Page 6 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] AUG 2019 Woody Napier A simple man, my husband, my friend, a dad, papaw and a great grand papaw. July 13, 2019, late afternoon, Woody left this life to take a new journey, we will miss him and try to go forward and remember all the wonderful times we had together; we the family and friends will cherish our memories. Woody was born to Charlie and Emma Napier in Hazard, KY. Woody and his twin brother Alonzo were very curious, and demanded a lot of attention from mom, dad, big brother and three doting sisters. They grew to help in the garden, ride the farm horse “Old Tony”. Onto teen years and young men, Woody joined the Army in 1955, when he came home on leave the next year, we met and the rest is history. We are blessed with 4 children, 6 grand children and 9 great grandchildren. Woody worked hard to provide for his family, while passing on lots of wisdom for us to live by. Soon he realized his love of travel and looked forward to yearly vacations with family and friends, new places and new adventures. One of the most important moves we made was to Heritage Lake on April 6, 2000. We thought we were coming here to retire and take it easy, fish, boat a little and sleep in once in a while. Well it was a new adventure and a wonderful life full of new friends and new job full of fun and hard work; just what we needed. We grew to love Heritage Lake and all the hard-working volunteers who live here and take care of this wonderful neighborhood. So, say goodbye to Woody and remember his sweet smile and cherish our time with him. The Napier Family

Directors Present: J. Duane Kelly Chris Schubert and Jerry D. Wood Also attending: Kathy Deer, Administrative and Financial Manager; Doug Clodfelter, Plant Operator and Operations Manager; Jim Hazelwood, Harold Paetow, Tom Novak, and 1 other guest. Jerry Wood moved to approve the minutes of the June meeting. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer reviewed the financial report for the month ending June 30, 2019. Chris Schubert moved to approve the finan- cial report and Register of Claims, June 21 through July 18, 2019. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer provided a written report. The Emergency Action Plan was distributed. The changeover to Payment Service Network has been completed. Customers can call 877-885-7968 to make credit card payments over the phone now. The spring tax draw of $110,865.51 was received June 24. Of that, $49,322.52 was for the Cumulative Improvement Fund, $52,836.81 was for the General Fund, and $8.706.18 was for lien payments. There are 1,437 account locations, with 3 homes added to the billing system – VH128, JV087, and PL057. Michael has a list of 16 homes under construction or soon to be connected. The June/July sewer bills were mailed July 9 with payment due August 15. No work orders were generated for Inflow/Infiltration inspections due to deed transfers in June. Twenty-seven lien releases have been prepared for signature and filing due to the spring tax distribu- tion. Lien 2017001875 was added to the property tax system with an incorrect amount by the Putnam County Auditor’s of- fice, leaving a balance of $69.60 owed on the lien. The property has transferred owners. Jerry Wood moved to write off the $69.60 and release the lien. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. James Carrell of GB001 has expressed interest in purchasing a portion of GB002, a lot the district acquired because the lift station and generator along the road frontage of the lot make it unsuitable for a home. A portion of the lot is mowed by the district but is not needed for district operations. After discussion, Chris Schubert moved to abandon up to 2/3 of the lot at 2 Gettysburg at a price not less than the actual percentage sold times $4,800, with the buyer(s) to pay all survey and closing costs. The partial lot will be offered to all adjacent landowners. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. The board reviewed the proposed 2020 budget showing $912,106 in expenses, a $92,317 General Fund tax levy, and maintain- ing the sewer access fees at $29 per month. The Cumulative Improvement tax rate of $.0323 will be requested. The budget hearing will be held August 15, 2019 at the regular meeting at 10 am and the budget adoption will be held September 19, 2019 at the regular meeting at 10 am. Details about the proposed budget will be available at www.in.gov/dlgf through Gateway. Doug Clodfelter provided a written report. Matt Collom did a sewer connection for JV087 where the connection point was in the JV088 gravel drive and a lot deeper than the as-built plans showed. Thedistrict paid for the dirt work and back fill on JV088. Michael has four more lift stations changed to Crystal Ball RTUs and has picked up 19 more, which is all of them to be completed. Michael has one side of the control panel for LS G4 converted to VFD and is now waiting for BBC Pump to replace the rails and pumps. This will probably be done in August. The transfer switch in the generator at LS M6 would not work property. MacAllister did some resets and it started working. The Head Works fine screen sonic head went bad. Michael ordered one from USA Bluebook and replaced it. Mark Stevenson hauled and knifed in 93,000 gallons of sludge in the district’s 8-acre field on June 27. This was too late in the year to plant anything, but Jim Greeson has mown the weeds. A draft NPDES permit good for 5 years has been received. There were not any changes in monitoring requirements or limits and the final permit should be received soon. The eXmark mower is 6 years old in August and has 1400 hours on it. Doug reviewed a couple options for replacing the mower. Chris Schubert moved to authorize the purchase of a new eXmark with Kohler engine at a price of $12,799, and to sell or trade in the old eXmark for $4,000. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Doug provided copies of the inspection summary/noncompliance letter from the July 11, 2019 IDEM inspection of the sewer facilities. Compliance was rated as unsatisfactory due to the facility experiencing inflow and infiltration in the collection system which hydraulically overloads the wastewater treatment plant. The plant has an average of 63% over the rated capacity for January to May 2019. The recommendations are to consider adding wet weather storage, increasing rating capacity, and/or collection system improvement projects to address the hydraulic overloading conditions at the plant. Since Doug must respond to the letter within 30 days, he requested the board move to hire an engineer to start studying the best solution to deal with the wet weather flow. Jerry Wood moved to authorize Doug request a proposal for an engineering study from Curry & Associates. Curry & Associ- ates has done other projects on the treatment plant and has all the plans on hand. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. The next regular meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, August 15, 2019, at the district’s office.

If you haven’t used it yet, walk over to the Clubhouse Playground Area and swing on the new glider that Garden Club purchased with money from our fund-raisers. Ruth Everts taught the lesson titled: “Gardening Mistakes.” Her advice: don’t plant too early; pick the right spot; check the depth to plant; be sure to prepare the soil properly; don’t over OR under water; never use pesti- cides; only plant as much as you are able to care for; mulch where needed to keep moisture in.

WIPER FLUID: 1 gallon distilled water; 1 cup 99% rubbing alcohol; 1 tablespoon castile soap If an overnight freeze is possible where you live, leave a small amount out overnight to test if it freezes. A higher proportion of alcohol will lower the freezing point. ALSO Remember the following catch phrase to keep flushable and disposable materials out of the sewer system. The three “Ps” – Pee, Poop and Paper (toilet paper) – is all that should be flushed down the toilet. Nothing else goes in there.

Questions Call Nancy Schuch (317) 459-8232 Get Your Ducks in a Row! Informative and fun Workshop On August 21st, Hunter Estate & Elder Law will be at Heritage Lake to give an informative and fun workshop called “Get Your Ducks in a Row!” There are common questions in estate planning and elder law – like, what is the difference between a Will and a Trust? Do I need a Trust? What is probate? How can I protect myself against rising long-term care costs? By attending this workshop, you will learn the answers to all these questions (and much more!). The workshop will be held at Noon and again at 5 p.m. with each session lasting 1 hour. Both will be held in the Meeting Room at the POA Office Building. The presenter, Jennifer Rozelle, is an estate planning and elder law attorney, spent many of her most memorable years living in Mill Springs, is a North Putnam alumni, and is a current Heritage Lake property owner. She looks “All politics is local” is a much heard quote. While many of us profess to nonpolitical, local politics affect our daily lives both directly and indirectly. Among local political issues affecting us are: road maintenance and regula- tion, building and land use regulations, lake quality and recreational regulations, schools and library, police and fire coverage, and local taxes. Here at HL we have a Government Cmte whose goal it is to speak as an organized voice when addressing elected and appointed officials and agencies to both improve the image of our communi- ty and to make our issues known. HL is a population center in Putnam County that is second in size only to Greencastle. We can and should have an influence within the County on issues that affect the welfare of our community, and we can best advocate for ourselves by doing so in an organized, positive and respectful manner. Please join us at the next scheduled monthly meeting of the Government Committee scheduled for Thursday, August 22,at 10:00 am at the Heritage Lake Clubhouse. If you have questions please contact Steve Forsgren, 916-337-8591.

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] AUG 2019 Page 13 FOOD FOR THOUGHT: THE QUESTIONS PROJECT THE QUESTIONS PROJECT: How can we know that God actually exists? If we started with information that already assumes there is a God (i.e. religious texts) we’d quickly find ourselves in a circular argument. Although, ultimately we end up there for details. But we really need to start somewhere else. Let’s start with what we can observe. Science has opened up an amazing vista of the universe for us. We have peered into the expanse of galaxies, and even gazed on the birth of stars. Thanks to advanced physics and space telescopes, we’ve wrestled with dimensions and numbers of heavenly bodies that defy human comprehension. We have also looked inward, we have found the human brain has more neurons than there are stars in the heavens. The genetic strands by which the simplest cell is composed contain specific information more precise than the most complicated computer program. What’s more, the microscopic “factories” that replicate this complex information are even self-powering! How did we even discover these things? Science relies on constant laws and systems. Under given conditions, the same result will occur every time. If you follow the laws of optics, we can build a space telescope. By observing those laws, we can focus on a cosmic object, and determine its distance and size. Merriam-Webster’s definition for “DESIGN” is: the arrangement of elements or details in a product or work. It’s an indisputable observa- tion: the universe works. It has for a long time! Astronomy understands it as multiple interdependent systems. The idea of all the particles and parts of the universe organizing themselves into systems wouldn’t be a big deal if we hadn’t discovered another law of the universe called, “entropy.” Quantum physicists like to talk about it as energy dissipated in a closed system. But for us regular folks, it really plays out in the simple fact that everything tends to flow from order to disorder. Just don’t clean your house for a month and see what happens. Entropy is a physical truth of the universe, and yet something drives the universe from disorder to order. The greatest reality that flies in the face of entropy is life. Nothing is a more ordered system of systems than life. Even the simplest cell is a miniature factory. Like your TV or car, all parts have to be working or it doesn’t work at all. So for life to exist; not only must there be working systems, they must all come into existence at the same time. Whether we are talking about constellations or human bodies, we are talking about functioning systems. Functioning systems are by definition, the product of design. That raises an assertion that just won’t go away. If there is a design, there must be a designer. Design also implies others things like intentionality and purpose. We can be sure that whoever designed the first mouse trap definitely had a purpose in mind. One final step in this path of reason. Every creation is created by a designer greater than itself. Whether it’s a mouse trap or the entire universe. The creator is greater, or “transcends” the thing they created. What do we call a creative entity that transcends all of reality? We can use any label of our choosing, but the term, “God” certainly sounds appropriate. Granted, this is only one line of reasoning that points to a Creator. The truth is, it only takes us as far as this: such an entity actually exists. But just the fact that there is a solid line of reasoning that leads to this conclusion should compel us to seriously search. After all, if everything was designed on purpose and for a purpose, could there be a more fundamental mystery worth exploring?
