Greetings,
Please see the attached document from the Clifton-Fine Central School. A Capital Project will be put before the voters on March 17th. We wanted to notify the membership of the Cranberry Lake Boat Club of this upcoming vote as well as the details of the proposed capital project. The School Board has worked closely with the administration to put this project out for a vote. We believe that this project addresses key items at the school dealing with critical items that need attention. We are pleased that this will result in no increase in school taxes to the residents of the district.
I know that you send out newsletters to your membership and would appreciate it if you could share this with them.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I can be reached via e-mail (westbrook@esf.edu) or feel free to call me at 315-848-7270.

Subject: Please help the Cranberry Lake Fire Dept's effort to be able to provide a faster response time to an emergency at your residence in the Cranberry Lake Fire District
Friends & Neighbors,
In case you haven’t already heard, the Cranberry Lake Fire Dept., having on numerous occasions had difficulty locating a specific property when responding to an emergency, especially at night, are now offering a free reflective house numbering sign to all residents of our fire district! This project is being funded strictly from funds our volunteers have raised through fund raising events so that no taxpayer dollars are being used & should be a huge help in enabling us to provide a faster response time to emergencies, which can be the difference between life & death.
Please see this recent article in North Country Now News…
http://northcountrynow.com/news/cranberry-lake-fire-and-rescue-department-offering-free-house-numbering-signs-fire-district-res
Those of you with remote, boat access only properties, we are in the process of assigning “remote property #’s”, to be used on these signs at your docks, to help us when responding with the fire/rescue boat, so please also submit an application for your free sign. Those who have both boat & road access, we are offering an 2nd sign at a nominal cost, should you also wish to post same at your point of boat access, should your road be blocked & we have to respond by boat.
Attached is an application for your free sign. I encourage you to complete & return same to the fire hall or give to any of our volunteers & greatly appreciate your participation in this most worthwhile project.
Sincerely,
Bill White

Press Release on 2013 Poker Paddle Results
Via Email from Alfredo Guevara on 08/24/2013
In a meeting with me on August 18, 2013, the owner of the Cranberry Lake Lodge provided the following information with regard to operations at the Cranberry Lake Lodge and Marina:
· The CLBC member’s dock will close on the day after Columbus Day per the dock lease agreement with Cranberry Lake Marina.
· Cranberry Lake Marina will not be accepting boats for indoor or outdoor winter storage over this coming winter season for 2013-2014. The Marina can shrink wrap and winterize customer boats at Cranberry Lake Marina before October 21 (by reservation) for storage elsewhere. The Marina can identify some alternative storage options, by contacting Bill Smith, Marina Manager, at 848-2980.
· The extent of Lodge and Marina operations next year are under close review and are not yet determined. Some of the options under review would preclude the Lodge from hosting CLBC events. The Lodge has determined not to host the Annual Members’ meeting and reception next year. Accordingly, the Lodge is not able to make specific commitments for CLBC events at this time.
· Depending on the determination with regard to future operations, the dock previously leased to the Club for member use also may not available for lease.
I will provide more information on Lodge operations as it becomes available.
You may wish to send a note of encouragement to Scott Pickens, owner of the Lodge, showing your appreciation for the years of service that the Lodge has provided to the community and to our Boat Club, and our fervent hopes that the business will be able to continue. His email address is: cranberrylklodge@aol.com.

Subject: State of the State Presentation - March 13th in Wanakena
Greetings,
I am trying to get the word out as quickly as possible about an upcoming meeting on Wednesday, March 13th.
Governor Cuomo has been having a number of “road shows” throughout the state to present his State of the State highlights and his 2013-14 Budget Plan. One of these road shows is coming to Wanakena on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. in the Main Classroom at the Ranger School.
Deputy Secretary of State Dede Scozzafava will be making the presentation. As you know, Dede has been a great friend of the Clifton-Fine community and it would be nice to have a large group of people to welcome Dede as she makes this presentation. It is my understanding specifically told representatives of the Governor’s Office that she wanted one of the road show sessions held in the Clifton-Fine area.
I know some of you are out of the state right now but not only did I want to make you aware of this event, I was hoping that you could help spread the word by informing others who may be able to attend.
We hope you will consider attending this event. Refreshments will be served.
Please share this information with others who may be interested.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks.
Chris

The following is an email received from Laurie LaFrance updating the operation of Emporium.
Dear Boat Club,
Just to correct the statement about the emporium posted on the website.
The emporium is closing the store part of it's operations and this does also include the gas.
However, we do have our docks in and operational for our custormers, do plan to continue to sell and deliver propane. We plan to continue to service those camps up the lake we have always taken care of and we will also continue to bring supplies to those with needs in water acessable only camps as we have for the past 24 years.
I hope this helps clear up the misunderstandings and rumors in Cranberry Lake. Also I plan to be here all summer just in case you have heard differently .
Thank you for your years of service with the Emporium and I hope you can understand that it is not fesible for me to pay someone to keep the store open at this time.
We hope to better serve the lake by narrowing down our focuses.
Sincerly,
Laurie Lafrance
The Boat Club will have a new dock at the Cranberry Lake Lodge and during the transition members may park there until the dock is completed.
Email from Allen Splete on 05/22/2012
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON CRANBERRY LAKE BOAT SERVICES
As many of you may be are aware, the Emporium will not be providing fuel or services this summer. It is my understanding that persons storing their boats with the Emporium will be able to access their boats. Those in that situation need to contact the Emporium directly to make the necessary arrangements.
The Boat Club will have a dock at the Cranberry Lake Lodge this summer. During the transition time to construct a new dock, members may use the current dock facilities at the Lodge. Please be considerate in your use and do not park there all day or overnight. The Lodge has fuel pumps working, a boat that can be used to take supplies to water accessible only camps, and will be providing propane within the next few weeks as soon as hook ups can be arranged. There are no boat mechanic services currently available at the Lodge. If you have questions please contact Brian Bullard or leave a message at (315) 848-2980.
I hope this information is useful as you prepare to return to Cranberry Lake.

Good news on the Cell Tower. Chuck Yartz advised me that the APA approved the cell tower on April 19. Several boat club members wrote letters on short notice and it demonstrated strong support.
Conversations with the Narkewicz family indicate that a Memorial Service will be held for Dick on May 26th around 11 a.m. Plans are still tentative but this information should be helpful.
Thanks to all for getting your event notices into John and Sarge for posting. If you have items for our agenda at our first meeting on June 1 be sure to pass them along.
Email from Allen Splete on 04/11/2012
Chuck Yartz asked me yesterday for assistance in support of the cell tower at Cranberry Lake. Evidently the APA's Regulatory Committee is meeting on April 19 to evaluate the cell tower proposal. Chuck asked if I would encourage boat club members to support the cell and consider writing to the APA Regulatory Committee, Adirondack Park Agency, PO Box 99, Ray Brook, NY 12977. The tower is APA Project Number 2011-156 if you wish to make note of it in your correspondence.

Dear CLBC members,
As many of you know the CL Post Office is on the list to be considered for closure. On Oct. 15 the attached invitation for comments was placed in your PO box to be completed by Oct 25 when a meeting was held in CL with PO representatives. We have received permission for an extension to send the sheets back. They now must be postmarked no later than Nov. 4. If you participate, please note there are 2 sides to the comment sheet. They must be stapled together with your name, address and PO box number on each page. The reply should be mailed to: NADINE TREMBLAY, 30 KARNER ROAD, ALBANY, NY 12288-9992

Subject: Proposal to Close the Cranberry Lake Post
Office
On October 25 a public meeting was held at the Cranberry Lake Community Center to discuss a proposal to close the Cranberry Lake Post Office. A petition was circulated three weeks before and mailed before the meeting. In addition many of you may recall the notice in the Bargain Hunter requesting that you write our New State Senators and Representative with copies to the local offices. Many of you may have sent the letters and signed the petition. If you did not, I encourage you to write the legislators and take another action which is the subject of this message.
Given the fact that no mail regarding the attached questionnaire and comment sheet could be forwarded, it was impossible for many Boat Club members to provide that information. The forms were provided on October 15 allowing only ten days for completion if you were here and checked your post office box. At the public meeting I requested an extension of the deadline date of October 25 to allow more persons to reply. The Albany coordinator, Nadine Tremblay called me yesterday to formally approve an extension to allow more input.
If you have not filled out the questionnaire and provided comments, you must do so by November 4th and your reply must be postmarked no later than that date. The questionnaire is two sided and will require you to staple the pages together placing you name, address and post office box number is on each page--some pages have a space to do so. Just be sure that your name is on each page in your reply. reply. The personal comments section is important. Be sure to complete that as well and add to them on a separate page if you wish. Your input could make a real difference. Lots of community energy has been spent in an attempt to keep our Post Office. The Boat Club has played a major role and the more people who express an opinion the better. The extension period in making a reply allows for us to make more of our voices heard. Please act promptly on this request.
Once done please mail your reply to: NADINE TREMBLAY, 30 KARNER ROAD, ALBANY, NY 12288-9992
Thanks for your help.

I sent this thank you from Fred Guevara to the Bargain Hunter today.
From Fred Guevara, Chair of the the 5th Annual Cranberry Lake Poker Paddle. Saturday's paddle was a huge success, with 26 paddlers and 45 “virtual” paddlers. $1,175 was raised to benefit the Community Library. First prize went to Matt Benner, who paddled to all 10 docks, second prize to Evan McCoy who also paddled all 10 docks, and third prize to Carol Murray- another 10 dock paddler. There were three additional paddlers who went to all ten docks: Carla Marsh, Alicia Whitmore, and Kelly Mostyn.
Thank you to our sponsors who provided the prizes: Clifton-Fine Property Owner's Association, Wanakena General Store, Packbasket, Pinecone, Lakeside General Store, Cranberry Lake Lodge, Windfall, and co-chair Sue Wing.
Special thanks to the Cranberry Lake Lodge for hosting our event and providing space and refreshments for our paddlers. And, thanks to the dock sitters and dealers and to co-chair Sue Wing for her innovative ideas for this year's event.

On Saturday, July 16th, 13 creative cardboard boats were launched on Cranberry Lake for the 3rd annual cardboard boat race. This year's even included music by “Giant and the Green Foam” and an all afternoon concession and refreshment stand provided by the Cranberry Lake Lodge. New kayaks, canoes and boats were onsite for viewing, test driving and purchasing sponsored by Adirondack Lake and Trails Outfitters of Saranac Lake. Perfect weather, enthusiastic fans and creative entries resulted in a lot of fun. Watch for more details, but here are a few photos from the day.

A Reminder to Boat Club Members - The annual meeting of the Cranberry Lake Boat Club will take place on July 9 at 3:00 p.m at the Cranberry Lake Lodge. This will be followed by a reception at 4:30 p.m. and banquet at 6:00 p.m. at the Lodge.

Effective July 1, Kelly Smith, the Town of Clifton Highway Superintendent, has reopended limited parking behind the Community Center in Cranberry Lake. Orange cones outline a roadway that leads to the back parking lot where the boat trailers were previously parked. The front parking area, by the tennis courts, is still under construction.
Announcements from Allen Splete on June 2, 2011
Notes of Interest
Parking at the lot behind the Community Center is now restricted as blacktopping will be done to accommodate more vehicles and trailers at this location. Work is slated to begin on June 20 with the hope to reopen the area for parking before the 4th of July. Persons normally using this space will have to make other arrangements. It is suggested that they use the parking lot near the public launch site. Work dates may vary but you should be aware of this development as you plan your return.
There is a boat steward at the public launch site. His name is Eric Paul and he is part of an Adirondack Lakes project being conducted by Paul Smiths College. He will be talking with people about invasive species and noting boat conditions to increase public awareness of this concern. His hours will be 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m on Fridays through Tuesdays throughout the summer with a concentration in July and August. Please stop and say hello to Eric.
The Cranberry Lake Lodge now has a full time boat mechanic on duty. His name is David Martin and he is located in the building next to the large storage barn across from the Lodge.
The annual meeting of the boat club will take place on July 9th at 3:00 p.m. before the reception and annual banquet at the Cranberry Lake Lodge.
It is with great sadness that I report the passing of Bill Barrett on May 4, 2011 in North Carolina. Bill was a great friend to many in the Boat Club. If you wish to express your sympathy to his wife, please send your cards or notes to Margaret (Mickey) Barrett at One 6th Avenue, Southern Shores, NC 27949.

MARK YOUR SUMMER CALENDAR
Saturday, July 16, 2011, Cranberry Lake Lodge - Two Great Events:
The Annual Cranberry Lake Boat Show and Annual Card Board Boat Race will come together for the first time with music provided by “Giant and the Green Foam”, featuring Joe Thomas. There will be a concession stand provided all day by the Cranberry Lake Lodge, as well as canoes, kayaks, and boats on site for viewing, test driving and purchasing. We are also looking for individuals who would like to display their antique boats, canoes and motors. The day’s event is being sponsored by the Cranberry Lake Boat Club and the Cranberry Lake Lodge and is open to the public. Last year the card board boat race attracted over 300 people. Next year the challenge goes out for more card board boat entries. Some suggested competitors are: area churches with youth groups to challenge last year’s Presbyterian youth group winners; Clifton-Fine Central school grade challenges; possibly the Ranger School students vs. the ESF students; the Star Lake Protective Assn. vs. the Cranberry Lake Boat Club; and the local fire departments. The day’s activities will conclude with a boat parade around Cranberry Lake. Let’s make this an event to remember!
Interested in building a card board boat over the winter? Instructions and tips can be found on the following website: HYPERLINK "http://www.cranberrylakeboatclub.org" www.cranberrylakeboatclub.org Click on ‘Upcoming Events’. View last year’s race on the boat club’s facebook page. Prizes will be awarded for both antique boats and winners in the card board boat race. Questions and concerns can be addressed to Bob Raymo at HYPERLINK "mailto:raymo@northnet.org" raymo@northnet.org. The 2011 registration form will be on the website after the first of the year.
