Page 2 The ShoVcHnC December, 2001 Notice to taxpayers The holiday season is upon us. With all the holiday festivities, taxes may become the last thing on your minds. If you have not paid your Town taxes, please do so before Christmas week. January 5''' is the last day to pay taxes without a penalty. Payment before the Holiday Season would be appreciated. Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas. Yours truly, Connie G. Shelton Tax Collector Planning Board The Planning Board after a lengthy review sent a proposed Commercial Property Aesthetics Ordinance to the Board of Commissioners for their consideration. The Planning Board briefly discussed a problem with certain properties in town that do not have a clear entry for emergency vehicle access in case of emergencies. The Planning Board voted in favor of rezoning the former Wachovia Bank property from Commercial to Municipal Service. The issue was then forwarded to the Board of Commissioners for their consideration. There will be a combined meeting of the Planning Board for the months of November and December on Tuesday, December at 3:00 p.m. CAC - Pine Knoll Shores Gets National Recognition Squad #65 Health Tips for a Hangover The ancient Romans prescribed eating fried canaries to cure hangovers. Fortunately - although none has been proven 100 percent effective - there are plenty of modern remedies: > Rehvdrate with water, fruit juices or broth, since many hangover symptoms are a result of dehydration. > Consider taking vitamin B6 or acetaminophen (Tylenol) ibuprofen (Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve). Taken at the time of imbibing, they may have a minor effect in reducing the severity of a hangover. > Warning: Regularly taking acetaminophen (more than four extra-strength tablets daily) if you consume more than two drinks a day may result in liver damage. Trv Fructose, the sugar found in honey and many fruits. Some studies have shown that it accelerates the removal of alcohol from the bloodstream, although other studies have found no effect. > Best Remedv: The only surefire cure for a hangover is not to get one in the first place. Avoid overindulgence, especially of darker drinks such as red wine, bourbon and brandy. They contain congeners, substances that can produce particularly bad hangovers. > Be Smart and Be Safe: At parties, alternate beverages with fruit juices or club soda... add lots of ice to mixed drinks., sip drinks instead of gulping them. Please donj; drink an| drive. Squad 65 welcomes back Andy Smetana, who now has time available and wants to serve his community. Squad 65 responded to 11 medical emergencies, had 70 training hours, 14 members worked 1550 active duty hours. Happy and Healthy Holidays from Squad 65. Submitted By: Maureen Danehy I More Hian One Tree City USA on Barrier Islands In the May/Junc is.suo ! of Arbor Day we did a I story about Ocean City, Maryland, and wondered aloud if this were the only Tree City USA that is also a barrier island. We soon learned it is not. Heard from wore: Stone Harbor, New Jersey; Miami Beach, Florida; Pntrick Air Force Base, Florida; Pino Knoll Shores, North Carolina: and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida. Pine Knoll Sliores, population 1,700, is four miles long and 3/4 mile wide at its widest point. The goal of this Trco City USA is “to preser\'e to the maximum extent possible, tlie maritime forest and shrubbei^ indigenous to the town.” A .strengthened tree ordinance and vigorous tree planting are ways in which this community is fighting back against the ravages of recent hurricanes. And at Capo Canaveral, the folks romiridel u.s that they are probably the only Tree City USA award winner that launches rockets into spacc. We now wonder, where will be the first Tret! City USA in space? From the CAC... Source List for Dune Plants now available at the Town Hall front desk upon request. 5 • ARBOR DAY * Nu^cmhcr/Dcti-mbrr ZOOI
