 | Attended ASCE meeting and made presentation on CCCSI and Watershed Day.
Got 9 volunteers from ASCE. |
| Contacted Gwen Justice (Lake City) and Charles Jones (Briceville) who are
Boy Scout leaders in the Coal Creek watershed. Each group has volunteered to
host an exhibit on the impacts of garbage dumped into streams at Watershed
Day. |
| Contacted Anna Dirl with the Girl Scouts of America about CCCSI and
Watershed Day. Tracey Armbrister will try to round up GSA volunteers to
assist with joint BSA/GSA exhibits at Watershed Day. As a BSA leader for 10
years with a daughter in GSA, I have always wondered why BSA and GSA don't
work together. Their missions are similar and they don't compete for the
same members. Let's see what happens when they do something together at
Watershed Day. |
| Met with Roger Foster of Coal Creek Mining and Manufacturing (CCMM)
Company about CCCSI and participating in Watershed Day. CCMM owns 73,000
acres in Coal Creek and surrounding watersheds. Mr. Foster agreed to review
information provided on CCCSI and to meet again to explore ways that CCCSI
and CCMM can work together to achieve common goals. |
| Met with Tom Braden, Nikki Kapolka, Kippi Leinhart, Betsy Manly, Rick
Morrow, and others from Briceville and Covenant Health Services about
coordinating Coal Creek Watershed Day 2000 with a health fair and a
community garage sale that were being planned. During this meeting, Kippi
asked if CCCSI efforts addressed flooding. Since local participation is
essential to the efforts of CCCSI and flooding is a concern of local
residents, CCCSI will examine options to address flooding issues. Nikki
stated that the Lake City Family Resource Center at the Lake City Middle
School, which serves Briceville and Lake City, has technical problems with
their computers and requested help in getting them operational. |
| Met Steve Allen of TVA who volunteered to compile data and maps on the
flood study that TVA performed when Coal Creek was channelized from
Briceville to Lake City in the 1970s. As Kippi requested, we will examine
options for addressing flooding issues using this information. |
| As Nikki requested, CCCSI volunteers Carol Moore and Tom Watson visited
the Lake City Middle School and got 4 of the 5 computers operational. Nikki
indicated that Mr. Perry Brown, technology coordinator with the Anderson
County school system, normally handles computer problems, but he has been
off work due to health problems. Carol Moore will contact the Anderson
County School system to see what other arrangements can be made to obtain
help for computer problems in the Briceville and Lake City Schools. |
| The principals of the schools in the watershed, Tom Braden, L.C. Madron,
and Jan Moore have been asked to be responsible for issuing press releases
pertaining to Watershed Day and for being points of contact for the media. |
| Mr. Doug McGill, BFI, agreed to have BFI provide two dumpsters at the Lake
City and Briceville locations for Watershed Day 2000. |
| Met with Byron Begley of Little River Outfitters in Townsend. Mr Begley is
an active member in the Little River Chapter of Trout Unlimited and we asked
for his help in promoting the efforts of CCCSI and Watershed Day. |
| Attended the Conservation Banquet of the Great Smoky Mountain Chapter of
Trout Unlimited in Knoxville to solicit help for the CCCSI effort. |
| Met with Mayor Tim Sharp of Lake City and asked him to invite elected
county/state/federal officials to Watershed Day to explore the potential
economic benefits associated with improving water quality and reducing
flooding in the Coal Creek watershed.
