Board stabbed in dispute between angler, surfer By Terry Lane Staff Writer

A surfboard was all that got in between the knife of an angry fisherman and the surfer he believed had cut his line, as Wrightsville Beach police charged Jeffrey Brian Caithness, 35, with assault with a deadly weapon, damage to personal property and other offenses after a Friday, August 3 confrontation near the Crystal Pier. Shortly after 3 p.m., Caithness began arguing with a surfer who was paddling north around Crystal Pier, who he said was too close to the fishing lines being cast from the end of the pier on the Wrightsville Beach south end. At one point, a fisherman threw a

line that wrapped around the leash of the 30-yearold surfer, as the surfer and Caithness continued to exchange words, Wrightsville Beach police said. Once the surfer paddled to shore, Caithness came down from the pier and continued arguing with the surfer before producing a knife and then twice stabbing the board the surfer was holding between his arm and his body. Wrightsville Beach Police Captain. J. Bishop said that while it appeared that Caithness intentionally stabbed the surfer’s board, it wasn’t clear if the fisherman was trying to stab the surfer. Caithness was arrested and taken to the New n See POLICE Page 2

Banks Channel boats, rentals to be discussed by town board By Terry Lane Staff Writer

After concerns raised by some residents, including a town board member, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen on Thursday will discuss options to enforce the 30-day time limit on anchoring in Banks Channel. Alderman Elizabeth King raised the concerns at the July 10 board of aldermen meeting, citing concerns over crowding other other issues with boats that she said may be moored longer than the town’s 30-day limit. “It’s grown from three to four boats to more than 15,” King said, noting the increased popularity of

the town’s water for boaters. King said it appeared some of the boats were mostly unoccupied, serving as vacation homes for some boaters, and that other were being rented for short-term lodging on sites like Air BnB and VRBO. “When the winds are out of the west, they drag close to the piers,” King said. Town Manager Tim Owens said they were monitoring the boats and have gotten some to move from their moorings after 30 days. However, there were questions raised at the meeting over whether town officials had to observe the boats for each of the 30 days to effectively enforce the law. n See BANKS Page 2

Sister duo part of weekend allwomen Wahine surf tournament By Jana Mackin Contributing Writer

A dynamic duo of surfing sisters hope to shred some waves when they strut their short board stuff at a premier East Coast lady

surfers competition this weekend. Local surfers Julia and Alaina Boos will will compete at the Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic this weekend in an event that showcases the surfing skills, choreography, talent and beauty

of ladies surfing, especially for young girls and teenagers looking to compete and master the sport. “I like that you don't have to go up against a bunch of boys,” said Julia, 13, who regularly competes at Eastern Surfing Association contests and has placed in the finals twice at the Classic. “The girls compete in different age groups. It's a more level playing field.” Both sisters have been surfing since they were in water wings, competing annually at the classic, which will be held August 10-12 at Beach Access no. 38, just north of Crystal Pier. Surfing starts at 8 a.m. The event is open to lady surfers of all ages, including amateurs. professionals and teenie wahines competing in short board, long board, tandem, pro and sup categories. They will be among more than 70 entries with girls being able to enter multiple events. Participants are coming from Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina to compete in the classic now in its 21st consecutive year except for 2012. As an all-female competition, the classic focuses on promoting physical, mental and emotional wellness among girls and women through surfing, and being part of supportive surfing community, said Jo Pickett, event organizer.

Wrightsville Beach Coast Guard station mourns loss of four-legged mascot By Hannah Leyva Contributing Writer

Over the weekend, the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Wrightsville Beach lost an important member of its crew. Since 2007, tours of the station have included more than boats and dedicated crew members. Kale, a faithful, friendly yellow lab, was there to greet visitors both young and young at heart. As the station’s mascot, Kale was there not just to make guests smile, but was an integral part of

Historian create new surf legend, preserve WB spot as East Coast surfing birthplace By Terry Lane Staff Writer

While the mystery behind the identity of an century-old New Jersey surfer may never truly be solved, a surf historian said that the historical debate behind the so-called “Sandwich Island Girl” has ended, creating a new legend in the process and securing Wrightsville Beach’s place as the birthplace of East Coast surfing. The discovery nearly two decades ago of a wood-cut

illustration nearly that ran in a New Jersey newspaper in 1888 raised questions about whether Wrightsville Beach’s surfing in 1909 was the first on the East Coast. However, Joseph “Skipper” Funderburg, Executive vice president of the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, said that after extensive research, historians will never be able to verify the identity of the mysterious surfer. But while it may never be known if she was real, the

mysterious woman is about to be named, thus creating a new legend for Asbury Park, N.J. surf community, Funderburg said. “We’re never going to figure it out,” said Funderburg. “She is fiction now, so we’re turning her into a legend.” While historians weren’t able to discover the woman’s identity, they were able to give her a name, as Funderburg revealed the woman from the wood-cut will now be known as “Mamala.”

Lane Marshburn, the station’s officer in charge. “He would make the rounds in the morning when the crew came in, and when he was younger, he would sometimes come along on patrol.” The canine also formed bonds with crew members’ families. “The kids absolutely loved him,” Marshburn said. “They would come over during the weekends and swim and play with him.

Funderburg said that Asbury Park shops and attractions will use the image and name Mamala as part of its marketing efforts. Funderburg said Mamala was a known Hawaiian female surfer from antiquity, having surfed five of the state’s most recognizable breaks. However, since she wasn’t of Hawaiian royalty, her name was free to use to create the newfound legend. The declaration also keeps Wrightsville Beach’s name safe as the birthplace of East Coast surfing, as the discovery of the wood-cut image first raised questions about whether it was

actually Asbury Park. Burke Haywood Bridgers and a few of his friends conducted the first surfing on the East Coast in Wrightsville Beach around 1909, historians have found. The event was commemorated in 2015 with the installation of a marker at the corner of Waynick Boulevard and Bridgers Street, near where Bridgers is believed to have surfed his first waves. The account was confirmed by Funderburg after he discovered an April 2, 1910, edition of the Pacific Commercial Advertiser, where Bridgers wrote to a friend in Hawaii asking for tips on wave riding, a sport he had tried for the first time at Wrightsville Beach the previous summer.

Kale was buried at the station next to his predecessor, St. Nick. Marshburn said a headstone will eventually be installed, and there could be a memorial service in the near future. As for his successor, there are currently no plans to get another mascot just yet. “We’re all still feeling the loss,” Marshburn said, adding that there has been an outpouring of condolences via the station’s Facebook page. “I didn’t realize the interest there was in Kale and how many kids he made happy.”

in a friendly, competitive environment that showcases and encourages the girls' talents and skills. “The girls have so much fun,” said Jo Pickett, director of the Crystal South Surf Camp. “When the girls get an early start, they learn about the ocean. They learn about themselves in all situations the ocean presents which then translates into their more tumultuous years. They have a foundation. They connect with the ocean.” For the Boos' sisters, surfing is not just a sport but a shared family activity with their parents. Their newest sister, Elle, who will be three next week, is already enjoying her boogie board as part of this surfing family living in Carolina Beach. “We are surfers ourselves, so it is so much fun to pass our love of the waves to our kids,” said parents Carrie and Jim. “Surfing has given the girls a healthy confidence that has carried over into their daily lives.” This weekend, the Wahine Classic should offer the Boos a chance for some sisterly surfing show off, competition, camaraderie and family fun. “We get a little competitive,” said Alaina, 11.”When we were younger, we would catch a wave and hold hands. We would make up tricks. It's a lot of fun.”

One boat owner who rents on AirBnB said he would attend the meeting to see if there was a way to establish the rentals as a service in the town. Zach Toleman, wbo operates three boats on AirBnB in Banks Channel and stays on a fourth boat, said that he observes all boating rules, including dumping waste at the Sea Path Marina. He said most of the problems in Banks Channel stem from two boats whose owners don’t stay on them. “I often have to go out there and re-anchor those boats,” said Toleman, who said he did it to try to help protect the dock owners. “My boats never drag. I make sure everything is fine.” Toleman said that the AirBnB service in Banks Channel has been a success, as he has served more than 120 people this summer. AirBnB also automatically collects the county’s room occupancy tax, he noted. “Everyone I’ve talked to think it’s great,” he said. “It’s new so there is some resistance. I just think they don’t really understand what is going on.” Toleman said he wanted to create a dialogue with town leaders and perhaps propose a permit system for short-term boat rentals in Wrightsville Beach. “I’m crossing my T’s and dotting my I’s,” he said.

Officials exchange invitations with Chemorus to address ongoing GenX concerns In an effort to address ongoing concerns regarding the Chemorus Fayetteville Works plant and the release of GenX and other compounds into the local water supply, a series of letters was exchanged last month by local government officials and representatives of the company. On July 19, City of Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo and New Hanover County Commission Chairman Woody White sent a joint letter to Chemorus requesting a public meeting. On Friday, August 3, Chemorus denied that request. In their request dated July 11, Saffo and White highlighted their concern with water quality in the lower Cape Fear River. While expressing their desire to continue dialogue and outreach to Chemorus officials regarding the company’s efforts to remove GenX and related per-fluorinated compounds from the river, an opportunity was presented by

the government leaders to discuss progress made and future strategies to clean up the drinking water supply including direct involvement from area citizens at the meeting. Chemorus Product Sustainability Director Kathleen O’Keefe responded on July 26, inviting Saffo and White to tour the Fayetteville Works facility as representatives of constituents, stating that such a visit would provide a valuable opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue about the company’s current progress and future plans. Chemorus has offered tours to other regional and state officials previously. Citing a target goal of 99-percent reduction of GenX and other PFAS chemical compound emissions into the air and water, through plans submitted to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Chemorus claims to have taken

numerous steps and made significant progress in its emission reduction efforts. This includes $100 million in investments to at the Fayetteville Works plant, which include the installation of specialized state-of-the-art emission control technology, making the site a best-in-class chemical manufacturing facility for air and wastewater emission control. A joint statement was issued on Monday, August 6 by Mayor Saffo and Chairman White regarding the Chemorus response and expressing disappointment. “We still believe that it is important for Chemours officials to come to the Lower Cape Fear Region to share with our citizens what is being done to rid our water supply of these harmful compounds and to answer questions directly from our citizens on this very important matter,” said the leaders in their joint statement.

NCCAA to host forum concerning state’s ongoing opioid epidemic WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH RESIDENTS We need your input! The Town of Wrightsville Beach is currently updating its Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan. A vital part of the master planning process is to gather information from residents through a parks and recreation needs assessment survey. Therefore, we’re asking for your help in our effort to provide the most desired and economically feasible recreational opportunities for your community. Your response to the recreational needs survey will be used to develop the 2019 – 2024 Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan for the Town of Wrightsville Beach. An approved master plan not only serves as a guide to program planning and facility development, but also provides supporting documentation when grant-funding opportunities become available to match local funding sources. You may pick up a hard copy of the survey anytime Monday through Friday, between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at Town Hall or in the Park Office. If you prefer, you may complete the survey online at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3Q928XC or you may go to the Town’s website and on the homepage, click on the survey option. It only takes a few moments to complete. We will continue to collect the completed surveys through October 5, 2018.
