Skeletons Found Under Golf Course on Bald Head Island



Three sets of human remains were found by workers on Bald Head Island while renovating the golf course. Early opinions suggest the remains may be from Civil War soldiers or perhaps even earlier. At least one person suggested that the remains could be from a Native American.

The remains will be sent to Raleigh to be studied by State Archaeologists.

Boiling Spring Lakes, NC To Finally Get Sewer Service



After years of wishful thinking and speculation, the municipality of Boiling Spring Lakes, NC looks like they will finally be getting public sewer service. In an agreement reached with Brunswick County, the City of Boiling Spring Lakes agreed to turn over their water distribution business and infrastructure in exchange for County provided sewer service.

The sewer service is first anticipated to only provide service to the commercial properties located within the City of Boiling Springs Lakes along Highway 87, Garage Road and West Boiling Spring Road. Future development and expansion could include residential customers.

City officials expect the system to be operational in about 3 years.
