Local lawmakers divided on room occupancy tax law By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
A House bill allocating a portion of unused room occupancy tax collected in New Hanover County raised concerns after changes to the bill’s language might put the funds in different hands than intended. The bill was sponsored by Rep. Ted Davis Jr., R-New Hanover, in pursuit of a funding source for local matches needed to receive state assistance for shallow-draft inlet dredging. Davis identified more than $1 million of room occupancy tax collected in unincorporated parts of the county that were earmarked for beach renourishment in those areas yet untapped because no beaches needing renourishment exist in those areas. The bill originally intended to earmark that funding stream for inlet dredging but when it was considered by the legislature, language in the bill changed to bring it into compliance with state ROT guidelines. Under the change, all proceeds from the room occupancy tax collected in unincorporated areas will be managed by the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority, with two-thirds of funds collected after July 1, 2014 earmarked for tourism promotion and one-third earmarked for tourism-related activities. Davis was able to secure the $1 million previously accrued for tourism-related activities. Rep. Rick Catlin, R-New Hanover, questioned the bill after he heard concerns from Figure Eight Island, part of the district he represents, but the bill was ratified July 25, when it become Session Law 2014-87. Catlin is worried that the law as passed does not specifically allocate the funds for inlet maintenance. “That’s my fundamental problem. I’m very concerned about losing that million dollars that if we had more time, I think we n See inlet Page A5

Treatment available for inmates with mental illness By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
Claims made in New Hanover County Commissioner Brian Berger’s pending probation violation case may shine a spotlight on mental health treatment for inmates in the New Hanover County jail, but officers from the sheriff’s department and detention facility maintain the issue of receiving health care as well as medication while in the jail is commonly and properly handled. A court-ordered forensic mental evaluation determined Berger is incapable of proceeding, or assisting in his own defense. Berger’s attorney told the court Berger has not been receiving treatment during his stay in the county jail, where he has been detained since June 11, despite his probation officer’s confirmation that he did receive
medication before incarceration. During a July 22 court hearing, District Court Judge Robin Wicks Robinson requested Berger receive treatment while awaiting trial in the hope he will be restored to better health before an August hearing. Inmates in the county jail do receive treatment, said Lt. Travis Robinson, assistant division commander with the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office. Inmates typically receive better care in custody than on the streets, Lt. Robinson said. “A lot of times when they get out of the system, they don’t have the opportunity to get that continued course of treatment because, No. 1, they can’t afford it,” he said during a July 22 phone interview.

Buoyant and light, the drifters seem pretty ordinary as they bob up and down along the shore. Equipped with GPS to track movements and designed to float like a person, the simple technology will help researchers understand deadly rip currents and inform the public of the safest way to enjoy the beach. Spencer Rogers, coastal specialist with North Carolina Sea Grant, built the drifters with graduate student Cobi Christiansen at the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Center for Marine Science. International rip current researcher Rob Brander, based at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, is working with the Sea Grant program during a summer research sabbatical in the United States. Also known as Dr. Rip, he said this endeavor is one of the first attempts to gather information about East Coast rip current patterns.

Where did 15-year-old Wilmington resident Deanna Smith go? For more than one month, the Wilmington Police Department has been trying to answer that question after the teenager was last seen June 25. Smith’s last known location was New Bern Street off of Market Street near Lullwater Drive. Smith left a note saying she was running away, which Wilmington Police Department Det. P. Oehl said is not a common thing for runaways to do. “The thing about it is that no one has seen or heard anything from her since she left,” Oehl said. “She had no phone, no car or money that we know of so we just don’t know where she could be. Normally it doesn’t last a month when you put kids’ photos out and usually somebody calls with something.” Oehl said Smith’s note leads him to believe she had planned to run away from home. “If she did then somebody was there to help her and we just don’t know who that could be,” he said. “It could be that someone is lying to us and saying we

Less than 100 days from the 2014 general election, four hopefuls vying for two open seats on the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners are ready to resume issues-based campaigns with bipartisan appeal. “It’s all starting to accelerate because we’re about 100 days out from the election, give or take. We never stopped thinking about it but it’s time to get back into active mode,” said Republican candidate Skip Watkins during a July 28 phone interview. Watkins kicked off his general election campaign with a July 24 fundraising event at the home of Woody White, chairman of the county commission. Watkins said both Chairman White and Commissioner Thomas Wolfe support his campaign, which will slightly change tactics for the general election. “We’re going to be reaching all 200,000 citizens of New Hanover County, regardless of their party, and we’re going to be doing a lot of personal one-on-ones,” Watkins said.

New zoning pending for Galleria property By Marimar McNaughton Staff Writer
Urban District Mixed Use is the zoning proposed by City of Wilmington planning staff for 12.2 acres fronting 6800 Wrightsville Ave. Jeff Walton, city associate planner, will present his staff report to the city’s planning commission during a public hearing at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6 at City Hall, 102 N. Third St. “If the starts align it will go to city council on Aug. 19,” Walton said during a July 28 phone interview. “The site was annexed by Wrightsville Beach in ’85,” he said. “The Galleria shopping center opened in ’86. Recently, the North Carolina General Assembly de-annexed the properties from Wrightsville Beach and automatically annexed them into the city … on June 30, 2014.” The city is allowed 60 days from that date to zone the property. “The item being discussed on Aug. 6 is the initial zoning,” Walton said. The UMX district is relatively new, Walton explained.
“We were concerned about all these manufacturing buildings that were serving nothing but a collection of rats. ... We were trying to think of a district that would encourage redevelopment of these sites without suburban regulations — street, yard, parking lots — because all these centers were developed in the ’50s, World War II.” The district is concentrated in the city’s 45 corporate limits where most of the abandoned warehouses are located. “The reason we’re going down the path of UMX is because we think it’s the most complementary. We always look at Lumina Station as an example,” Walton said. “Lumina Station would just be tremendous if it was a mixture of res[idential] and office, commercial and retail, and all the stuff thrown in together. That zoning district would allow for that sort of redevelopment to occur.” The Galleria site was one of many discussed when Wilmington developed its Wrightsville Sound Small Area Plan. Developed with multiple stakeholder meetings, the plan specifically addresses the

The City of Wilmington Planning Commission will review the initial zoning of the 12.2-acre Galleria property as Urban Mixed-Use Wednesday, Aug. 6, after it was deannexed by the town of Wrightsville Beach and annexed by Wilmington.
Galleria property; proposing recommendations that support redevelopment and unified development with adjacent residential areas, encourage the combination and recombination of parcels, encourage a mix of residential and commercial uses to reduce vehicle trips and provide options for surrounding residential areas, increase interior lot landscaping, require bicycle and pedestrian connections to adjacent residential areas, reduce impervious surface coverage and utilize monument
style signage. Autumn Hall and Mayfaire are two examples of MX zoning with 200 plus acres. “There’s a size requirement of 10 acres,” Walton said. With 12.2 acres at the former Galleria site that restriction is a nonfactor. “For MX, there’s a buffer requirement. Anything that’s residentially zoned or used requires a 200-foot buffer. That would literally kill the project, if we tried to assign a 200-foot buffer, because of all the properties
on Airlie Road that back up to this property in the rear,” Walton said. He was referencing an additional 15 parcels contiguous to the Galleria’s 12.2 acres that developer, State Street Galleria LLC, doing business as SSG-1 LLC, purchased in 2013 and early 2014. “Those properties are still residentially single fam[ily].” Referencing developer Jeff Kentner, Walton said, “If he were to do anything on the Galleria site he would still have to adhere
to a 200-foot setback unless he pulled those properties into some sort of rezoning down the road or use them for single-family residences.” Walton said he had not seen any plans. However, under the current zoning, a subdivision would be limited to R15 and R20, or 15,000-20,000-square-foot lots. “He couldn’t do anything smaller than that without going through a public hearing process,” Walton said. email marimar@luminanews.com
No tax holiday leaves retailers guessing By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
North Carolina parents hoping to shave a few dollars on back-toschool gear for their kids will have to do so without the annual North Carolina Tax Holiday weekend for the first time in more than a decade. The holiday, which historically occurred during the first weekend in August, was repealed in July 2013 when North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory signed the tax reform bill into law. With no tax holiday this weekend, Annex Surf Supply manager Chris Batten said the team at the Annex and Surf City Surf Shop are left to guess if there will be a downturn in sales. Although the Annex had only experienced one tax holiday, Batten said the weekend was always a good revenue generator for Surf City. “That was traditionally a great weekend for us,” Batten said.

Town of Wrightsville Beach to receive Pelican Award By Marimar McNaughton
NHRMC PHysiCiaN GROUP
“Shoppers would wait for that time and we knew on that weekend people would actually be buying instead of window shopping.” The state tax holiday was one of the few remaining benchmarks for retailers to measure back-to-school sales, Batten said, adding that an increase in the number of year-round and alternatively scheduled schools had spread those sales out already. “It is just like everything else out in the retail world right now,” he said. “It is a crazy retail market now and we always have to do new things to keep people interested.” Along with the August tax holiday, North Carolina also repealed the tax holiday in November that was reserved for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances. Both South Carolina and Virginia still have back-to-school tax holiday weekends in August.
When the North Carolina Coastal Federation announces its Pelican Award winners later this week, the Town of Wrightsville Beach will be among individuals, businesses, nonprofit groups, local and state governments, and educators recognized. Mayor Bill Blair received word from NCCF executive director Todd Miller in a June 26 letter. Miller cites the town’s role in supporting the establishment of the federation’s new southeast office and Fred and Alice Stanback Coastal Education Center.
“The Town of Wrightsville Beach staff, this board and the former board invested a lot of effort to see the house moved,” Blair said during a July 30 phone interview. “It was a big event at the beach. The rehabilitation of the Palmgren-O’Quinn house was a significant undertaking. The final product is outstanding. The coastal federation is an anchor partner in the historic square area. We look forward to supporting the North Carolina Coastal Federation endeavors
that concern Wrightsville Beach and ongoing coastal education.” Nominations for the annual Pelican Awards come from the federation’s regional staff members. Tracy Skrabal, senior coastal scientist and southeastern regional office manager, said during a July 21 phone interview, “We had the town staff on speed dial every day in 2013 with this house move. We were on a pretty fast timeframe. If the town had not gone above and beyond the call of duty, there were a lot of
roadblocks that could have set us back a lot. Everybody — town manager, town attorney, Tony [Wilson] — lots of people went out on a limb to help us through some stuff, historic commission, historic preservation group. ... I was talking with somebody from the town almost every day.” The Pelican Award presentation will occur during the NCCF’s annual meeting, Saturday, Aug. 2 at the N.C. Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. email marimar@luminanews.com

People gather at Wrightsville Beach Public Access No. 34 for a loggerhead sea turtle nest excavation Tuesday, July 29 at 8:15 p.m. The nest was laid the night of May 29, during the beach renourishment process, and was relocated by Wrightsville Beach Sea Turtle Project volunteers to avoid egg damage potentially caused by the dredge pipe and heavy equipment. The nest hatched Saturday, July 26, at approximately 8:30 p.m. No hatchlings were found in the nest chamber during Tuesday’s excavation, conducted by WBSTP project coordinator Nancy Fahey, meaning all the nest’s viable eggs hatched and hatchlings emerged prior to that time. ~ Susan Miller

Flotilla committee seeks title sponsor, grand prize By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
Although the North Carolina Holiday Flotilla currently has several sponsors for its boat parade, the committee continues to seek a title sponsor and a grand prize for the 2014 best in show entry. “I’ve been putting in phone calls to other people to try and find a title sponsor,” chairman Pres Davenport said during the flotilla board’s Monday, July 28 meeting. Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Realty made a donation of $1,000, with Motts Channel Seafood, Tower 7 Baja Grill, Dockside Restaurant and several others also making contributions of $250. The committee discussed several new fundraising options to recruit a title sponsor. Davenport suggested certain businesses might be more likely to donate
a large sum if part of the money went to charity. “My recommendation is that we move forward with a test program on it,” Davenport said. “Anybody who contributes over a threshold, a portion of that money goes to the flotilla and a portion goes to an education charity.” Vice chairman Ryan Rhodenhiser said the board had received 16 vendor applications to date. Rhodenhiser and Davenport offered the idea of giving vendor space to companies that decorate a boat. Members also discussed tying the Festival in the Park into Small Business Saturday, as they both fall on Nov. 29, 2014. No decision was reached, but the board agreed to further investigate that idea, among others, and regroup at the next meeting Aug. 25. “A lot of things going on,” Davenport said, “but no real conclusion yet … just progress.” email emmy@luminanews.com

Affordable Care Act changes predicted through the years By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
After more than half of eligible North Carolinians received insurance during the Affordable Care Act rollout, the healthcare community is gearing up for the second year of enrollment beginning Nov. 15, 2014. Lindsay Smith, marketing and public relations director at South East Area Health Education Center (SEAHEC), discussed the law’s rollout and how future implementation could change during the League of Women Voters of the Lower Cape Fear’s July 28 Hot Topic Luncheon. “We’re at the beginning of the process, so who knows where it’s going to go. This is the beginning of a transformation in healthcare. I work in healthcare and there’s a lot of shake-up going on and it’s not just on the insurance side.
The way doctors do medicine is radically changing,” Smith said. The first open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act took place Oct. 1, 2013, through March 31, 2014. Rates were based on age and location, with federal subsidies available to offset costs for applicants with incomes between 100 and 250 percent of the federal poverty level. Individuals offered insurance through employers were not eligible to receive subsidies. Although it was not a factor in the first enrollment period, Smith said marketplace insurance plans will eventually consider tobacco use as a factor in determining healthcare costs. North Carolina opted to offer insurance through the federal marketplace with 26 plans offered by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina in the Wilmington region. During the
open enrollment period, 357,584 of 581,173 eligible North Carolinians became insured. Smith said penalties for the uninsured will mount year by year. Uninsured individuals who do not qualify for an exemption from the law will be charged $95 or 1 percent of annual income when 2014 income taxes are filed. By 2015, the fee will increase to $325 or 2 percent of income and by 2016, the fee will increase to $695 per person or 2.5 percent of income. Some changes will evolve as the law is implemented in increments, like increased penalties for individuals without coverage and tobacco use as a factor considered in coverage costs, while courts will determine other changes as cases disputing the law are considered. In addition to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby decision
to exempt corporations on religious grounds from covering certain types of contraception for female workers, Smith explained conflicting rulings by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the Richmond-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit on whether language in the act renders federal subsidies offered
through state-operated exchanges illegal. Smith suggested people keep an eye on the issue, as the Supreme Court could ultimately rule on the two courts’ disagreement and adjust implementation of the law. “I think people need to pay attention to the legal battles out there because there are still changes that are being made,”
Smith said. The next open enrollment period under the Affordable Care Act will take place Nov. 15, 2014, through Feb. 15, 2015. SEAHEC serves New Hanover, Pender, Brunswick, Duplin and Columbus counties by providing training and education to improve healthcare services. email miriah@luminanews.com

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y P a t B ra d f o r d
A July proposal to weaken New Hanover County’s tree-protection rules was thankfully not acted upon by the county commissioners. The move brought forward by a developer was to weaken rules preventing developers from illegally clearing land of trees for development and saying “we didn’t know” after the fact. The developer in question, who had been cited for illegally clear land without a permit, was trying to pull the “whoopsI’m-not-from-here” card and asking the county for an ordinance amendment. The rules say post clearing development permits can be delayed by the county for up to five years, if the action by the developer in clearing the land is willful. Commissioner Beth Dawson said she had problems agreeing to changes to an ordinance brought to them by someone caught violating that ordinance. She said it would send the wrong message to those who would do and say, “sorry, I didn’t know,” afterwards. She was correct. And a proposal that a developer could lessen the consequences by making a donation to the county tree improvement fund was nothing short of ludicrous. Our tree heritage is not held dear enough by all, even though all do benefit from it. The tree, shrubbery, grass and garden wall beautification project taking place on the island side of the drawbridge to Wrightsville Beach is hard to miss. Consider it payback from the NCDOT for months of agonizing bridge closings. Now residents, property owners and visitors will have an appropriate welcome to the island. The DOT is footing the bill for the $45,000 beautification, designed and planned by its roadside environmental unit with input from the Town of Wrightsville Beach, and a contractor has been engaged to do the work. Enhancing existing trees, the beautification will place drought- and salt-tolerant native plants and additional live oak trees in the gateway to the town areas from the eastern edge of the Heide Trask Drawbridge to just past the Causeway Drive and Keel Street intersection where U.S. Hwy 74 and 76 divide opposite the post office. The beautification includes a series of edged plant beds and new tree plantings. The edges of those medians will be outlined with cobblestone pavers and Bermuda grass sod. Other small plants included in the median areas will be dwarf yaupon, red oleander, Little Richard abelia, Japanese yew, daylily, juniper, muhly grass and sage. The larger trees installed will be holly, crape myrtle and live oaks. Several of the garden walls have already been constructed along the corridor from the bridge to this area. These garden walls are about to be planted with similar landscape plantings. Soon we are told the DOT will remove the palm trees that line the north side of Wrightsville Avenue on the mainland side of the draw bridge, a move
that received much ridicule when the palm trees were installed. Most recently this strip of land was used as a staging area by the DOT for the two-and-one-halfyear-long drawbridge renovation. When American Bridge removed the construction trailer from the equipment staging area, it left a pretty unsightly mess, including a couple of big piles of soil now covered in weeds. Even though a majority of the trees look healthy, a DOT spokesman said the palm trees are all diseased and will be removed, the ground treated in October. Five new live oak trees will be planted closer to the sidewalk to allow room for the multiuse path the City of Wilmington plans to construct on that side of the Wrightsville Ave. A NCDOT crew will then install a hardscape landscape plan around the path to mimic the Wrightsville Beach side of the drawbridge. In years to come, those live oaks will be priceless. The beauty, durability and desirability of the live oak trees are undeniable; a thing of immense beauty providing a home and shelter to, at a minimum, squirrels and birds, live oak trees shade our streets, sidewalks and parking lots. In a world getting hotter every year, more shade in these locations is fast becoming a daytime necessity. By night, a canopy tree lighting proposal from the Wrightsville Beach Foundation in partnership with the Harbor Island Garden Club will, if approved by the DOT, also enhance the gateway to the island town. The groups propose to install on both island sides of the drawbridge three white LED lights per live oak tree, pending an encroachment agreement between the town and the DOT. The hope is this can be granted and the lights installed in time to light up the town beginning with this year’s N.C. Holiday Flotilla. Replacing green and red up lighting, which has drawn sharp criticism for its lackluster effect, by restoring white lighting, installing new lighting at the Welcome to Wrightsville Beach sign and adding Christmas pole lights supported by a donation by the garden club will, dare I say, usher the townspeople and its guests into joyous light. After years of orange and white barrels, new oaks and white lights will be a beautiful sight.

could probably be able to allocate it all to unincorporated inlet maintenance. Once this is done, I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to get this money back from the TDA,” Catlin said during a July 30 phone interview. David Kellam, Figure Eight Island Homeowners’ Association administrator, echoed Catlin’s concern. “Now the TDA will oversee it, and nothing at all against the TDA, it’s just there’s no guarantee that it will come back to the unincorporated waterways,” Kellam said during a July 30 phone interview. Kellam said he sees all of the county’s inlets and waterways as essential to tourism. “We’re not trying to get the funds at this time for Figure Eight, in any way, shape or form … but rather we want them to

In general Oehl said most of the people reported as missing return later that day or within one week, especially if they see their faces in newscasts, newspapers or flyers.

reentering the county jail, which includes a mental health screening form. If an inmate tells the jail’s medical staff the name of a physician or the pharmacy that fulfills a prescription, staff will confirm the information and begin administering treatment at no expense to the inmate. Robinson said inmates are sometimes unaware of a condition until completing the jail’s health screening.

be used for the benefit of inlets throughout the county. I see that being able to operate boats safely in and out of inlets, and people being able to go enjoy the inlets and recreate in and around them as they do, is a major component of recreation, travel and tourism in this area,” Kellam said. Davis said during a July 28 phone interview that a pending memorandum of agreement between the tourism development authority and beach town governments will ensure money allocated for tourism-related activities will be used for inlet dredging. Both Catlin and Kellam said they would be comfortable with the bill if the agreement is signed. “If [Davis] is able to do that, that’ll be successful. But we passed the legislation without that being in place, which was my concern,” Catlin said. “I’m glad to hear that Rep. Davis is working with the TDA
to come up with the best solution, so we may very well get to a positive outcome on this, and I hope we do,” Kellam said. Kim Hufham, president and CEO of Wilmington and Beaches Convention and Visitors Bureau, said she expects the TDA to consider the agreement during an August meeting. An informal poll conducted early in the process showed the TDA in full support of using inlet dredging as the language included in the bill, but she said the board will ultimately make the decision to support an agreement. “I cannot speak for the TDA on that because I have not spoken with any of them. We haven’t even seen an agreement yet. I know the county is working on one,” Hufham said during a July 30 phone interview. Regardless of how the agreement plays out, Catlin plans to revisit state guidelines on room occupancy tax collection and use

When filing a missing persons report for juveniles, Oehl said the most important thing is to have an updated photograph and to have knowledge of the child’s social life. “Knowing who those people are before they run away is really helpful,” Oehl said. “When you get a parent who doesn’t know anything about their child or their friends, that doesn’t help us.” Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said Wrightsville Beach does not often have many missing persons cases. Often they are younger teenagers but House said his department also receives
calls from the parents of collegeaged individuals. “We have a lot of that with college kids and nine times out of 10 we go over to their apartment, question the roommate, and they can tell us the person spent the night at someone’s house and
the county jail take medications for mental illness, or 130 of 535 inmates on average. Robinson said the most common mental illnesses among inmates are bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia and depression. Some medications prescribed for those conditions are forbidden in the jail due to an inmate’s ability to hoard it and use it as a bargaining chip for favors from other inmates. “It’s something they are supposed to take themselves, and they know it will change their body and make them act differently, so a lot of times they’ll give that to other inmates because the inmates know it will make them feel a high,” Robinson said. Alternate medications are
prescribed if an inmate’s regular medication is not allowed. Physician’s assistants contracted through Correct Care Solutions administer medications to inmates. Medications arrive via next-day shipping from Pennsylvania-based Diamond Pharmacy, a leading pharmaceutical provider for correctional facilities. In emergencies, prescriptions are filled by a local Rite-Aid. Robinson said inmates who are uncooperative with medical staff may not receive needed care — but even then, staff continues to try to help. “If a person’s uncooperative or they’re impaired to where they can’t honestly answer the questions right away, they’ll be

for his campaign, like creating jobs for middle-class families and preventing and containing crime, appeal to Republican and Democratic voters Democratic candidate Rob Zapple said he thinks his position on issues will also appeal to Republicans and Independents in addition to fellow Democrats. “For local politics, I’m sorry that we run it as one party or the other. At the county commissioner level, it should be the best person running for the job. I’m a fiscally conservative candidate. I have a broader view, what I call a common-sense view, on social issues,” Zapple said during a July 28 phone interview. Even though Zapple and fellow Democrat Patricia Spear automatically advanced to the general election without a primary battle, Zapple has kept on the campaign trail by reaching out to voters at campaign-organized events in June. “I’m really looking forward to the campaign season. I know I’ve got a good message and I’ve got a tremendous amount of support from Democrats, Independents and Republicans. Many of the issues we campaigned on two years ago, in 2012, are still very

government, marks the beginning of election season. “I feel like that is really going to be the start of getting things together,” Spear said during a July 29 phone interview. Spear said she looks forward to meeting candidates and explaining her desire to serve people
during the 2015 long session. He said the guidelines were created when more federal funds offset beach maintenance costs, and facing dwindling federal support, the rules should be changed. “Finding a way to use that unincorporated fund in the room tax would have been a step in the right direction but overall, in the long session, it’s one of my intents to really look at revisiting the standards so that we have more flexibility for our coastal areas for use of our room tax,” Catlin said. “You could spend all the money on tourism you wanted to but if there’s no beaches and no waterways and no inlets, I’m not sure it would do you any good.” Davis said he is open to any citizen input on reform of the ROT guidelines after the short session ends and before the long session begins.

Both House and Oehl said they did not see any emerging trends in runaways other than the cause. “Most of them have fights in the family or there is a lifechanging event and they are not happy about it, like their parents divorcing,” Oehl said. “Either they don’t know how to or don’t want to deal with it.

reassessed at the earliest time to make sure nothing got missed,” Robinson said. Vance Meanor, board member and past president of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in Wilmington, said housing individuals with mental illness who committed minor crimes in jails or prisons does not typically offer a lasting solution for rehabilitation. “Folks who have mental illness have an aversion to authority and discipline, and it causes them to actually have issues or problems that they might not have if they weren’t in that situation,” Meanor said during a July 29 phone interview. email miriah@luminanews.com
through county government. “I’m extremely new at this but I’m not new to talking to people. … I’m a politician that wants to help the people, and I’m going out with a pure heart to help the people,” Spear said. Republican Dr. Derrick Hickey said he spent the summer talking to citizens and business leaders to gauge concerns and desires of voters. Although he has a few fundraisers planned for September, he said his campaign is focused on issues and conversations with local voters, not money. “It will help to have some resources, some financial resources, but certainly I want my campaign to be about ideas,” Hickey said during a July 29 phone interview. Hickey said his experience on the New Hanover County school board is an advantage because people know his leadership style. “Being on the board of education for four years, I have a record doing the county business. People have been able to see how I make decisions. I’m thoughtful, respectful. I listen to everyone and formulate decisions based on what’s best for all people,” he said.

Carolina Beach Inlet impacts local economy By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
For members of the Carolina Beach Inlet Association, a study pegging Carolina Beach Inlet’s total economic impact to New Hanover County at $68 million annually supports claims repeatedly made in efforts to secure funding for inlet dredging. Even though the inlet is in Carolina Beach, advocates stress it is an economic asset to the entire county. “We call our water resources, both waterways and inlets, our infrastructure just like an interstate highway in the central part of the state. It’s our lifeline, so to speak, to keep our economic engine running for our community,” said Dennis Barbour, former Carolina Beach mayor who serves on the Carolina Beach Inlet Association, during a July 28 phone interview. Dr. Chris Dumas, economics professor at University of North Carolina Wilmington, and Dr. John Whitehead, economics professor at Appalachian State University, updated a 2009 study using input-output analysis, which tracks money as it travels through the local economy. Captain Robert Schoonmaker, Carolina Beach Inlet Association president, said he hopes elected officials invited to the meeting will realize the returns offered on investments in quarterly dredging projects that maintain the inlet’s navigability. “It’s not like they’re spending money on a rose garden. They’re spending money on infrastructure that gives them a hard return. You can see the money generated,” Schoonmaker said during a July 28 phone interview. Rep. Ted Davis Jr., R-New Hanover, has led efforts in Raleigh to find funding for shallow-draft inlet dredging during the last two legislative sessions, including a 2014 House bill setting aside a portion of room occupancy tax for the projects. Following a 2013 law that allocates state funds for shallow-draft inlet dredging if a local match is provided, Davis sought

Rogers said most of the existing research occurs in areas where rip currents are more predictable, compared to sporadic development off East Coast shorelines. “The easy research is done where there are big, fixed rips every day,” Rogers said. Some prior research in other areas suggests rip currents follow a circular course more often than a straight path offshore into deeper waters, which could change the common recommendation to escape by swimming parallel to the shore. “Traditionally, we’ve always told people to escape the rips, swim parallel to the beach, right? These circles are telling us maybe you should just tread water and stay afloat,” Brander said. Data collected by the drifters will reveal if East Coast rips also move in circuits but in the meantime, Rogers said his advice remains to exit as soon as possible if trapped in a rip current. “We think the best recommendation is still to get out of it as quickly as you can, but there are certain times where understanding that these circulation cells exist, you can put that understanding to your best advantage,” Rogers said. Brander will join the Sea Grant team for the next three weeks as it waits for word from the National Weather Service in Wilmington, forewarning of ideal rip current conditions. Lifeguards from New Hanover County beaches, including Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue, will also keep an eye on the water for emerging rip currents.
to tap ROT funds accumulated from unincorporated areas of New Hanover County for the local match. The funds were earmarked for beach renourishment in unincorporated areas, but because no beaches in need of renourishment exist in those areas, the fund has accrued more than $1 million since its 2006 creation. To comply with state guidelines on ROT collection and use, the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority must oversee use of the ROT fund, rationing two-thirds of proceeds for tourism and one-third for tourism-related activities. The fund accrues approximately $150,000 per year. The annual local match to keep Carolina Beach Inlet open and navigable totals $400,000. Davis claimed all of the $1 million currently sitting in the fund for tourism-related activities. He said a pending memorandum of agreement between the tourism development authority and beach town governments will establish shallow inlet dredging as the tourism-related activity for which the funds are used. “You can make the argument that it’s tourism-related because if you keep your inlets dredged, people are going to come down and fish, spend the night, eat in restaurants, buy gas. That’s the logic behind that,” Davis said during a July 28 phone interview. Schoonmaker said he is grateful for Davis’ work but stressed the need for additional assistance from county and state officials. “That’s a step in the right direction. Is it the answer? No, because it’s insufficient funds,” Schoonmaker said. “I hope that the county and elected officials will take note of the numbers, see the economic benefit of this inlet, sharpen their pencils and find money in their budget to keep this inlet open.” Presentation of the study will take place during an Aug. 5 meeting at the American Legion in Carolina Beach. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. The public is invited to attend. email miriah@luminanews.com
“You need to be right there and jump on it, within minutes, for the worst conditions,” Rogers said. “We need to get some bad days, so we’re perfecting the methods [now] but the really interesting work will be when we’re on call and we get some very serious rip currents that are a threat to life.” Rogers expects lower rip current activity at Wrightsville Beach so soon after the beach renourishment project. “Right now, Wrightsville Beach has very few because the beach nourishment project buried the sandbar. Without the sandbar, there are very few rip currents,” Rogers said. However, Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue Captain Jeremy Owens said while rip current activity has lessened, lifeguards still regularly spot them. “We’re still seeing some rips. It has leveled the sandbar out but we’re still definitely having a good bit of rips and the further away from renourishment, the more the sandbars will form,” Owens said during a July 24 phone interview. Owens said the Sea Grant team is scheduled to deploy the drifters at Wrightsville Beach in early August. Brad Reinhart, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wilmington, said two rip current drownings have been reported this year — one in Carolina Beach and one in Myrtle Beach, both guarded beach strands, but Myrtle Beach guards had gone home for the day. Brander and Rogers both stressed the surest way to enjoy a safe swim is to go to a guarded beach. email miriah@luminanews.com

War heroes inducted to Walk of Fame By Jackson Fuller Intern
Four Wilmington war heroes, all Medal of Honor recipients, will receive stars during Celebrate Wilmington’s Walk of Fame induction ceremony Saturday, Aug. 9. “This year is the first year we decided to go with the military theme,” said Robert Lewis, Cape Fear River Watch education specialist. “We felt that it was fitting to honor some military members in this community.” Though the 2014 induction is posthumous, Lewis said, “These are four men who the city of Wilmington can be extremely proud of.” Lewis and his team have criteria they look for when selecting new members for the Walk of Fame. Potential inductees are usually nationally and locally recognized as important in their fields. Inductees also must be born or raised, attend school, live for longer than a few months, or be buried in the Cape Fear region to be nominated as a new member. The Walk of Fame consists of stones that are permanently set into the walk, located by the Water Street entrance of the Cotton Exchange in downtown Wilmington. Each stone is marked with a star, the Celebrate Wilmington logo, the inductee’s signature and year of induction.
Typically, the Walk of Fame only introduces one or two members each year, but Celebrate Wilmington felt this year needed to be an exception. Four veterans, Edwin Anderson (Engagement at Vera Cruz), William Halyburton (World War II), Charles Murray Jr. (World War II) and Eugene Ashley Jr. (Vietnam War) are this year’s inductees. “Winning the Medal of Honor means you have done something above and beyond just being a hero,” Lewis said. “It is one of the most prestigious honors in the country and we are fortunate enough to have four different recipients over seven decades.” The induction ceremony will start at 4 p.m. Aug. 9. Lewis will speak about all four inductees before guest speaker Wilbur Jones addresses the audience. Jones is a retired U.S. Navy veteran and military historian who now lives in Wilmington. Finally, Lewis and the Celebrate Wilmington team will unveil the stones and the four inductees will officially become members of the Wilmington Walk of Fame. “I think this an exciting event for the community,” Lewis said. “The city of Wilmington will learn about and honor four of its finest members.” For more information, or to nominate someone for the walk, visit www.celebratewilmington.org

The third annual Pipeline to a Cure East gala will honor waterman Dave Kalama, Saturday, Aug. 2. Cystic fibrosis patients will have the opportunity to paddle with Kalama, renowned standup paddleboarder, who, in previous years, has been involved in Pipeline to a Cure in California. “We are very excited and honored that he will be coming out here this weekend,” said Colette Odom, Carolinas Chapter Cystic Fibrosis Development Director during a July 28 phone interview. Gala guests will have the chance
to bid on items in a live and silent auction, hear from guest speaker Dr. Scott Donaldson and listen to live music by Jack Jack 180 at The Country Club of Landfall. The 2014 event, sponsored by the George and Cynthia Mitchell Foundation, serves to highlight the connection between surfing and cystic fibrosis, and to raise awareness and funds for CF research. Cystic fibrosis, a degenerative disease causing mucus to build up in the lungs, making it difficult to take a breath, affects more than 30,000 children and adults in the United States, the foundation website states.

when researchers noticed CF patients who surfed had healthier lungs than those who did not. A trial conducted in Australia determined inhaling an aerosolized saltwater solution, mimicking a two-hour surf session, aided in thinning the mucus in the lungs of patients. In addition to giving patients the chance to get out in the water with the legendary Kalama, the foundation welcomes honored guest, Wilmington resident Howell Graham, 48, the longestsurviving patient of a double-lung transplant. Odom said she hopes to raise as much as $155,000 for cystic fibrosis research, more important now than ever, in light of recent discoveries. For the first time, scientists have developed a drug to treat cystic fibrosis at the cellular level. When the drug, Kalydeco, was originally developed in 2012, it only treated 4 percent of CF patients. The drug is now undergoing a Phase 3 trial in preparation to be submitted to the FDA. If approved, it may treat up to 60 percent of patients. Odom said although the foundation is thrilled with the progress, it won’t be satisfied until it can treat 100 percent of patients. “While we are ecstatic, we still have a lot of work to do,” Odom said. “That’s why we have events like Pipeline to a Cure. Because we can’t stop fighting.” For more information visit the event’s Facebook page or to purchase a ticket, visit www. pipelinetoacureeast.org

Bringing the Beach Together
Kayaking state of

T
he freedom, seclusion and closeness with nature are what draw many, both old and young, to kayaking in southeastern North Carolina. The areas around New Hanover County like the black rivers, the lower Cape Fear River, salt marshes, inlets and oceans have been favorites for kayakers long before paddlers of the standup variety arrived. While most beginners stick to leisurely paddles around flat water, more experienced kayakers can branch out into kayak surfing or kayak fishing as well. Chris Tryon, Hook, Line and Paddle co-owner, said kayak fishing is his favorite way to enjoy the water. With no motor, Tryon said kayak fishing allows an element of stealth that fishermen on a boat do not have. For kayak fishing, Tryon said the public accesses of the lower Cape Fear River are his favorites, with the Fort Fisher access ranking first and River Road Park second. Common catches for Tryon throughout those areas of the river are reds, flounder and trout. When he has free time, longtime kayak instructor Walter Mayo’s favorite way to spend a day in his kayak is surfing one of the many breaks along Wrightsville Beach, Masonboro Island or Carolina Beach. The inlets along those beaches provide the most challenge for experienced kayak surfers in the area, Mayo said. “It gives you currents and swell,” Mayo said. “At my level of kayaking that is what I enjoy a lot … you get thrown around a little more and it is a little more aggressive, athletic and technical.” However, when Tyron and Mayo are not casting a line or battling inlet waves, a simple paddle through one of the parks in New Hanover County can whet their kayaking appetites just as well. Mayo, of Paddle NC, leads excursions into winding salt marsh trails. “We do a lot of day trips in the basin behind Zeke’s Island and a lot of people like that because you can paddle into the salt marshes,” Mayo said. “Typically they like that because it is calmer water, sheltered, there is a lot of wildlife and it gives you a nice feeling of seclusion. I think that is one of the major appealing things about kayaking, that it offers a sense of seclusion.” While gliding through the fertile fisheries that are the salt marshes, each bend in the trail may surprise an egret, startle a crab or jump a fish. An area with abundant salt marsh kayaking opportunities is Masonboro Island, with accesses from public boat ramps like Trails End Park. Tryon said kayakers hoping to explore those marshes should shove off from the dock at least three hours into a rising tide to get the most out of the paddle as more and more paths open with the rising water line. As for the rest of the county, Tryon said another one of his favorite paddles is on the Northeast Cape Fear River from River Side Park in Castle Hayne. This paddle offers a tour of the Black River environment, which varies greatly from the coastal paddle trails because it is more sheltered and has a different collection of wildlife. For longer paddles during the day, Tryon suggested packing water, a snack, good paddling shoes, a small to medium dry bag for rain gear, and a life jacket and whistle, which are required for a trip of any length.
Top: A lone kayaker paddles north along Banks Channel during sunset. Above: Banks Channel and Lees Cut are popular kayaking destinations for kayak fishermen and those out for a leisurely paddle.
Mayo said overnight kayaking trips can be another way to enjoy the seclusion of kayaking. “Overnight trips are one of my favorite things to do because you are getting out there and away from the crowds,” he said. “You can make the paddle as long or as short as you want and as fast as you want.” Mayo said campsites for overnight kayaking trips could be found along Masonboro Island and on some of the dredge spoil islands in the lower Cape Fear River. Important gear to pack for those trips includes light cook wear, tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, a minimal amount of clothing with paddling clothes and dry clothes, and a soft cooler packed with light food that will stay dry. No matter how long the paddle is, Mayo said kayaking is still a great way to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. “One of the nice things about it is you are only thinking about and dealing with one thing,” Mayo said. “When you are working or at home you are dealing with so many things in your life, but when you are out on the water paddling, it calms everything down and brings you into the moment. You are only worried about putting your paddle in the water and gliding along.” For a map of all New Hanover County public water access points, visit parks.nhcgov.com For a list of all Wrightsville Beach public water accesses, visit www.townofwrightsvillebeach.com email cole@luminanews.com

South end nature hikes offer close-up learning By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
Ever wonder what keeps the dunes stabilized? What marine life occupies a particular shell? Interpretative hikes around the south end of Wrightsville Beach, organized by the N.C. Coastal Reserve and National Estuarine Research Reserve, can provide the answers. Marie Davis, an environmental educator with the reserve who leads the hikes, said the programs were designed to teach people about life on barrier islands like Masonboro Island and Wrightsville Beach through visual and tactile experience. The reserve offers similar programs at Masonboro Island, but Davis said the programs at Wrightsville Beach allow people who can’t make it to Masonboro for events access to the same information. “It’s a great opportunity
because we don’t have transportation to bring people over to the reserve. It was a way to still be able to talk about the same things, similar to what I talk about when I do programs at the reserve, but to reach more people who would be limited because they don’t have a boat or can’t afford the water taxi out there,” Davis said. The hikes began in late June and continue on Tuesdays through Aug. 19, with three themes rotating weekly. The plant and animal life found on barrier islands are identified and explained during the Residents of the Reserve hike, while the Invertebrate Investigation hike focuses on spineless creatures like jellyfish, horseshoe crabs and oysters. The Plastics in Paradise hike explores the impact of litter on marine life, outlining what people can do to properly store debris — even debris that seems
as harmless as fishing line thrown off the pier, which recently got wrapped around a nesting bird’s leg and inhibited the bird from caring for her nest. Davis said people respond positively to the message even though it can be discouraging to learn about the impacts. “It’s great to see an ah-ha moment of, ‘Oh, I’m not going to do that anymore.’ It’s kind of a depressing topic so it’s something that creates a great dialogue and personal ways that they connect with it,” Davis said. Davis incorporates the south end bird sanctuary into each hike, drawing connections between the theme and the birds. “They gain knowledge about beach nesting shorebirds and how they can protect them, especially because they nest on the open sand in a scrape with camouflaged eggs and camouflaged chicks,” Davis said. The size of each group of hikers
varies from two to 25 people, with a mix of visitors and residents attending. Davis said she accommodates as many people as necessary. “It’s nice to reach out to visitors so they understand how important it is, but we live here. We’re
living it every day so we see all the time what’s going on but it’s nice to make those connections,” Davis said. The program is free. Reservations by emailing marie. davis@ncdenr.gov are preferred but all are welcome.
The Residents of the Reserve program is planned for Aug. 5, Plastic in Paradise Aug. 12 and the Invertebrate Investigation Aug. 19. The groups meet at the gazebo near Public Beach Access No. 43 at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. email miriah@luminanews.com

Afternoon beachgoers passing Annex Surf Supply at Wrightsville Beach Saturday, July 26, found themselves drawn in by the sounds of laughter and music and the smell of barbecue on the grill. As curious groups of people wandered past the table of free food and into the Annex’s eclectic interior, they were met immediately by a row of canvases painted by Outer Banks artist Travis Fowler. Nearby, Mickey Stope and Evan Weinstein displayed their art, while the opposite wall featured the work of Volcom artist Jamie Browne. The Annex and Volcom brought the four artists together for the Sticks, Stones and Broken Bones art show to benefit Hope From Helen. Since its grand opening in 2013, the Annex has showcased local art, music and culture, with much of the proceeds from the events going to local charities. “We try to keep to gear [the proceeds] toward the local charities in town so people can see where it’s going,” said Chris Batten, Annex managing partner. Batten said that it was a natural choice to donate 30 percent of the proceeds from the art show to Hope From Helen because of everything that founder Tony Butler has done for the community. “Tony is a good ambassador for our beach and for our community, so it’s a no-brainer to support him,” Batten said. “He’s been on the scene a long time … if we can chip in hopefully it goes a long way to keep him doing what he’s doing.” Browne agreed, saying although it was difficult to part with the work he had put so much time and creativity into, he was glad the money could go to a worthy cause. “This is the first time I’ve sold my work,” he said. “If I’m letting it go, though, at least it’s going toward something good rather than just

in my pocket.” The Sticks, Stones and Broken Bones show centered around ink drawings created by Browne, who is originally from Australia but currently resides in California. Volcom flew Browne, along with his art, to North Carolina for the show. “It was an excuse to get out here,” Browne said. “I’m absolutely stoked, loving it here. I’m loving the humidity, the beach, the people. Everyone’s so friendly and laid back here and it really feels natural.” Browne’s intricate ink drawings were sketched on anything from plain white paper to drink coasters and brown paper bags. Although his quirky style was inspired by the surf and music culture of Sydney, Australia, his art had a similar vibe to the three local artists who joined him in the Sticks and Stones show. Fowler, Weinstein and Stope earned the right to show their art alongside Browne’s after submitting work samples to the Annex through social media. All artists in the region were invited to send in photos of their best pieces using the hashtag #SticksStonesAndBrokenBones. “We were only going to choose one,” Batten said. “But there were so many good ones … we couldn’t really pass up any of these three artists.” Fowler’s work featured a bright color palette, which created an interesting contrast with his darker subject matter of disjointed limbs, faces and skulls. Stope also painted skulls, using bold colors to create surreal, psychedelic images. Weinstein’s body of work included typography and calligraphy, reflecting his background as a graphic designer. Batten added he was excited to give these artists the opportunity to show their work alongside someone like Browne. “Some of them have never done art shows before so for this to be on their resume, it’s pretty killer,” Batten said. email emmy@luminanews.com

Student river keepers schooled during Eco-Camp By Thomas van Arsdale Intern
The Cape Fear River Watch will host its summer Eco-Camp, a hands-on opportunity for kids ages 9-12 to learn about their impact on the watershed. A watershed, explained KayLynn Plummer-Hernandez, Cape Fear River Watch education specialist, is an area of land that goes from a high point to a low point. When it rains, all of the rainwater will condense in a specific body of water. The Cape Fear River basin is the largest river basin in the state of North Carolina. To protect and improve the water quality and environmental sustainability of
the lower Cape Fear, Wilmington citizens began the nonprofit Cape Fear River Watch in 1993. Its members are committed to educating local citizens, advocating on the river’s behalf and taking action to preserve the region’s environmental future. “Eco-Camp helps kids understand their role in controlling nonpoint source pollution, or the amount of pollution that starts in the watershed and ends up polluting the river,” PlummerHernandez said during a July 25 phone interview. Eco-Camp, Aug. 4-8, will begin with the Enviroscape, a scaled-down topographic model of a watershed that will visually demonstrate how nonpoint

pollutants enter the waterways and affect wildlife, water quality and human health. “We then talk to the kids about the alternatives to using pesticides and fertilizers, the importance of planting native plants, simple things like where to wash a car: in the driveway, but up on the grass,” PlummerHernandez said. During the five-day camp, kids will spot alligators, yellow-bellied sliders and the carnivorous Venus flytrap while cruising up the northeast Cape Fear river, hiking Carolina Beach State Park with a park ranger and paddleboating around Greenfield Lake. “Because Greenfield Lake is a 90-acre wetland ecosystem,” Plummer-Hernandez said, “it cleans up all of the pollutants before they make it to the river. So for the kids it’s something where they can easily see how all these nonpoint pollutants affect an urban waterway.” During the last day of the Eco-Camp, kids will ride on the Southport ferry to see where two major river basins converge and enter the Atlantic Ocean. “It’s a good place to show them the big picture of where everything meets,” PlummerHernandez said. Kids will comb the beach for trash, identify shells and birds, eat lunch on the gazebo and talk about the importance of land conservation. Plummer-Hernandez believes Eco-Camp will encompass the entire Cape Fear River Watch mission statement. “The Eco-Camp utilizes education, advocacy and action to encourage kids to protect and improve the lower Cape Fear River basin. We believe that every child should be eligible to be educated,” she said. More than half of this year’s campers

will receive full scholarships to attend. “When I became the Cape Fear River Watch Education Specialist, I wanted to be able to provide a fun, educational experience for children no matter their family’s income,” PlummerHernandez said. Supported with a $3,100 grant from the Landfall Foundation, 19 campers from low-income families will attend completely free. “These are kids that have had fewer opportunities and probably wouldn’t be exposed to the ecological aspects of the Cape Fear River,” Landfall Foundation President Bill Hamlet said during a July 26 phone interview. “Think about when you were growing up in the 9-to-12-yearold range, just old enough to be adventuresome. It is the perfect time to emphasize science, and Eco-Camp is hands-on science. This is not theoretical.” The Landfall Foundation awarded 71 grants to local 501(c)(3)
nonprofits in 2013, totaling more than $280,000. This is the second year the foundation will sponsor Eco-Camp. Hamlet said the EcoCamp program received a grant because it matches the ideals of the Landfall Foundation to promote education. “The watershed affects your drinking water. It affects the fish and oysters. It affects everything,” Hamlet said. “The Cape Fear River is the historical basis of the Port City, and the EcoCamp gets kids interested in marine biology and their city.” Cameron Weaver, father of a second-year Eco-Camper agreed. “Last year, Eco-Camp gave my son Matthew the opportunity to be a naturalist in the outdoor setting under the supervision of wildlife specialists, and also expand his interest in marine biology,” Weaver said during a July 28 phone interview. “It opens the door for kids to find fun in nature, and exposes them to the ways in which they can help keep
the river clean, and reach out to people in the community.” This year, Matthew Weaver was hoping to attend the Waterkeeper Camp, a more sophisticated program on water quality monitoring and mapping, previously hosted by the Cape Fear River Watch, but due to a lack in funding, is not offered this summer. “It’s awesome what the Landfall Foundation has contributed, but I hope other organizations will see the great benefits of this program and want to donate to it in the future,” Weaver said. “It is so beneficial to a child’s education, and inspires them to pay more attention to science in school.” The Cape Fear River Watch will host Eco-Camp from Aug. 4-8, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Enrollment is $190.

Haneman tournament inspires fishing, benefits community By Sarah Thomas Intern
The 15th annual Eddy Haneman Sailfish Tournament focused mainly on community, as most winners donated their prizes to a family in need. Tournament co-director Tripp Brice said the tournament keeps Haneman’s legacy as a kind and humble man alive. “I love seeing everybody getting together and the camaraderie of fishing,” Brice said. “But the primary focus of the tournament has become helping those in need in the community and keeping
Eddy’s name alive.” The tournament remembering Capt’n Eddy ran from July 25-27 from the Bridge Tender Marina. An awards ceremony was held at the Bridge Tender Sunday, July 27, in which tournament directors Brice and Kit Taylor announced the winners and awarded prizes. As in past years, winners donated their winnings to a family in need. This year’s recipient was 10-year-old Jacob Woody, who was born with a congenital heart defect, his mother said. Woody suffered heart failure shortly after he was born, but recovered and
was healthy and energetic through most of his childhood. In the past year or so, however, he experienced many problems while trying to compete in sports, his mother said. After visiting doctors, they discovered that he needed openheart surgery. Buz and Parrish Warren of the Decoy took first place overall for catching and releasing the most sailfish and donated the majority of their winnings to the Woody family. Prizes were also awarded for the first sailfish caught, the last sailfish caught, the 15th sailfish caught and the heaviest dolphin.
Forty boats participated in this year’s event. The water was rough Friday, Brice said, but Saturday, the weather was beautiful. An 18-foot boat, the smallest in the tournament, was able to participate. The event was in keeping with Capt’n Eddy’s spirit.
“I fished with Capt’n Eddy when I was 12 or 13,” Buz Warren said. “I have fond memories of him and really enjoy this tournament.” Along with the donations from the winners, proceeds from an auction will also go to the family. The auction included items that Capt’n Eddy used on his charter
boat in the 1940s, such as fishing rods and a flag. A raffle was also held using items that were donated by local businesses. Prizes such as fishing rods, home décor and fishing gear were given out. The tournament also donated $5,000 to Lower Cape Fear Hospice.

Davenport to swing a racquet during Landfall tennis exhibition By Sarah Thomas
4/29/2014 5:08:13 PM
Intern
The 2014 Legends of Tennis event, hosted and managed by the Landfall Foundation for the first time this year, will feature headlining tennis star Lindsey Davenport. Davenport will match up against returning players Rennae Stubs, Jimmy Arias and Luke Jensen. All money raised by the event goes to local nonprofit organizations, and both the attendees and the players get into the spirit of raising funds for charity, said Charlie Owens, Landfall director of tennis. “The players really get in the spirit of the event,” Owens said. “Their matches are highly competitive, and they’ll usually donate a racquet to the auction to help out.” The University of North Carolina Wilmington tennis team is one recipient of funds. A few of its players usually play exhibition matches during the event, and the players help Landfall with seating and other jobs, Owens said. Two days of tennis matches will take place Friday, Sept. 19 and Saturday, Sept. 20, with an auction party Saturday evening, Owens said. Landfall will auction off a few large items, along with items donated by players, which in the past have included a free lesson with the player and tennis gear. The Legends of Tennis event began in the early
90s and ran through 2002 uninterrupted. Landfall didn’t host the event again until 2010, but it has taken place every year since, Owens said. The 2013 event drew the biggest turnout, with around 500 people in attendance. The 2014 event wil be managed by the Landfall Foundation, which formed in 1995 to raise money for and contribute to Wilmington-area nonprofits. Anyone is welcome, and Landfall is selling four-person courtside seating for $550, including passes to the party. People can also purchase a day pass for bleacher seating for $25. Sponsors will receive seating, passes to the party and passes to a Saturday morning clinic. Owens will run the clinic, and the players will assist in coaching on the courts. Each will run a court based on a certain skill, such as serves or backhands. Participants will visit all of the courts in rotation. Landfall’s junior players always benefit from Legends of Tennis, Owens said, by talking to the players, watching them play and even snagging photos and autographs. Many of Landfall’s juniors are trained to be ball boys and girls for the event. “You always play better tennis after you’ve watched these great players play,” Owens said. “You can’t get any closer to the court than you can during this event. You don’t get this kind of intimacy at the U.S. Open.”

New food trucks continue to pop up around Wilmington like Vittles, opened by former 1900 chef Kirsten Mitchell, shown here at Satellite Lounge Sunday, July 27, .
By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
In the ever-shifting landscape of Wilmington chefs, restaurants and food trucks, three Wrightsville Sound eateries have followed suit. After nearly two years of owning Beach Bagels, Phil Santomassi decided to take a break from the bagel business. Patrons of the Wrightsville Avenue bagel shop need not worry about filling the bagel hole, however, as new owner Tony Di Norcia does not plan to make any drastic changes to operations. “My wife and I have been working seven days a week for 22 months now so it was time for a break,” Santomassi said. Santomassi hinted at returning to the Wilmington food scene after a break by possibly opening another bagel shop elsewhere in Wilmington. Across Wrightsville Avenue in Lumina Commons, the former Incredible Pizza location’s transformation into Bessie and Guiseppe’s is now complete, and the burger
and pizza joint opened Monday, July 21. Owned by the King Neptune Restaurant team of Earl and Danny McPherson, Bessie and Guiseppe features signature pizzas, like roasted artichoke and spinach, and buffalo chicken with optional vegan cheese and gluten-free crust. Other offerings include calzones and Bessie Burgers, like the breakfast burger and southwest burger with patties made of certified Angus Beef ground chuck and sirloin. While the McPhersons chose to open another brick and mortar restaurant, longtime 1900 chef Kirsten Mitchell decided to take her act on the road in the form of the Vittles food truck. Regularly stationed behind Castle Branch’s new facility on Sir Tyler Drive for lunch Tuesday through Friday, Vittles also frequents Liberty Tavern on Wednesday nights, Fermental on Friday nights and Satellite Lounge on Sundays. The inspiration for the food served at Vittles comes from an international palate and North Carolina ingredients, Mitchell said.
“I tried to take international inspirations and cook them with North Carolina ingredients,” Mitchell said. “For example, I am going to do a spring roll with collards, sweet potato, carrots and maybe a pepper jelly dipping sauce.” Making the move from fine dining to food truck fare has been more difficult than Mitchell imagined. “It is a lot more challenging than I thought it was going to be,” she said. “The awesome thing is, in a kitchen you can never really see outside and now we are outside all the time and our scenery is always changing.” Other staples on the Vittles menu include homemade sweet potato fries, fried okra with Korean sauce, green curry BBQ sliders with kale slaw, BLTs and fried chicken sandwiches with pickles. As for the name of her truck, Mitchell said it harkens back to a memorable childhood math teacher who would regularly announce lunchtime by proclaiming, “It’s time to eat your vittles!” email cole@luminanews.com
What does investment risk mean to you? To many people, it’s simply the risk of losing principal when the value of their investments drop. And to help lower this risk, some investors reduce their holdings in those investments, such as stocks, whose value will constantly fluctuate. But is this a good idea? Actually, such a move can have negative consequences. For one Dave Dupont thing, stocks provide more long-term growth potential than other financial assets — including bonds, Treasury bills and certificates of deposit (CDs) — and you will certainly need this type of growth to help achieve your long-term goals, such as a comfortable retirement. But just as importantly, even if you minimized your exposure to stocks and focused on other investments, you’d discover that all investments carry some type of risk. Some risks include: • Purchasing power risk. In recent years, we’ve experienced relatively mild inflation. But over time, even a low inflation rate can erode the value of your savings. If you overload your portfolio with fixed-rate investments — such as CDs and money market accounts — with returns that may not keep up with inflation, you may incur purchasing-power risk. • Liquidity risk. If you ever need to “cash out” some of your stocks and bonds, you won’t have much trouble selling them. But other types of investments are more illiquid. For example, if you buy shares in a limited partnership that invests in real estate, oil and gas exploration, equipment leasing or other activities, you could eventually make a profit, but you still might have trouble selling your shares at a specific time. • Credit risk. If you want to receive a higher interest rate than that offered by “investment-grade” bonds, you might decide to purchase a bond that receives a lower grade from one of the independent rating agencies. In exchange for the higher interest rate, though, you take on more credit risk — the risk that the bond issuer may default, possibly depriving you of the return of your principal. So-called “junk bonds” typically offer the highest interest rates and carry the highest degree of credit risk. • Currency risk. When you invest in non-U.S. companies, or in bonds issued by foreign governments, you might experience currency risk, which means that changes in the value of the U.S. dollar, relative to foreign currencies, could harm the value of your investments. By being aware of the different types of risks associated with various investments, you can avoid unpleasant surprises.

Sherman’s Lagoon
By Jim Toomey
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 You shall receive power Week 3, in a multi-part series
onders
Signs and wonders played a critical role in the ministry of Jesus and throughout the New Testament. Miracles drew the multitudes to hear the truth and confirmed the validity of the message and messengers while revealing the true nature of our loving and compassionate God. Researching this topic in the 1980s, I could not help but wonder, where are these miracles in the church today? Jesus put signs and wonders on the forefront of His ministry and commanded all believers to do the same. Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father (John 14:12 NKJV). In his letters to the Corinthians, Paul tells the new church these supernatural gifts are to remain until Jesus returns and we see Him face to face (I Corinthians 13:8-12 NKJV). For the church to do the works that He did, much less greater works, we should be growing in the power of the Holy Spirit, instead of trying to explain Him away. Even though the disciples had been born of the Spirit and had performed mighty works, Jesus commanded them to stay in Jerusalem to be baptized in the Holy Spirit. Some of them surely wondered, as some do today, why was it so important to be baptized in the Holy Spirit, especially since He came into us when we were saved? Why do we need this other experience? The answer is simple, power; But you shall receive power when

the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me … (Acts 1:8 NKJV). This is supernatural power to demonstrate the reality of the living Savior and to minister to the sick and broken. To win an entire city, Jesus used the power of a simple “Word of Knowledge,” one of the nine gifts given to us by the Holy Spirit. Many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, “He told me all that I ever did” (John 4:18, 39 NKJV). Paul greatly affected the entire city of Ephesus, turning them from their idols and magical arts to the living savior (Acts 19:19). And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God (I Corinthians 2:4-5 NKJV). Over the past few decades we have seen or heard of a few ministers used mightily in this supernatural power. Through the ministry of these few superstars, seemingly impossible situations were dramatically and totally changed, sweeping millions into the Kingdom of God. Entire denominations have been established to perpetuate this power. The baptism, or infilling, of the Holy Spirit has come out of the shadows of fanaticism and into the largest churches throughout the world. But, all of this has failed to meet God’s original mandate. The infilling of the Holy Spirit, and the gifts that accompany, are for all who believe, not just for a few superstars (I Corinthians 12:7-11; Mark 16:15-20).

(Psa 147:11 NRSV) But the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love. (Psa 149:4 NRSV) For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory. (Luke 12:32 NRSV) Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. (Ezek 18:32 NIV) For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! (Dan 4:2 NIV) It is my pleasure to tell you about the miraculous signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me. (Luke 10:21 NIV) At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.”

Inspired by executive director Madeline Flagler, who coaxed board members into preparing a light summer supper from recipes old and new, the table is set with artifacts from the museum’s collection with garden flowers selected and arranged by Sandy May.

1 tablespoon hot sauce ¼ tablespoon red pepper, ground 4 garlic cloves, minced 3 pounds shrimp, unpeeled 2 large lemons, thinly sliced
Preparation: Combine first nine ingredients, stirring well. Layer shrimp and lemon slices in a 3-quart dish. Pour rosemary/lemon mixture over all. Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring once. Be sure to have plenty of bread for dipping in the delicious broth.
Makes 6 servings.
