Swimmers brave freezing temperatures for coldest WB Polar Plunge yet
NC braces for winter storm State and local officials this week prepared for North Carolina’s first winter storm of 2018, as the Wilmington area saw forecasts for as much as three inches of snow by Thursday 7 a.m. on Jan. 4. Additionally, the National Weather Service Wilmington warned that ice will also create hazardous conditions that could affect the Thursday morning drive. “Antecedent ground temperatures are very cold and any precipitation that occurs will create hazardous driving conditions,” the NWS Wilmington said in a briefing. A winter storm watch began Wednesday for many eastern North Carolina counties and snowfall is expected across the coastal plain on Wednesday afternoon and night. Bitter cold air from an artic high pressure system means temperatures statewide are expected to average well below normal for the rest of the week. People in areas that could see snow are encouraged to be prepared, Governor Roy Cooper said Tuesday. n See STORM Page 2

While temperatures in the 20s, the Wrightsville Beach Polar Plunge saw less attendance than previous years, but organizers said the event on Monday, Jan. 1, 2018 still raised more money than last year’s plunge.
by Jana Mackin Contributing Writer
Facing the coldest conditions yet for the three-year-old event, more than 200 participants decked in little more than swimming suits and shivers charged into the Atlantic Ocean for the Wrightsville Beach Polar Plunge on New Year’s Day. Despite cold temperatures that plunged to the 20s, organizers said they had a limited drop off in attendance, still drawing a crowd of near 300 for the fundraiser that supports Communities in Schools, a nonprofit which empowers more than 1,000 students to stay in school and graduate, said executive director Louise Hicks. Even with fewer
participants, the event raised at least $14,383, topping last year’s total of approximately $12,000, said Hicks, who added that more donations were still expected. While some wore costumesthe UNCW Seahawk, Michael Phelps and the shark, and a formally-attired couple- many just bundled up as long as possible in blankets, coats and hats, sipping chocolate, coffee and tea, munching doughnuts and biscuits. As the horn sounded at noon, a thundering herd of polar plungers sprinted into the crashing waves with shouts of “whooeee” and “it’s freezing” before the swimmers beat a hasty retreat after a few seconds in the water. “What’s a few moments of toughness when helping kids who
are less fortunate?” said Beth Forbes, accompanied by her children, William, 6, and Abigail,11, both swimmers at the Cape Fear Aquatic Club. The kids have plunged all three years and agree this was the coldest “Plunging for a Purpose” in memory. “I do it because I like the ocean. I like to swim and a lot of people benefit from it,” said Abigail Forbes. “I normally swim around in circles to get warm only because my skin is turning magenta.” While a similar polar plunge in Holden Beach was canceled due to the cold, the temperatures tested the mettle of even the most stoic polar plungers. Members of the Hoggard High School swim team acknowledge the freezing
bite of the Atlantic Ocean’s upper 40s degrees water temperature, with temperatures hovering down to the lower 20s. Last year, the Hoggard High swimmers swam off shore and stayed in a circle for about 10 minutes. However, this year’s plunge was considerably briefer. “It was insane. It was so cold,” said Virginia Griffin, 16, Hoggard High School swim team member and event lifeguard. “It was really fast. Everyone got their toes wet and then ran back. The last one of the team was out within a minute.” Besides the swim, the event featured music from DJ Cullen Seward and an after party with n See PLUNGE Page 2
Wolfe House & Building Movers are scheduled to move the EwingBordeaux Cottage at 405 N. Lumina Ave. to a lot on the town’s historic square on Thursday, Jan. 11, but officials with the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History said the move could be delayed if weather conditions are poor. Engineers plan to move the house south on Lumina Avenue, across the Causeway Bridge and west on Causeway Drive to the lot next to the town’s visitor center. Engineers will install a latticework of steel beams underneath the dwelling that will be used for support during the relocation process. The system does not require the use of a truck, instead using a remote control for propulsion purposes. The process is expected to take 4-6 hours.
Wrightsville Beach takes leading role in annual state travel guide By Terry Lane Staff Writer

Eleanor Talley, public relations manager for Visit North Carolina, and Kim Hufham, President and CEO of the Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau, show the front and back covers of the 2018 North Carolina visitors guide, which features surfers and a sunrise on Wrightsville Beach.
Wrightsville Beach, and the silhouette of two of its local residents, will play a central role in attracting tourists to the state in 2018 as the town’s beach strand is one of three images featured on the 2018 Official North Carolina Travel Guide. Along with a a brilliant sunrise that stretches over the front and back of the magazine-sized publication, the guide’s cover features two surfers - a man and woman - walking with boards in hand. Those surfers are Wrightsville Beach’s Tony Butler and his wife, Jennifer DiLullo Butler, who are also featured on a photo spread inside the guide. This annual guide features three cover photos, one representing the state’s beaches, one showing the Piedmont area and one highlighting the mountains.

This cover will inspire people to come visit.”
Visit North Carolina will distribute 500,000 copies of the guide, including stocking it in the state’s nine visitor centers. Connie Nelson, public relations director, at the Wilmington and Beaches Convention & Visitors Bureau, said the cover doesn’t just inspire a visit to North Carolina beaches, but more specifically, the Wilmington area beaches. “It gives added exposure to our area. We’re really proud of it,” Nelson said. The 2018 “Official North Carolina Travel Guide” leads travelers to dining discoveries from Asheville to Wilmington, water-filled adventures from the Alligator River to Turtleback Falls, and a tricentennial voyage through history with Blackbeard.

Regional directories list accommodations and attractions in hundreds of destinations. Three sweepstakes prized with North Carolina weekend getaways corresponding to the destination covers will launch later this month remaining open until January 31, 2018. 2018’s “Official North Carolina Travel Guide” is free. The 172-page print edition is available at the state’s nine Welcome Centers; it can also be ordered at VisitNC.com and 800847-4862 (800-VISITNC). Beginning Dec. 14, readers can link to a digital magazine version from VisitNC.com. The digital version, which includes all three covers, is enhanced by information pop-ups, a social media share feature, search functions and clickable URLs. Responsive design technology automatically adapts the digital guide to desktop, mobile and tablet devices for a seamless, user-friendly experience, no matter how readers access it. The 2018 Travel Guide, the official guide for North Carolina’s state tourism office, was produced by Meredith Travel Marketing. It was financed by private industry support with
nearly $730,000 in advertising in the 500,000 printed copies. Listings for the 900 attractions and 2,900 accommodations and campgrounds were provided for free. The self-mailer format for printed copies reinforces the green initiatives of Visit North Carolina, which is part of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC). The EDPNC is contracted by the North Carolina Department of Commerce to execute North Carolina’s marketing and recruitment functions. The partnership serves to assist efforts in economic development, international trade, and tourism, film and sports development. Tourism remains one of the state’s most vital industries with economic activity and employment generated in each of the state’s 100 counties. In 2016, domestic travelers to North Carolina spent $22.9 billion, which accounts for 218,340 jobs for North Carolinians. State and local tax revenues, as a result of visitor spending, approached $1.9 billion in 2016. Tourism spending creates $497 in annual household savings. North Carolina ranks sixth in total person-trip volume by state behind California, Florida, Texas, New York, and Pennsylvania.

NCDOT Drone Workshops Returning in 2018 The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation is bringing back its popular series of drone workshops for 2018. In 2017, over 500 attendees at four free workshops learned about drone flight operations, data management and dozens of various applications for government and commercial users. Presenters also provided updates on the latest changes in federal and state drone regulations and gave live flight demonstrations. The first workshop of the year will take place in Dallas in Gaston County on Jan. 24. It will focus on the use of drones by public safety agencies such as police and fire departments, and will only be open those in the public safety sector. “Drone technology is quickly advancing and so are the possibilities for a business or government organization interested in using
one,” said Basil Yap, unmanned aircraft systems program manager for NCDOT. “The folks in attendance can expect to come away with a realistic understanding of the possible applications for drone technology and what it takes to effectively implement drones into their operations.” NCDOT hopes to continue to use these workshops to show that this emerging technology can be safe and beneficial. Exact location and dates for other workshops are still being determined. Anyone interested in attending a future workshop can stay in the loop by signing up for the NCDOT UAS events email list.

Countdown to the 2018 Girl Scout Cookie Program Has Begun The most delicious time of year is almost here – the 2018 Girl Scout Cookie Program. This year’s program kicks-off on Saturday, January 13, 2018 and brings back many of the same popular features as last year. Customers will be able to stock-up on and enjoy America’s favorite cookies including classics like Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties, Carmel deLites and – of course – the return of the delicious Girl Scout S’mores. The Girl Scout S’mores was released last year to celebrate a century of the world’s largest girl-led business. When girls participate in the Girl Scout Cookie Program, they go beyond just selling cookies. They develop valuable life skills including goal-setting, decisionmaking, money management, people skills, and business ethics - all while cultivating confidence and practicing leadership. For more than a century, Girl Scouts have been using the power of the cookie to help fund new adventures and skill-building activities including traveling nationally and internationally, funding community service projects to make the world a better place, and attending council-sponsored events in STEM, financial literacy, healthy living, and environmental stewardship. The Girl Scout Cookie Program broadens girls’ experiences, supporting them on their path to leadership. “I think the most important skills I have developed are money management, communication and business management,” said Madeline Fischer,12, one of the top three cookie sellers last year for across the council. “Girl
Scouts does an excellent job getting girls ready for real-life experiences by selling cookies.” Girl Scouts is committed to ensuring all girls receive the necessary skills for a strong foundation in leadership, specifically when it comes to in financial literacy. We strive to provide entrepreneurial programming that prepares girls to lead financially responsible lives. The Cookie Program does just that while also giving girls the opportunity to gain self-sufficiency and confidence. Girl Scouts will also help support local military men and women again this year by collecting donations for Operation Cookie Drop. Operation Cookie Drop is a local community service project that delivers a sweet taste of home to the military through donated boxes of Girl Scout Cookies. Customers can donate funds and boxes of cookies at local cookie booths and through individual sellers. With just over a decade of contributions, Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines has a goal to collect 100,000 boxes this year to reach our one million boxes donated goal. All donations to Operation Cookie Drop go towards each girls’ total box count and Girl Scouts receive proceeds from every box donated to help fund new leadership adventures. When girls participate in Operation Cookie Drop, they also have the opportunity to earn two limited-edition patches. In addition to the limited-edition patches, starting this year, girls can unlock a unique, limited-edition Cookie Pro 2018
patch which celebrates the cookie entrepreneur skills of Girl Scouts. Girls will also have the chance to be featured on a Girl Scout Cookie package and one girl per Girl Scout grade level will be selected as a Top Cookie Pro 2018. Those selected will travel to New York City to participate in an incredible cookie box photo shoot, as well as meet Girl Scout USA professionals and learn about valuable business skills. “According to the Girl Scout Research Institute, girls are clear they need and want financial literacy skills to help them be successful,” said Lisa Jones, CEO of Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines. “The Girl Scout Cookie Program is often their first introduction to financial literacy, as well as other important life-skills such as decision making, people skills, and business ethics. Through the program girls have the chance to build their leadership skills, while also gaining self-sufficiency and confidence.” The Girl Scout Cookie Program begins on Saturday, January 13, 2018. Girl Scouts will sell cookies door-to-door, at booths, and online through Digital Cookie 2.0 powered by Smart Cookies, an online platform and partnership with IBM enabling girls to sell cookies through personalized websites and e-marketing efforts.

Seahawks Give McGrath First CAA Victory UNCW Sports University of North C a r o l i n a Wi l m i n g t o n employed a balanced attack with five players in double figures to deliver C.B. McGrath his first conference coaching victory in a 107-87 blistering of visiting Drexel in a Colonial Athletic Association men’s basketball contest Tuesday night at Trask Coliseum. The Seahawks, concluding a three-game homestand, evened their CAA record at 1-1 and improved to 4-10 on the season. The Dragons suffered their third straight loss and fell to 6-9 and dropped to 0-2 in the loop. UNCW torched the nets for a season-best 58.7 percent and scored a seasonhigh 107 points, cracking
the century mark for the third time and the second time in three outings. It was UNCW’s fifth straight win over the Philadelphia-based club. The Seahawks featured three players with 20+ points, topped by senior guard Jordon Talley’s career-high tying 24 points. Junior forward Devontae Cacok, the nation’s second leading rebounder, finished with 23 points and 16 rebounds – his 10thdoubledouble of the season – and sophomore guard Jaylen Fornes contributed 21. Redshirt sophomore guard Ty Taylor collected 17 points and freshman guard Jeff Gary had 11 points to round out the five in double digits. Talley has now scored 995 points in 107 career
appearances and is close to becoming the school’s 24th 1,000-point scorer. Sophomore guard Kurk Lee and junior guard Troy Harper paced four Dragons in double figures with 22 and 21 points. Sophomore forward Alihan Demir collected 16 points and senior guard Miles Overton finished with 12 for Drexel, which shot 51.6 percent. “We had 14 assists on 19 baskets in the first half and I thought we were playing very unselfish,” said McGrath. “We got a lot of shots at the basket in the second half. We had spurts where we got some stops tonight. “At shootaround, I told the guys that as cold as it is today, we’re going to be hot inside tonight…and it worked out.”
The two teams, wrapping up the opening week of conference play, each needed a win to avoid starting the CAA season at 0-2 and the Seahawks answered the call. UNCW used a 16-2 run midway through the first half to seize control and then kept the lead at double digits throughout the second half. UNCW raced out to a 57-40 cushion at the break – matching their season high for first-half production and scoring more points than in the previous game vs. Delaware – and led by as many as 22 points in the second half. The Seahawks reached their largest lead of the contest with 16:58 to go when Taylor converted a pair of free throws for a 69-47 advantage. The

Jaylen Fornes scored 21 points on 73 percent field goal shooting in the Seahawks win over Drexel on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
Dragons sliced the deficit to 13 points twice in the final period, but couldn’t get closer as the Seahawks rolled in the final minutes. The Seahawks grabbed control early in the contest
and led, 17-15, after senior forward Austin Williams slammed one home for the Dragons at 13:45. UNCW then went on a 16-2 tear over a 4:56 stretch to gain separation and break
the game open. The Seahawks play four of their next five games away from Wilmington, beginning with a 7 p.m. tipoff on Friday vs. Towson at SECU Arena.
