ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL BOONE LAKE CLEANUP DAY!!!

BOONE LAKE ASSOCIATION WATCHING THE WATERS P.O. Box 111 Piney Flats, TN 37686 August 2014 www.boonelakeassociation.org www.facebook.com/boonelakeassociation Boone Lake Cleanup Day 2014 Ron Siegfried On Saturday, April 26th at 9 am, BLA kicked off its 15th Annual Boone Lake Cleanup! The weather was GREAT! It was probably one of the best days in our 15 years!

The quantity of trash was about the same as the previous year. We collected approximately 526 bags of trash, 198 tires, 182 blocks of Styrofoam, 11 propane tanks and tons of logs. The large trash receptacles were removed Monday from our eight sites. On Tuesday, BLA with the help of the Washington and Sullivan County Sheriff Departments, picked up the 198 tires and took them to the Washington County Tire Recycling facility in Gray, TN. All this was at no cost to the BLA. A special thanks to the Washington and Sullivan County Sheriff Departments as well as the Washington County Tire Recycling facility.

The picnic went great! It was attended by over 400 volunteers. Again, a very special thanks to Food City who supplied all the food (Pork BBQ, hot dogs, salads, chips, dessert, drinks, etc.). This is truly a very generous gift from Food City! They have been our food supplier for many years. We were also treated again this year to those special Double Tree Hotel (Hilton) of Johnson City cookies. Thank you!

The BLA gave away $2,000 in cash prizes to several lucky volunteers. The Grand Prize was a new Recliner Chair from Zak’s Furniture on North Roan Street, Johnson City, worth over $500. THANK YOU ZAKS FURNITURE!

Food City ECO team participated All the volunteers also received a tee shirt for all their work. BLA had new colors and a new in cleanup design which received many positive comments!

Thanks to all the Marinas-- Boone Lake Marina, Davis Boat Dock, Jay’s Dock, Lakeview Marina, Sonny’s Marina and Rockingham Marina for all you do to support Boone Lake Cleanup Day and Boone Lake Association!

Anglers who resident of Boone Lake) and Mom, catch unusual species or a species that Janice, were standing in the driveway has not been found in Tennessee, can with the outside lights turned on looking report it to the nearest TWRA office or the at the fish. I rode up and asked if they fisheries division. For more information knew what kind of fish it was and Bennie on Tennessee’s Aquatic Nuisance said he had no idea. We decided to call Species and references to information the TWRA to try to find out more. Brandon visit http://www.state.tn.us/twra/fish/ANS/ called on his cell phone but was only able Tnplanfinal.pdf to leave a voice mail. The fish was 17” nose to tail and 8” fin to fin and was placed in the freezer to preserve it.

I showed the pictures I had taken with my IPhone and his Mom wanted me to forward them, so we exchanged phone numbers. A few days later I texted to see if they had heard anything from the TWRA. She replied that the fish had been officially identified as a “Pacu”, which is Late in the evening of Friday, June 13th, a cousin to the Piranha.

Disposal of fish and other aquatic plants and animals according to TWRA “It is important to never dump any aquatic plants or water from the aquarium…into or near any body of water or storm drain. While many of these organisms will die, some will be able to survive. Those that survive have the potential to create negative impacts on our natural environment and native species. Because of these potential impacts, it is illegal for anyone to stock or release any plant or animal into the public waters of the state.” This is Part 2 of an article which paints a rich portrait of early pioneering around what would later become Boone Lake. Part 1 appeared in the April 2014 “Shoreliner” Jay Wise

William Bean’s Cabin Russell Bean (1769 - 1826) served as 1st Lieutenant in the Military in the war of 1812 with his sons Russell Jr. and Charles. Russell was also a gunsmith. He took a cargo of Rifles he had manufactured to New Orleans to sell. He remained on the trip for two years engaging in horse racing, cock- fighting and other sports of the times. On returning to Jonesborough, he found his wife Rosamond nursing a small infant. It was said a merchant named Allen was the father. Russell left the cabin without a word. Later he returned “drunk” and deliberately cut off both of the infant’s ears, saying that he marked it so it would not get mixed up with “his children”.

Russell was arrested, tried and convicted of this act of inhumane cruelty and sentenced. In addition to his punishment he was branded in the palm of his hand. Immediately he bit out of his hand the part containing the brand. He was imprisoned, but soon escaped from jail and remained at large because the officers were afraid of him. His wife soon divorced him but Russell was determined to kill Allen. He assaulted and beat Allen’s brother unmercifully. When the courts met, with Andrew Jackson on the bench, it was reported that they were unable to capture Bean. Russell was at his cabin threatening to kill the first man who approached. Jackson summoned every man in the court house to bring Bean in “dead or alive.” The sheriff responded “ Then I summon your honor first!.”

Jackson left the bench exclaiming “I’ll bring him in!” Jackson approached Bean’s cabin, pistol in hand. When he got within shooting distance, Bean arose, laid down his arms and surrendered. Jackson took him to the court room where he was again tried and convicted.

Later Bean’s Station was formed and named after William Bean. A lot of interesting reading and facts can be found online about William Bean and his whole family.

There is a little known museum, the “Boones Creek Trust Museum”, that is located in the basement of the oldest operating Christian Church in Tennessee, the “Boones Creek Christian Church”. An article is online at “Treasures of Boones Creek”. Tucked away in four Sunday school class rooms are artifacts, photos and documentation of Tennessee’s first community. There is a photograph of Williams Bean’s cabin. A long cap and ball rifle handcrafted by Charles Bean, a descendant of William Bean, along with some remnants of the Beach tree on which Daniel Boone carved “D Boone cilled a bar” are some of the prized items of the museum. The Beach Tree was located in a clearing in the woods just off Old Gray Station Road until 1916, when a windstorm brought it down. Over time the actual part Daniel Boone had carved was destroyed by vandals carving their initials etc. and defacing it, making it unreadable. The land owners had the tree hauled to Wolfe Brother’s furniture company in Piney Flats, where it was fashioned into small tables and at least 72 numbered bowls. One of the tables and 3 of the bowls along with a few notched branches and a couple of varnished planks are on display at the museum. The John Sevier Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution purchased the remaining lumber from the Beach Tree and had it made into gavels that they gifted to schools and officeholders.

(Jay Wise is a Boone Lake Association board member who serves on the Shoreliner committee. He has lived most of life on the shoreline of Boone Lake). PROPERTY VALUES ON BOONE LAKE BLA recently interviewed realtor’s Steve and Lisa Lohoff concerning the association’s impact on Boone Lake. This was included in a packet of information sent to approximately 1300 residents on Boone Lake that are not members of Boone Lake Association.

Steve and Lisa Lohoff are local Realtors at Town & Country Realty specializing in Boone Lake Properties. They have lived on or around Boone Lake for approx. 25 years. Steve and Lisa have over 28 years combined Real Estate experience. Steve is an ETSU graduate, originally from Wisconsin and Lisa is a UCF graduate, originally from Tennessee. They met at ETSU. Steve enjoys bicycling, exercise, boating and watching sports, especially the Green Bay Packers. Lisa’s hobbies include art, kayaking, boating and volunteering. They are members of BLA, Celebration Church, Chamber of Commerce, Junior League, Success Club and the Art Guild. They reside in Piney Flats on Boone Lake, with their son & 2 dogs.

Q. How long have you lived on Boone Lake? A. We have lived in our current home on Boone Lake for fifteen years. We also lived on the lake in the 80’s and early 90’s.

Q. What attracted you to the lake? A. The recreation, the scenery, and the peaceful environment of the lake. In addition, we have friends who live around the lake. We ski, jet ski, kayak and fish in addition to enjoying the year-round beauty of the lake from our home.

Q. Do you believe that Boone Lake Association brings added value to Boone Lake properties? If so, how? A. As Realtors, we believe Boone Lake Association absolutely brings added value to lake properties. BLA works to keep the lake clean and protect the quality of the water. It helps to maintain a homeowner’s investment in owning a lake property. We provide Boone Lake Association brochures to buyers and sellers we represent in lake property sales.

Q. Approximately 600 Boone Lake dwellers are members of Boone Lake Association. There could be as many as 2,500 homes or properties around the lake. Are you surprised that only 25% of owners are members of BLA? A. This is surprising, considering the amount of money owners have invested in their properties. The cost of membership in BLA is low compared to the property investment.

Q. Did you witness the condition of Boone Lake in the late 70s and early 80s? A. Yes. We lived on Boone during that time and the condition of the lake was poor with large amounts of trash and debris floating and poor water quality. The water quality has greatly improved since then.

Q. What impact did that poor condition have on property values at that time? A. The poor condition of the lake held down the value of property around the lake. There were few large homes or subdivisions around the lake at that time.

Q. Have you seen improvements to Boone Lake since those days, continuing until today? In your opinion, what has caused these improvements? A. Increased awareness of protecting the lake and the environment than there was in the 70s and 80s as well as increased enforcement by environmental agencies. There are tighter building restrictions around the lake.

Q. As the lake condition has gradually improved, how has the housing market changed over the years? A. The housing market has grown with the improvement in the condition of the lake. There are many new neighborhoods and homes all around the lake. Boone Lake now has weekend homes as well as many large, full-time residences.

Q. Have property values increased? A. Property values have increased over the years and continue to appreciate.

Q. When did the development of high-value ($500K and up) homes begin on the lake? Was it influenced by the improvements to water quality? A. The development of these larger dwellings had to have been influenced by the improvement in lake conditions. The general economic conditions have also contributed to the growth in the number of large homes around the lake. The large developments began in the late 1980’s.

Q. Do you think that most lake dwellers know that Boone Lake Association is the only organization that works to keep the lake clean, testing the water quality, etc.? A. No. Many people are not aware that BLA is the only group working to keep the lake clean and monitoring the quality of the water for E- coli.

Q. Absent BLA performing these functions, how long do you think it might take for the waters to take on the same appearance as in the 70s and 80s? A. Probably within three to five years property values would drop. Lake Real Estate would decrease in value as demand declined due to poor lake conditions.

Q. Does the work of Boone Lake Association continue to enhance property values around the lake? A. Yes. Boone Lake Association definitely helps the property values with their efforts.

Q. Do you believe that all lake dwellers should be members of BLA? A. Yes. We actively tell people about BLA as well as providing brochures to new property owners.

Q. How might BLA convince the 75% of homeowners who are not currently members to join BLA? A. Steve answered this by saying, “You can’t buy a meal for $40, so why not spend $40 to join Boone Lake Association and protect your investment and the lake?”

Personal watercraft are those vessels (boats) which are designed to be operated by a person sitting, standing, or kneeling on the craft rather than sitting or standing inside the vessel. It includes but is not limited to jet skis, wet bikes, wave runners, sea doos and similar craft. Personal watercraft are considered powered vessels and must adhere to the same rules as any other boat. They must be registered, carry flotation devices and be operated at a speed safe enough for the operator to avoid a collision or stop in time to avoid an accident.

Additionally, personal watercraft operators should be aware of the following:

Jumping the immediate wake (within 100 feet) of another vessel, weaving through congested vessel traffic and riding close to ramps, docks, or the shore is considered reckless operation.

All persons operating or using personal watercraft must wear a personal flotation device (life jacket), Type I, II, or III (Inflatable cannot be used).

No person shall operate a personal watercraft between sunset and sunrise.

Persons under 12 years of age may not operate a personal watercraft unless an adult is on board who can take immediate control of the boat.

Persons who allow an under-aged operator to use a personal watercraft may be prosecuted in addition to, or in lieu of, the operator.

Personal watercraft being used to tow skiers, surfboards or other devices must be equipped with 2 mirrors (at least 2 1/2 by 4 inches) or have a person, 12 years or older, to observe the progress of the skier. The mirrors must be mounted on each side of the personal watercraft (not on the handle bars).

Sailboards (windsurfers) are not considered vessels and do not have to be registered. A personal flotation device is recommended but not required for sailboards

Young Operators • Any Tennessee resident born after January 1, 1989 must have in their possession a TWRA-issued card showing proof of successful completion of the TWRA administered boating safety exam if operating alone. • Persons under 12 years old may not operate a powered boat of more than 8.5 horsepower unless accompanied by an adult who can take immediate control of the vessel. • If the accompanying adult (18 yrs. or older) is born after January 1, 1989, then he/she must have the boating safety certification card onboard. • Personal watercraft may not be rented by anyone younger than 16 years of age.

BLA Board changes for late 2014, and 2015 We are pleased to announce that two of our current board members, Ron Siegfried and Dennis Scheer, have agreed to serve as co-Presidents of the Association, beginning October 1st 2014 and serving until the end of 2015. This change was necessitated by our current President’s stepping down as of October 1st after serving for five years.

Ron has fulfilled the role as Chairman of the Lake Operations committee for the last two years, and in that capacity has instituted several successful initiatives. Dennis has acted as our website coordinator and leader of our recently formed Public Relations committee.

We are looking for additional volunteers to serve on our various committees, particularly Membership, Public Relations, and Lake Operations. We also need a replacement for our current secretary, Don Cross, who graciously stepped into this position earlier this year on a temporary basis.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you are interested in joining our management team in any capacity. We are definitely in need of more help, and would welcome you to our group. BOONE LAKE ASSOCIATION

WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO

Boone Lake Association’s primary purpose is removing trash and debris from the lake. We are a non-profit group created solely for the purpose of keeping Boone Lake clean and healthy. We operate a 3 person cleanup crew year round. During the summer, the crews are in the boats picking up trash and towing wood debris to designated containment areas. In the winter while the lake is down, they burn the wood debris that has been gathered. We assist our members with their specific cleanup issues.

Hwy 357 Interchange to Tri Cities Airport Boone Lake Association was contacted by a concerned resident that the Sullivan County Commissioners were voting on a Resolution to Encourage the Construction of State Route 357 between US 11E and the Airport Parkway on Monday April 21. We verified online that it was on the agenda and we sent an email to all BLA members whose email addresses we had, to make them aware the vote was happening. Upon arriving at the meeting on Monday, we were told the issue had been taken off the agenda. Even so, in front of a packed room of concerned residents that attended, two Boone Lake residents along with BLA president Russ Harrison addressed the commissioners voicing their concern about the route crossing Boone Lake.

It is important that everyone be diligent about things that could impact the lake. We will do our utmost to keep you informed and if you hear of things happening, please contact us also.

Fishing has been pretty good on Boone Lake. Most fishermen have switched over to night Fishing on fishing. Rodeos are launching from the Winged Deer Park, TVA Ramp, and Davis Dock which pretty well covers the lake. It has been taking a 12-14 pound catch to bring in a win with a 3-fish limit, which is a good average. Naturally, fishing is better when the dam is C.B. Kinch Boone Lake generating.

The latest Watson’s Tournament was held on Boone Lake with 81 boats participating. The winning catch with a 5-fish limit was 12.96 pounds. Note that the 10th finisher weighed in a 10.55 pound catch, so with no generation going on at the dam it goes to show you what a difference generation can make on your catch.

The lake is full this time of year so please fish with caution when running at night.

Happy Fishing TRASH TO TREASURE BY Telena Moore Growing up very poor with an extremely frugal mother (Hallie Moore) utilizing whatever she could to meet our needs, we learned how to make treasures from trash (e.g., Halloween costumes, school projects, Christmas, etc.).

The oldest sibling (Telena Moore) was able to purchase a small cabin on Boone Lake. The lake looked fine from the pontoon boat but once we started kayaking, we were devastated by all the trash along the shoreline. Additionally, fishing lines covered the shores like spider webs. After finding a few animals that had fallen victim to these fishing lines (birds and turtles), we (Telena, Amanda Moore, Lorena Bennett) started carrying knifes to clear any fishing lines we could reach. This made us even more aware of the extent of the underlying shoreline trash such as plastic bottles/containers (most numerous in our removal list), toys (for both humans and dogs), old dock floats (breaking up into countless impossible to remove smaller pieces), tires, lighters, blasting containers residuals (fireworks, shotgun shells, etc.), biohazards (needles, tampon applicators), and countless miscellaneous junk including bowling balls (seriously, they do float). Next thing we knew, we were collecting large bags of trash (THANKS for the bags Ms Eva with City of Johnson City!). With our mother’s historic influence, we began segregating items from the trash that we thought would make fun and unique art. We started making mobiles, table toppers, Lorena, Amanda & Telena trashmas trees, and murals/abstract pieces with the only non-trash parts of the assembly being a few screws and/or calk to hold items in place (we even use old fishing line to secure parts when practical). We wanted to make people aware of the fact that trash thrown into the lake doesn’t disappear, so we joined the Boone Lake cleanup in 2013 and brought one of our Trashmas Trees created in 2012 along with a poem in hopes we would influence people to recognize trash thrown into the lake often accumulates into large piles of comingled floating debris. It was to our pleasure to learn that this Trashmas Tree was adopted by a lake lot owner for display on their dock last summer and ultimately made it into the 2013 Christmas Parade, where we were told it won 3rd place! We continue to make trash art which includes a mural started for the 2015 Boone Lake cleanup (if you like I Spy ™, you will probably enjoy this piece) and an approximately 9 foot tall Trashy the Trashman (sung to tune Frosty the Snowman™, but with two eyes made out of skoal) that we hope may be used in this year’s Christmas parade.

We did not count how many bags of trash we removed the first year but we collected over 97 bags last year and to date this year, we are up to 54 bags. After the first year, we could not really see much difference, which was depressing, but after last year and this year’s cleanup, we can finally travel around Deerlick Island (the TVA stretch closest to cabin) and can finally enjoy the shorelines beauty with minimal trash. We could not do it alone and Boone Lake Association employee Keith is to be thanked for this huge decrease in trash in our immediate living areas (Thanks Keith for all your hard work!). We have tried to ensure we have kayaked every shoreline of Boone Lake and take the kayaks to various areas throughout the year. We sometimes park at the marinas and most are willing to take the trash we collect for disposal at their premises so we do not have to carry it back with us. As for favorite locations, we love the boat pullover spots that TVA provides along their shorelines, where we often carry the kayaks to by using the pontoon boat anchored to these TVA provided spots. Plus the TVA spots have trash cans to support our cleanup efforts. We find most of the inlets are fairly clean which I think might be in part to the residents within such areas picking up along their shorelines. We also enjoy the headwaters of Boone (both Holston and the Watauga) but were heartbroken yet again this year when we realized that the headwaters continue to accumulate massive quantities of trash, and knowing these floating blobs of debris will flush down with the next big to the areas we have worked so hard to clear. I think over time we are starting to realize that many folks who boat the lake are usually a little more courteous with how they handle their trash but after seeing the headwaters with sooo much debris, it appears that efforts are also needed to help educate those that utilize the headwaters into understanding the harm they pose to the environment when discarding trash into the waters just to watch it float away… its not gone and unless picked up by volunteers, will continue to litter the shorelines well past their grandchildren’s adult lives. Not sure how to tackle this action but it’s on the back of our brains seeking the right opportunity. Maybe starting with trash art or catchy posters in local county fairs? Schools? Postings to trees at common fishing spots? Sport events? TWRA fines? Our ultimate goal is to run out of lake trash for our trash art… but changing mindsets often takes more than one generation. We will continue to work it as long as we can and appreciate others like the Boone Lake Association who thankfully have similar goals. Thanks for your interest and support in helping to make Boone Lake become a safe haven for animals and a visual pleasure for mankind.
