Anonymous donation for town pet fountain

Hawaii to WB: Teen paddles Waterman’s path By Johanna Ferebee Contributing Writer

By Terry Lane Staff Writer

Behind funding from an anonymous donation, Wrightsville Beach officials are looking for a location to add a pet fountain to the John Nesbitt Loop. The anonymous $10,000 donation was designated for the building of a fourth pet fountain, said Katie Ryan, Wrightsville Beach parks and recreation program supervisor. The Loop currently features three pet fountains, but the location of these fountains are all on one side of the 2.45 mile path around the heart of Wrightsville Beach. The Loop has pet fountains located near the old Scotchman store on Salisbury Drive, one at Harbor Way Gardens and one near the corner of North Lumina Avenue and Salisbury Street, in front of Bryant Real Estate at 1001 N Lumina Ave. Ryan said town officials are looking for a private-property location on Causeway Drive, near the intersection of Waynick Boulevard. “The goal is to have them more spaced out,” Ryan said. n See FOUNTAIN Page 2

A sixteen-year-old transplant is teaching Wrightsville Beach locals their new favorite sport. Harrison Deisroth, a highlyaccomplished outrigging and stand up paddler, touched down in Wilmington a little over one year ago making quite the impact on the local paddling settlement that had been brewing since 2011. While paddling an outrigger canoe is his true devotion, Harrison has acclimated to an established local hobby and taken a liking to stand up paddling. After picking up the sport upon moving to town last year, he won first place in his age division in April’s Carolina Cup. As the area’s closest ties to outrigging’s ancient roots in Hawaii, the Deisroth family possess a treasured expertise locals can’t seem to get enough of. After spending three years living on the island of Oahu, Harrison’s family absorbed a n See PADDLE Page 2

More mega yachts expected at reopened WB Marina By Terry Lane Staff Writer

After more than three years of renovations, including a replacing of the docks that concluded this April, the Wrightsville Beach Marina celebrated its grand reopening this weekend. With the $4 million upgrade, members of the marina said the facility would be seen as one of the top long-term boat docking stop for both locals and transient boaters. “It’s world class,” said Adam Meyer, director of marine insurance for Wells Insurance. “It will attract more mega yachts.” So far, it already has. A 130foot Westport yacht, registered in Virginia and called the “Beach Girl,” has been parked there for several days. Commodore Ernie McAlister,

which serves in a role similar to board director, said that the past three years of renovations served essentially as a rebuilding of the entire marina. The key upgrade for the marina are the concrete perim-

Last week’s Wells Fargo Championship at Eagle Point Golf Club brought a lineup of the world’s best golfers to Wilmington. It also gave locals an opportunity to get personal contact with the professional golfers. Unlike other many other spectator sports, golf offers a unique ability for fans to intermingle with the players. “A lot of the players were really nice to the kids,” said Mark Ledermann, who brought his two daughters to the tournament. The course was lined with fans seeking autographs, handshakes, fist bumps or simply to wish encouragement to their favorite golfer. n See GOLF Page 2

As part of the renovations on the marina’s building to the north of the clubhouse, crews built a new deck area that will be named “Sam’s Deck.” The marina presented Clary with the sign as part of the Saturday night party. “We did all the renovations at once, it was a huge undertaking, and Sam did a great job of managing it all,” said Rita Merritt, a trustee at the marina.

talking with property owners in the area about hosting the pet fountain. “If we need to install a new water meter, it could cost several thousand,” Ryan said. “It depends on what we come up with.” Ryan said the anonymous donation was unusual, noting the town hasn’t received donations of this type during her tenure.

living legends. During his time in Hawaii, Harrison was mentored by Olympic coach and canoe designer, Johnny Puakea, who visited Wrightville Beach during the Carolina Cup to lead clinics on paddling. “When my mentor was here, he taught me how to paddle and now he’s teaching me how to coach,” he said. “In Hawaii it’s all about giving back once you’ve learned something.” His preferred method of transportation is more often than not strapped to the top of his car. A sleek, 20-foot long, 20 pound lightweight carbon fiber OC-1 Puakea design allows him to pierce the water at up to fifteen miles per

hour. “Right now there isn’t a lot of money in the sport, so you can’t technically make a profession out of it,” Deisroth said. “It’s still seen as a hobby. I see it more as a professional hobby.” With all of the big racing wins and honors under his belt, Deisroth credits the cyclical process of becoming a teacher as his greatest accomplishment in his traveled and accomplished paddling voyage thus far. “I’m fifty, taking lessons from a sixteen-year-old” joked Ray Worrell, owner of Slice of Life Pizzeria. With nearly fifty students under his wing between private lessons

and co-coaching the Wrightsville Beach Outrigger Canoe Club, it’s not uncommon for Harrison to lead someone such as Worrell, who is three or four times his age. “He’s a great coach,” Worrell said. Classes wrap up for Deisroth this week, who’s set to be flown out to Hawaii and Tahiti for a ten week summer stint. Ka Lahui Kai, a junior non-profit program, is sponsoring his travels so that he can lend his craft to the next generation of paddlers. “The races are awesome, but until you give back and you can see it go back into other people, it’s not worth it,” he said.

passion and knowledge for paddling they carried all the way to Wrightsville beach. Barry Blackburn, a friend of the Deisroths, co-coaches the men’s team with Harrison. “Everything I know about paddling I’ve learned from them,” he said. “Harrison is learning from this lineage of legends in Tahiti and Hawaii,” Blackburn said. “It’s this knowledge being passed on from the source of the best technique.” A true waterman, Harrison has mastered the art of paddling from two of the sport’s most honored

And of all the fans lining up, none approached with more enthusiasm than the kids, several who bragged about how many autographs and souvenirs they scored during the tournament. “We had to look for the people in the long pants,” said Sydney Ledermann, 9, on her autograph hunting technique. She bragged of getting 37 signatures, which covered her hat. Sister Avery, 7, also collected a glove from a player’s caddy during the early practice rounds, while friend Addisyn Dwyer collected 7, including from her new favorite player, Billy Hurley.

Hurley got noticed due to his playing with fan favorite Phil Mickelson, who attracted crowds as he crossed the golf course. “My favorite part was when I saw Mickelson putt,” said Jasper King, a member of the Country Club of Landfall PGA Junior League. “And I got a high five from him,” added Atlin Snyder, 10. Otto King, 11, who is on the Landfall team with his brother Jasper, said his favorite part was a dramatic moment with Pat Perez, who finished second in the tournament with a strong performance Sunday. While watching the 16th green, Perez hit a putt that hesitated on the lip before falling in.

“It almost didn’t go in, and then it fell in,” said Otto King said. “Everyone cheered really loud.” The putt kept Perez near the top of the leaderboard, though the tournament was eventually won by Brian Harman, who sank a 28 foot putt on the 18th green to take a one-stroke lead to the clubhouse that he wouldn’t relinquish. After the tournament, several parents talked about how much fun their kids had, most of it punctuated by efforts to meet the players. “There’s not many things that can keep kids entertained for three days,” said Julie Ledermann. “They wanted to keep coming back.” Email terrylane@luminanews.com

“Preserve the old.”

“I think it is dependent upon the historic aspect of the building.”

“The infrastructure isn’t keeping up with the growth in Wilmington. If we damage the environment, we damage tourism. It’s a smaller part of a bigger problem.”

“It depends on what is most cost effective. I think keeping the local character is probably what’s best.”

“Progression is what makes us who we are, but we can’t be who we are without our starting point.”

The workshop will be held at the Northeast Regional Library, and participants can use the Executive Development Center entrance, facing Military Cutoff Road. “Public feedback at this stage in the planning process is crucial,” said Planning and Land Use Director Chris O’Keefe. “Before a draft of recommendations is developed for the New Hanover County Planning Board to consider, we want to make sure that the public’s needs and views are reflected.” The Future Street Plan project is a collaboration between New Hanover County Planning and Land Use and the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (WMPO), with the help of a transportation consulting firm. The first public workshop for the project was held April 25, and more than 80 participants were able to comment on current transportation conditions in the study area.

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y T e rry L a n e It was one of six cottages to survive the great fire of Wrightsville Beach in 1934. But for the Ewing-Bordeaux Cottage at 405 N. Lumina Ave., the hourglass has turned, and if enough money isn’t raised by February 2018, another historic cottage will be lost to development in Wrightsville Beach. The Wrightsville Beach Museum of History told the town’s Historic Landmark Commission that it would cost between $20,000 and $35,000 to move the building, which was recently purchased by Chris and Debbie Strickland. The Stricklands are donating the house on the condition it be moved. Debbie Strickland told the commission that their family wanted the location, but that the house, first built in 1922, was too small for their families needs. “Our goal was to build a house,” she said. “We cherish the past, but we wanted to build a new home our family.” But while they could wait for one year from the Feb. 7 application date, Strickland said the house

would have to be leveled if the funds couldn’t be raised by then. “If we can save the house, we really want to,” said Strickland, pledging to work with fundraising. “I’ll give every ounce of my time and effort.” Because the house is formally registered with North Carolina as a landmark, there is a one-year moratorium before the home can be demolished. It is one of 21 properties in the town designated a historical landmark. The museum’s director, Madeline Flagler, told the commission that fundraising efforts were well underway, adding that two grants have already been found for the project. Tina Williamson, the museum board’s executive director, told the commission that one expense of the move would be setting a new foundation for the building, with fundraisers seeking out prospective construction professionals for donations to help keep those costs low. The museum would use the house as an area to expand its

exhibits and educational spaces. Part of the cottage would be used to house the Watermen Hall of Fame, which includes a series of awards the museum issues each year acknowledging coastal sports, recreation and businesses, including surfing, fishing, boating and sailing. Under the town’s historic building relocation program, the town wouldn’t fund any of the move, but it would provide water and sewer services, in addition to donating a lot at the town’s “historic square” on West Salisbury Street, where the museum, the Wrightsville Beach Visitors Center and the North Carolina Coastal Federation are currently located. Flagler said the new cottage would fit along along nicely with a proposed multi-use trail for nearby Wrightsville Beach Park, which is still in the development stages and not yet funded. “It’s very exciting,” she said. “We see this as the future for the historic square.”

Hook, Line & Sinker Winds hampering early May fishing By Skylar Walters

The spring fishing season is upon us and the fishing conditions are prime for some fabulous fishing to be had, except Mother Nature has other plans for those wanting to wet a line. Water temperatures are reading around 72 degrees, an almost perfect range for some early May fishing. Unfortunately, the winds continue to plague anglers wanting to venture out the inlet and the upcoming weekend doesn’t look all that fantastic either. There were a few windows of opportunities the past week and a few anglers were able to take advantage of those opportunities but for the most part, the majority of fishermen stayed on the hill waiting out some better weather. Probably the most noteworthy reports coming in late last week were the catches of some cobia, and some fat ones at that, with a few pushing the mid 50-pound range. Better fishing is normally reserved for the mid to latter part of the month so expect some good reports to be coming in, in the weeks ahead. For those not up to date on the regulations, there are a few changes to this year’s cobia fishing if keeping one is on your to do list. The cobia season opened May 1st and will close on August 31st. The minimum size limit for cobia has been increased to 36 inches with one fish per person or a total of four fish per vessel if there are more than four anglers on board. The NCDMF would also like for anglers catching cobia to submit catch information either by stopping by an official NC Citation Weigh Station or by going online and submitting via internet at http:// www.ncrecfish.com/cobia/.

The Spanish mackerel fishing continues to produce some strong catches right along the beach and just outside the inlets. Trolling Clark Spoons will cover some water and help find the fish however the majority of those fish are on the smaller side. Those throwing small spoons and Gotcha Plugs are having some decent luck with some much larger fish by sight casting early and late in the day. Bluefish are still plentiful around the inlets as well and even some chopper bluefish are still being reported although they are slowly starting to disappear as conditions warm. King mackerel have been reported as close as three miles off of the Wrightsville Beach area and by the time conditions allow those fish will have already arrived right along the beach. Most fish have been averaging in the eight to 10-pound range with some mid teens fish in the mix. As the baitfish start increasing in area waters, anglers should expect the predators to not be very far behind. Surf anglers have been having some luck with Virginia mullet and black drum while using fresh shrimp. Fishing the deeper sloughs and holes with double dropper rigs during the mid tide are good spots to try. Anglers using cut bait and live minnows have been having some luck with bluefish and an occasional red drum. Inshore, the fishing is still in transition mode with red drum being found around the area docks and creek mouths. Some keeper flounder have also started being reported in the inside waters and as the baitfish increase so should the amount and the size of flounder being encountered.

Big putt gives Brian Harman second tour win Staff Report With a dramatic putt on the 18th green, Savannah, Georgia native Brian Harman won the 2017 Wells Fargo Championship, played at Eagle Point Golf Club in Wilmington. Harman birdied the 71st and 72nd holes to claim his second career PGA Tour win in his 172nd career PGA Tour start at the age of 30 years, 3 months, 18 days. Harman birdied the final two holes to win by a stroke at 10-under 278, over Dustin Johnson and Pat Perez. After the win, Harman praised the course and the tournament as a “bomber’s paradise.” “If you can carry it, you can catch the downslope. I knew if I could hit a bunch of greens and put it well, I’d still have a chance,” Harman said. “We could play here tomorrow. It was firm and fast. It’s a championship golf course.” Harman, who hit 13 of 14 fairways in regulation in the final round, rolled in a 28’ 4” putt for birdie at the par-5 home hole to break out of a tie at 9-under-par.

With the win, Harman collects 500 FedExCup points and moves from No. 32 to No. 9 in the standings. With the win, Harman earns a two-year exemption to the PGA TOUR, extending his fully-exempt status through the 2018-19 PGA Tour season. Johnson, the world’s No.1 player, posted back-to-back, 5-under 67s in rounds three and four to finish tied for second with Pat Perez at 9-under 279. Johnson sank a 15-foot putt for birdie on the 72nd hole to take the clubhouse lead. At the time, co-leader Jon Rahm was on the 15th hole. Perez, who has played the Wells Fargo Championship 13 times, began the final round three strokes back at 5-under 211 posted a 4-under 68 to finish in the second-place tie with Johnson. Harman becomes the 10th player in the 15-year history of the Wells Fargo Championship to come from behind in the final round to win. “Winning number two is really sweet,” Harman said of
