Notes from the Field Moving Camp Davis to Topsail

Bill Messer I met Mr. Harrell at Topsail Beach’s Missiles & More Museum in front of the extensive Camp Davis display.

It was hoped that the photo exhibit would help him tell the story of his involvement in the closing of the World War II era Army base, and its ultimate fate.

He was there, hauling loads of lumber from the disassembled buildings over to the still desolate island for some kind of ‘hush-hush’ operation going on there. But, that turned out to be only part of his story; it’s how he got there that tells of hard times in the ‘30s.

“Let’s start at the beginning,” I requested.

“OK. I’m A. H. Harrell, Allard Henry Harrell,” he began.

“Any kin to the Harrells in Burgaw?” I asked.

“Might have been, way back. I do know one of my great-great uncles was the Sheriff of Pender County.

“I was born on January 21, 1926. I went to school at Forest Hills, and high school, it was a special unit back in those days, they called it construction. After the fifth grade I went to that school. It was a full twelve year school, but I went through what would have been about the ninth grade. My father had died and I needed to work to help my mother and the children.

“I didn’t have the privilege of going to college, but I emphasized to my children to go and they did and finished and are doing pretty well.”

Because I knew he had worked at Camp Davis, I asked him if he had known Robert Foy, who had told me about his experiences helping build the base in its earliest days of construction.

“Yes, I knew him. We used to rent some land from Robert Foy,” he told me.

I had mentioned Mr. Foy hoping it would be a memory jogger. Mr. Foy’s first job had been directing trucks where to offload building supplies in the muddy newly cleared swampland as they arrived on base, but it turned out Mr. Harrell’s job was hauling away deconstructed barracks lumber as the base was closing.

“When did you start working there?” I asked.

“Well,” he said, and leaned forward, “I’m gonna’ let you help me pinpoint the day. I’ll just tell you what I did. I got out of the service

Mar. 16, 1946, out of the Navy. I was on a rescue boat to pick up the alive and the dead.

“When I got outta’ the service I thought I wanted to go into the trucking business, so me and my brother in law bought a ten-wheeler stake bodied truck. I hauled a few loads to New York, produce, but it didn’t last long because we had the ‘boys on the block’ and other truckers who kinda’ cut us out on that. My brother in law said, “So, you take the truck and see what you can do with it,” so I went down to southwest Georgia to haul hay down to Florida, so when I got down there, Blakely, over near the Alabama line. they weren’t ‘bout to let no North Carolina boys haul hay down there.

“So, I come on back to Wilmington, and somebody said, “They’re tearin’ down Camp Davis,” so I went down there to see if I could get a job with my truck, doin’ something down there. I met a little short fella’ down there, he was the superintendent, I don’t recall what his name was, but he said, “Yeah, I’ll hire you and your truck, but I wantcha’ to do one thing extra for me, I wantcha’ to pick up men along the way and bring ‘em up here to work,” and so I did that.

“And I would haul the lumber. They were tearin’ down Camp Davis, and so he sas’ “I wantcha’ to carry this lumber over to Topsail Island.”

“Well, I didn’t know anything about Topsail Island, I didn’t know it was a secret program, whatever. Didn’t know about it ‘til years after, after I finished.

“The one thing he said was, “Son, they got a bad bridge over there. Also, when you get over there, do not get outta’ the road. You’ll get stuck and nobody ain’t gonna’ help you, nobody over there to help you.” And he kept mentioning that different times when I’d go back.

“They were tearin’ it down and I was haulin’ materials over here. And I got to seein’ other young people comin’ over there, they weren’t workin’ there. I found out they were going to put people in apartments at Camp Davis. I didn’t find out ‘til later they would be workin’ on projects over here.

“I would haul the lumber from over there to different sites over here. It seemed like I was over here sometime in the fall of ‘46. When I’d come across to over here, it seems like there was a different kind of bridge, a barge, a number of ‘em put together. Yeah, a pontoon bridge. It was a scary thing, you’d come down with a load of lumber, I musta’ been 21 or 22 at the time.

“It was a cab-over-engine,

MAs fast as the Army disassembled Camp Davis, A. H. Harrell hauled the lumber over to thesand spit for a supersecret project.

Jefferson Weaver

History buried in the dirt Had things been a little different, you might not be reading these words today, and rather than writing these words, I would have been standing knee-deep in an ancient outhouse somewhere, digging with a garden trowel.

Growing up, my secondbiggest dream was to be an archaeologist; this was decades before Indiana Jones, so those adventures, much as I love’em, had no bearing on my love of all things old and buried. My parents made sure I had a sense of history from the earliest childhood, and it’s never dissipated.

Through the years, I’ve helped on a few archaeological and preservation projects; ever since a drowning rainstorm turned up a silver dollar in the side yard of our home in Dunn, I’ve been obsessed with things buried beneath the surface of the earth.

A buddy of mine helped me learn about doing “findings” on threatened places, thus leading to the things you never see in the movies about dashing archaeologists—things like hanging upside down by one’s knees in a 200-year-old privy. Outhouses became trash bins when they could no longer be used, and every one I’ve ever helped dig into was a treasure trove of the lives of those who were here before.

And no, sewage doesn’t smell after a few decades.

I grew up in a time and a community where a nearby battlefield from the War Between the States hadn’t yet been fully appreciated. C.A. McLamb, one of the men I credit for keeping a lot of us boys out of jail, made me his digger, and many was the Sunday afternoon we

Tom Campbell

Restoring civic pride Jefferson Weaver tracked the trench lines at Averasboro, waiting for the whine of the metal detector to celebrate another find.

A few years later, I got my own Silver King, and made good use of it until girls and other distractions got in the way.

The urge for the old bugged me, though; even today I can hardly resist the chance to wander through an old farm or a forgotten house. I will admit that on more than one occasion, permission to be on the property may have been a bit sketchy at best, but I am never out there to steal or make a dollar off of some magnificent find. I go there to learn, to listen to the stories of those gone before.

C.A. rarely did random metal detecting trips; he taught us to research where we were going, so the ping in the earphones would possibly be an artifact, rather than a broken plowpoint.

I was strange in that even the plowpoint or harness ring was important to me. It was a piece of the past, and had its own story to tell. The battle fought at Averasboro lasted, truth be told, but a few hours. Other skirmish

sites I’ve been to were far shorter, even if their impact on history was far reaching.

But the people who lived there before and after war’s clamor had come and gone were the ones I was always curious about. Sure, I loved finding bullets, belt buckles, coins, pieces of equipment, and the Holy Grail of all metal detecting, buttons, but the folks who loved the land before it was torn apart, and shed their tears and sweat rebuilding it afterward— those were the folks for whom I always felt the most curiosity.

Another historian friend laughingly told someone once that I can smell old rust two feet underground and a half mile away; I sometimes think I can, too.

It’s an aroma I love.

It’s amazing the plunder we leave behind as we wander this life; I might never have known about a particular village if I hadn’t spotted an unusual piece of chain while trapping one day. The chain led to a rockhard piece of lightwood, which itself led to another lightwood post, which in

Health Tips for senior travelers Dear Savvy Senior, My husband and I are recently retired and would like to do some traveling both in the United States and abroad, but worry about health issues, such as insurance, finding a good hospital if we get sick, etc. What tips can you offer health conscious seniors who want to travel?

Older Travelers Dear Travelers, A dream vacation can turn into a real nightmare if you get sick or injured while you’re away and aren’t prepared. Before setting out, here are some simple steps to help ensure a safe and healthy trip. s4ALK TO YOUR DOCTOR If you have a medical condition or health concerns, a good first step is to talk with your doctor now about what precautions you need to take before traveling. You should also have your doctor’s contact information with you when you travel, as well as a list of your medical conditions and the medications you’re taking in case you need emergency medical care while you’re away.

If you’re traveling outside the U.S., you need to find out the health conditions of the country you’re visiting and what, if any, vaccinations and/or preventative medications are recommended.

See CDC.gov/travel or call 800-232-463 to get this information. s#HECK YOUR INSURANCE If you have health insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan through an HMO or PPO that covers in-network doctors only, check your plan to find out what’s covered if

My Spin

you need medical care when traveling outside your geographic area.

Beneficiaries that have original Medicare are covered everywhere in the U.S. But if you’re traveling abroad, you need to know that original Medicare does not cover medical expenses beyond the border except in rare circumstances, although some Medicare Advantage plans and some Medigap supplemental policies do. And, many private health plans don’t pay health care costs outside the U.S. either.

Be sure to check.

If you need coverage when traveling abroad, get a comprehensive travel medical insurance policy that covers medical care, medical evacuation and trip cancellation coverage. See InsureMyTrip. com and SquareMouth.com to shop and compare policies. s,OCATE HEALTH CARE Before your trip, find out what health and urgent care facilities are near the areas you’re visiting. Your hotel can help you with this, or see UrgentCareLocations.com or USHospitalFinder.com for U.S. facilities.

If you’re traveling abroad, the U.S. consulate or embassy in the countries you’re visiting (go to step.state.gov to enroll your trip) is a good place to get a referral. Or join the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers (IAMAT.org), which provides its members access to a worldwide network

of physicians who speak English and have agreed to affordable prearranged fees.

Membership is free. s0ACK YOUR MEDS Make sure you have a sufficient supply of medications to last the entire trip.

If traveling by air, you need to pack your medicine in your carry-on bag, so if your checked luggage gets lost or misdirected you won’t be without. It’s best to keep your medications in their original containers to get through airport security without delays. It’s also a good idea to bring along a note from your doctor that explains why you take these medications, especially if syringes or other medical supplies are involved.

For airport security requirements visit TSA.gov – click on “Disabilities and Medical Conditions.” You can also call TSA Cares at 855-787-2227 prior to traveling with questions about screening policies, procedures and what to expect at the security checkpoint. s3EEK MOBILITY AIDS If mobility is an issue and you’re flying to your destination, call your airline before you leave and ask them to supply you a wheelchair to use while you’re in the airport. And when booking hotel reservations, ask for an accessible room that accommodates wheelchairs and walkers.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.

Even when July 4th falls in the middle of a week you can count on fireworks displays, flags hanging, neighbors gathering for cookouts, watermelons being sliced and just maybe you might find someone cranking homemade ice cream.

Whether it is the Croaker Festival in Oriental, Christmas in July at West Jefferson, the NC 4th of July Festival in Southport or Independence Day at Lake Junaluska, almost every community has a parade, arts and crafts festival, entertainment event or fireworks to observe the holiday. And in most instances there’s a group like a civic club, church or volunteer association providing the leadership and manpower to make it happen. It is a time when folks demonstrate pride in their communities.

As a young man I was asked to chair the Jaycees’ annual citywide “Clean Up, Paint Up, Fix Up Week.”

The local paper printed lists of volunteer opportunities and radio stations promoted which clubs were undertaking certain projects, sometimes even broadcasting on site to showcase an effort.

Everyone joined together to make our community more attractive, but the efforts also helped us feel better about the place where we lived and worked.

Not too many years ago when you approached the outskirts of a town you would see a sign proudly displaying all the symbols of the civic clubs that were active in that community. If you were in business or a profession it was pretty much expected that you would join one of them.

Not only was it the way to form friendships, but at most club meetings there were speakers who talked about issues like education, healthcare, cultural events or projects worth undertaking in town.

Our state has a rich heritage in civic clubs and groups, dating back as far as 1873, when farmers joined together to form the NC Grange. Our state’s first Rotary club was organized in Raleigh in 1914. Kiwanis and Civitan clubs followed around 1919, with the Lions Club coming in 1922, Optimists in Asheville in 1923, Exchange in Wilmington in 1924 and Sertoma in 1925. In 1934 the Pilot Club, a women’s service club, was organized in Winston-Salem. Ruritans followed in ‘35 and there were groups for young people like 4-H and FFA. Many were attracted because they shared the ideals of the group and recognized that collectively they could do more than any one person could do individually. There is little doubt that these local clubs helped make our towns and cities better places to live but, more importantly, they instilled in us a sense of pride in our community.

Many today are lamenting the plight of small towns in our state, wondering what can be done to help resurrect once vibrant communities.

Mountains to Sea Trail now easier to follow through Pender County From Staff Reports Trekking the Mountains to Sea Trail is easier today,

thanks to volunteers from Moores Creek National Battlefield and Friends of the Moun-

tains to Sea Trail.

In spite of high temperatures and humidity, volunteers

blazed the trail and posted new MST directional signs on July 2.

“The Mountains to Sea Trail travels through Moores Creek National Battlefield,” said Ricardo Perez, superintendent of the national park.

“We value this trail and the hikers it attracts to our region.”

The Coastal Crescent of the Mountains to Sea Trail traverses Pender County from the Bladen County line, though Burgaw and the Holly Shelter Game Land, into Surf City and northward along the

beach into Onslow County.

“The MST is more than 1100 miles, connecting North Carolina from Clingman’s Dome to Jockey’s Ridge,” said Tammy Proctor, Pender County tourism director.

“The trail has the potential to make an impact economically,” said Proctor. “Hikers stay at our motels and campgrounds. They eat at our restaurants and they shop for supplies in our stores.”

Burgaw and Surf City are both trail towns along the MST – both offer amenities hikers need. Pender County offers

hikers very diverse scenery – from blueberry fields to battlefields to beachfront.

Surf City and Pender County will host the 2019 and 2010 annual Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail conference.

The conference is expected to attract more than 350 attendees and their families.

For more infor mation about the MST visit www. mst.org. To volunteer along the trail in Pender County as a trail segment leader or a trail angel, contact Pender County Tourism at 910-259-1536.

The best way to help others, find values worth following and restore civic pride is to become part of something bigger than yourself. If enough of us get involved we might be surprised what a difference it makes.

“I never did see a completed thing, just the foundations.”

“How long did you deliver materials?” I asked.

“I don’t remember, it was a right good while. I kept bringin’ the lumber over, and once in a while the supervisor would come over.

He wouldn’t say anything, just sit there. He told me not to get off the road, this path.

He’d say, “I’m comin’ over there with you this morning’” and he wouldn’t talk. I didn’t know it was a secret project. It was the same in WW-II, when I was in rescue.

I didn’t know it was the Devil’s Triangle.”

What Mr. Harrell didn’t know at the time was the foundations were for the ob-

servation towers that dotted the length of the island, the towers that held high-speed cameras and timing equipment used in the Operation Bumblebee Project, the tests that proved the feasibility of the ramjet rocket to power early surface-to-air interceptor missile defense systems that eventually led to the Talos guided missile, like the one on display at the Missiles & More Museum.

The museum itself is in the building called the Assembly Building because the test rockets were put together inside and taken over to the launchpad which is still there, the patio for a beach motel. The launch control tower remains on the corner.

I’ve found a few bits and pieces of odd things there— the ubiquitous pottery, both European and Native American, unidentifiable pieces of rusted iron and steel, blobs of melted soft metal like lead, pewter and copper, things that didn’t do well when a wildfire burned for weeks in 1936, reducing anything that was above ground to a mystery.

Anyone who spends any time in the woods can recount inexplicable trash piles, rusted tin cans and pots, broken Mason jars, and the detritus we leave behind when we leave this world. I have several old axes and tools I’ve picked while plundering the piney woods, as well as a trap or two that somehow, someway, never managed to be tripped in the half-century or so since it was stapled to a tree to catch a wayward coon, and for whatever reason never retrieved.

For me, the biblical reminder that Adam was created from the dust of the Earth was never drilled home in any Sunday school class quite like it was when we carefully excavated the grave of Confederate soldier and placed the remains ever

so gently in a wooden box for re-internment in a safer place. Save for a few buttons, and the rust-colored stripes of the nails used to build his coffin, the only sign that this had been a living, breathing human was a discoloration of the earth. I’ve helped with a few other graves, but those usually entailed some evidence of a person—bones, a fragment or two of fabric, that type of thing.

In this case, there was nothing but a darker spot in the dirt to show where a man had left his family, fought in a war, been wounded, discharged and died of his wounds at home. Even the handmade family quilt, which his daughter used to line his coffin, a family heirloom, was completely gone.

Our stories are told in sometimes-sanitized history books, musty old journals and fading firsthand accounts, of course, but they are also told by what we leave behind. The china doll’s arm I found a while back on a road leading to the Cape Fear, still bearing some of the hand-painted tints that made it more lifelike; was it broken off the doll by accident? Was the doll buried by a mean older brother? Tossed away when a little girl became a young lady? Forgotten and lost as a Hoover cart carried a family away to a new beginning after a devastating flood, a financial catastrophe,

or the Great Depression?

The silver dollar I previously mentioned; that was a heckuva lot of money it the time it was minted. Was it lost by one of the workers who were paid off at the nearby porch every Friday?

Did it fall through a hole worn in a gentleman’s pocket during an afternoon walk?

Was it stolen? Part of a greater horde buried under one of the nearby oaks against a rainy day?

The companion dime I found a while later in the same place gave some credence to the latter theory, but there was never a buccaneer’s booty to be found under the old oak. I dug enough holes there to eliminate that possibility, as well as getting my backside warmed for tearing up the yard. Funny how mommas don’t always appreciate the importance of archaeology, especially when flower beds are involved.

A friend loaned me a metal detector a while back; what with trapping and church and work and horses and weather, I haven’t had much time to use it yet. I have my eye on a few places, though, and when we finally have a pretty afternoon, I fully intend to go out and spend some time carefully walking back and forth, sweeping the ground, listening for the song of another piece of history found buried in the ground.

it was green, and the sides of it was black lookin’.

I had to go all the way down to 3rd Street to pick up the foreman, he was a great big fella, not fat, just big. A rough-talkin’ fella. I’d pick him up, and then I’d start pickin’ people up along the way, and drop ‘em back off on the way back.”

“What did you see once you got on the island?” I asked.

“I didn’t see anything, except maybe one big buildin’.

You couldn’t hardly see over the sand dunes. I saw ‘em diggin’ down there, makin’ a foundation. Each place I dropped off a load of lumber over there, that’s what they

Sea Turtle Hospital News

Simmons resigns as Topsail High principal

By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Staff Writer

By Karen Sota Special to the Post & Voice Hard to believe we’re into July already. In just a few more weeks our senior interns will be packing up and heading back to their other lives so without further ado….

Meet Mandi Anderson, a fifth-year senior graduating from Virginia Tech in December with a degree in Wildlife Conservation and Forestry.

Mandi visited us at our old hospital years ago and vividly remembers waiting in the long lines and oppressive heat.

Even then she was impressed with the miracles we were able to work and felt that the work we were doing was “so worthwhile.” This was her second time applying for our internship position, which just proves that persistence pays off.

Turtle rehab is both science and art, and being thrust into the middle of caring for more than 60 turtles can be a chjallenge.

“It’s kind of overwhelming.

There’s an overload of information but I just stay focused on whatever I’m doing at the moment, no matter what, and I always feel proud of what I accomplish,” Mandi said.

Although she likes all the turtles she feels most connected to the larger ones where she gets to spend “alone time” with them.

“It’s just me and the turtle and I can do whatever it takes to make them feel safe, even if it means singing to them. They don’t judge me!”

A few weeks ago she released little Kemp’s Squid Boy who got his name because nothing except squid heads were acceptable to his discriminating palate. Mandi says she was “anxious but excited. I was happy he got his second chance but I really want him to do well out there.”

We’re open for tours five days a week and Mandi vividly remembers the day one gentleman in particular changed her approach to presenting basically the same facts to almost one-thousand people a day.

“This guy was literally like Santa Clause. He was so jolly and excited that I was totally re-energized. I realized that the more energy I put into my talk the more it made everybody care about our turtles.

The whole thing became a lot more fun. It was really a turning point for me to see how excited everybody was.”

She says that anyone lucky enough to be accepted into our internship program should “prepare for a lot of hard but rewarding work. This is a highly desirable program and you get out of it what you put into it.”

After graduation she’ll be looking for more internships focusing on wildlife research.

“I’m at heart a herpetologist and the Appalachians are a hot spot for my particular interest – salamanders.”

The fallout from the use of an ineligible player by the baseball team at Topsail High School continued a week ago Monday when Berry Simmons submitted his resignation as principal at the Hampstead school.

Several days before that resignation, Simmons indicated his contract had been renewed, but trip to his home state Georgia over that weekend – combined with discussions of the future with his wife and children – altered his plans to stay on as the head man at Topsail.

“I felt it was the right thing to do, and it was totally my choice,” Simmons said. “I was renewed and could have stayed

there if I wanted to stay. But, hopefully, if people want to say I am the reason for any of this stuff, they won’t have to worry about me anymore.

“I think I did my job the right way. We made a mistake, I don’t know how, but we made a mistake and I couldn’t rectify it, and that’s all I’ll say. I talked to my wife and we’ve bene tossing around a lot of things.

I went down to Georgia this past weekend and we talked a lot. It takes a lot of hours to run a school like Topsail, and I know I am doing the right thing, and I am doing this on my own terms.

“I have had a long career (in education) and I am a happy man, and I want to stay happy.

I hope I have been professional through all of this.”

Simmons indicated he

would head back to the Savannah area and see what happens next.

“We have a home in the Atlanta, and the reason I mentioned Savannah is it’s where Rachel and I met, where I started my teaching career, we were married in Savannah, our first child was born in Savannah, so it has a lot of memories for us.”

“I am not happy we had an ineligible player but by reporting him we did the ethical thing, and it’s unfortunate it all happened. But it was a family decision and I am comfortable with it. It felt right and I am happy with it.”

Simmons indicated he will back in the area for a time to help with the transition to a

Dr. Chris’ Summer Series

Mornings with Steve Intern Kristina (above) at our cold stunning education station. Intern Mandi (below) with loggerhead Dutchman.

Kristina Edmiston from Mechanicsburg, Penn., has been coming to North Topsail where her family owns a home “since I was a baby.” A while ago she spent time in the Galapagos Islands working alongside one of our other turtle vets, Dr. Greg Lewbart.

Kristina’s dad is a DVM who just happened to be a student of Dr. Lewbart’s at N.C. State.

After hearing Dr. Lewbart talk about our internship she felt that it might be a good fit with her studies in Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences at Penn State.

Once a month or so I get to talk to Steve, when I run into him at the YMCA locker room.

The conversation goes until I finish getting ready for work – or, until he makes one final point. The talks always center around either golf, or baseball, specifically why Roberto Clemente was, in his eyes (and many others) the greatest baseball player of all time.

April 4, two days before the Master’s tournament, I asked him who was going to win.

The guy is like a golf encyclopedia. ”McIllroy looks good, this could be the year he makes up for his gaffe from four or five years ago.” (McIllroy was leading going into the final round, then hit a ball into someone’s yard, and ended up imploding for a final round of 80). “Tiger is not ready yet, Phil is past his prime, and don’t count out any of the young guys, Spieth, Rahm, Jason Daym” It is going to be interesting to see just who wins. Whatever the outcome, I have never seen someone so knowledgeable about a subject at the drop of a dime. He expounds, expounds, and turn the daily hospital expounds. operation over to them for a few months – after they suc- turtle she ever picked up and cessfully complete boot camp said when he began eating of course! she was “so happy I cried.”

So, of course the talk switches to baseball, as baseball season has once again started, all teams starting off the season with grand visions of holding the World Series trophy aloft at the end of the season. And, any time we talk baseball, right away he is talking about Roberto Clemente, the great Puerto Rican baseball player who played for the Pirates in the late fifties, sixties, and into the seventies, when his life was tragically cut short as his plane crashed on New Year’s Eve, 1972, as he was trying to deliver humanitarian aid to his home country.

Steve was happy that ESPN was finally going to be doing a “Thirty on Thirty” segment on Clemente.

“The greatest player of all time”, and that was coming from Willie Mays, who many others consider the greatest player of all time. Steve said, “No disrespect to Babe Ruth, or any of those guys, but Clemente had all the tools, even Bob Gibson said he was the best player he ever faced, and Willie Stargell consistently agreed.”

But, the talk about Babe Ruth stoked the fires for a whole new conversation as I was trying to get out the door.

Babe Ruth was the great-

est home run hitter of many a generation. Before he came along, there was only one person who hit more than 25 home runs (27) and only a handful of people who hit at least 20.We began discussing why this was so. What was it about Babe Ruth that saw him hit so many more than others? We theorized that baseball needed a star, and he fit the bill for the “Roaring 20’s.”

Steve also said that, before the big parks were built, before the turn of the century, many parks didn’t have a fence, so a home run was really a home run! For this reason, the best fielders were actually the outfielders, and they had the best arms.

Once the fences were built, all you had to do was hit it over to get a home run. Not a home “trot” as Steve suggests it be called, but a home run.

By the time you read this, the Master’s will be long over.

Do you know who won? Was Steve correct? And baseball season will be chugging along merrily, on the way to yet another 162 game season.

Where is your favorite team right now? Do they have a chance? And finally, do you even give a rip?

and get really excited to see them up close. Their first reactions are the best and it’s important that they leave with a positive impression.”

She also says that, surprisingly, our visitors often have as many questions about her as they do our patients.

Kristina strongly advises that if sea turtles are your interest you apply for the internship no matter how apprehensive you might feel.

“Always say yes, no matter how afraid you might be.

Everyone and everything here makes you a better person, and you might just change the path you thought you were

on. I only wanted to work with small animals, not anymore.”

We’ll be on our summer tour schedule for the next few months. We are open daily (except Wednesdays and Sundays) from noon until 4 p.m..

Lines can be long so bring umbrellas for shade and lots of water to stay hydrated. And please continue to report any sea turtle activity (nestings, strandings, injuries) to Terry Meyer at 910-470-2880, Jean Beasley at 910-470-2800 or the NC Stranding Hotline at 252241-7367. We will also pick up on our hospital line (910-3290222) during regular hours.

Top sports stories of the 2017-18 school year number four

Trask boys basketball rolls through conference

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The Heide Trask Titan men’s basketball team went into the 2017-18 high school season with some question marks. The talent was there and the coaching staff under head coach Rodney Orr remained in place.

However, the Titans were in the newly formed Coastal 8 Conference. To add uncertainty to the mix was the fact that the school was now playing under the 2A moniker for the first time since its inception.

With teams like east Carteret and Southwest Onslow in the conference, the Titans were not expected to be among the top two teams in the final standings. Not so fast.

Coach Orr’s team worked hard over the summer months to build chemistry and endurance. When the season started it was evident that this was a Titan team on

a mission.

The team opened the season on November 21. By the time December 5th rolled around the team was 5-0 with wins over 4A Ashley and Hoggard along with the annihilation of cross county rival Topsail. The team was averaging over 73 points a game.

What was even more impressive was the defensive presence that the team had.

Coach Orr’s charge averaged 14.3 steals a game though the first five games of the year with a season high 18 steals against Union. The team had more steals than all five of their opponents.

Trask took their first loss of the year at a holiday

tournament at Laney. They fell to South Brunswick on a night where nothing fell. The Titans were now 8-1 and everybody thought this would be the moment that the team began to regress.

The team reeled off six more wins to silence any doubters and went into the first matchup against their biggest rival Pender with a 14-1 record.

This was one of the best basketball games of the year. Pender’s talented freshman Kahlil Marshall lit the basket up to the tune of 40 points. The Pats took a 74-73 win and again the Titan naysayers thought the team was doomed.

Trask won seven in a row and took the inaugural Coastal 8 regular season crown. They then won the season ending conference tournament and headed into the playoffs with a lofty state ranking.

The Titans drew conference mat Southwest Onslow

in the first round of the playoffs. This contest was at home and proved to be a tall order. The Titans had beaten the very athletic Stallions three times during the regular season and conference tournament including an 8455 thrashing, six days prior to the first-round contest.

The fourth time proved the be too much for the Titans.

The Stallions did their homework. The game was one for the ages with the Stallions winning the threeovertime affair 95-91.

The Titans finished the year with a 25-3 record including a 13-1 conference mark. They averaged 13.7 assists per game and 13.5 steals per game. Coach Orr was named the conference coach of the year as well as the Post & Voice Coach of the year.

Super sophomore Jujuan Carr was named the Post & Voice player of the year as well as the Coastal 8 conference player of the year.

High school to college; a challenging transition "Y ,EE 7AGNER Post & Voice Sports Writer Every year thousands of graduates make the transition from the relative comforts of high-school to the next phase of their lives – whether it be college, the military, or the work force.

That next step has many facets, some easy and some not-so-easy, but for most it is a move away from the family life they have grown accustomed, as well as the nurturing by teachers, coaches, and administrators at the highschool level.

A move from that level to college can be especially challenging for the student/athlete as they find the athletic competition to be greater, the academic challenges to be significantly tougher, and the test of living on their own all rolled into one.

Hunter Bizzell a star on the softball diamond for the Lady Pirates. Bizzell capped of her Topsail career with a .507 batting average with 51 stolen bases, and a .924 fielding percentage with seven errors in 92 chances at shortstop.

Hunter’s first year at UNCWilmington presented a whole new set of challenges.

She hit .206 with three RBIs, and four stolen bases in 10 attempts. “Honestly, I don’t know how you can prepare for the change,� said. “You can preach to someone about all the running, the weightlifting, the need to work harder

than you ever have before, and the need for better time management but, until you experience it, you’re not going to understand what comes from transitioning from highschool athletics to college. “Also, in high school a team has one or two or three good players but in college everybody is good, everybody was recruited. The players are better and faster so it is big adjustment. What I need to do, first-and-foremost, to get ready for next year is to get out of my head. “For the first couple of months in the spring I struggled to do that, but once I stopped thinking about what I needed to do and started doing what made me successful in high school, I did a lot better.�

Bizzell said changing positions may have been a factor. “I definitely think it played a factor because there was a lot to learn about playing in the outfield,� Hunter said. “Eventually I made a pretty good adjustment.�

Bizzell said academics is so much different, and that had an effect. “For me, the fall was so much harder than the spring,� said Hunter, who is majoring in Biology as a path to becoming a Physician’s Assistant. “In college you are so much more on your own so the learning experience touches your life in so many ways. But I know I am much more comfortable now, and ready to move forward both

as an athlete and a student.�

Josh Madole was an excellent hitter at Topsail, finishing his career with a .438 BA with 20 RBIs, nine doubles, and two home runs. At UNCGreensboro Madole hit .262 with 10 doubles, and triple to go along with 21 RBIs. “It was definitely more challenging in all aspects of it,� Madole said. “Obviously baseball is a demanding sport. In college there is more to do, more to learn, and it is more taxing on the body, and school is a lot harder, it’s more do it yourself and if you figure it out, you figure it out kind of thing. “I wouldn’t say, for me, it was a difficult transition because my parents have always held me to a high standard and pushed me, both academically and athletically.�

One thing Josh said helped in the transition was having an older brother (Jake who is a rising senior at UNCAsheville) that went through the same process, on and off the baseball diamond. “We talk every day, sometimes twice a day,� Josh said. “He’s my best friend and my brother so he definitely helped by giving me advice, telling me things that worked for him that might work for me, just that kind of stuff, that would help me get through, and it paid off in the end.�

Madole is majoring in Kinesiology, so the academic end is no walk in the park. He cited the help he has gotten

from his academic advisor as a key to a smooth classroom transition. “In high school teachers are readily available almost all the time, and you are kind of natured more in the classroom,� Josh said. “Luckily, we have a coach here who stays in tune with what’s happening with his players, which is one of the great things about him. But we also have made available to us tutors, and our athletic advisors are really great. “They are always helping us, and if I have a problem or question I can go to my advisor and they will set me up with a tutor. One thing she does is helps me with my schedule. It was more difficult for me in the fall because I had harder classes that took more time, and in the spring, I don’t want to say easier because they weren’t easy classes, but they were less taxing from a time standpoint.�

Josh said when he learned in year one will only serve to make him a better student and ballplayer in year two. “One thing I’ve learned is there is always someone working harder,� Madole said. “And I have learned to have a much better mental approach to the game, and at the plate. I go up there and I have a plan of attack in what I am looking for, what I should be looking for, and what I want to drive. In almost all aspects I have grown a lot, but mostly in the mental part of the game.�

Several Topsail softball standouts spend summer on the road "Y ,EE 7AGNER Post & Voice Sports Writer The seemingly never-ending pursuit of excellence for today’s high school athlete is never more evident that when it comes to several players in the Topsail High School softball program.

Sydney Hartgrove, Darbie Lisk, Anna Lee Hart, Lauren Strnad, and Tyesha Williams spent the weekend before last in Colorado at a major Triple Crown Sports’ Fastpitch tournament, and they are all headed to California later this month for the Premier Girls’ Fastball Tournament in Huntingdon Beach, Calif.

Hartgrove played for the 14-and-under Lady Lightning Gold Future team in Colorado. The squad went 11-3 overall but had to five games on Saturday to qualify for the

championship round. Hartgrove, who played shortstop as a freshman for Topsail, went back to her natural position and caught every game in the tournament. “It was an amazing experience on Saturday in winning five straight games back-toback but it was tiring but it was a lot of fun, too,� Hartgrove said. “I played shortstop at Topsail because that’s where Coach Eric (Philips) needed me to help the team, but catching is probably my best position, the one I think will get me to where I want to go. “It can get a bit tiring because when you are no playing you are practicing but summer is different because I can do what I want to do during the week. I am missing the opportunity to play basketball but softball is most definitely

my most likely path to college so, hopefully, in the long run it will all be worth it.�

Hart played with Lisk, Strnad, and Hart on the 16and-under N.C Challengers Elite team that finished with a 3-5 record wins over LaBlazers Elite Gold (3-1), AZ Hotshots (9-2), and Firecrackers AL (9-1). Lisk, a veteran of summer ball, and her teammates will also be going to California In a couple of weeks. “I think it’s an opportunity to see better competition especially pitchers and defenses,� Lisk said. “I miss playing volleyball but I am going to try out in the fall, but I feel softball is more than likely my ticket to play sports in college.�

For Hart, it is her first year of playing travel ball, and the rising junior said it is both

exciting, challenging, and a bit scary. “It is my first time playing at this level and traveling,�

Hart said. “The last couple of summers I played for a local team, but I felt playing at this level would make the opportunity to play college ball a little more realistic. “I didn’t know what to expect but traveling to places like Colorado and New Jersey has been a lot of fun.

It’s a lot better than going to Clayton and places like that.

I definitely think it is helping me become a better softball player, playing against better competition every day.�

Hart said it was a little intimidating playing in front of so many college coaches. “Definitely when it started I was terrified to have that

In My Opinion I wrote this column last year. With what has happened at Topsail High School I believe it bears repeating. For those that think I am anti-Topsail High, that is the farthest thing from the truth. I do believe that the politics at Topsail needs to come to a halt. The principal is now gone. Again, I think this needs to be repeated.

As a high school coach, you are judged for your wins and losses. Let me make that clear. If you are a great guy with the best of intentions and you go 0-12 for a couple of years the chances are real good that you will be relieved of your coaching job.

Many athletic directors and principals talk a good game. They will tell you that as long as the coach does things the right way and the kids keep their grades up then things will be good. I beg to differ.

I have known some very good coaches with the morals of a rattlesnake that have kept their jobs despite kids not doing the work in the classroom. Often times these coaches put forth more effort to hide the shortcomings in the classroom of their athletes than it would take to set the student-athletes up in tutoring.

One of my favorite football coaches of all time is former Trask and Pender coach Glenn Sellers. Glenn is a devout Christian who does things right. He has had some great years as a coach and some that are not so great. However, he never to my knowledge took any shortcuts. He made sure his guys did the work in the classroom as well as on the field. He also had a zero tolerance for a lack of morals.

By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer

I once watched as he made a young man take his jersey and shoulder pads off and board the bus because of a cheap shot. I will never forget that. It made me realize that he was there for the right reasons.

Former Trask basketball coach Scott Slocum caught a lot of flack because of an incident that eventually cost him his job. However, what many people did not know was that he was the same man that would get up out of his bed and go and get a young man who was in a bad domestic situation.

He was always there for his young men. Sometimes there is a lot more to a situation then one sees.

With the new school year rapidly approaching we will sit in the bleachers and second-guess our coaches.

Heck, I do it all the time.

However, remember one thing. If you have a Glenn Sellers or a Doug Rabalais on your sidelines be sure and count your blessings.

A win is a win and I understand this.

However, five and ten years down the road they won’t mean squat. A bunch of successful young people will always remember how their coach treated them and what they taught them about the game of life.

Faulcon gave all for Lady Titan softball "Y "OBBY .ORRIS Post & Voice Sports Writer When the Heide Trask Titan softball team began the 2018 season there was no false hopes nor empty promises made. The team knew they were in for a long season. As a team, they played hard and gave 100 percent each and every time they took he field.

One player in particular gave it her all.

Recent Heide Trask graduate Savannah Faulcon was one of those players that worked diligently at her craft. She improved each and every time she took the field or stepped into the batter’s box.

Miss Faulcon loved softball, yet she was more than just an athlete. The beautiful young lady was a very good student as well.

Savannah will look back on her time on the softball field fondly. As she navigates her way to the next step in her life there will be no doubt that she was no one trick pony at Trask.

Marshall leads Lady Patriots by example "Y "OBBY .ORRIS Post & Voice Sports Writer When a high school student-athlete begins playing their respective sport as a freshman, they hope to become a playmaker for the team. They hope that by the time that they reach their junior and senior years that they have become one of the best players on the team.

Some players even go beyond that. Some young student-athletes hope to become a leader.

Recent Pender High school graduate Taylor Marshall is one of those young ladies.

Taylor began her career on the varsity at a young age.

She improved each and every year and by the time she was a senior she wore that coveted C on her jersey that indicated she was a captain on the squad.

Marshall ended her career on the hardwood a success and then ended her high school career as a winner on the track. Taylor Marshall led the Lady Patriots by example.

In the world of sports, it takes some athletes longer to learn their craft than others. In the game of softball, it may take a young player two or even three years to become proficient at the game that they have chosen.

In the case of recent Topsail High School graduate Christine McLsean her senior season on the diamond was where she finally put it all together.

As a junior Miss McLean struggled. With limited playing time she never found her rhythm. She received more playing time as a senior and made the most of it. She batted .339 with three triples on the year. She also played well in the field, finishing the year without an error.

Christine McLean can look back at her time at Topsail with fondness. She made the most of her time as a senior and finished her career in style.

The flounder fishing has taken center stage as of late in the backwaters. The area anglers are hooking the fish around the inlets and marshes. A structure such as docks seems to be producing some flatfish as well. Live baits and Gulps fished on the bottom will work here.

The red drum fishing in the inland waters is decent right now. The locals say that they are hitting a multitude of baits including topwater lures along with soft plastic worms and cut baits.

There have been a few sheepshead caught around structures such as piers and docks. A sand flea will work here. Remember to be patient with these fish as they don’t strike hard.

The pier anglers are catching a mixed bag with late nights and early mornings the time to wet a line.

A few blues and Spanish have been hooked with clark spoons and plugs as well.

The fresh water fishing is in the usual July summer mode. There have been some bream and crappy caught on red worms. Remember early

or late is the best time.

4HIS WEEKS lSHING TIP Catching a sheepshead is a tricky deal. They like to nibble and if you aren’t careful you will pull the bait right out of their mouth. If you are pier fishing or fishing by a dock, drop your line straight down until it hits the bottom. Bounce it off of the bottom about a foot or so. Remember a sheepshead is a wary fish. They will be spooked quickly.

Some anglers use a jighead in addition to a sand fiddler. Remember, it is all about the presentation with these fish.

My sheepshead experience is minimal. However, the biggest fish I ever caught in the surf was a convict fish. I was around eight years old and was fishing at Long Beach. I thought I had hooked some seaweed and called for my dad. He told me to put the rod on my shoulder and walk inland.

I landed what at the time seemed like a 50 pound fish.

It was probably three plus pounds.

The memories will last forever. go out there and perform at a higher level. “I didn’t do too well in the New Jersey tournament but I hit, I thinks, around .625 in Colorado and I am hoping to carry that over to California.

Holy Trinity Church showers Roots of Recovery From Staff Reports On Sunday, June 24, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Hampstead gathered for a brunch shower for Roots of Recovery following the Sunday service June 24. The shower was sponsored by the church’s Outreach Ministry.

Lovely tables were arranged and buffet-style egg casseroles, fruit and coffee cake were served.

At the brunch, an overflowing table of household items generously donated by church members was presented to Catherine McDowell, founder of Roots of Recovery.

This non-profit has 20 acres of land in the HampsteadHolly Ridge area with plans to develop a 200-bed residential, long-ter m community for women addressing substance use disorder. Residency in the first phase of development will

be open to pregnant women and women with children who demonstrate a commitment to obtaining sustainable sobriety.

The goal of the project is to provide live-in support for women and their children.

Catherine and Joy (a board member) were visibly overwhelmed with the items collected to support their clients in their new community. After her introduction, Catherine used the opportunity to an-

nounce that enough funds had been collected from a recent fundraising event to begin a road and sewer hookup into the campus of the new cottage community.

“We are committed to empowering women who are suffering from alcohol and opioid addiction through a strengthbased recovery program, education, life skills, and career planning in a natural, peaceful setting,” explained Catherine.

Holy Trinity has sponsored two community awareness events in the past few months, in the hope of educating area persons about opioid addiction and awareness of treatment options in the area. Holy Trinity is located at 107 Deerfield Rd. in Hampstead, behind the Port City Java.

The shower for the women of Roots of Recovery was sponsored by the Outreach Ministry of Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Hampstead. Shown are (from left) Bobbi Crawford, Christie Hawkins, Carolyn Beddow, Joy Ball, and Janice Fox.

Library

Continued from page 2A other E-products. The success of Library Bridge in Pender County and similar programs across the state has garnered the attention of Steve Potash, the founder and CEO of OverDrive. During Mr. Potash’s recent presentation at the Stronger Together: Building Literacy Rich Communities conference in Omaha, he

spoke of the success public libraries in North Carolina have achieved in sharing ebooks with public schools.

“Library Bridge is a great example of how different branches of government services can work together to maximize benefits for students, staff and families,” said Mike Taylor, Director of Pender County Public Library.

“This is also about making the most of the tax dollars invested in our public libraries and schools. What is exciting

to me is that despite our statewide ranking of number two behind Mecklenburg County for the last six months, I believe the schools and public library will identify ways we can improve Library Bridge performance even more next academic year.”

Pender County Schools and the Pender County Public Library are looking forward to continued success of the Library Bridge partnership and supporting its continued growth.

This Week’s CROSSWORD

July 5th, Crossword Solution:

Bill Howard Outdoors

By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist A man came out of the foothills of California Aug. 29, 1911. Starving and without any family, he was seeking help from people he had never met and spent his lifetime away from. An Indian from the Yahi tribe, he immediately gained national attention as the last Stone Age human.

In his tribal tradition, he could not speak his name, so he was given the name ‘Ishi’, meaning man in his native tongue.

Ishi was brought to the University of Califor nia Berkeley where anthropologists studied him. They could not communicate at first, bringing in tribesmen from several known Indian tribes.

Finally, a student of dead languages was able to speak a word for pine when pointing at a pine table, and Ishi lit up with excitement.

Dr. Saxton Pope befriended Ishi and learned much of the Indian ways. One thing that gathered Pope’s attention was Ishi’s use of obsidian and Juniper wood to make bows and arrows. Archery was considered a European field sport and was not thought of as a hunting technique.

Pope was amazed with Ishi’s accuracy as well as his Stone Age type production of the hunting implements.

Chief Compton grew up with Indians in the Midwest and moved to Califor nia in 1900. He was a polished bowhunter before Ishi came out or the woods. Compton soon joined Pope and Ishi, furthering his knowledge on bowhunting. Compton later introduced a well-known rifleman named Art Young to Pope, Ishi, and the bow.

Art Young soon became close to Ishi as well. Together they would hunt small animals as well as deer in California. Ishi taught his friends how to use scent control, wind direction, and natural cover to close the distance on animals in order to take them with the bow. Young, along with Pope and Compton made it a mission to prove archery was a viable form of hunting.

After each big game animal taken with a bow, there would be challenges of the

next animal that could never be taken. Art Young became the front man to prove them wrong. Young made many trips to places such as Alaska, the Arctic, and Africa, taking game ranging from Kodiak and polar bears to lions.

At a seminar where Young was showing a film called ‘Alaskan Adventures’ featuring Young on spot and stalk hunting, a young man from Michigan watched in awe. Six years after meeting Young, Fred Bear took his first deer with a bow. Later Bear would go on to create one of the largest and most influential archery business producing mass production longbows, recurves, and eventually compound bows.

The second weekend of September brings the archery phase of deer season in North Carolina. A sport and hunting technique that was thought of as not being able to take a big game animal, was responsible for more than 20,000 deer in North Carolina during the last two hunting seasons.

It all started with an Indian thought to be savage at first, yet was humble and wise. An Indian who no one ever knew his name, though he created sincere and deep friendships with those he met. An Indian who created a long legacy of followers in his teachings. An Indian who exited the woods in California 100 years ago come August 29, 2011.

Lookin’ for Love...

Hi! My name is Cheddar.

I am just 9 weeks old. My siblings and I were taken out of Animal Control when we were only 3 weeks old.

Our foster mom bottle fed us until we were big enough to eat on our own. They say I am just a lover boy, because I love to cuddle with you. We are now at the shelter just waiting for a family of our own. I have had my shots and will be neutered when I‛m a little bigger. But if you want to be my family you could take me home until my big day arrives! Please come take me home.

I really would like a family of my own.

Pender-Topsail Post & Voice, Thursday, July 12, 2018, Page 2B

By Rev. Ken Smith Atkinson Baptist Church Contributing Writer

Peter came to Jesus with a counting question on forgiveness.

When you study the life of Peter you probably come to the conclusion that someone had done something wrong towards Peter six times and he was ready to pay that individual back for their offense.

Remember, this is the same apostle that impulsively tried to kill the servant of the high priest (John 18:10).

The traits of love and forgiveness would not have come naturally for someone like Simon Peter. Firstcentury Jews thought it was generous to forgive someone three times; Peter upped the ante and suggested seven times. Jesus famously replied, “Multiply that number times seventy.� The point is to avoid keeping score.

Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God calls us to develop an unlimited capacity to forgive.

The apostle Paul wrote in

Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?� Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.

Matthew 18:21-22 Count von Count first appeared on Sesame Street in the Season 4 premiere in 1972 counting blocks in a sketch with Bert and Ernie. The Count has a compulsive love of counting anything and everything, regardless of size, amount or how much annoyance he causes others around him. When Count von Count appeared on the screen you knew there was an arithmetic lesson coming.

Have you ever considered that one of Jesus’ disciples modeled the traits of this famous Muppet? The apostle

Count von Count Ephesians 4:32, “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.� Paul also wrote in Colossians 3:13, “Bearing with one another, and if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.� When we are willing to forgive someone it not only releases them from the chains of guilt, but it releases the chains that imprison us.

We can count our many blessings that have been poured out by God into our lives.

counting how many times someone has wronged us, we fail to live in the triumphant grace of God. Our attention is given more to someone we have grief with, rather than the Lord who can take away the pain caused to us. Jesus is the only one that can give us a heart that is willing to forgive. Once we focus on how we have been forgiven

by Jesus, it should drive us to want to forgive those that have offended us.
