Pender EMS and Fire plans another station on U.S. 421

New Scotts Hill station operational in October By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender EMS and Fire officials say the Scotts Hill fire station should be staffed and working by early October. The station, located on U.S. 17, will have an engine and a crew of three firefighters staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to improving fire protection and response times to calls, the new station is expected to lower the ISO rating for the area, which translates into lower insurance costs for homeowners. “The primary goal of this facility is to decrease response times for fire and EMS calls, and lower the ISO rating in eastern Pender County,” said Pender EMS and Fire Chief Woody Sullivan. “By dispersing our equipment into more stations, it will put 100 percent of our fire district

“The primary goal of this facility is to decrease response times for fire and EMS calls...” within five miles of a fire station.” Sullivan says the savings on fire insurance for homeowners has offset the increased fire taxes in the area. While cost savings for homeowners is a good result of the new station, Assistant Chief David Stancil says it’s still all about fire protection. “It’s about boots on the ground. Instead of just two staffed engines, now we have two staffed engines and a ladder truck,” Stancil said. “By adding a station, our capabilities have doubled, because now we are able to staff the ladder truck.”

Hampstead flooded by freak storm By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher A thunderstorm parked over Hampstead for several hours Saturday, dumping up to eight inches of rain on the community. Six elderly residents of apartments off Azalea Drive were evacuated by boat when the rising water from the heavy rain flooded their homes. U.S. 17 was shut down for a time due to the flooding and was reopened by 7 p.m. The closed highway

The Sloop Point and Scotts Hill stations will have engines, while the ladder truck will be at the Hampstead station. Currently New Hanover County provides primary fire protection to the Scotts Hill area. It’s Sullivan’s goal to have Pender firefighters cover the area. “New Hanover County knows our end game is to take this area back and use them as mutual aid,” Sullivan said. U.S. 421 station planned Pender EMS and Fire is planning to build a station on U.S. 421 at Blueberry Road. The new station is in the Long Creek Grady fire district and would provide fire coverage to the county’s industrial park and the new R.C. Creations plant currently under construction. Officials expect the station to be operational

Although construction of new homes and commercial buildings hasn’t reached prerecession levels yet, growth has returned to Pender County. Building permits are up, with residential construction centered mainly along the U.S. 17 corridor in eastern Pender County. In fiscal year 2013-14, which ended June 30, the county issued 665 building permits with a total estimated construction value of $60.99 million. The number of permits is up from 558 issued in two years ago in fiscal year 2011-12 and the estimated construction value has doubled since FY 11-12. “We are steadily increasing in the number of building permits issued,” said Pender County Planning Director Kyle Breuer, “particularly associated with several new subdivisions that have been approved recently which are in

the coastal side of the county. We have also had an increase in commercial development with the building going on in Rocky Point. The new Tractor Supply and Family Dollar are currently under construction, along with the new Handi Hugos across from Paul’s Place.” Breuer anticipates the new private sewer system that will run from Scotts Hill through Hampstead will also boost both residential and commercial development in that area. “That will run from Scotts Hill to Country Club Road in Hampstead and will hook into the first project, the Villages at Olde Point, which is a 90-plus unit subdivision,” Breuer said. Prior to the recession, about 1,000 building permits were issued in Pender County during fiscal year 2006-7. Breuer doesn’t feel that number of permits and level of growth is sustainable as of yet. “Even though we have

TriHabitat eyes N.C. 210 property in Rocky Point By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Developers of the TRiHabitat triathlon athletic facility are looking at 1,306 acres located off N.C. 210 east in Rocky Point. The property, just east of the Shaw Highway intersection, is proposed to house the event center, which will host up to 20 race events each year, a bike course, running course, and a lake. A lodge, RV park,

cabins, campsite and bathhouse facilities are proposed on the site. The facility will also include a race village for vendors, amphitheatre for performances, and a conference center for meetings. Part of the property has frontage on the Northeast Cape Fear River. The project will require a Special Use Permit to be issued by the Pender County

caused a large traffic backup. Other streets in Hampstead closed by floodwaters included Country Club Drive, Garden Springs Road, and Azalea Drive. A sinkhole opened up near Azalea Drive off Country Club Drive near the Belevedere Country Club. “There were car accidents when vehicles hit the water, lost control and ran off into the ditch,” said Pender County Emergency Management Director Tom Collins. “Nobody was hurt – nothing serious anyway. We faired pretty well. Seven to eight inches of rain fell in a small area right around County Club Drive and toward Topsail in a two-hour time frame. It was a localized thunderstorm and the heavens just opened up and the storm just sat there.” Collins says in some places cars were submerged in the floodwater as the ditches filled up. “There were a lot of cars that were flooded out,” Collins said. “It was a freak storm that just unloaded. Storm drains can’t handle that kind of rain.” With all the wet weather the county has seen during the past week, Collins hopes no tropical system Staff photo by Michelle Charles will take aim at Pender County. “If we have a hurricane in the next month or so Rainwater pours across a washed out section of Country Club Drive Saturday. flooding wise it is going to be bad,” Collins said.

Too early to name the new bridge, Surf City says By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher The Surf City town board rejected a request to recommend the new bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway be named after former mayor George Leslie Thomas, the town’s youngest mayor. Thomas’ son Tim made the request. “It’s premature to start on this and I think we need to gather all the information together and when we get ready to work with DOT to make a recommendation we can consider all the applications we’ve had and come up with the appropriate name for the bridge,” said councilman Buddy Fowler. “He did a lot for the town of Surf City, but we have a lot of other people as well. I’d like to see us gather more information and make a decision later.” Fowler made a motion to

delay the dedication and councilman Doug Medlin seconded it Tim Thomas spoke up and said he wasn’t talking about the new bridge – he was speaking of the swing bridge. “It’s the same bridge,” said Mayor Zander Guy. “If we name it now it will be carried over to the new bridge. We need to wait until we get the actual new bridge. The board has indicated they will consider it at a later date.”

By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Pender EMS and Fire and the town of Surf City are considering a partnership to build a fire training facility on town property. The town board considered the request at their Aug. 5 meeting and referred the matter to the Planning Board for study. Pender EMS and Fire is asking the town to donate property for the facility and Pender EMS would build a fire training tower. “We need two fire training facilities and we approached Surf City about partnering with them on a site at their water tower. They have the infrastructure there – the water flow, fire hydrant systems and the land – and paid engine companies like we do,” said Pender EMS and Fire Chief Woody Sullivan. “If they will give us the land and help us with the site work, we will build the structure.” Sullivan said Pender County needs a training facility that meets ISO standards. The nearest facility is in New Hanover County. Sending firefighters there to train poses a problem for his department since firefighters currently have to train in their off-duty hours, which increases overtime costs. A fire training facility in Surf City would allow firefighters to train while on the job, and allow Pender EMS and Fire to rotate crews to man the fire stations during training and maintain fire protection. “Surf City can cover us while we are training and we can cover them while they are training. That solves the overtime issues and we can also do joint company operations training which is very big with ISO,” Sullivan said. Sullivan would like to build a three-story fire training building at the site that will allow live fire training for firefighters. “To do real training with firefighters, you need to heat them up – they need to really feel what it is like to be inside a burning building. They need to see the temperature, the smoke, that environment, so when they are in it, they won’t panic,” Sullivan said. “We want to be able to do real live training – search and rescue, repelling – that will be at the facility.” Surf City Mayor Zander Guy supports the idea of partnering with Pender EMS and Fire for a training facility. “Obviously fire training is very important.

Disc Decompression Therapy!

Dr. Joseph W. Davis, a Kennedy Certiﬁed Decompression practitioner, utilizes the Kennedy Neural-Flex Decompression System for the non-surgical treatment of spinal injuries and spinal pain. Decompression Therapy effectively relieves the pain associated with disc herniation, degenerative discs, stenosis, posterior facet, sciatica, headaches, and other spinal related syndromes, by reducing the pressure on spinal discs and facet joints through unloading created by distraction and positioning. Inversion therapy is also available for thoracic pain and symptoms. Spinal discs are avascular structures, meaning that they do not have an adequate blood supply like muscles in the body do. The lack of blood supply means that discs in the spine heal naturally at a very slow rate and current research states that spinal disc heal in 300-500 days without treatment. By employing Decompression Therapy, an osmotic interchange of fluid can be used to speed healing of the disc by up to 71% and heal that disc in less than 100 days. We also offer massage therapy to increase flexibility, decrease fibrotic adhesions, assist strengthening and stabilization of affected areas.

We stepped out for a moment.

Decompression Therapy begins with a series of sessions, typically 2-3 times per week. Each session is approximately 8-12 minutes. The extent and severity of each individual’s symptoms will determine the amount of sessions that will be necessary. Most patients experience relief in just 1-2 treatments!

We will return by 1:30.

County officials honor Harrell and Richard Citizen Volunteer of the Year and Employee of the Year By Tammy Proctor Post & Voice Staff Writer Citizenship and service were honored at the Aug. 4 Pender County Commissioners meeting. Attorney Kent Harrell was named the Outstanding Citizen Volunteer of the Year, and Ava Richard, a nurse with the county health department, was named the Outstanding Employee of the Year. Harrell, an attorney who represents individuals and small businesses, has served more than 15 years as an attorney advocate for the Guardian Ad Litem program in Pender County, representing abused and neglected children. Harrell’s volunteer activities include serving on the executive committee of the Cape Fear Council of Boy Scouts of America; a board member of

the Pender County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, and is the board chairman for North Carolina AMIKids, just to name a few a activities. Denise Mulhollen, director of county human services, said the criteria for the Pender County Outstanding Citizen Volunteer of the Year Award includes a concern for the all-around development of the community; presents a positive image of the county; participates regularly in community projects; shows evidence of on-going leadership and dedication; demonstrates a commitment to improving the quality of community life; and contributes time, energy, leadership and resources to enhance area organizations, or community programs/ initiatives. “The county received nominations and the Board of

Commissioners made the final selection of the award recipient,” said Mulhollen. “The process was conducted anonymously and th Board of Commissioners was not provided with the names of the nominees.” Ava Richard, a nurse with the county health department was presented the Pender County Outstanding Employee of the Year. A cancer survivor, Richard has a “can do” attitude, said Mulhollen. Richard is responsible for following up immunizations conducted by the county. Richard was called “an inspiration” to anyone who is fighting a battle. She thanked Health Department Director Carolyn Moser and she thanked God for walking with her through her cancer journey.

The criteria for Outstanding Employee of the Year includes: consistently provides a high quality of work; takes initiative to make things better by going above and beyond required duties; demonstrates ethical and professional behavior and exceptional dependability; serves as a role model through positive interactions with customers and coworkers; exhibits positive attitude, inspires others to excel; steps up to cooperatively work through problems offering solutions in a professional manner; and treats problems as opportunities, according to Mulhollen. The Board of Commissioners selected Richard through an anonymous process without knowing the nominee names. Chairman David Williams presented the awards to Harrell and Richard.

Charity corn hole tournament Aug. 23 By Lori Kirkpatrick Contributing Writer Images Salon and Day Spa is hosting its the Corn Hole for a Cure tournament Aug. 23 at the Topsail Island Moose Lodge at 13175 N.C. Highway 50 in Holly Ridge. The indoor tour nament begins at noon. Participants may preregister, or register at the door on the day of the event beginning at 11 a.m. There will be food, music, a cash bar, and a 50/50 drawing. Barbecue plates will be sold for $7 per plate and will be served beginning at 3 p.m. There will also be a silent auction and plenty of activities to entertain the kids. All proceeds will be donated to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Sheila Rodney is participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program. She explained how the program trains individuals to com-

plete their first half or full marathon, triathlon or century ride. In exchange for fundraising for LLS, participants receive individualized training plans with certified coaches, a community of supportive teammates, flexibility and convenience to fit busy schedules, and smartphone apps for on-the-go training. “I love what I do, and at the same time it’s making me a better athlete,” said Sheila. As part of this program, Sheila works with a core group of trainers who mentor her as a volunteer. This year, she is working with Nicole Moss, a cycling coach. Sheila hosts fundraisers for the program, and in return the Team in Training program provides individualized training for her. Sheila became involved after losing a family member to leukemia in 2005. More recently, yet another family member has been diagnosed with nonHodgkin’s lymphoma. This

year’s event is Sheila’s fifth one. “You never know who is going to be touched by these diseases next,” Sheila said. “This is a great event and a great source of support for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.” She explained that the LLS helps patients with a variety of services, including help dealing with insurance, picking up the difference in cost of expenses that insurance doesn’t cover, as well as taking patients to and from treatments. Sheila’s goal is to raise at least $1,500 through the Corn Hole for a Cure tournament. She is encouraging people to come out to eat and join a team for the tournament. The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, initiated in 1949, is the world’s largest voluntary health organization devoted to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The

Surf City’s Bellavie Boutique celebrates second anniversary By Tammy Proctor Post & Voice Staff Writer Bellavie Boutique will celebrate a second birthday by giving the gift of discounts to others. “We will offer a whole weekend of discounts,” said Amber Afify, owner of Bellavie Boutique. Located in the Promenade near the new Surf City Walmart Neighborhood Market, Bellavie Boutique will offer anniversary discounts Aug. 2224, as well as serve cake pops and refreshments. Two years ago, Afify opened Bellavie Boutique with one goal in mind – to provide everyday clothing and accessories to local residents. “We cater to the locals,” said Afify. “We provide everyday clothing to people in the area – without driving to Wilmington or Jacksonville.” Bellavie is an Italian and French word meaning “beautiful life,” said Afify. “I studied aboard,” said Afify, who double-majored in fashion design and fashion merchandising while earning a minor in interior design from Meredith College. “I was raised with a philosophy to create your own beautiful style and ‘Bellavie’ fit.” “The idea here is not to push fashions or trends,” said Afify. She enjoys offering stylish clothing at affordable prices. “We’re casual and stylish,” said Afify. “We look for emerging designers. We keep it unique and you won’t see the same fashions in the mall.” Afify said by finding emerging designers, customers receive fashionable clothing at affordable prices. “Geometric patterns are very popular,” said Afify. “There are more patterns in fabrics.” In Bellavie Boutique, shoppers will find jeans, tops, shirts, casual dresses, sweaters, and cocktail wear, as well as accessories such as scarves, jewelry and more. Afify recently added a “curvy” line of clothing for 1x, 2x, and 3x women’s sizes. The clothing line features casual dresses, shirts, and coordinat-

ing slacks, maxi skirts, kneelength skirts, and shrugs. A few beach bags are about the only ‘beach-seasonal’ items available at Bellavie Boutique. Afify does not sell resort-wear. “We’re busy every day,” said Afify. “We’ve always stressed everyday wear for our locals. We fill a niche.” Afify, who confessed that shoes are her “weakness” said Bellavie Boutique sold six different styles of shoes. Space was limited. In the back of her mind, she knew a shoe store would fill another need in the local retail landscape. In May, Afify opened the Shoe Tree, a shoe store offering men’s, women’s, and children’s shoes. The Shoe Tree sells athletic shoes, sandals, casual and dress shoes, for everyone in the family. The store offers major brands such as Nike, Dexters, and Dr. Scholl’s, to name a few. “I don’t like clutter. I didn’t want customers to have to dig for shoes,” said Afify. Nor did

she want a cold warehouse atmosphere for the Shoe Tree. “I think we found a happy medium between a big box shoe store and a boutique.” The Shoe Tree is located next door to Bellavie Boutique. To give the two stores their own space yet keep an open feel, Afify’s husband, Michael, removed a portion of a wall and a half-portion area. The addition of the Shoe Tree expanded Afify’s retail space to more than 3,000 square feet. “We’re small enough that we can develop relationships with our shoppers and the community,” said Afify. Yet, Bellavie Boutique’s customer base extends beyond the Greater Topsail area. The boutique’s online presence serves shoppers from New York to Mississippi. “We like to keep the boutique unique,” said Afify. For more about Bellavie Boutique, stop by the store, 2660 N.C. Hwy. 210 E. in Surf City. The store hours are Mondays through Saturdays, 10

a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sundays, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Visit online at http://shopbellavie.com. Call Bellavie Boutique at 910-3291447.

Welcome to my world

Get ready for the tax increase – its coming We have been quite fortunate in Pender County over the past few years – or maybe not so much. We have not seen a property tax increase in the county for a while now. You may remember the school bond that was approved to build the new Topsail High School came with a promised tax hike which never came. Commissioners It would have been better didn’t implement that increase over the past few years to due to the great recession. The have increased the tax rate board didn’t have the stomach a little each year, knowing to increase taxes and face the these big-ticket items were inevitable political backlash on the horizon, rather than that usually accompanies a tax kicking the tax increase can hike. Some on the board didn’t down the road. Now we are want to work any hardship on facing a large increase – county taxpayers that were figures of 12 to 25 cents have having a tough time during been thrown around. the recession. That may have been nice then, but now is now. The day of reckoning is nigh upon us. We need to brace ourselves for an increase during the next fiscal year of epic proportions. With a $75 million school bond proposal on the table for approval, and the new jail and law enforcement center in the works, our tax bills are going up – a lot. Hindsight is always 20/20 as they say. It would have been better over the past few years to have increased the tax rate a little each year, knowing these big-ticket items were on the horizon, rather than kicking the tax increase can down the road. Now we are facing a large increase – figures of 12 to 25 cents have been thrown around. Growth is returning to the county, and that’s a good thing from a tax standpoint. That means more revenue to help fund these big building projects. Hopefully the growth will continue and we won’t have to raise taxes too much. But an increase is coming. You can bank on that.

The Point

My Spin

Tom Campbell

Guarding the henhouse, and real tax reform North Carolina legislators have been to school in the complications and frustrations resulting from tax policy changes. Some of this session’s conflicts were a result of changes made to the state’s tax codes in 2013. Three lessons can be learned: you must keep the foxes out of the henhouse, you must feed the beast, and real reforms must simplify and be uniform, understandable and enforceable. Give them credit. North Carolina’s tax codes are hopelessly in need of change. Through the years they have been amended and layered with tax preferences, exceptions and loopholes. The 2013 session was the first to seriously attempt tax reform. Of more than 300 existing special tax breaks lawmakers chose 48 to sunset or cease. This initial step, they proclaimed, would begin meaningful reform. Experienced observers understood they were about to learn lesson one about keeping the foxes out of the henhouse. The late State Treasurer Harlan Boyles, long an advocate for tax reform, was also an experienced realist. He knew the only way to achieve comprehensive tax reform was to begin with high-level buy-ins from lawmakers and the governor, establish an experienced task force, swear members to secrecy, work behind closed doors, then, at the conclusion of their work and with the support of legislative leadership, bring their work product to the floor of the legislature with the understanding it could be passed up or down, but not amended. Otherwise tax reform would die a death by a thousand cuts, as one special interest group after

another fought for their best interests. We are witnessing that today. We aren’t finished with the fight to preserve film tax and historic preservation tax credits, just two of the foxes seeking access to the proverbial henhouse. Tax reform would have been easier if all tax breaks were eliminated at one time and all foxes were equally clambering for access. The 2013 tax changes cut income taxes, especially for corporations and higherearning individuals. Using what were considered reliable, conservative projections legislators built a biennial budget based on declining state revenues resulting from those tax cuts, but also factoring in revenue growth from an improved economy. But projections aren’t reality. State revenues declines were some $200 million more than anticipated, attributed to less than expected personal income growth. Further, there is concern next year’s revenue deficits will grow even larger with the second round of tax cuts. Those concerns impacted this year’s budget deliberations. Lesson two – you must feed the beast of state government. The third lesson is that the goal of tax reform is to simplify, clarify and make tax codes uniform. We have this romantic vision that tax policy should be fair, with no one having any more or less advantage and without the state picking winners and losers. Laws should be easy to understand as well as efficient to collect and enforce. The 2013 tax reforms nibbled around the edges a little but fell short of the goal. This reminds us of the proverb about a person with money meeting a person with experience. At the end, the person with experience leaves with money and the person with money leaves with experience. The state has less money, certain taxpayers have more, and legislators have more experience. The question is what lawmakers will do with that newly gained experience. –Campbell is former assistant state treasurer and is creator/host of NC SPIN, a weekly statewide television discussion of state issues airing Saturdays at 5 a.m. on WILM-TV and Sundays at 9:30 a.m. on Time Warner Cable Channel 20, Channel 25, and Channel 52.

Bad boys, whatcha gonna do?

The Post & Voice’s quotes of the week “...the heavens just opened up and the storm just sat there...It was a freak storm that just unloaded. Storm drains just can’t handle that kind of rain.”

Pender County EM Director Tom Collins on the storm and flooding in Hampstead Saturday.

“It’s about boots on the ground. Instead of just two staffed engines, now we have two staffed engines and a ladder truck.” Pender EMS and Fire Assistant Chief David Stancil on the new Scotts Hill Fire Station.

Nails to keep it interesting Even before the twisting of the steering wheel tattletaled about the tortured tire, I knew the end was coming. At least it was a gradual, measured failure, rather than a screaming blowout that often ends in more than just an inconvenience. In this case, however, Dr. Murphy’s law was being fully enforced. A good place to pull off was just a few hundred yards ahead, but the rains that had been threatening all morning chose that precise moment to begin falling. At least I didn’t have to worry about getting too hot, or washing my hands when the tire was changed. I have a friend who boasts about having never had a flat tire, under any circumstances. I have often doubted the veracity of his claims, although in the past he drove far more on a weekly basis than I do. I often wondered if his alleged feat was more from a desire to shame his kids into maintaining their vehicles, so he wouldn’t be called for help at 2 a.m. One of the tire folks I deal with says you can tell a lot about a person’s life by the stuff that spins off the tire, past the rim and onto the hub. Mud, sand, rust, trash, string—all of it tells a tale of going somewhere and doing something. No one, myself included, likes a flat tire. There has never been a way to stay clean whilst changing a tire (unless you have access to someone to change it for you, either out of Samaritanism or for pay.) If you don’t live in a bubble, however, it’ll happen. Just the other day I stopped to help a fellow whose misfortune created a nightmare in evening traffic. He had somehow lost a large box of drywall nails—complete with the wide flanged heads—where a busy fourlane narrows to two lanes. It amazed me how few people stopped to offer him a hand. “I don’t want nobody to

Jefferson Weaver get a flat because of me,” he said, but apparently, in their haste to flee the fetters that feed their families, most folks were more interested in getting on down the road, rather than looking out for what might be in the road. I saw at least one car pick up a couple of those nails, then speed on by as the poor guy and a couple other folks frantically swept, kicked and plucked as many nails as we could from the road. I’m fairly sure that driver had to delay the family’s weekend plans as a result of being in too much of a hurry. While I wish no one any harm, if you ignore three people standing in the road, waving and yelling “Nails in the road,” and you also disregard the deputy trying to direct traffic – well, you might deserve what you get for not paying attention. In most cases, I can blame no one but myself for the flats I’ve changed through the years. There have also been things like broken bottles, terrorists disguised as road debris, and yes, a box of nails that fell out of a truck. As teenagers, we had tire-changing down to a science that would have been the envy of NASCAR; lacking cellphones, we all learned how to handle a lug wrench and a bumper jack in the dark in a storm in six inches of mud. All that while walking to school uphill both ways through the snow, of

course. Once in a while, a parent would gently, or forcefully, suggest that if we bought good tires to begin with, rather than ones that were used or recapped or (literally) found in a ditch, we might not have to change so many tires. Of course, as teens first feeling the independence that comes with four wheels and a horizon limited only by gas money, we rarely listened. After all, our parents were old. What did they know? I have to admit, as I have approached and surpassed the age of some of those parents, I have oftentimes regretted not paying more attention to their advice. Still, there is a certain amount of pride in getting an extra 25,000 miles out of a tire. One of my father’s favorite stories involved a 1950something stationwagon that belonged to the little string of newspapers he worked for years before I was born. The owner’s sons were notorious in both their reliance on their dad’s money and their abuse of vehicles, and were as likely to take the wagon without asking as they were to purchase a soft drink with nickels from the cash drawer. Papa was on his way to the printer one stormy night when he heard that familiar sound, that of a tire giving up the ghost. Newspapers were printed using lead type back then, and pages were made up on large frames where letters, words and images were locked into place, then placed on the press. Every “page” weighed something like 50 or 60 pounds; since this was tobacco market season, there were a lot of pages in the back of that station wagon. The boss’ sons had loaded the wagon while Papa was finishing off a few other details prior to the almost-midnight trip to the press, located in a larger town a couple dozen miles away.

I love reality shows and one of my favorites is Cops. This hard-hitting docu-drama has become pretty predictable with situations where the issues are obvious and the suspect is so clearly guilty. The perpetrators try to weasel out of trouble, but a shoe is a shoe no matter how you look at it. It’s almost comical and usually goes something like this: Cop: Sir, do you know why I stopped you? Perp: Uh…profiling? Cop: Your tail lights are out. And, you ran over a pedestrian while speeding. You don’t have a license tag and there’s a dead body hanging out of your trunk. Perp: Whaaaaattttttt? Cop: So, where are you coming from? This street is nothing but drug dealers and crack houses. Perp: No way. I was on my way home and I think I’m lost. Cop: Do you mind if I search your car? Perp: Uh, yeah. I mind. Cop: Well, that doesn’t matter because I’m going to get the drug dog to sniff around anyway. Perp: So, why’d you even ask me if I minded if you searched the car? Cop: I really don’t know. I just always ask that question. At this point the police officer begins looking inside the car. Cop: OK, so where did this five pound-box of cocaine come from? Perp: What? Where? Cop: OK, do you see that five pound bag of cocaine in the bright yellow box with the words “This is just baby powder!” written in black magic marker? It’s sitting in the front seat next to the ten illegal firearms, twenty baggies of cannabis and that clown mask. Perp: Oh, now I see it, but that’s not my stuff. See, I let me cousin Little Bit, that’s Big Bit’s baby brother and my baby mama’s Godson’s nephew, borrow my ride and he must have left that in the seat. It’s his. Cop: Well, how did that get in there? (Points to the blood crusted machete) Perp: Huh? Cop: Sir, is this your car? Perp: I’m just borrowing it right now. I don’t know how that stuff got in there. If Little Bit didn’t leave it, somebody must have thrown it in the back of my car at the Scotchman when I stopped to buy a diet Coke and some Cool Ranch Doritos. I left my windows down because my AC just went out. Cop: How do you explain the endangered loggerhead turtle hatchlings in the floorboard? It’s illegal to have them in your possession. Perp: Oh snap, officer. I didn’t know about that one. They must’ve crawled in the car when I left my door open after I dropped June Bug off at this beach party. Please don’t tell the turtle ladies. Just last week they slashed my homeboy’s tires because

Newsings & Musings

By Edith Batson Post Staff Writer Sad and Glad news My sister-in-law, Ruby Peel Crowley, recently broke her hip, had surgery, and went to a Rehab facility for therapy. She was taking oxygen 24/7 and was not gaining her strength back. On Thursday I visited her late in the afternoon at suppertime. Her food did not interest her. (I know that feeling because my appetite is poor. I don’t get hungry but I make myself eat three times a day.) We had a good visit together. On the way home, my gas gauge showed a nearly empty gas tank. I was afraid I would not have enough gas to make it home. Driving on the North side of College Road, I kept looking for a gas station. None. I knew there was one at Wrightsville Ave. Of course it was closed. Stopped the car at the mall across from Lowe’s, Sam’s another stores, and went in T.J. Maxx to ask if they knew of an open gas station nearby. Just across the street. I thought they meant across the side street, but a nice clerk took me to the entrance where we could see the station. It

was across College Rd. then I remembered the station and quickly got gas and headed home. Had to laugh at myself for forgetting that there were two gas stations- on the rightjust beyond the intersection at the stoplight- just a couple of blocks beyond the Market Street overpass. I was so afraid I’d get stranded- and out of gas- on I-40 that I just forgot about those two stations. Anyway, I was glad to get home with gas in my tank! Other sad news Edith called me Thursday night to say that she was glancing through obituaries in Wilmington Star-News on line and noticed that Marjorie Davis Bowen had died and the funeral was on Friday. Visitation was at one p.m. and the funeral was at two p.m. at First Baptist in Wilmington. It was my day to volunteer at the Museum on Friday from 1-4 p.m. Called Holly Horton Friday morning to see if she could get a replacement for me. She called my museum partner, Eddie Rivenbark, and he said he would handle it. I had told Holly I probably could get to

the museum late. Arrived at First Baptist at 1:15 and was able to see Margie’s husband, Fib Bowen and his daughter; Beth Hughes. He grew up in Burgaw, and I did not know Fib as a nickname came from Frank Ivey Bowen till years later. Mary Bowen Caputo was there with her daughter, Kathryn Kirk, of Raleigh. Also I saw two Bowen sisters, Marion Bowen’s daughters, Kay LaSure and Jan Kirk of Wilmington and Fib’s niece, Sandy & husband, Scott Halstead of Western N.C.- Maxine’s daughter. Beth was giving small angels out to all the ladies. The small angel had a pearl for a head and a gold colored paper clip for the body, tied with a thin pink ribbon, to hang around one’s neck. What a thoughtful gesture that was to give a small memento in her Mother’s memory. I did arrive at the museum late but in time to finish my time. Unfortunately about 9 p.m. Friday night I had a telephone call from my nephew, Sidbury Crowley that my

sister-in-law, Ruby had died about 8 p.m. I had felt on the visit to her the day before that she might not get well, but I had no idea that God would take her home so quickly. Her niece and nephew with whom she made her home in Leland, Lynn and Gene Atkinson, were on vacation and were at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Lynn called me later on Friday night to say that hopefully they could have a memorial service on Saturday of next week at St. Andrews Covenant Church. Ruby was the widow of my brother, George Worth Crowley, who died in 1969. Fortunately and unfortunately, death is very much a part of life. I remember very clearly when I was told on Christmas Day in 1971 that my mother had just died, saying, “The Lord hath given and the Lord hath taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.” Job 1:21 (b). Vespers- at Kirkwood The regular summer monthly vesper service took place Sunday, August 10, at 5:00 for fellowship and light

refreshments and 6:00 for Vespers. St. Andrews- Covenant Presbyterian Church of Wilmington hosted the service. Minister is Steve Heim, who conducted the Vesper Service. Ray Mendenhall accompanied hymns on guitar. Several churches were represented. Since the weather was “If-y” the Vesper service was held at the Pavilion. Two more Vespers are scheduled- in September and October. Everyone is welcome to join us. Dorothy Mills drove to Kirkwood Sunday, and I rode with her. I usually take a flashlight to help me read the program. When we arrived back at our church for me to pick up my car, another car drove up. In it were Ray and Ann Mendenhall. I had left my flashlight on the table at Kirkwood and Ann had picked it up. She had it with her when they were on their way back to Burgaw- and saw us at the church. Am I blessed or am I blessed. It was my best flashlight! Thank you, Ann and Ray. Summer is fleeting Here it is the middle of August already. School and

colleges will soon be starting classes again, school supplies and backpacks will be purchased and pencils and pens will be in hand. It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. The older one gets, the faster time flies— and the slower we move. Little ones going to kindergarten may be excited, some will be a little apprehensive about leaving moms and not want to let go of her hand- or start to cry. Time will soon pass and they will be happy to have friends their own age and have fun in school. Burgaw Book Club members are reminded to get their books to Marge Moore (for Ann Wolfe, temporarily.) and if you have not taken a program or hostess date for 2014-15 year, call Linda Polinski immediately. The yearbooks need to be put together on Saturday. Parting thought Pray for our administrative government and Congress, that they will ask God to help them make wise decisions for the good of our country and its people. Shalom

Cop: No. Now, do you have anything in your pockets that you want to tell me about? Perp: No, officer. Cop: Okay, you’re telling me that you have nothing in your pockets, but I’m looking at your pockets right now and they’re bulging out. I mean, literally, I don’t think you can fit another thing in there. There’s a needle sticking out of the left one along with an outline of a switchblade in your back pocket. There’s also a wad of twenties crammed in that little pocket inside of the big

front pocket that nobody ever uses because nothing fits in there. Perp: No, sir, there’s nothing in my pockets that I know of. Cop: Well, can you tell me your name? Perp: Sure, it’s…ummm… Sebastian…ummm...Rothchild…Sheffield…the third. Cop: Do you have any ID? Perp: I bet my baby girl’s aunt stole my wallet- had my license and my Boy Scout membership card in it. You just can’t trust people anymore. I swear on my mother’s life and the life of any unborn baby I might have one day with my girl Diamond who is T-Bird’s second cousin’s sister’s niece from Philly. Cop: Stop resisting. Perp: (Standing still) Officer, I’m not resisting. I’m standing right here. You just put the handcuffs on me.

Cop: Stop resisting. Perp: Sir, I’m still just standing here. I’m literally not moving. Cop: (Pepper sprays perp before tazing him) Perp: (Flails uncontrollably and starts rolling on the ground) Cop: (Kneeling on Perp) Have you been using any illegal drugs today? Your eyes are bloodshot and I’ve noticed involuntary muscle movements. Perp: You just peppersprayed my eyes and sent jolts of electrici current through my body. I can’t stop twitching. At this point the drug-sniffing German Shepard Thor arrives. Cop: Now, put your hands up or I’ll release the dog. Perp: I can’t. I’m handcuffed, tazed and blind. Cop: Go get him, Thor.

Thor: Growl, growl, chew, growl, bite, chew. Cop: Release. Release. Thor: Chew, munch, munch, growl, chew, growl, tear.

Cop: Wait, I forgot that I have to speak German for the dog to understand my com

for the jack. There was a tire tool, but it wasn’t the one that fit the car. On top of all this—the spare was not standing in the corner. Shining the flashlight around the bed of the car, Papa could see the tire was in its nest— below stacks and stacks of frames holding hundreds of pounds of lead type. There were no payphones, garages, stores, farms or homes on this road. There was nothing to do but unload the stacks of wooden-framed lead type, one by one, and place them in the red clay of the side of the road. Naturally, it started raining about the time Papa discovered the boys had a flat tire, and hadn’t bothered to get a new one. The spare had been questionable to begin with, but with several

hundred extra pounds bearing down on it, the end was inevitable. Papa eventually found a bootleg joint that was still open, and the entire clientele turned out to help (some possibly because they knew Mr. Tom from his part-time job as a justice of the peace). The paper got out on time, and the car got a new set of tires. I thought about the Old Man’s story while I was struggling with a rain-slick jack the other day. Our tires tell where we have been, good or bad, wet or dry, muddy or sandy. I’d be suspicious of someone who’s never had a flat—to me that means they only take the safe, smooth roads where there’s never a nail and not much of a life. After all, life’s road isn’t just

filled with potholes, as the saying goes—there have to be some nails along the way, too, just to keep it interesting. --–Weaver is a columnist with the Post & Voice. Contact him at jeffweaver@ whiteville.com.

I’m going to put you in handcuffs, but that does not mean you are under arrest. I’m going to arrest you eventually and I think you know that, but if I don’t put you in handcuffs you might run away and you can probably run faster that I can. I’m a little out of shape.

Continued from page 4A My Old Man liked to plan ahead; he always kept the jack, flashlight and tire tool where he could access them without going into the cargo compartment of the wagon. He also kept the spare standing to one side of the back area, so it could be rolled out if needed. On this particular car, the spare was usually carried in a compartment under the floorboard in the bed. It took a few minutes to find the flashlight, but when he did, Papa was disturbed to find things not as they were when he last drove the car. The base of the jack was missing, as was the handle

Finding your past on Facebook By Dr. Chris Wirszyla Cape Fear Elementary School Special to the Post & Voice Time is relentless, as the old saying goes and we see and experience it every day. Pink Floyd sang about how suddenly ten years have gone behind youâ&#x20AC;Śyou missed the starting gun. Our everyday life can drag on when we are in crisis or bored, but suddenly you realize how quickly time passes. I laughed at my sister Sandy when she turned 30. She said, just you wait. I had a friend in Barcelona who, 25 years ago when she was 37, said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never want to be 60.â&#x20AC;? I wonder if she feels the same way today? I am lucky, I have had a fulfilling life, was in the military, earned a doctorate degree, lived in five different countries, a wonderful family, married the love of my life, and have four children, including five-year-old twins who add an amazing facet to our everyday existence (although Bella sometimes pushes the buttons). As I have finally settled down, it is almost surreal to look back at the things that I did, the people I knew, the places I have been. In 1995, my friend Dave and I were going through a graduate program and set up our first email account. It was such a technological advancement for us, we were nervous it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. Now, I can get

you any piece of information you want in seconds. The explosion of social media, especially Facebook, has brought my past back to me. Reconnecting with people from the past can be joyful and rewarding. You see how much they have changed, yet remained the same. The trick is, of course, to filter Facebook in such a way that your good memories are brought to life, and your bad ones kept stashed away. No wonder the main advice for Facebook users is to think before you hit send. I have reconnected with two main groups over the past couple of years. First are the people I went to high school with, many of whom simply disappeared the day we graduated. I always wondered what happened to many of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; people I shared many experiences with. Facebook has allowed me to follow what they are doing, and I am both surprised and not surprised where they ended up. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interesting to see pictures of these people, how they have aged compared to me, and how much they look like their parents. Suddenly the cool partying people are not so cool anymore if they are still partying like they used to. The old flames or want to be flames now look like my Aunt Betty. The lowest person academically in my class of 88 is now a defense lawyer, driving a Cadillac. Last month I was

driving back from Raleigh, thinking of a person I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard from since tenth grade. The very next day, I received a friend request from him. He lives in Durham. Within two emails we were talking like we had never been separated, him getting on me about my rag arm in baseball and me reminding him his Indians team never beat us when we played Little League. The second group is from an important time in my life, when I spent seven years in Barcelona at the Benjamin Franklin International School. It was an incredible time, teaching, travelling, partying. The students and faculty were a very close knit group of people. I forged many strong lifelong friendships, had an amazing variety of experiences, and consider it the time in my life where I formed many of my convictions that I carry today. It was a time of being true to yourself and what you believe in. Leaving was hard, but my father told me I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to put much bacon on the table by staying there. I kept in touch with some of the people, and went back to see my first Kindergarten class graduate in 2000. After that, I reconnected with the love of my life (by the archaic telephone and snail mail), worked at Lander University while she went back to school

Are you reading this while drinking your coffee in a Styrofoam cup, stirring in (with a plastic stirrer) the cream (that came out of a little plastic container)? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only one small example of how we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to navigate through life these days without creating trash. In our work with endangered species that spend their lives at sea we are well aware of what happens to most of that trash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it ends up in the oceans. If you live in the ocean you eat whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the ocean. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen first-hand what turtles find tasty, and it ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty. It makes them sick, and it makes us sick to think that we are the ones responsible for trashing our beautiful planet. Several months ago our director Jean Beasley asked Ginger Taylor (one of the greenest volunteers we have) and Bonnie Monteleone of Wilmington, the founder of the Plastic Ocean Project, Inc. if they could create a turtle sculpture made of trash from local beaches to bring home the plastic story for our visitors. Bonnie is an accomplished artist, and you can read more about her work, including her amazing plastic wave now on tour on the POP, Inc. website. Ginger is a passionate beachcomber, but her treasure for the past six years has been plastic. As her collection accumulated in Bonnieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s storage area they often talked about someday creating a turtle made of plastic. Now they had the incentive, a venue and a very tight time frame in which to bring the concept to life. And they certainly werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lacking in material. But how to put it together? Ginger said they knew it had to be three dimensional, and it was important that the dimensions mirror a real sea turtle. One of our patients at the time, Hyde, served as the model, and he sat patiently in his tank while Ginger measured every part of the big guy with tape and calipers. Now with an idea of the size they sorted through mounds of garbage to find things that could best represent a sea turtle. They had lots and lots of sunglasses, flip flops and shovels and those items became the basis of exhibit. They started with the eyes, the widows to the soul of every creature. You can see in the eyes of these amazing animals the collective wisdom of millions of years, and the story of their continuing struggle to survive. Ginger and Bonnie experimented with many combinations of lenses and finally settled on a three-layer model: dive mask goggles, swim goggles and sunglass lenses, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an eerily similar reproduction of our turtleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes. The head was

Ginger Taylor and some of her art work next, and after several nights of staying up late they finally achieved success. Now for the body: shovels were spot-on for the scutes, and those flat flip-flops woven together with straws made for a perfect plastron. The areas between the scutes were filled with bubble wrap which was sprayed with glue and sprinkled with beach sand. The netting on our critter was plucked from a gyre in the Pacific by Bonnie. That netting was responsible for the deaths of twentyone sea lions that became entangled in it. Finally trash turtle was complete and was being mounted on our wall the night before our grand opening in June. Ginger also created two additional pieces (mounted in recycled window panels) on ocean trash and its impact on all of us. Everything in the exhibit has been recycled. While the turtle and windows are on permanent display. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beyond excited that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finally a purpose for all of her efforts. Stop by for some trash talkinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Summer releases If theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready to go we send them home, and Canady is still on the short list for a summer release. Watch our Facebook page (The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center) for dates and times of any upcoming releases. Details are posted the day before. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hatching Unless we get a lot of last minute activity it looks like a pretty slow summer with nests hovering around the half-hundred mark. But now through October we move into the seriously cute season as those little hatchlings emerge ready to take on their life at sea. Be sure to spend a few minutes with our volunteer manning the nesting display at our hospital to get a glimpse of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hiding below those staked off areas on our beaches. Our visitors are more likely than ever to have a close encounter of the sea turtle and Topsail Turtle Project volunteer kind as the summer

progresses and those beach walks in the morning expand into nest sitting at night. We continue to rely heavily on our locals and visitors to report any sighting of nesting turtles, hatching nests and any turtles in distress. Please report all local sea turtle activity to our director of beach operations Terry Meyer at 910-470-2880. If unable to reach her you may also contact our director Jean Beasley at 910-470-2800. The state also has a hotline for strandings (injured or sick turtles): 252-241-7367 and the call will be picked up 24/7. Hospital visiting hours First of all you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always trust the internet. We still have visitors telling us they went to our old location in Topsail Beach because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where their computer or smart phone told them to go. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go there looking for the hospital â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we moved almost a year ago. And if you try Google Maps you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find us because the road (Tortuga Lane) is too new. And a word of advice â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you park on the side of the road beware of the drop-off into the ditches, and that sand is softer than it looks. We are open daily except Wednesday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. General admission is $5, seniors and military admission is $4, and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s admission is $3. We are located at 302 Tortuga Lane, (mainland) Surf City. Take the turn from Rts. 50/210 onto Charlie Medlin Drive (Shipwreck Point Mini Golf is your landmark for this road.) Follow the road onto the gravel section and through the roundabout. We are the only building on Tortuga. Visit our website (www.seaturtlehospital.org) and/or our Facebook page (The Karen Beasley Sea Turtle Rescue & Rehabilitation Center) for updates on patients and other turtle happenings.

Do not worry saying, what shall we eat? Or what shall we drink? Or what shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6: 31-33 At a conference I attended some years ago, I heard Ernest Campbell, who for many years was the senior minister of the prestigious Riverside Church in New York, make this statement: The question of stewardship is not what am I going to give to the church (or for the sake of others), but what am I going to keep for myself and how am I going to justify it? In other words sharing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bounty is not about how much you give but how much you keep and how that reflects your sense of faith, grace and gratitude. Laura Mendenhall (my sister-in-law) wrote an article not long ago on giving. In her article, she introduces us to the myth of not enough. This is the idea that there is not enough for everyone, not enough to go around. Therefore we need to look after number one first, grab our piece of paradise and hold onto it. Whatever we can get our hands on, we need to hold on to because somewhere down the line things might just run out. This is a destructive myth, first because it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really true and second because it sets us to rationalizing how we are going to keep more and give away less, decisions that not only compromise our lives but also compromise the lives of others. As Laura continues, she invites us to look again at our faith in the faithfulness of God. She writes, Without such faith, without such faith in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faithfulness, we end up dying to ourselves, to one another, to life as God intended,

making life difficult for those we love and all God loves. These are choices that are ours to make. This is not just the way it is. We chose how we think about and live our lives. We chose how we view the world and its bounty. We chose how we respond to what we have and the needs of other. We live in tough times. We watch the price of everything go up while our income stays the same (or goes down). We fear there wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be enough and are tempted to hang on to what we have for dear life. I understand that. I see the need every single day, and so do you. Some of us respond to the needs around us. We reach out to help, some people dedicates their lives to it, to developing and funding ways to help others. We do it because of who we are and who we want to be. We are the people of God. That counts for something in this life as well as the next. It counts for something in the way we think, in the way we care, and in the way we respond. We are the people of God and because we are, we are richly blessed. The curse of enough is the fear of not enough, but the blessing of enough is that we are blessed with abundance. Every one of us is far better off than the majority of people on this globe. We need not worry for God knows all our human needs. His blessings are abounding. I remember an incident some time back when I received word about a family that needed food. Normally, I would just give them a voucher to get food from Pender County Christian Services; but it was the beginning of the weekend, the family would have to do without for several days and the need expressed was critical. So I gathered a box of food to tide them over until we could get them in our system and provide them with help. I drove to the house knocked on the door and was greeted by a young man. I asked for the name I have been given. The young man

Donations Needed

Pender County Christian Services is open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Donations of canned food, clothing, household items, etc. can be left at 210 W. Fremont St., Burgaw. PCCS is a non-proďŹ t, non-denominational organization with a seven member board of directors. The purpose of PCCS is to minister to human need in the name of Christ and to offer assistance to the needy in the form of a community clothes closet and food pantry. PCCS is also the site for Temporary Emergency Food Assistance (TEFAP) distribution bi-monthly on Fridays.

told me that she was his mother. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard you could use some food,â&#x20AC;? I said. The manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes lit up at the sight of the box of canned goods. He was something more than perfuse in his gratitude, bordering on hero worship. It made me feel a bit self-conscious. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mom is really going to appreciate this,â&#x20AC;&#x153; he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;She has had nothing in the house for several days.â&#x20AC;? The words had the ring of sincerity and of authenticity to them. I thought at the time, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When a box of canned goods looks that good, we know we are richly blessed â&#x20AC;&#x201C; blessed with more than enough.â&#x20AC;? Laura Mendenhall closes her article with these words. Our engagement with the church convicts us of our election for service as well as sal-

vation. It reminds us of the call for faithful stewardship that shuns ostentation and seeks the proper use of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gifts, of the need to recognize how our idolatries keep us from hearing Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to justice and the sacredness of our life in covenant community. Giving isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just charity and sharing with others is not a handout, it is a holy calling. As Paul reminds us in Romans 8, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the God who did not withhold his own Son, but gave Him up for all of us, will He not with Christ freely give us all things?â&#x20AC;? Brothers and sisters we are called to be faithful â&#x20AC;&#x201C; either we are faithful to God and share His bounty with others or we are faithful to something else.

Tasty Southern recipes

>ef[Ă&#x160;i 9eea_d] 9ehd[h

By Hope Cusick Special to the Post & Voice Pimento cheese is a Southern favorite and goes well on a grilled cheese sandwich, as a dip for vegetables, on crackers, or as a side with fried green tomatoes. There are many varieties of recipes for this tasty dish, below is my version of pimento cheese. Tomatoes are plentiful up until October, and a tasty tomato casserole works well as a side for most meals. For the tomato casserole below, I like to cut my small tomatoes CHERRY GRAPE PLUM OR 2OMA in half lengthwise. I add an extra layer of cheddar cheese just under the biscuit topping for an added taste. The chocolate zucchini cake freezes well, just wrap in plastic and then in aluminum foil. Freeze up to 3-4 months. If you would like this cake for the holidays add some chopped dried apricots and/ or rum soaked raisins. I like to substitute chopped hazel nuts for the pecans for the holiday cake. Enjoy. Pimento cheese 8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, grated 8 ounces Vermont cheddar

cheese 3 ounces cream cheese, softened 1 4-ounce jar red pimientos, drained and diced 1/3 cup mayonnaise 1-3 teaspoons white vinegar, to taste Âź teaspoon fresh ground black pepper Â˝ teaspoon garlic powder With an electric mixer beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add all ingredients and beat well. Add 1-teaspoon vinegar at a time to taste. Tomato cobbler This dish works well as a side, or with eggs for breakfast. 1 large sweet onion, chopped 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 large red, ripe and fir m tomato, seeds removed, and chopped 4 garlic cloves, minced then smashed 3 pounds small tomatoes, DIVIDED ) LIKE THEM CUT IN half.) 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar 1 tablespoon cornstarch Salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste 1 teaspoon dried ground thyme leaves 4-6 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded 1Â˝ cups self-rising flour Â˝ cup stone ground yellow cornmeal Â˝ teaspoon baking powder Â˝ cup cold butter, cut into small pieces 6 ounces white cheddar cheese, shredded 2 tablespoons dried sweet basil, crushed 2 tablespoons dried parsley flakes 1Âź cups buttermilk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. SautĂŠ onion in hot oil in a skillet over medium high heat for 5-6 minutes until tender. Add chopped tomato, garlic, and 1Â˝ cups small tomatoes; sautĂŠ for 8-10 minutes until tomatoes are softened. Remove from heat and stir in vinegar, corn starch, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste. Place remaining small tomatoes in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. Spoon onion-tomato mixture over tomatoes, and gently toss to coat. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle shredded cheese over top of tomatoes. In a bowl stir together flour, cornmeal, and baking powder. Cut cold butter into flour with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; cover and chill for 10 minutes. Stir white cheddar cheese, parsley, and basil together and stir into cold flour mixture, mix well. Add milk, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Drop mixture by Â˝ cupfuls onto tomato mixture; do not spread. Bake in a 375 oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until a golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Kale salad with apples and grapes 6 cups kale, cut into bite size pieces, stem removed 1/3 cup walnuts 1 Granny Smith green apple, cut into bite size pieces 1 cup seedless grapes, cut in half lengthwise Â˝ cup dried cranberries Your favorite raspberry or lemon vinaigrette

Tap cake pa on counter top so the batter evens out and the air bubbles are gone. Bake in a 350-degree oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake completely before frosting with your favorite frosting, or just dust it with powdered sugar.

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist I am what you could call a fan boy. For those that do not know the term, it means I enjoy all these movies based on superheroes. My wife tells me I am like a child. I take that as a compliment. I watch with a sense of wonderment at the visuals and take in the story wholeheartedly, no matter how strange and obscure the story may be presented. In other words, I take it in with the same naivety as a child. This last weekend I was shooting in a national archery

Hill

Continued from page 4A mand. Braver Hund. Thor: Tear, chew, growl, munch, chew. Cop: That’s not it. Oh,

tournament in Cullman, Alabama. I had some equipment issues early on but kept my head in the game and shot fairly well considering. On Sunday, after hitting a called 12 spot on a leopard from 40 yards, I was bouncing with excitement. The day was beautiful, my shot was on (I had the third most 12s on the second day of the tournament), and I had executed a truly tough shot. Again, you could say I acted as a child, but I did not act childish. A few weeks ago, while working on a story for a magazine column I write monthly, I found myself on the coast fishing for sheepshead and some bottom fish. I was having some moderate success and after a while begin fishing with two poles with different baits. I reeled one line in and checked a piece of shrimp on one of the hooks. To my amazement, there was a fish between one and two inches long with a strand of the shrimp in its mouth. I

could not help but break out in a hearty laugh at this sight and held the minnow in my hand. I took a couple of photos, dipped my hand in the water for a bit so it would continue living, and then studied it. I wanted to know all I could about this little ambitious fellow. It was the same intrigue a kid at his first petting zoo would have. With hunting season just a few weeks away, I realize most of the times spent in the stand are much the same way. I listen to the eerie and strange sounds of the darkness imagining what would make the various calls and what they are doing. Only experience enlightens you with that knowledge, and the learning is the fun. I sit in amazement as the groundhog stands and waddles repeatedly on the edge of the field taking in its last meal before entering his den. A lone grey fox trots across the field in the distance. A few birds playfully bounce from branch to branch, chirping and chat-

yea. AUS! AUS! Thor: Dang it. (Thinks it because he doesn’t actually talk) Perp: (Laying lifeless on ground in a bloody pulp.) When’s the last time you fed him? I can’t feel my legs. The Perp is finally

thrown in the back of the Cop’s car and taken downtown, even though there isn’t a downtown in this suburb. –Hill is a columnist with the Post & Voice. Contact her at Regina.Hill@onslow. k12.nc.us.

tering to each other. A raccoon family makes their way down a tree scurrying towards the corn pile. Even the last run of the squirrel from a far off tree back to its nest in the swinging pine nearby brings a brief bit of excitement. Times like that make me never want to grow up. I want to remain a child forever if that is the true feeling. I understand what the professional hunter is doing in those television shows as he holds up the antlers and head of his downed trophy. He is not measuring it in his head at first glance. No, he is connecting with that inner child and admiring and learning about this fantastic creature he has just bested. How much happier could this world be if we all connected to that inner child and enjoyed the simpler things that lie nearby to us?

Old River Farms flea market Aug. 23 By Lori Kirkpatrick Contributing Writer Old River Farms, located off of Hwy.. 117 at 8711 Old River Road in Burgaw, is preparing for a variety of upcoming events. The fully functional working farm will be hosting Flea at the Farm, a community flea market and yard sale, Aug. 23. Families and cottage industries are invited to promote their wares on the farm for a $7 fee. Those interested in participating should call Michael Lanier at 910-616-5884. The 450-acre farm is owned and operated by Dean and Susan Lanier. Previously a dairy farm owned by the Brothers family, the Lanier family grew tobacco, corn, soybeans and peanuts until the 1980â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Since that time, Dean has been innovative in taking the farm in a new direction with a recent focus on agritourism. On a typical day, Dean can be found running a tractor and managing virtually everything going on at the farm. His wife, Susan, books field trips, weddings and private events and handles the direct marketing of their beef. Their son Michael manages the Garden Center and public events, such as their Spring Festival and Fenders at the Farm car show. Their youngest son Benjamin manages the livestock, vegetables and sand mine business. It takes the entire family to keep everything running smoothly. The cattle were born and raised on their farm, and the Laniers have sought to use the healthiest and most humane practices in raising and handling their livestock. No hormones, steroids or antibiotics are used. The farm has had more interested customers than available beef this year. They were able to serve 20 families, while 68 were interested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to have animals that have been humanely raised and processed, Susan said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll only sell what is grown here.â&#x20AC;?

The Garden Center at Old River Farms offers flowering and foliage plants available throughout the spring, summer and early fall; and is open to the general public on Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9 a.m. until 5. At this time of year, Old River Farms is gearing up for educational field trips. They primarily serve students in grades K-5, although they have had visiting high school students, as well. They often work with students from public schools, as well as 4-H organizations, preschools and daycares. The cost of the program is $10 per student, and field trips are tailored to meet the N.C. Common Core and Essential Standards. June Robbins is the educational program director; Charlie Baker is the learning stations coordinator; and Beth Williams, a UNCW teacher in training, assists with the stations. Old River Farms partners with UNCW through the universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s STEM program. The Cape Fear Future Education Leadership Team and the UNCW Watson College of Education work to raise awareness of the importance of Science, Technology, Engineering

and Mathematics (STEM), and facilitate access to STEM programs for educators like Susan. Looking ahead, Fenders at the Farm is scheduled for Nov. 8. This all makes and models car show will be a familyoriented event featuring live music that will include bluegrass and rockabilly into the afternoon. Kids can enjoy free smores and feed the animals, as well. Local food trucks from Catch and Flaming Amyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be available, and a bonfire will be built in the fire pit after sundown. Photo contributed Old River Farms also hosts Educator Charlie Baker points out something special while on a hayride at Old River weddings and private events. Farms. A 6,000 square foot open air shelter, lit with over 1,000 LED lights, sets the perfect atmosphere for after noon weddings to transition into the evening. In addition, a 4,000 square foot enclosed hay barn is also available for receptions or ceremonies.

Pender County Touchstone Jamboree set for Saturday at Trask High School By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The 2014 Touchstone Energy Jamboree is set for this Saturday at Trask High school. This event is viewed as the official opening of high school football in Pender County. The participants in this year’s Jamboree will be the three county high schools along with East Carteret and Swansboro. The Jamboree is used by the counties three high school coaches as a way for their teams to see someone other than their teammates. Often it is the first competitive football they will see before the regular season starts. In years past the teams will run 10 offensive players each for a period of time before they will go in a full game type situation for the remainder of their time. This year’s schedule is as follows: •East Carteret and Pender, 5- 6:20 p.m. •East Carteret and Trask, 6:20-7 p.m. •Swansboro and Topsail, 7-8:20 p.m. •Swansboro and Trask, 8:20-9 p.m.

When long time coach Karen Byrd decided to give up her duties as the head coach of the Heide Trask Titan volleyball team two years ago it was a bit of a culture shock for the young ladies in the program. Most of the girls in the program had played for her since middle school. Athletic Director Ed Gilroy could not find a replacement for Coach Byrd so she agreed to run the program for one more year. Although it was not an easy chore Coach Gilroy has found what he considers a competent replacement in Jessica Ball.

Coach Ball did her internship at the school last year and will be a first year teacher in the science department. While she is new to the teaching business she is hardly new to the game of volleyball. A graduate of Franklinton High School, Ball played volleyball at Louisburg College. She has coached summer volleyball as well as working youth camps. Upon moving to the area she volunteered at Cape fear Community College. That is where she realized that she wanted to coach older kids. “I had always coached young kids. I really liked coaching the older kids.” The young coach thinks that her strengths will come

at being able to teach more advanced fundamentals and plays. “I have been at these camps and I know some of the more advanced aspects of the game,” said Ball. “I want these girls to be fundamentally sound in all aspects of the game and I want to teach them to play at a more advanced level. From what I have seen so far these girls are determined and want to learn.” Coach Ball is eager to get started and has been working the girls hard. “I have a real passion for the game and I have always wanted to do something with the game. I’m excited for this opportunity.”

Tom was a star athlete at his high school. He always outworked his teammates and was slated to attend a division one school upon graduating in the spring of 2013. In August of 2012 he stopped at a convenience store on the way to practice and picked up an energy drink. He had been drinking them all summer while working out in the weight room as well as in his conditioning workouts. On this day things would be different. Fifteen minutes into the practice Tom felt flush. He began to experience shortness of breath and dizziness and less than two minutes later passed out. The team’s athletic trainer along with the coaches converged on him. They performed CPR to no avail. At 17 years old, Tom was dead. This scenario is happening all too often across the country.

Pender Youth Football and Cheer begins seventh season By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Although it has been a wet start to the season it has not damped the spirit of the children wanting to play football and cheer. Pender Youth Football and cheer started six years ago to help Pender County’s youth learn the fundamentals of football and cheerleading. Leaders felt there was a need for a league that was affordable to all children. “We fundraised all year long to supply the participates equipment and uniforms and to keep the registration fee low,” said league official Carla Burbick. The league offers girls and boys from ages five to 12 a chance to learn and grow with the sport while having fun. “Our league is about teaching the children the fundamentals of the game,” said Burbick. “We keep our teams small so there is a lot of one on one

instruction.” The flag division plays 5 -man football. The next age group is the small tackle division which is eight-man football. After that age group they then move up to the large tackle division which is 11man football. Last season that age group went to the second round of the playoffs. The cheerleading program has grown dramatically. They now offer a competition squad. This enables the girls who are more competitive a chance to advance while allowing everyone the opportunity to still cheer. Last season the 9-12 year-old cheerleaders won the regional competition in Greensboro and advanced to the Nationals at ESPN in Disney where they took fourth place. Opening day is Sept. 13 and games will begin at 9 a.m. Pender Youth football and Cheer will be hosting an Adult Flag Tournament on Aug. 30.

Pender Youth Football and Cheer is entering its seventh season of play. The season opens Sept. 13. “These guys really know how to play football,” said Burbick. “Bring the family out for a great day of football and fun. We will have a bounce house, barbecue, and other games to

play.” Anyone interested in playing in the tournament can call 259-4335 for more information or visit Pender Youth Football on Facebook.

Trask Titan soccer on the rise By Bobby Norris

Post & Voice Sports Writer When Dave Glenn took over the Trask men’s soccer program a year ago he had a few changes in mind. One of those changes was to bring a different climate to the program. “Our theme last year was change, “said Glenn. “I told the team last year that we were going to set out to change the nature of the program. I believe we achieved that goal. We grew our wins and our competitiveness. You can ask others and they’ll tell you they’ve seen a change for the good at the school with the program.” As the Titans head into this season the theme is build. Glenn wants to continue the success that the team had last year. “We’re looking to continue to build the identity and cul-

ture of this program. We’re looking to build on the successes of last season. We’re looking to improve our facilities and some of the other tangible facets of the program. It’s an exciting time.” The Titans lost nine seniors from a year ago including keeper Davey Bradshaw, Captain Matt Sherman and talented midfielder Jovani Garcia. Coach Glenn will have to replace the bulk of his starting lineup. However, the cupboard is hardly bare. Senior Ben Grossnickle is back. He may be the best player on the team. He brings a great work ethic and a ton of ability. Fellow senior Martin Ramirez and juniors Greg Sanchez and Carlos Mata are back and will give the team some experience. Coach Glenn has shown an abundance of optimism in regards to his new players.

“The positives have brought some guys out of hiding. I have about a dozen or so upperclassmen that were not part of the program that have come out. Some of them are decent soccer players and many of them are going to contribute regularly. I’m just as excited about the crop of freshmen coming in. There is some great talent in that bunch and it will be fun to watch them grow and play soccer here.” The Four County Conference is one of the toughest 1A conferences in the state. Glenn realizes his work is cut out for him but makes no concessions. “I think we have one of the toughest and most talented 1A conferences in the state. It doesn’t help that we’re split with 2A schools, but it is what it is. Kudos to Mike Graybar and the Bulldogs up

the road at Wallace on their great championship run last November. You have a great 2A program in Clinton. Programs at Midway, Union and East Bladen are well-established and have some strong potential every year. Anytime you play Pender it’s going to be a battle because the boys all know each other.” The Titans have scrimmages at home against Whiteville and Hoggard on Aug. 12 and Aug. 14 respectively. They start their regular season at North Brunswick on Aug. 18 at 4:30 p.m., before a return match on Aug. 25 at 6 p.m. They also face a strong Southwest Onslow program twice. They were 1A State Champs in 2012 before going to 2A in 2013. They will open conference play against defending 1A state champions Wallace-Rose Hill on Sept. 8 at Trask.

Pender County’s Most Comprehensive Fishing Report

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Angling Expert Rainy weather spells slow freshwater fishing

The fresh water anglers in the area are not happy with the wet weather we have had as of late. The river is extremely high and it has affected the fishing. A few anglers have battled the weather and have found a few panfish for the taking. The bream are biting red worms around structures and grassy areas. Remember to adjust your depth in high waters. The cats are biting cut up eel and chicken livers. Remember that early and late is the phrase of all good fresh water anglers. Saltwater fishing The salt water anglers are raving about the flatfish bite around the inlets

and structures. Live finger mullet and menhaden are working here. The red fish are on fire in the bays and marshes in the area. Gulp baits will do the trick along with select topwater baits. The specks will hit the same baits and are on the flats as well. This week’s fishing tip Your son is about five years old and he is ready to be taken on his first real fishing trip. Where are you going to take him? The local pond or even the river is the best place to go. Get you some red worms and go after the always fun to catch bream. Lest go over what you will need for the little fella’s first trip. Most anglers opt for a light spincast combo or a cane pole rigged with 2-8pound-test line. Don’t forget the trusty Zebco 202. Some bobbers, small hooks, split shot and a box of red worms round out the gear. Remember that bream have

small mouths. A big hook is the worst thing you can use. Bream feed at all levels, eating on the bottom, picking food from aquatic vegetation at mid-depths and taking insects on the surface. They may be buried in dense cover or in relatively open water. They usually bit around dusk or dawn. Bream are cover lovers: They rarely venture far from areas providing protection from predators, a ready food supply and shelter from intense sunlight. Concentrate your fishing in areas supplying these needs. Work around weed beds, brush piles, fallen or standing timber, boat docks, riprapped banks, stumps and other cover. Be patient. If the fish aren’t biting just relax and wait. They will start biting sooner or later and you know the old say that bad day fishing is better than a good day at work.

Jessup is a key player for the Topsail Pirates

As a youngster playing different sports, I played for a lot of different coaches. I realized at a young age that each coach has his or her own style. Later in life I began to coach and soon found my own style. My first attempt at coaching, believe it or not, was as a 12-year-old little league baseball player. We were set to have a scrimmage and our coach was held up and was unable to be there at the last minute. The other team decided to play it anyway and asked if one of us older kids would coach third base. I volunteered and it was a go. I guess it was about the third inning and I had enough of the umpire’s strike zone and began to argue. Now you’re talking about a kid that would win at all costs. I had watched a thousand major league games and had watched coaches throw all kinds of fits. After a few more of what I considered bad calls I began to argue once again. I then did my best Earl Weaver imitation. I threw my hat on the ground and began to kick it. Needless to say I was removed from the field. At the conclusion of the season I was left off of the all-star team despite leading my team in batting and pitching – bad attitude they said. There are a lot of different styles of coaching out there. There is the screamer. He screams and yells at the drop of the hat. While he usually does not scream at a player for making a mistake the first time he will explode if you make the same mistake over and over. I have played for that coach. Heck, I have been that coach. Then there is the intimidator. I don’t know why but the late Jack Holley seems to me to be one of these guys. I never had the privilege of being around Coach Holley very much but I can tell you that he intimidated me. Everyone that played for him seems to have a Jack Holley story. I even have a Jack Holley story. My good friend Ron Watson and I worked together for years. When Jack went to Harrells there were people that thought he took some of

Hooper is a pure athlete at Pender High

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

A s a ju n i or Kyl i H u f f earned a spot on the Heide Trask varsity volleyball team through hard work and dedication. A year later she is preparing for her senior year under the direction of a new coach. This should not be a problem for Huff as she has worked diligently on her game and has become an important part of the Heide Trask Titan varsity volleyball team in 2014. Toward the middle of last season Kyli became a very good player at the net as well as on the back line. She was among the leaders in digs and assists in many games. She made a ton of progress in a short period of time. As the season grows near Kyli will work hard to prepare herself for the rigors of high school volleyball. As a senior she will counted on to play hard and be a steady influence on her younger teammates.

When senior running back Josh Jessup touches the football there is a good bet that there is going to be a collision. Jessup does not concern himself with running around the defenders. He looks to inflict damage on anyone that tries to slow him down. That is what a fullback does. This season the Pirates will have the luxury of having Coach Wayne Inman for a full year. The Pirates were a run only team last year but hopes to use a more balanced attack this year. That should open things up for the bullish Jessup. The Pirates will embark on their second journey through the tough Mideastern Conference in a few weeks. One of the keys to their success will be the power running of Josh Jessup. My bet is that he steps up to the table in a big way. He will be a key player for the Pirates.

When Justin Hooper entered Pender High School as a freshman, he came with much fanfare. He was a talented middle school running back that made plays in every game he participated in. But high school football is a different animal. A year later Hooper appears to be bigger and stronger. He seems to have adapted to the rigors of high school athletics. The young Patriot running back has the speed and elusiveness to become one of Pender’s go-to players. He has the ability to make people miss. That is what the Patriot coaching staff is counting on. With just over two weeks to go before the season starts and a week before the Touchstone Jamboree is played the Patriots are gearing up for action. Hooper appears to be in the Patriots plans this year. Justin Hooper is a pure athlete for the Pender Patriots.

Wallace-Rose Hill’s players with him. I wrote a story about it and while I did not accuse him of anything I just stated the facts. Jack took offense to that story. A couple of weeks later Ron went to Harrells to interview Holley and when he got there he found him in the weight room. Ron walked up and stuck his hand out and said hey Coach Holley I am Ron Watson from the newspaper. Without speaking Jack turned his back on Ron. Ron walked around to the other side and Jack again turned his back on him and told him in no uncertain terms that he was a liar and he didn’t talk to liars. Ron tried to explain to him that we didn’t accuse him of anything but the coach never looked at him. I find it kind of funny that although the man was intimidating to some he was beloved by his former players. I have been told by some of his former players that he would give them the shirt off of his back. I guess Coach Holley was old school. I can respect that. Then there is the quiet one. This type of coach rarely yells but demands respect none the less. Karen Byrd is one of those coaches as is Hill Pearsall at Topsail. I think that Trask soccer coach Dave Glenn fits that mold as well. Then there are the hybrids. Those coaches that have more than one of those characteristics. All three of our high school men’s basketball coaches fit this mold. Jeff Gainey has all three of these traits. I have watched him explode and I have watched him intimidate. I have also watched him sit quietly through a second half of a game and not say a word. Coach Gainey is a good coach with a strong will to win. Rodney Orr has two of the traits. I have watched him scream and holler at a player for doing something stupid and then three minutes later hug the kid and give him words of encouragement. He tends to be quiet at times as well. Sorry coach, you’re not so intimidating. Coach Battle is also gifted with all three traits. I find some of Coach Battle’s tirades to be quite comical. The kids love him and he gets results. I could go on and on about the different types of coaches in our area but I am running out of space. What kind of coach are you? –Norris is a sports writer for the Post & Voice.

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Wednesday, August 13, 2014, Page 7B

Surfing competition a family affair By Jeff Reid Special to the Post & Voice What started out as a high school community service project g rew into one of most anticipated late summer events on Topsail Island. Surfers from ages 10 to 64 competed to raise money for the National MS Society in Raleigh Aug. 9. Surfing to Stop MS is a nonprofit founded by Joey Grant as a Topsail High senior in 2012. Grant has a friend with multiple sclerosis and wanted to donate to the MS Society. On Saturday the organization hosted the third annual Surfing to Stop MS contest at Onslow Beach Access two in North Topsail. The group operates with support from the MS Society to raise awareness and funds for those diagnosed with Mul-

tiple Sclerosis. MS afflicts more than two million people worldwide and all funds raised go directly to the MS Society to help find treatment and hopefully, one day, a cure for the disease. During its inaugural year, the non-profit raised several hundred dollars and in 2013, a little more than $2,000. This year’s event is on track to surpass the past two years’ proceeds. Even though the competition was cut to one day instead of two because of a lack of surfers, Grant seemed pleased with Saturday’s fundraiser. “I’m really happy with the overall results. We don’t have a final dollar amount but as of now we are at $2,474 and it will keep going up. I wish more people would have tur ned out. I think it was due to the weather. We had a hurricane

last year – maybe one year the sun will shine.” Although conditions for surfing weren’t ideal on Saturday, it didn’t seem as if anyone minded. From the event to the awards ceremony at the Crab Pot in Surf City, there was a sense of family in the air. Dads helped the younger ones back on their boards when they fell while Moms cheered for their children from the beach. Grant’s family was instrumental in the success of the event. His mother, Jean Pollard, and his fiancée Emily Newport along with aunts and uncles and even his grandparents helped with everything from set up and take down of the tents to tallying scores. Another family also made a big impact at Saturday’s event – the Griffeth family from Surf City. Dave Griffeth finished

second in the Men’s Over 17 short board while Tessa Griffeth finished second in the Women’s division. 10-year-old Hunter Griffeth finished third in the 16 and under longboard. Another son Holden also competed. Liz Sadler, 64, won the Women’s division and Callie Summerlin bested the boys to win the 16 and under short board completion. Stephen Olmstead was the Men’s longboard winner and Zeke Hartner finished first the Men’s short board Over 17 division. Next year’s event is already in the planning stages. Grant, an avid surfer, said he is thinking about moving the event to September next year when the waves are more suitable for surfing. Eventually he would like the annual fundraiser to become a more serious competition.

Energy drink

Continued from page 1B cause. “I don’t want to be out there performing CPR on a kid in front of his family and friends. I want them to steer clear of these drinks.” Energy drink companies are known to market their products using flashy labels, trendy names, and imagery, ultimately appealing to a younger crowd. A prospective athlete is looking for any advantage that they can get and energy drinks seem to fit the bill of an added advantage. But the adverse effects that have been associated with these drinks far outweigh the advantages that they bring. Emergency room visits due to energ y drink consumption has increased by 1,000 percent since 2007. The potent drinks can cause everything from nervousness and nausea to chest pains and dangerous arrhythmias. An athlete that drinks an energy drink and then works out for an extended period of time could be putting their life at risk. Heath put it to his athletes in plain terms. “I don’t want to hear of any of you drinking that crap. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. That’s the best thing for you.”
