MOTOR CUTS OUT WHEN SHIP IS 200 FEET UP: SWIMS TO SAFETY - NO ONE INJURED
The crowd of more
than 2,500 that attended the Oil Well
Supply company picnic at Canadobta Lake
yesterday was treated
to a rare sight when
the airplane piloted
by Ray Dyjak, age
24, Titusville, fell
into the lake about a
thousand feet north of
Marcresan Beach.
Mr. Dyjak had flown
to the lake in the early
afternoon to carry passengers in his ship and
cruised over the lake
several times prior to
the forced landing.
“I took off from the
farm on the hillside
west of the lake,” said
Mr.
Dyjak.”Upon
reaching an altitude of
about 200 feet the motor suddenly cut out.
At that time he was
well out over the lake
and saw at once the
impossibility of trying to find a landing
place on the surrounding shore which is for
the most part heavily
wooded.
I glided the ship in
as near to shore as I
thought I safely could,
slipped it down and
pul1ed the nose up
just before striking the
water.
I had loosened the
safety belt and as
soon as the plane hit,
I found myself under the water. I dove
out and climbed upon
the wing of the plane
which was still afloat
and called for a boat.”
The calls were unnecessary since two
motor boats headed
for the scene at once,
followed by numerous
canoes and rowboats.
The plane had fallen in
about nine feet of water and approximately 350 feet from the
shore. The accident
occurred at 5:15 p.m.

July 4, 2015
Come one Come all,
Light up your boat or light up
the shore line, in memory of
those we’ve loved & lost and
say goodbye to 2015 summer
Starts at Sundown
September 5
So many people have
met at the lake, fell in
love and lived a full rich
life. Some settled here
and centered their lives
and their families on the
lake they love. The Seidler’s are one of those
lucky couples, they spent
years enriching not only
their lives, but the community they lived in and
loved, a life filled with
many memories and accomplishments.
This love story started in
the 1950’s and is still ongoing. They told Billie
Jo Easterlin and me that
“We have had a Good
Life; so many Friends
and Experiences”
Olen was born and
raised in Union City,
for sixteen years of
his life he worked for
Union Service Gas Station, (now the Kwik Fill
Gas Station). He was
born in the little corner
house (that’s still there)
on Kilburn St, at age
four his family moved
to 20 Gillette St. When
he was fourteen years
old, his father built the
grey house (now white)
on the corner between
the hardware store and
township building.
Olen graduated in 1954
from Union City High
School, in 1956 was
drafted into the Army.
There were seventeen
young men from the
area that went to Indian Gap, just two didn’t
stay. Olen and a football star from Waterford, they were rejected
for ”Flat Feet”. That
was the standard reason
given at that time. One
of the officers told Olen
- You only weigh 110
pounds how far do you
think you can walk with
a 120 pound pack on.
Sally
was
from
Youngstown Ohio and
like many of us, spent
her summers at the lake.
Sally’s mother owned
five cottages by the old
Pierce’s Store; they
were on the hill towards
the lake, in the Ruggles
Park Allotment. When
she was in 8th grade she
cashed in some savings
bonds, purchased a cotton candy machine and
opened a booth in the
far left of Ruggles Park
by Bartlett’s Donuts.
Her Mom had a booth
with popcorn and other
stuff. The picture here
is of her in eighth grade
at her “Kotton Kandy”
booth.
Sally later moved her
business to Canadohta
Lake Park, between the
Shooting Gallery (the
Wellman Boys worked
the shooting gallery)
and a ride the Flying
Cages. She remembers
how good the owners
Max & Hope Lee were
to her. If it was raining
or something that she
did not open the booth,
Max would not charge
her rent, she sold cotton
candy and candy apples.
When they sent out food
for their employees on
Sundays – they always
included a meal for Sally. She eventually sold
the cotton candy machine to Max and Hope
Lee. I remember it being on the porch of the
Beach House with the
hard ice cream, in use
for many years.
One day Olen went
down to his Mom’s
sister’s cottage for a
picnic, a distant relative was there, he was
volunteered to take her
roller skating. It was
his first time at the rink,
a chance moment in
time that would forever
change his future. Olen
became the floor manager at the rink when he
was 17, he played the
music and announced
the skates, and he continued working there for
nine or ten years.
Sally was always at the
rink skating, one night
Sally went home all upset, she told her Mom
she hated the floor manager, he had made her
sit down for skating too
fast. Olen said one of
things he did when there
was a girl he wanted to
talk to, was to accuse
her of skating too fast.
He’d give them a warning first then have them
sit down and he would
go talk to them. Olen
doesn’t remember when
this happened but Sally and her Mother both
remember it. She was
smoking mad, he’s been
telling people (jokingly)
she has made me pay for
it ever since. Olen found
out that Sally’s Mother
did not like red heads,
(he was a red head) and
she did not want Sally to
marry him. But he persevered.
They chose September
21st 1957 to get married
at the rink, the place
they met and loved.
Sally’s relatives on her
mother’s side were
strict Catholics and told
her you don’t get married unless you are in a
church. Olen and Sally told them they were
bringing the church to
the rink. Everyone except Reverend Lyman
from the Union City
United Brethren Church
was on skates. The reverend had planned to be
on skates but changed
his mind the night before as some of his flock
didn’t like the idea.
Even their two year
old niece and their ring
bearer was on skates.
Sally has always said
she wanted to “Get married in her skates, and
be buried in her skates.”
Lots of people where
there for the wedding,
many they didn’t even
invite, the rink still had
the awnings that opened
in the front, where many
stood to watch, some
came inside and sat,
they didn’t care. People thought getting married on skates was crazy
back then. The rink was
owned by the Phyllis &
Willis Mall; the Mall’s
had given them the keys
to the Roller Rink and
went on vacation that
weekend.
Olen and
Sally had previously met
some friends who turned
out to be E.P. Lee’s relatives and they came in
from New Jersey for the
wedding. Phyllis Mall
was Hope Lee Newland’s sister, Hope was
married to Max Lee
(E.P. Lee’s son), small
world. Their wedding
reception was held at two
of the large cottages on
the hill overlooking the
lake, that Sally’s Mom
owned, each cottage had
five bedrooms for all the
family to stay. This picture was from their wedding at the rink.
In 1957 there were only
a handful of families
living year round at the
Lake, four of them in
Ruggles Park were the
Hodgins, Lloyd’s, Henry’s & Seidler’s.
Melody Lane was a
soda
fountain/teen
dance club, open in the
summer (May through
September) located on
Lake Rd in front of the
Skating Rink. They purchased Melody Lane in
1960 from original owners (who had it built)
Joe & Henrietta Miller, the Catholic Sunday
Masses were held there
before the Chapel was
built. You had to have
a membership to get in,
if you acted up they took
your membership away,
it cost 10 cents to get
in each time. No one
had cars back then, they
all walked from everywhere, and when skating
let out everyone went to
Melody Lane.
Sally
took their son with her
when she opened, and
had a playpen in the corner, the kids would take
him and play or dance
with him. They would
lay him on the pinball
machine and he would
try to catch the balls.
Melody Lane burnt in
1968 the fire was found
to be electrical. It was
closed at the time for the
winter, the electricity
was on because they kept
the freezers running. It
was snowing and windy,
Penelec had changed the
wire, it had a swag in it,
and was blowing in the
wind it arced and started the fire. A neighbor
down behind the skating rink was at his sink
getting a drink of water,
saw it blowing in the
wind, when he looked
up again it was on fire.
Olen was the areas Justice of the Peace from
1958 until 1975 when
JP’s were converted to
District
Magistrate’s;
he was a Notary Public
from 1958 until 2014.
They have lived at the
lake since they married.
First just off of Lake Rd
on Ash St, across from
Pop Cornish, in the little
white cottage, their front
porch was the Notary &
JP’s office. When they
started a family they
then built the house they
now reside in on Lake
Rd. Olen also managed
an Eckerd’s Drug Store
until 1975. He kept busy
with all his work, but
found time to give back
to the community in
which he lived.
Sally
started
the
Canadohta Canadettes
with Diane Mason (Owner of the Canadohta Roller Rink) in the 1960’s,
their uniforms color
was Orange. The group
went to Niagara Falls,
marched all around NY
and many other places; they were unique
because they were on
skates. The members
were girls from ages two
to twenty-two.
Sally
said if they didn’t have
enough girls for the parade they would put her
son and Diane’s in front
holding the banner instead of the girls. Sally’s sister-in-law Shirley
started the Union City
Kidettes their colors
were red white and blue.
In the 1960’s Olen started Canadohta Lake’s
Fire Police, he recalls
once he went down to
Centerville for training
and put the tank and
mask on, went in the
house, got in the living
room and the tank was
empty. He had inhaled
so much smoke that for
3 or 4 years afterwards
he couldn’t stand the
smell of smoke. The
Fire Police started with
four members, Olen
would go back to the fire
with the Fire Chief to try
and figure out how the
fires started. Olen also
told us he started the
first Little League at the
lake. They sponsored
their own team with Orange uniforms.
In 1975 Seidler’s Photography opened, both
Olen and Sally were
well known for taking
senior, family and wedding pictures. They expanded their business to
meet the changing times.
A Studio was added to
their home to take photos in, and later “The
Barn” was added. It was
not a real barn just the
style of a picture of an
Indiana horse barn Olen
had seen and wanted it
to look like. It has two
floors, is heated, lots of
storage, and work space.
The “Wedding Store”
had tuxedo rentals, some
wedding gowns rentals,
invitations and everything else you needed for
your wedding. They set
up and ran many Bridal
Shows though the years,
at Peak n Peek, Cor-
ry Motor Lodge, Sugar
Grove, in Warren, and
more.
Olen also took stock
car racing pictures, at
Statesville, Lernerville,
& Lake Erie Speedway. They still go to
Lake Erie Speedway on
Saturdays; he still has
his photo pass. Olen
went to help out when
they first opened up the
speedway, and never
stopped. He still jumps
in the cars to go out and
pick up stuff with the
guys.
Their son was on the pit
crew for Bobby Allison,
Olen then started photographing
NASCAR
racing. He was given a
NASCAR pass, and met
many of the NASCAR
drivers.
They would
leave on Thursdays for
the weekend and did so
up until about four or
five years ago. Olen got
to ride in the pace car
for the start of the race
at the Michigan International Raceway once
toward the end of his
career.
They have a Football
autographed by Jerry
Glanville coach for the
Houston Oilers; Jerry
offered to fly Olen down
to Houston for his operation when he heard he
had cancer. Jerry was
a member of the race
car circuit and he called
after Olen’s operation
to check on him. Sally
used to send Jerry cookies, he always looked for
them. They smile and
say “We made so many
great friends on the race
car circuit.”
Olen was also politically
involved in many community groups: Board/
Committee for the Union
City High School when
they built it; the Union
City School Board; the
Union City Senior Citizens Center, (is now the
last one living that got
it started it.); Chairman
of New York Board of
Governors of Photographers.
Although Olen has always lived in Pennsylvania, he was very much
involved with the Photographers Associations
in New York. He was
a member of SNAP –

2012.
This year C.L.A.B.A.
is dedicating this years
Breeze to an Icon of
Canadohta Lake. All
of you know her as the
former owner of Sally’s Place on the Lake,
the store she so capably
managed for 29 years.
She also owned three
cottages - one beside
her home on Lakeview
Drive, the Polly Wog at
the corner of Lakeview
and Taylor Avenue, and
the Mac located further
up Taylor Avenue. Following the fire in the cottage next to her home,
Sally extended her house
onto that lot, and recently she sold both of the
other cottages.
Sally and her family
came to Canadohta Lake
in the early 1950’s. The
Schramms
previously
spent time at Pymatuning Lake with Sally’s
friend’s family and enjoyed that experience
so much that they began
looking for a summer
retreat. The Schramms
ended up at Canadohta
Lake on someone’s
recommendation. They
rented a cottage at the
north end of the lake,
and as Sally and her
mother took their walks
along early Lakeview
Drive, Mrs. Schramm
fell in love with the
lot upon which Sally’s
home is now located.
Raised in the Wilkinsburg area of Pittsburgh,
Sally worked for Westinghouse
Corporation
and later for Jones &
Laughlin Steel. She ran a
kontometer machine for
which she took specialized education. When
she came to Canadohta
Lake for the summers,
Sally worked at the
gift shop at Canadohta
Lake Park, employed by
Hope and Max Lee. Mr.
Schramm was an insurance agent in the Pittsburgh area and would
come up on weekends.
When Bennett’s store
came up for sale, Mr.
Schramm purchased it
and Sally’s Place on the
Lake came into existence. Never ones to sit
still, all of the Schramms
kept bust. Sally and her
mother ran the store,
and Mr. Schramm used
his many talents doing
jobs for people at the
lake. Mrs. Schramm
was well-known for her
fudge, and even after all
these years, there are
still people coming into
the store and asking if
that home-made fudge is
still available.
Sally was an excellent
roller skater and competed in roller skating
dance competitions at
roller rinks at Canadohta
Lake and Meadville. She
also taught skating at
both venues. Sally says,
“I don’t think I wore
the same costume twice.
Every time I stepped
into the roller rink I
had a new costume. My
mother used to sew them
for me. She was an excellent seamstress.” She
had a signature move
while skating backwards
that she taught to her
students and allowed her
to win her competitions.
It was at the Canadohta
Roller Rink that Hope
Lee said to Bill Niggel,
“There’s someone you
should get to know.”
Fifty-three years later they were married.
Bill’s parents and Sally’s
parents both wintered in
the St. Petersburg area
of Florida, and as it
happened both families
lived in the same trailer
park.
As the adage goes, “Be-
hind every good woman
there’s a good man,”
Bill Niggel has been
Sally’s strength and
support throughout the
years. Bill was raised
in the Glenshaw area
of Pittsburgh and was
a draftsman. His family came to Canadohta
Lake when Bill was still
in elementary school.
They rented a cottage
on the hill in the Hawthorne-Elmwood area.
A few years later he and
his friends would camp
on the south and west
sides of the lake near
Gossard’s and Smith’s
stores. Later Bill’s
brother was building a
cottage at the intersection of Ridgewood Avenue and Circuit Drive,
and Bill’s father built
the house on Ridgewood
Avenue which Bill sold
after his marriage to Sally in 2003. Bill is a Marine and served during
the Second World War
in the Pacific theater. He
also worked with stained
glass and his designs are
legendary. He created
the “Sally’s Place” sign
which still hangs inside
the front door of the establishment.
These are wonderful
people, the kind we
would like to be. They
have been faithful to their
church, goods friends to
all who know them and
generous business persons in the community.
Three generations of
children have shopped
at Sally’s Place, looking
forward to the opening
of the store in the spring
when they could bring
those carefully saved
pennies, nickels and
dimes to their haven for
“penny” candy.
So, Sally, C.L.A.B.A.
salutes you and Bill for
your contributions to the
community and all the
fond memories you have
given us, our children
and our grandchildren.
A low power FM
(LPFM) radio station
serving
Canadohta
Lake has been approved by the Federal
Communications Commission.
The radio
station will broadcast
on 105.7 FM and will
have a coverage area
between three and five
miles from the station’s
antenna, which will be
located near Canadohta
Lake on Ash St. An internet audio stream of
the radio station is also
in the planning stages.
The radio station’s call
letters are WUUK-LP.
“In 2013, I learned the
FCC was opening a
rare filing window for
LPFM radio station applications to non-profit groups,” said Brian
Silvis, who started the
local radio effort. “I
knew we couldn’t let
this opportunity slip
by. The population of
Canadohta Lake is not
great enough to support
a full power commercial radio station but a
low power FM station
is very feasible. Low
power radio equipment
is much smaller and
less expensive than full
power equipment.”
On September 23, 2013
FM Radio Station Coming Soon
the Canadohta Community Radio Group was
formed as a Pennsylvania non-profit group to
apply for the radio station construction permit
and in 2014 the permit
was approved by the
FCC. The radio group
plans to start broadcasting during the summer
of 2015 if sufficient
funding is secured.
“There is a great need
for a direct line of
communication to residents and visitors of
Canadohta Lake and
this radio station will
fill that need.” said
Silvis, a part time
Canadohta resident and
former radio broadcaster. “The radio station
will inform folks about
events and activities at
the lake; provide information from government offices and
services in Bloomfield
township; and educate
the area on a variety of
local issues. Weekend
residents and visitors
will have the ability to
stream the radio station
online while at home to
learn about upcoming
events so they are prepared when they get to
the lake.”
The radio station is
non-commercial
and
non-profit which means
funding to construct and
operate the station must
come from community
support through fund
raisers, donations, business underwriting and
other sources. These
are the same funding
techniques used by
public radio and public
television stations like
WQLN in Erie.
“We are still in need
of some funding,” said
Silvis. “We only need
to purchase the FM
transmitter and antenna
to complete the project.
Once we have these
items test broadcasting
will begin immediately. Everything else is
in place.”
According to Silvis,
music and entertainment options for the
radio station have not
been determined yet but
the station does plan to
offer a variety of community based programming. “Some things we
have in mind are: coverage of local government meetings, broadcasts from area fund
raising events, boat
and water safety information, performances
by local musicians and
local church services.
These activities will require resources such as
equipment and labor so
the programming will
be dependent upon the
level of support we receive from the community,” Silvis said.
Tom Lavery, a Cochranton area resident
and supporter of the
radio station said, “As
a Crawford County resident and one who has
worked in both television and radio for 20
years, the news about a
planned low power FM
radio station that will
serve Canadohta Lake
is something that is
long overdue. WUUKLP 105.7 FM will be a
valuable resource that
those living in the area
and visitors will truly
embrace for updated
lake conditions as well
as events going on in
the area; not to mention great music that
you may not hear elsewhere on the dial. It’s
a great localized effort
that I am glad to be a
part of.”
Local businesses can
also benefit through the
underwriting of programming on WUUKLP.
Although advertisements are not
permitted on LPFM
radio stations, business
contributors to the radio station will receive
acknowledgments and
other exposure on the
FM broadcast and internet stream. There
are also incentives
available for individual

Day) and July 4th. A fishing license is not required
on these days; however,
all other regulations apply.
Consult the Fishing Summary book for the seasons’
sizes and creel limits for
specific fish.
• Each person on board
any boat must have a Coast
Guard approved wearable,
properly fitted personal
floatation device (PFD),
(aka life jacket/life preserver) on board.
• Additionally, a throwable
life preserver (seat cushion/ring buoy) is required
on boats 16 feet and over.
• Children 12-years-old
and under on boats 20 feet
and under in length must
wear a life jacket while underway.
• All motor boats (including electric motors) must
be registered as a motor
boat.
• Non-powered boats (including paddle boards)
using the PA Fish and
Boat Commission access
area must be registered as
non-powered, OR have a
PA Fish and Boat Commission use permit, OR have a
DCNR launch permit.
• Lights on all boats are required between sunset and
sunrise.
• A mechanical sound-producing device is required
on all boats. An athletic
whistle is acceptable.
• Paddle boards are considered boats. Life jackets
and a sound-producing device are required.
• Fire extinguishers are
required on boats: (1) that
have closed compartments
under thwarts and seats
where portable fuel tanks
may be stored; (2) double bottoms not sealed to
the hull or which are not
completely filled with floatation material; (3) closed
stowage compartments in
which combustible or flammable materials are stored;
(4) permanently installed
fuel tanks.
• Water skiing/tubing requires at least three people:
the operator of the boat, a
competent person in the
boat, and the person being
towed who is required to
wear a life jacket.
• Motors on boats at
Canadohta Lake are limited to 10 horsepower or
less.
• On pontoon boats, no
matter if going as slow as
the boat can go, or as fast
as the boat can go, no one
is permitted to be on the
bow outside the passenger
carrying area (the tall railing).
• Unless travelling as slow
as the boat can go (slow,
no wake speed), stay at
least 100 feet away from
docks, shoreline, swimmers, anchored or drifting
boats, and floats.
• Last, but certainly not
least, while alcohol is
permitted on boats at
Canadohta Lake, the oper-
ator of the boat cannot be
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Please have
a designated driver.
Hopefully this information
will be helpful. Again,
please refer to the Fishing and Boating Summary
books. If you see me or
any other officers on the
lake, please feel free to
call us over if you have any
questions. Have a fun and
safe summer.

Canadohta Lake
Lawn Tractor
Race
By: Ellie Baranyai Luba Donnell
Canadohta Lake has many neighborhoods, where neighbors are like family.
They all get together often, and create their own fun. I have been fortunate
enough to have lived in one. Boy, the stories I can tell and the ones I will not.
Labor Day weekend 2014 was the First Annual Canadohta Lake Lawn Tractor
Race among the neighbors in the Glenridge Dr. & Second Ave. area. The idea
was the brainstorm of Barkley Loughran. Barkley & Kim Loughran were the
officials, and clocked the time of each contestant. Many other neighbors and
friends were in attendance to cheer them on and a couple photographers were
present to document the occasion. As always fun was had by all!
Simple rules – Had to be an unmodified lawn tractor that had the mowing deck
attached. One Pace lap following the pace car (aka golf cart) driven by Bob
Kelly, then one lap around the block. Contestants were Bill Altman, Jim Donnell, Judy Kelly, John Leute, Jim Myers, Tony Vitril, and Tom Wilson. The
2014 winner was Jim Myers, he received the Wooden Tractor Trophy to sign
and hold until the next race.
Summer Love Continued...
Association of Professional Photographers.
In 1977 he was elected
the president of SNAP
(his PA license plate
is “SNAP1”). He had
applied with the Pennsylvania Photographers
Association;
however they would not take
him because he didn’t
make 100% of his income from photography.
Olen was a delegate for
two years; he then went
through all the chairs in
a five year span. He became the first photographer from Pennsylvania
to become President of
the State of New York
Professional Photographer Society in the history of New York. Olen
served as Chairman of
the Board on its Board
of Governor’s for nine
years, he still attends the
conventions, but not as
an officer anymore.
Olen is very proud that
he has received the National Title – he is the
only photographer in
Union City that has ever
received the award issued from New York
Photographers Association. He has won every
honor they have and has
a wall full of plaques;
they have both received
National Awards.
Sally ran quite a few
conventions for the officers as their chairman;
she had a friend that
helped with all the planning, decorating, and
menu selections. Most
the banquets were held
in the Catskills they
were big back then, 500
or more people would
stay and they would
maybe have over 1000
during the day, Now
with modern technology things have changed
so much they are small
maybe 50 people or so.
They both have said that
“New York has treated
us well”, Olen said ”He
has had a good life, and
is contented”. He has
recently taken his long
overdue retirement.
When asked about their
memories of Canadohta
Lake they said: They
remembered Bartlett’s
Donuts and pottery at the
bottom of Mable Street
on the Lakefront to the
left of Ruggles Park,
going to Wallworths’s
(Ethel’s Lakeview Inn)
on the other side of Ruggles Park, the garbage
man that came in a horse
drawn wagon to pick up
the trash at the cottages, a guy with a horse
and wagon selling sweet
corn, onions and other produce, there was a
woman who baked pies,
cookies, and cakes and
drove around the lake
selling them to people
in the cottages. The
ice wagon came with
ice everyone had “Ice
Boxes” back then, the
old cement Ice House
(still there as a cottage)
at the bottom of the hill
on Circuit Dr., when
Max Lee built the first
Miniature Golf Course
of the Lake at the Park,
the Park’s Amusement
Rides, Swimming at
Ruggles Park Beach,
Woods Bicycle Rentals,
Pop Cornish on his tractor whistling away every
morning, and how good
Cornish’s sweet corn
was.
Sally remembered after supper going
to Marcresan Beach to
get a Sundae or a Milkshake, playing Bingo at
the Bingo Hall, said she
feels bad that it’s not the
lake it used to be there is
not much like that to do
here now.
Seeing how the lake has
changed over the years
– there was just a handful of winter residents,
and now you go around
the lake and every other place is year round.
Many businesses have
come and gone. Sally
remembers Harry Newland sold off all of the
Park’s memorabilia and
rides and then the park
itself.
Thank You Olen and
Sally for sharing your
life with us, and all
you have done for the
Canadohta Lake area
community.
By Ann Bergheim
It’s hard to believe, but
another fun summer
has arrived! We’ve
already had our Easter Egg Hunt this year
and had a tremendous
turnout. Thank you
everyone for braving
the frigid temperatures
and collecting over
three thousand candy
filled eggs!
Our next event will be
our Community Fun
Day on June 28, 2015
from 1-5 pm at the
township ball fields.
We will have most
of our usual activities
which include our inflatable bouncy house
and other surprises.
We’ll also have pony
rides, Granny’s Ark
and a great selection
of fun activities on
that day. Stop down to
visit and enjoy the day
with our friends and
neighbors here at the
lake.
July 4th we will be
decorating bikes in
true style with our
usual patriotic theme
for our annual Bike
Parade. It sets off
from Elmwood Park
(free beach) at 11 am.
Please make sure you
get there a bit early
for the lineup and yes,
the whistles. Parents
are welcome to bring
their earplugs! We
will be escorted by
the Bloomfield Volunteer Firefighters and
our Canadohta Lake
Queens as we continue down Circuit Drive
to the Frog Pond Pavilions where the participants can enter the
drawing for free bikes
and enjoy lunch with
us. Hope to see you
all there.
Our other events will
include our Annual Pumpkin Hunt the
week before Halloween and Cookies with
Santa which happens
at the beginning of
December.
Thank you all for coming to our events and
a big shout out to the
great volunteers who
manage to put on wonderful events for large
crowds each time. We
are always happy to
have new faces who’d
like to help out and
even serve on the Recreation Board. Feel
free to stop by our
meetings on the second Wednesday of the
month at 6:30 in the
Bloomfield Township
all purpose room at
the fire hall/township
office.
Have a fantastic time
making memories at
the lake this summer
with us!

According to Silvis
there are about 1,000
LPFM radio stations
operating in the United States as a result of
the first filing window
in 2000. About 1,000
more are expected to
go live in the coming
months from the 2013
filing window. Two
LPFM radio stations
are currently operating
nearby. WXCS-LP in
Cambridge
Springs,
which broadcasts on
92.9 FM, offers bluegrass and blues music
as well as other community programming.
WFSN-LP in Union
City broadcasts on 96.7
FM and features children’s programming,
high school sports and
other community programming.
The current board members of the Canadohta
Community
Radio
Group are: Brian Silvis, president; Patricia
Keys, vice-president;
and Brian Blair, treasurer.

“If, for some reason,
we don’t get the radio
station on the air by
July 15 we will need to
apply for an extension
from the FCC. The
criteria for approving
extensions remains unclear so we are pushing
to beat the deadline and
not have to worry about
that,” Silvis said.

From The Office Of Building And Zoning,
Bloomfield Township
You must acquire Zoning and Building permits for the following in Bloomfield
Township:
All new construction
All remodeling that changes the structure / footprint of a building
All home additions including decks and storage buildings.
Permits are NOT required for routine maintenance or small repairs including roofing, siding and window/door replacement, as long as no change is made to the
building’s structure.
Zoning permits – Required before any construction can be done. After applying
for this permit the Zoning Officer will come out to your site, inspect the area and
let you know of any set-back requirements and/or restrictions.
Building permits – Required for any new construction and all remodeling that
changes the structure of a building. They are also required for any home additions,
decks and storage buildings. An inspector will visit the site through different stages
of construction to inspect that proper procedures are being followed.
Septic Permits – This permit is required for all property NOT on the Township
Sewage Lines. Before doing any new construction, you must first acquire this permit.
In addition to Bloomfield Township Building requirements, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), PA Department of Labor and Industry and the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have established new policies and procedures for construction and renovations in flood plain areas. What do these changes
mean for residents of Bloomfield Township? The following policies and procedures
may affect you:
Flood Plain Management: If you have a mortgage on your property and you are
in the flood plain area of Bloomfield Township (lake, inlet, stream) your mortgage
holder will require you to carry flood insurance. How do you know if you are in
the flood plain??
If, after a storm, you can’t tell where the lake ends and your yard begins; you might
be in the flood plain.
If ducks call your yard their summer home; you might be in the flood plain.
If you need a boat to get to your car; you might be in the flood plain.
But seriously, if you are on the water’s edge, you are in the flood plain. The distance away from the water’s edge varies by area. Living in the flood plain also affects your ability to do any new construction. Check with our office to see if you are
in the flood plain. There are currently over 320 homes/cottages and 5 commercial
businesses in the flood zone areas of Bloomfield Township.
Flood Plain Permit: Anyone wishing to do any work on property in the flood plain
MUST first obtain this permit in addition to the zoning and building permits listed
above. Please note that any changes to the building’s structure will require engineer/
architect drawings and seals.
Storm Water Management: Require property owners who are constructing new
homes or buildings create a holding area (tank or water garden) which will collect
storm/rain water allowing the water to slowly seep into the earth instead of running
