C. '"—"—"«— PREFACE Mo city or town of today can expect to prosper or progress without § f making adequate municij)ai improvements; without such it will never « bo looked upon as being any good, or having any future; but simply I will be called dead or a has-been. In business circles, the City Directory 1 $ is just as important to the health and vigor of a business, whatever line ! li it may be, as municipal improvements are to the health and vigor of a I H tOAvn; they both go hand in hand; they both mean progress; for they both stand for EFFICIENCY which fact is being more vividly demonstrated every day; for there are thousands of City Directories in use now, where there were to be ! H found comparatively very few only a very short period ago. H The business world has awakened to the realization of this need; and there are few towns of any consequence that do not have a City Directory. Just how^ up-to-date or complete the Directory is, depends in most cases upon the support accorded to tlic publishers, ))rovided^ of course, that they know their business. It is an old saying that you can judge a man by the clothes he wears—w^hether this be true or not matters little; we all know that it is generally done; often no doubt to the disadvantage of some one. Just as much as man is judged by his clothes, just so much is the business life and activity of a town or community judged by its Directory; because the Directojy is the most complete and the only recognized standard book of reference regarding the citizens of a com- munity, their address, occupation or kind of business in which they are engaged. When you consult a Directory of a town, you can easily deter- mine if it is up to the standard, and if you find it to be well patronized, you need not be told that it belongs to a live community^—the fact is self-evident. It is therefore with pleasure that we present Vol. II of the Burlington and Graham, N. C, City Directory, for the fact is self-evident that we are doing business in a live communitv.

  • The Trading Path and North Carolina
    Journal of Backcountry Studies The Trading Path and North Carolina BY REBECCA TAFT FECHER Frontier is a subjective term, and one that has shifted and evolved over the years. North Carolina‟s piedmont and mountains originally were „frontier‟. The ever shifting frontier of North Carolina was explored cautiously, and with the help of the natives. In their explorations, and settlement of North Carolina, old native “trading paths” were utilized. Although some has been written about roads and paths into this area, most of the focus has been on the “Great Wagon Road”. A more fascinating look into the settlement of North Carolina‟s frontier is “the braided network of paths” and roads that make up what are referred to as the Great Trading Path.1 The label, in reality, referred to any number of different paths/roads within the state. This network allowed for the settlement of far flung areas in North Carolina, laying the ground work for where towns were formed, and providing a starting point for later roads throughout the state. Trade path routes were originally buffalo paths that then became Indian trails which were taken over by European explorers and settlers. Remnants of these old roads and trails have largely been forgotten as cars speed by, but can still be seen along many roads in this state. In many places, current roads overlay the centuries old paths. “The slender paths of aboriginal intercourse have been broadened and interwoven into the complex mazes of modern commercial lines”.2 Not only do these old roads represent our colonial beginnings, but they are a tangible part of our history that had a direct impact on where and how North Carolina was settled.

  • Cape Fear River Basin Action Plan for Migratory Fish
    Cape Fear River Basin Action Plan for Migratory Fish e Fe ap ar C R p i i v e h r s developed by P r a r t n e The Cape Fear River Partnership The Cape Fear River Partnership was formed in 2011 with a vision of a healthy Cape Fear River for fish and people. The partnership's mission is to restore and demonstrate the value of robust, productive, and self-sustaining stocks of migratory fish in the Cape Fear River. Building on the momentum of the newly constructed fish passage at Lock & Dam #1, this partnership of key federal, state, local, academic, and other organizations in the region is working together on this multi-year action plan. Using a broad range of tools and capabilities, we seek to provide long-term, habitat-based solutions for the most pressing challenges for migratory fish. The partnership strives to measure achievement of our mission our success with the following targets: increased fish populations (as measured by catch-per-unit efforts, improved age structure, and other techniques), increased recreational fishing success for shad, striped bass, and river herring (as measured by creel surveys), and a re-opened striped bass and river herring harvest in the Cape Fear River.

  • Fish Consumption Patterns and Mercury Advisory Knowledge Among Fishers in the Haw River Basin
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Fish Consumption Patterns and Mercury Advisory Knowledge Among Fishers in the Haw River Basin Jill E. Johnston, Kate Hoffman, Steve Wing, Amy Lowman background Fish consumption has numerous health benefits, with fish providing a source of protein as well as omega-3 fatty acids. How- ever, some fish also contain contaminants that can impair human health. In North Carolina, the Department of Health and Human Services has issued fish consumption advisories due to methylmercury contamination in fish. Little is known about local fishers’ consumption -pat terns and advisory adherence in North Carolina. methods We surveyed a consecutive sample of 50 fishers (74.6% positive response rate) who reported eating fish caught from the Haw River Basin or Jordan Lake. They provided information on demographic characteristics, species caught, and the frequency of local fish con- sumption. Additionally, fishers provided information on their knowledge of fish consumption advisories and the impact of those advisories on their fishing and fish consumption patterns. results The majority of participants were male (n = 44) and reported living in central North Carolina. Catfish, crappie, sunfish, and large- mouth bass were consumed more frequently than other species of fish. Of the fishers surveyed, 8 reported eating more than 1 fish meal high in mercury per week, which exceeds the North Carolina advisory recommendation. Most participants (n = 32) had no knowledge of local fish advisories, and only 4 fishers reported that advisories impacted their fishing practices. limitations We sampled 50 fishers at 11 locations. There is no enumeration of the dynamic population of fishers and no way to assess the representativeness of this sample.

    Chapter 32 Water Resources, Minimum Streamflows and Interbasin Transfers 32.1 River Basin Hydrologic Units Under the federal system, the Cape Fear River basin is made up of hydrologic areas referred to as cataloging units (USGS 8-digit hydrologic units). The Cape Fear River basin is made up of seven whole cataloging units. Cataloging units are further divided into smaller watershed units (14-digit hydrologic units or local watersheds) that are used for smaller scale planning. There are 2,819 local watershed units in the basin. Table 33 compares the three systems. A map identifying the hydrologic units and subbasins can be found in Appendix I.

  • Sediment Dynamics in Jordan Lake
    Sediment Dynamics in Jordan Lake Brent McKee and Sherif Ghobrial Department of Marine Sciences UNC Chapel Hill Special Thanks to UNC undergraduate students: Naomi Becker Michaela Monahan Annie Williams Ivonne Guzman Sarah Brooker Submitted August 1, 2019 1 Central Question Addressed in this Report: What is the fate of sediments entering Jordan Lake from the Haw River • Where do they go spatially (throughout the lake)? • How do they move temporally (throughout the year)? Why do we care? • An important fraction of nutrients and contaminants are associated with particles and follow particle pathways. • Once particles settle to the lake bottom they experience a different geochemical environment (e.g. pH, O2) and transformations can occur (release from particles). • Particulates themselves can cause water quality issues resulting in light limitation What are possible policy implications from this study? • A major objective is to better understand the extent to which Haw River sediment get to the middle lake, where municipal water intakes are located, and to better understand when that happens and what physical forces dominate (Haw River Discharge, Physical Currents within the Lake) • It is possible to develop a predictive capability regarding how turbidity plumes get to the middle lake region. • This study will help us better understand the dispersal of sediment- associated nutrients and contaminants. 2 Report Outline: • Central Research Question and Management Implications • Lake Setting o Precipitation o Water Discharge o Sediment Discharge

  • Frequently Asked Questions
    November 2016 NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail through Orange County Frequently Asked Questions What is the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail? The NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail (MST) is a 1,000-mile trail that will traverse the state from the Great Smoky Mountains in western North Carolina to Jockey’s Ridge State Park on the Outer Banks. Partners across the state are helping to plan and build the trail that will link communities and serve as the backbone of a growing system of land and water trails in North Carolina. In 2000 the NC General Assembly authorized the MST as a unit of the North Carolina Parks System. A map showing the Mountains-to-Sea State Trail across North Carolina is available at: http://www.orangecountync.gov/MST_statewide_map__0612_Status_.pdf How many miles of the NC Mountains-to-Sea Trail are finished? Over 600 miles of dedicated trail — well over half the planned length— has been completed to date and is open for hiking. A series of interim roadway connectors (bicycle routes and back roads) have been identified by the Friends of the Mountains-to-Sea Trail organization that knit together the completed sections of the MST across the state. Some examples of completed trail in this area include the following: • In Durham and Wake counties there are 77 miles of the trail along the Eno River and Falls Lake • Raleigh and Clayton completed a 33-mile Neuse River Greenway from Falls Lake Dam to Clayton • Alamance County has 15 miles of trail – including 8 miles from Glencoe to Town of Haw River • Hillsborough completed the 1.3-mile Riverwalk and Classical American Homes Preservation Trust extended the trail another 1.5 miles.
