Land use meeting talks offbeach parking system

WB actor, producer to premiere first feature film By Terry Lane Staff Writer

By Terry Lane Staff Writer

With traffic, parking and infrastructure stability topping some of the concerns for Wrightsville Beach residents, several of the nearly four dozen town residents proposed creating a new system for beach parking during a public input meeting Thursday on a comprehensive future land use plan for the town. After a breakout session where participants gathered in separate groups around tables of maps of Wrightsville Beach, three of the four groups proposed building a parking garage off the island that would ferry visitors to the beach. The concept is one that Blockade Runner Beach Resort owner Mary Baggett, a participant in n See CAMA Page 2

The streets of Wrightsville Beach will be packed with runners this Saturday when the 8th Annual Quintiles Wrightsville Beach Marathon. One of those competitors, who is well familiar with these streets, will be wearing the distinctive bid of No. 100. “That’s where I started running and fell in love with the sport,” said Charlotte Corriher, a former Wrightsville Beach resident who’s returning to compete in her 100th marathon.

By Hannah Leyva As aerial images of the Blockade Runner Resort and Wrightsville Beach’s water tower lit up the screen, the audience clapped and cheered enthusiastically. The group of several dozen people, from Girl Scouts to University of North Carolina Wilmington students to local business owners, were gathered at the Blockade Runner’s ballroom Sunday afternoon for a special screening of “Straws,” a documentary by North Carolina director and producer Linda Booker about the movement to eliminate the use of plastic straws in an effort to reduce the amount of plastic entering the world’s oceans and harming wildlife. According to the film, which included clips of a video of a straw being pulled out of the nose of a sea turtle in Costa Rica, more than half of the world’s turtle population has eaten plastic at some point in their lifetimes, and other fish, including popular human food such as tuna and salmon, also often consume plastic that ends up in the ocean. That has prompted organizations, such as the

Many in Wrightsville Beach will recognize actor Reid Doyle from his commercials and television appearances, but now the familiar face will take the big screen, as the local producer is set to release his first featurelength film this week. After nearly two years of work, The Terrible Two will premiere at Thalian Hall on Thursday, March 23. Though he’s shot videos and commercials, and acted in other productions, it’s the first feature length film for Doyle, who collaborated with partner and director Billy Lewis to make the horror film for local production company Orange St Films. “It went from a stack of papers with words on it to a completed product,” said Doyle. “It was more fun for me than other projects because I got to be one of the top dogs and have my say-so. But that came with a lot of the blood, sweat and tears that we all put into it.” With the low-budget production, Doyle said he is working to

Police warn on officer pay issues By Terry Lane Staff Writer

The Wrightsville Beach Police Department will face expanded pressure to retain officers as surrounding police jurisdictions raise their pay rates further ahead of the town’s police force, chief Dan House said during the first workshop on the town’s budget. House said the force could see a similar depletion of officers that it suffered in the summer off 2016, when 10 officers left over the course of several months,

many of them to new jobs in law enforcement. While this has been a recurring issue for police, House said, both the North Carolina Highway Patrol and the Wilmington Police Department will soon integrate “step progression” pay, which promises younger officers a higher, quicker pay raise. “This will be a game changer,” House said. House made the comments during the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen’s budget workshop on Thursday, March

21, where the department heads bring budget items before the board. With the exception of the Wilmington airport police, Wrightsville Beach police have the lowest starting pay off any in the county, House said. Where Wrightsville Beach officers start at $33,100, Wilmington pays officers $36,000 and New Hanover County and Kure Beach offers closer to $38,000 for officers to start. Board members made no comment on police pay during n See BUDGET Page 2

the meeting, has proposed before. But two other breakout groups also suggested the idea during the Thursday evening meeting at the Wrightsville Beach Holiday Inn, where residents were invited to come discuss ideas related to the town’s current efforts to update it CAMA Land Use Plan. Conceptually, the town would construct a multi-level parking garage across the Trask Drawbridge, then run shuttles that would take visitors to the beach. This would come with an elimination of much of the town’s beachside parking, making the shuttle system the only way those not staying in a hotel or renting a house or condo could access the beach. During the meeting, Baggett pointed out that Waynick

Wilmington-based non-profit Plastic Ocean Project, to not only raise awareness about the issue but to also take action. They’ve partnered with the Cape Fear Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation and Wrightsville Beach Keep It Clean to create the Ocean Friendly Establishments initiative, which recognizes local businesses that have taken steps toward reducing their consumption of single-use plastic products. “Our goal is really to reduce the waste load, to get people to use and reuse recyclable products,” said Bonnie Monteleone, Plastic

Boulevard is also the last few miles of U.S. 74, a state highway, where parking shouldn’t be allowed. The parking spots could be replaced with a pedestrian-friendly boardwalk, she said. Some said the idea would bring in even more visitors and traffic, but Baggett said the parking plan would only work if the amount of beach parking was reduced in turn. Though he didn’t speak at the meeting, Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair said he doubted that such a plan would produce the approximate $3 million in parking revenue that makes up a significant portion of the budget. “We’d have to get the remaining money in increased property taxes for our residents. I don’t think that would go over well at all,” Blair told Lumina News after the meeting. “And what if there’s a storm? Is everyone going to try to crowd into Tower

7?” The off-site parking plan was only one idea proposed, but it got most of the attention during the discussion of the breakout

Ocean Project’s executive director and a researcher in UNCW’s chemistry department. One of the local establishments leading the way in this movement is the Blockade Runner, which was featured in the documentary due to its decision to switch from plastic to paper straws. “We did a lot of tests to find a paper straw that would hold up to our needs,” said Feletia Lee, the resort’s environmental coordinator. “It took us about three to four months to find the right one.” Lee said the switch from the old plastic to the new paper straws (which can last up to three hours in a water glass) was made in March 2016. Though paper is more

expensive than plastic, the resort has also implemented a “straws by request only” policy, leading to 20 percent reduction in overall food services operations costs, according to Lee. “That includes the costs of product, the cost of waste disposal, and everything that goes with it,” said Lee. “Because it’s by request only, we’re not going through as many straws, so I don’t have to order as much product.” For Chapel Hill-based director Booker, whose production company By The Brook has also made other environmental

documentaries, finding a local business as influential as the Blockade Runner was a wonderful discovery “To me, an entire resort taking action [against plastic straws] is impressive,” said Booker, who traveled with her Carolina Beachbased cinematographer Blaire Johnson to different parts of the country and the world to make the film. “And what makes it even better is it’s right here in our backyard. We wanted to tie our home state into the film, and this was an amazing way to make it happen.” Sunday’s screening at the

Blockade Runner, which Booker called a “sneak preview,” was only the second time the film has been shown in public, according to the filmmaker. A tour of film festivals will be next, starting with the Sonoma International Film Festival at the end of the month, but Booker said the goal is to eventually make it available to groups and community organizations to show on their own. “The idea is to get it out there for people to organize their own local screenings and hopefully start their own [anti-plastic straw] campaigns like the ones that are popping up

on Salisbury Street. The state’s Coastal Area Management Act, which applies to Wrightsville Beach, requires the town base its ordinances from a comprehensive land use plan. Dale Holland, principal of Holland Consulting Planners, the firm hired by the town to manage the plan’s rewrite process, said the breakout session was designed to encourage more participation from those that attended. Meeting organizers broke up the 47 people who had signed in to gather around four tables, using colored markers to delineate ideas about zoning districts. Holland said by breaking into groups, and having each group designate a “spokesperson” to relay the ideas, it can encourage more participation, especially from people who wouldn’t normally speak publicly at a meeting.

here and all over the world,” said Booker. In Wrightsville Beach, where two of the biggest dining establishments have already been recognized for their plastic-reduction efforts, as the Oceanic is also on the list of Ocean Friendly Establishments, Lee said the Blockade Runner will continue with what’s been a successful switch so far. “We’ll keep moving forward and continue to recycle all our plastics as much as we can,” said Lee. “We’re always looking for more ways to reduce our waste.”

marathons for two thousand six hundred and twenty miles, all while dressed in costumes that represent the state or area she is competing in. “I’ve carried swords, surfboards, Easter baskets, and a box of chocolates,” she says. Disney World inspired a Winnie the Pooh ensemble, a Southern Belle in Charleston, a jockey in Kentucky, and possibly the least aerodynamic of all, a roulette wheel in Atlantic City. But Corriher said she won’t reveal the costume for her 100th marathon until race day. While the costumes have garnered Corriher heaps of attention on websites, local newspapers, and even in Runner’s World

magazine, they also help her continue onward during races. She calls the costumes “a good distraction” during races. “The crowd cheers a little bit more for me. That extra distraction gives me additional energy during the race.” Corriher said she discovered her passion for running when she started jogging around the island of Wrightsville Beach, which for her was a convenient form of exercise that she could do while on the road for work. In January 2006, she signed up with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program and ran her first marathon. “Once I joined Team in Training, it was about the

friendships I had made that got me up every Saturday morning for a long run,” she said. Corriher’s first marathon was the starting line for a long term goal to run a marathon in each state of the USA. She has run marathons in 45 states and Washington D.C., and plans to cross off North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, and Kansas by 2018. “Once I started meeting runners from all over the country who were part of the Marathon Maniacs and 50 States Marathon clubs, I couldn’t stop. Every few weekends I was seeing all parts of the country and meeting new friends.”

n BUDGET

House said. During the meeting, Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair said the town had to be careful with budgeting, as changes in sale tax collection across the state could impact the town’s revenue. While the state’s General Assembly hasn’t acted on new sales tax legislation, the legislature is expected to try again to change the distribution formula, potentially taking back town funds. Another budget request came from Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue, which asked for funds for a response boat. Ocean Rescue director David Baker said that the U.S. Coast Guard may reduce its response for incidents in waters

under the town’s jurisdiction. The vessel could potentially be shared with the Wrightsville Beach Fire Department. Another spending request came from the Parks and Recreation department, which is requesting funding for a larger Christmas Tree for the holiday season. The current tree stands 22 feet high, while extensions to the tree would take it to 34 feet. Director Katie Ryan said the donated stage next to the tree is so big that it almost overshadows it. She said the tree additions would cost about $15,000, including lights. Email terrylane@luminanews. com.

the workshop, as the issue of the competitiveness of town employee compensation has been raised in prior budget workshops. House said the pay shortfall is creating more costs in the long run, especially in the training costs needed to replace an officer, which can cost a total of $26,000, House said. While the police department was able to hire new officers following the 2016 staffing shortfall, House said already two of them have left. One realized he wasn’t cut out to be a police officer and joined the Air Force, but another left for Carolina Beach and the pay raise the move promised him,

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y T e rry L a n e

IWant a crash course in Wrightsville Beach civics? While not exactly a class, the ongoing CAMA Land Use Plan rewrite process is providing a detailed look into the way the town operates, from zoning law to traffic projections and even to the history of the town. So what is this process and why is it important? Because it’s the town’s guide for development for the next decade or more. Items included in the plan could have far reaching effects for the town. Still, despite efforts from the town to promote the meetings, attendance has been somewhat underwhelming. Of the town’s estimated 2,500 residents, only 47 showed up to the last Thursday’s public input meeting on the plan. So far, only 198 respondents have sent in a survey conducted by the town. The firm hired to guide the plan through the process says more response is needed before the steering committee can complete its work drafting the plan. It’s understandable that there isn’t more participation. Many residents may not have much of an idea of how this plan could affect them. Unlike a zoning change, where the town notifies those property owners directly affected, this plan is more far reaching and broad. Seemingly innocuous changes here could have a lasting impact down the line. So what is the CAMA Land Use Plan? Since New Hanover County is one of the 20 states governed by the state’s Coastal Area Management Act, it must adopt a plan that meets the guidelines of the Coastal Resources Commission. While the CRC provides a standard land use plan that town’s can adopt, most have specific issues, and will adopt their own. The CAMA Land Use Plan is in itself not a legal document, in that nothing written into is an ordinance. However, any town ordinance passed has to be compliant with the plan. Wrightsville Beach last updated its plan in 2005, and with grant money to help fund the hiring of outside consultants to help guide the process, the town elected to form a select committee this year to oversee the rewriting. Mayor Pro Tem Darryl Mills chairs that select committee, which includes participation by several local residents and business leaders. For the past three months, the rewrites to the plan have been coming in. At each month’s meeting of the steering committee, new sections of the plan are released, and last month’s sections are edited by the steering committee. It’s not entirely surprising, probably nothing in the plan could be called a secret, but the report is providing specific details into the size of Wrightsville Beach, the plans used to guide its development and the infrastructure available to support it. For instance, last month’s additions to the

community profile section of the plan included detailed information about the town’s peak and average summertime population. The planners from the firm Holland Consulting Planners found that the peak population of Wrightsville Beach in the summer is 41,725, the estimated number of visitors on Memorial Day, Independence Day or Labor Day. In fact, at an estimated 2,169, there’s almost as many people staying in hotels in Wrightsville Beach on peak summer day as live here in the winter. Unlike the surrounding city and county, the population of Wrightsville Beach is actually going down, as the 2010 Census showed a nearly 500 resident decline from 1990. Part of this process was covered in today’s Lumina News front page article on off-island parking. But so far, there’s been several issues raised during the discussions, and they don’t all lend themselves simply a news story here or there. That’s why I wanted to take the time here and describe some of the issues at play, while also providing more information on the process and how Wrightsville Beach residents can get involved. The off-island parking concept wasn’t something that planners came up with. It’s an idea some residents said they would like to see. The story posted on the Lumina News Facebook page showed some liking the idea, with others hating it. And the CAMA Land Use Plan is precisely the type of document to make the kind of fundamental change described by those residents, though that kind of adjustment won’t come easy. One issue that will likely be addressed is the town’s 40-foot building height limit, which many residents support to prevent overbuilding. But the height limit is having an effect, as more properties are building to the limit to take advantage of every inch of building space. A prime example is the house being built at the base off the Causeway Bridge, which meets the letter of the code, but still has some readers uncomfortable with the blocky, square style that departs from the beach cottage style so common on the beach. The plan will likely also include efforts to encourage mixed use development, which may be crucial if the hole next to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier is ever going to be redeveloped. These are just a few of the issues you’ll likely see come up before it’s complete. And it’s not too late for citizens to take a closer look. Most information about the draft plan can be found on the website: planwrightsvillebeach.com. And in addition to several more meetings of the steering committee, the plan will also go before a public hearing in early summer, giving residents the chance to speak on it. The CAMA Land Use Plan is a great opportunity for citizens to have their say on the future of the Wrightsville Beach. Those that pass up this opportunity may find that ideas they don’t like for the town’s future are now set in stone.

The CAMA Land Use Plan is a great opportunity for citizens to have their say on the future of Wrightsville Beach before it is set in stone.

Hook, Line & Sinker March winding down but fishing picking up By Skylar Walters

Weather for the month of March has started to stabilize and while some overnight freezing temperatures are not out of the question, the return of frigid and snowy weather anytime soon seems very doubtful. Water temperatures have remained in the 50s throughout the wintery onslaught and are now reading in the mid to upper 50s, which could prove to be a good range to have as we converge towards the month of April. Being prepared will be very important for area anglers, as there may be little to no warning when a certain species of fish decides to show up a week or two early, sparking fishermen to scramble to find whatever tackle they can after a few months stored away in the garage. So now is the time to organize that tackle box or tackle bag, replenish what you need and replace that line on your fishing reels. If you have time or the knowhow, get the reels greased and cleaned before you’re caught off guard. You’ll be happy you did. Inshore, the fishing has remained pretty decent and has been keeping those anglers not wanting to go into hibernation fairly busy. Red drum have been found in good numbers around the area docks and have been caught on both live and artificial baits. Cut bait and shrimp have also resulted in a lot of catches but have also been enticing the numerous black drum that have been hanging around all season. Speckled trout have been

showing up in a lot of reports from anglers fishing the creeks and inlets as the water temperatures continued to warm. Bluefish made a brief appearance a couple of weeks ago but have since subsided, which was expected considering the time of year. Bluefish should make a quick return in the coming weeks, if not sooner. Offshore, the weather and sea conditions have been hampering the boaters trying to get to the blue water, however late last week there was a small window of opportunity and numerous crews took advantage. There were a lot of reports of wahoo, along with a plethora of blackfin tuna and even some yellowfin tuna in the mix. Tactics varied among those who were successful so in order to gain some secrets, the best course of action is reading up on some local fishing blogs and message boards and then figure out what you and your crew are capable of doing. As always, everyone has their own opinions and variations and only you can figure out what’s going to work for your boat and tackle. As the weather warms, expect the fishing to continue to improve. As mentioned earlier, don’t procrastinate in getting your tackle and equipment in good enough shape, so that you won’t have to worry about a malfunction during that first or second fishing outing of the season.

Maryland team pushes competitors at Wrightsville Beach Biathlon By Taylor Doss Intern

With steady winds and an overcast sky, the weather challenged the paddleboarders from across the southeast assembled on Saturday with plans of having their names added to the Wrightsville Beach Biathlon trophy. It was Jeremy Whitted, from Charleston, S.C., who secured his fourth consecutive victory in the solo men’s division of the race that pairs a 4.5-mile paddleboard race with a 4-mile beach run. The win didn’t come easy for Whitted, who faced a challenge from racers from Capitol SUP, a stand-up paddle board team from Annapolis, Md. Five members of Capitol SUP made the 8-hour drive from Annapolis to the Blockade Runner Beach Resort to attend the biathlon for the first time. Capital SUP’s Fielding Pagel was in close pursuit, breaking

into sprint to close the gap with Whitted on the final stretch of the beach run, but the veteran champion was able to keep pace to earn a comfortable win. Whitted said the windy, chilly conditions made the race a challenge. “Sometimes it sucks, the cold,

“The weather wasn’t any worse than back home, but I did have to work pretty hard to fight the wind.”

but you know you are gonna get warmed up racing, and you get over it pretty quick,” he said. In the women’s solo division Laura Drossner, another Capitol SUP member, took first place. The event was her first

paddleboard race and a success. Drossner is an English teacher and spends her free time running, swimming, biking, and now paddle boarding competitively. “I live on the water and love the SUP community,” she said. Jack Ballard was the youngest member of Capitol SUP competing battling through the wind on the paddleboard leg before running the beach leg barefoot, earning some blisters and cuts to take back to Maryland. “The weather wasn’t any worse than back home, but I did have to work pretty hard to fight the wind,” Ballard said. Capitol SUP plans to be represented in Wrightsville Beach for the Carolina Cup in April, as Pagel said the team is looking to attend several local paddleboard events. “The race is just another excuse to come to Wrightsville,” Pagel said. “The 6 or 8-hour ride isn’t much for the experience we get here.”

keep the local film industry alive while also getting a deeper journey into the business-side of filmmaking. After the Wilmington debut on Thursday, Doyle and Lewis will continue the process of trying to sell the film to domestic and international markets, where it could be seen on DVD, videoon-demand or even some theaters. “I’m used to being out front, but the business aspects and the selling of it, is very new to me,” said Doyle, a former University of North Carolina Wilmington exercise science student who has made Wrightsville Beach his home for the past eight years. Doyle, who plays male lead Albert Poe in The Terrible Two, describes it as a paranormal horror thriller, the type of movie that creates its chills from the suspense of the moment, rather than the bloody scenes of a slasher film. The film occurs during a three-day span around the one year anniversary of the children’s death. Doyle’s co-star Cari Moskow, Poe’s wife Rose, has become possessed and believes she’s hearing messages from her departed

children. Doyle is exacerbated with what looks like a descent into madness. He said his favorite moment in the film was a line from that scene: “These are not our babies, Rose, get that through your head!” Doyle’s Albert exclaims in the trailer. Doyle said that the Thalian Hall theater is the perfect venue for the horror thriller, especially since the 150-year-old building is rumored to be haunted. The Terrible Two will play Thursday, March 23 during a 9 p.m. screening that is open to the general public. Doyle landed several experienced actors for the production, as both Moskow and co-star Devin McGee each had credits on One Tree Hill. Another co-star, Donny Boaz, was a cast member on the History Channel’s “Six,” where Doyle was also cast in a role. Most of the movie is shot at Lewis’ Pine Valley house, with a few shots staged at Greenfield Lake Park, during December 2015, with a few days of re-shoots in May 2016. According to Doyle, while the house was listed, Lewis toured it and saw its potential as a set for a horror movie.

“When he bought the house with his beautiful wife, he said one of the stipulations has to be that we shoot a horror movie there,” Doyle said. The December shoot also served as a homecoming for local film crews that worked on the production. All of them were paid below what they could earn for productions in Atlanta and New Orleans, but they all wanted the chance to work on the unique project, as well as allow them to stay in the Wilmington area over the holidays. “Nobody wanted to have to leave, this shoot gave them just enough money to make it worth it to stay here,” Doyle said. He said the filming was shot over nine-and-a-half days in December 2015 and like most shoots, Doyle said it had its bumps. “We had to recast the little girls two days into the movie,” he said, noting that adding a character required another two-and-a-half days of re-shooting. “This whole thing taught me nothing but patience.” Doyle’s most recent screen credits include the History Channel show “Six”, filmed here in Wilmington, where he plays

a member of Team Echo, the backups to the Navy SEAL team depicted in the show. Doyle can be seen on screen giving hand signals, moving into position and getting ready for combat, skills he began to learn through military training provided by the studio. After the film premier, Doyle and Lewis will get to the work of selling The Terrible Two. The duo has a sales representative, who has already teased the film in the European market. Though there’s hope of some theatrical releases in big cities, most of the domestic sales are expected to be through video ondemand services and DVD sales. Doyle said his goal for the film is to be profitable, and while in the process, return strength to the Wilmington film industry. “That’s why we fight for the incentives,” Doyle said of efforts to preserve state funding to attract film productions. “More opportunity here to get more roles. We have the resources here. Geographically, it provides great visuals. Awesome to shoot, awesome crew to work with.” Email terrylane@luminanews.com
