Wrightsville Beach police charged two men with rape, kidnapping, assault and drug possession on Sunday morning after two women sought treatment at the hospital following an early morning party where police said they found cocaine. Police arrested Genell Stephenson, 33, and Harvey Fred Williams, 35, on Sunday, Nov. 26 at 5:22 a.m. at a party in a house on Causeway Drive after receiving a phone call reporting the alleged crime. Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said that Stephenson and Williams matched the description given by the caller, who could not be identified to protect the identity of the women. A nurse at New Hanover Regional Medical Center also called to report the alleged crime, and House said that Wrightsville Beach detectives interviewed the two women at n See POLICE Page 2

times of the Lumina Pavilion. In addition to the representation of the classic marquee, the trolley and even the outdoor movie theater, the Wrightsville Beach themed boat also had the name “Paula” spelled out in lights, as long-time competitors Capt. Bob Bleecker and Alan Murray sought to represent a new award category named for Paula Sturdy, a regular flotilla winner who died unexpectedly in January. But instead of winning the new award for the best Wrightsville Beach-themed boat, the tribute to Sturdy and the town she loved earned the two their first-ever Best in Show award after 25 years of competing. “We’ve been chasing that one for a long time. It was very touching. It’s a memory of a lifetime,” Murray said. “She was out there competing with us.” The crew of the J&B didn’t have to look far for inspiration, as Bleecker recounted holding his first-ever job at the historic Lumina Pavilion dance hall, where he worked to collect n See FLOTILLA Page 4
Largest auction yet for 13th Hope from Helen By Terry Lane Staff Writer
When Hope from Helen returns to the Blockade Runner this Friday, attendees at the charity auction will be bidding on the highest value of donated goods in the event’s 13 year history. With $84,000 in retail value for the variety of donated goods and services, Hope from Helen founder Tony Butler said that
those bidding at this year’s event will have more opportunity than ever to get a good deal while also helping a good cause. “Each year we get a variety of different items, and they are all unique in their own way,” Butler said. This year’s selection includes a full bathroom remodel that is sponsored by eight different contractors. A $6,900 value, the bathroom remodel starting bid of
$2,760 offers bidders a unique chance at a bargain, Butler said. Originally started to support his late mother Helen Butler’s battle with cancer, Butler has expanded the surf- and beachthemed auction to support a number of charities. Last year’s event raised $45,000 Butler said, a number that could be exceeded with the quality items available this year. Bidding on the auction items is
open now, though the competition on the bids will intensify on Friday at 6:30 p.m., when hundreds of people will scour the tables of items at the Blockade Runner ballroom for the threehour event. Butler said the unique array of items always draws a big crowd, many to see the unique offerings, which this year range from professional services to sports tickets to original art to scores
of surfboards and skateboards. Some of the donated items, like a live edge burl maple waterfall table that Tradewinds Design salvaged from an ice storm, show the unique abilities of the artists that donate to the auction. “There’s a lot of thought that goes into many of these items,” Butler said. “People take the time and effort to donate to the event. They put in the hard work. It’s
humbling and heartwarming.” In addition to the donated items, bidders can also dine on food donated by Tower 7 restaurant, which this year will include roadside tacos, Baja fish tacos, beer battered cod, Santa Fe grilled mahi and a variety of chips and salsa. Dinners are encouraged to also donate to the organization.

While the holidays can be stressful for many, a pair of retreats this December are designed to not only help participants find mindfulness, but also bring together women This weekend, Soul Sisters Sleepover will feature a two-night ladies retreat at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort’s historic cottage, hosted by the newly-launched White Rabbit Trips, a company that organizes events and retreats. “Our mantra is: ‘The only way out is in,’” said owner Jenny Yarborough. “We use yoga, travel and the arts as tools of meditation to calm the mind and find connection to people, places, and purpose.”

yoga and discussion events. “It’s a great jump off point for creative or business endeavors,” said Jess Reedy, a seminar teacher and owner of Pineapple Studios yoga, ceramics and wellness in Wilmington. “For people doing the retreat, she said, “it’s good to be around women business owners and creatives. It’s good to be around their energy and passions and channel it into your energy.” Yarborough collaborates with 17 yoga teachers, artists, gardeners, jewelry makers, designers, and free divers to create events, workshops and trips. Because White Rabbit is a networking and collaborative business, it can grow unhindered by such things as physical location, Yarborough said. n See RETREAT Page 2

bottles at age 6. The J&B crew also represented nearly every part of the state, with participants hailing from Wilmington, Fayetteville, Morehead City, Charlotte, Raleigh, Boone, Durham, Winston-Salem, Mt. Olive and even Atlanta, Ga. And as one Wrightsville Beach-themed boat took the top prize by reflecting history, the winner of the Paula Sturdy Award looked to the present, portraying the palm tree and parking meter on the tidal island that’s a popular stop for recreational boaters. “We were going to just do a parking meter, but decided to add the palm tree and be a little less offensive,” said Capt. Jon Shellen, who became familiar with Sturdy because their boats were docked across from each other. Several participants said the flotilla drew one of the biggest crowds in memory, both in terms of spectators and traffic in the boating channels. “It was stressful,” Shellen said. “The amount of boats out there made it difficult to
navigate.” The crowds were likely encouraged by the weather, which was a balmy 57 degrees when the parade got underway. “I’ve seen all kinds of weather and you could not have asked for better weather this year,” Bleecker said. First-time entrants Eric and Barbara Wenderlich, along with Capt. Michael Lucas, won for Best Powerboat 31-feet and over for their “All American Christmas” theme. Barbara Wenderlich said that the patriotic theme was partly inspired by the recent National Football League kneeling protests. The boat included the slogan “We reel, we do not kneel.” “We stand for everything,” Wenderlich said. “With the current climate, we wanted to do something patriotic.” Not only was it the Wenderlich’s first time entering the flotilla, it was their first ever time even attending the event. Wenderlich said the crowd support made it worth it. “It was really exciting, people were hollering and screaming and singing to our Christmas music,” Wenderlich said.
34th Annual NC Holiday Flotilla winners Thanksgiving week, known as flotilla week in Wrightsville Beach, launched the Carolina holiday season with two longrunning traditions, the 34th annual North Carolina Holiday Flotilla, including a massive 20-minute Zambelli Fireworks display, and the 13th annual Airlie Gardens’ Enchanted Airlie. Mark and Leslie Armstrong of Hampstead won the People’s Choice Award, using the holiday flotilla to promote animal adoption to more than 50,000 people on the parade route. The Armstrong’s also won the text voting People’s Choice Award in 2016, donating the $1,500 prize money to nonprofit Alan Murray and Bob Bleecker show off the trophy for winning Best in Show at the 34th Annual Holiday Flotilla, Rescue Connect. The North Carolina Holidaythe first overall win in 25 tries for the duo. Flotilla and Enchanted Airlie attract over 100,000 spectators during the holidays and have been distinguished as *Top 20 Events by the Southeast Tourism Society. The flotilla is based at host hotel Blockade Runner Beach Resort.

AREA BRIEFS Wrightsville Beach Museum is Kickingoff a Busy Winter Season with their Annual Open House
This weekend Wrightsville Beach Museum will begin our winter celebrations with our annual Holiday Open House on Sunday, December 3 from 2-4 PM at the museum. This yearly party is in part to show off our holiday decorating of the Myers Cottage, and this year we will have our Living Christmas Tree decorated. 20 years ago the museum board planted the cedar tree to the left of the museum as a living Christmas tree but it has rarely been decorated. This year we are lighting it to commemorate its 20 years at the museum. This year’s Open House will have a variety of new items in the gift shop, a family-friendly Craft Table set up for holiday crafts while supplies last, violin students playing Christmas music, and plenty of hot chocolate, coffee, homemade goodies, and doughnuts from The Donut Inn. We have set aside a wall in the main room of the museum for the plein air paintings of our beautiful Town and beaches. These have been selling well all month since our October Wet Paint Sale and will hang until the end of December. We have a Porch Checkers Table with black and white shells for the playing pieces. Melinda Chipley’s wonderful letterpress coasters and note cards are in stock. We have autographed copies of Luminous Island at their special holiday pricing. Our gift certificates for memberships or donations will include a book at the Open House. We have new hats with the museum logo and Wrightsville Beach Historic House prints by Alexis Seabrook. At the Open House the museum will have updates on the moving of the Bordeaux Cottage to the Town’s Historic Square that is scheduled for a mere 7 weeks away, in mid-January. We will share a video on the move and opportunities to help us in this endeavor. We will be looking for additional docents and greeters as the museum expands and other volunteer opportunities will grow along with the need for donations of all sorts. A week after the Open House the museum will hold its premier winter event: Jingle Bell 5K Run and Walk on Saturday, December 9. This year the Friday December 8 Packet Pick-Up will be at the brand-new Academy Sports + Outdoors at 5309 Gingerwood Drive, near Costco. We are now the 2nd largest 5K at Wrightsville
Students enrolled in NHCS will automatically have public library accounts issued using their NHCS student ID numbers beginning December 1, 2017, allowing them to connect to the library’s website to access over 100 databases and eResources, and borrow up to two books, audiobooks, or magazines at a time. A CLASS Project launch event will take place on Friday, December 1, 2017, at 9:30 a.m. in the Children’s Room at the Main Library, 201 Chestnut Street in Wilmington. Johnson Pre-K students will attend the event, which will begin with a short program featuring county and school leaders. The media is invited to attend.

Historic Wilmington Foundation chooses new director
Historic Wilmington Foundation is pleased to announce Beth Rutledge as the new Executive Director, effective December 18, 2017! Beth will succeed George Edwards, who announced his upcoming retirement earlier this year and has led the organization since 2004. Rutledge was selected after a nationwide search. With a 20-year marketing and copywriting background, she most recently worked on program development at the nonprofit Preservation Alliance of Minnesota, launching their education program and Old Home Certified, a regional REALTOR® designation. Rutledge may already be a familiar face to some, as she is currently a member of the HWF Board of Trustees, chairs HWF’s History’s Future committee, and volunteers at Legacy Architectural Salvage. “We’re thrilled to have Beth Rutledge as the next Executive Director,” says Walker Abney, President of the Board of Trustees of HWF. “Beth is a long-time preservationist, with both an understanding of HWF’s legacy as well as fresh ideas for the future of the organization. It’s an
exciting time for the Foundation.” Founded in 1966, the Historic Wilmington Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the irreplaceable historic resources of Wilmington and the Lower Cape Fear Region.
New Hanover County Students Receive Access to Public Library Resources
New Hanover County (NHC) Public Library and New Hanover County Schools (NHCS) have partnered on a new initiative called CLASS Project (Connecting Libraries and Schools for Success). Starting December 1, 2017, CLASS Project will provide more than 26,000 public school students with virtual library cards to enable easy access to library resources from home, school, and any NHC Public Library branch. “This is a first for New Hanover County, and is a great collaboration between the public library and school system,” said County Manager Chris Coudriet. “CLASS Project will give students greater access to early literacy opportunities, provide free educational resources, and promote the progress of knowledge, benefitting students in pre-k all the way through high school.” “This new initiative will assist the district in meeting our goals with students’ academic achievement and expanding their access to some excellent educational materials. We are excited about our students having these additional resources through this partnership between the NHC Public Library and NHCS,” Superintendent Dr. Tim Markley said.

Neighborhood Landfall holiday marketplace seeks to raise funds, Christmas spirit
Supplied Image
By Jana Mackin Contributing Writer
The spirit of Saint Nick will grace the Nicklaus Clubhouse at the Country Club of Landfall on Tuesday for the Landfall Foundation’s fifth-annual holiday shopping marketplace and extravaganza. The four-hour event will feature goodies and gifts from about 45 high vendors, as organizers said this Landfall Foundation fundraiser would jump start the Christmas spirit, meet any holiday needs and benefit a worthy cause. “Anyone can come,” said Beth Adams, foundation board member, explaining that a percentage of the purchases will help the needy in the Greater Wilmington Area. She explained that event chairs Catherine Bonnette and Carol Earey have selected vendors with a wide range of gifts for all ages, including jewelry, home and holiday décor, children’s toys, men’s gifts, gift baskets, clothing, and other gifts. With Christmas
music, decorations, complimentary hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar/drink even the family Scrooge should get festive. There will also be a silent auction and 50/50 raffle with a $10 buy in and winner takes half the pot. Tickets are $20 with registration and percentages of purchases to benefit the Foundation’s non-profit organizations and charities. “There’s no bah humbug at the holiday market. You can get in the Christmas spirit and jump start your shopping, supporting local businesses and giving back to the community,” she said. Since its inception in 1995, the foundation has raised and contributed more than $4 million to Wilmington non-profit organizations. In 2017 more than $300,000 was awarded to 74 Wilmington area non-profit organizations. More than 550 people attended last year’s holiday marketplace, raising more than $19,000 for the Foundation which was formed to assist greater Wilmington area
non-profit organizations. Grants are awarded in the areas of arts, education, health and welfare. Such organizations are often underfunded and need monies to continue to address community needs, said Landfall officials. “It’s very festive, dressy casual,” said Elena Cazeault, vendor and owner of Wrightsville Red. “It’s gets you in the holiday spirit and makes for a festive holiday shopping experience.” Marketplace organizers are hoping for shoppers to bring Santa size bags to fill with gifts for any and all occasions. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to get gifts whether for the holidays, Christmas, Hanukkah, birthdays, or even Mother’s Day,” said vendor Sharon Chadwick, The Best of Everything shop. “It’s a great show. Everybody does a wonderful job. So go ahead and stock up if you have a gift closet. And it benefits so many worthy causes.”

Hook, Line & Sinker December Fishing Still has Strong Fishing Potential By Skylar Walters
Sunny skies, lack of precipitation and mild air temperature sending out the last week of November have helped keep the water temperatures up, and still reading in the low to mid sixties, meaning anglers are still finding plenty of fish for the taking in the inshore waters. Offshore, conditions have been hit or miss, however there are still ample opportunities for the boaters to find a good day to head off the beach and find some good fishing not too far off the hill. The weekend looks to remain fairly mild with some rain chances and some wind in the forecast which may make water temperatures fluctuate some, but for the most part, those still fishing and catching are expecting some decent catches well into the month of December. Speckled trout, red drum and black drum round out the inshore species being encountered with regularity. Anglers are also reporting some flounder being caught, with those being landed being more apt to be over the minimum size limit. The trout have been biting well on soft artificial baits as well as Mirrolures around the inlets and also the deeper channels and creek mouths. Areas in the Cape Fear River have been producing the larger trout being found in our area while those heading north a ways and fishing the Neuse River have been having some success on large, citation sized fish. Red drum have been hanging around the same haunts and are being caught on the same baits with live minnows and fresh cut bait also producing some good catches. Fresh shrimp fished around the oyster beds and

creeks are giving anglers plenty of action from black drum. Live minnows and soft baits are attracting the attention from those flounder being caught. Along Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Wrightsville Beach and Topsail and Surf City, anglers fishing the surf are finding plenty of large virginia mullet in the deeper holes and sloughs between the bar and the beach. Those fishing with sand fleas are managing to catch the larger fish while fresh cut shrimp is also producing some decent catches. Anglers have also reported some large pompano, up to five pounds, being encountered, and while most of the fish have been in the one pound range, there’s always the possibility of a much larger fish coming along. Fishermen throwing Mirrolures have also been reporting some decent sized speckled trout being caught in the deeper sloughs. Off the beach, the king mackerel action has moved off the beach in the fifteen to twenty mile range with a few fish still being caught a bit closer to the beach, but not in numbers. Water temperatures have dipped enough to push them a few more miles off the beach than the past couple of weeks. Bottom fishing has been decent in the twenty mile range with better fishing for more species being found in the thirty miles range. Gulf Stream fishing for wahoo and blackfin tuna has been good when the boats can get out to them. There remains a possibility of some decent weather this weekend, however, that remains to be seen as the days grow closer.
