RidgeLake Shores Lake Updates
Submitted by Larry Gates
Both lakes are doing well and enjoyed the late May showers. RidgeLake pool water level remains nearly full and the fish seem
to be doing well. A recent fly fishing trip on the lake sparked some
type of hit with nearly every cast. Hungry bunch they were that
morning! Fish appear to be steadily growing and in good shape. As summer is upon us though, this lake in particular is starting to
attract more attention from RLS owners and non-owners. Several
times already we have had to ask individuals to leave, re-trailer their
jet skis, stop fishing, and release fish in their possession. Almost all
infractions have been from non RLS property owners. Anyway, if
you see individuals you don’t know using the facilities please stop
and introduce yourself and cover the lake rules if necessary. Worst
case you meet a RLS property owner you did not previously know. Other the other, you help preserve the lakes and parks and keep
maintenance costs down.
Trophy Lake level is still continuing to slowly rise even with the
increased evaporation rates this time of year. During the late May
rains the level rose approximately 4.5” that week. It appears another
6’-7’ or so is still required to reach the desired spillway level. All of
the initial planned stocking has been completed, plus some that was
not. If you receive the Google group emails you already know about
someone introducing other species into the lake. This is a real concern
given maximum fish carrying capacities per acre of water. Since the
original stocking program had already sought to nearly maximize
such, any further introductions this year and next could seriously
jeopardize spawning, growth, and survival of the originally stocked
forage and bass. Since one unplanned species introduced appears to
be bullhead catfish (sometimes known as mud cat) this could likely
affect the clarity of the water. Not only could this change the look of
the lake but it also impacts many other natural conditions vital to a
healthier lake. We introduced channel catfish into RidgeLake earlier
this year which is a larger impoundment, in its second production
year, and can support this preferred catfish fare by many.
Now for the RLS Fishing Club update. By the time you receive
this issue we should have held our first official meeting on Saturday,
June 24 at the pavilion on the main lake. Billie Cooper, the fishery
biologist/consultant we utilize to provide lake stocking and to

Neighborhood Patrol
We would like to welcome three new volunteers to our team. Leslie
Dunn, Kathy Smith and Sharon Spinhirne have all volunteered to
help with our neighborhood patrol. This will really help with the
effectiveness of our efforts by filling voids when others can not drive.
Also, we have had an incident involving someone trying to break
into a resident’s garage. There was evidence that someone tried to
pry open the garage door. Please be observant as you drive through
the neighborhood and help us protect our homes and neighborhood. Contact the patrol with any information on suspicious activities or
incidents. We will use this newsletter to communicate concerns
and to help deter crime in our community. Help keep your home
and belongings safe by turning on your outdoor lights at night, and
keeping your garage doors closed and locked.
Remember to update your contact information if anything has
changed since the purchase of your property.
We need to have on file, updated addresses and phone numbers.

Ridge Lake Shores POA Biographies for August Board Elections
Leslie Dunn
I would like to serve as a POA Board member to help shape our
neighborhood into one of the most desirable in the area. We live in
a beautiful setting and are located in an up and coming area. Due
to the many homes yet to be built and the newness of our lakes, this
Board is in the unique position to help determine the direction in
which our neighborhood will grow. Due to the expansion of FM 2978
into Fish Creek Road, a strong board will be necessary to ensure our
neighborhood is protected and any concerns are addressed. I have lived in RLS for 2+ years. I am currently on the RLS
Architectural Control Committee as well as a volunteer member
of the RLS Neighborhood Patrol. As a residential and commercial
construction lender with 10+ years of experience, I am very
comfortable reading and reviewing plans and specifications for
new construction. As I now only lend to commercial real estate
construction builders through the Government’s Small Business
Administration program, I will have no conflicts of interest with Real
Estate agents and/or residential construction builders.

Larry E. Gates
Professional Summary: Twenty-nine years of diverse operational,
accounting, administrative, human resources, contract, facilities, and
information systems management including: Operational control of a
professional service company experiencing tremendous growth, Rollup/Start-up of Dot.com administration and operational infrastructure,
Ten years public accounting administrative management at local level,
Two years legal administrative management, Six years administrative
management at national public accounting level, Twenty years in data
processing operations management including information systems,
office automation, networking and hardware consulting, One year
independent consultant with emphasis in professional service firms
Currently I serve as Chief Administrative Officer with Harper
& Pearson Company P.C., one of the largest local Certified Public
Accounting firms in Houston, TX. The firm provides tax, audit,
accounting, book keeping, consulting, litigation support, internal
auditing/SOX consulting and computer support services. In this
capacity I direct financial/accounting administration, contract
management, operational management, general administrative
support services, human resources, employee benefits, facilities, and
technology departments. I additionally manage mergers/acquisitions
and direct resulting integrations. This position reports directly to the
managing shareholder/CEO yet it requires total independent control
of these areas. During my tenure the Firm has experienced 20%
plus annual growth. I am well accustomed to growth, development,
expansion, best practices, and communication issues.
Given my extremely diverse business background I uniquely
possess all of the qualifications for a Board member. My experience
will allow me to serve in any position required and to also provide
input and assistance to other Board members if desired. Bottom
line my entire professional career has been one of getting it done. When I say it will be handled, IT WILL BE. I care very much about
RidgeLake Shores and its respective owners. It can and should
be what we desire if properly managed both administratively and
fiscally.
---------------------------------------- On a personal note. I am a native Texan and have resided most of
my entire life in N. Houston. I know this area well, it is home, and it
always will be. My alma mater is the University of Houston where
I have bachelors of business administration degree in accounting. In my professional career I deliver a business minded approach to
solutions while working on consensus building. I believe I can do
the same for our POA.
My wife (Sue) and I purchased our lots back when there were
no paved roads in RLS and it required 4X4’s just to get around on
some days. Our home was completed Dec 2004 thus we currently
reside here and have seen past and current developments. This home
is intended to be our final home and I desire the subdivision to be
everything promised and more. I have been an active co-chair of
the lake committee since inception and have represented the POA
through several projects related to the lakes, some of which were
and are still rather large. This required developing relationships

with BlueGreen from sales, maintenance personnel, and including
the Regional VP. I have direct contact with BlueGreen contractors
for lake design, construction, stocking, remediation, and repairs. I
assisted with the coordination of efforts outside of the Board while
providing updates to the entire community.
I also stay abreast of local/state issues particularly those involving
taxing authorities, property valuations, and TX legislature-appraisal
cap efforts. These are items which will impact RLS even greater
in the future as the county and state begin to improve the roads all
around us. What I will strive to accomplish as an elected Board Member:
• Enhance Board communications and accessibility to the POA
• Increase frequency of open Board meetings
• Improve Architectural Control Committee reviews/delays
• Deed Restriction enforcement
• Board review of all contractor services, and establish guidelines
for RFP’s
• Involvement with surrounding communities and share
experiences/expertise
• CKM performance evaluation
• Just get it done and stop talking about it, (decisive efforts)
COMMUNITY EMERGENCY
RESPONSE TEAM – CERT
Cy-Fair CERT classes now have 53 team members in your
neighborhood. These new team members are not only from
Copperfield, but Katy, Bear Creek, Cypress, Alief , Tomball, and
Sugarland. More trained CERT members will be needed in each of
these areas to form teams.
CERT training is designed to prepare you to help yourself,
your family, and your neighbors in the event of a catastrophic
disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to
help everyone immediately, you can make a difference by using this
training to save lives and protect property.
This 8 week course (24 hours of training) covers basic skills that
are important to know in a disaster when emergency services are not
available. You are taught skills about disaster preparedness, small fire
suppression, urban search & rescue, medical operations and more.
With training, practice and working as a team you will be able to do
the greatest good for the greatest number of people after a disaster,
while protecting yourself from becoming a victim.
In 2003 President Bush asked Americans to volunteer to serve
others. The Harris County Citizen Corps www.harriscountycitizencorps.
com was created to help our citizens find volunteer and training
opportunities. CERT training is just one of the programs created. Traing courses are provided throughout Harris County. There is no
cost for this course. A backpack of supplies is provided to all CERT
team members during training. This program is brought to you by
Harris County Judge Eckels.
