Spinning Workshop at the BHA

DMCRA Hosts Boat Show The Crystal Coast Boat Show, set to take over the downtown Morehead City waterfront.

May 21-22, is shaping up to have more boats, vendors, artists, vintage automobiles and entertainment than ever before.

“We’re becoming one of the biggest boat shows in this part of the state,” said Capt. Steve Miller, chairman of the Boat Show committee. “Before the end of last year’s show, dealers and vendors were signing up for 2016. We already have more boats in the water than we’ve ever had before and I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the same with the boats on land.”

The Crystal Coast Boat Show features both new and used boats, in-water and on land, as well as a variety of marine products and services, outdoor gear, fishing tackle, outfitters, brokers, fishing clubs and resource conservation groups.

As part of the Beaufort Historical Association’s Living History series, Pat Tester will conduct a three day spinning workshop May 2, 3 and 5 from 1:30-4pm each day in the Beaufort Welcome Center at 130 Turner St. The workshop is open to the public, but seating is limited for the hands on spinning experience.

Whether by hand or machine, spinning is the process of drawing out a few fibers and winding them into a ball or onto a stick. In the beginning, spinning was all done by hand, before the winding stick was modified into the hand spindle.

From there, the spinning wheel was invented as a way to mechanically turn the spindle. By the 13th century the spinning wheel was introduced to Europe. The spinning wheel was brought to America with the early colonists.

The workshop has a materials fee of $15. To reserve your spot, or for information on this and other Living History Programs, stop by the Beaufort Historic Site Welcome Center at 130 Turner St., call 252-728-5225 or visit www.beauforthistoricsite.org.

The Legends Club

By John Feinstein ANYONE WHO LIVES and breathes ACC basketball will love this book, especially those who cherish the memories when the conference was only eight teams. This is, however, a story aimed at three college fan bases: UNC, Duke and NC State. It is the ultimate joy ride for grads from those schools.

John Feinstein is a bestselling author of books on sports. This latest work is sure to stay on the charts for months, especially in the Carolinas. The Legends Club is centered on three coaches: Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzewski, and Jim Valvano who went up against each other in the 1980s. These three coached in the close quarters of the Triangle area of the state but were all prominent in the national sports eye.

Duke and NC State were struggling in the early 1980s to keep up with the success at UNC with Coach Smith. The two schools hired relatively unknown young men to try and bring their basketball programs back to national prominence. In only a short time all three would win national championships and create one of the greatest coaching rivalries of all time.

Feinstein has provided a fascinating inside look at the period and the programs. He explores the personalities of the three coaches. Remembered now as Coach K, Jimmy V and Dean, these very competitive men each brandished their own styles. They also fought through their own personal hardships. Readers will discover traits and actions not widely known before.

Recruiting is an intricate aspect of this story. The author reveals wonderful tidbits of the means by which players were enticed (legally) to choose a school to play with. In some cases all three colleges sought the same talent. Winning a recruit was as intense as winning games and championships in some cases. The playerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names and accomplishments serve as reminders as to the strength of the programs under these coaches. Jordan, Charles and Dawkins are players which added to the fame of their coaches.

Smith and Valvano are now deceased. Coach K is still active. All three have given North Carolinians something to be proud of. Feinstein lifts each of them to a place of reverence and does justice to their stories. He also points out their limitations. This is a fair yet idolized view of these three legends.

county perspective Cape Lookout Wins: Best National Park Beach AMERICA HAS SPOKEN: The Best National Park Beach in the USA is our own Cape Lookout National Seashore.

Cape Lookout received the most votes in an online contest sponsored by USA Today/10Best Readers’ Choice Awards, outdistancing 19 other finalists. The announcement came March 18.

“The timing couldn’t have been better, as June 18 is the celebration of Cape Lookout National Seashore’s 50-year anniversary as a unit of the US National Park Service (NPS),” said Park Superintendent Pat Kenney. “Also, 2016 is the 100-year anniversary of the formation of NPS.” Kenney received a “Resolution of Congratulations and Appreciation” April 7 from the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce.

“With its 56 miles of magical ocean shoreline, Cape Lookout National Seashore is undisturbed and uninhabited, both wild and pristine,” said Chamber Board Chair Bucky. “Cape Lookout is one of the few remaining natural barrier island systems on the planet.”

Within the park boundaries are Shackleford Banks, South Core Banks and North Core Banks. There’s a whole other ecological world to explore on the “back side” of these islands in the sounds where fresh water blends with saline, creating a prolific nursery for ocean-going creatures. The salt marsh is one of the most productive ecosystems on earth, providing a fertile home for inhabitants of the tide-washed wetlands.

The venerable Cape Lookout Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel and navigational aid for mariners warning vessels not to approach Cape Lookout Shoals and Promontorium Tremendum, the Horrible Headland. Those ships that failed to alter course were doomed to run aground and become part of the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.”

Interestingly, the Cape Lookout lighthouse is the only one in America indicating direction with its day pattern, as the white diamonds face east and west and the black diamonds face north and south.

The structure is 169 feet tall with a signal light that is visible 19 miles out to sea, appearing to blink every 15 seconds as the light revolves full circle. Visitors can plan their trip to include climbing the lighthouse, all 188 steps or the equivalent of a 12-story building, to experience Carteret County’s most spectacular scenic view.

The lighthouse has withstood about 30 hurricanes over the years and even an assault during the Civil War when Confederate forces tried to blow it up.

Shackleford Banks is inhabited by wild horses and has been for centuries, as scientists believe the herd descends from the Spanish horses of Hispaniola that were brought here by colonists in the 1500s.

At the northernmost tip of the park is Portsmouth Village, once a bustling maritime port. In the mid-1880s, it was visited by more than 1,400 cargo vessels a year and was home to more than 600 residents. It’s now a ghost village – silent with abandonment since 1971 – frozen in time but not forgotten; its village has been preserved as a museum-like reminder of a long-gone time and place.

Today, the NPS calculates that Cape Lookout National Seashore contributes more than $23 million annually to the benefit of the local economy, while supporting more than 330 local jobs.

Oliver said the recognition received from the contest will produce long-lasting benefits, in the form of stimulating even greater visitation in the summer of 2016 and beyond.

CAPE LOOKOUT LIGHTHOUSE OPENS MAY 17

Cape Lookout National Seashore Superintendent Pat Kenney announced the Cape Lookout lighthouse will be open for climbing from Tuesday, May 17, through Saturday, Sept. 17.

Cape Lookout Lighthouse climbing hours and days of operation will be Tuesday through Saturday, 9:45am to 4:15pm with ticket sales from 9:30am to 4pm. The site will also be open for holidays, including: n Sunday, May 29, July 3 and Sept. 4.

Climbing tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for senior citizens (62 or older) and children (11 and under). Tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and can only be purchased in-person at the site the day of the climb. There are no advance ticket sales.

“At Transportation Impact, we have enrolled members of our staff in Leadership Carteret each of the last four years.

I think any of them will tell you what a difference there is between how much they thought they knew about the area before spending 10 weeks in the program, and what they know now. The course does a great job cultivating a knowledge and sense of pride in our community and comradery among peers.

“Leadership Carteret is a catalyst for creating leaders.

Being a leader means being someone whose lead others are willing to follow. Being a leader also means being able to follow as well.

a part in it all. Most importantly, it affords us all the chance to build long-term partnerships with each other as well as the rest of the county. It is because of these relationships that our businesses can become stronger. None of this can be done as a spectator.

“Please let us not forget the people of our county. It is their southern hospitality and pride for where they live that keeps drawing more and more people to our area. We have hundreds of thousands of people who visit our area every year just to get a glimpse of where we live every day.

“All of this is not accomplished by any one business or individual. It is a network, a team, a culture to make Carteret County the best it can be for our citizens and our guests.

“Reflect on the words ‘ripple effect.’ It is the continuing and spreading results of an effort or action. My gift to all of you is this single stone.

“Let this pebble be a reminder that if left on a shelf or in a drawer, it will have no purpose but to take up space. If tossed in a body of water much like the water that surrounds our county, it will cause a ripple effect.

“None of us will ever truly know how one of our ideas or actions might cause a ripple effect that will change things for the better.

Be responsible for putting things into motion.

Leadership Carteret classmates Janita Our Leadership Class Gonzalez of the Island Inn and Tate Johnson will not be known as of the United Way of Coastal Carolina. the best class ever because of who attended in 2016, but will be known as the best because of the ripple effect we will cause.”

ISLAND REVIEW 21

EMERALD ISLE

mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notes May Is Always a Beautiful Month In Emerald Isle WE HAVE MANY exciting events taking place in May. I am pleased to announce that the National Day of Prayer will be observed in Emerald Isle on Thursday, May 5 at noon. This year the event will be held around the flag pole at the town administration building.

Please join us for this most important event.

On Wednesday, May 25 we will dedicate the Sen. Jean Preston Memorial Playground which is located at the boat ramp facility.

This event will start at 11am. Words cannot express how excited we are to dedicate our newest playground in memory of a great public servant. This will be a wonderful new addition to Emerald Isle. I would like to personally thank each person who has donated and helped with the park. A special thank you to Trillium, which gave us a grant of $225,000. A big thank you to Judy Wilgus for her tireless leadership in making this dream a reality. May 25 is the birthday of the late senator and what better way to remember her birthday than by dedicating this beautiful playground in her memory.

May also affords us the opportunity to remember all of our service men and women who gave their life for our country on Memorial Day. This year Memorial Day is May 30. Let us remember and let us never forget the sacrifice they made for us to enjoy our freedoms. All too often we think of Memorial Day the start of summer, a big auto race, or a time for a three-day weekend. Let us remember with a thankful heart! In writing this article I found the following prayer from the Archdiocese of Detroit:

Mayor Eddie Barber â&#x20AC;&#x153;Loving God, today we remember and pay tribute to the men and women of the Armed Services who have died in the defense of our nation; from the days of the Revolution to these days in Iraq and Afghanistan. They paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we hold so dear. There is no greater love than this, than to lay down oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life for a friend. It is only by your grace and love they have for you and this nation that gave them the strength to lay down their lives. We beseech you God, to receive these servants of peace into your loving embrace and grant them the eternal peace that surpasses all understanding. We also remember the family members of these great heroes.

They too suffer a great and painful sacrifice. Bestow upon them the blessings of your consolation and peace.

May you ease their sadness as they continue on the road to serenity and hope. To you we offer this prayer knowing you fulfill the heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desire of those who seek you with noble intentions. May our prayer for true and lasting peace be answered in accordance to your will and for the good of your sons and daughters. Grant this our loving God.â&#x20AC;?

May God bless each and every person. Enjoy the month of May.

Town Hall, 7500 Emerald Drive Emerald Isle, NC 28594 252-354-3424 • Fax 252-354-5068 Official Website: www.emeraldisle-nc.org Published Monthly by the town of Emerald Isle for its Residents, Property Owners & Visitors Composed by Frank Rush, Town Manager

Offshore Energy No Longer Considered for 2017-2022 Plan THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT recently announced that the Atlantic outer continental shelf is no longer included in the 2017-2022 program for offshore energy development, and thus no lease sales will be conducted off the North Carolina coast anytime soon. This decision means that offshore energy lease sales will likely not be considered again until the development of the 2022-2027 program (4-5 years from now). The board of commissioners had previously formally expressed its opposition to offshore oil and gas development off the North Carolina coast, and the town is pleased with this decision.

May is Deck Safety Month!

To help promote greater awareness of deck safety issues, the month of May is designated as Deck Safety Month. The North American Deck and Railing Association has been assisting the town with various deck safety initiatives in recent months, and their website includes a great deal of helpful information – www.nadra.org/consumers/deck_safety_month.

The town continues to encourage all property owners (permanent homes, second homes, condominium units and vacation rental units) to properly maintain decks, complete periodic inspections and correct any deficiencies promptly. Town staff is happy to help our property owners, and there are numerous quality general contractors in and around Emerald Isle who can offer assistance.

New CRC Rule in Effect, Aids Oceanfront Structures A new CRC rule removes the 2,500 square foot size limit for structures in the static line exception area in eastern Emerald Isle, and essentially implements a 5,000 square foot size limit. This change restores conforming status to all Ocean Reef condominium buildings that previously could only be reconstructed up to 2,500 square feet (the existing buildings are approximately 4,400 sq. ft.). As long as the first line of natural, stable vegetation remains at least 60 feet seaward, these condominium units are again considered conforming. The rule change also benefits existing oceanfront homes between the Indian Beach town line and the Ocean Drive “dog-leg”, and these homes are now eligible to be reconstructed as large as 5,000 square feet.

A new CRC rule establishing a “development line” option is also now effective. This rule allows a local government, with state approval, to establish what is essentially “a line in the sand” beyond which no oceanfront development could occur. In Emerald Isle, it is likely that any new “development line” would be located just slightly seaward of the existing row of oceanfront homes in eastern Emerald Isle. Development would still be required to meet a 60 foot setback from the first line of stable, natural vegetation, so the end result is likely not any 24 ISLAND REVIEW

different than the town’s static line exception (with the elimination of the 2,500 square foot limit), however, it may be easier to administer in the future and perhaps less complicated for our oceanfront property owners. Town staff will be exploring the pros/ cons of implementing a “development line” in the coming months.

Construction Underway at Senator Jean Preston Memorial Park The board of commissioners recently awarded construction contracts for a new, allinclusive playground and a new elevated wooden walkway at the Sen. Jean Preston Memorial Park. Work is currently underway, and is expected to be complete in May. A grand opening ceremony is planned for May 25, which would have been the late Sen. Preston’s 81st birthday.

Work will also soon begin on a new parking lot and attractive landscaping at the new park. The town is fortunate to have significant (Continued on page 26)

2016 St. Patrick’s Festival Was Biggest Ever!

The town was blessed with great weather and the biggest crowd ever for the 2016 St. Patrick’s Festival held on March 12! Photos of the 25th annual event can be viewed at www. emeraldisle-nc.org/photos-from-the-25th-ei-st-patricks-festival.

Special thanks to all of our sponsors, including title sponsor Transportation Impact, the Emerald Isle Business Association and the Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation Dept. staff (under the leadership of Director Alesia Sanderson) for putting on another great event! donations from several area companies to complete this work, including SunLand Builders, Task Contracting, Yardworks, and Sewell Turf Grass. The town greatly appreciates their assistance!

Follow the Town’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan Work continues on the development of the town’s 2016 Comprehensive Plan/Land Use Plan update. A special website for the planning effort allows our residents, property owners and visitors to follow the progress and offer input into the development of the plan, and can be viewed at a link from www.emeraldisle-nc.org/ or directly at http://www. planei.org. The special website will include all information associated with the new plan, including meeting dates, meeting minutes, draft policies and maps, and more. The town will be conducting an online survey in the coming months, and we urge everyone who cares about the future of Emerald Isle to participate. More details will be provided in future editions of Emerald Tidings.

New Temporary Sign Rules for Nonprofit Events In an effort to balance the town’s strong desire to support the numerous nonprofit events in and around Emerald Isle with the town’s aesthetic goals and consistency with business sign rules, the board of commissioners recently adopted new temporary sign rules for nonprofit events.

A total of 8 temporary signs are allowed in the Hwy 58 right-of-way for each nonprofit event, with 3 signs up to 24 square feet in size and five signs up to 6 square feet. The signs must be neatly prepared (or professionally fabricated), and must be made of a rigid material (i.e., wood, plastic, aluminum, etc.; no banners are permitted). Signs can be placed up to 30 days prior to the nonprofit event.

For more information, please contact town staff at 252354-3424. The new ordinance can also be viewed at www. emeraldisle-nc.org/Memo-03-08-2016-Item11 .

New Downtown Lights in Place, New Wayfinding Signs The town’s contractor recently completed the installation of new decorative street lights along the bicycle path and sidewalk between the Welcome Center and the town government complex, providing additional night-time lighting and improved aesthetics in the downtown area.

The town will also be installing new “wayfinding” signs throughout the Town in April in an effort to provide helpful directional information to key destinations for our visitors, 26 ISLAND REVIEW

Understanding Sharks off the North Carolina Coast The ocean is the natural habitat of sharks and other marine life, and sharks have always been present in the ocean all along North Carolina’s beaches, including Emerald Isle. Fortunately, shark attacks are extremely rare, and an individual has a much greater chance of being struck by lightning.

Although the risk of a shark attack is very small, you can help prevent attacks by avoiding swimming near areas where people are fishing, staying out or the water if you are bleeding, by swimming in groups, and by refraining from wearing jewelry or brightly colored clothing in the water.

NC Sea Grant, a research and public education institution affiliated with several North Carolina universities, offers excellent information about sharks in North Carolina at ncseagrant.ncsu.edu/sharks.

Food Vendors at Eastern Access and Western Access For the first time, the town will allow Emerald-Isle based food vendors to operate at the town’s two regional beach access facilities. Beginning in May, patrons of these two facilities will be able to choose from offerings from Jackie’s American Grille, Flipperz, Emerald Isle Wine Market, Ben & Jerry’s, Dairy Queen and Sweet Spot. These businesses will rotate through each facility, with one “meal” vendor and one “dessert” vendor operating at each location on select days this summer.

The town is implementing this program for the convenience of patrons of the regional beach accesses, to provide additional business opportunities for Emerald Isle businesses, and to generate additional revenue for future improvements at these popular facilities. Enjoy!

Beach Parking Fees in Effect The town began charging a $10 daily parking fee at the Eastern Ocean Regional Access and Western Ocean Regional Access on Saturday, April 16, and will continue collecting fees on each weekend day and holiday through Sunday, Sept. 11. Parking is free at both facilities on all weekdays throughout the summer.

Emerald Isle residents and taxpayers are eligible for free seasonal parking permits for these two facilities.

Parking permits can be obtained at the Town Administration Building during normal business hours. The Town does not offer seasonal parking permits to non-residents and nontaxpayers.

Music Festivals Put a Spring in Our Step ATLANTIC BEACH IS hoping the third time is the charm as it unleashes the next installment of the Beach Music Festival on Saturday, May 21. The family friendly festival is held on the beach at the Circle from 11am to 6pm. Guests are welcome to bring lawn chairs and blankets as they cozy up to the stage. But with plenty of great beach music on tap, we’re sure it will be challenging not to get up and dance with area favorites.

John Moore serves as emcee as the Holiday Band, Band of Oz, the Fantastic Shakers and Mighty Saints of Soul bring take to the stage. The festival atmosphere will be enhanced with food and beer vendors along with T-shirts, hats and cozies to commemorate the event.

“The Circle location is an important part of our past, but it is also a critical part of our future,” said Mayor Trace Cooper. “Holding events like this at the Circle ensures that it will remain the heart of Atlantic Beach while we wait for the commercial redevelopment in area to take hold and once again make the Circle our downtown. One of the special things about the event is that we hold it on the beach along the Boardwalk.

This is a natural place of beach music, but it is also the former location of The Pavilion which is an important part of our town’s history and the history of beach music.

Some beach music historians believe that the shag was invented there.”

Leading up to the festival, several events are slated that honor Atlantic Beach and its place in shag and beach music history. On Saturday, May 14, a Jolly Knave Reunion is planned at Memories Beach Club and on Wednesday, May 18, the Doubletree by Hilton hosts a beach music celebration as part of the Chamber after Hours program.

During the festival, parking will be available at the Causeway Shopping Center, Doubletree by Hilton and Town Park, with free shuttle to and from the Circle/Boardwalk area every 30 minutes. Riders are only allowed one folding chair

per person.

While Atlantic Beach returns to its roots, more contemporary fare will be served up across the bridges in Beaufort. Always a favorite, the Beaufort Music Festival returns to downtown Beaufort May 20-21 after two years outside of town. When road work forced organizers to bring the festival to the Beaufort Historic Site on Turner Street in 2015, a partnership was forged that will keep the popular two-day event close to the action. And hardcore fans will delight in the news that the festival is once again free to attend.

Beer, it seems, has saved the day. For the past two years, a free event was held on Friday and the main event on Saturday required a small ticket price. Last year, however, with the advent of beer sales, organizers found there is more than one way to raise the much-needed funds to hold the festival.

“We’re excited about it,” said board member John Hackney. “It’s a community event so we’re really glad to be back in the heart of the community, without having to take a drive or a trolley.

“There are certainly pros and cons to both places, but last year when we moved the festival to the historic site, we really liked the location and they were great to work with. It just makes sense to hold it there again.”

An additional stage featuring North Carolina bands will be located on Middle Lane and a children’s area will be manned through partnerships with the Tiller School and Beaufort Elementary.

Bands scheduled to perform include North Carolina favorites L-Shape Lot, Midatlantic, The Paper Stars, Beaufort Blues Project, Tan & Sober Gentlemen, Banditos and the Low Counts, who brought the crowd to their feet two years ago. Music runs from 5:30-10pm on Friday, May 20 and noon to 10pm on Saturday, May 21.

rental signs The Furriest Family Members on Vacation WE HAVE A fast growing demographic among our vacationers eager to stay in our island homes. They usually range in age from a few months old to 14 or 15 years.

Uniquely, they also wag their tails when they are happy and like to chase shorebirds on the beach, fetch Frisbees and love beach vacations as much as the rest of their family.

Pet friendly homes are also the amenity which can assure vacation rental homeowners of increased revenue and better off-season bookings.

If you are considering marketing your island home as pet friendly, there are a few features that will ensure a great experience for your human and canine rental guests.

• Your deck should have a gate at the top of the steps so your furry guest can easily be confined while his human family is enjoying the porch, too. If you are a duplex owner, ensure that there are separate areas so pets from both sides won’t have to share the same deck.

• Stainless steel pet bowls are a thoughtful gesture (and assures they won’t use your cereal bowls).

• Another feature would be a comfy pet bed that can be laundered between canine guests by your housekeeper.

• When choosing your flooring, it is important to make

sure that it is not carpet. Hard surface flooring makes mopping and sweeping pet hair so much easier.

• A few tasteful signs posted in the kitchen or laundry room will help explain the local leash laws. Provide special pet bags for them to clean up after their pet while walking on the beach or in the neighborhood.

• Consider a small fenced in area in the shade or under the cottage for another comfortable dog friendly area.

The benefits of offering your beach home to pets can be summarized by increased revenue. In our analysis of rental rates, homes that allowed pets can actually charge a higher weekly rent than similar homes that do not allow pets. In the off-season, pet friendly homes statistically book more frequently. Last but not least, pet friendly properties can also charge an income producing separate pet fee which goes to the homeowner to offset any additional expenses due to increased pest control, painting or extra housekeeping.

Who are these dog lovers who love to bring their pets to the beach? They are the empty nesters as well as the millennials with no children who vacation frequently in the off-season. These are cherished dogs that truly are a beloved member of their household and almost always are very well behaved animals because of the loving attention they are given. If you are a dog lover, why not put out the welcome mat for the furriest members of your rental guests’ family and enjoy the extra revenue, too.

Local Units Oppose Expanding Monitor Sanctuary COUNTY GOVERNMENT AND the Crystal Coast Chamber of Commerce are opposing a proposal to expand the boundaries of the Monitor National Marine Sanctuary (MNMS), because there are “too many uncertainties with the proposal.”

In its formal resolution dated March 21, the Carteret County Board of Commissioners told the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that its plan is “vague and silent relating to regulatory requirements associated with four models outlined.”

The Carteret County Chamber of Commerce also submitted formal comments on this issue, noting that NOAA fails to justify why an expansion is necessary, said Chamber President Mike Wagoner.

The MNMS was designated as the nation’s first marine sanctuary in 1975 and was designed to protect the wreck of the Civil War ironclad USS MONITOR, located approximately 16 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras. Presently, the sanctuary consists of a water column 1 mile in diameter surrounding the shipwreck extending from the seafloor to the sea surface.

NOAA’s stated objectives are “to conserve, protect and enhance biodiversity, ecological integrity and cultural legacy” of each of its 13 marine sanctuaries, which is all well and good, Wagoner said. “We don’t believe expanding the MNMS boundaries is part of NOAA’s charge.”

The most aggressive of the four models being considered would expand the sanctuary to include three separate designated areas located near Cape Lookout, Cape Hatteras and Nags Head. It encompasses large geographic swaths of the seafloor and would result in massive water columns.

Wagoner said: “The unidentified regulations that would be forthcoming could negatively impact the commercial and recreational fishing industries, recreational boating, the SCUBA industry, dredging, sand and gravel extraction and future mariculture opportunities.”

“Until NOAA can quantify the economic benefits for commercial and recreational fishermen, divers, boaters, beachgoers and other tourists, the vhamber will oppose expansion of sanctuary boundaries.

“The chamber contends that perhaps NOAA has failed to perform due diligence and has not established a credible rationale for expansion. Moreover, there is no apparent plan in place for the future.

“Furthermore, the question remains: How will all this impact military and civilian use of airspace? The nation’s security depends on allowing American warfighters to perform training maneuvers off the coast of North Carolina.”

201 W. Fort Macon Rd, Atlantic Beach

power sqaudron news Local Squadrons Net Mayor Awards THE UNITED STATES Power Squadrons held its annual Change of Watch for District 27 which consists of 20 sail and power squadrons in the Carolinas. These range from local affiliate Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadron and others along the Crystal Coast to inland lake and river squadrons as far west as Charlotte and Winston-Salem. Over 150 members of 17 squadrons met in Atlantic Beach at the DoubleTree by Hilton oceanfront hotel. The chief commander’s representative was Vice Commander Craig Fraser, who administered the oath of office to the new District Administrative Officer Greg Shay of Raleigh, District Secretary John E. (“JB”) Bagby of Pine Knoll Shores and District Treasurer David McMahon of Raleigh. Other officers installed were Education Officer David Osmolski and Executive Officer Paula Stewart both of Charlotte, and District Commander Gene Alligood of Pamlico, who will guide the district in 2016.

Three squadrons in District 27 were named finalists in the US Power Squadrons Distinctive Civic Service Award among over 350 squadrons nationally and in some territories. These were Lake Norman, Cape Fear and Fort Macon Sail and Power Squadrons.

In order to be considered for this award, squadrons had to document their volunteer work. The Fort Macon squadron performed free Vessel Safety Checks, taught public boating courses and seminars, worked at the NC Maritime Museum, Webb Library, NC Aquarium, and Coast Guard Auxiliary. They performed other civic service functions such as promoting National Safe

Boating Week and helped provide boating activities during Military Appreciation Day. Because no other district had three finalists, District 27 won Top District in the Distinctive Civic Service Award competition. The sponsor of the award is the BoatUS Foundation.

The assistant director, Ted Sensenbrenner, remarked when he announced the award winner that, “The squadrons within D27 go far beyond their teaching duties in the classroom and demonstrating safe boating practices on the water. They have immersed themselves in their community through volunteer work and other charitable actions to assist those in need.”

The secretary department under Bagby won the national Distinctive Communicator Award for the District 27 website at www.uspsd27.org and for the newsletter Carolina BITTS which is posted there. Sixteen squadrons were also so recognized with the DCA including Fort Macon.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notes Street Art WHEN YOU WORK for a town, travelling takes on a different purpose. A few years ago I was in Los Angeles for a friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wedding. Based on the suggestion of an Atlantic Beach property owner who had recently visited beach towns south of Los Angeles, I drove down to Hermosa, Manhattan and Redondo beaches to see some recent streetscape improvements. My municipal fixation became apparent as I was facing away from the ocean taking a picture of a park bench, a set of recycling bins and light posts with excellent landscaping on the road leading to Hermosa Beach pier. A passerby tapped me on the shoulder and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You know the ocean is that way,â&#x20AC;? pointing behind me, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it probably makes for a better picture than the trash cans.â&#x20AC;?

Two more recent trips â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to Philadelphia and Mexico City â&#x20AC;&#x201C; reminded me of the importance of something that we lack in Atlantic Beach, public art. While in Philly, I commented to my friend Jeff on the number of outdoor statues we saw while walking around. Jeff, who grew up in Philly and is rightfully proud of his hometown, noted that it has more public art than any city in the country. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tradition the city has built as it revitalizes downtown. The public art is not merely a bunch of statues of Ben Franklin, but an excellent mix of styles and media that help provide Philadelphiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public spaces with a real sense of place.

In Mexico City with my girlfriend (none of the trips were

funded in any way by the Town of AB), reinforced the importance of public art. A Mayor Trace Cooper strong tradition of public art in Mexico City stretches from the murals of Diego Rivera from the 1920s to murals by modern street artists from all over the world who are brought into Mexico City for street art festivals and to enhance existing buildings. Again, these paintings helped create a strong sense of place. This was particularly so in neighborhoods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like many of ours in Atlantic Beach â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going through redevelopment and revitalization.

Strong street art programs are currently in place closer to home in places like Richmond and Miami. And, there is an increasing level of public art in Raleigh. They provide a better looking community and, if done properly, are a draw to artsoriented visitors.

About a year ago, I wrote in these pages that we would be starting a citizenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s community to develop a plan for making the town a more attractive place. I heard from several people who are interested in participating, but I had to delay that project for a few months while we focused on our park improvements and other key projects. It is now time to revisit this idea and I will be contacting those who showed interest to set up a series of meetings to develop a plan for making our townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s streets and public spaces more attractive and welcoming. And, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m hopeful that the committee will join me in support of public art as a tool for a making Atlantic Beach an even better place than it already is.

WOODEN BOATS DISPLAY IN BEAUFORT

WHETHER YOU’RE A boating enthusiast or prefer to keep your feet on dry land, the 42nd annual Wooden Boat Show has activities for all ages on Saturday, May 7. The show organized annually by Beaufort’s NC Maritime Museum, however, most of the displays spill out into the streets of downtown Beaufort.

The longest ongoing wooden boat show in the southeast, free to attend, celebrates the art of North Carolina boat building and the sport of boat racing. Dozens of handcrafted wooden boats will be on display and activities are available for all ages from 10am to 4pm.

Paul Fontenoy, Curator of Maritime Research and Technology, says the show has something to offer everyone, even if you’re not a wooden boat enthusiast. “We pay a lot of attention to making sure the show is not just interesting for wooden boat enthusiasts,” Fontenoy explains. “So we have 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 kids area. Families can team up to test their skills in sailing radiocontrolled model boats. And, kids can also make their own model sailboats. Enjoy traditional skills demonstrations & displays, educational activities, historic vessels, boat models, traditional sailboat races at 3pm, and sailboat rides from 1 to 3pm.

One of the most anticipated events is the demonstration by Jim Goodwin and his Ships in Bottles. Attendees will have the opportunity to see one of the best known craftsmen in the art of building ships in a bottle, a craft he will demonstrate on Friday from 5:30 to 7:30pm and Saturday from 10am to 4pm.

Goodwin’s “Ships in a Bottle” were featured in the Dreamworks’ production of “The Lovely Bones.” In addition, his ships in a bottle were also used for a sketch on NBC’s Emmy Award-winning sketch show Saturday Night Live. Most recently, Goodwin was featured on a segment of CBS Sunday Morning with Mo Rocca. His craft of shipbuilding has also been featured on WRAL’s Tar Heel Traveler.

Last year, the legendary Cricket II made its debut at Beaufort’s Annual Wooden Boat Show. Once again, visitors to the Beaufort waterfront will have the opportunity to see the fishing boat that 44 ISLAND REVIEW

May 2016

became the inspiration for the book and movie “Jaws.”

Fort Macon Sail & Power Squadron has partnered with the NC Maritime Museum to bring a Boating Skills Virtual Trainer for demonstration. Attendees will have an opportunity to virtually maneuver the Boston Whaler Dauntless 200 on a lake where there are no risks as you approach other boats in meeting, crossing and overtaking situations. The demonstration runs from 9am-5pm on Friday, May 6.

One of the main attractions at the Wooden Boat Show is the many traditional wooden boats. But, there’s another show that takes place on a smaller scale and it’s always a big draw for boat enthusiasts and landlubbers alike – the Carolina Maritime Model Exposition with model boats ranging in average from 25 to 40 inches.

The number of model boats on exhibit will range from 30 to close to 60 models. Often some members of the Carolina Maritime Model Society bring in as many as 8-10 models each.

“These handcrafted vessels are indeed a labor of love, sometimes taking 12 to 14 months to complete,” according to Grant Caraway, manager of the museum’s Harvey W. Smith Watercraft Center.

Attendees to the show will have the opportunity to vote for “Spectator’s Choice” award.

The award goes to the “most popular” model at the show and is voted on solely by those visitors. The exposition is held in the auditorium of the North Carolina Maritime Museum.

On Thursday, May 5, and Friday, May 6, free boat rides will be offered from 1 to 4pm outside the Watercraft Center (a $5 per person donation is suggested, which goes toward the sailing program). The Wooden Boat Show weekend opening event on Friday, May 6, includes a reception and live music from 5:30 to 7:30pm.

The NC Maritime Museum is located at 315 Front St., Beaufort.

How and When to Fertilize the Lawn VARIOUS COMPONENTS GO into creating beautiful, lush lawns. Lawn maintenance involves making sure lawns have all of the nutrients they need to thrive. Fertilizer is essential when feeding lawns, but fertilizing a lawn involves more than spreading fertilizer around the yard and hoping for the best.

Fertilizing is a process that should be done carefully and timed correctly for optimal results.

According to Scotts, the lawn seed and care company, no two lawns are alike and each lawn has different needs.

The type of grass and whether a lawn is mostly in the sun or shade may dictate fertilizer requirements. While many lawns are comprised of several different grasses, a general rule of thumb is that the lawn will need to be fertilized in the spring at the very least. After that, fertilization schedules should be customized according to grass type, climate and other factors.

Spring is a prime time to fertilize because the lawn is reviving after a long season of cold weather and dormancy.

Come spring, lawns need to be fed to turn green and grow.

Soil supplies some of the nutrients grass needs, but many soils lack elements that lawns need to survive the growing season. Lawn and garden experts at Lowes say a healthy and actively growing lawn uses a great deal of energy, and fertilizer will provide the boost it requires. Fertilizer promotes new root and leaf growth, aids in recovery from damage, reduces weeds and replaces nutrients lost to water runoff.

Follow these steps to feed the lawn and help it thrive: â&#x20AC;˘ Identify the type of grass in your lawn and consult with a garden center to find the right type of fertilizer for your grass. Many grasses are categorized by season and may be referred to as cool season, transitional or warm season grasses. â&#x20AC;˘ Test the soil to check for pH. You want the soil to be as close to neutral as possible so it can readily process the nutrients in the fertilizer. â&#x20AC;˘ Broadcast or rotary spreaders will evenly distribute fertilizer and will not cause striping on the lawn like drop spreaders might. Resist the urge to fertilize by hand, as you may lay an uneven amount of product, producing burns and brown spots. â&#x20AC;˘ Fertilizers come in slow-release, fast-release, and weed and feed formulations. Which fertilizer you use will depend on the type of grass you have and how much time you have to devote to lawn maintenance. Slowrelease fertilizers may be preferable because they do not need to be reapplied often. â&#x20AC;˘ Use caution and set the spreader to distribute less product if you are unsure how much to apply. Excessive fertilizer can damage a lawn. â&#x20AC;˘ Water the lawn well after application, and always follow the fertilizer manufacturerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instructions. â&#x20AC;˘ Keep people and pets off of the lawn for a day or two after application. â&#x20AC;˘ Scotts recommends that lawns with warm-season grass be fed over the summer as they grow steadily from spring to fall. â&#x20AC;˘ Another application of fertilizer in the fall will supply lawns with nutrients to continue to grow and then survive winter.

Build a strong lawn by feeding it effectively. Dense, healthy lawns can strangle weeds and lead to beautiful landscapes.

tourism BAROMETER READY, SET â&#x20AC;Ś SUMMER! HAPPILY, SUMMER IS rapidly approaching and the number of visitors to our respective visitor centers is already tripling what they were last year during this time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great news for the tourism industry! In preparation for what is already proving to be a record tourist season, the Crystal Coast TDA, and its agency partners have some very exciting events in the works. Two of the upcoming events you may recognize from last year, as they are back by popular demand. The third event is a brand new affair that is sure to take the Crystal Coast by storm.

Kicking off in the middle of this month is the 2nd Bogue Banks Kiteboarding Festival, taking place across various scenic Bogue Banks locations from May 17-22. The festival is being referred to as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;BDF,â&#x20AC;? meaning it includes three major events: Big Air, Downwind and Freestyle. Due to the diverse wind and water conditions required for each event, the festival is strategically structured across multiple days.

shorelines Update and Status of Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Exploration

BY NOW YOU have likely heard the Atlantic has been removed entirely from the Proposed Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Oil and Gas Leasing Program for 2017–2022. This was a presidential administration decision announced on March 15, via a joint press release by the Dept. of Interior and their subsidiary agency, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM). From a procedural standpoint, Section 18 of the OCS Lands Act requires the Secretary of the Interior to prepare and maintain a schedule of proposed OCS oil and gas lease sales determined to ‘‘best meet national energy needs for the 5-year period following its approval or re-approval.’’

Hence the 2017-2022 Leasing Program is intended to supersede the current 2012-17 Leasing Program.

ing (to no fault of BOEM). Ultimately, 5-year leasing programs need to be approved (i.e., finalized) and each lease sale will go through a prelease evaluation and decision process considering reasonable alternative lease sale configurations, reductions, and/or restrictions within that area. Leases are traditionally offered in blocks that are 9-square miles (3 miles on a side), so the final sales have a checkerboard type of appearance in map view representing the number of individual 9-square mile leasing blocks. Figure 2 is a map depicting the active leases in the Gulf of Mexico that should convey a mental image of the “checkerboard” mentioned immediately above – remember these leases have been sold, rented, and even developed over the course of many 5-year programs.

Seismic Surveys Despite the administration’s removal of the Atlantic OCS from the 2017-2022 leasing program, oil and gas exploration is far from being “a done deal.” Preceding the issuance of the Draft 2017-2022 Leasing Program, BOEM worked with several companies in an effort to produce a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) enabling geological and geophysical work to progress in the Atlantic. A final record of decision was issued in 2014 and ideally the EIS would be the environmental document these companies could use to secure individual permits to conduct seismic surveying and other geophysical work (i.e., sediment sampling, gravity surveys, etc.).

Seismic surveying is akin to an ultra sound of the subsurface. The longer the wavelength, the deeper it can penetrate as the sound bounces off density differences in the subsurface (e.g. – a contact separating salt and an overlying sandstone). An airgun emits the sound in water, and is recorded back utilizing a series of hydrophones trailing the boat. On a cursory level, these surveys will be utilized to understand the geology of the OCS – all the way down to “the Moho” (the boundary between the Earth’s crust and the mantle). More practically speaking, the seismic surveys are used to identify discrete areas of petroleum hydrocarbon reservoirs which in

Fig. 1 – Maps from BOEM’s 2017-2022 Draft Oil & Gas Leasing Program for the Lower 48 States. Panel (A) – January 29, 2015 with Atlantic OCS included in the Program. Panel (B) March 15, 2016 with Atlantic OCS removed from the program.

The 2017-2022 Leasing Program was first released on Jan. 29, 2015 and included a large swath of the OCS at least 50 miles offshore the coasts of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The March 2016 removal of the Atlantic OCS from consideration of the 2017-2022 Leasing Program was just a part of the evaluation process before the program is deemed finalized. Figure 1 represents a side-by-side comparison of the 2017-2022 Draft Leasing Program when first released in January 2015 and the updated Draft released in March 2016.

The huge swaths of OCS depicted in both of these maps for the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic are a touch mislead48 ISLAND REVIEW

Fig. 2 – Map depicting active lease blocks in the Gulf of Mexico sold historically over the course of many historical 5-year Leasing Programs. It was envisioned that if the Atlantic OCS was included in the final 2017-2022 Leasing Program, then there could have been 1 or several individual 9-square mile blocks offered as part of the initial sale.

turn; (A) could aid BOEM with constraining any future proposed Atlantic lease areas and develop reasonable market price for the lease block(s), and (B) for the industry, the seismic surveys will go into their decision-making process concerning

if the purchase of a lease and pursuit of an exploration plan is economically feasible. It is not uncommon for a single lease block to command $100,000,000s in the Gulf of Mexico. That does not include any annual rent payments, expenses involved with test wells, production, etc.

Entering summer of 2015 four seismic permit applications were submitted and subsequently received state consistency.

However in July 2015 the National Marine Fisheries Service under the auspices of the Marine Mammal Protection Act issued a formal solicitation requesting additional information from the public (i.e., academia, scientists, etc.) regarding the impacts of seismic surveying to marine mammals to gain a better knowledge base to develop an Incidental Harassment Authorization.

As a point of order, the National Marine Fisheries Service is a Line Office within the broader organization of NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) who is an agency serving the US Dept. of Commerce. In laymanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s terms, this all means the seismic permits have not been issued for these four seismic surveying companies, or others. The accompanying table provides a permit status for all geological and geophysical permits associated with oil/gas investigations along the Atlantic OCS. The Administrationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Department of Interior/BOEM) decision to remove the Atlantic OCS from the 2017-2022 Leasing Program is narrowly confined to the leasing process itself â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the seismic surveying application and permit process is therefore still â&#x20AC;&#x153;active.â&#x20AC;? This leaves us with a few unresolved issues; (1) The permits need to be released for the seismic surveying to be conducted. Will the US Dept. of Commerce/NOAA develop an Incidental Harassment Authorization and pave the way for the permits to be released? If yes, then when?

(2) With the Atlantic OCS removed from the 2017-2022 Leasing Program and the current state of the industry (large supply, low commodity prices, etc.); are oil and gas companies still interested in investing millions upon millions of dollars to obtain seismic reflection data?

(3) Lastly and tangentially related to number 2 above; once the 2017-2022 Leasing Program is finalized, a new presidential administration will be responsible for developing the next Leasing Program (2022-2027). The first draft will likely be released in early 2020. Will the industry find any advantages in proceeding with seismic surveying in the Atlantic OCS before then to constrain discrete lease blocks in hopes of their inclusion in the 2022-2027 Leasing Program?

All to be determinedâ&#x20AC;Ś

PINE KNOLL SHORES

GALLERY EXHIBIT â&#x20AC;&#x153;BEACH TOWN IN a Forest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Story of Pine Knoll Shoresâ&#x20AC;? is on exhibit at the History Museum of Carteret County through March 15, 2017. This display, produced as a joint effort of the History Committee of Pine Knoll Shores and the Historical Society of Carteret County, occupies the remodeled Rodney Kemp Gallery. The museum intends to use the Rodney Kemp Gallery to showcase the history of Carteret County towns. Pine Knoll Shores was selected to be first to exhibit, and in coming years, the story of other communities will fill the same space.

The intent of the current exhibit is to bring to life a few of the people and events that formed the foundation for the Town of Pine Knoll Shores. The story starts with native people, the age of exploration and early settlers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically, the Meginnises, Royalls and Abonita adventurers. Visitors stopping in this area of the exhibit need to be careful not to scare the alligator, typical of wildlife once common on the island.

Alice Green Hoffman came to Bogue Banks in 1915, brought property and left a light footprint environmentally.

In this exhibit, she is presented in a life-size mannequin wearing an outfit she favored while walking her Bogue Banks property. She carries one of her pistols. The mannequin stands out in contrast to the photographs of her, which suggest the life she led and the clothes she wore as a socialite in New York City and Paris.

World War II brought its share of changes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; roads, utilities and the introduction of thousands of people from around the country. When walking through the World War II area, visitors are introduced to the many military activities that shaped Carteret County, Bogue Banks and Pine Knoll Shores after the war.

By the late 1930s, Hoffman was a full-time resident and her nieceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, the grandchildren of President Theodore Roosevelt, legally assumed rights to her property. However, it was not until 1953 that the Roosevelt family and some local North Carolinians began development. They worked for the next 30 years building a community that today still has a concern for preserving the natural environment, a legacy of President Teddy Roosevelt and Alice Hoffman. Current photos and artifacts reveal not only the look but also the way of life in this beach town in a forest. A touchscreen adds pictures and stories for those who want more.

PINE KNOLL SHORES

mayor’s notes Subjects of Spring HERE WE ARE in the middle of Spring! Time is still flying!

There is not only a lot going on in our town, but a lot coming to town in the next few months.

In case you haven’t heard, there is an excellent display of the history of Pine Knoll Shores at the History Museum of Carteret County. Entry fees are usually $3 for adults. But because this is your town you can get in for free by getting a coupon from town hall or in the Shoreline. The fabulous volunteers from our town’s history committee did a great job in putting this display together.

The 9th annual Kayak for the Warriors, our annual fundraiser for the Hope for the Warriors will start on May 28 with a 5k Beach/Fun Run/Walk. Thursday, June 2, at 6pm, is the annual auction and Warrior Reception. The auction is at the NC Aquarium. The main event is Saturday, June 4 at 10am. This is our primary fund raiser for this great cause. The kayak and paddleboard race is great fun!

The fiscal year 2016/17 budget preparations are well underway as I write this. There is NOT a planned tax rate change for the upcoming fiscal year. As with all years, your commissioners and I, and our award winning town staff, continue to find smarter ways of doing business and take care of your valuable tax dollars.

In early April a joint legislative subcommittee on Municipal Service Districts met. Three towns in our state were allowed

56 ISLAND REVIEW

May 2016

to speak to the committee and we were fortunate to speak. The point of this was our ability to keep our beaches nourished which Mayor Ken Jones keeps us eligible for FEMA reimbursement.

This is part of our strategic plan and the county’s 50-year beach plan. It looks like we were successful in maintaining our Municipal Service Districts. This was a team effort with our town, county and other beach towns.

I want to say a few words about Summer Safety. This is definitely a HUGE summer topic and I can never say enough about you and your visitor’s lives. Slow down, watch for pedestrians, wear your seatbelt and be alert! Safety doesn’t just apply to drivers and pedestrians though. I’ve heard quite a few complaints about rolling stops, and problems with dogs on the beach. We will be increasing patrols because of this. I’ll talk more on safety in our June issue, but constant reminders are always good!

We had great turnouts at our last two Dinner with the Mayor evenings. Our first quarter dinner was in Cary and our second quarter dinner was at the Clam Digger on Friday, April 8. The normal here is to have a great dinner (I don’t pay your bill, sorry!) meet some of your neighbors, and have a briefing on what is going on in your town. The next dinner will be on Saturday, July 8. We specifically schedule this for a Saturday in the summer for our out of town owners. So, please come out and join us!

club news PKS Women’s Club

PKS Garden Club

MANY PINE KNOLL Shores residents enjoy traveling but few have visited the more remote areas that have attracted Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club member Susan Toms and her husband.

Susan enthralled the club members recently with her accounts of living, working, volunteering and trekking in locations such as Korea, Bangladesh, Nepal, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, as well as locations throughout Europe. The couple taught for many years in both Germany and Korea and their love of travel brought them to many locations around the world that are not the typical tourist destinations. In Laos and Vietnam they did home stays, living with the locals in areas with no electricity and no toilets where the residents have so little but are so willing to share. She told of a small village where 25 children happily shared one toy. One of the most intriguing stories of her travels was achieving her goal of going to Mt. Everest Base Camp. She relayed her admiration for the Sherpas who travel for 1 month with 100 pounds of equipment on their backs over land that is all cliffs and mountains in one of most dangerous places in the world.

The Sherpas have “stolen her heart” she said. Though they spoke no English they enjoyed playing card games and managed to communicate and connect with the group during the climb to Base Camp. Despite the hazardous work the Sherpas are always smiling and eager to make friends.

While the people she met on her travels were all from different cultures and spoke different languages Susan has learned that basically we all are the same. “No matter where you are people want to connect, one on one.” She urged the club members to venture off the beaten path when they travel – it is a most rewarding experience!

During the short business meeting that followed club members briefed the group on upcoming club activities.

Once again the club will participate in the Mile of Hope for children undergoing cancer treatment. May 6-8 the children and their families will visit the area and the Women’s Club will provide a picnic lunch for them at the Atlantis Hotel.

Club members have participated in this event for the last several years and are anxious to do so again this year.

On June 3 the Installation Luncheon and last meeting of the season will be held at the Coral Bay Club. Club members will receive more information on this event via email and at the May 20 meeting.

PKS Women’s Club meetings are held at the Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall beginning at 9:30am with light refreshments followed by a guest speaker. On May 20 the speaker will be Pine Knoll Shores Building Inspector James Taylor providing guidance on home safety. Guests are always welcome to attend and new residents are encouraged to join the club to meet your neighbors and make new friends.

At the conclusion of the business meeting on April 13, all the members of the garden club set out, once again, to beautify the town of Pine Knoll Shores. Garbed in shorts, Tshirts, garden gloves, hats, weeders, clippers, and heaps of bug spray, they dispersed to the seven town gardens on Salter Path Road and Oakleaf Drive, Mimosa Boulevard, Roosevelt Boulevard and the Hereth garden at town hall. Following several strenuous hours of work, they assembled at member Gini Stambaugh’s house for a delightful luncheon.

The March 9 meeting was celebrated in great style – with High Tea. Members and guests sat at eight bridge tables throughout the room, each elegant table set with silverware and fine porcelain china plates and cups and saucers, and at each table a serving tray heaped with mouth watering petit fours, small tea sandwiches such as cucumber slices and cream cheese, pimiento cheese, cream cheese and olives, cookies and tiny two bite pastries filled with a nutty mix. Beautiful tablecloths of linen and lace graced each table and set the tasteful scene for the fine china paced upon it. Among the patterns represented were Wild Strawberry

by Wedgewood; Eversham by Royal Worchester; Osborne

by Wedgewood; Rose Spring by Shelly-England; Delarobia

by Metlox; Piccard by Savannah; and lovely green depression glass from the 1920s. Always present at special dining events, the club boasted three gorgeous flower arrangements, arranged right there at the tea so we all could benefit by the skillful techniques of the arrangers – Jan Corsello, Lana Hathaway and Kathy Blowers.

At the business meeting, President Kay Howe welcomed three guests – JoAnne Ferguson from Virginia who purchased a house on Arborvitae Drive; Sheryl Gearhart, on Oakleaf Drive; and Gini Herbst, Loblolly Drive. Howe also reminded members that in May, after the club’s business meeting, members would disperse to work on the five town gardens, followed by a luncheon at Gini Stambaugh’s house. After a lengthy discussion, a motion was passed that the club take on the project to install a Blue Star Memorial in Pine Knoll Shores. Another motion was passed that the club once again sell wreaths at Christmas time as a fundraiser.

Because of difficulty watering, a rain barrel will be installed in the town garden at Mimosa Boulevard. Vice President Karen Zaenker reminded members that the annual installation meeting will be held at the Coral Bay Club on Wednesday, June 8.

Chairman of the nominating committee, Donna Belanger announced the slate of the officers for the coming year – President Kay Howe; First Vice President Martha Edwards; Second Vice President Jean McDanal; Treasurer Susan King; Corresponding Secetary Karen Zaenker; Recording Secretary Linda Langheld.

The club meets at town hall every second Wednesday of the month at 9am for refreshments, followed at 10 by the program of the day. Guests and visitors are always welcome

S P O T L I G H T O N H E A LT H

Maintaining Healthy Kidneys FEW PEOPLE DEVOTE much thought to their kidneys unless their doctor advises them they are having kidney troubles. But kidneys perform essential functions in the human body, filtering water and waste out of blood and urine while also helping to control blood pressure. When operating correctly, kidneys can go a long way toward ensuring a healthy life. But when kidneys are compromised, the results can be very harmful to human health.

Kidney disease is no small cause for concern, as the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that more than 20 million Americans may have kidney disease, with millions more being at risk. Kidney disease may be even more problematic in Canada, where the Kidney Foundation of Canada reports that one in 10 Canadians has kidney disease.

Though family history is one risk factor for kidney disease, it’s not just genetics that put people at risk. People with diabetes, high blood pressure and/or cardiovascular disease are also at risk of developing kidney disease, which develops gradually and does not often produce physical symptoms until it has reached an advanced stage. Because people may not detect symptoms of kidney disease until it reaches an advanced stage, the NIDDK recommends people schedule routine blood tests to check their glomerular filtration rate, or GFR, which checks to see how well kidneys are filtering.

The NIDDK also notes the importance of routine urine tests, which check for protein in urine. The presence of the protein albumin in urine indicates kidney damage.

In addition to routine screenings, people can take the following steps to maintain healthy kidneys so they can live long, healthy and active lives.

•

•

Maintain a healthy blood pressure. A healthy blood pressure can delay or prevent the onset of kidney disease. The American Heart Association advises that a normal healthy blood pressure is a systolic number (the top number) less than 120 and a diastolic number (the bottom number) less than 80. The systolic number measures the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats, while the diastolic number measures the pressure in the arteries between heartbeats. Have your blood pressure measured by your physician on each visit (and no less than once per year), and speak with him or her about ways to lower your blood pressure if it is high or if your blood pressure falls in the prehypertension range (120-139 over 80-89), which means you are at risk of developing high blood pressure.

Reduce sodium consumption. One simple way to protect your kidneys is to consume less than 2,300 milligrams of sodium each day. Though sodium serves some essential functions in the body, helping it to regulate blood pressure among other things, people with kidney

disease cannot eliminate excess sodium and fluid from their bodies. The resulting buildup in the tissues and bloodstream can contribute to high blood pressure.

•

Limit alcohol intake. The NIDDK advises that limiting alcohol intake can help to keep kidneys healthy and operating at full strength. Alcohol impacts the body in various ways, and kidneys are not immune to the effects of alcohol. Alcohol can cause changes in the kidneys that compromise their ability to filter blood. Alcohol also can affect the ability of kidneys to maintain the right amount of water in the body. That’s because alcohol consumed in excess dehydrates the body, making it harder for cells and organs, including the kidneys, to function normally. Speak with your physician about your alcohol consumption and what is considered healthy for someone in your situation.

•

Consume a kidney-friendly diet. The right diet also can help people maintain healthy kidneys. A diet that includes kidney-friendly foods can prevent the buildup of waste in the kidneys while also helping people maintain healthy blood pressures. The National Kidney Foundation notes that foods such as apples, blueberries, fish high in omega-3 fatty acids, and kale are just a few kidneyfriendly foods.

Healthy kidneys can contribute to long, healthy lives. Learn more about the kidneys at www.kidney.org.

NATURALLY CLEAN FOR SPRING A Surprising Way to Make Spring Cleaning Simple WIPING AWAY THE grime of winter doesn’t have to mean launching an attack with dangerous chemicals. As you tackle this year’s spring cleaning chores, take a note from Mother Nature and rely on the cleaning power of a surprisingly effective natural product: vinegar.

During the last century, vinegar has become increasingly recognized as a low cost and eco-friendly household product.

From cooking and canning, to cleaning items indoors and out, homeowners are discovering that this eco-friendly, acetic liquid is as versatile as it is useful.

“Cleaning with vinegar has always been an effective way to banish dirt and grime in kitchens, bathrooms, the garage and the outdoors,” said Mike Smith, executive vice president of sales and marketing at Mizkan Americas, the makers of Four Monks Cleaning Vinegar.

Despite its strong cleaning power, vinegar does have one downfall – its distinctive odor. You can experiment with dozens of DIY recipes online to overcome this dilemma, or you can rely on a store-bought non-toxic cleaning vinegar such as Four Monks, which is made from a proprietary process that reduces the strong aroma and leaves a clean, crisp scent.

Learn how vinegar can make it easier to tackle common tasks around the house with these hacks and discover more uses for cleaning vinegar at vinegartips.com.

In the Kitchen • Clean off the blades of a well-worn can opener with an old toothbrush soaked with vinegar to help remove dirt and grease.

• Clean your ice/water dispenser by running vinegar through the system. Flush the vinegar out by running water through the system for 30-60 seconds.

• Rid your dishwasher of mineral buildup by pouring half a cup of vinegar into the reservoir and running an 62 ISLAND REVIEW

empty cycle. You can also use vinegar in the dishwasher instead of another glass cleaner to keep your glassware sparkling.

Renew sponges and dishrags by placing them in just enough water to cover them. Then add one-fourth cup of vinegar and let them soak overnight.

Remove dark stains on an aluminum pot by boiling two cups of vinegar. For stained and smelly plastic food containers and lunchboxes, wipe them with a cloth dampened with vinegar.

To clean a grease-splattered oven door window, saturate it with vinegar. Keep the door open for 10-15 minutes before wiping with a sponge.

Deodorize the garbage disposal by pouring in half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar. Let sit for five minutes then run hot water down the disposal.

Avoid using toxic chemicals where you store food; wipe up spills in the fridge with vinegar.

In the Bathroom • Rid a faucet of lime deposits by tying a plastic bag containing one-third to one-half cup of vinegar around it and leaving it there for two or three hours. Wipe down with a sponge and scrub any remaining deposits with an old toothbrush. The same approach can be used to remove buildup on a showerhead.

• The fizzing combo of vinegar and baking soda can unclog and remove odor from a tub drain. Pour half a cup of baking soda in the drain, then follow with two cups of hot vinegar. Immediately plug the drain with a rag to keep the bubbles contained for 10 minutes. Rinse by pouring a kettle of boiling hot water down the drain.

• Spray shower doors with vinegar after you’ve squeegeed the glass – or before you turn on the water – to help release hard water deposits.

• • •

Clean shower door tracks by filling them with vinegar and letting it sit for a few hours. Pour hot water into the tracks and scrub away any remaining film with a toothbrush.

To make the toilet bowl sparkle, pour in a cup or more of vinegar and let it sit for several hours or overnight. Scrub well with the toilet brush and flush.

Remove old bathtub decals with vinegar heated in the microwave.

In the Laundry Room • Remove coffee and tea stains by flushing the area with vinegar, rinsing and repeating. For wine stains, saturate the spot with vinegar and allow it to stand for several minutes. Then, wash as normal. Tip: For more delicate fabrics or precaution, test on an inconspicuous part of the garment first.

• Restore yellowed clothing by soaking garments overnight in a solution of 12 parts warm water and one part vinegar.

Wash them the following morning.

• Soak new garments in a few cups of vinegar for 10-15 minutes before washing to stop dyes from running in the wash.

• If frequent ironing has left your iron plate dirty, make a paste from one part vinegar and one part salt to scrub it clean.

• Remove scorch marks from an iron by rubbing it with a warm solution of equal parts vinegar and salt. If that doesn’t work, use a cloth dampened with vinegar.

• Forgot that you left wet laundry in the machine and it now smells moldy? Pour a few cups of vinegar in the machine and wash the clothes in hot water. Then run a normal cycle with detergent to rinse the clothes.

• Prevent lint from clinging to clothes by adding half a cup of vinegar to the wash cycle.

What Is Vinegar?

Vinegar is the acetic liquid that results when a product containing sugar is allowed to ferment. Vinegar can be created from nearly any product containing sugar; fruit and grains, such as barley and corn, are common sources of vinegar.

The ingredients in vinegar depend on the type of vinegar produced. For example, Four Monks uses distilled vinegar processed from corn, so it’s safe for your family. All vinegars are diluted with water to the preferred acidity before bottling. Four Monks has 6 percent acidity, which is 20 percent stronger than traditional vinegar, but gentle on everyday surfaces. This acetic quality is what enables vinegar to effectively clean while being safe for the body and the environment.

MAY ARIES (March 21-April 20) Things seem to be in high gear this month, Aries.

Others around you are just as boisterous, and it may even seem manic. A restless spirit is the catalyst for a new project mid-month – dive right into and let it use up all of that mental energy. Try to avoid slacking off in other areas though. It’s OK to escape into your mind and imagination for short periods, but soon you have to come back down to earth. It’s a busy time, so make a concerted effort to be more aware of what’s around you so that you don’t miss a thing. Expect others to pay attention to what you have to say at the end of the month.

It may seem like no one is giving your thoughts much mind, but they’re not falling on deaf ears.

and games. Buckle down at work and set a plan into action. You have many good reasons to throw caution to the wind, but you may have to reign in your adventurous spirit just a little bit. You’re an example to others. Mid-month may prove to be a little intense, but you’ll muster the energy and strength to push on through. Balancing fun and some work-related responsibilities is key. It might also be time to make your love life a priority. If you’re in a relationship, you may find it needs a little nurturing to get it back to the level it was a few months ago. Even though you continue to adapt to every change thrown your way, always thinking on your feet can be taxing.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Taurus, you have been hiding something and it’s time you let your feelings out in the open. Pay attention to how others react. Thanks to your hectic schedule, achieving lofty goals may be a stretch, so aim for something a little more manageable and celebrate the achievement. You may find that people are pulling you in all sorts of directions.

They each want you to share in their good times, but there’s only so much of you that can go around. Financial questions keep popping up and you just keep pushing them aside for later. If need be, work with a professional to establish your goals. There’s lots of excitement at the end of the month. Be sure to catch your breath at some point.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) Circumstances beyond your control will make work a little more stressful than you had anticipated. Bide your time and listen carefully to your intuition. Most of the time you can trust that little voice more than outside influences.

Practicality seems to disappear when you have your mind on enjoyable activities mid-month. Find a way to be both fun and practical and you will be set. If you come up against things you don’t understand, ask people whose opinions you trust for their points of view. Educating yourself will help you move ahead. Instead of thinking everything through to the most minute of details, take a much simpler approach. You’ll rest easier knowing you cut out most of the drama from your days.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) If you crave adventure, Gemini, then it could be time to host a party or see if friends want to go out on the town. Staying home mulling over all of the options will get you nowhere. Though you may be content to remain out of the spotlight most of the time, when you engage with others you really can show just how compelling you are. Even though you generally like to keep your feet on the ground, you are looking to be a little adventurous this month. It’s OK to do something out of your comfort zone. When you do so, you may find out you have a wider array of interests than you first believed.

Concentrating on work seems quite challenging at times. Many interesting diversions are calling out to you. Ask a friend to help you focus.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) The beginning of the month’s contradictory cosmic energy will not help you when making decisions. It is entirely up to you and your gut instincts to make the right decisions this month.

You may be expected to step up and care for people all of the time, but this month you’re the one who needs some special attention, Cancer.

All you have to do is reach out for assistance.

A desire to bring more calm into your life could have you seeking out a vacation. Take the time to unwind and you’ll come back recharged. It sometimes seems that just when you think you’ve figured out how to play the game, they go and change all of the rules on you. Adaptability is one of your biggest strengths. It’s one of the many traits that encourages others to have so much faith in you.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, do not ignore the inner voice that is trying to tell you to take life more seriously. It can’t be all fun 66 ISLAND REVIEW

May 2016

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Libra, no matter how hard you try to get yourself heard, others just aren’t ready to listen. Perhaps you have to try a new approach to making your voice heard? When things become complicated, you’re the person people often seek to iron out the situation. You have a way of quickly getting to the root of a problem. Well-laid plans are the cornerstone of a successful month. Everything will go smoothly, but most days should pass without a hitch. Enjoy the brief respite mid-month. Take some time out of your schedule for some muchneeded pampering. Whether your idea of special treatment is a massage or simply sleeping in, make it a priority. Some intense social interactions may tap into your reserved energy at the end of the month. If you’re feeling tired and out of sorts, laughter and good friends can help.

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) You may find yourself in trouble at the beginning of the month because you keep on starting new things without finishing others. Pretty soon you will have a list of unfinished business. Scorpio, even though you normally think cooly and collectedly, this month you may be at the end of your rope.

Book some time for a little R&R to recharge your batteries to prepare for the activity coming at you mid-month. There’s no slowing down as you check off each item on your to-do list. Others may have difficulty keeping up with you. Delegation will be your favorite word at the end of the month.

When the going gets tough, start delegating the tasks that have you stumped. This will ensure everyone stays productive. You always have a few tricks up your sleeve and this month is no different. Reserve your secret weapon for when you need it most. Enjoy the good times ahead.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Restlessness can get the better of you early in May. Just don’t jet off on some spur-of-the-moment trip to try to channel your energy. You have things to handle first. Positive encounters, including an unexpected meeting with an old friend, could make for an interesting month. Your social life is booming.

Live creative fantasies mid-month because you might not have another chance to indulge for a while. This is the break you have been seeking for some time. You may be called upon to lend your special skills to a situation at the end of the month.

While it may not be a job you relish, you know ultimately it has to get done. Devoting your energy to pleasurable things instead of work has found you falling behind on some important things. It’s time to finally buckle down.

CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Finding yourself in the middle of a sticky situation has you trying to discover a solution to a complicated problem, Capricorn. You might need to distance yourself for a little while. You have a measured and methodical approach to your goals. This month, though, your sense of fun may take over and steer you off course. Honesty is always the best policy. This will become obvious when a past untruth you shared comes back to haunt you. Confess now to save face. Speak your mind because if you don’t do it others are not going to advocate for your needs. That’s why it’s so important for you to fight for every cause, no matter how small. Don’t let a few bumps along the way completely derail your plans though. You may feel discouraged, but this is only a small hill to overcome. Next month looks promising.

AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) A disagreement with a friend or family member could turn your schedule upside down for a little bit, Aquarius. You’ll get back on track soon enough and resolve your issues. Consider your words before sharing your perspective. You do not want to hurt anyone’s feelings, even if what you have to say is the truth. Word things carefully.

You have the physical stamina to accomplish many things. You will make a lot of progress toward goals mid-month. Make a list now of what you want to accomplish.Work may be getting on your nerves, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. It can be challenging, but you will handle it. Stop at the end of the month and assess just how much you have accomplished already. You will be amazed at just how much you can do in a short amount of time.

PISCES (February 19-March 20) Getting your finances in order will take more than balancing your checkbook. It might be time to make some cuts and follow a budget. Your selfesteem soars early in the month when you go out of your way to put others’ needs before your own.

Act from your heart, Pisces. Be patient with the people around you. You may be fast to grasp a concept, but it could take others a little while longer.

A few days away from the daily grind will help you recharge your batteries. Turn off your phone and enjoy the well-deserved respite. You are always quick at the start, Pisces, but unless you pace yourself, you are going to fizzle out before the end of the month. Try to be more steady.
