Note from Prop. Mgr. about Fountains

Please be advised all fountains have been turned off due to low water levels. Michael [Faulk, from Martex] will use this time to perform maintenance but until we get enough rain to bring them back on line safely they will remain off. I have sent a note to Meghan at Heritage to post on the POA website.

CH POA Annual Meeting
The Cumberland Harbour Property Owners Association 2011 annual meeting was held on Sat., Mar 12, at the St. Marys Middle School Auditorium at 1:30.  The consensus among attendees was the meeting went well.  The agenda covered a lot of ground and included comments and/or PowerPoint presentations from Board members Paul Gommo (Pres.), Michelle Deis, Dan Mayer and Helen Ownby and PowerPoint presentations from Design Review Board Chair Joe Gregory and Landscape Committee Chair Dianne Lindsey. 

St. Marys City Councilperson Chuck Trader spoke about issues involving the City of St Marys and Cumberland Harbour.  A generous amount of time was given for property owners to ask questions after each agenda item was discussed.

Board President Paul Gommo presented former board member Bernie Huber and recently resigned board member Michelle Deis, with plaques thanking them for their service to the Cumberland Harbour community.  (Michelle submitted her resignation in January, and the March annual meeting was her last official act.)   Harbour Lights reiterates it's prior thank you to Bernie and conveys a big thank you to Michelle Deis for all her service and hard work as a POA board member.  Sam Colville was named as a new POA board member.  The meeting was adjourned at 3:45.

CH "Navy" involved in Causeway & River Cleanups
Photos by S. Lindsey, B. Timberlake & J. Means (scroll down for photos)
Cumberland Harbour residents recently volunteered for trash cleanup duty on two different days in March.

About 16 residents volunteered to pick up litter along the North River Causeway on Fri., Mar. 11. The Causeway cleanup is done quarterly by members of the "Cumberland Harbour Navy," a loose-knit though not quite rag-tag organization of CH residents, owners and friends, who enjoy boating, socializing and occasional volunteering. (The CH Navy has no dues or titles, save the honorary title of "Commodore" for Bill Bruce, the driving force behind the Navy's volunteer efforts.) Sam Colville organized the Mar. 11 Causeway Cleanup.  Former resident, Don Robertson, in town visiting, also helped out.  (Thanks, Don.)

On Sat., Mar. 19, 14 CH residents, led by Brian Timberlake, pulled on fishing boots and marsh waders to pluck debris out of the marshes and river banks surrounding the Point Peter peninsula. The peninsula is bounded by three waterways: The North River, the St. Marys River, and Point Peter Creek. Volunteers were able to fill the beds of two pickup trucks with trash from the waterways.  This effort by CH residents was part of a larger, region-wide St. Marys River Celebration, held every year in March.

A hearty thank you to Sam, Brian, Bill and all those who participated.

CH Residents clean up Causeway
Cumberland Harbour residents joined together on a sunny but brisk Saturday morning on Nov. 6 to clean up litter on the North River Causeway.  The volunteer litter clean-up occurs every several months with CH residents and owners pitching in.  The effort is coordinated through the City's Public Works Dept., and CH's volunteerism is acknowledged by a sign on the Causeway.  Lunch was provided afterwards by Sam & Peni Colville.

Bernie Huber Resigns from POA Board
It's been an open secret here for awhile, that Bernie Huber has submitted his resignation to the POA Board, apparently effective after tomorrow's board meeting.

Harbour Lights would like to join Cumberland Harbour owners in thanking Bernie - and Mary - for their faithful & valuable service to the Community. Bernie and Mary have selflessly served Cumberland Harbour owners in many ways in their years as residents. Thank you, Bernie & Mary.
The Board is reportedly working behind the scenes to recruit a new board member. One wag has suggested it's harder than originally thought to find someone to do all that Bernie was doing and who would be acceptible to certain members of the Trails Committee, however, Harbour Lights doubts that's the issue. Being on the board involves considerable time & effort, particularly if he or she is the only one on the board who is also a resident.

Harbour Lights wishes the Board well in it's search for a replacement, and would encourage the board to find openings for several residents, so the burden of on-site administration doesn't fall on only one person.

Neighborhood Nights
On Friday nights, weather permitting, there is a casual get-together at 6pm of Cumberland Harbour property owners and their guests at the Pool House. If you’re free and in the mood to drop by for a visit with your neighbors, come join us! Bring your beverages of choice and a snack to share, if you like. It’s very casual and come-as-you-are.
