Oh Oh Still.....bear sightings
Please Please Please. This is in your hands!
It Bears Repeating
Manage your Garbage
-
Keep your can next to your house and take it out to the curb after 12 noon on pick up days. Never, ever leave garbage by the curb overnight.
-
Garbage should not be put out on the curb on Shabbos, EVER
So what do we do when we see a bear?
Do:
- Use noise to scare bears away: Yell, clap, or bang anything immediately upon sighting a bear.
- Stay calm: Walk slowly and speak in a loud and calm voice.
- Leave slowly: Cautiously back away from the bear and leave the area.
Don't:
- Don’t panic. Most black bears prefer to avoid humans. Bears are more likely to be afraid of you than you are of them.
- Don't approach, surround, or corner a bear: Bears aggressively defend themselves when they feel threatened. Be especially cautious around cubs as mother bears are very protective.
- Don't run from a bear: They may chase.
Further Action:
- If a bear approaches you: Raise your arms and speak in a loud, calm voice while backing away.
- If a bear charges you: Stand your ground.
- If a bear follows you: Stand your ground. Intimidate it by making yourself look bigger by waving arms, clapping, shouting, or banging sticks. Prepare to fight.
- If a bear makes contact with you: Fight back with anything at hand (knife, stick, rock, or fists)

"Just The Facts, Ma'am"
Op Ed by your Editor
quote attributed to Sgt Joe Friday
A position on the BL Board is no frivolous post. The management of BL relies on the shoulders of the Board members. It's a year’s long role of board meetings, discussions, voting, research and development of protocols to keep this “gift” running. And I mean gift because this year, especially, was a test of the President and Board members’ ability to navigate the maze of conflicting information, conflicting requirements and nail-biting deadlines thrown at us by COVID-19, the CDC and NYS requirements. And yet, we were blessed to create a גן עדן for us and our children and grandchildren.
Who would want a role so daunting and wracked with anxiety? Who was prepared for this pandemic? Certainly not the Board! Most have day jobs, with long hours, that pays the mortgage or rent! Who needed/wanted to spend hours and hours reading medical findings and health requirements to obtain permits, not to mention listening to local and state daily briefings filled with what we didn’t yet know about the virus or when we could open for the summer season. Waiting for a date when the bungalows can be rented and the Day Camp started. Developing protocols, hiring extra staff for sanitization, staff and equipment for testing, developing guidelines for just trying to safely live here! Oh yes, they also pour over financial documents in small print.
Who wants this volunteer job? There’s no glamour or glory. No financial benefits or VIP seating at a Saturday night show. Board members are not your best friend….those serving on the Board are everyone’s best friend. They are on this Board because they want to make BL the best summer home we will ever have. Did I mention that it is our גן עדן?
Board members spend 3 hours, mid week, at times multiple times per month at night, at a Zoom board meeting. They volunteer for a committee chairmanship on top of that, just to ensure that each and every function of BL runs to everyone’s satisfaction. Board members can be seen patiently listening to complaints while they are trying to take a walk, sit at a show, eat a meal with their family, swim in the pool, daven in Shul, fish or lounge at the lake, sit on their deck, share a meal with friends.
So for those of you running for the Board, whether you win or not, יישר כחך
for your commitment to our members and to all of you who will be voting, please recognize and thank these dedicated individuals.

Apparently I do have to repeat myself!!
Recyclable boxes and the blue recycle cans have been found out on Sunday night....please, DON'T place them at the curb before 9am on Mondays. Plastic garbage bags have been found at the curbs before 12 noon. It makes our grounds look like dumps. President Harry is initiating a 'garbage patrol.' Any home or bungalow will be notified of violations.
