Injured owl found in WB has long recovery, but could be saved By Terry Lane Staff Writer

Town staff recommends approval of permit for Salisbury St restaurant By Terry Lane Staff Writer

Town of Wrightsville Beach planning staff will recommend that the town’s planning board approve a proposed restaurant that would bring a floating dock and outdoor seating to the West

Salisbury Street location that was once a convenience store. The Wrightsville Beach Planning Board will review the proposal for a restaurant at the former “Scotchman” location at 100 West Salisbury St. when it meets on Tuesday, March 6 at 6:30 p.m. at the town hall

After suffering a broken wing and a blow to the head, a great horned owl rescued in Wrightsville Beach last week will have a long road to recovery, but could be a good candidate for educational display at a local bird clinic. The injured owl was found and secured by local residents near the intersection of North Lumina Avenue and Columbia

Street before the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Animal Services Unit transported the bird to Skywatch Bird Rescue in Castle Hayne. Before transporting the bird early Wednesday, Feb. 21, the animal services unit deputy responding to the call was hit by another car in Wrightsville Beach, resulting in DWI charges for a Leland man, while three of his passengers were transported to the hospital. The deputy responding to the bird call was not injured and a supervisor with

the unit came to assist with the owl, which had been discovered before the car wreck, and was then transported to sanctuary. “It’s too soon to tell,” said Amelia Mason, director of Skywatch Bird Rescue.“I’m leaning towards her never being releasable. Her freedom days are over, in my opinion, and we’re going to focus on rehabilitation.” Besides a badly broken wing, Mason said that the owl also had n See OWL Page 2

Firefighters receive commendations for response to bridge wreck By Lena Moriarty Intern

A group of Wrightsville Beach firefighters earn commendations for their response to a Nov. 20 car wreck on the Trask Drawbridge that left three hospitalized after the car flipped over in a singlecar accident. Captain Sara Jordan, Captain Jeff Williams, Captain Robert Pugh, Lieutenant John Scull, firefighter Sam Proffitt, and volunteer firefighters Karli Smiraglia, Bryan Dankanich, Tom Long, Luke Parks and Dwayne Parnell all received

commendations for their timely response following the wreck. “Everyone that responded did a really great job,” said Fire Chief Glen Rogers regarding the team’s response. “It was a very unusual incident, a vehicle had rolled over several times on the drawbridge in the middle of traffic. They don’t see this too often.” Kenneth Edgell, 53, of Rocky Point, told police he swerved to avoid a car turning onto the Trask Drawbridge from Airlie Road causing his car to hit the center median and flip over. “There was one person still in the vehicle when we got there,”

said Captain Robert Pugh. “The traffic was stopped and there was debris everywhere.” The team acted very quickly and there was prompt and professional care, said Chief Rogers of the incident. All three passengers were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. During the wreck, a chihuahua fled the wrecked vehicle, with Wrightsville Beach police officers responding to several reports of the lost dog. The chihuahua was returned to Edgell after being found the following day by police on Pelican Drive.

While the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners could consider another tax cut in 2018, spending on the health of the county’s beaches will continue to be a priority the county budget, the board’s chairman Woody White said in a State of the County video message released on Wednesday. “The health of our beaches will always be important to your commissioners,” White said. “We know

Coast Guard urges mariners to exercise caution as storm system passes mid-Atlantic region Staff Report

The Coast Guard encourages mariners in the mid-Atlantic region to use extreme caution as a major storm system passes through the region later this week. According to a forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service the storm could bring potential winds in excess of 65 mph and seas exceeding 30 feet to certain offshore areas.

how important quality of life is to all of us who call New Hanover County home, and to the tens of thousands who flock here in the summer months.” White touted beach renourishment funding as part of the message, as crews are currently working to add 700,000 cubic yards of sand the beach strand at Wrightsville Beach, which included county funding as part of the $9.5 million project that is primarily paid through federal dollars. The county’s room occupancy tax generates the revenue used for

“Our primary concern is ensuring the safety of mariners,” said Lt. Cmdr. Wes Geyer, command center chief, 5th Coast Guard District. “We encourage all mariners to keep an eye on the weather and avoid putting themselves or their loved ones at risk as the storm passes off the coast.” Here are a few additional tips to help mariners protect themselves, their families and their vessels: n See WARNING Page 2

Documents released Wednesday by the town cite WB Watermen, LLC as the developer, which N.C. Secretary of State records show Reggie Barnes as the registered agent. However, the town documents listed Eric Jabaley as the agent for the owners in the project.Barnes started Eastern Skateboard Supply in

1985 and owns several buildings around Wrightsville Beach. He was also inducted into the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History Watermen Hall of Fame in October 2017. While town staff said several conditions must be met, it otherwise recommended that the town’s planning board approve the request for the conditional use permit.

coastal storm risk reduction projects and with limited remaining federal funding available, local and state officials have said these projects may require more local funding in the future. Meanwhile, White said that the county could consider again lowering taxes in 2018. Last July, the board approved the first property tax cut in 14 years, lowering the rates by 2.36 percent, while also dropping the landfill tip fee by 4 percent. Without offering specifics, White said in the video that the board could lower taxes again this year. “We’ll continue to meet our core obligations while also giving your pocketbook another break and lowering your taxes even more,” White said. The State of the County message also included the following: · WATER QUALITY: The county is dedicated to

upgrades, the preliminary designs submitted to the town showed the building’s exterior would retain its size and shape. The restaurant would seat 17 inside the building and require 21 parking spaces. The building was built around 1971 as a convenience store, but has been vacant for several years. In 2014, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen denied a permit for a mixed use development over concerns about parking, and in 2015 the board rejected a request to rezone the property.

continued efforts for maintaining the water quality after the GenX contamination last year, and officials ensure that the public is kept informed about the presence of GenX and any other compounds in Cape Fear Public Utility Authority water supply and any impacts they may have on the community. · PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING INCREASED: This year marks the fifth consecutive year of increased public school funding for the county, an approximate amount of $2.3 million. Other enhancements include a Pre-K expansion of three classrooms, and additional public school campus security. · PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM ENHANCEMENTS: Additional funding has been added to such programs as LINC, Inc. Jail Diversion Program, youth intervention and gang prevention and the Fire Services District rate has risen to help fund increased services.

damage near the eye, prompting concerns that the owl would lose vision in one of its eyes. She believed the bird was hit by a car, which is a common problem for owls. She also believes the bird is a young female, based on its size. “Right now, she’s day by day. She may not survive the rehabilitation, which can be very difficult for owls and put a lot of trauma on its systems and organs,” Morgan said. “But she’s on antibiotics and has supportive care. She’s already looking stronger and better than she has in the entire time she’s been here.” The goal is to avoid euthanasia, but fortunately, the owl’s temperament may make it a good candidate for survival. Most raptors will suffer in captivity and there are few sanctuaries that

have room for injured owls. However, if she can make it through rehabilitation, she could become a permanent resident of Skywatch. The sanctuary already has one great horned owl, a male, but to keep two of the birds, Mason said they would need to build a cage suitable for the creatures. To fund the project, Mason said they group would consider a fundraiser to construct the cage, which would have to be designed out of special materials. While the group has builders ready to donate the time, the group would still need to buy the materials. A Wrightsville Beach resident who found and cared for the owl said he was surprised at how docile the bird was. After learning from others about the bird, Wrightsville Beach resident Donald Lee White, Sr. said he went to check

on it, and even tried to clear a path to let the bird run and take off. “It tried to fly but it couldn’t get more than a foot and a half off of the ground,” he said. The bird tried to hide near a fence, but White said he was worried it would get caught by a cat, so he placed his shirt over its eyes and placed it in a box. “I laid the shirt over his body and face and picked it up slowly, holding the wings close to the body. It wasn’t happy for a few seconds, but it calmed right down,” White said. “I knew that if we kept hit in the dark, it wouldn’t be nervous.” If the great horned owl does survive the rehabilitation, White said he would donate $100 to the building of the cage.

AREA BRIEFS Coast Guard helps 2 men to safety after their boat hit an object off North Carolina coast A Coast Guard boat crew came to the assistance of two men whose boat began taking on water after striking an object Wednesday morning, about 13 miles off Carolina Beach. At 9:10 a.m., they contacted Station Wrightsville Beach watchstanders via VHF-FM marine radio channel 16, reporting that they had struck an object off the coast, were taking on water and their bilge pump failed.

A boat crew from the station launched aboard a 45-foot Response Boat—Medium to assist the boaters. Once they arrived on scene, a boat crew member boarded the men’s boat with a dewatering pump to keep the boat from sinking. “Anything can happen, anywhere, at any time when out on the water,” said Fireman Nolan Jackson, a crew member on the Coast Guard boat. “Know your boat, know your safety gear and be prepared to contact the Coast Guard as soon as possible if anything were to happen.” The crews were able to keep up with flooding and make it to

the Wrightsville Beach Wildlife boat ramp under the boat’s own power and it was trailered out of the water. A large gash was visible in the hull. The boaters were wearing life jackets when the Coast Guard crew arrived and no injuries or pollution were reported.

Orton Plantation Announces Beginning of Controlled Burn Season Prescribed fires will take place from March 1-May 1 to improve forest health and restore Longleaf Pine ecosystem

WINNABOW – Orton Plantation will begin its annual controlled burning between March 1 and May 1 on more than 6,000 acres to improve forest health, restore longleaf pine habitat. Trained experts conduct the controlled burns at Orton in close coordination with the North Carolina Forest Service, the North Carolina Department of Air Quality, the Brunswick and New Hanover County fire departments and 911 services. The burn is overseen by Orton Property Manager, Dillon Epp, a state-certified controlled burner, in accordance with an approved plan to ensure the safety of people and property in the area. Although the projected burning window stated is two months long, the actual number of days the controlled burning will take place is around 14. Strict criteria such as optimal weather

determine when a permitted burn can take place. Area residents may see or smell smoke, including residents of Carolina Beach, Wrightsville Beach, and Wilmington, as well as travelers on Highway 133. Area residents should contact the North Carolina Forest Service with concerns (919-857-4801). Prescribed fire not only benefits the longleaf pine ecosystem by controlling invasive species and encouraging new plant growth, but also mitigates the possibility of wildfire by reducing dangerous fuel loads that accumulate over the course of the year

New Hanover County CERT Training to start March 15 Learn what to do in a disaster and how to help your family and neighbors New Hanover County residents are encouraged to register for the upcoming Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training, which begins Thursday, March 15. CERT training is designed to provide basic training in disaster preparedness, increasing the ability of citizens to assist their family and neighbors in an emergency situation. CERT Training is free for residents, and is a partnership between New Hanover County Emergency Management and Cape Fear Community College. Courses include disaster preparedness, fire safety, medical operations, light search and rescue, CERT organization, disaster psychology, and emergency skills. “The more people we have in our community

who are self-sufficient, the less demand on our first responders,” said Emergency Management Director Steven Still. “The CERT Training provides handson practice and realistic exercises that prepare residents for an emergency, so they can also assist their friends and family.” The county’s CERT Training will last eight weeks with classes on Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m., along with a disaster simulation exercise on Saturday, April 28. All classes will be conducted at the New Hanover County Emergency Operations Center, located at 220 Government Center Drive in Wilmington. Citizens can register by calling the county’s Emergency Management staff at 910-798-6900.

Wrightsville Beach to host walk raising awareness of eating disorders One of Over 70 Walks Across the Country, the Event Will Raise Funds to Support Those Affected by the Deadliest Mental Illness The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) and its national walk sponsor, Aerie, have teamed up to hold the 1st annual Wilmington, NC NEDA Walk on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at Wrightsville Beach Park. Themed NEDA Walk, Save a Life, N E D A Wa l k s spread awareness about the seriousness of eating disorders and build supportive, local communities of hope and recovery. In the United States alone, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and, binge eating disorder. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, but money raised from the walk will help fund NEDA’s lifesaving programs designed to support individuals and families affected by eating disorders. Said Claire Mysko, CEO of NEDA, “No one should have to face an eating disorder alone. That’s

the ultimate goal of NEDA Walks – to build community and make sure that everyone has access to the support they deserve. The money we raise at these walks translates to a lifeline for those with nowhere else to turn, funding the National Eating Disorders Helpline, crisis intervention services and much more. Together, we can send the message that full recovery is possible and come one step closer to a world without eating disorders. Each year, nearly 20,000 participants in over 70 walks in cities across the country gather to bring communities together in the fight against eating disorders.

I thought we played great in the wind and got off to a great start, which gave us some confidence. I thought the golf course played a lot tougher than Sunday due to the change

in wind direction. We were focused more today because we had to due to the tougher scoring chances. I am really proud of the team. Lyberty played fantastic and she handled the conditions very well. She had a lot of birdie chances despite the tough weather. I am really proud of how well she bounced back from the UCF Challenge and how she put three great rounds together.

Lady Sea Devils Host Youth Basketball Clinic The Cape Fear women’s basketball team spent time away from the court on Monday night to h o s t a Yo u t h Basketball Camp at Wilmington’s MLK Center off 8th Street. The free event to the community, hosted by the lady Sea Devils, featured 40 children ages 7-12 years old. The campers rotated through seven stations, each featuring two Sea Devils players. Campers practiced various skills including ball handling, passing, shooting, lay-ups, rebounding, agility, and defense. Games such as Knock Out, Dribble Knock Out, and Relay Races were incorporated into the

camp throughout the evening as well. “It was great for our ladies to pay it forward to the community, by helping run the youth basketball camp,” said Sea Devils head coach Lori Drake. “I couldn’t be more proud of the number of participants that showed up to our camp. Giving back to the community is what it’s all about for our student athletes and coaching staff.” Along with teaching ball skills, Cape Fear emphasized the importance of teamwork by showing the campers how to work together at each station. The team also emphasized good sportsmanship by cheering on fellow campers and supplying a healthy dose of high fives.
