February From the General Manager, Mark Reid
More and more these days, I find myself taking a moment to quietly recite to myself the Serenity Prayer. It keeps me balanced as covid, inflation, and angst significantly affect our lives in the present moment. I will be the first to admit that two years (and counting) of Covid sucks. Runaway inflation sucks. But our mission throughout has been, and continues to be, to embrace the suck and move forward in a calm, smart, and methodical way that keeps the Association on the charted path. This was created by the developers in a Master Plan 50 years ago and memorialized in our Declarations of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. Over the past 50 years there have been moments similar to this such as previous times of inflation, pandemic, and even war. We have the benefit of being able to look back and see how the Association performed during times of Inflation and Pandemic. Most notably was the runaway inflation of the period of 1977 through 1982. In 1977 inflation jumped up to 6.45%. This was followed by a steady increase over the next few years until it peaked in 1980 at 13.5%. Then inflation steadily declined to 6.16% in 1982 before staring a trend of low inflation beginning in 1983. During this period, the Association raised dues in 1977 to 26.75%, as they were struggling to keep up with the costs of a growing community and inflation was at their doorstep. This was followed by a 20% increase in 1977, another 20% increase in 1979, a 15% increase in 1980, and finishing the period with a 15% increase in 1983.

January Maintenance Update
22 December Community Service Report
After this historically difficult period of inflation, history shows that the following years, up to 2015, were met with a majority of zero (0%) dues increases which precluded the Association from meeting their reserve obligations. With the benefit of historical knowledge, we now follow a formula in our By Laws that keep us on track and prepared for times like these. History also shows us that both inflation and pandemics run their course in due time. So as my internal voice recites “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference.” It reinforces the belief that we live one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time because better days are ahead.

From the Boardroom Kathleen Heydon, Board President
Lakewood Property Owners Association
I would like to direct everyone who has questions in regard to our dues increase, to The December Ripples. Dave Petet our LPOA/LHC Treasurer, wrote an excellent article regarding this matter that explains how and why we made our decision on dues increase. Mark Reid wrote a Ripples article in October inviting residents to a public budget meeting for the year 2022. In the September Ripples, Mark explained that the July Consumer Price Index came in at 5.4% which would be the number that we would use in our Maximum Assessment Calculation.
Actions taken January 13, 2022
Also, in the December Ripples, all residents were notified that User Fees for 2022 would remain flat with a zero increase; the Board approved this in their October meeting. We approved in light of the dues increase and the recommendation from the Finance Committee. Our 2022 “base dues” are $159.09 per month, operating expenses are $124.09, and Capital Projects are $35.00. Residents that live in certain parcels, and multifamily residents pay additional dues, per their covenants. In 2015, I sat on a board that made the decision to have a professional reserve study for our community. I am proud to say that all the boards, since that year, have followed the guidelines and in 2022 we will have Reserve Contributions of $761,882.00 bringing the total to a little under 2 million by the end of 2022. This is a big deal! We are in a better place to protect against unexpected and anticipated costs. If we don’t have reserves, residents face the potential of even higher dues and special assessments. The management, staff, residents, and board do not like the concept of “deferred maintenance.” It comes with safety issues and higher costs later down the road. Maintenance is very important and often it makes it hard to add improvements. Lakewood has miles of common ground and numerous amenities, which always creates a juggling act; needs versus wants. With the recommendation from both the Finance Committee and Facilities Development Committee, two wants are on schedule for 2022...a new 3-court pickleball facility and a new play park at the East Lake pool facility. We live in a good, strong community and we should be proud. ”There are risks and costs to action...but they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.” John F Kennedy

Myths & Legends Of Lakewood
Myth #1 Common Ground “I can walk all the way around Lakewood Lake if I want to, the entire shoreline is common ground.” & “I can fish from the bank all the way around the entire lake on the common ground.”
BOTH FALSE Although there are vast areas of the common ground that are shoreline, many areas are private property. For instance almost all of the shoreline in the Shores parcel is private property. Lakewood residents are welcome on common ground areas, but cannot use private property without the owner’s permission. If you have questions about a particular area it’s a good idea to ask the LPOA Community Services. Look up the Jackson County Parcel Viewer for a closer look (https://jcgis.jacksongov.org/parcelviewer/).

The Lee’s Summit Police Department offers a House Watch to be used when you are out of town. If you wish to be added to their Houser Watch List, please contact LSPD at 816.969.1700. Don’t forget to contact your LPOA Community Service Staff at 816.373.1500 so they can keep an extra eye on your property, as well.
Storage Notice On January 13, 2022, the LPOA Board of Directors reviewed the condition of the dry storage lot located at the end of Maybrook Road. As the facility has exceeded its life cycle and would require a substantial amount of funds in order to rebuild it to current city codes and meet member expectations, the Board ultimately passed a motion to discontinue its use, as of 12/31/22.

Mary Duryea, MD Yoga Instructor/Author Author: Patti Browder
Lakewood Artist Series
A place to present artists of all kinds and mediums. Well known to yoga enthusiasts around Lakewood, Mary Duryea, has taught yoga classes for residents since 2011. Retiring from a medical career in 2005, Mary decided to make teaching yoga a second career. She holds credentials to teach with the Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 and also is certified as a yoga therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (C-IAYT). Mary has taught classes in many local venues, but since COVID, her classes have been exclusive to Lakewood. Over the years of practicing and studying yoga, Mary personally embraced it into her lifestyle for its physical health benefits. Creating her own healthy, active life and enabling others to find ways for yoga to improve their own self health care, inspired Mary to write the book Yoga as Integrated Medicine, Yoga Sutras Meet Grays Anatomy. Mary wanted to pass on her knowledge of yoga from the viewpoint of a family practice physician and to educate healthcare providers and yoga practitioners about how and why yoga works.
"My body, mind, and soul treasure this precious gift of life with its ups and downs, unfolding moment by moment. I invite you to explore the teachings of yoga, then to integrate the practice of yoga into your lifestyle."
Through this book, Mary hopes to leave something of herself in writing for her children and grandchildren. Mary’s book is available through https://booklocker. com/12117 and other online bookstores. Mary moved to Lakewood in 1992. She has three adult children, Karl, Kelsey, and Tessa and one grandson Leo. Mary and her husband, Ed Kraemer, enjoy many different activities around the water in Lakewood, and embrace the friendliness of the people who live here. Mary spends time with nature whenever possible, including gardening at Unity Vegetable Garden as a volunteer. Mary’s yoga classes are listed in the Ripples, and anyone is welcome to join at any level. Come on up and join Mary’s yoga students on their way to a healthier way of being in the world. “Instead of no pain, no gain, yoga is about nurture, not torture.”

We receive an individual check from your bank that is mailed through the U.S. Postal system. Most of these checks do not come from your local bank but from the State that your bank’s main banking system is out of.
