Wahine Classic returns this weekend Staff report One weekend per year, the boys step aside, and surfer girls of all ages take center stage at the Open to newbies, amateurs, or professionals from around the globe, the annual classic returns Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic this weekend. “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 get to know each other and learn from each other in a supportive environment.” 2017 competition includes the Shortboard Divisions for guppies, girls, junior women, women, open, and pro; Longboard Divisions for girls, junior women, women, and pro; plus the Teenie Wahine, Tandem Longboard, and SUP Surf Divisions. Division winners will receive prizes contributed by

“To Drill or Not to Drill” is the title of a forum that will be held at the Wilson Center on Tuesday, October 17th. The event is being co-hosted by Cape Fear Community College, University of North Carolina Wilmington and Cape Fear Realtors®. The purpose of the forum is to build community through education on important issues, while modeling civility. “We’ve watched as political tribalism has taken hold of the public discussion,” said President Neal Johnson at a public announcement that took place today. Flanked by Mayor Bill Saffo, a supporter of the effort, UNCW Chancellor Jose Sartarelli, and CFCC President Amanda Lee, he continued, “The Public Square is our collaborative effort to turn the tide, beginning locally, to build respect.” “When the Realtors first approached me about this concept last year, I immediately saw The Public Square’s potential to help us reshape our local dialogue,” said CFCC President Amanda Lee. “Cape Fear Community College is proud to be able to host events that provide unique educational opportunities for our students and for our community. We want our students to think for themselves and to learn how to tackle the hard issues with grace and civility. The Public Square’s

New Hanover students recount Alaska
backcountry adventure Staff report Nine Wilmington high school students just returned from a 21-day trip to the Alaskan backcountry that was coordinated through the National Center for Outdoor & Adventure Education. There for a program with the National Parks Service, the students worked to restore a historic mining site and clear paths for park visitors at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, before heading toward that portion of the trip that will be most memorable for all: traversing glaciers. “Alaska was utterly astounding. The mountains and glaciers were chiseled to perfection. I never wanted to leave my Alaskan wonderland,” said student

New state record gag grouper is certified Staff report MOREHEAD CITY — The N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries has certified a new state record for gag grouper. Breece Gahl reeled in the 47-pound, 6-ounce fish May 20 while fishing in the Atlantic Ocean 30 miles off Wrightsville Beach. The fish measured 48 inches total length (from the tip of the nose to the tip of the tail) and had a girth of 26 inches. The former state record for gag grouper was 46 pounds. It was caught off the coast of Ocean Isle in 2011. The world record for gag grouper is 80 pounds, 6 ounces. That fish was caught off the coast of Destin, Fla. In 1993. Gahl caught his fish using cigar minnows for bait on 120-pound braided line test.

local, national, and international businesses. A cash prize is provided in the Pro Divisions. Activities begin on Friday, Aug. 11, with registration pickup and “a meet, greet, eat, and surf evening for competitors and their families at South End Surf Shop,” said Pickett. 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.” ISA certified Bradley Rose and Steven Mangiacapre will serve as
Head Judges, assisted by Judges Eric Knight, Jed Jeffries, Dylan Stone, and John Sideris. Longtime Wahine Classic supporter Blockade Runner Beach Resort will serve as the host hotel. “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).

New Hanover Regional Medical Center EMS Receives National Accreditation New Hanover Regional Medical Center Emergency Medical Services has received accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) for its compliance with national standards of
excellence. This achievement places NHRMC EMS in the top one percent of EMS systems in the country. “We are exceptionally proud of the hard work our men and women have put into the accreditation process. This is a testament to the expertise, dedication and drive of the paramedics and advanced EMTs who make our EMS system one of the best in the country,” said Rick O’Donnell, director and chief of NHRMC EMS. “We are firmly committed to our patients and the community and we will continue to strive to provide excellent, high-quality care to everyone we serve.” CAAS is a non-profit organization established to encourage and promote best practices in the EMS industry. The primary focus of the Commission’s standards is high-quality patient care. This is accomplished by not only addressing the delivery of patient care, but also the ambulance service’s total operation and its relationships with other agencies, the general public, and the medical community. The Commission’s standards often exceed state or local licensing requirements. “I applaud our EMS teams for achieving another exceptional accolade,” said NHRMC Vice President of Regional and Specialty Services David Parks. “From being named the top EMS system in the country to voluntarily completing the rigorous CAAS accreditation process, our team has shown incredible dedication to providing high-quality care to our patients.”

Editorial/Opinion County Manager’s Message By Chris Coudriet New Hanover County Manager
Lower Property Taxes Among County Budget Highlights New Hanover County started a new fiscal year on July 1. With that start comes an adopted general fund budget of $329.4 million and a continued focus on the county’s strategic priorities. The adopted budget is a 4.2 percent increase over the FY17 adopted budget, and — by using money the county has effectively saved over the years — includes the first real property tax cut for county residents in 14 years. The tax rate will decrease by 8.5 percent, cutting property taxes by 2.36 percent. For the fourth consecutive year, the county has also reduced the landfill tip fee from $50 to $48, while continuing to provide innovative services and programs. Below are several funding initiatives in this year’s budget I feel are worth highlighting.
Public Education
Publicly supported education is, perhaps, the most critical component of our community’s long-term success. The adopted budget shows the county’s commitment to ensuring superior public education in the classroom and educational facilities by: • Increasing county funding to the New Hanover County school district for the fifth year in a row, raising funding to $2,700 per student, which is above and beyond state and federal funding levels. The county also funds all public school facilities and new construction. In fiscal year 2018, funding to the schools will increase more than $2.3 million for a total of $100.3 million, inclusive of debt. • Funding pre-K expansion to add 45 new openings — the equivalent of three classrooms — for three- and four-year-olds, giving them a structured learning environment and preparing them for kindergarten. • Continuing to support Cape Fear Community College by funding the operations and maintenance of facilities — including three new emerging technology buildings that opened June 29 — for a total of $28.2 million, inclusive of debt.
Public Safety & Emergency Response
The adopted budget moves the county’s strategic
goal of superior public safety forward in a number of areas by: • Increasing funding to the sheriff’s office for youth intervention and gang prevention initiatives, a crime specialist to work in collaboration with the Wilmington Police Department, and additional mental health resources at the county jail. • Providing additional funding to the LINC, Inc. jail diversion program after a successful, smallscale pilot program and national recognition for its innovation. The program will expand to assist 20 men and 20 women, redirecting them from the criminal justice system to community-based treatment and wrap-around support. • Initiating a Quick Response pilot program through the county’s Fire Rescue, which will help decrease response times by having trained responders in vehicles located in target areas during peak times to respond to medical calls. To help fund programs like this, county residents outside of the city limits will see a Fire Services District rate increase this fiscal year.
Public Health & Quality Of Life
The county is committed to the health of our community, and to enhancing the quality of life for residents. Several initiatives in the adopted budget help to facilitate this goal, including: • Constructing a Health and Human Services Building that will bring the Health Department and the Department of Social Services under one roof, to improve efficiencies and enhance the customer experience, funded by New Hanover Regional Medical Center. • Developing a bike and multi-use path along Military Cutoff Extension to provide safe connectivity for residents and ensure an alternate form of transportation when the extension opens. • Purchasing land on Pages Creek that will provide parking and easier water access for paddle boards and kayaks, adjacent to an existing countyowned property that has been largely underused because of access challenges.

Hook, Line & Sinker Despite Typical Summertime Pattern Anglers Still Managing Decent Catches By Skylar Walters
The month of August is known for some of the worst weather our area experiences in terms of heat and humidity, which normally has an impact on both the fish and anglers alike. So far however, the second week of August has been fairly pleasurable as far as the temperatures go, but the typical summertime scattered to numerous thunderstorms have been more frequent than normal and this week is no exception. Water temperatures remain in the mid to lower eighties, which normally creates a little bit of a slow down as far as catching, but so far anglers are having some very good success with putting some fish in the cooler or just playing catch and release. Inshore fishing has been producing very good, with a variety of species being caught depending on what species anglers are targeting. Red drum are being caught around the docks in the channels and along the waterway as well as creek mouths and around oyster beds. Both natural baits, such as live finger mullet and cut bait are producing good results as are the scented artificial baits. Most of the fish being caught in these locations are in the slot limit but if you want something a tad larger, try soaking some cut bait near the inlets. Over slot reds have been giving anglers some catch and release action for the past few weeks. Sheepshead fishing has been on fire for those who have the patience and know how to fool these elusive bait stealers. Fishing around the pilings of bridges and docks with small but stout hooks rigged on short Carolina Rigs tipped with one arm bandits or barnacles will normally draw some interest. Tackle should also consist of fairly stout rods and reels filled with braid to help pull the fish from the pilings and help alleviate the abrasiveness of the

barnacles should the fish wrap you up. Flounder fishing has also been producing well around the docks and deeper creeks with live minnows fished on Carolina Rigs being hard to beat but the larger soft artificial baits have also been pretty good for some anglers. While there are some keeper fish being found around the Wrightsville Beach waters, the larger fish are coming from the Cape Fear River where anglers are also fishing some decent speckled trout fishing. Along the surf, anglers fishing with cut shrimp are catching the typical summertime variety of virginia mullet, black drum and croakers. Those fishing with sand fleas are finding some larger virginia mullet in the sloughs and deeper holes. Cut bait and minnows are tricking a few red drum and flounder. Spanish mackerel fishing continues to be fairly strong for those trolling Clark Spoons just off the beach. Early mornings are producing best in water depths starting around 25 feet with the fish moving to deeper water by mid-morning. Anglers using small planers are finding some fish in 40 to 50 feet depths as the sun gets up and the heat of the day increases. King mackerel still haven’t made a showing along the beach despite the abundance of baitfish being around. Most action from kings has been coming from areas starting around five to eight miles, with a lot of smaller fish still being reported. Larger fish are coming from areas beyond ten miles out to around twenty. Both live and dead baits being slow trolled have been working with structure and pods of baitfish being needed in order to hold fish in the area. Some inshore dolphin have also been reported as close as eight miles out.
