November 11 - A coyote was seen prowling Bayshore Lane last night, and recently a cat was seriously attacked ($1000 damage), although we're not sure if the attack was from a coyote or from a racoon. In any event, it would be good practice to keep your pets inside.

The Lake Forest Yacht Club is saddened to report the death of one of its long time members, Dennis K. Bethke. He passed away this last February while on a nationwide RV trip with his wife, Darla. Dennis was a good friend, a great neighbor, dedicated family man, and for six years served as Commodore of the Yacht Club.
He was an excellent Commodore whose leadership not only expanded and improved the Yacht Club, but also had a profound effect on our entire community. He believed the lakes should be more available and accessible to everyone in the association and worked tirelessly to do so. He was instrumental in bringing about great improvements in the Christmas and July 4th holiday events at the club. He was first to call for an evaluation of the quay walls, waterfowl population, fish condition, and overall lake appearance, reminding us of its importance in property values. Under his guidance the club initiated the Christmas Decorating Contest for the lakefront homes and boats, which was later duplicated for all the homes in the association. He was instrumental in initiating the Christmas Boat Rides for all association members. His most enduring legacy will do doubt be his leadership in the successful program to re-name our area Hidden Lakes.
If you have ever participated in these events or enjoyed any of our parades you have felt some of his far reaching impact. It was a joy to call Dennis our friend and his great enthusiasm, for life in this wonderful place we live, will be sorely missed.
