Committee Reports Finance
The Finance Committee met on April 15th to discuss the current level of reserves that the LLA has pledged as collateral for the completion of the CDA. The Finance Committee met again on April 30th. Attorney Torin K. Andrews Esquire with Andrews & Lawrence Law Group made a presentation showing the various collection services his company offers. The Committee discussed the possibility of doing more collection services in-house. March’s bank reconciliations were approved.
Trailblazers
Two new “connector” trails have recently been added to the Lake Linganore trail system. Both trails have been “in the works” for a long time and it is gratifying to see them now in the final stages of development. The first trail (Pinehurst Lake Connector Trail) is a short pathway that links West Lakeridge Road to the Pinehurst Lake Trail, utilizing the Parcel B easement between 6718 and 6720 West Lakeridge Road. The trail starts at street
level between two small trees/shrubs, steps down from a low retaining wall and follows a cleared pathway down to the Pinehurst Lake Trail and Lake Linganore. Wooden signposts have been set at the top of the trail (at West Lakeridge Road) and at the intersection with the trail along Lake Linganore, to designate the new trail's location. The second trail (Audubon North Townhomes Access Trail) connects the Audubon North Townhomes with Eaglehead Drive, the Audubon Lake Access Trail, and ultimately Lake Linganore near the canoe racks below Aspen Village. The trail starts at the southwest corner of the village, across from 10218 Wood Thrush Drive (near a water manhole cover). The location is marked by a wooden trail signpost. The trail follows a cleared Parcel B through a wooded area down to Eaglehead Drive. At that point trail users turn right and walk on the grass a short way, cross Eaglehead Drive (via a painted cross-walk) and access the Audubon Lake Access Trail. While the cross-walk has not yet been painted, it is anticipated that it will be in place soon. The Audubon Lake
Access Trail is currently closed due to the construction in Aspen Village above the trail, but it is expected to reopen in early June. Hopefully both of these new trails will allow Pinehurst and Audubon North Townhomes residents easier access to Lake Linganore.

Sailing Club
LLA staff is considering options to improve the friendliness of the lake for sailing. This could include better lakeside storage options for sunfish, lasers and sailboards and possibly facilities for sailing lessons.

your needs. Within 5 days of receipt of these documents you have the right to cancel the contract in writing.
APPRAISAL
This is usually ordered by your lender. Should the home appraise for the contract price or higher, the sale will proceed normally. If it appraises for less, then a new set of negotiations will begin and may either result in a price reduction or the sale not moving forward.
UTILITIES
Although the settlement company will usually take care of the water, remember to have all other utilities changed into your name.
INSURANCE the process.
Insuring your new home is an important step in
APPROVAL
‘Clear to Close’ is the phrase you are looking to hear from your lender, signifying that everything is fully approved and you are ready for settlement.
HUD1
The settlement company will send a HUD statement to the lender and agents, and once all is deemed to be correct you should get a copy.
FUNDS TO CLOSE
The HUD will indicate what funds (if any) you need to bring to the table. These would normally be in the form of a certified check.
Buyer's Guide to A Successful Closing by Liz Burrow, REALTOR® Finding the right home, putting in an offer and subsequently negotiating an acceptable contract are of course the first steps to purchasing a home, but what comes next? Assuming that these contingencies have been included in the contract, here is a simple check list of what a typical process might look like:
FINANCING
To write your offer, you will most certainly be preapproved, but now you need to get all of your documentation to your lender in a timely manner to secure the loan.
INSPECTION
Always advisable in my opinion. You are looking for safety issues and major items which may be costly to repair should they be faulty…. Don’t sweat the small stuff!
HOA DOCUMENTS
It may be heavy going, but familiarize yourself with the covenants and bylaws to ensure the community suits 14
laketalk june-2013
FINAL WALK THROUGH
This affords you the opportunity to check that all is still in order with the home and that the sellers have left it as specified in the contract.
CLOSING
Your agent will usually accompany you to closing and on occasion your lender may also attend. Make sure that you have photo identification and a well-rested hand for signing all of the paperwork.
Your contract will include a time frame for most of your contingencies and it is imperative to ensure that you adhere strictly to these. While a good realtor will guide you through all of these steps, it is still important to understand the process-so make sure to a keep a check list handy.
The Cubbards are Bare... But for Who? by Erika Dula Each year there are about 6 million animals taken to shelters to be put up for adoption. In recent years since the recession has hit the United States, this statistic has made its way up to a staggering 8 million. Not only are families and individuals across the nation struggling to keep their homes and jobs, they are struggling to keep food on the table. Many times this leaves our four-legged friends behind. Americans are being faced with the decision of whether or not to continue to care for themselves, or for their pets. In many cases folks have had to relocate to more affordable housing and cannot bring their companions. In some instances, people are able to feed their pets, but not necessarily continue to maintain regular veterinary care because of the costs.

Water Quality Update by Neal Spungen
The Water Quality Committee started testing for algae producing nutrients at three sites on the lake in late May. Volunteers took samples at Linganore Creek, Ben's Branch, and Indian Caves. The samples will be processed by Hood College. The test results will help us better understand the sources of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphates. We will also be testing the water velocity and turbidity to better understand the presence of nutrients in the water. E. coli testing has been taking place weekly at Nightingale and Coldstream beach since the beginning of March. The good news is that most of of the results have been below the Maryland safe swimming standards. Through additional research, committee members have been able to determine that increased E. Coli levels seem to follow periods of precipitation. The frequency of testing will increase to daily from the end of May to the end of August. Test results are available on the LLA website: Committees > Friends of the Lake > Test Results
Camping is S’more Fun
Great American Backyard Campout Sponsored by National Wildlife Federation On June 22, 2013, thousands of families across the nation will gather in their backyards, neighborhoods, communities, and parks and enjoy a night under the stars while helping fundraise for a leading conservation organization. As part of the National Wildlife Federation’s “Be Out There” movement, the Great American Backyard Campout encourages people to get outside and connect with the natural world. It is especially important for kids because, for the first time in our country’s history, we have an entire generation that is growing up disconnected from nature. Spending time outdoors, like Campout, makes kids happier and healthier. The National Wildlife Federation provides everything you need to head out into the great outdoors. The Campout website has packing lists, recipes, nocturnal wildlife guides, explo16

Many Thanks to Our Teens!
This year the Events Committee called upon local teens to assist with the kids activities at the Summer Festival. The response was overwhelming! Lake Linganore's Teen Volunteers have been vital to providing fun activity booths this year. Without our Teen Volunteers we would not have been able to expand the scope of the Summer Festival and accomplish as much as we have. We greatly appreciate the time that our Teen Volunteers have donated and hope that our community recognizes how many great kids live right here in Linganore. Our Linganore Teens ROCK!

¡Buen Viaje! Ready for a break? In the coming weeks, many families will be escaping the daily grind and heading out on a well-deserved vacation. Before you hit the road, take a few precautions so your home isn’t enticing to thieves, susceptible to a fire, or vulnerable to other blights. Consider implementing these safety tips to keep your home and our community secure: Call on Friends for Help. If you’re going to be away for a week or more, ask a trusted friend to check on your house every day or two—or better yet, try to find a housesitter while you’re gone. Not only will they make sure nothing happens to your home, but you might also ask them to bring in your mail and newspapers, water plants or even feed Fluffy. It’s also a good idea to let your neighbors know a friend is monitoring your property so they don’t call the police to thwart a perceived “breakin.” Set your Lights on a Timer. Leaving your house unlit for days on end is a sure sign to burglars that it’s empty, but so is keeping the lights on 24-7. A good way to handle the lights on/off conundrum is to set them on a timer that’s scheduled to simulate your regular routine. Of course, if the lights seem a bit too simulated, that can be another telltale sign, so it’s a good idea to set the timers in individual rooms on staggered schedules to make the light coming from your home seem more natural. This is not feasible for all homeowners, but it’s a creative idea if you have the capability.
your welcome mat, above the door frame or in a hide-a-key contraption, chances are it will take the nefarious types five minutes flat to find it and gain easy entry. Take the key with you, let a friend hold onto it or put it inside the house while you’re gone. If you’re worried about misplacing your spare key: don’t be! Calling a locksmith is a lot less traumatic than calling the police. Make a Last-Minute Checklist. Are all the windows and doors locked? Stove and oven turned off? How about all the faucets? Are the electronics unplugged and valuables secured? Take five minutes before you leave to ensure your house is vacation-ready. Another run-through of the house may seem unnecessary if you did it earlier in the day, but knowing you’ve left your house as safe as possible will help you kick back and have a great vacation.
Stop your Mail and Newspaper. Nothing screams “nobody’s home!” like a pile of newspapers strewn about your doorstep or an overflowing mailbox. So, if you can’t get a friend or neighbor to collect them for you, it’s best to have your mail and paper stopped if you’re going to be out of town for awhile. Don’t leave the Spare house Key lying around. That fake rock where you keep the extra house key isn’t as discrete as you think! Whether you keep a spare under

What a Canoe Can Do For You by C. Roberson
Photo taken of Lake Linganore, by The Roberson Family I walk past the lake, casually gazing over the still water and the sandy beach. Up on the grassy hill before the beach are two rows of colorful canoes, locked on wooden racks. I look reflectively at them; there are many adventures to be had in a canoe. There are early morning trips, paddling quietly out onto the misty lake. Everything is still and peaceful; the sky, dusted with powdery pink, is reflected on the surface of the water. A low sound, like a mix of a honk and a screech, disturbs the stillness. Turning, you see the long shape of a heron, gracefully winging through the morning air; it’s a great blue heron, the biggest bird on the lake. With another honk, the bird flies past you, soaring a few feet above the surface of the water. You have stopped paddling to view the majestic creature, but now you propel the canoe forward again. There is still a whole morning to enjoy, and this isn’t the last nature sighting on your paddle. In the cool dimness of the forest you see movement; the canoe sails quietly forward as you move towards the shore to investigate. A tawny flank, a rustle of leaves—an elegant doe dips her head to the water for a drink. You freeze, hushed in awe. The creature lifts her head and looks at you with dark eyes before turning and loping gracefully off into the trees. Then there are the hot afternoons, when the sunshine is 22

blazing and the beach crowded. You aren’t confined to the land—you slip away in your slim craft, dipping your paddle deep into the cool water. It seems like a good day to visit the Indian Cave and its creek inlet—the weather is much too hot to be out beneath the sun—but on the way you detour to paddle along the shore line. Turtles like this kind of day, and you know they will be out sunning themselves on the rocks. Sure enough, as your boat glides past the logs floating near the shore, you see a dark lump sitting in the sunshine. It is an adult turtle. He is smart, and when he hears you close-by, he scrambles into the water and is gone. But just a few paddle strokes away you spot another prime log, and this time there is a tiny nickel-sized baby turtle sunning on it. He is young and innocent, and you get quite close—close enough to see the painted marks on his shell—before he leaps into the water with a little plop. As you continue on your way, you float beneath a concrete bridge and see barn swallows, like so many butterflies, flitting about the underside. They are guarding their nests—little round mud dwellings—which are built onto the concrete; if you look closely you can see the dark heads of swallow babies peeping over the edges. You renew your paddling as the boat drifts out into the sunshine. Before long you round a final curve and find yourself at the mouth of an inlet, where you can see a tall rock structure towering out of the trees on
the right bank—the Indian Cave. The reflection of the water from the shore, the noise subdued by distance. You slip your paddle beneath the tranquil water and the canoe responds, plays in ripples across the grey of the rock. smoothly sliding forwards. Your journey takes you along the You propel your canoe the last few yards up the creek, and rich green shoreline, into the shadowy coolness of the trees, peace falls over you as the prow nudges at the rocky bed.

The creek gurgles and gushes over the rocks in and you quietly paddle closer. The canoe is silent, without a little falls and swirls, gathering in pools rimmed with bubbles, splash to give you away. Then a sharp smack echoes across and the trees rustle in a faint breeze, casting dappled patterns the lake! You jump, startled, and see the sleek dark head of a on the water and dirt. You climb out of the canoe, the cold, beaver just before he dives.
