We would provide timing for
these turns to accommodate most
waiting cars, but because of the
high volumes and traffic speed on
Harris, we could not provide
enough green time for all cars.
Therefore, occasionally (mostly
during PM peak), all vehicles waiting to make the left-turn would not
be served. Even when vehicles are
served by the first green, they
would likely have on average a
longer wait than they do now (or
might have after we coordinate this
signal with Sugar Creek). So it will
be common for the eastbound left
and westbound U-turners to wait 1 2 minutes to turn, (occasionally
longer in peaks).
We believe that many drivers
would be quite frustrated by this
change. Adding left-turn phases
would also result in increased stops
for traffic, which would likely increase rear-end accidents.
As staff continues the process of
developing timings, we will further
investigate the impact that we think
coordinated timings will have, and let
you know if this changes our thoughts
with regard to the issue.”

MALLARD CREEK GREENWAY:

The addition of this new and picturesque 1.6 miles of gracefully curving paved trail marks an important
milestone for the entire greenway system. It makes the Mallard Creek/

miles. It also includes a privately
owned gravel section running through

The new greenway section links

In Memory of Bill Joseph
Mr. Bill Joseph, a resident of Davis
Lake, died at home on March 10, 2006.
He had suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 10 years. Mr. Joseph was a
native of Cleveland before moving to
Charlotte with his wife in 2003.
Bill served his country in the US
Army in WWII. He was deployed in
Germany where he was wounded by
friendly fire. He received an honorable
discharge in 1945
Bill married his high school sweetheart after the war, and they became the
proud parents of five children: Sally
Branch of New Zealand, Debby Swanson and Mary Craig of San Diego, and
Bill Joseph, Jr of Vail. His son, Guy
Joseph, passed away in 2002. Bill was
a loving grandfather to his 10 children
and 2 grandchildren.
In 1978, Bill became an accredited
psychotherapy counselor. He founded
the Center for Creative Change and
had a busy practice serving families
and conducting business and industry
seminars. He made a positive impact
on the work and
personal lives of
his clients.
Additionally,
Bill became a
32nd degree Mason, serving as the
Master of his
lodge in Lakewood, Ohio in
1965.
Bill and his
wife, Maggie,
were married for
25 years. During that time, he was a
loved and treasured step-father to
Maggie’s children: Abby Tropiano,
Peter Andrews, and Amy Holmes
and Philip Andrews of Davis
Lake.
Maggie Joseph sent a note,
and asked the Communiqué to
convey the following:
“My heartfelt thanks to
all my neighbors and
friends here in Davis
Lake for their kindnesses. The many
cards, phone calls,
flowers and food
warmed my heart. I
take comfort in knowing that Bill was loved
and appreciated by
many.”
In memory of Bill Joseph,
the family is asking for donations to the DLCA for a memorial bench in his name. It will be
placed near the pool.

Can I place signs in my yard or on the
parkway?
Advertising, campaign, or announcement signs of any type are prohibited on the parkway unless first approved by the Davis Lake Community
Association Board. The only sign that
does not require approval is one real
estate "For Sale" sign, the “baby sign”
offered by the DLWC, or a “Lawn of
the Month” sign.

Spring is here, and many of you
are having work done to renovate or
update your homes. If you are using a
contractor, they may ask if they can
place a sign in your yard advertising
their presence. They also may place a
sign without asking your permission.
At this time, signs advertising
contractors’ work are not allowed. If
contractors wish to advertise their
work they can apply for an ad in the
Communiqué, or apply for approval to the DLCA Board.
Contractors should be directed to the www.davislake.org
website, where they may contact the Board or the Communique through any of the methods listed in the masthead on
Page 2.

Babysitting Co-ops
Davis Lake has a lot of
neighborhood clubs that are available to the residents. You may hear
from your fellow residents about
these informal settings that include
bunco groups, bridge clubs, dinner
clubs, or teen clubs. Two of the
neighborhood clubs, however, offer
not only social interaction but services! These are the Babysitting
Co-ops.
Babysitting co-ops allow you to
earn babysitting hours by doing
babysitting, no money involved.
Some Davis Lake families are even
members of both co-ops, allowing
them more flexibility and choices
when they need a sitter.
Call the co-ops listed below for a
membership packet or more details if
you are interested!
DL Babysitting Co-op - Contact
Cheryl Nowak or Jody Whittington
(see DL Directory for contact information)
Kidswap Co-Op - Contact Bonnie Holmes & Betsy Breen (see DL
Directory for contact information)
Ever need a baby sitter during
the day when all the teenagers are in
school? Do you want to go out on a
Friday night, but can’t pay $40 for a
sitter? Do you prefer to have an experienced adult care for your infant
while you are out? Do you want to
meet other Moms in the neighborhood or find other children the same
age as yours? A babysitting co-op
has the answer to all those problems!
