A Note from our Treasurer
Roads Chair Tim Lucaks has been working hard to keep our roads in good condition. The work on the Elm Trail/Lake Trail West segment has been completed, as planned, and the hill at the Beach was also completed by taking advantage of the contractor’s availability while on site. The unexpected sinkhole at the bottom of Lake Trail East has been repaired, with some assistance from the Township. The Township will be repaving Bailey’s Mill Road later this year and will complete the repaving of the segment still open at that time. This unanticipated work has put us over our projected 2013 roads budget by approximately $25,000. Treasurer Bobbi Coulter is confident that this can be handled by making modest adjustments in our overall spending plans

Missing Your Boat? Beaches Chair Ruth Chaney notes that boats that have been removed from the beach will remain stored at the Clubhouse until next spring. Please check there if you discover your boat is missing. Any boat not claimed by spring will be disposed of. And please note that any boat stored at the beach must be identified with your name or it will be removed and disposed of.

A recent article in the New York Times reveals that farmers are concerned about damage to soil from use of the chemical glyphosate, marketed under the names Roundup and Buccaneer. Check out the link:
Please use such chemicals sparingly, if at all, to avoid contamination of our soil and our Lake water.

Great Swamp Connection
Our own Jane Kendall is on the Board of the Great Swamp Watershed Association. An upcoming project is to monitor the water quality of Primrose Brook below Bailey’s Mill Road and also possibly to check the inflow to our lagoon from upstream. We look forward to working with their Board to continue to ensure our Lake’s water quality.
