Inclement weatherand the NCAA bas-ketball tournamentkept the crowdlight at the Seven

Lakes Landowners Associa-tion [SLLA] Annual Meetingon Sunday, March 25. Plus,little excitement was providedby an unremarkable ballotwith no dues increase requestand three candidates vyingfor three open seats on theSLLA Board of Directors.

All three candidates arenewcomers to the Board.Steve Ritter garnered thehighest number of votes at227, followed by Dave Buck-ingham with 222 votes andChuck Leach with 213 votes.Approximately eight proxy

ballots were reported.Volunteers, rather than

candidates, were the realstars of the Annual Meeting,as Pres ident Bob Darremphasized how support byso many individuals con-tributed to the overall successof the Association this pastyear.

“This Board has relied onthe input and assistance ofvolunteers," Darr said. "Some-times their work is visible;but, oftentimes, their workis not seen or acknowledged.”

Glancing over a list of morethan fifty Association mem-bers who contributed thispast year, either as a com-mittee member or at an event,he asked those present tostand and accept the appre-ciative applause of the crowd.

Singled out for his dedi-cated and longstanding serv-ice to the community, GeorgeTemple was recognized asthe "SLLA Citizen of the Year."

Upon moving to SevenLakes North in 1999, Templequickly established himselfas an active member of theLakes & Dams Committee,a role in which he continues,and “has been instrumentalin all decisions regarding thismost important communityasset,” said Darr.

Five years ago, Temple tookon the additional challengeof serving on the FinanceCommittee, and was creditedfo r h i s many hours o fresearch and analysis, plushis participation and atten-dance at nearly every meeting

Over the pastyear, 128 vol-unteers havechipped in onover twenty-four different

committees in Seven Lakes

West. Those volunteers wererecognized at the Seven LakesWest Landowners Association[SLWLA] Annual Meeting onSunday, March 18.

“The accomplishments ofthis community are obtainedwith the help and supportof these volunteers, who serve

our Board as committee vol-unteers," said Secretary JaneSessler.

Former President RonShepard said the volunteersin Seven Lakes West savethe community more than amillion dollars a year.

“I think it’s a lot more,”said Sessler. “I think theBoard thinks it's a lot more,too.”

This year, the Associationadded two new committees:the Dam Committee, whichis overseeing the ongoingwork to resurface the LakeAuman Dam roadway; andthe Amenities Committee,established to evaluate therules and regulations asso-ciated with the common areasthroughout the community.

Bob Darr retainedhis seat as Presi-dent of the SevenLakes LandownersAssociation [SLLA]

Board of Directors, by a voteof acclamation during a briefOrganizational Meeting heldimmediately following theAnnual Meeting on Sunday,March 25.

The meeting was called toorder by Judicial CommitteeChair Ed Chapman, usingnew standard election pro-cedures developed over thepast year. Darr nominatedincoming Director ChuckLeach to serve as Vice Pres-ident. He was seated by avote of acclamation, as werereturning Secretary BobRacine and Treasurer ConradMeyer.

Turning his attention tocommittee assignments, Darrrecommended preserving thestatus quo with Meyer head-ing up Finance; Director Fent-zlaff overseeing Lakes &Dams and ARB; and Racineleading Recreation and Com-munity Standards, in additionto serving as the Board liaisonto the Judicial Committee.

Newly elected Director SteveRittter was tasked with over-

seeing Security, and DirectorDave Buckingham wascharged with revamping thecommunity’s website andimproving communicationsin general.

“There has been a lot ofstuff that has gone on thisyear that did not make itinto the paper and a lot ofissues that we need to sellto the community,” Darrexplained. “How do we com-municate, and where do we

communicate? These areissues you’ll need to look at.”

With similar concerns thatneeded work has been over-looked by other pressing con-cerns, Darr tasked DirectorChuck Leach with Grounds& Maintenance.

“We need to get our armsaround this and set up aplan of what we are going todo. I think grounds andmaintenance are a lot biggerthan what we paid attention

to, and I think he can do agreat job,” Darr said.

In addition, Darr askedLeach, as Vice President, tojoin him as co-Chair of thenewly formed Long RangePlanning Committee.

“We are looking at thiswhole business of paving, atissues on bulkhead . . . Heand I can work on that withthe LRP Committee.”

During discussion, Meyersaid he hopes to continue to

generate enthusiasm andvolunteer support from thecommunity and cautionedthe Board against taking onmultiple chairmanships.Instead he recommendedthat, as new committees aredeveloped, Board membersserve as liaison members.

Community Manager AlinaCochran agreed, but notedthat a solid working base ofvolunteers to draw from willbe necessary for success.

Bob Darr will continue as SLLA President

Mick Herdrichwill retain thePresidency ofthe SevenLakes WestLandowners

Association [SLWLA] foranother year, re-elected tothe post in an organizationalmeeting of the new Board ofDirectors on Wednesday,March 21. Both SecretaryJane Sessler and TreasurerDon Freiert were also re-elected to their offices.

Legal Director Jack Stevenswas elected SLWLA Vice Pres-ident, a position filled lastyear by John Hoffmann, whohas retired from the Board.

Incumbent Directors willall hold the same committeeresponsibilities they heldprior to this past weekend'sAnnual Meeting. RosemaryWeber will continue as EventsDirector; Jim McCarthy, asSafety and Security Director;and Stevens, as Legal Direc-tor. Freiert will continue tochair the Long Range Plan-ning Committee and Sesslerwill continue to head up theCommunications Committee.

The responsibilities of thethree newly-elected Boardmembers were assigned asfollows: Jim Pierman as Infra-structure Director, BruceKeyser as Lake and DamDirector, and Dan Blue asArchitectural Review Director.

Freiert proposes hiringconsultant to developcommunity vision

Among the objectives ofthe Long Range PlanningCommittee is the creation ofa long term “vision” for SevenLakes West.

During Wednesday’s meet-ing, Director Freiert askedthe Board to review a RequestFor Proposal [RFP] that theCommittee has drafted inhopes of securing a bid froma company that can help cre-ate that vision.

“This is an effort,” saidFreiert, “and I think the com-munity will see and appre-ciate the fact that we aregoing after this to try andfind a true future directionthat everybody has had good

solid input in.”Freiert told the Board that

now is the time to initiatesuch a process, especiallywith the changing demo-graphics of the community.Seven Lakes West is no longerjust for retirees, but also forworking families, he said.

Given the number of visi-tors that will be brought toMoore County by the 2014Twin US Opens -- as well asthe potential competition forhome buyers represented bythe recently-approved PineForest development, Freiertsaid this may be a perfecttime to market the commu-nity.

One drawback to the pro-posal may be the projectedprice tag of $50,000 -- anamount that Freiert said is

just an estimate that couldbe fine-tuned once companiessubmit their proposals.

“Fifty thousand dollars isa lot of money,” said EventsDirector Rosemary Weber.“With the economic timesthat we are in now -- theroads situation and all theother expenditures we havedown the road -- do you thinkthe timing is right to do astudy like this?”

“I don’t think the timingcould be better than now,”said Legal Director Stevens,“Not only do we have theOpens coming in, we havethe highway [NC Highway211] being built out here.”

Having worked with othercommunities similar to theWest Side, Community Man-ager Joan Frost told the

Board: “A study like this notonly tells you where youwould like to be, but it tellsyou how to get there andwhat steps you need to takealong the way -- and it willsave you a lot of money.”

Reiterating that the Asso-ciation is now the de facto"developer" of Seven LakesWest, Stevens told the Boarda plan is needed.

“It’s certainly a huge stepup for us,” said Stevens, “Wehave been a hodgepodge foryears. It has been trial anderror -- and to a large extenterror -- and we are playingcatch up spending a lot of

money.”The Long Range Planning

Committee has proposed thatthe RFPs go out by April 13,with interviews of prospectivecompanies in July. The Boardhas suggested a Town Hallmeeting for community inputonce the RFPs are returnedand more information on thecost of the project can beobtained.

If the Association decidesto move forward with thestudy, commencement of theproject would be planned forSeptember 1, with a finaladoption of the plan likelyin August 2013.

One of a very select groupof retailers nationwide, Med-leyanna’s — everyone’sfavorite little junk shop inWest End — now carries theexclusive brand: Annie SloanChalk Paint.

The paint was developed“across the pond” by Englishpainter Annie Sloan, who isalso well-known in designcircles as the author of overtwenty books, including thebest-seller, The CompleteBook of Decorative Paint Tech-

niques. Dissatisfied with commer-

cially available paints, Sloanspecifically designed her prod-uct for use on furniture, butcustomers quickly realizedthe chalk paint would pro-duce a neat finish on nearlyany surface — from coun-tertops to concrete, linoleum,wrought iron, even leather.

The Annie Sloan paint col-ors are based around a his-torical 18th century palette,Medleyanna’s owner, HarrietWicker said. The shop offers29 colors of chalk paint, sheexplained, but the optionsare nearly limitless as eachpaint color can be softened-up to five varying shades.And, when mixing two ormore paints, nearly sixty col-ors can be easily crafted.

Named for its soft mattefinish when the paint is dry,

Annie Sloan Chalk Paint isalso low VOC and has vir-tually no odor. But it is theversatility of the paint thattruly makes it special — thatand the fact that no primeror prep work is needed beforestarting a project.

“If it’s not a pleasure topaint with it, then you’redoing something wrong,”explained Amy York of Med-leyanna’s.

York conducts daylongpainting workshops at theshop that emphasize six basicbut differing techniques forusing the chalk paint, includ-ing crackle, two-color dis-tressed, clouded stipple, verytextured, smooth, and rus-tic.

“Occasionally, I would painta piece of furniture and itjust did not work out right,”York said. “So I’d have tostrip it down and start again.Then I learned about chalkpaint and found that I don’thave to sand it, or prime it .. . . using chalk paint savedme a lot of time,” said York.“The paint is a bit expensive,but it makes a huge differencewith no prep work, and thatmade painting more pleas-urable.”

York explained that usingdifferent techniques to thick-en or thin the paint provideseven more versatility andoptions, as does the use offinishing waxes offered in

the Annie Sloan product linethat provide a slight protectivesheen to a finished piece.

Any brush can be usedwith the paint, even inex-pensive synthetic brushes,and chalk paint is suitablefor both indoor and outdoorapplications.

Medleyanna’s owner, Har-riet Wicker, admitted shewas initially skeptical.

“I thought, ‘it’s just paint.’What could possibly warrantall the excitement,” Wickersaid.

However, she was a quickconvert once she tried thechalk paint for herself andsaid she spent the next eightmonths working to bring theproduct to her West Endshop. Now an official retailer,Medleyanna’s is the only storefrom Troy to Fayetteville tothe South Carolina line tooffer Annie Sloan products.

“Painted furniture is whereit is going right now,” shesaid. “It is what is in, andFrench country is in — andchalk paint works very wellfor both.”

Wicker said she has attend-ed Annie Sloan training work-shops, as have all other Med-leyanna’s staff, so the entireteam is well-versed in themany t e chn iques andoptions.

Are you ready to kick upyour heels on a warm springnight? Then don’t miss thethird annual Spring BarnDance held Saturday, April21, 6 pm to 10 pm at theMcLendon Hills EquestrianCenter for the benefit of thePrancing Horse Center forTherapeutic Riding.

“After a long winter, it’s agreat way to welcome spring,”urges Lin Cook, co-chair ofthe event. “It’s a jeans andboots night and the dancingevent of the year.”

A portion of the barn’s mainaisle will serve as a massivedance floor for the bootscootin’ crowd who will getin step with music by DJ,King Curtiss. Italian Table

Ristorante is hosting the buf-fet dinner, which includesassorted entrees and will beserved for guests to enjoy atwhite tablecloth-drapedtables. The dinner alsoincludes wine and sodas,provided by Sandhills Winery.The evening will also featurea silent auction.

The highlight of the eventwill be a formation ridingdemonstration performed bysome of the therapeutic ridingcenter’s students.

“Formation riding, alsoknown as drill team riding,is a competitive event forable-bodied riders, so it reallychallenges our students todevelop their motor and mem-ory ski l ls and t iming,”explains Nancy Piscopo, oneof the volunteers helping tochoreograph the event.“They’re very excited to betraining toward the goal ofperforming at the barn dance,it’s a huge deal for them,”she says. “As volunteers,we are also excited aboutshowing our guests how their

generous donations are putto work.” However, she alsocautions that if unsafe ridingconditions are present thatevening, the riding perform-ance will be canceled. “Safetyof the riders is most impor-tant.”

The Spring Barn dance,along with the annual HorseFarm Tour he ld in theAutumn, a r e the twofundraising events that sup-port the center’s therapeuticriding program. In the past26 years, over 52,000 chil-dren and adults with physi-cal, mental or emotional chal-lenges have been touched bythe medically approved andaccredited therapeutic ridingprogram offered by PrancingHorse.

According to Judy Lewis,executive director of PrancingHorse, Inc., the riding pro-gram serves students fromall walks of life and with var-ious special needs. “Theyall have something in com-mon. When they get on thehorse, their speech, balance,

core strength and self-esteemall improve. And best of all—they smile.”

Last year, 150 peopleattended the barn dance.The event reached its targetgoal and added funding tosupport the 2012 program.Lewis says the event’s pro-ceeds go directly toward stu-dent fees. While studentspay a charge of thirty dollarsper hour for group lessons,that price represents onlyone-third of the lesson’s cost.The remaining cost is raisedthrough fundraising and pri-vate donations.

Recognized by their peersfor outstanding accomplish-ment in the classroom,Teachers of the Year andTeacher Assistants of theYear were recently announcedin local schools.

Westsider Lisa Gorenflo, a4th grade teacher at WestEnd Elementary was namedTeacher of the Year, with fel-low Westsider Shannon Bate-man honored as TeacherAssistant of the Year for theschool.

This is Gorenflo’s ninthyear teaching at West End

Elementary and her sixteenthin the profession. She andher husband Mike settled inSeven Lakes West in 1999,after enjoying the communityon many visits with her in-laws, who retired in SevenLakes.

She said the best part ofteaching is when you see atopic has sparked the stu-dent’s interest and theirhands pop-up with ques-tions.

“I like to see them as activelearners,” Gorenflo explained.

In particular, she noted ascience grant from the Smith-sonian Institute provided theschool with teacher trainingand materials for an elec-tronic circuit science unitthat was very well-receivedby the children.

“They were so in to it andworking together,” Gorenflosaid. “They were highlyengaged, and one mothersent an email that her soncame home from school talk-ing about science, and thathe had never been so excited.That made my day.”

She also credits communityinvolvement, parent volun-teers, and her fellow teachersand staff for creating a warm

and supportive atmospherefor learning.

“There is a real sense ofcommunity and family . . .We are very fortunate to havethat here,” said Gorenflo.

West End Elementary rec-ognized Westsider ShannonBateman as Ass i s tan tTeacher of the Year. Now inher seventh year with theschool, Bateman assists withthe preschool classroom.

“I live in the community.My children went to schoolhere, and I was familiar withthe teachers,” Bateman said,explaining her decision tobegin substitute teaching,

which eventually led to a full-time position at WEE. “Thisschool acts like a family.They just have a warm feelinghere, and it was easy to comein and be a part of that.”

She describes the best partof her job as having a rela-tionship with the childrenand helping them grow.

“What I enjoy is havinginput into their development.I like watching them growand change,” she said. “Theyare such little sponges andare just so amazed at suchsmall bits of information.When they learn their ABC’sand are proud of themselves— I just love being a part ofthat.”

Stephanie Monroe, whoformerly taught at West End,but is now a 2nd gradeteacher at the still new WestPine Elementary school, was

also recognized as Teacherof the Year.

A nationally board-certifiedteacher, Monroe grew up innearby Robbins and nowresides in Carthage.

teaching is making a realconnection with the students.

“Even on the roughest day,you walk away knowing thatyou made a difference. I wantmy kids to learn what they’resupposed to know, but alsoto be aware of the communityaround them,” she said.

Monroe said she alwaysknew she wanted to be ateacher and that she hopesto inspire her students to belifelong learners.

“I love teaching, and I amexcited about starting eachday as I engage my students,”she said. “It makes me smileto see the children when I’vetaught them something andthey get it — that I havetaught them something andknowing that I planted thatseed that will continue togrow throughout their edu-cation.”

In addition to her traditionalteaching role, Monroe is acheerleading coach and isalso busy preparing her dog,“Bella,” to undergo certifica-tion testing to become a reg-istered therapy dog.

Moore County native Con-nie Bachman, who also for-merly taught at WEE wasnamed the West Pine Ele-mentary Teacher Assistantof the Year.

With a degree in economics

and business, Bachman saidteaching wasn’t her firstchoice in vocation, but hascertainly been her best choice.

“I really enjoy teaching andwish I had known I was goodat this when I was in college,”she joked.

A teacher assistant with

Moore County Schools forseven years, she said sheand her youngest child bothwent to 2nd grade together.

“I love working with thekids, especially the littleones,” said Bachman. “Theyare so innocent and willingto please and willing to learn.I love that ‘Aha!’ momentwhen they get it and are soproud of themselves.”

One advantage to movingaround schools early in hernew career, she said, wasthe ability to see many dif-ferent teaching styles.

“I have been able to helpout — especially new teachers— apply those styles andfind what works best forthem. I find it has been ben-eficial to move among class-rooms.”

West Pine Middle School’sTamara Lee, a resident ofSeven Lakes North, was alsonamed Teacher of the Year.

Lee has taught in MooreCounty schools for twenty-two years, the last ten atWest Pine Middle, where sheis currently a 6th grade SocialStudies teacher.

Early on in her career, shespecialized in reading. Butshe said, in working with lit-erature, she always empha-sized the historical and geo-graphica l aspects — ateaching style that eventuallyevolved into a fulltime positionin social studies.

Lee said the best part ofteaching is helping her stu-dents make a connection intheir learning.

“For instance, today wewere talking about theMedieval period and the cul-tural carry-overs to now,such as the soldier’s saluteand why brides carry bou-quets of flowers,” she said.

Moore County natives, Leeand her husband both grewup in Carthage and said theylove living in Seven Lakes,which she said they jokinglyca l l “ the suburbs o fCarthage.”

munity and to make a deci-sion on the mailhouse issue.

With Secretary Jane Sesslerat the helm, communicationon the Westside was greatlyimproved, with almost 700members signed up to receiveweekly “e-blasts.”

The weekly “e-blasts” pro-vide a way for the Board “tocommunicate with the com-munity and let people knowwhat's going on,” said Her-drich. “It’s also been veryvaluable to get informationout into the communitybefore rumors get started.”

The websi te has a lsobecome a “forum” for thecommunity to share ideas,leave comments, and com-municate with Board mem-bers, Herdrich said.

As of last week, the secondgoal -- finalizing the mail-house -- is well under way.The Board appointed outgoingDirector John Hoffmann tobe the project manager forthe mailhouse and frontentryway project -- the formeris set for completion by theend of 2012.

After feedback from thecommunity and US PostalService, the Board voted forone mailhouse to be con-structed near the West SidePark Community Center[WSPCC].

The Board also set goalsfor each of the Directors andthe committees they chair.Herdrich reviewed progresstoward those goals duringSunday’s meeting:

• Under the leadership ofLake and Dam Director AdamWimberly: Johnson Pointdocks were renovated, newpiezometers were installedon the dam, a Lake Patrolwas added, and the ski zoneon Lake Auman was expand-ed.

• Legal Director JackStevens was able to success-fully negotiate a deal withthe Aberdeen Carolina andWestern Railway Company,which granted Seven LakesWest their “independence”from the railroad. Stevensalso handled an annexationof Parkwood and the Club-house Commons lawsuit.

• Infrastructure DirectorJohn Goodman was able to

complete culvert repairsthroughout the community;and work on the lower pondroadway was finished afterthree months, which restoredthe front entrance view ofLake Auman.

• Finance Director DonFreiert implemented a newpolicies and procedures forinvestments, completed the2011 audit , formalizedaccounting policies and pro-cedure, and integrated theLong Range Plan of the com-munity into the FinancialPlans.

• Under ArchitecturalReview Director John Hoff-mann, the ARC committeeestablished a two co-chairsystem that will allow easytransition for new directorsof ARC. With the help of hiscommi t t e e , Ho f fmannimproved response times forapplications, established amentoring program and train-ing syllabus for new ARCmembers, created a varianceapplication procedure, andcompleted an update of ARCstandards.

• Safety and Security Direc-

tor Jim McCarthy selected anew security company thatwill begin work on May 1.He developed a new accesspolicy for the community andinstalled new lighting at thefront gate.

For the upcoming year, thefollowing projects are alreadyon the table: • Begin the mailhouse and

entrance projects.• Evaluate the recreational

use of the abandoned road-way over the Lake Aumandam.

• Complete a road and storm

drainage managementplan.

• The Amenities Committeewill focus on upgradesthroughout the communi-ty.
