coasting BHA Summer Party 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 9.

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.

Beaufort Grocery Company will be providing the food with a menu inspired by the sea, while a full bar is available as well as a special signature drink to welcome guests at the start of the party by Committee Co-Chair Doug Brady.

The Summer Party will feature live music by Raleigh band Punch. The eight piece band plays everything from 70s funk and Motown to today’s Top 40 pop hits. The high energy group will have everyone on the dance floor.

Complementing the fabulous food, drinks, and music will be both live and silent auctions. This year’s auction will be hosted online; start bidding early at www.beauforthistoricsite. org. Over 100 items will be featured including tickets to the Broadway show “Hamilton,” a sport fishing trip on a 55’ Jarrett Bay and a vacation rental of a Front Street home.

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.

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 life in the fort. Activities include military drill and weapons demonstrations, as well as firing some of the large artillery pieces located in the fort.

There are several opportunities for visitors of all ages to join in with the reenactors during the day in the form of interactive activities including drilling on the parade ground and a narrated Women’s fashion show. A small skirmish is scheduled for 1:30pm to show how the fort’s defenses were designed to withstand a land based attack. Displays of uniforms and flags from the civil war will also be available for viewing.

For more information, visit www.ncparks.gov/fort-maconstate-park.

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 14-15. 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.

Storytelling Fest Returns The 13th annual Storytelling Festival will be held at 10am on July 6, July 13, July 20 and July 27 at the Crystal Coast Civic Center in Morehead City and at 2pm at the Bethlehem Methodist Church in Bogue. Professional storytellers will delight children of all ages with their wonderful stories.

Performers this year include No Sleeves Magic (6th), Jess Willis (13th), Bright Star Touring Theater (20th) and Claire Ramsey (27th) For more information contact Carteret County Public Library at 252-728-2050 or visit the library’s website at carteret. cpclib.org.

Reenactment at Fort Macon See history come to life with a reenactment at Fort Macon on Saturday and Sunday, July 16-17 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.

A Little Horse Sense Cape Lookout National Seashore is pleased to announce the first Horse Sense and Survival trip of 2016, which will be offered as one of several Ranger-led tours on a day that honors Cape Lookoutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th Anniversary and the National Park Service Centennial. This opportunity will depart from the Harkers Island Visitor Center on Saturday, June 18 at 1:30pm.

The tour is led by Cape Lookout National Seashore Wildlife Biologist Dr. Sue Stuska, whose intimate knowledge of the horses makes for an exciting and enlightening glimpse into the relationships, behavior, and survival of these wild animals. Participants will gain an appreciation of all that can be gleaned while watching from a distance. They will understand how to determine an appropriate position and distance for watching that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t affect the horsesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; natural behaviors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a great opportunity for visitors to see and learn about the wild horses,â&#x20AC;? said Superintendent Patrick Kenney. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Shackleford horses are an important part of what makes Cape Lookout National Seashore a special place.â&#x20AC;?

Join Dr. Stuska for a ferry ride from Harkers Island and a moderate-level walking trip to find horses and settle down

to watch them.

Come prepared for a day in the sun and for walking through dunes and brush in deep sand. Trips from Harkers Island are likely to include slogging through ankledeep mud and deeper salt water. Shoes which protect your feet and stay on in the mud are required. Visitors should also plan for the excursion by bringing along water, snacks, bug repellent, sunscreen, sun hat, binoculars, and camera with a telephoto lens in a daypack or shoulder bag.

The National Park Service will offer Horse Sense and Survival excursions on: Saturday, July 9, Saturday, July 30, Wednesday, Sept. 14, Saturday, Oct. 15, Saturday, Oct. 29 and Saturday, Nov. 26. Spaces on the tours are limited and reservations are required. The only charge is the ferry fee: $16 for adults & $9 for children (11 and under).

For more information, including meeting places, times, and ferry costs, see visit go.nps.gov/pxqou7 or call the park at 252-728-2250, ext. 3001.

BAD THINKS HAPPEN to good people, especially in a John Hart novel, really bad things. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redemption Roadâ&#x20AC;? is the latest offering by this North Carolina writer who has won a wide audience and two Edgar Awards for Best Novel. In â&#x20AC;&#x153;Redemption Roadâ&#x20AC;? Hart has created a super suspenseful mystery/ thriller with a cast of vile villains and pure victims. This could very well be his best work yet.

From the first few pages to the very end Hart keeps readers guessing and dares one to put down this book without knowing what will happen next. The suspense is so intense and the characters so interesting the story is boldly gripping. A troubled detective, a newly released prisoner, a strict preacher, a gutsy young girl, a child set on vengeance and a great supporting cast make this a novel about people with agendas that promise conflict.

In addition to the intriguing story there is the masterful writing which assures this to be a best seller for many months.

Hartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prose is worthy of classic status, and his wide vocabulary is a major contribution to the power of this mystery. The style is, however, so very clear. One sentence can explain so much such as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He would say sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d broken trust, and that everything flowed from that single poor decision, the basement, the dead brothers, her career.â&#x20AC;?

Set in North Carolina the places are vague, yet readers will identify with the feel of the settings. An abandoned church, a murky swamp, a foreboding prison and abandoned farm are all the places we know well in passing. They are also places of unbelievable horrors when John Hart employs them to enhance his story. He has a knack for making the reader feel the need to move on to another location as soon as possible.

By the title one would assume there is a religious influence in the novel. Indeed there is, an approach with deep psychological insights. The meaning of redemption depends on the one using the term. For some it is a positive outcome arising from peace made with the almighty. For others it means punishment as a way of atoning for sins. The secrets and betrayals of this story require an outcome deeply entwined with faith. Travel this road with John Hart and you will find your faith in powerful fiction renewed.

county perspective Carteret County Examines Ways to Improve Compatibility with Marine Corps Operations ONE FOCUS OF the Cherry Point Joint Land Use Study (JLUS) was to look at training facilities in Carteret County that serve Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point.

Chief among them is Marine Corps Auxiliary Landing Field Bogue (MCALF Bogue), also known as Bogue Field. It is an 875-acre landing field that serves as the Marine Corps’ only East Coast site for Field Carrier Landing Practice; pilots perform night-time simulated landings on an aircraft carrier.

Bogue Field is located off Hwy 24 in the Town of Bogue, between Goose Creek and Cape Carteret. Bogue Field is partially surrounded by residential housing, so training is largely restricted after 11pm. The JLUS report states: “While the public has become accustomed to this, the reality is that Bogue Field is a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week training area, and its mission is integral to the capability of the Marine Expeditionary Forces stationed in North Carolina.”

The Marine Corps has concerns about the residences located within airfield Accident Potential Zones. A portion of the Town of Emerald Isle, across Bogue Sound, is affected as well.

“The challenge is to retain residential density at existing levels through the use of existing voluntary and regulatory tools,” the JLUS study team noted. “Long term, the counties and municipalities of the study area will need to develop new land use and management techniques and establish incentive and acquisition programs to lower residential densities over time.”

Natural buffers are a good way to curtail encroachment on Cherry Point, and the federal government is the largest single land owner in the area around Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point with more than 200,000 acres in land holdings.

This creates “a significant and valuable buffer for MCAS Cherry Point and its air training operations,” the study team reported.

Croatan National Forest (160,000 acres), Cedar Island Natural Wildlife Refuge (15,500 acres) and Cape Lookout National Seashore (28,000 acres) “are all focused on protecting and maintaining natural, undeveloped landscapes and habitats.”

The North Carolina Sentinel Landscapes Partnership is a collaborative effort between the Marine Corps and the NC Dept. of Agriculture. Its three tenets of compatibility are “keeping land in forestry and agriculture, limiting tall structures and pre-

venting upward shining lights.”

Focusing on the first tenet, presently 16 percent of the land around Cherry Point is considered “permanent open space,” and 69 percent is categorized as “agriculture or undeveloped.” This includes almost all of Down East Carteret County, which is dominated by Open Grounds Farm.

With 57,000 acres, it is the largest farm in America east of the Mississippi River. Open Grounds Farm is practically a neighbor of both Marine Corps Outlying Field Atlantic (MCOLF Atlantic), also known as Atlantic Field, and Bombing Target Piney Island (BT-11).

The JLUS report suggests that an inventory of environmental resources as natural buffers be compiled and future conservation opportunities identified. This is valuable information that could reduce future conflict between the Marine Corps and the surrounding communities.

Another suggestion is to ask MCAS Cherry Point to partner with Croatan National Forest, the US Forest Service, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the NC Forest Service and the NC Wildlife Resources Commission to jointly plan and coordinate prescribed burnings of forestlands.

“Controlled burns are necessary to maintain the longleaf pine and pocosin ecosystems or the region, improve habitat quality and reduce the risk of wildfires,” the report says.

Nonetheless, smoke affects visibility and air quality.

(Next time, we’ll focus on tall structures and “Dark Skies.”)

ISLAND REVIEW 15

chamber connection Chamber Opposes ‘Overtime Rule’ Change THE BOARD OF Directors of the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce is urging Congress to pass S. 2707 and HR 4773 – the Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act – to defund, block and otherwise nullify the Obama administration’s executive fiat to change America’s overtime rule.

The Congressional bills would effectively prevent the US Dept. of Labor (DOL) from implementing its new overtime regulation, which dramatically increases the salary threshold for exempt employee status, from $23,660 to $47,476.

The rule change means an estimated 4.2 million workers will lose salaried employment status and be “reclassified” by the federal government as hourly workers.

As it now stands, the effective date for the new overtime rule is Dec. 1, and employers will be required to pay overtime to those employees who work more than 40 hours per week.

“Industries and organizations all across the country – particularly small businesses and not-for-profit agencies and organizations – will face drastic increases in labor costs as a result of the Obama administration’s edict,” noted Chamber Board Chair Bucky Oliver.

“These added costs to employers will force reductions in services offered to customers, clients and members … while ushering in massive job cuts,” he said.

“We encourage members of Congress to do everything in

their power to nullify this rule and defund any future efforts to implement the final rule.

The chamber commends US Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina for being a co-sponsor of the Senate bill. He is correct in his analysis: “I do not believe that making more employees eligible for overtime pay will lead to more income, but rather fewer jobs.”

Senator Tillis also notes: “Most employers aren’t sitting around on a pile of cash just waiting to be told by the federal government to hand it over to their employees. Mandates for higher pay will require these already struggling small businesses to lay off or reduce the hours for workers they can no longer afford.”

“That, indeed, is the crux of the matter,” Oliver stated.

The chamber also applauds US Rep. Walter Jones, who represents Carteret County, for agreeing to co-sponsor the House bill.

On May 10, the chamber board unanimously approved a Resolution of Opposition to Changing the Federal Overtime Rule. (All 21 voting members of the board voted in favor of the Resolution.) Access the Resolution at www.nccoastchamber.com.

How to Adjust to a Healthier Diet CHANGE OFTEN REQUIRES an adjustment period. Men and women who switch jobs may need a few weeks before they feel fully comfortable in a new office, while students changing schools may also need some time to adapt to their new surroundings.

An adjustment period is also common when people decide to adopt healthier diets. Diet can be habit-forming and men and women will need some time to adjust as they kick some bad dietary habits in favor of healthier fare. The following are some simple ways to make that adjustment period a little easier to swallow.

Go slowly. Some people are capable of going cold turkey when adjusting to a new diet, while others must take a more gradual approach. Unless a health condition that requires immediate change is driving your dietary changes, take things slowly so your body acclimates to its new diet over time. Such an approach may make your efforts more successful over the long haul than making more sudden, drastic changes. For example, suddenly cutting your daily calorie intake in half may force you into old, unhealthy habits when hunger pangs inevitably arise. But gradually reducing your caloric intake over time may make it easier for your body to adjust, decreasing the likelihood that you will relapse into bad habits.

Explain your motivation to loved ones. Adults, especially married men and women and parents, may find adjusting to a new diet especially difficult unless their spouses and/or families are making similar adjustments. If you are the only

member of your household who will be adjusting to a new diet, explain your efforts and motivation to your loved ones.

Such an explanation will make them less likely to bring unhealthy foods into your home. In addition, your loved ones can prove an invaluable source of support as you make this big adjustment in your life.

Embrace positive results, even if they are initially underwhelming. Just because you have adopted a new diet does not mean you will see immediate results. Fad diets meant to last just a few weeks may produce immediate results, but such results likely will not withstand the test of time, and you may even gain weight when you revert to some of your old eating habits. The right diet will produce long-lasting results, but you must allow for some time before such diets lead to significant weight loss. In the meantime, place more emphasis on how you feel than the figure that shows up on your bathroom scale each morning. Upon adopting a healthier diet, you will start to notice how much better you feel than you felt when eating a diet filled with fatty, unhealthy foods.

Remind yourself of this extra hop in your step as you continue on the path to a healthier lifestyle.

Don’t give up. Your adjustment period will require some discipline, and there may be moments when you backslide into bad habits. If that happens, don’t allow it to derail all of the progress you have made since switching to a healthier diet. Just accept that you had a setback and resolve to do your best to avoid having another one. The sooner you get back on a healthier track, the better you will feel.

shorelines 2016 Hurricane Season Preview WHILE THE SPATE of hurricane predictions announced this time of year does underscore the need to be prepared, which is a very important message; it’s also not difficult to become overwhelmed with all the terminology and statistics being thrown casually about. To this end, the following is presented as a tropical cyclone demystification primer and a one-stop synthesis of all the “pre-season” predictions – we’ll take a look back in time as well.

Of course the hurricane season officially runs for a 6-month window opening on June 1 and sun-setting on Nov. 30; yet the formation of a cyclone outside the 6-month designation is not outside the realm of possibility. We only need to point to this year as an example – Alex formed on Jan. 13 and Bonnie formed on May 27. However climatology shows early season cyclone activity does not foreshadow an active hurricane season. In fact, forecasters are predicting a “near normal” hurricane season for 2016 based predominantly on the anticipated transition from the 2015-2016 strong El Niño event to La Niña conditions within the next few months.

Because El Niño is considered the main driver for this year’s hurricane season (as usual), it’s worth diving into this phenomenon a little more. El Niño is actually 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. 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 5 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 have exited the 2015-16 El Niño and are in an “ENSO neutral phase” with the likelihood of La Niña conditions developing sometime within the 2016 hurricane season. While La Niña conditions have the potential to develop over the next few months, the far North Atlantic and subtropical eastern Atlantic sea surface temperatures are quite cold. These cold water 28 ISLAND REVIEW

anomalies tend to force atmospheric conditions that are less conducive for Atlantic hurricane formation and intensification.

Bottom line – although a “near normal” hurricane season is predicted, there is considerable uncertainty as to what ENSO conditions will exactly be during the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season from August to October (i.e., will La Niña conditions even be here?), and how Atlantic sea surface temperatures will also vary.

Hurricane Vocabulary Now that we reviewed ENSO in great detail, there are also plenty of terms that you will likely hear or have already heard this hurricane season - cyclones, tropical storms, hurricanes, and more. For instance, Sandy in 2012 turned extratropical and Alex earlier this year started off as a subtropical cyclone – what does this mean? The following should help in our general understanding of these terms and other.

Tropical cyclone – Warm-core, atmospheric closed circulation rotating counter-clockwise 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 US 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 U.S. 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).

Now to account for some of the weather oddballs, we also need to include; 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.

Note: Both subtropical and extratropical cyclones have the highest winds and thunderstorms a good distance away from the center, and may have frontal boundaries associated with the systems. The two (extra- and subtropical) are usually broader systems than a tropical system, but the subtropical system will produce more rain compared to an extratropical one.

starts and begin to crunch the numbers. As the accompanying prediction summary table indicates, we could expect 15 named cyclones, 7 of which will generate into hurricanes, with 3 of these becoming a major hurricane (on average).

The average of the predictions result in a forecast bordering on the very upper end of a near normal hurricane season, which is actually determined by looking at term we haven’t discussed yet – the Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index (ACE Index). The ACE Index is simply a measurement taking a storm’s wind speed strength for each 6-hour period of its existence into account. The larger the ACE Index value, the more active the season. The ACE Index is actually one of the more revealing parameters we can use and serves as a What to Expect for 2016 better barometer of whether or not a hurricane season is truly In a recent blog post, Weather Underground’s Dr. Jeff Masactive or not. This past decade has some great examples to support this assertion. ters neatly summarized a total of nine different Atlantic HurFor instance 2012, 2011 and 2010 are tied with 1995 and ricane predictions – and that’s just scratching the surface of 1887 for the third-most named cyclones in one year at ninethe nearly two dozen predictions out there (wow). However, teen. However the ACE Index Values were different. Why? if you’re a frequent reader of the Island Review, then you In 2012 we had 10 of the 19 cyclones develop into hurricanes will already know our preference is to review the predictions (ACE=128), while only 7 of the 19 cyclones developed into produced by groups that make not just their forecasts public, hurricanes in 2011 (ACE=119). In 2010 we had the highest but verify their prediction skill in the public arena as well. This ACE value of these past consecutive three years (ACE = really leaves us with; (1) the Tropical Meteorology Project at 163) with 12 of the 19 cyclones developing into hurricanes, Colorado State University, (2) the University College London, including the particularly intense and long-lasting Hurricane UK for Tropical Storm Risk, and (3) our federal voice for cliIgor that had an ACE value/contribution of 42 in itself. This all matology/meteorology matters, the National Oceanic & Atmomakes sense because again the mathematical formula takes spheric Administration (NOAA). We then take these groups’ each cyclone’s wind speed and duration into account. last prediction before or near when the hurricane season Also as an interesting note, the highest ACE Index ever recorded was roughly a decade ago in 2005 – a hurricane season punctuated by more tropical storms, total hurricanes and category 5 hurricanes than in any season previously recorded; and included Ophelia for North Carolina and the infamous major hurricanes of KaTable 1 - Summary comparing publicly available pre-season predictions for the 2016 Hurricane Season with average activity. trina, Wilma and Rita in the Gulf of Mexico. The ACE Index was 248 (that’s not a typo) compared to the historical 19812010 average of 104. Table 2 includes the ACE Index for the past 13 years and a few notes justifying each value.

In closing, by reviewing the ACE Index we can determine whether a hurricane season is termed as below normal (<68), near normal (68–106), above normal (106–168) or even hyperactive (>168).

And while most experts are indeed forecasting a near normal season for 2016 (average predicted ACE Index of 105), these forecasts 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 and 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, 4 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. So again be prepared Table 2 – ACE Index summary chart (2003 – 2015). and be safe.

SURF TOURNAMENT PLANNED FOR ATLANTIC BEACH

ONE 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 30-31, luring amateurs and professionals alike for a little friendly competition in a variety of categories.

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

s ng community,” Atlantic Beach Mayor surfi T Trace Cooper said last year. “The communityf focused mission of The Buddy is what makes it such a special tournament. All the particip pants are there to surf and want to win, but e everybody realizes that they are serving the g greater good. The sense of community and ca camaraderie is amazing.”

Longboards, unlike their shorter counterpa parts, allow competitors to ride even the smalles of waves, leaving onlookers with plenty of est ac action to take in and giving entrants the opportun to showcase their skill. While adult boards tunity me measure about nine feet, junior boards must be thre feet longer than the youngster’s height. three The annual competition is sanctioned by the Eas Eastern Surfing Association and sponsored by AB Surf Shop. Entry fees are $25 for all age divisions, plus $35 for the amateur open heat. Winner of the open takes home an Action surfboard.

On Friday evening, visitors can enjoy surf movies at the pier. 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 with music by Monjah.

Parking is available both at the pier and at the Circle, with free shuttle transportation to the venue.

A NEW SECRET has been uncovered from the depths at the NC Maritime Muse-

New Exhibit Reveals North Carolina’s Surfing Legacy

PHOTO COURTESY OF NEWS & OBSERVER

A group of young surfers in Kure Beach on July 25, 1965.

um in Beaufort. And no, it’s not the infamous Queen Ann’s Revenge. It is a new exhibit that lets visitors take the drop into North Carolina’s rich surfing past and ride the wave through its incredible historical journey to becoming a cultural and economic staple of the coastal community. The exhibit is open now, just in time for the summer surfing season.

When people picture crashing waves, patterned boards and colorful swim gear, they often imagine tropical getaways like Hawaii or the Caribbean, or far-off coastal locations in Florida and New Jersey. However, North Carolina’s Crystal Coast has nurtured a nautical secret – a surfing tradition over a century old.

There exist records of surfing on North Carolina’s coast dating back to the first decade of the twentieth century, the same time as a surfing revival in Hawaii. Then, surfboards were plain, long swaths of wood, often used for practical transportation and, on occasion, recreation. With influence from Hawaiian surfers and the growing popularity of surf culture in television and film, many of North Carolina’s coastal towns grew into burgeoning surfing communities that are alive and well today.

The treacherous tides and sneaky sandbars of North Carolina’s coast have drawn wave junkies and fans to places like Rodanthe, Cape Hatteras, Atlantic Beach, Wrightsvillle Beach and more for decades.

After nearly a century of sport, it is clear that surfing in the Crystal Coast is more than just a passing fad. The craft is surely here to stay, with North Carolina ranking as one of the most popular states for surfing.

“It’s unbelievable that North Carolina has such a massive surf following that has gone majorly unexamined,” said David Cartier, public relations coordinator for the NC Maritime Museums. “Up until last month, people could sit in the sand or take to the waters themselves to observe it. Now, they can come to the museum, too. Our new exhibit offers a dynamic look at how surfing shaped the North Carolina coast and its culture that will fascinate parents and kids alike.”

Surfing, surf shops and the tourism that they created have encouraged economic growth on both local and state levels for decades with no signs of stopping.

The exhibit features photos, videos and artifacts that document surfing history in eastern North Carolina. Visitors can observe the evolution of surfboards from plain, wooden slabs to the sleek, colorful boards that ride today’s waves. They can watch video of North Carolina’s greats shredding just off the beach, see pictures of historic surfing landmarks and look at various surfing gear from days past.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notes Expanding the Season with Music BETWEEN THE THIRD annual AB Beach Music Festival and the inaugural Crystal Coast Music Festival, the beginning of summer in Atlantic Beach has started off with a very good soundtrack. These two festivals, that featured different kinds of music, are good examples of our strategy for the future of Atlantic Beach. One festival celebrates our history by keeping Beach Music coming back to the boardwalk and the site of the former (and hopefully future) Pavilion. The other festival looks to the future with up-and-coming bands from modern music to ensure that current generations of beach goers can make new memories dancing along the boardwalk.

Both festivals featured fun music that is well suited for a day at the beach and attract large, but well-behaved, crowds.

Just as the choice of music is by design, the dates on which we host the festivals are carefully thought out. Although Memorial Day Weekend is the ceremonial start to summer, our local businesses all know that the real part of our summer season does not start until after all schools are out for summer break; this is in the middle of June. We picked dates in late May and early June in hopes of expanding our summer season. We have a vibrant mix of businesses in Atlantic Beach and in Carteret County, but I know first-hand how hard it is to operate a business in a seasonal location. Anything that we as a town or our county can do to expand the season will be a big help to our amazing community of local businesses.

And, for those of you who are second home owners, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re giving you some great excuses to spend more weekends at the beach.

Mayor Trace Cooper This same approach of moving forward while celebrating our past is evident at our Town Park where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have two big improvements coming online in July. One is a classic beach experience â&#x20AC;&#x201C; miniature golf. The other serves the need of one of the most popular and fastest growing pastimes for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a skateboard park.

Atlantic Beach has been hosting vacationers for a long time. This history provides a strong sense of place to our town and has defined it as a classic, small town beach community.

It is this character that I believe makes Atlantic Beach so special and it is a character that we are all working to preserve.

But, as I have written before, we must also move forward. We need to be welcoming to new generations of visitors to Atlantic Beach while we maintain the character that has developed over the years.

Fortunately, these two approaches are very compatible. We will continue to move forward while keeping an eye on our past. The small town vibe that we all love is exactly the thing that will make us attractive to future visitors and homeowners.

And, when everyone is sitting on the beach in AB â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it is their first time there or their 1,000th time there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll all have a great time celebrating the beach together. We just may have different music playing on our radios.

Summer Safety – Practice Safety at the Beach A DAY AT the beach is a popular pastime for millions of people. In addition to spending hours in the surf and sun, the beach presents plenty of opportunities to see local wildlife and explore coastal ecology and bond with family and friends.

It is, however, vital that everyone observe safety measures to ensure that a good time is had by all.

Warning Flags People who frequently visit the beach will encounter various colored flags from time to time. The US Lifesaving Association, in conjunction with the International Lifesaving Federation, has developed a universal flag-warning system to alert beachgoers to potential dangers and water hazards. By taking notice of these colored flags, swimmers and the like can stay safe.

Red flags: Red flags represent some of the more serious warnings and ocean conditions. While some beachgoers still swim under a red flag, it’s best to stay on land or, if you must swim, only do so while exercising extreme caution. Two red flags indicates that a beach is closed because the water is simply too rough – even for the strongest swimmers.

Yellow flags: Yellow flags indicate high surf or dangerous currents and undertows. Extreme caution should be exercised, and it’s best to swim close to a lifeguard tower, if at all. Yellow flags also may indicate high populations of bait fish that attract predators close to swimming areas.

Green flags: Much like green is the universal color to proceed in traffic, it is a clear indication that it’s safe to enjoy the water.

Just keep in mind that the ocean is unpredictable, so exercise caution even when swimming under a green flag.

Purple/Blue flags: A purple or blue flag may fly when potentially dangerous marine life has been spotted. Although swimming may be allowed under a purple or blue flag, keep an eye trained on the water for jellyfish, predator fish and other hazards.

Wildlife With miles of open coast line, Carteret County hosts a large number of beachgoers, and with high beach traffic comes dangers that inland people aren’t accustomed to dealing with – wildlife.

The emergency department at Carteret General Hospital warns that stingrays have a sharp barb that can impale the skin and cause extreme pain. First treat the sting with water as hot as you can stand to help relieve symptoms. If the pain is extreme or the barb is still in the skin, a medical consultation may be necessary.

Jellyfish stings bring a lot of pain as well. First treat with vinegar soaks for 15-30 minutes. NEVER use regular water as it will make it worse. Regular water causes a continued release of the toxin, while the acetic acid in vinegar makes it stop.

It is rare that a human will encounter a shark in Eastern Carolina, although, encounters have definitely seen an uptick in recent years. When surfers and swimmers splash they create a visual target for wildlife searching for prey. Most attacks, officials warn, occur near shore, between sandbars and near steep drop-offs. A good rule of thumb is to avoid swimming near piers where bait scraps may be discarded, stay in groups, avoid shiny jewelry and swimming suits and never swim during dusk or twilight, high activity hours for sharks.

Waders can be at risk of cuts from the razor-like edges of oyster shells. Oyster shells have a lot of bacteria and the shells are hard to see. Medical treatment is needed to evaluate shell remains and to treat infection. Prevention is always best, warn the experts.

Water Safety The stark reality is that despite myriad safety tools, drowning is the leading cause of injury death among children ages 1-4 with three children dying every day in the country as a result of drowning. In a water emergency, every second counts, with

many happening silently and quickly before anyone even noticing.

If someone is missing, the American Red Cross recommends that you check the water first, whether youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re poolside or sitting on the beach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Throw, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t goâ&#x20AC;? is the mantra. Having a life preserver, or alerting nearby lifeguards who do, is always preferable to heading into the water yourself to make a rescue. There have been numerous reported cases of rescuers themselves getting caught in rip currents and pulled away from shore.

An active drowning victim may be vertical in the water but unable to move or tread water. They may attempt to press down with their arms at their sides in an attempt to keep their head above the water line. Never assume that a swimmer in distress is joking or playing around, the Red Cross warns.

The tried and true safety rules continue to be the same: â&#x20AC;˘ Make sure your children knows how to swim and set limits for them. â&#x20AC;˘ Have children wear a life jacket â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but never rely on it to babysit. â&#x20AC;˘ Never leave children alone in or near the water. â&#x20AC;˘ Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dive into shallow water. â&#x20AC;˘ If you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t swim, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let your feet leave the ground.

Drop offs are common. â&#x20AC;˘ Stay alert for changes in the weather and ocean. â&#x20AC;˘ Watch for rip currents â&#x20AC;˘ Be prepared, learn CPR. An estimated 80 percent of beach rescues are attributed to rip currents, according to the US Lifesaving Association.

These strong, narrow currents moving away from shore, are hazardous not only for new swimmers, but for strong, experienced swimmers as well. More than 100 people die annually from drowning in rip currents say recent National Weather Service statistics.

Swimmers may find that rip currents are more pronounced around rock jetties, piers and docks. Despite a strong swim stroke, those caught in a rip current find it hard to make it back to beach. The NWS recommends that if caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore until out of the current, then turn toward the beach.

Beachgoers should remain aware of all posted warnings and exercise extreme caution anytime they swim in the ocean.

ISLAND REVIEW 47

Maximize Your Farmer’s Market Trip COMMUNITY-BASED FARMER’S markets can introduce shoppers to an array of foods they may otherwise never experience. Farmer’s markets are great places to find fresh, locally grown foods, and many market customers are happy to know they’re benefitting both the environment and local businesses with every dime they spend.

One of the great things about living in Eastern North Carolina is that you don’t necessarily have to wait until Saturday or Sunday to enjoy farm-fresh produce. With a plethora of roadside stands and the popular Friendly Market open daily, fresh fruits and veggies are often much closer than we realize. Plus, these family-run businesses can offer a variety of other goodies, including homemade treats, gifts and free recipes.

Markets can range from the very large to relatively small, and first-time visitors may not know where to begin. The following are a handful of ways to maximize your visit to farmer’s markets of all sizes.

• Take time to explore. Farmer’s markets tend to have many of the same fruits and vegetables you can find at the local chain grocery store, but farmer’s markets also are known for offering more than what you may find in the produce aisle. Take time to explore the market and you may just find foods you typically only find at your favorite restaurant.

Exploring also may introduce you to new foods you may otherwise never have tried.

• Consider the timing of your visit. The popularity of farmer’s markets has increased dramatically as more and more people embrace the concept of buying locally grown foods. While that’s great news for the planet and local farmers, shoppers should keep that in mind when planning their visits. If you love trying new foods, arrive early to the farmer’s market before the more unique offerings have been snapped up. Foods that have small yet devoted followings may not be available in abundance, and you may end up leaving empty-handed if you arrive late. If it’s a bargain you want, then visit later in the day when farmers with substantial remaining inventory may be more inclined to lower their prices.

• Know your seasons. Some fruits and vegetables are better at certain times of the year than others. Freshness draws many people to farmer’s markets, and foods that are in-season are more likely to have that unforgettable freshness than those that are out of season or nearing the end of their season. Knowing the seasons is important for budgetconscious shoppers as well. If you’re shopping on a budget, purchasing foods while they’re in season may save you some money, and you can always stock up on your other favorites later on when it’s their turn to be in-season.

• Speak with the sellers. First-time farmer’s market shoppers may feel like they’re lost in the woods while everyone else seems to know exactly what they want and where to get it. If you find the farmer’s market somewhat intimidating, speak with the sellers.

Shopping at the local farmer’s market tends to be more intimate than shopping at the chain grocery store, and many sellers would be happy to offer you some tips and make some suggestions based on the meals you like.

Farmer’s markets are great places to support local businesses and find fresh fruits and vegetables.

Volunteers Work to Save the Dunes ON AN OVERCAST and cool May 4, a group of volunteers and Emerald Isle residents planted 1,500 sea-oat seedlings at The Point in a record two-hours as part of the Save the Dunes Initiative. Volunteers included members of the Emerald Isle Garden Club, the Turtle Patrol and The Point/Wyndtree Property Owners Association. Paul Schwartz and Carl Klee coordinated The Point 2016 project on behalf of the Initiative, spearheaded and led by Carla Stevens and Kevin Geraghty, with support from Emerald Isle Town Manager Frank Rush and a donation by Dr. Charles Mess, who owns the octagonal house by The Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrance ramp.

Save the Dunes Initiative originated in 2011 when the NC Aquarium asked for volunteers to plant sea oats at the Western Beach Access. About 500 unused plants were given to Carla Stevens to be planted in front of Lands End eastern walkway.

Two years later, the seedlings helped to build a sizable frontal dune. With this success in mind, in January 2015 Kevin Geraghty and Carla Stevens proposed a sea oats planting project for Emerald Isle. Frank Rush suggested the beach access at The Point.

Save the Dunes Initiative aims to: rebuild dune structure where needed and raise awareness of how dunes protect our beaches.

Emerald Isle must safeguard its greatest asset - its crystal blue waters and beautiful beaches â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with environment-friendly efforts like this one.

Volunteering for the Initiative is easy, lots of fun, a great way to catch up with neighbors and make new friends. It takes two minutes to learn what to do, and at end of a planting session, Carla Stevens offers scrumptious, homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a terrific way to learn about ocean/dune preservation, a hands-on opportunity for the young and young-at-heart alike.

The ideal time for planting sea oats is early May for successful growth, according to Steve Mercer of Coastal Transplants, although planting can be done as late as October.

In addition to The Point planting (the first took place in 2015), a number of oceanfront homeowners have asked to be considered for 2016 plantings. Many have erected sand fences, a good first step. Save the Dunes Initiative will prioritize plantings, starting with the Town of Emerald Isle, followed by Home Owners Associations (HOAs), and then individual homeownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; oceanfront properties, depending on the availability of resources and volunteers.

Cost includes the purchase of sea oats for about $.60/plant delivered, with a minimum order of 300 plants, plus slow-release fertilizer and signage. Projects will be funded by the Town of Emerald Isle, HOAs, property owners and private donations.

Why should we help build and protect dune structures? Em-

50 ISLAND REVIEW

July 2016

erald Isle is built on rock with a Continental Shelf that slopes at a very slight angle away from our beaches, one of the Islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great advantages. Since the size of a wave is directly proportional to the depth of the water, a shallow slope matters a lot when it comes to wave erosion. For example, a 40-foot depth can generate a 35-40-foot wave, depending on tides and winds. Fortunately, here such depths occur several miles from shore. By the time large waves arrive on shore, they dwindle down to a range of two to four feet. The slope of our Continental Shelf is our first line of defense against storm damage.

The second line is the frontal dune structure, which protects all the vegetation zones and benefits the entire island. As fine sand catches onto sea oat reeds, it builds up dunes. Each season dune width and height increase in a seaward direction toward the source of blowing sand. Sea oats are native to our coast and produce rhizomes or runners that allow new plants to multiply and grow. This is how they catch more sand and continue to build the dunes. Everyone who uses the beach can leave a smaller footprint by staying off the dunes.

A second planting of 600 sea oats took place on May 18 at Lands End Clubhouse and a third planting of 450 sea oats was held on May 28 near the Lands End east walkway.

Homeownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s associations and individual homeowners interested in rebuilding their immediate dunes in 2017 should contact Carla Stevens or Kevin Geraghty. The HOA or the individual homeowner acts as project coordinator for their project and will be responsible for the purchase of the plants. They will receive guidelines and help from the Save the Dunes team.

Please contact Carla Stevens (carlastvns@gmail.com, 222-764 2160) or Kevin Geraghty (kevin.e.geraghty@gmail.com, 919697-7636) if you have questions or if you would like to volunteer.

Remember: itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fun, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best way to keep our Crystal Coast beautiful for years to come.

Sea Turtle Survey by NOAA and Duke University Ongoing THE NATIONAL OCEANIC and Atmospheric Administration’s National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) and Duke University Marine Laboratory are monitoring sea turtles in the waters of the park through November. The research area includes Cape Lookout Bight and Back and Core Sounds.

Turtle monitoring in this area is conducted under a research permit granted to NMFS and Duke by the National Park Service. Cape Lookout Bight is the site of an unusually dense spring aggregation of sea turtles, making research at this time and place particularly valuable. Monitoring methods will include capture-mark-recapture, telemetry and use of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) to collect high-resolution aerial images.

According to Dr. Larisa Avens, the NMFS biologist coordinating the project, “This work will not only help us better understand the sea turtle populations that use Cape Lookout Bight each spring, but also take advantage of the large numbers of turtles in such a small area to test new methods, like UAS surveys, for doing sea turtle research.”

“This is a great opportunity for a number of organizations to work together and gather important data on sea turtles,” said Cape Lookout National Seashore Superintendent Patrick Kenney. “Visitors and area boaters might see the research vessels or the small UAS in the area this spring and summer. It’s important to understand that small UAS or drone use is prohibited at all National Park units except in

club news PKS Garden Club LAST MONTH, AFTER a brief business meeting at town hall on May 11, members piled into cars and vans and motored to Newport to the Garner family farm on Nine Mile Road.

Ken Garner was the greenhouse guide and lecturer and taught members about the myriad vital processes involved in raising plants from seed. He said that 99% of their plants are started from seeds or plugs. He illustrated their vacuum seeder in which each individual seed is placed in its own protected space, and how the sprouting seedlings are moved to different locations as they increase in size, with the temperature and humidity carefully controlled for the different plant families.

Transplanting seedlings makes them stronger. Most seeds are viable for years if kept in a cool, dry place, with the exception of zinnias and marigolds, which last only one year, as do herb and vegetable seeds. Garner’s vegetables and herbs receive no insecticides. Instead, Nemo Oil is used for protection. All other plants continuously receive small amounts of fertilizer every time they are watered, because it has been placed in their water supply.

Garner told members that all seeds are now sold in packages by the thousands instead of by the ounce. He also mentioned that morning glories and sweet potatoes share the same family, and that gerbera daisies do not produce many seeds because they are hybrids. In demonstrating the magnificent geraniums in the greenhouse, he explained that most geraniums are patented because a new, desirable strain has been produced. It can never be copied by making plant cuttings to create more of that specific variety.

The group set out for lunch in Morehead City, but stopped, en route, at The Plant Stand on Hwy 70, where they were able to purchase mature plants ready for sale.

Many hanging baskets and pots of flowers accompanied members as they headed for luncheon at The Infusion Café.

During the earlier business meeting, President Kay Howe welcomed guest, Kathy Foy. Linda Langheld told members that the club extended get well wishes to Linda Pearson, Lana Hathaway, Barbara Williams, Kay Howe and Jan Corsello on behalf of their husbands. Arleen Graczewski informed us that the order for the Blue Star Memorial marker had been placed, and that the dedication was planned for Nov. 9, the day before Veterans’ Day. Susan King requested that members donate finger food to the auction program of the Kayak for Warriors’ Day celebration.

The garden club will be on hiatus for the summer months, but members will still be tending the town gardens all summer long. In September, the club will resume regular meetings, which are held on the second Wednesday of every month at town hall at 9:30am for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day. Guests and visitors are always welcome.

PKS Women’s Club The beautiful Coral Bay Club on Bogue Banks was the venue for the June Installation Luncheon of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club. Club members enjoyed a delicious

luncheon featuring a choice of fish tacos or a summer salad topped with either grilled chicken or salmon. A sumptuous key lime pie was a showstopper dessert.

President Pegge Knecht thanked her 2015-2016 Executive Board and the chairs of over 16 committees and special interest groups for their service over the past program year and encouraged club members to step forward to chair committees for the 2016-2017 year. She provided highlights of club activities over the past year including the club’s involvement with the Mile of Hope Weekend for children undergoing cancer treatment that was organized by former President Bonnie Ferneau and the spectacular Fashion Show fundraiser chaired by Arlene Terrell and Peggy Young which raised funds to support the club’s scholarship fund.

The club will continue its involvement in these activities in the coming year. Ongoing special interest groups including Cook’s Night Out and Supper Club have been very successful activities bringing club members and their spouses together for fellowship and good food. The club’s three book clubs continue to provide opportunities for members to discuss a variety of literary genres. A special guest at the luncheon was Susan Williams, the club’s scholarship recipient who thanked the club for their ongoing support and assured the members that she is “working very hard” on her medical studies.

Former Pine Knoll Shores Club President, and former Mayor of Pine Knoll Shores, Joan Lamson was on board once again to install the 2016-2017 officers of the club. She remarked that the club members so appreciated last year’s leadership team that “they rewarded them with a second term of office!”

The following club members were installed: President Pegge Knecht, Vice President Peggy Young, Treasurer Joanne Ferguson, Recording Secretary Betty Thomas and Corresponding Secretary Ronnie Stanley.

Leadership, Joan Lamson offered, starts with saying “yes” and she applauded the club members who were willing to step forward once again saying “yes” to continue to lead the organization.

Founded in 1984 the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club has a record of community service, It continues its commitment as articulated by its founding members” to provide intellectual advancement and to promote higher social and civic conditions in the community.” Several former club presidents were present at the luncheon and they were acknowledged for their continued commitment to the club’s goals.

They included Marian Goetzinger, Arlene Terrell, Elaine Tempel, Barbara Bagby, Bonnie Ferneau and Bobbie Hill.

The luncheon was the final meeting before the summer vacation. Luncheon chairs Martha Edwards and Kay Howe were thanked for organizing such a wonderful event.

Regular club meetings resume again in September. Meetings are held at the Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall on the fourth Friday of the month except during holiday periods or special events when dates may vary. Guests and prospective members are always welcome to attend meetings.

Have a healthy, happy, fun-filled summer!

rental signs The Magnificent Fourth of July, Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Beach Holiday WHEN THE AMERICAN patriots met for the second Continental Congress in early July 1776 they adopted the stirring words authored by Thomas Jefferson that became our beloved Declaration of Independence. Perhaps one of the most rousing and memorable quotes on human rights ever written became part of our American heritage forever: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.â&#x20AC;?

John Adams thought perhaps July 2 would become our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birth date but instead, by popular acclamation, we celebrate July 4, the day the Declaration was signed.

A point of pride for North Carolina, our Halifax Resolves, declared on April 12, 1776, made us the first of the 13 original colonies to unequivocally consent to vote for independence from Great Britain.

By all reports, Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin were also lovers of travel and of good wine, ale and excellent food. But I daresay they never imagined that Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite holiday destination would be our beautiful beaches as we empty our towns and cities and converge by the sea to celebrate our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s birthday. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;rocketsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; red glareâ&#x20AC;?

of fireworks over the water is a thrilling sight over Emerald Isle and repeated on the Fourth of July up and down our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coastline. With Memorial Day just passed, where we remembered the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armed forces, we experience morning in the grand season of summer. We welcome these first days of summer with soft breezes and temps in the 80s, and even the humidity, as we say goodbye to a spring that was too cool and too wet for too long. But with the Fourth of July comes the high noon of summer, greeting the extraordinary throng of people who all want to spend the Fourth ocean salty and sandy, with burgers, hot dogs, watermelon, ice cream and glacial beverages dripping with condensation. Quicker than we can ever imagine, July and then August pass in a glissando of sun-filled, hazy days until school bells ring, students return to classrooms and Labor Day weekend gives us the last afternoon of summer and the breeze switches to the cooling north, north-east bringing on the autumn fishing season.

This year for the week of the Fourth of July I will be with all my children and grandchildren and together we will gather by the ocean on Emerald Isle to enjoy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happinessâ&#x20AC;? in our cottage by the sea.

We will circle our beach chairs towards the ocean, then as evening falls, circle them east to watch as the sky deepens to sapphire midnight blue, watching for the first evening star, then the first firework to blaze across the Emerald Isle sky.

America the beautiful, America the free; letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all wish a very happy 240th birthday to our great nation, the United States of America.

tourism BAROMETER OFF THE BEATEN PATH WHILE THERE’S NEVER a shortage of engaging events and activities going on along the Crystal Coast, there are some hidden gems that might not get the same kind of exposure as their more well known counterparts. Many are avid fans of the Seafood Festival, Beaufort Wine & Food weekend and the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament but did you know about the possibility to go Full Moon Shark Fishing, Stargazing at the Fort or participating in an Underwater Bike Race? At the Crystal Coast Tourism Development Authority we do our best to help keep locals and tourist up-to-date on the happenings around town so please read on to hear more about these exciting events taking place, slightly Off the Beaten Path!

Who doesn’t love live music and boating? Put the two together and you have a dream scenario. Well dreams certainly do come true! Join Crystal Coast Lady Cruises on July 9 for an evening with Bryan Mayer aboard the beautiful 100 foot cruiser, Beaufort’s newest and largest cruise vessel. Cruise the local waters while soaking up the powerful country tunes of Bryan Mayer. There will be a meet and greet from 6:15pm - 6:45pm (first come, first served).

The show will kick-off at 7pm and last until 9pm. For more details, 252-728-8687.

Crystal Coast Lady Cruises offers up another rare

experience each month under the illumination of the full moon. Here’s your chance to hook up with sand sharks, tiger sharks, black tip sharks and more, under the beauty of a full moon. Full Moon Shark Fishing trips are available on July 15 and 16 from 10pm-2:30am. For more details, 252-728-8687.

Fort Macon always has a wide variety of activities filling up their calendar but this celestial outing is a little different from the rest. For a night of Stargazing and Astronomy, meet at the Fort Macon bathhouse July 26 at 9pm to view space through a telescope and learn more about our universe. For more details, 252-726-3775.

Taking place every year on the 4th of July is Discovery Diving’s Underwater Bike Race. This not so conventional, but wildly fun annual event benefits the Children’s Mile of Hope in support of cancer research. Hungry Town Bike Tours in Beaufort will be sponsoring the Bike Decorating Bonanza that takes place prior to departure. Prizes will be awarded for the Best Dressed Bike and Rider. For more details, 252-728-2265 The aforementioned events are only a glimpse of the summer activities happening along the shores of the Crystal Coast. For a full listing of events, you can always visit our website at www.crystalcoastnc.org.

SUMMER MR ST YLE FRANâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BEACHWEAR (NOW PART OF EVERYTHING BUT WATER) 8305 EMERALD DRIVE NORTH CAROLINA

WWW.EVERYTHINGBUTWATER.COM

JULY ARIES (March 21-April 20) Aries, there is much you want others to know about you as June begins, but you’re not ready to share all of the details just yet. Continue to bide your time and share only when it feels right. Be careful to take a serious approach if you want others to give your ideas thoughtful consideration. Devote time to work and other necessities. If feel like you’re running yourself ragged, all of your hard work will pay off in due time. Just be sure to avoid falling victim to exhaustion; scale back when necessary. The end of the month will bring a strong sense of what you have to do to solidify a relationship. Build off of what you and your significant other have in common.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, take a few moments to recharge. You have been going at a breakneck pace for too long, and now it’s time to slow things down.

Use some vacation time if you can. If stress starts to get to you, take a step back and reevaluate your priorities. It may be time to make a few changes and reduce your workload. Speak up if demands on your time have become unmanageable. Your loved ones will understand if you need to slow things down and take a breather. But be sure to get to the heart of the problem so you can find a solution as quickly as possible. Take ownership of your leadership role in a situation and direct others with confidence.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) There’s not much you can do to change a current situation, Taurus. Step away for a bit and let the pieces fall where they may. Then you can develop a strategy. Put your thoughts on paper if it helps you work out all of your ideas. You have some great ones, and writing them down can help you articulate them more effectively. Bide your time until you find the right moment to express your true feelings.

You don’t want to come across as premature, and patience can help you fine-tune your thoughts. Work to employ flattery more in your daily conversations. You attract more flies with honey than vinegar, so begin with a compliment before providing constructive criticism.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Others are routinely drawn to your unique personality. Make the most of others’ warm reception and do your best to return the favor whenever you can. You like to be around people and enjoy holding your own in conversation. But you may need a little respite from the crowd. Enjoy the alone time. Evaluate all of your choices when a significant project is entrusted to you. There’s a reason you have been given this responsibility, so don’t be too hasty. Take a calm approach to an unexpected situation at the end of the month.

Looking at things coolly and calmly will help you rectify the situation in a way that benefits all involved.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) You have a new goal this week but others are not as receptive to your ideas as you hoped they would be. You may need to fine tune things. Be persistent. Someone gives you a gift that you really appreciate this month, and you want to respond in kind. Think about the recipient’s hobbies before making a final decision. It may seem like you cannot move beyond the preparation stage of a new project this month. Make an effort to narrow down your choices so things can start moving forward. Others may value your advice even if they do not ultimately take it to heart. Do not let this get in the way of offering guidance to others down the road.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) If you want to get things accomplished this month, you may have to do them yourself.

Going it alone may require a lot of work, but you are up to the challenge. Offer to help a loved one even if you suspect they may not be receptive to your assistance. Exhibit some patience and perseverance, and you will help make a positive difference. You may find you need to be more efficient with daily tasks midmonth. Dilly-dallying won’t get the job done, so make a concerted effort to improve your focus and avoid distraction. You may have bitten off a little more than you can chew, as you didn’t realize just how much energy was required to complete a task. Don’t hesitate to ask for help.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Resolve to make the most of this month even if it seems difficult to do so. Seek support from friends or family members willing to lend an ear or a helping hand. Things have been going quite well for you lately, you have gotten into a groove. Take the smooth goings in stride and offer to help others when possible.

Overcome any lingering doubt by examining your thought process on past successes.

Trust your gut instincts. Be sure to give some thought to responsibilities that might be weighing you down. It might be time to lighten your load a little bit. Find someone to help you out.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) Scorpio, your magnetism can draw others to you like a moth to a flame, and that has helped you establish lasting friendships and build strong relationships. Cherish your good fortune. Your courage to stand by your decisions draws positive attention this month.

Let it be known that you appreciate others noticing your conviction. Don’t worry too much about those that do not stand by your decisions. Now is not the time to worry about what others think. Your willingness to choose the road less traveled has helped you get where you are and will continue to do so in the future. Although you have many admirers

there’s only one person whose opinion matters to you. Strengthen that relationship as much as you can.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Your super sense of humor is on full display this month when you have an opportunity to be the life of a party. Spend as much time in the limelight as you can. Ask a good friend for their perspective on a problem that has been puzzling you. Another’s insight might be just the thing you need to make the right decision. Maintain your focus no matter how challenging that proves. You have some tasks to complete, and they will only grow more difficult if you lack focus. You’re usually helping other people out, but this time others are lending you a helping hand. Accept any help you receive with humility.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) So much is going on early this month that it seems like it may stretch on forever. Just take things one day at a time and enjoy your full schedule while it lasts. Capricorn, work through all angles before making a final decision. It may take a few trial runs, but eventually you will come to the right conclusion. Get a second opinion if you need it. You do not have the time to cater to every person’s whim this month. Let others know you want to help but need some time before you can offer any assistance. You may be in the mood for entertaining of late, so open your home to friends and family.

Enjoy the festive scene, which is right in your wheelhouse.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) Take some time for yourself early this month, Aquarius. You have earned a little R&R, and now is the perfect time to prioritize some fun and excitement. There’s much you can learn about managing money and investing in your future this month. You have some great ideas; they just need some fine-tuning. Take a few days off, even if responsibilities are calling. Sometimes you need to reorganize your priorities, and some time off can help you do just that. Experiment with a new hobby or a crafty idea. This newfound passion may fill those hours when you find your mind straying toward boredom.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Pisces, channel your creative energy into a special project. Invite others to join in the project and let things go where your creativity takes you. Great friends are something to cherish, and this month is a great time to let your closest friends know how much you appreciate them. The month ahead is full of opportunity. Expect some extra work to come your way and make the most of this chance to shine. Don’t put off rest, however, you need to catch up on some R&R, which has been in short supply lately.
