Memorial Day weekend busy at the beaches
Remembering fallen heros
Tropical storm threat could have kept some people away, official says By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Memorial Day weekend proved to be busy at Pender County beaches, despite the threat of bad weather from Tropical Storm Bonnie. Heavy national media coverage of the early season tropical system may have kept some vacationers away from the beach. But Bonnie proved to be a bust as a weather system locally. “We feel that some people who live a distance away may
have not come to the beach because of the threat of the storm,” said Surf City Mayor Zander Guy. “But we had a lot of people here over the weekend. I think a lot were daytrippers from close by.” Guy said some of the beach businesses were likely affected on the traditional opening of the summer season by fewer customers due to the storm threat. “I think all in all we had a lot of people here and a good weekend,” Guy said.

State finishing up office, restrooms
Holly Shelter shooting range nearing completion By Andy Pettigrew Post & Voice Publisher Shooters waiting for completion of the new range facility in the Holly Shelter Gamelands won’t have to wait much longer, according to Pender County Planning Director Kyle Breuer. Breuer says the range could open in July. Breuer says the state is working to complete the project by finishing the range attendant’s office and public restrooms. The shooting stalls and shelters are finished. “Wildlife officials met with the Health Department last week and identified a location for the septic system, so the office and the restrooms will be
at the front of the range at the welcome center,” Breuer said. “You will be required to stop at the office and register when you arrive, sign a waiver, and watch an instructional video. Once we get the welcome center finished and have a place for the attendant to work, we will be up and running.” The shooting range, which will be accessed off Shaw Highway near the N.C. Wildlife Depot facility, will feature an archery range with multiple stations, as well as firearms ranges for 50 and 100-yard distances. Breuer says other counties in the state have partnered

Old turtle hospital building becomes Lewis Seafood Scam By Barbara Hazle Post & Voice Staff Writer The Turtle Hospital in Topsail Beach has become the place to get fresh fish in season in Topsail Beach. The property at 822 Carolina Boulevard was sold by the town via advertised bid in late 2015 to Mark and Debbie Lewis of Lewis Road in Hampstead. “I wanted to open a fish market,” said Lewis. “The intention was to offer fresh catches in the southern Topsail Island community. We lease out a market at the public boat ramp at 613 Lewis Rd in Hampstead but this goes to my roots.” Once Lewis was awarded the building he spent many months cleaning it up and assessing the docks. Today it is a clean newly renovated building where in between sales Lewis can enjoy the view and rock in his chair comfortably. “This is the third day we have been open,” Lewis said. “And it has been steady all three days. You don’t have to
go off the island or much past the town center. This is what me and my family do and the only people working here are family.” said Lewis. “I grew up shrimping. My Dad and my uncles, my brothers have always been in this industry. I just wanted to get back in it. We run all our own boats, and whatever we come up with, we will sell as we find it. We will sell you the freshest just off the boat catch for your dinner.” So far they have had many varieties of seafood available including whiting, flounder, shrimp and wild caught clams. The new fish and shrimp market has been open since May 21 and has been refurbished as a one stop seafood market. They are open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. “We cleaned the place up but really we are fishing and selling. It really cannot get Staff photo by Barbara Hazle any fresher then what we are Mark Lewis turned the old turtle hospital building in Topdoing,” Lewis said.

Rocky Point preschool provides unique experiences for children By Lori Kirkpatrick Post & Voice Staff Writer Puddle Jumpers Nature Preschool, located in Rocky Point, works to create authentic nature-based learning experiences for children. Owner Misty Fisher believes in fresh air, sunshine and the freedom to explore nature. Children who attend spend about 90 percent of their time enjoying the outdoors, with naptime typically being their only indoor time. Activities include making mud pies, building forts in the woods and climbing trees. The children collect interesting sticks, rocks and pinecones; find birds’ nests and just run wild and free. The preschool program currently serves children ages 2 ½ to six. “As adults, no one actually remembers the toys they had as a kid,” began Fisher. “It’s the authentic childhood experiences that linger and fill your memories with nostalgia. None of these experiences came from things that could be bought. Those memories endure simply because we were the masters of our own universe. We love being teachers here and we are incredibly grateful to spend our days outdoors exploring with our little wildlings. Sometimes a second childhood is almost as good as the first.” Fisher first became a “wild” teacher with her “wildlings” almost 30 years ago. When she acquired the 15 acres of property in Rocky Point two years ago, she knew it would be a nature preschool. It was a place where she could take the kids out in the woods and let them have experiences like she had growing up, playing in the woods and just being kids. Puddle Jumpers is currently licensed for eight children, but Fisher is working on increasing the school’s capacity. “We try to incorporate nature in everything we do. On
the days when we’re stuck inside, we are still very handson. We have a nature table, and the children add things to it from outside. We also have lots of Montessori equipment. The children usually come in crocs or sandals, but when we take our daily hike out to base camp, everybody wears mud boots. Our playground has a lot of nature objects, with natural blocks and another nature table. We eat outside as much as possible. We have an outdoor sink for hand-washing and an outdoor toilet as well, for when they’re muddy and sandy. We are definitely an outdoor-based program,” said Fisher. Mr. Marbles and Fluffinutter, two bunnies, stay in a pen outside. There is an outdoor art center, and on some days, the children carry the paint out to the woods to paint on trees or whatever they find. Fisher believes in a “yes” environment whenever possible. Instead of hearing “no” they are asked to walk away. The teachers use the Growing Up Wild curriculum, in which colors, shapes and everything studied is learned in the context of the natural world. Children carry small baskets into the woods to collect whatever they find. “We’re a certified National
Wildlife Federation Habitat. That means that we provide an environment that’s safe for animals, we provide shelter, places for them to live and we feed them. We have birdhouses and bat houses. We have our bird feeders, and the kids come out and fill them up. It helps them have some stewardship to take care of the birds out here. A great thing about nature is that all the seasons give us so much to learn. We’ll be offering a summer camp this summer, and then next year we’ll be focusing on our half-day preschool from 9-12. We’ll also be doing parent-child nature classes,” said Fisher. The teachers take the children on daily hikes to their base camp, where there is a gathering circle for story time. A pendulum log hangs from a tree for the kids to swing and play on, as well as a boat with bamboo fishing rods made with the help of the teachers. The most important thing at the base camp is the mud kitchen, with plenty of mud and donated mud kitchen pots, pans and dishes to go around. The base camp offers plenty of space for the children to run wild and explore nature. “I think there are so many opportunities to learn in nature that children don’t get
Women’s Foresty Workshop June 7 By Jefferson Weaver Contributing Writer All too often, timber farmers die without teaching their families about management, sales and the myriad of other details that go into timber production. Service Forester Laura Prevatte hopes a seminar next week will help heirs get a better handle on finances, forest health, sales, environmental stewardship and the others details of timber management. Forest Service District Eight includes Pender, Brunswick, Columbus, Bladen, Sampson, Duplin and New Hanover counties. Landowners from across the area are welcome to attend. The aging population puts more and more people into the unfamiliar and sometimes
Shooters

shaky business of timber sales, management and production, Prevatte said. “We hear about it more and more,” she said. “A farmer dies, and his wife and family don’t know what to do about their timber. The husband, the father who passed away, he always handled these things, and they’re lost. We have people who buy a place in the woods, or a small farm, and they don’t know what to do about their commercial forests. There are some things you must know and do to properly handle timber, from estate management and taxes to the health of the forest. “A lot of unscrupulous buyers out there will leave heirs with damaged property, stumps and trees everywhere, and a big tax bill that the sale of the timber doesn’t even cover,” Prevatte explained.
Participants from all over the district signed up for last year’s seminar, Prevatte said. Last year’s workshop was challenging due to foul weather, but Prevatte said she hopes the second seminar will be a big success. Participants will take a “hay ride” style tour of a working forest in Currie, and attend classes on both financial and practical timber management. Lunch will be provided. The workshop will be held at 2324 Borough Rd., Currie, in Pender County, from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. Prevatte said landowners from across District Eight are encouraged to attend. Pre-registration is required, but the event is free. For more infor mation, call 910.515.9563, or log on to ncsu-feop.org/landowners/ WFWhome.html .
proved very popular. Pender County has partnered with the NCWRC to fund the upkeep of the facility and pay for attendants. The NCWRC is funding construction costs. Pender officials plan to cover the local cost of running the

anymore. Everything they can learn inside of a classroom, they can learn outside. They have more space to do it, and children need to move their bodies to learn. They learn risk-taking much better too. It’s a chance for them to not be told no all the time. They need to trust their instincts and in today’s world, it’s too closed off. “They’re not given the opportunities to just be children anymore. I worry about everyone having an Ipad and a cell phone when they’re so young, and never knowing what kind of tree this is or what kind of insects things are. We believe in learning without the walls. Children are washable, and clothes are washable. Let’s embrace that,” said Fisher. Puddle Jumpers is located at 9424 Hwy 210 in Rocky Point. They can be found on Facebook, or at www.puddlejumpersnaturepreschool.com.

Education key to getting the most from trees
Jefferson Weaver
The sunset ride home
It’s arguable that the first crop harvested by Europeans in North Carolina was gold – not the kind many sought, that comes from the ground, but the kind that grows in our forests. Longleaf pines once dominated the landscape, and likewise, the naval stores and timber industries dominated the economy. Management practices were almost unknown for the better part of two centuries, until the Depression and later the post-World War II construction boom seriously endangered the environment of our state and others. Trees are not like corn, soybeans or tobacco; they don’t require constant, day to day care, but they also take decades to grow to maturity, A number of businesses unlike row crops that are, in and government agencies have the grander scheme of things, come together for the workhere today and gone tomorshop, which will include tours row. Our county is dotted with of an actual working forest, forests that have benefitted from proper management by seminars on taxes, forest health individuals who knew the and management, and estate value of good timber, and planning.. planned accordingly. One wellknown timberman who passed away several years ago said that pulp wood is planted to pay the annual taxes on the pines you plant for your grandchildren. As our community has aged and changed, so have the managers of these woodlands. Widows and children of timberowners find themselves thrust into the role of caretaker of a crop that is more investment than commodity – and for those who didn’t learn the ins and outs of the timber industry at Dad’s knee, they find themselves at the mercy of predatory harvesters and resellers. Unknowing owners can find themselves not only being ripped off for their timber, but left with a clearcut mess of stumps, branches and rotten logs – and a huge tax bill. District Eight Service Forester Laura Prevatte has seen this too many times in her years with the N.C. Forest Service. It’s her goal, and that of the Forest Service, to educate timberowners, and help them learn how to protect their corp, and get the most for their trees. The Women’s Forestry 101 Workshop is not just for women, but for anyone who finds themselves staring at a dozen acres of nearly-mature pines with no idea what to do next. There’s no way to gain a lifetime’s worth of education in one day, but the workshop is designed to help people learn where to go for the resources they need, as well as how to avoid the smoothtalking land-vandals who scan the obituaries for likely targets. With more folks moving to our area to escape the city and take advantage of rural living, there is even more of a need to be able to make informed decisions about proper timber management. It’s not just the investment of those who went before us at stake, but the health of the environment around us now. We hope the NCFS has an overflow crowd for the event; check the announcement elsewhere in this week’s edition for more information. You can’t just stick a bunch of saplings in the ground and hope for the best, anymore than you can always trust the smiling hard-selling timber buyer. Forestry is an exercise in patience, but education is key to getting the best harvest for your money, and being able to plant trees for your own grandchildren. The seeds you plant today are the economy and environment of ten, twenty and even thirty years from now. Learn to manage them properly.
A friend of mine the other day noted how he loved the smell of creosote. He grew up in a working class family that was barely getting by, and they lived on the “wrong� side of the tracks in a small town. His childhood was filled with the sights and smells of trains. Even today, he said, the smell of creosote – the preservative that old-school railroad ties secrete on a hot summer’s day when the rails shimmer off in the distance—makes him smile. Another buddy with a Schwinn Meridian bike found a firm that reproduces the generator-powered head and tail lamps that will match his repro bike. I had the battery-operated job on my Raleigh, since I could never be convinced of my bike’s inability to go off-road, and the generator would always get knocked off kilter. Even though I’m now staring hard at a half-century, and compared to many, my childhood wasn’t that long ago – I had to remark to my bicycle buddy that we really came along in a great time for kids. I have no idea how many cane poles, some good and some bad, I made through the years. As I grew up, the simple canes were replaced by spincasters and spinning reels (they’re different, you know) attached to progressively lighter and more modern rods. Still, many was the bream, catfish or other critter dropped in a No. 3

Dear Concerned, It’s true! Research has found that a new diet plan – called the MIND diet – can have a profound impact on your brain health as you age, and can even lower your odds of getting Alzheimer’s disease. The MIND diet takes two proven diets – the hearthealthy Mediterranean diet and the blood-pressure lowering DASH diet – and zeroes in on the foods in each that specifically affect brain health. The MIND diet, which stands for “MediterraneanDASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay,� was developed by Martha Clare Morris, a nutritional epidemiologist at Rush University Medical Center, through a study funded by the National Institute on Aging. The study followed the diets of nearly 1,000 elderly adults, who filled out food questionnaires and underwent repeated neurological testing for an average of 4.5 years. It found par ticipants whose diets most closely followed the MIND recom-

Grab the gazpacho and lets go
Bill Messer Several years ago, after a string of hurricanes and near misses, I thought it might to be wise to make sure I had plenty of nonperishable foods on hand, in addition to extra water, gas and batteries. This year, my hurricane prep has gotten out of hand. My first time shopping for long-term storage foods happened spontaneously, at one of the big-box stores, with pallets of case lot Hormel Chili with Beans, a favorite of mine, so since they were
on sale, I bought a couple of ‘flats’ of the six-packs, tucked them away behind a chair in the bedroom, and forgot about them. When I finally thought about checking the ‘best used before’ date, I had missed it by three full years. I got to thinking I ought to use up all my chili and get some emergency food more suitable for long-term storage. Here in Hampstead, I have many Mormon friends, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and sought their guidance, and got varying interpretations of how much food to have on hand. ‘Self Reliance’ in the LDS community suggests three months of food, as well as three months of financial reserves. I was delighted to find all the help I needed available at the online LDS store and ordered a basic set of es-

Jefferson Weaver bucket and hauled home after a misfortunate meeting with a cane. Often as not, now that I think about it, that bucket was carefully hung over the handlebars of a bike ridden beside a railroad track. The short line still ran to the mill in Erwin when I was a kid, although the trains usually only moved through at night. It was completely unlike the fast-movers moaning through the dark in Dunn, their songs rolling up the streets to the old house on Divine Street. If one utterly defied parental rules, one could go out the door to the roof from one’s brother’s room and watch the 3 a.m. train—not that I would ever do such a thing, you know. The short line by our next house was a bit sneakier. More than once, as I was pedaling furiously up
the dirt path on the sunset ride home, right after the sun slipped red behind the trees, the whole world would suddenly be lighted up like something out of a Steven Spielberg film. The trains to the mill moved at a snail’s pace, since it was a dead-end line, but it was still fun to race beside boxcars covered in graffiti written by kids in big cities who obviously never benefitted from cane poles and catfish. I find it sad that the children—and now grandchildren, egads – of people my age will likely never know a lot of the pleasures we took for granted. Roland and Rita Russ, for instance, are two buddies of mine whose kids still climb trees, yet another family I know has a son roughly in between theirs who isn’t allowed to walk into a store on his own. At their age, mothers shooed us out of the house after breakfast and as long as they had a vague idea where we were, never saw us again until meal times. We “pressed pennies� on railroad tracks, despite dour warnings that we would cause a derailment. We climbed trees. We ate dirt, sometimes on purpose, sometimes because we lost a fistfight. We stole watermelons, apples, pears and persimmons, sometimes with a good-humored owner’s knowledge, oftentimes without. We carried Daisy and Crosman airguns, and later

New MIND diet may help Alzheimer’s Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that there’s a new diet that can help prevent Alzheimer’s disease. What can you tell me about this? My 80-year-old mother has Alzheimer’s and I want to do everything I can to protect myself. Concerned Daughter
mendations had brains that functioned as if they were 7.5 years younger, and it lowered their risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease by as much as 53 percent. And even those who didn’t stick to the diet perfectly but followed it moderately well reduced their risk of Alzheimer’s by 35 percent. The MIND Menu The MIND diet has 15 dietary components. The emphasis is on eating from 10 brain-healthy food groups, and limiting foods from five unhealthy groups. Here’s a rundown of the healthy foods you should work into your diet: s'REEN LEAFY VEGETABLES (like spinach and salad greens): Eat at least one serving per day. s/THER VEGETABLES !T LEAST one other vegetable a day. s7HOLE GRAINS 4HREE OR more servings a day. s.UTS &IVE ONE OUNCE servings a week. s"EANS !T LEAST THREE servings a week. s"ERRIES 4WO OR MORE servings a week. s&ISH /NCE A WEEK s0OULTRY NOT FRIED 4WO times a week. s/LIVE OIL 5SE IT AS YOUR primary cooking oil. s7INE /NE GLASS A DAY And the five unhealthy
food groups you should limit include: s2ED MEAT %AT FEWER THAN four servings a week. s"UTTER AND MARGARINE Less than a tablespoon daily. s#HEESE ,ESS THAN ONE serving a week. s0ASTRIES AND SWEETS ,ESS than five servings a week. s&RIED OR FAST FOOD ,ESS than one serving a week. Other Benefits One of the best things about the MIND diet is that it’s easer to follow than most other diets and you don’t have to stick to it perfectly to gain the benefits, which makes it more likely you’ll follow it for a long time. And the longer you eat the MIND way, the lower the risk of getting Alzheimer’s disease. Another advantage is that the MIND diet can help you lose some weight too, if you keep your portions in check and are careful about how the food is prepared. It’s also important to understand that even though diet plays a big role, it’s only one aspect of Alzheimer’s disease. So get regular exercise, if you smoke, quit, and learn how manage your stress to lower your risk even more. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O.

Words of wisdom A few weeks ago, I was priveliged to share a few words about my mother-in-law, Kinuko Hill. Last Wednesday, she lost her valiant battle with ovarian cancer. After four years, she was tired of the fight and ready to be reunited with Virgil Hill, her husband and the absolute love of her life. I’m not writing in sadness, however, because Kinuko’s was a life fully lived. But, there comes a point when the journey ahead holds a greater promise. She let go peacefully with her children beside her. Sometimes, comfort comes in the least obvious of places. As a second grade teacher, I am gifted with a group of wise little souls whose ideas remain untainted by the influence of the world and still open to wonder and possibility. They have been a welcome distraction amid the whirlwind of grief and arrangements. In this vein, I am passing the pen to these young sages so that, perhaps, their words of wisdom might enlighten and endear a larger audience. “Don’t let your little cousin use your rabbit’s litter box.� Lilly “Never eat a lot of watermelon right before you go to bed.� Avah “Never lie to your mom or dad or you might have to go to time out.� Grady “Don’t let your pet bobcat sit on your head.� Annastasia “Never let another kid cut your hair.� Alexis “If you are a football player, don’t pretend to be a ballerina on the field. Also, trust, live and love because life is short.� Miller “Never push your brother into the grill.� Grant “Never wrestle with your friend in a store.� Brody “Eat your vegetables.� Dylan “Don’t try to fight your sister.� Xavier “Never ask your mother a lot of questions when she has grocery bags in her hand.� Rhylee “Don’t make your teacher mad.� Russell “Give your teacher turkey feet. It will make her happy.� Anna “Know your history.� Jackson “Seek first to understandespecially Mrs. Hill.� Jaylin “If you kick your soccer ball too hard, it might go over the fence.� Ayden I hope to share more rules for living from these amazing children in the coming weeks. In my mother-in-law’s passing, I am reminded to slow down and breathe, to take care of myself so that I am better able to care for those in my charge and to drink in everything this life has to offer-both good and bad. In her memory, I will walk more, plant lots of flowers, weed my gardens each day, take time to record the oral history of my elders, play outside, re-embrace childhood and notice even the smallest miracles which surround me. I hope my life is well lived at the end of every single one of my days. Today I shall behave as if this is the day I’ll be remembered. Dr. Seuss
Backyard Adventures with Pender Tourism
Harrell House B&B great getaway

My Spin
By Tammy Proctor Pender County Tourism Director Special to the Post & Voice Just a stone’s throw from U.S. Hwy. 117, there’s a bed and breakfast tucked behind tall pines and oaks along a creek and ravine. It is Harrell House Bed and Breakfast, a place where Pender County visitors and locals escape the busyness of life. “It’s an old homestead,” said Diane Harrell Ludlum Crane, owner of Har rell House. “That’s what makes us unique. We’re a homestead and those tools on the wall were used to build this place.” Crane started the Harrell House Bed and Breakfast as a hobby more than eight years ago. She treasures the land, which was deeded by King George that stretched between the Northeast Cape Fear River and the Cape Fear River. “Originally it was 100 acres,” she said. “During the years, the family sold or divided the land into farms and parcels. This is the last little five-acre plot.” And what a property it is! The farmhouse was built in 1897 by Crane’s granddaddy, James Boney Harrell. It was moved to its present location. “James Boney Harrell was only 18 years old,” Crane said, as she points out family heritage and photos in the ‘dogtrot’ hallway of Harrell House. He

The specter of a sexual predator lurking around every corner, or a kidnapper behind every bush, never entered the picture, possibly because we all knew how to fight, possibly because such monsters weren’t coddled back then as they are now. The fact that my dog was with me everywhere I went was quite a reassurance as well; most of us had dogs whose loyalty was second only to that of our parents.

built the house with two carpenters and one brick mason. There are four bedrooms, each with private baths. There’s the Lilac Room, the Blue Room, the Green Room, and the Bunk Room for children. A fifth room, the Ivory Room, is available if one large party rents the entire house. The house is fur nished with modern conveniences but visitors will love Cousin Cora’s antique horsehair couch or the working pump organ. The bedrooms feature beautiful old beds and quilts. The Harrell House Bed and Breakfast is a non-smoking facility and they do not serve alcohol. However, they do believe in serving hardy country breakfasts. Crane said guests can set their breakfast times. No one wants to be rousted from bed early if they are enjoying their retreat. “Warm cookies are waiting upon your arrival,” said
Crane. The front porch overlooks the ravine and creek. It is lined with rocking chairs. There are screened porches and plenty of peace and quiet. “Generations worked this land,” said Crane. “Children have grown up here. Now it’s a retreat for travelers and locals.” Crane said the bed and breakfast has hosted small weddings and the beautiful rooms make for a romantic honeymoon suite. Har rell House Bed and Breakfast is open year round. Reservations are a must. Guests who stay two nights or more are treated to a discount. For more information about rates and reservations, visit the website at hhbedandbreakfast.com or call 401-707-7071. Harrell House Bed and Breakfast is located at 9457 U.S. Hwy. 117, near the historic Welsh Tract.
met meals – just zip open and pour in a cup of boiling water – were the survivalist’s favorite. Then they carefully set a cook pot on the grate at a public park, opened and poured in bottled water, and got a fire going. Sometimes, the presenter would strike a spark with a fire-steel, a metal match that, when stroked with a steel edge, will cascade a shower of sparks into a wad of tinder, carefully blown into flames. Some used lighters, others used flint and steel, magnifying lens, hand drills and bow drills. I had vision flashbacks from some earlier Boy Scout days, and the magazine Outdoor Life, in which smiling
Scouts operated the bow drill and, from a wisp of smoke at the base of the spindle more smoke arose, and then, bending over and coaxing the smoldering pile of wood dust over onto a ‘birds nest’ of tinder, blew into it and the red glowing center burst into flame. I went to the universal foundation of all human knowledge – YouTube – and found several demonstrations of the process. Some worked much better than others, and I found it was the type of wood that matters, and some woods work a whole lot better and easier than others.
of a century before. We were sunburned, bee-stung, and occasionally dog-bitten -- usually because we deserved it. Kids still play summer ball, I am glad to see, but we understood losing, or not getting to play. I know some leagues still function that way, but there was never a stigma attached to winning. People were proud of you if you won, but if you did your best and lost, that was all that mattered. The only lawyers involved with our ball leagues were coaches, parents and sponsors – and nobody wanted to fight, since that meant you could get kicked off the team. We cursed, since adolescents have always prided themselves on harsh language, but there were some words that simply were not said, and you never said them around adults. This struck home hard the other day when I saw and heard a kid go into a parking lot tirade at a man, I assume his dad, over not being able to drive. The kid dropped a particular foul yet popular word enough times to shame
a sailor, and punched the car in question for emphasis. The grownup in the conversation just responded in kind, without the punch. I’d have been shocked were it not for the two young ladies I heard walking down the street the other day who were dropping the same word as though the words were seeds in a garden. As long as we checked in by sunset—or as was often my case, a moment or two after, since I begrudged even a squandered moment of freedom—there were rarely any concerns. Our parents seemed happier then, too, than many I see now. Another thing that bugs me is that we worked when I was a kid, even before that magical, mystical, mythical day when one got a driver’s license and the world became one’s oyster. We mowed grass, raked leaves, washed cars, cleaned houses, trapped critters, dug fishing worms, delivered papers, redeemed drink bottles, split wood, fed livestock, suckered, cropped, harvested, handed and hung tobacco, and helped haul pigs

Will $500 tuition help struggling universities? Most of our state’s 16 public universities are thriving but the UNC Board of Governors and our General Assembly continue to look for solutions at struggling campuses in smaller communities and those with larger minority enrollments. Declining enrollments, financial mismanagement and academic problems too often surface in many of these schools and beg solutions. Senator Tom Apodaca has proposed legislation to help these universities attract more students, while at the same time addressing the mounting debt many students incur. His suggestion is to freeze tuition at targeted universities at $500 per semester for eight consecutive semesters, perhaps a good starting point for a long-overdue conversation. Leaders have known for years about problems in these universities but have deferred serious consideration to fixing them because they necessarily raise questions of race, tradition, faculty and administrative personnel, admission standards, academic rigor and campus culture issues guaranteed to be both controversial and divisive. While we nibble around the edges of the problems we do great disservice to the institutions, the students and the taxpayers of our state. Hard questions need answering. Why are students choosing to attend other public universities instead of these schools? Many minority students who might previously have attended are gaining admission to other institutions within the system and to the auction at 6 a.m. whilst riding on the rusty fender of a tractor – usually before any of us were in eighth grade. Now I hear folks debating as to whether or not they should get a part-time job to better provide for their high school kids. What happened, people? What in the world happened to us? I know there are still a lot of good kids with even better parents out there, but I can’t help but think we’d live in a better world if Ipads, Ipods, video games and televisions were traded in for cane poles, good dogs, and the smell of creosote as a train’s headlamp silhouettes your bicycle and a bucket swings on the handlebars on the sunset ride home. –Weaver is a columnist for the Post & Voice.

Simon Green Atkins (WSSU) and Dr. E. E. Smith (FSU). These heroic and dedicated educators devoted their lives to ensuring access and education to the poor and disadvantaged, and we strongly suspect these founders would be leading the charge to make needed changes to assure they survive and thrive. A cursory examination of leaders in education, business, politics, the arts and nonprofit sectors demonstrate the value these institutions have played in their personal development. That said, none of our public universities can live on past accomplishments. Current circumstances, especially in our historic minority and smaller universities, mandate that changes are needed, perhaps significant changes. It is time for our Board of Governors, educators, legislators and leaders from all races and disciplines come to the table in a spirit of finding solutions to ensure these struggling universities can be viable for the future.

matriculate to them. Many White and Asian students don’t even apply to these schools. Do they believe they can’t receive the quality of instruction at HBUs? Do they not feel they would fit into the prevailing culture on these campuses? Do these schools not offer specialty majors and advanced degrees sufficiently attractive to students? Apodaca’s proposals also raise questions. Will reduced tuition necessarily result in more enrollments? Does cheap tuition send the message of lesser quality instruction? Does it also accompany lower admission standards? Will it really lower the real cost of delivery in higher education? If not, who is going to pay for the reduced revenues to these schools? Are taxpayers willing to absorb the projected $60 to $80 million increase in the state budget? We are not ready to give up and close these universities, especially those in the northeastern, southeastern and far western parts of our state.

Continued from page 5A A bow drill uses a regular bow, and I made my first one with a limber branch from a live tree. The bowstring slipped around the spindle as I pressed it down harder. The spindle is a piece of wood, a limb about a foot long, rounded cone shaped on one end, sharp cone on the other end. The bowstring wraps one turn around the spindle, which is spun between the top block, held in one hand, and the workpiece, clamped down firmly with a foot, while the other hand and arm push and pull the bow back and forth the set the spindle spinning around to make the friction and heat necessary to get the wood dust to smoldering temperature. Once smoldering, a few breaths of air directed at the smoldering wood dust will reveal a glowing ‘ember’, and this is the crown jewel of the process. I tried a good basic soft wood for the workpiece; tulip poplar, and tried another, mimosa. I dried them in the microwave which was, I found out, another great way to produce lots of smoke from hot wood. Both almost worked, I was able to make lots of smoke, but no sustain-

Gene Gray Powers MAPLE HILL -- Gene Gray Powers, 81, of Maple Hill passed gently from his earthly ing ‘ember’. The key to the workpiece is the hole first formed in the wood by the spindle. The hole is begun with a knife, just an indentation big enough to keep the spindle tip from wandering once drilling begins. Once enough drilling has been done and the starter hole is now round and the same diameter as the spindle, you quit, and carve a V-notch from the center of the hole to the edge of the workpiece and through the edge. By the second attempt you’ll learn the right distance from the edge. This notch is where the wood dust will accumulate as it is friction drilled from the hole. Now, saw away like there’s no tomorrow, and the spindle will produce huge amounts of smoke, and now you should go even faster and press down harder. Harder, faster, harder, faster, and just when you can’t do another stroke, slowly and carefully lift the spindle from the workpiece. With any kind of luck, you will have a tell-tale wisp of smoke. Blow on it, medium gently, and it may smoke even more. Now, carefully, push the wood dust from the notch with the tip of your camp knife, and then pick it up with the knife and transfer the ember to your waiting ‘birds nest’ of tinder and breath life into the ember as

What can possibly go wrong? Everything. It took me the better part of a week to get it sorted out. The first bow was too flexible and the bowstring developed slack. Consulting YouTube, I found that the bow didn’t need to be flexible at all, that a one inch diameter dry limb about three feet long was ideal. The best ‘suggested’ materials listed cedar siding as an excellent beginner wood because it was likely to be dry, and is soft and resinous, and available at Lowes, in planks of various lengths. I already had some small pieces left over from replacing a couple of planks on my house, and I tried it, the best of all the woods I tried. Here’s what I learned the hard way: the spindle needs to have fresh, uncharred, wood on its tip. The fire starter hole works better if started fresh, too. The upper

bearing block works easier if lubricated with ‘bear grease’ or bearing grease if that’s what you have, otherwise suntan lotion, cooking oil, chapstick. It will take time to develop the balance and ‘feel’ for keeping the spindle, workpiece and upper bearing in alignment and vertical, else the spindle will slip out of the hole and fly off. It will happen many, many times during the learning process.

Pirates in state championship series June 3-4
Topsail nine heading for the big show

In My Opinion
By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer Fundamentals are the foundation upon which everything in life is built, and on a sunny and humid day last Saturday morning the Topsail High School baseball team put forth one of the finest displays of fundamental baseball you may ever see at the high-school level. The Pirates (21-10) combined the fundamental effort with another stellar pitching effort from staff ace Palmer Rice and now they are headed back to familiar territory – the NCHSAA 3A state championship series. Coming off just three days’ rest after throwing just 48 pitches in a winning effort on Tuesday, Rice threw a complete-game, two-hit, eightstrikeout game as Topsail defeated Corinth Holders 2-1 in the deciding game of the East regional best-of-three series. “It’s a testament to the guys, their hard work, they’ve shown up every day,” Topsail Coach Chris Blake said. “People have counted us out many times. We’re a young team. We graduated nine seniors, plus the things that went on off the field, and the slump we had there near the end of the regular season, they could have given up at any time. But they kept showing up and doing their jobs, and played great baseball.”

The Topsail Pirate baseball team poses after winning the Eastern Regional Champtionship. Both Topsail runs scored in exactly the same way – one in the first and one in the third. Josh Madole led off both frames with a double, bringing up Bryce Cota. Cota showed why it is a “team” game by giving himself up twice, delivering both times with perfect sacrifice bunts. That brought Sam Hall to the plate and, like his team-
mates, he responded by sending a deep fly ball to left to score Madole in the first, and by driving a ball even deeper to center in the third to send Madole scampering home with the eventual winning run. The visiting Pirates (19-9) did not threaten at all through the first five innings, but they mounted their one serious
threat in the sixth. Two singles and a walk, along with a Topsail error, plated one run and left a runner on second. “After a strikeout, Corinth cleanup hitter Tyler Proctor smacked a ground ball that hopped over Madole’s glove. Right-fielder Cameron Kimrey came up throwing as the

Errors sink Lady Pirates in East Regional By Lee Wagner Post & Voice Sports Writer No one will deny it has been a great year – make that two great years in a row – for the Topsail softball program. This year’s record of 26-5 included the second-straight Mid-Eastern 3A/4A regular season title (11-1) and the conference tournament championship, and all that came on the heels of a 20-8 mark in 2015, good enough for a conference title with another 11-1 record. Both years the Topsail girls advanced to regional championship series. 2015 ended with a pair of losses to Northern Guilford (11-2 and 3-2), but along the way was a 6-5 win over C.B. Aycock that knocked the then-defending 3A state champions out of the playoffs. This year the Lady Pirates once again made it to the regional championship series and, lo-and-behold, awaiting them was C. B. Aycock – the top-rated 3A team in the state

The Lady Pirates finished the season with a 26-5 record. – and this time the Lady Falcons were not to be denied. Junior pitcher Taylor Waddell tossed a completegame shutout with four strikeouts and the Lady Fal-
cons scored three unearned runs without the benefit of a single RBI by an Aycock batter to advance to the NCHSAA four strikeouts . “We were right there,”
Topsail Coach Jay Abston said. “We had chances on both the last two games we just couldn’t capitalize on some things. It is kind of tough when you get down early. The first couple of innings were good. We were right there and we tried to throw them off with ‘Grizz’ (Hayley Grizzle), a change of pace, and it worked. They had trouble with it but they capitalized on our mistakes. “I told the two seniors (Keri White and Danielle Parks) they will represent their school well when they play in college but we’re still building. We have the whole core back and we’ve got some good, very good, players coming up from the middle school. This program is going to be strong for a long time.” Aycock scored its first run in the third when a ground ball was bobbled at third, followed by a bad throw to first. The second run came in the

Topsail Middle takes county baseball title By Bob Willard Special to the Post & Voice The Topsail Pirates Middle School baseball team earned the county championship last Monday by downing regular season co-champions Cape Fear Middle School in a contest that matched both teams sporting even records for the regular season, both experiencing just one loss. Topsail’s Jackson Sullivan hurled a two-hit shutout against the Cape Fear school, winning 5-0 in the seven inning contest. In Topsail’s second inning with one out, Jamison Long singled. Charlie Combs followed with a two bagger, scoring Long. After Combs occupied third base on a passed ball, Trent Wrench followed with a booming fly ball to right field, allowing Combs to tag and score the second run of the inning. In the fourth, Long walked and went to second on a followup walk to Combs. A Cape Fear
Well, well, well. The Topsail baseball team is headed to the state 3A championship. Who would have thought that a team that lost a bunch of seniors would have been able to make a run so deep into the playoffs. Two years ago the Pirates went to and won the state title. That team had two well-known pitchers that had signed or were about to sign to play division one baseball. they also had a veteran group of players that had played together for quite some time. They also had a veteran head coach that knew what it took to win the whole thing. If you think back, those Pirates had Trent Hansley and Clark Cota. Both of those guys could have been the ace of any high school team in the state. They also had an experienced backstop in Trader Flora. That team was strong from top to bottom. If I remember right the 2014 state championship team did not have a great record. In fact, they were only 6-6 in the Mid-Eastern Conference and 15-8 over-
all. They won six straight to win the championship. There are some similarities between the two teams. Both played a tough schedule and both went into the playoffs with less than shining records. The similarities end there. This year’s team went into the season with no clear cut number one starter. Bryce Cota was set to be the number one but did not pitch due to an injury and subsequent surgery. I believe that this helped the team in the long run as they ended up with a very deep rotation. The 2014 team had two number ones and several other good arms. However, they were primarily a two pitcher team. Although some would say that Payton Rice has become the number one for this year’s team, Coach Chris Blake has relied on several arms. The 2014 team had power and speed. Hansley had a big bat as did Cota. This year’s team relied more on singles and doubles along with a fundamentally sound approach at the plate. The biggest similarity between the two teams is the support from the community. Both teams have an abundance of support from the Hampstead area as well as from Topsail Island. The booster club has done great things over the last three years and it shows in the facility. No matter what happens this week, there is no doubt that the Topsail baseball program has become one of the best in the state.
Top Performers By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer This week the Post-Voice Top Performer column is a playoff edition. The Topsail baseball and softball teams went deep into the postseason. The Lady Pirate softball team fell in three games in the eastern regional finals to the top ranked 3A team in the state. Victoria Elder earned the teams win with a seven inning performance that included scattering 11 hits. Kyla Bowles led the Pirate bats with two hits and three runs batted in. she also had the game winning hit. Sophomore Christine McLean had three hits in the contest while Hayley Grizzle had two hits, a run scored and a ribbey. Alyssa Randall had two RBIs. Grizzle pitched the final game of the year for the Pirates, a 3-0 loss. The junior allowed only three hits and did not give up an earned run. The Post & Voice would like to recognize seniors Danielle Parks and Keri White
for their contributions to the Topsail Lady Pirate softball program. The Topsail baseball team went into the season with some major concerns. The team had lost a bevy of seniors and had some off field distractions as well. This did not slow the Pirate hardballers down. They went into the playoffs as the number 17 seed. Again, the Pirates took on all comers and have made it to the state championship finals for the second time in three years. Senior Payton Rice pitched the Pirates to a 1-0 advantage with four innings of two hit ball while William St. Ledger, Johnny Tartaglione, and Payton Phelps finished things off. Josh Madole reached base all four times with a base hit, a walk, and twice getting hit by a pitch. Aaron beach had two hits including a double and two ribbeys to pace the Pirates.

Davis is Post & Voice Trask Athlete of the Year By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer When senior Tynaffit Davis enter Trask High school the word potential was mentioned many times. He was an undersized skinny young man with an infectious smile and a quick wit. He also had mad ball handling skills on the basketball court. As his high school career progressed he grew both physically and talent wise. By the time he was a junior he was being mentioned in the same breath as Titan basketball greats Rasheed Brown and Ricky Dorm. Davis came into his senior year full of confidence and swagger. He had grown into a hulk of a young man. His basketball skills had also grown.

Topsail had five hits but never got a runner to third base. Grizzle was superb in her first mound outing since late April, pitching six innings with two strikeouts and five walks while giving up just three hits. “I was kind of shocked when the coaches said I had the ball because I hadn’t pitched much all year,” Grizzle said. “I remember talking to Hunter (Bizzell) earlier in class about having confidence. I knew my team needed me tonight, and I knew I could pitch.” Wednesday was a complete reversal from the 16 combined runs of the day before, thanks in no small way to the combined pitching efforts of Elder and Waddell –

Rice then had a perfect 1-2-3 top of the seventh “Payton had limited innings last year and this year and with Bryce not pitching we weren’t really sure who was going to show up and assume that leadership role,” Blake said. “We knew Payton Rice needed to, and he definitely has. Every start he’s given us a quality start.” Rice said the short rest did not have any effect on his performance on Saturday. “The way I practice I
Rivenburgh leaves legacy at Trask High By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer The first three years at Heide Trask were very productive for Taylor Rivenburgh. The standout senior backstop was among the leaders in the conference in most every offensive category. Through those first three years she began to gather attention for colleges throughout the southeast and beyond. Rivenburgh signed to play at Appalachian State and was looking forward to her senior year. However, injuries to both feet led to surgery and a lengthy road back. Taylor never complained. She played through pain for most of her senior year and still led the team at the plate. Miss Rivenburgh will go down as one of the best hitters to ever play at Trask Meanwhile she will take her game to the Mountains and Appalachian State. As she departs there is little doubt that she will leave a huge legacy in Titan Town.

Behind the play of Davis, the Titans won the Four County Conference regular season title. they also made a deep run in the state 1A playoffs. Tynaffit was named the Four County Conference player of the year. Davis was often times the best player and best athlete on the floor. He averaged 14.2 points a game and also snared 6.7 boards a game. He averaged 3.5 assists a game and 3.8 steals a contest as well. He gave the Titans opponents fits when he was on the floor. As a football player, Tynaffit used his quickness and athletic ability to become a very good high school player. Again he was often times identified as the best athlete on the field. He played several positions for the Titans including quarterback and
wide receiver and often times played on both sides of the ball. Finally, Davis slipped on his baseball duds this spring and yet again became a difference maker for Heide Trask. He played third base where he was steady and sure hand-
ed. He had a great bat as well; batting .358 with 15 runs batted in. He led the team with two homeruns. Tynaffit Davis was a multisport star for the Trask Titan athletic program. He is this year’s Post & Voice Trask male athlete of the year.
along with five Lady Pirate errors – as the Lady Falcons prevailed 5-2. The opening play of the game set the tone when Lady Golden Falcon Connor Vinson reached base on an error. A stolen base and a throwing error on the steal put Vinson on third and she scored on a sacrifice fly. Aycock put two runners on in the fifth on back-toback singles. With two out another throwing error allowed both runners to cross home plate. The Golden Falcons had three of their game-total of six hits in the inning. Aycock virtually put the game out of reach in the seventh with two more runs. A pair of Lady Pirate miscues contributed to both of those runs Parks reached base on a bunt single and Bizzell walked and Randall reached on an error to load the bases for Topsail in the bottom of the seventh with two outs. White hit a ball to shortstop that was misplayed with Parks and Bizzell scurrying home. A fielders’ choice
ground out ended the game. “I think we were just flat,” Abston said. “I think the error in the first inning on the first batter set the tone for the entire game and we just never recovered from it, just flat the whole time.” Bizzell (0-for-1, 3 walks, R/S) reached base three times – all on walks for the Lady Pirates. White (1-for-4), Elder (1-for-4), and Parks (1-for-3, R/S) had the Topsail hits. Tuesday the Lady Pirates used clutch base hits by Grizzle and junior Kyla Boyles for a come-from-behind 9-7 win. The game was a seesaw affair throughout with the Topsail girls fighting back from an early 2-0 deficit with five runs in the top of the second. That gave them a 5-2 lead. The Lady Golden Falcons got one back in the fourth but the visitors neutralize that one with one of their own in the top of the fifth. Aycock then scored four times in the bottom of the sixth for 7-5 lead before Topsail rebounded once more with three tallies in the top of the seventh.
The winning rally started with a leadoff walk to Randall. White then bunted her to second. With two outs, Grizzle singled to right to plate Randall, tying the game at 7-7. Maddy Laster a hit by a pitch and Christine McLean reached base on an error, which brought up junior Kyla Boyles. The eighth spot in the lineup – usually reserved for the designated hitter has been a bit of an Achilles heel for the Lady Pirates most of the year, and Abston and assistant coach Steve White used the pre-game batting practice as the basis for filling that spot. Today it was Boyles, and she delivered with a two-run double that scored Grizzle with the lead run and Laster with a comforting insurance tally. “It’s the way we’ve done things all year,” Abston said. “We’ve struggled there all year and we tend to go with whomever looks good in the warmups, and tonight it was Kyla and she came through for us in a big way.”
throw a lot so I try not to get any tiredness in my arm so in a game pitch count doesn’t really affect me,” Rice said. “Mainly I focus in pounding the zone and not throwing a whole lot of balls, and knowing what they were swinging at. I was throwing a lot of offspeed pitches today and letting my defense do what they do. We had an awesome pitching staff last year and I knew it would be big shoes to fill. I think my time was due, and I’m glad it’s all working out.” Friday’s loss was a tough one as the Pirates simply did not hit in the clutch. After taking a 1-0 lead in the second on an Emmertz’ single that scored Chase Riker, the Topsail hitters simply did not produce with runners on base. A two-out, two-on situation in the third ended with a fly ball, and a two-on with two out in the sixth ended with a

Corinth Holders scored twice in the bottom of the fourth – both runs unearned – on two Topsail errors, two Corinth hits, and a walk and that was all that was needed to send the series to a third game. Tuesday the Pirates came out with the intention of showing the visitors they were going to defend their home turf by scoring all their runs in the first inning in a 7-0 win. The Pirates sent 12 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first knocking out seven hits to go along with two Corinth Holders’ errors. Madole got the opening rally started by getting hit by a pitch and went to second on a passed ball. Cota reached on a bunt single but was out second on a fielders’ choice off the bat of Hall with Madole scoring. Riker singled to load
the bases and, after a strikeout, Aaron Beach doubled to plate with Cota and Beach scoring to make it 3-0. Colby Emmertz reached base on an error as Beach scored then Shane Nolan, Cameron Kimrey, Madole, and Cota singled for the final three runs of the inning. “He (Corinth pitcher Tyler Brown) was just throwing pitches we could hit,” said Madole, who was on base all four times with a base hit, a walk, and twice getting hit by a pitch in the leadoff spot. “I’m comfortable leading off, I’ll just go wherever coach wants me to play.” That was all Rice needed and he got the opportunity to get some extra rest after pitching four scoreless innings of two-hit ball. William St. Ledger, Johnny Tartaglione, and Payton Phelps finished things off.

Laster shows big improvement for Lady Pirates By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer At the beginning of the 2016 high school softball season the Topsail Lady Pirates had high expectations. They were coming off of a great year and had several starters returning. However, they lost three seniors that had played quite a bit. Maddy Laster has stepped in as a junior and played her way into the starting lineup. Miss Laster played multiple positions for Coach Jay Abston including the outfield and on occasion first base. Perhaps her biggest contribution was as an outfielder. She has speed and agility and gets to the ball quickly. Maddy made some great plays in the field this year and really stepped up her game in the state playoffs. She was a major contributor both at the plate and on the field. The Pirates will lose two starters to graduation this year. They will count on Maddy Laster to step up her game even more.

A walk along the piers in the area late last week made me feel a bit patriotic. It may have been the fact that it was Memorial Day or maybe it was the fact that I saw a few blues caught on the pier with rumblings of reds being caught in the backwaters and marshes. Reds and blues. Get it? If there would have been a few whiting caught it would have been perfect. Memorial Day has come and gone and the spring fishing season is officially upon us. The folks fishing on the piers in the area have had some success as of late with Spanish with a few blues mixed in. The guys on the pier are using gotcha plugs while the boaters are trolling clark spoons both shallow and deep. The redfish bite is improving as well. I like using gulp baits but a live mud minnow will work as well. If you are really a skilled angler looking for a fight, a topwater lure will try your luck. Hooking a feisty red on a top water lure is a good as it gets. Folks are saying that the flounder bite is getting better. My friend Wendy Lewis is up to her old tricks again just south of us. She landed a couple of what she calls ‘gooduns” last week. Fix up a Carolina rig and use your cast net to find some live mud minnows and get ready to rock. Pier anglers say that a few croakers are showing up while the mullet bite is
just ok. A bottom rig baited with shrimp will work here. One note of interest. The storm of last weekend will probably muddy up the water and hamper the Spanish fishing. The fresh water bite is picking up as well. Work the banks of your favorite creek or along the river with red worms if you are in search of a few bream. The cats are biting cut up eel and chicken livers. This week’s fishing tip If you have been fishing in the coastal areas long enough you will have watched someone throw a cast net. Now I can’t tell you that I am a great cast net thrower. The truth is I am mediocre at best. However, after talking to a few cast net greats I have learned how to at least get the job done. Here are a few tips that I have taken to heart. It is not how hard you throw your net but rather how you throw the net. Prep your net. The setup is just important as the throw itself. Do not try and open the net. The throw itself will open it for you. The motion of your body opens the net. Your lower body stays in place. You twist your upper body and lean into the throw. Practice makes perfect. Throw your net again and again until it becomes natural. I am not at that point yet, but I am working real hard at it. Finally, choose the right net for you. Once you get the hang of it the size will not be as important.
Wendy Lewis caught these good'uns just south of us at Carolina Beach. The Rocky Point resident should be called the Flounder whisperer.
Rawls gives it all for Pender Patriot football By Bobby Norris Post & Voice Sports Writer There is an old saying that says when the going gets tough, the tough get going. In the case of junior Jake Rawls, the going got very tough in many of the games that he lined up under center as quarterback for the Pender Patriot football team. In fact there were times when he seemed to be nothing more than a tackling dummy for the opposition. Those long nights never deterred the feisty junior and he always came back for more. Even when he came up woozy he attempted to remain in the game. The 2016-17 season is just around the corner. With the new year comes renewed optimism. The Patriot offensive line will have another year under their belt. Jake Rawls will be back and as tough as ever. When the chips are down the Patriot faithful can count on Rawls to give it his all.

Bill Howard Outdoors
By Bill Howard Post & Voice Columnist The sky was a perfect slate of brilliant blue. The temperature was expected to be in the upper 80s. Winds were blowing from the east around nine miles per hour. The water was slightly choppy, but the waves were not high and the current was moderate. Yes, the day presented itself well for fishing from a kayak on the coast. The fish had a history of biting over the last couple of weeks, and I was anticipating the same results. But something was different. The water was flowing one way, the wind the other. The kayak just did not want to behave like it should in the turmoil from above and below. The chops were created from the mix of the current and wind as well, which caused a lot of sea spray and slaps along the side of the plastic vessel I was relying on to stay afloat in 60 feet of water. And the water was extremely cold. Despite the fact the air was warm, heck, downright hot, and had been for the last few weeks, the water just had not caught up in temperatures. Why is this relevant? Well, Memorial Day is here and that historically and culturally marks the time to hit the water. Pools open, ski boats come out of hibernation, and the lakes and reservoirs. Skiing, boarding and getting pulled on floats behind the boat is one thing. You are in the water and then you get out. But a new popularity has brought about new dangers. Kayaking, canoeing and paddleboards are becoming the in thing. Paddling seems easy enough. The vessels are more stable than what we had several decades ago as engineers have taken to the designing and composition of the crafts more seriously as the purchases increased. However, you still have a great potential of ending up in the water. Even the most experienced are known to turtle, a term used for flipping the vessel upside down while on the water. The issue with this is the number one cause of outdoor fatalities is not being bitten by venomous snakes or spiders, nor is it falling from cliffs or even

drowning. No, the number one cause is succumbing to hypothermia. Recently two kayakers traveled out on one of our rivers for a fun day’s paddle. One was new to the sport, in face it was her first time. Paddling the river, they found spot that was not kind to them, and both topsided. Left clinging to one of the rocks breaking the water’s surface, they held on tight for fear of getting swept away in the river’s current. One more seasoned paddler found a way to use his phone and call for emergency help. With a storm approaching during this same time, it took the emergency personnel nearly six hours to rescue the two stranded paddlers. Their only words of encouragement were to hang on to the rocks until help could arrive. Things turned out fortunate for the couple. Things could have turned a lot worse. The cell phone could have been damaged by water not allowing for the

call for help. They could have been either swept away or taken in the currents while trying to make a swim for shore. An injury could have cause prolonged exposure in the water, which then could have turned into danger from exposure to the cooler waters. There is no way to prevent accidents. That is the very nature of an accident. There is a way to be as prepared as possible for the worst and knowing the inherent dangers even in an otherwise normal situation. –Bill Howard is a lifelong North Carolina resident and hunter.

Veteran Owned, Veteran Grown means farm fresh By Lori Kirkpatrick, Staff Writer
Veteran Owned, Veteran Grown, LLC, (VOVG) based in Burgaw, consists of a group of patriots providing produce, eggs and meats for the American public they swore an oath to protect and serve. William (Bill) and Heather O’Brien started the group nearly two years ago with the overall mission of reaching veterans and their families. The O’Briens embrace the belief that veteran farmers play a vital role in the security and quality of our food supply; and that just because they have headed down a new path in life does not mean that they are any less vital to our country. It all started when Heather, a veterinarian, rescued some ducks a couple of years ago. Bill has an extensive military background under his belt, but he has not always been a farmer. Nevertheless, he made the jump from ducks to chickens, and he has been learning as he goes. Bill believes that the learning process is part of the therapy of it all. Now raising a few chickens has grown into something much larger than he had ever planned. The farm’s 30 acres of land originally belonged to Heather’s grandparents. While her grandfather was serving in the U.S. Army during World War II, his grandmother was saving up the checks he sent home. Just before he returned home from the war, Heather’s grandmother cashed them all in and purchased the property. It seems fitting that the land purchased by a veteran who served in a war is now being used to help veterans that are coming back from wars. “About two years ago, I just happened to see an ad from a lady that was looking for veterans to sell eggs,” began Bill O‘Brien. “I had just gotten into raising chickens and noticed I had an abundance of eggs. We got together and realized it was a great opportunity to help veterans raise money. It also turns out that raising the animals and being out here working on these projects is really great therapy. My biggest concern was that currently we’re looking at about 22 suicides a day for veterans, and that’s just not acceptable to me. These guys and girls go through hell, then they come back and their families go through hell; and they see no other way to deal with the situation. We saw this as an opportunity to help them. So far it’s had a pretty positive effect on the folks that we’ve been dealing with.” O’Brien said that their friends, Ashley and Sarah Harwood, had been raising pasture-raised pork, and O’Brien could tell by the way people were responding to them that they were doing a good job at it. He noticed that with all the veterans that were getting involved in farming, their main concerns were just like they were in the military - quality, security and providing the best that they could. When the Harwoods moved from Rocky Point to Onslow County, they collaborated with the O’Briens. Since the O’Briens had plenty of space, they cleared out space for the pigs. The VOVG operation has continued to grow since that time to include members in Richlands, Jacksonville, Maysville, Hampstead, Wilmington and the Burgaw area. O’Brien said that the pigs get free range of the woods and are fed fresh produce each day from Whole Foods in Wilmington. They are not given grain feed, steriods or antibiotics. If any of the animals get sick to the point that they are given antibiotics, they are not sent to market. O’Brien asserts that having once been in the military providing security to our country, the veteran farmers are providing this service in a new way by raising good healthy food for us to eat. “We just had our first event at Poplar Grove’s Farmers’ Market and we were incredibly successful. Harwood sold quite a bit of meat, honey, eggs and vegetables. We’re also going to be at two farmers’ markets in Onslow County and one at Carolina Beach. The hard part is that a lot of us also have full-time jobs. This being a regular business in its infancy, I’m struggling with deciding at what point I’m going to do this full time and really devote everything to it. Right now I’ve got about 20 farmers involved altogether, and that’s growing. The great thing about these guys and girls is they all have the type of personality that joins the military, and these folks are really driven to be successful at what they do. I’ve been impressed
Great Gift for Father’s Day!
with the caliber of people that I’ve met from doing this, and to see the families they’re raising. The families that are with us have been through some really tough times. They still deal with a lot of tough things, but they do it as a family now. That’s my goal, to keep that family unit together and not see it split apart. If that means putting a chicken in some guy’s hands so that he doesn’t get to feeling bad for awhile, then I will do that. The crazy thing about it is that it works,” said O’Brien.

Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom‌ Be dressed for action and have your lamps lit; be like those who are waiting for their master to return‌You also must be ready, for the son of man comes at an unexpected time. Luke 12: 32,35-36, 40 This passage tells us three things. It declares something we know. It tells us something that we will never know and it tells us what to do about it. The words, according to Luke come from Jesus. He shares three points with us First- Jesus tells us that God wants to give us a kingdom. It is not a prize we have won. It is not a present we have earned. It is a gift. God wants to give us a kingdom and it comes to us as a gift. Don’t start thinking that you deserve this because you don’t, no one does. Don’t believe it is a reward for good behavior, because it is not. You cannot win it even if you wanted. Don’t start thinking you have a right to it because it is not a right but rather a privilege. God
wants to give us the Kingdom and it comes as a gift from God through the grace of Jesus Christ. We receive it the only way we can receive it because God is giving it to us a free gift, as a blessing that comes by Grace. Now the thing we don’t know is just when the time will come to receive this gift. It will come at the end of time and no one knows the time or the season of its coming. It is a mystery that will come in God’s time and give us the kingdom of God through grace. If anyone claims to know the end time, if someone thinks they have a vision or prophesy on its arrival then they are a false prophet. The Bible clearly states that no one knows the time or the season. Not even Jesus knew when the end would come. Only God knows that and it will come in God’s good time, not our own. The end is coming and we are going to receive a kingdom, but we don’t have a clue as to when. So what do you do. The answer is simple. Be prepared!. Be prepared at all times to welcome the end. Be dressed and ready. Keep your lamps lit. Wait like servants looking for their master to return not knowing exactly when but prepared and ready
when the master arrives. Be ever vigilant. Be dressed for action. Be ever ready for the moment when Christ will come again. And as you go about your life of readiness, as you wait for the master’s return, share from the bounty you have on this earth. Do those things that broaden and deepen what God is doing in the world. Watch for His coming as you serve his kingdom even now through generous and giving lives. It is easy enough to get distracted in this life. As the time stretches out and the end still seems so far off. It is easy to drop our guard, do wane in our vigilance, to put off doing what is right and good and Godly in making this world a place where God alone will reign. The Kingdom is yours – there is nothing else to do to win it. It comes as an unexpected stranger in the night. So we stand ready with eyes open and hearts attuned to
what God is doing now and what God will do through us in the future. We make the world a better place while we wait for God’s completion of His creation. And when the kingdom comes to us we will be ready, equipped and alert to God’s dawning dream for this world. As we consider what we can do to speak God’s word, to embrace God’s will and embody the spirit of God within us. Then we are on the road to salvation. Then we are ever vigilant. We are prepared for the next great thing God will do. Then we are ready for whatever God will send us to do. Then we are ready for anything: Ready to believe, Prepared to act, engaged in ministry. Then we are watching and waiting like faithful servants for the time when the Master will come to lead us and invite us into His feast.

Sunshine and Vitamin D; important for good health Here comes the sun â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and most likely a very important vitamin youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not getting enough of: Vitamin D. When exposed to the sun, your body makes vitamin D. In fact, most of the vitamin D you get comes from the sun. Unfortunately, most of us are not getting enough vitamin D for one simple reason: lack of exposure to the sun. While using sunscreen is an important
defense against skin cancer, it may also be blocking our bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to make vitamin D. So why is vitamin D so important? Vitamin D has an impact on the health and function of every cell and gene in the body! Following are some of the benefits of vitamin D: s-AINTAINS HEALTHY BONES and teeth s3UPPORTS A HEALTHY IM-
mune, brain, and nervous system s3UPPORTS $IABETES MANagement s!IDS IN LUNG FUNCTION s3UPPORTS CARDIOVASCULAR health s(AS MOOD BOOSTING EFFECTS s&ACILITATES WEIGHT LOSS Some studies have linked vitamin D with prevention of several cancers, autoimmune diseases, Diabetes 1, and Mul-
tiple Sclerosis. A deficiency in vitamin D is thought to play a role in almost every major disease. It is estimated that over half the population is deficient in Vitamin D, putting them at risk for many chronic health problems and possibly severe illness. The solution may be as simple as sitting in the sun a little every day without sunscreen.
Just remember â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a little goes a long way. Just 15 to 30 minutes of unprotected exposure a few times a week may be enough. Be careful not to fall asleep in the sun without protection. Avoid sunburn. Repeated sunburns increase your risk for skin cancer. If you are planning to stay in the sun longer than 30 minutes, protect yourself ! Wear a hat and
apply sunscreen to exposed skin. Remember, once sunscreen is applied, your body will no longer make Vitamin D. To further optimize your vitamin D levels talk to your doctor about supplements. It is impossible to get enough vitamin D from food alone. Have your vitamin D levels checked regularly and if necessary, supplement with D3.
