By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

Goolsby, who represented District 9 since 2011, resigned from his post in an Aug. 2 letter to McCrory. Goolsby’s spokesperson, Dee Stewart, said he supported Lee as his successor because the few months in Raleigh would give him an advantage if elected. New Hanover County GOP Chairman Sam Ibrahim said Lee was the only candidate nominated, prompting little discussion from the approximately 35 committee members present. Lee ran for the seat in 2010, when he was defeated by
Board of Aldermen to discuss plans for West Salisbury property By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
During its monthly meeting Thursday, Aug. 14, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will hear director of planning and parks Tony Wilson’s unfavorable recommendation regarding the consideration of a mixed-use conditional use permit for 100 West Salisbury St. The property was previously a convenience store but has been vacant for several years. The mixeduse development project would designate one floor of the building for three residential units and the other floor for retail and office use. The development would require 27 parking spaces. With only 17 parking spaces on site, the applicant would need a parking exception for
10 additional spaces located within 400 feet of the main entrance to the building. Because finding these extra 10 spaces could be problematic, the board will discuss any possible exceptions to the 27-space requirement. It will consider the time of day the residential spaces and the business spaces would be occupied, and whether those times would actually overlap that often. The planning board, which voted 3-1 to forward an unfavorable recommendation to the board of aldermen, was concerned the project would create office and retail space when town policy encourages commercial space, such as grocery stores, drug stores and restaurants, which provide basic goods and service to year-round residents and visitors. Among the issues the board will consider are pedestrian and vehicular traffic on West Salisbury

As nesting season wraps up at the south end of Wrightsville Beach, Audubon North Carolina is beginning to shift focus to the inlets, where the birds prepare for the long journey to winter grounds. Lindsay Addison, coastal biologist with Audubon North Carolina, said the south end colony had a successful nesting season overall despite a loss of open, sandy habitat some birds prefer following the beach renourishment project earlier in 2014. Black skimmers produced approximately 0.7 fledglings per pair, with a high count of 69 fledglings for 101 pairs of nesting birds. The black skimmers did not fare as well as they did in 2013, when 137 pairs fledged on average one chick per pair. Black skimmers will nest on sparsely vegetated stretches of sand, unlike least terns. A handful of least tern pairs attempted to nest at the south end but the habitat they prefer was dredged away and no pairs were successful. In 2013, more than 250 pairs of nesting least terns settled on the south end of Wrightsville Beach. A dozen pairs of common terns fledged a dozen chicks and two pairs of American

Partnership keeps 2014 UNCW Beach Blast safe, fun By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
When more than 3,000 college students swarm the beach at Crystal Pier Aug. 19, both Wrightsville Beach and University of North Carolina Wilmington officials said years of partnership ensure the 2014 UNCW Beach Blast will unfold problem-free. “We have very, very little incident down there. For the most part, it’s a well-run event,” said Wrightsville Beach Police Department Captain Michael Core during an Aug. 12 phone interview. Jon Kapell, director for campus activities and involvement with UNCW, said the longstanding tradition provides one last chance for students to enjoy the summer before classes start the next day. The university takes many precautions to keep the event under control. Three Wrightsville Beach police officers are contracted through the university each year for the afternoon. The officers work with security officers, student staff and more than 40 full-time professional staff members. Students with a valid student ID are shuttled to and from the beach to alleviate traffic on the island. Bags and coolers are
checked for alcohol before students board the shuttles and at every entrance to the event. Kapell said the number of students caught in violation of the no-alcohol policy has dropped in recent years. He attributes the drop to a change in Beach Blast’s culture. “We’ve changed the culture of the event. Students want to come to an event where they’re not dealing with drunken beachgoers and they don’t want to be the individuals who do those things,” Kapell said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. Wrightsville Beach Park Ranger Shannon Slocum said the event is an opportunity to educate new students about rules on the beach. “It really gives me a good chance to talk to these kids and give them the skinny on the beach because they’ll be here for the next four years. A lot of times it’s questions from A to Z about the beach and what the laws are,” Slocum said. “It’s their golden opportunity to ask questions before we talk to them at a later date.” Slocum commended university staff and students for their stewardship of the beach. “They really promote picking up behind yourself out there. UNCW has always been
Marketing
committee talks social media, new branding platform By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
The Wrightsville Beach Marketing Advisory Committee celebrated several 2013-14 fiscal year end successes during its Aug. 12 meeting. Shawn Braden, Wilmington Beaches and Convention Visitors Bureau vice president of marketing, reported Wrightsville Beach finished the fiscal year up 5.24 percent. “This is the third consecutive fiscal year we’ve achieved ROT benchmarks,” Braden said. “With weather, with Arthur, you name it. We were really excited about that.” Braden also brought up two major accolades Wrightsville Beach had received in the past year. National Geographic voted Wrightsville Beach one of America’s Best Beach Towns and USA Today listed the Blockade Runner Beach Resort in its 10 Best: Beach resort kids’ clubs. Braden highlighted several ways her organization advertised the accolades, including posting the news to various social media platforms as well as the Town of Wrightsville Beach website. She said she would continue to pursue instate media outlets to receive additional coverage about both accolades. Braden explained how Leah Knepper, French West Vaughan account director, used various forms of social media to promote newsworthy information about the town. “Anytime we have breaking news, she’s using Twitter, so if we get accolades she immediately posts those,” Braden said. Because Knepper could not attend the meeting in person, the committee contacted her by phone to learn how to take full advantage of the advertising potential of social media. The committee members inquired about promoted posts, a Facebook feature that allows businesses to pay a fee to have their post seen by more users. “We look for posts that are trending upward, with lots of people are talking about it and interacting with it,” Knepper explained. “The way Facebook algorithms work, if we have a post that’s trending upwards, we put an additional budget behind it to exponentially increase the number of people that see it.” The committee members decided to address the issue of promoted posts, and specifically how to budget them, in more depth at the next meeting. During the second half of the meeting, Scott Scaggs and Natalie Perkins of Clean Design presented a new advertising campaign, which will run in various digital and print publications in the coming year. A North Carolina Division of Tourism focus group study revealed specific reasons people are less likely to travel to towns like Wrightsville Beach, including a colder climate and lack of kid-friendly activities. Based on that information, Clean Design pitched two concepts, communicating the message of “vibrant and alive” as a brand platform. One set of ads emphasized the fun activities in the area while the other set focused on quality time with family and friends. Both concepts utilized photographs of the Wrightsville Beach community to capture attention. “Visually is definitely the best way to get across this idea of engaging activities,” Scaggs said, “and we get an emotional response from an image.” email emmy@luminanews.com

a champion of making sure the place looks cleaner than it was before,” Slocum said. Following the event, the UNCW chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will host a beach sweep to clean up and offer an
opportunity for students to get involved in efforts to preserve and protect the beach. Kapell said the university values its relationship with Wrightsville Beach and hopes to maintain the confidence of town
officials and residents by leaving the beach in the best possible shape. “We’ve enjoyed the relationship and the opportunity to have the event at Wrightsville Beach and we look forward to many
more continued years,” Kapell said. In the event of inclement weather, Beach Blast will be cancelled. email miriah@luminanews.com
Citizen involvement moves comprehensive plan forward By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
New Hanover County’s first comprehensive plan is one step closer to completion. During an Aug. 12 presentation, county planning staff and community volunteers presented 25 citizen-generated priorities to shape future growth. Jennifer Rigby, the county’s long-range planner in charge of the plan, commended 161 volunteers for logging more than 800 hours from March through July to brainstorm and draft the policies. “Sometimes conversations were lively and spirited in our theme committee meetings but the one thing that remained the same was that we all have shared one goal, and that was to make New Hanover County a place that our children and our grandchildren
would want to grow up in,” Rigby said during the presentation. Volunteers worked in six committees, each focused on priorities for future growth including: fair and equitable access to needs like safety, health services and housing; economic resiliency; infrastructure development that retains quality-of-life and preserves natural resources; and compatibility and cooperation with adjacent jurisdictions for regional growth. The draft policies will now move to a citizen advisory committee, comprised of six county commission appointees and one representative from each theme committee. The citizen advisory committee will use public feedback to refine the draft policies before turning them over to the county planning board. David Kellam, Figure Eight Island Homeowners’ Association
administrator, was appointed by county commissioners to serve on the committee. Kellam said he wanted to get involved in the plan to ensure the county’s resources remain protected and available for public use. “One of my main focuses is trying to protect natural environments and waters, the beaches,” Kellam said. “We don’t want to get so developed and congested that our recreational opportunities are severely impacted.” The citizen advisory committee will meet in October and November, and Rigby encouraged the community to stay involved by attending the meetings. Through Aug. 31 comments on the policies can be emailed to plannhc@nhcgov.com. “We’re going to have maps out on the table. People can draw on them and tell us what they want
their community to look like so we can go back and craft the regulations to make it happen,” Rigby said. Katharine Ange, an American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) principal with the Renaissance Planning Group, will help the county planning staff translate the citizen goals and draft policies into real-world situations and solutions. “Now the challenge begins, which is to take the words and aspirations and actually mold that into . . . options for how this turns into policy and shapes the built environment of the future,” Ange said. The comprehensive plan, slated for June 2015 completion, will update and replace existing Coastal Area Management Act land use guidelines and direct development through 2040. email miriah@luminanews.com
Residents relieved by parking lot fence By Thomas van Arsdale Intern
The parking lot at Roberts Market is now in compliance with terms in its conditional use permit after construction of a new fence bordering Channel Avenue completed Aug. 5.

New bar opens in Wrightsville Beach By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
A new bar will open its doors in downtown Wrightsville Beach Friday, Aug. 15. With the 40th anniversary of Red Dogs approaching in 2015, owner Charlie Maultsby is turning over the first floor of the bar to Jimmy Gilleece, who is planning to reopen the establishment under the name Jimmy’s at Red Dogs.
“This is the original Red Dogs downstairs so I wouldn’t want to be the guy that closed down original Red Dogs after 40 years.” “I wanted to keep that connection with Red Dogs but I need to let everybody know it’s a different place,” Gilleece said. “This is the original Red Dogs downstairs so I wouldn’t want to be the guy that closed down original Red Dogs after 40 years.” When it first opened in 1975, Red Dogs did not have the same dance club vibe for which it is known today. Maultsby recalled the bar going through several distinct phases over the years. “At first I just had the downstairs open and the top was apartments,” he said. “It was beach music until ’82 or ’83. Then we kind of switched over to surf music and a little bit of dance music like Michael Jackson. Now it’s pretty much all dance and hip hop.” While the original Red Dogs was only the first floor, in recent years it was the second floor that attracted most of the business. Maultsby said he only needed to open up the first floor of the bar during busy summer months. “And it was like, I’m spending money paying rent on it and we didn’t need it,” Maultsby said. “I asked [Jimmy], ‘Are you interested in the downstairs?’ And he said, ‘Yeah,’ so I subleased it to him.” Gilleece was eager to run his own bar after years of bartending around Wilmington. With four established bars in such close proximity in downtown Wrightsville Beach, he said it was important to bring something new to the scene. “I think I’m going to have a country night on Wednesdays, have one-man acoustic stuff,” he said during a July 31 phone interview. “Maybe open up the front of it, fresh air.” Gilleece’s updates included major renovations to the interior. To receive a commercial ABC permit, Gilleece had to permanently close the door
leading to the second floor. He installed new TVs on the walls, removed the existing booths, made upgrades to the bathrooms and built a rustic new countertop out of wood from a recently demolished barn. He left certain elements of the original building intact, including a safe that dated back to the 1930s when the room was used as a pharmacy. Gilleece said bringing something new to the scene was not only beneficial to his own business but also highly encouraged by the owners of nearby establishments such as Jerry Allen’s Sports Bar and Grille, 22 North Restaurant and Lagerheads Tavern. Maultsby explained the unofficial agreement that existed between the businesses’ management. “The only thing we discussed when Jimmy took over was, I said, ‘You can’t do anything to compete directly with me,’” Maultsby said, “and he doesn’t want to. Everybody down here has their own little niche and everybody’s got their own clientele.” Co-owner of Jerry Allen’s Sports Bar and Grille, Kelly Baucom, said the bar owners operate as more of a team than competition, and the excitement surrounding Gilleece’s new bar would most likely bring more business to the surrounding bars as well. “When you’re down at the beach you’re never going to just go to one place,” Baucom said during an Aug. 12 phone interview. “You’re going to venture around and see what else is going on. ... The more people that come to our area, the more business it’s going to create all the way around.” Gilleece said he expects to attract a slightly older crowd than
Red Dogs upstairs. “We’re having longer hours, open from noon to 2 in the morning,” he said. “The target would be maybe late 20s up to 60s. ...
It’s just going to evolve and you have to go with the flow. It’s probably what Red Dogs originally started out as.” email emmy@luminanews.com

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y P a t B ra d f o r d
Last month at the end of the legislative short session, North Carolina State Senator Thom Goolsby resigned his 9th district senate seat. Some might say, yea!; In his second term, Goolsby was not particularly popular with constituents. Goolsby won election over former University of North Carolina Wilmington Chancellor James Leutze for that seat in 2010. He was re-elected by voters in 2012. His popularity as an elected official may have been hampered by his voting record, which didn’t always match up with what he said, like his lip service to transparency in government. Unhappy Wilmington women picketed his law office for Mondays on end. One has to wonder, was the Grand Old Party embarrassed by the “Goolsby’s Gotta Go!” protests? Or the unflattering news coverage in national publications like the Huffington Post? That he referred to the Capital lawn Moral Monday crowd as “morons” entrenched the ire further, and both the unflattering news stories and the picketing persisted at his law office located in the 200 block of Walnut Street, sometimes lining the sidewalk all the way to Front and beyond. His effectiveness up on Jones Street may have been hampered by investigation that led to the January 2014 N.C. Secretary of State office’s order to Goolsby and his partner in an investment firm he co-owned with James Upham, Empowered Investor Inc., to cease and desist from engaging in any practice involving securities or financial services business in North Carolina. The two men and the company also had their investment adviser registrations revoked by the Secretary of State’s office. They were prohibited from reapplying for a period of 10 years. Those issues aside, I don’t know about you, but it bugs me when people quit a job early, particularly when the quitter was elected to the position. Some might view it as another brilliant GOP move in a succession of these resignations to usher in the next candidate to ensure the likelihood of more votes on election day, but as the opposing party candidate in the Nov. 4 midterm election, Elizabeth Redenbaugh was quick to point out, “It’s clearly a manipulation of the political process.” Redenbaugh was referring to the Republican Party nomination Tuesday night and expected appointment by the Gov. this week to fill the remainder of Goolsby’s term with Wilmington attorney Michael Lee, the Republican candidate for that senate seat in the November election. Lee ran for the District 9 seat in 2010, but Goolsby won the Republican primary. In April, Michael Lee replaced Danny McComas as chair of the N.C. State Ports Authority Board of Directors. McCrory appointed Lee following McComas’ resignation from the board. Lee had been appointed to the ports board by N.C.
Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger in 2011 and appointed vice chair in 2013. In April 2013 he was sworn in after being appointed by McCrory to the State Board of Transportation, Division 3. This powerful board’s members decide the order of road construction and repairs in the state; it could be benificial to have a board member from New Hanover County complete his or her term. With Lee’s latest appointment to fill the remainder of the District 9 Senate seat, state law dictates his resignation from the DOT board. While not required to step down from his position on the ports authority board while serving in the state legislature, Lee said he will step down to avoid any conflicts of interest. The ports authority board is tasked with oversight of the state’s ports in Wilmington and Morehead City, plus inland terminals in Charlotte and Greensboro. The ports’ economic legacy includes a contribution of 65,000 jobs and $500 million per year in state and local tax revenues. Any employer will tell you, turnover is not good for business. There is always a learning curve and adjustments to be made. Turnover of leadership is especially trying on the work force and work product, not to mention policy. Governing boards are no different. The Republican legislative delegation from New Hanover County has made good use of a revolving door policy that pretty much disenfranchises voters who have no voice in the matter. GOP leaders are playing the system for their own advancement, which is injurious to a democratic society, to us as voters. In 2004, then Senator Patrick Ballantine stepped down from the seat and his then law partner Woody White was appointed to replace him. Ballantine resigned to unsuccessfully challenge Gov. Mike Easley in the 2004 election. White went on to lose his bid to hold onto the seat in the general election to attorney Julia Boseman, a Democrat. On the House side, Rep. Danny McComas, a Republican from New Hanover County, resigned his House District 19 seat before the end of his term in September 2012 to take the position of chairman of the N.C. State Ports Authority. He would serve 16 months before resigning April 2, 2014. Gov. Bev Perdue appointed attorney and New Hanover County Commissioner Ted Davis Jr. to fill McComas’ House seat. Davis resigned his New Hanover County Commission chair to take over the House seat. Davis then was elected to the House seat in the 2012 general election. Now Michael Lee, the hand-picked successor to Goolsby is being advanced, for at least the next two months. Imagine if presidents did this? What if president Barrack Obama said tomorrow, “Okay people, I understand that you don’t like me, so I am going to leave office and make Joe Biden your president?”

Most successful yet
Thank goodness! The palm trees marching across the drawbridge have finally gone to Glory. Thirty-one years it took them to expire. For thirtyone years every time I went over the bridge I wished them curtains. Perhaps this time the D.O.T. will consult the talented Harbor Island Garden Club for their sage advice on a fitting landscape not only decorous, but pleasing to the eye of all who enter our precious island. “Then the Sea and Heaven rolled as one, and from the two came fresh transfigurings of freshest blue.” —Wallace Stevens Martha D.

Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue won third place in the small beach category and 10th overall at the 2014 United States Lifesaving Association National Lifeguard Championships in Virginia Beach.
n Ocean rescue Continued from Page A1
The overall top three beaches were Monmouth County, N.J., the Los Angeles County Surf Life Saving Association and Smith Point. Monmouth County, the overall winners and winners of the large beach group, brought 90 lifeguards to nationals. Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue Lieutenant Hunter Hay was one of the leaders for the team and said the team did not know what to expect leading into competition. “Going into the contest we didn’t really have much of an idea because we hadn’t competed on that stage,” Hay said. “We had been to nationals once in 2007
with a few people and scored a couple points but … we didn’t know what we were getting into.” Coming off a repeat overall firstplace finish at the regional event, Hay said the caliber of lifeguards at nationals was inspiring to see. “Regionally you will have a few of the best guys show up; when you go to nationals there are the best guys from every region throughout the country that show up,” he said. “The most rewarding thing was just seeing that our guys were on par with those guys and in almost every event we entered we had somebody in the finals.” Fourman teams from WBOR placed third and fourth in the rescue races, and second and 15th in the landline race. Two of the
team’s female members, Kathryn Yarbrough and Lindsey Lynskey, placed ninth and 10th respectively in the women’s open Ironman event. “We have guards working here that are on par with the highest at the national level, which is pretty lucky for us,” Hay said. “We are a little beach crew comprised of 35 people and we took 14 to nationals and placed third.” Following the expenses the team had to front for regionals, fundraising efforts were renewed to pay for the trip to Virginia Beach that included a barbecue plate sale at Wrightsville Beach Park during the Sounds of Summer concert July 31. “It was a lot of work to put it together but in the end it really
did benefit us and it is something we are hoping to turn into an annual event because it gives us an enjoyable way to interact with the community,” Hay said. “They can hang out and interact with us without us having to focus on the beach and the ocean.” Looking to the years ahead, Hay said the team could take the gold. “If we are able to get things figured out with some of the different equipment, be able to compete in all the races and get a few more guys to go, I don’t think it would be unrealistic for us to be challenging for that top spot on small beach,” he said. “It would be a lot of work but I think we could do it with the athletes we are consistently getting here.”

only individual signed up to speak during the public hearing. Shell called for voters to make informed decisions at the polls in November, suggesting it is the board’s responsibility to provide necessary information about the bond to the public. “I think it’s imperative that the citizens understand the bond issue and what its cost is to the county, what its impacts are to the county. The citizens look to the elected officials for that leadership,” he said. Shell provided a more modest estimate of the bond’s highest impact to the county tax rate than numbers calculated by county staff at 2 cents instead of 4 cents per $100 of property value. The current county tax rate is

Hurricane Hazel, but other than that, very little is known about the contents of the landfill due to dense vegetation. The town recently contracted with Catlin Engineers and Scientists to review the environmental conditions of the property for potential development or sale.
The board will discuss whether to leave the site as it is, clean the site for a future buyer or clean the site and allow it to become passive open space. To better prepare for regional disasters such as hurricanes, the board will consider allowing town manager Tim Owens to write a
letter to the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners requesting the town be included as a part of the county’s multijurisdictional hazard mitigation plan. Currently all other cities and towns are part of the county’s plan except Wrightsville Beach. email emmy@luminanews.com
55.4 cents per $100. During a July 21 meeting, county finance director Lisa Wurtzbacher reported to the board that the average tax impact of the bond over its 20-year life is 3 cents, if approved. She said the tax impact would be higher at the beginning of the debt’s life, requiring a 4 cent increase in the 2015-16 fiscal year. During a May presentation of the 2014-15 budget, county manager Chris Coudriet said the county would see a 5 cent increase in the 2015-16 fiscal year to meet debt obligations from voter-approved bonds in 2006 and 2008. “No one’s going to vote, in my opinion, for a 9 cent tax increase if they think that’s what’s going to happen,” Shell said. Coudriet warned of conflating the two tax increases predicted
for the 2015-16 fiscal year, arguing the 5 cent raise is needed to pay for existing debt obligations whether or not voters approve the school bond in November. “That 5 cents has nothing to do with the future as it relates to a $160 million bond,” Coudriet said. Chairman Woody White agreed with Shell about the need to educate voters and shared a few facts motivating his decision to not support the bond. White said citizens will see property taxes raise under all estimates. He compared the tax burden of county residents in 1994 to 2014, which has increased despite growth in the population and assessed value of the county tax base. Facing mounting county debt, White questioned the sustainability of assuming more debt to fund
growth and improvements. “We cannot dispute the facts that over 20 years, two decades, there’s been a migration in this county, and every other county and every other state across the country, of funding public services through the debt market,” White said. “It’s not a trend we can sustain.” C o mmi s s io n er J o n ath a n Barfield Jr. responded to White, suggesting citizens who support continued growth of the community understand it comes at a cost. “The citizens, they’re demanding certain things in their community. ... They want these things and they understand, I believe, that if you want something, it’s going to come with a price tag,” Barfield said. The board voted 3-1, with White dissenting, to adopt the bond order, directing the clerk
to the board to file a sworn statement of county debt, available for public inspection, and establishing the board’s authority to levy a tax to pay the principal and interest on the bond if approved. County staff estimates the bond will accrue an additional $68 million in interest over its expected life. The $160 million bond will fund security, technology and infrastructure improvements to all schools in addition to a $7 million project to renovate and expand Wrightsville Beach School, construction of a new 595-seat elementary school in the northeastern part of the county, and demolition and reconstruction of College Park and Blair Elementary Schools.

oystercatchers on the south end fledged one chick per pair. Both oystercatcher chicks were banded and the Audubon team hopes to see them return in coming years. Audubon counts the chicks after they fledge, or begin to fly. Addison said some of the chicks and adults continue to use the posting and the area around it. One oystercatcher chick still roosts inside the posting, while crowds of black skimmer adults and chicks roost on the beach outside the posting around high tide. Audubon will remove the postings around the end of August, allowing time for the chicks to use the area to hone flying skills before moving to inlets to fatten up and rest before fall migrations. “They’re getting the hang of it. They’re like awkward teenagers learning how to do things for the first time. This is a difficult time for the chicks,” Addison said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “It’s good for the chicks to have a place to rest and be undisturbed.” Addison said some shorebirds, sand pipers and plovers as well as terns and skimmers, have already started to arrive at Masons, Rich’s and Topsail inlets to feed and rest.
Goolsby in the Republican primary. Goolsby endorsed Lee during the 2014 primary. Lee said he was surprised by the situation but grateful for the opportunity. “I’m really humbled and honored that they would recommend me to the governor to fill Sen. Goolsby’s term,” he said following the nomination. Following the nomination, Ibrahim acknowledged it as a commonly followed process. “We’re not trying to play anything unfair. We’re following the process,” Ibrahim said. Former Rep. Danny McComas left his seat in August 2012 to become chair of the N.C. State Ports Authority Board after nine terms in office, paving the way for Ted Davis Jr., then chairman of the New Hanover County Commissioners, to serve early before he was elected by voters in November. Lee was appointed to replace McComas as chair of the Ports Authority Board in April. While state law does not require Lee to step down from his position on the Ports Authority Board while serving in the state legislature, he said he will step down to avoid any conflicts of interest. State law requires Lee to resign from his post on the N.C. Department of Transportation Board. Lee said his experience on both boards is an asset in Raleigh, especially in discussions of job creation and growth in the state. The General Assembly has not yet adjourned for the year, and Lee said he plans to be in Raleigh

Addressing a separate issue concerning long-term water and sewer needs, the board will look at a study by Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. assessing the soundness of the Wrightsville Beach well system. GMA’s plan to maintain a viable water supply for the future would cost the town $50,000. The board will also discuss the possibility of moving forward with allowing customers to use credit cards for payments to the town. A representative from First Citizens Bank will make a presentation regarding the best possible processing solution to meet the town’s needs.

She said the first piping plovers arrived from summer nesting grounds in the Arctic in July. Addison said female birds are generally the first to arrive. “The males will sort of be stuck with the teenager chicks and the female … spent a lot of energy early on, producing the eggs, so she tends to migrate first,” Addison said. Although some birds are already checking in, the birds will begin to arrive en masse in September, with peak numbers in late October or early November before they all leave for southern winter grounds by Thanksgiving. Addison said Masons Inlet hosted more than 2,000 black skimmers in 2013. The Audubon team will monitor the inlets weekly to count the birds. The birds are fun to watch but Addison warned against disturbing them, even with actions as simple as making them scatter while walking down the beach or disrupting feeding. “It doesn’t look like much is happening but you’re taking up a little of that energy that they need, and if everybody takes a little bit, then they might not have any left over for themselves,” she said. email miriah@luminanews.com
when the Senate reconvenes Aug. 14 regardless of whether McCrory appoints him to support important issues, like film incentives, as he has throughout the short session. “I’m going to continue to be vocal about it. This is going to give me the opportunity to really engage the senators who are not coming on board with what we really need to be doing, not just for the citizens of New Hanover County, but really for the benefit of the state,” Lee said about a last opportunity for an amended version of the current film incentive to survive. The General Assembly will meet again Nov. 17 to discuss Medicaid reform and coal ash management. Elizabeth Redenbaugh, who will challenge Lee for the District 9 seat on the November ballot, called the move a manipulation of the political process during an Aug. 5 phone interview. She said the tactic is not always successful, citing the example of New Hanover County Commission Chairman Woody White. White, tapped to replace former Sen. Patrick Ballantine in 2004, served in Raleigh for six months before Julia Boseman defeated him in the November election. Lee said he plans to continue with his current campaign strategy moving into November. “We’re going to be talking about the same things and the same issues. This won’t impact the election, from that perspective,” Lee said. If approved by McCrory, Lee will serve the remainder of Goolsby’s term through January 2015. email miriah@luminanews.com

Schult stepped down after more than 10 years of service after learning a majority of commissioners questioned her service to the board during a meeting with Coudriet. State law dictates the clerk serves at the pleasure of the board. Coudriet said the clerk will still serve at the pleasure of the board, but his office will now provide additional support. Commissioners tapped deputy clerk Teresa Elmore to serve as interim clerk during an Aug. 7 agenda review.

Guests who walk into Wrightsville United Methodist Church Aug. 15 will forego their Sunday best in favor of their most comfortable dancing shoes for a concert by Artistry in Jazz. The 20-member orchestra will play hits from the 1920s through the 1970s
in a concert to benefit Wrightsville UMC’s outreach program. Mikki Perry, director of congregational care, said the 2014 program will live up to last year’s event, which featured a great female vocalist. “They play big band and swing music,” Perry said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “It was a lot of fun.”

Artistry in Jazz will perform at Wrightsville United Methodist Church Friday, Aug. 15 to benefit the church’s outreach program.
Proceeds from ticket sales will go to a wide range of outreach projects supported by Wrightsville UMC. Hayes Perry, director of United Methodist Men, said fundraising is a vital part of the church’s mission. “I’ve heard somebody say, don’t preach me a sermon, live me a sermon,” Perry said. “To give to other people and to help other people in need is what being a Christian and being a good person is all about.” The 2013 Artistry in Jazz Big Band Concert raised $1,100 for charity and organizers now hope to top that number. In addition to the Artistry in Jazz fundraiser, the church also holds an annual golf tournament and a fish fry to raise money. In the past, much of the proceeds from these events went to the Methodist Home for Children, a Raleigh-based organization that helps find foster homes for children in need. Perry said the funds could also benefit a variety of other projects,
depending on where the need is. In previous years, the church has donated money to Eagle Scout projects, community members at Christmastime and W.A.R.M, a nonprofit organization in Wilmington that repairs the houses of low-income homeowners. Perry said many of the outreach projects focus on helping children
in need. “There was one kid who had behavioral problems, and we went in to the home and the family didn’t have sheets on the bed and the kid only had one outfit to wear, so we gave money for them to buy him clothes,” he offered as one example. The concert will include
homemade desserts during intermission. “I make homemade banana pudding,” Perry said. “It’s the best banana pudding you’ve ever tasted.” Tickets can be purchased for $10 and picked up at the WUMC office. For more information, visit www.wrightsvilleumc.org email emmy@luminanews.com

The Wrightsville Beach School PTA hopes to ease back-to-school blues with two upcoming events before the 2014-15 school year begins Aug. 26. An Aug. 16 kindergarten play date will take place at Wrightsville Beach Park from 9:30-11 a.m. Elizabeth Beacham remembers attending the 2011 play date with her daughter, then an incoming kindergartener. “Both my daughter and I were nervous but excited and immediately felt a warm welcome from the teachers and other parents and PTA members that were there,” Beacham said. Now president of the PTA, Beacham said the group organizes the event to make the transition less scary and uncertain. “It’s to make incoming students and parents feel welcome, to ease the anxiety of incoming kindergarteners so they can meet new friends and have familiar faces on the first day of school,” Beacham said. Parents are able to meet school staff and PTA members and purchase prepackaged school supplies and T-shirts while kids enjoy a snack and play. All students returning to Wrightsville Beach School are invited to an Aug. 21 open house,
where they will meet their teacher for the year. Beacham said the open house provides the same opportunities offered at the play date for students at all grade levels. In response to the long lines that form to purchase school supplies during the open house, the PTA launched an online store this summer so parents can buy supplies ahead of time. The online store is located at http://wbspta.corecommerce.com The prepackaged supplies are a big hit, Beacham said. The PTA works with teachers to offer all materials required for each grade at lower prices. Beacham said she hopes to engage parent involvement with the PTA during both events. “Many hands make light work and together, the more parents that
are willing to get involved and help out, the more things we can do for the school and the more support we can give to our teachers,” Beacham said. Parents can volunteer time to the PTA or donate to One Big Splash, the main source of revenue for PTA-sponsored activities. One Big Splash was created as an alternative to fundraising campaigns that make kids travel door-to-door selling candy bars or wrapping paper. Instead parents can pay a $75 onetime donation per student to fund the programs offered throughout the year. The next event on the PTA calendar is a Sept. 26 back-toschool carnival in celebration of Wrightsville Beach School’s 60th anniversary. email miriah@luminanews.com

Lifestyles Bringing the Beach Together
Changing traditions
a relocated, renewed reunion
By Henry Liverman, Intern
O
n the wraparound porch of the Gregory Cottage, an extension of the historic Carolina Yacht Club overlooking Banks Channel, three generations of the Bradley family gathered. They came from across the country in late July to spend a week together on the waters they grew up on and at the club founded by their patriarch, Richard Bradley, and his friends. This was the second official Bradley reunion held at the Gregory Cottage, but the family’s reunion tradition extends back 150 years, said Anne Russell, local historian, playwright and the great-great-great niece of Richard Bradley. The history of the Bradley family is entwined with the history of Wrightsville Beach. As Russell tells the story, in the mid-1800s, avid sailor Richard Bradley decided to build on the island that would come to be named Wrightsville. At the time colloquially called the Banks, the area was Bradley’s favorite place for sailboat racing. He and his friends built a structure as an escape from storms and a hub for the Bradley family to congregate. Today, this place is known as the Carolina Yacht Club. When Russell, now considered the family matriarch, and her cousins were growing up, they attended reunions every summer. During Beach Week, the gatherings were a time for family to come together. Throughout the ’40s and ’50s, once each summer the whole family would congregate and migrate from a great-aunt’s house on Masonboro Sound to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, but would always end up at the yacht club. “We went all over the place; it was very free-form. We would generally go where the food was,” Russell laughed. For the Bradley family, Beach Week was about enjoying all of the cousins together, continuing family traditions and strengthening bonds. But as the years passed, the family grew and spread, making it challenging to maintain the annual extended Staff photo by Allison Potter family reunion. Cousins Anne Russell, seated from left to right, Bradley “We moved around a lot when I was growing up,” Wootten, Diane Royder Halpin and Bob Bunge gather said Bradley Wootten, Russell’s first cousin. “But with their spouses and children for the Bradley family reunion at the Gregory cottage the last week of July. our family always came back to the yacht club. We all grew up around it.” But for Jennifer Twiggs, Russell’s daughter, the Bradley family was never together in the way their parents had been. Watching her family sailing and enjoying the “There became a gap where we all vacationed at yacht club together again carries on the memory the yacht club over the summer, but we weren’t all and spirit of Richard Bradley for Russell and the there together,” Twiggs said. family.

Hoagland said her son might not have found the courage to catch his first wave during the 2013 event had it not been for the bond he formed with Kanuha. “He went out a couple times with someone else and he fell off his board, he just wasn’t having it,” she said. “CJ saw him and sat with him for a good long time and said, ‘I promise, just go the one time and you can come back in.’ CJ took him out there and he didn’t come back in for three hours.” Hans Hagen said one of the greatest parts of Surf Experience

[She’s] doing phenomenally, happy and healthy, and I credit surfing.” During the Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day, Labiak caught a wave to shore, carving smoothly down the steep, choppy face. “Oh yeah, I would totally go
surfing every single day, no matter what the conditions,” she said while taking a break on the beach between waves. “I love just the stoke that you get from everything that happens [in the water], just being out there feels amazing.” “You learning anything today?” Grayden-Labiak called out as Bree turned to run back into the ocean. At that moment, Sunny Garcia’s son, Stone Garcia, Mauli Ola volunteer and Hawaiian surfer, walked up. “She knows it all already,” Garcia said. email emmy@luminanews.com

Ben Bourgeois surfs over to give a high five to 7-year-old Reilly Hoagland and CJ Kanuha during the second annual Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day Sunday, Aug. 10 at Wrightsville Beach.
By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
Seven-year-old Reilly Hoagland stepped confidently into the ocean, wading through the swirling currents and breaking waves. He reached up to grab the hand of Hawaiian surfer CJ Kahuna, who was pushing Hoagland’s surfboard through the water. The second annual Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day, Aug. 10 at Wrightsville Beach, offered children like Hoagland, who has cystic fibrosis, the opportunity to ride waves with surf instructors and professional surfers from the Mauli Ola Foundation. The Mauli Ola Foundation
originated as a group of surfers that wanted to introduce surfing as a natural cure for cystic fibrosis. Doctors found cystic fibrosis patients who surfed were healthier than those who did not because the salty spray from the ocean helped clear mucus from the lungs. The foundation created Surf Experience Day, an event that allows cystic fibrosis patients to surf for three hours alongside professionals like Kanuha, Kala Alexander and Hawaiian champion Sunny Garcia. Volunteers with the Mauli Ola Foundation travel around the United States, bringing Surf Experience Day to coastal communities. “Since 2009 we’ve done a national tour,” said Hans Hagen,
Mauli Ola Foundation executive director. “Every summer we do a tour up and down the East Coast and spread aloha.” Reilly Hoagland’s mother Laurie Hoagland said surfing helps the children both physically and mentally. “It’s fun for them because they get a break from their treatments being in the ocean all day,” she said. “Reilly came down here last year and had a little bit of a cold, and after being in the ocean, it cleared up within a day or two instead of having to go on antibiotics.” Many children learn to surf during a Surf Experience Day and then come back year after year for the opportunity to surf with the professionals who introduced

A new book authored by Thalian Hall executive director Tony Rivenbark uses 126 pages of photographs to illustrate the role of the historic stage in Wilmington’s political and cultural development. “This theater, in this community, has an iconic stage. This book helps to celebrate the building and all the people throughout its history that have helped make it what it is,” Rivenbark said. The story shared in the book shows the influence of Thalian Hall extends beyond the stage and productions it hosted. The building itself staged pivotal events in the city’s history. “Not only is there a stage inside, but the outside of the building is a stage to some degree. You’ve had many, many activities on the steps and on the grounds of this building over its history,” Rivenbark said. The project began 35 years ago, when Rivenbark joined the staff of Thalian Hall and began collecting and curating an archive of the building’s history. He said the organization wanted to share the photographs in a book and the slim, image-driven format of Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series provided the ideal medium. “The main goal was just to give the ordinary person in Wilmington an accessible and inexpensive overview of Thalian Hall and what the building and its activities mean to this community,” Rivenbark said. “We came upon this idea of going through Arcadia to do something that was very readable, mostly photographs.” Rivenbark supplemented photographs from the Thalian Hall archive with images, many

previously unpublished, from Cape Fear Museum, Lower Cape Fear Historical Society and the New Hanover County Library to create a uniquely comprehensive account. “This book is like a candy box that’s filled with images and little snippets of information that you won’t be able to find in one location,” Rivenbark said. He hopes people pick up the book and learn something new about the local landmark. While researching the story behind each photograph, Rivenbark often learned a thing or two — as he did while discovering the context of a photograph of a group of young people in period Swedish costumes donated by The Ministering Circle. Names were scrawled on the back of the photo without any indication of why its subjects wore the costumes. Rivenbark began searching for an answer to the question posed by the picture, ultimately confirming the picture’s origin is an 1896 event similar to a World Fair with performances and informational booths showcasing international customs and cultures. “This picture has been sitting in a room for 100 years and nobody knew exactly what it was. Now we know what the picture is, and that’s interesting,” Rivenbark said. The book, released Aug. 11, is available for purchase locally at Thalian Hall as well as online at www.arcadiapublishing.com or by calling 888313-2665. The cost is $21.99. Rivenbark will sign copies of his book Aug. 17 at 3 p.m. in the Thalian Hall Ballroom and on Sept. 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the David Paynter Room of the Northeast b ranch of the New Hanover County Library. He will speak briefly about the book during both events. email miriah@luminanews.com

Cucalorus film festival artist-in-residence Shona Thomson speaks with local author Beverly Tetterton and others at the New Hanover County Public Library Monday, Aug. 11, about Wilmington’s film culture as part of her documentary on the subject that will air during the 20th Cucalorus festival in November.
Film heritage from an outsider’s perspective By Thomas van Arsdale Intern
The Cucalorus Film Festival will celebrate its 20th birthday in November 2014. To celebrate the festival’s longevity in the community, Scottish film curator Shona Thomson will create an event for this year’s festival that examines the impact of Cucalorus on the people and culture of Wilmington. Thomson spent two weeks immersing herself in every aspect of the city’s film culture as a Cucalorus artist in residence by meeting with the Wilmington Film Commission, the University of North Carolina Wilmington film department, the Wilmington Dance Cooperative and leaders of venues that will host films during the festival. She also delved into the film archives in the North Carolina room of the New Hanover Public Library. Aug. 11, she gathered Wilmington movie-goers and veteran attendees of Cucalorus at the downtown New Hanover County Public Library for an open forum discussion, “Going to the Movies: From Scotland to Wilmington.” “I’m not a filmmaker, I’m a film curator,” Thomson said during an Aug. 11 interview. “I want to learn about the cinema experiences of the people in Wilmington and piece together a live event at the Cucalorus festival that looks at what impact it has had on the community in a creative way, using archive film, songs, photographs and dance for the 20th anniversary. That’s a long time for a film festival to be running and maintain its identity.” Participants at “Going to the
Movies” remembered the five drive-in theaters that operated in Wilmington simultaneously in the early 1960s, the old Cinema 6 theater on Oleander Drive and the Bailey Theater on Front Street. Wilmington preservationist Beverly Tetterton wrote about the Bailey Theater in her book “Wilmington: Lost But Not Forgotten,” which was passed around during the discussion for participants to read. “You can still see the Bailey’s front façade, but now there’s a parking lot where the theater used to stand,” Tetterton told Thomson during the discussion. Cucalorus uses the façade as a canvas to project its logo during the festival. “This is what I’m interested in,” Thomson said. “When I juxtapose a 1920s film to a 1950s film of the same country, you can see a difference in the style of filmmaking and in how the people and places have changed on the screen. Then people can slot themselves in at the current time of 2014 and see how life has developed. It is a great way to chat about cinema and connect with the past, which really informs the now.” “Going to the Movies: From Scotland to Wilmington” wraps up Thomson’s research of the city. When she returns to Scotland, she will begin assembling her material into a live exhibit that will run at the 2014 Cucalorus Film Festival. “Now it’s figuring out how these wee bits are going to fit together, which is such a big part of the residency,” Thomson said. “Somebody likened it to a quilt with everything intertwining.” Thomson learned of Cucalorus
in Scotland when she met festival director Dan Brawley 12 years ago during the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Since then she has become friends with current Cucalorus board member Hope Dixon Leech, based in Glasgow, and Ruth Paxton, a Scottish filmmaker and visual artist who will be a fall 2014 Cucalorus artist-in-residence. “I don’t think Shona has stopped working since she’s gotten here,” James Martin, Cucalorus operations manager, said during an Aug. 11 phone interview. “We have had a lot of short-term residencies, but Shona has definitely been one of the most proactive with her time in engaging the local community.” Cucalorus residents are given free housing in one of the festival’s three residency buildings, administrative support from Cucalorus staff and access to the micro-cinema at Jengo’s Playhouse for events. “It really helps artists to come and work on projects that are based around or influenced by the city of Wilmington,” Martin said. “And Shona’s will definitely be special.” Thomson says she wants to ask the question: Where did all the cinemas go? “I want to start this conversation within the community through my event,” she said. “Having a conversation with people who are passionate is good for their wellbeing and the wellbeing of Wilmington.” Cucalorus will be held Nov. 12-16 in various venues throughout downtown Wilmington.

Local musician obtains global fan base By Pam Creech Contributing Writer
During the summer of 2013, country singer Chris Bellamy released his ninth album, entitled “Bubbafied.” One year later, “Bubbafied” has worked its way up to 18th place on the country music chart on AirPlay Direct, an online platform for sharing and downloading music. Bellamy hoped the album’s songs, which combine bluegrass-style picking with storytelling lyrics, would be successful throughout the southeastern United States. After its release on AirPlay Direct, it exceeded his expectations, obtaining a global fan base. “‘Bubbafied’ has been downloaded in Australia, Sweden, the U.K., Spain, Canada and all throughout the United States,” Bellamy said during an Aug. 9 phone interview. “‘Bubbafied’ took off like a rocket.” The album’s most downloaded song, “River Ranch,” was inspired by one of Bellamy’s favorite vacation destinations: a campsite located in River Ranch, Fla. “There’s thousands of acres of land for hunting,” Bellamy said. The lyrics describe River Ranch as, “away from the hustle and bustle of a citified kind of place.”

Chris Bellamy’s latest album, “Bubbafied,” has received international attention since being released on AirPlay Direct.
“It’s one of my favorite songs that I’ve written,” Bellamy said. “It’s got a Hank Williams, David Allen Coe kind of feel to it. It’s very country.” Many radio stations have placed the song in the sub-genre of “Outlaw Country.” Due to “Bubbafied’s” recent success, Bellamy’s previous albums have received attention, as well. “Time, Tide and Tackle,” which was released in 2008, has climbed to third place on Airplay’s country music chart during summer 2014. “Oyster Man,” which was released a
few months before “Time, Tide and Tackle,” has also gained popularity. “‘Oyster Man’ has become a crossover CD, and has been listened to on country and bluegrass stations,” Bellamy said. “‘Bubbafied’ has brought attention to my whole catalogue.” Despite the widespread popularity of his work, Bellamy doesn’t want to become a rock star. “I’m 58 years old and I’m not looking for a big record label,” he said. “I just want to make good music and stay busy.” Bellamy plans to release another album within the next 18 months. Gary Bradshaw, Bellamy’s media manager, believes that Bellamy’s live shows have attributed to his success. “He puts on a good show,” Bradshaw said. “He gives people what they’re looking for. He entertains them.” Bradshaw said Bellamy’s solid work ethic has helped him with his career. “If he’s got a four-hour gig, he’ll play four hours straight through,” Bradshaw said. Bellamy will team up with jazz guitarist Bob Russell for a show at Ogden Tap Room Aug. 23. For more information about Chris Bellamy and his music, visit www.chrisbellamy.com

Sports/Marine Hook, Line & Sinker Weather continues to plague anglers, weekend looking up
Wrightsville Beach welcomes wahines
By Skylar Walters
Our area has been inundated with plenty of rain, wind and thunderstorms through July and August, which have inhibited anglers just about every day of the week. Ocean conditions have not been pleasant, then add to that the severe lightning-infused thunderstorms, and it just doesn’t make the prospect of heading offshore much fun. Inshore, muddy waters and extremely warm water temperatures, still reading in the mid 80s, have not helped matters much, either. The good news, however, is the front that’s been bringing us all this wonderful weather is finally on the move, meaning clearing skies. Just as important, the extended forecast is calling for subsiding winds as well. Now if we can just get this dirty water flushed out of here, anglers will soon be back in business. Shark fishing has been on the upswing in recent years, and during Shark Week®, the waters around Wrightsville Beach have more than their fair share for your fishing pleasure, from the smaller sand sharks and blacktips to the larger bull sharks and hammerheads, and many other species in between. Tiger sharks are also a possibility, but are normally found in deeper water than right along the beach. Shark fishing along the beach strand or off the local piers is illegal within the town limits, but fishing from boats or even from the surf on Masonboro Island is not, and anglers have managed to catch some very large trophies from both. Some areas for locating good numbers of sharks are around the mouths of the inlets, particularly during a falling tide when the inshore
waters are being flushed out, which in turn increases baitfish populations in or near the inlets. Another good location to target is around the shrimp boats while the catch is being culled. The numerous by-catch being thrown overboard normally attracts many predators. Those seeking fishing charters just want to catch a big fish that pulls hard. Hooking sharks is one of the easier tasks for local guides. Getting them to the boat and releasing them without harm is another matter, and takes skill, knowledge and tackle large enough to handle the task. Having appropriate tackle in good working order is a must if one wants to wrangle. When fishing for catch and release, it’s important to have a rod and reel stout enough to make the fight a short one, so the shark doesn’t exert too much energy and may recuperate upon release. Heavy line and a quick fight will help ensure the shark is released with minimal harm. Most of the shark fishing is catch and release, although some anglers do target sharks for their table fare as well. If your intent is to catch a shark and bring it back for dinner, you are well within your rights as long as you adhere to the regulations in place. A lot of sharks are off limits to possession and many others have specific size limits. Make sure to visit the NCDMF website to obtain a current regulation chart and make sure you can identify what you catch. Above all, make sure you actually know what the shark tastes like before you take it in for the dinner table. You might just be better off releasing that shark and having the tale to tell over dinner at a local seafood restaurant.

Hannah Milligan and Nina Long share a high five after their longboard heat at the East Coast Wahine Championships Aug. 18, 2013, at Wrightsville Beach.
By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
At many beaches, male surfers outnumber female surfers. That will not be the case, however, Aug. 16 and 17 at the south end of Wrightsville Beach. For the 18th year, Wrightsville Beach will host the female surfing community for the East Coast Wahine Classic presented by Crystal South Surf Camp and Indo Jax Surf School. The contest welcomes surfer girls age five to 65 and includes divisions for all ability levels, from sponsored professionals to novices entering their first contest. Competitors have the option to enter the longboard, shortboard or SUP surf category. Although many of the competitors are from the Wrightsville Beach area, contest organizer Jo Pickett said she expects several
talented professional surfers from out of town to enter this year’s event. “We have a standout longboarder coming from Virginia Beach,” Pickett said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “Her name is Morgan Knight and she won it last year. Another pro longboarder, Leldon McClary, is coming from South Carolina.” Pickett said she has been coaching several of the local girls this summer, working with them on their skills and technique, and she feels they have a good chance to do well against the professionals. “I’m going to encourage some of the girls who compete in ESA contests around here to enter the pro division,” Pickett said. “I work with quite a few of them each morning, and we’re out there surfing all the conditions that the ocean is serving up.” One of the Eastern Surf
Association contenders is Savannah Meeks. Meeks won the 15-and-under novice division in 2013 and this year she is entering the girls’ shortboard amateur division. She said in addition to eating healthy and practicing every day, her preparation has included refining her competitive surfing to meet the judges’ criteria. “Now that [the judges] know I can get up on the board, they want to see me do different stuff rather than just trying to catch a wave,” Meeks said. “You can only catch a certain amount of waves and the two best waves count so you have to be careful about that.” Wrightsville Beach local Kirby Smith is also graduating from the novice division to the amateur division this year. Smith said the supportive atmosphere of the East Coast Wahine Classic fueled her interest in competitive surfing. “It gave me the opportunity to
have fun and do my best,” she said. “I was nervous before my heat but the girls were really nice and asking me if I was new, and now we’re all friends. It’s a good community.” Pickett said 30 local businesses have sponsored the 2014 event, making it possible to hold several raffles and giveaways on the beach throughout the weekend. Activities like these make the contest fun for both the competitors and the many spectators that stop by to be a part of the atmosphere. “A lot of girls that don’t want to compete still come just to be a part of the event, to be on the beach with hundreds of other female surfers,” Pickett said. “The sport has been male-dominated since its inception and the girls now realize that this is our time.” For more information visit www.crystalsouthsurfcamp.com/ wb-wahine-classic/ email emmy@luminanews.com
Living for that one perfect day By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
If someone swims in the ocean once or 100 times, the experience always has an effect. For
the 250 kids living with autism participating in the eighth annual Surfers Healing camp Monday, Aug. 18, the experience could change their lives. John Pike has helped organize

the camp since it began in 2008 and, as the father of an autistic child, knows firsthand about that first time effect. “We live for this one perfect day … we always work hard and prepare for this to make that one perfect day happen for those families and the kids,” Pike said. That perfect day for each of the 250 children involves a day at the beach and one-on-one surf sessions with Hawaiian watermen and pro surfers like Surfers Healing founder Izzy Paskowitz. Every year registration fills up within minutes, Pike said, and this year was no different. Families participating in past events came from as far away as Alaska for Wrightsville’s therapeutic waves. Some families make a vacation of the trip, which is sometimes challenging for those traveling with an autistic child, Pike said. “When you have kids with autism it is kind of difficult, so that is what we are here for: to make that day have no stares, no problems and everybody is in the same boat,” he said. Seeing the look on their faces after each child’s surf session and the emotional reaction on the
beach from the families is what keeps the Surfers Healing camps going, Pike added. “It is really emotional for everybody so to put it into words is so tough, but you can visibly see something just happens,” Pike said. “Everybody I know that surfs or plays in the ocean knows it makes them feel good but our kids deal with major sensory issues so imagine what good they get out of being in the ocean and riding a wave with a professional surfer.” The Surfers Healing surf camp will last all day from morning until late afternoon Aug. 18, on the beach strand around Columbia Street. There will also be a meet and greet for the families Sunday, Aug. 17, in Wrightsville Beach Park. After the surf camp, Surfers Healing founder Izzy Paskowitz will host a book signing for his personal memoir, “Scratching the Horizon,” at Blockade Runner Beach Resort from 4-6 p.m. Aug. 18.

hat if the days of the historic Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach trolley line were not the past but the future? What if a passenger could board a light rail car at the foot of Market Street and be whisked to the beach in a fraction of the time it takes for a vehicle to travel? Is this system of transportation a real possibility for Wilmington in the near future? Probably not, but when looking at a rendering of a modern rail car stopping by the historic trolley station near the intersection of Park Avenue and Audubon Boulevard, one cannot help but wonder. The rendering was part of the City of Wilmington’s future visions campaign during which six different alternative future visions for the city were created out of input from numerous public neighborhood meetings. The restored trolley was included in the future vision that focused on transportation-based development by creating better interconnectivity between different land uses like commercial, residential and parks. While the idea of recreating the old trolley line is a good conversation piece, Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization associate transportation planner Suraiya Rashid said it is something Wilmington is not ready for. “I think it is something that people throw out a lot. … We own most of the right of way along
Park Avenue, but a lot of that has been used for drainage and we actually have one of our main bike paths through town there,” Rashid said. “It would be very, very expensive and we would really have to show the densities to support it.” The nearest city with a light rail system within its metropolitan center is Charlotte, a city with a population more than seven times Wilmington’s. However, like the River to Sea Bike Trail that now connects downtown to the beach along the historic trolley line, Rashid said one of the key factors in increasing connectivity in the region moving forward will be bike and pedestrian pathways that also support the public WAVE Transit bus system. “From my perspective, one of the most important things we need to do to get to that transportationoriented development is to have the pedestrian network at a state to entice people to be comfortable just riding the bus,” she said. “WAVE Transit is doing an excellent job with their mission and ridership is growing every year. ... The best thing we can do to support them is improve the pedestrian network.” While she agreed establishing a light rail system within the city would be a long way off, City of Wilmington senior planner Christine Hughes believed the region has other ways to improve interconnectivity where citizens live, work and play.

Homework
“I think we have a real opportunity with some of our corridors to improve the connection between transportation and land use like on College Road and Market Street,” Hughes said. “Just as an example, if we had a rapid bus on Market Street and created population centers along Market Street where the bus could stop three or four times instead of 10 to 12 times, I think that is a great opportunity and I think something like that is totally feasible.” Like many other cities, Hughes said the expansion of Wilmington post World War II was solely focused on automobile transportation and the suburban lifestyle. Now, with more Millennials and Baby Boomers calling for better interconnectivity and easily accessible amenities, Hughes said the city could be witnessing the start of another lifestyle shift. “That preference for a suburban lifestyle took a long time to come to fruition so the shift away from that is going to take a long time also, and we are just seeing the beginning of it,” she said. Regardless of when it happens, Hughes said tying transportation and land use policies together can have numerous benefits like better public health, freedom of mobility and more attractive population centers with higher property values. “In other communities where this shift has been more forward and more progressive, you see property values rise around transit stops, which can be a little of a double-edged sword because you don’t want to gentrify areas and push out folks that need more affordable housing options,” Hughes said. “In other areas where this is already happening, the real estate and development communities understand the values of these things.” For city and regional planners measuring the public’s support of more interconnectivity via public transportation, and bike and pedestrian pathways while tying it to the region’s densification is going to be a primary issue moving into the future, Hughes said. “If we made appropriate increases to density, we could be less reliant on single occupancy vehicles, which would help our community immensely with traffic congestion, air quality and even with aesthetics in our built environment,” she said. “Wilmington is built out so right now everything is in someone’s backyard and we are going to have to manage that change.” email cole@ luminanews.com

Business News Dermatology developments in Mayfaire Money Matters By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
Two Wilmington dermatology centers located within the Mayfaire community are expanding and adding services to fine-tune their business models. Dermatology Associates in Mayfaire Community Center has added the aesthetician services of Nicole Bunch with two new aesthetic dermatology suites within the center’s third-floor offices along Parker Farm Road. With six physicians in the practice, Bunch said the move to include aesthetic dermatology procedures like chemical peels, facials and microdermabrasion was a natural progression for Dermatology Associates. “They wanted to have a onestop shop for the aesthetic procedures,” Bunch said. “It is a newer trend in recent years and it is now catching on. Patients coming in to do their skin cancer checks might also want some Botox or a facial to enhance everything and the need was there.” When Dermatology Associates acquired the offices it included space for the potential expansion, and Bunch said the center would now be able to handle any kind of medical or aesthetic dermatology procedure.

chemical peels and microdermabrasion, Bunch said more patients in the Baby Boomer age range have begun to seek those types of treatments because of a lack of awareness about sunscreen when they were younger. Bunch said the goal of the grand opening ceremony for the new aesthetics department Wednesday, Aug. 13, was to invite the public to the new space and reinforce the benefits of

A 4,000-square-foot expansion is also coming to Wilmington Dermatology Center, located just north of Mayfaire at Howe Creek Landing. Slated to finish in September, Wilmington Dermatology Center business director Ed George said the addition would provide more space needed to accommodate a new physicians assistant, more space for future clinical trial storage and improvements to clinical amenities. Wilmington Dermatology Center’s aesthetic dermatology patients will see newly configured space just for that department. “We are changing some things up a little bit to give some of those patients a little bit more of a spa treatment where they can go in through a different entrance,” George said. “There are some dermatology centers that are very cosmetic focused and there are some that just do medical dermatology and we have evolved to do both and the struggle has been how to cater to both those groups in the same space.” With the additional space, George said there would be more room for all of the different facets of the center’s services. Wilmington Dermatology Center will continue operations as normal during the remodeling process. email cole@luminanews.com

What if you ran out of money at the age of 75? What good is an increase in life expectancy if the quality of that life suffers? We’re easily blinded by an instantgratification society where advertisers paint tantalizing pictures of a leisurely retirement including days on the golf course and vacations in exotic locations. But, this could be decades away for many people. The bad news is that Dave Dupont you have to wait for it. The good news is that you still have the advantage of time to help make those retirement dreams a reality. IRAs — An Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, comes with tax advantages to mitigate the financial impact either upfront or in the future at the time of withdrawal. For 2014, a maximum contribution of $5,500 is allowed, $6,500 if you’re age 50 or older. Company 401(k) and matching — Nearly half of all employees in the private sector have access to a retirement benefit plan, most likely a 401(k). These programs allow flexibility in how you save and how you pay taxes, either on a deferred or prepaid basis. Additionally, many companies offer a matching component — meaning for every dollar you invest they will match all or a portion of that dollar. But, in order to get the match you need to save the required minimum. Failing to do that, you miss out on what could be a lucrative employee benefit. Roth 401(k) — This new investment vehicle offered by some employers, similar to its Roth IRA kin, places money into an account with after-tax dollars allowing an individual to take it out tax-free after the age of 59 and one-half. However, unlike its Roth IRA counterpart, it is not subject to the $5,500 IRS yearly contribution limit. Employee pension plan — Whether your company contributes to your plan or not, chances are you have the option to contribute to a fund that pays you back at retirement. Your savings and investment strategies have both a direct and indirect effect on your retirement plan. Make the most of tax advantages and savings vehicles available for other major life expenses, such as college savings programs, life insurance, long-term care and disability insurance. Consult a financial professional who can help you make decisions about your investments. The steps you take today will effect how comfortable you are in your golden years.

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 Prison Miracle Week five, in a multi-part series
onders
As I yielded myself more and more to the power of the Holy Spirit, opportunity began to present itself for ministry. Having been a professional musician, I was delighted to join some other ex musicians who now wanted to use their talents for the Lord. I had only known the two guys that made up our praise band for a few short months when an opening came for us to minister in a minimum security men’s prison, just south of Atlanta. That evening, most of the prisoners that came out for the service were blessed by our music and short testimonies. As we finished the last song, the leader of our group gave an altar call, hoping that someone would want to give his or her life to Christ. Following a long pause with no response, I nervously asked if there were any sick among them who would want to come forward for healing prayer. I had never prayed for the sick and had no clue why I even asked the question. In my mind, I believe I was hoping for a runny nose or small headache that would line up with my puny faith. But up came a tall white guy with a distinctive limp, obviously from a severe leg injury. The leg was bowed significantly outward and pointing at a right angle away from the other foot. The leg was so short, and the foot so crooked that his whole body rocked from side to side as he walked to the front. Once he approached the front, my
Buddy Dawson
fellow band members quickly bowed their heads, offering no support. Despite the lack of encouragement from anyone else, something was happening on the inside of me. “The gift of faith” (I Corinthians 12: 9), which I knew nothing about at the time, rose up on the inside of me, causing me to have no doubt that this man would be healed. Getting down on my knees, I laid my hands on his crooked leg and commanded it to be normal. Then I began to press the two legs together as if I could fix it myself — to my surprise the bowed leg moved inward toward the other. When I opened my eyes, both legs were perfectly straight. I had no time to respond before the inmate took off running around the dining hall. As he ran around the building shouting for joy, most of the other men began to celebrate with him. Noticing that his foot was still turned outward, I stopped him after two laps. I knew, just as sure as his leg had been healed, his foot would also be straightened. Without even bending down, I took my foot and pushed his foot into a normal forward position. As I pushed against his foot, I thanked the Lord in Jesus’ name for completing this miracle. He and I both watched in amazement as his foot not only straightened, but stayed in perfect alignment with the other. I fell to my knees thanking God, as the healed man stood and wept. After things finally began to settle down, we asked again if anyone wanted to know the Lord personally as their Savoir. This time, a large number of men raised their hands and came forward for salvation.

GIVE THANKS DAILY Luke 17:18 “There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.” Relatively few people who receive the goodness of the Lord return to give Him thanks for what He has done. That does not keep the Lord from doing what is right for us. He healed all ten of these lepers according to their request - not just the one who was thankful. However, there was only one out of the ten that was made “whole.” The Lord desires that we prosper in spirit, soul, and body. He wants us to be whole - not just healed. Part of the reason God meets our physical needs is to prove to us His willingness and ability to meet our emotional and spiritual needs. The Lord is concerned about our temporal needs (Mt. 6:30), but He is even more concerned about our eternal needs. All of these lepers needed physical healing and the Lord was moved with compassion and met their need.
He was also desiring to meet their spiritual needs, but only one out of the ten came back for that. Being unthankful is always a sign that self is exalting itself above God. A selfless person can be content with very little. A self-centered person cannot be satisfied. Thankfulness is a sign of humility and cultivating a life of thankfulness will help keep “self” in its proper place. Thankfulness to the Lord for what He is and what He has done is a very important part of the Christian life. One of the many benefits of thanksgiving and praise is that they keep us from being “self” oriented. Giving thanks is a totally unselfish action and is a key to relationship with the Father that makes us “whole” and not just “healed.”

centered on the painted gray floorboards of the Wrightsville Beach Museum of History’s porch, a vintage dining table languishes in the late afternoon breeze, begging for diners. 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.
recipe
Fried Green Tomatoes with Pimento Cheese Lori Rosbrugh
3 green tomatoes, cut into 1∕3-inch slices salt ½ cup all-purpose flour 1 egg, beaten with small amount of water added to make a wash
½ cup House-Autry seafood breader, any flavor Vegetable oil for frying Pimento cheese, any flavor
Cook’s note: Parmesan cheese can be substituted for pimento cheese. Cheese with jalapeño peppers was used in the recipe pictured. Preparation: Wash and slice tomatoes into rounds. Sprinkle slices with salt and let rest while assembling the coating ingredients. Coat slices in flour. Dip slices in egg wash. Dredge slices in seafood breader. Pan fry in hot oil until golden on both sides. Transfer to racks set inside baking pans. Top each slice with pimento cheese. Place under broiler until cheese melts.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
