Wilmington man charged in Wrightsville Beach vehicle fire By Terry Lane Staff Writer
Wrightsville Beach police responding to reports of a suspicious person in the Johnnie Mercer’s Pier parking lot instead found a vehicle fire, leading to the arrest of a Wilmington man on charges of burning property in the commission of a felony after he told police he set the pickup truck on fire. Joseph Arthur Eudy, 19, of Wilmington, was in the New Hanover County jail on Wednesday under a bond of $75,000 after being charged with breaking and entering a motor vehicle, burning of personal property, burning of property during the commission of a felony, consuming alcohol under 21 and obtaining
alcohol by false identification. Police said they received a call about a suspicious male trying to enter vehicles in the parking lot at about 3:16 a.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 9. Upon arrival, they found Eudy sitting on the drivers side of a grey Dodge pickup truck with the door open and smoke billowing from the cab. After leaving the vehicle following police instructions, flames overtook the vehicle, and Eudy admitted to officers that he set the fire, police said. However, while he said he thought it was his vehicle, the truck belonged to someone else. Police said Eudy could not explain why he had set the fire. Police said that state statutes on arson generally only apply to occupied homes Joseph Eudy or dwellings, not vehicles.
Opioid Prescriptions and Overdoses Reduced Significantly in One Year One year after changing prescribing guidelines to reduce the prevalence of addictive opioids, community physicians and New Hanover Regional Medical Center have reported a reduction of opioid prescriptions by almost 20 percent – resulting in more than 836,000 fewer pills distributed in the community. At the same time, opioid overdose visits to the NHRMC Emergency Department have been cut by more than half through 10 months of 2018 – encouraging news for a community two years ago cited by a national study as home of the nation’s worst opioid problem. “When a community decides to come together, you see results like this,” said Dr. Kevin Cannon, Chair of NHRMC Opioid Task Force. “This is a result of our doctors, pharmacists, nurses and especially our patients’ efforts. This is a win, and not just because of the reduction of opioid pills in our community. This is about saving lives, and I couldn’t be more proud. We still have a long way to go and many other factors to address, but we are proving we can make a difference in the community we serve.” The NHRMC health system, NHRMC Physician Group and community physicians implemented new prescribing policies beginning Oct. 12, 2017. In the 12 months since, more than 19,000 fewer opioid prescriptions have been dispensed through NHRMC, and the number of patients prescribed opioid alternatives has increased by more than 700 percent. Prescriptions for Naloxone, which can reverse the symptoms of an opioid overdose, increased over those 12 months from 168 to 576, an increase of almost 250 percent. This means that more people in our community have immediate access to this life saving medication. Meanwhile, from January through October, opioid overdoserelated visits to NHRMC’s Emergency Department dropped to 72, down from 155 during the same time period in 2017. The catalyst for these improvements was the Medical n See OVERDOSE Page 2
A higher hourly rate of $3 and extended hours on parts of the island are among the changes in parking that the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will consider in its upcoming annual “retreat” meeting next week. The parking change proposal come as the town is bracing for revenue shortfalls following a 2018 season that generated a heap of bad weather days, including a hurricane evacuation that left the island desolated for more than a week. In addition to parking revenues being down, the town will also have to contend with sales and hotel tax shortfalls. Lanier Parking, which operates the town’s operation, presented a series of proposals during the Monday evening board of aldermen meeting, several of which will be considered in more detail and potentially voted upon during the aldermen’s retreat meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 8:30 a.m.. Most notably, a hike in the rate from $2.50 to $3 would require scrapping as many as 200 “gray” meters used at individual spots across the island. While some metered spots could be converted to pay-by-phone, dozens of spots with gray meters on Waynick Boulevard and North Lumina Avenue would likely need new meters, since signage needed for the pay-by-phone spots could be unsightly on those streets and confusing to parkers. However, the cost to purchase as many as 150 new meters could run between $75,000 and $112,000, depending upon which style of meter the board selects. Another change under consideration is extending the collection times on Harbor Island and other parts of the island to be consistent with the beachside lots. Parking hours on Old Causeway Drive, Marina and Keel streets, town hall and other areas on Harbor Island could be extended from its current collection schedule of May 1 - Sept. 15, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., to match the March 1 - Oct. 31, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., schedule for beachside parking. The board may also require that tax decals be purchased along with hanging resident parking passes. Tax decals are n See PARKING Page 2

Wilmington International Airport sees record passenger growth The Wilmington International Airport (ILM)’s passenger numbers soared in 2018. Throughout the 2018 calendar year, ILM served 934,058 passengers-a 12% increase from 836,589 passengers served in 2017.
Throughout the calendar year, ILM’s growth was propelled by the addition of a third carrier, United. The airline began nonstop service in April 2018 between ILM and Chicago O’Hare (ORD) as well as Washington-Dulles (IAD). American

legally required but generally only purchased in the event of a storm-related evacuation, such as occurred with Hurricane Continued from Page 1 Florence in 2018, as they are used in the return process to help validate residency. Hanging tags cost $35 and the tax decal is $15 if purchased before April 1 and $30 if bought after. Additionally, the board may make changes to how it issues commercial passes to local businesses, with the goal of eventually phasing out the passes. Handicapped parking will remain free for those with eligible permits. With $2.9 million in reported revenue, 2018 parking collections in Wrightsville Beach were down 2.4 percent from 2017 collections and even further off the 2016 high of $3.08 million in revenue. The town had forecast $3.03 million in revenue this year, with collection being 2.9 percent off that goal. Raising rates to $3 could have a varying impact on revenue, depending on how the increased rates affect demand. With demand unaffected, an island-wide change in rates could boost revenues by as much as $410,000. However, if the higher rates drive down demand by as much as 15 percent, revenue increases could be as low as $41,000. Revenue collection was partly impacted by the weather, as Lanier Parking said that historic rainfall totals created an unexpected number of “weather days” that impacted parking revenue collection. The nearly 80 inches of rainfall far exceeded the average of 40 inches and soared past the 2017 total of 50 inches. And while the Hurricane Florence evacuation shuttered the parking operation for nine days in September, a rainy July created 16 weather days, three times higher than the previous July. In fact, every month in 2018 had more weather days than the prior year, with the exception of August.

nonstop service to Reagan National (DCA). American grew service again at the end of 2018; expanding its nonstop seasonal service to Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) to daily yearround service in December. “2018 has been a year of unprecedented growth,” stated Julie Wilsey, Airport Director. “We acknowledge the investment our airline partners made at ILM.” Through Wilmington International Airport’s three network carriers, (United, American Airlines, and Delta) travelers can access 8 nonstop destinations, 7 hubs, 6 international gateways, and 310 destinations with just one stop. “With our terminal
expansion underway, and the continued support from our growing community, we look forward to our next milestone of 1 million passengers,” Wilsey shared. The Wilmington International Airport serves southeastern North Carolina with commercial air service on Delta, American Airlines, and United. In 2018, ILM welcomed 934,058 passengers annually. ILM services 8 nonstop destinations (ATL, CLT, PHL, LGA, DCA, IAD, ORD, DFW); allowing for convenient domestic and international travel. The Wilmington International Airport is the fifth largest airport in North Carolina. The NCDOT Division of Aviation’s 2017 State of Aviation report estimated ILM’s economic impact at $1.752 billion and nearly 13,000 jobs.
Report: Airports Contribute $52 Billion, 307,000 Jobs to N.C. Economy North Carolina’s publicly owned airports contribute more than $52 billion to the state’s economy and support 307,000 jobs, according to a report released by the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation. The report, North Carolina: The State of Aviation, highlights the economic impacts of the state’s public airports and the related aviation and aerospace assets that support North Carolina’s aviation economy. NCDOT created the report to help guide future investment in aviation infrastructure and to act as a tool for recruiting future aviation and aerospace industry. Airports and aviation-related jobs also provide $12.6 billion in personal income and contribute $2.2 billion in state and local tax revenues every year. “Our network of 72 public airports, and the aviation and aerospace assets that rely on them, help move our economy forward by creating jobs, supporting business growth and connecting people and companies to markets around the globe,” said Bobby Walston, director of NCDOT’s Division of Aviation. North Carolina’s public airport system boasts 10 commercial service and 62 general aviation airports that connect local businesses and communities to global markets, house and refuel private aircraft, support military and agricultural aviation and statewide emergency response, and provide aviation services such as aerial photography and pilot training. The commercial service airports also offer regularly scheduled passenger service. All airports generate significant economic return for their communities and the state. For instance, North Carolina’s public airports lease space to more than 3,300 private aircraft that generate more than $19 million in tax revenues for their communities each year. The owner of a $1.5 million aircraft based at a North Carolina airport pays local property taxes equivalent to those paid by owners of 10 homes valued at $150,000 each. The report contains data compiled and analyzed for NCDOT by North Carolina State University’s Institute for Transportation Research and Education. Impacts are calculated based on factors such as jobs supported by the airports and the businesses that rely on them, business and leisure travelers, and airport capital projects and operations.

This resulted in opioids prescribed less often, for less duration and with fewer pills. It also promoted more use of non-opioid therapy.

TreeFest 2019 Offers Tree Seedlings and Native Grasses
Wrightsville Beach Police Weekly Arrest Report
TreeFest, an annual distribution of tree seedlings, will be held Friday, January 18 and Saturday, January 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., or until trees run out, inside Independence Mall in the JC Penney end court. Hurricane Florence took away many trees in our area, and TreeFest is a great opportunity to increase the tree canopy and biodiversity in your yard. Trees are free, with a suggested donation of $3 per household to help ensure that TreeFest can continue next year. Tree species include bald cypress, black walnut, buttonbush, chestnut oak, crape myrtle, longleaf pine, persimmon, pignut hickory, red maple, river birch, silky dogwood, swamp chestnut oak, white ash, and white oak. Grass species include Indian grass and little bluestem. There is a limit of five trees and/or grasses per household. Additional information and helpful tips can be viewed here. TreeFest began in 1997, after hurricanes Bertha and Fran destroyed many trees in the area. The TreeFest Committee organizes the event; members and sponsors include: North Carolina Forest Service, Keep New Hanover Beautiful, New Hanover County Department of Parks and Gardens, New Hanover Soil and Water Conservation District, City of Wilmington, UNCW Department of Environmental Sciences, Wilmington Earth Day Alliance, and Independence Mall. The trees and grasses are grown in Goldsboro, NC at the NC Forest Service Nursery. The committee encourages planting of the seedlings within a week of the event, noting that winter is a great time to plant trees and grasses in the New Hanover County area. For more information, contact TreeFest Committee member Karl Busick at 910-540-4028 or karlbusick@gmail.com.

FEMA Reaches out to North Carolinians in Hotels North Carolina residents who are still staying in hotels after Hurricane Florence can expect a call from FEMA about their long-term housing plan. If you are in FEMA’s Transitional Sheltering Assistance program, FEMA advisors will be contacting you to set up an appointment to meet with them, as well as voluntary agencies and state partners to discuss steps for moving toward a more permanent housing solution. Transitional Sheltering Assistance provides short-term hotel accommodations for displaced survivors as they transition from locations other than their pre-disaster residence to temporary or permanent housing solutions. FEMA provides money for rental property, home repairs and other forms of housing to help eligible households transition from a hotel to a short- or long-term housing option. Following these tips will help make the appointment process as smooth as possible: • Make sure FEMA has up-to-date contact information. o This information can be updated online at DisasterAssistance.gov, by calling the Disaster Assistance Helpline at (800) 621-3362 (voice, 711 or Voice Relay Service), TTY: (800) 462-7585. • FEMA advisors may be calling from unfamiliar area codes. If you receive a message it is important for you to call the advisor back. • Be willing to work with the FEMA advisor to schedule the earliest available appointment. • Be available to meet with a FEMA advisor. Since Hurricane Florence struck in September 2018, FEMA has provided hotel stays for more than 850 households under its Transitional Sheltering Assistance program. Now nearly two-thirds of those have moved on to a more permanent housing solution. There are currently 322 households comprising just over 900 people in Transitional Sheltering Assistance.

US Open Fat Bike Beach Race may double in size in 2019 Already the largest fat bike beach race on the East coast and named one of the Top-20 festivals and events in 2018 by the Southeast Tourism Society, the US Open Fat Bike Beach Championship may double in size in 2019. “For the past two years the race has been limited to 100-participants,” said Shawn Spencer, Race Director. “We’re expecting a larger field in 2019 and had to raise the cap to two hundred.” To accommodate the increase, Spencer plans to have two race times, segmenting the elite category from the intermediate and beginner groups, limiting each race to 100-bikers. “The elite racers will have the track alone for the first time,” said Spencer. “The elite, intermediate and beginner races will be more exciting with less congestion on the track.” The 5th annual US Open Fat Bike Beach Championship will be held March 22-24, 2019, with activities and races based at host hotel Blockade Runner Beach Resort in Wrightsville Beach. Blockade Runner is expected to reopen in early Spring following extensive repairs due to damages from Hurricane Florence. “We’ll have some cash prizes this year thanks to our
presenting sponsor Alpha Mortgage,” said Spencer. “This will attract a higher number of elite racers.” “The elite race requires conditioning beyond any other type of sport, plus the mental fortitude not to quit regardless of your suffering. It’s just hard,” said Spencer. “Skill is also needed to manage a fat bike through obstacles and tough terrain.” “With two months to go, we already have 73 bikers signed up for the races,” said Spencer. “These athletes represent 39 communities in seven states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, Vi r g i n i a , M a r y l a n d , Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.” Spencer expects a full slate of 200 bikers in 2019, and is awaiting registrations from Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and California. “The return of the last three champions is creating excitement surrounding the 2019 women’s elite race,” said Spencer. Mount Airy’s Philicia Marion (Cycleworks Xpedo Professional Mountain Bike Team presented by Vittoria), will defend her 2018 championship against 2017 winner Zdenka ‘Zoe’ Worsham (Crank Arm Brewing Professional Team of Raleigh), and 2016 champ and “fat bike aficionado”

Elite division starting line – US Open Fat Bike Beach Championship
Jesse Piersol of Downington, PA. The field of women in the US Open Fat Bike Beach Championship has increased from near zero to sixteen-percent over the past four years. The growth rate is expected to continue in 2019. The competition will be equally fierce in the men’s division with a deep lineup of elite bikers seeking the top-spot. A top contender
to watch is 2016 champion Robert “Fear the Beard” Marion of Mount Airy (Cycleworks Xpedo Professional Mountain Bike Team), recovering from a 2017 bike injury. “Athletes check-in Friday at Blockade Runner Beach Resort to inspect the race conditions,” said Spencer. “Saturday there will be a bike expo on the beach lawn before and after the races,
followed by the awards ceremony. Competition includes a two-hour elite race; a 90-minute intermediate event; and a 60-minute race for beginners. Popular obstacles will be on the course this year with fresh surprises to challenge the bikers.” Sunday features an optional 18-mile social bike ride on the beach from Fort Fisher to Bald Head Island and back. “It’s amazing and very
exciting to see so many people coming together to support the races and our community following Hurricane Florence. We are very grateful,” said Spencer. The US Open Fat Bike Beach Championship will benefit the Wrightsville Beach Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving public parks and amenities for residents and visitors each year.
2019 Girl Scout Cookie Program Kicks Off on Saturday, January 12 with a recently debuted Girl Scout Cookie added to the 2019 lineup: Caramel Chocolate Chip, which features rich caramel, semisweet chocolate chips, and a hint of sea salt in a chewy gluten-free cookie. The new cookie is offered in select Girl Scout council markets only for as long as supplies last. Through the Girl Scout Cookie Program, girls not only discover their inner leadership potential but also use their earnings
On Saturday, January 12th, Girl Scouts—North Carolina Coastal Pines will launch the 2019 Girl Scout Cookie Program, celebrating the largest financial investment in girls annually in the United States and a powerful entrepreneurship incubator for the next generation of female leaders. At a time when girls’ needs and issues collect fewer than eight cents of every dollar granted by philanthropic foundations in the country, each and every Girl Scout Cookie purchase is key to supporting the change-makers of today and tomorrow. Research shows that female-founded start-ups generate more revenue over time and per dollar than male-founded start-ups, but only 17 percent of start-ups are female-founded. Given that over half (53 percent) of female entrepreneurs and business owners are Girl Scout alums, supporting Girl Scouts as they make sales and learn essential business skills is imperative to ensuring our country has a strong workforce and economy. And Girl Scouts—North Carolina Coastal Pines is celebrating a tasty new way to support young female entrepreneurs
to power amazing experiences for themselves and their troop, including travel, outdoor adventure, and science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programming. Many girls put the money toward impactful community projects right in their own backyards, from supporting animal shelters and food banks to working with local and state legislators.
