With beautiful weather for the holiday weekend, Memorial Day beachgoers crowded Pender County beaches and got cash registers ringing as the summer season began on a high note. Surf City officials braced for the crowds that visit the island during the holiday weekend. “It was a challenge, but a good challenge,” said Surf City Mayor Zander Guy. “Challenge is a learning curve, and we had a very steep learning curve last weekend. It was good for the merchants and good for

business.” Guy said there was a lot on congestion and delays due to traffic, as is expected on a Memorial Day weekend with good weather. “When you are on an island that is three-quarters of a mile wide and 26 miles long and there are only two ways to get on and off, we are grateful that people think that much of us to come here,” Guy said. “The weather was picture-perfect and I got some emails from people from folks about the traffic problems and I tried to address them and tell them what we are trying to do. Every year, it’s a learning process.”
Work progresses on Burgaw restaurants From Staff Reports Taco Bell developers have submitted a traffic impact analysis for the site beside McDonalds in Burgaw. “I think if they are doing a traffic impact analysis, they are serious about the location,” said Burgaw Planning Director Rebekah Roth. “The biggest issue along that corridor is traffic. It’s an early hurdle as well.
The traffic conflicts at that intersection come into play regardless of what business is there. We will have to see what they are able to do with the recommendations.” Bojangles contractors have removed the house formerly on the site are have cleared the land. “They have all their permits in place,” Roth said.

Balanced budget, no tax increase for Burgaw By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher The town of Burgaw will have a balanced budget with no increase in taxes for the
upcoming fiscal year, according to town manager Chad McEwen. Town residents will see an increase in sewer rates, thanks to a rate hike from Wallace. “There will be an increase of 10 percent in sewer rates. That will not affect water rates,” McEwen said. “We had a budget workshop Wednesday and the proposed budget is balanced and contains no tax increase. There is no net increase in the number of town employees and the fund balances are still strong. It’s been a relatively smooth process – one of the easier budgets to
get together.” Burgaw has been wrangling with Wallace for months over the sewer rate increase. McEwen says town officials are still not satisfied with Wallace’s explanation for the increase. “We are still going through the information we requested from Wallace. We are trying to work through it so we can all understand the justification for the increase. We are not there yet,” McEwen said. “We shouldn’t be treated as any other customer. We built the collection system all the way to Wallace. We should only deal with actual increases in
operating costs at the waste water plant. Every other expense should be factored out except the pure treatment cost at the plant.” Progress on police chief search McEwen says the town has received 25 to 30 applications for the chief of police position and he is working through the applications. “We have several potential applicants for chief that we are interested in interviewing. For the patrol positions, we have several candidates we have interviewed and we are doing

Walmart grant helps with local child hunger project By Beth Gaglione Special to the Post & Voice Churches and nonprofits in three counties are coming together to serve the needs of hungry children in our region. Pender County Schools and Pender County Christian Services are a part of the collaborative, along with a church in Burgaw and a church in
Surf City. United Way of the Cape Fear Area has been awarded a $75,000 grant from the Walmart Foundation to help fund a backpack collaborative which serves Pender, Brunswick, and New Hanover counties. With 15,000 children living in poverty in these three counties, United Way, along with the Food Bank of Central and Eastern North Carolina
at Wilmington, has partnered with established school Backpack Programs to help identify and increase the reach to children who have little to no food each weekend. With the help of three county-specific backpack programs and many community volunteers, children in need are sent home each weekend with backpacks full of easyto-prepare foods and staples,
allowing them to return to school on Monday without hunger and ready to learn. County Backpack partners include: Pender County Schools and Pender County Christian Services, Brunswick County Schools, Mathews Ministries, New Hanover County Schools and Nourish NC, as well as many community volunteers.
Topsail Beach opts for recycling dumpster By Tammy Proctor Post & Voice Staff Writer Topsail Beach town commissioners opted to add one more dumpster for recycling purposes with hopes of adding curbside recycling in years to come. At the May 13 commissioners’ meeting, the board approved a motion to accept a state grant to add one Dumpster for items that can be recycled. They also approved pouring a new concrete pad and fencing at the site, pending the approval of the Topsail Island Historical Society.
“We will still look at curbside recycling in the future,� said Howard Braxton, mayor of Topsail Beach. Commissioner Tom Eggleston inquired regarding the cost of curbside recycling, which included the cost of special containers, a recycling fee and tipping fees. The commissioners all agreed the cost seemed more expensive in light of a state grant to add a Dumpster. In other business, the commissioners agreed to advertise for bids on the former sea turtle hospital property and building.
Eggleston said the property is listed “as is.� According to commissioners a buyer could build on the property provided the same building footprint is kept. Commissioner Larry Combs expressed concer n that the town was selling land it will not be able to get back if needed in the future. “We’re releasing property we can’t get back,� he said. The property is south of the town hall, at Bush Marina. In another property matter, commissioners approved renovations to the front wall
of the town hall. Other announcements from the May meeting included a congratulations from the mayor. He said Quarter Moon Books, Gifts and Wine Bar is celebrating their 20th anniversary of doing business in Topsail Beach. Dottie Netherton announced Pillage the Village, a weekly artisans fair, will return each Thursday through the summer starting June 4, 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Admission is free. Pillage the Village is located in the field near the Town Center Park and Missiles and More Museum.

Body cameras protect officers and public While there are questions still to be answered, the concept of equipping law enforcement with body cameras bears far more merit than criticism. The cameras are in use in departments across the nation. They simply record the events as raw, unedited video, Body cameras can help which cannot be tampered everyone involved in a with by officers or investigacriminal case, from detertors. While we have confimining the actions of the dence that most law enforcearresting or investigating ment officers would never do officers to helping exonersuch a thing, it’s a powerful ate or convict a suspect. tool that helps counter that claim by the unscrupulous— be they defense attorneys, criminal suspects or police critics. It’s important to note that the cameras are an objective view of the events from the officer’s perspective as well. Legal decisions are supposed to be based on the facts as presented, although the judgment – really the informed, thought-out opinions -- of the bench and the jury end up playing a role that can be influenced by the arguments of either the prosecution or defense. Civil libertarians who complain about privacy rights should take note that in a free society, anyone with a cellular phone or a digital camera would be able to record much of the same footage as the body cameras, albeit from a different perspective. Video of an investigation or arrest – or any encounter between law enforcement and a suspect – can provide nearly incontrovertible evidence of what actually happened. Since the guilt or innocence of the individual charged is the most important burden carried into the courtroom, providing an objective tool that can be used in this manner is another step in a truly even-handed decision based on the law, not the courtroom skills of either side. It’s significant that those who are the loudest critics of police officers are among the groups objecting to the wider use of body cameras. Some even claim that officers intent on ill deeds will simply turn their cameras off when they decide to go off the books on an arrest. While this could happen— it would also draw even more scrutiny toward the officer in question. It should be noted that in our state alone, the towns and cities that are using body cameras have followed the national trend and seen a decline in complains of police brutality. Some have even seen a rise in convictions, as officers can back up their version of events with a video. Across the nation, some cities have even seen a drop in crimes against police officers (usually assaults that are secondary to the initial crimes under investigation.) We sincerely hope our local agencies will look deeper into the possibility of using body cameras, both for the safety of officers and the general public. There are funding questions to be answered, of course – austerity measures by the state make it unlikely we’ll see many additional grant funds from Raleigh, and the highly-touted federal body camera program doesn’t provide enough money to make a difference on a national level. As the market for the cameras improves, manufacturers should respond. As new devices evolve, technology always trends toward higher quality for lower prices. We sincerely hope that in this case, that evolution is speeded up. Body cameras can help everyone involved in a criminal case, from determining the actions of the arresting or investigating officers to helping exonerate or convict a suspect. If the funding issues can be resolved, we can see where the cameras would have just as important of a place on an officer’s equipment list as a sidearm, badge, handcuffs and radio.

Tom Campbell
Trapped in my own home After 31 years living in the same home my wife and I decided to downsize and simplify our lives. The maelstrom we got as a result was frustrating, time consuming, expensive and anything but simple. Regulation reformers have been beating the drum for change for years, but I didn’t understand until undergoing this home remodeling. Our contractor and his subcontractors had to apply for no less than six permits, adding more than $500 to the costs of remodeling. There were more than 21 inspections by my count, adding costs and delays waiting on the necessary inspection in order to proceed. Some of the regulations demonstrate once again that
common sense isn’t common. For example, the electrical panel was reversed so as to face into the garage. It was very accessible, free of obstruction and anyone at least five feet tall could easily turn off the main breaker, or any of the breakers in the panel. But the building code says the main breaker cannot be higher than 6 feet 7 inches above the floor, so we were required to build a 30x37 inch wooden platform permanently secured to the wall, an unsightly box that prevented the door from the patio from opening into the garage. Electrical receptacles anywhere near plumbing have to be equipped with arc fault plugs, meaning that if any appliance creates an arc it trips the circuit breaker. Thank God we now have a sturdy platform to reset it. The light inside our shower had one of those ground fault devices, requiring us to push the tiny GFI button to turn the light on and off. We stand a better chance of getting an electrical shock from stepping out of the shower trying to turn the shower light off using that switch. We paid to have it removed after the inspection. But the icing on the cake was the unreasonable requirement that any door leading outside to the swimming pool had to be equipped with a door alarm. I was told this was so that tiny persons

The land of wolves The boy had to stretch a little to make it atop the vinyl-covered stool, and he had to stretch to reach the scarred Formica counter top. Like most diners of the era, cigarette smoke and the smell of the lunch special dominated the air. The boy had about a dollar, and he knew he could get a Coke on ice and have some change left. He was hot, his feet hurt from his cowboy boots, and the restaurant was busy. The waitress was in the middle of the mill lunch period, and didn’t have time for a dusty boy. The boy waited patiently. He wasn’t scared, because he knew who to ask for help as soon as the man came through the door. The cadaverously thin police sergeant with white Elvis hair sat down beside him. “Hot, ain’t it?” “Yessir. Can you call my dad?” The cop looked at him sideways. “You run away from home, boy?” “No, sir,” the boy said. “My daddy always said, if I ever need help, find a policeman.” He went on to explain that he had caught a ride to a friend’s house on the edge of town, but no one was home. He lived in the next town over, so he walked to the diner, the only other place he knew was open, since the barbershop was closed on a Wednesday. More than 20 years later, that officer regularly reminded me of how we first met. I have known some bad cops. One or two rebuilt their lives after their misdeeds came to light. Some went to jail. At least one, maybe two, were likely victims of politics, rather than malpractice. A few even skirted being fired or charged with crimes, and were able to retire. I have known some bad cops – as a reporter, it’s inevitable that you occasional run across them. But the bad apples make up only the tiniest percentage of the officers I have known and occasional-
Jefferson Weaver ly called friends in the three decades I’ve been in the news business. I do not have the courage, patience or selflessness to be a policeman; I doubt most of us do. Every officer out there is faced with the reality that he or she might someday have to stand between danger and someone who not only doesn’t appreciate the police, but actively dislikes anyone with a badge. By no means would I try to excuse the bad behavior – or in most cases, alleged bad behavior – of a crooked law enforcement officer. They take an oath to be held to a higher standard, and that standard should always be met and exceeded. Indeed, people often get angry over their child’s arrest, when it was the result not of the policeman’s actions, but poor parenting. That’s when a law enforcement officer has to be his or her most professional. I cannot comprehend why it’s cool to write songs and make movies glamorizing the murder of police officers, any more than I can understand why there is an immediate assumption of guilt on the part of the cop when someone is hurt by a law enforcement officers. Common sense tells me that if the officer with the authority to question my actions gives me a legal reasonable instruction, I need to be polite and respect-
ful, even if I disagree with him. Most officers I know and have known practice a lot of on-the-spot discretion; if it weren’t for that good judgment, the jails would be a dozen times as full as they are right now. Good manners go a long way. Something that really confuses me is why, if someone is physically threatening a police officer or another person with a weapon (be it their hands or a machine gun) that suspect or his family is surprised or offended that the suspect’s quite likely to be injured, if not killed. If I insist on touching a hot stove, despite being told not to do so, I’ll get burned, and it’s my own fault. If I were to refuse to put down a weapon when told to do so by a policeman, there’s a better than average chance that the one with the best training, who did everything right, and should have the law his side, is likely the one going home. Folks who can’t understand that actions have consequences don’t need to be killed, unless there’s no other alternative, but they don’t need to be coddled and allowed to hurt and kill others, either. The officer’s number one job is to protect the public, then himself. Last on the list is protecting the life and health of someone who has decided to break the laws designed to protect him and the rest of the general public. That’s how it should be, in my opinion. Yet we have a new culture, one where the officer making the split-second decision has to put aside the distractions that he or she can quickly become a national enemy, unemployed or even charged with murder for killin’ someone who quite possibly needed, or at least deserved, killin’. Even if the officer is cleared for a shooting or other injury, the vulturine nature of the civil process means he or she can

I pulled scissors to my husband’s rock as we had to decide who would be taking my son to the local urgent care on a, dreary Sunday afternoon. All around people were hacking and coughing and sneezing and I could almost feel the collective bacteria in the air, swarming about like a fog of vaporous mucous, ready to infect any sinus passage crossing its path. It is important to locate the gatekeeper of this medical facility, as being seen early is of the upmost importance in this game of “pass the germs.” In the case of my local urgent care, it is the receptionist who also serves as triage gatekeeper. She gives the once over to the afflicted and determines the urgency of the patient’s ailments. Walking in with, say, a 20-inch tumor hanging from your left ear will prompt an, “Oh my, let’s go ahead and take you back,” whereas a raspy cough and occasional sneeze might set you back at least three to four hours. I, for one, didn’t have that sort of time to waste so I was in a bit of a quandary when I was the one tasked with attending to my son’s medical needs that day. I knew he was sick and overridden with mucosa, but how would he rate to the triage bouncer? Jacob was walking on his own, unfortunately, and was breathing and whatnot but I didn’t think his manly efforts at appearing tough would help us get seen quickly. Approaching the receptionist, I explained how weak and sickly my poor son was and that he was having a hard time breathing – which was true because his breath smelled like that of a nonbrushing fanged dragon and he didn’t want to offend. After peering down at the receptionist with a look of fear in my eyes, she put on her “Madame Triage” hat and then asked Jacob to step to the back. He was in and I felt no remorse for the fact that he beat out a severed limb and concussed football player. I whispered, “collapse in a heap and you can get a double cheeseburger and large fries when we leave this den of nasty.” Jacob looked at me with confusion as I gave him my knowing wink. Apparently, he had a lot of time to waste which was a good thing because, unbeknownst to me, the medical personnel check the claims of the ill with a little gadget called the pulse oximeter. The little machine called me out as it indicated that Jacob had plenty of oxygen flowing through his veins. The triage nazi then gave me the up and down look as if to say, “Nice try.” So I gave Jacob my look that screamed, “Come on, not even one convulsion? Thanks guy. It’s a PB&J lunch for you today.” Laying the back of my hand across my brow, I whispered to Triage Mary, “Thank you for this miracle. He’s breathing now. Our crisis

Newsings & Musings
By Edith Batson Post & Voice Staff Writer Happy birthday Well-wishes filled St. Josephs Parish Hall Saturday at 2 p.m. Dorothy Naumuk celebrated her 90th birthday with a party given by her daughter, Mary Ann Frear of Lancaster, Ohio, and her son Paul, who lives in Wilmington. Tables for the event were covered with pink cloths and decorated with lighted tapers. Pink plates and cups and decorations were used throughout the hall. The party lasted from 2 until 4 p.m. and everyone seemed to know most of the guests. This gave everyone a change to visit with long-time friends, church members, hospital friends and other guests, as well as spending time chatting with the honoree. Dorothy worked as a nurse anesthetist at Pender Memorial Hospital for 34 years. The hospital opened in May, 1951. Soon after that Dorothy received more training and took over the very responsible position of nurse anesthetist. A group of hospital retirees meets once a quarter at Heritage Place for lunch and a brief meeting. It is good to keep in touch with former employees. My work there (at PMH) was as activity director on Two West in the skilled nursing facility for 10 years as a part-time worker. The second floor was added to the hospital in 1985. congratulations to Dorothy Naumuk on reaching
this milestone in her life. Thanks for letting us share in your special birthday. Class of 1945 Eight members of the Burgaw High School Class of 1945 gathered at Szechuyan Pavilion Friday for lunch. They try to meet each year, though the group gets smaller and smaller each year. it is still good to get together with classmates after all these years. Those attending were Ann Debaylo Mizerak of Burgaw, Jean Zandy Fibler of Wernersville, Pa., Victoria Harrell Teal of Burgaw, Thelma Van Hoy Brown Wells of Burgaw, Nora Jones Rivenbark of Burgaw, Lora Mae Jones Henderson of Maple Hill, Cleta Jennette McLendon of Burgaw, whose husband George was in the class, and Emma Dean Simmons Bass of Durham. All enjoyed their lunch as well as visiting with each other for several hours. I could not stay for the lunch because I thought it was Saturday and I had another party to attend. Arthur was in the class of 1944 and he and I were married for many years. Memorial Day Memorial Day is a day when we who know we are free, owe that freedom to those in the military who have given their lives that we could still enjoy living in a free country. Freedom brings with it responsibilities, and our young men and women in the military have sacrificed their very lives for our freedom. Many years ago, when
my mother had three of her five sons in World War II, someone asked her about praying for her sons. She said “How can I pray just for my sons, when there are so many more putting their lives on the line for us.� She prayed for all the service men and women. She was fortunate in that all three sons came home from the war unscathed. Another son was in the Korean Conflict and another in peacetime service in the U.S. Navy. Both also came through their service years as well. My mother and daddy felt very blessed, but their hearts went out to all those who had made the ultimate sacrifice for us. During the war years, there was not a Sunday when we did not have two or three service people at our dinner table. I probably have mentioned this before, but one soldier always brought his accordion. We would sit on the front porch after dinner and begin to play. People all over the neighborhood would come by to listen. If the porch was full, they would sit on the wall Those were pleasant Sunday afternoons and the soldier felt he was at home playing in his own neighborhood. Did I ever tell you about the boy who would spend a lot of time talking to me at the USO in Wilmington as i worked the food cash register? He said his name was Norman Jones. The night before he shipped out, he said he had something to tell me. His name was

Do not get me wrong— officers who make heinous mistakes should be punished, but whether or not their decision was the right one needs to be decided in a courtroom, not in the media. After all, the people they arrest are generally allowed their day in court, and it’s often paid for by the taxpayer. I just have to wonder where we would be if all the police officers, Highway Patrol troopers, deputies, Wildlife officers, state and federal drug agents,

I laughted and told him we had a Jewish family living two doors from us, but they would not associate with us. We were not allowed to play with their children. When her husband died, my mother took here some food to show her sympathy. She accepted the food but seemed overwhelmed that this neighbor would do that. Norman wrote to me several times after he wen overseas, but i never learned if he came home from the war. I still have
pictures that he sent me from overseas. Years later when my mother and I were in New York City, I tried to look him up in the phone book, but there must have been thousands by the same name. People come into our lives temporarily and we never see them again. I was glad he told me his real name, but it hurt me to think others must have be very prejudiced to him and he felt I would reject him if I knew he was Jewish. If it had not been for the Jews, we would not be Christians today. Jesus told his disciples to go to the Jews first and then to the
gentiles. Remember, God so loved the world that He gave His only Son to die on the cross for all who believe in Him, Jesus Christ, as their Savior and Lord. Imagine having Him take our sins and throw them in the ocean of his his forgiveness, never to be remembered again. All He asked of us was that we believe He (jesus) was the son of the only true God and we asked Him to forgive us of our sins. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no man comes unto the Father but by me.� Shalom.
the meantime, I felt trapped in my own home. There are, no doubt, many unscrupulous people masquerading as builders, who prey on gullible customers, but most of the bad apples aren’t going bother getting licensed anyway and remain in business by
refusing to get the permits or submitting to the inspections. You can regulate until you’re blue in the face but you’re not going to stop those shysters. The good, ethical contractors, the ones really wanting to do the right things tolerate these shenanigans, but
of course they pass along the costs of permitting and time involved in inspections to their customers. To be sure there are some regulations that make sense and are necessary. Let’s keep them. But we have gone slam overboard in trying to protect ourselves from our-
selves. We need regulation reform. Tom Campbell is former assistant North Carolina State Treasurer and is creator/host of NC SPIN, a weekly statewide television discussion of NC issues. NC Spin airs Sundays at 8 a.m. on WILM-TV.
they could muster. The problem with going to the urgent care doctor when you are at your absolute grossest is the prospect that the attending physician will be gorgeous. That happened to me during a recent, horrible bout of bronchitis. I looked horrible! The Triage Nazi would have even given pause. I tried to clean up the best I could when I readied myself to enter the Urgent Care office. But, alas, the tube of gloss that I kept applying ran like a river to my chin, pooling and unable to penetrate the hardened skin plates on my dehydrated lips. Having glazed eyes and frizzy hair only added to my look of total unattractiveness,
so there was nothing that I could do when this Adonislike creature entered my treatment room. This man was tall and oh so handsome, with little baby chest hairs peeking out from his scrubs. I wanted to crawl out of the room but there was no leaving this situation. Charm was the only thing I had going for me and that was difficult to muster with a stuffed head and bloated face. Thank goodness I had the foresight to eat a candy cane before he walked in, because the incessant mouth breathing that I had been experiencing was having an ill effect on my normally fresh breath. So, when he asked if my tongue was normally blue,

detectives, and local officers decided at one time that it just ain’t worth it, and walked out. So many of the same people who scream about police brutality and abuse and militarization are the same ones who are incapable or unwilling to stand up and defend even their own homes, much less their communities. They regularly kick the sheepdogs who guard them. Yet – professional law enforcement officers just shrug and drive on. I doubt my skin is thick enough to accept the abuse many of them receive, both on the national and personal scale. By the time you read this, the mother of a newborn child will be buried in the Midwest. She was a police officer, and was assassinated, killed from
ambush, a trend which is somehow becoming acceptable in some parts of society. There likely won’t be a federal inquiry into her death. I’m sure there won’t be protests, or riots, or burned vehicles, or lofty insults from the floor of the United Nations. Her little girl will grow up without a mother, but I’m willing to bet, when that baby becomes a child, and finds herself in trouble – she won’t call out for a national politician, a movie star or a gangster. She’ll call out for a police officer, and I’m sure one will be there, for her and every other kid who needs a friend, a confidante and a sheep dog in this land of wolves. –Weaver is a columnist with the Post & Voice.

I was able to pull a little humor from the reserves by responding, “Only when I eat blue candy canes.� Thank goodness he didn’t ask about my bathroom habits, although I had a major urge to tell him about my “strong constitution,� simply because I thought that would be impressive and I’ve always wanted to say it. The only thing worse would have been disrobing, as I had not shaved for a week due to my sickened state. Plus, my sweaty feet had created a cesspool and I hoped among hopes that he would not want to look at my feet. A girl can maintain only so much of herself before it becomes completely overwhelming. So, sniff sniff, cough cough. Hopefully, we will all be on the mend soon.

Working in the film business: On the set
Bill Messer In the earlier interview, Joe McGuire told me how he got into the movie business, and now I asked about what kind of work he does. “I used to be, when I was young, a more rounded person in my field. In my earlier time, I used to spend a lot of time working with the camera, and now I’m working before the camera and after the camera. I’m not one to stand around, sometimes you’ll stand around for thirty minutes and then go crazy for ten minutes. I’m just not good that way, but I did need the experience of being on set, so I know what the camera’s lookin’ at, how things are framed, how it’s gonna’ show up. That makes me a better . . . so when I’m doin’ something I can see how the camera’s going to see it. “You started out working as a security person, then a ‘lead man’ hired you on to his project.� “Yeah,� Joe continues. “It was ‘set decoration’, he was the lead man for the decorator. The decorator, in turn, works for a production designer. Equal with the set decorator is the art director. The art director handles all the construction, paint, and the set decorator takes the script and ‘vision’ and tries to make that happen. “My first job was set decorator in the ‘swing gang’.� “Alright,� I thought out loud, “what does a set decorator do?� Joe looked around and said, “OK, let’s say you need a coffee shop. The carpenters are going to build a set, the walls and floor and cabinets, and the painters will come in and paint it, and if there was plaster work, they would come in, and then we’d come in. We are the last person to touch a set before the camera gets there. We’d hang the pictures, do the lighting, the furniture, whatever it takes to make it look like what it’s supposed to. “Like, we were down in Atlanta, and we had four streets, and we had to make it look like a bomb had just gone off. This (the coffee shop set) isn’t anything I’d call complicated, but you’d still have to get all

Joe McGuire show off the massive aluminum sculpture used in Iron Man 3 the pieces right. The devil is in the details.� When it’s all done, he said, there’s only few minutes to admire their work, “And then here come the grips (lighting and rigging technicians), and the camera, and they’re going to tear it up. Not tear it up, really, but they’re going to have to move things so the camera can get in, put down the dolly track, hang the lights. “I had worked on Iron Man 3 and they had brought in this sculptor, a gentleman from Israel, to do this ‘dimensional’ piece, a hanging sculpture, he came with his . . . he had an architect who worked with him, and he had a ‘muse’ ...� “A real muse?� I was astonished. “Yes, and I was tasked with working with him to put this sculpture together. It was in a big ring, It was made out of aluminum, flat aluminum, anywhere from four foot to eight foot, and they hung at certain angles. It took about two weeks to do, one of the coolest things I’ve ever done. I became part of their team. And once we’d done all the filming, the house called for it to be demolished, and this house they built on set was just unbelievable, because it actually folded, on gimbals and hydraulics, 40,000 pounds that rolled, some of the neatest stuff I’ve ever seen, so it called for that sculpture to be down, so we went in there at 5:30 in the morning and got above it, it was all hanging on tiny aircraft cable, and (he gestures with both arms, like using big wire cutters) cut it down, just let it fall. That was it, it was done. “I’m going back to work on Monday, we’re working on Sleepy Hollow, filmed for two years here, and it’s all going to Atlanta, and we have to send all that. “On my first job, my three weeks he promised me turned into three months.

Were you in a union?� I asked. “No, no, we didn’t have unions. (It was more like a job description) I was a utility guy, labor.

Finding a new doctor Dear Savvy Senior, What resources can you recommend to help me find and research some doctors in my area? I’m looking for a good primary care doctor or internist for my elderly parents, and need to locate a good orthopedic doctor for me. Shopping for doctors Dear Shopping, Thanks to the Internet, finding and researching doctors is a lot easier than it use to be. Today, there’s a wide variety of websites you can turn to that provide databases of U.S. doctors, their professional medical histories, and ratings and reviews from past patients on a number of criteria. Here are some of the best sites available, along with a few additional tips that can help you find the right doctors. Locating tips To help you locate some doctors in your area, a good first step, and one that doesn’t require a computer, is to ask for a referral. Contact some other doctors, nurses, or health care professionals that you know, for some names of doctors or practices that they like and trust. You should also call your insurance provider, or visit their website directory to get a list of potential candidates. If you or your parents are Medicare beneficiaries, you can use the Physician Compare tool at medicare. gov/physiciancompare. This will let you find doctors by name, medical specialty or by geographic location that accept original Medicare. You can also get this information
by calling Medicare at 800633-4227. Once you find a few doctors, you need to call their office to verify that they still accept your insurance, and if they are accepting new patients. Research tools After you find a few doctors you’re interested in, there are lots of online resources you can turn to, to help you check up on them. For example, you can find out if a doctor is board certified at the American Board of Medical Specialties at certificationmatters.org or call 866-275-2267. And to learn about malpractice claims and disciplinary actions taken against doctors, you can use your state medical board – see fsmb.org/state-medicalboards/contacts to search your state. Here are some other good websites that can help you find and/or research doctors in your area for free. s(EALTHGRADES COM 4HIS comprehensive easy-to-use site provides doctor’s information on education and training, hospital affiliations, board certification, awards and recognitions, professional misconduct, disciplinary action and malpractice records, office locations and insurance plans. It also offers a 5-star ratings scale from past patients on a number of issues like communication and listening skills, wait
Savannah. “They’re all in it down there, they’re investing in studios, they’re not small investments, there’s people down there to make sure the incentives aren’t going anywhere.� “Why did North Carolina pull its incentive program?� I asked. “I think there’s a lot of people who aren’t educated about the business, they call us . . . that we’re not steady workers, we’re treated like they don’t really know us.� Joe told me how the impact of the film business went far beyond movie ticket sales. So much of the film’s pro-
duction costs go into salaries for the skilled trades, crafts and labor of the people who make the movie, and the lumber, paint, electrical supplies, hardware items, food, clothes; the list is endless, in short, everything anyone needs that is available locally pumps money into the local economy. “It’s like, I’m working, I’ve got money, and I need to redo some stuff on the house, so now I’m payin’ somebody, and now he’s makin’ money. It’s called a supply chain. Dr. Handfield, a professor of economics at NC State, did a study for the film industry, a fifty page analysis of the supply chain.�

The controversy about the changes to the film incentive program continues to rage, with emotions running high about whether they made economic sense to the economy, state or local. One thing is certain, and that is that once the backers and labor force move somewhere else and establish a working relationship in a film supportive state, they are not likely to return to a less certain future in a state that changes its policy. Business likes stability, and this is a business like any other. There is no certain future, but the science of business, the art of business, is predicting a more certain future.

Outstanding volunteers in Pender County recognized By Kay Warner Special to the Post & Voice The North Carolina Commission on Volunteerism and Community service has presented the 2015 Governor’s Volunteer Service Award to six recipients from Pender County. Award recipients are Suzette Dudley, Cleo and Bob Gribble, Ethel Johnson, Jane Niederberger, and Earl Williams. The awards were presented during the annual Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) recognition dinner May 19 at Pender Adult Services. Surf City Mayor Zander Guy assisted with the presentations and made remarks to all of the attendees. Suzette Dudley has participated in the RSVP homebound care program for four years. She has given many hours, care, and kindness to each client she is assigned. Two of her first clients were former teachers and they have shared wonderful memories, told lots of stories and built beautiful friendships. One of the ladies was in failing health and entered a nursing home. Suzette has now taken on another client with some special needs. She has a keen eye and noticed one client in need of additional services, which helped RSVP get the aid she needed. She has filled in for other helpers when needed and provides transportation to and from the senior center for several clients when
needed. Cleo and Bob Gribble are a couple with true volunteer spirit. They have served with RSVP four years. They both volunteer with the developmentally challenged group and Cleo volunteers in the companion care program. Bob tutors at Topsail Middle School. Their primary interest was committing to two boys in the RSVP developmentally challenged group. They travel across the county to work in the Burgaw library with the young men, which requires a very positive attitude, great deal of patience, kindness and leadership. Bob answered a distress call from Topsail Middle School when they received two Spanish speaking students in mid-year. Bob took this additional opportunity on and did a great job. Ethel Johnson has volunteered with RSVP for three years. She is a caring and enthusiastic woman and visits two homebound ladies in the companion care program. She cooks extra food and provides meals when they are low on food and when Meals on Wheels is not running during the holidays. Ethel grocery shops, picks up prescriptions, runs the vacuum when she sees a need, and gets great pleasure out of bringing cakes to celebrate birthdays. She attends the monthly educational meetings and uses the information to get resources that may benefit her clients.
Jane Niederberger does not let age define what she does or who she is, but instead stays young by volunteering and staying active in her community. Never missing an opportunity to help a student learn to enjoy reading a book, she goes the extra mile to find what is needed to click with the student. You may have guessed, she is a retired educator, and uses the many tricks in her bag until she succeeds. She travels from Surf City to Hampstead to tutor two days a week. RSVP watches the relationships she develops and is always amazed at how the children relate to her. Earl Williams has volunteered with the RSVP Companion Care-Healthy Futures Program for three years. He visits three men who are homebound every week and goes above and beyond to make certain their needs are being met to help them live independently for as long as possible. He is a true companion taking them to Veterans Administration for benefit paperwork, doctors appointments, out to lunch, barber shop, grocery shopping, men talk, home repairs, and general companionship. He drives across the county to help one of these clients. Earl helped one client learn how to do email and skype and he is now able to stay in close contact with his daughter, son and grandchildren. The Governor’s Volunteer Service Award honors people
who have shown concern and compassion for their neighbors by making a significant contribution to Pender County through volunteer service. The award was created in the Office of the Governor in 1979.

Cross Connection Inspector Bids Sought
By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist It is the time of year when the heat begins to pick up to mid-summer proportions with a humidity level matching the temperature. It is not like that everyday, but enough days to forewarn you of the coming dog days. And there I was, just wondering, what gave me such a fight on the coast just a few weeks ago. What was it? How big was it? Can I duplicate the scenario and possibly get that fight one more time? The unknown is both a great motivator and a great hindrance. Unfamiliar with talking in front of large crowds? The unknown drives you away. Set up on a blind date by a friend’s friend? Escape plan is in place. But the unknown as in the big one that got away, well, it kind of ways on your mind for a while. So, before dedicating some time to the piedmont and mountain rivers where the water is a little cooler and the heat is not quite as bad, I had to try one more time. The best way to get the same results is to repeat the same steps. While paddling out I dropped some bottom rigs looking for croaker, mullet and pinfish I could use as

Changing poles to a heavier, stronger version with 80pound test line, I was ready to find out what was in the d e p t h s . T wo l i n e s w e r e dropped, one from each side. After a casual 10-minute drift, I noticed some action on one of the rods. Wait. Wait. Set the hook! The fish started to run as the rod doubled. I found a good fish, but not quite what the one was a few weeks ago. I got the fish turned and began making progress bringing it back to the kayak. Then the line went limp. The leader was cut. I reeled in the other line as well, and switched over to steel leaders on both rods. I attached heavier gauge steel circle hooks too. With three of the four fish strips left, I dropped them to the bottom once again. I proceeded to bring in a few sharks, each of them
being on the smaller size. I fished some more for baitfish, but the sharks were taking my shrimp just as quickly. Finally, I brought in another croaker. This time though, I decided to use the whole fish as bait. That was the right thing to do. I hooked into another shark, but much larger. The fight was more of a tug of war than a ‘take off and run’ type battle I had a few weeks prior. He would go down, I would pull him up. He would show a burst of strength and head down, pulling drag, I would wait and tire him a little more. Just as I got him to the surface, he just let go. I never had the hook set. He was holding on to half the fish like a puppy to a shoe. Technically, he didn’t just let go. Technically, he just decided to bite down harder, cutting my bait fish in half right behind the gills. The fight was fun, like many of the sharks I pulled

in that day, including one that was just a little too big for me to pull up in the kayak, so I looped the hook off the leader instead. But none were my mystery fish from before. None of the sharks pulled and fought the same way. Maybe that is proof enough to rule a shark out of the equation. With the kings and cobia starting to get close to the beaches, perhaps I can stand another heat wave in order to keep searching for the one that got away. –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter.

State senate approves captive deer bill By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer
elk, Sitka, spruce and other deer, proponents say farmers affected by the loss of the tobacco industry could open their properties for exotic hunting opportunities. At the same time, conservation groups, hunters and the Wildlife Resources Commission have expressed concerns that importing exotic species into the state could allow Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) to spread to the state’s native deer species. CWD is a form of spongiform encephalitis, similar to “Mad Cow” diseases, that has decimated deer herds in more than a dozen states. The virus can remain viable in the ground for years, under ideal circumstances. CWD is spread by contact between deer, and according to wildlife officials in Colorado, could
The state moved a step closer to expanding captive deer farms last week, as a proposal to move regulation of deer on hunting preserves from the Wildlife Resources Commission to the Department of Agriculture passed the senate. Approved on a 44-2 vote, the changes are included in the N.C. Farm Bill for this session, which also loosens some livestock confinement operation waste rules, and opens up the state for production of eels. Supporters of the captive cervid rule change have pushed the bill as a way to create a new form of hunting tourism in the state. By allowing the importation and breeding of species such as

CWD outbreaks through strict regulations on captive herds, as well as limiting imports of animals from infected states. Some fear that weakening the rules will allow unscrupulous dealers to transfer deer from infected herds set for euthanasia into North Carolina.

Quest for second state championship ends on short end of 3-2 score
Topsail nine falls in third round of playoffs By Lee Wagner Contributing Writer As a new season approaches a great many teams at almost every level set their sights on the last game of the year being played –and won –in a championship series or game, and the Topsail High School baseball team certainly entertained that ambition. Coming off a 2013 NCHSAA 3A state championship and with nine very talented seniors on the roster along with several very good underclassmen, there was definitely reason for optimism, and until last Wednesday evening those positive thoughts were very obvious in Hampstead. But sports can be a fickle friend at
times and on a team that prided itself on excellent defense and a solid approach at the plate it was a combination of a great pitching performance and a late fielding miscue that led to an unearned run that quashed those aspirations, and silenced a capacity crowd. Golden Falcon sophomore Chandler Matthews singled home teammate – and winning pitcher – Bobby Hampton, who had reached base on an error, with what proved to be the winning run as C. B. Aycock defeated Topsail 3-2 on Wednesday in the third round of the NCHSAA 3A state baseball championships. The win not only catapulted the Golden Falcons (20-4) into the fourth round, it avenged a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Pirates (25-3) in the fourth round in last
year’s playoffs. “It was a tough way to end the season but I still feel if it was a best-of-three series we would be moving on, but it was a one-game affair and they got the job done, and they are the ones moving on,” Topsail Coach Granville Gehris said. Hampton came into action with a 0.73 earned-run-average, 83 strikeouts, and a 8-0 record, and he limited the usual heavy-hitting Pirates to three hits and two walks (both to Chase Riker) while fanning seven. “(Topsail pitcher Wilson) Danny did a great job, he’s a shutdown guy, but we didn’t lose the game because of him, we lost the game because we couldn’t

Lady Pirates in East Regional championship Topsail in best of three series with Northern Guilford Nighthawks By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Topsail Pirate softball team has continued to win throughout the 2015 season despite injuries and a tough schedule that included two losses in the prestigious Hoggard Easter Tournament. Last week the Hampstead ladies won two tough 3A playoff games including a 6-5 win over C.B. Aycock that propelled the team to the Eastern Regional finals. Early in the week the Pirates hosted the Triton Hawks out of the Three Rivers Conference. The 20- seed Hawks had upset two higher seeds on their way to this matchup, including a 6-3 win over the fourth seeded Cleveland Rams. There would be no upset here as the Pirates used a flawless defensive effort along with the timely hitting of Hailey Glester and Tanesha Williams to take a 5-2 win. The Pirates called on their flame throwing ace Victoria Elder to pitch them to the win. She answered the call with a complete game performance that included eight hits and four strikeouts. She allowed two earned runs and issued two walks. Topsail scored all five of their runs in the first three innings behind the play of Hunter Bizzell, Tanesha Williams and Hailey Glester. Triton scored two runs in the sixth inning on a home run by Emma Thomas. Next up was the C.B. Aycock Golden Falcons out of the 3A/4A Eastern Carolinas Conference. The Golden Falcons had benefited from an early upset in the first round to make it to the third round of the playoffs. The Pirates would prove to be their toughest competition to date as
the Pirates scored two runs in the seventh frame to take a 6-5 win and advance to the eastern regional finals. The Pirates again threw Elder against their opponents. The Lady Pirates jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first. The Pirate barrage began with a double from Keri White. An error moved White from second to third. Elder singled to plate White. Topsail added three runs in the third inning and seemed to be coasting toward an easy win. The Lady Pirates have learned throughout the year that nothing is easy in the game of softball. The Golden Falcons scored three runs in the top of the sixth inning and added two more in the top of the seventh to take a 5-4 lead. The Pirates had one last chance to make something happen. Hailey Glester opened the top of the seventh being hit by a pitch. Bizzell followed with a bunt single. A bad throw moved her to third and another errant throw scored Glester. Keri White followed with a sacrifice fly to right field to give the Pirates the win. Elder earned the win with seven innings of work that included nine hits and five runs. Three of the runs were earned. She had two strikeouts and the Pirate defense made three errors behind her. Bizzell, White and Elder all had two hits to pace the Pirate offense while White had the game winning RBI. The Pirates will now face the 23-2 Northern Guilford Nighthawks out of the Mid-State conference in the best of three eastern regional finals. Topsail will be away in the first game as well as in the third game if needed. The winner will play for the state championship.
For the second year in a row the Whiteville Wolfpack came to Titan Town as the lower seed in the North Carolina State 1A playoffs. The Titans were primed to take out the team that ended their season in the fourth round a year ago. However, the Lady Wolfpack used the long ball to spoil the Rocky Point ladies plans, taking a 7-2 win. “This is a game we really wanted,” said Trask Coach Corrina Reece. “They knocked us out of the playoffs last year and we wanted some revenge. We just didn’t hit the ball well enough to win.” A thunderstorm delayed the fourth round contest by 24 hours and the two teams were primed and ready to roll when the 6 p.m. game started. Trask started their ace A.J. Johnson in the circle and the pack countered with their hard throwing ace Malerie Leviner. Whiteville failed to score in the opening frame. It was the Titans turn to swing the bats and they came out of the gate with a bang. Kyra Holmes walked and was sacrificed to second. Taylor Rivenburgh was hit by a pitch giving the Titans runners on first and second with one out. Johnson lined a single to left field to score
Kyra Holmes before the Titans rally flamed out. T rask scored a g ain in the second frame to take a 2-0 lead. A Desire Brown single and a subsequent steal put the speedster in scoring position. An error by the Wolfpack shortstop scored Brown. The Titans had the Whiteville crew on the ropes in the early going. However, there was a lot of softball left to play. A.J. Johnson makes her living down in the strike zone. The umpire behind the plate did not call a low strike. As the game moved along his strike zone gravitated to well above the knees. Johnson had no choice but to follow the strike zone. That enabled the Wolfpack to find success in the middle innings. W h i t ev i l l e o p e n e d t h e third frame with a runner on first after a Trask miscue. A single gave them runners on first and third. A double to left field scored a run. With the score 2-1 Trask, Whiteville first baseman Ivy Hayes stepped up the plate. She took a Johnson offering about thigh high and lifted it over the centerfield fence to give the Pack a 4-2 lead. The Titans got out of the inning and went to work in the bottom of the frame. They could manage one hit in the frame as Leviner seemed to have hit her stride. Whiteville tacked on two

In My Opinion
By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer
The verdict is in and the truth shall be known. Pender County is the real deal when it comes to softball. This year the three area high schools fielded some pretty darn good softball teams. Although Pender went down in the first round of the playoffs, Coach Gary Battle laid the ground work for a revival of the Pender softball program. In case anybody forgot, the Pender Patriots won a couple of state championships under Tom Roper. Coach Roper took what was a very talented team and taught them that if you work hard and do what is expected of you good things will happen. Coach Ron Watson started the Trask Titan program and never had a losing season in his tenure. When he stepped down Coach Corrina Reece brought her in-your-face style of play to the school along with a bevy of talented freshmen with her. The results have been perhaps the beginning of the
flagship program of the 1A ranks in the eastern part of the state. I challenge anyone to tell me of a team with a better three year record than that of the Titans. Topsail has known some success in the past. However, this year the team has taken that next step under the tutelage of Jay Abston and Stephen White. This team has taken on all comers and held their own through what can only be described as a very successful season. The Pirates have fought injury throughout the year and has just kept on winning. Now they are on the cusp of playing for a state title. They need to win two of three from a 23-2 Norther n Guilford squad. I wouldn’t bet against these ladies. The Burgaw Dixie Youth program has been as successful as any recreation program in the state over the last 10 years or so. The Topsail youth programs have also found success. These programs are the feeder programs for the middle and high schools. I would like to congratulate Topsail and Trask for their deep run into the playoffs. I would also like to congratulate Corrina Reece and her staff along with Coach Abston and the man I consider to be one of the best softball coaches in the area in Stephen White. I want to wish the Lady Pirates luck in their run to the championship. Oh yeah, I got you again Coach Reece.

The Lady Titans finished the season unbeaten in the Four County Conference and 20-4 overall. more runs in the top of the fourth on a two run home run that cleared the rightcenterfield fence. The Lady Titans could only get to the Whiteville ace for two hits after the second inning. The Wolfpack scored a run in the fifth to complete the scoring. Johnson took the loss with seven innings of work that included six hits and seven runs. She had six strikeouts on the day. Carlie Savage and Desire Brown each had a hit and a run batted in to lead a Titan team that put together five hits.
The Lady Titans finished the year 20-4 overall after going 14-0 in the Four County Conference. They made it to the third round of the state 1A playoffs for the second year in a row. Coach Reece applauded her team’s effort but acknowledged the fact that anything short of a state championship is a disappointment to both her and her players. “We battled injuries and we didn’t have a lot of depth this year but we don’t offer any excuses. We had a good season but anything short of a state championship is a disappointment to all of us.”
Topsail Pirate softball verse Northern Guilford Nighthawks The Topsail Pirates (20-6) entered the state 3A playoffs as a number five seed while the Northern Guilford Nighthawks (23-2) were a number two seed. Let’s look at the numbers. Northern Guilford is a very good hitting team they average .379 as a team and have scored 217 runs this season. They average 8.68 runs per contest. Their leading hitter is junior Caitlin Ray. She carries a .489 average with 44 hits and 21 runs batted in. The Nighthawks have only two players on their roster with a batting average under .300. They have 47 doubles and 14 triples on the year. The Nighthawks rely on two pitchers. Both are juniors and both have earned run averages under one run. Ashton Lambeth carries a 14-0 record into the series. She has pitched 85.1 innings and has struck out 88 opponents. She only has eight walks on the year. Anne Tewksbury is the other hurler. She is 9-2 on the year with 60 strikeouts in 70-2 innings. The team has 54 errors in 25 games. The Pirates are also a very good hitting team. The offense starts with leadoff hitter Hunter Bizzell. She has speed and can execute the bunt or slap. The Pirates are dangerous throughout the lineup. Keri White and Victoria Elder provide power while Tenesha Williams has come on strong
in the second half of the year. One of the most consistent hitters is sophomore Hayley Grizzle while Danielle Parks and Hailey Glester can bring it as well. Victoria Elder leads the Pirates in the circle although the Pirates have a bevy of strong arms to go to. Elder is a hard throwing right-hander with the ability to take over a game. Hayley Grizzle is the Pirates number two pitcher. She moves the ball well and can hit her spots. She would be most team’s number one starter. This series will come down to who gets to their opponents pitcher first. If the Pirates can get to Ray early and get her on her heels, the series will go the Pirates way. If Elder struggles early the Pirate coaching staff can not hesitate to go to Grizzle. She is a big time pitcher that will not blink in the eye of a storm. The two Pirates that will make or break the team will be Bizzell and White. Bizzell will have to set the plate and White will have to do her thing. I can see White winning the series on the base paths. My prediction is Topsail in three games. I think that the Pirates tough schedule will pay dividends in this series.

Futch positive about Patriot baseball By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer At the beginning of the baseball season Pender Patriot first year coach Robbie Futch knew that there would be an adjustment period for the players as well as himself. Throughout the season the team began to feel comfortable with the coach’s style of coaching as well as what he expected out of each player. Although the team failed to make the playoffs, Coach Futch saw improvement in the team’s
play as well as their approach to the game. The Patriots won only four games on the year but all four were Four County affairs. One of the team’s biggest wins was a 1-0 victory over a very good Clinton team. Senior Cameron Guertin pitched a complete game shutout, allowing two hits while striking out 11 Dark Horses. The Patriots lose eight seniors including allconference pitcher Cameron Guertin. Coach Futch will be working in the off-season to replace those guys through
hard work. Looking ahead Coach Futch has a formidable pitching staff coming back in Chase Norris, Justin Fedoronko and Riley Murray. “We hope to see more progression from those three,” said Futch. “They have Guertin sized shoes to fill as far as giving us a chance to be competitive against all opponents.” The Pats will look to get ahead of the curve this summer. They have two teams playing this summer. Lee Norris will coach the 1516-year olds. He is the coach
at Penderlea Middle school. Coach Futch will coach a 1314-year-old Dixie Boys team out of Pender High. “I want the chance to go ahead and work with the upcoming middle school kids,” said Futch. As for the future of Pender High school baseball, Coach Futch see’s nothing but good things in the near future. “I think we’ll be a stronger team next year. We may not have as much potential for big hits but that may not be a bad thing to not worry about waiting for one of those to happen.”
Former assistant Ellington new Lady Pirates basketball coach By Lee Wagner Contributing Writer Dating back to his days as a student and basketball player at Southern Alamance High School, Andrew Ellington knew he wanted to be a teacher and a coach. Those early feelings led him to North Carolina State University where he served as the team manager for Wolfpack men’s basketball team while getting his degree in English. Ellington began his career as an assistant coach at two previous locations (Cary and Athens Drive) and that led him to Topsail High School where he served as an assistant last year to Lady Pirates’ Head Coach Jim Clanahan. Ellington enjoyed his time as an assistant at Athens Drive (2007-2012) – where two of his players moved on to the Division I collegiate level, and one eventually to the Chicago Sky of the WNBA – and at Cary High School (2012-2014), and last year as Clanahan’s assistant but the desire to move into a head coaching position lingered. Now Ellington is getting the opportunity to begin that long-awaited dream as he was just named the head girls’ basketball coach at Topsail, replacing the recently retired Clanahan. “Jim told me near the end
of last season that he was not coming back, his wife wanted him to retire, and he decided to do just that,” Ellngton said. “I had kind of made my mind up to move over to the boys and coach the junior-varsity team but with the changes in both (boys’ and girls’) coaching positions I decided to throw my hat in the ring and apply for both.” Ellington did that and went through the formal interview process with Topsail Principal Chip Hodges. After that transpired – and other interviews were conducted – Hodges met with Ellington. “Mr. Hodges offered me the job as the head girls’ coach,” Ellington said. “He indicated they had some excellent, experienced candidates for the boys’ position and he felt, with my coaching resume coming entirely as an assistant and almost all on the girls’ side, it would be a better fit, and I totally understand the situation. “Having coached these girls last year I found I really enjoyed being around them so I accepted the position and I am really excited about the opportunity. I feel it is a good fit and a good opportunity, and I am really anxious to get things started with some off-season activities whenever and whatever the NCHSAA allows.” During his time as an as-
sistant, Ellington’s resume is littered with success. While at Athens Drive the Lady Jaguars were the Tri-County Conference regular-season champions (2007 and 2008), and the conference tournament champions (2009), and they made the 4A state playoffs twice in his five years. At Cary, the Lady Imps were the Southwest Wake Athletic Conference champions in 2013 with a 21-4 record, and they advanced to the second round of the 4A state playoffs in 2013 and 2014. That winning mentality is something he wants to instill at Topsail, and he is confident with the varsity returnees and a couple of additions from the middle-school program he can achieve that. “We need a year-long commitment, to start,” Ellington said. “I know with the multisport athletes we have here it may not be totally possible for everyone, but we will work with that. I have spoken to the girls and our motto heading into next year is ‘All in.’ I believe with the returning talent, and if we can keep Dominique (Bryant) healthy, and with the girls coming over from the middle school we can get on the right track in the very near future. “I really want to change the culture and I know the girls are tired of being the
doormat in the (Mid-Eastern 3A/4A) conference so I am really excited about what lies ahead.” The Lady Pirates lose just two girls from last year’s 8-16 (3-9 in conference) team with the graduation of Davisha Sidbury and Candaus Banks. The team will be led by rising seniors Keri White, Amberly Wolf, and Brandy Williams. Bryant (rising junior), who experienced some injury issues last year, started last year as a sophomore when healthy, and Carmen Pyrtle was the starting point guard as a freshman. Ellington is also looking for enhanced performances from rising junior Victoria Daniel and rising sophomore Rachel Kapiko, both of whom have a year of varsity experience under their belts. Ellington is also expecting rising senior Payton Schoenleber, who was a starter last year before she withdrew from the team early last season for personal reasons, to return. “We will begin conditioning and start working in the weight room as soon as the schedule allows and I am hoping to be involved in anywhere from one to three summer camps,” Ellington said. “What I know right now is I am very excited by the opportunity and I am sure the girls and I will be up to the challenge.”

Pender County’s Most Comprehensive Fishing Report
Flounder showing up in numbers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Fishing Fanatic The area anglers that are fishing the flats and creeks have been having some luck with flounder. There have been some nice fish caught but keep in mind that the legal size for flounder is 15 inches or bigger with a six fish limit. The best bait is live minnows while some have had luck with gulp baits. The mouth of creeks have been a sweet spot for some anglers. The reds are hanging around the creeks as well. Gulp baits are working with an occasional angler using top baits and plastics. The freshwater anglers are catching some nice bream. My wife and I caught a few last Friday on red worms. We fished Prince George creek. Incidentally we ran up on what I believe is the neighborhood gator. We see him almost every time we go in about the same spot. I have noticed that the bush hook anglers have
quite a few lines out. I watched a gentleman pull up a cat that weighed every bit of seven pounds or more. He was using what appeared to be a big chunk of chicken. This week’s fishing tip I write about tips and such on fishing in both salt and fresh water. I did both this week and what I found was that our area waters are some of the most beautiful in the United States. One trip down the Cape Fear River in the early morning hours will sell even the most pessimistic person on our natural beauties. My wife and I saw all kinds of wildlife on Friday including a gator that must have been 10-foot long. The waters around Topsail are as peaceful as any I have ever been on. The water is clean and the locals are friendly. I think that we are lucky to have such a wonderful place to fish or just enjoy ourselves. Please take care of our natural resources. They are the only ones we will get.

Johnson takes it to the next level for Lady Titans By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Trask Titans started the 2015 season the word was that the team had three arms to lean on during the year. However, as the season progressed the player that took the ball in the circle in most every game was junior right hander A.J. Johnson. Johnson has ear ned the reputation of being one cool customer because of her demeanor on the field and in the dugout. Although she is an intense competitor she never shows any emotion. This year Miss Johnson has earned the majority of the Titans wins in the circle. She has been among the leaders at the plate as well. Her ability to perform in the most trying circumstances is amazing. As the Titans sit and wait for next spring, Coach Corrina Reece will take solace in knowing that she will have one cool customer in the circle in A.J. Johnson.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Topsail Pirate softball team has talent from top to bottom so when freshman Tanesha Williams made the varsity squad it was considered to be a major accomplishment. As the season has progressed the team has battled a number of injuries that has been a cause of concern for Coach Jay Abston and company. Up steps the freshman. Over the last two or three weeks Tanesha has come on strong. She has stepped up in a big way in the last week alone. She has been big with her bat and along with her base running skills has made a difference for Coach Abston. Last week she had a triple and scored the winning run in the Pirates 10 inning playoff win. There is no doubt that the future is bright for the Topsail Pirates with Tanesha Williams on the horizon.

Murray set to carry the torch for Pender High By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Pender Patriot baseball team will lose nine seniors off of the 2015 team. Although the squad struggled in the win column they showed great progress toward the end of the year. One of the players that showed progress is sophomore Riley Murray. The 6-foot, 205pound strong man was among the team leaders at the plate while also playing the catchers position as well as playing other spots in the infield. Next year the Patriots will expect much more out of this young man. He will be counted on to give Coach Robbie Futch some innings on the mound as well as providing leadership in the dugout and on the field. Based on his improvement in the spring he will be up to the challenge. Riley Murray will work this off season to become a mover and shaker for the Pats next year.

Our deadline for News and Advertising is Noon on Friday
Rep. Chris Millis Today (May 21), the State House presented and voted on the 2015 Appropriations Act House Bill 97. This bill embodies two of the highest powers afforded to the legislature by the people: the power to tax and the power to spend. As your elected representative, I have thoroughly vetted the proposed House Budget - and after thoughtful consideration, I have confidently voted against the legislation. While there may be no perfect budget document - as it relates to any single member relative to all 120 different districts across the state - the budget proposal before me today consisted of a multitude of harmful tax policies and hundreds of millions of dollars spent outside the clear and defined role of state government. I sincerely applaud the positives in the proposed budget and those who have worked tirelessly in this effort: measures to provide the priorities of public education in the highest possible way - including the move to allow for local flexibility while targeting funding to classrooms and to our valued teachers, efforts to promote sound public infrastructure, addressing current and past state employees pay, adequate funding for necessary regulatory protection, and advancing measures of justice and public safety. These provisions in the budget reflect many of our shared priorities. Unfortunately, the hard work of many of the members has been swept away by those who have directly flexed their ability to riddle the budget document with unabashed levels of cronyism. As a result, the many benefits included in the proposed House budget have been tainted by with elite tax code carve-outs and special
interest perks. For example, House Bill 97 moves to extend yet another subsidy to the “renewable energy” industry at the expense of taxpayers by way of the tax code. Subsidizing more expensive forms of energy production, which has no measurable environmental benefit, on the backs of our citizens is unconscionable by way of a conservative majority. Instead of preserving and promoting a just and equitable tax policies - tax policies that took our state from the 46th worst tax code in the country to among the very best - the House Budget reinstitutes not just the renewable energy tax subsidies, but a number of other special interest carve-outs very much at odds with the notion of keeping taxes low and fair for everyone. Providing carveouts for special interest groups that are funded by shifting the tax burden to the backs of our hard working taxpayers is not an action that merits support. Unraveling tax reform is not the only issue I have with the House’s proposed budget. There are also hundreds of millions of dollars clearly spent outside of the proper role of government. For example: establishing a special fund for “venture capitalists” (to the tune of $40 million); a special $80 million handout to the film industry; nearly $20 million to subsidize unproven starts-ups - these are just a few of the many budget spending items that are against my oath of office and that are being directly funded with your hard-earned tax dollars. The combination of hundreds of millions of dollars per year being spent outside of the role of government and a retreat on uniform tax policy is too much for me to bear. I committed to you, the citizens of the 16th District, to go to Raleigh and to use your voice and your vote according to the principles of prudent spending and to fund the proper role of government through a low, uniform, and equitable tax code. It is my continued desire to stand on principle over politics; therefore I must stand on principle and vote in a manner consistent with the word I gave you.
USDA report reminder The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) reminds farmers to file a Highly Erodible Land Conservation and Wetland Conservation Certification form (AD-1026) with their local USDA Service Center by June 1, 2015. The 2014 Farm Bill requires producers to have the form on file in order to remain eligible, or to become eligible for crop insurance premium support.
Many farmers already have a certification form on file since it’s required for participation in most USDA programs including marketing assistance loans, farm storage facility loans and disaster assistance. However, farmers who only participate in the federal crop insurance program must now file a certification form to receive crop insurance premium support.

what we’ve done here,” Cota said. “When we (seniors) first came here the program was nothing, nobody cared, and we were just that little school that the New Hanover teams picked on, that’s an easy game on the schedule. “But now they know, and we know, we are the best team in the area and one of the best teams in the state, and there is no doubt about it that Topsail baseball has surpassed Wilmington, maybe not with the years of tradition, but as of right now. We (seniors) started it and I believe that will continue for years to come.” Gehris agreed and looked to the future. It’s been a great ride but winning wasn’t in the cards,” Gehris said. This group of seniors has been amazing and I know they will succeed in life. This is a life’s lesson, life is going to knock you down more than it will pick you back up, and it’s your job to pick yourself back up, learn from it, and become better. “I feel like this year we had the best year in the area and we worked hard to get it done. A lot here has been done in improving our facilities and our morale and none of that gets done without kids and great community support and that’s what it all comes down to. We are blessed in that this is a great baseball community and make no mistake I expect us to be right back in it in the thick of it and in making a deep playoff run.”
Continued from page 11A second he retired the next four Pirate hitters before issuing his second walk to Riker to fifth. A double erased Riker and Hampton retired the next seven Pirates in order to secure the victory. “He’s (Hampton) a great competitor and a great pitcher and I think we just got too anxious at the plate,” Topsail senior Clark Cota said. “He located well and he wasn’t making mistakes with his pitches like other teams had, he stayed outside and kept his same approach. That’s what a D-1 (collegiate Division I) pitcher does, and he did a great job of that tonight. As a pitcher I have a great amount of respect for what he did. “The one thing I will probably regret most about this year is not being on the mound (Cota suffered a late-season injury to his throwing arm that will require surgery). I have the utmost confidence in my ability and I know I have the ability to change a game on the mound as well as at the plate, so it is a big disappointment I wasn’t able to help my team as a pitcher.” Cota said the sudden end to the season hurts but the magnitude of what this group of nine seniors accomplished will make the program even better moving forward. “It hurts right now but I can’t even put it into words

NOTICE OF ADVERTISEMENT OF TAX LIENS ON REAL PROPERTY TOWN OF TOPSAIL BEACH North Carolina General Statutes require local tax collectors to advertise all current year unpaid taxes levied on real estate. We do not wish to embarrass property owners by publishing their names in the newspaper. The advertisement of property liens is a mandatory step in the tax foreclosure process. If you have any questions about the names and properties appearing in this advertisement, or want to contact us about paying your taxes, please call the tax office at (910) 328-5841. Our office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Under the authority vested in me by Section 105-369 of the North Carolina General Statutes and pursuant to an order of the Board of Commissioners/Town of Topsail Beach dated, February 11, 2015, I am hereby advertising tax liens for the year 2014 upon the real property described below. The real property parcel subject to the lien, the name of the parcel’s owner as of January 7, 2014 (and/or the names of subsequent owners), and the amount of taxes due are set out below. The amount advertised represents only the principal taxes for tax year 2014 that were unpaid as of May 25, 2015. The actual amount owed by the taxpayer will be increased by all taxes owed for the prior tax years and by all applicable interest, costs, and fees. The omission of prior years’ taxes and interest, costs, and fees from the amount advertised will not constitute a waiver of the taxing unit’s claim for these items. If the taxes remain unpaid, the tax collector will use all available collection remedies to collect the delinquent taxes, including the levy on personal property, the garnishment of wages, the attachment of bank accounts, rents, debts, or other property and the foreclosure and sale of the real property. These collections procedures do not apply to taxpayers subject to pending federal bankruptcy petitions. When a parcel was subdivided after January 1, 2014, and the ownership of one or more of the resulting parcels were transferred, the amount of the tax lien on each parcel, as shown in this advertisement, is the amount of the lien on the original parcel as it existed on January 1, 2014, and is subject to adjustment when the taxes are paid or the lien is foreclosed. This the 28th day of May, 2015. Connie B. Forand, Tax Collector Town of Topsail Beach The listings indicate the owner of record of the real estate as of January 6, 2014, the parcel identification number and the principal amount due.

THE DAILY GRIND By Lori Kirkpatrick Contributing Writer
first time they decided to close on weekdays, to allow them to take several vacations. They visited their oldest son, who is in the US Army in Hawaii. They are considering taking time off each winter in the future, since they now live in a vacation area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it. We never thought it would turn into this. And now we have a line out the door here, come Memorial Day until Labor Day from 7 in the mor ning until noon â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just constant people,â&#x20AC;? said Shugarts. After the first year, the family opened up an ice cream shop in the same shopping center. They had it for four years before deciding to combine the two places to make things simpler. They also ventured out to open stores in Sneads Ferry, Wrightsville Beach and Jacksonville, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do as well so they chose to put all their efforts into the Surf City location. Next, they added a doughnut machine. Shugarts said she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t realize until later what a great location they have, being next to the ABC Store where many vacationers would stop in. Between the prime location and the smell of fresh doughnuts bringing in customers, business has taken off. Working at the Daily Grind is a family affair. Jeremy and Tracey have six children ranging in age from seven to 19, and five of them are helping out at the coffee shop. There is something for everyone to do. Tracey said they also just hired 22 people for the summer. Although she sees the benefits of having her children work in the family business, Tracey also doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to hold them back from pursuing their own dreams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My son decided in April to join the Army in July. It happened so quickly. At first he was just going to go to UNCW, get a business degree and come in and run the business for me â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which is great, but I want more for my kids. I told him when he is 38 and retires from the Army, he can come back and run it for me then,â&#x20AC;? said Shugarts. In addition to its specialties, the Dail y G r i n d o f f e r s s m o o t h i e s , yo g u r t , bagels, muffins, cakes and milkshakes.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can have any type of coffee, as year and visit us, we hang out with them and go plain as you want it to be or as specialty to dinner. There are locals who come in here as you want it to be. We can do more than every single morning. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice. Even in some 22,000 drink combinations, which I believe of the up-and-down times when we struggled is typically more than Starbucks because we a little bit, they stuck with us. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to carry more syrups and sauces. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get have that encouragement,â&#x20AC;? said Shugarts. rid of pumpkin in the summer.

The Daily Grind, in Surf City, is a familyowned and operated business that specializes in coffee, ice cream and doughnuts and offers a variety of additional items. The Shugarts family opened the doors in 2010 and they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looked back. The coffee shopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prime location, as well as the faithful local customers who visit, have kept the family busy ever since. Tracey Shugarts and her husband, Jeremy, decided to open the coffee shop in May of 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is our sixth summer,â&#x20AC;? said Shugarts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband had vacationed here for 15 years before we moved here. Then all of a sudden one day we were leaving and he asked me if I wanted to move. I said sure, and we up and moved. Our oldest boy was in the eighth grade and was about to be a freshman; so we thought if weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ever going to do it, it would be a good time. We moved here from Ohio. When we came down here we were already self-employed. We have another business, so we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to find a job or anything.â&#x20AC;? The Shugarts also own a novelty company that rents equipment to colleges and universities. After moving to Topsail Island, the couple began to look for an office space but couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anything. They wanted to be on or near the island and to find a small office space, but later decided to open a little coffee shop. They were thinking the business would only be open for June, July and August, but it blossomed. They opened in May in time for Memorial Day of 2010, and the place has been full of activity since that time. They were open every day, only taking a break for Christmas Day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My husband was a big Starbucks snob initially,â&#x20AC;? began Shugarts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wanted his caramel macchiato with a certain number of pumps of caramel, vanilla, a certain temperature, a certain kind of milk, that whole thing. Then when we moved here, there was nothing within 30 miles, so he decided this island needed a coffee shop. That was our intent initially â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small little coffee shop. We had a great summer that first year and learned lots of things. We expanded on it and made it better.â&#x20AC;? This past January and February was the

The woman said to him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us.â&#x20AC;? Jesus said to her, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am He, the one who is speaking to you.â&#x20AC;? John 4: 25-26 It struck me the other day, how often Jesus appears in the Bible as a stranger. There is the appearance when Jesus walks on the water. The disciples donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who or what it is. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize Jesus until he speaks. He came as a stranger when he called most of the disciples. He is a virtual unknown when he begins his ministry after John the Baptist is imprisoned. There is the incident in the garden when Mary thinks he is the gardener. She does not know him until he speaks her name. There is that resurrection appearance at the seaside. The disciples have gone fishing and a stranger hails them from the beach. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know it is Jesus until he tells them to fish on the other side as he did once before and the have another record catch. Then perhaps the most
dramatic example, the risen Jesus meets his disciples om the road to Emmaus, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t he recognize him through he speaks boldly to them about scripture and their hearts burn within them. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recognize him until he blesses and breaks the bread. Jesus it seems is often appearing as a stranger. He is a stranger to the woman at the well in Samaria. She has never seen him before. She has no idea who he is or even what he really wants. She discovers his true identity in the unfolding conversation. She knows of the Messiah, how he will someday come but it is Jesus in a word that reveals his true self to her in a few words â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I am he, the one who is speaking to you. His use of â&#x20AC;? I amâ&#x20AC;? does not simply acknowledge his identity but hails back to the name of God in Exodus 3, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am who I am.â&#x20AC;? Jesus is not simply the Messiah but like God the source of true life. The water he is offering, the water of spirit is the spring of eternal life. Still skeptical, the woman goes to tell the villagers about

the man she has met and who she thinks he might be. They all return at her word. The stranger at the well converts them too. In the woman we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just see a model of sincere searching but of active evangelism. She goes to tell others, to invite others, to reach out to others with the good news. A commentator on this text comments that when we go into the world, when we practice invitation and outreach, we meet others where they are and we meet Jesus, too. Jesus comes to us as stranger, often in the guise of someone else â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the outcast person, the needy child, the hungry woman, the lonely man, the person with a broken spirit or a heavy burden. Jesus is waiting for us at the wells of this world, waiting to give us the water of life and to send us out to call oth-
ministry. Jesus meets us as a stranger but instantly becomes a friend. He meets us as a person and becomes our life and salvation, our Lord and Savior. We may not always recognize him, but we will know him when we hear his voice. We may not know him in his appearance, but we will recognize him in his familiar words and ways. Jesus may come as a stranger, but he will not leave until he fully reveals himself and gives us his blessing. Like the woman at the well, we may come upon a stranger, but we leave with a faith and a hope and a life that is blessed. Jesus the stranger will come to us in the midst of the ordinary and everyday, but precisely there he will meet us, restore us and give us new life. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way he does things.

Crab cake recipe
>ef[Ă&#x160;i 9eea_d] 9ehd[h
By Hope Cusick Contributing Writer There is something special about having crab cakes during the summer. They are easy to make and go well on a sandwich bun, served with a salad, or made as the main serving, along with some sweet potato fries and a cucumber salad, if desired. An aioli sauce goes very nicely with crab cakes. Pasta salad can be made a thousand different ways, just use your imagination and become creative with pasta, meat,shrimp, and vegetables, and of course olives and cheeses add to the delicious mixture. Pineapple chunks, orange pieces, strawberries, peaches, and/or blueberries make a nice addition for a luncheon salad. The watermelon and cantaloupe salad is so refreshing. The fruit may be grilled on kabob sticks for 1-2 minutes or cut into slices and lightly grilled that way, then cut into one inch cubes for the salad. Enjoy. Crab cakes Makes 8 cakes. 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus ½ cup for frying ½ cup chopped green scallions, about 6 onions 1 16-ounce canned pasteurized crabmeat, drained or fresh crabmeat 1 large egg
2 tablespoons mayonnaise 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce or soy sauce SLEEVES 2ITZ CRACKERS ABOUT 60 crackers, finely crushed, about 2 cups 1 teaspoon garlic powder Pinch of Old Bay Seasoning Fresh ground black pepper, to taste 1 cup flavored bread or panko crumbs Tartar sauce Lemon wedges In a skillet heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and sautÊ chopped scallions for 1-2 minutes over medium high heat. 2EMOVE FROM HEAT AND LET COOL for about 5 minutes. In a bowl mix together crab, scallions, egg, mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, cracker crumbs, garlic powder, Old Bay Seasoning, and pepper. Place mixture in refrigerator for an hour to help form cakes and to absorb the egg. Form mixture evenly into eight three-inch crab patties, about ½ inch thick. In a pie plate put bread crumbs and one by one gently coat a crab patty with crumbs. Heat the remaining ½ cup olive oil in skillet over medium high heat. Cook patties in two batches, until golden, turning once, about 1-2 minutes each side. Drain on paper towels. Serve with a green salad and some lemon wedges. Pasta salad with feta cheese and olives Make this salad the day before for best flavor. 1½ cups dried medium-sized shell macaroni or spirals Ÿ cup red wine vinegar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice ½ cup olive oil 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced 1 cup English cucumber, cut into ½-inch pieces 4 ounces dried salami, cut into small pieces ½ cup pitted kalamata olives 1 cup feta cheese crumbled, divided in half 1 small Vidalia or sweet onion, chopped 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed 1 tablespoon dried sweet basil, crushed Cook macaroni according to package directions until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside. In a bowl whisk together vinegar, lemon juice, oil, sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, and sweet basil. Fold in cooked macaroni shells, mix until blended. Toss in tomato halves, cucumbers, red pepper, salami, kalamata olives, and half the FETA CHEESE 2EFRIGERATE FOR hours or overnight for best flavor. When ready to serve top with remaining feta cheese. Watermeloncantaloupe salad This recipe may be served as a side salad or as a dessert. 1 small chilled seedless watermelon, about six cups of one inch cubes 4 cups chilled cantaloupe, seeded and peeled, cut into one inch cubes 1 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped 1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 2 large limes juiced, about 5-6 tablespoons juice 3 tablespoons orange juice 1 4-ounce package feta cheese, crumbled 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, or more to taste

Cowan St. Dr. Bell, a library volunteer and avid genealogist, will speak on And What Was That Name Again? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sometimes surnames can really throw up the proverbial brick wall or lead us astray in a big way in our genealogical research,â&#x20AC;? Bell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This short talk will attempt to whet
your appetite for more detailed research on names and how they arrived at their modern form. When we find out the original version of the name, we can often open up a whole new field of research and perhaps find even more people to add to our chart.â&#x20AC;?
