Wrightsville Beach voters to pick new mayor in Tuesday election
Lumina News owner faces drug charges after weekend arrest
DeGroote, Partin running for aldermen unopposed With the choice between a fresh voice promising change and an experienced board member touting the town’s record, Wrightsville Beach voters will elect a new mayor on Tuesday, Nov. 5, while two new members will join the town’s board of aldermen. Darryl Mills, who has won two four-year terms as an alderman and currently serves as the mayor pro tem, will run for a two-year mayoral term, seeking to replace the outgoing Bill Blair, who is not seeking re-election after six years as the mayor of Wrightsville Beach. Mills is being challenged for the role by Greg Buscemi, a local attorney and political newcomer who is seeking his first elected position. Both Jeff DeGroote, owner of a local surf shop, and Zeke Partin, a retired accountant, will move from the planning board to the board of aldermen, as both run unopposed for two open board seats, as alderman Elizabeth King isn’t seeking re-election. In an August interview, Mills said his focus for the town was to continue improving its infrastructure and boosting its savings for beach sand funding and hurricane preparedness. He said his primary goal as mayor would be to continue progress on upgrading the town’s outdated water and sewer system, as well as keeping streets paved and in good

NHRMC Partnership Advisory Group holds first meeting
At the introductory meeting of the New Hanover County and New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC) Partnership Advisory Group on October 29, members selected the group’s co-chairs and vice co-chairs and received an overview of the work ahead. Members voted for Spence Broadhurst and Barbara Biehner to serve as co-chairs and Joseph Pino, MD and Bill Cameron to serve as vice co-chairs. These leaders were chosen from a list of members who indicated a willingness to serve in these roles. The meeting also included a discussion of the timeline of meetings, moving toward the request for proposals being finalized in December. In January and February, the group is expected to evaluate options for NHRMC remaining independent, and then begin reviewing the proposals that come back in March, preparing a recommendation on how to move forward around April. If this recommendation involves some sort of partnership with another organization, additional due diligence will be done over the next four to six months before an agreement goes to the NHRMC Board of Trustees and County Commissioners for approval. The next two meetings of the Partnership Advisory Group will be November 13 and November 20, both taking place from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the New Hanover County Government Center, 230 Government Center Drive, in the Andre Mallete Training Room. The meetings are open to the public, but no not include a public comment period. An email address has been created for the community to share feedback with the Partnership Advisory Group throughout this process. The public can email PAGcomments@nhcgov.com with comments and questions. The Partnership Advisory Group was established following the New Hanover County Commissioners’ September 16th approval of a resolution to begin a research phase to understand what options exist for NHRMC’s future. The group includes nine community members, five physicians, five members of NHRMC’s Board of Trustees, New Hanover County Manager Chris Coudriet and NHRMC President and CEO John Gizdic. More information, including a biography of each member, can be found at NHRMCfuture.org. Information and presentations from the meetings will be shared at NHRMCfuture.org/stay-informed.
Wrghtsville Beach ABC Store closes; temporary location to be opened The Wrightsville Beach ABC Store, located at 6730 Wrightsville Avenue, closed on Saturday, October 26 for several weeks in order to move the store’s inventory into a temporary location at 7041 Wrightsville Avenue. The store will reopen after the temporary space is retrofitted for the needs of ABC, and an announcement will be made once the temporary location is open. The current ABC building’s lease with SSG-2, LLC (also known as State Street Companies) ends October 31, 2019 and updated lease terms could not be reached. SSG-2 offered an lease extension for a longer term than the ABC Board needed and a rental rate that the board deemed significantly higher than the rental market. “The New Hanover County ABC Board regrets any inconvenience to our customers caused by the move of the Wrightsville Beach ABC Store to a temporary location,” said Zeke Partin, Chair of New Hanover County ABC Board. “The ABC Board will make every effort to provide the selection and Christmas items our customers have experienced previously. The good news is that a new state of the art Wrightsville Beach ABC store will be opening just across the street from the temporary location in a few months. “ New Hanover County ABC is currently constructing a new Wrightsville Beach ABC Store on Wrightsville Avenue that is anticipated to be complete in February 2020.

Two arrested after high-speed chase results in death A Raleigh man is dead and two individuals are in custody after a high speed chase with a New Hanover County Sheriff’s Deputy ended on Wrightsville Avenue around 10:35 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27. Police have charged Timothy Willoughby Jr., 40, with felony murder, felony speed to elude, exceeding posted speed, DWI, red light violation, misdemeanor breaking and entering and possession of drug paraphernalia. Amy Miles, 38, the passenger with Willoughby has been admitted to New Hanover Regional Medical Center and will be charged with aiding and abetting DWI and possession of paraphernalia. The chase started after law enforcement began searching for a suspect involved in an armed robbery at the Walmart at Porters Neck. Deputies began the pursuit on Oleander Drive after discovering the suspect vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. Deputies stopped the vehicle at Oleander and Floral Drive, at which time the suspect rammed a police vehicle and drove onto Wrightsville Ave. Deputies pursued it on to Wrightsville Avenue where suspect vehicle ran two separate red light intersections ultimately crashing into a Jeep Wrangler at Wrightsville Avenue and Country Club, ejecting Sean Alan Evans, 51, from the vehicle. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

NHRMC’s future: where we are and where we’re headed County Manager’s Message By Chris Coudriet New Hanover County Manager
The future of New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NHRMC) is a main topic of conversation throughout the community. I understand why – it is an incredible asset, provides high-quality health services, and is our region’s largest employer. All those reasons, and more, make the process we are embarking on incredibly important. After the New Hanover County Board of Commissioners voted on September 16 to explore different ownership structures and partnership for NHRMC in light of
the known and unknown changes coming in health care, we began the work of forming a Partnership Advisory Group (PAG) to help lead this process. The advisory group is made up of nine community members, five physicians selected by NHRMC medical staff leadership, five members of NHRMC’s Board of Trustees selected by the trustees, and NHRMC President and CEO John Gizdic as well as myself. The 21 members are diverse in opinions, backgrounds, and professions; and I think they
are an outstanding group who will offer a clear direction on behalf of our community on the appropriateness of any changes to the hospital’s current model. You can read their impressive bios here. This group will be responsible for developing priorities for the hospital’s Request for Proposal (RFP), selecting a minimum of five health systems that will receive the RFP, evaluating the proposals received and examining the options for maintaining county ownership. After months of due diligence, they will then provide a recommendation on next steps to the Board of Commissioners and NHRMC Board of Trustees. A recommendation could include negotiating with one or more systems regarding proposals or pursuing
other ways to support NHRMC as a county-owned hospital. We are going to look at every option available to us. This process will likely take a year or more, and will include thorough research and open, public discussions. I encourage everyone in the community to continue to be engaged and informed, attend PAG meetings to hear the conversations (they are open to the public and our first one will be held on October 29 – view those details here), and attend the public hearings that will be held throughout this process to share your thoughts. We want this process to be open, we want the community to trust that we have heard you – and this 21-member advisory group, along with
the Trustees and Commissioners, will take the time that is needed to thoughtfully and thoroughly examine any and all options for our health system. We all want what is in the long-term best interest of the community and health care delivery for our citizens. And I believe this process will help answer if there is a better model or not, and how we achieve that. The process going forward is neither pre-determined nor likely to take less than a year. The PAG has a lot of work to do and will have clearly defined goals. They will be supported by staff from the county and hospital with legal representation, and several consultants (one of which will be an outside financial advisor) will be part of the process.
At the first few meetings of the PAG, the members themselves will elect the group’s co-chairs and vice co-chairs, provide input on the financial advisor that should be selected, and learn about all that is happening in the healthcare industry and NHRMC’s current position and priorities. It’s important the PAG members make these decisions and have all of the information necessary as we move into this process. The Request for Proposals will be one of the first things the PAG works on, developing it based on the public’s priorities as well as the vision of the hospital and county. I anticipate that to be completed and shared with the Trustees and Commissioners sometime in December. Potential n See NHRMC Page 2

partners would then have at least 60 days to respond to the RFP, so Continued from Page 3 it will likely be February or March before proposals are received. While waiting for the proposals to come back, the advisory group will be evaluating what it would mean for NHRMC if it were to remain independent and county owned. This will serve as the baseline to understand whether a partner would help NHRMC accelerate or enhance what it could do on its own. The proposals that come back will be shared at NHRMCfuture.org for the community to see and another public hearing will be held on the proposals. If the Partnership Advisory Group, Trustees and Commissioners all agree to move forward with one or more of the proposals, several more months of exploration and due diligence will occur before a final proposal is brought to Commissioners for a vote that would allow a change in ownership, affiliation or structure. If we get that far, any agreement would be shared publicly and a public hearing would take place for the community to comment. I believe that over the coming months, the community will be able to see the work being done and the deliberate and thoughtful process that we are going through, as opposed to us just talking about. The advisory group is going to look at all options, all alternatives – and the public will be included in every step along the way.in our community.
