ANCHORS FOR LIFE

Culver Lake is our little slice of heaven. How amazing it was to see the bald eagle swoop down in front

of our boat and pluck a fish out of the lake with his talons. That was a rare privilege. Then I saw two

bears on the Culver Lake golf course. Respectfully, I kept a safe distance. All around the lake children

are playing – swimming, biking, and laughing. There is a majestic health and wholeness to it all – a

peaceable kingdom of rest, relaxation and renewal.

We live in a noisy, turbulent world. It is difficult to watch the television news reports from Egypt, Syr-

ia, and Pakistan – just to name a few. I have been privileged to travel the world. What I have seen in

Asia and Africa, in Europe and Central America is the same – moms and dads who love their children

and want to put a roof over their heads, food in their bodies, education in their minds, and the oppor-

tunity for a future of peace and freedom. How blessed we are to live the U.S.A.

The great Danish theologian, Soren Kierkegaard, wrote, “Life must be lived forwards, but it can only be

understood backwards.” With age comes the deep appreciation of life’s simple gifts. Looking back we

realize how unimportant that new car was, or the expensive jewelry, or the new furniture. The true

treasures that remain are the memories of the good times together with family and friends – at a

place like Culver Lake. So go and make a treasured memory today!

Our summer fishing contest is now open. If you catch a lunker, you can weigh it in at Mike and Stephanie Liebl’s house or at Stokes Sport Shop. If you are weighing in a fish at the Liebls’ please call them between the hours of 9 am and 9 pm to see if you can stop by their house to weigh in. If you catch a large fish late at night, put it in a live well or on a stringer and weigh it in at a reasonable hour, after calling first. Please remember you must have a current member or guest badge to weigh in a fish. As of June 15, bass season has opened. While the Men’s Club prefers that all bass caught be returned to the lake, if you choose to keep a bass, it must be at least 12 inches long and no more than 5 per day. Please check the Normanoch News for upcoming game nights for the Men’s Club and Women’s Club on Tuesday evenings at 7 pm. Next game nights are scheduled for July 24, August 7 and 21. Come down to the club to play bridge or any other game you are interested in. This is a casual evening for Women’s Club and Men’s Club members and their guests. Bring your beverage of choice and enjoy a Culver Lake sunset while connecting with some of your neigh-bors over a friendly game or two. A great way to spend an even-ing.

RECEIPE CORNER

Kayaking

Kayaking has increased on our lake in the past few years. With the increase of these small enjoyable crafts also comes

increased safety concerns. Please be aware when you are out in your motorized boats that these smaller sailors are out

and about.

Kayakers—Here are some general safety tips to help make your outings safer: Always have a floatation devise with you.

Children under 12 years of age MUST be wearing an US Coast Guard approved Personal Floatation Devise. It’s also a

good idea for adults to wear them. Lead by Example!! Always let someone know that you are going out on the water.

When you buy your kayak and any gear, choose bright colors. Choose bright orange, yellow or bright green. Red and

dark green are not good at distances. If you have a kayak that blends in with the scenery think about adding a bright or-

ange flag to your kayak, or perhaps bright orange or fluorescent green reflective tape for your paddles. A whistle or air

horn on your kayak can be used to signal distress if an emergency arises. Watch where you cross the lake. Crossing

across the middle of the lake may seem like a good idea and save you some paddling, but remember that you may not be

seen by the larger boats, especially at sunset. Choose your course well and keep in mind visibility issues. Last, don’t for-

get the sunblock. We wouldn’t want your great day ruined by a bad burn. Enjoy yourselves on our big beautiful lake!!
