Beach Sand Funds Found By Bob Ruggiero After numerous delays and worry that the second phase of the 933 Beach Nourishment project was in jeopardy due to the reluctance of the Federal government to provide peri odic funding to beach communities, the Fed eral funding was finally approved. Phase II of Section 933 should begin Novemberl, 2004 and end by April 30,2005. The Federal appropriation that has been se cured will enable sand dredged from the inner harbor and temporarily stored on Brandt Is land to be placed along Bogue Banks. Mate rial from the Outer Harbor, which is nor mally, placed offshore was placed along the shorelines of Indian Beach, Salter Path and the western tip of Pine Knoll Shores earlier. The Federal government funded 100% of all costs associated with this phase of renourishment. Phase II will complete the sand placement for the remainder of Pine Knoll Shores. The Phase II Pump Out portion of costs for this phase will be shared by the Tug of War Over Water Moves Into New Phase By Dick Reeves With the proposed 36% rate increase, Caro lina Water has shattered a year’s detente and rejoined the eight-year-old battle for control of PKS’s water. Residents turned out en masse for the Oct. 19 Board Of commissioners’ meeting at the Royal Pavilion to hear the commissioners’ answer to the rate increase. Mayor Lamson and the commissioners announced that they had retained Cavanaugh and Associates, PA, to conduct a thorough evaluation of Carolina Water to determine present condition and evaluation of its exist ing drinking water supply, treatment, storage and distribution systems. Said evaluation could then serve as a benchmark for the town to make an offer to buy the system should we wish to do so. Describing the project and answering questions for Cavanaugh were Ray Cox, project manager, Amy Breitenwischer and Slade Harvin, project engineers. The essential elements of the study will include: 1. A mail survey to all residents asking for opinions on water quality, service and other concerns. 2. An engineering evalu ation of the physical facilities. 3. Audits, complaint history, compliance issues, etc., etc. The entire contract will cost $48,000. Questionnaires will be mailed in November, concurrent with engineering studies, and the complete study should be ready before the end of the year. Continued on page 3 Margaret Smith Joins Hospice Reprinted from News-Times Federal government and state and local funds, with the Federal portion at 65% and the rest from state and Pine Knoll Shores sources. Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach have been nourished since 1978 and if you have visited these two areas in the past you can appreciate the excellent quality of sand that will be used for this project. One of the requirements for Federal par ticipation in beach nourishment is that access and parking to the beaches shall be provided to everyone. The Corps of Engineers regula tions stipulate that access shall be located every half mile with adequate parking avail able. Adequate parking has been defined as ten spaces located within a quarter mile of each access. Pine Knoll Shores is responsible for adhering to these regulations because the 933 Project is a Federal cost sharing program. Discussions are ongoing for securing both access and parking at the various locations designated for beach access. r Margaret Smith, registered nurse, has been named volunteer coordinator for Hospice of Carteret County. Mrs. Smith brings many years of service and experience to the program, said Michelle Gregson, a spokesperson for Carteret Gen eral Hospital. Mrs. Smith was instrumental in establish ing the Hospice program and served as an administrator and volunteer since 1981. She also was co-founder of the Festival of Trees program in 1988. Shiron Jones, registered nurse, will main tain her current position as patient care coor dinator while Carol Pittman will serve as the bereavement coordinator. Volunteer opportunities are still available for caring and compassionate people looking for opportunities to help. Volunteer opportunities cover a large vari ety of services including direct patient care, office/clerical support, and fund-raising ef forts.
