Welcome, Welcome
Manager Bob Swinton
Yes, Welcome to
our new CLCA Manager, Bob Swinton, the Board's unanimous choice among the
seven applicants for the position.
Bob comes to us after professional positions in various financial
institutions. For thirty years, property management and trust and estate
issues were his expertise. He and his wife are having a house built in
Pocono Woodlands, where they will soon be living with one son; another is in
Staten Island. His competence and geniality will be revealed to all who get
to know him. Try to meet him; he will be present and available at all Board
meetings. And those of you who find a need to visit the CLCA Office on some
Saturdays, say Hello and Welcome to Manager Bob.
Get Ready: New School Bus Lot is Ready (or soon will
be)
The permits were long delayed and the
confrontations with the Township were many, but past-Prez John Crerand and our
superb Maintenance staff have pulled it off. The new school bus parking lot,
weather permitting, will be completed in April. The present lot has been
extended and modified. The landscape area serves as the break between the
buses and the schoolchildren. Fences need to be put up to direct head-on
parking to the fence and new signage will direct traffic. Finally, an exit
gate for the buses is needed so that they avoid exiting through Conashaugh’s
gate. The wait has been frustrating, but the conclusion has been (will be) a
safe, considerable and needed addition to our community.
SEPTIC
MAINTENANCE SAVINGS: MAR. 19
Due to the
popularity of the previous discount septic maintenance program offered by
Earthcare in November and January, Earthcare has agreed to extend the program
once more to Saturday March 19, 2005.If you are interested in having your
septic system cleaned and maintained by Earthcare, contact the CLCA office in
person or by phone at (570) 686-4000 and mention that you would like to sign
up for septic maintenance on March 19, 2005.
If at least four CLCA households sign up, Earthcare is prepared to offer CLCA
customers a significant discount on that day.
If you have any questions regarding Earthcare’s septic maintenance programs or
the terms of their discount plan, call Earthcare directly at 1-800-428-6166
and ask to speak with Michael
Farruggia. Septic services are available in peak season (April thru August)
but the discount will not be offered during these months. If the septic
programs are successful, CLCA Strategic Planning will check out other discount
programs, such as propane, etc.
IN MEMORY OF GEORGE DAVENPORT
It is with great sadness we inform you
that George Davenport, a former resident of CLCA, has passed away. George and
Marie Davenport were very active in our community. George, for many years, was
our “head chef” at the grill at the annual CLCA picnics, rain or shine. He
always had a big smile and “hello” for everyone. Marie was an indispensable
and highly regarded welcome committee of one. We extend our thoughts and
heartfelt sympathy to Marie and her family in their time of sorrow. Those who
wish to may drop stamped condolence notes at the office and the Communications
Committee will address and send them on.
Parties,
Parties!! (and More)
Adult Christmas Party
Dec. 14th marked the Second Annual
Christmas Party. A good time was had by all! We dined on two3-foot hero
sandwiches provided by Ray & Charles’ Deli. We had salads, appetizers,
desserts and a birthday cake made by Doris Weifert to celebrate all who had
birthdays in December. Betty Pollack presided over our gift exchange, which
was fun and provided everyone with a lot of laughs!
Kids’ Activities
The Recreation Committee, under liaison Nancy Sanchez, has given the
youngsters of CLCA rousing fall and early winter spectacles. A hilariously
successful and well-attended Halloween party engaged the energy and emotions
of 40 active youngsters. Soft drinks & snacks flooded the decorated hall, and
ghosts flowed like the unearthly spirits they are. The costume ball was a
veritable Disney parade. A rousing Christmas party, though less attended--15
courageous bodies-- spread good cheer as if an army had invaded the Rec Bldg.
And the Teens Hang Out Night in January brought together a wild, but safe and
subdued group of CLCA teens for an evening they are sure to remember-- and
wish to have repeated. 35 sang and danced, ate and snacked.
The company revealed the best and the brightest of CLCA and reassured us of
the potential of our fine children. Tomorrow is in good hands. Help, guidance,
direction, and good cheer were provided by the following adults who deserve
our thanks: Carmen Cruz Ruth Milner, Jennifer Morgan, Rose Lopez, Clarissa
Medina, Madeline Cortez, Sarah Negron; and, to D.J. Cisco Morales and his son,
J.J., a special thank you for the music that happy feet danced to.
Notes and Noodlings: More Events
Watch for flyers and notices about the annual Easter Egg Hunt
for kids of all ages!!! It will be held Saturday, March 19...It is held in

Volunteers Needed for Teen Times
CLCA Recreation Committee is looking for some volunteers
to run a couple of tournaments for teens this summer.
A three-on-three basketball tournament ( for under 12 and over 12) is one
project that needs a couple of organizers and overseers. A fishing tournament
is another event needing leadership.
The idea is that the prizes would be awarded at the CLCA Annual Picnic August
28. f you can lend some leadership to either, call the office
at 686-4000 and leave your name. Sign-up sheets are also there for the teen
and “tween” participants . Both boys and girls are welcome in both
tournaments.
Pool Is Opening; Update Your Badges Now
The CLCA community pool will open
in early June. The hope is to staff it for weekends and open for the full
weeks as soon as possible.
We’re delighted to report that resident Linda Henry is back as Pool Manager!!
Linda managed the pool and staff for a number of years and many residents
enjoyed and appreciated her leadership at the summer center of activity.
Badges!!
Now is the time to get your CLCA badges updated for 2004 if you haven’t done
so already. You will need them to enter the pool and for other events around
Conashaugh Lakes.
Call the office to see if you or members of your family will need new photos
taken and make an appointment.
Flea Markets Are in May, July,
September
The first CLCA Flea Market of the
year will be Saturday and Sunday, May 29 and May 30, at the parking area at
the Front Gate.
Residents can bring their own tables and tents and set up allowing for
shopper parking. The May dates coincide with some other major Flea Markets on
Route 739, so we can look forward to heavy traffic.
Some of us are hoping the wonderful “cookie lady” returns this year. Someone
might want to set up a hot coffee stand if the weather is cold and wet, or an
iced tea stand if it’s hot!
Future Flea Market dates are July 3 and 4 and September 4 and 5.
Gather your wares. One person’s trash is another’s treasure.
Survey Coming for CLCA Future!
The next mailed edition of the official Conashaugh Courier will carry a survey
for property owners to complete. Please fill it out and mail it to the
Office: 4040 Conashaugh Lakes, Milford, PA 18337— or return it to the Office;
or to the red CLCA mailbox located outside the Office on the deck or at the
blue Matters mailbox at the post office boxes. The survey response is
essential for CLCA’s future.
April Security at the CLCA
Our usual safe community remained safe and quiet during
April. Other good news: We have a new Vector Security officer, Gerald
Thompson, whose reports reveal him to be alert and professional.
Vector Security has initiated a new form for its
officers, which lists all vehicles accessing CLCA property via the visitors'
gate: contractors, guests, property owners, and service persons.
The bad news: There is a vulgar kid at the school bus stop, whose name we all
know, who throws things at vehicles, has a dirty mouth, and is courageous at a
distance: i.e., a coward. If he persists in his uncivil actions, and provokes
more complaints from parents, we may shame him by printing his name and his
indecent activities.
Fair warning...
NO BIKES...
OR ANY OTHER WHEELS ON THE NEWLY RE-PAVED TENNIS AND
BASKETBALL COURTS. NEED WE SAY MORE?
Go-Cart , ATV Flags Are Ready
Seven-inch orange flags will be ready June 1. Free! Free!
Free!. Pick them up at the CLCA Office.
All CLCA owners-drivers of Go-Carts, Snowmobiles, and ATVs are required
to register their vehicles and install one flag to each vehicle. Each flag is
numbered to clearly identify the owner of the ATV, Snowmobile, or Go-Cart.
Coffee Klatch Continues
Much is consumed but much is not. Leftovers galore. Come
and get your sugar and camaraderie highs for the week. Meet your neighbors.
Chew the fat or the low carbs. See you there!
Second Tuesday, each month, 9 a.m. at the Rec. Building. All residents are
welcome.
Not Safe? Be Sorry!!!
Government and state statistics reported recently show
that the number of people killed or injured using all-terrain vehicles is
rising at an alarming rate. Parents of CLCA children should be frightened to
learn that the age group which has sustained more serious injury than
any other group, are children under 16 years of age. Some consumer advocates
are ready to call this increase in injuries and deaths a public health crisis.
Is your loving child riding an unregistered ATV? Is your child discarding his
helmet--if she wears one --that you bought to save her life?
Have you talked to the ATV rider in your home about safety and courtesy on the
roads of our community, and his? If not, why not?

is CLCA Pride Day, a chance to lend your hands to picking up litter and debris
from our roadsides.
Organized by Betty Pollock, volunteers will be given garbage bags to fill. They
can be left by the roadsides and the Maintenance guys will collect them for
disposal.
Betty suggests that this effort kick off CLCA Pride Week when residents assess
and clean up their own properties in preparation for the first 2004 Dumpster
Day, May 15. The monster Dumpsters will be at the Maintenance yard ready to
collect your debris.
DUMPSTER DAY is
May 15; Get Ready
Mark your
calendar: here’s an opportunity to dispose of all those items we are not
permitted to place in the normal compactor.
Even more importantly, it is the culmination of CLCA Pride Week, a chance to put
vour outdoor property in shape for the spring and summer seasons.
CLCA will look its best with Christmas decos taken down, accumulated winter (and
last fall’s?) debris picked up.
CLCA charges small fees for using the dumpster to offset the extra cost of
having this on-site service.
If you can’t make it to our on-site dumpster, Dingman Township is opening its
own Cleanup Day, May 8, 8 am to 1 pm at the Municipal Garage, 118 Fisher Lane.
They will take appliances, etc. Fees apply.
Kudos to Easter
Egg Hunt Organizers
Sincere thanks to
Alllie Ciampoli and her friends and parents for organizing the annual Easter Egg
Hunt at Seneca Lake April 4.
In spite of the
cold, drizzly weather, Allie’s crew set out 1500 colored eggs in four roped off
areas for various aged children from 0 to 12 to find. Finding glitter eggs
brought special prizes to the lucky ones.
The found colored plastic eggs were exchanged for —- you guessed it! Candy
treats!
The Easter Bunny was on hand to greet all the children ( we hear he had to add
some padding to keep warm during the damp chilly day). A great time was had by
all. Thank you, Allie!!
Unlicensed Old Cars Beware— Your Life Is Limited
Residents need to
know that having unlicensed autos in driveways and/or parked on CLCA properties
is a no-no. Time to clear them out before they are judged abandoned and towed
out.
Bats and rabies
information
Some time
ago, John McCauley, spurred by a family finding of two bats, gave us some
important information. Concerned about the potential for rabies when the bats
were found—one dead, one flying—the entire family was advised to be immunized.
John says he learned only a small percentage of bats carry the rabies pathogen
and non-bite occurrences are rare but do happen. If you find bats in your home,
and many of us do and will as the season warms, it’s always a good idea to
contact your doctor for advice.

Coffee Klatch
Continues
Much is consumed
but much is not. Leftovers galore. Come and get your sugar high for the week.
See you there! Second Tuesday, each month, 9 a.m. at the
Rec. Building. All residents are welcome.
Bowling, anyone?
The CLCA Adult
Group gets together every other Wednesday to bowl at the Wallenpaupack Bowling
Lanes in Hawley, followed by lunch at a local restaurant. The events chased away
the winter blues and will continue into the spring and maybe beyond.
Some of the group now have their own shoes and bowling balls...but that is not
required. Some come just for the conviviality and to cheer everyone on.
The group leaves
the Rec Hall parking lot at 10:30 am, carpooling when possible. If you are
interested in this activity or any others for the Adult Group, call Alba,
686-2217, or Lucille, 686-4584.
Go-Cart , ATV
Flags Will Be Ready
Seven-inch orange
flags have been ordered. All CLCA owners-drivers of Go-Carts, Snowmobiles, and
ATVs will be required to register their vehicles and install the flag to the
vehicle. Each flag will have a number; its purpose is to clearly identify the
owner of the ATV, Snowmobile, or Go-Cart. The flag will be free and
available at the Office early May.
CLCA's Rules &
Regulations -- see Article XII, pp. 12-14 in the Blue-Book --regarding ATVs
comply in great measure with the PA All-Terrain Vehicle Law. Of interest is the
web address:
www.dcnr.state.pa.us/snowmobile.

Pike County
AAA Transportation helps CLCA senior residents in need of a ride in-county or
out-of-county for reasonable rates, picking up at your door. Trips in-county

Notes and
Noodlings...
The Long Range
Planning Committee held a town meeting Saturday, April 17. Residents were
invited to list their Peeves and Needs. The CLCA committee’s efforts are
spearheaded by residents, Lisa Napolitano and Richard Calore. Thanks to them.
Some say this is the most popular committee with at least 8 folks gathering to
plan the town meeting and assess CLCA’s needs. The Town meeting was being held
as this edition of Matters went to press. Watch the Courier, the website and
other communication avenues for more information on this important endeavor.

The Easter Egg
Hunt is On!
Lepus Cuniculus ( a burrowing rodent of
the hare family): The Annual CLCA Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for Sunday, April
4 at 1 p.m. at the front lake lawn. (Note: Same day Daylight Savings Time

Thanks to Allie Ciampoli, who volunteered
to organize this landmark CLCA celebratory event!
We’re looking forward to meeting the Easter
Bunny and seeing who finds the most eggs.
New at the
Office…
LIZ CORASSCO.
Remember that name and, if you visit the CLCA Office, the lovely, friendly, and
personable young woman who belongs to that name.
Liz is our new administrative assistant. She was the unanimous choice of the
five-member Ad-Hoc Interview Committee, chosen from thirty applicants.
The Committee found her experience, personality, and learning quotient to be of
the highest order.
The next time you visit the CLCA Office, introduce yourself, say hello, and wish
her all the luck and patience she will need in one of the most challenging jobs
-- and yet the finest community -- in Pike County. (MS)
Strategic
Planning/Long Range Planning
Interested in
becoming a member of the CLCA's Strategic Planning/Long Range Planning
Committee? When you consider some of the issues that will challenge this

children, our roads, dues, the water table, and of course, dues—you can
understand how vital and necessary
this Committee is for the future of the community.
Do you have ideas for this Committee? Please attend the Town Hall/Open House
meeting at the Recreation Building. Come early.
Date: April 17, 2004.
Time: 11 to 1 p.m.
If you cannot
attend, and would like to be involved, contact the CLCA office-- 686-4000.
Leave your name and your suggestions. You will be contacted. (JMc, MS)

Trees and Stumps
and the PA DEP
Many residents have inquired, and have
registered dismay, over the tree stumps on the berm of the dam near the tennis
courts and the boat dock.
The downing of the trees was not a decision of the Board. The PA DEP required
(!) that all trees located on any dam berm be removed, including stumps, and
compacted earth replaced in order to prevent a dam breach. Our stumps will be
removed when weather permits.
Sad to admit but esthetics some times takes second place to the protection of
the environment. (MS)

Resumes
Much is consumed

See you there! Second Tuesday, each month, 9 a.m. at the

All residents are welcome
Boats, Canoes and
Other Watercraft...
It is necessary
for all members who have boats stored at the CLCA Boat Dock, to contact --
please-- the Office -- 686-4000 -- for an update on their registration and to
claim ownership. We at the Matters have been giving thought to an auction, a
contest, a lottery, or even the pillory or an inquisition for all unclaimed
boats and their neglectful members. (MS)
Flagging All
Go-Cart , etc. Owners:
Here is exciting news from the Security
Committee (N. Johnson, Liaison). Seven-inch orange flags have been ordered. All
CLCA owners-drivers of Go-Carts, Snowmobiles, and ATVs will be required to
register their vehicles and install the flag to the vehicle. Each flag will
have a number; its purpose is to clearly identify the owner of the ATV,
Snowmobile, or Go-Cart. The flag will be free.

Notes and
Noodlings...
Chris Russell has been appointed to the
Board, filling a seat vacated by Craig Henry. Chris has previously served on
the Board and we are lucky to have his expertise.
