- If you, a member of your family or neighbor needs help during this period, please call your emergency response team’s captain.
- If you would like to volunteer to assist neighbors, forward your name and address to Bob Proctor, lakemoor.hills.ERT@gmail.com, the Chairman of the Lakemoor Hills Emergency Response Team. Thank you for those who have already volunteered on our Facebook page to bring groceries and medications to residents.The Emergency Response Team area map and area captain information can be found on the link below.

COVID19 PPE Masks
To Our Friends,
With the current concerns around the COVID19 virus and a limited supply of PPE in the area, we recently reached out to our manufacturers to produce some 10,000+ N95 rated medical masks. Last Friday, we started donating the masks to the medical community. If you are a healthcare worker or your general practitioner is in need of PPE, please feel free to provide my e-mail information and we will do our best to help as many groups as possible. My email is eric.zeanah@aai-tenn.com.
If you are over the age of 60 and would like a few procedural masks for when you go out, please also let me know. Most important, please be safe! We should be through this difficult time in a matter of weeks.
Sincerely, Eric Zeanah

New and Improved Website Under Construction
The LHHA website has been a great tool for sharing information about neighborhood issues and events. We are working to improve the site and adding some new capabilities. To do this we are building a new site.
The current website will remain the same and we will migrate to the new one in late summer when it is ready to go live.
We are accumulating information about the history of our peninsula. Any old photos or stories would be appreciated. We will provide spots to highlight clubs or organizations within the neighborhood also.
If you have suggestions or ideas to incorporate into the new site, please email to ksp53@me.com.
Be on the lookout for my announcement to let you know the new website has gone live.
Summary of Incident on Friday May 24th
Dear Neighbors:
This is a summary of what your Lakemoor Hills Homeowners Association Emergency Response Team leaders have been able to confirm about the Friday May 24 “emergency” incident occurring in our neighborhood. We have been told that the lead officer is still actively working the case. There are reports and statements that may contradict what various witnesses have said and what people have been told. This is not unusual for reports to do this given many different statements and viewpoints provided to the police during the initial investigation.
The renter (female) of the house (2641 Lynbrulee Drive) was charged with Reckless Endangerment. She stated that she shot a gun at the intruder (male) at the rental address. The report states that the female renter chased the intruder in her car on Montlake Drive. A resident in the neighborhood witnessed the female shooting out of her car window at the male who was eventually apprehended at 3824 Maloney Road. The male was booked on several charges such as aggravated assault, vandalism, evading arrest, unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm and intent to go armed dangerous felony, theft, and simple possession of a controlled substance. He is to appear in court on June 6.
As a result of this incident (thankfully no one was hurt) we now recognize the need for a “quick notice alarm” neighborhood system for any emergency or suspicious situation. We have identified a system which will allow for immediate notices going out to 1) our website e-mail, 2) a text message and 3) a Facebook message and will be working on rolling this out.
We are also beginning negotiations for the best contract pricing on additional cameras at the other two entrances whenever the Alcoa Highway project is completed.
We have also been in touch with the Knox County Sheriff’s Office to establish more details of the investigation.
In the coming weeks, we will advise you of whatever progress is made. In the meantime, your ideas and/or participation will be appreciated. If you see a need to have a community meeting at the church, please e-mail us at lakemoorhillshoapresident@gmail.com and we will set it up.

Pre-Frances KUB Checklist
Hello neighbors, in preparation for some possible outages due to hurricane Frances, C.L. would like to provide a link for your convenience to the K.U.B. Outage Center.
And more specifically the checklist for preparedness.
Here is an excerpt from the KUB Website:
How You Can Prepare for Storms
Our employees are prepared, and we want our customers to be prepared too. You can be prepared for storms by planning ahead:
- Keep emergency supplies on hand such as batteries, flashlights, a battery-operated radio, nonperishable food items, bottled water, and a charged cell phone. The Red Cross suggests including a supply of your necessary medications.
- Keep your KUB account information up-to-date, such as your phone number and e-mail address. A correct phone number will allow you to use the automated system to report your outage and check its status. You can update your contact information by logging into your account and choosing Manage Account. For additional tips, review our Power Outage Reference Guide.
- Have a plan for what you’d do in the event of a multi-day power outage. This may include getting a hotel room, or staying with friends or family.
- Have and know how to safely operate a portable generator. Be sure to follow the instructions in your owners manual, as well as these tips:
- Generators should be installed and inspected by licensed electricians. Improperly installed generators can be a safety hazard to utility workers as well as to homeowners.
- Never connect the generator to your home’s main wiring circuit. Disconnect your home from the power system before hooking up a generator. If you don’t, electricity may flow backward into the power lines, endangering you, your neighbors, and the linemen who are working to restore power.
- Locate the generator outside your home. Gasoline-powered generators can produce deadly carbon monoxide.
- Plug appliances directly into the generator. Use extension cords if necessary, but do not exceed the recommended wattage noted on the generator.
Power Outage
Here’s some news from C.L. Overman regarding the power outage that began around 6pm:
~8:45pm
Just traded emails and he is trying to find out the severity of the damage from the downed tree at Tall Pine/Montlake. Will advise.
~9:15pm:
Not good news from a KUB rep. The tree broke a cross arm so they are having to pull new primary and neutral. Making an estimate of time is just a guess. Could be a while.
