Daily oversight of clerk shifted to county managerBy Miriah HamrickStaff Writer

How much will the $160 mil-lion school bond slated for the November ballot cost voters if approved?

The estimated tax impact of the bond was the main topic of dis-cussion during an Aug. 11 public hearing, held during a meeting of the New Hanover County Commissioners.

As nesting season wraps up at the south end of Wrightsville Beach, Audubon North Carolina is beginning to shift focus to the inlets, where the birds prepare for the long journey to winter grounds.

Lindsay Addison, coastal biologist with Audubon North Carolina, said the south end colony had a successful nesting season overall despite a loss of open, sandy habi-tat some birds prefer following the beach renourishment project earlier in 2014.

Black skimmers produced approxi-mately 0.7 fledglings per pair, with a high count of 69 fledglings for 101 pairs of nesting birds. The black skimmers did not fare as well as they did in 2013, when 137 pairs fledged on average one chick per pair. Black skimmers will nest on sparsely vegetated stretches of sand, unlike least terns.

A handful of least tern pairs attempted to nest at the south end but the habitat they prefer was dredged away and no pairs were successful. In 2013, more than 250 pairs of nesting least terns settled on the south end of Wrightsville Beach.

A dozen pairs of common terns fledged a dozen chicks and two pairs of American

Tax impact of school bond debated

Michael Lee chosen to replace GoolsbyBy Miriah HamrickStaff Writer

The executive committee of the New Hanover County Republican Party selected Michael Lee, Wilmington attor-ney and Republican candidate for state Senate, as the replace-ment for Sen. Thom Goolsby during a brief closed session Aug. 12. The nomination will move to Gov. Pat McCrory for approval.

Goolsby, who represented District 9 since 2011, resigned from his post in an Aug. 2 letter to McCrory. Goolsby’s spokes-person, Dee Stewart, said he supported Lee as his succes-sor because the few months in Raleigh would give him an advantage if elected.

New Hanover County GOP Chairman Sam Ibrahim said Lee was the only candidate nomi-nated, prompting little discussion from the approximately 35 com-mittee members present.

Lee ran for the seat in 2010, when he was defeated by

The team of 14 Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue lifeguards that participated in the 2014 United States Lifesaving Association National Lifeguard Championships in Virginia Beach finished third in small beach and 10th overall out of 64 lifesaving teams from around the country.

Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue has won the overall title in USLA South Atlantic Lifesaving Association regional champi-onships for two years in a row and can now add a third in small beach at nationals.

The national championships finished Saturday, Aug. 9, with many on the WBOR team wearing medals for individual and team placements in the top five events, and a team trophy for the third-place finish.

In small beach, WBOR finished behind Destin, Fla. Smith Point, N.Y., took first place with nearly 40 lifeguards.

During its monthly meeting Thursday, Aug. 14, the Wrightsville Beach Board of Aldermen will hear director of planning and parks Tony Wilson’s unfavorable recommendation regarding the consid-eration of a mixed-use conditional use permit for 100 West Salisbury St.

The property was previously a convenience store but has been vacant for several years. The mixed-use development project would designate one floor of the building for three residential units and the other floor for retail and office use.

The development would require 27 parking spaces. With only 17 parking spaces on site, the applicant would need a parking exception for

10 additional spaces located within 400 feet of the main entrance to the building.

Because finding these extra 10 spaces could be problematic, the board will discuss any possible exceptions to the 27-space requirement. It will con-sider the time of day the residential spaces and the business spaces would be occupied, and whether those times would actually overlap that often.

The planning board, which voted 3-1 to forward an unfavorable recommendation to the board of aldermen, was concerned the project would create office and retail space when town policy encour-ages commercial space, such as grocery stores, drug stores and restaurants, which provide basic goods and service to year-round residents and visitors.

Among the issues the board will consider are pedestrian and vehicular traffic on West Salisbury

The parking lot at Roberts Market is now in compliance with terms in its conditional use permit after construction of a new fence bordering Channel Avenue completed Aug. 5.

Roberts Market, along with Lagerheads, Jerry Allen’s and King Neptune, was permitted in 2009 to charge the public for parking if it maintained con-ditions requiring trashcans in corners of the lot, an attendant to collect fees and monitor activ-ity and fencing along the back perimeter.

“Staying up to code with the conditional use permit is our priority,” said Allen Middleton, co-owner of Roberts Market dur-ing an Aug. 8 phone interview. “It is just as important for us to run a successful business as it is for Roberts Market to be neigh-borly to the local residents of the business district.”

Beginning June 11, Roslyn Gregory, owner of 8B Channel Ave., and Tim Taylor, owner of 104 B N. Lumina Ave. were two of four residents who emailed town manager Tim Owens with concerns about trash and nonresi-dent entry into the surrounding area as a result of the deteriorated five-year-old fence.

But, as Gregory and Taylor walked around the lot at Roberts

Market Aug. 7 they pointed to the new 6-foot-tall fence and expressed renewed feelings of personal security.

“The fence accomplishes our original goals as residents,” Gregory said. “It is taller than the old 3-foot fence so it will help to keep people from stumbling in our yard late at night and pro-vide us with a little more security and privacy.”

Taylor appreciated the fast response from Roberts Market to get a new fence built.

“By the speed in which this

thing was built, you can tell that they really want to help out as much as they can,” Taylor said. “I’m one block away, so I hope that the taller fence will contain some of the noise as well as any trash that gets caught up by the wind.”

Town manager Tim Owens and town attorney John Wessel examined section 155.7.10 of the Unified Development Ordinance before granting Roberts Market a fencing permit to build the 6-foot-tall fence.

“It took a little while to get it

straight because originally we thought that we’d have to go through a text amendment pro-cess,” Owens said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “But, once we read the section again we realized Roberts Market could build the fence at six feet.”

Roberts Market was granted the fencing permit July 10.

“Looking at the finished product, I think they stepped up and went above and beyond what they were required to do,” Gregory said.

Partnership keeps 2014 uncW beach blast safe, fun

marketing committee talks

social media, neW Branding platform


When more than 3,000 col-lege students swarm the beach at Crystal Pier Aug. 19, both Wrightsville Beach and University of North Carolina Wilmington officials said years of partnership ensure the 2014 UNCW Beach Blast will unfold problem-free.

“We have very, very little incident down there. For the most part, it’s a well-run event,” said Wrightsville Beach Police Department Captain Michael Core during an Aug. 12 phone interview.

Jon Kapell, director for campus activities and involvement with UNCW, said the longstanding tradition provides one last chance for students to enjoy the summer before classes start the next day.

The university takes many pre-cautions to keep the event under control. Three Wrightsville Beach police officers are con-tracted through the university each year for the afternoon. The officers work with security offi-cers, student staff and more than 40 full-time professional staff members.

Students with a valid student ID are shuttled to and from the beach to alleviate traffic on the island. Bags and coolers are

checked for alcohol before stu-dents board the shuttles and at every entrance to the event.

Kapell said the number of stu-dents caught in violation of the no-alcohol policy has dropped in recent years. He attributes the drop to a change in Beach Blast’s culture.

“We’ve changed the culture of the event. Students want to come to an event where they’re not dealing with drunken beach-goers and they don’t want to be the individuals who do those things,” Kapell said during an Aug. 8 phone interview.

Wrightsville Beach Park Ranger Shannon Slocum said the event is an opportunity to educate new students about rules on the beach.

“It really gives me a good chance to talk to these kids and give them the skinny on the beach because they’ll be here for the next four years. A lot of times it’s questions from A to Z about the beach and what the laws are,” Slocum said. “It’s their golden opportunity to ask ques-tions before we talk to them at a later date.”

Slocum commended university staff and students for their stew-ardship of the beach.

“They really promote pick-ing up behind yourself out there. UNCW has always been

The Wrightsville Beach Marketing Advisory Committee celebrated several 2013-14 fiscal year end successes dur-ing its Aug. 12 meeting.

Shawn Braden, Wilmington Beaches and Convention Visitors Bureau vice president of marketing, reported Wrightsville Beach finished the fiscal year up 5.24 percent.

“This is the third consecutive fiscal year we’ve achieved ROT benchmarks,” Braden said. “With weather, with Arthur, you name it. We were really excited about that.”

Braden also brought up two major accolades Wrightsville Beach had received in the past year. National Geographic voted Wrightsville Beach one of America’s Best Beach Towns and USA Today listed the Blockade Runner Beach Resort in its 10 Best: Beach resort kids’ clubs.

Braden highlighted several ways her organization adver-tised the accolades, including posting the news to various social media platforms as well as the Town of Wrightsville Beach website. She said she would continue to pursue instate media outlets to receive additional coverage about both accolades.

Braden explained how Leah Knepper, French West Vaughan account director, used various forms of social media to promote newsworthy information about the town.

“Anytime we have breaking news, she’s using Twitter, so if we get accolades she immediately posts those,” Braden said.

Because Knepper could not attend the meeting in person, the committee contacted her by phone to learn how to take full advantage of the advertising potential of social media. The committee members inquired about promoted posts, a Facebook feature that allows businesses to pay a fee to have their post seen by more users.

“We look for posts that are trending upward, with lots of people are talking about it and interacting with it,” Knepper explained. “The way Facebook algorithms work, if we have a post that’s trending upwards, we put an additional budget behind it to exponentially increase the number of people that see it.”

The committee members decided to address the issue of promoted posts, and specifically how to budget them, in more depth at the next meeting.

During the second half of the meeting, Scott Scaggs and Natalie Perkins of Clean Design presented a new advertis-ing campaign, which will run in various digital and print publications in the coming year.

A North Carolina Division of Tourism focus group study revealed specific reasons people are less likely to travel to towns like Wrightsville Beach, including a colder climate and lack of kid-friendly activities.

Based on that information, Clean Design pitched two concepts, communicating the message of “vibrant and alive” as a brand platform. One set of ads emphasized the fun activities in the area while the other set focused on quality time with family and friends. Both concepts uti-lized photographs of the Wrightsville Beach community to capture attention.

“Visually is definitely the best way to get across this idea of engaging activities,” Scaggs said, “and we get an emotional response from an image.”email [email protected]

a champion of making sure the place looks cleaner than it was before,” Slocum said.

Following the event, the UNCW chapter of the Surfrider Foundation will host a beach sweep to clean up and offer an

opportunity for students to get involved in efforts to preserve and protect the beach.

Kapell said the university values its relationship with Wrightsville Beach and hopes to maintain the confidence of town

officials and residents by leav-ing the beach in the best possible shape.

“We’ve enjoyed the relation-ship and the opportunity to have the event at Wrightsville Beach and we look forward to many

more continued years,” Kapell said.

In the event of inclement weather, Beach Blast will be cancelled. email [email protected]

Citizen involvement moves comprehensive plan forwardBy Miriah HamrickStaff Writer

New Hanover County’s first comprehensive plan is one step closer to completion.

During an Aug. 12 presenta-tion, county planning staff and community volunteers presented 25 citizen-generated priorities to shape future growth. Jennifer Rigby, the county’s long-range planner in charge of the plan, com-mended 161 volunteers for logging more than 800 hours from March through July to brainstorm and draft the policies.

“Sometimes conversations were lively and spirited in our theme committee meetings but the one thing that remained the same was that we all have shared one goal, and that was to make New Hanover County a place that our children and our grandchildren

would want to grow up in,” Rigby said during the presentation.

Volunteers worked in six com-mittees, each focused on priorities for future growth including: fair and equitable access to needs like safety, health services and housing; economic resiliency; infrastructure development that retains qual-ity-of-life and preserves natural resources; and compatibility and cooperation with adjacent juris-dictions for regional growth.

The draft policies will now move to a citizen advisory com-mittee, comprised of six county commission appointees and one representative from each theme committee. The citizen advisory committee will use public feedback to refine the draft policies before turning them over to the county planning board.

David Kellam, Figure Eight Island Homeowners’ Association

administrator, was appointed by county commissioners to serve on the committee. Kellam said he wanted to get involved in the plan to ensure the county’s resources remain protected and available for public use.

“One of my main focuses is trying to protect natural environ-ments and waters, the beaches,” Kellam said. “We don’t want to get so developed and congested that our recreational opportunities are severely impacted.”

The citizen advisory commit-tee will meet in October and November, and Rigby encour-aged the community to stay involved by attending the meet-ings. Through Aug. 31 comments on the policies can be emailed to [email protected].

“We’re going to have maps out on the table. People can draw on them and tell us what they want

their community to look like so we can go back and craft the regula-tions to make it happen,” Rigby said.

Katharine Ange, an American Institute of Certified Planners (AICP) principal with the Renaissance Planning Group, will help the county planning staff translate the citizen goals and draft policies into real-world situations and solutions.

“Now the challenge begins, which is to take the words and aspi-rations and actually mold that into . . . options for how this turns into policy and shapes the built envi-ronment of the future,” Ange said.

The comprehensive plan, slated for June 2015 completion, will update and replace existing Coastal Area Management Act land use guidelines and direct development through 2040. email [email protected]

Yacht club break in

At about midnight Tuesday, Aug. 5, the alarm went off at the Carolina Yacht Club.

A new bar will open its doors in downtown Wrightsville Beach Friday, Aug. 15.

With the 40th anniversary of Red Dogs approaching in 2015, owner Charlie Maultsby is turn-ing over the first floor of the bar to Jimmy Gilleece, who is plan-ning to reopen the establishment under the name Jimmy’s at Red Dogs.

“I wanted to keep that connec-tion with Red Dogs but I need to let everybody know it’s a differ-ent place,” Gilleece said. “This is the original Red Dogs downstairs so I wouldn’t want to be the guy that closed down original Red Dogs after 40 years.”

When it first opened in 1975, Red Dogs did not have the same dance club vibe for which it is known today. Maultsby recalled the bar going through several dis-tinct phases over the years.

“At first I just had the down-stairs open and the top was apartments,” he said. “It was beach music until ’82 or ’83. Then we kind of switched over to surf music and a little bit of dance music like Michael Jackson. Now it’s pretty much all dance and hip hop.”

While the original Red Dogs was only the first floor, in recent years it was the second floor that attracted most of the business. Maultsby said he only needed to open up the first floor of the bar during busy summer months.

“And it was like, I’m spending money paying rent on it and we didn’t need it,” Maultsby said. “I asked [Jimmy], ‘Are you inter-ested in the downstairs?’ And he said, ‘Yeah,’ so I subleased it to him.”

Gilleece was eager to run his own bar after years of bartend-ing around Wilmington. With four established bars in such close proximity in downtown Wrightsville Beach, he said it was important to bring something new to the scene.

“I think I’m going to have a country night on Wednesdays, have one-man acoustic stuff,” he said during a July 31 phone interview. “Maybe open up the front of it, fresh air.”

Gilleece’s updates included major renovations to the inte-rior. To receive a commercial ABC permit, Gilleece had to permanently close the door

leading to the second floor. He installed new TVs on the walls, removed the existing booths, made upgrades to the bathrooms and built a rustic new counter-top out of wood from a recently demolished barn. He left certain elements of the original building intact, including a safe that dated back to the 1930s when the room was used as a pharmacy.

Gilleece said bringing some-thing new to the scene was not only beneficial to his own busi-ness but also highly encouraged by the owners of nearby estab-lishments such as Jerry Allen’s Sports Bar and Grille, 22 North Restaurant and Lagerheads Tavern. Maultsby explained the unofficial agreement that existed between the businesses’ management.

“The only thing we discussed when Jimmy took over was, I said, ‘You can’t do anything to compete directly with me,’” Maultsby said, “and he doesn’t want to. Everybody down here has their own little niche and everybody’s got their own clientele.”

Co-owner of Jerry Allen’s Sports Bar and Grille, Kelly Baucom, said the bar owners operate as more of a team than competition, and the excitement surrounding Gilleece’s new bar would most likely bring more business to the surrounding bars as well.

“When you’re down at the beach you’re never going to just go to one place,” Baucom said during an Aug. 12 phone inter-view. “You’re going to venture around and see what else is going on. ... The more people that come to our area, the more business it’s going to create all the way around.”

Gilleece said he expects to attract a slightly older crowd than

“This is the original Red Dogs downstairs so I wouldn’t want to be the guy that closed

down original Red Dogs after 40 years.”

My thoughtsB y P A t B R A d F o R d

Editorial/Opinion

Last month at the end of the legislative short ses-sion, North Carolina State Senator Thom Goolsby resigned his 9th district senate seat.

Some might say, yea!; In his second term, Goolsby was not particularly popular with constituents.

Goolsby won election over former University of North Carolina Wilmington Chancellor James Leutze for that seat in 2010. He was re-elected by voters in 2012.

His popularity as an elected official may have been hampered by his voting record, which didn’t always match up with what he said, like his lip service to transparency in government.

Unhappy Wilmington women picketed his law office for Mondays on end. One has to wonder, was the Grand Old Party embarrassed by the “Goolsby’s Gotta Go!” protests? Or the unflattering news cov-erage in national publications like the Huffington Post?

That he referred to the Capital lawn Moral Monday crowd as “morons” entrenched the ire further, and both the unflattering news stories and the picketing persisted at his law office located in the 200 block of Walnut Street, sometimes lining the sidewalk all the way to Front and beyond.

His effectiveness up on Jones Street may have been hampered by investigation that led to the January 2014 N.C. Secretary of State office’s order to Goolsby and his partner in an investment firm he co-owned with James Upham, Empowered Investor Inc., to cease and desist from engaging in any practice involving securities or financial services business in North Carolina. The two men and the company also had their investment adviser registrations revoked by the Secretary of State’s office. They were prohibited from reapplying for a period of 10 years.

Those issues aside, I don’t know about you, but it bugs me when people quit a job early, particularly when the quitter was elected to the position.

Some might view it as another brilliant GOP move in a succession of these resignations to usher in the next candidate to ensure the likelihood of more votes on election day, but as the opposing party candidate in the Nov. 4 midterm election, Elizabeth Redenbaugh was quick to point out, “It’s clearly a manipulation of the political process.”

Redenbaugh was referring to the Republican Party nomination Tuesday night and expected appoint-ment by the Gov. this week to fill the remainder of Goolsby’s term with Wilmington attorney Michael Lee, the Republican candidate for that senate seat in the November election.

Lee ran for the District 9 seat in 2010, but Goolsby won the Republican primary.

In April, Michael Lee replaced Danny McComas as chair of the N.C. State Ports Authority Board of Directors. McCrory appointed Lee following McComas’ resignation from the board.

Lee had been appointed to the ports board by N.C.

Senate President Pro Tempore Phil Berger in 2011 and appointed vice chair in 2013. In April 2013 he was sworn in after being appointed by McCrory to the State Board of Transportation, Division 3.

This powerful board’s members decide the order of road construction and repairs in the state; it could be benificial to have a board member from New Hanover County complete his or her term.

With Lee’s latest appointment to fill the remain-der of the District 9 Senate seat, state law dictates his resignation from the DOT board.

While not required to step down from his posi-tion on the ports authority board while serving in the state legislature, Lee said he will step down to avoid any conflicts of interest.

The ports authority board is tasked with oversight of the state’s ports in Wilmington and Morehead City, plus inland terminals in Charlotte and Greensboro. The ports’ economic legacy includes a contribution of 65,000 jobs and $500 million per year in state and local tax revenues.

Any employer will tell you, turnover is not good for business. There is always a learning curve and adjustments to be made. Turnover of leadership is especially trying on the work force and work product, not to mention policy. Governing boards are no different.

The Republican legislative delegation from New Hanover County has made good use of a revolving door policy that pretty much disenfranchises vot-ers who have no voice in the matter. GOP leaders are playing the system for their own advancement, which is injurious to a democratic society, to us as voters.

In 2004, then Senator Patrick Ballantine stepped down from the seat and his then law partner Woody White was appointed to replace him. Ballantine resigned to unsuccessfully challenge Gov. Mike Easley in the 2004 election. White went on to lose his bid to hold onto the seat in the general election to attorney Julia Boseman, a Democrat.

On the House side, Rep. Danny McComas, a Republican from New Hanover County, resigned his House District 19 seat before the end of his term in September 2012 to take the position of chairman of the N.C. State Ports Authority. He would serve 16 months before resigning April 2, 2014.

Gov. Bev Perdue appointed attorney and New Hanover County Commissioner Ted Davis Jr. to fill McComas’ House seat. Davis resigned his New Hanover County Commission chair to take over the House seat. Davis then was elected to the House seat in the 2012 general election.

Now Michael Lee, the hand-picked successor to Goolsby is being advanced, for at least the next two months.

Imagine if presidents did this? What if president Barrack Obama said tomorrow, “Okay people, I understand that you don’t like me, so I am going to leave office and make Joe Biden your president?”

Gone to Glory

Thank goodness! The palm trees marching across the drawbridge have finally gone to Glory.

Thirty-one years it took them to expire. For thirty-one years every time I went over the bridge I wished them curtains.

Perhaps this time the D.O.T. will consult the tal-ented Harbor Island Garden Club for their sage advice on a fitting landscape not only decorous, but pleasing to the eye of all who enter our pre-cious island.

“Then the Sea and Heaven rolled as one, and from the two came fresh transfigurings of freshest blue.” —Wallace Stevens

Martha D. JeterEditor’s note: The DOT purchased the palm trees along Wrightsville Avenue and they were installed in 2006.

Most successful yet

oystercatchers on the south end fledged one chick per pair. Both oystercatcher chicks were banded and the Audubon team hopes to see them return in coming years.

Audubon counts the chicks after they fledge, or begin to fly.

Addison said some of the chicks and adults continue to use the post-ing and the area around it. One oystercatcher chick still roosts inside the posting, while crowds of black skimmer adults and chicks roost on the beach outside the post-ing around high tide. Audubon will remove the postings around the end of August, allowing time for the chicks to use the area to hone fly-ing skills before moving to inlets to fatten up and rest before fall migrations.

“They’re getting the hang of it. They’re like awkward teenagers learning how to do things for the first time. This is a difficult time for the chicks,” Addison said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “It’s good for the chicks to have a place to rest and be undisturbed.”

Addison said some shorebirds, sand pipers and plovers as well as terns and skimmers, have already started to arrive at Masons, Rich’s and Topsail inlets to feed and rest.

She said the first piping plovers arrived from summer nesting grounds in the Arctic in July.

Addison said female birds are generally the first to arrive.

“The males will sort of be stuck with the teenager chicks and the female … spent a lot of energy early on, producing the eggs, so she tends to migrate first,” Addison said.

Although some birds are already checking in, the birds will begin to arrive en masse in September, with peak numbers in late October or early November before they all leave for southern winter grounds by Thanksgiving.

Addison said Masons Inlet hosted more than 2,000 black skimmers in 2013. The Audubon team will monitor the inlets weekly to count the birds.

The birds are fun to watch but Addison warned against disturbing them, even with actions as simple as making them scatter while walk-ing down the beach or disrupting feeding.

“It doesn’t look like much is hap-pening but you’re taking up a little of that energy that they need, and if everybody takes a little bit, then they might not have any left over for themselves,” she said.email [email protected]

The overall top three beaches were Monmouth County, N.J., the Los Angeles County Surf Life Saving Association and Smith Point. Monmouth County, the overall winners and winners of the large beach group, brought 90 lifeguards to nationals.

Wrightsville Beach Ocean Rescue Lieutenant Hunter Hay was one of the leaders for the team and said the team did not know what to expect leading into competition.

“Going into the contest we didn’t really have much of an idea because we hadn’t competed on that stage,” Hay said. “We had been to nationals once in 2007

with a few people and scored a couple points but … we didn’t know what we were getting into.”

Coming off a repeat overall first-place finish at the regional event, Hay said the caliber of lifeguards at nationals was inspiring to see.

“Regionally you will have a few of the best guys show up; when you go to nationals there are the best guys from every region throughout the country that show up,” he said. “The most rewarding thing was just seeing that our guys were on par with those guys and in almost every event we entered we had some-body in the finals.”

Fourman teams from WBOR placed third and fourth in the res-cue races, and second and 15th in the landline race. Two of the

team’s female members, Kathryn Yarbrough and Lindsey Lynskey, placed ninth and 10th respectively in the women’s open Ironman event.

“We have guards working here that are on par with the highest at the national level, which is pretty lucky for us,” Hay said. “We are a little beach crew comprised of 35 people and we took 14 to nationals and placed third.”

Following the expenses the team had to front for regionals, fund-raising efforts were renewed to pay for the trip to Virginia Beach that included a barbecue plate sale at Wrightsville Beach Park dur-ing the Sounds of Summer concert July 31.

“It was a lot of work to put it together but in the end it really

did benefit us and it is something we are hoping to turn into an annual event because it gives us an enjoyable way to interact with the community,” Hay said. “They can hang out and interact with us without us having to focus on the beach and the ocean.”

Looking to the years ahead, Hay said the team could take the gold.

“If we are able to get things figured out with some of the different equipment, be able to compete in all the races and get a few more guys to go, I don’t think it would be unrealistic for us to be challenging for that top spot on small beach,” he said. “It would be a lot of work but I think we could do it with the athletes we are consistently getting here.”email [email protected]

only individual signed up to speak during the public hearing. Shell called for voters to make informed decisions at the polls in November, suggesting it is the board’s responsibility to provide necessary information about the bond to the public.

“I think it’s imperative that the citizens understand the bond issue and what its cost is to the county, what its impacts are to the county. The citizens look to the elected officials for that leader-ship,” he said.

Shell provided a more modest estimate of the bond’s highest impact to the county tax rate than numbers calculated by county staff at 2 cents instead of 4 cents per $100 of property value.

The current county tax rate is

55.4 cents per $100.During a July 21 meeting,

county finance director Lisa Wurtzbacher reported to the board that the average tax impact of the bond over its 20-year life is 3 cents, if approved. She said the tax impact would be higher at the beginning of the debt’s life, requiring a 4 cent increase in the 2015-16 fiscal year.

During a May presentation of the 2014-15 budget, county manager Chris Coudriet said the county would see a 5 cent increase in the 2015-16 fiscal year to meet debt obligations from voter-approved bonds in 2006 and 2008.

“No one’s going to vote, in my opinion, for a 9 cent tax increase if they think that’s what’s going to happen,” Shell said.

Coudriet warned of conflating the two tax increases predicted

for the 2015-16 fiscal year, argu-ing the 5 cent raise is needed to pay for existing debt obligations whether or not voters approve the school bond in November.

“That 5 cents has nothing to do with the future as it relates to a $160 million bond,” Coudriet said.

Chairman Woody White agreed with Shell about the need to edu-cate voters and shared a few facts motivating his decision to not support the bond.

White said citizens will see property taxes raise under all estimates. He compared the tax burden of county residents in 1994 to 2014, which has increased despite growth in the population and assessed value of the county tax base.

Facing mounting county debt, White questioned the sustainabil-ity of assuming more debt to fund

growth and improvements. “We cannot dispute the facts

that over 20 years, two decades, there’s been a migration in this county, and every other county and every other state across the country, of funding public ser-vices through the debt market,” White said. “It’s not a trend we can sustain.”

Commissioner Jonathan Barfield Jr. responded to White, suggesting citizens who support continued growth of the commu-nity understand it comes at a cost.

“The citizens, they’re demand-ing certain things in their community. ... They want these things and they understand, I believe, that if you want some-thing, it’s going to come with a price tag,” Barfield said.

The board voted 3-1, with White dissenting, to adopt the bond order, directing the clerk

to the board to file a sworn state-ment of county debt, available for public inspection, and establish-ing the board’s authority to levy a tax to pay the principal and inter-est on the bond if approved.

County staff estimates the bond will accrue an additional $68 mil-lion in interest over its expected life.

The $160 million bond will fund security, technology and infrastructure improvements to all schools in addition to a $7 million project to renovate and expand Wrightsville Beach School, construction of a new 595-seat elementary school in the northeastern part of the county, and demolition and reconstruc-tion of College Park and Blair Elementary Schools.

In other business, commission-ers granted Coudriet authority to oversee the daily operations of

the clerk to the board and two deputy clerks.

The change in supervision follows the abrupt resignation of former clerk Sheila Schult July 21. Schult stepped down after more than 10 years of ser-vice after learning a majority of commissioners questioned her service to the board during a meeting with Coudriet.

State law dictates the clerk serves at the pleasure of the board. Coudriet said the clerk will still serve at the pleasure of the board, but his office will now provide additional support.

Commissioners tapped deputy clerk Teresa Elmore to serve as interim clerk during an Aug. 7 agenda review. The board will hire a permanent replacement after the November election.email [email protected]

Goolsby in the Republican pri-mary. Goolsby endorsed Lee during the 2014 primary.

Lee said he was surprised by the situation but grateful for the opportunity.

“I’m really humbled and honored that they would recom-mend me to the governor to fill Sen. Goolsby’s term,” he said fol-lowing the nomination.

Following the nomination, Ibrahim acknowledged it as a commonly followed process.

“We’re not trying to play any-thing unfair. We’re following the process,” Ibrahim said.

Former Rep. Danny McComas left his seat in August 2012 to become chair of the N.C. State Ports Authority Board after nine terms in office, paving the way for Ted Davis Jr., then chairman of the New Hanover County Commissioners, to serve early before he was elected by voters in November.

Lee was appointed to replace McComas as chair of the Ports Authority Board in April. While state law does not require Lee to step down from his position on the Ports Authority Board while serving in the state legislature, he said he will step down to avoid any conflicts of interest.

State law requires Lee to resign from his post on the N.C. Depar tment of Transportation Board. Lee said his experience on both boards is an asset in Raleigh, especially in discussions of job creation and growth in the state.

The General Assembly has not yet adjourned for the year, and Lee said he plans to be in Raleigh

when the Senate reconvenes Aug. 14 regardless of whether McCrory appoints him to sup-port important issues, like film incentives, as he has throughout the short session.

“I’m going to continue to be vocal about it. This is going to give me the opportunity to really engage the senators who are not coming on board with what we really need to be doing, not just for the citizens of New Hanover County, but really for the benefit of the state,” Lee said about a last opportunity for an amended ver-sion of the current film incentive to survive.

The General Assembly will meet again Nov. 17 to discuss Medicaid reform and coal ash management.

Elizabeth Redenbaugh, who will challenge Lee for the District 9 seat on the November ballot, called the move a manipulation of the political process during an Aug. 5 phone interview. She said the tactic is not always success-ful, citing the example of New Hanover County Commission Chairman Woody White.

White, tapped to replace former Sen. Patrick Ballantine in 2004, served in Raleigh for six months before Julia Boseman defeated him in the November election.

Lee said he plans to continue with his current campaign strat-egy moving into November.

“We’re going to be talking about the same things and the same issues. This won’t impact the election, from that perspec-tive,” Lee said.

If approved by McCrory, Lee will serve the remainder of Goolsby’s term through January 2015. email [email protected]

Street, and the design and layout of buildings and parking areas to be aesthetically pleasing with low impact to surrounding businesses, and environmental elements relating to soil erosion, protection of water resources and preservation of trees.

Addressing a separate issue concerning long-term water and sewer needs, the board will look at a study by Groundwater Management Associates, Inc. assessing the soundness of the Wrightsville Beach well system. GMA’s plan to maintain a viable water supply for the future would cost the town $50,000.

The board will also discuss the possibility of moving forward with allowing customers to use credit cards for payments to the town. A representative from First Citizens Bank will make a presentation regarding the best possible processing solution to meet the town’s needs.

Another item on the agenda is addressing the issue of the old landfill site, located on valuable land near Mayfaire Town Center and Landfall. The landfill was used for waste disposal following

Hurricane Hazel, but other than that, very little is known about the contents of the landfill due to dense vegetation.

The town recently contracted with Catlin Engineers and Scientists to review the environ-mental conditions of the property for potential development or sale.

The board will discuss whether to leave the site as it is, clean the site for a future buyer or clean the site and allow it to become passive open space.

To better prepare for regional disasters such as hurricanes, the board will consider allowing town manager Tim Owens to write a

letter to the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners request-ing the town be included as a part of the county’s multijurisdictional hazard mitigation plan. Currently all other cities and towns are part of the county’s plan except Wrightsville Beach.email [email protected]

The Wrightsville Beach School PTA hopes to ease back-to-school blues with two upcoming events before the 2014-15 school year begins Aug. 26.

An Aug. 16 kindergarten play date will take place at Wrightsville Beach Park from 9:30-11 a.m.

Elizabeth Beacham remembers attending the 2011 play date with her daughter, then an incoming kindergartener.

“Both my daughter and I were nervous but excited and immedi-ately felt a warm welcome from the teachers and other parents and PTA members that were there,” Beacham said.

Now president of the PTA, Beacham said the group organizes the event to make the transition less scary and uncertain.

“It’s to make incoming students and parents feel welcome, to ease the anxiety of incoming kindergar-teners so they can meet new friends and have familiar faces on the first day of school,” Beacham said.

Parents are able to meet school staff and PTA members and pur-chase prepackaged school supplies and T-shirts while kids enjoy a snack and play.

All students returning to Wrightsville Beach School are invited to an Aug. 21 open house,

where they will meet their teacher for the year. Beacham said the open house provides the same opportunities offered at the play date for students at all grade levels.

In response to the long lines that form to purchase school supplies during the open house, the PTA launched an online store this sum-mer so parents can buy supplies ahead of time.

The online store is located at http://wbspta.corecommerce.com

The prepackaged supplies are a big hit, Beacham said. The PTA works with teachers to offer all materials required for each grade at lower prices.

Beacham said she hopes to engage parent involvement with the PTA during both events.

“Many hands make light work and together, the more parents that

are willing to get involved and help out, the more things we can do for the school and the more support we can give to our teachers,” Beacham said.

Parents can volunteer time to the PTA or donate to One Big Splash, the main source of revenue for PTA-sponsored activities. One Big Splash was created as an alterna-tive to fundraising campaigns that make kids travel door-to-door sell-ing candy bars or wrapping paper. Instead parents can pay a $75 one-time donation per student to fund the programs offered throughout the year.

The next event on the PTA calendar is a Sept. 26 back-to-school carnival in celebration of Wrightsville Beach School’s 60th anniversary. email [email protected]

Guests who walk in to Wrightsville United Methodist Church Aug. 15 will forego their Sunday best in favor of their most comfortable dancing shoes for a concert by Artistry in Jazz. The 20-member orchestra will play hits from the 1920s through the 1970s

in a concert to benefit Wrightsville UMC’s outreach program.

Mikki Perry, director of con-gregational care, said the 2014 program will live up to last year’s event, which featured a great female vocalist.

“They play big band and swing music,” Perry said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “It was a lot of fun.”

Proceeds from ticket sales will go to a wide range of outreach projects supported by Wrightsville UMC. Hayes Perry, director of United Methodist Men, said fundraising is a vital part of the church’s mission.

“I’ve heard somebody say, don’t preach me a sermon, live me a ser-mon,” Perry said. “To give to other people and to help other people in need is what being a Christian and being a good person is all about.”

The 2013 Artistry in Jazz Big Band Concert raised $1,100 for charity and organizers now hope to top that number.

In addition to the Artistry in Jazz fundraiser, the church also holds an annual golf tournament and a fish fry to raise money. In the past, much of the proceeds from these events went to the Methodist Home for Children, a Raleigh-based organization that helps find foster homes for children in need.

Perry said the funds could also benefit a variety of other projects,

depending on where the need is. In previous years, the church has donated money to Eagle Scout projects, community members at Christmastime and W.A.R.M, a nonprofit organization in Wilmington that repairs the houses of low-income homeowners.

Perry said many of the outreach projects focus on helping children

in need.“There was one kid who had

behavioral problems, and we went in to the home and the fam-ily didn’t have sheets on the bed and the kid only had one outfit to wear, so we gave money for them to buy him clothes,” he offered as one example.

The concert will include

homemade desserts during intermission.

“I make homemade banana pud-ding,” Perry said. “It’s the best banana pudding you’ve ever tasted.”

Tickets can be purchased for $10 and picked up at the WUMC office. For more information, visit www.wrightsvilleumc.orgemail [email protected]

On the wraparound porch of the Gregory Cottage, an extension of the historic Carolina Yacht Club overlook-ing Banks Channel, three generations of the Bradley family gathered. They came from across the country in late July to spend a week together on the waters they grew up on and at the club founded by their patriarch,

Richard Bradley, and his friends.This was the second official Bradley reunion held at the Gregory

Cottage, but the family’s reunion tradition extends back 150 years, said Anne Russell, local historian, playwright and the great-great-great niece of Richard Bradley.

The history of the Bradley family is entwined with the history of Wrightsville Beach. As Russell tells the story, in the mid-1800s, avid sailor Richard Bradley decided to build on the island that would come to be named Wrightsville. At the time colloquially called the Banks, the area was Bradley’s favorite place for sailboat racing. He and his friends built a structure as an escape from storms and a hub for the Bradley family to congregate. Today, this place is known as the Carolina Yacht Club.

When Russell, now considered the family matriarch, and her cous-ins were growing up, they attended reunions every summer. During Beach Week, the gatherings were a time for family to come together. Throughout the ’40s and ’50s, once each summer the whole family would congregate and migrate from a great-aunt’s house on Masonboro Sound to Johnnie Mercer’s Pier, but would always end up at the yacht club.

“We went all over the place; it was very free-form. We would gener-ally go where the food was,” Russell laughed.

For the Bradley family, Beach Week was about enjoying all of the cous-ins together, continuing family traditions and strengthening bonds. But as the years passed, the family grew and spread, mak-ing it challenging to maintain the annual extended family reunion.

“We moved around a lot when I was growing up,” said Bradley Wootten, Russell’s first cousin. “But our family always came back to the yacht club. We all grew up around it.”

But for Jennifer Twiggs, Russell’s daughter, the Bradley family was never together in the way their parents had been.

“There became a gap where we all vacationed at the yacht club over the summer, but we weren’t all there together,” Twiggs said.

So, when Twiggs learned the yacht club’s recently acquired Gregory Cottage could be rented, she real-ized the tradition could be renewed. She and her mother set to organize a formal Bradley reunion.

“Planned reunions were something other families did that I admired, so I wanted to make this happen. I wanted to bring it back and have my kids experi-ence it,” Twiggs says.

The first official Bradley Beach Week reunion at the Gregory Cottage was held last summer, with a turnout of 20 Bradley family members. This year, 22 family members from across the United States gathered at the cottage. The family already has the 2015 date reserved, hoping to even expand to two cottage rentals, Russell said.

“These last two reunions have been the first time all three generations have come together as a fam-ily,” Twiggs said.

Apart from strengthening family ties, Beach Week passes family traditions down to the younger gen-eration, notably sailing.

With a dock on Banks Channel just across Waynick Boulevard, family members share the ropes of the skiffs. The Bradley sailing tradition continues as the more seasoned seamen teach and even race the younger sailors. Russell’s own four daughters and 10 grandchildren all learned to sail this way.

Watching her family sailing and enjoying the yacht club together again carries on the memory and spirit of Richard Bradley for Russell and the family.

“When I watch the parents and children having fun together, I feel like I’m back in my own child-hood,” Russell said, “spending summers here at Wrightsville Beach, with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins together again.”

As the sun lowered each evening, the gang made its way back to the yacht club for a meal prepared by family members. Everyone cooking and dining together has always been a tradition, said Russell’s cousin Susan Royder of South Dakota. Though today meals are held on the club’s back porch, everyone is finally dining under one roof again.

Within the Bradley family, a tradition as old as Wrightsville Beach itself is being revived and renewed. Though they look forward to their new summer tradition at the Gregory Cottage, the family will always remember where this tradition comes from, Russell said.

Today, the Bradleys are optimistic about the future of these reunions. “The young ones will definitely keep it going after us, they love it,” Royder says. As Wrightsville Beach has grown and changed, so has one of its oldest families. Yet its spirit and tra-

ditions have remained. And through remembering tradition, the family says, it will always stay rooted in its heritage.

Saltwater and surf stoke treat cystic fibrosis


S e v e n - y e a r - o l d R e i l l y Hoagland stepped confidently into the ocean, wading through the swirling currents and break-ing waves. He reached up to grab the hand of Hawaiian surfer CJ Kahuna, who was pushing Hoagland’s surfboard through the water.

The second annual Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day, Aug. 10 at Wrightsville Beach, offered children like Hoagland, who has cystic fibrosis, the opportunity to ride waves with surf instructors and profes-sional surfers from the Mauli Ola Foundation.

The Mauli Ola Foundation

originated as a group of surfers that wanted to introduce surf-ing as a natural cure for cystic fibrosis. Doctors found cystic fibrosis patients who surfed were healthier than those who did not because the salty spray from the ocean helped clear mucus from the lungs.

The foundation created Surf Experience Day, an event that allows cystic fibrosis patients to surf for three hours alongside professionals like Kanuha, Kala Alexander and Hawaiian cham-pion Sunny Garcia. Volunteers with the Mauli Ola Foundation travel around the United States, bringing Surf Experience Day to coastal communities.

“Since 2009 we’ve done a national tour,” said Hans Hagen,

Mauli Ola Foundation executive director. “Every summer we do a tour up and down the East Coast and spread aloha.”

Reilly Hoagland’s mother Laurie Hoagland said surfing helps the children both physically and mentally.

“It’s fun for them because they get a break from their treatments being in the ocean all day,” she said. “Reilly came down here last year and had a little bit of a cold, and after being in the ocean, it cleared up within a day or two instead of having to go on antibiotics.”

Many children learn to surf dur-ing a Surf Experience Day and then come back year after year for the opportunity to surf with the professionals who introduced

New book celebrates stage set by Thalian Hall


A new book authored by Thalian Hall execu-tive director Tony Rivenbark uses 126 pages of photographs to illustrate the role of the historic stage in Wilmington’s political and cultural development.

“This theater, in this community, has an iconic stage. This book helps to celebrate the building and all the people throughout its history that have helped make it what it is,” Rivenbark said.

The story shared in the book shows the influ-ence of Thalian Hall extends beyond the stage and productions it hosted. The building itself staged pivotal events in the city’s history.

“Not only is there a stage inside, but the outside of the building is a stage to some degree. You’ve had many, many activities on the steps and on the grounds of this building over its history,” Rivenbark said.

The project began 35 years ago, when Rivenbark joined the staff of Thalian Hall and began collecting and curating an archive of the building’s history. He said the organiza-tion wanted to share the photographs in a book and the slim, image-driven format of Arcadia Publishing’s Images of America series provided the ideal medium.

“The main goal was just to give the ordinary person in Wilmington an accessible and inex-pensive overview of Thalian Hall and what the building and its activities mean to this commu-nity,” Rivenbark said. “We came upon this idea of going through Arcadia to do something that was very readable, mostly photographs.”

Rivenbark supplemented photographs from the Thalian Hall archive with images, many

previously unpublished, from Cape Fear Museum, Lower Cape Fear Historical Society and the New Hanover County Library to create a uniquely comprehensive account.

“This book is like a candy box that’s filled with images and little snippets of information that you won’t be able to find in one location,” Rivenbark said.

He hopes people pick up the book and learn something new about the local landmark. While researching the story behind each photograph, Rivenbark often learned a thing or two — as he did while discovering the context of a photograph of a group of young people in period Swedish costumes donated by The Ministering Circle.

Names were scrawled on the back of the photo without any indication of why its subjects wore the costumes. Rivenbark began searching for an answer to the question posed by the picture, ulti-mately confirming the picture’s origin is an 1896 event similar to a World Fair with performances and informational booths showcasing interna-tional customs and cultures.

“This picture has been sitting in a room for 100 years and nobody knew exactly what it was. Now we know what the picture is, and that’s interesting,” Rivenbark said.

The book, released Aug. 11, is available for purchase locally at Thalian Hall as well as online at www.arcadiapublishing.com or by calling 888-313-2665. The cost is $21.99.

Rivenbark will sign copies of his book Aug. 17 at 3 p.m. in the Thalian Hall Ballroom and on Sept. 8 at 6:30 p.m. in the David Paynter Room of the Northeast b ranch of the New Hanover County Library. He will speak briefly about the book during both events. email [email protected]

them to the sport. Hoagland said her son might not have found the courage to catch his first wave during the 2013 event had it not been for the bond he formed with Kanuha.

“He went out a couple times with someone else and he fell off his board, he just wasn’t hav-ing it,” she said. “CJ saw him and sat with him for a good long time and said, ‘I promise, just go the one time and you can come back in.’ CJ took him out there and he didn’t come back in for three hours.”

Hans Hagen said one of the greatest parts of Surf Experience

Day is watching surfing trans-form the lives of the kids who come back year after year, like 10-year-old Bree Labiak.

“She wants to be the first pro surfer with cystic fibrosis,” her mother Lynn Grayden-Labiak said. “She goes surfing four or five times a week, lifts weights to help build strength for paddling. [She’s] doing phenomenally, happy and healthy, and I credit surfing.”

During the Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day, Labiak caught a wave to shore, carving smoothly down the steep, choppy face.

“Oh yeah, I would totally go

surfing every single day, no matter what the conditions,” she said while taking a break on the beach between waves. “I love just the stoke that you get from everything that happens [in the water], just being out there feels amazing.”

“You learning anything today?” Grayden-Labiak called out as Bree turned to run back into the ocean. At that moment, Sunny Garcia’s son, Stone Garcia, Mauli Ola volunteer and Hawaiian surfer, walked up.

“She knows it all already,” Garcia said.email [email protected]

Landfall will open its gates Aug. 21-23 for a free art show exhibiting and selling the work of 100 local artists.

Katie Watkins, orga-nizer of the annual Landfall Foundation Art Show, said the show is an opportunity to support local art and the greater Wilmington community, with pro-ceeds from the event used to benefit a num-ber of local nonprofits and programs.

“Not only are you con-necting to your inner artistic side, seeing what these wonderful commu-nity artists can bring, but you’re also contributing to the community by giv-ing back,” Watkins said.

T h e L a n d f a l l F o u n d a t i o n t a k e s 30 percent commission for each sale. The 2014 Landfall Foundation grants award recipients will be announced in November.

Registration was limited to 100 North Carolina artists, with priority given to Landfall residents. The 2014 line-up includes 31 new artists, some based as far away as Greensboro, Raleigh and New Bern, plus 18 Landfall-based artists. Watkins attributed growing interest in the show to the audience it brings and the opportunity to sell work.

Darrin Darazsdi, a Wilmington-based ceram-ics artist, said he is excited to come back after participating his first year in 2013, when he sold every piece he brought and snagged a blue rib-bon for best in ceramics.

“It’s hard to not go back after that,” he said.Watkins said she tries every year to incorpo-

rate something new and exciting into the show. This year, she organized a scavenger hunt as an art education tool to help visitors focus on the work.

“It really helps you concentrate on the art and the art form. It’ll be fun for kids, too,” she said.

Darazsdi praised the show’s environment as ideal for serious artists to display and sell work.

“I’ve done a lot of different shows in my time, juried exhibitions as well as things like Azalea Festival and Riverfest where you get everything from fine art to deep-fried Snickers bars. This environment is really nice, especially for somebody in more fine art circles because you get the cream of the crop in a show like this,” Darazsdi said.

N i c o l e W h i t e Kennedy, a Raleigh-based artist with strong ties to the local art scene, said she expects a hard task in judging the high-quality work exhibited in the show.

“There are a lot of really talented painters down there, so it’s an

honor for me to be asked to judge the ribbons for this show. ... I’m sure there’s going to be a lot of really great pieces so it’ll be hard work,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy attracted national attention for her Beach People series, in which she cap-tured Wrightsville beachgoers in classical Impressionist style. She said she is excited to return to her home away from home to judge the show.

“It’s a no-brainer for me to be doing this. I love it down there,” Kennedy said.

Kennedy will judge the pieces Aug. 20 and winners will be announced that day during an invitation-only reception for sponsors and par-ticipants. Blue ribbons are awarded to artists in each medium while top winners can earn $500, $300 and $100 for first, second and third place overall.

The show will be open to the public Aug. 21-23 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Dye Clubhouse. Nonresidents must enter through the Eastwood gate.email [email protected]

Local musician obtains global fan baseBy Pam CreechContributing Writer

During the summer of 2013, country singer Chris Bellamy released his ninth album, enti-tled “Bubbafied.” One year later, “Bubbafied” has worked its way up to 18th place on the country music chart on AirPlay Direct, an online platform for sharing and downloading music.

Bellamy hoped the album’s songs, which combine blue-grass-s ty le p icking wi th storytelling lyrics, would be successful throughout the south-eastern United States. After its release on AirPlay Direct, it exceeded his expectations, obtaining a global fan base.

“‘Bubbafied’ has been down-loaded in Australia, Sweden, the U.K., Spain, Canada and all throughout the United States,” Bellamy said during an Aug. 9 phone interview. “‘Bubbafied’ took off like a rocket.”

The album’s most down-loaded song, “River Ranch,” was inspired by one of Bellamy’s favorite vacation destinations: a campsite located in River Ranch, Fla.

“There’s thousands of acres of land for hunting,” Bellamy said. The lyrics describe River Ranch as, “away from the hustle and bustle of a citified kind of place.”

“It’s one of my favorite songs that I’ve written,” Bellamy said. “It’s got a Hank Williams, David Allen Coe kind of feel to it. It’s very country.”

Many radio stations have placed the song in the sub-genre of “Outlaw Country.”

Due to “Bubbafied’s” recent success, Bellamy’s previous albums have received atten-tion, as well. “Time, Tide and Tackle,” which was released in 2008, has climbed to third place on Airplay’s country music chart during summer 2014. “Oyster Man,” which was released a

few months before “Time, Tide and Tackle,” has also gained popularity.

“‘Oyster Man’ has become a crossover CD, and has been listened to on country and blue-grass stations,” Bellamy said. “‘Bubbafied’ has brought atten-tion to my whole catalogue.”

Despite the widespread popular-ity of his work, Bellamy doesn’t want to become a rock star.

“I’m 58 years old and I’m not looking for a big record label,” he said. “I just want to make good music and stay busy.”

Bellamy plans to release another album within the next 18 months.

Gary Bradshaw, Bellamy’s media manager, believes that Bellamy’s live shows have attrib-uted to his success.

“He puts on a good show,” Bradshaw said. “He gives peo-ple what they’re looking for. He entertains them.”

Bradshaw said Bellamy’s solid work ethic has helped him with his career.

“If he’s got a four-hour gig, he’ll play four hours straight through,” Bradshaw said.

Bellamy will team up with jazz guitarist Bob Russell for a show at Ogden Tap Room Aug. 23.

Film heritage from an outsider’s perspectiveBy Thomas van ArsdaleIntern

The Cucalorus Film Festival will celebrate its 20th birthday in November 2014. To celebrate the festival’s longevity in the community, Scottish film cura-tor Shona Thomson will create an event for this year’s festi-val that examines the impact of Cucalorus on the people and cul-ture of Wilmington.

Thomson spent two weeks immersing herself in every aspect of the city’s film culture as a Cucalorus artist in residence by meeting with the Wilmington Film Commission, the University of North Carolina Wilmington film department, the Wilmington Dance Cooperative and leaders of venues that will host films dur-ing the festival. She also delved into the film archives in the North Carolina room of the New Hanover Public Library.

Aug. 11 , she ga thered Wilmington movie-goers and veteran attendees of Cucalorus at the downtown New Hanover County Public Library for an open forum discussion, “Going to the Movies: From Scotland to Wilmington.”

“I’m not a filmmaker, I’m a film curator,” Thomson said during an Aug. 11 interview. “I want to learn about the cinema experiences of the people in Wilmington and piece together a live event at the Cucalorus fes-tival that looks at what impact it has had on the community in a creative way, using archive film, songs, photographs and dance for the 20th anniversary. That’s a long time for a film festival to be run-ning and maintain its identity.”

Participants at “Going to the

Movies” remembered the five drive-in theaters that operated in Wilmington simultaneously in the early 1960s, the old Cinema 6 theater on Oleander Drive and the Bailey Theater on Front Street.

Wilmington preservationist Beverly Tetterton wrote about the Bailey Theater in her book “Wilmington: Lost But Not Forgotten,” which was passed around during the discussion for participants to read.

“You can still see the Bailey’s front façade, but now there’s a parking lot where the theater used to stand,” Tetterton told Thomson during the discussion.

Cucalorus uses the façade as a canvas to project its logo during the festival.

“This is what I’m interested in,” Thomson said. “When I jux-tapose a 1920s film to a 1950s film of the same country, you can see a difference in the style of filmmaking and in how the people and places have changed on the screen. Then people can slot themselves in at the current time of 2014 and see how life has developed. It is a great way to chat about cinema and con-nect with the past, which really informs the now.”

“Going to the Movies: From Scotland to Wilmington” wraps up Thomson’s research of the city. When she returns to Scotland, she will begin assem-bling her material into a live exhibit that will run at the 2014 Cucalorus Film Festival.

“Now it’s figuring out how these wee bits are going to fit together, which is such a big part of the residency,” Thomson said. “Somebody likened it to a quilt with everything intertwining.”

Thomson learned of Cucalorus

in Scotland when she met festival director Dan Brawley 12 years ago during the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Since then she has become friends with current Cucalorus board mem-ber Hope Dixon Leech, based in Glasgow, and Ruth Paxton, a Scottish filmmaker and visual artist who will be a fall 2014 Cucalorus artist-in-residence.

“I don’t think Shona has stopped working since she’s gotten here,” James Martin, Cucalorus operations manager, said during an Aug. 11 phone interview. “We have had a lot of short-term residencies, but Shona has definitely been one of the most proactive with her time in engaging the local community.”

Cucalorus residents are given free housing in one of the festi-val’s three residency buildings, administrative support from Cucalorus staff and access to the micro-cinema at Jengo’s Playhouse for events.

“It really helps artists to come and work on projects that are based around or influenced by the city of Wilmington,” Martin said. “And Shona’s will definitely be special.”

Thomson says she wants to ask the question: Where did all the cinemas go?

“I want to start this conver-sation within the community through my event,” she said. “Having a conversation with peo-ple who are passionate is good for their wellbeing and the wellbeing of Wilmington.”

Cucalorus wil l be held Nov. 12-16 in various ven-ues throughout downtown Wilmington. For more informa-tion, visit www.cucalorus.org

At many beaches, male surfers outnumber female surfers. That will not be the case, however, Aug. 16 and 17 at the south end of Wrightsville Beach.

For the 18th year, Wrightsville Beach will host the female surf-ing community for the East Coast Wahine Classic presented by Crystal South Surf Camp and Indo Jax Surf School.

The contest welcomes surfer girls age five to 65 and includes divisions for all ability levels, from sponsored professionals to novices entering their first con-test. Competitors have the option to enter the longboard, shortboard or SUP surf category.

Although many of the com-petitors are from the Wrightsville Beach area, contest organizer Jo Pickett said she expects several

talented professional surfers from out of town to enter this year’s event.

“We have a standout longboarder coming from Virginia Beach,” Pickett said during an Aug. 8 phone interview. “Her name is Morgan Knight and she won it last year. Another pro longboarder, Leldon McClary, is coming from South Carolina.”

Pickett said she has been coach-ing several of the local girls this summer, working with them on their skills and technique, and she feels they have a good chance to do well against the professionals.

“I’m going to encourage some of the girls who compete in ESA contests around here to enter the pro division,” Pickett said. “I work with quite a few of them each morning, and we’re out there surfing all the conditions that the ocean is serving up.”

One of the Eastern Surf

Association contenders is Savannah Meeks. Meeks won the 15-and-under novice division in 2013 and this year she is entering the girls’ shortboard amateur divi-sion. She said in addition to eating healthy and practicing every day, her preparation has included refin-ing her competitive surfing to meet the judges’ criteria.

“Now that [the judges] know I can get up on the board, they want to see me do different stuff rather than just trying to catch a wave,” Meeks said. “You can only catch a certain amount of waves and the two best waves count so you have to be careful about that.”

Wrightsville Beach local Kirby Smith is also graduating from the novice division to the amateur division this year. Smith said the supportive atmosphere of the East Coast Wahine Classic fueled her interest in competitive surfing.

“It gave me the opportunity to

have fun and do my best,” she said. “I was nervous before my heat but the girls were really nice and ask-ing me if I was new, and now we’re all friends. It’s a good community.”

Pickett said 30 local businesses have sponsored the 2014 event, making it possible to hold several raffles and giveaways on the beach throughout the weekend. Activities like these make the contest fun for both the competitors and the many spectators that stop by to be a part of the atmosphere.

“A lot of girls that don’t want to compete still come just to be a part of the event, to be on the beach with hundreds of other female surf-ers,” Pickett said. “The sport has been male-dominated since its inception and the girls now real-ize that this is our time.”

Wrightsville Beach welcomes wahinesWeather continues to plague anglers, weekend looking up

hook, Line & Sinker

Our area has been inundated with plenty of rain, wind and thunderstorms through July and August, which have inhibited anglers just about every day of the week. Ocean conditions have not been pleasant, then add to that the severe lightning-infused thun-derstorms, and it just doesn’t make the prospect of heading offshore much fun. Inshore, muddy waters and extremely warm water temperatures, still reading in the mid 80s, have not helped matters much, either.

The good news, however, is the front that’s been bringing us all this wonderful weather is finally on the move, meaning clearing skies. Just as impor-tant, the extended forecast is calling for subsiding winds as well. Now if we can just get this dirty water flushed out of here, anglers will soon be back in business.

Shark fishing has been on the upswing in recent years, and during Shark Week®, the waters around Wrightsville Beach have more than their fair share for your fishing pleasure, from the smaller sand sharks and blacktips to the larger bull sharks and hammerheads, and many other species in between. Tiger sharks are also a possi-bility, but are normally found in deeper water than right along the beach.

Shark fishing along the beach strand or off the local piers is illegal within the town limits, but fishing from boats or even from the surf on Masonboro Island is not, and anglers have managed to catch some very large trophies from both. Some areas for locat-ing good numbers of sharks are around the mouths of the inlets, particularly during a falling tide when the inshore

waters are being flushed out, which in turn increases bait-fish populations in or near the inlets. Another good location to target is around the shrimp boats while the catch is being culled. The numerous by-catch being thrown overboard nor-mally attracts many predators.

Those seeking fishing char-ters just want to catch a big fish that pulls hard. Hooking sharks is one of the easier tasks for local guides. Getting them to the boat and releasing them without harm is another matter, and takes skill, knowledge and tackle large enough to handle the task. Having appropriate tackle in good working order is a must if one wants to wran-gle. When fishing for catch and release, it’s important to have a rod and reel stout enough to make the fight a short one, so the shark doesn’t exert too much energy and may recu-perate upon release. Heavy line and a quick fight will help ensure the shark is released with minimal harm.

Most of the shark fishing is catch and release, although some anglers do target sharks for their table fare as well. If your intent is to catch a shark and bring it back for dinner, you are well within your rights as long as you adhere to the regulations in place. A lot of sharks are off limits to pos-session and many others have specific size limits. Make sure to visit the NCDMF website to obtain a current regulation chart and make sure you can identify what you catch.

Above all, make sure you actually know what the shark tastes like before you take it in for the dinner table. You might just be better off releasing that shark and having the tale to tell over dinner at a local seafood restaurant.

Living for that one perfect dayBy Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

If someone swims in the ocean once or 100 times, the experi-ence always has an effect. For

the 250 kids living with autism participating in the eighth annual Surfers Healing camp Monday, Aug. 18, the experience could change their lives.

John Pike has helped organize

the camp since it began in 2008 and, as the father of an autistic child, knows firsthand about that first time effect.

“We live for this one perfect day … we always work hard and prepare for this to make that one perfect day happen for those fami-lies and the kids,” Pike said.

That perfect day for each of the 250 children involves a day at the beach and one-on-one surf sessions with Hawaiian water-men and pro surfers like Surfers Healing founder Izzy Paskowitz.

Every year registration fills up within minutes, Pike said, and this year was no different. Families participating in past events came from as far away as Alaska for Wrightsville’s therapeutic waves. Some families make a vacation of the trip, which is sometimes chal-lenging for those traveling with an autistic child, Pike said.

“When you have kids with autism it is kind of difficult, so that is what we are here for: to make that day have no stares, no problems and everybody is in the same boat,” he said.

Seeing the look on their faces after each child’s surf session and the emotional reaction on the

beach from the families is what keeps the Surfers Healing camps going, Pike added.

“It is really emotional for every-body so to put it into words is so tough, but you can visibly see something just happens,” Pike said. “Everybody I know that surfs or plays in the ocean knows it makes them feel good but our kids deal with major sensory issues so imagine what good they get out of being in the ocean and riding a wave with a professional surfer.”

W hat if the days of the historic Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach trol-ley line were not the past but the future? What if a

passenger could board a light rail car at the foot of Market Street and be whisked to the beach in a fraction of the time it takes for a vehicle to travel? Is this system of transportation a real possibility for Wilmington in the near future? Probably not, but when looking at a rendering of a modern rail car stopping by the historic trolley station near the intersection of Park Avenue and Audubon Boulevard, one cannot help but wonder.

The rendering was part of the City of Wilmington’s future visions campaign during which six different alternative future visions for the city were created out of input from numerous public neighborhood meetings. The restored trol-ley was included in the future vision that focused on transportation-based development by creating better interconnectivity between different land uses like commercial, residential and parks.

While the idea of recreating the old trolley line is a good conversation piece, Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization associate transportation planner Suraiya Rashid said it is something Wilmington is not ready for.

“I think it is something that people throw out a lot. … We own most of the right of way along

Park Avenue, but a lot of that has been used for drainage and we actually have one of our main bike paths through town there,” Rashid said. “It would be very, very expensive and we would really have to show the densities to support it.”

The nearest city with a light rail system within its metropolitan center is Charlotte, a city with a population more than seven times Wilmington’s.

However, like the River to Sea Bike Trail that now connects downtown to the beach along the historic trolley line, Rashid said one of the key factors in increasing connectivity in the region moving forward will be bike and pedestrian path-ways that also support the public WAVE Transit bus system.

“From my perspective, one of the most important things we need to do to get to that transportation-oriented development is to have the pedestrian network at a state to entice people to be comfort-able just riding the bus,” she said. “WAVE Transit is doing an excellent job with their mission and ridership is growing every year. ... The best thing we can do to support them is improve the pedes-trian network.”

While she agreed establishing a light rail sys-tem within the city would be a long way off, City of Wilmington senior planner Christine Hughes believed the region has other ways to improve interconnectivity where citizens live, work and play.

in the future

“I think we have a real opportunity with some of our corridors to improve the connection between transportation and land use like on College Road and Market Street,” Hughes said. “Just as an example, if we had a rapid bus on Market Street and created population centers along Market Street where the bus could stop three or four times instead of 10 to 12 times, I think that is a great opportunity and I think something like that is totally feasible.”

Like many other cities, Hughes said the expansion of Wilmington post World War II was solely focused on automobile transportation and the suburban lifestyle. Now, with more Millennials and Baby Boomers calling for better interconnectivity and easily accessible amenities, Hughes said the city could be witnessing the start of another lifestyle shift.

“That preference for a suburban lifestyle took a long time to come to fruition so the shift away from that is going to take a long time also, and we are just seeing the beginning of it,” she said.

Regardless of when it happens, Hughes said tying transportation and land use policies together can have numerous benefits like better public health, freedom of mobility and more attractive population centers with higher property values.

“In other communities where this shift has been more forward and more progressive, you see property values rise around transit stops, which can be a little of a double-edged sword because you don’t want to gentrify areas and push out folks that need more affordable housing options,” Hughes said. “In other areas where this is already happening, the real estate and development communities understand the values of these things.”

For city and regional planners measuring the public’s support of more interconnectivity via public transportation, and bike and pedestrian path-ways while tying it to the region’s densification is going to be a primary issue moving into the future, Hughes said.

“If we made appropriate increases to density, we could be less reliant on single occupancy vehicles, which would help our community immensely with traffic congestion, air quality and even with aesthetics in our built envi-ronment,” she said. “Wilmington is built out so right now everything is in someone’s backyard and we are going to have to manage that change.”email cole@ luminanews.com

Retirement planning: are you taking advantage of all opportunities?Provided by RBC Wealth Management and Dave Dupont

What if you ran out of money at the age of 75? What good is an increase in life expectancy if the quality of that life suffers?

We’re easily blinded by an instant-gratification society where advertisers paint tantalizing pictures of a leisurely retirement including days on the golf course and vacations in exotic loca-tions. But, this could be decades away for many people. The bad news is that you have to wait for it. The good news is that you still have the advantage of time to help make those retirement dreams a reality.

IRAs — An Individual Retirement Account, or IRA, comes with tax advantages to mitigate the financial impact either upfront or in the future at the time of withdrawal. For 2014, a maximum contribution of $5,500 is allowed, $6,500 if you’re age 50 or older.

Company 401(k) and matching — Nearly half of all employ-ees in the private sector have access to a retirement benefit plan, most likely a 401(k). These programs allow flexibility in how you save and how you pay taxes, either on a deferred or prepaid basis. Additionally, many companies offer a matching compo-nent — meaning for every dollar you invest they will match all or a portion of that dollar. But, in order to get the match you need to save the required minimum. Failing to do that, you miss out on what could be a lucrative employee benefit.

Roth 401(k) — This new investment vehicle offered by some employers, similar to its Roth IRA kin, places money into an account with after-tax dollars allowing an individual to take it out tax-free after the age of 59 and one-half. However, unlike its Roth IRA counterpart, it is not subject to the $5,500 IRS yearly contribution limit.

Employee pension plan — Whether your company con-tributes to your plan or not, chances are you have the option to contribute to a fund that pays you back at retirement.

Your savings and investment strategies have both a direct and indirect effect on your retirement plan. Make the most of tax advantages and savings vehicles available for other major life expenses, such as college savings programs, life insurance, long-term care and disability insurance.

Consult a financial professional who can help you make deci-sions about your investments. The steps you take today will effect how comfortable you are in your golden years.

Two Wilmington derma-tology centers located within the Mayfaire community are expanding and adding services to fine-tune their business models.

Dermatology Associates in Mayfaire Community Center has added the aesthetician services of Nicole Bunch with two new aes-thetic dermatology suites within the center’s third-floor offices along Parker Farm Road.

With six physicians in the practice, Bunch said the move to include aesthetic dermatology procedures like chemical peels, facials and microdermabrasion was a natural progression for Dermatology Associates.

“They wanted to have a one-stop shop for the aesthetic procedures,” Bunch said. “It is a newer trend in recent years and it is now catching on. Patients coming in to do their skin can-cer checks might also want some Botox or a facial to enhance everything and the need was there.”

When Dermatology Associates acquired the offices it included space for the potential expansion, and Bunch said the center would now be able to handle any kind of medical or aesthetic dermatology procedure.

Wilmington Dermatology Center expands

A 4,000-square-foot expansion is also coming to Wilmington Dermatology Center, located just north of Mayfaire at Howe Creek Landing.

Slated to finish in September, Wilmington Dermatology Center business director Ed George said the addition would provide more space needed to accommodate a new physicians assistant, more space for future clinical trial stor-age and improvements to clinical amenities.

Wilmington Dermatology Center’s aesthetic dermatol-ogy patients will see newly configured space just for that department.

“We are changing some things up a little bit to give some of those patients a little bit more of a spa treatment where they can go in through a different entrance,” George said. “There are some dermatology centers that are very cosmetic focused and there are some that just do medical dermatology and we have evolved to do both and the struggle has been how to cater to both those groups in the same space.”

With the additional space, George said there would be more room for all of the different fac-ets of the center’s services.

Wilmington Dermatology Center will continue operations as normal during the remodeling process. email [email protected]

Top: Wilmington Dermatology Center at Howe Creek Landing will be expanding into 4,000 additional square feet of space within its current building to add more room for clinical trial data storage, patient care and a new Physicians Assistant.

chemical peels and microderm-abrasion, Bunch said more patients in the Baby Boomer age range have begun to seek those types of treatments because of a lack of awareness about sun-screen when they were younger.

Bunch said the goal of the grand opening ceremony for the new aesthetics department Wednesday, Aug. 13, was to invite the public to the new space and reinforce the benefits of

sunscreen during the last weeks of the summer season.

“Our message is to go out and

enjoy this beautiful beach town we live in, but just be safe about it,” she said.

Sherman’s Lagoon By Jim Toomey

There’s a lagoon called Kapupu near the island of Kapupu in the sunny North Pacific just west of the Elabaob Islands in the Palauan archipelago of Micronesia. Sherman the Shark, his wife, Megan, and a host of other ocean occupants call it home. Occasionally, the hairless beach apes with their so-called civilized human ways try to encroach on the Lagoonies’ tropical paradise. So, there’s bound to be high jinks in this coral-reef heaven...

Prison MiracleWeek five, in a multi-part series

As I yielded myself more and more to the power of the Holy Spirit, opportunity began to present itself for ministry. Having been a pro-fessional musician, I was delighted to join some other ex musicians who now wanted to use their talents for the Lord. I had only known the two guys that made up our praise band for a few short months when an opening came for us to minister in a minimum security men’s prison, just south of Atlanta.

That evening, most of the prisoners that came out for the service were blessed by our music and short testimonies. As we finished the last song, the leader of our group gave an altar call, hoping that someone would want to give his or her life to Christ.

Following a long pause with no response, I nervously asked if there were any sick among them who would want to come forward for healing prayer. I had never prayed for the sick and had no clue why I even asked the question. In my mind, I believe I was hoping for a runny nose or small headache that would line up with my puny faith. But up came a tall white guy with a distinctive limp, obviously from a severe leg injury. The leg was bowed significantly outward and pointing at a right angle away from the other foot. The leg was so short, and the foot so crooked that his whole body rocked from side to side as he walked to the front. Once he approached the front, my

fellow band members quickly bowed their heads, offering no support. Despite the lack of encouragement from anyone else, something was

happening on the inside of me. “The gift of faith” (I Corinthians 12: 9), which I knew nothing about at the time, rose up on the inside of me, causing me to have no doubt that this man would be healed. Getting down on my knees, I laid my hands on his crooked leg and com-manded it to be normal. Then I began to press the two legs together as if I could fix it myself — to my surprise the bowed leg moved inward toward the other. When I opened my eyes, both legs were perfectly straight.

I had no time to respond before the inmate took off running around the dining hall. As he ran around the building shouting for joy, most of the other men began to celebrate with him. Noticing that his foot was still turned outward, I stopped him after two laps. I knew, just as sure as his leg had been healed, his foot would also be straightened.

Without even bending down, I took my foot and pushed his foot into a normal forward position. As I pushed against his foot, I thanked the Lord in Jesus’ name for completing this miracle. He and I both watched in amazement as his foot not only straightened, but stayed in perfect alignment with the other.

I fell to my knees thanking God, as the healed man stood and wept. After things finally began to settle down, we asked again if anyone wanted to know the Lord personally as their Savoir. This time, a large number of men raised their hands and came forward for salvation.

GIVE THANKS DAILyLuke 17:18 “There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.”

Relatively few people who receive the goodness of the Lord return to give Him thanks for what He has done. That does not keep the Lord from doing what is right for us. He healed all ten of these lep-ers according to their request - not just the one who was thankful. However, there was only one out of the ten that was made “whole.”

The Lord desires that we prosper in spirit, soul, and body. He wants us to be whole - not just healed. Part of the reason God meets our physical needs is to prove to us His willingness and ability to meet our emotional and spiritual needs. The Lord is concerned about our temporal needs (Mt. 6:30), but He is even more concerned about our eternal needs. All of these lepers needed physical healing and the Lord was moved with compassion and met their need.

He was also desiring to meet their spiritual needs, but only one out of the ten came back for that.

Being unthankful is always a sign that self is exalting itself above God. A selfless person can be content with very little. A self-centered person cannot be satisfied. Thankfulness is a sign of humility and cul-tivating a life of thankfulness will help keep “self” in its proper place.

Thankfulness to the Lord for what He is and what He has done is a very important part of the Christian life. One of the many benefits of thanksgiving and praise is that they keep us from being “self” oriented.

Giving thanks is a totally unselfish action and is a key to relation-ship with the Father that makes us “whole” and not just “healed.”

t h e b a c K p o r c hfromWrightsville Beach Museum board members’ favorite recipes

In the shade of a sloping roof, beneath exposed beams,

centered on the painted gray floorboards of the Wrightsville

Beach Museum of History’s porch, a vintage dining table

languishes in the late afternoon breeze, begging for diners.

Inspired by executive director Madeline Flagler, who coaxed

board members into preparing a light summer supper from

recipes old and new, the table is set with artifacts from

the museum’s collection with garden flowers selected and

arranged by Sandy May.
