There were around ninety of us working in five teams of fifteen with a team on full-time kitchen duty. During the course of the week we built five simple stucco houses, led a daily Vacation Bible School, and got a taste of life in the colonias on the outskirts of Tijuana. The family we were working with was a young woman, Anna, and her seven year old daughter, Jenni. They had moved to Tijuana from Chiapas a number of years ago. The house that they were living in was unlike anything we would be familiar with. It was made of old garage doors and pieces of plywood roughly nailed together, with a tarp for a roof. It was no bigger than 80 square feet – many of us have larger bathrooms! The floor was dirt, and sloping down to the street, so it turned to mud in the rainy season. I could not imagine living like that. It seemed so different from anything I had experienced before. One of our team members asked Anna why she had moved up from Chiapas, leaving family and community behind. She replied by saying that the conditions in Tijuana were ten times better than in Chiapas. It was at that point that many of us realized that, although she was living like this, although most of us spoke little or no Spanish, although we had wealth beyond her imaginings, we were exactly the same. Her dream, her hope, her vision, was to give her daughter something better. Isn’t that what we all hope for our families? My son is eight, and he really connected with Jenni. It was wonderful to watch them running around and playing together. They couldn’t speak each others’ languages, but through play, and pointing and touch, and learning one or two words, they communicated in ways that we adults could not. They were just the same, two children, enjoying one another, laughing and playing. One of the most memorable moments was when my son said, “Dad, I haven’t done any work today. I played with Jenni all day long!” I told him how important it was to spend time with the members of the family, and that what he did was as important as building the house, or as Vacation Bible School. There were fourteen adults and two children on our team, all of us working hard, most of whom Jenni will most certainly forget, but I said to my son, “Gregor, Jenni will always remember the little blond boy who built her house for her!” Rev.

Page 4 The Normanoch News of Culver Lake July 29, 2011 MEN’S CLUB NEWS Another incredible night-Angelo’s famous Spaghetti Dinner. A light tweak of perfection with his sweet and hot sausage accompanied by a warm friendly and family atmosphere really turns the clubhouse into a beautiful place to have an enjoyable evening. Although Angelo was not available to attend the actual dinner itself this year, his efforts of preparation in days prior accompanied by a strong effort of volunteers led to the successful creation of the dinner we enjoyed. In the days before an event like this, it is always a concern as to who will be available to contribute their help to this type of event. But almost without fail, there are always the true diehards who just appear. There is also a great showing of new volunteers, which is encouraging for the future. Once again thank you to Angelo for sharing his special talents and we hope to see all of you again next year for Angelo’s famous Spaghetti Dinner. As you are catching lots of fish this summer and taking lots of pictures of those beauties, please drop some photos of your catches in the basket provided on the Men’s Club wall at the clubhouse to be included in future displays for the wall. It is a great way 550 Lafayette Road (Route 15), Sparta NJ www.EastCoastAlternativeEnergy.com 973-300-5144 to share your fishing experiences with others in the community. There has been some interest in having a game night at the clubhouse (poker, backgammon, bridge, etc…) as a weekly event for both men and women. A response is needed. For those who have ideas and/or interest in this weekly event, please contact me at [email protected] or call me at 973-948-6982. Historical Happenings: (as reprinted form the September 4, 1981 Normanoch News) We’re here to stay!! That’s right, Culver Lake, the Ski Club is growing stronger each week. In two short months, our membership has grown to thirty members. The addition of the slalom course proved to be the spark to ignite the interest of people on the lake who share our common goal, to ski and have FUN! rienced competition skiers. The club hopes to put together a solid ski team, so if you’ve ever dreamed of making real spray in competition going for the gold, then come join our club and tryout for our team.

July 29, 2011 BE AWARE OUT THERE Dear Friends and Neighbors, Heat Wave!! Did everyone heed the warnings that have been aired over the television to survive the exceptionally high temperatures? Most of all, did we check on our neighbors, especially the elderly? As we walk or drive around the Lake, we can notice much construction and home repairs being done. Once again, former Sheriff Untig has offered some advice. He says: BE SKEPTICAL OF THE FOLLOWING; - Door-to-door salespersons, with no local references, that offer to do home repair work for less than market price. - Solicitations for repair work from a company that lists only a telephone number or post office box to contact. - Contractors who refuse to provide proof of licensing and insurance. - Persons offering to inspect your home for free. - Contractors demanding cash payments for the job, full payment before the job completion, or ask for checks payable to a person other than the owner or company name. - Offers from a contractor to drive you to the bank to withdraw funds. So, from the Culver Lake Crime Watch team, Always Be Aware Out There! Page 6 The Normanoch News of Culver Lake CL CULVER LAKE MAGNETS FOR SALE 2 for $10 or $6 each For sale at the clubhouse office.
