Law introduced to replenish beaches

Posted on by

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) - New legislation is set to protect the beaches of Chesapeake Bay by speeding up replenishment requests.

The City of Virginia Beach denied Sheldon Wetherington the request to build a bulkhead by his home at Chick's Beach fearing it would lead to even more erosion on the beach.

Residents of Chick's Beach have watched their community beaches wash away from storms and surges for years.

"It's going away. Pretty soon, you'll be walking on water," President of the Chesapeake Beach Civic League Brad Sike said. "If we get the sand and the beach is extended like they do at the main beach in Virginia we'll be in good shape."

Senate Bill 946 and House Bill 1531 ask agencies that grant requests for sand replenishment to speed up the process of the applications.

Residents would like sand to be mined from the Chesapeake Bay and filled onto Chick's Beach. It's similar to the what the city has done for other beaches.

"They pump sand from the Rudee Inlet [at the main beach] and made that beach beautiful and wide," Sike said.

Senate Bill 946 was approved in a Committee on Thursday, and is working its way through the full Senate.

Orchid to chip in on dune restoration on beaches

Posted on by

ORCHID Dune restoration along Orchid beaches got a shot in the arm Thursday when the Orchid Town Board voted to cover about 30 percent of the cost of 20,000 cubic yards of new sand.

Up to $138,604 in dune restoration costs will be paid by the town out of reserve funds originally earmarked for the building of a new town hall. The remainder of the $462,000 will come from beachfront homeowners, condominium owners and the Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club.

The beach and dunes lost about 10 to 12 feet of sand in Hurricane Sandy, according to Orchid Mayor Hal Ofstie. The damage was defined by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection as "Condition IV, Major Dune Erosion," and includes most of the sand put on the beach by the county in 2012.

On Oct. 26, the hurricane grazed Florida's Atlantic coast, causing widespread erosion and destruction of dune crossovers, beaches and boardwalks. The state Department of Environmental Protection on Oct. 31 issued an emergency order allowing municipalities to repair such damage without state permits.

"It appears that neither the county, state nor FEMA will provide any funding to replace the sand lost, or to provide any other protective measures for Orchid beaches in 2013," said Ofstie. "The dunes appear to be vulnerable should a hurricane or similar event occur this year. While the county has the responsibility for the beaches on an ongoing basis, for this year at a minimum, any repair effort would be Orchid's effort."

The Town Board took action on dune restoration after their attorney, Anthony Garganese, advised Thursday that it would be legal as long as there was a "municipal purpose" for the expenditure.

"Declaring dune preservation would serve as a municipal purpose," said Garganese. "There is currently a declaration of emergency and the expenditures would be authorized."

Council member Bud Oatway asked Garganese what specific public purpose would be served by the expenditure since the town has no assets other than streetlights, and all of the property where the dunes are located are private lands.

"I'm having trouble getting my hands around what the public purpose is," said Oatway.

After the hurricanes of 2004, homeowners along Orchid's beaches had to pay for dune restoration without any help from the town. Orchid resident Joe Lawyer said he thought it was "appalling" that homeowners paid to protect an asset of the entire community.

Out'n'About: Las Cruces astronomy clubs offer glimpse into infinity

Posted on by

Local astronomy organizations are preparing for a new year of predictable and not so predictable celestial events, offering plenty of opportunities for Las Cruces to join in the fun, and look toward the open New Mexico skies.

NMSU Department of Astronomy

The astronomy department at New Mexico State University has 15 research faculty who delve into a variety of different aspects of astronomy, from the sun and plants to our solar system, stars, galaxies and the structure of the universe.

They operate the Tombaugh Observatory, located on the NMSU campus, as well as the Apache Point observatory in Sun Spot, New Mexico (southeast of Las Cruces in the Sacramento Mountains), a facility with four telescopes.

"The research areas are very diverse," said Dr. Nancy Chanover, associate professor in the department.

In between researching the other-worldly, department faculty teach graduate and undergraduate courses to aspiring astronomers and conducting public outreach and community service.

"We also respond to requests that come to us from various organizations, school groups and local clubs that want to have a hosted education event at the observatory," Chanover said.

Planned upcoming public events at the campus include an open house at 7 p.m., Jan. 18 featuring the a look at the crescent Moon, Orion the Hunter and the Gemini Twins (Castor and Pollux).
