At this time of the year, when
water pipes freeze and break, the first
reaction most of us have is get the
water turned off. Below is the “Cutoff Valve Requirements” as stated
in our Rate Order. Each customer is
required to have their own cut-off
valve between the District’s cut-off
valve in the plumbing going to the
house. It also goes on to state that a
customer is not to use the District’s
valve, which is generally in the meter
box and next to the meter for cutting
the customer’s water off.
Cut-off Valve Requirement: The
District shall require each customer to
have a cut-off valve on the customer’s
side of the meter for purposes of
isolating the customer’s service
pipeline and plumbing facilities from
the District’s water pressure. The
valve shall meet AWWA standards
(a ball valve is preferred). The
customer’s use of the District’s curb
stop or other similar valve for such
purposes is prohibited. A customer
shall be subject to charges for any
damage to the District’s meter or
other service equipment.
When water is spewing all over, we
know that most residents run straight
to the meter box to turn off the water
and usually find the box is full of
sand or mud put there by gophers or
other burrowing animals, covering
everything including the meter and
the valve.
When most homes were constructed,
a cut-off valve was installed between
the District’s meter box and the
customer’s house for the customer to
be able to shut off his/her water using
their own valve. Cut-off valves are
generally located at the point that the
outside plumbing is connected to the
residence. It is normal for an outside
faucet to be located in the area.
We recommend you find the valve
that should have been installed and
make sure that it is usable before an
emergency comes up. An old valve
that has not been used or exercised
probably would not be of any use.
If you cannot find this valve or it is
inoperable to satisfy the above CutOff Valve Requirement, you will need
to install or have one installed. We
hope that you do not have any water
emergencies, but it is good insurance
to have a valve in a known place and
usable in a moment of need!

Community Manager’s Report
Happy New Year to All!
I want to thank this year's Board
candidates. Several years ago I was
asked in a Lake Kiowa Leadership
class what my biggest concern was
facing Lake Kiowa. My answer
was the decline in volunteerism by
members of the community. To that I
would add the increase in apathy by
the members. The number of members
that are active in the leadership of the
community continues to dwindle.
Finding volunteers needed to fill
vacancies on committees is becoming
more difficult. With that said, I would
like to thank the candidates who have
taken the time to run for the Board of
Directors. The community is governed
by its members and for Lake Kiowa to
grow, we need members to participate
in the governance of the community.
So when asked to consider running for
the Board, or serve on a committee,
please consider what is being asked
of you. Abraham Lincoln once said,
“You cannot escape the responsibility
of tomorrow by evading it today.”
In the December Board meeting
amendments were made to two
existing rules.
The first
rule, Rule 4.04 in the ACC
Handbook, was amended to
specify six federal holidays
(New Year’s Day, Memorial
Day, 4th of July, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving and Christmas
Day) where no permitted work is
allowed.
The second rule change was to
Rule 4.3.4.g Trash and Refuse. In this
amendment, the penalty for placing
trash containers street side prior to
sunrise of the day before pickup, or
leaving the containers out past sunrise
of the day following pickup, is now
considered a Minor Infraction as
described in the Lake Kiowa Property
Owners Association Amended and
Restated Basic Information, Policy,
Procedures, and Rules. Property
owners and lessees will initially be
given a warning; thereafter, the next
infraction will result in a monetary
penalty. Continued infractions will
result in a suspension of privileges.
Issuance of the new identification
cards is just around the corner. The
online application has been provided
to a few members for
testing before it’s rolled out
to the membership. The
identification cards are part
of an overall upgrade of the
POA operating program that
includes the Lodge point of
sale program (POS), Administration,
Security, and Code Compliance, all
under one program. Instructional
meetings on how to apply for the cards
will be forthcoming. Watch for dates
and times on the front gate marquee
and your e-mails.
To close, I want to thank all of you
for your continued support. Each
year offers new challenges and 2014
was no different. However, looking
forward January is the start of a new
year, and we are ready to take on the
new challenges that will confront us,
and work together to solve them, just
as we have in the past.

THE LEAVES
HAVE FALLEN
Don’t let an ember from a distant
wild land fire or a nearby house fire
land on or near your home where
the fallen leaves have collected in
the valleys of your roof, gutters,
and flowerbeds. The FIREWISE Committee says “be FIREWISE smart”
and pick up THE LEAVES THAT HAVE FALLEN.
Sam Moore
Firewise Committee Chair
“The Schneider Family”
We would like to thank all of
our friends and clients for your
kindness and support. We have
so many wonderful memories
over the last 25 years with
special friends Lake Kiowa has
blessed us with. We wish you
a Happy and Healthy New
Year!

In memory of Ruth Robinson To the Lake Kiowa Community:
The family of Ruth Robinson
wishes to express their deep
appreciation to those who have
offered kindness and support. The
prayers, messages, phone calls,
food, flowers, and plants have
meant so much to us and provided
comfort in our sadness. Ruth was
blessed to have so many people who
loved and cared for her.
Thank you for everything,
Charlie Robinson and family
Thank you is inadequate to
express my gratitude for all the
support I received during John'’s
short bout with cancer and his
passing. The expressions of love
came from so many people and in
so many ways. Food and flowers
and cards and visits and phone
calls arrived in a steady stream. I
am so blessed. Family members
went home knowing that I am in
a safe and happy place. To those
who housed family members, I
was so grateful to have my loved
ones close by. To those who have
helped me with the Model A and
all the tools in the garage--I can
only share what a relief it is to have
had help. The Woman’s Club and
WGA continue to check on me
and invite me to move beyond
the sadness that is present. You in
Lake Kiowa have shown me what
Abby Cameron had a "tree of community really looks and feels
gratitude" in her front yard on Kiowa like. I thank you and look forward

Lake Kiowa Carolers Share Their Christmas Spirit
Do you see what I see? Do you hear what I hear? It is a caravan
of golf carts playing and singing Christmas carols. Yes, on Friday
evening, Dec. 12, 14 couples decorated their golf carts with Christmas
lights and paraded around the north end of Lake Kiowa. They
stopped at several homes in the Cayuga, Blackfoot and Chippewa
area and sang carols to the homeowners. The surprised homeowners
responded very excitedly to the unexpected carolers.

January is the month for
making resolutions. How
about making a resolution
about your spiritual life? All
Kiowans are invited to attend
an
inter-denominational
service every Sunday at 8
a.m. The Chapel welcomes
all to attend. You will be
welcomed cordially and
offered a cup of coffee during
visiting before the service.
Chapel has no building
to maintain, so we give
our offerings to 12 service
agencies in our county to improve the
lives of people in need. Look in the
shadow box by the dining room to see
the agencies we send a check to every
month. We also are a prayer center for
those of our community or friends of
our members who need special prayers
during times of illness or grief.
Chapel has a choir that needs
your voice. They perform every
third Sunday and rehearse every
Monday morning at 8 a.m.
in the Lodge. They have an
excellent director in Glenn
Wilson and two expert
pianists, Shirley O’Dell and
Linda Ford.
Chapel is served by
two pastors who alternate
Sundays. For the month
of January: Rev. J. Ray
Smith will be continuing
his series on “Nuggets from
the Psalms.” He will be
preaching on Jan. 4 on the
“Hiding Place,” Psalm 32:7.
On Jan. 18 he will preach on “Two
Ways God Guides,” Psalm 32:8-9.
Rev. John Hare will be preaching on
Jan. 11 on “The Satisfaction Survey,”
Corinthians 1:1-9. On Jan. 25 he
will preach on “WWJHMD,” Micah
6:1-8.
Hope to see you in Chapel on
Sunday.
Joan Carroll
Chapel choir director Glenn Wilson (C) led the singing at the front gate
lighting ceremony.
We hope to see you on
Sunday morning at our
Chapel service. Make a
resolution to come and give
us a try, or, if you have
gotten out of the habit of
coming, come back and join
us.

importance of calling 9-1-1. The other

willing to bet we would have been on
scene before we were even dispatched.
Please call 9-1-1 first and then, if you
feel up to it, call someone else.
The firefighters and the board got
together for a dinner at the Lodge
in November. I had the pleasure
of handing out three awards. The
Firefighter of the Year was awarded to
Monroe Salsman. Monroe is always
willing to respond to anything when
we need help. He has taken several
days off from his work so that the
fire department can accomplish some
goals. Mark Bitsche was awarded for
responding to the most calls. This is
the second year in a row Mark has
won this award. He has responded to
80% of our calls. Ben Hatton decided
to step down as Captain. I gave him
a special award for his dedication
and service to the fire department as
Captain and Training Officer. All
of your firefighters are dedicated to
gaining more knowledge so they can
provide you the best service possible.
In November we responded to 25
calls for service, making for a total of
248 calls for the year. Eleven of the
November calls were inside the gates
and 14 were outside. For the year
60% of the calls were outside of the
Lake Kiowa gates.

Cathy Wilson hosted the Quilt Bee
Christmas Party on Dec. 1. There
were 25 members attending and lots
of wonderful food to share. Thank
you, Cathy, for opening your newly
remodeled home to the Quilt Bee.
Sharon Catlett’s leadership again
this year was much appreciated and
everyone was in agreement that she
should continue this leadership. There
was a discussion about the “2014
Challenge” and the liberties that were
taken with the rules. It was decided
that the “2015 Challenge” would be
a “two-color” project and everyone
was encouraged to really stick to two
colors.
Our next meeting will be on Monday,
Jan. 5 at 7 p.m. in the Lodge, while the
next Sew Day will be Friday, Jan. 16
from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Show and tell revealed a variety of
projects for the 2014 Challenge. All
were supposed to be made with the
colors of the three crayons that were
randomly assigned at the beginning of
this year. A few examples are pictured
here, but it was not possible to include
them all.
Carole Clausing
Cathy Wilson, hostess, showed an example of her
bobbinwork on this pillow. She also took the time to
explain the process.
Judy Beard used her colors to knit a ruffled scarf for
our leader, Sharon Catlett.
Patty Fritz did a miniature quilt with her colors.

January 2015
Here we are in January 2015,
holidays behind us and a new year
in front of us. At the writing of this
article, the lake is beginning to clear
again. Water is holding on at 56 degrees
and the lake level is nearing two feet
low. On Dec. 14, while out fishing, I
noticed a new form of algae growing
in the lake. This algae is very slimy
and green, only growing in shallow
water, which is most coves. It covered
my outboard and trolling motors.
The algae is so dense it prevented
use of my trolling motor, matting up
around the motor head and stopping
the propeller. After some hard work
and several times removing the algae
from the motor head, I was able to get
out of the shallow area. Just a word of
advice, you may want to avoid these
areas until the algae goes away. I have
never seen these algae in our lake and
was surprised by it with the water
cooling off. You normally see these
types of algae in warming waters. I
am fairly confident the algae will die

out as the water continues to cool.
For those of you who did not see it
in the December issue, the grass carp
were re-introduced to Lake Kiowa
on Nov. 13. We now wait and watch
to see them gain control of the lake
vegetation once again. As published,
it could take up to two years to begin
seeing improvements so we must be
patient.
With all 2014 bass tournaments
completed, we can announce the
winners for this year. Anglers compete
at seven monthly bass tournaments.
Of the seven tournaments, the five
best weights entered are combined to
determine the year-end weight. Heavy
weight wins Angler of the Year. Youth
Angler for 2014 was Trevor Coker
with 9.19lbs. He had a great year with
us fishing most of the tournaments, as
well as fishing with his father on Moss
Lake. Trevor is investing some of his
winnings in new tackle and saving the
rest.
Moving on to Angler of the Year,
Chris Henry took 1st place in the
tournament standing for 2014 with
86.93lbs. Chris has done very well; he
spends a lot of time fishing most every
week. He hosts an evening tournament
the weeks that we do not tournament
fish during the summer. If you are
interested in joining these evening
tournaments, speak with Chris or any
of the angler folks.
Winning Big Bass 2014 was Jordan
Grant at 8.28lbs. These folks all
worked hard to get to the top this year.
Congratulations to all the winners.
I want to thank all of the folks that
supported the Angler & Conservation
Club in 2014. We hope you will

January Program
Susie Black Holamon, a neighbor
and friend to many of you, will be
presenting our Jan. 8 program. Susie
grew up in the Lakewood area of
Dallas, graduated from Woodrow
Wilson High School, enrolled in
Texas Tech University, and never
looked back. She received her BA in
advertising art from Tech and, later,
her teacher certificate from McMurray
University in Abilene where she and
her family lived for 29 years.
Susie recently retired from teaching
21 years of high school art. She is
now a full-time artist in our area with
showings in galleries and a studio art
business.
While this all sounds very normal,
she has a bizarre true story to tell.
Please join us for lunch Jan. 8 when
Susie describes the journey that led to
her book, “My Five Moms.”

great discussion on how peace and

how we are responsible for pursuing
them. Hopefully, you had a wonderful

look at Chapter 7, “Patience.” This
can be a tough character quality to
practice. Our study will reveal the
many aspects of patience and how it is
associated with our devotion to God.

together as responses to No Trump.
They will focus on doubles on Feb. 19

time at the end of the hour to talk about
continuing the auction and other basic

We are so thankful that we were

Christmas Party for Callisburg Families Fulfills Needs
KIWANIS CELBRATES CHRISTMAS BY GIVING
The pictures on this page show
the items brought to the Kiwanis
Christmas party for the families
in need identified by the staff at
Callisburg Elementary. These are for
“general” needs, and are given from
the hearts and budgets of individual
Kiwanis members. In addition, the
staff provided a needs and wish list
for families that we have “adopted”
to provide very specific gifts that will
be purchased by a “shopping team”
comprised of Kiwanis members and
Callisburg Elementary staff. Those
items were purchased from the Lake
Kiowa Kiwanis Club’s budget, which
is funded by all you good folks in Lake
Kiowa who attend our fundraising
events. With that in mind, you may
take credit for some of these gifts
yourself!
We also had a request in December
from a family who needed some serious
repairs to their home to prepare for the
cold winter weather ahead. A hearty
group of “home repair” Kiwanians
showed up and made all the needed
repairs. The former motto for Kiwanis
was “We Build,” which was always
appropriate to the many playground,
wheelchair ramp, and home repairs
made by Kiwanians for almost 100
years. That motto has been replaced
by “Young Children Priority One,”
which certainly identifies our main
focus.
Thanks again for all of you who
contribute directly and attend our
fundraisers to help us do the work we
do.

WGA News
The 2014 season
was plagued with
wet, rainy, and cold
weather.
This was
far more than normal,
causing many playdays and
scrambles to be canceled or
rescheduled. A cold start did,
however, turn into a warm and
very spectacular day on Nov. 19 and
brought out 25 players for our last
scramble of the year. Those who
braved the early cold were rewarded
for their participation by earning five
Pro Shop points.
Our 2014 season came to a close
with the WGA board and members
given many opportunities to stay
involved and busy. The board met
on Dec. 1 to decorate the 19th
Hole for the Christmas season. On
Dec. 3 we held our Christmas
Luncheon and General Meeting. On
Dec. 5 we all enjoyed a very special
Christmas dinner and dance.
At our General Meeting it was
reported that our ending bank balance
as of 11/30/14 was $7,651.48.
Earmarked money totaled $787.30,
leaving a true ending balance of
$6,864.18. Membership voted to use
the earmarked money for the purchase
of pink commemorative breast cancer
awareness golf flags, portable electric
ice chests and coolers, and benches to
be placed outside the Pro Shop.
Our total membership for 2014
was 243 members.
Membership
forms for 2015 were mailed out with
the December POA bill. We hope
everyone will join the WGA in 2015.
There are so many opportunities
with your membership that includes
receiving a directory that lists all WGA
and MGA member names, addresses,
phone numbers, a listing of all events
planned for the 2015 season, and other
useful information. You must get your
dues in to Danette Morrison by the
end of January to get your name into
this highly-used directory.
Any organization wishing to be
considered as the recipient of the
charity tournament needs to let Lori
Brindle know as soon as possible.
Presentations by organizations will be
made at the WGA general meetings
in January and February. The board
hopes to have a decision by the March
meeting for membership vote.
Genevieve Avinger and her
committee did an awesome job with
their decorations for our luncheon in
December. The Winter Wonderland
theme
provided
a
wonderful
atmosphere for the members to
enjoy. Mable Samples provided a
very entertaining presentation for the
installation of 2015 WGA officers by
using the theme of “It Takes a Village.”
Mabel made an analogy that related
the role and duties of each officer to
the various components of a village.
The 2015 WGA officers are:
President - Lori Brindle, 1st VP
(Membership) - Danette Morrison, 2nd
VP (Ways & Means) - Dee Dorman,
Secretary - Susan Edwards, Treasurer
- Sharon Mitcham, Reporter - Linda
Slater, 18 Hole Golf Co-Chairpersons
- Janice Richey and Sharon James,
9-Hole Golf Chairperson - June Cloud,
and Parliamentarian - Karen Brewton
There are so many opportunities for
you to get involved with the WGA.
Please consider being on a committee
and volunteer for some of the options
available to you.
Maureen
Anselmi,
Katherine
Thacker, and their committee planned
and delivered a fantastic end-of-theyear Christmas dinner and dance.
Festive holiday decorations, a sitdown meal, music, dancing, and
visiting with friends meant an evening
to remember.

the 2014 winners. They are: A-player

Milestone pins were presented to
Dee Dorman for breaking 80, and
Lena Howell and Sharon Mitcham
for breaking 90. Laura Childers was
presented with a plaque for her holein-one on #5.
Year-end awards were presented to
the following: USGA Most Improved
- Nancy Gingerich and Local Paula
Brinson; USGA Most Chip-ins Sharon James and Local - Jan Thies;
USGA Most Birdies (3-way tie) Shirley Cramer, Cathy Wilson, and
Margie Nash and Local - Mindy
Busch.
The meeting came to a conclusion
with Karen Brewton thanking
members, committees, and the Board
for their participation, support, and
flexibility in all WGA activities, thus
resulting in a most successful year for
the LKWGA. Karen was presented a
gift as a token of appreciation for her
leadership and work in 2014.
For those who are playing this
time of year, don’t forget to fill your
divots.
On Wednesday, Jan. 7 we will kick
off our first general meeting and lunch
for 2015. Please make plans to attend
and start the year off with your golfing
buddies.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

"Revenge on
Rotor"
That some golfers don’t try to make the best score on every hole in every
round and don’t always post every acceptable round for peer review?
Those are the basic tenets of the Handicap System and if not followed a
player’s Handicap Index does not accurately reflect their potential ability.
Why is that important? For fair and equitable competition. As golfers
we’re all familiar with the term sandbagger—the player who artificially
inflates their handicap to improve their chances of winning tournaments
or bets. There’s also the opposite end of the spectrum—the player who
artificially deflates their handicap to appear better than they are. Let’s call
them egomeisters. In both cases, handicap manipulation not only hurts
the individual manipulating the handicap, but it also hurts everyone they
play with or against. In an individual or team event the sandbagger has an
advantage over other competitors while the egomeister is at a disadvantage
because they can’t compete on an individual basis and they drag down the
whole team in a team competition. Many of us know sandbaggers and
egomeisters and while the Handicap System has some checks and balances
it is ultimately each of our responsibility to identify such individuals through
peer review. Peer review is the one sure way to identify and correct the
problem. As defined in the USGA Handicap Manual, “Peer review is the
ability of players 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.” Peer review is not easy because it means that someone has to step
up and say something when a player manipulates the system and creates a
handicap that does not accurately reflect his or her ability. You can step up
and personally question a player or you can let the Handicap Committee
know of your suspicions and we will investigate. The Handicap System’s
purpose is to make the game of golf more enjoyable by enabling golfers of
differing abilities to compete on an equitable basis. A Handicap Index that
a player’s peers have reviewed and verified as truly reflecting a player’s
potential ability is the only way to ensure that happens

Texas hold'em poker
High School football
season is finally over
and it is great to be back at poker on
Fridays. Given the number of winners
this month, it looks like I’ve missed a
lot of excitement!
There is also a change to how poker
is to be run at Lake Kiowa. Historically,
players have accumulated points based
on how they ranked at every game.
This changed in November; now every
Wednesday and Friday poker will be
played as a tournament with a firstand second-place winner. Points will
no longer be awarded. A small token
of appreciation will be donated by the
Lodge to the winners. As always, we
are very grateful to the Lodge staff
for their continued support of the
poker group, and to Jerry Bergeron
for managing the smooth running of
every game.
Winners in November (1st and 2nd
place) were: Nov. 5 Randy Howell
and Peggy Lewis; Nov. 7 Pat Mead
and Roger Hereema; Nov. 12 Tom
Blackwell and Craig Bell; Nov. 14
Jack Walker and Dany Ford; Nov. 19
Debbie Moody and Pat Mead; Nov.
21 Dan Deaton and Cheryl Amthor;
Nov. 26 Bill Thompson and Roger
Hereema; and Nov. 28 Billy Woods
and Debbie Moody.
The best hands this month were
Debbie Moody and Brian Brister with
a straight flush; Craig Bell with four
aces; Elaine Blackwell and Gloria
Sullo with four queens; Shirley
Cramer with four jacks; Dee Irwin,
Diane Slaterlee, and Sharon Smith
had four nines; Pat Mead and B.R.
December Best Hands
Clements had four sevens; and Roger
Hereema had four threes.
If you are interested in playing Texas
Hold ‘Em, we play every Wednesday
and Friday at 6:45 p.m. at the Lodge.
The game is free, with laughter in
abundance, and we are always ready
to welcome new players.

LODGE NEWS
FRIENDS OF THE LODGE (FOL)
Here’s wishing everyone had a
happy and safe Christmas and New
Year’s with family and friends. We
have a lot to report this month so let’s
get to it.
Again, the FOL threw the party
of the year with “An Evening with
the Family” New Year’s Eve bash.
Starting with the greeters asking “how
you doin'?” and who then turned into
the Ike and Tina Review entertaining
the crowd and setting the mood for the
night. Hope the “guys” at the door
didn’t scare anyone when you had
to pass them to get to the beautifully
transformed Assembly Room with
decorations of wine bottle chandeliers,
roses, yummy bread sticks on all the
tables, draped “twinkling” ceiling,
and New York stage setting.
The menu of pure Italian food
done by the Lodge staff was “molto
buono!!” Antipasto platters, Caesar
salad, spaghetti and meatballs, sausage
and peppers with fettuccine, chicken
piccata, baked ziti, vegetables, and
of course, for dessert cannoli and
tiramisu. Again, “molto buono” and
"lavoro avvervio bene" (job well
done). BRAVO! At the stroke of
midnight the balloons dropped, the
champagne flowed, and everyone had
a serving of black eyed peas for good
luck in 2015.
Toney Walsh did his usual superb
job in entertaining us with his velvet
voice and great choices in songs
and music. The Foto Booth was a
new venue for the party. It was very
successful and everyone had a good
time hamming it up in front of the
camera with different props.
There are so many people to thank it
would take a whole page to list them
all, but thank you to the FOL Board
and all the members who helped in
making this another successful event.
Joint events of the FOL and the
Lodge made 2014 a very busy year as
we hosted the Valentine’s Day Dinner/
Dance in February, St. Patrick’s
Day Dinner/Dance, Oktoberfest in
October, and Sleuths of Kiowa in
November. FOL events were Member
Appreciation in April, Fourth of July
celebration, and the “Back to the
Beach” dance (with Elvis). Like we
said, a very busy year. Also ramping
up to be another banner year, 2015 is
starting with another Valentine’s Day
Dinner/Dance on Saturday, Feb. 14
with DJ Mike Neal at the helm. This
year the dinner will have a French
flair. The menu is being finalized,
but here is a little teaser: Brie stuffed
mushroom, chicken cordon bleu, and
a yummy dessert for two.
We want to thank everyone who
made this year a great one for the
FOL and the Lodge. We think we
accomplished our mission by having
a record number of members and
promoting social events and activities
at the Lodge and also promoting the
enjoyment of the facilities for our
Lake Kiowa residents. The 2015
membership form was mailed to
everyone in the January 2015 POA
statement; please make sure to
complete this form and mail it in to
be part of a very eventful FOL year.
Again, thank you to all Lake Kiowa
for a wonderful year and we look
forward to seeing you in 2015!

SECURITY REPORT
Nov. 13 - Dec. 10, 2014
Security patrol
officers
making
rounds after dark
during the month
of December are
treated to a festive
holiday light show,
courtesy of the
property owners at Lake Kiowa. And
this is in addition to the Christmas
cards and baked goodies that appear
at the Guardhouse in great abundance
at this season. It serves to remind us
of all the blessings we enjoy, year–
round, in the employ of the people of
Lake Kiowa.
Five traffic stops were made during
this reporting period, all for stop sign
violations. One stranded motorist
was given assistance. Three unlocked
doors were found and secured, an
open fire was extinguished, and three
warnings were issued for putting
trash out too early. Security patrol
responded to two business alarms
and a residence alarm and located
a guest fishing without the property
owner present. One auto accident was
investigated. Incidents of criminal
mischief reported from the cart barns,
the Horseshoe Nature Trail and from
the 1100 block of Kiowa Dr. E. are

GOLF COURSE UPDATE
So far, so good this
winter. Other than
the cold snap in midNovember, it has
been a relatively mild
winter. According to
the Farmers’ Almanac,
this winter is forecasted to be as
harsh or more harsh than last winter.
Hopefully, it will be a normal North
Texas winter.
However, we will be prepared if or
when the extreme cold hits. To guard
against potential winter damage to the
greens, I increased the potassium input
on greens beginning in September.
This helps with carbohydrate storage
in the plant. Also, we are maintaining
adequate moisture levels in the
soil profile. I monitor soil moisture
using a digital moisture meter that I
purchased this past summer. Because
evapotranspiration rates are lower
this time of year, watering frequency
and run times will be reduced. One
drawback of watering this time of
year is that some areas around greens
will stay wet a little longer.
As mentioned in a previous report,
we will be conducting an irrigation
audit. The main purpose of this audit
will be to identify areas where we can
change the nozzle size in the irrigation
heads to be more efficient and reduce
some overlap and potentially eliminate
some of these wet areas. The addition
of some drainage is a must. The first
area we will address is the back side of
number 7 green. We plan on tackling
that during the first week of January,
weather permitting. We have identified
other areas that must be addressed and
will get to them as we can.
Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year from all of us in Golf
Maintenance! I hope Santa brings
you everything that you asked for,
assuming of course that you are all on
the “Nice List.”
Please continue to fill your divots
and fix your pitch marks. See you
around the course.

We also very much look forward to the
coming year and our calendar is already

PUBLIC WORKS MANAGER REPORT
PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works would
like to thank all who
contributed to a happy
Thanksgiving with food
and helped with the
Christmas decorations.
The Fall Cleanup was well attended
as residents helped keep Lake Kiowa
beautiful.
PARKS AND LAKE
The lake news continues to be
about the dropping of the elevation
levels. The elevation level on
December 4, 2014 was 698.00, an
even two feet below the normal water
pool.
Rip rap rock has been added to
complete coverage of the inflow banks
at the Iriquois Park location. More
rock will be added to other areas as
the year progresses.
Cooler water temperatures have
aided in stopping some of the algae
growth in the lake. Grass carp have
been added to the lake and chemical
treatments will continue as needed.
ROADS AND BRIDGE
Stop signs have been placed
instead of yield signs at the corners
of Navajo and San Chez. Please use
care driving as the winter season can
bring hazardous driving conditions at
anytime.
BOAT REGISTRATION BEGINS JAN. 1
The Security Department wishes
to remind members owning boats
or personal watercraft that a new
registration period will begin Jan.
1 and that the new 2015 decal will
be available. To obtain this decal,
members must
appear at the
Guardhouse
presenting
membership
cards
and
proof of liability insurance covering
the watercraft in question.
Members wishing to register new
boats or jet skis will be required, as
always, to present proof of ownership
in addition to their membership cards
and proof of liability insurance. Firsttime registrants will need to complete
the Lake Kiowa Boating Safety
Course, which is available online at
the Lake Kiowa member website.
Younger boaters age 13 and those
born on or after September 1, 1993 may
operate watercraft without authorized
adult supervision only if they complete
the Texas Boater Safety Course. This
course is available online at www.
boat-ed.com/
tx/. It is also
recommended
that
they
complete the
Lake Kiowa
Boating Safety Course. Copies of
the certificates of completion for any
youthful operators in the household
should ideally be presented at the
time that watercraft are registered so
that Security can keep an accurate and
up-to-date database.

compliance with the requirements
of the Texas Alcoholic Beverage

presented a proposal to change the
Sprinkler Rule in the ACC handbook.

Utility District and the need to have
better control of irrigation systems. He
explained that the change in the rule
would not change the requirements
that are already in existence, but it
would give better control. Brent Reed

were in favor. Motion carried.

in parties which was the reason for the
increase in Food and Beverage sales.
Also Administration expenses were

being paid less and the Central Garage
has been short one person.

REPEAT OFFENDER VIOLATIONS
January 2014
If you have received a citation and have questions, all rules can be found on
the Lake Kiowa Website. Additionally, you may call Gary Davidson at (940)
665-3221 or Randy Schmaltz at (940) 665-1055. All written notifications will
be mailed directly to you as soon as possible. Parents or guardians of minors
will be notified immediately if their child has received a citation.
In accordance with Rule 4.2.7.C, the LKPOA is required to post the names
and lot numbers of repeat rule offenders. Rule 4.2.7.C states: “Two or more
infractions of the same rule, two or more infractions in the same category, or
more than one Serious or Major infraction in any combination and regardless of
the rule or category within (1) year are considered a repeat offense. In all cases
the names of repeat offenders will be printed in the Association newspaper.”
By rule, the following property owners are classified as repeat offenders:
William Herring, Lot 1754: Rule 4.3.1.f (1) Positive Control of Pets – 2/5/14
and 2/24/14.
Dan T. Redington, Lot 404: Rule 4.3.2.c Reckless Driving – 7/4/14; Rule
4.3.1.r Juvenile Curfew and Rule 4.3.2.e.(3) Golf Cart Operation – 7/10/14.
Danny Shaver, Lot 631: Rule 4.3.1.a Damage to Property and Rule 4.3.2.c
Reckless Driving – 3/27/14; Rule 4.3.1.g.(2) Offensive Language and Rule
4.3.2.a.(3) Traffic Control Devices –7/10/14.
Stephanie Yates, Lot 1219: Rule 4.3.1.f Positive Control of Pets—6/6/14;
Rule 4.3.1.o Identification Cards Not Transferable—10/10/14.
Tohnni Whitt, Lot 143: Rule 4.3.1.a Damage to Property-3/27/14; Rule
4.3.2.b Posted Speed Limit—10/1/14.
paying 1% interest, the POA’s funds
were earning .1% - .2%. The LKPOA
is currently earning approximately
$4,400 interest a year. He suggested
we move approximately $1 million
in $240K - $250K increments for
periods of 3 months, 6 months, 9
months and one year. When each of
these four new accounts matured they
would be rolled over for a one year
period thereby providing the liquidity
of having $240K - $250K maturing
every three months. This movement
of funds could potentially increase
the LKPOA’s yearly interest by over
$5,000. Financial relations with First
State Bank, NASCOGA, and Muenster
State Bank will be maintained. After
questions President Stewart suggested
that we form a plan of exactly where
funds would be placed and the
interest they would earn. There was
also concern of how much a penalty
we would incur in case we needed to
withdraw these funds before maturity. Mr. Turner said he would research
this and inform the board at the next
meeting.
Managers’ Report a. Golf Cart replacement- Randy
Schmaltz informed the Board that the
Golf Course was in need to replace a
golf cart that was not working with
an Utility Vehicle. He has received 2
bids for the replacement. One was for
a John Deere mule for $9,100 and the
other was for a EZ-Go for $5,600. It
was decided that the vehicle would
come from Luber Bros. which was
an EZ-Go Terrain 250G at a cost of
$5,600 - $1,000 trade in. This would
bring the price to $4,600. The money
will come from the ARRF Fund. It
was also noted that this vehicle has
been lightly used, but would come
with a standard 1 year warranty.
Additional Business - Justin
McMurry asked about the ID cards
and their status. Randy Schmaltz said
that they were working on the system
and should be ready to start inputting
information within about 2 to 3
weeks. Also the system is waiting on
the Lodge Manager to get the menu
put into the system.
Also inquired about accidents at
Lake Kiowa. There had been some very
minor accidents involving mailboxes
and one where the guard house was
struck by a ladder in a pickup.
Craig Lamkin inquired if there was
a need to increase the Grass Carp and
was informed that they were placed
in the Lake on Thursday, November
13 and to put more in would require
a new permit.
Kelley Stewart asked about the new
street signs. They have been ordered
and will be installed as soon as they
arrive.
Craig Lamkin asked about the two
new stop signs at San Chez and Kiowa
Drive West and at Mohican and Kiowa
Drive West. Randy Schmaltz said
those should not have been changed
and he would have them changed back
to Yields.
Questions from the Audience - None
were asked.
At 7:38 p.m. Jay Titus made the
motion to enter into an Executive
Session and was seconded by Craig
Lamkin. All were in favor. Motion
carried.
At 7:48 p.m. Craig Lamkin made
the motion to adjourn the Executive
Session and was seconded by Leslie
Tomich. All were in favor. Motion
carried.
Discussed during Executive Session
was the sale of a POA owned lot.
Brent Reed made the motion to
adjourn at 7:49 p.m. and was seconded
by Bill Turner. All were in favor.
Motion carried.

service line breaks. It has made the

FIRE CHIEF’S REPORT: The
October incident reports reflected
13 calls compared to 25 in October
of 2013. There was 1 building fire,
9 medical assist/assist EMS crew, 1
emergency medical service, other, 2
dispatched and cancelled enroute.
ISO update: Chief Pistor is still
waiting to hear back on the ISO
inspection results.
EMS/Service Vehicle: November
10, 2014 Assistant Chief Buchanan,
sent out an e-mail to all board
members asking them to give
approval authorizing him to bid on
a 2004 Suburban ¾-T with 100,000
miles that is being sold by Arlington
Fire Department through Rene’ Bates
Internet auction. Board members
gave Assistant Chief Buchanan the
go ahead and he received the winning
bid of $5,050.00. Tonight Chief
Pistor asked the board to approve
the issuance of a cashier’s check for
$5,050 to be paid to Rene’ Bates
this coming week. The motion was
made by Vice-President Hughes and
seconded by President Tomlin. Vote
to allow Chief Pistor to obtain a
cashier’s check from First State Bank
in the amount of $5,050 was approved
unanimously. The unit will be used
primarily for an EMS response
vehicle, but can also be used as a
personnel carrier for training and for
mutual aid fires, an incident command
vehicle, a rehab vehicle, take home
vehicle, etc. In past meetings, it was
decided that if the old tanker was sold,
that the money collected from the sale
($5,900) would be used to purchase
and outfit a new vehicle for one or
more of these purposes. Assistant
Chief Buchanan estimates that it will
cost an extra $500 to make-ready.
Letter from LKSUD:
ICVFD
received a letter from LKSUD this
week requesting that ICVFD agree
to not flow hydrants above 20 psi
residual. The letter also stated that
we are to call LKSUD the 1st of each
month and tell them how much water
we’ve used in the previous month. The
area departments that give us mutual

aid also received this letter. The letter
was discussed and the board agreed
that our attorney, Lynn Switzer, should
look the letter over before President
Tomlin signs it.
NEW BUSINESS: On November
13, 2014, Chief Pistor and Assistant
Chief Buchanan, met with the Fire
Chief of the Oak Ridge Volunteer Fire
Department (ORVFD). The discussion
was in regards to the termination
of services by the ORVFD in their
fire district. There was a discussion
regarding the possibility of Indian
Creek Volunteer Fire Department
(ICVFD) assuming coverage of the
ORVFD fire district. This topic will
be discussed with Cooke County Fire
Marshal Ray Fletcher and ICVFD on
November 17, 2014. The discussion
will be about absorbing some or all
of ORVFD fire district. The topic
of an Emergency Services District
(ESD) was opened as an option. An
ESD is funded through taxes based on
assessed valuation of your property.
Discussion on these topics will be
addressed at the next month’s board
meeting.
OTHER BUSNESS:
Vice-President
Hughes
has
arranged with the Lodge staff and
the golf tournament board for next
year’s fundraiser and golf tournament
– the dates are: April 18-20, 2015.
Everyone needs to be “brainstorming”
for possible new ideas for the
fundraiser—it is being suggested that
we do something other than an auction
this year to raise money.
We just mailed out our annual
donation letter to all fire district
residents. The cost for postage was a
little over $400. Next year we need
to consider obtaining a bulk mailing
permit from the US Post Office to save
some money in postage throughout
the year. The cost of the Permit is
$450 for the first year and $200 per
year after the initial year. Chief Pistor
is going to ask the Cooke County
Fire Chief’s Association to purchase
a mailing permit, so that all of the
county fire departments can use it.
Through President Tomlin, Secretary
Moore wants to let everyone know
that the ICVFD website has now
been updated with new apparatus and
members. Check it out!
Secretary Moore put together a
notebook with all of the department’s
insurance information from VFIS of
Texas. The notebook is now located
in Chief’s office for easy retrieval and
reference.
ADJOURNMENT: Vice-President
Hughes made a motion to adjourn.
President Tomlin seconded. Motion
carried. The meeting adjourned at
8:16 p.m.
The next meeting date will be
Thursday, December 11, 2014, at 7
p.m., at 550 Kiowa Drive West.

I have 40 years experience in
every facet, every aspect of
constructing, repairing, restoring
and remodeling a home.
Working on the very same
homes in Highland Park for 25+
years has provided me with
insights into what procedures
and which materials work best.
I now work alone (and I really
do not care for the commute),
so small projects are preferred.
Call me if I can be of assistance
to you.
We look forward to working in your yard!
