CodeRED is no longer the mass notification used in Cherokee County. The RAVE system refers to the (Rave Alert emergency notification platform) that the county uses to send timely alerts to residents about severe weather warnings, evacuation notices, traffic alerts, and other critical information.

Subscribers of the previous mass notification system were uploaded into RAVE in an effort to ensure those who have signed up previously still received critical notifications. Those who were transferred over from CodeRED should have received an email asking them to confirm their email address. If users choose to continue to receive such alerts, they can create a Motorola Rave Alert account and customize their notifications.

New or previous subscribers can sign up for text only alerts by texting CHEROKEEEMA to 226787 or they can sign up through the portal and subscribe to voice, text, and/or email alerts. https://www.smart911.com/smart911/ref/reg.action?pa=cherokeega

C LU B BU SI N E S S MARINA PAVILION RULES

RULES OF THE LAKE

HOURS OF OPERATION The Marina Pavilion will be open dawn to dusk or during sanctioned LAYCC events.

1. All requirements set forth in the Georgia Boating Safety Act shall apply on Lake Arrowhead lakes (Lake Arrowhead and Lake Chickasaw). This includes carrying life preservers for passengers and crew.

2. Only registered watercraft displaying a current Lake Arrowhead registration decal are permitted on Lake Arrowhead lakes.

3. All watercraft operating in the northern part of Lake Arrowhead, as well as other areas with NO WAKE buoys, must use a speed that generates no wake.

4. The body of water viewed from the Marina area (a.k.a. main lake) is an all sports area. All motorized watercraft are to follow a COUNTER CLOCKWISE direction.

5. At slow speeds, traffic can go in either direction on the lake ONLY in these locations: Within 100 ft North of the dam, within 100 ft South of the Narrows "No Wake Buoys", and in the middle on an East/West straight line to/from "Honeymoon Cove."

6. All watercraft pulling people (i.e. skier, tuber, etc.) must have either two (2) persons aboard (one driver and one safety observer at least 12 years of age) or the watercraft MUST be equipped with a wide angle rear view mirror so the driver is aware of the location of the person being pulled at all times. All people being pulled MUST wear approved U.S Coast Guard life vests.

7. The number of skiers is limited to two (2) per boat at the same time. As soon as one skier drops the second skier must drop immediately thereafter. Skiers should raise one (1) ski, wakeboard, or kneeboard while in water with a slack towline to warn other boats in the area.

8. All occupants of canoes, rowboats, hydro­bikes, paddle-boats, SUPs, kayaks, etc., should wear appropriate life vests. These vessels should stay close to a shore (Georgia law requires children 10 and under to wear a life jacket at all times on a boat unless the child is in an enclosed cabin).

9. All watercraft must use running lights after sundown. Use docking lights when approaching a docking area only, they can be blinding to other boaters.

10. Swimming in the lake is not permitted in and around the Marina area other than in the designated Swimming Area. All children, below a responsible age, swimming in the lake must wear a life vest and be supervised by an adult 18 years of age or older.

11. Personal watercraft (i.e. Jet Skis, Wave Runners, SeaDoos, and eFoils) are PROHIBITED on Lake Arrowhead.

12. Drunkenness, drug use, rowdy behavior, obscene language and littering are not permitted on the lakes.

13. All powered watercraft users should slow down when passing close to anglers, non­motorized watercraft and swimmers on rafts/tubes and minimize their wakes in coves as well. Ski boats or other high speed watercraft running parallel to NO WAKE areas should move farther out from the NO WAKE buoys so that they do not produce a potentially dangerous wake in the designated NO WAKE areas.

FOOD & BEVERAGE Food and beverages are allowed to be carried onto the Pavilion. No glass bottles or beer kegs are permitted. No grilling or preparation of food is allowed. All trash must be placed in the trash receptacles on the shore.

PERSONAL CHAIRS Property owners are allowed to bring their own folding chairs on to the Pavilion. They must be taken with you when you leave, i.e. chairs cannot be left behind.

ATTIRE Members and guests shall dress in attire befitting the surroundings of the community. Extremely revealing attire, such as a thong, is not suitable for the family atmosphere of the Marina Pavilion.

NO SWIMMING No swimming is permitted from the Marina Pavilion or docks anywhere in the “No Wake” zone.

No running or diving is permitted from the Pavilion or docks.

NO FISHING No fishing is allowed from the Marina Pavilion or docks.

BOATS Boats can tie up on the side of the walkway only where there are cleats and cannot at any time tie up to the Pavilion.

Maximum time at the walkway is 1 hour (or 15 minutes if others are waiting). These areas are intended for drop off and pickup.

PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES No grilling, skateboarding, bicycles, rollerblading, sunbathing, or feeding the wildlife is permitted on the Marina Pavilion or docks.

PETS Pets are not allowed on the Marina Pavilion.

DRY STORAGE A free dry storage decal has been mailed to those who rent a space. This decal must be visible and placed on an item.

In addition each trailer, camper, RV, motorhome and watercraft must also display a current decal. If you drive it, you need a vehicle decal. If you have a trailer/camper, you need a trailer/other decal. Vehicle decals ARE available at the South Gate and all others at the Administration office. All items MUST display a current decal to continue using a Lake Arrowhead Dry Storage and Boat Slip. As a reminder, it is a violation of the covenants to park or store the following: boats, vehicles, trailers, campers, RVs, etc. on your property.

Agreements may be terminated at any time due to past due accounts. page 12

The Lake Arrowhead Lake Committee, a group of resident volunteers working under the direction of Mike Ludden (committee chairman) and Kim Jordan (LAPOA Board Member), have assembled some important lake topics: LAKE RULES / NO WAKE ZONES Rules regarding the safe operation of watercraft on Lake Arrowhead can be found in a number of different places - this magazine, Club Rules and Regulations, the LAPOA website, and finally in "Lake Information" brochures which are widely available. Our lake is small and boat traffic is growing so it is critical that all boat operators familiarize themselves with these rules. As excessive speed in NO WAKE areas remains the #1 reported concern, a modification to our "no wake" guidance has been implemented for 2026: All watercraft operating in the northern part of Lake Arrowhead, in any cove, as well as in other areas designated with NO WAKE buoys, must operate at a speed of less than 5 MPH and which generates no wake for the protection of people and property.

Additionally, in accordance with Georgia Law, boats must operate at idle (slowest forward) speed within 100 feet of any shoreline, dock, other vessel, or persons in the water. Boat operators are reminded that they are responsible for any damage caused by their wakes.

SHORELINE EROSION Boats travelling at excessive speed too close to the eastern shore of Lake Arrowhead are contributing to shoreline erosion.

Operators are reminded to maintain a safe minimum distance from shoreline (at least 100' per Georgia Law) while underway. Towing especially results in boat wakes that are larger and more destructive. Boat drivers are reminded to operate their boats as close to the center of the lake as possible to minimize shoreline damage in accordance with Lake Arrowhead policy.

BOAT & TRAILER REGISTRATION ALL boats and ALL watercraft (kayaks, canoes, paddle boats, paddleboards, waterbikes, etc), as well as trailers, are required to have a current registration sticker which must be posted on the vessel or on the paddle of an inflatable craft. Operators of motorized boats are required to provide proof of liability insurance with limits not less than $300,000 in support of their registration requests. Registration forms can be accessed on-line at lakearrowheadclub. net, or in-person at either security gate, or from the Administration office. Compliance with boat/ watercraft/trailer registration policy has been lacking in recent years. Residents are reminded that these fees, while nominal, are mandatory and help care for our most valuable community amenity. And the insurance verification required for ALL motorized boats is in place for everyone's protection.

LAYC BOAT CLUB The LAYC Pontoon Club offers an exclusive opportunity for Lake Arrowhead residents to enjoy the lake without the hassle of boat ownership. Homeowners may join the club with an annual membership commitment of $120 for the year. Membership does not renew automatically.

Enrollment is open to all property owners in good standing, providing a cost-effective way to access our fleet of well-maintained pontoon boats. The boathouse operates 4 new / nearly-new pontoon boats for exclusive use by boat club members. Do you like to fish but are frustrated with the limited areas to fish from the shore? Join the boat club and chase the big ones out in the deep water. Do you enjoy swimming in the crystal clear water of Lake Arrowhead but don't care for the crowds at the swim area? Join the boat club and cruise with your family and friends to picnic and swim in a secluded cove.

Contact the Administration office for information and to sign up. New to boating? All new memberships include free lessons (a $450 value).

BOATHOUSE SERVICES / KAYAK RACKS Capt Rob's staff is available to assist with boat rentals as well as powerboat, sailboat, and kayak instruction. In addition, 24 new kayak racks have been installed for resident rental at the marina. Contact the boathouse at boatsforrent@gmail.com for information. The boathouse is open from mid April to mid November (by rental appointment and weather permitting). And for 2026, the boathouse is modifying their hours of operation to accept rentals from 10 AM to 7 PM seven days a week - opening earlier on Sunday in response to resident requests.

SHORT-TERM RENTAL ORDINANCE CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA Cherokee County, Georgia has recently adopted an ordinance regarding short-term rentals. The full ordinance is available at cherokeega.com/ ShortTermRentalOrdinanceCherokeeCounty20210806. pdf, but we wanted to make each property owner aware of this ordinance and have highlighted a few of the key points in the ordinance.

1. The purpose of the ordinance is to establish standards for short-term rentals of privately-owned residential structures rented to transient occupants, minimize adverse effects of short-term rental uses on surrounding residential neighborhoods, and preserve the character of residential neighborhoods.

2. A certificate is required to lawfully rent, operate, or advertise any property for short-term rental. a. Owners must apply to the Cherokee County Development Services Center on an annual basis for a certificate. b. Certificates require an initial administration fee and annual renewal fees.

3. The Certificate number must be listed in any advertisement for the rental of the property.

4. No short-term rental shall offer more than five (5) bedrooms for rent.

5. The use of outdoor speakers by short-term rentals is prohibited.

6. The number of occupants shall not exceed two persons per bedroom plus two additional persons.

7. The short-term rental must have parking off the street sufficient for one car for each bedroom being rented.

Parking shall only be on designated hard surfaced areas.

8. Quiet hours are 12:00 a.m. midnight to 7:00 a.m. daily, 12:00 a.m. midnight Saturday to 1:00 p.m.

Sunday).

9. The Cherokee County Marshal’s office (678.493.4080) is tasked with enforcement of the ordinance.

ARCHITECTURAL EXTERIOR WORK POLICY

CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES On November 11, 2025, we upgraded our credit card processing system. This change was necessary to offer you an additional, more convenient payment method: ACH withdrawals directly from your bank account. As part of the transition, all previously stored credit card information has been deleted from the old processor’s secure servers.

CRITICAL ACTION REQUIRED: If you use a credit card for recurring monthly payments, you must visit or call the Administration Office at 770-721-7912 so we can re-enter your credit card information or assist you in selecting a different payment method.

We would also like to inform you of an important upcoming change: beginning January 1, 2026, a 2.95% convenience fee will be applied to all charges on accounts paid with a credit card. This fee will not appear until your account is charged on January 30, 2026. Please note that payments made by check or through the new ACH option will not incur this fee. Additionally, the convenience fee will not apply to purchases made in the Pro Shop or Grill when you pay as you go by credit card. The fee will only apply to maintenance fees and items charged to your account that are paid by credit card at the end of the month.

Please be aware that any maintenance fees paid by credit card, regardless of when the payment is made, will incur the convenience fee.

After extensive review, the LAPOA Board and LAYCC management determined that this change is necessary. The Club currently absorbs all credit card processing fees, which are projected to exceed $200,000 this year alone. Redirecting these costs will allow us to allocate more funds back into the community—most significantly toward infrastructure improvements.

When an Exterior Work Permit is approved, the owner will be sent an 8 ½ x 11 permit that shall be placed in a window on the first floor of the property. The blue permit sign indicates that work on the property was reviewed and approved by the Architectural Review Committee.

ATTENTION PROPERTY OWNERS WHO RENT OUT YOUR HOME: Please notify your tenants that all Resident Guests (all those who rent, lease, or otherwise occupy a home which they do not legally own) are required to renew. $50 PER ADULT ON THE LEASE Call Member Services at 770.721.7912 Mon-Fri 9:00am to 5:00pm for an appointment.

Resident Guests must provide a current lease. page 17

LAKE ARROWHEAD FATHER’S DAY SCRAMBLE On Saturday June 20th, Cash Burchett, Cole Burchett, Andy Burchett, and Courtney Whitehouse won the annual Lake Arrowhead Father’s Day Scramble.

The tournament rules allow non-family members to participate if the team includes at least one father/child or grandchild combo. The format of the tournament was a typical 4-person scramble where all team members hit tee shots and then select the best ball location for their next shot. This process of hitting shots and selecting the best one continues until the ball is holed out. The teams were divided into flights and prizes were given out for the first three places.

The winners were: First Flight 1st Place – Cash Burchett, Cole Burchett, Andy Burchett, and Courtney Whitehouse 2nd Place – Sean Camp, Seth Camp, Cliff Brannon, and Sean Webb 3rd Place – Kenny Allison, Daniel Allison, Todd Roberts, and Willem Cronje Second Flight 1st Place – Will Hensley, Bryce Hensley, Brandon Hensley, and Rick Salese 2nd Place – Chris Curtiss, Brady Curtiss, and Ron Travis 3rd Place – Craig Glasgow, Nic Glasgow, Payne Glasgow, and Kyle Glasgow Third Flight 1st place – Brian O’Keeffe, Natalie O’Keefe, Dennis O’Keefe, and Harrison O’Keefe 2nd Place – Garrett Atkinson, Bryan Atkinson, Gary Smith, and Peyton Smith

C OMMU N I T Y I N T E RE ST READING FOR THE AGES by Jeanne Schwartz My Not So Perfect Life | Sophie Kinsella | The Dial Press Consider this your summer read installment. It’s not a book set on a beach, but can definitely be considered a beach book for its character development and easy reading.

Cat is trying to make it in the big city. She has left her home in the country for a job in London at a branding agency, Cooper Clemmow. Cat is obsessed with branding, and believes she has a natural talent for it.

She also believes her future is in London, hob-nobbing with her boss, Demeter, and all of her [potential] clients. She lusts – well, wists, meaning wishful lusting – for Demeter’s confidence, connections, style and sophistication. That’s why she has changed her name.

She started out as Catherine, is known by her family as Katie, and now wants to transform into Cat, a much more suitable name for a young branding professional in a top ten city. This transformation is all on the inside, so far. She’s crammed into a tiny flat, making an hour and a half commute to her job in a skirt that cost $8.99, and cutting bangs she has to really work to style every day. And as for her branding job… so far she is research assistant and does nothing more than input data. Not that any of her colleagues seem to be happy with their situations. Everyone agrees that the “perfect” Demeter is a scatter-brained, inconsiderate boss with no interest in developing her team, merely doing all the design work herself.

Oh, well. Cat continues to send strategy briefs and logos and the rest to Demeter, biding her time “like a surfer waiting for a wave.” It’s been seven months already, and the only time Demeter has asked for her is for Cat to touch up her roots with a box of Clairol before a big event. As she is processing, though, Demeter’s boss Alex comes into the office to see her. Cat plays all “Special Forces” and won’t let him through. But that breaks a barrier for her, and after following him up onto the roof to test out some adult toys, Alex encourages Cat to ask to attend a staff meeting. Demeter agrees, and it seems that her career is going to finally take off page 28

to meet the Instagram life she shows off to the world.

Think again.

Shortly after a Christmas beak with her family in Somerset, Demeter lets Cat go. Clearly, Demeter’s reasons have more to do with the trouble Demeter herself is in, but no matter, and you’ll find out more about that later. Cat finds herself back at home with her Dad and Biddy, her step-mom, agreeing to help them with her Dad’s newest idea – turning Anster Farms into a glamping destination. Cat’s dad has always jumped from one money-making opportunity to another, but somehow always chooses the cheap way and fails. Biddy has been her dad’s girlfriend for years, and she is different: a quiet, persistent, sensible person.

She seems to provide the balance that is needed to give this idea a chance to flourish.

What an opportunity for Katie to flex her branding muscles! She goes “whole hog” – forgive the reference – insisting that each of the animals in the brochure be named, and that the farm needs “ high end yurts, feather duvets, fire pits, vintage-style kettles, one hundred meters of bunting, and two hundred labels reading ANSTER’S FARM JAM.” Cat is back to Katie.

“Katie is the home me. The Somerset me. A rosycheeked, curly-haired country girl who lives in jeans and wellies and a fleece…”

A brochure, a web-site, a curated experience. Ready for prime time?

Enough of the plot. You can see where it’s going. But Sophie Kinsella has a great voice, and breathes life into her characters, and so even a book that could be classified as a rom-com turns out to be a more rewarding read than you might imagine.
