Dues Schedule Reminders
Note that dates for the issuance of dues reminders and due dates for submission have been added to the MKL Social Calendar on the Web site. The most recent dues reminder (for Association dues) has been issued; payment is due October 1.
Please be prompt with your dues payments—the job of treasurer is stressful enough without having to track down those who are late with their payments! Email mkltreasurer@gmail.com to receive your dues notices by email. |
New Residences Taking Shape at the Lake
The McFayden house on Lake Trail East is nearing completion. The address is 48 LTE. Construction has begun on the Tesi home on the site of the former Reusser home on Lake Trail West. Their house number will be 40. In addition, another home will soon emerge on the lot opposite the Manser house on Lake Trail West. The property has been purchased by the Haynworths, and their address will be 50 Lake Trail West.
We look forward to the arrival of all these new neighbors!!
Environmental Stewardship Committee
The committee plans to present information at their TGIF, which is scheduled for October 14. Come and learn about composting, invasives, septic health and other eco-friendly topics!

Deer Disease Hitting Local Herds A disease (EHD) is affecting deer in our area, resulting in at least 3 dead or dying deer found at the Lake. The symptoms of Epizootic Hemorragic Disease are lethargy, high thirst, drooling, and shock. If you see an affected deer, call the Police Department if the animal is still alive or the Health Department if it is already dead. The disease is spread by the bite of a species of midge fly, which is likely to die off with the onset of colder weather. The midge bite doesn’t infect humans and the virus doesn’t spread from animal to animal or to humans. |
Irene, continued
Another casualty was the huge black walnut tree on the border between the Van Kirks and the Barretts (pictured). Many hours of consultations are going into figuring out how to have it removed—and perhaps how to salvage some of the valuable wood. Suggestions welcome!

Emergency Contact Phone Updates Needed!
Many telephones were knocked out along with the power during the recent storm, with the result that several people didn’t receive the “emergency water conservation” message during the storm. Please provide a cell phone contact to Rick Barrett so that you will be sure to receive emergency messages even when our home lines and emails are inoperable.
