New winners, familiar faces highlight Carolina Cup Staff Report Choppy seas and high winds did not faze paddleboard elites Sonni Hönscheid of Germany or Michael Booth of Australia, crowned champions of the punishing 13-mile Graveyard Race at the Quiksilver Waterman Carolina Cup, held April 18-22, in Wrightsville Beach. “I had a good start, which is rare for me, and was third around the first buoy. I am super happy with that,” said Hönscheid, the fifth-ranked women’s paddler in the world. “I tried to gain distance in the downwind before the first inlet. Fiona was in front of me, but I knew I could catch her in the flatwater, and I did. She was behind me for a while so, I kept my pace out there. Once I returned to the ocean for the final leg, I felt relaxed, had a good time and a good race.” “Interestingly, some of the athletes that are ocean paddlers loved the conditions,” said race
director Mark Schmidt. “The race had a strong side-shore wind angling from the Northeast and mainly East.

WB Sea Turtle Project to host new weekly “Turtle Talk” Presentations By Mel Beasley Intern
As they prepare to monitor and walk the beach in search of this year’s influx of sea turtles, the Wrightsville Beach Sea Turtle Project plans to host a free educational series called “Turtle Talks”
to help the public understand the plight of the turtle population and what to do in the case of a turtle sighting. Meanwhile, the organization has completely filled its roster of volunteers and exceeded last year’s totals. “We depend on the public to help us regarding sick or injured
turtles,” said Nancy Fahey, president and volunteer coordinator for Wrightsville Beach Sea Turtle Project. “It’s important for people to know how to handle encounters with turtles, and how to inform us of sightings.” n See TURTLES Page 2

Multi-level mixed-used development proposed for Wrightsville Avenue By Hannah Leyva Contributing Writer
A three-story, mixed-used building called “Trolley Station” could be going up on Wrightsville Avenue and Jones Road, across the street
from the grass field next to the ABC store. A proposal to rezone the 0.6-acre plot of land at 6789 Wrightsville Ave. from a residential district to an office and industrial conditional district has been submitted to the

Wrightsville Beach earning spots on magazines, international travel sites By Lena Moriarty Intern
Alongside beaches from Croatia to Australia to Thailand, Wrightsville Beach received international recognition as a tourist destination on Monday after being named to the U.S. News & World Report’s list of “30 Small Beach Towns that Should be on Your Radar.” The recognition was one of several recent accolades bestowed upon Wrightsville Beach by national or regional publications that cover tourism. With a reach of nearly 24 million monthly pageviews, the post on the magazine’s online travel section highlighted the quality of the town’s beach, the breadth of outdoor activities and the energy of the

n TURTLES Continued from Page 1
Set to start June 5 of this year, the new “Turtle Talk” presentations will include educational information about the turtle population, the struggles the species faces, and what the public should do in the event of a turtle or nest sighting. The presentations will be hosted at the North Carolina Coastal Federation offices in Wrightsville Beach. Founded in 1994, the Sea Turtle Project relies on volunteers to promote the preservation and protection of the sea turtle population and their habitats. Volunteering for this season has already closed, as those interested in volunteering with the group had to attend the seasonal training session to work during this summer’s nesting season. The organization held this annual session on March 27, where Fahey reported a larger number of volunteers than the team saw last year. “We had at least 75 volunteers,” Fahey said. “People literally had
to stand against the walls, so it was exciting to see the new participation.” Some of the goals for the organization this year, she said, are to employ extra volunteers to scout the beach, and organize additional educational courses at area museums and schools. “We plan to go into the community this year and give educational presentations at schools and museums,” Fahey said. “Our best opportunity to educate is out on the beach where people can stop us and ask questions.” So far, team members with the organization have not spotted any turtle activity, but Fahey said she has already begun beach monitoring on her four-wheeler, something she will continue to do until the official monitoring begins on May 1. Volunteers will start patrolling the beach on foot during the early morning hours as of May 15. “If we spot a sea turtle nest,” Fahey said, “we will mark the location using GPS coordinates so we can keep coming back to the location to check for
disturbances. We also mark the location with signs to let folks know the nest is protected.” Members will continue to gather data from the animals by collecting one DNA sample and one egg from each discovered nest, she added. These samples will be turned over to researchers for study, something that provides information on possible changes in the animal’s well-being and the environment. Education presentations are set to begin on June 5, at the North Carolina Coastal Federation located at 309 W. Salisbury St. in the town’s historic square, next to the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History. The sessions are free to the public and will take place each Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.

9,800 sq. ft. building “for neighborhood retail, professional offices and residential units.” The triangular piece of property, owned by the Patricia M. Roseman Rev. Trust, is adjacent to Maccomber Terrace and currently has the same R-10 medium-density designation as that development. According to the applicant, changing the zone to allow for mixed-use would fulfill the goals of both the Wrightsville Sound Small Area Plan and the city’s overall comprehensive plan. “Policies for growth and development encourage developing multi-use areas and providing multi-modal connections between various uses,” the application states. “Rezoning this property for provision of both commercial uses and some residential units would be consistent with the concept of in-filling parcels where existing utilities and other urban services are available.” According to the concept plan for Trolley Station, 3,240 sq. feet each will be designated to retail space and professional offices, with the rest of the building’s square footage divided into three residential
units. The drawing shows plans for 28 parking spaces (including one for each residential unit and one handicapped spot) as well as five bicycle parking spaces. Landscaping and sidewalks will also be installed as part of the project. In addition to utilizing an under-used space more efficiently, the applicant argues that land use decisions such as the approval of this rezoning and development “are becoming more and more critical to the promotion of Wilmington’s economic well-being.” “This project is an excellent example of upgrading the existing conditions with quality development,” the application states. “The strategies for a diverse and thriving economy suggest that attracting businesses of different sizes and supporting alternative housing options are a positive means for achieving those goals.” According to Cindee Wolf, the applicant, a community meeting to inform adjacent property owners of the plan was held on April 16th. Wolf said a public hearing for the project will be held at the next Wilmington Planning Commission meeting, which will be held on Wednesday, May 2 at 6 p.m. at City Hall.

CFCC Announces New Training Initiative to Address Construction Workforce Labor Shortages Cape Fear Community College and the Wilmington-Cape Fear Home Builders Association (WCFHBA) today announced the launch of a partnership and initiative that aims to mitigate labor shortages within the construction industry in New Hanover and Pender counties. This summer CFCC will offer Construction Institutes, intensive two-week training programs aimed at helping satisfy local construction workforce needs. With input from the construction community, builders, and subcontractors, CFCC and WCFHBA developed four courses designed to teach basic skills in the fields of masonry, plumbing, carpentry, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC). Upon completion of the training, participants are guaranteed an interview with a local employer. Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage President, Mr. Tim Milam, also announced today that they will be committing $5,000 toward the support and training of the area’s construction
workforce. Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage has partnered with WCFHBA to set up a memorial scholarship fund in honor of Mr. Ted Hardeen who was an integral part of the Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage new home construction division. “This new CFCC initiative strikes a chord within our firm as we work hand-in-hand with so many local builders,” said Milam. “The partnership between the WCFHBA and CFCC will also help raise awareness among youth in our community about the many career opportunities within the construction industry.” The scholarship will be housed under the WCFHBA Paul Gregory Foundation, and the funds will be designated to CFCC programs like the Construction Institutes as well as program funding and scholarship support to students actively enrolled in CFCC construction programs. “While the demand for new homes has steadily increased, the growth in our construction labor force has not,” said WCFHBA President David Spetrino. “This
initiative by CFCC will provide a concise, focused, and comprehensive foundation for students to learn a skill that will forever be in demand. And our region as a whole will benefit.” According to a survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America, 75 percent of construction firms plan to expand their workforce in 2018. Moreover, 78 percent of the surveyed construction firms in North Carolina expressed having a difficult time filling positions. “It is both our mission and our privilege to meet the needs of our local employers,” said CFCC President Jim Morton. “As the need for skilled workers continues to grow, so will our efforts to equip students with the skills they need to succeed.” The Construction Institutes will run concurrently June 18 through June 29 from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The cost for each course is $185. Participants may choose only one course of study. For more information, visit http:// cfcc.edu/constructioninstitute/.
James Morton Approved as President of CFCC Cape Fear Community College announced on April 20 that following a unanimous vote by the North Carolina State Board of Community Colleges, James Morton has been approved as president of the College. Morton first joined Cape Fear Community College in 2015 as the Vice President of Business and Financial Services, and later served as the Executive Vice President for the College. Before coming to Cape Fear Community College, Morton served as the Finance Director for the Wilmington International Airport (ILM) for almost 15 years. Active in the Wilmington community, he has served as the president of the Airlie Gardens Foundation Board and the Cape Fear Rotary. In addition, he has served on the Board of Directors for the Boy Scouts of America, Honor Flight, North Carolina’s Southeast Regional Economic Development Partnership, and as a United Way Campaign Coordinator. Mr. Morton attended the University of North Carolina-Wilmington (UNCW) and holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing from the UNCW Cameron School of Business.

Nearshore & Offshore Fishing Report
Bluefish, king mackerel bites picking up as waters warm By Captain Jesse Gawlik Wrightsville Beach Fishing Charters Ocean Stinger
Nearshore: The bluefish, bonito and flase Albacore have started to show up slowly along the beach front. As the water temps continue to rise the bluefish will start to school up. They will be caught along the beach front out to 5 miles. The best way to catch blue fish is with the same rig used for Spanish Mackerel. Clark Spoon tied to a 40ft 25 lbs floro leader ran behind a #1 Planner. There have been some reports of Bonito being caught in 25ft of water along the beach front. I use the same rig to catch bonito and bluefish. Black bass have been caught around the AR’s in the 10 mile range off Masonboro Inlet. Best bait has been cut mullet. Offshore: King Mackerel bite is picking up in the 20-30 mile mark. Water temps have been slowly on the rise. The water temps at 25 mile mark northeast of Masonboro Inlet is 64 degrees. We are using blue/white ilander lures rigged with medium ballyhoo on the inside out riggers and red/white ilanders rigged with small ballyhoo on the outside outrigger. We are also running 2 skirt rigs on flat lines on the edge of the prop wash 50ft back. The King Mackerel bite has been best in the 85-120ft
of water. There has been a lot of bait in this water depth the last 7 days. We are also Pulling white/ sliver Drone spoons on #6 or #8 planners with 50 ft 100 lbs floro/mono leaders. Gulfstream: If we have a good weather window, the wahoo and yellowfin tuna bite is picking up along Swansboro Hole and points south in 25 – 35 fathoms. We have had really good luck in the 55 mile range for both Wahoo and Yellowfin. Best baits for Wahoo has been Pink/white, Black/purple Ilanders rigged with large ballyhoo are producing nice fish. Must Wahoo have been caught on #3 planner early in the morning and #8 planner the afternoon. The Black Tuna bite has been steady in 20 – 30 fathoms. Pulling small skirt rigs.

Hailing from Wrightsville Beach, international tour veterans ASG will return this weekend to play the Palm Room
International rock band ASG returns to its roots with Wrightsville Beach show this weekend By Kyle Foy Contributing Writer
Nearly two decades ago, before the world tours and record deals, the internationally-recognized hard rock band now known as ASG got their first break in Wrightsville Beach by booking a gig at the Palm Room. Now, with their sixth studio album on the way and a European tour scheduled for next month, the the riff-fueled, distortion-driven rock band is coming back to where it all started for them, with a scheduled to play the Palm Room on Friday, April 27. “Wrightsville Beach and Wilmington will always be home for ASG, so whenever we can come home and cut loose with our friends and family, we will jump at the opportunity” said Jason Shi, guitarist and vocalist of the band. In 2001, they began playing house shows around Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach, as well as experimental performances at venues such as The Skate Barn. Eventually the band found their spotlight at Palm Room, on Wrightsville Beach, where they played their first “big gig.” “I think we had six songs, so I’m sure we played them all twice” Shi recalled.
With professional standup paddleboard racers in town for the 8th annual Carolina Cup, the young paddleboarders of the Wrightsville Beach Junior Elite Team got a lesson from the pros last week. On Wednesday, April 18 at the start of the four days of Carolina Cup events. pro SUP races Zane Kekoa Schweitzer, Candice Appleby, Shae Foudy and Fiona Wylde came to the “JETs” home practice location of Wrightsville SUP at 96 W
Salisbury St. to give the young athletes some pointers. After meeting, and a bit of joking around, the pros started by focusing on the equipment they would each need. The crew then convoyed down to the south end of Wrightsville Beach, where they could ride the current all the way back to Wrightsville SUP. After a brief warm up jog and stretch, Wylde and other professionals gave
a quick pep talk to the young troops. Then they were off on their 2.5-mile journey, with the racers guided the children, giving them tips on working with the current rather then fighting it, and showed them techniques on how to get a smoother and more efficient ride. Several members of the JETs went on to compete during the weekend of racing.
Seventeen-years following that gig, the band’s Facebook biography still calls Wrightsville Beach home. And they foursome is still making music. After a five-year recording hiatus, they plan to release their 6th full length album ‘Survive, Sunrise’ on June 15th of this year via Relapse Records. They’ll follow their local show Friday with a Saturday gig in Emerald Isle, followed by a “I hope that we are not the ‘same old anything,’ that music and creativity will never be bound by any rules or regulations, and that our sound has evolved since day one” said Shi. “With that being said, it’s still the same old ASG.” Palm Room owner Curt Pryor, who first met some of the musicians when they played a house party in the 1996, said scheduling the band for a return trip to Wrightsville Beach has been a priority since he took over ownership nearly two years ago. “It’s great that they’re still playing small bars,” Pryor said. “They’ve got a unique sound, there’s no doubt about that. It’s one of the shows people have been asking for.” Local bands Wax Imperials and the Snowmobiles will open. The show starts at 10 p.m. at the Palm Room, 11 E. Salisbury St., with a $10 cover for entry.
