Va Pilot 1 - OB Sentinel 0

With the start of the League Championship series today (GO Phillies!), I guess I am thinking about keeping score. Score one for Katherin Kozak at the Va. Pilot who got the story right about the destruction of the Winslow Cottage in Nags Head Historic Cottage Row District. Kate talked to owner Rob Morris and got his side of the story and presented an article that represented his intentions fairly.
Compare that Pilot article to the hatchet piece in the Sentinel on the same subject. The writer made no apparent attempt to contact Morris instead relying on statements by former Manteo Mayor and historic property owner John Wilson. John has a lot of good ideas about the historic district but he doesn't know what Rob Morris is planning. The Sentinel article even misidentified the cottage as one formerly owned by Buddy Davis. In fact Morris bought the Winslow cottage which will be destroyed and the Davis cottage which will be kept. The sentinel left Morris's plans vague saying only that He plans to build a larger multi-bedroom structure in its place.
In fact Rob Morris will build a larger structure but he will do it as a recreation of the existing structure with as much original material as possible.
Lets hope Rob does what he says he will do. I believe him and I respect his desire to do the right thing. I can't respect reporters who misrepresent the news and can't even get the story right.
