Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2017 Page 3 HLPOA INFORMATION Office phone: 765-386-7447 Office Hours Ken Rozelle Thank you to all our Veterans: I would like to Thank all our Veterans for their dedicated service to our country. Please join me on November 11th in honoring our Veterans! Please remember, DO NOT blow or allow your leaves to end up in the lake or Ponds. That ends up costing all of us in siltation removal fees. Ditches and ravines are also another key area to remove leaves from. During heavy rainfall, leaves in ditches create serious drainage issues that creates restricted drains that may cause flooding or high water. Please take your leaves to the 30 acres behind the fire station. Please unbag your leaves when dropping them off at the 30 acres. Happy Thanksgiving On behalf of myself, staff, and Board of Directors, we would like to wish each and every one of you, a Happy Thanksgiving. Best Regards, Ken Rozelle Property Manager WHAT DO YOU THINK?? In the August POA Board meeting, a presentation was given to the Board for a proposal to expand the size of the lake to nearly double its current size. The proposal details, with respect to lake location, size, and shape, are being held at the POA office. As this was just an information inquiry by the presenter to gage our community’s interest, no action, decision, or direction has been defined. The POA Board would like to hear from the community to understand whether this is something worth further defining and pursuing. Again – no action is being taken until the voice of the community is heard. Tell us what you think – contact the POA Office, a Board Member, or attend a Board Meeting to ask questions and let us know what you think and what you want for this community. The Board cannot and will not take any action until a community consensus has been reached.

Page 6 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2017 CLEAR CREEK CONSERVANCY DISTRICT The Clear Creek Conservancy District board of directors met OCTOBER 19, 2017, 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 Opera- tions Manager; Tom Novak; Harold Paetow.

The board set bid opening for February 15 with a pre-bid conference to take place at the treatment plant at 10 am on February 1, 2018. Hours and days of work were discussed due to the potential noise levels with the board indicating that they did not wish to limit the contractor due to the need to get the project completed within a limited time. Joe Miller agreed to put together a proposal for incentives for early completion and liquidated damages should the contractor not complete the project by the substantial completion date of November 16, 2018. Doug Clodfelter and Joe Miller will work on the placement and construction of the access road for the contractor which will be a completed in the summer. The concrete removed from the principal spillway will be stockpiled on the district’s land with the board requesting Joe Miller to pursue a permit to eventually use the concrete for bank stabilization along the creek. The engineers then left the meeting to complete the visual dam inspection. The regular meeting began at 10 a.m. Jerry Wood signed his oath of office which will be filed with the Putnam County Circuit Court. Jerry Wood to approve the minutes of the last meeting.

There are 1,382 account locations, one more than last month with the connection of Gettysburg 470 on September 20. The August/September sewer access fees were due October 16 since the 15th fell on Sunday. Late fees of $1,606.89 were added to 285 ac- count locations.

Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer requested the board authorize transferring the web hosting to Immense Impact. Options were a rural water site at $349.00 per year with a one-time setup fee of $299.00 or the municipal site for $479.40 per year with a one-time setup fee of $349.00. Kathy Deer rec- ommended the larger municipal site after discussion of the potential to post information about sewer care, pictures of actual damaged pumps, and the technical assistance needed to move the in.gov domain. Chris Schubert moved to approve the municipal web hosting proposal. Jer- ry Wood seconded. Vote unanimous. Kathy Deer reported three lots are scheduled to be sold after the meeting. The adjacent landowner is purchasing 459 Gettysburg, and 275 and 276 Patriots Landing is being purchased by related couples planning to build homes. That is a total of 28 lots sold.

Dave Dunnuck delivered a 15 Hp Hydromatic chopper pump and it is being tested in LS P2 for two weeks and it will then be tested in LS G5. Two Tsurumi pumps were also delivered, one for LS P1 and the other for LS M1. A failed I/I inspection was submitted by plumber, John Fisher, for MS075 where a washing machine and tub sink in the basement went to a sump pump for the perimeter drain. The plumbing was corrected to redirect the washer and sink to the sewer and the sump pump to the outside. The reinspection was completed by Michael Young and a certificate of compliance was issued. Don, Michael and Doug completed a one-day training on operating the RST Private Eye Crawler Camera and push camera in the shop. Jason with ECO Solutions will train them in the field another day. Doug recommended a box trailer be purchased to mount the equipment with all the accessories. Doug also recommended a different trailer for the mower. In the public forum, Tom Novak recommended the board revisit the hours and days of work for the contractor on the principal spillway pro- ject voicing concern that the contractor would use lights and work late at night. Chris Schubert agreed to visit with the neighboring homes at the principal spillway to obtain their opinion. The next regular meeting will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, November 16 at 10 a.m. at the district’s office.

Top 10 Holiday Food Safety Tips Don’t be a turkey about food safety this season. (From WebMD.com) By Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD To make sure your holiday dinner is not only delicious but as safe as possible, WebMD asked the experts for their best holiday food safety tips. Here are their top 10 suggestions: 1. Have a master plan. Chefs do it, and so should you. Consider your refrigerator, freezer and oven space, and how you'll manage to keep hot foods at 140 degrees or higher and cold foods at 40 degrees or below. If you need to use coolers, make sure you have plenty of clean ice and check it frequently to be sure the ice hasn't melted 2. Cook to proper temperature -- and use a thermometer. There is simply no other way to determine that food has been cooked enough to kill bacteria. Remember the golden rule: Keep hot food hot and cold food cold. 3. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours of preparation. Leaving food out too long is one of the biggest holi- day food safety problems. Store leftovers in 2-inch deep, shallow containers and make sure the refrigerator is not over-packed and there is plenty of air circulating around the food so it can be properly cooled. Cut meat off the turkey to allow it to quickly cool to proper temperature, as well as make it easy to store. 4. Properly defrost your turkey, or buy a fresh one. Allocate 24 hours per 5 pounds to defrost in the refrigera- tor, and whatever you do, don’t defrost the bird on the kitchen counter. 5. Wash your hands thoroughly and often -- before, during, and after food preparation. Wash with hot water and soap, up to your wrists and between your fingers, for approximately 20 seconds. 6. Wash all fresh produce. Wash even prepackaged greens, to minimize potential bacterial contamination. Make sure kitchen counters, sponges, cutting boards, and knives are all well-scrubbed. 7. Reheat leftovers to 165 degrees. You really need to use a thermometer to make sure all the food is reheat- ed enough to kill bacteria. 8. Keep guests (and sticky fingers) out of the kitchen. Holidays occur during cold and flu season, which fur- ther compounds the fact that about half of all people have staph aureus bacteria on their fingertips. Serve simple appetizers to give guests something to nibble on until the meal is ready. 9. Serve only pasteurized apple cider. Most juices, including apple cider, are pasteurized to destroy any harmful bacteria. While you can buy unpasteurized juice, it will contain a warning that it can cause serious ill- ness in vulnerable people. 10. Be egg-stra careful with eggs. Many eggnog recipes call for uncooked eggs. To be perfectly safe, you need to use pasteurized eggs or cook the eggs yolks lightly to be sure you kill any potential salmonella bacte- ria. Eggs should be kept refrigerated until ready for use and always cook egg products to 160 degrees.

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2017 Page 9 KIDDE FIRE EXTINGUISHER RECALL The federal government has recalled more than 37.8 million Kidde fire extinguishers with plastic handles. One death has been reported. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the extinguishers can get clogged or need too much force to be used and can fail to work in a fire emergency. Also, the nozzle can come off with enough force to pose an impact hazard. The recall involves two styles of Kidde fire extinguishers: plastic-handle fire extinguishers and push-button Pindicator extinguishers. The fire extinguishers are sold at Menards, Montgomery Ward, Sears, The Home Depot, Walmart, and other stores nationwide, and online at Amazon.com, ShopKidde.com, and other sites for $12 to $50, and for about $200 for model XL 5MR. They were also sold with commercial trucks, recreational vehicles, per- sonal watercraft, and boats. The recall includes models that were previously recalled in March 2009 and February 2015. Information on the recalled fire extinguishers is available online at the Consumer Products Safety Council web site (cpsc.gov) and the Kidde web site (kidde.com/home-safety/en-us). Owners of the recalled fire extinguishers should immediately contact Kidde to request a free replacement and for instructions on returning the recalled unit. Recall information for fire extinguishers used in RVs and other vehicles can be found at www.NHTSA.gov. For any other questions, call Kidde’s toll-free number at 855-271-0773 from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. ET Saturday and Sunday, or go online at www.kidde.com and click on “Product Safety Recall Notice.” HERITAGE LAKE CRAFT SHOW Bass Classic 2 day Tournament 1st.

Page 10 Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2017 FOOD FOR THOUGHT “The doubling of computer processing speed every 18 months, known as Moore's Law, is just one manifestation of the greater trend that all technological change occurs at an exponential rate. For the vast majority of human existence, it was safe to assume that the world in which you died would look pretty much the same as the one in which you were born. But that is no longer the case…” Big Think Our current rate of change is not just in technology, but in society. The rate of change is in how we perceive truth, what is good, what is evil, what we value, what we discard, in what or whom we have faith, and how faith itself, changes. That’s our relationship with the future; now consider our relationship with the past. The postmodern mindset of history is; historical facts are basically inaccessible. So it is open season to make history whatever you want, according to your own views in the present. This has had some interesting effects. History books are revised to taste. Even period movies are something to behold! The characters live by morals and standards we never imagined, even a few decade ago, let alone in a more distant time. So, every culture and era becomes postmodern, only in different clothes. It makes a person wonder; what will become of a society that is unanchored to its real past and is gaining speed as it rushes into its future? Ok, you ready? Here comes a major turn in the direction of this article. It’s not a social commentary, but a look to Christmas this year. That’s right, not postmodernism, but Christmas! Christmas is a glittering thread that extends back to the birth of western culture as we know it. If there was an event we celebrate today that might serve as a trustworthy bridge to the past, wouldn’t it be Christmas? We’ve been planning something for a while at Canaan Community Church. Our original sanctuary was built in 1869. What if we could time-travel back in that very same building to the year it started? How would the era strike us? What have we gained in our time… what have we lost? How far have we come, and how far have we strayed? I’d love to say we are offering our community a trip back to that actual date. We thought about it, but we were concerned about the temporal mechanics and danger of initiating a time paradox. So, we decided to do the next best thing; have a historical re-creation. On Christmas eve, we will roll back the calendar in dress, practices, and Christmas message. And we’ll do it in the place where it actually happened! As a church, we may have an advantage against the postmodern concern on history. Gaining access to history is possible. The great sermons of that time period are still available. The Christmas message presented will be an actual Christmas message of that day. It will be one of the classics that impacted and resonated in its day. We will do everything we can to step back in time and worship in another century. People may walk away grateful we have moved on, or they might discover something we have lost in our new world, and take those timeless treasures back with them. Either way, I believe there is no greater Christmas gift to give a postmodern culture than a reconnection to the past as it was. Anyway, it is certainly food for thought!

Heritage Lake HIGHLIGHTS EMAIL > [email protected] NOVEMBER, 2017 Page 11 by Marianne Novak In October HHH celebrated Audrey’s “special” birthday at Charbono’s. Our hostesses, Kathy and Cathy, indulged us with chocolate and party favors. Bev brought the cupcakes and Kathy served us chocolate ice cream…yummy! After eating lunch, we had a short meeting. We collected over 100 items (coats, hats, scarves, gloves) for Putnam County Coats for Kids. Our annual visit to the V.A. Hospital was scheduled for October 24. Lastly, we were reminded to bake those cookies for the Arts/Crafts Fair on October 27/28 at the Fairgrounds. Even though it was her birthday, Audrey provided us with the lesson, “Slow Cooker 101.” The next meeting is November 21 at 11:30 A.M. at the Clubhouse for a “favorite Thanksgiving food” pitch-in. Cathy will teach us the lesson on Arm Knitting. For more information, call Pam (386-6226). Heritage Lake Book Club by Marianne Novak The Shell Seekers took book clubbers to Cornwall, England. Shifting in time, this novel tells the story of Penelope Keeling, the daughter of Bohemian parents (an artist father and his much younger French wife). This family saga examines her past and her relationships with her adult children. In this novel, one can almost imagine being in the beautiful portion of the UK known as the Corn- wall Riviera. The Shell Seekers is a 1987 novel by Rosamunde Pilcher. It became one of her most famous best sellers. It was nominated in 2003 as one of the top 100 novels in the BBC’s Big Read. While discussing this lovely story, our readers munched on “tinned peaches and biscuits” just as Pe- nelope did during the war years. We rated the book 3.9.

Garden Club purchased a beautiful Red Star Maple Tree to provide some shade on the playground. Thanks to the maintenance men for planting it. The tree needed to be watered for ten days. I only had to do it twice. God did the rest. Gloria Smith purchased a Golden Leaf Maple for the playground in honor of her husband. Elections were held for the following year: President – Linda Lawler; Vice President – Becky Marksberry; Secretary – Audrey Birtchman & Marianne Novak; Treasurer – Joy Mackey & Marie Goins. Our next meeting is November 9th. May Davis is going to teach “Pinecone Decorating” for our Holiday Table. Becky is bringing large pinecones for all, or bring your own. Also, you will need to put together some greenery, miniature decorations, sequins, glitter, thin ribbon, glue. Then we drove to DePauw University Conservancy where Miss Anna Harris guided us through three rooms of trees, flowers, grasses, and cacti. Lunch followed at Almost Home. If you’d like to hear more, call Linda Lawler 317-966-6191.
