OUTGOING PRESIDENT’S COLUMN BY GIL DALEY
Thank you very much for the opportunity to
serve the neighborhood association as president the past couple of years! It has been a
great honor and pleasure to serve. I am very
proud of our neighborhood, what we have
accomplished, and especially the solidarity
and unity we showed in the face of some difficult issues during the past couple of years
(e.g., zoning, gas drilling, and quiet zone to
name a few). Seeing neighbors coming together and looking out for one another repeatedly during my tenure
made me proud to live here.
We are in great hands with Hank Bourke this year as our president.
We also have a talented and dedicated Board this year, including our
Area Representatives, 1st V.P. (Matt Poston), 2nd V.P. Linda Thomas,
secretary (Kathie Connors), general counsel (Bryon Hammer, Esq. of
Bourland, Wall & Wenzel, P.C.), and treasurer (John Kellogg of Kellogg & Kellogg, P.C.). Committee members Mike Rankin & Ed
Oertel (Website), Jane Smith (4th of July), Carl Wentworth
(Restrictions & Covenants), Murphy Kleuser (Property Management),
Dina & John Kellogg (Newsletter), Brian Divilbiss & Amy Chairez
(Welcome Committee & Annual Dinner), Laurie MacGregor (Pet
Registry & Neighbor of the Month), Cheryl Dielman (Yard of the
Month), Hank Bourke & Tom Murnane (Advertising), and Andrew
Sage (Holiday Décor) also deserve our respect and gratitude.
We also have the luxury of Tom Murnane’s (Emil Award Winner and
former president) experience, continued guidance, and determination.
George Muckleroy, my next door neighbor, also served you very well
as my predecessor. He passed the torch to me around the time he and
Georgann found out the stork would bring little Rob soon. Stephanie
and I are very excited to expect our first visit from the stork this
month. We will be proud to raise our daughter, Amelia, in our
neighborhood.

President’s Column By Hank Bourke
Thanks to all who contribute to make our neighborhood a great place to live! Those whom represent
you on the Ridglea Country Club Estates Homeowners Association are trying to make this a better
and more attractive place to call home.
Current Projects: The front entrance is getting a facelift at the present time. New shrubs, flower
beds, fencing and neighborhood lettering is in the works. The RCCEHA Board has had many positive comments on the changes to the front entrance to this point and your feedback is appreciated.
Future Projects: At our RCCEHA meeting in October, we discussed the possible replacement of the
wooden fence along the access road. We will appreciate you feedback on if you think it needs to be
replaced. We will need to raise funds if we decide to replace the fence. Please pass on comments to
your Area Director.
Drilling Update: The drilling site is being prepared and the drilling should start in the near future.
Also, we received a positive result in our request to have the gas pipeline moved further away from
the houses on Winding Way on the westside of our neighborhood. The proposed pipeline route will
transport natural gas south of the well site under the creek and it will go along the west side of the
utility easement toward I-20. Contact your Area Director if you have any questions about the proposed new location.
Website: Mike Rankin continues to do a great job heading our Website. Please be sure to check the
Website (www.rcceha.com) regularly for updates about what is going in the estates.
Current Openings: We are very fortunate to have many great neighborhood leaders. We would
greatly appreciate some more leadership in the following roles that are open: Areas G & M Directors!
Please consider serving in one of the these vital roles. If you are interested, please contact me at 817738-3132. Thanks ~ Hank

Hootin' & Tootin' by Kathie Connors
The Engineering Department of the City of Fort Worth has advised our homeowners
association of the following:
The City must wait for approval and review of our Quiet Zone from the F. R. A.
(Federal Railroad Administration). When final approval is received, the City
will officially notify the railroad our Quiet Zone is in effect. Approximately 21 days from the notification,
engineers should discontinue any sounding of the train whistle, unless an obstruction is in view. The City
is anticipating the end of December as an effective date. Monitoring by the City will begin following that
date. Reports may be forwarded to the City citing any violations.

RCCE Neighbor of the Month
July 2008
Sparky Adams
Sparky was nominated by his down the street neighbors Ray and Barbara
Valentine. Their nomination email included these words: “I would like to
nominate someone who is a great neighbor; that would be Col. Marvin
“Sparky” Adams (Retired). He has lived in the neighborhood for many
years and when we moved in about four years ago, he was one of the first
people to come over and introduce himself and welcome us to the
neighborhood. Since that time he has been so very kind to pick up our paper almost every morning and place it on our front porch during his morning walk. He does this for several of the neighbors along his walk. If you
happen to be out that early, he is always very jovial. He and his wife, Connie are both very kind and pleasant neighbors and we are glad they live
nearby.
Thanks to the Valentines for nominating Sparky and
Thanks to Sparky for making RCCE a great place to live!
August 2008
Cheryl Dielman
Cheryl was nominated by Carolyn Wehba during a phone conversation.
Carolyn stated that she appreciates all that Cheryl does for the Association
such as being the Area V Representative and heading up RCCE’s
Calloway’s Nursery Yard of the Month program. But most importantly she
appreciates Cheryl for having been a walker for several years now in the
three day walk of the Susan G. Koeman walk for breast cancer. Carolyn
who has several family members that have been affected by this terrible
disease, appreciates all the time and energy that Cheryl donates to help
fight the disease and to find a cure.
Thanks Carolyn for nominating Cheryl and…..
Thanks to Cheryl for her contribution to make
RCCE a great neighborhood!
August marks the end of the “Chick-Fil-A” neighbor of the month program. Thank you to
Chris Kasper for implementing the Neighbor of the Month Program. Also, thanks to Mike
and Gayle Janicek for sponsoring this program and supplying the Chick-fil-a Free Meal
coupons for the winners. Again, stop by their store at 4913 Bryant Irvin Road and tell them
thanks for actively supporting YOUR homeowner’s association.

Fall 2008 Good
Neighbors
Greyland Goff, age 9, and his sister
Evan Pearl, age 6, are our newest
Good Neighbors. The RCCE Pet Registry nominated these two children for
their initiative, hard work and kindness
which resulted in the return of Mama
Dog and her three puppies.
Mama Dog and her six week old puppies had wandered from Wind River
Court where their owners were visiting
with relatives before returning to military duty in Iraq. The biggest puppy
became separated from the other dogs.
Greyland and Evan Pearl made and put up posters and then cared for the dogs until all the dogs
were once again reunited with their very happy owners. The Pet Registry was most impressed
with the workmanship of the posters.
Jason and Wendy Goff are Greyland and Evan Pearl’s parents. The family lives on River Valley
Court.
Dr. Craig Verwers with the Rotary Club of Ft. Worth, SW that is
in charge of the US Flag Program (he heads up the Boy Scouts
that puts out the flags on holidays in RCCE) will be at the Annual
Dinner for you to renew or sign up for being part of the program. Also he will be in the neighborhood the weekend prior to
the Memorial Day weekend going door to door to solicit interested neighbors to sign up for the flag program. His phone number is 817-763-0261.

NOTICE FROM RIDGLEA COUNTRY CLUB
Sanford Green, President of Ridglea Country Club, has asked that we please
remember that the golf course is for golf only. Walking, playing, and other
activities are prohibited. Also, golfers are playing until dusk, this creates an increased potential for someone walking or playing on or around the
course to be injured by a golf ball.
The club has added "No Trespassing" signs around the perimeter of the course
to remind non-members that the golf course is private property and is intended for the use of its members.
Please remember that the golf course is a private country club, and that for
your protection as well as the safety of RCC members, the golf course is for
golf only.

DOGS AND CATS ON THE LOOSE
Dogs running loose on Ridglea Country Club Drive have become a serious concern. (One dog had 5 cars
stopped on RCCE Dr. while it ran back and forth and sometimes down the middle of this busy street.)
People worry about these animals being hit and injured or killed. Walkers and joggers do not want these
animals, no matter how cute and friendly, following them.
The cities of Benbrook and Fort Worth by code require all dogs to be on leashes when outside their fenced
yards. Fort Worth city code requires that "A cat must remain within the boundaries of its owner's yard".
Also, please be aware that remains of a few cat’s and raccoons that were attacked by coyotes have been
found in near the golf course bridges.
So please be kind to yourselves, your pets, your neighbors, and the Pet Registry - KEEP YOUR DOGS
ON LEASES. DO NOT ALLOW YOUR DOG TO RUN LOOSE ON BUSY NEIGHBORHOOD
STREETS. ID YOUR PETS.
Thank you ~ Laurie MacGregor, RCCEHA Pet Registry

RCCE PET REGISTRY REMINDER
Please ID all pets, even the little pets that “never get out”. ID tags cost less
than $8 each and enable pets to be returned quickly to their yards and owners.
The quick return of lost pets saves much heartache and anxiety. Our pets have
not developed the skills to survive in a world with coyotes and automobiles. In
the RCCE this year, one cat and one dog have disappeared. These animals
may have found new loving homes with people who do not know how to return
