Golden West Way

[hotcoffee]

I see ....by the signs at the entrance to Chesapeake Ranch Estates... that Golden West Way is closed to thru traffic until further notice....

What's that all about?

How's it going to impact the school bus routes?

You can always call the Board of Education, the county or call the office. All agencies have been notified of the cliff condition under the road. The only issue now are the Army Corps of Engineers and of course the Federal Government relating to the environmental laws which protect the tiger beetle habitat... The safety of our Children comes first as well as the safety of residents that use that area of the road. That is the only recourse we have until the Environmentalist change their way of thinking...
To date, the Tiger Beetles continue to take precedence.

My Opinion:
Much the same way as a criminal having more rights than a victim... We are expected to run from them for our own protection... If you are living along the cliffs, you are expected to abandon your own homes for your own protection? I'm sorry but I think the safety of humans should take precedence over criminals and bugs... We should be allowed to SQUASH them both!

On a side note:
I was notified in email that there will be a Town Meeting regarding the Tiger Beetle issue at the Prince Frederick Public Library but was not told the dates. Instead it stated that the information will be posted in the Round Up Times. I just hope everyone that is concerned gets the Newsletter in plenty of time to re-adjust their schedules to make the meeting.

Maybe those who don't read the forums might be able to clarify this for us....

Amen. It's about time someone either asked the big questions or alerted the membership about what is going on.
Once again the environmentalist whack jobs figure that animals have more rights than humans. I'm sorry that is completely off center and just plain wrong. If they want to live that way let them, just not where they can force the rest of us to adhere to their views when most people don't subscribe. Property owners have rights too but apparently not real ones or the ones that they do have are being transferred to the beetle. It's time for the owners stood up and told those in charge they aren't going to take it anymore.
As for the possible meeting, why is this information being held back by either the county, the Feds or the BOD? Don't you think this is information that we owners should have immediately. What are the chances that the information is being held back for nefarious purposes? Shouldn't this be in the Recorder or on the boards seeing as it affects everyone in CRE?

If people are dumb enough to build a house/buy a house on the edge of a cliff and expect it to stay there forever....they deserve to lose the house to the bay. Idiots.

It's one thing to have you're property erode and another to be told you can't shore up your property because some bug MIGHT live nearby

Ok do we know what the costs for the engineers will be to POACRE? Does this dovetail in the whale litigation? Will this be discussed at the next board meeting or will it be kept under wraps? Inquiring minds want to know.

From what I understand, the meeting is being held to address the issues that are being experienced up and down the shoreline. State and County Officials as well as other individuals and agencies have been working together to have the meeting. I don't believe they were trying to keep the information from the public. I believe this problem effected a small group of people and over time more and more have become effected which is the reason they are addressing it.

Many CRE, Drum Point and Scientist Cliffs residents were aware and by word of mouth through their friends, family and Home Owners Associations did get the word out, so many of us were aware of it... I guess our voices weren't loud enough?

In addition, the oversight of cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay was in the hands of the State but has since been turned over to the Federal Government. I understand something similar took place involving the Great Lakes in Michigan and once the Feds stepped in, the Lakes improved dramatically...

I wonder how the Tiger Beetle issue plays into that scenario?
The Lakes didn't have cliffs and Tiger Beetles!
For the Chesapeake, Only time will tell.

I haven't heard anything about this. Word that affects those who live here should be louder. There is nothing in the paper about this nor has it been mentioned anywhere else that I am aware of. And yet you say that many already know of this possible meeting? I guess those who are in the know are the ones who got the word and many of those keep it close to the vest so they can present the information their own way without anyone else being aware or having any input. But then again that is the nature of the current "transparent" BOD. We know nothing, hear nothing and see nothing. The information released is only what they want us to know and is presented in a way that will only allow for the barest of facts in the hopes that the masses will swallow it hook line and stinker.
