Consider leaving part of your yard messy this winter! Yes, ig-nore any lingering tendencies that you have to pick up every leaf or plow under spent flowers during your fall cleaning frenzy. While we used to promote major cleanup efforts to reduce the im-pact of fungal diseases that can linger in overwintered debris, we now recognize some major bene-fits of leaving things alone. Here are some of the benefits:

Aesthetics – Winter land-scapes are beautiful. Think of dried grasses swaying in the wind, snow resting on dried seed heads, berries on bare branches attracting red cardinals, frost on dried leaves and grasses…

Winter habitat for pollina-tors – native bees need winter homes to protect them from cold and predators. Various species spend the winter under peeling

Hidden Valley Golf Club (HVGC) kicked off their winter banquet rental season with the Hidden Valley Riders (HVR) Halloween Party to benefit Jase Armbruster on Saturday, October 28th. The HVR promote and advance the sport of safe motorcycling in our community but also spon-sor and organize many charitable events. Their Halloween party was aimed at raising much needed funds for our residential family, The Armbrusters. The party was a success with a little over 100 attendees. A great “spooky” time was had by all, and what a great reason to come sup-port our community. HVGC sends out many thanks to the HVR; thank you for allowing HVGC to be a part of their charitable efforts. See the party pictures on pages 6A and 7A.

Children’s Christmas Toy Coalition seeks volunteers

STAFF REPORTOver 800 children received

Christmas toys and joy in 2016, thanks to the Coalition for Chil-dren’s Christmas Toys.

A combined effort of indi-viduals, churches, organizations, schools, and businesses, the coali-tion provides Christmas toys for the needy children of Dearborn and Ohio counties. It is a volunteer project of The Clearinghouse Food Pantry, 411 George St., Aurora.

This year the CCCT began ac-cepting toy donations Wednesday, Nov. 1, continuing through Tues-day, Dec. 12. Volunteers will begin boxing toys between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 27, continuing through Friday, Dec. 15. Volun-teers able to help on Saturdays are asked to make an appointment.

Meanwhile, candidate applica-tions for needy children will be accepted between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1, said Dee Hacker, CCCT coor-dinator.

There are multiple ways folks can help, said Karry Hollan, ex-ecutive director of The Clearing-house.

■Collect and bring new un-wrapped toys and games to The Clearinghouse. Last day to accept toys is Tuesday, Dec. 12.

■Request a toy collection barrel for your workplace, church, or school.

■Volunteer at The Clearinghouse fulfilling wish lists. Open Monday to Friday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 27 to Dec. 15.

■Help with toy distribution from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 19.

■Sponsor a family. ■Give a monetary donation for

toy purchasing. The Coalition for Children’s

Christmas Toys has been bring-ing Christmas toys to children in Dearborn and Ohio counties since 1981. For more information or to volunteer, contact Hacker or Hollan at 1-812-926-1198 or [email protected].

tree bark or in the hollow stems of wild flowers and grasses. Other species overwinter as eggs or larvae in ground bur-rows that remain hidden under fallen leaves. Leaving areas of your yard “au natural” provides the needed habitat for these crit-ical pollinators.

Protecting butterflies – Some butterflies like monarchs migrate south in the fall, but many overwinter under tree bark or in leaf litter. Other spe-cies that emerge as caterpillars in fall either curl up in leaf debris or form chrysalises that hang off of dead plant stems. If you remove this habitat, you eliminate overwintering habitat for these butterflies and per-haps endangering these declin-ing species.

Good predatory insects – There are a lot of insects that

prey on other insect pests in-cluding ladybugs, assassin bugs, lacewings, and damsel bugs. These overwinter as adults, eggs, or pupae under piles of leaves or under plant stems and bark. Leaving your garden de-bris in place provides the habitat needed to help these pest-eating insects get a head start on con-trolling unwanted insects.

Birds – Some of our favorite winter bird friends like chick-adees, wrens, nuthatches and bluebirds need protein-rich in-sects to supplement the seed in our feeders and in uncut seed heads. Leaving berries on native bushes and trees provides carb-rich winter treats for other birds. (No, honeysuckle berries do not count since they do not contain sufficient nutrients.) Attracting birds is a great reason to” leaf it be”.

We welcome our newest deputy, Caleb Norfleet. Caleb is an East Central graduate and was a police explorer with the Dearborn County Sheriff's Department during his high school years. He also serves in the National Guard.

HVL'S NEWEST DEPUTY

Did You Know?Over 70% of calls made to

9-1-1 today come from mobile phones and when you dial from a mobile phone, the 9-1-1 operator has very little information to help you – only your phone number and a very general sense of your location. This does not bode well in an emergency when seconds count, particularly if you or your loved ones have life threatening emergency medical condition, or if there is a fire.

There is a way you can add key information about you and mem-bers of your household

that would be essential in the event of an emergency, wheth-er the call is on a land line or any mobile phone. Your entire household can be on one account. The solution is SMART 911 on the internet. Go to http://www.smart911.com and enter some or all of the information that applies to your household. Here are some examples:

People - Names, physical de-

scriptions, and photos will help responders act quickly if a child goes missing, or help identify in-dividuals in an emergency.

Phones - By adding all phones for your household, 9-1-1 will have a better idea where you are when you need help.

Animals- Pets, livestock, and service animals responders need to be aware of.

Medical Information- If you include medical details, this would enable responders to have more information before they ar-rive on the scene.

Medical Conditions- If an in-dividual is affected by asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc., respond-ers need to know about these in order to safely treat the patient.

Allergies- Severe allergies often lead to emergencies that re-quire an extremely fast response. Alerting 9-1-1 instantly of aller-gies could save a life.

Disabilities and Equipment- If special equipment or specific tactics are needed to assist a per-son, these details can ensure a

safe response. Medications – This list is of

extreme importance for recovery.Address and Location Info-

Providing the home and work ad-dress of a mobile caller or details such as directions or access info helps facilitate faster response.

Property Details- Adding a photo of your residence along with other details and documenta-tion can help responders quickly recognize and access the property.

Utilities- Letting fire crews know where gas or electric shut-offs are located during a fire or weather emergency can help avoid additional accidents.

Floor Layout and Bedroom Locations- Providing details on layout and bedroom locations can help ensure everyone is removed from the property quickly and safely.

If you have any comments or questions you may contact us through email at: [email protected]

Do You Know about SMART 911?


About a month ago, we rebuilt Hidden Valley Drive. Over the years, large trucks using this road have been responsible for a lot of damage on it even though there have been signs limiting the weight of any vehicles traveling on it to 7,000 pounds. We have now put larger signs on it, but we also need your help. If you have any con-tractors coming to HVL, please let them know that if their vehicle is over 7,000 pounds, they cannot use Hidden Valley Drive. We are cur-rently working with Rumpke and the schools for a solution to ensure minimal use of this road.

Ash TreesWe are now to the point that

some of our ash trees have been dead for a while. These trees have become a significant problem as large branches from these trees get brittle and fall off. Nationally, there have been deaths caused by these branches and within Hid-den Valley Lake (HVL), we are beginning to see home damage from trees falling from vacant lots

as well as developed lots. Please make plans to get rid of your dead or dying trees soon. Don’t wait for an injury or property damage to take care of them. I realize this could be an expensive proposition, but let me suggest a way to pos-sibly save some money. If you simply have them cut down, and do not mind someone coming to take them away, I have residents that are looking for this wood. After they are done, you would simply have some small limbs to haul down to the community brush dumpster by our maintenance barn. If this is what you want to do, just give me a call. By the way, you can find a list of local tree services on our website.

Thank You!A big “thank you” goes out to

Valley Rural Utility Company (VRUC) for giving the POA doz-ens of trees left over from their replacement program. Linda Hart-mann has found spots in green spaces all over HVL for these trees. Thanks again to Floyd Ogden and the VRUC Board of Directors.

The Great Wall of the BeachA few weeks ago, I decided

to place decorative barriers at the beach parking lot with decorative caps to follow in the spring. The Safety Committee had voiced con-cerns about the possibility of a ve-hicle going over the embankment and possibly injuring someone. If

you are familiar with the hill, you know it is steep. The blocks also serve as a water barrier, which will direct the water away from the hill. This has been a problem for years when at times the water flow from rain has had enough velocity to take sand from the beach and deposit it in the lake. I under-stand that these barriers are causing much consternation on Facebook (not the official HVL page, but the other, “unofficial” site). Facebook posters have blamed the Board of Directors for this wall and stated that property owners should have voted on whether or not to install it. For the record, the board did not approve or disapprove the wall and the project thus far has only cost about $1,200. We will spend an additional $1,000 when we cap the wall in the spring. Although the subject of a wall had been brought up at previous board and committee meetings, I should have informed HVL residents about the project in advance.

Other ProjectsSpeaking of keeping you in-

formed about projects, there are three I want to address here. Your HVL maintenance team, along with our dam engineer, has begun the project of installing the emergency overflow for Crystal Lake. The process will require taking down many trees as well as hauling in rip rap. This is expected to take

us through January to complete.As I write this, I am concerned that the weather may stop our paving contractor from completing Phase 2 of our 2017 project. I will keep you informed. If this does happen, we will get them in here as soon as possible in the spring of 2018.

The bridge over the lake over-

flow is still ongoing, but we believe it is close to becoming a reality. We have had several glitches over the possible need for a permit from the Indiana Department of Natural Resources. We believe we have worked out these glitches and soon Girl Scout Jamie Morman bridge project will become a reality.

CHILDREN'S COMMITTEE EVENTSOctober is always the HVL Children’s Com-mittee’s busiest month. In addition to the 8 other events we host every year, our two largest events fall in October.

Haunted HayrideThe turnout for the Haunted Hayride is al-ways large, and this year was no different. We accommodated about 1200 riders be-tween 5 - 11pm! This event gets rave re-views, but requires much effort and coordi-nation. If it weren’t for the following people who all VOLUNTEER their time (none of us are paid to do this), it wouldn’t happen:

DriversJay Muffett (who also donated a trailer)Nate Turner (who also donated a trailer)Guy Shybly (who also donated a trailer)Allen MeyerTim KleierMatt PaulAndrew (unfortunately I don’t know his last name!)

Trailers:Bryant Dold (B&B Scapes) – donated 2 trail-ers Casey Knigga – donated a trailerDave Hafner – donated a trailer

Residents scaring along the route This year we had more residents than ever put a LOT of effort into decorating and/or scaring along the route. These are the ones we know of, but I am sure we missed others (sorry for not mentioning you!).

John Sterwerf, David and Michelle Wilhelm, Kathie Smid, Darlene Zacarias, Cathy Ste-vens, Jamaine Smith, Steve and Denice Siereveld, Shandy Stath, Carrie Brewer, The-resa Reddell, Chris Knosp, Amy Delp, Phil Dunham, Tina Minnick, Phil and Elaine Heit, Pennie Shuler, Brandon Cable, Kristen Day, Robert Montazemi, Kim Lewis, and Justin Egan.

Thanks to Volunteers andDonationsFloyd Ogden and VRUC for allowing us to use their generatorsTony, Tyler and Zach Morris for scaring along the routeEric Johnson, and Eric Airgood for all your help before, during and after the hayrideThe HVL Maintenance team for delivering hay, garbage cans, cones, and other itemsThe deputies for helping out in many areas that nightLawrenceburg Student Council and Key

We have a GREAT community and so many of you made this event happen. THANK YOU for stepping up!

And finally, thanks to the Children’s Commit-tee members, who worked MANY hours to make this event happen!

Halloween WalkIt wasn’t the best day weather-wise for the annual Halloween Walk. Still, about 300 kids and their families braved the cold for a chance to show off their costumes and get some Halloween treats. Kids age 10 and under were invited to collect candy and other goodies from 50 stations along Longview Drive. And as a special surprise – Rosie Red and Gapper joined in on the fun!

We had a great time and hope everyone else did too! Thank you so much to Paige Wurtz

for helping organize the event, and to all the residents on Longview, the Bright Fire De-partment, Little Red Academy, Linda Rasp and family, Linda Miller and family, Ashley and Darryl Howe, all the other volunteers who passed out candy!

Last event of the year – Santa’s Workshop!Last year, we held our first “Santa’s Work-shop” instead of Pizza with Santa. It was such a hit that we will do it again this year! Here are the details:The event will be held on Sunday, December 3rd from 2 – 4 p.m. at Willies (lower level). Similar to an open house, families are welcome to come to see Santa anytime during those hours. Decorate cookies, enjoy a drink (milk, juice or water), make a craft, and re-ceive a special gift from Santa. Bring your own camera to take pictures of your child(ren) with Santa. Since it is a come-and-go event we are not limiting attendance as years past! Howev-er, YOU MUST RSVP so we can prepare and manage the event appropriately. Cost is $3 per child age 1-10. Children older than age 10 are welcome to get a picture with their younger siblings/families at no additional cost. There are three ways to RSVP:

The Chimney Safety Institute of America strongly recommends an annual chimney inspection to

keep your family safe. Annual chimney inspections, cleanings and repairs greatly reduce the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.

• You don’t want to do this yourself, it’s messy• Quick appointment turn around in fall• Find the problems before it gets cold• Keep animals, birds and pests from nesting in your chimney • Leaving residue in your chimney flue wears out your masonry. • Soot and water make acids that deteriorate mortar joints.

HIDDEN VALLEY LAKE GOLF CLUBDear Hidden Valley Residents,

With November here the golf season for 2017 is winding down however don’t put your golf clubs away too soon since we always have a few nice days to get that last round in for the year. 2017 has been a good year as we were able to make many improvements to the clubhouse, bought 60 brand new Club car golf carts, bought a new rough mower and most important a new pumping station for our irrigation system. We have a number of things in the planning stages for 2018 all of which will make the club more enjoyable for our members and guests. As long as membership remains

solid, we will continue to make improvements to the clubhouse and to the golf course.

We are planning on hav-ing a Black Friday sale in the pro shop however it will carry on the entire week. We have a

number of items at drastically reduced

prices. If you have that special someone that is difficult to buy for you need to stop by the Pro

shop. Often times you say “my mom

and dad are impossible to buy for because they have everything”, you need to stop by the Pro shop. Since there are so many items to choose from, it may be easier to just buy a gift certificate and they can pick out exactly what they want. If you

Many thanks go out to Deb Houchin, MaryKay Kroeger and Vicki Shroyer along with the Hidden Valley Golf Club 9 hole ladies league. The ladies created baskets which were then raffled with the pro-ceeds going to Matthew Ministries and the Houston SPCA. A big thank you goes out to all of the local businesses as the ladies were able to raise $1914.00. Congratulations to everyone for a job well done!

THANK YOU LADIES!

Two Day “Fall Classic” ends F&G 2017 Season The final F&G tournament

each year is a special 2 day event and is always followed by a picnic after Sunday’s tourney ends.

The weather was comfortable and the turnout was good, but fishing was less than great. This year’s winner was the ever con-sistent team of Bill Sess and Roy Croley. They are also back to back Anglers of the Year for 2016 and 2017. Congratulations to them. 2nd. place went to Butch and Marco Mikesell, who also deserve a big thank you for serving as tournament directors again. They did an excellent job as always.

3rd. place went to Rob Flow-ers and Ryan Batchelor and Jerry and Chris Ludwig took the

4th spot. Big Bass on Saturday went to Tom Derrick and Dave

Clean Water and MS4 RegulationsRegardless of your political

position on EPA clean water reg-ulations, we should all agree that keeping our lake free of sedi-ment, chemicals, and excessive algae growth is a goal that we can all support. This is important for the health of our swimmers and boaters, good for the envi-ronment and our property values, and key to the beauty and seren-ity of our neighborhood.

The State of Indiana Depart-ment of Environmental Man-agement (IDEM) provides guid-ance, and establishes reporting guidelines for, how we deal with storm water as part of our MS4 classification. MS4 is short for

Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. An MS4 is a conveyance or system of conveyances that is:

■owned by a state, city, town, village, or other public entity that discharges to waters of the U.S.,

■designed or used to collect or convey stormwater (e.g., storm drains, pipes, ditches),

■not a combined sewer, and ■not part of a sewage treatment

plant, or publicly owned treat-ment works (POTW).

As an MS4 community, we establish how we fulfill the guid-ances by setting our own goals and best management practices. One of the key goals is com-

munity education. This is why I get to put on my teacher and en-vironmentalist hats every month and write articles on water man-agement practices. This includes topics of erosion, lawn and household chemicals, controlling pet waste and fertilizers that in-crease plant nutrients in the lake, and even on deer management and control of invasive plant spe-cies since those impact runoff.

We will be updating our community storm water plan (SWPPP) in 2018 and can use your help! Please contact Linda at [email protected] if you would be interested in helping out.

are looking for a big ticket item, why not purchase a membership either single or family for one full year at our introductory rate. The intro rate is extremely low and you can pay for it monthly on your credit card if you wish. Call me at the club for details and I promise I won’t tell Santa!

Even though the weather

isn’t warm we have been busy at the club with outings, tourna-

ments and events. Early in the month we hosted the Elder Class of 1962 (their 55th reunion) golf outing. Our company golf out-ing took place on October 12th. Local club tournaments included Greenkeepers Revenge and the Year End Tournament. Novem-ber 4th showcases our yearly Deep Freeze Tournament. Our Board of Governors along with management will provide a ter-rific dinner and free draft beer for all of our members at our year end meeting which will take place on Nov. 3rd. Novem-ber 4th we will host an Eve-

ning with Sinatra. Along with a delicious dinner Mr. Michael Wilkins, a well known Sinatra guru will sing Frank’s popular hits. It should be a fun evening with great music, lots of prizes to be had and all of the proceeds benefitting the HVL Senior Ac-tivities Program. If you have any questions about the club or the happenings please don’t hesitate calling me or stop by the club, my door is always open.

Birders – if you would like to join in the Audubon Christ-mas Bird Count HVL Circle, email Linda at [email protected]. The current plan is to count our backyard birds and/or to join Nick in a Campground Loop hike on Sunday, December 17. It is a great way to learn to identify common birds and perhaps even some uncommon migrating spe-cies. For more information about this event see http://www.audubon.org/join-christmas-bird-count .

President Pat Hawkins called the October 26, 2017 Board of Directors Meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance.

President’s Report: Pat Hawkins

Your Board of Directors is pleased to announce that our work on the codification of Hidden Val-ley Lake’s bylaws is now com-plete. We have completed our final review and the bylaws are now in the hands of Jared Ewbank, our attorney, for his final check. We expect that these bylaws will be on our website by late next week or early the week of No-vember 6.

As we noted at our August board meeting, this was a massive under-taking and its completion would not have been possible without the help of many volunteers and employees. We thank them again.

Our bylaws are a living docu-ment that will always be sub-ject to revision as our community changes. Be assured, though, that we will thoroughly review all pro-posed revisions in order to main-tain the integrity of the bylaws.

Lakes Committee Report: Dave Patterson

Last meeting there was a re-port on the damn inspection. The committee had a second inspec-tion. The reasons for the lower rating had been fixed and after the second inspection the damn was ranked satisfactory.

Dave spoke of Bill Cox, who passed away recently and was a long standing member of the com-mittee. He will be missed. Dave presented a suggestion that had been brought to him by a couple of members that the committee donate a commemorative tree in Bill’s honor.

The Fish & Game annual golf outing was once again a huge suc-cess. Their recent senior’s pan fish tournament was such a suc-cess that they put on a fish fry for the club at the following meeting.

ATAC sprayed at Lake Melody to reduce the number of cattails.

There were 6 citations given out on the lake this season, with the majority being for more than one on a tube in the high speed zone.

Bruce and George will final-ize a rule making fishing from shore similar to fishing from a boat, i.e. two limits per member and guests. We need to review the rules and limits for guest passes.

The quality of the lake is good, typical for this time of year.

The bats are gone at Crystal Lake and the project to build the emergency spillway can get under way. This should take a couple of weeks, depending on weather.

Lake Holiday needs larger rip rap at the far end.

The inspection schedule for the small lakes is June and Janu-ary.

Boat safety class preparation has been completed. No one has attended the class. New boaters should be taking the class to become familiar with HVL boat-ing rules.

The requirement for further state approval or involvement is no longer an issue for the Sluice Gate Bridge widening. The bridge should be complete with-in the next couple of months.

Marina parking lot – potholes and road material placement – We didn’t end up with nearly as much milled road material as we had thought we would have. The maintenance crew started spreading it on the marina park-ing lot, but stopped so that we could re-assess where it should go. We need to use some of it where the asphalt starts to fan out in the marina parking lot. Several potholes have appeared there.

There was much discussion on the new concrete barrier walls that have placed at the upper beach parking lot and at the inter-

section of Alpine and Longview. This has been a project for the Safety Committee for some time. Bruce was able to get the sections for approximately $35.00 apiece. The Lake Committee did feel that the project should have come to their committee prior to imple-mentation.
