After Bladen County chemical spill, CFPUA resumes use of Cape Fear River following water test results Following consistent tests results indicating no abnormalities in river water near its intakes on the Cape Fear River, CFPUA has resumed withdrawing water for treatment at Sweeney Water Treatment Plant. CFPUA staff began monitoring water near intakes on the Cape Fear River early Wednesday after learning that a substance entered the river Tuesday afternoon from the Fayetteville Works industrial site in Bladen County. The decision to resume operations followed seven results from samples drawn between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. All samples indicated normal water-quality conditions at the intake. CFPUA staff will continue regular water-quality monitoring. CFPUA ceased withdrawing water from the Lower Cape Fear Water & Sewer Authority intake at Kings Bluff in Bladen County temporarily, starting about 8 a.m. Wednesday. CFPUA had stopped withdrawing water from its own intake at Kings Bluff late Tuesday. Withdrawals from both intakes were resuming about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday. Based on available information, CFPUA staff had estimated that 8 a.m. would be the soonElizabeth A.

CFPUA’s drinking water storage facilities were full when withdrawals ceased, so customers were unaffected by the shutdown. Regulators from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality contacted CFPUA about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday to say that a spill had been reported about 2:30 p.m. CFPUA staff worked through the night to learn more about the incident and take precautionary steps such as topping off its water storage facilities and putting in place contingency plans. In conference calls Tuesday and Wednesday, Fayetteville Works Plant Manager Brian Long told CFPUA staff it was believed that about 30 gallons of a plasticizer leaked from Kuraray Americas, an industrial tenant at the site. Long said the material contained no PFAS. He also said that containment steps had been taken and that the spill had ceased and was no longer entering the Cape Fear River. The Cape Fear River is the source of about 80 percent of the water CFPUA distributes. CFPUA customers served by groundwater are not affected.

Town’s public safety forces train in home set for demolition By Terry Lane Staff Writer

The demolition of the home at 107 Live Oak Dr. in late August provided a rare opportunity for the town’s public safety forces to conduct training exercises that aren’t normally possible. With a small group of neighbors watching on August 14, the session began with Wrightsville Beach police officer practicing entry into a home with an armed suspect inside. Officers used pellets and wore eyewear protection, shouting commands as they stormed the house in pairs and individually. As dusk set in, the town’s fire department set up operations, where they practiced entering a building filled with theatrical smoke, cutting through the roof and breaching walls to extricate fire victims. The exercise was possible due to the donation of the house by n See TRAINING Page 2

Red Dogs to appeal town zoning fines By Terry Lane Staff Writer

The owners of Red Dogs will appeal a series of fines from the Wrightsville Beach town government that it says the business accrued by not filing a zoning compliance application when the business reopened in April 2019. At the Wrightsville Beach Board of Adjustment meeting on Thursday, Sept. 26, the owners of the nightclub club will contest the $50-a-day civil fine issued to the business, which totals to $1,350. The town issued the fines daily from the business’ opening on April 18, through May 14, when

WB Museum announces 2019 Waterman Hall of Fame inductees The Wrightsville Beach Museum of History announced its 2019 Waterman Hall of Fame class this week. The 2019 inductees include Cornelius Nixon in the “Local Hero” category, Carl Snow for fishing, George Erkes for ocean rescue, Jack Viorel and Amy Rose for the “Special Recognition” category, and Jim Skiba for the “Pioneer” category. The induction ceremony is scheduled for Oct. 19 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Blockade Runner Beach Resort. Museum director Madeline Flagler said the awards celebrates watermen and women who represent sportsmanship both in and out of the water. “Those we recognize with this award exemplify the best of Wrightsville Beach in their character, demeanor, and spirit - both in competition and in

their respect for the community,” she said. “The Wrightsville Beach Waterman Hall of Fame is intended to be a lasting tribute for the achievements of the generations of Wrightsville Beach watermen and waterwomen who have shaped this community and its relationship with the water. Wrightsville Beach was established because of its beauty and the lure of its ocean and marshes as a place to fish, sail, swim and recreate on and in the water. The values exhibited by the best of those who have made this their home based on that relationship with the water are to be embodied in the hall of fame.” In Remembrance, the museum requested information on any waterman who passed away in 2019 to be included in the Remembrance Wreath Ceremony at the Induction.

it filed it challenged the fines. In a memorandum outlining its fees, the town said that AB Family Ventures Inc., the company through which Andrew Brothers owns Red Dogs, was requested to file a Certificate of Zoning Compliance Application, citing the town’s unified development ordinance. In its application for appeal, AB Family Ventures argues that the building being used by the business had not been changed or altered under the new ownership. It also said in its appeal that the permit issued to Red Dogs by the state Alcohol Control Board allowed it to sell beer and wine. The business is located at 5 B N. Lumina Ave. Red Dogs closed in November 2017 when the ABC terminated its private club license, but then reopened in April after Brothers purchased the businesses. The

former owner of Red Dogs had a long history of disputes with the town, which opposed Brothers’

step before a business or entity can challenge the legality of a town ordinance. It is chaired by

application for the ABC license, citing a history of police activity associated with the club. The state ABC board issued the license over the town’s opposition. The Wrightsville Beach Board of Adjustments is a quasi-legal committee that rules on legal interpretations on town ordinances. A hearing before the board is generally a necessary

A Warrior’s Deep Focus

Traffic Shift Planned for a Portion of Military Cutoff Road The N.C. Department of Transportation plans to shift traffic in one direction for a section of U.S. 17 in New Hanover County for about eight weeks. Beginning at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 25, the southbound lanes of Military Cutoff Road (U.S. 17) will be shifted between Gordon Road and Station Road. During this time, construction crews will be able to safely perform utility work for the Arboretum West Development, a mixed-use community that will include apartments, townhomes and commercial space. At least two lanes will be maintained during construction so traffic can be safely shifted and motorists can continue using U.S. 17 southbound. The project is expected to be complete by Nov. 20. No detour route will be provided during the eight-week period. All travelers are reminded to use caution, plan for delays in their commute and find alternate routes when possible.

Upcoming Closure of River Road between Raleigh Street and Sunnyvale Drive

A temporary signal has been installed at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Sunnyvale Drive and will be activated in the next few days in preparation for the River Road closure now scheduled to begin on Sept. 30. The $1.37 million project is expected to close the road for up to six-months so crews can replace a large drainage culvert beneath River Road and also relocate a CFPUA force main sewer line. Due to the large volume of traffic affected by the detour, a temporary signal is being installed at the intersection of Carolina Beach Road and Sunnyvale Drive to accommodate northbound traffic turning left onto Carolina Beach Road. Note: This is one of several large repair projects the city is undertaking in the next phase of efforts to repair damages to streets, sidewalks and drainage systems across the city that were damaged during Hurricane Florence. After initial repairs were made following the storm, the city had to get federal inspection and approval for all of the identified repairs for reimbursement of funds before work on this second phase of repairs could begin.
