PCYC Jib SheetBy now, you all should
have received in the mail
the details of the proposed
change in PCYC Rules re-
garding pets, specifically
dogs and cats. At the April
membership meeting, the
proposal was made in theform of a motion by R.J.
Basil. After a short period
of discussion, the motion
was tabled. It will be taken
off the table and voted on
at our May 2 membership
meeting. However, it may
be amended. The funda-
mental vote will be simply
about allowing pets on the
grounds. Your board oftrustees has worked long
and hard looking at guide-
lines. We have asked RJ to
work with the board to
tidy up the language in
the guidelines based on
feedback from the mem-
bers. Our plan is to provide
a revised set of guidelines
to go along with the rule
change for the membership
to review prior to voting.A paper ballot is planned
for a vote of the member-
ship following discussion.
When it is all over, we will
all head to the bar!!!
Thanks to all who at-
tended the April 21
Spring Work Party! We
had outstanding atten-
dance and got a whole lot
done on the Club
grounds. As I am sure you
have been following theprogress of work on the
Riverfront of the Club-
house, much thanks to
members Sean Kelly, PC
Rusty Jack and Jim Zipfel
along with caretaker Eric
Reynolds and others who
have been working dili-
gently to prepare the en-
tire riverfront for the sum-
mer season. The board-
walk along the river has
been removed.
Be sure to mark the date
of Saturday, May 25 on
your calendar for the very
special Strategic Planning
meeting in the Ballroom
starting at 10 a.m. Mem-
bers and family members
are invited to come andparticipate as we poll the
membership about what
projects YOU feel are im-
portant to undertake in
the next few years at
PCYC.

month around PCYC,

tremely busy. It all starts

day, May 10, the Mothers

special flag that will fly onthe PCYC yardarm
through the summer. It is
the official Dont Give Up
The Ship Bi-Centennial
Flag for the Battle of Lake
Erie which will be re-
enacted at the original bat-
tle site by a number of Tall

Its project season! Here is a rundown of the current projects and their status followed by upcoming projects.
Water meter replacement scheduled to start in May
Parking lot the paving is scheduled to start soon. We will do our best to not inconvenience you as this project
is completed.
Parking Lot sealing and re-striping this was approved by the Board last meeting and typically happens two
weeks after the repairs are made.
Boardwalk excavation phase is complete and the pedestals are being prepared for installation. The consensus
on whether to put the old Boardwalk back temporarily with repairs or leave it gravel has been decided. The areaalong the seawall will be gravel for this season or until we build the new Boardwalk.
Pedestals the Pedestal project is moving along nicely with steady progress being made daily.
Tree trimming and pest control several trees have been thinned to allow more sunlight through. Many of
these same trees were treated to minimize the sap problems we experience from the Cottony Maple Scale. A
more effective method is being used by injecting the trees with a chemical to control the pest.
New Projects
Pool Bar plans are complete and volunteers are being assembled. This project will begin soon and I still plan
on it being complete prior to the pool opening.
Brick Entry Columns the Board has approved the removal of the columns. The columns were built by Rollieand Bill Lano before the new Clubhouse was constructed is what I am being told. Whereas we appreciate the
effort it took to erect them, they have consistently been identified as a hazard especially since the pool was con-
structed. I am sure most of us have experienced a busy summer day and worried about a child darting out from
behind a column. This is the primary reason for removing the columns. In addition, most of us have experi-
enced near misses or had to wait on a car because it is too narrow. The Board has also approved widening the
road in this area to allow safer traffic flow. This will be done at the same time the parking lot is repaired. The
plaques and Navigation lights have been saved and will be used at a later date when a new entrance is developed.
Irrigation Fred Pachasa and Eric are continuing their quest to irrigate the entire club grounds. Their team
made significant progress last year and hope to complete the network this year. Anyone interested in helping
throughout the summer on this project can contact Eric or Fred for assignments.
Spring Work Party it was quite a chilly start so it took a while to get rolling, but the sun warmed us up and
over 60 members went to work. You all should be very proud of yourselves for what was accomplished on that
cold Sunday. The club is ready for spring picnics, marina activity and the clubhouse is sparkling because of your
efforts. Chuck, Eric and I are amazed and thankful for all that was accomplished.
Those of us that frequent the club know how many hours Eric puts in especially from now until the dock

risers are removed in the fall. Whereas we appreciate his dedication, Chuck, myself and the Board also feel he
deserves time for himself. Starting in May, Eric will be taking Mondays off except for Holidays.All other days he
will be on the grounds at 8am to address any member needs and to accomplish his normal duties. Please remem-
ber though, request for Erics help should be limited to incidental items, reporting something which needs re-
paired or an emergency. All other request, policy or rule complaints, etc should be reported to the Facilities
Manager, Chuck Reichman, a Board Member or a Flag Officer so they may be handled or scheduled in the ap-
propriate manner.
There was some discussion at the last Membership Meeting relating to the Blue trash cans. This program
started last year where we monitored the usage vs cost of keeping the cans. The Board also surveyed several facili-
ties similar to ours and determined to cut way back on the cans to reduce cost and promote a cleaner look to the
grounds. We understood by making this decision that there would be an adjustment period and a slight incon-
venience for some members. The savings to the club per year is conservatively more than $6000.00 by eliminat-
ing the cans. Please respect the Boards decision and carry your trash to one of two large dumpsters or the cluster
of cans located at the NE corner of the Marina. I thank you in advance for your cooperation and in helping the
club save the money so we can invest it back into the club for everyones benefit.
I would like to commend and thank the parents or Grandparents for their efforts to keep the Activity
room tidied up after a night of fun by the kids. Just want you to know it is being noticed and appreciated.
The Flower committee is looking for volunteers for the summer to help keep the club looking great. Ifgardening is something you like to do; we can use your help. Contact Fred or Diane Pachasa at 419-732-6387 to
get involved.
The North Shore Shower house is open for business. The three units that face south towards the club are
available at this time and the remainder will be available just before the Memorial Day weekend.
One last thing. Please change my phone number in the back of your yearbook to my cell # 419-541-0724
or contact me at [email protected] for anything I may be able to do for you.
