Beavers have caused damage to trees around the lake. Please contact the
office if you have information on the location of their lodge. Water front
property owners can protect their trees from beaver damage by wrapping
the tree trunks with chicken wire. Be sure to wrap the tree trunk to a
height of 3-4 feet to keep the beavers away.

NEWS FROM THE COMMON GROUND
In 2012 the Common Ground Committee purchased new "Yard of the Month" signs. They are
now metal signs with heavy duty holders that will tolerate our windy weather much better than
those used in past years.
The sign has also been redesigned with new graphics. Look for the Yellow Daffodil!
The Common Ground Committee is now driving the streets of Raintree to find award winning front
and/or back yards. We always welcome suggestions from residents. The only yards that are
ineligible are homes that are delinquent on association dues and previous winners. The
committee checks to make sure the yard is not a previous winner, and then will go view the
recommended yard. There are still many, many homes to choose from for the award. The May
winners will be notified at the beginning of the month. So if you hear a knock on your door, please
answer. It might be the Common Ground Committee!

Irrigation Committee Formation
On March 19th, the RLPOA Board President formed the Irrigation Committee.
The purpose of this committee is to gather concerns and other information relative to
watering from the lake and other tributaries within the confines of Raintree Lake.
In the past, concerns have been expressed and this committee has been formed to gather
those as well as any new concerns and ensure they are presented to the Board and/or
membership as the community seeks to address this devise issue in a fact based, unemotional
manner.
If you want to ensure your views are expressed, please join us at one of the meetings or email
them to manager@rlpoa.com and they will be passed on to the committee.
All residents are encouraged to attend the committee meetings as it seeks to insure all parties
and opinions are expressed and represented in the summary documentation.
For a schedule of meetings and minutes, see the link on rlpoa.com
RAINTREE VIEW MEETING MINUTES
APRIL 10, 2013
The meeting opened at 7 pm.
Present were Stan, Allan, and Robert Dye. Brenda, San, and Tom were absent.
Robert presented ideas on replacing the evergreens which were lost due to the drought with
yearling trees from the conservation department. They are small, but very low priced. This
sounds like a reasonable alternative and we will discuss it thoroughly when the full
committee is present.
We discussed the progress of the phase one parking lot. Right now it looks like the work of
a mole on steroids, but the rough grading is done and concrete curbs are poured. What
looks like a canal to nowhere is the beginning of a large grassy swale which will provide
runoff from the parking lot and surrounding area. The banks will be sloped so that the grass
can be mowed and the swale will end in a rain garden which in turn will slowly allow the
water to enter a nearby storm drain.
Trees and shrubs will be planted around the parking lot and rain garden. An irrigation system
is planned for the area, but rising costs may force that to be delayed until funds are available.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at approximately 8 pm. The
next scheduled meeting will be on May 15 and probably at the new Duck Pond building.

Tips for Ant Control
By Alex Pupkin
Ants are among the most common pest control issue about which professionals are asked.
Ants exist in almost every climate on earth and as such they constitute a persistent problem
around the globe. More importantly, ants can cause significant damage to the structure of your
home so an ant infestation should never be overlooked. Carpenter ants, for example, nest in
your home and tunnel and nest inside wood structures. Ants that look for food in your home
can contaminate this food, and can even inflict painful bites and stings which in allergic
individuals may experience a severe reaction. As you can see, it is important to treat ant
control seriously, and these ant control tips are a great place to start.
 Follow ants to discover their point of entry in your house. Ants may enter through







window and door jams, cracks in the floor, or even molding crevices.
Boric acid or laundry detergent can create a temporary barrier to prevent ants from
entering at these points. You can even sprinkle baby powder as a safer alternative for pets
and children.
You should make every effort to seal these entry points. Caulk windows and cracks, apply
weather stripping to doors and windows, and cover holes with duct tape.
Check your cupboard for food ants may have been eating and throw it away; these foods
may be contaminated.
Store food in secure containers or in your refrigerator to prevent ants from accessing
food sources. Exposed food and garbage will attract ants.
Regularly clean all cupboards to remove remnants of sugar, honey, maple syrup, grains,
cereals, cookies, jams, and bread as these are favorite food sources for ants.
Wash floors and surfaces where you have discovered an ant line with warm water and
soap. This helps prevent the ants' return. Ants follow a pheromone scent to return to food
sources, by thoroughly cleaning their path even with bleach and water you can make it
impossible for them to retrace their path.
Lemon peels are a great deterrent for ants as they do not like the smell. Place a slice of
lemon peel in your sugar bowl to prevent ants. In fact, you can use orange or lemon peels
around doorways or drop them into ant holes and this will help to deter ants.
If you are careful and thorough in your ant control techniques, you may be able to deal with
an infestation on your own. While these tips are effective, it can be very difficult to eliminate
ants from your home. Try these tips, but always be ready to consider professional pest control
advice. Sometimes your only option will be to kill the ant colony, and it is best to rely on a
professional in such cases.

Drowning Preven on Tips & Facts for Swimming Pools & Spas
By Lisa Hallett Taylor, About.com Guide
Drowning may be one of the most remorseful fatal accidents to occur at a home. Why? Because it's en rely
preventable. It's most o en due to human error, negligence, distrac on, forge ulness, alcohol or lack of pool safety
educa on.
If you own a pool or spa, you need to update all an ‐entrapment drain covers, barriers and rescue equipment. All adults
and teens in your household must know rescue techniques and be able to supervise swimming and pool‐area ac vi es
at all mes. Follow these ps which include sugges ons from the Centers for Disease Control and Na onal Drowning
Preven on Alliance.
Consider All 'Children' at Risk
What age group is most at risk for drowning? That should be which age groups? Young children and teens are at greatest
risk for drowning. Sta s cally, children under age 5 and adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 24
have the highest drowning rates, according to the CDC.
Adult Supervision Means Uninterrupted Focus on the Pool & Swimmers
At all mes. No excep ons, not even for:
 The text message you have to look at or respond to.
 The phone call ‐‐ cell or landline ‐‐ you need to make or take.
 The hedges over there that need clipping.
 The snacks you need to get from the kitchen.
 The work you need to complete by tomorrow
 Looking directly at the person you're having a conversa on with. They can s ll hear you even if your eyes are
focused on young swimmers.
 Any other distrac ons not listed here.
Learn CPR & Safe Water‐Rescue Techniques
You know that class in first‐aid or CPR at the local 'Y' you've been meaning to sign up for? Contact them today. It may be
the monkey on your back that you've been trying to avoid, but accidents don't wait for procras nators or busy
schedules.
Swim Lessons & Water Safety Educa on
Whether or not you own a pool or spa, it's a good idea to make sure the children in your life (including grandchildren)
learn how to swim. Most children love to go swimming in the summer. They need to be taught the basic and proper
techniques for swimming and water safety. Do not, however, let the fact that your children have had lessons give you a
false sense of security. The unexpected can happen. Always supervise.
Swimming & Drinking: A Lethal Mix
Alcohol use is involved in up to 70% of deaths associated with water recrea on and almost a quarter of ED visits
for drowning. Alcohol is a major contribu ng factor in up to 50% of drownings among adolescent boys. Who hasn't
heard about guys at a frat party jumping or diving off the roof into the backyard pool or other stupid an cs at par es?
The CDC advises to avoid drinking alcohol before or during swimming, boa ng, or water skiing. Also, do not drink
alcohol while supervising children.
Remember: Alcohol consump on influences balance, coordina on and judgment, and its effects are heightened by sun
exposure and heat.
Pools are More Dangerous Than Cars for the Under‐4 Set
Swimming is a greater risk than riding in a car. A swimming pool is 14 mes more likely than a motor vehicle to be
involved in the death of a child under the age 4.

Rules for “Boats in the Driveway”
April 1st to October 31st
Watercraft have to be in operable condition, bearing a current Raintree Sticker and resident must be in
good standing. Remember to secure any items that may be stored in your watercraft. Don’t become an easy
target.

Sound Off... It’s the Law!
Lee’s Summit has a “leash law” ordinance all
pets, when outdoors, must be restrained by a
chain, leash, or other devise that is attached to a
fixed object or under the hand-held control of
the owner, or the animal must be kept in an
enclosed area from which it can not escape, even
when the animal is on the owner’s property.
Not everyone is comfortable with animals they
do not personally know. PLEASE keep your
animals restrained.

2013 Boating Season
Spring is here and the boating season is just around the corner. As vessels are being put
back on the lake for the year here are some friendly reminders from your water patrol.
Vessels should have a pre check done that consist of checking the hull for cracks, blisters, or
holes. If you didn't change the oil and filters at the end of last season, do so now. Pull and
charge your battery, upon replacing it check all electronics before entering the lake. Check
your plug on your vessel make sure it is serviceable, and make sure it is in the vessel before
entering the water. Check tire pressure and brake lights on trailer. If you have a slip on the
lake walk down to your slip and make sure it doesn’t look like this before entering the water.
Check your lift’s rails to ensure they are straight and secure to the dock. Check the bunks and
brackets attaching bunks, failure of the bunk brackets can lead to a catastrophic failure of the
lift and could lead to a sunken vessel. Look at the bunks to ensure there is carpet on them.
Lifts that are not property maintained add stress to the structure of the dock itself. This leads
to breakage of the underwater bracing and more upkeep and hassle for everyone. If lift is not
being used any time soon store it in the floating position. In the near future we will be doing
some dock repairs and will be contacting some residents about moving vessels so their docks
can be worked on. During that time you can pull your vessels from the lake if desired or you
can park it at the courtesy dock. Thank you all in advance and we are looking forward to
another great boating season at Raintree Lake.
