LGBTQ Film Series: Longtime Companion
2025-01-28 14:00 - 16:00 | Five Points Center for Active Adults, 2000 Noble Road, Raleigh, NC, 27608, United States
Don’t miss out on our LGBTQIA+ Film Series screening!
Join us for our monthly program on the fourth Tuesday of the month. We will be showcasing films with diverse themes around sexuality and gender. This program is co-hosted with the Carolina Aging Alliance.
All folks 18 and older are welcome! January’s Film is “Longtime Companion.” Longtime Companion follows the lives of a small circle of friends from the first mention of the disease in the New York Times in 1981. First referred to as “Gay-Related-Immune-Disorder,” we watch the effect of the disease as it devastates the lives of our protagonists. Jumping between Manhattan and Fire Island, vignettes carry us from the it-couldn’t-happen-to-me mentality of the early days of the disease to the invasive effect it has had on all of our lives, today.
The title of the film comes from the New York Times’ refusal to acknowledge homosexual relationships in their obituary section during this period. Instead, survivors were referred to as “Longtime Companions” of the deceased.

Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting
2025-01-28 19:00 - 21:00 | Pullen Park Community Center, 408 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC, 27607
Hi CAC neighbors,
Our Hillsborough-Wade CAC meeting is tomorrow evening Tuesday, January 28 at 7:00 PM. Our meeting location is at the Pullen Community Center at 408 Ashe Avenue.
This meeting is critical to making progress this year with Raleigh’s new community engagement efforts. As you may recall, it was a year ago in early February that District E City Councilor Christina Jones introduced a series of motions to re-establish the City of Raleigh’s recognition and support of CACs. While we’ve made some progress this past year, we have much to do this year. Including making sure every Raleigh resident has an equal opportunity to be represented by a CAC where they live. CAC volunteers and City staff need to work together to stand back up CACs in parts of town where they disappeared after the 2020 City Council vote to stop supporting CACs. As a CAC Chair and RCAC Chair, Christina Jones reminded the Council every month for 4 years that the City never came up with any new community engagement opportunities to replace CACs. Almost a year ago Christina led the City Council to reverse that mistake from 2020. Click here or on the WRAL image below to watch a short news report from last February.

Click on above image to watch a news report about CACs.
District E City Councilor Christina Jones will talk about her new appointment as the City’s official liaison to CACs. With Tiesha Mosley and Christina Jones at our meeting this will an excellent start for the new year and community engagement in Raleigh! This meeting will be your opportunity to talk with our new CAC Liaison and Engagement Office Director about efforts by the City of Raleigh to engage Raleigh residents and plans for more progress this year.

AGENDA
• Police report.
• Update about RCAC and outreach to City Council.
• Presentation by Tiesha Mosley, the Director of Raleigh’s Community Engagement Office, about the reorganization of the Community Engagement Office to include Neighborhood Services.
• District E City Councilor Christina Jones will talk about her new appointment as the City’s official liaison to CACs.
• Update on rezoning cases in our CAC.
See you Tuesday evening,
Mike

Lake Crabtree Park-RDUAA Seeks Public Input for Development of 136 Acres Forested Land
2025-01-29 17:00 - 19:00 | RDU Airport Authority Board room 100, 1000 Trade Drive, RDU Airport
Lake Crabtree Park-RDUAA Seeks Public Input for Development of 136 Acres Forested Land
Wednesday, January 29, 2025 (5-7pm)
RDU Airport Authority Board Room 100
1000 Trade Drive, RDU Airport
Parking in “Cell Phone” lot across from rental car returns

The RDUAA has scheduled a Special Board Meeting regarding the future of Lake Crabtree County Park (LCCP) for Wednesday, January 29, 2025 starting at 5pm.
At this meeting, public input will be solicited for development ideas and RESTRICTIONS/LIMITATIONS for 136 acres of land now in forested mountain bike and pedestrian trails. RDUAA is proposing allow private commercial development of this tract into some sort of “entertainment development’ which includes hotel, restaurant(s), retail, similar. Due to a confidentially agreement, the public is not being told what the (also unnamed) developer proposes — a lack of transparency!
We are confident the public will have a lot to say about the proposal to convert one of the most popular features (forested bike/ped trails) of one of the County’s most popular parks into some sort of commercial development. The Umstead Coalition will be suggesting a revisit of the land use Master Plan for the RDU Airport – instead of dismantling our public lands track by track without a strategic plan or extensive community input and evaluation (and transparency).
We should note, Lake Crabtree County Park is exceedingly popular, a true community asset and connected to William B. Umstead State Park, East Coast Greenway, US1 Bikeway, Black Creek Greenway, American Tobacco Trail, and more.
We join others in the community to ask Wake County to purchase these lands to preserve our popular Park.
We have been told each person that has an opportunity to speak will have 3 minutes. You can either sign up to speak (we assume when you arrive) OR just attend to show your support for our public forested Lake Crabtree County Park!

Court Hearing - Wake Stone's Bridge
2025-01-30 09:30 - 12:00 | Wake County Court House, 316 Fayetteville Street, Raleigh
Court Hearing – Wake Stone’s Bridge
Thursday, January 30, 2025 (9:30am – noon)
Wake County (old and tall) Court House Room 10A (10th floor)
316 Fayetteville St, Raleigh, NC 27601
The public is welcome and we would LOVE, LOVE supporters in the courtroom. We are the only case in this courtroom so we would LOVE to see you with us in the court room!
We are guaranteed this hearing time! Due to the last delay that was the court staff’s fault, we finally avoid the “calendar call” and further delays. The actual hearing starts at 9:30am.
This is the hearing originally scheduled for December 2, 2024, but delayed by other cases on the judge’s docket. Then, scheduled for January 13, 2025, delayed by the court staff ‘forgetting’ to schedule our case. Frustrating!
There is a bridge authorization to destroy the riparian buffers along Crabtree Creek (OAH Judge van der Vaart’s April 1, 2024 ruling). This despite the Umstead Coalition had previously won THREE(3) court cases upon Appeal to revoke-they just keep trying and we keep fighting for the law to be followed. Here we go again, for the 4th time!
On April 1, 2024 AOH Judge van der Vaart ruled the Buffer Authorization approved because, get this…. The Buffer Rules (the NC law as implemented by the Rules approved by the NC Environmental Management Commission) is “not clear and unambiguous” (and therefore could not be enforced). Note: Wake Stone did not ask to intervene and is NOT a party to this case- their lawyers should not be allowed to speak during the hearing.
Interestingly, this time, BOTH DEQ and the Umstead Coalition appealed Judge van der Vaart’s April 1, 2024 Ruling. DEQ argued the Rules were clear and DEQ’s staff permit approver was qualified to determine there was no need for alternative analyses to avoid the buffer impacts (note: no party raised any issue about the clarity of the Buffer Rules and DEQ did not present their staff as an expert at trial). The Umstead Coalition agrees the Rules are clear and also argues that Wake Stone should have been required to perform alternative analysis by DEQ to avoid or minimize buffer impacts. In contrast to DEQ’s staff witness, the Umstead presented extensive evidence during multiple days at trial from 3 engineering witnesses as to practical alternatives in design and location that would avoid buffer impacts. After various court filings we finally had an Appeal hearing week scheduled for the week of December 2, 2024. During the calendar call on December 2, we were then scheduled for later that week; but later in the week the judge delayed due to conflicts with his trial cases (note: Wake Stone has proceeded to destroy the Crabtree Creek stream buffer for the bridge, but they are doing this at their own risk and their destructive actions should not affect our court cases-it’s not our fault that DEQ failed to follow the law and various attempts by others that caused court delays and appeal hearing). After some gentle pleading from our attorneys, a new calendar call (and hopefully hearing) was supposed to be held on Monday, January 13, 2025. However, the Court staff failed to schedule. With apologies, the court staff scheduled a Hearing (date and time certain without the “calendar call” step. However, it looks like we will be before the judge that denied our Injunction request despite co-agreed to by DEQ.
We are the ONLY case scheduled for this court room – so YOUR attendance will be noticed and appreciated!
Join us in support: Wake County Court House (the tall one), Room 10-A (10th floor), 316 Fayetteville St, Raleigh, NC 27601
It is always good to have our supporters in the audience; it’s likely to be a small court room so 5 or more attendees is ideal. Here’s what to expect if you attend. Arrive at the courthouse by 9:15am, go through security and take the elevator to the 10th floor, Court Room 10-A. You can come and go from the court room, but can’t talk while court is in session. Try to sit behind our attorneys during the Hearing.
What to expect: We anticipate the Hearing to take about 3 hours. DEQ and the Umstead Coalition are the parties in the Hearing. Wake Stone is NOT a party and can not have any lawyers speak. This is a Hearing where lawyers from each side restate their case before the judge. No witnesses as the contested trial has already occurred. Both DEQ and the Umstead Coalition agree that the Neuse Buffer Rules are clear and van der Vaart’s claim that due to lack of clarity the Authorization (to destroy stream buffers) should be granted is NOT a valid reason to grant an authorization. Given both sides agree, we expect to ‘win’ on this issue. Then, DEQ will argue they followed the Rules. The Umstead Coalition will argue DEQ failed to follow the rules. The Umstead Coalition’s trial with three engineering experts showed that several practical methods existed to avoid and minimize the buffer impacts, as required by law. We are asking the buffer authorization be denied. DEQ’s attorneys job is to defend the DEQ staff’s decision (whether the DEQ staff was correct or not). No witnesses will be called as the trial is in the past. The judge could make some rulings at the Hearing or delay his ruling.
A good option for parking is the Wake County Municipal Parking Deck 216 W. Cabarrus St., on the corners of Davie, McDowell and Cabarrus streets. It’s about a 5 to 10 minute walk to the courthouse.
