School bond request will total $75 million

School Board reverses decision, Penderlea to stay K-8 By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher The Pender County Board of Education reversed its previous decision Monday and voted to keep Penderlea School a K-8. The resolution included a request to Pender County Commissioners to support a $75 million capital improvement program. The short afternoon meeting was attended by board members Tom Roper and Karen Rouse. Brad George, Kenneth Lanier and Katherine Herring were on a conference call and were able to participate. The resolution passed 4-1, with George voting

no. There was no discussion among board members regarding the resolution and no public input. The resolution was read and quickly passed without comment, to the approval of many Penderlea residents attending the meeting. Monday’s capital improvement resolution includes six projects: •Penderlea School – $21.5 million •Burgaw Middle School – $3 million •West Pender Middle School – $2.5 million •New school in Surf City K-8 – $35 million

•Cape Fear Elementary, Middle – $7 million •Pender High School – $6 million. The resolution asks commissioners to “take all necessary steps, by the issuance of bonds or otherwise, to provide funds for the school system’s capital building needs…” The plan for Penderlea School, while not set, includes a complete renovation of the existing historic building and the addition of one or more new buildings to the campus. School Board member Tom Roper, who championed keeping Penderlea a K-8 school, said a

lot of work went on between the June 26 meeting and Monday’s resolution approval. Roper says he, Lanier, and Pender County Commissioner Jimmy Tate, who represents the Penderlea community on the county board, met to work out the financial details of the Penderlea situation. “We had to find the right financial mix to move this forward,” Roper said. “I think the Penderlea community really did a good job with their presentations dispelling any myths about their ability to offer every child the opportunity to be successful in a

On hand will be food vendors, arts and crafts vendors, and children’s activities. “At 7 p.m. the Carolina Band will perform,” said Heather Reynolds, the Holly Ridge town clerk. “They are a local band – a local favorite.” The band will play until shortly before 9 p.m. when the fireworks will light up

Pender County emergency officials are closely watching a developing tropical system off the coast of Florida. Weather forecasters project the system will move up the east coast as a category one hurricane Thursday evening into Friday. Pender County Emergency Management Director Tom Collins says the county’s Emergency Operations Center could be activated Thursday, depending on the speed of the advancing storm. “We will have to look at some possible evacuations along the coast. We will discuss that with the beach towns. A lot depends on the storm surge. We won’t know any storm surge projections until probably about 24 hours out,” Collins said. “We know category one storm surge will flood just about the whole island. It’s possible we could see an evacuation, but we would have to concur with the towns. I think we will begin staffing the EOC Thursday. It looks like it’s going to be on us rather quickly, based on the forecast. That could all change.” Collins says county emergency personnel will go into the typical preparations for a hurricane. “We will begin getting shelters ready. With school out, shelters won’t be that big of an issue. The Red Cross helps with that. We will make sure all the generators are ready and have them deployed to the shelters,” said Collins. “With a minimal hurricane, we shouldn’t have too much. A lot depends on the exact tract of the storm.” The emergency manage

Continued from page 1A middle school environment.” Roper, who favored keeping Penderlea K-8, said he felt the School Board’s decision to turn Penderlea into an elementary school was largely based on the increased expense of renovating the school if it continued to house middle school students. Pender County Commissioners will consider the school capital improvement plan at their board meeting July 7. Penderlea speaks out The School Board changed

its mind on the Penderlea School after parents and residents of the community spoke at a board meeting on June 26. Although the Penderlea School was not on the agenda, residents used the public comment portion of the meeting to express their opinions. The packed boardroom produced a total of 15 speakers, including Pender County Commissioner Jimmy Tate, who addressed the School Board, asking to keep Penderlea School kindergarten through eighth grade. The School Board voted June 9 to change Penderlea to an elementary school and divide the middle school students between West Pender

Surf City watches storm With the possibility of a hurricane impacting the area by the end of the week, July Fourth celebrations scheduled for Thursday and Friday could be in trouble. Surf City mayor Zander Guy says they are watching the system closely and will discuss possible alternative plans for the town’s annual celebration, scheduled for Thursday evening. “We have the fireworks scheduled and we have to pay for them no matter what,” Guy said. “So we will be looking at some possible alter nate plans.” Watch the Post & Voice Facebook page for updates on the various July Fourth celebrations that my be impacted by the hurricane. Storm updates will be posted as well. Storm forecast As of press time Tuesday morning, forecasts call for Hurricane Arthur, a category one storm to be off the North Carolina coast near the mouth of the Cape Fear River at 2 a.m. Friday morning. Tropical storm to hurricane force winds are expected to impact Pender County during that time. Tropical storm watches and warnings are expected to be posted along the Pender County coast as early as Wednesday evening.

Middle and Burgaw Middle schools. School officials cited several reasons for the change, including low test scores at Penderlea and a lack of opportunities for middle school students at a small school. Speakers at the June 26 meeting disputed the reasons given by the School Board for the change and spoke of the quality of education, high test scores, and the strong sense of community and family at The Pender-Topsail the school. Tate was the last speaker before the School Board June 26. “Rather than having to say I stand against what our School Board is doing to our community, help me help you,

sioner for eight years, I’m concerned about the leadership of the board of commissioners and the school board,” Tate said. “I want to make sure my role as a commissioner can be effective. I think I can better utilize my public time rather than serving on these two boards.” Tate says the Priority One board includes school board chairman Karen Rouse and commission chairman Dav id Wi l l i a m s. Wi l l i a m s also serves on the hospital board.

“Sometimes you need to serve on boards with different people and different leadership styles. After the commissioners meeting Monday night (June 23) it was clear to me that I need to step away from so many boards they are involved in,” Tate said. Williams said he respected Tate’s decision to step down. “We all have a lot on our plates. At the same time we would welcome him back on either board if he changes his mind,” said Williams.

Disc Decompression Therapy!

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

We stepped out for a moment.

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

We will return by 1:30.

Classy Chassis Car Show July 12 Car show, arts and crafts, flea market at Poplar Grove By Lori Kirkpatrick Contributing Writer Poplar Grove Plantation will host its 10th Annual Classy-Chassis Car Show, including an arts and crafts show and flea market July 12, from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. A rain date has been set for Sunday, July 13. S e l e c t e d a s a To p 2 0 EventÂ by the Southeast Tourism Society, the Classy-ChassisÂ became an open show last year, welcoming cars, trucks and motorcycles of any year. Owners must register their vehicles to be displayed and judged. Owners as well as those who just love to look and admire are invited to attend. There are typically more than 175 vehicles registered. There will be a live broadcast with Brian White and Sunny 104.5 FM throughout the day. He will keep the music playing and the atmosphere lively while keeping visitors up to the minute on car show happenings from start to finish. Dash plaques, Best in Class Awards, Top 25 Food, Music and an Antique Tractor Display will

be featured. There will also be a 50/50 drawing, and selfguided manor house tours will be $7. Classic cars will be spread among the grassy areas and large shade trees of the historic site. To kick off the event, a sock hop is scheduled for July 11 from 6-10 p.m. with special guest DJ, Tommy Gunn, from Jamminâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 99.9 FM. Special discount tickets are available for car show registrants, and details are available on the website. The arts and crafts and flea market on the grounds and in the Cultural Arts Center barn will be open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. A wide selection of arts and crafts, gently used attic treasures, collectibles and more will be available for visitors to browse and shop. More than 35 vendors are expected. Another display suitable for the historic peanut plantation will be the collection of antique tractors, both farm and garden varieties, to indulge farm fans of all ages. The tractors will be situated in the lower pasture area. For hungry and thirsty guests, vendors will be available for a variety of favor-

ite festival food and drinks. Items will include: funnel cakes, kettle cor n, Polish sausage, corn dogs, barbeque, wraps, hot dogs, sub sandwiches, honey roasted nuts and more.Â Highway 55 will be there with frozen custard, orange, lemon and limeades and root beer floats. Guests are invited to enjoy eating at the picnic tables under the shade trees. Poplar Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s BJ Ryan coordinates the event each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love to see people of all ages, our local community members, as well as visitors to the area at our events.Â Poplar Grove is a treasure that we love to share. We appreciate the support to help preserve this beautiful historic site in an area that is rapidly being developed,â&#x20AC;? she said. Ryan says the car show was started when some of the car guys told them that Poplar Grove was a great place to have a show. With many car shows on asphalt/concrete with no trees, Poplar Groveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grassy lawn and shade was a nice change - especially for a summer show.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;They helped us get it started and are still involved,

Horse rescue group begins work on new farm By Jefferson Weaver Special to the Post & Voice Work has begin on a horse rehabilitation facility in Pender County. The U.S. Equine Rescue League (USERL) Southeast Coast Region recently leased the old farm off Lillington Road for a nominal fee, volunteers with the organization said. The horse farm had been unused for some time, but with a little elbow grease will be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;really outstanding facilityâ&#x20AC;? for the group, chapter director Debbie Bartholomew said. USERL-Southeast Coast is part of a national, non-profit horse rescue organization. They work with law enforcement to investigate cases of large animal abuse and neglect, and help steer horse owners toward better care for

their animals. The group is not a law enforcement agency, and operates solely off of taxdeductible donations. Volunteers spent much of this past weekend pulling fence and working on the buildings at the new farm, which could be put to good use in the very near future. USERL Southeast was called in to assist in a possible case of hoarding in Sampson County earlier this month. More than 50 horses of all ages, breeds, and sizes, most suffering from a variety of illnesses and injuries, were discovered on a farm near Dunn. The league is assisting Sampson County on an as-needed basis with the horses, and set up feed and donation accounts at a number of businesses across the area, including B&K Supply in Burgaw. Around a dozen horses, ponies and miniature

horses have been removed from the farm, Bartholomew said. The group is reaching out to area equestrians and farm owners for donations to equip the new farm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Basically, we need everything,â&#x20AC;? said Bartholomew. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to completely outfit this farm to be able to provide care for horses in need.â&#x20AC;? Fencing, tools, cleaning supplies, feed bins, barrels and buckets, watering troughs and tubs, plastic storage containers, medical supplies, and equipment from leadlines and halters to haybale frames are needed. Donations are tax-deductible, and arrangements can be made to pick up donations. Youth groups, horse clubs, 4H clubs and school groups are encouraged to volunteer even a little bit of time, Barthlomew said.

Burgaw resident produces video on townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hollywood connection By Lori Kirkpatrick Contributing Writer Burgaw resident Michael Raab is a man who wears many hats: musician, songwriter, publisher, photographer, historian and videographer. His most recent work, a 12-minute documentary Hometown Hollywood, premiered June 25 at the Pender County Library. The project was born out of mere contemplation, when Raab wondered how many productions had been done in the small town of Burgaw. He stepped back one day to tally them up and when the list grew to 30, he knew he had a story. The venture expanded

into what Raab now describes as a bit of a romance story of Burgaw loving Hollywood and Hollywood loving Burgaw. When Raab realized that all these productions had been done in the exact same area surrounding the Pender County Courthouse, he knew he had more than just a good story; he had a great story. The historian with a camcorder recognized that this was a story worth saving. His store-to-store visits revealed that each of them had been used in a movie, some several times. They all had stories that no one had heard, and pictures that no one had seen. Being a movie buff him-

self, Raab was fascinated by this wealth of material. When the documentary was completed, he realized that it was also a bit personal because he had become a part of this filmland relationship. There are many stories of Burgawâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with the film industry, including the conversion of the Burgaw Antiqueplace into a Woolworthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s during the filming of Freedom Song. Harrellsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Department Store tur ned into a speakeasy in My Life in Idlewild, featuring hip-hop member Big Boi of OutKast. Burgaw was transformed into

Keep it sober and safe for the Fourth of July

On Island Time

As America prepares to celebrate its independence, law officers are gearing up to make sure people can stay safe as well as free. There’s really no excuse for driving while impaired, whether on a boat or on the road. Drunk driving is dangerous, not just to the driver who is impaired, but to the public at large.

A holiday any day I didn’t make it to the island this Memorial Day weekend, and I didn’t even miss it. No, this year I was pet sitting at the ‘palace’ with my favorite golden retrievers. I typically spend the holiday on Oak Island with my college buddies, but I missed our annual reunion as well, knowing I was right where I needed to be. Like most things, a holiday is a mindset and I had mine at my home away from home with a few of my favorite friends. I hear the beach was bustling with tons of tourists kicking off the summer season. I definitely don’t miss that part; tourist season is just one of the minor inconveniences of living on an island. Some months are better than others of course, especially considering my rotating neighbors for three months straight. But I enjoy solitude for the other three quarters of the year, while everyone else dreams of doing what I do every day. My friend warned me years ago that living on the island is a bit of a double edged sword; no longer a getaway where troubles reside on the opposite side of the bridge, but a lifestyle where everything is right there with you. While it looks like everyone else is on vacation, we have our work, chores, mail, and daily to dos. Rather than rolling out of bed and camping on the beach with a cooler all day, I am taking care of business, but living on island time. As others lounge leisurely on the beach I am walking, wondering, sometimes worrying about what comes next. I don’t often immerse myself in that extended excursion from reality, but as an independent entrepreneur, it goes with the territory. But working with a water view, taking breaks on the beach and swimming six month of the year are well worth the tradeoff. Some folks take a few days to slip into vacation mode, so by the time they get totally relaxed its time to return to reality. I definitely don’t have that challenge. And while I still travel to the mainland many times monthly, just seeing the swing bridge is all it takes to bring me back to Island time. Of course I have learned to work on the beach as well. Writing is much more fun on a legal pad in a beach chair than on a computer and walking and talking a speech is premier preparation. But distractions abound; like sunshine and blue skies, rolling waves and water, the cooler, the magazines, and of course the back of my eyelids. Any day can be a holiday, where ever you are. Life is what you make it and is mandated by your mindset. So why not make your day a holiday, what have you got to lose? –Gail Ostrishko is a columnist with the Post & Voice.

Newsings & Musings

By Edith Batson Post Staff Writer Independence Day Does everyone know what July 4 really is? Do we just think it is another holiday to go to the beach or go on vacation? History has never been one of my favorite subjects, but I do know that the significance of July 4, 1776 is the day this wonderful nation of ours declared its independence and became the United States of America. Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was the place where George Washington was chosen Chief of the Continental Army. On July 4, 1776, John Hancock signed the Declaration of Independence and the Liberty Bell, now displayed on the first floor, proclaimed the news from the tower on July 8. The Declaration of Independence reads like this: In Congress July 4, 1776, The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America, When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature

In addition to providing constituent services and crafting laws on your behalf, I take seriously my responsibility to stand strong for our individual liberties and freedoms.

Continued from page 4A Team USA can still win. At this writing, I think they are getting ready to play Belgium, or some other country we liberated from the Nazis so they could adopt a semisocialist government. No one from Team USA has bitten anyone recently, which is more than you can say for some American boxers, or the Suarez feller, who really needs to have a snack before hitting the soccer field. No one from Team USA has made any controversial political remarks; instead they have confined their comments to what they know best, soccer. No one from Team USA has gotten into trouble for smoking pot and kicking people’s seats in a theater (like that silly young actor the other night, who insisted the New York Police couldn’t arrest him).

and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Information from World Book Encyclopedia) We all know that with independence comes responsibility. We must support our government by paying taxes to pay salaries, use for military pay and keeping a strong military presence in the world, paying for roads, schools, and all the other necessary needs of government. But government must be accountable for it’s spending and be good stewards of the money God and the people have entrusted to it. I always remember what Theodore Roosevelt said about keeping military strong. “Walk gently but carry a big stick.” Sorta like be prepared. Hope you never

have to use it but be prepared anyway. Ronald Reagan said once “A nation that is not under God will soon be a nation going under.” Low country boil Saturday afternoon, in a terrific downpour, our church bus left for Topsail Beach for Adult Fellowship Supper at the beach home of Harold and Sadie Pollock. Sitting down to the tables laden with fresh clams, shrimp (still in the shell or skin) corn on the cob and other boiled foods, we nibbled and chewed and munched on everything delicious. I concentrated on the fresh young corn on the cob. It was the first I had eaten this year and oh, was it yummy. There were two pieces on the table in front of me. I ate those with melted butter on top. How can anybody eat a fresh ear of corn and not think that God had a hand in making it? I was waiting to see if anyone ate the third piece. It was still there when most people seemed to have finished, so I ate it lovingly. The shrimp were good too, but it reminded me of a birthday dinner her daughter was having for Arthur’s sister, Mary Alice Ward of Lumberton. We went

to a restaurant between Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach. I ordered shrimp. When my plate arrived, it had shrimp but the skins-and HEADS –were still attached! I looked at Arthur pleadingly. He patted my arm and said “I’ll peel them for you.” What a relief Just don’t think I could have tackled those heads – ugh. Anyway I peeled the shrimp, I ate and enjoyed them. Back to the corn. Arthur’s father always had a wonderful vegetable garden, and fresh young corn on the cob was my favorite. When we ate with them, I always started with corn, Mr. Batson used to laugh and say “That gal can eat more corn than I feed my hogs!” We gathered on the deck facing the sound, to watch the sun go down and tell a few stories too. It was very peaceful to swing gently, rock, or sit in chairs and enjoy the evening. The sunset was a lovely color of pink, orange, and more. It is almost undescribable. I put my sunglasses on and was amazed at the way the sunglasses enhanced the colors in the sunset. I thought, “That must be what rose colored glasses meant.” How can anyone see

a gorgeous sunset and think it could come into being other than by the hand of our Creator God? Wow! What an awesome God we have! It was probably 9:30 p.m. or so when we got back to Burgaw. Of course it was dark and I don’t like to drive after dark. I had planned to ask Stephen to get me home safely, but Tommy and Cathy Bradshaw insisted on taking me home. Tommy drove my car and Cathy and Jo Ann Newman (who lives in their area) followed us to the house. Tommy insisted on seeing me to the door. It’s so nice to have a gentleman around! What a great way to spend a Saturday evening. Thanks to the host committee: Harold and Sadie, Fred and Sandra Gorsky, Ruth Glaser and Bob Woolard, Pat and Sonny Davis, Cathy Claris and Tommy Bradshaw, and Dot Mills. Cathy was our expert bus driver and got us to the beach in the rain and back home in the dark. Thanks, Cathy. Ice cream Burgaw Presbyterian had an ice cream and talent show Sunday afternoon. Many home- made flavors of ice cream were enjoyed, along with cookies, cake and fudge. The talent included lots of young dancers and singers—

and little “would-be” performers who ran around and tried to imitate the others. Ron Murphy was MC and Nancy Rivenbark helped with music and obtaining talent. Skits and solos and trios added to the talent. Story of older times was enjoyed. Harold Pollock and Ron did some magic tricks and bantered back and forth. It was fun and especially good to see so many “little ones” enjoying it. Thanks for an interesting and funny evening. Sick list Eloise Farrior is continuing to recuperate at home, with help. She is continuing to take some oxygen but is getting stronger each day. Edith is getting around on her knee scooter. Still can’t put weight on her foot because of the Achille’s tendon surgery on her foot. Closing thought Remember, our freedom and independence don’t always come cheap. Let’s stand up for our beliefs, be tolerant of others, and most of all let us love the Lord with all our soul, mind, and strength, and our neighbor as ourselves. God bless American. I remember hearing Kate Smith sing it and always enjoyed her rendition of it. Shalom!

Due to this obligation, I have been very involved in the Constitutional effort designed by the framers of our Constitution to help secure our rights and liberties. Article V of the United States Constitution provides two methods to propose amendments to the Constitution. Amendment proposals may be initiated either by Congress or by the States. Regardless of which avenue is used, any proposed amendment must be ratified by three-fourths of the States (38 States) in order to become law. While the framers provided the constitutional authority for such, they left the structural details of a Convention of the States to the States themselves. Therefore, we are recommending a House Select Committee to carefully study the issue in order to provide a responsible and prudent approach if North Carolina were to be involved in a Convention of States for the purpose of proposing amendments. The framers understood the nature of mankind, and that the tendency of the

federal government could render it unwilling or incapable to limit its own power and authority. The current generation of Americans has witnessed a constant expansion of federal government scope, power, and cost. Many are rightfully concerned that the unsustainable massive debt and its continuing growth will stifle opportunity for liberty and freedom for our children and successive generations. Many believe that America faces its greatest challenge to date. It is well documented that the framers insisted that there be an amendment process that could be initiated by the States. While they could not envision the details of the future, they understood and feared the potential that the federal government could become too powerful. They absolutely did not want the newly created entity (the federal government) to become authoritarian over its creators (the states). Article V is one of the important checks and balances instituted to maintain a balance to keep as much power as

possible closer to the people. Certainly it is highly unlikely that Congress will step forward and propose restraints on itself – therefore we must employ the very provision left for such a time as this by way of a Convention of the States to propose amendments. But while there is hope in the Article V process, it is important to be cautious, careful, and prudent when it comes to moving towards a Convention of States to propose amendments to the Constitution. The ultimate check on the process of a Convention of the States is the fact any amendment proposed would have to be ratified by three-fourths of the States to become an amendment to the Constitution. With this House Select Committee proposed through House Resolution 1206, it is my desire that North Carolina will examine the issue and work towards binding legislation regarding the selection and purview of delegates that would be sent on behalf of the State to Convention. Other states have al-

ready acted to ensure that appointed delegates will properly represent their state at a Convention of States. Delegates would be properly restrained and the will of the people enforced. Now is the time to act to protect our liberty and preserve our Union. I commend the passage of House Resolution 1206 and hope you will join me in support.

Instead, Team USA shook the hands of the Germans who beat them. Some of the Germans looked confused. Fear not—I am not trading in my camouflage or my riding jeans for team colors. I have no particular desire to learn the rules and mechanics of soccer. If I watch a ball game on July 4, it will be baseball, preferably live, and preferably sitting on a set of rickety bleachers with a bunch of proud parents who could fit their little Babe Ruth and his or her whole team in the minivan, with room to spare.

Ecological Marine Adventures

Learning about microscopes By Katherine Murphy Special to the Post & Voice This week at Ecological Marine Adventures we learned all microscopes. During all of our weekly classes we used compound, dissections, and digital microscopes to get an up close look at all the amazing things in the world around us. During our daily exploration adventures of our marine world the kids collected various samples of mud, sand, grasses, seaweed, water, shells, and bones to view under the microscopes. The kids were amazed to view the detail and textures of the different items they collected. We were able to learn that the mud and sand hold many small creatures that play an important role in the food web and our ecosystem. The

kids were amazed when we let some salt water evaporate and then saw the beautiful salt crystals left behind. It was so fun to see the kids explore and collect things with the goal of viewing and observing them under the different microscopes. Each little thing they found now held a world of possibility’s and discoveries not visible to the naked eye but could be explored and discovered by getting a closer look with microscopes. The EMA summer season runs through Aug. 23 and we are offering a free Community Marine Science Class on the beach at the Goldsboro Public Beach Access in Surf City every Tuesday from 1-2 p.m. During these classes we will be teaching children and families how to seine net and catch some interesting species

of animals in the surf zone. This is a wet activity so come in bathing suits. We will also have a short marine science lesson about the animals caught and answer questions. Preregistration is not required for this class, just show up and be ready to have fun and learn. EMA is still registering for some summer 2014 Classes Most summer classes are full with very few remaining spaces. Please visit www. EMAtopsail.com for more information. Remember email is our preferred method of contact. Have a great week, and remember protect, preserve, and enjoy your amazing marine world.

Before you apply, consider contacting the college so we can help you present your best self and improve your chances of being hired. Cape Fear Community College, together with the Division of Workforce Solutions (formerly ESC), is working closely with Acme Smoked Fish to identify, screen, and train employees. The first round of applicant screening will begin in late July. This is a multi-step process, and we will be here to help you prepare. The Division of Workforce Solutions, located at 904 S. Walker Street in Burgaw, can assist you with the actual application process. You can reach them by phone at 910259-0240 or just stop by during office hours. Here at the Burgaw Center, we are offering some preemployment classes through our HRD program that will help you with resumes, cover letters, and interview skills. We will also give you valuable information about submitting your application. Most importantly, we can help you prepare for the Career Readiness Certification, which Acme has listed as a preference for its employees. When you’re ready, you can take the assessment here as well. Call the Burgaw Center at 910-362-7901 for more information and to register for our Ready to Work/CRC Lab or our Pre-employment Skills for Success class. If you are unemployed or working but not making much money, the fee for these classes will be waived and won’t cost you anything but your time and dedication. The great thing about our Ready to Work/CRC Lab is that once you register for class, come in for a session with the instructor, and get signed on to the Career Ready 101 program, you can work from any computer and get credit for the time you spend in the system preparing for your assessment. That gives you so much flex-

ibility. If you don’t have computer access at home, we have computers here at the Burgaw Center that you can use even if the lab is not in session. How can you lose? These classes are also offered through the Wilmington Campus. You can call 910-3627324 for more information on classes in Wilmington. This week, I’m going to stray just a little from the programs that I create and manage to tell you about some other great educational opportunities in Pender County that you might not have heard about. Do you or someone you know need to complete high school? It doesn’t matter how old you are, you’re never too old to achieve that milestone. With express enrollment it’s so easy. CFCC Basic Skills Department offers GED preparation classes in Burgaw, Hampstead, and Surf City. If you’re over 18 years old, you don’t even have to attend any registration or orientation sessions in Wilmington to get started. All you have to do is show up a few minutes early for class at the designated place and time, and your instructor can get you started. The classes cost you nothing, you just need to bring your state issued photo ID (driver’s license is good) and your social security card. Vicky Valand is the coordinator for these courses. She is located on the downtown campus and can be reached at 910-362-7457 or by email at vbvaland57@mail.cfcc.edu. You can also call the Burgaw Center at 910-362-7901 for information about classes in Burgaw. These programs are currently on a short summer break and will resume in midJuly. Find out now what you need to know to be ready to get started! Have you ever wanted to learn auto collision repair? Did you know that CFCC offers classes for that right here in Burgaw?

Four courses are scheduled for fall 2014 – Painting & Refinishing I, Non-Structural Damage I, Intro to Transport Tech, and Basic Welding for Transportation. T h e s e a re c u r r i c u l u m courses, so the application and registration process is different than for the continuing education courses. For all the information you need to know about these classes, you can contact Gerald Waller at 910362-7291. Summer schedule is winding down, but we do still have a few new classes coming up. Our creative writing class is scheduled to start July 14 at 6 p.m. You’ll learn how to use your life experiences to create stories of fiction and non-fiction. We also have two evening nurse aide classes starting in July. Nurse Aide I begins July 21 and runs Monday and Wednesday nights, 5-10 p.m. Nurse Aide II begins July 22 and runs Tuesday and Thursday nights, 5-10 p.m. You can register in person at the Burgaw Center, but call first so you know what to bring: 910-362-7901. Using spreadsheets is a very important part of work and often home life too. We have a class for that. Our Microsoft Excel class begins July 15 and runs every Tuesday, 5:30-8:30 pm through Sept. 2. Check out our new website at cfcc.edu/pendercounty for a full listing of continuing education classes. I’ll be posting fall schedule when I get back from vacation. Have a great Independence Day and thank a veteran. Watch for CFCC Pender Preview the first Wednesday of each month. I appreciate your attention and welcome suggestions—for the column, for classes, for special events. I would love to come speak to your church, club or civic organization. Give me a call at 910-362-7909, email me at chramsey835@cfcc.edu, or stop by for a chat. I look forward to seeing you.

Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and the brothers, James and John and led them up a high mountain where they were alone. As they looked, a change came over Jesus: his face was shining like the sun and his clothes were dazzling white. Then the three disciples saw Moses and Elijah talking with Jesus. When they returned to the crowd, a man came to Jesus and knelt before Him and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sir, have mercy on my son! He is possess of a demon and has such terrible attacks that he often falls in the fire or in water. I brought him to your disciples but they could heal himâ&#x20AC;Ś Jesus gave a command to the demon and it went out of the boy and at that very moment he was healed. Matthew 17: 1-3, 14-16, 18

Pender County unsolved crimes

Five years later Hampstead strangling case remains whodunit By Lindell Kay Special to the Post & Voice Falling in with the wrong crowd cost a Hampstead woman her life five years ago and left few clues as to who raped and strangled her. Beverly Ennis Moore, 52, is buried in Riverview Memorial Park in Wallace. A Wilmington native, Moore worked at General Electric for 18 years until retiring early. She lived at 2634 Sloop Point Road in a quiet neighborhood on the Intracoastal Waterway where residents can smell salt air and hear seagulls. Sloop Point has no through traffic and there had been little activity in the idyllic community except for a handful of burglaries that summer. Neighbors reported having a johnboat stolen among other complaints. Moore lived alone. Her rocky marriage led to a split. Court records show a history of drug and alcohol abuse by both Moore and her husband. She had been convicted of child abuse and assaulting a public official in April 2005. Her three daughters didn’t live with her at the time of her death, according to neighbors. At around 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 27, 2009, Moore’s estranged husband found her partially clothed and wet body in her bathtub. Toxicology reports showed a faint trace of an antidepressant, but no alcohol or other drugs were in Moore’s system. Responding deputies found no signs of a struggle and no indication the home had been broken into or anything had been taken.

But a closer look at autopsy showed she had been strangled. Her right eye was blackened and bruises peppered her body. She had been sexually assaulted and sodomized. Bleach had been used to destroy DNA evidence. Her husband was a suspect immediately. But the more law enforcement worked the case, the more they became convinced her husband wasn’t involved. Her husband told detectives and reporters that he feared Moore had fallen in with the wrong crowd. One of those bad elements was James Gorby. “James Gorby and Beverly Moore had a relationship,” Pender County Sheriff ’s Capt. Jamie Ezzell, who reviews Moore’s case file on a regular basis. Gorby’s wild-haired appearance looked eerily similar to one of two composite sketches drawn of two men a witness saw in the Sloop Point area the day Moore died. “Oh, I remembered him. I knew who he was right away.” Ezzell said of Gorby who had a criminal history in Pender County stretching back to 1991 and including convictions for breaking and entering and kidnapping. In 1996, he busted out of the Pender County Jail. Ezzell helped track down Gorby when he was an escapee. “He’s been trouble for years. He was a strong person of interest in Moore’s murder; we just didn’t have the evidence.” The man in the other sketch was identified and arrested for an unrelated break-in in the area, but cleared in the

Beverly Ennis Moore Moore case, said Scott Lawson, a former Pender County Sheriff ’s detective who worked the case. “The Beverly Moore case really bothered me,” Lawson said last week. “It’s one of the only few major crimes I worked I wasn’t able to bring to court.” Lawson worked for the Pender County Sheriff ’s Office for nearly two decades. He left in 2010 to train police officers in Afghanistan. “Seeing her in her tub like that, seeing the amount of abuse...I had to take a minute and say to myself, ‘ok, it’s time to start doing the job,’” Lawson said. “I take every case personally, Beverly Moore more than most.” A combined reward of $10,000 from the state and family members wasn’t enough

Protect your Medicare card from identity theft Dear Savvy Senior, I just tur ned 65 and received my Medicare card. I see that the ID number on my card is the same as my Social Security number, and on the back of the card it tells me I need to carry it with me at all times. What can I do to protect myself from identify theft if my purse and Medicare card get stolen? Conflicted Beneficiary Dear Conflicted, Many people new to Medicare are surprised to learn that the ID number on their Medicare card is identical to their Social Security number (SSN). After all, we’re constantly warned not to carry our SSN around with us, because if it gets lost or stolen, the result could be identity theft. But the Medicare ID is more than an identifier. It’s proof of insurance. Beneficiaries need to show their Medicare card at the doctor’s office and the hospital in order to have Medicare pay for treatment. Over the years, many consumer advocates, have called for a new form of Medicare identification. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which administers Medicare, also acknowledges the problem, but so far nothing has been done. One of the main reasons is because it would cost an estimated $255 to $317 million to fix it. And that’s just the direct cost to the federal government. It doesn’t include the

expense for physicians and other healthcare providers to adjust their systems, or the cost to the states. Other government health systems like the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Defense have already begun using ID numbers that are different from SSNs, but no one knows when Medicare will follow suit. In the meantime, here are some tips offered by various consumer advocate groups that can help keep your Medicare card safe and out of the hands of fraudsters. Protect your card For starters, AARP suggests that you simply don’t carry your Medicare card at all, because it’s not necessary. Most healthcare providers already have their patients in their electronic systems and know how to bill you. But if you really don’t feel comfortable not having it with you, then the Privacy Rights Clearing House, a national consumer resource on identity theft recommends that you make a photocopy of your card and cut it down to wallet size. Then use scissors to cut out the last four digits of your SSN, or take a black marker and cross them out, and carry that instead. You will, however, need your actual Medicare card with you the first time you

visit a new health care provider, who will likely want to make a photocopy of it for their files. If you’ re wor ried that you’ll need your card in an emergency situation in order to get care, you should know that emergency personnel cannot refuse you care until you show an insurance card. Although you’ll need to come up with billing information before leaving a hospital, that doesn’t mean you won’t receive care. Lost or stolen cards If your Medicare card does happen to get lost or stolen, you can replace it by calling Social Security at 800-7721213. You can also apply for a new card online at ssa.gov/ medicarecard or go to your local Social Security office. If your Medicare card has been lost or stolen, you will need to watch out for Medicare fraud. You can do this by checking your quarterly Medicare summary notices for services or supplies you did not receive. If you spot anything suspicious or wrong, call the Inspector General’s fraud hotline at 800-447-8477. If you need help identifying Medicare fraud, contact your state Senior Medicare Patrol program. See smpresource.org or call 877-808-2468 for contact information. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.

to compel anyone to come forward. With no solid leads except Gorby, who wasn’t cooperating, the Moore case went cold. Two years later investigators thought they had caught a big break when Gorby was charged in a different homicide. Gorby broke into his stepfather’s home to steal firearms. His stepfather returned home to catch Gorby

red-handed. Gorby opened up his stepfather’s torso with a 12-guage shotgun and finished the job with a .22-caliber bullet to the head. The sheriff ’s office announced shortly after Gorby’s arrest that he had been a suspect in Moore’s death. Last year, in a legal maneuver to avoid the death penalty Gorby pleaded guilty to killing his stepfather. Gorby is serving his life sentence in Central Prison in Raleigh where he has had five infractions in the year he’s been incarcerated. Those infractions include profanity and fighting, according to the N.C. Public Safety Department. Lawson said as long as enough evidence can’t be collected to bring a suspect to court the case remains a true whodunnit. Moore’s untimely death was the first murder in eastern Pender County since 2002, according to archived reports from The Topsail Voice. The case is Pender’s only unsolved homicide in the last few decades. Anyone with any information about the case is asked to call the Pender County Sheriff ’s Office at 910-259-1212.

Detectives say this sketch depicts James Gorby, who was spotted near Beverly Moore’s Hampstead home around the time she died. He is serving life in prison for an unrelated murder. Callers may remain anonymous. A reward is available for information that leads to a conviction in the case. –Award-winning freelance investigative reporter Lindell Kay helps law enforcement resolve missing person and murder cases in North Carolina.

Trask Titan basketball looks to continue run By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Heide Trask Titan men’s basketball coach Rodney Orr believes things happen for a reason. He believes that every stop he has made has made him a better coach. That seems to be the case as the veteran coach seems to have turned the cor ner with the Trask basketball program. The Titans won the 1A part of the Four County 1A/2A Conference last year and made it to the regional semifinals before their season ended. After a season like that Coach Orr could rest on his laurels. Not Coach Orr. The Titan men’s basketball team has begun their summer program. Orr hopes that the team will use the summer to work on their skills and build some camaraderie. The team loses seven seniors including leading scorer and player of the year Rasheed Brown along with all conference forward Marcus Porter. Orr will have to replace four starters. They may seem to

be a daunting task for most coaches but Orr looks at the glass as half full rather than half empty. “We’ve got a good mix of kids on the team. We’re looking for Tyquan Davis to

Pender Youth Soccer works for fall season By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

Pender Youth Soccer preparing for fall season It seems that the sport of soccer is growing in leaps and bounds. The Pender Youth Soccer Association is growing with the sport. The league is currently in the midst of signing up combatants for the fall league. League secretary Kelli Flake has set up sign ups on three different dates in July and has had two sign ups already. “We have had a pretty good response so far for the fall league. It’s kind of early but the numbers are pretty good. We hope the next three sign ups will be good. The spring league had 184 soccer players from ages four to 15. We hope to surpass that number for the

fall league.” There are four age groups. They are U-7,U-10,U-13, AND U-16. Each age group will get a shirt and socks while the parents are required to buy the shorts. PYSA was founded to give the youth of the area a chance to play organized soccer. The leagues goals are to teach the kids the fundamentals of the game while making sure that they have fun. The league is run by volunteers and is a nonprofit organization. Flake says that if it wasn’t for the sponsors of the league it would be impossible to survive. “The sponsors are great. We really appreciate them stepping up to help the kids and the community out. Without them there would be no league.”

Pender Youth Soccer sign ups will be July 12 , July 19 and July 26 at the Pender County Library in Burgaw. The next three sign ups are July 12 from 1-4 p.m., July 19 from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.,

and July 26 from 1-4 p.m. All sign ups are at the Burgaw Library.

Panfish tournament survives bad weather By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer Danny Brinkley of Backyard Baits has been a fresh water fishing enthusiast for a long time. He has fished the Cape Fear River here in Pender and New Hanover County for a few years and has recently opened up his bait shop with the intentions of giving the local anglers a viable option for getting baits that work on the rivers and other fresh water spots in the area. Last week Brinkley held what he hopes will be a monthly venture in the Backyard Baits panfish tour nament. Although the weather did not cooperate he still had nine boats and quite a few fish, come weigh in time. “The rain and thunder kind of put a damper on some of the guys coming out but we still had nine boats,” said Brinkley. “We hope to do this about once a month. It gives these guys something to fish for. Most of them are competitive and love to fish. We do too.” The weigh in was moved from 3 p.m. to 2 p.m. due to the storms in the area. As each boat came in the fish would

In case you haven’t noticed, there is a new sport on the horizon in the United States of America. The game of soccer is quickly becoming a sport that most every American participates in either by playing or watching. I know what you’re thinking. Where have you been? Soccer has been popular for a while. I guess I am behind the curve. I fought it for many years. I just couldn’t grasp the thought of following a game that was not invented in America. I will admit that one of the things that turned me off was the fact that there was way too much running. It seemed senseless to me to do all of that running to get to a ball that you could not pick up with your hands. Why that was un-American, I thought! Over the years I have watched many games. I have learned some of the rules although I admit that I still get them confused. I have watched the sport grow slowly until it has become a viable option for our youth.

There have been a couple of people that have been instrumental in my reversal. Cathy Claris has won me over with her passion for the game. She has coached both the men’s and women’s teams at Heide Trask at one time of another. She recently led the girls team to their best record ever. Her enthusiasm for the game is contagious. Russell Lewis has been her assistant for quite a few years. I have known Russell for years and I remember him playing the game back in the late seventies and early eighties. He loved the game then and loves the game now. He taught his son the game as Cathy taught her sons the game. He heads the officials for the PYSA league and does an outstanding job. My grandson loves the game and as an 11 year old is pretty darned good at it. He has also brought me closer to the game. Because of his love for the game my granddaughters have been involved. I coached softball for years and have coached youth football. I have watched the soccer league slowly grow at the expense of the baseball and softball leagues. It is a given that the PYSA will one day trump the baseball and softball leagues. I think that I will try and volunteer to help coach my grandsons’ team or maybe even my granddaughters team. I think it is high time I jump on the soccer train and get with the program. After all, I have become a soccer fan.

When the clouds move in the fresh water fishing gets better. The bream bite has been pretty good. The area anglers have been catching some nice fish using the hybrid bream busters from backyard baits along with the occasional cricket. The cats have been on and off with anglers using cut up eel and small bream. There was a report of a 20 plus pound catfish being caught last week off of the little pier at the Castle Hayne landing. The angler used a small bream as bait. The salt water arena is on fire right now. The reds and flatfish are showing up in good numbers in the backwaters. Live mud minnows along with gulp baits are doing the trick for the flounder while the reds are hitting top water baits along with gulp. The Spanish are hitting Clark spoons being trolled right off of the beach and plugs off of the piers. Pier anglers are hooking up with some spots and sea mullet. A bottom rig with shrimp will do the trick here. This week’s fishing tip Owning a boat can be very rewarding. It gets you to the areas that you need to be to catch fish. However, just because you have a boat does not mean that you automatically will catch fish. If you are fishing fresh water arenas such as the river or lakes and ponds it is almost imperative that you have a trolling motor. This will help you in bodies of water where there is a lot of current and will also get you into those shallow areas that hold fish. In both fresh and salt waters one of the best investments is a depth/fish

finder. I can tell you from experience that if you fish in the Topsail area you will need one. I have found that there are many areas that hold fish but getting to them is another story. It takes a lot of practice and many hours on the water to become a seasoned angler. Remember to ask a lot of questions. Some will tell you what you want to know while some will not. However, you never know until you ask.

Goff puts in the athletic time at Pender High

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

There are many different types of leaders when it comes to athletics. Some are vocal leaders. Those vocal leaders may teach by constructive criticism or by positive feedback. Rising senior Ben Grossnickle is one of those players that lead by example. He leads the soccer team by his hard work on game day and in practice. Ben was one of the reasons for the Titans successful season last year. He played with great intensity and enthusiasm. He brought his best game to the field on each and every day. He will bring his vast knowledge to the game this year as a senior. Through his hard work and dedication he will set forth a good example for the younger players. The Titans should be very competitive this year. Ben Grossnickle will be one of the reasons for the team’s success.

As a freshman Bryce Cota just worked hard to get better at the game of baseball. As a sophomore he showed great improvement as a utility player. He was charged with doing everything from bunting the runner over to bailing out the starting pitching on occasion. Bryce ended the year with a 2-1 record on the mound with a complete game two hitter against RutherfordtonSpindale Central. The left-hander baffled his opposition with an array of breaking balls and pinpoint control on that night. He also pitched four innings of one hit ball against Trask. Bryce Cota has a ton of potential as a crafty left-hander. He is sure to get plenty of innings over the summer as well as next year for the current state champion Topsail Pirates. Rest assured that Cota will be prepared for his increased role for the Pirate hardballers.

When rising junior Brianna Goff gets out of school for the summer you can bet that she will be playing travel softball. Although softball seems to be her go to sport that does not mean that she does not play any of the other sports offered to females at Pender High School. Last year she played volleyball, basketball and softball. She spent countless hours after school practicing each one of those sports in preparation for the seasons. Although she may not have started in each game in each sport she gave it her best effort in practice and in each game that she played. The teams were sure to get her best effort in every minute of every game. Goff will enter her junior year a more experienced athlete. That should culminate into more minutes in each sport. Brianna Goff definitely spends time on Pender athletics.

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Wednesday, July 2, 2014, Page 6B

Sea Turtle Hospital News By Karen Sota Sea Turtle Hospital Special to the Post & Voice Spotlight on Karina Brocco-French Don’t try to pin this little gal down in any way. The way she flits through the hospital reflects her life. Born in Malaysia, Karina has lived in Connecticut, Spain, El Salvador, Venezuela and lastly Arlington Va. She’s somehow managed to grow a few roots in Virginia where she is majoring in Biology (minor in Marine Science) at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg. Karina has been working in a research lab on campus, studying invertebrates like sand dollars and starfish. Our internship appealed to her because she “wanted to work with an animal that had a backbone.” She wanted hands-on experience. Our turtles have spines, and we certainly have our hands all over them, so even though Karina says she approaches life with no expectations she got exactly what she hoped for. Karina talks to our patients all the time, especially her favorite, Geo. Talking to turtles – who are pretty good listeners and generally accepting – has made it easier for her to talk to our visitors, especially the kids. And it’s made her more confident in her role as an educator during our afternoon tours. She’s now comfortable relating to the variety of visitors and all the questions they throw at her after spending the last month immersed in sea turtle care and talk therapy as an intern. Karina looks at every day as an opportunity to learn something new. One of the life lessons she’s learned is how to adapt to different management styles. Even though most of our volunteers are now on the afternoon shift the interns are not left to fend for themselves. At least one team leader is always available to answer questions and guide them through new procedures, and everybody has a different approach on how to manage, and

Sea Turtle Hospital intern Karina Brocco-French how to pass along knowledge. Adaptability is a good thing, and she sees it as a chance to keep learning. Karina recommends our internship to anyone with an interest in sea turtles, proclaiming it well rounded and an opportunity to learn new skills. In the process she’s learned a lot about herself, especially how to work well with people.” Now that she’s comfortable conversing with turtles and people, when she completes her degree she can learn how to talk to a different kind of animal, dolphins. She fell in love with the critters years ago after seeing them at a show in Spain and hopes to be able to work with them (and whales) in either husbandry or research. In her spare time Karina likes to listen to music and dance. She hates wearing shoes but you’ll find her adorned with lots of bling and big earrings. And if you see drawings on our hospital sidewalks you’ll know the culprit by the chalk on her hands and face Fill in holes on the beach We’re still hearing a lot of concern from our visitors about the state of our beaches.

Seems that everybody has an urge to dig these days, which is fine as long as the sand gets put back before you leave. Although they’re not black holes they can be just a treacherous for nesting sea turtles, sucking them in and trapping them as they come up to lay their eggs. Please fill in any hole you dig and pick up your trash before you leave for the day. Nesting update July is generally the month when the gals really get serious about their egg-laying, so visitors are more likely to have close encounters of the sea turtle kind. Although our Topsail Turtle Project volunteers are out with the sunrise through the end of August we also rely heavily on our locals and visitors to report any sighting of nesting turtles, as well as any turtles in any kind of distress. Please report all local sea turtle activity to our director of beach operations Terry Meyer at 910-470-2880. If unable to reach her you may also contact our hospital director Jean Beasley at 910-470-2800. The state also has a hotline for strandings, injured or sick turtles at 252-241-7367 and the

call will be picked up 24/7. Hospital visiting hours We are open daily except Wednesday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. General admission is $5. Seniors and Military admission is $4 and $3 for children. We are located at 302 Tortuga Lane, on the mainland in Surf City. Take the turn from Rts. 50/210 onto Charlie Medlin Drive at Shipwreck Point Mini Golf. Follow the road onto the gravel section and through the roundabout. We are the only building on Tortuga. We moved from Topsail Beach last fall so please do not go to the old location looking for us – many people have made that trek, most likely out of habit.

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist I frequently get into conversations about what was the most difficult hunt I have ever been on and what made it so difficult. The only thing easy about the hunt I would refer to is the fact that it is easy to pick that particular one as the hardest. A mountain lion hunt in Arizona back in 2008 consisted of temperature variations from 15 degrees in the morning to the high 80s by noon. The land was impossible to traverse other than by horseback, so a situation in which you would be stranded would become a survival situation in all likelihood. This meant the trip consisted of heavy preparation

for whatever circumstance that may present itself. The planning for such a trip can really enlighten you on what it takes just to live a few extra days without today’s comforts. The United States was built on such principles, and then as our nation became more and more successful through advances in the free enterprise system, we became much more specialized in our abilities. Through cooperation from each other it allowed our nation to succeed as no other has in history. That being said, the curse of our specialized abilities, or careers, has been the loss of knowledge to basic things. Recently, I heard a survey that found nearly 40 percent of Americans could not or have not made a sandwich in the last 12 months. At first I thought this seemed ridiculous, but after further thought, maybe not. Fewer people have the skill to cook with the access to fast food restaurants at nearly every corner. I remember vividly my grandmothers knitting or sewing and my grandfathers tilling and tending small gardens. These skills are slowly dwindling from our

bag of tricks. A nation that purchased Alaska for the purpose of self sustainability has lost the ability to rely only on ourselves in just a couple of generations. I interviewed Orion Darkwood a couple of weeks ago. Orion is the president of the Eastern North Carolina Preppers Association. He became interested in the pre pper movement while reading the book Lucifer’s Hammer which tells of a comet striking the earth and the resulting issues. Orion noticed lots of small groups but no real organized group for sharing ideas on preparing for whatever may come. He then took action in for ming the group and it has expanded to holding meetings both in Wilmington and Raleigh. When asked about the difference between reality and reality television with shows such as Doomsday Preppers, Orion explained reality TV is meant for entertainment, while in reality, true preppers are trying to become self-reliant. Prepping is not just about preparing for a cataclysmic event. It is the preparation for basically anything that would cause reliance on something other than yourself.

Orion notes preparation may include the ability to get your own fruits in case of a deep freeze in Florida that destroys a large orange crop to your well running dry. There are so many c i rc u m s t a n c e s i n wh i ch you could look to and think ‘what if ’ that it can become overwhelming trying to truly understand the full results of a situation. Just in my lifetime we have seen in our very own state of North Carolina gas lines a mile long during the 1970s and extended periods of power loss with hurricanes Hugo, Fran, and Floyd. We cannot afford to lose basic survival skills. The saying "jack of all trades, expert at nothing" may need to be rephrased as "expert at surviving." –Bill Howard is a lifelong N o r t h C a r o l i n a re s i d e n t and hunter. He is a lifetime member of the North Carolina Bowhunters Association, an associate member of Pope and Young, and an official measurer of both. He is a certified hunter education (IHEA) instructor and bowhunter education (IBEP) instructor. Please share your stories with Bill at BillHowardOutdoors@gmail. com.

Nomination period for Farm Service Agency open Ag ricu l t u re S e c re t a r y Tom Vilsack announced the nomination period for Farm Service Agency (FSA) county committees began Sunday, June 15. “County committees are a vital link between the farm community and the U.S. Department of Agriculture,” said Vilsack. “I hope that every eligible far mer and rancher will participate in this year’s county committee elections. Through the county committees, farmers and ranchers have a voice; their opinions and ideas get

to be heard on federal farm programs.” Vilsack added, “We’ve seen an increase in the number of nominations of women and minority candidates, and I hope that trend continues.” To be eligible to serve on an FSA county committee, a person must participate or cooperate in a program administered by FSA, be eligible to vote in a county committee election and reside in the local administrative area where the person is nominated. Farmers and ranchers may nominate themselves or oth-

ers. Organizations representing minorities and women also may nominate candidates. To become a candidate, an eligible individual must sign the nomination form, FSA-669A. The form and other information about FSA county committee elections are available at www.fsa.usda.gov/ elections. Nomination forms for the 2014 election must be postmarked or received in the local USDA Service Center by close of business on Aug. 1, 2014. Elections will take place this fall.

While FSA county committees do not approve or deny farm ownership or operating loans, they make decisions on disaster and conservation programs, emergency programs, commodity price support loan programs and other agricultural issues. Members serve three-year terms. Nationwide, there are about 7,800 farmers and ranchers serving on FSA county committees. FSA will mail ballots to eligible voters beginning Nov. 3, 2014. Ballots are due back to the local county office either via mail or in person by Dec. 1,

Moores Creek Battlefield summer camps Have you ever been to a reenactment or a historic site and wondered how those people got involved in firing the muskets and cannons or dressing up in historical clothing? Moores Creek National Battlefield will be hosting a free, two-week-long summer camp during the weeks of July 28-Aug. 1 and Aug. 4-8 for students ages 16-18 years old that will train and equip them to participate in these types of historical reenactments. During these two weeks, campers will experience the life of a militia soldier in Colonial North Carolina. They will learn how colonists lived, dressed, slept, ate, and trained as citizen soldiers defending their homes and their country. During the course of the two weeks, campers will train and, once proven capable, fire reproduction Revolutionary War muskets and cannons. They will also learn the basic skills of blacksmithing and colonial cooking.

They will learn to set up a militia tent and start a fire with flint and steel. Campers will then put their new training into action as they help the park staff conduct demonstrations for the general public, interpreting the daily life of a soldier within a colonial encampment. This camp is a fun-filled, action-packed, educational camp for boys and girls interested in Revolutionary War history. The camp is free and lunches and snacks will be provided. Camp hours are from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day. For more information or to enroll in the summer camp, please contact Matthew Woods at 910-283-5591 or at matthew_ woods@nps.gov or stop by the park’s visitor center and pick up an application. Must be 16 years of age or older to participate. Applicants under 18 must have parental consent. Space is limited to 12 campers, Deadline to enroll is July 11.

Wildlife officials seek information on wild turkey sightings in Pender The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is seeking public assistance in reporting observations of wild turkeys in Pender County and across the state this summer. From July 1 through Aug. 31, wild turkey sightings by volunteers and Wildlife Commission staff can be recorded and entered into an online database. The information gives an indication of annual wild turkey productivity, gobbler carryover and other population trends — all of which help the Commission manage the state’s turkey population. To participate, volunteers should use the online survey link on the Wildlife Commission’s website, www.ncwildlife.org, or directly at http:// ncwildlife.org/summerturkeysurvey. Survey summaries are made available on the Wildlife Commission’s wild turkey webpage, http://www. ncwildlife.org/Learning/Species/Birds/WildTurkey.aspx, while turkey hunting results in North Carolina may be

found online at http://www. ncwildlife.org/Hunting/SeasonsLimits/HarvestStatistics/ WildTurkeyHarvestReports. aspx. “Individual surveys are reported either through an online portal or a survey postcard,” said Ryan Myers, a surveys and research analyst with the Commission. “We ask volunteers to provide accurate counts of all turkeys observed.” After new volunteers submit observations, the Commission will automatically send a survey postcard the following year to provide an opportunity to participate again. Previous volunteer observers include members of the National Wild Turkey Federation — a valued partner of the Wildlife Commission in the reintroduction of the wild turkey in North Carolina. For more information or to participate in the wild turkey summer observation survey, contact Myers at 919-218-3376 or email ryan.myers@ncwildlife.org.

is available from your local Cooperative Extension office, usually free of charge. If you have a plant or bug you would like identified or a problem you would like diagnosed, call or stop by the Extension office in your county. Pender, Onslow, New Hanover and Brunswick County have trained, experienced Extension Master Gardener volunteers available to answer your gardening questions. To contact them in Pender County, call 259-1238. When you call or stop by, be prepared to describe the problem, including when it started, if it is spreading, and what the symptoms look like. For the best diagnosis, bring a sample that includes several leaves attached to the stem, or the whole plant or insect if possible. Samples should be taken from plants that are still living rather than those that have already died. Collect samples just before you plan

to visit the Extension office. Wrap the sample in a slightly moist paper towel or place it in a plastic bag to keep it from drying out, but do not leave it inside a hot car to bake for hours. If your local Extension center cannot identify your insect or plant disease sample, they will offer to send it to the Plant Disease and Insect Clinic (PDIC) at NC State University. For a charge of $30 per sample, the PDIC’s staff of entomologists and plant pathologists can diagnose and recommend treatment options for a wide range of plant and turf problems. If you prefer to submit your questions to be answered online, use Extension’s Ask an Expert widget, http://www. ces.ncsu.edu/ask-an-expert/. The widget even allows you upload pictures of the plant or pest you need help with and usually provides an answer from an Extension horticulture agent within 24 hours.

I like to travel. But not having to travel for my hip replacement was a blessing.

COLLISION REPAIR AND REFINISHING

When I had extreme pain in my hip, the doctors I have trusted for years gave Onslow Memorial the “thumbs up” for hip replacement.

I appreciated being able to stay right here in Onslow County for my surgery and my therapy. It gave me the chance to be closer to my family and my husband. And the doctors and staff were just so nice and compassionate. I’m almost ready to travel again. And I think a big part of that was because I didn’t have to travel at all for my treatment. ~ Gussie Marie Brantley Hip Replacement Patient

RSVP helps schools with EOG testing By Barbara Mullins RSVP Coordinator How many proctors does it take to support EOG testing in Pender County? We all know how boring this task is, and we all know how many long hours some of these days became. There are never enough volunteers (as many proctors ran between classrooms every few minutes). Thank you RSVP volunteers for the exce ptional support you gave this year. Please know that every school praised RSVP volunteers for their smiles and support. Every proctor coordinator told me that RSVP volunteers were the most dependable, timely, and never cancelled a commitment. Principals thanked us for our support during the year, but especially during this shortage of proctors. As a RSVP Director, these are wonderful things to hear. I just tallied up the amount of time Pender County RSVP volunteers gave proctoring and I can honestly tell you that I was amazed just how giving we were. We volunteered at West Pender, Topsail, Burgaw, and Cape Fear Middle School as well as rallied to the stress call from Pender Early College. We gave 212.5 relentless hours. Translated into dollars that equals $4,675.00 that was saved should school budgets have to include such an expense. State law requires a proctor in each classroom during testing. As you can see proctoring is such a valuable con-

tribution to our community and once again RSVP impacts our schools The blessings continue Once ag ain we need to thank Maple Hill Presbyterian Church for their generous donation which allows us to purchase Ensure and Glucerna for so many of our clients. Bringing these products to our clients is so rewarding because we know many of them do not eat enough, suffer through cancer treatments, need additional nutrients which provide them a healthier way of living. Most of our clients cannot afford to purchase these supplements and are so very appreciative. The RSVP staff (just us two girls) got our exercise when the truck arrived with 123 cases weighing 1,968 lbs. Who needed body pump that day? We got our work out getting all these into our office and then re-organizing them so we would have a little room to navigate our small quarters. Then a few days later we load two cars to transport to the other side of Pender County to supply the need there. We both agree that RSVP brings us diversity, challenges, excitement and lots of laughter and fun times. Never time to get bored or lazy in our RSVP world. We would love to have new volunteers to join us so we can keep providing support to those less fortunate. It is called Pay It Forward and what a reward comes with it. Call 910-259-9119 (ext 329) for more info on how you can make a difference in the life of a Pender county resident.

Topsail Senior Center news By Kay Stanley Topsail Senior Center Blood Pressure checks continue on the third Thursday from 11 a.m. until 1pm. These are offered by the Pender County Health Department. We had a great response from the community to our annual retinal screening. This was offered by Prevent Blindness of N.C.

Elder abuse event held June 11 Pender Adult Services hosted an elder abuse advocacy event June 11. The purpose of the event was to raise awareness of the issue and teach seniors ways to respond to abuse. Seniors were given examples through skits that would help them identify the abuse and provided detailed information about contacting the proper people to report the abuse.

“On behalf of the seniors of Pender Adult Services, I want to thank the Department of Social Services (DSS), Adult Services Unit, Area Agency on Aging and the Cape Fear Area Elder Abuse Prevention Network team for their efforts in planning and participating in the Elder abuse Advocacy Event at Heritage Place, Burgaw. The event was well attended and well received,” said Jennifer

Mathews, senior center coordinator. Elder abuse is a broad term used to identify mistreatment of elder and disabled adults. Victims often live in silent desperation and are unwilling to seek assistance to protect themselves because they fear the consequences of their actions. Many remain silent to protect abusive caregivers or family members, while others

may be too embarrassed or fear that no one will believe them. Elder abuse can take on many forms – physical abuse, e m o t i o n a l abu s e, s e x u a l abuse, neglect by a caregiver, self-neglect, exploitation, and financial exploitation including frauds and scams To report a case of elder abuse for Pender County please call DSS Adult Services Unit at 259-1240.

Elderly heat stress is a summer concern By Rebecca Boggs, RN Special to Pass It On Elderly people aged 65 years and older are more prone to heat stress than younger people for several reasons. Elderly people do not adjust as well as young people to sudden changes in temperature; They are more likely to have a chronic medical condition that changes normal body responses to heat. They are more likely to take prescription medicines that impair the body’s ability to regulate its temperature or that inhibit perspiration. Heat stroke Heat stroke is the most serious heat-related illness. It occurs when the body becomes unable to control its temperature – the body’s temperature rises rapidly, the body loses its ability to sweat, and it is unable to cool down. Body temperatures rise to 106°F or higher within 10 to 15 minutes. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided. Signs and symptoms of heat stroke Warning signs vary but

may include the following: An extremely high body temperature (above 103°F); red, hot, and dry skin (no sweating); rapid, strong pulse, throbbing headache; dizziness; nausea. Heat exhaustion Heat exhaustion is a milder form of heat-related illness that can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures and inadequate or unbalanced replacement of fluids. Warning signs vary but may include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting, and fainting. The victim’s skin may be cool and moist, pulse rate fast and weak, and breathing: fast and shallow. How to protect yourself Yo u c a n f o l l o w t h e s e prevention tips to protect yourself from heat-related stress: •Drink cool, nonalcoholic beverages. (If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask him how much you should drink when the weather is hot. Also, avoid extremely cold liquids because they can

cause cramps); •Rest; Take a cool shower, bath, or sponge bath; If possible, seek an air-conditioned environment. (If you don’t have air conditioning, consider visiting an air-conditioned shopping mall or public library to cool off.); •Wear lightweight clothing; If possible, remain indoors in the heat of the day; Do not engage in strenuous activities. How to protect elderly relatives and neighbors If you have elderly relatives or neighbors, you can help them protect themselves from heat-related stress. Visit older adults at risk at least twice a day and watch them for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Encourage them to increase their fluid intake by drinking cool, nonalcoholic beverages regardless of their activity level. If their doctor generally limits the amount of fluid they drink or they are on water pills, they will need to ask their doctor how much they should drink while the weather is hot. Take them to air-conditioned locations if they have transportation problems. If you see any signs of se-

111 S. Wright Street, Burgaw, NC 28425 • 910.259.2116

vere heat stress, you may be dealing with a life-threatening emergency. Have someone call for immediate medical assistance while you begin cooling the affected person. Get the person to a shady area. Cool the person rapidly, using whatever methods you can. For example, immerse the person in a tub of cool water; place the person in a cool shower. Spray the person with cool water from a garden hose or sponge the person with cool water. If the humidity is low, wrap the person in a cool, wet sheet and fan him or her vigorously and monitor body temperature and continue cooling efforts until the body The Pender-Topsail temperature drops to 101-102 degrees. If emergency medical personnel are delayed, call the hospital emergency room for further instructions. Do not give the person alcohol to drink and get medical assistance as soon as possible.

Social Wellness Month There are so many different aspects to health. We hear daily about eating right and exercising, but health also involves our social connections and interactions. With more people living alone or separate from extended family and friends, it is critical that we are as diligent about our social well being as we are about our physical well being. July is Social Wellness Month and is a reminder that we need to reach out to others and build stronger social ties with family and friends. Social Wellness encourages development of better communications with others

including the ability to share feelings and needs. It involves respecting yourself and others and developing a solid social support system. Social Wellness takes planning and effort to carve out time for those activities as they may not happen naturally in today’s hectic world. Research shows that socially isolated people are more susceptible to illness and have a death rate two to three times higher than those who are not socially isolated. However people who maintain their social network and support systems do better under stress and are physically and mentally healthier. They
