U.S. waters comment period extended

Walk to School Day in WB

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has again extended the public comment period on the clarification of how the U.S. waters are defined. With an increasing number of comments submitted to the EPA, the agency extended the public comment period through Nov. 14 from the deadline of Oct. 20, which was the date set after the first extension. In April 2014 the EPA proposed the waters of the U.S. rule, which will aim to clarify the Clean Water Act as applied to smaller bodies of water, like streams and ditches that flow to larger bodies of water that are already protected. Part of that clarification would be definitions of those smaller waterways and areas classified as wetlands.

New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon, left, and challenger Jason Vaughn answer questions at a candidates forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear and WECT Tuesday, Oct. 7 at the New Hanover County Senior Resource Center.

Strategies to accommodate growth were among topics discussed by the four county commissioner candidates. Democrat Rob Zapple

mentioned predictions of 50,000 new county residents expected in the next 10 years as motivation to focus on smart growth. He asked, “Where are those people going to live, work, play? Where are those people going to go to school?” Republican Skip Watkins called the race one of the most important in decades as a key time to bring a balanced economy to the county. Democrat Patricia Spear questioned whether the American dream was still attainable. Republican Dr. Derrick Hickey promised to focus on developing county assets, like beach infrastructure and public education, to foster prosperity for future n See candidates Page A6

Aldermen to discuss flood zones, bike safety By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

The Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will address the issue of bike safety on the Heide Trask Drawbridge during its meeting Thursday, Oct. 9. Although the item is on the consent agenda, it is an issue garnering attention because it affects cyclists, motorists and pedestrians. Wrightsville Beach regulations do not allow cyclists to ride on town sidewalks, but with no bike lane spanning the drawbridge, many cyclists feel unsafe navigating the metal grid while sharing the road with cars. Wrightsville Beach resident Tim Taylor said he occasionally sees cyclists riding on sidewalks, weaving around kids and dogs, but he n See aldermen Page A6

More than one year after New Hanover County officials requested relief from bird monitoring requirements at the north end of Wrightsville Beach, the request has been formally passed to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for review. A formal permit modification request was put on hold while the county worked with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Fish and Wildlife Service to bring the Mason Inlet Waterbird Management Area into compliance with terms set out in the 2002 Masons Inlet relocation permit. The area was created under the permit to protect colonial waterbirds and shorebirds potentially upset by the relocation project. Layton Bedsole, county n See monitoring Page A6

Groundwater near Sutton Plant on-track for assessment

Coal ash excavation plans due in November By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

Duke Energy’s Sutton Plant is a step closer to cleanup, with a groundwater assessment work plan submitted to the N.C. Division of Water Resources for approval and coal ash excavation plans being developed for a mid-November deadline. Division of Water Resources staff is vetting groundwater assessment plans for all 14 Duke sites, submitted at the end of September. If any plan is deemed insufficient, Duke will be asked to revise and resubmit the plan. Once approved, Duke has 10 days to begin implementing the plan and 180 days to submit a report outlining water quality issues and potential threats to human health and safety. Erin Culbert, Duke Energy spokesperson, said implementation of the work plans will involve a lot of field activity, including soil tests and installation of new monitoring wells, plus conceptual modeling to predict the movement of groundwater. Some of that work has already n See sutton Page A6

City leaders at odds on Independence Boulevard extension Inland Greens funding approved By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

With a lack of consent among members of Wilmington City Council, the vote on a resolution supporting the extension of Independence Boulevard to Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway was postponed during council’s Tuesday, Oct. 7 meeting. The resolution on council’s agenda would have supported a number of items that included the extension’s position on the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization’s long-range transportation plan, encouragement of the North Carolina Department of Transportation completion of a draft environmental impact statement on the project and selection of a preferred corridor for the extension. In addition to taking issue with conflicting statements within the resolution, city council members also said they, as well as city residents, do not have a firm idea of what the extension should look like. Councilman Kevin O’Grady said his vision for the project is far from the preliminary design concept submitted by NCDOT of a raised thoroughfare wider than College Road in that area. “I think we are putting the cart before the horse here,” O’Grady said. “It is a boulevard, we can’t seem to get that across, we do not want a highway, or at least some of us don’t.” Outside of the city council’s meeting, Councilman Neil Anderson said the majority of the public is just now becoming aware of the issue. “I’m not saying I am necessarily for it the way it is, but I want it to have more public input and I don’t think that has happened,” Anderson said. “The public is just starting to respond now … I don’t feel like we have

an idea what we want, meaning the majority of Wilmingtonians.” Councilwoman Laura Padgett voiced concerns about using the Independence Boulevard corridor as the new north-south connection through the middle of the city and suggested the need to study alternative routes like connecting 17th and 23rd streets. “Let’s not leave future city councils with something that will … divide out city,” Padgett said. City manager Sterling Cheatham and city staff will have until council’s second meeting in November to reshape the resolution.

Inland Greens

Wilmington City Council approved awarding the $1.1 million contract for Phase I of the Inland Greens Project and allocated additional funding in the amount of $723,503 to complete both Phase I and II of the project during Tuesday night’s meeting. Phase I of the project will include retrofitting the drainage systems in the neighborhood with outfall piping, and the construction of a walking path and passive park on what was one side of the 18-hole par three golf course purchased by the city in 2012. With council’s approval Tuesday, work on Phase I should begin sometime in November or December. Phase II of the project will include renovating nine holes of the par three golf course, landscaping, a new parking lot, a playground, building renovations and additional site amenities. Amy Beatty, Wilmington superintendent of parks and downtown services, said city staff would put Phase II of the project out to bid before Phase I is complete and Phase II would take around five months to complete. email cole@luminanews.com

Expert addresses flood zone concerns By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

During its Tuesday, Oct. 7 meeting, the Wrightsville Beach Planning Board heard a presentation by North Carolina Sea Grant’s Spencer Rogers regarding the recently released preliminary flood zone maps. Since the maps were released, town officials and residents have discussed whether the preliminary maps are an improvement over existing maps. With more than 30 years’ experience helping private property owners, builders, designers and governmental agencies develop hurricane-resistant construction methods, Rogers said his criteria for determining whether the maps are an improvement differs from that of homeowners. “Most people care about their own house,” he said. “Cheaper insurance is good, more expensive insurance is bad. That’s not how I see it.” Rogers said he was most concerned with whether the construction standards determined by the maps were as accurate as possible.

He gave a brief history of the flood zone maps, describing how flooding from Hurricane Floyd in 1999 revealed many errors. The topography used to create the maps was inaccurate, so new maps were created using a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers model that was more fine-tuned than anything previously available. Rogers showed the planning board the current flood zone maps and the preliminary maps, pointing out areas that had changed. Several locations in the town were rezoned from VE — areas likely to see a 3-18 foot wave during a major hurricane — to AE, areas determined to be at less risk of flooding from wave action. He likened AE to still water flooding, like a lake, with the height reference the top of the floor as opposed to the lowest horizontal member with VE. One of the main areas to change from VE to AE was a stretch of oceanfront land near Johnnie Mercer’s Pier. Rogers’ explanation caused several planning board members to speak up, questioning how a storm could cause 3-foot up to 18-foot waves to hit Harbor Island houses but not oceanfront properties.

“You can’t just look at one storm necessarily,” Rogers responded, explaining the angle at which a storm makes landfall could cause certain parts of the island to be hit harder than others. “But every storm I’ve seen in 39 years of following hurricanes, the damage to the buildings has always been highest in buildings closest to the ocean,” Rogers admitted. “So I can’t explain [it].” Vivian “Zeke” Partin asked whether FEMA would consider properties on an individual basis, or only a subdivision as a whole, but Rogers said that would involve the lengthy process of hiring a surveyor. Appeals can be made during a 90-day period. Chairman Thomas “Ace” Cofer inquired about the process of a layperson challenging the elevation maps used by FEMA to develop the flood zones. Rogers said he believed FEMA would release the LIDAR (light detection and ranging) data for download on its website. Rogers will cover this same information with the board of aldermen on Thursday, Oct. 9, at its regularly scheduled meeting. email emmy@luminanews.com

A week after the Wrightsville Beach dog ordinance permitted leashed dogs back onto the beach, town officials are considering stricter enforcement. Town manager Tim Owens said a trickle of complaints necessitated the decision. “I’ve gotten a few emails about folks not carrying bags for waste, not cleaning up after their pets or not having them on a leash. So we’ll step up enforcement and make sure folks do abide by the rules,” Owens said during an Oct. 7 phone interview. No pets are allowed on the beach strand April 1 through Sept. 30. When dogs are welcomed back to the beach strand Oct. 1, owners must follow the same rules

applicable for all pets within town limits, including walkers on the loop: pets must be leashed and owners must pick up and properly dispose of all pet waste. The dog ordinance has been enforced since 1978, when all public land on the island was designated a bird sanctuary. Park ranger Shannon Slocum, who enforces town ordinances in the town and on the beach yearround, said the rules stem from health and safety issues. Pet waste left on the beach strand, on parklands and along roadways poses a water quality threat, Slocum said. Public safety is also a concern, since loose dogs can attack others or cause them to trip and injure themselves. Owens said the town might need a heavier law-enforcement presence on the beach strand during

early mornings and evenings, when many dog owners come out to enjoy the beach with their dogs. “We’ll be paying particular attention during those hours,” Owens said. Pet owners caught violating the rules face fines ranging from $250 to $1,000. “If you don’t have your little bag, and if you let it off the leash, it can accumulate,” Owens said. Slocum said he has little tolerance for common-sense issues like the dog ordinance. “The way I run the beach during the off-season is that every dog’s on a leash and everyone has to pick up behind the dogs. If they don’t like the rules here on the beach, they can go somewhere else,” Slocum said. email miriah@luminanews.com

Voting law changes proceed to Supreme Court By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

North Carolina election officials are scrambling to reinstate same-day voter registration and out-of-precinct provisional voting for the 2014 general election while the fate of the Oct. 1 appellate court ruling that reinstated the measures is considered by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Oct. 1 ruling by the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned parts of a 2013 state elections reform law, pushing state elections officials to reinstate same-day voter registration at onestop early voting sites set to open Oct. 23. By Oct. 2, state attorneys forwarded the case to U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, requesting a stay on the ruling due to its “massive and unprecedented last-minute change.” State Board of Elections

spokesperson Josh Lawson said the ruling pushed election officials to investigate ways to implement same-day registration in a network no longer equipped to handle it, although they expected immediate Supreme Court involvement. “We are looking at options. It is likely that same-day registration could involve a manual process, which would be difficult, but we are working to ensure compliance with today’s order, pending any alternative disposition before the U.S. Supreme Court,” Lawson said during an Oct. 1 phone interview. Before the 2013 law, same-day voter registration at one-stop locations was automatically processed by a statewide system with access to all elections data. The system was stripped of same-day registration capabilities in 2013. Lawson said the function could be reincorporated, but concerns about limited time to adequately test the change might lead the board to enact

manual registration instead. A manual process would require poll workers to confirm a voter’s address and precinct information to ensure the correct ballot is issued. New Hanover County Elections Director Marvin McFadyen said he would respond to any mandates handed down by the state elections board. The appeals court ruling also overturned a provision that barred ballots cast outside a voter’s registered precinct from counting. Under the 2013 law, voters who showed up outside their home precincts on Election Day were allowed to vote a provisional ballot, but the ballot was not counted. Under the Oct. 1 ruling, provisional ballots cast outside a voter’s home precinct will be considered for any race in which the voter is eligible to participate. The 2013 law, also known as House Bill 589 or the Voter Information Verification Act, enacted strict reforms, including implemented voter ID requirements, reduced early voting timeframe, eliminated same-day

voter registration and pre-registration for high school students, and prohibited out-of-precinct votes from counting. The League of Women Voters of North Carolina and North Carolina NAACP are among the plaintiffs suing the state on grounds that the law violates the U.S. Constitution and the Voting

Rights Act of 1965. An August ruling by U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Schroeder denied the groups a preliminary injunction to prevent elements of the law from going into effect while the lawsuit plays out. But the appellate court panel overturned Schroeder’s ruling 2–1.

U.S. Court of Appeals Judge James Wynn wrote in the majority opinion for the Oct. 1 ruling, “the district court got the law plainly wrong in several crucial respects.” The ruling upheld other aspects of the law, including fewer days for early voting and the soft rollout for voter ID requirements. email miriah@luminanews.com

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y P a t B ra d f o r d

Flood insurance just got more challenging to understand, plus, depending on your property location, your rate will get either better or worse. FEMA is in the process of revising the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) under the Biggert Waters changes, implemented by the Flood Insurance Affordability Act that took effect on Jan. 1, 2014. Flood insurance rates are affected by the maps that FEMA adopts. There is a meeting Thursday at Wrightsville Beach’s town hall where, in an act of kindness, Spencer Rogers, a coastal construction and erosion specialist with North Carolina Sea Grant, will speak on the changes to the maps. Make no mistake, the proposed maps make absolutely no sense. They are confusing, illogical and not tied to reality, but, he says he will do his best to address the new maps — for informational purposes. Before this meeting, it is key to go online and look at your property on the maps, plus a few other locations for familiarization. Wrong addresses, incorrect parcel ID numbers are just the beginning of this twilight zone experience. Rogers says those are there for general information purposes, but it is unnerving, nonetheless. To find your home or business on the online flood maps, type into the Google search bar: North Carolina Flood Risk Information System, or try typing into the tool bar: fris.ncgov/fris, keeping in mind this doesn’t always work. That’s why a Google search is listed first. Next: Click on North Carolina. The following screen should show the state map. Enter your address there. On the next page, top right, make sure it says Effective. This is the current map and where you should start. Locate your property on the map, then click on it so it is highlighted in aqua. Your information will come up in the box on the right. Things to pay attention to are Flood Zone: most likely this will be either a Special Flood Hazard VE or an AE, more on that in a second. Then find Base Flood Elevation: it will range from 10 feet to 18 feet (ft). For example, my house in the 600 block of the Causeway is a VE 15 ft on the Effective map. In the VE zone, the number corresponds to the height of the lowest horizontal member of the structure other than the foundation that could get hit by a wave. FEMA says properties in Zone VE have a wave component that is greater than 3 feet in height. Next, click past the nearest white line to see where the change occurs. At my house, directly across the Causeway in the marsh, it drops to a VE 14 ft. After you have looked at a few neighboring properties and you feel comfortable with the existing map, go back to the top right corner of that box, and click

on the Effective tab drop down and select Preliminary. Now repeat everything already done, noting the changes as you compare the two maps. Depending on where your property is, this can blow your mind. Many oceanfront properties have their designations lowered from VE to AE zones. The Johnnie Mercer’s Pier house, a VE 18 ft on the Existing flood map, goes down to VE 13 on the new map. However, Kings, a VE 14 ft (same as my house on the new map) goes down to AE 11 ft. This is a very important difference. AE is a lesser flood hazard, and the height reference on this one is the top of the floor. Rogers says AE flooding resembles still water flooding, like a lake, as opposed to wave action. Every house or structure in this area is, in fact, AE 11 ft, including most all of the oceanfront. Under federal guidelines (not state building regs), Rogers says AE 11 ft allows for building on slab and even a basement. In this anomaly, the oceanfront went down as much as 5 feet, and is AE, while most of Harbor Island including its waterfront and interior lots are VE with high numbers. It is worth noting some of South HI, including the exposed Point Place Drive, are VE 14 ft on the Preliminary map, while the Bakers’ house at the Kenan Creek bridge and two adjacent buildings at Lookout Harbor on the north end of HI are AE 12 ft. Want more? On the Preliminary map, Shell Island is also AE 12 ft, as is Rep. Rick Catlin’s Parmele beach house and the highly exposed public works department out at the end. The Oceanic is VE 17 ft, however the Surf Suites is a surprising AE 11 ft. Incredibly, some locations like the Blockade Runner are noted as only having a .2 percent chance of flood contained in the channel. Staying on the south end, the mayor’s house is AE 11 ft, but three houses north it jumps to VE 17 ft. Know the section at the end of east Atlanta and Columbia streets the ocean seems to want to take? The rating drops from VE 14 to AE 11 ft. How absurd is that? On the mainland, the mixed use new construction at the old Babies Hospital base flood elevation has gone up as much as 3 ft. Rogers says there are similar patterns in many places — that the reality and flood map representation don’t meet. Rogers will attempt to explain what the maps are proposing. He says he can’t explain why these risk distributors are showing up the way they are. Flood insurance rates are determined by these maps. There is an appeal process, but challenging these preliminary maps will be expensive and not so easy. This is a messed-up deal. It is pretty important you look at these maps and then attend the meeting.

generations. All candidates cautiously supported use of incentives to lure businesses to the area, but only with stipulations to ensure the investment provided a return to the local economy. Zapple called incentives an important tool in the county toolbox to create a vibrant economy. Spear said she supports incentives because businesses will ultimately contribute to the county tax base, create jobs, and generate money to be infused back into the local economy. Watkins suggested businesses meet benchmarks each year to ensure the incentives are good investments. Hickey said he would prefer to eventually see corporate tax reform to eliminate the need for incentives. Candidates also weighed in on two bond referendums slated for the Nov. 4 ballot: a $160 million bond to fund security, technology and building infrastructure improvements for all county schools and a $44 million transportation bond All candidates pledged support for the school bond, adding it would cost the county more money in the long run to pay for needed improvements if deferred. Spear and Zapple both voiced support for the transportation bond. Watkins and Hickey declined to say whether they support the transportation bond, but both cited pressing problems with traffic congestion as priorities. The four candidates are battling for two open seats on the board.

among other issues. All candidates hesitated to confidently assert that acts of school violence could not occur in New Hanover County, but most agreed the school system is working within its limits to make schools safe. Democrat Chris Meek suggested causes of student stress be evaluated to prevent acts of violence. Democrat Tom Gale said he would like to see smaller classes and more involved counselors to prevent issues. Republican candidate and current school board chairman Don Hayes noted the proposed school bond would improve safety and security at all county schools. When questioned about the impact of charter schools on the local community, Meek and Gale both supported charter schools in theory as labs for testing new educational practices but questioned their actual success, especially at local charter schools generating profit from taxpayer dollars. Hayes and Republican board member and candidate Janice Cavenaugh both championed

school choice, citing board support for the unsuccessful 2011 effort to reopen D.C. Virgo Preparatory Academy as a charter school. Republican Bruce Shell supported charter schools as an alternate solution for some children, but said he understood concerns about money funneled away from public schools and into charter schools. Democrat Emma Saunders cited different rules and requirements as the root of her opposition to charter schools. Republican candidate and current board member Ed Higgins was unable to attend.

New Hanover County Sheriff race

Democratic incumbent Ed McMahon touted his experience in office since 2009, citing his ability to turn challenges into opportunities. His opponent, Republican Jason Vaughn, suggested the time is ripe for new leadership. “We know what’s in place right now is not working. You see it on the front headlines of our news every day,” Vaughn said.

McMahon reported a decrease in crime during his tenure of 16.9 percent in the unincorporated areas, where he is constitutionally required to provide law enforcement, and also within city limits through cooperation with the Wilmington Police Department. Vaughn called for cooperation between school resource officers, the gang task force and police departments in county beach towns to tackle gang violence. He said school resource officers understand some dynamics of local gangs from time in schools. McMahon also pointed to schools as a venue to prevent gang activity through diversion programs and the presence of school resource officers. While the sheriff’s office does partner with city, state and federal organizations to handle existing problems, McMahon stressed the importance of prevention efforts. “We can’t arrest this problem away,” he said. Election Day is Nov. 4. Oct. 10 is the last day to register to vote.

begun at the Sutton site, Culbert said, to prevent a known plume of pollutants in the water from heading toward drinking water supplies, particularly the Flemington community less than one mile from the plant. Duke partnered with Cape Fear Public Utility Authority in 2013 to run a new water line to the Flemington community, and with the Division of Water Resources to install new monitoring wells to

the area to know how inlet stabilization impacts change during the life of the project. “We are trying to determine the level of appropriate monitoring, because this is an ongoing project and we want to document effects good and bad on the project, particularly on the piping plover, but also on other species,” Matthews said. Matthews said Fish and Wildlife’s review of the permit could yield different or reduced bird monitoring requirements. “We’re in the midst of talking about what kinds of information we’re looking for. It may be we’re looking for something that would not require a bird expert, but certainly it would require a certain amount of knowledge about bird species and their behaviors,”

Matthews said. When Audubon North Carolina monitored the area, it produced reports of all shorebirds and colonial waterbirds using the area. After the expiration of Audubon’s contract in September 2013, the county chose not to renew it. The county was not required to log nests and eggs laid during the 2014 nesting season as permit negotiation discussions continued. The Mason Inlet Preservation Group, comprised of property owners on the north end of Wrightsville Beach and Figure Eight Island who shoulder the cost of Masons Inlet maintenance through periodic property assessments, have suggested a shift to more volunteer labor for waterbird management area monitoring.

Bedsole said the county will seriously consider possible contractors once new responsibilities emerge from permit negotiations. Fish and Wildlife Service officials have 135 days to create a new biological opinion, which assesses impact to species using the area in conjunction with other issues affecting the species as a whole. Necessary terms and conditions for the area, including bird monitoring requirements, will be determined by the biological opinion. Tyler Crumbley, U.S. Army Corps regulatory project manager, said the county has also requested a different timeframe for maintenance dredging of Masons Inlet, stretching a three-year cycle to five years. email miriah@luminanews.com

track movement of the plume. Culbert stressed that nearby drinking water sources continue to meet all state and federal standards. Nick Torrey, Southern Environmental Law Center staff attorney, hopes new, more thorough action will result from the groundwater assessment work plans for Sutton. “This site has been studied to death for about 10 years, and they’ve produced these big reports about the groundwater pollution at Sutton,” Torrey said during an

Oct. 7 phone interview. “Much of the work they say they’re going to do in this assessment work plan has already been done. It would be a real shame if Duke used more study as an attempt to try to delay what it really needs to do, which is move that ash out of there.” Torrey is involved in ongoing state and federal lawsuits filed by the Southern Environmental Law Center against Duke Energy for violations of the Clean Water Act. Torrey said moving the pollutant — coal ash — away from water

sources is the bottom line when it comes to protecting nearby water sources. “That’s the top priority. That’s the source of pollution. You can’t do anything to fix the groundwater problems until you get rid of the ash that’s polluting on an ongoing basis,” Torrey said. Culbert agreed that groundwater quality concerns inform the company’s plans to manage coal ash stored at all 14 faculties. “Groundwater is a key element for how the company is planning

to approach closure decisions. At the Sutton site, it’s going to be a little different because we already know the outcome. We already know that the site will be excavated and those ash basins will be closed ... and going to a lined solution,” Culbert said during an Oct. 7 phone interview. Excavation plans for ash basins at four retired coal-powered plants, including the Sutton site, are due to the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources by Nov. 15. Ash removal will begin

n waters comments to the EPA about the rule change through the Southern Environmental Law Center. Giles said the federation views the potential change as a positive step toward ensuring the protection of the nation’s waterways and applauded the extension of the comment period. “They have received such a large response and they see a need for more time for people to make informed comments,” Giles said during a Tuesday, Oct. 7 phone interview. “There are people who are saying the sky is falling and here comes the government again … but it is trying to clarify what the waters of the U.S. are and what the steps are if you do have an activity that is going to affect the waters.” One of the local organizations concerned about the possible rule change is the Business Alliance for a Sound Economy (BASE). Tyler Newman, BASE senior governmental affairs director, said an unintended consequence of the rule change would be higher costs and more regulation for coastal businesses and municipalities if a permitting process is required for activity in those smaller bodies of water. “When a beach town tries to proactively clean its ditches out before or after a hurricane, they are going to have to go through the [U.S. Army Corps of Engineers] permitting process,” Newman said during a Tuesday, Oct. 7 phone interview. “If you think about how long it takes to go through the corps permitting process now, how do you do that for maintenance issues?” Across North Carolina and the country a wide array of organizations and legislators have voiced concerns about the potential change. All four members of North Carolina’s congressional delegation have at least questioned the rule, with U.S. Senator Richard Burr opposed to it, and

n monitoring shore protection manager, said bird monitoring performed by Audubon North Carolina through 2013 suggests the project had no adverse impact on the birds. “Our intent was initiated from the previous 12 years of monitoring that has shown no significant negative effects,” Bedsole said during an Oct. 7 phone interview. But Kathy Matthews, Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, doubts all monitoring requirements will be dropped. One of Matthews’ main concerns is how dynamism in that environment could impact shorebirds and colonial waterbirds, especially species of national concern like piping plovers. She said fewer birds are tempted to use the area in recent years as more vegetation crops up — including piping plovers, which prefer open, sandy habitat. Matthews said the agency needs to know not only where the birds are going, but whether future changes to the land bring them back. “Over time, that area is changing. There are some areas of overwash on that vegetated spit and if we have another winter with a lot of overwash, there might be more nesting there next year. But if we won’t know if we don’t monitor,” Matthews said during an Oct. 3 phone interview. Since the Masons Inlet relocation project is the first of its kind in North Carolina, Matthews said it is important to keep an eye on

said many of them are simply not aware of the sidewalk regulations. He acknowledged it was hard to ask bikers to stay off the sidewalks when the alternative, riding with traffic on the bridge, was so dangerous. “Quite frankly, I do think it would be unsafe for them to ride in the road there unless they make more of a bike path,” Taylor said. Cape Fear Cyclists president Richard Knight agreed, saying the key to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians sharing the roadways peacefully was having clear designated paths for each mode of transportation. “I think it would help to have a definitive avenue [for cyclists],” Knight said during an Oct. 7 phone interview. “I don’t think it will be more than two or three feet wide, but then cars will understand that’s where the cyclists are supposed to be.” Jim Iannucci also weighed in on the issue, speaking from the point of view of both a cyclist and a town engineer for New Hanover County. He suggested similar solutions, voicing concerns about the difficulty of riding across the metal rungs on the bridge, especially after a rainstorm. “On the new grid, the metal stands up, they’re called nubs, and they’re a lot more pronounced,” Iannucci said during an Oct. 7 phone interview. “It’s more difficult to get a good line and ride

New Hanover County officials’ request of relief from bird monitoring requirements at the north end of Wrightsville Beach has been formally passed to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for review.

Oct. 9–15, 2014 across, so they might put a small mesh grid down ... a flatter grid where bikes could go and signs that say ‘caution when wet.’” A memo from the Cape Fear Cyclists and the Wilmington Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization asks the board to consider installing metal plates to create an even surface where cyclists can ride more comfortably and safely. In addition to bike safety, the aldermen will also consider whether to challenge the new FEMA flood rate maps. Several residents have expressed concerns regarding the new flood designation for Harbor Island. Harbor Island remains in the VE zone, while oceanfront and other east street properties, as well as the commercial businesses, including Kings Beachwear behind Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, were dropped from VE to the AE zone. Although Harbor Island’s low elevation could play a factor into its high-risk flood zone, residents and town officials question how Harbor Island could see higher wave action than oceanfront locations. The board will hear a presentation on the maps by North Carolina Sea Grant’s Spencer Rogers, who has more than 30 years’ experience helping private property owners, builders, designers, and governmental agencies to develop hurricane-resistant techniques. Rogers will try to explain the maps and outline the appeals process. email emmy@luminanews.com

U.S. Congressmen Mike McIntyre and Walter E. Jones Jr. voting in favor of a bill in September that would block the change. “If you didn’t know anything about it and you saw the range of groups who have issued formal comments … there are few if no issues where those groups are on the same page; but, on this, they are, so that should be an automatic red flag to everyone,” Newman said. In a presentation on the issue during Wilmington City Council’s Monday, Oct. 6, agenda briefing, Wilmington environmental engineer Phil Prete said he had a different understanding of the proposal from Newman. “In my reading of the rule it is not really a regulatory expansion but rather a clarification and regulatory containment,” Prete said. “It reduces the regulatory burden by providing for fewer disputed cases. They really don’t bring new terms into the rule but what they do is provide definitions to clarify terms that were already in the rules.” Wilmington legislative affairs liaison Tony McEwan said one could easily connect the dots to make the case for either point of view. “You talk to government officials and they will refute all this,” McEwan said. “However, you could very easily see how the dots could be connected to it being a very dire situation, for our region particularly.” Giles said it would be tough to forecast the local impacts until the final language version of the change is released, which would not happen until after at least one other round of revisions following the close of the public comment period. “I think the government and EPA regulators are trying to get as much public comment as possible because they saw the overwhelming response,” Giles said. email cole@luminanews.com

once the plans are approved and permits are granted. Duke announced a partnership with the University of North Carolina Charlotte to form the National Ash Management Advisory Board Oct. 2. Culbert characterized the panel as containing experts from a broad, diverse range of relevant disciplines. The panel’s feedback will guide implementation of Duke’s goal to apply site-specific, scientifically sound solutions for the remaining 10 sites. email miriah@luminanews.com

Dogs strut the catwalk By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

Dogs took to the catwalk Thursday, Oct. 2 for a Canines & Couture Fashion Show and Pup Strut to Stop Puppy Mills. Guests gathered at 1900 Restaurant and Lounge in Lumina Station to watch 25 rescue dogs dressed in glamorous costumes walk down the runway. The event cost $10 and all proceeds benefitted local animal needs. Representatives of various organizations attended to share information about puppy mills. Karen Loveless, treasurer of the political action committee North Carolina Voters for Animal Welfare, said the organization supports officials who will work to enact stricter regulations for dog breeders. “If you sell to a pet store, there are certain guidelines,” she said. “But if you sell to the public there’s nothing to say you have to take the dogs out of the cage, ever.” Several politicians were in attendance to show support for puppy mill regulations. Senator Rick Catlin said he saw firsthand the harm caused by puppy mills.

His dog, Sophie, was rescued from a puppy mill in Brunswick County. “She was in bad shape,” he said. “She had never seen the world, really. It was quite moving. We got calls from some friends to see if we’d be foster parents, so we filled out the paperwork, and after about an hour, we decided to adopt her.” Event organizer Bridgett Rowley had a similar experience with her rescue dogs, Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler. As Rowley made final preparations to begin the fashion show, her mom, Nancy Joos, held Scarlett O’Hara. “She was rescued from the Brunswick County puppy mill two years ago,” Joos explained. “I didn’t realize how bad it was until Bridget got Scarlett, and I can’t even look at the pictures [from the puppy mill].” Joos’ friend, Furever Friends Rescue employee Sharon Smith, told Rhett Butler’s story. “He was found, somebody had dumped him,” she said. “His eye was not intact, so they had to bring him to the animal hospital … and that’s very typical, eye problems and other issues, when they come

from puppy mills. Somebody just didn’t want to deal with the issues.” Smith said Rhett Butler’s story at least had a happy ending. “Now, he’s madly in love with Scarlett,” she said. “So life is good, it was meant to be.” Families and animal welfare advocates gathered around the catwalk as the fashion show began. Each rescue dog walked down the runway to cheers from the crowd. After the fashion show, Dr. Ernie Ward, a veterinarian who has been featured on “The Today Show,”

addressed the audience. “I’ve seen so many dogs that were broken in spirit and yet

with a kind touch, a compassionate heart, and sometimes a lot of work, we’re able to revive that

love, that spirit, and that’s what we’re here to celebrate tonight.” email emmy@luminanews.com

Roasting and toasting the oyster By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Just after the beginning of the North Carolina oyster season, two opportunities to shuck all you can eat are popping up around Wrightsville Beach and Wrightsville Sound. The first is the annual Airlie Gardens Oyster Roast 6-10 p.m., Friday, Oct. 17, carrying on a yearly tradition on the grounds dating back to the days of the Joneses. Janine Powell, Airlie Gardens director of donor relations, said there will be 700 tickets on sale this year and the number of attendees has steadily grown

each year. “It is a great annual tradition for Airlie and it is perfect weather for oysters now,” Powell said. “Do not wait until the last minute, though, because we will sell out and will not sell any tickets the night of the event.” Tickets are $80 per person and include parking, oysters, and a buffet of fried fish, barbecue and sides. Chefs from downtown Wilmington’s The Pilot House restaurant will be on hand steaming the fresh oysters all evening. Ticket sales will benefit Airlie Gardens’ environmental education programs. The Wrightsville Beach Chamber of Commerce will also

host its second annual oyster roast fundraiser on Crystal Pier at the Oceanic Restaurant from 4-7 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2. Due to the inaugural event’s large crowd, chamber board member Sue Bulluck said ticket sales would be limited to 350 this year at $30 per person. Ticket purchase includes allyou-can-eat oysters and sides like corn on the cob, hushpuppies and slaw. For those reluctant to feast on the estimated 40 bushels of fresh, local oysters, a boiled shrimp plate will also be available. Bulluck said tickets would be available soon at Roberts Grocery. email cole@luminanews.com

Bringing the Beach Together

r i a Paws in mid

By Emmy Errante, Staff Writer

“Woof! Woof! Woof!” Maverick, a chocolate Labrador retriever, jumped up and down in the grass at Wrightsville Beach Park, his eyes focused intently on the plastic disc in Patrick Smith’s hand. “Throw! Throw! Throw!” Smith translated, tossing the disc through the air and watching Maverick bound after it. “He’s 10, going on 2.” Maverick, with all of his youthful energy, took on dogs half his age during the 21st annual Bark in the Park Oct. 4. The competition, also known as the Skyhoundz Hyperflite Canine Disc Championships, welcomed all breeds and ability levels. Minutes before the competition, event director Katie Ryan said only 13 dogs were registered, but she expected several last-minute sign-ups. Standing near the registration table, Beth Potts considered entering her dog, Chesty Puller. She said she named the yellow Labrador after a decorated U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant to honor her son, who is a U.S. Marine Corps infantry officer. Potts watched Chesty pant heavily despite the mild temperatures, debating whether to enter. “He’s a fantastic swimmer, great with a tennis ball, but we never do Frisbee,” she said. “We’ve never done [Bark in the Park] before, so I don’t know what he’ll do.” The rules for competition were not extremely complicated. “Each competitor’s team has two 60-second rounds to throw the disc,” Ryan explained. “You accumulate points based on the distance [of the throw] and whether the dog catches it, and if the dog catches it with all four paws off the ground, they get an extra half point.” For Stretch Taylor, standing nearby with his Doberman pinschers Panama and Cherry Bomb, there was never any question whether to enter the event. Taylor has competed in all 21 seasons of Bark in the Park. “We like to come show people that Dobermans are good dogs. Like this one,” Taylor said, pointing to Panama. “He’s obnoxiously friendly. They’re just big lap dogs.” With the athleticism of all the dogs competing, Taylor added, Bark in the Park is just as much a test of the owner’s throwing ability. “The only limit he’s got is how far I can throw it,” Taylor said. “He outruns it a lot of the time. If I don’t get it out in front of him before he takes off … he just expects it to be in the same place it was the last time.” Taylor said although he enters his Dobermans in a variety of disc competitions, Bark in the Park is one of his favorite events.

“It’s one of the best ones I’ve been too, including regionals,” he said. “It’s usually a good crowd of people and a lot of dogs, and nobody’s out to cutthroat you, everybody cheers for everybody.” As Bill Hill stood nearby tossing a heavy rubber disc for his 3-year-old boxer mix, Mr. Tappy, he voiced similar concerns. He said he wasn’t able to throw the rubber disc as far as he would a plastic disc, but Mr. Tappy had destroyed all of his plastic discs. Mr. Tappy would not have any problem catching the disc, Hill added, but bringing it back would be another issue. “It turns into a game of, ‘Ok, now come chase me!’” Hill said. “And then once you catch him, it’s tug-of-war.” Indeed, as Hill and Mr. Tappy began their first 60-second round in the competition, the dog ran circles around Hill, the disc clutched in his mouth. “Come on, Mr. Tappy, come on, I’ll give you a belly rub!” Hill yelled, prompting laughter from the spectators. As each team stepped up to compete, the growing crowd of onlookers was treated to playful antics from Maverick, Mr. Tappy and Chesty Puller, as well as spectacular athleticism from the Doberman pinschers. Two dogs from Winston-Salem, a whippet named Wii and a border collie mix named Wyatt, accumulated the highest scores of the event. Their handler, Todd Pope, said he takes them to compete in similar events around the middle of the state. He made the two-hour trip for Bark in the Park, he said, because it is a fun competition in a beautiful coastal location. Pope acknowledged although he was proud of Wii’s skills, having such an athletic dog around the house presented a challenge most dog owners face to some extent. When not leaping for a disc, Pope said, Wii puts his jumping ability to other uses. “He can jump flat-footed on the kitchen counter,” Pope said. “I can’t leave any food around, nothing at all.”

En plein air artists paint the town By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Moments in time and scenes from around Wrightsville Beach will be preserved and showcased during the first Wrightsville Beach Museum of History en plein air art show and wet paint sale Saturday, Oct. 11, from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Museum director Madeline Flagler said the idea for a Wrightsville Beach en plein air art show and wet paint sale came to her after a similar event was hosted at the Latimer House in May. Beginning Friday, Oct. 10, the 30 entered en plein air painters will stop by the museum to register their blank canvases and then have until 2 p.m. Saturday to complete up to five works. Flagler said the artists have been instructed to stay within the confines of Wrightsville Beach for their subject matter. Wilmington native and prolific en plein air painter Barbara Bear Jamison collaborated with Flagler to plan the event and was excited Wrightsville Beach will be the subject of an en plein air show. “We thought it would be great

to do something on Wrightsville Beach because it is so historic,” Jamison said. “There are going to be 30 really fine artists around the beach and we might paint the same scene but no two will look the same.” For Jamison, the craft combines two things she loves — being outdoors and painting. The immediacy of the method and the task of capturing the light in one specific moment in time also appeal to her. “It takes you into a fresher look for painting because it is all about the light and capturing the colors at that moment,” she said. “You focus on the light and the dark. I paint the whole scene in different shades of red first. … I try to capture it really fast in red and then go back with the other colors after that.” Passersby will be able to catch Jamison and the other painters at work around the beach Friday through Saturday. Collectors may purchase the works Saturday during the show and sale. With the subject matter of Wrightsville Beach, Flagler said the scenes portrayed would be familiar views but also slightly different depending on what time

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

For the 16 th year, antique British and European automobile enthusiasts in the British Motor Club of the Cape Fear will gather for the club’s annual Brits at the Beach car show Saturday, Oct. 11. The club’s annual car show was moved to Wrightsville Beach Park from Poplar Grove for the 2013 event and saw a record number of cars and attendees. Event chairman Eric Robinson said the club expected 200300 patrons last year but drew closer to 500. Bringing together all types of antique British autos like Jaguar, MG, Triumph, Austin Healey, Mini Cooper and Rolls Royce, Robinson said the show has something for everyone. Robinson is particularly excited to see an early 1950s Bentley Corniche. A similar model sold in a 2012 London auction for £537,000. The 2013 show drew a large number of Sunbeam Alpine roadsters and for 2014, Robinson said a collection of the more rare and expensive Sunbeam Tigers would also make an appearance from South Carolina. In addition to the British autos, other international car manufacturers will be represented, like Italian icon Ferrari. Robinson, who is from England, owns a 1971 Triumph Stag and found the British Motor Club of the Cape Fear shortly

after relocating to the area. “I am actually from Britain and my hometown was where most of the Triumphs were built,” Robinson said. “I have an old car and was looking for a club to join when I got here.” Along with local British car owners, Robinson said the show brings in antique autos from surrounding states like South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Often, those that travel from longer distances have to be trailered. “Particularly if they are older cars, they don’t like to travel that long of distance because they are long in the tooth now and need to be taken care of,” Robinson said. There will be awards for best in show and for the top three cars from each class. This year’s trophies will sit atop a marble base with a gas pump for first place, a piston for second and a spark plug for third. Best attendance within the club and furthest distance traveled will also be awarded. For patrons, there will be an onsite food vendor and 50/50 raffles with proceeds benefitting charities selected by club members. Charities that have benefitted from the event in the past include Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina, Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, Doctors Without Borders and Lower Cape Fear Hospice and LifeCareCenter.

Museum shrimperoo honors Wright and Stone Chris Stone was interested in preserving Wrightsville Beach’s history as well, although Madeline Flagler, Wrightsville Beach Museum of History director, said part of his legacy will also be his impact on the beach’s future. When he died in April, Flagler said, his family requested any donations be made in his name to the museum, which would in turn use the money to create a program to educate children about various aspects of the beach. “Kids were such a large part

of his life,” Flagler said. “He felt like they were such an important part of our future.” Flagler said the goal would be to teach children about shrimping, sailing, waterskiing and fishing, just as Stone taught his own nieces, nephews, sons, daughters and grandchildren those skills. The fund has reached $7,000. “I think it really demonstrates how much he meant to people in this town,” Flagler said. After Flagler gave a brief speech recognizing Stone and Holman, guests helped themselves to

shrimp and side dishes provided by Middle of the Island while the South Hammock Bluegrass Band entertained. Many of the guests, like Maggie Aardema, Nan Graham and Knox Pierson, were long-time Wrightsville Beach residents. “I was on the board at the museum for six years,” Aardema said. “I really think there’s a lot of support in the community for the Wrightsville Beach Museum. It’s imperative that the history of our beach be preserved.” email emmy@luminanews.com

By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

One hundred and fifty guests crowded into Lumina Hall Sunday, Oct. 5, piling plates with steaming shrimp to raise money for the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History and to honor two of its greatest advocates. The inaugural shrimperoo was held in 2009 at the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History, with Chris Stone and Wright Holman boiling shrimp for around 30 guests. With the death of Stone and Holman in 2014 and 2011 respectively, the annual Wright

“He was always big on preserving the history of the beach instead of tearing it down and building new houses.” Holman Shrimperoo now serves to honor the two men and recognize their dedication to preserving the town’s history. Guests recounted memories of

Stone and Holman, both of whom lived on or near Wrightsville Beach throughout their lives. Kyle Lackey, who took over shrimp-boiling duties this year, said Holman worked to preserve Wrightsville Beach’s history by serving on the museum’s board of directors, and also through his approach to architecture and construction. “He was always big on preserving the history of the beach instead of tearing it down and building new houses,” Lackey said. “It was always about restoring the old [houses], that was his mindset.”

Local residents have a chance to support children’s learning while enjoying the style and comfort of opulent yachts. Saturday, Oct. 18, the Children’s Museum of Wilmington will hold its fourth annual YachtVenture fundraiser at MarineMax in Wrightsville Beach. Functioning more like a boat show than a typical fundraiser, YachtVenture gives attendees access to luxury vessels on loan from area yacht owners. Olivia Causby, Children’s Museum of Wilmington marketing and development coordinator, said unlike most of the museum’s events, YachtVenture is designed for an adult audience. “YachtVenture is modeled after a boat show in Monaco,” Causby said. “It’s a big, elegant red-carpet event, far different from what the children’s museum usually does. We’re normally very kid focused and hands on and laid back. YachtVenture is definitely adults only.” During YachtVenture, guests have the opportunity to walk the red carpet, board and explore more than 10 yachts, dine on gourmet food, visit the complimentary bar and listen to live music. “We have 11 yachts as of now, but that changes every day,” Causby said. “Our current largest yacht is 65½ feet, and our smallest is 39 feet. Boats need to be about 40 feet in length to be included — otherwise, it’s not a yacht.” New to YachtVenture for 2014 is the inclusion of the City of Wilmington’s 50-foot-long fireboat. “We try to mix it up and have something a little different every year,” Causby said. “That way, people have something new to look forward to. We’re really excited about the fireboat. It’s got hoses and fireworks and all kinds of amazing things it can do.”

In addition to exploring yachts, attendees may also participate in a silent auction and raffle. “We’ve had some amazing prizes in the past,” Causby said. “We’ve had hunting trips and spa vacations. I know last year we had sold-out Justin Timberlake tickets. There’s so much you can walk away from the event with.” Local band L-Shape Lot returns this year to provide live music for the fundraiser. “I know [L-Shape Lot] are good friends with some of our steering committee for YachtVenture,” Causby said. “They’re very popular and are always a good draw for the event.” Causby said the luxury and spectacle of the event are the major draws for YachtVenture. “I don’t know of too many other events like this in the area,” Causby said. “Even for people who grew up in Wilmington … there’s a good chance they’ve never set foot on a yacht. It’s a way for people to experience that elevated lifestyle that most of us aren’t privy to.” Causby said the children’s museum hopes this year’s YachtVenture will be its most successful yet. “We brought in about $30,000-$35,000 last year in net revenue,” she said. “That makes it our largest fundraiser of the year. We’re a 501(c) (3) nonprofit, so we do rely on donations and grants and people supporting us to keep our doors open. We’re hoping for $50,000 this year — it’s ambitious, but we hope it’ll be our best year yet. We’ve got more of a reputation now.” YachtVenture will take place 6-10 p.m. at MarineMax, 130 Short St. in Wrightsville Beach. Tickets are $100 per person prior, $125 per person day of the event. Raffle tickets are $100 each. Purchase tickets online at www. yachtventure.org or www.playwilmington.org Tickets may also be purchased at the Children’s Museum of Wilmington.

Beach building rebounds B

By Miriah Hamrick, Staff Writer

uilding permits granted in Wrightsville Beach during the first quarter of the 201415 fiscal year suggest the industry on the island continues to recover with new commercial and residential construction peppered with repairs and remodels. Atlantic Builders NC crews began construction on a two-story commercial building in a small lot beside Bluewater Waterfront Grill, at 3½ Marina St., in September. Wrightsville Beach Marina is behind the project, which progressed into the framing stage the week of Oct. 6. Sam Clary, Wrightsville Beach Marina dockmaster, said the two stories of professional office space, boasting about 800 square feet of heated space and 1,000 square feet total space per floor, were designed to mesh well with existing homes and businesses on the street. “I think it’s something that will accent the area,” Clary said. “We’d be very selective as to what types of businesses we had on site. We wouldn’t want to mess up the neighborhood.” Cothran Harris, of Cothran Harris Architecture,

served as architect for what he called a challenging project. “For any commercial space, we’re constrained by the economics of it, the geography. It’s just a tiny piece of land that we have there,” Harris said. “I think it’s remarkable they’re able to get a building on that piece of ground.” It took several months to design a structure true to the marina’s vision that could fit on the land and accommodate a maze of rules and regulations governing projects on the waterfront property. “It was a long and complex process compared to some of our other projects, and certainly for the size of it, it took a disproportionately long amount of time to see the light of day,” Harris said. Clary said everyone at the marina is preparing for a February 2015 completion. Negotiations with potential tenants to break in the new building are currently underway. Residential spaces are also popping up around the island. Ralph Konrady, owner of Konrady & Son Construction, said he has a few new construction projects on the horizon.

Far left: Additions and renovations are underway at 7 Sand Dollar Lane. Below left: Dwarfed by its neighbor, a tear down is slated for 910 S. Lumina Ave.

Already-permitted plans to build a $465,000 home at 833 Schloss Street were put on hold for a few months while the Charlotte-based property owners sort out details about job flexibility. Meanwhile, Konrady is busy with a handful of other projects. The design, created by John B. Parker Architecture, for a new home planned for 910 S. Lumina Ave., was just completed, springing Konrady in motion to apply for a permit. The building sitting on the lot will be demolished before construction begins. Konrady said he is waiting on final designs for a handful of other new construction projects, including one on North Channel Drive. He foresees another year of recovery for the beach. “It seems like it’s doing quite well. I think there’s going to be a lot of construction on the beach. From other builder friends I’ve talked to, they all have plenty on their plate that they’re getting ready to do,” Konrady said. Kyle Lackey, owner of Lackey Builders, said he has seen mostly minor repairs in the last few months, as the company typically sees from Labor Day through October. He is working on two small projects on Wrightsville Beach: installation of a hot tub and deck at 828 Schloss St. and repairs to the front deck at 1504 N. Lumina Ave.

Homework

Lackey typically sees bigger projects after hurricane season blows over. “A lot of people want to kick off work until after hurricane season, if you’re going to open a house up to the elements. That’s always in the back of people’s minds,” Lackey said. Steve Figliuolo, owner of Island Roofing, said roofing work is steady throughout the year, although during the last few years, the bulk of business on Wrightsville Beach has come from re-roofing and roof maintenance instead of new construction. “We used to have at least one crew on the beach every day. It just doesn’t happen anymore. New construction is really slowing down. All it is right now is re-roofing,” Figliuolo said. Island Roofing applied for two re-roofing permits during the first quarter for 10 Crane St. and 621 S. Lumina Ave. The company was last involved in new construction on the beach in 2013 for a home on Waynick Boulevard. Still, Figliuola granted that new construction seems to be on the rise. “You’re starting to see it pick up a bit now, but in the last couple years, there was no new construction,” Figliuoli said. email miriah@luminanews.com

T. Williamson Interiors moved into the space at 7232 Wrightsville Ave. alongside fellow design consultants Design Associates and will hold a grand opening for The Studio Thursday, Oct. 9.

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Introducing a separate but combined wealth of more than 60 years in custom interior designs, Design Associates and T. Williamson Interiors will host an official grand opening of The Studio, Thursday, Oct. 9. After 17 years in a Landfall Shopping Center space, T. Williamson Interiors owner Tina Williamson said she is happy to be located in the same building as the like-minded team of Design Associates. “This has been a wonderful move because I was always in a retail space, even though I did not do much retail,” Williamson said. “I have done custom interiors since 1990 so both our companies are design firms that focus

on custom interiors.” While Williamson and Design Associates owner Maggie Aardema will keep their businesses separate, their clients will have access to a shared showroom space and vast library of interior design resources for furniture, lighting, floor coverings, fabrics and more. “Between Design Associates and T. Williamson Interiors there is this opportunity for end users and other designers to shop,” Williamson said. “I have always known who Maggie was so it was so comfortable coming over here. Once Maggie showed me the space, I knew this was a fabulous environment to work in.” Inside the showroom are the featured lines from brands both firms often use, like Vanguard Furniture, Stanley Furniture,

Miles Talbott, Visual Comfort and Company and Jaipur Rugs. Williamson said the showroom is an important tool for both firms to provide a tactile experience for their customers in addition to perusing printed and online resources. “The pieces in the showroom are there for sale and for clients to understand the comfort, finishing and quality of these pieces,” she said. “Of all the things we do in our business, the ‘tush test’ is still important because somebody has to know if they are going to be comfortable.” Now, with both firms under one roof, Williamson said there are four designers at the 7232 Wrightsville Ave. location to serve one or both firms’ client bases. “We want to encourage other

interior designers to use our resources if it would help them with their job,” she said. “There is a sharing of creativity over here and we can bounce ideas off each other between our two companies, which I really like and appreciate.” With the grand opening Oct. 9, Williamson and Aardema hope to announce the move and draw attention to the amount of interior design expertise housed there. “The Studio really is Maggie’s dream for this building,” Williams said. “We want our clients and other professionals to see what T. Williamson Interiors and Design Associates have to offer.” For more information, visit www.designassociatesidc.com or www.twilliamsoninteriors.com email cole@luminanews.com

What are you worth — financially, that is? Knowing the answer is an important first step in getting your financial house in order. You can’t be effective planning for tomorrow until you know where you stand today. Your net worth is what you own, less what you owe. It is determined by adding your liquid and illiquid assets (such as household and personal possessions, bank accounts, investment Dave Dupont accounts, 401k and IRA accounts, business interests, cash value insurance policies and the market value of your home) and subtracting your liabilities (your mortgage balance outstanding, car loans, student loans, etc). The difference between your assets and liabilities is your net worth. A comprehensive review of your net worth sets the foundation for effective planning and provides a tangible barometer for better money management. An accurate net worth statement helps you identify the value and efficiency of your assets and liabilities. A few examples are: • Cash flow and liquidity — Those who know their personal net worth are more likely to spend, borrow and save sensibly. • Titling of assets — How you own your assets is important. The wrong ownership arrangement can be problematic and can have a major effect on your family’s long- term financial future. • Beneficiary designations — Conduct a beneficiary review of all qualified assets in your household to ensure they are aligned with your estate planning objectives. These include employer-sponsored retirement plans, IRAs and life insurance policies. • Composition — This is the balance between your cash producing and non-cash producing assets. An accurate assessment will reveal items of concern, such as lack of liquidity or inadequate diversification. An undiversified balance sheet is a red flag. • Business interests — If you are an owner, what’s the business worth? How is the organization structured? If succession planning is a consideration, is a buy-sell agreement in force and up to date? Consider employing the services of a business valuation specialist to get a clear and realistic appraisal of what the business is worth if you were prepared to sell today. As a rule, your net worth should be recalculated annually as part of an annual financial physical. Take steps today to assess where you stand, and don’t be afraid to consult with a professional team of advisors for advice on helping preserve and enhance your balance sheetMellor going forward.

Sports/Marine Son Run revitalization easy as pie

Hook, Line & Sinker Good weather, fall fishing finally in full swing

By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

Wrightsville United Methodist Church organizers have big plans to rejuvenate the annual Son Run 5k with a handful of changes, including the date. The race, held every April on the John Nesbitt Loop for the past 15 years, was moved to Oct. 18 this year. The date of the race is not the only change. Tom Barber, one of the organizers, worked with his wife, Kathleen, and Cynthia Horgan to invigorate the 2014 race by also upping the prizes for participants. “This is the 16th running of this race, so we think it’s well-enough known. Yes, we did change the date, but we’re hopeful this will be a start to reenergize the whole process,” Barber said. “Over the past few years, it dropped off a little bit in attendance. We wanted to jump start it and get it going again.” Rocco Quaranto, 2013 Son Run winner, is helping organizers by providing a runner’s perspective on potential tweaks and changes. Quaranto knew Barber through work, so when Barber called him to get feedback on how to improve the race, Quaranto was on board. He said one of his main contributions was incorporating pies, once distributed as prizes at the race, back into the event. Quaranto said the ritual in which winners share the pies is what made the Son Run stand out among a proliferation of local 5ks. “Everyone gets a spoon or

Things were looking up on the fishing front, but days, if not weeks of wind and rain have been hampering anglers for what seemed like an eternity. Well no more, as sunny skies, cool mornings and light winds, for the most part, have arrived. Fishing is now in full force with lots of reports coming in from every aspect of saltwater fishing. Water temperatures have managed to remain in the mid-to-upper 70s, although for how long remains the question. Until then, enjoy the days; there’ll be plenty of catching and bragging in the days to come. Offshore, the wahoo bite has continued right where it left off before the winds,

fork in their bag, so it’s one of those things everyone knows. You go to the Son Run, and the winner gets the pie but shares it. ... There’s no huge, elaborate prize. It’s a pie and you share it, and that was always so great,” Quaranto said. In addition to the pies donated by Apple Annie’s Bake Shop, organizers secured more than $1,000 in prizes for participants, including $100 cash for the overall female and male winners of the race.

Early registrations suggest efforts to reinvigorate the 2014 event have not gone unnoticed. Barber said about 100 people participated in the 2013 run, about the same number has registered two weeks before the 2014 run. He said race organizers hope for 200 participants, and they expect last-minute and same-day registrations to provide the boost they need. Organizers expect to raise $10,000 from the race. All proceeds will be split evenly and

donated to three charities that help children who suffer abuse or exploitation: Methodist Home for Children, A Safe Place and The Carousel Center. Registration for the race opens at 7 a.m. Oct. 18 at Wrightsville Beach Park, with a Kids’ Fun Run at 8 a.m. before runners and walkers take to the loop at 8:30 a.m. The event concludes with a 9:30 a.m. awards celebration. The cost to participate is $30. email miriah@luminanews.com

Open water swimmers from around the country will gather at Wrightsville Beach Saturday, Oct. 11 for the third annual Swim the Loop race. The race starts and finishes at Dockside Restaurant. Competitors will jump into the water and swim toward the drawbridge, passing through Lees Cut, Banks Channel and Motts Channel to make a 3.5-mile clockwise loop around Harbor Island. There will also be a 1.3-mile Motts Channel Sprint for participants seeking a shorter distance. Aid stations will be set up at miles one, two and three to provide racers with energy drinks, water and gels. Race director Kristin Smith said safety is her highest priority when organizing a challenging open water competition such as Swim the Loop.

“I’m going to have about 30 paddleboarders or kayakers spread throughout the course, 18 buoys for sighting and three additional boats … and the Coast Guard is involved to help with boat traffic,” Smith said during an Oct. 3 phone interview. Smith created Swim the Loop three years ago simply because no similar race, catering directly to the unique community of open water swimmers, existed in the area. “There are people all over that love just swimming in open water,” Smith said. “They’ll fly halfway around the world to swim in an open water race. … That’s their niche.” In its first year, Swim the Loop drew around 40 competitors. This year, more than 150 racers from 11 states have already signed up, coming from as far away as Minnesota. Smith hopes that growing trend will continue

during the coming years. “My goal is to eventually sanction [the race] through USA Swimming,” she said, “so that will probably bring in some bigger names.” Local competitor Todd Pletcher said it is not unusual for open water swimmers to travel across the country for a race, because the sport’s appeal lies in the excitement of exploring new bodies of water. “Open water swimmers are adventure people,” Pletcher said during an Oct. 3 phone interview. “There aren’t any open water swims out there that are boring. … They’re all in beautiful locations.” Smith said the Wrightsville Beach location is one of the reasons Swim the Loop is growing so quickly. After climbing out of the water at Dockside Restaurant, competitors will be treated to a post-race celebration. Awards will be

handed out to the top three finishers in each age group, but all participants will walk away with a swim cap and a T-shirt. “The last couple years, people just hung out for a while,” Smith said. “Last year, I was there for three or four hours after the races ended. Swimmers are just really cool. … We definitely know how to have a good time.” In a sport with the playing field of coastal waters, it is only natural that proceeds from the race benefit an organization that maintains the coastline, Smith added. She plans to donate $1,000 of the entry fees to the North Carolina Coastal Federation. “I see where the money goes so I definitely support them,” Smith said. “I want to take some of our proceeds and put it back into our coast because this race wouldn’t happen if it weren’t for a clean coast.” email emmy@luminanews.com

King Mackerel Tournament where a 53-pound fish won first place. There is plenty of bait along the beaches around Oak Island and Southport, and also plenty of king mackerel just waiting for a straggler. Cobia, which is something not normally seen this time of year in any quantity, are also being reported in good numbers from the Topsail beaches through Carolina Beach. Spanish mackerel fishing has also rebounded with lots of fish reported coming from Clark Spoons trolled in about 35 feet of water. Some fish are reported to be pushing 5 pounds. Pier anglers are enjoying the king mackerel and cobia

Until then, enjoy the days; there’ll be plenty of catching and bragging in the days to come.

Race draws open water swimmers By Emmy Errante

with reports of limits of fish caught before the day was even finished. Areas around the Same Ole and Swansboro holes have been mentioned, but find a temperature break and some bait in this general area and you have the makings for some good fishing. A few billfish have been a bonus with lucky anglers as well. Fishing close to the beach has started once again almost as though it is springtime, with plenty of reports of fish caught, both big and small. For those live baiting, the king mackerel are within 3 miles of the beach and a lot of fish are being reported right on the beach. Fish are averaging in the 20-pound range with many fish in the 30s and larger being caught. Live baits, such as menhaden, are still being found around Wrightsville Beach, although they are becoming a little more difficult to find, especially after this past weekend’s US Open

action with reports of fish decked the past week from Surf City piers. The Virginia are accumulating in the surf and fishermen targeting them with fresh shrimp and sand fleas are having pretty good luck. The spots started showing up to our north last week and have finally made it down to our waters with anglers catching fish on both fresh shrimp and bloodworms. A few flounder and red drum have been pulled from the surf the past week and that fishing should continue to get better. Inshore, the cooler mornings have gotten the speckled trout active and there are more reports coming from local waters of fish caught on artificial baits. Finger mullet will also work if the fish are around and will also draw interest from the many red drum and flounder that are hanging around the inlets, creeks and local docks.

Sherman’s Lagoon

Hopelessness • Rage, uncontrolled anger, seeking

revenge

There’s a lagoon called Kapupu near the island of Kapupu in the sunny North Pacific just west of the Elabaob Islands in the Palauan archipelago of Micronesia. Sherman the Shark, his wife, Megan, and a host of other ocean occupants call it home. Occasionally, the hairless beach apes with their so-called civilized human ways try to encroach on the Lagoonies’ tropical paradise. So, there’s bound to be high jinks in this coral-reef heaven...

Signs and Standing in faith

Week 13 in a multi-part series

onders

No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son, or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He has made Him known] (John 1:18 Amp.). Jesus made the true nature of God known with every miracle, sign and wonder, act of compassion and mercy, or word of encouragement. There is not one example in the Gospels of Jesus ever putting sickness on anyone. That old image that many in the church today still embrace, of an angry God with a big stick waiting for any opportunity to punish someone, is in direct contrast to the “exact image” that Jesus gave us of the Father. There is not one single time that Jesus refused to heal someone saying, “No, God wants you sick.” Or, “Sorry, I cannot heal you today for your sin is too great!” You cannot find where Jesus refused to heal anyone, or where He put sickness on anyone. God is not the author or sickness; He is the author of healing. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were

Buddy Dawson

oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10: 38 NKJV). This scripture and many others like it reveal who the author of sickness really is. So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound — think of it — for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath? (Luke 13: 16 NKJV). The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly (John 10: 10 NKJV). As long as we do not know what the will of God is concerning healing or if we believe that somehow God is responsible for the sickness, then we will not resist the devil. If Satan can convince us the Lord wants us sick for any reason, then we won’t actively fight against it. If we are not persuaded in our hearts that God wants us well, we may ask for healing but we will not actively stand against the sickness or stand in faith for our healing. Few believers are walking in this truth today because they do not understand that Christ provided healing for us at the same time He provided forgiveness. It is not His will that any should perish and go to hell, but wide is the road that leads to destruction and many choose it. Likewise, it is not His will that any should be sick and die prematurely, but when we choose to believe our own experiences or someone else’s opinion over and above God’s Word we will perish in our unbelief.

Creator

I AM is the creator of all things in heaven and on Earth The size of everything I have created has quite a girth It is not about size but the beauty thereof In the creatures I have made in My image to love You are tender and full of honesty for all to see That you are a representative of heaven for Me Creating you was the most important task When I finished I knew forever it would last The beauty of the Earth is for your pleasure It contains plants and animals all are My treasures Seek each day to honor the beauty I have given you To soothe the gentlest parts of your heart too I AM has a future for all who I have made to serve The kingdom that I have created from My path you will not swerve Look at all the creator has made and the glory thereof There is so much beauty for everyone to love I treasure each of My creations with a jealous tone I have made a plan that each of you will visit My throne

(Gen 14:19 NIV) and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.” (Isa 40:28 NIV) Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. (Mat 19:4 NIV) “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ (1 Pet 4:19 NIV) So then, those who suffer according to God’s will should commit themselves to their faithful Creator and continue to do good.

October 9 RESIST THE TEMPTATION OF SIN Luke 22:3 “Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.” LUKE 22:3 Some people have speculated that Judas betrayed Jesus in an effort to force Jesus into a confrontation with the Roman government. Then He would have to use His supernatural power in self-defense and overthrow the Romans, thereby giving independence back to the nation of Israel. This idea is based mainly on the response of Judas when he saw that Jesus was condemned. Judas “repented himself” (Mt. 27:3), implying that the condemnation of Jesus was never his intent. However, scripture does not endow Judas with noble (even if misdirected) virtues. He was simply a thief. This verse makes it very clear that Satan entered into Judas and was responsible for putting the betrayal of Jesus into Judas’

heart. We can be assured that Satan’s only purpose in motivating Judas to betray Jesus was to steal, kill, and destroy (Jn. 10:10). Moreover, the fact that Satan possessed Judas does not acquit Judas of the responsibility for his actions. The devil goes about seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). He cannot devour just anyone. We have to give place to him. By being a thief, Judas gave Satan access to him. He may have never intended to betray Jesus and therefore “repented himself” when he saw that Jesus was condemned. Once he began to willfully submit to the sin of thievery, it was hard to stop. Sin cannot be controlled. We cannot just sin “a little.” Sin, like a cancer, always grows until it brings forth death. Submitting ourselves to God and resisting the devil is our only guarantee against being devoured by the devil (Jas. 4:7). When we choose to sin, we are not submitting to God or resisting the devil.
