FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
Janice Nelson, Editor
October 16, 2015
Editor’s Comments
It’s definitely the ideal time to get out and enjoy the fall foliage and its unforgettable reflection in our
beautiful, pristine lake. The temperatures have started to dip in the evening hours so that thoughts of
winter no longer seem as improbable as a few weeks ago. This is my first FWIW and I must thank Cathy
Young for serving as its editor for well over a decade. For two years as a weekend/vacation homeowner
and now a full-time one since August, I always looked forward to this essential newsletter for keeping up
with the Alpine Lake community and its many ongoing activities. Cathy always succeeded in keeping
FWIW positive and upbeat, as well as informative, and you can be assured this will not change under my
editorship. I encourage all readers to take an active part in this publication by forwarding me your ideas
and thoughts on how to make FWIW even better in the coming weeks and months.
Next FWIW comes out Fri., Oct. 30th. Watch for a reminder email for your articles, and please
email items to me, Janice Nelson, at [email protected], or use the FWIW box on the lobby
counter. Please keep your articles brief so we can fit all the news in each issue. And please help us
keep FWIW a positive publication – good news is always better than negative issues. Remember
that folks outside Alpine can read FWIW. Thanks for your cooperation and participation. Enjoy!
TIMELY NOTICES AND REMINDERS
EGGS/PRODUCE – Sheila Amato
James Stemple, our local farmer, will resume his delivery of brown (usually jumbo) eggs to the
Rhododendron Room on Wednesday, October 21. He typically arrives between 11-11:15 AM and is
GONE by 11:30. You need to pick up your order during this time frame or make arrangements for
someone to pick it up for you. After this date, he will bring eggs every 2 weeks on a Wednesday; same
time frame. The cost is $3.00 per dozen.
I will send out an email reminder on the Friday before the Wednesday delivery date. You can respond via
email ([email protected]) or phone (305-789-5555) to place your order/how many dozen eggs you
want. Orders must be placed no later than Sunday night; I call in our order early on Monday morning.
I will use the email reminder list from last year to start this ball rolling. If you want your name removed
from the list, or if you want your name added, please let me know.
James also has (frozen) beef, pork, turkey, lamb and chicken for sale. If you are interested in more
information about this, let me know.

FREE LIBRARY IN RHODERDENDRON ROOM – Sheila Amato
Our Alpine Lake [free] library housed in the Rhododendron Room in the Ruby Lodge has flourished this
year. Our bookcases have been overflowing with an eclectic variety of books for your reading pleasure,
including children’s story books. Please continue to take books; the winter is a wonderful time to snuggle
up with a book. Returns are not necessary. Donations of your gently read books are always appreciated.
Please just leave them on the bookcase and they will be shelved. Happy Reading!

THOUGHTS, PRAYERS AND 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, with permission.
The following statement is with sincere gratitude from Dave Gardner’s wife Nancy and family:
“Your sympathy and thoughtfulness will always be gratefully remembered and deeply appreciated!”
George Fetcho wishes to thank the “Alpinites” and others (friends and foe) who have helped to make
his summer enjoyable. He is looking forward to his 38th year next summer! A big THANK YOU to all!
It’s hard to find the right words to thank everyone who came out to spend a beautiful afternoon at the
boathouse on Sunday, October 4th, to wish us well as we prepare to leave Alpine for the next chapter of
our lives. It was both overwhelming and heart-warming, and we were very touched. It is bittersweet for
us as we leave our home and all the friends we have made during our 12 years here. We are excited about
moving closer to family, and are happy we can do it together and by choice. We sincerely hope many
will stay in touch after we move, and there will also be occasions when we come back to Alpine to see
everyone. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. – Loring & Cathy Young
We know there are others in our community who are dealing with various challenges, and we extend
heartfelt prayers, thoughts and good wishes to all of them. Alpine is a caring community and the
support is unending. Remember, life is easier when we multiply the joy and divide the grief. Blessings
to all.
“Fall is my favorite season in Los Angeles, watching the birds change color and fall from the trees.”

HAPPENINGS AROUND THE LAKE & NEARBY…
ACOUSTIC OPEN MIC REPORT – by Ron Rogers, Open Mic Host
Thursday, October 8th – It was a fun night of “favorites!” Thirty-two folks and six performers this late in
the season is GREAT! I’m always grateful and thankful for the support. I apologize for leaving a few
times but I needed to go somewhere to cough without disturbing the whole room. Thanks to Ginger for
counting the house. Depending on weather (and health) we only have two weeks left! So, if you want to
perform and you’ve been putting it off, GET BUSY! Or, if you just want to sing a song and don’t play an
instrument, maybe I could back you up. Next week’s theme is a “new song.” Please bring at least one
song you’ve never performed at Open Mic before.
FUN-FIT” CORNER – Compliments of the AM Aerobics Group
We’re losing some of our regular members, but gaining others, so classes continue to be THE place to be
for an hour Mon., Wed. & Fri. Newcomers are made to feel welcome the minute they walk in the door,
so come out and see for yourself how great exercising with a group can be. The leader and music make it
even more fun. Start class at 9 AM and usually go for coffee and fellowship afterward. Everyone
welcome – start anytime. See you there.
PROJECT NORTH POLE UPDATE – by Cathy Young
Thanks to the generosity of Alpine folks and others who came to our Craft Show, we are able to donate to
this year’s Project North Pole which provides gifts for parents to give their children at Terra Alta
School. We delivered nearly 60 assorted scarves (some for little girls’ dolls), plus hats for boys and girls
and assorted other hand-made gifts. In addition, a cash donation of $270.78 will help the organizers of
this worthwhile project purchase gifts for the children. We can always count on the Alpine community to
support our outreach programs, and we thank you for helping make Christmas a little brighter for many of
our local children.
“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into
trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop
off like autumn leaves.”

Many of our ladies continue to golf on Thursdays, as long as the weather cooperates, even though our
official league has ended for the year. AM tee times available – or choose to play at a different time. Just
check with the Pro Shop and get out there! Happy Golfing.
STROKERS NEWS – by Loring Young
Oct 5th 2015: The Commish was OOT and the stand-in was under the weather (??). However, a few
rogue Strokers descended upon the golf course uncontrolled and unsanctioned (those devils).
It is interesting, according to rumors, that neither of the two teams finished 1st. What is that all about?
Oct 12th 2015: Beautiful day, God did good! A turnout of 14 long-time dependable Strokers took
advantage of the great fall weather and enjoyed the golf and fellowship during dinner afterward at the
lodge. George Fetcho was once again on time and when George shows up, we are assured of no rain.
And, yet again, George came through. By month’s end most of our tried and true Strokers will be honing
their game in warmer climates…feel sorry for them. Not! Here are the bragging rights winning teams:
1st place—@ -2:
Boyd Weiss, Lough Cosner, Dottie & Skip Creamer
2nd place---@ -1:
George Fetcho, John Bowers, Cathy & Loring Young (who?)
3rd place--@ Even: Birgit & Bernie Stock, and Sam Berry
We had a late entry of an all-female team, who had practiced the front nine in hopes of cracking one of
the top three winner spots. Not a chance ladies (Ann Dunson, Vickie Mastalerz & Sue Aamodt) with all
the talent in the Stroker field but thanks for joining us.
Cathy and I are saying “good-bye” to all our Stroker friends. As a result, a Commish is needed for next
year. Not too much work when done as a team (Cathy), so step out of your comfort zone and pick up the
Stroker Ball and enjoy the camaraderie and kibitzing. Give me a call and I will turn over the “Holy Grail
Book of Strokers” to you. “Thank You” to Skip Creamer for capping off our evenings with laughter.
Note: We should not lose sight of the value the weekly events, such as Strokers golf and Shuffleboard,
have to the lodge in the form of dinners, drinks, gratuities to the staff and other lodge expenditures.
“Give me golf clubs, fresh air and a beautiful partner, and you can keep the clubs and the fresh air.”

OF INTEREST TO OUR COMMUNITY
CHECK listings on the last page of FWIW for a complete line-up of activities that are ongoing in
Alpine. 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.
ALPUC -- Please take time to update your information on file at ALPUC, including current telephone,
cell phone, email address, etc. You can do so by emailing it to [email protected] or by calling the
office (304) 789-6996 or adding a note with your payment. This information is critical in case we need to
reach you. Thanks for taking a minute to do this NOW.
TERRA ALTA FOOD BANK – There is an ongoing need to replenish supplies at our local food bank
so please add your donations whenever you can to help this worthy cause. There is a box inside the front
foyer of the lodge for your convenience. Please continue to be generous in your giving.
HELLO ALPINITES (ALPINERS?) WINTERING IN FL – by Michele Hall & Wilma Rumble
Please join us at Bok Gardens on Tuesday, Dec. 8th to enjoy the Christmas at Bok Gardens display. Bok
Gardens is easily accessible to where many of us spend the chilly months. It is worth a visit just for the
Gardens, but especially in December, when they really get in the holiday spirit! The house is decorated
for Christmas, special Carillon Concerts are offered, special themes and guided tours, etc. If enough of us
rsvp, we can check about group pricing. Since the 1930s theme and antique cars are there on Tuesdays
only, Tue., Dec. 8th would be a good day to meet (see http://boktowergardens.org/christmas/). If you are
interested in being on a list for this or other winter social events, or have suggestions, please contact us at
[email protected]. Thanks and hope to see you!
TREES FOR SPRING PLANTING
The West Virginia Forestry Department sells seedlings. Several property owners have expressed interest
in planting some red bud trees. The minimum order is 25 for 3 year old bare root trees and cost $2 per
tree. We would order them for spring planting. If you are interested, contact John Laing at (304)789-6120
or [email protected]. We could also order other varieties, but again would need to order in bunches of
50 trees (see http://epay.wvsto.com/Shopping%20Carts/Forestry/Category.aspx?CategoryId=7).
THE MALAWI PROJECT– Tony & Sheila Amato
Anyone on prescription medicines finds themselves a bit uncomfortable when throwing away so many
empty medicine bottles. It is obvious our landfills do not need these plastic containers! There is enough
trash going into the landfills already. While first -world nations throw away perfectly good medicine
bottles, medical pharmacies and hospital facilities in Malawi often find themselves with nothing except
torn pieces of paper in which to wrap medicine for their patients. This is often seen in rural hospitals and
villages where the poorest of the nation try to live and survive. You can help to change this. Save up a
group of your pill containers when you have completed that portion of your prescription. Place them in
boiling water until you are able to easily remove the labels and the glue (or we will remove them before
shipping them out). Drop them off at the reception desk at the Lodge and they will be collected and sent
to the Malawi Project for shipment to Malawi. You can also include plastic containers that aspirin and
vitamins come in. Our efforts will help families in a third world country keep their medicines clean, out of
reach of small children, and safe while they are being used.

ALUMINUM CANS – Bernie and Birgit Stock
THE ALUMINUM CAN RECYCLING BIN IS CLOSED UNTIL SPRING. DO NOT USE. TAKE TO
T.A., CRUSH, SAVE OR TRASH.
COMMITTEE REPORTS
ECC COMMITTEE – by Dick Gallagher, Chair
The beautiful colors of fall are on the trees and will soon be on the ground. We remind owners that there
can be no open burning of leaves and branches. Also, leaves have overtaken the roadways and it is
difficult to determine where the paved portion ends. Please be careful! Also, if you come upon your
neighbor using a leaf blower to rearrange the leaves in the yard, remember that he can’t hear you and is
probably focused on the leaves, so drive slowly and cautiously.
We are again asking owners to display their house numbers so they are clearly visible from the street. It
is both a requirement of Preston County and a common-sense means of identifying your home in case of
emergency. This may be especially important to those of you who are leaving for the winter, so please
get those numbers posted.
Reminder: All “For Sale” and realtor signs must be removed by December 31st. We are working with the
marketing committee and the realtors on an alternative, less obtrusive means to help homeowners who
wish to sell their properties. Further information should be available soon.
COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE – by Charlotte Wiles, Chair
The 2016 Alpine Lake Calendar will hopefully be published in the next two weeks. We will definitely
have a date when the next FWIW is published. All dates for any events must be in by October 25, 2015.
PROPERTY OWNERS COMMITTEE – by Bernie and Birgit Stock, Co-Chairs
The final report on the Oktoberfest is in. With proceeds in and bills paid the Committee showed a gain of
$6100. This includes income from the Fest, Breakfast, Romeos feed and donations. Our expenditures
were $4700. (They are available for any PO to audit.) Thanks again to all who were involved in making it
happen. Remember to support our sponsors: Clear Mountain Bank, Gregg's Pharmacy, Clutter Realty and
Fortitude PT&R.
Our last Carry-In Picnic will have been held (10/15) by the time you read this. We got rid of the leftovers
(brats, sausage, peppers and biscuits), said some goodbyes and enjoyed each other's company before the
first snow comes. Hopefully, we'll be keeping things alive through the fall/winter months. Keep abreast
by staying online, reading FWIW and checking out the shadow boxes.
MARKETING COMMITTEE – Ronnie Schiffbauer & Rich Nelson, Co-Chairs
The Marketing Committee continues to work with the ECC and realtors for a resolution to not posting
"For Sale" signs in our community. Other similar communities use small wooden mail box type structures
or black/white metal brochure boxes that are complementary to natural surroundings. These boxes can
hold flyers with the important data pertaining to the specifics of the home and the realtor/owner handling
the listing. When all the details are completed, the Marketing Committee and ECC will inform the
community to the guidelines (type, size, placement, availability or how to obtain).
7
Having a complementary and uniform way of advertising homes that are available will enable realtors,
home owners and prospective buyers to show/see homes for sale in Alpine Lake yet maintain
our beautiful, natural setting.
The board has asked the committee to concentrate on events and activities within our community this
coming year. In analyzing any information made available about past events, we continue to suggest
ways to improve them and find some new interests to promote. Your ideas are always encouraged.
Alpine Lake has so many opportunities to "Live Your Dreams" no matter what your interests are. Golfing,
fishing, boating, hiking, swimming, tennis, bocce, miniature golf, and much, much more! Or just sit
back, relax and take in all of the natural beauty of Alpine Lake’s four seasons as the view changes from
day-to-day. All right here at our doorsteps!
Volunteers make our community outstanding. The Marketing Committee has an opening for a property
owner to volunteer his or her time and talent. If interested, please contact one of the co-chairs.
FROM MANAGEMENT & STAFF
GENERAL MANAGER’S CORNER – by Linette Sines, Interim General Manager
I would like to start by saying that I am honored to be chosen as the Interim General Manager. The past
week and a half have been a blur! I am asking for everyone's patience as I try to fill the shoes of the
Business Manager as well as the General Manager. With all of the new projects going on, and winter
around the corner, my main goal is making sure that deadlines are being met so projects are not delayed. I
am also working to improve communication between the GM and staff as well as the Property Owners. I
am thankful for the support and encouragement that I am getting from many Property Owners and am
looking forward to devising a plan to help Alpine Lake become a place for everyone (both guests and
owners) to "Live Their Dreams."
I am pleased to announce that Tammy Heavner will begin her employment here at Alpine as the Business
Manager on October 26th. Tammy worked with us over the summer as our Human Resources Director

open on Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 4pm - 9pm. The Laker's Lounge will be open daily from
11am - 10pm. Also, don't forget to mark your calendar for the annual Halloween Party to benefit the Ali
Ghan Shriner's! DJ Mark Falkenstein will be rocking the Evergreene Room on October 31st from 8pm 11pm, so start planning your costumes! Admission is $10.00/person and $15.00/couple.

SECURITY – by Fuzzy Corum, Director of Security
The Alpine Lake Resort sign at the main entrance has been installed. We have installed a game camera at
the boat yard. Remember to call security when you have guests coming to your residence. Try to obey
all speed limit signs. Officer Wayne Judy is still under doctor’s care and is doing well!
MARKETING – by Craig Mason, Interim Marketing Coordinator & Group Sales
I have been in the position now for 2 weeks. . .WOW is all I can say! I look forward to continuing to
market Alpine Lake Resort and the many benefits of living, working, and visiting here. Even though
there have been some changes over the past two weeks, I have seen some of the best teamwork in all
departments! We recently hosted the Mountain State Council of the Blind which turned out to be a huge
success. I look forward to working with them in the future! Please be advised of the new hours, they have
been posted online and around the property. My office has been relocated and I am no longer in the
basement. If you need me, just ask the front desk. Right now I am focusing on all the upcoming events
and more bookings. Please help us welcome the Country Quilters group on the 23rd and I hope to see all
of you at our Halloween Party on the 31st. I am welcoming the booking of holiday parties just give me a
call at (304)789-2481 ext. 152 or send me a message at [email protected]. I feel blessed to be
in such a position at Alpine and if I can be of any assistance to you, please don’t hesitate.
Restaurant and Laker Lounge News:
You've spoke and we have heard!!! All Mountaineer games in the lounge we will continue to run the $2
draft special and other various game day specials! So make sure you come up and support your team, and
the lovely staff serving you! On weekdays if the lounge is slow the closing time will be 9:00 PM, but if
business is present the hours can always be flexible. As always we welcome your business and look
forward to seeing you.
ALPOA BOARD NEWS
PRESIDENT’S REPORT – by Ginger Tucker, President
Change is all around us. As the leaves change in multi-colored hues so too we must change and adapt to
new management. The contract between ALPOA and Freddie Harrison stated that his services could be
terminated with or without cause, provided he was given 30 days’ notice. On Sunday, October 4th,
representatives of the board provided Freddie with that notice. That decision was made after a discussion
at a meeting attended by all board members. At the time of his termination notice, Freddie was offered
another position at Alpine. He rejected that offer. Based on legal counsel advice and board policy the
board members will not discuss personnel matters.
Please welcome and support Linette Sines as our Interim GM. Linette was offered the position with a one
year contract ending on September 30, 2016. The board is also looking for property owners who would
be willing to work on developing an Alpine Lake Strategic Plan. Strategic planning is a process to
develop a blueprint for achievement of its overall long-term organizational goals. We have essentially
two aspects that exist at Alpine Lake, the business side and the Homeowner Association and we need to
envision a plan for the Alpine Lake of the next 10 or 20 years. Liz Collins has researched the strategic
plan process and we are now looking for property owners who would like to help draft a plan that we can
9
refine over the coming months. The plan will then be submitted for all property owners to review at our
annual meeting.
Additionally, the board will use the email addresses supplied in the Alpine Lake Phone Directory to send
email blasts on topics of interest to all property owners. If you have not included an email address in the
phone book but would like to receive these emails please submit your email address to Craig Mason, our
Interim Marketing Coordinator. On the other hand, if you do not want to receive emails, please request
that we withdraw your address.
The board has received a draft restaurant lease agreement from CGC LLC (Duane & Liz Collins and
Nancy Glotfelty) and have entered into negotiations. No decisions have been made at this time.
The board received 4 property owner resumes for the open board seat: Andy Knapp, Tony Amato, Fred
Isennock and Pat Arnone. The board selected Pat Arnone to fill the 8 remaining months of the vacated
board seat. Please welcome Pat and thank her for serving.
Just a reminder that the owner frequent visitor cards are available by contacting Linette Sines,as we will
only issue 4 cards per owner. These will have a one year expiration date which will follow Alpine Lake’s
fiscal year (meaning the same as your vehicle sticker) and have your visitor’s name and your name as the
host. These will be maintained in our property management database.
