ASSOCIATION
SOCIAL - Saturday, August 7th 1:00 PM at Pump House Park.
Lynn Horrocks will begin serving at 1:00 PM. Eats will include
roasted turkey, hot dogs, corn on the cob, potato salad, rolls,
treats and more. Game tournaments will include hors shoes and
washers, fish pond for those under 12 and ladder ball for families.
Bryan Christensen and Anne Carr will head up activities.
BOBCAT
IN HLA - Several folks have seen and photographed the
bobcat cruising the association. Originally this cat was believed to
be a very young cougar but after seeing the photographs it seems to
be a bobcat. Bobcats don't typically pose a threat to adult humans
but may attack domestic cats or small dogs. Take care to supervise
small domestic animals. More photographs are in the photo gallery
section.

DANG OL' RULES - Well folks, once again we are receiving reports of violations of
the rules and regulations. In the Document Services section you can
download a decorative condensed version for posting in your cabin to
help remind members, family, friends and guests. To cover some basics
that have been causing problems:
*Yes, your dog needs to be on a leash even if it is
super super nice and has never bitten anyone. If your pup is on perma-bark
he might be sad that your not paying him any attention. We won't mind if
you take him for a hop around the block... on a leash of course.
*Yes, kids have to wear helmets
and be certified to operate an OHV even if lil' Sally or Johnny is really really
good on the riding lawn mower at home.
*No, the association roads and property, including
the lake, are not a hill climb competition or race track
even if your ATV has big ol' wheels and a loud exhaust. Keep it on the
roads and tread lightly.
*Yes, you need to slow down when passing vehicles and
people even if you just can't wait to get to the cabin. We all know it
is a long wait for Friday. 15 mph unless your near people or cars and
then 5 mph will do. Our contacts and lungs thank you!
*Yes, you can currently have an outside fire in a pit
but if you start a forest fire or burn down a cabin the bear with the
funny hat is gonna want to talk to ya!
*Yes, you are responsible for everyone you bring in
and their actions while they are visiting even if they are really really
cool people who would never do anything like that.
*No, you can not trespass on anyone else's property
even if you don't think they will mind. Because... well, they just might
and then the next thing ya' know...
*Yes, ten o'clock really is the time for the party to
move inside. Some of us didn't get invited and the noise just makes us
feel bad.
YEARLY
DUES - At HLA we enjoy an exceptional property with
extraordinary amenities. This doesn't come without a cost. The BOD
volunteers hundreds of hours a year but there is cost associated
with roads, water, security and general maintenance to keep the
association running flawlessly. That said, yearly dues for both
water and general members were due May 3, 2010. A thirty day grace
period concluded on June 3, 2010. Those members that did not pay will incur a
$50.00 late fee. Sixty days from then water and gate access will be
turned off if the original dues and late fee are not paid in full.
An additional 100.00 reconnection fee will be assessed to turn back
on your water and gate access. As you can see it pays to pay on time.
PUMP
HOUSE PARK - PHP is open for reservations from June through October 9:00 AM to
10:00 PM. On days the park is not reserved it is open to those that
arrive first. If you are planning a family event or gathering of
friends you may reserve the park through Lynn Horrocks. The park
provides a large area for gatherings, horse shoe pits, picnic tables,
a pavilion, fire pit with theater seating and grassy areas for games
and enjoyment. There is currently no bathrooms facilities.
Pump House Park will not be available for reservations on Social weekend.
GATE
ISSUES - As summer the season begins it is important to remind
members of gate procedures. Twice yearly (Spring and Fall) Jim will reset the gate computer system for service and security
maintenance. During this procedure
all gate codes are purged and FOBs are added or removed. The service is quick and the gate is
accessible during this time.
It is important to remember gate codes are temporary and specific
such as a gathering for the weekend or contractor access. In the
past some members have thought once they receive a temporary code it
is good indefinitely. This has lead to members not bringing their
assigned FOB with them and subsequently a long drive back to get it.
If you have a contractor that needs access we will provide you a
specific number that is registered to you. When you request the code
we will ask for duration and remove the code on that date or sooner
if you notify us the work is complete. Please get your contractor
code request to Jim two weeks prior to requested
start date.
If you have a gathering and would like a temporary code
for your guests we can provide that code for the term of the
gathering after which the code will be removed for obvious security
reasons. If you need to request a code please give Jim a minimum two weeks notice for code entry.
Remember the gate codes are specific to you and
you are responsible for the actions of whoever uses them.
If your FOB is not working at the gate you might have
been removed from the system for non-payment of dues/fines. Please check
with the Treasurer Diane Duncan or Ways & Means Director Royce
McKay if this happens.
If you find the gate in not operating correctly or is
locked open please notify Jim Cavin or Betsy Frazier. If you need a code please contact
Jim Cavin
via email.
