Youth Fishing at Bogue Inlet Pier Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation is hosting the 2019 Youth Fishing Derby at Bogue Inlet Pier from 9-11am on Saturday, June 8. The event is free and open to children ages 5-12. Great prizes are awarded in categories ranging from Most Unique Fish Caught to Largest Fish Caught. Rods and reels are not provided, however, bait will be available while supplies last.

Preregistration is required by June 6. To register, call 252-3546350 or email slowe@emeraldislenc.org.

Returning to the Rock For 61 years, the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has drawn droves of spectators and media to the Morehead City waterfront. Visitors and residents visit shops and restaurants downtown while waiting for an angler to catch the top prize, a blue marlin. While prizes are still awarded for game fish such as mahi mahi, tuna and wahoo, the blue marlin weigh-ins are what draws the crowds to the bleachers and the streets to see who is at the top of the leader board and in the running for the purse, which runs in the millions.

Prior to 1957, the blue marlin was an elusive catch that most believed could only be caught in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. One had never been caught in the waters off Morehead City, though sailors often told stories of the blue marlin seen not too far offshore. Most were convinced these stories were just tall tales, but Morehead City’s Fabulous Fishermen Club decided to see if the stories were true.

The original members of the club were able to convince local business leaders to put a small cash prize together for the person to catch the first blue marlin. While boats began to venture further out, the first blue marlin wasn’t caught until Sept. 14, 1957. The angler was welcomed at the dock by an impromptu parade and a children’s red wagon full of the prize money.

This year’s tournament is scheduled for June 7-15, drawing anglers from up and down the coast. Blue marlin are brought to the scales as soon as they are caught, while game fish weigh-ins occur Monday through Saturday.

The tournament kicks off with the Lady Angler Event from 6-8pm on Friday, June 7 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center. The Big Rock Lady Angler Tournament runs from 8am-1pm on Saturday, June 8, followed by the Captain’s Party at the Civic Center from 7-11pm. Tickets can be purchased at tournament headquarters or at the door.

Can’t make it downtown to see the big ones make it to the dock? Keep tabs on all the action with the tournament’s live feed at thebigrock.com.

Swansboro Celebrates Arts by the Sea The Swansboro Festival Committee along with the Town of Swansboro will host the annual Arts by the Sea festival on Saturday, 8

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

June 8 in historic downtown Swansboro. Festival hours are 9am5pm.

A wide variety of artists and crafters will line the streets with beautiful fine art and handmade crafts.

The juried show represents some of the finest crafters in the Southeast.

Pottery, jewelry, paintings, stained glass, carving, photography, sculpture and metal work are just a few of the crafts represented at this annual event.

The Kids Zone will offer arts, crafts and a variety of other activities on the waterfront across from Olde Towne Square.

During the event, no pets, bicycles or skateboards are allowed and the streets will be closed to vehicular traffic. There will be a park and ride shuttle available.

Seaside Cinema Take in a family-friendly film while enjoying the sea breeze at Atlantic Beach Town Park, 915 W. Fort Macon Road. Each summer the town offers a weekly movie on a large outdoor screen. Movies begin at dusk – about 8:30pm. Lawn chairs, blankets and other comfort items are welcome. This year’s series kicks off on June 12 and runs each Wednesday through the summer. A special double feature is planned for July 3 featuring “Incredibles 2” and the annual viewing of “Jaws” – because where better to watch the horror classic than nestled next to the ocean. Best of all? It’s always (Continued on page 12)

On the Horizon – July 4th With so many different places to catch the fireworks along the Crystal Coast, it’s best to plan ahead. From concerts to parades, there’s plenty to do leading up to the main event, spectacular fireworks.

Morehead City Parks and Recreation Dept. added an additional date to the Concert in the Park summer series for Thursday, July 4.

The tunes will be flowing well ahead of the fireworks, giving visitors the chance to be entertained while grabbing a great seat at Jaycee Park for the nighttime event. The Morehead City fireworks are set to go off at 9pm and can be enjoyed from any vantage point on the waterfront. It’s best to arrive early to get a good spot.

Beaufort takes an old-fashioned approach to the holidays with families, businesses and clubs taking to the street for the annual

Fourth of July parade.

Line the streets and watch the patriotic floats at 11am then head to the Carteret County Courthouse for free ice cream and music.

Along Bogue Banks, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle both host fireworks displays. Atlantic Beach holds its display at the Circle, with parking around the circle, in the CAMA lot on West Boardwalk, the dirt lot north of Atlantic Boulevard and the paved lot to the south as well as the grassy lot on the 100 block of East Bogue. The town recommends carpooling, walking or biking to help with traffic congestion. Fireworks begin at 9pm and should be seen from nearby oceanfront locations and neighborhoods.

The Emerald Isle Fireworks are launched off the Bogue Inlet Pier. Parking is available at the pier and along Hwy 58. The display begins at 9pm and should be visible from Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway.

We do transformations.

Old Homes Tour & More

The homes and gardens of the historic seaside village of Beaufort will be opening doors for the 59th annual Old Homes & Gardens Tour on June 28-29. The annual tour, a fundraiser for the Beaufort Historical Association, features 13 of Beaufort’s beautiful private homes, 10 glorious gardens and multiple local churches and artists’ studios throughout the town.

The houses on the tour include: the home of Debbie & Johnny Watkins, 101 Broad St.; the home of Joan & Prentiss Baker, 104 Gallants Lane; the home of Sandy Grotheer, 212 Ann St.; the home of Patricia and Tony Rodriguez, 207 Moore St.; the home of Gail & Steve Bishop, Dill House c. 1895, 131 Craven St.; the home of Ann & Dexter Matthews, Susie E. Moore House c. 1908, 606 Ann St.; the home of Mary & John Phillips, 206 Marsh St.; the home of Fritzie & Jamie Green, 811 Ann St.; the home of Kathie & Robert Terwilliger, 815 Ann St.; the home of Bobby & Phil Lane, 812 Ann St.; the home of Christine & Stephen Klein, 907 Ann St.; the home of Will Madison & Steven Kicklighter, Marianna Willis House, c. 1872, 1007 Ann St.; and the home of Ruth & Steve Puckett, 104 Fulford St. “This year, especially after Hurricane Florence, those who live here are passionate about welcoming back our visitors,” noted Patricia Suggs, executive director of the BHA. “Even though we’ve suffered so much damage and so many of us aren’t even back in our homes, we are very resilient. Our visitors are what help us realize what a special place it is that we get to call home, and we’re proud to open our doors and share with them.”

Tickets for the Old Homes Tour are $20 and are on sale now at the Beaufort Historic Site as well as online at www.beaufothistoricsite. org.

From small cottages to beautiful waterfront homes and quaint gardens, this year’s tour will also feature many new accompanying events, including a musical concert, the annual Kick Off party, a Literary Luncheon at the Coral Bay Club and a closing Jazz Brunch featuring a New Orleans interior designer. These events were added to compliment the tour and to offer guest more events to enjoy while visiting the town of Beaufort for the Old Homes Tour.

Last year was the first try at the new events according to Suggs.

“The events last year were extremely popular and all were sold out well in advance,” she said. “Visitors loved the emphasis on history, literature and Southern design, which we are bringing back again this year with our renowned speakers. Part of the fun of bringing in guests of this caliber is not only seeing how much attendees loved them, but also how much they love the small town of Beaufort and the surrounding area.”

Starting off the events for the Old Homes Tour is the annual Kickoff Party on Saturday, June 8 featuring great food, art by featured artist Jim Carson and the fourth annual Bartenders Challenge. Join the Beaufort Historical Association in thanking the homeowners and sponsors at this social event, tickets are $35.

The Literary Luncheon at the Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach, held on Wednesday, June 27, will feature New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry, the author of 15 novels, including the historical fiction, “Becoming Mrs. Lewis - The Improbable Love Story of Joy Davidman and C.S. Lewis.” Her latest Southern fiction novel, “The Favorite Daughter,” is coming out June 4, just a few weeks before the luncheon. Tickets are $40 and are limited, so be sure to reserve early!

A free evening choir concert at Purvis Chapel will takes place at 7pm on Thursday, June 27 paying tribute to Old Homes Tour Honorary Chairs Joyce and Fred McCune.

Wrapping up the Old Homes Tour events will be a closing Jazz Brunch at 11am on Sunday, June 30 at the private home of Deborah 14

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

and Charles Llewellyn. Tickets for this special brunch are $85 and feature a presentation by New Orleans interior designer Robert LeLeux with his latest book, “Southern Style Now,” along with catering provided by Scarborough Fare.

Robert Leleux is a well know designer and founder of the Southern Style Now festival in Charleston. He is a former editor of Domino Magazine and Lonny Magazine and has written essays and articles for The New York Times, The New York Times Magazine and The Huffington Post. In his new book, he showcases the fresh take on interiors from the next generations of Southern decorators which, according to one review, combine family heirlooms with flea market finds, antiques with IKEA and grandmother’s silver with flashing neon signs. He explains how these talented rising stars are redefining the county’s most tradition-minded territory.

Recently voted the best small town in the South by “Southern Living Magazine,” visitors will see firsthand why Beaufort is the small seaport town with the big Southern heart.

Tickets for the Old Homes Tour and accompanying events are on sale now and can be purchased at the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center, 130 Turner St. in downtown Beaufort, by calling 252-728-5225 or visiting www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

chamber connection Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Chambers Welcomes Vacationers

T

he Carteret County Chamber of Commerce is now operating in “full summer mode,” according to Board Chair John Hagle. “We are reminding visitors, second home owners and all others that we are the ‘Official Chamber of Summer’ at the Crystal Coast.

“The staff is committed to offering the highest quality of customer service to all who seek our assistance,” he added.

One of the perks of visiting downtown Morehead City during the summer season is that if the temperature on the town’s sidewalks reaches 93 degrees, the chamber is the place where you can stop in, enjoy the air conditioning, cool off, and peruse all the information we have in our lobby. Just step inside chamber headquarters at 801 Arendell St., Morehead City.

Let the chamber’s 2019 Business Directory be your guide on where to eat and where to shop. Carteret County is known for having some of the best dining spots in eastern North Carolina.

Chamber staff is always eager to offer their suggestions for a great family itinerary of places to see, places to go and things to do at the Crystal Coast and in Carteret County. Travel the waterways and backroads for adventure, history and to discover coastal treasures.

Cape Lookout National Seashore is at the top of the list. The present Cape Lookout Lighthouse was completed in 1859 and has an overall height of 169 feet. The signal light, which flashes every 15 seconds, is visible for 19 miles. It is the only lighthouse known

to have a black and white diagonal, checkerboard daymark pattern that indicates compass direction.

When sailors saw a black lighthouse with a white diamond pattern, that meant the ship was sailing east or west. When sailors saw a white lighthouse with a black diamond, that meant the ship was sailing south or north.

For the sons and daughters of Core Banks, the lighthouse just means home. Learn all about it at the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum & Heritage Center on Harkers Island. Vacationers can drive their cars to Harkers Island. Then take the ferry over to the Cape … and back!

One of the highlights of summer is the Chamber’s Reverse Drawing on Saturday, Aug. 17, which is a casual dinner party at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City. Tickets are $100 each, which admits two people for the evening’s festivities and open bar. Plus, each ticket holder has a chance to win the grand prize of $10,000 in cold, hard cash. The theme this year will be Saddle Up – A Night at the Rodeo.

This is the chamber’s primary fundraising event of the year, and a good time is always had by all.

For more information, call the chamber at (800) 622-6278 or (252) 726-6350. E-mail requests may be sent to tom@nccoastchamber. com. The chamber office is located at 801 Arendell St., Suite 1, Morehead City, NC 28557.

Welcoming Summer

J

une is a great month in Emerald Isle. It is the beginning of summer, the weather will be warm and it is a great time to go to the beach.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Interim Town Manager Randy Martin for the outstanding job he has done as our interim manager. Randy is such a warm and caring person and it has been my pleasure and honor to have worked with Randy for the past 7 months. He is just a wonderful person and his work and dedication is very appreciated. Thanks Randy for a job well done. I will miss working with you! May God bless you in your future endeavors. You have made a difference in Emerald Isle!

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Matthew R. (Matt) Zapp as our new town manager. He will begin his duties on Wednesday, June 12. Matt comes to us from Benson where he has served as town manager since 2010. Before that he served as village administrator of Madison Village, Ohio. He served in that capacity from 2005-2010. Matt holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Akron and a master’s degree from UNC-Wilmington. He has held many different positions of leadership in his local community and in other organizations. Matt is married and he is the father of six children. I would like to welcome Matt and his family to Emerald Isle.

Please join me in welcoming Matt to our town.

Ocean Safety Update

Eastern Emerald Isle Beach Re-nourishment Project Update

I am elated to report that the Eastern Emerald Isle beach renourishment project dredging and sand pumping effort has been completed. The contractor, Great Lakes Dock & Dredge, met project requirements and wrapped-up the basic elements before the April 30 completion deadline and within the project budget.

Once the sand aspects of the project were complete, dune plantings began in the project area consisting of sea oats (predominantly) and bitter panicum (sparsely). The public is reminded to PLEASE STAY OFF THE DUNES so that these plantings have a chance to survive. The town has begun putting in a post and rope system at each public access to define paths to the beach that avoid the dune plantings. Signs will also be posted at access points reminding people to stay off the dunes. This is especially important until the plantings are well established. The town is also focused on restoring the damaged access point stairs and walkways now that the sand profile has been established. We anticipate those elements to be complete in May. The Town of Emerald Isle expresses its appreciation to our partners in this endeavor including Carteret County representing the Salter Path community, the Town of Indian Beach, the Beach Commission and County Shore Protection Office with a special “shout out” to Beach Protection Officer Greg “Rudi” Rudolph who once again did an outstanding job helping to ensure the project’s success.

The project engineer Moffat & Nichol and the contractor did an outstanding job in their respective roles on this project as well. Likewise, the town staff involved did an exceptional job.

I would like to thank the representatives of the various state and federal regulatory agencies whose cooperation contributed to the successful completion of the project within the established timelines and without any adverse impacts on the environment. I also congratulate the Town Board of Commissioners and the Carteret County Board of Commissioners respectively for their support and trust which allowed the project to become a reality this year.

I particularly want to thank all the impacted property owners in the project area for their financial support over the years, and their involvement, feedback, cooperation and patience during this project. The project was, in my opinion, a “win-win” for all parties involved and provides a great template for how to correctly do the next planned project for the rest of Emerald Isle’s beaches in late 2019 and into 2020.

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

With the eastern section of beach being renourished and other municipal infrastructure repairs being addressed, Emerald Isle is rapidly returning to a near state of normalcy following the significant impacts of Hurricane Florence last fall.

This is important as the town readies itself to being fully “Open for Business” for summer 2019.

As the busy 2019 tourism season ramps up, however, town officials want to reiterate safety precautions for our visitors and residents. Town emergency responders have already performed ocean rescues earlier than normal this year during storm events in the early spring, and they strongly desire to do everything possible to provide safety information and timely updates to hopefully avoid undesirable and even tragic outcomes like some of the experiences of the past year.

To this end, the town is reviewing its prior year public education practices and evaluating new approaches including promoting the use of additional technologies to better achieve optimum results.

monitor all safety alerts on weather and follow the town’s social media platforms while planning trips or visiting Emerald Isle.

Additional updates on other safety promotion initiatives will be forthcoming as the season progresses.

Be Aware of Ocean Conditions, and Stay Safe!

The town is fortunate to be served by a quality team of lifeguards and trained Fire and EMS personnel that respond to numerous water rescue calls throughout the summer. Emerald Isle has ~ 12 miles of ocean beaches, and it’s impossible for town staff to be everywhere on the beach strand, so PLEASE make sure you are aware of current ocean conditions, know your abilities and enjoy the ocean with a friend or family member.

The fire department (which manages the lifeguard program) relies on National Weather Service advisories AND local observations to gauge current ocean conditions in Emerald Isle. The town utilizes a YELLOW FLAG and RED FLAG warning system to communicate ocean conditions to those visiting the beach. The town’s normal status is communicated with YELLOW FLAGs, which indicate moderate hazards. Although it’s a great place to enjoy yourself, the ocean consistently presents some risk and the public is always advised to use caution while enjoying the ocean. As conditions warrant, YELLOW FLAGs are displayed at the Eastern Ocean Regional Access, Western

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

Ocean Regional Access, Bogue Inlet Pier, on roving all-terrain vehicles, and in front of Fire Station 1 and Fire Station 2.

When conditions deteriorate and become more dangerous, the town utilizes RED FLAGs to communicate high hazards and advise the public to stay out of the ocean. At the start of the summer season, RED FLAGs are displayed at every beach access location (roughly every 1/4 mile +/-), at the Eastern Ocean Regional Access, Western Ocean Regional Access, Bogue Inlet Pier, on roving all-terrain vehicles, and in front of Fire Station 1 and Fire Station 2. RED FLAG status is also communicated via the town’s various digital platforms (website, email newsletter, the Emerald Isle APP, facebook, Twitter, and text message alerts). PLEASE heed the RED FLAG warnings when they are issued – if you choose to enter the ocean anyway you are not only putting yourself at risk, but also concerned bystanders and the town’s water rescue personnel!

In addition to staffing the beach with two fixed and four roving lifeguards each day during the summer, the town also provides “rescue tubes” at beach access locations to assist those in distress. Other beachgoers should only use these rescue tubes if they are physically capable of responding to others in distress and when 911 has also been alerted – so our trained fire and EMS personnel can respond as quickly as possible.

For more information on beach safety, please visit www. emeraldisle-nc.org/safety. Stay safe, and have fun!

NCDOT Crossing Improvements on Emerald Drive

NCDOT crews and contractors have completed the longawaited installation of previously approved and state-funded Pedestrian Crossing Signage & Lighting improvements in front of the town administrative building and in the vicinity of the Fire Station #2 facility in the eastern section of town. The new signage features solar powered push button technology that activates flashing safety lighting to alert vehicles approaching the crossings.

We are pleased that these are now operational well before the traditional kickoff of the heaviest of the tourist season. I thank NCDOT officials for making this needed improvement happen this spring.

In closing, it continues to be my good fortune to serve Emerald Isle as interim town manager. Thank you to the many citizens who use this publication as a means of providing feedback and for the support many of you have provided during my tenure.

Feel free to share this information with other interested parties and let them know that the town will be happy to add others to our distribution list if they desire.

The Last Battleground

252-354-5323

By Philip Gerard

North Carolina Governor Zeb Vance said in the early part of the Civil War, “To prosecute the war with success there is quite as much for our people as for our soldiers to do.” This line could well serve as an introduction to Philip Gerard’s new book on the Civil War as it was fought and lived in our state. The conflict was more than battles. It was a long struggle by many people from all kinds of backgrounds. Gerard, professor of creative writing at UNC Wilmington, has produced an informative anthology based on articles first published in Our State magazine.

Gerard has proven to be an historian as well as a talented writer. He has produced a powerful narrative which brings to life the events, places, and people of North Carolina in the 1860s. He has masterfully presented the convergence of events through glimpses of the people who lived through them. The characters are central to this account of life in the midst of social disorder and sacrifice.

The author examines the toll the war took on the women who suffered from inflated prices of goods and lack of manpower to work the farms.

Of course, he also reports the hardships of the soldiers who fought, often hungry and poorly outfitted.

Readers learn about Sister Mary Ignatius Grant one of the Sisters of Mercy who tended the sick and wounded in New Bern. There is James Johnston Pettigrew from Tyrell County and graduate of UNC Chapel Hill who led in Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg, a scholar warrior. Siamese twins Chang and Eng Bunker’s sons fought in the war, the conjoined brothers who died after the war, never separated.

Another of the many vignettes tells of Abraham Galloway who led 10,000 freed slaves in New Bern and who after the war became a state senator. These are but a few of the hundreds of people covered in this detailed history.

“The Last Battleground” is a great read, especially for those interested in North Carolina history. Gerard describes the many places in our state touched significantly by the war such as the fall of Wilmington, the battle for New Bern, and the conclusive combat at Bentonville. He writes of Kinston during the period, a raucous boomtown of factories, prostitutes, and plenty of whiskey. There is the awesome image of Sherman’s army marching through the state, fifty miles wide with “more guns, more horses, more food, more medicine, more ammunition, and more confidence and hope” than their Confederate opponents.

At the start of the Civil War there were 331,000 slaves in North Carolina and 3,000 freed blacks. These and other facts are eye opening for any who read this valuable depiction of how life existed in our past and the personal toll the war took on our proud state.

Coastal Critters Local Wildlife Nominated to Represent State It’s always dicey trying to predict what the North Carolina General Assembly is going to do, especially as summer approaches. As the temperatures rise outdoors, tempers also can flare up indoors in the legislative chambers.

There is a very good chance, however, that three coastal critters – the osprey, the loggerhead sea turtle and the bottlenose dolphin – will be become official state symbols before the legislature adjourns.

(If not, we’ll push on and try, try again in the 2020 session.)

Two of the bills were sponsored by State Representatives Pat McElraft, R-Emerald Isle, of Carteret County, and Frank Iler, R-Shallotte, of Brunswick County.

H.B. 39 seeks to “adopt the Osprey as the official raptor of the State of North Carolina.” H.B. 169 calls for the Loggerhead Sea Turtle to be designated as the state’s “official saltwater reptile.” (Rep. Carson Smith, R-Hampstead, of Pender County, is also listed as a primary sponsor of H.B. 169).

Additionally, H.B. 598 advocates that the bottlenose dolphin become North Carolina’s “state marine mammal.” The proposal’s primary sponsors are: Rep. Holly Grange, R-Wilmington, of New Hanover County; and Bobby Hanig, R-Powells Point, of Currituck County.

This is a distinguished trio of treasured living creatures that are near and dear to residents and visitors to the Crystal Coast. Certainly, each is deserving of the lofty status as “state symbols” within the annals and general statutes of North Carolina.

The “Osprey Bill” got off to a fast start. It passed unanimously in the state House of Representatives on March 27. The vote was 111-0.

Magnificent in flight, the osprey has a wingspan that measures up to 6 feet. Ospreys have earned the reputation as “Fishermen of the Seas” because they are the only raptors that plunge into water feet first at a speed of 30 miles per hour or greater to grasp fish with their specially equipped talons.

Ospreys are diurnal birds of prey that hunt during daylight hours, using their keen eyesight to focus on locating fish just below the surface of the water. Ospreys are unique among North American raptors, feeding almost exclusively on live fish with a diet that includes about 80 different species of saltwater and freshwater fish.

Ospreys are one of the most easily observed birds of prey, because they use brush, driftwood, sticks, twigs and other debris to build large, bulky nests in dead trees along waterways or in manmade structures over open water, such as channel markers.

The “Loggerhead Bill,” with 13 co-sponsors, has bipartisan support. The loggerhead is the most common sea turtle on the North Carolina coast, capable of living 50 or more years and growing up 30

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

to 4 feet in length and weighing more than 250 pounds. The Ocean Conservancy reports that the loggerhead is so named because of its “massive head, as big and sturdy as a log. Its strong jaws can crunch through the hard shells of crustaceans and mollusks.”

These turtles don’t reach sexual maturity until about age 35.

Loggerheads will mate in coastal regions about every two or three years, and females make their way back to the exact beach where they were born, also known as their “natal” beach.

The NC Sea Turtle Project, run by the Division of Wildlife Management, says that loggerheads typically begin their nesting season on North Carolina’s beaches in May. “Each nest, or clutch, contains approximately 120 eggs roughly the size of a ping pong ball. The female will crawl ashore and dig a chamber in the sand about 1-2 feet deep. Once the eggs are deposited, she covers them up with sand; the nest is completely camouflaged.”

“A female turtle will return every two weeks or so to lay another clutch of eggs. She may lay between four to seven clutches in one season. Once laid, the eggs incubate for approximately 60 days, but nests laid early in the season could take up to 100 days, to hatch or boil.”

The “Bottlenose Dolphin Bill” cleared the House on April 25. The vote was unanimous, 108-0.

The bill states: “Bottlenose dolphins are marine mammals that are abundant along North Carolina’s coastline, and with their short, thick beak and a curved mouth, they appear to be always smiling.

Bottlenose dolphins are usually gray in color and can range from 6 to 13 feet long. They are social animals that travel in groups of 10-15, called pods.”

Sleek and streamlined, bottlenose dolphins can sprint at a speed approaching 20 miles per hour, but they can also endure 100-mile swims each day, at a cruising speed between 3-7 miles per hour.

They will surface to breathe two or three times a minute.

The Ocean Conservancy reports that these dolphins possess “an

intricate system for communicating called echolocation, which uses the reflection of sound to track its prey, usually bottom-dwelling fish as well as shrimp and squid. A female dolphin and her calf typically stay together for three to six years.

Existing State Symbols Should Fear Not Consideration being given to the adoption of the osprey, loggerhead sea turtle and bottlenose dolphin as new state symbols poses absolutely no threat whatsoever to species that have already been “enshrined” as official state critters.

For example, proposing the osprey as the “official state raptor” presents no danger to the cardinal, which is the “official state bird.”

Steven Case retired about a year ago as senior reference librarian with the State Library of North Carolina. His essays about the “state symbols” have become official postings on the state library’s NCPedia website.

The legislature voted in the cardinal as state bird in 1943. It was the “people’s choice” in a contest held by the North Carolina Bird Club. The dove came in second, Case said.

The first official state bird, however, was selected in 1933, when the North Carolina Federation of Women’s Clubs recommended the Carolina chickadee as the official state bird,” Case reported.

“Just a week later, the resolution was repealed. The chickadee’s nickname – the tomtit – was considered too undignified, and legislators balked at the idea that North Carolina might become known as the ‘Tomtit State.’” (Yes, that would have been quite dreadful.)

Similarly, suggesting the loggerhead turtle become the “official state saltwater reptile” does not jeopardize the eastern box turtle’s status as the “official state reptile.”

Eastern box turtles can be found everywhere in North Carolina, but they are rarely found along the Outer Banks. They are not very big, growing up to six inches in length. The box turtle was named

for its ability to completely “box up” inside its shell when it feels threatened.

Case wrote: The eastern box turtle “was sponsored in 1979 by Rep. Chris Barker of New Bern. At the time, he claimed the turtle was the best representative to become the official reptile of North Carolina because it’s … the ultimate example of patience and North Carolina’s unrelenting pursuit of goals.”

The bill came under considerable debate, however. Case reported: “Alligators, lizards and snakes were proposed as alternatives by various representatives, but the bill eventually passed in the House with a vote of 102 to 4.”

To help sway state senators, a 12-year-old boy from Cary brought two of his seven pet box turtles to share with the legislators. The bill passed in the Senate with little fanfare, although one senator voted no “because he didn’t think the turtle was a good representation of North Carolina’s progressiveness,” Case wrote.

The bill included a cleverly written preamble: “The turtle, which at a superficial glance appears to be a mundane and uninteresting creature, is actually a most fascinating creature. The turtle watches undisturbed as countless generations of faster hares run by to quick oblivion.”

Choosing the bottlenose dolphin as the “official state marine mammal,” likewise presents no threat to the existing “official state mammal,” which is the gray squirrel.

Found in all 100 counties within North Carolina, the gray squirrel was sponsored in 1969 by Rep. Basil Barr of Ashe County. He characterized the small mammal as “courageous and thrifty.”

Legislators agreed, as the bill experienced no serious opposition in either chamber, Case stated.

“During the autumn, squirrels ‘scatter hoard’ nuts, providing an ongoing means of reforestation, since many of the nuts they bury remain uneaten, and so have a chance to germinate.”

Who is on Your Health Team?

W

e have been hitting the “value your health” speech hard lately. But that is how passionate we are about educating the public on ways to build lifelong health.

Today’s topic is going one step further and building your health team.

The health professionals you put in your corner have a direct impact on your personal health. Each person of your team evaluates, coaches, and treats a different piece of your wellbeing. Therefore, it is important you chose coaches who most align with your beliefs and core health values. We often forget we have a direct say and options in who belongs on our healthcare team. Interview and research each potential member of your team. Ask about their credentials, ask current and previous patients/clients about their experience. Does this professional practice what they preach? If they don’t, will you be able to respect them? Are they available to answer your questions?

Do they practice preventative care? Do they offer long term options or is it simply on an as needed basis?

Once you have established what you are looking for in a health care professional you can start assembling your team. Naturally the first person everyone looks for is their physician. They will be the main coach, leading your treatment and preventative care. Next, an exercise professional and dietitian are vital additions to your health team. I highly encourage you to have these health team members

work together and communicate well. Here at Crystal Coast Wellness and Performance Center we work with multiple physicians, PA’s and nurse practitioners in the area and it increases effectiveness. Each team member can concentrate on their discipline thereby increasing the opportunities for success with each client and patient. Other team members may include chiropractors, acupuncturists, physical therapists and health coaches.

When you assemble a team, you’re putting an investment and value into your health. You increase the possibility of success. There are many articles published about the effectiveness of health on your mood, longevity of life, decreased prevalence of some disease and overall well-being. There are also articles citing cost benefit rations for every dollar spent there is an approximate overall savings.

Generically the average is approximately $10 saved for every $1 spent on preventative health. Now, I am not a great mathematician, but I understand saving money and I definitely appreciate getting a $10 bill for every $1 I spend!

If you need help or guidance building your team, we are here to help. We would love the opportunity to explain our approach to wellness and core values to you.

health & wellness Mayo Clinic Q&A - Unexplained Fainting Dear Mayo Clinic: I had a fainting spell the other day, which had never happened to me before in my 64 years. I don’t feel unwell, but a friend I was with at the time insists I should see my doctor. Is that necessary? What would they be looking for?

A: Yes, make an appointment to see your health care provider.

Fainting, or passing out – a temporary loss of consciousness also known as syncope – is caused by insufficient blood flow to the brain. Some causes of syncope are fairly benign, such as from dehydration, or during a frightening or uncomfortable event, such as a blood draw. But there are potentially serious and even lifethreatening causes, including heart and neurological conditions, especially in adults over 60.

Your health care provider likely will perform a detailed history to look for any medical, environmental or behavioral factors that may have caused you to faint. For example, missed doses of a medication, prolonged standing or anxiety in a crowd may contribute to syncope.

A physical examination may offer important clues, as well. This includes measurement of your blood pressure and heart rate, listening to your heart, and completing a neurological exam.

Syncope occurs when your blood pressure falls too low, which may occur when your heart rate is excessively fast or slow, such as with an arrhythmia. Examples of heart disturbances that could cause syncope include bradycardia, a slower-than-normal heart rate; tachycardia, a faster-than-normal heart rate while at rest; and aortic stenosis, a narrowing of the heart’s aortic valves. Neurological conditions such as a seizure or a transient ischemic attack, often called a “ministroke,” also can result in loss of consciousness.

A condition known as vasovagal syncope, sometimes called “neurocardiogenic syncope,” occurs when you faint as a result of your body overreacting to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. The trigger causes the part of your nervous system that regulates heart rate and blood pressure to drop suddenly, reducing blood flow to the brain and causing you to faint.

A detailed history and exam may identify the cause of syncope.

Often, an EKG or additional heart testing also will be recommended to look for any abnormal heart rhythms. Other tests may include a complete blood count, electrolyte panel, and tests of your blood sugar and thyroid function. You may be referred for a heart ultrasound (echocardiogram), stress test or tilt table test. If you took a hard fall, imaging tests may be performed to look for fractures or other trauma.

Management of syncope depends on the underlying cause. Most often it involves learning to avoid triggers and recognize warning signs. Pay attention if you begin to feel lightheaded, dizzy or clammy, or if you have unusual sweating, nausea or heart palpitations. Sit or lie down until you feel stable or are able to call for assistance. Be sure to be evaluated if this occurs.

The fainting spell you experienced may be a one-time occurrence, but it’s still in your best interest to see your health care provider so he or she can determine what, if anything, should be done to explore the cause further.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayor’s notes Mayor Trace Cooper

Events Shape a Community

B

each Music is woven deeply in the fabric of Atlantic Beach.

We are one of the few places with a legitimate claim to being the birthplace of the iconic dance, The Shag. So, several years ago when we began planning events to bring people to our town, we started with a Beach Music festival. We saw the festival as an economic development engine and also something that reinforced our brand as a classic, small town beach.

What stated as a one-day festival has grown into Beach Music Week. This year’s event, running from Monday, May 13 to Saturday, May 19, features multiple concerts, DJ and dancing events, and a Beach Music Pub Crawl. In presenting a week of events we partner with local organizations such as the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce as well as many Atlantic Beach businesses.

I write about it now, not to promote the events themselves, but rather to explain why a small, local government has put itself in the event promotion business. Several years ago, we developed a strategy to use events to draw people to Atlantic Beach in our shoulder seasons – the spring and the fall. And, we also knew that our main beach along the boardwalk was a great place to host events. These events have the added benefit of drawing people back to the Circle at a time when the area was passing through a period of redevelopment. We have held weekly events, such as our Seaside Cinema movie nights in the summer. We have held sporting events, such as the Tuna Run 200 and CycleNC. But the Beach

Music Festival has been our biggest success so far and is a perfect example of the impact the right kind of event can have on our town.

Beach Music Week culminates on the Saturday before Memorial Day Weekend. We scheduled it then in order to extend our summer season by an extra week. Most of our hotels, motels, restaurants, rentals and shops are at capacity between Memorial Day Weekend and Labor Day Weekend. By holding the festival before this traditional summer season, we bring people to town and to our businesses for an additional few days of high-season. This year, that is something our local businesses can certainly use.

Bringing events to town started as an economic development initiative. But has also helped us become a more hospitality driven organization – something I wrote about in these pages a couple months ago. We no longer program events simply to draw more tourists to town, we are creating experiences for everyone – residents and visitors alike. We do this help make Atlantic Beach a great place all year long.

We are a small, southern beach town. Each of these elements – being a small town, being in the American South, and being a beach destination – adds its own thread of hospitality to who we are. So, like Beach Music, hospitality is woven deeply in the fabric of Atlantic Beach. And, that is a combination about which we should be excited.

Summertime Kids

Encourage Children to Love Music Music education can have a profound impact on children.

According to PBS, research has found that learning music facilitates learning other subjects, enhancing skills children will inevitably use elsewhere.

The benefits of music education might be even more tangible than that. A 2004 study published in the journal Psychological Science found that six-year-olds who were given weekly voice and piano lessons benefitted from small increase in IQs. Groups that received drama lessons or no lessons at all experienced no such increases.

Additional studies have linked music education to other benefits.

The Children’s Music Workshop notes that research has shown that musical training physically develops the part of the brain associated with processing language.

These are just a handful of the ways music education can positively impact young minds. Parents who want their children to reap these rewards and more can take these steps to encourage a love of music in their children.

Cut a rug with your kids. Children are bundles of energy who want to expend as much of that energy as possible. Dancing along to music is a great way for kids to use it up. Kids might not be able to waltz or dance an Irish jig, but many love to jump up and down.

If they begin to associate music and dancing with jumping up and down, they’re more likely to smile when mom and dad crank up the stereo.

Sing and encourage kids to sing along. Kids won’t know if their

parents are classically trained opera singers or performers whose vocal talents are best restricted to the shower. Singing along to favorite songs may encourage kids to follow suit, allowing them to learn words and language. Singing also is a fun activity kids are sure to embrace, making them look forward to daily music sessions.

Let kids be the DJ. When you start playing music, keep a close on children to see how they react to different types of music. If they seem to favor one style over another, play that favorite style more often. If they tend to like it all, continue to expand their horizons, which many even open your eyes to musical styles and acts you’d never consider otherwise.

Let kids participate in music. Especially young children might not be able to pick up a guitar and make it sing, but that doesn’t mean they can’t participate. Purchase age-appropriate instruments for your children the moment they start playing with toys. Their curiosity might compel them to embrace musical lessons as they grow older. In addition, look for children’s musical events in your community, whether it’s a sing-along at the local library or an introduction to musical instruments at a nearby community center.

Music can enrich kids’ lives in various ways, and it’s never too early to encourage a love of music.

Summertime Kids

5 Reason Why Summer Camp is Good for Kids Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school. Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today’s youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices.

Perhaps that’s why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape – summer camp – remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends.

Although kids needn’t be in camp all summer long, a week or two can benefit campers of all ages. The following are five reasons why summer camp might be the right fit this year.

1.

Explore talents. Summer camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often

easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere.

2.

Physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend

their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. This can be a welcome change for kids accustomed to living sedentary lifestyles. Regular physical activity has many

Want to make a splash this summer?

health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult.

3.

Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed.

Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students.

4.

Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments

or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children.

5.

Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools.

Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

Camp Happy Kids of Carteret County Camp Happy Kids is a 501(c)(3) organization benefiting the children of our community. Our vision is to provide summer camp experiences, birthday parties, holiday fun and travel adventures to children whose families or living circumstances may not be conducive to providing these experiences.

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

Don't Let Sunburn Derail Summer Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health.

That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside.

Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says more than onethird of adults and nearly 70 percent of children admit to suffering from sunburn within the past year. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.

Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. According to WebMD, ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers.

It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, it is best for people of all ages to exercise caution when spending time in the sun.

Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime

ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn is simple.

The Mayo Clinic says the sun’s rays are the strongest between 10am and 4pm, so schedule outdoor activities for other times of day.

Otherwise, limit exposure to the sun and take frequent breaks in the shade.

Wear protective clothing that covers the arms and legs. Some outdoor gear is designed to offer sun protection. Tightly woven fabrics tend to help the most.

Apply – and reapply – sunscreen. Look for products that offer an SPF of 15 or greater. The American Academy of Dermatology actually recommends an SPF of 30 or greater. Make sure the product is broad-spectrum, meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays.

Apply sunscreen thoroughly, paying attention to the tops of feet, hands and other places that tend to go untreated. Reapply every two hours or more frequently, if necessary.

Base tans do not protect the skin. Research does not support the habit of getting a tan to prevent subsequent sunburn.

Protect the face and eyes by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and highly rated UV protection sunglasses.

The Skin Cancer Foundation says a person’s risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has had five or more sunburns. Use protection, stay hydrated and play it smart to enjoy summer to the fullest.

Recognizing Heat Stroke in Dogs Summer is a great time of year for people and their pets to enjoy the great outdoors and soak up some sun. Just as men and women exercise caution by applying sunscreen and staying hydrated on hot summer days, dog owners must take steps to protect their fourlegged friends when bringing them outdoors.

Heat stroke can pose a serious threat to dogs on hot days. Dog owners who routinely take their pets outdoors in summer must learn how to protect canines from heat stroke and how to recognize its symptoms.

What is heat stroke? Dogs suffer from heat stroke when their body temperatures exceed 104 F and the built-in mechanisms they rely on to cool themselves – including panting – cease to function properly.

But any temperature 103 F or above is considered abnormal.

According to PetMD, heat stroke is a form of non-fever hyperthermia that can lead to multiple organ dysfunction.

Is heat stroke immediately evident? Heat stroke can overwhelm dogs quickly, so dog owners should be especially diligent and watch their dogs closely when they are spending time outside on hot days. Dogs may first suffer from mild heat-related stress or moderate exhaustion before they begin experiencing the more severe symptoms of heat stroke, so dog owners should look for signs of stress or fatigue and bring their dogs inside immediately after noticing such symptoms. The consequences of heat stroke are severe, so dog owners should always err on the side of caution.

What are the symptoms of heat stroke? Dogs that are overheating and potentially suffering from heat stroke may exhibit a number of symptoms. Such symptoms are typically easy to spot, but dog owners still must pay close attention to their four-legged

friends during summertime walks or play sessions in the backyard.

According to the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, signs that a dog is overheating include: • Panting followed by disorientation and fast, noisy breathing • Collapsing or convulsing • Bright red or blue gums • Vomiting and diarrhea Vomit and diarrhea connected to heat stroke may contain blood.

In addition, the eyes of dogs suffering from heat stroke may be glazed-over and such dogs may be unresponsive to commands, or their replies to commands may be slower than usual.

Can heat stroke be prevented? Though dogs can suffer heat stroke even on mild days, dog owners can take precautionary measures.

• Alter routines. Walking can be great exercise for dogs, but on hot days dog owners can walk their dogs when temperatures tend to be at their most mild, such as in the early morning hours or evenings when the sun is setting or has already set.

• Limit play time. Dogs generate heat when playing and exercising, and their body temperatures may rise considerably on hot summer days. To reduce dogs’ risk of heat stroke, limit play time on hot days.

• Don’t travel with dogs. Temperatures can be unbearable inside vehicles, so dog owners should not take their dogs along when running errands on hot days.

Dog owners must be especially mindful of their dogs’ behavior on hot days. Protecting dogs from extreme heat can safeguard them from heat stroke, which can be fatal.

Beach Safety What we can Learn from Beach Towns As we approach the summer season of 2019 many of us look forward to endless visits to our beautiful beaches and swimming in the cool waters of the ocean. While those are great memories to create, not being prepared for the ocean environment can also create memories many would like to forget. The most first tragedy of the season was on April 19 when two teenage swimmers were caught up in dangerous surf in Emerald Isle. While one person was rescued after being underwater for what was reported as nearly 15 minutes, the other remained at sea with his young body being recovered several days later nearly 7 miles from where he disappeared. The rescued victim succumbed to her conditions and passed away several days later.

One only needs to reflect back to last summer when the Emerald Isle beaches experienced nearly two weeks from hell seeing some of the most continuous, relentless and dangerous surf in recent memory.

Town officials launched several protocols such as “red flagging” the beach, road signage warnings of dangerous and deadly surf, town manager emails to residents along with lifeguards, police and EMS roving the beach strand warning beachgoers. Despite their best efforts innumerable people REPEATEDLY made the poor choice of ignoring those efforts and entered the ocean. There were hundreds of rescues during that timeframe and as I recall nearly 80 within one hour. We were fortunate many more people didn’t drown. Drownings were reduced because the Town of Emerald Isle was prepared as best you can for the uncertainties of Mother Nature! These tragic events serve as a solemn reminder of how unforgiving the ocean waters can be.

Our beaches, especially the Town of Emerald Isle, are blessed with a well-coordinated first responder dispatch to emergencies, particularly ocean rescues. The current lifeguard team, thanks to the efforts of Emerald Isle Fire Department Chief Billy Walker and his staff, now boast a healthy compliment of exceptionally skilled rescuers. It was not always the case. When I was part of the then Emerald Isle Beach Patrol in 2007-2011 we had approximately 5-7 summer “guards” with only two on each day roving the beach in motorized vehicles supporting the fire department personnel.

Today, the town has stationary lifeguard posts at each end of the beach; the Eastern and Western Regional Public Access areas with generally two lifeguards on a fixed stand. As I understand it, there are two roving beach vehicles on each side of the Bogue Inlet Pier and a roving lifeguard supervisor traversing the entire beach strand.

The lifeguard staff is supported by the police department’s roving beach patrol.

The two fixed lifeguard stands, police and lifeguard beach vehicles, Bogue Inlet Pier and both fire department locations display a colored flag indicating the surf conditions. Also, strategically placed and anchored along the beach strand are lifeguard “rescue tubes” made available for use when needed and are used at your own risk! Last but certainly not least, the town’s EMS squad is a visible presence on our beach as well. Now there’s a three prong team approach.

Thanks to the continued efforts of town officials, particularly the fire chief, the fire department recently received national recognition when it was certified by the US Lifesaving Association, (USLA.) Folks, that’s a big deal as the USLA is the national certifying body regarding open water rescue and meeting the rigorous certification criteria is extremely challenging!

Many have heard ad nauseam about rip currents. But it simply 56

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

can’t be said enough – they’re potentially life threatening.

Knowledge is power and not having it before entering the ocean can end a life quickly. Beach safety is not that difficult and nearly all of us know the rules about rip currents. Our beach, not unlike other beaches, has an added dynamic as it faces due south. That dynamic is something called “the sweep.” The sweep is the, at times, a rapidly moving current in either an east/west direction parallel to the beach. That sweep will eventually carry you toward the shoreline.

So, should you wind up in a rip current, knowing the direction of the sweep can be a valuable piece of information when deciding which direction to swim parallel to the beach. If you choose to float in a rip current it can potentially carry you nearly a mile off-shore. Your call, remain calm and float until help arrives or immediately commence swimming with the “sweep.”

Enjoying the ocean is like many experiences in life; it’s all about choices and consequences. Choose to go online and check weather and surf conditions, storm conditions at sea, high/low tides (low tide can reveal rip current areas at high tide so pay attention), call local town/department officials and ASK! If you see a surfer, ask them as they typically look for rips to quickly get to their waves. Our surfers are some of the best adjunct lifesavers we have and they save countless swimmers in distress each year. Whether you experience an emergency on the beach or not, it’s important to know where you are so you can be located quickly if the need arises.

Choose to attend one of the beach safety classes offered by the E.I. Fire Department at 6pm on Monday, June 3; 10am on Tuesday, June 18; or 6pm on Tuesday, June 25 in the town conference room located where the police department is housed.

In closing, the USLA suggests swim near a lifeguard and thankfully we have a USLA certified fire department with the highest skillset of lifeguards helping us when needed! The fact we have a well-coordinated team of first responders is simply “icing on the cake” of beach safety. Enjoy the surf, be smart, make the right choice and you’ll likely live to do it again!

Sargasso Sea is the Atlantic Ocean Trash Heap

A

floating island of plastic-laden trash “lives” east of North Carolina in the Sargasso Sea region in the Atlantic Ocean. Named the Atlantic Ocean Garbage Patch, it’s not as big as its Pacific Ocean cousin, but it poses the same serious health risk to animals, birds, other marine life and humans.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tells us that the Sargasso Sea is the only sea without a land boundary. It is defined by ocean currents, so the Sargasso Sea’s borders are dynamic and reflect seasonal variations. The Gulf Stream, about 50 miles off the North Carolina coast, forms the Sargasso Sea’s western boundary.

Bermuda is the most identifiable prominent land mass within the Sargasso Sea region.

NOAA said: “The Sargasso Sea is named for a genus of seaweed called sargassum, which floats freely and reproduces by vegetative fragmentation on the high seas. Sargassum provides a home to an amazing variety of marine species. Turtles use sargassum mats as nurseries where hatchlings have food and shelter.”

The dark plant matter also absorbs warmth from the sun, providing healthy “thermal benefits” to young turtles.

Baby loggerhead turtles, for example, are programmed to head toward the Sargasso Sea as soon as they enter the surf. New research, however, is showing the turtles are dying because they are ingesting plastic trash that is trapped in the Sargasso Sea ocean gyre.

A gyre is a large system of circular ocean currents formed by global wind patterns and forces created by Earth’s rotation. The water circulates in a slow spiral. Winds are light and the currents tend to push any floating material into the low-energy center of the gyre. The sea garbage is in a state of never-ending rotation.

NOAA scientists refer to the gyre contents as “trash soup, a collection of pelagic plastic particles, consumer products and sludge. The plastic particles seen of the surface of the water form just a portion of what’s there, since plastic also gets pushed down below the surface.

“Since plastic doesn’t biodegrade, what is thrown into the ocean will always be there. Trillions of these plastics get trapped in the floating trash pile,” NOAA contends. Toxic chemicals that do not dissolve in water are there, too, “absorbed by plastic just like a sponge.”

Hakai Magazine, published in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, seeks to protect the world’s coastal ecosystems. An article from a December 2018 issue, authored by Allison Salerno, created quite an “environmental uproar” with its headline: “Turtles’ Tummies Found Clogged with Plastic.”

She reported: “Tiny pieces of plastic in the ocean are killing juvenile loggerhead turtles…threatening the survival of the species.”

It’s everywhere in the sargassum where the loggerhead turtles forage for food.

Research scientist Evan White of the University of Georgia at Athens and colleagues examined the gastrointestinal tracts of

52 turtles that died at only days or months old and found that 48 contained plastic, Salerno reported. The plastic bits, which were up to a millimeter wide, were sometimes lodged in the turtles’ stomachs or narrow, winding intestines, blocking the passage of food, causing the turtles to starved, she wrote.

Dr. Charles Manire, a veterinarian at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center in Juno Beach, Fla., was a partner in the research project. He and his colleagues collected 97 “wash backs” – young turtles that made it offshore and into the sargassum but were blown ashore and stranded by a storm or high winds two to six months later.

Dr. Manire’s team rehabilitated and released 45 of these turtles after treating them and giving some of those with suspected plastic blockages an enema. The dead turtles were frozen to preserve their tissues, enabling researchers to perform necropsies during which they found the plastic in their gastrointestinal tracts. The plastic was just a tiny percentage of their body weight, but enough to kill them, Salerno said.

When Dr. Manire began working as a marine veterinarian 25 years ago, he told Salerno that he would occasionally see plastic in turtles.

Now, “it’s no longer a question of if they have plastic, it’s a question of how much.”

Loggerheads and other sea turtles have always had a high mortality rate: one in every 1,000 loggerheads is estimated to survive to maturity, even without plastic pollution to contend with, Salerno said.

Dr. Manire thinks the death rate now is much higher. “It may be that the one in 1,000 number is now one in 100,000 or one in a million,” he says.

Findings from these two scientific studies show how serious the dangers of microplastic are to the survival of loggerhead turtles, says Dr. Jeanette Wyneken of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla. In understated tones, she told Salerno that plastics are “considered a pretty substantial threat to survival of the species.” The loggerhead turtles are pleading for our help – for us to come to their rescue.

e currently have 300 plus dedicated volunteers in our Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol program who give generously of their time and concern to protect the sea turtle population. In addition to Emerald Isle, there are devoted volunteers up and down the entire length of our beloved Bogue Banks. Together, we are a formidable army looking out for these threatened sea creatures.

Thankfully, in the last few years MANY businesses have joined us in the efforts to protect the sea turtles and other ocean animals. This season we, in the Emerald Isle program, want to highlight efforts being made by local businesses and groups.

Sound of the Sea installed turtle friendly lights in all the beach facing areas on their property last year.

Flipperez and Trading Post stopped giving out plastic straws unless they are requested.

Publix recently had a contest to sell reusable bags in an effort to reduce the use of plastic bags. Since 2007 they’ve saved over 6.3 BILLION paper and plastic bags!

Bogue Banks Surf Riders organize beach clean ups a couple times a year.

Muttigans gives a discount if you bring in your refillable cup!

They also have buckets they give to guests and if they fill the bucket by cleaning up the beach, they give you a free coffee when you bring the bucket back in.

Emerald Isle Reality helps to protect sea turtles in multiple ways.

They provide information to all their vacation renters. They distribute

“Lights Out” labels to remind guests to turn off the outside beachside lights. They give out cloth reusable grocery bags as well.

Emerald Isle Beach & Pool Club converted to biodegradable straws and containers.

Not specific to a business, but I’ve noticed customers in local restaurants bring and using their own metal straws! These metal straws can be easily bought online.

Many of you remember Pam Minnick. Pam was our fearless director for many years. Our hearts were broken when she passed away last year. To honor of her memory, a stranded sea turtle, rescued by Nest Response Team members Cheryl Balthrop and Susan Smith, has been named “Minnick” by the great folks at the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center.

“Minnick” will be well cared for there until such a time as she can be released back into the ocean. It is comforting to know there is still a Minnick in North Carolina.

Early June

The Quiet Start to Summer

W

hen two or more business folks gather to talk about tourism on the Crystal Coast, just mention “early June weeks” and watch the frowns, the heads start shaking no, no, no slowly back and forth all while bemoaning, “it’s the prettiest weather of the summer and there is hardly anyone here!”

Early June is known for brilliant, sunshine filled days and welcome summer warmth all with much less of the dreaded humidity than the blistering “dog days” of late July and August. Even the nights are more beautiful in early summer, with mild, soft breezes stirring the sea oats and overhead the star-filled heavens free from humidity’s haze. Beaches that were crowded just one week earlier during the Memorial Day weekend and the entire last week of May are now stunningly empty just when the summer season should be off to a jubilant start.

Vacation rental managers and vacation rental homeowners are faced with this conundrum of lower bookings at the very beginning and the very end of our summer season. Stated as economic theory, the savvy rental guests in the marketplace know the weeks preceding early June or later in August are also lovely weather-wise and the rental rate is a very favorable shoulder rate, sometimes even 50% lower than the summer seasonal rates.

Statistically, we have seen this trend for decades as our rental properties have higher occupancy the week immediately preceding or immediately following the peak summer season weekly rental rate.

Currently, we absolutely encourage our homeowners to be proactive and flexible in their pricing decisions. One very effective strategy for us has been to focus on the early weeks of June during November to try to increase demand for these weeks early by pricing them just slightly lower than the full summer season rate.

We do a follow up marketing campaign in late April or early May to try to stimulate last minute bookings. So far, this has been quite successful and we are gratified that this means we are still booking these weeks at a higher weekly average revenue than other vacation rental homes in the North Carolina market. We won’t be satisfied until we are at full occupancy like we enjoy for all the other weeks of the summer.

Now that we are just a few weeks out from the first two weeks of June, we are encouraging our homeowners still in need of bookings for this time period to offer something of added value as an enticement to secure the booking rather than deeply discounting 62

(beyond 15-25%). Among the successful promotions have been offering complimentary tickets for the entire family to the NC Aquarium, Mac Daddy’s coupons, tickets for a sunset cruise or a $50-100 gift card to be used toward a nice meal, groceries, seafood or even a tank of gas for the car. Rental guests love that they are getting a little something extra and these are much more economical as an incentive than offering a deep discount on the rental revenue.

In the meantime, if the early June time frame has been difficult to book for your vacation rental home, one of the best options of all is to consider using one of those weeks for your annual family vacation.

Then, your beach week can be at the beginning of the summer and gives you one more opportunity to freshen up the décor and ensure everything is ship-shape as you head into the intense vacation rental weeks from mid-June to mid-August. Discover and enjoy early summer on the Crystal Coast before your favorite restaurant becomes so noisy, crowded and impossible to get a table! Shopping at our local grocery stores and gift shops is also a pleasure without the crowds that we all know will occur later in summer.

Our local tourism development authority (TDA) is also very committed to increasing visitors to our area during these lowest occupancy weeks of summer. Much discussion and strategic planning is occurring and these weeks are being targeted for future festivals, events and sports themed travel. Even more fascinating is the way the TDA is able to focus their marketing efforts on foodie couples with no school age children or millennials yearning for a destination with exhilarating wind sports and a strong local craft beer presence in our restaurants and brew pubs. We are interested in any demographic of traveler not dependent on school calendars when planning summer travel for these early weeks of June! This will be a welcome boost to our local tourism economy and we remain hopeful that the early weeks of June won’t be quiet in future years.

When does summer truly begin? No one on Emerald Isle would say the summer solstice for by the third week of June, we’ve been enjoying glorious beach days since Easter. For this beach gal, summer begins when my sun-warmed bare feet walking along the water’s edge welcome the cooling splash from the tidal pools I encounter. That’s probably today, even if the calendar tells me it is only May! Julia Batten Wax Broker/Owner, Emerald Isle Realty jwax@EIRealty.com

Making the Most of Family Vacations Family vacations can seem like daunting endeavors to organize, as planners must cater to each member of the family and their individual needs. Family vacations can cost several thousand dollars, which only adds to the pressure planners may be under. But careful planning makes it possible to simplify the process so more time can be spent resting, relaxing and having fun.

Pack light and, if possible, buy some necessities when you arrive.

Few things can be as headache-inducing as dragging along extra luggage with kids in tow. Choosing a hotel or resort with laundry facilities can be advantageous to active families who may get messy.

One of the ‘musts’ when booking a family vacation is finding the right accommodations. This often means booking rooms at familyfriendly hotels. Things to look for when seeking hotels include amenities like swimming pools and recreation areas, nearby parks and other attractions that kids can enjoy, and easy access to stores that sell necessities.

When booking a room, request one that is close to the elevator or the breakfast buffet. If you have youngsters who nap or go to bed early, try to book adjoining rooms or one-bedroom suites. This way the kids are tucked in but accessible, allowing adults to enjoy their downtime.

While it’s beneficial to have an itinerary, leave some moments for spontaneity and rest. You don’t want to return home so tired from the trip that you need another break. Use downtime as opportunities for kids to lead the way.

Plan the trip together Get the entire family involved when planning a vacation and let children who are old enough to have a say in some of the travel plans. Let kids choose some activities, pick some restaurants or even select which seats to sit in on the airplane.

Pack as lightly as possible

Travel off the beaten path Mature children may like sights and sounds that aren’t necessarily designed for kids. So while it may be tempting to stick to big-name resorts that cater to families, there’s plenty of enjoyment to be had exploring lesser-known islands or villages. And while you’re at it, introduce children to native cuisines so they can broaden their culinary palates.

Relive the memories Make lasting vacation memories more by putting together a photo album or scrapbook.

mayor’s notes

Mayor Ken Jones

June to Go!

T

he first part of June is always an exciting time in Pine Knoll Shores! The 11th annual Kayak for the Warriors (K4TW) will be held the first weekend in June. The events surrounding the main Kayak Race are drawing as big a crowd as the actual race itself!

Last year, participants raised close to $70,000! Once again we have an all-volunteer team, with three team captains, one for each of the three big Kayak for the Warriors events. On May 25, the 5K Run/Walk was held at the beach near The Clamdigger. The silent auction and the live auction were held on May 30, once again at the Aquarium in Pine Knoll Shores. The signature event is held on Saturday, June 1 at Garner Park. One of my favorite parts of this event is when folks are waving and cheering along the canal. A huge “thank you� to the PIKSCO Homeowners’ Association for the use of their facilities!

We are heading into the final stretch of the 2019-20 town budget process. Again, your town staff and board of commissioners have done a yeoman’s task of putting together a balanced budget and keeping the tax rate steady. There are also no changes to the water rates. We have an increase in trash, recycling and yard waste annual fee of $13. This is in large part because of an inflation rate in or contract and the cost of a truck to pick up yard waste. Heads-up though, this next year there will be a revaluation of property values in Carteret County that has been delayed a year because of the

hurricanes.

The month of June is when activity in the water around PKS really picks up. I signed a proclamation for National Safe Boating Week May 11-17. We encourage you to have your boat or vessel safety checked by the Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron any time of the year.

Our next Dinner with the Mayor will be held on Saturday, July 13, at 5:30pm. This time of year we meet on a Saturday for our summer time weekenders. Join us for dinner and discussion with your neighbors and fellow PKSers’.

Never hesitate to look at our town ordinances to make sure we are all singing from the same sheet of music; they’re on our town website. Sorry to let you know that storm debris pick-up has ended (months ago). Please don’t set your furniture out by the road thinking its home debris. Your yard waste, either bundled or paper bagged, must be in front of your house on yard waste pick up days, not a month before, and not on someone else’s lot. Yard waste bags are available at town hall. The town ordinances (aka laws) are in place for the safety, health, and property values of us all, please check them out. Thank you!

Enjoy our summer season ‌ this is the time we were all looking forward to in January! To our many volunteers, thank you for everything you consistently do for our entire town! One team, One town, One Pine Knoll Shores!!

club news PKS Women’s Club When the women of Pine Knoll Shores make up their minds to do something for good, nothing will stop them. This year’s fashion show proved that. Despite the fact that the country club is in the middle of major repairs and renovations; despite the fact that one of the major vendors was so damaged by Florence that they have closed their doors forever, and despite the fact that many of the members of the committee and some of the models are still working hard to restore their own homes, club members all agreed, “THE SHOW MUST GO ON!” Not only did the show go on, but it was the best yet, raising over $3,300 dollars for charity and bringing the community together for a bit of class and much fun. Jami Turner, as Mistress of Ceremonies, performed in the professional, classy style the club had learned to expect from her. Police Chief Ryan Thompson, Police Sgt. Cory Bishop, Fire Chief Jason Baker and Fire Capt. Brooks Graham added their own touch of class as model escorts. Special thanks to the local shops that provided the fabulous fashions – AB Surf Shop, Davis Beachwear, Hi-Lites and Lauren’s Boutique.

Barbara Costanza, event coordinator for the country club transformed the dining room from a construction site to a beautiful ballroom to show off some of the area’s most gorgeous summer fashions. Chef Scott prepared fabulous food as always and the

entire staff of the country club worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make everyone comfortable and relaxed.

Who can say we have no culture here on Bogue Banks? The Women’s Club member models, Betty Thomas, Debi Suggs, Caroll Beckham, Donna Ross and Toni Cox could easily be “mature” models on New York or Paris runways. They were amazing. Recruiting some of our town’s first responders to model this year, Natalie Gibble, Nancy Montanino, Jordan Seitter and Sheena Wigger added a touch of culture to rival any community.

Behind the scenes for months before the event, the Fashion Show Committee members worked to make this event happen and be a success. New vendors had to be secured, dates had to be changed and despite the community businesses and craftspeople being in a state of recovery, silent auction items had to be solicited.

It worked! Kudos to Amy Hahn, Libby Galligher, Marian Goetzinger, Paula Stadiem, Meredith Westbrook and Teresa Wilson.

The show was such a success in raising funds for the Women’s Club Scholarship Fund that a date and location have already been selected for 2020. Mark your calendars for March 27, 2020 at the Country Club of the Crystal Coast for another chance to attend a wonderful luncheon, get a peak at trendy fashions and support the Women’s Club Scholarship Fund.

power squadron news America's Boating Club Sweeps Awards America’s Boating Club of the Crystal Coast won the Commander’s Trophy at the District meeting of North and South Carolina Sail and Power Squadrons in Raleigh at the end of March.

District Commander Greg Shay presented Fort Macon squadron Commander Scott Aitken with the Commander’s Cup, the District Commander’s Trophy for the Outstanding Squadron of the Year for 2018. He commended Commander Aitken for his leadership and for the commitment of the Fort Macon membership in the many categories considered for this award.

Shay also presented the Fort Macon squadron with five national awards given by the Chief Commander or his department heads.

These are third place for national membership growth; honorable mention for the national Distinguished Civic Service Award; Distinctive Communicator Award for the squadron newsletter and the website; and a certificate of recognition for continued support to the national Education Fund.

Additional district awards recognized Squadron Educational Officer Joe Murphy of Pine Knoll Shores and his program with the top District Educational Achievement Award for class participation and a first place Navigational Award for the highest member participation rate in celestial navigation, including individual recognition of Robert Foster with the highest navigation examination score in the district.

Foster’s award is also called Prince Henry the Navigator Award, and it is accompanied by a statue of Prince Henry. In the early 1960s the government of Portugal, at the embassy in Washington, DC, discussed creating an award in honor of Prince Henry the Navigator commemorating the 500th year of his death. In 1965, James D. Paris,

Squadron Commander Scott Aitken with the District Commander’s Cup for Outstanding Squadron of the Year

senior navigator, then commander of District 4, was approached by the Portuguese agency in New York. Ultimately the Portuguese government awarded an alabaster replica of Prince Henry to each of the districts of the United States Power Squadrons.

Shay also awarded Fort Macon with the District Membership Growth Award and the District Membership Retention Award.

JUNE ARIES (March 21-April 20)

Aries, you may want to cut back on physical activity for a little while, especially if you have been nursing an injury. Don’t worry, you’ll get back in the saddle again soon. Start sorting through things when you’re ready. You have many irons in the fire and not much time to get things done. You might have to call in a backup team to help out. Pull out all the emotional stops this later in the month. Things seemingly tug at your heartstrings more so than in the past, and it’s okay to have a few tears develop during a sad movie.

Are you up to stepping outside of your comfort zone? You might have a chance to embrace the challenge and try something completely different from your normal routine.

You just might like it.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21)

Someone you thought was a friend may be looking for something more. If you are in a relationship, you’ll have to set this person straight. Relationships take work. You have to put in the effort if you want to see yours blossom reach their full potential. Schedule some time to spend with your sweetheart.

Taurus, you may need to kick communication up a notch if you want to get things done.

Write things out if you need a cheat sheet, then pull together all of the key players. Let problems flow over you like water off of a duck’s back. Worrying will only make things worse, and it’s completely unproductive.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21)

Focus your attention on something creative instead of analytical this month, Gemini. You can probably use a break from spreadsheets and bar graphs. Everyone at work needs to pitch in to get a job done. If you feel like you are putting in more of the effort than others, you may need to speak up. Money is a priority this month, and you have to put your focus on finances. Have you reconciled your checking account lately? See where you are spending and saving. Work on nurturing a relationship that has been pushed to the side for some time. Rekindling communication is a great way to start things off anew.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

Cancer, too many projects and people vying for your attention make it tough for you to see anything through to completion. There will be time to get it done in the future. Put a strong face on if upsetting news comes your way.

You’re tough enough to get through it, and you may need to take a leadership role. Don’t overthink things too much. Try to go with the flow as much as possible. Situations with coworkers could take an unexpected turn.

Be on the lookout. Keep an open mind when someone presents an idea to you. It’s easy to blow it off without a thought, but you should be more amenable to listening and advising.

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2019

LEO (July 23-August 23)

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21)

VIRGO (August 24-September 22)

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20)

There is a lesson to be learned this month.

But you will not know what it is until you’re in the thick of things. You will come out ahead either way, so don’t fret. Leo, don’t throw in the towel when things do not go your way.

Simply find another work-around or tactic that may prove a path to success. Keep trying. You are in need of a break this midmonth, however, there are many demands on your time and focus. Devote a weekend to self-care and R&R. Now may be the time to share responsibilities with others. This is especially true if you are facing deadlines and simply cannot meet them in time.

Virgo, you have the future on your mind, specifically where you will be in a few months or years. If you are not content, start mapping out a plan to follow. A few things are coming up that will be completely out of your control. Letting go of the reins can be good for you once in a while. And you may learn a thing or two. Late in the month try to focus on friendships and long-term aspirations.

Try putting the two together so you can have more balance in your life. Accept help when it is offered. This makes helpful people feel good that they can do you a service. You will have an opportunity to reciprocate in time.

Give yourself a few days to lounge around and enjoy some rest and relaxation. You can probably use it right now if the pace has been hectic. Investigate some travel options that can get you away for a little bit, Sagittarius.

A change of scenery can do you good, and you will feel reinvigorated after your trip.

You might get a little off course. But all it will take is a little correction to have your plans and goals line up once again. Relaxation is essential at the end of the month, as you have had many things on your plate. Do not feel like you are slacking off if you take some time to give yourself a break.

Avoid making any binding promises early this month. Your mind just isn’t fully into things, and you need extreme focus to follow through. After a bumpy start, the month will smooth out quite nicely and can prove very enjoyable for you, Capricorn. Invite some friends over or go out for happy hour as time allows. Relationships take center stage as the month progresses. You are getting pulled in many different directions, but you may love being busy and the energy that requires.

Let others in your family know how you are feeling. You don’t have to put on a show or mask your emotions. They’ll love and support your decisions.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23)

This is a month to bring order and organization to your home. Doing so will allow you to focus your attention on important matters, Libra.

You are doling out tons of advice lately, and it suits you. Others want to know your opinion on many different things, and you are ready and willing to offer it to them. Career stars are shining brightly for you and all eyes are on you. Use this opportunity to really showcase your talents. People with power may be watching. Not everyone is on board with your new plan. You may have to present it a few times before you get a few takers. Be persistent to win others over.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22)

Scorpio, attention naturally comes your way, and you don’t want to do anything out of the ordinary to direct more of it to you. In fact, spend some time out of the limelight if you can. When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Why not turn it into lemon meringue pie instead? Really put a positive spin on the situation, and you’ll feel better.

Inspiration is in big supply, but be sure to watch out for those who might try to dissuade you. Keep plans on the down low if you have a great idea. Even though it seems like there are many obstacles in your path, you will be able to get through relatively unscathed if you have the right people on your side.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18)

Aquarius, focus on bringing some more romance to your relationship. Send cute texts or leave love notes around the house. These little actions will add up. It is time to put yourself first, even though that’s not always your style. Find some interests and let work slide for a little while so you can recharge.

Work will soon enough take center stage again. Be aware of your health. Are you running yourself ragged or not feeling 100 percent? It might be time to really focus on schedule adjustments. Have faith in your decisions even if they don’t entirely make sense on paper. You will have a line of supporters waiting in your corner in no time at all.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Your charm is off the charts lately, Pisces.

You can get just about anything you want.

Just make sure your powers are put to good use. Be sure to periodically check your on your finances so things don’t get out of hand.

If much has been flowing out, you may have to curb spending for a little bit. Good old fashioned fun is on the horizon. Use the warm weather as an opportunity to go to a drive-in movie or attend a local carnival. Things are changing rapidly in your life and you may feel like you have to play catch up. Target some areas to focus your attention.

Spend more time outdoors.
