Story of recovered ring, generous acts gets national coverage By Terry Lane Staff Writer

A Wrightsville Beach bar owner was featured on a national news broadcast last weekend after the story of his efforts to help a teen thief was covered across the region. Jimmy’s at Red Dogs owner Jimmy Gilleece was featured on the Friday, April 6, CBS Evening News in a segment called “On the Road with Steve Hartman.” The segment told the story, reported in the March 29 Lumina News, of how Gilleece found the wallet that contained a ring by an out-of-town patron that was taken by a 17-year-old

homeless teen wandering through town named Rivers Prather. Prather came forward about taking the wallet, which was left by the woman on a bench outside of the bar, and told Gilleece that he had thrown the wallet into Banks Channel. He told Gilleece he only took the cash to use for food, leaving the ring in the wallet. The CBS piece first focused on how Gilleece hired divers to find the wallet, and recover the ring for the woman. But the segment also focused on how Gilleece then took the teen into his home while helping find a n See GILLEECE Page 2

Former WB surfer wins collegiate surfing competition By Mel Beasley Intern

Former Wrightsville Beach surfer, 18-year-old Kat Neff, won the shortboard surfing competition in the women’s division this past weekend at the East Coast Collegiate Surfing Championship for the University of North Florida. “I honestly focus more on longboard surfing so it’s funny that I won the shortboard competition,” Neff said. Born and raised in Wilmington, Neff grew accustomed to the smaller, choppier water conditions in Wrightsville Beach. It was an adjustment to surf the Florida waters, which feel very different compared to the North Carolina coast. “I think the water is weaker off the Florida coast because it’s farther away from the Gulf stream,” Neff said. “The waives travel at a longer distance, and they are very slow at rolling over which can be challenging.” Neff prepared for the competition by doing “mock heats,” a type of n See NEFF Page 2

Masonboro Island oyster farmers seeking solution after leases ended By Lena Moriarty Intern

CBS reporter Steve Hartman interviews Jimmy Gilleece at Jimmy’s at Red Dogs.

Efforts to bring oyster farming to the Masonboro Island reserve will come to an end in 2021 unless the farmers are able to overturn a ruling by state regulators that blocks the five-year leases from being renewed. Oyster farmers Tim Holbrook and Al Smeilus were granted leases for the reserve in 2015 and 2016 by the state’s N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries, however, last November, another state agency asserted jurisdiction and objected to renewing the five-year leases. Smeilus and Holbrook are now searching for a way to reverse

the decision, while defending the benefits of oyster farming in the Masonboro Island reserve. “What you’re doing is going out in an area with nothing on it, and turning it into something that is productive and good and is beneficial to the reserve,” Smeilus says of his primarily cageless oysters. Though approved by the Division of Marine Fisheries in September 2015, another state agency in November said that the 5-year-leases for two oyster farms in the Masonboro Island reserve should not have been granted approval, saying the n See OYSTERS Page 2

Local band seeks spotlight with trip to national bluegrass festival By Terry Lane Staff Writer

With a chance at stardom in sight, a local bluegrass band is starting a fundraising campaign to support a trip to Colorado for a renowned festival appearance that will put them in the national spotlight. Formed late last year by veteran violin player Will Maxwell, the band Into the Fog has been touring around Wilmington and North Carolina this winter. But having won an opportunity to perform at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in June, the band members are seeing a chance to get into the national spotlight. “We’re trying to make this a long term project for all of us,” Maxwell said. “These are some talented guys, each who can bring something amazing to the table. Committing to a project of this sort is what could send us off on our musical careers.” To get there, the band is looking to start a Kickstarter online fundraising campaign, something Maxwell did with a former band, the Mid Atlantic, which raised $13,000. Maxwell said the band is hoping n See FOG Page 2

leases won’t be renewed once they expire. While governed by the state’s Department of Environmental Quality Coastal Resource Commission, the island’s reserve is also designated as a State Nature Preserve, putting it under regulations established by the Dept. of Natural and Cultural Resources’ Natural Heritage Program (NHP). The NHP in November said that the two oyster leases issues for the reserve weren’t in compliance and therefore, shouldn’t be renewed. The leases were found to violate North Carolina’s Nature Preserves Act which is enforced by NHP. Because there is no way to appeal the decision of the NHP, Smeilus said he is going to lose thousands of dollars in personal investments in his business. Advocates for Masonboro Island said the state should not end the leases for the oyster farms that have been operating for the past three years in the island’s reserve. The decision sparked confusion and concern among some members of the community, including individuals from Masonboro. org, an organization that advocates for public access to the island, who said that the decision raised even more questions about transparency, with some calling it a “violation of public trust.” The violation was brought to the public’s attention for the first time at the Masonboro Local Advisory Committee after the leases had been implemented and the harvesting had begun. At the meeting, some raised concerns about the negative effects of oyster farming, said Richard Johnson of Masonboro.org. “We’re involved because we think the process he went through was a fair and open process, but what happened next was not. At the end of the day, there has to be some level of public trust,” Johnson claimed. “We’ve been

protecting public interest for 10 years now.” At the time of application, Coastal Reserve officials said they worried that these leases might lead to a swarm of other leases, to which there was no confirmed policy in place. In November 2015, a study of the oyster farms was authorized to develop a policy regulating future oyster farming. The goal of the study is to research the importance of various habitat types and web structures, including oysters, and their effects on the coastal community. As advocates push back on the decision, they are hoping the study will show a historical tie between Masonboro Island and shellfish farming that could be used to justify reversing the decision. “We have to look at new ways of being able to manage the resources in a sustainable fashion,” says Smeilus, “I’ve noticed in harvesting oysters they’re getting fewer and fewer, even in the reserve, the resources are dwindling away.” Johnson said he believes that this situation is a violation of the public’s trust and claims that the NHP had never been involved with coastal issues until recently. “North Carolina is about 20 years behind on oysters,” Johnson said of the benefits of oyster farming. He compared North Carolina oyster laws to those of Chesapeake Bay, where individuals are paid to farm oysters because of the positive contributions they have on the environment. In the meantime, Smeilus is working with the state and the Marine Science Center, where he had opened up his lease to a three year study and funded by NOAA to see the impact planting oysters has on the reserve. “I wanted to bring oysters in to contribute to the water quality and the water clarity in the area,” says Smeilus of his oyster farm.

place for him to live. “I’ve been shocked at how it escalated,” Gilleece said of the story’s spread. “I think people are looking for good news.” Following on CBS’s lead, several outlets have picked up on the story, including some of Gilleece’s favorites, including the nationally syndicated radio show John Boy & Billy, and The Chive, a humor website. The story has generated a lot of attention, said Gilleece, noting he has hundreds of unread emails. But the added attention has also generated donations, which have been set up in an escrow checking account. Had the ring not been found, Prather could have faced felony larceny charges. Instead, being that the theft was a first offense, he was put in a county misdemeanor diversion program.Alongside some day work at Jimmy’s at Red Dogs, the teen is also working for a local charter boat company. Gilleece said the first priority for Prather was to find a place for the teen to live.

April 7 and 8, and surfers were judged on a scale of 0 to 10 by wave size and length as well as style maneuvers. Competitors faced surfers from at least six other colleges or universities. “I used a Roberts black punt model board because I didn’t want to switch off something I was comfortable with,” Neff said. “However, I am looking at other boards that might be better suited

for the Florida water conditions going forward.” A freshmen student at UNF, Neff is majoring in international business and minoring in Spanish. She plans to come back to Wilmington to work for a month this summer but will study abroad in Spain for the remainder of the summer season.

New Hanover County publishes first draft phase of Unified Development Ordinance The New Hanover County Planning and Land Use Department has published the first draft phase of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), and it can be viewed on the UDO project website. This draft document, developed by Planning staff and a consultant team, was provided to the New Hanover County Planning Board at its meeting on April 5. The board, along with the public, will have the opportunity to review the draft and provide feedback during the entire UDO process. The UDO is being completed in three draft phases that will take place over the next year. The draft that is now available for review is the first phase, focusing on zoning districts, permitted uses, and definitions; the second phase will focus on site development regulations and general standards like parking, signs, landscaping, and setbacks; and the third phase will focus on administrative provisions and procedures. “The county’s existing zoning codes are outdated

and don’t allow us to accomplish the development patterns that are outlined in the county’s Comprehensive Plan,” said Planning Director Wayne Clark. “It’s important that we have modern regulatory tools, zoning districts, and building standards that are easy to understand and will help guide sustainable development and growth. The UDO process will help us accomplish that.” Public input on the initial draft is welcome and can be made on the UDO website and at a public workshop being held on Tuesday, May 1, 3-4:30 p.m. This workshop, held by the Planning Board, will take place in New Hanover County Government Center’s training room B, located at 230 Government Center Drive in Wilmington. Additional public workshops will take place during the UDO process, and the public will be notified as they are scheduled. Sign up for UDO updates here.

TSA raising aviation screening and security measures at Wilmington International To ensure the security of airline passengers and the nation’s airports, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) will begin implementing new, stronger screening procedures for carry-on items at Wilmington International Airport (ILM) on April 14th. The new procedures, which were announced last year, require travelers to place all electronics larger than a cell phone in bins for X-ray screening in standard lanes. TSA recommends that all travelers arrive at the airport up to two hours in advance of their flight departure time to ensure they have enough time to check in with their airline and go through security. TSA officers will begin to ask travelers to remove electronics larger than a cell phone from their carry-on bags and place them in a

bin with nothing on top or below, similarly to how laptops have been screened for years. This simple step helps TSA officers obtain a clearer X-ray image. It is possible that passengers may experience more bag checks, however, through extensive testing, TSA identified ways to improve screening procedures with quicker and more targeted measures to clear the bags. In standard screening lanes, TSA officers will be stationed in front of the checkpoint X-ray machines to guide passengers through the screening process and recommend how best to arrange their carry-on items for X-ray screening. Travelers are encouraged to organize their carry-on bags and keep them uncluttered to ease the screening process and keep the lines moving. There are

no changes to what travelers can bring through the checkpoint; food and liquid items that comply with the 3-1-1 liquids rule, electronics, and books continue to be allowed in carry-on bags. The new security measures do not apply to passengers enrolled in TSA Precheck who are using TSA Precheck lanes. TSA also marked another milestone earlier this month with TSA Precheck now available at more than 200 airports nationwide. Travelers enrolled in TSA Precheck do not need to remove shoes, 3-1-1 liquids, laptops, electronics, light outerwear, or belts. The program allows TSA to focus resources on passengers who may pose a high risk to security while providing expedited screening to those travelers who have been identified as low-risk, trusted travelers.

New book about North Carolina Coastal Federation’s history is available online “Saving Great Places” covers five key environmental victories for the federation and coastal residents A new book about the North Carolina Coastal Federation’s work to help organize local efforts to protect important places on the North Carolina coast has recently been published and is available on the federation’s website. Glenn Blackburn, professor emeritus of history at University of Virginia’s College at Wise, wrote “Saving Great Places” based on interviews he has conducted with federation staff, board members and supporters. The complete interviews are on file at the UNC-Wilmington Randall Library as part of a special collection of federation papers. “What got me started on this project was my admiration for a number of people — Todd Miller, Willy and Feather Phillips and Ann Braddy in the peat mine fight; Lena Ritter in the Stump Sound fight; Frank Nesmith and Bill Ducker in the Bird Island campaign; and many others — who did something really important for the North Carolina coast and need to be remembered,” Blackburn said. “Saving Great Places” focuses specifically on five projects the

federation and coastal residents took on to protect the North Carolina coast. The first chapter focuses on the organization’s first big environmental victory — stopping a proposed peat mining operation that would have destroyed wetlands and affected fisheries in the AlbemarlePamlico peninsula. Todd Miller, executive director and founder of the federation, helped organize successful local opposition

to that proposed operation from 1982-84. The book also covers the federation’s work to protect Permuda Island in Stump Sound in Onslow County in the 1980s and Bird Island in Brunswick County in

the 1990s and early 2000s. In both cases, the federation helped provide a voice for local opposition to proposed developments on the islands. Both of these places are now protected in perpetuity. The book’s fourth chapter explores how the federation from 2003-07 worked to get the North Carolina General Assembly to approve new solid waste legislation, thereby stopping the development of a landfill proposed for Navassa, a predominately black community near Wilmington. Its final chapter is devoted to the federation’s successful fight against Titan America LLC, a Greek-owned company that wanted to build a coal-fired cement plant in Castle Hayne in New Hanover County. The federation helped organize community efforts from 2008 to 2016 to prevent the plant from being constructed. “We are honored that Glenn chose to write a book about the federation,” Miller said. “I hope readers will see that each effort to protect great places along the coast had in common a dedicated and determined group of people who worked the front lines to make sure that these critical areas were not developed or destroyed.” The book is available online at nccoast.org/savinggreatplaces.
