Haircut 'Overdue'
Pi^uU'it barber and nc-i^bbor since
1969, Cesar Hardy Jr., testified that
between about 8 a.in. and 8:30 a.in
on the 25th, Pigott called him to arrange
to have his nephew's hair cut
that morning, arriving with the boy
about 15 or 20 minutes later, in no apparent
hurry
Pigott also received a cut, which
given his normal hair style, said Hardy,
was "way overdue".
As he combed Pigott's hair, he added,
a "yellowish dust-colored
powder" just below the crown at the
left side of the head "would flare
rinht "ut and vanish."
During the grooming, the spots
were completely removed. Hardy
testified. Pigott was wearing long
pants but no shirt, he said.
l-ater l.t. Gausc and Patrol Officer
Nellie Kvans questioned Hardy and
took clippings from Pigott's hair, he
said.

The hairs were sent to the SHI

or female.
Similarly, blood and body fluid
testing proved inconclusive.
Special Agent Jcb Taub, assistant
supervisor for the crime lab's
serology section, testified that semen
was found on the victim's panties and
in smears taken from swaps of her
"vaginal pool."
The panty smear he said was
"clearly consistent" with all Pigott's
blood groupings. But with the mixing
of iMxIy fluids in the vaginal pool and
a masking effect by the dominant
fluid present, however, swab results
were less refined, he indicated.
On the basis of analysts of the
swabs, he said, 'Pigott cannot be
eliminated from the group of possible
originators."
Under cross-examination, he
acknowledged that about three of
every 10 persons would fit that same
category.

She stressed the town's interest in maintaining
water quality and protecting natural resources.
"We have SA quality waters and we're definitely
not polluting," she added.
Public Accessways
Ocean Isle Beach will go with whichever of two
alternatives poses the least legal problems in developing
estuarine and ocean accessways off Shallotte
Boulevard. Commissioners authorized Mayor Bullington
to sign the appropriate application for an access
grant from the N.C. Office of Coastal Management for
the project.
The town is interested in developing both ends of
the state-owned street for public access. Attorney Elva
Jess has advised the town it will have fewer legal problems
in dealing with the estaurine area overlooking
the Intracoastal Waterway. On the oceanfront end, the
town will decide after further investigation whether to
try to obtain the property from the state or to ask the
state for an easement or right to develop an accessway
there.
While the cost might be a little high initially,
Building Inspector T.D. Roberson said that if completed
as planned, the sites "will be something the state
and the town can be proud of."
In sketches for the commissioners, he illustrated
the proposed layout for the estaurine accessway at the
site of the old ferry crossing to the mainland. It would
include 30 parking spaces, a small T-shaped dock, a
security light, three picnic tables, trash receptacles,
vehicle bumper and bulkhead, a sign and other
amenities.
The smaller oceanfront site would be simpler, including
an access stairway to the beach, parking for
about 20 vehicles, trash receptacles, barricade and
sign.
Other Business
In other business, Ocean Isle commissioners:
Amended the budget by deleting $3.9 million in lineitems
relating to construction of the town sewer system.
The items have already been included a capital reserve
fund for accounting purposes.
Heard from Building Inspector T.D. Roberson that
14 building permits had been issued in August, with
$7,078 in fees collected for construction valuer! at
$431,050. Construction for the year to date has an
estimated value of $5.04 million.

Advised hv Henry von Oescn & Associates that
"there does appear to be some potential problems in
coordinating proposed telephone cable construction by
Atlantic Telephone Membership Corp. and sewer
system installation by contractor R.H. Moore and Co.,
set a meeting Monday, Sept. 16, at 10 a.m. at the town
hall for the mayor, representatives of the engineering
firm and contractor, and Jackson Canady of the
telephone company. They will work out what work is to
be done and how it is to be coordinated.
Hired Connie Johnston as permanent bookkeeper,
following a standard six-months probation period.
Approved a 30-day extension in which owners of
vacant lots will be able to sign up for sewer system tapons
at a $100 discount of the base price of $900. This will
enable the contractors to iastall more laterals now,
while laying the main sewer lines. A previous 30-day
sign-up period drew good response, town officials said.
Agreed to a proposal from the N.C. Department of
Archives and History for sending copies of town records
to the state for microfilming and permanent recording.
Heard from Haskell Rhett, a land use planner with
the N.C. Department of Natural Resources and Community
Development, about the procedures to be
followed in updating the town's land use plan. At least
two public hearings will be required, along with state
review of the plan, before it can be adopted by the town.
Afterwards, the Coastal Resources Commission will
hold a public hearing of its own before adopting a revised
plan. A state planning grant will help finance the
work, to be completed by a Wilmington engineering
firm.
Approved a revised soil sedimentation and control
ordinance that reflects new state and federal requirements.
Among other things, it adds a stormwater
ninnaypmont nlnti r??miiromi>nt nr$H rpnnirnc thp tnu.-n
to base its erosion and soil plans on a maximum peak
rate of runoff for a 10-year category storm.
It also says that the local Soil and Water Conservation
District will be allowed 20 days in which to comment
on any permiLs the town proposes to issue, with
the comments advisory only in nature.
The ordinance gives the town authority the right to
require projects that involve more than one acre of land
to submit a soil sedimentation and control plan for approval
30 days in advance. If the plan doesn't work in
practice, the town has the authority to "make you make
it work," Kobcrson said.
