Page 6 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] APRIL 2019 Hello Fellow Heritage Lake Friends and Neighbors, If you‟re not already aware, I‟d like to inform you of the campaign that‟s about to begin to change our Covenants. This is something that we‟ve attempted several times in the past, but have been unsuccessful because we‟ve not previously been able to obtain the number of “Yes” votes to make the proposed changes. We‟ve also not previously received enough “No” votes to fail the proposed changes. The previous attempts have failed because we‟ve not been able to obtain the required number of “Yes” or “No” ballots back from the membership. The power to dictate whether Covenant changes can be made has been with the non-voting members of the community! Those who have voted have essentially been stripped of the power of their votes. Are you aware that only members of the community have the power to change the Covenants, through a community vote? The Board has NO power to change the Covenants and will not have that power in the future. The power is ALL YOURS!!!! You will see a lot of information around the details of what‟s being proposed, along with instructions on how to vote this year. Our drive is to make sure that members of this community understand the issues on the table, the impact of passing or failing this campaign, and we will be pushing hard to make sure that people vote. We want you to have all of the information you need to make an informed choice when you cast your ballot. There will be opportunities for people to ask the Board any questions you may have around the Covenant Changes after every Board Meeting (second Monday of every month) and Operations Meeting (last Monday of every month). Additionally, you can ask us questions wherever you see us….at the Marina, Clubhouse, Community Events, on Social Media, at meetings…. we are here to help!!! We want you to know and understand what‟s being voted upon. The information around the ballot will be available on the Website, YouTube, here in the Highlights, and any member of the Board would be happy to talk to you directly. More than anything, we want you to vote. I only ask that you meet us halfway and take advantage of your opportunities to understand the issues and ask questions if you have them, before you cast your vote. For the first time ever, we‟re enabling electronic voting capability to allow for ballots to be returned via text, email, fax, and through a new voting website. Each of these methods is secure and has been reviewed by our legal counsel. This is another effort to take advantage of methods that could improve our chances of obtaining the required number of ballots to officially pass or fail this campaign. We are trying hard to remove the reasons why people abstain from voting their lots. Please keep an eye out for the communications coming out around this campaign. Let‟s all take responsibility and vote for the direction and future of our community. Sincerely, Chris Schafer Neighborhood Watch “2019” GOLD BOWL CHILI COOKOFF RESULTS… What a GREAT turnout, THANKS to all who came to support the event, it was a GREAT time with GREAT people. There were a total of 10 crockpots, and we are hoping to add a few more next year. THANKS again to all the Neighborhood Watch captains and volunteers for all they did to help with the event and cleanup afterwards. “2019” GOLD BOWL went to Michelle Scott; 2nd Place Ken Rozelle; 3rd Place Jeanette Newkirk

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] APRIL 2019 Page 7 CLEAR CREEK CONSERVANCY DISTRICT https://www.clearcreekdistrict.in.gov/ The Clear Creek Conservancy District board of directors met FEB. 28, 2019, at 10 a.m. at the district’s office. Directors Present: J. Duane Kelly, Chris Schubert, & Jerry D. Wood Also attending: Kathy Deer, Administrative and Financial Manager; Doug Clodfelter, Plant Operator and Operations Manager; Ken Rozelle, Heritage Lake POA Manager; Tom Novak, William Goupell, and Harold Paetow. Jerry Wood moved to approve the minutes of the Jan. 17 and February 1 meetings. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer reviewed the financial report for the month ending January 31, 2019. Chris Schubert moved to approve the financial report and Register of Claims, January 18 through February 28, 2019. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer provided a written report. The annual reports have been completed on the State Board of Accounts Gateway. The board reviewed the proposed response for information to be included in the Emergency Action Plan for the dam that Banning Engineering is prepar- ing. PNC Merchant Services and Authorize.net charges will be reviewed again at budget time to consider whether the fee for when a credit card is used to pay sewer access fees should be increased. The shortfall for Dec/Jan was $38.93. The old RTV has to be titled since it was sold and the title work and registration for the new RTV has been submitted. There are 1,425 account locations with 5 homes added to the billing system – PL064, LH108, PL093, JV095 and GB452. The Dec/Jan sewer access fees were due March 15. Late fees of $1,582.91 were added to 278 accounts. No work orders were generated for I/I inspections due to deed transfers in January. Doug provided a written report. In December, Mark Stevenson hauled and knifed in 130,000 gal. of sludge in the district‟s 8-acre field and 245,000 gal. of sludge in Jim Greeson‟s field. On 2/25/19, Alpha-Liberty performed the annual calibration on the laboratory scales. The snow guard/stop for the metal roofs at the treatment plant will cost $878.17. Buildmore, Inc. has not yet completed the work. The new sewer camera trailer was used to verify the sewer lateral at PL064. There are several sewer connections pending in Mill Springs where McCullough will be locating the deep sewer lateral connection and raising it for the lot owner‟s contractor to complete the connection. MacAllister performed a Level 1 inspection on all the generators. Michael replaced a start capacitor at LS G4 and a motor started at LS V1. A 2” schedule 80 connection join blew apart in the wet well near pump #2 in LS G2. BBC Pump will be making a repair. Don and Michael had to pull a pump and clean the rages out of LS G5. The next day Michael and Doug pulled a pump full of rags from LS P2 and replaced the pump with the Hydromatic chopper pump BBC had brought back. On Tuesday, March 5, Dave Dunnuck is scheduled to meet with Doug to discuss the worn parts they replaced in that pump. Doug provided a copy of “The Cost of Flushing „FLUSHABLES‟” and Duane Kelly reported he had given a report based on that information along with pictures of rags in the pumps at the recent annual POA meeting where 30 to 40 people were present. Discussion of the difficulties in reaching customers to educate them about the damage “flushable” wipes are causing to the sewer collection system pumps, the need for homeowners to have backflow prevention devices installed and maintained on a sewer system relying heavily on electric power and mechanical systems, and insurance coverage homeowners should have in place should a backup occur – that is, until it happens to them. District personnel can provide facts to homeowners if assistance is requested, especially for new homeowners unaware of whether their home has a backflow prevention device or adequate outside cleanout setup. The district does not require older homes that do not have an outside cleanout to add one, but it is highly recommended every home have an outside cleanout. Doug explained that a loose cap or special “release” cap on the outside cleanout will allow sewage to flow in the yard causing way less damage than having a backup into a house. All newer homes are required to have an outside cleanout under current code. It was noted that the “Sewer Care Brochure” on the district‟s website covers some of these topics. Tom Novak plans to prepare an article for the Heritage Highlights in the near future. The Clear Creek Conservancy District board of directors met MARCH 21, 2019, at 10 a.m. at the district’s office. Directors Present: J. Duane Kelly, Chris Schubert & Jerry D. Wood Also attending: Kathy Deer, Administrative and Financial Manager; Doug Clodfelter, Plant Operator and Operations Manager; Jim Hazelwood, William Goupell, and Harold Paetow. Jerry Wood moved to approve the minutes of the February 28 meeting. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer reviewed the financial report for the month ending February 28, 2019. Chris Schubert moved to approve the financial report and Register of Claims, February 28 through March 21, 2019. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer provided a written report. There was no update on progress for the emergency action plan for the dam. The title and registration have been received for the 2018 RTV. The BMV returned the paperwork for the 2004 RTV not recognizing that the payment form was included for an electronic check instead of a credit card. After contacting the BMV, they agreed the paperwork was correct and requested I mail the packet back to them for processing. North Salem WWTP was billed $300 on March 4 for services to set a pump. The invoice has already been paid. There are 1,426 account locations with 1 home added to the billing system – JV102. The February/March sewer access fee bills were mailed March 7 and are due April 15, 2019. Amy Tharp requested the late fee of $5.80 be waived on her Dec/Jan sewer billing since the payment mailed February 6 was damaged in the mail but received March 2 in a USPS protective envelope. Chris Schubert moved to waive the late fee on this account. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Two new work orders were generated for Inflow/Infiltration inspections due to deed transfers in February – JV525 and PL147. Doug was unable to attend. He is attending class for continuing education credits required to maintain his operator‟s license. The next regular meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, April 18, 2019, at the district‟s office.

Page 8 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] APRIL 2019 Heritage Heartland Homemakers by Marianne Novak HHH met on March 19, 2019, and enjoyed a delicious lunch of several salads, bread choices, and more desserts than we needed thanks to Bev Spires and Donna McGinley. Besides looking ahead to spring/summer activities, we spent most of the meeting recapping the successful Spring District Meeting on March 15, 2019, at the Putnam County Museum. The event began the night before with a progressive dinner for the State Officers, hosted by Appetizers (Marianne Novak); Entrée (Mary Ellen Deegan & Mary Pertruzzi); and dessert (Penny Steur). The chauffeur for the venue was Meegan Ebacher. The next day, the over 100 Homemakers who attended were fed breakfast prepared by Bev and Sue Hoff (servers included Mary Ellen, Mary, Penny, and Marianne). Penny made decorations/table door prizes & placed them at the tables. Ethel Stafford, Pam Miller, and Marianne Novak registered all Homemakers & supplied them w/raffle tickets & PC Museum scavenger hunt sheets along w/pens donated by North Salem Bank. Meegan introduced our guest, John Hathaway, Guidance Counselor at Putnam County Middle School, who thanked members for their generous donation of toiletries for PCMS students. Everyone enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by Myer’s Market. After the afternoon session & everyone left, Lisa Mock, Putnam County Mu- seum, who provided the amazing museum for our meeting, helped Mary Ellen, Meegan, and Marianne to clean up. The Homemakers‟ next meeting will be on April 16 at 11:30 A.M. Meegan Ebacher and Mary Petruzzi are the hostesses. For more information about Homemakers, call either Mary Ellen Deegan at 317/846-2979 or Bev Spires at 765/246-6558. Heritage Lake Book Club by Marianne Novak In March we stepped through the doors of Tranquillum House in Sydney, Australia, to the boutique health/wellness resort for a life-changing experience. There we met the main characters of Liane Moriarty‟s Nine Perfect Strangers. How we described this resort experience…gratifying, transformative, enlightening, bizarre, derailed. The idea for this novel came from Moriarty‟s fascination with the wellness industry in Australia which is growing by leaps and bounds! If you enjoy comedic satire, you will enjoy this book. Question: Is Frances Welty really supposed to be Liane Moriarty? We rated the book 3.6. April 10 In the Midst of Winter by Lisa Allende May 8 Where the Crawdads Sing by Deliah Owens If you‟d like to come join us, call Marianne Novak at 386-2077. Heritage Lake Garden Club by Marianne Novak Our first garden club of the 2019 season began with lots of “catch up on each other‟s news.” After recapping our Wreath Fund-raiser, we dove into new ideas for the year. Our main pursuit will be pollinator gardens here at the lake. Excitement was in the air since March 14 was the first time we held two garden club meetings for the month (one at 9 A.M. and the other at 7 P.M.). But the real “buzz” came next when Anita Johnson told us all we needed to know about encouraging Mason Bees in our gardens. They are among the 91% of solitary bees that live in reed tubes, yet do not produce honey…and they are great pollinators! Pollen collects on their underbodies and while they flit around looking for food, they leave pollen on flowers and trees. About 400 Mason Bees live in a hive. If you want to know more, check out crown- bees.com and sign up for beemail! Join us on April 11 at 9 A.M. or 7 P.M. – Linda Lawler is the hostess & will give the lesson on container gardens: Fillers, Spillers, and Thrillers.” For more information, contact Linda Lawler at [email protected]

Page 10 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] APRIL 2019 FOOD FOR THOUGHT: HATE SPEECH With the New Zealand mosque shooting, fueled by the killer’s manifesto, the issue of “hate speech” is in the limelight again. This mourning nation has handled the tragedy in a proper and delicate manner. They are striving to prevent any such crime from ever happening again. Their strategy prevention involves a balancing act with laws against “hate speech.” I think we can all appreciate that the real problem is not the words, but the hearts that produce them. To limit hate speech is an effort to keep the infection from spreading. We get that. It is wrong to incite hatred against individuals. The sticky point is, individuals are tied to life-practices, world views, and personal sets of values. These are all choices; choices that can lead to death, in this life and the next. Choices become social norms, and the wrong norms can lead to toxic and evil societies. The Gospel of Christ in a nutshell, hates the lethal choices. It warns against them, and offers another way, for the individual and for the culture. There are choices we must embrace, and others we should hate. For life to flourish, there must be a place for hate. It’s just a question of what we are hating. There is a time to speak out, and warn. So by a certain definition, there must be a place for “hate speech.” However, humanity doesn’t have a very good track record at limiting “hate speech.” A case in point is the Easter account. Christ was executed as much for the warning of what He hated, as for what He loved. He spoke against religion. Not that He spoke against Judaism, but He hated what the system had become. Here is one of the greatest “hate speeches” of all time, in summary: But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. …“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and … have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. …Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! …“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. (Matthew 23:13-28) Jesus hated the empty façade that religion had become (yet again). He hated the loss of God’s true message, and real essence. He hated how it was costing the life and after-life of its followers. They had abandoned authenticity, and this indictment was the basis for His execution. Pretend religion, even with the most clever alterations, is fatally misleading. Christ promised eternal life, but a real empty tomb only comes after a real cross is carried, which is the product of the real path God opens for one’s life. This Easter Sunday our church won’t include “hate speech” though, it will be love for the authentic. However, if we are to have a hate manifesto, let it be this: We hate falsehood in any form. We hate the death and crippling it brings. May what we hate be overshadowed by the real Christ, the real cross, and the real resurrection. Anyway, it’s certainly food for thought.
