A NOTE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I'm writing this after spending Thanksgiving weekend at Trout Lake. The weather was autumn perfection: sunny and cool, and the fall colours were spectacular. The sad part was that we were packing things up and getting the camp ready for winter. Unfortunately we won't be up to the lake many more times before next year and it's hard to say good bye to 2016 after the incredible summer we had. I always call camp my "happy place". As a sign that hangs in my kitchen says, "if you're lucky enough to have a place at the lake, you're lucky enough".
Looking back on what your association accomplished in 2016 I feel confident in saying that the association is well positioned as it moves into another year. In the past year we have recruited five new board members and have filled all Board positions. Work is ongoing in safety, fishery, forestry and environment. Both the picnic and fish fry were well attended events and I'm happy to say that the weather co-operated which is always my biggest concern even though that's the one thing we can't do anything about. My thanks to the many volunteers who help make the events a success and who work on our various initiatives from maintaining fire pumps to working at the fish pond and all other association activities. The association is only as strong as its members make it.
In 2016 the Board took the initiative to strengthen its links with the French River Citizens Association and met with them in August. With a municipal election slated for 2018 we believe it would be helpful for our membership to receive in- formation about local municipal affairs. Please see the report later in the bulletin for more information.
Lastly, I'm happy to welcome James MacMillan to the Board as Vice President. This was the last Board position to fill and I applaud James for stepping forward to volunteer. I look forward to his and all Board members' insight and perspec- tive as we continue our work in 2017.
Until next spring I wish you a very enjoyable fall and winter. See you next year!

We’d like to extend a welcome to our new Vice-President, James MacMillan.
Hello to the membership and executives of TLCA.
Thank you to the people that recently nominated me to the position of Vice President. My name is James MacMillan, I have been on the lake for the last 15 years. My wife Doris and I purchased Jack and Muriel Carl’s camp in 2001.
I have spent most of my life on a lake or two. I was on Lake Wahnapitae till I was 16 at my parent’s camp. Then spent ten years camping on Duck Lake, in Port Loring with my growing family. So I know and appreciate what a great natural resource forests, water, fish and wildlife are. This was one of the reasons I decided to get more involved with our association. I have gotten to know many people from the lake over the years and have heard how great the membership has been, going way back to when CB Radio’s where the only way they communicated and the Annual TLCA Picnics were actually held on Picnic Island.
Therefore, my goal is to help generate, promote and progressively maintain friendly relationships among the cottage owners, increase the interest of all cottage owners for the betterment of the Lake Environment, promote safe and responsible operation of all watercraft and related activities, to encourage the environmentally sustainable use of the lake, its roadways, public landings and surrounding forests to prevent destruction or harm to the water purity, wildlife, fish or the forest.
Of course my position on the board is that of Vice President which holds some unique responsibilities, which include assisting our President (Deb Lanktree) in carrying out the wishes of the Association when requested to do so by the President. I will also act in the position of the President when she is unable to act, in consultation with the Executive Committee.
In closing I would like to wish all our membership a healthy and prosperous fall, winter, and spring. I hope the permanent residents as well as the campers using our Frozen Trout Lake enjoy and embrace our great fourth snowy season.
Cheers, James MacMillan
4 Introducing the FRENCH RIVER CITIZEN’S ASSOCIATION
Submitted by Debbie Lanktree
On August 23rd, Linda Lachance and I met with representatives of the French River Citizens’ Association to discuss issues of mutual interest and potential areas of collaboration. The mission of the French River Citizens’ Association (FRCA) is as follows: · To promote democracy in the municipal affairs of the Municipality of French River;
· To interest citizens in municipal affairs;
· To promote the Municipality;
· To follow Municipal affairs;
· To participate and comment on them;
· To require members of the Municipal Council, its committees and its staff to fulfill their mandate with responsibility, respect of it citizens, the law, adoption and observance of fair by-laws, rules and procedures of the Municipality in order to serve the citizens of this Municipality with competence and fairness
· To see that elected officials and staff prepare and follow reasonable budgets and use taxation and grant funds judiciously in order to ensure stability, progress and reasonable taxes
· To encourage Council to consult the population on major issues and to focus on community needs
The majority of property owners on Trout Lake pay their property taxes to the Municipality of French River (MFR). As a result, decisions made by MFR Council have an impact on most of us. In my role as President of the Trout Lake Campers’ Association I have been contacted by our members on issues related to rising property taxes, waste disposal and road maintenance as well as how council decides to spend its operating and capital budgets. Our association has limited resources and limited expertise in this area. However, by collaborating with the FRCA we will be able to bring you information on what is happening on the municipal affairs front.
It is not the intention of Trout Lake Campers’ Association to become heavily involved in municipal politics however we do find ourselves dealing with a variety of issues that involve the municipality on a regular basis. In addition, a municipal election is slated for 2018. By providing our members with communications from FRCA it is our hope that the property owners on Trout Lake will know who to speak to when they have concerns and will be better informed when they cast their vote.
We will be featuring communications from FRCA in our bulletin on a regular basis. You can also access their articles on our website www.tlcasd.ca. If you wish to read more about FRCA or contact them directly please visit their website at www.frca-acrf.sitew.ca or their facebook page. Membership is $20. You can email them for a membership form at [email protected]
5 ENVIRONMENT & FORESTRY REPORT— Bob Nikolic, Director
Greetings to all Trout Lake Campers. While this report is being written the summer is still with us! It’s October 7 and the temperature is hovering around 20C but it won’t last long the forecast for next day is only 12C which is, by the way normal for this time of the year. Nevertheless, other than a lack of rain the summer has been very pleasant.
In September we carried out for the first time a very important and comprehensive water quality survey of the lake. The Association rented a multi-parameter testing instrument and 60m (~ 200 FT ) cable to be able to reach the deep- est spots in the lake. Along entire lake a total of 32 sites were surveyed, 19 (odd numbered 1-35 ) sites 1 km (~ 3,300 ft) apart along the line in the middle of the lake and 13 (odd numbered SHB 1-23) sites in the shallow bays. Depend- ing on depth the measurement swere taken down at surface; 0.5 m (~ 1.6 ft ); 1.0 m (~ 3.3 ft) and 2.0 m (~ 6.6 ft) in- tervals. In order to make sure that the instrument did not get damaged, the last measurement, with a couple of excep- tions, was about 1 m above the bottom. The parameters measured were temperature; conductivity; % saturated dis- solved oxygen; actual dissolved oxygen DO; PH value and REDOX. The tanks are due to Dr. Charles Ramcharan of L.U. and Fresh Water Ecology Unit in Sudbury who gave us very valuable advice as far as horizontal and vertical spacing, parameters etc. It took four days to complete the survey and I want to thank Guy Springay and my wife Ljuba because without them the survey would not have been done.
While the interpretation and impact of data will take some months, and we will need help with that, some simple things are easy to see from the data. As most of the campers already know is that in relation to depth the lake has two parts, eastern stretching from Happy Landing to a point between Dave Taylor’s camp on north shore and big rocky hill on south shore, and western part from there to the west end of the lake. Along the survey line eastern part average depth is 12 m (~ 40 ft and the thermocline (the boundary between warm and cold water) is at mostly about 6 m (~ 20 ft). It is important to note that DO level drastically declines in the cold water below the thermocline indicating that during the summer, lake trout in this area are under pretty high stress. The average depth in the western part is 26 m (~ 85 ft) and thermocline is at about 7 m (~ 23 ft . At two sites we had measurements at 44 m (~ 144 ft) and these fell in the deepest spots in the lake. Below the thermocline depletion of dissolved oxygen is very small and this confirms what many lake fishermen already knew that this area is the best place for lake trout. According to studies done on lake trout, the required level of DO for healthy population is 7 mg/l and the lower limit is at 6 mg/l. Most of the sites in western part have values of 6 – 7.5 mg/l indicating that in this area at present time can support a relatively healthy lake trout population, at least as far as DO is concerned. Under 4 mg/l DO is mortal zone for lake trout. Once the de- tailed analysis of the data is done we will publish more conclusions about the survey. The last environmental task of the year is the final Secchi disc reading to be done in mid-October. The summer read- ing was done in mid-August.
It was previously reported that harvest is going on by Chartrand and Lahaie. Lahaie is harvesting close to power line on South shore, and Chartrand built new road at about 9 km mark on Shaw road and harvest is located north of the road and quite far away from the lake. Brian Smith visited Lahaie’s site and I visited Chartrand area. No issues were detected with Lahaie’s harvest and some minor garbage was seen at Chartrand’s harvest area. We are planning one last visit to these sites before winter. Enjoy the clean water and beautiful forest around you – so many people around the world do not have a chance to experience this.

8 SAFETY REPORT—Darryl Taylor
Hello fellow campers. I hope you enjoyed the hot, dry, beautiful summer.
As of August 31st I can confirm that all fire pumps were in good running condi- tion. Thank you to all of the pump stewards.
We have purchased some spare marker lights and now have them on standby. Next season if you notice any marker light problems please contact me immedi- ately.
The safety committee is seeking 1 or 2 volunteers to look after the markers lo- cated between Big Island and Happy Landing. If you are available to help please contact me. The job consists of putting the markers in Victoria Day week- end and taking them out Thanksgiving weekend. Any help would be appreci- ated.
Have a safe winter. Camp safe and ride safe.

33 Wire Bristled BBQ Brushes In the recent news there were reports of people having pieces of wire lodged in their throats, from the wire-bristled BBQ grill brush. The wires would get caught in the food. Definitely worse than a fish bone!
Safer alternatives to using a wire bristled brush on your grill: Cut an onion in half and stick a knife in it to use as a handle. Rub the grill with it. Use a pumice stone. Wet it, and rub away. The stone will wear away in grooves which fit the wires on your grill. Use a ball of tin foil to scrub, by holding it with tongs.
The Canadian Candle (also commonly known as a “Swedish torch”) is one of the simplest and efficient ways to create a contained campfire. Rather than start- ing a fire using a traditional log cabin or teepee shape, a single log of wood is split into four pieces. Those pieces are then loosely bundled together using wire, then the area in between is filled with tinder and small wood. The result is a reliable, easy-to-start, contained campfire that burns remarkably like a candle. It’s also excellent for cooking on, and less of a fire hazard than traditional fires, as the logs holding the fire together create a natural container.
Be Safe on Your Quad—There were at least 4 quad accidents on Cherriman Road last year. It can happen to you! So be sure to wear your helmet and drive carefully. Hunters, you are required to wear orange, and an orange (covered) helmet on the quad. If using a gun rack on the front, ensure the gun is pointing towards the bush, not the oncoming traffic. Kids have to be 12 if they want to drive on a trail. And you have to be 16, with a valid driver's licence, if you want to even touch any part of a road. "These kids can ride an ATV but they can't cross a road."

35 WINTER STORAGE
(This article supplied by one of our advertisers)
Well it is inevitable, fall is here and with it comes your boat storage for the winter. Now for some this is quite easy and for others it can be a little challenging. Here are a few tips to make things easier.
First start off by pulling your boat out of the water, this is a good time to check the hull and rear transom for any damages. (Fast Clean hull wash is a good product to clean the bottom of your boat and or pontoons). After a good inspection is done and you are satisfied that there is no damage, you may proceed to winterize the engine.
Now there are several things to consider. Number one you want to stabilize your fuel. This can be done after you pull your boat from the water or for optimum results, you can do this before your last ride of the season. This will ensure that all the fuel in the system is treated. Next you will want to change the oil (FOUR STROKE ENGINES ONLY) After you have completed the oil change, you move on to the lower unit gear lube. When draining your gear lube this is a good time to notice if there is any foreign materials in the oil such as water, (oil will be a milky color) or metal shavings. If you find any of these in the oil it means it is time to have your lower unit serviced.
After all is done it is also a good time to wash the engine thoroughly. This is a good time to look for any damage to the prop and the lower unit. This may be the time to have your skeg repaired and send your prop to be repaired by a good qualified prop repair shop. Lastly remove your batteries and store in a warm dry area. A trickle charger is a good idea to maintain your battery.
If at any time this becomes a bit much for you, you may always go to processional for a full winterizing of your boat and motor.
NOTE: Inboard/Outboards require a totally different method of winterizing.
For more information on this and other services contact Bob at Marine Tech Plus at 705-898-1863. Now that your boat is safely tucked away for the winter, go ahead and enjoy the beautiful colors.
36 History was Made! 5 Generations Visiting Songbird Island—From Jim Smith
I was born in Sudbury went to St Charles College on Pine St. Lived in Gatchell, but moved to and have lived in Toronto for the last 50+ years. A retired principal with the Toronto Catholic District School Board of Education.
My father bought the Island in 1985. We named it 'Songbird Island' after my wife Dona who sang semi-professionally for years and is also a retired Special Education teacher.
My dad (Howard) was the 1st generation, me (James) the 2nd, my son (Jimmy), the 3rd, then the grand children (4) the 4th and Jasper my Great Grandson the 5th. We also have a new Great Granddaughter who will visit next summer!
Don't you just love it!
Our dream to share it with the family forever (I pray)! We live in Maple now just north of Toronto. I have been retired for 21 years now and never a dull moment, loving it!
A wife is scrambling eggs when her husband bursts into the kitchen. "Careful," he cries. "Be Careful! You're cooking too many at once. Too many! Scramble them! Now! We need more butter. They're going to stick! Careful! Now scramble them again! Hurry up! Are you crazy? Don't forget to salt them. You always forget to salt them. Use the salt. Use the salt! The salt!"
The wife turns and asks, "What is wrong with you?" Her husband calmly replies, "I wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving."

Rita Irene Fluelling—1921-2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing this winter of long time Trout Lake resident Rita Fluelling. Rita was a Trout Lake camper for more than 56 years. Rita and Jim Fluelling were two of the original “north shore” campers, buying land in 1960 and building a family camp in 1962. They both cher- ished time at the lake with their 5 children, who grew up summering there. Rita lost here beloved Jim in 1977, but continued on the family traditions established there so many years before. She spent countless hours clearing t he beach from rocks, singing to her 12 grandchildren as she rocked them on the front porch and preparing family meals. Her favourite spot was always on the screened in front porch overlooking the lake and the magnificent sunsets. Her last trip to Trout Lake came in the summer of 2009 at the age of 88. Even though our hearts are sad without our cherished Grandma here at Trout Lake, the camp continues to remain a Fluelling favourite to her sons, daughters, grandchildren and now 7 great grandchildren. Forever in our hearts, Grandma. 38
