Movies by the Sea The Town of Atlantic Beach is continuing its Seaside Cinema program this month, with movies every Wednesday at the boardwalk by the Circle. Movies begin at dusk, around 8:30pm. The movies are free and visitors are encouraged to bring snacks. Chairs and blankets are recommended, but please leave pets at home. Movie cancellations due to weather will be posted on the town’s Facebook page.

The July lineup includes “National Treasure” (2nd), “Frozen” (9th), “Wizard of Oz” (16th), “Enchanted” (23rd) and “Surf’s Up” (30th).

Celebrate the Fourth Independence Day is always a busy time on the Crystal Coast. From Beaufort to Emerald Isle, there’s an activity for every family to enjoy.

Morehead City Parks and Recreation Dept. presents The Main Event Band on the Morehead City waterfront on July 4. From 7-9pm, the tunes will flow well ahead of the fireworks, giving visitors the chance to be entertained while grabbing a great seat at Jaycee Park for the nighttime event. The Morehead City fireworks are set to go off at 9pm and can be enjoyed from any vantage point on the waterfront. It’s best to arrive early to get a good spot.

Beaufort takes an old-fashioned approach to the holidays with families, businesses and clubs taking to the street for the annual Fourth of July parade. Line the streets and watch the patriotic floats at 11am then head to the Carteret County Courthouse for free ice cream and music. The fireworks begin at 9pm and are sponsored by Front Street Village. The family affair is held at the NC Maritime Museum’s Gallants Channel Annex off West Beaufort Road.

and beverage vendors, with all proceeds benefitting the Beaufort Fireman’s Association.

Along Bogue Banks, Atlantic Beach and Emerald Isle host fireworks displays. Atlantic Beach holds its event at the Circle, with parking around the circle. The town recommends carpooling, walking or biking to help with traffic congestion.

The Emerald Isle Fireworks are launched off the Bogue Inlet Pier.

Parking is available at the pier and along Hwy 58.

The display begins at 9pm and should be visible from Bogue Sound and the Intracoastal Waterway.

A Second Helping When leaving vacation homes this summer, consider donated leftover and extra food to A Second Helping – Emerald Isle. A Second Helping collects leftover food from vacationers and distributes to local food banks and soup kitchens. The program accepts extra canned goods, perishables, non-perishables and even open containers to drop-off locations at the Holiday TravLPark and beside Bert’s Surf Shop in Emerald Isle.

Time for Stories For the eleventh year, the annual Storytelling Festival returns to Carteret County. The festival, a joint effort of the Friends of the Bogue Banks Public Library, Friends of the Carteret County Public Library and the Friends of the Western Carteret Public Library, is scheduled for four Wednesdays this month, July 9, 16, 23 and 30. The festival brings regional performers to the area for two shows each.

The first is at 10am at the Crystal Coast Civic Center, and the second is at 2pm at Bethlehem Methodist Church in Bogue.

Admission is free and the performances are meant for age 5 and up.

Performers this year include puppeteer Anna Pridgen (9th), magician Gary Shelton (16th), literacy outreach group The Story Squad (23rd) and juggler and magician Paul Miller of Flow Circus (30th).

For larger groups that would like to attend, call the Bogue Banks Public Library at 252-247-4660 with the number of children coming and to which performance. The festival is suited for children in grades K-6 and not intended for preschool groups. Any group of children attending the festival must have two adults for every 10 children in the group, and counselors and leaders are expected to sit among the children in order to maintain a listening audience.

BHA Summer Party

George Gardner is responsible for bringing this program to Emerald Isle. He said, “The program started in Holden Beach, and after reading an article about the gentleman that started this, I felt like this was something we can do on the Crystal Coast.”

The program started in June and will continue each Saturday through Aug. 30. Drop-off is open from 7am-noon each week. Recipients of the donations include The Hem of His Garment in Swansboro, Martha’s Mission and the Hope Mission of Morehead City and Caroline’s House. The program is still seeking volunteers to help collect food on Saturday. To sign up, email volunteers@asecondhelpingemeraldisle.com or call 252-354-7104.

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2014

Cool down with the Beaufort Historical Association’s annual Summer Party at the Beaufort Historic Site.

The party is planned for 7-11pm on Saturday, July 12.

The Summer Party was started as a celebration of Beaufort’s 300th Anniversary in 2009. It has quickly become a tradition and the perfect occasion to celebrate the fun and easy-going season that so many families enjoy in Beaufort. This year,

the party takes on a luau theme, featuring Hawaiian and Polynesian inspired music and food. The food is provided by local favorite, Beaufort Grocery Co. and music is provided by The Boomers. With the help of donations by local businesses, the BHA hopes to raise funds through a live and silent auction to continue its mission of preserving the local history as well as educating future generations of the rich heritage found in Beaufort.

Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased in advance or the day of the event at the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center. For more information, visit www. beauforthistoricsite.org.

Kids Go Fishing While the summer calendar is full of adult fishing tournaments for various causes, there’s one tournament meant specifically for the kids.

The Barta Boys & Girls Club Billfish Tournament is a competition between kids that benefits kids.

For the eleventh year, the tournament returns to downtown Beaufort July 17-19. The brainchild of outdoorsman Tred Barta and his wife Anni, the tournament puts kids on

the water and a rod in their hands with the goal of releasing the most billfish in the two-day tournament.

The tournament is part of the NC Governors Cup Billfish Series and is the only 100 percent release billfish tournament in the state. All of the proceeds from the tournament benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Coastal Carolina. The event perfectly harmonizes with the club’s mission to offer encouragement to all children by allowing them to realize their full potential. Awards are given in a variety of categories. Fishing runs from 8am-2pm on Friday and Saturday. Registration is $800 for inshore and offshore, and $350 for inshore only.

For all registration documents and rules, visit www. bartabillfish.com.

Reenactment at Fort Macon See history come to life with a reenactment at Fort Macon on Saturday and Sunday, July 19-20 at Fort Macon State Park. Step back in time to the Civil War and see how people lived on the Crystal Coast.

The First NC Volunteers/ 11th NC Regiment and other reenacting groups will portray troops from the Civil War era.

The public program is ongoing from 10am-4pm each day and offers visitors a glimpse back in time to the American Civil War. Uniformed military and civilian living historians will demonstrate (Cont. on page 57)

My Accidental Jihad

By Krista Bremer KRISTA BREMER IS a journalist who lives in North Carolina. “My Accidental Jihad” is part love story, part cultural expose, part humorous memoir and part study of faith. In this time of so many questions many Americans have about Islam, it is an intriguing exploration into the basics of a faith which has so many facets. The underlying message here is that love can transcend cultural and religious differences.

This is not a book about angry attacks in the name of religion. For Muslims, Jihad means the struggle to fulfill one’s religious duties. Bremer’s accidental jihad was her struggle to open her heart to a man so different from herself. Before meeting her Islamic husband, Ismail, while running on a trail in Chapel Hill, she was a surfer girl in California and a feminist. He was not the mate she had imagined while playing the Game of Life as a girl, instead an older, darker and poorer man than she envisioned before. She was swept away by his stories, his calmness and his sincere affection for her.

Her attempt to introduce her husband to the Christmas traditions she grew up with offers a fascinating view of how

COASTAL

people who fall in love must navigate the differences of their pasts. The surprise is that the center of her holiday experience is the frustration of gift giving which she cannot explain to Ismail. He tells her that he is afraid he did not buy her enough presents. “That’s it! That right there! Do you feel it?”

The center of the story is the trip Krista, Ismail and their daughter take to Libya to meet his family. This is back when Omar Gaddafi was still in control of the country. Krista is overwhelmed by the extended family which is steeped in the faith traditions of Islam and the oppressive culture of the dictator led nation. She is treated with warm hospitality but is smothered by days spent within a circle of Muslim women who cannot understand her feminism, her need for freedom and her ideas of family.

There is great sadness for Krista as she learns the painful details about her new family’s challenges. Life is put on hold for those who are forced to adjust to a world where personal freedom is often buried under the control of family or government conventions. Bremer says that life in Libya was all about waiting for everything, jobs, marriage and education included. In contrast to these negatives is the warmth she feels in this family which produced the man she married and which welcomed her graciously and open heartedly.

This is a must read for those who seek to understand how differences in culture and faith can be bridged. As the book cover says, “My Accidental Jihad explores what it means to open one’s mind to another culture – and just as important, to open one’s heart.”

Child of Emerald Isle THERE’S THE UNMISTAKABLE crunch of oyster shells under car tires as the line of three SUVs turns into the driveway of their beach cottage for the week.

Simultaneously, all the car doors open and slam and small, barefooted children race to the front door to be first to see the magical sandcastle of a home the big people in their lives have chosen for their favorite week of the year. Not slowing down for a second as they tear through the living room, banging through the screen door and out to the deck to see just how close the beach, the dunes and the wide blue green sea really is. Laughter, chuckles of pure joy, as those bare feet hit the warm sand for the first time since last July – may we get our feet wet, please? – as favorite aunties nod appreciatively.

Our littlest visitors sometimes get forgotten in our desire to have beautifully furnished living rooms or kitchens with the latest equipment for the gourmet chefs, would be baristas and the wine snobs in the clan. Family beach vacations, though, are all about the memories we are making for the youngest members of our tribe. My children, and now my grandchildren, are each blessed to be called a child of Emerald Isle. They know where oysters and clams come from (Grandma Honey’s patch of Bogue Sound) and how to throw a cast net just so to catch shrimp or teeny mullet minnows to bait a hook for bigger fish. Sunset paddleboard

rides or catching a wave at its perfect curl on their surf boards looks as easy as breathing for them.

But they know, too, the best joys of our weeks in a beach cottage on the oceanfront are because the homeowner has included a simple picnic table on the screen porch for watermelons and painting seashells. Well worn stocks of puzzles, Trivial Pursuit and Monopoly and, of course, decks of playing cards are a must for competitive rounds of games with all the generations of the family. At least one kid-friendly bedroom with a cozy chair for snuggles during bedtime stories and giggles after lights out with brothers, sisters or cousins. Bookshelves with beloved and familiar children’s books, but also stocked with seashell guides, shore bird photos and perhaps tales of North Carolina pirates and Tarheel ghost stories. Don’t forget large flashlights for small hands to hold during the nightly walking and shrieking stalking after the elusive ghost crabs. A clothesline is a must to hold a multitude of tiny bathing suits because no one, at any age, likes to put on a wet bathing suit! Small plastic cups, bright plastic bowls and plates just their size make mealtimes fun.

But the most important treasure of any family beach vacation for our littlest guests are lots of laps to sit upon; under beach umbrellas at mid-day and being rocked on the porch at day’s end with stories murmured in their salty little ears of beach days gone by.

Recommended for Summer Reading: ‘Strangers Have the Best Candy’ AUTHOR MARGARET MEPS Shulte is an adventurer who has been traveling North America to find and write about “happy spots.” Often, she and her husband Barry travel by sea on their sailboat named Flutterby.

In the closing chapter – “Kindred Spirits” – of her justreleased book, “Strangers Have the Best Candy,” readers learn that Flutterby was in a coastal North Carolina boatyard in the dead of winter … and living on the boat was cramped, cold and miserable.

Margaret remembered from a previous sojourn, a “tearoom sitting on a desolate road, on the way from ‘nowhere’ to the ‘end of the known world.’ I headed that way, my heart set on a pot of tea and a warm blueberry scone.”

She was delighted to find that this Down East North Carolina “happy spot” was open for business on a blustery, bleak day – The Kindred Spirit Gift Shop & Green Gables Tea Room.

Proprietor Libby Liles. “…I felt like such a welcomed, honored guest that it brought tears to me eyes. I wished I could spend more time in this cozy, civilized place. My wish came true,” Margaret wrote.

“When we started talking, I discovered a true kindred spirit in Libby. I offered to help her with some projects, which gave me an excuse to spend a day in the tearoom every week. That was my favorite day of the week, the day when the two of us

could hang out and drink tea and talk about everything (and everybody!) under the sun.

“Being with Libby was like spending time with an artist … my (first) impression of Libby was a polite, reserved Southern host… Behind the scenes, though, she was one of the funniest people I have ever known.

“She showed me how to be a steel magnolia, to laugh in the face of adversity. She taught me to say ‘bless your heart’ with a straight face and mean the exact opposite.”

When the boat repairs were finished and time for Margaret to leave, she wrote that it broke her heart to “sail south and leave my best friend behind. I consoled myself with a line from Anne of Green Gables: ‘True friends are always together in spirit.’”

If you’re just dying to meet Libby Liles and experience this “happy spot,” her place is not that hard to find.

Although Libby says her shop is located in “Hooterville,” it has a Beaufort mailing address. Take Hwy 70 East from Beaufort, proceed through Bettie and Otway. Turn right on Harkers Island Road. The shop/tearoom is down a ways on your left (937 Harkers Island Road), where the colorful flags are flapping. (If you get to Straits, you’ve gone too far.)

Step inside, and you’re likely to be greeted by Maggie May, a rescue cat, who has the run of the place. Choose any tea flavor you prefer. Margaret’s favorites are “Lemon Souffle Rooibos” and “Cupid’s Bling.”

chamber connection

Chamber’s 2014 Directory is a Guide To ‘Doing Business’ at the Coast THE 2014 BUSINESS Directory & Visitors Guide, published by the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce, is now available – free of charge – at chamber headquarters at 801 Arendell St., Morehead City.

The 84-page publication was printed by NCCOAST (publisher of Island Review) and designed by Graphic Artist Amy Krysa.

The Visitors Guide section appears in the front of the book, featuring 53 color photographs that illustrate all of the ways Carteret County and the Crystal Coast lay claim to being the “Water Sports Capital of North Carolina.” With the theme “Gems of the Crystal Coast,” the publication highlights attractions of Carteret County.

Chamber member Bob Malone of Carteret Community Theatre commented, “I picked up the new Chamber Directory … and was, once again, absolutely astounded as I moved page by page in what is proving to be the National Geographic of Carteret County. The photographs of this wonderful county some of us are fortunate to call home are stunning!”

Chamber Board Chair Bill Rogerson said, “The book is not only visually attractive, it is especially useful to second home owners and vacationers because it contains the complete roster of chamber member businesses.

“There are three listings of chamber members – by category (like the Yellow Pages), by name in alphabetical order and by key contacts. The directory is a ready-reference of businesses

that provide services, including lawn care, health care, heating and air, boat repair and vehicle servicing, plus hundreds of other categories,” Rogerson said.

In the center of the book are the “Faces of the Chamber” – chamber members in action. “The Carteret County Chamber is one of the most active chambers in the region and second home owners are welcome to join. We have a new category for seasonal or part-time residents. The annual membership fee is $60.

“We realize that it’s difficult for part-time residents to ‘come to stuff,’ but being part of the chamber is a great way to stay connected and in-the-know about important political issues that affect us here in Carteret County – including education, transportation, insurance rates, taxes, beach nourishment, sea level rise and more,” added Rogerson.

“Certainly, we’re on top of state and federal legislation and regulations that can have harmful effects on beach access and property values, such as the ‘critical habitat’ designations that are being proposed for Bogue Banks that could seriously interfere with use of the beach by people.”

To inquire about membership, send your e-mail message to Julie Naegelen at julie@nccoastchamber.com.

mayor’s notes

Remember the Meaning of the Fourth of July I LOVE THE 4th of July. It is a wonderful holiday spending time with family and friends as we celebrate our nation’s birthday. On June 11, 1776 the colonies’ second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia formed a committee with the express purpose of drafting a document that would formally sever the ties with Great Britain. The committee included Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert R. Livingston. The Continental Congress officially adopted the final version on July 4, 1776.

The following day, copies of the Declaration of Independence were

Mayor Eddie Barber

distributed, and on July 6, the Pennsylvania Evening Post became the first newspaper to print this document. The Declaration of Independence has since become our nation’s most cherished symbol of liberty and freedom.

Exactly one year later on July 4, 1777, Philadelphia marked Independence Day by adjourning Congress and celebrating with bonfires, bells and fireworks. This custom spread to other towns, both large and small to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

Congress established Independence Day as a holiday in 1870 and in 1938, Congress reaffirmed it as a holiday, but with full pay for all federal employees.

This year, we will gather with family, friends, neighbors and visitors at Emerald Isle to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Take time on the Fourth to give thanks for all of our blessings and for our freedom. I invite you to attend our fireworks display on Friday, July 4 which begins at 9pm at Bogue Inlet Pier.

And as we rejoice, let us never forget the brave souls that fought and served for the pride and peace of our nation.

Let us never forget the sacrifices others have made and continue to make each day for our freedom.

Happy 4th of July! May God bless you, our nation and our beloved Emerald Isle.

The board of commissioners recently approved an agreement with the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority (TDA) that would result in the town constructing a new Welcome Center at Merchants Park, with the TDA leasing the new building from the town.

The new building would have a similar appearance to the town administration building, and would replace the current Western Carteret Visitors Center located near the intersection of Hwy 24 and Hwy 58 on the mainland. A location on the island, adjacent to the town’s bike path, is expected to serve many more visitors.

The TDA Board of Directors will formally consider the proposed agreement this summer, and if approved construction could begin later this fall.

Coast Guard Road Bike Path Complete

The Coast Guard Road bike path now extends all the way to The Point! The new path was completed just prior to Memorial Day, and extends to Wyndward Court and Ring Street, where bicyclists, runners and walkers can make a safe connection to the Bogue Inlet area.

Additional retaining wall and landscaping work must still be completed, but the new path is open to the public. Enjoy!

The town also plans to resurface and install new pavement markings on Coast Guard Road this fall.

Hwy 58 Bike Path Nearly Complete

The final stages of construction are underway for the Hwy 58 bike path in eastern Emerald Isle.

Approximately two-thirds of the new 2.7 mile segment between the Indian Beach town limits and the Eastern Ocean Regional Access has been paved, and the remaining paving will be complete in June.

Upon completion of the NC bike path in this area, the “Emerald Path” will traverse more than 11 miles from one end of Emerald Isle to the other! We are pleased to complete this popular amenity for our residents and visitors.

Community Center Expansion Set to Open

The new Community Center expansion is essentially complete and is expected to open in June. The result is an expanded exercise room and expanded weight room. Sign up today for one of our popular exercise classes!

Storm Water Improvements Nearly Complete

New storm water pipe has been installed along Coast Guard Road and within Lands End, and final connections to the town’s overall storm water management system will be completed in June.

Upon completion, a total of 8 different pumps in various subdivisions on Coast Guard Road will be connected to the town’s system that discharges in Emerald Isle Woods Park. These connections will enable the town to minimize the impacts and duration of future nuisance flooding events in certain areas.

Respect Parking Regulations at Public Boating Access Area

The town and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission are pleased with the heavy usage of the public boating access area on Hwy 58 near mile marker 18, and want everyone to enjoy the wonderful boating and fishing opportunities in our area. The facility is offered free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis, and town and NC WRC staff work hard to keep the facility attractive and functional.

Please help us keep the facility among the nicest in North Carolina, and respect the parking regulations in place: · Please park in designated parking spaces only, · Single vehicles should not park in spaces designated for vehicles with boat trailers, · There is no public beach access available from this location, and the facility should not be used for beach access.

Thank you for your cooperation!

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

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

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

We could not thank Greg enough.

By Greg (Rudi) Rudolph, Shore Protection Mgr.

2014 Hurricane Season Preview IT’S DIFFICULT NOT to be subjected to what seems like an overwhelming volume of hurricane predictions this time of year, and while some of these forecasts might be construed as glorified arm-flapping; there is a method to the madness and helps underscore the need to be prepared first and foremost – and that’s a good thing.

The purpose of this article is to help demystify all the prediction terminology so we can ascertain what type of season we should expect and why. For instance, the “hurricane season” could really be termed the “tropical cyclone season” because cyclones can develop into both tropical storms AND hurricanes and that’s what we’re most concerned about. Regardless, the hurricane season officially runs for a 6-month window that opens on June 1 and closes Nov. 30, yet the formation of a cyclone outside the 6-month designation is not outside the realm of possibility – Alberto and Beryl collectively spent seven days in tropical storm status in May of 2012.

At a 30,000 feet level of understanding (pun intended), most experts agree the Atlantic Ocean basin continues to be in a heightened trend of tropical cyclone activity compliments of cyclical oceanatmosphere interactions coupled with possible impacts from warming climate and seas (there’s still a lot of debate on this). On a finer scale, forecasters are generally predicting a “below normal” hurricane season for 2014 based predominantly on the likely development of El Niño during the summer/early fall, and model predictions calling for near- or below-average sea-surface temperatures the Atlantic Ocean. Hot water can be considered as fuel for cyclones.

However, because El Niño is considered the main driver for this year’s hurricane season, it’s worth diving into this phenomenon a little more. El Niño is a component of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) that occurs in the Pacific Ocean basin. ENSO “warm phase” or El Niño occurs once every 2 to 7 years and generally produces atmospheric conditions that suppress the formation of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic. That’s big for us obviously. Interestingly, the term El Niño means “little boy” or “Christ child,” which was coined by South American fishermen noting the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean occurring near Christmas. As you may have guessed by now, La Niña (the girl child) is the cold phase of ENSO and tends to produce atmospheric conditions more favorable for tropical cyclone development.

So how do we know when El Niño or La Niña is upon us? Traditionally, ENSO cycles were determined empirically based upon the differences in surface air pressure between Tahiti and Darwin, Australia.

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2014

protectthebeach.com

Today, scientists use sea surface temperature measurements along the equatorial pacific as an indicator of El Niño or La Niña (particularly in a region known as Niño 3.4). If the sea surface temperature variance is greater than or equal to +0.5° C in region Niño 3.4, then the conditions are classified as El Niño and vice versa (i.e., if the temperature variance is lower than or equal to -0.5° C, then La Niña conditions are prevalent). And finally, if the temperature variance is between +0.5° C and -0.5° C, then ENSO neutral phase is dominant (neither El Niño nor La Niña).

And lastly a full-fledged El Niño or La Niña is only officially designated if the sea surface temperature thresholds are exceeded for a period of at least five consecutive overlapping 3-month seasons (roughly 7 months). Hence, we may have El Niño or La Niña conditions, but the history books may never reveal that an El Niño or La Niña episode ever took place.

At the time this edition of Shorelines is being prepared, we are in ENSO neutral conditions, but El Niño conditions are expected to take hold in the summer and possibly persist long enough for an official El Niño event. Again, El Niño produces atmospheric conditions that suppress the formation of tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and is the main cause for the below average prediction for 2014.

Hurricane Vocabulary There are plenty of terms that you will likely hear this hurricane season - cyclones, tropical storms, hurricanes and more. For instance, Sandy in 2012 turned extratropical – what does this mean? The following should help in our general understanding of this and other terms.

Tropical cyclone – Warm-core, atmospheric closed circulation rotating counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.

Tropical storm – A tropical cyclone with a maximum sustained surface wind speed ranging from 39 mph to 73 mph using the U.S. 1-minute average.

Hurricane – A tropical cyclone with a maximum sustained surface wind speed reaching 74 mph or more.

Saffir Simpson Scale – A scale including a 1 to 5 rating based upon wind speeds, again utilizing the US 1-minute average. A category 1 hurricane has winds ranging from 74 to 95 miles per hour (mph), category 2 ranges from 96 to 100 mph, category 3 ranges from 111 to 130 mph, category 4 ranges from 131 to 155 mph and a category 5 hurricane has sustained winds exceeding 155 mph.

Major Hurricane – A hurricane reaching category 3 or higher on the Saffir Simpson Scale. Interestingly, category 5 hurricanes very rarely make landfall while maintaining their category 5 intensity – only three have ever done so in the US – the Labor Day hurricane (1935), Camille (1969) and Andrew (1992).

Extratropical Storm – A cold-core atmospheric cyclone deriving its energy when cold and warm air masses interact, not as part of the positive feedback loop identified with tropical storms as warm, moist air rises causing continual heat exchange. Unlike tropical storms, extratropical storms can have one or more fronts connected to them, and can occur over land or ocean. Extratropical cyclones can have winds ranging to levels associated with a tropical depression, or as strong as a hurricane and examples include blizzards and nor’easters, which often form in winter and fall months off the mid-Atlantic and drift slowly along the north Atlantic seaboard and eventually east. If it drifts back west towards land, it is called a retrograded nor’easter.

Subtropical Storm – Occurs if waters under an extratropical cyclone are warm, followed by thunderstorms that gradually build inside the storm. The storm core may subsequently and gradually go from cold to warm, and the storm will be called subtropical.

Post-Tropical Cyclone – A hybrid term describing a cyclone no longer possessing the characteristics to be considered a tropical cyclone, and are further divided into either “extratropical” (see above) or “remnant lows.”

What to Expect for 2014 If you’re a frequent reader of the Island Review, then you will already know that our preference is to review the predictions produced by groups that make not just their forecasts public, but verify their prediction skill in the public arena as well. This really leaves us with; (1) the Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University, (2) the University NO AA (m edian) 5/22/14

And while most experts are indeed forecasting a below normal season for 2014 (average ACE Index of 67), these predictions do not represent landfall probabilities because cyclone paths are dependent on short-term factors such as interactions with other weather systems and fluctuating steering patterns. Unfortunately, as suggested before, it only takes one cyclone to make or break a hurricane season, with 1992 being a perfect example – just 7 named cyclones, four of which were hurricanes, with one of those classified as major, and an ACE index value of 75. Sounds like a very quiet year, except the one major hurricane was Andrew, which struck Florida and was the costliest natural disaster in US history until Katrina in 2005.

This underscores the need to be prepared for each and every hurricane season regardless if it is an active one or not. Also, we will continue to monitor the potential cumulative effects to our beaches that could occur if multiple non-landfall cyclones impact our area with higher than normal wave activity.

at the AQUARIUM Time Travel STEP OUT ONTO the Marsh Boardwalk for a trip back in time. Dinosaur Adventure takes you millions of years in reverse. The agile coelophysis, the fierce allosaurus, the long-necked apatosaurus and other bygone beasts seemingly come to life, turning their heads and calling. The two dilophosauruses even spit, although scientists say the notion that this species doused its victims with toxin before attacking is a movie contrivance.

Keep the rail between you and the Marsh Boardwalk dinosaurs but don’t worry about the tyrannosaurus rex out front. Strike a pose with it for your next post. On July 19, watch for

a special appearance of Dr. Dino and his dinosaur-themed activities.

Dinosaur Adventure features seven species and 11 realistic, animatronic replicas of dinosaurs, most of them from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.

Enjoy this experience free with admission or membership 9am-5pm daily, but don’t wait too long. Labor Day brings back extinction.

Way-Back Wednesdays After you’ve seen the dinosaurs, come inside for another peek at the prehistoric past with Way-Back Wednesdays, themed around ancient animals and how they relate to today’s wildlife. Starting June 11, several activities weekly will focus on living links to distant times. A stingray feeding, a Creature Connection program and an animal encounter spotlight alligators, sea turtles and other species with ties to early times.

Show off your knowledge on the topic in an aquarium jeopardy game. In the discovery classroom, the little ones can enjoy crafts on dinosaurs, horseshoe crabs and other critters fitting the day’s theme. Way-Back Wednesdays run

weekly through Aug. 6, and activities are free with admission or membership.

Toothy Times Find out more about the ocean’s top predators through fun facts, programs, activities, displays and crafts during the annual observance of Shark Week, July 27-Aug. 2. Be sure to shake fins with Friendly Finley, the aquarium’s shark mascot.

Shark Week activities are free with admission.

Cool Off Make a splash during your vacation with the aquarium’s new stand-up paddle boarding class. The Aquarium provides the boards, expert instruction and information on the flora and fauna surrounding you as you explore Bogue Sound. This experience is available five days a week, with two morning sessions and three in the late afternoon.

If you’d rather sit down for the scenery, take a morning or

evening paddle trip along the shores of Roosevelt Natural Area. Also enjoy sessions on catching crabs and clams, a marsh exploration and an evening beach expedition focused on sea turtles.

For oceanside action, surfing classes are offered two mornings a week, and a surf fishing primer once weekly.

To get out of the sun or rain, choose from a number of behindthe-scenes tours. See the website for the full selection and the schedule. These activities require fees in addition to admission and advance registration – sign up early, as they fill quickly. Online registration is fast and easy.

For an experience that will send your spirits soaring, pick up “boarding passes” to the day’s presentation of Winging It - Birds in Flight. This ticketed program features birds such as pelicans, owls, hawks and vultures, along with a cute seagull. Tickets are $4 in addition to admission, available at admissions.

The aquarium is open 9am-5pm daily, including all holidays except

Thanksgiving and Christmas days. Admission is $10.95 for ages 13-61, $9.95 for age 62 and over and $8.95 for ages 3-12. No charge for children 2 and under and NC Aquarium Society members. The aquarium is 5 miles west of Atlantic Beach; the address is 1 Roosevelt Blvd., Pine Knoll Shores, NC 28512.

gardenscape Orchard Mason Bees for the Home Garden THE ORCHARD MASON Bee is the common name of a nonsocial native bee (Osmia lignaria ssp.) that pollinates our spring fruit trees, flowers and vegetables.

This gentle, blue-black metallic bee does not live in hives. In nature it nests within hollow stems, woodpecker drillings and insect holes found in trees or wood. Sometimes there may be dense collections of individual nest holes, but these bees neither connect or share nests, nor help provision or protect each othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; young. Also, they are active for only a short period of the year. They are not aggressive and one may observe them at very close range without fear of being stung, which makes them excellent for enhancing our yards and gardens.

They add beauty, activity and pollination to our plantings. However, they do not produce honey.

About Orchard Mason Bees The female Orchard Mason Bee visits flowers to collect pollen for its young. She forms a small ball of pollen and nectar in the back of the nesting tube and lays an egg on the ball. She then collects mud to form a cell partition and repeats the pollen ball-egg laying process until she reaches the mouth of the tube where she caps the end with mud. Starting the life cycle in the spring, adult males emerge from tubes first, but must wait for the later appearance of the females in order to mate. This event often coincides with the redbud (Cercis) bloom.

Females alone begin founding new nests in holes to make a row of 5-10 cells in each nest. Females collect the pollen and nectar and lay eggs. Their short foraging range is about 100 yards from the nest. Activity continues 4-6 weeks and then adults die. During the summer, larvae develop inside the nests, make cocoons, and become new adults resting in the cells. With the onset of fall, the adults become dormant as they go into hibernation. These bees require some cold temperatures before spring in order to break their dormancy.

Nest Block Construction The native eastern species of Orchard Mason Bee will nest in holes drilled in a wooden block. Untreated 4-inch x 6-inch lumber works great. Holes can be drilled in the wood on 3/4 inch centers. They should be 4-8 inches deep (depending upon the size lumber used), smooth, and a 5/16 inch diameter hole is important.

A smaller hole encourages higher production of male bees which reduces the reproductive potential of the population.

Blocks may be drilled from either face giving shallower or deeper holes.

Shallower holes may produce more male bees. Do not drill completely through the lumber. Drill the hole to a depth about 1/2 inch from the back of the block. Attach a roof to provide protection from the midday sun and rain.

Outside surfaces may be painted or stained, but do not use wood preservatives. One hole may be drilled in the back to provide a means of hanging the block. Face nesting blocks as close to the southeast direction as possible to catch morning sun and affix it firmly so that it does not sway in the wind. It should be located at least three feet above the LEARN MORE ABOUT IT ground.

These bees need mud to construct cell www.knoxcellars.com partitions, so adding a mud supply may www.beediverse.com be helpful if needed. This can be a trench www.pollinatorparadise.com or tub located nearby where muddy soil is maintained during the nesting period. The 46

ISLAND REVIEW â&#x20AC;˘ July 2014

mud should not be highly organic or sandy. Clay soils work well.

Do not move the blocks during the weeks of active nesting. Once all nesting activity has stopped, the nesting block may be moved to a shelter such as a shed or unheated garage. Be gentle when moving occupied blocks at this time of year. This will give the bees added protection from predators and parasites, yet will allow them exposure to the cold temperatures that they need to break hibernation.

If desired, bee emergence can be delayed for a short period by refrigerating the block in the spring until you are ready for the bees to emerge. Bees will need three days to warm up following refrigeration.

Orchard Bees are sometimes reared in cardboard tubes, hollow reeds, or straws. Cardboard tubes and straws need more protection from weather and parasites. Paper straws allow better inspection and manipulation.

Plastic straws hold moisture and allow mold to develop and are not recommended. Bees may also be purchased commercially.

You can be creative with your nesting blocks. Blocks can be made from any shape wood. They may be cut to a fancy shape, be a small piece of dead tree limb, fence post or scrap of firewood. You can vary the diameter of the drilled holes to attract different species of tube-nesting bees or nonsocial, beneficial wasps.

INDIAN BEACH

mayor’s notes

Enjoying Summer in Indian Beach SUMMER IS HERE. Schools are on summer break and people are making time for friends and family. We at Indian Beach would like to make your time here as fun and safe as possible. If you need anything or have any concerns, we invite you to stop by town hall and speak with Bryan or Linda. They, as well as the other departments, want your time here to be relaxing and enjoyable.

As you begin or continue your vacation, be mindful of things going on around you. Contact the appropriate agency if you have a concern. Our police and fire departments are always willing to help answer any questions you may have. Our police department can be contacted at 252-247-6700 and our fire department can be contacted at 252-247-7994 or 252-723-7997.

Help us keep our beach clean and safe. We have a beautiful beach and we need your help to keep it that way.

Sea turtles are nesting on the beach. It is important not to disturb these nests. If you see a nest, please call the police

or fire department to report it. You can also call Lilla Wiesler at 252-723-0118 to report it. She coordinates the turtle efforts in Indian Beach and Salter Path. She is also looking for individuals willing to “turtle watch” for nests. You can walk the beaches looking for nests and watch the nests for hatching.

Our fire department auxiliary is selling T-shirts. If you would like to purchase one, make contact with them.

They have many colors and sizes in which to choose.

All proceeds go to the fire department auxiliary. Help us promote our department everywhere you go.

If you or anyone you know is handicapped and would like to go to the beach, our fire department has a handicap beach chair for loan. We currently only have one so it is on a first come first serve basis. Please contact the department to check on availability.

Again, enjoy your time in Indian Beach. We hope you continue to have a safe and happy summer.

tourism BAROMETER Tourism Industry Continues to See Steady Growth TOURISM IN EASTERN North Carolina, and certainly here on the Crystal Coast, is our region’s primary economic engine. The growth of our tourism industry this past year gives us a lot to celebrate. Statewide, we attracted 52.5 million travelers from across the country because of our great tourist destinations. The money they spent while visiting supported nearly 200,000 jobs and more than 40,000 businesses. We can be proud that the quality of North Carolina’s travel experiences makes us the sixth most visited state in the nation: Domestic travelers spent a record $20.2 billion in 2013, up from $19.4 billion in 2012. That’s an increase of 4.1 percent.

• In 2013, total visitor volume was 52.5 million, up nearly 16 percent from 2012.

• For every $1 invested by the Division of Tourism in paid media advertising, North Carolina receives $191 in new visitor spending. For every $1 invested by the Division of Tourism in paid media advertising, one trip is generated to the state.

• Visitors to North Carolina generated more than $3 billion in federal, state and local taxes in 2013.

• Direct tourism employment in North Carolina increased nearly 2.1 percent, to 197,700. The majority of the growth was in lodging, transportation, food service and retail employment.

• Direct tourism payroll increased 3.8 percent to $4.6 billion.

ISLAND REVIEW • July 2014

• Visitors spend more than $55 million per day in North Carolina. That spending adds more than $4.4 million per day to state and local tax revenues (about $2.8 million in state taxes and $1.6 million in local taxes).

• Each North Carolina household saves $435 in state and local taxes as a direct result of visitor spending in the state.

What’s the trend in domestic travel? Visitors are looking for unique experiences, not just destinations. Connecting with the locals and getting the inside track on things to do and off-the-beaten path places to go. Experiences they can share with their friends.

Here on the Crystal Coast, our occupancy tax figures are up a healthy 4 percent from last year. This is partly due to the small-scale room tax collected that has become very prevalent, especially in the western part of the county. Also, advanced reservations are way ahead of this time last year.

There are several reasons for this increase – continued marketing and promotional efforts on behalf of the Crystal Coast Tourism Authority, friendly hospitable staff at area businesses welcoming our guests with a warm smile and engaging conversations, lots of free family-friendly activities, natural scenic beauty including 85 miles of pristine coastline and waterfront boardwalks, delicious fresh seafood and unique historic attractions.

We look forward to another banner tourism year! As more people discover our area they realize what we’ve always known – that there’s no better place than the beautiful Crystal Coast!

The Buddy Surf Tournament Planned for Atlantic Beach

O

ne of Bogue Banks most beloved events returns to the Oceana Pier in Atlantic Beach this summer, after two years in Emerald Isle. The Buddy Pelletier Memorial Longboard Classic takes over the seashore July 26-27, luring amateurs and professionals alike for a little friendly competition in a variety of categories.

“We are excited that The Buddy is coming home to Atlantic Beach,” said Mayor Trace Cooper. “For over a decade the event was hosted in AB. As it grew into one of the premier longboard events in the country, it enhanced the long history of surfing in our town. We are honored to host amateur and professional surfers from all over here in Atlantic Beach and look forward to showing them some Southern hospitality and, hopefully, some good waves as well.”

For many, this mid-summer contest has become a tradition, not only for the prime chance to catch a few waves, but also to pay homage to the competition’s namesake, Buddy Pelletier. A top-ranked professional surfer and three-time winner of the Puerto Rican National Longboard Championship, Pelletier came home to the Crystal Coast in the early 1990s to spend his final days with friends and family before succumbing to cancer. It is through those same friends and family members, as well as new ones made along the way, that his legacy lives on through the nonprofit Buddy Pelletier Surfing Scholarship Foundation, which provides humanitarian aid and scholarships to the surfing community.

“Like many Atlantic Beach residents, I’m proud to have one of the Buddy Pelletier Surfing Foundation license plates on my car. The proceeds from these license plates and the other fundraising events coordinated by the Foundation provide for scholarships and other community support for our surfing community,” said Mayor Cooper. “The community-focused mission of The Buddy is what makes it such a special tournament. All the participants are there to surf and want to win, but everybody realizes that they are serving the greater good. The sense of community and camaraderie is amazing.”

Longboards, unlike their shorter counterparts, allow competitors to ride even the smallest of waves, leaving onlookers with plenty of action to take in and giving entrants the opportunity to showcase their skill. While adult boards measure about nine feet, junior boards must be three feet longer than the youngster’s height. The annual competition is sanctioned by the Eastern Surfing Association and sponsored by AB Surf Shop. Entry fees are $25 for all age divisions, plus $100 for the open pro heat.

Surfing begins each day at 7am and generally lasts until 5pm on Saturday, while awards are usually given out at 3pm on Sunday. Spectators are invited to linger for a while or spend a full day on the beach. But make sure you hang around long enough to enjoy the beach party and live music on Saturday night.

turtle tracks THE EMERALD ISLE Sea Turtle Protection Program volunteers are always happy to see so much public interest in the sea turtle program. Today, many beach visitors bring their computers along with them and are very adept in linking to the internet. Therefore, we feel that it is reasonable to give those folks a bit of a heads up on how to learn more about the turtles and the program. Follow the few simple steps given below: Visit seaturtle.org for a wealth of information. If visitors choose the “affiliate” option in the top navigation bar, they can access information about the NC Sea Turtle Project. Scroll down to find information on the news and events as well as online nest reporting (STNMS), Then scroll down the page until you see “News and Events” in the middle of the page. A little box tells you the total number of North Carolina nests to date.

Click on the STNMS link and you will be in the “Sea Turtle Nest Monitoring System” with all sorts of data in tables and pie graphs. Visitors will be able to see how many nests have been reported on every beach in the state, how many eggs have been reported in nests that were moved. There is also a link to the results in past years for comparison.

We hope that you find the page useful and interesting.

You can become your family’s sea turtle expert with just a few strokes of the computer keyboard.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes

Summer Safety WELCOME TO THE summer of 2014! Every year we are stunned by the tragedies that occur during the summer. I am going to take a few minutes to remind you of some safety issues and tips, and if this is your first time at the Crystal Coast, these are “must” items to remember.

One of the great things that first brought me to the Crystal Coast was the fact that the sun is on the beach all day – because our beach looks south. This is North Carolina’s south coast! Highway 58 (Salter Path Road) runs parallel to the beach so the sun has a pretty good chance, twice a day, to be in your eyes while driving. With all the bikers, runners and walkers next to the highway, it’s extremely important to pay attention and not be distracted with other activities. The crosswalks we have installed over the past year have helped many walkers and drivers, and I hope there are a couple more crosswalks before the year is out, but caution again must prevail.

We have a flag coloring system at each of our beach accesses that indicate the swimming conditions. There are four different colored flags. First off is a “green” flag. This means conditions are good for water activity. “Yellow” means you should exercise caution. “Red” is a warning that it may not be safe for anyone – even the best of swimmers – to go in the water and “black” is a warning to stay out of the water. We try our best to keep the flags up-to-date with changing conditions.

If you are not familiar with rip currents it doesn’t matter what color the flag is. You need to read the warning signs or google rip currents so you know how to react to them and what NOT to do. Respect the power of the ocean.

Mayor Ken Jones

We have at least five seasons here at the beach. There is winter, spring, summer, fall and hurricane season. Hurricane season is from June 1 to Nov. 30. The peak is around September. Take all weather watches and warnings very seriously. Be prepared!

If you do not have a re-entry pass they can be obtained at the Pine Knoll Shores Public Safety Building located on Salter Path Road. This pass is for property owners and/or residents of our town. We do use them, and we do turn people away if they don’t have one! Make this your first step in your storm preparedness plan.

During this month of July we will be having a career fair of sorts where we will be accepting applications for volunteer firefighters and VIPS (Volunteers in Public Safety). As I write this in May, we will be announcing a date soon for our recruiting effort.

Next month we’ll talk some hurricane specifics, I also hope to talk about our two new stretches of sidewalk, and tell you who was the 2014 second quarter, “Team Member of the Quarter.”

Until then … surf’s up!

the DIVOT Summer is in Full Swing WITH JULY 4TH right around the corner all of the golf courses in our area are in the best condition of the season. During the month of July bring out your family and friends out to one of the great golf courses in our area and enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature of the courses in Carteret County. All of our area courses offer golf lessons so you can improve your golf game or learn to play.

Golf Tip of the Month Last month we talked about the secret to downhill putts to knock shots off of your score and make you a better player.

This month is the bump and run chip shot. Let’s say you hit your approach shot over the green and it goes down a hill. Try hitting a bump and run chip-shot to get the golf ball back on the green.

For this shot try using a 7 Iron and play the ball back in your stance and choke-down on the grip for better control.

Keep your head steady and hit the golf ball into the side of the hill and it will jump up on the green. For the best results keep your wrist stiff.

For more techniques of the bump and run chip-shot and to improve your scores sign-up for a free bump and run chip shot clinic which will be held on Wednesday, July 16 at 4pm.

Call 252-726-1034, ext. 10 to sign-up.

club news PKS Women’s Club “EVERY DAY IS a holiday, every meal is a banquet.” So began Ray Harris, guest speaker at the May meeting of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club. An inspirational speaker, Harris encouraged the group to “change our thoughts and thereby change our lives.” We should never give anyone the power to “mess up our day,” he said. Ninety-nine percent of dealing with life is attitude, according to Harris.

The highlight of his talk was a video featuring Dewitt Jones, a renowned photojournalist and regular contributor to National Geographic, who encourages us to look at the ordinary and see the extraordinary. Much as a photographer chooses the right lens to capture a moment in time, Jones demonstrated that by reframing problems into opportunities we can break the patterns of thinking that often become our prisons. We always need to tap into our creativity by looking for alternative answers to problems and life situations. Try different perspectives to find another right answer – don’t stop at the initial right answer as there are many ways to address a problem, much as there are many angles from which to take a photograph. Often, the alternative angle is the one that makes all the difference.

Members of the Women’s Club were on hand at the Mile of Hope event held along Bogue Banks in May where children and their families facing the challenges of childhood cancer had the opportunity to change their focus from their disease to sandcastles, seawater, kites and hot dogs. At this 24th annual event, sponsored by the Optimist Club of Raleigh, Ed and Sally Moore and local businesses on Bogue Banks, the children and their families were able to change their perspective away from hospitals and treatments by enjoying fun-filled activities. Club members were inspired by the children’s delighted reaction to the weekend and their bravery in the face of the challenges they face.

In June, club officers for the 2014-2015 program year were installed at a festive luncheon at the Coral Bay Club. Bobbie Hill and Pegge Knecht will continue in their roles as president and vice president, respectively, as will Marion Kutzer as treasurer. Joining the executive board are Mary Nichols as recording secretary and Peggy Yaeck as corresponding secretary.

Following a brief summer hiatus, club activities and regular membership meetings will continue in September.

Meetings are usually held the fourth Friday of the month at the town hall. Guests and prospective members are always welcome to attend. Meeting dates and times are posted in the local media. Enjoy the summer and remember to change your perspective and tap into your creativity!

of the year, “Tablescapes,” was presented to members and guests. Seven card tables were set up and decorated by a garden club member using various themes, including Beach Evening, Christmas in Finland and Happy Birthday. Susan King’s “Beach Evening” included an informal aestromeris centerpiece, a burlap accent to her tablecloth, Wine Rolf glass tumblers, Fiesta Tika dinnerware by Lotus, and Reed & Barton’s Seashells design flatware. Lana Hathaway’s “Sea’s the Moment” was a casual luncheon table featuring square, deep blue dishes with a fish design, navy blue napkins tucked inside of seashell and rope napkin rings, all complimented with starfish and seashell decorations. Sheryl Woodbury created “Fine Dining in the Sixties” with formal off white Olympia dinnerware, Reed & Barton’s Tapestry silverware, Royal Dalton’s Sonnet wine and water goblets and two beautiful candles.

Donna Balenger’s table “Aqua Seas” wore an aqua tablecloth with a shell design, napkins with a colorful floral design nestled inside napkin rings created from tiny seashells, Reed& Barton Seashell crystal and a centerpiece of daisies and campanula. Helvi Larson designed a Finland Christmas table with bright red and green tablecloths and napkins. Her English stoneware dishes were Wilton’s Armatale and at Christmastime would hold a typical Finish roast salmon. Two lovely silver chargers held the plates and a bevy of tiny Finish elves guarded the table.

Jean McDanal and Karen Zaenker described the contents of the huge gift the garden club is donating to the Kayak for Warriors auction held in June. Environmental chairman Jan Corsello shared four useful gardening hints: Re-use old baskets as linings for hanging baskets, prune shrubs immediately after their flowering, coleus shoots thrive in water or wet dirt and it’s okay to cut away daffodil leaves if they have lain there for two weeks after the flowers have died It is with deep regret and much sadness that we report the death of Vivian Macdonald, one of the club’s founding members who was president in 1977 and 1985 and our parliamentarian for many years. She will be greatly missed by all of our garden club members and the entire community.

President Belanger thanked Martha Edwards, Lana Hathaway, Susan King and their committees for the many hours and hard work they have put in to making our town gardens so beautiful!
