Parents and Neighbors please be

understanding if the bus runs late

during snowy and icy days. I like

to be extra cautious with the kids

on the bus and with the icy

conditions. Dyke rd can be quite

a bear in the early morning hours.

On

cold days

when I

know the

kids are

taking a

few

seconds

longer

than normal to get out the door

into the cold I will wait for them

which can slow us down a bit. Be

aware that if there is a substitute

they will not know the usual

patterns and students.

Everyone bundle those kids up

and stay warm.

Winter Ice Safety

Thawing and refreezing can

weaken ice.

Pockets of air can form under the

flood control.

Ice seldom freezes uniformly.

The insulating effect of snow

slows down the freezing process.

Ice formed over flowing water and

currents is often dangerous.

Ice conditions can change within

a few feet because of currents or

proximity to shore.

Schools of fish moving warm

water up can open holes in the

ice.

4” of new clear ice is the minimum

thickness for travel on foot.

A minimum of five inches of ice

is recommended for safe

enjoyment of ice skating, ice

fishing, ice boating and

snowmobiling on state park

lakes. However, even if the ice is

several inches thick, ice-covered

water is never completely safe.

Septic Rules and Regulations

Maintenance Requirements:

5.) DIRECT DISCHARGE SYSTEMS: Such systems discharge

directly to the lake or to a stream feeding the lake and are typically

aerobic digestion vessels followed by other controlled and

instrumented steps of treatment. These require substantial

attention to detailed operating do’s and font’s, periodic

maintenance, and performance testing to insure continuous

effective treatment and controlled discharge quality. Special design

requirements are covered elsewhere in these regulations. Minimum

maintenance requirements are as follows:

A.) Owner shall maintain a standing maintenance contract with

a contractor approved by the CCHD. The contract shall include as a

minimum two full system inspections per year which verify digester

function as designed, instrumentation and alarm function, and

include provisions for solids pumped out and any other necessary

maintenance work.

B.) Owner shall submit copies of standing maintenance

contracts to LTPOA within 30 days of the date these regulations are

adopted by LTPOA and there after at the time the annula dues are

paid. This shall be in accordance with the state of Ohio EPA

requirements of annual filing to the Columbiana Board of Health.

C.) Owner shall submit written

reports covering maintenance

services performed, or require

that the contractor do so, to the

LTPOA secretary within 30 days

of any work being done or

sooner at the option of LTPOA.

Reports are to be in writing and

shall list what services were

There is no such thing as 100%

safe ice! Many factors affect the

strength of ice besides thickness.

We heard back ODNR (Ohio Department of Natural Resources) on our EAP (emergency action plan) and

Kendall Chadwick: Beach -

The Slide is in, we may be over budget slightly as there were some things that needed repaired before

installation. There are a few sharp spots on the slide that will need to be taken care of before the children

Lauren and George Tripson’s Secret Recipe Collection Lauren and George Tripson

The Holidays are over and visions of sugarplums are replaced by dreams of summer fun here at the Lake.

Since we have a few months before those dreams become reality, it’s a good time to sort through recipes and

bring some favorites to the front of the box, you know them, the ones that are tried and true … they are easy,

delicious, and allow us to spend more time outside fishing, swimming, floating or just enjoying the view from

the shore.

Two family recipe favorites that we want to share are Chicken Delight and Special Baked Beans. Chicken

Delight is a quick and easy dinner that reheats well (if there is ever any left over). Our Special Baked Beans

cook up nicely for a barbecue dinner and can easily be doubled if you’re going to a picnic or potluck. Although

there are many recipes out there for this loaded baked bean dish, rarely do we come home with any leftovers.

We hope you enjoy the recipes we’ve shared and see you soon around the Lake. George and Lauren Tripson
