Hosts 11th Day4Kids ON SATURDAY, SEPT. 17 from 10am until 2pm, Emerald Isle Parks and Recreation, along with the Emerald Isle Business Association and additional sponsors, will host the 11th annual Day4Kids at the Emerald Isle Community Center.

There will be several vendors giving away free gifts and information. Ronald McDonald will be visiting as well as Fat Cat from State Employees Federal Credit Union. A drawing will take place and prizes will be awarded in three different age groups. This event has become well known in the community and provides a day for families to enjoy quality time with their children.

Taste the Flavor of ENC Enjoy North Carolina beer and wine, samples from local restaurants, chef demonstrations, vendors, giveaways and music during the Emerald Isle Flavor Festival at The Islander, Emerald Isle. The event begins at 1pm on Saturday, Sept. 17, however, early admission VIP tickets are also available, allowing guests to arrive at noon and attend Friday evening’s VIP party.

One of North Carolina’s most beloved treasures, the wild horse herds of the Outer Banks, is the subject of an exhibition at Carolina Artist Gallery, Morehead City, from Sept. 17 to Nov. 11. Original art in many mediums celebrates the beauty and resilience of the horses, with benefits going to The Foundation for Shackleford Horses, Inc. The public is invited to an opening reception from 5-7pm on Saturday, Sept. 17. Carolyn Mason, president of the foundation, will speak at the reception, and a wine tasting by Gregory Vineyards of Angier unveils a private label featuring a chosen artist’s work to depict the horses. Several prizes are awarded to artists in various categories. For more information, call 252-726-7550, www.carolinaartistgallery.com or Facebook.

Beaufort’s Brewin’ Beer lovers who couldn’t help but notice the absence of the Beer, Bubbles and BBQ event during the 2016 Beaufort Wine & Food Festival are in for a treat this September. As promised, the event returns as part of a full two-day event, all focused on the love of the ale. “We felt with the success we’ve seen with our beer events, from Beer, Bubbles and BBQ to the beer luncheons and seminars, it would be great to see these events held in the fall as a standalone festival,” said Beaufort Wine & Food Festival Executive Director Lindsay Parker. Planned for Friday and Saturday, Sept. 23-24, the inaugural craft beer festival will follow a format similar to its sister wine event held each spring, including seminars, luncheons and dinners at area restaurants, local pubs and breweries. A beer walkabout will take guests on a tour of Beaufort with samples at every stop, while that Beer, Bubbles and BBQ event will keep everyone busy on Saturday afternoon at Front Street Village, sampling beer and barbecue to choose the people’s choice. Breweries attending include Carolina Brewing Co. of Wake County, Duck Rabbit from Farmville, Highland Brewing and Wicked Weed of Asheville, Mother Earth Brewing of Kinston, Natty Greene’s Brewing from Greenville, Beaufort’s own Mill Whistle Brewery among others. The first beer festival for Beaufort is joined by a road race on Saturday, Sept. 24, aptly named Runnin’ on Empty. With a 1-mile walk/fun run, and a timed 5K and a 10K (using RFID technology from IPICO Sports), the categories are set up so everyone can get involved. Of course it’s OK if you work up a thirst during your run or stroll – there will be plenty of beer available to runners over 21 years of age after the event, and root beer for those under 21. For a full schedule and ticket prices, visit beaufortwineandfood.org.

Lanterns on the Lawn at Tryon Palace General admission is $45; VIP tickets are $55. A limited number of tickets will be sold. Designed to showcase the best of North Carolina, guests will received a tasting glass, a beer koozie and a beer and wine guide to help through the festival. Area restaurants will be on hand with samples of their favorites. Shuttle service will be provided off-site parking at Swansboro Middle 8

book bag Lessons from the Sand By Charles and Orrin Pilkey ORRIN PILKEY IS professor emeritus of earth sciences at Duke University. Charles Pilkey is a North Carolina artist and writer. The father and son duo have combined their knowledge and skills to offer an amazing new book on many aspects of what one can find and do on a Carolina beach. The stated intent is to provide information and activities for children and parents to explore together in order to appreciate and protect our beaches. The first chapter deals with waves, explaining how to determine wave height with a focus on the relation between wind and waves. One interesting part of this book is the activities suggested for physically testing the lessons provided such as throwing an orange into the surf to determine how fast the longshore currents are. There is also a helpful explanation of rip currents with a guide as to how to escape one. Chapter two is concerned with moving beaches, a long time interest of Orin Pilkey. This section of the book explains the Beaufort Wind Scale and importance of sand dunes in protection against erosion. A suggested activity is to search for ancient shorelines such as the Minnesott Ridge near Havelock. Beach erosion and island migration are given attention here. Chapter three is about sand with an in-depth look at a grain of sand. Children will enjoy the activity on “barking sand’ and learning that all sand does not bark alike. Chapter four continues the study by discovering beach ripples, sand volcanos and sand blisters. The activity here is for the young with some help to examine the “layer cake beach’ to discover riddles below the surface. From a thorough section on shells to searching for fossils “Lessons from the Sand� is the perfect guide to the rich natural treasures along the coast. The chapter on birds is both thorough and colorful with great illustrations. The chapter on coastal plants also features excellent drawings. Children will find interesting the murder mystery where they are led to identify the killer of a mollusk. Any person with curiosity will want to take this book to the beach with them. It is a fun and clever way to discover and explore. From hands-on activities to thought provoking looks at how we need to protect our beaches the Pilkeys have created a gem of a nature guide.

county perspective Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Five Factors Driving Economic Growth THE CHAMBER OF commerce has been getting a flurry of phone calls and visits from companies and business principals interested in Carteret County, either to start a new business or to find property to develop. We’re, of course, thrilled to help bring commerce and jobs to the Crystal Coast. With that thought in mind, the following was recently sent to me via email: David Ivan of Michigan State University researched over 300 small communities in 22 states and found that there are certain areas that are laying the groundwork for sustainable economic futures. These communities have moved beyond just attracting companies to attracting talent, moving from investments in physical infrastructure to investments in creative infrastructuremaking the communities more attractive for people to live and work in.

ties recognize their vitality is dependent on new innovations, enhanced educational opportunities and strong human capital. Take advantage of our assets, like a strong community college and our own Young Professionals Network- Connect Carteret.

Here are five key elements that differentiate communities experiencing economic success:

4 • Strong Quality of Place: Successful communities create vibrant environments where people want to be. Communities that embrace their assets are viewed as authentic places that tend to become regional destinations.

3 • Strong Social Capital: Cultivate a strong social fabric with relationships that are deep and durable over the long-term. Identify and engage community members to help craft and implement a long-term vision. It’s also important to extend citizen involvement the young members of our community. Research shows that young people who have fond memories of their hometowns are more likely to get involved and return to that town when they’re ready to settle down and raise their own families.

1 • Development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem: Create an environment where people want to do business and support entrepreneurs. Connect them to others in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Give them every chance to succeed. Fairfield, Iowa, has proven to be a leader in this regard. Their local newspaper includes a column that features a local entrepreneur; an Entrepreneur “Hall of Fame” at their high school inspires students to pursue their own business ideas; an extensive peer-to-peer mentoring program pairs successful entrepreneurs with start-ups to help them navigate local bureaucracy and potential landmines they might encounter.

5 • Dedication to Progress: Repeatedly, the researchers found that successful, thriving and “cool” communities were proactive and determined to push forward, no matter how small the steps. Simple short term projects, as simple as planting flowers, can test concepts and build momentum for larger business development projects. It takes a community to foster economic growth and business development. Developing relationships, partnerships and collaborative efforts are key in moving the ball forward. In many ways, Carteret County is already on the playing field and we’re seeing steady business growth and interest in the Crystal Coast.

2 • Human Investments Driving New Economy Growth: Successful communi-

chamber connection Tom Kies, President Carteret County Chamber of Commerce

Chamber 2.0 I’D LIKE TO begin by thanking Mike Wagoner for 12 years of chamber of commerce leadership. Mike’s dedication and professionalism has helped to make Carteret County a premier location for business and leisure. He was absolutely outstanding at keeping an eye on legislation – local, state and federal – that had the potential to impact business here on the coast. I’d also like to take this opportunity to introduce (or reintroduce) the chamber staff. Our newest staff member is Lana Collmann who is our program manager. She is also the liaison to the Military Affairs Committee offering appreciation to military personnel in Carteret County. Her responsibilities also include the coordination of the annual Reverse Drawing, one of the chamber’s largest fundraisers. She also coordinates Leadership Carteret, a 10-week program that covers everything from government and education to culture and commerce. Every Tuesday, Lana produces the Chamber’s Member Notes that’s emailed to over 1,500 people. Julie Naegelen has been the director of membership services since 2006. Her philosophy is simple: Members first and foremost. Julie is the one who schedules, plans and conducts the ribbon cuttings, Business After Hours and the Business After Hours Expo. Julie is the staff liaison for the Ambassadors Club which goes out and does ‘face time’ with our nearly 900 chamber members. She coordinates the annual ‘Membership Drive’ and represents the chamber with Connect Carteret – A Young Professionals Network. Susan McNamara is the director of administrative services at the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce. She started at the chamber as the program manager in July of 2015 and in Octo-

ber of the same year she moved into her current position. She is the “go to” person for all Chamber’s administrative and online needs. She updates social media and the website, directory, online advertising and keeps the chamber’s extensive database maintained. Susan also makes sure you get your PULSE every Monday. First and foremost, this stellar staff is devoted to giving value to the chamber membership! So what can we expect to see in the near future for the Carteret County Chamber of Commerce? • Earlier this year, we did a survey of our members and overwhelmingly, the suggestion was that we become more digital. We’ve already improved our presence on social media, made it easier to purchase tickets to events, like the Reverse Drawing, and we’re streamlining our email blogs. • We are taking a look at our print publications to see if we can make them more user friendly. • We are evaluating our events to see how we can maximize networking opportunities for our members. • We’re exploring ways to bring more value to our members. • We are looking for collaboration and partnerships. • We’re going to bring more value to our sponsorship packages. I personally invite our members – and non-members – to take time to talk to me and share your ideas on how the chamber of commerce can be more valuable to the business community. The chamber’s mission statement is “To improve the economic climate of Carteret County.” I can’t imagine a higher purpose for any chamber of commerce.

Women & High Cholesterol HIGH CHOLESTEROL CAN dramatically affect a person’s longterm health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with high total cholesterol have approximately twice the risk of developing heart disease as people whose cholesterol levels are ideal. And contrary to what many people may think, women are no less susceptible to high cholesterol than men. Cholesterol can be a confusing topic. Though cholesterol has a bad reputation, that stature can be somewhat misleading. That’s because there are two types of cholesterol, one of which actually reduces a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke. High-density lipoprotein, often referred to as HDL or ‘good’ cholesterol, absorbs low-density lipoprotein, or ‘bad’ cholesterol, or LDL, and carries it back to the liver, which then flushes it from the body. HDL accounts for a minority of the body’s cholesterol. Unfortunately, the majority of cholesterol in the body is LDL, high levels of which can contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing a person’s risk for heart disease and stroke. Despite declining levels, the Centers for Disease Control show that one in eight American adults still have high cholesterol Women may think that the presence of the female sex hormone estrogen can positively impact their cholesterol levels. While estrogen tends to raise HDL levels, its presence alone does not mean women are out of the woods with regard to cardiovascular disease, including heart disease and stroke. In fact, the CDC notes that heart disease remains the leading cause of death among women. High LDL cholesterol levels do not mean women will automati16 ISLAND REVIEW

cally develop heart disease, but women who receive such a diagnosis should take the following steps to lower their LDL levels so they can live longer, healthier lives. ■ Eat right. Avoid foods that are high in fat, especially saturated fats and trans fats. The AHA notes that foods that contain saturated fats contribute to high levels of LDL. Fatty beef, lamb, pork, poultry with skin, lard and cream, butter, and cheese are just a few of the foods that contain saturated fats. Those foods all come from animal sources, but many baked goods and fried foods are also high in saturated fat and should be avoided. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are heart-healthy foods that can help women lower their LDL levels and reduce their risk for cardiovascular disease. ■ Exercise regularly. Routine physical activity can help women lower their LDL levels, especially when such exercise is combined with a healthy diet. The Office on Women’s Health recommends women get two hours and 30 minutes of moderateintensity aerobic activity each week, or one hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity each week. Speak with your physician to learn which exercises are most appropriate for someone in your condition. ■ Quit smoking. Smoking can accelerate the damage already being done by high cholesterol. While research does not indicate that smoking directly impacts LDL levels, the toxins produced and inhaled from cigarettes can modify existing LDL, making it more likely to cause inflammation. Cholesterol does not discriminate, and women need to be just as mindful as men when monitoring their total cholesterol levels.

Celebrating Seafood FALL IS A FAVORITE TIME of many along the Crystal Coast. Cooler temperatures, smaller crowds, award winning fishing and standout festivals are the earmarks of the shoulder season, and the NC Seafood Festival – which turns 30 this year – gets it all started Sept. 30-Oct. 2. Held during the mild climes of the first weekend of October, the Seafood Festival brings a full slate of special events, entertainment, rides, vendors, educational opportunities and enough fun to keep the whole family busy all weekend long. While it’s the music, the Ferris wheel and the chance to pick up wares from favorite arts and crafts vendors that keep visitors entertained, it’s that lure of the catch that brings them there – the ever-present aroma of seafood frying that calls residents and visitors to the waterfront in droves like a Siren’s song for the hungry. One of the best ways to raise awareness of Carteret’s abundant catch is to get that seafood into the hands, and ultimately the mouths, of consumers. Refreshing itself year after year, the Seafood Festival is focused on doing just that, coming up with creative new ways to bring the taste of the coast to the public year after year. If folks enjoy what they’re sampling throughout the festival, the seafood Open Aire Market gives visitors the chance to take a little piece of Carteret County seafood home with them. The Local Fair with Coastal Flair includes representatives from area fishery organizations to provide information on proper handling, cleaning and storing of fresh seafood. While seafood may be the focus, those with a hankering can find just about every kind of traditional carnival offering, from corn dogs and burgers to ice cream and funnel cakes, and some a little less ordinary, like alligator bites, dotting along Morehead City’s downtown waterfront. The food offerings are joined by more than 150 vendors featuring the wares of local artisans. Photography, painting, glass blowing and molding, wood carvings, wall hangings and pottery are just a few of the arts and crafts you can expect to find along the streets in Morehead City during the festival. Other booths will offer Seafood Fest gear, including T-shirts and a popular annual poster. It’s safe to say that the grassroots effort to raise awareness of the commercial seafood industry in North Carolina has exceeded all expectations. Recognized as the state’s second largest festival, the event has not only increased the visibility of Eastern North Carolina’s array of seafood, but it has provided a fundraising platform for nonprofit organizations throughout the region. Band and athletic boosters, Scout troops, churches, support groups and more are given an opportunity to sell their own, or festival merchandise, to raise money for their organizations. Since 1987, more than $2 million has been dispersed among participating groups.

The NC Seafood Festival Takes Over the Morehead City Waterfront

Blessing the Fleet Without the commercial fishermen who work the waters of Eastern North Carolina, there would be no reason for a Seafood Festival. Fishermen who have lost their lives to make their living on the sea are honored each year with what many consider the most moving part of the annual festival, the Blessing of the Fleet. The Sunday, Oct. 2 program, which is simulcast on 107 – the Talk Station, brings vessels in a parade past the NC State Port, while the names of those lost are read over a loud speaker. Fellowship, music and guest speakers round out the program. On the Sidelines There is a lot going on at the Seafood Festival – both in downtown Morehead City and in the surrounding areas. Between tapping your toes to the music, dining on the various options and strolling through the midway, there’s plenty to keep you busy. Be sure to check out the Southern Outer Banks Boat Show on land and in the water along the Morehead City waterfront on Saturday and Sunday. The Twin Bridges Road Race gets things started on Saturday morning, beginning at 8am at the Beaufort drawbridge. Fireworks are slated for 9pm on Saturday. Those looking for a little more action may want to try their hand at the Family Pier Fishing Tournament at the Bogue Inlet and Oceanana fishing piers on Saturday and Sunday. The entry fee is $15 per person. Six fish qualify for bragging rights, including spot, flounder, sea mullet, pompano, hogfish and bluefish. All must be caught by rod and reel and must be weighed by pier personnel. Entry forms can be found at ncseafoodfestival.org. To learn more about the NC Seafood Festival, visit ncseafoodfestival.org.

mayor’s notes Neighborhood Watch Successful I HOPE EVERYONE had a great summer. Where did June, July and August go? It just seems to fly by faster each year. September is one of my favorite months at the beach. The days are a little cooler and the nights are just fantastic. I am so proud of the Emerald Isle Neighborhood Watch. This group of dedicated citizens has done an outstanding job in making our town safer. I would personally like to thank each and every member of the Neighborhood Watch Committee for their hard work, dedication, and loyalty. What started out as a dream in January 2014 has now become a reality. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to thank them for a job well done. To everyone who has had a part in making this group so successful I say a BIG THANK YOU!!! Let me share some statistics from our Police Chief Jeff Waters about the success of this program. Since the start of the Emerald Isle Neighborhood Watch Program in January 2014: • The number of certified streets have increased from 1 to over 300 • Crimes against persons have decreased by 25%. • Crimes against property have decreased by 29% • Burglaries have decreased by40% • Thefts have decreased by 34% • Property Damage has decreased by 22% • Monetary loss due to theft and fraud has decreased by 16% • Overall Crime in Emerald isle is down 37% in just the first two years of the program I would like to share the following quote from our Police Chief

Jeff Waters, “Let me just say … THAT IS AMAZING. How do I know that the Neighborhood Watch Program is responsible for this? Mayor Eddie Barber Because the calls we have received at the police department have increased by 35% over the same time period from an average 8,500 a year to over 12,000. What does that mean? When you see something, you are saying something. You ARE making a difference in the quality of life and safety of our community and we need you to continue.” Chief Waters encourages the following: • REMAINING alert to what is going on around you and your neighborhood. • ENCOURAGING your neighbors, renters and guests to get involved and report suspicious activity. • POSTING the quick reference List somewhere visible in your home to remind everyone. • ATTENDING Coffee with a Cop, Police Educating the Public (PEP) and Neighborhood Watch meetings to stay informed. • INFORMING others about Neighborhood Watch and inviting them to become a part of it, • REPORTING any suspicious activity or behavior to the Emerald Isle Police Department. We have an outstanding Neighborhood Watch and an outstanding police department. As mayor I would like to thank everyone who has had a part in making Neighborhood watch a success. Thanks for a job well done. May God Bless each and every person!

Emerald Isle’s Fight to Preserve the Public Beach Continues THE CASE OF Nies v. Emerald Isle will be considered by the NC Supreme Court later this year, and the court’s decision could have a profound impact on the public’s use of beaches everywhere in North Carolina in the future. The ultimate question in this case is whether the public has a right to use the dry-sand beach in North Carolina. As argued by the town’s attorneys (the town’s brief can be viewed at www.emeraldisle-nc.org/Data/Sites/1/media/pdfs/legal/town-brief---nies---nc-supremecourt.pdf ), the plaintiffs contend the public does not have the right to use the dry-sand beach adjacent to their beach house. Plaintiffs claim that the public is only entitled to use the wet-sand beach. No North Carolina court has ever held that an oceanfront property owner has the right to exclude the public from the dry sand beach. If all North Carolina oceanfront property owners took the plaintiffs’ position, the dry-sand beaches of North Carolina would be effectively closed to the public. This would make it extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the public to enjoy the beach for traditional recreational activities that have occurred on the beach for centuries. The town maintains that North Carolina law clearly allows the public to use the entire flat, dry-sand beach area up to the base of the dunes. The entire 300+ miles of North Carolina’s beaches, in all 8 oceanfront counties and all 21 oceanfront municipalities, have been used by the public and managed with this understanding for centuries. The NC Superior Court and the NC Court of Appeals have both already ruled in the town’s favor, upholding the longestablished and universally-accepted policy and law in North Carolina that the public has the right to use the beach from the base of the dunes to the water. The NC Supreme Court will now consider this case, and they will make the definitive ruling on this issue. The Town of Emerald Isle is committed to the principle of public beach access, and has been fighting diligently since this case was initiated in 2011 to defend the public’s right to use the entire beach – wet-sand and dry-sand, between the base of the dunes and the water. The town is committed to public beach access in all forms, for enjoyment by all people, for various recreational pursuits. The town recognizes that different people enjoy different recreational activities on North Carolina beaches, including sunbathing, swimming, surfing, surf fishing, walking, running, driving, playing volleyball/bocce ball/corn hole/other beach games, flying kites, observing wildlife, and so on and so on. All of these activities rely to some degree on the public’s use of the flat, dry-sand beach and simply cannot occur solely from the wet-sand beach. If the NC Supreme Court overturns the NC Court of Appeals ruling, all of these activities are in jeopardy. The town also recognizes the paramount importance of unhindered beach access in order to provide critical water rescue and emergency medical assistance when called upon, and the need for reasonable regulations on the beach strand to protect the health, safety, and welfare of everyone on the beach. An adverse ruling in this case would have a devastating impact on all coastal communities and the state as a whole. If the public is no longer entitled to use the dry-sand beach, how desirable is it for a vacationer to rent a second row home or another interior home? What does that do the North Carolina tourism economy? What impact does that have on our restaurants and shops that rely on millions of annual visitors to our beaches? What impact does that have on all North Carolina coastal property values and the coastal real estate market? Where will people who live in mainland Carteret County or mainland New Hanover County, etc. enjoy the beach experience – is that not why many people on the mainland choose to live in relative close proximity to the beach? What kind of message will it send to the rest of the country as those families are planning their future beach vacations, second home purchase, or retirement destination – will it create a perception that “North Carolina’s beaches are private, so we don’t want to be there”? Beyond the drastic economic impacts, what about the ability of our dedicated volunteers to relocate sea turtle nests that require a dry-sand beach in order to hatch successfully? What about the need for emergency services personnel to travel safely and quickly along 24 ISLAND REVIEW

the beach strand to rescue those in need? What about the ability for other personnel to remove debris and keep the beach clean and beautiful for all to enjoy? What about aging and disabled individuals who no longer have the ability to walk on the beach, and need to use a vehicle to access the beach and enjoy the amazing beach experience in the fall and winter months? What about the thousands of surf fishermen who treasure the opportunity to “land the big one” from the beach strand? It is human nature to focus first on our own personal form of enjoyment of the beach, but the reality is that everyone’s ability to enjoy the beach is what makes the beach experience so special for North Carolinians and the millions of visitors who choose to spend their time and money in North Carolina each year. The entire North Carolina beach experience is at stake in this case, and the NC Supreme Court’s decision could impact all of us in the future.

New Grocery Store Proposed for Emerald Isle Plans for a proposed new grocery store will be considered by the planning board and the board of commissioners at multiple meetings in August and September. The new 31,000+ square foot store is proposed for vacant parcels (6+ acres) located along Hwy 58 and Crew Drive between Emerald Landing Drive and the Emerald Plantation Shopping Center. The proposed project includes a change in the legal status of Crew Drive, but maintains public use of the Crew Drive roadway in perpetuity in the same location. The applicants have proposed construction of a new, wider public roadway with curb and gutter, and also new sidewalks along Crew Drive and Emerald Landing Drive. The proposed project also includes either the installation of a new traffic signal or roundabout at the Hwy 58/Emerald Landing Drive intersection to address projected traffic impacts.

New Transportation Impact Building Complete The new headquarters for Transportation Impact, a parcel spend-management firm based in Emerald Isle, is now complete, and is a beautiful new addition to our community. The new, 12,000 square foot facility is three stories, and is just below the town’s 40 foot roof height limit. Transportation Impact offices are located on the first two stories, and the new Caribsea restaurant is located on the third floor, along with a rooftop seating area.

Coastal Federation Presents Pelican Awards THE NORTH CAROLINA Coastal Federation is recognized two central North Carolina coast residents at its annual Pelican Awards on August 6 in Beaufort. The federation’s annual event recognizes the year’s most outstanding contributions to the coast. Keith Rittmaster, a resident of Beaufort, received an award for his dedication to the research and protection of marine mammals. Laura Price, a Morehead City resident, received an award for her excellence in volunteer contributions to the coast. “This year’s central coast Pelican Award winners demonstrate the importance of long-term commitment to protecting and restoring the coast. These individuals have contributed countless hours toward making our coast cleaner, more beautiful and more productive,” said Todd Miller, the federation’s executive director. Rittmaster is the director of the Cape Lookout Studies Program, founder of the Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program and science curator at the NC Maritime Museum. He is also a member of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network and the Atlantic Large Whale Disentanglement Network. He dedicates his time to protecting animals such as whales, dolphins and seabirds from the devastating effects of marine debris. The Monofilament Recovery and Recycling Program collects old fishing line in recycling bins along the coast. There are currently 42 bins across the coast, and volunteers have collected over 2,400 miles of old fishing line through this program. A list of bin locations, as well as stories about the problems marine mammals face when getting caught in fishing line, is available on www.capelookoutstudies.org. Price is a regular volunteer for the federation and can often be found dedicating her time to the federation’s work throughout the central region. She is a regular volunteer at EarthWise Farm, the federation’s community garden. She can also be found putting down oyster bags to create reefs, planting marsh grass or picking up marine debris at the federation’s many volunteer events. Price was a teacher for 10 years in Carteret and Jackson counties. Those who have had the opportunity to attend an oyster reef construction event know the “teacher voice” that she uses when encouraging volunteers who place oyster bags. “As a retired teacher, I knew I wanted to volunteer for an important cause, and the federation appealed to my academic and water loves,” said Price. “The bonus is that all of the staff and volunteers are just super folks who also want to protect the areas we love.” The Pelican Awards highlights the heartwarming and inspiring stories of the year’s best projects and actions in a fun social setting. Additional recipients include: • Carlton Campbell, a pioneer in growing marsh grass in large amounts, won this year’s prestigious lifetime achievement award. Campbell’s work made it possible for the federation and other groups to plan and execute large-scale living shoreline restoration projects. • Jan Harris won a Pelican Award for her advocacy efforts

in Sunset Beach and throughout the coast. • The Program for the Study of Developed Shorelines at Western Carolina University, directed by Rob Young and assisted by Andy Coburn, won an award for its analysis of the economic impact of inlet development and advocate for sustainable coastal development policies. • Paul Kutsko won an award for his volunteer efforts with the northeast office. Even when there are no events on the calendar, he stops by the office to help out. • Aaron McCall, the regional steward for The Nature Conservancy’s office in northeast North Carolina, received his award for his coastal restoration work, both with the conservancy and the federation. • Total Marine Services in Wanchese was instrumental in the federation’s living shoreline work in the Outer Banks. They also won their award for storing and maintaining the federation’s boats. • The General Electric Volunteer Program was recognized for more than a decade of work with the federation. Since 2004, more than 1,000 volunteers have helped build oyster reefs and living shorelines. • The Oak Island Environmental Committee and the Oak Island stormwater monitoring volunteers won a Pelican Award for their work to improve water quality in Oak Island. • Bruce Holsten, the managing director of a strategic management and political consulting firm, won an award for his guidance in helping to prevent Titan America from building a coalfired cement plant in New Castle Hayne. In addition, the federation awarded 31 local governments coast-wide Pelican Awards for passing resolutions against offshore oil drilling or seismic testing. Most of the governments are located on the coast, but a few are based in Orange County. The local governments are: Atlantic Beach, Bald Head Island, Beaufort, Belville, Carolina Beach, Carolina Shores, Carrboro, Caswell Beach, Cedar Point, Chapel Hill, Dare County, Duck, Emerald Isle, Holden Beach, Holly Ridge, Kill Devil Hills, Kure Beach, Manteo, Morehead City, Nags Head, Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Orange County, Southport, St. James, Sunset Beach, Surf City, Swansboro, Topsail Beach, Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. “I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen so many local governments unknowingly band together in one direction like this on nonmonetary or state type of revenue issues,” said Beaufort town manager Charlie Burgess in an interview after the event. “It’s great to be a part of it.” The NC Coastal Federation is a nonprofit membership organization that works to keep the coast of North Carolina a great place to live, work and play. Through a variety of programs and partnerships, the federation provides for clean coastal waters and habitats, advocates to protect the coast and teaches and informs people about the coast and what they can do to protect it. The federation has offices in Ocean, Wanchese and Wrightsville Beach. To learn more, please visit nccoast.org or call 252-393-8185.

AN APPLE A DAY… THE WARMER DAYS and cool nights in North Carolina’s mountain region present the perfect conditions for growing firm, crisp, juicy apples. Commercial apple production in the Southeast is concentrated in the Appalachian mountain regions of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee with more than 10,000 acres in the region located in our home state. According to the NC Dept. of Agriculture, North Carolina typically ranks 7th in apple production in the United States with nearly 8 million bushels of apples produced in a given year. Our state produces some of the greatest quality apples and receives support from a team of research and extension personnel at NC State University’s entomology, plant pathology and horticultural science departments. The focus of the Integrated Fruit Production program is to help ensure the production of safe and high quality fruit, develop and implement modern horticultural and pest management programs and to prepare the industry for anticipated changes in regulatory and marketing programs. Such research and initiatives provide consumers with an excellent color and high sugar content offering exceptional flavor. North Carolina offers four major varieties including: ■ Red Delicious: The most widely planted apple. With its thin bright red skin and mild flavor fine-grained white flesh, this apple is most enjoyed fresh as a snack or in salads. ■ Golden Delicious: Its firm white flesh retains its shape and rich mellow flavor when baked or cooked. The skin is so tender that it typically does not require peeling for most recipes. ■ Rome: The flavor from this variety grows richer when baked and is considered the ultimate baking and cooking apple. The smooth red apple is also great for fresh eating. ■ Stayman: Offers juicy crème-colored to yellowish flesh and a tart-wine flavor. Staymans hold up well in storage and are often used for cider apples. Apple season hits North Carolina during the fall and continues through early winter. Travel to Western North Carolina to enjoy the fresh mountain air, good country fun and farm adventures. Many orchards offer wagon rides through several acres of orchard. To find opportunities to stroll through the states many apple orchards, visit www.ncfarmfresh.com. A few North Carolina favorites include: ■ Apple Hill Orchard and Cider Mill, Morganton: This orchard includes a cider mill, country store, you pick apples, educational tours, group tours and a bakery. ■ Stepp’s Hillcrest Orchard, Hendersonville: Pick your own apples, grapes and pumpkins, children tours and birthdays, country store, farm tours and educational school field trips. ■ Millstone Creek Orchards, Ramseur: Orchard hay rides and tours, nature trail access, tasting tours, antique apple processing equipment demonstration and fresh fruit picking. ■ Skytop Orchard, Flat Rock: Working beehives, animal park, playground, bamboo forest to explore, fresh-made apple cider donuts, school and group tours and hayrides all on its 40 acres of farm. Once you pick your apples, there are a variety of things you can do, from applesauce and apple jelly to a variety of baking recipes, including this Caramel Apple Cake.

1 c. light brown sugar – packed 1 c. granulated sugar 1 ½ c. vegetable oil 3 eggs 3 c. unbleached all-purpose flour 1 tsp baking soda 2 tsp ground cinnamon ½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg ½ tsp salt 5 fresh apples – peeled and diced into ½ inch pieces ¼ c not too finely chopped pecans 2 ¼ tsp vanilla extract Glaze 5 tbsp of unsalted butter ¼ c. granulated sugar ¼ c. light brown sugar ½ c. heavy cream pinch of salt Preheat oven to 325 F. Put the sugars and vegetable oil in a mixing bowl and beat until very well blended. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and gradually add to the sugar and eggs, mixing just until well blended. Stir in the apples, pecans, and vanilla, and pour into a buttered and floured 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven until a skewer or toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 ¼ hours (begin checking after 50 minutes). Remove from the oven, and allow to cool in the pan while you prepare the caramel glaze. To make glaze: Melt the butter in a saucepan, and add both the sugars and the salt. Stir until blended and cook over medium-low heat for two minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, and boil for two minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Use a skewer or toothpick to poke holes all over the top of the cake, and pour the warm glaze over the surface. Serve warm or at room temperature.

KEEP THE DOCT O R A W AY There is so much to the old ada ge, “An apple a day...” Many Americans do not realize how substantiated this statement is or the many benefits our bodies rec eive from the regular consum ption of apples. According to the Inte rnational Apple Institute, app les are rich in pectin, which has been associated with helping reduce the incidence of certain types of heart disease. Pectin and oth er mild acids also help fight bod y toxins, aid digestion and pep up the whole body system. Studie s also indicate that people who eat apples habitually have fewer headaches and additional illn esses associated with nervous tensio n. Other studies have correla ted the regular consumption of apples with a reduction in incidence s of colds and other upper respira tory ailments.

at the AQUARIUM The Virtues of Vultures

Homeschool Day

THE AQUARIUM JOINS the worldwide effort to help the much-maligned vulture with its image problem on International Vulture Awareness Day, Sept. 1. The global vulture defense movement is aimed at heightening awareness of the big birds, their importance to their ecosystems and the troubles they face. Aquarium activities include crafts and programs about vultures, displays about vulture species around the world and encounters with the vultures that live at the aquarium. Black vultures and turkey vultures are popular stars of the free-flight program, Bird’s-Eye View. The show also features other native raptors and shorebirds, and runs twice daily through Sept. 5. Vulture Awareness activities are free with admission or membership.

Homeschool families are invited to the fourth annual Homeschool Day Sept. 15. Crafts, activities and live animal programs relate to this year’s theme of “Conservation at Home.” “We’ll focus on activities and practices that people can do at home, in their backyards, in their communities, to help wildlife and the environment,” said Aquarium Educator Jeff Harms. “The classroom will be open and we will be focusing on different citizen science topics like Frogwatch, sustainable seafood, how to certify your backyard habitat, rain barrels, how to be a conscious consumer.” Behind-the-scenes tours and other special activity programs require fees. Otherwise, aquarium admission and Homeschool Day activities are free for homeschool families. Please bring identification. The day is a special event in addition to the one free admission per year allowed for homeschool families.

40th Anniversary “Conservation Celebrations” This fall the NC Aquariums celebrate their 40th anniversary. On Sept. 17, 1976, three marine resource centers opened along the North Carolina coast. Ten years later, they

were renamed as the NC Aquariums – one on Roanoke Island, one in Pine Knoll Shores, and one at Fort Fisher. Since the beginning, conservation has been a cornerstone of the aquariums’ mission. As a way to celebrate 40 years of conservation education and efforts, the North Carolina Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores will hold a series of 40th Anniversary “Conservation Celebrations” around Carteret County. “We’d like to thank our local community for all of the support they’ve given us over the last 40 years,” said Aquarium Director Hap Fatzinger. “To show our appreciation, we’d like to gather the community together to make the beautiful natural areas of Carteret County even healthier through conservation projects.” All “Conservation Celebration” events are free. Visit the aquarium’s website for details and to register.

This includes making your keepsake placard with the magic words and placing it at the strategic moment. Contact the special events department for packages, prices and other details. Also ask about renting the aquarium for your rehearsal, wedding ceremony and reception.

TURTLE TRACKS visitors ask questions of all our volunteers. One of the most frequent comes up when we use the expression “false crawl.� This occurs when a female nesting turtle crawls up onto the beach, creates distinctive tracks, and then turns around without nesting and crawls back into the ocean. Most of the time our experienced volunteers can tell by first glance because there appears to be no nest site. A nest site is a large round disturbed area of sand created by the nester to bury and then safely cover the nest. Even when there is a nest pit with disturbed sand it is always a challenge to find the exact location of the eggs so that we can insure that the area is marked and protected. It is believed that a false crawl may be the result of disturbance by lights, humans or fireworks, frightening the potential nester back into the ocean. At this writing Emerald Isle has 49 nests. It is an unprecedented number not seen for many years. According to Dr. Matthew Godfrey the numbers are up all over the North Carolina coast. That is an encouraging sign as long as the subsequent hatch rates are also high. After a nest is put in, our volunteers begin to monitor the nest for signs of hatching. Once the hatching takes place, they will excavate the nest and count the eggs shells left behind by the newly emerged turtles. Visitors and volunteers alike are always

amazed that such small and delicate looking creatures have emerged from an egg, dug their way to the surface, crawled to the ocean and still have to swim to the safety of the Sargasso Sea, where food is plentiful and the waters are calm. Our program volunteers asks all visitors to our beach to report any activity seeming to disturb a nesting sea turtle, a sea turtle in distress, an established nest site or emerging hatchlings. Emerald Isle Police Dept. is always ready to respond and assist when called. The number is: 252-354-2021.

KEEPING YOUR

BRAIN FIT

IF YOU FIND YOURSELF WONDERING where you left your glasses – again – or struggling to recall a name or a word you’ve used a million times, you’re not alone. Many people over 40 get frustrated by the occasional “senior moment.” But if you’re worried that your lapses are destined to be a permanent part of old age, take heart. It’s never too late to improve brain function.

The Aging Brain Cognition includes the ability to learn new things, judgment, intuition, language and remembering. As people age, three basic trends begin to affect cognition, and over time they have a noticeable impact on memory, thinking and focus: • Speed: The brain gradually slows down – but the speed of information coming in from the senses doesn’t. Over time, the brain begins to miss details, making it more difficult to react to and remember what was seen or heard. • Accuracy: Like the grooves of an old record, the brain’s neural pathways often get fuzzier, scratchier, or even distorted. When the brain records the static along with the important sensory information, memories are fuzzier and more difficult to process. • Recording: The brain uses chemicals called neuromodulators to determine what information is important to record and process. With each passing decade, the brain produces fewer neuromodulators. This hinders the ability to record new information—in other words, to learn and remember. “At first, people don’t notice problems because they automatically use context to fill in what they missed,” said Michael Merzenich, cofounder and Chief Scientific Officer of Posit Science. “Although this helps in the immediate situation, it doesn’t improve the quality of the memory. As the years pass, the gaps can become too big for context to fill in. When this occurs, it can be hard to catch and respond to the information even at the moment.” 44 ISLAND REVIEW

September 2016

Brain Fitness The good news is that physical brain change occurs every time something new is learned. This continuous physical, chemical and functional process is called brain plasticity. And it can be strengthened, even in an aging brain. “We need to use and develop our brain’s machinery through learning,” said Merzenich. “This doesn’t mean just academic learning. It means practicing targeted activities that engage the senses and our memories, and that involve the production of refined movements. By applying these types of activities, it’s possible to maintain—and possibly restore—cognitive abilities.” Here are some simple exercises you can do to keep your brain fit. • Take a guided tour of a museum or another site of interest. Pay careful attention to what the guide says. When you get home, reconstruct the tour by writing an outline that includes everything you remember. Memory activities that engage all levels of brain operation, such as receiving, remembering and thinking, help to improve the function of the brain. • Choose a song with lyrics you enjoy but don’t have memorized. Listen to the song as many times as necessary to write down all the lyrics. Then learn to sing along. Once you’ve mastered one song, move on to another. Developing better habits of careful listening will help you in your understanding, thinking and remembering. Reconstructing the song requires close, intentional focus and an active memory. In addition to exercises like these, you can take advantage of brain training software, such as the brain fitness programs offered by Posit Science. These scientifically tested programs target the brain’s ability to absorb information from all the senses. “Using a program in which you practice remembering a grocery list may help you get better at remembering grocery lists,” said Merzenich. “But when you exercise the roots of memory, you’ll likely find that not only can you remember grocery lists better, you can also remember conversations, tasks and even that word that is just on the tip of your tongue.” To get more tips and test your own brain fitness, visit www.brainhq. com/.

ATLANTIC BEACH

mayor’s notes Do You Have Your Hurricane Pass? WITH THE HEAT and crowds of the peak summer months behind us, we are heading into my favorite part of the year in Atlantic Beach – the late summer of September and early October. Although this is generally the best time of the year, it can also be the worst – it is the heart of hurricane season. Each year when a storm threatens us, town hall receives a surge of the same questions regarding the closing of bridges and re-entry passes. The same policies and procedures have been in place for years and I’ll recap them below in hopes of answering your questions before the next storm approaches. First, we are often asked when we will “close the bridge.� We never actually close the bridges. Local police or the highway patrol will always let someone off the island during a storm. They may, however, advise you against crossing in high winds or in a high profile vehicle (such as a van or SUV). On the other hand, we do sometimes control access onto the island, but only if an evacuation has been ordered. It is only during the case of an evacuation that you may need a re-entry pass to get back onto the island before the general public is allowed onto the island. If no evacuation has been ordered, you will not need a re-entry pass. The purpose of a re-entry pass system is to control access back into town in the case of significant damage to property on the island. If there is damage to homes and businesses,

Mayor Trace Cooper there is no reason for the general public to be allowed into town. In other words, the purpose of the system is to protect your property. For the system to be effective we need to limit the number of passes that are issued to those who own property or businesses. Our lifetime passes were distributed years ago. If you do not have your passes, please call town hall. Make this call soon. Do not wait for a storm. In the hours leading up to a storm our staff has their hands full preparing the town for a natural disaster, re-entry passes cannot be our top priority. Our passes are lifetime passes; take good care of them. Each replacement pass costs $25. I suggest putting them in your car’s glove compartment and treating them with the same care that you treat your car’s registration. Besides, the pass also serves as a free parking pass for town residents. Re-entry passes will be required only if an evacuation has been ordered. And, in the case of a major storm that causes serious damage, it may be days before we let anyone with re-entry passes onto the island due to dangerous conditions such as downed power lines. Call town hall if you have any questions about the re-entry pass system. And, please, do not wait to make this call until a storm is upon us. In the meantime, enjoy the great late summer weather and hope for a storm-free year.

Charles Webb of Morehead City grinds the edge of the small pool at the mouth of the new Atlantic Beach Skatepark, while little 7-year-old Taj Morgan of Wrightsville Beach takes a dip in the deep end with dad John standing by. The park opened in July much to the delight of the area’s avid skateboarders. Open from 9am-9pm, the park is unattended and skaters are asked to follow all posted rules. Helmets and pads are required and youngsters under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult. Separate hours are set aside for BMX use.

garden gate Strategies for Proper Pruning AS THE LEAVES fall off the trees and greenery thins out for the season, exposing branches and undergrowth along the way, homeowners may be tempted to prune their trees and shrubs. But while autumn pruning may seem like a good idea, many gardening experts say it is often best for homeowners to wait until winter or early spring before pruning. Although pruning does thin out branches and tame spent blooms, which can be eyesores, pruning also stimulates new growth. Pruning in the autumn, when plants are naturally preparing to go dormant, can weaken the plants considerably. This can compromise their chances of surviving into the next growing season. Fall temperatures also can be deceiving. While it may be warm during the day when the sun is shining, temperatures can quickly drop overnight. Pruning during the warmth of day, when the sap has risen in the plants, may deplete energy from the plant. When the mercury drops at night, the plant can suffer. If you must spend time in the yard in the fall, tend to the leaves and debris that have already fallen to the ground rather than focusing energy on fall pruning. If you have been diligent during the spring and summer, your shrubs and other plants likely won’t need pruning at this time of year. Wait until winter before taking out the shears. At this point,

the woody parts of many plants are dormant and will not be harmed or primed to grow by the pruning. Chances are you won’t prune too much as well, as chilly temperatures will keep you from spending too much time outdoors. When it is time to prune, here are a few other pointers. • Keep tools clean and in good working order. You risk injury if your tools are dull and in poor shape overall. Spend time sharpening pruners and keep manual tools oiled and clean. Debris can lodge itself in clippers, making it more difficult to open and shut them. Wash and dry tools after use, especially when dealing with diseased plants. Otherwise you risk spreading disease to healthy plants. • Cut back stems completely. It’s usually a good idea to prune branches back to the main stem. Leaving a portion sticking out can catch on people or animals and produce a gathering spot for bacteria and insects. Take out thinner, smaller shoots first before moving on to any dead or dying branches. • Prune dry branches. Do not prune when plants are wet. Pruning damp plants encourages the growth of microbes that can infiltrate the plant. This is not as significant a problem in the winter, when microbes have already been killed. • Ask an expert. If you are unsure of how and when to prune particular plants, consult with an expert at a nursery or wherever you buy your plants.

mayor’s notes Always Change CERTAINLY YOU’VE HEARD the saying, “Change is the only constant.” There always seems to be something changing as time keeps coming. When we discuss change in Pine Knoll Shores our first concern is the character of our town. When we do see change coming, our first question is, “What’s good for Pine Knoll Shores over the next 10 years?” Sometimes we need to have a vision to be able to look over the horizon 10 years or more. This is often the case with development. What is it, what will it look like, and how will it be in 10 years? This is the case of the property at the corner of Pine Knoll Boulevard and Salter Path Road. The property has been on the market for a while and was owned by First Citizens Bank. Have you heard of, or are you familiar with “cohousing?” Pull your favorite search engine up and look at cohousing. Specifically look at “senior cohousing.” When you read about it, two significant names come up, Charles Durrett and Katie Camant. Chuck and Kate are husband and wife and they are both architects. They have done extensive research and have built several very successful cohousing projects, and have done extensive research in Denmark. If you look closely, it just might make you think that history is repeating itself because extended families have been living together for generations in earlier years in our nation’s history. Of course, today, it’s not uncommon for your parents or kids and your siblings to live on the other

end of the country or the world. Mayor Ken Jones At a recent workshop, I thought, well, I’ll get the information and make some good contacts and go home. When I left the workshop I thought, I could live in a community like this. I got to know Chuck and Kate pretty well, and I had conversations about our potential. Chuck is going to be in our area sometime in September. He asked if I thought we could gather 100 people to learn about the cohousing concept. If you take the time to look at this on the computer, please also take the time to email me with your thoughts. I’m grateful for your comments. Just in case you also didn’t know or remember, and please inform your visitors about the ordinance that separates swimmers and fisherman. Most of this is about common sense and common courtesy. While we have certainly separated these two beach and ocean users, courtesy should be the word of the day when surfing or paddle boarding are mixing with swimmers. Aug. 12 we held our second annual Home Owners’ Association Summit at town hall. First, I want to thank all that participated and shared in our common town’s interest. We had a great turnout and it was very nice to see many of the same faces as last year – that must mean you were re-elected for doing an outstanding job! Without your help we would be missing a key ingredient to our town’s success as a team!

club news PKS Garden Club THE PINE KNOLL Garden Club is honored to announce the dedication of Highway 58 to our military forces. The Blue Star Memorial Highway marker will be dedicated at 10:30am on Wednesday, Nov. 9, at the corner of Hwy 58 and Pine Knoll Boulevard. The dedication of highways to honor veterans began after World War II with a New Jersey garden club creating the first such memorial. Since then, the program has grown nationwide, and now the Pine Knoll Shores Garden Club will be dedicating Highway 58 – Salter Path Road, to our armed forces, past and present. In conjunction, they will be hosting a fundraiser the weekend of Oct. 9 at the town hall. The club does not meet during the summer months, but members continue to tend the town’s six gardens all summer long. Karen Zaenker reports that she has discovered two drought resistant plants-portulaca and diplademia that have done well throughout our intense summer heat in the garden she tends at Mimosa Boulevard. Barbara Yankauskas’ Dogwood Circle garden was plagued with pennywort and a failing timer and water system, but thanks to Sonny Cunningham, Jim Yankauskas, and Don Belanger, the system is up and running again! Lana Hathaway’s gardens at Pine Knoll Boulevard look lovely with beautiful pink and white crepe myrtle, zinnias and lantana, but again, pennywort creates an ongoing weeding problem. The Oakleaf garden at Salter Path Road is full of bright flowers from portulacca, variegated vinca and petunias by the highway to lookout roses, dwarf crepe myrtle, variegated lariope, zinnias, gerbera daisies, and even a banana tree! Needless to say, Martha has spent an inordinate amount of time watering to keep these plants alive during our very hot June and July. The garden at Roosevelt Boulevard tended by Susan King looks beautiful with the bright blooms offset by the pink crepe myrtles, but Susan has had most unwanted visitors while she was tending the garden – black racer snakes! They probably slithered over from the protected Roosevelt Natural Reserve nearby. Our Hereth Garden in front of town hall is tended by Lois Jean O’Keefe and her husband, Paul. Lois Jean reports that the sprinkler system runs for a half hour every weekday to keep the lovely flowers in the bed healthy, but also encourages weeds that even sprout through the thick brown mulch top dressing. The club’s Sept. 14 meeting will be a workshop for the preparation of the Blue Star memorial dedication in November. Guests and visitors are always welcome at meetings, which are held at town hall every second Wednesday of the month. Refreshments are served at 9:30am, followed at 10 by the program of the day.

nity involvement – and a well- run, short business meeting! Personally, I was reluctant to join the Women’s Club when I bought my home in PKS in 1993 – after all, I was only here part time at first, I had my fill of meetings during my career, I didn’t want to be coerced into volunteering for too many volunteer jobs. Once I started attending meetings on a sporadic basis as a guest, I realized that this was an organization that provided meaningful contributions to the community; the members were friendly, intelligent, accomplished and fun. The Pine Knoll Shores Women’s Club provides opportunities to: • Meet new neighbors and connect with old friends; • Participate in providing a scholarship to a deserving female student at Carteret Community College; • Support worthy local charities and community organizations such as the Bogue Banks Library, the Boys & Girls Club, Mile of Hope, Broad Street Clinic, and many others; • Increase personal knowledge through monthly lectures by cultural, medical, community leaders; • Socialize, along with spouses and partners, with other club members through a variety of special events including Supper Club, Cook’s Night Out, the Christmas and installation lunches and other social events; • Join a club-sponsored book club; • Enjoy delicious refreshments at our monthly meetings; • Receive a special benefit – a Members Directory of all club members, over 100 PKS residents – including names, phone numbers, addresses, email addresses, and spouses’ names – worth its weight in gold, or at least worth the membership fee of $20. Please mark your calendars for the first meeting of the new club season on Friday, Sept. 23 at 9:30am at the Pine Knoll Shores Town Hall. Visitors and guests are always welcome. September’s speaker will be PKS resident Peter Makuck, ECU Distinguished Professor Emeritus of English. An award winning poet, short story writer, essayist and critic, Peter will read from his original works. This will be a meeting you won’t want to miss. By Michelle Powers

rental signs September Conversations BY LATE AUGUTST or early September, it’s almost as if our island of Bogue Banks takes a deep sigh of relief as summer days grow shorter and the breezes shift to the northeast, bringing cooler temperatures and fewer visitors to our beaches. Now is when we witness the migrations of homeowners returning to their vacation rental homes for the first time since the busy weeks of June, July and August. Experienced owners of beach cottages have learned to manage their expectations and know when they step through the door, the evidence will be all around them of families that have made the most delightful memories, but who have also left their indelible marks everywhere around the happily lived in property. September on the island is time for homeowners to take inventory of all the normal wear and tear of furnishings and be appreciative of such a robust rental season that saw so many weeks of back to back rentals. If you are the owner of vacation rental property, September is also the time for the vitally important conversations that you should annually have with your vacation rental manager. Marketing for the following year begins now as so many of our rental guests are already planning their family beach trip for the summer of 2017. Websites are being updated and refreshed and the annual glossy vacation rental catalogs are going to press soon. Savvy vacation rental managers know

that even with the most state of the art website and on-line bookings, the catalogs are still the “wish book” of choice and a winning strategy for helping rental guests choose their beach getaway. As part of these strategic conversations with your vacation rental manager, share with them what your focus is for your island home. Do you wish to be very aggressive with your high season rates but are willing to discount if you have a vacant week here or there? Or are you one of the homeowners that wish to be more conservative on pricing to lock in all those summer weeks early? Perhaps you are even very content with open weeks because your mortgage is finally paid off and you love coming at the last minute for a bit of beach fun yourself. Consider each of these scenarios and then share your preference with your property manager when discussing your rental rates for next year. As part of the September marketing review for your vacation rental home, remember this is your opportunity to tell your unique story to your future rental guests. If you plan to refurbish or renovate, do so this fall – don’t wait for next spring – and truly showcase your home with stunning new photographs and descriptions of these enhancements. If you enjoy social media, invite your friends, family and rental guests to share their beloved memories, photographs and videos on your vacation rental manager’s Facebook, Instagram or Twitter feed. September conversations with your favorite property manager are always a smart revenue strategy and will create a truly personal working relationship, too.

September 2016

tourism BAROMETER Fall Fun on the Crystal Coast MOST THINK OF Labor Day, which is always the first Monday in September, as the closing ceremony to the summer months. A new school year is in session and fall is just around the corner, making September the unofficial end of summer. But this doesn’t mean vacationers should put those suitcases back on the shelf! The Crystal Coast continues to grow in popularity as a year round vacation destination. September is especially nice for those who want to save money, beat the crowds and experience the best weather here on the coast. Labor Day may mark the end of the peak season but it’s also when Crystal Coast accommodations drop their overnight rates, allowing visitors to take advantage of significant savings. Our beaches always tend to maintain a “backyard� feel, never getting overly crowded like some of our neighboring beaches but you can still feel an outflow of visitors at the start of the fall shoulder season. During this time of the year, you can surely find your own private oasis if that is the setting you prefer. Another reason so many people love it here this time of year is due to the amazing weather. Temperatures range in the low 80s and the water temps are perfect for swimming, SUP boarding and all water sports in between. It’s a great time to watch glorious sunsets on the beach, climb the Cape Lookout Lighthouse or cast your rod for a day

of relaxing fishing. Catch the season for saltwater fly fishing at Cape Lookout, surf fishing for drum and sea mullet that run along the beach, close-in trolling for King mackerel or Gulf Stream fishing for the migrating marlin and late fall arrival of the blue fin tuna. Some of the Crystal Coast’s best events occur in the fall. Encourage your family and friends to plan a visit and mark their calendars for some of these fun activities: The Crystal Coast Beach Volleyball Classic will take place on Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Atlantic Beach Circle. This benefit tournament will be double elimination and starts at 9am. Music, food, fun in the sun, and sand between your toes! Beaufort’s Brewin’ Craft Beer Festival is Beaufort Wine and Food’s inaugural craft beer festival featuring two days of beer-centric events, focusing on North Carolina’s dominating craft brewing scene. This festival will take place Sept. 23-24 in historic Beaufort. NC Amateurs Sports Cycle NC 8th annual Mountains to Coast Ride is scheduled for a Banner Elk to Atlantic Beach route from Oct. 1-8. This is an experience that will encompass all of the unmatched beauty of NC from the “Mountain to Coast.� The Tuna Run 200, Oct. 21-22, is an amazing, overnight relay adventure in which you and your friends Run 200 Scenic Miles to finish at the beach and enjoy tuna and your beverage of choice after a job well done. Please visit www.crystalcoastnc.org for a full list of specials and events taking place this fall. Karen Gould Dir. Of Digital and Event Marketing Crystal Coast Tourism Authority

ISLAND REVIEW 65

SEPTEMBER ARIES (March 21-April 20) A playful and generous spirit make you a favorite friend to have around, Aries. Many may be clamoring for your attention, and you do not know where to direct it first this month. Exercise patience as you try to resolve a situation mid month. You may have found a solution that works for everyone, but it may take time for others to adjust. Keep in mind that any obstacle can be overcome if you set your mind to it. Your combination of intellect and work ethic will serve you well in the coming weeks. You may soon find yourself on the path to some exciting places if you surround yourself with the right people. This is a great time to break out of your comfort zone.

LEO (July 23-August 23) Leo, a sudden burst of creativity will inspire you and others in the days ahead. Keep up the great work you’re doing, and don’t be afraid to take chances. You manage to attract attention pretty much everywhere you go at the beginning of the month, in spite of your efforts to be as inconspicuous as possible. Chalk it up to your magnetic personality. A family member needs help getting through a tough time. You could be the first person they call on to lend a helping hand. Offer your unconditional support. You may find that little things will catch your attention. A small detail, a note in a song or a particular color may bring back memories. Try to embrace these feelings.

TAURUS (April 21-May 21) Taurus, uncertainty has you wondering about the direction in which your life may be going. It’s a time for reflection. Look to a parent or trusted advisor for guidance. You might find yourself daydreaming, but someone or something unexpected snaps you back to reality. Enjoy this pleasant surprise. If in doubt about something this month, bounce your ideas off of other people and don’t be surprised by the positive feedback you receive. As the month closes, you may be looking for a new adventure but you do not have any idea where to look. Anything is possible if you keep your eyes and ears open to everything around you.

VIRGO (August 24-September 22) You are given to behaving selflessly, Virgo. But this month you can still help others and take your needs into consideration. Ask for help if you need it. You are emotionally charged of late, and that is perfectly fine. It may take a few days for you to begin thinking more with your head than your heart. Put your creative energy to good use midmonth. Think about renovating a portion of your home or discovering a new hobby to keep you busy when things slow down. You may have to put your feelings on the line if you are to gain the respect of someone important to you. Although it may feel uncomfortable, forge ahead.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) Romance may get in the way of logic early this month, Gemini. This is sure to be exciting, but try to maintain your focus. Keep lines of communication with your significant other open. Others interpret your focus this week as single-mindedness, and they aren’t quite sure what to make of it. Do your best to keep colleagues in the loop. Your energy and attentiveness are in abundance this month. Use this combination to tackle tasks you have been putting off. Offer others help if they need a hand. But resist the urge to put limits on your personal life. Anything is possible when you are open to new experiences and opportunities, so don’t be afraid to go with the flow.

LIBRA (September 23-October 23) Libra, resist the urge to overindulge in food or beverages this month. Good times are ahead and you want to be able to enjoy them to the fullest. A friend’s free spirit inspires you in the week ahead. Team up and plan an adventure together, or simply find time to spend with each other. Use this month to tackle a financial project this that has been on your mind for some time. Completing this project will provide some relief. You and a relative or significant other clear a hurdle in your relationship. This may pave the way for a fruitful, happy relationship for years to come.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Cancer, do your best to overhaul your finances. Some recent purchases might have made you vulnerable, and now is a great time to regain control. You are not a fan of instability, which is why you like to plan everything down to the smallest detail. This month you may have to loosen up a little bit. You have an uncanny ability to tune into the way people think, Cancer. You can put this skill to work at the office or use it to network and explore new business ventures for yourself. You may find the energy surrounding you is a bit overwhelming. If you need a brief break from the hustle and bustle, take a step back and enjoy some quiet time at home. 66 ISLAND REVIEW

September 2016

SCORPIO (October 24-November 22) Scorpio, you’re focused on furthering your career, but responsibilities at home must be weighed before making a final decision. Don’t give up; just reevaluate your timing. Many thoughts are swirling around in your head, and this puts you in an introspective mood. Make the most of this reflective period and think about your long-term goals. You have a lot of energy and a desire to do everything to the best of your abilities. This month that approach will serve you well in your professional life. Expect a boost of passion and adventure at the end of the month. Talk to your spouse or partner about the best way to make the most of this renewed vigor.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23-December 21) Rather than dreaming of faraway places, make a plan to travel. Establish a savings account or vacation fund and begin making your travel goals happen. Sagittarius, professional obligations are keeping you close to home and that can be frustrating when you want to wander. Check the calendar to see when you can get away. A request mid-month may require some help to be fulfilled. Trust your instincts and don’t be afraid to seek assistance if you think this requires a team effort. Celestial energy will rejuvenate and reenergize you, Sagittarius. Someone you meet may provide a spark that will benefit you greatly in the days ahead. CAPRICORN (December 22-January 20) Capricorn, gifts might start coming your way and you don’t understand all the generosity. Accept what is offered and recognize that you deserve it. Make the most of your positive attitude and look for fun ways to spend time with friends and family. Engage in some light conversation with others who share your optimism. You may also have a sudden burst of energy at the middle of the month. Apply this to both your personal and professional lives. Bring new people together in your social circle. Inspirational forces are all around you, and they can help you make some tough decisions. Pay special attention to an overheard conversation that offers subtle clues. AQUARIUS (January 21-February 18) It’s easy to expect others to keep your pace when you have all of your ducks in a row, Aquarius, however, not everyone works on the same schedule that you do. Allow time to catch up. A rewarding feeling awaits as you work to solve a challenging problem. The solution won’t come easy, but your hard work will pay off. A new friend is keeping you on your toes these days. Embrace this person’s joie de vivre and go with the flow. You will be glad you let your hair down. Toward the end of the month, a situation presents itself and you may need to act immediately. Don’t delay and trust your instincts. The more quickly you respond, the more smoothly things will go. PISCES (February 19-March 20) Pisces, promising more than you can possibly deliver at this time will not win you any admirers. Others will appreciate your honesty. Others are noticing the excellent work you have been doing. Anticipate a few pats on the back and enjoy the praise. Keep trying to win over someone whose opinion on a particular matter contradicts your own. It just may take a little more persuasion. Expect a few surprises as the month rolls to a close. You can use the diversion, and this unexpected turn may reinvigorate your spirit.
