NEW HANOVER COUNTY, NC (WECT) - During Monday's Board of Commissioners meeting, the Board unanimously agreed to spend over $600,000 to help CFCC fix their mold problem in one of the buildings on campus.

The ground floor of McLeod building has a serious mold and mildew problem. Some employees from the building have been moved to temporary mobile units.

David Hardin, CFCC spokesperson, said the building is still safe for students and classes since the mold problem is contained to the bottom floor.

However, repairs are needed immediately to prevent the problem from getting worse.

"It's a major building," said Hardin. "It's on the ground floor so it's important we can get this problem fixed correctly and don't put a band-aid on it. We want it fixed the right way. It affects the air handling for the entire building so we need a new air conditioning unit."

WILMINGTON -  Cape Fear Community College is looking for aspiring artists or hobbyists who are interested in honing their artistic skills. Due to popular demand, CFCC will add three new courses in the arts this spring. The college is seeking students for courses in painting, stained glass mosaics, and acoustic guitar. The exact dates, times and costs for these classes will be set once enough student interest is received. Students are encouraged to pre-register as soon as possible.

Paint It!  Decorative Techniques Masteries: Students will learn a variety of painting techniques through demonstration and creative experimentation.  These skills will be used for painting and refurbishing furniture, walls and decorative objects.  Some techniques to be mastered include color mixing, paint application, pattern creations, stenciling, and hand decorating. Taught by Kerri Ferrari-Marchese.
