SC surfers take top spots at pro am surf fest By Terry Lane Staff Writer

South Carolina surfers took the podiums at Wrightsville Beach’s O’Neill Sweetwater Pro Am Surf Fest last weekend, with the men’s champion earning his second title in the local surf contest. Luke Gordon, of Isle of Palms, S.C., also won the three-day surf contest in 2015, when he was just 15 years old. Last year’s winner, Rob Kelly of Ocean

CIty, N.J., and the 2016 winner, Cam Richards of Garden City, S.C., tied for third place. Gordon won a $5,000 check for the win, part of the contest’s $20,000 purse. “The O’Neill Sweetwater Pro Am Surf Fest in Wrightsville Beach is always highly anticipated and this year was no exception,” said Brad Beach, event manager and co-founder. “The surf was small but contestable.

Wrightsville Beach considering approval of beach gear rental businesses By Terry Lane Staff Writer

After approved last month by the Wrightsville Beach Planning Board, the town’s board of aldermen could pave the way for more services that can deliver chairs, umbrellas and other beach supplies to renters. On August 7, the planning board approved changes to the town ordinance that would allow rental services to deliver beach supplies to sites on the beach strand. The plannings board approval of the ordinance change comes after the town’s planning staff recommended the board reject the changes, raising concerns that the change will open up the beach strand to multiple vendors renting various equipment. The change comes after a beach equipment rental

business, Cape Fear Beach Rentals, petitioned the town for the change. “There’s a demand for these type of services,” owner Ben Rhodes told the board. “It’s been well received.” Rhodes said the business would drop off beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, coolers, towels and other equipment, where staff would set them up on the beach for the renters. At day’s end, staff would come collect the equipment and not leave it there overnight. The business would operate from a location in Wilmington and take the equipment to the client’s location. Rhodes said the business would not operate a cart or kiosk on the beach. While the fire department expressed concerns about vehicles blocking fire lanes, Rhodes said that the set up would be quick and not require vehicles to block n See RENTALS Page 2

After the Town of Wrightsville Beach won a court battle this week against a jet ski rental business it said was operating outside of zoning restrictions, the town manager said it could take action against other businesses for the same violations. On Tuesday, a New Hanover County judge ruled that Chris Mangum, the former owner of Wrightsville Beach Jet Ski Rentals, was in contempt of court after town officials testified that he continued to operate the business on public land in Wrightsville Beach, despite not having a physical presence in the town. The ruling comes after several years of dispute between Mangum and the town, which issued him several citation for performing business operations on public land. While Mangum said he collected payments and took calls at a location in Wilmington over the drawbridge, town officials said he was still performing operational tasks from a location underneath the overpass. On Tuesday, Town Manager Tim Owens, the town’s park ranger, and n See JET SKI Page 2

Surfers Healing has kids, volunteers ‘smiling all day’ By Elly Colwell Contributing Writer

Courage, triumph, fear and glee were all mixed in the waves this week on Wrightsville Beach as kids who have often been told they’re “different” were able to come together and experience surfing in a safe environment. Surfers Healing, a traveling surf camp that supports kids with autism, made their annual trip to Wrightsville Beach and brought a team of experienced surfers from across the globe to hug, paddle with, carry, fist bump and encourage the kids on Monday and Tuesday. In addition, the beach was swarming with local volunteers who came out to support in a multitude of ways. “It’s really just amazing the way the organization takes care of everything,” said Gina Martin, a first time volunteer with Surfers Healing. “There are the instructors out there who are solely responsible for the child, and when they come up here to the shore, I jump in to grab the

Local football teammates earn invites to compete on the national stage By Dan Bullard Contributing Writer

After an unbeaten season and winning the county championship with their Noble Middle School football squad last year, a pair of standout local players, including one from Wrightsville Beach, were selected to test their skills among the nation’s top football players at two events this summer. Quarterback Aliam Appler, a Wrightsville Beach resident, and running back/wide-receiver Xavier Terrell traveled to Canton, home to the National Football League’s Hall of Fame, for the US National Football team’s Middle School Bowl Game series. Participating in drills and practice throughout the week led to their performance as part of the 14-and-under Stars team at the Tom Benson Hall of Fame

Stadium. While splitting time with their teammates, Appler and Terrell’s efforts attributed to 20 of the team’s 22 points scored in the contest. Appler threw for 171yards passing and 2 touchdowns, while Terrell ran for 88-yards, 1 touchdown, and a 2-point conversion. On one play, Terrell broke several tackles and sprinted for 66-yards, a great way to celebrate his birthday. “Having the opportunity to compete with players from around the country was a great experience,” said Terrell, who also plays at the safety position on the defensive side of the ball for the Noble Eagles. “Being in that environment just makes me want to work harder and strive to get better.” During the last week of July, the pair was invited back to Canton for the Pro Football Hall of Fame

8th-Grade All-American game during Enshrinement Week. After sharpening their skills in practice, touring the NFL Hall of Fame, and attending the NFL pre-season opener, the players participated in an East versus West matchup to close out the trip. Appler recorded 144-yards passing and 2 touchdowns. Terrell did not see any touches on the offensive side of the ball, he did log some time at the safety position on defense. “Playing in the Hall of Fame stadium and then being invited to go back to Canton and watch the NFL game were my favorite,” said Appler. Both Appler and Terrell are excited about the upcoming season, and look to help their Noble Eagles extend their winning streak when they take on Trask Middle School on September 15.

The Rodriguez family, traveling in from Camp Lejeune, with their two sons Anthony, 6, and Michael, 3, came out last year for the event. Originally from Los Angeles, the family was first stationed in North Carolina three years ago. Six months into their time here, they were told that Anthony had been diagnosed with Autism, and later Michael began showing signs of sensory overload and developmental delays. “Last year, I had Michael put on the vest and he freaked out. The combination of wet and dry was too much for him,” said Arianna Rodriguez, the boys’ mother. “This year, his dad is here and he can convince him to do anything.” Arianna and her husband, Fred Rodriguez, stood on the beach cheering and filming as their two sons surfed, sometimes even on the same wave. The youngest, Michael, was hesitant to even put his feet on the board because of the sensation on his toes, said Arianna Rodriguez. Over the course of the session, Michael was carried riding waves and eventually stood his bare feet on the board, feeling the full power of riding the wave. “It’s incredible to watch,” Fred Rodriguez said. “You see the moment changing their life once they experience the wave.” The Rodriguez family was among the many other military families who had a special welcome on Tuesday. As they look forward to the future, Rodriguez expressed gratitude to Surfers Healing and a dedication to continue to participate in future years. “We’re lifers,” Rodriguez said. “Next year we’ll be stationed in South Carolina, and we’ll be going to Surfers Healing when they come there.”

a police official testified that Mangum was still operating the business, despite signing a consent decree agreeing not to operate on the public area by the Wrightsville Beach Boat Ramp. The judge issued Mangum a $2,500 fine and ordered him to pay $1,000 in court costs, Owens said, with a 30-day deadline for payment that will result in jail time if unmet. The contempt of court ruling follows more than two years of dispute between the business and the town. In a May presentation to the town, Mangum said he had received eight citation in 2015 and another 14 in 2016. During that period, town officials said that Mangum would launch the jet skis from underneath the bridge, where there is less traffic than the nearby boat ramp. Earlier this year, Mangum agreed to settle more than $2,900 in citations on the condition that he not operate the business from public grounds, with the Owens said that while Mangum had agreed to stop running the business from under the bridge, town officials found he was still conducting operations from the spot, despite launching the jet skis from the boat ramp. Owens added that while Mangum sold the business to another operator, he still had directly involved in operation of the business, including using his personal vehicle, answering business phone calls and carrying a clipboard. “We have to be pretty strict about operating businesses on town property,” Owens said. “Businesses have to operate with the permitted and conditional uses. They can’t just operate in rights-of-ways. We wouldn’t allow someone to operate a business in Wynn Plaza or at the park.” The jet ski operation isn’t the only one that town officials have their sights set on, Owens said. “We are aware of two other businesses and going to be pursuing actions against them,” he said. A call to Mangum by a Lumina News reporter was not returned.

UNCW Chancellor Jose V. Sartarelli contributes to Endowed Scholarship as Part of First “Chancellor’s Challenge”

UNCW’s Chancellor Jose V. Sartarelli has donated $25,000 to an endowed scholarship as part of the school’s first-ever “Chancellor’s Challenge” giving initiative. The Challenge, spearheaded by Sartarelli, encouraged graduating students to donate to the university to receive a matching pledge. “I am very pleased that the Chancellor’s Challenge helped inspire every graduating student to recognize the importance of philanthropic giving and to encourage them to give back to the institution and causes they value,” said Chancellor Sartarelli. “By matching their donations and

investing into additional student scholarships, I hope I have reiterated the commitment of UNCW’s leadership, faculty and staff to providing the best possible educational opportunities to as many students as we can.” As part of the Chancellor’s Challenge, 849 graduating students contributed $23,516 in gifts to the university area of their choosing. University faculty and staff also made some significant commitments with 730 employees contributing $234,000. Just this year alone, 10,822 Seahawks made gifts and commitments totaling $15.4 million. The Division for University Advancement touted other impressive giving results on a website launched earlier this summer. “The Chancellor’s personal commitment inspired hundreds of students to get involved, and it’s a tradition we look forward to continuing,” said Eddie Stuart, vice chancellor for university

advancement. “Philanthropy plays an important role in the UNCW experience, and every year I’m humbled by the number of students and employees who give.” Key priorities of the university’s Strategic Plan include ensuring accessible, affordable education and capitalizing campus partnerships and strengths to enrich the student experience. Through creative fundraising initiatives like the Chancellor’s Challenge and the campus community’s continued philanthropic support, UNCW is able to reach more students, more meaningfully, than ever before. The $25,000 gift from Chancellor Sartarelli will help fund the Jose V. “Zito” Sartarelli and Katherine A. Sartarelli Distinguished Merit Scholarship. The scholarship was established to assist UNCW in attracting students who demonstrate advanced academic ability and special achievement.

On Saturday, September 8, Blue Coast Realty and Wrightsville Beach Brewery will team up to host a block party and cornhole tournament to benefit the Brigade Boys & Girls Club from noon until 4 p.m. A goal has been set to raise $20,000 for the organization so that twenty club members with demonstrated financial need can receive year-long scholarships.

Working together to support an indisputably good cause, just seemed like

a good idea to me.” Brigade Boys & Girls Club’s mission is to enable all youth, especially those that need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.

Grammy Winner Lindsey Buckingham to perform at CFCC’s Wilson Center in October

Fish for Mandie Tournament set for September The Fish for Mandie Tournament Executive Committee has announced that Elizabeth Grace Galphin, Mary Connelly Wade, and Charles Stanfield are the recipients of the 2018 Mandie Phillips Memorial Scholarships. Each student was awarded $5,000 towards his/her education expenses at Appalachian State University. Heather Visingard, Director of Donor Stewardship at Appalachian State University stated, "We are fortunate to have alumni and friends like you who truly value the exceptional education that Appalachian provides. Your support makes a difference in the lives of our students who, in turn, will go on to make a difference in the world." The inaugural fishing tournament was established in 2016 at Motts Channel Seafood, and is coordinated by family and friends of Mandie Phillips. Before she died in a car accident in 2014, Mandie was a beloved employee at Motts Channel Seafood and a senior at Appalachian State University, majoring in political science with a minor in physics. The mission of the Mandie Phillips Memorial Fishing Tournament is to fulfill Mandie Phillips’ legacy by providing scholarships to New Hanover County high school students to help with their higher education expenses. "Most people say that the four years in college are the best years of one's life and, for some, it is on the behalf of donors like yourself that these years are made possible," said 2018 Scholarship recipient Charles Stanfield. "I have the utmost respect for your willingness to help students ease the burden financially, and I thank God for you all every single day." The third annual Mandie Phillips Memorial

The weather is making fishing very difficult both offshore and nearshore, but we are still catching fish. It’s just a little slower than normal due to the weather and the poor water quality, but a shift in wind direction should occur on Thursday. The winds will be out of the northeast and blow blue water back into Wrightsville Beach, which will make fishing good again.

catch mahi, we need to be able to look at the current charts and read which way the ocean is laying. Spanish mackerel catches have been on and off within 5 miles of the beach.

Ocean Stinger Fishing Charters

I have been fishing between 24 miles and 29 miles, mostly around 23-mile rock and areas to the southwest. I have been slow drawing normal speed, falling one planer rod rigged with a No. 3 planer and a small ballyhoo on a pink headed crystal and pink skirted sea witch. (It’s one of the many skirt rigs I tie myself.). Also running a long outrigger and short outrigger on the starboard side. The long outrigger has a blue crystal pink islander, and inside outrigger as a pink headed crystal sea witch. Portside we run the plane rod and one outrigger, preferably long. That is a blue and crystal islander. We have been catching king mackerel in the same area for the past two days in the 11-mile range, recently boating three at 48-plus inches. We’re also catching keeper kings from 18 miles all the way to 35 miles. Tto find the blue clean water to
