Beach Blast unfolds under sunny skies
Parking, safety issues key to BOA’s permit denial By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
Wrightsville Beach aldermen unanimously denied a special use permit application from M&M Development for a parking exemption for 100 W. Salisbury St. The property, zoned C3 mixed use, was previously a convenience store but has been vacant for several years. The vote was taken during the board of aldermen’s monthly meeting Thursday, Aug. 14. Cindee Wolf of Design Solutions revealed site plans for the project, which showed a three-story building with parking on the ground level, commercial units on the second floor and residential units on the third floor. The project would require 27 parking spaces, but only 17 legal spaces would fit within the proposed parking lot. The board had the option to grant a parking exemption for 10 additional spaces if public parking could be found within 400 feet of the main entrance to the building. Wolf said the board should grant the exemption because businesses that would likely occupy the building would not require much parking and many of the customers would be people walking or biking the John Nesbitt Loop. “The vacant site has become an eyesore and it serves no purpose to the town or its residents,” Wolf said. “It’s hard to say what [businesses] will occupy there, but I don’t see high-volume retail occupying these buildings.” The proposed commercial/retail spaces were n See denial Page A5

Leaders want fair access to inlet dredging funds By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
A years-long push to curb the use of plastic bags in New Hanover County marked a milestone Aug. 12 when the Carolina Beach Town Council unanimously agreed to form a committee to investigate the local impact of plastics bags. The Cape Fear chapter of the Surfrider Foundation secured resolutions of support for its campaign to reduce singleuse plastics from Wrightsville, Carolina and Kure beaches in 2011. Ethan Crouch, chair of the Cape Fear chapter of the Surfrider Foundation, commended Carolina Beach for moving beyond a theoretical pledge of support to investigate options to enact change. “It’s important that each community takes time and digs into all those options and takes input from all the stakeholders, and then crafts what’s the best thing for their individual community. That’s what Carolina Beach wants to do ... and I think that’s a huge win for the town,” Crouch said during an Aug. 14 phone interview. The decision in Carolina Beach followed a presentation by
Clear skies and plenty of sunshine the afternoon of Aug. 19 set the stage for the 2014 University of North Carolina Wilmington Beach Blast. Early forecasts predicted a smattering of afternoon thunderstorms, posing a threat to the longstanding end-of-summer celebration for students. With weather permitting, Jon Kapell, director for campus activities and involvement with UNCW, estimated that 4,400 students came out to swim and soak up the sun for one last hurrah before classes started Aug. 20. “It’s just a wonderful tradition for students to engage in every year. They look forward to it. The weather has held out for us this year, which has been a wonderful thing,” Kapell said. Inclement weather cancelled the Beach Blast in 2006 and 2012. Cloud-free skies posed a need for new precautions, though. With temperatures hovering near 90 degrees, Kapell said staff focused on keeping students safe from the heat. “We have to remind students to hydrate,” Kapell said. Approximately 1,600 students arrived at the beach via a shuttle service, provided to alleviate congestion on island streets. Staff members checked students at the shuttle pick-up for alcohol, and again at

Before local communities can tap funds recently designated to offset the cost of inlet dredging, authorities must agree how the money can be used. The law, fresh from the 2014 short session, allocates previously untapped room occupancy tax (ROT) collected in unincorporated areas of the county for both tourism promotion and tourism-related activities. The New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority, tasked with oversight of the money, will consider a memorandum of understanding Aug. 27. If approved, the memorandum creates a legal agreement that funds dedicated to tourism-related activities will be used for inlet maintenance. Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair said the guidelines need to be tweaked to ensure all inlets in New Hanover County have equal access to the funds. “Since these are all county funds, it was my thought that in the language n See dredging Page A5
Residents call for leaner Market Street By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
Neighborhood groups and preservation organizations with interests in the Market Street corridor between Covil Avenue and 16th Street are again calling for a road diet that would two lane that span of Market Street. The Market Street road diet was part of the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization’s U.S. 17 Business Corridor Study, finalized in 2007. Within that study a road diet lessening that stretch of Market Street to two lanes was recommended with the provision that it should only come after the Independence Boulevard extension project was finalized. At that time, right of way acquisition funding for the $152 million extension project was approved by the North Carolina Department of Transportation. n See market street Page A5

New Galleria zoning postponed By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
With the 12.2-acre Galleria property recently annexed into the City of Wilmington from the Town of Wrightsville Beach, Wilmington City Council was scheduled to assign a first zoning to the property during its Tuesday, Aug. 19 meeting. The zoning recommended by city staff was Urban Mixed Use, also the subject of a public hearing and vote during Tuesday night’s meeting. The UMX zone was developed to address midrange infill developments within the city’s downtown center. The ordinance amendment up for discussion would have allowed the zoning on applicable lots outside of the downtown area. After a significant amount of discussion, the amendment was approved on first reading by city council in a 5-2 vote with Councilman Kevin O’Grady and Councilwoman Laura Padgett voting against. The second reading of the amendment failed a unanimous vote with Padgett and Councilman Earl Sheridan voting against waiving the second reading, which will push a final vote on approving the amendment to city council’s Sept. 2 meeting.
Without approval of the UMX ordinance, council could not proceed with the recommended zoning for the Galleria property and Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo motioned to continue the Galleria public hearing and zoning consideration to the Sept. 2 meeting as well.
“I think the UMX zoning is very good for downtown but it was developed for the urban areas of town and people choose to live either in urban sections or suburban sections of town.” During city council’s preliminary discussion about the UMX zoning, councilmembers O’Grady and Padgett expressed concerns about rushing the approval of a new mixed-use zoning outside of the downtown area. “I am enthusiastic about this new zoning designation but it appears to be coming very fast,” Padgett said. The UMX zoning outside of the downtown area would only be

available to lots 5 acres or larger with a maximum height of 55 feet or five stories with the requirement for structured parking. The structured parking could be wrapped around the development, in the form of a parking deck or hidden from the street view to push the building frontage to the street instead of parking lots. During the public hearing segment of the item, the majority of the city residents that spoke against the UMX zoning addressed the issue as neighbors of the Galleria property. Bonnie Nelson, a resident of New Orleans Place off of Wrightsville Avenue, said the area should keep a suburban feel. “I think the UMX zoning is very good for downtown but it was developed for the urban areas of town and people choose to live either in urban sections or suburban sections of town,” Nelson said. “I very much doubt that people knew this was occurring.” Three residents of the Edgewater neighborhood, adjacent to the Galleria property, also spoke during the hearing, including real estate investment firm manager Maurice Malfatti, who cautioned city council about rushing zoning ordinances and creating loopholes for developers. “As leaders, employing best practices that safeguard the community are important,” Malfatti said. “I would strongly urge you to heed councilmembers Padgett and O’Grady’s concerns about it being rushed; because, as a developer, these holes are something to latch onto and it can open the door to truly profit-driven development.” When the North Carolina General Assembly approved the Galleria reannexation June 30, it required a zoning designation be confirmed within 90 days. The Galleria property will remain without an official zoning from the city at least until council’s Sept. 2 meeting. email cole@luminanews.com

Softened Read to Achieve standards for students By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
It has been a rocky first year of implementation for the Read to Achieve standards in New Hanover County. “A lot has changed. It’s a constantly moving target,” said Cynthia Shields, county supervisor of language arts, during an Aug. 18 update on the standards to the New Hanover County Board of Education. Shields explained how the law, which establishes strict expectations for students not reading at grade level by the end of third grade, played out in county classrooms during the 2013-14 school year and into the summer. Shields said students are given multiple opportunities to establish proficiency during the school year, with both end-ofgrade and Read to Achieve tests administered multiple times and Lumina News file photo a reading portfolio of 36 read- Teacher Jessica Alphin helps a student during the Read to Achieve camp ing passages and assessments at Bradley Creek Elementary School July 16. offering an alternate route to proficiency. school districts three options to Markley holds the authority to In New Hanover County, address students entering fourth step in and lift the label of not 270 third graders did not dem- grade without established read- proficient at the end of fourth onstrate proficiency at the end ing skills. grade, even if the students do of the 2013-14 school year.

Wrightsville considers online payments By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
Wrightsville Beach residents might soon be able to pay their bills by credit card. The proposed online portal for making payments to the town is part of a larger plan to redesign the town’s website to be more userfriendly. At its monthly meeting Thursday, Aug. 14, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen heard a proposal by First Citizens Bank merchant services sales consultant Stacy P. Mintz about the type of service the bank would provide, the cost to the town, the necessary equipment and the security measures. “It’s a really comprehensive plan in that you would be able to take these payments via website, face to face, and we’ll also have a personal terminal so they could just enter

those transactions into a computer if someone were to call,” Mintz said. Mintz explained it was hard to predict the town’s monthly bill because it would vary depending on the average transaction amount and the types of cards used. She presented the board with rates based on a $125 ticket. Alderwoman Lisa Weeks suggested the board look into cheaper services such as PayPal for the sake of comparison, but Mintz pointed out PayPal might not have the ability to process multiple types of transactions. Town attorney John Wessell said the majority of people wanted the convenience of paying citations, building permits, bills and taxes by credit card. “Some people are used to doing it [by cash or check],” Wessel said, “but I just think there are a lot of people like myself who don’t carry cash.”
“This is the 21st century,” Weeks added. The board also asked Mintz to address the program’s security measures. “It has state-of-the-art security,” Mintz responded. “When you’re processing the credit card number, that number is changed to a billing number ... it doesn’t jumble it because there’s a brainiac somewhere who can figure that out. It’s called tokenization and it’s the latest and greatest in security.” Mintz added the program did not require a contract, so the town could try the service for six months or one year and cancel it at no cost. Despite that, the board members agreed to do more research before making a final decision. “I think this is something I’d be inclined to try, but I’d like to get more information and get input from the current municipalities that use this program,” Mayor Bill Blair said. email emmy@luminanews.com

Realtors lend a painting hand

Weekend Police Report Aug. 15
By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
With not enough money in the Wilmington Municipal Golf Course project fund for the City of Wilmington to pay for the repainting of the course’s clubhouse, the Wilmington Regional Association of Realtors stepped in to complete the project. The work began Wednesday, Aug. 13, with a crew from the association scraping the old hunter green paint off the clubhouse columns in preparation for painting. Jody Wainio, WRAR president, said the association was asked to help with the work by Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo a couple of months ago. “The mayor is a fellow Realtor and we have a program through our national association called Placemaking that is a grant program local associations can access to do beautification projects in the community,” Wainio said. “We put a group of more than 50 volunteers together for today and tomorrow and we hope to get this knocked out by then.”

Permit review offers insight into habitat designation impact By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
Comments on a pending permit application could offer local officials an idea of what to expect from the recent designation of Carolina Beach and Kure Beach as critical habitat for loggerhead sea turtles. New Hanover County Shore Protection Coordinator Layton Bedsole updated the Wilmington-New Hanover County Port, Waterway and Beach Commission about the status of a backup permit to renourish Kure Beach in 2016. The federally funded project is normally performed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The permit pursued by Bedsole allows the county to perform the project during an emergency. Bedsole said he suspects the new habitat designation influenced U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s review of the permit application. He responded to the comments and is awaiting a final opinion. “I think critical habitat had something to do with their comments. We responded in a manner that addressed the critical habitat, I thought, and we’ll see where the next round goes,” he said.
Bedsole did not reveal details about the permit, which is pending approval, but said he passed the comments and his responses to the corps division that will pursue authorization to complete the same project. “I know it’s going to affect what they do.
“I think critical habitat had something to do with their comments. We responded in a manner that addressed the critical habitat, I thought, and we’ll see where the next round goes.” I’m just trying to give them an opportunity to talk about that now rather than later,” Bedsole said. “I find if everybody’s talking, we get a better decision.” Fish and wildlife service announced in July the designation of 685 miles of coastline from North Carolina to Mississippi, including
Pleasure Island, as critical habitat for sea turtles. Designation went into effect Aug. 11. Pete Benjamin, supervisor of the FWS’s Raleigh Field Office said, during a July interview, designation would not significantly impact the work or outcome of beach management projects, but it would add a new section to the biological opinion prepared for every authorization of federally funded beach projects. The permit pursued by Bedsole is different than the process the corps will undergo to secure authorization, but he said the comments might give the corps an idea of what to expect. “I’m interested to see how fish and wildlife addresses the corps authorizations for current coastal storm damage reduction projects and current corps projects. That’s not just in North Carolina. That’s within every state that critical habitat hit, and for every project. That’s a lot of corps projects,” Bedsole said. “That’s a lot of work, or it could be.” Commission chairman Dennis Barbour agreed. “It’ll be interesting to see how much additional work goes into the process as a result,” Barbour said. email miriah@luminanews.com

Underage DWI A Wrightsville Beach Police patrol officer noticed a car leaving downtown Wrightsville Beach and traveling faster than the posted speed. The officer pulled out but left distance from the vehicle around 2:25 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15. The vehicle, driven by 20-yearold Russell Tatum, turned into the Banks Channel Pub and Grille parking lot so the officer kept going but soon turned around and noticed the car was traveling on Causeway Drive again. The officer followed the car west of the Heide Trask Drawbridge, observed the vehicle swerving just west of the bridge and initiated a traffic stop. When approaching the open window the officer smelled a strong odor of alcohol and initiated a field sobriety test during which Tatum registered a blood alcohol concentration of .21 percent.
Scotchman employee plays odds, loses The manager of the Scotchman convenience store near the corner of Wrightsville Avenue and Eastwood Road noticed the transaction list and money till were off when checking the register around 2:32 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15. The missing transactions were supposed to be paid by checks and the manager could not find any checks, even after checking the trash. However, the manager did find around four unscratched lottery tickets in the trashcan. After watching the surveillance tapes, the manager and Wrightsville Beach Police later discovered an employee, 22-year-old Brandy Foster, scanned the lottery tickets to check if they were winners. The tickets Foster scanned accumulated total winnings of $50, which accounted for the missing amount from the register.
Waterway aggravated assault A man called Wrightsville Beach Police Department to report his wife was sexually assaulted around 3:10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 15, after another man invited the couple on board his vessel, which was docked in Banks Channel near the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. The husband said after he went up to the deck to smoke a cigarette the owner of the vessel reached under his wife’s dress. The alleged offender remains unidentified at press time.
Two hit and runs, and a DWI Wrightsville Beach Police received a call about a hit and run near the Oceanic Restaurant around 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 16, when the victim reported a light blue or gray older model Toyota Camry ran into a truck parked on South Lumina Avenue hard enough to knock it out of its parking space. The offending vehicle, later found to be driven by 27-year-old Francis Gannon of Demorris, Ga., then traveled further north on South Lumina Avenue past Iula Street through the one-way sign. Once Gannon realized his error he allegedly attempted to reverse his vehicle to Iula Street but struck another vehicle, a white Dodge Ram truck, on the way. WBPD issued a Be On the Lookout order for the vehicle and a short time later Gannon was stopped by a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper and arrested for driving while impaired in addition to charges for the two counts of hit and run.

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y P a t B ra d f o r d
The Ferguson, MO, rioting and mayhem; could it happen here? Or should I ask, could it happen here again? Ferguson is a city in St. Louis County, Missouri, that occupies just more than 6 square miles. The population was 21,203 at the 2010 Census. Ferguson has a community college. The city’s motto is “Proud Past. Promising Future.” This week, I ask myself, could it happen again here in Wilmington, a city of more than 106,000 covering more than 40 square miles? Today’s Wilmington has a population that is 80 percent white, 16 percent black, but that has not always been the case. The City of Wilmington Police Department (WPD) is 71 percent white, 20 percent black; Ferguson is a city with a black majority, but white leadership, including its police department. This Port City has a history of racial ignition; the most notable was the Wilmington Race Riots, aka, the Wilmington Massacre or the Wilmington Coup d’Etat of 1898. The events are a shameful part of the city history in which estimates of 15 to 60 were killed, black businesses burned, including the offices of the only black-owned newspaper in the state, as white Democrats overthrew the legitimately elected local government, which was biracial. Following this, there was a mass exodus of blacks from the city, turning it from a black-majority to a white-majority city. The city’s black business community, thriving at the time, has never recovered. More recently, the rioting in February 1971 saw two people killed and others injured during a battle waged throughout the night and into the next day. The riot was triggered by the desegregation of the city high schools for the 1969-70 school year and the simmering anger following large demonstrations in Wilmington after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., in 1968. This Month in North Carolina History, February 1971 - The Wilmington Ten, at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill library begins: “In early February, 1971, downtown Wilmington, N.C. was a war zone. Shots rang through the streets, traffic was blocked, and citizens were barricaded in a church. Although it took only a couple of days to restore peace and order, the actions of those few days and nights would bring worldwide attention to North Carolina, and would resonate for decades to come.” Sounds like Ferguson, MO. Three decades after conviction and imprisonment, nine African American men and one white woman, known as “The Wilmington Ten,” were pardoned by then Governor Beverly Perdue on the grounds that “the convictions were tainted by naked racism.” Not only can a parallel be seen between the Wilmington riot of 1971 and the Ferguson riot of 2014, comparisons can be drawn between the present media-induced imagery and the black and white photos of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 60s. The similarities are uncanny. One of many highly disturbing photographs in the last couple of days that could have been shot during the
Civil Rights era pictures a white police officer with a police dog in full attack mode addressing a black protestor. Every day a bit more of the story comes out. I am not going to attempt to wade into the debate over what happened there, I will leave that to others with more time on their hands. What stuns me is the inability to curb the civil disobedience, precipitated by the shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white officer — the boiling anger, the rioting, looting and burning of businesses there — days on end of chaos. The riot gear, tear gas, stun grenades, lines of combat-dressed officers with heavy weapons, the National Guard deployed against Americans, the tear gassed streets complete with international journalists, look like the civil war of a foreign country, all because the citizens are uprising against what they see as excessive force against one of their own by a police officer. Excessive force has long been a complaint heard when complaint is rendered against law enforcement in Wilmington. In 2013 WPD’s internal affairs received 50 citizens’ complaints, resulting in 68 allegations of policy violations ranging from conduct toward public (17) to neglect of duty (one). There were seven complaints of excessive violence. The chief’s forward in the 2013 WPD Internal Affairs Annual Report states: “Officers are given authority to enforce laws, take away individual freedoms and use force when necessary.” Residents recently objected to accreditation of the department, citing the department’s excessive use of this force. For 2013, there were 232 arrests requiring force, or 2.78 percent of the 8,318 arrests made. This was a 15 percent increase in “use of force incidents” over 2012. Furthermore the report reveals in 2013, a 214 percent increase in “Hard Hand Control,” a 119 percent increase in officers displaying lethal force, and a 100 percent increase in the use of OC Spray. In 2013, five WPD officers were involved in shootings and one videotaped incident with a police dog which bit a man surrendering after running a DUI checkpoint. In 2013, WPD internal affairs received 50 citizens’ complaints revealing 68 allegations of policy violations. From this, internal affairs conducted 21 investigations. The summaries report 44 sustained special investigations, 36 sustained internal investigations and 24 sustained citizen complaints, totaling 84 policy violations. Corrective action resulted in one termination, five resignations and 10 suspensions, in addition to counseling, performance notes in files and written reminders. The nation and the people of Ferguson will talk about the latest riots for the next 100 years. What can Wilmington and the nation learn from it? Good things can emerge if Ferguson’s unrest fosters real dialogue among us about where we have come from and how we proceed into our future, together.
Letters to the Editor Crosswalk safety
At the latest town meeting of Wrightsville Beach, the Board of Aldermen held a hearing concerning the petition for a Mixed Use Conditional Use Permit for the former Scotchman property at at 100 West Salisbury Street. As reported in the Lumina News and as can be heard from the Livestream archives they unanimously rejected the request on the basis of “increased safety concerns” regarding foot traffic crossing Salisbury from the loop as well from parking on Pelican Drive. What is terribly wrong with this picture? The complete LACK of attention the BOA have given the pitiful condition of safety at our existing crosswalks is what is terribly wrong. Spend a few minutes observing vehicle, bike and pedestrian behavior at Tower 7/ Wings/Aussie Island. Watch the crowds stream both east and west on Salisbury headed to and from the beach trying to navigate the intense North Lumina intersection. Finally, visit the crosswalk at Pelican and Salisbury just west of Kenan Creek. Note how difficult it is for a pedestrian, especially loaded with young children and beach chairs, to safely get across. Count the near misses, confusion and violations of the law. One would never deduce that “pedestrians at a
marked crosswalk have the right of way” by NC State Law. Seldom will you see even the tap of a brake light. “Right on Red” does not mean you can bully pedestrians and bikes at the crosswalk. We need to demand better, we need the collective shoulders of our Town Leadership to secure improvement of these intersections. These are intersections of life versus machine, “He with the greatest mass wins” can not be the rule of common law in our town. We need our Board to demand loud, clear and often to NC DOT, “we must have High Visibilty Crosswalks.” That means more that just fresh paint. It means in street “pedestrian right of way” signs, proper high visibilty paint schemes, elimination of right on red where relevant and finally police enforcement of the crosswalk law. Dear Alderman, recognize we are a large pedestrian community, big/small, young/old. We have our rights, we need protected. Stop waiting for NC DOT to lead we elected you for that role.

the entrance near the Oceanic Restaurant. The university partnered with the town to maintain order and safety on the beach, contracting three officers through the Wrightsville Beach Police Department in addition to 25-30 UNCW staff members and 11 security officers roving through the crowd. Wrightsville Beach Police Chief Dan House said no civil penalties or citations were issued by police officers at the event, but officers did arrest two students. UNCW students Benjamin Pierce and Brittany Turner were arrested on charges of being intoxicated and disruptive. House said the two individuals began arguing with UNCW staff when Turner was admitted to the event but Pierce was not. “Basically, these two got into a verbal confrontation with UNCW staff trying to gain entry to the Beach Blast,” House said. “Both of them were intoxicated, saying

Crouch, who spoke at the invitation of the board. Crouch said he recognized support among council members and in the community to reduce plastic bag use, citing efforts by local businesses and organizations to make reusable bags more convenient. “We always work for what we call a tipping point. We’re out there beating the drum, and other organizations are getting on board and more and more people are learning about it,” Crouch said. Crouch cited a program that distributes free reusable bags at Roberts Market as one indication of support in Wrightsville Beach. Montgomery Carter of Totes
things to the staff and cursing, so they decided to arrest them.” House said arrests at the event are uncommon. “Most of the years we’ve been there, it’s a non-event. We may have issued a couple civil
citations but we haven’t arrested anybody,” he said. House commended the UNCW staff for the work they do to encourage students to stay sober and follow the rules. “They’re fantastic. They do
a great job and try to educate everybody, let everybody know the rules,” House said. Wrightsville Beach Park Ranger Shannon Slocum also maintained a presence during the event. He said attention focused
at the entrance kept things calmer on the beach. He patrolled the area around the beach, especially nearby house parties and parking lots. Slocum reported writing one citation for littering after he saw students at a house party on Nathan Street throw orange peels into the street. Slocum said a heavy staff presence of beach safety officials sent a signal to students new to the area that rules are enforced at Wrightsville Beach. “A lot of it is just visibility. It’s a reminder that we’re pretty diligent as far as patrolling these
areas out here,” Slocum said. Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue also kept an eye on the waters, with six or seven lifeguards on duty in the area. The UNCW chapter of the Surfrider Foundation organizes a beach sweep after the event each year. President Mae Henry said leaving the beach cleaner than they found it is a way of thanking the town. “It’s really good to leave the image to the town that UNCW cares, that we care about the beaches and we appreciate them letting us use this,” Henry said.

city planners’ concerns about Market Street traffic seeping into their neighborhoods as a result of the road diet, Carolina Place Ardmore Neighborhood Association president Charles Blanton said the road diet still received unanimous support. “Probably about every two weeks there is an accident and about every month or two there is a serious accident in this little corridor,” Blanton said during a Tuesday, Aug. 19 phone interview. “We have had people hit trees, we have had people up in yards and one of the worst ones was a car ended up in the lawn of one of the historic mansions on its side, tore up the lawn and was inches away from hitting the gas line.” The health of the historic oaks that line this stretch of Market Street and the historic character of the neighborhoods also encouraged the Historic Wilmington Foundation to join the cause, Blanton said. In 2014, the foundation listed this stretch of the Market Street corridor on its annual Most Threatened Places list. “We want [the road diet] because it preserves the historic nature of this corridor,” he said. “You bring it down to two lanes and it looks better and it saves the historic entrance to the city.” In addition to traffic calming, Blanton said residents of the area believe reducing Market Street to two lanes would make the neighborhood safer for pedestrian and bicycle traffic. “We have been going to these neighborhood planning meetings and everyone is talking about walkable neighborhoods and connectivity, and right now we can’t walk across the street to Port City Java because the traffic is so bad,” he said. “The four lanes of Market Street in this space are about the same size as Front Street and no one would ever think that is a big enough street to run four lanes at 35 to 45 miles per hour.” Mike Kozlosky said there is currently no timeline for the study. If a recommended change to the Market Street roadway in that space does emerge from the new study, Kozlosky said it would also have to be approved by NCDOT because it is a state road.

Totes donates a reusable bag to Roberts for every bag he sells at Surf City Surf Shop, Planet and Urban Revival. “So far, what I’ve been able to do is raise money to support this cause, which is to directly eliminate plastic bags,” Carter said during an Aug. 19 interview. Carter started the program in January. He buys T-shirts from local thrift stores and sews them together to create a bag capable of holding up to 30 pounds. He said he was motivated to start the program because he wanted to see change. “I was absolutely sick of not doing anything about plastic bags, so I decided to do something,” Carter said. “If I couldn’t be a rally man, a person to really
bring people together, I was going to do something first-hand. Out of that came Totes Totes.” Crouch said Surfrider will focus on Carolina Beach as the plastic bag committee collects information to submit to the town council, but he would come to Wrightsville Beach if the board of aldermen extended a request. Wrightsville Beach Town Manager Tim Owens said he did not foresee the board extending a request. He questioned whether considering such a policy would require support in Raleigh. “I can’t speak for our board but they might be hesitant to really get involved in that,” Owens said during an Aug. 18 phone interview. “I’m not sure that’s the place of a local government, at
this point, to ban plastic bags or water bottles or any of that type of stuff. I think that’s a bigger, broader issue.” Owens also suggested it might be hard to implement in a community with a transient population. “If I’m living here, I know I’m going to have to take two canvas bags to Harris Teeter. But if you’re coming in from wherever you’re coming in from, you’re not going to know to do that. If you’re not quite as transient, it might be a little easier,” Owens said. Carolina Beach is currently accepting applications for seven citizens, preferably from diverse backgrounds, to serve on the ad hoc plastic bag committee. email miriah@luminanews.com

However, in addition to the onset of the recent economic recession and shift in state transportation funding, Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization executive director Mike Kozlosky said it is unlikely the project would receive funding anytime soon because it did not score well in NCDOT’s new funding system and it would consume a majority of the $190 million in transportation funding slated for the entirety of NCDOT Division III’s 10-year program. With funding for the extension not likely, the Carolina Place Ardmore Neighborhood Association and the Historic Wilmington Foundation renewed the push for the road diet during the past year, collecting more than 600 signatures that were presented to Wilmington City Council during its Aug. 5 meeting. During that meeting city council approved allocating $15,000 to revisit the study and determine if a road diet would be feasible without the Independence Boulevard extension. The Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Transportation Advisory Committee will vote whether to provide the required matching $15,000 and continue with the study during its Aug. 27 meeting. If it progresses, Kozlosky said the study would look at the city traffic system as a whole and specifically that area of Market Street. “It will be a systems-level analysis as well as intersection level analysis to determine the feasibility of implementing a road diet on Market Street from Covil Avenue to 16th Street,” Kozlosky said during a Tuesday, Aug. 19 phone interview. “It really looks at how our infrastructure will function if you remove the Independence Boulevard extension from the mix. [City] staff has cautioned that the professional engineers and planners that prepared the report in 2007 identified the need for the extension to be completed prior to implementation of the road diet.” While the residents of Carolina Place and Ardmore have heard

of the memo of understanding, by definition, it ought to include all inlets whether they need money or not,” Blair said during an Aug. 19 phone interview. Blair said the board of aldermen and other town leaders share his concerns about fair use of the funds, and unless the concerns are addressed, he will not support the agreement on Aug. 27. Access to the funds is limited, granting eligibility only to inlet dredging projects that qualify for state funds established in a 2013 law. Wrightsville Beach Mayor Pro Tem Darryl Mills said that stipulation leaves only Carolina Beach Inlet as an immediate beneficiary. “If I’m not mistaken, the only inlet that meets that criteria is Carolina Beach Inlet. So while they

give with one hand, they take away with the other,” Mills said during an Aug. 18 phone interview. Masons Inlet does not qualify for the state funds under the current arrangement, in which property owners on Figure Eight Island and the north end of Wrightsville Beach shoulder the cost of maintenance following its 2002 relocation. Masonboro Inlet is also excluded in the agreement because it is a federally maintained inlet. Mills said it makes sense to include it in anticipation of a future change in federal support. “I don’t think you should eliminate Masonboro Inlet because there may come a time when it needs some help,” Mills said. Wrightsville Beach Town Manager Tim Owens, who echoed concerns that the agreement does not include all the county’s inlets, said no restriction or limit to how much one project can claim is
another problem. “There needs to be some kind of formula, an equity formula, in my opinion, so not all funding is going to one inlet,” Owens said during an Aug. 18 phone interview. The fund is starting with a little more than $1 million, but will only draw approximately $50,000 per year. Owens said the local share of $400,000 needed to maintain Carolina Beach Inlet could quickly drain the fund. Blair stressed the town’s concerns about the agreed use of the funds are not meant to divert financial assistance needed to maintain Carolina Beach Inlet. “We’re not trying to take away from Carolina Beach. We’re just trying to make sure that the way it gets done is equitable to all inlets,” Blair said. “It just looks like we’re lending a helping hand here in a very rushed manner and
I’m not sure that’s a great effort.” Blair said the timeline to enact guidelines seems rushed, adding that he would support slowing down to take a more comprehensive view. “Everyone’s moving mighty quick without thinking completely long-term. It looks to me like everybody’s looking for a shortterm fix here for Carolina Beach Inlet and not taking the long view, and the long view is, let’s come up with something that makes sense for all inlets,” Blair said. Lisa Wurtzbacher, county finance director and treasurer for the tourism development authority, prepared the draft agreement and sent it to all authority board members for consideration before the meeting. She said she plans to address concerns echoed by all board members before the Aug. 27 vote. email miriah@luminanews.com

estimated at 1,500 square feet, but the board and public’s main concern was the location of the 10 overflow parking spaces. The applicant indicated customers would be able to park on Pelican Drive or walk across Salisbury Street to the building. Becky Steadman, of No. 2 Pelican Drive, whose property is across Kenan Creek from 100 W. Salisbury St., said parking on Pelican Drive was not consistently available. “If I owned that business and I wanted to rely on those parking spots that’s not going to happen,” Steadman said. “Along Pelican they’re the closest spots to the beach so on any weekend they’re the first ones to fill up.” Alderwoman Lisa Weeks agreed, adding that even with a proposed crosswalk, it was still not safe or convenient to require

people to walk down that busy section of Salisbury Street. “As far as public safety is concerned I don’t see how that’s public safety, asking someone to walk down along Salisbury and walk across,” Weeks said. The board agreed the property needed to be developed to create something beneficial for the town and the residents, but also decided too many issues existed with the proposed project. Mayor pro tem Darryl Mills summarized the board’s mixed feelings: “We all would like to see something happen over there,” Mills said. “But dealing with all the parking issues we’ve got ... some of the residents over there want us to start policing it like we do Harbor Island, so this kind of runs counter to that. It’s not like we’ve had other ideas come to us for that area, so that kind of makes it tough.” email emmy@luminanews.com

End of summer celebration for hospice By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
Labor Day weekend, the Coastline Conference and Event Center will host the fourth annual Last Chance for White Pants Gala to support Lower Cape Fear Hospice & LifeCareCenter. During the event, held Aug. 29, guests will have the opportunity to enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres, live music and raffle prizes while donning white to celebrate the end of summer. Event co-chair Linda Brown said in previous years the gala has raised $50,000 to benefit the Lower Cape Fear Hospice Foundation and she expects this year’s event to be more popular than ever. “We will have 500 tickets and we’ve already sold three-fourths of them,” Brown said during an Aug. 14 phone interview. “The outpouring from our community has really been wonderful.” Many local businesses have
donated items to be raffled off at the event, including jewelry, restaurant gift cards, vacations, hotel stays and a bicycle. Mo’Sol, which played at last year’s event, will entertain guests with a mix of Motown, funk, soul and hip-hop. “They were so popular [at the 2013 event],” Brown said. “We don’t usually repeat, but we listened to the people so we are bringing Mo’Sol back this year.” Proceeds from the gala will benefit the Every Moment Matters Campaign to add a six-room patient wing and renovate the existing 12-room Dr. Robert M. Fales Hospice Pavilion, Wilmington’s inpatient hospice care center. Lower Cape Fear Hospice development director Veronica Godwin said the campaign goal is to raise $3.1 million for the project by the end of the year. “The existing [12 bedroom] building is over 17 years old,” Godwin said during an Aug. 15 phone interview. “We’re replacing
the furniture, replacing the beds, and painting ... and also we’re building a brand new [six-bedroom] facility.” Godwin said the expansion was necessary given the need for hospice care. “We generally have a waiting list and when a bed becomes available we are filling it within hours,” Godwin said. “We’ll be able to serve more patients that are in need of acute end of life care. ... This will increase our in-patient capacity by 50 percent.” Brown said the Last Chance for White Pants Gala has encouraged an outpouring of support for hospice care from the community because it is an organization that impacts the lives of so many people. “Most of us, if we haven’t been touched by hospice at some point in our lives, we will probably,” Brown said. email emmy@luminanews.com

A social media platform used to swap book reviews engaged many Wrightsville Beach School students to continue reading after the 2013-14 school year wrapped up in June. Wrightsville Beach School librarian Lucrece Medlicott tried the new approach to keep kids excited about reading and to better understand their preferences. “I wanted students to pursue reading for enjoyment this summer. I wanted them to selfselect and tell me all about it,” Medlicott said. In the past, Medlicott distributed reading lists or reminded students about programs at the county library to encourage summer reading. But in the flurry of back-to-school excitement, she never got the chance to really know what students read during the break. So she decided to use Padlet, an online bulletin board, to continue the discussion throughout the summer. It turned out to be a success. Students logged 150 literary reflections and recommendations to WBS Reads Padlet. “The library is certainly not all about books on a shelf anymore. There is an element of technology, and when you can incorporate the two and combine them, that’s very engaging to the students,” Medlicott said. “This really is just a virtual wall where everybody can collaborate in a fun way and discuss a topic together, and it’s just so simple to use that even the kindergartners understand what to do.”
Medlicott said the participation exceeded her expectations, especially the sustained momentum from students to post and share. “I really wondered if beyond the first two weeks of school being out, I would see much of anything. But I would say even this late in the summer, I’m getting an email with new postings once or twice a week. There are certainly kids that have continued with it,” Medlicott said. Medlicott listed the Junie B. Jones and Nate the Great series as big hits this summer. During the last few weeks of the school year, Medlicott taught the students how to post to the Padlet and stay safe in an online community. Students were told to use first names or nicknames only and to ask permission before posting any pictures.
“I was concerned about doing things online and parents become very concerned about that,” Medlicott said. “Anybody in the world could pull that up and look at it, and we talked about that. It was a great side lesson, to be able to incorporate some Internet safety features.” Although the Padlet was meant to motivate students to read during the summer break, Medlicott plans to continue using Padlet throughout the school year. All students at Wrightsville Beach School come to the library once per week and during their first visits of the 2014-15 school year, Medlicott plans to get some feedback on the program and decide how to continue using the platform based on their experiences. email miriah@luminanews.com

Bringing the Beach Together
e r u t u f t h g i Br for women’s surfing By Emmy Errante, Staff Writer
S
tand-up paddleboarder Anna Blackburn stroked through the clear water at Public Beach Access No. 38, paddling hard to catch one of the larger waves of the day. Nearby, her 12-year-old sister Jenna stood on her own paddleboard, cheering as 14-year-old Anna steered her heavy board down the face of the wave. The Blackburn sisters were competing in the SUP Surf division final of the East Coast Wahine Classic, held Aug. 16 and 17 at the south end of Wrightsville Beach. Throughout the day, encouragement and congratulations were exchanged between competitors, from the professional surfers to the novices competing in their first contest to the 10-year-old guppy division competitors. “There’s lots of community building and mentoring that goes on from the older more experienced surfers to the younger surfers,” contest organizer Jo Pickett said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. On the beach after the SUP Surf final, Anna Blackburn said she offered advice to her younger sister several times during the heat, helping her figure out which waves to catch. “Jenna was watching me surf [one wave] and she was saying, ‘Go Anna!’ But I saw a second wave behind it so I was like, ‘There’s one behind it, Jen!’ She went for it, but if I hadn’t told her she would have just been watching me.” The girls’ father, Barry Blackburn, wanted to make sure Jenna had a positive experience in her first contest. “Just make sure you love on her and tell her good job, make sure she knows that,” he said to Anna. “I think it’s great that they have a girls-only event,” he added. “Most of the time when Anna goes to compete there’s no other girls doing standup so she has to compete with the men.” The positive atmosphere persisted all weekend despite a lack of swell in the water. Pickett correctly predicted Saturday’s competition would be cut short by thunderstorms and high tide so contest organizers held side-by-side heats all morning to finish in half the time. Sunday offered more pleasant weather,
with blue skies, glassy waves and clear water. Competitors relaxed on the beach between heats, chatting with each other and enjoying free lunch donated by Mellow Mushroom and Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches. Sinetta Ruiz and Molly McCray stood in the shade of the judge’s platform, comparing surfing competition stories. “This contest has a lot more community spirit than other contests because it’s an all- female competition,” Ruiz said. “We’re always the odd ones out at the contests because it’s 100 guys and only 15 girls so it’s nice to have something that’s just ours to represent the girls’ side of surfing.” The very first wahine contest was held the year 18-year-old McCray was born, and she competed in the guppy division of the contest growing up. “This is the one contest I’ve done since I was a kid,” she said. “All the girls are friends and we all know each other. And even if I don’t know them I’ll still go congratulate them.” As Sunday’s competition wrapped up, Airlie Pickett won the pro shortboard division and Misty Mangiacapre finished first in pro longboard. Anna Blackburn won both the SUP Surf 16 and up and the SUP Surf 15 and under divisions, and her sister Jenna placed second. A prize was also awarded to the most radical maneuver completed throughout the entire contest. The award went to Bree Labiak, a 10-year-old shortboarder who aspires to be the first professional surfer with cystic fibrosis. “The guppies were throwing the highest scores of the contest and they’re 12 and under,” Jo Pickett said.

The centerpiece of the live auction will be a watercolor painting by nationally known artist Deborah Cavanaugh, titled, “There is No Place Like Home.” The 30- by 24-inch piece represents life at Wrightsville Beach, with references throughout to local landmarks and activities. “We counted them, and I think there are 35 references throughout the painting,” Flagler said. “It’s so detailed. It’s been a really heartwarming tribute that she’s put together.”
Cavanaugh, who lived near Wrightsville Beach for 20 years before moving back to her hometown of Washington, D.C., said she created the piece as a tribute to the town and the community that supported her as an artist and helped her raise her children. Every detail in the painting honors a specific aspect of the Wrightsville Beach community, from the surfers to the fishermen to the families swimming in the ocean. “I wanted to really represent in a pictorial way what the folks who live at the beach love about the beach,” she said. “I wanted to really allow the people who live at the beach to see themselves in the painting.” Cavanaugh said the process
of painting also allowed her to reflect on her memories from Wrightsville Beach during the years. “Remembering my many times on the beach, with my grandfather fishing and my children running around and digging their sand piles, so it’s sort of an insider’s perspective to what we see,” she said. The painting reflects the purpose of Lumina Daze, which is to celebrate life at Wrightsville Beach. “North Carolina has all different kinds of beaches and all of them are different,” Woodbury said. “But of course we think Wrightsville Beach is the most unique.” email emmy@luminanews.com
Painting by Deborah Cavanaugh

The Wrightsville Beach community comes together at the end of August to remember and celebrate the legendary 1930s era of dancing and dining at Lumina Pavilion. This year’s Lumina Daze Celebration will be held Sunday, Aug. 24 at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. Madeline Flagler, Wrightsville Beach Museum executive director, said the event would pay homage to Lumina Pavilion with a carefree night of food and live music. “Such a focal point of the Lumina Pavilion was the dance floor,” Flagler said during an Aug.18 phone interview. “The event really, to a great degree,
has always been centered around the music.” Max Woodbury, Wrightsville Beach Museum volunteer, remembered the excitement of visiting Lumina as a child and seeing the famous musical acts that played at the pavilion. “A lot of the people that come used to go to the upper deck and dance rock and roll,” Woodbury said during an Aug. 18 phone interview. “I’ve been as close to four feet away from Jerry Lee Lewis when I was a little kid. … I told my mom I saw the craziest guy, he stood on his head and played the piano.” Flagler said three bands will entertain guests with live music throughout the evening. The Imitations, a crowd favorite in years past, will be back this
year to play beach music for guests on the front patio. The Wilmington Big Band orchestra will provide swing music in the Blockade Runner ballroom, and The Dixieland All-Stars will perform lively jazz music. “We have [the bands] spread out throughout the Blockade Runner venue so you can really drift back and forth between the different music areas,” Flagler said. The Blockade Runner will provide food and drinks in its restaurant and on the front lawn for guests to purchase, and countless businesses in the community have donated items for both live and silent auctions. Flagler said among the items donated are tickets to trolley tours, tickets to Taste of

Dance, theater and film, along with other art disciplines, will be exhibited in various locations throughout the Wilmington region from Aug. 21-24 during the SARUS Festival. Sarus, Sanskrit for of water, influenced many of the exhibits inspired by the Cape Fear River and Atlantic Ocean. The festival will showcase the works of local and visiting artists. Nine visiting dancers, alongside three members of Alban Elved Dance Company, will be in a production of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream — Dissected.” The piece was directed by Karola Lüttringhaus, who works as artistic director and choreographer of AEDC, as well as director of the SARUS Festival. Lüttringhaus said the production combines acting, dance and film to make social and critical statements about human emotion, theatre’s influence in society and the impacts of patriarchy and the institute of marriage. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream — Dissected” is a piece of modern, multi-disciplinary art composed of short vignette films; the first few vignettes will be featured in the SARUS Festival. The style of dance found in the production does not pertain to one specific genre. “There is no ballet, Irish, folk, hip-hop, jazz or similar dance style represented that you can typically find in dance studios,” Lüttringhaus said. The premiere performance will take place Friday, Aug. 22 at 9:30 p.m. at Jengo’s Playhouse, and is suitable for mature audiences.

Like all events in the SARUS Festival, there is no admission fee, but donations are encouraged. “I wanted it to be free. I think it should be available to everyone,” Lüttringhause said. “We’re not going to turn anyone away.” The opening-night events of SARUS will take place Thursday, Aug. 21 at the Ocean Grill and Tiki Bar, the Carolina Beach Fishing Pier and in the sand from 3:15 to 9 p.m. Spectators can enjoy live didgeridoo music, trapeze dances, aerial performances and human sculptures. Friday’s exhibits will take place at various indoor and outdoor locations throughout downtown Wilmington. The first event of the evening, “In Wonderland,” performed by Cape Fear Dance Theater, will start at the fountain at the corner of Market and Water streets at 6 p.m., and will lead audience members through downtown Wilmington. Saturday’s event will be a presentation of works, installations and performances at Cameron Art Museum at 6:30 p.m. Audience members will follow a path that will guide them to indoor and outdoor exhibits. Sunday, Aug. 24, the final day of the SARUS Festival, exhibits can be experienced at Public Beach Access No. 4 at Wrightsville Beach from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Onlookers can enjoy interdisciplinary dance, an interactive sound performance and a presentation of kinetics movement arts.

Fine art displayed en plein air
Creative minds at the Annex By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
Slightly altered versions of reality will be on display at the Annex Surf Supply’s Creative Minds art show Thursday, Aug. 28, where local artist Kate Sinclair and photographer Amanda Batten will display their works. This will be the first public show for Batten, who specializes in High Dynamic Range photography, a style that produces greater ranges of luminosity and contrast between dark and light subjects. “I like to take pictures in a way that makes people think,” Batten said. “It is not just me taking a picture that someone else could easily do and putting it in a frame; I like to help people visualize things in ways they normally would not.” A majority of the subjects in Batten’s displayed photographs will be from Wilmington with a few from her travels in New York. Batten said she hopes patrons will recognize some of the local subjects but also see them in a different light with the HDR process. Like Batten, Sinclair’s acrylic and oil paintings often showcase familiar subjects in a different way. One of Sinclair’s favorite things to paint is famous faces constructed from long, flowing lines. “I have always been interested in famous portraiture, I have done Einstein and Abraham Lincoln, and the one I am displaying at this show is John Lennon,” Sinclair said. “I also do just a free-flow style with no reference at all and the one I want to show is a 6-foot-tall painting of my imaginary bouquet of flowers.” Those long, flowing lines Sinclair prefers to work with are often vibrant pastels intermingled with strands of earth tones. “I really enjoy the way colors play off each other,” she said. “I like the way the bright ones vibrate and talk to each other and then you add in some more earthy tones like browns and grays, and they relate and communicate in a different way when they are combined.” Both Sinclair and Batten will display a variety of images at the show, with some of Batten’s framed in repurposed materials and Sinclair’s large works framed in custom-made steel frames created by her friend, metal smith Carson Cram. Portions of those steel frames were treated to show the steel’s natural oxidization. Sinclair, who has displayed her works at various downtown Wilmington locations, said she appreciates having a space to show her work at the beach as well. “It is nice because the beach has a different vibe and you can show different things out there than you might downtown,” Sinclair said. Originals and prints will be available for purchase from both artists at the show, which will run from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 28. email cole@luminanews.com

Local explorer shares spirit of adventure By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer
Before Wilmington native Tonia Lovejoy embarks on an expedition to circumnavigate the world during fall 2014, she will stop by the New Hanover County Northeast Regional Library to discuss how technology like social networks and satellite mapping create a global community. “With Google Maps and Google Earth and satellite technologies, it is very clear that we are all on one shared world, and whether a person thinks of themselves as a global citizen or not, they are all on that map,” Lovejoy said. Lovejoy’s recent endeavor, the Beautiful Nation Project, is an example of how new technology can educate and inspire. The project uses an experiential learning platform to link students to scientific exploration and investigation, beginning with an expedition she will captain this fall, the Voyage of Makulu. The all-female crew of educators, scientists, artists and explorers departs in September. They have port stops planned in five continents as they travel south to the equator from the coastal communities of the northeastern United States, down to the Caribbean and Central America and around to the Pacific Ocean. Lovejoy said she did not plan to hire a crew of women. “It wasn’t intentional. It just so happened that the coolest, smartest
tools, Lovejoy described the platform as a virtual science fair. The group will focus on water quality this fall, joining two marine research teams and using local researcher Bonnie Monteleone’s findings on marine debris to help students understand how human consumption and waste impacts nearby waters. Lovejoy said the work of Monteleone, a University of North Carolina Wilmington researcher and founder of Plastic Ocean Project, underscores her belief that Wilmington is already working to implement a global
perspective on a local scale. “I love Wilmington because it has all these hidden connections with the global community. It’s a small town but it has a lot of reach,” Lovejoy said. “After so much traveling, it’s a place that I feel proud to come back to. It’s a home on the big map.” Lovejoy will speak at the Northeast Branch of the New Hanover County Northeast Regional Library Aug. 26 at 6 p.m. The free program is provided by the Friends of the New Hanover County Public Library. email miriah@luminanews.com

Longtime Loop fixture dies After a battle with stage four renal cell cancer, Donald James “Jim” Fisher, a longtime figure on the John Nesbitt Loop with the Wrightsville Beach Baptist Church water ministries, died in his residence Tuesday, Aug. 12. Born in Charleston in 1949 and a resident of Wilmington from an early age, Jim Fisher was part of the first group of surfers on Wrightsville Beach and was recently a fixture repairing small engines at Craft American Hardware before he was diagnosed Sept. 3, 2013. With no warning symptoms, Fisher said he was completely surprised during a December 2013 Lumina News interview with his wife, Tammy Fisher. “Renal cell cancer is a type of cancer that gives you no symptoms … you don’t get any kind of suspicious things,” Fisher said in December. “It had been growing for about three to five years and I can’t say enough that I never felt a thing.” Surviving is his wife, Tammy Caton Walters Fisher; stepchildren, Ryan David Walters and Sarah Elizabeth Walters; brother, Onree Theodore “Ted” Fisher Jr. and wife Nancy of San Antonio, Texas; nephews, Ian Onree Fisher and Colt Theodore Fisher; a niece, Morgan
people I knew were women. They were just the best people for the job,” Lovejoy said. Classrooms will stay connected with the expedition by signing up for an account on the Beautiful Nation Project’s geosocial network. “It’s like Facebook in that everyone is connected based on location. All content is linked to location,” Lovejoy said. “We have this opportunity with Google Maps and this social networking platform to create a lot of different connections.” With various streams of live content and interactive educational

Fisher, Jean Fisher Smith and Max; cousins, Pam Snyder and husband John, Carlton Fisher and wife Julie, Dianna Abbott and husband Craig, Steven Smith, Barbara Adcock and her husband Terry, Anna Fisher, Mason Fisher, Matthew Snyder and Jeremy Snyder. Jim proudly served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War while he was assigned to the U.S. Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. He loved fixing things, surfing, motorcycles, and was an avid NASCAR fan. He was employed at Craft American Hardware for the last eight years as a small engine mechanic. He always referred to the verse in Matthew 6:1: Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. During his December interview, Fisher said, “We may not know who they are but we pray for everybody who has gone through this [disease] and whose loved ones have gone through this. Our faith lets us know we are not alone and somebody that reads this may feel so alone and forgotten but I would just like them to know they are not alone.”

Sports/Marine Hook, Line & Sinker Late August fishing finally improving
Hundreds hit waves for Surfers Healing
By Skylar Walters
The rain has subsided, the water has finally cleared and the fishing is starting to pick up pace. Even though water temperatures are still very warm and reading in the lower 80s, last week’s few days of cooler temperatures and northeast winds evidently helped get the fish turned back on. Unfortunately the heat has returned in force this week, making the daytime fishing a little less desirable for
the vicinity of Masonboro Inlet in recent days. Heading out with a live well full of menhaden or jigging up some shad, aka “LYs,” around the rocks and slow trolling or drifting should elicit at least a strike or two. Another favorite bait sure to draw some interest from a king mackerel is live bluefish. They can also be found around the rocks by using small spoons and Got-Cha Plugs.
Last week’s few days of cooler temperatures and northeast winds evidently helped to get the fish turned back on. anglers, but the improved fishing takes the burn out just a tad. Offshore, a few days of very calm conditions allowed anglers to venture to just about any desired destination. Anglers fishing the deeper water near the Gulf Stream found a few scattered wahoo. Dolphin fishing has been decent in this area as well, but a lot of fish have also been found in the 20-30 mile range. Bottom fishing for grouper has been good in around 100 feet of water and is also yielding some triggerfish, black bass and snapper. Speaking of bottom fishing, anglers are hooking some fish in shallower water, however they are reporting a lot of sharks invading the ledges in anything less than 100 feet. Along the beach, the false albacore have been abundant in the 3-5 mile range. Some goodsized Spanish mackerel are also mixed in. There’s been plenty of baitfish around the inlets and that’s been drawing in the king mackerel. Plenty of anglers have reported seeing kings skying in
Inshore, the finger mullet are getting larger and more plentiful daily, meaning the fishing in shallow water should be improving very soon. Red drum are around but scattered and can be found in the deeper creeks and around the docks. The flounder are plentiful but finding a decent keeper will take some work. A lot of the fish are falling just shy of the 15-inch size limit. For larger fish, drifting the inlets or heading into the Cape Fear River will improve your chances of getting a trophy. Surf and pier anglers are catching some goodsized Virginia mullet on fresh shrimp. A few small pompano and croakers have also been spotted. On a more regrettable note, I, along with many others in the Wrightsville Beach community, lost a true friend and die-hard fisherman last week. Captain Rob Tennille IV will be truly missed and one could only hope to have a life as adventurous as his. I have no doubt he is currently catching the big one. Catch ’em up, dude!

Children experience a surf session at Wrightsville Beach with help from adult volunteers during the Surfers Healing autism surf day on Monday, Aug. 18.
By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
It was a day in the sun and surf for the hundreds of families gathered on the shores of Wrightsville Beach Monday, Aug. 18, for the annual Surfers Healing autism surf day. Young surfers like Mia Tomaselli and Alexia Hack spent the day riding waves with the crew of professional and experienced watermen with the Surfers Healing nonprofit organization. “My favorite part was just surfing, I want to go again,” Tomaselli said. “It was just so cool and rad.” For Tomaselli it was her fifth time at the Wrightsville Beach Surfers Healing camp and it was the third time for her friend, Hack. “I always wanted to be in the news,” Hack said. “We got some
good waves today … not long waves but long enough.” The expressions on the faces of each child varied with each wave. Some stood quickly, lifting their arms in triumph while others needed a little help from their surf instructors and clung onto the board until the small waves gently crashed onshore. Some were reserved, quietly watching the water flow by, while others could not contain themselves and the stoke was apparent on their faces. However, nearly every time at the end of each wave, both the instructors and their surfing buddies wore broad smiles. Surfers Healing founder and former professional surfer Izzy Paskowitz was on hand, leading the team of surf instructors in the water with the easy, rolling waves that were perfect for beginners. “We couldn’t have made waves
any better than this for what we are doing out here,” Paskowitz said while taking a brief break on the beach. “The beach is packed too because more and more this is becoming an event where not only do the moms and dads come along, but also grandmas and grandpas and extended families.” John Pike, Surfers Healing Wrightsville Beach volunteer and organizer, said he recognized some old faces but loves it when new kids come out to participate. “We have returns but we always want new people to come to be able to experience this event and benefit from it,” Pike said. “We have been lucky to have waves for this event for the past eight years and I thought our luck ran out this morning, but then we said our prayer and this perfect little wave popped up for us today.” A contingent of instructors
from Indo Jax Surf Charities was also on the beach for the event, serving as an auxiliary crew for kids who wanted to surf more. Indo Jax also hosts a free autism surf day for the days following Surfers Healing. As the first organization to provide surf experiences for those living with autism, Paskowitz said he is proud of the role Surfers Healing has played in the surf industry. “We have built the backbone for a lot of these other humanitarian surf charities to do similar stuff,” he said. “At first I was a little worried about other organizations doing similar events after all the blood, sweat and tears we poured into it. Then I realized it is all part of the continuous wave of support and therapy we can provide. I am honored to be that pioneer.” email cole@luminanews.com
Parks and Rec introduces fall youth basketball By Emmy Errante Staff Writer
The Town of Wrightsville Beach Parks and Recreation department will offer a new youth basketball league during fall 2014. Games will be held every Thursday and will consist of two 20-minute halves in a four-versusfour or five-versus-five format. The league will include one age group for children ages 6-9, and another group for ages 10-13. Katie Ryan, parks and recreation program supervisor, said the league would be instructional and focus on teamwork and fundamentals such as shooting, ball handling and passing. “It’s a new league this year, but it’s led by the same basketball instructor who did our summer league,” Ryan said during an Aug. 19 phone interview. Both children and adults may
also sign up for group, private or semi-private tennis lessons. Fitness classes such as Zumba, pilates, power yoga, and tone strengthen and stretch will be offered again in the fall, although the extreme cross training class will now be called core strengthening. “The class will be very similar, but we feel like the extreme cross training name may sound a little intimidating,” Ryan said. “It’s good for any age and the instructor adjusts to the needs of the individual.” In addition to the athletic leagues and classes, the fall program schedule will also include kids’ cooking classes, performance club and an after-school program for Wrightsville Beach School.

Inspiration
in the everyday
By Miriah Hamrick, Staff Writer
W
hat do a traveling Bible salesman and an award-winning architect have in common? More than you might think, said Marlon Blackwell, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA), a practicing architect in Fayetteville, Ark., and department head of the Fay Jones School of Architecture at the University of Arkansas. Blackwell has received national and international acclaim for his innovative designs, but before he found his footing in the world of architecture, he paid his way through college as a traveling Bible salesman. Blackwell said the experience shaped him in powerful ways, showing him the power of positivity and self-reliance and teaching him the principles of selling. Most importantly, the experience gave him an opportunity to understand the place that inspires his work today. “What I really loved about this opportunity was being able to be enmeshed in the rural South, to really experience a world that few people get to experience,” Blackwell said. Blackwell still works from this place, now with a team at Marlon Blackwell Architect, gathering inspiration from the natural and manmade features of the land, sometimes as simple as a leaf eroded by insect bites or the ridged underbelly of a mushroom, to create
stunning buildings that feel both a part of and apart from current architectural trends. Blackwell discussed the influence of place and the insight of everyday experience during an Aug. 14 presentation at Cameron Art Museum. He attributed his success to the connection he has been able to sustain by practicing in one area for so long. “One of the things we’ve been able to do is stay and work in one place for a long time, and when you do that as an architect, you learn to turn over the rock and discover the underbelly of your place, the visceral presence and the expressive character that informs the work and sustains your efforts there,” Blackwell said. But it took time and practice for Blackwell to learn how to channel his impressions into designs that are creative but reasonable, sophisticated but accessible. Tracing the trajectory of his career, Blackwell explained how he struggled to express his ideas in early efforts, hindered by simple categories and neat representations. “I had ideas but I had no language with which to express myself,” Blackwell said. But he continued to work, and he

learned how to draw out his hunches into a body of work. Now his firm accepts challenging projects, delivering awe-inspiring solutions — like when the firm was commissioned to design the Ruth Lilly Visitors Pavilion on the Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park at the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 2010. Given a volatile flood-prone site, Blackwell found a way to incorporate the elements into the building’s design. Inspired by the texture of butterfly wings and leaves porous with insect bites found on-site, Blackwell wanted to design a building that yielded to the environment instead of fighting it. Blackwell said, “I thought, could we make a building that’s porous, that allows light and water to come through it?” An ipe screen allows the building to filter water and sunlight, stretching across a mound of earth providing additional protection from floodwater. A durable envelope of steel wraps the structure, providing stability and structure. The finished building, which earned Indianapolis its first national AIA honor award in 2012, feels like an extension of the land. “It’s a very quiet building. You sort of discover it,” Blackwell said. The firm tackled another challenge in 2011 with a commission to design the gift store in the Crystal Bridges Museum of Modern Art in Bentonville, Ark.
Homework
Blackwell was given a curved concrete space facing west, bathed in heat and glare from the sun and littered with support columns every 10 feet. To block the sun, Blackwell worked with a local fabricator to cost effectively install 285 custom-made cherry ribs near the ceiling of the space. The lamella system, named for its similarity to the underside of a lamella mushroom, filters the sun’s exposure and provides texture complementary to the work of renowned Arkansas basket maker Leon Niehues, the first to find a home in the museum’s store. “It creates a wonderful play of light. The sun moves through it, and it knocks out 40 percent of the western light,” Blackwell said. Blackwell’s solution complements the museum’s spirit while cooperating with the structural constraints of the space. Even better, the total project came with a price tag of only $600,000 and paid for itself within four months. Blackwell spoke in Wilmington at the invitation of AIA Wilmington. Danny Adams, 2014 AIA Wilmington president, said the organization brings in an architect of national renown for presentations every fall to infuse the community with new ideas and fresh perspective. “A lot of times we get so focused on historic Wilmington, or coastal North Carolina, but there are other ways you can look at buildings and interpret that. It’s a good way that we can broaden our outlook,” Adams said. email miriah@luminanews.com

Business News Money Matters Creating trusts and trustees Provided by RBC Wealth Management and Dave Dupont The decision to create a trust is a personal one. But, beyond the potential of creating unmotivated children, a trust can be a smart fiscal choice and a way to ensure the legacy you built during your life continues after your death.
What is a trust?

Reinventing eye surgery By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer
Like the secret headquarters of any comic book superhero, Dr. Alan Brown’s MindSkid Labs is tucked away behind the façade of this local doctor’s Shipyard Boulevard ophthalmic surgery clinic. A walk though the hallways of the clinic, darkened for the light-sensitive optical procedures performed there, reveals Brown’s space to invent new and technologically advanced tools for ophthalmic surgeries. Brown, who attained his first patent for an ophthalmic surgery tool in the early 1990s, began inventing at age 7 when he developed a rudimentary wristband to count his pulse. Now Brown and his team at MindSkid Labs, which includes his wife Debbie, are developing new surgical tools like the RoboMarker and Photon Speculum. The RoboMarker, the first
product successfully developed by MindSkid Labs, is now in use at select optometry clinics after a limited first release. Replacing the old method of marking a patient’s cornea for correcting astigmatisms, the RoboMarker is a sleek, pensized tool that can self-level at any angle of astigmatism with a disposable marker end. MindSkid Labs’ next invention, the Photon Speculum, recently won MindSkid Labs an NCBiotech loan for the completion of its development. During LASIK and other optical surgeries, optometrists numb a patient’s eyelids and hold them open using a metal speculum while shining a light directly into the eye to see during the surgery. With the Photon Speculum, Brown and his team developed a disposable plastic speculum with small Light Emitting Diode lights on its arms that shine sideways into the eye.
“With shining the light on the side we are not cooking the retina with a bright light and the doctor can see things you have never seen as a surgeon because you don’t get the glare you see from a direct light,” Brown said. “Where it is really going to make an impact is on corneal implants and inlays.” The improved side lighting illuminates the eye in a way that allows surgeons to notice small details that previously could have been drowned out by glare. Such small details include the small tissues that can grow in between the layers peeled back during LASIK surgery. “The RoboMarker is really cool and doctors love it but the Photon Speculum is the one that, once they use it, they will never do another surgery without it because it is a game changer,” Brown said. “This is the one that will help doctors perform much safer surgeries.” In addition to the side lighting,

the Photon Speculum is also novel in that it is designed to be disposable after one use, a trend occurring with many medical tools because of concerns about bacteria spreading, Brown said. As an inventor, Brown said Wilmington’s biotech and small business startup atmosphere is rapidly improving with the formation of organizations like the University of North Carolina Wilmington’s Center for Entrepreneurship and the Wilmington Investors Network. “Wilmington has something really cool happening with people like Jim Roberts at the entrepreneurship center, who is doing a great job trying to help startups and he is trying to make Wilmington a research hub,” he said. “There is starting to be a little buzz about Wilmington because people are realizing it’s not just the beach and that, Monday through Friday, we actually do think a little.”

A trust is a legal entity authorized by law. There are two basic categories: Dave Dupont a living or inter vivos trust is created during your lifetime, and a testamentary trust is established after death. The terms of a trust are many and limited only by the imagination. But, some of the most common reasons to establish a trust are to: • Dictate specific terms and conditions for the distribution of your wealth. • Plan ahead and ease the burden for loved ones after your death. • Avoid probate. • Reduce estate taxes that could take a significant bite from your financial legacy. • Allow for easier management of cash needs and assets if you become disabled. • Establish continuity of asset management at death. • Support a philanthropic cause.
The basics
A grantor is the person who establishes and transfers property into the trust. He or she can also be called a settler or donor. A beneficiary is the person or entity who receives the benefits of the trust. A trustee has an important role. This is the person who manages and administers the trust. He or she holds a legal but not a beneficial title to the trust assets and has the power over the disposition of the trust property in accordance with the trust agreement.
Work with a professional
A financial professional can help determine what kind of trust is right for your situation. You may also want to consider a professional trustee if you don’t want to burden a family member with the responsibilities and issues that arise from this role. You worked hard to build your wealth and legacy. A trust and responsible trustee will help to protect both after your death.

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...

Have the spiritual gifts passed away? Week 6 in a multi-part series
My intent has been to successfully lay the scriptural foundation that God’s plan for effective evangelism is and always has been: signs and wonders. God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? (Hebrews 2:4 NKJV) Over the past 2,000 years we have tried every substitute that anyone can imagine: Music, anointed preaching, drama and all manner of entertainment, only to make relative few converts. The outreach in the prison discussed last week is a good example. Before the man with the damaged leg received his miracle, no one was responding to our invitation to follow Christ. After the miracle however, more than 20 men came forward for salvation. Our music was anointed, and the testimonies were sincere but neither of these demonstrated the reality of the risen Savior, only the miracle. Faith to perform and receive signs and wonders comes from hearing about signs and wonders. When the church begins to talk about the importance of signs and wonders in the building up of Christ’s Body, then those signs and wonders will become more commonplace. Also, the more we preach, teach and/or talk about our own experiences with
Buddy Dawson
signs and wonders, the more faith will arise for others. There is no way of knowing where the Church of Jesus Christ would be today, if we had continued to build on His ministry template instead of our own man made doctrines. … teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you (Mathew 28:20 NKJV). Do you still believe that miracles, healings and all of the other spiritual gifts made available to us through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (I Corinthians 12:8-10) are not for today but have passed away? I believe we need the power and spiritual gifts of the Holy Spirit more today than any time in history. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8 NKJV) and … the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable (Romans 11:29 NKJV). And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams (Acts 2:17 NKJV). It is obvious to me that Jesus is going to restore His church back to the original template. Young and old alike will experience the supernatural power of God, as He has saved the best for last. I suggest that we rethink our theology, stop caring what other people think and begin opening our hearts to all that He has for us.

C a rl W a t e r s
(Mat 1:18 NRSV) Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been engaged to Joseph, but before they lived together, she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. (Mat 28:18 NRSV) And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.” (Luke 23:34 NRSV) Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots to divide his clothing. (Luke 23:46 NRSV) Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last. (John 11:25 NRSV) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live,” (John 14:6 NRSV) Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Heb 13:8 NRSV) Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (1 John 3:23 NRSV) And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.

August 21st TRUST IN JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR Matthew 19:16 “And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?” On the surface, it appears that this rich young ruler was “right on” in the way he approached Jesus and sought salvation. He ran, kneeled down to Jesus, and openly professed Him as a Good Master. What could be wrong with that? First, he acknowledged Jesus as good but not as God. This is a pivotal point. Every major religion of the world acknowledges that Jesus lived and will even admit that He definitely was a good man, but they won’t recognize Him as God. If Jesus was only a good man, He couldn’t save anybody. Jesus didn’t just come to show us the way to God. He was the way, the only way unto the Father. No man could come unto the Father, but by Him (Jn. 14:6). Jesus had made this point publicly many times before. This is the reason that Jesus responded to this young man’s question the way He did.
Jesus was saying, “God is the only one who is good. You must accept me as God or not at all.” Jesus was either who He claimed to be or He was the biggest fraud that ever lived. He has to be one or the other. He cannot be both. Second, he asked what he could do to produce salvation. He trusted in himself and believed he could accomplish whatever good work Jesus might request. This is completely opposed to the plan of salvation that Jesus came to bring. Jesus obtained salvation for us through His substitution and He offers it to us as a free gift. All we must do is believe and receive. This rich young ruler wasn’t looking for a Savior. He was trying to be his own savior. This is the reason Jesus referred him back to the commandments. He either needed to keep all of the law perfectly or he needed a Savior. Jesus desired to turn this man from trusting in himself by showing him God’s perfect standard, which no one could keep, so that then he would trust in a Savior.
