New Gate Procedures
URGENT – ARE YOU READY FOR THE GATE CHANGES?
As you may already know, a major upgrade to the gate entry system is planned for
November 3, 2014. The entry phone systems will be re-wired, replaced with new
equipment and all data erased and re-entered. Be advised that if you have a remote clicker, gate entry card, a four-digit gate access code, and your name entered into the phone directory at the gate, they are all scheduled to be deactivated
from the gate entry system effective November 3, 2014. You must provide specific access information in writing by November 1 to continue activation.

Editor Needed
Starting in January, the Lakes needs a resident to take over this Castle
Rock Times and the website (lakesatcastlerock.com). Steve Schuldenfrei
make it known to the HOA Board members that he will not run for another
term on the Board and has resigned his position as newsletter publisher /
editor effective with the January issue (published December 2014). Steve
cited other outside responsibilities that will be expanding next year as a primary reason for his decision to cut back on all other tasks.
If you would like to step up to this important communications job, please let
Steve know at [email protected].

To assist with this conversion, you need to provide the
information described below. If you have not already
provided information via internet (no longer available)
or by mail, please contact Ashley or Daniel ASAP at
520-297-0797 and they will email you the proper form
to submit. Many owners have already responded. In
the meantime, your current clicker, card and 4-digit
access code will be good through November 3. As of
that date they will not be activated in the system
unless the required information has been received.
Important Questions & Answers
Q: What information must I provide?
A: An email survey and mailing had been sent out earlier to all owners requesting information regarding your
entry clickers, cards, preferred name and phone number on the entry directory etc. This information must
be returned by November 1. If you have not returned
the requested information, please call Ashley or Daniel
ASAP and they will email you the details and instructions or assist you over the phone.
Q: What will be happening on November 3?
A: The gate system will be completely deactivated so
that new wires and new equipment can be installed
over a two to three-day period. All clickers, cards and
directory information will be deactivated. The gates
will remain open during this 2-3 day conversion period
due to the necessary work. When the system is reactivated on either November 5 or 6, the information you
have provided will be activated in the new system. This
is why you need to provide the necessary information,
and make any exchanges of your clickers before this
date. See exchange information below.
Q: If I submitted my information earlier via internet
survey, do I need to re-submit information.
A: No, but you will be contacted soon if some information is missing or incorrect. Please continue to read
the important additional information.
Q: What if I fail or forget to provide you my remote
clicker or card serial number?
A: It will be deleted on November 3 and will not be reactivated until you provide the serial number(s). This is
why the information needs to be sent in by November
1. You can send in multiple forms as long as the information is received by November 2. If you provide the
correct serial number for your clicker or card by November 1, it will be reactivated when the new system
is back in operation on either November 5 or 6.
Q: What if my remote clicker does not have a label on the
back showing a serial number?
A: If you cannot furnish a serial number due to no label
attached, or the number is illegible, you may obtain a new
clicker at no cost and still use the old one until it is deleted from the system on November 3.
Q: What if I currently have a remote clicker or card that
doesn’t work?
A: You can trade it for a new one at no cost.
Q: How can I get a new or replacement remote clicker before November 3?
A: Staff will be on-site at the Recreation Center to handle
replacement remote clickers and cards on the following
dates: - Tuesday, October 28 – 4:30-8 pm and Thursday,
October 30 – 5-7 pm If you need an extra clicker or card,
the charge will be $35 per clicker and $15 per card. NO
CASH OR CARDS. Check only - payable to “Lakes at Castle
Rock HOA”
Q: Can I fill in the necessary information form in person at
one of the above scheduled on-site dates?
A: Yes, but make sure you bring your remote-clickers and
cards so the serial numbers can be recorded. You will
also be required to verify your address.
Q: I have difficulty in understanding how to identify the
serial number on my clicker or card. What should I do?
And how can I get additional help?
A: Information on identifying the serial numbers was included in an earlier mailing to all owners. If in any doubt
please call Ashley or Daniel at 520-297-0797. They will
directly email you the instructions and form.
Q: Will my four-digit entry key code also change?
A: Yes. It will also be deleted on November 3 and you will
be issued a new four-digit code just prior to that date.
Q: Can I pick my own four-digit code or keep my old code?
A: No. For security reasons all codes will be changed for
each home and re-issued to you by email. Later, you may
request a code change, but this also will be selected by
the security system.
Q: Why don’t the four-digit gate codes allow entry during
the evening and night?
A: The Board of Directors limited the hours for gate codes
in the past due to security breaches, outside uninvited
guests, vandalism, distribution of codes to others etc.
Access codes are therefore limited to between 6 am and
6 pm. If you currently have a temporary code due to recent gate problems that allows unlimited entry, this will
also be deleted on November 3.

will advertise the sale
in local media and
open the gates at 7:00

The Landscape company is now in the
process of going through extreme measures of providing our community with a
lush green lawn for the winter season.
I would like to thank everyone, in advance, for obeying the signs and restrictive tape, by staying off the new winter rye grass while it is
now coming in, (germinating).
I, on behalf of the board, would like to extend an invitation
to anyone that is a home owner in our community, to consider serving on our board. If you are interested, please
contact any board member or Cadden Management Company.
Enjoy the cooler weather,
Anything you don't sell and you don't want

Kathy’s Pet Corner
Trick or Treating is
right around the
corner. Did you
know Halloween
costumes on people can be very
frightening for
dogs? Masks are
especially frightening, as the eyes
and mouth are covered. We often forget that dogs see
things differently than we do, so altering our appearance is confusing to a dog as they rely on our body
language for cues. They may growl, bark, and even try
to attack if they can’t understand what is in front of
them. Plus, some of the noises our decorations make
also can upset them. Consider conditioning your dog
with treats while exposing them to the scary sights
and sounds, and if you have a reactive dog you may
consider putting them in a crate or back room with a
treat.
reunited with his owner and is safe at home.
Once, at an adoption event, two teen girls came up to
the dogs we had out at a local pet store. The dogs
backed away and started barking and displaying fright
behavior. I realized that not only did the girls’ appearances scare them (tall Cat in the Hat hats), they were
making a strange sound on the floor with their roller
shoes. Their natural appearance was altered and the
dogs didn’t know how to handle the change. I gently
asked the girls to quietly move away, take off their
shoes and hats and then re-approach. The dogs then
accepted them as normal. I do sometimes hear ‘my
dog doesn’t like men in hats’…that’s why!
Scoop out approximately 1 Tablespoon of dough and
roll into a ball. (depends on your dog’s size) Place on
cookie sheet and flatten slightly.
Autumn is an ideal time to also stock up on canned or
fresh pumpkin! (not pumpkin pie mix) I buy the large
cans and then freeze it in ice cube trays. I use it for
my dogs if they get diarrhea, or have stomach issues.
Pumpkin is full of fiber, very beneficial to digestion of
dogs. A frozen pumpkin cube mixed with cooked rice
can soothe an upset tummy. I also make dog treats
with pumpkin (recipe below).
There have been Bobcat and Coyote sightings inside
the neighborhood within the last couple of weeks.
PLEASE supervise your small animals when outside.
I’d like to thank the teenage girl who helped me round
up little Patch, the stray white and black dog. He was
ALL NATURAL DOG COOKIES
Mix in blender until pureed: 1 C Canned or fresh
cooked pumpkin, 1 raw apple chopped, 2 raw carrots
chopped, ½ C parsley.
When well blended, mix into a bowl with 1 C of Garbanzo bean flour and 1 C Rice Flour. Add or subtract
flour as needed to make a thick dough. Weather often
determines consistency of dough.
Bake at 275 until dry and crunchy. This may take an
hour or two. You are slow baking to get them evenly
dried. I freeze a bag of these to keep them fresh. Dogs
love them!

Making Your Landscape Water Efficient
By Jon Gibson, Complete Landscaping
If you want your plants to grow and to thrive in the
desert climate, you have to figure out how to use
water the right way. Use
the following tips to ensure that your landscape
is as water efficient as
possible:
Think Porous Thoughts
If you include porous hardscape features into your
exterior design, you can save water when it rains
so you do not need to use so much from the hose.
Materials like gravel, pebbles, and even concrete
pavers without mortar will
help you soak up some
extra water when it rains.
Use Plants that are Native to the Area
Create Plant Groups
Native plants have

Watch the Size
You should try to stay away from plants that will
grow too big and hinder your water conservation
efforts. Landscaping features like shrubs might
require more water than other plants, which could
needlessly increase your outdoor water usage. Try
to stick with plants and trees that will not grow so
big that they require much more water than other
plants in the yard.
