Search Ends for Missing Surf Fisherman off Oregon Inlet
 Vance Lowery of Catawba, NC was surf fishing with his family near Oregon Inlet late last week when he disappeared beneath the waves. Apparently the family was finishing their day when Lowery waded in chest deep to wash off some sand. Family members then saw him suddenly fall flat and disappear beneath the water. The victim's family saw no struggle and said that there were no rip tides or rough water at the time. Coast Guard vessels, park rangers and private boaters had been scouring nearby waters until today when the search was called off. Private and commercial boats have been asked to keep a lookout for the body. More on the search is available from the Hickory Record. Our hearts go out to the Lowery family.
