It also witnessed the Kentucky Riverkeeper (KYRK) initiative. With the help of concerned citizens and partnership organizations, the Center for Appalachian Studies at EKU and the Boonesboro Boat Club, KYRK is off to a great start and welcomes new memberships. You don’t need a boat to join the crew. Just bring yourself and come see what we see ... there is something new around every bend. The goals of KYRK are to: Educate: people about the river’s unique environments and communities Advocate: for the river’s health by being a visible presence in the watershed Restore: the Kentucky’s degraded tributaries and stream sections Preserve: the river’s ecological, recreational, and scenic beauty Protect: the river and its communities for future generations Monitor: for compliance of existing water quality regulations Another meaningful program is PACE, which deals with land conservation in Kentucky. Its efforts are to help establish as much green space as possible along the Kentucky River corridor, and KYRK is trying to generate as many PACE program applications as possible. By just filling out an application with no further obligations, you can help KYRK raise money for our non-profit corporation. KYRK is an independent, 501(c)3 corporation. There are possible tax incentives and/or deductions if your application is accepted. For more information on the KYRK Membership Drive, or to schedule an appointment to fill out a PACE application, please contact Heather Crawley, Executive Director, Kentucky Riverkeeper, at 859-661-5679. I look forward to working with you to enjoy this wonderful river we have in our own backyard. Text Box: Page 2 June 2002 Text Box: Kentucky Riverkeepers Text Box: Maintenance Fees Boone’s Trace is a private development. As required under the covenants and restrictions, maintenance fees are used to pay for upkeep, repair, and general maintenance. When fees are delinquent and remain unpaid, it creates a hardship and additional cost for the entire association. Follow-up billings, letters from the association, and letters from attorneys all cost money, which comes from the association coffers. Chasing delinquent accounts is an expense that has to be shared by the entire association. By making the decision to purchase here, you have accepted the rules and should be respectful of your neighboring property owners with regard to the obligations in the covenants. Text Box: From the Realtors … This year has been very exciting and busy at the Boone’s Trace Sales Office! Sales of our building lots have been steady, and we welcome each and every property owner to Boone’s Trace. We have seen quite a few property owners start construction on their new homes. It’s exciting for us to watch as the development grows. On the real estate front, we have two changes: Pat Borg has changed companies. She is now with Realty Executives Premier. She will be providing the same quality service; the only change is the name of the company that she’s affiliated with. All telephone numbers remain the same. Ginny Stephens’ licensed assistant, Tighe Estes, will be living on the Boone’s Trace property this summer, which will enable him to provide service on a 24/7 basis to buyers and sellers. If you need any assistance with property when the Sales Office is closed, you may find Tighe in Unit #1 of the townhomes next door to the golf clubhouse. Feel free to contact any of us at any time if you need assistance. Pat Borg 421-9911 Ginny Stephens 623-5036 Tighe Estes 582-5071 Text Box: Community News, continued
