Wrightsville Beach surf charity gets global spotlight WB police search for bank robbery suspect Staff Report

By Terry lane Staff Writer

The Wrightsville Beach Police Department is searching for the suspect in a Wednesday, June 14 bank robbery at the PNC Bank on Eastwood Road. Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said the robbery suspect left the bank on foot after committing the robbery around 3 p.m. It’s not known if the suspect had gotten a ride after the robbery, House said. The suspect, described as a white, or possibly hispanic, male, entered the PNC Bank wearing sunglasses and a gauze, hospital-style mask over his beard, House said. The suspect walked around the front counter, before jumping over the teller’s counter. Bank staff stepped back from the suspect while he took money from the drawer. He did not have a weapon or threaten the staff, House said. House said police were waiting for surveillance footage n See BUDGET Page 2

A Wrightsville Beach surf charity is gaining global attention for its free programs designed to build self-esteem and empower medically fragile, special needs, and disadvantaged children. Featured in dozens of media including American Way Magazine and TEDx Talks, Indo Jax Surf Charities will be the subject of a one-hour special on the Oprah Winfrey Network in August 2017. Indo Jax Surf Charities uses the ocean as a classroom and surfing as a learning tool. “We believe the ocean has unique healing properties with an ever-changing, unpredictable environment,” said founder, Jack Viorel. “Getting into the ocean and learning to surf, especially special needs children, is a life-long lesson about stepping out of your comfort zone, into unpredictability, and removing limitations.

WB real estate market surges By Terry Lane Staff Writer

As the Cape Fear region continues to show growth in the housing market, local real estate agents are reporting that the Wrightsville Beach market is surging to levels not seen in more than a decade. Cape Fear Realtors reports that the region in May reached a housing price high not seen in nine years. Already, home sales in Wrightsville Beach are outpacing previous years. There have been

23 single family home sales so far in 2017, while there were just 7 single family home sales in Wrightsville Beach in 2016 and 11 in 2015. In 2006, there were 16 single family home sales. Also, condos and other properties are also moving at a brisk pace, real estate professionals said. So far in 2017, there have been 73 total sales in Wrightsville Beach, including condominiums and other properties, compared to a total of 17 last year. “It’s very active here. It’s

on fire,” said Michelle Clark, Realtor at Intracoastal Realty Corporation. Clark said there are several factors that are helping propel sales. One is a low inventory of potential houses, while another is rising interest rates, which is spurring fence-sitting buyers into action before rates go any higher. “Interest rates have been creeping up a little bit and for buyers that have been on the fence, that has motivated them a little more,” Clark said. “There’s always a

Night Sail Preps Sailing Team for Season By Terry Lane Staff Writer

The Carolina Yacht Club Junior Race Team launched its summer season last week with a full moon night sail around Wrightsville Beach, one of the many activities that the team’s coach said will help the young sailor become better. Friday’s night sail will not also prepare the team for its upcoming night race, it will helps the young sailors learn more about the boat’s navigation and instrumentation. “We use the night sail to teach them how to use navigational aids without having visual aids. Plus, it reduces the fear factor,” Glenn said. “They have to feel it, they have to know where the wind is coming from.” Carolina Yacht Club Commodore Sterling Powell, a former Wrightsville Beach firefighter, drove the safety boat supervising the night sail. The July 10 night sail is one of several events the junior race team will be participating in. The team will also travel to Virginia and South Carolina for races this year. Glenn said the team is looking for more young sailors who are excited to learn. To join the team, young sailors must either be a member of the Carolina n See SAIL Page 2

Though they’ve been part of the landscape for more than two decades, two Agave Americana “century plants” at Wrightsville Beach’s Blockade Runner are becoming the center of attention this summer as the unique plants prepare to bloom for the only time in their lifecycle. And with sprouts as high as three stories, these 25-year-old plants will be easy for visitors to spot before their expected bloom in July. “I’ve been working here for 30 years so I’ve seen these plants n See AGAVE Page 2

Lumina News — Your Coastal Community Newspaper since May 2002 has a bit of fear. We teach the kids Continued from Page 1 that it’s okay to be afraid.” “Our programs build higher self-confidence and teach a system children can apply to any situation or hurdle in the future,” said Viorel. “They leave with a formula to be more successful, conquer more challenges, and the ability to deal with fear.” “I encourage anybody thinking about it to go for it,” said Eric Stanley, parent of 11-year old Jaylen, who is unable to see and is courageously battling Juvenile Batten disease. “Jack and his team are great. They’re very patient and know how to work with kids. A parent does not have to worry – they are one-on-one with the children, working with them and watching all the time.” With programs in North Carolina, California, Nicaragua and India, the Indo Jax schedule includes camps specifically formatted for autism, visual impairment, childhood cancer, cystic fibrosis, Boys and Girls Clubs, Children of Belarus, the Boys and Girls Home of Lake Waccamaw, inclusion camps, and special needs camps. Indo Jax Surf Charities began when Jack Viorel was a first-grade teacher at Saint Mary’s Elementary in Wilmington, NC. “The school provided a program for kids born with AIDS,” said Viorel. “I thought about taking them surfing, believing this would be good for their self-esteem and physical issues. The program coordinator talked me into running three camps that summer.” “Prior to surf camp, many of the children with AIDS had stopped taking their medication, knew they were dying, had skin issues, were ostracized, and had low self-esteem,” said Viorel. “By the end of the summer, I knew we were on to something big. The children started to open up, their skin issues improved, many of them went back on their medication, they wanted to surf again and be healthy enough to do it, and started talking about future plans.” With this success, Viorel retired from his 20-year teaching career and has spent a decade honing and expanding his charity for special needs children.

from the beginning,” said Aubrey Doggett, the grounds keeper at the Blockade Runner. “They just sprouted out of nowhere and they just started budding.” In the beginning of May, the two Agave plants were barely as tall as the first story. Today, these plants can be seen from the third story. Baby Agave plants have also sprouted from the roots, giving hopes for more plants like this to come. With this year’s unique weather conditions and renovations around the hotel, these two plants have been well stimulated in the past

few months, Doggett said. “This year’s rain has been different, getting 4 to 5 inches of rain at once and then not seeing rain for a week, which has given us really dry weather. There haven’t been those frequent showers that we’re used to and when it rains heavy, the rain just runs right off the plants,” Doggett said. “I didn’t mow the grass until May this year, which I usually start doing in early April. It was really hot and then got cold again, making the weather really different from previous years, which may be why these plants have had such a sudden growth.” The recent renovations to the beach side of the resort have also contributed to the plants’ growth,

Doggett said. “With painting and scraping and the construction, we’ve had to trip and cut off parts of the plant, which kept it stimulated throughout the recent months,” he said. “They’re also in a protected spot, which gives them protection from the north winds.” This spontaneous sprout has made the plants a star on the Blockade Runner’s social media account, as hotel staff said the community is looking forward to the bloom. “These plants are signature to the Blockade Runner, which makes this such a rare occasion,” said Samantha Black, Blockade Runner’s digital marketing coordinator.

In 2017, Indo Jax Surf Charities will serve and assist about 1,000 children, at no charge. “We take on the responsibility of raising the money,” said Viorel. “Most families with medically fragile, special needs, or at-risk children are struggling to make ends meet.” The surf camp program is funded by contributions from individuals, businesses, foundations and corporate sponsors. “United Health Care has supported the program for three years, The Jordan Spieth Foundation came onboard last year, and this year Live Oak Bank joined the team,” said Viorel. “Blockade Runner Beach Resort has been a solid supporter.” The Hero Effect, co-hosted by former Super Bowl Champion Donald Driver and actress/advocate Emily Wilson, will feature Indo Jax Surf Charities on the Oprah Winfrey Network on Saturday, August 12, at 10 AM. A premiere showing will be held in Wrightsville Beach on Thursday, August 10, at Blockade Runner Beach Resort. “They’ve donated the ballroom and we’re going to have a big showing,” said Viorel. “This is very exciting for us.”

fewer than 100 properties even available, making them a premium for sellers, he said. “I think it’s balanced between buyers and sellers market,” Williams said. “We have not yet had a full recovery on the island. There are certainly transactions occurring that are moving prices up, and buy the end of the year, I expect we will have seen some appreciation of housing values. The Wrightsville Beach real estate market often will have different dynamics than other suburban areas since it’s predominantly a market for second homes, Williams said.

“There’s no urgency to sell,” he said. “Owners will say, ‘If I can’t get my price, I’ll rent it or hold on to it.” However, Williams said the mainstream residential market is emerging as a larger percentage of transactions. “More people are moving here full time,” Williams said, with particular growth in the Harbor Island neighborhoods. But with the improving economy, Sounia Nejad Chaney, a Realtor with Intracoastal Realty, said there is higher demand for Wrightsville Beach properties than before.

“We’re always getting request for new listings,” Chaney said. “It’s almost like a wait list for property.” Where there was once more interest from investors, Chaney said that more residents are looking to buy a home in Wrightsville Beach in order to live. “Wilmington area has everything, the beach, fishing, boating, Broadway shows, everything is here,” Chaney said. “Buyers are doing everything possible to get here.” Email terrylane@luminanews. com

Editorial/Opinion After report of chemical in CFPUA water, county organizes meeting with chemical maker After being revealed this week by the Wilmington StarNews of the presence of an industrial chemical in Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) water, county and CFPUA officials said they would meet this week with officials from the chemical manufacturer. The report showed that the chemcial GenX is present in Cape Fear River water from the Chemours Company Fayetteville Works facility. Officials said they would meet with representatives of Chemours regarding drinking water safety is scheduled for Thursday, June 15. Meeting invitees include officials from New Hanover County, City of Wilmington, Brunswick County, Pender County, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, NC Department of Environmental Quality, and NC Department of Health and Human Services. On Monday evening, the

NC Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) released a health effects statement on GenX to county public health directors. The statement was prepared for the NC Division of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) by the Occupational and Environmental Epidemiology Branch of NC DHHS. The role of the Division of Public Health is to assist the NCDEQ in understanding the human health effects of GenX, and the health effects statement was reiterated to county officials during a Tuesday morning call with state public health officials. Below is a key excerpt from their statement: There are no U.S. regulatory guideline levels for GenX. However, as part of the European chemical registration, a 2-year chronic toxicity and cancer study with rats was

performed. They reported a Derived No Effect Level (DNEL) of 0.01 mg/kg bw/day. Based on U.S. risk assessment calculations, this corresponds to a concentration in drinking water of 70,909 ng/L of GenXmore than 100 times greater than the mean value of 631 ng/L detected in the Cape Fear River. Based upon these data, the GenX levels detected in 20132014 would be expected to pose a low risk to human health. This statement begins to shed light on human health risks from GenX, but it does not eliminate the county’s concern that this unregulated compound has been found in our drinking water supply. New Hanover County officials continue to request that the EPA and DEQ establish regulatory standards without delay. Lumina News will have more on this story as it develops.

Hook, Line & Sinker June Fishing Continues Providing Anglers Options By Skylar Walters

Water temperatures continue to vary with the ever changing weather, but they remain in peak and optimal summertime ranges for both inshore and offshore anglers. Reading in the upper seventies have provided fishermen plenty of options when deciding to wet a line and while air temperatures remain fairly mundane, the fishing should only continue to produce and maybe even in some cases, improve. The weather forecast for the week is typical for the summertime months, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected and winds to be optimal for some fishing excursions. As always, make sure to check updated forecasts before venturing out, as conditions can change suddenly and unexpectedly. You can also check in with Zack at Atlantic Marine, as he knows exactly where to direct those wanting to know what’s currently biting. Inshore, the flounder fishing has really taken off with the majority of the larger fish being found towards Carolina Beach and in the Cape Fear River, although there are plenty of keepers but smaller fish being found around Wrightsville and Figure 8 Island. Abundant bait has fattened these fish up rather quickly and fish in the five pound range and up are not that uncommon with the fish being found in our local waters a tad smaller in the two pound range. Carolina Rigged live bait is a good option, especially since both mud minnows and finger mullet are plentiful. Artificial baits will also work and will allow anglers to cover a bit more area than soaking natural baits. Fish are holding around the docks as well as the deeper creeks and channels, with those having a muddy bottom being more apt at holding more fish. Red drum are also being found in the same areas and will readily attack the same presentations. Along the beach, anglers fishing for a stray cobia or two are still finding some action around the inlets, although the majority of the fish have since left the area, there will continue to be some reports of a fish

caught here or there. Remember that those fish caught beyond three miles out are illegal to keep, no matter what size they are. Those looking for other options, such as spanish mackerel have been having some good success around the inlets trolling Clark Spoons. Water depths of around twenty five feet have continued to produce the best results on planers. A few bluefish have also started to show up in the mix. Sight casters are finding feeding schools early and late in the day and have been limiting out in quick order by throwing small spoons. King mackerel remain elusive to those fishing along the beach but those fishing in the five to ten mile range have reported numerous fish being found, although the majority of fish still appear small for this time of year. Areas around the 5 Mile Boxcars and Dredge Wreck are holding plenty of fish. Some slightly larger fish have been found in the area of 10 Mile Rock and 23 Mile Rock. Those anglers waiting for the inshore dolphin influx will be pleased to hear that a few fish have been caught as close as 12 miles, and while those reports are sporadic, as conditions continue to warm, it shouldn’t be long before there are reports of a few fish as close as 8 miles or better. Offshore, the bottom fishing has been good with reports of plenty of triggerfish, red grouper and snapper starting in the twenty five mile range and improving out to thirty miles. The deeper depths are hold less sharks and more fish for the cooler, so if the option is there, then moving to deeper water is a good one unless you are already on the fish. Gulf Stream fishing is producing the typical offshore package with wahoo and dolphin being reported as well as a few tuna and some billfish. Areas around the Steeples produced the past few days but that can change by tomorrow, so check water temperatures and get some current fishing intel before heading out.
