Thanksgiving Music by Konstantyn Travinskyy Ukrainian pianist Konstantyn Travinskyy has won prizes in numerous piano competitions across the globe including 1st prize at the Sorantin Music Competition, 3rd prize at the California International Young Artist Competition, 4th prize at the Valesesia-Musica International Competition (Italy) and 1st prize at the International Wideman Piano Competition in Shreveport, Louisiana. Konstantyn was invited to study with Vladimir Viardo, Artist-in Residence of the University of North Texas, where he completed his Master’s degree in May 2010 and is currently pursuing his Doctorate degree in piano performance. He is a recipient of Toulouse Graduate School scholarship as well as College of Music and Viardo Fellowship Foundation scholarships. In addition to his competition accomplishments, Konstantyn made several major performances in the U.S. including his Chicago debut at the Dame Myra Hess Series, which was broadcast live on WFMT, the city’s classical radio station. His orchestral performances include appearances with the Domenico Cimarosa Symphony Orchestra in Italy, the National Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, the University of North Texas Symphony Orchestra, and the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra. After his performance with the latter, The Shreveport Times stated, “He has a wonderfully precise style of fingering and approach, equally adept at capturing the drama of the work as well as its melodic content.” Mr. Travinskyy also has been invited to perform for the Eastfield Piano Festival, National Dance Festival, Texas Conservatory for Young Artists, the Chopin Society of Mid-America in Oklahoma, as well as other series in California, Mississippi, and Texas. Konstantyn’s talent continues to delight his audiences in countries such as Ukraine, Russia, Mexico, and the United States. AT CASA OF NORTH TEXAS WE ARE THANKFUL FOR OUR WONDERFUL VOLUNTEERS! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! 940-665-1648 www.tj4ttts.com • tj4ttts@yahoo.com christmas lights installed 972-974-2308 May Your Holidays Be Merry, and Your Christmases Be Brighter! Thomas Moore Feed November 2014 CommuniQue 3 Community Manager’s Report Hello Kiowans! I hope that everyone had a fun endof-summer holiday on Labor Day and a safe Halloween with all the little ones trying to fill their sacks with candy. But now it’s on to November and the kickoff to the holiday season. On Tuesday, Nov. 11 we will be saluting our veterans in the Lodge at what has become an annual event. There will be food, drink, a guest speaker, with all this culminating with a dance. At the event we celebrate our veterans, but we should never forget those veterans who are no longer with us and remember them and their families in our thoughts and in our prayers. The Lodge is again celebrating Thanksgiving with a Thanksgiving Day Buffet. This year’s celebration includes all the traditional favorites along with some new items. Awardwinning Ukrainian pianist Konstantyn Travinskyy will provide entertainment throughout the event. He has performed in Italy as well as in Chicago, New York, Oklahoma, Mississippi, California, and Texas. This event sells out every year so please make your reservations early. On to work: our fall cleanup is scheduled from Thursday, Nov. 13 through Saturday, Nov. 15. Remember: no hazardous materials, batteries, tires, etc. will be accepted. On a final note, we’re close to issuing the new Lake Kiowa member identification cards. These cards will replace the paper cards with new cards that are similar to a credit card. The cards will have a photo of the member on the card as well as the member’s information pertaining to their lot imprinted on a magnetic strip. ROTARY 2014 FLAG PROGRAM CONCLUDES The new cards provide several benefits to the members that include: Increased security The cards will be disabled when the member or lessee moves away from Lake Kiowa, which will prevent them from re-entering the community once they have moved. Reduced cost - Like your other credit cards, the new cards will last for years. This will save printing and labor costs each year for new cards. Convenience - The new cards along with their guest cards will be mailed to the member, eliminating the need to come to the LKPOA office to pick up the cards. Improved accuracy - The information on the cards will be incorporated into the new accounting system, allowing charges at the Lodge to be applied accurately to your lot. Visibility Charges will be available for review by the member on the website. Expandability - Future plans include incorporating the Pro Shop into the database. The members’ identification cards could be used to purchase goods and pay for guest tee times with the charges applied to the member’s lot. The member application form soon will be available on the Lake Kiowa website. If a computer is unavailable, the application can be submitted at the LKPOA office where staff members will help you complete the form. Stay tuned for more information to come. That’s all for now. Happy Thanksgiving! Randy Fall Cleanup Nov. 13 - 15 The Gainesville Rotary Club Flag Program has had a very successful year here at Lake Kiowa. We had 235 paid subscribers who displayed a flag (in some cases, several flags) in front of their homes. This figure represents an increase of 20 subscribers compared with last year. This display of patriotism is very moving in and of itself, not to mention the philanthropic programs our club is able to carry out throughout Cooke County, regionally, and internationally using the funds donated. We are able to have so many flags displayed here, because approximately 75 percent of our subscribers take care of the flags themselves during the year. We Rotarians thank all of you very much for your continued support. We will end this calendar year’s program on Veterans Day, Tuesday, Nov. 11. At that time, we want to collect, inspect, and replace the flags, where necessary. We plan to collect all the flags that our volunteers usually put out for the folks who don’t handle the flags themselves. If you are handling the flag yourself and your flag requires replacement, please leave it out so we can collect it. You can expect to receive a letter next spring (in March or early April) with the information on the 2015 program. At that time, we hope you will fill out the application and send it in. The requested donation next year will remain at $40.

Finally, she agreed to enter it this year. She won a Premium Blue Ribbon for the latch hook division at the State Fair. The rug is about 5 by 3 feet with a well-designed form of the State of Texas with different parts depicting the beauty of Texas in the middle. To the east, she has trees and flowers. To the west, it is plain for the flat land. There is the Alamo, an oil derrick, and the State Capitol. The four corners have the UT orange shape of Texas and the State flag is in the middle at the top part of the rug. Mary worked on this for six months and the result proved to be a Blue Ribbon design. Kerlene Ross Dear Kiowa friends: As we are packing and going through many boxes of items for our move, we are reminded of the good times we had while living here at beautiful Lake Kiowa. It has been great to share time with you in the Chapel, Supper Club, Friends of the Lodge, my singing group, Computer Club (where we met, and you watched the courtship and marriage of a couple of “old” teenagers), Kiowa Woman’s Club, Gourmet Groups, the Kiowa travel group, Kiwanis Club, July 4th, Gainesville churches, and on and on. We began travelling to escape the Texas weather and allergies, and to enjoy our new life together. In our travels we visited many beautiful places and decided we may as well live where we can find great weather for the time we are there. Thus came the Punta Gorda, Florida condo at Burnt Store Marina for winters. Of course, summer in Texas can be unbearable so we continued the search for escape, and just last May discovered the southwest corner of North Carolina. Another lovely condo on a small lake in the mountain community of Sapphire, and we decided to buy it for the summer months. The realization then hit – when would we ever be in Texas? So therefore we are moving away. We wanted to say good-bye and tell you we enjoyed our time with you, in-between travels, and thank you for all the friendships we have made here. Lake Kiowa is a great place, especially for golfers and boaters, if you enjoy the Texas weather. We do love the Gulf Coast of Florida and now “the Mountains are calling and we must go”…… as they poetically say in North Carolina. God Bless you all! Phyllis and Nels Thomsen Dear Bill, Once again I am writing, because I feel some who own property here do not care about our community. Not everyone, but numerous. Those I’m referring to are the ones who let their pet poop in other folk’s yard and don’t pick it up. It really is easy to do, pick it up that is, and you don’t mess up your hands. Those of you who get newspapers, the plastic cover is good, and those of you who don’t can use the bags you get when you grocery shop. Then put the plastic in your trash can. See! No dirty hands. Easy, isn’t it? Another thing that really looks good? Cigarette butts and filters on the golf course! Suggestion; when on number 2 tee box or number 3, look in the trash bucket by the ball washer and get a bottle or can and put it in a cup holder on your cart to hold the remains of your cigarette in it. Oh, yes, and those of you who throw them out your car window. That’s not too cool, either. Thanks for your help in keeping Kiowa the pretty and clean community we can enjoy. Dean Dorsch Mary Smith Wins Blue Ribbon At Texas State Fair Mary Smith with her Premium Blue Ribbon rug. Mary Smith moved to Lake Kiowa from Texarkana about four years ago to be near her son, Tommy Jackson, and daughter-in-law Vickie Jackson. Mary has had numerous hobbies such as bowling, gardening, canasta, traveling, and making things like latch hook rugs and a 4-foot by 3-foot doll house, including the furniture and curtains, for her granddaughters. She passes time by designing and making latch hook rugs or wall hanging art. In 2005, Mary designed a rug in the Cooke County Electric Charitable Foundation Assists Community Donna Culpepper with the Montague County Carpenter Shop prepares for the days lunch meal.

November 2014 CommuniQue 5 Kiowa Kares New Technology Arrives At Callisburg High School/Middle School Medicare Part D Training At The Lodge Nov. 7 at 6:30 p.m. One of the most challenging things for seniors is selecting the best prescription drug plan for the coming year. Many choose to stay on the plan they currently have without researching which plan will work best for them in the coming year. Important to remember: deductibles change, formularies change, monthly premiums change, the tier of the drugs change, all without you knowing until it is too late to do anything for 12 months. Annual enrollment began Oct. 15 and will end Dec. 7. During this time, you may change to the best plan for you. Many seniors choose a plan with the lowest premium. However, this seldom is the best and can cost you more over the 12-month period. It is important to do the research on www.medicare. gov. I will be glad to teach you how to do the research for yourself, your parents, or friends. Example: One of the first clients I helped this year told me she “liked her plan and wanted to keep it.” However, after I did the research, I found one of her meds was removed from the formulary and her current plan would have cost her an additional $3500 more than if she changed plans. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! COME TO THE TRAINING SESSION AT THE LODGE. I do not sell the Plan D drug plans. This will not be a selling session. but do bring your questions. Bob Bingham November 11 A student utilizes a new tablet. One of the new 2/ter mobile computer labs. Six new mobile 2/ter (Tutor) computer labs, with 30 tablets each, have arrived at the Callisburg HS/ MS Campus. The mobile carts are housed in certain classrooms for students to use daily. Teachers in English, Scientific Research and Design, Biology, US History, and UIL academic classes are finding these labs to be an added benefit to the learning process. Students are enjoying the benefits of having endless information at their fingertips and the portability of the new computers. The district was able to purchase the new mobile labs with the help of the Women’s Golf Association of Lake Kiowa. The WGA conducted a fundraiser last fall that raised over $46,000 to help purchase the mobile labs. Callisburg ISD superintendent Steve Clugston said, “the district is extremely grateful for the help of the WGA and seeing the finished product in action gets you excited about the future of learning.” The district plans to add more mobile lab carts each year to continue to enhance the learning process. Charlotte Strahan CHS Journalism RGB Eye Associates offers minimally invasive glaucoma treatment to Lake Kiowa Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the U.S. A stent is implanted during cataract surgery to improve the outflow of fluid and help control eye pressure. The procedure can reduce or eliminate the use of daily glaucoma drops. Once the procedure is completed, the device is not seen or felt.

It’s not hard to understand this. What is hard to understand, however, is just how much information you could have given to Facebook since you’ve been using the service. Everything that you’ve “Liked” has said something about your tastes. Everything that you’ve posted can be data mined by clever advertisers for more information. You may have even heard about Facebook’s newest marketing tool. It’s a massive ad network designed to distribute everything everywhere. This ad network takes advantage of the massive amount of data that Facebook has for all of its users. It’s more than you’d think, that’s for sure. Facebook’s ad network takes the knowledge that Facebook has about you and applies it to almost any app on your Smartphone. This means that Three Essential Facebook Privacy Checks You Need To Do Right Now you could be seeing some confusing ads in your future. What can you do about it? Here are three ideas that might just bring you the help that you need. 1. COVER YOUR TRACKS Think of Facebook like a massive desert. Every “Like” you’ve given out on Facebook is another footprint that marketers can use to figure out what your ideal “oasis” might look like. By oasis, I mean stuff for you to buy. Not only that, but Facebook’s new ad network could mean that something that you’ve liked in the past could be used to advertise someone else’s product. I don’t know about you, but I’m not one for giving out a free endorsement just because I clicked the like button years ago. Luckily, there’s a way to clear your Facebook footprint. Facebook Privacy Cleanup Tool will systematically run through every one of your likes that Facebook has on file and erase them one by one. Simply visit the website, click the button, and you’re good to go. 2. CLEAN UP YOUR FRIENDS LIST The more friends you have, the more likely you are to not see posts from the people who you love. Sound weird? It is. Facebook quickly figured out that there’s no way to show every single post on Facebook. While the exact algorithm for how the site shows you posts isn’t publicly available, the company has admitted a few things. Facebook shows you more posts from someone who you “engage” with through likes, comments, or just clicking on their photos The site tries to group you with people. Based on who Facebook assumes your closest friends are, you’ll see different posts. Posts are shared more widely when Facebook deems the event to be “important.” Words like “wedding” or “anniversary” in a post will probably be seen by more people. Here’s the funniest part about how Facebook notifications are distributed: The people who you argue with the most are probably the people who you’re most likely to hear from. Whether you’re an iPhone fan and they’re an Android die-hard or you just can’t agree on a favorite TV show: Arguments usually mean increased engagement. This means that it’s actually best to not interact with people who you don’t enjoy hearing from. Upcoming Meetings: Nov. 13 Getting comfortable with your iMac or Mac Book Pro Dec. 11 Christmas Party 3. KEEP TRACK OF THE DATA YOU POST ON FACEBOOK How do you keep track of the data you post on Facebook? Well, depending on how much you post, it might be impossible. What you can do, though, is keep track of who can see posts after certain dates. You do this by keeping to a Facebook “maintenance” schedule. Facebook gives you tools to manage your presence on their site. While this won’t protect you from advertisers and information brokers, it will make sure people on your Facebook friends list won’t get too much information if they snoop around on your profile.

Kiwanians repairing and coating playground equipment. KIWANIS AT WORK AGAIN Lake Kiowa Kiwanis was at work again on Sept. 20, replacing rotted boards on the teachers’ bench at Callisburg Elementary School and painting the playground equipment with a preservative that also makes the surface less slippery for the kids.

Ray Smith, will be preaching on alternative Sundays. J. Ray Smith will be starting a new series, “Nuggets from the Psalms.” On Nov. 2 he will preach on “What’s Delightful about the Law,” Psalm 1:1-3. On Nov. 16 he will preach on “The Secret for a Good Night’s Sleep,” Psalm 4:8. On Nov. 30 his topic will be “Reasons to be Thankful When You don’t feel Thankful,” Psalm 100:4-5. On Nov. 9 John Hare will be preaching on “Risk-taking Service,” Matthew 25:31-45. On Nov. 23 his subject will be “The Reason for the Reason,” Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10. Our choir will entertain us with their beautiful song on Sunday, Nov. 16. Choir practice is held on Monday mornings at 8 a.m. under the leadership of Glenn Wilson. The Chapel congregation voted to send $1,000 to aid the families of the students who were killed or injured in the terrible bus crash that was responsible for killing four members of the NCTC girls’ softball team. Look at the showcase in the Lodge hallway to see all the agencies and organizations the Kiowa Chapel has aided and continues to aid in our community. You will be amazed and very proud of our contributions. Chapel is sad to say good-bye to two members, Phyllis and Nels Thomsen, who will be leaving us to live in Florida and North Carolina, depending on the season. We are pleased to welcome back Gloria Sullo after her medical leave from Lake Kiowa. Start the holiday season out right by worshipping with your friends and neighbors at Chapel.

The officers are as follows: Bob Pistor, Chief; Bryan Buchanan, Assistant Chief; Mark Bitsche, Captain; Lou Vander Molen, Lieutenant; Monroe Salsman, Lieutenant.

Winter is beginning to show itself with recent temperatures being in the low 50s to low 80s. Beautiful fall weather, as they say. I am sure that the leaves will be turning by the time you are reading this. I love the gorgeous colors and the pleasant temperatures. The lake continues to cool and is at 72º F now. The lake level is approximately 1¾ feet low. We were blessed with some rain in October, but we need more to fill the lake to normal pool. I am not hearing about many good catches yet, but this has to pick up soon. Winter fishing can be some of the most exciting times on the lake. First off, you are one of the few that brave the elements to get out, but even more so, because the big fish come out to play! Don’t expect lots of bites, but be ready, because you don’t want to tell the story about the one that got away. You always know when folks don’t believe you. You see the head nods and rolling eyes. Many of you will be using your boats less in the coming months and need to begin thinking about winterizing Tooey finished third. Peyton Eiland was the 8-to-10 age-group winner. Gabrielle Bitsche finished second, with Colton Chapman and Cannon Sharp ending up in a third-place tie. Grayson Bee won our youngest group, kids 2 to 7 years old. Second place went to Owen Mc Donald and Braxton Ostermann finished third. In less than two hours, 125 fish were caught. This was a great time for all. If you have never made it out to experience this event, plan to be attend the spring 2015 Kid Fish event. Our bass tournament on Sept. 19 provided us some bigger stringers. Morning temperatures were somewhat cool, but warmed into a beautiful afternoon. Weigh-in was held at 2 p.m. Jordan Grant’s fish as second runnerup weighed in at 10.57lbs; Jordan Grant still is pushing for the lead in this year’s standings. First runner-up with a total weight of 11.30lbs with his picture in the paper again was Tim Purks. This guy is going to be dangerous next year. Winner Chris Henry had a very impressive string at 18.48lbs, moving him up in the standings for Angler of the Year. Mike Brindle hit the scales with Big Bass at 6.65lbs. See, Mike! It helps to win when you’re in the Big Fish pot. Also, always remember to tip your guide! Here is a quick update on the your watercraft. It is always good to drain your boat and the lower unit of water. This will prevent freezing and potential damage during the colder times to come. The Kid Fish event held on Oct. 11 was a great success. Some 500 pounds of catfish were introduced into Little Fox Pond. Approximately 50 children fished with friends and family. Lots of fun was had by all. The weather was a little cool and it was damp due to rain the night before. With that being said, the fishing started off with a great number of bites early on. These folks weren’t just fishing, they were “Catching!” Each participant under 16 received a free fishing pole to take home. And hopefully these poles are now broken in and will continue to CATCH. NASCOGA was once again present and did a great job. Everyone had hot dogs, chips, and drinks that NASCOGA provided. Many thanks go out to them for supporting the LKACC and the Kid Fish event. The LKACC also rented a bounce house from AGM Party Rentals; this always is a big hit with the children. The Kid Fish winners were: Logan Bronnenberg caught the first fish. Logan also won the 11-and-over age group. Dante Royal tied for second place with Caytie Coco, and Chandler grass carp. The permit request has been submitted and we will await an answer and delivery date. Remember this fact: you may not see immediate results next year. With your continued support we can overcome our current challenges and build programs to make this awesome community even better. Don’t forget the Angler & Conservation Club is on Facebook. Search Facebook for “Lake Kiowa Angler & Conservation Club.” Through this media we are able to upload photos, event schedules, publish tournament results, and communicate with all. We hope to see your posts and suggestions there. If you would like to submit photographs of your fishing experiences and or outings, send a note or photo to the club via our e-mail account at lkacc4u@yahoo.com.

More than 30 attended the meeting. Greetings, Hope y’all have felt fall in the air. The nice cool mornings and evenings are so pleasant. Makes you think about all the things that need to be done in the garden for fall. Like those pesky skunks and armadillos digging around in your yards. How do you get rid of these critters organically? According to local county experts, your choices are 1) get a dog; 2) put up a fence; 3) get a trap. All prove to be solid choices. There are also several home remedies to eliminate critter activity – red pepper, fox urine, etc., but the rain eventually washes it off, and you have to repeat the activity. And then there are the fall fertilizer issues: Do I fertilize in the fall or in the spring and what type fertilizer do I use? Same expert says use organic fertilizer mid-September to mid-October with a fertilizer that has a large third number in the title, which means more potassium. You still have time to do this since we are having warm fall weather. Repeat in the springtime. So, the answer is—fertilize in both spring and fall!

We can again offer some beautiful and unique homes for you to tour because of the generosity of the homeowners of Lake Kiowa. We truly appreciate those who have opened their doors to us. Don’t miss this opportunity to get acquainted with these homes and the people who own them. This year’s event will be on Sunday, Dec. 7 from 1 to 5 p.m. Tickets are available for $10 from the Lodge Office, POA Office, LKSUD Office, and from the homes of Clara Lemming, Marilyn Board, Sharon Wolek, and myself. Cash or checks will be accepted. They will also be available at the November Woman’s Club meeting. If you miss presales, tickets may be purchased the day of the tour at the door at any of the homes on the tour for $12. Since this is a major fundraiser for the KWC, we ask each person that attends to purchase a ticket. We will be collecting them at the door and stamping your hand to make it easy to get into each home on a timely basis. We’re looking forward to seeing you all there. Mindy Busch Gary and Tricia Folsom purchased their home at 1010 Kiowa Dr. E. in April, 2013 and relocated full-time to Lake Kiowa from Georgetown, Texas. Needless to say, what attracted them most to this home was the great room, which includes a large kitchen and dining area and fantastic views of Lake Kiowa from any vantage. The travertine tile is perfect for lake living (and small grandchildren’s feet!) and the large granite island gets a lot of use for food preparation as well as a family gathering place. The area most used, however, is the covered back porch. The breeze off the lake makes for pleasant mornings spent bird watching as well as observing the busy lake activities, and the outdoor fireplace provides warmth and comfort in cool fall and winter evenings. Finally, the covered dock is home to the family’s watercraft and provides easy lake access. They love their home, their friends, and the Lake Kiowa lifestyle. Welcome to their home! Gary and Penny Cotten designed and built their home at 112 Comanche Dr. E. in 2013 to create a comfortable place for family gatherings and guests. The design reflects “new country” with colors of red and blue, distressed cabinetry, and bead board paneling. The grandchildren’s bedroom has four built-in bunk beds and a hand-painted baseball mural to highlight the theme. A junior master suite welcomes guests and will accommodate future family needs. The oversized laundry room also serves as a sewing and craft room. Large windows in the kitchen and living room invite the outdoors in. Porches with swings and rocking chairs provide quiet and peaceful places to sit and visit. The patio kitchen is a favorite place for casual dining, especially when the grandsons visit. Leahray and John Wroten purchased the home at 433 Kiowa Dr. W. in 2013. A few updates grew into a remodeling project. Some of the changes include filling in the ‘80’s sunken living area and putting in hardwood floors, adding a gourmet kitchen, updating the baths, installing new lakeview windows, screening in a porch, and claiming a covered garage walkway for a laundry room. Moving the air conditioning and tankless water heater to the attic freed up some closet space. Screen doors saved from Leahray’s Serendipity Shop in Angel Fire were used for the porch and pantry. A new front door, mailbox, and landscaping completed the updates that were expertly accomplished by Bluebonnet Homes. This cozy home, with a large live oak tree shading the back deck, is filled with some of the owners’ favorite things. They enjoy experiencing Serendipity in Kiowa when they catch the blue herons and pelicans fishing in Lone Wolf Cove. Jim and Danette Morrison love their home at 103 Chism Cv. E. The builder was inspired by farmhouses across Texas when he built it. Antique screen doors and windows collected from old farms give it a country charm. Two antique stained glass windows from an old home in Gainesville hang in the kitchen, a gift from Jim to Danette. The large front porch has an embedded antique manhole cover from an old Texas town. One side of the house is a screened-in porch to sit and look out to the wooded lot. The floors are scored concrete with embedded horseshoes and leaf imprints and the ceilings are tall. A painted Texas flag is framed by a window from an old bar in Gruene, Texas. The home is simple and comfortable and a retreat for family and friends.

E Pueblo Dr. E East Gate . .S Dr Tom and Lynn Keckonen’s home at 212 Kiowa Dr. E. was built in 1977. It has had only three owners with Tom and Lynn being the only full-time residents. It was originally named the Ark and each owner has kept this name over many years. The rooster on the mailbox is a new landmark in Kiowa! Their goal has been to preserve the Ark feel of the house and rustic flavor while making needed improvements. The bar was redone and has eleven thousand pennies inlaid into the surface. It took them a whole winter and lots of wine to complete. Tom, as well as the first owner, loves to work with wood. He handcrafted the shuffleboard table, master bedroom furniture, and the bunk room. The motorcycle in the loft took over a year to complete and is made mostly from wood. Lynn’s passion was to create and decorate a home that made you feel that you were walking through a story. The bunk room, their latest project, is named the “Ark” and was built for their four grandchildren. They spend a part of each day on the porch, their favorite part of the house. They feel so blessed to be here in this wonderful community and consider Kiowa their forever home! o Ki “Build it and they will come” was the inspiration behind Keith (Pete) and Cheryl Mason’s lake house at 925 Kiowa Dr. W. since their door is always open for friends and relatives to come spend a day or a week. Nothing inhibits your view of the lake when you walk through the wide front entrance as Charles Huddleston, who designed the house, made it very open to accommodate large get-togethers. Working with Sofey Designs, Cheryl chose expansive front doors and an exotic chandelier as the welcoming features and Pete chose the expansive 9-foot Fusion granite island to accommodate a multi-cook family. The unique stone sinks, and the variety of granite throughout the house, give it a warm, but modern, feel. With its bamboo and rock wall, the master bath has an expansive whirlpool bath and lake view, giving it a spa-like feel. Even the dock, the gas fire pit, and the large bi-level deck were designed with entertaining in mind and have become their favorite place to relax with music, the outdoor TV, or just enjoy the view. time for FALL check-ups!

LandmarkShield.com (800) 618-5503 November 2014 CommuniQue 27 LAKE KIOWA WGA RAISES $60,000 FOR ABIGAIL’S ARMS, THANK YOU TO ALL OUR SUPPORTERS! The annual WGA charity events— Girls Night Out held on Sept. 16, the charity dinner and auction held on Sept. 30, and the Sustaining Hope Golf Tournament on Oct. 1 raised over $60,000 for the Abigail’s Arms Family Crisis Shelter. Abigail’s Arms has been a consistent part of the work of eliminating violence for over 30 years. They are a nonprofit organization that serves victims of domestic/intimate partner violence, sexual assault, and other violent crimes. Their mission is to provide safety, promote stability, and assist in the holistic healing and restoration of women, girls, men, boys, and families. Abigail’s Arms had their grand opening of a new facility in May, so their bricks and mortar are paid for. The funds raised by the WGA will be used for the children’s recreational and cultural programs. The community has been very generous in support of Abigail’s Arms during this year’s events. There were 97 golf tournament hole sponsors (most of them noted in the October CommuniQué) and 121 auction item, food, and service contributors to the event. Besides being a great benefit to fighting domestic violence, the Girls Night Out entertainment was terrific, the food organized by the Abigail’s Arms Committee was exceptional, and the golf tournament was great fun. The LKWGA and Abigail’s Arms would like to thank all who made this year’s charity event a big success financially for Abigail’s Arms and socially for Lake Kiowa! Additional Hole Sponsors Not Listed in the October CommuniQué: Maureen & John Anselmi, Lorene & Mickey Nix, Steven & Lucy Sutton – Memorial, Timothy Henderson Chiropractic, Walt & Dru Scholl, John & Alice Barnfield.

A still warm day on Oct. 8 brought out 42 players for the monthly scramble. The monthly General Meeting followed the scramble. Our ending bank balance as of 9/30/14 was $10,284.71. Earmarked money totaled $1,787.30, leaving a true ending balance of $8,497.41. It was announced that Leanne Bitsche shot a 97 and received her “Broke 100” pin. Our total membership now stands at 242. Please welcome new members Connie Fisher, Theresa Lonergen, Sam Noble, and Dorothy Shearer. Karen Brewton reported that the Nominating Committee has almost filled the proposed slate for 2015 WGA officers. We will be voting on this slate of officers at our November WGA general meeting. The membership voted to reallocate monies previously earmarked for landscaping to go toward the purchase of an ice machine. The machine will be housed in the cart barn and will be used during tournaments and after golf socials. This was a joint purchase with the MGA. Begin thinking of how you would like to use any excess funds from 2014 and e-mail your suggestions to President Brewton. With the end of 2014 approaching, Genevieve Avinger is already working on the Christmas lunch scheduled for Dec. 3 and she needs help with decorating. Please give her a call if you want to help. Also, Katherine Thacker and Maureen Anselmi are working on the Christmas dinner and dance scheduled for Dec. 5. Tickets will go on sale at the Nov. 5 meeting. You should mark your calendars for these end-of-year events and join in the holiday festivities for fun and fellowship with your fellow WGA members. The Club Championship Tournament was blessed with good weather and had 34 players competing in the 18-hole group and 8 players competing in the 9-hole group. Your 2014 18-hole Club Champion is Carolyn Pannell and your 9-hole Club Champion is Sally Houk. Margaret Dressel and her committee of Gwen Mullins, Maureen Anselmi, and Barbara Cole did a super job in making this a very successful and fun tournament. It takes lots of support to host a tournament and thanks go to the committee, Brown McCrory, the Pro Shop staff, and all the sponsors who donated food, refreshments, snacks, and goodies for the tournament. The Sustaining Hope Charity Golf Tournament benefiting Abigail’s Arms Family Crisis Shelter in Gainesville was a very successful event due to all the hard work of Chairperson Lori Brindle, her assistant Toni Andrews, the committee members, MGA members, and a host of volunteers. Money-makers for the event were Girls' Night Out, hole sponsors, a silent auction, live auction, a Mexican dinner hosted by Abigail’s Arms, donations, and 107 ladies participating in the tournament. A total of $60,300 was raised for Abigail’s Arms due to the hard work of all involved. It definitely takes an army to pull off such a successful event and the WGA Board appreciates what everyone did in supporting this worthy cause. Please do your part by repairing pitch marks on the greens and filling divots. These are small tasks we can all do to help keep our course looking good. Nov. 5 will be the next scramble, meeting, and lunch. Election of officers is on the agenda.

Namely that each player will try to make the best score at every hole in every round and that the player will post every acceptable round for peer review. The player and the player’s Handicap Committee have joint responsibility for adhering to these premises. As a player you must post a nine-hole score if you play 7 to 12 holes and post an eighteen-hole score if you play 13 or more holes. Scores for any unplayed holes must be recorded as par plus any handicap strokes you are entitled to receive. Further, it is your responsibility to insure that all scores are posted accurately. If you fail to post all your scores, your handicap becomes just that, a handicap—not only to you in individual play, but also to your teammates in team play. Failure to accurately post your acceptable scores undermines the purpose of the USGA Handicap System, which is to make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling players of differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis. While we all have different abilities, we are peers on our golf course and our play is subject to peer review. Peer review is the ability of golfers to gain an understanding of a player’s potential ability and to form a reasonable basis for supporting or disputing a score that has been posted. If your peers dispute your handicap, it will come to the Handicap Committee for resolution. Ultimately it is you, the player, who insures the integrity of your handicap and the handicap system. It’s simple to do: play your best on every hole and accurately post all your acceptable scores.

It is always enjoyable to hear stories of their travels, and share updates on what has been happening here at Lake Kiowa while they have been away. If you are new to Lake Kiowa and like playing cards, please consider joining us on Wednesdays and Fridays. The game is free, the laughter is in abundance, and I guarantee you will enjoy socializing with a diverse and friendly group of people. B.R. Clements had another fantastic poker month. He won the tournament, had the second-highest number of points for the month, and he had four jacks. The jacks were in fact a frequent visitor to the tables. B.R. had luck with them and so did Elaine Blackwell and Truman Houk. Kim Howell had good luck with four eights, Curtis Walker enjoyed the winnings from his four sevens, and Harold Bosse had fun with his four twos. We also celebrated Frank Amthor’s birthday with a delicious German chocolate cake. The points leaders were B.R. Clements, Kim Howell, and Randy Howell (seated). August championship winners were B.R. Clements (first) and Dottie Heerema (second). The championship winners for August were B.R. Clements finishing first and Dottie Heerema second. The point leaders were Randy Howell with 1,156 points, B.R. Clements with 1,115.5, and Kim Howell with 728 points. A huge thank you goes to the Lodge staff for continuing to look after the poker group. We really do appreciate all the hard work and support of Penny, Barton, Justin, Karla, and Ty. We hope to see you at the Lodge at 6:45 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays for a friendly, free, and fun game of Texas Hold’Em. You will often find a number of players around 6 p.m. enjoying dinner beforehand in the 19th Hole and dining room; we are always ready to welcome anyone who would like to join us.

One dog was transported to Noah’s Ark shelter in Gainesville. No other reportable activity garnered anywhere close to those numbers, but Security patrol did make seven traffic stops for observed moving violations. Two motor vehicle accidents were investigated, three motorists were given assistance, and warnings were given to three golf cart operators for rules violations. Seven welfare checks were performed, two unlocked doors were discovered, and three trash out too early notices were dispensed. Response was also indicated to five business alarms, two residence alarms, and one 9-1-1 hang up. Two incidents of criminal mischief were reported, including damage to a pickup in the 500 block of Kiowa Dr. W. and the uprooting of a mailbox in the 1200 block of Kiowa Dr. E. Security patrol investigated two suspicious vehicles, two reports of suspected prowlers, a suspicious person, a disturbing the peace complaint, and a reported theft. One party of revelers was removed from the West Beach after closing, one party of golfers was removed from a closed course, and a group of kids playing volleyball was removed from the tennis court. Cooke County Sheriff’s Office deputies were dispatched to Lake Kiowa to assist Security with a welfare check, a suspicious vehicle, and with the aforementioned donkey. Four citations were issued by the Security Department and are categorized as follows: Speeding – two, Damage to Property – one, and Unauthorized Use of Id Card – one. Twenty-one ICVFD page-outs were monitored by Security dispatch. On six occasions, Security Medical First Responders were dispatched to medical emergencies within Lake Kiowa. Gary Davidson Chief of Security GOLF COURSE UPDATE Fall is finally here. Cool nights and highs in the 80s. Leaves are changing colors. This might be my favorite time of the year. That being said, there is no slowing down in the Golf Course Maintenance Department. Beginning the week of Oct. 20, we will begin our fall pre-emergence herbicide application. We will focus on sensitive areas around greens first. After we complete the greens surrounds, we will spray “wall to wall.” This will include all turf areas except greens. This is a very time-consuming process and may take up to two weeks to complete. We will do our best not to interfere with golf. Also, we have begun our switch out in our annual flowerbeds. This week, we removed old plant material and prepped the beds for our winter annual flowers. We will begin planting new flowers during the week of Oct. 20. October 28, 2014 will mark my oneyear anniversary. The last year has been a whirlwind. It seems to have flown by, but, at times, especially in March and April, days seemed to be excruciatingly long. I have learned a ton this past year. The brutal winter presented a multitude of challenges in the spring and early summer. One thing that remained constant throughout that time was the support that I received from you, the membership. It would have been easy to lose faith in me and my staff, but we developed a plan, communicated that plan, and executed that plan. As a result, the golf course is in very good shape heading into the winter. Beginning last month, I modified my weekly nutrient application to include more potassium. Increased potassium helps with carbohydrate storage within the plant. This allows the plant to have an energy reserve to use when it comes out of dormancy in the spring. In September, I went to the MGA Board of Directors and asked for volunteers to help pull covers on greens this winter when the temperatures drop. The response was excellent. Thank you to those that signed up to help. Let’s hope that we don’t need to put the covers on very often this winter. Again, thank you for all of your support over the last year! I look forward to more years here at Lake Kiowa. Please continue to fill your divots and repair your ball marks. See you around the course.

Our Autumn Harvest LTO will feature the flavors of pumpkin, turkey, salmon, sweet potatoes, and maple syrup.

We still have some space available, so contact us quickly and make your reservation. Charlie Foster PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER REPORT Public Works Public Works would like to remind everyone that the fall cleanup is scheduled for Nov. 13-15. As usual, there will be no hazardous materials or chemicals allowed. This includes batteries, paint, containers of yard chemicals, tires, appliances with Freon still in them, and so on. The location for drop off will be at the campground parking lot. Parks And Lake There is still no runoff of water even with the recent rains. The lake elevation on Oct. 13 was at 698.40. This is down from last month’s report. Work continues with physical and chemical removal of unwanted growth of algae and lake plants. Roads And Bridge There are new signs at the front exit to help with the problem of people leaving the store area or entering from the highway inbound in the outbound lanes. The lanes are now marked wrong way along with the One-Way sign and Do Not Enter sign that already existed. Care should be taken when driving in the outbound lane. Road rejuvenator will be applied on various roads starting Oct. 20. Please drive carefully in the application zones. Traffic delays will be held to a minimum.

The ice machine will belong to the MGA and they will be responsible for the maintenance on the machine. Leslie Tomich made the motion to allow the MGA to place the ice machine in the cart barn and was seconded by Craig Lamkin. All were in favor. Motion carried. IX. 2014/2015 Budget - President Stewart presented the 2014/2015 Budget to the Board and asked if there was any discussion. Justin McMurry asked about the Lodge kitchen cleaning service being deleted and expressed his desire to keep it in the budget. Community Manager Randy Schmaltz told him that, instead of hiring an outside cleaning service, they would use in-house personnel to clean the kitchen. There was some discussion about the Poker Facilitator and if we needed to keep this item in the budget. It was decided to keep it in the budget. Bill Turner made the motion to approve the Budget dated 9/14/14 as written and was seconded by Craig Lamkin. All were in favor. Motion carried. X. Treasurer’s Report - Bill Turner gave the August Treasurer’s Report. He stated that because the Office Manager had not had a budget to work with, the Treasurer’s Report as printed was misleading. All of the income figures were predicated on the 5% increase in due, but the 2013/2014 Expense figures were used indicating a budgeted surplus of $12,296. We do not budget for surpluses and this will be corrected after the 2014/2015 Budget has been approved. He did point out that the Lodge liquor and beer sales are almost $4,000 better than budget and that food sales are $7,500 better than budget. He pointed out that some of the labor cost is lower on account of fewer employees than needed in the Central Garage. The surplus that is showing in net revenue is a little misleading on account of not having a budget to work with. XI. Managers’ Report - Randy Schmaltz: a. For the Golf Course, a Rough Mower will be purchased from Austin Turf & Tractor Co. for a price of $36,065. This will be a John Deere model 7700. The funds will come out of the Asset Replacement Reserve Fund. Also a Utility Cart will be purchased from Luber Bro. Co. and will be an Ez -Go Terrain 250G for a cost of $7,999. This will also come out of the Asset Replacement Reserve Fund. b. Vandalism Report - three young men have been caught who were damaging the golf course and stealing from houses bordering the course. They were not from Lake Kiowa. They parked their car along the road near the east gate and crossed over the fence to enter the property. Security tracked them down using pictures captured by security cameras. Charges were filed. c. Abacus Update and Membership Cards - Randy Schmaltz told the board that we should be able to start getting the new plastic cards within the next two weeks. He said that you will be able to go onto the website and fill out the form inserting a photo and your card will be processed. d. Atkins Revised Sediment Proposal - As of to date, we have spent a total of $21,259 on studies for the sediment removal in the lake. We have pending $46,000 for other samplings of the lake. e. ARRF Road Renovation - For 2014 the road renovation program will have $250,000 coming out of Asset Replacement Reserve Fund. The program will use a Rejuvenator to improve the condition of the road. Also, on the road that was treated last year they will cover with a seal for further protection. The sealer requires 6 hours to dry and they will do one side of the road at a time to allow those living along the route to get home. After all the roads that are scheduled for this year are done, they will re-stripe the roads. XII. Additional Business Community Manager Randy Schmaltz informed the Board that he had been elected to the National Board of Director’s for APCM, the Association of Professional Community Managers. President Stewart congratulated him on this as the entire board agreed. XIII.
