WBPD sees upcoming retirement of veteran captain, has five other open positions to fill following departures By Terry Lane Staff Writer

With overdoses rising in NC, Wilmington comes together for overdose awareness day

Down five officers at summer’s finnish, the Wrightsville Beach Police Department will conduct a search for several new officers in the Fall. However, the most difficult position for the department to fill may be the pending opening at the captain position, as one of the department’s most experienced officers has put in for her retirement. After 21 years on the Wrightsville Beach Police Department, Capt. Valerie Blanton will retire in December, police chief Dan House said, though she won’t be entirely gone, as she will continue to work part time for the department in property and evidence collection. Blanton is one of two captains in the department. From the captains position to patrol officers, House said that the department generally must find a handful of new officers at certain points in the year. “We’re not out of line, we typically have about five leaves we have to replace,” House said. “We’re right on average for any given year.” A handful of other Wrightsville Beach police officers have also left this summer for other opportunities. Officer Kassie Fuchs, a product of the department’s intern program, took a position in the WIlmington Police Department real-time crime center. The position isn’t a sworn officer position, House said, but it will give her an opportunity to work in forensics and crime analysis, which ties into her criminal justice degree from University of North Carolina Wilmington. Officer Matthew Monroe left to work in a family business and Officer A. Jossler left for a position in the North Topsail Beach Police Department, House said. While have vacancies in the department isn’t unusual, House said it is getting more difficult to find qualified candidates for openings. “The pool of candidates that are out there is shrinking,” House said. “Police are tired of being beat up in the media.” The problem isn’t just with the Wrightsville Beach Police Department, as House noted that the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office has more than two dozen current openings. However, House said that both the town and the state are working on changes to help recruit and retain n See POLICE Page 2

Johnson’s passion helps save Masonboro Island By Elizabeth Leland Duke Energy illumination Contributor

On windswept coastal island 10 miles from downtown Wilmington, N.C., a solitary figure strolls beside the crashing surf several mornings most weeks, alone with his Border Collies and his thoughts. To the south and north, multistory buildings rise from Carolina Beach and Wrightsville Beach. But on Masonboro Island, where Richard Johnson walks, the sand dunes are the highest points. Less than 9 miles long and barely wider than a football field in places, it is the largest

undeveloped barrier island on the southern North Carolina coast. Johnson, 57, who made his fortune during the dot-com boom, is an unlikely but passionate advocate for preserving the island in its natural state for generations to come. You’ll find him cleaning up trash after the annual Fourth of July party and helping teach fifthgraders about the wonders of the tiny slip of an island through the Masonboro Island Explorer program (which Duke Energy has funded with $144,750 in grants since 2014). “If you’re trying to save the island for the next generation,” Johnson said, “you better have

that next generation love it and know what’s being saved for them.” Johnson loves it. He could live anywhere in the world. He chose land on the Intracoastal Waterway across from Masonboro Island and he regularly boats over. “I do my best thinking walking down the beach,” he said. “I’m still an entrepreneur, still investing in companies, still in control of my investments. It’s my place of reflection.” You can reach Masonboro Island only by boat, but Johnson’s path there was more circuitous. n See JOHNSON Page 2

Jacob Venditti

WB surfer’s battle with big waves, cystic fibrosis to be subject of documentary By Allyson Beckman Intern

Wrightsville Beach professional surfer Jacob Venditti is always on a quest to surf bigger and better waves. As he battles cystic fibrosis as fearlessly as he battles the waves, Venditti inspires many, especially his longtime friend and surf partner, Jacob Laham. Now, the local filmmaker is making Venditti the subject of a documentary he hopes will inspire others. Having raised more than $3,000 online, the two recently returned from Mexico, where they shot footage of Venditti surfing waves as tall as 30 feet for the documentary that Laham hopes will inspire others to overcome obstacles. “I want to show people the superhero he is to me,” Laham said of Venditti. “We always talked about making a film, not a sob story, but an inspiring film that could change the world and motivate others.” Along with some other friends, Venditti and Laham shot the footage at a secret location that they have visited several times over the past few years. Venditti, who was born with cystic fibrosis, said that he was fortunate to have grown up by the beach. Despite his passion for surfing, being in the saltwater serves as a form of therapy for his condition. Because cystic fibrosis compromises the lungs, Venditti needed the help of a Jet Ski to save energy

and allow him to catch more waves, which was one of the purposes of the fundraiser. Venditti best describes cystic fibrosis by explaining the amount of energy he would need to run 1 mile is equivalent to the amount it would take for an individual with healthy lungs to run two. But despite suffering from the disease, Venditti has continued to pursue his career in surfing. He continues to tackle new obstacles and surf even bigger waves. According to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, past studies have led scientists to conclude that inhaling a hypertonic saline solution provides benefits to individuals suffering from the disease. Additionally, a study completed by Australian doctors showed that young surfers with cystic fibrosis had significantly healthier lungs. Being by the saltwater acts as a natural hypertonic saline solution that helps alleviate bad congestion, one of the main symptoms of the disease. For Venditti growing up by the water has significantly helped reduce the amount of times he has had to visit the hospital for his condition. Venditti and Laham, both 24, met around the age of 14 through what they described as the close knit community of surfers on Wrightsville Beach. Over the years their friendship has turned into an inseparable bond that feeds into one another’s passions, Laham said. While Venditti was tackling the n See SURF Page 2 massive waves,

more officers. House said he is working on a new recruitment and retention program for the town that he believes will be able to get support from town leaders. Meanwhile, the state is working on several new initiatives, including creating a fellowship program that would let officers pay off students loans after they’ve worked for a certain period. Additionally, the state legislature passed a bill that lowered the police retirement age to 25 years, from 30 years, which House said could also help in recruitment. Continued from Page 1

Laham pursued his passion in film. Laham who started shooting photos around the same time him and Venditti became friends, graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a major in film. He now owns a company called Brown Bear Visuals, where he publishes his many works. Laham said he plans to have the documentary completed by 2019 at the earliest and plans to take it to film festivals and the Los Angeles film market, where he hopes an outlet like Netflix or ESPN will find interest. “I still love to surf, but my passion for surfing now is more about film,” said Laham.

n JOHNSON Continued from Page 1

Born in Pennsylvania, he moved to New Jersey as a young boy after his father died and his mother remarried. He returned to Pennsylvania to attend Bucknell University, where he played football and studied political science. After graduating, he took a job in New York City as a headhunter for a technology firm. “I’m about as tech as a fire hydrant,” he said. “I thought I would be a lawyer. But I was too ADHD to go back to school. Being a headhunter seemed to suit my personality perfectly. It was sales, but never the same product.” After several years, he started his own recruiting firm – the first, he boasts, to advertise an email address in the New York Times. By the early 1990s, he said he recognized that “the internet would be the biggest thing ever to happen in our lifetime in business.” So he switched platforms and started hotjobs, a recruiting company that posted job openings on the internet. What he did next, in 1999, has been described as one of the “10 gutsiest moves in entrepreneurial history.” Johnson mortgaged his house and other assets to pay for a $1.5 million ad during the Super Bowl plus another half a million dollars in production costs. That 30-second spot transformed his fledgling company into a giant. In 2001, Yahoo

bought hotjobs for half a billion dollars and Johnson retired. “At that point, I had been going to work before my kids got up and getting home after they went to bed,” Johnson said. “I would wake up at 3 a.m., thinking about work. I decided to check out. It goes back to when my father died when I was eight and he was 41. My brother died when he was 30 in a hunting accident. I retired at 41.” “No one thought I would ever be able to retire, I’m so type-A, a bull in a china shop. If I’m not involved in a project, I go crazy. After hotjobs, we moved to Wyoming and I focused on my kids (he and his wife, Carole, have four daughters). And I started directing more of my attention on nonprofits.” He said he helped restore a one-room schoolhouse, joined the board of the Bucknell Alumni Association and served as chairman of the wildlife conservation group WildAid. He’s currently working with Trout Unlimited to stop a proposed mine in Alaska’s Bristol Bay. After they relocated in 2005 to Wilmington, where Carole Johnson’s high school roommate lived, he learned that an annual July Fourth party on Masonboro had become so unruly, and the accumulation of trash so large, that there was talk of placing restrictions on the island. Johnson believed that Masonboro Island, most of which is owned by the state and

managed by the N.C. Division of Coastal Management, should be preserved and protected – but remain accessible, even to the partygoers. He formed Masonboro.org and recruited others who shared

Richard Johnson

h i s v i e w, including Tom Hackler, a control room supervisor at Duke Energy’s Brunswick Nuclear Plant. Beginning in 2009 and continuing every year since, a team of volunteers has cleaned up thousands of pounds of trash on July Fourth – and now partygoers help, too. Mission accomplished: The island remains open to the public. “I’m a long-tailed person,” Johnson said. “I know it takes five years to build a company. It takes five years to build a nonprofit. Around 2013, we realized we sort of solved the problem of trash. We were really a one-trick pony.” So they came up with a second trick: An island explorer program to teach fifth-graders in New Hanover County about the island and the need to protect it. The first year, 50 students came. Last year, nearly 2,000. “We have a lot of inner-city

kids in New Hanover County who rarely or ever visit a beach, especially an uninhabited one,” said Hackler, now president of Masonboro.org. “For the numerous volunteers involved in the program, introducing kids to this new world is the most rewarding part of the program. We have kids who actually get sick they are so excited. They catch crabs and go out in the marsh and identify periwinkles. It’s all here right in their backyard. We talk about the ever-changing marine ecosystem, the water cycle and environmental stewardship.” LaChawn Smith, assistant superintendent for instruction and academic accountability for New Hanover County Schools, said the hands-on experience is invaluable. “They offer the students an incredible experience that’s not only educational but also inspiring and motivating.” This upcoming school year, Johnson said, every fifth-grader in the county will have the opportunity to go and get to know the island. “For us, Masonboro Island is really our Yellowstone,” he said. “It’s the crown jewel of New Hanover County.” For someone who has traveled all over the world, there are few places Richard Johnson would rather be.

Radiothon raises $37,542 to Help Patients and Families at NHRMC The New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation has raised $37,542 in partnership with Sunny 103.7 for the 10th Annual Caring for Kids Radiothon. The two-day fundraising event occurred August 22-23 and was broadcast live from the lobby of the NHRMC Betty H. Cameron Women’s & Children’s Hospital and Nunnelee Pediatric Specialty Clinics. The donations will support the NHRMC Foundation’s Caring for Kids Fund, which provides financial assistance to qualified families of hospitalized pediatric and neonatal patients. “On behalf of the New Hanover Regional Medical Center Foundation, I couldn’t be more

grateful to all the donors as well as Sunny 103.7, along with the many volunteers and team members who helped to host Radiothon,” said Schorr Davis, NHRMC Vice President of Development/Foundation Executive Director. “The two days were inspiring, hearing our parents and children tell their stories of gratitude for the care they have received and for the support the Caring for Kids fund provides in times of need. The dollars raised will have a lasting impact on our families.” Social workers at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital identify ways to support families

in need so they can cover the cost of transportation, buy vital medications, or get the necessities needed to safely go home. Donations help provide an essential balance for families who don’t otherwise have the means to carry the financial burden of caring for a hospitalized child.
