WB eyes, preps for Irma
Wilmington Boat Show returns this weekend Staff report
By Terry Lane Staff Writer
As a powerful hurricane moved through the Caribbean this week, Wrightsville Beach officials began storm preparations as they monitored Hurricane Irma’s path as it moved towards Florida. While the National Weather Service Wilmington said the likelihood that the region would experience at least tropical storm force winds from what is now a Category 5 hurricane, on Wednesday evening said the ultimate path of Hurricane Irma was still uncertain. Recent hurricane tracking showed that the storm had taken a northeastern turn as it approached Florida on Wednesday, the NWS said. “While a turn to the north is looking more and more likely by later this weekend, the uncertainty with the track, and subsequent impacts, remains high, especially for the Carolinas,” NWS Wilmington said in its Wednesday, 6 p.m. update. “As a result of the expected northward movement the probability for at least tropical storm force winds is increasing across our area.” Meanwhile, N.C. Gov. Roy Cooper declared a state of emergency for all 100 North Carolina counties effective at 8 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 7. “There is a lot we still don’t know about this storm, but we do know that North Carolina can expect to feel some sort of effects as soon as early next week, and now is the time to get prepared,” Cooper said. “Wherever you live in North Carolina – from

The inaugural Wilmington Boat Show in 2016.
On Friday, September 8, The Wilmington Boat Show officially opens at noon in downtown Wilmington, NC. The show will be held at the Wilmington Convention Center, Port City Marina, The Shell and Battleship NC. Last year, the inaugural show was attended by more than 12,000 boating enthusiasts. The Wilmington Boat Show features more than 150 vendors, 85 boat lines, hundreds of boats on sale and everything nautical. “We are thrilled with the growth of the show in only one year. It is a beautiful location for a boat show of this magnitude. Visitors are in for a treat, with four locations packed with boats and nautical merchandise, seminars and kids’ activities, live music, food and a beer garden. There is definitely something for everyone’s interests,” Show owner and President of JBM & Associates, Jacqui Bomar said. Visitors can park for free at the Battleship NC and take the free water ferry across the river n See BOAT Page 2
Wilmington votes more funds for Trask bridge crossing project
By Terry Lane Staff Writer
The Wilmington City Council approved an additional $180,000 for the construction of a walkway under the Heide Trask Bridge, completing the city’s cross-city trail and providing a crossing path for bikers and pedestrians across of Wrightsville Avenue. However, before approving the ordinance by a 7-0 vote, a few members raised questions about why the project had now been pushed up to a total cost of more than $800,000. The project was delayed after the contractor said that design deficiencies prevented the project completed under the current budget. Wilmington Director of Community Services Amy Beatty said that the contractor needed an additional $250,000 to complete the process, with the rest coming from unused funds allocated for the project. n See LIFEGUARD Page 2

Shannon Miller to speak at She ROCKS luncheon Staff report Former Olympic champion Shannon Miller will be the keynote speaker at the 2017 She ROCKS Luncheon supporting a local 501c3 dedicated to raising money to fund research for ovarian cancer. The 4th annual event will be held September 12 at the Wilmington Convention Center. She ROCKS (Research Ovarian Cancer Knowledge Support) exists to bring awareness and attention to ovarian cancer through funding groundbreaking research, and by helping women who are undergoing treatment for cancer. The organization is solely committed to these pursuits and it gives every penny that it takes in toward these goals. Since its inception in 2014, She ROCKS has raised more than $560,000, including nearly $200,000 in 2016. The nonprofit has given $326,000 to UNC Lineberger Cancer Center to fund ovarian cancer research, and gifted 39 chemo chairs to the new infusion n See ROCKS Page 2

the mountains to the piedmont to the coast – you need to take this storm seriously, and you need to start preparing for some type of impact.” Wrightsville Beach Town manager Tim Owens said that staff department heads were already meeting daily to go over preparations and checklists and would soon begin twice-a-day meetings. There would also be a small staff on hand this weekend to monitor developments, he said. Preparations will include taking down Wrightsville Beach lifeguard stands on Thursday and Friday, he said. The town also began encouraging residents and frequent visitors to prepare for the storm, which should include obtaining a hurricane re-entry pass. Lumina News has published the storm reentry pass details on page 3. The town also encouraged residents to make emergency evacuation preparations. Those details are published on page 4. Regardless of the storm’s path, the NWS said that dangerous surf and rip currents were expected throughout the coming weekend. Dangerous surf and rip currents are expected through the weekend. It’s too early to tell what specific surge, wind, rainfall, and tornado impacts could occur,” NWS Wilmington said. “However, regardless of the ultimate track of the storm the combination of above normal astronomical tides & large wave action is likely to cause beach erosion which can further damage vulnerable coastal infrastructure previously damaged by Matthew.” Cooper said the State of Emergency will go into effect at

The main thrust of the redesign is to address design deficiency due to horizontal force, like wind and tidal forces,” Beatty said, noting that the redesign was also needed to avoid AT&T conduits and address other environmental conditions. Wilmington City Councilman Charles Rivenbark asked why the project was so expensive. He also questioned why the project would connect to Airlie Road, which doesn’t have a sidewalk.
8 a.m. on Thursday, September 7 in order to facilitate the movement of any resources that may be needed to respond to the storm. It also waives truck weight, size and hours of service restrictions so that vehicles carrying essential supplies such as food, medicine, fuel or transporting livestock or crops can get their jobs done quickly. While much uncertainty still exists about Hurricane Irma’s storm track, meteorologists are predicting that portions of the state could experience wind and rain from the tropical system as early as Monday. “Our emergency response teams are seasoned and ready. They have been tested repeatedly over the past year and our colleagues are ready to respond as called,” Public Safety Secretary Erik Hooks said. “But we cannot weather this storm alone. This is a tremendous storm. We need residents and visitors to ensure they are ready: check your emergency plans, restock your emergency kits, and pay close attention in the coming days to the weather forecast.” The state’s Emergency Management team began coordinating storm preparations over the Labor Day weekend with county partners, state agencies and South Carolina, Virginia and officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. They have requested a FEMA incident management team to expedite any federal assets that may be needed to respond to the storm. State transportation officials also have placed crews on standby, been preparing their equipment and checking culverts to remove debris that may clog drainage pipes.
“It just seems like going to spend almost a million dollars to get people over to Airlie Road and that’s more dangerous road than the road we got them off of,” Rivenbark said. Beatty said that the project was needed to give pedestrians and bikers a safe way to cross over Wrightsville Avenue before crossing the drawbridge leading to Wrightsville Beach. Beatty also said that the city attorney was reviewing whether the design firm was responsible for any of the additional costs.
Public Invited to “Project Grace” Meetings New Hanover County will hold two information meetings to allow for public input and outline the findings of “Project Grace,” the market and site analysis of a county-owned downtown block. The meetings will be held on Monday, September 18, 6-7:30 p.m., in the Hanover Room at the downtown library and on Tuesday, September 19, 6-7:30 p.m., in the Williston Auditorium at the Cape Fear Museum. A presentation on the study will be given by staff and written comments from the public will be collected and shared with the Board of County Commissioners.

Additionally, She ROCKS funds various support initiatives for patients undergoing chemotherapy, including monthly gas cards, wig purchases, and Tervis Tumblers to remind patients to stay hydrated through treatment. “We started with a personal passion and a vision,” said Quinn, “and then took our message to our community. The generous response has been beyond our wildest dreams, and it just keeps growing. Bringing a speaker of Shannon Miller’s stature to our luncheon shows how much momentum is behind our efforts. We are profoundly grateful.” The most decorated Olympic
gymnast in American history, Shannon Miller won seven Olympic medals, nine World Championship medals and is a member of 11 Halls of Fame. She is the only female athlete to be inducted into the US Olympic Hall of Fame twice. She was honored for her individual accomplishments in 2006 and as part of the team in 2008. Miller is also a noted TV personality and radio host, an author, and an entrepreneur who runs a thriving namesake business: Shannon Miller Lifestyle. Miller also quickly points with pride to her other distinguished titles: wife, mother and cancer survivor. After retiring from Olympic competition, Miller received her undergraduate degrees in marketing and entrepreneurship from the University of Houston and her law
of women to help one another in whatever ways possible,” said Miller. “What a perfect complement to my organization’s goal of creating partnerships and programs that educate, motivate and inspire all women to be their best.” “We are so honored to have Shannon Miller speak at our luncheon,” said Beth Quinn, who founded She ROCKS with Mary Barto and Tracy Brown. “Shannon’s story of hope, strength and perseverance is universal. It resonates with cancer patients, to be sure, but also serves as a reminder to everyone. People rave about her inspirational message and warmth, and we in Wilmington are very fortunate to be able to hear her speak in person.” Sponsorships, table reservations and individual tickets are available at she-rocks.org.

to and from Atlantic Marine’s Wrightsville Beach location by a growing fleet of service trucks and trailers. In 1973, N. Kay Crocker purchased the property, where he operated a Grady-White Boats dealership. Crocker gained the trust and loyalty of many as he built his business into one of the largest Grady-White Boats dealerships in the network. “After Kay Crocker’s passing in 2009, the dealership closed. Carrying on Kay’s legacy, Atlantic Marine added GradyWhite Boats to the other new boat lines offered by the dealership,” said Atlantic Marine owner David Floyd. “More importantly, several former Crocker’s Marine employees joined the Atlantic Marine team, offering customers a near seamless transition.” Since 2009, Atlantic Marine
has grown the Grady-White Boats presence in southeastern North Carolina and is now the Carolinas’ largest Grady-White Boats dealer. To accommodate that growth, Atlantic Marine added a 30,000-square foot climate controlled warehouse in 2013 and an indoor Grady-White Boats showroom in 2014, the company said. In 2016, Grady-White Boats awarded Atlantic Marine the Gold Anchor Sales Award, reserved for the largest volume dealership in the world. Atlantic Marine has been family owned and operated in southeastern North Carolina since 1976 and offers a marina, service facility, storage facility, and is a dealer of Grady-White Boats and Yamaha Outboards.

Editorial/Opinion Town of Wrightsville Beach Sept. 6 Storm Preparation Advisory Anyone with interests in Wrightsville Beach (residents and property owners, visitors, business owners, etc.) should have a personal evacuation plan. All areas of Wrightsville Beach are prone to hurricane storm surge flooding. Storm surge flooding claims more lives than any other hurricane hazards. Residents and property owners should have a current vehicle tax decal that serves as a means of identification for re-entry following a mandatory hurricane evacuation. Purchase town vehicle tax decals prior to hurricane season from the Lanier Parking Office (910-256-5453). Since Town staff must also prepare to evacuate, Town tax decal sales are suspended when a Hurricane Warning (hurricane conditions expected within 36 hours) is posted. Businesses, Marinas, Boat Owners, Contractors, Property Managers, and Caretakers: Hurricane reentry passes are issued by the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and are available for pick up starting April 1 of each year. Passes may be obtained at the front desk of the Police Department, Monday - Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding holidays. Applicants must bring a valid driver’s license or ID card, and proof of relationship to the business, marina, or property in which you are associated. Passes should be retained for the duration of the season. For additional details, please call the Wrightsville Beach Police Department at 256-7945.
Monitor weather forecasts during a hurricane event and understand hurricane forecasting terminology. Know where to go if it is necessary to evacuate. Staying with family or friends is the best option since hotels fill up quickly. Fuel all vehicles if a storm threatens. Leave early and don’t travel further than necessary to reach safe shelter. Remember to plan for your pets. Designate a family member or friend outside of the disaster area to act as an emergency contact. EVERYONE should have a personal disaster preparedness kit. This kit should include water and non-perishable food for 3 to 7 days, blankets or sleeping bag, prescription medicines, first aid kit, personal hygiene items, flashlight, battery-powered radio, spare batteries, appropriate clothing, basic hand tools, important documents, and cash. Add special items for babies, the elderly and pets. Have a plan for protecting your home or business. Use plywood or storm shutters to protect windows and doors from flying debris. If windows or doors fail, pressure increases inside the structure and the likelihood of roof failure increases. Prepare plywood or shutters before a hurricane threatens. To minimize the risk of fire, turn off LP gas and electricity prior to evacuating. Turn off water to docks and piers to prevent losing water through damaged piping.

Hook, Line & Sinker September Fishing Started Great, But... By Skylar Walters
The first week of September had offered both inshore and offshore anglers ample opportunities to try their luck. With the holiday weekend, many more got to enjoy the sunny skies, after Saturday’s rainy morning, and slight seas to fish for pretty much anything that they wanted. This week however is a whole different animal. A cold front is forecast to arrive and bring with it strong north east winds in the area of twenty five knots which will create dangerous sea conditions throughout the weekend. Then, early next week, our area might have to deal with Hurricane Irma, either directly or indirectly and whatever the case it probably won’t be pleasant, but we’ll just have to wait and see on what scenario we encounter. One item that will be good news is that the front will also bring with it cooler temperatures and much lower humidity, which will help bring down the water temperatures also, which are still reading in the mid to lower eighties. The fishing offshore was pretty decent for those heading to the blue water early in the week. Wahoo were reported in fairly good numbers around the Steeples and Same Ole Hole as well as some areas where anglers were able to locate temperature breaks. Some decent action from dolphin were also reported along with a few blackfin tuna. Bottom fishing in the thirty mile range is good with catches of red grouper, snapper and triggerfish. Some large black bass have also been reported recently with smaller fish being reported closer to the beach. The king mackerel fishing has not been exactly what anglers are looking for with the catches being scattered, but there are some fish being caught. Both live bait and dead cigars are working and those having

success have been fishing ledges and live bottoms that have been holding good amounts of bait. Barracuda have also been a regular catch, especially around the areas of artificial reefs. Spanish mackerel fishing has remained good along the beach with Clark Spoons trolled on planers. With the heat and humidity, most of the fish have been staying deeper. Inshore fishing has been really good for red drum and flounder. A lot of anglers are reporting that cut bait has been out fishing live bait for the red drum, mainly due to the amount of baitfish in the water. Some anglers are also having better luck on flounder by using artificial baits instead of live minnows, again because there’s so much baitfish for the flounder to choose from. Some speckled trout have also been reported coming from the lower Cape Fear River. Surf fishermen have been having luck with virginia mullet and small pompano using fresh shrimp. Now that the majority of seasonal visitors have left the area, the fishing along the surf zone should improve a little, mainly because anglers will have much more water to choose a location to fish from. Anglers have also reported some bluefish making an appearance along the beaches which is a sure sign that fall is in the not too distant future, but we’ve still got a few weeks to go. Hopefully next week brings us nothing more than rain and a little wind and fortunately the storm forecast has it moving fast so whatever impact will hopefully be short-lived. Whatever the case, if you haven’t already made your plans, which you should have at the beginning of the season, now is the time to prepare, as you don’t want to be riding around over the weekend trying to find supplies.

UNCW men’s soccer receives national recognition after strong start The UNCW men’s soccer team is receiving national attention after opening the season with three wins in its first four games, including a victory over No. 3 North Carolina last Friday night. The Seahawks, who split a pair of contests against nationally-ranked ACC foes last week, moved into the top 25 of the United Soccer Coaches Division I poll and hold the No. 15 position. They are also ranked third in this week’s United Soccer Coaches Midwest Region rankings, moving ahead one spot from last week. UNCW is ranked ninth in the Soccer America Top 25 poll while claiming the No. 12 spot in this week’s Top Drawer Soccer Top 25 rankings. The Seahawks also check in at No. 25 in the College Soccer News Top 30 poll. In addition to the team earning national recognition, freshman defender Hjalmar Ekdal continues to receive accolades. The Stockholm, Sweden, native, who earned Colonial Athletic Association Player-of-the-Week notice on Monday, was named to the National Team-of-the-Week by Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News. UNCW, off to a 3-1-0 start, returns home on Friday night to host Longwood in a non-conference game at UNCW Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m.

UNCW’S Ekdal named CAA men’s soccer player of the week UNCW freshman defender Hjalmar Ekdal earned his second Colonial Athletic Association weekly honor after being named as the league’s Player-of-the-Week on Monday. The Stockholm, Sweden, native, who was recognized as the CAA Rookie-of-the-Week last week, scored the only goal in the Seahawks’ 1-0 victory over No. 3 North Carolina on Friday. He headed in a corner kick by junior David Lozano in the 27th minute for his second goal in as many games. “This is a very deserving award for Hjalmar,” Coach Aidan Heaney said. “He is off to a great start and is getting the job done both on the defensive and attacking sides of the game. He is playing well beyond his years as he is only a freshman and has transitioned quickly to the college game.” Ekdal, who is tied for the team lead with two goals, has helped the Seahawks to a 3-0-0 record heading into Monday night’s contest at No. 12 Virginia. UNCW returns home on Friday, Sept. 8, to entertain Longwood at UNCW Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m.

Sophomore Blake McShea continued his impressive play in the season opener, carding a final round 68 to finish tie for third and help lead UNCW to a second-place finish at the Turning Stone Tiger Intercollegiate on Monday. “I’m very proud of the way we played, especially given the challenging weather conditions in the first round,” said UNCW interim head coach Daniel Bowden. “We hit a lot of great shots on a very demanding golf course and against a perennial top-25 Missouri program.” Missouri led from the start and won the tournament comfortably.

No. 9 North Carolina defeats UNCW, 2-0
Freshman goalkeeper Sydney Schneider made a season-high seven saves, but it was not enough as No. 9 North Carolina defeated UNCW, 2-0, in the Duke Nike Classic at Koskinen Stadium on Sunday afternoon.The Tar Heels, who won their third consecutive game, improved to 4-1-0 on the season. UNCW, meanwhile, drops to 2-4-0 following its third loss in a row. Freshman forward Sydney Spruill gave the Tar Heels a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute when she converted passes from freshman midfielder Emily Fox and junior defender Julia Ashley for the
first goal of her college career. Just under four minutes into the second half, sophomore forward Bridgette Andrzejewski upped the margin to 2-0 with her first goal of the season after heading in a shot off assists from freshman forward Alessia Russo and senior midfielder Megan Buckingham.Junior goalkeeper Samantha Leshnak tallied one save to record her second consecutive shutout as the Tar Heels outshot UNCW, 23-2. “This was another tough game against a top 10 opponent,” Coach Paul Cairney said. “To play on the field against a team
that has won 22 national championship can only make us better. I thought we worked hard together and it was a great team effort. Even though the result didn’t go our way, we can hold our heads quite high. I thought Sydney was fantastic today and kept us in the game. Games like this will make us better and help us to prepare to face ODU at home on Thursday night.” The Seahawks open a twogame homestand on Thursday, Sept. 7, by welcoming former Colonial Athletic Association foe Old Dominion to UNCW Soccer Stadium for a 7 p.m. contest.
UNCW topped third-place Boston College by 14 strokes. St. Peter’s and Cleveland State rounded out the top five. McShea (76-71-68=215) birdied three of the final six holes to rise from sixth into a tie for third during the final round. Missouri’s Hayden Buckley (7267-70=209) and Rory Franssen (72-68-70=210) finished in first and second, respectively. Buckley edged his teammate by a stroke for medalist honors. Thomas Eldridge (79-7369=221) finished the tournament strong with a final round 69 to finish tied for eighth. The top-10
finish was his 11th of his career and he moved into a tie for 10th all-time at UNCW. Reese McFarlane was the top UNCW individual finisher in the tournament, tying for eighth after carding a three-round total of 221. It was his second career top-10 finish. “Congratulations to Blake (McShea), Reese (McFarlane) and Thomas (Eldridge) on all placing in the top 10. We’re looking forward tour next event in Iowa.” UNCW next competes when it visits Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for the Golf Week Challenge hosted by Iowa on Sept. 17-19.
