FEATURESHeritage Initiative Moves ForwardOn December 2, over twenty representatives from arts,cultural, historical, environmental and tourism organizationsfrom across the Dan River basin joined DRBA staff andvolunteers at the Reynolds Homestead to discuss how tomarket this beautiful region to attract tourists, businessesand families. This was the third meeting of the Dan RiverValley Heritage Initiative (DRVHI).Photo by Tiffany Haworth“It was another successful meeting,” said T Butler, cofounderof DRBA and Secretary of the DRBA Board ofDirectors. “DRBA hopes to attract people and businessesto this region by promoting its beautiful natural resourcesand unique cultural attractions. Every organization showedgreat willingness to collaborate and partner to achieve thisvision.”DRVHI Plans for 2012 include a historical drivingtour developed by regional historical societies; an interactivemap on DRBA’s website that highlights paddling, fishing,hiking, cultural, historical and arts attractions; collaborativepromotion of events and services of regional organizations;and a list-serv where DRVHI organizations can shareinformation.“We still have a lot of work to do,” said TiffanyHaworth, DRBA’s Executive Director. “But we are allcommitted to promoting all the Dan River Valley has tooffer and boosting our local economy as a result.”–Tiffany HaworthCome Walk A Shelter Dog!In November more than 30 volunteers broke ground ona new walking trail in Rockingham County. The AnimalShelter Trail links the county’s governmental center withthe new animal shelter, providing a place for volunteers toexercise shelter dogs.“We are veryhappy about this newtrail,” says shelterdirector Kevin Baughn.“It’s a beautiful woodedpath for getting thedogs out, interactingwith people andenjoying some exercise.And of course wellsocializeddogs aremuch more likely to beadopted.”Funding camefrom DRBA, REI, andRockingham County;Prillaman LandscapeDimensions providedmore than $1,000 inin-kind services; andReidsville’s Office CityRockingham Community CollegeScience Club volunteered to buildthe Animal Shelter TrailC.D. and Skyler Prillaman operatedthe trail building machinefurnished Community Coffee. The trail is expected to opento the public next spring.–Jenny EdwardsMore Trails and Improvements inHenry CountyBeaver Creek Reservoir: The new Rock Ridge Trail isboot-and-bike ready, thanks to support from the HarvestFoundation. Beginning at the picnic pavilion parkinglot, the low-impact natural surface trail winds through abeautiful hardwood ridge past rock outcroppings, eventuallymeandering down to the shore of the 750-acre lake, thenback up into the woods to form a one-mile loop. Plans callfor continuing the trail around the shoreline in the future.A new sign at the reservoir, “This is Your DrinkingWater,” explains the purpose of the lake and the importanceof keeping our waterways clean and litter-free. Installedby students from Carlisle School, with support from theCity of Martinsville, this sign attempts to mitigate litterproblems near the reservoir. A partnership with DRBAand the Martinsville Rotary Club will provide plantings toaddress erosion near the parking area.Textile Heritage Trail: An extension of the FieldaleTrail, this is a 2500-foot loop where Henry County’s richcontributions to the textile industry will be showcased.

far from the historic Fieldcrest Cannon factory, the trail wassupported by the Economic Development Corporation andDominion Power and includes a 1200-ft boardwalk, thefirst of its kind on the county. Five interpretive signs willbe installed along the trail to provide users a sense of thearea’s importance in providing sweatshirts, socks, towels andlinens to our nation. So much history right under our feet!Roy Mitchell Memorial Trail: Yet another new project,Phase I of this trail at Lauren Mountain Preserve will beready for hikers by the new year. The half-mile trail includesa scenic bridge across a small tributary of the Smith River,an easy out and back trail along the river, and beautiful viewsof rock outcroppings and the sycamore and beech treesalong the mountain flanks. Lauren Mountain Preserve is theproperty of Dr. David Jones, whose generosity in grantingan easement has made the trail possible. When fundingbecomes available, Phase II will take hikers up the ridge andacross the top of the mountain to form a loop trail. Access isprovided at a pull-off on Wells Hollow drive near the TrentHill Bridge and the Bassett Canoe Access.River Access: The Smith River Sports Complex canoe accessramp area has been improved with the help of volunteer laborand Henry County. A new Eagle Scout project will installan observation deck nearby. Plans to improve the existingtrails include additional river view areas, observation decksand benches.–Brian Williams and Krista HodgesTrout in the Classroom: Kids andthe River‘Tis the season for giving – precious little bundles of browntrout eggs, that is! Bundles of about 200 eggs were deliveredto each of 30 eagerly awaiting classrooms, officially kickingoff the 7 th season of Trout in the Classroom.The eggs are eye-ups at this point, meaning that darkeye spots and even some movement can be seen within theegg, promising that some eggs will hatch before Christmasbreak! Right after they hatch, the next stage of the trout’slife cycle is known as the alevin, which has a yolk sac as itssource of food for the next few weeks.When the kids return from break, excitement andeducation continue as they watch these tiny little guysgrow over the next few months. The students will learnhow to care for the fingerlings and grow to understand thatwithout someone to take responsibility for their care, theywill not survive. The students will also monitor the waterquality and learn how an ecosystem functions. Once thestudents recognize their connection with the brown troutand the world around them, they often want to help keepour waterways and environment healthy.In October, thanks to a partnership with theMartinsville Speedway, NASCAR driver Jimmie Johnsonvisited a TIC tank at Rich Acres Elementary and thentravelled with students to the Smith River to release thetrout fingerlings! This event had wide media coverage, andMr. Johnson expressed great interest in the program.At a recent Smith River Trout Unlimited meeting,state biologist Scott Smith reported higher numbers ofBrown Trout in the river. The current practice of bringingone generator at a time online at Philpott helps enhance thefishery through reduced scouring and increased trout foodsupply. Additional improvement will come with streambank restoration and stabilization to reduce silt in the river.The state is considering permitting release of some TICfingerlings below Martinsville Dam, where Brown Troutare surviving well.–Krista Hodges, Wayne KirkpatrickA Look at Fracking in the DanRiver BasinThe Dan River Basin may soon be opened to natural gasextraction by fracking. According to the gas industry, naturalgas provides “clean” energy that will create tens of thousandsof jobs. However, a careful look at its environmental andeconomic impacts reveals serious downsides.Natural gas is considered clean because, for electricitygeneration, it produces about half the carbon emissions ofcoal. However, the drilling and fracking technologies usedto release gas trapped deep in shale beds draws millions ofgallons of water, threatens ground and surface waters, disruptsnatural and scenic areas, and requires the construction ofroads, pipelines and noisy compressor stations.For some, environmental impacts of drilling may seemacceptable trade-offs for economic gain. Landowners hopeleasing and royalty contracts will provide income. The gasindustry promises jobs in regions, like the Dan River Basin, thatdesperately need them. However, many landowners in otherstates regret signing such contracts. They have been saddled withhidden fees and “production costs.” In some cases the companieshave left behind pools of contaminated water contained only byplastic liners and a thin layer of soil, thus meeting contractualobligations for “restoring” drilling sites. Landowners have had topay for damages to land, crops, livestock and water.As for jobs, out-of-state temporary workers fill most ofthe higher-paying positions. A Penn State study found thatthe number of jobs created by drilling in Pennsylvania wasabout half of industry projections. Further, staff members at theEnergy Information Administration (EIA) doubt the industry’sprojections for profitable shale gas extraction. One EIA analystlikened them to a “giant Ponzi scheme.”Fracking is now illegal in North Carolina, but the6Winter 2012 • danriver.org

The final reportwill be presented to the legislature in May 2012.More information, including a map, can be found atwww.portal.ncdenr.org/web/guest.–Sarah LaddStewardship Update – LandfillDRBA’s opposition to the Special Use Permit for theproposed landfill on Dan River just west of Eden continueson its projected track. The 1,700-acre property beingconsidered for a regional landfill has 4 miles of river frontage.In September, on behalf of DRBA and adjoining neighbors,DRBA’s attorney filed objections to the Rockingham CountyPlanning Department’s acceptance of the application and itsinterpretation of the local zoning ordinance. This case washeard by Rockingham County’s Board of Adjustment onNovember 14. A 6-5 majority of the Board of Adjustmentagreed with DRBA’s position; however, to overturn thePlanning Staff ’s actions we needed to receive 9 out of 11votes.DRBA will be appealing this decision by RockinghamCounty to the Superior Court in early January. At this timeno further action has been taken on the Special Use Permitapplication.Please assist our legal efforts to continue opposing thelocation of a landfill on the Dan River by sending a donationto DRBA’s Stewardship Fund. We must raise approximately$25,000 to continue to oppose approval of the Special UsePermit application that may be considered by RockinghamCounty to allow a landfill on this property.Send your contribution to DRBA, 413 ChurchStreet, Suite 401, Eden, NC 27288, or donate online atwww.danriver.org/Members/Gifts_Donations.

It will make an excellent trip, especially forartists and history enthusiasts.Caswell County Heritage Calendar: Just in time forthe Brightleaf Hoedown and the holidays, DRBA internHillary White helped create the Caswell County HeritageCalendar featuring photos of places in the county alongsidequotes from famous authors. Response to the calendar hasbeen very good.Multi-use Trail System Expands: On October 22,volunteers cleared the first loop of the hybrid trail systemin Yanceyville beside Oakwood Elementary School. Aftersome stumps are removed, mountain bikers can join thewalkers and joggers already using the new trail. Over 2 milesare planned for this trail, which should progress rapidly withcontinued volunteer assistance.–Chad HallMillerCoors Stewardship DayIn honor of WaterStewardship month,over 15 volunteers fromMillerCoors participatedin a cleanup andbeatification effort atDraper Landing Accesson the Dan River inOctober. Organized byPhoto by Tiffany HaworthDRBA and MillerCoors,with help from the City of Eden, they picked up litter alongthe river and planted trees.Drew Lucas, MillerCoors environmental health andsafety awareness representitive, commented, “It’s importantto us at MillerCoors, where water is used in every part ofthe brewing process, to keep our water clean. We want tomake sure we’re doing our part to maintain and preserve ournatural resources.”This is the third year of MillerCoors’ participationwith DRBA, with earlier projects at Island Ford Landingand Leaksville Landing. MillerCoors 10 brewery locationsand corporate facilities across the country partner withlocal non-profit organizations and host volunteer eventsdesigned to improve water quality every year. “Water is ourmost important resource and key to a secure future for ourbusiness and the communities where we operate. For years,our goal has been to brew and package more beer whileusing less water,” said MillerCoors Chief Executive OfficerLeo Kiely. “Given our roots near the Rocky Mountains andon the shores of Lake Michigan, we are mindful of ourenvironmental footprint and take water very seriously.”Stewardship Days are just one way DRBA partnerswith local businesses. DRBA takes groups of employees ormanagement teams on paddling or hiking trips, conductsin-house workshops, and develops sustainability initiativesthat save companies money.If your company wants to help protect our naturalresources-and inspire employees, build customer loyalty andincrease your bottom line-please call the DRBA office nearyou or email thaworth@danriver.org for more information.–Tiffany HaworthRockingham County PathwaysDRBA and Piedmont Triad Regional Council (PTRC)are working with Rockingham County citizens to createa master plan for trails, with support from Reidsville AreaFoundation, the county and all municipalities. Six publicworkshops, other presentations, and an online survey arecollecting local input.Tourists cite recreational trails as a top priority forvisiting a location. A trails master plan on a locality’s web sitetells prospective residents and investors that a communityvalues qualityof life andhas a visionfor the future.Moreover, tenmiles of rail trailyield $500,000average annualbenefit to alocal economy,and homes nearr e c r e a t i o n a ltrails are more Wentworth officials participate in thetrail workshopvaluable thancomparable homes elsewhere.As our economy diversifies, localities are increasinglyplanning amenities, such as trails, that attract knowledgebasedcompanies.

AdventuresOctober 15 at Singletree“Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I werea bird, I would fly about the world seeking successive autumns.”–George EliotFor many of us, autumn is our favorite time of year. Bythe time this is being read, autumn 2011 will be a recentmemory. My wish is that the clarity and brightness of aperfect October day in the North Carolina foothills stillreverberates with those of us privileged to participate in thehike at Singletree Gun & Plough.For a DRBA first-time hiker, it was a greatopportunity to make some new, nature-loving friends, aswell as renew some old acquaintances. I’m grateful to ourhostess for generously sharing this pristine, private propertyand soaring vistas. And, what a lovely light lunch DRBA’sstaff provided for us hikers – just perfect!Even though the trail was steep and a bit slipperyhere and there, we all descended safely through the earlyfall leaves dappled in vibrant sunlight to the banks of theDan. The river was quiet, moving slowly at a friendly pace,beckoning us to explore its shore. I imagined the nativetribes and early settlers who must have enjoyed this spot.Hikers’ voices drifted through the woods – shouts, chatterand the ringing clarity of a child’s voice. Even though Ifound myself a bit breathless during the ascent, it seemeda happy time for all – young, older and in-between – awayfrom the humdrum of our daily lives.Thank you, DRBA, for introducing me to thisbeautiful part of our state and the opportunity here to sharemy reflections. I look forward to our next hike and seeingeveryone there as well!–Patricia MaddenFrom Marrowbone to Mitchell onNovember 5Hug the rock. No, it doesn’t mean to start a meaningfulrelationship; it’s good advice if your kayak gets stuck. Thiswas just one useful safety tip Wayne Kirkpatrick gave thegroup about to venture down the Smith River on a cold,sunny November Saturday.Gathering at Marrowbone Creek were 19 people ofall backgrounds and races, but with this in common: a loveof the environment and a passion for paddling. Everyonewas friendly and supportive. The river’s icy water was calmwhere we put in; little did I know that ripples were aroundthe bend.The first white water I saw, I felt a little pang of panic,visualizing my kayak tipping over and dumping me into thechilly water. I carefully watched how everyone maneuveredthrough the rocks and ripples. Wayne’s helpful hints echoedin my head. I paddled through the ripple, got stuck on arock, hugged it, and made it successfully through.At the two-thirds mark of the trip, the group divided.Some went to the lunch rock, while others paddled upLeatherwood Creek to see waterfalls. I chose the lunch rock.Basking in the sun, munching a sandwich, and enjoyinggood conversation was just the break I needed. Eventuallyeveryone returned and relaxed in the sunshine.By the last part of the trip my confidence had grown,and with encouragement from everyone in the group, I feltat ease in my kayak and more comfortable going throughdifficult areas of the river. I was able to enjoy the beautifulfoliage and bird life.At the end of the trip Brian Williams greeted us atthe edge of the river, and everyone helped bring the vesselsup the hill to our waiting cars. Joan Ragland’s pumpkinsquares were the perfect ending to a perfect day.I thoroughly enjoyed the day and appreciatedeveryone’s company. This is a great event that DRBAsponsors, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Youwill definitely see me at a DRBA outing again!–Courtney HaworthDecember 3 rd along the Mayoand North Mayo RiversOn a sunny Saturday, DRBA members, friends, and guestsmet on a back road in Mayo River State Park. We set offon a hike following along the Mayo River and successfullycrossed Fall Creek off the Mayo River, with all 44 hikersremaining dry. Following the creek, we encountered abreathtaking waterfall over worn rocks into a basin. Here,we learned about the history of the Deshazo Mill that usedthis water to power its wheel.After time for photographs, we headed back along thecreek and resumed following the Mayo River. We passedthe confluence of the North Mayo and South Mayo rivers,hiking along the North Mayo. We reached a large rockoutcrop, overlooking the river and covered in ferns.

We also sawthe freshly chopped stumps andtrees of some resident beavers.We safely returned to a tray fullPhoto by Lucas Conkleof brownies after a beautiful day of fellowship and nature.–Samanthe Tivera fussy Kingfisher, congenial conversation, and that sense ofaccomplishment that comes with completing a worthwhiletask together.As always with litter clean-up, some strange itemswere found: an unbroken automobile headlight, loads ofplastic bottles, and one life-size Curious George, gratefulfor his rescue from the river.All in all, twenty-one bags of garbage collected, alittle more practice in river negotiation for this novice, andthe realization that whatever the threat to this river basin,whether garbage or greater, teamwork is the key, and thisgroup can accomplish it!–Susan LassiterRiver Clean-up: Observations of aNon-MemberDespite forecasts of blustery weather, eight good citizensmet on October 1 st for DRBA’s annual participation in NCBig Sweep. The Smith River in Eden was chosen for littercollection in what turned out to be a most pleasant andproductive effort. T and Lindley Butler led the group, withcareful instruction on safety, plus interesting informationabout the history, natural and human, along that stretch ofthe river.So, how does one accomplish river clean-up of litter,mostly along the banks, from a moving canoe or kayak?Teamwork. Whether fishing out trash, holding the bag, orsteadying a canoe for another to step out and collect plasticbottles, this is not a task accomplished solo.Rewards?
