event run
smoothly and efficiently.
The proceeds from the Tasting event
provided a scholarship of $500 for
continuing the culinary education
of a restaurant employee. The
drawing was won by Villa Capri
II and was awarded by Jay Dunn,
House Committee Chairman, to
Bill Elig, owner of Villa Capri and
to his employee Ryan Dannibale.
The remainder of the proceeds was
donated to Lake Mohawk Country
Club to help fund their “Neighbors
Helping Neighbors” program,
along with a contribution to the
Members Room Project. A donation
was also given to the Lake Mohawk
Preservation Foundation.
The House Committee would like to recognize
its many hard-working members who made this
event possible: Jay Dunn, Chairman, Judy Dunn,
Marilyn Salfelder, Chris Cronin, Joe Wehmayer,
Jim Wardell, Jan Wardell, Jim Henderson, Lisa
Degraw, Robbie Salfelder, JoAnn Jany, Pattie
Cronin and Steve Chase. As always, the efficient
LMCC staff made it look easy.

held at Lake Mohawk since its inception, has long
enhanced the prestige of Lake Mohawk in the wider
community and, indeed, the State of New Jersey.
We are all aware of the national economic
downturn that has, in one way or another, affected
all of us. Though impacted as well, Lake Mohawk,
as a result of good leadership and management, is in a sound fiscal state. At the same time, good
management practice dictates careful oversight of ancillary activities and expenditures. You would
expect no less of us.
Accordingly, we are asking you to consider being an active participant in this year’s
July 4th fireworks display by making a personal donation to this patriotic and entertaining activity.
Our goal this year is $15,000. Thank you and Happy Spring!
JAY DUNN, TRUSTEE; CHAIRMAN, HOUSE COMMITTEE

SPARTA
RE-EVALUATION UNDERWAY
he Town Council shared plans for the ReT
Evaluation of Sparta, including Lake Mohawk
at a recent public meeting. The process, which is
currently underway, will appraise all properties
within Sparta to achieve uniformity and current
values. Both residential and commercial properties
will be assessed. Check out www.asi.nj.com for up
to date information.
LMCC has arranged for an informative meeting
with the Sparta Township Tax Assessor – Mr. Joseph
Ferraris as well as a representative from the appraisal
company to hold an “Open House” meeting. This
meeting will take place on Thursday, June 25th at
7pm at the Clubhouse. Please join
us in The Mohawk Room for this.
There are several steps to the
process, which will be completed
in early October.
Inspection: Includes a physical full
site inspection and evaluation of
outside influences such as lake front
view, power line obstructions and
structural enhancements. Valuations
are to include bathrooms, kitchens,
attics and basements. No stairless
attics will be inspected. Empty
lots will also be evaluated. Each
inspection will occur during daytime
hours, unless requested. All will
have proper identification. Do not
allow strangers into your home.
Note: Highest assessments will
be assumed when property is not
available for inspection.
Analysis: Compare and contrast with
comparable homes.
Review: All analysis will be reviewed
and notifications will then become
I
available. Comparable information
will be available on the Town website.
One on one meeting’s are available
with the Township and Appraisal
Systems. Final transmissions will
be submitted to township of
Sparta. New property taxes will be
implemented in 2016. •

H
appy Fourth of July! I hope
you all had a great holiday
and are now happily in full
summer mode.
Memorial Day was such a fun
day at Beach 2. There were
so many people swimming,
fishing, playing volleyball and
just enjoying the holiday with
friends. Those being said, please
remember that parking is for
Beach patrons only! We have had
situations where there is no one
at the beach and yet the lot is
full. This will be monitored and
violators will be towed.
Also, please be considerate of
other beach members. Do not
throw cigarette butts in the sand,
which is disgusting! Please take
home all of your trash and throw
it out at home, we do not want
any unwanted animals hanging
around our beach. Lastly, sand
toys and boogie boards are there
for the enjoyment of all kids
at the beach. Please have your
children return all the toys to the
shed when they are done playing
for the day.
If you have not already found
us on Facebook please do so.
We will keep this page updated

again the trash has gotten to be
too much to handle.
Always have your member tags
and guest tags/wristbands ready
to show lifeguards. Tags are
required by LMCC and you
will be asked to leave the beach
if you do not have them. We
implore all parents at the beach
to please watch your kids and
make sure they are not getting in
to trouble or using our amenities
inappropriately. We have had
some issues last month regarding
children who are unattended on
the beach, docks, and in the volley
ball area. Children are not allowed
to use the hammock without an
adult present - it is not a swing.
Please keep off the new retaining
wall. Our brand new playhouse
had its roof dented and cracked
due to children sitting on top of
it, there was damage to a water
line, and people have been taking
private kayaks from the racks
and leaving them on the beach.
The kayaks are not for public
use - they are not owned by the
beach, so if they do not belong
to you, please do not use them.
We all work very hard to keep
our beach clean and provide toys
and activities for the kids, so we
appreciate your cooperation in
maintaining all of the wonderful
things our beach has to offer.
Finally, we would like to send
a big thanks to Curt and the
LMCC crew for helping fix the
Swim Dock that took a beating
over the winter, and another

Lightning’s competed in two races
in which Rich Miner won two
firsts followed by Perry Anderson
in both races and our newest
skipper, Peter Breiling, third.
Peter is sailing Tattoo, previously
owned by Chuck Chute, who
now is concentrating his efforts
on his establishment, Black Rock
Fine Wine and Craft Beer in
Idaho Falls. We wish Peter the
best with his “new” boat and
Chuck with his new venture.
Don Okner crewed for Peter on
May 24 because Don’s boat was in
“dry dock” with a jib halyard lost
in the mast. Fortunately, due to
the efforts of Perry Anderson and
Don, the jib halyard was retrieved
in time for racing on May 31.
But alas, a rain storm followed by
calm air once again and caused a
cancellation of racing.
The LMYC was homeport for the
1938 World Champion Snipe

fingers crossed for a sunny day.
This is the team’s busiest month.
We have a show on Sunday,

Just a quick note, we also want
to take a moment to remind
our fellow boaters that safety is
everyone’s responsibility. While
we welcome everyone to come
to the Boardwalk area to watch
us ski, we ask you do so safely,
especially if you are arriving by
boat. Please be aware of our boats
and skiers during practices on

Tuesday and Thursday evenings
at 6:00pm until sundown and
Saturday and Sunday mornings
at 9am until noon. It is best for
boats to travel along the East
Shore Plaza end of the Boardwalk
when entering and exiting the
area. We encourage every boat
operator to be focused, alert,
and aware every time you are on
the lake, no matter where you
are. Operating your boat in a
courteous, considerate manner
increases everyone’s safety and
enjoyment. We ask you to be
especially alert when approaching
the north end of the lake during
the time of a Ski Hawks’ practice.

George’s council and friendship
along with Fran Smith’s hard
work were extremely instrumental
in helping us board members,
and the community as a whole,
make great strides in pulling the
Club out of some of its darkest
and most challenging times. His
advice was always measured and
had the community’s best interest
in preserving its assets in his mind
and heart. From my perspective
the only thing more important
to George was his family - wife
Margaret and daughter Meave. It
is difficult to separate the work
he did for this community from
the accomplishments of Fran.
We all owe him and the work he
put into this community a great
deal of respect and gratitude. My
sympathies go out to Margaret
and Meave. George will be missed
by many of us.
I, Ed Maske, always regarded
George as an outstanding member
of our legal community. Both
his knowledge of the law and
his application of the law were
exceptional. Like me, George was
an avid history buff and when
we weren’t talking law, we were
probably discussing the Civil War.
One of my fondest memories of
George is when he came to visit
me in the Union Army camp in
Gettysburg at a reenactment 20
years ago. George was an honest
and sincere man, who always
sought to do the right thing. I will
miss him greatly. He was truly one
of nature’s noblemen.
I, David L. Hughes, have been
a LMCC member, as a summer
weekend resident, since 1976.
Having attended most of the
Annual Membership Meetings
since about 1985, I thus came
to know George as the Club’s
attorney and watched as he

About three years ago I was
honored to be appointed to the
Club’s By-Laws Committee whose
membership included George.
Since then George became a good
friend. He showed me the “quickway” to I-84 from Sparta which
shortened my summer trips to
Maine. Having served as the City
Clerk for Summit, I know how
important institutional history

my friend, and his guidance
was especially signifi cant and
very much appreciated. His
contributions to the community
were substantial. I feel the Club
owes George special recognition
for the many years of hard work.
I, Dean Reinauer, have known
George for about 15 years, and
will always recall his “Scotch

a drink of scotch. I extend my
deepest sympathies on George’s

I, Daniel A. Colfax, was lucky
enough to get to know George,
his wife Margaret, daughter
Meave and his assistant Maureen
Rezny as a result of sharing an offi
ce with him these past 4 years.
George was a champion for the
little guy, a resolute believer in the
truth, had a brilliant legal mind
and was a good man. He actually
loved the practice of law, as much
as he loved to cook and garden.
But the true joy in his life was
spending time with his friends,
going to New York to visit Meave
and his vacations abroad and at
Cape Cod with Margaret. While
he will be missed and certainly
passed away before his time,
George lived his life on his terms
and to its fullest every day.
I, Will Hookway, knew George
for a long time, but we became
close friends in recent years
sharing common interests such
as railroading and cooking.
George and I rode together in
my trackcar on the Nittany and
Bald Eagle Railroad and the rail
through the Lycoming Valley
in PA, enjoying the unique trip
and taking many photos of the
sights along the rail. I introduced
George to Les Marmitons and
we always enjoyed our monthly
drive, and sometimes challenging
conversations, to the dinner
meetings. Traveling to the
dinners will never be the same
with that empty seat - I’ll miss
him very much. But… George,
I’ll eat your share of the dessert!
I, David Dumbroff, Esq., met
George in 1990 when I began
practicing law in Sussex County.
Jogging by his office, I would
stop in to get guidance on a
particular matter I was handling.
On other occasions I would stop
by his house for perfectly made
sandwiches and a moment to just
chat. George was a great friend
and on occasion has literally
given me the shirt off his back.
What always struck me about
George was his unwavering
ethical commitment. He was
always a great resource, both
knowledgeable and practical. One
of the things I always enjoyed
about George was his sense of
humor which was absolutely
fantastic. I recently spent some
time with George and while
together I mentioned that I had
a closing with his office and legal
staff, telling him that Margaret
did a great job and everything
went through smoothly. George
held up his hand in a fist and
said she was his rock. I will
always have that memory of
him holding his hand in a fist.
I continue to receive guidance
from George - I often find myself
looking at his real estate attorney
review letter which helps me
better represent my clients. This
will always be part of George’s
legacy - his love for his wife and
daughter, his many friends and his
commitment and lasting influence
on the legal community.
I, Harry O’Grady, have known
George for over 20 years and
worked with him closely on
Financial issues at the Club. He
tirelessly provided his expertise
and hard work to support
LMCC and make it what it is
today. George cared deeply for
this community and always
provided keen legal advice.

LAKE PEOPLE
MEET THE
BEIERLE FAMILY
J
ack Beierle was born and raised in Sparta. He
and his wife Suzie married and later moved to
Lake Mohawk in 1981.
The Beierle Family has enjoyed a long history
here. Jack’s father, Russell was a Pay Master for
the construction work crews that built the original
homes around the Lake. A plaque honoring
Russell Beierle is on permanent display adjacent to
the Boardwalk clock.
Russ and his wife Mary raised their family here
on Lake Mohawk. In addition to Jack, four
of their five daughters raised their families
here and continued the tradition of the Lake
Mohawk lifestyle.
Jack and Suzie also made Lake Mohawk their
family home and that Lakeview home is still the
gathering place for all of their children and their
grandchildren. Suzette, their daughter and her
husband Gene and daughter Elizabeth visit often,
but always for the July 4th holiday. Son Jackie and
his wife Mary live in Sparta with their son, Brent.
Son Fred lives and works in New York City, and
often retreats to the Lake for a weekend visit.
Suzie says that the summer at the Lake is her
favorite time, filled with tradition. She particularly
loves the Parade and the Ski Hawks Show. “The
4th of July fireworks get better each year” she says.
The family enjoys the sunsets while dining with
family and friends at the Boardwalk Club.
“When driving down Winona Parkway with its
flowering trees, lake style buildings and shops…it
reminds me of how special Lake Mohawk is to my
whole family,” adds Beierle. •

LAKE SAFETY
ON THE WATERFRONT
- QUICK REFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS
BEACHES:
Beach 1 will now be staffed Mon-Fri from 9AM
to 6PM and 12-6 on weekends when there are no
events. All beaches close at 10 PM.
BEACH TAGS:
Tags/wristbands are required for all and will
be strictly enforced. Guest wristbands can be
purchased at the club office during normal
business hours. When the office is closed, the
Boardwalk Club cashier will have a limited
quantity for purchase. MEMBERS MUST BE
WITH THEIR GUESTS.
NEW BEACH SIGNS:
NO LIFEGUARD ON DUTY signs have been
removed and replaced by smaller but more detailed
signs. These new signs are more reflective of our
community, lake style and culture. Our beaches
are private and for our members and their guests
only. Therefore, beach tags are required. The club
staffs our beaches with Lifeguards from 12 noon to
6PM daily.
In order to make sure that our members, their
guests and anyone else entering onto our
beaches are advised, we have posted new signs.
These signs state:
“Beach Tags are required. Swimming/Bathing
is permitted only at designated protected
beaches. Lifeguards are on duty between 12
noon and 6 PM daily. Swimming/Bathing at
any other time is discouraged and is at your
own risk. A protected beach is one with a
manned lifeguard stand. If the stand is not
manned, the beach is not a protected beach.”
These signs will be located in two places at each
beach, one at an entrance and another on the
back of the Lifeguard stand. These will be in
place from mid-June, when we begin staffing full
40
time until Labor Day. From the day after Labor
Day until mid-October, the NO LIFEGUARD
ON DUTY signs will go back up. These will
stay up at all the beaches until we put up our Ice
Warning signs. When the Ice Warning signs
come down (hopefully in early April!!!!!!) the NO
LIFEGUARD ON DUTY signs will go back up.
We feel that this will offer our members guidance
in using our facilities. It will also offer a warning
to our members when the beaches are not
staffed due to inclement weather, emergencies or
inadequate staffing during the latter part of the
season as well as during the off season periods.
Our Lifeguards will announce that they are going
off duty at 6PM and ask for everyone to exit the
water. They will record the number of people left
on the beach at 6PM and then leave. Swimming
and bathing is always at your own risk. We thank
you for your support and cooperation.
BEACH PARTIES:
Each Beach Association has their own Beach
Party policy and procedure. However, every
Beach or Private Party function must be
registered with the Waterfront Director. This
is necessary for proper staffing for the event. A
Beach and Private Party Registration form is
available on line on the club’s website. This form
must be submitted at least seven (7) days prior to
the event to ensure proper staffing.
BIMINI TOPS FOR LIFEGUARD CHAIRS:
The East Shore Beaches 2, 4, 5 and 6 traditionally
get beaten with sun and wind. We lose umbrellas at these beaches during the summer. Despite
gallons of sun block, our Lifeguards suffer a little.
In cooperation with Danforth’s, they helped design
bimini tops for our Lifeguard chairs. Hopefully,
these will be strong enough to sustain the winds
and protect our Lifeguards who protect our swimmers. Thanks to Diana and Scott at Danforth’s for
helping with this project.
July 2015
JULY 4TH FIREWORKS:
Once the fireworks begin, all swimmers should
be out of the water and in their boats. This is for
your safety. During the fireworks, our busiest
boating night, swimmers may not be seen by
boaters arriving late and trying to find a good spot
to watch the show. Be safe and enjoy the show.
SWIM LESSONS AND JUNIOR LIFEGUARDING:
Please be advised that these programs are
conducted Monday through Friday at Beach 1 and
Boardwalk from 9 to 11:30 AM from June 29th
to August 7th. We ask boaters to please be careful
and considerate in this area during those times.
MARINE PATROL:
The Marine Patrol will be checking boat tags at
docks, the Boardwalk and the Marina. Letters will
be sent out by the office to those who have expired
or no tags. The Marine Patrol will issue warnings
first, but if it comes from the office, 1st offense is
50% of your boat registration fee, 2nd offense is
100% and 3rd offense is appearance in front of
the Marine Services Adjudication Board. Since
this new fine system has been in place in 2013,
our compliance rate has increased dramatically.
Violations went down from 195 violations to
app.40 last year. Thank you for your compliance.
There have been reports from some of our vigilant
members of nonmembers launching kayaks into
our lake. All boats, kayaks, canoes, SUPs, etc.
need to have an LMCC boat tag displayed.
WATERFRONT LIFEGUARDING
COURSE:
The Waterfront Lifeguarding course will be
conducted for LMCC members only beginning
with the prerequisite testing on July 10th. The
course will run Monday through Thursday, 8AM
to 12 noon from July 13th to July 23rd. The fee
for this course is $200.00. Candidates must be at
least 15 years old by the end of the course. Please
contact Rich Carlson at [email protected]
for registration.
NAVIGATION BUOYS:
Please notify the Marine Patrol if any Navigation
Buoy seems out of place. Please pay attention
to these regulatory buoys. There are over 75
Navigation buoys on the lake.
VESSEL SAFETY CHECKS:
If you missed the Vessel Safety Check at the
Marina last month, you can contact Rich Carlson
at [email protected] and schedule one.
These are free, usually taking about 10-15 minutes
and upon successful inspection, you may be able to
get a discount on your boat insurance.
STAND UP PADDLEBOARDS:
USCG now defines SUPs as vessels and need to
adhere to the state and federal regulations. PFDs
must be worn for those under 13. PFDs must be
available for all others while on SUP. Inflatables
are good if worn by 16 and over.
BRIDGE:
Bridge jumpers will be reported to the Trustees and
Marine Services Adjudication Board for action.
This is dangerous and causes liability to the club.
Nonmembers may be charged with trespassing.
FACEBOOK PAGE:
The Marine Services maintains a Facebook page.
We continually update it with safety information,
lake and beach conditions, weather advisories,
swim lesson cancellations, and beach closings. Feel
free to visit us. •

LAKE SAFETY
NJ AND USCG REGULATIONS FOR
STAND UP PADDLERS
The sport of Stand up Paddle boarding (SUP) has
exploded. Many of our members are getting on the
water with their boards for the first time. It’s great,
it’s fun, but do you know what you need to have
and do to be legal on the water?
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has determined that
SUP boards operated outside a surfing, swimming
or bathing area are “vessels” under USCG
regulations. The following refers to what that means
for you when you’re outside those areas.
LIFE JACKETS:
• Each paddler 13 years of age or older must
have a USCG-approved Type I, II, III, or
appropriate Type V (see below) life jacket.
It doesn’t have to be worn, although that’s
certainly the wisest plan, and one which we
strongly recommend.
• A child 12-years old or younger must wear
their USCG-approved life jacket.
• The jacket must be in “serviceable condition,”
without rips, tears or deterioration that will
diminish its performance.
• The jacket must be of an appropriate size and
fit for the wearer.
• A Type V jacket can be used as long as it’s
USCG-approved and applicable for the activity.
• Belt pouch-type inflatable PFDs must be worn
on the person to meet the life jacket regulation.
For other types of inflatable PFDs, check the
approval description printed on the unit for
restrictions. You must be at least 16 years old to
wear an inflatable PFD.
• For all life jackets, be sure to read the label
to know if special requirements pertain to
that device.
OTHER REQUIRED GEAR:
• A whistle or other sound producing device
must be carried to warn other boaters.
• If you’re on the water after sunset, you need to
have a flashlight, or similar lighting device, to
warn other boaters.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO:
• As the operator of a vessel, you need to follow
the Navigation Rules.
• You also must register your SUP with LMCC
and obtain a valid boat tag. This tells us that
the SUP belongs on the lake and if found, we
can locate the owner.
• However, according to the NJ State Police
Marine Bureau, the state of NJ classifies the
• SUP as a water sport activity, such as surfing.
Therefore, at this time the State of
• NJ does not require a PFD on a SUP. Even
though the state of NJ does not require a
PFD on a SUP, we would encourage those
participating in the SUP activity to have a PFD
somewhere on the SUP.
• Remember, on a SUP board you’re about the
most vulnerable person on the water. Watch
out for power boats and other crafts; use your
signaling devices to help them spot you.
• Wearing brightly colored life jackets and apparel
in well traveled waterways can be a life saver.
Have a great time on the water and

LAKE SAFETY
PADDLE SAFE
T
here has been an increase in paddle sports on
the Lake, Paddlers have to know the rules for
boating safely. The number one rule is that a PFD/
lifejacket is required to be readily accessible, this
means that if you are not wearing the lifejacket it
must be within arm’s reach. It is best to wear the
lifejacket, especially during busy days, inclement
weather and night time. Consider it like wearing
a bicycle helmet or wearing a seat belt in a car.
Kayaks, canoes and other paddlers should never
assume that powerboats can see you on the water,
always watch out for power boats. Keep a sound
signaling device such as a whistle handy in order
to attract attention if needed. At night a white
light must be shown toward oncoming boat traffic.
Paddlers may carry either a flashlight or lighted
lantern that can show a white light in sufficient
time to prevent a collision. This is both a federal
and state regulation. Always make sure that you
tell someone where and when you are paddling,
also weather changes quickly so you must get to
I
F
C
shore as quickly as possible. Paddle together, it is
sometimes more fun and enjoyable when paddling
alongside someone or in a group.

Family Fun Sundays, when kids are allowed to
run the bases on the field and take photos after
the game. Every Wednesday, kids under 12
are allowed into games for free. On Mondays,
Tuesdays and Thursdays, we have special deals
at the concession stands that will make food
and drink extra affordable for our fans,” said
Dave Chase, general manager of the Miners.
“Every Friday night – even when there are no
games – the Miners will hold Movie Night
Fridays. And on Saturdays after home games,
fans can enjoy spectacular fireworks.”
To celebrate Independence Day, the Miners
will host an extra dazzling fireworks display

July 4). First pitch is at 7:05 pm and gates open
at 6 pm. All events will be held at Skylands
Stadium, located at 94 Championship Place,
Augusta, N.J.
Here are this year’s fun days and
special deals:
• Family Fun Sunday: Kids run the bases after
the game and families can get their family
picture taken on the field after the game.
• Munchy Monday: Discounted prices on
food and drinks at the concession stands.
(Deal changes every week.)
• Two for Tuesday: Two-for-one deals on food
and drinks at the concession stands. (Deal
changes every week.)

in free (deal only available at the box office)
