President’s Corner
I moved to Lake Gaston in 2008. My wife and I chose this
area for its clean air, clean and abundant water, rural atmosphere,
and numerous recreational opportunities. We did not come here
for the symphony, museums, high taxes, or urban high-rise
apartments. We have not been disappointed.
This area has great water related activities. People fish,
boat, swim, etc. We have nearby hiking, camping, biking,
hunting and other outdoor recreational activities. We do not have
congestion, traffic jams, or crowds.
That is my reason, what is yours? If your reason for being
here isn’t close, you are probably at the wrong place. If you want
to walk to the store, choose different night clubs each evening,
know 2 of your 2,000 neighbors, you are probably in the wrong
place. If you expect a policeman on each corner to help prevent
theft and killings, you are probably in the wrong place. If you
want or need medical facilities to be within 5 minutes, you are
probably in the wrong place.
Now that those two people identified themselves as being
out of place and stopped reading to call their real estate agent and
move, we can talk. The LGA is here to preserve and protect what
you want this area to be. This is a great neighborhood. It will
continue to be a great neighborhood if we work to keep it so.
The LGA is your spokesman and focal point to preserve
the area. We don’t want to close and isolate the lake nor do we
want to make it another Baltimore. We want intelligent growth
and reasonable regulation. We want to maintain water and air
quality. We want to live and enjoy the environment.
Join us, be involved, protect and defend our community.
Help the LGA continue to be the lake lobbying organization and
the spokesman for lake residents.

LAKE GASTON ASSOCIATION BULLETIN
Environment Committee up date
The Environment Committee has had a busy year so far and our work continues. As you will read in a separate
article in this Bulletin, our Annual Fall Aquatic Plant Survey is well underway and should be completed by the end of
October. We hope to duplicate last year’s effort by surveying all 405 miles of Lake Gaston’s shoreline. If you haven’t
signed up to do an area yet, there is still time. Contact Bruce Johnson by email at [email protected] or by phone
at (252) 535-7878 to join in the fun.
Thanks to the dedication and follow up of Committee Member Ron George, we have stemmed the runoff problem
in Poplar Creek caused by a tobacco farmer. With state intervention, a natural barrier between the farm and the creek has
been planted and the farmer has been convinced to plant soybeans instead of tobacco going forward. Likewise, thanks to
Committee Member George Kimble, the runoff issue caused by the Motocross Track on Hwy. 903 has been solved with
the closing of the track and the re-growth of a natural plant barrier along the creek’s edge. As always, the Committee
solicits member input on other such issues that we may not be aware of. Contact us at [email protected]
with those issues.
During our most recent LGA member survey conducted earlier this year, you told us that your number one and
number three concerns were water quality and weed control respectively. Both are Lake Environment Committee issues.
While for the most part, Lake Gaston is one of the cleanest lakes in the state, we share your concern that it is
subject to pollution from a variety of sources. One concern of the Committee is that with the number of septic systems
surrounding our lake, and especially our coves and creeks, seepage may be an issue that is not well documented. We plan
to purchase a number of ecoli test kits early next year that will be made available to residents to test the water in their
coves and creeks. We will also provide training on how to use the kits and report the results. We also suggest that property
owners regularly have their septic systems checked and pumped out. Every three years is recommended.
As for weed control, our efforts to support the Lake Gaston Weed Control Council are well documented. We will
continue to support re-vegetation efforts and complete our annual aquatic plant survey. In addition, we will continue to
emphasize the value of our lake properties to our county governments and the need to preserve that value through
contributions to weed control funding. Weed control is always a priority topic during our Annual Five-County Forum and
in our annual budget consideration letters to each of the Boards. Members are encouraged to support this effort by
corresponding with their Commissioners/Supervisors and expressing their support for full funding.
As fall rapidly approaches, there is one last area where members can help both our water quality and weed control
efforts. While Mother Nature will doubtless put a quantity of leaves in our lake and its coves, property owners are asked
not to supplement her efforts by blowing their leaves and grass clippings into the lake. First, when this debris eventually
rots, it will become sediment and could eventually fill in a shallow cove. Second, the nutrients in the debris help to feed
aquatic plants, especially hydrilla and the algae Lyngbya. This black slimy and smelly algae is a skin irritant and is
becoming an increasing problem in our lake. To date there is no identified treatment. Additionally, as you make plans to
do your fall fertilizing, we suggest you omit your waterfront lawns that don’t have natural barriers to prevent runoff, or
use an all natural fertilizer. This will also help keep unwanted nutrients out of the water.
Monthly Environment meetings are held the third Wednesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. at the Eaton’s Ferry
Grocery and Grill on Hwy 903 south of the lake. Everyone is invited to participate.

Government Relations Update
The committee is closely following the Virginia uranium mining issue and is working on the recent proliferation
of signs in Warren County through the Planning Board and the Citizens Advisory Council. The Committee is also
analyzing the results of the 2012 LGA Survey to determine priorities for the coming year.
Monthly Government Relations Committee meetings are held the third Monday of the month at 8:30 a.m. at the
Eaton Ferry Grocery & Grill on Route 903 south of the lake. Everyone is invited to participate.

Attention Ferncliff, Laura Woods, & Timbuctu members
Your 2013 dues will be coming to us via your Home Owner Association Treasurer
You will not be receiving renewal notices from us.
Page 3
2013 Membership Drives are underway
Our 2013 Membership drive started on September 1 with our first two new members signing up at the LittletonLake Gaston Festival at the LGA booth. We also had one current member who renewed for 2013 that day. During early
September our mass mailing went out to property owners on Lake Gaston in Brunswick, Halifax, Mecklenburg,
Northampton & Warren counties inviting them to join the LGA.
By the time you read the October/November 2012 Bulletin, your neighbors who are not LGA members should
have received our letter asking them to join. Please help us by encouraging them to join and letting them know why you
support us by being a member. Thank you.
A similar membership drive is underway to bring in new businesses to the LGA where members of our Marketing
& Membership Committee visit local Lake Gaston businesses and ask them to join us. New Household members &
Businesses joining the LGA from September 1st onwards, get the rest of this year through the following year.
Our membership year runs from January 1st thru December 31st; renewal notices are sent out during the beginning
of October; reminder notices the first week of January; and members whose dues are still outstanding do not receive their
February/March Bulletin until they renew. In February those members still outstanding are called by LGA directors to
ascertain if they really didn’t want to renew, and that’s O.K., but in the majority of cases our members forgot & welcomed
the reminder; or there had been a death; they were moving; or phone was not in service. In the past several years we have
had a 10 per cent loss of members each year.
This October we will be mailing 1,315 renewal notices to Households & Businesses. We send them out in
October to avoid the busy upcoming holiday season. We are generally down to the last four hundred when the reminders
go out in January.
If you have some spare time on your hands and you would like to join the Marketing & Membership Committee
we would love to have you. Sit in on one of Committee meetings and get an idea of what we are working on. You can do
that with any of the LGA committees. Look at the Committee grid for meeting days and times. “Try before you decide.”
Come support us at the 16th Annual Taste of Brunswick Festival on Saturday, October 13, at the Southside
Virginia Community College, Christanna Campus, Alberta, VA 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., the LGA booth will be the place to be!
Monthly Marketing & Membership Committee meetings are held the third Thursday of the month at 8:30 a.m. at
the Eaton Ferry Grocery & Grill on Route 903 south of the lake. You don’t have to be a Marketing guru, just someone
who wants to help and has about 5-10 hours a month to spare.
October 3, 2012 - LGA monthly meeting
9:30 a.m. at the Lake Gaston Baptist Church (1 mile north of Eaton Ferry Bridge on Hwy 903)
Guest Speaker: John Campbell, Chairman of the Board for WasteZero, Inc.
Topic: WasteZero has been partnering with municipalities for over 20 years, delivering the most effective waste
reduction programs in the United States. WasteZero Trash Metering™ programs save money, increase recycling, and
reduce waste being sent to landfills … more than 44% annually. Today more than 850 communities have diverted more
than 3 million tons of waste and saved $200 million in costs with WasteZero solutions. WasteZero has recently moved its
corporate headquarters to Raleigh, NC and has offices in Chicago, Cambridge, MA and South Carolina. Mr. Campbell has
a home on Lake Gaston in Littleton, NC.
Also: Got a lake-related issue or concern that the LGA should be working on? There will be time allotted on the agenda to
present those concerns to the LGA Board. And, catch up with what the Committees are working on.
The meeting is open to the public, members and non-members alike so gather up your neighbors and come join
the LGA for an informative meeting. For more information contact [email protected] or call (252) 586-6577 or
toll free 1-888-586-6577.
Make a date to join us on October 3

Volunteer Survey is underway – more volunteers needed
Our Volunteer Aquatic Plant Survey is well underway and we hope to cover the entire lake shoreline (405 miles)
again this year. However, there are still several areas to be surveyed that haven’t been spoken for yet. These include the
area from Eaton Ferry Bridge east along the north shore to Lizard Creek, and most areas from the Bridge west along both
the north and south shorelines. If you have some time to spend on the water, we could use your help, particularly in those
areas. Contact Bruce Johnson by email at [email protected] or (252) 535-7878.
Bruce will provide individual training for volunteers and has all the equipment you will need to complete the
work. One or two leisurely afternoons is about all you will need to complete an area. If you are a new volunteer, you will
also receive an Aquatic Weeds Pocket Identification Guide, a $15 value. The Guide has pictures and descriptions of all the
plants you will find in Lake Gaston. We intend to finish the survey by the end of October.
Some interesting notes from the survey so far:
 Our earliest documented Lake Gaston non-native invasive plant – Brazilian Elodea – is alive and well especially
west of the I-85 Bridge. Bruce reports “It completely covers the littoral zone, and is so thick that turtles “haul out”
on it to sun themselves and hydrilla “struggles” to find the “light of day”. Remember several years ago Dominion
drew down the lake to treat Brazilian Elodea and it was significantly reduced but was rapidly replaced by
Hydrilla. Some Elodea can still be found in other parts of the lake so keep an eye out for it on your rake samples.
 So far, Lyngbya has been documented in several areas including 14 rake samples in Poe Creek. See the
Environment Update in this Bulletin for more on this nasty plant.
 It appears that hydrilla returned with a vengeance this year in areas publicly treated with Fluridone last year.
More evidence that consecutive year treatments are needed to reduce the tuber banks and stall re-growth.
 If you see a bright red plant growing along the banks, it is Cardinal Flower.
This is a great time to be out on the lake. The weather is pleasant and interference from other boaters is minimal.
Wildlife is abundant, including Osprey, Bald Eagles, Otters and an occasional family of deer. Take a camera along with
your survey gear and snap some pictures.
Neighborhood Watch – Looking out for your neighbors
Another busy year at the lake just about over. Caution! Those who might wish to do us harm are still around, and
criminals will still be criminals even in the winter. Now that the week-enders are making fewer trips is a good time for
HOAs to tighten up their watch procedures and make special efforts to insure that all homes avoid that abandoned look.
Notice I said “all”.
In our recent 2012 Opinion Survey, the results to the question “Does your sub-division or community have a
Neighborhood Watch Program?” 60% said their sub-division or community did not have a Neighborhood Watch
Program and 61% said they were not aware that the LGA will provide Neighborhood Watch training. This is to be an area
of emphasis for the Public Safety Committee in the coming months. Some proactive suggestions for you to consider for
your neighborhood.
Just as one house in a neighborhood with a broken window can make the whole area look run down, so can one
house with an overgrown yard or phonebooks stacked on the front porch, make a subdivision look ripe for picking for
burglars. So, get your HOA board together, divide up the empty houses. Make sure that every empty house has someone
looking out for it. Inform the owners who their “angel” is and hopefully they will form a relationship.
Putting some lights on timers and parking a car (even an old one) in the driveway is good practice. The “angels”
should check the outside (all sides) frequently, and pick up things that would give the impression that the owners are
away. This is not hard. I look after three homes. I give them an e-mail after storms, letting them know of any damage, or
that there was no damage.
When there is somebody at the house that I don’t recognize, I walk over and say hello. If they don’t introduce
themselves, I politely ask them who they are. I have not had to call the sheriff yet, but would do so if I was not satisfied
that the visitors were legit. These things are all little things that may not prevent the next burglary in your subdivision.
But, then again it just might.
Want to look into starting a Neighborhood Watch program? Need help selling the idea to your neighbors? Email
us at the address below, or contact the office at (252) 586-6577 or 1-888-586-6577 and we will help you get started.
The Public Safety Committee meets the second Friday at 8:30 AM at the Eaton Ferry Grocery & Grill. The public
is invited to attend.

Third Annual Lake Clean-up Event scheduled for June 1, 2013
Mark your calendars and plan now to be at the lake and participate in the LGA’s Third Annual “Take Pride in
Lake Gaston” lake wide Lake Clean-up Day on Saturday, June 1, 2013.
After a busy Memorial Day holiday weekend, we expect that there will be plenty of trash to collect from our Lake
Gaston shorelines. We will need everyone’s help in getting the lake ready for the remainder of the summer season.
Your Lake Clean-Up Committee is in the planning stages now to make this the largest event ever and we need
your help. Encourage your subdivision leadership to participate by signing up to clean up your area shoreline and roads.
Last year we had 32 subdivisions sign up, and we would like to expand that number to cover more of the lake next year. If
you are not in a subdivision, gather your neighbors together and plan to clean up your area shorelines and roads.
We would also like to encourage lake organizations to be involved. Islands where folks congregate and
bridge/tunnel areas in particular are areas that an organization could sign up to clean up.
Let us know your plans to participate as soon as possible, and we encourage you to be part of the planning process
and provide your suggestions and ideas by email at [email protected] or come join us at our monthly
planning meetings.
Monthly Lake Cleanup Committee meetings are held the last Wednesday of the month at 10:30 a.m. at the Eaton
Ferry Grocery & Grill on Route 903 south of the lake. Everyone is invited to participate.
Contact them at [email protected].
From the desk of the Executive Director
I sound like a broken record when I start my article with woes of how the time is going by so fast. I know I can’t
do anything about it, but can you believe holiday preparations are around the corner? I do love the fall season at Lake
Gaston. I’m told that with the rain we’ve had this year, it will make the foliage really colorful – get those cameras out.
Imagine fall sunsets on the lake with a beautiful backdrop of autumn leaves. Can’t wait.
In September I did assume chairmanship of the Marketing & Membership Committee. I’ve always been on that
committee because I do manage the membership database, the mechanics of the membership drives, the renewal process,
and the new member welcome letters. Generally we would have a LGA director as chair but after Bill LaMonte moved to
South Carolina, Doug Hughes assumed the chair in the interim, and until we have another LGA director to step in, it made
sense for me to chair the committee in the meantime.
Of our total membership of 1,499, renewal notices will be going to 1,315 households and businesses at the
beginning of October for their 2013 dues. The renewal notices will be going out by U.S. mail. Not all our members have
email. You may ask why we don’t email renewal notices to those that do, it’s a good question.
As you know, each renewal notice contains information from the member’s database record which is unique to
that member. The information is an opportunity to let us know of changes to their membership record. The form is
returned with payment & any changes noted thereon. The form and check go for data entry and the membership record is
updated. We are mindful to keep our member’s database information confidential to us. The process we use is working for
us. The generation of the renewal notices is an effortless Word mail merge with the database records, one document
results with all the renewal notices in it that is emailed to C-Line Graphics for printing & mailing in window envelopes.
In future years we may be able to electronically send our renewal notices, that possibility we do need to
investigate. Our concerns are keeping the data secure; maintaining the confidentiality of the email addresses; maintaining
the process of data entry; not causing our members extra work by making it easier for us; whatever software is needed to
generate individual electronic renewal notices needs to work with our Access database & has to be less than our current
costs for paper, printing & postage.
Happy Thanksgiving!! If you are traveling, please be safe.

LGA NEEDS YOU!
Your Lake Gaston Association is in need of directors. To insure that the LGA’s work continues to
preserve the quality of life that brought us to beautiful Lake Gaston, we need your expertise. Directors are
currently needed in Brunswick, Halifax, Mecklenburg, and Warren counties. Contact Nomination chair
Clarence Drumgoole at (252) 533-2929 or email, [email protected] .

A message from the LGA Nominating Committee
Congratulations! Al Potter for being elected President of the LGA. We look forward to working with him in the
coming days and years.
The Nominating Committee is currently looking for individuals to fill several positions and the position of VicePresident is open. The work of the LGA is carried out by a 25-member volunteer Board of Directors.
We currently have no Director to represent Halifax County. Warren County has 3 Directors, Northampton 5,
Brunswick County, VA 3 and Mecklenburg, VA 1. We are reaching out to the membership to fill these positions.
I became a member of the LGA through an invitation. Being involved in the community and wanting what is best,
caused me to attend county government meetings. If we are to maintain what we have within our community, we must
become involved. One voice does make a difference.
What does it take to be a Director? (8-10 hrs. per month), I will not use the word easy, but I will say, dedication,
determination and a made up mind that I want to make my community the best, safest place to live. You are welcome to
sit in on any of our committee meetings and decide what is best for you. Join us the first (1) Wednesday of each month,
(Lake Gaston Baptist Church, (across from Subway), to see what is being done and what can be done.
If you would like more information you can contact Clarence M. Drumgoole, Chair of the Nominating Committee
at (252) 533-2929 or email, [email protected] .
LGA & John 3:16 Center's 2012 Toy Drive
The Lake Gaston Association will again join The John 3:16 Center in their Annual Toy Collection Drive in support of
their Christmas Outreach program to provide gifts for approximately 160 local children.
Collection boxes will be placed in several businesses around the area, Lake Area ... Healing Kneads (Stanley Rd,
Henrico): Lake Gaston Gazette-Observer (River Rd); Ace Hardware Store Lake Gaston (Elams Rd); BB&T (Food Lion
shopping center); Subway Lake Gaston (across from Lake Gaston Baptist Church); The Pointe (Morningstar Marina);
Betty Lou’s Hair Salon (Gasburg); Littleton .... W.C. Billy Jones Memorial Library (Town Center complex Hwy 158); &
BB&T.
The Toy Drive will conclude at our December 5 LGA monthly meeting at the Lake Gaston Baptist Church where toy
collection boxes will be available between 9:30 a.m. and noon. Wrapping will begin at the Center December 17th21st.The Center asks that all gifts be new and unwrapped. They do not distribute any toy weapons of any kind.
Gender-neutral gifts are always good: puzzles (under 500 pieces), books, board games, coloring books, baby's toys,
etc. They have had children registered from 1 month old to 16 years old. Every child gets a book, so appropriate books for
different age levels (books boys may enjoy are often hardest to find) will be appreciated. Balls, dolls (ethnically diverse),
art supplies, craft/model kits, small handheld electronic games, toy cars and trucks, watches or inexpensive jewelry for
older children, etc. also are typical of the types of gifts given in the past.
John 3:16 recommends that we limit the cost of any gifts to under $15 & that most of the items listed can be found for
$10 or less.
If you would like to send a tax deductible donation instead, please make checks payable to The John 3:16 Center,
Memo: Christmas Toy Drive and mail to The John 3:16 Center, P.O. Box 1541, Littleton, NC 27850. These donations
help with the cost of purchasing clothing for each child.
Your help in bringing a smile to a child’s face Christmas morning will be sincerely appreciated. For more
information, call the LGA Office at (252) 586-6577, or The John 3:16 Center at (252) 586-1800.
