Caladiums for Beautiful Gardens

Caladiums for Beautiful Gardens

by

The Lakemoor Hills Garden Club is selling beautiful Caladiums.  We planted over 700 bulbs several months ago and they are now ready to sell.  The money raised goes to garden club projects at the Legacy Park and the new roundabouts at Alcoa Highway.

Caladiums are easy to grow in landscape beds and containers.  They like a little shade, but will grow in sun.   Shop early for best selection.  We have several varieties: Red Fancy Leaf, White Fancy Leaf and Pink Fancy Leaf.

5 plants for $20.00…..or $5.00 each.  Call 579-9001 and leave your order.  We will be selling them in the neighborhood, and let your friends outside of Lakemoor Hills know as well.  These are quality plants and much better than what you find at the big box stores.

Thank you!

Radar sign test phase

LHHA Traffic Safety Task Force

Our radar speed sign has been located on Maloney northbound just past the church. The sign is adjacent to the community Christmas tree.

The sign company is going to adjust for [adjusted] the sign for proper operations today or tomorrow [May 23rd or 24th]. We will let it run a couple of days at that location to iron out the kinks.

Lakemoor Hills Presb. Church was helpful to provide the location as we cannot locate it on street right-of-way. Other good neighbors have provided spots for the sign along Montlake both downhill and uphill. We could use a couple more sites along Maloney if any kindly neighbor would like to volunteer a nice open site. The traffic engineer turned down one volunteered Maloney site for being too close to the road. If you would like to volunteer your yard, please give me a call and I’ll drop by to take a look.

Thanks again for your assistance and support.”

Radar Speed Signs Arriving

Once the tubes are placed for a few days and in a continued effort to keep our neighborhood streets safe, the LHHA Traffic Safety Task Force will be locating a radar speed sign at various locations along our two main roads. We are renting the sign for a limited period of time to determine feasibility for long-term use.

We will be testing the sign in initial locations starting this week (Wk of May 21) to iron out the kinks. It will simply state the speed limit (30 MPH) and your speed. It will provide a learning experience for us all.

The Knox County traffic engineer will analyze the data once we run the sign for a few weeks to determine the effect of the signs.

We will then have hard data to help us determine whether further use of the signs is warranted.

Dependant on the outcome, we may run another pilot after school starts in the fall.

Please note that the sign is very expensive and that your neighbors and the LHHA is paying for the rental and is responsible for the sign.

Please remember the importance of traffic safety in our neighborhood for all residents. School is out now or soon so more of our kids and grandkids will be home.

Comments, questions, suggestions, etc?

Thanks to all for your cooperation and assistance.

Lakemoor Hills Homeowners Meeting – Tues, May 15, 7 PM

by

We will hold our last homeowners meeting at Lake Hills Church on Tuesday, May 15 at 7 PM.  At this meeting we will hold elections for new officers for 2018-2019.  We will also take a little time to address upcoming issues and get your input on what programs you would like to hear when we return in the fall.  Please join us for our last get together before the summer break.

Circle Lake Park…WOW

by

The walking trail is in and beautiful. Go take a stroll, dig deep and make a donation so the project can be completed.  If your home is walking distance from the park your home’s value is going up a minimum of  $24,000. Average is 8% to 20%. We only need a handful of people to donate $5,000 or more. Or we need a bucket full to donate $1,000. Or a tote sack full to donate $500.  You get the idea! With a 24,000 windfall you should go large. Send your generous donation to Lakemoor Hills Resource Council. PO Box 10435, Knoxville  37939.
