Lakes of the Four Seasons
Lake Drawdown
Big Bass Lake and Lake
Holiday will be lowered approximately five feet this fall
so the boat launch for Lake
Holiday can be replaced. All
boats must be removed from
both lakes by October 1st
this year.
This will be a perfect time
for property owners with
lakefront properties to make
the necessary repairs to their
shorelines if needed.
Lake Engineering
The Sediment Analysis
and Watershed Evaluation
Project will begin soon. We
have hired Cardno Inc.; an
engineering firm located in
Walkerton, Indiana. The purpose of this project is to col-
lect enough data and information to help us decide on
a long-term plan and budget
for future lake and watershed
projects.
Thursday Night Concerts
The Thursday Night
Concerts at the Clubhouse
began on June 2nd; the
weather has been cooperative. A reminder to those attending the concerts, you
are not allowed to walk into
or out of the Clubhouse restaurant with alcoholic beverages. Garbage cans have
been placed all around the
grounds and I ask concert
goers to please use them.
July’s Summer Concert
Listing
July 7 - Bam
July 14 - Mr. Funnyman
July 21 - Pawnz
July 28 - The Allen Wronko
Band
All concerts will take place
in front of the Clubhouse beginning at 7 p.m.
July 4th Holiday
The July 4th celebration
will take place on Monday
and as in year’s past will be
hosted by the LOFS Lions
on the Clubhouse grounds.
The event will be kicked off
with a parade beginning at
noon starting at South Lake
Shore Drive and ending at
the Clubhouse parking lot.
I am requesting that there
be no throwing of water of
any kind from the parade
marchers or spectators and
please be careful when tossing and collecting candy.
The fireworks display,
presented
by
Melrose
Pyrotechnics, will begin at
dusk on July 4th. The fireworks will again be shot
off over the lake from the
Clubhouse grounds. This
year music will be synchronized with the fireworks.
The Clubhouse and upper
grounds will be closed all
day while the fireworks are
setup.
I ask that all residents
abide by the Fireworks resolution. The resolution is in
accordance with Indiana
State law and prohibits the
use of fireworks in LOFS except during prescribed times.
A copy of the resolution is
available on the web site at
www.LOFS.org.
The POA Board of
Directors has approved
charging the $5 donation to
all vehicles without POA
stickers entering into the
community between the
hours of 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on
July 4th. The Fire Force will
be collecting the fee.
Temporary Golf Cart
Rental Permits
A reminder to residents
who are renting golf carts
and using them to get around
the community during the
Fourth of July holiday weekend. If you are going to do
this you must purchase a
temporary golf cart permit
from the POA office. The fee
for this permit is $40 and is
good for four days this year.
If you are caught driving one
of these rental carts without a
temporary permit you will be
issued a citation with a fine
that will cost more than the
permit fee. These carts must
have working rear tail lights
and head lights to be operated on the roads after dark.
Thank You, LOFS
Departments
Please remember while
you are celebrating the
holiday, there will be
several people working
hard for your enjoyment.
These people include the
Operations
Department,
Rick Cleveland
Clubhouse
Restaurant
Department, Golf Course
Maintenance Department,
Lakes Department, Pro
Shop Department, 19th Hole
Restaurant Department, and
the Security Department.
Take just a short time out
of your day to THANK these
people for all of the hard
work they put in every year.
I want everybody to have
a great July 4th and I encourage all to be careful and have
a SAFE celebration.

be responsible neighbors
Be a responsible pet owner, pick up its waste
Before you step out of
your home to take your dog
for a walk, remember to grab
a plastic bag and some paper
towels; whatever is required
to safely and efficiently handle and hold pet waste, and
pick up the area after they
have done their “business.”
Also, do not let your pets
run free from your property
to do their duty. Your fellow
residents will appreciate this.
Either case is a fineable
offense, whether you allow
your pet to deposit waste on
a neighbor’s or POA property. Let’s face it, don’t we
want all property owners to
be “good neighbors”? That
virtue needs to extend to pet
owners as well. Thanks for
your cooperation.

House & Garden
By Timburley Ecklund
I hope this finds you enjoying the great outdoors! If you
have a little free time on the
last Tuesday of the month at
noon, stop on up and check us
out. We’d love to meet you.
Each month The Lakes of
the Four Seasons House &
Garden Club enjoys some
form of entertainment. This
job is done by the vice president. Throughout the years,
we have had ladies who not
only accepted the challenge
but have also surprised us
each month with the educational, entertaining, and simply irresistible programs.
This brings me to Carol
Jeslis, who has done a superb
job on finding programs that
add joy to the membership.
Hats off to you Carol, keep
up the great work!
May’s entertainment was
Bernie Glim. You may know
him and his band, Bernie
Glim and Country Roads. Let
me tell you, the ladies were
completely astonished at his
talent. With his musical styling, Bernie took the ladies to
Poland, Italy, Spain, America,
and Ireland. He has a great
sense of humor and was just a
hit with everyone. The ladies
sang along, laughed, and at
times were speechless when
Bernie sang a Willie Nelson

and Johnny Cash duo. Clubhouse Early Bird

LOFS future firefighters
show ‘the right stuff’
The Lake of the Four
Seasons Fire Department &
Auxiliary hosted their 1st
annual “Open House Picnic”
on Sunday, June 5, and had
a great turnout. We served
food for a $1 and offered
kids’ games with prizes
and had a huge Dalmatian
Jumpee.
The highlight of the day
was the “Kids Firefighter
Skills Challenge” that was
set up by firefighters Jon
Buczek, Amanda Stagowski,
and Rob Wentz. Those participating needed to 1) step
through a flat ladder carrying
a wrapped hose, 2) knock
down a cloth door and crawl
thru, 3) crawl thru a cone
path, 4) drag a body to safety, and 5) use a fire hose to
knock down a bucket.
They were rewarded
with a sticker patch of accomplishment. They were
assisted by firefighters Phil
Buckingham, Edgar Lopez,
Ryan
Burgess,
Kevin
Heerema, Chris Diaz, Mike
Grelecki, and Jason Gikas.
We plan to repeat the
event next year on the first
Sunday of June. We thank
our sponsors The Little
Market, Jewel, Tarimoro in
Lake Station, Krazy Flip’N

After taking a hiatus the
LOFS Watersports Show will
be making its comeback. The

The show is set to kick off at
5:30 p.m. directly behind the
Clubhouse.
Come out and support
our community’s residents
as young as 4 years old as
they will take to the water to
entertain the crowd on skis,
wakeboards and even bare
feet! Spectators from the
Clubhouse will be able to en-
joy the pig roast as well as the
bands that will be performing.
With the help of the Lakes
Department, the northern
part of Lake Holiday will be
‘no wake’ for this hour long

Goose Relocation
On June 15, 2016, the
Lakes Department had its
first Goose Roundup and relocation for the season.
Thirty-five geese were
rounded up from Big Bass
Lake. They were herded into
a large cage on a trailer and
transported to Willow Slough
Fish and Wildlife Area in
Morocco, IN. The geese
were released into their new
environment where they will
finish out the season. Since
most the adult geese will re-
By Mike Talley,
MS4 Coordinator
Get Involved
The Lakes/MS4 Department is dedicated to making
the entire community’s experience with our lakes as enjoyable and safe as possible.
We cannot make this happen on our own. It will take
the entire LOFS community
to pitch in and help. We patrol the lakes to keep them
safe, work to maintain the
appearance and health of our
lakes, and we work to limit
the pollution entering the
lakes. But we can only do so
much. Much more can be accomplished with the help of
turn to their original nesting
area in the spring, next year
we may relocate the same
geese again.
Then, why relocate them
in the first place? It’s all
about goose feces. An adult
goose can produce between
1 and 2 pounds of feces per
day. Multiply that by the 35
relocated geese and that’s
a lot of …., well you know
what I’m talking about.
We discussed in earlier
articles that phosphorus and
nitrates are some of the pri-
mary nutrients entering our
lakes which cause excessive
plant growth. Those plants
include various types of algae, including Blue Green
Algae, which not only looks
and smells bad but it can be
a health hazard. Geese are
responsible for about 20% of
these nutrients entering our
lakes.
When the geese do their
business on the beaches, this
produces a whole different
problem. For the same reason dogs are not allowed on
the LOFS residents. What
you do at home, around the
community and on the lakes
can make a huge difference.
Get involved. Find out
what you can do to help. See
us on the web at www.lofslakes.com, or on Facebook at
LOFS Lakes. Attend month-
ly meetings of the Lakes
Enhancement Association
held the first Tuesday of the

The beaches, parks, and lake

and non–residents not accompanied with a property owner
found using these amenities
will be asked to leave.

the Restrictive Covenants:
No dwelling house, storage

not only makes the beaches
look nice, but also exposes
the underlining sand to the
ultra-violet rays of the sun
which kills bacteria including E-coli. To further help

past the surface as fast as
possible to give the turf a
fighting chance. The spiking
of fairways and greens are
the most beneficial agronomic practice we can do to help
the water penetrate. We have
also changed the fertilizer
program to lower the amount
of nitrogen applied to the turf
on an annual basis. Now the
fertilizer is mainly applied as
a foliar spray so it will be absorbed directly into the plant.
This also stops any fertilizer
leaching into the lakes. These
changes will give the turf a
fighting chance if it gets real
hot and wet.
This summer has been very
dry, therefore I use a mix of
technology and experience to
decide when and how much
we need to irrigate the turf.
I have a soil moisture reader
that has three inch sensors that
penetrate the soil which gives
me an accurate reading of the
percentage of moisture. I try
to maintain the greens at 14%
of saturation and the fairways
at 22%. I have found that for
this golf course this gives me
the best compromise between
turf health and playability.
Many golfers want the fairways as dry as possible so the
ball will roll farther off the
tee. The issue is the Poa annual grass is a shallow rooted

The Church of the Four

(COFS) is pleased by the
growth of the Community
Garden. The garden boasts
over 1,200 square feet of
raised garden beds with
plants abounding. There are
more than 50 tomato plants,
cucumbers, squash, beans,
onions, potatoes, collards
and much more, growing in
the garden. Our mission is to
provide 100% of the produce
to families in our local community.
The produce will be available at the church beginning
July 12 on Tuesdays and
Thursdays – call the church
office for times at 219-6637803. Families that may not
have access to fresh produce
are welcome to drive in and
pick it up for free. If you
would like to be a part of the
project, contact the church
office at 219-663-7803. We
are also seeking sponsors to
help with the cost of the project.

that it wants to die in the hot
summer and come back in the
fall. Therefore if it dries out
completely it will die, not go
dormant like your yard if you
don’t water it in the summer.
A golf course with dead spots
all over the fairways would
affect the playability and aesthetics of the golf course.
The only project I have
planned for the month of July
is having a contractor clean
out the ditch on number 10.
The dry conditions will allow
the project to be completed
with minimal damage to the

to stop the banks from eroding into the lake. Any other

Monthly Update
Security Department
By Craig Philp,
Director of Security
The first four days of July
will begin the celebration
of our Community’s 50th
Anniversary; which means
the 4th of July weekend just
got a little longer for some
people, including this department. I want to remind those
who are planning to drive
around from party to party to
not over-indulge themselves
with alcohol. Your safe and
responsible actions could
prevent those around you including yourself from getting
seriously hurt.
As a reminder, there will
be a group collecting money
on the 4th of July once again
at the main gate. This group
will be collecting $5 from
all non-residents entering the
community during the hours
of 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. We ask all
residents who are planning to
have company to advise your
guests of this fee and further
ask them to have patience
during this busy timeframe
of people entering the community.
We want to wish everyone
a SAFE and HAPPY 4th of
July.
Monthly Update
Women’s Golf
Association
By Marge Wilke,
League Secretary
WGA Announces May
League Results
The WGA League was
unable to play on May 5 due
to rain; however, the balance
of the month provided good
weather for participation by
our members.
Eva Simic, 2nd Vice
President 18 Hole League,
presented the following
awards: May 12 was an Even
Steven event and the winners included 1st place by
Use of Fireworks
We need to remember
our combat veterans during
the 4th of July, especially
when it comes to the use of
fireworks. There is a good
chance there is someone
living near you that suffers
from PTSD (post-traumatic
stress disorder.) The loud unexpected explosion from the
use of fireworks can be the
catalyst in triggering a PTSD
episode.
I have talked with some
veterans who are suffering
from PTSD and I found that
it is not that they want everyone to stop using fireworks,
it’s more they just want to be
aware that it is going to happen so they are not surprised
by the loud noise.
Take the time to find out if
there are any veterans living
near you, and talk to them.
Ask if there is a particular
type of firework that is upsetting to them; let them know
when you plan to light them
off, and maybe choose an
area to light them that is less
likely to alarm them. It’s the
least you can do for the ones
that fought and are still fighting for you!
Under Resolution number 2007-06-11 the Lakes of
the Four Seasons Board of
Directors has set some limitations when it comes to the
discharge of fireworks within
the community. Discharging
fireworks on POA property is
strictly prohibited and these
properties include, but are
not limited, to streets, parks,
golf course, public grounds,
and the lakes within the
boundaries of the Lakes of
the Four Seasons.
Please also be aware of
the dates through the State
of Indiana for the use of approved fireworks to be discharged within the Lakes of
the Four Season Property
Owners Association: between 5:00p.m., and two (2)
hours after sunset on June
29th, 30th, July 1st, 2nd, 3rd,
5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and ending date of July9th. On the
4th of July Indiana State approved fireworks can be used
between the hours of 10:00
a.m., and midnight.
If officers locate anyone
discharging fireworks after
the approved hours set by the
State of Indiana, they will be
issued a warning for the first
offense. Any and all other offense by the same subjects
will result in citations being
issued and items being confiscated for destruction.
Covenant Letters
By now, some residents
within the community will
have received property violation letters from this department. These letters serve as
a written warning notifying
you that there are certain
violation(s) on the property
that need immediate attention. The letter does not include an attached fine, but
merely a timeline to have the
violation remedied.
If, while following up on
the properties with visible
violations, it is found that the
residents who have not taken
actions to fix, replace, repair,
or clean up the violation, citations will then be issued in
accordance to the POA adopted Fine Structure.
