great and
maintained, periodically the roads (which
are our private property) have to be repaired and seal coated. There is a specific rotational plan for all the streets established in the
Reserve Study and paid for out of reserve funds.
This summer it’s the turn of roads on the east
side. Paving in front of the homes in Parcel “F”
and “G” plus one street in Parcel “C” are due
for the work over the next two weeks (June 4 14). B&C Paving will perform the work in two
sections (seal one side of a street and then the
other) on each street to allow for pass-through
traffic and parking. Affected residents received a
letter on Friday explaining the procedure and
the exact dates for the work.
When Tanque Verde Road was reconstructed,
the level of the roadbed was raised. Homes
alongside the new road now have an unwelcome view of pedestrians, cars and trucks as
they pass by (and vice versa). HOA President,
Mel Silverman has been in a long running discussion with the Pima County Department of
Transportation officials on how to rectify the
situation. Raising the wall is both expensive and
perhaps difficult given the construction that
would be needed. An alternative under discussion is to plant large Mesquite trees and other
physical barriers along the roadside. Those
homeowners affected will be meeting with the
County officials to find a resolution to this
problem.
Because your editor / publisher is taking
some time off in June, we are combining
this issue into a two month edition. The
next issue will be sent out in July and will
include the HOA Board minutes for May
and June.
BINGO No-Go
Who Done It?
We are sorry that Bingo was postponed for the
month of May due to Memorial Day weekend and lots of folks being out of town.
Can you solve the mystery? On April 9th about
3 pm, a Sear’s delivery truck broke the gate.
Sears won’t take responsibility (even though
there was an eyewitness) unless we can tell
them where the delivery was made.
Shirley Henning is looking forward to seeing you
at the next game in our Rec Center on June
22nd. at 6:30 p.m. You can invite a guest to
come with you to share in the fun.
Did you receive an item from Sears on that
Monday? If so, “drop a dime” on Sears so we
can get them to pay for the repair. Please call
our manager, Edna Balko (297-0797). You have
no responsibility… except to your fellow homeowners.

In Memoriam
Lakes Dangerous to Dogs
We are sad to report the passing of longtime Lakes resident, Lloyd W. Aultman on
Saturday, April 21, 2012. Lloyd joined the
Lakes community in 1998. Born in Los Angeles, CA on July 17, 1930, the family moved,
to Milwaukee, WI, where he grew up. After
serving in the Marine Corps he attended
Columbia University and earned his J.D. at Saint John's University. For many years and at numerous parishes in New
York and Tucson he served as a lector, Eucharistic minister,
teacher of religious education and directed the drama productions of the vacation bible school at Saint Pius X. He also
entertained countless children at Mesquite Elementary
School and the elderly in a number of assisted living homes
in Tucson. He is survived by his beloved wife, Angela and
children, Kathleen MacFarlane, Eric Aultman and J AultmanMoore. He is also survived by six grandchildren.
Did you know that the
chemicals we put in
the lakes to control
algae, weeds and other
nasty stuff might also
be harmful to dogs?
Please don’t let your
animals swim in our
beautiful lakes and
ponds (or the swimming pools for that matter). Not only is pet swimming against the rules, it could cause them harm.
And the Lakes are not responsible for any damages
either.

Fireworks
We all love ‘em, but fireworks are banned in the City of Tucson and thus within the Lakes at Castle
Rock. Besides the obvious incendiary devices like firecrackers, any item with the warning label that
refers to "showers of sparks", "flames", "flaming balls", "flaming balls with report", "explosive",
"rocket", or similar is an indication that the device is a firework, and therefore illegal and dangerous.
Given the current, extreme fire danger you are reminded not to celebrate the 4th of July with these
dangerous items. The neighborhood you might save is your own. “Novelty items," are still legal.
These include: "toy pistol caps, snap caps, snappers, party poppers, glow worms, snakes, toy smoke devices, and sparklers."
Novelties are not considered fireworks and are not prohibited under the City of Tucson's law, according to police.
Gate Access
The gates and access control arms at each of the two entrances to the Lakes are
there to limit access to residents and their guests & contractors. Since the arms were
installed and the code numbers limited to working hours only (6 am to 6 pm), vandalism and unauthorized persons on the property have been reduced significantly. These
measures have kept your repair and replacement costs down.
It was recently discovered that one code number that was originally assigned to
“contractors” was being abused by many people (residents and none residents alike).
That number was removed and will not be reissued.
So how should you get into the Lakes? There are two electronic systems available. You should have a push button gate remote (similar to a automatic garage door opener) that opens the resident side of the gates. You can also purchase a gate
card that you can place against a sensor to open the gates. These devices work 24/7. If you need to get another card or remote, please contact our Manager, Edna Balko at Cadden Management. The cost for a remote is: $25 and the card is: $15.
You may send a check and once it is received by management, the device will be mailed. Or you can pick them up at Cadden
Management’s office.
In an emergency (e.g. you don’t have your device and no one is home to answer the squawk box), you can call our security
service on the squawk box. Once they verify your account, they will open the gates.
There is no longer a generic code given to all contractors. Those workers who come to your home on a regular basis, such
as gardeners, should use your specific access code.
Other contractors and guests coming to your home must call you on the squawk box. The box works all the time. Once
you receive the call and verify the person, you simply press the number “9” on your phone and the gates will open. Please
be sure your name is correctly listed on the squawk box by physically checking the listing. If there is a problem with your
listing (e.g. name is incorrect or nonexistent), please email Edna Balko with the correct information and your lot number.
The listing will be changed as quickly as possible at no charge.
If you have renters, please be sure to notify Edna so that the proper name and phone number can be placed on the squawk
box.
Our thanks to those who choose to advertise in the community newsletters. The $25
fee charged for business card sized ads helps to offset the cost of printing and distributing this publication. If you would like to advertise your business in the Castle Rock
Times, please contact our Community Manager, Edna Balko at 297-0797 or
[email protected].
