November 2011 GOODNIGHT IRENE!!!
November 2011 GOODNIGHT IRENE!!! Hurricane Irene visited us recently in South Down and left visible images of it’s impact. We were very fortunate that she didn’t travel further east. ATTENTION SNOWMOBILERS Hopefully snow will be here soon so that we can enjoy the upcoming snowmobile season. Here are a few notes for you to follow: Signs have been put up at the key entry points to South Down informing non-owners to stay on “marked county trails” (groomed and marked by Belknap Snowmobile Club that run through Recreation Area, across Outerbridge, through Fields Crossing wetlands and back up to Parade Road, and include the railroad tracks along Paugus Bay. ) That’s it!. All of the marked walking and cross country trails within SD are only for walking, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing. They have been groomed specifically for that purpose. Owners should only use the most direct access from their homes to drive to the county trails and back. If you need to practice, use the Recreation Area carefully. If you must use the SD trails, the speed limit is 10 MPH and any walking person has the right of way on the trail. Please slow down and stop to let them pass safely. Obey all rules and laws for safe snowmobile use . If you don’t know what they are, get a copy from a dealer or the NH Bureau of Trails. The use of an ATV (all terrain vehicle) of any type is NOT allowed at any time in SD. Winter Parking Ban Although we are now enjoying our beautiful fall season, the snow will be falling soon. Please remember there is a winter parking ban on all SDRA roads from November 1st to April 15th. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME Daylight Savings Time ends on November 6th. Don’t forget to set your clocks back one hour. Also, for safety’s sake, check the batteries in all of your smoke and carbon dioxide detectors. [email protected] Please use this e-mail for all communication with your newsletter committee. Next deadline is December 2, 2011. Message from the President Warren Murphy Harvard Management News & Information Another amazing summer, which was prolonged through Columbus Day, has come and gone here at South Down. We had a record number of summer residents and visitors this year enjoying the South Down amenities and the attractions that the area has to offer. The newly refurbished tennis courts and basketball court; and the beach were all fully utilized. The roadways and trails were busy with joggers, walkers, bikers and golf carts all going nowhere in particular but having a good time getting there. Some evenings it was hard to find an unoccupied Adirondack chair on the Greenbelt. The Boat Club forklift about wore out a set of tires shuttling boats between the storage racks and Paugus Bay. It was a very busy and fun summer and more importantly a very safe and secure summer. There were no reports of significant injury or vandalism and the need for gendarme intervention was at an all time low. The ‘R’ in SDRA was a standout this year. Flying South- Many of you will be leaving your beautiful communities for your winter homes, so be sure to notify our Merrimack office of your change of address in order to receive newsletters, important information and account statements. They can be reached at 603-429-2019 or send an e-mail to: [email protected]. Although property sales reflect the general trend across the country, property values are doing well at South Down due in large part to the association’s excellent fiscal health, superb maintenance program, and overall visual appeal thanks to those responsible for all of the flowers, bushes and landscaping. There will be no increase in SDRA dues for next year and we are totally debt free as of the last loan payment in June for the Beach House renovations. Things get fixed when they break, roads are well maintained both in the summer and winter, and speed calming devices have been installed and have been verified to be effective. The community has been decorated to reflect the changing season and many visitors comment on how attractive the entrance to South Down is. Our thanks for those of you who help make that happen by volunteering your time and talent. Trailer Storage Renewal- 2012 Trailer storage renewal fees of $150.00 are due no later than January 1, 2012 made payable by check to SDRA. Any owner, who does not wish to renew their trailer storage space, must remove the trailer by January 1, 2012. Machines and/or trailers may be removed, at the owner’s expense, and/or may be barred from the premises at the discretion of the Management Company or the Directors of SDRA, for violations, non-payment, or for actions that may threaten injury or property damage. No watercraft will be stored in or on trailers in the trailer parking space and owners are responsible for shoveling out trailers or machines. Flu season will soon be upon us and it is recommended that we get a flu shot sometime between October and mid-December. The hospital, clinics, and most pharmacies in the area will administer the shot. For the few of us over 65, Medicare pays for the shot. For the rest of you, thanks. Your turn may come. Warren Murphy Canoe/Kayak Storage Renewal- Owners who wish to store their crafts over the winter and secure their current space for the 2012 season, must pay by check made out to SDRA for the 2012 season between Labor Day and November 15, 2011. Contact Harvard Management at 603-528-1988 to renew your space; otherwise your craft must be removed by November 15, 2011. Owners who have not removed their crafts or paid for the next season will have their crafts removed at the sole risk and responsibility of the craft owner. Removed crafts will be held by SDRA until December 31, 2011 after which time the craft will become the property of SDRA. Owners, who have had their crafts removed by SDRA and which are still in the possession of SDRA, may obtain their crafts after paying all fees incurred for removal, storage and administration. Owners who have had their crafts removed will not be allowed the use of a rack for a period of one year. Office hours- 9-5 Monday through Friday. Please call ahead to ensure we are here as we are often at our properties—we do not want to miss you. You may also call and make an appointment. Winter Advisory - Last year there were several properties with frozen pipes and significant damage. Turning off your water when you leave for 24 hours or more can greatly reduce the possibility of damage. A SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO EVERYONE Donna Faucette, Property Manager [email protected] Katie Dodge, Assistant Property Manager [email protected] Harvard Management Solutions, Inc. 14 Country Club Road Gilford, NH 03249 Phone: 603-528-1988 Fax: 603-528-0018 MEET YOUR NEIGHBOR Mark and Diane Libby “Another boating season has passed and much too quickly for most of us. Mark and Diane first met while attending college in Boston and have been married for 27 years. They live in rural northwest Connecticut, in Diane’s hometown. They have two girls, Kathleen and Sarah. Mark is a New Hampshire native, born and raised in the seacoast area. While growing up he spent time with his parents and sister at the lake and the beach, and continued the tradition with his own family. “We would rent a cottage for a week or two every summer, and then graduated to keeping our boat at Mountain View in Gilford. While cruising around one day, we found South Down Shores and loved the area”. They purchased their home on Davidson Drive in 2006. The house is currently a vacation retreat, but they hope to be able to spend more of their time here, as their busy careers allow. Diane is a CPA and a partner in a large local firm in Connecticut, and specializes in tax, trust, and estate matters. She also serves on the board of several institutions including the local hospital, and is active with church committees. Mark is a nurse / paramedic who was an Army officer, and has a background in critical care, trauma, and flight nursing. He served as the director of the Office of Emergency Medical Services for the State of Connecticut and founded a disaster medical assistance team. He is currently the regional emergency coordinator for the federal Department of Health and Human Services in New England. He has led the public health and medical response to over 30 presidentially declared disasters across the country, and works with the U.S. Secret Service to safeguard dignitaries at special events. The launch ramp is being reconstructed. For your safety, there will be no access to the docks or SDBC waterfront until all the work is completed. The Boat Club has signed another 5 year contract with Irwin Marine. As always, please remember to notify me of any changes in slip/dry berth ownership, boat ownership or contact information. All boats must be approved by the Board before being brought to the Boat Club. Contact me for a Boat Approval form if you are thinking about purchasing another boat. We want to thank you all for another great summer and we look forward to seeing you all again in May!” Carol Downing (603) 527-6169 SDBC (603) 524-0673 Fax [email protected] The Libby’s have two daughters. Kathleen recently completed her master’s in accounting and passed the CPA exam. She works for a large accounting firm in Boston, and lives in the North End. Sarah is a junior at Providence College, majoring in business. She is looking forward to her international semester in Australia this coming spring. Both of the girls love coming up to the lake and spending time on the boat. Mark says, “We always look forward to spending time with family and friends at the lake, winter or summer.” Owned And Operated By NRT LLC. News We hope you are enjoying fall and joined your neighbors for one of the many social activities over the last couple of months. We are proud to report that more than 60 people, in addition to your Long Bay Board, are actively working on committees to improve our community. Below you will see brief summaries of their work. I hope you are inspired to join us. Long Bay website: A couple of people and Matt Miller (we are lucky to have his expertise) presented a mock-up of the new site to the Long Bay Board in October. The committee will proceed to update the site over the next few months. A few features follow: - Interactively updated, multi-page web site with templates (e.g. groups/committees could each have their own page) - Multi-category event calendar (e.g. annual meeting, pool committee updates, social events, etc) - Document sharing (upload photos, documents, in many formats, view on-line) - Manage groups/sub-groups with authorization/passwords - Discussion forums - Standard "longbayassociation.com" domain name (or other) could be used - News feeds (similar to Facebook "wall", i.e. RSS) of new events - A 3rd party administrator will not be needed; 2 or 3 people could update the site as needed from their home computer Pool committee: Several residents are working diligently to better assess ‘a new pool option’ while others on the pool committee are considering how best to repair the existing pool. All will present information to help residents make an informed choice on how best to proceed regarding the Long Bay pool. While we still await a chairperson for this committee, Matt Miller is the Board liaison and can provide more information. Security committee: Sandy Watson, Jim Thompson and Don Brough met on Thursday, September 29th and reviewed: - Current Security concerns - Current Safety concerns - What our current by-laws already cover - What needs tweaking or added anew - Plans for future meeting with White Mountain Security - Open discussion regarding a possible Security "Waiver of Liability" Form for residents to sign taking on full responsibility for their behavior and actions judged against final Board approved security rules. Long Range Planning Committee: The Long Bay - Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC) met for a kick-off meeting at Matt Miller's house on Sept 22, 2011. Present were Sandy Sadja, Peter Waligria, Mark Edelstein, Matt & Pam Miller. We brainstormed a wide variety of topics regarding the Communication with Village presidents: long-term quality of living here in Long Bay. Specific action items Within Long Bay, there are five villages; Bay Reach, Oakleigh, were identified: put together a survey to go to Long Bay residents Prides Point, Willows, and Willow Pond. At this writing, the to get more input about long-term interests; organize a separate village presidents are in the very early stages of establishing a pool planning committee; begin the inventory of Long Bay commuCommittee and exploring ways that they may be helpful to the nity assets; draft a long-range maintenance plan; and identify and Long Bay Board.

Correction: The Annual meeting is the second Saturday in June. SOUTH DOWN COMMUNITY GROUPS GARDEN CLUB: The days are shorter, the lake is quiet, and our first frost is not far off. Our beautiful South Down gardens are starting to lose their color and prepare for their winter rest. We hope our residents have enjoyed the gardens and overall landscape this season. The Garden Club had a very busy and productive summer. The June meeting was our annual flower arranging exhibition with a “Teddy Bear Picnic” theme. In July we traveled to Emma’s Perennials in Bristol for a tour of that beautiful nursery. The August program was a fascinating demonstration of the ancient Japanese art of Ikebana. Guided by our Program Committee, we created decorative illuminated glass cubes in September. Our Beautification has been extra busy, sharing their expertise, providing input on the plantings for the new traffic calming island on Outerbridge Drive as well as designing and overseeing plant- Someone found some wonderful plants to ing of a new garden this fall along the beach walkway which will be complet- buy at Emma’s! ed in the spring. In late September, members planted fall mums and asters and arranged seasonal decorations in eye catching locations. October will bring a class on making Hydrangea wreaths, followed by designing boxwood trees in November, just in time for the holidays. Our season ends with the annual Christmas Party in December. In July the South Down Executive Committee voted to support and authorize the South Down Garden Club to take a leadership and ownership role with respect to all the gardens on common South Down property. In this expanded role, the Garden Club is charged with the purchasing of flowers and plantings, providing for planting and maintenance of the gardens, seeking professional help in designing new gardens, preparing an annual budget, and coordinating with the property manager and various South Down stakeholders and outside contractors who are involved with our overall landscaping. Many people work quietly to insure our South Down community is attractively landscaped and well maintained. KNITTING GROUP: The South Down/Long Bay knitters group continues to meet Fridays at 1:00 pm at the South Down Beach House. There will be no meetings on November 25th or December 23rd. On December 2nd, the group will begin to meet in member’s homes for the winter months. Please call Nancy Barth at 527-8022 or Susan Godfrey Gilchrist at 528-7923 for more information. Knitters and crotchetier of all levels are welcome to join the group. TASTERS GROUP: The “TASTERS” had a fun summer dining out at restaurants throughout the region. For those of you that were not able to join us, you missed many enjoyable evenings of good conversation and laughs with our South Down/Long Bay friends and neigh- FROM THE HELM . . . Weather can change very rapidly and create unexpected situations for boat operators. Even meteorologists have trouble predicting rapid weather changes. What to do if caught in severe weather: Prepare the boat by slowing down to keep enough power to maintain headway speed Close all hatches, windows & doors to reduce chance of swamping Turn on your lights Keep bilges free of water If there is lightning, disconnect all electrical equipment, stay clear of metal objects Prepare passengers with a life jacket (PFD) Passengers should sit on the floor close to the centerline Head for the nearest shore that is safe to approach Head the bow into the waves at a 45 degree angle If the engine stops, drop a “sea anchor” off the bow to keep the bow headed into the wind (A bucket will work as a sea anchor) VHF radio frequencies to monitor: Channel 16 –Distress & safety calls to Marine Patrol; Channel 22 – USCG weather warnings: Channel 14 – Irwin Marine Service Dept Prepared for your safety by Irwin Marine bors. We have dined at The Lyons Den in Gilford, the Squam Lake Inn in Holderness, Canoe in Center Harbor, LemonGrass in Moultonborough, the Coe House in Center Harbor and the Tilton Inn in Tilton. These outings ranged from groups of 18 to 36. I know everyone enjoyed getting out for the evening and socializing with our wonderful community friends. We chose the third Thursday of each month, so people could mark their calendars and because weekends are difficult to make arrangements for large groups at restaurants. We look forward to having more of you join us in the future. Now that the summer is over, we have already lost a lot of the Florida Snow Birds, but there are still a lot of us that will be here the year round. During the Winter we are going to rename our Tasters group the “LEFTOVERS”. If anyone is interested in joining our evenings out during the winter, please let me know and I will try to make arrangements, weather and restaurants permitting. If you are not receiving the emails regarding the monthly outings, please contact me at [email protected] or call me at 603-524-0740 and I will add your email address to the contact folder.

NOVEMBER: Birthstone: Topaz 6 End of Daylight Savings Time 8 Election Day 10 Garden Club Meeting—Beach House at 6:30 11 Veterans Day 18 Executive Meeting 24 Thanksgiving Day In the continuing attempt to drive the Canada Geese from the ponds in the Greenbelt and in Birchwoods, many ideas have been tried. Colorful streamers, screaming rockets, and contact with the State of Connecticut for removal of the geese. Nothing has been successful for long. The latest attempt is to have floating alligator heads in the ponds. If you look carefully in the picture below, you will see the head in the far left corner with all the ducks around it but not close. If you walk by now, you can see the latest attempt—fake coyotes, that swivel in the wind, and are moved daily to scare the geese. Anyone have any other ideas?
