Wrightsville Beach joins GenX lawsuit against Dupont, Chemours after chemicals found in water system By Terry Lane Staff Writer
The town of Wrightsville Beach has joined with other local municipalities in a lawsuit against the DuPont and Chemours companies over what it claims is contamination of several of the town’s well with chemicals of the same class as GenX. Wrightsville Beach said Tuesday in a press release that it was suing the corporations based on the results of at least nine sites within the town’s water system.
After learning on Jan. 31 from CFPUA representatives that the town’s Well. No. 11 may be contaminated with polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), the town discontinued use of the well. CFPUA tests went on to show that Well No. 11, located on Allens Lane on the mainland, which showed Gen X levels at 37 parts per trillion (ppt) which is lower than the health threshold of 140 ppt. The tests also indicated that other PFASs were in the well. The press release said that the town still met federal
and state standards for drinking water standards. Well. No 11 did test positive for GenX in July 2018, though below the state’s health threshold levels, and other wells were tested, which didn’t show any detectable contamination. After learning in January of the possible contamination, the town conducted several tests at least nine locations with its water system, including the two wells closest to Well No. 11. One of those tested and cleared in 2018, n See GENX Page 2

Family, friends remember humor, magic of ‘wizard’ Dean Goodyear By Terry Lane Staff Writer
n See GARDENS Page 2
Though a solemn day for all, there were smiles and laughs from the hundreds of people who remembered Dean Harrison Goodyear -- a popular local brewer, doorman and film production assistant -- as a man of great humor and spirit, at his funeral and reception on Tuesday. Goodyear, 30, who died unexpectedly from a medical condition on Sunday, March 10, was remembered by several of those who knew him as a man who treated everyone as a friend, making newcomers and locals alike feel welcome and wanted. His funeral and reception were attended by hundreds. “He would challenge you to be his friend,” said Alex Amick, a close friend and former roommate of Goodyear, during the reception at the Terraces on Sir Tyler, where hundreds gathered following the funeral at Port City Community Church.“The crowd here show how much of an impact he had on the city of Wilmington. Everywhere I went, someone knew Dean.” Goodyear was known by many in Wrightsville Beach from his work as a doorman at Red Dogs. However, though large in size, his friends spoke of a gentle giant whose heart was even bigger than his stature. “Dean was a gentle man,” said friend Jeremy Malanka, with whom Goodyear collaborated on a craft beer themed podcast called Malty Gravity. “He was a presence.” After attending Cape Fear Community College to study film, Goodyear picked up employment in a wide range of fields around the area. In addition to being a film assistant for local productions, he also attended massage therapy school and was taking online information technology courses in order to find work in that field. Many knew Goodyear through his work in the local craft brewing community. After working n See GOODYEAR Page 2

as an assistant brewer at Bill’s Front Porch, Goodyear moved to Broomtail Craft Brewery, where he was working as head of sales and distribution at the time of his death. His friends also spoke of Goodyear’s love of learning, which he often expressed through hosting trivia contests at locations around Wilmington. Nick Runyan, who worked with Goodyear and Amick on trivia questions, said he served as an audience to their unique brand of humor. In addition to always having a joke to crack, Goodyear would often make funny videos to post on social media. “He would say, ‘let’s learn something together,’ before working on the trivia questions,” Runyan said. “I felt like I was their audience for their humor. It was a challenge to earn their laughter.” Some of his friends first met him while trying to break into the local film industry. Jamie Bloom, who traveled from Atlanta to attend the funeral, recalled first meeting Goodyear when she was in Wilmington searching for a job in the film industry. Goodyear encouraged her, she said, and later, when she finally landed a film job, he was one of the first people she encountered on set. “You made it,” Goodyear told her. Many associated Goodyear with his love of science fiction and magic, Bloom said. “He’s the wizard. He knew that everything is about magic,” Bloom said. “He knew that life is surrounded by magic. Dean is magic.” Eventually, Bloom became

Many friends said they were inspired by the life Goodyear led. “He was the person you wanted to be. He was the person you wanted to see,” said friend Onra Morales. “He was selfless. He gave all of his self. I want to live up to the time and energy he invested in me.” Much of the admiration from his friends stemmed from his caring nature, friends said. “You could tell that he would care about you,” said friend Leslie Bellows. “He could talk people down from bad situations. You really believed that he gave a shit about you. Because he did.” At the time of his death, Goodyear was with fiance Alice Cox. One friend said the two had developed a deep love that was evident. While Goodyear hated going to the beach, he started going regularly with Cox, said Isabella Jewell. “That’s how I knew she was the one, when she got him to go to the beach,” Jewell said, fighting back tears. He was preceded in death by his mother, Lourinda Goodyear.

He always told me that I was the one who changed his life and taught him so much about himself, about God, and about love. Little did he know; he was really the one changing mine. I am a different and better woman for knowing and loving Dean and even though our time was cut way too short, I am so grateful that he chose me to love him for the rest of his life. I can proudly say that Dean knew what true love felt like before he left this earth. My heart will always truly belong to Dean Goodyear,” fiance Alice Cox wrote in his obituary.

sell water to Wrightsville Beach at a special rate to help supplement the loss of production from Well No. 11. Under the agreement, the CFPUA would supply the water to Wrightsville Beach during the summer months over a three-year period. Mayor Bill Blair said the deal with the CFPUA gives the town time to work on a permanent solution to concerns of PFAS contamination. Blair said the rate at which the town can buy water is equivalent to the cost of producing it from the current system, meaning the temporary fix won’t impact the town’s budget.

While the town was able to get by without Well No. 11 in the offseason last year, it won’t have the capacity once tourists arrive, Blair said, noting that the demands would put too much pressure on the town’s other wells, which would lead to other issues like salinity in the water. Blair said the town will not have to consider its options, which could include permanently connecting to the CFPUA system or adding new filters and wells to the
existing system. Adding filters to the town’s water system would be complicated and expensive, Blair said. He noted that the CFPUA had already added filters to the Sweeney Plant, which has been outfitted with filters to pull PFAS out of the water. Another complication, Blair said, was that while filters worked to remove some PFAS, only reverse osmosis was effective at removing GenX.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said that exposure to PFAS can lead to adverse health effects. Studies show that exposure to PFAS can cause reproductive and development, liver and kidney, and immunological effects in laboratory animals. The chemicals have caused tumors in animal studies, the EPA said. The most consistent findings from human epidemiology studies are increased cholesterol levels among exposed populations.

Man Pleads Guilty as Charged for Assaulting Officer in Wilmington Police Department Lobby Joseph Oscar Point III, age 28 of Wilmington, pleaded guilty as charged on Thursday, March 14, 2019 in New Hanover County Superior Court to one count of simple assault, one count of resisting an officer, and one count of felony assault on a law enforcement officer causing serious injury. The defendant was sentenced by the Judge Paul Quinn to 15 to 27 months of active imprisonment, according to a press release from the District Attorney’s Office. The District Attorney’s Office had asked for the maximum possible sentence, which would have been 19 to 32 months. Officer Aaron Lawrence of the Wilmington Police Department (WPD),
the officer who was assaulted, was in the courtroom at the time of the sentencing and expressed satisfaction with the outcome. This case arose from an incident where a woman named Tina Pellom and her then 39-year-old boyfriend Liwun Simon were being chased around town by Point, who is Pellom’s son, at about 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, December 16, 2018. The defendant, by his own admission, was doing so because he was angry about Simon dating the his mother. The chase proceeded all the way to the lobby of the WPD headquarters and culminated there with the assault on the police officer. This incident first came
to the attention of Officer Lawrence when Pellom and Simon entered the front door of the police headquarters at 615 Bess Street. Simon approached the front desk yelling, “Do you not have any officers out there?” Simon then talked of being chased and how he and Pellom needed officers outside. While Simon was saying these things, Officer Lawrence—who had beenworking at the front desk—came out from behind the desk and into the lobby. A seemingly frantic and outof-breath Pellom then told Officer Lawrence that she and Simon were being chased by her son, that he had a gun, and that he was angry with her for dating Simon. At that
point, the defendant entered the lobby and rushed toward Simon without responding to Officer Lawrence’s verbal commands for him to stop. Officer Lawrence then stepped in the way of the defendant and grabbed the defendant to prevent him from assaulting the other two individuals. Video surveillance shows the defendant then intentionally striking Officer Lawrence in the head, and the defendant and Officer Lawrence then both falling to the ground. Once on the ground, the defendant and Officer Lawrence continued to struggle for a short while. In the course of their contact, Officer Lawrence received a concussion. He also received a half-inch

laceration on the right eyebrow. When the defendant and Officer Lawrence stood up, the defendant pushed a disoriented Officer Lawrence away from him and stood there for a couple of more seconds still shouting at the two other individuals. WPD Corporal Daniel Roehrig then entered the lobby and yelled at the defendant to step outside, which the defendant did. It was only after the defendant had stepped outside that Corporal Roehrig realized that Officer Lawrence had been assaulted. Corporal Roehrig then quickly exited the building and saw the defendant at the bottom of the stairs walking toward Bess Street. Because Pellom and Smith had reported that the defendant had had a gun, coupled with the fact that the defendant had just assaulted Officer Lawrence and left him injured, Corporal Roehrig then drew his handgun and pointed it at the defendant
while loudly ordering Point to get on the ground. At that time, Corporal Roehrig was at the top of the stairs and the defendant was about halfway between the bottom of the stairs and the street. The defendant then stopped walking and looked back at Corporal Roehrig. As Corporal Roehrig descended the stairs, Corporal Roehrig continued giving the defendant loud verbal commands for the defendant to get on the ground. The defendant then put his hands in the air and dropped to his knees. As Corporal Roehrig reached the bottom of the stairs, Corporal Roehrig then ordered the defendant to get on the defendant’s chest. The defendant was compliant and got on his chest. At that time, Corporal Roehrig holstered his weapon. The defendant was handcuffed, searched, and was found to have no weapon after all.

New Hanover County to Consolidate Public Health and Social Services Agencies
New Hanover County Landfill’s Reverse Osmosis System
Results are in: New Hanover County effectively filtering landfill leachate In February of this year, New Hanover County proactively volunteered to be the first landfill to participate in North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality’s (NCDEQ) new landfill leachate sampling protocol. NCDEQ’s sampling results have been received, showing that the landfill’s reverse osmosis (RO) system is effectively filtering out Per- and Polyfluorinated chemicals (PFAS) prior to discharging treated water into the Northeast Cape Fear River. “These results are important for our community – to know that New Hanover County is taking a proactive approach through datadriven science to treat leachate at our landfill,” said County Manager Chris Coudriet. “We proactively volunteered for this study after we learned more about landfill leachate as a possible source of PFAS in water bodies. With the Board of Commissioners leadership, the landfill has been, and will continue to be, actively and innovatively making environmental stewardship a priority.” Landfill leachate is formed when rainwater infiltrates and percolates through waste. It been identified as a potential source of PFAS
because of the industrial waste, sewage, and other PFAS-containing consumer products found at the landfill. The county installed the reverse osmosis system, which treats the leachate and then circulates the reject byproduct back into the landfill, more than two years ago to help prevent contaminants from entering the environment. NCDEQ’s results show no detectable levels of PFAS in the treated leachate, confirming the system works effectively. NCDEQ sampled various points at the landfill, including raw leachate, treated water through the RO system, groundwater wells on site, and surface water from the Northeast Cape Fear River upstream from the landfill. All samples were analyzed for 33 PFAS and a summary, including a full data report, can be viewed here. NCDEQ will continue to collaborate with other landfills across the state to better understand the potential for PFAS in landfill leachate, and New Hanover County will continue to partner with NCDEQ as part of their landfill sampling plan.

At Monday’s meeting, New Hanover County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to consolidate the county’s Public Health and Social Services departments into one human services agency. Consolidation will become effective on July 1, 2019, providing service integration for the two agencies. Under this new governance structure, the Board of Commissioners will appoint a 15-person Consolidated Human Services Board to set a unified vision for the agency. “This is an important policy decision for our community, and I believe it will serve our citizens better with more efficiencies and an improved client experience,” said County Manager Chris Coudriet. “The programs our Public Health and Social Services departments offer will continue; what will change is the way they are administered. The goal is to make sure our clients and families have every opportunity available to them through
the services of both agencies, and to make those service offerings as streamlined as possible.” The county’s combined Public Health and Social Services facility is already underway, and is expected to be complete this fall. Social services operations will move into the building once it is complete, making way for a parking lot to be constructed where the current social services building is. By February of 2020, public health functions will move into the building – creating greater synergy for the consolidated agency at one location. In 2012, the North Carolina General Assembly gave counties the ability to consolidate departments into one Human Services Agency to promote efficiency and effectiveness, and to appoint a Consolidated Human Services Board. Currently, 37 other counties in North Carolina have executed consolidation.

Carolinas Classics All-Star Basketball Roster Features Players Committed to Top ACC Teams Seven of the top senior public high school basketball players from North Carolina and South Carolina commit to ACC teams
On March 23rd, the top public high school boys and girls from North Carolina and South Carolina will face off during the Carolinas Classic All-Star Basketball Games at John T. Hoggard High School
in Wilmington. “We are honored to have the best high school basketball student-athletes from our states come to Wilmington to not only compete at a high level in their respective games, but to be involved in outreach activities that touch youth and adults in the community,” said Shell Dula and Phil Weaver, executive directors of the South Carolina and North Carolina Coaches’ Associations, respectively.
Seven of the participating players are headed for the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) after graduation and others have already committed to leading schools.

center at New Hanover Regional Medical Center and four New Hanover County elementary schools. In addition, they will provide vocal and emotional support to children and adults with disabilities playing baseball at the Miracle League field in Wilmington. The Carolinas Classic All-Star Basketball Games will take place on March 23, starting at 6:00 p.m. The
games will not only showcase basketball talent, but will also give back to the community. All ticket proceeds will be donated to Access of Wilmington supporting the Miracle League, Project SOAR, and Access FIT. Tickets to the games are available for purchase online and are $10 for adults and $5 for children and students.
