LAKEMONT SHORES, EUCHA, OKLAHOMA

Posted Nov, 2022

Several months ago, I contacted the Lawyer who is the Receiver of Lakemont Shores P.O.A.  The P.O.A still exists.  There is still a Board.  The office is closed because there are no funds to pay employees, no stamps to send out membership due payments.  You still owe membership fees and should still pay them. We wanted to buy the property next to ours, but the Lawyer doesn't recommend it.  You could buy it, but you would have to pay back taxes and go through costly fees. It would be a big costly mess. The place is very run down.  No employees to mow and keep up the facilities or roads. We haven't been to our property in a long time. Last time we went it was flooded and very overgrown.  The overgrown part is our fault.  We do not have a tractor or brush hog to clean up our property. We have weed eated a time or two just a spot to sit on. We have also cut down some trees.  But if the roads aren't kept up or the bath houses are closed, what is the use.  It is sad to see the place so run down.  I have never figured out how to get to the other divisions than my own to look around the properties that are lived on or have cabins there.  No one to show what roads to take or offered to be taken to those other divisions. The only time we asked about a property we were given a map and told to find it for ourselves.  That was before everything was shut down.  I have no idea if the P.O.A is still in court being sued for funds they do not have. I see no way out of the big mess the ones in charge caused to happen.  Not paying taxes, but saying they were paid as well as illigal logging on properties owned by the P.O.A. with the P.O.A. not getting any of the funds.  Those are the ones who should be held responsible. The leadership.  But what can I a property owner do to fix the mess and get employees back to fix stuff up and usable again?  The ones like my husband and I, have a property we can hardly get to because of bad roads and no facilities to use since we have not built on our property.  Who would want to buy it, if we decided to sell?  Property Owner in Lakemont Shores.

Update:
Hello, its me Starlight again.  I was looking back over old posts here on my blog and realized I don't think I have mentioned anything more about the Lakemont Shores POA on Grand Lake in quite some time.  I don't have any "news" to share. The last I heard the defunct P.O.A. was still in court over lawsuits.  Lakemont Shores P.O.A. did go into Receivership about 3 years ago.  I was told the property Lakemont Shores still owns was being sold for a fraction of what it was worth to pay for the lawsuits against the P.O.A.  There is no longer a P.O.A.  We still have to pay property taxes on the property we own.  The office has been closed.  There is no one to contact for questions about what is going on.  We no longer get billed membership fees.  No upkeep on the roads, no rules to keep the place nice.  The only part I like about all of this is we can now move in a mobile home or build a small cabin and it not have to be any certain size or finished by a certain time.  Whatever you build or move on to your property should still look nice, not trashy.  The property that is lived on or camped on the weekends or summer should be kept up. The P.O.A. was mowing road ways, now that isn't even being done.

Please if anyone that has property there, has any news about what is going on please contact me by an email at: oklibrarianc@yahoo.com.  

I will greatly appreciate any news that you can share.

Update: 2023
Hello today is Thursday October 19, 2023.  It would be great if someone with information of what is going on with Lakemont Shores POA  would greatly be appreciated.  The POA does still exists even though the club house and office is closed and has been for quite some time.  It had become a very trashy looking place. The boat docks, marina, camping grounds and cafe have been bought by someone and they are fixing it up.
I contacted the Lawyer who was appointed the job of Receivership to see what was going on there.  He informed me that the Lakemont Shores Property Owners Association still exists.  Still in court over lawsuits.  Is bankrupt.  I asked when the court cases would be over and I was informed not until someone steps up and becomes responsible to get it all settled.  No one is going to use their own money to settle something that was caused by the leadership.  We are still suppose to pay membership fees.  What for????  Office and Club house closed and run down.  Roads not kept in good shape or the grass mowed. No employees, no money to pay for salaries.  Everyone comes and goes as they please and moves in what they want since nothing is enforced or can be with no employees.  There is no need for rules and a POA to regulate anything.  Rules cannot be enforced and no amenities offered for fees to be charged for up keep.  We might as well own land in the middle of nowhere with no restrictions.  The POA should no longer exist.  There should no longer be a board to answer to.  I was told to look into my deed and my rights about my property.  In this situation the POA isn't the same as a HOA.  If you have a deed to your property, it is yours and the POA cannot come in and take it away from you because you don't follow the rules. I have no clue how to get this resolved. Since the POA is broke and has nothing special to offer the people who own their property, we should be able to build on the property any size of construction and finished in our time.  There shouldn't be any restrictions on whether we build or move in a prefab or mobile home.  We don't want the land around us to look trashy and run down, but what can you do about it?  Any suggestions?  Or any one willing and have the time and money to look in to the situation???

WHEN WAS THE MESSIAH BORN?

It is only natural for a person to adhere to conducts and beliefs that are biblically defensible.    Be ready always to give an answer to every man  that  asks you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear."   (1 Peter 3:15).                                 Christmas celebrations are generally observed to honor the supposed date of the birth of the Messiah.  But the facts are that Christ was not born on December 25.        " Christmas . . . was, according to many authorities, not cele-brated in the first centuries of the Christian church, as the Christian usage in general was to celebrate the death of remarkable persons, rather than the birth of Christ. ("Christmas",  Encyclopedia Americana).  How then, did the Romish Church fix on December 25th as Christmas-day?  Why, thus: long before the fourth century, a...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...
