Our dear friend and long-time New Hope Advisory Committee member B.B. (Billy) Olive passed away on December 4, 2014 at the age of 93. He swam in the New Hope near Hollow Rock as a boy and his efforts to protect the creek stretch back to the 1970s when he successfully opposed a dam that would have served an industrial plant. Read his News & Observer obituary here.

Hildegard Ryals, former chair of the New Hope Creek Corridor Advisory Committee, passed away on Thursday, November 1, 2012.
Chapel Hill Town Council member Ed Harrison notes: "Hildegard was a force of nature on behalf of the environment, in particular for lands deserving protection. She led the first New Hope Creek corridor preservation efforts, and corralled any number of us to help. Hildegard Ryals was, simply put, a superb role model for those who need to practice persistence in the face of obstacles, which would include all of us."
