SPRING CLEAN UP The Annual Lake Cherokee Spring Cleanup will be conducted Friday, April 16th to Sunday, April 18th, 2021. During that period, both the North Side and South Side roll off container sites will be opened between the hours of 10:00 am and 5:00 pm Friday and Saturday and 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm Sunday. The sites will be manned by CWC employees. Residents may bring up to two (2) pickups full (approximately 6 yards) of non-hazardous household waste to the container sites for free disposal. If you need more than six yards, please call Jerry Hays at the CWC office and make arrangements. All waste must originate from leased property at Lake Cherokee.

Father & Son Rather than list what we will be accepting, let me list what we will not be able to accept. We will not be accepting any of the following: • Hazardous materials of any kind. Johnny & • Liquids of any kind. (Examples: paint, solvents, cooking oil, etc.) Ethan • Items that contain PCB’s (i.e., transformers) • Yard waste such as trees, limbs, grass clippings, etc. Land • Shingles and roofing materials.

Lake Residents Many of you wish we could accept yard waste and tree limbs, etc., unfortunately we cannot. To help with this problem the CWC has arranged for shareholders to obtain from the CWC office landfill vouchers to dispose of these items at the Pine Hill Landfill.These vouchers are good for two trips per year. Please call us for details of this program. Through special arrangements, we will be able to accept some items that are not allowed (903) 617-5404 at the landfill. These include: • Used motor oil. 1800 A North Eastman Rd. │ Longview, TX │ 75601 • Appliances including those that contain Freon such as air conditioners, refrigerators and freezers. JohnnysCarpetOne.com • Vehicle batteries will only be received at the north side disposal site.

Each year someone asks if we can take tires. We have made arrangements with a disposal provider; however, there will be a nominal charge per tire. If you have passen- TWO GREAT RADIO STATIONS! ger vehicle tires or lawn equipment tires from your lot the charge is $4 per tire. This fee must be paid in advance; the office will generate a list of those authorized to dispose of tires. The tires will only be received at the north side disposal site. In order to participate in the cleanup, you must bring the items for disposal and proof that you are a shareholder at Lake Cherokee to the disposal sites during the dates and times given above. Proof maybe in the form of Privilege Card showing you are a lease- holder or leaseholder’s spouse. In addition, a valid Driver’s License or other photo ID is required. If the leaseholder or spouse will not be present (i.e., you have arranged for 1240 AM • 105.3 FM, Kilgore • 101.9 FM, Longview • 94.9 FM, Chalk Hill Lake Cherokee and NOW, someone else to transport your material for disposal), you will need to call the office and 106.1 FM, Henderson make arrangements. This cleanup is for household waste only from the shareholders’ Lake Cherokee lot. No commercial disposal will be allowed. Please take this opportunity to improve our environment, improve the quality of life for all of us on the lake and protect our community.

Thankfully, we are not limited to the amount of rain actually (10 days before the Board meeting) falling in our lake for our water. Lakes all have a drainage March 8 area larger than the lake itself, and they receive the rainwater April 5 runoff from the entire drainage area. In our case, our main drainage area extends all the way over to a point west of a May 10 line drawn between Henderson and Kilgore. June 7 This is an over simplification since we are not considering July 6 the large contribution of many springs feeding our lake, but it can roughly be assumed that since 8.8” of rainfall became August 9 between 48” and 60” of water in the lake, then our drainage September 7 area must be over 5 times larger than our lake. It is also not uncommon for a certain part of our drainage area to receive October 11 a heavy volume of rain, and as a result, our lake rises, even November 8 though it may not have rained a drop on the lake.

Do You Know About AEDs?

For any of you that aren’t familiar with AED’s (Automated External Defibrillators), they are portable electronic devices that automatically diagnose the life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias of ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia and are able to treat a person through defibrillation, the application of electrical therapy which stops the arrhythmia, allowing the heart to reestablish an effective rhythm. Uncorrected, these cardiac conditions rapidly lead to irreversible brain damage and death, once cardiac arrest takes place. After approximately three to five minutes in cardiac arrest, irreversible brain/ tissue damage may begin to occur. For every minute that a person in cardiac arrest goes without being successfully treated (by defibrillation), the chance of survival decreases by 7 percent per minute in the first 3 minutes, and decreases by 10 percent per minute as time advances beyond 3 minutes. Clearly, quick action is critical. AED’s are in every patrol vehicle, the CWC office, Cherokee Country Golf Club, the CWC Fuel Center and one is kept by the Fishing Club. These devices were made avail- able through a fundraising effort initiated by the Fishing Club in 2007. In addition to all the work from the Fishing Club, the Golf Club held a special event and donated the proceeds to the cause and along with contributions from KFT and countless generous offerings from our shareholders, in the end, enough money was raised to purchase the units. AED’s are designed to be used by laypersons who ideally should have received AED training. All of the CWC Patrol, Maintenance and office personnel have received that train- ing. The AED’s have automated voice prompts and digital displays to instruct the user. In most cases, emergencies that happen at Lake Cherokee result in CWC employees being called on by local agencies to be the first responders. Fortunately, over the 14 years we have been blessed to have the AED’s available, there have been only a few instances we’ve been called on to use one, but our community is fortunate to have these units avail- able if the need arises and emergency action is required.

8 DECALS For your safety, Lake Patrol is stopping all vehicles without decals or with expired decals. To avoid any inconveniences or a citation, please display the current red vehicle decals as soon as possible.

The front decal should be placed in the top center or top driver’s side and the rear decal should be placed on the bottom driver’s side. We Come to You! Home or Office

Did you Know? How is “feet” calculated? The lake surely isn’t 280’ deep… Lake levels are established according to the elevation contour lines found on topographic survey maps. Those contour levels relate to Mean Sea Level. In other words, our spillway elevation is 280’ above Mean Sea Level. Mean Sea Level is an arithmetic average of the hourly ocean levels as tides rise and fall.

17 The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

While motoring around the lake, some of you have inadvertently come across stumps just below the surface of the water. With the best of intentions, you mark it - that’s good! But don’t just stick a piece of rebar or sucker rod in it -that’s bad! If someone can’t see it and runs across it, it can potentially cause more personal injury and damage to the watercraft than the stump would do- that’s ugly! The concern you’ve taken to let other boaters know of the stump danger is exactly what makes our Lake Cherokee shareholders great, but please cover those dangerous metal rods with PVC pipe and reflective tape or markers to assure they are seen and avoided. If those materials are not avail- able, please contact the office AS SOON AS POSSIBLE so we can finish your good deed and make it safer for everyone.
