The Beaufort Wine and Food’s Chef Competition featured three rounds in September. Competitors included Kevin Davis of the Channel Marker, Jason Scott of Island Grille, Jon McGregor of Clawsons, Clarke Merrell of Circa 81, Kenny Collins of the Boathouse at Front Street Village and more. Twelve of the region’s top chefs have competed and the three winners from each round come together to compete in the final. Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased online at beaufortwineandfood.com or by calling 252-515-0708.

Emerald Isle Triathlon Draws Athletes Those folks in Emerald Isle are always looking for a chance to challenge the community and keep everyone fit – and October is certainly no different. The town’s annual triathlon brings out some of the region’s best athletes to compete for bragging rights.

The race is based at the Eastern Regional Ocean Access. Awards are presented to the top three male and female finishers in 12 age groups. Age 16 and up are welcome to participate.

Crystal Coast Con Returns The science fiction and gaming community is gearing up for the fourth Crystal Coast Con. The convention will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18 at Mac Daddy’s in Cape Carteret. The one-day event is packed with door prizes, costume contests, sci-fi vendors and giveaways. Celebrity guests for this year’s convention include Ernie Hudson of “Ghostbusters,” Casper Van Diem from “Starship Troopers,” Bill Blair, who holds a world record for special effects makeup and Dango Nguyen from “Walking Dead,” among others. The event runs from 10am-6pm and tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. Check out www. crystalcoastcon.com for a complete schedule of events.

Lobster Fest at St. Francis The annual Lobster Fest will take place at St. Francis by the Sea Episcopal Church in Indian Beach, 920 Salter Path Road, from noon to 4pm on Saturday, Oct. 18. As in past years, it will be a great excuse for a dinner party with family and friends either at home or at the church. Live lobsters are hand selected and delivered to the church directly from Maine. Onsite cooks prepare them to go and for meals served at the church. A complete lobster dinner, including potato salad, coleslaw and homemade dessert, is $25. Add a cooked lobster to an eat-in dinner or take cooked lobsters home for $19 each. If you are feeling more adventurous, you can purchase live lobsters for $16 each and cook them at home. Lobsters are at least 1 ½ lbs. each. Advance tickets can be purchased through Oct. 11, by calling 252-240-2388 (church office). 10

ISLAND REVIEW • October 2014

Rotary King Mack, Oct. 17-18 Fall along the Crystal Coast is a busy time for anglers … and the active members of the Swansboro Rotary Club, which holds its king mackerel tournament Oct. 17-18. Boasting a “bigger purse and less competition,” the popular annual tournament has a guaranteed $30,000 first place award and a 50 boat cap. The first level entry fee is $1,200. Additional awards include a two-day aggregate award, heaviest king mackerel per day and high roller heaviest king. “We’re extremely excited about this year’s tournament,” said Brandon Sewell, a spokesman for the tournament. “It’s going to be bigger and better than ever. We’ve made a few changes, moved our weigh-ins and we’re looking forward to a great event.” A captain’s welcome party and meeting is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 15, at the Swansboro Rotary Civic Center in Cedar Point and the awards party will be held on Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Saltwater Grill in downtown Swansboro. Friday and Saturday are fishing days with daily weigh-ins at the Saltwater Grill. A free concert by Jim Quick and the Coastline Band is planned for Saturday and the Rotary is hopeful that the community will come out and enjoy themselves as well as the competitors. “We moved our weigh-ins to downtown Swansboro in hopes that this can really become a community affair,” said Sewell. “We will have vendors and exhibitors on Friday night and Saturday and we’d love to get a crowd down there Saturday for the concert. Following the motto of “Service Above Self,” the Swansboro Rotary has partnered with a variety of regional nonprofit agencies through the years. Donations earned through the organization’s two tournament per year have helped support Habitat for Humanity, Take a Kid Fishing, Take a Kid Shopping, the Rotary home at Lake Wacamaw and regional scholarships for students from Croatan and Swansboro high schools. To date, scholarships alone have totaled more than $800,000, said Sewell. “We’ve really put our blood, sweat and tears into the tournament through the years, but it’s all worth it when you see how it gives back to the community on the other side,” he added.

BHA Fall Party Planned The annual Fall Party has become quite the tradition as the Beaufort Historical Association brings together artwork by a selected featured artist, food and festive music while elegant Beaufort homes create a tranquil setting. This year, guests will be greeted by views of Taylor’s Creek and Cape Lookout at the homes of Bob & Donna Ivey and Bill & Dale Pully while being whisked away by the lively work of featured artist, Jim Carson. Beginning at 6:30pm on Saturday, Oct. 18, the Ivey and Pully homes at 2666 Lennoxville Road will serve as the backdrop while guests are treated to gourmet food provided by Beaufort Grocery Co. along with live, light jazz by Mike Minguez and Lou Pedro. To create a unique and inviting atmosphere for the Fall Party, Jim Carson was an obvious choice for this year’s featured artist. The natural views from the Ivey and Pully homes set the ideal scene for the display of this plein air artist’s work, which has been described as “fresh and painterly.”

ISLAND REVIEW • October 2014

book bag

Think Like a Freak By Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner LEVITT AND DUBNER, the authors of the well-received earlier book “Freakonomics” have now broadened their scope of creative thinking in their latest work, “Think Like a Freak.” This time they take us inside their thought process to teach us how to analyze our ways of thinking in order to be more productive in our lives. The goal is to help people find a new way of solving problems. This fascinating attempt to reorder our approach to life does not offer any magic formulas or clever tricks. It does present a way of thinking that uses common sense and rational problem solving to enhance our grasp on many areas of our lives. They encourage us to say, “I don’t know” instead of try and bluff our way through life. The willingness to admit we don’t have all the answers is a critical starting point in thinking like a freak. Readers encounter a young Japanese man who entered the Coney Island hotdog eating contest with a novel approach and doubled the record from 25 to over 50 eaten

in 12 minutes through a well-thought-out method. The authors explore the strategy for soccer penalty kicks and ask why the obvious is not always the best style. They ask questions like: “Are married people happy or do happy people marry?” and “Does more expensive wine taste better?” The subjects dealt with in this book are all over the place. They investigate how we can redefine problems that are difficult to solve and how some complications have been deciphered with unconventional logic. One example is how the treatment for ulcers was revolutionized which challenged the existing use of drugs. The authors explain why kids are harder to fool than adults with magic tricks and why college applications are much longer than job applications. This is a fun read with all kinds of intriguing situations of common interest to us all. The exploration into how incentives work is eye-opening. They ask if cash for better grades is a wise motivator and why negative warning signs do not always work as in the case of stolen petrified wood from national parks. Levitt and Dubner explain why some incentives backfire and why treating people with decency is still a wise approach to developing good relationships. One section covers how a one-time charitable donation drive raised more money than repeated calls to give. This is a book for people who like to think and who like innovation. It will make you reappraise your own past decisions and encourage you to look at future choices with a whole new set of eyes. Curt Finch Emerald Isle Books

Tourism Spending in North Carolina Reaches New Record IT IS THE day after Labor Day and all over Carteret County you can feel that happy little sigh that the frantic, busy summer of 2014 is over for those of us who make our living in the hospitality sector. This summer we feel will be record breaking in many regards as we experienced several weeks of 100 percent occupancy in the homes we manage. Occupancy tax collections through July were up 6 percent, year over year, for Carteret County. We in the vacation rental industry have housed thousands of rental guests and cleaned up after them! Meanwhile, our restaurants on the Crystal Coast have fed them, our museums, shops, nightlife, attractions and fishing piers have entertained them, and now we move gratefully into the quiet, balmy days of early fall. Earlier in August we heard this outstanding economic news from the NC Dept. of Commerce’s Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development: “North Carolina continues to show that it is one of the most sought-after vacation spots in the country,” Gov. Pat McCrory said. “These statistics are no surprise; tourism stimulates our economy and encourages visitors to consider moving to our great state. The 2013 tourism dollars prove our cultural resources are just as big of a draw as our natural ones.” Domestic visitors spent a record $20 billion in 2013, an increase of 4 percent from the previous year. State tax receipts, as a result of visitor spending, topped $1 billion in

2013, and local tax revenues directly resulting from visitor spending totaled more than $601 million. Visitor expenditures directly supported 198,270 jobs and generated more than $4.6 billion in payroll income across North Carolina. “Tourism is a key element of our economic development strategy for North Carolina,” Commerce Secretary Sharon Decker said. “It means jobs – nearly 200,000 of them across the state – for our residents. I am so pleased that every corner of North Carolina benefited from tourism. Nearly 53 million people experienced our state’s incredible beauty, from our famous mountains to our incredible coast and our vibrant cities and fascinating towns in between.” Carteret County was one of the leading counties in the state for tourism: • The largest percent increases in visitor spending were seen in Buncombe (8 percent), Burke (7.6 percent) and Carteret (7.4 percent). • Counties with the largest increases in direct tourism employment were Burke (5.8 percent), Buncombe (5.0 percent) and Carteret (4.5 percent). Tourism is thriving on the Crystal Coast as our visitor statistics bear out. Our challenge is to keep these folks coming back year after year, while ensuring that we can continue to offer them natural, pristine beauty, lovely vacation homes and hotel rooms, delicious meals, world class water sports and fishing and ways for them to be awed and moved by our maritime heritage. We live, work and play in paradise and we are making new friends for life with every visitor to our shores. Julia Batten Wax Broker/Owner, Emerald Isle Realty jwax@EIRealty.com

county perspective

County Commissioners Send Governor Friendly ‘To Do’ List of Priorities ON A RECENT visit to Morehead City, North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory asked for a list of items important to Carteret County that we could use his help with … and the Carteret County Board obliged, sending him seven items for the governor’s “To Do” list. These priorities “are very important to the continued economic viability of our county and its citizens,” said Jonathan Robinson, chair of the Carteret County Board of Commissioners. The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce sent Gov. McCrory a note as well, assuring him that the business community is solidly aligned in support of the issues specified by the county officials. The priorities are: “Critical habitat” designation, harbor dredging, beach nourishment, military concerns, sea level rise, insurance and commercial fishing.” The county would like the governor’s help to lift the loggerhead sea turtle “critical habitat” designation for all of Bogue Banks. This is a federal matter, but the commissioners believe the state can and should pursue legal action against the federal government to have the ruling reversed. The ruling gives the federal government the right to impose sanctions on the use of the beach by humans that could be absolutely crippling to the county’s tourism-based economy. Related to dredging of the Morehead City Harbor, the county wants the state’s help to ensure that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, which routinely dredges this deep navigation channel, be prohibited from dumping the sand well offshore where it provides little, if any, benefit. (Known as the “least-cost disposal” federal standard.) Instead, all beach compatible sand needs to be placed on Bogue

Banks beaches in a manner that minimizes channel impacts and replicates the natural littoral system. Furthermore, the state needs to support local governments by providing financial assistance for shallow inlet dredging to allow them to maintain navigable waterways, which has a great impact on the local, state and federal economy. Unfortunately, federal funding has been waning, forcing local governments and the state to pick up the cost. Local governments need more state funds, and the commissioners are asking the governor to propose additional funding in next year’s state budget. Sea level rise remains a concern for Carteret County and all of coastal North Carolina. Any projections about sea level rise – how much and how fast – must be based on “real science.” In the meantime, state agencies should refrain from using any estimated sea level rise figure that is not scientifically sound. The governor is also being asked to review the process used in evaluating and granting homeowners insurance rate increases in North Carolina. Rates need to be established using substantiated data and models. Insurance companies are requesting a rate increase approaching 35 percent in Carteret County, and it is being consider by the insurance commissioner who has a sole power to set rates. County Commissioners maintain these proposed rates appear to be based on unsubstantiated data/models … and defy a logical pattern of existing data. The proposed rates for the coastal areas of the state are significantly higher than other areas of this state, because it appears that the companies are using the threat of a catastrophic hurricane, while data indicates that more significant losses over time have occurred inland.

Tourism Dollars Are Good for Education WE KEEP TRYING to connect the dots for politicians and bureaucrats in Raleigh so they will get the picture about the relationship between tourism and education. Consider this: North Carolina tourism officials are boasting that 2013 was a very good year. Tourism expenditures were up 4.2 percent statewide, and Carteret County had the third largest growth rate of all 100 counties – 7.6 percent. The state has calculated that in 2013, state tax receipts from tourism expenditures were more than a billion dollars – $1,013,280,000. This is a gain of 4.4 percent from 2012. Additionally, combined local tax receipts from tourism in 2013 were $601,220,000 – up 3.8 percent over 2012. Educators who understand the math should be smiling. Tourism-generated tax revenues help pay for public education in North Carolina … and help pay their salaries. So, it makes absolutely no sense to try to start school earlier in the summer and compress the summer vacation period. That is counter-productive and eats into the summer tourism season. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to maintain the existing school calendar and the uniform school start date. State law mandates that the opening day for public school students is the Monday closest to Aug. 26. We would prefer North Carolina schools not open before Labor Day … but we have adjusted to shaving off a week or so in late August. What is troubling is that state legislators seem to be wobbling on this issue, and they are being pressured to

dismantle the School Calendar Law, caving in to school administrators who want the flexibility to open schools on whatever date suits them. Do they think the money grows on trees? The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce applauds the Carteret County Board of Commissioners for approving a resolution to recommend that the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners “put forth a legislative goal to retain the current legislation for a uniform start date.” The chamber is firmly opposed to any changes to the School Calendar Law that would move the start date any earlier in August. The chamber also firmly opposes granting local school districts unnecessary waivers that can undermine the uniform school start date. We need second home owners and every summer vacationer who has stayed at the Crystal Coast and intends to return some day to get on this bandwagon. We need readers of the Island Review to speak up and speak out to reinforce the message. Once again, it’s time to “Save Our Summers.” Let your elected representatives know that the value of quality family time associated with summer vacations is absolutely priceless. If we keep the School Calendar Law as it is … the tourism dollars will continue to flow and grow, as will the taxes generated … and that is good for education. Mike Wagoner, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

mayor’s notes

Saying ‘Good Bye’ to Nita Hedreen I WOULD LIKE to begin my article by commenting on the death of our Town Commissioner Nita Hedreen who passed away on Monday, Aug. 18 following a long and courageous battle with cancer. Nita was first a dear friend and someone I had come to know, love and appreciate. She was a loving wife, a wonderful mother and a caring and doting grandmother. The Town of Emerald Isle has lost a dedicated public servant. Our entire community has lost a loving and caring person. I would like to share with you the remarks about Nita that I spoke at her memorial service at Chapel by the Sea on Thursday, Aug. 21: To Bruce, Susan and Ryan and other family members we ask that God’s presence be with you this day and we thank God for Nita and ask our Heavenly Father to wrap his healing arms around you this day. For the past 15 years it has been my pleasure to come to know and love Nita and Bruce, a remarkable and loving couple. I had the privilege of working with Nita for the past 14 years on different committees and it gave me a glimpse of her love and commitment to Emerald Isle. But more importantly, it afforded me the opportunity to see her love of God and her commitment to others. The past 14 months were difficult for Nita and Bruce, but in these months their

value of faith in God and the love and commitment of family. Nita and Bruce’s faith grew stronger and her attitude was so very positive. I know the night I won the elections very boldly she said to me —“I am looking forward to working with you for the next four years.” (Cont. on page 26)

~Emerald Tidings~ Town Mourns Passing of Commissioner Nita Hedreen

EMERALD ISLE TOWN Commissioner Nita Hedreen passed away on Monday, Aug. 18, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was 61 years old. All of us at the Town of Emerald Isle are saddened by her passing, and were inspired by her courageous battle. Commissioner Hedreen truly loved the Town of Emerald Isle, and was first elected as a town commissioner in 2003, serving her community for more than 10 ½ years. Her thoughtful insights, caring nature, and wisdom will be sorely missed by our community and the entire town organization. Nita’s obituary may be viewed and online condolences may be submitted at www. mundenfuneralhome.net/obits/obituary.php?id=491510.

EI Continues to Enjoy Low Property Tax Rate

Emerald Isle property taxpayers continue to enjoy the second lowest General Fund property tax rate among the 21 oceanfront towns in North Carolina. The mayor, board of commissioners and town staff all work hard to provide the highest quality town services at the lowest possible cost to our customers!

County Schedules Referendum on New 1/4% Sales Tax

The Carteret County Board of Commissioners has scheduled a referendum for Nov. 4 on whether or not the local sales tax should be increased by 1/4 percent to fund future navigation dredging projects in Carteret County. If approved by the voters, the total state and local sales tax paid on certain purchases would increase from 6.75 to 7 percent. The additional sales tax is expected to generate approximately $2.5 million annually for Carteret County. Bogue Inlet is among the local waterways expected to be eligible for dredging funds from this revenue source if approved by the voters. More information will be made available in the coming weeks, and posted on the town’s website at www.emeraldisle-nc.org. Carteret County officials can be contacted at 252-728-8450 or by visiting www.carteretcountync.gov.

New Welcome Center Construction

The town expects to begin construction of a new Welcome Center at Merchants Park in Emerald Isle later this fall or winter, with a goal to open to visitors by Memorial Day weekend 2015. The new Welcome Center will be constructed by the Town and leased to the Carteret County Tourism Development Authority, who will operate the new facility. The new building is expected to have a similar appearance as the town administration building, and will be conveniently located adjacent to the town’s bicycle path on Hwy 58 in the main commercial area of town.

Jim Normile Appointed as New Town Commissioner

With the recent passing of Commissioner Nita Hedreen, the board of commissioners appointed Jim Normile to fill her unexpired term on Aug. 27. Commissioner Normile previously served on the town’s board of adjustment (2008-2012) and planning board (2012-2014), and he and his wife Elaine have been permanent residents of Emerald Isle for the past 14 years. Commissioner Normile is semi-retired, and operates the Emerald Isle Bed & Breakfast on 5th Street.

mayor’s notes (Cont. from page 22)

When Nita talked about her work on base and her work with our military her face would light up. I know today without a doubt she is in Heaven sharing her love her grace and her compassion with others. We gather here today to mourn, our hearts our heavy, but we gather here also to celebrate her love her grace here commitment to others. Nita taught us how to live and she also taught us how to face death with dignity, courage, optimism and GRACE. We remember the words of Jesus when he said: Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe in me also. In my fathers house there are many dwelling places. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not let them be afraid. I am certain Christ said on Monday to Nita: WELCOME HOME NITA! Well done my good and faithful servant.

the Emerald Isle Planning Board and more recently on the Economic Development Committee. Jim has a keen and brilliant mind, and always comes to the meetings prepared and ready to enter into dialogue. I know Jim will make an excellent Commissioner. In closing, I wish that all of our citizens, part time residents and visitors enjoy October in Emerald isle. October brings cooler nights, beautiful, less humid days, great fishing, swimming and shelling. Take time to enjoy October on our wonderful Island.

It was wonderful to hear all the glowing and heartfelt testimonies about Nita at her memorial service. I left the service knowing that Nita touched so many people and she gave her life in service to others. What a wonderful testimony for such a wonderful and loving person. Nita’s shoes will never be filled and her legacy will live on. On Wednesday, August 27, the Commissioners unanimously appointed Jim Normile to fill her seat. I had the pleasure to serve with Jim for two and a half years on

By Greg (Rudi) Rudolph, Shore Protection Mgr.

State of the Beach IN LATE AUGUST, the engineering firm of Moffatt & Nichol provided the Carteret County Beach Commission a presentation highlighting the most significant results of a comprehensive beach survey conducted in May and June encompassing Bogue Banks and the islands located east and west of Bogue Banks as well – Shackleford Banks and Bear Island, respectively. If we compare the May/June 2014 survey to that of the year prior (April/June/July 2013); we are capturing all of the events that transpired during this roughly yearlong time period. We depend heavily on a “credit – debit” volumetric approach with respect to our beach management philosophy and during the aforementioned survey period, Bogue Banks experienced a large “credit” compliments of maintenance dredging with concurrent beach nourishment associated with the Morehead City Harbor Federal Navigation Project that placed 1,107,585 cubic yards (cy) of sand along 1.8 miles of beach in Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach. Conversely, the island did not experience any particularly notable sources of “debit” in the form of tropical cyclones (hurricanes/tropical storms), albeit the winter storm season was relatively strong (seven events when offshore waves exceeded 12 feet). Background In 1999, 111 shore-perpendicular profiles were established along Bogue Banks to gain baseline information and begin assessing the overall health of the beach in the wake of the hurricanes that impacted 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 profiles on a routine basis since 1999 and these measurements have been utilized to monitor two important beach parameters – (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 profiles along Bogue Banks (Fig. 1), in addition to 24 profiles 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. As implied

Figure 1 – Site map depicting the location and identification scheme of the 122 profiles positioned along Bogue Banks utilized for beach/nearshore monitoring purposes.

above, the monitoring program has continued to serve several very important functions, including; (A) Establish a monitoring network to determine volume deficiencies during formulation of the Bogue Banks Restoration Project (early 2000s) and future nourishment efforts, (B) Help assess the volume of sand lost during Hurricanes Floyd (1999), Isabel (2003), Ophelia (2005) and Irene (2011); and where applicable, obtain FEMA reimbursement to replace the sand lost during many of these disasters, (C) Serve as spatial control during beach construction events, (D) Assess the fate of various beach fills constructed along Bogue Banks since 2001, (E) Provide a method to determine the overall condition (health) and changing geomorphology of Bogue Banks and adjacent islands, and (F) Serve as the primary database foundation in formulating the Bogue Banks Master Plan. Beach Volume One of the means to quantify beach health is to compare the volume of sand lost or gained over time along Bogue Banks and the adjacent islands. Engineers and scientists most often use the measuring unit of a cubic yard (cy) to describe volume change, which can be envisioned as a 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet block of sand, or 27 ft3. A standard dump truck holds roughly 15 cubic yards of dry sand as a convenient mental image. The “volumetric approach” has been a primary tenet of our beach monitoring program, and the eight oceanfront reaches along Bogue Banks gained +1,178,856 cy of sand in 201314, which extends and includes all of Emerald Isle running eastward through Fort Macon and equates to an average gain of +9.8 cy per linear feet (cy/ft). As one might expect, the gains reported are correlative to the sand that was placed along Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach in April and May of this year. Interestingly however, the gain reported along the entire oceanfront is +71,271 cy in excess of the +1,107,585 cy of nourishment placed on the beach during the reporting (Cont. on page 42)

tourism BAROMETER Plan a Fall Golf Getaway at the Crystal Coast THE CAROLINAS ARE known worldwide for their top-tier golf courses. And right here on the beautiful Crystal Coast, many golf enthusiasts realize that this is a great place to play yearround. Many prefer the fall season, when the courses are in top condition, weather is perfect, crowds have thinned and there are off-season deals on greens fees and rooms. Many golfers plan week or weekend long golf getaways, as it’s a perfect opportunity to unwind and bond with friends. The beauty of our area is that once they’ve exhausted some energy on the greens, they can head to the beach to relax, hop on a boat, go fishing, check out the local restaurants or bars downtown or sample some other things to do in the area. With signature

events happening during the fall, such as the NC Seafood Festival (first weekend in October) or major fishing tournaments like the Atlantic Beach Saltwater Classic, it’s enticing for some folks to plan a golf vacation around these special event weekends, especially if family and friends are in tow. The Crystal Coast offers several scenic public and semiprivate golf courses including The Country Club of the Crystal Coast (152 Oakleaf Drive, Pine Knoll Shores – 252-726-1034), Brandywine Bay (224 Brandywine Blvd., Morehead City – 252-247-2541), North River Club (300 Links Drive, Beaufort – 252-728-5525), Silver Creek Golf Club (601 Pelletier Loop Road, Swansboro – 252-393-8058), Star Hill Golf Club (202 Clubhouse Drive, Cape Carteret – 252-393-8111) & The Golf Farm (612 Tom Mann Road, Newport – 252-223-3276). Complete descriptions of local golf facilities and courses can be found on the Crystal Coast Tourism Authority website, www.crystalcoastnc.org/things-to-do/on-land/golf/#content. Most Golf Clubs offer daily, weekly, monthly and/or seasonal specials and “stay and play” golf packages. Group rates are also available. Contact them today to find out how you can host your next golf outing, whether it’s a charity or corporate event, or simply a group of friends getting together “fore” fun! Elizabeth Barrow Director of Local Public Relations Crystal Coast Tourism Authority

the DIVOT Fall is in the Air THE FALL IS the best time to play golf in our area. The weather is still fantastic, the golf courses are in great condition and are a lot less crowded. Golf Tip of the Month – Bunker Shots Last month we talked about getting professionally fitted when buying new golf clubs. This month it’s bunker shots. The ability to hit the ball out of a bunker is a very important part of the short game and for improving your scoring ability. For a green side bunker shot place the ball in the middle of your stance and open the face of the club. On the backswing, take the club away from your body. Hit the sand first, just behind the golf ball and be sure to follow through. You’ll control the distance with your backswing. The shorter the shot, the shorter backswing, but always follow through. On a fairway bunker shot place the ball in the center of your stance, choke down about an inch when gripping the club and swing like you would on a full swing. Do not hit the sand. Hit the ball first with little or no sand when hitting fairway bunker shots. To learn more please sign-up for a free Bunker Shot Clinic which will be held on Thursday, Oct. 16 starting at 3pm. Call 252-726-1034 (ext. 10) to sign-up. 34

period. A more detailed review of the data reveals there is less sand residing in Fort Macon and Atlantic Beach immediately after nourishment (1,010,055 cy) than the volume placed in these two reaches (1,107,585 cy) if compared to the summer 2013 volume. This indicates there was roughly -97,530 cy of erosion before nourishment, yet across the island this loss was compensated and then some (+168,801 cy). We are postulating these acrossthe-island gains are the result of sand moving up the beach profile from just below our benchmark. Although the surveys go well offshore (-30 ft.), we cut off our comparative analyses at the -12 ft. benchmark (NAVD 88). So again, we believe the gains are the result of sand moving from let’s say -14 ft. as an example to -11 ft. Also continuing on the concept of “cubic yards per linear Figure 2 – Average profile volumes for September 1999, July 2008, foot” (cy/ft), the volume of sand July 2009, June 2010, June 2011, April 2012, July 2013 and June 2014 residing along the entire island for seven oceanfront reaches along Bogue Banks. A target volume threshold of 225 cubic yards per linear foot (cy/ft) was established in is significantly higher than 15 1999 as a benchmark for beach health. years ago, and the entire island also meets our target minimum volumetric threshold established for Bogue Banks. The target minimum volumetric threshold is simply an average volume of sand per linear foot that is considered as a management benchmark – beaches with more sand than the target volume is advantageous. Beaches with less sand residing in any of the management reaches is obviously a cause for concern (225 cy/ft is the benchmark). The target volume was modeled after Atlantic Beach that has been a traditional recipient of beach nourishment associated with the dredging of the Morehead City Harbor well before Floyd (1999). Quite simply, immediately after Floyd we noticed Atlantic Beach was relatively unscathed while the remaining island communities sustained significant dune erosion and property damage. As the red bar (1999) in Fig. 2 demonstrates, the average volume of sand in Atlantic Beach was significantly higher than the adjacent beaches and was consequently selected as a beach health benchmark.

Shoreline Change Another and more common/familiar measurement of beach health is shoreline change. To quantify and consistently compare shoreline positions over time, the “shoreline” is R e a ch

determined as the mean high water elevation established at +1.1 feet above sea level. This measurement parameter is sometimes referred to as a “datum-derived shoreline” as we can numerically determine where along a profile the +1.1 feet elevation resides rather than depending upon more subjective determinations that are required by other methods, such as aerial photography. Utilizing a datum-derived shoreline, the average net shoreline change from summer 2013 to spring 2014 for Bogue Banks was +8 feet seaward with large, nourishmentdriven shoreline advances reported in Atlantic Beach (+41 feet) and Fort Macon (+127 feet) – Fig. 3. Shoreline positions have reacted to an influx of nourishment sand or efflux of sand related to storms/background erosion over the past several years and movement of that sand in the alongshore and shore-perpendicular directions. Sand may be moving east or west along the beachfront or in some places, could be migrating in the offshore direction or conversely even welding itself to the visible dry beach. Again, the 2014 numbers most certainly reflect the influx of sand attributed to dredging/ nourishment activities associated with the Morehead City Harbor. This is obviously a brief review of the monitoring report, but don’t hesitate to visit www.protectthebeach. com/minutes/2014/August %202014%20Monitoring% 20Presentation.pdf if you would like more information.

Before retiring in 2003, Carson always had an interest in art. He began drawing at a young age, but later had to put this hobby on hold for law school, family, and building his law practice. For 31 years, Carson was a managing partner in the law firm of Chambless, Higdon and Carson in Macon, Ga., where he specialized in business, banking, and real estate law. About 25 years ago, Jim’s wife Beth gave him a painting course under the direction of Marianne Dunn as a Christmas gift. In 2003, when Carson retired, he and his wife moved to Saluda and he now paints full time. His work is featured in personal and corporate galleries across the United States and he is currently participating in a mentoring program with James Richards in Tucker, Ga. Tickets for the party are $100 per person. For more information on Jim Carson, Mike Minguez and Lou Pedro or the Fall Party, call 252-728-5225 or visit www. beauforthistoricsite.org.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayor’s notes

Managing Stormwater Run Off IT RAINED A LOT in Atlantic Beach this summer. The last half of the summer saw approximately 30 inches of rain in a relatively short period of time. That’s three hurricane’s worth of rain in a few weeks. When you have that much rain anywhere, you are going to have stormwater problems. Beach towns like ours have to navigate stringent regulations in dealing with stormwater. Essentially, we cannot pipe anymore water to the sound and we cannot pipe any more water to the ocean. So, when we have a lot of rain, we do not have many places we can put it. The regulations controlling stormwater runoff are there for a good reason – to protect water quality – and I am not suggesting they should be changed. Rather, I want to let you know that managing stormwater in Atlantic Beach may be more difficult that it seems at first glance. Nonetheless, addressing stormwater and flooding issues has been a priority for the Town of Atlantic Beach for the past several years and we have solved many of the worst flooding problems in town. Areas such as East Terminal, Dunes Avenue and Hoop Pole Creek Road that used to flood badly with any significant amount of rain now drain rapidly. We have also made big improvements on Kinston Avenue, Durham Avenue and Old Causeway Road. But, the heavy rains we saw this summer made it clear that we still have work to do. As the town, we are responsible for flooding on town owned property such as streets and rights-of-way. We

cannot address flooding of private property Mayor Trace Cooper such as yards, condo complexes or private parking lots. But, there are things that private property owners can do to help manage stormwater on their own property which will help with flooding on their property as well as that of their neighbors. Rain gardens and pervious paving in driveways capture stormwater where it falls and help it infiltrate back into the earth as naturally as possible. To further address our flooding issues in Atlantic Beach, it will take action from both the town, in solving existing problems, as well as private property owners to prevent future problems. With this in mind, we put new stormwater control provisions in our town ordinances several years ago that apply to new construction as well as renovations and expansions of existing homes. We are currently revisiting some of these ordinances to see if there is anything else we can do to make them more effective. The challenge we face is that our town is already fully developed and much of our existing development was put in place before the current rules were in place which has resulted in certain lots that are “wall to wall” concrete. As a result, town streets and neighboring yards are left to catch the runoff. The Town of Atlantic Beach will continue to do its part to address our stormwater problems on our streets. But, a comprehensive solution will require the cooperation and efforts of the town, the state and private property owners alike.

fall fes Festivals Take Center Stage in

October

SEASONABLY COOLER WEATHER and less traffic are certainly a draw for the fall months on the Crystal Coast. But in October, there is plenty more to sing the praises of as well. It is festival time in Eastern North Carolina – from fish to flowers to kites – a time for celebration, a time for fellowship and a time for fun. The smell of seafood fills the salty air once again as Carteret County unites to celebrate the most copious resource it knows – seafood. The 28th annual NC Seafood Festival takes place on the streets of downtown Morehead City Oct. 3-5, and provides an abundance of seafood options to fill every appetite. The streets come alive with vendors, exhibits, live entertainment, games, rides and plenty more. The award-winning festival has become an anticipated tradition for locals and regular visitors. Country music artist Colt Ford heads the Saturday night entertainment lineup on the US Cellular Main Stage. Other acts include Slyde, Kasey Tyndall, AJR, The Embers, Six Pack of Gentlemen and more. Associated with the festival are the Twin Bridges 8K Road Race, the annual Southern Outer Banks Boat Show & Outdoor Expo and the heart-wrenching Blessing of the Fleet, where those who sacrifice their 50

lives to provide seafood for our community are recognized by other commercial fisherman with a parade of vessels at the NC State Port. Other activities include a family fishing tournament at Oceanana Pier, Atlantic Beach, and Bogue Inlet Fishing Pier, Emerald Isle, the always-popular flounder fling, the sailing regatta on Sunday and the live musical entertainment from one of three stages. The historic streets of downtown Swansboro host the 60th annual Mullet Festival on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 11-12, as it pays homage to the bait fish that seconds as a meal. 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. Celebrating a 1960s theme in honor of its anniversary, the festival will feature a variety of live entertainment, including Elvis tribute artist Wayne Euliss, the Fantastic Shakers, Band of Oz and Shanana, among others. Activities for children, more than 100 craft vendors, the mullet toss and a

stivals wide variety of food. To learn more about the Mullet Festival, visit swansborofestivals.com. Scheduled the same weekend, Oct. 11-12, 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. With two full days of entertainment, MumFest brings a variety of free entertainment including live bands, dance troupes, magicians, roving street performers, face painters and mermen and mermaids. In addition to all of the free entertainment there’s a riverfront amusement park with lots of exciting rides, including a waterfront Ferris Wheel. Throughout the weekend be sure to catch the X-POGO Stunt Team with an extreme pogo exhibition, Alex Clark, the super funny comedian who performs jaw dropping stunts, the Purina Incredible Dog Team with canine athletes, the Silver Drummer Girl, a huge model train show and other favorites. To learn more about MumFest, visit mumfest.com. Back on the Crystal Coast, the Carolina Kite Fest takes to the skies over Atlantic Beach Oct. 25-26. Sponsored by Kites Unlimited in Atlantic Beach, this free event brings kite enthusiasts from around the country to enjoy our uplifting fall breeze. 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.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes

We’re in this Together THERE ARE ALWAYS kudos to go around to the giving and volunteering people of Pine Knoll Shores. This month we celebrated our “Team Member of the Quarter” for the second quarter of this calendar year. Dan Law was this quarterly winner for all of the time and patience he has had in taking pictures all over our town as photographer for the Shoreline for the Parks & Recreation Committee, and then for every other event we have in town including parades, races, dedications and more. Dan is going to take a break from all the action for a while, but I want to extend a huge “Thank You!” to Dan for all the selfless hours he put into our town. Every town, city and village has a turnover rate. In other word, people move in, and people move out. It’s a natural cycle. In Pine Knoll Shores we have a lot of folks that are “parttimers” with the intent of eventually coming to stay. Whether part-timer or full-timer, we’re all just as important as the next person. Pine Knoll Shores has more than 20 home owners associations (HOA), and each of those have people that volunteer to be in office for their fellow homeowners. On the first of August we had the first PKS HOA Summit and invited the presidents, or their representative, to come to town hall and talk. Most of the PKS town offices were represented and did an

introduction as to who they are and what they do. Mayor Ken Jones Then we had the chairperson or representative from each town board or committee tell folks what they do for our town. This event highlighted communication at its best. Not only did people find out about the town, but they could put a face with the voice on the other end of the phone or email. The best part is that representatives from other HOAs in PKS had a chance to meet and talk with each other; sharing concerns and solutions. Again, we are a community! When there is turnover in our town we want to welcome them and ask that they become involved in “our” community. Don’t hesitate to ask about your involvement when you come to town hall to get your water turned on or just to find out what’s available. We are even adapting some of our boards to have part-time residents that are full-time property owners on those boards through technology. We know we are all in this together and your talents and time are valuable. We are sorry to see people leave, too. I couldn’t leave that part out and be honest. Because we are a close community, we make friends and meet a lot of people. But oh, the memories! Thank you to all that volunteer; the boards, firefighters, committees, VIPS, the Shoreline, garden clubbers and the list goes on. But I want to make sure to add a thank you to the home owners associations representatives for volunteering and being a valuable part of our shared community.

Hurricane Hazel Anniversary

HURRICANE HAZEL WAS by far the most famous hurricane to strike the North Carolina coast. The Category 4 hurricane came ashore on Oct. 15, 1954, near Little River Inlet on the border of North Carolina and South Carolina with wind speeds estimated as high as 150 miles per hour. By 9pm, the hurricane made landfall on the Carolina coast. Nineteen people were killed in North Carolina with several hundred more injured; 15,000 homes were destroyed and another 39,000 were damaged. Damages in the Carolinas amounted to $163 million. Beach property alone incurred $61 million in damages. Sixty years later, the NC Maritime Museum in Beaufort will mark the anniversary of Hurricane Hazel with a special presentation at 7pm on Wednesday, Oct. 8. This free evening program will examine the impacts of Hurricane Hazel, particularly in the area from Cape Fear to Cape Lookout. John Cole, warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Newport, will give an overview of the storm. A presentation will be made by NC Maritime Museum Education Curator John Hairr, author of “The Great Hurricanes of North Carolina,” who will share “Hurricane Hazel details and images of the damage inflicted by may not have been historical the storm. the most powerful “Hurricane Hazel may not have been the most powerful storm to ever strike storm to ever strike North Carolina, but it was certainly North Carolina, but the most widely known,” said Hairr. “Hazel was the most powerful storm to strike in the second half of the 20th it was certainly century. The effects of the storm were felt from the coast the most widely of South Carolina well into Canada. Most folks who lived through this powerful storm have some interesting stories known.” about the power of a tropical cyclone.” Hazel’s 130 mile-per-hour winds caused much damage to the waterfront along the Cape Fear River at Southport. The effects of Hazel’s right front quadrant

were severe up the coast as far as Cape Lookout, diminishing in intensity further north and east. Waters rose high enough to submerge Front Street in Beaufort, damaging several businesses and carrying away numerous docks. The winds and surge washed away part of the bridge across North River, cutting Beaufort off from travel with Down East communities except by boat or aircraft. The causeway connecting Morehead City and Beaufort suffered extensive damage during the storm. “No houses along the causeway between Beaufort and Morehead City were left intact,” observed a correspondent for the Carteret County New-Times. Several motorists were stranded on the east side of the Beaufort drawbridge at 9am when the surge rose four feet and flooded their cars. The program is free and open to the public. The NC Maritime Museum is located at 315 Front St., Beaufort. For more information, call 252-728-7317 or visit www.ncmaritimemuseums.com.

turtle tracks Emerald Isle Turtle Update AS THIS CONTRIBUTION is prepared on Sept. 1, the Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Program is beginning to draw to a close. What started as a very slow turtle season with only one nest in May and two in June, was brought back to normalcy by 10 nests in July. Consequently, while there were very few hatchlings to be seen in July, the numbers began to pour in through August and into early September. The season concluded with 15 nests in Emerald Isle. Fortunately, the only consequences of Hurricane Arthur were some high tides that presented a threat to nests in which the eggs were beginning to hatch but not yet emerge from their shells. The ongoing DNA study continued to provide valuable information on the nesting habits of loggerhead sea turtles. It was discovered that the female that laid Emerald Isle’s nest #5, also laid nests #3 and #12 in 2014. Furthermore, that female laid nests # 11, 17, 21, 25 and 27 in 2010 and #4, 12, 17, 22, 27 and 29 in 2012. That means she laid at least 14 nests in 2010-2014. Those nests contained about 1,500 eggs, 90 percent or more of which hatched. There can be no doubt about the importance of a single female. The Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Protection Program certainly hope that she remains healthy for many years to come.

Flood Insurance Tips If you have a Flood Insurance Policy you should be aware of a few things: There is some very restrictive wording in the flood insurance policy. First and foremost, the Flood Insurance Policy is a Federal Program and is governed by FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and Federal Common Law. It is not like any other insurance policy you have. There is no deviation in the coverage, regardless of which insurance company administers the plan for you. There is no coverage for the following: docks, piers, bulkheads, boat houses, walks, walkways, driveways, patios, fences, swimming pools, hot tubs, porches, or decks. Most people are aware that they have no coverage for docks, piers, bulkheads and boat houses over water - but most people are NOT aware that their swimming pools, hot tubs, fences and decks are NOT covered. A lot of homes have very elaborate decking and porches attached to the house. These decks are not covered by the National Flood Program. Sherry B. Edwards, CIC CISR AAI Emerald Isle Insurance 58
