LAKE KIOWA é CommuniQue Lake Kiowa on the Web: www.lakekiowatx.com Vol. 39 - No. 9 Sunday, September 11 Official Publication of Lake Kiowa Property Owners Association September 2016 Grand Opening of the new Lodge Patio will be Sunday, Sept. 4 and Monday, Sept. 5. West Nile Mosquito Found at Lake Kiowa East Beach Cooke County and the LKPOA have been working together testing for the West Nile virus and other mosquitoborne diseases since 2012. The West Nile virus was detected in a mosquito test sample collected Tuesday, Aug. 9 in the East Beach area. The testing process takes almost a full week and we were just notified of the results Aug. 16. Further information regarding the LKPOA’s prevention program can be found on our website (http://www. lakekiowatx.com. Use the Four D’s to defend yourself and your family against this virus by taking the following precautions when outdoors: 1. Dusk/Dawn are times of the day you should try to stay indoors. This is the time when mosquitoes are most active. 2. Dress in long sleeves and long pants when you’re outside. For extra protection, you may want to spray thin clothing with repellent. 3. DEET is an ingredient you need in your insect repellent. 4. Drain standing water in your back yard and neighborhood - old tires, flowerpots, and clogged rain gutters. These are mosquito breeding sites. More information regarding this virus can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/westnile/ or by calling Toll Free 1-888963-7111.

We had a great summer this year, blessed by sufficient rainfall that kept our lake levels up during the majority of the prime boating season. Speaking of boating, over 1100 people have studied our boating rules, taken and successfully passed our online required Boat Safety Test. Our Lake Patrol has been on the water much more this summer, and have observed much safer boating behaviors than in years past. Having said that, all boat operators (members, guests, and day visitors) must take and pass the online test before piloting a motorized watercraft on Lake Kiowa. By taking the test, operators will learn the rules unique and specific to Kiowa to keep our lake safe and fun. If you have not seen our new patio addition at the Lodge, come on by and have a snack or drink from our new and exciting patio menus. The menu features lots of new and revised items and are made for sharing with family and friends and are generally able to be eaten without cutlery. The new patio menu items will be prepared in a different part of our kitchen, in an effort to reduce the pressure off of the existing cook line and allow us to serve our guests inside. We will be using lots of ice buckets to keep beverages cold and have come up with some new drink serving sizes to keep you hydrated. There will be no glass or china on the patio to prevent any possibility of problems from breakage. The patio was designed to be family friendly for those West Beach goers, but everyone still needs to be properly covered and have footwear on when on our patio. These are new, exciting and uncharted times at the Lodge and Donna and her team are working hard to provide great service and products to many more people on the patio. Our Pro Shop is now operating with the same point-of-sale system that is in place at the Lodge and Front Gate, so be prepared to show your membership card if you want to charge any merchandise or greens fees to your lot. This system will allow the LKPOA and Brown to better coordinate revenues and charges between the two organizations. Tee times are still made through the current online system Chelsea Information Systems. We have been trapping mosquitoes at various locations around Lake Kiowa all summer and collected lots of all types of mosquitoes. Unfortunately for us, the samples collected on Aug. 9 came back with a mosquito testing positive for the West Nile virus. More information is posted on our website and it will be updated regularly as things change. Everyone needs to double their efforts by eliminating standing water and other favorable habitat and protecting themselves when outdoors during mosquito activity times.

Or, to tell you each how much you mean to me and my family! I have known some of you for many years and some just a short time. But, no matter. Your friendship, prayers, love, care, hugs and kisses are always in the top, middle and bottom of my heart! I live away now and I miss you so much. In fact, if the opportunity arises and it is in God’s plan, I would consider coming back to Lake Kiowa. Meanwhile, God bless you all, and thanks again. I would like to share a poem I wrote a few years ago. My Time God gives us each a way to go, Sometimes fast, sometimes slow, Time to the front, Time far behind, To each his own, In His own time! We learn to laugh and cry and moan, And sometimes we want to be alone, And often we look to God above, And thank Him for family, friends and love, And hope when we come to life’s end, We leave a light where we have been. Love and God bless, Dorothy Baskett School's in session. Please stop at bus stops. Keep our kids safe. To our Lake Kiowa friends, Please join us as we celebrate the 80th birthday of our mother, June Cloud! Lake Kiowa Lodge October 1, 2016 2 till 5 p.m. Come and go No gifts, please Hosted by her children: Russell and Gay Cloud, Peggy and Kevin May and Rick and Wanda Cloud. We are so touched by all the prayers, thoughts and warm wishes that were directed our way during my recent cardiac episode. To all our friends and acquaintances, THANK YOU from the bottom of my newly electrified heart. I’m feeling as good as ever and, as of Aug. 1, I was cleared to resume my life as it was prior to this event. God bless you all.

In anticipation of his move to Lake Kiowa, he was going through old boxes in his attic and came across a fragile, faded, brown page from a 47-year-old newspaper. He wanted to share an article referring to Lake Kiowa and the island therein. The following text appeared in Section D of the The Dallas Morning News on Sunday, March 16, 1969 as part of Jim Stephenson’s column: “YOU’VE HEARD, no doubt, of the ‘corporate castle’ that Miss Penny Rich, president of Pennsylvania International of Dallas, is building on a wooded island on Lake Kiowa near Gainesville. It’ll have a moat and drawbridge—even a dungeon— but Miss Rich isn’t sure what use she’ll make of the latter. It’s interesting to note that the island on which she’s building wasn’t even being offered actively for sale when she spotted it. 'The developer didn’t think anyone would want it,’ she said. Miss Rich ‘discovered’ the island when she went to inspect a lot she had purchased on Lake Kiowa earlier, with the intention of building a lakefront cottage retreat for herself and her mother. The rise of land in the lake covers about an acre.” Bill commented as follows: “I had forgotten she [Miss Rich] once owned the island. She never built on it but instead had a ‘mansion’ on East Kiowa. It has been made over so many times that I don’t think it is recognizable but I remember my mother used to always take visitors by to look at it.” September 11 You are invited to the Lake Kiowa Women’s Golf Association “Red & White Unite” Pre-Tournament Dinner & Auction benefitting YOUR Cooke County United Way!

Mary Becker 5 6 September 2016 KiowaQuiltBee CommuniQue A small group of members met on Aug. 1 for our monthly quilt bee. Tari Dargar, a newer resident and avid sewer, joined us. Sharon Catlett led our discussion of the raffle quilt ticket sales which have been going very well and should raise a sizeable donation for our Indian Creek Volunteer Fire Department. All proceeds will go to our fire department. Many of our members participated in a quilt retreat in Sunset, Texas during July with other quilters from North Texas. Everyone who attended raved about the accommodations and encouraged everyone to take part in the next one. There was good food, generous facilities and great friendships formed. Everyone enjoyed sharing new ideas and unique skills. Another retreat is being planned for February 16-20, 2017 so mark your calendars. Sew day on July 22 saw many “Care Bears” completed and turned over to Debbie Alexander to be sent to the organization that distributes them to children being treated for rare diseases. Our next Bee is Sept. 5 at 7 p.m. and our sew day will be Sept. 16. We meet at the Lodge to work on our individual projects for a day of friendship, sharing and lunch. Come for the day or any part of the day between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Carole Clausing Jennifer Mason brought the University of Texas (UT)-themed quilt that she finished for her son who is entering UT this fall.

GriefShare Starts This September GriefShare is a grief support group that offers help and encouragement after the death of a spouse, child, family member or friend. GriefShare is nondenominational featuring biblically based concepts to aid you in healing from your grief. It runs in 13-week cycles, meeting once a week using video seminars, small group discussion and a workbook to help you as you cope with your loss. These sessions are “self-contained” so while it is beneficial to attend all of the sessions, you do not have to attend in sequence. You may join at any time during each 13-week cycle and make up sessions as it begins again. The first session of this GriefShare cycle will be held Monday Sept. 12 at 2 p.m. The sessions will run each Monday through the first Monday of December. We will meet at the Lake Kiowa Lodge. Come join others in a safe and welcoming environment that will help you with the healing that is essential in the grieving process. Please contact me at (940) 395-3405 to let me know of your interest in attending or if you have any questions. Jo Brannan September 2016 CommuniQue 9 Kiowa Genealogy Group Begins a New Year Men’s Bible Study Conversation Group Our weekly Men’s Conversation Group with a Biblical focus meets Sept. 7 at 8 a.m. in the Lodge Southwest Room. Mark this date on your calendar and plan now to be part of this group. Feel free to invite other guys to come with you. Remember that this is a conversation group with a Bible focus, the reading serving as the backdrop to ignite the conversation and keep us focused and challenged. We are going to begin with a very readable book, one of the classic theological books. I am a retired United Methodist lead pastor and will bring the Biblical correlations and present-day issues for conversation that relate to the chapters we read. Check out the summary below. While you will not have to read in advance of the group starting, you can get the book now and read in advance if that interests you. The cost of the book is $11 and you can get a copy at our first gathering, unless you get one from me before that. This group talks about life as we live it today and has a lively conversation. We recognize that folks cannot always be present each week as life is being lived out all around us, so guys come when they can and share in the journey. The new book for September is “Life Together” by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He stands as one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century. In 1935 he took charge of an “illegal” underground seminary where he shared a home with 25 pastors. “Life Together” is Bonhoeffer’s inspiring account of their unique fellowship as they sought to foster and live in an authentic Christian community. Imprisoned and hanged by the Nazis near the end of World War II for plotting to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer stands as a witness for faith and courage in the midst of persecution and an impassioned witness of the essential calling for Christians to do life together. Bonhoeffer reminds us, “We belong to one another only through and in Jesus Christ.” Do you long for authentic Christian community? A place to belong? Our lives are filled with many things, but we hunger for the goodness of life together in community and we may wonder if it is even possible. “Life Together” has been described as “bread for all who are hungry for the real life of Christian fellowship.” Rev. J. H. Langley Summer is fast coming to an end. Hope you were able to stay cool while you researched your ancestries. The Kiowa Genealogy Group (KGG) stayed cool during our summer workshop. We began with a great lunch and a lot of fun conversations. After lunch we moved to the LDS church where Linda Jonas spoke with us explaining how she began her genealogy career. WOW, we are so lucky to have such a knowledgeable genealogist in our midst! She will be one of our speakers later in the year. We were then able to go into the computer lab and work on research where we received assistance from Linda Jonas, Darlene Denton, Carol Beck and Cindy Barnett. Thank you, ladies!! Jackie Gary is working on updating the surname research list. This list contains names being researched by the KGG members. Please contact her at [email protected] if you need a list. If you have names on the list, you will need to add the state/states you are investigating per surname. Please respond ASAP so she can update and distribute the final listing in September. Darlene Denton also gave us an update on the digitalization of Cooke County records. The digitization is to begin in the next few weeks. Volunteers will be needed for half-day increments. Darlene is our contact for the project. More information will be coming soon. As we begin the new year on Sept. 22 at 1 p.m. at the Lodge, the KGG will give you a chance to share your summer finds and any instrumental information found in your research. The program will be a Show and Tell by those attending so join us for a fun time going down memory lane. The group meets on the fourth Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. at the Lodge. We have a year planned with genealogist speakers and field trips to local libraries. Carol Beck, Jackie Gary and Cathy Farquhar will be co-leaders for this group. We invite anyone interested in genealogy research no matter the level of your research. If you need a gate pass, you can contact Jackie Gary at jandjgary2@ airmail.net or Cathy Farquhar at cathy. [email protected]. We hope to see you there! Cathy Farquhar 10 CommuniQue September 2016 Local Theater Lee Skinner is Aunt Abby in Arsenic and Old Lace Lake Kiowa’s own Lee Skinner has been cast in another iconic role at Butterfield Stage. Butterfield’s opening production for the 2016/2017 season is “Arsenic and Old Lace,” the hilarious theatrical comedy made famous by the movie version that starred Cary Grant. Alfred Weser plays Mortimer Brewster, a soon-to-be-married newspaperman and author known for his arguments against marriage, visits the old Brewster home to share his new found love with his two maiden aunts. Lee will play Abby, one of two aunts who have an unusual hobby – killing old men and burying them in the basement! Aunt Abby and her sister Martha, to be played by Melinda Butler, have a long-standing need to carry out their hobby. Once discovered by nephew Mortimer, their entire world, and his as well, turns into a hilarious and sometime confusing romp. Directed by Craig Hertel, long-time Butterfield actor and director, this show will delight the audiences with a continuous flow of surprises, hilarity and just plain fun. The play winds through a twisting set of circumstances with a long list of quirky characters including other relatives, police and even a crazy bugle-blowing brother named Teddy who is in charge of burial duties. Lee Skinner continues her masterful acting as Abby and, along with sister Martha, tries cleverly to avoid detection while attempting to humorously distract nephew Mortimer from their ghoulish hobby. Lee is joined by a cast of 13 other Butterfield players in this twisting and turning play that ends with surprises and confusion alike. Lee is a long-time actress who has performed in many Butterfield productions. Her role in “Driving Miss Daisy” will not soon be forgotten and her self-written, one-woman show playing Katherine Hepburn will stand out as her crowning achievement. Her acting skills are perfect for the role of Abby as she brings this character to life winding her way through the sometimes confusing, but always focused role as one of the Brewster family members who have the long history of strange behavior. The production opens on Friday, Sept. 16 and continues on Saturday, Sept. 17 followed by three performances on Sept. 23, 24 and a Sunday matinee on the Sept. 25. Tickets go on sale the first day of September. Tickets are now on sale for the five Main Stage productions including “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Season tickets are only $50 and save you $25 from the single ticket price of $15 per production. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at (940) 665-1284 on Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Both single and season tickets can also be purchased online through our website at www. butterfieldstage.org; click on tickets.

We hope you enjoyed the community dances that we provided this summer. A huge thank you to Clint Sturgeon and David Moore for providing our dancing tunes and we thank all who attended. Friends of the Lodge (FOL) is bringing back the popular Golf Cart Scavenger Hunt followed by a dance in September. Join us at the Lodge on Saturday, Sept. 10 at 4:30 p.m. for the start of the scavenger hunt followed by dinner. The Lodge will be serving BBQ sandwiches with two sides. A cash bar will be available. Dancing will follow with music provided by Churchill Audio DJ. The cost for these events will be $15 per person. If you attend only the dance, then admission will be $5. Mark your calendars and don’t miss out on this fun event. We do need a count of those wanting to participate in the scavenger hunt or dinner, so please reserve your spot. Reservations can be made by calling Lynn Keckonen (972) 742-5813 or email [email protected]. FOL is hosting a new event in October, our first Fall Festival at the Lodge on Oct. 29. From 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. there will be carnival-type activities for our kids and grandkids to enjoy along with two bounce houses, a pumpkin patch for photo ops and, of course, a contest for the best costume. The Lodge will have food and drink available for purchase. From 6:30 to 7 p.m. in the south parking lot we will host a Trunk or Treat, a version of trick or treating where children solicit candy and other goodies, not from your house, but from your car trunks in a style similar to tailgating. Obviously, to make this a successful event, we will need volunteers willing to provide candy or other goodies. We hope this will be a fun way to celebrate the Halloween season for young and old alike and the beginning of a new tradition at Lake Kiowa. Please plan to come and join us. Holidays will be here before we know it. FOL and the Lodge will again sponsor the New Year’s Eve Dinner and Dance. The theme this year is “New Year’s Eve, A Night to Remember Black and White at Midnight.” In the past, FOL has surpassed itself each year in decorations and thus has set the bar very high for anyone willing to take on the responsibility for this celebration. We hope you will support 1 bedroom apartment for persons age 50 or older FRIENDS OF THE LODGE PRESENTS SLEUTHS OF KIOWA A GOLF CART CLUE/SCAVENGER HUNT GOOD OLD FASHION FUN!

The twelve items range in price from $30 each up to $1900 for a grant match and most everything qualifies as small equipment and tools. Given space constraints, we won’t list these items here, but we are happy to share it with you if you will contact any of the Auxiliary board members. This same wish list contains a couple of high-dollar items that we would love to help ICVFD procure so our fundraising efforts continue. First up is the Magic Show on Nov. 12 and we are so excited about this event! The team of magicians is excellent and they will keep you repeating “How’d they do that?” all evening long. The ticket price is $20 each and we’ll let you know as soon as they are available for purchase. Also in November is the annual bake sale. As usual this will take place the Sunday prior to Thanksgiving, which is Nov. 20 this year. This is a winwin situation: we raise money for our fire department from the sale of the best treats Lake Kiowa bakers have to offer and you get to remove some Thanksgiving meal prep stress because you’ll be buying your desserts. On another fundraising front, the Auxiliary has a “secret Santa” out there among you. We thank this person for the regular monthly check ORSBURNCARPET.COM SAVE THE DATE!

September 17 Lodge Pavilion See details on page 2. On Sept. 17, the Indian Creek Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting our annual Fish Fry and Auction fundraiser at the Lake Kiowa Lodge and Pavilion. In order to provide the quality fire and medical service that our fire district residents have come to expect, we are tasked with coordinating fundraisers like these to financially support our operations. At present, over 90% of our annual budget is provided by donations and fundraising efforts. ICVFD is not a department paid for by the Lake Kiowa POA, nor by government agencies like the State of Texas or federal government. And we are not a taxing fire district like you would typically get in a town or city. It’s pretty simple. Our funds, for the most part, come from hard work with fundraisers and from your annual, tax-deductible donations. With all of this said, it is extremely important that you, your family and your Senior Care of North Texas friends come out to our fundraiser on Sept. 17! Each year, this event gets bigger than the previous one. Food is cooked on site under the direction of Mike Merolla, and served fresh to your plate by our volunteers and firefighters. And I don’t want to get you too excited, but due to generous donations from our sponsors, there will be an “open bar” for those who have purchased meal tickets. These tickets can be purchased at the door, or in advance by contacting any ICVFD Auxiliary member. Once you’ve filled yourselves with mouth-watering food, relax, socialize and peruse the dozens of silent auction items that have been generously given to us to help our cause. The names of our donors are countless, but as I’m sure you have seen in the past, there are often high-quality and very valuable items to bid on in the silent auction. We also have some higher The Indian Creek Volunteer Fire Department (ICVFD) will be voting on revisions to its Bylaws. This voting period will run from Sept. 1 to Oct. 1. You may cast your vote by voting on the website (www.indiancreekvfd.com) or by casting your ballot by using the back of the fish fry ticket, which will be collected on Sept. 17 at the fundraiser. The information regarding the revisions will be available on the website. Should you have any questions, please call (940) 736-1277. Sam Moore profile items that will be auctioned off, live! Cash, checks, antique coins and gold bars will be accepted as forms of payment. But, if you happen to forget your treasure chest, credit cards will be accepted as well (though they do charge us a percentage to process the transactions). The event has far too much to sum up in this short article. All I can suggest is that you come out and support our volunteer fire department that supports all of us! Everyone involved—from the support members, to the ICVFD Auxiliary, to our firefighters, to our fire chief—all are volunteers and everything we do is completely voluntary! All of our members provide these services and equipment, essentially, for free. Just take a short moment to think.

Your Lake Kiowa Kiwanis Club members have completed another summertime project at Callisburg Elementary. This time, the Callisburg Elementary PTO joined with Kiwanis to fund and build a new playground for the children in the younger grades. Combined with the Outdoor Activities Center we built last year, the kids now have a fun and safe place to play, and a place to go to cool off. This project took about 75 manhours and 49 bags of concrete! (I don’t know when you last lifted an 80-pound bag of concrete, but it will make you question your decision-making when you do!) Pictured are the stages of completion of the playground as they occurred and some of the members who helped. If you see one of your neighbors, give him a special thanks for his work for the kids. As always, some helped who were not available for “picture time,” so it will be OK to say thanks to any Kiwanian you know. Obviously, these pictures tell the story of our accomplishment very dramatically from the old to the new, but there is no way to picture the dedication these guys have to make sure the kids in our area have a little better life. A lot of these same people help maintain the Lake Kiowa playgrounds as well. Let us know if you see any needed maintenance at any of the playgrounds. Current contact numbers are kept on our page on the Lake Kiowa website. The completed playground! Our aluminum can collection centers are one of the ways we help fund our projects. If you are a weekender, bring those cans from home! We have two collection centers – one is a caged trailer near the fire station and driving range. The other is a small fenced area near the intersection of Iriquois Dr. E. and Kiowa Dr. E. THESE ARE NOT DUMPING AREAS! Please dispose of your trash and solid waste through the standard processes. The can collections are to help the kids, not provide lazy people a place to dump. Even if you are not up to tackling summertime building projects, Kiwanis still has lots of fun things to which you can contribute. Come to a meeting on either the first or third Thursday of the month and we’ll buy your dinner while you learn how much fun you can have while helping our area children have a little better life.

The Gainesville Area Visual Arts (GAVA) Fall Art Exhibition and Sale is looking for artists in North Texas and Southern Oklahoma to join us for a great show! The Great Outdoors is the theme for this year’s annual show and is open to a wide interpretation that should provide for some interesting and beautiful work. Artists in all visual media are encouraged to submit their art from traditional to ‘far out’—two- or three- dimensional—it’s all welcome if it’s visual. Sculpture, pottery, textile work, photography, wood carving and a multitude of mediums are on deck already. The Great Outdoors Fall Art Exhibition will be downtown Gainesville in the Historic Santa Fe Depot Museum located at 605 E. California St. The show is free to the public and runs from Sept. 15-25. GAVA and the Morton Museum of Cooke County are the ‘producers’ of the exhibition. However, local businesses have stepped up and contributed to the prizes. Over $2000 in cash awards will be presented at the Sept. 15 reception and awards. This special evening is the perfect time to meet the artists and hear the stories behind their work. So join us from 6 until 9 p.m. at the Santa Fe Depot Museum for art, artists, libations and nibbles. Much of the entered art will be for sale. There will also be The Art Exchange where more original art not in the show will be available for purchase. For artists who would like to participate, art will be collected on Sept. 10-12 at the Santa Fe Depot Museum.

Dear Ladies, Summer at Lake Kiowa is fabulous! With all the boating, swimming, picnics and outdoor activities, we know why we live here. This is the MOST wonderful place. With September we start new beginnings. Vacations are over, or at least winding down. Grandchildren are back in school, so we reclaim our houses and the company is on their way home. You think it is time to relax, but no, it’s time for the first club meeting Sept. 8 at 10:30 a.m. And what a fun time we are planning! We start with new beginnings at the Lodge. There is a new Lodge manager, Donna Chafin; a new chef, Teotlahuilli Guadarrama (she said we could call her Teo, thank goodness); and we are so thankful to have Penny at the front desk to keep us all straight and calm. Now the stage is set, so let’s start our club’s new beginnings. The first act will headline Lezlie MacElroy as she presents the new yearbook with all club members listed. Terry Conaway has our budget ready and Julie Minter has the main attraction lined up. Teo has a delicious lunch planned and Carol Jacobsen with her group is standing by to take your reservation. The players all know their lines. We will be waiting to start when you arrive. Hugs, Jayne Sweet KWC Game Night FAVORITE DAVE TANNER RETURNS TO KICK OFF YEAR In keeping with our theme “Life Is Not a Dress Rehearsal,” Dave will describe “The Setting” like no other can with his program “Texas Attitude.” To quote his website: “This is Dave’s most requested program. Dressed as every proper Long Tall Texan should be, and singing Texas songs literally from A to Z, Dave charts the growth and development of our unique Texas perspective on the world. With tales of the Alamo, Apaches, and “yes” Aggies (and that’s just the “A”s!), Dave reflects the pride both native and adoptive Texans feel in our Lone Star State.” We hope you’ll make plans to join us as we as celebrate the beginning of another exciting year with our club.

The Garden & Nature Department resumes our meetings on the second Tuesday of the month, beginning on Tuesday, Sept. 13, and continuing through May 2017. Jaqui Osborn-Stewart will speak about adding color to the garden in fall and winter. Susan Hair is our hostess at her home at 1300 Kiowa Dr. E. Our social time will begin at 9:30 a.m., with the meeting starting no later than 10 a.m. As always, please carpool when possible to minimize the parking spaces needed. We are looking forward to a fun schedule, which appears in the KWC directory. Several field trips are planned that are within reasonable distance and travel time, hopefully enabling more people to participate. Our planned speakers are knowledgeable professionals with significant experience. And we are continuing our tradition of sharing a light breakfast that we all help to provide throughout the meeting schedule. New to our monthly update in the CommuniQué will be a monthly summary of gardening activities that should occur in the month. Additionally, we will highlight a plant each month that is suitable for use in the landscape in our area. As information becomes known about related events in our area, we will highlight them also. We welcome your input on topics of interest to you! We look forward to sharing information about our beautiful area throughout the year. Karen Ritter Sally Poker Scottie Rowland Here are this month’s tasks for the garden: Add new transplants or divide existing plants such as asters, rudbeckia and mums for fall color and lilies, coneflowers, daisies and other perennials for spring bloom; Plant cool-season vegetable transplants such as broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage and seeds for root crops like beets and carrots; Spread wildflower seed in prepared beds; Plant any needed warm season grasses quickly to enable roots to develop before frosts and freezes begin; Prune trees and shrubs as needed to shape them and remove dead branches; Add organic material to vegetable gardens; Be alert for rose rosette disease, which has swept through North Texas. Every expert recommends removal of affected plants to prevent further spread of the airborne mites. As yet, no known treatment exists to eliminate this systemic disease once it occurs in a plant. Put all plant parts in plastic trash bags and set them out for pickup; Also watch for aphids, powdery mildew, and fungal diseases and treat as recommended; Look for fall web worms. If reachable, remove branch tips and place in plastic bags for trash pickup.

Blooms from September to November in North Texas, with numerous daisy-like flowers of very small yellow disk florets, surrounded by many lavender-blue ray florets. Does best in full sun and will tolerate partial or dappled sun. Does very well in calcareous or sandy soils; most soils are well tolerated. Needs good drainage. Will need supplemental water during first growing season, then will thrive with existing rainfall. It is very drought tolerant. Nectar and larval source for bees and butterflies. Dry foliage after bloom provides cover to winter birds. Prune at beginning of spring. BOOK REVIEW Our first book review will be on Friday, Oct. 7 at the home of LaQuita Barton, 135 Hogan Dr. E.

These are all important items that could improve our community. It will be up to the voters to decide if we take on these important tasks or to disregard the need for another day. If we disregard, we must understand that at some point we will have to take on these tasks. You must ask yourself what is the answer for providing access to the north end of the lake in inclement weather and how are we to pay for long-term maintenance of our lake? There are many intelligent folks in our community. Let’s all step up to the plate and come up with a viable solution and not ignore these issues. As a community we must take care of our lake to maintain its existence for years to come. The question still exists: Can we afford to continue to do nothing for our biggest asset, Lake Kiowa? The Angler & Conservation Club would like to remind you that we have our annual fundraiser fish fry coming up on Sept. 3. Food service will begin at 6 p.m. and live music and festivities will end at 10 p.m. We have a face painter for the children. Auction items include a two-person bass buggy, wooden glider, guided fishing trips on Lake Kiowa, a sunset wine and cheese cruise, a fish fry catered by Backyard Bayou, November NASCAR tickets for two and more. We are also having a liquor raffle and several other fundraising games. As always, any donations you might be able to help us with would be great. Cash donations are also acceptable. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there for another memorable event. The lake has dropped a few inches in the past month and temperatures are high. As water temperatures rise, the fish become less active. We have seen a few floating fish around the shoreline, but not in enough numbers to concern us. Most likely these fish have underlying conditions that are exacerbated by hot water temperatures causing them to perish. The good news is we are in September and the lake is mostly full. No sign of unwanted algae or grasses anywhere in the lake and fall is right around the corner. Your club held a bass tournament on July 23. That morning brought a new competitor—Gidget Heiman. She wants to learn to fish and compete with us so she bought a boat, showed up and the rest is history. Gidget had to overcome many obstacles to bring in her catch. However, she made it to the weigh-in and succeeded in catching fish. Way to go, Gidget! We can’t wait to see you at the next tournament. The results of this tournament were as follows. Third place went to Jordan Grant with a 17.52lb stringer of five fish.

Craig Lamkin called the meeting to order at 8 a.m. Craig gave an update on Bryan Brown’s course condition report. There will be one last core aeration of the greens this year and it will take place near the end of August. It has been decided that the area behind the #6 tee box and behind the #13 green will be changed back to rough area. For a full report, see Bryan’s write up on page 37. Craig let the MGA members know that the board will be looking for new board members for 2017 and 2018 (2-year term). If interested in being a board member, contact Craig Lamkin, John Seefeldt or me. In an attempt to educate all golfers, Brown McCrory announced there will be a write-up each month in the CommuniQué about “Rules of Golf.” Each month a different topic will be chosen and written about that will explain a particular rule. Should be good stuff! John Seefeldt reported we have 475 members, with 314 in the hole-in-one contest. As of this writing, there have been five holes-in-one for the year. We had 97 golfers for the playday and the format was a “Hot Seat Irish Scramble.” The results were: 1st Gerald Smith, Brian Ansay, Keith Wilson and Bob Bergbower (127); 2nd - Randy Romines, Jim Fox, John Nash and George Gibson (128); 3rd - Isaac Andrews, Jay Houk, Greg Gotses and Ward McCain (128); 4th Jim Cicon, R. Johnson, Ron Metcalfe and Albert Arronté (128); 5th - Mark Gillings, Chase Grant, Jay Titus and Larry Wade (128); 6th - Joe Dorman, Mark Metzler, Sean Lonergan and Mike McCain (130); 7th - R. David, Larry Gingerich, Ronny Young and Scott Moody (131). Upcoming MGA events for the remainder of year are: Sept. 10 – Playday, two-man scramble A/Bs and C/Ds; Sept. 16-18 - Men’s Club Championship Tournament; Oct. 1, 2 - Member/Member Tournament; Oct. 8 – Playday, Devils Game 6-6-6; Nov 12 – Playday, Wheel of Fortune Blind Draw Scramble. Dec. 10 – Playday, Rotor’s Revenge.

September 2016 CommuniQue MGA NEWS 29 DID YOU KNOW ... 3rd - Isaac Andrews, Jay Houk, Greg Gotses and Ward McCain (128). Craig Lamkin (L) congratulates Gerald Smith on his hole-in-one. That Rule 6-6 in the "Rules of Golf" says that when you play in a competition you’re only responsible for the gross score on each individual hole? You’re not responsible for the addition to determine your total score or your total score at all. All you have to insure, regardless of who kept score, is that your gross score for each individual hole is correct. Once you are sure that the gross score for each individual hole is correct, you and the marker, the person who kept the score, must both sign the card and turn it in to the committee in charge of the competition. The committee is responsible for the addition of scores and the application of any handicap. This includes the determination and addition of Stableford points in a Stableford competition. The consequences of not following this procedure are twofold. At best, if you return a score for any hole higher than actually taken, the score as returned stands. At worst, if you return a score for any hole lower than actually taken, you are disqualified. The only exception to being disqualified is if you return a score lower than actually taken because you failed to include one or more penalty strokes that, before returning your scorecard, you did not know you had incurred. You are not disqualified in that case, but you incur the penalty prescribed by the applicable rule and an additional penalty of two strokes for entering the wrong score for that hole. The exception does not apply when the applicable penalty you incurred is disqualification from the competition. Bottom line? As our friendly PGA professional always tells us, put your gross score in the box for each individual hole and you can’t go wrong.

Cooke County United Way financially supports dozens of local agencies and community impact initiatives; however, the proceeds of the “Neighbors Helping Neighbors – LIVE UNITED” Golf Tournament scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 8 and the Red & White Unite pre-tournament dinner and auction scheduled for Friday, Oct. 7 have been designated to specific local agencies. The local volunteer Board of Directors of the Cooke County United Way approved the designation of the proceeds to support health initiatives that will benefit Cooke County residents. The following nine local agencies were specifically chosen to benefit from the 2016 Charity Tournament and dinner event. They provide programs and services that improve the physical and mental health, safety and well-being of all and include American Red Cross, Area Agency on Aging of Texoma, Boys & Girls Club of Cooke County, CASA of North Texas, DASH, Home Hospice of Cooke County, Meals on Wheels Texoma, SW Diabetic Foundation/ Camp Sweeney, and VISTO. Craig Lamkin, Vice President of the Board of Directors of the Cooke County United Way comments, “Having been involved with Cooke County United Way (CCUW) for almost five years, I’ve seen firsthand the impact CCUW has on the entire county. The fact that contributions stay local and it's neighbors helping neighbors is the concept that drew me to volunteer with Cooke County United Way. Through their funding models, CCUW not only provides annual funding to participating agencies, but they also have the ability to quickly respond to pressing needs throughout the county. Personally, the WGA charity events give me the opportunity to do a little more for the United Way beyond my annual contribution. We hope you feel the same and will participate in the golf tournament, join us at the Red and White Unite dinner, consider being a tournament sponsor or simply make a contribution. Regardless of how you may choose to participate, we sincerely appreciate your contributions to Cooke County United Way.” Kathy Reed, Lake Kiowa Women’s Golf Association (LKWGA) member, committee member and past board member of the Cooke County United Way notes; “This year the theme of the LKWGA charity golf tournament is “Neighbors Helping Neighbors Live United.” The funds raised by this tournament and the Red and White Unite pre-tournament dinner will be available to nine local charities. Every penny of this money will stay in Cooke County and will be available in the form of grants to help our neighbors. Who among us hasn’t known a Lake Kiowan comforted with end-of-life issues thanks to Home Hospice? Lake Kiowa has produced many outstanding CASA volunteers protecting children, many of whom have been victims of unimaginable horrors. VISTO may be best known for feeding the hungry in Cooke County, but they offer many other support services to people down on their luck. These are just three of the nine agencies who will be helped financially through the proceeds of these events. Angels live in Lake Kiowa and many of them find their way to these agencies as volunteers. I know who you are and your work is awesome!” TONY SMITH Cooke County United Way programs and services improve the physical and mental health, safety and well-being of all ages. The following information highlights four of the nine agencies. The remaining five agencies will be highlighted in the next issue of the CommuniQué.

Angie Hare September 2016 CommuniQue 37 LAKE KIOWA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION Security Report July 14 - Aug. 10, 2016 The real heat of summer has made its appearance in North Texas right on schedule, and are we not glad that, in most years, this happens after all the festivities surrounding the 4th of July have come and gone? The corresponding drop in activity levels at this time is also a yearly phenomenon, as the following account of this reporting period will reflect. Security patrol stopped two vehicles being piloted by unlicensed minors, administered three warnings for parking violations and made single stops for speeding and for not stopping at a stop sign. Eight motorists inconvenienced by car troubles were given assistance. Lake officers made fifteen stops for observed violations and wrote one citation to a jet ski operator for following too close behind another watercraft. On six occasions, members with malfunctioning boats were given tows back to their docks. Departmental logs also indicate that response by Security personnel was made to two residence alarms, a request for a welfare check, two complaints of disturbing the peace and two complaints of trespassing. There were two reported incidents of unauthorized entry and one in regards to an unaccompanied guest. A party of golfers playing on a closed course was asked to leave, a golf cart was removed from the walking track below the dam and an underage, unlicensed golf cart Golf Course Update Lost & Found Report August 12, 2016 Kia Keys on Purple Carabiner 28-Gal. Portable Gas Container Yellow Surf Board Tan Yeti Cooler Fishing Tackle and Box Green USA Golfer Towel Mazda Key I-SAM Master Sports Remote Gary Davidson Chief of Security operator was given escort home. A member was cautioned for putting trash out too early. Animal control activities included nine stray dog chases, two stray cats caught in traps and 10 varmint encounters. One dog was transported to the shelter in Gainesville after being held the requisite three days. The Cooke County Sheriff’s Office dispatched a deputy to the Guardhouse to assist Security with an intoxicated individual. A citation for Public Intoxication was issued as a result of this incident. Thirty-one ICVFD emergency runs were monitored by Security, including nine medical calls within the community. Seven EMS escorts were provided by Security patrol. Security First Responders were active on one medical emergency. Gary Davidson Chief of Security BE SAFE - BE AWARE When walking or riding bicycles on the streets of Lake Kiowa, please remember these guidelines: Walk on the left side of the road FACING traffic. Wear reflective clothing or carry a light at dark. Bicycles should travel in the same direction WITH traffic. REPEAT OFFENDER VIOLATIONS August 2016 Rule 3.2.7.c.-Repeat Offenders Within a 12-month period members, lessees, or contractors that receive two or more citations or a combination of two or more citations in the Special, Serious, or Major categories will be considered as repeat offenders. Multiple infractions issued during the same incident will not be considered as repeat offenses. Names of repeat offenders will be posted on the Lake Kiowa website and printed in the CommuniQué. By rule, the following property owner is classified as a repeat offender: Donna Chafin, Lot 842, a family member violated traffic laws in May and June. “You got to know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away and know when to run!” We are all probably familiar with these Kenny Rogers’ song lyrics. This adage is true in cards and can be applied to life. As I have mentioned in other reports, the wildflower areas we attempted to establish behind #13 green and #6 tee did not turn out as we had hoped. That being said, we decided to “fold” that hand and walk away. Those areas are now and will continue to be maintained as roughs. The bermudagrass is beginning to reestablish itself in those areas. We will continue to monitor that establishment, and if necessary we may have to sod some of those areas. We will hold off on any sod work until late September or early October when temperatures start to stabilize and the turf is not subjected to the extreme heat we have seen over the last few weeks. We have reached the home stretch of what I refer to as the 100 days of summer. We have seen several days with afternoon highs reaching triple digits. In fact, the heat index has reached as high as 110. With that being said, I think the golf course is holding up nicely. We have had a few “hot spots” pop up. Typically, we address those several ways. First, we like to get out there with roller base sprinkler heads and soak those areas. In fact, on some areas, we have run water all day to saturate those areas. Second, in areas that receive irrigation such as fairways and tees, we also make adjustments to the watering schedule through the irrigation computer. This is something that we monitor daily and adjust accordingly. Greens continue to be very good. We continue to apply low doses of complete macronutrient fertilizer weekly and are supplementing those with a micronutrient package every two weeks. Our final core aerification on greens will be performed on Monday, Aug. 22. Although unpopular with the everyday golfer, aerification is a necessary cultural practice. Simply put, the plant must have oxygen for respiration and the soil must have it for microbial activity. This is achieved by pulling cores. To prepare the greens for aerification, we will apply 0.5lb Nitrogen on Monday, Aug. 15. This boost is done to help speed recovery. After cores are pulled, we will perform a heavy topdressing, applying enough sand to fill all open holes. Tees continue to improve. In my last report, I mentioned that the nutsedge had become an issue on several tee boxes. At that time, I decided to wait until the turf was healthy before applying any fertilizer to the tees. That being said, we made our first application on Tuesday, July 19. Since then, I have noticed pretty good control. As I mentioned before, it may take multiple applications to get complete control, so we will be making a second application tentatively scheduled for Monday, Aug. 15. Fairways have recovered completely from the June aerification. We continue to make monthly applications of wetting agent. We have pretty sandy soils here at Lake Kiowa, and the water can wick through the profile pretty quickly. The purpose of the wetting agent is to make our irrigation more efficient by holding the water in the root zone a little longer, making it more available to the roots. We still have a few dry spots that pop up, but we are much better off than we were at this time last year. The rain events we had in July helped tremendously! During the week of Aug. 1, we added irrigation around the tree at #16 green/#17 tee. Now we will be able to get water down to the root ball without having to run a hose from #16 green. At the last LKPOA Board meeting, a golf course advisory council was established. This group will act similar to a Greens Committee and will act as a sounding board for all issues on the golf course regarding course conditions. I welcome their input and look forward to working with them. Please continue to sand your divots and repair your ball marks. See you around the course. Bryan Brown Golf Course Superintendent Labor Day September 5 38 CommuniQue September 2016 LAKE KIOWA PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATION Lodge Update August has been pretty busy at the Lodge considering the hot days we have had to endure. Our Patio construction has been underway for the last few weeks and things are looking fantastic! Our Grand Opening will be Sept. 4, 5 so come and visit us for some fun giveaways. We also have hired some additional servers to our team and look forward to working with them closely to ensure all our members receive outstanding service. There will also be some exciting events this month along with the Patio opening and hopefully some cooler weather. We are expecting a very busy month here at the Lodge. Please come out and enjoy the new patio and try our new items on the Patio Menu and some of our new and refreshing drinks that everyone will really enjoy. We will also be offering our Limited Time Fall Menu in September. This menu approach was a huge success and our fall menu will be a great hit as well! We look forward to seeing you all this month! Donna Public Works Update PUBLIC WORKS The new patio construction is moving along nicely. New gutters and some soffit repairs have been done on the Lodge to help prepare for this new addition. There will be some irrigation changes also to supply the new landscape around the patio and Lodge surrounds. PARKS AND LAKE The lake elevation as of Aug. 9, 2016 was 699.3, down 7/10 of a foot, but still better than years past. This makes the lake much more enjoyable for those with watercraft. The new surface has been applied to the tennis court, with pickleball lines also included. Mowing continues as usual in the parks and on vacant lots owned by the Association. ROADS AND BRIDGE Drainage improvements are in progress around the lake. There are still some concrete basins along the roads to be repaired and bids are being accepted to get started on these as soon as possible.
