Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Leadership Carteret 2019 Ramps Up Last year, the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce Leadership Carteret 2018 sold out quickly. It has proven to be one of the most popular programs the Chamber hosts. “This will be our 32nd season to offer Leadership Carteret and our slogan is: ‘Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders Today,” said Lana Collmann of the chamber. The class only accepts 35 students. “The goal is a comprehensive orientation about contemporary issues and challenges that are unique to Carteret County. And we introduce the class members to the county’s top business leaders and decision makers,” said Tom Kies, chamber president and graduate of Leadership 2007. “We visit places off the beaten path and behind the scenes in order to give the participants an experience they will never forget. We guarantee it.” Last year the 2018 class kicked off with a visit to Camp Albemarle and a series of challenges, including the “Name Game” and the infamous climbing wall. The classes go behind the scenes at the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, tour an oyster farm and climb the Cape Lookout Lighthouse. It visits the Marine Corps Air Station at

BOWDEN & CARR F U R N I T U R E

Cherry Point. Last year they had a chance to take a look at an F-35 Stealth Fighter Jet. The group learned about public and private schools in the county. They also visited Carteret Community College and ate lunch at the culinary school. The trip to Cape Lookout is always fun and memorable and the oyster roast at NC Coastal Federation is a high point. They got to meet the leaders in county and municipal governments, as well as business leaders and the directors of many nonprofit organizations. Last year, the class split up into five groups and partnered with regional nonprofits that left a long lasting, meaningful difference in Carteret County. The nonprofits that benefited in 2018 were the Hope Mission, United Way, Habitat for Humanity, NC Coastal Federation, the Carteret County Humane Society and the Friends of Aging. To apply to enroll in Leadership Carteret 2019, contact Lana Collmann at 252-726-6350 or lana@nccoastchamber.com or sign up online at www.nccoastchamber.com. Tuition is $400 for chamber members and $500 for others.

county perspective

The Broad Street Clinic In 1993, a group of local physicians knew that even people with health insurance had trouble getting medical care locally. So, in July of 1993, the Broad Street Clinic (BSC) opened its doors on Broad Street in Beaufort. The clinic was staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses and administrative staff. The clinic is still staffed by volunteer health care providers including pharmacy staff. In 1996, the clinic moved to Morehead City, which is centrally located in Carteret County and gives patient access to Carteret Health Care for lab services. As the clinic continued to grow additional services were added to meet increasing needs and demands. During 2010, gynecological services were added. In 2010, the clinic started using services provided by the NC Baptist Men’s Association. Local dentist, hygienist and assistants staff the bus on a quarterly basis. In 2015, the clinic began dental hygiene services on site. In 2014, an eye clinic was added providing patients with a complete eye exam and eye glasses. In 2018, the clinic began seeing patients with hepatitis C. Each year, the pharmacy dispenses over $3,000,000 in prescriptions. Today over 850 patients are seen at the clinic totaling over 3,000 visits with a health care provider. Patients must meet financial criteria and medical criteria to become patients. Financially patients must be at or below the 200% federal poverty guideline. Medically patients must have one of five chronic diseases. “The clinic definitely filled a gap and now medical care is widely available in Carteret County to those with insurance and financial means but is still largely unavailable to those without insurance and of limited means,” said Mary Katherine Lawrence, clinic founder and medical director. “Care is always available through emergency rooms, but this is very expensive care and not effective for management of chronic diseases. Although the Affordable Care Act has enabled some low-

Island

income individuals to obtain health insurance, it is also true that the need for the charity care given by the Broad Street Clinic will continue. Many of our patients fall into a “coverage gap” and are unable to afford insurance and not qualifying for a subsidy. Further, they may qualify for one of the many exemptions and not have to pay the fine for being uninsured.” The Broad Street Clinic has focused on uninsured adults, mostly ages 40 to 64 years old, with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and lung or thyroid disease. Most of these adults work at jobs such as construction, housekeeping or commercial fishing that don’t provide benefits. Controlling their chronic conditions improves their quality of life and reduces health costs for our hospital and those with health insurance. Patients of the Broad Street Clinic (BSC) are greatly appreciative and they are the reason that we open our doors every day. The staff of 11 works closely with patients to determine eligibility. Volunteers include 20 health care providers, 20 nurses and seven pharmacists. The clinic is a partner agency with United Way of Coastal Carolina and a member of the National Association of Free & Charitable Clinics and the NC Association of Free & Charitable Clinics. Now it is time to celebrate our patients and our mission and to reﬂect on our humble beginnings and our plans for the future. We are grateful to the untold number of volunteers and donors who made this possible. We are funded through our annual campaign, grants, individual donations, United Way and our Signature Event, An Evening with Broad Street. This year’s event will be Saturday, Nov. 17 featuring a jazz performance by Jeanne Jolly, including “A Tribute to the Ladies of Song.” Tickets will be available in mid-October at the BSC office. For more information, please call the office at 252-726-4562 or stop by at 534 N. 35th St., Morehead City. Edie Reed

~Emerald Tidings~ US Army Corps of Engineers Dredging Bogue Inlet and Coast Guard Channel

The US Army Corps of Engineers dredge Currituck is touching up the main navigation channel in Bogue Inlet, and is also removing shoals in the nearby Coast Guard channel. This work was expected to be completed in September, and will result in safer navigation channels for area boaters heading into the fall fishing season. The Currituck is a hopper dredge, which is akin to a floating dump truck. The dredge spoils are collected in the “hopper” and are being deposited just offshore from The Point in the Atlantic Ocean. This type of dredge is different than the Merritt, the sidecast dredge that usually completes navigation maintenance dredging in Bogue Inlet. The sidecast dredge simply “casts” the dredge spoils out of the navigation channel into nearby shallow waters. The town is hopeful that the use of the Currituck for this round of dredging will promote a more stable navigation channel for a longer period of time. The work in the Coast Guard channel is funded exclusively by the US Coast Guard. The work in the Bogue Inlet navigation channel is funded through a partnership between the State of North Carolina, the Town of Emerald Isle, and other nearby local governments, including Carteret County, Onslow County, and the towns of Swansboro, Cedar Point and Cape Carteret.

The Point Remains Stable 13 Years after Channel Relocation

It has now been more than 13 years since the town successfully relocated the main ebb channel in Bogue Inlet away from The Point. In 2005, the main channel was threatening numerous homes and infrastructure, and the Town relocated the channel to a more central location between Emerald Isle and Bear Island. The sand removed for the new channel was used for beach nourishment along 4 miles of ocean beach in western Emerald Isle in 2005. The main ebb channel has remained away from Emerald Isle, and is currently located approximately 1,300 feet from the vehicle ramp at The Point. The entire area remains stable, and is enjoyed by many beachgoers, fishermen, boaters, and wildlife. The Point is arguably the most beautiful spot in Emerald Isle, and the town remains committed to preserving this local treasure. Prior to the 2005 relocation, the town’s engineers predicted that the main ebb channel would eventually migrate back toward Emerald Isle in approximately 15 years. The town continues to monitor the position of the main ebb channel, and plans to relocate the channel again when it moves within 1,000 feet of The Point vehicle ramp. The town is in early planning stages for the next relocation, which is tentatively planned for 2022, and the sand removed will again be used for beach nourishment at that time.

NCDOT Contractor Begins Work on Underside of Emerald Isle Bridge

A contractor for NCDOT has begun significant maintenance work on the underside of the Emerald Isle bridge, and crews have established a work base on the mainland side of the NC 58 bridge. This work is intended to extend the projected life of the bridge and will continue for the next several months, but is not expected to result in significant vehicle lane closures. NCDOT’s contractor will also be installing new guardrails on the bridge prior to the 2019 tourism season. The new guardrails will have a similar appearance as those on the Atlantic Beach - Morehead City bridge. The current concrete railings are approximately 28 inches high, and the new steel railings will extend an additional 26 inches, resulting in a total guard rail height of 54 inches.

Town Considering Access Improvements

The town is currently working with engineers and nearby property owners to determine specific improvements to Islander Drive and the Western Ocean Regional Access (WORA). Improvements currently under consideration include a new beach access walkway, shower and bathroom improvements, EmeraldFest stage improvements, a new pedestrian walkway through the parking area at the WORA, additional on-street parking on Islander Drive, potential conversion of overhead electric lines to underground, decorative street lighting, landscaping improvements, and more. These improvements will be funded by State grant funds and sale proceeds from the recent sale of town-owned property that previously included an abandoned go-kart track and bumper boat facility. 24

The board of commissioners is expected to finalize plans in October, and the town hopes to complete construction no later than May 2019. Associated private development of approximately 30 residential and commercial condominium units is expected to begin in early 2019.

Town Pursuing Culvert Improvements

The town has included funding in the current budget to replace an aging pipe culvert under Lee Avenue that allows Archers Creek to flow east toward Bogue Sound, and also allows tidal influence into areas west of the culvert. The existing pipe culvert was installed in the late 1970s, and has deteriorated to the point that the Lee Avenue roadway could become compromised. The town originally planned to replace this culvert with an identical sized culvert in early 2019, however, in response to concerns from nearby property owners, the town is now exploring the potential installation of a larger culvert or multiple culverts to enhance tidal flow in this area and promote the health of the adjacent coastal marsh. Town staff is currently working with engineers, state and federal regulatory officials, the NC Coastal Federation, and nearby property owners to determine the appropriate scope of work, (Continued on page 26)

NC 58 Landscape Lighting Completed

First E.I. Fall Fishing Tournament Planning Underway

Town staff have completed the the installation of new landscape lighting along the NC 58 right of way near the base of the Emerald Isle bridge. The new lighting represents yet another effort by the town to enhance the aesthetics of the NC 58 corridor through Emerald Isle, and the town will be considering additional lighting enhancements in the future.

Construction of Pedestrian Bridge Set to Begin

The town has awarded a contract for the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over Archers Creek to nature trails in McLeanSpell Park. The new pedestrian bridge will enable easier access to the new park. Park visitors will then be able to park at the Community Center, cross the creek right outside the Community Center building, and enjoy this great new town park in Emerald Isle. Public restrooms are also available adjacent to the Community Center parking lot and tennis courts.

Beach Driving Season

The popular beach driving season began on Saturday, Sept. 15 and will continue through Thursday, April 18 (the beach driving season ends early this year due to the timing of Easter week). Beach driving permits are available now at the Town Administration Building, and the permit application and additional information are available at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/beach-driving.

New Roundabout Functioning Well Thus Far

The new NC 58 roundabout near the Publix grocery store opened on March 1 and has functioned very well through the first summer season. The new roundabout was constructed instead of an originally proposed new traffic signal, and as a pilot project to enable our community to evaluate roundabouts for other potential locations in the future. The new roundabout allows traffic to flow continuously while allowing for turns on to and out of Mallard Drive. Other than one incident caused by an intoxicated driver traveling at a speed in excess of 80 miles per hour during the middle of the night in March, there have been zero accidents in the new roundabout. (Fortunately, neither the driver or others were hurt in this incident, and there was no significant damage to nearby infrastructure.) Since March 1, there have been a total of 104 motor vehicle accidents at other locations in Emerald Isle, including 14 accidents at the town’s four existing signalized intersections. The town continues to monitor the function and safety of the new NC 58 roundabout, and any future decisions for other NC 58 locations will be made in future years after additional analysis by NCDOT, additional public input, and further review of the new NC 58 roundabout near Publix. There are now more than 300 roundabouts in North Carolina, and thousands more across the United States.

King Mack is Back The 2nd annual Atlantic Beach King Mackerel Tournament is set to raise money for lifesaving equipment on behalf of the Atlantic Beach Volunteer Fire Dept. through its Fish for Life Initiative. The nonprofit tournament will last three weeks, Oct. 6-27. Anglers can fish anytime during the tournament dates, although fish have to be offloaded and weighed at Chasin’ Tails, Atlantic Beach, by 7pm each evening. The cost to enter is $250. A captain’s party is planned for Friday, Oct. 5 at Memories Beach Club. This year, the tournament hopes to grow to 100 boats and raise $15,000 for the fire department, which is in need of an AutoPulse Resuscitation System, a transport-friendly system that provides automated CPR to victims of sudden cardiac arrest. “Giving our dedicated fire department access to this equipment will help save lives in Atlantic Beach, particularly those at risk for drowning where time and efficiency is of vital importance,” said Adam Snyder, fire chief. “We’re grateful to Bojangles’, Neuse Sport Shop and all of our sponsors and participants for helping to raise these critical funds.” Last year, the tournament provided funding for a beach rescue vehicle for the fire department. “Our community was able to come together at last year’s tournament and raise money for this equipment, which has already saved multiple lives in Atlantic Beach,” said Curt Winbourne of ABKMT (Atlantic Beach King Mackerel Tournament).

The historic, family-friendly tournament is the only of its kind in the area, and everyone is welcome. “You do not need a big boat to participate, just a love for fishing, and a show of support for your local first responders,” said Renea Baker, ABKMT.

The Line that Held Us By David Joy “The Line That Held Us” is a story of revenge and violence, a novel of destruction and redemption. The author, David Joy, lives in Sylva, North Carolina, and his Appalachian roots are obvious in this masterful work of fiction set in the mountains of North Carolina. The desolation and despair for some in the region serves as an undercurrent for this tale of an accidental death and the consequences for four people. Darl Moody goes hunting for a deer but accidentally shoots a man gathering ginseng. He has killed a Brewer, member of a family known for violence. Dwayne Brewer goes looking for his missing brother and stumbles on a trail which leads back to Darl and his friend, Calvin. Dwayne, a known bully, seeks revenge within the bounds of his own mountain moral code. This one accident changes many lives forever. David Joy weaves themes of justice and loyalty throughout the novel while creating unforgettable characters who beg the reader to follow them to their final fates. Each main character’s personality is both sympathetic and frustrating at the same time. Dwayne Brewer is a man you don’t want to meet, but love to read about. He is poetic in his code of life and death. The author’s prose is mesmerizing such as, “Across the road, a murmuration of starlings rose like a bruise from a yellowed field.” His knack for capturing the flavor of the setting is uncanny such as, “The night smelled wet with hay and manure, a sweet, earthly tang that was so familiar Calvin barely noticed at all.” Joy hinges his sentences on rich descriptions of both people and places, his words inspiring images clear and engaging. This novel is a reminder of the old murder ballads emanating from an Appalachian culture which abounds with tragic tales of love and loss. The realism is stark and the plot of retribution is unbending. Yet, there is a measure of grace which permeates the story and gives pause to the violence. The ending is a surprise, the last two chapters written in a way which will cause readers to rethink what they thought obvious earlier. Curt Finch Emerald Isle Books

2018 Comprehensive Beach Survey In late August, the engineering firm of Moffatt & Nichol gave the Carteret County Beach Commission a presentation highlighting the results of a comprehensive beach survey conducted along Bogue Banks. The survey, or “monitoring event” was completed over the course of several weeks during spring 2018 and included our neighboring islands to the east and west of Bogue Banks as well – Shackleford Banks and Bear Island, respectively. So what exactly constitutes a beach survey? Jokingly of course, we can’t interview sand grains and ask them about their travels over the course of the year. Rather, the origins of the program date back to 1999 when 111 shore-perpendicular transects were established along Bogue Banks to gain baseline information and begin assessing the overall health of the beach in the wake of the hurricanes impacting the region in the decade of the 1990s – most notably Bertha (1996), Fran (1996), Bonnie (1998), Dennis 1 & 2 (1999) and Floyd (1999). Elevations of the dry and underwater (nearshore) portion of the beach have been obtained along these same transects on a routine basis since 1999 and these measurements are utilized to monitor two important beach parameters we will be discussing in more detail below – (1) the volume of sand residing in the beach system, and (2) shoreline movement. The monitoring program has grown since its formative years and now includes 122 transects along Bogue Banks (Fig. 1), in addition to 24 transects along Shackleford Banks, and 18 along Bear Island. The beaches are ideally surveyed in the pre-hurricane season timeframe prior to July of each year. If we compare the 2018 survey to that of the year prior we are capturing all of the events/storms that transpired during this yearlong time period and their impacts to those two important parameters introduced above – volume change and shoreline change. It would be cost-prohibitive to survey after each and every individual storm, thus we have to make inferences to what “minor” events may have triggered episodes of erosion and accretion throughout the year.

Figure 1 – Site map depicting the location/identification scheme of the 122 profiles positioned along Bogue Banks utilized for beach/ nearshore monitoring purposes and the management reaches provided in the Bogue Banks Beach Master Plan.

hurricanes, tropical storms or other high energy events that remove sand from the beach profile, while credits are almost always attributed to beach nourishment, or to the rare occurrence of storms actually moving sand up the beach profile as we observed with Hurricane Matthew in 2016. To these ends, from spring 2017 to spring 2018 we didn’t experience notable episodes of “debit” or “credit” – i.e., there was no beach nourishment and although the 2017 hurricane season Results - Volume and Shoreline Changes was “hyperactive” (Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index of 223), there One of the means to quantify beach health is to compare the volume were minimal impacts to Bogue Banks. There also was not a spate of sand lost or gained over time along Bogue Banks and the adjacent of spring storms like we experienced the year prior. The “volumetric islands. Engineers often use the measuring unit of a cubic yard (cy) to approach” has been a primary tenet of our beach monitoring program, describe volume change, which can be envisioned as a 3 foot x 3 foot and the 128,393 linear feet of oceanfront along Bogue Banks (profiles x 3 foot block of sand, or 27 ft3. A standard dump truck holds roughly 1-112, Fig. 1) interestingly gained 894,195 cy of sand in 2017-18, 15 cubic yards of dry sand as a convenient mental image. equating to an average gain of +7.0 cubic yards per foot (cy/ft). Accordingly, we rely heavily on a “credit – debit” volumetric With respect to shoreline change – the “shoreline” is determined as approach with respect to our overall beach management philosophy the mean high water elevation established at +1.5 ft. NAVD88 (Fig. 2). and to track change throughout time. Debits are usually in the form of This measurement parameter is sometimes referred to as a “datumderived shoreline” as we can numerically determine where along a profile the +1.5 feet elevation resides rather than depending upon more subjective determinations required by other methods, such as aerial photography (i.e., wet/dry line, the wrack line, etc.). For the 2017-18 reporting period the shoreline regressed landward (eroded) by -7 feet on average across Bogue Banks. Please be cognizant these are just average numbers for the entire island, but generally holds true along each of the management reaches (see Table 1 for a summary of all the management reaches). By now you might be scratching your head trying to reconcile how we gained sand volume but the shoreline moved landward (eroded). On the surface Table 1 – Average shoreline and volume change from Spring 2017 to Spring 2018 that seems contradictory but once we look at the for eight oceanfront reaches positioned along Bogue Banks. Notice in general the beach from a cross-sectional vantage point, the shoreline position regressed landward, but almost all the reaches gained sand during reasons become much more intuitive. the reporting period. 30

ISLAND REVIEW • October 2018

Ironically now this makes sense because as mentioned above, some sand moved from the shoreline zone up into the dunes, and mostly down the beach profile from the dry sand beach to slightly underwater/offshore. This is perhaps best depicted by examining the same transect superimposed upon one another from the 2018 and 2017 surveys (see Fig. 3). From a long-term chronological perspective, we do not think there is much sand from a gross standpoint migrating (and staying) from one management reach to the other (shore-parallel). In other words, we almost never experience a large loss in one management reach coupled with a significant gain in an adjacent reach. Or vice versa – immediately adjacent reaches to those that received direct nourishment rarely experience significant gains the following year. Obviously this is just a general rule of thumb and is not valid for profiles/reaches near inlets. 2018 provides no exception to these trends – as Figure 2 – Characteristic Bogue Banks profile in cross-section depicting the key just discussed, most of the gains and losses can “landmarks” monitored for changes in sand volume. Although changes are recorded above each of the landmarks depicted in the figure, the orange-colored fillet represents the positive be traced up and down the beach slope. And lastly and continuing with the concept or negative changes occurring at the elevation above “-12 ft. NAVD88”, and is utilized as a of “cubic yards per linear foot” (cy/ft) - the common reporting baseline. volume of sand residing along the entire island is significantly higher than our self-determined yardstick year of 1999, and is attributable to the many beach nourishment projects that have been constructed since 2001 (Fig. 4). All the island management reaches are also in excess of our Master Plan “volumetric thresholds” -- or perhaps better conceptualized as beach nourishment triggers. Our Master Plan management reaches as referenced in Fig. 1 and 4, and Table 1 were developed by; (A) evaluating dune/berm shape and height to group similar profiles into discrete reaches, and then (B) we subsequently utilized a 25year storm event to model the volumetric needs in each of the new management reaches. Our 2018 management reach values in terms of average cy/ft and our minimum volumetric thresholds (i.e., nourishment triggers) are presented graphically in Fig. 4 as well. This is obviously a brief review of the monitoring report, but don’t hesitate to visit www.carteretcountync.gov/329/Monitoring if you would like more information regarding the report itself or the monitoring program in general.

The vertical (y) axis is elevation and the horizontal (x) axis is distance from the dune on the left of the figure heading offshore towards the right of the figure.

Where Does the Sand Go?

Viewing the beach in cross-section, we normally reference the compartment encompassing volume changes above -12 ft. NAVD88 to help make the data more manageable/understandable and to consistently measure change over time. Although we extend our surveys much deeper, the zone above -12 ft. NAVD88 can be considered as the main “shock absorber” for storms and undergoes the most change from year to year (Fig. 2). In general, we are experiencing a continuing trend of sand transitioning from the dry sand beach down the profile to depths that are just offshore/underwater while concomitantly, sand just below the outer bar offshore is moving up the profile. The result from a volumetric standpoint is that we are gaining sand overall from the top of the dune seaward to -12 feet NAVD88 (our cut-off lens, or “sand box”). As previously mentioned we gained an average of +7 cubic yards per linear feet (cy/ft) across the entire oceanfront reach of Bogue Banks last year but the shoreline retreated landward by -7 feet (average).

Fall into

Autumn

Festivals

With the heat of summer behind us and – fall is one of our favorite times along the Crystal Coast. With great fall fishing, crisp fall air and beautiful fall sunsets, it’s hard to find a reason not to fall in love with autumn along the Crystal Coast. Just because summer is over, it doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things to do. In fact, fall is festival season, with celebrations of fish, flowers and kites on the horizon. Not only do the season’s popular festivals give folks a chance to enjoy the more temperate climates, but it gives them a chance to learn more about the region’s rich heritage while enjoying the fellowship of their neighbors. First on the agenda brings the smell of seafood to the salty air in downtown Morehead City. The annual NC Seafood Festival takes place on the streets of downtown Morehead City Oct. 5-7 and celebrates our abundant catch. The streets come alive with vendors, exhibits, live entertainment, games, rides and plenty more. The Cooking with the Chefs tent is a great option for learning new recipes. On Saturday, area chefs will offer cooking demonstrations and sampling – everyone’s favorite. On Sunday, a Cooking Challenge takes center stage, with eight chefs from around the state battling it out for the coveted Chef’s Hat award. The Port of Pours features North Carolina brews and a full schedule of live entertainment runs throughout the weekend on multiple stages. Performers include Jupiter Jones, John Mayer, Beaufort Blues Project, Strung Together and Monjah, among others. Check ncseafoodfestival. org for the complete line up. Associated with the festival are the Twin Bridges 8K Road Race, the annual Outer Banks Boat Show and the moving Blessing of the Fleet, where those who sacrifice their lives to provide seafood for our community are recognized by other commercial fisherman with a parade of vessels at the NC State Port. The historic streets of downtown Swansboro host the Mullet Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 13-14, as it pays homage to the bait fish that has become a seasonal favorite for diners as well. The festival began as a small community cookout and has blossomed into an event that is part of the small town’s heritage and culture. An estimated 20,000 visitors invade for two days of festivities, which is quite a draw considering the coastal village is home to less than 2,000 residents. Over 100 craft vendors along with food vendors will line to streets of downtown Swansboro, and of course the famous Jacksonville Rotary Fish Fry – there is truly something for everyone to enjoy. Live entertainment runs throughout the weekend on the centralized stage. Admission to the festival is free. Downtown streets will be closed to vehicular traffic both days. Visitors are asked to leave their pets at home. Things begin with a parade on Saturday morning while an array of arts and crafts vendors, live entertainment and inflatable rides for the youngsters take over the waterfront area. Scheduled the same weekend, Oct. 12-14, is one of New Bern’s largest annual events, MumFest, featuring more than 300 commercial and nonprofit exhibitors, including pottery, crafts and art. Some might say the temptation is too much when they discover dozens of booths filled with a wide variety of savory foods guaranteed to tempt anyone’s appetite. MumFest brings a variety of free entertainment including live bands, dance troupes, magicians, roving street performers, face painters and mermen and mermaids. In addition, there’s a riverfront amusement park with carnival rides and games. On Oct. 27-28, the Carolina Kite Fest takes flight over the beach at Sands Villa, Atlantic Beach, thanks to its longtime organizer, Kites Unlimited. This free event brings kite enthusiasts from around the country to enjoy our uplifting fall breeze and mild temperatures. The festival runs from 10am-4pm Saturday and Sunday, with a night fly slated for Saturday. Spectators can see kites of all shapes and sizes soar through the salty air. As long as the wind cooperates, everything from team flying, extreme ascensions and drops, dragons, facets/boxes, sky skimmers and more are demonstrated. Youngsters will even have a chance to make a kite of their own – and if they’re lucky, catch a few tips from the pros. Be sure to take a camera, kite or both and watch these kites speckle the sky with color, size and creativity. For more information, call Kites Unlimited at 252-247-7011 or visit www. kitesandbirds.com.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayor’s notes

Mayor Trace Cooper

Calendar of Events is Growing in A.B. A sign of a great community is that there is plenty to do in that community. We are heading in that direction in Atlantic Beach. We’ve always had beautiful beaches and wonderful waterways. Our business community provides a nice selection of restaurants and shopping. And, in recent years, the town government has become increasingly active in developing events to entertain our residents and attract visitors to town. The events we currently produce have grown to be large affairs. Our Beach Music Festival attracts thousands of people to the Boardwalk in mid-May each year. Our Junior Lifeguard camps have grown to four different week-long camps throughout the summer that sell out as soon as we open registration. Similarly, a group dedicated volunteers and town staff have revived the legendary Atlantic Beach King Mackerel tournament and we expect it to regain it’s place as one of the premier tournaments on the coast. Most people don’t realize that behind these large events has been as small group of incredibly dedicated and talented town employees who have become experts at event planning and execution while still excelling in their primary roles in our town government. For example, the Junior Lifeguard program was developed and executed by our Fire Department with no outside help or funding. Our Beach Music Festival is also self-sustaining – it is fully funded by sponsorships. The festival itself along with a few events leading up to the festival have all been organized and executed by our town staff led by

Arrington Moore, Town Clerk Katrina Tyer, and our Administrative Services Director Sabrina Simpson with a lot of help from every other department in town. These are also the people responsible for a summer’s worth of movie nights and thousands of rounds of miniature golf at our Town Park. Thanks to the talent and dedication of our town staff, we have had success with the events we’ve programmed to date. This success has led to a desire among the town council to add more events of all shapes and sizes to the calendar for years to come. The success of our existing events has made us realize how important events and recreation can be for our community. But, understanding how much work goes into to planning these events, we have also realized that we need an additional staff member to focus on event planning and execution. We want to have activities in Atlantic Beach every week of the summer as well as a lot more things to do in the offseason. To help build on the success our staff has already achieved, we have reorganized our staffing to include a new position (without increasing our total headcount) dedicated to events and recreation as well as the town’s marketing and branding efforts. We have hired a very well-qualified person to take on this roll and we are excited to see them work with the rest of our team to build on the successes we currently enjoy in events and recreation. There will soon be a lot more to do in Atlantic Beach.

turtle tracks A Productive Summer is on the Books A summer in review for the Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Patrol covers multiple topics. Our volunteers were busy walking each morning looking for tracks to show a female turtle came ashore to nest during the past night. Volunteers also protected and checked each of the 13 nests that were laid in Emerald Isle. We were excited to find that we had our very first Kemp’s ridley nest. Kemp’s ridley sea turtles are on the critically endangered list, so we were delighted one chose our beach for her nest. Volunteers sat at the nest and were excited to see hatchlings make it safely into the ocean. Throughout the spring and summer, EISTP volunteers continue to represent our program on and off the beach. Activities vary, but giving back to the community that supports our turtles is important to many of our volunteers. Here are just some of the programs our volunteers assisted: ● NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores* - Our volunteers eagerly spend untold hours giving of their time to educate and assist the public about local marine life. ● E.I. Marathon - In the spring, our volunteers manned a water station during the marathon. ● Hands Across the Sand * - A worldwide gathering of people dedicated to clean water and clean energy ... of course our volunteers support those goals! ● A Second Helping* - Collecting food and supplies from departing visitors, which are then donated to a local shelter. The program encourages less waste and trash and a more useful purpose for the food. ● Alzeimer’s Awareness - The Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Crawl Team members walk our beach from sun up to sundown to raise awareness and money for Alzheimers treatment and research. ● Beach Clean-Up Saturday - The Sea Turtle Patrol adopted two areas of the beach and did a clean-up sweep. Team members cleaned up the beach at the Eastern Regional Access and the Point area. *These activities are not organization sponsored, just activities that many individual patrol members participate in. Finally, I’d like to share a feel good sea turtle outcome story: In early June reports were received about a turtle swimming close to shore during the day time. Although a nest response team was dispatched, the turtle had returned to the deeper 44

waters and was no longer visible in the tides. Later that day, another call came in ... again no turtle to be seen in the tides. The following day, the call reported a turtle in distress. This time the team could see the turtle swimming slowly through the tides close to the beach. A decision was made to go out into the water and retrieve the turtle. Since the turtle didn’t even struggle during this rescue effort, it was clear something was wrong. Emerald Isle Sea Turtle volunteers quickly transported the sick turtle to CMAST in Morehead City. The doctor and care team there did tests to try and determine why the approximately 20-year-old female turtle was underweight and very sick. The following day, after being stabilized, the turtle was transported to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital in Surf City. Flash forward two months to a visit to the Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Hospital in Surf City. Tides, the name given to the turtle by the hospital staff, is doing so much better. She is still in the ICU area of the facility, but she looks wonderful in her big tank under the viewing window and was responding to the voice of her caregiver. Tides even posed for some photos. Kudos to Jean Beasley and the wonderful staff for the great care they have given this turtle that captured our hearts. Hopefully, in a few years time, a healthy Tides will return to Emerald Isle ... but this time to leave a nest of eggs! As you can tell, it was a busy, yet satisfying summer. Those of us who love these sea turtles and the wonder of watching the hatchlings scurry to the ocean wouldn’t have it any other way!

FITNESS Eating Healthy on a Budget Fact 1: We all want to look good naked. Fact 2: Eating healthy is an important, if not the most important, factor in achieving this goal. Contrary to popular belief, you can’t out exercise a poor diet. So while eating healthy sounds great in theory it is often difficult to put into practice, especially if you are living on a budget, because let’s face it, the price of food has risen and our paychecks aren’t necessarily keeping pace. So, how can we eat well and not find ourselves struggling to get by each month? Here are some tips to help you make the most of your grocery budget so that you have a little extra cash at the end of the month to celebrate reaching your health and fitness goals. Buy produce that is in season – Fruits and vegetables that are in season are typically cheaper and more nutritious than those that aren’t, so research which fruits and vegetables are currently in season and plan your meals and snacks accordingly. If you find a really good deal on a certain item (can anyone say 10 for $10 on mangos!) consider buying extra and freezing what you don’t plan on eating in the next few days. Shopping at local farmer’s markets is a great way to support local farmers while saving money and can be a fun way to introduce your children to healthy eating. Plan meals for the week around sale items in the store circular – If you shop at one or two stores for groceries make sure to plan your meals around what will be on sale that week. Carve out some time each week to pull up the online circular and see what is on sale, then brainstorm meals ideas for the week based on these items. Just make sure not to plan a meal around an ingredient that no one in your family likes just because it is on sale as you will just be tossing that money straight in the trash! Shop with a list – Once you have planned out your meals and snacks for the week go through your pantry and fridge to see what you already have on hand and make a list of the items that you need to purchase. As a side note, when you go grocery shopping make sure you don’t go on an empty stomach. Even with a list you are almost guaranteed to purchase items you do not need or things that are not healthy because your stomach told you to.

Shop around – If you aren’t committed to one or two specific grocery stores consider shopping around to see if you can find better prices on some of the more expensive items on your list. Looking at store circulars before shopping can help you find better deals and prevents you from wasting time traveling to various stores only to find that the item was cheaper at the first store you went to. Also, make sure that you won’t be spending more money on gas traveling to different stores – you won’t be saving any money if it costs you $10 in gas to save $5 on groceries! Buy generic brands – Store brands are cheaper than name brands and are typically no different in taste or nutritional value than their more expensive counterparts. Unless you know for a fact that your child will only eat a specific brand, try generic and see if they even notice a difference. Nine times out of 10 your family will never know and you will happily save some cash. Try vegetarian meals or cheaper cuts of meat – Let’s face it, meat is often the most expensive part of every meal. While many of us enjoy a nice steak or big, juicy hamburger it isn’t going to kill us to cut meat out of our diet once or twice a week. Eliminating meat from our diet one day a week can save big bucks and gives us the opportunity to try new recipes and experiment with new foods. If you must have meat at every meal, try a cheaper cut and experiment with different ways of cooking (think crock pot meal with a tougher cut of meat) to enhance the flavor and texture of that particular cut of meat. As you can see, with just a little planning and an adventurous spirit you can make eating healthy fun and affordable. Now, get out there, put these tips into action, and save some money! As always, I’m here to help so if you have questions or are looking for a personal trainer or nutrition coach you can find me on my Expert Profile page. Happy, healthy living my friends!

health & wellness Coping as a Family Caregiver Individuals are born into the world requiring the care of their parents and other adult guardians to grow and thrive. These adult children, in turn, may end up providing care when their parents reach senior age or face an illness or disability. Becoming a family caregiver frequently is a tough choice to make. It requires patience and time, and can be emotionally and physically taxing. An estimated 43.5 million adults in the United States have provided unpaid care to an adult or a child in the prior 12 months, according to the National Alliance for Caregiving and AARP Public Policy Institute. It’s not uncommon for caregivers of any age to feel stressed and burned out by the demands of caregiving. The Mayo Clinic says people who experience caregiver stress can be vulnerable to changes in their own health. Some signs of caregiver stress include: ● Feeling overwhelmed or constantly worried ● Feeling tired most of the time ● Gaining or losing a lot of weight ● Becoming easily irritated or angry ● Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy ● Having frequent headaches, bodily pain or other physical problems Some caregivers even resort to drugs and alcohol to selfmedicate, which can lead to further issues. To avoid the potential pitfalls of caregiver stress, individuals should always put their needs first and find ways to alleviate the added stress of caring for a loved one. These suggestions are just a start.

Don’t strive for perfection - It isn’t possible to maintain a patient attitude and get everything done perfectly each and every day. People are not perfect and mistakes will be made. Do not punish yourself if you lash out or simply need a break Eat healthy - As anyone who has dealt with a hungry toddler can attest, failure to eat well and frequently can result in an emotional meltdown. Be sure to always make time for nutritious meals. This will help keep up energy stores and enable you to better cope with caregiver stress. Pay attention to mood changes - Anxiety or depression can sneak up on you when you least expect it. Ask for help if you feel your tasks are becoming too overwhelming. Seek the help of a doctor if changes in mood, sleeping patterns, appetite, and the like become noticeable. Take frequent breaks - Getting a break from caregiving and setting aside time for yourself can increase patience levels and the ability to bounce back from stress. Whenever possible, have a friend or another relative step in for you so you get a break. Explore resources available for professional aides to come and take some of the responsibilities off of your shoulders. Being a caregiver can be a rewarding, but challenging role to play. Caregivers should keep their health a priority.

BAROMETER

Record Visitor Spending Across North Carolina Record visitor spending in 2017 was reflected with visitor spending increases in all 100 counties, NC Secretary of Commerce Anthony M. Copeland announced early last month. Visitor spending reached nearly $5.4 billion in Mecklenburg, $2.3 billion in Wake, $1.4 billion in Guilford and $1.1 in Buncombe and Dare counties. Rounding out the top 10 counties for visitor spending were Forsyth ($898 million), Durham ($814 million), New Hanover ($578 million), Brunswick ($563 million) and Cumberland ($542 million). The data comes from an annual study commissioned by Visit NC, a unit of the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina. Domestic visitors spent a record $23.99 billion statewide in 2017, an increase of 4.2 percent from 2016. State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending topped $1.2 billion in 2017, and local tax revenues directly resulting from visitor spending totaled $738.6 million. Visitor expenditures directly supported 225,700 jobs and generated more than $6.0 billion in payroll income across North Carolina. “North Carolina is a welcoming state and destination for travelers from across the world, and tourism continues to help drive economic development statewide,” said Secretary Copeland. “Tourism creates jobs and increases state and local tax revenues, growing North Carolina’s economy across all 100 counties.” Visit NC Executive Director Wit Tuttell added: “The continued growth in visitor spending is great for communities across our entire state. North Carolina’s continued position as the sixth most-visited state in the nation with more than 46 million visitors in 2017 reinforces its status as a premier tourism destination.”

Highlights include: ▪ Mecklenburg County received $5.38 billion in domestic travelers’ expenditures to lead all of North Carolina’s 100 counties. Wake County ranked second with $2.27 billion, followed by Guilford County with $1.41 billion, Buncombe with $1.14 billion and Dare with $1.13 billion in visitor spending. ▪ The largest percent increases in visitor spending were seen in Polk (8.3 percent), Hyde (8.2 percent), Henderson (7.1 percent), Pitt (6.6 percent) and Buncombe (6.6 percent) counties. Beaufort and Forsyth counties followed with a 6.4 and 6.1 percent increase respectively. Rounding out the top 10 in largest increases were Alamance (6.0 percent), Bertie (5.9 percent and Pamlico (5.7 percent). ▪ Mecklenburg County had the largest number of direct tourism employees (52,250) and the largest payroll ($1.9 billion). Four other counties had more than 10,000 direct tourism employees: Wake (23,420), Guilford (13,950), Dare (13,370) and Buncombe (11,790). ▪ 90 percent of the state’s counties saw direct tourism employment growth in 2017. Counties with the largest year-over-year increases in direct tourism employment were Polk (6.9 percent), Hyde (6.8 percent), Henderson (4.8 percent), Alamance (4.6 percent), Pitt (4.6 percent), Bertie (4.5 percent) and Buncombe (4.4 percent).

Plastic Ocean A prophetic Erik Solheim, the executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme, warns that the planet Earth is on the brink of an “Ocean Armageddon,” caused by discarded plastic materials that are polluting the world’s bodies of water. An Armageddon is deemed to be “the final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil, or a dramatic and catastrophic conflict, especially one seen as likely to destroy the world or the human race.” Solheim, who lives in Oslo, Norway, said that every year humans are dumping some 9 million new tons of plastic trash into tributaries that feed into the oceans. Laura Parker covered the story for National Geographic magazine, and she shared Solheim’s comments with readers in the magazine’s June 2018 edition. Solheim said: “At the current rate, we’ll end up with more plastic in the oceans than fish by the middle of the century, and ultimately that comes back to our own food chain. We need to understand that if we kill our oceans, we also kill ourselves.” It’s not a pretty picture, and how did we get in this boat? Parker recalled that in 1955, “Life magazine celebrated the liberation of the American housewife from drudgery. Under the headline ‘Throwaway Living,’ a photograph showed a family flinging plastic plates, cups and cutlery into the air.” The text boasted that no dishwashing was required. Easy cleanup. Just throw it all away. “When did plastics start to show their dark side?” Parker asked. “You might say it was when the junk in that photo hit the ground,” she answered. “Six decades later, roughly 40 percent of the now more than 448 million tons of plastic produced every year are disposable, much of it used as packaging intended to be discarded within minutes after purchase,” Parker wrote. “Production has grown at such a breakneck pace that virtually half the plastic ever manufactured has 52

been made in the past 15 years.” Furthermore, a whopping 91 percent of the world’s plastic isn’t being recycled, according to Dr. Jenna Jambeck, an associate professor in the College of Engineering at the University of Georgia in Athens. She is internationally recognized for her research on plastic waste in the ocean. Dr. Jambeck told Parker that the recent surge in plastics production “has been driven largely by the expanded use of disposable plastic packaging in the growing economies of Asia, where garbage collection systems may be underdeveloped or nonexistent.” Half the world’s mismanaged plastic waste is generated by just five Asian countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Sri Lanka, according to Dr. Jambeck’s estimates. “Let’s say you recycle 100 percent in all of North America and Europe,” says Dr. Ramani Narayan, Distinguished Professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science in the College of Engineering at Michigan State University in East Lansing. “You still would not make a dent on the plastics released into the oceans. If you want to do something about this, you have to go there, to these countries, and deal with the mismanaged waste.” Ted Siegler, a resource economist at DSM Environmental Services, Inc., based in Windsor, Vt., has spent more than 25 years working with developing nations on their garbage. “It’s a matter of building the necessary institutions and systems, ideally before the ocean turns, irretrievably and for centuries to come, into a thin soup of plastic.” “The fastest way to make a big difference is low tech. It’s more garbage trucks and landfills,” Siegler said. “Everyone wants a sexy answer, but the reality is, we need to just collect the trash. Most countries that I work in, you can’t even get it off the street. “We need garbage trucks and help institutionalizing the fact that

this waste needs to be collected on a regular basis and landfilled, recycled, or burned so that it doesn’t end up going all over the place.”

Sargasso Sea is Atlantic Ocean Trash Heap

Sadly, the Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is not alone. Another floating island of plastic-laden trash exists off the coast of North Carolina in the Sargasso Sea region in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. Named the Atlantic Ocean Garbage Patch, it’s not as big as its Pacific Ocean cousin, but it poses the same health risk to animals, birds, other marine mammals and humans. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tells us that the Sargasso Sea is the only sea without a land boundary. Instead, it is defined by four dominant ocean currents. Bermuda is the most identifiable prominent land mass within the Sargasso Sea region. About 61,000 people live on the island. 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. Other seaweeds reproduce and begin life on the floor of the ocean.” “Sargassum provides a home to an amazing variety of marine species. Turtles use sargassum mats as nurseries where hatchlings have food and shelter,” NOAA noted. NOAA added: “The Sargasso Sea is a spawning site for threatened and endangered eels as well as white marlin, shark and dolphinfish. Humpback whales annually migrate through the Sargasso Sea. Commercial fish, such as tuna, and birds also migrate through the Sargasso Sea and depend on it for food.” Unfortunately, the Sargasso Sea is one of the five garbage patches found around the world. Scientifically, these areas are known as ocean gyres. A gyre is a large system of circular ocean currents formed by global wind patterns and forces created by Earth’s rotation. Within 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.”

Say Goodbye to Plastic Sipping Straws

Eliminating plastic straws from the garbage that is suffocating the world’s oceans is a doable first step in the cleanup process, both environmentalists and economists predict. Although plastic straws currently represent less than 0.5 percent of the ocean plastic pollution, straws are a target of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, which is a collaboration of 22 members of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums, based in Silver Spring, Md. All three NC Aquariums are included and are participating in what is known as the “In Our Hands” action campaign. Hap Fatzinger, director of the state aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores, said more and more consumers are opting for paper straw or no straw options. “This is an area where we can be successful,” he said. “If we can turn one small action into a greater sense of awareness, we can

Can Ocean Cleanup Efforts Succeed? The “Great Pacific Garbage Patch” is a massive, slowswirling glob – primarily plastic gunk floating between San Francisco, Calif., and Hawaii. It became the target … just weeks ago in September … of Operation Cleanup Project, pioneered by a 20-something Dutch inventor and entrepreneur named Boyan Slat. He designed and developed a floating contraption to suck in and sweep up plastic particles from the ocean. Slat raised more than $31 million in order to launch the initiative, so a lot of folks are betting on the full-scale deployment of his system. He says it can clean up 50 percent of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just five years. Go Boy Go. The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is an area at sea where plastic rubbish accumulates because of ocean currents, known as a gyre. Its vortex pulls waste into a central channel. A gyre operates something like slow-moving whirlpool.The Pacific patch is about twice the size of Texas and growing. The patch is believed to contain up to 330 pounds of plastic trash per square mile. There are plenty of skeptics about this grand scheme, but Slat has a few power hitters in his corner. One is Siân Sutherland, a British entrepreneur and co-founder of the advocacy group A Plastic Planet. She said: “Boyan Slat and the Operation Cleanup team are aiming to do something for all of us – clean up the mess we have made of our pristine oceans. Of course, it won’t be easy and there will be huge learnings along the way.” Writing an opinion column for a recent edition of the San Francisco Chronicle, two California-based scientists have endorsed the Operation Cleanup Project. They are Dr. Lawrence J. McQuillan, director of the Center on Entrepreneurial Innovation at the Independent Institute in Oakland, Calif., and colleague George L. Tibbitts, who is a policy researcher at the institute. They wrote: “Conventional methods of cleaning the ocean are prohibitively slow and costly. But (Slat’s) new venture … allows nature to do the legwork.” In their view, Operation Cleanup’s scientists have come up with a concept that is “simple but ingenious.” “A serpentine floater made of high-density polyethylene nearly seven football fields long rests on top of the ocean in a U-shape. An impermeable screen drapes under the floater and captures the buoyant plastic waste while allowing marine life to pass underneath safely with the current. Wind and waves propel the floater faster than the plastic submerged in the current, allowing the plastic to be captured.” McQuillan and Tibbitts continued: “The system is towed into position by ships that also gather the accumulated plastic once the system is full. The waste is brought back to land for processing, recycling and resale.” Who are they going to give it to? Could be this whole project needs a “boots on the ground” champion back in the good old U.S.A. Here’s a nomination for Oscar the Grouch, who lives alongside 123 Sesame Street.

accomplish larger goals.” The once-left-for-dead US paper straw industry is now surging. For years, Aardvark Straws of Fort Wayne, Ind., was “the sole U.S. producer of paper straws.” Aardvark Straws operated as a division of Precision Products Group, based in Indianapolis, Ind. The brand was sold Aug. 6, 2018, to Hoffmaster Group Inc. of Oshkosh, Wis., a leading manufacturer of disposable tableware and paper products. Since 2016, Hoffmaster has been owned by Wellspring Capital Management LLC, a private equity firm based in New York City. Reporting for Industrial Equipment News, Eric Sorensen and Jeff Reinke wrote that Aardvark had experienced steady year-over-year growth until 2017 – when it saw sales increase by 5,000 percent. “Hoffmaster hopes to capitalize on the product’s momentum by ramping up manufacturing capacity, investing in more equipment and potentially seeking a larger production facility over the next six months. The workforce could also double from the current 60 employees,” according to Sorensen and Reinke. Considerable improvements have been made in the plastic straw since it was invented 130 years ago – in 1888 by Marvin Chester Stone – as such a simple device. It seems that in the late 1800s, gentlemen often sipped their whiskey drinks through long tubes made of natural rye that lent a grassy flavor to the drink. Stone was disgusted by the leakage, so he wound paper around a pencil to make a thin tube, slid out the pencil from one end, and applied glue between the strips. The 21st century paper straw is stronger, more durable and doesn’t get soggy. Plus, it’s naturally degradable and compostable.

Today, in the United States alone, consumers use as many as 500 million straws each day. That is more than 1½ for every American on a daily basis. The campaign to eliminate plastic straws from entering the waste stream is grassroots conservation, and Aardvark’s global business director David Rhodes acknowledges that “straws are the poster child, the gateway to getting people to think more about this, and the only viable, renewable, responsible option is a paper straw.” Fatzinger said ridding the ocean of plastics “is a staggering, uphill battle, but a challenge we must all embrace. We must act with our wallets, we must speak on behalf of the animals and habitats being negatively impacted. It’s not hard to change behaviors, it just takes conscious efforts to understand and make better decisions.” Michael Murdoch, who is chair of the Croatan Group of the North Carolina Sierra Club, said that although the “floating islands of garbage/plastics are a disaster, the bigger problem is the trash and plastic that we do not see, the micro particles that come from a variety of sources including plastic fibers in the garment industry and the thousands of other items we use in everyday life.” “While I think ocean cleanup efforts should continue, I do not believe we can clean our way out of the problem,” Murdoch added. “We have to stop it at its source and reject many of the plastics we use and find alternatives.” “The Sierra Club, in conjunction with Surfrider Foundation and others, is also involved in the effort to get local restaurants to eliminate plastic straws,” he said. “It’s is a small thing but symbolic of where and how to start reducing plastics. Everything flows to the oceans no matter where it is deposited, so we on the coast are at the cusp of the problem. It will require a gargantuan effort – will we be up to the challenge?”

A September to Remember This year’s saying could very well be, “Off to the races!” It’s been a good and busy year for Pine Knoll Shores. Many issues have come up, including ordinance enforcement and tree and building ordinances. My objective is just to remind you of some of the ordinances and what the enforcement has done for us. My first example is the coyote problem. We had a huge problem that at times seemed was getting worse exponentially. We had several meetings and the resounding opinions were to quit feeding them with trash and cat food, and to harass them so they will stay away. We also put out the word that putting trash in bags only was not fixing anything, so people have for the most part gotten trash cans to put the bags in. I have not heard a lot about coyotes these days, and I don’t hear them so much at night. I know of people still feeding their cats with food left out all the time, but I’m here to ask you to stop. I feel we’ve made a lot of headway, and we need to keep heading in the right direction. We are a Tree City USA, and want to keep it that way. Ordinances are in place for the common good of all citizens, not to harm the citizens or their wallets. Your commissioners and I have heard a resounding number of complaints, and I, for one, and all of the town commissioners agree, that there are far too many trees falling victim to our storm water ordinance. This was addressed at the August commissioners meeting and a fix has been put in place to put good

judgement and common sense in place of the ordinances. Drainage has become a problem and engineered systems were being put in the ground and trees ripped out. Trees drink a tremendous amount of water. They also make some pretty good oxygen that we humans need, provide shade and protection and keep our property values up. All positive reasons to keep more trees! A huge safety concern since we installed them has been our crosswalks. The only version of what people in our town are saying we need, are the pedestrian activated crosswalk signs in front of the Dollar General in Atlantic Beach. Complacency is the issue with the flashing lights we currently have in town. This issue is going to get a whole lot more attention and I’m hoping to get some state “safety money” to help us pay for them. These lights are $24,000 per crosswalk with a sign facing each way. So if we have these lights at the crosswalks we currently have, we need a total of $72,000 to do the project. I want to send a huge “Thank you!” to our PKS Police Team for a safe and good summer. They took on the challenges like professionals! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all of you who continue to volunteer to keep our town and our citizens safe, energized and beautiful! If you aren’t currently volunteering, please come over to town hall and fill in the one page application. Without your help we are missing a key ingredient to our town’s community!

Life in the South

South Develops its Taste for Cheese An artisan cheese industry is beginning to emerge throughout the South. Writing for the quality of life website Livability.com, freelance journalist Stephanie Stewart-Howard of Franklin, Tenn., reported: “The South is known for abundant food traditions … but cheesemaking hadn’t been one of them.” Until now, that is. Stewart-Howard interviewed Kathleen Cotter, proprietor of East Nashville’s Bloomy Rind artisan cheese shop, who says “the growing interest in artisan cheeses springs from the public’s growing commitment to knowing where their food comes from and what’s in it.” (Cotter is a highly respected cheesehead and fondly known as the “dairy queen” of Nashville, Tenn.) “For many Southern dairy farmers who are working on a commodity level and dealing with arbitrarily set milk prices regardless of the cost of production … artisan cheese and dairy products are added value,” Cotter says. “Farmers can determine their own price for handcrafted cheese, butter and yogurt, and it helps them make a living,” Cotter says. “There are also young people deciding on farming as a career, and older individuals taking it on as a second career, based on their interest in artisan foods. “We’re seeing more aged cheeses here (in the South) now, and they’re getting better and better,” Cotter says. Her favorite “Great Southern Cheese” place is Sequatchie Cove Farm and Sequatchie Cove Creamery in Tennessee. Sequatchie is a word attributed to the Native American Cherokee tribe, meaning (more or less) “place of the grinning opossum.” Located near the small, unincorporated village of Sequatchie in Marion County, the family-owned farm and creamery are about 30 miles northwest of Chattanooga. The farm is bordered by the Little Sequatchie River and surrounded by thousands of acres of pristine Tennessee wilderness. The serenity of the environment keeps the cows free of stress. “While North Carolina is already home to more than 40 licensed cheesemakers, and even has a Western North Carolina Cheese Trail, if you have to pick one, go with Looking Glass Creamery in Fairview near Asheville,” suggests Cotter. Looking Glass is ranked fifth on her all-Southern cheese list, and the creamery’s repertoire includes cow, goat and sheep’s milk cheeses. Ashe County Cheese Company in West Jefferson is the state’s largest and oldest cheesemaker. The original plant was built in 1930 by the Kraft Corporation, consolidating smaller operations that had sprung up around the area’s many dairy farms. The cheese factory in West Jefferson had the size and technology necessary to distribute cheese nationwide, but Kraft sold the operation in 1975 to an investor, and the plant has been privately held since then, evolving through a series of owners. Today, next to the factory stand three large milk tanks, shaped and painted to look like cows. (Each cow-tank contains 5,000 gallons of milk waiting to be made into cheese.) Our State magazine sent writer Sarah Junek to West Jefferson 60

to investigate. She found “the 23-foot-long steel Holsteins guarding their patch of ground and fenced in by red petunias and sunflowers.” Josh Williams, co-owner of Ashe County Cheese, said he enlisted local artist Stephen Willingham and Rusty Rogers, the welding teacher at Ashe County High School, to help fabricate a plan and then execute it, making the tanks look like cows. Rogers says the project “came at the busiest time of the year for the kids, as they were preparing for finals and welding certifications, but the project offered real-world pressure and a chance to hone untested skills. They had to jump in with what they already knew and apply it.” Thomas Miles, who was a senior in the class and now works fulltime as a welder, said the cows helped start his career. The cows have become a tourist attraction, but they need to have names, so folks can better connect with them. Since the dairy cattle are females, but the “founding fathers” of Ashe County are male, it may take a bit of a chronological compromise. Cow One could be “Gussie.” In 1752, Bishop Augustus Spangenberg, a Moravian Church minister, traversed the land and kept a record of his visit. He described the winter storms encountered: “I think I have never felt a winter wind so strong and so cold. The ground was covered with snow; water froze by the fire.” Even though the group met hardship, the Bishop concluded “the land was suitable for agriculture and raising cattle.” Cow Two could be “Sammy.” Ashe County was incorporated in 1799, and named for North Carolina Gov. Samuel Ashe, who served from 1795-98 as the state’s ninth governor. Cow Three could be “T.J.” The county seat was named Jefferson, in honor of Thomas Jefferson, who became the third US president in 1801. Gussie, Sammy and T.J. are good cow names, wouldn’t you say? We’ll forward this suggestion along to the Ashe County Chamber of Commerce, just for the fun of it. Mike Wagoner

club news PKS Women’s Club Membership in the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club is about more than just attending monthly meetings. Since its founding in 1984 the club’s mission has been to provide for intellectual advancement of its members and promotion of community and social interaction. Fulfillment of the club’s mission comes in many forms focusing on providing stimulating lectures on topics of broad interest, investing in the community through donations of time and money to a wide variety of county charities, providing an annual scholarship to a deserving student at Carteret Community College and providing opportunities for members, their spouses and guests to enjoy social gatherings. These goals are achieve through the following: Monthly Meetings: The club meets monthly, September through June for fellowship, featured speakers and to conduct club business. Customarily, monthly meetings are held on the fourth Friday of the month at PKS Town Hall at 9:30am for refreshments with meeting beginning at 10. In addition to regular meetings, a Christmas and end of year Officer’s Installation Luncheon are held at local venues. Special Interest Groups: These groups allow members to participate in special activities that appeal to them. They include: Three book clubs that meet monthly in members homes, at the library or at local restaurants; Cook’s Nite Out, open to all members and their spouses and guests, who meet periodically at nearby restaurants to sample local dining offerings, enjoy a change of pace and perhaps meet new neighbors& reconnect with old friends; Tapas Club, formerly the Supper Club, meets several times a year in members’ homes and other local venues with spouses and

friends to enjoy drinks, appetizers and conversation. Charitable Donations: The club’s goal of investing in the community has focused on providing financial support to a wide array of local charities over the years including the Bogue Banks Library, the Broad Street Clinic, Boys’ and Girls’ Club, Domestic Violence Program and Crystal Coast Hospice House among others. The centerpiece of the club’s charitable giving is its annual college scholarship program, funds for which are raised through a very successful annual fashion show organized by the Women’s Club. Another very rewarding club initiative is participation in the Mile of Hope Program, a weekend getaway for children undergoing cancer treatment. Club members also assist during the town’s Kayak for the Warriors event which raises funds to benefit wounded servicemen. Women’s Club members secure donations of food and auction items, assist as servers at the reception, and help to coordinate the silent auction fundraiser as well as prepare and serve desserts at the reception. So, even if you are unable to attend monthly meetings, or despair at the thought of fitting another monthly meeting into your schedule, you still can enjoy the many benefits of membership in the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club. For more information about the club attend a meeting or contact club President Betty Thomas at bettythomas48@ gmail.com or at 252-240-2398. The October meeting of the club will be held on Friday, Oct. 26 at Town Hall at 9:30am. The guest speaker will be Kathryn Hudson speaking about Reiki therapy.

Autumn Kitchens We’re beach people, you and I, finding kinship among those who have made our homes and vacation homes on this beautiful island off the Carolina coast. When Memorial Day arrives we are our happiest selves finding our summer soul again on sizzling beaches and during balmy ocean swims. Islanders know, too a deep connection to our other beloved season, autumn days with the most sapphire skies of the entire year, the sun lower in the sky but still thrillingly warm with the whisper of cooler days ahead. These are also the days when we long to return to the kitchen. Cooling summer meals of cold shrimp salad, tomatoes layered with basil and fresh mozzarella, Bogue Sound watermelon sprinkled with feta and a dash of lemon scented olive oil give way to rich eastern North Carolina fish stews, the first oyster roast, butternut squash, newly cured sweet potatoes, scuppernong grapes, and pies crafted from the mountain grown apples that have traveled through the Piedmont of our great state and found their way to coastal farmer markets. This return to happy hours in my kitchen in the fall of the year is my compensation for giving up those lingering days of summer on the beach. If America is famously food obsessed, then southerners, especially North Carolinians, have always been so. You show me what’s in your mama and grandmama’s recipe box and I’ll tell you where you’re from! You tell me what is in your beach house kitchen and I’ll tell you whether your idea of a late afternoon and evening well spent is in your kitchen or in your favorite local restaurant! I can promise you this, your beach house rental guests want to arrive to a kitchen where they can indulge their fantasy of playing chef for their gathered friends and family for the week. On your next September or October visit to the island, take stock of your kitchen and I have a well-tested method I am happy to share. Working within categories, the best method is to take every item out of its cabinet or drawer. I usually begin with glasses and stemware, lining everything up where you can easily begin a process of discernment. Cloudy and etched glasses and stemware go in to the pile to be donated to one of our local charitable thrift stores. If you have anticipated the need for new wine glasses and other drinking glasses you can pack the old, distressed glassware straight into those compartmentalized boxes. Be sure to include acrylic or plastic drinking glasses for enjoying beverages on the deck and for small children. Carefully organize glassware in cabinets then tackle the next category, silverware. The mismatched silverware left behind by guests? Add them to your charity pile. Kitchen utensils are next and it’s astonishing once all of these items are arrayed on your

counter. If you have too many of the same item, add to the charity pile or store in your locked owner’s closet. Rusty items must go in the trash. Every decent home cook knows that sharp, high quality knives are essential. If yours are cheap, dull beyond redemption, or rusty, discard or donate. Invest in great knives that can be re-sharpened, a knife block, sharpening tool, and a good set of small utility knives for vegetable prep. Breeze through the next category, your bowls, saucers, mugs and dishes and discard or donate every item that is chipped. As before, mismatched items should be donated as well. People love to bake at the beach so be sure you have top quality liquid and dry measuring cups and measuring spoons. From there consider your baking pans, muffin pans, cake pans and the workhorse of the kitchen, 3-4 rimmed “half sheet” baking sheets that we love for roasting vegetables, too. Glass bakeware is essential as well for casseroles and hearty lasagnas. Now you are ready to tackle the large items, your pots and pans. Once again, I recommend you pull every pot, pan and frying pan out from their hiding place in those sometimes hard to reach lower cabinets and array them on your counters. If your nonstick pots and frying pans have scratches, discard. If your stainless steel cookware is hopelessly dented, stained or rusty, discard or donate. If your cast iron frying pan is rusty, take the time to re-season it with oil in a slow oven. If you haven’t already done so, invest in heavy, good quality pots, pans and nonstick frying pans (8”, 10” and 12”). A must for all beach house kitchens is an extra-large pot for boiling or steaming pounds of shrimp, crabs and fresh ears of corn; the classic is the blue enamel pot with steamer insert. You’ve spent a day organizing the kitchen and can now enjoy the quiet joy of opening cabinet doors and kitchen drawers to see everything lined up just so, waiting for the delights of meal prep and happy hours in the kitchen for talented home cooks with whom you will share this very kitchen. It may be a platitude, but the kitchen truly is the heart of the home. Soon we will celebrate a bountiful year, another good harvest in America with my favorite holiday of the year, Thanksgiving. Give thanks for the loving times you have gathered around your beach house dining table with dearest friends and relatives, especially those who are no longer among us. Give thanks for beach house kitchens and all the ways they feed us body and soul. Julia Batten Wax Broker/Owner, Emerald Isle Realty jwax@EIRealty.com

www.budgetblinds.com ISLAND REVIEW • October 2018

OCTOBER ARIES (March 21-April 20) Keep track of yourself this month. Review your schedule frequently. You never know which learning experiences will come your way. Think about how they make you feel. The planets will bring significant changes and breakthroughs early this month. Even last-minute disruptions can’t derail your success. Information that seems suspect on the surface may turn out to be much more if you’re willing to dig a little deeper, Aries. Do not discount anything. If you want to be a pioneer, you have to trust yourself and take some risks. Find ways to expand your social circle and attend as many events as you can. It is remarkable what you can accomplish if you just focus, without any distractions.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Taurus, your mind is buzzing like a bee and it can be challenging to find some time to relax. Do not worry, your thoughts will soon put you on the path you need to take. This will be a potent week for you, as you will be called upon to solidify and strengthen others. Help individuals find the power of their purpose. If faced with a few different scenarios, do not immediately pick the path of least resistance. Sometimes the best reward is earned with some sweat equity. Do not worry about pleasing everyone. Doing so is impossible and will zap you of the energy you need to devote to those who truly matter to you. Take the initiative on a project and you could be surprised at just how much that will work in your favor.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Some hectic mornings may be on the horizon. Schedule meetings in the afternoon when you are ready and have full brain power in effect. Try stretching yourself creatively, Gemini. The results can be surprising when you think outside of the box and leave your comfort zone. With confidence, you can succeed. If social engagements seem to be slim pickings, you may have to broaden your social circle just a bit. Try putting a toe into new waters for a change of scenery. Focus some energy on romantic plans during the middle of the month. Develop an idea for a dinner as a couple, or a friends’ night out with others. After a few early bumps, things will be smooth sailing for you for the remainder of the month.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Things may seem tight and rigid this early this month, Cancer. That just means it is up to you to lighten things up. Consider a few jokes to put coworkers in a good mood. Be more thorough with your communications because someone might miss the memo if you do not get the point across effectively. You don’t want to repeat and follow up. Put your money where your mouth is regarding any important issue that arises. You must lead by example, and you’re fully capable of doing so. If you want to improve your bottom line, you may need to seek the advice of a professional. Make an appointment to see how to better manage your

ISLAND REVIEW • October 2018

funds. An opportunity to escape the humdrum of the week and really let loose might present itself at the end of the month.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, you need to look at your emotions intellectually at the beginning of the month; otherwise, your feelings may be hard to discern. Think through actions before you put them in motion. Some sunny days are ahead. Make the most of the positive situations you find yourself in, and don’t hesitate to share your good fortune with others. Don’t let a minor setback derail all of the plans you have been working on for so long. This can be easily remedied with the right people offering their support. Keep close friends close, but see if there are any opportunities to widen your network. Networking is an important skill to master. It could serve you well.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22)

to think on your feet and find amenable solutions to problems. Don’t underestimate the advantages of this skill. Something you believe to be irreparable can be fixed after all.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Be careful not to overdo things, Sagittarius. You may want to jump right in to a gym workout or financial project. It’s good to be exuberant, but exercise caution, too. Important shifts and movements this can turn everything you have been working toward on its head. Remain calm and patient to see things through. Take a break mid-month and reconnect with some of the fun activities that you used to do to amuse yourself. Think like a kid and go to a zoo, aquarium or park. Changes may be heading your way. Handle it with grace. Look for opportunities for growth with anything that comes your way. Do not be afraid of new knowledge.

Prepare for some surprises early this month. Processes will be introduced either by you or someone close to you, with interesting results. This is your time to excel. Focus on the significance of an important task that comes your way. There is meaning behind this work, and you must discover it. You do not need an engraved invitation to attend an event that could put you in a position of power and influence. Walk into the party with flair and confidence. It is OK to make mistakes if it is a matter of personal growth. Sometimes the most valuable lessons are learned by making a mistake and correcting it. There is always a master plan and sometimes you are not privy to all the information that illustrates that. Be patient.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20)

LIBRA (September 23-October 23)

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18)

Life is going well for you in most respects, Libra. But there is always room for a little improvement. Now is a great time to take advantage of good fortune and push ahead. Mischief makers are in full force. You aren’t quite sure if you are ready to jump into the frivolity. Keep your space until you decide how to proceed. When someone seeks your advice you are always willing to give it. Just do not freely offer unsolicited advice all the time or friends could view it as lecturing. Family ties have you pulled in one direction when you may have your eyes focused in another. With some careful shuffling, you can likely find a balance. Information you received may not have been entirely accurate. You have to parse out the facts from the fiction to get the true story.

Aquarius, don’t be surprised if one day this month you wake up with inspiration that wasn’t there the night before. Keep an eye out for strokes of genius. Build more bridges that give you access to influence. This will help you see plans through at work, and this success will spill over into your personal life. Utilize all of the special skills you have at your disposal. You just may need every tool in your arsenal to get through an upcoming project. Certain things are inevitable. But you can adapt to many different situations and make them work for you. You may have to change your communication tactics when dealing with a particular person. A rift can be resolved with considerate discussion.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) Scorpio, this month you are likely working out something important in your mind that can help clarify your emotions. The answer you get may be different from what you expected. Be honest with yourself and others when prompted for feedback. Your honesty will be a feather in your cap, and others will appreciate your straightforward approach. Disagreements can cause emotions to run hot. It is best if you find a cool-down measure so that problems do not escalate – especially this month. Awkward situations give you the opportunity

It is challenging to prevent your temper from getting the best of you sometimes. But hostility is not the way to handle a sticky situation. Unforeseen circumstances leave you feeling a bit weary. You should cling to someone who has his or her feet firmly planted on the ground for support. You’re on the cusp of mastering a skill you have been honing for awhile. Use an opportunity this week to celebrate your hard-earned success. Capricorn, sometimes the best ideas come when you aren’t focused on finding solutions to problems. Keep an open mind. Mistakes happen no matter how careful you are. How you recover from the situation is a true indication of the person you are.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Sometimes you are prone to acting on impulse, Pisces. This month you need to align your head and heart on the same plane to forge ahead. Explosive energy can come your way if you are willing and able to welcome it. Others may be inspired by what you accomplish. You may need to take a trip to become fully recharged. New experiences and new sights can be good for the soul. Channel your creative energy into something lucrative if you can. This may be just what you need to turn a passion into a career. With patience you can tackle a difficult project that has had you bogged down.

money matters Five Reasons to Use Credit During Holidays The average American shopper will spend around $975 on holiday gifts, according to past spending trends and estimates from the American Research Group and the National Retail Federation. Although shoppers have various payment options at their disposal, the use of credit cards remains a popular and financially savvy way to handle purchases, albeit when done correctly. 1. Build your credit history. Creditors look at how individuals use credit cards when determining credit scores. One of the biggest components of a credit scoring model is payment history, or the pattern of using credit and paying it back on time. Making repeated purchases on credit cards and then paying the bill when it is due can result in a spike in credit score and help consumers build a healthy credit history. The key is to make payments in full and on time. 2. Credit is safer than carrying cash. Stores are very busy during the holiday rush, and consumers are easily distracted. Carrying around large sums of cash for purchases can put you at risk for theft or losing the money along the way. There’s little chance of having lost or stolen cash returned, but a credit card can be cancelled and replaced. Plus, financial institutions have security protocols in place to freeze accounts and erase purchases that were made under fraudulent scenarios.

3. Track your purchases. Credit card companies track all purchases and will itemize shopping excursions on cardholders’ statements. This can make it much easier to keep track of your spending. In addition, some stores do not require receipts for purchases made with credit cards. 4. Earn reward points while spending. Competition in the credit card world is stiff, and many financial institutions are trying to entice customers with special deals for signing up and using their cards. Some credit cards give cash back. Others accrue points based on spending on particular categories, such as dining or travel. Rewards can be redeemed in various ways and can be a big bonus of using credit over cash. 5. Cards may come with warranties. Credit cards can provide built-in warranties on purchases made on the card, such as replacement coverage for an electronic device or cancellation insurance on a trip. What’s more, if you have a dispute with a merchant or aren’t happy with something you bought, you can often request a chargeback through the credit card company. Credit cards have many advantages, but it’s imperative that consumers pay their balances in full and on time.
