President’s Message
The 2011-2012 Lake Seneca fiscal year has been a difficult year in many respects, but the Lake has pulled through
thanks to the office (Carol Swiatkowski), the many volunteers with their talents and service to the Lake and the
tremendous efforts by several trustees, notably James Delcamp, Mark and Sue Shenkel, and John Halderman. As a
board, we are fortunate to have been building on the healthy budgeting and administrative processes created by
Lynn Elston, Janice Bilton and Ron Park, among others. We also are fortunate to continue to have the support of the
Beautification, Craft, Recreation and Social Committees, not to mention the Road committee.
In terms of the mechanics of the Lake, the big events have been rebuilding of a 1 mile section of Seneca Drive,
replacement of one of several needed culvert pipes, and replacement of the barriers over the bridge. The volunteers
have kept up with the mowing and a lot of work on the roads, beach and docks, as well as with dirt sales.
But the fact is that the Lake is going downhill and will continue to do so. There is a simple reason: not enough
money. The good news in this regard is that James Delcamp has arranged a better process for encouraging Lake
Members to catch up with overdue payments. But even if we bring up to date all dues, the ongoing amount is
insufficient to maintain, let alone improve the lake. The result is going to be a steady decay of lake property values
relative to where they could be if we brought the lake to resort standards.
We overspent income by about $10,000 last year and have budgeted 2012-2013 to make that up. What have we not
budgeted for 2012-2013?
Dredging
Mosquito spraying
Road reconstruction in 2012-2013
Security
What do I predict for the future with current revenue levels, assuming improved collections from overdue members?
No dredging
No mosquito spraying
No security
1 mile road reconstructed in 2013-2014
1 mile road reconstructed in 2015-2016
New roof for the lodge
If we wish to reverse the deterioration of the Lake as a resort property we need not only keep up what has been built
in the past, but add to the Lake assets, by generating and completing new projects such as a swinging bridge across
the river below the dam for walkers with room to walk bicycles so members and their kids could walk and cycle
around the lake, a marina that functions as a convenient water access and social center which would attract more
people to build on off Lake lots, a sewage system to make it possible to build nice houses on small lots, on and off
the Lake, and a decent security system (gated community). The current board works hard simply keeping up with
basics, but does not have the energy to lead major new projects. What is needed now is enough new revenue to
finish the roads in a reasonable time and hire a lake manager to handle the basics. That would be about $500 more
per member per year of which $200 (on top of the current $100) would go to the roads to build a mile a year, and
$300 would go for a Lake manager and the costs of resuming dredging and catching up on maintenance, like culvert
replacement. That would put the Lake in shape to move forward on bigger projects once the dam is paid off.

Vice President/Maintenance
As I was saying, since returning to the board in August, a number of things have happened. The damaged
portals at the bridge have been rebuilt. (They still need signage to I.D. them)
We now have only one trash source which should help with wear and tear on the roads plus save each
member a couple bucks. What you actually receive from Allied Waste is your trash container, pickup on
Monday each week, plus the first Monday of each month is Large Pick Up day. Just sit it out and they
will take it. At spring clean-up on May 19th, a large roll-off container will be placed at the lodge for the
community to use for the day(at no charge).
Most all the equipment has had its repair or service work completed and is ready to be used for whatever
work needs to be performed around the lake and there’s always plenty of that from roads, to pumps or
mowing. The work seems endless, but there are a bunch of dedicated volunteers without whose help, none
of the work for the community would be done and saying thank you will never be enough for what they
do. A lot has been done over the last year, but as always, there’s even more to do.

Secretary/Buildings & Grounds
Winter is almost over and it is one of the best winters I have ever had.
Not much going on with the gas prices and building material so high. Homes are not selling right now, but hopefully
as the weather improves, the housing market will improve also. Have issued only one building permit for
remodeling. It’s been very slow. Sent letters to a few homes about cleaning up their yards.

Lake, Dam & Waste Water
Monthly inspections indicate the dam is holding up well. Water quality was good last summer. Main 2012-2013
project is to remove rocks from the flip bucket (channel below the dam).
David Deubner
*******************
Dredge & Crane
Dredging has ceased and will not continue this summer without funds being budgeted by the board. I am
disappointed as we can find funds to mow grass and work on the roads along with other monies spent, but not
maintain our lake. Our property values are based on having the lake and the recreational aspects that it provides. A
dues increase is needed and should be presented to the membership so we can maintain the lake. Some of the winter
repair work has been done to the dredge, but is not proceeding very well.
We should be able to clean the river out, as we have funds that were set aside from the sale of the dragline, and the
money was designated by the board to be set aside to clean the river with a long reach excavator.
Thank You,
John Halderman
####################
Security
I look forward to serving the community in the next year. I believe when we show respect we gain respect. The
number one issue I hear in regards to security is the ―4 – wheeler ―problems. A handful of people have done
destruction to the Nature preserve and tree farm, among other violations. These people are from the lake and off the
lake. A petition was turned in for a vote to ban 3 & 4 wheelers, dirt bikes & go carts. This does not affect golf carts
and UTV’s. A vote will be taken at the annual meeting in regards to this. Please vote one way or the other so we
know what the majority of the community wants. An insert on the proposal is in the newsletter.
The boat launch is another hot issue. Non-members and members not in good standing continue to use the lake at the
cost of the members in good standing. You know who you are! It seems the only way to police this are the members
in good standing. Let these people know how you feel. Report these violators so they can be dealt with accordingly.
In the fall we will vote for a new Sheriff. Please vote! With a new Sheriff come changes. I will support whoever is
elected. I want to thank Sheriff Beck for his support on various matters. The Sheriff and Deputies do support the
Board and members as far as the rules and by-laws let them.
Thank You,

LSPOA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING
MAY 20, 2012

SIGN IN STARTS AT 1:00 PM
BALLOT DEADLINE 2:00 PM
Beautification Report
What is the Beautification Committee and what does it do? We are a dedicated group of Lake Seneca residence who
strive to keep our lake attractive by preserving the natural beauty and enhancing areas with trees and plants. Many of
the trees planted are memorials donated by loved family members or friends. We care for the Thunderbird sign,
guard shack, bridge by the Thunderbird, lodge and all the small thunderbird signs at the access lots and kiddy pond.
We plant and care for flowers and trees at many areas of our lake. In order to do this, we must make money. Our
biggest fundraiser has always been serving food during our annual garage sale, which will be held on June 30, 2012.
We ask each person having a sale to donate $5 so we can cover the cost of advertising. We also ask everyone to
donate some baked items as that is 100% profit for us. You have never let us down. Thank you! We also sell
Thunderbird yard signs for $30 which are now being made by Jim Hulisz and painted by Joe Nell Beggs. Another
money-maker is selling Lake Seneca shirts and hats. We are investigating adding coffee cups. The Lake pays us
monthly for cleaning the lodge several times each month. In addition to purchasing plants, trees and mulch, here are
some things we have done in the past two years:
Had all the trees at the main entrance professionally trimmed and fertilized at a cost of $909.50.
Had the trees at the Tass entrance trimmed for $312.
Purchased 2 roasters for the lodge for $80.
We donated cookies for the annual meeting.
We purchased a printer for the office.
Split the cost of the new propane tank for the lodge with the Lake so that the Lake could own their own tank and
shop around for the best price for gas.
We painted the inside of the lodge, bought new shades and put a new floor in the kitchen.
We have plans for completing an area in front of the lodge with paving stones and benches. We would also like to
redo the woman’s restroom.
Now for the ―begging‖ part, our group usually numbers 5 to 7 members and we are all over 65 years of age. We are
desperate for more members and helpers. We realize that everyone is busy, but if each person would donate 5 hours
a year to help complete needed work, we could survive. We meet on the second Monday at the Lodge at 7:00 pm.
We are posting a list of jobs in the office and the lobby (always open). Please pick something to do. Our clean up
day for the Lake is May 19th from 9-11. We will have a dumpster at the lodge to help clean up and a list of things
that can go in the dumpster will be posted. If you cannot work that day, choose a day that is good for you. We would
love the work to be done by the 19th as our annual meeting is the 20th and we would like our lake community to
show our pride in living here. The Beautification Committee would like to thank our board for all the volunteer
services they do. We would also thank those members that cut grass, plow snow, and help with any other jobs
needed to make us all safe.
William Penn said, ―I expect to pass through life but once. If, therefore, there can be any kindness I can show, or any
good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now…as I shall not pass this way again.‖
Thank you!

Krafters Klub
Attention to all crafters! Our LSPOA Kraft Klub has been together for about a year and a half now and we are still a
very small group. We're sure there has to be more members here at the lake that would like to share their talents with
us! Please let us know if you are interested and a day and time that would be good for you. We will try to
accommodate all those who want to come. We have a lot of fun and we are trying to sell our crafts to help with
things needed here at our lake. You can call Nancy Elson 419 485 0432, Joe Nell Beggs 419 485 4725 or Pam
Sheets 419 485 9129 for any more information you may need. Thank you in advance!

Recreation Committee
The ―Rec‖ committee members are taking a break from the activities until the rest of their members come back from
Florida. In the past we have had dances, pancake & sausage breakfasts and dinners, taco nights, cards, poker runs,
volleyball, horseshoes, golf tournament, hog-roast dinners, chili cook-off, luau at the beach, etc. The Rec committee
also sponsored Easter functions and Halloween functions every year for the kids at no charge to anyone except the
Rec Committee and its members. This included hot dogs, chips and a drink for the kids (and some parents too).
The Rec committee purchased the microwave and two white round tables for the lodge.
During our first few years of operation, we had numerous people who helped with all of these activities. Everyone
was excited to have fun things going on again at Lake Seneca. We are now looking for more volunteers who want to
help and also looking for new event ideas. We did have a fun-filled night on New Year’s Eve. Thanks to all who
attended.
We now have $459.58 in the checking account (operating fund) and $2,336.57 in savings for a project.
We want to thank everyone who supports the Recreation Committee and hope we can continue with the fun-filled
activities that we all enjoy.
Thank you!
*******************
Social Activities Committee
As of February 29, 2012 we have on deposit $916.33. We are hard at it planning fun activities for the year. Our
committee meets at 7:00 P.M. the 2nd Wednesday of each month at the Lodge and we are always looking for
volunteers and new ideas. Please join us. The following are activities for this year. Dates and times may change. We
may have additional activities. We also post our meetings and functions on the entrance boards to the lake and on

I am an open minded person. My background gives me experience dealing with service, billing and collections and
operating a budget. At this time with a struggling job market and people retired, we need to operate within our
means. We need to problem solve and learn how to function effectively and efficiently. I can be an asset to the board
to accomplish this task.
I am a graduate from Davis and Elkins College 1978 with a BS in Education. I’m married to my wife Karen for 29
years. We have two great kids, a son Jacob 25 and daughter Danielle 24. I am retired and live at 538 Seneca Drive in
which I enjoy each and every day. Lake Seneca is a great place to live and we enjoy neighbors and friends that stop
by to visit and go fishing. I’m also an active member at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Montpelier.
City of Sylvania (Division of Utilities)
 Retired after 33 years of service. Office Manager the last 6 years working with office personnel,
billing and collection, all permits and service to Sylvania’s 9000 water/sewer customers. Prior to
that, I managed the service department for 27 years. Upgraded the city to a fixed meter reading
system that would read all the water meters electronically therefore enabling city employees to be
used more efficiently. The city then was able to do monthly billing utilizing a bar code system to
process payment to become more effective. Collections of monies monthly cut down on
delinquency and brought revenue in quicker to sustain financial stability. I worked in the office to
trim waste and operate more effectively. I was always aware that I was working for the good of
the taxpayers of Sylvania.
Part Pay Fire Fighter Sylvania Township
 Fire Fighter/EMT for 28 years with the Sylvania Township. Volunteered and also worked part
time to help the Fire Department function within their department budgets. Worked with others

Proposed changes to the By-Laws
To be voted on at the Annual Membership Meeting on May 20, 2012:
Proposed Revision to By-Laws under Article 6-B – OFFICERS and DUTIES
EXISTING:
B. Election & Term
The Officers of the Association shall be elected, in a meeting of the Board of Trustees,
from time to time, to serve until the Board of Trustees, elect their successors.
REVISION REQUESTED:
B. Nomination, Election & Term The Officers of the Association shall be elected at an annual meeting and serve a
two (2) year term. At the end of their term, his/her successor will be elected at the following annual meeting.
1.)
An Officer shall be a member in good standing of the Association.
2.)
The nomination and election of Officers will be handled in the same manner as, but prior to, the
election of the board.
The reason for requesting this revision is so we, the members, will have more of a say on who the Association
Officers will be. This will eliminate the burden of a Board Trustee being assigned an officer position and might
encourage more members to want to participate as board trustees.

Marjorie “Marge” L. Bavin
Dec. 19, 1922 - Feb. 25, 2012
Many of Lake Seneca’s older residents knew Marge Bavin and her sisters Marie and Donna. They were at every
Lake function taking pictures and playing with the children. Marge then took the pictures and put them into
scrapbooks to preserve those memories when she worked in the Lake Seneca Office. Those who played Bunco
remember Marie’s ―slow‖ throw that always seemed to score her lots of points. They were recognized as Lake
Seneca’s Volunteers of the Year in 2000. They were also very active in their church, the Central United Brethren in
Montpelier always making things to sell there or for the Hospital Auxiliary.
―The girls‖, as they were referred to, enjoyed traveling and worked different jobs in the Montpelier area. Marge
worked for many years at the Montpelier Hospital as a bookkeeper. During World War II, Marge worked for the
U.S. Air Force at Wright Patterson Air Base near Dayton, Ohio as a stenographer. In 2004, a few years after
Donna’s sudden death, Marge and Marie moved to Stanwood, Washington to be closer to their sister Lois. They
enjoyed being closer to family but still kept in touch with Lake Seneca friends. Marge subscribed to both the Bryan
Times and the Leader Enterprise to keep up with Montpelier ―happenings‖.
As they aged, life became more and more difficult. Marge had macular degeneration which made it difficult for her
to see and write letters to her friends. She also developed some problems with her jaw which made it hard for her to
chew her meals. She was faithful till the end when her Savior took her to join her sisters and brother-in-law Ernie.

NOTE FROM LSPOA OFFICE: We received the following message as an e-mail from Thomas C. Cikotte
after he read an article in our last newsletter about burning yard debris. Thank you, Thomas, for your contribution.
OHIO’S OPEN BURNING LAWS
Per Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) 3745-19-04(B)(3), the following five criteria must be met in order for people
to burn the residential wastes generated on their property, which would include ―landscape wastes‖ or, as you’ve
referred to it as, yard debris:
(a) The fire is set only when atmospheric conditions will readily dissipate contaminants;
(b) The fire does not create a visibility hazard on the roadways, railroad tracks,
or air fields;
(c) The fire is located at a point on the premises no less than one thousand feet from any inhabited building not
located on said premises;
(d) The wastes are stacked and dried to provide the best practicable condition for efficient burning; and
(e) No materials are burned which contain rubber, grease, asphalt or liquid petroleum products.
If a property owner cannot meet these criteria then they are not permitted to burn their waste. If they were to burn
their waste they would be in violation of the law. I thought that you may want to pass this along to your association
members, as it seems that many of the residents in your community may not be able to meet the 1000’ setback
requirement.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding these rules, by all means, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Thomas C. Cikotte

twenty-four (24) feet and pontoons are limited to twenty-six (26) feet. Watercraft are not allowed within fifty

grounds for denying boating privileges to the offenders. The Association is not responsible for clothing,
valuables, or any personal injury sustained while in a watercraft, on the beach, or in/on the water. Temporary
guests are not allowed to put any type of watercraft on Lake Seneca. However, full-time renters, living in
dwellings of members who have paid their dues, are allowed to put their own watercraft on Lake Seneca waters,
each watercraft must be registered at the Association office, and the renter must obey all boating regulations that
apply. All watercraft must operate in a counter-clockwise pattern. All Ohio watercraft laws are enforced on
waters of Lake Seneca. All watercraft must be titled & registered in Property Owners/Member’s names or fulltime renter’s name. (Full-time renter has mailing address at Lake Seneca.)‖

Rule 66.3 – ―Picnicking and bottles are not allowed on the sandy part of the beach. Children under ten (10)
years of age must be accompanied by an adult. Adults with children must be responsible for their children’s
conduct and safety. Swimming is restricted to the area bounded by the floats. The use of water toys and similar
equipment is left to the judgment of parents.‖
