Yarr Mateys, It Was A Fine Treasure Hunt 2019 Aye, On Saturday, August 31 came one came all, dressed in their pirate finest! They painted beards, they swabbed the deck, wrote pirate ballads, taste tested eyeballs, walked the plank, solved the riddles and found treasures. Once again our shared feast took place, we thank Ralph and Marianne for hosting and to all volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you!
The winning team was the McGrath family. They sailed the 7 seas, solved pirate mysteries and totally dressed the part! Treasurer’s Report Cont’d from page 20….
Get Pumped
GIC’s and is recognized on an accrual basis. The GIC interest is shared on a weighted average basis between the general fund and the Catherine Rathbun Environmental Fund. The Catherine Rathbun Environmental fund grew by individual contributions of $1,470 ($820 in 2018) and allocated interest of $247 ($163 in 2018). Expenditures from this fund were for water quality testing in the amount of $1,305 ($0 in 2018) and was approved at the 2018 annual general meeting as required.
The pumper was not on the lake this year. Kawartha Utilities (KUC) will be putting together a list of cottages that would like to be pumped. Once they reach 13 cottages they will schedule the pumper to come to the lake. Please check the website for updates on the pumping schedule. To book a pumping, please contact KUC directly: telephone 1-705-654-4000 or email: kus@nexicom.net
The remaining unrestricted surplus of $32,097 is available for the general purposes of the association. Riddle Answer: Watermelons can be considered both a fruit and a vegetable. Those in the “it’s a vegetable” camp say so because watermelons belong to the cucumber family (also the pumpkin and squash family). However, botanists consider it a fruit because it grows from a seed.
In the meantime, we encourage everyone to have their systems checked, the LWCA website has instructions under the septic tab on how to do this yourself or you can contact Geoff at Citadel Home Inspections: telephone 1-613-334-9050 or email: citadelhomeinspections.ca Please check your system, a healthy septic keeps our lake clean, the lake trout depend on it!
