SHORELINE RLPOA Special points of interest: January 2014 Attention 2014 Board Candidates Board Approvals - Page 2 2014 Budget - Page 4 Board Nomination Form - Page 10 New Residents - Page 13 Just for Fun - Page 13 Original Poem - Page 14 Neighborhood Watch - Page 15 Garden Club - Page 18 Codes Blotter - Page 20 Committee Minutes - Page 19 & 21 If you are interested in running for the Raintree Lake Board of Directors, please make your candidacy known to the office by January 15, 2014, in order to be named on the mailed Proxy Ballot. We will also publish your biography and statement, along with your photo, if you furnish one (deadline for the February Shoreline is January 15, followed by February 15, for the March Shoreline). Although nominations can be accepted (and will be added to the electronic ballot) until nominations are closed at the annual meeting on March 27, candidates who are nominated at the last minute (especially those nominated from the floor at the annual meeting) will be at a significant disadvantage for having missed the opportunity to have their information published in the February and/or March Shoreline, particularly because many members will have already voted electronically or by mail before the annual meeting. Board Nominee Form and additional information available on pages 10 and 11. Forms are also available at the office.

The most important item of business for the annual meeting is the election of three Class A (single family) Directors and one Class B (multi-family and commercial) Director to serve for the next two years. 9:00 am - 4:00 pm Saturday 9:00 am - 12:00 pm Office: 537-7576 Fax: 537-5621 825 SW Raintree Dr. LSMO 64082 office@rlpoa.com General Manager: Rachelle Vandiver manager@rlpoa.com Over the years, our Association has benefitted from the service of our Board of Directors. All were dedicated men and women who were willing to give of their time to maintain and improve our lake community. The RLPOA is a not-for-profit corporation which functions as a “private government” under the recorded covenants, responsible, among other things, for management of millions of dollars worth of lake and other common real estate and enforcement of rules to help maintain property values for all of us. Without a continuing supply of such dedicated volunteers to provide continuous governance and oversight, our community would cease to be the attractive and comfortable neighborhood that we enjoy, and property values would suffer accordingly. It is the responsibility of the Nominating Committee to identify and encourage good candidates to run for the RLPOA Board, and in that spirit we especially encourage new residents as well as established residents who have never served on the Board to consider declaring their candidacy for the March election. Further, it is neither fair nor prudent to rely too heavily on the willingness of incumbents to seek re-election. Forms are available at the RLPOA office (at the Clubhouse) or on page 10 of this issue of the Shoreline, to declare candidacy for the Board, or you can contact any member of the Nominating Committee to express your interest or ask questions. Give something back to your community. Both you and the community will be better for it.

On the 16th we distributed bags to each house, asking for food donations, and on the 23rd, we came around and picked up the bags left on front porches. Your generous donations made the food drive a great success and we look forward to doing it again next year. 12 Price Chopper Discount for adults: $2 off, good Thursday and Friday only Welcome, New Residents Just for Fun Darrell & Lisa Robinson 4800 SW Gull Point Dr. Jeremiah & Shannon McCord 5259 SW Raintree Pkwy.

What gave him away? Lincolnʼs face: Itʼs supposed to be on the $5 bill. ~Sun Chronicle A counterfeiter drives to a small town, enters a store, and hands the clerk behind the counter an $18 bill. “Mind making change?” he asks. “Sure,” says the clerk. “Ya want two nines or three sixes?” ~Readerʼs Digest CRIME PREVENTION MINDSET: “It never has and never will happen to me!” A thought similar to that has probably bounced through everyoneʼs head at one time or another. A feeling of complacency that since something “hasnʼt happened,” it “wonʼt happen.” Unfortunately, that is one of the key ingredients in victimization. Itʼs time to focus on those little things that we do (or donʼt do) that make crime more advantageous (or at least easier) for the burglars, thieves and other criminals. Taking a couple moments out of your busy schedule to lock a door, remove items from your vehicle or being more aware of your surroundings can make a difference. It all starts with a crime preventive mindset. As you leave the house for the day, ask yourself “If I were a burglar, how would I get into the house?” Certainly there are things that can be made only so safe, but did you lock all the doors and windows? Did the garage door close all the way? If you are returning after dark, did you leave a light on? How about your vehicle? In many cases we fill our back seats with shopping bags, briefcases, backpacks, purses and other valuables that are enticing to a burglar. We leave the GPS attached to the dash, sunglasses and money on the middle console and the keys under the seat or in the ignition. Ask yourself “If I were a thief at two oʼclock in the morning looking for stuff to feed a drug habit or to make quick cash on Craigslist, would I pick my car?” Removing those valuables or getting them out of plain view, not only will prevent their loss, but it will prevent a costly repair bill for a broken window or mangled door (Thatʼs if you locked the door and closed the window in the first place). Our own personal safety sometimes takes a backseat as well and it shouldnʼt! Do you look around before getting out of your vehicle at the grocery store or mall? Do you have a key ready before you leave the store or do you wait to look for it when you get to your vehicle? Do you walk with a partner when out late at night? Ask yourself “Am I a prime target with my arms full of bags and my keys in my pocket while looking down at the ground?” Maintaining awareness of your surroundings can be a turn-off for criminals and help keep you one step ahead of them. All these thoughts arenʼt meant to scare; they are meant to create a prevention mindset. A mindset that doesnʼt overpower your enjoyment of life but keeps you from becoming complacent. CRIME PREVENTION DO’S & DON’TS: Report suspicious activity immediately to the police. Do not call the Raintree office because they will tell you to call the police. Report all crimes to the police. If one resident reports a vehicle break-in and ten others do not, it is hard for the police to see a possible crime trend beginning in Raintree. Learn whatʼs normal on your street. Take a proactive stance against crime. Donʼt take the law into your own hands. Donʼt approach or follow suspicious persons. Donʼt hesitate to call the police. There have been several incidents here in Raintree where residents have chased individuals who they have suspected of committing a crime. Please stay safe and just call the police and let them do what they are trained to do. 15 Are you a “Snow Bird”? Many of our Raintree Lake residents fly south for the winter, or anywhere there is a warmer climate. It is important to let the office staff know if you are one of “our birds”. Often, we are unable to reach a resident about billing and boat slip leases. Additionally, we are the first contact of the Police and Fire Departments in the event there is a problem with your home. Please take the time to let our office staff know before you “fly south” and when you return. A simple phone call will do the trick! Muskrats It’s that time of year again to be on the lookout for muskrats. Please report any sightings of muskrats to the officeWe appreciate your help in assisting us with the control of these rodents. Do’s & Don'ts of Winter Any activity on the ice is strictly prohibited Please keep off the ice! One of Raintree’s family fun events is sledding down the dam. Please remember that cars cannot be parked between the signs on the dam. This is a City violation and you can be ticketed by police! All sledding activities are at your own risk. Please be safe! Stay Warm & Be Safe! 16 New Hours for Greenwood Post Office: Saturday: 8:30 - 10:00 a.m. Monday - Friday: 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. 1:30 - 4:30 p.m. Raintree Residents: Please update your contact numbers with the office so we can contact you in case of emergency!

CPR Trained (909) 967-7317 17 18 Beaming in Beantown The trip to Boston for a group of teachers and journalism students at Lee’s Summit West High School was educational, fun and competitive. The students - 15 in all - and teachers, Carol Ullery and Karrie Smythia, made the recent trip as part of a yearly journey to compete against more than 2,000 students at the Journalism Education Association/National Scholastic Press Association National High School Journalism convention. Ullery is the school’s Titan Scroll newspaper advisor and Smythia is the broadcasting advisor. “Ms. Ullery and my broadcast teacher, Ms. Smythia, are great at helping us with what we want to do in the future,” said Danny Poeschl, a senior at West who also dabbles on the broadcast side. Poeschl, along with Bailey Hamilton and Geena Conrad, were awarded a superior rating in the on-line news package category. Other LS West students capturing awards in Boston included Nate Mitchell, who scored a superior rating in photo illustration and Meg Britton-Mehlisch, who nabbed an excellent rating in commentary writing. Hayden Hulver received an excellent rating in the logo design category. Honorable mention awards went to Michelle Stout for sports photography; Hailey Skinner for newswriting; and Jesslyn Jakobe for magazine illustration. Ullery said the trip this year to the annual journalism convention was by far the best trip they’ve had in awhile. “This year was probably our most successful,” she said. “This year is a great group of kids with some real talent that I’m going to lose. A lot of these kids, the seniors, I’ve had for four years and some of them have done the trips with me for four years, so for me, it’s kind of sad because this group is a really talented group.” Excerpted from Wednesday, December 4, 2013 Edition of the Lee’s Summit Journal, pg. 1, 2.A RAINTREE VIEW MEETING MINUTES DEC. 11, 2013 The committee met at 7 pm at the clubhouse. Present were San, Brenda, Stan, and Allan. The projects for 2013 were reviewed. (1) Phase 1 of the improvement which includes the installation of the parking lot, rain garden, swale, trees, and shrubs has been completed. (2) Suggestions pertaining to the use of the Raintree View property have been submitted for consideration as addition to the common ground rules and regulations. (3) 34 perimeter evergreens that were destroyed by the drought of 2011 were replaced. (4) The proposed budget for 2014 was submitted. It included requesting that a multi-year reserve fund be established for future Phase 2 improvements. Phase 2 would add a new 3 tier playground, a shelter house, a walking trail with exercise stations, a monument, and additions to the parking lot and irrigation system if needed. The 2014 proposed budget also provides that a sealer be applied to the new parking lot after the concrete has time to cure. (5)The following Vision Statement for Raintree View Committee has been submitted for consideration: “Raintree View Committee facilitates the use, development and maintenance of Raintree View Property, located at 5130 SW Raintree Parkway. The View Committee assists in providing a safe, attractive and pleasant environment for children to play and families to gather without compromising or affecting the quality of life to neighbors. The View Committee ensures that future development of the Raintree View property is in keeping with the entire Raintree Community in mind.” This committee normally meets at 7 pm on the second Wednesday of each month at the club house or the Duck Pond Activity Center. However, no meetings are scheduled for January, February, and March. The next scheduled meeting will be at 7 pm on April 9, 2014. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:30 pm. Yost brothers get their bucks It was a proud day for a deer-hunting father. On a single day during Missouri youth firearms season, brothers, Aaron and A.J. Yost, of Lee’s Summit, each shot bucks. They are the sons of Andy Yost, who is pro-staff member of a web-based show called Midwest Whitetail. Yost took his youngest son, Aaron, out the opening morning in hopes of Aaron finally getting his first buck. Andy’s father, Bill Yost, had built a new ground stand that looks like a hay bale. They had seen a buck they call “Hooks” quite a bit and knew there would be a good chance he would show up. Shortly after getting into the stand, Yost spotted a nice buck walking on the edge of a cut cornfield a couple hundred yards away. He started using calls to mimic grunts and snorts made by bucks and it came running. About 75 yards away, the buck stopped and turned broadside. Aaron took aim and dropped him with a single shot. It was indeed Hooks, a nice two-and-a-half year old whitetail buck. That afternoon it was A.J.’s turn to hunt. After hours of sitting in a blind at another field, the hunters were running out of daylight when an older 10-point buck stepped into view, stopping 100 yards away. A.J.’s shot rang out, and that buck bounded towards the blind. Now 60 yards away, A.J. reloaded the rifle and dropped the buck with his second shot. “Normally it’s difficult to get one of my boys a buck every year,” Yost writes, “But two in the same day is a heck of an accomplishment. It’s nice when a well-thought-out plan comes together.” Excerpted from the Wed, Dec. 4 edition of the Lee’s Summit Journal, page 6A. 19 Codes Blotter FROM THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT: YOUR HELP NEEDED!
