Presidents Message
April 9, 2006 - I would like to give a special thank you to the Events
Committee for another great social gathering. We also appreciate
all of those who participated in the Easter Festivities and making
this another successful community affair. These gatherings are
not just for the fun activities, they are necessary to help bolster the
effectiveness of the Neighborhood Watch. If you are interested in
joining the Events Committee or any of the other committees, you
can contact the board at RLS-POA@googlegroups.com, or you may
contact the Chairperson of that committee directly.
A few reminders:
If you plan to build a fence, pool, pier, or any out-buildings (barns,
storage buildings, garages, etc.) on your property, please consult your
copy of the restrictions and contact CKM Property Management to
obtain an application for approval from the Architectural Control
Committee (ACC). Many structures have to be approved by the ACC
prior to building. If you have constructed any of these structures
without prior approval from the ACC, please consult the restrictions
and contact CKM or the ACC with any questions.
We continue to have a problem with pets running around the
neighborhood. Section 3.14 of the restrictions states: “There shall
be no more than four (4) adult dogs per household. Dogs must be
kept in a kennel, dog run, or fenced in area that confines said dog(s) to
that area. Dogs will not be permitted to run loose in the Subdivision
and must be vaccinated for rabies according to Montgomery County
requirements.” We are aware that one of the dogs is from a house in
Montgomery Trace and we are dealing with that accordingly. Please
restrain your pet(s) in a proper manner. Failure to do so will cause
the board to contact animal control to have the pet(s) picked up at
the expense of the owner.
In addition, personal consumption of lake water is prohibited due
to the fact that the water from the wells filling the lakes is paid for
from the association dues of every property owner. Therefore, please
do not withdraw water from the lakes for personal use.
Finally, Motorized vehicles, including, but not limited to 4wheelers, ATV’s, motorbikes, go-carts, or unauthorized vehicles, are
not allowed on the dams or in the reserves around the subdivision.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our community a clean and
friendly environment.

April Lake Report
Ridge Lake has been providing quite an enjoyable blue gill crop
over the past few weeks. The blue gill and bass have spawned, and
the blue gill are still quite active. They are in the 4-6”size range There have been some bass caught in the 10-12” range and at least
one that was near 3 lb. This later one was probably a refugee from
Ebner lake, upstream from Ridge Lake, as was the ½ lb. crappie
caught in this lake. With the cat fish stocked last fall, we have quite
a diversity of fish in the lake, and they seem to be in the size range
we would expect for the 1st year.
Trophy Lake is slowly filling, and is near normal pool minus 8’.
Lake level gains are about 2” per week. At this rate, you can calculate
that we will not have a full lake until late year, but this does not
take into consideration the expected rains we hope to get this April
through June. I have noticed that we do not seem to get much run
off from rains of less than 1”, but for every inch above that, we get
about a two or three to one ratio of run off. In other words, a 3”
rain will add the 3” that falls on the lake surface, plus another 6” of
runoff, for a total gain of 9” on the level. The gains will slow as the
surface area widens, so predicting when we will finally get a full
lake is impossible. Larry and I, along with the photography of Tom
Priestly, will keep you informed as we move into summer.
The bait fish stocked: in Trophy are really active, and at anytime
you can see them hitting the surface feeding. There are several home
owners on Trophy that have started feeding the blue gill and shiners,
and this may actually help get an additional spawn. The bass are
scheduled to be stocked on April 11, and we will provide pictures of
that event.
After the first couple of years of maintaining a catch and release
program, we will need to monitor populations so we can restock
as needed to maintain a balanced fishery. Since the cat fish are not
expected to provide surviving spawn, we will need to stock additional
7-10” fish as we remove the 2-3 pounders in later years. I would
appreciate any catch reports to be funneled to Larry Gates or me
through e-mail so we can get accurate estimates on size and numbers.
As we roll out the fishing club, we will also introduce a catch record
form that we can utilize for accurate record keeping.
We may be getting some fishermen from the neighboring
subdivisions. We need to make sure that this is controlled. Since
maintaining a good fishing lake is not something that naturally
occurs, we will need to spend time and money to monitor, restock,
and control weeds. This comes from your subdivision annual dues,
and should be the sole privilege of owners and their guests. Allowing
others a free ride, will put additional pressure on the lakes and result
in additional funds that must be spent to keep our lakes going. Your
help in policing this is appreciated.
The organizational meeting for the fishing club will occur in the
near future. Notification will be sent via e-mail. Contract either
Larry or myself if you’re interested in joining this group.

Neighborhood Watch and Patrol
Hello all! Our neighborhood patrol needs assistance. We will
continue to be as visible as we can, but we need your help. A few of
your neighbors have been driving for more than a year. Unfortunately,
we’ve lost a few, but we’d like to welcome our two newest members,
Marcus Veloso and Daryl Vorderbruggen. Our neighborhood very
much needs more volunteers to help protect our investments. If
you can spare any amount of time, please contact me for more
information.
This watch is a terrific way to meet neighbors and make new
friends. We will meet on a regular basis, probably every few weeks,
to keep everyone informed. We can use your assistance even if you
have little time to drive. Our objective is to break the watch into
smaller sections of the neighborhood. This will make our watch
much more effective, and it will reduce the time spent on patrol.
As a reminder- please keep your homes well lit at night. This method has proved to deter crime. Keep your doors locked and
garage doors down. Make it difficult for the bad guys!

Thanks to the efforts of Bobbie Bennett, Peggy Priestly, Sharon
Bonnette and Angie Bokanyi, the Easter Egg-Stravaganza was a
huge success! Despite the windy, cool conditions, neighborhood
kids and parent’s enjoyed the games and prizes. The Easter Egg
Hunt produced overflowing baskets of colorful candy-filled eggs.
Everyone had a great time, and I truly appreciate those who were
involved with planning, decorating and filling all of those eggs!
Bobbie Bennett has stepped down from the chairperson’s position. She has been very active in our community and will continue to serve
on this committee as well as the patrol committee. Thanks so much
for sharing your time and talent with the neighborhood Bobbie!
Committee member, Sharon Bonnette, has agreed to accept the
chairperson’s position. This committee is vital to our community,
so please consider volunteering in some capacity! A survey is included in this issue of the newsletter, so please send
your responses to Sharon Bonnette , sharonbonnette7@aol.com, or by
phone (936) 588-0977. Some comments received for “social events
you would like to have” are: pot luck suppers; chili cook-off; Bunco
or other game night; couples progressive dinner; wine tasting on the
lake; kayak races; fishing derby. Hopefully, MORE RESPONSES,
will be returned and the results will be listed in the next newsletter.
