Sheadded that she believes thateveryone is on the same pagewith regard to plans and strategies, most likely because theinter-connectedness of the twoWhittaker Creek projects ismore clear. Some good suggestions were taken to heart, namely a thermometer that shows where weare on the fund-raising effort, along with a list of questions and answersthat have been asked and answered.Miller admitted that she was not prepared for the question: “Howmuch should slip owners contribute, especially if the HOA attached tothe Marina contributes as a business?”Miller says the appropriate answer should have been that a residential owner suggested donation is in the 400 range, and that businessowners in the 6,000 range. Miller reminds everyone that this is aVOLUNTARY COLLECTION to reach the 109,389 goal (1/3 of theIMAGINE-NC STEM CampContributed by Joy McCrackenThe Camp, based on a model called STEM (Science, Engineering,Technology and Math) Ecosystems, bridges museums and corporations that help the museums educate students and provide funding. TheIMAGINE camp was provided by a Burroughs Welcome Fund grant withpartnerships from Nutrien, S.W. Snowden, the Aurora Library, BeaufortCounty Schools and ECU.This second year of the Camp, which involves students from bothAurora and the surrounding area in grades 3-8 was entirely full with participants during its July run. Activities were held at the Fossil Museum’sclassroom, the library and at Snowden. Personnel that served as instructors and assistants came from ECU, Snowden, Nutrien and the Museum.Student classes included: GeoSandbox, Geology Rocks!, AwesomeAquifers, Dig A Little Deeper!, Magnificent Minerals, SizingUp Megalodon, Groundwater Detectives, Landforms, Maps, andElevations .Oh My!, Water Here, Water There, Water Everywhere! andPhosphate: What is it and why do we need it?Nutrien tied in at the end of camp week with real world career lectures.The culminating event consisted of student-created slide show presentations that depicted lessons learned.Almanac. 2Classifieds. 5Commentary. 6Community. 7Horoscopes. 2Legals. 8Neighborhood. 3, 4, & 10Obituaries. 7Reports. 6Socially Civic. 9project cost) to match the grant contribution of 2/3.Miller did discuss that an undeveloped property, no house, no dockwas valued between 80,000 and 120,000, while a developed property,house, dock, and other buildings on Whittaker Creek was valued between 400,000 and 600,000 and the businesses obviously would be valuedmore. So, the answer to the question about a slip owner contributionwould be that a slip owner’s property value generally runs 30,000 to 50,000, so they would be encouraged to give proportionately on a volunteer basis.Visiting boaters have and will continue to participate as they value theamenities we offer. Those who live landlocked can also appreciate thetotal toll the erosion and shoaling takes on our economy and may verywell be willing to contribute to make the project a success.All contributions are welcome at Town Hall. Checks should be madeout to Town of Oriental, and in the memo line, please note “WhittakerCreek Dredging.” Remember, this project is separate from the WhittakerPointe Project to save Whittaker Point, which is also currently in the proposal stageThe Town of Oriental thanks all those who jump-started the effort lastweek in helping collect 5,850. The goal is now down to 103,539 as ofthis writing, with several 1,000 contributions.A Word from The Publisher . . .Remembering Brantley, Sr.Oriental lost an icon last week.
