Front St. Downtown Swansboro 910-326-1953 Tideland News, January 6, 2016, Swansboro, N.C..–3C Getting you there Itʼs a new year. What adventures will it bring? Where will you travel throughout the world? Will it be for business … or pleasure … or both? Wherever you plan to go in 2016, plan on the newly remodeled Albert J. Ellis Airport to help get you there. “Little details make a big difference,” Albert J. Ellis Airport General Manager Chris White is quick to point out. “Our airport is close by. Our airfares are competitive. And, our smaller-sized airport is easy to navigate.” According to White, the Albert J. Ellis Airport opened on Valentinesʼ Day 1971. Since then, the airport has expanded six times (most recently in the late-1980s) before the current expansion, which began in 2013. This $48 million Terminal Area Redevelopment Program has expanded passenger areas, added space for additional airlines and concession areas –––––––– and replaced the Spotlight passenger termi- –––––––– nal building with a two-story, 67,000-square-foot terminal, complete with passenger loading bridges. (No more battling the elements on your way to your plane!) “The Albert J. Ellis Airport is the ʻfront doorʼ to Onslow County and our North Carolina beaches,” White noted. “Actually, weʼre not just a county airport, weʼre a regional airport. Obviously, we have a large number of military flying out of our airport, but we also have a high percentage of tourist travel, sometimes up to 50 percent.” And Albert J. Ellis Airport is self-sufficient, White emphasized. In other words, taxpayers are not left with the bills. Most of the cost of this recent expansion has been covered by grants. “This has been a huge infrastructure (improvement) with very low costs, and we didnʼt receive any local tax dollars,” White explained. “That includes the debt service. The airport paid that back. We borrow the money … we pay it back.” So, as of 2012, the airport supports 340 jobs. And the annual local impact of the airport is $192 million per year. It also generates $3.5 million in local taxes per year. “In other words, we put back a lot more than we take,” White summarized. White encourages all air travelers to remember Albert J. Ellis as their first option when planning a trip. “Flying with us helps the airport sustain itself and keeps those 340 jobs for the locals,” White said. “Itʼs important to spend our dollars locally, and that includes our airport. Buy local, fly local. And itʼs more convenient for the flyer. We have lots of parking and 10-15 flights daily to Charlotte and At- lanta.” Through these two airports, travelers are connected to almost anywhere in the world. Using another airport, such as Raleigh, to save money often doesnʼt add up to the savings a traveler thinks he/she is getting, according to White. “You have to factor in the travel time on the road to and from the airport,” he said. “Thatʼs 10 hours total of travel time, plus the gas for your vehicle. Plus, depending on when your flight leaves, you may have to pay for a hotel room the night before.” And, by educating the public to use the local airport, Albert J. Ellis Airport will be more likely to get direct flights as flight travel increases.

Facilities are also available for pilots to rest between flights. “This gives all the folks flying into our area a good first impression of our area,” he added. Concessions are currently available in the main terminal, but White is looking for possible franchises to increase the choices for travelers waiting for flights. Albert J. Ellis Airport is at 264 Albert J. Ellis Airport Road in Richlands. For more information, call (910) 324-1100 or visit on www.flyoaj.com. Transferring a prescription is easy!

Moore Orthopedics offers full spectrum of service The coastal way of life is an active way of life. There are so many great things to do … and so many beautiful days all yearround to do them! Who has time to deal with pain? We all know that pain is the human bodyʼs way of telling you that something is wrong. But that doesnʼt mean that pain has to be a part of your daily routine. If itʼs time for you to be more proactive with your health, then itʼs time for you to visit Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. Whether you are suffering from a recent accident or fighting a fulltime daily war with arthritis, the professional and well-trained staff of Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, one of the new and very convenient medical offices in East Coast Square-West, Cedar Point, will strive to improve your quality of life. “We were familiar with this area because I did my undergraduate at Duke and we really liked the climate here,” Dr. Jeffrey Moore noted. “This seemed to be an ideal place to live and raise a family.” So, in 1988, Dr. Moore moved to Morehead City and opened his first practice. In 2014, he expanded his practice by opening an office in Cedar Pointʼs newest medical building, teaming up with Dr. John Spellman, also an orthopedic surgeon. Similar to Dr. Moore, Dr. Spellman and his wife fell in love with the Swansboro areaʼs mild weather and coastal charm. (No more freezing cold Wisconsin winters for them, thank you very much!) “We have the same spectrum of services as we do in our main office in Morehead, just on a smaller scale,” Dr. Moore ex- plained. “And we have treated a wide range of patients, from newborns to the elderly. People of all ages can suffer from orthopedic prob–––––––– lems.” So, what exSpotlight actly can Moore –––––––– Orthopedics and Sports Medicine do to ease your aches and pains? “There are many people who donʼt understand exactly what is involved with orthopedics and sports medicine,” Dr. Moore noted. By definition, orthopedics deals with muscular and skeletal problems, whether they are short- or long-term problems. But these days, the field of orthopedics has broadened to include sports medicine (Dr. Spellmanʼs specialty) and a wide variety of minimally invasive surgical technologies, such as arthroscopy and robotics. “For example, here we can focus on non-operative care of the shoulder, knee, hip, hand, spine, etc.,” Dr. Moore clarified. “There are lots of things we can do short of surgery that are very helpful. In fact, about 80 percent of what we offer is nonoperative solutions. “When I trained, basically everyone was a general orthopedist,” he continued. “These days, everyone has a sub-specialty, like sports medicine or adult reconstruction.” Most problems can be treated without surgery, using such tools as physical and occupational therapy. Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine of Cedar Point has an extensive physical therapy program, including two fulltime physical therapists on staff. Donʼt let the title “Sports Medicine” fool you.

Sports medicine can cover a wide variety of injuries and chronic problems. Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine has one focus … to get the patient back to the activities he or she wants to do. “Our philosophy is to begin on the conservative side,” Dr. Moore stated. “If that doesnʼt work, we move on to a progressively more aggressive approach until we get the desired result.” Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine also offers MRI services, yet another convenience that keeps patients from driving to Jacksonville, Morehead City or New Bern for this essential test. Ultimately, to live a healthy life, Dr. Moore recommends that patients get an early diagnosis and be an active partner with the doctor during the healing process. Ask questions! Also, stay as active as possible and get plenty of rest. And always try to maintain a good range of motion of all your joints and spine. Moore Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is at 1165-M Cedar Point Blvd. (Hwy. 24) in Cedar Point. Office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call (252) 808-3100 or visit www. mooresportsmed.com.

Being your own boss has certain perks, including making your own hours and not having to report to anyone but yourself. But owning a business is a lot of work, especially for new business owners trying to get their businesses off the ground. According to Bloomberg, 8 out of 10 entrepreneurs who start businesses fail within 18 months of opening their doors. The Small Business Association indicates the numbers are not so dire, saying 30 percent of new businesses fail in the first two years of operation; 50 percent during the first five years; and 66 percent during the first 10. Either way, local businesses face an uphill battle to survive. But there are many things residents can do to support these valuable additions to their communities. Consider … Shop locally Shopping locally not only supports local businesses, but it also contributes to the local economy. Shopping locally keeps money in the community, which can benefit everyone. –––––––– President’s Message By Darryl Marsh –––––––– Shopping locally produces a trickle-down effect, as local businesses that are thriving may patronize other local businesses, and so on. This, in turn, helps grow other businesses in the community, making it a nicer place to live and work. Spread the word Word-of-mouth advertising is effective. A respected member of the community who shares a good experience with a local business may encourage others to patronize the business. Speak up when you feel a business owner has provided an exceptional level of service. Recommend a company to friends and neighbors. You also may want to review a business via online rating websites. Attend grand openings Each community is unique, and often the vibe of a community is defined by the businesses that call that community home. Attend grand openings to show you are invested in the quality and vitality of your community. When others see a business doing well, they may be more inclined to shop there as well. Apply for work Another way to support a local business is to work for one. Small local businesses employ millions of people across the country, and many foster great working environments. In addition, small businesses are known for their customer service, and employees often become experts in their products and services because of the hands-on experience they gain while working for small businesses. Supporting and celebrating local businesses can instill a sense of community pride and benefit the local economy in a myriad of ways. ––– I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy new year. 8C–Tideland News, January 6, 2016, Swansboro, N.C.

Hampton Inn and Suites hosts veterans dinner Holiday cheer was in full force for the Swansboro-area veterans who attended a holiday dinner sponsored by the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerceʼs Military Affairs Committee Dec. 10. Dinner was served at the Hampton Inn and Suites. More than 90 guests were treated to a delicious holiday meal served by members of the MAC, which included Sgt. Maj. Paul Berry, sergeant major of Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, Dr. Beth Barton, Dr. Tina Siegel, Clayton Cottle, Paula Webb, Tim Webb, Ashley Adamovage, Fred Schachter and Kelley Brown. Many past attendees joined us, along with quite a few new faces. It was nice seeing everyone so involved in conversation and enjoying one anotherʼs company. The Swansboro MAC and the Hampton Inn and Suites look forward to seeing our area veterans again next year. And, thank you for your service!
