Renourishment project underway in WB By Terry Lane Staff Writer
The heavy construction of beach renourishment began last week in Wrightsville Beach, as crews will work around the clock for nearly two months to move sand dredged from one side of the island to renourishment areas along.
As part of the the federally funded U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ federally-funded coastal storm damage reduction program, Weeks Marine, Inc. of Cranford, N.J. began mobilization of resources on the beach on Feb. 1. The mobilization portion of the project involves installing large pipe on the beach and prepping beach walkovers. The actual
dredging and pumping of sand will begin on or before February 12. The project will begin just north of the Blockade Runner Beach Resort and end just north of the Holiday Inn Resort. Each day, a work area of approximately 1,200 feet will be fenced off and work will continue 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The dredging and beach fill portion of the
Parking costs at a handful of Wrightsville Beach parking lots will go up this year if the town’s board of aldermen approves extending the lots’ hours of operation during its Thursday meeting that were proposed in a recent policy meeting. During the Jan. 25 board retreat meeting, the aldermen discussed extending the time for the parking lots Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, Oceanic Pier, the “L Shape Lot” at beach access No. 4 and the lot at beach access No. 2 by the Shell Island Resort. The increase would add one hour to paid parking, which would still begin at 9 a.m. but would now end at 8 p.m. for these lots. The board will also consider raising the parking costs for the all-day pass, which now costs $15, though board members will vote on raising it to $17. The current all-day
pass rate of $15 cuts three hours of $2.50 parking for visitors. Parking representatives said that the lots that would see the time increase all have bathrooms that could be considered a “premium” amenity, as aldermen said the additional services warranted the increase. The board of aldermen meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Wrightsville Beach Council Chambers.
Coastal Federation offering shuttles for Raleigh offshore drilling public hearing Local advocates say meeting should be close to coast By Mel Beasley Intern
As North Carolina state officials seek to block oil drilling operations off the state’s Atlantic seaboard, local advocates have organized a shuttle program so coastal residents can attend the public hearing, which will be held in Raleigh later this month. The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has scheduled a hearing on Feb. 26 in Raleigh to give the public an opportunity to comment on the Department of Interior’s recent proposal that would open the offshore waters of North Carolina and other Atlantic and Pacific states to oil and gas drilling off the state. The proposal would end the long-time federal prohibition on offshore drilling for these states, which was reaffirmed by the Obama administration in March 2016 before the Trump administration’s proposal in
January to open most of that U.S. Outer Continental Shelf to drilling. However, holding the hearing in Raleigh serves to discourage public comment from coastal residents, local coastal advocates said. “BOEM seems to be trying to reduce public participation by having this meeting in Raleigh.” said former Wrightsville Beach mayor David Cignotti said. “That’s about 150 miles away from the coast. Raleigh residents are not even affected by these coastal areas.” To encourage participation in the public meeting, the NC Coastal Federation has set up a bus shuttle plan to help coastal residents commute to Raleigh on the day of the meeting. “They are going to listen to people who live at the coast,” said Mike Giles, a North Carolina Coastal Federation advocate. “This is our chance to make our
voices heard.” The meeting comes after N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper, D, met with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke on Feb. 3 to raise concerns about the proposal. On Jan. 22, Cooper held a press conference in Wrightsville Beach where he announced that North Carolina would sue the federal government if it included the state in the drilling plan. At the conference, Cooper said he would urge Zinke to grant an exemption to North Carolina similar to the one the department granted to Florida. “I appreciate Secretary Zinke taking the time to come to North Carolina to hear our concerns about offshore drilling off of North Carolina’s coast, but I was clear that today’s meeting cannot take the place of public hearings and a visit in our coastal communities,” Cooper said in a press release. “We’ve listened to n See DRILL Page 2

project will take approximately 30 days. Following the dredging and beach fill portion of the project, there will be a 10 to 12 day demobilization period. Crews will collect sand that is dredged by a ship in Masonboro Inlet, which will then be pumped down as much as 9,000 feet of pipeline. Bulldozers will move the sand into place once in place. With the exception of the area that is fenced for construction, the beach will remain open. Work is scheduled to be completed on or before March 31 provided there are no unforeseen circumstances that would delay the project.

the experts, and opening up our coast would put our economy, our environment, and our coastal communities at risk. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Not Off Our Coast.” The public hearing will provide a platform for coastal residents to raise their concerns about the new plan, the BOEM said. The voices of coastal residents are important data which may play a key role in NC’s exemption of the plan, said Cignotti, a member of Save Our Sea NC, a local group that opposes the offshore drilling proposal. While oil is one of the country’s most valuable energy resources, local officials are concerned about the risk of a spill, which would damage the tourist economy and wildlife. The risks involved with a drilling plan of this magnitude is not worth the potential gain, Giles said. “Our coastal economy is dependent on tourism and historical coastal communities,” Giles said. “People make their living in or on the water. If we had a large oil spill, it would devastate the fishing and tourism industry.” The Department of Interior’s plan would make more than 90 percent of the Outer Continental Shelf available to offshore drilling, while current policy puts 94 percent of that area off limits. Additionally, the program proposes the largest number of lease sales in U.S. history, according to the department. “Responsibly developing our energy resources on the Outer Continental Shelf in a safe and well-regulated way is important to our economy and energy security, and it provides billions of
dollars to fund the conservation of our coastlines, public lands and parks,” Zinke said in a January release introducing the program. “Today’s announcement lays out the options that are on the table and starts a lengthy and robust public comment period. Just like with mining, not all areas are appropriate for offshore drilling, and we will take that into consideration in the coming weeks. The important thing is we strike the right balance to protect our coasts and people while still powering America and achieving American energy dominance.” The plan faces opposition from coastal communities across the nation, according to Oceana, an ocean conservation group. Opponents include the governors of Florida, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, California, Oregon and Washington, along with more than 150 East and West Coast municipalities, 1,200 local, state and federal bipartisan officials, an alliance representing over 41,000 businesses and 500,000 fishing families and the North, South and Mid-Atlantic fishery management councils. “We hope this administration hears the cries of the citizens of North Carolina and requests from the East Coast Governors,
and pulls the Atlantic from this senseless plan,” said Randy Sturgill, a Southportbased senior campaign organizer for Oceana. “Let us see whether Zinke stands with big oil or the citizens that would have the most to lose if oil is allowed to set up shop along our pristine coast. “ To help boost opposition to drilling at the Feb. 26 meeting, the N.C. Coastal Federation will organize buses to transport advocates to the meeting. Buses will depart around noon, and travelers can expect to arrive back home around 9 p.m. that night. Those interested in participating can sign up on the event page at NCCoast.org for $10. Departure locations will include Wilmington, Moorehead City and Nags Head Beach. “If citizens really believe in something,” Cignotti said, “they need to get involved. If we don’t stand up to protect our coast, who else will?” The meeting will be held at the midtown Hilton at 3415 Wake Forest Rd, Raleigh, NC 28609. It will run from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. and will be open for public, written comment. BOEM officials will be available for questions throughout the meeting.

New Hanover County officials have previously estimated about $12 million in remaining available funds, enough for the 2018 cycle and possibly 2022. In addition to staff efforts to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the county has also contracted a lobbying firm to marshal support in Washington, D.C. for continued funding of local “coastal storm damage reduction” projects, the term government officials use to describe a series of beach erosion prevention projects. Ocean Isle Beach, N.C. also received funding for a $3.8 million project, also awarded to Weeks Marine, which will begin at the completion of the Wrightsville Beach project.

“Normally, I’ll just go with it,” Danielle said. “After a while of calling me the wrong name, I’ll just say, ‘By the way, I’m Danielle.” The twins’ father, Tom Cleary, said their resemblance was even stronger when they were younger, recounting how they once exchanged outfits in the Oceanic Restaurant bathroom. “Only their grandfather could tell them apart,” he said. Although the twins say getting mistaken for each other can be frustrating at times, it does come
with its benefits at work. Micaela, who is an esthetician and makeup artist, says bartending with her sister has paid off on occasion. “I’ve had customers before who will mistake me for her and tell my boss that I’ve been doing a great job, when they really meant to compliment Danielle,” Micaela said. Visiting King Neptune’s and seeing the Cleary twins working together can be disorienting for customers at first. However, many patrons have gotten used to the identical siblings and have even found ways to tell them apart.
“You just learn to recognize the little differences,” said Matt Vanderwal, a regular at King Neptune’s. “Not to mention they’ve corrected me a million times.” Seeing the Cleary twins at King Neptune’s can be a surprise, but it’s one of the many reasons people keep returning to the restaurant. “King Neptune’s and the Cleary twins are practically one and the same at this point,” Vanderwal added.

Downtown Sundown Concert Series Accepting Application for Charity Partners Wilmington’s signature summertime concert series returns for its 13th season to Riverfront Park in Downtown. The concerts will run each Friday night from May 25 through August 31, 2018. The free event is from 6:30pm to 10pm and features both local performers and touring bands. Wilmington Downtown Incorporated (WDI) organizes and directs the event. Charity Wristband Program: As a way to involve more local residents and help support other community organizations, WDI partners with area nonprofit agencies to sell and split the proceeds from wristbands sold at the event. Wristbands cost $1 and can be purchased by people who are 21 and older and want to enjoy beer and wine during the show. Last year, WDI raised and donated over $10,700 to area
nonprofits through this wristband program. WDI will use an online voting process to select nine charitable organizations to participate in the 2018 season. The remaining organizations will be selected by a review committee based on their mission and community impact. WDI is now accepting applications from any charity interested in participating this season. Applications are available on the WDI website or by using this link. Applications are due by February 23, 2018. Completed applications can be returned via email at office@wilmingtondowntown.com, mailed to PO Box 2235, Wilmington, NC 28402 or delivered to 221 N.

Operation Cookie Drop 2018 – 1 Million Boxes for the Troops Girl Scouts-North Carolina Coastal Pines is thrilled to announce the Operation Cookie Drop 2018, a council-wide community service project that donates Girl Scout Cookies to deployed military men and women around the globe. Entering its 13th year, Operation Cookie Drop has donated nearly 900,000 boxes of cookies to the military, but for 2018, the goal is to reach 1 million boxes. Through cookies sales, Girl Scouts across central and eastern North Carolina work to receive donations through their local cookie booths, giving customers the option send one or more boxes of cookies to military personnel proudly serving our country. “Operation Cookie Drop is one of our favorite initiatives because
it gives girls an opportunity to give back to the men and women protecting our country,” said Lisa Jones, CEO of GS-NCCP. “Whether it be giving a token of gratitude, a reminder of home, or simply a delicious snack, we encourage everyone to participate in Operation Cookie Drop to show support for our troops.” After collecting the donated boxes, GS-NCCP takes them to local military bases including Seymour Johnson Airforce Base, Cherry Point Marine Base and Fort Bragg Army Base to be shipped out to troops overseas. While Operation Cookie Drop is an opportunity to give back those serving in our military, participating Girl Scouts are also able to develop financial leadership and leadership skills through creative fundraising
tactics. Furthermore, participating girls can earn the Operation Cookie Drop patch once they collect 15 box donations, and girls collecting 30+ boxes will receive the limited edition Reach for a Million patch. People looking to donate cookies as part of Operation Cookie Drop can donate via cash or credit card at local cookie booths. The Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines’ Cookie Program will run through Sunday, March 4, 2018. Locally, all Girl Scout Cookie varieties are $4.00 per box. To find cookies on sale near you, visit www.girlscouts.org/ cookies. For information about Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines’ 2018 cookie season, visit www.nccoastalpines. org.
