Let’s talk about Hydrilla. Remember that the best we are going to do
is control it. Hydrilla that does not keep us from enjoying the lake is not a
priority. There are over 7,000 acres of Lake Gaston that has had Hydrilla
growing in it to some extent. Last year the Lake Gaston Weed Control
Council treated 1,500 acres this year they planned to treat 1,900 acres. You
can see that not every cove will be treated every year and depending on water
depth and prevalent current, some coves may never be treated. Maybe once
every 3 or 4 years. Who controls which coves get treated? The Lake Gaston
Weed Control Council is responsible but the plan is put together by the
applicator that has the current contract with the limited input of the Technical
Advisory Group (TAG) - a group of technically smart people that was put
together by the Lake Gaston Stakeholders Board.
So, what can you do? Do what most sub-divisions are doing, pay for
private treatment. This will help (a little bit) the overall effort for the whole
lake. I have talked about this before, but still am surprised when subdivisions tell me that they don’t help themselves, just wait for public (read
“tax money”) treatment. Come on guys, Hydrilla is our problem, not the tax
payers in California.
The Lake Gaston Weed Control Council has done a good job getting
money from local, state and federal sources. Federal money comes from
“earmarks” and that is probably going to dry up regardless of which party
gets in. So unless you are willing to pay more taxes, I don’t see us getting
much more money than we are getting now. That means that treatment will
continue to rotate around the lake. It is a zero sum game. That means that if
one area gets treatment more often, another gets treatment less often.
While we are on Hydrilla, The LGA has volunteered to collect
information on the amount of private treatment that is occurring here at the
lake. If your sub-division had private contractors treat your shoreline this
year, please call us at our toll-free number (1-888-586-6577 or (252) 5866577) or [email protected]) and tell us—Your name, phone number,
sub-division, date of treatments, and latitude and longitude (from GPS) of
start and stop points.
The elections are coming. It is sad that this nation, one that sets the
standard for democracy, responds so poorly when it is time to exercise our
responsibility for casting our votes. Your vote does count. People that lived
in the American Colonies in the 1770s were willing to die to get the vote.
Millions of people in the world today are willing to die to get the vote. Many
of our countrymen won’t go to the polls if it rains, or the surf is up. Please
get out there and vote.

Update on Warren County Revaluation
If your property is in Warren County, you may or not be aware that Warren County is currently going through
the revaluation process. The last time revaluation occurred in the county was 2001.
Property in Warren County has been visited by the appraisal company. The County Assessor, on September 8,
submitted the proposed true value and present-use schedules, standards, and rules for the 2009 County wide
reappraisal to the Warren County Board of Commissioners. This document can be viewed at the office of the County
Assessor at 548 West Ridgeway Street, Warrenton, or on their website at
www.warrencountync.com/_fileuploads/forms/WarrenCounty2009TaxManual.pdf . (Note: the Table of Contents is a
separate document www.warrencountync.com/_fileuploads/forms/TaxManualTableofContents.pdf
County taxpayers had the opportunity to attend a Public Hearing of the proposed schedules, etc. on September
23 at 5 p.m., it will be adopted at the regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting on October 6 at 10 a.m.
(unless something happened at the PH to change this plan). Apparently, the proposed schedules, etc., have to be in
place by November 7.
Assessment notices will be mailed by the end of the year/early January which will show the dollar amount on
which you will be charged property tax. The Assessment Notice will be accompanied by a do-it-yourself appeals form
(this is new for Warren County). This form will kick-off the appeals process if you disagree with the assessment. It
will be received by the County Tax Administrator’s office and given to the Appraisal Company for an onsite visit.
Next level of appeal will be the Warren County Board of Equalization and Review, and ultimately the Property Tax
Commission in Raleigh.
In late June 2009 or no later than the first Warren County Commissioners meeting in July, the tax rate will be
set for Fiscal Year 2009-2010. We should expect to see our tax bill towards the end of July 2009 with a due date of
September 1, 2009 and interest will start on January 5, 2010.
We will do our best to keep you posted of any changes to the above schedule and any county meeting agendas
where this topic will be discussed.
(Editor’s note: I wrote this article September 18th and printing occurred before the Public Hearing – those of
you with email will know the outcome by now. M.)
Lake Environment Monitors Gather Aquatic Vegetation for Survey
Volunteers to perform vegetation sampling around the lake were trained by a team from NC State University
on 1 August. Overall there are about 20 volunteers this year compared to 10 last year. The overall objective was
stated as having the whole lake shoreline sampled, but this will be limited by the number of volunteers and the time
they are willing to spend.
Bruce Johnson, one of our members and a participant and the leader of last year’s plant survey, discussed the
aquatic plant sampling program performed last year under the sponsorship of NC State University (NCSU) and the
expanded effort that we hope to accomplish this year. Bruce has the supply of computers with GPS features that are
used in the sampling to record data. The program implemented this year is far easier to employ than that of last year.
Bruce and Fred Kneissel have performed samplings on five different areas so far this year and their significant efforts
are greatly appreciated.
Bruce has also worked with NCSU on the data transfer issues from the recordings made by volunteers to the
plotting of the data on maps at NCSU. Their goal is to do an update once a week of a “whole lake” survey to post on
the web. At the end of the season, they will make more detailed maps of the different parts of the lake. The target is
to complete mapping vegetation around the lake by the end of end of October and then when the hydrilla starts to mat
and float away, we hope to track the floating mats to establish where turions might propagate more hydrilla plants
next year.
Lake Environment Monitor (LEM) County Captains were identified: John Cataldo in Brunswick, Tom
Winebrenner in Halifax, Bill Lindenmuth in Mecklenburg, Bruce Johnson in Northampton and George Kimble in
Warren County. If you are interested in additional information or participating as a volunteer to collect vegetation
samples please contact [email protected] or [email protected]

The LGA Working for You …
Not all our members have email, use the internet, or take the local Lake Gaston area newspapers, so we are taking the
opportunity to share with you some important LGA activities that have occurred and were reported in Moira’s monthly column that
appeared in August 27 editions of the Brunswick Times Gazette, Lake Gaston Gazette, Littleton Observer, Mecklenburg Sun and
South Hill Enterprise. Our August/September Bulletin was already in the mail at that time. Please read on:
“ … In Brunswick County we continued to pursue our opposition to the proposed change to the Set-Back ordinances from
100 feet to 40 feet where commercial property adjoins a residential property. In preparation for the Public Hearing on August 20,
we wrote letters to the Brunswick County Supervisors; residents that would be affected by the change in setback; and our
Brunswick County members.
We had a good turnout and good presentations at the Public Hearing and a tie vote (2-2) defeated the motion.
Regarding the East Oaks Boat Launching Pad Proposal, the LGA supports a Rezoning Proposal by Morningstar Marinas
“that a new commercial marina business or an existing boat storage facility wishing to install boat launch facilities where none
existed prior must locate such boat facilities one half mile from any existing active commercial marina as measured from the
waterline of the new or proposed launch facility to the existing launch facility.” The LGA feels this recommendation has a sound
basis supporting boater safety and eliminating boater congestion.
A letter from the LGA documenting our position was sent to Warren County Commissioners, Warren County Planning
Director, North Carolina Dominion Power, Warren County Manager, and the Warren County Planning Board, with a copy to NC
Wildlife Resources.
“Taxation without Representation” was the theme of a letter sent to all North Carolina Senators and Representatives with
a request that they and their colleagues consider amending the state statutes to allow part-time residents to vote for the local lake
county issues and candidates where they own property, while still voting where they have permanent residences for local, state and
federal issues and candidates. …”
Updates: The Warren County Planning Board is reviewing the rezoning request from Morningstar Marinas. We will be
following its progress and we will keep you posted.
Moira’s monthly columns are on our website at www.lakegastonassoc.com/ExecDir/EDColumn.htm
In January of this year representatives from the LGA met in Richmond with senior members of the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality (VADEQ). The reason for the meeting was to convey our concern over the proposed wastewater treatment
plant by Lakeside Commons on Peahill Creek.
We were told the permit would be issued for public comment in early spring. As we had received no further
communication, we called for a status and ascertained that the Federal Government had issued new guidelines and their agency was
waiting for a technical audience, and they would be ready with an announcement within several weeks. As soon as we have more
information we will let you know.
The Government Relations Committee meets the third Monday of the month at 9 a.m. at the Eaton’s Ferry Grocery and
Grill on Hwy 903 south of the lake.
Planning & Development Takes Stock of Progress
In August we reviewed the actions that have been taken to date by the committee and what has been
committed to writing. We spent some time then again addressing our purpose of influencing planning and zoning
decisions within an area proximate to the lake, and the ways we might achieve that influence. We then went back to
figuring out how to influence the decisions without specifying characteristics which could be interpreted as
obstructionist. These recommendations are best expressed in total impervious surfaces as a percentage of overall lot
size and buffer requirements. Such recommendations need to be made based on scientific and ecological rationale
and factual data. The same can be said for vegetative setbacks and buffers.
In September the committee did a number of web searches for information regarding methods to promote the
preservation of the lake environment and quality of life by exploitation of measures to limit runoff of sedimentation
and chemicals into the lake. Many of these measures are similar to what are being effectively used in coastal
communities to preserve the health of the shellfish and regular fisheries. These measures can have significant benefit
long term at Lake Gaston in minimizing the nutrient runoff into the water and improving the water quality for the
fishery. The measures would also add to the ambiance of the lake through the utilization of vegetated buffer zones.
We intend to continue to collect data associated with better utilization of land area to allow development
while maintaining and improving the environment and quality of life for all residents and property owners
surrounding the lake. Such practices can also go a long way to preserving the value of the investments around the
lake.
If there are members or acquaintances that have experience in community/county development and planning
who would be willing to work on this activity please contact us through [email protected]. Monthly
meetings are held the third Friday of the month at 0830 at the Eaton’s Ferry Grocery and Grill on Hwy 903 south of
the lake.

2009 Membership Drives in Full Swing
The LGA Membership Committee is in the midst of our New Member Drive for 2009 via the county tax
listing records for those property owners living on Lake Gaston. We started with Halifax and Northampton counties in
July, and based on the responses we received over the last three months, the Board of Directors voted that we should
continue with Brunswick, Mecklenburg and Warren counties. Welcome packages were sent to all those new members.
We gained another four new members at the Littleton-Lake Gaston Festival on Labor Day weekend, and
hopefully those who took brochures, will respond in due time. And, at our monthly meetings, we are starting to gain at
least one or two new members. Any new member joining at this time is paid through to the end of the following year.
I hope you can tell the Membership Team is on a roll … and we will also be manning our booth at the
upcoming Halifax Harvest Days on October 18 (our first time at this event), and during the day of the Lake Gaston
Boat Parade on November 22 (our first time last year). With help from the Lake Environment Monitor team our showand-tell will be the NC State University’s 2008 Aquatic Plant Survey with a number of plant specimens on display.
We strongly believe that retention of our members stems from the welcome you receive when you join, and
the service you receive from then on. Our membership year runs from January 1 thru December 31 and we are now in
the final quarter of this year. We sincerely hope that you have really enjoyed being a member of the Lake Gaston
Association, that we have done a good job of keeping you informed, and you will want to renew your LGA
membership for another year. Currently our membership stands at 1,198 and we plan to USmail 1,061 renewal notices
the last week of October to reach you before the hectic Holiday seasons begins.
Lifetime members will be receiving a copy of your membership record information so that you can let us
know if any changes need to be made.
When we tell you we Thank You! for being members, we really mean it.
You are always welcome to join our Membership Team, we have non directors too. Email us at
[email protected] if you are interested in finding out more, or call (252) 586-6577 or 1-888-586-6577. We
meet the 2nd Friday at 10 a.m. at Eaton’s Ferry Grocery and Grill on Hwy 903 south of the lake.
Update from Lake Environment
·
·
·
·
·
Skip’s Aquatic Solutions, LLC, has completed the 2008 herbicide treatment program for Lake Gaston.
Private herbicide treatment continues in many areas. Please remember to report your private treatments to
Dominion Power for tracking purposes (and the LGA, see President’s Corner for more info)
The USCOE has agreed to stop any Inter Basin Transfer of water out of Roanoke River Basin or granting any
future water allocations from Kerr Lake to Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill until they complete a study of
future water allocations from USCOE reservoirs.
LGA directors continue to complete a test of the LGAlert process in order to verify and update the call list.
Lake Environment Monitors (LEMs) have started the 2008 NC State University’s Lake Gaston Aquatic Weed
Survey with hopes of covering the complete lake this year. See separate article for progress report.
Marketing Committee Reports a Solid Start
Hello everyone… The Marketing Committee is up and running and on its way to do what it can to help the
LGA become Your primary VOICE on lake issues for the people of the Lake Gaston region. We got off to a good
start by taking the lead in the LGA participation at the tremendously successful the 24th Littleton-Lake Gaston
Festival on Labor Day weekend.
MY THANKS to all the LGA members who volunteered their time and made the LGA booth such a success.
Special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Bruce Johnson for their display of below the surface Lake Gaston aquatic plants and
vegetation. The display was a hit and several people told us that the aquatic vegetation display was the most
informative information provided at the festival. Bruce is one of LGA’s Lake Environment Monitors. Also we had
four new members join the LGA and we have welcomed them aboard.
We are looking for committee members and you are welcome to attend any meeting and provide your inputs.
You are also welcome to send email inputs to me at [email protected].. You DO NOT have to have any
marketing experience.
The Marketing Committee will meet on the third Thursday of the month at 9 a.m. at the Eaton Ferry Grocery
and Grill on Hwy Route 903 south of the lake.

Public Safety Committee Update
The LGA Public Safety Committee continues to support North Carolina Legislative action for Boating Safety
Training parallel to that passed in the last session of the Commonwealth of Virginia’s House of Delegates and Senate.
WRAL interviewed Rep Wray on 2 September (aired 3 / 4 September) to discuss why he feels it is necessary. Rep
Wray indicated that if the measure saves one life it is well worth the effort. Jack Saunders and Pete Deschenes also
were interviewed as part of the activity. We continue to work with Rep Wray (who is sponsoring the legislation) to
address coordination with other activities and to gain support from the NC Wildlife Resources Commission.
Of importance are legislation that continues to allow trailering of boats up to 9 feet in beam on NC roads
(passed in the 2008 short session, vetoed by the Governor, overridden by a special session of the GA) and federal
legislation signed into law by the President that permanently exempted recreational watercraft from EPA Clean Water
requirements previously unenforced. (The latter was made necessary by a federal court decision agreeing with a
California environmental group to force all vessels to filter cooling water and deck water before return into the
adjacent body of water.)
The Committee determined to recognize local emergency response units, one per month, from all around the
lake. The first unit identified for recognition was the Lake Gaston Volunteer Fire Department and the second is the
Ebony Volunteer Fire Department. Please join us in recognizing these volunteers whenever you can, and support
them, if possible, with your time or donations.
We have decided to look at ways to have interest revitalized in Community Watch Programs to contribute to
the avoidance of burglary and theft. Several previous recommendations from local law enforcement are still good
points to ponder … Do not leave loose items on docks and sundecks. Lock up you spare gas containers and do not
leave keys in boats or personal watercraft. Make your residence or vacation home appear lived in – lights on timers,
motion sensor lights or alarms, radios on and off. Beware of burglary beacons such as collections of newspapers, full
mailboxes, unmoved garbage receptacles, or unattended lawns and gardens. If you will be away or are mostly away,
leave contact numbers with a neighbor who has a clear view of your property with your schedule for return. Take the
time to look around your neighborhood for unusual vehicles or unknown persons. Put in an alarm system with a loud
bell or horn. If something does not seem right call the person who lives or owns the property, or law enforcement if it
appears a crime is underway.
The next meeting of the LGA Public Safety Committee will be held on 10 Oct 08 at 0830 at the Eaton’s Ferry
Grocery and Grill on Hwy 903 south of the lake.
From the Desk of the Executive Director …
Can you believe we are now into October. I’m a sweater person having grown up in England, and this is my time of year
BUT I don’t like letting go of summer. It reminds me that another year is just around the corner. Whatever the season, I know you
will all agree, one can’t beat living on Lake Gaston.
In our last issue we had a bumper calendar of events for you, and now that we are into the Fall, I haven’t found as many
events for you as I would have liked. Maybe you will prefer to stay indoors in the warm with a good book instead. Having said that,
there are still quite a few events for you to choose from. Plus I’ve added the chamber and tourist websites for you to find additional
events.
One event you should plan for is on Saturday, November 22 the Lake Gaston Holiday Boat Parade and Chili Cook-off.
Last year the Boat Parade was expanded to include a day of activities before the parade. A number of vendors gathered at South
Shore Realty which is located on the south side of Eaton Ferry Bridge. We had a booth there, although brisk, it was a sunny day. Of
particular fun was the Chili Cook-off where a ticket would buy you several opportunities to taste the contestants’ food during the
cooking, and you could cast your votes for those that you thought tasted the best.
In the evening you need to plan to decorate your boat and enter it in the Lake Gaston Holiday Boat Parade. I was hoping to
have information about how to run Christmas lights on your boat for this issue. I will send you the information via email along with
more information about the event when it becomes available. In the meantime hold the date.
We have a new director in Northampton County, Linda Hedgepeth. We still have five director vacancies to fill – please see
the “LGA NEEDS YOU!” for details.
New in this issue are business cards for those businesses that have joined or upgraded to one of our supporting levels. We
encourage you to support those businesses.
Don’t forget to print a copy of the 911 Emergency Data Card from our website and the accompanying county emergency
information page. You will find it at www.lakegastonassoc.com/Safety/Safety.htm about halfway down the page you will see Links
to: Items of interest / recent activity – 911 Emergency Data Card will be one of the links. If you had difficulty getting a copy from
our last issue, try it this time. If you don’t have email, call the office at (252) 586-6577 or 1-888-586-6577 and leave your name and
we will mail the info.
