book bag What Do You Do With an Idea? What Do You Do With a Problem? Kobi Yamada & Mae Besom THESE TWO CHILDRENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S books are my new favorites. They are clever and uplifting, inspiring as well. I can imagine parents sharing them with children and the discussions being thought provoking. Kobi Yamada, the author, works full-time in the creative ideas business, and Mae Besom, the artist, is a full-time childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s illustrator. Together they have given the world these two gifts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Do You Do With an Idea?â&#x20AC;? was published in 2013. It is a story for anyone who thinks and creates, who comes up with good ideas and wants to see them become reality. It is a book which deals with the frustration of having your ideas not appreciated by others. The little boy begins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;One day, I had an idea.â&#x20AC;? At first he walks away from it but the idea persists, follows him. He tries to keep it to himself, but like many bold ideas it wants to be known to others. The ending is a delight. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Do You Do With a Problem?â&#x20AC;? was published this year. It is a story for people who face problems they do not want to have or want to deal with, a universal issue. The little boy begins, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how it happened, but one day I had a problem.â&#x20AC;? He tries to make it go away and ignore it, but to no avail. He worries and the more he worries the bigger his problem becomes. He tries to avoid it but like most problems it keeps after him. He decides to face it, tackle it. The ending is a delight. Kobi Yamada knows his psychology and also knows how to write to reach children. Adults will also find his way of expressing hopes and fears to be encouraging. The prose is simple and flows easily. Early readers can manage it, and parents will enjoy reading it aloud to younger listeners. Mae Besomâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artwork is interesting and unusual. The idea is a cute little egg with a crown. The problem is a little dark cloud. The scenes are village-like, the little boys dressed in middle-ages garb with Asian influences. The depictions are so dramatic they will be loved by young readers and whet their imaginations. These two books are sure to be treasured for many years, the kind of books passed down through generations. If you have ever thought of something you feel needs to be shared or if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever faced something you feel needs to be overcome then these two works will likely be valuable additions to your personal library.

chamber connection Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Building a Legislative Agenda EVERY YEAR, THE Carteret County Chamber of Commerce puts together a Legislative Agenda that it shares with lawmakers, both state and federal. The agenda is put together by the Chamber Legislative Committee, the Chamber Board and chamber members. Before the next North Carolina General Assembly session begins, the chamber will review its agenda and amend it if necessary and share it with our legislative representatives. This year, on Sept. 6, members of the NC East Alliance Chambers met here in Carteret County with our state lawmakers to find out what they believe the hot-button issues will be for the next session. This will give the alliance some idea on how they should craft their legislative agenda. The Alliance Chamber members are from: Carteret County, Greene County, Grenville-Pitt, Jacksonville, Kenansville-Duplin County, Kinston- Lenoir County, New Bern, Pamlico, Wayne County, Washington Beaufort County and Wilson. It also gives some insight to what the Carteret Chamber of Commerce might add to our own agenda. Currently, our top priority legislative concerns are: • Transportation Funding • US 70 Corridor improvements • Maintain uniform school calendar - “Save Our Summers” • Eliminate North Carolina Economic Development Tiers

• • • •

Support for military operations Support for insurance reforms/fair rate structure Support for NC Community Colleges Adequate funding for pre-K through grade 12 public education. Additional items of continued interest and importance to our members are: opposing seismic blasting and offshore oil & gas, maintain/increase tourism funding, state economic resources, maintaining current distribution formula for sales tax, opposing increase in state tax, health care concerns, dedicated funding source for Morehead City Harbor dredging, dedicated funding source for beach nourishment, shallowdraft waterway dredging fund. Also: Support for North Carolina’s Ports, science-based sea level rise guidelines, flood insurance rate maps and support for North Carolina’s ferry division. The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce has nearly 900 members, giving our organization a powerful voice. When you combine it with the voices of ten additional chambers, the song being sung is a loud one. That’s why the Alliance is looking for lawmakers’ input. And here in Carteret County, we seek your input on what you think we should be concerned with. If you have any thoughts, please share them with me at tom@nccoastchamber.com.

Cancer Risk Factors You Can Control CANCER IS A formidable foe and one that the World Health Organization says is responsible for the deaths of six million people each year. But as deadly an adversary as cancer can be, millions of cases of cancer could be prevented. According to the WHO, at least one-third of all cancer cases are preventable. Prevention begins with understanding the risk factors for cancer and what you can do to lower your risk of developing this often deadly disease. Some risk factors for cancer, including family history and gender, are beyond an individual’s control. But the following are risk factors that, when avoided, can dramatically reduce a person’s risk of developing cancer. Tobacco ■ The WHO notes that tobacco causes an estimated 22 percent of cancer deaths each year. That translates to more than 1.3 million tobacco-related cancer deaths each year. While smokers may be most likely to develop lung cancer as a result of their tobacco use, smoking tobacco also increases a person’s risk of cancers of the esophagus, larynx, mouth, throat, kidney, bladder, pancreas, stomach, and cervix. Smokeless tobacco also increases a person’s risk of oral cancer and cancers of the esophagus and pancreas. Avoiding tobacco entirely greatly reduces a person’s risk of cancer, but even those who already smoke can significantly reduce their risk by quitting immediately. Bad diet ■ Several factors may cause a person to be overweight or obese, but many people who are struggling with obesity are doing so because of poor diets. An elevated risk of heart disease may be the first thing people associate with being overweight or

obese, but such people are also more vulnerable to cancer than people who are in shape. The WHO notes there is a link between being overweight or obese and certain cancers, including breast and colorectal cancer. Excess consumption of red and preserved meat may increase a person’s risk of colorectal cancer, while a diet high in fruits and vegetables may have the opposite effect, potentially protecting the body against various cancers. Physical inactivity ■ Though poor diet may be the primary contributing factor to being overweight or obese, a lifestyle that does not include routine physical activity also increases a person’s risk for various cancers. The National Cancer Institute notes that studies conducted around the globe have consistently found that adults who increase their physical activity, either in duration, frequency or intensity, can reduce their risk of developing colon cancer by as much as 40 percent compared to those who live physically inactive lifestyles. The NCI also notes that studies have shown that physically active women have a lower risk of developing breast cancer than women who are inactive. Alcohol ■ According to the WHO, a person’s risk of developing cancer increases with the amount of alcohol that person consumes. While some studies have connected moderate consumption of alcohol with a lower risk of certain ailments, alcohol consumption remains a risk factor for certain cancers, including cancers of the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, liver, and breast. More information about cancer and the risk factors associated with cancer is available at www.who.int/cancer.

Chief Waters Retires Oct. 31 AT THE END of October, Chief Jeff Waters will retire from the Emerald Isle Police Dept. after 32 years of service. We had the pleasure of posing a few questions to the outgoing chief on the eve of his transition. As a community, we thank Chief Waters for his years of dedication and service to area residents. Q. With the influx of visitors each year, policing in a tourist-driven community must have its own set of challenges. Are there police issues that are isolated or more prominent in beach communities? A. As most of the beach communities will tell you, it is during the summer season that traffic is much heavier. The population of EI increases from 3,700 full time residents to approximately 55,000 in the summer. This causes the drivers’ lack of patience to become more intensified, thus leading to behaviors resulting in higher incidents of road rage. The increase of population also affects other areas of safety, involving more water rescues, higher alcohol related incidents and domestic issues. Q. You’ve served Emerald Isle in a law enforcement capacity since 1984 – what are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen during your career? A. For the past 32 years, I have seen a lot of changes within the town and the department as well. Since my career began, the population has more than doubled for residency, as well as tourism. With an increase of people, comes an increase of crime. Laws and policies regarding law enforcement have changed dramatically during my tenure as a police officer, as well. Social media and technology have played a larger role today, now more than ever. Q. What are you most proud of during your career – those stand out moments? A. I’m extremely proud to have worked in the same community for 32 years, working my way up through the ranks from a part time officer to chief of police. Having the opportunity to help those in need; whether giving a ride to someone, changing a flat tire, checking a residence, to praying with a family who just lost a loved one due to drowning. There have been many stand-out moments during my career, and all of them have left an impression upon my life. Q. There are some amazing statistics associated with the new Neighborhood Watch program – burglaries are down 40%, property damage has decreased by 22%, crimes against persons has decreased 25% and overall, crime in Emerald Isle is down 37%. How happy are you with these figures? A. I am so excited to know that implementing the Neighborhood Watch Program has made such an impact with the crime trends. When people take ownership of their communities and say something when they see something, it can

truly make a difference. Several cases have been solved just because someone saw something suspicious and called 911. Folks here in Emerald Isle care about their community and are proud for what they have here. If every town or city became united with their Police Department to tear barriers down and build trust up, you would see an impact on crime as a whole. Q. Other programs have been added in recent years, such as the PEP program and Coffee with a Cop. Tell us a little bit about those and how well you think these programs help link law enforcement with the public? A. When I became chief of police, I had a vision of bringing together the citizens and the law enforcement community. To do so, I knew there had to be programs implemented to bring them both together. Since inception of these programs, we have a seen an increase of trust, respect, and better communication between the police dept and citizens of Emerald Isle. These programs consisted of: • Neighborhood Watch • PEP Program “Police Educating the Public” (monthly presentations presented by the officers to educate the public on various topics) • Coffee with a Cop • “Are You OK” Program (citizens choosing to be placed on a calling list where they are called at a designated date and time to make sure they are OK) • Ice Cream Ticket Program (rewarding kids wearing safety equipment when riding their bicycles) • Internet Safety Exchange Parking Space (designated area at the PD for internet purchase exchanges, placing citizens in a monitored environment) • Citizens Police Academy Program (4 to 6 week program that gives opportunity for citizens to experience the job of a police officer) I have also created a community resource officer position where the officer will be dealing directly with the community and overseeing designated programs. Q. When is your last full day on the job? And are there any community events scheduled to send you off? A. My last day will be October 31, 2016. I have not been informed at this time of any send off. Q. What do you think you will miss the most about serving as police chief? A. I will miss my department, which has been great to work with. Without them I would not have been successful as a chief here in Emerald Isle. I thank them all for their support and dedication. I will miss the town, the people and the camaraderie that has been built through great officers and great friends throughout the town. I will truly miss it all. Q. You’re a native of the western end of the county; do you plan to stay in the area? A. How can you leave such a great place? Q. After 32 years of police work, we’re sure you’re ready for some rest and relaxation. Any big plans for retirement? A. Not as of right now, I am going to take a little break and see what the future holds for me. I look forward to spending more time with my family.

EMERALD ISLE

mayor’s notes OCTOBER IS A great month in Emerald Isle. The days are great for long walks on the beach and the nights are just fantastic. October is one of my favorite months on our Island. I enjoy so much walking on the beach in October. It is so refreshing and the water is still warm. We have several events in October, including the 14th annual Gordie McAdams Speckled Trout Surf Fishing Tournament. The dates this year are Sunday, Oct.15 through Sunday, Nov. 26. Free registration runs thru Oct. 13 and there will be excellent prizes. All trout must be caught by fishing on foot (surf, pier, inlet or sound) from Fort Macon to Emerald Isle. Each year the event is sponsored by Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation Dept. and The Reel Outdoors. Contact Shelia Lowe at slowe@emeraldisle-nc.org or call 252-354-6350 for more information. One of the best events of the year for children is the annual Halloween Carnival, and it’s always highly popular with the children. The carnival will be held on Friday, Oct. 28 and runs from 6 to 8pm at the Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation Community Center. This will be a fun for the entire family event.

EMERALD Isle case will be reviewed by the NC Supreme Court later this year, and the outcome will impact everyone who enjoys the beach in North Carolina in the future. Recent comments by the Nies and their attorney have attempted to downplay the significance of this case by suggesting that it only pertains to the Nies’ lot as they attempt to divert attention from the broader public beach use questions under review. Rather than debate the Nies and their attorney in the media about the significance of the Nies v. Emerald Isle case, the town invites you to read for yourself the NC Court of Appeals decision. The ruling is crystal clear that the public has the right to use the entire width of the beach, from the base of the dunes to the water, as has been the practice everywhere in North Carolina – forever. It is this decision that the Nies and their attorney are appealing to the North Carolina Supreme Court. This unanimous ruling can be viewed at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/nies. The Town of Emerald Isle, with great support from numerous other State and local officials, business groups, environmental groups, and public access advocates, continues its fight to preserve the public’s right to use the entire width of the beach in North Carolina. Again, ask yourself why all of these groups would be involved in this case if it was only about the Nies’ lot and only about Emerald Isle?

New Beach Walkway Constructed at The Point Vehicle Ramp The town’s contractor is currently constructing a new beach walkway over the dunes adjacent to the existing vehicle ramp at The Point. The town’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee identified this project as a top priority, and the board of commissioners included funding in the FY 16-17 budget for this improvement. The new walkway, with a seating area atop the dune, will be complete by September 15, and is funded solely by fundraising proceeds.

shorelines State of the Beach 2016 IN LATE AUGUST In late August, the engineering firm of Moffatt & Nichol provided the Carteret County Beach Commission a presentation highlighting the results of a comprehensive beach survey conducted along Bogue Banks. The survey, or “monitoring event” was completed during the March to May 2015 timeframe and included our neighboring islands to the east and west of Bogue Banks as well – Shackleford Banks and Bear Island, respectively. So what exactly constitutes a beach survey? We can trace the origins our program to 1999 when 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 that will be discussed in more detail below – (1) the volume of sand residing in the beach system,

and (2) shoreline movement. The monitoring program has grown since its formative years and now includes 122 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 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 beachfills 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.”

with respect to our overall beach management philosophy and to track volume change throughout time. During the 2015-16 survey period Bogue Banks did not experience any particularly notable “debits” in the form of tropical cyclones (hurricanes/tropical storms), nor winter storms. And likewise no large “credits” were realized in the past year either, with the exception of roughly 150,000 cy of sand that was placed near the Fort Macon Bathhouse Regional Access area as part of Marinex Construction’s December 2015 retrieval operation of a buried pipe located in the Morehead City Harbor Navigation Channel. The “volumetric approach” has been a primary tenet of our beach monitoring program, and the 128,393 linear feet of oceanfront along Bogue Banks (profiles 1-112, Fig. 1) lost -324,867 cy of Fig. 2 – Characteristic Bogue Banks profile in cross-section depicting the key “landmarks” monitored for changes sand in 2015-16, equating to an average loss of in sand volume. Although changes are recorded above each of the landmarks depicted in the figure, the orange-2.5 cy per linear foot (cy/ft). 2015-2016 therefore colored fillet represents the positive or negative changes occurring at the elevation above “-12 ft. NAVD88”, and is could be considered as a “typical” year – our utilized as a common reporting baseline. long-term, 17-year (1999-2016) annual erosion rate is -2.7 cy/ft, again averaged across Bogue Banks examining the beach in cross section from the outer bar landward past the recreational beach area and up into the frontal dune. Interestingly however; the average shoreline position nudged slightly seaward (in the positive direction) by +3 feet in 2016. By now you might be questioning why and how did the island lose sand last year but the shoreline crept seaward. We have to view the beach in cross-section and realize we normally reference the compartment encompassing volume changes above -12 ft. NAVD88 to help make the data more manageable/understandable and to consistently measure change over time. Although we extend our surveys much deeper, the zone above –12 ft. NAVD88 can be considered as the main “shock absorber” for storms and undergoes the most change from year to year (Fig. 2). For 2015-16, sand moved from the zone in between the “Wading Depth” and “Outer Bar” to just past (deeper) the -12 ft. NAVD88 benchmark. Some sand from this same zone (between “WadFig. 3 – Average profile volumes for September 1999 (baseline year), 2016 (the most recent survey), and 2015 (the ing Depth” and the “Outer Bar”) also moved up immediately prior survey) for seven oceanfront management reaches along Bogue Banks.

And lastly continuing on the concept of â&#x20AC;&#x153;cubic yards per linear footâ&#x20AC;? (cy/ft), the volume of sand residing along the entire island is significantly higher than our self-termed yardstick year of 1999, and is attributable to the many beach nourishment projects that have been constructed since 2001 (Fig. 3). All the island management reaches are also well in excess of our Master Plan â&#x20AC;&#x153;volumetric thresholdsâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or perhaps better conceptualized as beach nourishment triggers. Our Master Plan management reaches as depicted in Figure 1 were de-

veloped by; (A) evaluating dune/berm shape and height to group similar profiles into discrete reaches, and then (B) we subsequently utilized a 25-year storm event to model the volumetric needs in each of the new management reaches. Our 2016 management reach values in terms of average cy/ft and our minimum volumetric thresholds (i.e., nourishment triggers) are presented graphically in Fig. 3 as well.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an uphill tough job for The Star Team. There were almost insurmountable obstacles for the team. They held fast and finally finished a tough job.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate the team approach that you utilize. Whenever I had a question, concern or need, someone was always available to assist me and all team members were well informed about my transaction. Thank you.â&#x20AC;? Jesse Parks Goldsboro, NC â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could not be more pleased with the performance and results of working with The Star Team. In a relative flat real estate climate, they sold our sound front property within $1,000.00 of our desired price at a time when very few similar properties were selling. All through the process they stayed in constant touch regarding good news, difficult news or no news. This was an experience we had not experienced in the past. We feel the reason they were so successful was because they ignored the prevailing market and continued to pro-actively work using all available resources to market and sell our property. We would highly recommend The Star Team whether selling or looking for real estate in Carteret County.â&#x20AC;?

Chaperone Author Mike Collins of Oregon wrote this poem in honor of two of his friends who happen to be loyal volunteers of the Emerald Isle Sea Turtle Protection Program.

Turtle mamas donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do nurture. Oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll scoop a hole and perch her Bottom on the edge and squirt Her babies in. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hurt Because their eggs are squishy and Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re falling into softish sand, But Mama wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know because She up and splits, is what she does. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll plop a hundred eggs or so And then, with no goodbye, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll go. The babies lie there in a pit With just some sand thrown over it While Mama hauls her lazy carcass Back to sea, so we, we park us In a seat beside the pit And chaperone all over it: You gulls and varmints, move along! Think supperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s under here? Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wrong! For days and days weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll bravely toil In our beach chairs till the â&#x20AC;&#x153;boil,â&#x20AC;? Which is when the turtlets hatch And up from underground they scratch And claw their teeny, greeny way Into our hungry world. Yay! That ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just chaperones youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hearing: Gulls and varmints, too, are cheering. Turtle pups is easy pickinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s! (Tasty, too, like tiny chickens.) Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how come youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll hear us cry, Chaperones, assemble! Why, Without our help, those loggerheads Might perish inches from their beds And never know the salty joys Of also ditching girls and boys Someday upon that very beach! (Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something mama turtles teach Their babies by example: When Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not there, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still there. How Zen.) Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll live to leave their kids alone Because weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here to chaperone.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notes Embracing Fall THE END OF the peak summer season is a bittersweet time at the beach. As the calendar flips into fall, many of our visitors head home for the school year. Our town, that has been very busy for the past 3 or 4 months, starts to get a bit quieter. Like many of the other businesses owners in Atlantic Beach, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to see the crowds thin. But, I have to admit that I do enjoy coming home to cool evening breezes. The early fall is a spectacular time in Atlantic Beach. The water is still warm. The air isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too hot. The fishing picks up and the surfing does too. The sunsets seem to get even more beautiful. It is a time when locals â&#x20AC;&#x201C; many of whom work in tourism related fields â&#x20AC;&#x201C; have more time to get out and about. Similarly, second home owners can settle into a more local-like experience of unhurried days and quiet evenings on the deck (itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier to relax when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to entertain guests at your beach house). This is the time of year when you recognize most people you pass on the beach or in a store. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the time when the lines arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t long and you have time to chat with Charles at Sub Topics or Sandy and Dave at Amos Mosquitos. This summer was a hot one. It was, at times, so hot and humid that my preferred method of transportation on the beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my trusty beach cruiser â&#x20AC;&#x201C; did not get as much use

Mayor Trace Cooper as it should. Seeing a sweaty guy pedal down the street does not strike me as very Mayoral, so I drove. But, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dusted it off now and am trying to spend as much time on two wheels as I do on four. The days and evenings of our Indian Summer are made for cruising around on a bike. Luckily for our business community, the word is getting out that September and October are great times to visit the Crystal Coast and we are attracting more visitors who are looking for a very laid-back stay at the beach. These visitors donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take away from the best parts of the fall, rather they embrace it while providing a needed boost for businesses. As I often say, our business community is a critical part of the fabric of Atlantic Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and businesses and we need to continue to maintain that balance. The evenings are my favorite part of the day this time of year. For a little while you can see the sun setting and the moon rising at the same time. It as if the sky is letting us know that we are at that perfect point when the hot days of summer are setting behind us and the crisp days of November are just starting to show up on the horizon. The sun setting in the west while the moon rises in the east is a sign that we are getting the best of both seasons. It is a sign that things are just right this time of year.

FLYING HIGH KITE FEST COLORS THE SKIES WHILE THE FALL finds many area visitors catching a line to catch a big one, others are using their lines in hopes of catching a little breeze. Carolina Kite Fest returns to the Sands Villa Resort on East Fort Macon Road, Atlantic Beach, from 10am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 29-30. The free family-friendly event is organized annually by Don Dixon, owner of Kites Unlimited, as a thank you to his patrons and the community. “This is the 29th year and it is very much a kite flyer event,” said Dixon. “We get good participation and of course a lot of people who come out just to watch. But this is for the people, like a big play date for everybody, so we want to see as many people as possible get involved.” The child in everyone, no matter their age, can’t help but squeal with joy at the sight of a mass ascension of kites. These aren’t your parent’s kites, mind you, not the barebones diamonds that we know from our youth. Kites today come in all shapes, sizes and colors. From massive octopi to a football-field length thin strip of flags from around the globe. In this celebration of visiting professional kite flyers, locals and novices, it’s not uncommon for huge lizards, cartoon characters and unimaginable spinning displays of color to cast shadows on the sandy beach below. As always, there are no fees associated with the event and no vendors will be on-site. This does mean that folks should plan on bringing a picnic lunch or visiting the restaurant at nearby Sands Villa, said Dixon, who is dedicated to providing a relaxed, stress-free event the whole family can enjoy. Bring a blanket, pack a lunch, and lay back on the beach to take in the sights. Activities for children run throughout the day as volunteers are available. Kite building and the occasional candy drop are always a favorite with the youngsters. The after-dark night fly on Saturday, Oct. 29, is also sure to get the kids excited. Lights are used to spotlight the mass kite fly event, much to the delight of onlookers. “A lot of what we do is very dependent upon the wind and the weather,” said Dixon. “The festival ends at 4, but begins again once it gets dark. It really lasts as long as the wind allows. But we always have a good time.” Throughout the two-day event, several special guests will perform, including the large format kites and stunt kite flyers. People will also find kite lessons on-site, just in case you’re ready to pick up the string for the first time. Dixon stressed that volunteers are always needed, whether it’s manning the booth where youngsters can build their own kite from scratch, or it’s holding onto a string. Some of the kites, he added, can take up to 40 people to fly. If interested in volunteering, or for additional information, call Kites Unlimited at 252-247-7011 or visit kites-birdstuff. com. Can’t make it for this event? Kites Unlimited also hosts a New Year’s Day kit fly each year.

ISLAND REVIEW 5

garden gate Grow Pumpkins at Home YEAR AFTER YEAR, families make the trek to farm stands and nurseries in rural areas to purchase pumpkins. There among the vines and soil, each person is on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin to turn into pie or to carve into a gap-toothed jack-o’lantern. But what if you only had to venture as far as your backyard for the ideal autumn pumpkin? It’s possible when you plan ahead and sow the seeds of your very own pumpkin patch. Pumpkins are a long-season fruit that requires some advanced soil prep work and planning to ensure a bountiful crop. Pumpkins come in hundreds of varieties of all shapes and sizes. Pumpkins belong to the “cucurbita” family and come in three main categories. Cucurbita Moschata pumpkins belong to a group of mainly squashes that are usually used commercially for canned pumpkins. Cucurbita Pepo pumpkins are the ones typically carved on Halloween. Cucurbita Maxima are the giant pumpkins that show up at state fairs and other vegetable and fruit growing contests. To begin a pumpkin patch, find an area of the yard that gets full sunlight. The soil should have a slightly acidic soil from 6.0 to 6.8 pH. Pumpkins prefer a light, rich soil that drains well. Till the soil and amend it with compost to ensure it is rich in nutrients. Pumpkins can be started indoors from seeds during the early spring. However, if you plan to put seedlings into the ground, be sure to do so when the first frost is over and the soil is 60 F.

October 2016

The temperature during the day should average 70 F. Be sure to space pumpkins far apart from one another and dig them in deep. Leave at least a few feet of space because vines can grow quite long and pumpkins can get large. Pumpkins are mostly water and need a lot to grow, so test the soil’s moisture levels every day. Only add water when it is needed. Deep but infrequent watering results in healthier plants. Keep water off of the leaves, and water the pumpkins in the morning instead of late in the evening. This can prevent the onset of fungal diseases. It is also advisable to plant sunflowers next to pumpkins to attract the pests that may normally thrive on the pumpkins. Beetles, aphids and squash bugs are common and can damage the crop. When the shell of the pumpkin has hardened and is no longer easily dented, it is usually ready for harvesting. The vine also may begin to thin and whither. If a pumpkin is large but not quite ready, place boards under the pumpkin to keep it from rotting on the ground. Cut stems on the long side, and never carry around the pumpkin by the stem. It can break and cause the pumpkin to rot prematurely. Reduce watering a week to 10 days before harvesting, which will help them keep longer. While visiting pumpkin farms is an enjoyable autumn activity, homeowners can plant their own pumpkins and enjoy their harvests right from the comforts of their backyards.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes The Need for Ordinances WHAT IS AN “ordinance” and what are they to me? Ordinances are pieces of legislation enacted by a municipal authority. Our town ordinances reflect the image and character we all want as a town. An ordinance by definition is a law passed by a municipal government. There are a lot of ordinances in Pine Knoll Shores and I thought I might remind you of a few common ones. We have ordinances about putting out your trash and recycle containers, there are ordinances on yard waste or debris pick up. There is also an ordinance that says you can’t dump your yard waste on property that isn’t yours. Why do we have these “laws” and who enforces them with what authority? Our ordinances are long standing and generally have the same intention across the board: fair and equal treatment, and what is best for the community at large – for the most part what is in the best interest of the people of our town. Rules on when to put out trash are for the appeal, or look of the town, and for the control of rodents. Certainly you have driven through neighborhoods where some trash containers are overfull and have been there for weeks. The people of Pine Knoll Shores enjoy a reputation of a pleasant looking environmental and a good clean orderly appeal. The ordinance on trash says your trash, or trash can, cannot be out by the road before 7pm the night before the trash is to be picked up. Some

of this comes from being a Tree City USA and Mayor Ken Jones citizens that prefer a clean looking community, and no doubt some of it comes from people that want to maintain their property value and not have their home value depreciate because of the ugliness of trash and brush piles. If you don’t have any idea about an ordinance, call town hall. Most everything I’ve mentioned might well fall under the heading of common sense in a nice residential community, but different communities do have different expectations. Homeowners’ Associations play a big part in this also. Many have rules you have to abide by or they will notify you to change the situation, or they could fine you and eventually put a lien on your property. HOA rules cannot be less restrictive than town ordinances, but can be MORE restrictive. Be a good neighbor is the bottom line here. Yard signs in our town have always been an issue, and one I hear about often. Unless they are forbidden by your HOA rules, they cannot be in the state or town right-of-way, so they have to be on your property and parallel to the street; not perpendicular. The take away here is that all of these ordinances, laws, behavior, is for the benefit and greater good of our whole town. Please help keep PKS safe and beautiful for everyone, and celebrate and enjoy the beauty of this fall season!

CELEBRATING FALL WITH LOCAL FESTIVALS

THE CRISP OCTOBER air is perfect for drawing out those folks who try their best to avoid the heat of the summer sun. Smaller crowds, less lines and comfortable temperatures are the earmarks of fall in Eastern Carolina. That is, of course, unless you’re talking about the second weekend in October – that’s festival time in this part of the woods. If we’re counting right, the historic streets of beautiful downtown Swansboro will fill to the brim for the 62nd time on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8-9. The festival, which pays homage to the popular bait fish (not the hairstyle) 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. Thinks kick off Saturday morning with a parade on Hwy 24, leading the way to downtown Swansboro where visitors will find an array of arts and crafts vendors, live entertainment and inflatable rides for the youngsters. More than 100 vendors participate in this popular festival, bringing everything from baked goods and local wine to pottery and photography. While guests browse the items for sale, or enjoy some fried mullet, live music runs throughout the day. To learn more about the Mullet Festival, visit www.swansborofestivals.com. The same weekend, more than 60,000 people will make the trek to downtown New Bern for the annual MumFest, filling the streets with free entertainment, everyone’s favorite foods and great opportunities to get a jumpstart on holiday shopping. With two full days of fun, 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. Scheduled performers include the Xpogo Stunt Team, Purina Incredible Dog Team, juggler Alex Clark, storyteller Steve Myott, basketball handler The Spin Man and much more. Be sure to swing by Tryon Palace, which holds a native plant sale both days. MumFest kicks off with a concert by country music artist Eric Paslay on Friday, Oct. 7 on the South Lawn at Tryon Palace. The musician will be joined by Emily Minor and Jordan Davis. Tickets are $16 in advance and $21 at the door. A limited number of VIP tickets and pit passes are also available for an additional cost. Tickets can be purchased at www.eventbrite.mumfest.com as well as Mitchell Hardware, Beer Army Burger Co. and Fuller’s Music, all of New Bern. To learn more about MumFest, visit mumfest.com.

rental signs CLASSIC CAROLINA COTTAGES WITH THE ADVENT of my sixth decade, I have come to appreciate more than ever the true bittersweet meaning of autumn. All who know and love our island best agree that this is the most stunningly beautiful time of all. For this beach gal, I am always sad to see Labor Day arrive and know my ocean swims and bare armed walks on the beach will soon be over. The summer long excitement of giggling children coming into our office hand in hand with their parents to get keys to their beach cottage gives way to the quieter check in days of fall, the saltwater fishermen who love their simple cottage on the oceanfront, but whose eyes sparkle and dance like 10 year olds when they share their story of hooking up, not one, not two, but three fighting bluefish – all over 5 pounds each. My mother and father taught me to love our rich North Carolina history and which home in Beaufort once housed my Quaker, sea captain ancestor. I, who once loved only contemporary design and said no thank you to antique furniture, now treasure the family pieces I have inherited. Bogue Banks has its own dynamic history with early Banks families who made their living from commercial fishing for shrimp, crabs and clams and settled in communities like Salter Path and Bell Cove. One fine summer day this year I was privileged to take a drive through Emerald Isle with a writer for Our State magazine, Adam Lucas and Paxon McLean Holz, whose father Bill McLean, in the early 1950s was the visionary who realized that Emerald Isle would become the gem of the Crystal Coast long before Carteret County had such a high falutin’ marketing name. It is lyrical to hear Paxon’s lilting eastern North Carolina voice tell the dear old stories of the earliest days of Emerald Isle. My family dates our time here from 1962 when my Aunt Mildred began accepting keys to cottages from friends in Winston Salem who also loved saltwater fishing and had purchased small homes by the sea, many built by Bill McLean in his efforts to settle this wild and desolate stretch of Bogue Banks before we even had roads that wouldn’t melt during hot summer days. 62 ISLAND REVIEW

October 2016

Our family business, Emerald Isle Realty, in 2017 will celebrate 55 years of welcoming our rental families and our homeowners, most who have become dear friends. To honor the spirit of our early Emerald Isle pioneers and especially Bill and Ruth McLean, Grace Marie Elliott, and my folks, Mildred, Jim and Mary Batten, we are celebrating the launch of our carefully curated collection of early beach homes we are calling Classic Carolina Cottages. Emerald Isle does not have a historic plaque designation for these homes – yet – but we know to preserve them in all their authenticity will be important for generations of beach lovers to come. Homes like Sea and Sound, The Little Emerald and Batten the Breeze that have welcomed salty, sandy families since 1957, will now have their own special category and continue to have a special place in our hearts. I love them for their knotty pine walls and the simple but sturdy architecture that demonstrates their timeless qualities as the quintessential beach cottage. Built for an era that knew no air conditioning, these vintage beauties get a grand sea breeze when all the windows are thrown open. Like a favorite elderly relative, these homes have been lovingly maintained and gently renovated so that their kitchens and bathrooms are updated, but all the character remains. For those of you who inherited or own one of these older beach homes, I hope you treasure it for its quaintness and that it reminds you of those simple beach vacations you enjoyed as a child. We know we have lost many of our older beauties already to the urge to tear down and rebuild. For many of our rental families though, we know that these sweetly proportioned older homes are also the sweet spot for these smaller families in the summer and those elderly fishermen in the fall. The sweet days of autumn and those achingly blue October skies are coming – our Classic Carolina Cottages will hold the scent of frying bluefish soon.

tourism BAROMETER 2015 Visitor Impact for Carteret County NORTH CAROLINA IS a highly desired travel destination and it shows! A recent study performed by the Research Department of the US Travel Association, based on highly detailed North Carolina data, provides preliminary 2015 estimates of domestic traveler expenditures in the state. Early last month Visit North Carolina announced that domestic visitors to and within Carteret County spent $336.96 million in 2015, an increase of 3.8 percent from 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This report clearly outlines the significance of the economic impact the tourism industry has in Carteret County. Without tourism each family member would be paying more in taxes for services that are now supported by the tourism industry. Tourism helps give the Crystal Coast the quality of life we all enjoyâ&#x20AC;? said Carol Lohr, executive director of the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority. Tourism impact highlights for 2015: â&#x20AC;˘ The travel and tourism industry directly employs more than 3.33 thousand in Carteret County. â&#x20AC;˘ Total payroll generated by the tourism industry in Carteret County was $61.75 million. â&#x20AC;˘ State tax revenue generated in Carteret County totaled $15.22 million through state sales and excise taxes, and taxes on personal and corporate income. About $19.71 million in local taxes were generated from sales and property tax revenue from travelgenerated and travel-supported businesses.

It was another great year for North Carolina. Gov. Pat McCrory announced in May that visitors to North Carolina set a record for spending in 2015. The $21.96 billion in total spending represented an increase of 3 percent from 2014. These statistics are from the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic Impact of Travel on North Carolina Counties 2015,â&#x20AC;? which can be accessed at partners.visitnc. com/economic-impact-studies. The study was prepared for Visit North Carolina by the US Travel Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All eight economic development regions of the state had spending growth of 2 percent or more, and 91 percent of the stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s counties saw direct tourism employment growth from 2014 to 2015,â&#x20AC;? said Wit Tuttell, executive director of Visit North Carolina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tourism continues to be major driver of economic development across North Carolina, which is the sixth most-visited state in the country.â&#x20AC;? Statewide highlights include: â&#x20AC;˘ State tax receipts as a result of visitor spending rose 6.1 percent to top $1.1 billion in 2015 and local tax revenues totaled more than $660 million. â&#x20AC;˘ Visitors spend more than $60 million per day in North Carolina. That spending adds nearly $4.9 million per day to state and local tax revenues (about $3.1 million in state taxes and $1.8 million in local taxes). â&#x20AC;˘ The travel and tourism industry directly employees more than 211,000 North Carolinians. Visitor expenditures directly generated more than $5.2 billion in payroll income within North Carolina in 2015. â&#x20AC;˘ Each North Carolina household saves $475 in state and local taxes as a direct result of visitor spending in the state. Overall, 91 counties saw increases in visitor spending from 2014 to 2015. Forty-one percent of North Carolina counties had more than $100 million in visitor spending in 2015. Karen Gould Dir.

OCTOBER ARIES (March 21-April 20) Aries, certain feelings may not be easy to convey, but try to find the words this week. It’s important to let your feelings be known, and others are waiting on you to speak up. It may be time to be on the lookout for fresh financial opportunities. Set new goals for yourself, and put your finances at the top of your priority list this fall. Resist the urge to procrastinate this month. You will soon learn that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. While a certain task may seem daunting right now, you won’t allow it to intimidate you. TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Expect coworkers to respond favorably to a proposal you worked hard on. Allow this professional momentum to pay dividends outside of the office as well. Don’t bother attracting people through false advertising. Instead, be authentic and you will find you garner much more attention and adoration. Do your best to keep handling some pressure in your professional life, Taurus. You may be in for a few more days of scrutiny, but your performance will be appreciated. Others are paying attention to you even if they seem distracted. Embrace the scrutiny and do your best to reciprocate any special attention coming your way. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Gemini, mixed signals lead to a bit of confusion. It’s nothing you can’t handle if you backtrack and remedy the original situation, just provide yourself ample time to set things right. The universe is trying to send you cues mid-month. But you will only receive these cues if you keep your eyes and ears open. Things may not be what they seem. If you find yourself working with a group, understand that everyone is in it together and that there is no reason to try to trump another person’s victory. Make an effort to be there for a loved one at the end of the month. You have a unique ability to listen and support others, and your loved one will not take your efforts for granted. CANCER (June 22-July 22) Be extra sensitive to the plights or concerns of others as the month opens. Some around you could benefit from some empathy and understanding. Cancer, if you want others to open up, you have to start the conversation by sharing something from your heart as well. Make an effort to be more open in the days ahead. There is work ahead. Expect an important professional project to come your way. While you might be able to handle it solo, don’t hesitate to call in reinforcements. If your energy and attention span is a bit scattered toward the end of the month, take steps to ensure all of your responsibilities are taken care of. A respite is on the horizon. 66 ISLAND REVIEW

October 2016

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, now might be a great time to take a step back and enjoy a little breathing room. Look at things from a different perspective early in the month, and you might be amazed at your new outlook. This week you have the strength and motivation to accomplish your goals. You will sigh with relief when everything gets accomplished on time and in order. A conflict this month might be seen as a valuable learning experience tomorrow. Look for the silver lining in any situation that appears to be heading in the wrong direction.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Sagittarius, try to separate your personal life from your professional activities this month. This may require being a little more quiet and introspective than usual, but do your best. Mid-month is a great time to establish a financial strategy that fits into your lifestyle. If this involves revisiting your professional ambitions, then so be it. Trust your instincts. You harbor some passionate feelings about certain things, so try to voice those feelings to the people who will be affected by them. With some persuasion, you may win this person over and he or she will become a big supporter.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Many things in your life are vying for your attention. It’s difficult to choose just one, but you will have to do so month. If necessary, reach out to a friend for assistance. This month you have a green light to spoil yourself, Virgo. It isn’t something you do often, so let loose a little bit and splurge on some luxuries. Trivial things may get blown out of proportion later in the month. Try your best to concentrate on work and let meaningless distractions fall by the wayside. In fact, it might be a good month to tackle a financial project. Select something relatively easy to begin with, and then go from there if you find yourself in a financial groove.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Let your feelings be heard if you feel underappreciated by someone close to you. Your loved one will appreciate your honesty and welcome your insight. Capricorn, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit mid-month. You may not have time to mince words, so don’t hesitate to get to the point. Others will appreciate your candor. It can sometimes be uncomfortable, but honesty is always the best policy. Even if you don’t want to go along with what the group is doing at the end of the month, you just may have to concede that what is best for the group trumps your personal preference.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Libra, your values and those of a loved one may clash from time to time. Some polite and intelligent discourse might be just what the doctor ordered. A dear friend or relative could use your support right about now. Offer a helping hand or even a shoulder to cry on so this special person knows you’re there to help. A flexible attitude may open the door to some wonderful opportunities that present themselves at the most unexpected times. Keep an open mind. Be creative this month. Tackle a project around the house, like painting or rearranging a room. Look for a new creative hobby as well.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) A meaningful conversation with the right person may occur at the beginning of the month, Aquarius. It could mean a step in the right direction for you and help to further your career. It’s time to be your own teacher and become an expert in any subject you desire. Start doing your research and you may be surprised at the discoveries. Some emotional storm clouds have finally started to clear out. Your mind is open to possibilities that were previously hidden. It’s time to make some serious choices. Financial issues may be keeping you on your toes, but it’s nothing you can’t handle if you stick to your plan. You may want to do some tinkering, however.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) Reactions come swiftly and strongly as the month begins. You either love or hate something, and things may be very black and white in your world in the days ahead. Scorpio, make an effort to be a social butterfly early in the month. This will quench your thirst to be around others. Don’t be afraid to reconnect with old friends. The future is looking brighter now that you have made some major overhauls in your life. Keep the momentum going. You have a lot of energy and a need to strive toward perfection in all that you do. Those traits will prove valuable.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Pisces, your emotions are so strong at the beginning of the month that you may feel alienated from those closest to you. If so, make an effort to stay connected. You might start seeing a platonic pal in a more amorous way. The affinity you share may be the foundation for a great relationship. Continue to bring the right people into your inner circle. One person in particular has your eye and might be just what you need. Take your time when mulling an important decision. Only you will know how much time you need, so don’t allow others to pressure you.

ISLAND REVIEW 69

FROM DREAD TO RELIEF,

SHEILA CAME FULL CIRCLE.

After her breast cancer diagnosis, Sheila was terrified. But her feeling of dread soon changed to one of confidence and relief, thanks to the oncology team at Carteret Health Care. “They helped me to think positive, and to believe in my own fighting spirit,” Sheila remembers.

The popular annual tournament has a $30,000 first place award and a 50 boat cap. By the end of August it had met its boat cap and was adding folks to the wait list, ensuring an exciting round of angling this year. 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. A captain’s welcome party and meeting is planned for Wednesday, Oct. 12 and the awards party will be held on Saturday, Oct. 15. Friday and Saturday are fishing days with daily weigh-ins. A free concert by Spare Change is planned for Saturday and the community is invited to come out and enjoy the music. 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.

White Oak River Birding Cruises Fall Party Supports BHA THE PREMIER GALA event of the season returns this October. Beginning at 6:30pm on Saturday, Oct. 15, guests are in for a treat as Windsor artist Fen Rascoe comes to the waterfront home of Wes and Trent Ragland along with music by the band Blue Moon Jazz and catering by Beaufort Grocery Co. Originally built by Hugh and Nan Cullman, the Ragland’s home sits at 821 Front St. with views of Taylors Creek, the perfect backdrop for the artwork of Fen Rascoe. Rascoe’s love for art began in his high school art class and followed him through college. After several years’ hiatus, he picked the brush back up and has since begun putting his favorite subjects from Eastern North Carolina on canvas and panel. Over the past year Rascoe has joined the American Impressionists Society and has studied under multiple nationally and regionally known artists. His work can be seen at Artsource Fine Art in Raleigh, Seaside Art Gallery in Nags Head and the Mattie King Davis Art Gallery on the Beaufort Historic Site through November. A perfect complement to Rascoe’s colorful, harmonious style is the light, melodious sound of the band Blue Moon Jazz. Local musicians from Jacksonville, Emerald Isle and the New Bern area create the quartet. The group has been performing jazz standards and modern jazz for the past 14 years, although individually, the group’s experience extends decades. The combination of the music, artwork, views and the delicious menu are sure to make the Fall Party a night to remember. Tickets are $100 and may be purchased in advance or the day of the event at the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center at 130 Turner St., or online at www.beauforthistoricsite.org. All proceeds from ticket sales benefit the preservation, restoration and education programs of the Beaufort Historic Site. For more information, call Beaufort Historical Association at 252-728-5225 or visit beauforthistoricsite.org.

The NC Coastal Federation is hosting its fall birding cruises on the White Oak River from 10am-noon on Sunday, Oct. 23 and Sunday, Nov. 13. The cruises will be led by local birding expert and federation board member, JoAnne Powell. The two-hour cruises, aboard a covered ferry boat, will move through estuaries of the White Oak River and Bogue Sound and participants will identify resident and migratory shorebirds, warblers, raptors and waterfowl. Birds are most common in and around coastal estuaries, looking for food, water and shelter. In addition to birds, the cruise offers views of marshes, Bogue Inlet and Bear Island. Participants may also see other kinds of wildlife, such as dolphins, that reside around the estuaries. “The Birding Cruises are always a very popular program, and Hammocks Beach State Park offers such spectacular views of the local birds and wildlife,” said Rachel Bisesi, education coordinator for the federation.
