Island Report
Communication, Advocacy and Protection of BHI Property Values
President’s Letter: Favorite Expression
~Kit Adcock
One of the favorite expressions I’ve learned in my
years on Bald Head Island is this gem from BHI
Patriarch Thad Wester regarding committees: “After
all is said and done, more was said than done.”
of the beach towards the Shoals Club. The next
waterfront project is the extension of the marina
entrance, to be immediately followed by construction
of the terminal groin.
There are certainly lots of committees on this Island.
With each new organization added to the mix and
as all organizations grow, ever more committees
are needed. Communication between and among
organizations often passes through many layers to
get to the heart of any matter, to obtain answers, and
ultimately to get something done.
The relocation of the Village dog park next to the
Association’s community garden is finished. The
Association boat park, located at the site of the old
dog park, should be completed by mid-April. The
Village is actively working on two ramps at the Creek
Access as this is written. Of course, there are always
tweaks to be made; your patience is requested as each
is addressed. Community
input is invaluable in order
to ensure these amenities
meet owners’ needs.
Many Islanders serve
on multiple committees
and many who are
actively involved
live off island. Even
arranging times to meet
can become rather
complex. For most
matters, stakeholder
input is sought. Time
slips by with seemingly
little action. Often,
as the clock ticks by,
organizations elect new
leadership, committee
memberships change
and time is spent
bringing new folks
up to date with what has already transpired. New
ideas swirl about and the process continues, perhaps
perfected, but assuredly ignited with new energy to
get “something done.”
Hopefully, by the time this article reaches your
mailbox, several major Island projects will be
complete. The Village has coordinated with seemingly
split-second timing three waterfront projects. The
beach re-nourishment is complete in perhaps one of
the quickest and most seamless efforts ever. Most
of South beach is wide and beautiful and the Village
expects the sand to move Eastward to fill in more
It is delightful to see so
many visible projects come
to fruition after so much
behind-the-scenes effort.
Thanks to all who have
worked so hard to enhance
our Island paradise. There’s
been a lot of talking,
negotiating, coordinating,
working with various
Island organizations
and jumping through
governmental hoops
The Watcher, by Janet Holt Hilton
and hurdles. Numerous
schedules, including Mother Nature’s, have been
accommodated. This year there is concrete evidence
of successful committee functioning because “as
much was said as was done!”

ARC Corner
Karen Mosteller,
Architectural Review
Coordinator
Ode to Spring ~ YEAH! Everyone seems excited
that winter is behind us and the trees are waking
up.
While the T.V. ads are encouraging homeowners to
get out in the yard, it’s important to note that here on
Bald Head the first consideration regarding yard work
is always the protection of the existing flora on your
property. Whether in the dunes or the forest, along
with protecting existing plants, it’s important that
any new landscaping increases the productive natural
systems of your own particular mini-environment.
“Natural” landscaping can help you accomplish both
ends. This means, for the most part, planting and
allowing the native plants to flourish of their own
accord.
There are bonuses that come with staying natural.
This approach is opposed to spending a lot of time
and money establishing lawn grass or ornamental
plants and wasting our most valuable resource, water.
Letting nature run its course does not mean total
abandonment of planting maintenance. Rather, it will
mean a controlled and guided landscape in character
with the charm and beauty of Bald Head Island.
Hopefully, your landscaping plan will leave you with
more time on your hands to enjoy that natural beauty.
Landscaping improvements, costing more than $1000
for an existing home, require ARC approval. Also,
any approved clearing should take into account the
potential environmental impact of the activity and the
need to protect plants of special value to the island
ecology. This ensures the preservation that is crucial
to the delicate environmental balance on the island.
Please keep in mind, the understory is critical to the
survival of the maritime forest and the forest prevents
wind erosion and traps wind-blown sand to eventually
form the large dunes on the seaward edge.
Regarding tree maintenance, the Village has
ordinances that protect the trees and the ARC should
Page 2
be consulted regarding the removal of trees 3 inches
or greater in caliper at 48 inches height above grade.
The Village also reviews limb removal and consults
with the ARC. It’s important to get approval from
both the Village Building Inspector and the ARC
before taking any action. These rules apply to existing
homes, new construction, undeveloped lots and
common area.
The BHA Design Guidelines include information on
how to bring Bald Head Island’s natural beauty closer
to your home. If you have questions about the Design
Guidelines or the ARC process, call Karen Mosteller

NCUC Approves Elimination
of Ferry Fuel Surcharge
The North Carolina Utilities Commission approved
a request by Bald Head Island Transportation, Inc.,
(BHIT) to eliminate the current $0.50 Fuel Surcharge
per round trip ferry ticket as of April 1, 2015. The
existing $63 Fuel Surcharge per Annual Pass will also
be eliminated.
The request was made after BHIT’s fuel expenses for
the past several quarters were less than previously
forecast, largely due to the recent drop in diesel fuel.
Contact Joyce Fulton at 910-457-7478 with questions.

THANK YOU!
You know what they say about opinions and the fact
that everyone has one. Anyone that knows me knows
that I am also happy to share my opinion but rarely
do I do this in such a public forum. There are so many
things that Property Owners could say about the
value of owning a piece of Bald Head Island. Since
my husband Ray was diagnosed with cancer in 2013,
we experienced the central core value that makes our
community so spectacular. It’s the people. It is not just
those of us that own property but the people that work
with us and for us, the island entities and their staff, the
business owners and their employees and the visitors
that cherish this island as much as we do. It is all of
these people that make up our wonderful community, a
community that sets aside politics, special interests and
disagreements to wrap themselves around my family
and lift us up during a long and difficult journey.
So how do I say thank
you for an infinite number
of acts of kindness,
support and generosity.
I could say or write
the 2 words thank you
over and over again but
they just don’t seem to
cover what is truly in my
heart. Since my husband
Ray was diagnosed
with cancer of the esophagus in October of 2013 the
outpouring of support, prayers, good wishes, notes,
cards, gifts, advice, dinners, food deliveries has been
overwhelming. As time went on and he experienced
some life threatening complications the acts of
kindness grew exponentially from small well wishes
to major projects. Ray said thank you many times
throughout his perilous journey. Towards the end
of his battle he would say, I have no idea how I am
ever going to thank everyone. So that in a nutshell is
my problem. How do you say thank you to an entire
community and beyond.
When he passed away on February 2nd this year Bald
Head Island joined me and my family to celebrate
Ray’s life. The generosity continues and so much of it
is anonymous. A long list of names for personal thank
you notes awaits my attention. There are just so many
more people who selflessly extended themselves to
me and my family without giving a thought of being
recognized or thanked. My heart is full of gratitude
to everyone knowing that you honored Ray and his
April 2015 Island Report
contributions to the island. Ray worked very hard for
the island while working diligently for his client. Ray
was passionate about the island and its people.
Paying it forward is the best way for me to say thank
you. Throughout Ray’s illness he required many units
of blood provided by the American Red Cross without
ever asking for replenishing the supply. Initially
planned to honor Ray but now in his memory I have
organized the very first American Red Cross Blood
Drive on Bald Head Island. The Blood Drive will
be held at the Bald Head Association Building on
Tuesday May 5th. Donors must make an appointment
by emailing me at [email protected] or calling
me at (910) 454-8065.
Appointments are available from 10AM – 1:45PM.
For eligibility requirements go to: http://www.
redcrossblood.org/donating-blood/eligibilityrequirements/eligibility-criteria-topic. If you are not
able to give blood we could use some volunteers.
The Blood Drive is made possible because of service
donations from Bald Head Association, Bald Head
Island Transportation, The Village of Bald Head
Island, Maritime Market and Delphina Cantina.
Unique and inspiring...

April 2015 Island Report
The Way it Was:To East Beach
Volume 26, No. 4
Island Service
Providers Event
There were no streetlights and no fire hydrants, and
the roads were not maintained as they are today.
Most of the side roads were either unpaved or had
crumbling pavement. North Bald Head Wynd led to
Federal Road, where it became entirely a narrow onelane path. This was the only way to get to East Beach.
Thursday, April 2, 2015
2pm to 3pm
BHA’s Association Center
Once past the Kent Mitchell Nature Trail you returned
to woods,whose foliage was so dense it barely cleared
golf cart roofs. It was a tunnel of trees with only a
small light at its end where the 20th century lighthouse
foundation and oil house sit.
Come and meet the businesses that provide
service to the island properties. Whether you
are interested in HVAC, security, renovation
or interior design there will be businesses
representing a wide variety of island services.
Turning right before the lighthouse base and
climbing the hill, you arrived at the Captain Charlie’s
cottages. The first of the three buildings housed the
BHI Conservancy interns and the classroom where
nightly turtle talks were presented during the summer.
Bald Head Island Limited donated the use of these
facilities to the BHI Conservancy. The Conservancy’s
legendary annual fishing schools were also held at the
top of this drive. These schools were always sold out
months in advance and provided a great way to get to
know other islanders, both the “old salts” who taught
the program and more recent island property owners
and guests.
Spring 2015 Island Service Providers
Open House~Bigger than ever!
Once you reached the lighthouse base, Federal Road
veered left following the path South East Beach Drive
takes today. Where the East Beach paved parking
lot is today, “Access 42”, was a gazebo with two
bathrooms and a Coke machine. This was the sole
public access point for East Beach. Traveling to The
Point back then took some planning and good timing.
The only alternative route to The Point was from
Captain Charlie’s.
Come meet a variety of men and women that
provide essential services to Bald Head Island. As of
printing we have: The Island Retreat and Spa with
aestheticians and a chiropractor, Barbara Miller from
BHI Design, James Capps from Pelican Enterprises,
Betsy Kimmel – Yoga, Jeremy Downey from A-Wolf
Security, Amy from the BHI Conservancy to discuss
programs, Darren Witt – Witt Works – repair and
maintenance, Greg Kinlaw from Charlotte Grill
Works, Cindy from Mannings Pest Control, Nance for
HVAC install and service and several more.
What made this location so special was that except
for a handful of houses further north up South East
Beach Drive, you could look out from the gazebo
toward both Frying Pan Shoals and up toward Fort
Fisher and see miles and miles of unspoiled beaches
and few, if any, humans. This view of Cape Fear was
then, and remains today, one of the most the majestic
vistas of Bald Head Island. When the first murmurs
of development of Stage Two were heard, those who
treasured this view successfully formed the Smith
Island Land Trust to preserve The Point at Cape Fear
for posterity.

The eighth annual BHI Wounded Warrior Weekend
will begin on Thursday, April 30th with the arrival
of five military personnel who have been wounded
in active service, plus their families and caregivers,
for an all-expense paid respite on Bald Head Island.
For many of the troops and their families, this will
be their first vacation opportunity since becoming
seriously wounded.
The weekend kicks off with the traditional community
“Pot Luck” recognition dinner that is open to
everyone. It will be held at the
marina tent site on Friday, May
1st. The participants will spend the
remainder of the weekend relaxing
on the Island until their departure
on Monday.
The BHI community is honored
to host the annual BHI Wounded
Warrior Weekend for the families,
caregivers and Wounded Warriors.
This event is made possible
each year through the generous
contribution of financial aid,
goods and services within the
caring community of Bald Head
Island.

BADWATER
Cape Fear Recap
The second annual Badwater Cape Fear ultramarathon
run was held on Bald Head Island in late March.
This year, the race had 115 racers representing 23
American states, Canada, Philippines, and Singapore,
a sizable increase over the 80 runners from 17
American states and Canada at the inaugural race in
2014. Thirty-three of 36 finished the 50km officially;
only one did not finish. Of the 79 51.4-mile racers,
78 completed the long route and earned the coveted
Badwater Cape Fear belt buckle (only one did not
finish). It was great day for ultramarathon racing
on Bald Head Island and up to Fort Fisher and back
along East Beach, with a cool morning and a glorious
afternoon.
Badwater Cape Fear is the first of three annual races
comprising the BADWATER® ULTRA CUP, which
includes the 51-mile Badwater Cape Fear, the 81-mile
Badwater Salton Sea and the Badwater 135.

Corps 2015 Channel Maintenance Dredging Update
– Great Lakes Dredge & Dock have completed dredging
operations as of earlier this week. The contractor is
still underway with removal of shoreline pipe from the
beach strand as well as dragging the beach to smooth it
out. The project fill limits extended along South Beach
to the west end of Brown Pelican Trail. As reported
earlier, the total amount dredged from the channel was
approximately 1.4Mcy (million cubic yards).

Village Terminal Groin Project – Due to the Corps
dredging project having finished much sooner than
historically, Village staff will also be meeting with
the contractor, Orion, to discuss specifics of the
construction of the terminal groin. First order of
operation is for Orion to install a “temporary trestle”
just around “the Point,” along the southern end of
West Beach that will be used as an off-loading system
to receive supplies to construct the terminal groin
structure.

Construction is currently underway for the new Creek
Access Ramp and Launching Apparatus. After some
delay as a result of weather, the retaining wall and a
portion of the ramp are being torn out first with the new
section of the ramp, walkway and launching apparatus
coming soon. The dock is open but please use caution
when in the area. Expect the project to take about 2
weeks more or less.
Marina Jetty Wall Extension Project - Village
staff will be working with the contractor early
April to hold a pre-construction meeting to discuss
specifics of the jetty wall extension project which
is currently underway. The contractor, Orion, is
currently mobilized to their mainland location and are
preparing the geo-textile grid mattresses that will be
used as the base for the rock to be placed on. All of
the work to extend the jetty walls will be performed
from the contractor’s barge and will not interfere with
daily ferry transportation operations.

exploration and potential drilling for oil. To preserve
what we hold near and dear about the Island and to
have our voices heard, we must work together to
maximize our six degrees of separation. Who do you

encounter them in the wild. Without human
intervention, like feeding, coyotes and
foxes will avoid human contact and will
maintain a healthy distance.
While our wildlife projects are still in process, we
have captured quite a few of Bald Head’s residents
on film. As we learn more about the movements and
status of each population, we will provide updates via
www.bhic.org.

We have several opportunities for families to get

Spring is bringing Bald Head to life! Our wildlife
cameras have been deployed for several different
projects including the deer management project, fox
survey, and coyote survey.
Coyotes
(Canis
latrans) and
foxes (Vulpes
vulpes) are
important
predator
species and
help keep
small mammal populations in check. Foxes have
been slow to repopulate after disease wiped out the
population here a couple of years ago, so it is great
to see them on Bald Head once again! Presence of
these predators could help control the population of
the invasive roof rat (Rattus rattus), which is part of
the reason we are so keen to study the predator-prey
relationships on the island. Coyotes and foxes likely
came down from Fort Fisher via the land bridge that
connects Bald Head to the mainland.
Although it may
seem alarming
to see photos of
these predator
species near
residential
areas, you are
