1. Don’t remove your winterclothing. Heavy clothes won’t drag youdown, but instead can trap air to providewarmth and flotation.
2. Turn toward the direction youcame. That’s probably the strongest ice.
3. Place your hands and arms onthe unbroken surface.This is where a pair of nails, sharpenedscrewdrivers or ice picks come in handy inproviding the extra traction you need to pullyourself up onto the ice.
4. Kick your feet and dig in yourice picks to work your way back onto thesolid ice. If your clothes have trapped a lot ofwater, you may have to lift yourself partiallyout of the water on your elbows to let the waterdrain before starting forward.
What if you fall in?5. Lie flat on the ice once you areout and roll away from the hole tokeep your weight spread out. This may helpprevent you from breaking through again.
6. Get to a warm, dry, shelteredarea and re-warm yourselfimmediately. In moderate to severecases of cold water hypothermia, you mustseek medical attention. Cold blood trapped inyour extremities can come rushing back toyour heart after you begin to re-warm. Theshock of the chilled blood may causeventricular fibrillation leading to a heartattack and death!
What should you do if you fallthrough the ice? First, try notto panic. This may be easiersaid than done, unless youhave worked out a survivalplan in advance. Readthrough these steps so thatyou can be prepared.

What if someone else falls through and you arethe only one around to help?First, call 911 for help. There is a good chancesomeone near you may be carrying a cell phone.
�! Keep your eyes on the area inwhich the person fell through.
�! Visually locate a landmarkdirectly behind the area wherethe person fell through. (This willassist first responders in attempting to locatethe best approach to the victims.)
Resist the urge to run up to the edge of thehole. This would most likely result in twovictims in the water. Also, do not risk your lifeto attempt to save a pet or other animal.
What if someone elsefalls in?
Preach, Reach, Throw,Row, Go…
PREACH Shout to the victim to encouragethem to fight to survive and reassure them thathelp is on the way.
REACH If you can safely reach the victim fromshore, extend an object such as a rope, ladder,or jumper cables to the victim. If the personstarts to pull you in, release your grip on theobject and start over.
THROW Toss one end of a rope or somethingthat will float to the victim. Have them tie therope around themselves before they are tooweakened by the cold to grasp it.
ROW Find a light boat to push across the iceahead of you. Push it to the edge of the hole,get into the boat and pull the victim in over thebow. It’s not a bad idea to attach some rope tothe boat, so others can help pull you and thevictim to safety.
GO A nonprofessional shouldn’t go out on theice to perform a rescue unless all other basicrescue techniques have been ruled out.
If the situation is too dangerous for you to perform the rescue, call911 for help and keep reassuring the victim that help is on theway and urge them to fight to survive. Heroics by wellmeaningbut untrained rescuers sometimes result in two deaths.

In recent years, the Club was unable todevelop an annual budget until well afterthe beginning of the budget year. This wasdue in part to the Club’s outdated andopaque financial reporting system.Anticipating major improvements from achange of the Club’s accountant and theadoption of a modern accounting system,at the beginning of 2014 the Board ofTrustees pledged that the Club’s annualoperating budget for 2015 would bedeveloped by Management and theFinance Committee and approved by theBoard before the end of 2014. I ampleased to report that this pledge hasbeen fulfilled.
The 2015 Budget approved by the Boardin early December is very similar to thepreliminary budget presented at theAnnual Meeting.
The following table summarizes the revenuebudget. The CY (Current Year) DelinquentAccounts budget is hopefully a “worst case”estimate: the improving economycombined with the flexible payment plansand faster collection processes adopted bythe Board and administered byManagement should result in many fewerdelinquencies. Similarly, the Recovery of PY(Prior Years) Delinquents is hopefully a“conservative” estimate that will besurpassed due to the aggressive collectionsprogram being conducted by the Club’smanagement and Counsel, includingplacing liens and foreclosing on seriouslydelinquent properties. Thus, there is somepotential “upside” in the revenue budget.

The following table summarizes theOperating Expense budget. The potential“upside” in the revenue budget could beimportant, because there is no room forany unbudgeted expenses in the 2015budget. Without better-than-budgetedrevenue, a serious storm or othersignificant unplanned expense wouldplace the balanced operating budgetat risk. The Finance Committee andManagement will therefore pay veryclose attention to the expenses andattempt to control them if it appears thatthey might exceed the budgeted amounts.That said, it will be challenging to reduceexpenses without adversely affectingthe Club’s essential operations.

The next table summarizes the total budget,in addition to the Operating Budget. TheClub receives substantial non-operatingrevenue from Registration Fees when aproperty changes hands (We are assumingthat 120 homes will be sold in 2015.) TheClub also receives revenue from specialassessments that are dedicated to specificpurposes, such as the West Shore gatesystem and the Upper Lake dam project.There are also miscellaneous revenues,such as from interest and dividends.
Since the Registration Fee income isdedicated to the Capital ImprovementFund, the transfer of that income to theFund is treated as an expense for purposesof the overall budget. Similarly, theassessments for the West Shore gate systemand the Upper Lake dam are transferred tofunds dedicated to those activities andtreated as expenses.
Lastly, the budgeted net income (profit)from the Club’s Food & Beverageoperations is added to the total budget. TheFood & Beverage net income is alsodedicated to the Capital ImprovementFund to ensure that there are sufficientfunds to pave roads, repair the Clubhouseand undertake other maintenance projectsthat were neglected during the years of theGreat Recession.
TOTAL BUDGET 2015SUMMARY BUDGET
Operating Revenue 3,051,715Special Assessments 118,000Registration Fees 360,000Other Income 14,000TOTAL REVENUE 3,543,715Operating Expenses 2,999,902Transfer to Capital Fund 360,000Transfers to Other Funds 183,500TOTAL EXPENSES 3,543,402NET ORDINARY INCOME 313F&B Net Income 143,319NET INCOME 143,632
The “Net Ordinary Income” line in the tableabove — only $313 — shows how tight thisbudget is. So, we will continually focus onexpense control and aggressively pursuethe relatively few property owners whoignore their financial obligations to theClub and thereby place an added burdenon their neighbors.

Enjoy the Spring Skiing !
Should I Sell My Home Now or Wait Until the Spring?Homeowners ask themselves many questions during the selling process. "How much will my home sell for?" "How much should I list my home for?" "Who should I select as a real estate agent to sell my home?""Is this a good time to be selling a home?" is also a very common question.There are many factors that need to be taken into consideration before deciding when to sell a home. Some homeowners believe selling a home during the fall or winter months is not a good idea and that the spring is the only time a house should be sold. This is the furthest from the truth. Certainly most real estate markets across the United States experience a "spring market" every year. There is no doubt that the "spring market" is a great time to be selling and buying real estate, however, the fall and winter seasons may be the best fit for you for many reasons.There are several reasons why choosing to sell your home now may be a better decision than waiting until the spring:Less CompetitionOne great reason to sell your home now and not wait until the spring market is there is sure to be less competition. The fewer number of comparable homes for sale, the greater the probability that a buyer will look at your home.Simply put, it’s supply and demand. If there are less homes for sale, there are less homes that a potential buyer can choose from, therefore increasing the demand for your home. Not only will less competition increase the probability for showings, but it will also increase the probability that an offer will be received and you will get the maximum amount of money for your home.Locally our Lake Front inventory is the lowest it's been in a decade. There are only 12 Lake Front homes available, prices ranging from $489,000 - $1,180,000. 2 more are currently Under Contract and a total of 12 have sold in the past 12 months.Serious Buyers Are Out ThereHomes are sold and bought 365 days a year, period! Many homeowners believe that buyers aren't out there during the fall and winter months. This simply is not the case. Serious buyers are always out there! Some buyers may stop their home search because it is the fall or winter, but serious buyers will continue to look at homes, no matter what time of year it is.The Best Agents Are Always Up To The ChallengeAny real estate agent who tells you that the fall or winter months are a bad time to sell is not someone you want selling your home! A great real estate agent will know how to adapt to the current season and market their listings to reflect that. A great real estate agent can make suggestions and give some of their tips on how to sell a home during the fall or winter seasons. If a real estate agent doesn't have any suggestions on making your home more desirable for the current season, you should be concerned about the creativity they are going to use when marketing your home.Quicker TransactionsRight now, there are fewer real estate transactions than there will be in the spring. The fewer number of transactions means the mortgage lenders have less loans to process, attorneys have less closings to do, and home inspectors have fewer inspections to do. All of these factors should lead to a quicker transaction and closing for all the parties involved. One of the most frustrating things for a seller to deal with while selling their home is not getting answers in a reasonable amount of time. A quicker transaction always makes the process smoother and less stressful.By considering all of the reasons above, you will be able to determine whether now is a good time to sell or if you should wait until the spring.If you would like more information about the local market, or are considering buying or selling a home, please contact me at (973) 219-2801, or email me at [email protected]

PLEASERemove all basketball posts located in the
road or road right-of-way. Any posts or back-boards left in these areas can produce damage
to the plow vehicles as well as the posts while performing
snow related duties. We cannot be responsible for
damage to the posts.
Bubbling Machines are allowed along seawallsand around individual boat dock pilings at a
distance not to exceed 12”. Any such machinemust be electrically driven to avoid noise. No
water pumps or devices are permitted.
There are several good reasons for this regulation:
1Safety- Ice that is weakened or open is a seri-ous potential safety hazard to families, neigh-
bors, and all members of the community that maywish to use the ice in the wintertime. I am surethat no member of LMCC would want to be evenremotely connected with a winter accident onLake Mohawk.
2 Liability- In addition to safety risks to per-sons there is the potential for liability both for
property owners and the Country Club. An inci-dent occur ring after knowledge and warningcould be difficult and costly to defend.
3 Lake Quality- Our consultant from PrincetonHydro advises us that we need a significant
winter period of ice with snow cover on it to helpcontrol weed production in the following grow ingseason. Areas of open ice allow sunlight to reachthe bottom of the lake through the winter and pro-mote weed growth.
4 Winter Recreation- Many residents enjoycross-country skiing, ice boating, ice-skating,
and other winter activities on the lake. Areas ofopen ice interfere with the enjoyment and privi-leges of all LMCC residents.
The regulation mentions two methods that can beused to protect the seawalls and structures inwater lots. The permissible method is a bubblersystem that introduces compressed air throughsmall holes or slits in a submerged tube. Therelease of the compressed air prevents ice for-mation in the immediate vicinity of the perfora-tions in the tubing. This method is highly effectiveover the range of weather conditions experiencedin this area as well as in far colder regions. Ifused properly this method fully complies with allrequirements of the regulation.
