Meet Litte Orton

Imagine coming home to this gorgeous farmhouse nestled in Smithville Woods

With pleasure Dr. Joe Pat and Tish Hatem offer their rustic, French Country style farmhouse at 7007 Robert Ruark Drive, Smithville Woods, Southport, for sale. Known affectionately as “Little Orton” of historic Or-

ton Plantation, the home is nestled among a canopy of majestic live oaks, vibrant pink azaleas, blue hydrangeas and cutting gardens that attract butterflies and hummingbirds has an inviting front porch with a robin’s egg blue beadboard ceiling – a custom of low country coastal homes, an emerald green moss covered garden path, with a water view of Dutchman Creek, a tributary of the Intercoastal Waterway and a gateway to the Atlantic Ocean. According to lore dating to the early 1900s, the woods in the area were a

hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise for a young Robert Ruark and his friends, including Tom Hickman, Tishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great grandfather. Hardwood floors and Plantation shutters are found throughout. In the kitchen, custom shelving, granite countertops and backsplash of Delft tile suggest an ageless European ambiance. The dining room presently holds a table large enough for twelve place settings, and a gas fireplace warms the area on chilly winter evenings. The first floor master includes a sitting area, two custom closets, a large bath with a terrazzo floor, and a granite countertop with hand-crafted Rohl Italian Country fixtures. On the second floor there are two bedrooms, a full bath, and additional storage closets. A studio over the garage is the perfect space for an office, or a private retreat for guests.

This is a home where you can gather your friends & family & entertain with ease.

Fine attention to detail throughout can be attributed to Tish, an interior designer whose work has been published nationally. She and her husband Joe Pat, a physician specializing in Emergency Medicine, will contin-

ue to live in their home in downtown Southport. They envision this location as ideal for either a young couple with children, or retirees because of its close proximity to the amenities of downtown Southport where a bike or a golf cart are entirely at home in this charming and historic seaside community.

Haunted Trails

Get ready for Grizzly Grissettown! STORY BY AMI BROWN

If you are in the mood to really get scared, why not take a short trip over to Grissettown and take a haunted trail ride. The sponsors really go all out to give their audiences a great scare, while having fun. All proceeds go to the local Grissettown Longwood Fire and Rescue. So get scared for a good cause this Halloween. This is not for the faint of heart.

This haunted trail ride was voted top Halloween attraction of 2016. Tours start at 7p.m. and run until late. Location: 758 Longwood Rd, Ocean Isle Beach, Grissettown. For more information call 910-287-3030. Or email: station31@atmc.net The trail is a self guided tour filled with interactive props and actors. Actors are firefighters and community volunteers. The trail takes about 30min to complete. Money raised goes to help fund the fire dept. This is not a little kiddy attraction, although it is family friendly. There are thousands of man hours involved in putting together this trail, it takes an entire year to prepare. The trail yearly takes in about 3,000 customers from all over the state and has won 2 local awards for the scariest haunted attraction.

alling all dog owners! The Fourth Annual Bowser Bash is set to delight on-lookers again this October, as local dogs dress up in their Halloween best, judges do their thing and everyone cheers on the furry prancers as they parade down the waterfront. All proceeds will go to a local animal charity. Several categories of winners to be decided.

Lori and Rick Sall were visiting Carolina Beach a few years ago, and came across their local dog Halloween contest, and thought what a great idea for Southport, and the Bowser Bash was born. Since then each year it has grown, and this year is set to be even bigger. With over $2000 raised last

year, there will be plenty of opportunities for you to win prizes and have fun, while supporting the community too. Come out to the Waterfornt Park on October 27, festivities start at 3p.m. $5 per pet registration. PHOTO ON RIGHT: Rick Sall (as a nun) and the late beagle- Sam as a little devil.

Duo Delight

Listen Up Brunswick kicks off the Fall Season with Vance Gilbert & Susan Werner STORY BY AMI BROWN

his dynamic duo takes the stage in October. As solo performers, they are remarkably talented singer songwriters. To quote the Fort Worth Star Telegram, “Vance Gilbert has the voice of an angel, guitar playing of a God and the wit of the devil.” Susan Werner was described by Music Row (Nashville) as “This woman is great. Period.”

This dynamic duo takes the stage in October. As solo performers, they are remarkably talented singer songwriters. To quote the Fort Worth Star Telegram, “Vance Gilbert has the voice of an angel, guitar playing of a God and the wit of the devil.” Susan Werner was described by Music Row (Nashville) as “This woman is great. Period.” Together magic will happen on stage. They will deliver double fun, double musical talent and no one will know what to expect, including them. www.vancegilbert.com www.susanwerner.com

For further details and to purchase tickets, visit: www.listenupbrunswickcounty.com Vance Gilbert burst onto the singer/songwriter scene in the early 90's when buzz started spreading in the folk clubs of Boston about an ex-multicultural arts teacher who was knocking 'em dead at open mics. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Vance started out hoping to be a jazz singer, and then discovered his affinity for the storytelling sensibilities of acoustic folk music. Once word got out about Gilbert's stage-owning singing and playing, Shawn Colvin invited him to

be special guest on her Fat City Tour. Noted not only for being the ever consummate performer, Gilbert has recorded 12 albums, including 4 for Philo/Rounder Records and a duo album with friend Ellis Paul. Along with being opener of choice for artists as varied as Aretha Franklin, Arlo Guthrie, and Anita Baker, 2006 and 2007 found Gilbert opening 140+ shows for comedian George Carlin. Most recently he’s the opener of choice for Paul Reiser and The Subdudes.

Considered by many to be an integral part of the national folk scene, Gilbert's approach to the acoustic singer songwriter idiom is significant. Gilbert's compositions, while frequently employing sophisticated melodies and harmonies that attest to his jazz roots, remain sublime attestations to the storyteller's craft. He even has a tune on a Grammy Nominated children’s album. How rounded is that?

re you bored always taking the same side dish to your fall and Halloween parties? Why not do something fun and creepy? These deviled eggs look like spiders, but taste delicious. I’ve taken my personal favorite recipe for deviled eggs, and topped them with a simple olive cut into spiders to create a cute addition to any party table this fall. Or what better way to get the kids or grand kids involved in making dinner. Enjoy! Ingredients: 6 boiled eggs, peeled 1/2 cup of Dukes Mayonnaise Pinch of salt & pepper 1/4 tsp balsamic vinegar Black Olives Pinch of garlic powder (optional)

Directions: Cut boiled eggs lengthwise and scoop out yolks. Mix in Mayo, vinegar and spices. Mix well. Put filling back into egg whites and arrange on a spooky plate. Cut the 6 olives in half and use for the spider bodies pressed into the yolk filling.

Cut another 6 olives in half, and then into 4 slivers to use for spider legs. Press legs on either side of the olive bodies to form the spider. Cover and Re-

CHEERS A Yummy Hurricane A tasty drink, perfect for early fall STORY BY JEFFREY STITES

’m writing this the week after our visit from Hurricane Dorian. Though she didn’t cause much damage, she did make it next to impossible for me to figure out what day it is, so my deadline kind of caught me without having planned on a topic. But one can often take inspiration from one’s challenges, so this month we’re going to learn about the famous Hurricane cocktail and the people and places that created it. The Hurricane is a simple mix of rums and fruit juices, passion, lime and orange to be specific. It’s nothing special, the idea of mixing rum with fruit juice is as

old as rum itself, but the stories around the Hurricane’s creation make it a legendary classic cocktail. The Hurricane is the invention of a man

DECORATE YOUR NEST

CHEERS named Pat O’Brien from New Orleans. He is co-founder of the famous Pat O’Brien’s bar on St. Peter Street in the French Quarter. The bar’s website has a bunch of interesting history. Pat O’Brien’s was founded in 1933, at the end of Prohibition, but its predecessor was a speakeasy owned by O’Brien where the password to get in is rumored to have been “storm’s brewin’”, hence the Hurricane name that would come up later. During World War Two, domestic liquor was rare because distilleries were used to produce supplies needed for the war effort. Rum from the Caribbean, however, was plentiful, especially in a Gulf Coast port city like New Orleans. Local distributors would make customers buy huge quantities of rum before they would allow them to purchase the rare bourbon and whiskey people craved. O’Brien needed a way to sell all this rum he had. After some testing with various fruit juices, he invented the Hurricane, and served it in an iconic glass shaped like a hurricane lantern. People ate it up, or drank it up I guess, and they still do today. This is largely due to the fact that, and I can talk from experience here having enjoyed a Hurricane at Pat O’Briens, it is delicious. In a city with an entire neighborhood devoted to great bars, Pat O’Brien’s still stands out. It’s in an 18th century home that was converted into a theatre and then back into a home and then into the bar. Homes of that time in New Orleans were often built right up to the sidewalk, with no yard, but had an open courtyard in the center instead. Pat O’Brien’s is like this, with the courtyard featuring a fountain with flames as well as water. It’s quite the sight at night. As well as being a stunning location and home to a famous cocktail, Pat O’Briens has yet another claim to fame, according to its website. When the bar moved into its current location, they had room for two baby grand pianos. The former place had

two pianos, something not uncommon with ragtime venues, but now they had baby grands. Audiences loved this as two piano players would challenge each other to be the audience favorite. At Pat’s this began to involve audience participation, as folks would call out requests for each player to perform. And thus the Dueling Piano Bar was invented! Now that you know the history of the drink, and you live in an area afflicted with its namesake, I bet you want to want make your own Hurricane, don’t you? Well, here’s a recipe straight from the neworleans.com website.

Whether it’s vintage, coastal, cottage, Hollywood/Palm Beach Regency or shabby chic, you’re looking for.....we have it all! Most of our pieces are hand painted and one-of-a-kind!

2 oz. Light Rum 2 oz. Dark Rum 2 oz. Passion Fruit Juice 1 oz. Orange Juice 1/2 oz. Lime Juice 1 tbsp simple syrup 1 tbsp grenadine Shake it all with ice and strain over ice, then garnish with a cherry and orange slice. See, simple as can be. But also delicious. The Bahamas have their own cocktail called a Hurricane, but it’s nothing like the New Orleans version. I haven’t tried this one yet, but it sounds good, if a bit powerful. It combines a quarter cup 151-proof rum with coffee liqueur, Irish cream liquor and orange liqueur. The Bahamians don’t bother to water it down with any fruit juice, this monster is straight alcohol. But after the mess they’ve just been through with Dorian, I wouldn’t begrudge anyone there a good stiff cocktail! In all seriousness, the Bahamas are really hurting and could use our help. One of the best ways to ensure your donations are being used where they are needed most is to contribute directly to the Bahamas Disaster Relief Fund, set up by their National Emergency Management Agency. Checks can be made payable to “Bahamas Disaster Relief Fund” and mailed directly to:

SAVOR The Perfect Burger Fat Andy’s knows burgers STORY BY KASS FINCHER

at Andy’s owner Andy Staiger is no stranger to the restaurant business. “I’ve been in the business since high school, growing up in Long Island,” he says. “When I was in college at Appalachian State, I discovered how much I liked Boone. I ended up coming back there later and opening first a pizzeria and then a sports bar seafood/steakhouse. After that I had a nice restaurant in an historic building in Savannah.” After leaving the food industry and working about ten years in various corporate environments, Andy got the itch to go back to restaurants. He saw an opportunity here on Long Beach Road. “This place was for lease,” he explains. “It was called Wilson's – a popular little barbeque and burger joint. It was always packed, a great little hangout in the 80s. When I got back to town eight years ago, it was available for rent so I decided to open up.” Andy and his general manager Melissa Lilore have worked together for the past five years. Their menu philosophy is to just “keep it simple with burgers and fresh-cut fries;” their customer philosophy is “we're here to serve.” Melissa, originally from New Jersey, also grew up in the food industry. Her father was a chef at a restaurant on Oak Island; she worked there and at other restaurants in the area. Andy happened to see her in action and was impressed with her energy and customer orientation. “The first time I saw her working I was so impressed with

her customer service and attention to her staff,” he relates. “I'm particular with who I hire; she and I have similar philosophies. Even if you're a little short on your order, we'll still take your order. It's hospitality, not hostility. For any restaurant, as long as you're consistent in your customer care and food quality, you'll be okay.” Those views go beyond their customer service; they work hard to accommodate their staff (of five total) with any personal issues that need attention. “We both believe that work is not everything, you have a life outside your job,” says Andy. “Making sure they can balance work with their families' needs is our priority too.” Attention to staff and customers creates loyalty, and Fat Andy's seems to have accomplished that. “We have so many repeat customers – golfers from St James, workers during the lunch hour,” Andy says. “The summer is so busy; that's also when we pick up additional customers from the tourists vacationing here.” Every morning the staff prepares fresh,

hand-pattied burgers and fresh-cut fries from potatoes. They keep the menu simple because the work space is small and in Andy's view, simple is the best way. “We try to do one thing really well, we don't try to do everything,” he explains. “I want people to know what they're getting when they come here – if you want a great burger you come here. We stay focused on one product. Each one is custom, made however they want it. We have all the normal toppings – I mean our approach is so old it's new. I do it like my grandmother did it: make the patties, season them, keep it simple. People like that.” Melissa relates that the most popular choice is the Double D burger – two beef patties. If that's not enough, you can order the Triple D burger – three beef patties. She and Andy claim that some people say they won't be able to eat the whole thing, but then they actually do. The restaurant opens Monday through Saturday at 11 a.m. Their sign says they're open until 4 p.m. unless they sell out. Andy explains with a laugh. “We have a small kitchen space. We say we're open to 4 unless we're sold out. Everything's prepared fresh each morning, so when we run out we run out.” Andy would like to expand his production area and add shelter outside, but those plans are for somewhere down the road right now.

By the way, Andy is not fat. When asked where he came up with the name, he said he talked with some friends and they batted around ideas until they came up with 'Fat Andy's.' “One friend laughed and said 'it's gonna be ironic because everybody's gonna say you aren't fat!,'” laughed Andy. “That was the truth. I get told that 100 times a day. I should have a great story behind it but I don't – I didn't lose 300 pounds or anything.” No matter. The fresh burgers and fries will bring you out to visit Fat Andy's, regardless of the name. And you'll enjoy meeting Andy and Melissa and the gang every time.

Perfectly Unique

Joyce Grazetti - a true master of art STORY BY CARLA EDSTROM

t’s not hard for me to express how much I admire Joyce Grazetti. Not only is she an amazing artist, but she is also a good friend and someone I have often looked to for advice. Her artwork stands on its own as it is always fresh, intricately detailed and yet sometimes wonderfully abstract. She has mastered the art of both clay sculpting and painting, winning several awards over the years. When we both took classes at Orange Street Pottery, I watched Joyce take ordinary clay and manipulate it into amazing pieces of work right before my eyes. Nothing seemed too big or hard for her to accomplish. I have very fond memories of helping our teacher Don Johns take a kiln apart just so we could get Joyce’s three foot tall gargoyle sculpture in it to fire. We lifted the huge beast onto a dolly and rolled it carefully down the hall to the kiln room in true parade fashion. “I create forms to express a feeling, make a statement and I achieve satisfaction when that goal is accomplished in a well-designed piece,” explains Joyce. “I start out with an idea of what I want to make but it sometimes ends up quite different when finished. “There are no mistakes, simply opportunities to communicate with the clay.” Joyce credits a great deal of her sculpture and pottery success to Don Johns. “I did pottery and some painting when I first moved here, I did mostly textured hand building. I was lucky to find Don Johns, an amazing artist who taught pottery at Orange Street Pottery in Wilmington. He was an amazing person, an artist and an instructor. He would demonstrate many useful class projects or you could do your own thing. If I was working on a project of my own, he would say, ‘You know there is an easier way to do that’. Don has since passed away, but whenever I am having a problem, I ask myself ‘How would Don do this?’”

Joyce and her husband planned for years to live here in their retirement. “When I asked my students what they wanted to do when they grew up, they asked me what I wanted to do after I moved. I said I wanted to do art and be a beach bum. I am doing art but I find I do not have time for the beach bum part,” she said. “I became a

full-time artist after retiring from teaching in Pennsylvania and moving to Oak Island, NC in 1992,” said Joyce. “I had 2 years of college level art before switching to education. When we first visited Oak Island, we found that it would be a good fishing place for my husband. While he was fishing on Oak Island I went to Southport. I found

Southport Magazine 2016-2017 SOI Chamber Small Business of the Year Winner

Franklin Square Gallery and the decision was made. We bought a house and rented it for 2 years. We retired and moved here in 1992.” Joyce is now focusing mostly on 2D art. “My arthritis got worse and my hands hurt more. I still do a little pottery but I am now doing more 2D work. I like to do abstracts with texture. I like the freedom to do whatever. With acrylics I can water the paint down like watercolor or put it on thick with a palette knife,”she said. “A failed realistic painting makes a good start for a collage. Dying tissue paper to use in a collage is a technique all its own. You need to do this where there is room. It is fun to do it with a group,” she said. “I like working in different media. If it looks like fun, I will try it. Rules for design apply to any art work you do. I took many workshops in both painting and pottery. I never went to a workshop that I didn't find at least 1 or 2 things to apply to my work.” All artwork produces some challenges, but the challenges are usually followed by great rewards. “The most challenging aspect of my 2D work is to know when it is done,” Joyce explained. “Sometimes it is just a small dab of paint in the right place. Other times it is getting rid of a section of the painting that you really like but it does not go with the rest of the piece,” she said. “Sometimes I line up all the paintings that are almost done in the living room and look at them until the right one comes along. When my husband asks me ‘How long is that going to be in here?’ It goes under the guest bed for another time.” Like most creative people, Joyce is driven to create. “I just have to do art,” said Grazetti. “I recently started doing pouring’s which is taught by Paula Cline at the Oak Island Senior Center. It is just a lot of fun. You do not have much control. They make good backgrounds for some of my paintings,”she said. “My daughter and I are planning on doing glass stepping stones as soon as the weather gets a little cooler. When I am going to be immobile for any length of time, I get materials ready to do a project that be done sitting or lying down. Sometimes it is Christmas ornaments, jewelry, or cards.” If you have ever been at Franklin Square Gallery and rode the elevator, you can thank Joyce for all her efforts and raising money to build it. The Associated Artists of Southport even named it ‘The Grazetti’ to honor her in all the work she did in raising money to install it. Her work can be seen at Franklin square Gallery or at the Oak Island Recreation Center. You can reach her by email at artslave92@gmail.com.

Eating too Little? Eat More to Lose Weight STORY BY BRIAN TULLY, MS, EP-C

e are all aware that eating too much has a direct impact to our waistline and general health. However, many of us, in an effort to shed unwanted pounds make excessive modifications to our eating and actually end up eating too little. And this can be just as much of a contributor to the inability to lose weight as eating too much.

We are all aware that eating too much has a direct impact to our waistline and general health. However, many of us, in an effort to shed unwanted pounds make excessive modifications to our eating and actually end up eating too little. And this can be just as much of a contributor to the inability to lose weight as eating too much. An important aspect in the formula of weight loss is your base line amount of calories needed for survival, known as your Basal Metabolic Rate or BMR. There are a lot of online calculators that can help you calculate your specific number. This number is the amount of calories you need to maintain the body functions required for survival not including digestion and temperature control in a 24 hour period. When you consume less than this number on a consistent basis, your body will need to make accommodations for survival. Typically these accommodations will come in the form of holding on to or storing off energy (fat), and getting rid of muscle to decrease overall energy needs. Decreasing muscle and storing fat will not be your friend in the battle to lose weight, not to mention your metabolism slowing and your energy levels dropping.

One way to insure that you don’t lose muscle is to consume enough protein on a daily basis so that your body has the building blocks to build and maintain muscle. However if you are not taking in enough fuel in general (see previous paragraph on BMR), your body will use protein intake for fuel instead of muscle maintenance. Again, causing you to lose muscle and slow down metabolism. You need muscle to boost metabolism. Muscle is active tissue and needs fuel to survive. So if you want to be able eat more without gaining fat, you need to add muscle. Make sure to have protein with each snack and meal throughout the day. We have determined that you need a certain amount calories in the form of energy to meet your basic human needs of survival and reach your BMR number. But this doesn’t mean you just need to hit that number. If you want to feel good and maintain a healthy weight you should be choosing quality carbohydrates and healthy fats. Fats and carbohydrates are the preferred fuel source of your body. Think single ingredient items when it comes to carbohydrates. Things like oats, apples, carrots, rice, potato, broccoli, etc. will fit this cate-

gory nicely. When you think about fats, you should be looking for mostly healthy fats or unsaturated fats versus saturated fats. Healthy fats help keep the arteries clean, and control cholesterol; they are also an excellent source of energy without causing large blood sugar spikes and crashes. This would be things like nut butters, avocado, oils, seeds, etc. Fats are dense in calories so you should be able to easily reach your energy needs with quality carbohydrates and healthy fats included with each meal or snack. Another area that we tend to consume too little is fiber, which is beneficial on many levels and should absolutely be a consideration in your eating plan. It is helpful in promoting weight loss and lowering blood sugar levels, as well as relieving constipation. The recommended daily intake goal is 25 -30 grams. I would venture a guess to say that most of you are falling short in this category, considering the fact that statistics tell us that the average intake of Americans is about half the recommended goal. With the benefits of

weight loss and blood sugar control, don’t skimp on this one. I’m assuming that most people don’t restrict water in an effort to lose weight, but it is an area that people tend to consume too little. And water does play a significant role in helping to maintain a healthy body weight by increasing metabolism, regulating appetite, and delivering healthy vitamins, minerals, and nutrients through your body. Although it is probably counter intuitive, eating less will not necessarily equate to healthy sustainable weight loss if you are eating too little. I have seen numerous clients use the above advice to break through weight loss plateaus and find a healthy balance that works long term. Give it a try; I think you will be surprised once you determine your sweet spot between too much and too little. If you have additional questions regarding this month's article or have a topic you would like to see covered in future articles, please reach out to me via email.

Remembering Hazel

Q: I’m ready to start my own business, Amazing stories of destruction and survival but I’m not sure my family is. How do I STORY BY KASS FINCHER get them on board? —Suzy R. from Southport t was this month 65 years ago that brought the fury of a late A: As you prepare to launch your business, keep the following talking points in mind as you communicate with your family members. • There may be no such thing as a regular 9-5 workday. Especially during the startup phase of your business, you may discover the work-life balance scale tipping much more heavily to the “work” side. • You need a Do Not Disturb Zone. Get confirmation from your family members that they understand when you’re in your home office or on business calls, they won’t disturb you for non-emergency reasons. Also, set the expectation with friends and relatives that working from home doesn’t mean you can comply with spontaneous requests to meet up for coffee or happy hour.

• You may have to pinch pennies. Until you’ve established a network of business connections and clients, you and your family should expect your income to fluctuate from month to month. • You may need them to pitch in around the house more. With your startup responsibilities added to your plate and less free time available every day, you may find it necessary to ask your loved ones to pick up some of the slack on the home front. • Making it work. Navigating the challenges of starting a new business may require some trial and error as you learn your capabilities and limitations. The key is to communicate with your family members and set expectations, so they’re not caught off-guard.

storm – Hurricane Hazel – to our region. Making landfall on October 15, 1954 at Calabash as a Category 4 storm with winds of 140 miles per hour and an 18-foot storm surge, Hazel left unbelievable devastation in its wake. Nineteen people in North Carolina died; 95 were killed in the United States and Canada and over 400 in Haiti as the storm roared through. Damages to the U.S. were estimated at $280 million; $100 million in Canada. Though the damage and death statistics are astounding, it is the personal stories of those who lived through the storm that really shine a light on its effect on our communities. Thanks to the Southport Historical Society’s archives in the Susie Carson Research Room, many accounts and photographs of the storm's impact to our area are available online. Some of those newspaper reports and personal accounts follow. Susie Carson, Wilmington Morning Star, October 14, 1999 “Hurricane Hazel struck with full fury at high tide. Our faithful weather observer, Mrs. Jessie Taylor, had rendered outstanding service as the hurricane approached, especially on the previous evening. All through the storm she made sure that the flags and lights on the weather tower were in place and reports made to the Weather Bureau. Lasting 15 hours, with winds reaching 140 miles per hour, Hazel destroyed all shrimp houses, wharves and fuel docks. Huge trawlers were lifted into Bay Street; cars were crushed, streets flooded and great old oaks toppled onto roofs and streets. Two stores and the upper section of the old wooden pilot tower were destroyed. Water came up into' Mack's Cafe, Riverside Motel, and Quack's Seafood Shack. The famous old Stuart House was damaged beyond repair. Ledrew Sellers' store was heavily damaged and its porch floated off toward Moore Street. Slabs of bacon, cigarette cartons, cans without labels, packaged foods and other items floated around the building in the whirling waters. Devastation was great all over town, but no lives were lost. When the storm subsided, neighbors began helping neighbors.

National Guard units arrived. With no electricity, food preparation was a problem. Mrs. Sellers, with a little coal burning water heater in her kitchen, cooked many pots of chicken bog for family and neighbors who salvaged food from freezers before it could spoil. Served with the chicken bog were the contents of those cans without labels. Many were surprises! Others with gas stoves and camp stoves helped out. Refugees from the beaches were served food cooked on the huge gas stove at the lunchroom. As rehabilitation began, Diamond Construction Company gave freely of its workers and equipment to lift vessels back into the river. 'The Red Cross offered assistance.” State Port Pilot, October 1982 “At the old Southport yacht basin where boats had gone for protection against wind and high water, big trawlers were lifted over the bulkhead and came to rest at various points within the block between the Joel Moore Store and Quack's Sea Shack. Sunny Point Army Terminal then was under the last phase of construction and heavy equipment from McLean Construction Co., one of the contractors, came to the rescue by lifting these big boats by a belly-strap and depositing them once more in the water. Johnny Simmons had completed a big new shrimp trawler which he called "The Finest Kind", and it took up in the marsh about a quarter mile from water. A channel had to be dug to get her afloat. A barge belonging to the Willis brothers ran aground on Moore Street near Fiddler's Drain and that stream had to be re-routed to help float it free. Land side casualties included the Dan Harrelson Grocery and the Army Surplus Store on Bay Street. The upper section of the old Pilot Tower also

went down before the wind. Water came up on Mack's Cafe, the Riverside Motel and Quack's Sea Shack, but the buildings survived. The Stuart House took an awful beating and later was dismantled, removing an historic waterfront landmark.” UNCW Randall Library Special Collections "Leila Pigott describing the aftermath of Hurricane Hazel on fisheries. 'The world literally turned to shrimp. We've never seen anything like the shrimp that were caught after Hurricane Hazel. Now, there were a lot of boats that could not get out. They were up in the woods; they were up in the streets; they were everywhere. But those that could get out, they just came back loaded. I will tell you this, their nets were torn all to pieces; they had parts of refrigerators. They had beds. They had houses; they had a little bit of everything, but shrimp, I have never seen so many shrimp in all of my life!'” The Star News, October 15, 1994 “Eighteen North Carolinians died, the majority of them in Brunswick County. A number of the dead were in a group that stayed at Ocean Isle Beach as the deadly storm approached. Only two of the 33 beach houses there survived the storm. Property damage in the two Carolinas was estimated at $60 million. In Southeastern North Carolina. New Hanover County beach resorts were the hardest hit, according to a retrospective published by the Wilmington Printing Co. Damage at Carolina Beach alone was estimated at $17 million. About 360 buildings there were destroyed and 288 suffered major damage. The storm destroyed 89 buildings at Wrightsville Beach and severely damaged 155. Damage was estimated at $7 million.” James Harper, State Port Pilot, Spring 1995 “Mrs. Ken Bruno was proprietor of the

Long Beach Inn until October 1954 and Hurricane Hazel, which marked both the end and beginning of Long Beach development. ‘The Coast Guard came by and told us around midnight we'd have to get off the beach -- that the beach had to be cleared -- and I spent the night in Southport in the Camellia Inn,’ she said. But not everyone got that word, or heeded it, and on Long Beach at least six people died and others came within inches -- or moments -of their lives. Charlie Trott rode out on one end of a refrigerator, glaring across a snake that was riding out at the other end, Mrs. Bruno said. And Cleveland Swain saved his life by getting to some high dunes behind his house and burying himself in the sand so he wouldn't wash away. When the fury of the storm subsided on the afternoon of October 15, 1954, those residents who had been driven off Oak Island, including Ken Bruno and her daughter, returned. ‘I was devastated,’ Ken Bruno remembers. ‘It was unbelievable.’ From where they could first look down Long Beach there was nothing they recognized. ‘It looked like virgin beach,’ she said. Later they got onto the beach, walked to where the Long Beach Inn had been turned sideways off its foundations. The first floor was destroyed, but on the second floor Fed Heart Valentine, the family Chesapeake retriever, was ready for human company. ‘Kay shinnied up to the second floor and found the dog, two cats, and our goldfish still swimming around in their bowl,’ Mrs. Bruno said. That was the end of Long Beach I. Yaupon had been badly damaged and many houses swept away from Caswell too.” John Sanders, UNC Sea Grant “After taking refuge in a two-story house, Connie and Jerry Helms watched as the island went under water and beach cottages were lifted from their foundations or pounded into pieces by the storm surge

and the large waves. Every building within sight had been destroyed and still the water continued to rise. Downstairs furniture, small appliances and dishes crashed against the walls. The Helms knew that it was only a matter of time before their shelter would collapse under the stress of waves and wind. Tying themselves together with a flannel blanket, the Helms pushed a mattress through the second story. window into the water that swirled just inches below the second-story window frame. Connie Helms, who could not swim, climbed onto the mattress and Jerry Helms dropped into the water. Connie recalled that moment. ‘We'd hoped to float to this sand dune that stood between the house and Davis Creek. But we didn't count on the winds shifting (and) ... instead we were pushed across Davis Creek -into the tops of some small scrub oaks that stood 30 feet off the ground.’ There the Helms rode out the final hours of the storm.” State Port Pilot “A more precise accounting of what Hazel did at Long Beach was in the Pilot's November 10 edition. There had been 357 cottages in the development and all but five had been destroyed or washed off their foundations. The public cost of removing debris had been reckoned at S10,500, and that sum was being sought

from the state. A three-foot bulldozed ‘dike’ was also proposed along 53,000 feet of beach at a cost of $55,650, and sand fence costing $21,200 was being suggested to stabilize it. In the same issue we reported the first trial of looters arrested on Long Beach after the storm. By Christmas week, bulldozers were restoring the ten-mile Long Beach dune line under supervision of the county commissioners, and a dredge was expected shortly to start pumping sand into the inlet which Hazel had opened between the Capel Hill and Lockwood Folly Inlet.” Though today's coastal communities have long ago rebuilt from Hazel's destruction, there's no guarantee such a powerful storm could not hit us again. We have made changes to protect property; building codes were changed to require homes on stilts; perhaps more should be done. For those interested in more information on our hurricane history, local author Jay Barnes is probably the most noted authority. Author of four books on hurricanes, including “North Carolina's Hurricane History” and “Hurricane Hazel in the Carolinas,” Barnes is director of development for the North Carolina Aquarium Society.
