Internet and Mobile Banking
"Outside" Accounts Can be Free
Maintaining a minimum balance can help you avoid monthly bank account fees, but in some cases so can establishing an account that keeps you "outside" the bank. If you bank online and use an ATM to withdraw money and make deposits, you may qualify for a free account. You can still write checks, of course (although why would you if you can set up online bill pay services)? Some financial institutions even allow you to scan checks and make online deposits. Convenient and free what's not to love?

Reading Day presents a problem
I always get excited this time of year. Wildstock might be my favorite event at Linfield, stretching back to my freshman year when it was a huge carnival style party filled with fun and sun. The bands weren't too famous, but there was tons to do and people everywhere were looking to have fun. It seemed like every group on campus had something to contribute.
Sadly, the last few years have stifled my excitement. Greater focus on headlining bands and on the music, in general, left little room for student interactive fun and play. Both years featured good food and a lot of open space meant to be used for concerts.
This year, I was hoping things would be different. Yes, Linfield Activities Board has a decently famous band appearing to tie up much of its funds, but I was reassured by multiple people that it was going to be amazing anyway. I was told this the last two years too. I had heard that Wildstock was going to be right before finals, similar to how it was last year. Not a problem, I thought to myself.
That's when I heard the ridiculous part. Reading Day had been moved to Friday.
I generally view the weekend before finals as a time of preparation, reflection and massive amounts of partying. I'm not alone in that either. The previous schedule was awesome because it allowed students to spend the week before finals finishing up projects, right up until Thursday night. At that point, procrastination reaches an all time high, students begin their last hurrah and it's a blast from the end of class on Thursday to Sunday morning.
For many, that's actually not that different from any other weekend in the semester. But with finals following, there is a little more time to recover than the normal Sunday afternoon. That's why having Reading Day on a Monday was so excellent.
Having Reading Day on a Friday is not a good idea. Friday was practically a day off before, and now it's at the expense of an important study day at the end. Does anyone really think that Friday will replace Monday as the key study time before finals?
It's going to be a party day, same as always. In fact, plenty of events have been scheduled for this day, including Wildstock, the biggest on-campus event of the year. This is supposed to be our study time?
Professors, reflect on the averages as you count up the points for the finals next week. My bet is they'll be lower because of this lost time. Students are going to be doing what they always do, and they'll find out quickly how little time they have to do it.
I'm sure there's a legitimate reason for why our finals are now even closer to the end of that last project date. Regardless of why, that change isn't a smart one. We need that extra time. Now I just have one more reason to feel depressed if Wildstock doesn't blow me away this year.

ST. LOUIS — Sean Payton flips on the video of the Rams and sees the team that beat Indianapolis by 30 points and Chicago by 21 and promises that today's game is about this year's St. Louis team, not any in the past.
But to understand why New Orleans isn't taking the Rams lightly, one needs only to look back at the Saints' recent history with St. Louis, not at what they've done this year.
And it's the most-recent encounter that sheds the most light into why, when asked St. Louis, those still on the roster from 2011 all went from smiles to frowns.
"In '09 we barely squeaked out of there with a win and they were a winless team at the time and in '11, they beat the brakes off of us and we were a 13-3 team that year," quarterback Drew Brees said. "We understand the challenge of going there. We know the way they probably view us going there. We've had difficulty playing over there."
In 2011, the Saints set NFL offensive records by the bushel and finished the regular season 13-3.
It's that St. Louis game, however, that changed the course of New Orleans' future. The Saints lost the No. 2 seed to San Francisco because they failed to win in the Edward Jones Domes, site of today's 3:25 encounter.
After that game, the Saints won eight straight games to end the regular season by 17 points.
The Rams, to that point, hadn't won a game. New Orleans, meanwhile, was coming off a 62-7 win over Indianapolis.
The script was flipped in Week 10 as the Saints appeared to be the winless team and St. Louis the juggernaut.
Because the Saints couldn't contain St. Louis defensive end Chris Long and the Rams defense, New Orleans wouldn't leave with a win like it had two years earlier, when a Courtney Roby kickoff return for a touchdown put the Saints ahead for good.
In 2011, Brees was sacked six times, threw two interceptions and the offense never appeared comfortable. There was no game-saving return.
And that's what New Orleans player remembered this week.
When asked if the previous Rams games in St. Louis were brought up this week, right tackle Zach Strief said it had.
"I think you always look back a little bit, you're aware of what your history is with a team and obviously ours isn't very good with this one," Strief said. "They've always played us hard, always given us a tough time."
That's why the Saints are taking a 5-8 team seriously and that gets back to Payton looking at that nearly beat Seattle at home in October, not the teams of the past.
The Rams' defense has two of the best young rushers in the game, Long and end Robert Quinn. Combined, the two have 19.5 sacks this season, helping St. Louis boast a unit ranked third in sacks per pass play.
Only seven teams have more takeaways than St. Louis' 24.
That's not to mention an offense that ranks 11th in yards per rush attempt.
"They've got a young roster, and yet you just have to put on the game tape and watch the Chicago game or watch the Indianapolis game or watch – pick a game – Seattle," Payton said. "They're a team that can do a lot of things very well. They're fast on offense. Their offensive line is healthy. Defensively they're right at the top of the league in sacks, hurries, pressures."

A Very Strong TeamThe team gathered on Saturday morning and boarded their
coach. 24 climbers, including some of Britain's
best, Nick Sellars, Ryan Pasquil, Neil Mawson, Paul Smitton, Sam Whittacker and
Myself. That's a fair collection of E9's and 8c's in there. The destination?
Not a day's climbing! Too hot for that, and way too humid. Instead it was an
all day dance festival – 'Cocoon in the park'.

The Tennessee Valley Authority announced Thursday morning via their Twitter feed that they agency was asking consumers to use less electricity during the cold snap through Friday.
"Due to the extreme cold, we're asking all users to voluntarily reduce their electric use through tomorrow afternoon." read the TVA_Newsroom posts on the social media site.
A second Tweet elaborated "Any reductions you can make now can help us serve our customers through the frigid temps."
The requests come a few weeks after a similar request, when the TVA asked their power customers, which are typically companies supplying power to consumers, to ask consumers to reduce their usage.
A third Tweet from the TVA said "The power system remains secure and stable; all available generation sources are being used to meet peak demand."
A news release from the TVA states "When it's below 20 degrees, each time the temperature drops one degree another 400 megawatts of electricity is needed. That's almost as much as one of our larger hydroelectric dams," said Tim Ponseti, vice president of TVA Transmission Operations and Power Supply. "Setting your thermostat two to three degrees below normal this evening and Friday morning can really help TVA manage the high power demand during this challenging time."

Metairie, La. - While New Orleans police were working the scene of a quintuple shooting in Central City, dozens of kids were lacing up roller skates in the name of peace.
It wasn't a traditional gathering in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., but that is exactly why 9-year-old Diamond Walker and her cousins were there.
"He said no matter what the color of your skin is, he loves everyone." said Walker. "I like to write things about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr."
Diamond Walker wrote an essay asking for peace. "Young people are killing for little things such as words, schools, shoes and drugs," read Walker.
"The kids are 9 and 7 years old, thinking about violence in the city. That's shouldn't be," said Tamara Jackson with Silence is Violence.
Silence is Violence is hosting a series of events called Strike Out Against Crime. "We decided to have this event so kids can have a safe haven, as opposed to the parades, as we all know, usually end up in a shooting," said Jackson.
Not long after the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. March, five people were shot near the intersection of MLK and Lasalle.
NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas was at the scene. "Any time we have an act of violence on Martin Luther King Day, it's really even a bit more sad, more sad for the young men who have lost their way," said Serpas.
Last year on this day, a woman was shot on Louisiana Avenue when a stray bullet went through her front door. The year before that there were three separate shootings: Four people were shot, and three of them died.
New Orleans certainly isn't alone. On this day in 2009, there was a shooting at a Marrero playground, just as an MLK parade came to an end. Two people were shot, including an 11-year-old boy.
"Our message is there's a war going on outside that nobody is safe from," said Tamara Jackson. "The shooting today is an example that anyone can become a victim of violent crime."
And while this day at the skating rink was fun with family and friends for little Diamond Walker, she knows that's not what brings her here.
"We as a whole world need to pray more," she said. "Let's stop the violence and walk in peace. Amen. Amen."
A woman who was texting while driving was impaled by guardrail pole.

Oracle addressed 40 security issues in Java and enabled online certificate revocation checking by default in its scheduled critical patch update for Java on Tuesday.
Thirty-four vulnerabilities patched in the newly released Java 7 Update 25 (Java 7u25) version affect only client deployments of Java. Another four affect both client and server deployments, one affects the Java installer and one the Javadoc tool that's used to create HTML documentation files.
[ InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to secure your Web browsers in a free PDF guide. Download it today! | Learn how to protect your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and Security Central newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
Many of the client-only vulnerabilities received the maximum score on the vulnerability severity scale used by Oracle. These flaws can be exploited by attackers to take control of computers by hosting malicious Java applets -- Java Web applications -- on remote servers and tricking users to load them in their browsers.
The large number of Web-based attacks that targeted Java users this year by exploiting vulnerabilities in the Java browser plug-in prompted concern about the security worthiness of the Java platform among home users and in enterprise environments, where Java is also frequently used on servers.
In order to clearly differentiate between the security risks to Java client and server deployments, Oracle started shipping a separate Server JRE (Java Runtime Environment) package in April that doesn't include the browser plug-in.
The Javadoc issue could affect users who visit HTML pages generated with the tool that are hosted on Web servers.
"Some HTML pages that were created by any 1.5 or later versions of the Javadoc tool are vulnerable to frame injection," said Eric Maurice, Oracle's director of software assurance, in a blog post Tuesday. "If exploited, this vulnerability can result in granting a malicious attacker the ability to inject frames into a vulnerable web page, thus allowing the attacker to direct unsuspecting users to malicious web pages through their web browsers."
Java 7u25 includes a patched version of the Javadoc tool that no longer generates vulnerable Web pages. In addition, Oracle released a separate tool called the Java API Documentation Updater Tool, that can be used to fix previously generated and vulnerable pages.
The new update also makes some other security-related changes, including enabling the certificate revocation checking feature by default.
As part of its efforts to fight Java exploits, Oracle changed Java's default behavior earlier this year to prevent the execution of unsigned applets without user interaction, therefore encouraging developers to digitally sign their Java Web applications with valid certificates.
However, in order for this to work properly as a defense mechanism, Java needs to be able to check in real time if the certificates used to sign applets have been revoked by their issuing certificate authorities (CAs). Otherwise, an attacker could sign a malicious applet with a stolen certificate and there would be no way for Java to detect that, even if the CA later revoked the certificate for abuse.

Word is Saints WR Lance Moore has impressed observers in training camp. Moore had a chance to shine early while WRs Marques Colston, who has since returned to practice, and Robert Meachem sat out while recovering from surgery. Moore struggled with injuries in 2009 and made just 14 catches in the seven regular-season games in which he played, but the Saints re-signed him to a one-year, $1.759 million tender in the offseason. The fifth-year veteran led the team in receptions (79) and receiving touchdowns (10) in '08 and is looking to prove he wasn't a one-year wonder. "(Moore is) consistent and he's a guy who knows what we're doing," head coach Sean Payton said. "It's good to see him healthy. He's somebody that really has a great grasp on what we are trying to do, and rarely makes a mental error." Meachem is expected back soon, however, and Moore will have plenty of competition for targets.

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® Series, the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world, raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since its inception in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure series has grown from one local Race with 800 participants to a global series of more than 140 Races with more than 1.6 million people participating on four continents.
Komen welcomes people of all ages and fitness levels, from walkers to elite runners. This unique event is designed and implemented to promote positive awareness, education and early detection of breast cancer. It has proved to be an enormously effective way to reach many women and men with the message that breast cancer is not necessarily fatal if mammography and breast self-exam become routine.
As well as being a road race for runners, the Komen Race for the Cure is an emotionally charged event that attracts many first timers and recreational runners. The Komen Race for the Cure is an opportunity for thousands of women, men and their families, running or walking, to spread the breast cancer message within their communities.
Seventy-five percent of the net funds raised at the Race remain here in the Komen Southeastern Colorado Affiliate to provide breast health research, diagnostics, screening, treatment, services and education for uninsured or underinsured women. The remaining 25 percent goes to fund national research to discover the causes of breast cancer and, ultimately, its cures.
Every step counts! Your donation provides women and men in the Komen Southeastern Colorado Affiliate with services that have literally saved lives. You help make the following programs possible:

DENVER (KUSA/CNN) – Dozens of American students are safely back home in Colorado after facing the threat of escalating Middle East violence on a trip to Israel.
The group returned to Denver International Airport on Sunday, and into the arms of their families.
They were on a five-week tour to study Jewish heritage when things got dangerous.
One parent says the kids got to see what people in Israel deal with every day.
"I think our kids are under this false sense of security in America and they think everybody's privileged and everybody can do and come and go as they want - and I think for our children to have that connection to Israel, which is why we sent them in the first place, I think that's part of the connection to understand how people live," one parent said.
Group leaders changed the itinerary several times in order to avoid ongoing missile strikes.
U.S. and international calls for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas have failed to gain traction.

As far as Bay County's tourism economy goes, Panama City Beach makes all the noise. But there's a quiet little spot in the eastern part of the county that's holding its own in the competition for visitors.
Mexico Beach, separated from the rest of the county by Tyndall Air Force Base, often takes a backseat to the more popular tourist traps a few miles to the west. Branded as the "Unforgettable Coast," the city's five miles of white sand beaches are well-known to a growing number of tourists looking for quaint and quiet.
"It's so peaceful," Kimberly Shoaf, President of the Community Development Council, said. "There's nothing to do here and you get to get away."
The CDC spends a lot of time telling prospective visitors that there's not much to do. The agency utilizes a website, social media, print advertising, television commercials and special events to market Mexico Beach. Its 2014 budget of $413,199 and is based on projected bed tax revenues.
Popular activities include fishing, diving and relaxing on the beach. Shoaf said the destination's laid back lifestyle and old Florida charm appeal to the CDC's target markets: families with small children, empty nesters with grown children and, in the winter, snowbirds.
Not exactly party animals.
"Their early morning ritual consists of coffee at seven o'clock on their balcony... that's as hard core as they get," Shoaf said.
Seagulls call Mexico Beach home and so do the "Flamingos" – a group of friends that trade the blue grass of Kentucky for the white sand of Florida twice a year. Elaine Alicna, Janet Thompson and Beth Nichol have one week left in their fall trip and spent Monday enjoying the sand and surf.
"We like it because we don't have to fight the traffic and we don't have to fight people on the beach," Alicna said. "All we want to do is just rest and relax."
The CDC is counting on birds of a feather flocking together. "We want them to tell their friends and we want them to tell their family because if they had such a good time, chances are the people who they socialize with are going to have just as much of a good time," Shoaf said. "It's just a domino effect."
Local resident Bud Holcomb likes the tourists but doesn't want Mexico Beach to lose the qualities that attracted him to the area more than 20 years ago. "I don't want it to get big... it's quaint and we're not crowded," Holcomb said.
Holcomb isn't alone in wanting to preserve the small town charm. "Businesses and the community love what Mexico Beach has continued to be for the past 60 plus years," Shoaf said. "It's not what every other beach has turned into."
According to Shoaf, visitors return to Mexico Beach year after year in a cycle that eventually includes their children and grandchildren. "We want someone to say 'I remember when…' and we still are their remember when."

Can it still accelerate the flow of American jobs to countries that have abysmal records on human rights and labor rights, countries like Vietnam? Can it still spur a race to the bottom where Americans forfeit their moral, environmental and employment standards for larger trade deficits of cheap imported goods and minimum wage employment at home?

With the 13th pick in SB Nation's 2012 NFL mock draft, the Arizona Cardinals select Stanford OT Jonathan Martin.
Can't knock this pick. I'm a sucker for any and all offensive line help. The Cards recently re-signed OT Levi Brown, former fifth overall pick who hasn't been elite in his five-year NFL career. Martin gives the Cards more help and helps solidify the offensive line, while also pushing Brown.
SB Nation's Cardinals blog, Revenge of the Birds, explains the pick:
The offensive line is clearly the Cardinals' greatest need. With both David DeCastro and Jonathan Martin on the board, the decision is tough. DeCastro could be an elite guard. Martin has great film, but has one glaring weakness -- his weakness (lack of strength). In the end, Martin is the guy to go with because the Cardinals seek a tackle, especially someone who could play left tackle. Martin's technique is great, his athleticism is without question and if strength is the only thing lacking, he can acquire that with John Lott, one of the best in the business at strength and conditioning.
For more analysis of the pick, visit Mocking The Draft. SB Nation's Cowboys blog, Blogging The Boys, is on the clock with the 14th pick.

A new study suggests that teen girls are far more likely than boys to engage in distracted driving behavior.
Mobile devices often get accused of alienating people from the world around them. But for U.S. teens, cell phones (especially text messaging) are a key way to stay connected with friends and other people in their lives, according to new research from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Health experts are seeing increased number of people with injuries from their phones. CBC News' Sarah Konsmo reports.
Sierra Leone and Liberia have some of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, with 15-24 year olds accounting for 40% of such deaths) and two years ago, agencies IPPF and FORWARD listened to hundreds of African voices talking about sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Dear Annie: I read with amusement your recent advice to the summer intern who hoped for a job offer despite a tattoo ("Get hired after an internship," August 20). Great, but how about some help for those of us on the other side of the desk? I'm managing a team of 10 part timers between the ages of 17 and 20 -- and I'd gladly accept tattoos in place of some of their attitudes.
The parents of a teen who died in 2005 learn the medical examiner kept their son's brain. CNN's Elizabeth Cohen reports.
If you needed more proof that texting is on the rise, here's a stat for you: the average teenager sends over 3,000 texts per month. That's more than six texts per waking hour.
We talk with the cast of this season's edition of "Dancing with the Stars".
Bristol Palin remains the nation's most famous teen mother. From her GOP convention outing in 2008 to the formal announcement that she will be a glittery hoofer on the popular TV show "Dancing with the Stars," Bristol remains a pop culture tour de force.

Sarah Palin's daughter, a teen mother, will reportedly command up to $30,000 per speech to talk about abstinence
A question for those of you who maintain Facebook or other social networking accounts: how many of you friend your parents? How many of you would friend your parents if you were still a teenager? I'm friends with my mom on Facebook, but I can't say for certain whether I would if I were 16. According to a new survey by Retrevo, almost half of parents say that they're friends with their teenagers on social networks.
There's a new danger for teens who text too much. CNN's Ali Velshi takes a look at the impact of too much texting.
As most parents of adolescents know all too well, text messaging has become the preferred method of communication for American teenagers, with one in three teens sending more than 100 texts a day, a new survey says.
After two years of increases, the teen birth rate in the United States declined 2 percent between 2007 and 2008, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Tuesday.

Use the holiday shopping season to teach them some real-life budgeting skills they can apply now and throughout their lives. (Bonus: If you get them to stretch their own dollars, less has to come out of your pockets.) Both giving and receiving can be teachable moments, if you follow this advice:
Nearly one-sixth of teens who own cell phones have received nude or nearly nude images via text message from someone they know, according to a new survey on "sexting" from the Pew Internet & American Life Project.
Young women should have their first Pap test no sooner than age 21, regardless of when they become sexually active, say new guidelines from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Earlier screening for cervical cancer may lead to unnecessary and possibly harmful treatments for an increasingly rare cancer, according to ACOG, the leading U.S. professional organization for obstetricians and gynecologists.
In recent years college students could get credit cards almost as easily as they could score beer. Some 84% of undergrads have at least one card, a Sallie Mae study found, and half carry four or more.
Some children and teens are more likely than their peers to become addicted to the Internet, and a new study suggests it's more likely to happen if kids are depressed, hostile, or have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or social phobia.
After years of speculation and rare case reports, a study suggests that stimulant medication -- mostly used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder -- may have played a role in a handful of cases of sudden, unexplained death in children and adolescents.

She had many plans for the future: to go to college, start a career, meet the man of her dreams, raise a family -- when the time was right.
Better get your pep talk ready. "It's going to be a bleak summer for kids looking for work," says Andrew Sum, director of Northeastern University's Center for Labor Market Studies.
Dealing with the fallout from the financial crisis -- namely, the anxiety about your job and investments -- is hard enough. Talking about it all with teenage kids can be even more daunting. But it's a conversation worth having, especially now that they're old enough to share the stress. Not only can you ease their concerns, says Atlanta psychologist Mary Gresham, "you can turn these into teaching moments."
Our ship hadn't quite left port when I handed my teenager a present: a lovely leather-bound notebook with lined pages and a variety of colorful pens. His mission was to keep a cruise journal, a tell-all, remember-the-moments account of his days (and nights) on the high seas.
As many as one in eight teens in the United States may take a virginity pledge at some point, vowing to wait until they're married before having sex. But do such pledges work? Are pledge takers more likely than other teens to delay sexual activity?
Any parent with a teenager is familiar with how difficult it may be for them to get enough sleep. But some parents are finding help in a little pill: melatonin, a dietary supplement that helps regulate the body's sleep cycle. But should they?
Sexual content on television is strongly associated with teen pregnancy, a new study from the RAND Corporation shows.

An Albany business is offering a reward for information about their stolen trailer, which crooks towed away early Sunday morning.
There is surveillance video of the truck the crooks used to steal the trailer from behind Hale's Battery in the 1000 block of Flint Avenue.
About 4 am Sunday, the crooks cut the lock on the fenced area behind the business, hooked up the 16 foot dual axle trailer and towed it off.
Monday, the owner Dwayne Hale offered a reward.
"We just don't want it to continue, so hopefully doing this will kind of keep them from coming back or anything else happening. Let them know we are not going to just let them get away with it anyway," Hale said.
The surveillance video was captured by Hale's neighboring business, Homestead Pools, and Albany Police investigators reviewed it Monday as well.
If you have any information about the stolen trailer, valued at about $25,000, call Hale Battery Service at (229) 344-3912.

---- — ROUSES POINT — Early numbers indicate the Village of Rouses Point will be able to keep its tax levy increase below 2 percent.
Village Treasurer Arsene Letourneau said the figures could change as the 2013-14 budget is finalized.
He said they are looking at a $616,074 tax levy at this point, up from $604,857 2012-13, a 1.8 percent increase. The tax rate would increase to $4.40 per $1,000 of assessed value, from $4.28 last year.
There has been no increase in state aid and no relief from unfunded mandates, he said.
"The departments are monitoring their budgets very closely. They are saving money any way they can," Letourneau said.
The village proposes raising the flat rates for water and sewer $6 each. Rates were last increased in 2010.
The water rate would increase to $32.02 per 1,000 gallons used. The sewer rate would increase to $29.98 per user connection.
That move is intended to help increase the fund balance in those departments, Letourneau said, in anticipation of the loss of department revenue from Pfizer, which is by far the largest user in the village.
He said the budget includes $75,680 for paving projects. Those would be on Maple Street, Pearl Street. White Avenue and Church Street. No major equipment purchases are included in the budget.
There is also $98,000 in the electric fund to finish burying electric lines on Pratt Street.
Mayor Francis "Bumper" Baker said the village faces challenges from skyrocketing retirement and health benefits. It is also in the midst of negotiations with its Civil Service employees and is concerned about the impending closure of Pfizer.
The Village Board eliminated the chief of police position in last year's budget. Baker said he has no plans to shut down the department entirely.
The rate to rent the ice at the Rouses Point Civic Center would increase $4 to $128 per hour for 2013-14.
The tentative 2013-14 budget must be presented to the village clerk by March 20. After that, copies will be available to the public.
The village then needs to hold a public hearing on the budget by April 15.
The spending plan needs to be adopted by May 1.
Village elections are Tuesday, with Arvil "Junior" Moore and Joe Treadwell running for the trustee seats of incumbents Rebecca Reid and Brian Jefferson, who are not seeking re-election.

Carolina Beach Holds Aquatic Center Pool Workshops
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 16 January 2013 14:01
- Written by Super User
The Town of Carolina Beach held two community workshops on January 9th and 10th to take input on a proposed community pool to be located adjacent to the Town's Recreation Center behind Town Hall.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - The Town of Carolina Beach recently mailed out surveys to residents in their monthly utility bills posing questions about a community pool and their swimming activities.
As of January 10, they had received over 200 responses to the surveys.
The survey is designed to solicit feedback for a proposed Aquatic Center community pool to be located adjacent to the Town's Recreation Center behind Town Hall on N. Lake Park Blvd.
The two public workshops were held to take input from citizens. The first on Wednesday January 9th, at 7:00pm at the Town's Recreation Center at 1121 N. Lake Park Blvd behind Town Hall. The second was held Thursday January 10th at 12:30pm at the Katie B. Hines Senior Center on Cape Fear Blvd.
Based on information presented to the Council at their September meeting, the initial capital expenses would likely total $737,500 for an eight-lane, 25-yard pool with shallow area and deep well. Of that total, pool construction would total $257,500 and other items including an auto sanitization system, locker room and admin facility and "year-around cover bubble", lighting, landscaping and other related costs would total the $737,500.
The project would be financed at a municipal interest rate of 3% over 20 years based on 12 monthly payments per year. The project would be paid for by user fees. An annual family pass would likely cost $75. The information sent to Council indicates anticipated 1,250 season pass holders would bring in $93,750 a year. Visitor passes would bring in $15,000 a year. Other uses such as water aerobics instruction, swimming lessons, county school swim team lease, scuba diving classes and other uses would generate a total of $235,750 a year. The average annual cost to the Town is indicated at $9,157 a year.
The Council approved creating an ad-hoc steering committee to help manage the process to create a request for proposals for an Indoor/Outdoor Aquatic Center.
Both workshops enjoyed healthy attendance. During the January 10, meeting at the Senior Center committee member Duke Hagestrom spoke to the public about the project and how they are progressing through research of financials, designs and surveying the public.
Several residents posed questions regarding attendance, ADA accessibility, how much it will cost for residents and tourists to use the facility and the affects of noise on the neighboring residential homes. Parking was also a concern.
Hagestrom said of the 3,750 surveys mailed out in monthly utility bills last month, a couple of hundred had been returned. He said that number is expected to increase.
He said once all of the research and planning is complete, if the Council wishes to proceed it would take six to seven months to complete.
Councilman Steve Shuttleworth explained during the meeting the project would be reviewed by the Town's Planning and Zoning Commission to review items such as parking requirements before proceeding to Council for consideration.
Local resident Rick Knott commented after the meeting, "After listening to the presentation and discussion from the public, I changed my mind. I now favor proceeding to Design Development and looking at the numbers at that point to have a better idea of whether or not the pool can be self sustaining. And I hope it can. Kudos to Duke and the other committee members. They obviously have done their homework."
Debra LeCompte commented, "I can now say I am in favor but, only if the pool can be self sustaining" without costing taxpayer funds.
At the Council's January 8, meeting Hagestrom explained the committee is working on the design phase of the project and further researching the financial figures.
He said Lisle Architecture & Design has given an initial cost-estimate and, "I think when we first came to you it was between seven and eight hundred thousand dollars. The number we've been looking at more recently is probably closer to a million."
He said they are looking at the numbers closely and forecasting future increased cost such as labor.
He said, "We are looking for a solution that, between the access fees, the people paying for their memberships, the people paying to go to their zumba classes, their aerobics classes. Those are the people paying for
the facility, not a burden on our taxpayers. Where all of a sudden your tax bill went up because we built a Taj Mahal pool."
He said, "This is a community project. This isn't some people trying to slam it in. It's just a bunch of volunteers working together trying to get the community's input and working to make this happen."
Hagestrom said the next phase is "Design Development" beyond just renderings of the pool where, "We will actually understand what the pumps will look like, where do they sit in the building" and looking at civil engineering aspects.
Hagestrom asked the Council to consider adding members to their committee because of the level of work that is involved. Additional members could work on issues such as obtaining grant funding.
Mayor Bob Lewis said parking is vital to the project and questioned how it will be addressed with existing parking needs at Town Hall and the Recreation Center.
Hagestrom said the Town is exploring overflow parking at a neighboring church north of Town Hall to facilitate busier events such as swim meets.
The next presentation to the Council is anticipated in March.
The Island Gazette conducted a poll on our website at www.islandgazette.net
The non-scientific poll running for three months posed the question: Do you think the Town of Carolina Beach should build a 25-yard, 8-lane swimming pool adjacent to the Recreation Center behind Town Hall?
222 voted "yes". 184 voted "no". 11 voted "no opinion".
