April 2015 HOBO NEWSLETTER P.O. Box 431·Wetumpka, AL 36092 HOBOs and Friends 2nd Quarter HOBO meeting Monday, April 27, 2015 Camp Chandler YMCA Camp—Lake Jordan Meeting at 7:00 p.m. Dinner at 6:30 A Message From The President By the time you are reading this newsletter the lake clean-up for 2015 will be almost upon us. Mark your calendars for April 25th. I hope that everyone who loves our lake, and is able, will participate in this year’s clean-up. There are many ways you can participate without actually getting out on the lake to remove trash, and a number of them can be accomplished prior to April 25th. I would encourage anyone who has an interest in helping keep our lake beautiful to contact Barbara Dryer at 334/567-7551 to offer your assistance. Let’s make 2015 another great year! I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to Charlie Rowe, our longtime treasurer for the Lake Jordan HOBO Association, for his years of dedicated service. Charlie recently approached me with his desire to step down as HOBO treasurer and I reluctantly agreed. Charlie has been a great asset for this association and he will leave big shoes to fill! Fortunately for our association, a very capable and qualified individual stepped forward to express his desire to serve as Treasurer. Tommy Counts, a Titus side resident, will begin the transitioning process. I would encourage everyone to welcome Tommy to the leadership team and to express their sincere appreciation to Charlie for his hard work these many years. Thank you Charlie! Finally, please put April 27, 2015 on your calendar as our next meeting date. I encourage everyone to attend. The meeting will again be held at YMCA Camp Chandler starting at 7:00 pm with dinner served at 6:30 pm. Gerald Lake Jordan Home Owners and Boat Owners Association Page 1 Local Residents Win Big! An update to our previous article on local resident and wake-boarder extraordinaire, Tyler Royal: Congratulations on winning big at the INT League’s Eastern Regional competition! The INT League, known as the “Little League of Watersports,” was started in 1993 and is an exciting league of wakeboarding, waterskiing, knee-boarding and wakeskating. The INT League is known for turning recreational activities into a SPORT. The league was started in Washington state with four events and has expanded into 27 states hosting over 250 events per year. The first US Championships was hosted in Austin, Texas in 1998 with 330 competitors in 27 divisions. These competitors had one thing in mind – to be crowned the INT League champion. We are proud to report that Tyler was named National Champion in the INT Outlaw Division at the leagues’ Eastern Regional competition held this past August on Lake Jewell in Florence, Alabama. Because of this win, Tyler will move up to the Pro Division next year. Hannah Royal, Tyler’s younger sister, was also named State Champion for her division. She placed 3 rd at Regionals and 6th Nationally in the Women’s Novice Division. Congrats to them both! Lake Jordan Homeowners and Boat Owners Association Page 2 Are You Ready to Get Dirty? Good! It’s that time of year again. Lake Jordan HOBO Association in conjunction with Alabama Power’s “Renew Our Rivers – The Coosa” campaign is gearing up for the annual Lake Jordan Clean-Up on Saturday, April 25, 2015. The Clean-Up will start promptly at 8:00 AM from Bonner’s Point. Alabama Power, Alabama Fish & Game, and Elmore County Search & Rescue will again be providing assistance with boats and bodies that help make this event possible each year. Gloves and trash bags will also be distributed by Alabama Power. If you are interested in keeping Beautiful Lake Jordan beautiful, WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you can provide a boat or other tools to help gather trash, your participation is crucial. Keep in mind, you do not have to be a HOBO member to participate. If fact, we encourage you to invite your neighbors, friends, church/community/social groups, etc. to roll-up their sleeves and volunteer for the good of all who live and play on our lake. As always, lunch will be provided to all workers. If you can’t physically help with the Clean-Up, your donation of money or lunch items (hotdog/hamburger buns, cakes, cookies, chips, drinks, etc.) to feed our volunteers would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to help with the picnic lunch, contact Carla McCune at #569-9505. To participate in the Clean-Up or for more information, please call Lake Clean-Up Committee Chairman Barbara Dreyer at #567-7551 or bmdreyer@bellsouthnet. All volunteers will receive a “Renew Our Rivers” t-shirt provided by Alabama Power. Working together, we can make a huge difference in the quality of our lake and our lake living! Hope to see you April 25, 2015 – 8:00 AM at Bonner’s Point. Lake Jordan Homeowners and Boat Owners Association Page 3 Prevent Deadly Shocks – Check Your Boats and Docks If you own a boat and/or dock, take steps now to help prevent a tragedy. The Energy Education Council’s Safe Electricity program advises, “Prevent deadly shocks. Check your boats and docks.” In prior years there have been devastating accidents near boats and boat docks both locally and throughout the country. In July of 2012, a 26 year-old woman was swimming with family in the Lake of the Ozarks and was electrocuted when she touched an energized dock ladder. That same year, a 13 year-old girl and her 8 year-old brother received fatal electrical shocks while swimming near a private dock on the very same lake. Officials cited an improperly grounded circuit as the cause in both cases. In Tennessee, two boys, ages 10 and 11, lost their lives as they were shocked while swimming between house boats on Cherokee Lake, a result of an on-board generator current apparently entering the water through frayed wires beneath the boat. An important step in helping prevent such tragedies is to ensure proper installation and maintenance of electrical equipment on your docks and boats. Take the time now to inspect all of the electrical systems you own that are on or near the water before Spring is upon us. Safe Electricity, in partnership with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers/National Electrical Contractors Association recommend taking these steps before boating season begins: 1) At a minimum, all electrical installations should comply with article 553 (residential code) and 555 (commercial code) of the 2011 National Electrical Code which mandates a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFC) on all dock receptacles. A GFCI measures the current in a circuit. An imbalance of that current, such as a discharge into the water, will trip the GFC and cut the power. 2) A GFC should be tested a least once a month or per the manufacturer’s specification. The GFCI should be located somewhere along the ramp to the dock so it can be easily found and tested by local fire departments as needed. 3) The metal frame of docks should “bonding jumpers” on them to connect all metal parts to a ground rod on the shore. That will ensure any part of the metal dock that becomes energized because of electrical malfunction will trip the GFCI or the circuit breaker. Even if your dock’s electrical system has been installed by a licensed electrical contractor and inspected, neighboring docks can still present a shock hazard. Ensure your neighbor’s dockside electrical system complies with the National Electrical Code and has been inspected. When it comes to your boat’s electrical system, particularly those with onboard generators, keep these tips in mind: 1) If you are unsure how to install something, do not call your neighbor/electrician friend. Call an ABYC Electrical Certified Tech. 2) Household wire is not suitable for use on boats as houses are motionless and generally dry. Even marine-rated wire that is not supported along its length will break with constant motion stress. 3) Do NOT use wire nuts or splice connectors. Wire nuts are for solid conductor wire, which should never be on a boat, and splice connectors cut wire strands. 4) Fuses are rated to protect the wire, not the stereo. If a fuse blows continuously, it should NOT be replaced with a larger one just to keep it from blowing again – something else is wrong. 5) Have your boat’s electrical system checked at least once a year or whenever something is added or removed from their systems. These helpful hints have been provided by the Energy Education Council. Lake Jordan Homeowners and Boat Owners Association Page 4 Message from the Vice President I am pleased to announce that we have two new Area Representatives. Wanda Williams, 775 Tarilton Rd. Titus, will be serving Area 5. This part of our lake has been vacant for a while. Barb Pribulick, 48 Ski Club Dr./ 240 Jasmine Ridge Rd. will be serving with Gerald Griffies in Area 8. If you are currently listed as an area representative, please confirm that you are willing and able to continue to serve by sending a note to me at [email protected] at your earliest convenience. We still need a volunteer for Area 10, covering from Funderburg Terrace subdivision to, but not including, the Shoal Creek area and there may be other areas where our representatives have moved or are otherwise unable to continue to serve. Look forward to seeing everyone on our beautiful lake soon. John Bush Water Monitors Needed! Water Monitors test physical and chemical characteristics of the water to determine pollution sources and long term trends in water quality. Each month monitors measure PH, Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Air and Water Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen. Bacteria monitors detect levels of E. Coli in the water to Lake Jordan Homeowners and Boat Owners Association determine if water is safe for drinking, swimming and aquatic life. If you are interested in being a water monitor on Lake Jordan, call Judy May at 334-567-7327 or email at [email protected]. A chemical monitoring class is scheduled at her home Friday, April 24th. Thank you, Judy May Water Watch Chair Christmas Tree Drop Thanks to everyone that helped out at the Annual Christmas Tree Drop sponsored by Alabama Power. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, made new friends, and also helped out the fish population of Lake Jordan. Alabama Power catered our lunch with Subway at the Slapout location. We are always looking for more volunteers Please consider joining us next year. Dave Kowalski, Safety Committee Chairman Page 5 Homemade Girl Scout Cookies—Samoas Bars Source: Baking Bites These homemade Girl Scout cookie Samoas Bars are the perfect cookie substitute. So simple to make and packed full of coconut, caramel, and chocolate flavor. Cookie Base: 1/2 cup sugar 3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 cups all purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt Topping: 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut 12 ounces chewy caramels, unwrapped 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt 3 tablespoons whole milk 10 ounces dark chocolate chips Source: Baking Bites Using the spatula, spread topping into an even layer. Let topping set until cooled. When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a pizza cutter (it’s easy to get it through the topping). Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl. Heat on high in the microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching. Dip the base of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of parchment or wax paper. Transfer all remaining chocolate (or melt a bit of additional chocolate, if necessary) into a piping bag or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off and drizzle bars with chocolate to finish. Let chocolate set completely before storing in an airtight container. Makes 30 bar cookies If you have a favorite recipe you’d like to share send it to Marci at [email protected] ! Attention Readers DIRECTIONS: For cookie crust: First, make the crust. Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Working at a low speed, gradually beat in flour and salt until mixture is crumbly, like wet sand. The dough does not need to come together. Pour crumbly dough into prepapred pan and press into an even layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until base is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack before topping. For topping: Preheat oven to 300. Spread coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet (preferably one with sides) and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside. Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwavesafe bowl with milk and salt. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut with a spatula. Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base.

Committee Reports Lake Clean Up – Barbara Dreyer talked about this year’s Annual Lake Clean Up scheduled for April 25, 2015. She reminded everyone to talk to their neighbors and get them involved. If you are interested in helping but don’t have a boat, Barbara will find someone for you to ride with. She talked about how great it would be to see more young people on the lake volunteer to help. Every year, several hundred people get out and clean up Lake Jordan for all to enjoy. All workers will enjoy a picnic lunch at Bonners and will be given a free t-shirt. People are asked to bring desserts to share with everyone. Barbara also talked about the need for sponsors. $100 will get your company name put on the back of the Annual Lake Cleanup T-shirt.

There is a need for more Page 7 people to volunteer to perform water testing. If you are interested in attending the certification class, please call Judy at 334 567-7327 or 334 399-8330. Lake Safety – Dave Kowalski reminded everyone to be sure to have all electrical outlets on docks and located near the water GFI protected to avoid the possibility of electrical shock drowning. The Annual Fish Habitat Project to recycle Christmas trees by placing them throughout the Lake is scheduled for February 11th at 9am at Bonners Point. Lunch will be provided by Alabama Power. Fireworks – Alan Williams reminded everyone to please make a donation to the fireworks fund when paying their yearly dues. Membership – The HOBO Association is always looking to increase its number of paid members and Jacki Brown suggested possibly having a membership drive at the Annual Lake Clean Up in April. She also pointed out that often times dues go unpaid because people just forget and, that she could, with ease, generate a bill/reminder on January 1st to be sent out to the membership. The discussion then focused on the HOBO newsletter and the fact that the number mailed out each quarter far exceeds the number of paid memberships. It is clear that the list needs to be reviewed and updated. Jacki suggested the option of sending the newsletter to only those who are current on their yearly dues which would hopefully encourage those who haven’t paid to do so when they stop receiving it. Upon suggestion by Wayne Turner, the matter was referred to the Board for further discussion. HOBO Newsletter – Marci Williams asked that all items for inclusion in the next HOBO Newsletter be in by March 1, 2015. Publicity – Marci Williams talked about the popularity of the “We Love our Lakes” yard signs and put forth the idea of making and selling “We Love our Lakes” t-shirts to generate money for the fireworks fund. Gerald suggested that the idea and the logistics of selling the t-shirts be taken up for discussion by the Fireworks Committee.
