Museum moves historic EwingBordeaux Cottage to town square By Luke Webber Intern

On Thursday, Jan. 11, Wolfe House & Building Movers moved the Ewing-Bordeaux Cottage from 405 N. Lumina Ave. to a lot on the town’s historic square. Engineers moved the house south on Lumina Avenue, across the Causeway Bridge and west on Causeway Drive to the lot next to the town’s visitor center. Engineers installed a latticework of steel beams underneath the dwelling that were used for support during the relocation process. The transport system did not require the use of a truck, instead using a remote control for propulsion purposes. The museum provided coffee on the porch of the Chamber of Commerce Building/Visitors Center for spectators who watched the move, which began at 10 a.m. and took about 4-6 hours. Wrightsville Beach Museum of History officials said the cottage move would serve as a fundraising platform as it continued to raise money for renovations and other museum activities. Walt Lackey, president of Lackey Builders, the company that helped prepare the cottage for the move, said the building still had sand from 1996’s Hurricane

WB considers options as more cell tower applications are approved By Lena Moriarty Intern

With Wrightsville Beach seeing state approval of several new cell towers on state rights-of-way, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Alderman discussed how it could influence the appearance and potential location of these towers. The new towers were one of two telecommunications projects expected to improve service throughout Wrightsville Beach, while also bringing with them several new towers, as well as construction in the South Harbor Island neighborhood. At the Jan. 11 board meeting, the aldermen asked Town Attorney John Wessel what options it had in regulating the proposed new towers after he said several new applications were coming. The North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation in July that allows the Department of Transportation to approve small cell tower facilities in state highway rights-of-way, despite objections from local authorities. “It’s an astounding number of towers,” Wessel said. “The issue is we have little authority to say no.” During the meeting, the aldermen were presented a plan from telecommunication provider Fibertech to replace an existing 24-foot utility pole on East Salisbury Street near Johnny Mercer’s Pier with a 43-foot small cell tower. The new tower will be fitted with a street light while also providing increased wireless phone and internet service on the beach. It’s the third new cell tower proposal for Wrightsville Beach

Fran under the building. “This was very exciting for us,” Lackey said of the move. Wolfe Movers moved the 1924 Bordeaux Cottage, formerly located at 405 North Lumina Avenue to the Wrightsville beach Historic Square in the 300 block of West Salisbury Street. The Bordeaux Cottage was donated by Chris and Debbie Strickland to the Wrightsville Beach Museum

Hat show brings springtime feel amid winter blues By Jana Mackin Contributing Writer

Winter poured rain outside the Blockade Runner Beach Resort on Friday, but a spring buzz warmed the New Hanover Garden Club’s afternoon tea which featured flowers, high tea delicacies, music and a fashion show of hats. Presented by Jan Wutkowski, milliner at aMuse Artisanal Finery, the

garden club members modeled the creations, gliding among tables of nearly 60 attendees during the hourlong fashion show. Whether a lavender straw creation embellished with a large soft silk ivory rose and vintage face veiling; a hand sculpted green parisisal demi chapeau; or a dramatic black sinamay straw Perching hat with silver lurex thread and embellished with black coq feathers, aMuse designed hats showcased

this inaugural afternoon fundraiser. “I feel like a princess,” said Cheryl Delk, club member modeling the black Perching creation. “I haven’t worn a hat in years. It brings spring into the dead of winter.” As part of the second annual Art & The Bloom Afternoon at the resort, the garden club held their first-ever afternoon tea parties on Friday and n See HATS Page 2

Candidate for WB’s state house district to focus on beaches, water, schools By Mel Beasley Intern

Protecting the coastline will help maintain the county’s economy by encouraging continued tourism to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, said a Democratic candidate who will challenge Republican Rep. Ted Davis, Jr. for the 19th district seat in the North Carolina General Assembly. “I want to make sure to stop things that might damage the beach, and perhaps look at more cost-effective technologies designed to help restore and maintain the beaches” said

Marcia Morgan, who will be Davis’ first challenger in two terms. Morgan announced her 2018 campaign for the District 19 seat last week, which includes Wrightsville Beach, Myrtle Grove and Monkey Junction and the other county beach towns. Davis’ last challenger was Democrat Emilie Swearingen, former mayor of Kure Beach, whom he defeated by nearly 20 percent in the 2012 election, according to Ballotpedia. Morgan, a retired educator and U.S. Army colonel, served for 25 years before retiring from the military, where her experience

included two assignments at the Pentagon. “While working for the Chief of Staff of the Army, I had the opportunity to learn first-hand how to make Morgan difficult decisions at high profile levels,” said Morgan, who added that she had been selected for command in every commissioned rank held. n See MORGAN Page 2

Planning board side steps height limit on CAMA Land Use Plan By Terry Lane Staff Writer

The Wrightsville Beach Planning Board approved a new draft land use plan designed to help guide the town’s future development, but not before entertaining a debate over the town’s 40-foot building limit was revisited. In approving the draft plan, the planning board didn’t recommend to the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen that it should change the land use plan, but it did note for the board that there were discussions on the height limit during the Jan. 2 planning board meeting. The state-mandated Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) Lane Use Plan was developed over

the course of several meetings during 2017 by a steering committee selected by the town’s board of aldermen. The town’s land use plan was last updated in 2005. “The intent of the plan is for Wrightsville Beach to stay the course,” Dale Holland, principal of Holland Consulting Planners, told the planning board. “There was no appetite for substantial change.” However, in presenting that 213-page document, one member of the steering committee urged the planning board to adjust the plan’s language to create more consideration for exceeding the town’s height limit in mixed use developments. Architect Frank Smith told the planning board

Saturday afternoon. “Both of our afternoon teas were at or almost at capacity. We served afternoon tea to 115 people,” said Barb Bittler, club member and co-chair of Art & the Bloom. “The attendees seemed to love the delicious food, the amazing array of lovely hats during the fashion show by aMuse, the melodious tunes by Susan Savia, and the charming tea pot arrangements that were given as door prizes.” For some, the rain added a decidedly English atmosphere to this event that offered such savories as cucumber and dill or

English curry chicken salad finger sandwiches and such sweets as Devon shire cream and raspberry jam scone or mini raspberry and chocolate eclairs. Attendees said the millinery buzz made it feel as though they were taking tea across the pond. “It’s a British day, British afternoon tea, British hats and British weather,” said Jinjer Richardson, model and club member. “I love ladies hats. I love helping people and I love dressing up. It makes you feel really fancy and elite.” Funding their community projects was a major impetus behind the garden club’s second annual Art & The Bloom exhibition and competition, which showcased floral creations from local

designers inspired by fine art from private collections and the Wilmington A r t Association. The fourday event featured e x p e r t courses in floral design, botanical illustration and art, building terrariums, millinery fashion shows, afternoon tea, raffles, and a presentation-book signing.

Bittler explained that 32-member club founded in 2014 is federated through the National Garden Club and Garden C l u b s of North Carolina.

that language in the plan that would let the town “consider limited height increases” in mixed-use areas was removed. The future land use plan designates five areas where mixed-use development was permissible, including the town’s central business district, the “marina district” around Marina and Keel streets, the commercial areas on Causeway Drive, and the commercial areas by Johnnie Mercer’s and Crystal piers. The planning board includes three members that were also on the land use steering committee. One of those members, Jeff DeGroote, said that the issue of height increases for mixed-use areas was voted on and rejected by the steering committee. “It was surprising to me that it was taken out,” Smith said of the language, noting that it applied only to mixed-use commercial districts, and not

a height limit on residential buildings, which he said he supported. But DeGroote said that there already were options for businesses that wanted to exceed the 40-foot height limit, including getting the board of aldermen to approve a text amendment to town ordinances that would allow for height increases. “There is an avenue to get it done,” DeGroote said. There was some acknowledgement on the planning board that building height adjustments could be needed for some locations. “There are some places where it would be appropriate,” said planning board member Jim Smith. “In some places where a building has become obsolete, a few extra feet could get another floor in to make it work.”

The dollies allowed for more flexibility in traversing corners in that the dollies appeared to “crab” around corners.

since the bill was passed in July, with Continued from Page 1 the DOT having already granted approval for towers near the intersection of Waynick Boulevard and Bellamy Street and in the right-of-way near the Heidi Trask Drawbridge. Some aldermen raised concerns over the appearance of the towers and how they would affect views on Wrightsville Beach. “I’m just concerned about those that obstruct views on residential property,” said alderman Elizabeth King. “Residents don’t want to wake up and see that in their view the next day.” Wessel told the board that it could have more influence over the look and possible placement of the towers if it passes an ordinance addressing cell tower appearance. Wessel and Town Manager Tim Owens said they were evaluating options on what type of ordinance the town could pass. “The best thing we can do right now is take the laws that have been handed to us and try to reconfigure them,” alderman Ken Dull said. Meanwhile, the board asked Wessel to improve an agreement with AT&T that would allow the telecommunications provider the ability to bore trenches and lay fiber underneath town rights-of-way in the South Harbor Island neighborhood. The project will bore underneath the live oaks on Live Oak Drive and create construction on other nearby streets, including Sunset Avenue, Coral Drive and Auditorium Circle. While the agreement would reimburse the town for any damages to its facilities caused by AT&T’s construction, the board asked Wessel to strengthen protections for private property owners. Owens described AT&T as being “very aggressive” with configuring a deal and starting operations. The company has agreed to use an arborist of the board’s choosing.

While she agrees that her career path is a sharp contrast to Davis’ experience, Morgan said that her military background is highly relevant to the position. “I was known for the ability to get things done, and I think that’s critical,” Morgan said. “I’m not saying that I would not have a lot to learn, but I am a pretty quick learner. I have been to different countries and seen different governments, and that has given me an open mind.” Addressing the ongoing GenX water contamination issue in the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority would be one of her top priorities, Morgan said. Government officials wasted valuable time researching the chemicals instead of making efforts to remove it from the water system, she added. “If someone is breaking into your home, you stop the intruder,” Morgan said. “And then you get the security company involved so you can prevent the scenario from happening again.” Morgan said she will also focus on improving the North Carolina public school system, and ensuring equal education and work

Not only did moving the Ewing-Bordeaux cottage allow the Wrightsville Beach Museum to preserve this special building, but it also made it possible for the Museum to expand its programs, exhibits and other services to the community.

Opinion Red Cross blood shortage prompts urgent call for blood and platelet donations during National Blood Donor Month Severe weather forces blood drive cancellations causing thousands of donations to go uncollected This January, National Blood Donor Month, the American Red Cross has an urgent need for blood and platelet donors of all blood types to make an appointment to give now and help address a winter blood donation shortage. Severe winter weather has had a tremendous impact on blood donations already this year, with more than 150 blood drives forced to cancel causing over 5,500 blood and platelet donations to go uncollected. This is in addition to seasonal illnesses, such as the flu, and hectic holiday schedules collectively contributing to more than 28,000 fewer donations than what was needed in November and December. In North Carolina, 23 blood drives were forced to cancel or close early due to last week’s winter storm, causing nearly 600 donations to go uncollected. “Even temporary disruptions to blood and platelet donations can diminish the availability for hospital patients,” said Clifford Numark, senior vice president, Red Cross Blood Services. “It’s the blood on the shelves that helps save lives in an emergency, and that’s why we’re asking eligible individuals to make an appointment to give blood or platelets today.” While serving local hospitals is the first priority, the Red Cross can move blood products to where they’re needed most. This allows generous donors throughout the country to contribute to the national blood supply and potentially help patients locally and in storm-affected areas. While all blood types are urgently needed, there is a more critical need for the following blood and donation types right now: • Platelets: The clotting portion of blood primarily given to cancer patients during treatment and always in great demand. • Type O negative: The blood type that can be transfused to almost everyone and is what doctors reach for in trauma situations. • Type B negative: The blood type that can be transfused to type B Rh-positive and negative patients. • Type AB: The plasma type that can be transfused to almost everyone and can be donated through a platelet or plasma donation, where available, or during a regular blood donation. How to help Eligible donors can find a blood or platelet donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donation appointments and completion of a RapidPass are encouraged to help speed up the donation process. RapidPass lets donors complete the pre-donation reading and answer the health history questionnaire online, on the day of their donation, by visiting redcrossblood.

She received 14 units of blood and seven units of plasma before she and her newborn son, Rusher, were flown to a nearby hospital. There, she received additional transfusions, and Rusher was moved to the neonatal intensive care unit, where he also received a blood transfusion to increase his red blood cell count. “My family and I are so thankful for all the blood donors,” said Hrouda. “It is safe to say that without their time and donations, Rusher and I would not be here today. Because of donors, I get to watch my kids grow up and become the adults they dream of being.” The Hroudas are just two examples of the many patients who depend on blood and platelet donors. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant patients, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer or sickle cell disease may all require blood to save their lives. The Red Cross must collect more than 13,000 blood donations every day for patients at approximately 2,600 hospitals across the country.

neighborhood Museum moves cottage to new location Photos by Terry Lane, Photo layout by Luke Webber

Wolfe House & Building Movers moved the 1924 Bordeaux Cottage, located at 405 North Lumina Avenue to the Wrightsville beach Historic Square in the 300 block of West Salisbury Street on Thursday, Jan. 11. Engineers moved the

house south on Lumina Avenue, across the Causeway Bridge and west on Causeway Drive to the lot next to the town’s visitor center. The Bordeaux Cottage was donated by Chris and Debbie Strickland to the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History to

expand the current museum. The system did not require the use of a truck, instead using a remote control for propulsion purposes, with the process taking about 6 hours.

The sale will remain open for a period of ten (10) days following the sale, during which time anyone may file an upset bid (i.e. an increased/higher bid) with the appropriate Clerk of Superior Court as provided in General Statute 45-21.27. After the deadline has passed for upset bids, the trustee will tender a deed to the successful purchaser immediately, collect the balance of the purchase price, and close the sale at that time. The buyer shall be responsible for the revenue stamps (the transfer tax) required by, and to be purchased from, the register of deeds when the deed is recorded.

ant to General Statute 45-21.29 and against anyone in possession of the property. If an order of possession is needed, it will be the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain the order.

Upon termination of a rental agreement, the tenant is liable for rent due under the agreement prorated to the effective date of the termination. If the Trustee is unable to convey title to the property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons for the Trustee’s inability to convey the property and complete the foreclosure include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to expiration of the upset bid period, some other court order enjoining completion of the sale, or the borrower’s payment and/or reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the Trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the Trustee may in his sole discretion declare the sale to be void and return the deposit if the Trustee believes the challenge to the sale may have merit. In such case, the purchaser will have no further remedy other than receipt/return of the bid deposit. This sale will remain open for a period of ten (10) days following the sale, during which time anyone may file an upset bid (i.e. an increased/higher bid) with the Clerk of Superior Court.
