FWIW January 16, 2015

Editor’s Comments
Somehow, this time of year most conversations include something about the weather. For those
of us who have been through much worse winters, so far this one is fairly “mild”. Some feel,
however, that we won’t get out unscathed – we still have several months ahead that can deliver
surprises, so be prepared, but also enjoy this beautiful season in Alpine – winter! The listing on
the last page outlines the many activities that abound in Alpine – even now. Shuffleboard has
begun again after our hiatus for the holidays, and we continue to get good crowds for that and
also for the various specials offered by our restaurant, including ½ priced pizza on Thursdays.
We are getting several new homeowners and some of them are here full-time, so we encourage
everyone to give them a proper Alpine welcome and invite them to join in some of the fun things
we enjoy here. It’s a great way to meet new friends and renew old friendships, so get involved.
Don’t forget to put your constructive suggestions in the box in the lobby or email our GM – let’s
help him and his staff continue to move Alpine forward and keep the good morale strong. If you
have a problem, please also offer a solution – we all have a stake in this place we call home.
Remember, if you have contributions for FWIW, please email them to me at
[email protected]. Or you may use the FWIW box on the counter in the lobby. The
deadline to submit items for the next issue of FWIW is Wed., Jan. 28th, and the next issue will be
published on Fri.. Jan. 30, 2015. Enjoy reading all the news in your newsletter, which is
available in the lobby and on Alpine Lake’s website – www.alpinelake.com; then click on FWIW
and choose the date. Happy reading.
Two things define you – your patience when you have nothing
and your attitude when you have everything!
TIMELY NOTICES & REMINDERS….
EGGS/PRODUCE – by Sheila Amato
Next deliveries will be Wed., Jan. 21 & 28 – approx. 11:15 AM. James Stemple, our local farmer
who graciously delivers eggs right to Alpine on Wednesdays, tells us his chickens are not laying
like they should, which makes it difficult for him to completely fill our orders. He does his best,
but be prepared to possibly get fewer dozen than you ordered, until he can motivate his chickens to
step it up. To order, call Sheila at (304) 789-5555 or respond to the email sent before each
delivery. Thank you.
REMINDER – by Linette Sines, Alpine Business Manager
If you are on quarterly installment plan for the 2014/15 assessments, your 4th quarter payment is
due Feb. 1st.
DISPOSING OF AN ARTIFICIAL CHRISTMAS TREE? Your Beautification Committee
could use it for additional swags to decorate outside next year. If you have one to donate, call or
email Barb Conway – (304) 789-2654 or [email protected]. Thanks.

OF INTEREST TO OUR COMMUNITY
CHECK listings on the last page of FWIW for a complete line-up of activities that are on-going
in Alpine, even in winter months. There’s something for everyone, so choose your favorites and
participate. It’s a great way to enjoy your friends and neighbors and do fun things, too.
LIONS CLUB OUTREACH PROJECTS – by Mike Andes
Your local Lions Club have a continuing need for your support of their various projects to help
needy Terra Alta families. If you haven’t already made a donation, please consider sending one
to our Treasurer, Kathy Berry, 188 Goldfinch Lane, Terra Alta, WV 26764. Alpine’s generosity
is appreciated as we continue our outreach efforts in our own community. Thank you.
DO YOU HAVE A LIVE CHRISTMAS TREE LOOKING FOR A NEW ‘HOME’?
Our Lake Committee adds them to key parts of our lake – great way to recycle. Call Tom Kinsey,
Chair, to arrange for pick-up or drop-off. The fish will thank you.
ALPUC NEWS – from Kim Mayne, ALPUC
We strive to read each customer’s meter every month, and sometimes winter at Alpine can make
that task quite challenging. We have, on occasion, estimated meters, but with so many gone for
the winter months, we prefer to read them if at all possible to detect any potential issues. You can
help us to help you by keeping your meter cleaned off as much as possible. We appreciate your
cooperation. Please notify the ALPUC office of any changes in your mailing address and/or
phone numbers.
It is never too early to give some thought to volunteering in our community. The ALPUC Board
will have two (2) members’ terms expiring in 2015. If you are interested, or would like more
information, please contact our office or any current board member. Deadline to file is March,
so please do it now. Thank you.
Maxine on COLD… You know it’s cold when your teeth start chattering, and
they’re still on the nightstand.

Thoughts, Prayers & Thank You Messages
This section of FWIW is one of the best loved because it gives us an opportunity to keep up
with our neighbors and friends by reporting good news as well as offering support when folks
are going through difficult times. Thank you for passing along updates and news.
Update on Bob “Gunner” Combs - A memorial service was held at Newman’s Funeral Home,
Grantsville, MD on Sat. Jan. 10 with interment at Arlington National Cemetery. A memorial
service will also be planned at a later date at the Memorial Rock in Alpine. Details will come
later.
Alpine lost another resident, David Griffith, who died on Jan. 5th at the age of 62. Our deepest
sympathy is extended to his wife, Debbie, and their family at this time of loss. Please keep them
in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you note from Sally Rocchi – “I would like to thank all my Alpine Lake friends and
neighbors who have sent me get-well wishes and cards. Your thoughts are very much
appreciated. I hope to be up and active in the near future, but I’m going to wait until all the
Christmas decorations are put away.”  Sally
We’re sad to report that Jim Wilson’s mother, Betty Wilson, died this week at the age of 85 in
Vienna, WV. A memorial service is planned for Jan. 19 in Vienna. Betty’s obituary can be read
on the website for Lambert-Tatman Funeral Home. We extend deepest sympathy from our
Alpine community to Jim, Linda and family.
Thank You – Thanks to all who attended our first Movie Night of 2015. Good food and fun were
enjoyed by all. Teddi Cox and Kathy Berry volunteered to host the next event. Thanks.
Sharon Golmitz & Norleen Hoadley
Editor’s Note: Please see their Feb. event article under “Coming Soon” heading in this FWIW.
We know there are some in our community dealing with health issues, family and friend losses,
and other challenges, so if you know of someone who would like us to remember them in this
section of FWIW (with their permission), please let us know. We also ask that you continue to
remember friends and neighbors we’ve mentioned in previous issues – the need is ongoing.
Always believe something wonderful is going to happen. Even with all the ups and
downs, never take a day for granted. Smile, cherish the little things, and remember to
hug the ones you really love!
CELEBRATIONS
Watch for the list of February birthday and anniversary celebrants in the next issue of FWIW
(Jan. 30). We have lots of folks who would enjoy getting a card or wish from you. Make
someone’s day!
Send an email if you’d like to have your special day recognized here, which gives us permission
to publish your name and date. Thanks.

HAPPENINGS AROUND THE LAKE & NEARBY…
SHUFFLEBOARD NEWS – by Bob Bayer, “Commissioner”
Week 8: Jan. 8th – 26 shufflers take to the unlevel board after a 2-week hiatus for the holidays.
Thursday nite wife finally returns as Charlotte & Bob breeze thru the winners’ bracket until
running into the Berry buzz saw!! Joyce Wachter returns and continues her distracting antics,
prompting Loring to wish she was in the back seat. Vicki Flink joins the group for the 1st time
this season, and pairs with Kay to give their opponents a good run. It’s usually John who is the
emotional one, but Pat was jumping up and down and throwing 5 pts for a win. Then, the Laings
and the Youngs were forced to square off twice in a couple of shootouts. There was a ‘flurry’ of
hangers tonight, as Kay throws 1 for a 6-0 lead; then Barry throws one to catch up, only to have
Kay throw another hanger with 7 pts to win! Wayne records a hanger too (no, that’s not a typo),
which Cindy followed up with 3 for a win. Some other notable scores: Sam and John each had
6pt throws, and Cathy, Michelle, Pat (twice), Loring, Jim, Kathy (twice), Sam and Charlotte all
recorded 5-pt throws! All in all, a good, competitive evening of shuffleboard! Here are the
results:
Jan. 8th - 1st place: Kathy & Sam Berry (had to win 2 in championship round!)
2nd place: Charlotte & Bob (had to lose 2 in championship round!)
3rd place: Pat & John Laing (had to beat the once “dreaded” Youngs in a rematch)
We continue to meet every Thursday evening throughout the winter months in the Lakers’
Lounge. Sign up before 6:00 PM – all are welcome to join our shenanigans that we call more fun
than a “barrel of monkeys”. See you all then.
You’re only young once – but you can be immature forever!
“FUN-FIT” CORNER – Compliments of the AM Aerobics Group
Well, so far in 2015, we’ve only been able to meet a couple times, thanks to the unpredictable
weather we always have in Alpine. When we do meet, though, it’s never boring. Class sizes
have continued to be good, showing us that those of us who are here year-round really enjoy
being able to exercise together and have fun doing it. Everyone is welcome – men & women, so
come see for yourself. We’re always encouraged to “listen to our own body” and “do what you
can” – no pressure unless you want more. Start anytime – we meet Mon., Wed. & Fri. mornings
at 9 AM for an hour. See you there.
Fitness Tip: Prep your mind and body for better sleep at night holding a plank for 15 seconds.
Planks force you to focus which helps block stressful thoughts that can interfere with sleep. They
also strengthen your core, which can relieve aches that can wake you during the night.
I just ran 5 miles – and what a workout ….
I didn’t think that ice cream truck would EVER stop!!!

FROM MANAGEMENT & STAFF
GENERAL MANAGER’S CORNER – by Freddie Harrison, GM
Happy New Year to all! The staff and I want to make 2015 a year to remember – we all look
forward to an amazing upcoming year. If the weather will cooperate, you are going to see some
projects taking place. Alpine will have a new Security/Welcome Center and Cart Barn being
constructed in the coming months. I have been working on getting proposals for window
replacements throughout the lodge, concrete sidewalk estimates, and other areas in need of some
restoration. Preliminary pool work is still currently underway. These are exciting times for the
future of Alpine Lake. We will also have a new menu coming out in the near future.
Times are rough in the winter months here at the lake. We have recently reduced the hours of
operation. The Front Desk hours are Mon.-Sat. 8 AM – 4 PM; Sun. 8 AM – 3 PM; and Lakers’
Lounge hours are Mon.-Fri. 3 PM – 9 PM and Sat./Sun. 11 AM – 9 PM. The Evergreene Room
will only be open for special events. We have also had to make some layoffs. Without having as
much revenue-driving business during the winter months, it is difficult to sustain normal working
hours.
The 2015 golf membership forms are now available online. Our golf course had a press release in
three local newspapers recently, about the upcoming 2015 golf season. In the coming weeks, the
first blast of advertising will take place for our membership drive. This will involve direct mail to
Uniontown, Kingwood, Terra Alta, Oakland, and Morgantown. Press releases and ads will be in
the Dominion Post, The Republican, and The Preston County Pennysaver. We will also be
utilizing the Chamber of Commerce for Preston and Garrett counties, and other free means of
advertising. Thank you.
MARKETING DIRECTOR NEWS – by Lauren Kotula
I hope everyone is staying warm in the cold weather! I’m already excited for the busy summer
months at Alpine Lake. Live music every Friday from Memorial Day to Labor Day at the lodge;
no cover – Floyd Cowger, Patrick O’Brennan, Scott Alexander, Luke Short, Soul Shine, and
more. Complete list of dates coming soon, so be sure to follow Alpine Lake on Facebook for
updates. Golf memberships can be found at the Front Desk or on the Alpine Lake website. Save
the date for the Bluegrass Festival on Sat., Aug. 29. More information on bands coming soon!
If you have suggestions or ideas for our event, please email me at [email protected].
The new and improved Lakers’ Lounge menu will take effect Fri., Jan. 23. Enjoy delicious
dinner entrees like our fresh, jumbo crab cakes, 3-piece mountain-fried chicken, shrimp scampi
over a bed of fettuccini noodles, juicy steak or grilled chicken fajitas, 8 oz. filet with your choice
of extra flavor by adding peppers, onions & mushrooms, grilled or fried shrimp, ½ lb. crab legs or
lump crab cake. Check our Weekly Specials and Winter Happy Hour choices on the page
outlining Winter Hours and Lakers’ Lounge special deals (page 9).
Tickets for Valentine’s Day Dance go on sale January 19th at the front desk.
BUSINESS OFFICE NEWS – by Linette Sines, Business Manager
I would like to extend a warm welcome to our newest homeowners, Ronald & Carol Belcastro.
The Belcastros purchased 263 Woodbine Drive, and will be part-time residents.
4th Quarter Assessment installment bills have now been mailed. If you are on a quarterly
payment plan, be sure to submit your final payment by Feb. 1st. Thank you.
Editor’s Note: See Security Report below…nice that news in this section took 2 pages.

FROM MANAGEMENT & STAFF
SECURITY NEWS – by Ralph Hauger, Director of Security
As you all may or may not know, construction on the new security building will be starting soon.
Traffic entering and exiting will likely be reduced to one lane (i.e. enter left side of current
building; exit right side). With that in mind, everyone must be aware that slower speeds entering
or exiting must be observed for the safety of the construction workers, as well as security officers.
We will be directing traffic at some point. Keep in mind this may change, as things often do. I
will do my best to keep you up to speed. If traffic is reduced to one lane, traffic entering will
have to yield to exiting traffic, and traffic exiting will have to yield to traffic entering. This will
be a short-term inconvenience, and I ask that everyone exercise patience during the construction
phase. Thank you.
ALPOA BOARD NEWS
PRESIDENT’S REPORT – by Ginger, Tucker, President
Time flies when you’re having fun! We awarded the contract to build the new security building
(guard shack) and golf cart barn to Steve Edwards Construction. We had received five bids and
Steve’s bid included significant finish work while still coming in the middle range. The builder
will construct the security building behind the existing guard shack, which will be demolished
upon completion of the new building, allowing our security force to continue to monitor
incoming vehicles during construction. The building layout sketch is available at the front desk
for review. The golf cart barn will be 40’x80’ and will accommodate 72 carts with a gravel floor.
The sketch is also available at the front desk for review. Both of these buildings are being built
with the proceeds from our construction loan.
The work in the new pool continues. Fred Isennock, the pool construction manager, has arranged
for 900 tons of stone backfill for the existing pool to bring it to the new level. The new pool will
be approx. 24’x42’ with a depth of 4-6 feet. The process of backfilling will require considerable
equipment use, which may require closing the lodge for employees, visitors and patrons while the
process is completed. Fred anticipates the closing would only be necessary for one week, and he
will notify the GM when everything is aligned so he can notify all personnel of the closing. We
apologize for the inconvenience, but this is a necessary safety and health precaution.
The board also reviewed estimates for replacing windows in the golf pro shop, Rhododendron
Room and lodge stairway. We will obtain more estimates before making a decision.
Please note the completion of the Hospitality Station in the Mtn. Laurel Dining Room. We are
awaiting delivery of an industrial Keurig machine and supplies from SYSCO. This will provide
continental service to patrons, due to our reduced service hours.
Work has also started upstairs in the Lakers’ Lounge, enclosing the space behind the beams on
the restroom end of the upper level. Frank Slack, our lodge maintenance man, has also covered
the whole-house fan, which made a significant difference in the temperature in the lounge.
Our regular workshop meeting will be held on Sat., Jan. 24th at 10:00 AM.

COMMITTEE REPORTS
PROPERTY OWNERS COMMITTEE – by Bernie & Birgit Stock, Co-Chairs
Well, winter has finally arrived at Alpine Lake. We hope everyone has properly prepared their
homes for the cold weather, and if you are a part-timer, have someone looking over it from time
to time. The Boathouse pipes froze the other night when temperatures dropped below zero, but
we caught it in time without damage. Our heating system was also on the blink, but was resolved
before damage occurred. If you come up occasionally, call Security ahead of time to check on
the weather if you can get into your driveway.
Our annual New Year’s Eve Party at the lodge was not attended as well as we had hoped for,
there were some cancellations prior to the event. Those who did attend seemed to have a good
time and lots of room on the dance floor. We hope to see a bigger turn out in the future, maybe
some better planning along with more property owner input we can ensure a more pleasant
experience for the attendees.
Despite the weather, activities continue around the lake. New faces are joining us as well. There
are still a few football games and lots of basketball to be watched in the Lounge. Come join your
friends to cheer on your favorite team. If we have a Super Bowl card, make sure you come in to
buy a square or two.
The farewell party for the Barrys had a great turnout (about 50 people). Everyone wished them
well as they were roasted and toasted. The latest report from Gerda was her seeing 6 deer outside
their window on the second day at Leisure World. They must have jumped into the moving
truck.
We hope to see more transparency and financial scrutiny in the coming months, as our board and
staff continue to find ways to put us in the black. Now, let it snow!!!
BEAUTIFICATION COMMITTEE – by Barb Conway & Wilma Rumble, Co-Chairs
Welcome to 2105!! It’s now time to box up Christmas decorations and incorporate our
Valentine’s Day accessories to the lobby tree and dining room decorations, in anticipation of a
Valentine’s Day dance there. Please try to meet at the lodge on Wed., Jan. 21st at 10:00 AM to
take down and store the Christmas decorations. If weather permits, we can also put the outdoor
swags into storage for next year. Please try to join us – the job is easier when shared – it’s also a
good chance to catch up with your neighbors! See you on Wednesday. Thank you.
MARKETING COMMITTEE – By Ronnie Schiffbauer & Michele Hall, Co-Chairs
The Marketing Committee is working on next fiscal year’s budget proposal, including analyzing
the results of special events. The committee will be working on a survey to find out what
property owners (Alpine’s primary customers) want in each type of venue, such as entertainment,
food, setting, time length and associated costs. The new “realtor packets’ including a copy of
“Live Your Dreams” DVD are being hand-delivered to local realtors, so they can show their
clients our gorgeous setting and the wonderful value Alpine Lake offers to them. Four-season
enthusiasts are enjoying the quiet beauty of Alpine Lake’s winter season, staying warm and
cozy at home, or gathering for indoor fun at Mon. night movies, Wed. game night, Thur. night
shuffleboard and cheering on their favorite sports team in the Lakers’ Lounge.

More COMMITTEE REPORTS
ECC COMMITTEE – by Dick Gallagher, Chair
The days are getting longer, and summer is almost here. It’s time to line up those contractors for
the home improvement projects. A new deck, a screened porch, a garage, an addition….all of
these will enhance your home and your Alpine experience. Get together with the contractors and
discuss your plans so we can process the permits and you’ll be ready to go when the weather
breaks. Also, this is a reminder that exterior painting and staining must be approved before the
project begins. This is a no-fee permit, but color samples must be submitted before you start.
This is also a great time to talk to friends about the possibility of buying a home in Alpine. There
are several homes for sale – in all price ranges – and we would certainly welcome new members
to our community. Have them go to the website and check out FWIW to get a feel for all of the
amenities we have to offer. We would really like to have new young members in our community.
Let everyone know how great it is to be part of Alpine Lake.
