A Message From The President
By the time you are reading this newsletter the lake clean-up for 2015 will be almost upon us. Mark your
calendars for April 25th. I hope that everyone who loves our lake, and is able, will participate in this year’s
clean-up. There are many ways you can participate without actually getting out on the lake to remove
trash, and a number of them can be accomplished prior to April 25th. I would encourage anyone who has
an interest in helping keep our lake beautiful to contact Barbara Dryer at 334/567-7551 to offer your
assistance. Let’s make 2015 another great year!
I would like to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to Charlie Rowe, our longtime
treasurer for the Lake Jordan HOBO Association, for his years of dedicated service. Charlie recently
approached me with his desire to step down as HOBO treasurer and I reluctantly agreed. Charlie has been
a great asset for this association and he will leave big shoes to fill! Fortunately for our association, a very
capable and qualified individual stepped forward to express his desire to serve as Treasurer. Tommy
Counts, a Titus side resident, will begin the transitioning process. I would encourage everyone to welcome
Tommy to the leadership team and to express their sincere appreciation to Charlie for his hard work these
many years. Thank you Charlie!
Finally, please put April 27, 2015 on your calendar as our next meeting date. I encourage everyone to
attend. The meeting will again be held at YMCA Camp Chandler starting at 7:00 pm with dinner served at
6:30 pm.

Local Residents Win Big!
An update to our previous article on local resident and wake-boarder extraordinaire, Tyler Royal:
Congratulations on winning big at the INT League’s Eastern Regional competition!
The INT League, known as the “Little League of Watersports,” was started in 1993 and is an
exciting league of wakeboarding, waterskiing, knee-boarding and wakeskating. The INT League is
known for turning recreational activities into a SPORT. The league was started in Washington
state with four events and has expanded into 27 states hosting over 250 events per year. The first
US Championships was hosted in Austin, Texas in 1998 with 330 competitors in 27 divisions.
These competitors had one thing in mind – to be crowned the INT League champion.
We are proud to report that Tyler was named National Champion in the INT Outlaw Division at the
leagues’ Eastern Regional competition held this past August on Lake Jewell in Florence, Alabama.
Because of this win, Tyler will move up to the Pro Division next year. Hannah Royal, Tyler’s
younger sister, was also named State Champion for her division. She placed 3 rd at Regionals and
6th Nationally in the Women’s Novice Division. Congrats to them both!

Are You Ready to Get Dirty?
Good! It’s that time of year again. Lake Jordan HOBO Association in conjunction
with Alabama Power’s “Renew Our Rivers – The Coosa” campaign is gearing up for
the annual Lake Jordan Clean-Up on Saturday, April 25, 2015.
The Clean-Up will start promptly at 8:00 AM from Bonner’s
Point. Alabama Power, Alabama Fish & Game, and
Elmore County Search & Rescue will again be providing
assistance with boats and bodies that help make this
event possible each year. Gloves and trash bags will also
be distributed by Alabama Power.
If you are interested in keeping Beautiful Lake Jordan
beautiful, WE NEED YOUR HELP! If you can provide a
boat or other tools to help gather trash, your participation
is crucial. Keep in mind, you do not have to be a HOBO
member to participate. If fact, we encourage you to invite your neighbors, friends,
church/community/social groups, etc. to roll-up their sleeves and volunteer for the
good of all who live and play on our lake.
As always, lunch will be provided to all workers. If you can’t physically help with the
Clean-Up, your donation of money or lunch items (hotdog/hamburger buns, cakes,
cookies, chips, drinks, etc.) to feed our volunteers would be greatly appreciated. If
you would like to help with the picnic lunch, contact Carla McCune at #569-9505.
To participate in the Clean-Up or for more information, please call Lake Clean-Up
Committee Chairman Barbara Dreyer at #567-7551 or bmdreyer@bellsouthnet.
All volunteers will receive a “Renew Our Rivers” t-shirt provided by Alabama Power.
Working together, we can make a huge difference in the quality of our lake and our
lake living!
Hope to see you April 25, 2015 – 8:00 AM at Bonner’s Point.

Prevent Deadly Shocks – Check Your Boats and Docks
If you own a boat and/or dock, take steps now to help prevent a tragedy. The Energy Education Council’s Safe
Electricity program advises, “Prevent deadly shocks. Check your boats and docks.”
In prior years there have been devastating accidents near boats and boat docks both locally and throughout the
country. In July of 2012, a 26 year-old woman was swimming with family in the Lake of the Ozarks and was
electrocuted when she touched an energized dock ladder. That same year, a 13 year-old girl and her 8 year-old
brother received fatal electrical shocks while swimming near a private dock on the very same lake. Officials cited an
improperly grounded circuit as the cause in both cases. In Tennessee, two boys, ages 10 and 11, lost their lives as
they were shocked while swimming between house boats on Cherokee Lake, a result of an on-board generator current
apparently entering the water through frayed wires beneath the boat.
An important step in helping prevent such tragedies is to ensure proper installation and maintenance of electrical
equipment on your docks and boats. Take the time now to inspect all of the electrical systems you own that are on or
near the water before Spring is upon us.
Safe Electricity, in partnership with the American Boat and Yacht Council (ABYC) and the International Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers/National Electrical Contractors Association recommend taking these steps before boating season
begins:
1)
At a minimum, all electrical installations should comply with article 553 (residential code) and 555
(commercial code) of the 2011 National Electrical Code which mandates a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFC) on all dock receptacles. A GFCI measures the current in a circuit. An imbalance
of that current, such as a discharge into the water, will trip the GFC and cut the power.
2) A GFC should be tested a least once a month or per the manufacturer’s specification. The GFCI
should be located somewhere along the ramp to the dock so it can be easily found and tested by local
fire departments as needed.
3) The metal frame of docks should “bonding jumpers” on them to connect all metal parts to a ground
rod on the shore. That will ensure any part of the metal dock that becomes energized because of
electrical malfunction will trip the GFCI or the circuit breaker.
Even if your dock’s electrical system has been installed by a licensed electrical contractor and inspected, neighboring
docks can still present a shock hazard. Ensure your neighbor’s dockside electrical system complies with the National
Electrical Code and has been inspected.
When it comes to your boat’s electrical system, particularly those with onboard generators, keep these tips in mind:
1) If you are unsure how to install something, do not call your neighbor/electrician friend. Call an
ABYC Electrical Certified Tech.
2) Household wire is not suitable for use on boats as houses are motionless and generally dry. Even
marine-rated wire that is not supported along its length will break with constant motion stress.
3) Do NOT use wire nuts or splice connectors. Wire nuts are for solid conductor wire, which should
never be on a boat, and splice connectors cut wire strands.
4) Fuses are rated to protect the wire, not the stereo. If a fuse blows continuously, it should NOT be
replaced with a larger one just to keep it from blowing again – something else is wrong.
5) Have your boat’s electrical system checked at least once a year or whenever something is added
or removed from their systems.
These helpful hints have been provided by the Energy Education Council.

Water Monitors Needed!
Water Monitors test physical and
chemical characteristics of the water to
determine pollution sources and long
term trends in water quality. Each
month monitors measure PH,
Hardness, Total Alkalinity, Air and
Water Temperature and Dissolved
Oxygen. Bacteria monitors detect
levels of E. Coli in the water to
Lake Jordan Homeowners and Boat Owners Association
determine if water is safe for drinking,
swimming and aquatic life.
If you are interested in being a water
monitor on Lake Jordan, call Judy May
at 334-567-7327 or email
at frudymay@elmore.rr.com. A
chemical monitoring class is scheduled
at her home Friday, April 24th.
Thank you, Judy May
Water Watch Chair

Homemade Girl Scout Cookies—Samoas
Bars
Source: Baking Bites
These homemade Girl Scout cookie Samoas Bars are the perfect
cookie substitute. So simple to make and packed full of coconut,
caramel, and chocolate flavor.






Cookie Base:
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt





Topping:
3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
12 ounces chewy caramels, unwrapped
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons whole milk
10 ounces dark chocolate chips
Source: Baking Bites
Using the spatula, spread topping into an even layer.
Let topping set until cooled.
When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a
pizza cutter (it’s easy to get it through the topping).
Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl.
Heat on high in the microwave in 45 second intervals,
stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching. Dip the base
of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean
piece of parchment or wax paper. Transfer all
remaining chocolate (or melt a bit of additional
chocolate, if necessary) into a piping bag or a ziploc
bag with the corner snipped off and drizzle bars with
chocolate to finish.
Let chocolate set completely before storing in an
airtight container.

Attention Readers
DIRECTIONS:
For cookie crust:
First, make the crust.
Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch
baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter, until
fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Working at a low
speed, gradually beat in flour and salt until mixture is
crumbly, like wet sand. The dough does not need to
come together. Pour crumbly dough into prepapred
pan and press into an even layer.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until base is set and edges
are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack
before topping.
For topping:
Preheat oven to 300. Spread coconut evenly on a
parchment-lined baking sheet (preferably one with
sides) and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes,
until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet, stirring
occasionally. Set aside.
Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwavesafe bowl with milk and salt. Cook on high for 3-4
minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the
caramel melt. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut
with a spatula.
Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base.

name to the monument at the Worship Area at
Bonner’s Point. Gerald recognized Peggy Young

Committee Reports
Lake Clean Up – Barbara Dreyer talked about this
year’s Annual Lake Clean Up scheduled for April
25, 2015. She reminded everyone to talk to their
neighbors and get them involved. If you are
interested in helping but don’t have a boat,
Barbara will find someone for you to ride with.
She talked about how great it would be to see
more young people on the lake volunteer to help.
Every year, several hundred people get out and
clean up Lake Jordan for all to enjoy. All workers
will enjoy a picnic lunch at Bonners and will be
given a free t-shirt. People are asked to bring
desserts to share with everyone. Barbara also
talked about the need for sponsors. $100 will get
your company name put on the back of the
Annual Lake Cleanup T-shirt. A volunteer sign up
list was circulated at the meeting. Please call
Barbara if you would like to volunteer, sponsor the
Clean Up, or if you have questions at 334 5677551.
Water Quality – A Water Testing Certification
Class is scheduled for April 24th at the home of
Judy May. It will start at 9am and end at 2pm and
lunch will be provided. There is a need for more
Page 7
people to volunteer to perform water testing. If
you are interested in attending the certification
class, please call Judy at 334 567-7327 or 334
399-8330.
Lake Safety – Dave Kowalski reminded everyone
to be sure to have all electrical outlets on docks
and located near the water GFI protected to avoid
the possibility of electrical shock drowning.
The Annual Fish Habitat Project to recycle
Christmas trees by placing them throughout the
Lake is scheduled for February 11th at 9am at
Bonners Point. Lunch will be provided by
Alabama Power.
Fireworks – Alan Williams reminded everyone to
please make a donation to the fireworks fund
when paying their yearly dues.
Membership – The HOBO Association is always
looking to increase its number of paid members
and Jacki Brown suggested possibly having a
membership drive at the Annual Lake Clean Up in
April. She also pointed out that often times dues
go unpaid because people just forget and, that
she could, with ease, generate a bill/reminder on
January 1st to be sent out to the membership.
The discussion then focused on the HOBO
newsletter and the fact that the number mailed
out each quarter far exceeds the number of paid
memberships. It is clear that the list needs to be
reviewed and updated. Jacki suggested the
option of sending the newsletter to only those who
are current on their yearly dues which would
hopefully encourage those who haven’t paid to do
so when they stop receiving it. Upon suggestion
by Wayne Turner, the matter was referred to the
Board for further discussion.
HOBO Newsletter – Marci Williams asked that all
items for inclusion in the next HOBO Newsletter
be in by March 1, 2015.
Publicity – Marci Williams talked about the
popularity of the “We Love our Lakes” yard signs
and put forth the idea of making and selling “We
Love our Lakes” t-shirts to generate money for the
fireworks fund. Gerald suggested that the idea
and the logistics of selling the t-shirts be taken up
for discussion by the Fireworks Committee.

Government Relations –Senator Clyde Chambliss
is tentatively scheduled to be at the April 2015
Quarterly Meeting to report on and answer
questions about the 2015 Legislative Session.
Grants – The Annual Fire Departments Grant
checks were presented during this meeting.
As a general reminder, anyone wishing to
advertise their business in the HOBO Newsletter
must be current on their membership dues.
Gerald recognized and thanked Judy May,
Barbara Dreyer and the Fireworks Committee, for
their hard work and their awesome contributions
to the HOBO Association and to Lake Jordan in
2014. He also introduced Luke Dooley, the new
Camp Director for Camp Chandler.
The $50 Raffle drawing was held.
Congratulations to the winner, Barbara Dreyer.
There being no further business, Gerald Hardy
adjourned the meeting. The next meeting will be
held on Monday, April 27th, 2015 at 7:00pm (6:30
