Another Successful Boone Lake Cleanup Day!!! 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 Tennessee 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!

This volunteer organization, consisting of Officers, Board Members and many committee members is the backbone of this annual cleanup! We have many committees who start meeting in February to organize the annual cleanup. If you would like to help next year, please call us. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Remember, your Boone Lake Association is the only organization that cleans Boone Lake. We employ 3 full time employees, Monday – Friday, to clean the lake. Enjoy the lake this summer and we will see you on April 25, 2015! Non-Native Fish Species Caught in Boone Lake Jay Wise When I rode up, Brandon with his Dad, body of water.

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.

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 East Tennessee 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.

Ron Siegfried On April 27, 2013, we held our 14th Annual Boone Lake Cleanup. The morning started out “really iffy” with cool, rainy conditions. But we learned that the weather did not dampen the spirits of our many volunteers. We received a report around 10:30 am that the trash receptacle at Jay’s Marina was full. Similar stories were coming in from Rockingham and Sonny’s Marinas. This year we collected a tremendous amount of styrofoam. Apparently, the old docks are breaking up and discharging their blocks of styrofoam. We collected an estimated 15,000 lbs. of Styrofoam, 10,000 lbs. of trash in bags, over 500 logs and 158 tires. The quantities were down from last year, but maybe that’s a good sign! Despite the weather, attendance at the picnic was great. We changed the menu this year to BBQ Pork sandwiches and hot dogs with rave reviews. The BBQ was absolutely great!!!! We owe a special thanks to Food City for all the food. We especially want to thank David Haaf. David is one of our newest Board Members and is our 2nd Vice-President. He works for Food City as Deli Department Manager for their over 100 stores. David is an important addition to our Board. We were also treated to the “Double Tree Hotel Cookies”, a favorite of everyone. David Haaf, Jason Hendrickson and Rick Miller Double Tree Hotel donated cookies Barbeque, hotdogs, slaw, chips and desert with Food City display food We would like to recognize all the volunteers without whom we could not organize and conduct the Annual Cleanup.

  • Happy 30Th Anniversary Boone Lake Association! Serving Boone Lake Since 1983
    HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY BOONE LAKE ASSOCIATION! SERVING BOONE LAKE SINCE 1983 Boone Lake Association is celebrating 30 years of working to improve the water quality and safety of Boone Lake. The picture to the left is an iconic picture of the shape that Boone Lake was in during the early eighties. Boone Lake Association was formed in 1983 and with the support of its members, has made vast improvements in the condition of the lake. As everyone on the lake knows, it is a continuous fight to keep the litter and wood debris out of the lake. BLA would like to thank all our members, past and present, along with our business and government partners. The picture below represents the Boone Lake we have all come to love and enjoy! Boone Lake association WATCHinG tHe WATERs P.o. Box 111 Piney Flats, tn 37686 april 2013 www.boonelakeassociation.org BOARD AND COMMITTEE HAPPENINGS BLA BUDGET As of December 31st 2012, BLA’s three accounts totaled $27,955. Of this, the Business Checking account balance was $14,297 (which included a $2,000 designated grant to Johnson City), the Capital Savings account balance was $10,774, and the Boone Lake Cleanup Day account balance was $2,884. Due to major expenses in the first 3 months of 2013, the Capital Savings account is now close to being depleted. This fund was used to purchase a new 60hp motor, a new storage facility located at Boone Lake Marina, new signage at the marinas and ramps, replacement of equipment stolen from a BLA boat, and upgraded containment barriers at our retention sites around the lake.

Tennessee Water Quality Control Consistent with EPA guidance, any Act stream or reservoir in Tennessee with an advisory is assessed as not meeting the recreational designated use. Clearly, if fishermen cannot safely eat the fish they catch, the waterbody is not supporting its goal to be fishable. Likewise, streams and lakes with high levels of bacteria are not suitable for recreational activities such as swimming or wading. Bacteriological Contamination The presence of pathogens, disease-causing organisms, affects the public’s ability to safely swim, wade, and fish in streams and reservoirs. Pathogen sources include failing septic tanks, collection system failure, failing animal waste systems, or urban runoff. About 122 river miles are posted due to bacterial contamination.

Box 111 Piney Flats, tn 37686 December 2013 www.boonelakeassociation.org www.facebook.com/boonelakeassociation BOARD AND COMMITTEE HAPPENINGS MEMBERSHIP NEWS 2013 membership in the Boone Lake Association currently totals 590. This compares with 580 in 2012, and a record level of 630 in 2011. Of the 590 members this year, 50 are new members to the Association. Our long term goal is for every resident around the Boone Lake shoreline to be a member of BLA. In the short term we need to continue to add to our membership numbers year by year. We encourage you to help in this effort by talking with your neighbors about our Association. There is power in numbers. WATER QUALITY Our summer testing for water quality took place in June, July and September. We tested 13 separate sites around the lake. A couple of the early June readings (for E. coli) were higher than normal due to excessive rain at that time. Heavy rains leach bacteria from the soil and deposit it in the creeks and streams that lead into the lake. For your own safety, if you choose to be in the water the day after a heavy rain, it is always a good idea to shower off soon after. Please call Ann Harrison (323 3887) if you would like detailed information on the sites and numbers from this summer. Our thanks to the City of Johnson City for their continuing help to test our water samples for E. coli. Also, thank you again to Ron Siegfried, Jay Wise and Jerry Morie for their help in collecting water samples and delivering them to the lab.
