info on power outage in the neighborhood
This is information from C.L. Overman, KUB Chair for LHHA:
The power has been out in Lakemoor Hills since, approximately, 1:00 pm this afternoon. 350+ homes are without power but service is being restored gradually. KUB hopes to have all power resumed by 4:00 pm this afternoon but the continued storms and winds could cause additional disruption. If anyone sees a downed power pole, limb on lines, etc., please call 524-2911 and go through the automated response system. At the end, select #7, give your account number or phone number listed on your account, and submit the information you have. This will help KUB target the problem areas assisting them to restore power quickly.

2 Lost Dogs
I came down Montlake about 15 minutes ago and there were 2 medium to large dogs running around the road. They belong to somebody because they both had on collars and tags. One looked solid black and the other mostly black with a little brown. They were running around looking for their home. I stopped, but didn’t get out of the car and they came running up to my car. They were in the area about mid-way on Montlake. I hope they are already home, but if they aren’t maybe this will help them get home.

Bluegrass and Breakfast for Supper at the Church
BLUEGRASS AND BREAKFAST-FOR-SUPPER:
The Lake Hills Presbyterian Church has invited the entire community to participate and enjoy bluegrass and breakfast on Sunday night, March 5, at 6:00 pm at the Church. Bring a breakfast dish to share (potluck). Drinks are provided.
After eating, the Misty River Bluegrass Band will give a concert. They are an outstanding band who also perform a couple of times a year at Blackberry Farm. It is a great opportunity for fellowship, good food and fun.
If you have questions, contact Suzan Bowman at 865-579-9001.
Mulch
Nancy Jones has posed a question about mulch. To my knowledge, there is no group rate for mulch but I’m sure Nancy (and maybe others) would appreciate any suggestions.
From: Nancy Jones <[email protected]>
Subject: Mulch
Message Body:
Is there a nursery that works with the Homeowners Associaton to provide a group rate for mulch? If not, where does the best place seem to be to purchase large amounts of mulch? We are starting to get our yard ‘beautified”!
Thank you,
Nancy J
PLEASE SLOW DOWN
In response to your concerns, a group of neighbors is working to make our neighborhood safer. You will likely see an increased presence of the Knox County Sheriff’s Department in the next few weeks. If you live at the far side of the neighborhood, it adds only two minutes to go the speed limit. It’s worth it.
Fire Protection in Lakemoor Hills
Most residents of Lakemoor Hills are not City of Knoxville residents, do not pay city taxes, and therefore do NOT have fire protection unless they subscribe to the service that Rural Metro offers. At our last homeowners’ meeting we learned that Rural Metro will respond to a fire in our neighborhood whether that family has subscribed to fire protection or not. If you are a subscriber, the visit is free. If you do not subscribe, the fee is $1,500 per truck per hour. Multiple trucks are typically dispatched. The average cost charged to the homeowner to put out a fire is $8,000. If you do not subscribe to fire protection, then it is time to do it. Don’t gamble on never having a visit from the fire department. That is a costly mistake. Here is a document that will give you information on their service.rural metro
Alcoa Hwy: February 7, 2017
Contract CNQ029 Alcoa Highway SR 115 (US 129)
February 7, 2017 Project Update
The Maloney Road roundabout on the east side of Alcoa Highway (near Sevier Heights Baptist Church) is open to traffic. Traffic can access the roundabout on 3 of 4 legs (the 4th being the leg on the Maloney Road where the bridge over Alcoa Hwy. will be constructed). Traffic was allowed access on Friday, February 3, 2017.
Excavation and fill activities are taking place on both sides of Alcoa Hwy. Trucks can be seen hauling material from cut slopes to fill areas on the east side between Barber Hill Rd. and Mount Vernon Rd. as well as on the west side between the large cut slope and Montlake Dr. Drainage structures are also being installed in these areas as well as near Woodson Drive.
Welcoming Committee
The Welcoming Committee of LHHA is “welcoming” new members to help visit the newest members to our neighborhood. It’s easy, it’s fun and you are the perfect one to do it! So please come to our meeting this Thursday, February 2nd at 7:00 PM in the Courtyard Room at the church. We would love to have you. Spring is a time that many people move in so we will be happy to have a few more visitors. If you would like to do this, please join us.
Thanks,
Geri
BEAUTIFICATION IDEA – New Flowering Trees & Shrubs
Blount County Soil Conservation is holding their 2017 Annual Fundraiser and offering bare root trees and shrubs at very low prices. If your dogwood trees are over 20 years old, they may be more susceptible to disease and insects. Lakemoor Hills will be the featured trail again (when our entry gets completed) for the Dogwood Arts Festival. This is an excellent opportunity to get some new flowering plants started in your yard. The deadline is February 17, 2017 to place an order. 
I think it’s working now…
Back in November I had attempted to set up an autopost to Facebook feature on the site. It turns out there was a bug that was preventing the site from posting to our private group. If I’ve done this correctly – this post will show up on Facebook AND the site.

P.S. This IS a test.
