From the President

The board met February 18th, and..... I am remaining as President, along with Lee Smith as Vice President, Chris Burt as Treasurer, and Steve Schuldenfrei as Secretary.

Plans are being made to continue with additional installation of cameras. We will also make necessary repairs to the walkway west of the Rec. Center along with re paving the Rec. Center parking lot. We will also be painting more common walls. Plans are in the works for refurbish-ing the men's and ladies' bathrooms in the Rec. Center and resurfacing of the tennis courts.

Committees have been formed for management of our property,,, and we would, greatly appre-ciate, any residents that would join any committee of their choosing to help in moving this community along.

Enjoy the great weather! Regards, Mel Silverman, President

We hate to restate the obvious, but you as a resident of the Lakes do need to follow some simple rules... A STOP sign really does mean stop... even here in the Lakes. Recently there have been two "near misses" because drivers failed to stop at the sign. The good news is that doing the right thing (i.e. stopping) makes for a safer community and it makes you feel good. The bad news is that the TPD does travel through the Lakes and you could get a ticket. So PLEASE... observe all stop signs!

Second... the removal of chairs from the pool area is prohibited. There are some women that are taking the chairs and putting them along the lake and then stacking and leaving them there. If you want to sit by the lake, please bring your own chairs.

Lastly... posting notices on the mail boxes is a federal offense. The mail boxes are actually the property (and

ownership) of the government. OK, no one is going to get prosecuted because they put up a lost dog announcement on our mail boxes. But it looks terrible and they are often never re-moved. The Board is working on an alternative solution for posting announcements. In the meantime, if you've lost something (keys, dog, whatever), let your editor know (lcreditor@cox.net) and he will send out an email notice.

Please…

Tillman, the uber talented English Bulldog that unfor-tunately started a population explosion of dogs so wracked with issues we can’t list them all here. Unfortunately animals suffer at the hands of people who ‘have to have’ the newest, most trendy thing out there without doing research and making a commit-ment that the animal will be your ‘forever’ animal. If you see a movie, a TV Show, or commercial featuring a particular breed, you can be sure that the shelters or pure breed rescues will be overflowing with those breeds within a year or two. And, because people just won’t become educated on long term health benefits of spayed or neutered pets, there will be an explosion of backyard breeding of that trendy breed.

Hindsight is always 20/20. The developer of the now popular Labradoodle (and GoldenDoodle) is regretting his decision to develop this breed. Now, generations later he is seeing the health issues, temperament is-sues of these ‘breeds’. Only 1 dog out of 20 actually possesses the traits he was looking for.

Let’s praise the movies, commercials or TV shows that use ‘mutts’ as their dogs. Let’s praise the breed res-cues that devote their time, money and patience to rescue these ‘trends’ in dogdom. Let’s quit labeling mixed breeds as ‘Designer Dogs’ and it will help cut down the overpopulation that results. Please, SPAY, NEUTER, AND ADOPT! Kathy Harris

By Kathy Harris

The winner of the 2014 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show was a Wire Fox Terrier, a won-derful breed whose AKC description says: “The Wire Fox Terrier is active and out-going, intelligent but independent. Their compact size, handsome appear-

ance, and happy disposition combine to make them appealing as show dogs and companions. Bred in Eng-land to "go to ground" after fox and small vermin, they have natural hunting and digging instincts. They are at home in the city or country but do best in a fenced yard or walked on a lead. The Wire Fox Terrier coat does not shed but does require up keep and groom-ing.”

Within a year we’ll be seeing Wire Haired Fox Terriers in our shelters. Why? Because people will ‘have to have’ this now popular breed, and not really research whether or not it fits in their household or lifestyle. They will also buy from Backyard Breeders, people who will breed a pair or two without ‘breeding out’ the bad characteristics. The BYB’s won’t have the parents health checked and certified against known breed health issues. They won’t back up their breeding with rescue or return of a poor quality pup. They are only out for the $$. People who purchase will not have done their research, and when that ‘digger’ ruins their yard they will dump the dog at the shelter. The dog suffers because the owner wanted the ‘media’ dog, the new show winner or the one featured in a movie or commercial.

The media has not been kind to shelters. When the movie 101 Dalmatians was released, within a year the shelters were overflowing with Dalmatians. The breed has known issues which people were not prepared for. With Marley and Me, the movie about a Golden Re-triever, there was a huge influx of Goldens in the shel-ters. They were just too much for their owners who hadn’t done the research and learned that Goldens will be ‘children’ for at least half their lives. Look at

The 25 residents who participated in the Lakes Li-brary had an en-joyable time shar-ing their views on

different books and authors and meeting up with friends and neighbors. We thank the residents for their donations of 55 more books.

Since opening the Library, residents have donated over 400 books. You are sure to find your favorite authors. If you have not made a visit to the Library, we extend a cordial invitation to come by, browse, socialize and meet the committee members who es-tablished a Library for you, in your community. The Library will open again on Saturday, May 24.

Olive Tree Spraying

Page 6 Castle Rock TimesCastle Rock Times

By Jon Gibson

Complete Landscaping

Olive trees have been a part of the Tucson, Ari-zona landscape for many years. Just go downtown and look at all the histori-cal buildings with olive trees around them. The trees seen downtown are no longer allowed to be

planted in Tucson (see list of banned trees below) but many homeowners continue to hold on to their trees with love and care. The biggest challenge every home-owner has with these trees is the large amounts of fruit they produce in the beginning part of the year. These fruits are not just a pain to pick up every day but also stain anything underneath the tree. On average, one large Olive tree can produce over 10,000 olives in one year. Because of this mess, it is imperative that olive trees are sprayed in general, the time of the year that this is done is also essential to their maintenance and upkeep.

Spraying olive trees with a growth regulator at the ideal time allows a person to enjoy the tree at its best, while not given the headache of cleaning it up. The best time of the year to spray olive trees is between the

months of January and March. Know the tree and look at it during these months, once the buds have bloomed, it is time to spray the tree. This allows people to enjoy the flowers that come just before the fruits. When the decision has been made to spray the tree, make sure to follow the label on the growth regulator or hire a Certified Spray Applicator to complete the job. Do not over spray the tree and make sure to give the tree extra water once you have finished spraying. The over use of a growth regulator may cause more dam-age and have an adverse effect on what it trying to be achieved.

Olive trees are extremely hardy, only needing deep wa-tering once a month. In order to increase their longevity and for them to be more manage-able, it is important to main-tain and spray these trees accordingly. Using a growth regulator on olive trees will not completely wipe them of their fruit, but it will add to their overall upkeep and decrease the chances of branches breaking or fruit dropping due to too much production.

What NOT to Plant In The Lakes

For various reasons the Design Review Committee (DRC) has put the following vegetation on the “Do Not Plant”

list for residents (and of course for the common areas too). Theses trees, shrubs and ground cover cause prob-

lems and are prohibited. Thank you.

The Solar Store is building two different mail box lighting systems to replace our present, generally non-functioning lighting. One of the fixtures will use an LED light array and the other will not. Generally LED's are more efficient and they may be the only ones that will work. Once built, the Solar Store will install both systems (each at a different location) to see which type works best. We will let you know the locations so you can give us feed-

back. Then we will install the best one at all mail box locations.
