Meyer called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. The invocation given by Pastor Stoney Hamilton was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. A moment of silence was then held out of respect for the victims of 9/11. Roll Call: Present: Blackburn, Johnson, Kirk, Meyer, Purdin, Robinson and Mgr. Cahall. Absent: Kinney (ex.) and McDulin (ex.) Minutes: The motion to approve the minutes of the August meeting as published in the September Waynoka Newsletter was made by Purdin, seconded by Kirk and passed by those present. Treasurer’s Report (Betty Purdin): The Treasurer encouraged everyone to pick up a copy of the financial report. Purdin noted that page one “shows all of the WPOA’s financial status”. She suggested that if anyone has a problem with the report to contact her or Mgr. Cahall. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): • Work on the 2012 budget has begun. Cahall will meet with each department manager to discuss budget needs and concerns. The finance committee will then prepare the 2012 budget to present for approval in December 2011. • The Fall Meeting and Conference of the OLCA (Ohio Lake Communities Association) will be held September 28 & 29 at Candlewood Lake near Mt. Gilead. Registration applications which are due Sept. 21st are available at the Office for anyone interested in attending. • Progress continues on the campground upgrades. The work to increase the number of full hook-ups in the campground will be completed over the winter. • The road paving is finished for this year at a cost of about $66K. The decision to pave with ‘tar & chip’ rather than asphalt was made because of the cost. Eight miles of ‘tar & chip’ can be done for about the same money as one mile of asphalt/ blacktop. The plan is to set aside monies each year toward paving Waynoka Dr. with asphalt when this is needed in the future. There will be no need to borrow money at that time. • Adams Brown Recycling will be providing Lake Waynoka with two recycling bins (one each for mixed containers and mixed paper) at their cost of about $18K. The bins will be located behind the Lodge/Lounge near the trailer holding the aluminum cans collected for the Fireworks. • The new edition of the State of Ohio road map now includes Lake Waynoka in the index thanks to the efforts of Aristotle Roussos. Lake Waynoka is located at E-13! • Cahall shared that he has done an audit of all lots that are being mowed by the Lake staff. Invoices have been sent to property owners who were not being billed previously. Any questions related to this mowing audit should be directed to Cahall. Other Reports: Security (Paul Cahall for Ranger McJennett): • Chief Ellis is now on military leave and will be gone for approximately thirteen months. • There were two burglaries of ‘weekend’ homes in August. Items such as flat-screens, booze, food, etc. were stolen. These cases are still under investigation and leads are being followed. All property owners are asked to report any behavior or activity they consider unusual or of concern to Security. • All drivers are reminded to pay attention to the new street signs. They need to especially observe those signs at the three way stop around the fish fountain and flower bed on Waynoka Dr. near the Lake entrance. Citations will be issued begin ning in the near future. • Speed remains of significant concern to Lake residents especially walkers and bikers. Officer G. will be ‘running radar’ more often as time allows. Citations will be issued to violators under Ohio State Law. All criminal and/or traffic citations issued at the Lake go through the Brown County Courts and apply toward points on one’s driver’s license. Long Range Planning (John Buskey): The survey committee shared their report. The job description committee is nearing the end of their work on the employee job descriptions. The website was reviewed. Discussion related to a possible storage area continued. Lake Advisory (Jim Meyer): The MAD Scientists & Associates will be conducting an engineering survey on Wednesday, September 14th to assess the entry of Straight Creek into the Lake and the erosion of the southern bank and the culvert under Waynoka Drive. Meyer noted that it will be necessary to lower the Lake beginning November 15th to empty the sewage lagoon. The total suspended solids analysis is still forthcoming. Nominating (Dick Bankes): Bankes introduced himself and Prescilla Redick as the new Election Inspectors. He thanked Valerie Bullock for her service in the past. Bankes reminded property owners interested in filling the vacated position of Rudy Lindy whose term expires in April 2012 to return their applications to the Office by Friday, September 23rd at 4 p.m. The deadline for property owners in good standing to return their applications for positions on both the WPOA and the WRWSD Boards of Trustees to the Office is Friday, October 7th at 4 p.m. Volunteers are needed to help prepare ballots for mailing (Oct. 17/18) and to count returned ballots (Dec. 1/2). Contact Bankes (937-446-2116) or Redick (937-446-9385) to volunteer. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 5) Waynoka News - 4 Since1953 CAHALL BROS., INC.

Waynoka News - 5 Campground (Walt Robinson): The Campground’s Halloween event will be Saturday, October 15th. Robinson asked that everyone consider helping with this event and providing supplies. Set up for the Halloween event will begin October 8th. Contact Robinson at 513-290-6892 or wrobinson214@aol.com to help either monetarily or voluntarily! Robinson thanked the Watersports Club for donating $200 toward the event. The Watersports Club (Steve Johnson): Johnson thanked Mgr. Cahall, Boat Patrol Officer, Kenny Wilson, and the Security and Maintenance Staffs for their assistance with the Labor Day Party and Ski Show at the Beach. The Club is now planning their Christmas program for the veterans at the VA Home in Georgetown and the New Year’s Eve Party at the Lodge. The Chapel (Pastor Stoney Hamilton): Pastor Hamilton shared the Chapel’s gifts of $1000 each to Sardinia and Russellville Elementary Schools for ‘back to school’ supplies for those children in need. He noted that the parking lot was completed at the Chapel. He encouraged everyone to attend services at the Chapel as well as the Revival on October 7, 8 and 9 at 7 p.m. Civic Club (Betty Purdin): The next Civic Club meeting is Sept. 27th at 7 p.m. in the Lodge. Shawnee Squaws (Betty Purdin): The next Squaws meeting is September 14th at 10 a.m. The meeting will be followed by a work session to make crafts for the Annual Shawnee Squaws Craft Fair on Sat., Oct. 15th from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. Lake Committee (Prescilla Redick): Redick announced the dates of the last three bass tournaments for the season including the Classic (by invitation only) on October 8th. The Committee donated $600 to replace the cabling of the buoys at the Beach. A large order for fish (bass, perch, bait fish, etc.) to stock the Lake will be placed soon. Lion’s Club (Paul Geiger): Geiger announced that the Club is sponsoring Bingo Saturday, September 17th at 7 p.m. in the Lodge. On September 20th there will be a cookout at Little Turtle. Geiger is not happy that one of the new tables there has already been damaged! The Car Show last weekend was not as successful as in the past due to the weather forecast of rain. Old Business: • Meyer reminded property owners interested in serving the remainder of Rudy Lindy’s term which expires April of 2012 to pick up an application at the Office. Completed applications will be accepted at the Office until 4 p.m. on Fri., Sept. 23rd. • Meyer shared that there was another lengthy discussion about the creation of a building committee during the workshop meeting. The Board decided to wait until Pres. McDulin is present to make any decisions. • Purdin thanked everyone who donated to the fireworks fund for their contributions. She was able to pay all costs for this year’s fireworks and has a surplus of about $400 which will be used toward the costs of next year’s event. New Business: • Kirk introduced and made Motion #196 which was seconded by Purdin to accept the bid from Kamphaus, Henning and Hood to provide Audits for the WPOA for the years of 2011, 2012 and 2013. They will also prepare the WPOA’s federal income tax returns for these years. A vote was taken & the motion passed with seven yea votes (Kinney’s vote by proxy). • Meyer shared a letter from the Brown County Safe Communities Coalition which announced that the Lake Waynoka Board had been selected as one of their “Friend of Brown County Safe Communities” Award recipients for 2011. The letter stated, “The Board is being recognized for its commitment to traffic safety as evidenced this summer by approving and installing either Stop signs or Yield signs at the end of each and every road in the Lake Waynoka community.” Mgr. Cahall and Vice Pres. Meyer will accept this award at a ceremony on Tuesday, September 13th. Membership Concerns: Paul Geiger (Lot #538): Geiger suggested that those property owners who spend money on illegal fireworks should instead donate that money to the Fireworks Fund each year. He believes that there would no longer be concerns about raising enough money to pay for the Lake’s fireworks display! Gilbert Esterkamp (Lot #2004): Esterkamp shared his concerns about trees and brush obstructing the view of drivers near his residence. Cahall noted that the Lake is considering the purchase of a long arm trimmer to clear such obstructions from curves and ditches. He assured Esterkamp that he would meet with him and look at this specific area. Esterkamp also questioned how applications for employment at the Lake were reviewed as he had not heard anything about his application to mow grass. Cahall stated that he was certain that Esterkamp’s application had been considered along with other applicants. Jack Rutan (Lot #401): Rutan commended the Board for placing the newsletter on the Internet via our website, www.lakewaynoka. com. Diana DeVol (Lot #2857): DeVol shared that it was ‘a wonderful summer at the pool’ and that the water aerobics class had ‘a great instructor’. She suggested that the Lake consider purchasing solar blankets again to keep the water in the adult pool warmer. Cahall responded that this is a possibility and that the staff has discussed how to more efficiently use the propane allotted to heat the water. Aristotle Roussos (Lot #458): Roussos urged the Board to stop ‘confusing our product’! He noted that Lake Waynoka is now recognized as Lake Waynoka (and not Sardinia) by the U.S. Post Office, the IRS, the State of Ohio on its map, and so on! He stated that the address on the agendas for the WPOA Board meetings should be Lake Waynoka as should the address on the Lake’s website! Valerie Bullock (Lot #2304): Bullock asked the Board to strongly consider including the renovation of the restrooms at the Lodge in the budget for 2012. She shared that she is embarrassed to ask her guests to use these facilities in their present condition. The audience agreed with their applause. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Purdin, seconded by Johnson and passed by a unanimous vote at 10:49 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

Culver Absent: Mgr. Cahall Minutes: The minutes of the August 13th meeting were approved. Treasurer’s Report (John Buskey): A check for $11,693.00 was received from the Brown County Treasurer. This income is from the water availability and sewer assessment fees which were certified to the County in 2010. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): none Plant Supt.’s Report (George Culver): Culver reported that about 300 water meters have been reprogrammed and that the installation of the plugs in the lid holes has begun. The next time there is significant rainfall and water is in the meter pits staff will determine which lids need to be changed to plastic and that work will be done. It took less than half a day to read all of the meters in August when the meter pits were dry. Culver shared the various factors that will need to be considered before an emergency discharge of the lagoon should be done. At the present time Culver believes that such a discharge is not necessary. Other Business Items: Buskey and Culver reviewed the progress being made related to several of the capital improvements planned for 2011 (the replacement of one compact truck, the replacement of conduit with aluminum conduit at the sewer clarifier, and so on). Gloss reviewed the upcoming election of trustees. Three positions expire in April 2012. There is no change in the status of the lawsuit, Klein vs. the WRWSD. Gloss reported that the sale of the old compact truck to the WPOA for $500 will be discussed at the next WPOA workshop meeting. Buskey updated the trustees on the progress being made on the water rate study. He reviewed what has been done so far and asked for input on several items. The study will be presented in late September to the WRWSD Board. The planning committee noted that the spray irrigation project is still on hold awaiting the EPA license renewal inspection which should take place within the next month. Motions and Resolutions: none Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Doughman and seconded by Kirk. All were in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 7:43 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

Cahall Absent: none Minutes: The minutes of the August 29th WRWSD meeting were approved as read. Treasurer’s Report (Buskey): The cash balance (including CDs) in the WRWSD budget totaled $969,139.46 as of August 30th. This balance reflects the receipt of $11,693.00 from Brown Co. for the collection of delinquent water availability and sewer assessment fees. The WRWSD income, year to date (08/30/11), is running about 8.8% more than anticipated and expense is running about 8.7% less. Monies for one water tap and one sewer tap were collected in August. Property owners were encouraged to review the monthly financial report and to ask any questions they might have. Manager’s Report (Paul Cahall): The work continues reprogramming water meters and installing meter lid plugs. Cahall asked property owners to contact him if their meter lids still have an open hole by the end of the month. The recent rains allowed WRWSD staff to accurately identify some of the sixty or so meters that need plastic rather than metal lids to correct the reading problems. So far 25 plastic lids have been installed. The lawsuit, Klein vs. the WRWSD, was settled in mediation on Wednesday, September 7, 2011, at no cost to either the WRWSD or the WPOA. Other Business: Pres. Gloss asked that any and all interested property owners submit applications for the three trustee positions on the WRWSD Board which expire April of 2012 by Friday, October 7th at 4 p.m. Applications are available at the Office and on-line at www.lakewaynoka.com. Purdin thanked everyone who donated to the fireworks fund for their contributions. She was able to pay all costs for this year’s fireworks and has a surplus of about $400 which will be used toward the costs of next year’s event. Motions and Resolutions: none Membership Concerns: Gilbert Esterkamp (Lot #2004): Esterkamp once again shared why he believes the date that the water meters are actually read plus the number of gallons used to be calculated based on the number of days in the month should be included on the WRWSD customer bills. Pres. Gloss responded that no decision has been made to do so, but that this suggestion would remain a consideration. Adjournment: The motion to adjourn was made by Doughman and seconded by Purdin. All were in favor and the meeting was adjourned at 9:41 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Joanne A.

A very notable par was shot by Tillie Doughman who reached the green on the Par 3 #17 and two-putted for her first par of the year! Yea, Tillie. The only birdie was accomplished by Ron Gloss on the Par 4 hole #16. The low gross score for men was 44 by Jim Hackworth; and the low gross scores for women were 46 by Sandy Mastin (a Sub) and 57 by both Linda Creighton and Mary Kay Wolfe. Great shooting! Our banquet was held in the outside pavilion at White Oak Golf Course on a beautiful day. Manager Butch Novak provided the ham, and Mary Jane and James helped with setup and serving. The League members brought many other good things to eat. Thanks to everybody involved in putting together our banquet. Oh, yeah, we played a golf scramble too, and awarded this year’s prizes. The winning scramble team consisted of Jim Bridges, Paul Cahall, Larry Doughman, and Jim Hackworth who all contributed to a 4-under-Par win! Season winning teams are shown (left to right): Ron Gloss and Valerie Bullock (2nd), Dale Gadd and Jim Hackworth (1st), and Tom Wyatt and Jim Creighton (3rd). Applause, applause. The most improved lady golfer was Mary Kay Wolfe (3 strokes) and most improved man golfer was Tom Wyatt (3 ½ stokes). Ron Gloss and Mary Kay Wolfe won the awards for most points earned this season. Congrats! Following a brief meeting, the golfers and spouses left with smiles on their faces and comments about looking forward to next year.

Cost of this course is $5 payable to ODNR Watercraft. This course will consist of 8 hours of instruction in a certified class followed by an exam. This year (2011) everybody younger than 29 years of age needs to pass a test certified by the State before they can drive any type of boat powered by more than 10hp. This class and exam will fulfill the Ohio’s Boater Education Requirement that went into effect in January of 2000 and is administered by the ODNR Division of Watercraft. The law prohibits any person born on or after January 1, 1982, from operating a vessel powered by more than 10HP unless the person has successfully completed either a boating education course approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrator (NASBLA) or a proficiency examination approved by ODNR Division of Watercraft. You can pre-register for the class by calling ODNR Watercraft at 513-734-2730. Be sure to reference the date and location for above class. This class is open for any age and not just Lake Waynoka. For questions call Steve Johnson at 937-446-1585 smjohnson44@frontier.com or Tom Kitchen at 937-446-9303 THE WASP NEST Monthly publish highlights from the Waynoka Awareness Safety Program to keep you and your neighbors safe. Each month you will find a helpful suggestion from the program guide for your use and to share with those around you. If you would like to have a WASP booklet or if you have something you would like to have included please call. TORNADO SAFETY TIPS There is no such thing as guaranteed safety inside a tornado. Freak accidents happen; and the most violent tornadoes can level and blow away almost any house and its occupants. Extremely violent F5 tornadoes are very rare, though. Most tornadoes are actually much weaker and can be survived using these safety ideas. PRACTICE AND PREVENTION BEFORE THE STORM At home, have a family tornado plan in place, based on the kind of dwelling you live in and the safety tips below. Know where you can take shelter in a matter of seconds, and practice a family tornado drill at least once a year. Have a pre-determined place to meet after the disaster. Flying debris is the greatest danger in tornadoes; so store protective coverings (mattress, sleeping bags, thick blankets, etc.) in or next to your shelter space, ready to use in a few seconds notice. When a tornado watch is issued, think about the drill and check to make sure all your safety supplies are handy. Turn on local TV, radio, or NOAA Weather Radio and stay alert for warnings. Forget about the old notion of opening windows to equalize pressure; the tornado will blast open the windows for you! If you shop frequently at certain stores, learn where there are bathrooms, storage rooms, or other interior shelter areas away from windows, and the shortest way to get there. All administrators of schools, shopping centers, nursing homes, hospitals, sports arenas, stadiums, mobile home communities, and office should have a tornado safety plan in place, with easy to read signs posted to direct everyone to a safe, close by shelter area. Schools and office building managers should regularly run well coordinated drills. If you are planning to build a house, especially east of the Rockies, consider an underground tornado shelter or an interior “safe room”. Know the signs of a tornado: Weather forecasting science is not perfect and some tornadoes do occur without a tornado warning. There is no substitute for staying alert to the sky. Besides an obviously visible tornado, here are some things to look and listen for: 1. Strong, persistent rotation in the cloud base. 2. Whirling dust or debris on the ground under a cloud base, tornadoes sometimes have no funnel. Hail or heavy rain followed by either dead calm or a fast, intense wind shift. Many tornadoes are wrapped in heavy participation and cannot be seen. 3. Day or Night – Loud, continuous roar or rumble, which does not fade in a few seconds like thunder. 4. Night – small, bright blue-green to white flashes at ground level neat a thunderstorm (as opposed to silvery lightening up in the clouds). These mean power lines are being snapped by very strong winds, and maybe a tornado. 5. Night – Persistent lowering from the cloud base, illuminated or silhouetted by lightening-especially if it is on the ground or there are blue-green-white power flashes underneath.

Cahall, General Manager As I was watching the pools being drained and saying my “goodbye’s” and “hope to see you next year” to our summer staff, I started thinking of the fun and good times we had this summer. Memorial Day weekend, Community wide yard sale, 4th of July, Waynoka days, fishing tournaments, activities in the campground, hot days around the pool and on the lake, and then ending with a great Labor Day ski show and fireworks display. As an outsider before this year I was amazed by the sense of community and camaraderie you find here at Lake Waynoka. So I want to thank everyone for their help in making a very successful summer season. Now on to business and some of the questions I have gotten this month. Are we going to lower the lake this year? At the time that I am writing this I can only tell you for sure that on November 15th and not before, we will open the valve to start draining the retention ponds. The valve will remain open until that work is complete. To avoid any problems with your boat you should have it out of the water before that date. As soon as we have a final determination on any other lowering I will have it posted on our web site. Empty lot mowing. I recently performed an audit on what lots we are mowing. If we mowed your lot and you had opted out of having us mow you received a bill for mowing services. Please contact me if you have any questions about this. If you choose to mow your own lot you will need to mow at least once a month during the season so we can tell someone else is taking care of it. When my staff is out mowing, if it needs cut they cut it. They don’t know who is paying and who is not. Tree cutting. There has been some concern about tree’s being removed from lots for firewood or lumber. The trees on your lot belong to you and I cannot stop you from harvesting your own trees but you cannot leave a mess behind. According to WPOA rules all lots must be maintained in a neat and tidy manner. If after tree cutting the property is not cleaned up we can and will clean it up and the cost will be added to the property owner’s bill. Building permits. In the last month we have had to stop several contractors at the gate coming in to perform work that requires a permit and we don’t have one on file. To save yourself the expense of us turning away your contractor at the gate make sure whatever work you are having done has a permit if required. If you have any question about if a permit is required all rules are on our web site or simply call the front office and we would be glad to help you. Sincerely, Paul S. Cahall, WPOA/WRWSD General Manager News from the Garden Club…… Pumpkin Carving – A Halloween Tradition Join the Lake Waynoka Garden Club for an evening of fun, food and hallowed traditions as we tackle the fine art of pumpkin carving. Witches, ghosts and goblins will shiver with fear (or laughter) at Lake Waynoka and the surrounding community when these pumpkin creations are lit at night. Our workshop will be held at the home of Charlie and Linda Garfield (2 Creek Cove) on Sunday, October 16th at 6:00 p.m. Goblins at the lake have told us that along with a bonfire, there will be hot chili, white chili, sauerkraut and kielbasa sausage provided by the hosts and fellow garden club members. Other refreshments and food will be provided. Bring your own cooler, lawn chair and knife for carving. Guests are welcome. Call Linda at 446-4207 for directions to Creek Cove.
