Wilmington City Council approves new mixed-use developments By Hannah Leyva Contributing Writer

The Wilmington City Council approved two new mixed-use developments on Tuesday night, including a large Mayfaire-like project called CenterPoint that would be located on Eastwood Road. The first approved by the board is a three-story building containing 3,240 sq. feet each for retail and office space as well as three one-bedroom apartment units. The development, called Trolley Station, will be located on about an acre of land at 6789 Wrightsville Ave. at the intersection with Jones Road. While there were concerns by neighbors about buffer zones and flooding (Jones Road is only currently partially paved and prone to high water levels during storms), the project was eventually approved by a 5 – 2 vote, with Councilmen Charlie Rivenbark and Paul Lawler dissenting. Conditions for approval include a 20-foot buffer for the 45-foot building on the property line with the adjacent MacCumber Terrace residential community as well as a bus pullout west of the development’s proposed

Wrightsville Avenue pullout to increase accessibility to public transportation. Trolley Station’s size of 9,800 total sq. feet of mixed-use space pales in comparison to the other development approved for a lot just a mile away. According to the proposal plans, CenterPoint will have 300 apartments, a 200-room hotel, 127,939 sq. feet of retail space, 55,461 sq. feet of restaurant space, 75,000 sq. feet of medical office space, and 31,600 sq. feet of general office space. It will also include two multi-level parking decks as well as street-level spots for a total of 1810 parking spaces. The project will be developed on a 24.81-acre site located at 1531 and 1541 Eastwood Rd. between the Eastport residential subdivision and Cambridge Village retirement community. An extension of Drysdale Road will be built on the Eastport side of the development by the North Carolina Department of Transportation as part of the proposed changes to the Eastwood Road/Military Cutoff intersection.

After raucous July 4th, WB residents ask police for help with Palm Tree Island partying By Terry Lane Staff Writer

After a string of incidents on the iconic Palm Tree Island that culminated with a wild July 4th celebration, two dozen residents told the Wrightsville Beach Police Chief that they were fed up with the growing party scene on the tidal island that sits only yards away from a pair of Wrightsville Beach neighborhoods. While Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said that the town did not have enforcement jurisdiction, instead asserting that it was with the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, residents relayed they were getting mixed signals about which agency was able to enforce alcohol, noise and other ordinances on the strip of land that attracts large numbers of boaters when exposed by the tide. During the quarterly “Chat with the Chief” on Tuesday, residents of Channel Walk, Lees Cut and

Charles Mitchell Welton was memorialized on Tuesday with the dedication of three benches at Wrightsville Beach’s South Channel Park. The Parks and Recreation department of Wrightsville Beach installed the benches on behalf of Mickey and Angie Faulk, Charles’ grandparents, after they donated more than $3,000 to the town for the upgrades. The Faulks, accompanied by other members of their family, surprised their daughter and Charles’ mother, Amy Welton, with the benches on Tuesday morning. In speaking about why he wanted to donate these benches, Mickey Faulk said: “Wrightsville has given so much to us and we just wanted to give back to it. We wanted to teach our grandkids that you don’t want to just take, you always want to give back.” Charles was five months old when he passed away due to heart complications in 2004. “We will always count him as one of the grand kids,” said Faulk.

Three banner surf events return to Wrightsville Beach in August N.C. Press Release Named one of the “ten best little surf towns in America” by Coastal Living magazine, Wrightsville Beach will host three headline surf events in a span of two-weeks in August 2018. First on the calendar, Aug. 10-12, is the Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic, open to lady surfers of all ages including amateurs, professionals, and teenie wahines. This marks the 21st consecutive year of Wahine competition at Wrightsville Beach,

excluding a hiatus in 2012. “The atmosphere of the Wahine Classic is friendly and enjoyable, where many girls get their start and their first taste of surfing competition,” said Jo Pickett, event organizer. “Everybody’s happy and laughing. There are a few tears shed and some disappointment, but it’s a very encouraging and nurturing environment.” Next on the calendar, Aug. 17-19, the 13th annual O’Neill/ Sweetwater Pro-Am Surf Fest takes over the town. The second largest surf contest on the East Coast, Surf Fest attracts 64 of

Throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s professional skaters Tony Hawk and Ray Underhill were best friends in their late teens and early twenties. In fact, Hawk was present the night that Underhill met the love of his life, Kerry, and said it was a moment that he will never forget. Hawk

is the godfather to Keaton and Olivia Underhill and remains very involved with the family, who lives in Wilmington. As the two friends began the next chapter of their lives, Underhill was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. After going n See SKATE Page 2

Swain created The Forum shopping center on Military Cutoff Road, among other projects. “He set the tone for the higherquality types of developments that have followed,” Ed Wetherill said. “His projects in town and his work in the community also illustrate that he cares about our city.”

Swain is bringing in CI Design of Baltimore to design the project, as well local architect Bruce Bowman of Bowman Murray Hemingway Architects and civil engineer Richard Collier of local firm McKim & Creed. Bowman and Collier, who both spoke before city council Tuesday night, serve on the City of Wilmington’s planning board, which approved the CenterPoint development at one of its recent meetings.

Shoreline neighborhoods said the drinking, debauchery, profane music, trespassing and public drunkenness was becoming a dangerous nuisance that was serving as a “black eye” on the town. As residents said that the island that is uncovered at low tide has become busier in general on weekends, they said the party that developed during the recent Independence Day celebration was especially out of control. They told House that trespassing was a continuous problem, with throngs of college-aged young

Wrightsville Beach Alderman Ken Dull also spoke during the public hearing portion in favor of the development. “I cant think of a better project for the community,” Dull said. “I think it’s the right place for it … I think it’s the right time, and most importantly I think it’s the right people.” While traffic issues have been brought up at previous meetings, only one resident Tuesday night spoke against the project.

One person was said to have passed out in the neighborhood. Residents also reported injuries and confrontations. One person suffered a serious injury after cutting themselves on oyster shells, while another was dangerously cut by a boat propeller. And some of the residents said they were nervous about confronting the drunken trespassers for fear of a hostile or violent reprisal. Residents said there have been other violent incidents involving the island, including a fight last

Labor Day. The residents said there was a limited presence from the sheriff’s office and town police, which they asserted mostly observed the action without making arrests or issuing citation. Sheriff’s office spokesman Lt. Jerry Brewer said that there was one contract sheriff’s officer at the apartment complex, paid for by the management. House told the group at the meeting that he had spoken with New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon about the problem and would try to organize a meeting between residents, the sheriff and Wrightsville Beach police. Brewer said that deputies did

respond to the incident where the man was cut by a boat propeller. The injured person was transported over to the boat ramp, where a bystander fashioned a rope tourniquet before deputies arrived and applied another tourniquet. The man was transported to New Hanover County Regional Medical Center. Brewer said that sheriff’s deputies have responded to noise complaints from Palm Tree Island in the past. However, since the noise was coming from boats, most visitors have simply faced the other direction, Brewer said, reducing the instances of noise complaints.

“It’s pretty overambitious for the area it’s in,” said a Cavalier Woods resident. “I truly believe that a majority of our residents and our constituency are opposed to yet another development in the area of this magnitude.” Both the request for rezoning to allow for the project as well as a special use permit to increase the buildings’ height to 75 feet maximum passed city council unanimously.

New Initiative to Explore Resilience Practices for New Hanover County With the help of a generous grant from The Duke Endowment, New Hanover Regional Medical Center and Communities In Schools of Cape Fear will partner with numerous community organizations to develop a plan to unite the community around combating toxic stress and the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) over the next few months. Mebane Boyd, formerly Manager of Family and Community Education with Smart Start of New Hanover County and a long-time community advocate for various nonprofit organizations, will lead the effort to rally New Hanover County around one strategy to address this growing public health issue. The Board of Directors at Smart Start of New Hanover County graciously awarded her a six-month leave of absence to complete this work. Boyd will work through Communities In Schools of Cape Fear during this 6-month planning period. Leaders in public education, public health, law enforcement, clinical treatment and multiple agencies that work with children have become more aware of the impact of ACEs on children and their ability to perform in school and thrive in society in general. Many groups have discussed how to help children impacted by ACEs, and the adults who work with them, in developing resilience to buffer the impact of these traumas. Boyd’s goal over the next six months will be to coordinate with community leaders, schools, and other stakeholders to develop one consistent plan to both identify children impacted by the toxic stress caused by ACEs and to ensure they are given the best chance for success. The next phase will be for the community to buy into that plan and seek funding to implement it.

“We have a public health crisis that is both identifiable and treatable,” Boyd said. “Many people and agencies are working diligently to help children and families in this community. By working together using a similar agreed-upon blueprint, we will create a bigger difference, around a common language for both providers and families, no matter where they receive services.” “Adverse Childhood Experiences” (ACEs) are 10 traumas, such as parents’ divorce, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, domestic violence, incarceration, substance abuse and others, that happen to children as their brain is developing. These traumas have long-lasting health impacts that are only now beginning to be fully understood. This concept was developed through a groundbreaking study 20 years ago by Dr. Vincent Felitti, Chief of Preventive Medicine at Kaiser Permanente, and Dr. Robert Anda with the Centers for Disease Control. Investigators found that the more ACEs a child has, the more likely it is that the child will encounter just about every public health problem later in life, including depression, obesity, substance abuse, as well as “physical” conditions such as heart disease, cancer, respiratory illness and others. Research on ACEs has found that children with three or more ACEs are 32 times more likely to have learning or behavior problems. They are also 2½ times as likely to fail a grade, and more likely to score lower on standardized tests, have language difficulties or be expelled or suspended. Those with four or more ACEs are 12 times more likely to die by suicide and those with six or more ACEs die 20 years earlier on average than those without ACEs. Some 25% of women and 18% of men have three or more ACEs,

and 62% of the population has at least one. The national total annual cost of ACEs, in terms of health, judicial and other societal costs, is estimated to be more than $100 billion. “We see every day the negative impact ACEs have on the students and families with whom we work, both on academic and social fronts,” said Louise Hicks, Executive Director of Communities In Schools of Cape Fear. “We know proven models exist to combat this crisis and are excited for the opportunity to work with our partners to fully research these options and develop a blueprint tailored for our region. We believe the collective impact this work will have on our community will be felt for years to come. “We are thrilled to have Mebane on board to lead this process, as she brings relevant educational and professional experience, along with a strong history of community engagement. We are grateful for our partners at Smart Start for providing a leave of absence, so she could accept this temporary assignment.” Boyd will begin her work by meeting with various community stakeholders in the community and studying some of the many evidence-based programs that are designed to address ACEs. NHRMC is helping lead the discussion among nonprofit organizations. “This is an ambitious goal, but it is achievable,” she said. “Ultimately our goal is to reduce the number of these traumatic events, but also to increase the children’s resiliency in coping with them. We all need resiliency training – the children, families, teachers, counselors, all of us who are directly or indirectly impacted by these recurring traumatic events.”

ShareCare Network launches online platform for special needs families Wilmington resident Andrew Ottesen recently announced a new online platform that allows special needs families to exchange free respite care services, an idea he developed after attending the MDA Toast to Life Gala in 2016. Ottensen’s stepbrother has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, and while he currently does not need special care, Ottensen knows that one day that time will come. Ottensen spoke with families, recognizing that arranging quality care was a significant issue for families facing many different challenges locally, nationally, and even worldwide. After over a year and a half of hard work and setbacks, I am very excited to finally launch a platform that will help these families, which will someday include my own,” said Ottensen. Respite care allows caregivers, who are often family members, time to focus on personally responsibilities, helping them to be physically fit and mentally prepared to provide care. “Over 7,000 families are on the waiting list for North Carolina’s Medicaid Waiver program that provides access to no-cost respite care services. Clearly, respite care is an unmet need in our community,” said Ottesen. Ottesen added, “Launching our website is not the end, but merely a start of what is to come. We are working with volunteer agencies to provide a larger care network so that families will have even greater access to respite care. We are also making connections with other healthcare networks and working to expand ShareCare Network’s reach to other areas. In the next several months, we will be focused on

funding for mobile app development.” Key supporters include the New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation, Wilmington Health, and CastleBranch. Becoming a member of ShareCare Network is relatively easy and straightforward. Prospective members simply register for an account on the website and provide some basic information about themselves and their family. After the family request is reviewed for general fit with the network, the prospective member will complete a background check through CastleBranch to ensure safety. Once completed and approved, the membership is activated, and the new member will be allowed access to ShareCare Network’s full platform to request care and volunteer to fill another family’s need. According to Dr. Karrie Grear, neurologist with New Hanover Regional Medical Center and ShareCare Network board member, “ShareCare Network is a resource that provides an opportunity for caregivers to get a break and to be able to do some things for themselves. During that time, they have someone that is trustworthy, able, and competent to take care of their loved ones. It also gives them the opportunity to give back. In exchange for having someone come in and help them in their home, they get the opportunity to give that gift to somebody else who is a caregiver. In my mind the program is very rewarding in both of those ways.” For more information on ShareCare Network, or to donate to the non-profit organization, please visit https://www.sharecarenetwork.org/.

New Hanover County Receives Six National Awards for Innovation

New Hanover County has been recognized with six Achievement Awards from the National Association of Counties (NACo). The six awarded programs help to increase a family’s self-sufficiency, reduce emergency response times, teach teens the value of library resources and the fashion industry, deliver meals to seniors who are recovering from an illness or surgery, provide healthy eating education to seniors, and bridge the gap between jail and the real world to reduce recidivism. “New Hanover County is leading the nation in innovative, successful initiatives that meet our citizens where they are,” said County Manager Chris Coudriet. “I am proud of the departments that won a NACo award.

The system is motion sensitive, which helps reduces ongoing costs while also increasing safety. In addition, security improvements at several other city facilities were included in the Parks Bond approved by voters in 2016. Some of those improvements have already been made and others are in the planning stages. Improved lighting and security mirrors have been installed at Robert Strange Park, along with alarms and panic buttons installed at the MLK Center located in the park. Panic buttons were also installed at several other city parks/recreation facilities. Video cameras are being purchased for Robert Strange Park and Maides Park and will be installed in the next few months.
