Proposed Corolla development sparks legislature to action

Sale of conserved NC seaside tract prompts new law
COROLLA, N.C. (AP) – One of North Carolina’s most powerful politicians wants to stop the sale of land that has received conservation tax breaks.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reported Friday that Senate leader Marc Basnight acted after the conservation group Audubon decided to sell an oceanfront tract.
The Dare County Democrat pushed legislation through the General Assembly last week that prevents the sale of land donated for conservation that has received state tax breaks.
Audubon plans to sell nearly 13 seaside acres in Corolla to a developer building a hotel, shops, and condominiums. The property has become surrounded by homes, a hotel and a drive-in restaurant.
Audubon officials said proceeds would help maintain its 2,600 acres on Currituck Sound.

Used Christmas Trees Can Help Corolla Shoreline
Used Christmas trees bring another gift to NC Outer Banks – Rebuilt Sand Dunes
COROLLA, N.C. (AP) — Discarded Christmas tress could bring their own gift to people along North Carolina’s Outer Banks.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk, Va., reports that officials in Currituck County are collecting Christmas trees for a project to rebuild sand dunes damaged in a November storm.
Crews will tie the trees with biodegradable string to new sand fences installed about 10 feet from the base of the eroded dunes.
Officials say wind-blown sand will catch in the trees, helping to rebuild the dunes in a season or two.
The 60 mph winds and 7 inches of rain from the November storm washed away about half of the dune line protecting million-dollar beach homes in Corolla.

Corolla Stallion Has to Be Euthanized After Collision
Corolla stallion euthanized after running into sheriff’s vehicle
By Jeff Hampton
COROLLA, N.C. – A Corolla wild horse stallion had to be euthanized after he collided with the vehicle of a Currituck County deputy on patrol late Monday night.
One stallion was chasing another stallion when the collision occurred about 10:30 p.m. on the beach of the four-wheel-drive area of the Currituck Outer Banks, said Karen McCalpin, executive director of the Corolla Wild Horse Fund. Both horses were dark-colored and hard to see, she said. The vehicle computer showed the deputy traveling only about 28 miles per hour.
The horse suffered a broken front leg and other injuries and had to be euthanized by officials from the Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
“This was clearly an accident,” McCalpin said.
The stallion was 3 years old, she said.
The North Carolina State Highway Patrol conducted the investigation, according to a release.
This is the third stallion struck by a vehicle this year. In March, a stallion was struck and left to die on the beach. Tips to the Sheriff’s Office led to the arrest of a Virginia woman. She was ordered to pay a $500 fine. Another stallion was euthanized in May after being hit by a vehicle. No one has been arrested in that case, McCalpin said.
