In addition to Chair Linda Fite, Judy Beard, Leroy Becker, Hoot Gipson, Jim Hawkins and Carol Hutchinson comprised the Nominating Committee.

Low water crossing #1 is repaired and back in use. When the repair project began, we found that the water crossing was in much worse condition than expected. The culvert had collapsed and the roadbed was suspended with no support. With the repair that was done, we have tripled the size of the opening to allow more water to fl ow through.

As President Padgham stated, we got this fi xed just in time! A big THANK YOU goes out to the Security team that guided us through the Navajo Gate.

Low water crossing #2 is next on the repair list. Good news: It will NOT be closed as the repairs begin in January, weather permitting. The road will be closed down to one lane for the repairs.

Come to the Lodge and meet our new Chef Craig Singer. Craig is a Certifi ed Professional Chef and a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York. Things are changing; we are receiving good reviews on the food; so come by and try some of the new specials.

This month we saw the front gate get decked out in our holiday lights. The Nativity is now complete with the addition of the Three Wise Men. THANK YOU to Kiowa Woman’s Club, Angler’s Club and Friends of the Lodge for funding the purchase of the Wise Men. I even heard Santa was here and making visits at many homes.

The Chili Workers Tournament was held to THANK all the men and women who have volunteered their time to work on the golf course through

We will be ready to start a new year by the time this paper arrives, and I look forward to another successful and productive year for Lake Kiowa.

Water crossing #1 was repaired “just in time” to avert a potential serious accident. Sometimes a little inconvenience is necessary to avoid a much longer one if repairs aren’t made at the appropriate time. Thank you for being cooperative and patient – and our apologies to all who endured the dust behind San Chez.

When #2 water crossing is under repair, one lane should be open at all times, so everyone will be able to enter and exit Lake Kiowa via the usual route. Won’t it be wonderful to see all the

broken concrete removed and the area cleaned up and safe!

Can you believe we will begin work on next year’s budget sometime in February? Once again a new community manager will have to “jump right in” and face the challenge of putting together a workable budget for our community. We are fortunate to be in such good fi nancial condition and appreciate the cooperation of all departments to help us achieve this goal.

Remember, I welcome your comments (and constructive suggestions) anytime. Just phone or e-mail me, and I will respond.

Thanks,Peggy H. Padgham

CART PATHS ONLYThe time of the year is approaching for cart paths only—Jan. 7 to

March 3. What this means is the handicap fl ags will be available in the Pro Shop for those persons who have a problem or handicap that prevents them from walking to their ball.

When you receive a handicap fl ag, there are some things that you need to know:

1. The handicap fl ag is for you and only you, NOT the person riding with you.

2. The handicap fl ag MUST be turned in to the Pro Shop after your round of golf.

3. The handicap fl ag does not allow you to drive your cart up next to the tee box or the green. The rule of getting your cart back on the cart path next to the tee box or green is still in effect.

4. When the signs are up at the #1 or #10 tee box, CART PATHS ONLY! This means all carts, regardless of whether or not you have a handicap fl ag. What this means is the course is too wet for cart traffi c and all the carts must stay on the cart paths.

REMEMBER:WHAT WE PRESERVE TODAY,

WE WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY TOMORROW.Thanks,

David Long

The New Year is upon us, and things at the Lodge are looking up!

This past month has brought many changes to us here at your Lodge. The biggest of these changes is the new addition to our staff. We welcomed Chef Craig Singer at the end of November, and he has already had a huge impact. Craig comes to us with a fantastic pedigree. He is a Certified Professional Chef and graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in New York. He has worked in some wonderful white tablecloth restaurants and brings with him a sizeable catalog of outstanding dishes.

We have had more compliments on the food than any time that I can remember, and there has been a trickle-down effect on the entire staff. Everyone on the staff seems to be taking more pride in their work and, as such, service has also improved greatly.

With these things in place, we feel we have an excellent recipe for increased sales with a decrease in costs. This will be a benefit to the entire Lake Kiowa community. I would personally like to invite everyone to come in and give us a try.

As always, we would like to extend our thanks for the continued support of Your Lodge, and for the opportunity to continue to serve Lake Kiowa.

Have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season and a safe New Year!

Brett Wilson

Dear Friends and Neighbors,It has been often said that Lake

Kiowa is a wonderful place to live, but we didn’t know how caring and supportive the entire community was until George developed health problems. For the last eighteen months the calls, cards, food, visits and prayers never stopped. When he died the outpouring of loving sympathy has comforted me and my family. Each of you has shown us God’s grace working through your actions.

Our loving thanks to all of you.Sarah Franklin and Family

Dear Friends,Words seem inadequate in

expressing our love, thanks and gratitude for your wonderful support for us at the loss of our precious daughter, Tonia.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers, calls, cards, beautiful flowers and plants, delicious food, memorial donations and visits. Your presence at the service truly touched our hearts.

Love and blessings to all of you.

Rich and Phyllis Gardner

I want to express my sincere thanks to all my friends and neighbors for their calls, prayers, cards, visits, food, flowers and a multitude of assistance during my recent illness. I was overwhelmed by the outpouring of love from each and every one of you. Your concern for my well being is deeply appreciated. Thank you so much for your kindness and thoughtfulness.

This is just one more manifestation of the blessings gained from living in this wonderful community!

LAKE KIOWA DUPLICATE BRIDGE CLUB CHRISTMAS PARTY

The Lake Kiowa Duplicate Bridge Club held its annual Christmas Party Sunday, Dec. 8 at the Lodge. Players snacked and sipped until 5 p.m., when the Lodge restaurant servers presented dinner to all—players and spouses. Despite the poor weather and necessity of driving around the lake to arrive at the Lodge, all enjoyed a good time.

Our friends from Sherman took home the honors: Gene and Judy Kincaid were fi rst in the E/W players, while Bert Dempsey and Frankie Anderson won N/S for the second week in a row.

The Lake Kiowa Duplicate Bridge Club meets Mondays at 12:30 p.m. in the Lodge. Although winners receive points toward their ACBL ranking, it is not necessary to be a member of the ACBL to play in our game. All you need is a partner and the desire to have a fun on a Monday afternoon.

If you have a question, call Sandi Hollon at (940) 668-8290, Bob Bergbower at (940) 668-7758, Christy McKenzie at (940) 668-1130, or Dick Carroll at (940) 665-3037.

PATRICK W. ALFORD RECEIVES PhD IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING

Patrick William Alford, son of Deborah and Dennis Alford of Lebanon, Illinois, and grandson of Miriam and Bill Beebe of Lake Kiowa, successfully defended his thesis and received a Doctor of Philosophy in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri, on Oct 12. Dr. Alford completed his undergraduate studies at Bradley University, Peoria, Illinois, graduating cum laude in mechanical engineering in May 2001. He is a 1997 graduate of O’Fallon High School, O’Fallon, Illinois.

Under the tutelage of Dr. Larry A. Taber, Ph.D., Dr Alford has been conducting research in the biomedical engineering fi eld relating to arterial growth and development. He has co-authored and singly authored several articles published in scientifi c journals over the course of his studies at Washington University. His doctoral thesis consisted of an in-depth computational study of arterial adaptation in response to perturbation in physical loading; for example, hypertension. Dr. Alford plans to continue his work in this fi eld in a postdoctoral fellowship and eventually obtain a teaching/research position at a major research university.

Happy New Year!The celebration of Christmas

and election of new Board members were the main topics of the Chapel Quarterly Business Meeting and potluck dinner held in the Lodge on Dec. 10. The chapel choir started out the evening performing some beautiful Christmas music before sitting down to a delicious potluck dinner and fellowship. During the business meeting, which followed the dinner, it was noted that additional money had been given to the Cooke County Friends of the Family after the last meeting when they shared their services to the community with us. The Christmas Caroling arrangements for Dec. 22 were made. Election of Board members was held with Linda Stroup, Jaqui Stewart, and Dwayne Hopson elected to two-year terms, while Brent Reed and Sharon James will join J. B. Cole, Peggy Coolidge, and June Cloud with one year to serve. Dwayne Hopson thanked Paul Liscom, Shirley Falkenhagen and Phyllis Gardner for their service as they leave the Board.

Regular Sunday morning chapel services are scheduled at 8 a.m. in the Lodge Assembly Room. Rev. John Hare and Rev. J. L. Williams are the pastors delivering their messages on alternate Sunday mornings.

Rev. Williams will deliver the message on Jan. 6 entitled “How To Redeem a Resolution” with text from Psalm 132:2-5.

“Body Parts” is the title of Rev. Hare’s message Jan. 13 with text from I Corinthians 12:12-26.

Rev. Williams’ message on Jan. 20 will be “How To Start Over.” The text of this message will be from Psalm 23:2.

Rev. Hare’s message on Jan. 27 will be entitled “Owls,

Oaks, and Graveyards.” His text will be from I Corinthians 15:12-20.

Résumé Of Jerry Richard HollonI was born November 23, 1938,

in Wellington, Texas. Parents were ranchers/farmers. I was the 2nd of 3 boys. Graduated from Royse City High School in 1957. Attended U.T. Austin earning a B.S. in 1961. Taught and coached in Austin I.S.D. for 3 years. Served 2 years in U.S. Army. Worked for a builder/developer as superintendent of construction for 7 years. Married Sandy Schoenfeld of Houston in 1966. Daughter Kim was born in 1966 and son Andy in 1971. We have six grandchildren. Earned a M.S. from U.T. Austin in 1974. Taught and worked in school administration from 1974 – 1998.

Purchased lot at Lake Kiowa in 1990, built a home in 1996, and retired here in 1998. In the interim, I served 17 years on the Lake Pointe Medical Center Board in Rowlett, Texas. I am a fi rm believer in good water management. It is one of our most precious resources. If elected to the Kiowa Homeowners Water Supply Corp. Board, I will work diligently to see that the community’s water needs are met.

Résumé Of Joe Dean MullinsGraduated from Sterling City High

School, Sterling City, Texas in 1952. Attended Odessa College in Odessa, Texas with a major in Economics.

In 1955 married my wife of 52 years, Gwen and had two children, six grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

Moved to Houston in 1964 and was a Sales Manager and Vice President of US Home Corporation. Upon leaving the corporate world, started a general construction business in the Dallas area. During the following years, I built homes, water treatment plants, water transmission lines, sewer lift stations, hospitals, libraries and was the general contractor for the Club House in Trophy Club, Texas. We did primarily municipal and Federal Government work.

While living in the Albuquerque, NM area, I obtained my real estate license and specialized in mountain property in the Sandia Park, Cedar Crest area.

While looking for a place to retire and return to Texas, we found Lake Kiowa in 1998 and thought we had arrived in paradise and have not found any reason to change our minds. I am active in golf, having served two terms as Assistant Project Chairman and three terms on the Couples Golf Association Board.

I am anxious to “give back” to a community, which has given so much to us, and if elected, will always keep the best interest of the community fi rst.

BOARD NOTES Continued from page 1

Leadership Lake Kiowa students in December had the opportunity to learn about various community standing, advisory, and ad hoc committees such as Long Range Planning, Architectural Control, Ways and Means, Rules Enforcement, Lake and Parks, Communications, Golf and others. The group also learned about the CommuniQue, i. e., how this monthly publication came into being originally and how it has developed to its present form.

The fi nal session for this program, the fi fth year of its existence, will take place

Friday, Jan. 4 at 9 a.m. in the Southwest Room at the Lodge. The focus will be on those Cooke County and State of Texas entities that affect the lives of Lake Kiowa residents. Organizations to be represented during the briefi ngs include law and order, emergency management and homeland security, Commissioners Court, and health care, among others. In addition, representatives from various Lake Kiowa organizations will discuss what their groups accomplish for the community.

Résumé Of John SeefeldtMy wife, Janice, and I are relatively

new residents of Lake Kiowa, having moved here from Carrollton in December 2006.

My business career spans 34 years in the corporate world, all of it in middle management in the Information Technology (IT) discipline. I worked for two organizations – Hardin-Simmons University and GTE/Verizon Telephone.

I graduated from Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas in 1972 and managed the University computer center operations for six years.

In 1978, I accepted a position with GTE Telephone and went “back home” to San Angelo, Texas. I held various technical and managerial positions at the phone company headquarters. In 1981, I earned an MBA in Management from Angelo State University.

In 1989, I transferred to Irving, Texas when GTE consolidated all their regional phone company operations into a “national” headquarters. I spent 3 years in IT Planning, concentrating on business process management.

In 1992, I transferred to the GTE Yellow Pages division. I held a strategic planning position for 3 years and then managed various groups of computer programmers and system analysts for

Résumé Of Bill WhiteMy wife, Johnnye, and I moved

to Lake Kiowa in January 1994. We consider Lake Kiowa one of the best places in the world to live as we moved a lot during the 42 plus years that I worked for Babcock & Wilcox Co. My work in the Power Generation Division included construction, fi eld service, design, project management, sales and management. I sold a lot of fossil fueled plants for both industrial and utility plants and made proposals on nuclear utility plants. I held a Professional Engineer’s License from the State of Texas and was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME).

I grew up in Wichita Falls, TX and after high school graduation went on to Texas A&M, graduating with a BS in engineering. After a short time with Babcock & Wilcox I received orders to report for active duty during the Korean War. Following active duty I served an additional 10 years in the reserves and then received an honorable discharge with the rank of Captain.

I have served on the Long Range Planning Committee and am currently serving on the Architectural Control Committee and the Ways and Means Committee. Presently we are in the throes of doing a complete rewrite of the ACC manual.

I served for 6 years on the Appraisal Review Board for the Cooke County Appraisal District. It is not an easy task

to make everyone happy but we strived for fairness and complete honesty with all who protested their appraised property value. I had the privilege of getting to know a lot of folks who live in Cooke County.

One of my joys is teaching a Sunday school class for singles and parents without partners at the First Baptist Church of Gainesville.

Johnnye and I have been married for 57 years and have three children, nine grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. We moved to Lake Kiowa from Richardson, TX because it was close to all our grandchildren and had amenities such as a golf course, lake, security and an opportunity to make friends easily due to all the activities that Lake Kiowa has to offer.

To serve is an honor, and if elected I will do my utmost to insure that Lake Kiowa has and maintains a steady water supply.

11 years. As a Systems Manager, I was responsible for groups ranging in size from 10 to 25 employees, with salary and expense budgets from $1 million to $3 million.

I remained with GTE (which later became Verizon when GTE and Bell Atlantic merged in 2000) until my retirement in December 2006.

The management philosophy I developed during my career was very simple – “people” & “process.” I always tried to remember that the employees I supervised were people fi rst and employees second. And my 30+ years in corporate America convinced me that the key factor in management is the “process.” Regardless of the business function involved, the key to running a business smartly is defi ning, understanding and executing the business processes.

Now that I’m on permanent recess (to use the term I heard from a golf buddy), I spend my time on the golf course and helping my wife with her business, Arbor Electronics. The job title on my business card is: “Mail Boy Extraordinaire (when not golfi ng)”. The key part is “when not golfi ng” — one must keep their priorities in order.

As far as accomplishments, I would say my proudest accomplishment is helping to raise a son who has chosen to serve his country as a United States Marine. Whatever else you do today (and tomorrow), please remember all our troops in your thoughts and prayers.

The ladies of the Lake Kiowa Quilting Bee made and donated a beautiful quilt to the 2007 Rally for the Cure®. This quilt was raffl ed off after the Rally golf tournament luncheon.

Marilynn Openshaw of Greensboro, North Carolina won the raffl e. She was here at Lake Kiowa visiting her sister Bonnie O’Neil and purchased a ticket at our Fourth of July Festival. Marilynn is thrilled with the quilt and has taken it to her local quilting groups for them to see.

Congratulations, Marilynn! We hope to see you again when you visit here the next time.

Thank You, CatharineCatharine Moss has been a member of the Communication Committee for more

than fi ve years. During this time she made many signifi cant contributions to the programs and procedures the committee has developed. The major contribution was her proofreader’s eagle eye and the incisive articles she wrote as she helped the CommuniQue staff prepare a high-quality issue each month.

Catharine has submitted her resignation, stating that she is reassessing her activities at this time. The members of our committee reluctantly accepted this request. Lake Kiowa homeowners owe Catharine a hearty thank-you for everything she has accomplished here.

The Fifth Annual Bake Sale was held Nov. 21 despite “Ole Man Winter’s” appearance. People bundled up and braved the cold to purchase delicious homemade breads, pies, cakes, preserves, pickles and candy. The Fire Department received numerous pre-orders for the infamous Turkey Cookies, homemade breads and pies.

The LKVFD would like to thank those who donated baked goods. Thanks also to those who donated freshly canned preserves and pickles. We have great bakers at Kiowa.

A huge thank you to everyone who braved the cold to purchase items during the sale and those who pre-ordered! Deliveries were made as far away as Frisco and Muenster. Your donations and purchases help fund your Fire Department.

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Although our regular monthly sales will not resume until March (weather permitting), we will have sales on an intermittent basis throughout the winter. We receive items frequently, so, if you are in need of or looking for something specific, give us a call. We’ll be happy to arrange a time to meet with you.

The OUTPOST “THRIFT STORE,” a major fundraiser for your Fire Department, generates money through donations of gently-used items to resell at our monthly sales. Items we accept must be clean and in working condition. We do not accept clothing, soiled or broken furniture, dirty non-working appliances, and by law, we cannot accept used plumbing fixtures such as toilets, sinks, faucets, etc. If you wish to donate

and are unsure as to what is acceptable, please give us a call. Remember: all donations to the OUTPOST “THRIFT STORE” are tax-deductible.

To donate items, call Dee at (940) 665-4046, Peggy at (940) 665-7977, or the fire station at (940) 665-9321. Be sure to leave your name and a brief message and we’ll return your call as soon as possible. In order to keep the Fire Department’s property free from clutter, we ask that you do not drop off your donated items at the fire station.

Due to the nature of services the Fire Department provides, it is sometimes difficult to adhere to a strict timetable so please be patient and we’ll pick up your donated items as soon as possible.

Hattie, a black tricolor Australian Shepherd and Dawn Budner, her owner and handler, won their AKC MACH (Master of Agility Championship) title Friday, Nov. 30 at the Myers Event Center in McKinney, Texas. Six-year old Hattie and her best buddy, Dawn, have been working to earn their MACH title over four years, earning over 750 points and 20 double qualifi cation rounds to achieve their goal.

AKC dog agility competition takes place on a course consisting of from

13 to 22 obstacles, including weave poles, tire, teeter totter, dog walk, A-frame, broad jump, tunnels, chutes, and other assorted jumps arranged in a specifi c way to run for a specifi c time to achieve. Dogs with a high drive potential including Border Collies, Welsh Corgis, Jack Russell Terriers, Australian Shepherds, and Heelers especially love the sport, but any dog can achieve the skill and enjoy the sport. “I’ve been competing in Agility for 12 years and the adrenalin rush from this competition with your best buddy is more exhilarating than you can imagine,” Ms. Budner shared. “Even when you make a mistake, it’s still a blast!”

Ms. Budner also competes in AKC Dog Agility with her Welsh Corgi, Labrador retriever, and Blue Merle Australian Shepherd, but this is her fi rst MACH title with AKC. The only titles bigger are the Nationals and the Worlds. “But the best fun is playing agility right in my own backyard every day. I had a total knee replacement this year and was competing with my buddies eight weeks after the surgery, and...I’m over 60!”

Dawn Budner

A big thank you

goes out to the Frank Buck Zoological Society Board that supplied both the cookies and volunteers to staff both the refreshment and crafts tables.

Although there was much speculation and concern about the weather the week leading up to the annual Gainesville Chamber Lighted Christmas Parade and Zoo Lights, when the time came, we were blessed with great weather. It was a fun family-friendly way for the community to come together and wrap up a challenging year. Frank Buck

Fron the President ...Happy New Year! All the holiday

events were wonderful. The Lodge was beautifully decorated for the season thanks to Pat Jessee, Mary Bingham, Marilyn Wickersham, Betty Sue Vickery, Audrene Robison and their committees. A special thank you to R.D., Georgia and Rita of our maintenance staff who helped hang all the wreaths and garlands.

The Tour of Homes was a great success thanks to the hard work of Chairs Jackie Schmaltz and Katherine Thacker and all the hostesses who helped at the homes. Of course, particular appreciation goes to the six home owners who graciously shared their homes with us: Sam and Susan Baldwin, Tom and Elaine Blackwell, Mike and Donna Erwin, Jack and Patty Oppel, John and Janice Seefeldt and Glenn and Christy West.

I hope you had a chance to drive around Lake Kiowa to enjoy the holiday lights and decorations. Names and photos of our holiday lighting winners are included in this issue of the

The annual Christmas Bridge/Canasta Card Party was a huge success. Jan Thompson and Peggy Carpenter are to be commended for once again producing another great event.

I felt very satisfi ed with the results of the Christmas Tree Card Holder that I made in Arts & Crafts in December. I was also “satisfi ed” with the great food at Garden & Nature’s Christmas Potluck Brunch held at Katherine Thacker’s home. I am sure I ate more than I should, just as I did at the Gourmet dinner at Lantana that over 85 attended. The holidays are just not a good time to diet. Hope you did better than I.

You missed a great review if you did not attend Book Review in December at Linda Ford’s lovely home. Jo Ann Gill did such a fabulous job with insightful comments that I certainly intend to read “Same Kind of Different Than Me.” . . At our Dec. 13 meeting, ten of our members had the fun of playing “dress-up” for a Victorian Style Show that Cynthia Dronberger and LeAnne Morlan presented. The rest of us had the pleasure of watching our friends in

Sharon Chapman, VP/Program Chair, has been able to reschedule North Texas artist Donna Howell-Sickle for our next meeting, Jan. 10. This is a change from the published information in our yearbook. Hope you can attend.

Don’t forget the Candidate Forum on Sunday, Jan. 27 at 6:30 p.m. Come and meet the candidates for the LKPOA board and listen to their views on relevant issues regarding our community.

Remember: check your yearbook, CommuniQué, Web site and entry gate signs for dates of all the upcoming events.

As we begin 2008, I want to wish everyone joy and good health in this New Year.

A HOME TOUR THANK YOU

Barbara Baar, door prize winner for the month of December.

Despite the windy weather the Lake Kiowa Woman’s Club Home Tour on Dec. 2 was very successful. Our homeowners, John and Janice Seefeldt, Tom and Elaine Blackwell, Sam and Susan Baldwin, Glenn and Christy West, Jack and Patty Oppel, and Mike and Donna Erwin were so gracious to open their homes for this successful event. Each house had its own personality and was beautifully decorated. A big THANK YOU goes out to each and every one of them.

The success does not stop there. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes to our Kiowa ladies who volunteered their time to work during the event. Without them this event would not have been possible. I personally would like to thank Katherine Thacker, who stepped up as my right-hand person, for all her tireless, unwavering support. I could have not done my job without her.

Thank you again to all those involved,

Jackie Schmaltz, ChairKatherine Thacker, Co-Chair

Garden & Nature had a Christmas Social at Katherine Thacker’s house. Amid all the decorations and Christmas carols, we did a little bit of business and decided to continue with the Remembrance Garden at the Lodge. We also had interest in cleaning up the Little Fox Garden. Ideas are still welcome on these projects. We collected two boxes of food and almost $200 for V.I.S.T.O. But, the best part was all the great dishes everyone brought for the potluck brunch. Yum!

In January we will meet in Jane Outlaw’s home at 915 Kiowa Drive West. Master Gardener and Habitat Ambassador Tawana Stafford will share information on these programs.

(L-R): Judy Beard, JoAnn Gill and Linda Ford.

(L, front to back): Linda Ford, Peggy Gilmore, Inez and Ray Freeman, and Ann LaRue (at foot of table); (R, front to back): Carol Gillies, Lorraine McKissick, Audrene and James Robison and Jerry LaRue.

The Out-to-Lunch groups of Gourmet met at Lantana’s in Pilot Point for the Christmas get-together.

The purpose of Kiowa Woman’s Club is “to promote social and cultural activities for the members and community of Lake Kiowa.” Our December meeting was a fi ne example of how the Book Review Department embodies the club’s purpose. We wish to thank Linda Ford for opening her beautiful home to us, and Judy Beard and Barbara Mock for furnishing us with lots of delicious refreshments. The holiday atmosphere enhanced our social time.

Jo Ann Gill presented a truly outstanding review of Same Kind of Different As Me. Even those who had

already read the book teared up as Jo Ann related the stories of Ron Hall and Denver Moore, an international art dealer and modern-day slave. She transported us back to the ignoble days of brutal racism and then brought us forward with the possibilities of life-altering love. Thank you, Jo Ann, for an unforgettable morning.

Mark your calendar now: Mahaley Davis will host our next meeting on Feb. 1. Jan Johnson will be the reviewer; check next month’s article for more details.

Many thanks to the members of the WGA who hosted the chili lunch before play began. The ladies provided the

Cooler temperatures have arrived with some rain and perhaps by the time we have the board meeting, some freezing precipitation.

We have had the last tournament of the year, the Workers Chili Tournament. I would like to thank the volunteers who have worked on the course throughout the year, both from the MGA and WGA. A big thanks goes to Judy Neal and all the ladies of the WGA for providing the food to all.

I would like to remind everyone that the tournament is for all that worked on the course, to include taking care of flowerbeds, weed-eating, filling divots, etc. Even if you not a member of the MGA or WGA, we would like for you to come out and play in the tournament. Thanks again to one and all!!

who is keeping the scorecard. You should check your scoring record to make sure that all of the scores entered are your scores. If you find you have a score that is not yours then you should utilize the edit sheet in the Handicap Notebook that is lying next to the computer. The Handicap Committee can make the necessary corrections to your record.

Each month the Handicap Committee meets and goes over the records of our golfers using the Handicap System. What we look for are the obvious mistakes that we all make.

One of the most common errors is the date. We will enter our number, the date comes up and we start entering our hole-by-hole scores. When we notice it we go on through the program and enter the scores where they should be and we fail to correct the date. When you catch yourself doing this, you should back completely out to the main menu, using the minus key, and start over.

The December MGA Playday was held Dec. 8, closing out this year’s schedule. We had the largest turnout that we have had in several months; 92 golfers participated in a Rotor’s Revenge Scramble. Draft beer, nuts and snacks were provided at the end of play.

If you don’t know what a Rotor’s Revenge Scramble is, ask someone who played. It was quite a mixer, but diffi cult to explain in print. If you have ever thought about how diffi cult our golf course could be at its toughest, you missed the chance to experience it. All the tees were at the back tips and the pin locations were the toughest to reach or putt. It was different and fun in a warped sort of way.

The next MGA Playday will be Jan. 12, beginning with lunch and meeting at 11:30 a.m. followed by a 1 p.m. shotgun start. The 2008 schedule has not been fi nalized at this time. The format for January will be announced before sign up begins. (Poor quality of photos below due to location.)

is needed. R.J. Stroup will convene a meeting with Jim Williams, Jay Titus, Jim Lewis, and David Long to prioritize the project list.

Tournaments: Our Dec. 8 playday, “Rotors Revenge,” was well attended and well named! It was interesting to play the course truly “from the tips” to some interesting hole placements.

The board has begun discussions on the Beautifi cation Tournament so the players in the tournament will see specifi cally where the funds are going.

Old Business: Status of the warm-up practice area around #1 tee box needs to be confi rmed with the LKPOA board.

The by-law change will be presented voted at the December meeting and also the recommended slate of new offi cers.

Update: The by-law change was approved and the following new offi cers were elected to the board for 2008: Jay Titus, Jim Lewis, Jim Hawkins, Izak Botha and John Beck. R.J. Stroup was elected to a second term.

New Business: The proposal for the practice area has been taken to the board and tentatively included in David Long’s budget for next year.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:45 a.m.

Respectfully submitted,John Wolek

The LKACC would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year! With the occasional changes in temperatures, the fi shing has remained good. History has shown that many record bass are caught in the winter months. Don’t let the cool temperatures keep you off the lake.

The club hosted its annual Christmas party on Dec. 20. We made a few changes this year and presented our annual fi shing awards during the Christmas party. Danny Belcher was presented awards for Angler of the Year, Men’s Division and Big Bass of the Year; his big bass weighed 6.8 pounds. Paddy Merolla took fi rst place in the Women’s Division and Ben Fisk fi nished on top of the Youth Division. Congratulations to the 2007 winners.

Many thanks go to Brett and the Lodge staff for their service. Due to the timing of our Christmas Party, more details shall be forthcoming.

The year 2007 was a great year for our club. The club added new artifi cial cover in many areas of the lake. Among other positive impacts, placement of this cover will help give the fi sh additional habitat that will help the fry survive. The LKPOA and the LKACC jointly acquired Pond King’s services to install a new dock near the #13 tee box. This will provide the community much- needed lake access to these restrooms.

The 2008 schedule of events and membership applications will be included in an upcoming LKPOA statement. Your paid membership helps the club provide several events throughout the year as well as conservation and management of our lake and lake assets. Some of these events include the Boys and Girls Club of Gainesville’s day of fun at the lake and youth fi shing events. Information regarding membership and club events will be posted on the Anglers and Conservation Club page on the Lake Kiowa Web site under the Clubs and Associations tab.

Don Hoover, Manager

During the Dec. 17 LKPOA Board meeting, a resident requested clarification of the do’s and don’ts regarding refuse collection. The homeowner wondered why some of the items he put out for pickup recently were taken while other identical items were not. What follows is delineation of present procedures as reflected in the extant refuse collection contract that Public Works Manager Don Hoover provided. In addition, Section 1.11 and paragraphs 4.3.1.h.(2), 4.3.4.g, and 4.3.6.c of the LKPOA Rules and Regulations (see the Web page under Documents) provide additional information on this subject.

Gary DavidsonChief of Security

Kiowans adapted well to the inconveniences posed by the recent closing of #1 low water crossing. Actually, having to find and utilize the Navajo Gate was a good exercise for West Side residents as future emergency situations could possibly necessitate the evacuation of the community through that gate. But I think I speak for the Security Department and residents alike when I say we are very happy that this little exercise did not last any longer than it did. Security patrol effected 20 traffic stops during this reporting period, issuing two citations for speeding.

Three motorists were given assistance and one auto accident was investigated. In an action atypical for this time of year, two Jet Ski operators were stopped for not wearing life jackets. Security personnel were sent to two residences for welfare concerns, responded to a 9-1-1 hang-up, investigated a residence alarm, removed an illegal sign and secured an unlocked door. Patrol also attempted to locate a missing person, a prowler, a suspicious person, a suspicious vehicle and a trespasser.

The Security Department received two complaints of disorderly conduct

and one of disturbing the peace. The Cooke County Sheriff’s Department lent assistance with both of the disorderly conduct incidents. The Constable’s Office gave invaluable assistance in the successful resolution of a complaint involving soliciting and contractor fraud. Security documented two more incidents of mail being taken from mailboxes and received a report of the theft of a mailbox ornament. The Cooke County Sheriff’s Department does have the names of suspects connected to the

above-mentioned theft of mail and the investigation is ongoing.

Animal Control Officers responded to 21 stray dog calls and 3 loose cat complaints. Four varmints were dealt with, as was a loose cow. Two citations were issued for leash law violations and one dog was taken to Noah’s Ark Shelter in Gainesville. Guardhouse personnel monitored 17 LKVFD emergencies. Three ambulances were escorted to residences within Lake Kiowa.
