Board Notes August...

FALL CLEAN-UP CANCELLED—BUT THE CHIPPER WILL BE AVAILABLE

Even though this year’s fall clean-up was cancelled, a number of property owners have asked what the POA can do about tree and brush trimmings. The Board recognizes that many homeowners need a way to get rid of the debris so the Board decided to station the Public Works chipper at the area where the clean-up dumpsters have been placed in the past. This equipment and its operators will be on-site on Oct. 17-19, during the hours of 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. to assist in the disposal of the aforementioned materials. If you have any questions, please call the POA offi ce at (940) 665-1055 for more information.

Thank you for your support and cooperation.Randy Schmaltz

As President Peggy Padgham pointed out in last month’s Board Notes, our community has suffered a rash of vandalism lately. One act was so heinous that a group of private residents has offered a $1,000 reward for information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the perpetrators. Unfortunately this activity has continued into August. At our Aug. 18 Open Board Meeting, Community Manager Randy Schmaltz discussed the possibility of instituting community patrols. A number of individuals spoke of the “Skunk Patrol” from about 10 years ago, which acted as a community patrol group and had a very positive impact on controlling vandalism. You will fi nd more information on this on page 3.

Also at our Aug. 18 meeting, Treasurer Lee Skinner reported that the month of July was very hard on the Repair and Maintenance Budgets in most departments. Repairs of $9,700 over budget included, among other things, work on air conditioning units at the Lodge and Pro Shop. The Golf Department was over budget; however, the budget is spread over 12 months and some of the actual expenses incurred in July will be disbursed over the next four to fi ve months. By December the Golf Department should settle down. Salaries, food and beverage were the accounts showing most of the over budget items for Lodge and Tavern for July. The LKPOA Investment Committee is meeting to discuss improving our position on monies held in our bank accounts

Relative to the golf course, and more specifi cally the greens, Randy Schmaltz and David Long reported that a consultant has been retained. He has studied the greens, tees, and fairways and will be providing a full report on causes and possible corrections for our problems. David also thanked the MGA for all their work on the sand bunkers on the course, which have now all been completed.

The Board also allocated funds to pave the cart path at the entry island.

It is hard to believe summer is just about over. As our fall season of meetings resumes at the Lodge, we anticipate increased patronage of our food and beverage services. Let Lodge management know about your experiences there by fi lling out a “comment card.” That is the best way to make sure we meet the wants and needs of the community.

With the end of summer comes “back to school.” Once again it is time to be especially careful in watching out for the students in our community as they make their way to and from school. Speaking of being careful, please obey the speed limit signs that indicate 20 mph in certain areas. There are golf cart crossings and sharp curves in the posted areas. New signs will be posted where the 30 mph speed limit resumes.

Till next month,John Wolek

CORRECTIONThere was an inadvertent error in the

August issue of the CommuniQue—we unfortunately misidentifi ed the person who caught the record catfi sh. His correct name is GARY Holmen. We apologize to him for our mistake and regret any inconvenience this may have caused anyone.

Low Water Crossing #3 Former Sanctuary for Possible Vandals Cleared

BY-LAWSThe LKPOA Board of

Directors is pleased to report that all the proposed by-laws passed.

LIFE AT LAKE KIOWA HAS CHANGED

DRAMATICALLYIt behooves every member of each

Lake Kiowa homeowner family to read carefully the Security Report found on page 31 in this issue. For the fi rst time in recent memory an incident involving breaking and entering and burglary resulted in the discharge of a fi rearm by a suspected perpetrator. It appears the continuing problem of vandalism is morphing into a much more serious area of concern.

It is imperative that everyone living out here be extremely vigilant at all times. The watchwords must be AWARENESS and ALERTNESS. Be cognizant of what is going on around your home and in your immediate neighborhood. Watch out for your neighbor’s home if that family is away for any extended period of time. Immediately report to Security any suspicious activity or people you see. Lock your house doors and windows when you leave home, and at night when sleeping. Ensure that your car is locked at all times when you are not driving it. Keep garage and shed doors closed and secured.

Efforts are underway to establish a form of neighborhood watch, perhaps similar to the “Skunk Patrol” that long-time residents so fondly remember. Volunteers are needed, as Community Manager Randy Schmaltz requests in his report this month.

The quiet tranquil life that the early settlers and today’s long-time residents savored is long gone, unfortunately. Our society is changing dramatically, and in my opinion not necessarily for the better. It will take time for corrections to be made so, in the meantime, be careful!

For the last couple of months we have held Town Hall meetings for property owners. The meetings have been held in the Metroplex for those property owners who normally wouldn’t have access to decision makers and a second meeting was held at Lake Kiowa for all property owners.

Unfortunately the participation of property owners at the two meetings doesn’t warrant the need for a third meeting. For those who still want to discuss their concerns, I will still be available by phone, e-mail, or meeting on a one-on-one basis.

Last month I wrote about the vandalism that has occurred at Lake Kiowa over recent months. I want to make it clear that with the exception of the graffi ti on one of the homes and the theft of a scooter and go-cart, the vandalism has been limited to damaged mail boxes, TP’ing houses, and broken driveway lights.

In an effort to assist our Security Department in preventing this problem from escalating, last week fi ve residents including myself patrolled the golf course, streets, beaches and parks during the early morning hours. To expand the patrol, we need additional volunteers so that we can increase the number of nights that we can patrol. This is a great opportunity for those part-time residents who want to be involved in

the community but don’t have the time during the workweek. If you’re interested, call me for more information at (940) 665-1055.

As a reminder, it has become apparent that many are not aware that, as of August of

2007, Lake Kiowa has a curfew for those under the age of 17.

Rule 4.3.1.r - Juvenile Curfew which states in part, “Any person under 17 years of age is prohibited from being on the commonly owned areas or in commonly owned facilities between 11:01 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. of the following day during Sunday through Thursday, or between 12:01 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. during Saturday and Sunday unless the person is:

“1. Accompanied by a parent or guardian, or

“2. On an errand at the direction of the parent or guardian, or

“3. In transit directly from a point of entrance to the community to the place of residence(s) of the juvenile(s) in the community, or

“4. In transit directly from a place of employment in the community to the place of residence(s) of the juvenile(s) in the community, or

“5. Involved in an emergency, or“6. Attending an event supervised by

adults and sanctioned by the LKPOA, or

“7. Married.

“Commonly owned areas or facilities are defi ned as any place within the boundaries of the Lake Kiowa community not owned by a private individual and includes, but is not limited to, parks, beaches, structures, streets, roads, golf course, Lodge, etc.”

Dining at the Lodge continues to get rave reviews. In July we received 49 guest comment cards. Of this number, 44 rated the food service and quality at 4 or above (on a fi ve-point scale). Five guests did experience some diffi culty. We are working on improving the dining experience for all our residents and we won’t be satisfi ed until all the comment cards rate the food and service at 4 or above.

I want to take this opportunity to invite all our property owners and their guests who will be attending the Les Gilliam Show on the 6th and/or the Lake Kiowa Hee-Haw Extravaganza on the 12th or 13th to join us for dinner at the Lodge prior to the events.

Chef Michael has been working hard on revamping the menu to include additional healthy options and continues modifying it to meet the requests of our property owners.

As fall approaches, Chef Michael will again be adjusting the menu to refl ect the change of seasons. Look for current changes on the Lake Kiowa Web site, and the electronic entrance signs.

The golf course greens are continuing to suffer. Several greens on the back

nine were damaged by “dollar-spot” fungus and then cutting them too low in an effort to improve the play for the Kapers golf tournament which resulted in goose grass now growing in the damaged areas. We have done a lot of things agronomically to repair them. We fertilize them every Monday and try to baby them back to a healthy status. We have sprayed them with an algaecide and continue to apply fungicides. We aerated the greens to allow air to get down in the soil profi le and we are still getting leaf blades when we mow so we know the greens are still growing.

We have also hired David Gregg, the owner of Turf & Soil Tech, to report on the root cause of the problems on the greens. We collected additional soil and water samples and sent them to Brookside Labs of Ohio. Established in 1951, Brookside Labs is a pioneer in the fi eld of soil, water and plant analysis technology. An associate of David Gregg is on retainer with Augusta National Golf Course. David Gregg has completed his report on Lake Kiowa and this currently is under review.

As always, if you have any concerns or comments, please call me at (940) 665-1055.

Thanks,Randy

WE COME TO YOU!

Friday, Aug. 1 saw the opening of the Callisburg ISD Clothes Closet. On that day more than 400 items were distributed to schoolchildren preparing for the start of the new school year. It was most heartwarming to see the expression on the faces of these youngsters, and on the faces of their parents, as shoes, purses, socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, pajamas, backpacks and other needed items were given out. The scene was reminiscent of the reactions kids have when they are turned loose in a candy store!

The facility itself sparkled with freshly cleaned and laundered items hung on the new racks that volunteers from the Lake Kiowa Kiwanis Club led

by Jerry Slater, Gary James and LeRoy Becker provided. Principal Rusty Clark expressed his great satisfaction with this program after seeing how many needy families were served this day.

Such success does have a bit of a down side, however. The supply of key items is depleted, meaning there is a requirement for funds to purchase shoes, socks, underwear, toothbrushes and toothpaste. There is emphasis right now on not only clothes for young kids, but also on items for teenagers. It is widely accepted that a major factor in a teenager’s decision to drop out of school is the absence of contemporary clothing that helps a teenager feel that he or she fi ts in with peers.

CALLISBURG ISD CLOTHES CLOSET OPENING DAY A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS

Along with funds, volunteers to operate the facility always are needed and welcomed. For example, 12 large plastic bags of donated clothing that needed to be processed appeared at the doorway of the Clothes Closet. Six volunteers each took two bags home so they could inspect, wash and dry-clean the items contained therein. Then the clothes were returned and displayed for distribution.

I cannot say enough in the way of appreciation to the many Lake Kiowa residents who have quickly rallied around to support the Callisburg ISD Clothes Closet. You continue to be unbelievably generous with your time and money, and an inspiration. Many children in our school district appreciate what you are doing. Thank you all.

THANK YOU, LAKE KIOWA for your outpouring of love in the form of prayers, cards and food during my recent bout with cancer. You are the GREATEST!

Ann Hennessey and Family

To Our Kiowa Family,A simple ‘thank you’ does not

begin to express our gratitude for your moral support, cards, food and, last but not least, your thoughts and prayers during our recent medical problems. We are convinced we would not have survived without the power of prayers from our Kiowa Prayer Warriors and the many church groups that consisted of people we didn’t even know! A special thanks goes to Molly and her ‘Molly Mail’ that helped to get the word out to generate all those prayers.

We know our journey has only just begun. With your continued support, we will overcome the many obstacles still before us.

With deepest gratitude…..Thank You!

Greg and Carmel Miserak

POP-A-TAB FOR LIFEBefore you toss those pop cans into the recycle bin or trash, why not pop off those

tabs, collect them and then drop them into the “Pop-A-Tab for Life” container in the Lobby at the Lodge? Greg and I will hand carry them to Rochester, Minn. when we return to the Mayo Clinic in October. All funds collected through tab donations are spent on items for direct use by Gift of Life patients. It’s a very small donation but it costs absolutely nothing to ‘pop-a-tab’ for a good cause.

For those of you that I have talked to, you already know that I think the Mayo Clinic and its facilities are the best thing since sliced bread! During our recent visit to Mayo, we stayed at the Gift of Life Transplant House….a wonderful facility which provides transplant patients and caregivers with high-quality, affordable accommodations in a supportive home-like environment.

For anyone with deep pockets that might be interested in making a tax-free donation for an extremely worthwhile cause, check out the this site: http://www.gift-of-life.org/index.asp or talk to us. A fund-raising drive is underway to expand the facility to satisfy the ever-growing needs of transplant patients from all over the country.

Thanks for all the support you have personally given us during this difficult time.

Carmel and Greg Miserak

UNITED WAY CAMPAIGN BEGINS

The Cooke County United Way campaign will begin during the next few weeks. Our theme this year is “Live United” and has its focus on how we can join hands and open up our hearts.

We have an extra need this year as the economy has strained the resources of those agencies that come to the aid of our children, elderly and physically ailing residents here in Cooke County. Please remember your neighbors and help if you can to make the residents of Lake Kiowa again stand out as proud supporters of those in need.

COUPLES BRIDGECouples Bridge met Aug. 15 at the Lodge at 6:30 p.m. We had three tables of very

competitive bridge. One couple had an emergency and cancelled one hour prior to playing. Fortunately, after 10 phone calls two ladies—By Jo Mansfi eld and Roddy Marks—graciously agreed to fi ll in. The winners were: First - Dee Magee and Bill Hoagland; Second - By Jo Mansfi eld and Roddy Marks; Third - Bill and Charles Hagood.

Our bridge date is the second Friday of each month at the Lodge. We welcome any couple wishing to play by calling me at (940) 665-8426. We request that you call a few days prior to the second Friday so proper arrangements can be made regarding the table set up. My e-mail is [email protected].

DUPLICATE BRIDGEThe fi rst Monday in August Bert and Frankie led the way, with George and Barb

second, while the Kincaids were third. Dennis and Richard Morgan were fi rst in the B category.

I want to thank all the guys who pitched in to help in the cleanup and carry back to the closet. I had it all to myself today - the only good thing that happened was NO DIRECTOR CALLS.

Things in the club are rocking along fairly well lately. On Monday, Aug. 11 Jean Polk and Sharon Barnes from Gainesville visited and WON.

Gene and Judy Kincaid announced that they would not be back for a while because Gene had to go back to work at the schoolhouse.

GAINESVILLE, TEXAS – Unforgettable. That’s the word heard most often in descriptions given by North Central Texas College students describing their experience of studying abroad in Italy this summer.

And college sponsors say it’s not too early for those who wish to have an unforgettable learning experience of their own to start planning for next summer’s trip to Rome, Florence and other Italian destinations.

Of this summer’s fi rst Study Abroad in Italy “learning communities” course experience, one NCTC student’s comments were typical as she described the “jaw-dropping” impact of walking into the Piazza del Duomo in Florence and seeing for the fi rst time the church of Santa Maria del Fiore.

“The overwhelming and breathtaking beauty of the massive cathedral is etched in your brain forever,” she said.

Professors Pat Ledbetter and Jane England developed and organized the study abroad program that gave students the option of earning up to six hours of transferable credit while traveling and studying in Italy. Students chose to take one or both of two classes—World Literature, taught by Ledbetter; World History, team taught by both professors; and Art Appreciation, taught by England.

The fi rst week and a half of the semester was spent abroad and included visits to Verona, Venice, Pisa, Assisi, Florence and Rome. Upon returning to Texas the students took exams and

prepared writing assignments based on their research and areas of interest.

“One of our key goals was to increase students’ intercultural awareness and to encourage them to develop a global perspective,” Ledbetter said, “and we did this by combining academically challenging learning experiences with stimulating cross-cultural interaction.”

Ledbetter added that NCTC is committed to promoting international study as an effective and exciting way for students to fulfi ll their degree requirements while gaining insight into the dynamics of other societies.

It took months of careful preparation and cooperation on the part of the program developers to assure that the courses were appropriately scholarly, the study tour was effi ciently organized, the itinerary was fully developed and the schedule contained enough fl exibility to respond to unexpected events.

While the Study Abroad in Italy program was in the initial planning stage, Ledbetter and England traveled to Italy several times to familiarize themselves with public transportation options, to meet with travel agents and to do research, gather materials and select sites for excursion trips.

In addition, England in 2007 was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities grant to participate in a six-week-long summer seminar entitled “Roman Religion in its Social and Cultural Context.” Living in Rome afforded England time to do an in-depth study of the major archeological sites,

NCTC: DRAMA & DANCEchurches and art collections of the “Eternal City.”

“There is so much to see and do in Italy, especially in Florence and Rome, that the hardest part of developing the content of the courses was in deciding which museums, churches and historical areas to visit,” England said.

“But for me, the biggest thrill was interacting with our students” she added, “as they examined signifi cant historical and aesthetic issues in the presence of the actual works of art, buildings, sacred spaces, and public places that form the basis of Western culture.”

In Florence, for example, Ledbetter discussed Dante and his writings while she and the class members stood beside the gigantic statue of Dante that is located in front of the Basilica of Santa Croce, where the author of “The Divine Comedy” once attended services and where his memorial is housed.

“For us as professors, seeing the wonders of Italy through the eyes of students was like experiencing them for the fi rst time,” Ledbetter said. “Every teacher’s goal is to awaken students’ interests and arouse their curiosity about those things that inspire us.

“Taking students to the sources of these inspirations enables us to say with credibility, ‘See, I told you this was unbelievably wonderful!’”

The two professors are already making plans for summer 2009 when they will once again invite students to join them for study abroad in Italy, and they said it’s not too early for students wishing to participate to begin making their preparations too.

Students making this summer’s trip to Italy were:

Brady Wheeler of Corinth, Roxanne Lozano of Saint Jo, Renee Province of Ponder, Pamela Province of Denton, Martha Puig of Bowie, Latricia Steadham of Sanger, Maureen Murphy of Carrollton, Kristina Malig of Gainesville, Courtney Henderson of

Genealogy will begin for the fall on Wednesday, Sept. 3 (please note date change) at the Lodge at 1 p.m. We will discuss church records, how to fi nd them and how to get the most from them.

Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Church of Christ, Quakers and others all played a large part in this nation’s history from the beginning to today. Looking for their records can become a daunting task, but with a few tips and addresses as well as some hints on how to determine an ancestor’s religion should put you on the right track for success.

In addition, on Tuesday evening, Sept. 2, I will be lecturing at the LDS Church on Route 51 just behind the college. The subject will be the new advances in using their records as they’re newly released for the fi rst time to the public in 2009. I will be at that center from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. for an evening lecture. Please come and see what help you will fi nd. This should be a success for every searcher. You can discover new persons searching the same lines you are doing as well as new information.

In October, I would like to begin some sessions on British research, including Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales. If any of you are interested, please let me know by e-mail or at the September meeting. These sessions would be in addition to the regular monthly meetings.

Thank you, all, for the expressions of concern and offers of help during my recent “bad health.” I am truly feeling fi ne and have lots of genealogy to share with all of you.

School is back in session, which means washing machines are probably back in spin cycle full-time.

Soccer uniforms and school clothes will pile up all at once in need of a wash, but, if you get your children involved in the process, you could cut your laundry workload in half. Follow these three steps to make dirty laundry less of a chore.

Step 1 –Start with SortingPut three (or more) plastic bins in your

child’s bedroom or bathroom. Use one bin for colored clothes, one for whites, and another for towels and jeans. If you have an athlete in the family, consider including another bin for uniforms to keep grass and mud from staining other clothes.

For younger children, make the sorting bins more fun. Use trash cans with plastic lids and draw faces on them with a permanent marker. You can also buy pre-decorated laundry bins at most major retailers.

Step 2 – Setting the SchedulePost a washing schedule above the

dirty laundry bins. On the appropriate day, have your child carry the proper bin to the laundry room to be washed. This will keep the dirty clothes pile manageable.

Step 3 – Finishing UpAfter the dryer buzzer sounds,

encourage your child to help fold clothes. It’s not the most fun activity, but it gives you another chance to ask about his or her day at school.

Reducing your laundry workload also relieves stress on your washer and dryer during one of the busiest times for washer repairs. Break down large loads into smaller ones. It is better to spend slightly more on your water bill than have to replace an entire washing machine or cover expensive repairs.

Overloading a washing machine can lead to transmission and motor failure and broken drive belts. There are usually no warning signs — the machine just stops working.

Check the efficiency of your laundry room. Preventive maintenance can save you money on your utility bill. For example, a clogged dryer vent can increase your overall utility bill by $7 per month.

Use this checklist to see if your laundry room is costing you extra money.

Replace washing machine hoses every three to five years to prevent flooding.

Use cold water instead of hot. Your home’s hot water heater typically uses more energy than any other appliance.

Clean the dryer’s lint trap regularly. Restricted airflow makes your dryer work harder and increases its operation cost. Also, excess lint buildup increases the chance of a fire.

Make sure the washer is level and sitting on a well-balanced floor. An uneven washer is noisy and can break during the spin cycle.

The author asked some of his acquaintances for permission to break into their online banking accounts. The goal was simple: get into their online accounts using the information about them, their families and acquaintances that is freely available online.

By Herbert H. Thompson As a professor, a software developer

and an author I’ve spent a career in software security. I decided to conduct an experiment to see how vulnerable people’s accounts are to mining the Web for information. I asked some of my acquaintances, people I know only casually, if with their permission and under their supervision I could break into their online banking accounts. After a few uncomfortable pauses, some agreed. The goal was simple: get into their online banking account by using information about them, their hobbies, their families and their lives freely available online. To be clear, this isn’t hacking or exploiting vulnerabilities; instead it’s mining the Internet for nuggets of personal data. Here’s one case. I share it here because it represents some of the common pitfalls and illustrates a pretty serious weakness that most of us have online.

Setup: This is the case of one subject whom I’ll call “Kim.” She’s a friend of my wife, so just from previous conversations I already knew her name, what state she was from, where she worked, and about how old she was. But that’s about all I knew. She then told me which bank she used (although there are some pretty easy ways to find that out) and what her user name was. (It turns out it was fairly predictable: her first initial + last name.) Based on this information, my task was to gain access to her account.

Step 1: Reconnaissance: Using her name and where she worked, I found two things with a quick Google search: a blog and an old résumé. Her blog was a goldmine: information about grandparents, pets, hometown, etcetera (although it turns out I didn’t need to use most of this). From the résumé I got her old college e-mail address and from her blog I got her G-mail address.

Step 2: Bank Password Recovery Feature: My next step was to try the password recovery feature on her online banking site. The site didn’t ask any personal questions; instead it first sent an e-mail to her address with a reset link which was bad news, because I didn’t have access to her e-mail accounts. So e-mail became my next target.

Step 3: G-mail: I tried to recover her G-mail password, blindly guessing that this was where the bank would have sent its password-reset e-mail. When I tried to reset the password on her G-mail account, Google sent its password reset e-mail to her old college e-mail account. Interestingly, G-mail actually tells you the domain (for example, xxxxx.edu) where it sends the password reset e-mail to, so now I had to get access to that…ugh.

Step 4: College E-Mail Account: When I used the “forgot my password” link on the college e-mail server, it asked me for some information to reset the password: home address? (check—found it on that old résumé online); home zip code? (check—résumé); home country? (uh, okay, check—found it on the résumé); and birth date? (devastating—I didn’t have this). I needed to get creative.

Step 5: Department of Motor Vehicles: Hoping she had gotten a speeding ticket, I hit the state traffic courts’ Web sites,

because many states allow you to search for violations and court appearances by name. These records include a birth date (among other things). I played around with this for about 30 minutes with no luck when I realized that there was probably a much easier way to do this.

Step 6: Back to the Blog: In a rare moment of clarity I simply searched her blog for “birthday.” She made a reference to it on a post that gave me the day and month but no year.

Step 7: Endgame (or How to Topple a House of Cards): I returned to the college e-mail password recovery screen and typed in her birth date, guessing on the year. Turns out that I was off on the year of birth but, incredibly, the university password reset Web page gave me five chances and even told me which field had inaccurate information! I then changed her college e-mail password, which gave me access to her G-mail password reset e-mail. After clicking the link, Google asked me personal information that I easily found on her blog (birthplace, father’s middle name, etcetera). I changed the G-mail password, which gave me access to the bank account reset e-mail, and I was also asked for similar personal information (pet name, phone number and so forth) that I had found on her blog. Once I reset the password, I had access to her money (or at least I would have).

Needless to say, Kim was disturbed. Her whole digital identity sat precariously on the foundation of her college e-mail account; once I had access to it, the rest of the security defenses fell like a row of dominoes. What’s striking about Kim’s case is how common it is. For many of us, the abundance of personal information we

put online combined with the popular model of sending a password reset e-mail has our online security resting unsteadily on the shoulders of one or two e-mail accounts. In Kim’s case some of that information came from a blog, but it could just as easily have come from a MySpace page, a sibling’s blog (speaking of their birthday, mom’s name, etcetera) or from any number of places online.

Battling this threat requires us to make better choices about how we prove who we are online and what we make available on the Internet. Go and do a self-check. Try to reset your passwords and see what questions are asked to verify your identity. Some questions are better than others. Date of birth, for example, is bad. In addition to the DMV, there is a wealth of public records available online where folks can track down when you were born. Most account reset features give you a choice of questions or methods to use. Go for questions that ask about obscure things that you won’t forget (or can at least look up), like your favorite frequent flyer number. Avoid questions that are easy to guess, such as which state you opened your bank account in. All of these are, of course, stopgap measures until we find better ways to prove our identities online.

It’s also critical to remember that once you put data online, it’s almost impossible to delete it later. The more you blog about yourself, the more details you put in your social networking profiles, the more information about you is being archived, copied, backed up and analyzed almost immediately. Think first, post later.

As for Kim, she’s still blogging, but now she’s a little more careful about the information she volunteers and has cleaned house on her old passwords and password reminder questions. Next time I do this, I’ll have to figure out the name of her favorite primary school teacher.

Moments To Remember

Has the year fl own by as quickly for you as it has for me? Here it is September already and a new Kiowa Woman’s Club year is beginning. While mulling over various themes for this year, I thought about all the friendships we make and the fun times we have as members of KWC. Through our programs and many activities we share many happy, delightful memories, while at the same time we share the sadness that comes when friends become ill, move away, or die. All are Moments to Remember…and there was my theme and cover for our yearbook.

I hope all of you had a wonderful summer and will be able to attend our fi rst meeting on Sept. 11. We will start early at 10 a.m. with social time, so come and enjoy a cup of punch, catch up with old acquaintances and make some new friends.

Our Department and Committee Chairs have been working hard all summer to prepare programs and activities that I know you are all going to enjoy. Back by popular demand, Dave Tanner will start off the year with his wonderful music. If you haven’t heard him, or are just looking forward to hearing him again, you won’t want to miss this meeting.

The Sunshine Chair has been made a part of the Corresponding Secretary’s position, so please call Jaqui Osborn-Stewart at (940) 612-3691 if you know of a member or spouse that should receive a get well or condolence card. Nancy Mountcastle, (940) 612-2811 and Julie Spangler, (940) 665-7392, continue as Co-chairs for the Bereavement Committee. Please let one of them know of the death of anyone in our community.

If you haven’t joined KWC for 2008-2009, call Carol Jacobsen, our Membership Chair, at 1-940-368-4950 or come to the September meeting and you can join at that time. Don’t forget that lunch reservations must be made by noon on Monday, Sept. 8 via the Kiowa Web site or by phone to Dori Gehr, the Luncheon Reservation Chair this year, at (940) 612-5683.

CLOSINGS IN THE 1ST HALF OF 2008

Kiowa Woman’s Club News

Under the auspices of the Lake Kiowa Woman’s Club, the Garden & Nature Club is ready to start a New Year. Garden & Nature will meet the third Monday of each month from September through May unless otherwise noted in the Directory or monthly article.

The fi rst meeting is Sept. 15 at 10 a.m. Genevieve Avinger, 930 Kiowa Dr. E. has graciously accepted to be our hostess. We will have a short business meeting and refreshments will be served.

Our speaker will be Jessie Gunn Stephens who will talk about “Birds and Butterfl y Gardens.” Jessie is an author and will have her books for sale at the meeting. Her books are very interesting and easy to understand.

Our October meeting will be a fi eld trip to Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge. The date is Monday, Oct. 20. We will be carpooling and you should bring a sack lunch for a wonderful picnic. It should be nice to sit and enjoy the wildlife, peace and quiet.

TWITTERS: What birds have you seen this summer in your backyards? Since early spring we have been lucky enough to have a pair of Eastern Bluebirds in and around our backyard. We do not have a ‘regulation’ bluebird

house, but they protected the one they were using for their brood every day from mockingbirds. Last week the whole family was enjoying a swim in the birdbath. It was really fun to watch them. Remember our feathered friends do need to have water and food available to them, especially in the hot weather.

BLOOMS: Now is the time to plant daffodils, sow wildfl ower seeds and plant garden mums from 8” or 2-gallon pots. Dig and divide spring-fl owering perennials such as irises, daylilies, and daisies. Now is a good time to share the abundance of your garden with friends and neighbors. This is also the best time to get new woody plants established and growing. Tidy up perennial gardens by removing spent fl ower stalks and seed heads. Prune shrubs and vines gingerly to even the season’s growth.

PLEASE NOTE: Cooke County Master Gardeners are presenting ‘Fall Garden Fest 2008’ on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $15 and includes lunch, snacks, and door prizes. It is being held at North Central Texas College Little Theater, 1525 W. California in Gainesville. Tickets are on sale now.

Eight breast cancer survivors from Lake Kiowa attended the 2008 Joanie Hatcher Memorial Survivor Event at the Anatole Hotel in Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 16. The Jim and Joanie Hatcher Charitable Trust sponsored the event. Joanie lost her battle with breast cancer in 1996. Her husband Jim has honored her wish to him to “make it better” for breast cancer survivors in the Dallas area giving gifts of love through survivor programs and other events through the trust.

BREAST CANCER SURVIVOR REGISTRYDid you know that one in eight women are affected by breast cancer during their

life? We are trying to develop a registry of breast cancer survivors at Lake Kiowa to provide support and education for our community.

If you are a survivor, please contact Sarah Franklin at (940) 668-7922 so your name can be added to this registry.

Get ready to think PINK. The Seventh Lake Kiowa Rally for the Cure® benefi ting Susan G. Komen

for the Cure will be on Wednesday, Oct. 1. Please decorate your home, wear pink clothes, use pink signs of support in your yard. Pink ribbons or Pink balloons for your trees or any other creative pink ideas you can dream up to support our ladies. Pink on your golf cart is a sure way to show you’re behind them 100%. Also be sure to wear Pink the fi rst Wednesday in October to show you care about this worthy cause.

Please think seriously about being a Hole Sponsor for one of the golf tee

boxes. Your name will be put on a sign and be on display at one of the eighteen tee boxes on the day of the Rally. This is a great way to honor a loved one who has had breast cancer. The minimum cost for the tee box sponsors is $100 and this money will be donated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation for research. Please call Elaine Blackwell at (940) 668-7491, Regina Carnley at (940) 612-0252 or any Rally Committee member for further information.

If you would like to contribute gifts for door prizes or items for the “goodie bags” to be given to the 135 golfers on the day of the tournament, please contact Marcia Hammond at (940) 665-0707.

TREES DON’T KILL THEMSELVES!If you are losing trees or if trees are looking sickly, just removing the dead trees is not enough. Something killed them and most likely it was a contagious disease that must be diagnosed by a professional and dealt with this year. Why not call the experts at Specialty Tree Service and map out a plan that will protect your trees.

The Committee

At the Aug. 6 general meeting of the WGA,

president Audrene Robison congratulated and thanked

Mary Pliler and her committee members Lena Howell and Genny Koziol for a fun and successful President’s Cup Tournament, as well as a successful Red River Tournament. The winners of the President’s Cup are listed on previous page.

Margie Nash announced that a new member, Kathy Wilson, and a returning member, Monica Trevino, have been added to the roster of membership, bringing the total to 246.

Fran Adams announced upcoming events surrounding the Rally for the Cure®. On Sept. 6 will be a concert by Les Gilliam at the Lodge; tickets are $10. The same day is the Moberly Challenge, the walk around the entire lake to which all are invited to participate. The fun-filled Rally for a Cure® Hee Haw Show is scheduled for Sept. 12 and 13 at the Lodge; tickets are now on sale for $10 each. This will be all “local talent” performing in a “don’t miss” event. All monies from these events will be donated to the Rally for a Cure® for breast cancer research. According to Fran, there are also six or seven openings for the Rally Golf Tournament.

Along with MGA, the WGA has approved monies for the purchase of one of three Sunsetters Awnings for the Pro Shop for the balance of the purchase

and the installation/maintenance. This is a remote-controlled awning system that opens and retracts in the case of inclement weather. The cost to WGA for one awning is $1,500, given that approval by the MGA and LKPOA occurs.Scramble Winners: 1st Gross: 71 - Ruth Robinson, Kally Kitchings, Paulette Andrews and Genevieve Avinger.

1st Net: 72 - Geneva Maddox, Helen Thomson, Regina Carnley, Anita Hughes and Audrene Robison.

LATE BREAKING NEWS: We will have a Joint Playday (Weekend/Working women and those that play on Wednesday) on Sept. 13. It will be a ProAm Format like that played during the Rally For The Cure®. This can be a great practice round for the “pros” of the Rally, as well as a good time to get some more playing time in for the members who rarely play except during the Rally. It will be a 1 p.m. shotgun start, but you MUST sign up BEFORE 5 P.M., TUESDAY, SEPT. 9.

Well, til next time, see you on the course (weather permitting). (Smile!!)

President R. J. Stroup called the meeting to order at 8 a.m. All board members were present with the exception of Izak Botha. Minutes from the MGA July 9 board meeting were read and approved.

Treasurer’s Report: John Wolek, Treasurer, gave the fi nancial report. The MGA had a fund beginning balance of $29,190, with an ending balance of $35,000. Approximately $14,200 is committed funds (hole-in-one pool, etc), leaving an uncommitted balance of $20,800.

Membership: John Beck, Membership Chairman, reported 485 paid MGA members as of the meeting. There are 293 members in the 2008 hole-in-one pool.

MGA Projects: The renovation of all sand traps on the golf course has been completed. The next workday, Aug. 11, MGA volunteers will redo the practice green sand trap, completing the project. Special thanks go to all those MGA volunteers who have worked so hard to get this accomplished. Workdays in the next few months will entail the clean up/fi x up around the tee boxes on the golf course.

Tournaments: The Saturday, Aug. 9 playday format will be the Paycuss Shuffl e Scramble. Players AD/BC scramble holes 1 through 6, players AC/BD scramble holes 7 through 12 and players AB/CD scramble holes 13 through 18. Both scramble scores are recorded for each hole.

Old Business: David Long reported that the greens are not getting any worse. Water and soil samples have been taken and sent to several labs for analysis. A report to the MGA membership on the lab results and status of the greens will be presented at the Sept. 13 meeting.

New Business: A proposal for an interim solution to the shade problem at the east end of the Pro Shop was discussed at length. There was unanimous agreement that the best option is the 2-3 remote controlled SunSetter Awning System. It can be installed quickly, cost effectively and provide an interim solution until a more permanent structure is built. The MGA (and possibly the WGA) will fund the proposal estimated to be $4,000-$5,000.

Fifty-six players braved the August heat to compete in the Lake Kiowa Open on Aug. 1 and 2. The Open is an individual tournament using a Stableford (point quota) format with the players divided into flights based on their established handicap. Players received 1 point for Bogey, 2 points for Par, 4 points for Birdie, 8 points for Eagle and 10 points for a Double Eagle or Hole-In-One. Each player was assigned a point quota based on their handicap and, after Saturday’s first round, quotas were adjusted by 50% based on how much the player scored over or under their quota. Following Sunday’s round, whoever had the most points was the winner. As the players finished their Sunday rounds, they were treated to cold beer and snacks in the 19th Hole while they waited for their flight’s scores to be posted.

The four highest total points in each of the four flights received merchandise

Lake Kiowa Open Tournamentpayouts. Curtis Hampton took the first flight at +8, followed by Gary Atterbury at +6, John Schneider at +3, and Joe Dorman at +2.

The second flight was won by Donny Salinas at +3 1⁄2. Ed Tomlin and John Nash were both at +2, but Ed prevailed in a scorecard playoff, while Sonny Ewing finished fourth at +1 1⁄2.

Chester Baker at +6 edged Harold McFarling at +5 to win the third flight while Bill Parish was +4 for third and John Seefeldt was fourth at +3.

In the fourth flight, George Rudy eked out a half point victory with 7 points to second place finisher Jack Thies’ 6 1⁄2 while Mick Weatherly, also at 6 1⁄2, lost the scorecard playoff to take third. In fourth place was Bill Frazier at +3.

Despite temperatures in the 100’s, all the players’ scores stayed under 100 and it was a fun and enjoyable golf weekend.

1. Rule 10-3Order of Play for Provisional BallQ. If a player is to play a provisional ball from the teeing ground, is there a

specific order the provisional ball must be played?A. Yes. The provisional ball must be played after all others have played their

first stroke.2. Rule 12-1Loose Impediments Moved in Hazard While Searching for Ball Q. While searching for her ball believed to be covered by loose impediments in

a hazard, Heather moved some twigs and leaves. What is the ruling? A. Under Rule 12-1, there is no penalty. Rule 12-1 overrides Rule 13-4 when

a player is searching for her ball in a hazard in a situation where she believes the ball is covered by loose impediments or sand.

3. Rule 15-3Wrong Ball Played from HazardQ. A player plays a ball from a hazard (water hazard or bunker) onto the putting

green. Once on the putting green the player realizes the ball he played was a wrong ball. What is the ruling?

A. In match play the penalty for playing a wrong ball is loss of hole (Rule 15-3a).

In stroke play, the player incurs a penalty of two strokes (Rule 15-3b). The stroke played with the wrong ball does not count in his score for the hole. The player must correct the error by playing out the hole with the correct ball (his original ball). If the player is unable to find his original ball he must proceed under the lost ball Rule (Rule 27-1).

Rule 12-2 Lifting Ball for IdentificationQ. Am I permitted to lift a ball that I believe is mine to identify it? A. Yes, under Rule 12-2, a ball may be lifted for identification. The player

must announce his intention to lift the ball to an opponent, fellow-competitor or marker, and mark the position of the ball. He may then lift the ball and identify it, provided that he gives his opponent, marker or fellow-competitor an opportunity to observe the lifting and replacement.

This may be done anywhere on the course, including when the ball lies in a hazard (Rule 12-2).

Hope this was helpful to jog your memory, or if you’re a new player to learn some of the rules.

On Wednesday nights we have one session that starts at 7 p.m. (please sign up prior to 6:55 for the 7 p.m. session). On most Friday nights there are two sessions, one at 7 and one right after completion of the fi rst session (typically at 9:20). The last Friday of the month is our end-of-the-month tournament, one session starting at 7 p.m., with prizes generously donated by the Lodge (Thank you, Brett and staff). The end-of-the-month tournament will have a maximum of 72 players. The top 48 point fi nishers are automatically entered, and any players with points for the month will fi ll out the fi eld; if you have not played that month you can play, but will not be eligible for prizes.

The results for the July poker nights: 7/2/08 - Tom Blackwell; 7/4/08 - Bill Jacobsen; 7/5/08 - Tom Blackwell; 7/9/08 - Robin Howell; 7/11/08 1st Session - Merlene Miller; 2nd Session - B. R.

Blackwell, 3rd - Ronnie Young; 7/30/08 - Jim Lewis

July Points Leader: B. R. Clements, 2nd - Tom Blackwell, 3rd - George Chapman, 4th - Merlene Miller, 5th - Roger Heerema, 6th - Elaine Blackwell, 7th - Geri Pollard, 8th - Jonnie Hall.

We had two sessions of poker for the 4th of July celebration. The LKPOA donated a weather radio/alarm clock as a prize for each session. On the 4th of July Bill Jacobsen outlasted B. R. Clements for the prize and, on the 5th, Tom Blackwell managed to win the last hand from Allene Johnson.

There is Annie Duke and Howard Lederer, Jennifer Tilly and Phil “the Unabomber” Laak, Michael and Lily Mizrachi, Jennifer Harman and Marco Traniello and Doyle and Todd Brunson. These are all fairly well-known couples or family members who play high stakes poker. It leads me to this month’s topic.

I had run many tournaments in Colorado with a friend, but these events did not have the same family ambience that the Lake Kiowa Hold’em Poker Club has. It is one of the great things

about our group that I really enjoy. When guests or family come to visit, it does not stop our poker players from playing poker. Very often it means that our group is given the treat of meeting our friends’ families and friends, helping to entertain them and get a chance to enjoy their company. When I was thinking about the poker sessions that were held over the 4th of July celebration, I was very pleased at the number of players that showed up to play considering the number of guests and family that had come to visit. I looked at July’s list of participants and I wanted to just mention the family associations that played that month.

It is the ongoing support, attitude and atmosphere created by these great families that makes the Lake Kiowa Hold’em Poker Club the success that it is. I want to thank you all for making our Wednesday and Friday nights so much fun. I encourage you to keep bringing your families and guests. I also encourage any Lake Kiowa residents that haven’t participated in our poker sessions to come and see what it is all about. See you on Wednesdays and Fridays when it’s time to shuffl e up and deal.

Security officers, as part of their initial training, are told to never treat any patrol function as routine or mundane. The validity of this counsel was certainly borne out on the morning of July 24 as Security patrol responded to the Kiowa Pharmacy and was confronted by a desperate individual who chose to use deadly force in an effort to make his escape. With the indispensable aid of private citizens and the prompt response of the Cooke County Sheriff’s Office, all suspects in the burglary/car theft case were quickly taken into custody. Security officers responding to the report of a golf cart accident on Aug. 10 were given the opportunity to employ their first aid training, stabilizing the patient until the arrival of LKVFD EMTs. Security dispatchers monitored this and 24 other emergencies for the fire department. Five ambulances were escorted to medical emergencies within Lake Kiowa.

Security personnel handled a variety of calls during this reporting period. Fourteen motorists were given assistance, 7 welfare checks were performed, 3 business alarms were answered and 3 suspicious persons were investigated, as were 2 suspicious vehicles. Seven traffic stops and 18 boating stops were effected, 2 unlocked doors were secured, 2 disturbing the peace complaints were received and 2

gate runners were chased. Departmental logs indicated response to single incidents of ball hawking, a missing person, trespassing, illegal fireworks, unauthorized guests and an unlicensed golf cart operator. The disturbing bent of some to engage in criminal mischief continued unabated as the golf course, the driving range, mailboxes, port-a-pots, a flag and a driveway light were vandalized. Two complaints of theft were received from Lake Kiowa residents. Cooke County deputies assisted by Security responded to a domestic disturbance. Another domestic situation did not require sheriff’s office response.

Animal Control Officers were dispatched to 25 stray dog calls and 2 barking dog complaints. Five varmints were caught in traps. Five dogs were transported to Noah’s Ark shelter. Sixteen citations were issued by the Security Department and are categorized as follows: 4 leash law, 4 failure to use parking cones, 1 failure to pull over for Security, 1 failure to display pet vaccination tag, 1 reckless driving, 1 damage to property, 1 operation of jet ski after sunset, 1 violation of juvenile curfew, 1 no golf cart license and 1 public intoxication.

Don Hoover reported that his crew is currently working a summer schedule. This includes mowing all the lots on the pay mow list, as well as park areas and those lots where the lot owner has failed to keep them maintained.
