CIVIL PREPAREDNESS
HURRICANE PROCEDURES FOR THE PINE KNOLL SHORES GENERAL PUBLIC
A general public meeting has been designated for Jione 5, 1988, at 10:00 a.m. in the
Tovm Hall. Residents of Pine Knoll shores are URGED to attend.
Hurricanes are the greatest storms on earth. June through November is the designated
hurricane season. Residents of Pine Knoll Shores should be aware of this destructive
force and BE PREPARED.
The primary purpose of this meeting is to inform the general public what they should
know before - during - and after the HURRICANE.
Please remember - knowing what you are doing could save a life.
DOGWOOD CIRCLE PLANTINGS
The decorative plantings at the east entrance to Dogwood Circle are complete and
many people have remarked about how very attractive they are. Shore Line decided to find
out all about how they came into being.
The Pine Knoll Association ovms that property and Ed Moeller, Director, decided it
should be fixed up. He designed the plantings, presented the project to the PKA Board
which board enthusiastically approved the expenditure.
And so we talked to Ed about it. He said the project took about two weeks in all
to complete. The Conmunity Appearance Conmission had to recoimiend it before the Town
could issue a permit and the PKA architectural control committee also had to approve it.
Once the approvals were obtained it was time to find the workers. That was the easiest
part, Ed says. As a matter of fact people came up to him asking to be able to do some
thing! The space had to be cleared of weeds, the decorative fence installed, and the
area graded. It took a day to put the fences up, two days to do the actual planting.
We can't resist naming the names of such a dedicated bunch. We start with Robert
Youngblood who donated the soil. After that it was: Luke Hargroves, Clyde Lynn, Ed
Olson, Max Hileman, Ken Doremus, Fred Randle, Betty Condra, Maxine Moeller, Lois Jean
O'Keefe, Dick Perkins, Ken Brendstrup, Bill VonThaden, Russ Beard, Jack Minis, and
Bob Hudak putting in the hard work.
This is a project of the Property Owners Association which owns that property and
maintains the ocean front park but it benefits all of us. We are grateful to the
Association and look forward to further projects which Ed tells us are in the works.
In the story last month about the Town History we covered the difficulties in
securing the charter. Does that mean all the creative work was now complete? Of course
not! Now it was time to create a town, and how this was done is told in the chapter
entitled: "The Formative Years, 1973-1975", the 6th chapter of Ken Haller's "Town of
Pine Knoll Shores, 1973-1985".
Here we have a group of people dedicated to the successful formation of the town
but with very little experience in local government to work with. The Roosevelts pro
vided some help. They had established covenants for the Pine Knoll Assocation which
• could be used as a model for some aspects of the Municipal Code formation. They also
presented a gift of $20,000 to be used to finance operations until revenues could be
collected, and 24 acres to be used for the town hall.
