complete with fertilizer and viability
guarantee.
In compliance with the latest horticulture
information, the plants were grown from
Bogue Banics seed collected last year. The
best results stem from growing from local
seed for local plants.
Mercer will conduct two workshops at a
public beach access to demonstrate proper
planting techniques for the best results. These
workshops will be held during the last two
weeks in May.
If you would like to place an order for sea
oats to help protect your beachfront or for
information on the demonstrations, Mercer
may be reached at 1 -800-331 -7409 from May
1 through the end of the month.
The Community Appearance Commission
will initiate planting the 1500 or so freebie
plants from Mercer, a part of the original deal,
shortly after the first of May.

Thirty Years Ago
May, 1975
“A report of town taxes showed that only 3,16% of property owners have not yet
paid their taxes. That is a good record, 96.84% of our 839 property owners have paid their
taxes.
It has been suggested we tell you where the Town Hall is, since many of our readers
are either new residents or occasional visitors. You’ll find it by turning right off the Salter
Path Road on Bridge Road, just beyond the Pine Knoll Townes condominiums. The Tovvn
Hall is on the left at the far end of the road; it is a small house set far back on the land. The
first annual meeting and luncheon of the Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club was held
Wednesday, April 30, 1975 at II a.m. at the Henderson House, New Bern. Business
meeting with annual reports was held before luncheon; also the new slate of officers for
1975-76 was installed. President, Dortha Hall, Vice President, Vivian Macdonald,
Secretary Irma Brossman, Treasurer, Janet Robbins, Project Chairman Mary Catherine
Smith, received corsages which the outgoing officers had worn as their badges of honor.
Next regular meeting will be held at the home of Vivian Macdonald May 19,1975 (Note
change of meeting time) at 10 a.m. Vi vian will give the program at this meeting: “Bonsai.”
A recent postcard was received by Ken Haller. It read:
“Mon Pere,
The fish stories we are all hearing
Are rapidly growing quite wearing.
The big ones you caught
Were probably bought
And your bluefish all turned to red herring!
An old salt went fishing most days
Catching fish in incredible ways
The fish he was gleaning
Were like ovens - self cleaning
And often he caught just fillets!”
There was no signature, only a surprised looking fish drawing. We suspect son, Hugh
Haller. Ken caught a trout (18"!) right off his own dock.
The ‘sittum’ at Mimosa Beach has been gloriously enlarged and picnic-tabled by a
group of Pine Knoll Association trusty workers. The crew decided to make room for more
chit chat and general activity on the deck overlooking our sea. So - see you at the sittum.”
