Posted 2-20-12 On Wednesday evening February 15, the Townhome Association hosted a meet the Candidates Night, and Water Testing Report Meeting. Pizza, beverages and dessert were served as residents listened to a power point presentation by Terry Vander Meersch and Marc Mueller. Terry represented John A. Raber and Associates and Marc Mueller from McHenry Analytical Laboratories in McHenry, IL, who performed various tests on two Townhomes at Whispering Lake. Both presenters gave a history of our well, which we share with the Pines Condos on the property. We were referred to the website of Whispering Lakes Water Supply, Northbrook, IL., which provides historical facts and information about our water system. Both men gave their qualifications and their duties in their fields. The lab presenter discussed the various tests performed on water systems and the schedules of testing that is required of water operators by the EPA. He also discussed what tests exist and the reasons for these tests. The lab presenter discussed the results of the Coliform Test performed at one house which proved satisfactory. He stated that the other test performed at another house was a Radium test , whose results take several weeks to process. As soon as those results are in, the Lab will contact the Board. The presenters answered questions about the cost of these tests and the safety of the water at Whispering Lake. The presenters assured the residents on the basis of these two tests, the water is satisfactory to drink. They recommended a Brita house filter attached to your kitchen faucet. They cautioned residents about reverse osmosis systems and did not recommend them. At the close of the evening the three candidates were introduced. They are: Les Cieplinski, Jackie Petit and Ray Reilly. Their bios were sent in the mail as well as the ballots for the residents to vote. Election night and the Annual Meeting are Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 7:00 P.M. at the Clubhouse. Be sure to vote and attend the meeting. See you there!

Posted 6-3-09 Roofing Update; Roofing project phase 2 has stared. Building #6 is scheduled for a new roof. Mike overseeing roofing vendor Posted 5-28-09 Deck Staining Project Update; Please be advised that the deck staining project has started. Please make sure that all items are taken off your decks. The deck staining project should take approximately 4 to 5 weeks, weather permitting. If you have any questions, please contact us at (847) 498-6000. Thank you for your cooperation. Posted 5-27-09 Mulch Update; Mulch will arrive Wednesday, June 3rd. Using the Gator, we will be putting it in piles throughout the property. We can use all the help we can get in the days following it's arrival, piling and spreading the Mulch. Even if it's just a couple hours. No skill or expertise required. Just hunt down Brad, Doug or Mike, or find a pile and start spreading it under trees and bushes. Older kids welcome. We are saving several thousands of dollars doing it with homeowner volunteers. Posted 1-23-09 Roofing Update; The roofing project phase 1 is complete, the last of the gutters have been installed, and we received a letter from Michael's roofing apologizing for the delay. The problem was that a few days when they came out to work on the gutters some of the roofing materials were frozen to the roof, they did not want to damage the new shingles so they had to wait until we had a few days of good weather to complete the project. They have agreed to postpone the final inspection until spring to ensure that there are no concerns that come up during the winter. Phase two will begin this spring or summer after a new inspection of the remaining roofs, this will make sure that we are doing the ones with the greatest needs. This year two or three more buildings will be done depending on financial considerations. Deck Project Updates; Our contractors are working towards a completion date of 01/30/2009. Despite the weather, we have experienced, Azteca has continued to make great strides on completing the project. If your stairs & deck areas have been completed we ask that you move any items that you had moved off the decks and on to the grassy areas be moved back to on your decks. I think everyone should agree that the repairs made have greatly improved the safety of all our decks. The new stairs and handrails installed on each deck are much sturdier and safer. We may have a couple of issues with pavers or bricks that may have to wait until spring to resolve because the ground has become frozen to deep to work on. Lights and Gates for the decks; If you have ordered or previously had a gate or a lighting system for your deck area, the new gates have been made and installation will begin on 01/23/2009. Lights will be the following week weather permitting. For those that have not ordered gates or lights please call Debbie Nissen at 847-498-6000 prior to 01/27/2009 to place your order. Debbie has a list of those we are replacing and those that have ordered the options. Deck Staining: Bids will be sought in late May or early June. We need to ensure that the wood we have replaced has time to properly season prior to staining all the decks. We apologize that for the first part of the spring and summer that the decks will not be matching. We hope to have the staining project complete by the 4th of July. Once this is complete the decks will once again match and look their best. Posted 1-7-09 The Townhome Projects are drawing to a close. The Roofing Project by Michael's Roofing is nearing completion. Buildings #3, #10 and #11 were finished recently. The new gutters are on Building #3 and weather permitting Buildings #10 and #11 will be completed in the near future. The Townhome Deck rebuilding project by Azteca Inc. is almost finished. The final decks on Building #15 are scheduled to be completed weather permitting by January 18, 2009. The weather has co-operated in the last week enabling the workmen to meet their deadlines. Staining will take place in August of 2009. The wood needs to cure before the decks are stained. As the winter weather progresses and more snow continues to fall, residents are reminded to park their cars in their garages if possible. This enables the snow plows and bob cats to clean more efficiently and the driveways will be free of snow build up. Please be considerate of your neighbors and remove cars when there is a snow fall of 2 (two) inches or more when the snow plows are out. These common sense suggestions help the snow plow vendors provide you with better service to all of us. Residents are also reminded that the Veolia Refuse service is removing garbage every Tuesday morning from 7:00 A.M. on. All boxes are to be crushed and garbage tote lids are to be closed, in order to prevent trash from blowing around.

Roofing project date projections Posted 11-12-08 Roofing project update! Waiting on the permits to be issued, we believe they should still begin next week. See the Roofing project date projections Decking Project: We have met with the inspectors from Lake County Zoning & Permits Division, The first 41 decks with the new stairs and other upgrades will begin either this Friday the 14th or possible Monday the 17th. The first of the supplies should be delivered on Thursday the 13th. The remaining 43 decks getting the major repairs should have any required permits issued by the end of the week, allowing the work to be started on those decks within a day or two after permit issue. In regards to the permits: In talking with the county inspectors, any permits issued will be posted on the bulletin board near the clubhouse. This is a central location for the inspectors and residents to be able to view and allows the permits to be placed in an area that won't be affected by any rain or snow during the project. Deck gates or lights options available. The gates will be designed to swing in away from the stairs for safety. The lights are very similar to those found around the pool. They will be mounted under the railing and can easily be set-up to accommodate a timer or light sensor. Unfortunately they are not solar powered. If you are interested in either of these options for your deck, you need to contact Debbie Nissen at Berkson and Sons at 847-498-6000. Originally we needed the response prior to 11/12/2008, but will extend that to 11/19/2008. Posted 11-7-08 At our last board meeting the board approved two additional projects for this year. Click to read all about it. Many decks will be rebuilt from the grid up & not replaced. All others will have new stairs and other improvements. Click to see the list of decks to be rebuilt.

Posted 4-20-12 For the love of wildflowers... and golf Heiden Gardens resident Paul Voykin was honored this past October by being inducted into the Illinois Golf Hall of Fame. A former Briarwood Country Club Superintendent in Deerfield, Paul was honored for his many contributions in developing natural, environmentally-friendly golf courses. With over 47 years at Briarwood, he initiated the practice of planting wild perennial grasses and wildflowers, while standing firm in his belief that chemicals and fertilizers should be used minimally. This practice became the tenet of other superintendents across the country and earned Paul the PGA induction. Paul is the author of several best-selling books, "A Perfect Lawn the Easy Way" and "Ask the Lawn Expert", and has been a guest speaker at many golf maintenance seminars. He also can be found playing poker on "Poker Nights" at Whispering Lake and dining at his favorite restaurant, Sushi Kushi.

Posted 6-8-11 Dateline: Lake Bluff, IL June 6, 2011 An amazing discovery has the archeological community reeling with unbridled joy. While tearing down the old Whispering Lake Homeowners Association pool shed, Mr. Douglas Kornfeld discovered parts of the original Whispering Lake "Townhome for Sale" sign. The sign was erected in 1994 by Vilas Development and was removed in 1996. This discovery of this long forgotten relic is considered on a par with the discovery of King Tut's Tomb in 1923. Apparently former handyman & general contractor, Ed DeMarco, had used parts of the sign to make pool shed shelves. "Ed didn't like to throw crap away," remarked Mr. Kornfeld. "He used everything". The remaining parts of the sign are being considered for a future "Whispering Lake Museum of History". Other exhibits under consideration include old clubhouse furniture & stains from the original clubhouse carpet. Posted 5-23-11 We will take pool pass pictures one more day.

The Library is located at 2100 Argonne Drive in North Chicago. Staff from the Tollway, contractor and construction management team will be available to answer questions and explain project details. All residents and city officials are invited to attend. Posted 5-11-10 Wetland Restoration Project The Illinois Tollway is conducting a Wetland Restoration Project on a 160-acre site owned by the State of Illinois in North Chicago. The site is located just south of Buckley Road (IL Route 137) between IL Route 41 and IL Route 43 and east of the Tri-State Tollway (I-94). The location was chosen due to the presence of State protected species as well as high quality wetlands in need of restoration. This work is part of the Tollway's $6.3 billion Congestion-Relief Program - Open Roads for a Faster Future. Construction Update (5-5-10) Work began in spring 2010 with removal of invasive woody vegetation. Work will continue into winter and the Tollway will manage and monitor the site until 2015.

Mike Cloud 847-668-7686 Posted 9-2-09 Paving Project Update; The Umbrella Board's latest project is a driveway/cul-de-sac improvement. Lake Shore Paving company has been employed to replace the combined driveway and roadway in front of Building #15 (13323-13333) and the end driveways of Building #16 (13321-133313). This project will improve drainage and low standing spots that would collect water previously. Work began on Tuesday, Sept. 1st and was completed same day. The Umbrella Board continues to monitor and repair our driveways and roadways as needed. Each year sections of the property are assessed and money is budgeted for these projects on a need be basis. Your Umbrella Board is working hard to evaluate what needs to be done on the property whether it be landscaping or roadways to provide an updated look and also to insure the utmost in safety for homeowners. Posted 8-10-09 Clubhouse improvements / A huge thanks goes out to Art Heppner. Art has worked long hours donating his time rewiring the clubhouse and installing the new fixtures. Thanks you Art!! Posted 6-25-09 Clubhouse gets new railing on balconies Posted 5-26-09 Our landscaper has recently repaired many areas of the property that were damaged by plows/salt. They have placed topsoil and seed in the damaged areas. Please water any area near you as often as possible. Posted 5-3-09 Spring Pool Cleanup Spring Pool Cleanup 5-3-09 Posted 4-16-09 Spring has sprung around Whispering Lake! Let's start with all the new improvements, starting with the new Clubhouse Roof. The Clubhouse has a brand new roof as of the first week of April. Midwest Roofing completed the project in less than a week. Great weather prevailed as all the the previous roofs were removed and new shingles were installed around the Rotunda and the flat section of the building received a new covering. The clean up was thorough and Board members were satisfied with the final product. If you have been taking a stroll around the property, a jog around or been driving by in your car, you will notice a cleaner look. That is because our new landscaping company DiVinci Landscaping from Des Plaines, Illinois has been busy with the Spring Clean-Up. Our new landscaping company was eager to clean and spruce up much of the fall and winter build up of leaves and debris from all the past year. There were several crews out for a number of days grooming the property in preparation for the new growth that spring brings. We look forward to the new ideas and suggestions that they will bring to the property. Posted 3-4-09 Please return Whispering Lake library materials on time. We are missing several VHS tapes. If anyone has any DVDs they no longer want please donate to the library. Just leave them on the table. Thanks... Any Questions? Email Mike Cloud Posted 3-2-09 The common courtesy of removing dog feces when your dog relieves itself would be appreciated. Please keep our property looking it's best. Thank-You ! Posted 1-11-09 Winter weather came in this last week-end with a bang! Drifting snow was all you could see last Friday night and it continued to snow into Saturday afternoon. Snow crews were out diligently cleaning with bobcats, full-sized plow trucks and snow shovels. The property got a clean sweep as crews kept up with the snow as it fell. The streets were cleared in no time, as no time was lost with this snow fall. The management team should be congratulated on this snow removal, because every sidewalk, driveway, and roadway was "whistle clean". Good job guys! The property continues to be monitored by Doug and the "Gator". A big thank-you goes out to him. Keep up the good work Doug! Posted 11-12-08 Our New Gator Utility Vehicle Nov. 2008 Posted 10-24-08 The Umbrella Board has formed the Budget Review Committee to formulate next year's budget 2009-2010. Treasurer Ray Reilly is the head of this committee along with volunteers Carrie Taylor, Les Cieplinski, Art Hepner,and President Brad Petit overseeing. New move-in and move-out rules are being written. The non-usage of PODS ( Portable on Demand Storage) will be included as well as a security deposit required of new residents. All moves will be co-ordinated by the Management Company David Berkson and Sons. Paper work will be drawn up by the Board members and be sent out to the residents for review. Thirty day notice is required for residents to review. They are voted upon by the Board. New locks for the Clubhouse Entrance will be installed, as well as a panic bar for the front door. Twenty non-duplicated keys will be manufactured. The bathroom in one of the two Clubhouse Apartments will be repaired. Tub and tile repairs will take place. A new Gator Compact Series Utility Vehicle (garden tractor) is to be purchased by the Umbrella Association with a plow for Doug to plow snow off the sidewalks of the Condominiums and Clubhouse areas this coming winter. This will facilitate snow removal and save us money in the long run. This will take some of the pressure off the budget by dropping snow sidewalk removal out of the snow contract with Brickman Landscaping Company. Brickman will continue to plow the driveways of the Townhomes and shovel Townhome sidewalks also.
