LLH is in very good
financial condition
President’s
Message
Chuck Abrams
The financial condition of
Linville Land Harbor continued to
be very good again during 2011. Your Board of Directors and Staff
work very hard to keep it that way. Our property owners are responsive
and have a good record of keeping
their accounts current and it would
be greatly appreciated if those who
are behind in their payments would
do their part to pay their back fees.
Home sales during 2011 were
at 30, as budgeted. We again
budgeted 30 sales in 2012 but are
working actively to exceed this
level of sales. Listing of properties
for Sale and Rent by owners are
now available through our Land
Harbor website.
The first rounds of property
inspections have been completed
and notices issued for clean up. Your assistance in keeping your
property looking good would be
appreciated. Weather during last
Fall stayed warm enough through
Mid- November to permit our road
repair project to continue longer.

Prepare for storms now
by Rick Hammell
Violent and deadly storm
activity so far this year is more
than double what it was last
year. As recent as mid April and
again in late April, during deadly
storms in the Midwest, weather
experts were advising we could
be facing a long summer of very severe storms, flooding and violent
weather activity because of the
warming this year.
Some reports used the word
catastrophic
several
times.
Catastrophic is rarely used in
warnings. Please read “Prepare
For Storms” on page 41.

The Board of Directors
elected Dick Collins as Secretary.
Dick succeeds Russ Anderson who
resigned in March.
_______________
Hank Rullman has taken a
seat on our Board of Directors
replacing Russ Anderson who
resigned in March. What happens
now to our Board of Directors
election in September? Must
Rullman run in September?
Hank Rullman became a
Director because he was the next in
line after placing fourth in the total
number of votes in last September’s
election. Our bylaws provide for
this. Hank was gracious enough to
accept the responsibility. However,
he will have to stand for re-election
in this year’s Board election in
September.
That means four seats will be
open and the first four candidates
in the vote total will serve on the
Board beginning October, 2012.
The three candidates receiving the
highest votes will serve three years
and the fourth highest will serve two years.
Present Board members who
will leave the Board this year
because of serving two terms
are: Chuck Abrams and Warren
Kempf.

This type feature is always fun to
research and write. At one time in
my life, 100 years ago seemed prehistoric. Now...it seems just like
yesterday. I hope you will have fun
reading this:
100 years ago - 1912
The population of our
country just went over 75 million.
Teddy Roosevelt was President. New Mexico became our 47th
state. Arizona followed becoming
our 48th state. The first eastbound
transcontinental flight landed in
Jacksonville, Fl. In March 2,500
US Marines invade Nicaragua
(and we would remain there until
1925). In June the Marines invaded
Cuba for the third time. On April 10th, the RMS
Titanic set sail for its first and last voyage. The Titanic would sink
in the North Atlantic April 15th
at 2:27 AM. Roald Amundsen
announced discovery of the South
Pole. Robert Scott’s expedition
arrived one month later.
New York had a ticker tape
parade for Jim Thorpe and the
victorious United States Olympic
Team. Also in sports, baseball pitcher Cy Young retired with 511
wins.
Born in 1912: Golfers - Sam
Snead, Ben Hogan and Bryon
Nelson. Entertainers - Perry
Como, Louie Prima and Minnie
Pearl. Others; Sonja Henie,
Olympic star and actress and
Werner von Braun, rocket expert.
You could buy a dozen of
fresh eggs for around 11 cents, a
postage stamp cost .02 cents. Sugar
was 6 cents a pound. A pound of
Codfish was 12 cents, pound of
onions 5 cents, bread was 8 cents,
can of tomatoes 12 cents, pound of
rice 8 cents and if you had enough
money - butter was 20 cents a pound
(a real luxury). Coca-Cola, Jello-O
were around and beginning to gain
in popularity. Oreo cookies, peanut
butter, popcorn and ice cream were
just making their debut. Homes used ice boxes for
refrigeration - electric refrigerators (known as Frigidares) were not
offered until 1922. Most homes
were using wood burning stoves.
Henry Ford formed the
Henry Ford Auto Company and
produced the Model T “Tin Lizzy”.
It had a cost of $850 (equivalent to
$21,800 today). The next year, due
to the assembly line and increased
sales - the price dropped to $550
and then dropped again the next
year to $450. Buick had a luxury
auto that sold for $1770.

It truly is a
WONDERFUL

Show Group Is
Moving Show
to Crossnore
The Show Group voted last season to move its
show production to the Hayes Performing Arts Center
at Crossnore Academy. Show Group President French
Harvey said: “For many years our patrons have
complained about the seating and visual sightlines of
the recreation center. We have spent money to upgrade
our sound system to enhance the sound quality of our
shows and the past several years have rented theatrical
lighting equipment to enhance the visual quality of our
productions but there is absolutely nothing we can do to
improve the physical layout of the recreation center.” The performing arts center at Crossnore Academy
was built in 2010 at a cost of over 1 million dollars. The fully air conditioned, 263 seat auditorium has
unobstructed views, a full proscenium stage house with
a professional sound system and a complete theatrical
lighting system. ___________________________________________

We have a great line up for the Summer Season. Billy
Drysdale will be here four times this summer and Denny
Slawn will be here twice. This year we had a new fourpiece Band with three members who can really, really sing!
We also have a new talent for us - a Land Harbor Resident

join us each and every dance. Plan your fun around Land
Harbor’s “fun event.”
JUNE 2 - Billy Drysdale will kick off our Summer Season
as only Billy can do. The Welcome Back Dance is always a
great evening reconnecting with old friends that have been
away for the winter. Billy’s great musical style will keep
you dancing.
JUNE 16 - Denny Slawn will be home for the Summer
after a busy winter traveling and entertaining. After his last
appearance last year, many of you came to me and said “this
was the best dance of the year”. Look forward to Denny’s
appearance here in Land Harbor. Don’t miss this one!!
JULY 7 - We have a new Band this year for our Red,
White and Blue Dance. They are called “Nightlife” and
they hail from Johnson City, Tn. There are four members
of the Band and three of them sing. Wear your colors.

20’s” Theme Dance. Billy promises us a fun evening

going back in time for some great music. Costumes are not
required but if you have some appropriate attire of that era,
wear it and have fun .
AUGUST - 4 You asked for it and here it is... a great
Country Western dance for your pleasure. A new entertainer,
Jerry Clark, will be on board to make your evening
unforgettable. He is absolutely fantastic!! He lives in South
Carolina but he also has a place in Land Harbor. AUGUST - l8 Billy Drysdale will return for another great
evening of song and dance. He always leaves us wanting
more.
SEPTEMBER - 1 Denny Slawn will be with us for his
final appearance of the Season. A great show and lots of
fun.
SEPTEMBER - 15 Final dance of the Season is our NEW
YEAR’S EVE EXTRAVAGANZA. Billy Drysdale will

than expected and more of our roads
were completed. This activity in
late 2011 will reduce what must be
done in 2012 and will result in less
traffic interruptions.
The much needed swimming
pool upgrade is proceeding well
and will be ready for opening
on schedule on May 26th. The
renovations will really make this
swimming pool another show place
for Land Harbor.
There is a new observation
deck at Overlook Park with chairs
and a grill for cookouts. This is a
really great addition similar to the
Pergola and should be enjoyed by
all.
Thank you for your continued
support. I look forward to seeing
June 2012
everyone as a majority of the
members return for the Season. 2012 will be another great year for
our mountain paradise.

Hello Land Harbor!
First of all….be sure to check out our Board Presidents article in this issue of Harbor Lights.
This has been another busy winter at Land Harbor, and I don’t expect the pace to slow down as we enter
the spring and summer. Many projects were planned this winter and the staff is working long and hard to
complete the tasks. As always, our projects at hand cover a broad spectrum. The most noticeable are the
landscape improvements. Here are but a few improvements under way:
ƒ
Our Christmas Decorations were the talk of The High Country
ƒ
Frosty The Snow Cam had to use sunblock this winter.

ƒ
The only thing missing from Overlook Park was………...an Overlook!
Please go down to Overlook Park and enjoy one of the best views in The High Country!
ƒ
Our Golf staff has been busy this winter renovating the tees on the front nine and making much
needed repairs on the back nine.

ƒ
Much needed pool repairs was a priority this winter. We will have virtually a brand new pool this
season.
ƒ
Roadside clearing remained a priority for us this winter.

Important notice to Property Owners
Control of storm water runoff
Storm water runoff from sloping lots such as ours
in Land Harbor is a significant problem and aggravated
by the build up of sticks and leaves. As a result, all
property owners are urged to heed the following
guidelines:
(1)Keeping leaves, sticks and debris from the
ditches around the perimeter of your property is the
responsibility of the property owner.
(2)Keeping culverts under driveways free of debris
such as gravel, leaves and sticks is the responsibility of
the property owner.
(3)Keeping leaves, sticks and debris out of the pipes
and culverts under roadways is the responsibility of the
Land Harbor Operations Department.
(4)Do not blow leaves or place sticks or branches in
drainage ditches when cleaning up your property.

Question:
Q. Players A and B tee off. Both unwittingly are
playing new identical balls with no personal mark-
ings. When they arrive at the balls, one ball is just in
bounds and the other ball which is only a foot away is
out of bounds. From their tee off position they could not
determine whose ball was out of bounds. What should
they do?
A. Flip a coin to see whose ball is in bounds.
B. Both drop in bounds without penalty.
C. Both return to the tee box and re-tee hitting 2.
D. Both return to the tee box and re-tee hitting 3.
Please see answer on page 17
June 2012
what’s the rule?
...bill bremser
Answer to Question
(on Page 16)
D. As both players were unable to positively
identify their ball, then both balls are declared
lost and both players must re-tee hitting three.
See rules 6-5 and 27-1.
Rule 6-5 specifically states that each player
should put an identification mark on his ball. And yet how many golfers don’t do this very
simple thing which could cost them a serious
penalty.

Greetings Land Harbor:
Most everyone is coming in now and noticing all the great changes around Land Harbor. We invite everyone to come and
jump in our newly repaired pool or take in some sun on our new deck. Just a couple reminders:
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
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) Standard for staying out of
the pool during bad weather is 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.
Special Events
This year the Craft Fair will be held on June 30th. We encourage all crafters to come participate. Craft Fair sign up is June
7th at 8:00am. Please come by the office to pick up a request form and have it ready by June 7th. Requests will not be accepted before June 7th at 8:00am.
4th of July – Start planning to decorate your cart, the golf cart parade will be here before we know it. The parade will end
at Overlook Park for fun and games. Whether you are playing in the Shuffleboard games or enjoying lunch on the new deck,
we invite everyone to come. With games for children of all ages, there is something for everyone. There will also be various
activities that week, look for more information throughout the summer.
The Flea Market will be on September 3rd, Labor Day Monday. Signups will be on August 18 at 8:00am. Forms are available in the office for pick up at your convenience, but will not be accepted until August 18 at 8:00am.
Have a safe and Happy Summer!

A note from the Chief:
Chief Gary Willis
We have moved the dumpsters from the Police
parking lot over to RV Storage. There is a new gate arm
for which you will need the code. Just come by or call
and we will give it to you but PLEASE do not give it to
anyone who does not live here or is not renting here.
After you go through the automatic arm, look to the
right and you will see a ramp to drive up. At the top,
you can drop your trash into a large dumpster which sits
on the ground at the end of the ramp. Please do not put
garbage bags on the ground near or around the dumpster
if it gets full. Animals scatter it and our folks have to pick
it all up. Call us or operations and let us know that it is
full.
Something VERY important and a SAFETY
HAZARD is that some folks are stopping their vehicles
on the Parkway to converse with pedestrians. This is
especially dangerous in blind curves where traffic can
be on top of you very quickly. If you want to talk,
please pull onto a side street and don’t block the golf
cart lanes.

First Seminar of the season by
Police Chief Gary Willis
Welcome back to Land Harbor! I will be having
our first “HANDS - ON” seminar on Wednesday, June
13 at 9:00 AM at the Recreation Complex. This will
be a “WEATHER PERMITTING” event because
I am doing a parallel parking class near the Police
Department. Bring your car and don’t worry, we will
be using plastic cones, not cars, to park between. It’s
not as hard as you think, really! Then after we practice,
I am going to time you with points added each time
you hit or knock down a cone. The fastest time and
least amount of points (like golf) will win the coveted
(and only) Linville Land Harbor Parking Champ
Trophy. See you at the Rec Center to have a short class room
session, go over the rules and then we’ll get started! Please RSVP by May 28th, I need to know how much
space to reserve in the lot and order the trophy!
_____________________________
Vials of Life available
at the Police Department
We have a high number of medical calls each year in
Land Harbor and most of them are emergencies. When
medical personnel arrive at your home, it is most helpful
and expedient if you have a list of medicines that you
take readily available along with information about
anything that you might be allergic to. Free “Vials for
Life” available at the Police Department or call 7338333 These small containers hold all the information
needed with a special marking sticker for the front of
the refrigerator. Church Services

Important guidelines from the BOD
Fire Prevention
Our property in Land Harbor is very susceptible
to being fire hazards when conditions are dry. It is
important to realize that our homes are close together
in an area with high vegetation. As a result we need all
Property Owners to heed the following guidelines to
prevent the starting or spreading of fire:
(1)Do not throw cigarettes or matches from car
windows.
(2) NO burning of leaves, brush, construction debris
or garbage is permitted.
(3)Keep dry leaves cleaned up and removed from
your lot and house gutters.
(4)Do not use pine needles as landscaping close
to structures.
(5)Keep decks and porches clear of leaves, firewood
or other flammable objects.
(6)Keep a garden hose available for emergency use.

Dog Park News
Linda Chandler 733-1571
Welcome to Land Harbor dog owners and their
furry frolickers. Use of the Park is in full swing and
being thoroughly enjoyed. Just a couple of reminders: Applications for 2012 can be found at the POA Office
or from Linda Chandler (828-733-1571). You get your
key to the lock at that time. The good news is that you
don’t have to remember the combination, but you do
have to keep up with the key. Keys can be replaced for
$1.50 from Linda Chandler.
Hours set aside for use by our dogs are as follows. Big dogs continue to have 8:00 AM - 11:00 AM reserved
for them. Little dogs only will have 1:00 PM – 2:00
PM reserved for them. Little and gentle dogs who are
compatible will have 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM reserved for
them. And Yappy Hour (group play) will continue to
be scheduled from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. There is now a second dog run in Land Harbor.
Located in Laurel Hills, it is fenced, but not locked,
and open to any dog owner in Land Harbor. To get
there, turn into Laurel Hills at the mailboxes on the
way out of Land Harbor going toward Montezuma, go
past the first stop sign (it is a 3-way stop), and look for
the Laurel Hills Dog Park sign on the right. There is
parking at the end of the narrow road
Don’t forget our Dinner/General Meeting to
be held June 22, beginning at 5:00 PM at the Golf
House. The theme is: “We’ll have a Hot Dog in
the Old Town tonight.” It is BYOB and drinks, also
bring a side dish or dessert to share. The rest will be
provided. We’ll have some fun with a variety of kinds
of hot dogs.
I am sorry to have to say this – and in polite society,
too – but please, please, please pick up after your dogs. Whether inside the park or out, it is the courteous thing
to do. After all, it may be you or your dog stepping in
the muck someday. Bags and a waste disposal box are
available in the Park for your convenience. To borrow
a phrase from our feathered friends, you don’t want to
foul your own nest!

Reminder: We have a Visitor’s Box
at entrance to Land Harbor that
contains material to assist visitors
Last year we introduced a new feature at the entrance
to Land Harbor; a Visitor Information Box. All of us
have experienced the many people pulling into Land
Harbor, admiring the beautiful view of our lake and
then leaving. We also know that know no one will
consider our community until they have experienced our
wonderful amenities. The materials in the Information
Box are intended to promote those people to tour our
wonderful community.
Garbage Pick Up
Mondays: For A & D Section, Golf Ridge,
Lakeview, Ridgeview, Pine Ridge, River Bend, and
Golfview Townhouses.
Tuesdays: C & M Section, Key Ridge, Highland
Hills, High Crest, and Linville Meadows.
Wednesdays: B Section, Laurel Hills, Grandview, Harbor Heights, Laurel Brook, Linville Estates and
River Knoll.
The Information box will contain our Land Harbor
Brochures. Additionally we will have a self guided
tour of Land Harbor on a audio CD that can be played
on a automobile CD player and a print version of the
tour. Currently we have a limited supply of these
materials which are intended to promote Land Harbor
to first time visitors.
It is requested that property owners, guests and renters
not take these materials.

Land Harbor Spring Boogie
Pottery Class
June 19th
Land Harbor’s first shag dance of 2012, will be
held Saturday night, May 26th at the Recreation Center
from 7:30-10:30. The dance will feature shag, line and
slow dancing and the deejay will be Steve Coley from
Newton, NC.
Using the techniques of hand building, come and
create an original piece of pottery. Marie Lowe, an
experienced art teacher, will individually guide each
student through the process of shaping raw clay into
a vessel or plaque. The clay will be fired in her kiln,
returned to you for glazing, and then taken for the final
firing in the kiln.
First Shag Dance May 26th
An added feature to the dance will be a performance
by the Brushy Mountain Shag Dance Team from North
Wilkesboro, led and choreographed by Land Harbor
residents Becky and Gary Doran.
The price of admission is $6 per person and is limited
to the first 160 dancers who make reservations. Dancers
are encouraged to bring their own refreshments and
snacks, and coolers are welcome. Ice will be provided.
For more information or to make a reservation, please
e-mail [email protected] or call Joe or Lisa
Samuel at 733-1263.
Two other shag dances will be held at Land Harbor,
on July 28th and September 29th.
The class will be taught in two sessions and each
will be two hours long. There will be two classes
available this year. The first session of the first class
will be on June 19th and the second session will be on July 3rd. The first session of the second class will be
on July 10th and the second session on July 24th.
The cost per student is $50 which includes all
supplies and two firings in the kiln. Marie requests the
students are within the age range of ten through adult
and the maximum class size will be eight.
See the Recreation Department for more details.

Regular BOD Meeting
May 4, 2012
Members Present: Chuck Abrams, President; Warren
Kempf, Vice President; Bruce Clement, Treasurer;
Dick Collins, Secretary; Joe Coleman, Elaine Johnson,
David Mills, Hank Rullman & John Weber
I.
Call to Order
Chuck Abrams called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m. in
the Recreation Complex.
A. Invocation- Joe Coleman
II.
Approval of the Agenda
David Mills moved to approve the agenda. Joe Coleman
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
III.
Election of POA Board Secretary-Abrams
Warren Kempf moved to appoint Dick Collins as the new
Board Secretary. Hank Rullman seconded and the motion
carried unanimously.
IV.
Approval of Minutes
A. Regular Meeting-October 7, 2011-Collins
Joe Coleman moved to approve the minutes. David Mills
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
V.
Property Owner’s Request-Abrams
A. Initiation Fee Waiver-Proudfoot to Aronson (HH-39)
David Mills moved to waive the initiation fee and study
Policy R&R-11 at the next workshop. Warren Kempf
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
B.
Status from Developed Lot to Undeveloped LotCunningham (KR-17)
Chuck Abrams made the following comment: if a bunch of
people start pulling trailers off their lots and go from a
developed lot to an undeveloped lot it would make
everyone else’s fees increase to make the budget.
Warren Kempf stated that a developed lot is one with the
utilities hooked up, whether anything is on the lot, a trailer,
deck, etc. An undeveloped lot is one that no utilities are
hooked up such as water, sewer, cable, telephone and
electric. Once you hook up the utilities it becomes a
developed lot.
John Weber commented that in these tough times we
need to think outside the box and be willing to do things
that incentivize people who are willing to buy and clean up
properties that detract from everyone's property values,
and although in the short run a change in lot status does
impact the revenue model, in the long run we will all
benefit, especially when those homeowners later put a
house on the property and switch back to a developed lot.
Dick Collins moved to table this matter until the next Board
meeting and discuss the matter at the next workshop.
Bruce Clement seconded and the motion carried by a
majority. Voting for the motion were: Dick Collins, Bruce
Clement, Joe Coleman, Elaine Johnson, Warren Kempf
and Hank Rullman. Voting against the motion were: David
Mills and John Weber, John Weber stated, I am voting
against the motion to table because I believe we could act
on the Cunningham request today and still put together
something from a policy point of view for the next board
meeting.
C.
Replat-Portion of D-259 by Brown to Trout D-257
The two owners share a common property line and wish to
have it relocated in a minor exchange of property to satisfy
an encroachment. Approval of the POA is required for the
transfer to take place. The replat will have no effect on
neighbors and the owners will absorb all costs for the
replat.
Bruce Clement moved to approve the replat of D-259.
Hank Rullman seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
VI.
Reports and Presentations
A. Budget and Finance
1-Financial Report-Clement
At the end of April 2012 our financial condition is GOOD.
Annual Dues and Assessments received as of April 30th
are $2,380,800 out of the projection of $2,489,000 or
$108,200 below our projected dues and assessments
budget. We have collected 83.2% of the 2012 dues and
assessments.
Total General Fund Revenues are at $2,435,700, out of
the projection for March 2012 of $2,573,400 or 77.9% of
our total projected General Fund revenue.
We are $201,400 below our Total General Fund Revenue
plus Golf Revenue budget of $2,789,800 as of 4/30/2012.
The $201,400 revenue shortfall breaks down: Dues $108,200; initiation fees -$13,500; misc. income
Joe Coleman made the comment that we all want to do
something to help the Cunningham’s through this.

-$16,000; and golf -$63,700 so all revenue areas are
below our April 2012 revenue projections. The weak
economy and 2012 dam payments are continuing to cause
total revenue to be slow again this year.
B.
Fishing-Appointment of Rullman as Board LiaisonAbrams
Warren Kempf moved to appoint Hank Rullman as the
Board Liaison to the Fishing Committee. David Mills
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
C.
Golf-Coleman
Home sales at the end of April were 6 ($27,000) out of the
30 the board forecasted for 2012. There is 1 sale pending.
The 30 initiation fees may be spent during 2012 on capital
improvements such as road & pool improvements or on
new capital items.
The committee was unable to meet during April because
they didn’t have a quorum.
The committee is going to:
Actual total expenditures including golf as of 4/30/2012
were $935,600 compared to our projected cumulative year
to date expense budget of $1,218,400. We are $282,800
below our expense budget including golf as of 4/30/2012.
*Study riders fees
We are investing our reserves in CD’s, a money market
account & a very conservative US Government
guaranteed investment at 3.5% and taking as little risk as
possible to get a moderate return on our investments.
We had $837,232 in total reserves at the end of 2011,
$242,289 in our restricted Capital Reserve Fund and
$594,943 in the unrestricted reserve fund balance.
*Study winter golf
*Do a survey from members that were a part of the golf in
2008 but as of 2011 are no longer members. The study
will find out what happened and why they left golf.
David Mills made a suggestion to do a survey to current
golf members and find out what their thoughts are and how
it can be made better.
The committee meets every 3rd Monday and welcomes
everyone to attend.
D. Marketing-Weber
$1,057,600 Dam loan balance (4.5%, 4 more years) as of
4/30/2012 . We are holding $180,568 in the dam checking
account for all 2012 interest payments, recent principal
payments collected and a small reserve. 97.5% of our
Land Harbor members have either paid in full or paid their
2011 & 2012 $500 dam payment. 27 members owe $500
for just 2012, 3 have made partial 2012 payments, and 7
have not paid either the 2011 or 2012 payment. Notices
were sent to all on February 14th & March 28th.
Dick Collins moved to accept the Treasurer’s Report.
Warren Kempf seconded and the motion carried
unanimously.
VII.
Committees
A. Fishing-Amend Rules for Handout-Abrams
Hank Rullman moved the 2012 Fishing Rules and
Regulations for an addition to paragraph #5, as follows:
“Catch and Release” for largemouth bass and 16”
minimum for brown trout. This will allow these recent
stockings to grow. David Mills seconded and the motion
carried unanimously.
Chuck Abrams made the following comment: Several
people have approached me that came to the October
2011 information meeting and heard John Weber’s
presentation on marketing and every comment I got was
outstanding. We are finally looking at marketing as a
business item. The previous Marketing Committee did a
good job with what they had to work with. John and his
committee have put together what I consider to be a good
program for going forward.
Comment made my John Weber: Our objectives for the
2012 year are to focus on increasing homeowner
awareness of what it takes to sell a home in today’s
market, insuring we remain visible in the various
publications that tourists in the high country pickup,
maintain our visitor’s information box at the entrance, and
work on ways to insure visitors and new buyers receive a
warm welcome. Our Marketing Committee’s first project
will be, with input from John Weber based on his study, to
plan a homeowner’s workshop, to be held during season
with repeat sessions to maximize exposure, that will bring
in experts to present on the realities of home preparation
for sale, presentation, pricing, and what to expect from
your realtor.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 37
Our objective is to raise the homeowner’s awareness and
encourage them to take the necessary actions that will
help them move their properties that are on the market or
that they wish to place on the market. We encourage
EVERY homeowner to watch your Weekly Briefs and
Harbor Lights for these upcoming events and plan on
attending. We believe that if we first accomplish these
tasks, our plans for 2013 can expand to invest in making
even more people aware of all that we have to offer.
Warren Kempf moved to put a blurb in the Harbor Lights
about a vote going out to the membership to give the
Board permission to sell the 30.48 tract of property. This
vote will be sent out with the general election. Bruce
Clement seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Key points made:
XI.
Property Owners’ Input and Concerns as per
47F-3-108(b) Meetings
*We have a 2 year strategic plan and are executing on it
with high priority on addressing the issue of the quality of
appearance of homes. I want to thank Dick Collins who
has worked with Mr. Simpson to create a checklist to be
used by the POA in contacting homeowners whose
property does not meet community quality standards.
*Watch for information on the workshops on selling your
home in the tough economy
*We will be updating signage at the entrance to say
“Homes, Golf, Tennis, Recreation” and a new directional
sign will be erected that welcomes visitors and calls better
attention to the visitors information box.
*Please be good neighbors when out and about in the
greater high-country community, everyone is a prospective
buyer or may influence a buyer’s opinion of our
community.

Mick Driscoll-55 Yew Loop- Congratulated Elaine Johnson
and Hank Rullman for making it to the Board. He
commended John Weber for the good job he is doing with
the Marketing Committee. He also expressed concerns
about the Real Estate in Land Harbor.
Diane Shallis-90 Lakeview Rd- commented that she
purchased a home here in Land Harbor 45 days ago and
she had been looking for over three years and in those
three years home prices weren’t reduced any. She also
commented that the Realtors were not corporative in many
ways, they backed the property owners and when there
was a problem with the home they would not acknowledge
it.
Chuck Abrams stated that he appreciated their comments
and that not all but some prices had been reduced.

Look familiar? Do I have your attention?
Everyone likes a sale - right?
How many times have you shopped in The Golf Shop,
found something you wanted, and then said “I’ll wait
until it goes on sale.” YOUR WAIT IS OVER!!!!
All merchandise will be on sale EVERYDAY. How,
you ask? Here’s how it works:
- Our percentage of mark-up will be lower;
- In fact, our mark-up at retail will be equal to the old
mark-up less 20%;
- So you can see that our merchandise is already
discounted 20%.
We call this “Everyday Low Prices.” Any item that
was previously on sale at the end of the season for
$12.95, will be priced at $12.95 ALL season with our
new pricing policy. If that isn’t a WELCOME BACK,
I don’t know what is.
I am confident that our summer here at Land Harbor will
be filled with fun, family, and friends, along with, golf,
tennis, swimming, dancing, card playing, concerts, and
various other activities. Participate in as many as you
desire, particularly golf (need to get my plug in).
It is the property owners
responsibility to inform contractors
CONTRACTORS MUST
REGISTER FOR WORK IN
LAND HARBOR
I would like to remind everyone that if you hire
someone to do ANY TYPE OF WORK for you
here in Land Harbor, please remember, it is YOUR
responsibility to tell them:
(A) They must register with Jo at the Police Department
and get a sticker for all their vehicles.
B) They are responsible for removing ALL debris,
leaves, etc. from your property and not leave it
anywhere in Land Harbor.
(C) They cannot leave ANY equipment in Land Harbor
overnight, it must be removed daily.
(D) They must call Jo at 733-8310 EACH DAY to let
her know where they will be working.
(E) The may not use the Land Harbor dumpster to
dump their debris. All the above are rules set by Land Harbor and
we are having a tough time enforcing them due to the
sheer number of violators. Here in The Golf Shop, we are waiting for you to
drop by and see us. The Golf Shop staff remains the
same, friendly, helpful group as last year. Jeanette,
Kitty, Bob, Donita and I are here to serve you and
to help make your summer one to remember. See
ya soon!!
Anyone found abusing these rules will be banned
from Land Harbor and will not be allowed to work here
in the future. If they do return, they will be trespassing
and will be charged accordingly. Thanks, and Welcome Back
Your Golf Shop Manager - Bruce
Our Operations staff are too busy and do not have
the personnel to pick up debris generated by over 500
contractors. A golfer was overhead saying: “I’d move heaven and
earth to break 100 on this course.”
The caddie replied: “Try heaven, you’ve already moved

April 2012 Treasurers Financial Report
At the end of April 2012 our financial condition is GOOD. Annual Dues and
Assessments received as of April 30th are $2,380,800 out of the projection of $2,489,000
or $108,200 below our projected dues and assessments budget. We have collected 83.2%
of the 2012 dues and assessments.
Total General Fund Revenues are at $2,435,700, out of the projection for March 2012
of $2,573,400 or 77.9% of our total projected General Fund revenue.
We are $201,400 below our Total General Fund Revenue plus Golf Revenue budget
of $2,789,800 as of 4/30/2012. The $201,400 revenue shortfall breaks down: Dues
-$108,200; initiation fees -$13,500; misc. income -$16,000; and golf -$63,700 so all
revenue areas are below our April 2012 revenue projections. The weak economy and
2012 dam payments are continuing to cause total revenue to be slow again this year.
Home sales at the end of April were 6 ($27,000) out of the 30 the board forecasted
for 2012. There is 1 sale pending. The 30 initiation fees may be spent during 2012 on
capital improvements such as road & pool improvements or on new capital items.
Actual total expenditures including golf as of 4/30/2012 were $935,600 compared to
our projected cumulative year to date expense budget of $1,218,400. We are $282,800
below our expense budget including golf as of 4/30/2012.
We are investing our reserves in CD’s, a money market account & a very conservative
US Government guaranteed investment at 3.5% and taking as little risk as possible to get
a moderate return on our investments.
We had $837,232 in total reserves at the end of 2011, $242,289 in our restricted Capital
Reserve Fund and $594,943 in the unrestricted reserve fund balance.
$1,057,600 Dam loan balance (4.5%, 4 more years) as of 4/30/2012. We are holding
$180,568 in the dam checking account for all 2012 interest payments, recent principal
payments collected and a small reserve. 97.5% of our Land Harbor members have
either paid in full or paid their 2011 & 2012 $500 dam payment. 27 members owe
$500 for just 2012, 3 have made partial 2012 payments, and 7 have not paid either the
2011 or 2012 payment. Notices were sent to all on February 14th & March 28th.

This IS the year and the time to prepare for storms
Normally this would be a little early but according to weather experts and
the deadly storms we have seen so far this year, be prepared...NOW!
Violent and deadly storm activity so far this
year is double what it was last year. As recent
as early April (1st) and again in mid-April
(April 14th and 15th), weather experts were
advising we could be facing a long summer
of very severe storms, flooding and violent
weather activity because of the warming
this year. During the mid April storms in
the Midwest, the National Weather Service
issued several rare, very rare, catastrophic
warnings based on data acquired in new
equipment. ABC News reported 9600 record
high temperatures recorded nationwide in
March and April. According to the National
Weather Service, THIS IS A WARNING NOT
TO BE IGNORED.
In the event of a storm or emergency in
Land Harbor, Chief of Police, Gary Willis, is
our Emergency Coordinator and will be the
person responsible for staying in contact with
Avery County Emergency Management. Gary will also be responsible to make the decision
to open the dam gates in the event of flooding
dangers.

RESULTS OF BOARD POLL OF MARCH 16, 2012
POOL REPAIRS IN THE AMOUNT OF $80,000.00
The Board voted unanimously to approve $80,000.00 in expenditure(s) for necessary repairs to the Land
Habor Pool. Note: September 9, 2011 the Board approved up to $60,000.00 for pool repairs; however, it has
now been recommended by pool experts that we also replace the deck of the pool rather than having to do
extensive work each year due to the cracks in the decking.

2) Johnson-I would like to see us stick with the contract price. I know that it is just a small difference, but
every dollar saved is important. I would hope that it was a “turn key” contract price.

IMPORTANT GOLF CART
RULES CHANGE
After conferring with General Manager Mike.
Simpson and the Board of Directors, we have
decided that due to safety issues, all golf carts need to
be operated ON THE PARKWAY between "C"
Section and the Linville River Bridge when using
this area as a through-way. Do not cut into the
Recreation Complex just to go through. It is very
dangerous driving through the Recreation Complex as
vehicles are backing out from the upper lot. It is even
more dangerous attempting to enter or exit the golf
cart path near the upper lot entrance/exit to the
Parkway near the POA as automobile operators
cannot see a cart until it is too late to avoid a
collision.
If you are going to the Rec Complex, library or the
POA, just use caution and watch carefully for
traffic. You may park as you always have in an open
slot.
PLEASE be patient if you find yourself driving
behind a golf cart in this area. Thank you and be safe.
Chief Willis, Land Harbor Police
The Four Seasons Club will be
participating in the annual yard sale again this

Chuck Abrams said “we were able to operate under budget
and build the reserves to the goal of $750,00.”

improving Land Harbor home sales.
A very high percentage of Property Owners have paid
their dam assessment in full and the balance of the loan is

Harbor, and 2) they remove all debris they generate. This
includes bagged leaves and brush, limbs etc.

State of Land Harbor, our community is “in excellent financial
shape and continues to out perform other communities of a

a new “Visitors Information Box” containing a self guided
tour of Land Harbor on audio CD that can be played on a

What a Fishing Warden
least expects!
by Gunther Herdegen
I am the Fishing warden today (May 1, 2012), filling in
for another fishing committee member. I did my first round
at 7am, got the newspaper and stopped at the Land Harbor Police Office to get the two-way radio. I was returning
home, and as I drove past the 19th Hole, there were two
beautiful “ponies” on the Land Harbor practice green. I
stopped and called the LH Police, who told me they would
be right there, and also they would call the owner, Land
Harbor property owner, Randy Kiser.
Before the police got there, the “ponies” decided to
wander off. They crossed the street and went down the 10th
tee and then all the way to the 11th hole. When the police
arrived we followed the ponies up Goose Hollow Rd.
waiting for Randy Kiser to arrive. Then, the ponies scooted
into the woods and up into Laurel Hills. I told the police
I would drive up and look for them while they waited for
Kiser. I drove all around, was basically lost, and there they
were on Quail Lane. I called the police and within minutes
they were on the way with the owner. In a few minutes they
arrived, so I left to do another Warden tour.
I was wishing I had brought my camera, as I would
have had some exciting pictures! As I finished the tour and
was again driving past the 19th hole, there was the owner
with the two “ponies”, taking a break from guiding them
home with the car. I immediately stopped and asked Randy
if he could wait a few minutes so I could go home and get
my camera and he agreed. He was very thankful that I
had found them. I got back with the camera and took these
pictures.
Randy explained that these were actually miniature
horses, and that they had escaped from their temporary
enclosure. Their final enclosure (located just past the
Land Harbor line going towards Lovens Lumber) will
be completed in a couple of days. What an adventure ....
especially for a Fishing Warden! Below are pictures of the
ponies, Randy Kiser and yours truly.
Your golf committee is now accepting registrations
for this year’s NEWBIE CLINICS but this fella is going to require some special committee consideration.
Uninvited, he showed up on the practice green May
1st. Perhaps he was just eye-balling the challenge as
he had no clubs with him. Photo thanks to Sara Jo
Grassman.
