Surfers in WB for Sweetwater Pro-Am Staff report

Staff report State environmental officials lifted two water quality alerts for Wrightsville Beach on Wednesday, one day after they issues the warnings for Banks Channel locations off Waynick Boulevard. The alerts are for the public access between Snyder and Seashore Street and the public access between Taylor and Bellamy Streets. Subsequent sampling of the sites show that bacteria levels have dropped below the state and Environmental Protection Agency’s standards set for swimming and water play. The alerts affected waters in Banks Channel off Waynick Boulevard in Wrightsville Beach. The first was for the public access between Snyder and Seashore streets; the second was for the public access between Taylor and Bellamy streets. Water samples taken on August 14, showed these sites had exceeded the single-sample maximum standard of 104 enterococci per 100 milliliters of water for a Tier 1 high usage site. Subsequent testing on August 15 showed the bacteria levels are now well below the state and federal standard. Coastal recreational waters in North Carolina are generally clean. However, it is important to continue monitoring them, so the public can be informed of any localized problems. The N.C. Recreational Water Quality Program samples 204 sites in coastal waters of the state.

WB gets first proposals for Small Andrew awarded Cell Telecom Towers Leadership Staff report

The Town of Wrightsville Beach has received the first proposals for new “small cell” telecommunications antennas after the state legislature opened transportation right of ways for telecommunications projects. The proposals from the Fibertech company to the N.C. Department of Transportation would put two of the telecom poles in Wrightsville Beach, one by Causeway Drive by the Heide Trask Drawbridge, and the other across from the Carolina Yacht Club. The poles are about 50 feet tall. A new state law lets the DOT approve small cell poles on rightof-way over objections from municipalities.

Southeastern partnership completes new strategic plan Staff report The board of directors of The Southeastern Partnership has approved a strategic marketing plan that will guide the regional economic development organization’s work during the coming three years. The nine-page strategy outlines direct marketing, product development, research and technology activities, collaborative engagement, regional advocacy and more. “The plan is pretty specific about what we need to do,” says Chuck Horne, a Southeastern Partnership board member who chaired the 15-member committee that drafted the plan. Like the previous plan, the strategy quantifies results the board is seeking from now through mid-2020: • Encourage the arrival of 18 or more new companies to the region; • Support the creation of at least 1,080 new jobs; and • Attract at least $540 million in private capital investment. “We set some lofty but attainable goals,” says Horne, an Anson County businessman. “The Southeast Region has had

great success over the last three years, and we want to build on that.” Since launching its first three-year plan in 2014, the organization has expanded its membership to include a total of 18 counties. Most recently, Craven, Lenoir and Moore counties have joined the partnership, expanding its marketing region. Its inventory of economic assets has similarly grown. Today, the region’s workforce numbers nearly 750,000, its highway network encompasses seven interstates, and its geography includes all of North Carolina’s major military bases. “We’ve increased our scale during the last three years, and that means there are more assets to market and more partners we can collaborate and share resources with,” explains Jeff Etheridge, chairman of The Southeastern Partnership. “It also means expectations are higher. This strategic marketing plan reflects all these new realities.” The Southeast’s new plan calls on the organization and its partners to bring at least 270 qualified business leads into region’s orbit, generate 126 unique visits to the region by clients and

make 1,080 recommendations for possible sites and buildings. It will accomplish this through programs that include outreach to site-selection consultants, networking with industrial realtors, targeted email campaigns to businesses that are a good fit for the region, and participation at industry trade shows and special events. The partnership will continue to play a visible advocacy role as the region improves economic infrastructure, creates shovel-ready industrial sites and buildings, and improves business amenities such as workforce development programs and project financing resources. The organization intends to maintain its close collaborative links to the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina (EDPNC), the N.C. Department of Commerce, private allies, public partners and member counties. “Collaboration is engrained in all our programs and all our planning,” says Steve Yost, president of The Southeastern Partnership. The 2017-2020 strategy, for example, calls on the region to work more closely with its growing healthcare sector to identify opportunities for synergy. “Our excellent hospitals and healthcare networks are a formidable economic development asset for us in terms of what they mean to our region’s quality of life and economic growth,” says Yost. “They are also a powerful job creation engine in their own right, and we should coordinate our respective visions in ways that integrate their presence into the region’s overall economic development landscape.”

Fashion Show Benefits Arts Programs for At-Risk Children Staff report

• Blaine Stowe was charged with assault on a Female.

Wilmington

“Fashion is a multi-disciplinary art, bringing together the designs of clothing, accessories, jewelry, and all the elements that come into an ensemble,” said Matt Carvin, Executive Director of DREAMS of Wilmington, a nonprofit after-school arts program for at-risk children. “We have different classes that collaborate and help our students put the pieces together.” On Wednesday, September 27, DREAMS students will share the stage and incorporate their original fashion designs into the DREAMing of Fall Fashion Show and Luncheon, presented by Elle, with all proceeds benefiting DREAMS of Wilmington. “We’re just really excited. Two of our students have been into fashion design for some time and will showcase some of the clothing they created,” said Carvin. “The most exciting thing about a fundraiser like this is that it involves our kids, letting people see their talent.” Fashion show tickets include a special luncheon and dream cocktail at East Oceanfront Dining, located at Blockade Runner Beach Resort, host site for the benefit. WWAY-TV’s Good Morning Carolina anchor, Randy Aldridge, will emcee the show. Seating is limited, and tickets are $75.00 per person. “Along with the original designs by the children, Elle will showcase fall fashions from our unique lifestyle and designer brands,” said Alycia James, co-owner of the boutique with daughter Gabrielle Dorn. “We are dedicated to celebrating the individuality of women, and you will see this on full display with clothing, shoes, and accessories for fall.” Celebrating their 20th Anniversary in November, DREAMS of Wilmington has an impressive track record. “Since our founding, 99-percent of the children attending programs at the center graduated from high school, and went on to attend college or serve in the military,” said Carvin. “In 2007, DREAMS

of Wilmington received the highest award for at-risk after schools programming from the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities.” “What we see without quality after-school arts programming for these kids is a higher rate of high school dropouts, increased teen pregnancy, youth violence, and youth drug use,” said Carvin. “Wilmington’s north side has struggled with those challenges

for years, but organizations like DREAMS and others, like the Community Boys and Girls Club, have done a lot to change that.” This year, DREAMS of Wilmington is serving about 700 children in their after-school center and outreach programs covering the full spectrum of arts experiences. “One day I would love to see a DREAMS Center in every town,” said Carvin.

Editorial/Opinion Have your voice heard

ot 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.

Heat, Humidity and Storms Have Minor Impact on Catching By Skylar Walters

The past couple of weeks have seen an influx of thunderstorms in our area bringing torrential rains as well as some dangerous lightning, which no doubt is having an impact on area anglers. Water temperatures remain in the mid to lower eighty degree range and with the area rains, have become stained and muddy, which is also having some effect. Add to that some astronomical tides and the fishing conditions have just not been very pleasing for catching fish. But with all of that said, the area fishermen are having some success, both inshore and offshore when they can get there. Hopefully the trend of storms will subside in the coming weeks, although there’s still plenty being forecast for the foreseeable future, which is to be expected for this time of year. Inshore, the red drum fishing has been pretty outstanding with most anglers having better luck by using cut bait instead of live bait. Finger mullet are extremely plentiful, thus the red drum are not having much interest in fishermen using them, but when some cut bait, which has much more scent is being used, the success rate of hookups has increased. Flounder fishing has also shown some increases with live minnows working and the larger scented artificial also producing some significant catches. The area docks are holding lots of drum, with some over slot fish still being caught around the jetties at Masonboro Inlet. The larger flounder are being reported coming from the areas of the lower Cape Fear River and areas around Carolina Beach. Wrightsville Beach waters are also holding some flounder, but anglers have to week through quite a few before finding a keeper. Inshore anglers are also reporting some good catches of black drum on both live shrimp and cut bait in the creeks and around the dock and bridge pilings. The jetties around the inlet are also producing some decent

catches when the tides not running hard. Those targeting sheepshead are also having luck around the dock and bridge pilings by using one arm bandits, barnacles and sea urchins. Off the beach, anglers fishing by boat have had to brave the fishable but choppy waters recently, as the southerly winds continue to cause those fishing from smaller boats to stay in port. Spanish mackerel fishing is consistent in water depths between twenty five and thirty five feet. Fishing at first light or shortly thereafter, trolling light weights with small Clark Spoons are working but once the sun gets up and temperatures start rising, a change of tactics to small planers is needed to get the fish to bite. Live baiters fishing for king mackerel still haven’t found the fish along the beach, even with the abundance of bait balls. Kings have been reported in the ten mile range, with lots of small fish still being mixed in. Better fishing with better quality fish is being reported in the fifteen to twenty mile range. Some inshore dolphin have been reported as close as eight miles, with more consistent encounters beyond fifteen miles out. Bottom fishing for grouper is best for the reds and scamps in water depths around one hundred and twenty feet. Vermillion snapper are also being found in the same areas and can normally be found suspended about ten to fifteen feet above the bottom. Triggerfish can also be caught in the same locations with the larger fish coming from water depths around one hundred and forty feet. Gulf Stream fishermen have reported some pretty decent action from wahoo around the Same Ole Hole and Swansboro Hole the past couple of weeks. Water temperatures are very warm so finding any sort of temperature variation or floating debris will normally hold some fish in the area.
