Cristobal whips up rips

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

In the mind of Wrightsville Beach resident Michael Brown, his actions on the night of Wednesday, Aug. 20, are undeserving of the heroic title one could assign to him. When he heard someone was lost overboard from a vessel in Banks Channel around 9:30 p.m. that evening, Brown did not hesitate to launch his kayak and begin searching for the woman. The woman in the water was Wylene Booth McDonald, a 57-year-old Wrightsville Beach resident who was with two other women aboard the vessel from which she fell. After realizing Wylene Booth McDonald, 2012 McDonald was no longer onboard, the vessel pulled up to the nearest dock along Waynick Boulevard, which happened to be Brown’s. “I was sitting with my wife watching TV and the dog was out on the porch and he seemed to be stirring around, so my wife went out to see if he needed to be let out. When she did, there was someone running n See rescuer Page A5

After months of debate and deadlock, the N.C. General Assembly pushed a coal ash cleanup bill to Gov. Pat McCrory for approval before adjourning Aug. 20. Championed by lawmakers as the first of its kind in the country, the bill requires immediate cleanup of highpriority ponds at four Duke Energy sites, with strategies to address the remaining 10 sites to be determined by a nine-member coal ash commission and enacted by 2029. Drew Elliot, N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) communications director, echoed praise for the bill as pioneering a solution for coal ash management. “It’s a giant step forward in terms of coal ash regulation. It puts North Carolina at the forefront of attacking this longstanding problem,” Elliott said during an Aug. 26 phone interview. Kemp Burdette, Cape Fear riverkeeper, questioned praise for the bill. “It is the tiniest of baby steps in the right direction, but it is nowhere near the bill that they describe it as, which is some big cleanup bill. It is n See Coal ash Page A5

Wrightsville Beach Fire Chief Frank Smith, left, walks with a fire marshal alongside the house at 108 Water St. house that caught fire in Wrightsville Beach around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27.

Patrolling Wrightsville Beach Police officers were the first to report the house fire at 108 Water St. around 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27, after smelling smoke from the flames. On the scene of the fire around 7:30 a.m., Wrightsville Beach Fire Chief Frank Smith said the fire damaged the northwest exterior of the bottom floor and the L-shaped enclosed garage, but there was only smoke damage to the second- and third-floor living areas. Firefighters battled the blazes from the time they arrived on scene until around 6:30 a.m. when the all-clear notice was given. No firefighters were injured during the incident. A neighbor from nearby

Corbett Street was walking around 7:30 a.m. and said he woke when the fire started by what sounded like a rumbling whoosh. Smith said the sound was likely the propane tank on the side of the home venting out and feeding the fire. The tank was not the cause of the fire, however, Smith said. Smith said he could not estimate the monetary damage to the house at the time, but was working with city and county fire marshals to determine the cause and damage. The house is a second home for Raleigh residents Francis and Rebecca Colanna, and no one was at the house during the fire. Smith said the homeowners were notified and were en route to assess the damage. n See fire Page A5

Limited jurisdiction in Masons Inlet not an issue By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

For local boater Chris Camp, the decision to drop anchor in Masons Inlet is simple enough. It is the quickest trip from the public boat ramp without traveling through a no-wake zone. Until recently, he could bring his dogs. Most important, the older, calmer crowds provide a more relaxing trip. “I think people are realizing it’s another nice place to visit that’s not that far away,” Camp said during an Aug. 25 phone interview. Camp is one of many who anchor more and more frequently on the beaches and sand spits of Masons Inlet. Wrightsville Beach Park Ranger Shannon Slocum confirmed growing interest in the inlet. Slocum keeps an eye on the area, stopping by at least once on normal days, but because the shore north of Shell Island Resort is outside town limits, he has limited authority to the enforce rules as he does on other stretches of Wrightsville Beach. An interlocal agreement approved by the Board of Aldermen July 10 grants the town authority to enforce the dog ordinance in the area, n See inlet Page A5

Potential offshore wind lease blocks outlined By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Three tracts of federal ocean waters totaling approximately 300,000 acres off of the coast of North Carolina are one step closer to becoming the state’s first offshore wind farms. The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management announced Aug. 11 outlines of the three areas: one 24 nautical miles offshore from Kitty Hawk and two around 10 nautical miles offshore from the mouth of the Cape Fear River. The Kitty Hawk Wind Energy Area totals 122,405 acres, the Wilmington West Wind Energy area totals 51,595 acres and the Wilmington East Wind Energy Area totals 133,590 acres. Following the designation of the areas, bureau spokesperson Tracy Moriarty said the next step would be the environment assessment of the three tracts, which is expected to take a year. “We do that review as required by [the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] and there are all sorts of things considered

from environmental to socioeconomic impacts,” Moriarty said during a Tuesday, Aug. 26 phone interview. “At that point, if we decide to go forward with the wind energy sale notice, we can then solicit additional companies.” A total of five utility companies expressed interest in the lease of the tracts when the initial call for interested companies was released. Those companies included Outer Banks Ocean Energy, LLC; Green Sail Energy, LLC; Fisherman’s Energy, LLC; EDF Renewable Development Inc.; and Virginia Electric and Power Company. While the federal environmental study is ongoing, Brian O’Hara, Southeastern Coastal Wind Coalition president, said his nonprofit informational organization would continue to work on expanding the Kitty Hawk tract, which was cut significantly due to shipping concerns from the U.S. Coast Guard and visibility concerns from the U.S. National Parks Service. “We think there is an

opportunity to add some area back into that based on what they selected as a visual buffer from the Bodie Island Lighthouse as requested by the national parks service,” O’Hara said during a Tuesday, Aug. 26 phone interview. “I think we will find a 34-mile buffer is unnecessarily large.” One obstacle offshore wind energy faces in North Carolina is the lack of an established market for the product, which O’Hara said his organization will also continue to work to develop by hopefully answering some of the questions that still remain. “There have been a lot of studies done over the past several years but there are some questions you have a hard time answering until you actually do it,” he said. “One of the ways to do that is to do a smaller scale demonstration project and that is something we are exploring with various stakeholders.” A small-scale test site could help in demonstrating exactly how and what offshore wind energy would look like in North Carolina. Such a pilot

The U.S. Department of the Interior and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management identified the areas off of the coast of North Carolina that could soon be leased to offshore wind energy companies following an environmental assessment of those areas.

project could involve a combined regional effort between the southeastern states identified for wind energy possibilities like South Carolina

and Georgia, O’Hara said. “Since we haven’t done offshore wind yet, there are a lot of questions and we need to figure out how to answer those

questions to see if this can be a large scale, viable electricity resource for us in the future,” he said. email cole@luminanews.com

Slow sea turtle nesting season statewide By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

With only one loggerhead sea turtle nest laid on Wrightsville Beach during the 2014 nesting season, Wrightsville Beach Sea Turtle Project coordinator Nancy Fahey is already looking forward to 2015. “The ladies took a year off, and that’s fine,” Fahey said during an Aug. 25 phone interview. “Nesting is very hard work. But I think they’re going to come back with renewed energy.” Wrightsville Beach was home to one of the first loggerhead nests in the state, laid May 30.

Although the lone nest was deposited amidst equipment for a beach renourishment project, Fahey wondered if the delayed project, which extended well into the season through mid-June, deterred females from nesting. Fahey said shifting sand bars near shore in the months following renourishment could be off-putting to nesting females. Matthew Godfrey, sea turtle biologist with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, said the 2014 nesting season has produced below-average yields compared to the the last 12 or 15 years. He attributed decreased activity

across the state to a natural cycle of booms and busts. The 2013 season was the biggest on record with 1,303 nests in North Carolina. Wrightsville Beach hosted eight nests in 2013, compared to neighboring Masonboro Island’s 29. As of Aug. 26, the 2014 season produced 541 nests on North Carolina beaches. With 10 confirmed nests this season, Masonboro Island also saw a dip in nesting activity. Slow does not mean uninteresting, Hope Sutton said. Sutton, southern sites manager for the N.C.

Estuarine Research Reserve, reported an unusually high proportion of green sea turtles nesting on Masonboro in 2014. “This is the first time that we have on record since we’ve been monitoring that it’s half greens and half loggerheads. That’s really uncommon in the state, to have such a high percentage on any one island that are greens,” Sutton said during an Aug. 25 phone interview. More green turtles means 10 possible nests discovered on the island could sprout surprise hatchlings. Sutton said green turtles dig decoy nests to keep eggs safe from predators. “It’s thought to be a predator avoidance strategy. They’ll dig and lay their nest, but then they’ll dig false body pits. It’s much more challenging to figure out where the eggs actually are with green sea turtles,” Sutton said. Excavation of at least one of three loggerhead nests on the northern end of Masonboro Island, where it is easiest to anchor a boat regardless of the tides, will be open to the public. Two of the three nests were laid by a three-flippered turtle that climbed ashore five times, once every two weeks for more than two months. Her first nest, laid June 18, is close to hatching. Sutton said an announcement of the public excavation will be posted on the Masonboro Island Reserve Facebook page. Nesting season continues through Aug. 31.

The Wrightsville Beach Police Department (WBPD) is investigating an Aug. 25 armed robbery of an Oceanic Restaurant employee. The suspect is still at large. WBPD Chief Dan House said David Honeycutt, a recent Oceanic hire, stopped by his car in the public parking lot across the street after taking out the trash around 9 p.m. Honeycutt heard rustling in the bushes, and when he emerged from his car with a cigarette in hand, a man whose face was hidden beneath a hat and tightly drawn hooded sweatshirt appeared. The police report states the man brandished a “revolver-type gun” and whispered instructions

to Honeycutt to turn over his money. Honeycutt handed the man his wallet. The man removed $240 in cash and threw the wallet to the ground before running off. Honeycutt did not have a cell phone. By the time he got in his car and drove to Oceanic to call the police, approximately five minutes had lapsed. House said WPBD received the call at 9:15 p.m. and responded immediately, requesting K-9 units from the Wilmington Police Department to sniff out a trail. “It was a lot of pavement and people had gone through there, so they just weren’t able to pick up a track. So we didn’t catch the guy. We have no clue where he is. The only thing we have is a description,” House said. The suspect is wanted on felony

charges. The suspect is described as a mustached black male, approximately 5 feet 10 inches in height and 175 pounds. He wore a black Ecko Unltd. sweatshirt with the compay’s rhinoceros logo on the front with black jeans and black boots. House said the department is tracking down a few leads but anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact Sgt. Blanton at the Wrightsville Beach Police Department by calling 910-256-7945. Additionally, House said the department plans to request security cameras in that area at an upcoming board of aldermen meeting. He cited a July 31 incident in which the public restrooms adjacent to the lot were vandalized. email miriah@luminanews.com

Joint meeting sets priorities from Garner Report

Weekend Police Report Aug. 22

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Six of the 21 economic development recommendations outlined in the New Hanover County-funded Garner Report made the short list of items needing immediate attention during the joint meeting between Wilmington City Council and New Hanover County Board of Commissioners. The meeting, held Tuesday, Aug. 26, at the New Hanover County Executive Development Center, was facilitated by Dr. Thomas Porter, University of North Carolina Wilmington marketing department chair, and Jim Roberts, UNCW Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship director. The first two hours of Tuesday’s four-hour meeting were reserved for narrowing the list of 21 economic development recommendations. When asked to vote which recommendations had the highest barriers, elected officials from the two boards chose creating a three-county micromarketing alliance, creating and refining an incentive policy and process, identifying sustainable funding for education, rebuilding the unincorporated areas of New Hanover County, providing free high-speed internet access across the county and advocating for the continuation of film incentives. When asked which of the recommendations were the easiest to attain, the elected officials chose creating a three-county micromarketing alliance, creating and refining an incentive policy and process, advocating for the continuation of film incentives, providing better support for small and local businesses and cultivating a talent pipeline to the region. From those two lists it was determined six recommendations required immediate attention: Creating the three-county marketing alliance, advocating for and developing a realistic and sustainable incentive policy, supporting

Elected officials from the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Wilmington City Council place sticky notes on economic development recommendations from the Garner Report.

small businesses, making the case for sustainable sources to improve the county’s economic development infrastructure, rebuilding New Hanover County and advocating for continuation of state incentives for film. Advocating for the continuation of state film incentives was one of the few items not assigned directly to either county or city staff as the Wilmington Regional Film Commission was named as the organization that should lead that charge. “If you haven’t talked to [commission director] Johnnie Griffin in the past 30 days you should give him a call and let him fill you in on the dire situation,” said Woody White, New Hanover County Commission Chairman. “Families employed in the industry are packing their bags … and for whatever reason that message has not been effectively communicated.” In addition to charging the regional film commission with enlisting the help of stakeholders in

the film industry to make the case for film incentives, White and the elected officials gathered will sign a letter to Gov. Pat McCrory asking him to call for the N.C. General Assembly to reconvene to revisit the state incentive program. Another recommendation that received a large portion of the discussion time was making the case for funding sources to improve the region’s economic development infrastructure and identifying programs to use those monies effectively. County commissioner Jonathan Barfield said it would require investing the money in infrastructure improvements upfront to attract new industry and businesses versus proposing improvements after businesses show interest in the region. “I know taxpayers may gawk at it for a while but they won’t when they see the developments come and their tax bills go down,” Barfield said. Wilmington Mayor Pro Tem Margaret Haynes said the county

should take the lead on the initiative but also doubted county commission’s commitment to funding the improvements. “Philosophically there is a problem because the county has historically not raised taxes and would not have the heart to do so,” Haynes said. Ultimately that issue was delegated to county staff. At the conclusion of the meeting, Wilmington Mayor Bill Saffo suggested another joint meeting after county manager Chris Coudriet and city manager Sterling Cheatham had time to develop plans for the two recommendations each entity was charged with. The rest of the elected officials agreed and White called the first joint meeting a success. “I think we accomplished a lot; not that we always agree but I think we virtually agreed on everything here,” he said. “The more times they can meet and discuss things like this together, the better.” email cole@luminanews.com

Call for collaboration to end SUP showdown By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

The N.C. Coastal Federation announced plans to foster cooperation as county and city officials move forward with advice on economic development outlined in a report prepared by Atlantabased consulting firm Garner Economics. Mike Giles, federation coastal advocate, said he supported recruiting industries recommended in the report, which included life and marine science research and development, highvalue office operations, precision manufacturing and aircraft assembly and maintenance. The report also recommends

eliminating or modifying the county’s special use permit (SUP), pegging it as a deterrent for businesses interested in relocating here. Giles said the federation wants to move beyond the proposed change disagreements and work together to reshape the SUP. “We’re reaching out our hands,” Giles said during an Aug. 22 phone interview. The county and everybody involved in this SUP process has gotten worn down by the two-sided discussion. It doesn’t have to be that way.” Giles said the announcement intentionally coincided with an Aug. 26 joint meeting on Garner report implementation held by the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners and Wilmington

City Council (see related story). Kemp Burdette, Cape Fear riverkeeper, said many of the recommendations in the Garner report are sound, but insisted the SUP is needed to guide development. Burdette heads Cape Fear River Watch, a partner in the federation’s effort. “Where that report has major flaws is when it recommends eliminating the SUP when all the evidence that the report contains within it indicates the exact opposite,” Burdette said during an Aug. 21 phone interview. “I think that was a politically driven decision. The SUP helps bring businesses here that are going to protect our natural resources, that are going to provide good jobs in

Speed bump returns

the community.” Giles said elimination of the SUP could also cost the area billions of dollars each year if natural resources like beaches were polluted by intensive industry. “We don’t want to ruin that golden egg,” Giles said. A two-tiered SUP was offered as an alternative, allowing nonintensive industries to easily set up shop while retaining rigorous review of industries with potential to harm citizen health or natural resources. Giles stressed the federation did not plan to direct the discussion, only offer suggestions and encourage other leaders to do the same. “What we’re doing is providing the vehicle to do this and the idea. We’re not going to run the show,” Giles said. The federation reached out to county commissioners, the county planning board and planning staff plus local business leaders to join the discussion. A $25,000 grant from the Lillian Goldman Charitable Trust will fund the effort. Giles said he hopes cooperation will combat the assumption that the federation is opposed to economic growth. “Some people erroneously tag the coastal federation as environmental extremists and we’re not. We’re excited about this. We want to see those industries come here because we want to see our economy grow,” Giles said. The SUP is only required for projects in the I-1 light industrial district and the I-2 heavy industrial district. It was added to the county zoning ordinance in 2011 as a tool to guide growth and development. email miriah@luminanews.com

BEACH BLOTTER Breaking down gates Between the evening of Aug. 18 and morning of Aug. 19 there were multiple instances of unknown individuals tearing down gates and tipping trashcans on Waynick Boulevard and South Lumina Avenue. Wrightsville Beach Police responded to one instance at 510 South Lumina Avenue around 9:30 a.m. Aug. 19, where a gate valued at $250 was kicked off its hinges. The night before, the Hanover Seaside Club reported someone had pulled up parking signs at the club with estimated damage of $300.

Caught in the act Wrightsville Beach Police addressed 24-year-old Kirby Frennea, who was walking up Parmalee Boulevard around 10 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19, after noticing he appeared impaired. Frennea said he parked his car on Salisbury Street near the Salisbury Street Bridge. After the officer left to verify Frennea’s story, he parked across the street from the automobile and watched Frennea get in the car and drive away. The officer followed Frennea and stopped the car on suspicion of driving while impaired. The officer then noticed a pill bottle on the floorboard of the vehicle and it was later determined he was impaired by an unspecified drug.

Hazy situation A 22-year-old white female and her friends were eating at Jerry Allen’s Sports Bar and Grill Saturday, Aug. 23, when the group allegedly met a couple of men who identified themselves as Marines. The women went to the bathroom, leaving their drinks on the table, and the victim said the next thing she remembered was being on the beach strand and running away from one of the men. She ran into someone she knew on the beach strand, left in a cab and reported the incident around 3:20 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 24. The suspect is unknown at this time but Wrightsville Beach Police is investigating the incident.

Editorial/Opinion My thoughts B y P a t B ra d f o r d

This Labor Day weekend, tens of thousands will take to their boats to enjoy their holiday on the water. Recreational boaters will anchor up, raft up, tie up anywhere there is pretty water and sand and get overboard to play. Making use of the abundant water this county is surrounded by, besides recreational fishing, and the pure enjoyment of riding in a moving boat, boaters traditionally congregate to socialize in large numbers around the sand spits that accrete at the mouth of New Hanover County’s three ocean inlets from north to south: Masons, Masonboro and Carolina Beach inlets. Surprisingly, no figure exists as to the revenue generated by recreational boating in New Hanover County, but it is a significant number. Keeping these inlets from shoaling closed by recurring dredging is essential. The move of Masons Inlet to its present location was completed in March 2002. To keep the wantonly migrating inlet in its designated channel, location maintenance dredging of Masons Inlet is mandated, with the cost paid by a select group of Figure Eight residents and north-enders on Wrightsville Beach through periodic assessments. This group of 1,044 property owners banded together for one voice as the Mason Inlet Preservation Group (MIPG). It is noteworthy that as a property owner on the north end of Wrightsville island, the town itself (aka tax payers) also pays assessments for the inlet location maintenance. $156,000 has been paid by the town over a 10 year period. As a shallow draft inlet, Carolina Beach Inlet hasn’t had budgeted presidential funding since 2005; a scramble has ensued ever since over funds to keep this recreational inlet open. In the meantime, dredging was funded through a variety of hodgepodge measures including contributions from state and the local municipalities, including Wrightsville. In what looked like a brilliant move at the time, during the 2014 short legislative session, Rep. Ted Davis Jr. introduced a bill to appropriate funding from a pot of county money sitting idle for navigation maintenance dredging at Carolina Beach Inlet. Passed into law in late July, the measure targets a portion of the room occupancy tax collected from short-term rentals, sometimes called vacation rentals, in the unincorporated areas of the county. For this purpose, known as District U, the unincorporated areas of the county include Figure Eight Island, Porters Neck, Wrightsville’s uninhabited extreme north end and the Monkey Junction area. Room occupancy tax collected on any short-term rentals of hotels, motels and homes in these areas (mostly Figure Eight Island) has been accumulating over the past decade. This attractive pot of money holds approximately $1.2 million. The logical choice to administer these funds for inlet dredging would have been the Wilmington-New Hanover Port, Waterway and Beach Commission. In 1974, the New Hanover County Commissioners created the Port, Waterway and Beach Commission and assigned it the responsibility of studying and preparing recommendations for the best use of the

Room Occupancy Tax Funds to be presented to them for approval. The Wilmington-New Hanover Port, Waterway and Beach Commission’s purpose was as stated: “To investigate, initiate, and support general water resource development projects that will serve industry; encourage tourism; commercial/ charter fishing; recreational boating and mitigate the threats of storms and flooding.” Still, the port waterway group was bypassed in Davis’ legislation, which grants the county the ability to release funds from this pot of collections from the U District to the New Hanover County Tourism Development Authority (TDA) and allowed the TDA approval in the distribution of the funds. Davis’ legislation catapulted the TDA into the decision over how to spend $1.2 million on dredging and how future collections will be spent on dredging. An agreement has not yet been reached as to this distribution, but the proposal before the TDA from Lisa Wurtzbacher, the county finance director heard late Wednesday, Guidelines for Distribution of District U 2nd 3 percent Room Occupancy Tax (ROT), was to divvy the pot of money with an unequal split of the collections between two of the three inlets with Carolina Beach receiving the lion’s share, 75 percent, even though none of the ROT collected in this pot of gold actually comes from Carolina Beach ROT collections. The first draft had all the funds going to CBeach, but in an apparent attempt to placate the MIPG, the new plan allocated 25 percent to Masons inlet, but included an odd caveat that WB had to pony up a $12,500 match for remaining project costs after annual distribution of District U ROT. The fastest growing areas of the county are the unincorporated areas, especially the northern part. It has been loosely estimated that as much as 90 percent of collections in the U District come from rentals on Figure Eight Island. This figure is estimated because representatives from the MIPG and Wrightsville Mayor Bill Blair said requests to the county for documentation on District U collections had been refused. Three inlets, one pot of money distributed in a 75-25 percent split, Masonbro Inlet receiving zero doesn’t seem equitable. Blair said on Wednesday it is time to put the brakes on this push to action until all the facts can be examined and a more equitable distribution is proposed. Everyone wants to see the Carolina Beach Inlet remain open. But this plan has the allocation for that inlet to be dredged every year coming from the room tax collections from outside Carolina Beach. Masonboro Inlet, by far the busiest of the three inlets, has zero provision in this plan being pushed. What is to prevent Masonboro Inlet from losing federal funding like Carolina Beach? Ted Davis’ legislation was rushed through the chaotic legislative short session without enough time to carefully plan for the future of all three inlets. Let’s hope wiser heads prevail and this initiative is slowed down to do it right — to do it equitably for all.

which is under the county’s jurisdiction. Slocum said that effort is going well. “We educate people up in that area, explain it’s a $250 ticket and they don’t want any part of that. So for the most part, they put their dogs back on the boat or they find another place to go,” Slocum said. Beyond that exception, the town cannot issue tickets on the northernmost tip of the island. Wrightsville Beach Town Manager Tim Owens said he expects that situation to stay the same unless the county initiates a change. “It’s not in our jurisdiction, so technically, unless we have another interlocal agreement, there are only a few things we can respond to. If it becomes

totally inadequate,” Burdette said during an Aug. 21 phone interview. While the coal ash ponds at the Sutton plant in Wilmington will be cleaned up, Burdette noted the Cape Fear plant, upriver from New Hanover County’s drinking water intake, is one of the 10 sites left for later discussion. Frank Holleman, a Southern Environmental Law Center senior attorney who is pursuing civil charges against Duke for violating state and federal Clean Water Acts, said the legislation requires nothing Duke has not pledged to do. “This is a pro-Duke bill. It’s not a cleanup bill,” Holleman said during an Aug. 22 phone interview. “The four sites they require to clean up are the four sites Duke already promised to clean up. The only requirements they have in this bill are things Duke has said it will do anyway, or that they expect the [Environmental Protection Agency] to require in the future.” Both Holleman and Burdette said a sufficient mandate would require ash at all 14 sites to be moved from waterways and stored dry in lined landfills. Elliott said DENR officials hoped for a law allowing individualized cleanup plans at each site instead of a one-size-fits-all approach. He said all ash could be moved to dry, lined storage if that is determined the best approach. “That may be where we end up for all of them. That is where we’re going to start for four of them ... but we need to actually

an issue with the county as far as bottles go or drinking, if the county wanted to approach us and create an ordinance, we would address it at that time,” Owens said during an Aug. 26 phone interview. Slocum said the growing crowds at Masons Inlet do not cause any trouble. He said many of the people there are families looking for a safe, quiet place to drop anchor. “We don’t get the problems that we would have at Masonboro Island and places like that. If you’re going to go up there by walking, you have to hoof it. It’s going to take a little walk. If you’re boating it, you probably heard about it through the rumor mill from your local PTA as the place to bring your kids,” Slocum said. David Kellam, Figure Eight Island Homeowners’ Association

administrator, agreed that the surge of interest in the inlet has not posed problems on the Figure Eight side. “They’ve been a good, wellbehaved crowd on typical weekends. For the most part, we’ve seen that they pick up the trash behind themselves and we’ve had very minimal incident,” Kellam said during an Aug. 25 phone interview. Kellam reported some issues during summer holidays like Memorial Day and July Fourth in the last year or two. For those events, he brings in assistance from the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office. Kellam said he is glad New Hanover County residents are able to enjoy Masons Inlet following the March 2002 inlet relocation project, which made the inlet navigable and provided the spit of sand on the northern

end of Wrightsville Beach. He attributes the isolated problems to younger groups seeking a reprieve from law enforcement present on Masonboro Island during busy weekends. Owens noted population growth in the county since 2002 as another explanation. “We have a lot more people here than 10 years ago and we have a lot more boating traffic than 10 years ago. That’s part of it as well,” Owens said. Camp, an Atlantic Marine sales representative, said the recent economic recovery boosts boat sales and use. “As the economy is continuing to rebound, more people are getting back into the boating industry. They’re buying boats and they’re able to be out more,” Camp said.

make sure that is the best thing for the environment and public health,” Elliott said. Duke spokesperson Jeff Brooks acknowledged an overlap in the legislation and the utility’s existing cleanup plan but said it does add some hurdles to the plan. “We identified plants we would prioritize and remove coal ash from as part of our plan. The legislation formalizes some of that and gives some timelines and other parameters around which we’ll have to work. ... The timelines in this bill are very aggressive and the provisions

are complex, so they’re going to set significant challenges for us as we seek to meet the requirements of the legislation,” Brooks said during an Aug. 22 phone interview. The legislation allows public comment on cleanup strategies for the remaining 10 sites, which Holleman said could push DENR to go above the law’s base requirement of capping ash in place. “At each of these sites, the public will have a chance to pressure DENR to do the right thing. ... It could be, with enough public pressure, they’ll feel the heat and

take stronger action to protect the sites,” Holleman said. Elliot also acknowledged the possibility of public demand influencing final cleanup plans. “If we need a stricter remediation regime, then that’s what we’ll do,” Elliot said. DENR issued a notice of violation Aug. 26 to Duke for contamination of groundwater around the Sutton plant. The contamination is believed to be caused by leaking coal ash ponds. A fee or other penalty will likely follow the notice.

up our pier,” Brown said. “They said, ‘Call 911, we have lost somebody overboard.’” Brown’s kayak was located near the waters of Banks Channel and he launched with only a 3-inch flashlight and knowledge of the outgoing tide’s flow to aid his search. “I just started paddling with the tide past the pier line and I would paddle a few strokes and then flash the light left and right,” he said. “I was about five docks south of mine when I thought I heard a noise, and then in another couple of minutes I heard the same noise. So I paddled around a pier and between the floating dock, and by the first boat moored there, I saw the lady.” Brown recalled there was no wind that night, which helped him hear the noise he can only guess was a groan from McDonald. If he had not heard the noise, Brown said it would have been very unlikely that he would have found her in the darkness. “She looked like she was facedown in the water, so I took her by the collar and pulled her up beside me on the kayak and realized she was unconscious,” Brown said. “I bailed out of the kayak and swam her to shore right there and ran up to the road about one block south of where I live.”

By that time, about five minutes after Brown set off in his kayak, emergency crews were on scene and began administering CPR. “I retrieved her from the water and they saved her life,” Brown said humbly. N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission investigating officer Clayton Ludwick said Linda Jenkins, who was driving the vessel at the time McDonald fell overboard, was charged with boating while impaired. Ludwick said he has not yet been able to determine where McDonald was on the boat at the time she fell in, but he does know Brown did save her life. “There is no doubt in my mind he saved her life,” Ludwick said during a Friday, Aug. 22 phone interview. McDonald was rushed to New Hanover Regional Medical Center by New Hanover County EMS Wednesday evening and remained in the Intensive Care Unit until she was released from the hospital Saturday, Aug. 23. With McDonald back home recuperating, Brown hopes the two will have the chance to meet someday. “From everything I have heard, she is back home and recuperating, so that is great,” he said. “I don’t really want to sensationalize it or anything because I know this was traumatic for her and I was just doing what I could do.” email cole@luminanews.com

Market vendors depend on loyal customers during rainy season By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

Ronnie Edens of Edens Produce set out his colorful baskets for the last time this summer Monday, Aug. 25. Customers soon gathered around his cart, filling bags with softball-sized peaches and tomatoes. “We’re kind of known for our tomatoes,” Edens said. “We have 160 acres and we bring the very best down here.” Many customers came to Wrightsville Beach Park for the final day of the Wrightsville Beach Farmers’ Market, despite the gray, damp weather. Edens and the other vendors were thankful the rain at least held off. “It’s been a wet season,” he said. “You think about the average Mondays that it rained down here. This is about the first one in the last four that it hasn’t rained.”

Many of the vendors agreed the rainy weather hurt business slightly over the course of the 2014 market season. Vickie Davis from Davis Seafood said the first few weeks of the season in particular were very slow. “The only thing I can think is our children went to school a few extra days of the school year, because of the cold winter,” she said. “So maybe the students up north possibly were delayed in coming down [so we had fewer] tourists and visitors, for example.” George Hanchey from Hanchey’s Produce in Wallace, N.C., was disappointed in the slower season, saying he wished more people were aware of the difference between produce bought at a grocery store and produce sold at a farmers’ market. “It’s fresh,” he said. “The taste will tell you the difference.

Picked one day, sold the next.” Edens said there are quite a few people who notice the difference, and these loyal customers visit the farmers’ market every week to buy their produce, desserts, jewelry, sea salt and other goods. Several people paid for their produce and immediately bit into the juicy peaches, grapes or tomatoes, which were still warm from the sun. Davis said although the farmers’ market does get business from the tourists, the vendors really depend on the local customers who visit every Monday, rain or shine, during the summer months. “I have a lot of the same repeat customers every single week,” she said, “and I would like to give them all a big hug. … We couldn’t do it without them for sure. We couldn’t survive without the support of the locals.” email emmy@luminanews.com

The homeless and hungry men and women served by the Good Shepherd Center in Wilmington will be the beneficiary of two days worth of sailing charters during the Wrightsville Performance Sailing benefit weekend, Sept. 6-7. Dustin Frye, an alumnus of the University of North Carolina Wilmington and veteran sailing instructor, founded Wrightsville Performance Sailing in May 2014 with his 26-foot J/80 sailboat. Now, Frye is hoping to leverage funds for the Good Shepherd Center through one- and twohour sails around Wrightsville Beach. “I have known about [Good Shepherd Center] for quite a few years, donated to them in the past and it is the kind of organization I identified I want to work with,” Frye said. “This is a trial run to see if it is popular at all and the center was stoked to have the support.” Saturday’s trips will be limited to seven one-hour fast cruises throughout Banks Channel at $30 per person with room for five onboard. A total of 50 percent of the proceeds from the day will

be donated to Good Shepherd Center. Sunday passengers can choose to sail for one or two hours, with 25 percent of the day’s proceeds benefitting Good Shepherd Center. Frye said he hopes the special one-hour sail rate will encourage more people to take part and donate to Good Shepherd Center. “I tried to do something that was

competitively priced for anyone so it could generate more interest,” he said. “Especially with it being a benefit, a lot of people are more apt to do something when it impacts the community.” Reservations are on a firstcome, first-served basis, and spaces are limited, Frye said.

Spikeball

taff W ante, S

t r o p s

Matt Stevens, Carson Edwards, Evan Fersinger and Cade Edwards stood in the Wrightsville Beach sand, forming a loose circle around what resembled a round, netted trampoline. Stevens held an inflatable grapefruit-sized ball. Tossing the ball up with one hand, he smacked it onto the trampoline with the other. The ball rocketed toward Cade Edwards then to Fersinger, who smacked it back into the net. The furious play continued, with Carson Edwards passing the ball to his teammate Stevens, who dinked a tricky shot toward the net, causing his opponents to dive to keep the ball from hitting the ground. The game, known as spikeball, resembles a cross between volleyball and foursquare, and in recent years its popularity has spread to beaches and backyards across the nation. The spikeball craze is likely due to its simple rules and equipment that can be easily folded up and taken anywhere. “It’s really fun, too, and it’s active,” Cade Edwards said after the game. “It’s a new and cool game.” The game is usually played two-on-two. Once the ball is served, the opposing team has three touches to spike it back off the net. “That’s what you have to do, you have to have strategy,” Carson Edwards explained. Edwards said one strategy involved hitting the ball so it caught in the slack part of the net near the rim of the trampoline, making the ball ricochet off in an unpredictable direction. “That’s mostly luck, actually,” Edwards admitted. “I usually just slam it into the net.”

Beach Soccer At its most basic, beach soccer requires two players and a rolling object to kick around. Matt Zeko and his son Wyatt Zeko demonstrated this version of beach soccer Sunday, Aug. 24. In this incarnation of the game, goals were scored by kicking the ball into a rectangle drawn in the sand. Wyatt Zeko played goalkeeper first, defending the rectangle while his father tried to score. “He usually shuts me down, like 100 goals to one,” Matt Zeko said with a laugh. There is really no limit to the number of players who can participate in a beach soccer match, as long as the teams are even. Friday, Aug. 22 at Wrightsville Beach, Matt Stevens and his friends decided to get a game started. They grabbed a soccer ball and two teams quickly formed. Someone volunteered a shirt and a pair of sandals to create a makeshift goal. The friends set up their game not far from the water’s edge. The harder sand made it easier to run and pass the ball, Stevens explained. “The harder the sand, the better, and as many people can play as you want, as long as the teams are even,” he said after the game. Stevens added that it was an easy game to play on the beach because the only piece of equipment required was a soccer ball. “And it’s fun because you can just go barefoot,” Stevens’ teammate Luke Kelly added.

Beach Volleyball A large group of University of North Carolina Wilmington students milled around a volleyball net set up near Crystal Pier. They formed two teams of six, with leftover students gathering around the perimeter of the makeshift court to watch. One of the players served the ball and the other team volleyed it straight up in the air. Jeff Peart jumped up and spiked it down over the net, earning his team a point. After rotating through the six different positions on the court, Peart subbed himself out to give another student the chance to play. “There aren’t a whole lot of rules,” Peart said, watching his team play. Peart added the simplicity of the game and the fact that so many people could participate made it a great way to meet new people. “All these guys are freshmen on my [dormitory] floor,” he said. “We don’t really know these guys, but now we do.” email emmy@luminanews.com

Three generations at WBS By Miriah Hamrick Staff Writer

The first day of school is a milestone for the family of every incoming kindergartener, but Aug. 26 was especially meaningful for one family ushering in the third generation of attendance at Wrightsville Beach School. Brett Blizzard, who attended WBS from 1957 to 1962, said he is excited for his grandson, Deaglan Alexander, to attend the same school. “Wrightsville Beach School

has always been a dear part of my childhood memories and I hope it can do the same for my grandchildren,” Blizzard said. It was a different time when Blizzard was there, a time when a game of marbles was the preferred activity at recess and the stoplights on the island stopped blinking during quiet winter months. He said the sense of a small-town community lives on at Wrightsville Beach School as the island changes and grows. His daughter, Katie Alexander, grew up on the island and

attended Wrightsville Beach School during the 1980s. She said she always hoped her children would be able to experience a family away from home at the school. “I had a dream as soon as I even considered having kids of my own that they would go there, and it has just worked out that way. In fact, every time one of my old teachers would leave, I would get this little ache in my heart,” Alexander said.

Duplin County, Alexander said the atmosphere of support at Wrightsville Beach School is rare. “Wrightsville Beach School is very family oriented. It’s loving and warm, and I wanted him to experience that. Everybody’s very close. Everybody knows each other,” Alexander said. Principal MaryPaul Beall said the school is able to provide that atmosphere with support from parents and the larger Wrightsville Beach community.

Brett Blizzard was a student in Theo Carnes’ first-grade class at Wrightsville Beach School in 1957.

“All of the families that are here do look at the school as having a lot of community support, not only from the families in the school but also from the Wrightsville Beach community,” Beall said. Teachers are also key players in preserving the school’s unique character. Beall said new additions to the staff are selected based on appreciation of the school’s legacy as well as dedication to children and education. “We select teachers based on

what is going to be a good fit for the school, and you want teachers that can come in and understand the culture of Wrightsville Beach,” Beall said. Beall pointed to the school’s growth as an indication of its success. “The school’s designed for 180 students and we have over 350. You can tell that people want to come to Wrightsville Beach,” Beall said. email miriah@luminanews.com

As the sun set and a salty sea breeze cooled the evening air, the band launched into another set of beach music while couples spun on the outdoor dance floor. Lumina Daze, a fundraiser for the Wrightsville Beach Museum, recreates scenes such as these that recall a legendary time in Wrightsville Beach’s history, when every summer night was spent dancing under the stars at Lumina Pavilion. There are few who really remember that 1930s and ’40s era. Lumina Daze has become a yearly reunion of sorts for those who do remember, and the 2014 event, held Sunday, Aug. 24 at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort, was no different. This year’s event brought together Chip Jordan, Scott McKinnon and Tim Chappel, three friends who grew up in Wrightsville Beach and worked at Upper Deck during the 1960s. Upper Deck was the adjoining establishment to Lumina Pavilion, where guests could listen to music from a jukebox and eat pizza. “You come down here and see people you don’t see but once a year,” Jordan said. “I see a lot of people I graduated with.” Jordan, McKinnon and Chappel each recalled different aspects of Lumina Pavilion, where they would spend time before or after working shifts at Upper Deck. “We used to go over there to skateboard,” Jordan said. “There was just a lot going on. Lots of dating, high school and a little bit above high school. … Nobody ever got out of hand very much, and it was just a good place to be.” McKinnon remembered renting surf mats from the Lumina as well as roller skating around the dance floor with friends from junior high school. The most vivid memory for all three was live music and dancing at Lumina Pavilion. McKinnon said Lumina had the first scientifically designed band shell on the East Coast, one of the reasons so many well-known bands

played there. “Every big band — like we had Tommy Dorsey, Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller — every one of them played at the Lumina at some point in time in the ’20s and ’30s,” McKinnon said. It was this atmosphere the Lumina Daze celebration attempted to recreate, with The Wilmington Big Band orchestra, The Imitations and The Dixieland All-Stars all performing in different areas throughout the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. The night also featured silent and live auctions. Madeline Flagler, Wrightsville Beach Museum executive director, said the 2014 event likely raised more money than any other recent years. “This year we sold a minimum of 350 tickets before the event,” Flagler said. “The silent auction items last year we had 70, and we had over 100 this year. The live auction, I think we had 11 or 12 pieces, last year we had eight. I mean, look at all the people out there! I think this is the year that it has really come together.” As the evening light faded, guests lingered on the dance floor or sat around tables, reminiscing about good times shared in Wrightsville Beach over the years. As Susan Collins mingled with friends, she explained that for her neighborhood, Lumina Daze had become a yearly tradition. “We always try to gather up the people on our block, near the Oceanic,” Collins said. “We bring the people that didn’t grow up here, and also some that did. There are three couples that live on our block that we went to high school with.” As McKinnon stood near the dance floor with Jordan and Chappell, he acknowledged that nothing would ever be able to truly replicate the days of Lumina Pavilion. However, Lumina Daze did provide an opportunity for the three friends to reunite and share plenty of laughs about their time spent at Lumina, an era Chappell could sum up with only one word. “Memories,” he said with a smile. email emmy@luminanews.com

Outdoor ‘Midsummer’ rendition thrills crowd By Pam Creech Contributing Writer

The threat of rain didn’t stop 100 theatergoers from attending an outdoor production of “Midsummer Night’s Dream — Dissected” Saturday, Aug. 23. Although Friday night’s performance was canceled due to a torrential downpour, brave cast and tech crew members put on the show on the wet earth behind Jengo’s Playhouse in downtown Wilmington. While the production was a theatrical performance, it incorporated other art disciplines, including dance, music and film. Instead of staying seated and watching the show from afar, audience members stood throughout the one-hour performance and were encouraged to follow the actors across the grounds from scene to scene. Decorations and props were non-traditional. Mason jar candles on top of a picnic table lit up the center of the grassy stage. Colored strands of lights illuminated a small yellow house. Karola Lüttringhaus, the

show’s creator, wanted to design a performance that would differ from the traditional productions of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” that her audience had seen before. Instead of recreating the entire play, Lüttringhaus dissected the script and worked with the scenes that, she said, best portray the emotions and power of the female roles. “This is only half of the play, really,” Lüttringhaus said. “We just took little stories from here and there — Hermia and her father, the love talk between Lysander and Hermia and Helena’s entrance.” The show opened with Hermia wearing a flowy pink dress, dancing and throwing a trash can to show her frustration. Her father, Egeus, appeared larger-than-life on a screen behind her, telling her to marry Demetrius, go live in a nunnery, or die. Throughout the play’s 12 scenes, Lüttringhaus and her cast of actors, dancers and musicians kept the audience engaged by providing them with sensory overload. In one scene, a character climbed a tree and

gave a monologue 10 feet off of the ground. Another character dumped a bucket of water on her head and danced against the side of the yellow house. Buckets of rain were dumped

on the house’s tin roof to create a gentle rhythm. Lüttringhaus made an appearance toward the end of the play sporting a shimmery wedding gown. “We had a good turnout

considering that the weather was so crazy,” Lüttringhaus said. “I hope that we get to do it again; maybe we can do it in the fall.” Breanne Horne, who choreographed the show and played

Hermia, was also satisfied with her experience in the production. “The process is an adventure in and of itself,” Horne said. “It’s a team that makes a good show happen … even in the rain.”

Landfall art show a success for 15

By Thomas van Arsdale Intern

Once again Landfall opened its Dye Clubhouse to the public during the Landfall Foundation’s 15th Annual Art Show and Sale. From Aug. 21-23, 100 local and regional artists displayed their work throughout the clubhouse, showcasing sculpture, watercolor, photography, acrylic, fiber art, glass, pastel, oil, digital photography, pottery, mixed media and ceramics. Nicole White Kennedy, Raleigh-based artist, instructor and studio owner, judged the show and explained the difficulty in choosing the winners. “When I walked in here, I was struck by the amount of work and my task in fully comprehending these hundreds of pieces,”

Kennedy said. “But, when things are segregated in rooms like they are here, I can walk through and let everything sink in before actually making decisions.” During her second walk through the four showrooms, Kennedy placed sticky notes on the paintings that she would revisit in judging the categorical winners. However, she quickly gravitated toward her choice for Best in Show. “I rounded the corner and saw Sandy Nelson’s simple painting of a bird taking off above a warm, washed riverbank,” Kennedy said. “It was one of those stunners that kept coming back to me as I walked around the rooms. I went back later and actually analyzed the piece for brushstrokes, color and the like and it was a really clear decision.”

Nelson was ecstatic to learn that “Greenfield Morning” won Best in Show, noting the strength of the other artists. “I am honored that my painting was chosen, especially because there’s so much gifted talent in this show,” Nelson said. “What’s especially great is that this art show displays so many different kinds of art side-by-side that you may not otherwise see at the same gallery.” Nelson also lauded the Landfall Foundation Art Show and Sale for its collaboration with nonprofits in the Wilmington community. “Some of the charities that the Landfall Foundation supports are art programs in public schools and other art-facilitating nonprofits,” she said. “In a way, it funds the future of the arts.”

At the 2014 show the Landfall Foundation received 30 percent commission from each sale. These proceeds will be directly allotted to grant programs for local 501(c)(3) nonprofits that the foundation will sponsor in the fall. “The Art Show is a key revenue event that continues to help us to be a successful conduit facility for local nonprofits,” said Bill

Hamlet, Landfall Foundation President, during an Aug. 25 phone interview. “There are a lot of talented artists in the greaterWilmington region so it is also an amazing opportunity to see some of the best, original and innovative pieces of work from artists in your backyard.” Hamlet estimated the 2014 Art Show and Sale yielded more than $12,000 in grant fundraising and

year

predicts the Landfall Foundation will have roughly $400,000 in sponsorship funds for the fall. “We could not have done the show without the skillful artists, the public, our judge Nicole Kennedy and Katie Watkins, the chair of the Landfall Foundation Art Show,” Hamlet said. A complete list of the art show winners is available at www. luminanews.com

Sports/Marine Hook, Line & Sinker August showing definite signs of early fall By Skylar Walters

The early part of the week was nothing short of phenomenal as far as weather goes. Mid-to-low 80s, a massive dip in humidity and clearing skies have all contributed to what was a welcome sight to anglers. Unfortunately, with the coolness came significantly strong winds blowing from the northeast. Northeast winds with a cooling-down effect are normally reserved for a bit later in the fall. But, let me check — nope, no complaints. Offshore, the fishing has been good when a temperature break or rip can be found. Before the storms blew in, anglers reported decent catches of wahoo with some blackfin mixed in. Some larger dolphin were reported as well as a few billfish, namely in the variety of sailfish. Colors of blue and white seem to be the best choice, but trolling another color or two might not hurt your chances to make it worth your while and give the fish an assortment of flavors. In the 20-30 mile range, anglers report decent bottom fishing — that is, when they can stay away from the sharks. Nothing much has changed this week as the sea floor is littered with sharks just waiting for a free meal. Working your baits through them in order to get to the bottom can wear your patience thin, not to mention wasting a good portion of bait on them. Anglers report, just like last week, getting into waters more than 100 feet will help eliminate some of those shark encounters. Waiting in

the depths, providing you get on a good ledge or some structure, should be grouper, snapper, black sea bass and triggerfish. Along the beaches, anglers reported good runs of decent Spanish mackerel before the front arrival and the winds began to blow. Areas just off the Blockade Runner Beach Resort and also along Masonboro Island in the 35-foot range yielded plenty of good-sized Spanish on 00 Clark Spoons trolled behind a small planer. Some false albacore and bluefish have also been caught in the same areas. Inshore fishing is also starting to take on the feeling of fall with plenty of slot and overslot red drum found around the docks and in the creeks. Artificial baits are working, but live finger mullet, which are fairly numerous in area waters, will draw almost instant interest if a drum is around. Most anglers are rigging live baits on a Carolina rig with an offset or Kahle hook and just working them along the banks of the creeks or near the pilings of the local docks. Flounder fishing has started picking up in the same areas within the last week with more keeper fish being caught. Of course there are still plenty of undersized fish around, but as we progress into September (which by the way is only a week away), those flat fish will start feeding even more heavily on the abundance of baitfish that are around.

Port City serves up fourth annual Ping-Pong tourney By Emmy Errante Staff Writer

Table tennis players of all ages and ability levels will face off at the Brooklyn Arts Center Friday, Sept. 5 for the fourth Port City Ping-Pong Throwdown. Heather Thomson, Brooklyn Arts Center event coordinator, said the tournament includes a wide range of age and ability levels. “It’s such a big range of players,” Thomson said during an Aug. 22 phone interview. “We have elementary school kids playing against grandmas.” Player registration is $10 and non-player admission is $5. Registration includes one raffle ticket to win items donated by Omega Sports, and food will be available to purchase from a local food truck. Although onsite registration will be available from 4:30-6:30 p.m. the day of the event, Laurence Nadeau, Wilmington Table Tennis Club president, said he encourages people to register ahead of time to guarantee themselves a spot. “We’ve never had more than two pre-signups at any other tournament and I think we’re already at 10 or 15,” Nadeau said during an Aug. 21 phone interview. “We’re capping this group at 100, so if someone wants to play they should go ahead and sign up in advance.” Casual players are encouraged to enter group B while the more competitive players may enter group A. Cash prizes will be awarded to the top three finishers in each group. The tournament will be double-elimination, meaning that every player is guaranteed at least two games.

More than 70 competitors of all ages and skill levels gather for the Port City Ping-Pong Throwdown at the Brooklyn Arts Center Sept. 6, 2013.

Nadeau said he is excited to compete in the 2014 throwdown and take on the elite Ping-Pong players who are travelling from Jacksonville and Fayetteville for the event. “Some of the players coming are very high-rated players,” he said. “We hope to score some points and maybe get a game off these guys. It should be exciting.” Another local player who will be entering group A is Tim Connelly, a former president of the Wilmington Table Tennis Club. During an Aug. 22 phone interview, Connelly described how table tennis has grown in popularity over the years, due in large part to Nadeau’s efforts to initiate events like the Port City Ping-Pong Throwdown. “There were no more than six or eight players [in the club’s

beginning],” Connelly said. “So to watch a tournament where you have 92 people show up and then you have 50 or 60 other people who are just watching, it’s amazing to me. There’s nothing else like these throwdowns in the country.” Connelly said Nadeau’s idea of dividing players into two groups based on ability level was a great way to draw new players into the sport. “In the past, maybe people were a little intimidated by our game.” Connelly said. “The basic feeling is that if people don’t feel like they can win, they don’t want to compete.” Connelly said he turned over leadership of the Wilmington Table Tennis Club to Nadeau because of Nadeau’s vision for the club, which included better equipment and more

tournaments to increase interest in the sport. To turn his vision into a reality, Nadeau reached out to the Brooklyn Arts Center because their facility could fit as many as eight Ping-Pong tables. Thomson said they were excited to host the unique event. “They don’t really have a good place to hold a tournament and we have the perfect room for it,” Thomson said. “We like supporting them because it’s such a fun event. … People can come and play and have a fun night and people can come watch, too, so it’s good for families, it’s good for friends, it’s just fun, and it’s something different.” For more information about how to register, visit www.brooklynartsnc.com email emmy@luminanews.com

Hooping for soldiers By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Although football season is beginning everywhere else, basketball will rule the scene at Wrightsville Beach Park Saturday, Sept. 9, for a three-man team basketball tournament benefitting Step Up For Soldiers. Sponsored by Fox Wilmington, Wrightsville Beach Parks and Recreation and the U.S. Army, the tournament will begin at 9 a.m.

Sept. 9, with a full day of basketball slated. Step Up For Soldiers president and founder Thomas Russell said the tournament would raise vital funds for the all-volunteer organization and help to spread the word about its cause. “It is a good way for us to get out there and meet new people,” Russell said. “If you are not out with the people that can help you, your charity struggles.” The nonprofit organization Step

Up For Soldiers was founded by Russell in 2004, and aims to provide disabled veterans who experienced loss of limb and mobility issues with the resources necessary to adjust to a post-war environment. One local U.S. National Guard unit the organization has worked extensively with is the 1-120th Combined Arms Battalion, which has been deployed twice since 2004 and has lost eight members in combat.

Russell said the unit would be deployed to Jordan in September and the organization plans to again assist the soldiers’ families while they are away. So far Step Up For Soldiers has completed around 10 home renovations needed for soldiers returning stateside with mobility issues. “A lot of times they will still be in the service but rehabbing at home instead of taking up hospital space,” he said. “Sometimes they don’t have the money for things like handles for the bathroom, widening doorways or whatever they need, so

locally we have been the go-to organization.” The organization’s largest project is building the Kramer House south of Monkey Junction, which will be used to house veterans and their families during transitional periods. The house is named after Ed Kramer, a local firefighter who is one of the 1-120th soldiers killed in action. With permits approved and concrete foundation poured, Russell said a large portion of the funds raised during the basketball tournament would be used for the construction of the house.

“Once completed, it will be used by a veteran who is married and goes to school full time, and they can live there until the veteran graduates,” Russell said. “Then they will move out and we will put someone else new in there.” To register for the three-man team basketball tournament, visit www.capefeardailydeals.revrocket.us Registration closes Friday, Aug. 29.

big impression Staff photo by Cole Dittmer

Above: Sliding barn doors, ambient lighting and wood floors are staples in the various layouts of the Tonbo Meadow units. Left: Tonbo Meadow features townhouses clustered together in threes with either three- or two-story options and fully customizable interiors. Below left: A kitchen in an already purchased unit of the Tonbo Meandow development features accents like frosted glass cabinetry and quartz countertops along with environmentally friendly features.

alking through the Tonbo Meadow subdivision off of Greenville Loop Road, it is easy to imagine living in the efficient, simple-but-elegant midcentury modern duplexes and triplexes that dot the site. The impression is intentional. Pam Fasse, owner of Fasse Construction and Development, builder and developer of Tonbo Meadow, said the project was designed to accommodate. “That’s really the idea behind this whole thing, to just keep it lowimpact — on the environment, on your pocketbook, on your lifestyle — just make it really, really easy to live here,” Fasse said. The idea for the project hatched years ago in 2006, but zoning hurdles, opposition from neighboring homeowners and an economic recession stalled the project. Over time, the vision for the project was tweaked. When Fasse teamed up with Scott Ogden and Lara Berkley of B+O Design Studio in 2007, the plan was to offer larger, single-family homes with less modern design. “The original proposal here was 10 houses, and they were market-rate, big houses like you would see in Colton Park: 2,400 to 2,800 square feet, two-car garages, just under [$500,000],” Ogden said. But the team did not disband when the project was put on hold. Ogden designed some of the buildings in Fasse’s next sustainable subdivision project, Midori on 29th. Midori was built based on a similar vision, but smaller units drove down the price, bringing more buyers to the market. The interest in that development encouraged Fasse to tweak the vision for Tonbo Meadow. Changing the zone of the 3.2-acre parcel from R15 to R10 allowed the team to expand the proposal to include 14 units, each between 1,600 and 2,000 square feet, with a one-care garage and a more approachable starting price of $325,000. The first unit, a triplex seated beside the cul-de-sac on Tonbo Trail, completed construction during April 2014, with two duplex units scheduled for completion in November and December.

Fasse said the community is the first true low-impact development subdivision in North Carolina. The main features of LID projects are designed to manage stormwater runoff. “LID means that you are capturing and cleaning all of the waters that fall on your property, or come on your property from somewhere else,” Fasse said. The project implements standard LID features like limited impervious surfaces, which do not absorb water, and vegetated swales to absorb and filter rainwater, plus a stormwater wetland to store and filter additional runoff. Part of planning the low-impact community meant embracing the ecological profile of the land. Berkley, landscape architect for the project, maintained as much flora and fauna natural to wetland sites as possible. “When people come to Wilmington, they see crepe myrtles and azaleas and they think that’s Wilmington. Those are not the plants that were originally here,” Berkley said. Native plants support indigenous birds and insects, like the dragonfly that inspired the name of the development. Tonbo is the Japanese word for dragonfly.

“One of the neat things about native plants is that they support an insect population that exotic plants won’t. One of things we did was design for the dragonfly, and there is specific vegetation to that end,” Berkley said. Gary McCabe, civil engineer with Raleigh-based Red Line Engineering, transferred Berkley’s plans to the land. The buildings are also designed to offer better air quality and energy efficiency, boasting a Home Energy Rating System score (HERS) of 52 compared to the average 130 due to a tight building envelope and rain screen siding system, ultra-efficient heating and cooling systems, overhangs that curb radiant heat from the sun, no- or low-VOC paints and all water-based products. Fasse said the style of the units evolved to serve the same function as the LID and energy- efficient features. “The space really springs from the rest of the ideas, just being extremely usable. It’s a style we used for maximizing the space,” Fasse said. Fasse noted the style of the units is not new, but rather a resurgence of the midcentury style rooted in the aesthetic of the 1950s that underscored the functionality she desired. “It’s a very intuitive style. ... They were designed because you maximize and optimize the use of space. You optimize the heating and cooling. You don’t have all these nooks and crannies that are unused. It’s a lot of boxes, but when you’re dealing with boxes, you don’t waste a lot of space,” Fasse said. Fasse said different architectural offerings can also attract and retain new people to the region. Joel Fuller, one of the neighborhood’s first owners, said he was lured to Wilmington by subdivisions like Tonbo Meadow. “It’s one of the main reasons I’m in Wilmington. I moved because of the architecture and the ocean,” he said. A fan of urban lofts found in New York City, Fuller said he was drawn by the loft layout of the units he purchased in Tonbo Meadow. “It’s like being in the trees, open with high ceilings. It just feels healthier. You feel better. It’s a better spirit,” Fuller said. email miriah@luminanews.com

Providing everything needed to enjoy beach life while vacationing or living along the Cape Fear Coast is what concierge business owners Becky Flournoy and Kelly Barnes have made their career. New to the concierge game, Wrightsville Beach local Barnes recently started Coastal Concierge by Kelly Barnes after providing similar services to friends and family for everyday occurrences. “People call me a lot for advice about who to hire to do work on their house or what babysitters and doctors to go to,” Barnes said. “Since I have been in the community for such a long time, people trust my judgment on things like that.” In her new business, lifestyle advising is just one of the services Barnes offers. Other services include vacation home, rental home and home-improvement project management, boat and yacht maintenance and management, business-oriented management

and others like airport transit, pet sitting and mail pickup. In addition to having a wide range of work experience, Barnes said she also knows how to serve her clients because she felt the need for a concierge in her own

On any given day, Flournoy said, a concierge’s duties could range from feeding pet hermit crabs to hiring personal chefs, providing marine transportation and readying a family’s beach house. “We are here to assist both vacationers and homeowners,”

Flournoy said. “For homeowners, we are here to be their hands and eyes when they are not here; for vacationers, we are here to make their stay with their guests as fun and enjoyable as possible.” Flournoy said she realized the need for concierge services when she noticed the abundance of second homes, vacationers and seasonal residents on both Figure Eight Island and Wrightsville Beach. Barnes said she believes the evolution of Wrightsville Beach as a year-round destination and the ever-increasing size of the homes have furthered the need for concierge services. “We have all these larger estates that need to be managed where there used to be more small beach cottages,” Barnes said. “It is always good for somebody to be your eyes and ears there if you live out of town and only come once a month because anything could happen and it is nice to have someone check up on things.” email cole@luminanews.com

In order to take the next step in a relationship, it’s important to ask the question: How is our financial situation? Many couples find this topic hard to discuss due to the tension that it brings. Studies say the topic of money is the No. 1 source of arguments in a marriage. So, with the potential for negative emotions why is it vital to talk to your significant Dave Dupont other about money? To establish a harmonious financial relationship with your partner, there are four key topics you should address. Debt: The accumulation of debt, especially student loans, has become an increasingly frustrating problem for some individuals and is something that couples shouldn’t ignore. Since debt becomes communal after tying the knot, it is paramount that both partners are transparent about the amount of debt they bring to the relationship, as well as their debt management and payment plans. Money-type: People develop a money personality based on their environment and upbringing. It is important to understand your partner’s money views and establish a middle ground for financial issues. Set ground rules for communicating about big purchases and making investment decisions so that conflict does not arise. Family matters: Outside of knowing about your partner’s financial situation, it is essential to understand potential family obligations. Is your partner putting money into caring for his/ her parents or providing a loan to a sibling or relative? Loaning money to family can have an impact on your savings as well as your relationship. Have a discussion now about how this will be handled and communicated so you can manage your finances accordingly and keep peace in the home. Investments: Investing in your future can be an overlooked part of many financial conversations. Most people realize they need to save for retirement, but how much you save depends on how and when each of you wants to retire. What about saving for college? Do you want your children to attend a private or public college and how much do you intend to pay toward tuition? All of these topics are important players in a fully encompassing financial conversation.

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 Pick and Choose

Week 7 in a multi-part series

onders

Anyone who has heard the good news (Gospel) of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and has received Him as his/her Lord and Savior has experienced the greatest miracle known to man. All other miracles that I have either seen or read about, pale in comparison to this free gift of grace. It is wonderful to know that I have eternal life, my sins are forgiven for eternity and heaven is my new home. However, as dynamic as this salvation is, it is only a part of what was purchased for us on that cross at Calvary. Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, (Galatians 1:4 NKJV), This verse, and several others, reveals that Jesus is just as interested in our natural lives on this earth as He is in our eternal lives. He endured horrific torture to His body, not only for our sins to be forgiven, but for our bodies to be healed and every need in this life to be abundantly supplied. Unfortunately, there are those who pick and choose what part of the atonement they want to keep and what part to throw away. What if, out of my love for you, I were to give you a very expensive gift, only to watch you tear it into pieces, keeping the pieces you like and discarding the rest. Another verse that exposes God’s heart in this matter is Isaiah 53:4,5: Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we

are healed. The New Testament translates verse four of Isaiah this way: And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases (Matthew 8:17 AMP). Once we can see the proper translation of Isaiah 53:4, it becomes easier to understand the last few words of verse five; and by His stripes we are healed. The Greek word “sozo” was used over 100 times in the New Testament. It is an all-encompassing word for salvation, often rendered “save” or “saved.” Matthew 1:21 for example: And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save (Sozo) His people from their sins” (NKJV). However, there were also times when that exact same Greek word was translated as “healed.” Mark 5:23 says: and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed (Sozo), and she will live.” This same word that is used for both forgiveness of sins and physical healing also applies to deliverance from demons. They also who had seen it told them by what means he who had been demon-possessed was healed (Sozo) (Luke 8:36 NKJV). Forgiveness of our sins is certainly the centerpiece of our salvation, and in no way am I minimizing that. However, a true understanding of the scripture reveals that at the same time on the cross of Calvary, He also freed us from sickness, disease, demonic depression and poverty. Which part of this wonderful free gift have you rejected and which part have you decided to keep? Scripture does not separate what Jesus did in the atonement. Only men do that. As far as God is concerned, salvation is a one-size-fits-all package deal.

Enter

You enter into My kingdom with your worship tonight Pick up your sword of faith and enter the fight As you enter the Holy Place present your petitions to Me I will honor your petitions in ways that you will see Bring solutions to the problems of this time on Earth Because of your faith and your worship you will see a new birth So enter with your eyes wide open to see the glory come In ways you have not seen before to put your enemy under your thumb As you enter your worship feel free to lift your voice on high Look to the future as a bright and open sky Shows you the way forward and how to enter that special place Where all the glory of heaven will be reflected on your face Speak out the needs of those around you so they may enter in To that special place reserved for My believers who will win A special seat reserved for My children who worship from their heart It is a new day and a new way to enter worship that will never depart

C a rl W a t e r s (Exo 40:35 NRSV) Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled upon it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. (Psa 100:4 NRSV) Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name. (Ezek 37:5 NRSV) Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. (Mat 5:20 NRSV) For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. (Mat 7:13 NRSV) Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. (Mark 10:15 NRSV) Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will never enter it. (John 3:5 NRSV) Jesus answered, “Very truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God without being born of water and Spirit.” (Heb 9:24 NRSV) For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made by human hands, a mere copy of the true one, but he entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.

BE FAITHFUL WITH A LITTLE Luke 19:12-13 “He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” The main purpose of this parable is to show that there would be a long period when Jesus would go away before returning to fulfill the prophecy about a physical kingdom on earth. The nobleman’s servants were called to give an account for what they had done with their lord’s money that was delivered unto them. The servants were commanded to “occupy till I come.” These servants represent the followers of Jesus. However, being a follower of Jesus is more than simply not rejecting Him. It is an active commitment to serve Him. One of the ten servants had served himself and not His master. He did nothing with what his lord had given him. This wicked servant was stripped of what he had and it was given to the servant

who had used his lord’s money wisely. This illustrates that the Lord expects us to grow. This is made very clear in the parables of the kingdom which Jesus taught. In nearly every parable, growth or increase is expected. This servant who did nothing with what his lord gave him represents a believer who never grows or brings increase to God’s kingdom. What was it that this wicked servant didn’t have that caused his master to take back the money he had given him? It wasn’t the tangible money that he received. He had kept that laid up in a napkin and still possessed it. What he was missing and what the other servant had that caused the lord to give this pound to him was faithfulness. Those who are faithful with what God has given them will be given more, and those who are wasteful will have what God has given them taken away and given to another. Use wisely what God has given to you.

Lori Rosbrugh’s Sherried Chicken Wings 4 pounds chicken wings, flats and /or drummettes, separated 1 cup brown sugar ¾ cup sherry

1 cup soy sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dry mustard

Preparation: Place wings in single layer in large baking dish; bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes; spoon out as much grease as possible. While wings are cooking, mix brown sugar, sherry, soy sauce, garlic and dry mustard in small pan and cook on low heat until sugar dissolves. Pour sauce over wings and continue baking at 300 degrees for two hours, turning and basting wings every so often. Sauce will become a finger-licking glaze as wings cook, even more so once you remove them from the oven and let them rest for 15 minutes.

Peanut Sesame Noodles 1 package spaghetti or linguine ½ cup peanut butter 1 /3 cup boiling water ¼ cup soy sauce 2 tablespoons vinegar

2 tablespoons sesame oil 1 tablespoon ground ginger 2 cloves garlic, chopped 4 or 5 scallions for garnish

Heirloom Tomatoes with Fresh Peaches, Goat Cheese and Pecans

Preparation: Start with the spaghetti or linguine and prepare it up to one day in advance. In a large glass jar or beaker, mix the peanut butter with the water. Add the rest of the ingredients. Pour over the noodles immediately and mix. Garnish with scallions.

½ cup pecans, coarsely chopped ½ cup white balsamic vinegar 1 garlic clove, minced 2 tablespoons light brown sugar 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 /8 teaspoon salt 1 large fresh peach, peeled and diced 2 tablespoons fresh basil 2 pounds heirloom tomatoes, sliced 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled Fresh ground pepper to taste

This is an easy-to-do dish that can be served warm or cold. — Helen Shalfi

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan 8–10 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring halfway through. 2. Whisk together vinegar and next four ingredients. Stir in sliced peach and chopped fresh basil. Spoon over sliced heirloom tomatoes; top with goat cheese and toasted pecans. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper to taste. Enjoy! Serves 6 This is my new favorite summer salad! A friend passed it on to me a few years ago. — Cathy Twohig, Leland, N.C.

Easy Bean Salad 3 cans of beans (kidney, pinto, great northern, etc.) 1 can of corn (or fresh cooked kernels) 1 red or green pepper, diced 1 small red or Vidalia onion, diced

Salad Dressing ½ cup salad oil ½ cup cider or wine vinegar 1 tablespoon cumin ¼ teaspoon garlic powder ¼ teaspoon each, salt and pepper

Preparation: Rinse the beans in a colander and put in a large bowl along with corn, pepper and onion. Mix the dressing by putting ingredients in a jar and shaking it. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix thoroughly. Quick, easy and delicious. Can be made ahead of time, but keep the salad and dressing separate until just before serving. This recipe is very versatile; you can vary the amounts of the salad ingredients, add cooked, chopped string beans, cilantro or parsley. Good for parties because you can double the recipe. — Helen Shalfi
