God only knows that, two weeks out from the presidential election, the stakes are high.

On Sunday, a version of the Beach Boys the touring incarnation of the group led by cofounder Mike Love performed at a last-minute fundraiser for President Trump near Newport Beach in Orange County.

Brian Wilson and Al Jardine, two other founding members of the beloved California band, were less than happy about the news.

We have absolutely nothing to do with the Trump benefit today in Newport Beach. Zero, Wilson and Jardine told Variety through a spokesperson Sunday. We didnt even know about it and were very surprised to read about it in the Los Angeles Times.

The L.A. Times published a story about the fundraiser Sunday, including the detail that Loves touring version of the group would headline the event. The Beach Boys formed in 1961 in Hawthorne, less than an hours drive from Lido Isle, the exclusive man-made island in Newport Beach where Trumps campaign held the fundraiser.

Everyone assumes hes going to go to battleground states. No one really thinks about how Orange County, California, is an ATM machine, Jon Fleischman, a former state GOP official, told The Times Sunday.

In 2016, Orange County shifted blue and voted Democratic in a presidential election for the first time since the Great Depression. Its collective pockets however, remain deep and GOP donors still have a strong presence.

The only reason a presidential candidate should be in California in late October is if the GPS breaks or if he is so desperate for money that he has no choice, political strategist Dan Schnur told The Times. At this stage in the campaign, every hour is precious. The fact that the candidate himself has to raise money in person means their fundraising situation is way beyond dire.

But Sunday wasnt the first time the Wouldnt It Be Nice hitmakers divided over political differences. In February, Wilson and Jardine both signed a Change.org petition urging supporters to Say No to Trophy Hunting!

At the time, the request called for a boycott of Loves group after it secured a headlining spot at the Safari Club International Convention in Reno, where Donald Trump Jr. was the keynote speaker.

This organization supports trophy hunting, which both Al and I are emphatically opposed to, Wilson wrote on Twitter. Theres nothing we can do personally to stop the show, so please join us in signing the petition.

Love holds the legal rights to the name for the touring edition of the Beach Boys, although Wilson and Jardine have plans to tour together too, playing Beach Boys music with guitarist Blondie Chaplin.

I dont have anything negative to say about the president of the USA, Love told Uncut magazine in 2017. We did attend the inauguration. That was a moving experience.

I understand there are so many factions and fractious things going on the chips will fall where they may, Love added. But Donald Trump has never been anything but kind to us. We have known him for many a year. Weve performed at some of his venues at fundraisers and so on.

It will be a foggy start to the week as the marine layer fills in over coastal regions Monday morning.

As the afternoon approaches, most coastal valley regions will see plenty of sunshine but it's possible some coastal regions could stay fairly foggy at least through early afternoon due to weak onshore flow.

Daytime highs at the coast will range from the mid-to-upper 60s with wind speeds below 10 miles per hour. For the coastal valleys, some areas will be warmer than others. Towards Santa Maria Valley, temperatures are expected to peak in the mid-70s, while San Luis Obispo will likely hang on to the low 80s. Inland valleys will remain on the warmer side with daytime highs from the upper 80s to low 90s, but these temperatures will trend down fairly significantly by the weekend when daytime highs drop to the 70s.

A trough will dig into the state Wednesday, which will likely increase the marine layer and allow for an additional one to three degrees of cooling. The cooling trend will continue through the weekend.

Numerous flags supporting the Trump campaign were hung on light posts throughout southern Redondo Beach without the permission of city officials early Saturday, Oct. 17.

American flags, as well a variation of it symbolic of support for the thin blue line of law enforcement, were also displayed along the entire stretch of Esplande, part of Harbor Drive and in the traffic circle at the west end of Torrance Boulevard, said Redondo Beach District 1 Councilman Nils Nehrenheim.

Patrol officers first noticed them at about 4 a.m., followed shortly by multiple reports from residents, Redondo Police Sgt. Mike Snakenborg said.

The flags were hung in violation of municipal code, and public works crews were immediately sent to remove them, Snakenborg said. All of them were taken down by 9 a.m., and there did not appear to be any permanent damage left, Nehrenheim said.

It was not immediately clear who hung the flags.

Somebody did this to get a rise out of people, and they did. suggested Nehrenheim, a registered Libertarian.

Most of the Redondo Beach community is tolerant of diverse opinions, Nehrenheim said. A few people on social media were supportive of the unauthorized display, however, most of those who called officials through the afternoon Saturday voiced disapproval, the councilman said.

There is not a lot of support for the Trump campaign in Redondo Beach, and a lot of people were concerned about public property being used to promote it, Nehrenheim said. Its a huge shock to the community.

The flags were collected by the city, and were held in case their owner would like to retrieve them, Redondo Beach Mayor Bill Brand said on social media. Anyone wishing to pick them up should contact City Manager Joe Hoefgen.

They are available for collection, but be ready to pay the cost for the City to remove them, Brand said.

The incident took place with just 17 days until the Nov. 3 election, and two weeks after a bright red flag bearing the name Trump and the slogan Make America Great Again, was seen hanging from Long Beach Police Departments headquarters. That banner was also raised without permission and taken down one day after photos of it began to circulate on social media.

KURE BEACH, NC (WWAY) A change could be on the horizon when it comes to the roads and just how fast people will be able to drive on Fort Fisher Boulevard.

Kure Beach Town Council plan to approve a resolution that was voted on at their last meeting that will drop the speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph on a section of Fort Fisher Blvd.

Well, it started with some residents who brought it up as a personal safety issue,says Kure Beach Mayor Pro Tem David Heglar. I mean it is really through a neighborhood even though its the main Fort Fisher Boulevard. We had a public hearing, it was actually very close and ended up to be a 3-2 decision that the town was going to request permission from the state to reduce the speed limit.

The proposed speed limit change will run from Alabama Ave. to N Ave. leading into the downtown area.

While the town has voted to change the speed limit, the resolution presented on Monday will have to be approved to be sent to the North Carolina Department of Transportation since it is a state road.

Residents say it is a no brainer to increase overall safety.

I think its a great idea specially with all the golf carts. Most of them cant go over 25 [mph] anyways and so I think it would safer for everyone driving a golf cart and all the kids on bikes. I think its a great idea.

If the speed limit changed is eventually approved by the DOT, Kure Beach will join Carolina Beach as the towns have requested to reduce speeds throughout Pleasure Island.

Any designeror anyone who's hired a designerknows that good interior projects require compromise. There's always a balance between the designer and the homeowner, function and aesthetics, and quite often, the question of finding middle ground between different tastes and needs in one family. This last hurdle is becoming more common than ever as America sees a new resurgence in multigenerational households. Whether it's in-laws moving in, adult children living with their parents, or both, designers across the country are grappling with creating spaces that speak to many generations. That was the case for Rehoboth Beachbased designer Jess Weeth, who was recently tasked with creating a welcoming beach house for not one, not two, but three generations of women.

"We needed to create a house that all three of them would enjoy," Weeth tells House Beautiful of her trio of clients. That meant creating accessible spaces for the grandmother, gathering areas for the adult granddaughter, and a balance between private rooms and open spaces where the family could convene.

Her ability to create a functional, livable space took on renewed importance this past year, when the somewhat quiet Delaware vacation town saw an influx of full-time residentsincluding this family. "Their plan was to spend maybe four months a year there," she says "But now they are living there full-time."

Here's how Weeth created a house the whole family would want to quarantine in.

"I wanted it to feel like you're at the beach but also strike a balance between that barefoot, laid-back look and still having it feel polished," says Weeth. She found that middle ground by incorporating more subtle, tailored nods to coastal decor in natural elements, like rattan and raffia accessories, or the cane-front built-in cabinets in the living room, shown here.

While all three women had distinct styles, Weeth says, what united them was "they absolutely love blue! All shades of blue." So, in the home's shared spaces, "the palette kept things looking cohesive, even with the mix of, say, the more traditional-shaped sofa with the modern-lined coffee table."

Meanwhile, the living room's mix of two sofas, club chairs, and easily-moveable stools make for a flexible setup conducive to solo lounging, family game nights, or any other type of gathering.

In a contrast to the typical white kitchenobsessed client, this trio was open to color in the kitchen, says Weeth. That said, the designer wanted to strike a balance between statement-making and timeless. "It was important to me to find a blue that they were going to love for a long time," Weeth says. "I love bold but some of the things they were suggesting were really blue." She settled on a Sherwin-Williams hue with a grayish undertone for the island, then kept the cabinets white. The drapes, meanwhile, bring in the blue and "bring that color to life."

To add a little bit of the grandmother's glam tastes to an otherwise fairly classic kitchen, Weeth added brass pendants and a gold Schluter edge between the marble tiles to provide the most subtle, shimmery glow of metallic. "It brings out the light and the whole kitchen just kind of glimmers," says the designer.

"If every single piece could have been woven, they probably would have gone for it," quips Weeth of the furniture. "So I tried to strike a balance by bringing in some darker wood tones to make it feel more grounded. A little bit of contrast is important when everything is so light."

"This long, narrow hallway was the entry into the space and they really wanted to make it a dramatic entry," says Weeth. The addition of decorative millwork, lanterns, and large-scale art get the effect.

The youngest client was the most reserved when it came to color, so, Weeth says, "We continued the palette with blues but we went for more muted tones, and made it more about texture," adding a woven headboard and rattan swing.

The mother, meanwhile, "really wanted those light French blues and some cerulean tones," achieved in the wallpaper and headboard here.

"It was really a priority to have the bathrooms be ADA-compliant," says Weeth. That meant incorporating anti-slip elements, grab bars, and wide openingsbut not sacrificing style. "I wanted to make it feel dressy and not like it was a compromise in any way," she emphasizes. "So all of the fixtures, even the grab bars, are a beautiful brass. And then the tile is such a statementthose elements feel a little more like jewelry and not just like a functional component alone."

"It was fun for me to have to look at these specifics," says the designer. "It was a lot less automatic and a lot more planned, down to the last detail."

Thousands Of Trump Supporters Line Streets In Newport Beach To Welcome The President - CBS Los Angeles

Senior Airman Samuel Alexander Frye, Jr., who is stationed at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina, was charged Oct. 15 with accessory after the fact of felony or murder, according to local authorities.

The Myrtle Beach Police Department said the charges stem from an Oct. 12 shooting at Allens Food Market in South Carolina. According to local news outlet WMBF News, two victims Darius Hemingway and Antonio Woods were killed and several others suffered injuries.

Myrtle Beach is about 106 miles east of the base.

Frye joined the service in April 2018 and is assigned to the 20th Equipment Maintenance Squadron based out of Shaw, Air Force Personnel Center officials told Air Force Times. Information was not available regarding personal decorations, but the command said the info may not be complete or up to date.

Its unclear whether Frye is currently in police custody, but WMBF News reports he had a bail hearing on deck for Friday morning. The Myrtle Beach Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The police department said in a Facebook post late Thursday that an investigation into the incident is ongoing.

A short walk to the beach is the benefit of this large home in the Osprey Point waterfront area of Mastic Beach. The other? Despite its proximity to water, it is not in the flood zone as are many other houses in the community. The home is listed for $399,000.

"Its a beautiful home," says Lisa Jaeger, listing agent at Keller Williams. "And its big."

The two-story, five-bedroom, two-bath home, built in 1974, has an updated kitchen, including custom maple cabinets, Corian countertops, and hardwood floors. Each of the bathrooms has also been updated.

The living room has a wood-burning fireplace, and there are Anderson windows throughout.

In the flat, fully fenced quarter-acre yard is a 20-by-10-foot patio with a retractable awning. A detached 1-car garage has both a front and side entrance.

The central air conditioning system, on two zones as is the heat, has a UV-light purification system.

"It kills any bacteria that may be in the AC system," Jaeger says.

The home also comes with a 10-kilowatt Generac generator that can electrify the house when the utility power is out.

The present owners are empty-nesters, and are looking to move to warmer climes, Jaeger says.

The home is within the William Floyd School District boundary. Taxes are $9,300.

For $399,000, five-bedroom Mastic Beach house near the water - Newsday

The red, white and blue vessel was found at a remote area on Apostle Islands National Seashore in Wisconsin with a very intentional message on the bottom.

"I am traveling to the ocean. Please put me back in the water. Will you send information on your whereabouts to: Lakewood School Room 116 & 118 5207 N. Tischer Duluth, MN (scribbled out zip code) 53304," the message reads.

There was no date, and no one knew where it came from until the school did a little digging.

It turns out two teachers, Brenda Schell and Bonnie Fritch, did a lesson on the book "Paddle-to-the-Sea" in 1993 and 1994 and two wooden boats were part of the lesson.

"A friend of Brenda's made the boats for us and our classes painted them and added the message to the bottom. On our end of the year field trip for our Duluth unit we stopped at Brighton Beach to launch the boats."

After almost 27 years, the boat was still in good shape making its way around the lake though, obviously, it's not known where it was the entire time.

"I am not sure what happened to Brenda's boat but mine was spotted a year later up the North Shore. The people put a second coat of varnish on the boat and relaunched it. I thought we wouldn't hear any more about it. Amazing it is still out there," Fritch added.

Lynn BeBeau and her husband were the ones who discovered this little wooden boat while out hiking on the lakeshore across from Eagle Island.

"It was a very fun and unexpected -- extremely -- unexpected discovery," BeBeau told CNN.

"We decided we wanted to go check out this area and my husband sees this red wood sticking out. He goes to pick it up and it's this crazy little boat!"

She said they didn't expect it to be as old as it was. They assume a storm put it on that beach years ago, based on how protected the area is from the elements.

"That little boat took on a journey of its own," BeBeau said.

After taking photos that are on the They released the boat back into the water like the inscription instructed, but the experience left BeBeau with a sense of wonder and greater appreciation for the unknown.

"You just never know what you are going to find, so get out there and explore because there is stuff to be found," she said.

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) Supporting our military members and their families, a military market has popped up in Virginia Beach.

This was the second Military Owned Market event this year.

Its focused on military families, so whether thats a veteran-owned business, a veteran-spouse-owned business, even active-duty family-owned business, said 1701 operations manager Alexandra Craig.

Vendors sell everything from coffee and food, to clothing, cleaning items, beautiful shells and hot sauce.

Its a great way to support so many people in our community of people who often get moved around a lot, who have a hard time establishing a footing in their business and so just as a community, in general, its a good way to support those neighbors, said Craig.

Craig says an event like this was missing in our community.

Were home to so many military families and a lot of those have businesses of their own and there wasnt a platform for them to share so we wanted to create that, she said.

The markets pop up on the third Saturday of every month.

Craig says the next market will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the same spot on Baltic Avenue in Virginia Beach.

ENGLEWOOD State rangers didnt throw precaution to the wind when they flew a purple flag this week at Stump Pass State Beach State Park on Manasota Key.

Color-coded flags indicate beach conditions. A purple flag indicates that sea life may be hazardous to swimmers and beachgoers.

In this case, jellyfish floated too close to shore. Jellyfish generally are carried by currents close to Gulf beaches this time of year. They can wash up on the beach, sometimes in big numbers.

Currently, Gasparilla Island State Park, Cayo Costa State Park and Stump Pass Beach State Park are flying a purple flag, denoting that stinging marine life namely jellyfish may be present in the waters, said Alexandra Kuchta, deputy press secretary for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

It didnt seem to deter beachgoers, who were plentiful at the beach Tuesday.

To greater or lesser degree, Mote Marine Laboratorys daily beach condition reports at visitbeaches.org have cautioned beachgoers when jellyfish drift into shallow waters or wash onto Gulf beaches.

The reports Tuesday indicated a few jellyfish were reported in beaches throughout Sarasota County. However, the county beaches flew green flags, indicating low hazards and calm conditions.

Based on what lifeguards have observed at Sarasota County beaches, there is not a significant number of jellyfish, Sarasota County Emergency Management media relations officer Sara Nealeigh said Tuesday.

If a significant number were to be observed, lifeguards will fly the appropriate flag, Nealeigh said.

No jellyfish were reported a mile north of Stump Pass Beach at Charlotte Countys Englewood Beach either.

The local jellyfish season generally extends from late summer into early fall. Recent reports also tell of jellyfish inundating the waters of Atlantic beaches from Florida to the Carolinas and beyond.

In local waters, the moon jellyfish are common, so are nettle, comb and pink meanie jellyfish. The Atlantic sea nettle jellyfish one of the most common jellyfish species found in the Gulf of Mexico appear periodically in the shoreline waters of local beaches.

All jellyfish can sting from cells, called cnidocytes, on their tentacles that paralyze zooplankton and other prey. The intensity of the sting can vary immensely among the different species. Some stings are never felt.

The levels of discomfort or severity from those stings may vary from person to person. Moon jellyfish stings feel like having hot pepper juices splattered on your skin, while nettle stings feel much like a bee sting that might last 45 minutes to two hours.

If you do get stung, doctors recommend removing the stinger carefully with tweezers and soaking the stung area in hot water.

Beaches along Alabama's Gulf Coast have reopened more than two weeks after Hurricane Sally struck.

Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Dauphin Island and Baldwin County announced that all beaches are reopening after the Sept. 16 storm damaged homes and businesses and sliced the Gulf State Park pier in half. Beaches are open starting at 6 a.m.

The reopening date for popular beach destinations along the Alabama coastline has been pushed afterHurricane Sally"significantly damaged" th

All is not well, however. AL.com reports that "piles of debris are visible on roadways. In Gulf Shores, the West Beach area remains inundated with debris piled up on sidewalks. Tourist attractions remain mostly closed, and only 60% of beach rental units have reopened. Of the 24 hotels in Gulf Shores and Orange Beach, only four are open this weekend. ...

"The only access onto the beaches in Baldwin County is through a private rental agency, if they are open for business. City officials are recommending visitors to contact the condominiums manager to make sure they have reopened and that its safe to visit."

"Now is not the best time to come to the beaches of Gulf Shores, said Grant Brown, recreation and cultural affairs director for the city of Gulf Shores," told AL.com.

Public access points in Orange Beach, Gulf State Park and Gulf Shores remain closed until further notice. The affected access points include Gulf Place, Little Lagoon Pass Park and several others.

The closures are due to safety concerns, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources said. The access points should reopen in mid-October, the department said, but a reopening date for Gulf State Park has not been set and all trails remain closed.

A North Palm Beach mixed-use property hit the market for $44.75 million, amid uncertainty in the office and retail markets.

The 118,000-square-foot complex at 1201 U.S. Highway 1 is on 7.9 acres, according to a press release. Called Crystal Cove Commons and Crystal Tree, the property features 75,000 square feet of ground-floor retail next to a four-story office building.

An affiliate of Black Lion Investment owns the complex, which was built in 1982. The Beverly Hills-based commercial real estate firm is led by Robert Rivani.

Avison Youngs Chris Maling, David Maling, Donald K. DeWoody Jr. and Alfredo Sanchez have the listing, according to the release.

Black Lion bought the complex in 2016 for $14 million, or $120 per square foot, and renovated it two years later. The property, now asking about $379 per square foot, is 90 percent occupied. Tenants include a Tervis store, Cod & Capers Seafood Marketplace and Cafe and the BioMetrix clinic and gym.

Office lease rates are $17 a square foot a year, an online listing shows.

Recent office sales in Palm Beach County include $49.8 million for a Palm Beach Gardens office complex built by Jack Nicklaus development company and $80 million for the DiVosta Tower, also in Palm Beach Gardens.

The sales come despite the strain on the South Florida office market due to employers reliance on remote working amid the pandemic.

In February, Black Lion sold the 6,900-square-foot space on the ground-floor and mezzanine level of the Four Ambassadors building in Miamis Brickell area to a Turkish entertainment company for $1,232 per square foot.

North Palm Beach mixed-use property hits the market for $45M - The Real Deal

After more than six months, some nightlife spots reopened for the first time after Gov. Ron DeSantis OK'd Phase 3 reopening. South Beachs Mynt Lounge was one of them. Miami-Dade County is currently under an 11 p.m. curfew, so nightclubs are operating on condensed hours.

NBC 6 anchor Sheli Muiz spoke to the owner and managing partner of Mynt, Romain Zago.

SHELI: How does that work with an 11 p.m. curfew?

ZAGO: Well, it is still painful. I mean it's better than nothing, though. We'll take anything we can, but every club or lounge has minimum payroll and fees to open. It costs a lot of money to reopen so having a small opening from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. is extremely painful for us. We wanted to respect the 50% capacity, we did, but it wasn't hard. I think the most we had one night, maybe, was reaching 30% capacity. It's hard to come before 10, they don't even go to dinner before 9. Imagine a nightclub.

SHELI: How did the first weekend go? What does it look like now with social distancing?

ZAGO: Well, on the first evening, no one showed up before 9:30 p.m. We were about to cry, so basically people stayed just over an hour. Friday and Saturday, we had a bit more people. We had about 30% far from the 50% we wanted to reach. The social distancing made itself by itself. We don't really need to scare people away. It goes against the philosophy of a nightclub, which is to meet people, so it's a challenge.

SHELI: So does it cost more to stay open for a couple of hours than youre making?

ZAGO: That's a very good question. Im not going to lie to you, we did lose money Thursday, we barely broke even on Friday and Saturday, but at least it generates payroll and we can help employees that need to generate income.

SHELI: Do you get the sense that people are comfortable going into a nightclub?

ZAGO: Oh, you have no idea how much people are begging us to remain open. Begging.I know they were driving to Broward from Miami painfully. People dont care anymore, people want their freedom back. Listen, the difference between us and Disneyland is that whenever you go to a lounge, you dont go back home to grandma or grandpa. You're an adult and you go back home, and you live alone or to your wife, but you're not endangering anybody else. No one over the age of 65 is going to a nightclub. It's completely irrational.

Zago says the lack of Miami nightlife is not only hurting the respective businesses, but the hotel industry and tourism.

ZAGO: If you remove the nightlife, its like removing the hotel life. One depends on the other. Why would you come to Miami if theres not a nightclub to go to at the end of the night?

South Beach Nightclub Owner Talks About Reopening With Condensed Hours - NBC 6 South Florida

Last week, with off-season beach driving open on many of our local beaches, I offered some tips to avoid the inevitable, at least to avoid getting stuck as the result of avoidable errors and bad judgement. I covered Things to now before you go and Going. This week, how about Stopping and options when IT happens.

First of all, don't hit the brakes but let your car coast to a stop. Gravity and friction are your friends in stopping. And when you are going to be stopping, plan ahead. You should choose the time and place to stop, start and turn.

Remember, the next thing you will want to do is GO. Stop on a down slope where possible, Keep gravity on your side. Pick out a down slope with the firmest sand you can find. After you stop, kick out the sand that piles up, especially ahead of the front tires. Know thy tides and watch the time. The beach shrinks quickly on the rising tide from hard sand to soft sand.

But when IT does happen, do not under any circumstance put your pedal to the metal, throwing sand and bottoming out on your undercarriage. Instead, dig out before you bottom out. Move sand away from the tires and smooth out tire ruts. Give yourself enough room to find mo(mentum) again. If going forward fails, try backing out. Sand is flatter where you were than where you are going. And oh, by the way, lower tire pressure now if you haven't already, with 18 to 20 pounds tire pressure giving you way more traction.

Now were getting serious. It may be time to find a good Samaritan 4 x 4 with a tow strap or chain. There are often fellow anglers with appropriate heavy-duty gear willing to pull you out. Pushing helps, but remember, it's bad form to run over the pusher or bury them in sand.

Sometimes, more IT happens! How does changing a flat tire on something not quite unlike grits sound? This is where your wooden board comes into play as support for your car jack. This is not an uncommon problem, especially during hurricane season when nail-laden debris can litter the beach. And make sure you carry a real spare tire, not one of those cartoon donuts. They will not cut it on the beach. As you drive, also be aware of other possible hazards like beach-going bathers, still active turtle nests and those holes in the sand that look like someone dug with their beach backhoe.

When all else fails, its time to call the tow truck. Does your local garage do beach calls ($$$.00)? How about your local bulldozer? Yes, we have seen a bulldozer rescue in recent memoryI have the photos (thanks Bil G.).

Finally, remember the local speed limit is 20 mph. Drive responsibly, or we may lose the privilege. And please let common sense and common courtesy rule. Well, good luck on the beach, and may your tires find only the firmest of sand.

Fall is in the air, and fish are starting to respond.

This past weekend, there was a successful surf fishing tournament out of Freemans Bait and Tackle on the Atlantic Beach causeway. I mention this because from the catches weighed in, we can get a feel for the surf fishing. The tourney was held from the Fort Macon rock jetty to what is left of the pier at the Double Tree (formerly Sheraton) Hotel.

So how did it go?

Best catches were the bluefish, many in the 4- to 5-pound range, and how about sea mullet to 2 pounds? As far as the drum, there were good numbers of slot black drum but a disappointing number of red drum. Best reports of red drum catches? Ocracoke appears in blitz mode. And there are reports of above-slot fish in the White Oak River.

Other incidental tourney catches include scattered spots and croakers, some medium-sized pompano and a decent number of Spanish up to 2 pounds and over.

---------------------

Interestingly, if you go west along Bogue Banks to The Point area of Emerald Isle, the main catches are blues, some big, but not a lot of other fish.

In the area around Bogue Inlet Pier and the main ocean access areas of Emerald Isle, there are scattered spots, sea mullet and pompano, along with the blues.

Another fall visitor is the speedy false albacore, and there are fish from the beach on out to 10 miles. Fish have also been landed from the surf and both Oceanana and Bogue Inlet piers. Speckled trout in the surf remain very scattered.

I mentioned spots, and no, I havent seen the spot yachts stacked up in the Intracoastal yet, but it may not be far away. The fish are moving out of the backwaters into the surf as they ready for spawning season. There are good catches reported in the Morehead City Turning Basin and around Beaufort Inlet and some showing at the piers too. So, soon!

---------------------

As we wait for the surf speckled trout season to get into high gear, the inside catches remain strong.

And did ya hear about the 7.76-pound speck landed from The Haystacks on a topwater Zara Spook? It doesnt get any better that that. Wow!

I checked out the local creeks over the weekend, and but for the rain, would have limited out throwing a Betts Halo Shrimp along the edges of the schools of abundant peanut menhaden. Fish werent big but were still very frisky 15- to 16-inchers.

---------------------

Now for the piers:

Oceanana Pier had a good week, releasing a 25-pound red, along with catches of blues to 4 pounds, Spanish, pompano and scattered spots.

Bogue Inlet Pier had a great king week with nine weighed in up to 32 pounds. Of course, this week is their annual king mackerel tournament. I hope they do as well. There are also big Spanish, blues, slot reds, small pompano and sea mullet, mostly small. And there has been a real bluefish blitz with most fish pushing 5 pounds.

Seaview Pier also reports several kings last week, along with a good spot bite, pompano, mullet red and black drum.

Surf City reports spots, pompano, Spanish and blues, but no kings.

Finally, Jolly Roger Pier reports muddy water, some Spanish, mullet and spots.

---------------------

Offshore, the wahoo bite is back on as you now can get there from here.

There are also mahi and blackfin tuna.

---------------------

It was fun to post a positive report this week. It can only get better.

So be kind, drive the beach safely, catch fish, and enjoy our lovely this fall beaches.

Tips for beach drivers when Stopping and options when IT happens - Carolinacoastonline

It's Fire Prevention Week. This year's campaign theme is Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.

The kitchen is the heart of most homes and as we prepare for the holidays, the Virginia Beach Fire Department has a warning for all families.

Just a moment away from the stove can lead to a race against the clock in the kitchen.

Virginia Beach firefighters demonstrated how that can easily happen in any home during a fire demo on Wednesday. The presentation was part of National Fire Prevention Week. This years campaign theme is Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.

For the first nine months of this year, in Virginia Beach alone, we responded to well over 60 kitchen fires, said Virginia Beach Fire Department Spokesperson Art Kohn.

Kohn said firefighters even responded to a kitchen fire on Wednesday morning.

Unattended cooking is the leading cause for residential fires and the second leading cause for home fire injuries, Kohn said.

Kohn said people should put out smaller fires by first turning off the stove and covering the flames with a metal lid.

Baking soda also does the trick.

Dont try to pick up that pan and move it, Kohn said.

Kohn said a small kitchen fire can create a lot more damage and even turn deadly if people try to throw water on it. He said its the last thing you should do.

Weve all heard the expression its like throwing gasoline on a fire, Kohn said. Well, you see what happens when you throw water on a grease fire.

In a study, the National Fire Prevention Association reported that between 2014 and 2018 U.S. firefighters battled more than 172,000 house fires per year that started in the kitchen. They caused more than 500 deaths and over 4,000 injuries.

They are often relatively small fires contained to the point of origin, yet people are dying in these fires, Kohn said. So, thats why it is important.

Kohn said a golden rule is to never leave the stove unattended.

The things that are common sense are the things that we are most likely to take for granted, Kohn said. Thats why simple stuff like this, we have to keep in mind.

Fire Prevention Week runs through October 10.

Crescent City Council Gets Heated Over Beach Fires, Calls For Revamping 40-year-old Ordinance

###

Instead of agreeing to an updated beach fire law, City Councilors asked staff to gauge property owners opinions on whether or not they should be banned out right.

The updated ordinance, brought to the Crescent City Council on Monday, extended an existing ban to include the area between 6th Street in the north and Battery Point in the south. It removed existing language referring to city-provided fire pits in that area since there are none. The ordinance sets limits on the fires size, where they can be built and prohibits the burning of inorganic material, City Attorney Martha Rice told Councilors.

The ordinance update also makes it a municipal code violation to build and maintain a fire on private property, Rice said.

(Thats) so private property owners do not have to simply rely on trespass for legal requirements, but they can also have a sort of immediate enforcement tool if theres somebody trespassing and building a fire on private property, she said. It also addresses the abandonment of fire. Its unlawful for anyone on private or public property to abandon a beach fire until it has been completely extinguished.

Though staffs goal was to introduce the ordinance Monday and bring it back for the Council to adopt on Oct. 19, Councilors had a different opinion after listening to several conflicting comments from residents living in the area.

Im wondering, given the fact that weve heard from homeowners and given the fact that we can clearly identify property owners within that stretch, if there would be a value to simply doing outreach to each one of those homeowners and getting input other than just in this public forum, Crescent City Mayor Blake Inscore said. I want to get this right once. I dont want to do it and have four more people (speak) at the next meeting as were getting ready to vote on it and have to start the process again. Id rather put it off for two more weeks than introduce it tonight and upend the cart in two weeks.

Some residents, like Roger and Angela Gitlin, Tamera Leighton and Linda Perry supported the changes to the existing ordinance, which was established in 1980.

Leighton told Councilors she supported the changes as a first step, but that shed also favor a complete ban on fires built in the sand in the residential area between Lighthouse Way and 6th Street. She also advocated for clear prominent signs for the public informing them of the rules regarding beach fires.

Other residents, like Natalie Fahning, who cited cases where homeowners in Carmel, California and Newport complained about smoke from blazes that were up to 350 feet away from them.

Map showing area where beach fires outside city-provided rings are prohibited. There are no rings in that area, according to City Manager Eric Wier.

In Crescent City, most fires are set by people staying at nearby vacation rentals, Fahning said.

A 4-by-4 fire is huge, she said. And just 20 feet from vegetation or other combustibles? On an onshore windy day, imagine that blowing toward our houses. Its way too close to nearby homes.

Herman Rinkel, one of six candidates for Crescent City Council this election who lives on Wendell Street near the bluff, said he understands weighing private property owners rights versus those of the general public. But he argued that fires shouldnt be allowed there because of the density of homes in the area and inability for residents to create a defensible space.

Rinkel also asked Councilors to create a definition that details exactly where fires can and cant be and how far away they should be from vegetation.

I think it is still ambiguous as to where a private property owner can build a fire, he said.

According to Crescent City Fire Chief Bill Gillespie, the proposed 20-foot setback between a beach fire and vegetation is tied to wind conditions. He noted that people burning brush on their properties within the county have a clearance requirement of about 10 feet and said 20 feet was considered allowable on a typical summer type evening with not a lot of wind.

Gillespie also pointed out that the North Coast Air Quality Management District sets burning days based on air quality as well as wind. Calfire also sets restrictions on when brush pile burning can take place, Gillespie said.

Even if the ordinance says 20 feet is the distance, if local conditions dont make (a fire) safe, we would have the ability to say, We understand its 20 feet, however youre blowing sparks into the brush and grass. We need to put the fire out, Gillespie told Councilors.

Inscore and his colleagues Jason Greenough and Alex Fallman said they felt the updated beach fire law was a good balance between regulating peoples behavior and allowing for a bit of freedom for private property owners. The proposed new ordinance also gives law enforcement and firefighters the ability to enforce those regulations, Greenough said, though he also argued for better signs.

Mayor Pro Tem Heidi Kime, though she supported restricting the size of the fire as well as what people could burn, continued to be the lone hold-out among her colleagues on a ban between Battery Point and 6th Street.

Kime noted that for those with beachfront property, their boundaries are ambiguous depending on where the high tide line is.

If I walk along the beach, I could suddenly find myself walking along private property at some point, she said. Am I now no longer going to have that beach access? I wonder. Thats where we start regulating our beaches up here and taking away the wonderful wholesome family fun, the hot dogs and marshmallows that all of us responsible individuals enjoy.

Kime said there should be repercussions against those who burn mattresses, trash and other gross disgusting materials.

Theyre ecoterrorists and they should be dealt with in such a way that if you are dumping garbage on the beach and burning garbage on the beach, there needs to be repercussions for that, she said. The repercussion is not to ban bonfires for wholesome family fun. I cant get behind this.

Crescent City Manager Eric Wier told Councilors that staff could reach out to property owners along that stretch of bluff, including the owners of Oceanfront Lodge at 100 A Street.

Inscore noted that if the requested additional information means the beach fires ordinanced wont be formally introduced until the first meeting in November, a new City Council may vote on the final outcome.

Kime, who is not seeking re-election to the City Council in November, agreed to this.

I dont want to be part of a Council that bans bonfires, she said.

Vero Beach City Hall(Photo: SAM WOLFE/TCPALM)

VERO BEACH Nearly 200 new housing units could be built here after the City Council Tuesday approved annexing land along Indian River Boulevard.

Schwerin Asset Advisors of Vero Beach had asked the city to annex the 24 acres, at the southeast corner of Indian River Boulevard near 41st Street. The council voted unanimously for the annexation and set a final adoption hearing for Nov.17.

City zoning rules would allow construction of up to 10 units per acre, butSchwerin Asset Advisors said it would limit development to the eight units per acre currently allowed by the county zoning code.

However, because of the lands proximity to the Indian River Lagoon, Vice Mayor Laura Moss questioned why it is not considered environmentally sensitive.

As you can see, eventually everything that can be developed will be developed, said Moss. And when you have development, it has impact, and it is environmentally sensitive since it isso close to the lagoon.

The land is located near other multi-use properties along Indian River Boulevard,according toCommunity Development Director Jason Jeffries.It is bordered on the east by conservation land owned by the Indian River Land Trust; onthe north by aresidential community; and on the west by land under development for apartments.

More: Post-pandemic plan unveiled for Three Corners development

A traffic study commissioned by developers found the property has the potential for 189 multi-family units such as townhomes.

Those additional homes would create 1,028 additional vehicle trips per day, well within the road's capacity, the study found.

City Manager Monte Falls said it makes sense for property owners to seek annexation into the city.

"Id like to think everybody would like to annex into the city of Vero Beach because of the service they get from us and the personal attention, said Falls. "We have a great law-enforcement group, and I think they get personal attention here at all times.

Venice woman missing since Sept. 30

Kimberly Kuizon reports

VENICE, Fla. - Venice police are asking for the publics help finding Tracey Lynn Rieker, 44, who left her home Wednesday, September 30, and hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Tracey is described as apetite 5-foot-4, 120-pound woman, and has blonde hair and brown eyes, with a heart tattooed on her ring finger.

A wife and mother of four,Tracey's disappearance weighs heavily on her loved ones.

"This is completely opposite of who Tracey is.Its alarming," said Tracey's husband, Christian Rieker. "She was having trouble sleeping and wasnt eating a whole lot."

Christian said he last saw his wife Sept. 30 around 3 a.m. at their home in Venice. He said when he woke up that morning, her cell phone and wallet were left behind. Tracey and her car were gone.

Tracey and Christian Rieker

Christian said his wife had been focused on religion and talking to others about God, especially amid the pandemic.

"She was so concerned about COVID [that]she wouldnt go anywhere, but the importance of her message has kind of freed her of that fear, I think," he said.

Christian said the day before Tracey left, she was spreading her message at Bradenton Beach.

"I really think she was just going to talk about God. I dont know if she meant it to be an extended leave," he said.

Venice police, along with her friends and family, are searching for Tracey. A Facebook page created to help her now has more than 1,000followers.

"I'm absolutely worried that someone would take advantage of her kindness and her free spirit and shes just out there just trying to help people and deliver a message she thinks is more important than anything else," said Christian.

Groups of Tracey's friends and strangers are searching beaches, parks, and areas Tracey was known to visit. Christian said he just wants to find Tracey and bring her home.

"Tracey, we need you home, we just want to know youre OK. More than anything tell us what your plan is, we will support whatever you are trying to get done. We just want to let you know we love you," he said.

Venice police say she has been frequenting area beaches to talk with people about God. They say she visited Lido Beach and Bradenton Beach on Sept. 28. She is also known to visit the North Port area.

Tracey drives a green Nissan Xterra with Florida tag PO8116. She has a heart tattoo on her ring finger.

Anyone with information on her whereabouts is asked to contact the Venice Police Department at 941-486-2444.
