Indian Acres Club of Thornburg
Coming to an End
Our Pow Wow II team has been working hard every month publishing this
magazine style info about our beloved Indian Acres. We had our first
meeting back in January of 2015 and gave a commitment to publish from
April to October. It has been a labor of love but also a lot of work and
many, many hours of trying to show everyone what has been going on
and what is coming up at IACT.
We really hope that you the property owners, family members, guest and
even prospective buyers have all enjoyed the publications each month.
So our next issue (October) will be the last for the season.
We have been trying to publish birthdays, anniversaries, etc. each month
as they are sent in to us by our deadline. For the October issue, we are
going to ask for these also, but not only for October but for November,
December, January, February and March—all the months that are in our
off-season. We don’t want to leave anyone out just because their
important day happens to be in one of those months. So, send in yours to
our email at powwowII@yahoo.com before our Sept 15th deadline.
Thanks to all who have sent us there info over the months we have
published this.
”Ahhh… September at
IACT where the days are
still warm and the nights
turn cooler. Time for warming up by the campfire with
family and friends.”

transportation. The Powhatan also used the rivers to
bathe every morning. Sometimes the towns were palisaded, which usually meant they were closer to enemy
territory. The towns consisted of from two to a hundred
houses with six to twenty people living in each dwelling. These houses, called yehakins, were typically
scattered and interspersed between the trees. The
yehakins were made from saplings bent and lashed
together at the top to form a barrel shape. Woven mats
or bark were placed on top of the saplings and space
left for an entrance at each end of the house and an
open hole at the center of the roof for smoke to escape.
When the English arrived in Virginia in 1607 they did
not encounter an uninhabited land. An estimated
50,000 Virginia Indians had called what is now the
Commonwealth of Virginia home for more than 12,000
years. The tribes the English encountered first, and
most often, belonged to the powerful Powhatan Chiefdom. The land occupied by the Powhatan Indians encompassed all of Tidewater Virginia, from the Potomac
River in the north to south of the James River, and
parts of the Eastern Shore. This area, which they
called Tsenacommacah, was about 100 miles long
from north to south and about 100 miles wide from
southeast to northwest.

Yehakins were constructed by the women. Women
provided most, if not all of the fuel, and much of the
food as well. Besides building the houses, and everyChief

est and, if she still lived with her parents, gain their approval. He did so through gifts of food, which showed
his ability to provide. Soon after the man procured the
necessary household items (a house, mortar and pestle, mats, pots, and bedding) and the bride wealth was
paid, the bride was brought to the groom's house.
There, her father, guardian or "chief friend" joined the
couple's hands together. A string of beads was measured to the man's arm length and then broken over the
couple's hands (the beads were given to the person
who brought the bride). The couple were now married,
and expected to be for life, and a celebration took
place. Divorce was possible, however, in which case
any children were possibly split between their parents
according to their sex. For all Powhatan Indians, marriage was considered a child-rearing arrangement.

Powhatan men had fewer jobs than the women, but
they were especially demanding. Their world revolved
around always being prepared to kill enemy people and
animals efficiently. Besides hunting and war, men built
dugout canoes (used by men and women), fished, and
cleared garden plots. They fished mostly in the spring
and hunted mostly in the fall; it was the man's responsibility to provide animals, for food, clothing and tools.
Hunting was a taxing job, requiring mental concentration, extended bursts of physical energy, and an intimate knowledge of the terrain and plant cover that attracted animals. Hunting methods necessitated the
men's unique hairstyles. They wore the left side of their
hair long and tied in a knot, decorated with various trophies from wars or feathers, and shaved the right side,
so as not to get their bow strings caught in their hair.

Labor Day
By Joyce Waggett
Well, here it is Labor Day. I think this is a great holiday. Oh I know Christmas is a kid’s favorite, 4th of July is spectacular with the fireworks and Halloween is just plain spooky fun for all ages. But Labor Day is special because it honors all our hard working people who labor long hours to bring
home the bacon, educate their kids, put a home over their family’s heads and
try to get a little extra to have a special vacation.
I think about my Dad on Labor Day as a man from what is called the greatest
generation. A man who worked three jobs to provide for his family. He never
complained about working and he still always found time to be with my Mom
and us kids. My Dad was a happy guy who was always whistling. He kind of
reminded me of Andy Griffith. And I guess I’m aging myself there.
I think about my Mom on Labor Day too. Just because back when I was a
kid, most Mom’s stayed home, it didn’t mean that they worked any less than
the men. She taught me to always try and do my best and always think
about others and their needs. My Mom was a tough task master. We owned
cabins on the coast of Maine. It was a family job. My sister and I helped to
clean them while my brother mowed the lawn and did the yard work. I can
remember my mother tearing the bedding apart one time and making us
wash, iron and properly make that bed again because hard working people
would be renting it for $7.00 a night. I learned fast to do it right the first time.
Yep, Labor Day is to honor all those who have worked and labored for their
families, for their friends and for themselves. It is a noble holiday and one that
I am happy that we have.
So, this land is your land because you have labored for it. Enjoy your holiday!

With the Fall season just around the corner here are some facts about burning leaves:
Because of the moisture that is usually trapped within leaves, they tend to burn slowly and thus generate large
amounts of airborne particulates—fine bits of dust, soot and other solid materials. According to Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources, these particulates can reach deep into lung tissue and cause coughing, wheezing, chest pain, shortness of breath and sometimes long-term respiratory problems.
Leaf smoke may also contain hazardous chemicals such as carbon monoxide, which can bind with hemoglobin
in the bloodstream and reduce the amount of oxygen in the blood and lungs. Another noxious chemical commonly present in leaf smoke is benzo(a)pyrene, which has been shown to cause cancer in animals and is believed to be a major factor in lung cancer caused by cigarette smoke. And while breathing in leaf smoke can
irritate the eyes, nose and throat of healthy adults, it can really wreak havoc on small children, the elderly and
people with asthma or other lung or heart diseases.
Did you know that fall leaves make good compost? Composting leaves is the most eco-friendly alternative to
burning them. Another idea for dry fall leaves is to mulch them instead of burning them. By mulching leaves,
you can add no more than two to three inch layers of leaves around actively growing plants, chopping or shredding the leaves first, so that they do not matt down and then prevent air from reaching roots. Using this technique provides many benefits including: weed suppression, moisture conservation and moderation of soil temperature.

Glen 5 Chippewa 1st Annual Party
By Keith and Connie Wood
August 1st, 2015 Glen 5 “Chippewa’s” held their first Annual
Party throughout the Glen 5 territory. It was such a great
success mostly in part to all of you and your participation
coming together in fellowship. The party started 2:00 p.m.
at the 5A bathhouse where you could find dishes of food
brought to share, free hotdogs and water supplied by the
Chippewa’s, fish sandwich’s for sale by Wanda and Russell
and chicken dinner plates for sale by Stanley and Carolyn
in support of Glen 5. Throughout the afternoon at the Glen
5A common area you could find a good time by all no matter their age. Rhoda, Melvin and daughter Shonnon had a
wide variety of activities for the kids including water balloons, water soakers, bubbles and ice cream sundaes.
Deborah dedicated her afternoon to teaching line dancing to
the Funsteaders, Allison captured fun had by all capturing
photo’s which there are card games and mingling by all.
Donna and her companion played music enjoyed by all until
sun settled where the party moved to Billy T. and Sharon’s
for the “Got Talent” karaoke. Over at bath house 5B there
was fun by all participants in the 1st Annual Glen 5, double
elimination Corn Hole Tournament. We had a 16 team sell
out where trophies were awarded to the top 3 teams…and
the winner’s were… third place James Courtney and Mark
Coleman, 2nd place Cody Frum and Joey Dautant while
Todd Drake and Mike Earl took home the 1st place trophies! This was Glen 5’s first tournament and we were very
excited to have such an outstanding participation and a
challenging competition between many Funsteaders.
Congratulations and thank you to everyone who participation. Special thanks to Rich Sexton for lending us the PA
system, Sally Wood Glen 8 and Joe Lawrence Glen 10 for
the assistance in the officiating the tournament and all the
help from Funsteaders that assisted in gathering the boards
before and after the tournament. The Chippewa corn hole
tournament was a great success and we look forward to our
2nd annual tournament to be bigger and better next season.
Next year Chippewa’s plan on kicking off our party with an
exciting new IACT’s first “Scavenger Hunt”. If success is
measured by the smiles on people’s faces I think it’s safe to
say the Chippewa Annual Party was huge success and
plenty of good times were had by all Funsteaders of all
ages.
I would like to thank all of the Glen 5 Chippewa’s who
participated and donated your time before, during and after
the event; Ric, BJ, Willette, Tony, Matt, Becky, Roger, Tom,
Joyce, Staci, Lee Lee, Darlene, Terry, Susie and ALL others we could not of done this without all your efforts. Glen
5 would thank IACT and the maintenance employees who
helped in us borrowing IACT tables, trash containers and
assisting with the common area removal of gathered
leaves.
Glen 5 is already planning the 2016 Block Party with a kick
start to the activities of a Scavenger Hunt…Please be on
the look out for the details to be announced in the Spring so
you can SAVE The Date.

Home
By Maggie Estes
People spend their lives
They search with their eyes
In search of home
Wide open, of course,
Of a place in this world
And still they manage
That to them is so well known
To find themselves lost
They seek high and low
I was one of those
For a place that has flow
Lost seekers of home
They swear when they find it
I searched from one place to the next
They will know
And always alone
Then one day I knew that my
Search had taken it’s toll
That was the day that I finally realized
That home is your soul!!!

In Loving
Built By
Memory
Roy Sill
Native Americans thought animals
watched over them that they called
“totems” which meant “brother.” As they
carved them into poles, they told a story of
that family. Around the Totem Pole tells
the story of our IACT family. We will print
monthly birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, special events, graduations, awards,
in memory of—or you tell us.
We dedicate this page in loving memory of
Roy Sill (Glen 8) who built the beautiful
Totem Pole seen here and is located on
the IACT putt-putt course. Thanks Roy, we
will never forget your kindness.
Our dear friend and a director on the IACT Board Ron
Majette passed away on July 26th. Ron was a property
owner in Glen 12 and loved by all who knew him. He battled a rare form of tissue cancer for 8 years but never
waivered from his duties on the Site Control committee or
the Board. He leaves his wife Stephanie and 3 children.
At Ron’s request, his body was donated to Anatomy Gifts
Registry to support medical education. Ron was a true
giver and he will be missed by all.
At the August BOD meeting after a moment of silence the
following prayer was given: Dear Lord, one of my favorite
verses in your Holy Word comes from Psalm 34 where it states
in verse 8 to “taste and see that the Lord is good.” I feel that Ron did just that. His last 8 years were under the threat of a
rare form of cancer. But, Lord, Ron still managed to enjoy and live each day that You blessed him to have. Now You have
called him home to be with You for all of eternity. Ron was here such a short time but he did show us all how a gentle spirit
as his can be so giving. Although we know that You now have him in your arms and Ron is singing Your praises, we will
miss him. Lord, we want to ask that Your Holy Spirit be now with Ron’s wife Stephanie and their 3 children. Give them
peace and comfort knowing that Ron now has no more pain, no more tears and is free from cancer’s grip. We ask this all in
the name above all names, Jesus Christ. Amen
Thank you Ron for your time, talents and commitment to your IACT family. You did all you could here on Earth by loving
your family, being successful in your job at the U. S. Department of Energy as an Architect for 27 years, to your community
as a mentor and civic leader and to all of us here at Indian Acres. We know God has a special place in heaven for you.
The Pow Wow II has also received word of the passing of long time Glen 3 Lot 183 property owner Scott Grieninger. Our
hearts, prayers and love go out to his wife Marie and their family. You were always a joy to see and be with and Glen 3 will
miss you terribly. Rest in peace dear Scott and bask in the light of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Pow Wow II has been hearing about some people who are making donations and finding
ways to make our IACT community better and more fun for everyone—young and old.
We would like to recognize our IACT stars by giving them a virtual feather for their headdress. For Native Americans, the feather represented a brave act or something that
helped their tribe. They would collect them and the most coveted one was from the Eagle. So let’s give out some virtual Eagle feathers. We apologize to those we don’t know
about but did wonderful things as this is not meant to slight anyone. It’s meant to show
how wonderful people are here. So, who wants to give a virtual feather to someone?
Our first virtual Eagle’s feather goes out posthumously to Ron Majette for all his work on Site Control and the
Board of Directors while he was so ill. He never wavered from his tasks, never used his illness as an excuse
and always had a kind work and a smile. You will always be a part of IACT and remembered fondly.
Mary Smith G7 L27 asked to give a virtual Eagle’s feather to Kenny Limerick,
Dale Minter, Frogg Lazenby, Laura Frost, Gordon Frost, Joyce Cooper, Frian
Harrison, Todd Zavash, John Whear, Mike Earl, Linda LoTempio, Patrick Harrison and Ernie and Bernie for helping finish her porch on her trailer. She
thanks everyone and hopes she didn’t forget any names. Mary also wants to
thank everyone for the remembrance stone given to her from her IACT family
for her dog Eddie who passed away. Mary has been feeling all the love.
IACT
Stars
Another virtual Eagle’s feather goes out to our IACT maintenance crew for
doing more cleanup on the Glen 7 cemetery. It looks wonderful!
We also heard about a couple in Glen 4 named Doug and Susan who were
seen at the IACT beach cleaning up the goose droppings. Thank you for taking the time to make the beach
cleaner from the geese so all could enjoy it. You both have earned a virtual Eagle’s feather for your headdress.
Thanks go out to Glen 5, Glen 4 and Glen 9 for the fun events that each glen hosted for everyone to enjoy.
Thanks to all the folks who worked hard all day for their glens and for all our IACT family. You all get a virtual
Eagle’s feather for your headdress.
Another virtual Eagles feather goes out to all those
who work at the restaurant and the Trading Post.
They all work hard to wait on each IACT member
and serve them. You all get a virtual Eagle’s
feather for you headdress.
NOTICE
Please send us your stars so we can publish what they are doing in, around
and for IACT! We can give them a virtual Eagle feather! We will publish on a
first-come basis as we can fit it on this page. Thanks!
(None of these people sought out this recognition as Pow Wow II found out
through third parties. So surprise someone and spill their beans to us! We love
saying “Thanks!” and seeing those headdresses grow with feathers.)

Glen 4 & 9 Fundraiser Fun!
By Joyce Waggett
It was a long day of fun at the ball field when Glen 4 and Glen 9 held
their combined “fun”draiser. They began setting up around 9 am with
registration for anyone who wanted to participate in their golf cart obstacle course, cornhold tournament and horseshoe tournament. They had a
50/50 raffle, lots of good food for sale and Richard Marsh was the DJ.
They also had 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophies for each event.
Once they were set up and people registered they began around noon with the
golf cart obstacle course. It was a timed event and there were penalties assessed for each pylon hit. Although it looked easy, it was difficult to get
through without hitting something. Winners were: 1st-Luke Roe; 2nd-Joey
Dautant, 3rd-Mike Earl
Later that afternoon, they began the corn hole tournament. That is a big draw
for people here at IACT. They love their corn hole. People are teamed up with
the luck of the draw and there is a winners and losers bracket. Ultimate winners get bragging rights till the next tournament. Winners were: 1st-Todd
Drake & Cody Limerick; 2nd-Frogg Lazenby & Bobby Limerick; 3rd-Donny
Frum & Cody Frum
Afterwards, the horseshoe tournament went on later into the evening. I don’t
think I would have an elbow left throwing those. The guys I saw playing just
really had a great time—lots of trash talk going on there. Winners were: 1stBobby Limerick & Kenny Limerick; 2nd-Gary & JJ Taylor; 3rd-Frogg Lazenby &
Clyde.
Mike Weaver from glen 9 won the 50/50 raffle.
Glens 4 and 9 would like to thank everyone who helped and all those who
came out to support them. Everyone had a great time!

Thanks to our Recreation Department for hosting a back to school party for the IACT kids. Rich
Sexton was there DJing and making announcements for each game with the help of his wife
Melinda. Other property owners made donations of school supplies for the kids to win for prizes.
This was happening in the afternoon while Glen 4 and 9 were holding their event. So there was
fun for the kids too. Posting some pictures taken of the event for all to see the smiles.
Rich and Melinda, the Rec Center department, all who made donations and all the kids who
participated you all have earned a virtual Eagle’s feather for all you did. Enjoy the pictures.
Don’t forget…. Send us your birthdays, anniversaries, special events, in memory of, or any
news you would like to share with your IACT family. We love telling “our” IACT story!

"I know the difference between peace
and war better than any man in my
country. Why will you take by force
what you may have quietly by love?
Why will you destroy us who supply
you with food? What can you get by
war? Why are you jealous of us? We
are unarmed, and willing to give you
what you ask, if you come in a friendly
manner, and not so simple as not to
know that it is much better to eat good
meat, sleep comfortably, live quietly
with my wives and children, laugh and
be merry with the English, and trade
for their copper and hatchets, than to
run away from them, and to lie cold in
the woods, and feed on acorns, roots,
and such trash, and be so hunted that I
can neither eat nor sleep."

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. After a good meal, they lay down for the
night and went to sleep. Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend. Holmes said:
“Watson, look up and tell me what you see”.
Watson said: “I see a fantastic panorama of countless stars”.
Holmes: “And what does that tell you?”
Watson pondered for a moment: “Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that
the time is approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and
that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.”
“Why? – What does it tell you, Holmes?”
Holmes was silent for a moment then spoke: “Someone has stolen our tent.”
