General Manager’s Report
JUNE 09, 2012
ROAD RECONSTRUCTION AT INLET:
Bill Shafer provided me with a memo and a set of
drawings and calculations that he had done in 1985
following a similar event. At that time, he provided three options. He proposed a bridge, low water
crossing or rip-rap along both sides of the road. We
discussed each of these options.
1. Low Water Crossing: Because of the amount of
traffic on this road, the blind corner and the hill, this
option would present an extreme safety hazard during a high fast moving water event. Twelve inches
of water crossing over a road surface is enough to
carry a vehicle. In addition, the low water crossing would constantly collect silt and require high
maintenance.
2. Rip-Rap: The road that is currently in place is
well beyond this design option.
3. Bridge: This option is a viable solution. It would
allow for debris to pass under the bridge without
obstruction. It would require the roadway to be
significantly raised for approximately 100-125’
on either side of the inlet. This design will greatly
limit access to the inlet park. Bill estimated the
cost of this project in 1985 money to be $120,000.
In 2012 money, the cost would exceed $300,000
and is therefore probably cost prohibitive.

REPORTS AND COMMITTEE MINUTES
Cliff Perry, Chris and I met to discuss reconstructing the roadway as it is now designed. If Lake Wildwood partnered with River City on this project, we
are estimated the cost to be approximately $17,000.
The current culverts would remain in place. Interlocking rock would be compacted around the culverts and approximately 3-4” of hot asphalt would
be used for the surface. The roadway would be
much as it was prior to the event. The small road
into the Inlet Park would also be replaced. Lakes
and Dams discussed reconstruction of the roadway
relative to additional work on Shaw Creek. The
Committee is in agreement that major redesign of
the roadway should wait until final design on silt
removal projects for Shaw Creek are complete so
that the designs cooperative to remove silt.
GARBAGE CONTRACT: The current contract
with LaRose Disposal will be up at the end of September. He is asking for a $.25 raise in 2013 and
another $.25 in 2014 for residential pickup only.
I would recommend that the Board approve extending this contract with the requested increase.
This is a very competitive rate for small rural haulers and comparable to rates in LaSalle and Peru.
Larger solid waste haulers use much larger trucks.
Lake Wildwood roads are not constructed to carry
the weight of the large trucks or to handle the dual
dropdown axles that slide around the corners. He
has been cooperative and dependable. I have only
received one complaint of missed garbage during
the past 15 months.
JERSEY BARRIERS: I purchased the seven barriers and had the crew place them at the inlet for
safety reasons prior to the Memorial Day Weekend.
If someone had gone off the road into one of the
holes, the liability to the Association would have
been tremendous since we were aware of the hazard. The cost was approximately $425.
CONCESSION STAND UPDATE: I am receiving many compliments on the food and employees
at the concession stand. People are very pleased
that they are open consistently and in the early
morning for people fishing. The gross income for
the concession stand Friday through Monday was
approximately $2,900.
GAS PUMPS AT THE MARINA: We have had
to replace the electronic key component for the
pumps 3 times over the weekend. Apparently, people are not reading the paper or the big sign on the
pump with an old key taped to it that says not to
use the old key. They are jamming their old keys
in the slot and ruining the electronics. The cost of
a replacement electronic component is $283 each
time it is replaced.

AROUND THE LAKE
The Lake Wildwood Dredge
What is the most expensive piece of machinery owned by Lake Wildwood Association? It cost $272,000 when purchased in 2002 and costs $400 a day to
run. If you answered, "the dredge" you are correct!
It was a bright and sunny morning with a soft breeze from the southeast as I
boarded the Lake Wildwood work barge with operator Tommy Nerad. I was
going to spend a few hours with him on the dredge working at the south end of
the lake.
As we approached the barge Tommy first inspected the lines where there had
been a problem the day before, leading up to the 52 acre site in the eastern edge
of Lake WIldwood property. The line is 3000 feet in length. Everything was in
order and then we boarded the dredge and Tommy inspected the fluid levels and
greased the fittings before starting the dredge's motor. The motor was humming
smoothly while Tommy raised the boom at the front of the dredge. At the end of
the boom there is a cutter basket which is the business end of the dredge. This
is where the silt is sucked into the pipe where it will be pumped into the holding area at the 52 acre site. Everything looked good and the boom was lowered
back into the water and the dredging began.
For the first 20 minutes water only is pumped to make sure there are no obstructions in the pipe. The dredge has three pylons on it which look like smoke stacks.
These pylons are raised and lowered by cables driven by hydrolytic pressure.
The hydrolytic oil incidentally is a special biocompatible oil used for lakes,
however, it comes at a cost of $80 a gallon. The pylon's purpose is to anchor the
dredge while dredging and for steering. To turn the dredge 180 degrees one of
the two front pylons is anchored to the lake bottom and the dredge then pivots
around that pylon. It takes five such maneuvers to complete a 180 degree turn.
The dashboard in the dredge's cabin has a screen monitor and several gauges.
The monitor gives the status of the machinery at all times of operation. There
are three main gauges. The larger gauge shows the pressure pushing the silt
through the lines. The other gauges show the status of the boom and the composition of the silt moving through the basket.
Tommy sits in a seat with finger controls which operate the dredge's boom and
movement of the dredge.
With a wind from the SE pushing the dredge adjustments had to be made occasionally to stay on course. I asked Tommy what he used for course direction.
He pointed to a birdhouse on a pole in the distant shore ahead of us. I asked him
about the new GPS equipment that will soon be installed. He said it would be
a big improvement with the GPS making dredging more efficient at its task and
that will mean money in the bank for the Association.
One last thing, as you dip your toe into the lake this summer and shiver at the
cold water, remember our maintenance crew who have to enter the frigid water
in late March and April to set up the lines for the dredge. They deserve our appreciation and thanks for keeping our lake beautiful.

A Bit About the Fish
Bighead, silver, and grass carp are known to be well-established in the Mississippi River basin (including tributaries) of the United States, where they at
times reach extremely high abundances, especially in the case of the bighead
and silver carp. Bighead, silver, and grass carp have been captured in that watershed from Louisiana to South Dakota, Minnesota, and Ohio. Grass carp are also
established in at least one other watershed, in Texas, and may be established
elsewhere.
These fish are thought to be highly detrimental to the environment in parts
of the United States. Because of these concerns, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service convened stakeholders to develop a national plan for the management
and control of invasive Asian carp (referring to bighead, silver, black and grass
carp). The plan was accepted by the National Aquatic Nuisance Species Task
Force in the fall of 2007.
Information from: Asian Carp Working Group, Aquatic Nuisance Species Task
Force (April 2006).
Any and all carp caught should be exterminated!
It is vital these fish remain OUT of our lakes.
Please remember it is a violation of state statute to take fish from one body of
water and place it in a different body of water. For more information, visit:

SUNBEAM | JULY 2012
Olé, what a wonderful time at the Spring Fiesta! We had some obstacles this
year as graduation and other events created a lower attendance, but we hope this
was a one time occurrence. All who attended reported having a wonderful time
and are looking forward to the next dance. We had both brand new and returning members attend this year. Thank you all for coming and supporting this
Lake Wildwood activity. The work and the time spent to ensure a fun evening
make it all worth it when members come out and support an event. We look
forward to seeing you all next year.
The taco bar, chips and salsa and nachos and cheese were a big hit. Everyone
stated that they loved the food which was donated by our dance committee.
One guest noted that they would like to do the same at their house to, "change
things up."
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the dance committee for their
relentless effort, time and gas in collecting over $1,000.00 in donations for the
raffle and door prizes. These ladies truly went the extra mile to assure all had
fun and went home with something. It is efforts such as these that truly complete the event.
The committee would also like to extend their appreciation to all of those businesses who made donations to the dance. As you can see from the picture,
there were many businesses from around the area that helped make this happen.
Please make sure to stop by and visit some of them!
Winners of the T.V. and the $100.00 lottery piñata was lot 1505. Winner of the

General guidelines for our membership to preserve, protect and enhance our fisheries.
• Bait - only use minnows which have been purchased from a reputable bait shop.
• Bait - never put any unused minnows back into
the lake.
• Bait - never use any minnows which have been
netted from any body of water on the LWW lakes
as you could be introducing unwanted and dangerous species of fish into the lake.
• Power wash the underside of your boat and motor
anytime you have used it on an outside body of water before returning to the lake to be sure that you
are not introducing any unwanted fish or vegetation
into the lake.
• Do not introduce any vegetation or fish from any
body of water into either of our lakes. Both lakes
are balanced ecosystems and you can cause great
harm to the lakes. Do not take fish from either Tanglewood or Wildwood and put them in the other
lakes as well.
• Become familiar with the creel limits as well as
how to identify each species of fish. The creel limits are listed above.
• Remove any carp caught on either lake no matter
what size. They can produce more than one million
eggs and can cause severe problems on our lakes.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
We agree with Dianna Loerger, lot 451, 100% with charging guests using amenity
passes for our facilities (May 2012). When guests are here using our facilities,
beaches, pool, etc. we have: increased electric fees, increased security on weekends
and holidays, increased water usages, increased garbage and clean-up, increased
pool chemicals, increased waste on beaches, increased soap and toilet paper, etc.
We, as members, pay for this! Who will pay when we need a new pool, new playground equipment, a new dredge, new maintenance equipment, vehicles, road repairs, tennis court repairs, inlet, etc.? The members will! Not the guests using our
facilities for free!
It's time to change and start having guests using our amenities pay a fee to help with
all the costs! After all, they use it too! We have had guests here and they couldn't
believe how beautiful it is here and they couldn't believe there isn't a charge to
come here. They said, "they wouldn't have a problem paying a fee, we have to pay
to use our pool in our own town." We, as members of Lake Wildwood, agree to
pay all fees passed by the Board. We shouldn't look for ways to get around paying.
We can't pick and choose what we want to pay for! Yet, there is a member on the
Finance Committee who refuses to pay the $10.00 fee for a car sticker which adds
to the shortages of revenue Lake Wildwood already has. If we charged for amenity
pass usage, maybe we wouldn't have to pay a $10.00 sticker fee!
Loves Lake Wildwood,
Rick & Sharon Houk, Lot 1407
Recently we received a nice donation for the Koinonia Food Pantry from the Lake
Wildwood weekend coffee group. What a nice surprise!
Koinonia Food Pantry (means "fellowship") serves families from Hopewell, Camp
Grove, Lacon, Sparland, Varna, Toluca and parts of Wenona and Washburn. During
April, Koinonia served 109 families, and during May, the pantry served 93 families.
The recipients are very grateful for their food each month. A record is kept of all
donations. Thank you Lake Wildwood weekend coffee group for your donation
-- that was very special!

I have been thinking about the changes here at LWA. Why do we have to have
change every two years or so because one or two Directors want it that way? I think
the proper thing to do is allow endangered bird species to have proper time allowances for hatching and fledging their offspring. As for the grass being the cause of
deer ticks that can cause Lyme Disease, that is silly. That is like saying gravel roads
cause flat tires. What happened to logic and common sense, oh yes, I forgot that
grass also causes coyotes to jump out and get people walking by. The grass is just
a vehicle that they want to ride to the result that they don't like tall grass. I happen
to like the look; ok I am a country boy who loves the natural things.
The individual lot owners have the right to mow or not to mow, the question I have
is: Why does LWA have to mow the common property that the birds use for their
nests? Is it for deer control? Ask maintenance how many fawns are killed by their
mowers. I bet it is far more than you know. I question if it is legal to destroy natural
habitat for endangered birds; I plan to contact the Audubon Society to find out the
rules. is it like the alteration of water flow that cannot be altered without a State
permit? I think this whole thing is just a plan to appease only a very few people by
using a scare tactic that isn't true. What about deer ticks living in your neighbors
lot that he doesn't mow; are you going to mow it anyway? You don't want to forget
trimming the trees as lots of ticks live there so they can drop onto you as you walk
by. This whole thing gets silly. If you have a problem with nature, why do you
want to be here?
What an abuse of power! This board has reneged on a previous policy presented
by members who had done a lot of research, presented a petition with numerous
signatures and offered a solution for the grass mowing which was environmentally sound. This just goes to show us that the membership does not count with
this board. We know that this isn't about grass, but about people working against
people. This board has continuously presented personal agenda with little regard to
the wishes of the people that elected them or maybe it was not a true election since
over 90 ballots had been throw out for various reasons.
As an example for what one person can do, a few years ago the U of I Extension
Service put in a lot of free hours to present a plan of native plantings & wildflowers at the back gate area, thus protecting the wildlife and saving gas from mowing.
On board with the project was Pheasants Forever, Master Gardeners and several
interested members. This project would have been a gradual endeavor with seed
and additional help donated to create a lasting habitat with very little expenditure.
Instead, one person presented this project at a cost of $20,000 and, of course, it was
dismissed as being way over budget. This is what we do here, one step forward and
two back, keeping us from ever getting anything done. We talk projects to death
without proper research or consideration of the membership opinions which, by the
way, obviously means nothing.
The statement, "words do not make it so" really applies in the above policy. This
policy was presented because someone may die of lyme disease. The ticks that
carry this disease are deer ticks that can live in tall grass, short grass, in the woods
or in your yard. This statement is a lot of nonsense and scare tactics in order to
get one person's way and the rest follow like sheep. Do your own research people!
Start paying attention to who is running for your board and making your decisions.
Another election is coming up. Make sure they are quality people that have your
interests and associations interest at heart and not some personal plot plan.

VIEW FROM THE CORNER
I think every July I refer to this month as the dog days of summer, I pondered what
else describes July in Lacon and quite honestly I can’t think of a better term. So…here
goes…Welcome to the Dog Days of Summer. So what is going on in Lacon this month?
Well, first off, Loy’s Antiques, it appears is back from their hiatus. They have posted
hours of being open every Friday and Saturday with a pretty decent sale on items if you
spend $10.00 or more! It’s a great hunt and peck kind of antiques store, with loads of
stuff! You should plan on spending at least an hour to see everything. Be sure to look
high and low for your next amazing find. I am not exactly sure what is going on with
Old Rusty Hinge, the store appears empty but I have heard that they may be reopening
as well. Paul’s Mall is still here and running kind of hit or miss hours… but if you have
to come into town it’s definitely worth the hit or miss. Just as an FYI, the marina in
Lacon has a free boat launch for anyone to use. There are boat slips you can rent for the
summer if you are interested, call city hall for details at 309-246-6111.
On Saturday July 21st, the Marshall County St. Jude Runners leave Lacon and head to
Peoria via their own 2 feet. There are nearly 40 runners this year, including me, that are
taking part in the 50 plus mile run. The run is set up as a relay with the runners taking
turns for various distances throughout the day. The run ends up at the Peoria Civic Center for the telethon. Last year this group raised nearly $40,000 for St. Jude with a goal of
$100,000 set for this year. Donations are being taken at the store if you are interested in
donating to this cause. The runners are meeting very early on Saturday morning to start
the day and anyone who wants is encouraged to come into town and cheer them on as
they start their journey. There are at least 2 geocaching sites in Lacon right now to promote the Illinois River Road Scenic Byway. There are handbooks available at the store
that has all the info about geocaching along the River Road Scenic Byway. Aside from
the gas to travel from site to site this is free family friendly event. You do, of course,
need a GPS or you might be able to even use your smart phone.
Be sure to check out the Lacon Home Journal Newspaper for up-to-date happenings in
town. Each week, a new issue is available for only fifty cents at the Shell Station and
at Jim’s IGA. Save the dates next month, for the Old Settlers Festival that runs August
23rd, 24th and 25th, Illinois’ longest Running festival happens right here in Lacon.
Check out Team Fudge as they compete in a cake decorating contest! More details to
follow next month! Until next month, see you at the corner!

appreciated! All went home a winner and looking forward to next year.

Don’t Move Firewood
Our forests are threatened by nonnative insects that
can kill large numbers of trees. Three recently introduced insects -- emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle and sirex woodwasp -- are woodinfesting species that can be transported long
distances in firewood. Once transported into new
areas, these insects can become established and kill
local trees. How you can help:
• Leave firewood at home.
• Use firewood from local sources.
• If you have moved firewood, burn all of it before
leaving your campsite.
