on a very regular

04:15.221 --> 04:16.723 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
This is a building
04:16.823 --> 04:19.592 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
where absolutely every
foundation was a challenge
04:19.692 --> 04:22.996 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
and every column had to be
very carefully located.
04:23.096 --> 04:25.198 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
They were pushing the envelope
04:25.298 --> 04:28.067 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
in ways that are
almost unimaginable.
04:28.167 --> 04:30.303 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(narrator)
Deitrick worked
with Muirhead Construction
04:30.403 --> 04:33.006 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
to bring
Nowicki's vision to life,
04:33.106 --> 04:36.042 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
including a roof
with a 300-foot free span
04:36.142 --> 04:37.877 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
and no interior columns,
04:37.977 --> 04:40.146 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
supported
by high-strength steel cables
04:40.246 --> 04:43.716 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
draped across the span,
inspired by the cables
04:43.816 --> 04:47.353 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
supporting San Francisco's
Golden Gate Bridge.
04:47.453 --> 04:48.855 align:left position:30%,start line:5% size:60%
(Place)
So these cables,
04:48.955 --> 04:51.224 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70%
which are to resist gravity,
04:51.324 --> 04:52.792 align:left position:57.5%,start line:5% size:32.5%
are very poor
04:52.892 --> 04:54.460 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5%
in terms of resisting wind.
04:54.560 --> 04:57.096 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
In fact, they put up
no resistance to wind,
04:57.196 --> 04:59.165 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
so this roof
would literally kite
04:59.265 --> 05:01.067 align:left position:50%,start line:83% size:40%
under that kind
of wind suction.
05:01.167 --> 05:04.337 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
So to hold the roof down,
we have a series of cables
05:04.437 --> 05:05.938 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
running in this direction.
05:06.039 --> 05:08.641 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
We sometimes call them
the wind-resisting cables,
05:08.741 --> 05:10.109 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
and they're there
05:10.209 --> 05:13.112 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
to keep the roof
from flying away, basically.
05:13.212 --> 05:15.048 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
They have to be
countertensioned
05:15.148 --> 05:18.151 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
so that no flutter
develops in the roof
05:18.251 --> 05:22.522 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
under any kind
of wind disturbance.
05:22.622 --> 05:26.159 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
And Nowicki needed a structure
around the boundary
05:26.259 --> 05:28.795 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
that would be
comparably efficient
05:28.895 --> 05:30.663 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
in resisting gravity forces,
05:30.763 --> 05:33.766 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
and so just as he
chose a parabola
05:33.866 --> 05:36.969 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
for the shape of these, uh,
gravity cables,
05:37.070 --> 05:39.405 align:left position:45%,start line:83% size:45%
he also used
a compression arch
05:39.505 --> 05:40.773 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
around the boundary
05:40.873 --> 05:43.109 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
which is parabolic
in shape also.
05:43.209 --> 05:45.278 align:left position:25%,start line:77% size:65%
(narrator)
The two arches
that support the roof
05:45.378 --> 05:47.980 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
are key to the way
this building works,
05:48.081 --> 05:50.717 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
architecturally
and visually.
05:50.817 --> 05:53.453 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(Place)
The history of architecture
during World War II
05:53.553 --> 05:55.421 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
placed a lot of emphasis
05:55.521 --> 05:57.790 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
on what we call
fascist architecture.
05:57.890 --> 05:59.826 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
There was a deliberate attempt
05:59.926 --> 06:01.894 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
to obscure
the purpose of buildings
06:01.994 --> 06:05.598 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and to hide what went on
inside of buildings.
06:05.698 --> 06:08.034 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
One of the ways
that modern architecture
06:08.134 --> 06:10.069 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
expressed its optimism
06:10.169 --> 06:12.572 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
and its desire
to get away from that
06:12.672 --> 06:15.842 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
was to be as open as possible.
06:15.942 --> 06:17.577 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
Buildings expressing
their purpose
06:17.677 --> 06:21.581 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%

12:24.510 --> 12:25.778 align:left position:10%,start line:5% size:80%
and swim ashore.
12:25.878 --> 12:28.114 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
And some horses
were simply left behind
12:28.214 --> 12:29.849 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
when colonies failed.
12:29.949 --> 12:32.351 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
A nonprofit
has a mission,
12:32.451 --> 12:34.687 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and it benefits the greater
good of the community.
12:34.787 --> 12:37.523 align:left position:22.5%,start line:77% size:67.5%
(narrator)
Karen McCalpin
is a colonist of sorts,
12:37.623 --> 12:40.559 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
a transplant to the Outer
Banks from Pennsylvania,
12:40.659 --> 12:43.562 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
lured here by the prospect
of her dream job,
12:43.662 --> 12:46.232 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
managing the northernmost
population of wild horses
12:46.332 --> 12:49.969 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
as director of the nonprofit
Corolla Wild Horse Fund.
12:50.069 --> 12:52.705 align:left position:22.5%,start line:77% size:67.5%
(McCalpin)
They've been here
almost five centuries,
12:52.805 --> 12:55.975 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and the United States
Fish and Wildlife Service
12:56.075 --> 13:02.214 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
defines them as nonnative,
feral, invasive pest animals.
13:02.314 --> 13:04.216 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
I'm not native, but, uh,
13:04.316 --> 13:07.586 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
I don't know how long you
have to live here to be native.
13:07.686 --> 13:10.189 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
It seems like five centuries
oughta be plenty of time.
13:10.289 --> 13:12.358 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
They're just amazing horses.
13:12.458 --> 13:14.360 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
(narrator)
Amazing,also, is a good word
13:14.460 --> 13:16.796 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
to apply to early
preservation efforts.
13:16.896 --> 13:19.965 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(McCalpin)
The organization
was actually formed in 1989
13:20.065 --> 13:23.769 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
as a completely all-volunteer,
grassroots organization
13:23.869 --> 13:27.673 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
by a group of residents
who hadbecomedconcerned
13:27.773 --> 13:31.343 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
as more and more horses
began to get hit on 12,
13:31.443 --> 13:36.715 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
as development, uh, increased
between Duck and Corolla,
13:36.816 --> 13:41.620 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
and in 1989, a stallion
by the name of Star,
13:41.720 --> 13:44.890 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
with whom everyone
was familiar, was killed,
13:44.990 --> 13:47.326 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
and that was the last straw,
so to speak.
13:48.694 --> 13:51.530 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(narrator)
The herd count in the area
threatened by development,
13:51.630 --> 13:53.199 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
here counted by helicopter,
13:53.299 --> 13:56.735 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
had diminished to about 20
by the early '90s.
13:56.836 --> 14:00.673 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
By the time Karen arrived
on the scene in 2006,
14:00.773 --> 14:03.342 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
the horse population
was on the rise
14:03.442 --> 14:06.512 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
with 7,500-plus
protected acres to roam,
14:06.612 --> 14:07.880 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
including portions
14:07.980 --> 14:10.216 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
of the Currituck National
Wildlife Refuge
14:10.316 --> 14:13.652 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and some low-impact
residential developments.
14:13.752 --> 14:16.188 align:left position:20%,start line:77% size:70%
(McCalpin)
The horses really have
five main habitat areas.
14:16.288 --> 14:18.791 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
They eat the coarse grasses
that grow on the dunes
14:18.891 --> 14:20.226 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
and the sea oats.
14:20.326 --> 14:21.961 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
Behind the dunes,
there's dry meadow,
14:22.061 --> 14:23.229 align:left position:37.5%,start line:89% size:52.5%
wet meadow,
14:23.329 --> 14:24.663 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
there's a maritime forest
14:24.763 --> 14:26.732 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
that runs up the middle
of the island.
14:26.832 --> 14:28.334 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
That's basically
its highest point.
14:28.434 --> 14:30.669 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
You'll find them there
in the winter eating acorns,
14:30.769 --> 14:32.037 align:left position:32.5%,start line:89% size:57.5%
like the deer.
14:32.137 --> 14:35.407 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
And then, of course, along
the sound there's the marshes.
14:35.507 --> 14:37.409 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
We have the area,
for our purposes,
14:37.509 --> 14:41.213 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
divided into four zones, and,
uh, we know whichharems,
14:41.313 --> 14:43.115 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
and a harem
is a dominant stallion
14:43.215 --> 14:45.084 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
and generally
one to four mares--
14:45.184 --> 14:47.419 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
some have more,
some have less.
14:47.519 --> 14:50.689 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
We know which harems we're
going to find in which zones,
14:50.789 --> 14:53.259 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
and so they move freely
within that zone.
14:53.359 --> 14:56.362 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
They rarely move out of that
area because if they do,
14:56.462 --> 14:58.163 align:left position:15%,start line:89% size:75%
they risk losing their mares
14:58.264 --> 15:01.100 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
to the dominant stallion
in the next zone.
15:01.200 --> 15:02.768 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
(narrator)
It may seem unusual
15:02.868 --> 15:05.104 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
to see wild horses
grazing around houses,
15:05.204 --> 15:07.406 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
but that's the nature
of things here,
15:07.506 --> 15:09.508 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
where civilization
and history meet
15:09.608 --> 15:12.511 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
in a uniquely
accommodating way.
15:12.611 --> 15:14.113 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
(McCalpin)
One of the things
15:14.213 --> 15:16.181 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
that we spend
a tremendous amount of time
15:16.282 --> 15:17.783 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
and effort doing is educating,
15:17.883 --> 15:19.852 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
both on the beach
and behind the dunes,
15:19.952 --> 15:23.856 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
because the wild horses here
are tolerant of humans.
15:23.956 --> 15:27.026 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
That's why you can drive by
one of them grazing
15:27.126 --> 15:29.361 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
and they probably
won't even look up at you.
15:29.461 --> 15:32.264 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
But they can be standing
along the shoreline
15:32.364 --> 15:33.732 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
and looking very peaceful,
15:33.832 --> 15:36.936 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
and people start to gather
around and take pictures,
15:37.036 --> 15:40.105 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
and suddenly a rival stallion
appears on the dune line
15:40.205 --> 15:42.374 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
and comes down--
thundering down the dune.
15:42.474 --> 15:46.245 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
Now you're in the middle of
a very brutal, vicious fight.
15:46.345 --> 15:48.914 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
They will not care whether
you're standing there or not--
15:49.014 --> 15:50.549 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
your vehicle's there,
your child's there,
15:50.649 --> 15:52.318 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
your chair's there.
15:52.418 --> 15:54.820 align:left position:20%,start line:77% size:70%
(narrator)
The most enduring threat
to the Corolla horses,
15:54.920 --> 15:57.389 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
however, is neither
commercial encroachment
15:57.489 --> 15:59.224 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
nor the wild horse tourism
15:59.325 --> 16:01.593 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
that has blossomed
in the area.
16:01.694 --> 16:03.429 align:left position:35%,start line:89% size:55%
It's genetic.
16:03.529 --> 16:06.665 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
The gene pool is collapsing
due to inbreeding.
16:06.765 --> 16:09.501 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
Dr. Gus Cothran
of Texas A&M University
16:09.601 --> 16:12.938 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
is the leading expert
on wild horse genetics.
16:14.106 --> 16:17.142 align:left position:20%,start line:77% size:70%
(McCalpin)
In 2007, we pulled, uh,
DNA samples
16:17.242 --> 16:18.978 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
with remotely delivered darts,
16:19.078 --> 16:21.413 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
and in 2008,
the results came back
16:21.513 --> 16:25.117 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
that we had one of the lowest
levels of genetic diversity
16:25.217 --> 16:26.952 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
of any wild herd anywhere.
16:27.052 --> 16:30.622 align:left position:15%,start line:5% size:75%
(Cothran)
So that means that they
have lost genetic diversity,
16:30.723 --> 16:33.359 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5%
relative to other
horse populations.
16:33.459 --> 16:36.729 align:left position:17.5%,start line:5% size:72.5%
And that's likely due,
or almost certainly due,
16:36.829 --> 16:38.964 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
to the very small
population size
16:39.064 --> 16:41.000 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
that existed at one time.
16:41.100 --> 16:45.371 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
Small population size
means inbreeding,
16:45.471 --> 16:49.875 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and inbreeding means
loss of genetic variability.
16:49.975 --> 16:53.479 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(narrator)
Mitochondrial DNA research
in Dr. Cothran's lab
16:53.579 --> 16:57.383 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
provided clues to the Corolla
horses' ancestry.
16:57.483 --> 17:01.420 align:left position:20%,start line:77% size:70%
(Cothran)
All of the barrier island
horse populations,
17:01.520 --> 17:04.656 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
which are now isolated
from each other,
17:04.757 --> 17:07.359 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
show closer relationship
to each other
17:07.459 --> 17:09.361 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
than they do to anything else,
17:09.461 --> 17:12.264 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
suggesting
some common ancestry.
17:12.931 --> 17:15.934 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
But by looking
at particular variants
17:16.035 --> 17:19.104 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
that we know
where they are most common
17:19.204 --> 17:21.673 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
and where they
most likely come from,
17:21.774 --> 17:24.777 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
we have clear evidence
that the, uh, Banker horses
17:24.877 --> 17:29.014 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
have some old Spanish blood
in them.
17:29.114 --> 17:31.650 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
And that could only
have come from something
17:31.750 --> 17:34.253 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
probably three
to four hundred years ago.
17:34.353 --> 17:36.321 align:left position:25%,start line:77% size:65%
(narrator)
There are three zones
of wild horses
17:36.422 --> 17:38.824 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
along North Carolina's
Outer Banks:
17:38.924 --> 17:43.262 align:left position:12.5%,start line:83% size:77.5%
at Corolla, Shackleford Banks,
and Ocracoke.
17:43.362 --> 17:45.130 align:left position:27.5%,start line:5% size:62.5%
(Cothran)
They're all related
to each other,
17:45.230 --> 17:47.466 align:left position:20%,start line:5% size:70%
but they're all different
from each other as well.
17:47.566 --> 17:51.570 align:left position:25%,start line:5% size:65%
And so a small number
of exchanges
17:51.670 --> 17:53.906 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
from Shackleford, for example,
17:54.006 --> 17:56.909 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
will boost the Corolla
variability very quickly.
17:57.009 --> 18:00.345 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
The new genes will circulate
throughout the population
18:00.446 --> 18:02.581 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
over a few generations.
18:02.681 --> 18:05.050 align:left position:20%,start line:77% size:70%
(narrator)
The idea here
is to keep the population
18:05.150 --> 18:06.485 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
at an optimal level,
18:06.585 --> 18:08.153 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
both to maintain diversity
18:08.253 --> 18:10.656 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
and to develop
and manage a population
18:10.756 --> 18:12.991 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
similar to that
established in legislation
18:13.092 --> 18:15.394 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
that protects
the Shackleford ponies,
18:15.494 --> 18:19.264 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
but that proposal is mired
in congressional limbo.
18:19.364 --> 18:21.867 align:left position:17.5%,start line:77% size:72.5%
(McCalpin)
And that is why
we've been working so hard
18:21.967 --> 18:23.902 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
on the Corolla Wild Horses
Protection Act.
18:24.002 --> 18:27.172 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
That languages mirrors
the Shackleford Banks Act,
18:27.272 --> 18:30.609 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
asks for a minimum herd size
of 120 to 130,
18:30.709 --> 18:32.511 align:left position:20%,start line:89% size:70%
with never less than 110,
18:32.611 --> 18:35.948 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
with the added caveat
that we be able to bring, uh,
18:36.048 --> 18:38.217 align:left position:20%,start line:83% size:70%
a limited amount of mares
from Shackleford,
18:38.317 --> 18:43.922 align:left position:15%,start line:83% size:75%
and that is the critical step
that will add new genes
18:44.022 --> 18:47.092 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
to our dying gene pool,
and it is dying,
18:47.192 --> 18:49.428 align:left position:10%,start line:83% size:80%
and they will be gone
in a few generations
18:49.528 --> 18:52.131 align:left position:10%,start line:89% size:80%
if we don't act quickly.
18:52.231 --> 18:53.899 align:left position:22.5%,start line:83% size:67.5%
(narrator)
Meantime, the good work
18:53.999 --> 18:56.802 align:left position:17.5%,start line:83% size:72.5%
of Corolla Wild Horse Fund
continues.
