In the forty-four year history of the U.S. Clark's Bethel United Methodist Church Life-Saving Service, 177,286 lives were saved of the 178,741 lives in peril (99.2%), a record 27775 NC Hwy 12 unparalleled even today. Remarkably, this is coupled with a less than one percent loss of life 252-987-1069 for the actual U.S. Life Savers. No life-savers were ever lost from Chicamacomico, mainly because of their superb training. Lifeboat Community Church Frisco 27563 NC Hwy 12 Cape Hatteras Baptist Church Built and manned in 1874, Chicamacomico was the first United States Life-Saving Service 252-305-1129 50195 Buccaneer Drive station in North Carolina, dedicated to the sole purpose of rescuing lives in peril from the 252-995-5159 sea. After the U.S. Life-Saving Service evolved into the U.S. Coast Guard in 1915 this Avon station saw service until 1954.

  • Advocacy Coalitions, Bonner Bridge, and the Future of Nc 12 on North Carolina’S Outer Banks
    SHIFTING SANDS AND SHIFTING STRATEGIES: ADVOCACY COALITIONS, BONNER BRIDGE, AND THE FUTURE OF NC 12 ON NORTH CAROLINA’S OUTER BANKS by Deanna F. Swain May 2017 Director of Dissertation: Dr. Burrell Montz Major Department: Coastal Resources Management Coastal management decisions are complicated. They involve an array of competing concerns, including environmental, social, economic, recreational, and property interests, and are inherently political. These decisions become even more difficult when interested groups use their political and economic leverage to influence the policy debate. The Bonner Bridge replacement project on North Carolina’s Outer Banks is an example of how this blend of politics, science, and competing interests can result in extraordinary complexity. This research project uses a qualitative case study of the Bonner Bridge replacement to explore how a bridge project became more about priorities and values than science and technical feasibility and how interested parties, acting through informal coalitions, strategically worked to shape the policy debate. In the process, we see how the replacement of a single aging bridge required 25 years of planning, four environmental impact statements, an environmental assessment, federal and state lawsuits, and a negotiated settlement before a single piling was put into place. Drawing on the policy process literature, this project applies aspects of the Advocacy Coalition and Narrative Policy Frameworks to a qualitative content analysis of the bridge project over a 25 year period (1990-2015). The analysis tracks the emergence and evolution of two distinct coalitions and compares their use of general and narrative strategies to influence the bridge debate. The project addresses an under-explored area in the Advocacy Coalition Framework literature by focusing on how coalitions act strategically to exploit an internal shock within the policy subsystem and contributes to the literature by exploring the intersection of the two frameworks.

While named as an “island,” this region now exists as the northern tip of Hatteras Island, with the shoreline adjacent to the inlet stabilized by a terminal groin built in 1989-1991. It is home to the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge, es- tablished in 1938. The Cape Hatteras National Seashore, established in 1953, is co-located within the refuge boundaries on Pea Island and extends further north and south along the Outer Banks. There is limited infrastructure on Pea Island, consisting of a visitor’s center and other facilities associated with the wildlife refuge, as well as the coastal highway NC 12. NC 12 is the only north-south roadway connecting the Outer Banks with mainland North Carolina; it serves as the only terrestrial evacuation route for the 4,300 residents of Hat- teras Island and all visitors to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore and local communities. According to the Outer Banks Visitors Bureau (2016), the Seashore had a total of 2,266,579 visitors during the year 2014.

Heath reported on the most recent archaeological survey digs conducted beginning June For the first time since 1998, the 23 and ending July 9. (MHG­M photo) archaeological search resumed for clues about the Croatan of Hatteras Island and the whereabouts of the Lost Colony. This three­ week search ended Sunday, July 9, with a report to three dozen interested Hatteras Islanders and volunteer diggers and sifters of sandy soil. Since 1993, Fred Willard and Barbara Midgette have sparked this hunt to connect the dots. Willard's Lost Colony Center for Science and Research, located in Jamesville, organized this 2006 dig. Midgette leads the center's Croatan committee. Charles L. Heath is the new scientist directing the clue hunt at the Buxton dig. This year's dig explored sites around Cape Creek, an archaeological site indentified in 1937, reaffirmed in 1958 and first tested in 1983 by now­retired East Carolina University archaeologist David S. Phelps. Heath has worked on the Cape Creek site before. He's now a doctoral degree candidate at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the consulting archaeologist with the Lost Colony Center. On the 2006 dig, a more systematic approach to exploration started. With permission from several landowers, the search team conducted a six­site survey, griding possible locations, shoveling down as deep as possible and recording what turned up.

Schaefer Prehistoric Subsistence on the Coast of North Carolina: An Archaeobotanical Study (Under the direction of C. Margaret Scarry.) When European settlers first arrived on the coast of North Carolina, they encountered Native Americans who they described as living in permanent villages and pursuing a mixture of hunting, fishing, and farming. Very little is known of the subsistence practices of people in the area before the arrival of Europeans, however. My dissertation seeks to help rectify this by increasing our knowledge of plant use on the coast during prehistory.

  • The Lost Colony of Roanoke
    2014-2015 The Lost Colony of Roanoke: A Brief Introduction OSHO Mathijs Meert 5C Koen De Keersmaeker Koen Vorsters 5C Foreword The lost colony of Roanoke is a subject that fascinated numerous people for the last couple of decades. Countless researchers, both famous professors and amateuristic historians, have searched for clues that could unravel the mystery surrounding the lost colonists once and for all. Unfortunately they have failed. Clues have been found, theories have been thought up and occasionally a researcher declared that he solved the mystery, only to retract his statement due to lack of evidence. Our goal is not to do what many have tried to do. Our goal is not to unravel the mystery. Our goal is to inform the reader about the colony and to present some possible explanations. We would like to thank Fred Willard for answering some of our questions.
