Call to Order Tony Gronniger, lot 2281, called the meeting to order, held in the upper level of the clubhouse at 6:30 pm. Board members present were: Marvin McNabb, lot 28; Mike Booth, lot 2380; Allan Slavin lot 181; Troy Lesan, lot 576; Celeste Armanees, lot 62. Not present was Mark Legget, lot 72. Celeste Armanees led in prayer. Shad Mort led the Pledge of Allegiance. Tony Gronniger opened the meeting with the Vision/Mission Statement: “Lake Viking is a private lake aspiring to preserve our community and environment for future generations.” “Our members and their guests should be safe in our community.” Approval of Last Month’s Minutes Troy Lesan moved to approve last month’s minutes, Marvin McNabb seconded; motion passed.
Handbook Committee No report. Finance Committee Troy Lesan reported that the Finance Committee met on October 7th online, with 7 members & Tony Gronniger also attending. September financial statements show that we are in a good position, so not likely to end with as big a budget deficit as was projected. Shad reviewed road expenses which he will go over later in his report here. Chairman John Kmetz reviewed a conversation he is having with Westbrook on how we treat depreciation on both Financial Statements and tax returns. Paula Hepinstall added that she would like to see our office doing more classification of paid invoices, which should also streamline the work done by Westbrook. Flint Hibler asked about the annual invoicing of Campground fees. It was agreed that both Paula and Flint’s questions along with several other topics incl. online payment capabilities at the LV website will be further discussed with Westbrook this month. Currently, VVA has $2,168,483 in buckets 1 & 2 in our Morgan Stanley fund after two transfers from the fund – one to Selby Construction for the third of four payments for silt basin construction, and one to BTC Bank for operational expenses to carry us through the year. The remainder of the meeting discussed recommendations for budgeting payroll expenses that will result in the upcoming hire of a Managing Director. This recommendation will be shared tonight in the Executive Session, which is the procedure $1.00 per vote for each category set forth by VVA by-laws Best Chili, Best Soup & Best Dessert!!! for personnel matters.

VVA Board of Directors Meeting Dredge Committee Shawn Hepinstall reported: Last month, the 3 lower ponds are about to be completed-there are a few touch-ups to bring those into spec. We are aiming for Oct. 25th to be done with those ponds, then they will seed. Thursday we meet with Selby for our structured and our draining systems to start cutting those in. We have been inventorying all the pipes we will need. It’s about 3,000 ft. from our furthest point to where we will have to pump to. We will have to acquire some additional floats. We should be in good shape as we get to the end of Nov. We need to get it packed down to look at again in the spring, from a dredging standpoint. In other activities, we have cleaned out 3 feeder creeks on the east side of the lake in the last 30 days, and dipped out Three Tubes earlier. We are currently working on Pirate & Pilot to get that reconditioned, and we put drains over there. Shawn Hepinstall requested that the committee would like to add two members: Jim Miller, lot 455, and Dave Daniel. Celeste Armanees motioned to add both persons to the Dredge Committee, Mike Booth seconded; motioned passed. Congratulations, Jim and Dave! Lake Manager Report - Shad Mort 1. Portable Speed Bumps: Tony and I took a little drive and identified at least 8 areas where we feel speed bumps are needed, and assigned each as high priority vs. low priority. It’s currently a struggle to get these from any supplier. As soon as they’re available, we will also order some for the Campgrounds. These are portable/moveable, so will be put in place in the spring & removed during winter to allow snowplowing. 2. Chip & Seal Operations: As most of you have probably seen, the material is already stockpiled in the Association parking lot. We have a price quote from Vance Brothers to do 7 miles this year vs. last year we did 4.3 miles, so we are covering more this year. The price for 7 miles is at $170,750. To pay for this: we’ve already spent $110,000 out of $190,00 road fund, which leaves about $80,000 to use. The Board gave permission to use the building permit fees which has $77,000 so we still need to come up with about $11,000 to finish the payoff. This roadwork will start in about two weeks: we will start on the west side of the dam, go across the dam, on the east side of the lake over to the Altamont entrance. That is 6 miles; for the last mile, we will be going through the mobile home area on the south end, to meet up at the Garney Tract where we left off last year. After this is completed, we will be about two thirds of the way through LVTerrace. 4. Special Lake Projects: We have dug out cove ends on Community Areas #3, #7, #8, #9. We have been working at the Pirate &

LV Angler Advances to National Fishing Tournament Lake Viking angler, Will Shepherd, won first place for the state of Missouri in the Big
Bass Zone Junior Championship (BBZJC). All of Shepherd’s largemouth bass were caught at Lake Viking, with his top five fish weighing a total of 28 pounds, and individual fish ranging from 4.75 - 6.5 lbs. The BBZ tournament used a format where anglers fish independently and register their catch by taking measurements and photos of the fish and uploading them to the BBZ app. Shepherd was among the top 12% of nearly 200 anglers from across the nation to place on the leaderboard. He will advance to the BBZJC championship at Lake Taneycomo
on October 29-30, where the first place winners from all 50 states are invited to compete. Last March, Shepherd also placed fourth in the Major League Fishing High School qualifier on Table Rock Lake, which advanced him to the Major League Fishing High School National and World Championships at Lake Hartwell, South Carolina. In August, Shepherd and his partner placed third in the Lake Viking Bass Tournament. Shepherd, 16, is the son of Todd and Vicki Shepherd of lot 660, from Overland Park, KS. He can often be found fishing on Lake Viking from sunrise to sunset.

Autumn Journal
By Troy Lesan Autumn is a special time of the year around
Lake Viking, and the Activities Committee scheduled two more fun social events at the clubhouse for members during the fall season. On September 25, the decorating skills of the committee were on full display at The Fall Wine Festival. Thanks to Mano’s Wine for the generous donation. . . And, on October 9, it was Beer & Brats for Octoberfest, with the brew provided by Levi Garrison & Sons. Autumn also means some great trips cross country trips for Association Members. Mike Booth and family went in their camper to Maine, specifically the Bar Harbor area – and as they were returning, Flint and Mary Hibler and their group that included 5 travel campers was headed for the same destination. Wonder if they passed each other on the highway? Also included in their trip were the sights of Cape Cod, Plymouth Rock, Niagara Falls and Vermont. Meanwhile intrepid World Traveler Sue Wolfe was hiking and enjoying the scenery in the mountainous terrain of . . . Serbia! Then, after her return she took in the spectacular countryside around Ouray Colorado including the famous “Million Dollar Highway” that snakes through the Rockies en route to that remote little town. One might wonder if she passed Jeff Hower on the highway, as he traveled the same area, but that’s doubtful. Jeff prefers to tour the extreme back roads on his motorcycle. “I like to go plac-
es where most people wouldn't and don't even know they exist.” That’s an understatement. Past readers of this newspaper are familiar with the epic back roads motorcycle trips that Jeff has taken. Between Jeff and Sue Wolfe, they could publish volumes about their travels. Actually, they have. Jeff has written many articles about his adventures for motorcycling journals, and Sue has a special website loaded with her travel pictures. Sue, by the way, is planning a trip to Africa (Botswana and Zimbabwe) in November. . . and who knows where Jeff will go next. These are just a few of the great travel adventures taken by Lake Viking Association Members.
Barn Jeff finds the outta the way places.

Not to be forgotten, Mike & Sherry Krehbiel celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on a gulf cruise outside of Port Aransas, Texas.
Flint & Mary Hibler taking in the rugged coastline of Maine.
A busy month for Sue. She actually hiked this rugged area in the Babin Zub mountain range of Serbia.

Tips and Tricks for a safe Halloween Ÿ A responsible adult should accompany young children on the Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ Ÿ
Ÿ Ÿ
neighborhood rounds. If older children or teenagers are going out alone, plan and review a route that you feel is safe and acceptable for them to follow. Agree on a specific time older children and teenagers should return home. Teach your children never to enter a stranger’s home or car. Instruct children to travel only in familiar, well-lit areas and stick with their friends. Carry a flashlight with you to ensure that you are visible when walking from house to house. Tell your children not to eat any treats until they return home. Avoid eating any homemade treats given to you by strangers. Children and adults are reminded to put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street. Always look both ways before crossing the street.

Engineer Pass. Another spill came later in the trip on a particularly difficult area of Hagerman Pass, west of Leadville, elevation 12,000 feet. Yep, that was another rough stretch – but what an exciting heartpounding journey. There is no other scenery quite like the mountains of Colorado –especially on the back trails and country roads. On the final part of the epic 7 day journey Jeff and his brothers followed the Colorado River to Steamboat Springs, then through 34 miles of another very rough and rocky stretch, mostly in first gear. The trip concluded on Hwy 14 through the spectacular Pou-
Speaking of taking the back roads Jeff Hower has seen em all on his motorcycle. This “crash” picture, also taken in Colorado is evidence of the type of roads he likes to travel. More and more Lake Viking Association Members are taking advantage of the opportunities to be found with Travel Campers. The journeys described on page 12 included some that were rigorous than others. In Jeff Hower’s case, he prefers a mode of travel that is an entirely different universe known as “Back Country Discovery.” Jeff’s trip, was on his BMW motorcycle, which he has ridden on so many riding adventures around the nation and the world. His two brothers were in a jeep. The Colorado backcountry trail they travelled extends from the Four Corners area of Colorado all the way to the Wyoming border. Jeff and his brothers began their journey at Ouray, which is in the Durango Silverton area. The “Million Dollar Highway” to Ouray Colorado is a well-known and exciting route. The highway is perilous enough with 5 MPH switchbacks, hairpin curves, and precipitous grades that reveal breathtaking scenery. But travelling this route on a motorcycle over the rocky, bumpy, and often rut-filled and pot-holed off roads, is much more of a challenge. The terms terrifying, exhaustive, and death defying are not exaggerations. The routes, filled with loose gravel and rocks - ranging from the size of grapes to grapefruits -, create a clear and present danger of losing control, spinning out, and even plummeting over the mountain side. On a particularly challenging leg of the journey known as the Engineer Pass, Jeff took a spill, as the above picture shows. This crash was not altogether surprising. The “Back Country Discovery” trails are full of other travelers, each with maps, GPS devices such as sophisticated Garmin Satellite Communicators that allow groups of travelers to monitor each other, but more importantly – stories to tell. Jeff had heard about the perils of

dre Canyon and on to the last campsite near Fort Collins. They took this trip in September. Any later in the year would have availed the threat of snowstorms that block the mountain passes and, as one might imagine, make camping in tents very difficult. A few weeks later, and this trip might have been disastrous. It was already challenging, but the challenge is all part of the exhilarating adventure of “Ectreme Back Country.”
