Irma brings winds, storm surge toWB shores By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Peak wind gusts of 40 mile per hour and storm surge of several feet hit Wrightsville Beach on Monday, Sept. 11 after the outer bands of Hurricane Irma, along with another low-pressure system in the Atlantic, created gale conditions on the beach. However, while the winds pushed waters close to the dune line near high tide, town officials said Wrightsville Beach escaped serious erosion damage. “There was some minor to moderate beach erosion, a little bit of flattening, but no significant lose of dunes,” Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair said. “We’re fortunate, it didn’t produce a lot of damage on Wrightsville Beach.” The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers surveyed the beach on Tuesday and Wednesday to assess the effects of any erosion. Meanwhile, scores of curiosity seekers came to the beach to watch the violent tide come in. One groups was the Boswell family of Iowa, who rerouted to Wrightsville Beach after their planned vacation to Disney World in Florida was rained out due to Hurricane Irma. “We came to see the ocean, we didn’t expect to see it like this,” said Angel Boswell, who took photos on the end of the pier with husband, Chad, and children Keagan, Kyson and Corbin.

Lifeguards make dramatic rescues Town marketers talk 4th fireworks By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Staff photo by Terry Lane
The Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue lifeguard stands were taken down on Saturday, Sept. 9 ahead of storm surge from Hurricane Irma, which produced winds and high tides on Monday and Tuesday.
Wrightsville Beach lifeguard pulled at least nine people from rough rip currents Friday afternoon including a dramatic board rescue where five people struggling in the surf clung to a lifeguard’s rescue board. Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue Lt. Greg Still steadied the five struggling swimmers on the board while as many as seven lifeguards swam out with buoys to shuttle them back into shore one-by-one. No one needed to go to the hospital after the rescues, officials said. “They were panicking,” Still n See RESCUES Page 2

The town’s marketing officials informally discussed developing a bigger Independence Day celebration for Wrightsville Beach, including a fireworks display around the July 4th holiday, as part of the town’s monthly Marketing Advisory Committee meeting on Tuesday evening. Blockade Runner General Manager Nicolas Montoya first proposed the idea, asking Town Manager Tim Owens how the committee could move forward with a proposal for the board of aldermen. Montoya said that while this year’s Fourth of July crowds were good, the hotel wasn’t at full occupancy. Other members agreed that competition from Wilmington and Southport fireworks displays, along with the growth in competition from hotels around Mayfaire Town Center and Military Cutoff Road, were creating more pressure for hotels on the island to compete for visitors. “We have to celebrate the Fourth of July as it should be celebrated,” said Montoya, who also serves as the chair of the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority board of directors . n See FIREWORKS Page 2
Coastal Fed plans Historic Cottage Move on Board Agenda boil & brew By Terry Lane
Staff Writer
Staff Report The North Carolina Coastal Federation and Wrightsville Beach Brewery are hosting the Low Country Boil & Brew to celebrate and support a clean, healthy coast. The event will be Sunday, Sept. 24, 4-7 p.m. at the brewery and will feature fresh local seafood, craft beer, live music, games and more. “Our first annual fundraising event at the Wrightsville Beach Brewery is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the bounty of the coast and the importance of a clean, healthy coast to our residents, visitors and businesses,” said Tracy Skrabal, coastal scientist and manager at the federation’s Wrightsville Beach office. Wrightsville Beach Brewery, which is a sponsor for the event, has supported the federation in the past, donating 11 percent of its March “give back” beer sales to the organization’s 50 Million Oyster
At its meeting tonight, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will consider offering a $1-per-year lease to the town’s Museum of History for land in the town square to relocate a historic beach cottage. But the timing of the move could raise some issues, as the home’s new owners said the current schedule could lead to construction issues that cause traffic on the town’s busy North Lumina Avenue during the summer.

“Its an idea we need to talk about. We need to grow and not take the summer for granted.” Montoya said that the hotel was not full for the Independence Day holiday and that the town needed a more formalized event to draw in more visitors, including considering scheduling fireworks for a different time. South Beach Grill owner John Andrews, a member of Holiday Flotilla Committee, said that fireworks display costs about $15,000,

However, in a letter to the board, Debbie Strickland said that a late moving date could cause issues with construction of a new house on the lot. “If the Historic Cottage is not moved by the end of October, we have concerns about the
adding that local businesses could come together for a display of about $10,000. Montoya asked if the county’s tourism development authority funds could be used for fireworks. Montoya also added that he believed a beach side display, perhaps at Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, would bring contrast to the sound side fireworks display from spoil islands in Banks Channel that accompany the annual Holiday Flotilla boat parade. Shawn Braden said that another option to increase summer tourism for Wrightsville Beach could be an
event in June, where she said the county has a lack of events. “Food trucks are so popular. No one has really capitalized on food trucks yet,” she offered. Owens said that any formal proposal for any additional summer events would need to start with conversations with other town leaders, adding that the board of aldermen had been reluctant to add any new events for the summer months. “The aldermen may be surprised to know that there is inventory available,” said Andrews, suggesting that information could sway
opinions on adding a new event. In the meeting, Montoya spoke broadly about how a well organized event could highlight the qualities of the town’s summer offerings. He said that the hotels would likely charge a higher rate during that event and also suggested that the town raise parking rates as well. “We can’t grow any more, but we can offer more value,” Montoya said. “This is the most accessible, highest quality beach in the state. There’s a difference here than other places and with that, there’s a cost, and we should charge accordingly.”

No. 29, as many as seven people were caught in rip currents, including the five swept away together. A swarm of ATVs and rescues trucks responded to the scene, witnesses said. “It was stirred up. It was like a washing machine,” said Bret
Russell of Wilmington, who witnessed the rescue. “I thought I was in relaxation mode but it’s easy to get winded out there.” Still said one victim on the board was so winded that it required two lifeguards, plus the assistance of a third, to pull them back in. Wrightsville Beach Fire Chief Glen Rogers said that after a slow summer with little activity, the lifeguards got a test at
the season’s end that showed the level of their training. “It was a sea of red and black,” Rogers said, describing the rescue. “It was rolling in very heavy. It was tough.” Wrightsville Beach took down its lifeguard stands this week, part of preparations for the tropical storm force winds from Hurricane Irma this week.
construction of our new beach house continuing through the entire summer of 2018. This would mean congestion around our property, which is a heavily traveled area with cars, bikes, and walkers, all summer long,” Strickland wrote. “There are liability and safety concerns this could create for the Town of Wrightsville Beach, our neighbors, and us.” Since the cottage is a historical property, the museum has one year from Feb. 7, 2017 to complete the
move. Wrightsville Beach Museum of History directory Madeline Flagler said the museum would be able to meet that deadline, but not likely have the house moved before the end of October. She said that the museum was planning for the move as early as Dec. 15, but the timetable could be pushed back. Currently, the museum was working to raise the nearly $200,000 needed to move the house, which was higher than
estimates due to the costs of creating the clearance through utility lines. The Ewing-Bordeaux Cottage would be an addition to, not a replacement for, the museum, which is currently housed in another relocated building, the Meyers Cottage. Adding the new building potentially give the museum an opportunity to expand to new exhibits covering topics not currently covered, Flagler added

Hook, Line & Sinker Weekly Fishing Impacted By Irma By Skylar Walters
Unfortunately, there’s not much to report on the fishing front, as all eyes were on Hurricane Irma for the past week or so. Fortunately for us, we only got a sweeping and glancing blow, that brought a little wind and some heavy rains to our local area. Jose is yet another system that we need to pay close attention to and with the hurricane season not officially ending until the end of November, we can all use this last event as a training scenario and hopefully we won’t need to put any of our plans into action. Water temperatures have dropped into the middle seventies, no doubt coo enough to get the fish in an eating mood, but the winds and seas won’t be allowing much offshore action for the foreseeable future. The near shore and offshore forecasts are not looking that great going into the weekend and beyond that remains to be seen. Stiff north east winds and choppy seas will prevent most, if not all, from venturing outside of the inlet. Once the conditions calm down, the reports should be pouring in, but anglers will just have to wait until Mother Nature allows it. Inshore, the fishing should pick up right where it left off, with red drum being the primary species that being caught. Both over slot and slot fish have been reported for weeks and there’s no reason that with cooler water temperatures that fishing and catching won’t be increasing. Anglers had been commenting that with the large amount of bait in the water, they were having better luck using cut bait instead of live bait, mainly because the cut bait emits more scent for the fish to focus on.
TIDES Masonboro Inlet
Latitude 34° 11’ N, Longitude 77° 49’ W
With the cooler water temperatures, the speckled trout fishing should start to improve once the water quality also does. Artificial baits had been working well for the trout, mainly in the lower Cape Fear River, but as the month progresses, there will be many more reports of fish being encountered in the Wrightsville Beach area. Flounder fishing should also start improving; although a lot of anglers targeting them have been have decent success with finding keeper fish. Many fishermen were finding good quality fish around the near shore reefs but that fishing will cease until conditions improve. The area docks and creek mouths as well as the inlets, when conditions allow, should begin to start producing some decent catches of keeper flounder. Both live finger mullets fished on Carolina Rigs and soft artificial baits should work well to attract some interest from the flatfish. Surf anglers will find that fishing the surf will yield some good results once the seas allow anglers to try their luck. With the churned up waters, the fish will be looking to eat, and anglers can expect some decent sized virginia mullets, pompano and black drum on fresh shrimp and sand fleas. Cut bait and live minnows should produce some red drum, bluefish and flounder. If fishing your favorite spot right after the storm, make sure you visit it during the time of low tide, as the churning waves probably repositioned or filled in your secret fishing hole, and you may need to find another, of which there’ll be many.

Courtesy UNCW Sports
Sophomore Thao My Nguyen finished in a tie for first place to lead UNCW to a second-place finish at the William & Mary Invitational at Kingsmill Resort on Monday afternoon. The Seahawks, who shot a 294 team score in the final round, finished just two shots behind Penn State for the team title. Nguyen, meanwhile, finished in a tie with Penn State’s Jackie Rogowicz for the individual lead, but Rogowicz claimed the title after a one-hole playoff. Nguyen, who finished with a 218 (+2) score for the tournament, was one of three Seahawks to earn a
top five finish. Junior Ellinoora Moisio earned third place after posting a one-over par 73 in the final round while senior Kayla Thompson followed in a tie for fourth place with a fiveover par 221 tournament score. Freshman Caroline Cahill completed the first tournament of her college career with a share of 26th place after carding a 76 in the final round. Senior Alaina Yeatts finished in a tie for 46th place. Freshman Rachael Mast, who also made her collegiate debut this weekend, played as an individual and claimed a tie for 37th place following a
six-over par 78 in the third round. This was a great start for our team. I am really proud of how competitive we were to start the year. We played great today despite the fact the course played tougher with the strong winds, “ said head coach Cindy Ho. “It was great to see Thao My, Elli and Kayla have an excellent tournament. Thao My played very well today to get into a playoff and even though she didn’t win in her first playoff attempt, she had an incredible experience.” The Seahawks return to action at the Furman Lady Paladin Invitational on Sept. 22-24.

Meanwhile, UNCW sophomore Thao My Nguyen has been named recipient of the Colonial Athletic Association Women’s Golfer-of-the-Week Award. McShea helped the Seahawks to a second-place finish in the tournament after carding an impressive 76-71-68=215 score and overcoming harsh playing conditions early in the tournament.

She has worked extremely hard this summer, making improvements in her short game and it has definitely showed in the competition.”
