Witte does this unselfishly, without question and without monetary compensation. His motive is simple: He is preparing the next generation of Americans to carry the torch of honor, courage and integrity that heʼs helped to keep lit through his service as a U.S. Marine. Latisha Jones, business development manager for Marine Federal Credit Union, was named Ambassador of the Year. Jones has been an ambassador for the chamber for two years, serving as a catalyst between the chamber, its functions, its staff, members and the general public, to promote and develop new membership and help to create an acceptable atmosphere in which businesses can effectively network. She was recently elected to serve on the chamberʼs board of directors. Husband-and-wife Rick and Kristi Welton were honored. Mrs. Welton received the SACC Presidentʼs Volunteer of the Year award. Mrs. Welton has generously given much of her time toward the success of the Swansboro Area Development Foundation. She assists with fundraising endeavors that are used to improve the quality of life for residents of the Swansboro area through development of comprehensive projects and services. Latisha Jones and President Chris Kollar. After serving on the SADFʼs board of directors for several years, Mrs. Welton took on another challenge as their chairperson of the Swansboro Area Youth Development Foundation. This was established in the spring of 2010 as a subsidiary of the Swansboro Area Development Foundation for the purpose of involving area teenagers in local government, event planning, community development and improvement, and to teach them the importance of volunteerism and civic responsibility. For the past four years Mrs. Welton has led a dynamic group of young adults from this area that attend Swansboro and Croatan high schools. They host four events annually as fundraising efforts on behalf of the SADF, raising more than $1,000 each year to be donated to area nonprofit organizations such as animal shelters, womenʼs groups and the town of Swansboro Parks and Recreation Center. The impact she has made on these young adults, without question, has changed lives. The chamberʼs 2015 Woman of the Year honors went to Angie Cooper, co-president of the Seaside Arts Council and account executive representing Fairway Outdoor Advertising for the past 25 years. Cooper is a leader in bringing more arts and culture to the area and is a force behind SwanFest and the Emerald Fest summer concert series, which has drawn music lovers to our (See EVENT, page 3C) Angie Cooper and President Chris Kollar.

My husband, Greg, and I have raised our girls here and we love it. Making music is something that just comes natural to me and I wouldnʼt be me if I werenʼt singing somewhere in the area,” Cooper said. Capt. Richard C. “Rick” Welton, USN (Ret.) was named the Chamberʼs Man of the Year. Welton dedicated 38 years of service to his country, serving in two branches of our nationʼs military, Army and Navy. This dedication instilled in him the qualities of leadership, spirit of community, working together to reach a common goal and a commitment to achieve excellence and knowledge. We were certainly blessed upon his retirement as the CO of the Naval Hospital aboard Camp Lejeune, when he decided Swansboro would be where he retired and made a home for his family. When you look at the community that we are a part of, as well as the business leaders and individuals that we all are, it is Dr. Rick Welton, left, and his wife Kristi Welton, right, with President Chris Kollar. quite an honor to be a representation of that. Welton embraces that, and strives by going above and beyond helping to make sure the chamber and its endeavors are executed to the best of their ability. Welton serves on the chamberʼs Military Affairs Committee as a member, served as chairman and past chairman, co-chairman of the Governmental Affairs Committee, and heʼll serve on the chamberʼs Board of Directorʼs for 2015-18.

Undaunted by starting a new business in a region they had visited for nearly three decades, with their idea to semi-retire within three years, instead they leaped into the next chapter of their life at a time when many Dave Grothaus, left, and Beryl Packer, right, with President Chris Kollar. of their contemporaries were gearing down and counting the months when they could tap into their retirement, Packer and Grothaus pursued their dream and moved to the area in November 2012. They opened for business in 2013 with two vehicles and two employees, Soon they were hiring a staff, now with 17 associates, and purchasing more company cars. The fleet has risen to eight cars and they have become personally involved in numerous civic endeavors and are sponsors of scholastic sports, civic and cultural events for the community to enjoy.

Controlling a pest Living in coastal North Carolina, we all know that a delightful summer evening can quickly turn into a feeding frenzy for mosquitoes, causing us to slap, smack and swat until we eventually give up and head inside. But thereʼs good news. Mosquito Authority can make your backyards worth mowing and front porches worth swinging on again. We all love spending quality time with our family and friends for picnics, pool parties, barbeques and bonfires. Who wants a summer spent slathered with insect repellent, hovered next to citronella torches or worst of all, indoors? Thatʼs not anyoneʼs idea of a good time. Mosquito Authority doesnʼt just kill mosquitoes: Theyʼre the industryʼsʼ leader in mosquito control. Their proprietary REPEL+PLUS mosquito treatment utilizes integrated mosquito management to break the mosquito lifecycle and prevent the disease-carrying pests from making your yard their breeding ground. Joseph Riggs, owner of the local franchise, along with his expertly trained staff of professionals, hold the highest standards and are certified in all areas of the business, from mosquito biology and proper protocol to customer satisfaction and communication. As explained by Riggs, there are four steps Mosquito Authority take to effectively control your home/propertyʼs mosquito population. First, they must identity the mosquito type located on your property. Then they identify the areas of standing water where –––––––– mosquitoes lay their eggs (such Spotlight as an upside –––––––– down Frisbee or old tire) and remove them. Then they treat mosquito larvae to keep them from developing into adults. Finally, they use a milder-than-DEET solution to trees, shrubs and foliage around your home to kill adult mosquitoes on contact and keep them away. Riggs stated that our area, for the most part, deals with two types of mosquitoes: Asian tiger and marsh mosquitoes. The Asian tiger mosquito is an aggressive, daytime biter and typically bites from the waist down. Marsh mosquitoes are also aggressive, but they typically bite in the evenings. Did you know? Itʼs the female mosquito that does all of the biting, and she does so in order to fertilize her eggs and retain the nutrients she needs to reproduce. The male mosquito feeds off of plant nectar alone. Mosquito Authority will come treat your property for as little as $69 per treatment. Each treatment lasts approximately three weeks. They also have a full-season treatment plan that consists of 10 applications, beginning in April and ending in October. Because Mosquito Authority knows youʼll love their service and never want to go without it once you try it, theyʼll never ask you to make a commitment or sign a contract. You can cancel at any time by letting them know before they come out to treat. They also offer special treatments for outdoor events. From outdoor weddings and community events to backyard birthdays and family gatherings, mosquitoes donʼt have to be on the guest list! Call The Mosquito Authority at least 48 hours prior to your event, and theyʼll treat your outdoor event space. Another option for continuous mosquito control is a misting system, which sprays a very fine mist of botanical insecticide through a nozzle circuit that is installed on your property. The system virtually disappears into your landscape and works to keep you mosquito-free – automatically or on demand – all season long. Water with organic material make ideal mosquito breeding grounds. “If our customers are happy, that means weʼre doing it right! Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we 100 percent guarantee it! If you are ever bothered by mosquitoes between treatments all you have to do is call.

Luis Robles, owner of Main St. Studios in downtown Swansboro, has been perfecting his craft since the 1970s. In his early teens Robles attended a photography class where he learned the basics of how to effectively take subject photos, edit and develop the film, etc. And, even at such a young age, Robles participated in art shows displaying and selling his work. After serving his country as a U.S. Marine and working in several different professions throughout the years, it was his passion for the arts and theater background that lead him to follow his dream. “Iʼve found my true niche in life. Itʼs amazing having been able to turn a beloved hobby into a career. Iʼm looking forward to my second stage of life,” he stated. Photo restoration is one of the services provided by Main St. Studios.

Record crowd at MAD A record crowd gathered this year to attend the 13th annual Military Appreciation Day, a joint effort of the Swansboro Area Chamber of Commerceʼs Military Affairs Committee and Hammocks Beach State Park. On Saturday, June 6, at Hammocks Beach State Park, all branches of the military (active duty, retired personnel, veterans and their families) were treated to a day of food, ferry rides and fun for all ages. According to Park Superintendent Paul Donnelly, more than 4,300 attended this yearʼs event. Activities included games, blow-up slides and air houses, and T-shirt painting for the kids. Family-friendly entertainment was scheduled all day. Adults were treated to a wide variety of educational booths, featuring information on community and veteran services. More than 750 attendees opted for the free ferry ride to Bear Island, with the Lady Swan tour boat of Swansboro lending a hand to the parkʼs ferries. And there was plenty to eat, all free. Hot dogs, pizza, chips, drinks, popcorn, snow cones and watermelon slices were kept fresh and ready all day to feed the hungry crowd.
