CYC highlights sailing at lightning races By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Members of the Carolina Yacht Club had an opportunity to watch some of the world’s top sailors last weekend when it hosted the 2017 Lightning North American championships, part of a series of championship races the club plans to host. “The club was founded on the sport of sailing were all about promoting it and keeping it alive,” said Kevin Smith, general manager of the club. “We host events wherever we can to help keep the sport going.” More than 70 boats and 200 boaters came from 15 states and five countries to compete in the Atlantic waters off of Wrightsville Beach.

The Wrightsville Beach Planning Board will again consider approving a project for the empty lot by Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, while also weighing whether to allow the demolition of the Middle of the Island building, when it meets on Tuesday, Oct. 3. The planning board will consider changes made to the proposed “Atlantic View” residential duplex project, which would bring at least 10 duplexes to the lot. Developers proposed to build several duplexes on the lot, each approximately 2,800 square feet, and meets the town’s contentious 40-foot height limit that developers have said hinders building retail and commercial properties on the site.

But at 88, Wrightsville Beach triathlete Fraser Perry had a different age-related goal for the 39th annual Wilmington Family YMCA Triathlon in Wrightsville Beach on Saturday. He completed the race at a pace of 88 strides per minute. However, he said at that pace, “it was a lonely race.” Perry said he doesn’t know how many of the local triathlons he’s completed, but added that he’s run nearly every one since the third running. He was joined by Lori Campbell, who completed her 15th straight triathlon. “It’s an experience. Once a triathlete, always a triathlete,” Campbell said.

Before today’s modern GPS-based navigation system, fishermen like Wrightsville Beach’s Capt. Eddy Haneman relied on the good old-fashioned compass to navigate the waters. Now, visitors to the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History can get a look at one of the compasses actually used by Haneman in the 1940s and 1950s, as it was donated today to the museum.

Police Make Child Abduction, Heroin Arrests in Seperate Weekend incidents By Terry Lane Staff Writer
A day after connecting heroin to a DWI arrest in Wrightsville Beach, police arrested a Cary, N.C. man on charges of child abduction in an incident outside a local hotel. Wrightsville Beach Police charged Jonathan Morrison, 42, of Cary, with child abduction and assault on a child under 12. On Friday at about 10:50 a.m., police said the
grandmother of a child reported that a man had tried to grab the child while they sat in front of the Wrightsville Beach Holiday Inn. The child’s grandmother told police that Morrison tried to pick up the child from her lap, but he was not able to wrestle the child free from her grip. The man, who along with the child’s grandmother was a guest at the hotel, then went to the pool area, where he was identified by the grandmother and arrested.
He was released from New Hanover County Jail after meeting a $75,000 bond. On Thursday, Wrightsville Beach police found heroin and a syringe in the car of a Leland woman charged with DWI after she ran through a fence on South Lumina Avenue. Police arrested Jamie Keeling, 36, of Leland after she drove the wrong direction on South Lumina Avenue after hitting the fence in the 200 block, just south of the Blockade Runner Beach Resort, at about 9:30 a.m. n See POLICE Page 2

Ellen will be on display at the museum before being included in the forthcoming Waterman Hall of Fame collection. Blair Poteate said he bought the compass at auction for $1,600 during the 2014 Eddy Haneman Sailfish Tournament, which always features at least one item from Haneman’s for auction. “When I saw it, I was determined to get it,” Poteate said of the classic navigational device. “We’re just proud to give this piece of priceless memorabilia back to the beach.” The compass was stored below deck, serving as a secondary navigation aid if the compass on the bridge couldn’t be used, Poteate said. He described how a friend of his used to go out with Capt. Haneman when the boats were so slow that they had to leave at night in order to get to the Gulf Stream by the following morning. “They always had two compasses, and no other navigational aids,” Poteate said. “They went out by compass and came back by compass.” According to the Wrigthsville Beach Museum: “Captain Eddy Haneman is credited with establishing deep sea fishing in this area.

Smith said the event gave members a chance to watch the world’s elite sailors up close, and even meet them at an event on Saturday night. The event is one of several highprofile races the club plans to host. It last year hosted the Atlantic Coast championships of the Laser class and will host the U.S. Sailing Youth Championships in June of 2018, which will feature lasers,
1946, after serving in the Coast Guard, Captain Eddy moved to Wrightsville Beach with his wife. He came from Oriental where he had grown up fishing with his father. Haneman quickly displayed the leadership and professionalism he would be known for all of his life. Every day he showed up to work in his uniform of a khaki shirt and pants with a tie and captain’s hat. When the season slowed he would travel to large cities to promote deep sea fishing at Wrightsville Beach, complete with an impressive slide show of successful fishing charters with the backdrop of pristine waters and beautiful landscapes. He was instrumental in establishing public docks in Wrightsville Beach. “Captain Eddy died in 1994 at the age of 74. In 2000 Tripp Brice, Kit Taylor and Jimmy Vass started the Eddy Haneman Sailfish Tournament to honor Captain Eddy. The proceeds traditionally go to a local family in need. In 2014 the Mary and Eddy Haneman Park was established. In 2014, as part of the first class of inductees Captain Eddy was inducted under the category of Fishing. The 2017 Waterman Hall of Fame Celebration and Inductions will be held at Blockade Runner Beach Resort On Sunday, October 1, 2017.”

Plans for “Atlantic View” duplex project at Johnnie Mercer’s pier lot.
n JM PIER Continued from Page 1
duplexes would line both Seagull and Salisbury streets, with a oneway entrance and exit on Seagull Street and a private drive and landscaping in between the rows of duplexes. The developers are returning to the Wrightsville Beach Planning Board after it rejected the project on Aug. 1, mainly after several members raised concerns that the project didn’t have a commercial
element. They suggested devoting space in one of the 11 duplexes for a commercial or retail element. Town Manager Tim Owens said that the developers resubmitted the project, this time with a commercial space. He said the commercial space would be next to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, with the bottom unit being commercial and the top unit being residential. The project was submitted by a development group called 19 E. Salisbury Street, LLC, with town documents noting that
Wilmington-area homebuilder D. Logan would represent the project. The new proposal comes amid 10 years of vacancy at the property, which included proposals to raise the building height limit that were rejected by the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen. The “Atlantic View” project meets the town’s 40-foot building height limit and comes after some change in ownership of the property. To approve the development, which would be governed by a homeowners association, the town
will have to change the town’s zoning ordinance to allow the “group housing” classification, Meanwhile, the planning board will also consider allowing the owners of Poe’s Tavern on Old Causeway Drive to demolish the neighboring building that once housed the Middle of the Island restaurant. The owners said they plan to turn the lot into parking. The building was first build nearly 40 years ago, but has been empty for nearly a decade.

numerous charitable organizations in the Wilmington, NC area where this year’s tournament was held at Eagle Point Golf Club. Champions for Education is the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that managed and operated the Wells Fargo Championship in Wilmington, NC this year. The annual PGA TOUR event was moved to Eastern North Carolina for one time while the traditional host, Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, prepared for the 2017 PGA Championship. The primary beneficiary of this year’s Wells Fargo Championship was The First Tee of Greater Wilmington, which received nearly $300,000 and opened its new facility during tournament week. The tournament also donated over $200,000 to the USO of North Carolina through the Patriot Supporter and Tickets for Troops programs. Donations were also made to numerous other local organizations that assisted with the operation of the tournament, including New Hanover Schools, Wilmington Food Bank, Boy Scouts of Wilmington and various other 501(c)(3) organizations. “One of our primary goals in
Wilmington was to make a positive impact on the community whether it was through charitable contributions and awareness, a positive economic impact or providing a first-class experience for the community this past spring,” Kendall Alley, chairman of the Board of Champions for Education said. “We could not have done this without the help of Wells Fargo, our corporate partners, the members of Eagle Point Golf Club, the devoted fans who poured into the gate all week and the numerous volunteers, who shared their time for these worthy efforts.” Since the tournament’s inception in 2003, the Wells Fargo Championship has not only helped raise awareness for local and regional charitable organizations within Charlotte, NC and Wilmington, NC, it also has contributed a combined $20 million-plus in both communities. “We are proud to continue our support for the Wells Fargo Championship,” Thomas Cline, Region Bank President for Wells Fargo said. “We helped bring the tournament to Wilmington this year so we could put a spotlight on Eastern North Carolina.
As a company, we are focused on helping build strong, vibrant communities and making a positive difference. These charitable organizations are all doing that right here in Wilmington. In addition to charitable donations, PGA TOUR events such as the Wells Fargo Championship are estimated to bring an economic impact between $40 and $60 million to the cities in which they are staged. In 2015, Wells Fargo became a National Trustee for The First Tee and pledged $1 million to the program. Wells Fargo also established the Succeeding Together contest for participants of The First Tee around the country to earn the opportunity to attend the tournament and play in the Wednesday Pro-Am. This year, 16-year-old Gerry Jones, Jr. a member of The First Tee Hampton Roads, VA, was the contest winner and played with Phil Mickelson at Eagle Point Golf Club. The Wells Fargo Championship will be held in Charlotte, NC at Quail Hollow Club April 30-May 6 in 2018 and April 29-May 5 in 2019.

Recent testing of the local mosquito pools confirmed one positive sample of West Nile Virus (WNV) in New Hanover County. The public should not be alarmed, but should be vigilant in protecting themselves from mosquito bites. New Hanover County Health Department’s Vector Control monitors sites throughout the county, including coastal areas, for mosquito production and helps to control the mosquito population in the county through active surveillance, community education, and mosquito spraying. “Human incidence of West Nile Virus is rare, but remains a dangerous disease. There is no cure and no vaccine available for people, so citizens should protect themselves by preventing mosquito bites,” says New Hanover County Health Director Phillip Tarte. “Minimize unprotected outdoor exposure at dawn and dusk, the times during the day when mosquito activity peaks. Additional protective measures include applying insect repellent and
wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants. New Hanover County Health Department will continue proactive surveillance and control activities to identify mosquito-borne illnesses in an effort to protect our citizens and visitors of the county.” The young, elderly, and immunocompromised populations are at greatest risk, and WNV can result in death. There are usually no symptoms in most people who become infected with WNV. About 1 in 5 people who are infected will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of WNV disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months. Less than 1% of people who are infected will develop a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues). The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis.

North Carolina Symphony opens Wilmington series Musicians of the North Carolina Symphony are eager to share the deeply emotional and evocative music of Rachmaninoff and Beethoven in the opening concert of the Wilmington series, September 30 at the Wilson Center. The award-winning young pianist Micah McLaurin will join for Rachmaninoff’s dazzling Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. Principal Flute Anne Whaley Laney describes the music of Rachmaninoff as “Romanticism at its height,” with “wonderful tunes, thick orchestrations, and a lushness that’s unbeatable.” The Rhapsody is one of Rachmaninoff’s most popular works and a favorite showpiece
for pianists. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, “Pastoral,” is one of his few examples of programmatic music—that is, music designed to evoke a specific idea or atmosphere. The fivemovement symphony conjures various countryside vignettes, with each movement given a descriptive title: Awakening of cheerful feelings on arriving in the country; Scene by the brook; Merry assembly of country folk; Thunderstorm; and Shepherd’s song. The dramatic fourth movement, Thunderstorm is a climatic and memorable moment for both musicians and audiences. Associate Concertmaster Dovid Friedlander recalls first hearing the “Pastoral” Symphony in Disney’s Fantasia as a child. “I remember thinking how great it was that somebody could write music about a thunderstorm,” he says. “At the beginning of the movement, you hear eighth notes that portray raindrops starting to fall to the ground. Then—boom!—the craziness starts, with explosions of thunder and lightning.” “My role in Beethoven’s Sixth is brief, but dramatic,” adds Elizabeth Lunsford, piccolo. “The piccolo imitates the howling wind and flashing lightning of an approaching thunderstorm. It’s one of the earliest examples of the use of the piccolo to imitate nature in an orchestral work.” Concert-goers are invited to learn more about the music at the Symphony’s free pre-concert talk at the Wilson Center at 6:30pm. discussion covering all topics presented by the speaker.

Editorial/Opinion County Manager’s Message By Chris Coudriet New Hanover County Manager
Project Grace And The Possibility Of Redevelopment In January, the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners entered into a contract with Wilmington Downtown, Inc. and Benchmark Planning to conduct a study on a county-owned downtown block. The study has been completed and the results have been shared at public meetings with the New Hanover County Commissioners, as well as Wilmington City Council. The purpose of this study was to realize the untapped potential of this underutilized downtown property, understand the constraints of the site, and develop a recommendation that maximizes the block’s value and opportunities for New Hanover County citizens – both in terms of services and taxable property. The study presented several viable and appealing options that transform the downtown block into a hub for learning, activity and growth. The redevelopment option that has generated the majority of public comments and questions has been option four, which includes co-locating the downtown library and the Cape Fear Museum of History and Science. This option would give residents the opportunity to visit a modern library then step next door to a traveling exhibit in a new and relocated museum. This redevelopment option could bring apartments, shops, offices, a hotel and ample parking to this block – providing opportunities for New Hanover County citizens and visitors to experience added amenities in our growing downtown. These opportunities would be possible through a public-private partnership between New Hanover County and a private developer to collaborate and achieve a common purpose. It’s important to understand what this redevelopment option would mean for the downtown area and the county’s services, so I have outlined some of those key points below.
Library Services
The county’s main library downtown was originally designed as a Belk Department Store and has significant limitations, including the inability to expand services because of structural deficits. It is an aging structure that will need significant capital investments in the near future to ensure modern functionality and accommodate the growing needs of the community. If this block is redeveloped, the library size would increase by approximately 25 percent. The current library size is 101,000 square feet, but only 67,400 is usable space. Of that, 35,000 is used for basement storage and office space for staff, both of which would be moved to another location. With these estimates, about 32,400 square feet is needed for the downtown library’s current services; but the county
would recommend a library size of 40-45,000 square feet to accommodate future growth if it is redeveloped. The downtown library’s North Carolina Room, Law Library, community meeting rooms and children’s room would be maintained at the redeveloped downtown library. And if a modern library is built, downtown office space will be temporarily leased to ensure library services continue during construction.
Cape Fear Museum Services
Cape Fear Museum’s building was originally designed as an armory. It has been repurposed into a museum, but lacks the ability to accommodate many traveling exhibits due to ceiling heights and room sizes. It is also an aging structure and will need capital investments to ensure functionality. Its current size is 38,420 square feet and if it is moved and redeveloped, the proposed size would be 40,000 square feet. Cape Fear Museum recently completed a strategic plan that outlines the goals of engaging the community, developing new and creative ways to experience exhibits, creating an improved entry experience, and reallocating space. The Cape Fear Museum Associates and Advisory Board are supportive of the redevelopment of the museum as it aligns with their strategic goals. If it is determined that Cape Fear Museum would be relocated, a study for the desired use of the current building would be fast-tracked. This was not part of the current Project Grace study, but the county would seek direct engagement from the community to reach a decision on future uses of this site.
Moving Forward Together
Cape Fear Museum and the Public Library innovatively collaborate on programs to enhance learning experiences throughout the year. For instance, library and museum staff conduct preschool learning activities at both facilities and many programs, such as Tarheels Go Walking, travel to both locations in order to complete their experience. Building a library and museum side by side creates more synergy among these two important educational services, eliminates travel between the two for programming, and provides the opportunity to share meeting rooms, classrooms and more. The county envisions green space to be an important element of this proposal. While redevelopment may change the library’s Story Park as it is today, many of the investments within the Story Park are mobile and could be repurposed to creatively accomplish green space and components of Story Park in their design. If the museum were relocated downtown, the community would be engaged in any decision regarding the Cape Fear Museum Park.
Letters to the Editor Ugly signs
As someone who has been involved in the last 14 municipal elections at Wrightsville Beach, I am sorely disappointed to see Pat Prince’s campaign signs in the DOT right of way. Clearly Ms. Prince has not spent sufficient time in Wrightsville Beach politics to understand that sullying the entrance to our town with her signs will not get her elected. If she feels that she needs more name recognition to win, she should consider developing a track record of some sort in Wrightsville Beach. Signs, where signs have not been before, will not solve her problem. Colin Eagles Live Oak Drive, Wrightsville Beach
Hook, Line & Sinker Yet Another Tropical System Impacting Offshore Fishing By Skylar Walters
As mentioned last week, there was a small window of opportunity for anglers to head to the blue water and that they did. In fact it even managed to extend into day 2 so there was some real offshore fishing and catching going on. After that anglers had to wait and they are still waiting as Maria continues to creep by the coast. Luckily the only effect is some rough ocean conditions, some wind and very little rain. As this system heads off into the Atlantic, the force taking it is another cold front and this one is fairly potent, brining rough conditions just in time for the weekend. Water temperature have dipped into the upper seventies and are making the fish pretty aggressive. The air temperatures will be pleasant through the weekend and even with less humidify, so make sure to enjoy the sunny skies and wet a line. Those that were able to make it offshore last week before the blow, managed some pretty impressive catches with wahoo, and a lot of fish averaging in the forty to fifty pound range. The Same Ole, Swansboro Hole and Steeples all produced some fish as did some of the areas in between. Blackfin tuna were also reported being fairly common and the dolphin were eager to eat. This weekend won’t be productive due to some stiff winds, but look for the Gulf Stream fishing to produce through the remainder of the year when conditions allow. Along the beaches, the rough conditions and

current have hampered those wanting to soak a line, but when they could, the pompano and virginia mullet have been biting pretty good on fresh shrimp and sand fleas in the surf zones. Cut bait has been drawing interest from a lot of small, undersized red drum but there are a few keepers in the mix. Bluefish have made a regular fall appearance and can be caught on both artificial and natural baits. Spanish mackerel have been abundant just outside of the inlets when boaters can get out. Some decent sized spanish have also been reported being found inside the inlet in the deeper channels and waterway. Inshore, the red drum fishing has been on fire, with both slot and over slot fish being caught. As mentioned previously, if targeting the big boys, make sure your tackle is appropriate to ensure a good release. Otherwise, the areas around the docks and the creek mouths have been producing some decent action on both cut baits and soft artificial baits. Cut bait and shrimp is also drawing some interest from black drum, mainly around the oyster beds and around the bridges. Speckle trout and flounder have become more active as the water temperatures declines. Better fishing for keeper fish is being found around Carolina Beach and also the Cape Fear River but conditions are improving around the Wrightsville beach waters, so expect some good reports to start trickling in from this area soon.

Hosted by the Carolina Yacht Club, the 2017 Lightning North American Championships showcased some of the world’s best sailing talent last weekend in Wrightsville Beach. Nearly 80 boats registered for the regatta and over 240 sailors in attendance. Sailing took place in the Atlantic Ocean, where 8 races held over the four-day regatta. The Lightning, a 19-foot trailerable centerboard sloop designed in 1938, is a 3-person sailboat with a mainsail, jib, and spinnaker. The class has evolved into one of the most popular and competitive one-design racing classes.
The 39th Annual Wilmington Family YMCA Triathlon took place Saturday Sept. 23 at Wrightsville Beach. More than 600 athletes have registered for the event. The race starts at the Blockade Runner hotel with a swim in Banks Channel. The swim of 1,350 yards is unusual for a sprint distance triathlon, because the swim is a point-to-point swim that always takes place with an incoming tide. On bike, the course is flat as the race is at the coast. The one loop course takes participants over the Wrightsville Beach drawbridge and onto the mainland. The 5K run course is a one-loop design, taking place on the very popular “Loop.”
