Just got the lab report on our club pond, and the water is better than most trout streams in PA. With the sighting of many fish, frogs and tadpoles in the pond and the excellent water quality report, we will start the planning stages of the "Kids Fish for Fun Derby".

Notes from The President
- Here is a photo of a large Wiper fish that Matt and Gunner caught in the Republican River in Kansas over the weekend.
- I would like to ask our members to keep Captain Hamilton, and his family, in their thoughts and prayers as he is being deployed to Afghanistan at the end of the month.
- Andy Shaffer and his wife were kayaking on the club pond Sunday and they saw hundreds of fish, tadpoles and frogs. The club is planning on having a "kids fishing derby" in June or July and we will need help. If any member wants to help, donate fishing items, food or drinks, or has any ideas to help make it a fun time for the kids, please contact me at 236-3828.
Thanks,
- Tom Hamilton

Old Business
Shannon McKee picked up and delivered the corn for the deer feeder. The 2/12/12 work party trimmed a lot of the brush around the pond in bad weather and it looks pretty good. There will be a work party on 3/11/12 to trim more brush around the pond. If you have a saw, pruner or ax, bring it along, if not come with a pair of leather gloves, most of the trees have thorns in them.Plans were discussed to rebuild the front of the camp before it is to far gone to repair. Tom Hamilton suggested we get a dumpster during the rebuild and have a work party to clean up all of the junk that is in the attic.
Andy Shaffer found railroad ties for $10.75 per tie delivered to use to rebuild the backstops from Brotsky’s in Brockway. Roger Thomas made a motion to purchase 15-20 of the ties and the motion passed on a Bud Thomas second. Marty Hrin volunteered to supply a post hole digger to dig holes for telephone poles to rebuild the backstop.
New Business

The president and the secretary are now required to get background checks, and the limit for the smaller license has been raised from 500$ to $1,000. Walt Kuzemchock made a motion to have our raffle drawing in November so we can have tickets available for our matches throughout the year. The motion passed on a Breck Neeper second and Walt will coordinate the prizes with Grice’s and order the tickets.
Randy Mitchell made a motion that we also have another member’s only drawing, the motion passed on a Joe Mitchell second.
Ed Spencer made a motion to supply Andy Shaffer with $200 for farm supplies. The motion passed on a Bob McClure second.

Lots accomplished by work party
Despite the less than favorable conditions, 19 degrees, snow and 30 mph winds, we got a lot done at the pond today. The rose bushes to the left of the dock still need cut down, but we opened up the grove side of the pond.
If any members want to go out and cut, we want to leave all the pine trees, cut down everything else around the inside of the pond and trim back on the outside. Throw the brush and trees over the outside of the bank for the animals. We do not want to cut anything else on the club side of the pond. There is still plenty to do and we need our membership to get out and help us do it.
I want to thank Walt Kuzemchock, Andy Shaffer, Roger Thomas, Carl Huss and Steve McClure for the great job they did. I think after today, we may be eligible for "Axe Men Alaska".

Rick Stanko passes away
It is with great sadness that I am letting our members know that Rick Stanko, of Sheffield, passed away at his home on December 19th, 2011.
Rick has been attendng, and winning, our 400 yard matches since we started having them. He was very active at the Ridgway Rifle Club and would go out of his way to help anyone in the shooting sports. He was an avid hunter, fisherman and a very good competitive shooter, winning matches wherever he went.
Rick was a very good friend and we will miss him deeply.
