Page 4 The Shoreline July 2005 Adopt Budget Continued from page 3 Making the position full-time, he said, would prevent such occurrences. Moreover, he added, the person presently serving on a part-time basis and who would become full time as of July 1 is an articulate and talented employee who has been performing excellently and helps out in many other ways, including as an assistant to the mayor and assisting in writing proposals and applications. The post is held by Anne Blackwell. Ashland again voted with Hunter and Danehy with La Brie, creating a tie in the absence of Commissioner Mary Kanyha. In casting her tie-breaking votes. Mayor Lamson noted that the costs in connection with The Shoreline and the full-time position can be covered because a tight rein is being kept on overall operating expenses, with a three percent reduction realized last year and an additional three percent decrease anticipated this year. She also stressed the need for additional help at Town Hall and what she felt is the importance of communicating with residents through The Shoreline. She maintained that any ineffective method of distributing the newsletter would have a deleterious effect on the willingness of advertisers to support the publication, support that she hopes will grow since the town receives a percentage of advertising revenue. The commissioners also voted unanimously to approve a conditional use ordinance designed to give town officials as much control as possible over community development. Mayor Lamson noted that the community is at the point in time where a lot of redevelopment could be anticipated and that the ordinance would put the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners in a better position to specify conditions for proposed developments. The Board also approved an agreement with Robert Youngblood to cover the cost of gathering and removing debris following storms. Youngblood held a similar agreement with the town last year and the new agreement is being entered into at no increase in costs, which are calculated on an hourly basis. Pine Knoll Association By Marge Green The Pine Knoll Association held their regular monthly meeting on June 13, 2005 in Town Hall at 9:30 a.m. We received some thoughtful input from a citizen who attended the meeting regarding our canal. He was very concerned with the damage done to the canal as a result of the recent heavy rain storms. The ground behind the bulkheads became saturated with water. This produced an increase in pressure on some bulkheads, resuhing in “blow outs”. If immediate repairs are not made, the dirt or silt behind the fractured bulkhead enters the canal. While it might not always be possible for a permanent repair to be made immediately, a temporary fix can be made to stop the leaching of soil into the canal. This influx of soil not only has a detrimental effect on the water depth in the immediate area of the “blow out” but also tends to cause problems further down stream. It seems reasonable that a temporary fix could be accomplished within 48 hours. It has been suggested that we install a “port-a-potty” for Ocean Beach Park for the summer months. There are several items to consider before the Board can approve it, such as cost, location, liability and permits required. There are several instances where two original lots have been legally declared one lot on County Records. Our records have been corrected to conform to the County’s. It was brought to our attention, after the meeting, that visitors should consider having their Pine Knoll Shores telephone number on their dog’s tag. Recently a dog was injured on the beach and there was no local telephone number to call to alert the owner of the dog’s plight. Election Time Coming Ever think of running for public office?

Bounty Continued from page 1 Above the three masts that tower into the sky are the topmasts and staysails that help make her a thrilling sight.

The tour begins on the weather deck, where you are greeted by a crewmember and introduced to the ship, her working parts, and history.
