MAYOR'S COMMENTS by Jim Proctor Merry Christmas!! It seems odd writing about Christmas before Thanksgiving, but with the deadline for this article here, I certainly don't want to miss the chance to wish everyone the happiest holidays possible.
TOWN MANAGER'S REPORT by H.M. "Chuck" Place III, AICP Change at Town Hall Betty Hinson, our long time Personnel Officer and Tax collector will be retiring at the end of February. I initiated an internal search for a qualified replacement before advertising the vacancy and am very pleased to announce that Customer Services Supervisor Anita Taylor, another long time employee, will be promoted to "Personnel Officer in Training" effective January 5. She will take over Betty's full title upon Betty's retirement. Anita has been a town employee 1987 and, in addition to her duties in customer service, is Deputy Town Clerk - a position she will continue to hold. In addition to her great familiarity with the town and town procedures, she has experience with payroll and has taken course work in personnel management and insurance matters. I am also pleased to announce that Linda Ward will take Anita's place as Customer Services Supervisor effective January 5. As Anita's assistant, Linda is quite familiar with the responsibilities of the position and has been performing many of the tasks required by the job so the transition will be very smooth. She has been a town employee since 1995 and Customer Service Clerk since 1999. Even though our town staff is small in numbers, we have been able to attract and retain very qualified, dedicated employees. This makes it much easier to promote from within when the rare vacancy occurs. We will truly miss Betty, but know that both Anita and Linda will do outstanding jobs in their new positions. Tennis Anyone? If you aren't a tennis player or haven't been near town hall recently, you may not have noticed the newly resurfaced tennis courts between town hall and the community center. This has been a long time coming, but other projects always ended up with a higher priority in the budget. This year, however, we got it in - and none too soon, I might add. The surface was becoming so weather cracked that the base material as well as the top coat was deteriorating. The resurfacing will add many years to the life of the courts so come on down and try a set. West Nile in the Mountains? There have been reports of the West Nile virus in North Carolina of late, a potentially serious disease is carried by mosquitos. And why am I talking about mosquitos as we approach winter? Because their eggs can survive the cold, it is just as important to "mosquito proof" your property now as in the spring or summer. Mosquitos lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by getting rid of items that hold water. Even though there are fewer places for water to stand than in the flat lands east of us, you will be amazed at how many flower pots, buckets, old tires and other things that hold water you can find on a quick look-around. Dump 'em out and have a more pleasant summer next year! Notice to Boaters The Lake Lure Hardware store has closed their business. As this was the only location in the immediate area that sold NC boat permits (registration), the town has begun the steps needed to become an authorized outlet for those permits. This will take several months, so in the meantime, permit applicants will have to go to Hendersonville or Spindale/Forest city for their state boat permits. Holiday Greetings: It is the season to celebrate two of the most sacred times in the Judaic and Christian calendars - Hanukkah and Christmas. From all of us here at Town Hall to all of you, our wish for a wonderful and blessed holiday season! And finally, try reading the following - don't look at it, just glance and read: The Phaomnneil Pweor of the Hmuan Mnid.

COMMUNITY POLICING NEWS by Chief Mike Bustle Crime Trends According to FBI statistical analysis of law enforcement agency reports released last Monday, women now make up a more significant number of all those arrested in the United States. This analysis also found that crime overall remained essentially level last year. Men still accounted for the vast majority of adults arrested for criminal activity - about 77 percent of the total. But women are gaining ground, with the 1.9 million arrested in 2002, representing 23 percent. This is a 14 percent increase from 1993, a period during which arrests of men have fallen almost 6 percent. Kenneth Land, a professor of sociology at Duke University, attributed the rise in female arrests to societal changes over the past 30 years. He noted that more women have entered the work force and generally have achieved a status on a par with men. Land stated, "You're more likely to have situations where they can be involved as motivated offenders due to the role changes over the past decades, as compared to men." The FBI's annual crime statistics are drawn from reports to 17,000 city, county and state law enforcement agencies. A stable picture emerges from the 2002 numbers, with no major up-trends in any category, but no major downturns, either. In North Carolina, the number of crimes reported in 2002 fell 2.8 percent, from 404,242 in 2001 to 392,826 last year. Caution: Deer Crossing Roadway We observe and even bump into them more than we used to, so you would think there must be more of them running around. You would be wrong, according to state statistics. Deer were involved last year in more automobile crashes-and a bigger share of all crashes-in North Carolina than ever before. About one of every 16 crashes reported across the state in 2002 involved deer, a record 14,002 out of 221,895 crashes, the UNC Highway Safety Research Center said recently. The portion of crashes involving deer has grown from 4 percent in 1994 and 5.3 percent in 1998 to last year's figure of 6.3 percent. But, the state's deer count has held steady at 1 million to 1.1 million for the past five years, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission related. We are having more run-ins with deer partly because there are more of us driving through their old neighborhoods-through all that countryside fast turning into residential areas. Combine this with increasing numbers of drivers driving increasing numbers of miles, you have drivers crossing paths with the deer more often as the deer migrate around. The number of vehicle miles logged on the state's roadways has grown by more than 20 percent since 1994, and crashes are up by 10 percent. Deer-car crashes have increased during the same period by 75 percent. The UNC center's autumn update is timely because the worst time for deer-car crashes runs from October through January. It's the season when a buck's fancy turns to love-of-doe, and the usual shyness of doe and buck alike turns more and more to reckless dashes over the pavement and through the woods. It is not unusual to have deer simply ignore a police cruiser traveling down our town streets and run into them, causing significant damage. To help us avoid hitting a deer, the UNC center and the Department of Transportation offer common-sense recommendations: -Drive more slowly and alertly, especially in posted areas and during the late evening and near daylight. -Use high beam headlights where you can, and watch for their reflected eyes. Honk your horn when you see them. -Deer often travel in groups. If you see one, expect more. -You don't want to hurt "Bambi" or damage your car, but there may be greater risks in swerving off the roadway and into a ditch or tree. Many times, people attempt to avoid hitting deer and that is what gets motorists into trouble. A deer is normally extremely fast. There is no way a motorist can react faster than a deer can run. To avoid hitting them, we must slow down and watch for them carefully! Local Crime Reports On Sunday, October 19, 2003, one of our local neighbors, Barbara Marsh of 201 Havners Point, Lake Lure, reported the theft of an antique bell and a large antique boat anchor from her front yard. The theft allegedly occurred sometime between October 18th and 19th, 2003. Several reported investigative leads have been explored to date with little positive results. If anyone noted anything suspicious in this area during this period, please contact Chief Bustle of the Lake Lure Police Department at 828-625-4685.
by Charlie Greeson, Pro Shop Clerk We got limed again. When we did it last year, it was the first time in...well, no one remembers. Maybe it was the first time. Anyway, the results were so spectacular, we're doing it again. Our turf quality continues to improve and it shows. Speaking of improving turf quality, we did some things that are somewhat unpopular with a few of our golfers, but real important for that turf improvement I'm talking about and we continually work for. We cut down a few select trees. One of the first to go was the ornamental cherry tree next to the practice green. It had some kind of bad disease infecting it and had to go. We also cut down two of the three maples between the #7 green and the #3 white tee box. The leaves were one factor we wanted to mitigate but near insignificant compared to the other factors. One is, it's hard to grow grass in the shade. The worst factor was the roots. In periods of dry weather, the greens get watered whether or not any other areas do. Those maple roots seek out that water and grow to it. They went so far as to get to the green. One had broken the surface inside the collar and when Chris mowed over it, it broke a bed knife on one of our mowers. One tree came down that we didn't cut. It was one of our largest pines on the property. High winds in late October were responsible for that as well as numerous branches being blown off the other trees on and around the course. Other trees over the last 3 years have been removed because they were damaged in storms, diseased, or needed removing for mowing and other course maintenance purposes. We thought it would be a good idea to tell you about these things we do so all can understand through education some of the difficulties we encounter and know that actions are not taken on a whim or without consideration. Remember that Steiner I was telling y'all about earlier? That turned out to be a great trade. With the new mower we've been able to mow some banks that we previously had to cut with a weed eater. With the Steiner's low center of gravity and its 4x4 capability, we're getting neater and trimmer all the time. Chris has a new project underway along the fairway at #6. It's a wall (of sorts). Many a golfer (including self) has lamented "going down below" on this hole. Unless you're a right hander that can hit a slight draw or a left hander that can hit a slight fade, you may be going down under. Down under the cross ties that is. That's because everything goes to the right on this hole. Everything. Before we had that paving done it was possible to stay on top by bouncing off the cross ties. The pavement comes up too high on the cross ties now and the balls often go right on over and down the hill. Help is on the way folks. Most of the sections of low wall have been constructed already and will be erected as time and weather permit. They might even be up by the time this article goes to press. Y'all come on out and see if you can keep it on top. With December comes the winter rates. They are: Mon-Thurs. Cart Greens Total 9 Holes $6.50 $7.00 $13.50 18 Holes $7.50 $8.00 $15.50 Fri-Sun. 9 Holes $7.50 $8.00 $15.50 18 Holes $10.65 $10.00 $20.65 Seniors 55+ Mon-Thurs. 9 Holes $6.50 $6.00 $12.50 18 Holes $6.50 $7.00 $13.50 Seniors All Day $8.50 $8.00 $16.50 Another cool December thing is the 20% off sale on all putters in stock. We have a good selection of both left handed and right handed putters ranging in price from $20.00 to $59.00. Give Santa a hand with a shot saving gift to your favorite golfer. The last and best part of December is the entire staff here at the golf course gets to wish for you and yours the merriest of holiday seasons and hopes for a prosperous and low scoring new year. May you all be blessed with one putts; may your balls be acquainted with only fairways and greens, and hopefully you've been good enough so that Santa will scoot down the chimney at your house and put something other than coal in your sock.
PROTECTION PROGRAM by Clint Calhoun, Erosion Control Specialist Last month I talked about what a healthy stream should look like. This month I am going to have you use your imagination again and picture what an unhealthy stream might look like. The typical response might consist of things like litter along the stream banks or in the stream, lots of sedimentation, old tires in the water, cows in the stream, the water is discolored, etc. All of these answers would be correct. Let's take it another step. Imagine that you have a stream running through your yard (many of you already do). What does your stream look like? Do you see a lot of the things mentioned above or is your stream healthy? Before you answer that question, bear in mind what a healthy stream should look like: clear water, a well established riparian buffer, large and small rocks, very little sand or silt, fast and slow-moving stretches of water, natural debris such as branches and leaf material, and lots of aquatic organisms. Do you still think your stream is healthy? What I am about to describe is a common misconception that people have about stream appearance. If you drive through this watershed, many river front or creek front properties offer a clear view of the river. The property owners' yards are nicely manicured (most of the time) with lots of nice ornamental plantings. The stream bank is neatly mowed and manicured right to the edge of the water. It is very visually appealing and offers the views that people will pay for since real estate is such a big business in our area. Here's the problem with visual appeal. It is almost always detrimental to stream health. First of all, the riparian buffer is gone. There is no filtering system for storm water. Because of this, water temperatures are almost always too high to support trout spawning activities. Almost always you see the riparian buffer replaced with non-native ornamentals and grass. Most yards are planted with turf grass species or fescue, most of which are very shallow rooted. When this is planted along a stream bank and mowed regularly, the constant pressure from the mower and lack of substantial root systems will cause the banks to crumble, leading to the loss of yard and property, as well as contributing to sedimentation. The use of non-native ornamental species also cause problems. Many of these do nothing to prevent erosion and their seeds get dispersed throughout the watershed and can present problems for our native vegetation and can actually cause changes in the stability of established riparian buffers. All of these things also contribute to stream widening and re-channeling. In many of these situations where re-channeling has occurred, the stream current is concentrated along the stream banks where the water is constantly moving material. Ideally, stream current should be concentrated to the middle of the stream where no damage can occur, but when banks begin to erode and silt and sand settle into the main channel, the current gets moved towards the banks where it begins to do damage. So you see, even the most beautiful and neatly manicured streams can contribute to water quality problems. Very often we do things with good intentions in hopes of improving the visual aesthetic, but very often we are taking away what Mother Nature intended to be there. Streams can't survive without riparian buffers and unfortunately, these buffers are leading to heated discussions related to zoning and other legislation throughout our state. Get all the facts about riparian buffers so that you can make the right decisions regarding water quality in your back yard (or front yard). The Upper Broad River Watershed Protection Program was put together with the sole purpose of protecting soil and water resources in our watershed. The program is designed to provide landowners with technical assistance and advice that is free and non-regulatory. We also offer financial incentives for landowners interested in fixing existing erosion problems. We are also interested in preserving riparian areas in order to protect water quality. If you would like to know what you can do to help improve water quality in the Upper Broad River Watershed, please contact me at (828)625-9983, ext. 123.
MAINTAINING A HEALTHY LAKE by Russ Pitts Did you know that a lake is in many ways like a human body? Let me give you some examples. An unattended lake has a life expectancy similar to a human life (according to the Corps of Engineers). A human body requires constant diet and exercise to help keep our arteries clean. A lake requires constant silt maintenance and removal activities to keep its waters from becoming a silted marshland. The waters of Lake Lure are unique in many ways, especially with the beauty of the surrounding mountains. These same mountains also pose a constant threat to the continued life of the lake. Every year, several thousand cubic yards of silt flow into the lake. This large number is due to the fact that waters of Lake Lure are located at the bottom of a very large mountainous watershed. The steepness of this watershed causes the waters to erode the very mountains we love. Any disturbances to the land, especially those next to the lake and tributary streams greatly accelerate the erosion-generated sediments filling the lake. Dr. Morse had the foresight to address this challenge when the lake was originally built, and actively encouraged the surrounding landowners to be sensitive as to how they disturbed the land. There are many areas around the entire lake that are experiencing silting, but none compares with the headwaters of the lake. It's a hard thing to see this silting occur unless you happen to have a depth gauge on your boat, and are constantly monitoring the changes. Fortunate for you we have a town council, town manager, lake advisory committee, and town volunteers who have been watching this for you. This is not something new. It's something that we have had to deal with since the gates on the dam were initially closed. Did you know that we have historically had to dramatically lower the waters of Lake Lure approximately every ten years to allow excavation of the headwater areas of the lake? This is an extremely expensive task. For example, the last major excavation occurred in 1997 after the flood of '96. This particular excavation process cost well over a million dollars. Taking into account the historical trends, we are only four years away from when we might have to perform this again (actual time depends on the storms and amount of erosion). Right now, we have a silt plume extending a quarter of a mile from the headwaters of the lake out into the main channel of the lake. This silt plume has reduced the depth of some waters from 20 feet to 10 feet in depth since the last excavation in 1997. In response to this silt challenge, our current town leadership is taking a more comprehensive approach to addressing silting of the lake. This expanded approach does not eliminate the eventual need to perform costly excavations, but rather extends the period between excavations. The town plans to employ a self-funding concept wherever possible to minimize cost to tax payers. The new approach is based on addressing the challenge from four perspectives, which are: 1. Preventive Sediment Containment - Prevent & capture pre-stream entry 2. Passive Silt Capture - Capture before entering main lake body without dredging 3. Active Silt Capture - Creation and maintenance of silt capture beds with ongoing dredging 4. Excavation - Lowering of lake and removal of silt through mechanical means. The main thing for you to know is that all four perspectives are necessary to create an effective, ongoing solution to our silt challenge. The town leadership is actively moving on all four perspectives, which includes the creation of a lake silt management and removal strategy. The following outlines a few of these activities currently occurring: Preventive Sediment Containment - Town partnership/support with the Upper Broad River Watershed Protection Program (Currently headed by Clint Calhoun) Passive Silt Capture - Reviewing and pricing new passive capture technologies Active Silt Capture - Repair and updating of the town owned dredge (Includes silencing package), as well as preparing/training staffing resources Excavation - Commitment to set aside funds on an annual basis for future expenditure In addition, meetings are being established with local businesses that might be interested in purchasing the captured silt/aggregates to offset the ongoing costs of silt management and removal. Please notify me if you aware of any local companies that might be interested in acquiring the sand/aggregates we produce. The self-funding concept depends on establishing long-term relationships/partnerships with local business. In closing, I want to encourage you to support the town leadership in their demonstrated commitment to protect our town's most valuable asset - the lake. Our lake is something worth preserving, and it will require all of us working together to achieve this community wide goal. Russ can be reached at 828-625-1840 if you have any questions or concerns.
LAKE LURE YOUTH CENTER'S HAPPENINGS by The Kids At The Lake Lure Youth Center We would like to thank Steve Saucier from Kids Sense Museum on Main Street in Rutherfordton.
