coasting Beaufort Prepares for Invasion GET READY FOR cannons, wenches, sword fighting and grog as Beaufort prepares the town for its annual influx of pirates – the Beaufort Pirate Invasion. Townsfolk will battle the pirates for control of Beaufort on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 12-13. This annual event highlights the rich history of pirates that have pillaged and plundered along the east coast. More specifically, it is a reenactment of an actual historical event that occurred in August of 1747 between the Town of Beaufort and a ship of Spanish privateers. Enjoy the sea invasion at on the Beaufort waterfront with Capt. Sinbad and the Meka II and Capt. Ben Bunn and the Skipjack Ada Mae as they terrorize the citizens and try to take the town. Join the townsfolk, farmers and the militia in a parade as they march from the pirate encampment to the waterfront battle to win the town back from nefarious pirates. The two-day event includes activities throughout town, from the Peg-Leg Pirate Pooch Costume Contest and pet pictures with a pirate at Beaufort Pet Provisions to sea shanties and pirate songs performed at four stage locations. Aspiring young pirates can take part in the Scallywag School presented by Blackbeard’s crew, have lunch with the pirates or participate in the children’s pirate activities at the NC Maritime Museum. Signature events include the Buccaneer Dinner and Revue, Yo Ho Ho and a Bottle O’Run and Parlay on the Waterfront. For more information, or to purchase tickets for the signature events, visit beaufortpirateinvasion.com.

Kayak/Yoga with NC Coastal Federation On Saturday, Aug. 13, join April Clark, a board member with the NC Coastal Federation and owner of Second Wind Eco Tours, and yoga instructor April Clark for a kayak and yoga trip to Jones Island. The adventure runs from 9am to noon. The group will paddle from the Cedar Point Recreation Area in the Croatan National Forest. Depending on wide and tide, the pad8

dle to Jones Island is usually a casual 20-30 minute paddle suitable for adult beginners. Once on the island, participants will learn about conservation and restoration projects coordinated by the park and the federation. A yoga instructor will lead the group in a gentle yoga session under the shade of the island’s live oak trees. A swim from the island’s beach will prepare paddlers for the trip back to the Wildlife Landing. “Partnering with the Coastal Federation enhances the paddle experience for kayakers,” Clark said. “Providing education and advocacy to our trips adds value and is a smart way to ensure we can use these waterways for years to come.” The cost, with kayak rental, is $35 for federation members, $45 for nonmembers; $20 for federation members and $30 for nonmembers who bring their own kayak. Guests are asked to bring bottled water, towels, hat or visor, sunscreen, water shoes and sunglasses. There will be an opportunity to swim, so guests can bring their bathing suit if they like. To learn more, or to register, call 910-325-3600.

Civil War History at Tryon Palace The sights and sounds of the Civil War will come to life during Tryon Palace’s Civil War Living History Weekend held at the New Bern Academy Museum Aug. 13-14.

All of these interpretive activities will help demonstrate the ways in which North Carolinians experienced the war and how they lived during Union occupation. In addition to the special activities at the Academy, Tryon Palace will also hold Civil War themed tours on the Palace grounds. To learn more, visit tryonpalace.org.

The Bridge By Thomas Gill TOM GILL IS a retired Air Force officer and former business executive who lives in Emerald Isle. “The Bridge� is his first novel and is based, in part, on true events. It is written in three voices, each telling the progressive story. The author has managed well to capture the personality of each narrator. Kirby, a 15 year old, opens the book sharing her experiences visiting her grandparents at the beach. Her parents pick up the tale as it moves from light to serious. “The Bridge� is not literary fiction with voluminous words, instead concise and to the point in sharing a moving account of a family tragedy. From a secret kept for years to a former Marine with PTSD, the idyllic summer for Kirby moves to revelations which change her life. This is a simple story with not so simple ramifications. The setting of the novel is an excellent reason to visit “The Bridge� for a rewarding read. Anyone familiar with Emerald Isle and Swansboro will enjoy the tour of local places of interest as they form the backdrop for the engaging narrative. Young and old alike will find this to be story well worth reading.

county perspective Tall Structures and Light Pollution Are Encroachment Risks to Cherry Point KEY RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED in the Cherry Point Regional Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) deal with the threats to military installations caused by tall structures and wind turbines. The JLUS study team reports: “Wind turbines present a host of compatibility issues for military aviators.” MCAS Cherry Point wants to maintain a 40-nautical mile radius with no wind turbines. This territory includes the entire four-county region – Carteret, Craven, Pamlico and Jones counties. Because of their height, wind turbines pose flight path hazards and may create line of sight obstructions as well as glare and glint. “Oscillation, caused by the rotation of turbine blades, and electromagnetic interference can cause disruption to electronic instrumentation, radio communications and radar systems.” Bottom line: Wind turbines with the 40-mile radius endanger the overall ability to control air traffic in general and all of the traffic patterns at MCAS Cherry Point, Bogue Field and Atlantic Field. The JLUS team commended those counties and municipalities around MCAS Cherry Point that have enacted tall structure ordinances to discourage development of commercial-scale wind farms. However, the area’s wind resources are likely to continue to attract interest from developers. Proponents of wind energy will continue to knock on the door of local landowners, the JLUS team predicts. Therefore, the JLUS study recommends that tall structure ordinances be strengthened by creating uniform standards throughout the region, modeling the Carteret County ordinance. Another major encroachment issue that threatens the military’s training

capability is light pollution. “Dark Skies” are essential to military testing and night training missions. Light sources at night can cause excessive glare and illumination, impacting the use of military night vision devices and air operations. Night testing and training are essential to the MCAS Cherry Point mission and at Bogue Field and Atlantic Field. Pilots conduct realistic night flight scenarios, including night precision runway approaches and landings and low-visibility operational testing. Protecting the night sky from ambient lighting is an encroachment priority. Future growth and development along Highways 24, 58 and 70 could pose adverse impacts from over-lighting and unshielded lighting. If continued without mitigation measures in place, this could curtail future night training and readiness activities at all MCAS Cherry Point installations. Fortunately, light pollution is one factor that can be readily controlled, through a combination of regulatory measures, voluntary compliance and new lighting technology. Moreover, “Dark Sky” friendly lighting is widely available and economical. The International Dark Sky Association has developed guidelines as a template for region-wide standards. Natural allies in the war on light pollution could be the Crystal Coast turtle watching enthusiasts who clearly understand the negative effects of too much light on the beach and how it can confuse hatchlings as they struggle through the sand to reach the ocean.

chamber connection The Chamber Welcomes New Leader THE BOARD OF directors of the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce has bid a fond farewell to the gentleman who has been at the helm of our organization for the past 12 years – Mike Wagoner. Mike retired in July as our president, after an illustrious 46-year career in the journalism and public relations arena and chamber work. On June 27, the board welcomed Tom Kies as our new president. Tom is a familiar face, having served most recently as executive director of Downtown Morehead City Revitalization Association. Prior to that, Tom was publisher and general manager of NCCOAST in Morehead City. Tom has a solid background with expertise in business development, marketing, advertising and public relations. He knows the Carteret County communities, its culture and the key players. Tom has served continuously as a member of the chamber board since 2007. (He was recruited to join the board shortly after completing Leadership Carteret 2007.) Tom served as board chair in 2011, so he knows firsthand what makes the chamber tick. We are absolutely thrilled that Tom accepted our offer, and we expect great leadership and unparalleled accomplishments. He is confident, competent, capable and captivating. He is amiable, affable and approachable. Marlene Anderson was the board chair when Mike was hired. She is insistent that he was the right person for the job

at the right time, the guy who was able to build bridges of trust and to gain the support and buy in from all corners and quarters of the county and beyond … and through some innovative programming techniques, he was able to energize the chamber to become the go-to organization. Mike’s commitment to our chamber, dedication, professionalism and passion to make Carteret County North Carolina’s premier location for business and leisure have been remarkable to observe. As a government watchdog, he’s been our bulldog. Years from now, we will still marvel about what was accomplished under Mike’s leadership and what he has meant to the chamber and all people of the Crystal Coast. His common sense approach to balancing progress with preservation proved to be a brilliant posture for the chamber. He had – and still has, of course – a reserved leadership style that can be summed up as the “guide from the side.” That is a supreme compliment to allow the volunteer leaders to be in the limelight. But he was there to ensure that none of us stumbled or fumbled. We wish Mike and his wife, Sandy, a wonderful “staycation” on the beach this summer, and we take comfort than in retirement, he has agreed to serve as a “Consultant Emeritus.” Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Ingredients Can Help Fight Inflammation THOSE OUTSIDE OF the medical profession may consider inflammation a negative thing. However, inflammation is an attempt by the human body to heal itself and can help protect the body from bacterial and viral infections. Inflammation can be poor for health when it is a constant occurrence. Autoimmune diseases often trigger inflammatory responses even when there is no threat of infection, and that can cause the immune system to damage its own tissues. The right diet, however, can help reduce instances of inflammation. • Ginger: Researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School found that ginger supplements reduced markers of colon inflammation in a select group of patients. In the study, conducted over a period of 28 days, 30 patients were randomly assigned either two grams of ginger root supplements per day or a placebo. After 28 days, patients who had taken the ginger supplements had significant reductions in inflammation. • Turmeric: Used primarily for flavoring, turmeric is a spice closely related to ginger and contains polyphenolic compounds known to help in the fight against inflammation. Turmeric can be added to stews and sauces, and some studies have indicated that it can alleviate the pain caused by osteoarthritis, a potentially painful condition that occurs when the joints’ natural shock absorbers break down. • Extra-virgin olive oil: Extra-virgin olive oil is a staple of the Mediterranean diet, an approach to eating that emphasizes fish, fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grains. The 16 ISLAND REVIEW

Mediterranean diet can reduce inflammation, and it also has been linked to a lower risk of heart attack and heart disease. It may even help prevent stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. • Vegetables: Men and women who eat lots of different vegetables may be less likely to develop inflammation. According to a study by the American Gut Project, people who eat more than 25 species of plants per week have a greater assortment of bacteria in their stomachs than those who eat fewer than 10 per week. That’s because the greater variety of produce and legumes helps to increase the amount of healthy bacteria lining human stomachs, and that healthy bacteria helps to reduce instances of inflammation. • Omega-3 fatty acids: Omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in certain types of fish, help suppress cytokines and other inflammatory chemicals. Salmon, herring, sardines and anchovies are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, and eating fish twice a week can not only reduce inflammation but also decrease levels of LDL cholesterol, often referred to as ‘bad’ cholesterol. A certain amount of inflammation is a good thing. But men and women who find themselves routinely battling inflammation may want to make certain dietary changes to counter their inflammation problems.

EMERALD ISLE

mayor’s notes IT IS HARD to believe that it is August already. I hope everyone has had a good summer so far. Summertime is just flying. August will be an exciting month in Emerald Isle. We are pleased to welcome The Little Pink Houses of Hope to our Island on Aug. 20-27. Little Pink Houses of Hope is a nonprofit organization that provides FREE week long vacations for breast cancer patients and their families. This organization was started by Jeanine Pattern-Cole a breast cancer survivor. She understands that family is one of the most important components of every cancer patient’s recovery. Supporting and creating an environment rooted in family fun is the core of every LPHOH retreat week. In a fun-filled environment designed to make family the priority, survivors and their loved ones are able to laugh, connect, play and most important heal. Let me share some remarks from families who attended the retreat here at Emerald isle in the past. In the words of the King family, “Little Pink Houses of Hope reminded us to smile. They reminded us that we could be normal and we are beautiful.” The Pallot family shared: ”Little Pink was such an unexpected surprise. We found families who had similar stories and struggles so the group felt like a safe place. Our week was filled with fun and laughter and TIME together. It was magic.” I would personally like to thank our citizens for all of their hard work in preparation for making this week possible. Thanks to all of our businesses who will be reaching out to this group. Thanks to our area churches for all of their hard work in preparing for

LPHOH. As mayor my heart is filled with joy for the way we have reached out to Little Pink Houses of Hope. This will be a life changing Mayor Eddie Barber week for each and every family attending the retreat. I am looking forward to meeting the families. Let’s give them a wonderful welcome to Emerald isle. We still have three great concerts at EmeraldFest in August. • Aug. 4 Backseat Romeo (Acoustic Rock) • Aug. 11 Big Drink (Pop Rock/ Variety) • Aug. 18 Naked knees (A Party) We have had great attendance at EmeraldFest. See you on Thursday night at 6:30pm at the Western Regional Access. It is a fun way to spend time at the beach and hear great music. I would also like to remind everyone of the Beach Music Festival on Saturday, August 27. We have a great group of musicians lined up for the festival. The Schedule is as follows: 11am – Sammy O’Banion Master of Ceremonies and performing “Don’t Walk on By” 11:30am – Spare Change 12:30pm – Too Much Sylvia 1:30pm – Jim Quick and Coastline 2:30pm – The Fantastic Shakers 3:30pm – Hip Pocket with special guest Danny Woods, formerly Chairman of the Board 4:30pm – The Tams I hope you enjoy August at Emerald Isle. Enjoy each and every day of August. See you around the Island.

August 2016

New Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) Released THE FEDERAL EMERGENCY Management Agency and the NC Division of Emergency Management have released new flood maps for Carteret County, including Emerald Isle. The new maps have been developed over the past few years and are expected to be formally adopted for use in future building regulations and flood insurance rates sometime in early or mid-2017. The new maps can be viewed at fris.nc.gov/fris. For the vast majority of properties in Emerald Isle, there is no change in the new flood maps. Overall, the changes in the new maps are favorable for Emerald Isle, with a net reduction of 508 properties that have been removed from a flood zone. In some cases, properties have been completely removed from a VE zone and are no longer in a flood zone, while in other cases the property has been converted from a VE zone to an AE zone (AE is generally less restrictive than VE). In other instances, properties have been removed from an AE zone or the base flood elevation has decreased slightly. These changes potentially result in significant flood insurance premium savings and/or reduced regulatory burden in the future. Town staff analysis has determined, however, that 99 properties are now added to a flood zone, and some (but likely not all) of these properties could face flood insurance requirements (both for insurance coverage and building regulations) in the future. A list of these properties is available at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/Data/Sites/1/media/pdfs/newfloodpropertiestable.pdf. Additionally, there are as many as 40 properties that have an increase in the base flood elevation or a change from an AE zone to a VE zone. Town Planner Josh Edmondson (jedmondson@emeraldisle-nc.org or 252-354-3338) has attempted to identify all potentially negatively impacted properties in Emerald Isle, and is available to assist our property owners with any questions pertaining to the maps and building regulations. Questions pertaining to flood insurance premiums should be directed to your insurance agent. If you believe your property is negatively impacted, the town recommends that you retain the services of a professional surveyor to verify the elevation of your lowest habitable floor in the structure, as this determination may negate any potential negative impacts. Additionally, an appeals process will be formally initiated later this year, and town staff is available to assist you in this process. Finally, if you are negatively impacted, you may want to purchase flood insurance NOW in order to take advantage of potential grandfathered rates before the new flood maps become effective in 2017. Grandfathered rates are somewhat confusing, and your eligibility for grandfathered rates may be impacted by the age and use of the structure, and also by continually evolving federal legislation. Your insurance agent should be able to help you determine the best strategy. Again, for the vast majority of property owners in Emerald Isle (there are approximately 7,300 real property parcels in Emerald Isle, and only 1364 are in a flood zone), there is no change in the new flood map. For most others, the change is a positive change, however, if you are negatively impacted we encourage you to consider all of your options moving forward. Town staff is happy to help in any way possible.

2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan Update - Saturday, Aug. 20 Work continues on the development of the town’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan update, and we want your input on Emerald Isle’s future! A special public input meeting is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 20 from 10am-1pm in the town board meeting room to provide an opportunity for our residents, property owners, businesses, and visitors to share their ideas about Emerald Isle’s future. We want to know what’s important to you, what goals you believe the town should pursue in the future, and how you’d like to see Emerald Isle develop in the future. The town greatly values your input, and we hope to see you on Aug. 20! For more information about the 2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan Update, please visit www.planei.org/home. 24 ISLAND REVIEW

FY 16-17 Budget Approved The board of commissioners approved the FY 16-17 budget at its June meeting, and this spending plan will be in effect from July 1, 2016 - June 30, 2107. The new budget maintains the current tax rates and fee schedule for all taxpayers. The town’s General Fund tax rate remains at 15.5 cents per $100 of assessed value (14 cents for general services and 1.5 cents for beach nourishment), the Primary Benefit District tax rate (oceanfront and inlet-front only; for beach nourishment) remains at 4 cents, and the annual solid waste fee remains at $228 per year for each developed residential property (equivalent to $19 per month). The new budget includes sufficient funds to maintain high quality town services, and also includes funding for high priority initiatives. The new budget includes funding for a planned bicycle path extension along Bogue Inlet Drive to link the “downtown” area to Bogue Inlet Pier, construction of a new storm water pump station to serve the Osprey (Continued on page 26)

Rescue Tubes Make a Difference!

Reminder - Important Golf Cart Regulations

Thanks to the generosity of numerous individual donors last fall (that collectively provided approximately $10,000), the town installed new “rescue tubes” at numerous beach access locations in Emerald Isle this spring. On June 8, bystanders used a new rescue tube to rescue two swimmers in distress near Point Emerald Villas before emergency crews arrived on scene. The town is grateful to everyone who contributed to this program!

The town’s golf cart program continues to grow in popularity, and there are now more than 600 golf carts registered in the program. The town is pleased with the program, as it provides an alternative form of convenient transportation, makes it easier to access the beach, and contributes to the town’s overall image as a high quality resort community. It is important, however, for golf cart operators to follow the rules for this program, which are aimed at promoting the safety of other motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists, and the individuals in the golf cart. The most commonly violated regulations are:

Neighborhood Watch Program Paying Off for EI! Thanks to diligent efforts by dedicated volunteers and the Emerald Isle Police Department, the town’s Neighborhood Watch program is paying off. The program was implemented in January 2014 and has greatly enhanced public safety and fostered a greater sense of community throughout Emerald Isle. The Neighborhood Watch program is a key part of the EIPD’s overall emphasis on community relationships and education. To read Chief Waters’ statement on the Neighborhood Watch program, please visit www. emeraldisle-nc.org/police.

Help us Control Mosquitoes in EI - Tip and Toss! With the warm weather upon us, it’s important to “tip and toss” anything on your property that is or has the potential to hold standing water … where mosquitoes can breed! If you have buckets, flower pots, kiddie pools, cans, cups, or other areas where water stands, please empty it and make sure it can’t collect rainwater in the future. The town’s public works department regularly conducts mosquito landing counts all over Emerald Isle to determine the need to conduct spraying operations, and will spray as necessary in accordance with State guidelines. Public works also distributes larvacide in larger public and private water bodies to prevent mosquitoes, and the town also offers free larvacide to any property owner who requests it – simply stop by the town administration building or public works.

The Return of the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival – Aug. 27 Town staff and volunteers are working hard to prepare for the return of the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival on Saturday, Aug. 27!

shorelines New Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) Released FEMA’S FLOOD INSURANCE Rate Maps (FIRMs) are the agency’s official record delineating the areal extent of the base 1% annual chance floodplain (aka – Special Flood Hazard Area, or SFHA). The “1% annual chance” is sometimes used synonymously with the term “100-year storm” – the latter title can be a touch misleading as it implies the storm and resulting flood elevation levels will only occur once every 100 years. Again that is not quite correct – it’s the storm and resulting water surface elevation has a 1% chance of occurring in any given year. Hence 1 in 100 years is the 1% annual chance (= 1/100), while the 1 in 500 year event (= 1/500) is the 0.2% annual chance, and so on. More practically speaking however, FIRMs dictate if a property is within the 1% annual chance floodplain and to which zone within the floodplain a property may be subject to (AE zone, VE zone, etc.) as neatly presented in Fig. 1. This information ultimately determines flood insurance rates and requirements, and where floodplain development regulations may apply.

“FIRM Terminology” Despite all the alien looking acronyms you see in Fig. 1; we can get just about all the baseline information we need to understand right from this figure. So let’s touch on the more important components: BFE (BASE FLOOD ELEVATION). This is a big one – it’s the water surface elevation resulting from the flood that has a 1% percent chance of occurring in any given year. Very importantly; the BFE is comprised of two constituents – (1) the Stillwater Elevation, which is the storm surge including wave setup and is coupled with; (2) the Wave Effects, which is the sum of the wave crest elevation or wave run up added to the Stillwater Elevation. In other words the BFE is the surge + the waves on top. X, AE, and VE ZONES – The BFE help determine how far inland the 1% annual-chance flood event will go. If a property is on the “dry” side of the 1% annual-chance flood event, then the property is out of the floodplain and is in an X Zone. If the property is on the “wet” side of the 1% annual-chance flood event, then it is in the floodplain – it is subject to inundation by the 1% annual-chance flood event. There are two important designations within the floodplain – AE and VE zones. These

Fig. 1 – Cross-sectional map demarcating the zones and elevations depicted FIRMs.

28 ISLAND REVIEW

August 2016

zones within the floodplain are determined by looking at the Wave Effect constituent of the BFE mentioned above. If the wave effects are less than 3 feet, then it is in an AE Zone. If the wave effects exceed 3 feet, then it is in a VE zone. And lastly, you will see the LIMWA or Coastal A Zone – this is an area where the Wave Effects are between 3 and 1.5 feet and it is recommended (but not mandatory) that building requirements should be of a VE Zone, but the flood insurance requirements are still of the less risk AE zone. Understanding these zonal concepts are very important because they have major implications with respect to flood insurance and building requirements. If a structure is in the floodplain (remember Zones AE or VE) and has a mortgage from federally regulated or insured lenders; then flood insurance is a mandatory requirement. There is no mandatory coverage requirements for structures outside the floodplain (Zone X), yet individual lenders may require it. Flood insurance is provided by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) that is administered by FEMA, who works with more than 80 private insurance companies to offer flood insurance to homeowners, renters, and business owners. Rates are set nationally and do not differ from company to company or agent to agent. These rates depend on many factors, which include the date and type of construction of your home, along with your building’s level of risk (ex. – Zone AE or VE). In order to qualify for flood insurance, the home or business must be in a community that has joined the NFIP and agreed to enforce floodplain management standards.

The Release of the New FIRMs The existing FIRMs for Carteret County were adopted in 2003 and new preliminary FIRMs were released on June 30, 2016. This is a big deal – the 1% annual-chance flood event has been constrained using the latest computer models and therefore the BFE and flood zone designation of 1,000s of structures and properties are changing. Accordingly, this will impact insurance and building requirements within the county on a rather large scale. Although the FIRMs are often prepared by FEMA, the State of North Carolina via the Department of Public Safety – Emergency Management Section (NCEM) has assumed this responsibility. There will be no paper copies of the maps this

time – all the updated, preliminary FIRMs will be available interactively on-line at fris.nc.gov/fris. If you have visited any type of GIS-based website, such as you would to look up a tax value of a property; then you should encounter little problems concerning navigation and functionality when visiting the site. Fig. 2 is a screen grab as an example along with a few highlighted items.

Timeline There is a relatively long period before the preliminary maps become effective – roughly 18 to 24 months (~2018). This is necessitated in a large part by a statutory 90-day appeal period for floodplain designations and BFEs, which will likely begin in January 2017. An additional 30 days is provided for further conflict resolution, and lastly an independent scientific resolution panel can be requested. This schedule also affords the local municipalities time to update and adopt their floodplain ordinances to stay compliant with the NFIP.

Appeals Property owners can appeal the preliminary floodplain designations, the BFE, and other components to NCEM. Appeals can take many different forms – for instance the elevation of your land or first living floor may indeed be above the BFE but the FIRMs depict otherwise. In this case obtaining a flood elevation certificate could be a way to provide data for an appeal. Issues such as having vegetative buffers on your property that may have not been realized by NCDEM could also “slow down” the 1% chance storm and prevent the water elevation from impacting your home. This could be another approach to take. Talk to your local government planning department as a first step. They can also assist you with understanding the fris.nc.gov/fris website as well.

General trends For the county in very general terms, we’re seeing a decrease in the VE zone along most of Bogue Banks – either

a decrease to an AE Zone or even out of the floodplain altogether (X Zone). This is a result of a better consideration of the primary frontal dune along the island – i.e., the frontal stops/buffers the 1% annual chance storm. On the converse, we’re experiencing an expansion of the AE Zone along our estuarine rivers and creek areas, mostly a trend shifting properties/structures out of the floodplain (X Zone) to inside the floodplain (AE Zone). Improved modeling of storm surge in the sounds, rivers, and creeks is the justification provided for this adjustment. Table 1 provides a summary of the changes in the numbers of structures in the V and A Zone between the effective (current) and preliminary (updated) maps.

Two Closing Reminders (1) Questions concerning floodplain designations, BFEs, the fris.nc.gov/fris website, floodplain building ordinances, the appeal process, and similar questions should be directed toward the planning department of the political jurisdiction of your property. (2) Questions concerning insurance however should be directed to your insurance agent – especially if your property is going towards a negative or even positive floodplain designation change. Significant changes to the NFIP have recently been implemented with the passage of the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12) and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 (HFIAA). These laws are impacting annual surcharges, deductibles, pre-FIRM buildings/properties, secondary homes, and implements mandated insurance increases of subsidized policies and newly mapped properties. Note: Pre-FIRM buildings were constructed before the effective date of the first FIRM for a community, and hence before detailed flood hazard data and flood elevations were provided to the community and usually before the community enacted comprehensive regulations on floodplain regulation. Pre-FIRM buildings can be insured using “subsidized” rates.

Table 1 – Summary of the V and A Zone changes between the current (effective 2003) and preliminary (updated) maps. Note these numbers are for any structure in the floodplain – it does depict vacant properties that are within the floodplain or take into account structures that are in the floodplain, but do not have a federally regulated or insured mortgages.

Carteret County Antiques and Collectables Club Celebrates Anniversary

IT WAS MARCH 26 1986 when 12 students enrolled in a course on antiques sponsored by the community college met to start the Carteret County Antiques and Collectibles Club. Instructor Jean Bruyere Kell was very helpful in getting them organized. She was a well-known antiquarian, local dealer, historical researcher, preservationist, author, editor and mother. Quite appropriately, her class met in the historic Rustell House, circa 1732. This house was saved from destruction by the Beaufort Historical Association (BHA) and relocated to its grounds on Turner Street in 1975. People will recognize the building today as the location of the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery. Club members wanted a means to continue expanding their knowledge of antiques and share new information. The monthly lunch-time meetings provided an opportunity to interact socially in a relaxed environment while learning more about numerous related subjects. Field trips to museums, historic sites, antique shops and to see extensive collections were also scheduled. In addition, the club has given back to the community. It has given books and monetary donations in memory of past members to various community organizations. It is no surprise that Antique Club members have become involved in other historic projects in the community. Three persons readily come to mind: Ashley Sullivan from Beaufort, a long-time member of the Beaufort Historical Association, was active in raising the needed funds to rescue and restore the aforementioned Rustell House. Her extensive knowledge of late 18th and 19th century furnishings and design contributed much to create the authentic environments found in the old homes and other buildings on tour. Ashley is also a charter member of the Antique Club. When Jack Spencer Goodwin retired from his distinguished career as librarian and scholar at the Smithsonian Institute and Library of Congress, he returned to Sea Level. He was enthusiastically welcomed to the Antique Club and to Carteret County. Well remembered as one of the founders of The History Place, he developed a wonderful library well-known for genealogy and Carteret County history. Thanks go to Barbara Z. Phillips from Down East (Williston). As a charter member and mainstay of the club, she is a great antiquarian and experienced dealer with a special interest in rare and old books, and art. Her memories of the club over the years have contributed much in keeping track of its history. The 30th anniversary of the founding The Antiques and Collectables of the Carteret County Antiques and Club meets monthly on the third Collectibles Club was celebrated this Wednesday (except June-August) at spring. Two charter members were 11:30am, mostly at Clawson’s 1905 present for the anniversary celebration, Restaurant in Beaufort. For meeting, Barbara Z. Phillips, left, and Ashley or additional information, call Shirley Sullivan. Both ladies are still active at 252-247-0114. New members and members and were presented with visitors are always welcome, no rescorsages to honor their long-term ervations necessary. involvement with the club.

at the AQUARIUM Whoooo’s Who WISE UP ABOUT owls with programs, crafts, activities and close-up encounters Aug. 4. The aquarium joins other organizations and facilities worldwide in celebrating International Owl Awareness Day. Owl-oriented activities spread knowledge and debunk myths about these often mysterious winged wonders. The day also reveals the troubles some species face and how everyone can help. Highlights include opportunities to meet three owls that live at the aquarium. Bolt, an Eastern screech owl from the aquarium’s outreach department, stars in two meet-and-greet programs. Great-horned owl Abira and barn owl Alba, cast members of the Bird’s-Eye View daily bird shows, make public appearances also. All three owls have injuries or conditions that give them little chance of surviving on their own in the wild. Also among the feathered fun: • Check the schedule for when and where to watch the dissection of an owl pellet, a compacted, regurgitated mass of indigestible parts of prey such as bones, teeth, claws, skulls, feathers and fur. An examination of pellets provides insight into the diet and lifestyle of the bird.

• Look for owl crafts and other activities in Discovery Class room, plus bio-facts such as owl wings and other touchable items. • Throughout the day, enjoy colorful posters around the aquarium featuring the “whoooo,” what, when and where of owl populations around the world. Owl Awareness Day activities are free with admission or membership. Admission to the twice-daily Bird’s-Eye View bird program also is free.

Little Minnows Play Area The aquarium’s youngest visitors now have their own special place to let their imaginations run wild. The Little Minnows Play Area, located just before the aquarium gift shop, features soft ride-on toys, costumes, games and a reading nook.

Sea Turtle Summer Sea turtles get the spotlight this summer at the aquarium. Just in front of the aquarium, a new sand sculpture by Sandy Feat artists, wows visitors of all ages. Sculptors mixed imagination with 14 tons of sand to create a larger-thanlife scene of a sea turtle family. Inside the aquarium, the new Loggerhead Odyssey

exhibit tells the story of the sea turtles that hatch along North Carolina beaches and what we can do to help them. You can chat with Caretta, a live-animation sea turtle character that shares her stories in programs throughout the day. Interactive games will test your knowledge of sea turtles and offer a fun way to join the effort to protect them. While visiting the aquarium, be sure to check out our five sea turtles including: 6-yearold Nimbus the white loggerhead sea turtle, a large green sea turtle, and three yearlings. For an adventure outside of the aquarium, the Sea Turtle Trek program is offered twice a week on Sundays and Thursdays. Participants stroll the nighttime beach to discover fascinating facts about the life of sea turtles and look for loggerhead nests. Visit the aquarium’s website for details and registration.

Fins to Follow The NC Aquariums recently partnered with OCEARCH, a nonprofit organization known for tracking white sharks and other apex predators, in an effort to tag local sharks. In addition to tagging, members of the science team from Adventure Aquarium, Florida Aquarium, Audubon Aquarium of the Americas, Georgia Aquarium and the South-East Zoo Alliance for Reproduction and Conservation gathered data for a variety of related studies. Sand tiger sharks (Carcharias taurus) are found in the western Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Maine to Argentina. They are known to congregate near the many shipwrecks along North Carolina. Little is known about their migration and breeding patterns and they have one of the lowest reproduction rates of all sharks. Tagging mature female sharks will help researchers better understand what habitat may be critical for migration, mating, and giving birth. Sharks will be tracked initially for two years.

Shark populations globally are in critical decline. Scientists estimate the loss of as many as 200,000 sharks a day, largely from overfishing and habitat loss. Without these apex predators, animal populations can become out of balance threatening ecosystems and economies. Two of the white sharks previously tagged by OCEARCH, Mary Lee and Katherine, are frequent visitors to the North Carolina coast. The acoustic tags used in the N.C. Aquarium study differ from the tags used on the white sharks and will not be tracked on OCEARCH’s Global Shark Tracker. However, 5 tiger sharks (Galeocerdo cuvier) were tagged during the expedition and can be tracked on www.ocearch.org. To follow these local sharks and get updates, select Wrightsville Beach, NC as the location in the search area. The tagged tiger sharks include: Carolina, Crystal, Lexi, Orlando and Peggy.

Labor Day For those of you thinking ahead, the aquarium is open normal operating hours on Sept. 5, Labor Day, 9am-5pm. The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is 5 miles west of Atlantic Beach at 1 Roosevelt Blvd., Pine Knoll Shores, NC 28512. Hours are 9am-5pm daily.

SO FAR 2016 has more nests than in the past two years. While 2014 had 16 nests by the end of season and 2015 had 15, we have so far been able to celebrate 27 nests on the beaches of Emerald Isle. The volunteers have been out at daybreak every morning looking for sea turtle tracks. All of our nesting events this season have been put in by female loggerhead sea turtles. The loggerhead gets its name from its distinctive large head. It is a federally listed endangered species. Their existence is threatened by development, predators, poachers, boat propellers, rising sea levels, gill nets and uninformed visitors This season has provided some of our visitors with the privilege of observing a middle of the night nesting process. If you see a nesting female stay clear of the area, stay quiet, don’t take flash photos or shine bright lights on her and you will be

TURTLE TRACKS

amazed at the sight of this huge awkward turtle making her way up the beach, putting in a clutch of about 100 eggs and then carefully covering the nest site with sand thrown by her flippers. She will then turn and drag herself back to the ocean, perhaps to return later in the season or in another year. Some young visitors observed a sea turtle beginning a nest on the beach late one night, they were smart to call it into the police department although they described it as “an armadillo on the beach.” Some of our volunteers were called and were able to watch the event and then move the nest site further up the beach closer to the dune since it was already being threatened by the high tide that night. This season North Carolina is again participating in a research program which tests the shell of one egg lifted from each nest for DNA information. The results establishes relationships between individuals, such as grandmother, mother, daughter as well as the frequency and location of nesting by the same of related turtles. North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Northern Florida all participate in this project and the research is conducted and analyzed by the University of Georgia under the direction of Brian Shamblin. Our volunteers are looking forward to the beginning of hatching season as well as more nests. For further information about our program please contact: Pam Minnick pammin@aol.com or Emilie Zucker ezucker@ec.rr.com.

PROTECTING

HAIR

FROM SURF AND SUN!

PEOPLE ARE WELL AWARE that they need to protect their skin from the ultraviolet rays of the sun. But few may know they need to devote as much attention to protecting their hair. In addition to exposing hair to potentially harmful UV rays, time outdoors in the sun can leave hair brittle, dull and more prone to breakage. People fail to realize that the scalp also is susceptible to sunburn and can take a beating when in the sun for many hours. If your hair is particularly thin, you may be more at risk for sun-related trauma to the scalp. Combine damage from the sun with the drying factor of chemically treated pool water or saltwater, and you have a recipe for bad hair. There are a number of ways to protect the hair and still enjoy some fun in the sun. • Wear a hat when out in the sun. A hat will serve as a barrier from direct sunlight. A hat will protect your face while covering your head and most of your hair. When swimming, opt for a swimming cap that will cover the hair and guard it from pool chemicals or seawater. • Use a leave-in conditioner. Leave-in conditioners or even regular conditioners can be combed through your hair before you head to the pool or beach. The conditioner will coat the strands of hair and protect it from drying out and other sun damage. It also helps hair from tangling on boat rides. • Rely on an SPF product. There are leave-in treatments for hair and scalp that are a conditioner and sunscreen all-in-one. But if you need something that works in a pinch, simply dilute a little standard sunscreen with water and spritz it through the hair, paying attention to the scalp and other easily burned areas, like the ears and nape of the neck. You can also mix sunscreen with a little conditioner and work it through your hair.

• Rinse your hair before and after swimming. Saltwater and pool water may continue to cause damage after you finish swimming. By rinsing your hair before swimming, the cool water helps close the hair follicle and reduce the amount of damage done by chlorine and salt water. Once you’re through, rinse your hair again with cool, clean water to get out as much salt or chemical residue as possible. Also rinse out any sand that may have become lodged in your hair, as sand can rub against hair and cause breakage. When you have time for a shower, use an after-sun shampoo specially designed to thoroughly clean hair after it has been exposed to the sun. • Keep hair from turning green. Few people hope to have their hair turn green after swimming in a pool. Unfortunately, such a transformation is somewhat common, particularly for those with blonde or light-colored hair. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the chlorine itself that causes hair to turn green, but rather oxidized metals in the pool water that bind to the protein in the hair shaft. Copper is the metal that produces the green tint and is often found in algaecides. The chlorine added to the pool may speed up the oxidizing process but is not the actual cause of the color. Special shampoos that chelate the metal in the hair follicle can help remove the green. Also, try rinsing your hair with a mixture of clean water and baking soda after swimming. • Avoid excessive hair styling. Highlighting or coloring the hair directly before a fun-in-the-sun vacation can dry out or frizz hair even further. Furthermore, the sun and the saltwater will naturally highlight hair even further, so you could end up with a different color than you initially intended. If you have colored your hair, keep it pinned up and under a hat when out in the sun. Also, minimize drying hair with a hair dryer, and cut down on your use of heat-based styling aides. These appliances can just compound hair damage. It is important to protect the hair and scalp when spending significant time in the sun. Whether you cover up or lather on sunscreen, there are a number of ways to reduce hair damage that results from sun exposure.

Recognizing Termite Damage HOME OWNERSHIP CAN be an unending series of adventures, especially for those homeowners who love good home improvement projects. Some projects are fun and improve the value of a home instantly, while others are undertaken to address a potentially serious issue. Discovering that termites are taking up residence where you live can be disconcerting, but termites are a very common occurrence. Understanding termites and recognizing the signs of termite damage early on can help homeowners reduce the havoc that such critters can wreak on their homes. Termites are social insects that live together in colonies. These colonies eat nonstop, dining on wood and other cellulose plant matter. They also eat materials made from plants, like fabric and paper. According to the National Pest Management Association, termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage a year. Studies show that queen termites can live up to decades under ideal climate conditions while workers and soldiers live approximately one to two years. While there are many varieties of termites, all are silent destroyers capable of chewing undetected through housing structures. To eradicate termites, homeowners must first identify the insects and then contact a termite management specialist to address the pest problem. Spotting Termites Termites may not always be visible. Subterranean termite homes are usually formed in soil, where the termites build elaborate tunnel systems that channel through to above-ground food sources. Drywood and dampwood termites may live within the wood they consume and be undetectable until the wood collapses or rots away. Homeowners often realize they have a termite problem when they witness swarming termites. At this point there already may be a mature colony at work damaging a home. Swarming, winged termites form in a mature, established colony. Winged termites emerge and fly off looking for mates. Afterward they will locate a new breeding site and form another colony, potentially spreading infestations through multiple locations. Winged termites are attracted to light and can be seen by windows and doors in spring. Other signs of termites include accumulation of soil or dirt at the base of wood structures or the foundation of a home. There also may be fis-

imes sures or cracks near wood surfaces. Sometimes “frassâ€? or termite droppings can be seen. They appear as rough, granulated sawdust. Covered mud tubes, or channels of mud leading from the soil up the foundation of a home, are indicative of the presence of termites. Even if termites are no longer present in these tubes, that does not mean the termites have moved on. They simply may have chosen a new path to your home. Keeping Termites Away Once termites have been identified, it is time ime to eliminate them. This means getting rid of water and food sources that are close to a home. • Repair leaky faucets and other water drips in and around the house. • Keep gutters and downspouts clean. • Seal entry points around water and utility lines or pipes. • Divert water away from the foundation. • Keep lumber, firewood or paper away from the foundation of the home. • Clear away stumps and tree debris. • Prevent untreated wood from contacting the soil. Treating Termites It is very difficult for homeowners to get rid of termites by themselves. Very often they require the work of professionals. A termite exterminator will conduct a visual inspection of a home and property and may do extensive testing involving expensive acoustic or infrared equipment to probe the soil beneath the house. Depending on the species of termite, the exterminator will suggest various treatments. These may include the application of pesticides and making areas around the home less hospitable to termites. Severely damaged wood may need to be removed and replaced. Termites are problematic in many areas of the world. These insects often stay hidden and do serious damage that can cost homeowners a fortune. Treating termites promptly is essential.

Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival heats up EMERALD ISLE WAS the place to be each May in the 80s and 90s, as the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival lured North Carolinians to the beach for what many pegged the “party of the season.� Sun, sand, bathing suits, music, and of course that 80s hair, were front and center for one of the largest annual events the Crystal Coast experienced. It’s been 17 years since the music died, closing out the festival’s 20-year-run. But the community is abuzz this summer as word spreads about the Emerald Isle’s Beach Music Festival’s return. Planned for Saturday, Aug. 27, the town has a day full of music on tap, including Jim Quick & Coastline, The Tams, Too Much Sylvia and Hip Pocket. The event runs from 11am to about 7pm at the Western Ocean Regional Access near the Islander. “The town is very excited to bring back the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival, which was incredibly successful in the 1980s and 1990s and helped to put Emerald Isle on the map. We’ve got a great lineup of beach music performers for the return of this great event on Aug. 27 and we are hoping for a big crowd in Emerald Isle that weekend,� said Town Manager Frank Rush. “We’re also excited to have the festival on the beach strand itself, with the stage constructed atop the dunes, facing the ocean, with the audience on the beach. It should be a great day in Emerald Isle, and encourage everyone to enjoy it with us! It’s free to the public!� Started in 1979 by former mayor Ronnie Watson, the festival was often dubbed the largest beach music festival in the country. According to news accounts, attendance could reach up to 15,000 people each year, especially if the weather was ideal. The event was so popular that it became a stop during the annual Miss Hawaiian Tropics circuit, holding a local competition to find the perfect beach babe. The notion of bringing the festival back for an encore came from public feedback, said Rush. During an economic development survey it was suggested that the town pursue a major fall event and that it host more events on the beach strand. Those sentiments were echoed during the 2015 town elections. Town staff took that feedback, considered the success of the old Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival, and began pursuing plans. Approval of a funding request submitted to the Tourism Development Authority set the wheels in motion. The response, Rush said, from the town’s board of commissioners, business community, residents and visitors has been overwhelmingly positive. Everyone is invited to attend. Parking will be available along Hwy 58. As always, the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival is free to attend.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes Summer Days WHAT A GREAT summer it has been in Pine Knoll Shores! Many beautiful sunny days! We successfully passed a balanced budget well before the end of our fiscal year on June 30. Your commissioners always have your and your dollar’s best interest at heart. The Independence Day parade was the biggest ever … again! It is so much fun to see everyone dressed in festive red, white, and blue! Every year we need to take some time to review, or become familiar with, what we need to know that may save our lives and our property. Since major weather events don’t appear on our calendars we don’t have much time to prepare. Let’s review actions that we as a town, as an island community, and as a county must take to prepare for an emergency. First, a State of Emergency allows us to prepare for a situation and formally begins a process. This also allows us to request resources: state troopers, reimbursement, etc. from other levels of government. This step notifies the state governor and is the beginning of our escalation in preparing for the storm event and tracking of municipal expenses relating to this particular event. An Evacuation Order is always a mandatory order. This order allows us to close the bridges to “incoming” traffic – it doesn’t close to outgoing traffic. This means we are expecting conditions that are going to put your life in extreme danger and we are using this formal order to save lives. The “mandatory”

order also may allow vacationers to file for reimbursement from their travel agency if they are ordered to evacuate. Mayor Ken Jones A Curfew Order is often thought of as just a night time order – in this case it means to stay in your home or shelter around the clock until the “all clear” is given. The purpose is two-fold: We need free and clear travel for our emergency services to get to the highest priority situation with the least possible number of obstructions, and then move to the next emergency based on priority. Second, it is our intent to protect the assets of those folks that obeyed the evacuation order, or someone’s life is in danger. We have to consider the “big picture.” The purpose is not to limit anyone’s freedoms, but to allow for safety, security, and lifesaving. Once all orders are rescinded, the “all clear” is given. Now it’s time to clean up our yards and neighborhoods. Please don’t start moving yard debris, or structural debris until the town has a chance to make an assessment and decide what we will need to do with regard to picking up your debris. Structural (docks, buildings, etc.) and yard waste are never combined. We will get the word out through emails, Facebook, AM Radio 1610, loud speakers, or some other method. Please don’t jump in your pick-up truck and start hauling to the “Lot C” area. This applies to named and unnamed storms. We always hope for the best, but we need to be prepared for the worst. Have fun, but please stay tuned and be safe!

club news PKS Garden Club THE JUNE INSTALLATION luncheon is one of the most anticipated garden club programs of the year. However, many of the programs were very exciting, interesting and educational – like Janie Price teaching members how to make gardeners’ soap; Lana Hathaway’s transforming flower petals to paper by flower pounding; Tula Satterfield’s presentation of a Power Point program of the Emerald Isle installation of a Blue Star Highway garden; Ken Howell, manager of Carolina Home and Garden, giving instructions on the correct pruning of shrubs; Ken Garner’s educational tour and lecture on raising flowers in Garner’s propagation greenhouses in Newport; and a very special March program – the club’s own High Tea, done up in great elegance! At the club luncheon at the Coral Bay Club on June 8, Donna Belanger installed the new officers for 2016-2017. She presented Martha Edwards, as first vice president, with a blue lobelia representing truth and wisdom to help in her duties arranging programs and substituting for the president in her absence. Jean McDanal, second vice president, received a purple verbena also representing truth and wisdom to help in her job of town beautification and maintenance. Linda Langfeld received a red calibrachoa representing vigilance and alertness to help with being recording secretary. Karen Zaenker, corresponding secretary, received a red calibrachoa for vigilance and alertness in handling all club correspon-

dence. Susan King was presented a polka dot plant and begonia representing honesty and truthfulness to aid in her job as treasurer in charge of all club bills. Belanger will install Kay Howe as president when she returns from her family vacation in the south of France. Karen Zaenker, substituting for vacationing President Kay Howe, thanked all the garden club members that helped out with the large Kayak for Warriors program, especially with all the work entailed in the silent and live auctions at the aquarium, both with auctioned gifts and plentiful food. Arleen Graczewski informed members that the Blue Star Highway monument had been purchased, and that in September numerous workshops are scheduled to prepare for the formal dedication on Nov. 9, the day before Veterans’ Day. The event will be held at the intersection of Pine Knoll Boulevard and Salter Path Road. Lana Hathaway reported that garden club members had worked on town gardens 429.5 hours in 2015-2016, and that husbands had worked 16.5 hours – besides members picking up town trash all year long. Guests and visitors are always welcome at the meetings which are held at Pine Knoll Shores town hall at 9:30am, followed at 10 by the program of the day. The garden club will be on hiatus for the summer months, but in the meantime, members will continue to tend the town’s five gardens. The next meeting will resume on Sept. 14, and all are welcome.

rental signs Getting Away WE ARE LIVING through an interesting era in American history where flashpoint social issues make for stirring political debate but too often, this summer of 2016, has also crescendoed into gun violence. In unsettled times such as these, what is the American family to do about their travel plans? Just as was true after 9/11, I believe that what we offer on our small island off the North Carolina coast is just the solace that many are seeking for their summer or fall getaway. When we are fearful of foreign airports, or crowded venues that could be the next target for foreign or domestic terrorism, parents feel very good about driving to a quaint, lightly developed beach village like Emerald Isle and spending long sandy days with beach walks, ocean swims in our clear bottle-green water and late night porch conversations as the stars brilliantly appear in the evening sky. Famously, we Americans are reluctant to take our full measure of vacation days as we concern ourselves with getting ahead instead of getting away. For our harried, stressed and anxious travelers I know there is a magical moment when they enter their beach home for the week and, surprisingly, it is not just those stunning ocean or sound views. The psychology of truly getting away lies in leaving all the trivial, mundane debris and clutter of our lives behind.

Our job as vacation rental homeowners and managers is to provide that beautiful blank slate for them to overlay with their array of beach towels, flip flops, 1000 piece puzzles, board games and summer reading. By not being surrounded by the flotsam and jetsam of their difficult lives, we allow them breathing space to love the friends and family that have gathered with them in a lovely seaside cottage. Furnish your vacation home as serenely as possible and as is often so true in classic design, less truly is more. A few well chosen items to add to the decor is now so much more appealing than overdoing the kitschy beach art and artifacts haphazardly flung around a beach home. When the news is not peaceful then our homes and vacation homes become our sanctuary, our safe place to weather the more difficult vicissitudes of life. The hermit crab seeks an empty shell for its new home. Our instincts are to lightly inhabit, even if it is only for one blessed week, a deeply comfortable, soothingly furnished island home. By creating a quiet, calming space to welcome your rental guests, you are part of the gracious healing that our island brings to all the souls that find peace on our shores. Getting away means leaving it all behind. Julia Batten Wax Owner, Emerald Isle Realty jwax@eirealty.com

tourism BAROMETER MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE MOST TOURISTS WHO are considering or planning a trip to our beautiful Crystal Coast are initially drawn to our beaches and abundance of water activities to keep them entertained in the summer months. Although soon after breaking the surface of our coastal distinctiveness, the depth of our draw becomes undeniably richer. Our 85-mile stretch of North Carolina coastline definitely has its own magnetic intrigue, but in confluence with our unique attractions, robust history and increasingly invaluable culinary flair, the Crystal Coast is a one-stop destination for vacationers of all sizes and interests. To the same tune, when thinking to vacation on the Crystal Coast, an abundance of seafood restaurants may come to mind. We certainly don’t have a shortage of outstanding seafood dining options but we also have a hugely diverse selection of other cuisines and specialties. While fresh locally caught seafood can be hard to beat for the seafood lover, the caliber of chefs who populate this county will surely make your taste buds rise to that challenge. Carteret County is home to chefs from all over the world with varying backgrounds and accolades. In addition to a wide array of great chefs and restaurants, we also host some equally notable food, wine and beer festivals. How does this culinary prowess and variance affect our tourism? According to a recent SKIFT.com report, food

tourism is driving destination spending in a big way. More travelers are choosing their vacation destinations based on the food and libation experience it has to offer. As a tourist destination, leveraging this knowledge can be beneficial when trying to attract tourists during the shoulder seasons and wintry months. Going to a renowned restaurant for a straight up meal is one thing but harnessing our county’s history along with the experience can make for a more memorable Kodak moment. Travelers are seeking stories and experiences more than just a meal in their palate explorations. Below are a few local businesses doing just this. Promise’ Land Market, named after the historical area where it stands in downtown Morehead City, offers up the largest craft beer and wine selection in town. The market stocks a large selection of artisan cheeses, meats and Got to be NC gourmet specialties. They have 9 rotating taps and offer several wines by the glass as well as cheese plates and small tapas. Its local ambience is the perfect place to sip and shop or just catch up with your friends. www. promiselandmarket.com. Mill Whistle Brewing, Carteret County’s first, is a one barrel brewery focused on exceptional craft beers. By focusing on small batches of beer, the brewery has been able to produce more than one dozen different beers already. The brewery stands at the site of the Safrit Lumber mill in Beaufort and is named after the steam whistle that blew at the mill for 125 years. The whistle is still in place and the tradition continues every day with a 4:45pm whistle blow, 252-342-6929. Karen Gould Dir. Of Digital and Event Marketing Crystal Coast Tourism Authority

AUGUST ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 20)

LEO (Jul 23 - Aug 23)

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 23 - Dec 21)

Aries, you may feel a bit disconnected from your feelings as the month opens. It’s alright to pull back for a time and get things straight in your head. Things will soon return to the status quo. Some puzzles may take a little extra effort to solve. It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, just one that takes patience. You know how to lay on the charm to get a job done, and you might need to work your magic mid-month. Some might scoff, but the end results will be positive. Everyone recognizes your ambition. Channel your energy constructively and don’t be ashamed to pursue your goals so strongly. Once you have your mind set on something, it is hard to get you to think about anything else. This dedication can be an asset at work in the days ahead.

Things that you say or do early this month may seem like they are scripted out of a movie. Rather than putting on an act, let others know how you truly feel. Leo, an unconventional approach to a problem may see things fall into place. While others are following one path, you’ll be marching to the beat of a different drummer. The pressure to make decisions eases up by mid-month, and you can finally relax and focus on entertaining things. Take some time to strengthen an important relationship as well. Approaching someone who has not done his or her share of the work can be difficult. Tread gently because this person may have been distracted by something more pressing. Though you often enjoy being the center of attention, you will enjoy a much-needed break from the limelight in coming days. Use the time to reflect.

Sagittarius, let your emotions guide you in the month ahead. While it’s important to apply critical thinking to big decisions, this week you will benefit from an emotional approach. Drama seems to find you near the middle of the month. But you can handle whatever comes your way. Remove yourself from gossip and keep a low profile until things seem to dissipate. Recent contributions on the job are finally getting you some special attention. Your efforts paint you as a team player, and others are taking notice. Try doing something on the spur of the moment this month. Spontaneity may give you a rush that you may not have felt in some time. This could be just the excitement you need right now. Do your best to address a financial issue in the weeks ahead. It may take some time, but it’s time to start laying the groundwork for your future financial security.

VIRGO (Aug 24 - Sept 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 20)

Virgo, if you open yourself up to change, you may find that there are plenty of additional opportunities coming your way. Be receptive to new ideas. It’s time to get your head out of the clouds for a little bit. Focus on the priorities in your life, which may include family and work responsibilities. Ideas in your head are developing so quickly that you can’t pin one down. Your creativity is a feather in your cap, so make an effort to sort out your ideas. Let others know what you are thinking and you may find that even more people are receptive to your ideas than you initially thought. When a job opportunity pops up toward the end of the month, jump on it without delay. This could be the break you’re looking for, so don’t pass up the opportunity to get on board.

It can be difficult to separate work life from home life. But that’s just what you have to do in the days ahead. Otherwise, neither will get your full attention. Resist the temptation to dive in when you sense a potential conflict brewing. It may be difficult to stay out of the fray, but you will ultimately be glad you did. Capricorn, a big decision has you mulling all of the potential outcomes during the middle part of the month. Take a few breaths and some extra time to reevaluate your priorities in the next few days. Try to meet some new people. Add to your collection of networking contacts, which will help further both your professional and personal lives. A pleasant surprise has you wanting to share good news with anyone and everyone, however, it may be wise to keep things hush-hush for a while until you know all the details.

TAURUS (Apr 21 - May 21) Take constructive criticism in stride this month. Criticism can sometimes sting, but this critique is meant to assist you in the long run. Taurus, all of your efforts thus far in relation to personal challenges have been well worth the sacrifices you have made. Keep doing what you are doing. Your work ethic is recognized by superiors. Accept this well-earned praise, but keep working hard to maintain your reputation. Tackle some slow and steady work at the end of the month rather than trying to be innovative or unique. There will be a time to innovate later on. You are in good spirits as the month closes and it could be due to some good news that provides you with extra energy. Tackle some tasks at hand and then have fun.

GEMINI (May 22 - Jun 21) Gemini, early this month you are acutely aware of a strong emotional bond between yourself and someone who is off-limits. You may need to rein in your feelings and keep things friendly. You cannot control the actions of others all of the time, but you can change the way you react to certain situations. Take time to develop a response. While you may have one foot on the ground, your head seems to be up in the clouds. Make an effort to regain your focus so you can finish the tasks at hand. You are in the mood to get started on something new by the end of the month. Think about some tasks you have been putting off and develop a plan to address them. Treat yourself to a change of scenery, especially if you feel like you need recharging. Plan a getaway that allows you to unwind free of distractions.

CANCER (Jun 22 - Jul 22) Holding on to a bunch of material belongings simply because they bring you comfort may bog you down with unnecessary stuff, Cancer. Start cleaning up and lightening up. You may have to adapt when your schedule gets turned upside down. Let others see how capable you are by modifying the situation as needed. If things become too complicated, ask for clarification. Take an intellectual approach to solving a problem that has been bothering you for quite some time. Ask a friend for advice if you find you need some help. Accept help when it is offered, Cancer. Doing so will considerably cut down on your workload and put you in a better frame of mind. Someone has a proposition that’s promising.

LIBRA (Sept 23 - Oct 23) Libra, your natural ability to interact gracefully with others will serve you well in many different applications. This is especially helpful in a managerial capacity. Friends may prove a distraction this month, especially early on. It will take a lot of energy to focus on what you need to accomplish rather than getting sucked into other plans. Decisions that seemed so easy to make just a few days ago now seem like uphill battles. Don’t sell yourself short, as you can handle the challenges ahead. Things have been going your way for some time now. It’s exciting waiting for whatever is just around the corner. This unanticipated good fortune is just what you need. Do your best and things will work out for you.

SCORPIO (Oct 24 - Nov 22) This month your loved ones will chip in and take the burden off of you in some way. Make sure they know how much you appreciate them. Scorpio, adjusting to a changing situation at work will require some patience and trial and error. Keep your head down because you will grow comfortable before you know it. You have an ability to attract power and love. Make the most of this power and try to help others as much as possible. You will be glad for having done so. Open yourself up to a new way of thinking, Scorpio. While your way of doing things may be right most of the time, adopting a fresh perspective may help you see things more clearly. Sometimes the best way to help someone is to refrain from offering advice and let him or her work it out. This week you’ll be put to the test in this line of thinking.

AQUARIUS (Jan 21 - Feb 18) You may be eager to learn more about someone this month, even if this person is not in your immediate circle of friends, Aquarius. Explore the possibilities that lie ahead. You need to be more assertive at work, especially if you want to receive the acclaim you feel you deserve. Be confident in your abilities. Pay attention to the little details that can show you the potential of others this month. You may be surprised at what you find. Be sure to relax when a stressful situation presents itself. Add some humor to the situation so you and others can handle it in the most positive way possible. There’s no time like the present to perform a self-analysis in an effort to better yourself. Expect the support of family as you look to make positive changes.

PISCES (Feb 19 - Mar 20) Pisces, sticking to a firm schedule might be nearly impossible the first few days of the month. Make things a bit more fluid so you have some wiggle room. It may take some time for things to develop, but plans will start to go your way. This could be a month of big change. You are much more comfortable when surrounded by a close network of friends. Organize a get-together with your social circle. If others are uninterested in being social, find creative ways to enjoy some alone time. This may include music or artwork. Pisces, positive thinking and taking action can help you overcome difficult obstacles. Good news is coming your way.
