rates According to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) the town of Kure Beach isn’t fulfilling the Army Corps’s beach renourishment requirements The city has the required number of parking spaces but the USACE is flagging Kure Beach for not offering parking on equal terms The town of Kure Beach renourishment project is suspended- at least for now- due to a failure to meet the U.S Army Corps of Engineers beach renourishment requirements A letter from Mayor Allen Oliver shows that the town is not in compliance with guidelines resulting in the suspension of the project The issue revolves around the town’s paid parking spaces The USACE confirmed that Kure Beach has the required number of parking spaces the corps’ says the town is not offering parking on equal terms Residents are facing higher parking rates now “The fact that residents pay taxes and live here regularly and fund the infrastructure that the tourists take advantage of “I don’t think the town has a choice and we will have to live with it this year.” The responsibilities for Kure Beach are to maintain 443 parking spaces open and available to all on equal terms The town is selling both resident and non-resident parking passes with permits for outsiders being priced higher “We sold a resident and non-resident pass which was substantially more for non-residents Our logic was that non-residents don’t pay taxes,” Mayor Allen Oliver said the different pricing reflects the fact that non-residents do not contribute to local taxes but still benefit from public services We have not gone up since we started four years ago,” Mayor Oliver said The parking season runs from March until September 30th seasonal permits will be $100 between February 3rd and March 14th just over 11 times more than the original cost The proposed parking fee schedule is only a draft Mayor Oliver says the board will vote on it in the town meeting scheduled for December In February 2025, the Yamato Museum (Kure Maritime History and Science Museum) in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture The museum conveys both the hidden stories behind the construction of the famed battleship Yamato — once called the largest battleship in history — and the value of peace As one of Japan's leading facilities for learning about the former Imperial Navy's history and technological capabilities 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II Although the local community understands the need for renovation Alternative facilities are being used to fill the gap Whether they can truly make up for the loss remains to be seen the opening day of the Yamato Museum Satellite Niihara urged people to explore the charm of this historic naval port through related attractions while the main museum is closed The Yamato Museum opened in 2005 to commemorate 60 years since the end of the war It presents Kure as a city of shipbuilding and introduces the technologies used to construct the battleship Yamato.  With a 1:10 scale model of the Yamato as its centerpiece the museum welcomed an astounding 1.6 million visitors in its first year — far surpassing its goal of 400,000 it had hosted around 16 million visitors from Japan and abroad These are remarkable figures for a regional city there were issues with the visitor experience the air-conditioning system was due for replacement the city decided to embark on a major renovation aiming to reduce congestion and switch to LED lighting the goal was to reopen in time for the museum's 20th anniversary and the 80th anniversary of the Yamato's sinking "delays in procuring materials and the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted those plans." Once the museum reopens at the end of fiscal year 2025 it will feature enhanced displays using digital technology the Yamato Museum is the city's star attraction There are legitimate concerns that a drop in visitors during the closure could negatively affect the local economy the city is placing its hopes on the new satellite facility The main attraction is a full-scale model of the Zero Observation Plane the aircraft was developed for artillery spotting and was installed aboard the Yamato A 1:100 scale model of the battleship has also been moved here for display Digital panels introduce other vessels constructed at the Kure Naval Arsenal "The Zero Observation Plane was a vital component of the Yamato's gunnery system," says Kazushige Todaka The Yamato had a firing range of over 40,000 meters But range alone wasn't enough — accuracy was everything And that depended on the information gathered by the observation planes a line of visitors had already formed before it opened its doors "It's rare to see one displayed as if floating on water." Pre-opening publicity may have helped the strong turnout The Houhaikan, a tourist facility that opened in 2018, is housed in a brick warehouse built by the Navy during the late Meiji era It stands across from a city park where visitors can view submarines up close the Houhaikan is serving as a temporary exhibition space It features a 1:50 scale model of the Yamato's 46-cm main gun turret and a 1:10 model of a machine gun Other must-see sites include the Irifuneyama Memorial Museum built around the former Kure Naval District Commander's Residence (designated an Important Cultural Property in 1998) The latter features Japan's first submarine to be displayed on land With vivid exhibits and displays on mine-clearing missions it remains popular — on par with the Yamato Museum "I was able to explore the inside of the submarine Akishio in detail," said one visitor during the closure but we want to turn Kure tourism's pinch into an opportunity." Kure is a core city in Hiroshima Prefecture It lies near the center of the Seto Inland Sea and boasts a naturally deep and well-protected harbor it became home to the Kure Naval District of the former Imperial Navy Kure is one of the "Four Former Naval Port Cities." In 2016 these cities were recognized as a Japan Heritage site for offering "a living experience of Japan's modernization."

HUNTING FOR SAND: Why Oak Island is looking 18 miles off its coast for sand to nourish its eroded beach With prices coming in well above predictions some Cape Fear-area beach towns are having to adapt and make painful decisions the periodic federal nourishment of Carolina and Kure beaches is one that has fallen victim to the financial headwinds The Pleasure Island project had an estimated cost of just under $20 million But the only bid for the work the Army Corps of Engineers received came in at $37.5 million In a letter to residents Kure Beach Mayor Allen Oliver said the price differential was just too much to overcome this winter "Getting additional bidders are slim and since the price was double the estimated project cost the best possible solution is to postpone the event until next year," the mayor said "We should get better pricing and more bidders participating." The delay means the two New Hanover beach towns will have to go longer than expected without a fresh injection of sand − a worry for officials and residents in a world where climate change is increasingly fueling stronger and bigger tropical storm systems "This is not the most favorable situation for us and Carolina Beach but honestly it is the most logical decision based on the lack of bidders and the cost of the single bid received," Oliver said Oak Island also is feeling the pain of higher prices and not enough competition The project is estimated to cost at least $40 million with half of that covered by a one-time state grant Bids for the same work to take place during the 2025-26 dredging window came closer to the town's budget and Oak Island officials are now in negotiations to see if the work can get done between mid-November and late April 2026 the project will be rebid in 2025," the town stated online Now officials and residents have to hope the beach can hold out until then which raked the Brunswick County shoreline nearly five years ago king tides and gradual sea-level rise has since then added to the pain − not to mention the no-name storm and the remnants of Tropical Storm Helene that hit Brunswick County last September and October Big beach projects aren't the only ones getting caught up in the financial squeeze A project put out to bid by the corps of engineers to dredge the shipping channel near the mouth of the Cape Fear River this winter and place the sand on Oak Island and Caswell Beach also came in 20% over estimates At least one beach town in the Wilmington area will be seeing new sand this winter Surf City will begin pumping sand from Banks Channel on the Intracoastal Waterway side of the Pender County beach town onto its beach strand which is expected to wrap up in late March adding an estimated 60 feet of beach from the Topsail Beach line to 1,000 feet north of the Surf City Fishing Pier Town Manager Kyle Breuer said although Surf City only received one bid for the work it was within the town's estimates and the timing of when the dredging could take place within the fairly narrow fall/winter navigational window also worked "We were very fortunate and very thankful," he said Breuer noted that not only will the project help nourish Surf City's eroded beach but also piggyback on the earlier dredging of parts of Banks Channel done by Topsail Beach to improve navigation around the southern half of Topsail Island The breakdown of the project's cost is roughly $5 million from Surf City and about $14.5 million in funding coming through a one-time state grant a lot like today − if not worse − for beach towns desperate to hold back the encroaching ocean He said the pressures that are driving prices upward are only likely to increase as sea-level rise more storms and increased development make shore protection efforts more frequent and necessary than ever along many parts of the country's oceanfront The new Trump administration's stated goal of taking a fine-tooth comb to the federal budget and slashing a lot of discretionary spending also could leave many coastal communities hunting for new revenue sources outside of Washington just as dredging prices surge and the need for beach nourishment increases so the only future I see is one where costs are increasing because there's only so much sand and we're doing it more often and in more places," Young said Reporter Gareth McGrath can be reached at GMcGrath@Gannett.com or @GarethMcGrathSN on X/Twitter This story was produced with financial

during a surfing accident one couple on the beach sprang into action to help him Carolina Beach residents Glenn Carr and Wendy Harris said last Friday at around 5:00 p.m. they were walking on the beach like they always do they saw a woman and a child asking a seemingly tired surfer if he was okay “So she went away and the closer we got to him as we were walking we realized he was not okay,” Harris recalled and so we figured out that it was on his leg—not exactly where—but we tried to make sure that we went high enough that didn’t work ca use it wasn’t long enough and so then we used the rope from the surfboard.” the surfer—39-year-old Bryan Richard Yurecka—died shortly after EMS arrived “We were praying that was not going to be the case but we thought he might not make it by the time emergency responders were able to get there,” Harris said and a couple left rattled by the experience 30 surfers everyday off the balcony and you never think something like this is going to happen,” Carr said Carr and Harris said those moments served as a somber reminder and probably hugged them a little tighter over the weekend than normal cause it’s a good reminder,” Harris noted “Life is fragile and you have no idea how long you’re here.”   Authorities have not shared the cause of the cut on Yurecka’s leg Though Carr and Harris think his leg was cut by the surfboard Essaying the pop
