Thanks for the outpouring of concern for our ailing foxes. If you have seen a fox in the last couple of weeks, text Mary Cartwright at (865)406-4111. Fox Force has volunteers, we have meds, but our fox population appears to have pretty much disappeared. We need help locating any remaining foxes. Please text the location of your fox and we’ll do our best to save it!

Our neighborhood foxes need your help.  They are dying of the mange, and it’s a horrible painful death.  If you have foxes in your yard or know where some are, you’re eligible for the neighborhood Fox Force.  We’re a handful of concerned neighbors who want to ensure we have healthy foxes with frolicking kits next spring.

The treatment is straightforward.  You put a small piece of food (meatball, boiled egg, wad of pet food, whatever seems foxworthy) out for your fox daily.  After, your fox is taking the bait; you inject a bait ball with liquid Invermectin (we provide a loaded syringe).  Keep baiting for a week, and then dose another bait ball.  Repeat.  So you’ll need to commit to about a month of fox baiting, that’s it.

If you have an ailing fox and are willing to save it, text Mary Cartwright at (865) 406-4111.

Our neighbor, Trevor, will be here just in time for July 4th (who wants to stand over a hot grill???)!

Details to come, but plan to come by to pick up some great brisket, pulled pork, smoked turkey, ribs and sides!

Thank you to everyone who submitted recipes for the “Recipes from the Quiet Side of the River” Cookbook.  The cookbooks are in and they look FANTASTIC!

Not only are there more than 200 recipes from you and your neighbors, but there is a history of Lakemoor Hills and several color photos from our neighborhood.

Each book is $20, with proceeds going to the Lakemoor Hills Resource Council and will be used to fund projects to beautify and improve our neighborhood.

We will have a table set up in Circle Lake Park this Sunday (May 30) from 1 – 4 PM.  Stop by and pick up a book for yourself (and friends & family – Christmas is only 6 months away)!

If you have any questions, please contact Laura Ward at ldw30341@yahoo.com

We’ve received dozens of great recipes from the neighborhood, but we have room for dozens more!

In order to get your recipes in, we’re extending the deadline to November 28th (Saturday after Thanksgiving).  If you’ve submitted 2 or 3, you’re invited to submit more!  We’d like to get at least 250 recipes to make a nice collection, so send along the family favorites or your best party foods (including beverages!).

If you aren’t able to type or write in the recipes into the form, we’ll do the work for you!  Just make a copy or clear photograph and send it to ldw30341@yahoo.com and we’ll do the rest!

Questions?  Text, call or email one of the cookbook committee members!
