Annual Holiday Lighting Contest

Windstorm Takes Toll On Area Trees

It is with real regret that we announce the resignation of our Community Manager, Scott Campbell, who resigned his position in order to accept an opportunity as the City Manager of Sunnyvale, Texas. We sincerely thank Scott for his outstanding leadership during his employment with the LKPOA and wish him the very best in his future personal and professional endeavors.

As we say goodbye to Scott, we say welcome to J. T. King who recently started as our Lodge Manager. J. T. has a BBA from the University of North Texas and experience as a restaurant entrepreneur. He has already demonstrated a high level of commitment and caring for our community. We will certainly miss Pat Greenlee in the Lodge, but are thrilled that she will be back in the LKPOA Office.

Within two days of receiving Scott’s resignation, the Board approved and funded a search committee to find his replacement. This committee, comprised of two current board members, Peggy Padgham, Chairman, and Lee Skinner, along with two

former LKPOA Board Presidents, Bob Bergbower and Bob Wickersham, immediately placed advertisements on three Web sites and in two industry newsletters. Resumes are being received until Jan. 1, 2007.

Please note that the LKPOA office will be closed on Friday, Dec. 22, and Monday, Dec. 25, in celebration of the Christmas Holiday. The Lodge will be closed on Sunday, Dec. 24 as well as on Christmas Day.

The Nov. 20 board meeting was well attended and included a variety of updates: J. B. Cole announced that the Nominating Committee had six candidates for the three vacancies that will occur on the Board of Directors next quarter: Frieda Fiske, Linda Moore, Wayne Shearer, Robert Skupin, Jerry Slater and Bob Wickersham. The Long Range Planning Committee presented an update that centered on the continuity between each year’s planning and the focus for the future. The entire text is available on our Web site. Joe Brockette and David Long presented an informative slide show on additional golf course irrigation needs. The data

they compiled will be invaluable to budgetary and planning considerations. The Board also heard recommendations from the Golf Committee for a master plan for the driving range.

A big THANK YOU is extended to the board nominees who have expressed their willingness to serve our community. Thanks are also offered to everyone who participated in the preparations for the Christmas Lighting Celebration, those who transformed our Lodge with festive holiday decorations, and the Public Works staff for their extra efforts clearing debris after the recent windstorm. Merry Christmas to one and all,

Linda Fite

L.K.P.O.A. Candidates ForumBoxes will be placed in the Lodge,

Pro Shop and the POA office for your questions for the Lake Kiowa Property Owners Association Board candidates.

Selected questions will be addressed at Lake Kiowa Woman’s Club Candidates Forum in January.

Little rain but lots of wind hit Lake Kiowa in early November. The storm trimmed many trees and uprooted a few of them around the lake and the golf course. (More pictures on page 28.)

Judging for the annual Holiday Lighting Contest will be on Dec. 7, 8 and 9 with selection of the finalists on Sunday, Dec. 10. Make sure your lights are turned on between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. on these dates because there will be judging each of these four nights. There will be four winners, all considered first place, recognized with a gift certificate for the Lodge as well as a wooden tree staked in the winners’ yards though

the holidays. The winners will also be posted on the front gate activity board and Web site.

Now is the time to start planning how to make your home light up in the spirit of the holidays. Good luck and we hope you have as much fun decorating as we do judging all the beautifully decorated homes. Happy Holidays from the Kiowa Woman’s Club who sponsor this contest.

Kathie Milburn

The lighting ceremony at the entrance on Nov. 25 officially welcomed the Holidays with a program of music, cookies and hot chocolate, Santa for the kiddies and the unveiling of the new camel and shooting star in the Nativity display. The Nativity was a dream of the Spencers and has been added to by the Kiowa Woman’s Club each year.

Top 5 Chip Winners

Photos: C. Hutchinson

The professional dealers and Poker Room Supervisors from Winstar Casino made our Nov. 18 High School Texas Hold ‘Em night something special! Youth Action Club member Mary Ewing recruited some of her husband Roy’s Winstar co-workers to provide the teens an opportunity to play with the Pros. YAC member Danielle Howeth’s husband, Shane, along with John and Lisa Averill, rallied behind the idea and came on board to make it fun and educational. Barrett Plier conducted the tournament in the Southwest Room, and the top five chip leaders received prizes.

As many of you are already aware, this will be my last report as your Community Manager. I have recently submitted my resignation to assume the duties of Town Manager for the Town of Sunnyvale. While I was not actively seeking a new position, I was contacted about this possibility and after Amber and I evaluated the opportunity at length, have decided it is a positive career move for the entire family. I have really enjoyed my job and life at Lake Kiowa, as it has been a wonderful and rewarding experience for my entire family. As you may be aware, the Town of Sunnyvale is a growing, progressive city with many challenges for its management team. The Town is on the cusp of significant

growth and is looking for a manager to help them properly plan and control the anticipated growth. I feel being a part of these challenges will be very beneficial for my long-term career goals.

It is of paramount importance to me that you know how much I appreciate the opportunity to serve this community. I strongly believe there is no other place like Lake Kiowa and I am proud to say I was a part of it, even though it was for a shorter time than I had anticipated. I wish everyone here the very best and, again, would like to say “thank you” for what was a great experience and opportunity!

Training will take place the first week of December.

In order to become a CASA volunteer, an individual must have a clean criminal history, a clean record with CPS, have good references and be over the age of 21. Individuals must then complete 30 hours of training provided by CASA and be selected to be sworn as a Guardian Ad Litem for the children.

If interested, please contact the CASA office in person at 900 N. Grand, Suite 101, Gainesville, by telephone at 665-2244 or by e-mail at [email protected].

To all the thoughtful, caring people of Lake Kiowa I offer my sincere thanks for your cards, calls, food, contributions and loving concern for me upon the death of by beloved Bob. All those expressions have made his loss so much easier to bear.

God bless you one and all.Linda S. M. Seal

Thank you, Lake Kiowa!You made the Cooke County United

Way Campaign a success this year by directly contributing over $14,500 to support the 18 agencies sponsored in Cooke County. This amount does not include money you may have given at your place of employment that was earmarked for our use, so we also want to salute those often-unknown givers.

Your money goes to support our youth and elderly, our health and well being, to assist with basic needs, and provide crisis intervention. We know the fine leaders and volunteers at these agencies would like to join us in expressing thanks for your generosity.

We had a record year raising over $396,000 in Cooke County, and it could not have happened without your help and support.

FREE CHRISTMAS CONCERTCome to the Performing Arts Center at North Central Texas College on Tuesday,

Dec. 5, at 7 p.m. for an exciting free concert. Sponsored by the Fine Arts Department, the evening will include three musical groups.

The North Central Texas Chorale will sing Robert Shaw’s “The Many Moods of Christmas.” The Wind Ensemble will play carols of the season. Dr. Michael Linder’s College Singers will sing, and the evening will conclude with carol singing by the audience.

No tickets are required. Come and enjoy a festive evening at the First State Bank Performing Arts Center.

of handmade crafts and specialty food items. Please take a look at our “Thank You” ad on page 6 and note those who gave either their time or a donation in support of Youth Activities at Lake Kiowa. One of the special attributes of this event is the truly multi-generational participation. Our Club is open to all who wish to be a part, no matter what age—–there is a place for you.

It’s hard to pick out the best highlight, but I think most would agree that the costume contest was special. Jan and Jack Thies and Scott Sundbye had a tough job with so many outstanding costumes. Age 5 and under winners were: 1st: Sasha Barletta; a tie for 2nd: David Brooks and Tyler Scott; Age 6 and Up 1st: Clarissa Brooks; and a tie for 2nd: Cora Bower and Tanner Thurman.

The funds our Club raised at our Fall Carnival and the 4th of July Celebration allows us to purchase equipment and conduct events throughout the year at either no or low-cost to participants. It is our goal to have a family or individual who is willing to sponsor an event with their leadership, and the Youth Action Club team will rally around that event to make it a great success. As it is with all clubs, if just a handful of people work year after year to provide leadership, the “energy well” will soon run dry. We understand people with busy lives are hesitant to become involved and over-committed, that’s why we are asking for one-time event commitments. Our special interest is creating a support network drawn from grandparents or adults without kids/grandkids who are willing to help out when needed. If you have a Youth activity/event request, or want to be counted in with our team to help when you can, please call Carol Hutchinson, 665-9275, or e-mail [email protected].

Letter to the EditorLake Kiowa CommuniQue

I wish to thank all the folks that participated in the signing of the petition to the State for the widening and resurfacing of State Farm Road 3092. We have over 200 signatures, plus the individual letters that were written to the local TxDOT office. Mr. Hallum assured me that these efforts and concerns will be presented at the regional meeting in Wichita Falls the first week in December. I requested that I be kept informed. We are hopeful that this matter will be considered and action taken. (If not, maybe we can go to a higher level!)

As a matter of information, I was told that work on State Farm Road 902 from Lake Kiowa east to the Grayson County line has been approved. And, I asked why 902 west could also be considered?

If anyone would like to follow up with an individual letter, it may be sent to: Texas Department of Transportation, Mr. Mike Hallum, 2615 West Hwy. 82, Gainesville, TX 76240.

Again, thanks to all of you! “It takes the efforts of many to make things happen!”

Sincerely,Dorothy Baskett

George R. SheirbonOctober 21

Patricia FuessNovember 8

Father Patrick Murphy, Pastor of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Gainesville, offered Holy Mass at Lake Kiowa Lodge on Oct. 30, with approximately sixty people in attendance. Father Pat greeted everyone with warm words of welcome and appreciation for the support and generosity extended by the people of Lake Kiowa to St. Mary’s Parish Community over the years. He noted the many volunteer programs supported by Lake Kiowans and thanked everyone for their efforts in this regard. During the Homily, he encouraged open discussion of questions regarding Church policy, procedures, and/or beliefs. He stated that he was always available to talk to anyone on these matters.

Following the Mass, a delicious potluck dinner and lots of friendly conversation were enjoyed by everyone. It was a lovely evening made special by Father Pat’s jovial, congenial presence. Plans are being made to have another Mass at Lake Kiowa in the spring.

The Quarterly Business Meeting and potluck dinner will take place in the Lodge on Dec. 4. Bring a dish and your utensils at 6:15 p.m. A business meeting will follow along with the Chapel Choir singing some of their Christmas music.

Election of new Chapel Board Directors will take place at the Dec. 3rd service. There will be four positions to fill: two directors that will serve for two years, and two filling one-year terms. The results of this election will be announced at the Quarterly Meeting on Dec. 4.

Chapel services are regularly scheduled at 8 a.m. every Sunday 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’ message Dec. 3 will be “God’s Christmas Gift ‘To’ You” with text from Galatians 3:15-22. Rev. Hare will deliver the message on Dec. 10 entitled “Scent Of A Savior” with text from Isaiah 40:1-11. Rev. Hare will deliver the message on Dec. 24 entitled “Jesus Eyes” with text from Isaiah 9:2-7. Rev. Williams will administer Holy Communion on Dec. 31.

The Chapel Choir will be performing their Christmas Cantata on Dec. 17. They normally sing on the third Sunday of each month and anyone interested in singing with this group is encouraged to join them. Practice is on Monday mornings at 7:45 a.m.

V.I.S.T.O. is the recipient of food contributed on the third Sunday of

every month. All packaged groceries are appreciated but each month a special need is identified if you are shopping specifically for it. In December their special need will be holiday items along with backpack items for the many children who do not have a supportive home environment on weekends and school holidays. However,

they are grateful for any contributions that are made including monetary.

The Lake Kiowa Chapel meets regularly every Sunday morning from 8 to 8:30 a.m. in the Lodge. All residents and guests are welcome. This is an interdenominational service that may precede your regular church service or a round of golf. Casual dress is always welcome. Please come and share this time with your friends and neighbors on Sunday morning at 8 a.m.

During the second session held in November, Lake Kiowa Leadership IV students broadened their understanding of Lake Kiowa Property Owners’ Association governing documents, internal structure and committee structure to help community members effectively utilize them in decision making. Joan Carroll and Gwen Mullins led the November session.

The group of twelve delved into the covenants, by-laws and the rules, plus made a visit to the Water Department

sites to gain insight into where and how we get our water and how it is distributed. Later on, Community Manager Scott Campbell and his department heads explained how their departments work and the key projects in which they are involved.

The next session of Leadership Lake Kiowa IV will take place at 9 a.m. on Dec. 1 at the Lodge.

The Computer Club Christmas Party will be held Dec. 14 at 5:30 p.m. at the Lodge. Come and enjoy the buffet and a chance to win door prizes and share the holiday spirit. Make your reservations by noon Dec. 5 to Bill Burhans, [email protected]. Election of officers for 2007 will also be held at this meeting.

This next year will bring several evolutionary changes to the personal computer environment. Here is a brief overview:

• Vista – Microsoft’s new operating system for PC. No, you do not need to upgrade. Your old system is just fine since Window’s XP will be viable for many years. As a matter of due course, I advise you to sit on the sidelines and wait for the bugs to shake out. I will be giving a review of Vista in detail in next month’s article.

• Microsoft Office 2007 – A new version of the popular office suite of products that includes Outlook, Word and PowerPoint. In fact, if you are using the 2000 or 2003 version of Office, you will be fine. The average person will probably never need to use the new features in the 2007 version. My advice: save your money and do not upgrade.

• Intel Duo 2 Core chips – The prevalent chipmaker has introduced a new set of higher-performance CPUs to replace the Pentium line. If you want the latest, greatest, and fastest and are willing to spend the premium to move up to a new system, there will be plenty from which to pick next year.

• Media Savvy PCs (PCs that act as the control center for audio and video systems) – They are already here, but will become more commonplace in the future. This PC, along with a streaming-capable home network, will let you enjoy games, video and audio throughout your home and even when you’re away from home. This is a new area with yet-to-be determined standards.

• New Remote Security Suites – A new popular trend is having technology installed on your machine so that a remotely located person can inspect your PC. This has the advantage of being able to tap into a large database of information to help keep your machine up to date. My concern is this: if they can look at the inner workings of your computer, what else might they be examining that is stored on your machine?

As new technologies evolve, the Lake Kiowa Computer Club will do its best to keep you informed and up to speed. To find out more, attend a meeting on the second or fourth Thursday of the month at the Lodge.

What to Expect in 2007

Peekaboo, Kangaroo!Just a few short months after arriving

at the Frank Buck Zoo earlier this year, zoo staff speculated that one of the female red kangaroos was about to become a mother for the first time. Female red kangaroos reach maturity at just 15-20 months, while males become mature when they are two years old. The gestation period of the kangaroo is very short; it is just 33 days.

“We began to expect something was up when several of the zoo staff witnessed the male kangaroo peering into the female’s pouch. A female will begin to clean out her pouch several days before she gives birth,” explained Zoo Director, Susan Kleven. Baby Red Kangaroos, are called “joeys.” The joey is tiny, hairless and blind when it is born and averages only one inch long. As soon as a joey is born, it crawls up the mother’s fur, into a pouch on the mother’s stomach and immediately attaches itself to a nipple inside the pouch. There are different nipples in the pouch that are designed for a joey to use during each stage of its growing process. “We didn’t want to take any chance of stressing her out, so we simply waited and watched,” said Kleven.

By July the female had a growing bulge that could only be a developing joey. In August the zoo staff often witnessed vigorous movement within the pouch, and by September zoo visitors were sometimes treated to get a quick glimpse of a toe or the tip of a tail poking out of mother’s pouch. By mid September the joey had started to peek its head out.

At about five months of age, a joey begins to venture out spending less and less time in the pouch, mainly using it to sleep, eat and to hide in. The joey will continue to enter the mother’s pouch for close to a year.

“The zoo staff has enjoyed the ‘baby bump’ watch, that resulted in a highly anticipated healthy joey. Currently, zoo staff usually shares at least one joey update a day over the staff radios,” shares Kleven.

Remember, there is always something new at the zoo. Check out our Web site, www.frankbuckzoo.com, for an up-to-date schedule of events. See you at the zoo!

KIOWA WOMAN’S CLUB NEWS

The holiday season is here. Everyone has so many things to do and so many places to go this month. In addition, we all have the shopping and decorating that needs to be done at our own homes. As I mentioned at the November meeting, now is the time to take your vitamins, keep your nail and hair appointments, consult your calendar, and join us for all the exciting events that will take place in December.

Our November program by Lois Whitson was absolutely delightful. Lois shared with us moments from her life while encouraging us to write our life story as a legacy to our children and grandchildren. Visiting the event were Lois’s daughter, Carol, and two granddaughters and a great granddaughter. Lois was kind enough to let us videotape her program. Thanks to Dave Bowman for doing the taping for us. We will have a copy of Lois’s program available for all of you who missed the event.

We want to give a “thank you hug” to our Kiowa Woman’s Club Lodge Decoration Committee for the transformation of the Lodge to its lovely holiday setting. Mary Bingham, Chair and Committee Members Audrene Robison and Marilyn Wickersham

were responsible for this huge task. These enterprising ladies approached the POA and the Friends of the Lodge to raise more money for updating the Christmas decorations. Thanks also to the volunteers that helped with the decorating plan. I know all of you will enjoy spending time with your families at the Lodge this holiday season.

The Christmas Lighting Ceremony was held on Saturday, Nov. 25. The two new additions to the Nativity, the shooting star and the camel, were unveiled prior to the lighting ceremony. Hot chocolate and cookies supplied by the Kiowa Woman’s Club Board of Directors were enjoyed by the children as they awaited the arrival of Santa. The two new pieces purchased by the Kiowa Woman’s Club are in honor of the past presidents of the organization. Joe Spencer was the driving force in getting the Nativity started at Lake Kiowa.

Nancy Spencer said she knows Joe is looking down and is so pleased with how beautiful it looks. The Nativity is now complete with the exception of the Three Wise Men. Hopefully, these pieces can be added in the near future.

Don’t forget the Christmas Tour of Homes on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Tour Chairs Linda Fite and Pat Jessee have done an outstanding job in organizing this fund-raising event. The tour includes five beautiful homes on all sides of the lake. Refreshments will be available in the Southwest Room at the Lodge from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. We will have a photographer available to take pictures for our Kiowa Woman’s Club Pictorial Directory. You will also be able to pick up the Kiowa Woman’s Club Cookbook for holiday gifts there as well. We hope you will all come and enjoy viewing these homes decked out in their holiday finery.

The Kiowa Woman’s Cookbook is for sale at our Woman’s Club meetings each month, as well as at the Kiowa Pharmacy. It is also available at various gift shop locations in Gainesville. Remember, this makes a wonderful holiday gift for friends and family. The price is $15 and all proceeds go to the 2007 Kiowa “Rally for a Cure®.”

Judging of the Christmas Lighting Contest will take place from Dec. 7 through Dec. 10. Please remember to have your lights on from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. each of these four nights. Four winners will be selected.

The Kiowa Woman’s Club will be entertained at our Dec. 14 meeting by

our Lake Kiowa “Hearts of Harmony” singing group. Please plan to join us as we take a few moments during this hectic time of the year to enjoy some of our holiday favorites. We will even get a chance to join in the singing. The twelve Mid-Continent states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin will be our region to be celebrated. It should be a fun time where you can forget about all the things on your to-do list and be pampered for a couple of hours.

Dec. 14 is the last date to have your picture made for the Kiowa Woman’s Club Pictorial Directory. If you are unable to make any of the photo shoots, please send us a picture of yourself with your name on the back to KWC, 901 Kiowa Drive West, Lake Kiowa, TX 76240. We want to get as many as possible of our members in this directory. We are pre-selling the directory for $5. It will be available at our March meeting.

This holiday season please take time to remember our friends who are alone. Try to include them in some of the activities here at Kiowa. I hope all of you have a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family and friends. Please travel safely.

I would like to close with another quote by an anonymous author. “When it hurts to look back and you’re scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.”

Greetings to all the ladies in Lake Kiowa. Arts & Crafts had a wonderful turnout in October. We will be meeting Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. in the Lodge. Our craft will be a Hanky Angel. We will be making this Angel a little different ly from the Angel we had on display at the November luncheon. This Angel will hang, so that we can put her on the Christmas tree. The hanging Angel will be much easier to make. I believe you will be proud of your work and will display your Angel with pride for all to see.

Please call Becky at 665-1079. The Arts & Crafts class needs to order

the “hankies” and we must have an approximate number of participants so that everyone will have one. So, please let me know as soon as possible if you will be coming to the class.

We will be meeting in the large dining area for this class. I hope to see you there!

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me.

As always...take care of one another and may our Father bless you so much.

Becky StoppelArts and Crafts Chair

November - time to travel to the South Atlantic region to enjoy the food of Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginia. Out-to-Lunch groups again set out in various directions. Three groups headed south - Group 1 going to Rock Fish in McKinney for an excellent meal. Group 2 went to Joe’s Crab Shack in Plano, and following lunch, split up into two groups - one going to Collin Creek Mall to shop and the other to the Allen Outlet. Group three enjoyed the Backstage in Gainesville, as did In-Home Group 8. Group 6 also went to Gainesville to the newly opened Edelweiss Tea Haus on the Square where they were treated to a luncheon prepared especially for them - Crab Cakes with Sweet White Corn-and-Tomato Relish, Marinated Green Beans and Okra Salad, Hoppin John Salad,

Peppered Cheddar Muffins and a choice of Bread Pudding or Buttermilk Pie. Group 4 headed north to Two Frogs in Ardmore. Group 5 went south to Dallas’ North Park Shopping Center to dine at The Bistro in Nordstrom’s. In-Home Group 7 met at Jaylene Smith’s home. Heart Healthy met at Julia Mayo’s, and enjoyed a delicious heart healthy meal. They also learned more about foods to help maintain a healthy heart and how to recognize the symptoms of a heart attack and what to do. Culinary Gourmet chose to go out to lunch at The Pub in Gainesville. Whatever direction they traveled, all groups agreed that the food was delicious and the shopping fun.

The food was excellent and the service spectacular. Diners included Dottie Bradley, Betty Feemster, Kathie Milburn, Debbie Nolan, Lois Whitson, Gussie Utting, Fran Norman and Vickie Liles. Thank you to Richard Morgan who was nice enough to interrupt his lunch and volunteer to take the picture.

Dottie BradleyDecember is a time for giving.

Garden and Nature will be giving to V.I.S.T.O. at our Potluck Brunch on Dec. 18. V.I.S.T.O. is a wonderful organization that helps needy families right here in Cooke County.

Five Homes Announced for Annual Christmas Tour of Homes

The Kiowa Woman’s Club Christmas Tour of Homes is on Sunday, Dec. 3 from 1 to 5 p.m. The five houses on this year’s Tour are representative of the variety of homes within Lake Kiowa and come in different shapes, sizes, and ages. Each is either newly constructed, newly renovated, or newly decorated. This is always a fun afternoon so be sure to invite your friends and relatives (remember to arrange for them to get through the gate.) You may purchase tickets and enjoy refreshments at the Lodge from 12:30 to 3 p.m. Tickets will also be available at each house on the tour. Tour-day tickets are $7 each. There is still time to purchase pre-sale tickets for $6 by calling Linda Fite on the west side (668-2639) or Pat Jessee on the east side (668-7453). Please make checks payable to Kiowa Woman’s Club.

Linda Fite

826 Kiowa Drive East - Patsy and Ed MoodyBased on the other houses that Patsy and Ed have graciously allowed to

be on tour in the past, you already know that this home will be decorated to perfection! You will be amazed at the variety of living spaces in this beautiful waterfront that offers incredible views from most rooms. It features a dream kitchen that is ideal for entertaining, and the master suite with its enormous bath is absolutely gorgeous. You should park on Sequoya rather than the curve on Kiowa Drive.

Five Homes Announced for Annual Christmas Tour of Homes

106 Bowie - Andrew BrownYou’ve admired the outside of this elegant home, appreciated the manicured

lawn that covers three and a half lots, and marveled at the six-car garage with drive-through motor home capacity. Now you finally have a chance to experience the inside of this dream home that features open living areas, a kitchen equipped for a gourmet chef, and an opulent master suite. This home truly exudes quality throughout and is a real “must see” on this year’s Home Tour.

149 Blackfoot Trail - Ann and Bob HoodEnjoy beautiful views of the lake from every room in this new-construction

home completed June 2006. The “oh wow” effect is awesome as you walk through the front door past the art gallery into the great room. The great room extends the entire length of the home and looks out over the spa style pool across to the lake. This contemporary home has stained concrete floors with hand-sawed scoring, huge see-through fireplace, state-of-the-art kitchen and is big enough to roller blade!

1000 Kiowa Drive West - Frieda and James Fiske Over the last year this 1980’s contemporary has morphed into a ranch

country style exterior with one large primary living area. There are large porches both in the front and the back of this house, and there’s a master suite downstairs that includes two bedrooms along with two unique closets. The golf course view at the rear of the house is stunning and there’s a great view of the lake from the front porch. The landscaping is completely new and will continue to be a work in progress for at least another year.

1125 Kiowa Drive East - Fran and Marvin Faulkenburry The Faulkenburry’s east side home sits on a beautiful corner lot with

interesting elevations and delightful details. Designed by Fran and Marvin to meet their casual lifestyle and eclectic tastes, this home was built in 2004 by their brother-in-law, James Sterry of Stonecrest Custom Homes. Look for the collection of old clocks displayed throughout the home and warm holiday decorations collected through the years.

The Mini Member Guest Tournament was a great success. With three flights and 80 players, the , two-man teams were very competitive. When the first round was finished, there were half of each flight within four shots of the best score. In the end the winners were paid $3,600 in gift certificates. There was also a players pool

that paid $1,600 to the Low Gross and the Low Net for each day. The weather was great, the food was good, competition was close, what more would you need for a GREAT tournament. Congratulations to all the winners.

Winners - MGA Play Day - Nov. 11

The MGA play day started off with the association’s general meeting, which was highlighted by three new members joining the group for the first time. Brown then explained the golf game of the day: 1-2-3 on 5-4-3. That relates to playing your own ball, with full handicap. Record one best score on par 5’s, two best scores on par 4’s and three best scores on par 3’s. Then you added the total scores and the top four teams were awarded the prize certificates. The top four scores were 112, 115, 116 and 120.

1st Place: Mark Anthony, Bob Bergbower, (not pictured) Walt Sprenger and Garland Brown.

2nd Place: Bob Boehm, David Shoudel, James Cicon and Alan Pace.

3rd Place: Jay Titus, Harold McFarling, Joe Brockette and Ronny Young (not pictured). Brown McCrory stands in for Ronny.

4th Place: Tom Hummel, Gary James, Rusty Clark, Greg Miserak, (not pictured) Steve Patterson.

Everybody had a great time, a wonderful way to meet new people and have fun. We encourage all members to join us during our next play day on Dec. 9.

BUT WAIT A MINUTE! Is that Brown McCrory pictured on the 3rd place team? If that’s the case, how come they didn’t win? Well, it seems as though Brown didn’t play and just filled in for Ronnie Young during the picture.

Remember to abide by the rules of the golf course, use sand to fill divots, fix the ball marks on the green, and hit your ball straight. See you on Saturday, Dec. 9.

22 CommuniQue December 2006 December 2006 CommuniQue 23WGA GOLF NEWS

Check your Christ-mas lights, plugs, outlets and extension cords. Don’t overload a circuit or start a fire with a frayed and damaged cord. Keep trees and flammable decorations a safe distance from open flame heaters, fireplaces, and wood stoves. Check children’s new toys for potential safety hazards. Buckle up and be careful on the road. Out-of-town travelers, drinking drivers, and weather conditions all pose special risks this time of the year.

Lake Kiowa Claims2006 Texoma WGA Trophy

The combined scores of Ruth Robinson, Sherley Riley, and Mary Ragan won the Texoma WGA Club Trophy at the 2006 Gold Tournament played at Lake Kiowa Nov. 8. Every year a different club hosts this Gold Tournament after a season of monthly competitions at the various clubs.

June Cloud, president, gave special

recognition and a gift certificate to Lodge manager,

Pat Greenlee. She has done so much to see that the WGA

meetings go smoothly. Thanks, Pat, we will miss you.

Barbara Cole thanked all of the volunteers who helped with the Rally. We sent $50,315.42 to the Susan G. Komen foundation this year, making us number one in Texas and sixth in the nation. Chuck Essex purchased the winning team in the Calcutta, and donated a portion of his winnings back for next year’s Rally.

A change to the Constitution was read, and will be voted on in December. The change states: WGA play day scramble and business meeting will be held on the second play day of any month when a holiday or special event occurs on the first Wednesday. This will allow our regular WGA meeting to be held on the second Wednesday in October, since

the Rally For A Cure® is on the first Wednesday.

New officers were elected for next year: President: Yolanda Arronte; Vice-President: Audrene Robison; Secretary: Sue Sprenger; Treasurer: Mary Polk; Reporter: Madonna Baker; Golf Chairman: 18 hole Co-Chairs: Corina Nichols and Judy Penland; 9 hole Co-Chairs: Genny Koziol and Paulette Andrews; Past President: June Cloud.

The Chili Lunch for workers will be held on Dec. 4. Elaine Blackwell, Anita Mason, Ruth Lewis and Maxine Lane are in charge.

Scramble winners were:1st Gross: 72 - Margie Nash, Linda

Stroup, Regina Carnley, Audrene Robison, Carol Gilmore

Pro’s Rule of the Month: Decision 13-4/7

Q: A player’s ball lies in casual water in a bunker. The player elects to play his ball as it lies and touches the casual water with his club when addressing the ball. The player’s club does not touch

the sand in the bunker except in making the stroke. What is the ruling?

A: The player incurs no penalty as he did not touch the ground in the bunker with his club prior to making his stroke — see Rule 13-4b.

Everyday maintenance on the golf course is starting to slow down, now that fall and/or winter has arrived. Tournament season is about over. However, there is still one tournament left, the Chili Workers Tournament. All of you that have helped on the golf course, working or supplying refreshments to the workers, are invited to play in the tournament on Dec. 4.

The weather is changing and there may be some days with frost delays. If we are on hold with a frost delay, this does not mean that the putting green can be used. The entire course is closed until we open it for play.

We want to remind everyone that we will be on cart paths only from Jan. 2 to Feb. 26, 2007 and please repair your ball marks.

Everyone, please have a safe and enjoyable holiday season and remember our soldiers that are protecting our freedoms.

David LongDID YOU KNOW . . . There have been a number of questions raised on the Hole Handicapping. The

Handicap Committee has posted the results of the 400 Score Cards from both the

Men and the Women on the Bulletin Board in the Pro Shop.

Two hundred scores were collected from the Low Handicap members as well

as the High Handicap members. Then they were averaged. The hole with the

largest average difference is considered the hardest hole and the hole with the

least difference is considered the easiest hole.

The odd-numbered holes are on the front nine and the even-numbered holes

are on the back nine as recommended by the USGA. Also, it is recommended

that the hardest hole on either nine should not be the first or the last hole.

Handicap Committee

#16 Fairway receives increased irrigation coverage with newly installed sprinkler heads. Greater coverage and increased flow of water has enabled more efficient use of the system. It has reduced the numbers of hours per week needed to keep our golf course green.

HAVE YOUR TREES TRIMMED BY AN ARBORIST THIS YEAR.

This year if you need trimming, tree planting, removals or anything else that has to do with tree work, why not call a professional? I can tell you what trees are immune to the diseases actively working in Kiowa right now or let you know if trimming is a bad idea because of contagious diseases in your area. Also, be sure and call me to remove any dead trees on your property. They didn’t kill themselves and they can spread what killed them quickly if not removed properly. I clean my chainsaws between trees, and paint large cuts to minimize exposure to disease. Also, just having me walk your property can help you tremendously. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you.

Public Relations:A thank you note from Barbara Cole

regarding the MGA support of the “Rally For A Cure” was received and read. Comments from members relating to improved participation on Saturday play days continue to be received and tabulated.

Projects:Jim Williams, Projects Chairman

reported there have been sand bottles placed at the range and more will be put out in new racks on #9 fairway. Over 24 truckloads of dirt from low water crossing 2 have been spread on the left rough of #6 and additional loads will be placed next week. After all the dirt

is dumped the area will be tilled and planted.

Old Business:David Long provided an updated

diagram of driving range improvements and cost estimates for remaining work excluding the tree farm. The board approved $3,600 to be committed for the range. David apologized for the

greens being tined and sanded just prior the Mini-Member Guest tournament last month and noted this work is done by an outside contractor and needs to be accomplished before a frost. Next year the tine process will be scheduled for Oct. 26.

New Business:The presentation done by Joe

Brockette last month on the irrigation system will be made to the board at their open meeting on Nov. 20 and all MGA members are encouraged to attend.

The next MGA board meeting will be Dec. 6 and our play day will be Dec. 9.

The meeting was adjourned at 9:40 a.m.

Respectfully submitted by Jack Thies.

Lake Kiowa Fishing LimitsHere are the recommendations made by Bob Lusk, Fisheries Biologist and Lake

Management Consultant, for the year 2005 Fishing Limits. These recommendations have been given careful consideration to keep a thriving ecological habitat for Lake Kiowa. The Angler and Conservation Club has fully endorsed the following fishing guidelines for Lake Kiowa:Rainbow Trout: 5 Per Day, Per PersonBlack Bass: Keep Black Bass between 10-13 inches; 5 Per Day, Per Person. Release all other Black Bass under 10 inches and over 14 inches.Crappie: Keep over 10 inches; 10 Per Day, Per Person. Release all under 10 inches.White Bass: Otherwise known as Sand Bass. No Limit. Remove all you can.Perch: No Limit.Channel Catfish: Keep fish over 14 inches; No Limit. Release all under 14 inches.Drum: No Limit. Remove any caught from lake.Carp: No Limit. Remove any caught from lake.

TROT AND JUG LINES ARE NOT PERMITTEDDock owners are encouraged to provide cover for the fish under your docks. Make

sure the trees are securely anchored not to interfere with boat traffic. Feed the fish! Dry dog food or pellets especially made for the fish are readily available at feed stores. For questions, feel free to contact George Davis or Mike Merolla for specifics.

Christmas time is fast approaching as well as the New Year. The LKACC would like to wish all Lake Kiowa residents, full time as well as weekenders, a safe and Happy Holidays.

In our article last month it stated that the LKACC’s 3rd Annual Christmas Party was to be held on Wednesday, Dec. 13. However, due to a scheduling conflict, the party has been rescheduled to Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. Please join the LKACC club at R. J.’s Branding Iron (located in the old Back Porch Cafe, across from the Exxon) for a night of wonderful food and a great time with your fellow Kiowans. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any LKACC Board member: Ken Hutchinson, 665-9275; Lou Vander Molen, 612-0603; Tony Morris, 665-6386; Leanne Eastep, 665-8436; or Mike Merolla, 641-1730.

Several Board members are coming to the end of their term and a nominating committee was appointed at the November meeting to submit nominations for new Board members. If you would be interested in serving as a LKACC Board member for a term of two years, please contact one of the members of this committee. The committee members are Ken

Hutchinson, Mike Merolla, Tony Morris, Lou Vander Molen, Bobby Andrews and Wayne Kyle. A motion was made at the November meeting to change the club meeting day from the second Wednesday of the month to the second Thursday of the month. This motion will be voted on at the January meeting. If any member has any objections to this motion, please attend the January meeting and make your objections known.

Our Web site is filled with lots of club information. Just log on to www.lakekiowatx.com to access LKACC’s 2006/2007 Schedule of Events, Bass Tournament results, membership forms, LKACC Lake Record Program Rules and much, much more.

Please consider becoming a member of the Lake Kiowa Angler and Conservation Club. A family membership is only $15. Your membership helps fund children’s events and special projects for improving the lake throughout the year. Some of these special projects that the Club provides are a day of fishing for the Gainesville Boys & Girls Club and the Muenster Special Skills Class. Other special projects include maintenance on public access piers, Little Fox Pond maintenance and improving fish habitat

as well as fish population in the lake. Your membership is a great help to us in providing these programs and opportunities for the children. If you would like for your family to become members, just visit the Lake Kiowa Web site and print out a membership

Declining lake levels helped bring a premature and inglorious end to the 2006 boating season a few months ago, but now it is time again to announce preparations for 2007. Beginning Jan. 1, the Security Department will be updating registrations on all currently-registered Lake Kiowa watercraft.

Members will need to appear at the Guardhouse to present their membership card and proof of liability insurance on the boat or Jet Ski in question. This can be done any time prior to the first time the watercraft is used on the lake. The application of the ‘08 decal will authorize the use of that watercraft on the lake for the next two years and here’s hoping that timely rainfalls will return our lake to full capacity.

Security Patrol, during this reporting period, performed 13 traffic stops, assisted seven motorists and checked the welfare of three residents. One unlocked door was discovered, five

auto accidents were investigated and response was indicated to a residence alarm and a business alarm. Five disturbing the peace complaints were received, three thefts were reported and a reckless driving complaint was checked out. Two mailboxes were apparently vandalized. Security Patrol responded to two different urgent calls of an intruder in the house, but in each incident the report was found to be unfounded. Cooke County deputies assisted on one of the intruder calls.

Animal Control Officers attempted to corral 13 dogs, four cats and one cow.

Twenty-six varmints were trapped or chased. One citation was issued for a leash law violation. Security personnel received and monitored 30 LKVFD pages. Ambulances were escorted to Lake Kiowa residences on seven occasions.

Gary DavidsonChief of Security

Security Announces Boat RegistrationThe Security Department wishes to announce that members owning boats or

personal watercraft will need to update their Lake Kiowa registrations beginning January 1, 2007. They can do this by appearing at the Guardhouse and presenting their membership cards and proof of current liability insurance covering the watercraft in question. This will make them eligible to receive an ‘08 decal which when applied to a boat or jet ski will authorize its use on Lake Kiowa for the next two years.

Members wishing to register new watercraft will be required, as always, to present proof of ownership in addition to their membership cards and proof of liability insurance. First-time registrants will need to complete the Lake Kiowa Boating Safety Course which can be picked up at the Guardhouse.

LAKE KIOWA SECURITY REPORTOctober 12 - November 14, 2006

Did You Know...The POA has a temporary shelter for misplaced pets. If you lose a pet or find a

pet, you may contact Becca at the POA, 665-1055, ext. 32. Of course, Security is always good about keeping an eye out - they can be reached at 665-3221. Don’t forget - our Web site has Lost and Found in the Green Sheets (which can also be used for more than pets). It is easy to check and to post. As a gentle reminder, you should not let or leave a small pet out at night unattended - we have coyotes for feral neighbors.

Golf Course Trees Hard Hit By Freak Windstorm

A violent windstorm uprooted some trees and damaged many of them on the north end of Lake Kiowa with some property damage on Blackfoot and Kiowa Drive East. Although all of Lake Kiowa experienced high winds throughout the day, the extensive damage was mostly confined to this area during a brief and intense burst of wind.

The pictures above are taken at the #4-5-9 Rest Area on the golf course. Tree trimmers were kept busy removing and chipping the debris.

The policy and purpose of this publication is to inform all residents of events and activities within our community, to report on actions and deci-sions made by our Lake Kiowa Property Owners Association Board of Directors, and to publish the results of those decisions. Information is important for everyone to know that problems are being worked on and remedies are being sought.

The following items will be accepted for publication: Events and infor-mation about Kiowa organizations that are open to all residents; events in our surrounding communities when Kiowa residents may be involved in them; and Items of a personal nature that reflect on the generous char-acter of our residents or a milestone in their lives.

A Letter to the Editor should be less than 350 words in length and will be accepted if it presents a thoughtful and constructive view to an issue that may be controversial within our community. It may be reviewed and verified for factual accuracy by the appropriate authority. The factual clarification will be published along with the letter.
