Traces of GenX found in WB well
WBOR earns third place regional finish By Terry Lane Staff Writer
By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Wrightsville Beach officials were reviewing what steps to take following the announcement last week that the presence of the chemical GenX had been found in a town well, with officials saying that there would be more testing on the well in the future. On Friday, July 15, results of three weeks of environmental testing of a well used in the Wrightsville Beach water supply system showed the presence of the chemical byproduct that has been linked to cancer, town and state officials said. The measurements of GenX fall below a health threshold established by the state. Still, Town Manager Tim Owens said that the well no. 11 was taken out of service immediately while officials examine their options, which will likely include testing other town wells. Well no. 11 is located off Allens Lane in Wilmington, near the Harris Teeter grocery store off Wrightsville Ave. “There are minimal traces, but it is present,” Owens said. In three tests of the well, conducted by both the state Department of Environmental Quality and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, between 24 and 28 parts-per-trillion of GenX were discovered in the well. The state health departments set a threshold of 140 parts-per-trillion. The Town of Wrightsville Beach is not on the Cape Fear

Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue team competitors Michel Heijnen and Sean Ruttkay sprint into the ocean at the start of the rescue swim during the 2017 South Atlantic Regional lifeguarding championships in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. .
As they expected, several veterans of the Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue competition team put themselves in front of the pack, and a strong performance from the rookies and the women’s rescue race relay, boosted the team to a third-place finish in the 2017 South Atlantic Regional lifeguarding competitions last week in Jacksonville Beach, Fla. “We had high expectations going into it,” said Mo Peacock, a veteran competitor for the team. “We did really well, especially compared to the size of the other beaches going in.” The WBOR took third overall in the “Big Beach” category for beaches with more than 50 guards. Just over that number, the WBOR team competed with the Jacksonville Beach team that won, which has more than 100 guards, and the guards from Charleston, S.C., which cover all n See WBOR Page 2
Wrightsville Beach JETs take on the East Coast By Kennedy Meehan Intern
At races up and down the East Coast, a team of young paddleboard racers are representing Wrightsville Beach and demonstrating the growing level of paddle sports talent that is developing in the area. The Wrightsville Beach Junior Elite Team, known as the WB JETs, is a team of local paddle sports racers ranging in age from 10 to 16 years old who are traveling to compete in races across the region, including recent trips to Florida and Charleston for races. Jarrod Covington, owner of Wrightsville Beach SUP and head coach of WB JETs, said the team is developing their confidence, fitness and water knowledge through learning surf, paddleboard and canoeing skills from team practices. “My main goal is for the kids is to have fun and be intelligent and confident on the water and all around the water. I want them to learn to build with each other and break down barriers,” Covington said. n See JETS Page 2

Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler McGregor (left to right), Seaman Crewe Goralski, Petty Officer 2nd Class Zane Hutson, Fireman Samuel Ragsdale, Petty Officer 3rd Class Michael Sparks and Fireman Jordan Markland, Coast Guardsmen at Station Fort Macon, recall a recent rescue at the station, July 10, 2017. Sparks and Ragsdale were rescued by the others after a diving trip gone wrong a few days earlier.
A loud pop startled two scuba divers exploring a wreck 50 feet below the ocean’s surface eight miles off Atlantic Beach, North Carolina, July 6. Divers Michael Sparks and Samuel Ragsdale heard it, but neither man recognized its significance. It wasn’t until later that the friends and fellow Coast Guardsmen realized they were in trouble. “As we approached our anchor, I couldn’t see any line extending to the surface,” said Sparks. “My heart sank.

Ages Returning to Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic Staff report One weekend per year, the boys step aside, and surfer girls of all ages take center stage at the Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic. Open to newbies, amateurs, or professionals from around the globe, the annual classic returns August 11-13, 2017. Long-time Wahine Classic supporter Blockade Runner Beach Resort will serve as the host hotel. “There are only a handful of surf competitions on the East Coast for ladies,” said Jo Pickett, event organizer, surf teacher, and former US National Shortboard Champion. “The Wahine Classic at Wrightsville Beach is recognized as one of the majors, in good company with Jacksonville, Florida, Folly Beach, and Virginia Beach.” Along with new entries in 2017, Pickett expects most participants from last year to return. “Girls from Virginia to Florida make their way here to compete,” said Pickett. “They love this competition because they n See WAHINE Page 2

While the third place finish was a bit of a step back from the recent streak of four first-place regional finishes, Peacock said the team went into the competition knowing they would be outnumbered by the local beaches.

Veteran Hunter Hay took first in the surfski and age-group categories for surfski and prone paddle race. Veteran Sean Ruttkay also grabbed first place age group finishes for surf race, run/swim/ paddle and run/swim/run. A rookie also made an impact, as Michel Heijnen won first place overall for the run/swim/ run competition, while adding age group firsts for run/swim/run
and the surf race. Meanwhile, the women’s relay rescue race team of Thalia Harrison, Ana Fish, Kayra DeMarte, Kristi Falco took a second-place overall finish.

The tests indicate that the water the CFPUA put into the ASR system flowed into the part of the aquifer where Wrightsville Beach draws its water. “We were hoping that the water wouldn’t move laterally,” Owens said. However, the levels present in well no.11 showed to be below those of other test sites in New Hanover County, with Mayor
Bill Blair emphasizing that Wrightsville Beach’s exposure to the chemical is minimal and below safety thresholds. Owens also said that while well no. 11 was taken offline on Friday, it may need to go back into service, especially if other wells go out of service. Well no. 11 can produce as much as 20-25 percent of the town’s water. Additionally, Blair said that the consequences of the test results needed to be addressed before the town would be able to further integrate the CFPUA water system into the town’s water supply plan. With the town’s water system aging, the town has put together an ad hoc committee to study options for the system, which could include buying CFPUA water or having the utility buy the town’s system.

ISA certified Bradley Rose and Steven Mangiacapre will serve as Head Judges, assisted by Judges Eric Knight, Jed Jeffries, Dylan Stone, and John Sideris. “It is encouraging to see an increase in surfing and other watersports opportunities for ladies and girls,” said Mary Baggett, Wrightsville resident and co-owner of host hotel Blockade Runner Beach Resort. “With surfing as an Olympic sport starting in 2020, one day we hope to see our Wahine Classic girls on the podium wearing gold, silver, or bronze.” “Last year we switched our awards to medals for the teenie wahines,” said Pickett, owner of Crystal South Surf Camp. “When I hung the medals around their necks I told them, “This is just like the Olympics because surfing is in the Olympics in 2020.” They all lit up. They just thought that was the coolest thing.” Designated charities for the 2017 Wahine Classic include Roots to Recovery, an organization that supports women with children dealing with opioid and other addictions, and the Southern North Carolina District of the Eastern Surfing Association (ESA). One week following the Wahine Classic, on Monday, Aug. 21, Surfers Healing returns to Wrightsville Beach. Surfers Healing was founded 20 years ago by professional surfer Izzy Paskowitz and his wife Danielle for their son Isaiah after he was diagnosed with autism. Paskowitz, whose son experienced the positive impact of surfing, now shares this unique therapy with other children diagnosed with autism. Wrightsville Beach is one of 21 locations on the 2017 tour from Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, and coast-to-coast in the Continental United States.

Saturday’s competition is scheduled from 8 AM until 4 PM. Sunday is slated from 8 AM until 3 PM followed by an awards ceremony on the beach. Online event registration will close at midnight on August 9. Spectators are welcome. The best accesses to the beach are 37 and 38, or just a short walk on the beach from Blockade Runner. “The mission of Wahine Classic is to empower girls of all ages, build their self-confidence and selfesteem, and to promote physical, mental, and emotional wellness,” said Pickett. “While having a fun weekend of learning, teaching, and friendly competition, the girls and ladies develop mutual trust and lasting friendships. We believe that time spent in the ocean has a positive impact on our lives.” 2017 Ambassadors for the Wahine Classic are Oak Island, NC native Swain Curtain, a UNCW student and Eastern Surfing Association (ESA) Surfer for the past four years; University of North Florida Student Kat Neff, a twotime East Coast Junior Women Longboard Champion and threetime ESA Regional Champ; and, Wilmington’s Leah Thompson, named the Carissa Moore Rookie

Editorial/Opinion Around the beach WB wins beach renourishment funding but long term funding issues remain Wrightsville Beach won funding for another round of beach renourishment funding, county and town officials said. But while the appropriation in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers work plan will bring construction crews to Wrightsville Beach during the 2018 winter, the question of whether those crews will be back to continue the four-year cycles is still unanswered. “The long term situation is still up in the air,” Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair said. Town and county officials are still working to shore up both federal and state funding to help keep the projects going. While there is no dedicated source of state funding, the limits of federal funding for the project have local officials worried. “The costs have risen significantly while the actually cap on the contributions has not,” Blair
said. Initially projected to last until 2036, the federal program that funds local beach renourishment (called a Coastal Storm Damage Reduction program maintenance event) is close to reaching its limit. There was projected to be at least one cycle left for Wrightsville Beach, but town officials were worried even that funding may not be there. Meanwhile, the county is still working with the Army Corps of Engineers on a process to challenge the total construction budget for the life of the project. The goal of that process is to determine whether there is still federal interest in the project and to justify increasing the total construction costs for the life of the project.
North Carolina Holiday Flotilla Committee looks to increase
sponsors, add more boats
The North Carolina Holiday Flotilla Committee is looking to bring in new sponsors and increase boat participation as it builds towards the November event. At the committee’s most recent meeting, the committee said that the flotilla website is getting between 25,000- 50,000 hits a year, making it more attractive to potential sponsors,since many go to the website in September and October to plan their trip to the annual boat parade. Committee members also said they were looking to get more boats to sign up earlier. Member John Andrews said that the sailboat category was a great opportunity for boaters to get into the flotilla parade, since it usually only has one or two entrants a year.
Have your voice heard Got something on your mind about Wrightsville Beach? Want to have your say? I am opening the “Around the Beach” column to guest writers from the Wrightsville Beach area. Business owners, clergy, politicians and students are all invited, but you don’t need a title, just an idea. I’ll even help you write if you think you could use the help. I’m willing to consider columns on almost any topic, under a few conditions. All topics must be local or regional. They also need to be neutral. No attacks on local politicians, organizations or businesses. No overt promotion of a business or a cause. It should present a somewhat balanced view, even if you are promoting one side of the issue. Of course, our Letters to the Editor section is also available if you only have a little, and not a lot, to say. If you’re interested, write me at terrylane@luminanews.com or call (910) 719-9180. I’d be happy to hear your ideas.

Hook, Line & Sinker Typical Summertime Patterns Persist By Skylar Walters
As we head into the last couple of weeks of July, the conditions that anglers are facing are changing weekly if not daily. With water temperatures fluctuating from the lower to mid eighties on a regular basis, the fish that anglers are targeting are also adapting to the changing conditions. Hence last week’s report was that the fish were biting really good and the week before the summer doldrums were taking affect. This week is no different as fishermen are fishing and some are catching but depending on the day, it can definitely be hit or miss, so don’t be discouraged if the fish aren’t being cooperative. Inshore, the flounder fishing continues to be very good, as it has been for the past several weeks, Live finger mullet and peanut menhaden fished on Carolina Rigs are a good bet but some are also have luck using the larger scented soft artificial baits. The area docks and creeks around Wrightsville Beach are good spots to try as are the area inlets, but if you or anyone on your boat knows anything about the areas around the lower Cape Fear River, there lies your best chances of a decent catch or two. Red drum are holding in the same areas and can be caught on the same baits but may require a little different tactic and luck. Some decent speckled trout fishing is also being found in the river with lots of the fish being encountered being of good quality. Fresh shrimp is also producing some good catches of black drum along the oyster beds and around the area docks and bridges Along the beach, the surf anglers are having lots of success with virginia mullet coming from the sloughs and deeper holes within the outer sandbars. Some red drum, flounder and bluefish are also being reported on a variety of baits, but the natural baits,
TIDES Masonboro Inlet
Latitude 34° 11’ N, Longitude 77° 49’ W
such as minnows and shrimp are producing much better than the artificial. Spanish mackerel are still a regular occurrence around the mouths of the inlets and in water depths of thirty to forty feet, with the better fishing being found around the baitfish congregated in the areas. Clark Spoons trolled on small weights and also small planers are the main tactic while some anglers are still electing to sight cast with Gotcha Plugs and small spoons. As has been the case all summer, fishing early and late in the day will increase your chances of finding fish willing to eat. Those fishing live trolled menhaden are finding lots of king mackerel in the ten mile range with better fishing being around fifteen miles. With that said, the waterway is full of menhaden from Wrightsville Beach southward towards Carolina Beach and also into the Cape Fear River, so as those fish start emptying into the ocean on a regular basis from the various inlets, expect the predators looking for something to eat to react accordingly. Offshore, the bottom fishing has been good, but as has been reported previously, the sharks are a major problem for those fishing the area ledges. Moving out to water depths over one hundred feet was working for most anglers a few weeks ago, but has slowly reached the same fate and those fishing are sometimes forced to move out to even deeper locations. Gulf Stream fishing has been hot or miss and with the high water temperatures, finding a conducive location to drop lines has been difficult. There’s still some good fishing to be found, but a lot of boaters are electing to find other areas to fish with a better chance of some fish for the cooler.

Neighborhood GLOW Academy to Host Guy Fieri for 3rd Year of Celebrity Chef Events Staff report Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri will visit Wilmington in late January to share his signature culinary style and support the Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington. Three events are scheduled: an exclusive dinner for no more than 15 couples in a private home on January 25, 2018, and breakfast and lunch events both to be held on January 26, 2018. For all three events, Chef Fieri will determine the menu, source ingredients and supervise both Food Network and a locally-sourced staff of Wilmington chefs, while regaling guests with stories from behind the scenes of his celebrated career as an
Emmy Award-winning chef, restaurateur, author and TV personality. Chef Fieri is the third Food Network star to visit Wilmington in support of GLOW Academy. Emeril Lagasse hosted events in 2015 and Giada De Laurentiis in 2016. The celebrity chef events reflect the career of GLOW Academy Founder Judy Girard, who was president of the Food Network from 1994 to 2004. Monteith Construction and the Live. Eat.Surf. Restaurant group are early sponsors of the events. Additional sponsor opportunities are available with benefits including personalized and autographed books, meet and greet occasions, and premiere seating. Tables
of ten will go on sale September 4, and individual tickets, if still available, will go on sale October 2. For more information, visit www.glowacademy.net. Fieri began his love affair with food at the age of ten, selling soft pretzels from a three-wheeled bicycle cart he built with his father called “The Awesome Pretzel.” After graduating from the University of Nevada Las Vegas with a degree in Hospitality Management, Fieri launched his culinary career in 1996 with the opening of Johnny Garlic’s, his first restaurant based in his hometown of Santa Rosa, CA. Since then, Fieri has created a thriving culinary empire as the host of top-rated TV shows Guy’s Big
Bite, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and Guy’s Grocery Games; author of five New York Times bestselling cookbooks; and owner of 50 restaurants across the country. The Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington is North Carolina’s only single gender public charter school. GLOW Academy opened in August 2016, with its inaugural class of 100 sixth graders, only 30 of whom were already at grade level. With a focus on closing the achievement and opportunity gaps among low income families, the 6th thru 12th grade school is part of a nationwide network of 18 groundbreaking and successful single-gender schools.

anchor chain we found the footlong frayed remains of the only line keeping our boat above us.” Sparks’ unmanned 17-foot Seadoo Jetboat had drifted away, along with their emergency position indicating radio beacon, marine radio and cell phones. The divers shot to the surface and looked around frantically for the boat. Sparks caught a glimpse of it as it rode to the top of a wave about three miles away. It was the last time he’d see it that night. “At this point the gravity of our situation really hit me,” said Sparks. “We decided to drop our dive weights because they prevented us from floating properly.” As nightfall began to set in, weather conditions deteriorated, and the pair began to realize that the survival plan they’d made before heading out to sea was now their only hope of anyone knowing something was wrong—or where to look for them. “Before we went out on the dive, we told my roommate, James Sellers, where we were going and when we planned to return,” said Ragsdale. “Sparks sent a group text message to some of our Coast Guard friends at Station Fort Macon where we work. His message included the name of the wreck we were diving on, the wreck number, exact coordinates of our dive, and our intention to return by dark.” As swells began to crash over their heads, the divers were thankful for what they did have with them. Their buoyancy

Sparks and Ragsdale were rescued by the others July 6 after a diving incident where the two were stranded eight miles off Atlantic Beach.
compensators kept them afloat. Their wet suits helped maintain their body temperatures. A safety sausage—a three-foot orange tubular device that could help spot them in the water, along with knives and a high-powered flashlight. “The adrenaline wore off after awhile,” said Ragsdale. “We both clung to that safety sausage in order to stay together. We tried to figure out where we were and if there was a chance we’d be drifting past a buoy we might be able to cling to.” “Even with the water temperature at 81 degrees, we were both starting to feel chilly,” said Sparks. “My greatest fear was that we’d end up drifting southeast rather than northeast, which would send us around Cape Lookout into the Atlantic Ocean. This would greatly
diminish our chances of being located. We just prayed we’d be found or that we’d wind up drifting onto the beach before the cape.” Back on shore, Ragsdale’s roommate Sellers did not hesitate to take action once dark set in and the two had not returned. He recognized the potential severity of the situation and contacted Coast Guard Station Fort Macon. The station’s officer of the day, Petty Officer 3rd Class Cameron Haywood, initiated a Coast Guard response that included a plan to involve multiple boats, cutters, beach patrols and air assets. But back on the water, the divers’ optimism began to fade. “Around midnight, we stopped talking and our hopes of getting rescued before dawn grew faint,”
said Sparks. “We were exhausted. Sometime later I saw the running lights of a Coast Guard 47-foot Motor Lifeboat. I pointed my flashlight toward it. After a bit, I saw their blue light begin to flash. I knew they saw me. It turns out we were three miles away, but they saw my light. It took them ten minutes to get to us.”
It was Petty Officer 2nd Class Tyler McGregor’s crew who spotted Sparks’ light in the distance. “As the coxswain, it’s my responsibility to be as optimistic as possible to keep up the spirit of my crew, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t worried,” said McGregor. “The sea was rough, 8-10 foot swells. Searching for two people
in the water during the day is the equivalent to searching for two coconuts bobbing in the waves—a near impossible feat in the light that becomes unthinkable in the dark.” The Coast Guardsmen were pulled from the water after drifting four and a half miles in seven hours. “As we arrived back at the station I went into the lower compartment of the MLB and saw two body bags down there,” said Sparks. “That really hit me hard. Our friends and coworkers, the same people who’d just rescued us and laughed and joked with us on the way in, had only moments earlier been preparing for the worst-case scenario.” The following morning, Sparks’ boat was located. It drifted all the way to shore and washed up on a local beach, unscathed. “The ocean doesn’t care if you’re in the Coast Guard,” said Sparks. “This kind of thing can happen to anyone. I’m going to invest in an EPIRB I can dive with. I’m going to use two anchors and be more cautious with how I anchor in the future. But I’m happy I had that flashlight on me, and that we filed a float plan. Those two factors drastically reduced the search time, and potentially saved our lives.”
