Page 6 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] JUNE 2019 Hello fellow HLPOA Members, When this community was founded back in the 70’s, it was easy to gather the entire membership for meetings and voting events. The number of members was much smaller, the technology for communi- cating wasn’t what it is today, so people got out and talked directly to each other a lot more and went to meetings to hear what was going on. It was far easier to gain consensus on matters before us, because we could achieve a quorum in a meeting to help us decide. We could vote on issues live and in person. The size of our community and the diversity of our members no longer supports that, as many folks are here only on the weekends or the summer season, and some never come here at all!! It’s difficult to know their perspective or what they want out of this community, even though they are POA members. Today’s world is much different than what it was when our community was founded. We have the internet, live streaming, social media, and cell phones that make information immediately available when we want it wherever we are. We don’t have to chase it down like we used to; we can find or view just about anything right from our phones. Our POA Board meetings are recorded on YouTube for all to watch at your conven- ience (just launch YouTube and search for “Heritage Lake POA”). Technology has expanded our ability to share information and communicate. In some ways, though, it’s made it more difficult to communicate because we are forced to communicate the same information in many different ways in order to reach everyone. People can actively ignore information that they aren’t interested in or think doesn’t affect them, so it’s hard to tell if they ever got the message. The POA office and the Board tries to communicate to our members using the contact details that we’ve all provided. But phone numbers and email addresses change over time. What once was a valid email address of phone number may no longer be. If you’re not getting emails from the POA office, please contact them or stop in and make sure that your contact information on file is correct. Those email notifications include upcoming community events, notices around water treatments and lake closures, Committee and group events, and voting and survey opportunities. Don’t be left out! Make sure your contact information is current with the office. Lastly, if you’ve not yet voted in the 2019 POA Covenant change, please do so! If you’ve lost your ballot, you can pick up another one from the office or you can be sent a new one if you call them. It is important to vote your lots as soon as you’re able, because those who have not voted will be sent the ballot a second and third time, costing the POA time and money. If you are unsure as to what the issues are on the ballot, please reach out to any Board member who can answer your questions. Most of your questions are proba- bly answered on the Heritage Lake website (www.heritagelakepoa.com) under “Important Links” or under “Information>Documents”. The various Facebook pages are monitored and Board members respond to questions there, too. There is also time set aside after each Board meeting and Operations meeting to answer questions and have discussions around the Covenants. Members of the Board are also working to be available at the Marina and public events, so feel free to walk up to us and ask us any questions you may have. We are here to help. This vote is important for the future of our community, and we want to help you make an informed decision. PLEASE VOTE!!!! Now that the busy season is upon us, enjoy the upcoming months with family, friends, and neighbors who come to visit this great community. Please do so safely and watch out for each other. There will be lots of great events and opportunities for all of us to come together and enjoy the summer. Thank you to all the POA Staff, Committees, and Volunteers who make our community great. Thank you friends and neighbors, for being part of the best lake community in Indiana! Chris Schafer President, HLPOA Board of Directors

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] JUNE 2019 Page 7 CLEAR CREEK CONSERVANCY DISTRICT https://www.clearcreekdistrict.in.gov/ The Clear Creek Conservancy District board of directors met MAY 16, 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, Harold Paetow; Tom Novak and Ken Rozelle, Heritage Lake POA Manager. Jerry Wood moved to approve the minutes of the April meeting. Chris Schubert seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer reviewed the financial report for the month ending April 30, 2019. Chris Schubert moved to approve the financial report and Register of Claims, April 19 through May 16, 2019. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Chris Schubert moved to authorize Kathy Deer enter into an agreement with Payment Service Network (PSN), Inc. for the dis- trict’s credit card processing for payments made online. Ampstun had notified the district that as of the end of June, they will no longer be able to work with Authorize.net. Two vendors currently do the credit card processing – Authorize.net provides the online gateway and PNC Merchant Services processes the credit cards. PSN will provide the gateway and processing. Under their partnership with Ampstun, they charge the customer for the credit card fees directly instead of being paid by the district each month. The current flat rate fee of $3.00 will no longer be charged. For a $58.00 sewer bill, the customer will pay the credit card fee of $2.46. A person paying a late bill of $121.80 will pay $3.59. The district will only be billed the monthly gateway fee of $14.95 and the annual security fee of $89.00. There will be a $99.00 one-time setup fee. The board did not wish to utilize the bank electronic check service at a cost of $.50 per check. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer provided a written report. Kathy and Doug are meeting with Joe Miller to review the draft Emergency Action Plan for the dam and then Doug and Joe will be working on the permit to place concrete along the stream to prevent further erosion. Duane Kelly and Kathy Deer met with Ken Rozelle to discuss the revision of the plat of Patriot’s Landing 238 which was sur- veyed to points along the shoreline. The surveyor would not certify that all points on his survey made while the lake was down in November, 2018 were above the 827.0 elevation and no official legal determination has been made whether the Proprietor’s Certificate in the original plat grants fee simple interest in the property along the shoreline on waterfront lots. Without hiring attorneys to research the issue at substantial cost to either the Heritage Lake POA or the Clear Creek Conservancy District, the issue will not be pursued at this time. There are 1,430 account locations with 3 homes connected: GB426, VH145, and MS622. The April/May sewer access fee bills were mailed May 9, due June 15. No work orders were generated for Inflow/ Infiltration inspections due to deed transfer in April. There were 30 liens filed April 19. . Doug Clodfelter provided a written report. Mill Springs 622 was a deep sewer connection where McCullough Excavating was paid to bring the connection point up to 4 – 6 ft. deep. The locator for the sewer camera would not work while trying to use it at 461 Mill Springs to find out why the sewer was draining slow and backing up into his tub. After attempting to repair the locator, a locator from UMAC was used to find the problem at no charge. A new Subsite locator was purchased at a cost of $2,460.00. McCullough Excavating made repairs to fix the sewer line. A roto rooter was borrowed to clear a blockage in the sewer line at 4 Jefferson Valley. There was no sewer line installed originally for JV003 and JV004 and a 6” sewer line was installed later but does not have manhole access to be able to run the sewer camera in the line. Should a new connection be added to that line, a manhole access will be installed at that time. The 6” force main at LS M3 had a small crack in the elbow which was allowing a sewage seep on the ground. McCullough Excavating also made repairs at this location. An air relief valve at LS P2 failed and will need to be replaced. It has been capped until replacement is made. There are two other air relief valves known to need replacement, one which has broken off and another that is dry. It is estimated there are at least 30 air relief valves and possibly more on the collection system. Further investigation will be made to determine replacement with PVC or metal, estimated costs, and whether to plan to replace all of them. Duane Kelly reported that the board had received a ballot to vote for the covenant changes from the Heritage Lake POA for lots owned by the district in Gettysburg, not just the Gettysburg lot that the district has historically paid dues because of a lift station on the lot. The Heritage Lake POA is encouraging every lot owner to vote in this decision. Chris Schubert requested this issue be tabled. Jerry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. The next regular meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, June 20, 2019, at the district’s office.

Page 8 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] JUNE 2019 Heritage Heartland Homemakers by Marianne Novak HHH’s May Meeting began with smiles and laughter since roll call was telling a joke, and then guessing who is the girl in that High School Picture. For Citizenship Committee, Donna reported about Venezuela. This South American County has been plagued with coups, Presidential impeachment, and extreme poverty among most of the population. Even though Venezuela is the world’s largest oil exporter, the country is run by dictators and thugs and is in default. Much time was spent planning the up-coming Marina Breakfast on July 13, 2019, from 8-11 A.M. Plans were also made for the Putnam County Fair purse auction. Mem- bers are asked to bring “something that is yellow” to put into the purse at the June Meeting. After the meet- ing, Penny, Chair of the Kids Count Committee, asked for volunteers to cut out super-heros’ symbols for the Kids Count Camp. Ethel, Kathy, Mary Ellen, and Marianne Novak helped. The Homemakers’ next meeting will be on June at 11:30 A.M. Penny Steur is the hostess. For this meet- ing, remember to bring your wedding picture. For more information, call Bev Spires at 765/246-6558. Heritage Lake Book Club by Marianne Novak Our May Book Discussion was Where the Crawdads Sing by Deliah Owens. This debut novel is written in beautiful language that keeps the reader teary-eyed throughout the entire book. Kya tells her story in third person past tense as she brings nature to life in her detailed descriptions. We rated the book 3.8. June 12 Running on Red Dog Road by Drema Hall Berkheimer July 10 The Flying Circus by Susan Crandell If you’d like to come join us, call Marianne Novak at 386-2077. Heritage Lake Garden Club by Marianne Novak Nine of us gathered on May 8 at 9:30 A.M. for the monthly meeting. Rain didn’t stop the Lil’ Sprouts Flower Planting on May 4. Three children brought their parents/grandparents and planted a total of six flowers in pots that they donated. A big ―thank you‖ goes out to Bob and Helena Radez from Heritage Lake Garden Center who donated the flower pots/plants and set up tables for this event! Look for our Wildflower Garden at Lincoln Hills Park Field this spring. We are excited about this venture! In June, Garden Club Members will visit local HL gardens in the morning. Then hostesses Donna Wilson and Gloria Smith will host a pitch-in luncheon at Donna’s home. The next meeting will be on June 13, 2019, at 9:30 A.M. and at 7 P.M. For more information, contact Linda Lawler at [email protected].

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] JUNE 2019 Page 9 FOOD FOR THOUGHT: KIDS, DESIGN, AND LIFE IN GENERAL It’s not surprising that kids are on my mind. Our annual Heritage Lake Kids’ Character Camp is nearly upon us! With kids in mind, I was researching the greatest stressors for youth in our society today. Much of it dealt with the usual things like thunderstorms, sudden noises, and monsters under the bed. But there were significant trends as well. For example, Generation Z has reported the most mental health problems of any recent generation. One of the biggest stress- ors is fear over school shootings. (There’s something the previous generations never even imagined.) For younger kids, over-scheduling is a major upset, for many, there simply isn’t enough down time. Yet ironically, boredom is also a problem. Other prominent issues are stressed-out parents, bullying, and general chaos in life. If we look for a common denominator, it is: life slipping more and more outside the intended design. Let’s face it; when par- ents get into fist fights at their kids’ little league games, or a child is so bullied or socially ostracized that they bring a gun to school with the intent to take life- something in society is basically out of balance. To keep this in perspective, the extreme cases are relatively rare. That being said, they are too significant to be ignored. Per- haps even the best of us could use a little tweaking back to the intended design for healthy living. That’s the focus in Kids’ Character Camp this year; by looking at nature we can be reminded of the design. In the character modules we’ll be exploring some anchor points such as; truth, order, and balance. In the ten years we’ve been doing character camp on the lake, I am still amazed and inspired by how sharp our children are. It is amazing to watch the potential when nurtured with a little love and direction! Let me just say, if you have sent your kids to Kids’ Camp in the past; your kids are great! Thanks for sending them. In addition to the character module, there are a number of the usual great projects and games. This year we are also looking at design by teaching the older kids environmental robotics. We are fortunate to have Chris, our very own electrical engineer and theoretical physicist! (Don’t worry, he’s brilliant but kid-friendly.) We also have a master illusionist who will teach the younger kids some of the basic tricks of keeping some of the magic and mystery in life. It’s all meant to be a tweak to remember there is a design to healthy living. It’s in the creation all around us! ~Anyway, it is certainly food for thought.

Page 12 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] JUNE 2019 We have already had some tastes of spring with warmer temperatures and greening lawns. As we think about spring fertilizing and weed control, the Clean Water Team would like to remind our neighbors to think about the effects of lawn practices on our lake. Obviously fertilizers that may be carried into the lake can also nourish plant growth there. Although it can reasonably be argued that some aquatic growth such as cattails along some areas of shoreline can be beneficial for water purification, erosion control, and fish habitat, we surely do not want to nourish unwanted weed and algae growth that we then have to pay to try to control. To that end, the Clean Water Team encourages all of our neighbors to limit fertilizer use to no more than necessary. The closer such use is to the lakeshore or inlets, the more important such restraint can be. At the very least, use only phosphorous-free fertilizers, i.e. those with a middle number of 0. Such products are available locally for your convenience at Heritage Lake Garden Supply as well as big box stores in nearby towns. Thank you for your cooperation with this important neighborhood initiative. The Heritage Lake Emergency Preparedness Team meets the first Wednesday of each month from 7-8:30pm in the Clubhouse Emergency Communications Center Room. Please join us as we prepare ourselves and our community for unexpected events, including health, weather & unforeseen events! Contact John Deegan @ 317-846-2979 or Darcey Schafer at 317-590-0981 with any questions, ideas or for more information.
