Let’s Explore Diabetes With Owls

By David Sedaris NORTH CAROLINA’S OWN David Sedaris has added to his collection of bestsellers with this latest selection of his satirical essays. Even though he spends much of his time in Paris, New York and now England, he has not lost his Southern humorous edge. “Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls” is prompted by the author’s present day experiences and his upbringing in Raleigh as a child.

Sedaris writes that when he turned 50 he rediscovered swimming. He recalls his years at the Raleigh Country Club on the swim team with his sisters where his ribbons were usually for good sportsmanship. The chapter is titled, “Memory Laps” and he remembers his father’s encouragement, “You know what you are? A big fat zero.” David’s recollections of his dad are classic and he states in one place, “I forgot my father isn’t dead.”

This humorist has a way of taking those situations we all have in common and adding his hilarious bent. He tells of a sales phone

McCausley Carpet Care 252-764-2342

Serving all the Crystal Coast

call in which the sales rep finally asks if he can call back and just talk sometime, not about his product, but just talk about life. Many of us would love to just talk with David and benefit from his take on life. His tribulations are certainly exaggerated, but he spins them in such a way that you want to listen. His goal is your amusement.

Observation is the gift Sedaris uses to the fullest. He spots young mothers, “chauffeuring their volcanic 3-year olds through the grocery store,” calling out their presidential names like McKinley, Madison and Kennedy. He watches a man make a citizens’ arrest of a boy inscribing graffiti on a mailbox only to be accosted by the boy’s protective parents.

David’s keen eye misses little.

Sedaris tells of moving to the countryside of England and how the people there commonly throw trash out beside the road. He became obsessed with picking it up. He writes that if you pick up litter people think, “it’s court-mandated community service.” Not many people can make rubbish a subject of humor like this author. He asks, “What did my life consist of before this?” Even the most mundane of experiences become the subjects of his clever outlook on life.

The thing is, David Sedaris also knows how to move his readers. From befriending a new girl at his school after desegregation to learning how to love oneself, he surprises with sentimental comments. Sometimes this book is shockingly crude and other times it is amazingly touching.

All through it is a special glimpse into the human condition.

In Celebration of Tourism and Our Visitors to the Crystal Coast THE WORD TOURISM first entered the Western European lexicon in 1811 with the rise of new social systems that allowed travel for leisure, relaxation, cultural stimulation and pleasure; in short, all the same reasons for which tourists visit North Carolina today.

And visit they do to the tune of $19.4 billion in 2012. Tourism also generated a record $974 million in state and local taxes.

Just in Carteret County alone the tourism payroll was an incredible $49 million last year. North Carolina is the sixth most visited state in the US and our gorgeous beaches are some of our most popular destinations.

These are fantastic numbers for all of us who are engaged in the hospitality industry on the Crystal Coast, and of course, that includes you as the owner of vacation rental property. We are one of Carteret County’s true business success stories and have seen steady and sometimes exponential growth in our tourism product. The significant question is how to ensure that we remain an integral partner with local and state government in these challenging economic times. The answer is one that comes naturally to North Carolinians – be a great storyteller and share the good news with our elected officials so we are never taken for granted.

At a recent Crystal Coast tourism gathering we heard from several key partners just why we are so successful. Wit Tuttle, speaking on behalf of the NC Dept. of Travel and Tourism, let us know that at the state level we are one of their strongest

partners, always willing to host travel writers and give them a taste of our rich coastal heritage, phenomenal beaches, divine restaurants that bring out the inner foodie and adventures for the sports enthusiast. As a result, North Carolina’s Crystal Coast has received great print, television and online media coverage.

The state tourism brand strategy in the coming year is “simple pleasures, deep connections.”

Curtis Zimmerman of the Zimmerman Agency, which provides marketing and public relations services for the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority, described the true hidden secret of why the Crystal Coast is so successful.

Zimmerman cited that it is the pride, passion and love of place that the people of Carteret County bring to the table, which makes us such an engaging and endearing destination for our visitors. That joyous enthusiasm ensures an authentic experience. Additionally, of all the destinations that the Zimmerman Agency represents, ours has an exceptional product with a spectrum of experiences that guarantees visitors will want to return again and again.

Our vacation rental homes are truly one of our loveliest assets, whether an elegant Sand Castle, a classic Carolina cottage or a luxurious beach front condo. Other islands may have more rental properties, but thanks to your efforts to refurbish and refresh your beach home, each year our visitors have confidence that their family will enjoy not only our wonderful beaches, but have a comfortable, delightful stay.

Zimmerman got it right ... it is our pride of place, our passion for welcoming our visitors that will continue to keep the Crystal Coast as a favorite coastal destination. Zimmerman’s vision?

Let’s make the Crystal Coast THE preferred beach from Virginia to Georgia. Oh happy day when we can drop the “southern Outer Banks” from our message ... and the Outer Banks begin calling themselves the “northern Crystal Coast”!

Summertime is here, days of sand and sea and sunshine.

Welcome back visitors to the Crystal Coast, we are sure glad you came to stay with us again this year.

Commissioners Side with Commercial Fishermen

FURNITURE & APPLIANCES

SOUND

THE CARTERET COUNTY Board of Commissioners took a stand in support of commercial fishermen on May 6, opposing the designation of spotted sea trout, red drum and striped bass as gamefish in North Carolina.

On the other side of this issue are the recreational fishermen who want legislation (House Bill 983) to make these three species off limits to commercial fishermen.

The county commissioners approved a resolution, asking legislators to enable both commercial fishermen and recreational fishermen to continue to harvest spotted sea trout, red drum and striped bass. Here is some of the wording: “Designating these species as gamefish will deprive consumers … access to locally harvested sustainable seafood … and adversely affect not only North Carolina businessmen who commercially fish and are small, family-operated businesses.”

Additionally, the commissioners noted the potential negative impact on “coastal and inland restaurants that serve local seafood to consumers, businesses that sell gear and supplies to fishermen, retail businesses that sell local fish to consumers and other businesses associated with North Carolina’s commercial fishing industry, which provides many jobs...”

Furthermore, the commissioners maintain “allocating 100 percent of a public resource to a specific user group that comprises less than 3 percent of North Carolina’s population is unbalanced and hence unfair.”

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2013

Also at its May 6 meeting, the commissioners voiced their opposition to a proposal from the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to designate 96 miles in North Carolina and the entire shoreline of Bogue Banks in Carteret County as “critical habitat” for loggerhead sea turtles.

Essentially, the commissioners said they believe the federal intervention is unnecessary and could have a serious, negative impact on the local, regional and state economy, while restricting the public’s access and enjoyment of the beaches.

In its resolution to oppose the USFWS proposal, the board of commissioners contends that USFWS has “ignored successful measures already in place as coastal governments such as Carteret County have constructed and maintain active shore damage reduction projects, which not only provide protection of and benefits to public and private infrastructure, small businesses, the tourism industry, public recreation and state and local tax bases; but also maintain and enhance habitat for loggerhead sea turtles.”

“If ‘critical habitat’ is designated, some of these existing and successful programs will be burdened with additional and unnecessary regulations, and therefore will become more costly, which will increase the threat to the loggerhead sea turtle and its habitat,” the resolution states.

chamber connection

Chamber Presents Annual Awards THE “TEACHER” AND the “student” were recognized recently by the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce as the “Citizens of the Year.”

Rodney Kemp said he was honored to be asked to present the annual award to Atlantic Beach resident Cap’n Jim Willis, because “he has learned so much about ‘banksology’ from Cap’n Jim through the years” and considers him as his hero and elder mentor. Cap’n Jim said he was humbled to be asked to present the award to Rodney, who is Carteret County’s most celebrated historian and storyteller.

“I admire Rodney and find his stories fascinating. That’s why I have taken his class at Carteret Community College for 26 years,” he said.

Each of them came to the chamber’s Crystal Ball at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City on April 19 prepared to recognize the other as Citizen of the Year.

“Both of these gentlemen have contributed immeasurably to the heritage and culture of Carteret County,” said Mal Garland, the chamber’s past chair of the board of directors, who served as master of ceremonies.

“Every recent class of Leadership Carteret has had the opportunity to hear from them about the legends and lore of our communities, and as presenters, they are in a league of their own. We surprised them, and they are exceptionally worthy recipients of Citizen of the Year Awards,” Garland said.

The current board chair Mary Carlyle Brown introduced a new chamber award, the “Pro Operibus Civilibus” Award, to recognize an individual from the public sector for outstanding civic deeds.

“It was only right and proper that we present this new award posthumously in memory of our beloved, longtime legislator and friend, the late Sen. Jean Preston of Emerald Isle, who passed away on Jan. 10 of this year,” Brown said.

“Jean Preston had two careers. She was an extraordinary educator, who served as a classroom teacher, a special education teacher and director and as a school principal. She was elected to represent Carteret County in the State House of Representatives in 1992. Jean served seven terms in the House, before being elected in 2006 to the state Senate, serving Carteret, Craven and Pamlico counties.

“We shall remember always her bright smile and caring attitude toward all her constituents. In her special way, she touched all of the people in Carteret County.”

Chef Floyd Olmstead of Floyd’s 1921 Restaurant in Morehead City received the chamber’s Arnold Murray Small Business Person of the Year Award. Floyd formerly served as executive chef at The Royal Pavillion on the beach, but he and his wife, Shana, opened their own restaurant in 2005.

The Debbie Godwin Ambassador of the Year Award was presented to Debbie Fisher, who is affiliated with four chamber member businesses. She is a sales director with Mary Kay Cosmetics, and her other business interests are Office Fusion Solutions, the Professional Development Center and Coastal Heritage Construction & Realty.

The Cassie Algeo Award for Extraordinary Chamber Leadership was presented to Mal Garland of Sound Bank, who joined the chamber board in 2007 and served three years as chamber treasurer, prior to becoming chair.

For more information, call the chamber at 800-622-6278 or 252726-6350, or email mike@nccoastchamber.com. The chamber office is located at 801 Arendell St., Suite 1, Morehead City, NC 28557.

mayor’s notes

Terrell Horne III Way ON MAY 4, the portion of Station Street on which the Coast Guard Station is located was renamed Terrell Horne III Way. Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne, III was the executive petty officer at Station Emerald Isle from 2009 to 2011. On Dec. 2, 2012 he was killed in the line of duty while conducting law enforcement operations in California. Senior Chief Horne and his crew in a Coast Guard vessel were attempting to stop a suspected smuggling vessel. Rather than stopping, the suspected vessel accelerated at a high rate of speed and rammed the Coast Guard vessel. Senior Chief Horne took action to save members of his crew and was awarded the Coast Guard Medal. Unfortunately, Senior Chief Horne died as a result of the ramming.

Senior Chief Horne is survived by his wife Rachel and three young sons.

Rachel and her sons now live in

ISLAND REVIEW • June 2013

Charleston, SC, close to her parents, and Mayor Art Schools were in Emerald Isle May 3 along with her parents, in-laws and other family for the renaming of the street.

May 3 was an overcast heavy sprinkle day in Emerald Isle. In spite of the weather, many people turned out for the ceremony.

Local Coast Guard personnel, the local Auxiliary Coast Guard personnel, Coast Guard from other stations, Emerald Isle staff and elected officials, law enforcement from many other agencies, Rachel’s neighbors when they were stationed in Emerald Isle and neighbors of the Coast Guard Station all turned out.

The reason I mention all of these is to try to convey that there is tremendous respect for Senior Chief Horne and all of the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station. For the most part, Emerald Isle Coast Guard personnel are only stationed in Emerald Isle for three years. However, new personnel hit the ground running and become a member of the community immediately. No one has been more community minded than Senior Chief Horne.

His loss of life was not only a tremendous loss to his family, but was a tremendous loss to society; because he was making a difference.

The street address for the Emerald Isle Coast Guard Station will forever be 11101 Terrell Horne III Way in memory of Senior Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne, III. With heavy boating season now here, I would be remiss if I didn’t remind everyone to exercise safety in the operation of their boat. The Coast Guard is there to help you, but when you get in trouble Coast Guard personnel often get into dangerous situations in rescuing you.

TOWN STAFF IS ready for another great summer in Emerald Isle, and welcome everyone to enjoy all that Emerald Isle has to offer!

Town staff will be working hard to provide the best possible services for our residents and visitors: • Thanks to a recent beach nourishment project, the entire beach strand is wide and beautiful!

• Lifeguards at the town’s two regional accesses and roving Beach Patrol services along the entire beach strand will begin May 20 and continue throughout the summer.

• Emerald Isle Police Dept. will have additional police presence on the beach strand and in the town all summer long.

• Weekend fees are now being collected at the town’s two regional accesses, and will continue throughout the summer. Emerald Isle taxpayers are eligible for free parking permits.

• New, wider steps have been added at the Western Ocean Regional Access.

• The Emerald Isle Public Boating Access Area has four free launch ramps and plenty of parking.

• Bogue Inlet is in great shape, with a clear navigable channel throughout the entire length. (A new survey is available here.)

• Town crews have the Hwy 58 right of way looking beautiful.

• Free, weekly EmeraldFest concerts begin June 20 at the Western Ocean Regional Access.

Weekly performers will play from 6:30-8pm each Thursday evening through Aug. 22.

• July 4th fireworks will be fired from Bogue Inlet Pier over the oceanfront.

Please contact town staff at 252-354-3424 if we can be helpful in addressing any issues or concerns. Have fun!

FY 13-14 Recommended Budget Presented

The town manager’s FY 13-14 Recommended Budget is now available for public review. The board of commissioners will thoroughly review and consider the Recommended Budget in May and June, and is expected to adopt a new FY 13-14 budget at its June 11 meeting.

The Recommended Budget retains the town’s current 11.5 cent General Fund property tax rate for the town’s current operations, and also includes a 1-cent increase (for a total rate of 12.5 cents) to fund several community improvements. The board of commissioners has not yet decided on the 1cent increase for the “community improvements package,” and will make that decision in conjunction with the adoption of the FY 13-14 budget in June.

Hurricane Season Nearly Upon Us - Make Sure You Have Your Re-Entry Permit!

The town utilizes a hurricane re-entry permit system to control access to the town after a severe hurricane event. Each property previously received permanent re-entry permits, and these permits are intended to be transferred with the property. If you are a property owner, and do not have your permit or need an additional permit, please visit the town administration building or call 252-354-3424 to secure a re-entry permit. The cost for a replacement or additional permit is $25.

Please check to make sure you have your permit now. Please don’t wait until the storm is approaching to secure a new re-entry permit, as the lines are often long and town staff is also busy preparing the town for potential hurricane impacts. Thanks for your cooperation and patience!

Police Department Offers Free Gun Locks

The Emerald Isle Police Department is participating in Project Childsafe, a nationwide program whose purpose is to promote safe firearms handling and storage practices among all firearms owners. The police department is distributing free firearm safety kits that include a gun-locking device and educational brochure. Please visit the Emerald Isle Police Station at 7500 Emerald Drive to get your free kit, or call 252-354-2021 for more information.

High Yard Debris Collection Volumes; Collection Delayed Slightly

Thank you for your patience! The town’s yard debris collection program continues to grow in popularity, and the program is now a continuous daily operation for the town. Residential property owners in need of yard debris collection should contact town hall at 252-354-3424 to be placed on the weekly collection list.

Town Hall, 7500 Emerald Drive Emerald Isle, NC 28594 252-354-3424 • Fax 252-354-5068 Official Website: www.emeraldisle-nc.org Published Monthly by the town of Emerald Isle for its Residents, Property Owners & Visitors Composed by Frank Rush, Town Manager

With the comfortable spring weather, more people are currently generating yard debris and requesting collection, and the number of collection points and the volume of yard debris are unusually high. Town crews are working hard to collect the debris as quickly as possible, however, some property owners may experience as much as a two-week wait for collection. We apologize for the delay, and thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this unusually busy season.

The Best Spatula You’ll Ever Use! Dishwasher Safe Heat Resistant Use with Any Cookware

turtle tracks Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Program Ready for Turtles LIKE THE SWALLOWS returning to Capistrano in California and the buzzards to the cliffs at Hinckley, Ohio, the sea turtles will surely swim back to the beaches of the Crystal Coast. These are cold blooded creatures that wait for the warming of the coastal waters to bring their precious eggs on to the beach. Generally speaking, the sea turtles wait until the coastal waters reach about 70° F. In fact, the Emerald Volunteers found that the surf temperature in Emerald Isle had reached the 70° mark on May 8, just two days before this column went to press. Consequently, the Sea Turtle Program volunteers began patrolling the beaches every morning starting May 1 and are expecting to have the first nest reports by the time Island Review readers read these words.

The DNA studies begun in 2010 have revealed that most, if not all, of the female sea turtles laid their eggs on an every-other year basis.

Thus we are expecting that the mother turtles who were here in 2011 will be returning in 2013. This suggests that the 2013 season will be above average (about 16 over the past 10 years), but not record setting. Of course, this presumes that there has not been significant loss of mature female turtles in the past two years.

The Emerald Isle program coordinators do request that anyone seeing a sea turtle, day or night, should report that to the Emerald Isle Police at 252-354-2021. Anyone wanting to join as a volunteer should contact Pam Minnick at paminn@aol.com.

Update - New Soundside Pier at EI Public Boating Access Area

The planned construction of a new 1,000 foot long soundside pier at the Emerald Isle Public Boating Access Area has been delayed until fall 2013 due to permitting challenges.

gardenscape Kudzu Bug – A Nuisance and Agricultural Pest SOMETIMES IT IS best to get key information directly from the source – so here is Insect Note – ENT/rsc-#37 from NC State University on the Kudzu Bug, an insect each of you will see this summer, somewhere.

In 2009, the kudzu bug, Megacopta cribraria (F.), also known by many names including bean plataspid, lablab bug, and globular stink bug, was reported in nine counties in northeastern Georgia. The following year, the insect had been found in over 60 counties in Georgia and in Macon County, NC. Since then, surveys by NCSU Entomology Department and the NC Dept. of Agriculture and Consumer Services have confirmed the presence of the kudzu bug in kudzu patches, soybean fields and on other plants such as wisteria in over 89 North Carolina counties and in seven states. It is likely present in many other counties but simply has not yet been seen there.

Identification, Biology and Behavior Kudzu bugs are 4 to 6 mm long (about 1/6 to 1/4 inch), somewhat oblong in shape and olive-green colored with brown speckles (see picture at right). They are “true bugs” and so they have piercing-sucking mouthparts. Aside from kudzu, these insects are known to feed on a wide variety of legumes (soybeans and other bean species) as well as wisteria and some vetches. Kudzu bugs have several

generations per year.

In the spring, they feed extensively in kudzu patches and on other legume hosts. In JulyAugust, they will move into soybeans where they feed on stems and foliage and can have a significant impact on crop yields.

The bugs continue to feed and lay eggs into the fall on kudzu, late-planted soybeans and other hosts.

As temperatures and day lengths decline, kudzu bugs seek out sheltered areas where they can pass the winter, such as under bark or rocks, or in leaf litter, etc. They are most common along the edges of kudzu patches and soybean fields and near residential areas, we can expect to see them invade homes similar to the behavior of another nuisance pest – the Asian lady beetle. The bugs will often congregate on light-colored surfaces (such as siding, fascia boards, etc.) as seen in the picture below. They will then move under siding, into gaps around doors and windows or through penetrations such as around air conditioning and water pipes. In the following spring, the bugs become active (cont. on page 42)

again and begin moving onto kudzu and other host plants, particularly wisteria. As a result, those bugs that have overwintered inside homes may end up inside the home instead of heading to food sources. They may also land on siding and will deposit their eggs on non-plant surfaces such as brick, vinyl, and other siding materials.

Kudzu Bug Control Kudzu bugs pose a problem for residences in both the spring and fall. In late September and into October, homes near soybean fields or patches of kudzu are more likely to be invaded by the kudzu bug in the fall. Similarly, the following spring will bring activity as the bugs respond to warming temperatures and look for food sources such as wisteria and kudzu. Although most common household insecticides will kill the bugs on direct contact, control of the kudzu bug by treating the exterior of homes is likely to produce poor-mediocre results for several reasons. First, most people do not have the proper equipment to apply an insecticide to areas high up on their homes where the bugs may congregate. Second, because the insects are actively feeding even in the fall, their movement out of these plantings may take place over several weeks which means several applications (e.g., weekly) may be need to try to reduce their numbers. Common home-use products contain “pyrethroid” insecticides (look on the product label at the active ingredients and the chemical name

likely ends in “thrin”) such as permethrin, bifenthrin, or lamdacyhalothrin. Soluble powder (rather than liquid) formulations of insecticides may produce better results (although they will still not prevent the bugs from invading homes), but these products require mixing in a sprayer and many people prefer ready-touse products.

If you use a powder, remember to shake the sprayer periodically so the chemical doesn’t settle out. When using insecticides, always read and follow the directions for use on the product label. Some important safety tips: • Exercise extreme caution when spraying overhead because chemical will likely drop down on you and objects around you.

• Wear protective clothing and equipment (gloves, goggles, etc.) to keep insecticide off your skin, hair and eyes.

• Always spray downwind relative to where you’re standing.

• Be sure to remove or cover objects such as outdoor chairs, grills, swimming and decorative pools, and children’s toys.

Read the pesticide labels carefully because many of the common products no longer allow for broadcast exterior treatments (i.e., wide sprays over the entire exterior siding) where pesticides are more likely to be washed off by rain and may be potentially moved into storm drains. Be careful when spraying near ponds and other bodies of water and near hard surfaces (such as sidewalks or driveways) where the chemical is more likely to run into storm drains after heavy rainfall.

Pesticides have limited ability to stop the bugs from entering homes, so it is also important to seal gaps and openings (such as around plumbing and AC lines) to prevent the bugs from entering home. Avoid crushing Insects that do find their way indoors as this may stain surfaces and/or result in unpleasant odors. Vacuum up the insects and then place the vacuum bag (or contents) into a trash bag and freeze the bag for several days. You can also drop the bugs into soapy water to kill them. If you simply dump the live insects outdoors, they will likely end up back inside or surviving somewhere else around your property.

Removing kudzu patches in neighboring areas can be helpful but may be difficult unless you get cooperation from the property owner. Treating kudzu for the bugs is difficult without the proper equipment and care must be exercised to make sure the pesticides do not run off into sensitive areas such as wetlands, creeks, etc. The insects are fairly mobile (they crawl and fly) and so even eradicating (or attempting to eradicate) kudzu in or near your yard may not solve the problem.

IN NORTH CAROLINA, people tend to have mixed reactions to palm trees – they either love them or they hate them.

Some people say the idea of a palm tree is too tropical for North Carolina, but do you know on the coast, some palm trees are native? The climate on the North Carolina Coast is suitable for many different types of palms.

Another misconception is the maintenance of palm trees, which doesn’t have to be any more demanding than any other plant.

Actually, caring for palm trees is less demanding if you are aware of the fact that that they have different needs.

The landscape of the Crystal Coast islands without palm trees would be like a whole different place. In our area, palm trees look great anywhere from beachfront to English or Japanese gardens. No one type of palm tree will look good in all landscapes, but you are guaranteed to find at least one of the six common varieties to suit your needs.

The six most common types of palms are the needle palm, sabal palmetto, butia (pindo), Mediterranean fan, sabal minor and the windmill palm. The needle palm is rather small, about 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide. It prefers light shade and is very cold hardy. The sabal palmetto is the one most people think of when they imagine a palm tree. It is 10 to 30 feet tall and spans 10 feet from leaf tip to leaf tip.

These palms may grow taller, but usually only grow to their full height in the deep South. Grow the sabal palmetto in full sun or light shade. These palms are also cold hardy.

The butia palm is a feather leafed palm, which usually grows to less than 12 feet high and 12 feet wide in our area.

The butia, or pindo palm, is best planted in full sun and is hardy to 15° Fahrenheit. The Mediterranean fan palm is usually 6 feet when mature. This palm likes full sun and dry winters. The sabal minor is a small palm reaching a maximum height and width of less than five feet.. It enjoys most locations, even in the winter. Windmill palms are usually 15 to 20 feet tall and 8 feet leaf tip to leaf tip in their maturity. These plants have a hairy looking bark and are very cold hardy. Windmill palms tolerate full sun but prefer light shade.

When you plant your palm in the right location, with plenty of sun, shade protection of winter wind if needed and dry or moist soil, 80 percent of your palm’s lifetime maintenance will be complete. Palms need slightly acidic soil and specific nutrients that differ from other plants. The most common nutrient palms need in addition to nitrogen supplements are manganese, iron, potassium and magnesium. Because we are blessed with a warm and sunny climate, fertilization, in addition to these four nutrients may very well provide you with the most beautiful palm in North Carolina.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayor’s notes

Moving Toward More Family Recreation Options Mayor Trace Cooper AS I HAVE written here before, the comment I hear most often as mayor of Atlantic Beach is that we need more family entertainment in town. For the past several years, we’ve been working to address this problem and I’m excited to announce what we have on tap for this summer.

We will be continuing our popular seaside cinema movie nights on Wednesdays and, this year, we are encouraging children to participate by dressing up in the theme of the movie. For example, we are encouraging folks to dress as pirates for our showing of “Goonies” or wearing your own team colors for our showing of “Little Big League.”

On Saturday evenings, we will have a series of sunset concerts along the boardwalk. There will be a mix of bands playing music of all styles starting at 6pm each Saturday until Labor Day. And, of course, we are also having the largest fireworks show in the area on 4th of July.

While none of these events will replace Jungleland and the old waterslide, part of family entertainment is bringing families together. These days, modern family life is a blur of school, work, sports, dance classes, video games, Facebook and not enough family dinners. In times like these, I think spending an evening together with our families under the stars is a nice change.

But, we do need to replace Jungleland and the old waterslide, and we are on our way to doing it. A few years ago, we developed a master plan for a park on a portion of the property that the town owns at the site of the formal Coral Bay Shopping Center. In a beach town, a town park doesn’t need baseball diamonds and soccer fields. In a beach town, a town park needs putt-putt golf and water slides. We designed a park with these kinds of things as well as a skateboard park, walking trails, bocce ball and an amphitheater. We are currently building our first phase of the park with a greatly enlarged lawn for play and events as well as a splash pad. Park funding from the state has been hard to come by the past few years, but we are happy to be making a meaningful first step towards our park goals with the splash pad. To build the larger portions of the park, we are going to have to get creative with our fundraising.

In the coming months I will be reaching out to businesses in hopes of forming public-private partnerships. We’ll also be in search of other non-government financing.

Keep an eye on our park to see when the construction is wrapped up. For a listing of our movies, music and the other events we are bringing to town please visit our webpage at www.atlanticbeach-nc.com or our Facebook page at www. facebook.com/atlanticbeachnc. In the meantime, I look forward to seeing you out on the sand.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes

AS WE ROLL into the summer season we’re also rolling into the end of the town’s fiscal year – an end and a Mayor Ken Jones new beginning.

As this edition is published, your board of commissioners is preparing for the final vote on the 2013/2014 Pine Knoll Shores budget. They have worked diligently to make sure your town is as efficient as possible while taking care of the needs of the citizens and their property year round. I hope this article helps straighten out some misconceptions I have been hearing from many folks.

The infrastructure of our town still needs attention. Over the past couple of years we have replaced several water mains, large compound water meters and finished the Mimosa Bridge (by Memorial Day this year!). This coming year we will replace the water mains on Holly Street and start a multi-year project to modernize and maintain our water infrastructure through an Automated Meter Reading system. We have also connected our town with the sidewalks of Atlantic Beach – east meets west!

We have received a report from the consulting firm which we had look at the feasibility of merging our fire department with the Town of Indian Beach Fire Department. We will study this over the next year to see if we can make this happen. The first effects will be felt in the 2014/2015 budget. Over the next five years we are looking at saving about $1 million if we do merge. Our number one priority is the best service possible. That’s what you pay for and that’s what you should get. Our second priority is saving you money. Pine Knoll Shores is ahead of the efficiency curve.

We don’t have many general fund capital projects going on this year, but we are not short on actions. We will begin developing our first strategic plan. All municipalities in our county will work on this in the near future and the county will follow. Our police will be put through their first round of professional certification. We will be relooking at how we handle recycling – from what I have heard recycling day on the same day as trash day was a huge success. And we will continue to address today’s issues and plan for tomorrow.

Our team has as its’ cornerstone a staff that makes sure we manage our resources, your money, wisely. They are always looking for better and smarter ways of doing business. Our team has as its backbone many citizen volunteers. The team is rounded out with expertise from contractors to help us do more with less. Our team, your team, always has a primary concern in mind; Our Community.

Our town’s major fundraising event will celebrate its sixth year with the Kayak for the Warriors annual kayak race and bike rides on June 8th. You can and should plan your entire weekend around this event! Friday night, the day before the race, there will be a reception in Veteran’s Park at town hall. At the reception, for the first time, we will have a live auction. Whether you’re a participant, volunteer, or observer, you don’t want to miss this! Kids, adults, fun, or competition: Something for EVERYONE! Don’t forget the Independence Day Parade on July 4th – it starts at Garner Park and is always fun. See you there! Bring on summer!

We are an Energy Star Partner.

Call us so we can show you how to save up to 30% on your utility bills.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

club news PKS Garden Club

PKS Women’s Club

ON MAY 8, a bus trip to Raleigh to visit the J.C. Raulston Arboretum and Logan’s Trading Center was greatly enjoyed by club members and several other friends from town.

The Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall lobby displayed a lively scene of elegant dining on Wednesday, April 10. Garden club members formally set seven card tables dressing every table with plates, silverware and crystal, each using a special theme – birds, high tea, bunnies, spring, Thanksgiving, etc. Each table showed great creativity and a grand sense of overall beauty – a wonderful treat for the viewer. Albert Norwood of Albert’s Florist and Gifts, our local connoisseur, gave a thoughtful critique of each table.

Martha Edwards used fine Czechoslovakian china, regal sterling flatware, including two monogrammed old family silver napkin rings, and a delicate floral arrangement in a Waterford cut crystal vase. Lana Hathaway created a delightful Easter table utilizing her extensive collection of porcelain bunnies and colorful Easter eggs with a carrot and dyed hardboiled egg on each plate, set off with a bright spring floral arrangement. Donna Belanger set her table with a bright red tablecloth picking up the color of her red azalea and daisy centerpiece. Her dining plates with the beautiful bird design by Lennox also picked up the color, and the setting was completed with green thumbprint goblets.

President Karen Zaenker brought spring to us with her pink tulip floral arrangement, her fine Bavarian china by Krautheim, her cut crystal tumblers, formal candlesticks and magnificent Battenberg lace linen tablecloth. Ginny Stambaugh’s hot pink azalea bouquet with matching napkins, cut crystal water glasses, Royal Dalton’s Evsham china, and heavy Francis I sterling flatware by Reed & Barton made Norwood think of an elegant formal New York City’s apartment at dinner hour.

Jan Corsello made everyone welcome at her English high tea, using her lovely bone china teapot, dessert plates and sugar and creamer in the lavender pattern

by Royal Albert, and her Holmes & Edward sterling flatware, including a silver tea strainer, her high and low floral arrangements and even jam and cookies. Lois Jean O’Keefe and Jean McDanal created an elegant Thanksgiving dining table using fine Bavarian china in the Winterling pattern, sterling silver in the Fontana pattern by Towle, exquisite cut crystal water goblets by Waterford, lovely linen napkins and a stunning fall flower arrangement.

At the business meeting preceding the judging of the tablescapes in the lobby, Zaenker announced the election of new officers for 2013-14 and reminded members that the garden club installation luncheon date is June 12 at the Coral Bay Club.

Guest and visitors are always welcome at our regular meetings held at town hall on the second Wednesday of each month at 9:30am for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day.

Carteret Chamber of Commerce President Mike Wagoner wants us all to adopt an “attitude.” That attitude should be to “Shop Carteret First.” In a recent presentation to the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club, Wagoner urged us to stop before making any purchases and look first to doing business with local companies and merchants. These dollars get circulated in the community, he said, and we’re all better off because of it.

Small Business Week, May 19-24, was celebrated in Carteret County and around the country- the 50th year the nation has officially recognized the importance of small businesses to our economic health. The US Small Business Administration defines a “small business” as one that employees fewer than 500 employees. By that definition almost all businesses in Carteret County, with the exception of Carteret General Hospital and the Carteret County Public School System, are small businesses. In North Carolina, 87 percent of all businesses have less than 100 employees and 59 percent employ between 0-4 employees. Between 60-80 percent of all new jobs created in the United States are attributed to small businesses.

The role of every chamber of commerce “worth its salt,” Wagoner said “is to help small businesses succeed, flourish and prosper. That’s the very measure of our relevance.” As residents and consumers we can do our part by purchasing locally whenever possible. Wagoner pointed out that people prefer to do business with people they know and trust. He encouraged us to develop a relationship with local businesses and help insure that Carteret County remains economically strong. Next time you make a purchase for goods or services, do yourself and your community a favor and shop locally – a healthy economy in Carteret County enriches us all.

As the Women’s Club’s program year winds down, club members have a busy few months ahead of them before the club’s summer hiatus. In May, the club assisted the Mile of Hope event by serving lunch on the beach to children and their families who participated in this fun weekend for children with life-threatening illnesses. Club members enjoyed the informative program “Seashells to Sharks’ Teeth” presented by Jan Corsello and Sheryl Woodbury on May 17. Elections for new officers were also held at the May meeting. On June 7 members gather at the Coral Bay Club with the annual Installation Luncheon when new officers will be installed and outgoing officers and committee chairs will be honored for their dedication to club goals. Club members are also individually involved in preparations for the Pine Knoll Shores Kayak for the Warriors Weekend, June 7-8. The club has donated a beautiful “relaxation” basket for the auction to be held on June 7.

Club meetings will resume in September with a full program of interesting speakers and community events.

Summertime Beat

Alive at Five

Free Music Provides Summer’s Playlist

There’s something almost magical about sitting next to the water, a breeze rippling your hair and the sounds of music wafting along on the breeze. And for those of us lucky enough to spend time along the Crystal Coast, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that each spring and summer.

Downtown Morehead City Revitalization’s Alive at Five program holds concerts twice a month and begin at the perfect time for a little rest and relaxation – the end of the work week.

The concerts are held at Katherine Davis Park in downtown Morehead City and begin at 5pm. Emily Minor kicks off the series and additional bands include The Steady Eddies, Soul Psychodelique, the Band of Oz and others. For more information, call 252-808-0440 or visit www.downtownmoreheadcity.com.

Over at Jaycee Park on the Morehead City waterfront, the Morehead City Parks and Recreation Department holds weekly concerts May through August with a bonus performance on July 4. Concerts run from 7-8:30pm. To learn more, call 252-726-5083.

Amidst a beautiful historic backdrop, the Friends of Fort Macon hold an annual summer concert series.

252-342-2334 ISLAND REVIEW • June 2013 61

Greg Hall, owner of Ace Builders, built our fourth home. My wife and I live in Pennsylvania, for now, and we built our first home in 1982. We have since remodeled an old farm house, a total disaster thanks to that contractor, but we built two more homes in Pennsylvania since then with the last one being built in 2005. We have also renovated two smaller office buildings, each with 20 to 30 occupants and each being a combination of commercial and residential rental spaces. We have had several good experiences with contractors. Greg Hall is definitely the best general contractor we have ever worked with. For this latest home on Emerald Isle, we requested proposals from 3 different contractors. All 3 prices seemed to be competitive but the first obvious difference was the quality of materials Greg had in his proposal. The most significant of these was that Greg had included impact rated windows. The other two had suggested cutting and drilling for plywood installation in the event of a hurricane. For people living 10 hours away building a second home this way was not an acceptable option. The cost difference for this one item alone was several thousand dollars, therefore the prices were not as competitive as they first appeared. We had told Greg that we were not wealthy people but were willing to spend a little more on things that mattered. A vague instruction at best but Greg really grasped what we were trying to accomplish and his choice of materials and suggestions on construction were extremely helpful.

What we discovered a month ago when we were finally able to see the finished product is that his craftsmanship is exceptional. The house has a quality look and feel about it that we were not expecting, and we had learned working with Greg to expect a lot. In addition to the quality of his work, what made this a thoroughly enjoyable experience is that Greg is extremely well organized and maintains great communication with the client. His subs were excellent. His professional advice was often needed and always very helpful.

If I had to come up with one complaint, I would definitely need more time to think. It was just an unusually good experience, particularly given the normal stresses that are always part of building any home. Finally, Greg and his wife Aimee are extremely nice people. This is not the first reason to hire a contractor but if you are spending 8 months working long distance on a project this important it is no minor consideration either. If I ever build another home, I know who I will hire. It was honestly that good. My wife agrees completely.

We could not thank Greg enough.
