Bird Island Effort Must Maintain, Increase Momentum, SBTATold BY LYNN CARLSON Bird Island Preservation Society Chairman Bill Ducker on Saturday challenged members of the Sunset Beach Taxpayers Association to re cruit new supporters of the effort to keep the barrier island undeveloped. "Momentum is as important now as it has ever been," Ducker said. Since Sept. 1, 1992, when 10 people formed the organization, the preser vation group has grown to 1,680 families and has raised about $39,000 toward acquisition of the is land by a government agency or conservation organization. The preservation society and SB TA are separate organizations; Ducker was reporting to SBTA's 11th annual Thanksgiving weekend membership meeting about the Bird Island effort. Ducker said permit applications by Bird Island owner Janie Pace Price to build a bridge and causeway to the island and to develop it with single-family homes are likely to be acted upon in the coming year. "Our momentum could have a great deal of impact over those deci sions," he added. "I want you to keep it up, talk about it and encour age people to join." In addition to the Bird Island plea, about 40 SBTA members heard re ports Saturday on topics ranging from its membership to the proposed central sewer system for the island of Sunset Beach. Secretary^Treasurer Minnie Hunt reported that 726 families are now SBTA members. Bridge Study Continues President Clete Waldmilller up dated the gathering on the environ mental impact statement being com piled on the effects of replacing Sunset Beach's old pontoon bridge. SBTA led the effort which result ed in a judge's halting plans for a high-rise bridge to Sunset Beach un til the environmental study is done. Waldmiller reported that 277,000 vehicles were counted crossing the bridge this past July ? 87,000 of them in the first 11 days of the month. "Our momentum could have a great deal of impact over those decisions. . . I want you to keep it up, talk about it and encourage people to join. " ? Bill Ducker, Chairman Of Bird Island Preservation Society Summer and fall studies have been completed to measure the heights of boats passing through the pontoon bridge, he said. "Several sizes and styles (of bridges) are being considered" by the N.C. Department of Transpor tation, Waldmiller said. "The best 1 know, the environmental impact statement will take another year or so before it's complete." The group encouraged Town Councilman-elect Herb Klinker, an SBTA member, to ask council to de vise and publicize guidelines for cit izens about how to deal with the pontoon bridge in case of an emer gency. Sewer Program Hunt updated the members on the proposed central sewer system to serve Sunset Beach and Calabash and on the integrated wastewater management conference set to take place in Wilmington today (Thurs day) and Friday. She said several town council members and "four or five" SBTA leaders were scheduled to attend. Hunt, who lost her bid to unseat Mayor Mason Barber in the recent election, has been critical of sewer consultants' and town council's ar gument that a central sewer will im prove area water quality and reopen shellfish beds which have been closed because of pollution. One audience member asked "Who's for the sewer and who's against it?" Hunt replied, "The developers are certainly for it. Are you asking me to say that the people who'll have to pay for it are against it?" She charged that growth projec tions in the towns' draft sewer feasi bility study "give credence to the idea that it is a developers' system." Beautiflcation Praised Waldmiller commended the Sunset Beach Beautification Com mittee's Christmas decorations on the bridge and town gazebo and commended the group for producing the Sunset Beach flag. The committee also maintains the plantings in flower barrels outside Sunset Beach businesses year-round. Library Service SBTA board member Kathy Kakos asked the group's help in the Friends of the Library effort to raise money for temporary library service while the West Brunswick Branch is closed for renovation and expansion. The library is expected to close in March through summer "when our children could use the extra read ing," Kakos said. Waldmiller said the SBTA board will consider contributing to the ef fort to rent and staff a temporary li brary space.
