WB approves duplexes for Johnnie Mercer’s Pier lot Project By Terry Lane Staff Writer
After 10 years of vacancy, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen approved a major residential development project for the 1.1 acre lot next to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, though it was not without some opposition from those who believe the lot should remain primarily used for commercial development. Aldermen, developers and residents alike mulled the issue of development on Wrightsville Beach at the Thursday, Nov. 9 meeting. The retreat of commercial development is what Alderman Lisa Weeks said motivated her run for the board eight years ago, and in her final meeting, she was the lone alderman to vote against permitting the 11 duplex buildings that will comprise the “Atlantic View,” with it winning a 4-1 approval. The disagreement between developers that want to build up, and residents that want a limit on building height, was on display, as developer D. Logan, the driving force behind the project, told the board and the audience that a viable An artist’s conception of the Atlantic View development near Johnnie Mercer’s Pier that was approved by the Wrightsville n See DUPLEXES Page 4

Rooty Rascals create hospice tree ornaments by Jana Mackin Contributing Writer

A jam-packed joyville of Rooty Rascals rode the ornament express to Wrightsville Beach Elementary School last month where they confected Christmas keepsakes for their hospice tree destined for a local holiday fundraiser. For about an hour, more than 60 fifth graders flooded the school cafetorium awash in the raw materials for holiday magic. Sea shells, glitter, glue, fancy beads, sea glass, wire, stones, and island flotsam and jetsam were laid out on several folding tables staffed by more than a dozen Harbor Island Garden Club members and other volunteers. Sponsored by the garden club, the project offered the Rooty Rascals, the club’s Junior Gardeners program for the school’s fifth graders, a chance to make holiday decorations for a worthy cause in a festive controlled chaos. “Season’s Greetings from the Island,” said Eva Elmore along with Kim Watters, co-chairs of the Rooty Rascals. This year’s theme focuses on ornaments being made from the island’s natural materials. “The kids are incredibly creative in their wide range of ornaments,” said Elmore. “It’s a rather ambitious and insane activity,” she added, explaining that they will complete the project at another session this Wednesday. “We were equating it to speed dating,” she said, explaining

aims for cleaner waters in WB Staff Report The North Carolina Coastal Federation is teaming up with the town of Wrightsville Beach and the Hanover Seaside Club to clean up the swimming and fishing waters around Wrightsville Beach. The phased project, which is funded by a grant to the federation from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, will include stormwater runoff reduction measures at the Hanover Seaside Club and the town’s public parking lot adjacent to Oceanic Restaurant. Phase I of this year-long project will take place between Nov. 6 and Nov. 20 and will involve the installation of pervious pavement around existing drains within the public parking lot near the Oceanic Restaurant. Phase II of the project will begin during winter 2018. Designed to demonstrate innovative techniques, the new approaches that will be installed during this project will capture, infiltrate and remove pollutants that currently flow directly into the adjacent Banks Channel, which is heavily used for waterbased recreation. Runoff reduction will be achieved by redirecting and infiltrating surface runoff from existing street and parking lot pavement and drains. The new system will direct the runoff flow into the pervious pavement area adjacent to the existing storm drain. “We are so grateful to the Clean Water Management Trust Fund for supporting these

WB police award restaurant staff for help Youth ministry uses surf, skate for outreach By Terry Lane Staff Writer
By Terry Lane Staff Writer
At last month’s longboard surf tournament on Wrightsville Beach, a local youth church ministry began trying a new way to witness the teachings of Jesus and share their Christian faith by sharing their love for surfing, skating and other board sports. The 180 Student Ministries, a newly-founded youth ministry at Southside Baptist, was making the first of what youth pastor Christian Rutherford plans to be regular events at surf contests, skate parks and other places that kids could be hanging out. The group of a dozen
kids walked the beach, passing out water bottles stickered with the group’s logo. “We’re passing out water bottles and loving on people for who they are,” said Rutherford, who said the drinks were a great way to open conversation. “We want to get people out who like to ride and create a good, clean environment. And if they find Jesus, that’s awesome.” Rutherford said the ministry operated in the spirit of how Jesus preached his message, pointing out how He sought out the poor, downtrodden and neglected. “He’d be at the bars, he’d be at the skate park,” Rutherford
At the recent community meeting, Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said that one way the police department could help boost morale is through periodic awards and recognition. And those awards weren’t just limited to police officers, pointing out that the department also recognized citizens for their help with police. House referenced the aid given to the department by King Neptune general manager Christopher Roberts. His role with the restaurant includes managing the security staff at the restaurant that transforms into a nightclub on Friday and

how groups of kids shifted in timed sessions between several ornament-making stations. While giggling kids on a short leash of time might have courted pandemonium in lesser hands, the Rascals proved up to the challenge. They made oyster angels, cockle shell pelicans, clam fish, pearl clams and oysters, pine straw wreaths, decorated Wax Myrtle wood slices, and letters garnished in glitter and sand. “Christmas is always here in our ornaments,” said Hannah Ford, 10, holding up her wreath. “The ornaments are going to be for the hospice tree,” said Ford. This is the second year Rooty Rascals have decorated a tree for the Festival of Trees, a Lower Cape Fear Hospice fundraiser. Last year, school fifth graders decorated their tree with ornaments made from plastics and other recycled materials found on the island. Both years, trees have been donated by garden club member Linda Brown. “The ornaments are so adorable,” said Brown, member of hospice’s board of trustees.

“Last year’s decorations were awesome.” “The Rooty Rascals tree,” she said, “does provide solace and comfort for the families who come.” The Harbor Island Garden Club has sponsored the Rooty Rascals
at Wrightsville Beach Elementary School since 1984. The year-long program teaches fifth graders about native plants, gardening, birding, butterflies and other flora and fauna. It promotes environmental and ecological awareness through local field trips, outings,
talks, and hand-on projects. The school’s marine science coordinator and counselor, Cissie Brooks, works closely with the school program that meets regularly each month. “The Rooty Rascals has evolved from a gardening program to an
environmental awareness group with a focus on environmental issues and education,” said Brooks. When the ornament express finally departed the school’s makeshift North Pole, the Rooty Rascals reveled in their hospice
tree ornaments bound for stardom at this year’s Festival of Trees. “It feels like the spirit of Christmas, happiness and joy,” said Jassiah Gardner, 10. “We want people to live. We want to brighten up their day.”

encounters, he said that bouncers have the advantage and mostly are trying to de-escalate confrontation. “You’re always a step ahead,” Roberts said of challenging patrons when they get violent. Roberts said one incident last summer helped prompt the recognition from the department. After a fight in front of the clubs on North Lumina Avenue, one man was injured and lying on the ground. As police and medical personnel attended to him, Roberts and his crew formed a perimeter around them, keeping them from being encroached on by the growing crowd. “There’s between two and five hundred people on the streets for those few minutes. We set a barrier, so they could do their jobs.” he said. “We knew it could get scary for them. We help them out
whenever they need it.” Roberts said it was important to maintain good relationships with police. “We’re on a first-name basis with the police, it’s always good to know them,” said Roberts, who has worked at the restaurant since 1993, where he started at the door. “I’ve known some of the officers for a long time.” While things have changed in Wrightsville Beach in the more than two decades he’s worked, he said the beach and its nightlife has always brought a big crowd, with the biggest change mainly coming from the new faces that roll in with the changing semesters of the local colleges and university. “A new crowd comes every year,’ he said.
Department of Transportation, to design their projects with these measures up front, which saves money and better protects our waters.” This is the third large-scale project in a series of projects that are designed to improve the water quality around Wrightsville Beach. Earlier this year, an infiltration project was installed at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort that redirects much
of the polluted runoff from the resort and adjacent roads into the ground through an engineered infiltration system. This project and previous efforts will greatly improve the water quality within Banks Channel, which the resort uses to host many recreational events. This project is part of the ongoing implementation of the Bradley and Hewletts Creeks Watershed Restoration Plan.
locations. “A lot of them don’t go to church, some come from bad homes. We just hang out and let the know that God is there for them.” Passing out water offered a “great chance to meet people,” said 12-year-old Topsail Middle School student Ava Salerno. Taylor Applewhite, 13, a Roland-Grise Middle School student,said that she enjoyed passing out the drinks because “their faces light up when we give them a bottle of water.” The two also talked about how they enjoyed their time spent with the 180 Student Ministries.
“You can tell them anything, they won’t judge you,” Applewhite said. Salermo agreed. “We talk about the Lord in a place we’re allowed to,” Salermo said. “Everyone is real, no one puts on a show.” Rutherford said the plan for 180 Student Ministries was to bring the group to more events at local skateparks. “We focus on relationships and are trying to do what Jesus was doing, which was loving people for who they are,” Rutherford said.

City of Wilmington Riverwalk complete, ribbon-cutting on Saturday After more than $30 million and 30 years in the making, the city’s 1.75-mile Riverwalk in downtown Wilmington is now complete. Construction of the Riverwalk has taken place in sections since the early 1980s. The northernmost sections have now been completed and the Riverwalk stretches from the foot of Nun Street on the south end to the Isabel Holmes Bridge on the north end. The city, which has named Nov. 18 as Riverwalk Day, will hold a ribbon-cutting on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Riverfront Park with Mayor Bill Saffo and other local leaders, and will also offer tours beginning at 10:20 a.m. Other downtown activities include an open house at the Wilmington Convention Center and the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, both beginning at 10 a.m. Since 1980, the city has invested more than $33 million in additions, improvements and repairs to the Riverwalk, which has significant maintenance needs because of the Cape Fear River’s swift currents. Over $10
million has been spent in the last three years. The city said its public investment has helped stimulate economic development along the riverfront, including planned or completed private sector projects totaling almost $200 million in 2017, according to Wilmington Downtown, Inc.’s 2017 Downtown Development Review released last month.

Editorial/Opinion n DUPLEXES Continued from Page 1
commercial project isn’t possible under the current height restrictions. But Weeks, along with a handful of residents, said they worried that losing more commercial development risked turning Wrightsville Beach from a viable town to a bedroom community of Wilmington, forcing residents to go “over the bridge” for essential goods and services. While primarily residential duplexes, the Atlantic View project at 19 E. Salisbury Street would also include a unit for commercial use, a compromise developers made after the residential project first stalled at the town’s planning board in August. But with this area making up between only 4 to 8 percent of the total lot, Weeks and others said that commercial should make up a larger part of any project approved for a commercially zoned lot. Weeks acknowledged that residential elements were appropriate for the lot, especially any units that face Seagull Street on the lot’s north end, which is already lined with houses and duplexes. But she said that retail or restaurants would be more appropriate for the Salisbury Street side on the south that faces the parking lot to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier. Supporters of commercial on the lot said “mixed use” projR E S U LT S ects with retail at the floor level and residential above would be ideal. “The Salisbury side at least deserves a mixed-use project,” Weeks said. However, Logan countered that federal flood-proofing regulations made mixed-use projects unworkable for the lot, where developers would have to either install pricey floodproofing on the ground level, which he described as a “submarine,” or elevate the retail
units, requiring passersby to walk upstairs to reach the businesses. Logan contrasted the lot with a $43 million mixed-use project currently in the works in nearby Leland. “The difference is that there, I have the height,” Logan said. “If retail works, we will be there. But here, you either have to build a submarine or go up a flight of stairs. It will not work.” The Atlantic View project will bring 11 duplex buildings, with 21 total units, to the lot. The bottom level of Unit K, approximately 2,000 square feet, will be reserved for retail, which could include a coffee shop or retail store. That unit, located on the east corner of Salisbury Street closest to the pier, would also have an outdoor deck, expanding its potential use. Logan said that developers also have an agreement with the pier that will open access to the lot along the pier’s ramp. The other 21 units at Atlantic View will be 2,800 square foot residential units with 352 square feet decks. Parking for the units will be onsite, with a drive separating the two rows of duplexes, with access from Seagull Street. Six units will line Seagull Street, with five on East Salisbury Street. Logan said that two duplexes being built across the pier’s parking lot, on Greensboro Street, bear the same design as the duplexes proposed for Atlantic View project. The project will feature duplexes of three distinct designs. The project’s supporters on the board said that residents must be more realistic about commercial that will work on Wrightsville Beach, where businesses must balance booming summertime crowds that slow to a trickle during the winter doldrums. Parking is a serious limitation for any commercial business on the lot, with a few board members arguing that it was

unrealistic to believe that people would come to Wrightsville Beach to shop or to get a cup of coffee. “There is not a market for a typical retailer there,” said Mayor Pro-tem Darryl Mills. “The only thing that would work there is another bar, and I am not in favor of another bar on Wrightsville Beach.” Wrightsville Beach Chamber of Commerce president Sue Bulluck said she believed with an exception on height, it was still possible to bring in a hotel for the project. She urged the board to wait until it adopts a new long-term land use plan before bringing in a residential project for the lot. A town steering committee is currently considering changes to the land use plan, a long-term strategy document required by the state’s Coastal Area Management Act. The current land use plan explicitly discouraged building over the town’s 40-foot height limit and the CAMA steering committee has not proposed any change to the limit. But Mayor Bill Blair said that there have been at least four attempts to bring a mixed-use project to the lot, all abandoned due to the costs. “We all want them, but it’s hard to get people to come down with commercial projects. We don’t have the infrastructure in place for it,” Blair said. To approve the project, the board first had to adopt a change to town code through a “text amendment” that would create a “group housing” option for commercial lots of an acre or more in the C-2 commercial district, which in Wrightsville Beach includes the area around Johnnie Mercer ’s Pier and Crystal Pier. The text amendment would allow for up to 10 percent of the space to be commercial, a cap that Weeks argued should be higher. Weeks also said she worried that by setting a precedent, the “group housing” project could be successfully pursued by property owners in the C-3 districts, which include commercial lots by the marinas or on Causeway Drive, and further drive out retail businesses in favor of residential. In her final meeting after two terms on the board, Weeks said that it was the conversion of the “Pizza Hut” lot on Salisbury Street from commercial to residential that prompted her to run for alderman eight years ago. The lot remains empty.

Hook, Line & Sinker Cooler Weather Conditions Cooling Water Temperatures By Skylar Walters
Just like that, in typical east coast fashion, weather conditions have finally materialized close to normal for this time of year and have brought with them, typical seasonal water temperatures and a angling bite that is now resembling what November should normally be, but it’s still far from that with what anglers have been experiencing the first couple of weeks. Water temperatures have dipped pretty dramatically, and are now reading in the mid sixty degree range, a stark contrast to the seventy degree readings just a week ago. Also with the cooler temperatures come some winds and brisk winds at that, making fishing in locations absent of some form of shelter rather difficult but not impossible. Speckled trout fishing has been the main topic of conversation among anglers the past week mainly due to the fabulous bite that has transpired since the arrival of the colder weather. While the trout fishing has been relatively good for some but a bit slow for most, the cooler conditions have brought an increase in bites, action and quality of fish for a lot of those looking for some keeper fish for the table and even a few trophy size fish, some up to 9 pounds, being found here and there. Soft baits such as DOA shrimp and paddle tails rigged on jig heads have been a great bait while others have been utilizing varying colors of Mirrolure’s in their arsenal to catch some decent fish. Live baits such as finger mullet and live shrimp fished on popping cork have also been working well in areas that the larger trout are being found, which has mainly been around the jetties and lower Cape Fear River areas. Red drum have also been plentiful for anglers and are being caught on the same baits and also fresh

cut bait soaked on the bottom near the deeper creek mouths and channels. Most of the inshore fish are in the slot limit while those found around the inlets have been mainly over slot. Some fish have also been reported coming from the surf areas with both slot and larger fish being encountered. The king mackerel action was pretty good just off the beach last week, with some good fishing being found n the five mile range. Some lucky anglers fishing in areas just a couple of miles more offshore also reported running into an occasional dolphin and those really lucky reported getting into some action with sailfish within ten miles of the beach. With conditions as they were this is not that surprising other than it being the month of November. Unfortunately those spectacular near shore catches are more than likely done for the year but anglers can always anticipate the possibilities for next year which will be here before you know it. Elsewhere, the surf fishing has been decent for virginia mullet and pompano and in certain areas, lots of spots. Fresh shrimp is a good bet for those wanting some fresh fish for dinner. Cut bait has been producing some red drum and flounder and an occasional bluefish. With current forecast calling for the weather conditions to remain stable for the upcoming week, expect some decent fishing to be had all along the coast. Offshore forecasts are not looking all that great for boaters, which again, is normal for this time of year, but be ready, because there’ll still be an opportunity in there sooner or later, and if you’re prepared for late season offshore boating and fishing, you sure don’t want to miss it when it arrives

Cape Fear men’s golf off to strong start
UNCW SPORTS BRIEFS Seahawks basketball splits opening games
By Nick Denning GoSeaDevils.com
The Cape Fear men’s golf team is two months into the 2017-18 season. Although they are young, with eight freshmen and only one sophomore, head coach Rick Stewart likes what he’s seen out of his players so far. The Sea Devils have finished second in two of their first four tournaments, and haven’t finished lower than fifth. Playing in NJCAA District 4, one of the most competitive districts in the nation, the team faces off against programs with a history of success that have produced professional golfers. In their first tournament, Cape Fear finished 3rd in the Cutter Creek Invitational, shooting a 6-under 282 in two rounds. Considering it was the first tournament for many of them, Coach Stewart was impressed in the way his young team competed against NCAA Division II schools. “For the kids to step up in their first tournament and do that, it’s great,” said coach Stewart. While he liked their effort, the team struggled in Round 2 after shooting well in Round 1. Coach Stewart states the 2nd round performance came as a result of not putting the previous round behind them. “Players have to move on no matter what they score on the previous hole [or round].” He says his team wanted to repeat their strong performance on the second day, when it would have been better to treat each round separately. After struggling in Round 2, he joked with his players, telling them they, “folded like a dinner napkin.” While Round 2 didn’t go as well as they hoped, it was a good teaching moment. Remaining focused is important, according to Coach Stewart. Five players participate in each tournament, and the top four scores are counted. It creates little room for error. “If they don’t focus and each one drops a shot or two, that’s the difference between first and eighth.”

CFCC’s men’s golf team recently took second in two tournaments, showing strong start to season.
While overall team scores determine the winner, individual players have stepped up in various tournaments. Of the entire roster, coach Stewart points to freshman Brantley Moore as his strongest player so far this season. A native of Wilmington, Moore has one Top 10 finish and four Top 20 finishes this season. He finished tied for 6th in the Cutter Creek Invitational, shooting 73 in both rounds, then finished 14th in the Don Scalf Invitational, 14th in the NJCAA District 4 Preview in early October, and then tied for 11th in the Walter State Fall Classic. Coach Stewart calls him “reliable,” and says the best part of Moore’s game is his ability to hit from the tee. “[He has] good distance, [he is] very accurate, and he keeps the ball in front of him.” Another standout has been freshman Tanner Norris. In the Cutter Creek Invitational, he finished tied for 1st, shooting 73 in Round 1 and 69 in Round 2. Later in the month, he finished tied for 10th in the Don Scalf Invitational, shooting 71 and 72 in two rounds. So far, Norris has two Top 10 finishes, along with three Top 20 finishes.
When describing Norris’ game, one word comes to mind for Coach Stewart. “Norris is a natural. His game is just natural.” He states the freshman from Morehead City, NC has never had formal training, and that he has a good feel for the game. His natural ability, however, is both a blessing and slight handicap. “He’s finding out he’s not the only one who can post [good scores].” However, Stewart says that Norris can become a great player when he can improve and apply the technical and mental parts of the game. Beyond Norris and Moore, sophomore Andrew Cheek has finished in the Top 20 three times, while freshmen Ryan Graybar, Thomas Hill, and Justin Morgan each have one Top 20 finish. Coach Stewart has been impressed with the work ethic of Morgan. He says he is a great example of, “a player really, really putting the time in, [and having] their mind [in the right place].” He believes these attributes mean Morgan will develop into a great player.
The University of North Carolina Wilmington men’s basketball team tipped off this week, as the Seahawks split its first two games of the season. On Tuesday, s Davidson shot 65.6 percent in the second half to outscore UNCW, 108-81, in the 2017-18 road opener for the Seahawks on Tuesday at John M. Belk Arena. Junior forward Devontae Cacok anchored four players in double figures for the Seahawks with his second double-double of the season and the 15th of his career. He closed with 22 points and 17 rebounds and added a pair of assists in 34 minutes. Redshirt sophomore guard Ty Taylor added 16 points in his second game with the Seahawks, senior guard Jordon Talley collected a double of 13 points and 12 assists and sophomore guard Jaylen Fornes finished with 11 points. On Saturday, Talley poured in a career high 24 points and Cacok recorded his first double-double of the season as UNCW thumped NCAA Division II N.C. Wesleyan, 105-81, to give new Seahawk skipper C.B. McGrath a victory in his head coaching debut Saturday night at Trask Coliseum. The Seahawks opened the season at home for the third straight year and never trailed the Battling Bishops, shooting 50 percent from the floor and outrebounding the visitors, 51-41. The Seahawks, 1-1, return to Trask Coliseum on Saturday to entertain state rival Campbell in the longest series on record for the Seahawks.
UNCW soccer hosts NCAA tournament game Coach Aidan Heaney and the UNCW men’s soccer team will host an NCAA Tournament game for the second time in program history on Thursday night when the Seahawks welcome Presbyterian for a 7 p.m. first round contest at UNCW Soccer Stadium. Tickets for the game, which are priced at $7 for adults and $2 for students and children aged 15 and under, can be purchased by calling the UNCW Athletics Ticket Office at 800-808-UNCW or by visiting UNCWSports.com/BuyTickets. The winner of Thursday’s first round game advances to face No. 3 national seed North Carolina on Sunday in the second round. UNCW earned an at-large berth into the 48-team tournament field while Presbyterian received an automatic berth after claiming the Big South Conference title. The Seahawks are hosting an NCAA Tournament game for the second time in program history. In 2014, UNCW defeated Bucknell in the first round by a 2-0 count in front of 2,020 fans. UNCW and Presbyterian will be facing each other for the second time in men’s soccer. The Blue Hose edged the Seahawks, 2-1, during the 2013 campaign in Wilmington. UNCW is 5-2-0 at home this season and has limited opponents to just four goals in those seven contests. Presbyterian has played in a school-record six overtime games this season and has a 0-1-5 record in those contests.
