1 Vol.4 Issue 6 June 2016 Shady Shores News C O M M U N I T Y E V E N T S C O M M I T T E E Message from the Mayor Hello Shady Shores Residents I am humbled to be appointed your mayor. I would like to thank the super staff and Town Council for their support, assistance, and hardworking efforts. Without them, the role of mayor would be very difficult to perform. Thank you. I would also like to thank all of the residents who attended the most recent Town Council meeting. It was inspiring to see the number of people who took the time to attend. I know many of you have an interest and opinions about the ongoing discussions about the fire department options. The Council is doing indepth research, has had presentations from multiple fire departments, discussions with other towns and conversations during Council meetings. The Council is working very diligently to evaluate the current contract and review options to make sure that they select the best option for the Town. The Council always wants to hear what the residents value on this and other topics. It is important for you to express your opinion to the Council via the Council meetings, or phone calls to them. So keep up the interest and I will see many of you at the next council meeting! On another note, I need to mention how important it is to respect traffic barricades. The Town recently had to place barricades on Fritz Lane. The roadbed has washed out from under the asphalt. It is very unsafe and needs repair. The Town engineers, staff, and Council are working to repair the road quickly and correctly. Unfortunately, some people drove around the barricades and some even removed them. It is unsafe and illegal to drive around the barricades or to remove them. Please spread the word that this is a very bad idea, and we should respect the traffic barricades. Also, note the town has installed new traffic gates on South Shady Shores Road to be utilized when the lake floods the road. Looking forward to seeing you at the Council Meetings or hearing from you via . Cindy Aughinbaugh Mayor of the Town of Shady Shores

4 Shady Shores News P a g e 4 The Green Side of Shady Shores by Cecil and Polly The Decision to Lawn The lawn care industry estimates that lawn care costs about $17.0 Billion annually. A bit of history. In the scheme of things, lawns are a recent phenomenon. At first, lawns were only afforded by the wealthy and royalty. The primary reason was the cost of mowing. Until the 1830s, there was no mechanical mower. As late as 1910, the White House lawn was mowed by what? Sheep! Lawns were not popular until the small gasoline powered lawn mower made its debut. Lawns take a lot of resources. The lawn cycle is to plant seed or sod, then add water and fertilizer and more water and wait. Then we must mow the lawn which means a mower, gasoline, and time. Or as 23 million of our neighbors do, hire a service to mow. Then the clippings must be bagged and taken to the landfill, causing another issue. Then guess what, we start back at the mowing cycle in about ten days. But lawns have many hidden costs. The first is over fertilization. Most rivers, downstream of big urban areas experience algae blooms in the summer. People use the theory if a little is good, a lot must be better. The second cost is it takes more to clean water with algae in it. In the LCMUA area, the average annual family water consumption is about 5,000 gallons per month. In some other water systems, there are reports of persons using over 20,000 gallons monthly. There is also an estimate that during the summer months, 50% of the urban water usage is for lawns. There are some beautiful ground covers you can substitute for grass. Another option is to plant native grasses. In our yard, we just do not water grass. I just say if it lives, it lives, and if it dies, it dies. And you know what?.it doesn t die. Question: How big would our lawns be if we still had to use one of these? Cecil and Polly

6 S h a d y S h o r e s N e w s P a g e 6 The Wild Side of Shady Shores Box Turtles Photos & Article by Rebecca Morgan Turtles were underfoot in the age of the dinosaurs and, unlike most terrestrial species; they managed to live through the impact of the massive comet that slammed into the sea off the Yucatan Peninsula 65 million years ago. Their ability to eat whatever is available including dead plants and carrion, allowed them to survive as the dinosaurs died, making turtles the oldest reptiles on earth. As in all cold-blooded reptiles, they are most active between April and October. Reptiles rely on the temperature around them to regulate their body temperature. In mid-day, they are less active retreating to the shade of shrubs or burrows to keep cool. They come out in the milder temperatures of dawn and dusk to search for food. The most common box turtle found in our area is the Ornate Box Turtle. This turtle gets its name from the distinctive yellowish lines radiating across each segment of the dark brownish background of their hard upper shells. Their color is highly variable, but in general you can distinguish the male from the female based on the color of their eyes. Males have bright reddish-orange eyes while females have brown to tan eyes. The thing that makes box turtles so unique is the hinge in their lower shells. This hinge allows them to completely withdraw their head, legs and tail into the shell protecting them from the bite of a coyote, raccoon, fox, crow, skunk or opossum. Unfortunately, it will not protect them from being crushed by a motor vehicle when they try to cross roads. Please watch out for these harmless little creatures as you drive around. You might even consider stopping and giving them a safe ride to the other side if you can do so without putting yourself in danger.
7 S h a d y S h o r e s N e w s P a g e 7 If you decide to help a turtle, you should pick it up carefully by the sides of its shell, and be sure to hold it away from you. Out of fear, turtles will usually empty their bladders when picked up. Also, do not move them to what you think would be a safer place for them to live. A box turtle spends its entire life, which can be up to 50 years, within an area of only a few acres. Being taken from its home range, then released in another range, is catastrophic for this armored homebody. They will spend the rest of their lives desperately searching for their home territory. Due to their long life spans, box turtles do not reach sexual maturity until they are about seven years of age. After mating, the female can store sperm and produce several egg clutches which she deposits in shallow nests she digs in moist well-drained soil. A box turtle may lay several hundred eggs during her lifetime, but usually, only a handful will survive to adulthood. This low survival rate is because after laying the eggs, she abandons the nest, leaving the coming hatchlings to fend for themselves. The hatchlings, being about the size of a quarter, remain close to their birth site through their first fall and winter. This time is a very difficult period for the vulnerable young turtles as they fall prey to hunger, predators, development, agricultural activities and the pet trade. Note: the commercial trade of most turtles in Texas is illegal. Once common throughout the state, recent population declines have been a cause for concern. A project tracking box turtles is looking for Texans to report where these beautiful animals are found. You can help by completing the form at each time you see a box turtle.

A huge thank you to Commissioner Hugh Coleman and Denton Commissioners Court for providing the flood gates seen in the June 21,2016 picture. Although the road appears dry, it must remain closed until it is completely dried out. If the road does not completely dry, more serious damage can occur. The Town Engineer will authorize the opening the road. The new barriers were installed because many motorist have either moved the previous barriers or driven through them.
