A former Wrightsville Beach Police officer was indicted on charges of embezzlement by a New Hanover County grand jury Friday, Aug. 1. Lieutenant Hovie Pope Jr. was served an order for arrest by a grand jury on a true bill of indictment for embezzlement.

Pope turned himself in at the New Hanover County Courthouse earlier that week on charges of embezzling $31,680 and was given an unsecured

bond of $10,000. The funds were embezzled from the North Carolina Internal Affairs Investigators Association dur-ing the time Pope was an active member of the organization.

Pope served as the association’s president from 2002-03, and its treasurer. The North Carolina Internal Affairs Investigators Association still lists Pope as one of its honorary members.

Due to a conflict of interest with the New Hanover County District Attorney’s office, Pope’s case will be prosecuted

Loose ends hang in balanceBy Miriah HamrickStaff Writer

State lawmakers filed adjourn-ment resolutions and left Raleigh after passing and sending a $21 billion budget to Gov. Pat McCrory for approval Aug. 2.

The 2014-15 state spending plan is the product of weeks of negotiations on issues like teacher raises, film incentives and Medicaid reform. While the budget delivered on a promise to boost teacher salaries, other legislative priorities were left in limbo.

Both chambers agreed to reconvene in August and November. First, legislators must reconcile disparate adjournment resolutions.

The Senate resolution limits discussion for a session recon-vening Aug. 14 to overriding vetoes and appointments to pub-lic offic.

Goolsby resigns,

Redenbaugh responds

Republicans meet to fill unexpired term

By Marimar McNaughtonStaff Writer

Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover, resigned from the North Carolina General Assembly in an Aug. 4 letter to N.C. Gov. Pat McCrory.

Goolsby’s spokesperson Dee Stewart said it is hoped with Goolsby’s early resignation that the governor will appoint Michael Lee to Goolsby’s unex-pired term, giving Lee a leg up in the upcoming election. Sam Ibrahim, New Hanover County GOP chairman, said during an Aug. 6 phone interview, an executive committee of almost 100 members will gather Aug. 12 at 6 p.m. to name Goolsby’s successor. Only members from District 9 can participate. The discussion is closed to the public. Lee is the Republican candidate running opposite Democrat Elizabeth Redenbaugh for Goolsby’s seat.

The Lumina Commons Shopping Center between Wrightsville Avenue and Eastwood Road has sold for $13.87 mil-lion in a transaction that closed Monday, Aug. 4.

The Carolina Beach Inlet Association unveiled the results of an economic analysis of the inlet during an Aug. 5 presenta-tion, which members plan to use as a tool to demonstrate the value of local contributions needed to keep the inlet dredged and navigable.

The analysis concluded the inlet generates $68 million in impact to the county economy. Comparing the impact of the inlet at a fully maintained depth and the shallower but navigable depth to which it is currently maintained, the analysis suggested the countywide impact of the inlet would grow by $8 million if it were dredged and maintained at 8 feet deep.

Hurricane Bertha passed east off the North Carolina coast and west of Bermuda as it accelerated to the northeast, posing no threat to the United States other than high surf and rip currents. One man drowned in an apparent rip current at Mickler Landing, south of Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., Aug. 5. The storm brought rain to Bermuda. The second hurricane of the 2014 season, Bertha’s life was cut short from wind shear. Downgraded to a tropical storm, it could impact the United Kingdom by Sunday.

After approval by Wilmington City Council, Wilmington City Clerk Penny Spicer-Sidbury, Wilmington City Attorney Bill Wolack and Wilmington City Manager Sterling Cheatham will receive cost of living and merit-based raises effective retroac-tively July 1, 2014.

Near the end of city council’s nearly five-hour meeting Aug. 5, Councilman Dr. Earl Sheridan said council’s evaluations commit-tee determined those three employees should receive 1.5 percent Cost of Living Allowance raises with a 1 percent merit-based raise for Cheatham and Spicer-Sidbury, and a 2 percent merit-based raise for Wolack.

The evaluations committee includes Sheridan, Councilman Kevin O’Grady and Mayor Pro Tem Margaret Haynes.

With the raises, Spicer-Sidbury’s salary will increase from $74,984 to $76,889, Wolack’s will increase from $145,678 to $150,845 and Cheatham’s will increase from $181,636 to $183,452. The two-step increases for each employee were unanimously approved by city council.

Wilmington City Council also unanimously approved addi-tional funding for the city’s $1.2 million renovation to the Wilmington Municipal Golf Course.

Amy Beatty, Wilmington Parks and Downtown Services Superintendent, said the additional $162,100 would be used to purchase 6.8 acres of 419 Tifway Bermuda sod. That extra sod was originally included in the golf course renovation plan but was cut to reduce costs. Instead, golf course renovation contrac-tor Duininck, Inc. planned to hand plant individual Tifway 419 Bermuda grass sprigs in the areas around the renovated fairway bunkers but the recent deluge of rainfall has caused those sprigs to wash away.

Even if weather permitted, Beatty said sprigging those areas now would not allow the grass to fill in enough before the pro-jected reopening of the course in early October.

The funds were assigned from remaining unassigned funds in the city’s parks bond. After assigning the $162,100, the remain-ing unassigned parks bond fund totals $268,673.

The future traffic pattern of Market Street was also discussed with the approval of a study reexamining traffic along Market Street from Third Street to Covil Avenue, and 16th and 17th streets between Market and Wooster streets.

The study was originally completed in 2007 but the city has requested the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization reexamine the area to determine the feasibility of implementing a road diet on Market Street. The road diet could include reducing that area of Market Street to a two-lane road divided by a median.

When the study was originally completed, it was recommended a road diet delay until the completion of the Independence Boulevard extension to Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. However, the N.C. Department of Transportation has not included that project on its 10-year prioritization list, meaning the project would remain unfunded for at least that period of time.

The study cost the city $15,000, with a $15,000 match com-ing from the Wilmington Metropolitan Planning Organization. email cole@luminanews.com

da rules no deputies at fault in Hewett death

Unique police canine helps solve crime cases

By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

The findings of an SBI inves-tigation into the death of former Brunswick County Sheriff Ron Hewett, while in custody at the New Hanover County Detention Facility, were finally revealed by NHC District Attorney Ben David during a press conference Friday, Aug. 1.

After reviewing video footage and interviewing the deputies on duty the evening of July 12, David announced no deputies would be charged in relation to Hewett’s death.

David’s report states shortly after being booked into the detention facility July 10, Hewett refused meals and a visit from mental health professionals after he was observed displaying odd behavior in his cell.

After two other visits from his mother and a female friend, a third visit was scheduled for Saturday, July 12, at 2 p.m. Hewett indicated he was ready for his visit and released from his cell into a common area but was dressed only in his boxer briefs.

Deputies asked Hewett to return to his cell to put clothes on but he refused.

A deputy then entered the tier to get Hewett to return to his cell but Hewett became aggressive, assumed a fighting stance and attempted to strike the deputy. The deputy began giving warn-ings to Hewett while holding out his Taser but Hewett continued to attempt to strike the deputy. The deputy fired the Taser at Hewett’s chest. Hewett rolled on the floor in an attempt to remove the probes and continued to attempt to strike the deputy even after the deputy attempted to stun him.

Officers arrived to provide assistance and Hewett also tried to strike a second deputy, who struck Hewett with a closed fist to defend himself, David’s report states. The first deputy reloaded his Taser and hit Hewett with probes in his chest and right hand, which effectively brought Hewett down. Officers were able to subdue him without excessive force, the report states.

The entire incident was cap-tured on fixed cameras in the

“Jorga, kommen!” Randy Searls called.

The 17-month-old Dutch shep-herd pranced over, carrying a rubber ball in her mouth. She

dropped the toy at Searls’ feet, panting and wagging her tail expectantly.

In moments like these, Jorga could be mistaken for a typical family pet. One would never guess this playful young dog recently located human skeletal remains

in Clarendon, S.C., less than five minutes after being released in the search zone.

The ability to shift between work and play is one of Jorga’s unique qualities. When she is not fetching toys, she is training for her job as a dual purposed Search and Rescue K-9 with I & I International.

She is able to locate a single drop of blood on a hidden gauze pad and smell teeth buried 6 feet underground.

“At the end of a track or a find she’ll lick you, play with you, but she will get very aggressive when we clear buildings or if she’s told to attack,” said Searls, her handler.

Searls demonstrated Jorga’s talents Monday, Aug. 4 at Empie Park. He tucked a human tooth into the trunk of a tree in the mid-dle of the park before releasing Jorga from her crate and giving her one command. With her nose to the ground, Jorga quickly made her way through the park. Less than 30 seconds later, she focused her attention on the tree, her ears perked and her tail straight.

“Look, she’s going into odor,” Searls said, interpreting the sub-tle signals given by his dog. “And now she’s indicating that she’s found the source.”

He explained he taught Jorga a list of 27 specific commands and based on the command he gave, she would know whether she was looking for decomposed remains, tracking a living person, or searching for evidence. To avoid confusion in tense situations, she only responds to commands given in German.

Jorga and Searls practice every day to further refine their seamless partnership. Such a connection between officer and canine is rare, although Jorga and Searls’ story was unusual from the beginning.

When Searls was originally looking for a Search and Rescue K-9, he worked with four young dogs. At the end of three months, he was so impressed by Jorga, he began training her exclusively, teaching her minimal skills until she was nine months old. At that time, she was accepted into Bullocks K9 Academy in Greenville, N.C.

While many handlers simply left their dogs to complete a four- to six-week training course, Searls and Jorga enrolled together in a six-month emersion course.

“I stayed with my dog while she learned everything and I learned everything with her,” Searls said. “Nobody has ever been on the other end of the leash except for me.”

Through this intense train-ing period, a powerful trust was

facility, and with a handheld camera that was used by deputies while subduing Hewett and when they brought him back to his cell.

After the deputies took Hewett back to his cell and laid him face down on his sleeping mat, he can be heard on the video saying,

“You know it takes real talent to kill a man with a Taser.” While kicking his legs out he also yelled to other inmates, “I didn’t go down like a coward, boys.”

Once in the cell a nurse was called in to assess Hewett, but could not complete her work

because of his aggression. It was decided he should be placed on suicide watch. At that time, David’s report states Hewett showed no signs of trouble breathing.

On the second check of Hewett’s cell, ordered every five minutes,

the deputy became concerned when Hewett was not moving. When deputies entered the cell his face looked blue and it was deter-mined lifesaving measures were needed. CPR efforts were started by deputies and the nurse, and continued by EMS and NHC Fire for 30 minutes after they arrived.

In the preliminary autopsy report, Dr. William Oliver, the medical examiner for the case, stated the cause of death was dilated cardiomyopathy, which is sometimes seen in people who drink alcohol to a great extent. The other likely contributing factor to Hewett’s death was the stress on his heart from the inci-dent and being subdued.

After speaking with Hewett’s family, David said he did not wish to release the video footage as part of the criminal evidence.

However, in accordance with a court order from Senior Resident Superior Court Judge W. Allen Cobb Jr., Sheriff Ed McMahon released the surveillance videos during a Friday, Aug 1 press con-ference. For video footage, visit www.luminanews.comemail cole@luminanews.com

formed, a trust that becomes vital in the dangerous situations Searls and Jorga encounter on their missions.

“Her training has been very different in all of those aspects,” Searls said. “She would go to the ends of the earth with me. We’re never apart.”

Jorga and Searls combine their respective skills to make a for-midable team. While Jorga has

an exceptional sense of smell and is capable of clearing areas in minutes that it would take a group of men days to clear, she also depends on Searls in some situations.

“She can do things I can’t, but I can see things she can’t,” Searls said. “They don’t see well at all. We’re an absolute team.”

When Jorga isn’t solving miss-ing-person cases and uncovering

evidence, she is simply the Searls’ family dog. Searls said when they are at home, Jorga is more attached to his wife.

“She’s my dog until my wife comes home,” Searls said. “[Jorga] will go to disasters, fire, repelling out of helicopters with me but when my wife comes home, she checks out with daddy and goes right to mama.” Email emmy@luminanews.com

BEACH BLOTTER

Peeling out on causeway

A nearby Wrightsville Beach Police officer began pursuing a vehicle driven by 27-year-old Rodney W. Quibodeax around 2:20 a.m. Monday, July 28, after the vehicle’s tires squealed when Quibodeax turned from Waynick Boulevard onto Causeway Drive at a high rate of speed.

Quibodeax did not pull over immediately after the officer turned his lights on but finally stopped on Bob Sawyer Drive near Wrightsville Beach Park.

When the officer went to remove Quibodeax from the car he refused at first and eventually failed the field sobriety test. Quibodeax also resisted arrest at the Wrightsville Beach Police Department and was charged with driving while impaired and resist, delay, obstruct.

lost cash at shell island

Three individuals staying in the same room on the second floor of the Shell Island Resort reported cash missing from their room around 9 a.m. Monday, July 28. The individuals went to the beach and came back to find around $650 in cash missing from a money clip and two wallets.

There are no suspects in the case.

Public bathhouse redecorating

It was reported Thursday, July 31, around 7:30 p.m., that someone spray painted the inside of the bathhouse at the public parking lot on South Lumina Avenue near the Oceanic Restaurant. Total reported damage was estimated $50.

Huffing by the boat ramp

Wrightsville Beach Police officers began looking for the automobile driven by 54-year-old Wilmington resident Warren Baughman around 11:52 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 2, after a report of someone driving while impaired on North Lumina Avenue.

While officers did not find the reported vehicle on North Lumina Avenue, they did find it later parked near the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Public Boat Ramp. When the respond-ing officer began approaching the vehicle he saw Baughman huffing chemicals out of a spray duster aerosol can. The officer reported Baughman’s eyes gave away that he was impaired and he was also unresponsive to the officer at first.

Baughman was charged with driving while impaired, inhaling toxic fumes and possession of toxic substances for inhalation.

da rules no deputies at fault in Hewett death

New, locally designed struc-tures will join barges, boxcars and thousands of tires planted on the ocean floor to supplement nearby artificial reefs by the end of 2014.

Designed by Wilmington-based Atlantic Coast Industrial and dubbed Atlantic Pods, the hol-low concrete cubes are roughly 4 feet by 4 feet.

Rita Merritt, Onslow Bay Artificial Reef Association (OBARA) executive director, said the cubes could eventually be deployed for use in other reefs but four local sites will be the first to claim them.

“One of the big deals that we see in this is the potential for a whole new type of habitat that’s being developed. ... It’s experi-mental right now but it’s passed everything, as far as we know,

through the various agencies it has to go through,” Merritt said during an Aug. 5 interview.

Reinforced concrete pipes will also be used for the project. The added structures provide habitat for marine life on barren stretches of sea bottom.

While divers and fishermen might be the first to notice a reef enhancement, Merritt said the boost will have far-reaching effects, from corals and plants that filter water to stabilization of the ocean floor.

“We’re taking desert and mak-ing it an oasis. That’s the way we look at doing an artificial reef,” Merritt said.

A $637,500 N.C. Coastal Recreational Fishing License grant awarded to OBARA helped to fund fresh material for the Billy Murrell Reef off of Topsail Island, the Meares Harris Reef off of Masonboro Inlet and the Phillip Wolfe Reef Complex off of Carolina Beach Inlet.

Private funding from the Bruce Barclay Cameron Foundation supported enhancement of the Bruce Barclay Cameron Reef, also known as the Five-Mile Boxcar Reef, off Masonboro Inlet, but the grant money can-not be used on the Cameron reef because it sits in federal waters.

The cubes and pipe will be deployed once all permits are secured by the N.C. Division of Marine Fisheries Artificial Reef

Committee considers adding new activities to parkBy Emmy ErranteStaff Writer

“New business — pickleball,” Greg Files, Wrightsville Beach Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee chair, announced at the beginning of the group’s monthly meeting Monday, Aug. 4.

The committee hopes to receive a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund grant, which could be used to bring pickleball and several other popular sports to Wrightsville Beach Park.

The committee agreed pick-leball courts would be a natural addition to the park because they could be incorporated into the existing tennis courts. Parks and

recreation program supervisor Katie Ryan suggested the funds could also go toward popular activities such as gaga ball and Supernova, which would appeal to children and teens.

Ryan described gaga ball as a form of dodgeball played in a small octagonal arena. She showed the committee a photo of Supernova, a colorful spin-ning platform.

“It looks like something some-one who surfed or skateboarded could use as an agility exercise,” Ryan said.

The committee also discussed introducing a token system of payment for two of its fitness classes, low-impact aerobics and

tone and stretch.“You buy so many tokens, and

every time you go a class, you put in a token,” committee member Charlotte Murchison explained.

“The nice thing about the token system is we could really keep track of how many times every-body came to class,” Ryan added.

The committee also consid-ered letting people pay one flat monthly rate to attend unlimited fitness classes, an option that would allow those who attended class frequently to save money. Several members of the commit-tee preferred this method to the token system because of the time it would take the fitness instructor to count tokens before each class.

Ultimately, a decision was not reached. The committee decided to consult the fitness instructors and aim to enact a new policy in January 2015.

The committee also addressed the topic of tobacco prevention in Wrightsville Beach parks. The members voted unanimously to not pursue a smoking ban in the park, because there had only ever been one minor complaint about the issue.

“If it becomes an issue at a later date, we can address it again, but at the moment it’s not a prob-lem,” Files said. email emmy@luminanews.com

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

Editorial/Opinion

When someone holds public office the rest of us have the right to expect high moral standards to rule.

I didn’t know former Brunswick County Sheriff Ron Hewett, but his reputation preceded him and as such his ignominious death coupled by his remark-able fall from grace has touched me deeply.

In the county from which Hewett came, he is either held in high regard or vilified. Despite his criminal convictions, for many he is still hailed a hero, while others view him as just another cop gone bad.

I puzzle over where in his career and personal life Hewett must have stepped from the high road, or if he was even on it.

Compounding this is the case of a former law enforce-ment officer who once anchored the Wrightsville police department. Lt. Hovie Pope was a police officer’s police officer. Pope made a name for himself by being thorough and tough on crim-inals. With him, everything was black and white. I did believe I knew him.

So during the same week that Hewett died so miser-ably in the county lock up, for Pope to be indicted by a New Hanover County grand jury for convert-ing funds to his own use from the internal affairs association that he once led and was treasurer for was a double whammy blow.

Maybe this is all a case of power corrupts, absolutely.

Granted, we are all innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, but I admit, my faith in those who protect and serve has been rattled.

However, over this same period of time, the esteem for which I hold one of our elected offi-cials has risen. Serving in the state legislature is no picnic. First with the Dems and now with the GOP, I have observed the stress and fatigue in the faces of the representatives I know as they return home to lick wounds and recuperate before heading back to the bastion of state power for more.

This legislative session, an out-of-favor Dem, Rep. Susi Hamilton, continued to champion a cause that put her face to face with a political enemy. Still, she has held the line, refusing to back down on her stance supporting incentives for the film industry in the state and home county. She gets points for that.

But Republican Ted Davis Jr. as a freshman took up the cause as well and has battled impressively to save jobs for Wilmington.

In favor of or against incentives, one must admire the tenacity of Davis’ foray into this film incentives

battle that his superiors, except perhaps for our governor, do not want to continue. Incentives are bribes, yes. But, they work, and as long as neighboring states offer them, once begun, North Carolina would be foolish to just kill film incentives because men meeting in a smoky room somewhere deep in the heart of things don’t value them. It is hard to discern who is behind the curtain pulling the strings on this one; some say Art Pope (who just resigned) and the Koch brothers, but regard-less, this much is clear: whoever it is, is powerful and appears they’d rather give those incentives to their friends in industry.

Clean jobs are clean jobs. The movie indus-try in this state not only provides film jobs that

don’t harm the environ-ment or citizens, but puts dollars in the pocketbooks of those who sling the hash and pump the gas, sell trin-kets, as well as rent out beds for heads. These auxiliary revenues spent in the state should not be overlooked as one tallies the jobs against outlay in incentives.

Facetious or not, I liken it to the caveat of putting out a hummingbird feeder: don’t

lure these beautiful creatures with red-colored nectar unless you plan to continue putting out nectar year after year. Stop filling the hum-mingbird feeder and the birds now trained to the handout can die.

It is a sure bet: cut incentives and the film industry in Wilmington is dead.

But back to Ted. While others yack on about attracting new jobs,

Davis has set about saving jobs we already have. Doggedly so.

Unlike another former member of the local del-egation who laid false claim this week to being the jobs guy, Ted did not just beat the drum of lip service, he has put forth a valiant effort for film and historic incentives, and shallow inlet dredg-ing. Without the Carolina Beach inlet remaining, navigable jobs will disappear.

Just this week $68 million was attributed to auxiliary spending in the county economy as a result of the inlet in its current condition. Dredge it further amd we can add another $8 million to that figure. Not overlooked, Davis also put out a big effort in the legislative long session to forestall legislation that would have killed jobs in the newspaper industry.

Win or lose, he has distinguished himself in these endeavors.

Bravo, Mr. Davis!

by Mitchell Garrell, a pros-ecutor with the North Carolina Conference of District Attorney’s in Raleigh, said NCCDA white collar crime resource prosecutor Tammy Smith Friday, Aug. 1.

The NCCDA is not part of the N.C. Department of Justice or the state Attorney General’s office.

Although his case is not being prosecuted by the New Hanover County District Attorney’s office, Pope will be tried in New Hanover County and his first

court date is set for Aug. 11.Pope was most recently a spe-

cial deputy with the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Department as well as an employee of Kellum Law Firm.

Pope joined the Kellum Law Firm Sept. 10, 2013. He held a distinguished career of more than 40 years with the Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach police departments, as well as the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, where he was employed for nearly 11 years from December 2000 to September 2012. Pope was a member of the Wrightsville Beach

Police Department for 23 years and retired Aug. 31, 2004.

He is a graduate of New Hanover High School, the University of North Carolina Wilmington and Cape Fear Community College, where he pursued additional studies in the Criminal Justice field earning the Advanced Law Enforcement Certificate in 1981.

Pope served in the U.S. Navy including a tour of Vietnam and has been the recipient of numerous recognitions. He was awarded the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, the state’s highest

civilian honor, by Gov. Mike Easley in 2008. In addition he received the Life Saving Award in 2003 and was recognized as the Officer of the Year by Grace Baptist Church.

Pope has also been is a gen-eral instructor in the Basic Law Enforcement Training Program, adjunct instructor for the North Carolina Justice Academy and in-service instructor for law enforcement agencies.Pat Bradford contributed to this story.email cole@luminanews.com

coal ash cleanup and Medicaid reform could be addressed during a post-election Nov. 17 return to Raleigh.

The House, on the other hand, wants to talk about regulatory reform changes and economic incentives, including last-min-ute attempts on the House floor to include film incentives and historic preservation tax credits, during the August meeting.

A $10 million grant program to replace the 25 percent film incen-tive was included in the budget. Johnny Griffin, Wilmington Regional Film Commission director, said the state would see the industry shrivel under the program. He said $10 million can sustain about $40 million of production compared to the $265 million already underway in the state this year.

Griffin said until the legislature formally adjourns, he is hopeful that an amendment by Rep. Ted Davis Jr., R-New Hanover, will permit a pared-down incentive.

“As long as they are still there, we’re still in the fight,” he said during an Aug. 4 phone interview.

In the meantime, business is already suffering in Wilmington. Griffin said he used to receive between 15 and 18 production inquires per month, but inquires have dwindled to five per month.

George Edwards, Historic Wilmington Foundation execu-tive director, said the lack of preservation credits in the com-promise budget, revealed July 30, was a surprise. Unlike the film incentives, preservation cred-its were not a high-profile issue during budget negotiations, and both the House and McCrory included the credits in original budget proposals.

“We thought that we were going to see the tax credits sur-vive, although they would have survived at a different level,” Edwards said during an Aug. 4 phone interview.

The state credits sunset Dec. 31, 2014, leaving only

federal credits available for reha-bilitation of income-producing, or commercial property.

Legislative leaders offered to consider a grant program to replace the credits during the 2015 session. Edwards said the preservation community embraces a replacement program.

“It’s a setback and we’ll deal with it. We’ll lobby and edu-cate between now and whenever the legislature comes back, and maybe some kind of grant pro-gram can be created that works effectively,” Edwards said.

Although a coal ash manage-ment bill was the first bill to be filed during the 2014 short ses-sion, lawmakers were unable to agree on bills outlining steps to clean up more than 30 coal ash ponds at 14 Duke Energy sites across North Carolina.

McCrory issued Executive Order 62 Aug. 1, tasking the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) to begin groundwater assess-ments of all coal ash ponds at Duke facilities and take initial steps to dewater ponds at four high-priority sites, including Wilmington’s Sutton plant.

The executive order also calls for resources to cover increased workload for DENR staff. No resources were allocated in the state budget for coal ash regulators.

While ponds at four sites will be on track for cleanup without a state mandate, coal ash wastewa-ter in ponds at 10 other facilities could be left behind. The waste-water is laced with heavy metals like arsenic, selenium and chro-mium that can permeate through earthen walls of the ponds.

Senate Bill 729, considered but not passed during the short session, called for cleanup of all 33 ponds in the state by 2029, a timeline Duke officials deemed aggressive and even unattainable at some sites.

Duke officials estimated it could cost $10 billion to dewa-ter all the state’s ponds. email miriah@luminanews.com

president, said the inlet has not been kept at optimal navigabil-ity for 15 years, and facing no steady funding stream in recent years, the inlet has been minimally maintained.

“Over the past three years, Carolina Beach Inlet has been in an emergency dredging situation. I like to coin the phrase that it’s been maintained just dangerous enough to where they haven’t taken the buoys out of the inlet,” Schoonmaker said.

Dr. Chris Dumas, economics professor at University of North Carolina Wilmington, presented the analysis. Dumas worked with Dr. John Whitehead, economics professor at Appalachian State University, to update an earlier study by interpreting existing data using input-output analysis to track money as it moved through the local economy.

Dumas estimated potential losses to the county economy at $18 mil-lion if the inlet were not dredged and allowed to shoal to a depth of 4 feet or less.

Dumas said the results support the claim that inlets are infra-structure, allowing access to public resources like bridges and highways.

Schoonmaker said if a steady source of funding were available, it would be cheaper to sustain the full depth at a lower cost. He hoped the conclusions of the updated study

would convince local officials, particularly at the county level, to realize the return of money invested in the inlet.

Elected representatives from local and state governments attended, including Rep. Ted Davis Jr., R-New Hanover; New Hanover County Commissioners Jonathan Barfield Jr. and Thomas Wolfe plus Vice-Chair Beth Dawson; and Wrightsville Beach Mayor Bill Blair and Mayor Pro Tem Darryl Mills.

David Rouzer, former state Senator and candidate for U.S. House of Representatives, was also in attendance. Barfield and Rouzer will vie for the 7th Congressional District seat in the November election.

Davis explained how legislation he shepherded through the General Assembly’s 2014 short session will secure some funds needed to keep the inlet dredged.

A 2013 law allowed local com-munities to tap into state funds if a dollar-for-dollar match is pro-vided. Realizing communities need help to assemble the local match, Davis pushed through a bill allow-ing communities to tap a portion of unused room occupancy tax (ROT) collected in unincorporated areas of the county for shallow-draft inlet dredging.

The law sets aside more than $1 million currently sitting in the fund and one-third of annual proceeds for tourism-related activi-ties, including inlet dredging. The

unincorporated ROT pulls in approximately $150,000 per year.

Carolina Beach Inlet is dredged quarterly to maintain navigabil-ity. The annual local match for the project is $400,000. For full depth maintenance, the annual local match for the project is $500,000.

While available funds secured by Davis will not fully fund the dol-lar-for-dollar match needed, New Hanover County Manager Chris Coudriet said the bill will help relieve claims staked on property taxes collected by the county, City of Wilmington and beach towns to fund dredging.

“We’re a lot better today because of this legislation than we were 60 days ago,” Coudriet said.email miriah@luminanews.com

Redenbaugh, who declared her candidacy for the District 9 seat in January, said Goolsby’s resig-nation was unexpected.

“I was completely shocked ... to hear that an elected offi-cial would not fulfill their term that they were elected to serve,” Redenbaugh said during an Aug. 5 phone interview.

The tactic has worked in the past. Former Rep. Danny McComas, R-New Hanover, also vacated his seat early, during his ninth term, to make way for former New Hanover County Commissioners Chairman Ted Davis Jr. who was elected to his first term in 2012.

But Redenbaugh said her campaign viewed Goolsby’s res-ignation as a cheap political stunt to seat her opponent, Lee.

“Our voters deserve so much bet-ter,” she said. “This is a game the Republicans have played before. It’s clearly a manipulation of the political process. This happened in 2004 when Patrick Ballantine stepped down for the seat and Woody White was appointed to it. He ran against Democrat Julia Boseman and was later defeated that November.”

Of the difference in the political climate 10 years ago, Redenbaugh said, “Our political process is

much more polarized. The GOP is clearly less popular. They have been treating our citizens of North Carolina without the dignity, value and respect that they deserve. They have slashed half a billion dollars from public schools that really put in jeopardy our public education system, which is the foundation of our state. I think people are waking up to that and realizing we need a real change.”

In addition, Redenbaugh said she felt the move to unseat Goolsby

and appoint Lee was motivated by fear on the part of the GOP.

“They, I think, saw the writing on the wall,” she continued. “This race is a statistical dead heat, how-ever I have the edge there and I think they saw that in their poll results as we have seen that in ours.”

The Redenbaugh campaign released its poll results Aug. 5. Conducted by Myers Research and Strategic Services, it shows Redenbaugh with a 47 percent

share of 400 voters polled to Lee’s 44 percent.

With the N.C. Senate meet-ing next week, it’s possible the Republican Party could feasibly nominate Lee for the District 9 seat followed by a swift appointment from Gov. McCrory.

“If [Lee] has an opportunity to get to Raleigh, then he certainly gets a shot at having his name in the news and being a part of that process,” Redenbaugh said. “I’m assuming that’s part of their

strategy.”Goolsby served two terms.

Earlier this year he announced he would not seek reelection to spend more time with his family in Wilmington. He timed his depar-ture with the adjournment of the General Assembly’s short session. Stewart confirmed Goolsby will step away from the political arena while remaining a member of the Governor’s Crime Commission.

“I pledged to be the Jobs Senator and I have been the Jobs Senator,”

Goolsby wrote in his resignation letter. “I’m proud of the conserva-tive fiscal reforms I have helped enact during my tenure. These policies have gotten our local economy moving again. Since the day I was sworn into office, New Hanover County’s unemployment rate has dropped dramatically, from 10.3 to 5.8 percent.”

Redenbaugh, who supports the film industry and North Carolina companies that she said deserve the first chance to bid on state con-tracts, said she did not know what Goolsby had specifically done to create jobs during his tenure.

“Any improvement in our econ-omy I don’t think you can link to Senator Goolsby,” Redenbaugh said. “What you can link to this GOP, or the GOP controlled leg-islature, is they’ve taken the motto on our state license plate, First in Flight, and given it new meaning. You have so many teachers, for example, that are leaving the state to find better paying jobs. You have so many people leaving our state for a better life elsewhere, and that includes the film industry, that are going to places like Georgia and Louisiana.”

Michael Lee’s spokesperson, Robert Andrews, said in an Aug. 5 email, “Michael is out of town right now with his family. He won’t be available until next week.”email marimar@luminanews.com

Coldwell Banker served as the property management agent while previous owner, Plaza East Associates, owned the property.

During a Wednesday, Aug. 6 phone interview, Silivanch said Coldwell Banker would no

longer serve as the property man-agement agent for the shopping center. Silivanch said he could not provide any other information about the sale at the time other than nothing about the shopping center is expected to change.

“The center is fine just the way it is,” Silivanch said. “The new owner is going to be managing and leasing the shopping center from now on.”

Opened under the original name Plaza East Shopping Center in 1974, it was renovated multiple times, including the name change to Lumina Commons Shopping Center. The total shopping cen-ter sits on 7.59 acres of land with around 85,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. Currently there are 11 businesses open in the shopping center.

Shell enthusiasts from across the country will gather at the Hilton Wilmington Riverside Aug. 9-15 for the annual Conchologists of America Convention, and every-one from the conch expert to the casual collector is welcome.

COA Convention co-chair Ed Shuller said he expects more than 200 attendees from throughout the United States to attend the week-long event, which will feature a variety of programs and activities aimed at conchologists from dif-ferent backgrounds.

“A conchologist can be anyone … just people who have an inter-est in shells, ranging all the way from the professionals to the casual beach walker who picks up a shell every now and then,” Shuller said during a phone interview.

To cater to multiple levels of interest, Shuller said the pre-sentations would range from educational, such as the scientific study of mollusk species, to the more casual aspects of conchol-ogy like shell collecting.

Because the conference is being held in North Carolina for the first time in its history, many programs will focus on the particular species of mollusk that live in and around that area.

“North Carolina is in a unique position in that it’s [located] where two of the major ocean rivers come together, the Gulf Stream from the south and the cold water current, referred to as the Boreal, from the north and they collide off of Cape Hatteras,” Shuller said.

He added that this collision of major ocean currents forms three distinct habitats off the coast of North Carolina: the cold-water environment near the northern coast, the moderate waters off the southern coast and the warm waters near the Gulf Stream — each of which produces its own species of mollusk.

In addition to its location on the coast of North Carolina, the Hilton Wilmington Riverside also pro-vides the conference with upwards of 10,000 square feet to host the many vendors who will display and sell their wares during the final two days of the event.

The vendors will be selling all manner of shell-related items, including jewelry and books. The shell market, which is the largest exhibit of its kind in the nation, will be set up in both ballrooms of the Hilton and will be free to the

public.Also free to the public is the live

auction Aug. 12, during which people will be able to bid on 120 rare and unusual shell-related items from around the world. All proceeds from the live auction go to the Conchologists of America grant and fellowship program.

Shuller said the conference serves awareness of conchology.

“The interesting thing about shell clubs and Conchologists of America, it’s a really well-kept secret,” Shuller said. “But there are a significant number of people who are interested in learning about it and are very dedicated in pursuing their hobbies.”

Mauli Ola provides surfing as medicineBy Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

Professional surfers and surf instructors with the Mauli Ola Foundation will take to the waves at Wrightsville Beach Sunday, Aug. 10, to provide surf therapy to chil-dren living with cystic fibrosis. The second annual Ben Bourgeois Surf Experience Day will build off of the success of the 2013 event when children from around the East Coast received surf instruction from pros like Bourgeois and Sunny Garcia.

“Last year was great. … I am sure we will have more this year because everyone had such a great time,” Bourgeois said. “We will just spend the day down on the beach getting them to ride waves and at the same time it is good for them to be in the water as a natural treatment because it helps clear their lungs.”

Cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease, primarily affects the lungs. The salinity levels present in the salty air and in ocean water around the beach is conducive to reducing congestion in the airways of those afflicted with the disease.

Although he believes surfing helps people suffering from a variety of diseases and handicaps, IndoJax Surf Charity founder Jack Viorel said it is easy to get behind a charity surf event that is proven to help.

“It is all about letting them breathe in the salty air to get salt water in their system and decongest them,” Viorel said. “Even though we all know these types of surf events are therapeutic, this is probably one of the only ones that is scientifically proven to make a difference.”

IndoJax will provide the surfing gear for the day and a few of their instructors will join the pros in the water that are a part of the Mauli Ola Foundation like Hawaiians Sunny Garcia and Kala Alexander.

In addition to the surf day, the Mauli Ola Foundation will host a silent auction fundraiser Saturday, Aug. 9, from 6-9 p.m. at King Neptune Restaurant. The 2013 fundraiser raised more than $10,000 for the foun-dation, which uses the funds to support its various programs providing therapy to those with genetic disorders.

While he hopes the fundraiser can raise more funds than last year’s, Bourgeois said he is most excited about sharing some stoke in the water.

“My favorite part about it is we just get to spend time with kids in the water and surf,” he said. “It is not just a fundraiser, which is great to raise money for the cause, but we actually get to be in the water helping these kids right there.”

ne early Wrightsville Beach experience stands out in Silvey Robinson’s mind, although as a child, her family traveled from Wilmington to the shore many times each week.

Preparing to leave after a day spent at Lumina Pavilion, she remembers seeing more than 600 lights dotting all the eaves and gables of the structure light up from her spot

on the trolley that connected the shore to the city. “When I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, we had been at the Lumina most of the day and it was

just at dark when we were sitting on the beach car and the lights came on. It was an awesome experi-ence I will never forget. You can’t call it fairyland. It was magic. It was just magic,” Robinson said.

Despite the magic of that moment, Robinson said she did not expect to one day live at the beach. She certainly did not expect to marry into the family who owned the legendary building for some of its 70-year reign. Yet it was there at age 16 that she met her husband, Cecil Robinson, and it was there the couple made their home and raised four daughters.

“It was the best place to raise children at that time,” Robinson said.Her niece Linda, whose father Ennis Robinson owned Lumina with his brother Relmon Robinson

and brother-in-law Walter Hursey, agreed. Born a few years after the men bought it, Linda Robinson’s childhood unfolded in the glow of Lumina.

“When I lay down at night in my bed, I could see all the lights of Lumina,” Linda Robinson said. Neither Silvey nor Linda Robinson lives on the island today, but the daze of Lumina remains. “My heart’s still at the beach,” Silvey Robinson said. “You see what’s there, but you remember

what used to be there, how pleasant it was and how uncomplicated it was.”

The big, black cloudWhen swarms of mullets swam near the shore, local fishermen cast nets so big that

onlookers on the beach were needed to pull the catch onto shore. To bring the community together, the art of snagging the fish hinged on knowing when the catch

approached. Standing on the old wooden jetties built to curb erosion, one could see a swarm of mullets moving toward the beach and tip off the fishermen and families.

“My grandfather and my brother would stand on top of the jetties and watch for the big, black cloud in the water,” Linda Robinson said.

Her brother would then run from house to house, alerting every family. She was proud to later take on his job when her brother grew out of it.

She said, “I just thought that was the grandest thing in the world, to be the one to run around to everybody’s house and yell, ‘Mullets, mullets!’”

The mullets usually ran along the shore during early morning, bringing out children and wives in nightgowns and bathrobes, all helping to pull a huge net of fish onto the beach.

Not one of them brokenWhen marine radios revealed a hurricane was heading toward the beach the evening

of Oct. 14, 1954, Cecil and Silvey Robinson stayed up all night listening. At dawn the next day, they loaded up the children and she drove inland. Her husband and

brother stayed behind and weathered the storm in their boat, the Dixie Rebel. After the tide came in and the piers came up, with the boats still attached, the pair had

to dodge vessels drifting along without a captain before the Dixie Rebel sustained damage after crashing into submerged pilings. Cecil Robinson secured the boat to a light pole on Waynick Boulevard.

When Silvey Robinson traveled to the beach after the hurricane passed to find her husband, she saw dislodged houses and roads buried by sand — and finally, near where Carolina Yacht Club now sits, her husband.

“I saw my husband walking toward me. I dropped my children’s hands and ran toward him. By that time, I didn’t know what had happened to him,” she said.

Assessing the damage the next day, the couple saw something extraordinary.“As we walked south from Station One, or Lumina, there was a two-story house that had

been up on pilings and those pilings had been washed out, so the house was almost on its knees. ... And in the breeze were two strands of sand dollars, not one of them broken,” she said.

A Christmas spectacleThe trio of men that bought Lumina Pavilion was also the founding group of the beach’s

Lions Club, which orchestrated a spectacle every Christmas.Linda Robinson’s father, Ennis, would travel to Brunswick County and cut down the biggest tree he

found and set it up on the municipal dock, located at what is now Wynn Plaza. On Christmas Eve, he drove up and down the beach playing Christmas carols from a loudspeaker on his truck while the kids enjoyed a visit with Santa Claus.

“On Christmas Eve night, Santa Claus would come on the fire truck across the bridge, all lit up. It was so dramatic. And then a few years later — this was even more dramatic — Santa came in on the Coast Guard boat,” Linda Robinson said. “Santa gave out stockings to all the children.”

One way the club funded the Christmas festivities was by selling store-bought bread at slightly marked-up prices at the entrance of the only bridge that crossed the Intracoastal Waterway in those days.

Linda Robinson remembers the police chief, Millard “Stinky” Williamson, parked his car at the entrance to make sure everybody stopped.email miriah@luminanews.com

Queen Anne’s Revenge booty visits Brunswick Town, Fort Anderson Historic Site

By Pam CreechContributing Writer

Nearly 300 years after Queen Anne’s Revenge sank, the ship’s artifacts are making their way across the state. Six-pound can-nonballs, nails, a pewter plate and other items from Blackbeard’s loot are on loan from the North Carolina Maritime Museum in Beaufort. The exhibit also fea-tures multimedia displays that give descriptions of life aboard Blackbeard’s ship and explain how the artifacts were preserved.

In 1717, Blackbeard and his fellow pirates sailed from the Chesapeake Bay to the Caribbean, where he cap-tured a French slave ship, La Concorde, which he kept and renamed Queen Anne’s Revenge. Onboard the QAR, Blackbeard and his crew sailed throughout the Caribbean and plundered ships near St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Antigua. In May, 1718, the pirates sailed to Beaufort, N.C. Shortly afterward, the ship hit a sandbar and ran aground one mile

offshore present-day Atlantic Beach, N.C.

David Cartier, public relations coordinator for the N.C. Maritime Museum, said the touring exhibit of artifacts has allowed the museum and its staff to reach out to other institutions.

“The traveling exhibit was a way to reach out to other muse-ums across the state,” he said. “I think it’s been pretty successful.”

The idea to put QAR arti-facts on the road came from the N.C. Department of Cultural Resources, which has been responsible for excavating and restoring the items. Cartier said the salt-encrusted artifacts can spend up to six years in a labora-tory in Greenville, N.C., before they can be displayed at the mari-time museum.

Museum staff members trans-port and assemble the exhibit at each stop on the tour, at no cost to the host museums.

Saturday, Aug. 2, the exhibit moved to Brunswick Town/ Fort Anderson State Historic Site.

“The rain has not kept people

from coming out today,” said Brenda Bryant, site manager. “The parking lot is full.”

Crowds gathered as Billy Ray Morris, project leader for the QAR excavation, spoke about the 400,000 artifacts that have been retrieved from the ship.

“It’s a great way for us to combine efforts to promote our history,” Bryant said.

Children also joined in the opening day festivities as they made pirate flags and eye patches at craft stations. On sunny days, children will be able to partici-pate in a scavenger hunt that teaches them about Blackbeard.

“Children will be engaged with these interactions,” Bryant said. The children’s activities will be available until the exhibit leaves town Sept. 13.

The Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson Historic Site is free to the public and open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays. For more informa-tion, call 910-371-6613 or visit nchistoricsites.org

Dark Star Orchestra to resurrect the Dead By Thomas van ArsdaleIntern

Rob Barraco, Dark Star Orchestra keyboard-ist and vocalist, said there is a famous Grateful Dead line penned by Robert Hunter in the song “Scarlett Begonias” that goes: “Once in a while you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.” The upcoming Dark Star Orchestra performance in Wilmington, he said, just may be someone’s way of seeing the light.

Dark Star Orchestra will recreate a show from the vast Grateful Dead canon at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, Wednesday, Aug. 13.

“Our mission is to continue the Grateful Dead experience,” Barraco said during a July 29 phone interview. “We will take a specific show from the band’s 35-year history, use that set list from that show and play it in the style from that era with corresponding song arrangements because it all morphed over time.”

Dark Star Orchestra meticulously recaptures the Grateful Dead’s sound and will even perform using the same instruments and stage setup as was used during the show they intend to recreate.

“After that,” Barraco said, “the whole thing is improvised because Grateful Dead music is all about improvisation.”

Dave Weissman, Dark Star Orchestra publi-cist, explained the Grateful Dead probably never played one of its songs the same twice.

“Each musician in Dark Star Orchestra is so talented to be able to improvise but also stay accurately faithful to the Grateful Dead’s music and what they were all about,” Weissman said during a July 29 phone interview.

Since 1997, Dark Star Orchestra has played more than 2,200 recreations worldwide, and once performed 250 shows in a single year. As a testament to its mission, the band has been joined on stage by every living member of the Grateful Dead — guitarist and lead vocalist Bob Weir, bassist Phil Lesh, drummer Bill Kreutzmann, vocalist Donna Jean Godchaux and keyboardist Tom Constanten — and widely acclaimed jam band musicians Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman of Phish and Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule.

Concert night, the doors to Greenfield Lake Amphitheater will open at 4:20 p.m. and Dark Star Orchestra takes the stage at 5 p.m.

“It’s a four-hour-long show,” Weissman said. “They play for 90 minutes, and then the second set is close to two hours; but because you’re taken on a journey, the experience feels timeless.”

Barraco believes Dark Star Orchestra has experienced wide reception because Grateful Dead’s music continues to speak to people of all ages.

“I see people who are about 70 years old who are still coming out to the shows,” he said. “But I look in the audience and there are 15- and 16-year-olds out there and I think it is because anyone can gravitate toward this music. It sparks something in your head.”

Barraco said this show at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater is the perfect opportunity to expe-rience what was the Grateful Dead journey.

Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show. For more information or to purchase tickets visit www.greenfieldlakeamphitheater.com

Adventure seekers plug into GPS for hidden cachesBy Thomas van ArsdaleIntern

A community of Wilmington explorers is searching for trea-sures around the city. Geocachers are hunting under bridges, in high tree branches, through parks and along the bottom of the Intracoastal Waterway for log sheets they track online. Wilmington’s geocachers are staying active and seeing the city more intimately, by becoming involved in their surroundings.

Darrin Darazsdi, an avid geo-cacher known as BigD1976, explained the hobby as a mod-ern-day treasure hunting game in which players use global posi-tioning system-enabled (GPS) devices to navigate to a deter-mined location and then attempt to find a hidden container at that site.

“It has taken me to some truly great places and locations that I would have never visited had I not been hunting for a geo-cache,” he said during a July 30 interview.

Darazsdi, pavilion manager at the Surf Club and a geocacher for two years, said it is an activity for all ages and experience levels.

“Lots of families, outdoorsy folks and techies seem to be the most into it,” Darazsdi said. “Kids enjoy the treasure hunt and trading trinkets, or swag, which are left behind in the larger containers for trading. The environmentally conscious, the adventurer, it appeals to a vari-ety of personality types.”

Darazsdi spends his time away from Surf Club geocaching with his girlfriend Kelly Bowden, who goes by the geocache han-dle Sncbb.

“I love getting out with Kelly and exploring, whether by kayak,

mountain bike or on foot,” Darazsdi said.

Wilmington geocacher Ressie Cavenaugh explained the activi-ty’s FAQs during a July 30 phone interview.

The only navigation equipment required to find the treasures hidden by other geochachers is a GPS device or GPS-enabled mobile phone. Interested first-time geocachers must register for a free membership at www.geocaching.com and enter a loca-tion via zip code or address. The website aggregates the closest caches to that location.

“After you choose which one you want to find, the website will pull up a description about what kind of area you’re going to, and what you’re looking for,” Cavenaugh said. “After you plug in the coordinates to your GPS device, it’ll get you within about 10 or 20 feet from ground zero, which is where the cache is hid-den. Once you get there, you have to think as if you were the hider or use clues to see if you can find it.”

C a v e n a u g h , k n o w n a s 97Lumina in the geocaching community, is also an engineer at the Wilmington-based Eastern Instruments.

“One of my coworkers read about geocaching online, and told another employee and me about it,” Cavenaugh said. “I created an account, and we found out there were a few close to work. Now we go two or three times a week on our lunch break. It’s great because kids and adults can find caches that fit their experience and interest levels.”

A cache’s complexity is rated on its difficulty to find and ter-rain on a one- to five-star scale located on the geocache website. One star indicates very easy and

five stars indicate very difficult. “One-star caches are generally

wheelchair accessible or right off of a paved path,” Cavenaugh said. “But, if you choose to go after a cache that is a combination of five-star difficulty and five-star terrain, you’ll probably need special equipment like repelling gear, boats or a rocket ship.”

Cavenaugh is not exaggerating. One famous, but rarely logged, double five-star cache is currently traveling about 17,000 mph and orbiting about 250 miles above Earth aboard the International Space Station in locker No. 218 of the Russian Segment. The cache was created on Oct. 12, 2008, by video game devel-oper and entrepreneur Richard Garriott, or LordBritish, during a self-funded space tour to the International Space Station. It has been logged only once, by NASA astronaut Richard Mastracchio.

There are almost 2.5 million caches and more than 6 million geocachers around the globe. Geocaching is also about com-munity, reaching out to others and learning about the area of the caches.

“There are over 1,000 caches

within 25 miles of where I stand right now,” Darazsdi said. “Some very interesting ones will lead you to many historic, interesting and beautiful areas of interest in Wilmington.”

Darazsdi created his own cache series in Fort Fisher Recreation Area, taking geocachers down a hike of the scenic Basin Trail, past the former home of Robert Harrill, the Fort Fisher Hermit.

“These caches are somewhat easy to locate if you are looking, but this series is more about the journey it will take you on and the local history that it teaches you about,” Darazsdi said. “I’ve taken my nieces and nephews out with me, and I’ve met some great people.”

Geocaching inadvertently brought Darazsdi and Cavenaugh together.

“We have met several times, racing to get to a new cache

first, and yes as a reminder, we are both fully grown adults,” Darazsdi said. “If we didn’t share this interest, I don’t know that we would have met. It’s great exer-cise for both the mind and body.”

Whitney Garney is research and evaluation associate for Texas A&M University, a master of Public Health and the author of the recent study, “Geocaching for Exercise and Activity Research” (GEAR) funded by the Center for Disease Control. After track-ing 1,000 geocachers throughout the United States who cached at least once per week for 12 months, the GEAR study found that par-ticipants reported geocaching as a moderate physical activity for 134 minutes per week. The CDC recommends 150 minutes of mod-erate physical activity per week.

“Active geocachers were 40 percent more likely to meet CDC recommendations for physical activity compared to non-frequent geocachers and that is phenomenal,” Garney said during a July 30 phone interview. “We also found that geocaching is good for mental health. … Geocaching is one great option for people to have fun and be physically active at the same time without going to the gym and may just be what America needs to get moving.”

Darazsdi agrees that geocach-ing is not just a game. The hobby can build friendships, help one to stay active and give back to the community.

“‘Cache In Trash Out’ (CITO) is an ongoing environmen-tal initiative supported by the worldwide geocaching commu-nity,” Darazsdi said. “Since 2002, geocachers have been dedicated to cleaning up parks, beaches and other cache-friendly places around the world.”

Inhale, exhale.It’s the most instinctive action,

and yet for 70,000 people in the world, taking a breath is not natu-ral or easy. It’s a constant struggle to force oxygen into lungs clogged by mucus.

This is the reality for many patients affected by cystic fibro-sis, and working to change that is the reason for events like Pipeline to a Cure, held in Wilmington Saturday, Aug. 2.

The purpose of Pipeline to a Cure, now in its third year, is to raise funds and awareness for cys-tic fibrosis as well as to highlight the connection between surfing and CF.

The surfing community has thrown its support behind the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in light of recent discoveries show-ing that CF patients who surfed had healthier lungs than patients who did not. After a clinical trial, doctors in Australia found the salty spray from the ocean helped clear mucus from the lungs.

Many prominent athletes in the surfing community have involved themselves in Pipeline to a Cure. Legendary big wave surfer and paddleboarder Dave Kalama attended the 2014 event as surf ambassador and honoree.

Kalama first became involved with Pipeline to a Cure in California as a favor to his god-mother, Judy Burlingham, who served as chair for the event. That was where he met CF patient and surfer, Emily Haager.

“I spent the day with her, seeing her daily routine and the regimen of treatments, all the pills, and it was pretty intense,” Kalama said. “It put a face to it, made it personal.”

Later, while visiting the chil-dren’s ward at Massachusetts General Hospital, he saw first-hand the benefits, both physical and mental, that CF patients expe-rienced after surfing.

“It’s a little bit of a reprieve from what they’re facing con-stantly every day,” Kalama said. “Anything that draws you away from the routine, it’s a nice break for your mind as well as your body. And they’re not just having a bad day. … They’re fighting for their lives.”

Saturday afternoon, Kalama took CF patient and Wilmington resi-dent Scott Johnson paddleboarding in the Intracoastal Waterway. Although he had to undergo a double lung transplant in 2001, Johnson said that part of the reason he was able to survive for so long was his frequent surfing sessions.

Pipeline to a Cure also honored CF patient Howell Graham and

invited him to share his story with guests during the evening gala at the Country Club of Landfall. Graham was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at age 2, at which time his parents were told his life expec-tancy was seven years.

He is now 52.Howell’s mother, Nan Graham,

was by her son’s side during the gala, reflecting on his journey and the hardships faced by both her son and his family.

“It’s hard, really hard, to have a child with CF,” Graham said. “Not being able to breathe is a terrible thing. I’m eternally grateful to have him.”

Howell Graham’s health and quality of life improved drastically in 1990, the year he underwent a double lung transplant. It was an extreme measure taken by CF patients during that time, before the invention of modern drugs such as Kalydeco, which will soon be

able to treat 55 percent of the 1,800 mutations of CF.

Event chair Kay James said the closer the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation gets to the ultimate goal of finding a cure, the more important events like Pipeline to a Cure become, as each one is capa-ble of raising more than $115,000 for the foundation. These events are the only source of funding for research of treatments that could ensure patients not only a normal life expectancy, but also an infi-nitely better quality of life.

“CF patients are the most cou-rageous people I know,” James said. “They fight to just have a normal day. Events like this are extremely important. Everyone who is attending and supporting the event is getting us closer to saving lives — our honorees’ lives, our ambassadors’ lives, and those who we haven’t even met yet.” email emmy@luminanews.com

Waves of support to cure cystic fibrosisWashout for end of July fishing

Hook, line & sinker

The month of July has been tough for anglers, with mul-tiple days washed out due to heavy rain and thunderstorms. More than one foot of rain has made it even worse. The last week of July and the first week of August have not been any better. A stationary front has resulted in a strong chance of thunderstorms most days. The extended forecast doesn’t look a whole lot better, but the rain and storm chances slowly diminish in the coming days, and hopefully anglers will be able to enjoy outside activities over the weekend.

There have been a few who have braved the lapses in rain coverage and have done fairly well on inshore species.

The fishing for speckled trout has been very good in areas around New River Inlet and, closer to home, the lower Cape Fear River. Plenty of keeper fish have been reported coming from the creeks in both places and are being caught on both artificial soft baits and live baits such as mud min-nows and finger mullet. The lower Cape Fear River has also been producing some decent-sized flounder around the many islands, creeks and also in Snows Cut on slack water. Red drum are being found as well, however sight casting to fish is almost impossible due to the muddy water.

Docks and creeks around Wrightsville Beach are pro-ducing some drum as well,

however with the weather and muddy water, the fishing has declined in recent weeks. Flounder fishing has been good in the inlets and around the rocks of the Masonboro Jetties. The dock and bridge pilings are also producing some decent sheepshead fishing for those using sand fleas, one-armed bandits and barnacles.

Surf anglers have had some success in the dirty water with good-sized Virginia mul-let. Fishermen are baiting up with both fresh shrimp and sand fleas, having luck with both. Some small spots and a few croakers along with a few flounder and red drum are also being reported on occasion.

Boaters have had limited opportunities to head outside the inlet, but when the chance presents itself, they have been rewarded with some good bottom fishing in the 30-mile range, catching grouper, trig-gerfish, black bass and snapper. Those heading to the blue water of the Gulf Stream have found a few wahoo, dolphin and tuna around the well-known areas like the Steeples and Same Ole. Water temperatures off-shore are still extremely warm and anglers finding any sort of temperature break are also find-ing some fish nearby.

With August upon us, anglers are looking forward to enjoy-ing better weather. But, Mother Nature may have other plans, so we’ll just have to wait and see what the future brings.

Legendary surfer and paddleboarder Dave Kalama, center, paddleboards in the Intracoastal Waterway with Scott and Leanne Johnson as a part of Pipeline to a Cure on Saturday, Aug. 2.

Front Street. This will be the second time Yu has hosted this tournament.

In 2013, the Port City Battle attracted more than 150 competi-tors. Based on the success of last year’s tournament, Yu believes the 2014 edition could have 250-300 competitors from three different states. Six different martial arts schools from the Wilmington region will be competing.

“With the help of parents and volunteers, we were able to set everything up way in advance and make the tournament as smooth as possible,” Yu said. “This helps bring people back, and through word of mouth we’re hoping to build on last year’s tournament.”

There will be three different events competitors can participate in: forms, weapons and spar-ring. Forms and weapons are performances, while sparring is one-on-one combat. In the spar-ring event, no shots to the face are permitted and each competitor must wear headgear, hand pads, feet pads and a mouthpiece.

The tournament will also divide into nine groups based on age and experience in martial arts. Yu believes the ages will range from 4 to 78 years old.

Registration begins at 9 a.m. the day of the event. There is a $50 fee

to participate, covering all events and a prize sword for each compet-itor. The tournament will begin at 10 a.m. and Yu expects to conclude in three or four hours.

Despite the Dynamic Martial Arts School teaching exclusively taekwondo, all forms of martial arts are welcome in this tourna-ment. Yu believes taekwondo, kung fu and karate will be the three main practices of martial arts

represented.“I believe in the saying, ‘com-

peting is winning,’” Yu said. “This event could help open their eyes to other practices, but also help them compare their progress to other people their age outside my school. But the main thing that I want every competitor to accom-plish is that they had fun in the Port City Battle.”

Super structure

The Sidbury risesby maRimaR mcnauGHton, staFF WRiteR

One of three high rise buildings is currently under const ruc-tion at the corner of

Wrightsville Avenue and Canal Drive. It’s hard to miss the steel I-beams even when dash-ing east on the approach to the Heide Trask Drawbridge toward Wrightsville Beach.

“It’s going to be three beefy buildings out there,” said Jeff Walton, associate planner, com-munity development during a phone interview last month. Walton didn’t initially review The Sidbury but has since inher-ited the project through attrition.

Splayed across 4.5 acres, the $16- $18-million project design will support 110 residential units and 15,000 square feet of com-mercial space, Walton said. The building currently under con-struction, closest to the road,

building C, will be 50 feet tall. Its four floors will

expand to 55,000 square feet.

The ground floor will house The Sidbury’s commercial spaces. The other two buildings will be 5 feet shorter, primarily residen-tial developments, with parking beneath the buildings.

After years of development attempts, The Sidbury plans were finally approved in January 2014.

“We’ve given them the green light to build, baby build,”

Walton said.

“The only time we would have contact with [the developer] would be if there were any major plan changes that we will need to address or if he calls us in to issue a certificate of occupancy.”

The city’s zoning inspector periodically drives by to ensure tree protection fencing is in place and wetlands are undisturbed Walton said. An engineering inspector will also conduct peri-odic site visits to check for public improvements.

“Sidewalks, water and sewer lines, stormwater lines — even-tually some of that stuff will be accepted for the city to maintain,” Walton said.

The Sidbury takes its name from Dr. J. Buren Sidbury who ran the pediatrics and maternity medical facility for more than 50 years.

Baily and Associates has con-trolled options for the property

since the 1990s at a time when the circa 1920s Spanish Colonial hos-pital structure was intact. Bailey first submitted plans to demolish the building in 2001. In 2002, Wilmington City Council voted to designate the building a local historic landmark and a stay of demolition was issued. The build-ing was torn down the following year after no buyer committed to saving it.

Ten years later, in summer 2013, the few buildings that remained from the former Babies Hospital complex were demolished. Earlier that year, in January, the project was granted a special use permit for the property zoned Office and Industrial during a Wilmington City Council meeting allowing project architect J.C. Woodall a 5-foot increase in building height over the 45 allowed in O&I zones. email Marimar@luminanews.com

Planning board discusses floodplain ordinance changes By Emmy ErranteStaff Writer

During its monthly meeting Aug. 5, the Wrightsville Beach Planning Board considered the repercussions of approving a staff recommended text amendment to the town’s floodplain ordinance. These recommen-dations, if then adopted by the aldermen, would change the effective dates of pre-FIRM and post-FIRM definitions.

FEMA defines post-FIRM as being any building or development for which the start of construction occurred on or after Dec. 31, 1974.

The state of North Carolina, however, has defined post-FIRM as being any building built after Dec. 31, 1970. The Town of Wrightsville Beach used the 1970 definition. FIRM refers to the flood insurance rate map.

Changing the date to agree with FEMA’s would affect flood

insurance rates for those properties built from 1970 to 1974. Chairman Thomas “Ace” Cofer said the biggest group this action will affect would be Channel Walk, built 1972-74.

“What I was trying to do was be consistent with FEMA’s regula-tions, I didn’t want a date in there that was incorrect,” said Tony Wilson, planning and parks director.

Not being in compliance with FEMA regulations could lower the town’s low insurance rating.

“It’s a big deal,” Cofer said. His main concern for the town was insurance premiums on pre-

FIRM properties were generally more costly than post-FIRM properties because owners had to pay an escalated premium. The proposed change to the FIRM date would create more pre-FIRM structures in Wrightsville Beach.

Cofer pointed out FEMA still had a map on its website indicating

the post-FIRM/pre-FIRM line for Wrightsville Beach was drawn at 1970, so he questioned if FEMA would still honor that.

“I wouldn’t be comfortable giving a favorable recommendation right now without some research into questioning why FEMA wouldn’t accept that 1970 map,” Cofer said.

The board voted unanimously to table the discussion until the next meeting.

At that time, the committee will also vote on part two of the same amendment, which would do away with the requirement for properties located on higher ground to have breakaway walls. This AE zone includes most homes along Waynick Boulevard and Lumina Avenue.

The planning board plans to revisit both issues at its next meet-ing Tuesday, Sept. 7.email emmy@luminanews.com

Using municipal bonds as an investment vehicleProvided by RBC Wealth Management and Dave Dupont

The nation’s economic woes have affected all of us, but municipalities have been hit particularly hard, result-ing in cash-strapped state and local governments across the country. Consequently, you might be wonder-ing how this situation could affect an investment class you might be consid-ering: municipal bonds.

If you’re thinking about municipal bonds (munis) or if you already own some, you are aware of their key ben-efit — namely that the interest payments generated are free from federal income taxes, and in some cases, state and local taxes. (Interest payments from some types of municipal bonds may be subject to the alternative minimum tax.) This tax advantage means that you’d have to earn a much higher yield on other types of bonds to match the “taxable equivalent yield” of munis. Typically, the higher your income tax bracket, the more you’ll gain from investing in municipal bonds by possibly avoiding some income taxes.

In addition to their tax advantages, municipal bonds offer other benefits. Munis can help diversify an investment portfolio that may be heavily weighted toward stocks and corporate bonds. Also, by adding quality municipal bonds to your holdings, you can help support worthwhile projects in your community, such as construction or expansion of schools and hospitals.

Historically, municipal bond default rates have been much lower than those of corporate bonds, especially lower-quality bonds. Of course, what has happened in the past is no guaran-tee of future results. Many municipalities have responded to the fiscal crisis by cutting spending, eliminating nonessential programs and in some cases, raising taxes.

They have ample reason for doing this; in good times and bad, municipalities still need funding for projects. If they defaulted even once on their current bond payments, they could find them-selves unable to borrow money, in the form of new municipal bonds, for a long time.

Still, if you’re going to invest in municipal bonds, it’s proba-bly a good idea to stick with those that receive investment-grade ratings from an independent rating agency, such as Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s.

Keep in mind there are federal legislative proposals being considered that would cap the tax deduction on interest earned from munis. Interest rate risk is also another consideration, but that is a topic for another day.

owners reveal secrets of retail longevity By Cole Dittmer Staff Writer

What does it take to make it in the Wrightsville Beach region’s retail scene? For more than 20 years, Chuck Bourgeois of Sweetwater Surf Shop and Estelle Baker of The Fisherman’s Wife have built retail mainstays by selling to the Wrightsville cli-entele. While neither will admit to holding the secret to sustained retail success, each business owner said it comes down to the simple things.

“I don’t think there is a secret,” Baker said. “The bottom line is you always have to listen to your customers because they are very smart, very educated and very knowledgeable about what they want. If you really listen to them they will tell you.”

For Bourgeois, part of the win-ning formula is making mistakes.

“It has really just been making mistake after mistake and learn-ing from those,” Bourgeois said.

The surf industry has changed significantly during the course of the 20 years Bourgeois has owned Sweetwater. To keep up in its ever-changing nature, he finds help in the next generation, like his daughters, Danielle and Shana, who manage the store.

“I’m in my 70s now so I am beyond the trends but I rely on my daughters … and some other key people in there,” he said. “It is having that nucleus of four or five people that are younger and keep up with the trends.”

Not ready to give up her active role in the buying process yet, Baker said her diet of two mer-chandise shows a year helps her

Sweetwater’s customers coming from the University of North Carolina Wilmington. Having UNCW so close to Wrightsville Beach is one of the things that has kept the shop going, Bourgeois added.

“ W h a t i s n i c e a b o u t Wrightsville Beach is the prox-imity to the university because that is our type of clientele, the students,” he said. “Really you can’t find anything like UNCW up and down the coast; there are some schools down in Florida that are close to the beach, but not beaches like Wrightsville that are small with one road up and down the main strip.”

No matter who the clientele is, Baker said customer service is the one thing that can make or break any retail business.

“Beginning, middle and end it is about customer service and if you don’t have that you might as well not even open the door,” Baker said. “For a customer to come in, be helped, have a good experience and walk out the door happy is a challenge but it feels so good when it happens.”email cole@luminanews.com

stay on top of the new trends. Finding the balance of quality and value is key when selling to the Wrightsville market, Baker said.

“After 22 years in business I think we understand what our customers want — they want something wonderful but they want the value to be there as well,” she said. “I am not always right and I have certainly made my share of buying decisions that did not go the way I had hoped but … if you really pay attention to your customers and make them

understand you want them to tell you what they want, they will.”

Similarly, Bourgeois said hit-ting that fine line of quality and value is especially important for surf shop clientele, with many of

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...

Week 4, in a multi-part series

Throughout the New Testament it was made very clear that not only was the church to carry on the ministry of Jesus with signs and wonders, but our lives were to reflect more Christ-likeness. These were two completely impossible tasks without the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit working through us.

I was raised in what most would consider a dysfunctional family; we knew very little about how to love, encourage or uplift one another. To make matters worse, after graduating from New Hanover High School, I moved directly into a 10 year career as a professional musi-cian. Neither of these prepared me for the righteousness and holiness that I now desired to live in.

This was in itself a miracle, because I truly desired to change. Through the miracle of being “born again” (John 3:16), I no lon-ger wanted to do the sin I still found myself doing. My desires had changed, but I felt powerless to bring my flesh under subjection. I related well to the man that Paul describes in Romans chapter seven:

For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. For I know that in me

(that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me (Romans 7: 15,18,19,21 NKJV).

It was during this time of despair that I was introduced into the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Just as described in the second chapter of Acts, this second work of grace was accompanied by signs and wonders, building a fire in me for more that has never been quenched.

It was as if God in His foreknowledge saw the need and made the provision thousands of years in advance. He knew there were many, like myself and some of you, who will never be satisfied with status quo Christianity. Perhaps He also looked through the portals of time and saw a generation that would need this extra power to dig itself out of the carnality and sin we would grow accustomed to.

I do not believe that this second work of grace affects anyone’s salvation whatsoever. I do believe, however, that if you want to rise above the crowd of Christian spectators and experience the fullness of a life hidden in Christ, His power is still available for those seeking it.

TURN FROM SINJohn 11:5 “Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.”

JOHN 11:5It is interesting to note that special mention is made of Jesus loving

Martha. This is after the incident recorded in Luke 10:38-42 where Martha is caught up with serving instead of worshipping Jesus and her priorities are still not in order. Jesus was not rebuking Martha but rather exhorting her for her own profit. When the Lord deals with problem areas in our lives, it is always for our profit - not punishment and we should not take it as rejection. This is one way to discern God’s correction from the devil’s condemnation.

God convicts us of sin but He doesn’t condemn us. Conviction is solely for our profit with no malice while condemnation includes punishment. Satan is the one who condemns the Christian, but the Holy Spirit has given us the power to escape that condemnation. The way the Lord convicts a believer is through the inner ministry of the Holy Spirit. This is always done in a positive manner that encourages

us to turn from sin rather than the negative way of condemning us for having committed the sin.

A Christian who still walks in condemnation is being condemned by the devil or is condemning himself. Only those who are living in the power of the Holy Spirit escape condemnation. Compare this to the law of gravity. Gravity is a law that never quits exerting its power, but it can be overcome. Through the laws of aerodynamics man can actually fly and send space ships beyond Earth’s gravity. But it takes power to do this. If the power is shut off, the law of gravity is still at work and will cause the vehicle to fall.

Likewise, the law of sin and death still exists. If a Christian shuts off the power of the Spirit of life and begins to walk in the power of his own flesh, Satan will use this law of sin and death to condemn him and ensure he crashes. It’s not God who condemns us.

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.
