Any such machine must be electrically driven to avoid noise. No water pumps or devices are permitted. There are several good reasons for this regulation: 1 Safety- Ice that is weakened or open is a serious potential safety hazard to families, neighbors, and all members of the community that may wish to use the ice in the wintertime. I am sure that no member of LMCC would want to be even remotely connected with a winter accident on Lake Mohawk. 2 3 Liability- In addition to safety risks to persons there is the potential for liability both for property own- ers and the Country Club. An incident occurring after knowledge and warning could be difficult and costly to defend. Lake Quality- Our consultant from Princeton Hydro advises us that we need a significant winter period of ice with snow cover on it to help control weed pro- duction in the following growing season. Areas of open ice allow sunlight to reach the bottom of the lake through the winter and promote weed growth. 4 Winter Recreation- Many residents enjoy cross-country skiing, ice boating, ice-skating, and other winter activities on the lake. Areas of open ice interfere with the enjoyment and privileges of all LMCC residents. The regulation mentions two methods that can be used to protect the seawalls and structures in water lots. The permissible method is a bubbler system that introduces compressed air through small holes or slits in a submerged tube. The release of the compressed air prevents ice formation in the immediate vicinity of the perforations in the tubing. This method is highly effective over the range of weather conditions experienced in this area as well as in far colder regions. If used properly this method fully complies with all requirements of the regulation.

They live down the street... have for a long time, so I have heard. They are older, not outside much, but always seem friendly, wave as they walk by. Do not want to intrude. Wonder if they are ok on this 95 degree day? They must be, or we would have heard, wouldn’t we? Right? Rarely see other cars in their driveway or family, grandkids. If they needed help, wouldn’t they call someone? Hire someone?

The Papoose November 2014 • Please visit our new and improved website at www.lakemohawkcc.com 15 Center Section Ice Retardant Systems on As our summer season ends and we begin autumn, there will be some of our members and neighbors getting ready to prepare for the winter ice on the lake. Ice plays an important part of our lake quality. It also plays an important part of safety as well. Over the past few years, we have had some problems with members using unapproved ice retardant systems such as ice bubblers, “ice eaters” and ice fans. In order to clarify the use of these devices, we revisit some of our long standing Club regulations and articles over the past 25 years. of the lake through the winter and promote weed growth. Last winter, we had about 18 inch thickness of ice on the lake and this greatly reduced our weed growth this past summer. This also greatly reduced the algae bloom we experienced last year on the lake during the hot summer. The regulation regarding this issue is published in the Marine Rules and Regulations under Winter Activities. Bubbling machines “Bubbling machines are allowed along the sea walls and around individual boat dock pilings at a distance not to exceed 12 inches. Any such machine must be electronically driven to avoid noise. No water pumps or devices are permitted.” There are several important reasons for this regulation. 4. Wildlife Management: Large amounts of open water provide another place for the Canada geese to winter. These birds pose a serious threat to the lake’s water quality. 1. Safety: 5. Winter Recreation: Ice that is weakened or open is a serious potential safety hazard to families, neighbors and all members of the community that may wish to use the ice on the lake in the winter time. We are sure that no member of LMCC would want to be even remotely connected with a winter accident on Lake Mohawk. Many of our members and children enjoy cross country skiing, ice skating, hockey, ice boating and other winter activities on the lake. Areas of open ice interfere with the enjoyment and privileges of all LMCC members and residents. 2. Liability: In addition to safety risks to persons there is the potential for liability both for the property owners and the Country Club. An incident occurring after knowledge and warning could be difficult and costly to defend. 3. Lake Quality: Our lake management consultant (Princeton Hydro) advises us that we need a significant winter period of ice with snow cover on it to help control weed production in the following growing season. Areas of open ice allow sunlight to reach the bottom 16 The Papoose The regulation mentions two methods that can be used to protect the seawalls and structures in lakefront water lots. The permissible method is a bubbler system that introduces compressed air through small holes or slits in a submerged tube. The release of the compressed air prevents ice formation in the immediate vicinity of the perforations in the tubing. This method is highly effective over the range of weather conditions experienced in this area as well as in far colder regions. If used properly, this method November 2014 • Please visit our new and improved website at www.lakemohawkcc.com Center Section the Lake fully complies with all the requirements of the LMCC regulation. The non-permissible method consists of a submerged pump or propeller that lifts “warm” water from the bottom of the lake and directs it to the surface. Not only do these devices create uncontrollable areas of open ice, but the ice is weakened for several hundred feet extending beyond the open area. Sometimes these devices become dislodged and tip over on the bottom of the lake and then cause open channels of either weakened ice or open water across the lake. These devices are not permissible and are dangerous. Timing is everything in running any ice retardant system. Limit the time that the ice bubbler runs by using a timer and thermostat. The bubbler does not need to run all day. Usually 4 hours per day is sufficient, even on the coldest days of the season. There is also no need to have it run when temperatures are above freezing and ice cannot form. This saves you money and energy. Before the ice starts to melt, turn off your ice bubbler. Usually around the first week of March is good. This allows a thin sheet of ice to connect to your dock or seawall with the rest of the ice on the lake. The ice is too thin to cause any damage and the connection helps keep your dock and sea wall safe. Open water acts as a runway for thick ice sheets to be blown across and crash into your dock. Having your dock connected to the ice matrix protects it from moving ice sheets in open water areas. Keeping the ice bubbler going as the ice The Papoose melts and breaks up on the lake may make your dock a target for these ice flows. Due to the serious nature of ice safety for our lake, especially with non permissible devices, the Trustees of LMCC have implemented an inspection program. All ice retardant equipment must be inspected and approved by Marine Services before installation in the lake. Marine Services will monitor the performance of the bubblers during the winter season to ensure that they do not create open ice more than 12 inches from any dock. Installation of non-approved devices or persistent operation of a device in a non-compliant manner will result in the loss of all lake privileges for offending members. Since this regulation has been in effect for more than 25 years, there will be no exceptions for existing non-permissible devices. The Marine Services Committee would be pleased to provide assistance to property owners with questions regarding their present systems or with criteria and suggestions for future systems. Please do not hesitate to contact the LMCC office for additional information on permissible and nonpermissible equipment, for assistance with selection of permissible equipment and/or for inspection of existing facilities. — We thank you for your cooperation.

Ginna was born in Hoboken and lived in Cliffside Park before moving to Sussex County in 1975. Ginna received her B.A. from Farleigh Dickinson University and her masters as a reading specialist from Jersey City State College. Ginna taught in the Fredon School system but spent most of her teaching career at the Sparta Junior High School. Ginna was a consummate student of the importance of people and faith in life.

It is called TENGO. This exciting and fun to play game is the brain child of Clubmember Hugh Hauck. TENGO tournaments are two day events consisting of combined golf and tennis competitions. A TENGO tournament was held in September at Hidden Acres Golf Club and the Lake Mohawk Tennis Club. The participants were Clubmembers Tony Sigler, Rick Scotti, Tom Sudol and the organizer Hugh Hauck. The winner of the event was Rick Scotti and the runner-up was Hugh Hauck. The first of this two day event is golf (L to R) Tony Sigler, Tom Sudol, Hugh Hauck, Rick Scotti Give the Gift of Local History this Holiday Season! and the rules and scoring system are fairly simple. Four players take part and are made-up of two pair teams, the names are drawn out of a hat. Each player plays six holes after which the partners switch for the next six holes and switch again for the last six of the eighteen holes. This way all the players have a different partner for six holes and all players get to play with each other evening out any different levels of competence. For each hole won each partner is awarded two points. For a hole won at par three points accrue to each partner and if the hole is won with a birdie, four points are awarded each partner of the winning pair. At the end of the day all the points that each player has won are added up and recorded. The following day is the tennis event and the same pairings play three regular sets with a tie breaker at six all. As with the golf event the players switch partners after each set. The games won by each pair accrue as points for each individual player and are added up at the end of the third set, this is then added to the previous day’s golf score and the player with the highest total combined score is the winner. We plan to hold further competitions and it is our hope that other golf and tennis enthusiasts will sign up for future events at hhauck@century link .net.

The son of Jeffrey and Denise Panicucci, Dylan is a 2014 graduate of Sparta High School and is now in his first year of study at The United States Military Academy at West Point.

To earn the rank of Eagle, a scout must show leadership, service, outdoor skills, citizenship, character and personal fitness by earning at least twenty-one merit badges and he must complete a special community service Eagle project. Dylan’s Eagle Project was to build a concrete block lacrosse rebound wall at Station Park.

It has to do with mustaches and falls during the month of November, hence “Movember.” Started in Australia a number of years ago as a way to call attention and awareness to men’s health issues, men would shave off their mustaches and collect sponsors to benefit charities of their choice.

Trays of cheeses and potato salad will complement the offerings. Guitar music for your listening pleasure will be provided by a friend of the organization. Men and women attending will learn about a new documentary movie now being filmed called “Code 9, Officer Needs Assistance.” The film deals with dangerous situations police officers and first responders are often placed in on a daily basis, which can bring on PTSD, especially after years of keeping emotions in check under perilous conditions. Bob Cubby of Sparta, a retired Jersey City Police Captain who is featured in this movie, will be on hand at St. Moritz on November 2nd. Cubby has agreed to have his beard shaved and his long hair cut for this project. NAMI Sussex County, the recipient of funds to be raised, is part of NAMI NJ and NAMI National.

Top 5 Fall Home Cleaning Projects Now that fall has arrived, and you've officially put away your grill and cleared out that patio furniture, it is a great idea to clean for fall. The following article offers five tips for prepping your home for the fall season. 1. Wash your windows. Spring and summer may have left a film of pollen and other debris over your windows. Give them a rinse inside and outside to watch the leaves change through sparkling glass. 2. Clean chimney and flue. If you have a fireplace, you may already be stocking up on wood for those chilly fall nights. However, it is a good idea to hire someone to clean out your chimney and flue before lighting up, to rid your home of old 28 The Papoose ash and creosote that could be an irritant, and cause unwanted fires. 3. Have a dust party. During the winter months, we spend a lot more time indoors. To prep, give your home a good dust to rid your walls, baseboards and even your ceiling of pesky dust particles. 4. Update your window treatments. Swap those airy summer curtains for your heavier winter window garb. This will keep drafts at bay and help lend your home a cozy fall feeling. 5. Clean your oven. Fall and winter are for roasting and baking. Make sure your oven is in tip-top shape by giving it a good scrub. ~ Christine Dehnel November 2014 • Please visit our new and improved website at www.lakemohawkcc.com Community Affairs Lake Mohawk Golf Club Golf and social members celebrated Closing Day on September 27 with a brief meeting and vote before feasting on an outstanding brunch whipped up by Chef Doug Yovich and organized by Denny Kevil.
