Newland, NC 28657 828.390.0648 June 2015 Continued from page 1 “Lets make Mike Simpson the Big Cheese of Avery County” PRESIDENTS MESSAGE Land Harbor is a hot market again. We sold 81 homes as of December 31, 2014. This is good news and bad news; friends are selling and moving away, but we are gaining new friends. Our dues collection rate for 2014 was 100.4%. With Mike’s diligence over our budget, we ended the year $154,619 on the plus side, per our audited financials. Land Harbor is financially sound. “Land Harbor Cares” made a difference last summer, improving the curb appeal of 8 homes. This was made possible by residents who volunteered to help their neighbors. Thank you. Check the Land Harbor website for the dates of our Workshops, Board Meetings and Information Meetings. It’s a “win-win”! Your attendance is appreciated and this is an opportunity for you to let your voice be heard.

But it is up to us to keep it that way. We should not take security for granted or leave it to others. To make it work requires a great deal of effort and care on your part. The following will enhance your home security: * If you have an alarm system, don’t fail to set it when you leave your home even for a short time. * Leave lights on both inside and outside your home. * Leave TV or radio on when gone for short periods. * If you plan to be away for at least 24 hours, advise Land Harbor Police at 733-8333. * Be sure all doors, including garage, are secured at night. * If you hear or see anything strange, call Land Harbor Police at 7338333. * Do not leave party/dinner reservations around for workmen and strangers to see. * Never leave doors or windows unlocked when you are away from home. * Never leave cash lying around for strangers to see. * Don’t tell strangers or service people that you will not be home for extended periods of time and for that matter, even short periods of time. If you set an appointment and cannot meet them at a specific time, advise them you will be busy with an outdoor project or visiting next door briefly. * STORIES SOUND FAMILIAR? You may notice that sometimes stories or comments put forth in the Harbor Lights may sound familiar or you may recall reading them before. That does happen primarily because of the Weekly Briefs. Often I will run a brief item in the weekly and then elaborate on the item in the Harbor Lights as there is more space available. * FOXES IN LAND HARBOR? HOW ABOUT COYOTES? ANOTHER SCAMMER WARNING I receive quite a few e-mails asking if we have coyotes and foxes in Land Harbor. I have seen foxes here but not coyotes. Coyotes it seems, are on the increase just about everywhere including big cities and have become a curiosity. Both are very shy and prefer to avoid humans and both are nocturnal and prefer to hunt and travel at night. Foxes and coyotes belong to the dog family which includes wolves and gray foxes. They are incredibly adaptable and this makes them successful colonizers if they should choose to live close to humans. A couple of years ago we had foxes living in the area around the tenth hole. A fox will not bother humans unless they are fed regularly and then they can become a nuisance “begging.” I am not aware of a report of a fox bothering a pet or of any complaints about foxes. If you see a fox and especially a fox with kits, pay no attention to it and do not go near it. DO NOT FEED IT. They are not likely to attack a person but they are very protective of their young and a human’s presence will indeed make them nervous. Foxes will do almost anything to avoid a person. About the only thing that will draw them close is hunger and food. If a fox should establish a habit of traveling close to your residence do not leave food outside for cats and dogs. Also, make sure your trash container lids are secure. If you do have a tip or a warning about foxes or coyotes, or see either, drop me an e-mail. My email is [email protected] * HOW ABOUT THIS FOR ACTUAL performance evaluations that were taken from Federal Employee records: “It’s hard to believe that he beat out a million other sperm.” Or...how about this one - “this employee is depriving some village of an idiot.” * DEADHEADERS INVITE YOU to volunteer to help keep our flower beds beautiful. They invite anyone who enjoys gardening to join this fun group. You can contact the POA and give them your information. * June 2015 June 2015 THESE GUYS ARE SMOOTH Here is a brand new scamming approach by fraudulent telemarketers based in Jamaica with ties to Miami and several other large cities. They are calling people in the U.S. telling them they have won a sweepstakes, foreign lottery and even Publishers Clearing House. They identify themselves as lawyers, government officials, customs officials or lottery representatives. These guys are smooth, very bright, speak perfect English and are well educated. They are aware of very current events and will engage you in some short conversation and friendly discussion to impress you. They are very respectful to you and every action is designed to make you lower your guard and keep you on the phone. They tell people they have won vacations, cars or thousands and even millions of dollars. “Winners” need only pay fees for shipping, insurance, customs duties or taxes before they can claim their prizes. It is well to point out legitimate sweepstakes don’t require you to pay insurance, taxes or shipping and handling charges to collect your prize. Unfortunately several vulnerable elderly residents of a well known Florida retirement community were the targets recently. One resident lost as much as $70,000. If someone calls you and tells you that you won something, do not give or send them any information of any kind. The smartest thing is just hang up on them. If for some reason you stay on the phone, tell them you will have your attorney call them and ask for their telephone number. Chances are you will not hear back from them. Report the call to police It is A WONDERFUL WORLD! Page 5 Page 5 th any r email from 2:00 until 4:00 PM. Please give it a try, if you're interested.

Rules for Renters, Guests & Family On our website, www.linvillelandharbor.com, under the Member’s section you will find a document - Amenity Guest Pass which is the form entitled Rental-Guest-Family Member Authorization. This form is designed to let us know who is renting your house, who your guests are, or the name(s) of your family members who will be using the facilities of Land Harbor. Forms are also available at the POA Office. This form needs to be completed for each person (couple). The guests and rental policies for swimming, tennis, fishing and golf are as follows: Griffin Hauling Handling your rv & other relocation needs. Page 22 Golf - To use the golf course several options are available to either A- Join as a member; B- Purchase a coupon package; C- Pay daily fees. Someone on the golf shop staff can assist you in choosing the right option to optimize your enjoyment of the golf course during your stay at Land Harbor. Stop by the golf shop for more information. To join as a member, you must pay your membership dues at the POA office, Monday – Friday, during normal business hours. CVFD has your back - welcome back! Swimming Pool - If you intend to have guests or renters during the 2015- Season using the swimming pool, you will need to pick up your guest (pool) pass at the POA office. If you will not be coming to Land Harbor, you may write us and ask us to mail you the guest pass for your guests or renters. They will be unable to pick this up without the authorization form being completed by you. We recommend that the guest (pool) pass remain in your home so it will be available to guests and renters. Fishing or Racquet Club - This policy does not change the established procedure for guests or renters who fish or play tennis or pickleball. To be issued a fishing permit, guests or renters must be accompanied by a property owner or the appropriate form completed. The same form can be used for your guests or renters who will be playing tennis. By use of the correct form we will be able to sell them the coupon sheet for the tennis or for a Regular Membership if they are a renter. A guest does not have to be accompanied by a member in order to play tennis. They simply pay by using the honor boxes located at the tennis courts. Crossnore Volunteer Fire Department welcomes all our Land Harbor friends and neighbors back to this wonderful mountain community. We wish you a safe, healthy, and fun summer! The CVFD is Land Harbor’s DESIGNATED EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONDER FOR ALL HEALTH AND SAFETY EMERGENCIES. A call to “911” (or the firehouse) brings us to your family emergency as quickly as possible. We are 34 highly trained (and dedicated) individuals with many different life-saving skill sets (EMT, “off road rescue”, fire suppression, “jaws of life”…). We train for certifications on our own time and volunteer for the benefit of the greater community in which we all live. The CVFD has responded to more than 75 emergency calls in Land Harbor since last summer. Avery County supports only one paid professional at the firehouse five days a week. Your generosity (along with that of the Crossnore School) provided for staffing at the firehouse every weekend day - all year long. A “staffed firehouse” insures the promptest emergency response time possible. This saves lives and property. We hope you will join us in supporting this crucial level of service again this year. We sincerely appreciate your help.

Good but we can and will do better. Last month I told you that the real estate picture had changed in Land Harbor. A long time agent left Linville Area Mountain Properties (LAMP) and another agent left Mountain Run. Both agents located with another area real estate office. While this did pose a little inconvenience for a short time, LAMP and Mountain Run have already hired agents to replace those who have left. They reported the newly hired agents "are working even harder to sell more homes in Land Harbor in 2015." That's good news! Now we have four very active and knowledgeable real estate companies working to sell in Land Harbor, three of them national. We have LAMP, Mountain Run-Keller Williams, Century 21 and Keller Williams High Country also out of Boone, who has been very actively selling and listing in Land Harbor for about a year. What are we (Land Harbor) doing to help? The Board and Mike Simpson are exploring ways to treat equitably all four companies and share- our information. Tyler Hood, our Marketing Administrator, will work with all four companies to be certain the benefits from the Land Harbor web site such as sales leads are given to all four companies. The Marketing Committee will share our information with all four companies especially the Stay and Play leads and results of Land Harbor visits. ___________________________________________ _________________________________________ PIX PIX ___________________________________________ Land Harbor homes offer outstanding values _________________________________________ Beautiful homes are everywhere in Land Harbor The overall home sales situation in Land Harbor, I believe, has changed mostly for the better. A few years ago we had only one Real Estate company actively serving our Land Harbor market. The board was concerned that in the poor market for home sales this was not enough and encouraged Mountain Run to begin more active participation in our home sales market. This has been a success, along with LAMP’S continued good work, the situation is much improved. June 2015 Page 29 As good as this increased selling information is for Land Harbor, many of our contacts and home sales still come from YOU....our members. That is why we need each of you to actively promote the Stay and Play to your neighbors, relatives, friends and acquaintances. Make them familiar with what you like about Land Harbor and its wonderful amenities and casual life style. Many of them will like the same thing you like. Refer them to our web site or the Marketing Committee. You can rely on members of the Marketing Committee to call your contacts and host them on a very enjoyable visit. Remember, we really have no match in the High Country. Help us help you. June 2015 Page 29 CLASSIFIED ADS Call Patricia Briggs, 733-8301. Ads must be paid for in advance.

It's time to renew and review. Fees for 2015 are due now and remain the same as last year - $15.00 per dog. You will get your very own copy of the updated Rules and Regulations when you join. The Dog Park is for use by members only. Application forms are located in the POA office, on the Land Harbor Web site, and from Linda Chandler 828-733-1571.

Page 38 Page 38 June 2015 June 2015 Land Harbor has come a long way since we started by Rick Hammell If you have lived in Land Harbor even just a short time you no doubt have heard many stories of how we were started, the problems we faced in the early years and the struggles faced by the early residents. For those who have lived here for a few years, a reminder of those traumatic times makes us appreciate what we have even more. Some time ago I was given a newspaper article that ran in the Chapel Hills (NC) News on Sunday, April 25, 1999 (the author is unknown.) I hope you will enjoy some of the excerpts taken from that article. June 2015 June 2015 “Take more than 700 acres of choice North Carolina mountain land that includes a trout filled river and lake. Add a golf course, heated swimming pool and recreation hall. Subdivide into lots. Sounds like a fool-proof recipe for success, but it failed.” The article described the horror when Land Harbor’s developer Carolina Caribbean Corporation, declared bankruptcy in 1975. The article went on to say “The resort started in 1969, primarily for recreation vehicles, but with some areas for homes. But the recession of the early 70s drove the developer to bankruptcy.” Land Harbor’s “tradition of working together, planning together and playing together saved this resort” “In September 1975, all common buildings and recreational facilities were under lock and key.” The writer commented that similar communities in North Carolina failed around the same time. But in Land Harbor’s case “the property owners banded together, first to have the locks removed and then to save the resort. A separate corporation was set up to buy, develop and sell property. Residents performed clerical and supervisory work, ran the recreation program and golf shop.” The article continued “Hoping to raise enough money to buy the greater part of Land Harbor - its amenities and unsold lots - the corporation offered first mortgage, interest bearing bonds to property owners. These funds were used to buy the property and to continue development. Lots sold to new buyers raised new capital. The owner’s investment of time and money paid off. Ten years later, enough property had been sold for all the bonds to be redeemed with interest.” What happened in that period of time was nothing short of fantastic. Property owner’s built more and larger homes and about “200 families became year-round residents. Some lots for recreational vehicles remain, and the community is, and always will be, RV friendly.” The writer credits Land Harbor’s success to the “tradition of working together, planning together and playing together this saved the resort. Land Harbor continues to be a friendly, informal and unpretentious community where the ‘can do’ spirit prevails. Today Land Harbor has over 300 year-round residents. Home and lot values have increased significantly and amenities have kept pace. We now have an 18 hole golf course, tennis courts, enlarged recreation center, new and larger swimming pool, meeting and craft rooms and so much more. Land Harbor is sound financially and still very affordable. Land Harbor remains unique. Over 2600 homeowners and RVsite residents are equal members. All share in the success of this “little piece of heaven.” Page 39 Page 39 Recreation Daily Schedule MONDAY 8:30 - 9:30 MH EXERCISE Yoga 9:30 T TENNIS Ladies' Doubles Rally 10:00 - 11:00 A CHURCH Inspirational Bible Book Study 10:00 -

Yet here we are getting ready for a new season and by now many of us have been on the courts playing our favorite game. The early birds and full time residents have been playing since the middle of April and the “soft” courts were ready the first week in May. The Racquet Club has a full calendar of events for the year. We have five pot luck dinners scheduled and we all know how good the food is and the entertainment is even better. By the time you are reading this we will have hosted the High Country Senior Games in Tennis and this year in Pickleball as well. Thanks to all of you who assisted and participated, making this another successful event. As many of you know or will soon know we have some new items at the courts this year. New this year is an effort to schedule a mixed doubles group on Wednesdays (thanks Danny and John). A newer golf cart was donated by POA Board member Jerry Daughtry and Danny, in maintenance, put a utility bed on the back of it. We also have two new nets, two new brooms, a lute and a clay spreader. These items will help us keep the courts in great shape. We also want to thank the POA for picking up the cost, $9,400, to repair the two hard courts. Thanks to the Tennis Committee for their efforts, making our club the best. As we say at the start of each game, Love Love! _____________________ information about the "how to's" associated with joining an active, friendly association of women golfers.
