Wanted: Mah Jongg Players. Will Teach ...

The Oquaga Lake Mah Jongg League is always looking for new players to join our afternoon games. No, this is not computer solitaire. Mah Jongg is a game played with domino-like tiles with Chinese characters. The objective is to collect a pre-determined combination of tiles. If you know how to play gin rummy, you're on your way to understanding the game, but there are more challenging aspects to it.

It takes four players to make a table. And we're always willing to teach new players! Most important, our league is carefree and tolerant. Send an e-mail to olia@oquaga.com, or call Barbara or Brenda for details. We'd love to have you join us!

Safe Boating

As we approach this long Holiday Weekend, remember the Boating Rules. There are again reports of boats ignoring the basic rule of boating in one direction only. No short cuts, please. As the weekend gets busy, please also be mindful of the rules regarding skiing and tubing: no more than five boats doing this at one time. And you must ALWAYS have a spotter in the boat.

If you want to refresh your understanding of the Boating Rules, you can find them on our website and at this link.

REMINDER: WE HAVE RULES to protect our SAFETY, COMFORT, and PRIVACY.

There have recently been concerns expressed about some concerning issues.

Please respect your neighbors by complying with a few basic rights.

There is a Leash Law

You surely love your pet and know he/she is the most adoring, loveable, and tamest of beasts. As you and they walk, however, there are those who do not know that your pet-child is friendly or harmless. Or to some, your furry friend may be a reminder of a bad childhood experience of jumping, playing, biting, or other fearful episode. Please. Leash your pet. It's also the law in the Town of Sanford.

Peering into Windows

Very Disturbing. Reports of people, including neighbors - Yes, NEIGHBORS - . peering into windows. Seemingly unoccupied properties, but you never know. Please remember: Oquaga Lake is surrounded entirely by private property. Even as a neighbor, crossing property without permission is a violation of law. Expect the State Police will be called.
