Fire Prevention - Linville Land Harbor

Do Not Put Garbage In Recycle Bins...see article below

2011
PRESIDENT’S REPORT ON THE STATE OF LAND HARBOR
LLH is in very good financial
shape and continues to out
perform other communities of a
similar nature.
The past year has been a very
interesting and challenging one
for all at our mountain paradise.
The economy, home sale decline,
budget issues, and financing the
new dam, are just some of the
challenges that were faced and met
by your Board Of Directors.
It is interesting to note that
LLH is in very good financial shape
and continues to out perform other
communities of a similar nature.
Our collection rate for annual
assessments is always near or at
100%, whereas other communities
struggle to keep their collection
rates at 95%. Speaking of annual
assessments, our annual rate is
less than other communities, yet
we provide considerably more in
services and amenities than other
communities.
The collapse of the housing
market has affected LLH much
less than the national average for
our type of community.

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.

Continued from page 1
President’s Report
Research into real estate data reveals that communities
such as ours are expected to have 12 to 15% of their homes
for sale. A recent survey of homes for sale in LLH listed
less than 150 homes for sale. With 1500 properties, this is
less than 10% on the market. Again, much better than the
average.
It is interesting to note that property sales seem to
ebb and peak in 10 year cycles at Land Harbor. In 1990
property sales were low, again in 2001, property sales were
low at 32, sales in 2010 were down at 27.Part of the low sales
is a function of demographics and part is due to the economy.
The periods between the low points were marked by great
sales years. We have a very active Marketing Committee
with programs directed at improving sales where possible.
As the economy improves so will home sales.
To understand just why LLH is so well off financially
one needs to look at the type of community we live in. WE
are solely owned by the property owners, we try to “pay
as we go” [the dam not withstanding]. We are debt free
except for the remaining dam loan. We have a fully paid for
new waste water treatment facility, a new water treatment
facility and are paying off the dam in record time with a
very favorable interest rate. With the money earned from
the high sales years, we were able to pay over $1 million
toward the dam, thus saving members hundreds of dollars.
Corrections to Membership Roster
We truly regret the error, but we have been notified or have
discovered errors in the Membership Roster, as follows:
1) Wrong local telephone number:
Dr. Edward & Marjorie Golden (828-733-9302)
2) Cell Phone Number: - Page 89
Mike Lane Construction ((321-693-9120)
We apologize for these errors.

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 you property.
Much credit must be given to our faithful members who
continue to pay fees on time and support the efforts of your
elected POA Board who have, and will continue to work to
maintain LLH as an affordable paradise in the mountains.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to
seeing everyone as the majority of members return for the
Season.

The late actress Helen Hayes once said:
“Whatever age I am is the best age, and the age we live in is the best age.”
On
Campus
by Rick Hammell
The quote on the top of this page
by Helen Hayes is really saying a lot
medically. Yes, medically.
We have been told all of our life
we are young as we feel or we are
as young as we think we are. Now,
medical researchers at Harvard and
Massachusetts Institute have been
studying people’s perception of their
age and just how it might influence
their health.
And you guessed it; how you
perceive your age is a factor in how
you think, how you look and how
healthy you are.
Women who experienced new
hairdos or new clothes that made them
look younger experienced lower blood
pressure. And men with early hair
loss were suspect in having cardiac
problems.
Some studies showed that those
who spend time with younger people
tend to live younger if they participated
in sports and other activities with
younger people.
The research speculated that
repeated negative descriptions or
actions poking fun at aging can make
some unconsciously aware of old age
and could set in motion a process that
would have real effects on long term
health.
Negative feelings about aging
does create problems.
_____________
It is just outstanding to be back in
Land Harbor. The improvements are
overwhelming.... from safety marked
streets and parking places to a beautiful,
and I mean beautiful, golf house (wait
until you see the new decks)! There
are improvements everywhere and
be sure to check out our new Camp
Adventure... just below the dam. Tent
sites and other amenities are already
in place. A trail from Overland Park
gets you there.
______________
June 2011
As of May 10th, 60% of Property
Owners have paid their dam assessment
IN FULL.
______________
The Land Harbor - Timber Pines
picnic at the Point will be Saturday,
July 20th at 5PM. More details later.

Land Harbor property owners
displayed deep employee appreciation
last December
with
generous
contributions to the Land Harbor
Employees
Christmas
Fund.
Permanent employees received $710
each (last year they received $580
each); full time seasonal received
$355 (against $290 last year); part
time seasonal (working 10 or more
years) received $240 each ($195 last
year) and the part time seasonal (i.e.
lifeguards) who worked 300 hours or
more received $100 each (the same as
last year).
This is the most ever received for
the fund. Let’s keep it going and set of
goal of beating last year. Things like
this makes Land Harbor stand above
most other communities. Each and
every employee thanks you.
Just a reminder the Golf
House‘s power is now backed
by generator power. In the
event of a power outage or
emergency, the Golf House
can be “powered up” within
30 minutes.
Emergency
shelter supplies have been
relocated to the lower level
of the Golf House for quick
access. In the event of
an emergency that would
require more room, LH can
stage at the Golf House until
the Recreation Building is
readied.
For the past four years we have been
receiving warnings from federal
agencies to our closest friends that
our cellphone numbers are going to be
released to telemarketers.
The latest one to circulate started
in March warns that June or July is the
target month. We are warned to avoid
this we must register our cell number
on the National Do Not Call List.
It is almost believable because
they use the actual National Do Not
Call registration number (1-800-3821222). You CAN put your cellphone
on that list by calling that number or
going to www.donotcall.gov.
There is no need to register.
Telemarketers use automated
dialers and federal regulations
prohibit use of automated dialing
systems in calling cellphones
without your approval. Federal
fines are steep enough to prevent
them from even thinking about it.

“RUMBLE STRIPS” have been

This has been a “scary” drive to say the

Hello Land Harbor!
First of all….be sure to check out our Board Presidents message in this issue of Harbor Lights!
The great news is that we only got 70 inches of snow this winter!
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:
June 2011

New deck addition to Golf House.


A new central heating and air conditioning system has been installed in The Golf House.
The Golf House has a new emergency generator back up system and will be the primary
‘Emergency Shelter’ during inclement weather due to the comfortable ambiance and central
location.
Page 11
Page 12

Golf House has been painted and stone placed on the foundation.





Bathrooms on Golf Course have been renovated.
New trail from the dam to ‘C’ Section Cluster Mail Boxes.
New trail from waterfall to old POA site.
New trail from Recreation, through The Point area to the LLH Pkwy Bridge.
Camp Adventure is coming to life! Three tent platforms already in, and one tree house
completed. Two more to be completed this season. A foot bridge will be built across the Linville
River below the dam. WWTP to be screened from Camp Adventure. Nine Hole Frisbee Golf to
be in place this summer.
June 2011

Beautiful new Pergola built between POA and Recreation, with beach area completely renovated
with more of a ‘Beach Feel’ with walking trails branching off in two directions.


Aggressive new landscape improvements at Overlook Park.
Major road improvements and paving planned this year. We have partnered with NCDOT for
Engineering expertise and favorable contractor contract negotiations. This partnership comes at
no cost to Land Harbor.
Our insurance Homeowners Insurance rating has been changed from a ‘9’ to a ‘7’, which equates
to a substantial savings on your premiums. Contact your insurance company to assure that you
get the new rate.
Roadside clearing has been very aggressive this winter. We have completed nearly 75% of all
roadsides and will continue throughout the season.


We are committed to the continual improvement of Linville Land Harbor for a number of reasons, which
include:



To continue to provide our Members with a beautiful environment to reside in.
As a continued investment in the improvement of our property values.
To make Linville Land Harbor a desirable community to become a part of………………
Please don’t forget to visit www.linvillelandharbor.com often. We now have five web cams overlooking
the golf course and lake.

Golf Shop News...Bruce Abbott, Mgr.
For those of you who have just returned from your winter
residence, you most likely have not noticed all of the changes
that have been made here in Land harbor since you left in the
fall. Among them are the new paint on the Golf Club House, a
new “open” deck, awaits you where you will be able to take your
sandwich from the 19th hole to the clubhouse deck, where you can
watch golfers putting on the 9th green, in the open air, and enjoy
yourself. Also, notice the decorative stone on the clubhouse, a new
addition that makes the building look fantastic. The addition of the
deck now allows us to store and charge our golf carts, therefore
allowing us to have all carts completely charged for you, your
family and guests at all times,
As we begin a new season, let’s all remember that Golf is
a gentleman’s game and exercising the rules of the game will
make it more enjoyable for everyone.
We will have two used and new golf equipment sales, allowing
you to sell your own clubs, bags, golf balls and other golf “stuff”,
and you keep the $’s. Dates will be posted in the golf shop. It is
anticipated that the dates will be in June and August..
The 19th hole will open May 23, with a new menu, and weekly
specials. We will also have 19th hole “Happy Hour” - dates to be
announced later.
Please stop in at the Golf shop and say “Hi” upon your return.
New residents can stop by for complete details on our complete
golf program. We have something for everyone.
The golf shop is open with new merchandise and ready for
your shopping pleasure. We are ready to assist you in anyway
possible, and as always, we welcome your comments and
suggestions. Bruce Abbott, Golf Shop Manager

Answer to Question (on Page 11)
The player incurs a 2 stroke penalty
see Rule 17-3.
Note: This may seem somewhat unfair for the player
to be penalized so heavily, but it is the player’s
responsibility to ensure that whoever agrees to attend
the flagstick understands the rule for attending the
flagstick.
Gladys Frankford (right) lives at Land Harbor but
enjoys her “winters” in a furnished apartment at
Appalachian Brian Estates. Doris Hunt (left) moved
from Blowing Rock and set up her apartment with her
personal furnishings. Both ladies enjoy many of the
amenities but playing Bridge is the highlight. Come by
and visit and find out why these ladies chose
Appalachian Brian Estates.

RECREATION UPDATE
Land Harbor Wireless Café
Land Harbor Wireless Café is available seven days a week 8 am until 10 pm except Friday 9 am to1 pm.
There are tables and chairs for your comfort. Sorry the café does not offer coffee.
POOL RULES
Guest: The guest of a member must use the guest pass that was issued when the property dues were paid. Each
guest pass is good for 5 people. Guest will be required to sign in at the Lifeguard Station. Guest passes can only
be picked up at the POA Office Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm.
Children: A responsible parent must accompany children under the age of 12 or an adult (not a teenager), who
must remain in the pool area while the child is in the pool or on the pool deck. Dropping off a child under the age
of 12 and then going into one of the rooms for a meeting or class or leaving the recreation area is not permitted.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
The safety of our swimmers is always our first priority. When lightning is first seen or thunder is first heard
(meaning lightning is somewhere in the area), swimmers, sunbathers and picnickers will be asked to leave the
pool, the pool deck and picnic area and seek shelter on the upper ramp. The National Lightning Safety Institute
(NLSI) has changed the standard for staying out of the pool during bad weather from 20 minutes to 30 minutes,
and Land Harbor lifeguards will be instructed to use this guideline. Every time lightning is seen or thunder is
heard, another 30-minute countdown is started again until the pool can be safely re-entered. Remember, this is
for your safety. Pool 733-8315.
Have a fun and safe 2011 season

John and Sallie Prince have raised over $300,000 in the last 30 years
for Multiple Sclerosis, a disease that affects their daughter, Leslie
JOHN AND
SALLIE
PRINCE
GIVING THEIR
LOVE AND TIME
TO FAMILY AND
MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS
John and Sallie were featured
in a Wall Street Journal
article last September.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society featured John and
Sallie in an extensive article
in their national publication.

Most everyone in Land Harbor
knows the Prince Family; John, Sallie
and their beautiful daughter, Leslie.
But not everyone knows the love,
work and dedication John and Sallie
give to a very special part of their lives;
their daughter Leslie’s battle with
Multiple Sclerosis and their efforts to
contribute to the fight to combat MS.
In the past 30 years they have raised
over $300,000 for the MS Society by
donating footballs autographed by
Heisman Memorial Trophy winners to
various fund raising auctions held by
MS Society Chapters.
The Heisman Memorial Trophy
Award is the most coveted honor in
college football. The award, given
annually, recognizes the outstanding
college football player whose
performance best exhibits great ability
combined with excellence with
integrity.
There would be no Heisman
Trophy if it were not for John Prince’s
father, Willard, who created the
award in 1935. At the time, Willard
was the Publisher and Editor of the
Downtown Athletic Club Journal in
Manhattan. Willard developed the
idea to honor college football’s top
player with the Heisman Memorial
Trophy, named after the club’s
athletic director, former legendary
coach John Heisman.
John Prince has been associated
with the Heisman Trophy since it’s
beginning and he remembers well the
very first award in 1935. He was seven
years old. John recalls “Dad brought
the ballots home from the office and
my brother, sister and I counted them.
This was the first and last time ballot
counting was handled this way before
the Athletic Club got an accounting
firm to handle it.”
The winner of the first award
was Jay Berwanger. John asked
Berwanger to autograph a couple of
balls for him and later was able to
get Berwanger to come to a celebrity

original Heisman Trophy standing in
the lobby of the Downtown Athletic
Club in Manhattan.
golf tournament where John initiated
the first auction of an autographed
Heisman football. The idea was a
fantastic success.
John and Sallie receive two or
three autographed footballs every
year from the Heisman Trust. Two
are donated to Multiple Sclerosis
Society for fund raisers and the third
ball is donated locally to Grandfather
Home for Children in Banner Elk to
be used for their fund raising auction
which has raised more than $50,000
over the past ten years.

PRINCE
HAVE RAISED
OVER
$300,000
IN THE LAST 30 YEARS
FOR
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
John, Sallie and Leslie
Leslie is now 58 and requires
continuing care. She loves going to
the Apple Orchard to watch local
dancing and listen to our Blue Ridge
music. The Forum programs at Lees
McRae in Banner Elk. is another of her
favorites. Her parents said “as long as
we can take care of Leslie at home, we
will.” John says “the amazing thing
about Leslie is her disposition. She
smiles all the time and friends are
very caring with her. We really have
so many people in our lives who we
never would have met if not for MS.”
By the way, John and Sallie are
on the Lees McRae Forum Board as
well co-chairing the Land Harbor
Grandfather Home for Children
Grandparents Club committee.
Last year John and Sallie were
recognized nationally by THE WALL
STREET JOURNAL for their life
history with the Heisman Trophy and
their contributions of time and money
to Multiple Sclerosis.
In addition,
The Multiple
Sclerosis Society featured John,
Sallie and Leslie in their National
Magazine.
The Princes plan to keep giving
as long as they receive the
footballs. Both said they will
“put them to good use.”

IV.
Reports and Presentations
a.
Budget and Finance
1.
Financial Report-Abrams
This is a preliminary report since not all of April’s transactions are
complete.
At the end of April 2011 our financial condition is VERY GOOD. Annual
dues and assessments received as of April 30th are $2,297,900 out of
the projection for April 2011 of $2,387,800. Total General Fund
Revenues are at $2,362,400. We are $137,000 below our Total General
Fund Revenue plus Golf Revenue budget of $2,676,000 as of 4/30/2011.
Home sales at the end of April are eight ($36,000) out of the 30 the Board
budgeted for 2011.
Actual total expenditures including golf as of 4/30/2011 are $980,300
compared to our projected cumulative year to date expense budget of
$1,145,000. We are $164,700 below our expense budget including golf
as of 4/30/2011.
We are investing our reserves in very conservative CD’s and money
market account and taking as little risk as possible to get some return on
our investments.
We ended 2010 well above our goal of $750,000 in total reserves. We
had $726,425 in the Undesignated Fund Balance and $220,158 in the
Capital Reserve Fund adding to $964,583 in total reserves.
$1,322,000 Dam loan balance (4.50% rate) as of 4/30/2011
The LLH Board of Directors and Wells Fargo (Wachovia) have negotiated
a five year, fixed rate dam loan at 4.5%. Dam payments will continue to
be due on or before January 15, 2012 and will continue until January 15,
2016.
2.
Dam Loan Update-Abrams
As of 5/4/2011 59% of the 1487 property owners have paid their share of
the Dam Assessment in full. 97.3% of property owners have paid their
$500 assessment. 41 out of 1487 property owners have not paid their
$500 assessment yet.
The new permanent Dam loan negotiations have been completed and the
Board approved by Board Poll, the signing of the new five year contract.
We were able to negotiate the fixed rate loan at 4.5% which is less than
the 6% anticipated. The construction loan has been closed out and the
permanent loan is for $1,322,000. I want to thank our Treasurer, Bruce
Clement, for the excellent work he did in negotiating this new loan at a
great rate.
Page 36
3. Winter Capital Projects-Abrams
Last Fall when it became obvious that we had funds available to install
the heating and air during 2010 instead of as scheduled in 2011, we
moved ahead with the work and completed it before year end. This
cleared up funds from 2011 to do some other projects which include but
are not limited to the following:
1)
Deck additions and stone work at the Golf House. This addition
supports the parking of electric carts and chargers under the deck.
Efficiency improvement.
2)
Installation of Pergola at the Beach. This was originally planned
for the old POA site but the site could not be completed for the 2011
season. The Pergola is made in sections so it can be moved at a later
date.
3)
Some construction on the Camp Adventure Camping Area was
completed.
4.
Tennis Court (Hard Courts) Repairs-Anderson
Last year the two hard courts at the tennis facility had some cracks which
made play difficult. There has been a long discussion about what to do
and it was decided that we are going to go with the recommendation of
the tennis court consultant and patch the cracks. We found out that the
cracks were worse than originally estimated and when the maintenance
staff starting repairing the cracks with the compound they ran out
because they were worse than we thought. In the meantime the Board
has determined that it’s a major asset for the tennis facility and we want
to keep the hard courts and should do what we can to keep them in the
state of good repair. Therefore, we’ve determined some amount of
money is going to be required to do what’s right by the hard courts. The
exact amount of money for this repair has not yet been determined.
Chuck Abrams and Mike Simpson have determined that the bids that
were submitted by the contractors did not meet specifications. The bids
have been sent out again to meet these specifications. The Board has
decided to provide some money which is not presently in the budget.
The estimated cost being $8,500, plus some money from the Tennis
Reserve Fund will be used for this repair. The Tennis Committee
unofficially (hasn’t been voted on yet) has agreed to provide some money
from their reserve fund.
Russ Anderson moved to make a budget amendment to provide up to
$8,500 to repair the two tennis hard courts. Joe Coleman seconded and
the motion carried unanimously.
If armor the courts most contractors give a two to five year warranty. By
armoring the courts they should last about eight to ten years.
V.
Committees
a.
Fishing Committee-Rule Changes-Coleman
The river and lake were stocked on October 8, 2010 with 400 brown trout.
In order to give them a chance to grow there will be a 16 inch minimum
length requirement. This will allow taking of larger fish that were already
there when we stocked.
The lake was stocked on March 12, 2011 with 600 largemouth bass six to
nine inches. In order to give them a chance to grow these will be catch
and release only.
Joe Coleman moved to accept the 16 inch minimum on brown trout and
catch and release only on largemouth bass for 2011. Russ Anderson
seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
b.
Golf Committee-2011 Golf Handbook-Mills
David Mills moved to make changes to the handbook as attached with
the agenda with the exception of page five play change #5 paragraph
three to leave it the same as what was in the old handbook and to
incorporate blue/pink flags from $5 to $10. Russ Anderson seconded
and the motion carried unanimously.
c.
Marketing-Kempf
Over the winter marketing put up two billboards, one in Pineola and one
near Linville Central.
An information box has been installed out front on the inside of the island.
It will further be marked Visitor Information. It contains a written script
and CD for a self guided tour. If they don’t have a CD player they will
have a written script to follow to take them around Land Harbor to see
most of our amenities. Thought being if people come in and see the
place and our amenities they will be much more likely to buy in or
consider buying in. Want to emphasize this box is for VISITORS ONLY.
A copy of the DVD will be given to all the realtors that will be listed.
There will be a visitor information page on the website. This page will
have marketing data on it. The Marketing Committee, Warren Kempf and
PLEASE CONTINUE ON PAGE 37
June 2011
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 36
Other Board of Directors have been asked about having a For Sale/For
Rent by Owner portion on the website. We have gone through great
lengths to research this and a For Sale by Owner website puts Land
Harbor in a realtor situation. Our attorney advises against it. As far as
For Rent by Owner the logistics of that would require probably hiring
someone to administer the site. Within the capabilities we currently have
at the POA it would be difficult to put that job on anybody. We are in
good financial shape now and don’t need to be hiring more personnel at
this particular time. So due to logistics and legal matters/restrictions we
cannot put For Sale/For Rent by Owner on our Land Harbor website.
We had enough money for one ad in the Mountain Life Magazine.
Interestingly it’s a three month ad and they are going to do a summer
spread story about Land Harbor.
If anyone has recent pictures of fishing, golf and tennis please let the
Marketing Committee know. They want to incorporate them in the
handout they have. A lot of the pictures they currently have are 10-15
years old.
d. Technology Committee-Anderson
The Technology Committee has not met but has been communicating by
emails. Last year it was said that our Charter TV contract was coming up
and we were going to try and find an alternate to improve our TV service.
That didn’t happen. Over the winter a contract was signed for five years
with Charter. We are going to continue to get expanded basic TV service.
We could not find anyone to replace them. Direct TV, Dish Network and
some others won’t work because the investment is too great. The
Charter contract calls for a five to six percent increase each year. The
prices are still low. So we are still getting a pretty good deal for what we
get. HD and Charter on Demand are still not available.
The Board asked the Technology Committee to find out what Avery
County was doing as far as Broadband computers. There is a new cable
line being installed from Mitchell County to the Watauga County line.
This will provide a signal for the high speed internet. It will be up to
service providers to connect to the cable and offer service from it.
e.
Appointment of Recreation Facilities Committee
Warren Kempf moved to create an Ad Hoc Recreation Facilities
Committee with Board of Directors Charlie Sims and Dick Collins as CoChairman and have no more than five additional members to be selected
at their discretion. The purpose for the committee being to review
existing facilities, review existing and future needs and make
recommendations to the Board about the way to go in the future.
VI.
New Business
a.
Burning Ban-Abrams
Mountain properties such as our lots here in Linville Land Harbor are
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.
David Mills moved that the following be in effect immediately and put in
the General Rules and Regulations: No burning of leaves, brush,
construction debris or garbage is permitted. Russ Anderson seconded
and the motion carried unanimously.
b.
Control of Storm Water Run Off-Abrams
Storm water runoff from sloping lots such as ours here in Linville Land
Harbor is a significant problem and aggravated by the buildup of sticks
and leaves. As a result we need all Property Owners to heed the
following guidelines.
June 2011
1)
Keeping leaves, sticks and debris from the ditches around
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 pipes and culverts under
roadways is the responsibility of the Land Harbor Operations Dept.
4)
Do no blow leaves or place sticks or branches in drainage ditches
when cleaning up your property.
VII.
Manager’s Report-Mike Simpson
a.
Website Update
The website is in total redesign. It’s being done in phases and we are in
phase two. The new website should be up and going by June 1st . It
has two components: visitors and guest click and go to one area and
members click and go to another area. This new and improved website is
much more user friendly. You can go to highcountrywebcams.com and
view our webcams.
VIII.
Property Owners’ Input and Concerns as per 47F-3-108(b)
Carl Lerche-255 River Hollow Rd- Wants to commend the Board and staff
for the beauty throughout Land Harbor. It’s a pleasure to be a resident
here. He is especially pleased with the cart path bummers placed on the
parkway.
Last year Mr. Lerche expressed his concerns regarding trees that were
not taken down by Property Owners. He is still concerned as the trees
are still not taken down. He wrote a letter to the Property Owner as
suggested to do and still hasn’t heard anything from them.
Chuck Abrams assured Mr. Lerche that Gary Willis has sent a letter to the
Property Owner about the cutting of the trees. He will find out what kind
of response Mr. Willis got. The letter stated that if they didn’t have the
trees removed then Land Harbor would remove them and send them a
bill.
Jack Stawicki-366 Laurel Hills Rd-Wants to thank the Board for all the
hard work they do. Each of them takes a lot of their own time for this
development. Mr. Stawicki expressed his concerns regarding money
taken from General Fund and given to Golf. He doesn’t understand why
the fees for golf weren’t increased. Mr. Stawicki also expressed his
concerns regarding the roads and the safety of the roads in Land Harbor.
Chuck Abrams stated that we found when we increase the golfing fees
the number of golfers went down and the total income was less. What
we’ve worked on for the past five years is how to reduce the difference
between what it cost us to operate the golf course versus what our
income is. Everyone that owns in here gets some value out of having a
golf course available when they go to sell their house. It makes their
house more valuable. Also the 19th Hole isn’t very profitable. We are
working hard at making it and the Golf Shop more profitable.
A study has been done for the 44 miles of roads in here. We put in this
year’s budget over $75,000 for road repairs. At some point we would like
to pave all the roads but before you can pave them you need to fix the
ones that are not constructed right. We got the recommendations from
the NC State Highway Engineer of how to do it and in fact he has offered
to assist us at no cost. They will come in and supervise and show us how
to fix the base before we put the new pavement on top. This year we are
going to fix the broken places and next year start paving.
We cannot fix Goose Hollow Road. It will be fixed at some point but
Land Harbor cannot fix it because it is a state maintained road.
Chuck Abrams would like to thank the staff for all their hard work over the
winter and getting Land Harbor in good shape.

2010 News Highlights
from the Weekly Briefs and Harbor Lights
by Rick Hammell
MAY ISSUE
The dam is on target and on budget. Final inspection of
the dam was carried out by the State on May 26th. State
inspectors were “astounded that the original specifications were
carried out exactly as specified.” Target date to begin filling is
June 5th.
The horrendous storms and heavy ice damage that hit
Avery County this winter has kept Land Harbor operations
struggling to remove the tons and tons of debris. Damage was
widespread and heavy. Our golf course was no exception.
However, the Golf course will open on time. The front nine
first and the back nine a week later. You would have had to see
the debris on the course to realize this was an almost
unbelievable accomplishment.
Clearing the roads of tons of debris from the ice storm
continues to be a priority.
JUNE ISSUE
The lake is full again. A dam celebration and picnic will
be held June19th.
In his Welcome Back report, Board President Chuck
Abrams writes that we were able to increase the reserve funds
from $540,000 to $800,000 for the year ending December 2009.
Board approves a second charity golf tournament to
benefit local scholarships. Frank Cotten is heading up this
event. Pat Steverding announced plans for Land Harbor’s
Eighth Annual Fourth of July “Show You Colors Golf Cart
Parade” on July 3rd. Jennifer Blair is named new Recreation
Supervisor.
Land Harbor will have another Clean Sweep Week in late
July. Everything that is put out will be picked up. The Show
Group’s production this year is “American Bandstand Reunion:
written by Joyce Roberts. The show will be July 23-25. Golf
Coupons have been re-instated by the POA Board.
Another golf change provides for future Golf Course
closures. Closure will be determined by the Superintendent of
Golf Maintenance or his Assistant along with the Golf
Committee Chairman or designee. The 10th Annual Land
Harbor Avery Volunteer golf tournament scheduled for August
20th.
JULY ISSUE
The BOD presented property owners with a nice
surprise; a lower than expected $2500 dam assessment.
Assessment to property owners was originally set at $2650 but
the
Board voted to credit each owner $150 from the
Undesignated Reserve Fund. The final cost of the dam came
in below budget.
Annual golf cart parade is largest ever with 59 decorated
golf carts. First place Most Patriotic went to Ally Landacamp.
Most Original was won by Sue Brown.
Police Chief Willis has reported Black Bear sightings.
The Chief said “Normally these are not dangerous unless
bothered. To be safe, we urge you not to go near them and do
not feed the bears.”
Board members whose terms expire this year are Rose
Cole, Steve Padgett and Chuck Wofford. Candidates
announced for the Board are Joe Coleman, Richard “Dick”

RESULTS OF BOARD POLL
OF APRIL 25, 2011
DAM LOAN – FIXED RATE
During the Workshop Meeting of the POA Board of Directors which was
held on February 21, 2011, discussion was held of whether or not to
proceed now with obtaining a fixed rate loan on the dam construction
loan as it was anticipated that interest rates will continue to rise (possibly
above the 6% projected). The consensus of the Board was that it would
be in the best interest of those members who are financing their dam
assessment to obtain the fixed rate loan, as soon as possible.
Negotiations were made with Wells Fargo Bank (Wachovia) for the 5 year
fixed rate loan, per the membership vote tabulation of September 15,
2010, by our Treasurer, Bruce Clement.
The Board voted unanimously to convert the existing Wells Fargo
Bank (Wachovia) variable rate dam construction loan to a 5 year,
4.5% fixed rate loan with Wells Fargo Bank (Wahovia) on April 25,
2011.

SPECIAL FISHING
RULES FOR 2011
Brown Trout - 16 inch minimum
(last month we incorrectly
stated 21 inches. We apologize)
Largemouth Bass - Catch and Release Only
The river and lake were stocked on October 8,
2010 with 400 brown trout. To give them a chance to
grow there will be a 16 minimum length requirement.
This will allow taking of larger fish that were already
there when we stocked.
The lake was stocked on March 12, 2011 with 600
largemouth bass 6-9 inches. In order to give them a
chance to grow these will be catch and release only.

Land Harbor Golf Committee Report
How your golf handicap
is determined
By Bill Bremser
Many factors come into play when determining your golf handicap.
1. The course
2. The tee box
3. Man or lady
4. USGA course rating and slope rating (CR & SL)
5. Score corrected for equitable stroke control
Every tee box on the course has its own USGA course
rating and slope rating for both men and women separately.
Each score will have a handicap differential. The handicap
differential is computed as follows. For example, Joe
shoots a 90 at LLH from the white tees. The male white
tee CR & SL is 65.6 and 122. First subtract the CR from
the score. 90-65.6=24.4. Then multiply that result by 113 (a
fixed number) and divide that result by the SL (in this case
122). 24.4x113=2757.2. 2757.2 /122=22.6 The handicap
differential is now 22.6.
When there are 20 scores with their associated handicap
differentials, then we will take the lowest ten handicap
differentials and average them. For example, the ten lowest
total resulted in 238.4. Then divide 238.4 by 10 and the
result would be 23.8. Now we take 23.8 and multiply it by
.96 (a fixed number). 23.8x.96=22.84. Round off .84 to the
nearest tenth results in 22.8. 22.8 is the Handicap Index.
In order to determine your Course Handicap we take
the Handicap Index and multiply it times the Course Slope
and divide that result by 113. E.g., 22.8 x 122/113= 24.6.
We then round off to the nearest whole number, in this case
25. 25 is now your Course Handicap.
An easy way to remember the difference between Handicap
Index and Course Handicap is the Index always has a
decimal point. Should you want to play a different course,
you always take your current Handicap Index and convert
it to a new Course Handicap at the new course exactly as
done above.
E.g., the new course has a Slope Rating from your desired
tee box of 109. 22.8x109/113=21.9 or 22. Your Course
Handicap is now 22.
Page 46
From the Golf Committee
The course is in great shape. We hope that all the
golfers here will come out and enjoy the beauty. The new
Golf Handbook should be available the latter part of May
or first of June. There are some changes, please read and
comply.
Paul Waycaster has requested that a “strict” 90 degrees
be kept on our fairways, especially #1. A lot of golfers are
not using the 90 degree rule on that hole so let’s be more
careful. Also, on the practice putting green - balls are being
left on the green. These balls have to be removed from the
green before mowing and results in delaying Paul’s workers
getting to the golf course. Please pick up the balls after your
practice and place them back in the cage area.
Organized golf is underway. Sign up and play!!!
