History with Rodney During May, drop by The History Place in Morehead City for lunchtime lectures led by local personality and original fish house liar Rodney Kemp. Kemp will dig deep into his bag of tricks and county history three times this month.

The first talk is held on Friday, May 2 and is on the Crissie Wright. Taking the audience back more than 100 years to the wreck of the Crissie Wright on Shackleford Banks’ shoals, Kemp will speak to the story of the shipwreck and its historical significance.

Related topics on the heritage of Shackleford Banks will also be explored.

On Friday, May 16 a lecture on the prose & poetry of Carteret County is planned. Kemp will pull out a few stories, poems and songs that reflect the exciting history of the county. Audience participation is welcome and encouraged. The final lecture of this month is scheduled for Friday, May 30, and will cover the story of Emerald Isle. Learn how this fairly new development is something that benefits everyone living in Carteret County.

Lectures start at 11:30am. A catered lunch is provided for a cost of $15, $12 for Carteret County Historical Society members. For those who just want to attend the noon lecture, the cost is $8 for general admission and $5 for society members. Call 252-247-7533 to make reservations.

Loon Day Returns Loon Day is an annual one-day event in May hosted by the Core Sound Decoy Carvers Guild. This event boasts a decoy competition, lunch and a live auction.

Activities begin at 10am on Saturday, May 10 at the Guild headquarters. Decoys that are to be entered into the decoy competition are hidden before the judging so they cannot be prejudged from a closer perspective. For the first several years, the decoy competition was for loons only, but this year all types of ducks will be accepted. The competition is a donation competition in that the decoy itself acts as the entry fee. The judging will take place at the Harkers Island Bridge area with the decoys out in the water with the judges making evaluations from the shore. Entries have the chance of winning $200 for first place, $100 for second, $50 for third and $25 for fourth. For competition rules, contact Brother Gaskill at 252-504-3520.

Folk Arts Concert Down East FolkArts Society brings Deidre McCalla to Clawson’s Restaurant on Saturday, May 17.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, $12 for society members and active duty military and $8 for full-time students.

Doors open at 7pm and the concert starts at 8pm.

From the moment McCalla takes the stage, her engaging presence and irresistible blend of folk, country, rock and pop seize listeners by the heart and won’t let go. Her first album was released when she was 19 and a student at Vassar College. With a theater degree under her belt and an acoustic guitar in the back of a battered station wagon, she hit the road and has never looked back. She has shared the stage with notables such as Suzanne Vega, Tracy Chapman and Odetta. For two decades her words and music have chronicled our strengths and weaknesses and celebrated the power of the human spirit.

Tickets can be reserved by calling 252-646-4657. See www.downeastfolkarts.org for more information.

This Dark Road to Mercy

By Wiley Cash THE VOICES ARE three, but they are all creations of Wiley Cash who has given to us another touching and insightful novel. One voice belongs to Easter Quillby who narrates a portion of the book, a 12-year-old girl who, along with her sister Ruby, is moved into foster care after their mother dies. Another first person storyteller is Brady Weller, the court-appointedguardian for the two girls who seeks to find them when they are taken by their father. The third voice belongs to Pruitt, a bad guy, who is also on the hunt. The one voice you do not hear in the novel is that of Wade Chesterfield, the father of the girls, but his imprint on the story is very strong.

“This Dark Road to Mercy” is the second work of southern literature by Cash who also wrote, “A Land More Kind than Home.” The author lives in Wilmington, and teaches in the low-residency program at Southern New Hampshire University. He has captured the frustration when fathers leave and children are misplaced in the emotional turmoil. There is nothing complicated about his style,

COASTAL

absorbing and thoughtful. The story is a simple tale of trying to recover what is lost.

Wiley Cash is gifted in giving a novel just the right pace. It moves with ease and injects just the needed amount of surprise to make the reader wary of the turns. Switching between three narrators does not complicate but enhances the tempo. One reason is that the account is tightly bound by the hunt for the father and his children. The reader is drawn in by both the movement and the emotion.

Wade Chesterfield, a former baseball player, is the center of the yarn. He is flawed, clumsy, and unsteady but is determined to make up for his past failings as a father. The problem is that he attempts his reconnection to his girls with a foolish act which puts him on the run from people who want what he has taken. He is a wanted man by both the law and by criminals, not a positive position to be in with daughters in tow. This leads to a chase across the south and a trouble strewn landscape.

One cannot begin this book and not become emotionally involved in the well-being of Easter and Ruby. Easter reveals her feelings in a way that causes the reader to root for her.

She and her dad both are keenly interested in the home run contest between two baseball greats, their tie that binds.

Page after page the reader is led to hope with her that life will take some positive turns. The turns she experiences are both affirmative and negative. This is the stuff of excellent novels. This is a prickly thriller with characters to be remembered, a fine read.

Telling Stories on the Porch THERE IS THAT perfect equipoise to the day when the bright, late afternoon sunshine gradually, almost casually, begins dimming to the duskiness of early evening. On southern coastal porches, sound-side docks and oceanfront decks, the ice is clinking in glasses, a sip of wine may be swirling and the storytelling begins in earnest. Soon we all will be gathering to celebrate graduations, Mother’s Day then Father’s Day, all grand occasions to share the stories we families never tire of hearing, savoring each moment we are together. Those of us so very blessed with our island homes may be hosting these special gatherings of favorite kin and so this is my gentle reminder of what our parents already knew; storytelling is best with children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews gathered at dusk, outdoors. Air conditioning just takes some of that evening magic away, now doesn’t it?

To encourage just such storytelling, create a gracious outdoor space with the most comfortable porch furniture you can find and add a few cozy pillows with a sensational fabric that weathers well. If your screen porch is deep and therefore protected, consider adding furnishings such as sideboards, wooden dining table and chairs and whimsical touches of folk art. Even on the ocean side, crimson red geraniums and asparagus fern will thrive and give another touch of beauty and jolly color. If your clan has little ones,

they just love to have their own tiny Adirondack chair to pull up next to yours. A child sized picnic table will give hours of pleasure for finger painting, creating seashell necklaces and enjoying delightfully messy watermelon feasts.

When your family and friends gather, it is most important to have enough porch chairs for all to take pleasure in watching the last light fade to rosy grayness, echoed in the cumulus clouds and sky trails of jets flinging across the sky from south to north, then north to south again. Wide-eyed, freshly bathed children listen as they hear just why your family came to love Emerald Isle so. They want to know just how many years has it been since someone dear to you first discovered this island we call Bogue Banks, enjoyed those first beach trips in wood paneled station wagons, then staked their claim and bought that special first house by the sea for your tribe. It is your privilege and your familial obligation to tell them. Storytelling of the sort I love isn’t just the repetition of these old, old tales, but also memories of the fine afternoon just enjoyed. Did Daddy really have a flounder on his surf rod that got away? Did you see those paddle boarders cruising by just beyond the breakers?

What was Mama like when she was a teenager? Sweet teasing, banter between middle-aged brothers and sisters, giggles from children eager to hear what it was like when their parents were once young. Storytelling and waterfront porches on a summer evening, now that’s some fine Carolina living.

county perspective

Leadership Carteret Participants Learn ‘Banksology’ from Cap’n Jim SPEAKING TO THE Leadership Carteret class on April 2, Cap’n Jim Willis of Atlantic Beach offered up a new twist on the meaning of “Keep Shack Wild.”

“We don’t need that Shackleford Banks crowd fighting with the Bogue Banks crowd over who gets the sand,” said Cap’n Jim, who is a self-proclaimed “banksologist.”

He acknowledges that Bogue Banks needs sand for renourishment … and Shackleford Banks needs sand for renourishment. He thinks there’s plenty of sand to go around, if a man-made jetty at the hook of Cape Lookout were removed.

James Newman Willis, III (Cap’n Jim) is the first nativeborn resident of Atlantic Beach, born in 1934. (His parents were Newman and Etta Willis, who settled permanently in Atlantic Beach in 1931 as its first residents.)

For much of his adult life, Cap’n Jim would walk regularly from the Atlantic Beach “Circle” to Fort Macon State Park, beyond the rock jetty, and he took meticulous notes and measurements of the coastline, collecting data to validate that the build-up of sand was occurring east of the rock jetty … not to the west.

This revelation rocked the scientific world. For centuries, it was thought that sand moved east from Bogue Banks

toward Shackleford Banks. Cap’n Jim documented that the wave action in Onslow Bay occurs in a counter-clockwise direction. Hence, the sand actually migrates from east to west – from Shackleford Banks to Bogue Banks.

“The National Park Service is rightfully concerned about erosion of Shackleford Banks, a part of Cape Lookout National Seashore,” Cap’n Jim said. “I suspect the park people are worried about an inlet cutting through at the narrowest point – maybe more than one. That could be catastrophic for Back Sound and Core Sound.”

So, if Bogue Banks gets its sand from Shackleford, where does Shackleford get its sand?

“From what we call ‘the hook,’” Cap’n Jim said. “The scientists call it the ‘recurved prograding distal spit.’ (cont. on page 50) 58 GOLDSBORO

Chamber Graduates 36 in 2014 Leadership Class CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 36 new graduates who completed the “weather-extended” version of Leadership Carteret this year. They received their certificates April 9, during graduation ceremonies at The Country Club of the Crystal Coast in Pine Knoll Shores.

“Not only was the Class of 2014 the best class ever,” boasted class spokesperson Bob Malone of the Arts Council of Carteret County, “we are the ‘survivor class’ that endured harsh weather almost every week.”

The keynote speaker at the graduation luncheon was Jay Barnes, who served more than 20 years as director of the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and is now development director with the NC Aquarium Society. He is a nationally acclaimed hurricane historian.

Several members of the Leadership Class have Bogue Banks connections. The new graduates include: Gina Crespoarce, Amy Fair, Cyndi Keiser and Cheryl Palmer, all of Emerald Isle Realty; Jana Moss and Joey Sisk, both of Transportation Impact; Robin Bawcom of Atlantic Beach Realty; Allison Bernauer of Bluewater Real Estate; Walter Hancock of The Islander Suites; Jason Holland of First Citizens Bank in Atlantic Beach; Henry Kahen of Edward Jones and a Pine Knoll Shores resident; Sarah McNally of the Town of Emerald Isle/Emerald Isle Business Association; Amanda Pittman of The Insurance Center in Atlantic Beach;

and Anne Schrott, a second home owner in Emerald Isle.

“We spent a lot of time on Bogue Banks,” said Wendy Routson of the Emerald Isle Beach & Pool Club and a member of the Leadership Carteret Steering Committee.

Paxon Holz talked to the class about the history of Emerald Isle and western Carteret County, and the participants had an opportunity to hear from town officials, including Eddie Barber and Frank Rush of Emerald Isle, Trace Cooper of Atlantic Beach, Brian Kramer of Pine Knoll Shores, David Fowler of Cape Carteret and Chris Seaburg of Cedar Point.

Other speakers included Greg “Rudi” Rudolph of the Carteret County Shore Protection Office, Travis Burt of Transportation Impact and Cmdr. Karrie Trebbe of the Coast Guard Sector North Carolina Field Office Fort Macon.

Highlights included a behind-the-scenes tour at the aquarium, demonstrations at Fort Macon State Park and boarding the vessels at the Coast Guard station at Fort Macon.

On April 8, the class members enjoyed an overnight beach retreat in Emerald Isle, with beach house accommodations courtesy of Emerald Isle Realty.

“Leadership Carteret was the single best introduction I have found to understand what makes Carteret County tick,” said Brian Kramer, a member of the Class of 2008). “I came away understanding what a kaleidoscope this county really is.”

mayor’s notes

Maintain a Positive Attitude I WOULD LIKE to take this opportunity to thank all the volunteers and town staff who had a part in making two events at Emerald Isle in March a success – the St. Patrick’s Day Festival and the inaugural Emerald Isle Half-Marathon and 5K. Both events illustrate what happens when we all work together. It was amazing to see the large crowds at both events.

As I was leaving the marathon after the medals were given out I bumped into a family who were still waiting for a runner to finish. They were standing in the rain with posters, banners and T-shirts which had their mother and grandmother’s names on them. They were waiting for her to finish her first ever marathon. I waited and cheered with them as she passed in the rain as she was almost finishing the marathon. Her determination and enthusiasm were contagious as she ran the last few yards of the marathon. I could feel her sense of accomplishment.

The day before the marathon I was an invited guest to attend MCIEast – MCB Camp LeJeune Relief & Appointment change of command ceremony for the retiring sergeant major and the appointment of the new sergeant major. I was privileged to meet Gen. Amos and Marines from all over the country who came to attend this ceremony.

As I was leaving, I talked to a Marine who was a wounded warrior. I thanked him for his service and despite his life changing injuries he was so positive and so optimistic. I

asked him how he stayed so positive and he gave me a copy of the Marine’s Prayer. Let me share this with you: The Marine’s Prayer

Almighty Father whose command is overall and whose love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family.

Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those committed to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity and let it remind me daily of the traditions which I must uphold. If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give the courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answers to my prayer. Amen.

Both the runner and the Marine should give us the motivation to move forward with a positive outlook as we look toward the future. May God bless us as we move toward new goals and dreams.

~Emerald Tidings~ Update – NC Homeowners Insurance Rate Increase

THE NC COMMISSIONER of Insurance has scheduled a formal hearing on the recently requested rate increases for homeowners insurance in North Carolina. The formal hearing will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 6 at 10am in Raleigh. The public is invited to attend, however, comments will be limited to the NC Rate Bureau (the entity representing the insurance companies that requested the rate increases) and staff from the NC Dept. of Insurance (on behalf of the public). More information about the hearing is located at www.ncdoi.com/Media/News2/Year/2014/021914.asp.

Homeowners in Emerald Isle could see as much as a 35 percent increase in homeowners insurance rates if the requested increases are approved. Emerald Isle homeowners (and others on barrier islands in coastal North Carolina) already pay rates as much as 5 times higher than some areas of North Carolina, and the most recent requested increase follows previously approved rate increases in 2005 (15%), 2007 (25%), 2009 (17.5%) and 2013 (19.8%). The Emerald Isle Board of Commissioners has formally opposed the 2014 requested rate increase, and has urged the NC Commissioner of Insurance and the NC General Assembly to implement reforms to create a fairer rate structure.

A decision on the 2014 requested rate increase is expected sometime after the Aug. 6 hearing.

Flood Insurance Reprieve Approved

The US Congress recently approved and the president signed the Homeowners Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014. This new legislation will delay the most harmful provisions in the BiggertWaters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW 12) for approximately 4 years. This new legislation also directs FEMA to study ways to make flood insurance reform more affordable for policy holders who constructed their homes in accordance with flood zone requirements in effect at the time of construction, only to see the flood maps amended at a later date. The town had been especially concerned about the potential loss of “grandfathered status” for these property owners under BW 12, who could have faced premium increases of several thousand dollars or more through no fault of their own.

On a related note, the NC Division of Emergency Management is expected to release new flood insurance rate maps for Emerald Isle in November 2014. These new maps could also impact flood insurance premiums for our property owners, and the town will remain engaged in this issue and carefully review the new maps.

New Playground Equipment Installed

New playground equipment was installed at Blue Heron Park in March, and the playground has reopened to rave reviews! Please stop by and check it out behind the Emerald Isle Police Station!

Resident/Taxpayer Beach Parking Permits Available Now

The town will begin charging a daily parking fee at the Eastern Ocean Regional Access and Western Ocean Regional Access on Friday, April 18 (Good Friday holiday), and will collect the parking fee each Saturday, Sunday, and holiday through Sept. 14.

The fee is $10 per vehicle per day. These daily parking fees generate approximately $100,000 annually for the town and 100% of the proceeds are invested in services at these two facilities to promote a safe, family-friendly experience for our visitors. Parking fees fund dedicated police personnel, lifeguards, custodial staff and other expenses associated with these popular facilities.

Emerald Isle taxpayers are eligible for two free annual parking permits for the Eastern Ocean Regional Access and Western Ocean Regional Access. The parking permits will be granted only for vehicles registered in the name of the taxpayer, and are not transferable.

Emerald Isle taxpayers must display the appropriate permit sticker on their windshield in order to avoid the parking fee. The permit sticker cannot be obtained at the regional beach access facilities, and must be obtained prior to visiting the regional beach access facilities. To obtain your free parking permit, please visit (7509 Emerald Drive) or call (252-354-3424) the town administration building during normal business hours.

Please note: Emerald Isle taxpayers will need to bring their vehicle registration(s) with them when applying for their permit.

Oceanfront property owners ONLY are eligible for two exception permits, which can be obtained by visiting (7509 Emerald Drive) or calling (252-354-3424) the town administration building during normal business hours.

One New Bike Path Segment Complete

The town’s contractor has completed the new 1.4 mile bicycle path segment along Hwy 58 between Fairfax Road and Ocean Drive. Town staff (Cont. on page 48)

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.

I

t’s a nice age, 40, especially for a festival or special event. By 40, the event is ingrained in our 9am-5pm – Blackbeard’s Queen consciousness – it’s part of the fabric of our communities. And that is certainly true for the Wooden Anne’s Revenge, 1718 Boat Show. Whether you’re a boating enthusiast or prefer to keep your feet on dry land, the 40th NC Maritime Museum annual Wooden Boat Show, the longest ongoing wooden boat show in the Southeast, has activities for all ages. The annual event returns to Beaufort on Saturday, May 3.

10am-4:30pm – Wooden Boat Kids This free NC Maritime Museum event celebrates the art of North Carolina boat building and the sport of NC Maritime Museum boat racing. Dozens of handcrafted wooden boats will be on display and activities will be available for all ages are planned from 10am to 4:30pm.

“We pay a lot of attention to making sure the show is not just interesting for wooden boat enthusiasts,” 10-11am – Spritsail Race explained Paul Fontenoy, curator of maritime research and technology at the museum. “So we have Taylors Creek activities for children and opportunities for families to do things together, such as taking a boat ride.”

Youngsters can take part in maritime games and crafts in the Wooden Boat Kids area or take the time 11am – Boatbuilding Challenge to build their own model sailboat, while families can team up to test their skills in sailing radio-controlled Boardwalk Parking Lot model boats. Enjoy traditional skills demonstrations and displays, educational activities, historic vessels, boat models, sailboat races at 3pm and sailboat rides from 1-3pm.

1-3pm – Go Sailing in a Traditional It is the boats, however, that hold the spotlight. Along the tree-lined streets of the historic fishing hamlet, Wooden Boat birch, mahogany, oak and teak will reign supreme – polished and shined in all its glory for visitors to Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center enjoy. The majority of this year’s entries are less than 25 feet in length simply because space is limited along Beaufort’s waterfront.

3pm – Boatbuilding Challenge Ends Things kick off on Thursday and Friday, May 1-2, with free boat rides available from 1-4pm outside West Boardwalk Parking Lot under the Watercraft Center (a $5 per person donation is suggested, which will go to the sailing program). On Tent Saturday, when the boats line the streets, free parking can be found at the museum’s Gallant’s Channel site, off of West Beaufort Road, and a free van shuttle will be available from 10am to 4pm to carry guests 3pm – Sailboat Races downtown.

Taylors Creek While the Wooden Boat Show’s anniversary will bring throngs to the Beaufort waterfront to take in the artistry of the boats on display others will be on hand just to try out their own building skills. The National 3:30pm – Boatbuilding Challenge: Boat Building Challenge sees 15-20 teams of two focusing their efforts on constructing a wooden boat Rowing Races Begin that’s all their own – and doing it in the fastest time possible.

Taylors Creek The challenge, now in its seventh year, is an annual test of skill, endurance and carpentry that pits students, families and couples against each other for the coveted top award. With provided plans 5:30-7pm – Awards Reception and supplies, pairs build a seaworthy skiff in four hours – then take it out to Taylors Creek for a little Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center competition of speed and buoyancy.

When the $100 registration fee is paid, teams are given the plans, allowing them to make a practice vessel if they choose and plot out their plan of attack.

Competitors are judged on the length of time it takes to construct their vessel, the quality of their workmanship and the boat’s speed in the rowing contest. Each year teams from local high schools participate, competing against each other. First place winners take home a $500 prize, second place earns $300 and third place winners get $200.

Summer Concerts Begin Spare Change

Jupiter Jones

WHILE THERE HAVE been times this past winter when it seemed the warmer days would never arrive, spring has indeed sprung along the Crystal Coast, bringing warmer temperatures and lightening our dispositions. With spring comes a calendar full of fun outdoor activities, including plenty of opportunities to catch a little live music.

Nothing carries a melody quite as well as a nice sea breeze. And thanks to a variety of concert series in Carteret County, there are plenty of opportunities to kick your shoes off and enjoy an evening by the water while keeping beat with your favorite songs. The best part? They’re all free and open to the public. Get together your lawn chairs, maybe a blanket and a snack, and be prepared to take in some great music, fellowship and family fun.

Downtown Morehead City Revitalization’s Alive at Five program holds Central Park Band concerts twice a month and begin at the perfect time for a little rest and relaxation – the end of the work week.

the DIVOT Warm Weather … Finally IT’S GREAT TO see the weather finally getting nice and the grass turning green. What a winter and spring we’ve had. It’s now time to get out on the golf course and enjoy the 2014 golf season.

Coming up next month are the Ladies’ and Men’s US Open’s being played in our backyard in Pinehurst. It’s the first time both tournaments have been held at the same facility in the same year. It’s a great opportunity for you to see the world’s best players compete on one of the best courses in the country.

Golf Tip of the Month Last month we talked about practicing chipping and how it will knock shots off of your score and make you a better player. This month is the pitch shot.

Again, having the knowledge and technique of this specialty shot is the key. The pitch shot is maximum air time and minimum ground time for the ball to get to the hole. You should use a more lofted club for the pitch shot. I would suggest a pitching wedge, sand wedge or a lob wedge. For the right handed player, position the ball just off of the inside of your left foot, stance slightly open, left of your target line, and setup with the butt of the grip pointed towards your bellybutton. This shot requires your wrist to break on the backswing and follow-through.

Learning to have a great pitch shot will make the game more enjoyable for you. For more techniques of the pitch shot and to improve your scores, please signup for a free pitching clinic held on Thursday, May 8 starting at 4pm. Call 252-726-1034 (ext. 10) to sign-up.

Space is limited so be sure to sign-up early.

On Friday, May 23 at 6pm, The Country Club of the Crystal Coast is hosting an open house for interested guests to meet some of our members and staff at the club. If you would like to take a tour, please contact me at anytime at 252-726-1034 (ext.12) or by email at chipchamberlin@pga.com.

Hope you have a great 2014 and I am looking forward to meeting you!

at the AQUARIUM Sizzling Summer THE AQUARIUM IS open 9am to 5pm on Memorial Day and throughout the summer. Watch for an exciting new exhibit opening at the end of May. Programs such as animal feedings and animal encounters are offered daily, free with admission or membership.

More programs and occasions free with admission or membership join the line-up in early June, including: • Enjoy a new deepsea scientific expedition theme in the twice-daily dive programs in the Living Shipwreck.

• Find out how to have fun by watching the river otters in a feeding program four mornings each week.

• You don’t need a time machine for a peek at the prehistoric past. On Way-Back Wednesdays, a stingray feeding at 10 a.m. and other activities spotlight creatures among us that have changed little over the ages.

• Fun activities emphasize small things anyone can do to enhance ocean health during World Oceans Weekend, June 8-9.

• The ever-popular Shark Week, July 27 to Aug. 2, brings seven days of shark-themed programs, feedings, displays, activities, crafts and other toothy times. The annual observance emphasizes that the much-misunderstood creatures rarely endanger humans, but a number of human activities put the future of the ocean’s top predators – and the balance of undersea ecosystems – at risk.

Just Add Water Choose from an array of summertime outdoor adventures, including the new stand-up paddle boarding and the return of surfing sessions. Kayaking, crabbing and clamming, beach explorations, marsh treks and more also are offered weekly.

Indoors, behind-the-scenes tours are available almost every day, including the month of May. The selection broadens the second week of June to include several specialized tours, including fish feedings and shark feedings from the other side of the windows. The small fry can enjoy animal encounters, crafts and other fun geared to the 2-5 age group in Aquarium ABCs. For the older kids entering grades 2-8,

check for openings in the summer day camp schedule.

Outdoor programs and indoor tours require advance registration and fees in addition to admission. Many programs fill up quickly so early booking is advised. Go to tickets/reservations on the Aquarium’s website to register online.

For the Birds Summer is for the birds at the aquarium. Winging It – Birds in Flight opens for its fourth season with a brand new show on Memorial Day weekend.

This ticketed program stars native raptors and water birds soaring overhead in Big Rock Theater in response to commands. Take an imaginary hike with some bird experts and enjoy extraordinary close encounters with these engaging creatures. The show highlights the unique features of various owls, hawks, pelicans, vultures and other species that can be found across North Carolina.

All the birds in the show have injuries or conditions that prevent their release into the wild. Like all the aquarium’s activities, the birds also deliver family-friendly entertainment.

Winging It – Birds in Flight runs daily at 1pm in Big Rock Theater. Tickets are $4 in addition to admission for ages 3

and up. There is no charge for “infants-in-arms” age 2 and under.

Watts Up? Do a good deed for the aquarium and the Earth at the same time – invest in a REC. That stands for Renewable Energy Certificates, equivalent to 1,000 kilowatt hours of power generated from a renewable source such as wind turbines. By buying RECs in the voluntary market, over 1.4 million purchasers in 2009 supported renewable energy projects.

Through a program funded by The Ocean Project, the aquarium is on a quest to acquire 4,000 RECs in 2014, equal to 100 percent of its energy consumption. Achieving this goal is the equivalent of removing 588 cars from our roadways every year.

Here’s how you can help: Each time you purchase a certified REC through Watts Up for yourself, the impact is doubled, as the program matches the purchase with a REC for the aquarium. Watch for the Watts Up displays to find out how you can participate.

The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is 5 miles west of Atlantic Beach at 1 Roosevelt Blvd., Pine Knoll Shores, NC 28512. Hours are 9am-5pm daily.

Admission is $10.95 for ages 13-61; $9.95 for age 62 and up and military; $8.95 for ages 3-12; no charge for age 2 and under and NC Aquarium Society members.

For more information, see www.ncaquariums.com/pine-knoll-shores or call 252247-4003.

coastal report Our Coast: Kayaking Calico Creek and the Newport River

By Christine Miller I LIVE ON Calico Creek in Morehead City. If you live in town or anywhere close to it, your response to that statement is probably something along the lines of “yuck.” This small tributary to the Newport River has a long and sometimes troubled past as a place where Morehead dumps its sewage.

But, believe it or not, it’s well worth a look from the cockpit of a kayak.

Before I put in, I wanted to get a little more background on the creek. At The History Place, a local museum, I poured over old maps and newspaper articles and availed myself of the encyclopedic knowledge of John Stephens, a local historian and weekly volunteer who grew up in the area. He shared both the history and his memories of growing up on the creek.

The first deed in the area is dated 1722, when land around the creek was used for timber and rich farm land. During those early times, the creek was deep enough that its banks were a center of water-based commerce, home to a sawmill, a shark processing plant and a brick yard. The brick yard was built to supply the bricks for Fort Macon, which was built over 10 years starting in 1826. The fort in nearby Atlantic Beach is now the centerpiece of a state park.

The creek was also known for producing the large quantities of crabs. Crab Point, the name given the north side of the creek and the Newport River, reminds us of this history. Oysters, shrimp and fish were also plentiful and supplemented many a farm family.

Calico Creek, though, has been closed to shellfishing since the 1950s, which is when the Shellfish Sanitation Program of the state Division of Marine Fisheries began keeping records, reports Shannon Jenkins, an environmental senior specialist with the program. Morehead City now boasts a modern sewage treatment plant with an impeccable record, but in the bad old days, raw sewage was discharged into the headwaters of the creek. The waters remain closed to shellfishing because it’s believed that the sediments that have made the headwaters so shallow remain contaminated.

One of the most famous residents of Calico Creek was Emeline Pigott, a young woman who became a Confederate spy during the Civil War. She was known for daring exploits as she smuggled messages across enemy lines in her voluminous skirts and hosted clandestine travelers at the family farm. At one point she was jailed and sentenced to death. She was

then mysteriously released; supposedly because of the secret information she had on Union officials.

The Pigott homestead took up all of what is now my neighborhood; the family cemetery sits on the creek, tended by the city. Stephens remembers going on Easter egg hunts in the Pigott yard in the mid-1930s. He also has fond memories of going up the creek with his friends on a skiff, getting back after dark, to the consternation of his parents.

There’s a public access point and floating dock at 608 Bay St., at the intersection of Bay and Sixth streets. Parking is on the street. Timing is key to launching here; if the tide is low, it adds a long, boat-hauling walk over oyster shells to the trip. We put in just before high tide and floated right from the dock.

As we curved around a marshy island just north of the yacht basin, a pair of dolphins surfaced about 30 feet from our boats.

They escorted us across the mouth of Calico Creek and into the Newport River, their skin gleaming in the sun, the exhalations from their blow holes sounding a husky counterpoint to the gulls’ cries.

We paddled across the river to a small island beach. The short sandy spit is a common stopping point for boaters and paddlers. After a quick lunch beachside, we set out to explore the marsh. This area is known as Haystacks and it is a haven for kayaking because much of it is generally too shallow for power boats. We meandered along the narrow passage ways, startling herons and egrets as we passed. Fish ruffled the water’s surface and jumping mullet jumped, taunting us. There are passages through the marsh, but we picked the wrong paths, so we retraced our way out.

With the sun starting to set, we paddled back across the river toward the mouth of the creek. Once again we were joined by a pair of dolphins, who stayed with us until we passed the yacht basin.

We pulled our boats out of the water, having to drag them from further out since the tide had fallen. A couple on the dock had caught puffer fish, which actually does taste like chicken, and mullet. My companion had trolled a line behind the boat during the trip to no avail. As we loaded up, I was grateful that this beautiful trip was available to me just by crossing the street to my neighbors’ yard. The public access is a much easier way to start, however – the bridge on 20th Street is impassable at high tide.

If you’re looking for a local trip, give Calico Creek and the Newport River a try. You’ll be glad you did.

gardenscape Gloomy Scale on Maples IF YOU HAVE maple trees in your landscape that seem weak, slow to grow, and with dying branch tips (and maybe branches), check the bark. Does it look bumpy and grainy?

Although it may look just like rough bark, it is likely you are seeing the insect named Gloomy Scale. The young, crawler stage of this insect, the only stage where treatment is effective, emerges over an extended period beginning in May. Entomologists at NC State University have prepared an excellent fact sheet on this insect, so I will share that with you here:

General Information The armor of female gloomy scales is up to 1/16 inch wide with a central pale ring that may weather away. The armor is convex and is usually the same color as the bark. Females are yellowish or pink to purple, legless and wingless, but they have long, piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Males are tiny (up to 1/32 inch GLOOMY SCALE, *Melanaspis tenebricosa long) gnat(Comstock),Diaspididae, HOMOPTERA like insects.

The crawlers are microscopic (1/64 inch long) and flattened. They are cream colored and have brown eyes. Each crawler has six legs and two antennae. The armor of very young scales is circular with a pale edge.

Female nymphs resemble the adult except for smaller size. The armor is also smaller. Male nymphs are elongate and their armor is oblong with the pale ring toward one end.

Biology Gloomy scales are found from Texas to Florida and north to Michigan and Pennsylvania on maples, especially the soft maples (boxelder, red maple and silver maple).

Grape, soapberry, native hollies, mulberry, sweetgum and buckthorn are also infested.

Heavily infested maples are unthrifty. The bark becomes dark with molds and grainy from the armor of the scales.

Significant twig dieback occurs. The scales probably cause dieback by injecting saliva into the trees as they feed.

Gloomy scales overwinter as mated females.

Development resumes in April and the first crawlers are produced in May. Crawlers are produced until the middle of August at which time practically every stage of development can be found. Males emerge in August and September and mate with new females. There is one generation per year.

Soon after oviposition (23 to 48 hours), crawlers emerge from under the mother to search for a suitable feeding site.

On sparsely populated stems, crawlers usually settle near 46

ISLAND REVIEW • May 2014

twig crotches and buds. The whole surface of stems may be completely covered by scales, sometimes two or three layers deep. After inserting the mouthparts, crawlers tuck in their legs and antennae and begin secreting the armor. After molting, female scales do not have legs or antennae.

Male crawlers also molt into legless scales, but in July and August males molt into ‘prepupae’ and ‘pupae’, stages in which the legs and wings once again develop. In August, the winged males emerge and crawl or fly to female scales and mate. Apparently, female scales molt one more time in the fall after mating.

Control A horticultural oil as a dormant application is probably the most effective chemical treatment for gloomy scale control.

However, sometimes trees are so large that thorough coverage is difficult. In such cases, it would probably be better to try to treat for the scales by improving the growing conditions of the trees. First, submit a soil sample from under the infested tree to the NCDA&CS Soils Lab. If the pH or nutrients are unbalanced, the soil should be amended.

During periods of prolonged drought, the trees should be irrigated. Grass under infested trees could be killed and the soil mulched to conserve soil moisture and keep the roots cool. Anything within reason should be done to enhance the vitality of the trees without stimulating excessive growth (that is, fertilize the amount indicated on the NCDA&CS analysis sheet, don’t just apply a bunch of 8-8-8 or 10-10-10).

It is known that trees under stress have more simple sugars (rather than starches) and more free amino acids (rather than more complex proteins) in the sap. Thus stressed trees may be more nutritious to the scales than healthy trees. The bark of unsprayed trees is often like a microscopic zoo with all sorts of predaceous mites, predaceous insects, parasitic insects, parasitic fungi and other organisms in addition to the scales.

By getting the tree into top growing condition, it should be less susceptible to the scales and the scales will not reproduce as prolifically. As a consequence, the parasites and predators may control the scales almost completely.

In case the tree is small enough to spray, there are many brands of horticultural oils on the market with various rates of application. When treating for gloomy scales during the dormant season, use the highest rate on the label. The best time to treat for gloomy scale is in early spring as the buds are beginning to swell and gloomy scale development is resuming. But once the buds break in early spring, it is too late to apply horticultural oil at the high rate without the risk of significant damage to the tree. Use the summer rate on plants with mature foliage.

When using any pesticide, be sure to read the label for the proper concentration and directions for safe use. If the tree is small enough, there may some advantage to pressure washing scale encrusted bark with water, but be careful not to use too much pressure.

tourism BAROMETER May Brings Beautiful Weather, an Influx of Tourists & a Celebration of Tourism MAY IS THE month that jumpstarts the summer tourism season. National Travel and Tourism Week takes place May 3-11 and this is a great time to give a special thanks to local hospitality workers for their hard work and service they provide to our visitors. After all, tourism is Carteret County’s #1 industry and the economic impact is huge.

It’s also a reminder of how important it is to welcome and appreciate our guests so they keep coming back!

Visitors spend approximately $282 million annually, generating $12.7 million in state tax receipts and $16.98 million in local tax receipts.

National Travel & Tourism Week is a tradition first celebrated in 1984. Localized events are presented in cities, states and travel businesses nationwide to champion the power of travel. It was established as National Tourism Week when the US Congress passed a joint resolution in 1983 designating the week to be celebrated in May. In a White House ceremony, President Ronald Reagan signed a Presidential Proclamation urging citizens to observe the week with “the appropriate ceremonies and activities.”

Travel Rally Day, Tuesday, May 6, is a concerted effort to demonstrate travel & tourism’s positive impact on local workers, businesses and economy – and, of course, on personal lives of travelers. The goal of Rally Day is to unite the local tourism community with its supporters and publicly represent the importance of travel to media and elected officials. www.ustravel.org Elizabeth Barrow Dir. of Local Public Relations Crystal Coast Tourism Authority

will be installing additional signage, bollards and markings in the next few weeks.

Construction continues on the 2.7 mile bicycle path segment along Hwy 58 between the Eastern Ocean Regional Access and the Indian Beach town limits, and this project is expected to be complete and open to the public by Memorial Day weekend.

Construction of an additional 1.1 mile bicycle path segment along Coast Guard Road between Dolphin Ridge Road and Ring Street will begin later in April after a new storm water pipe is installed in this area. Rough grading for much of the new bicycle path has already occurred in conjunction with the storm water pipe project.

Storm Water Pipe Improvements Continuing

The town’s contractors continue the installation of new storm water pipe along Coast Guard Road and within Lands End. The new storm water pipe will connect existing pump stations at Island Circle and within Lands End to the town’s storm water receiving site at Emerald Isle Woods Park.

Storm water pipe installation is expected to be complete along Coast Guard Road in April, and the work in Lands End will be complete in May.

Reminder – Yard Debris Collection Procedures

The town’s yard debris collection program continues to be heavily utilized by our property owners, and we expect higher than usual volumes during April, May and June. Town crews will be working 7 days a week to collect yard debris, and your patience is greatly appreciated.

It is no longer necessary to call in to be placed on the collection 48

list. Staff now makes a continuous pass through all streets in the town and our goal is to collect from every area at least once per week. If you place yard debris near the street, town staff should automatically pick up the debris within one week. With the busy season at hand, it may take a few extra days to get everyone, but it will be collected as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

Reminder – Important Golf Cart Regulations

The town implemented its local golf cart program in 2011, and the program continues to grow. More than 300 golf carts are now registered in the town’s program.

Please obey the town’s golf cart regulations, as they are specifically designed to promote the safety of golf cart operators, pedestrians and bicyclists, and other motorists. Key town regulations include: • Golf carts must be registered with the town, and must meet certain safety requirements, • Golf cart drivers must be at least 18 years of age, • Golf carts may park in specifically designated golf cart parking spaces at public beach access walkways, • Golf carts are NOT permitted on the town’s bicycle path network along Hwy 58 and Coast Guard Road (but are allowed on Ocean Drive connectors), and • Golf carts are NOT permitted to travel on Coast Guard Road or NC 58, but may cross over these streets.

Thank you for your cooperation!

mayor’s notes

Looking Forward to Summer Projects AFTER A WINTER that has been a bit longer and a bit colder than we are accustomed to at the beach, we all are ready for summer. Although I look forward to the summer every year, this year I am particularly excited since there are a few fun new town projects that will be in the mix.

The town council has been focusing on providing more family entertainment in Atlantic Beach and the next phase of our town park will be online this spring when we open our new splash pad. A splash pad is a water play feature – similar to a fountain that you can play in – that is well suited for kids of all ages because it is on flat ground.

We’ve installed a really fun one with an attractive compass rose design that will fit in with the nautical theme we will eventually have throughout the park. The splash pad was a favorite project of former Councilman Eddie Briley who made sure we approved the funding and construction of the park before he retired from the board last year. I really appreciate his leadership with this project and I hope his granddaughter, and the rest of the kids in Atlantic Beach, have a blast playing in it.

The splash pad is located in the center of our lawn at the town park across from Atlantic Station. There will be no charge to play in it and it should be open before Memorial Day weekend.

With the completion of this project at the park, we are already well on our way to the next major phase at the park – the construction of a skateboard park. With the help of a committee of local skaters and parents, as well as thousands of comments from our Facebook page, we have

Mayor Trace Cooper finalized the design of the skate park.

Now, we are moving to the fundraising phase of the project with the hope that we’ll be able to start building the first phases of the park this fall.

I have received more positive feedback on the plans to build a skatepark than anything else we’ve done in my four terms as mayor. Parents routinely stop me and thank us for building a skatepark noting that, “my kids are so excited, it’s all they talk about these days.” Despite this excitement from parents and their kids, we have received a few questions about the park from people who are unfamiliar with how widespread the popularity of skateboarding is today. I’ve been asked a couple of times why we are focusing on a skateboard park. My answer is that we are building a skatepark because, in this day and age, skateboarding is what kids do. Skateboarding is the third most popular recreation activity for youths between the ages of 6 and 18. There have been dozens of municipal skate parks built in North Carolina in recent years and each of them is amongst the most popular attractions in those towns’ parks and recreation program. We asked other towns about their skateboard parks, we asked what they would do differently if they were building a new park. The only comments we got were that they would build a bigger skatepark because they are so popular.

It is going to be a great summer in Atlantic Beach with more stuff for families to do than there has been in several years, and even more to come.

county perspective (Cont. from page 16)

“If you look at the charts, you will see that ‘the hook’ has been growing toward Shackleford Banks since 1871, but its progress has been impeded and slowed down by a manmade jetty.”

Protruding from the hook is a rock structure or seawall, located on the western flank, which the US Army Corps of Engineers started building about 100 years ago. The plan at the time was to build a jetty as a breakwater to create the perfect ‘harbor of safety’ at Barden Inlet and Lookout Bight and build a coaling station there to serve the ships.

The project was abandoned by the federal government in 1917 … when America was immersed in World War I. The partially built jetty, of course, is still there. It has created the northern sand formation – what is called the Power Squadron Spit today.

The trouble is the jetty is interfering with the natural nourishment of Shackleford Banks and depriving Shackleford of the sand that would migrate there naturally, 50

ISLAND REVIEW • May 2014

according to Cap’n Jim. “Shackleford is malnourished. You might even call it a famine,” he said.

“If Shackleford were getting its sand from ‘the hook,’ as it should be, then over time the problem would solve itself.

The ocean waves would have the power to move the sand toward Shackleford, and it would slowly move toward Bogue Banks.

“However, removing the jetty could cost a fortune, and where is the money going to come from?

“There are a lot of smart people in the Leadership Carteret Class of 2014, so I challenged them to come up with an answer,” Cap’n Jim said.

With all the talk about ‘Keep Shack Wild,’ perhaps removing the jetty would do just that. Will Shackleford Banks and Bogue Banks live happily ever after? Stay tuned.

Atlantic Beach Brings Beach Music Back to the Beach GRAB YOUR DANCING shoes and coolers, and get ready for a full day of beach music at The Circle. Held at the Atlantic Beach Boardwalk, the Atlantic Beach Music Festival is slated for 11am-6pm on Saturday, May 17.

The festival features performances by the Holiday Band, Band of Oz, Fantastic Shakers and Mighty Saints of Soul. The stage will be set up along the boardwalk facing the beach, actually on the site of the old Atlantic Beach Pavilion where people say “The Shag” was invented. Mayor Trace Cooper said that beach music is a part of Atlantic Beach History.

“We want to focus on events that are consistent with the character and history of Atlantic Beach. When it comes to music, no genre has played a bigger role in our history than beach music. After all, Atlantic Beach is where shagging was invented,” he said. “A country music festival or blues festival just wouldn’t be as good of a fit. Ironically, there aren’t that many beach music festivals in beach towns anymore. We thought that if we were going to have a beach music festival, you should be able to listen to the music while actually on the beach,” he continued.

Currently, one of the larger annual events is the Triangle Beach Music Festival, hours away from putting your toes in the sand. Though in the past, the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival was the place to be. It was held every spring at the Holiday Trav-L Park in Emerald Isle.

The festival continued for about 20 years, and David Hicks, founding member of the Band of Oz, was there for just about every one of them. He said the festival ended Band of Oz around 10 or 15 years ago, but while it was still going, it was one of the biggest festivals the band played.

“That was the biggie. They do them (festivals) all over the Southeast. That was the biggest. We always had some big acts on it. Chairman of the Board was always there, Band of Oz was always there, The Embers were always there. I think the last one we did had over 20,000 people there.

It was always just wide open. It was a serious party,” he said. “We always looked The Holiday Band forward to the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival. Those people would just crowd down front and go at it all day. We had a lot of fun at those things.”

Hicks said he was glad that the town is bringing a beach music festival back to Atlantic Beach. The Band of Oz used to play at the pavilion, back in the early days of the band during the 1970s and 1980s.

“Atlantic Beach and beach music is synonymous to me. When they tore the pavilion down, they sold off pieces of the dance floor. I’ve got it hanging on my wall in my office. We played the pavilion many

The Mighty Saints of Soul

times,” he said.

Beach music has been around for quite a while, but the genre still garners a younger audience. NC State and UNC-Chapel Hill both have shag clubs.

Hicks said the band has been playing for younger audiences.

“They love beach music, but they like a mix of everything. They like the beach music that you call mainstream.

They like the traditional beach music. I do see them getting into it a little more.

The kids have heard their parents play it; it’s at least holding on,” he continued.

Hicks said they consider the Emerald Isle Beach Music Festival as the granddaddy of all beach music events, and he added that he’s looking forward to getting back down to the Crystal Coast.

The AB Beach Music Festival is a free event. The town will charge for event parking in nearby lots, and they’re also soliciting event sponsorships from businesses to offset the cost of the festival. There will be several food trucks and other vendors on site, as well as a beer tent.

People should bring whatever they need for a day at the beach, as there will be no bleachers or chairs. Coolers are allowed, but glass bottles are prohibited. Mayor Cooper said the town plans to make this festival an annual event occurring on the Saturday before Memorial Day weekend.

“We think it is a great way to kick off the summer season and we hope it will extend the busy season for our businesses by an extra weekend,” he said.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes

Calling All American Veterans IN 2008, THE Town of Pine Knoll Shores dedicated a monument to the great men and women that fought for our freedom in World War II. In 2010, we rededicated that same monument to the brave men and women who fought and served during the Korean War era. In 2014, we will rededicate our town’s monument to the brave men and women that served during our country’s Vietnam era.

All Vietnam War Veterans and their families are invited to this event. We’re inviting those that served anywhere during this timeframe. This is an important time in our country’s history. Whether you were drafted or volunteered, whether you were stationed in Saigon, or in Otttumwa, Iowa, you are an important part of this celebration of your service.

That said, ALL veterans and citizens of the Town of Pine Knoll Shores are invited to the rededication. The Cold War was on at the same time, so our country was fighting on a minimum of two fronts. This is the time we want to honor you. This is what Pine Knoll Shores is all about. We love and are thankful for the freedoms we enjoy every single day. We cannot NOT honor you!

This one hits pretty close to home for me. Long before my service in the US Air Force, my cousin did three tours as a helicopter pilot in the 19th Air Cavalry for the US Army.

Shot down twice, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, a Silver Star, three Bronze Stars and two Purple

Mayor Ken Jones

Hearts. I was a kid, but I remember him and his “God Bless America!” attitude.

Our town’s rededication ceremony and the following gathering, will take place on Oct. 25. We will start in Veteran’s Park beside town hall. After the ceremony we will adjourn to a not-yet-known location for dinner. We have established an email address and ask all Vietnam Era Veterans to tell us who you are and how we can get in touch with you.

Our committee members are: Chairman Craig Letchner, members Tom King, Dave Shapiro, Pete Trebbe, Arlene Terrell, Judi Matzke, Rich Donoghue, Brian Kramer, Sarah Williams and myself. The email address is: PKSVietnamVets@gmail.com, or you may call town hall at 247-4353.

I am of the opinion that it is EVERY generation’s responsibility to stand-up and take their turn at holding the line. The rest of the world isn’t like us; some people just don’t like Americans or freedom. I am very proud of each and every one of you and honored to be of your service. I look forward to standing with you, my brothers and sisters in arms.

One Team, One Town, One Pine Knoll Shores!

Water Tower Park – An Authentic STEAM Project

GREEN STEAM, A group of 6th graders entering the national Christopher Columbus Awards STEM contest, created a plan to make Emerald Isle residents and guests aware of the impact that “greening” up with native species on unused space can have. After seeing their plan, Seola Hill of Bogue Water Company gave them permission to use the space by the water tower as a medium to develop an aesthetically pleasing educational arena that would inform and challenge everyone to be stewards for Emerald Isle’s environment and its beautiful native species.

Green STEAM and their coach also challenged the STEM approach (using science, technology, “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you.” engineering, and mathematics) by making their plan

– Frank Lloyd Wright a STEAM project that incorporated art in its design process. Working with mentors and artisans, they will construct five original sculptures in the central garden area among the plants’ colors and textures that reflect North Carolina’s quilts.

One exciting and challenging aspect of the project is the building of an analemmatic sundial in front of the raised garden area, in which a person becomes the gnomon in the sundial. Other sculptures will include a stone inuksuk, metal sculpture insect or bird, a sundial, a birdbath created from a recycled fire hydrant and a central wind-chime wood sculpture. The park will also have a memorial area marked by a bench and trellis. The team talked to experts like Brian Watson of Carolina Home & Garden and Peggy Brown of the Emerald Isle Garden Club to learn about invasive, exotic and natural species of plants on the island. It is Green STEAM’s intent to encourage native birds and insects to become part of the beauty of the garden because of their natural attraction to it. In preparation, several adults and children have already pruned and prepared the area for planting. They are also preparing educational materials that explain the park and the native species, as well as creating small markers that will label the species.

Green STEAM is looking for sponsors to support the purchase of the plants, trellis and benches in the park. In return for their assistance, sponsors’ names will be noted on the park entry sign. It is through sharing time with real role models that the Green STEAM team and other children will believe that they too can create something worthwhile and authentic because their ideas and efforts are valued.

For information or opportunities to volunteer, call Dr. Joyce Trafton 252-354-7370 or email studioryukyu@hotmail.com.

club news PKS Garden Club THE MAY 14 meeting of the garden club was a reprise of last year’s most popular program, “Tablescapes” with new insights, in the spacious lobby of town hall of eight tables beautifully set by our members using a special theme.

On March 12, Judy Hicks, physical therapist and clinical director of Peak Performance Sports Physical Therapy in Havelock, spoke to our garden club on Pain Free Gardening-how to garden without injuring oneself. Since all our members are diligent gardeners from March until November, it was a wonderful opportunity to learn how to avoid backaches and sore muscles. She informed us that gardening was the number one pastime of the United States, and that there are 84 million weekend gardeners.

Unfortunately, these industrious folks toil too long and too hard, trying to accomplish too much in just two days.

Gardeners make 400,000 emergency hospital visits each year. The second reason for injuries involves the use of flower pots – bruises, gashes and injuries from lifting heavy ones! Of course the most traumatic and serious injuries involve chain saws and lawnmowers.

Hicks stressed using ergonomics – designing and arranging things to prevent injury and not waste energy.

She pointed out that we should stretch and gently warm up our bodies before starting to garden, carry loads close to our bodies, never reach, never twist. Use a wheel barrow or garden cart for heavy loads, and always wear supportive shoes! To prevent repetitive strain injury, never work through pain. Stop when you hurt and use ice or stretching exercises. Good garden gloves, long sleeve shirts and long pants protect against scrapes and insect bites. She demonstrated many exercises to keep our bodies fit, and members joined in and performed about a half dozen with her.

President Donna Belanger announced that the garden club would prepare a basket for the Kayak for Warriors auction on June 5. Kay Howe was pleased to share that the club sold 120 Christmas wreaths this year. Sheryl Woodbury informed members that in 2013 members planted 223 trees, 71 shrubs, 161 perennials, 665 annuals, 45 vegetables, 64 herbs and 59 houseplants.

The next meeting of the garden club will be the installation luncheon to be held at the Coral Bay Club on June 11. Visitors and guests are always welcome to attend meetings, which are usually held the second Wednesday of each month at town hall – 9:30am for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day.

PKS Women’s Club Bobbi Waters likes to talk trash. Not the kind of “trash talk” that might make you blush, but rather trash talk about GARBAGE. Waters is the solid waste planner/outreach coordinator for the Coastal Environmental Partnership (CEP), formerly the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority. She was the guest speaker at the March meeting of the Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club.

The CEP is a three-county partnership of Carteret,

Craven & Pamlico counties formed in 1990 to provide an environmentally sound, cost-effective system of solid waste disposal for the region. The public authority is operated by a seven member board of directors appointed by the county commissioners of the three counties. The CEP operates the main landfill in Tuscarora and two transfer stations in the surrounding counties. Carteret County is served by the Hibbs Road transfer facility in Newport. Waters explained the process involved in compacting the garbage at the landfill site which involves a layering system that resembles ravioli with a top and bottom membrane encapsulating the compacted garbage. Over the last 20 years the landfill has processed over 7 billion pounds of garbage. Leachate, run-off from the landfill, is pretreated and then taken to a disposal facility in New Bern; approximately 5-6,000 gallons per day are produced.

The methane gas that is produced by the landfill as the garbage decomposes can be converted to electricity.

Since 2007, the CEP has sold the methane to INGENCO, a company that converts methane into electricity. The electricity produced from this conversion produces enough electricity to meet the electricity needs of 2,500 homes.

Waters provided detailed information on the methods employed at the landfill, the proper disposal of various solid waste categories, and discussed items that are banned from the landfill. Detailed lists of acceptable and unacceptable items can be found on the CEP’s website at www.coastalenvironmentalpartnership.com.

Tours of the landfill are available to school, civic and business groups. While a trip to the landfill may not be on your bucket list, it might prove to be an interesting way to spend an afternoon and provide a new appreciation for the methods used to safely dispose of the garbage we throw out every day The business meeting which followed focused on club activities in April and the upcoming Mile of Hope event for children undergoing cancer treatment, which will take place in early May. Once again this year the Women’s Club will provide lunch on the beach for the children and their families.

The next meeting of the club will take place on May 16 and will feature Ray Harris of the Carteret County Partnership for Children as the guest speaker. Meetings are held at the Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall beginning at 9:30am. Guests and potential members are always welcome to attend.

Air Show Returns to Cherry Point

Celebrating Inspiration & Innovation MAKE YOUR WAY to the tarmac for the 71st installation of the Marine Corps Air Station’s Air Show. Every other year, MCAS Cherry Point brings crowds to Havelock to enjoy the weekend full of aerial entertainment and education. This year’s event is scheduled for May 16-18.

The show was initially canceled in early December when budget uncertainty and sequestration made the air show unfeasible. The decision was made in January to reinstate the show and this year promises to be no different from years past.

MCAS Cherry Point’s air show is the largest air show in the Carolinas and one of the largest military air shows in the Southeast. Friday’s show will feature nighttime performances, while Saturday and Sunday’s shows will feature many daytime performances. Gates open for the Friday night show at 5pm with flying from 5:45-10pm.

On Saturday and Sunday, gates open at 8am with flying from 10:30am-4:30pm.

The theme for this year’s show is “Inspiration to Innovation,” submitted by Chris Kling of Vanceboro. Kling’s theme was selected from 237 entrants in the biennial theme contest.

Because he submitted the winning theme, Kling gets to ride with one of the performing aircraft.

This year, the air show keeps the tradition of bringing top-notch air performers.

Featured in the air entertainment includes the Black Diamond Jet Team, the Smoke-nThunder JetCar, Aeroshell, Bill Leff and his restored T-6 Texan, Dan Buchanan with his glider, OTTO the helicopter, New Bern resident Hubie Tolson, a B-25 Panchito, Chris Avery and the CAF Corsair, the MiG-17F, Mike Wiskus and Lucas Oil Airshows, the Black Daggers parachute demonstration team and many others. Other highlights include a Marine Air-Ground Task Force demonstration, the Smoke-n-Thunder jet car, a host of civilian and military aerobatic demonstrations, a fun zone for the kids, plus historic and modern static aircraft displays on the flight line.

When not watching performances, visit some of the on the ground exhibits and explore some aircraft. Some exhibits include a Douglas SBD-5, Nakajima B5N “Kate” and ZERO N7757. The Douglas SBD-5 is the only US combat aircraft to fight in the entirety of World War II. Considered the most destructive air weapon of the US Navy, the SBD sank over 300,000 tons of enemy ships, a greater tonnage of Japanese shipping than any other Allied aircraft during the war. This ZERO N7757 was a Japanese airplane featured in “Tora! Tora! Tora!” The Nakajima B5N was the standard torpedo bomber of the Imperial Japanese Navy for much of World War II, and this plane was also featured in “Tora! Tora! Tora!”

The night show includes a variety of night-oriented aerial pyrotechnic displays, afterburner flybys, the roaring afterburner display of the Smoke-n-Thunder jet car, the Black Dagger skydivers, a wall of fire ordnance demonstration and a large fireworks display set to patriotic music.

The show is providing a series of buses to take guests from the parking area to the tarmac. Don’t forget to bring a lawn chair or blanket, hearing protection, sunscreen and a visor or cap for spending a day in the sun. For those interested in premium seating, several options are available on the air show’s website and include bleacher, box and chalet seating. It’s also important to be mindful of the fact that guests are entering a government facility and are subject to searches at any time.

For the most up to date information on the air show, visit the show’s website, cherrypointairshow.com.
