October 3, 2024 | Seashore News | By: Joy Crist | 1
Stripped of its iconic black-and-white stripes, and encased in a tower of scaffolding, the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse is nearly unrecognizable. On the grounds bordering the tower, there are piles of intricate metal pieces that need to be repaired or replaced, including the top level landings and railings. The outer landscape is a patchwork of semi-finished brick and concrete pathways next to thousands of young seedlings that were planted over the summer. An elevator is tacked onto the side of the lighthouse – (which, unfortunately, wasn’t an available asset for the keepers who manned the light from 1870-1939) – and the interior of the structure is a maze of temporary landings and stairs to access the multiple levels. All of this upheaval is a good thing, however, and marks the progress of an unprecedented restoration project that has been in the works for years.

Hatteras Island Community Strings has only been in existence for two years, but like many Outer Banks programs that resonate with the local community, the nonprofit organization has had a steady series of growth spurts and adjustments since launching in 2022. Jessie Taylor, a music teacher for more than 23 years, first started to envision a community music program for Hatteras Island students in 2021. Cemented in her brain, (and later on paper), she had the details readily worked out when she received a phone call from Rev. Gina Miller at St. John United Methodist Church in Avon that would bring her idea to life. An anonymous donor had given $10,000 towards a music scholarship type program, and with the St. John’s Church providing the classroom space, Hatteras Island Community Strings, (affectionately nicknamed “HICS”), hosted its first classes in September 2022.
