LAND HARBOR HONORS
BOBBY HICKS
Time to start thinking about electing
directors to POA Board
By Rick Hammell
Land Harbor Board of Directors declared Saturday,
June 9, 2007 “Bobby Hicks Day” and honored
Bobby Hicks for his 30 years of service to our
community. At the Saturday BOD Information
Meeting at the Recreation Center, Bobby was
recognized and the Land Harbor Maintenance
Facility was named “Bobby Hicks Maintenance
Facility.” Shown above are Bobby and his wife,
Sharie, at the meeting. Please turn to page 39 for
more photos of Bobby at the Maintenance Facility.
It is that time of year again when thoughts turn to
electing three directors to the Land Harbor Board of Directors. It is also a very good time to turn your thoughts
toward volunteering your services to the community by
running for a board seat. Bylaws allow any POA member
in good standing to be a candidate. This is your opportunity
to contribute to the betterment of Land Harbor if you feel
your particular talents are needed.. Serving is rewarded by
the good that you do and the gratification of contributing to
your community. Three board members will be elected by the entire
membership to three year terms. Board members whose
terms expire this year are Jim Watson, Jimmy Goodwin
and Rose Cole.

The following questions have been submitted by the
Harbor Lights Editor to all candidates for the POA Board
of Directors. These questions are for inclusion in their
campaign article which will appear in the August Harbor
Lights. It is entirely up to the candidate whether or not
they choose to answer the questions. The questions are
designed to give Land Harbor Property Owners a means
of comparing the positions of the candidates.
1. What special qualifications would you bring to the
BOD and what do you consider is the biggest
responsibility being a Board member?
2.
Replacing the dam appears to lead our options but repairs
are still not out of question. A final decision will not be
made until all the facts are compiled later this year. The
big question is how will this impact Land Harbor
financially. Certainly you have given this some thought.
Can you share your ideas and suggestions?
3.
Real estate in our area and certain parts of North Carolina,
is still reasonably strong while the national trend is
downward. What must we do to continue to protect and
increase property values and to stay competitive?
4. Do you think we need to add amenities in Land Harbor or
perhaps improve the present amenities ? Please elaborate
and offer any ideas you have to improve our lifestyle.
5. What would be your first priority as a Board Member and
what would you like to see implemented as soon as
possible.

On Campus
by Rick Hammell
An announcement by General
Manager Mike Simpson,
at the June
Information Meeting, that Land Harbor
POA was a sponsor of the Annual Picnic
caught lot of people by surprise. Many
asked me why we never promoted, or
mentioned, the POA in announcements
about the picnic.
I got in touch with Mike Simpson after
the Information Meeting, Mike said he
had just learned recently the membership
did not know the POA was a sponsor of
the picnic and he felt obligated to make
the announcement.
He said we did receive a bill from Myra’s Catering after the 2006 picnic.
Mike was still new in Land Harbor, and
assumed that the picnic was a traditional
event and that it was common knowledge
among the membership that the POA was
a sponsor. He also concluded at the time,
the POA’s contribution was not budgeted
but this had to be an oversight.
He did, however, budget for the picnic
in 2007. Just recently he learned that our
participation was not common knowledge
among the owners and decided that he
needed to clarify this to the members. He
announced our sponsorship at the June
Information meeting.
The amount budgeted for the picnic
this year was based on the amount paid
last year which was $1,500. This year
Land Harbor POA has been billed for
$2,642 for costs with the picnic.
July 2007
Since the first picnic four years ago, we
have published news and advertising for
this event in the Harbor Lights and Weekly
Briefs always using Myras Catering and
Linville Area Mountain Properties as
the sponsors and the picnic was free
to everyone. No one has ever advised
differently.
The annual picnic is a delightful
and eagerly anticipated affair. It is well
attended (reportedly there were over 1,000
at this year’s picnic) and it is a fun event.
Land Harbor sponsorship really takes
away the “free” title that has been given
to the picnic. While this is still a bargain
for homeowners, you have to keep in
mind the picnic is open to everyone...not
just POA members. And...the question
remains: why was our participation not
made public to the property owners? I can truthfully say that communications
to you from Mike Simpson, the POA,
and the BOD have been excellent and as
honest as possible. POA participation
with the picnic may have been done
without a Board action and therefore was
not included in minutes. The action
has all of the markings of an honest and
very legal decision made in good faith.
However, somewhere along the line, for
whatever reason, there was a lack of
communications with others.
Mike Simpson brought this to your
attention at the Information Meeting
because you have a right to know how
your money is being spent. The picnic is a grand affair and we are
all very appreciative to Myra’s Catering
and Linville Area Mountain Properties for
their part in it. We all hope it will continue
- but please remember to include our own
Property Owners Association in our thank
you.
Our Flag
As Land Harbor and our Nation celebrates
yet another birthday and another year of
freedom, we are all mindful of the blessings
we have living in this wonderful community
and magnificent country.
As we show our patriotism and proudly
display our flag, let’s be certain that we
display the flag properly. The flag should be
flown daily from sunrise to sunset. It may
be displayed 24 hours a day on patriotic
holidays or if properly illuminated during
hours of darkness. The American flag can
be displayed with other flags but it must
always be on top and in the place of highest
honor. No other flag should be to its left
when standing in front of multiple flags.
The American flag should be raised first and
lowered last. The flag must never be shown
with the union (blue background behind its
white stars) down. The union should always
be in the upper left corner whether the flag
is displayed horizontally or vertically. The
flag should never touch anything beneath it.
A flag should never be displayed if it is
faded, dirty or tattered. It should be properly
destroyed. Take it to an American Legion
Post, VFW, or other veterans organizations
and ask them to dispose of it properly. A flag
should never, never be used for advertising
purposes in any manner whatsoever. Nor
should any picture or decoration be attached
to the flag, its staff or halyard.
Like everything else, your Harbor Lights
is struggling with increased costs. The
increased postage rate has hit us extremely
hard not to mention huge increases in
printing. While our advertising has increased
significantly, it not nearly enough to meet
the increased expenses. We are exploring
ways to cut costs without cutting down on
the quality of the Lights. One way may be to
have property owners (who are on campus)
pick up their copy at central locations rather
than mail them. We would continue to mail
to those not in Land Harbor but a mailing
charge is not out of the question.

L
AST year I wrote about the
symptoms of a stroke and how
to identify them. Since that time,
several friends have experienced this
terrifying and sometimes debilitating
life experience. While we cannot
completely prevent strokes,
our
knowledge of how to react may save
a loved one or friend. For that reason,
this article is worth repeating.
If you suspect a person may be
having stroke, ask the victim these
simple questions:
•
Ask the individual to smile.
•
Ask him or her to raise
both arms.
• Ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If he or she has trouble with any
of these tasks, call 911 immediately
and describe the symptoms to the
dispatcher. I cannot emphasize enough
the words “immediately.” The first
three hours are absolutely critical for
the survival and successful treatment
of a stroke. There are no figures available to
accurately report how many acute
strokes occur each year in Land
Harbor, but based on our population
and average age, we can guess
approximately 10. Whatever the
number, we should be prepared to
assist if we are needed.
Dr. Charles Bauer, is
a
Cardiologist who remains active in
his specialty. Dr. Bauer is also very
active in efforts to improve Acute
Care for patients who have suffered
strokes says “don’t wait to seek
medical attention even if the patient
is reluctant to do so.” If you have
asked the important questions
above and the victim does not
respond then act immediately.
Dr. Bauer further states “A
transient ischemic attack (TIA)
is usually the first phase in the
development of a stroke.
July 2007
Recognize
stroke
signs and
improve
chances
for
survival
by RICK HAMMELL
Dr. Bauer knows from experience.
“I had a stroke almost eight years to the
day after suffering a TIA. Fortunately,
and only after extensive therapy, I
have almost completely recovered
except for a slight speech problem. I am one of the lucky ones.” There
are more than 750, 000 strokes each
year and 170,000 deaths from strokes.
Over 25% of strokes occur under the
age of 65.
Obviously time is critical to get the
best results. A patient who has a stroke
should be transported to a qualified
hospital with comprehensive care
administered within an hour from
the time of the onset of the stroke. Comprehensive care is critical here. For a hospital to be designated as a
Comprehensive Stroke Center, it
must have the best diagnostic facilities for the treatment of a stroke. Just as
important is that the staff have qualified
neuro-radiologists and neuro-vascular
surgeons available.
We are fortunate to have a couple of
Stroke Centers in our area; The James
Quillen Rehab Center at the Johnson
City Medical Center, 423 431-6111,
and in Asheville, the Thoms Rehab
Center at Memorial Mission Hospital,
828 213-1111.
You might want to clip the following
and hang in it a convenient place or
carry it in your purse or wallet.
This means that, for a short time,
symptoms of a stroke will be manifested
by sudden change in speech or vision
and numbness or weakness of part of
one half of the person’s body; e.g.,
just the right side or just the left side
of the body. Usually after a number
of minutes, all the symptoms will
disappear.”
----------CLIP-----------
“The very serious outlook for the
patient after TIA is that chances for a
stroke will increase by 12 percentage
points each succeeding year; i.e.,
thereís a 24% chance of a stroke in
the second year, a 36% chance in the
third year, 48% in the fourth year, etc.
By the eighth year following a TIA,
thereís a 96% chance this person will
have a stroke.”
Ask the person to
SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE
Ask the individual
to SMILE
Ask him or her to
RAISE BOTH ARMS
If he or she has trouble with
any of these tasks, call 911
immediately and describe the
symptoms to the dispatcher.

Christmas in August
Land Harbor has participated in
“Avery Project Christmas” for several
years, and in 2006 the Project served over
four hundred children. The reputation for
participation and generosity is deserved
and coveted by all Land Harbor residents,
and in 2007 will be extended to allow the
full spectrum of those who enjoy this area
to join in.
The “Project” normally takes place
right after Thanksgiving, depriving
those who have left for the winter the
opportunity to be part of the project. This
year the drive will be called “Christmas
in August”, and will be begin sometime in
late August. You are asked to donate gifts
[New - toys, clothing, games, etc.] suitable
for youngsters through high school.
Look for more information in coming
Harbor Lights, and, thanks in advance
for what we are sure will a generous and
willing response.

CHIEF’S DESK . . .
department will do everything that we can to be of
assistance to you and that everyone will be dealt with
fairly and with respect. However, in return, I demand
respect for my officers and the position that they hold.
Gary W. Willis
Chief, Land Harbor Special Police
I have been a law enforcement officer for over 36
years and have been in every facet of it, including the
US Army Military Police, Sheriff’s Departments and
other city police departments. No one can understand
what we go through and put up with unless you have
been there or have a family member who is an officer.
Hello and welcome back to all of you who have
returned for the summer months. It was my pleasure
to have met many of you at the informational meeting
and the cook-out!
There were many questions from our property
owners but the most asked was about how the new
Police Department might change things. My answer:
Nothing will change. We will be even more responsive
to the needs of our residents and guests. If law
enforcement matters arise, we do not have to call in the
Sheriff’s Department any more because we are now a
state certified police agency with state certified police
officers and we have jurisdiction and arrest powers like
any other police department.
The safety and well-being of EVERYONE in Land
Harbor is of utmost importance and our walkers and
golf cart operators are increasing so PLEASE abide
by out speed limits and stop signs. We have had
many complaints about this. We plan to give “verbal
warnings” for a time, but this cannot last for ever. We
are authorized to issue NC state citations.
PLEASE REMEMBER . . .if you are consuming
alcoholic beverages, DO NOT DRIVE. By NC
Statute, this includes bicycles, golf carts, mo-peds or
any other motor vehicle. This will not be tolerated due
to the extremely dangerous and deadly nature of it.
Enough said.
Please be advised that the operation of golf carts on
Goose Hollow Road and Richard Childress Road (or
any state/county road) is illegal and if you are caught
by county deputies or state troopers you will be issued
several citations: No insurance, no state inspection, no
registration, etc.
I am looking forward to meeting as many of you
as I can and you have my promise that our police
Page 10
I pledge to all of you that I will maintain a proficient
and professional police department with the highest
standards and work ethics. If anyone has a problem or
a concern with or about any of my officers, or you just
want to say “hi” please feel free to contact me at 828733-8334 or come by my office.
NUMBERS ON HOMES IN LAND HARBOR . .
..At this writing it is June 11, 2007 and this day could
have been a disaster for one family. I responded to
one of our ladies who had fallen. She was in her mideighties. Her home sat off the street about twenty-five
feet and the numbers on her home were faded so badly
that I could not see them and they were not very big at
all, blending in with the color of the house. I had to
take the time to get out my map and go house by house
and deduct just where the house was. Fortunately, her
injuries were not life threatening but she did have to be
transported by ambulance to the hospital.
This is not the first time this has happened and it
could cost someone their life. PLEASE be absolutely
SURE that you have highly visible numbers which
should be at least six inches high and if possible, be
reflective for easy identification at night and stand
out distinctly from your homes exterior coloring. As
I said during our informational meeting, our goal is to
help you and keep you safe. If we can’t find you we
can’t help you. Your cooperation in this matter will be
greatly appreciated by your Land Harbor Police, the
rescue personnel in our community and those who love
you. All the best and have a wonderful summer!
Again, I look forward to serving you and will do
my best to meet your needs.
With best regards; Gary W. Willis

Golf Committee News
Pam Sabella, Golf Chair
Many positive achievements can be reported about the
Land Harbor Golf Program in 2007.
The good news is that revenue from Annual Golf
Memberships thru May 30, 2007 total $235,009.20 compared
to $226,397.65 on May 30, 2006.
Over the winter new irrigation pipelines were installed
on the course increasing our capacity to water the greens and
fairways. If drought conditions persist, as has been predicted
for the area, this will help us provide adequate water to keep us
from losing the grass on our greens and fairways . Substantial
tree cutting and removal of brush and undergrowth improved
the aesthetics , and speeds up play as players do not need to
spend a lot of time hunting for their golf ball. Thanks to Paul
Waycaster, Golf Course Superintendent and his staff, for
their diligent efforts in keeping our course in great playing
condition.
In May two teams from the United States Golf Association
rated our course, a team of men from the white tees and a team
of women from the red tees. After inspecting the layout and
playing the course a new slope and rating has been established.
The advantage to our members is that their handicap may be
used to play in any USGA event and Land Harbor is listed
as an official USGA course in the membership directory New
Page 12
scorecards have been printed with the new slope and hole
measurements.
Don Natel, Golf Shop Manager and Pro, is having two
additional clinics for members. On July 21 at the Point the
clinic will focus on mid-irons and August 3 at the practice net
on driving. Both clinics run from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Check with Don at the Golf Shop for more information. These
are very popular and useful clinics and there is room for all
interested golfers new and veterans.
On July 28 the Golf Flea Market will be held on the deck
at the golf house. You may participate in one of two ways. You
may sell your golf items yourself or donate them for us to sell
with the proceeds going to the Golf Committee.
The Annual Golf Banquet will be held at the Rec Hall on
September 5. Please mark the date on your calendar as that is
the special day of the year golfers gather to celebrate another
successful season and honor our current champions. Catherine
Melk, Chairperson for the banquet will announce more details
later.
We are in the middle of another great golfing season. If
you are not an annual golf member but enjoy playing golf
when your time permits, I encourage you to give us a try if
you haven’t already. Land Harbor has competitive greens fees,
twilight fees and coupon books. Good tee times are available
nearly everyday. If you are a property owner or renter you
may secure a computer number, if you do not already have
one, and make tee times 6 days in advance. I think you will
be impressed with our well maintained course and we look
forward to getting to know you and having you join us.

Vial of Life Program
Kits available at POA Office
The Vial of Life Program is designed to speak for
you when you are unable to speak for yourself. The
information contained within the vial will provide prehospital and hospital providers with essential details
that will aid in providing appropriate treatment. In
the event of an emergency, rescuers will see the alert
sticker and recognize the presence of a vial of life.
Once the vial is retrieved, life saving information
may be obtained, even if the patient is unable to
speak. The information contained inside the vial will
identify the patient’s current medical history, allergies,
medications, and other valuable information needed to
provide more rapid treatment.
The Vial of Life is helpful even if you have no
medical problems because emergency personnel need
to know that as well. Vial of Life kits are available at
the POA Office.
P.S. Let your neighbors know of this program.

RECREATION UPDATE
POOL RULES
Guest
The guest of a member must use the guest pass that was issued when the property dues were paid. Each guest pass is
good for 5 people. Guest will be required to sign in at the Lifeguard Station. Guest passes can only be picked up at the
POA Office Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.
Children
A responsible parent must accompany children under the age of 12 or an adult (not a teenager), who must remain in the
pool area while the child is in the pool or on the pool deck. Dropping off a child under the age of 12 and then going into
one of the rooms for a meeting or class or leaving the recreation area is not permitted.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
NEW STANDARD FROM THE NATIONAL LIGHTNING SAFETY INSTITUTE
The safety of our swimmers is always our first priority. When lightning is first seen or thunder is first heard (meaning
lightning is somewhere in the area), swimmers, sunbathers and picnickers will be asked to leave the pool, the pool deck
and picnic area and seek shelter on the upper ramp. The National Lightning Safety Institute (NLSI) has changed the standard for staying out of the pool during bad weather from 20 minutes to 30 minutes, and Land Harbor lifeguards will be
instructed to use this guideline. Every time lightning is seen or thunder is heard another 30-minute countdown is started
again until the pool can be safely re-entered. Remember, this is for your safety. Pool 733-8315.
Have a fun and safe 2007 season.

Bickersons, Baby Snooks, Duffy’s Tavern, Amos & Andy
and The Grand Ole Opry. Original singing commercials

featuring the top popular songs of 1945 as performed by
the “original artists” or reasonable facsimilies.

suffered from Hurricanes Ivan and Frances. We, and the nation,
escaped last year but all agree 2006 was somewhat of a “fluke” and
weather is a little flakey this year. I would not wager on anyone’s
predictions but I would start preparing and laying out a plan for
evacuation with plenty of emergency supplies and comforts . also be responsible to make the decision to open the dam gates in
the event of flooding dangers.
• Mark down telephone numbers: Land Harbor Police
733-8333, Mountain Electric 733-0159, Land Harbor
Administration 733-8300, Cannon Hospital 737-7000. • FOR
EMERGENCIES, SHERIFF,
FIRE
AND
AMBULANCE, CALL 911. Give the 911 operator your
EXACT LOCATION in Land Harbor including street and house
number. Be sure you house number is posted conspicuously on
your houses (do that NOW!)
• Do not call Land Harbor Property Owners Assn. or make
routine calls to Land Harbor Police as their phones will be
needed for emergency use.
• If you leave Land Harbor or plan to go to the Evacuation
Shelter at the Recreation Building, make a list to shut off all
valves in the house; water, gas, main breaker box, etc. DO NOT
GO TO THE GOLF HOUSE.
Keep in mind, the historical average (1950 through 2004)
was 10 named storms, 6 hurricanes with 2 major hurricanes. Major
hurricanes are hurricanes that reach winds of 111 miles per hour. There is an 81% probability that at least two major hurricanes
this year will strike the USA. Chief of Police, Gary Willis, is Land Harbor’s Emergency
Coordinator and will be the person responsible for staying in
contact with Avery County Emergency Management. Gary will
• Prepare to take medications and toiletries for your personal
hygiene. You are advised to take some canned and boxed foods
especially if you are on a special diet.
• Prepare for your pet - take leashes, pet shelter, extra food,
petís medications. Pets will be housed in the general shelter area
but will not be permitted inside rooms.
If we receive warnings of severe weather, turn your
radio dial to WECR, 102.3 FM or 1130 AM. WECR is Avery
County’s Emergency Alerting System.

Fishing in the lake with bait is
permitted until September 15
Fishing in the lake with bait includes fishing from either
shore or from a boat or flotation device, but does not include
fishing in the river.
Since trout fishing typically slows down during the
warm summer months, the Fishing Committee is attempting
to improve overall fishing by promoting the catching of
sunfish, crappie, bass, catfish and carp that live in our lake.
Most of these species are good to eat , while all can be fun
to catch. North Carolina creel and size limits are to be
followed. A Land Harbor permit and North Carolina State
license is required.
Fishing Committee members continue to monitor
fishermen for permits and analyze the fish being caught. Bait
includes worms, corn, bread and specially prepared catfish/
carp baits. Minnows are permitted but must be obtained from
the lake itself. Trot lines and jug fishing are not permitted.
Those wishing to continue fishing with artificial lures may
do so.
Please....if you use bait, properly dispose of empty bait
containers.

WHAT IS THE
THURSDAY GOLF SCRAMBLE
AND COCKTAILS AT THE
GOLF HOUSE?
by Rick Hammell
N
o one will argue that golf is a complicated game. Many
take it as serious as life itself. Play by the rules, play the ball
where it lies, no exceptions, no bending. It is a very respected and
admired game But...is there another side of golf? A less serious, more
lenient side. Golf that is competitive but forgiving for errors.
Golf that really asks for your best but does not demand it. Golf
that rewards you with warm hugs and kisses (from the ladies).
Golf where prize money is still sought and personal pride and
accomplishment is important but not all consuming. And finally,
golf where you have as much fun afterward as you did on the
course.
There IS such a game and it is called Land Harbor
Thursday Scramble. Its sole purpose is for you to have fun and mix and socialize with friends - regardless of ability. Yes, there is
pairing that tries to mix evenly the ability of players and usually
there is always one low handicapper in every group. The pairing
is fair as possible and each group is pretty evenly matched. Arnie Palmer once said that golf should be played and enjoyed
by everyone, not just professionals or the very talented. Golf, he
said, can be anything you want it to be. Arnie emphasized that
you can’t change the rules if you play “golf” but if you want to
make it a family game or a social game, call it something other
than golf. Just play!
The Thursday Scramble is certainly golf although there is a
rule or two a little different. It is a mixed group of foursomes with
2 men and 2 women (normally not with your spouse). Men play
from the red tees and Ladies play from the gold tees. Play is open
to all Land Harbor Residents and Renters with a current Land
Harbor 18 hole handicap. The cost is only $3 per golfer which
goes to prizes (credit towards golf shop merchandise).
The fun continues as everyone is invited to the Golf house
for cocktails and snacks at 5 o’clock. Bring your own bottle and
goodies. Team winners are announced and the prizes are awarded. After an hour of fun, the camaraderie continues as groups may
form and visit one of the local restaurants. It is strictly our
decision!
You don’t have to play golf with the group to join the
cocktail hour. Everyone is invited and many make this a weekly
“must.” If you are new in Land Harbor, the Thursday Scramble is
the perfect way to meet a great bunch. For Information call Lyle
Holloway at 737-0917 or e-mail Lyle lyleholloway@bellsouth.
net.
For the golf .... just sign up at the Pro Shop by Monday. For
the cocktails and fun .... just BYOB and come to the Pro Shop at
5:00 PM.

II.
Approval of Minutes
A. Special Meeting - May 18, 2007.Jimmy Goodwin moved to approve
the minutes. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
IV.
Request from Members
A. Request for Replat - June Miller- 57 Delphinium Ln w/ Carl 35
Delphinium Ln. There is a small portion of Ms. Gouge’s house (57
Delphinium Ln) that is on her neighbors, Mr. Carlís (35 Delphinium
Ln) property. Mr. Carl has a combined lot. Ms. Gouge is requesting
permission to replat to clean up the property line.
Charlie Sims moved to approve the request which is waiving the
combined lot agreement requirements and with the understanding that
all cost be born by the home owner(s) with no cost to Land Harbor and
the final replat be determined by the General Manager. The motion
was seconded and carried unanimously.
B. Request for Reconsideration in not having to paint roof(s) Workman & Stokes in HH. Mr. Workman addressed the Board about
the situation concerning the roof installed on his house and the Stokes’
house. He explained that he found a business card at the bathhouse
for Jerry Arnett. He called Mr. Arnett and Mr. Arnett told him he had
done lots of work in Land Harbor. Mr. Arnett showed Mr. Workman a
chart of what Mr. Arnett told Mr. Workman were approved colors for
roofs in Land Harbor. Mr. Arnett also assured Mr. Workman that he
would take care of the permits necessary for the job. Mr. Workman
then told Mr. Stokes about Mr. Arnett and Mr. Stokes also contracted
him to replace his roof. As it turned out there were no permits and
the color wasn’t an approved color. Mr. Workman feels he and the
Stokes Family were deceived by Mr. Arnett. Rose Cole moved to deny
the request for a variance and asked Mr. Workman to exhaust other
avenues to have his and the Stokes’ roof repainted. The motion was
seconded and carried by a majority. Voting to deny the request for
the variance was: Dennis Ellenwood, Rose Cole, Charlie Sims, Jim
Watson, Phin Horton, Chuck Abrams and Warren Kempf. Voting
against was: Jimmy Goodwin.
B. Request to assess lot in Linville Estates at the Undeveloped
rate rather than Developed - McGeachy for 41 Paradise Ridge Ln
(tapped onto water at Water Tank). Mr. McGeachy considers his
lot to be undeveloped at this time. He wants to pay the developed
lot rate when he actually develops the lot even though water is
currently available on his lot. He is agreeable to paying the water fee;
however he wants to pay the undeveloped lot fee. Dennis Ellenwood
moved to deny the request. The motion was seconded and carried
unanimously.
V. Budget and Finance
A. Monthly Financial Report - Mr. Simpson advised that all
departments are currently under budget. All department managers
are doing an excellent job. All together Land Harbor is operating six
percent under budget.
B. Finance Committee Duties - Chuck Abrams moved to make
the duties of the Finance Committee as an Advisory Committee to the
Board and the committee will advise the Board on items specifically
requested by the Board. The motion was seconded and carried
unanimously.
VI. Policy & Procedure
A. Water and/or Sewer Usage on Undeveloped Lots or Outlying
Areas from the Land Harbor Development (R & R-25). Warren
Kempf moved to amend the Policy and Procedure No. R & R 25 adding
number five stating the POA Members are prohibited from providing
water and/or sewer services to outlying areas (not in the Land Harbor
Page 38
Development) for any reason. The motion was seconded and carried
unanimously.
B. Request for change to RV Storage Application - Chuck Abrams
moved to move open utility trailers not used by contractors from a
$200.00 per year fee to the $100.00 a year fee on the RV Storage
form. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
VII. Managerís Report - Mike Simpson
Expenditures: Department Managers are doing well with their budget
management. We are currently six percent under budget.
Revenues: Our revenues for most line items are generally forecasted
with the exception of initiation fees. Initiation fees are down
dramatically. If this trend continues we will need to adjust expenditures
accordingly.
In an effort to simplify and make our monthly budget analysis
more “user friendly and informative”, Chuck Abrams, our Board
Treasurer, recommended some changes. These changes have been
implemented.
* New carpeting and furniture has been installed in the General
Services Office.
* We have been adding wireless routers and repeaters
throughout the administrative, recreation and general service
buildings. We are attempting to create a “wireless cloud” over the
POA, Golf House, Security and the Recreation Building.
* As of June 1, 2007 we have issued five new home permits,
three home additions and fourteen other permits.
* During the month of May a total of 207 work orders were
received of which 167 have been completed.
* Schnabel Engineers Mark Landis and Ned Billington have
completed a radar analysis of the silt in our lake. A report with visual
displays and analysis is scheduled to be delivered to the POA office
in June.
* Our maintenance staff has been doing an amazing job
monitoring and maintaining the lake level that the State of NC
mandated.
* In June, Lyttle Utilities, Inc. will perform a sampling inspection
of our sewer collection system, to include the laterals (service lines).
* Road reflectors have been installed on Land Harbor Parkway.
The adhesive materials supplied with the reflectors have failed. Epoxy
that the state uses has been ordered and the reflectors will be placed
every 100”.
* Our natural debris waste site remains “State of the Art”. Yard
debris is chipped as the maintenance staff makes their rounds.
* There is a new household solid waste center located next to
the POA building. This is for weekend members and guests to have
a convenient location to dispose of household waste.
* Our Maintenance Administrators office should be completed
some time in June.
* The Recreation Hall has been fine cleaned, floors stripped
and put into tip-top shape for the season.
* The carpet and furniture in the Golf House have been
cleaned. The exterior of the building has been chemically cleansed
for treatment of mildew.
* The Library was renovated last year and is quite impressive.
More memory has been added to the computer. The computer has
internet access and the entire building has wireless internet.
* A renovation to the Tennis Pavilion has been completed. The
soft courts have been renovated for the 2007 season and the hard
courts were scheduled for June 7th. The hard courts will be closed
through June 17th.
* The staff is working hard to get the dog park operational. All
the “nuts and bolts” are in place. The dog park is set to open June
10th.
* Schnabel Engineering was asked to prepare a contingency
plan for irrigating the Golf Course during the dam repair period. Our
preliminary discussions indicate that we will need to extend the
intake draft pipe and create a pond adjacent to the Linville River
channel.
* The policy of our Police Department patrolling the golf course
has been a success. Our officers have been well received and have
been instrumental in eliminating potential damage to our course.
* The 19th Hole operates Monday thru Saturday 9 to 5. The
refreshment cart will operate on Sundays and during the week when
a volunteer is available. The cart menu will expand to include sandwiches, hot-dogs and other heated menu items.

MINUTES REGULAR BOD MEETING, JUNE 8
IX.
Old Business
A. Dam/ Dam Committee
The Dam Committee members are Dennis Ellenwood, Charlie
Sims, Jim Gahring, Mike Simpson and Jim Watson. Charlie
Sims suggested adding Bobby Hicks to the Committee. Jeff
Troy appointed Chuck Abrams to the Committee and appointed
Bobby Hicks as an advisory to the committee. Chuck Abrams
recommended Dennis Ellenwood to be the Chairman. Jeff Troy stated
that the committee itself or any individual on the committee is not to
communicate with the State or Schnabel directly. He would like the
Committee to compose a letter to be sent to Schnabel by the Board
stating any suggestions they may have on the dam and let Schnabel
know what Land Harbor is looking for as far as renovating the dam.
X. New Business
A. Recreation Maintenance & Sustainment Fee - Kempf. Mr.
Kempf introduced into discussion the possibility of a Recreation
and Amenities Charge for new members, as mentioned by the Golf
Committee at their last meeting. Mr. Kempf advised the Board that the
money generated from this would be dispersed to various activities.
This fee would be in addition to the Initiation Fee. Discussion was
held by the Board on a possible increase in the Initiation Fee to be
effective in 2008 and it was decided that this would be submitted to
the existing membership for their input.
B. Appointment of Nominating Committee - Hank Andreis,
Advisory Committee. Chuck Abrams moved to accept the
recommendations made by the Chairman of the Advisory Committee
of names for the Nominating Committee (which per the Bylaws are to
be members of the Advisory Committee or a portion thereof) for the
appointment of the following Advisory Committee Members: Hank
Andreis, Don Jones, Pam Sabella and George Thurn. The motion
was seconded and carried unanimously.
C. Demographics - Sims. Charlie Sims is going to gather names
of people willing to serve on the Demographics Committee. The
Demographics Committee will decide on the information needed to
plan for the future. They will then develop a questionnaire. Then a
sample survey will be made to obtain the information.
D. Annual Golf Membership for week-end play - Sims. There
are a number of POA members who are only here on the weekends.
Charlie Sims suggests getting an annual rate for weekend play only.
One rate for a single person and another rate for a couple. After much
discussion it was determined more information was needed. Once
the information is gathered it will be presented to the Golf Committee,
membership and then to the Board.
E. Proclamation - Bobby J. Hicks. The Proclamation for Bobby
Hicks was reviewed and signed by the Board. Mr. Goodwin left the
meeting at 11:25 a.m. due to a prior commitment.
1. Lifetime Fishing Permit - Rose Cole moved to issue Bobby
Hicks a Lifetime Fishing Permit. The motion was seconded and
XI. Property Owners’ Input and Concerns as per 47F-3-108(b)
Meetings
Dick Crews of Mountain Run Properties gave some statistics
for sales of homes. In April two homes were sold. One in Section
C, that was on the market for 367 days and one in Section D that
was on the market for 287 days. In May four homes were sold. One
in Laurel Hills that was on the market 343 days, one in Section B
that was on the market 225 days, one in Grandview that was on the
market 273 days and another in Section B that was on the market
305 days. He stated there were 120 single family homes for sale in
Land Harbor. Real Estate sales are down and he is concerned if the
Initiation Fee is increased the sales will remain low.
XII. Executive Session-Litigation
Warren Kempf moved to go into Executive Session at 11:35 a.m. The
motion was seconded and carried unanimously.
Warren Kempf moved to go back into open session at 12:15 p.m. The
motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

and carried unanimously.

Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some
contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More
information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection
Agency's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immunocompromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ
transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at
risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/CDC
guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbiological
contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs,
and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally occurring minerals
and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from
human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include microbial contaminants, such as viruses and
bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations, and wildlife;
inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water
runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining, or farming; pesticides and
herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses;
organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial
processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems;
and radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or be the result of oil and gas production and mining
activities.
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain
contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled
water which must provide the same protection for public health.
When You Turn on Your Tap, Consider the Source
Our water source is the pediment aquifer that is located in the Linville River water shed of the
Catawba River basin.
Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) Results
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Public Water Supply (PWS) Section,
Source Water Assessment Program (SWAP) conducted assessments for all drinking water sources across North Carolina.
The purpose of the assessments was to determine the susceptibility of each drinking water source (well or surface water
intake) to Potential Contaminant Sources (PCSs). The results of the assessment are available in SWAP Assessment
Reports that include maps, background information and a relative susceptibility rating of Higher, Moderate or Lower.
The relative susceptibility rating of each source for Linville Land Harbor was determined by combining the contaminant
rating (number and location of PCSs within the assessment area) and the inherent vulnerability rating (i.e., characteristics
or existing conditions of the well or watershed and its delineated assessment area.). The assessment findings are
summarized in the table below:

http://www.deh.enr.state.nc.us/pws/swap Please note that because SWAP results and reports are periodically updated by
the PWS Section, the results available on this web site may differ from the results that were available at the time this CCR
was prepared. To obtain a printed copy of this report, please mail a written request to: Source Water Assessment
Program – Report Request, 1634 Mail Service Center, Raleigh NC 27699-1634, or email request to [email protected].
Please indicate your system name, PWSID, and provide your name, mailing address and phone number. If you have any
questions about the SWAP report please contact the Source Water Assessment staff by phone at 919-715-2633.
It is important to understand that a susceptibility rating of “higher” does not imply poor water quality, only the systems’
potential to become contaminated by PCS’s in the assessment area
Violations that Your Water System Received for the Report Year
During year 2006, or during any compliance period that ended in year 2006, we received no violations. However we
exceeded the “action level” for copper. A corrosion control study is being done, and re-sampling will occur soon.
What If I Have Any Questions Or Would Like to Become More Involved?
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your water, please contact Paul Isenhour at (828) 898-6277. We
want our valued customers to be informed about their water utility.
Water Quality Data Table of Detected Contaminants
We routinely monitor for over 120 contaminants in your drinking water according to Federal and State laws. The table
below lists all the drinking water contaminants that we detected in the last round of sampling for the particular
contaminant group. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. Unless
otherwise noted, the data presented in this table is from testing done January 1 through December 31, 2006. The
EPA or the State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants less than once per year because the concentrations of
these contaminants are not expected to vary significantly from year to year. Some of the data, though representative of the
water quality, is more than one year old.
Unregulated contaminants are those for which EPA has not established drinking water standards. The purpose of
unregulated contaminant monitoring is to assist EPA in determining the occurrence of unregulated contaminants in
drinking water and whether future regulation is warranted.
Important Drinking Water Definitions:
Not-Applicable (N/A) – Information not applicable/not required for that particular water system or for that particular Rule.
Non-Detects (ND) - laboratory analysis indicates that the contaminant is not present at the level of detection set for the
particular methodology used.
Parts per million (ppm) or Milligrams per liter (mg/l) - one part per million corresponds to one minute in two years or a
single penny in $10,000.
Parts per billion (ppb) or Micrograms per liter - one part per billion corresponds to one minute in 2,000 years, or a single
penny in $10,000,000.
Picocuries per liter (pCi/L) - picocuries per liter is a measure of the radioactivity in water.
Million Fibers per Liter (MFL) - million fibers per liter is a measure of the presence of asbestos fibers that are longer than
10 micrometers.

Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) - nephelometric turbidity unit is a measure of the clarity of water. Turbidity in
excess of 5 NTU is just noticeable to the average person.
Action Level (AL) -the concentration of a contaminant which, if exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which
a water system must follow.
Treatment Technique (TT) - A treatment technique is a required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in
drinking water.
Maximum Residual Disinfection Level Goal – The “Level” (MRDLG) of a drinking water disinfectant below which there
is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial
contaminants.
Maximum Residual Disinfection Level – The “Highest Level” (MRDL) of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There
is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.
Maximum Contaminant Level - The “Maximum Allowed” (MCL) is the highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in
drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology.
Maximum Contaminant Level Goal - The “Goal”(MCLG) is the level of a contaminant in drinking water below which
there is no known or expected risk to health. MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
Extra Note: MCL’s are set at very stringent levels. To understand the possible health effects described for many
regulated constituents, a person would have to drink 2 liters of water every day at the MCL level for a lifetime to
have a one-in-a-million chance of having the described health effect.
