2013 Hollister Award Goes to Lake Havasu Marine Association

Lake Havasu City, AZ: At the recent annual meeting of the Western States’ Boating Administrator Association in Flagstaff, Arizona, the Lake Havasu Marine Association (LHMA) was the honored recipient of the Hollister Award which recognizes outstanding service in the field of boating safety by individuals or groups (public or private).

“Clearly the LHMA has made a positive impact to recreational boating safety in the Lake Havasu area and they are to be commended,” said Kevin Bergersen, State Boating Law Administrator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department.

The LHMA has been active in fulfilling its mission to provide a safe, clean lake and river environment by enhancing the public’s boating experience. The Association membership is comprised of boating industry businesses, 77 dues paying Lake Havasu based community businesses and representatives of local governments. Affiliations include the Arizona Game and Fish Department, Arizona State Parks, Mohave County Sheriff’s Office, Lake Havasu Police Department, Lake Havasu City government, Lake Havasu City Visitors and Tourism Bureau, Lake Havasu City Partnership for Economic Development, the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe and the Bureau of Land Management.

The LHMA has been successful in implementing its many goals and projects to improve recreational boating by bringing a broad spectrum of the marine industry together ranging from Mercury Marine to local Lake Havasu store-fronts, various governmental agencies and the boating public to achieve common causes. Through the Association’s programs, its membership has created a public force that fully supports the State of Arizona’s mission of providing safe watercraft recreation for the enjoyment, appreciation, and use by present and future generations.

LHMA president/CEO Jim Salscheider said the award recognizes the group’s boating safety projects including Designated Operator promoting a sober driver for every boat, Designated Captains, Pack-It-In/Pack-It-Out Trash Bag clean-lake program, creation of a half-mile long deep-water channel between the northern section of the Lake and the entrance to the upper river and Topock Gorge, the installation of new lake navigation/hazard buoys and a much needed dock renovation project at Windsor Beach launch ramp. In addition to its tireless volunteer members, Salscheider credits Chip Romer, of Romer Beverage Co., Lake Havasu City, AZ and Bob Teague, of Teague Custom Marine, Valencia, CA for their unfaltering financial generosity that have boosted the association’s projects to success.

“We would not have been able to accomplish all that we have without the support of Romer Beverage Co. and Teague Custom Marine,” commented Salscheider. “They have answered every call, providing us with the funding necessary to initiate programs and undertake boating safety projects which otherwise would have been beyond our reach. They have made a profound difference for the betterment of Lake Havasu boating.”

The Hollister Award is one of the Western States Boating Administrator Association’s most prestigious awards in the area of contributions to boating safety. The Hollister Award was established in May 1962 by the WSBAA to recognize the late Senator John J. Hollister, Jr. of California. Senator Hollister was known then as the “Father of good boating legislation.”

How is OCM doing down there?

[old377guy]

Timmy says things are going well in Havasu - kinda slower up in Portland.

[Ratickle]

Weather sure has been nicer in Arizona than Portland.

[old377guy]

True, but I like Portland weather

[poncho]

I have the same weather as Portland, its not bad, but wouldn't say I like it! A few years ago while driving to LA decided to stop at TCM for something. Saw Bob Teague moving boats around their yard to get a boat into the shop. Was surprised to see him doing that kind of work.

[Ratickle]

Heck, I've watched Bob wash and wax his wife's boat.......

[old377guy]

yeah, but she probably polishes his.............never mind......

My wife really likes Bob's wife. You should hear the two of them talk about cats. Of course Bob's and my input is a bit different. She doesn't go to enough races though.

It's really odd this year not seeing the Amsoil cat on the circuit.
