UNCP moves Cash Bash to October; changes to virtually setting
LUMBERTON — About 3,500 Duke Energy customers in Lumberton experienced power outages Monday evening into early Tuesday morning, but the bulk was not related to Hurricane Isaias.
“The only strange thing that happened was around 6 p.m. when a lot of the city lost power,” said Bill French, director of Lumberton’s Emergency Services. “The storm hadn’t even got here yet.”
The director of electric power services, Lamar Brayboy, said that about 3,000 consumers in the city, adding up to several businesses, had lost strength due to an electrical substation.
“We had mechanical problems, gadgets at the substation,” Brayboy said.
A paint crew capable of repairing the force in less than an hour.
“The branch of applications has done a task of regaining strength,” French said.
French and other emergency and utility personnel throughout the county reported minimal to no damages related to Isaias.
Isaias made landfall Monday night at Ocean Isle Beach in Brunswick County as a Category 1 hurricane, according to the National Hurricane Center. By 6 a.m. Tuesday, the storm had moved into Virginia, having been in North Carolina for about seven hours.
The typhoon’s risk prompted state-of-the-state statements from the towns of Maxton and Red Spring and Robeson County. St. Pauls imposed a curfew from 8 p.m. Monday at 6 a.m. on Tuesdays.
Maxton was lifted Tuesday at 1 p.m. and the county was rescied on Tuesday.
The Red Springs ordinance will remain in position to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but the order imposes no restrictions on the public, executive chairman David Ashburn said.
About five thousand storm-related blackouts occurred from Monday afternoon to Tuesday morning, but the entire force was restored around 5 a.m. on Tuesday, Brayboy said. Most disorders were caused by damage to a primary circuit and by power lines that had fallen from falling tree branches.
French said the winds had reached 27 mph in the city and that there had been “flooding located on the streets.”
“It wasn’t constant, so I don’t think it caused any major damage,” French said. “We fared a lot better than we thought we would.”
Robeson County Director of Emergency Management Stephanie Chavis reported an uneventful afternoon.
County Communications reported no structural damage as a result of the storm, and the North Carolina Department of Transportation reported no road closures, Chavis said. The Emergency Operations Center has returned to general operations.
“Thank God for the magnitude, however, it’s still a smart practice for emergency management,” Chavis said. “Keep us alert.”
According to the application company, about 270 Duke Energy consumers in Robeson County lost power. The remaining 4 consumers were readmitted on Tuesday afternoon.
Lumbee River Electric Membership Corporation reported no outages, said Walter White, LREMC’s vice president of Corporate Services.
“We’re lucky Array,” White said. “We’re lucky. We dodged a bullet.
White said LREMC received about 400 power outage calls Monday night in neighboring Hoke County, but all customers had power restored by 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Lumberton won about 1.38 inches of rain, said Rachel Zouzias, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. At 0700 on Tuesday, the Lumber River water point at Lumberton 11.1 feet.
The river expected to peak about 12 feet on Wednesday, one foot below the 13-foot flood level.
“You were successful,” Zouzias said.

There is a large number of individuals, nearly 800, who did not have a race listed, so they could change the numbers somewhat, but probably not the order.”

LUMBERTON – Funds must now be obtained to help crisis North Carolina citizens pay for their cooling or heating expenses or safe cooling or heating resources.
The North Carolina Department of Health and Social Services Crisis Response Program provides assistance to qualified low-income families experiencing a cold or heat crisis in winter.
“We know that many families are recently facing new monetary difficulties as a result of COVID-19, and this program is designed to help others in crisis alleviate refrigeration or heating emergencies,” said David Locklear, Deputy Director of Economic and Family Services, Social Services Division. “North Carolina is entering its warmest months of the year and we expect eligible Americans to take advantage of this program to help their families stay healthy.”
A family is in crisis if it is living or in danger of experiencing a life-threatening emergency or related to its fitness and that cannot obtain sufficient, timely and adequate assistance from any other source, according to THE NCDHHS. A life-threatening emergency is explained as a family that does not have a heating or air conditioning source or realizes the number one heating or cooling, and the fitness or well-being of a family member would be in jeopardy if the heating or air conditioning crisis was not relieved.
The Energy Program Application Form must be downloaded to https://epass.nc.gov so that applicants can print and mail, fax, scan, or leave at a local DSS workplace upon completion. Applications can also be made by calling the county branch of the county’s social facilities or the workplaces of the county’s social facilities, until June 30, 2021, while the budget must be on. Households are evaluated separately through the branched branches of social facilities staff to determine if there is a heating or air conditioning crisis. The benefits for families would possibly vary depending on the amount needed to mitigate the crisis.
To qualify, a family will need to have at least one user who meets certain criteria, in addition to being eligible for income, and have a heating-like or air conditioning emergency. All major eligibility points must be obtained online at www.ncdhhs.gov/crisis-intervention-program.
The Crisis Response Program is funded through the federal government through the Administration of Children and Families. The budget is distributed through county social departments directly to the provider or application.
LUMBERTON – The Board of Commissioners voted Monday to participate in the forums of two county agencies.
The board voted 5-3 to approve Raymond Cummings’ move for commissioners to oversee the county’s fitness and social governing bodies. The vote means that any of the forums will now act as advisory committees and that the Board of Commissioners will make final decisions on departmental matters.
Board of Commissioners Lance Herndon and Commissioners Pauline Campbell and Jerry Stephens voted for Cummings’ motion. Vice President Faline Dial and Commissioners David Edge, Tom Taylor, Roger Oxendine and Raymond Cummings voted in favor.
“I think it’s too big a task to do over the phone,” Commissioner Jerry Stephens said.
Campbell tried to make a motion to table Cumming’s motion until the next meeting after more information could be gathered, but her motion failed because his had already passed.
“I don’t think it’s fair,” Stephens said.
Stephens asked County Attorney Rob Davis to consult with the Lumber River Council of Governments to determine whether Campbell’s replacement move would have been enough to overturn the vote. Davis stated that only one movement can be considered at a time and that the vote was approved a moment before Campbell’s movement. But the lawyer said he’d ask.
“I didn’t expect to make that decision,” Herndon said. “I’m not for that.”
The resolution had been discussed through the Board of Commissioners for approximately two years, with the concept that the Lumber River Governing Council could take over, Taylor said.
“I’m a member of the DSS board of directors, and I haven’t said it once,” Herndon said.
In other news, the commissioners approved the granting to the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of the authority to claim a state of emergency of the county if necessary, without the meeting of the entire council. This would allow the council to begin responding to emergencies, such as Hurricane Isaias, in the future.
At Monday’s meeting, Commissioners Edge, Stephens, and Oxendine said they sought advice to meet at the county’s new administrative construction on North Chestnut Street. County director Kellie Blue said she’d make paintings to make that happen.
The commissioners were told the county plans to move the Robeson County Wellness Center into the old administration building on Elm Street, Blue said.
Plumbing and other issues need to be addressed before that can happen, she said. A plan for meeting in the new building will need to be sketched out and presented to commissioners.
“I’d like to see that breakthrough, and I sense we still can’t do as many things at the time,” Edge said.
Blue told the Commissioner that plans to demolish the construction of the DSS in North Carolina were blocked because the cost, $700,000, is too high at this time.
“Know that I’m actively demolishing subsidies for this,” Blue said.
The director of the county’s fitness department, Bill Smith, told commissioners that Robeson County now has the highest percentage rate of positive COVID-19 instances in the state, after overtakeing the county. American Indians in the county have the highest rate of positive results, followed by African Americans and some whites.
“He’s in this community,” Smith said. “It’s not employee paintings anymore.”
He’s worried about this school year’s students, Smith said. But, in the first place, it would never have been closed.
“We’d have what worked and what didn’t,” Smith said.
The county’s director of emergency management, Stephanie Chavis, briefed the commissioners on the arrangements for Isaias, a tropical typhoon when the assembly began.
Chavis said citizens were encouraged to take refuge on the site with a circle of family or friends due to COVID-19 restrictions that would hinder shelter operations.
She said the first to respond were on duty, they would be ordered to retire if the winds were 35 mph or more.
“They know to expect the worst during the night,” Chavis said.
The threat of tornadoes would be high Monday evening into Tuesday morning, she said.
“We can just flash floods,” he said.
Also on Monday, the Commissioners congratulated the Departmental Director of Information Technology, Terry Buchanan, on his appointment as Vice President of the National Association of Counties on the Telecommunications and Technology Steering Committee, as well as for his positions on the Art and Culture Commission and the Standing Committee on Information Technology.
In some areas, commissioners approved:
– An app to rezonate a 0.45-acre track at 242 Terry Sanford Drive in Maxton from the Residential Agricultural District to the Residential District to allow the owner, Terry Pate, to build a two-story garage.
– An application for a conditional use permit through Charles Hunt to allow the structure of a third space on approximately 2.50 acres at 102 Milestone Drive in Lumberton.
– An application for a conditional use permit from Revels Insurance Agency Inc.’s Herdman Ronald Revels III to pave the way for a used car dealership’s status quo at 13567 U.S.301 North in St. Pauls.
– Adoption of the Bladen, Columbus and Robeson Regional Mitigation Plan.
– Accept $6,000 offers and 162 Summer Hill Road advertising on Lumber Bridge and a $4,000 offer plus asset advertising on Pansey Drive in Maxton
The Commissioners implemented a conditional use permit for Ronald and Jean Bruton to allow the status quo of a mechanical workshop on approximately 58.24 acres of land in North Carolina 211 West. Commissioners are asking for more documents and plan to review the request at their September meeting.
