O’Neill/Sweetwater surf tourney bringing top talent, familiar faces to WB By Terry Lane Staff Writer

From Florida to California to all the way down in Barbados, surfers from around North America will be bringing their skills to Wrightsville Beach this week for the 13th annual O’Neill/Sweetwater Pro-Am Surf Fest. And while the tournament scheduled from Aug. 17 -19 will bring in some of the world’s top surfers, it will also feature a hometown favorite as local professional surfer Ben Bourgeois is among those expected to compete, organizers said. A scheduling change is helping to bring in some of the surfing talent, tournament organizer Brad Beach said, noting that moving the tournament to August help align better with other surf tournaments around the country. “We are getting higher calibur surfers because it is now in August,” Beach said, noting that it had

been scheduled in mid-July until the 2017 contest. “This is one of four East Coast events that several of these surfers will compete in.” Surf tournaments in Virginia Beach, the Outer Banks and New York follow the O’Neill/Sweetwater Pro-Am Surf Fest, giving surfers from California and other areas a better reason to make the trip. California-based surfers Ian Crane, Jake Kelley and Kei Kobayashi are among those expected to compete in the tournament, Beach said. Other surfers expected to compete include John Burke from Barbados, Corey Lopez from Florida, Brett Barley from Hatteras, along with Mason Barnes, Conner Lester and Michael Powell. And while the surf report for the coming weekend doesn’t look strong, Beach noted that there has always been a bit of fortune surrounding the O’Neill/Sweetwater Pro-Am Surf Fest. n See SWEETWATER Page 2

Restaurants going with dock-and-dine, despite demand for boating slips By Allyson Beckman Intern

After refurbishing the restaurant’s docks this winter and spring, the owners of Dockside are employing a business model they said should cater better to groups of boaters out for a day on the water. Despite high demand on Wrightsville Beach for long-term slip leases, the Dockside owners will rely on a “dock and dine”

business model, leaving the slips open for boaters coming by on the Intracoastal Waterway. “I get about eight to ten phone calls a week looking for openings,” said Tripp Brice, Bridge Tender Marina Dockmaster. “There is definitely a shortage of long-term slips available on Wrightsville Beach.” After three years of planning and construction through the fall, however, Dockside opened their new “Dock and Dine” styled

docks finished the last week of May, giving customers the opportunity to dock their boats free of charge to enjoy a meal alongside the Intracoastal Waterway. “Rather than renting out the docks as we have in previous years, we wanted to be able to give customers a place to tie up their boats. Essentially we wanted to be able to flip space,” said Dockside co-owner Lionel n See DINING Page 2

After a meeting on We d n e s d a y b e t w e e n Wrightsville Beach police officials and the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, officers will be “aggressively” enforcing state and county ordinances on Palm Tree Island, the Wrightsville Beach Police Department announced. The announcement comes after residents raised complaints with Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House at a meeting in July, following a raucous Independence Day celebration on the island that’s a popular stop for boaters on Lees Cut and the Intracoastal Waterway. The island, named for its fake palm tree, emerges only during low tides. Residents of Channel Walk, Lees Cut and Shoreline neighborhoods said the drinking, debauchery, profane music, trespassing and public drunkenness was becoming a dangerous nuisance. In its announcement, the Wrightsville Beach police department said that Sheriff’s Office

WB Ocean Rescue featured on Amazon Prime By Catie Dull Intern

Wrightsville Beach residents and viewers around the country are now able to take a peek inside the backbone of local lifeguarding and what it means to attain the title of member of the Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue squad with the recent

release of “Ocean Rescue – Making the Squad” on Amazon Prime Video. The documentary was filmed last year during the weeks leading up to and throughout the rigorous tryouts that take place before each summer season and was released in July of this year. It demonstrates the process of what is takes to become a

Wrightsville Beach lifeguard as it follows the journey of six different candidates as they train for and endure tryouts. The documentary features a returning lifeguard, Philip Davis, and rookie candidates including mother-son duo Calvin and Angela Daughtry and Kyra Demarte. Austin Stewart and Tanner Freeman are also featured n See WBOR Page 2

Wrightsville Beach board discusses options for Banks Channel boat crowding By Dan Bullard Contributing Writer

With environmental hazards and safety at the forefront of concerns raised by residents of the growing number of boats anchored in Banks Channel, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen discussed ways to limit the crowding, though any action likely won’t come until later. Mayor Pro Tem Darryl Mills acknowledged that he had spoken with staff at local marinas and there is assumptive evidence that many vessels are not properly disposing of waste.

Marine Unit would be “aggressively” enforcing the ordinances over the next few weeks. The Lees Cut neighborhood will also hire a sheriff’s deputy to enforce trespassing in the neighborhood, with Wrightsville Beach police assisting when necessary. During the July meeting, House said that Wrightsville Beach police didn’t have enforcement authority on the island, but said he was working with New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon to improve conditions on the island.

“It’s a problem,” he said. “When residents contact town officials, there seems to be no clear information available,” said Alderman Elizabeth King. She added that some of the vessels are too close to the pierhead line, stating her concern for property owners and others navigating the channel. Wrightsville Beach ordinance allows vessels to be moored or anchored in any waters seaward of the pierhead line within the zoning jurisdiction of the town for no longer than 30 days within a 180-day n See ALDERMEN Page 2

period. An amendment was last made to this ordinance in August of 2011. “The current ordinance would be very effective if properly enforced,” said the town’s attorney John Wessell. He said that adopting a daily monetary fine for vessels that extend their stay beyond the 30-day period could also prove beneficial. Town Manager Tim Owens said that, within the last week, the town has increased its enforcement efforts and that has helped in reducing the number of vessels in the channel. Officials are aware that several vessels in the channel are only occupied temporarily and often left vacant. Others are listed for short-term rental through services including Air BnB and VRBO. Placing a ban on these services may become a topic of discussion later, but no immediate changes have been adopted.

Many possible measures were discussed by the board, including hiring an additional park ranger to assist with enforcement of town ordinances, further restrictions on pick up and drop off regulations at Wynn Plaza, and reducing the daily mooring limit. Researching grants available to assist with the creation of clearly marked mooring fields along with the creation of an online and phone registration system was also mentioned. One local resident and business owner who spoke in front of the board suggested that the town consider establishing mooring fields, citing more effective regulation and revenue generation as benefits. Several board members board agreed that there is more to discuss regarding changes to this ordinance and will address resolution while attending their retreat, which usually takes place in February. Other items on the agenda: • Town officials will seek bids to construct a new parking area in front of the Parks and

rookie candidates but serve as members of the Wrightsville Beach Fire Department “Most people don’t realize how difficult it is to make the squad. It’s something you should be proud of,” said Davis. Tryouts for the squad are split between two days. Candidates must first swim a half-mile down the beach, and then complete a one-mile run. They must also perform a mock active rescue, where their victim is drowning but still conscious, and a mock passive rescue, where their victim is unconscious and must be brought up to the beach. Returning guards are required to complete tryouts as well, and rookie candidates are able to take their places should they outperform them. The candidates in the documentary all thrive and struggle in different areas, but each of them exudes determination and drive for making the squad. Described as being raised by Wrightsville Beach, Philip Davis logically saw his next step in life as being a member of the lifeguarding team. Before the making of the documentary, Davis had served as a

Recreation Office Building in addition adopting a resolution allowing resurfacing of the existing parking area. A new parking area will provide 40 spaces, including two handicap accessible spots. By shifting the landscape curbing and islands in the existing lot, an additional 7 spaces will be created. • A resolution was adopted to select McKim & Creed and Highfill Engineering for scheduled sewer projects associated with the town’s 10-year Water and Sewer CIP Projects. • A resolution was adopted approving the purchase of a street sweeper. • A resolution was adopted declaring the Board’s intent to close a portion of South Lumina Avenue adjacent to Bellamy Street and the Carolina Yacht Club property. • A public hearing for the consideration of a conditional use permit application for Adapt Kitchen to open a carryout restaurant at 32 N. Lumina Ave., and an amendment to an existing conditional use permit for Robert’s Grocery Parking to accommodate the new

lifeguard and left the squad, but came back for tryouts this time with a new determination and appreciation for the team. “The Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue Squad is about a lot more than getting a good tan. It has taught me a lot of about teamwork, and it is the best and most rewarding job ever. It is one job you will never forget,” said Davis. Throughout the film, the lifeguarding squad is constantly described as a family and a special community that is unique to Wrightsville Beach. Charlie Ball, the documentary’s director, is a former lifeguard and is able to project that experience through the making of the documentary. Though the film is only a peek into the lives and members of this community, a special bond can be seen among these people. The team had a viewing party for the documentary on August 5th at Waterman’s Brewing, but the 68-minute film can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video and provides a view into a new appreciation for those protecting our lives every day we step foot out onto the beach.

“We’ve always been lucky to have something to compete on,” Beach said of the tournament’s waves. This year’s tournament will also feature a new event, as surfers on “soft top” boards will compete for the first time in their own division. And unlike standard surfing, the soft top category will have a different judging criteria. “These boards will be of all different lengths, but the division will be judged on creativity and who’s having the most fun,” Beach said. “It’s not just going to be who’s ripping off the top and cutbacks. Style and performance are factored in.” Heats will run on Friday and Saturday before the finals on Sunday. The tournament will

be keeping the scoring format it rolled out last year for the professional’s division, which will pit surfers against each other oneon-one, instead of the four-man heats for the qualifying rounds. This year’s tournament will again feature a fan-favorite “Guppy’s” division, as parents get in the water on Saturday to help their kids take on the waves. As in past years, there are several events associated with the tournament for surfing fans. On Friday, August 17, Sweetwater Surf Shop will host a “Shindig” where fans can meet top surfers from the O’Neill surfing team. On Saturday from 4 - 10 p.m. at Wrightsville Beach Park, the O’Neill music and art festival will feature a host of activities, including music from the Blue Footed Boobies.

Yow. By taking this approach, Dockside’s owners are looking to create a continuing flow of customers, which over time they believe will provide a better business opportunity. “We noticed a few times up by Figure Eight how much people enjoyed docking their boats at restaurants with their families. We wanted to buy Dockside to interact with families and to be a part of what we found so neat,” added Connie Yow. The reconstruction not only provides customers with easier access to and from the restaurant’s decks and docks, but ultimately was a reinvestment for the owners of 12 years. Prior to the project, the slips at Dockside had last been repaired in the 1990s after they were damaged during Hurricane Fran in September 1996, said Connie Yow.

“The reinvestment in the rebuilding of our docks will help make sure it is here for another 40 to 50 years,” said the Yows. But just like any major reconstruction project, the Yows dealt with several circumstances throughout their experience, most stemming from poor weather conditions during the offseason. “A lot of things factored into our decision to rebuild the docks, but what kept us on a timeline was mostly the necessity to have it completed during the offseason,” Connie Yow said. But despite a few bumps in the road from adverse weather and difficulty building around the tides, Dockside was successfully able to complete the project during the offseason— Just in time for the onset of warm weather and live music on their newly renovated decks every Wednesday night.

New Hanover County sends out property tax bills

The New Hanover County Tax Department will begin mailing real estate tax bills to property owners later this week. Personal property tax bills will be mailed by the end of August. Property taxes are due on September 1, 2018 but can be paid without interest until January 7, 2019. Property owners who escrow taxes will receive a courtesy notice of their tax bill and are encouraged to verify that their taxes are paid with their mortgage company. New Hanover County residents will see a 1.5 cent tax cut on their bill, which is a tax rate of 55.5 cents per $100, for the 2018-2019 fiscal year. The fire services tax rate for residents in the unincorporated county remains at 7.75 cents per $100. Tax bills also include municipality taxes for residents in the City of Wilmington, and the towns of

Carolina Beach, Kure Beach and Wrightsville Beach. To assist property owners and encourage penalty-free payments, tax bills include four payment coupons that reflect the total amount owed, divided into four equal payments with monthly due dates. “We are always willing to help taxpayers meet their tax obligations, and that is why we offer numerous payment options with a lot of flexibility,” said New Hanover County Tax Administrator Allison Snell. “We just ask that citizens reach out to us before taxes become delinquent and interest begins to accrue on January 8, 2019, so that we can set up alternate payment arrangements for you.” Tax bills can be paid online, by mail, or in the Tax office. For questions or to make payment arrangements, please contact the Tax Department at (910) 7987300 or visit Tax.NHCgov.com

NHRMC Receives Donation from George Caplan Revocable Trust The George Caplan Revocable Trust has donated $343,000 to the New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation to support the needs of patients at NHRMC and the Behavioral Health Hospital.

NHRMC Launches Innovation Center to Find New Ways to Partner and Improve Health A new innovation program will help transform health care in southeastern North Carolina. New Hanover Regional Medical Center is launching the NHRMC Innovation Center to foster and test creative ideas for improving health and wellness. “We are looking at health care in new ways,” said John Gizdic, NHRMC President and CEO. “We are working to make care easier to access, more equitable, and more affordable so everyone has the resources they need to live healthier lives. To do this, we need to collaborate with partners who will help us think differently and try new things.” The NHRMC Innovation Center allows employees and physicians to collaborate with

community partners and thought leaders from various industries in an environment conducive to innovative thinking. The NHRMC Innovation Center is working in partnership with tekMountain, the creative corporate innovation center spawned by Wilmington’s CastleBranch. The partnership will work to strengthen the awareness and adoption of emerging health technology initiatives that are tightly aligned with NHRMC’s strategic initiatives and the health needs of our community. Located at 1844 Sir Tyler Drive, tekMountain is a technologically driven community where entrepreneurs and researchers can work together. The atmosphere is unlike a typical office or

hospital setting. Undefined work spaces, fluid meeting rooms and gathering spaces help stimulate creativity, imagination, and conversations that spark new ideas to push the boundaries of how traditional healthcare is delivered. “When in our traditional work settings, we tend to be focused on the immediate tasks at hand,” said Henry Hawthorne, Administrator of Oncology Services for NHRMC and part of the team that proposed creating an innovation center. “The purpose of the innovation center is to give us the space and structure to look beyond what’s happening today, think about where we would like to be tomorrow, and create a path to get there.”

Surfers pay stings no mind at Wahine Classic by Jana Mackin Contributing Writer

A weekend of thunderstorms, small waves and jellyfish failed to dampen the can-do of the 71 female surfers who competed at the annual Wrightsville Beach Wahine Classic. The competition featured as much skilled competitive surfing as white vinegar and true grit after many girls suffered the stings and arrows of outrageous jellyfish. Time and time again, sting or no sting, they surfed through a series of heats, semifinals and finals throughout the weekend in pro, amateur and teenie wahine categories. This all-female premiere surfing event showcases the beauty and skill of surfing especially for young girls and teenagers getting into competitive surfing for mastery of the sport. “I got stung,” said Callie Hertz, 14, from Wilmington, holding up her arm. “It still hurts a lot. I want to cry,” Hertz said smiling. She placed second in girls U16 shortboard and first place in tandem surfing with Leah Thompson. Thompson, a local surfer and model for Rip Curl, placed in both pro long and shortboard. “The waves are pretty small and short,” Hertz said. “I do the best I know how with these waves.” Over the weekend, hundreds of people cheered and clapped, supporting family members, friends and peers. Throughout the classic, surfers fought stiff competition, small waves and rampant stings through a series of heats and semifinals in various age categories of short and longboard. On Sunday, finals were held in these categories along with the addition of tandem, SUP surf, pro and teenie wahine events. “The waves were pretty challenging because of the small

size,” said Callie Summerlin, 16, from Roanoke. She won first in pro longboard and placed fifth in pro shortboard. “It was good competition.” I was lucky I didn’t get stung,” she said. “One big jellyfish went right past my board. I have never heard of this many girls getting stung, but one of the great things is that all the girls that were getting stung went right back out.” Now in its 21st consecutive year, with the exception of 2012, the classic draws local and regional female surfers from Virginia, North and South Carolina. Throughout the years, participants have ranged from 5 to 64 years old. The Wrightsville Beach Wahine was started to promote physical, mental and emotional well-being among female surfers, encouraging healthy competition, participation and camaraderie in the surfing community. Over the years, it has become a major player in what remains a dearth of all female surfing contests on the East Coast, that include Folly Beach, South Carolina and Jacksonville Beach Florida, said officials. “It promotes and unites,” said Katt Neff, 18, a local surfer and college student who placed in both the pro longboard and

shortboard events. “You take this thing one wave at a time. Every wave is different,” said Neff. “Life comes at you one wave at a time.” For the ten teenie wahines, this event offered fledgling surfers under ten a chance to show off their stuff before family and friends. While some of the little girls were veterans at an early age, some were debuting as surfers with a little surf board push and help from their fathers. “I can surf,” said 6-year-old Nealie Finn Ruttkay. “It makes me feel good.” “It makes me very, very happy,” said McCauley Hoover, 6, from Virginia Beach. Her sister Camden, 11, placed first in the guppies and girls longboard categories. “When I am nervous or sad,” she said, “it makes me very happy.” Throughout the weekend, these Wahine Classic lady surfers competed, powered through rank surfing obstacles and had fun, thumbing their collective surfboards at the jellyfish onslaught. “We had bunches of stings,” said Jo Pickett, event organizer and surf instructor, “but the teenies did great. None of the teenies got stung,” she said.

Annual fishing tournament benefits local charity organization By Dan Bullard Contributing writer

As part of the Southern Kingfish Association 2018 tournament season, 135 boats registered for this year’s S.H.A.R.E. King Mackerel Tournament hosted by Dockside Restaurant Bar and Marina. In its eighth consecutive year, nearly $25,000 was contributed to the local organization it supports. A dinner, raffle, and silent auction was held on Friday evening along with the captain’s meeting before fishing began the following morning. Anglers could fish on Saturday and Sunday, August 11 and 12. While king mackerel was the top prize-winning species, participants could also enter divisions to weigh amberjack and dolphin, in addition to other prizes. An aggregate weight of two king mackerel was the criteria for the top prize of the tournament, taken this year by Team East Coast Sports, captained by Randall Edens. With a aggregate weight of 58.92 lbs., Edens’s team also won the

Small Boat, High Roller, and Mack Daddy divisions. Having senior angler George Edens and junior angler Riggs Edens aboard also helped the team capture the Senior and Junior divisions as well. Other prizes went to Wendy Tillett of Team Windy Conditions for Lady Angler, who also took home the prize for the heaviest dolphin. Team Reel blessed weighed in the heaviest amberjack, while Team Windy Conditions brought home prizes for Lady Angler and the heaviest dolphin. The Scottie2Hottie division was also awarded to Team Windy Conditions for their donation of most fish, of which all was purchased by Atlantic Seafood. Support, Hope, Assist, Reflect, Empower (S.H.A.R.E) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving children and their families who are facing difficult circumstances, serving Brunswick, Columbus, Duplin, New Hanover, Onslow, and Pender counties.
